[0106] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on this application are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0107] Currently, large conference rooms, high-end conference rooms, and executive offices are all equipped with electronic devices such as conference all-in-one machines, computers, or external cameras. Cameras are essential hardware for electronic devices such as conference all-in-one machines, computers, or external cameras, and are also the most basic hardware for video conferencing. Their cameras are usually exposed. Now, more and more users are beginning to consider security and privacy issues in important meetings or highly private places, and have put forward the need for cameras to be turned on when needed and kept in a covered state when not needed.

[0108] In some related technologies, cameras are circuit-driven, turning on when an application calls the camera and turning off when not in use. However, such circuit control still carries risks. The camera's on / off state can be controlled by software, and the camera may be accidentally turned on due to software bugs, hacker attacks, or other reasons. This results in low security and privacy for the camera, threatening user privacy and security.

[0109] To physically shield a camera and improve user privacy, this application provides a camera component and electronic device, including a cover that can physically shield the camera. The cover can slide open and close to shield the camera; specifically, the user can operate the cover to open and close the camera themselves. By physically shielding the built-in camera of electronic devices such as conference all-in-one machines, when the electronic device has security vulnerabilities or the user lacks security awareness, physical shielding can act as an extra line of defense, preventing the camera from being activated unknowingly, thereby protecting privacy, reducing the risk of hacker attacks, and fundamentally solving the security and privacy issues associated with cameras. The following is a detailed description of the camera component provided in this application embodiment:

[0110] This application provides a camera component, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 1 Explosion of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application Figure 1 , Figure 2 Explosion of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application Figure 2 , Figure 3 Explosion of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application Figure 3 (Camera 400 not shown) Figure 4 Explosion of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application Figure 4 (Camera 400 not shown), the camera assembly includes a front frame 100, a cover 200, a support member 300, and a camera 400; the camera 400 is disposed inside the front frame 100; the support member 300 is fixedly connected to the front frame 100 and the camera 400 respectively; the support member 300 has a first opening 310 for exposing the camera 400; the front frame 100 has a second opening 110 at a position corresponding to the first opening 310, the second opening 110 being used to expose the camera 400; as shown Figures 5 to 10 As shown, Figure 5 The state of camera 400 exposed for the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 6 The state in which the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application obstructs the camera 400. Figure 1 , Figure 7 The state of camera 400 exposed for the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 8 The state in which the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application obstructs the camera 400. Figure 2 , Figure 9 The state of camera 400 exposed for the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 10 The state in which the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application obstructs the camera 400. Figure 3 The cover 200 is slidably connected to the front frame 100 to cover or expose the first opening 310.

[0111] The camera component in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the cover 200 is positioned such that the first opening 310 is exposed, the camera 400 is exposed to both the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. In this state, the camera 400 is not obstructed and can take pictures through both the first opening 310 and the second opening 110; where, Figure 5 The first opening 310 shown is only a schematic representation of its location and does not represent its specific shape; for example... Figure 6 As shown, when the cover 200 is positioned to block the first opening 310, the camera 400 is blocked by the cover 200 and cannot capture external images through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. This achieves physical shielding of the camera 400, improving user privacy security. It solves the problem of accidental activation of the camera on electronic devices leading to information leaks and reduced privacy protection, especially in high-security scenarios such as confidential meetings and executive offices.

[0112] In addition to providing privacy protection, the camera lens cover 200 also serves to prevent dust and damage. Cameras exposed for extended periods are prone to accumulating dust and dirt, affecting image quality. The physical shielding provided by the camera lens cover 200 effectively protects the camera lens and extends its lifespan.

[0113] In all embodiments of this application, the inner side of the front frame 100 refers to the side of the front frame 100 facing the camera 400, and the outer side of the front frame 100 refers to the side of the front frame 100 away from the camera 400.

[0114] This application provides two embodiments, and the camera components of the two embodiments are described below.

[0115] The camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application is mounted on an electronic device, specifically on the outer frame 600 of the electronic device. The outer frame 600 is a structural component exposed outside the electronic device and has a decorative function. This first embodiment of the application proposes an improved design for the built-in camera of electronic devices such as large-size conference all-in-one machines, specifically designing a camera assembly that includes a camera obstruction structure. Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 for Figure 10 The image shows a sectional view (AA) of the camera assembly. The camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application includes a front baffle (front frame 100), a rear baffle (support member 300), a blocking component (blocking cover 200) sliding within the front baffle (front frame 100), and a lens (first lens 500) on the outer side of the rear baffle (support member 300). These components form a module, which is combined with the camera 400 and installed together in the outer frame 600. Physical blocking of the camera 400 is achieved by sliding the blocking component (blocking cover 200), thus meeting the user's needs. The specific solution is as follows:

[0116] like Figure 2 and Figures 5 to 11 As shown, the support member 300 is located between the front frame 100 and the camera 400. The cover 200 is at least partially located in the second opening 110 of the front frame 100 and can slide within the second opening 110 to cover or expose the first opening 310 of the support member 300. Both the first opening 310 and the second opening 110 are openings with thickness.

[0117] In this embodiment, the cover 200 slides within the second opening 110. When the cover 200 is positioned such that the first opening 310 is exposed, the camera 400 is exposed to both the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. At this time, the camera 400 is not obstructed and can take pictures through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. When the cover 200 is positioned such that it obstructs the first opening 310, the camera 400 is obstructed by the cover 200 and cannot take pictures of external scenes through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. This achieves physical obstruction of the camera 400 and improves the security of user privacy.

[0118] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 If camera 400 is currently obstructed, slide the cover 200 to the right to allow camera 400 to be positioned as shown. Figure 5 The exposed state is shown.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figures 12 to 14 As shown, Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1, Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 3 The first opening 310 of the support member 300 is a rectangular opening, the front frame 100 has a runway-shaped hollow structure, and the second opening 110 of the front frame 100 is a runway-shaped opening. For example... Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the cover 200 and the front frame 100 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 The cover 200 is a racetrack-shaped structure that is slightly smaller than the second opening 110 of the front frame 100. The cover 200 has a certain thickness and the outer edge of the cover 200 is designed with chamfers.

[0120] The first opening 310 and the second opening 110 can also be openings of other shapes; the cover 200 can also be of other shapes, as long as it can cover the first opening, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figures 16 to 18 As shown, Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the cover 200 and the front frame 100 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the cover 200 and the front frame 100 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the cover 200 and the front frame 100 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 4 The front frame 100 has a first sliding groove 120 on its inner side, which surrounds the second opening 110; the cover 200 includes a main body 210 and two sliding ribs 220 respectively disposed at the top and bottom ends of the main body 210; the main body 210 is slidably disposed in the second opening 110, and the sliding ribs 220 are slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 120.

[0122] In this embodiment, when the cover 200 is moved, the sliding rib 220 slides within the first sliding groove 120. The sliding rib 220 is integral with the main body 210. Therefore, while the sliding rib 220 slides within the first sliding groove 120, it will also drive the main body 210 to slide within the second opening 110, thereby realizing the sliding of the cover 200 to block the first opening 310 and thus block the camera 400; or to expose the first opening 310 and thus expose the camera 400.

[0123] Specifically, on the inner side of the front frame 100, around the second opening 110, a recess is formed towards the outer side of the front frame 100, creating a first groove 120. The first groove 120, the second opening 110, and the main body 210 of the cover 200 have the same shape, which can all be racetrack-shaped. This arrangement allows the cover 200 to fit more closely with the first groove 120 and the second opening 110, reducing the possibility of the cover 200 not providing adequate coverage, and also improving the aesthetics.

[0124] like Figure 11 As shown, the top and bottom ends of the main body 210 extend away from the main body 210 to form sliding ribs 220. The thickness of the sliding ribs 220 is less than the thickness of the main body 210; the portions of the main body 210 without sliding ribs 220 are located in the second opening 110; the side of the sliding ribs 220 near the front frame 100 abuts against the sliding groove sidewall 122 of the first sliding groove 120 near the second opening 110, that is, the cover 200 slides in contact with the sliding groove sidewall 122, which can improve the stability of the cover 200 when sliding.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the sliding rib 220 is provided with a first groove 221. The first groove 221 is on the side of the sliding rib 220 away from the main body 210 and is recessed towards the main body 210. The inner wall of the first sliding groove 120 is provided with a limiting protrusion 121, which is correspondingly provided with the first groove 221. The limiting protrusion 121 can be engaged in the first groove 221 to limit the continued sliding of the cover 200, indicating that the cover 200 has completely covered the first opening 310 or has completely exposed the first opening 310, and there is no need to slide the cover 200 anymore.

[0126] Furthermore, since the limiting protrusion 121 and the first groove 221 are engaged, the force required to continue sliding the cover 200 must be slightly greater than the force required to slide the cover 200 normally. Therefore, the limiting protrusion 121 and the first groove 221 prevent the user from accidentally sliding the cover 200 to expose the second opening 110 when the camera 400 needs to be covered, thereby further improving the security of user privacy; or, it can prevent the user from accidentally sliding the cover 200 to block the second opening 110 when the camera 400 needs to be exposed, thus preventing any impact on the normal use of the camera 400.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, the sliding rib 220 is provided with two first grooves 221, which are spaced apart in the sliding direction of the cover 200; the inner wall of the first sliding groove 120 is provided with two limiting protrusions 121, which are spaced apart in the sliding direction of the cover 200; the two limiting protrusions 121 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two first grooves 221; the limiting protrusions 121 can be engaged into the corresponding first groove 221 to restrict the cover 200 from continuing to slide away from the other limiting protrusion 121.

[0128] In this embodiment, the sliding rib 220 slides in the first sliding groove 120. When the cover 200 completely exposes the first opening 310, a limiting protrusion 121 away from the first opening 310 can be engaged in the first groove 221 away from the first opening 310, thereby restricting the cover 200 from continuing to slide away from the first opening 310 after it has completely exposed the first opening 310; or, when the cover 200 completely covers the first opening 310, a limiting protrusion 121 near the first opening 310 can be engaged in the first groove 221 away from the first opening 310. The limiting protrusion 121 can be engaged with the first groove 221 near the first opening 310, thereby restricting the cover 200 from continuing to slide after it has completely covered the first opening 310. The first groove 221 and the limiting protrusion 121 are both set as two, which together restrict the opening and closing position of the cover 200 and restrict the cover 200 from continuing to move in two directions, thereby reducing the meaningless sliding stroke of the cover 200 and making the cover 200 more accurately cover the first opening 310.

[0129] In some embodiments, two first grooves 221 are disposed on the sliding rib 220 at the top of the cover 200, and correspondingly, two limiting protrusions 121 are also disposed on the inner wall of the top of the first sliding groove 120. The shape of the first groove 221 can be an arc-shaped groove, and the limiting protrusion 121 can be an arc-shaped protrusion. The snap-fit ​​engagement of the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped protrusion allows the user to apply only slightly greater force than the force applied when sliding the cover 200 normally, either when the limiting protrusion 121 is snapped into the first groove 221 or when the cover 200 is slid out of the first groove 221. This makes it easier for the user to use the cover.

[0130] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the support member 300 for the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 20 A schematic diagram of the support member 300 for the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2The support member 300 includes a first mounting groove 340, which is located on the outer side of the support member 300 and recessed inward; the outer side of the support member 300 is the side of the support member 300 away from the camera 400; the first opening 310 is located within the first mounting groove 340; as Figures 21 to 23 As shown, Figure 21 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the support member 300 and the first lens 500 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 22 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the support member 300 and the first lens 500 of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 23 for Figure 21 The side view shows that the camera assembly also includes: a first lens 500; the first lens 500 is fixedly disposed in the first mounting groove 340 and covers the first opening 310.

[0131] When the first lens 500 covers the first opening 310 and the cover 200 slides to expose the camera 400 to the first opening 310 and the second opening 110, the first lens 500 can prevent dust or moisture from entering the inside of the support 300 through the first opening 310, thereby preventing dust or moisture from entering the camera 400 and protecting the camera 400.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first lens 500 can be adhesively attached to the first mounting groove 340.

[0133] In some embodiments, the front frame 100 and the support member 300 can be connected via a snap fastener 140 and a slot 330, such as Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, the front frame 100 is provided with buckles 140 at the top and bottom respectively; the support member 300 is provided with a slot 330, the slot 330 and the buckle 140 are positioned corresponding to each other, and the slot 330 and the corresponding buckle 140 are engaged and fixed to fix the front frame 100 and the support member 300 to ensure the stability of the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300.

[0134] Specifically, such as Figure 17 and Figure 19As shown, the buckle 140 includes a first engaging portion 141 and a second engaging portion 142; two buckles 140 are provided at the top of the front frame 100, and two slots 330 are provided at the top of the support member 300; the first engaging portion 141 of the buckle 140 at the top of the front frame 100 extends from the top of the front frame 100 toward the inner side of the front frame 100, and the second engaging portion 142 extends from the end of the first engaging portion 141 away from the top of the front frame 100 toward the bottom of the front frame 100. The slots 330 at the top of the support member 300 are recessed from the top of the support member 300 toward the bottom of the support member 300. The bottom surface of the first snap-fit ​​part 141 abuts against the bottom of the slot 330, and the side of the second snap-fit ​​part 142 near the outer side of the front frame 100 abuts against the side of the bottom of the slot near the inner side of the support member 300, so as to realize the snap-fit ​​engagement between the buckle 140 and the slot 330, thereby fixing the front frame 100 and the support member 300 together.

[0135] The bottom end of the front frame 100 is provided with two buckles 140, and the bottom end of the support member 300 is provided with two slots 330. The first engaging portion 141 of the buckle 140 at the bottom end of the front frame 100 extends from the bottom end of the front frame 100 toward the inner side of the front frame 100, and the second engaging portion 142 extends from the end of the first engaging portion 141 away from the bottom end of the front frame 100 toward the top end of the front frame 100. The slot 330 at the bottom and top end of the support member 300 is recessed from the bottom end of the support member 300 toward the top end of the support member 300. The top surface of the first engaging portion 141 abuts against the bottom of the slot 330, and the side of the second engaging portion 142 near the outer side of the front frame 100 abuts against the side of the bottom of the slot near the inner side of the support member 300, so as to realize the engaging engagement of the buckle 140 and the slot 330, thereby fixing the front frame 100 and the support member 300 together.

[0136] like Figure 17 As shown, a first positioning post 130 is provided on the inner side of the front frame 100; as Figure 19 As shown, the support member 300 is provided with a first positioning hole 320, the first positioning hole 320 corresponds to the position of the first positioning post 130, and the first positioning post 130 is inserted into the first positioning hole 320.

[0137] The front frame 100 and the support member 300 are positioned by the first positioning post 130 and the first positioning hole 320 to ensure the accuracy of the front frame 100 and the support member 300 during installation.

[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figures 24 to 27 As shown, Figure 24 This is an inner view of the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 25 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 4 , Figure 26This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 5 , Figure 27 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100 and the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 6 A fourth positioning post 307 is provided on the inner side of the support member 300 at a position corresponding to the first positioning hole 320. The first positioning hole 320 passes through the fourth positioning post 307 along its length direction. That is, the first positioning hole 320 connects the outer side of the support member 300 and the side of the fourth positioning post 307 near the camera 400, so that the first positioning post 130 can be fully inserted into the first positioning hole 320, further ensuring the accuracy of the front frame 100 and the support member 300 during installation.

[0139] The dashed line indicates the relative position of the camera 400 on the first opening 310 of the support member 300.

[0140] In some embodiments, the front frame 100 and the support 300 can be connected by a snap 140, a slot 330, and a screw.

[0141] Specifically, such as Figure 17 and Figure 24 As shown, a fifth connecting hole 131 is provided on the first positioning post 130 on the inner side of the front frame 100. The screw fixes the fifth connecting hole 131 and the first positioning hole 320. In this way, while the front frame 100 and the support member 300 are fixedly connected by the buckle 140 and the slot 330, the front frame 100 and the support member 300 can also be further fixedly connected by the screw, thereby improving the connection stability of the front frame 100 and the support member 300.

[0142] like Figure 5 and Figure 28 As shown, Figure 28 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the camera assembly and the outer frame 600 in the first embodiment of this application. The camera assembly is disposed on the outer frame 600 of the electronic device. The outer frame 600 has a third opening 610 at the position corresponding to the first opening 310. The camera 400 is exposed in sequence to the first opening 310 on the support member 300, the second opening 110 of the front frame 100 of the camera assembly and the third opening 610 of the outer frame 600, so that the camera 400 can capture the external image of the electronic device.

[0143] In some embodiments, when the electronic device is a conference all-in-one machine, the outer frame 600 is the front frame of the conference all-in-one machine.

[0144] like Figure 5 and Figure 18As shown, the front frame 100 of the camera assembly is provided with a central protrusion 150 and an edge recess 160; the central protrusion 150 is disposed within the third opening 610; the edge recess 160 abuts against the inner side of the outer frame 600; so that the outer side of the front frame 100 and the outer side of the outer frame 600 of the electronic device are on the same plane.

[0145] Specifically, the inner side of the outer frame 600 refers to the side of the outer frame 600 facing the camera 400.

[0146] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 18 As shown, the middle protrusion 150, viewed from the outside of the front frame 100, is a racetrack-shaped protrusion structure that is smaller than the overall shape of the front frame 100. During assembly, it serves as a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the outer frame 600 and remains on the same plane as the outside of the front frame 100.

[0147] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, Figure 29 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the adapter 360 and the support 300 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 30 A schematic diagram of the support member 300 for the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 3 The inner side of the support member 300 is provided with two fixing ribs 350; the inner side of the support member 300 is the side of the support member 300 facing the camera 400; in the sliding direction of the cover 200, a connector 360 is provided on each side of the support member 300; each connector 360 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 600 and abuts against the side of a fixing rib 350 facing the camera 400 to press the camera assembly as a whole onto the outer frame 600.

[0148] Specifically, each adapter 360 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 600 by screws. For example... Figure 28 As shown, each adapter 360 has a clamping arm 361 extending from one end toward the support 300, and the clamping arm 361 presses against the fixing rib 350 of the support 300.

[0149] In some embodiments, each adapter 360 may be fixedly connected to the outer frame 600 by welding or bonding.

[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27 and Figure 30 As shown, the inner side of the support member 300 is provided with multiple horizontal ribs 308 and vertical ribs 309, which are arranged in a crisscross pattern to improve the strength of the support member. Figure 27As shown, in the direction where the two slots 330 at the top of the support member 300 are spaced apart, at the intersection of one of the horizontal ribs 308 and the vertical rib 309 at each end of the inner side of the support member 300, a fixed rib 350 is formed by protruding from the other horizontal ribs 308 and the vertical rib 309.

[0151] In some embodiments, adapter 360 is a microphone array adapter. In electronic devices, such as conference all-in-one machines, the microphone array adapter can connect the microphone array board to the display device to realize functions such as sound source localization and voice acquisition.

[0152] like Figure 27 , Figures 31 to 35 As shown, Figure 31 for Figure 30 Side view, Figure 32 This is an inner view of the camera assembly after the front frame 100 and the support member 300 are connected according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 33 for Figure 32 Side view, Figure 34 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100, the cover 200, the support member 300, and the camera 400 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 35 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the front frame 100, the cover 200, the support member 300, and the camera 400 of the camera assembly according to the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The inner side of the support member 300 is provided with a connecting post 303 and a third positioning post 304; the connecting post 303 has a third connecting hole 305, and the third positioning post 304 has a third positioning hole 306; the camera 400 is provided with a second connecting plate 410; the second connecting plate 410 is provided with a positioning protrusion 411 and a fourth connecting hole 412, the positioning protrusion 411 corresponds to the position of the third positioning hole 306, the fourth connecting hole 412 corresponds to the position of the third connecting hole 305, the positioning protrusion 411 is inserted into the third positioning hole 306, and the fourth connecting hole 412 and the third connecting hole 305 are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0153] The support 300 and the camera 400 are positioned by the third positioning hole 306 and the positioning protrusion 411 to ensure the accuracy of the support 300 and the camera 400 during installation.

[0154] The fourth connecting hole 412 is fixedly connected to the third connecting hole 305 by fasteners to securely connect the support member 300 and the camera 400. The camera 400 is assembled inside the support member 300 to form an integral camera assembly.

[0155] In some embodiments, the fastener may be a screw, i.e., the fourth connecting hole 412 and the third connecting hole 305 are fixedly connected by a screw.

[0156] In some embodiments, such as Figure 34 and Figure 35 As shown, the camera 400 is also connected to a flexible circuit board 420. One end of the flexible circuit board 420 is connected to the main board of the camera 400 (not shown in the figure), and the other end can be connected to the controller of the electronic device (not shown in the figure) so that the controller of the electronic device can control the camera 400 to capture images.

[0157] The assembly steps of the camera assembly in the first embodiment of this application are as follows: First, the cover 200 is installed into the second opening 110 and the first slide groove 120. Then, the first lens 500 is glued to the first mounting groove 340 of the support member 300 with adhesive. After that, the front frame 100 and the support member 300 are fixedly connected. The outer side of the cover 200 and the outer side of the front frame 100 are on the same plane. Finally, the camera 400 is fixed to the inner side of the support member 300 to form an integral camera assembly.

[0158] The difference between the camera assembly of the second embodiment of this application and the camera assembly of the first embodiment is that, when the camera assembly is installed on an electronic device, the front frame 100 of the camera assembly can serve as the outer frame of the electronic device, eliminating the need for a separate outer frame. The structures of the front frame 100, the cover 200, and the support member 300 of the camera assembly of the second embodiment of this application differ from those of the first embodiment. The specific solutions are as follows:

[0159] In the second embodiment of this application, as Figures 36 to 39 As shown, Figure 36 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 37 Explosion of camera assembly as a second embodiment of this application Figure 1 , Figure 38 Explosion of camera assembly as a second embodiment of this application Figure 2 , Figure 39 Explosion of camera assembly as a second embodiment of this application Figure 3 The front frame 100 is the outer frame of the electronic device; the inner side of the front frame 100 is provided with a second slide groove 170; the second slide groove 170 surrounds the second opening 110; the cover 200 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 170 to cover or expose the second opening 110.

[0160] In this embodiment, the front frame 100 of the camera assembly serves as the outer frame of the electronic device, eliminating the need for a separate outer frame, thus saving materials and reducing manufacturing costs. This embodiment solves the problem of the camera 400 of the electronic device being unable to be physically shielded by changing the structure of the front frame 100 and providing a cover 200.

[0161] like Figure 40 As shown, Figure 40 This is a schematic diagram of the camera 400 of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application when it is obstructed. When the obstruction cover 200 is positioned to obstruct the second opening 110, the camera 400 is blocked by the obstruction cover 200 and cannot capture external images through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110, thereby achieving physical obstruction of the camera 400 and improving the security of user privacy. Figure 41 As shown, Figure 41 This is a schematic diagram of the camera 400 of the camera assembly in the second embodiment of this application when the cover 200 is in a position that exposes the second opening 110. The camera 400 is exposed to the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. At this time, the camera 400 is not blocked and can take pictures through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. That is to say, in this embodiment, the camera 400 can be blocked by completely blocking the second opening 110, or the camera 400 can be exposed by completely exposing the second opening 110.

[0162] In some embodiments, such as Figure 38 As shown, the second opening 110 is a rectangular opening, the first opening 310 is a rectangular opening, the second slide 170 is a rectangular slide, and correspondingly, the cover 200 can also be a rectangular cover.

[0163] The first opening 310 and the second opening 110 can also be openings of other shapes; the cover 200 can also be of other shapes, as long as it can cover the second opening 110. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0164] In some embodiments, the front frame 100 may be formed by machining profiles using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine.

[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figures 36 to 38 As shown, the camera assembly also includes: a cover switch 700; a strip-shaped through hole 171 is provided on the top wall of the second slide groove 170; a connecting part 230 is formed at the top of the cover 200, the connecting part 230 extends out from the strip-shaped through hole 171 and is fixedly connected to the cover switch 700 located outside the front frame 100; the cover switch 700 slides along the strip-shaped through hole 171 to drive the cover 200 to slide in the second slide groove 170, and the user can drive the cover 200 to slide by moving the cover switch 700 outside the front frame 100, making the operation simpler.

[0166] In some embodiments, such as Figure 39As shown, the connecting part 230 includes a horizontal connecting part 231 and a vertical connecting part 232. One end of the horizontal connecting part 231 is connected to the top of the cover 200, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the vertical connecting part 232. The top of the vertical connecting part 232 is fixedly connected to the cover switch 700.

[0167] In some embodiments, the connecting part 230 and the cover switch 700 can be fixedly connected by screws or glued together.

[0168] like Figures 42 to 46 As shown, Figure 42 A schematic diagram of the front frame 100 of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 43 A schematic diagram of the front frame 100 of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 44 A schematic diagram of the front frame 100 of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 45 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the camera assembly cover 200 according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 46 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the camera assembly cover 200 according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The second slide groove 170 is provided with an installation clearance groove 172 so that a portion of the cover 200 is located in the installation clearance groove 172, allowing the connecting part 230 to exit the slotted through hole 171. In this case, the connecting part 230 is no longer blocked by the slotted through hole 171, thus allowing the cover 200 to be removed from the inside of the front frame 100. When the cover 200 is located in the second slide groove 170 and completely exits the installation clearance groove 172, the connecting part 230 can enter the slotted through hole 171, thereby installing the cover 200 on the front frame 100. The connecting part 230 is blocked by the slotted through hole 171, making it less likely for the cover 200 to detach from the front frame 100 when it is located in the second slide groove 170. As can be seen from the above, the existence of the installation clearance groove 172 makes the process of removing and installing the cover 200 from the front frame 100 simpler, thus making the maintenance and replacement of the cover 200 more convenient. The mounting clearance groove 172 is located on the bottom wall of the second slide groove 170 and is recessed downwards. When the cover 200 is a rectangular cover, the shape of the mounting clearance groove 172 can be a right-angle mounting clearance groove that is compatible with it.

[0169] In some embodiments, the shape of the mounting clearance groove 172 can be adapted to the shape of the cover 200. For example, when the cover 200 is a circular cover, the shape of the mounting clearance groove 172 can be an arc-shaped mounting clearance groove that matches it.

[0170] In some embodiments, such as Figure 43As shown, the front frame 100 is provided with multiple microphone array module sound output holes 103, which can be used as sound input channels for sound acquisition.

[0171] like Figure 47 As shown, Figure 47 This is a schematic diagram of the support member 300 of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. The support member 300 is located between the front frame 100 and the camera 400. The outer side of the support member 300 is provided with a vertical protrusion 370 and a horizontal protrusion 380. The vertical protrusion 370 is disposed in the second slide groove 170 and is located between the cover 200 and the side wall of the second slide groove 170 away from the connecting part 230. The horizontal protrusion 380 is located between the bottom wall of the mounting clearance groove 172 and the cover 200, and together with the vertical protrusion 370, restricts the cover 200 from entering the mounting clearance groove 172, preventing the cover 200 from accidentally entering the mounting clearance groove 172 and affecting the normal operation of the cover 200.

[0172] like Figure 46 and Figure 47 As shown, the front frame 100 has a second positioning hole 180 on its inner side; the support member 300 has a second positioning post 390 on its outer side, and the second positioning post 390 is inserted into the second positioning hole 180.

[0173] The front frame 100 and the support member 300 are positioned by the second positioning hole 180 and the second positioning post 390 to ensure the accuracy of the front frame 100 and the support member 300 during installation.

[0174] In some embodiments, the second positioning hole 180 of the front frame 100 is a blind hole, that is, the second positioning hole 180 does not connect the inner and outer sides of the front frame 100, and the second positioning hole 180 cannot be seen from the outer side of the front frame 100, making the front frame 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0175] like Figures 46 to 49 As shown, Figure 48 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 49 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the camera assembly according to the second embodiment of this application. Figure 3 In the sliding direction of the cover 200, a first connecting plate 301 is formed on each side of the support member 300, and a first connecting hole 302 is provided on the first connecting plate 301; a second connecting hole 101 is provided at the position corresponding to the first connecting hole 302 on the front frame 100; the second connecting hole 101 and the first connecting hole 302 are fixedly connected by fasteners to fix the support member 300 to the front frame 100.

[0176] Specifically, such as Figure 44 and Figure 45As shown, the front frame body 104 of the front frame 100 has a first extension 105 extending inward toward the front frame 100, and the end of the first extension 105 extends into a second extension 106 toward the top of the front frame 100. A second connecting hole 101 is provided on the second extension 106 of the front frame 100. This design ensures that the second connecting hole 101, required for fixing the support member 300 to the front frame 100, avoids the front frame body 104, preventing the second connecting hole 101 from penetrating the front frame body 104. The user cannot see the second connecting hole 101 from the outside of the front frame 100, thus making the camera assembly more aesthetically pleasing.

[0177] In some embodiments, the fastener may be a screw, that is, the second connecting hole 101 and the first connecting hole 302 are fixedly connected by a screw.

[0178] The fixing method of the camera 400 and the support member 300 in the camera assembly of the second embodiment of this application is the same as the fixing method of the camera 400 and the support member 300 in the camera assembly of the first embodiment of this application, and will not be described again here.

[0179] In some embodiments, such as Figure 48 As shown, in the second embodiment of this application, the camera 400 of the camera assembly is also connected to a flexible circuit board 420. One end of the flexible circuit board 420 is connected to the motherboard (not shown in the figure) of the camera 400, and the other end can be connected to the controller (not shown in the figure) of the electronic device so that the controller of the electronic device can control the camera 400 to capture images.

[0180] like Figure 37 As shown, the front frame 100 includes a second mounting groove 102, which is located on the outside of the front frame 100 and recessed inward; a second opening 110 is located within the second mounting groove 102; the camera assembly also includes a second lens 800; the second lens 800 is fixedly disposed within the second mounting groove 102 and covers the second opening 110.

[0181] When the second lens 800 covers the second opening 110 and the cover 200 slides to expose the camera 400 to the first opening 310 and the second opening 110, the second lens 800 can prevent dust or moisture from entering the inside of the front frame 100 through the second opening 110, thereby preventing dust or moisture from intruding into the camera 400 and protecting the camera 400.

[0182] The assembly steps of the camera assembly in the second embodiment of this application are as follows: First, place the cover 200 in the second slide groove 170 and the mounting clearance groove 172. Then, rotate the cover 200 until it leaves the mounting clearance groove 172, so that the connecting part 230 of the cover 200 can be inserted into the strip-shaped through hole 171 and connected to the cover switch 700. Next, align and position the support member 300 with the front frame 100. At this time, the vertical protrusion 370 and the horizontal protrusion 380 of the support member 300 will limit the cover 200, preventing it from sliding backward into the mounting clearance groove 172. Finally, fasten the support member 300 to the front frame 100 with screws, and then fasten the camera 400 to the support member 300 with screws. The camera assembly is then installed. This solution is relatively simple and does not require changing the profile of the conference all-in-one machine. The conference all-in-one machine can achieve the function of physical camera shielding by directly designing the front frame profile.

[0183] This application also provides an electronic device including the camera component from any of the above embodiments.

[0184] The electronic device of this application embodiment includes the camera component in any of the above embodiments. When the cover 200 of the camera component is located in a position that exposes the first opening 310, the camera 400 is exposed to the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. At this time, the camera 400 is not blocked and can take pictures through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. When the cover 200 is located in a position that blocks the first opening 310, the camera 400 is blocked by the cover 200 and cannot take pictures of the outside scene through the first opening 310 and the second opening 110. This achieves physical shielding of the camera 400, improves the security of user privacy, and strengthens the protection of user privacy by the electronic device.
