[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer camera technology, and in particular to a telescopic rotating computer camera. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for remote work, online education, and video conferencing, webcams are becoming increasingly important as communication tools. However, in practical use, webcams face a number of potential risks and inconveniences, including but not limited to physical damage, difficulty in adjusting the viewing angle, and privacy issues when not in use.

[0003] For example, a telescopic rotating computer camera with publication number CN220706987U includes a telescopic rod, a camera module, and a fixing clip. The camera module and the fixing clip are respectively installed at both ends of the telescopic rod, which is a telescopic structure. The fixing clip includes a support and a clamping plate. One end of the clamping plate is installed at the end of the support through a damping hinge, which is used to adjust the angle between the clamping plate and the support. In summary, this utility model connects the camera module through the telescopic rod, allowing the camera module to extend and retract as needed. In addition, the telescopic rod can also rotate at multiple angles to change its usage state, allowing it to be hung on the screen for shooting or used standing on a table. The overall structural design is reasonable and improves the user experience. However, because this device is inconvenient to cover and protect the camera when not in use, it is easy to damage the camera. Even when stored in a protective cover, the process of taking it out and storing it is cumbersome and not convenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a telescopic and rotating computer webcam that can protect the camera while allowing it to be easily raised for use, preventing damage to the camera and providing convenient operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing computer webcams, such as the inconvenience of covering and protecting the webcam when not in use, which can easily lead to damage, and the cumbersome process of taking it out and storing it even when placed in a protective cover, this utility model provides a telescopic and rotating computer webcam that can protect the webcam while making it easy to lift and use, preventing damage to the webcam, and is convenient to use.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A telescopic rotating computer camera includes a clamping block, a protective cover, a clamping frame, a spring, a locking block, a cover assembly, and a telescopic rotating assembly. The clamping block is connected to the lower right side of the protective cover, and the clamping frame is slidably connected to the lower left side of the protective cover. Two springs are connected between the clamping frame and the protective cover. Locking blocks are connected to the left sides of both the front and rear sides of the clamping frame. The upper part of the protective cover is provided with a cover assembly that can cover and press down. The inside of the protective cover is provided with a telescopic rotating assembly that can rotate and extend.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower part of the clamping frame is a slope.

[0008] Furthermore, the card block has an L-shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover assembly includes a rotating cover and a torsion spring. The rotating cover is rotatably connected to the upper right part of the protective cover, and the locking block contacts the rotating cover. Both the front and rear parts of the rotating cover are connected to the protective cover by torsion springs.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes magnetic blocks, with magnetic blocks connected to both the front and rear parts of the rotating cover, and the magnetic blocks attract each other to the protective cover.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a telescopic rotating assembly, which includes a rotating block, a damper, a lifting block, a connecting rod, a camera, a motor, and an electric telescopic rod. The motor is connected to the lower part of the protective cover, and the motor and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The rotating block is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the rotating block is rotatably connected to the protective cover. The damper is connected to the upper side of the middle of the rotating block, and the lifting block is connected to the damper. The electric telescopic rod is connected inside the lifting block, and the electric telescopic rod and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The connecting rod is connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, and the camera is connected to the front side of the connecting rod. The camera is in contact with the rotating cover.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. By moving the clamping frame, the clamping block moves outward, so that the clamping block is no longer in contact with the rotating cover. At this time, the damper returns to its original state, which drives the lifting block to move upward, so that the camera moves upward. The torsion spring also returns to its original state, which drives the rotating cover to rotate and open, so that the camera can be extended. This achieves the effect of protecting the camera while making it easy to lift and use, preventing damage to the camera, and making it convenient to use.

[0013] 2. This utility model starts the motor, which drives the rotating block to rotate, causing the camera to rotate and its angle to be adjusted. Then, the electric telescopic rod can be started, which moves the camera back and forth to adjust its position. This achieves the effect of conveniently rotating and adjusting the position of the camera to adapt to different usage needs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A retractable and rotating computer camera, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a clamping block 1, a protective cover 2, a clamping frame 4, springs 5, a locking block 13, a covering assembly, and a telescopic rotation assembly. The clamping block 1 is connected to the lower right side of the protective cover 2, and the clamping frame 4 is slidably connected to the lower left side of the protective cover 2. The lower part of the clamping frame 4 is inclined, which makes it easy to be pushed for clamping. Two springs 5 ​​are connected between the clamping frame 4 and the protective cover 2. Locking blocks 13 are connected to the left side of both the front and rear parts of the clamping frame 4. The locking blocks 13 have an L-shaped structure, which makes it easy to limit the position. The protective cover 2 is provided with a covering assembly on the upper part, and the protective cover 2 is provided with a telescopic rotation assembly inside.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the covering assembly includes a rotating cover 3, a magnetic block 6, and a torsion spring 15. The rotating cover 3 is rotatably connected to the upper right part of the protective cover 2. The locking block 13 is in contact with the rotating cover 3. The magnetic blocks 6 are connected to both the front and rear parts of the rotating cover 3. The magnetic blocks 6 attract each other to the protective cover 2. The torsion spring 15 is connected between the front and rear parts of the rotating cover 3 and the protective cover 2.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a telescopic rotating assembly, which includes a rotating block 7, a damper 8, a lifting block 9, a connecting rod 10, a camera 11, a motor 12, and an electric telescopic rod 14. The lower part of the protective cover 2 is connected to the motor 12, and the motor 12 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The rotating block 7 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 12, and the rotating block 7 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 2. The damper 8 is connected to the upper side of the middle part of the rotating block 7, and the lifting block 9 is connected to the damper 8. The electric telescopic rod 14 is connected inside the lifting block 9, and the electric telescopic rod 14 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The connecting rod 10 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 14, and the camera 11 is connected to the front side of the connecting rod 10. The camera 11 is in contact with the rotating cover 3.

[0024] At this time, the damper 8 is in the contracted state and the torsion spring 15 is in the deformed state. When using this utility model, first place the protective cover 2 above the display screen or other installation position so that the display screen is located between the clamping block 1 and the clamping frame 4. During the placement of the protective cover 2, the clamping frame 4 will be squeezed, causing the clamping frame 4 to move outward. The spring 5 will be stretched, and the protective cover 2 will be fixed to the display screen through the clamping frame 4 and the clamping block 1. When the clamping frame 4 moves, it will cause the locking block 13 to move outward, so that the locking block 13 is no longer in contact with the rotating cover 3. At this time, the damper 8 returns to its original state, causing the lifting block 9 to move upward, causing the camera 11 to move upward. The torsion spring 15 also returns to its original state, causing the rotating cover 3 to rotate and open, allowing the camera 11 to extend. This can achieve protection for the camera 11 while making it easy to lift and use, preventing damage to the camera 11, and making it convenient to use.

[0025] When the camera 11 needs to be adjusted, the motor 12 can be started to drive the rotating block 7 to rotate, thereby rotating the camera 11 and adjusting the angle of the camera 11. Then, the electric telescopic rod 14 can be started to move the camera 11 back and forth, adjusting the position of the camera 11. This allows for convenient rotation and position adjustment of the camera 11, making it easy to adapt to different usage needs. When the camera 11 needs to be retracted, the lifting block 9 can be pressed down, the damper 8 can be contracted, and then the rotating cover 3 can be rotated to close. The torsion spring 15 deforms, causing the magnetic block 6 and the protective cover 2 to attract each other. Then, the protective cover 2 can be removed from the display screen, the spring 5 returns to its original state, and the clamping frame 4 moves to reset, so that the clamping frame 4 contacts the rotating cover 3, limiting the rotation of the rotating cover 3.

[0026] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
