Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photographic equipment, and in particular to a camera lens hood and a camera. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photography and related visual aids, lens hoods are essential accessories for enhancing the shooting experience. Currently, mainstream lens hoods on the market have significant design limitations, supporting only horizontal shooting mode. In horizontal shooting mode, existing lens hoods can conform well to the outer contour of the eye, providing a relatively comfortable wearing experience and effectively blocking external light interference, ensuring focus and stability during the shooting process. However, with the increasing diversity of photographic scenarios and the continuous evolution of shooting needs, vertical shooting mode is becoming increasingly common in many scenarios, such as shooting vertically composed portraits or tall buildings.

[0003] Existing lens hoods cannot fit snugly against the outer contour of the eyes when shooting vertically, causing a large amount of light to leak in. This not only interferes with the photographer's vision and affects image quality, but also causes eye discomfort. To reduce light exposure, photographers often need to tilt their heads to shoot. Maintaining this posture for a long time can easily lead to neck muscle fatigue and soreness, seriously affecting the shooting experience and physical health. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a camera lens hood 100, comprising: The base 110 has a side for connecting the viewfinder 210 of the camera 200. Knob 120 is rotatably connected to the other side of base 110; The eye mask 130 is located on the side of the knob 120 facing away from the base 110. The eye mask 130 includes two opposing convex side wings 131 and a concave side wing 132 located between the two convex side wings 131. The convex side wings 131 and the concave side wings 132 are adapted to the contour of the human eye.

[0023] In this embodiment, the camera lens hood 100 includes a base 110, a knob 120, and an eyepiece 130. The base 110 securely mounts the camera lens hood 100 onto the viewfinder 210 of the camera 200, providing basic support for the entire lens hood 100. The knob 120 is mounted on the end of the base 110 facing away from the viewfinder 210 and connects the eyepiece 130 to the base 110. The eyepiece 130 is mounted on the end of the knob 120 facing away from the base 110 and conforms to the user's eye contour. During shooting with the camera 200, when the user observes the scene through the viewfinder 210, the camera lens hood 100 effectively blocks light, reducing interference from stray light and helping the user capture better photos and improve image quality.

[0024] It should be noted that by rotating the knob 120 on the base 110, the knob 120 causes the eye mask 130 on it to rotate together. Whether the camera 200 needs to be shot vertically or horizontally, the eye mask 130 can rotate with the knob 120 to fit the angle of the user's eyes, so that the camera lens hood 100 proposed in this application can be used for both horizontal and vertical shooting modes.

[0025] Specifically, the traditional eye mask 130 has side wings that are uneven in height, allowing it to fit only the left or right eye. Furthermore, the eye mask 130 cannot rotate, typically only suitable for the horizontal shooting mode of the camera 200. If the user needs to shoot vertically with the camera 200, they must tilt their head, leading to neck pain and health problems after prolonged use. The eye mask 130 of this application includes two convex side wings 131 and two concave side wings 132. The two convex side wings 131 are of equal height and symmetrically arranged. The two concave side wings 132 are also of equal height and symmetrically arranged, with the concave side wings 132 being lower than the convex side wings 131. The two convex side wings 131 are used to fit the two corners of the user's eyes, while the two concave side wings 132 are used to fit the upper and lower eyelids of the user's eyes.

[0026] This allows the eyecup 130 to fit either the left or right eye simultaneously. Regardless of which eye the user prefers to use to observe the scene, the eyecup 130 will conform to the outer contour of the eye, ensuring its light-blocking effect and maintaining image quality. Furthermore, the knob 120 allows the eyecup 130 to rotate, enabling it to fit the outer contour of the eye even when the user is shooting vertically with the camera 200. This eliminates the need to tilt the head while shooting, preventing eye discomfort and excessive light exposure caused by the eyecup not fitting properly, further optimizing the user's shooting experience.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 110 is provided with a first mounting groove 111 for connecting the knob 120 on its periphery, and a buckle 121 is provided at one end of the knob 120 facing the base 110. The buckle 121 can engage or disengage with the first mounting groove 111 to movably mount the knob 120 to the base 110.

[0028] In some embodiments, an elastic element 140 is also included, which is annular and is received in the first mounting groove 111.

[0029] In this embodiment, an annular elastic member 140 is also provided on the side wall of the base 110. The elastic member 140 is sleeved on the side wall of the base 110, and a first mounting groove 111 is provided on the side wall of the base 110. The elastic member 140 is embedded in the first mounting groove 111. The shape of the first mounting groove 111 is approximately a partially cut circle. During the process of installing the base 110 to the viewfinder 210 of the camera 200, because the elastic member 140 is embedded in the first mounting groove 111 with an interference fit, at the cut position of the circle, the annular elastic member 140 will contract inward under the action of the rebound force, thereby tightly clamping the connection between the viewfinder 210 and the base 110, and thus firmly installing the base 110 on the viewfinder 210 of the camera 200.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a first protrusion 141 is provided on the inner side of the elastic member 140, and an avoidance hole 112 is provided in the first mounting groove 111 for the first protrusion 141 to pass through. The first protrusion 141 can engage with the viewfinder 210 to connect the base 110 and the viewfinder 210.

[0031] In this embodiment, two first protrusions 141 are also provided on the inner side of the elastic member 140. These two first protrusions 141 are symmetrically arranged. A clearance hole 112 is provided in the first mounting groove 111 for the first protrusions 141 to pass through. A second mounting hole matching the first protrusions 141 is provided at the connection between the viewfinder 210 and the base 110. When it is necessary to install the camera lens hood 100 onto the viewfinder 210, simply put the base 110 on the viewfinder 210 and press it towards the viewfinder 210 until both first protrusions 141 are embedded in the second mounting hole of the viewfinder 210, and the installation is completed. Specifically, the elastic member 140 can be a silicone ring, and the first protrusions 141, as a component of the silicone ring, also have elastic properties. This design not only ensures the stability of the installation, but also effectively avoids scratching the camera 200 during the assembly process.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the end of the latch 121 near the base 110 is provided with an inwardly extending flange that abuts against the elastic element 140 to provide resistance when the knob 120 is rotated.

[0033] In this embodiment, the knob 120 is covered on the end of the base 110 facing away from the viewfinder 210, and a latch 121 is provided at the end of the knob 120 near the base 110. When the knob 120 is installed on the base 110, the latch 121 on the knob 120 will precisely engage with the first mounting groove 111 on the base 110. Through the cooperative cooperation between the latch 121 and the first mounting groove 111, the knob 120 and the base 110 can rotate relative to each other and are not easily detached, so that the knob 120 can rotate relative to the base 110 while being securely installed on the base 110. Specifically, an inwardly extending flange is designed at the part where the latch 121 contacts the first mounting groove 111. This flange will be embedded in the first mounting groove 111, and the flange of the latch 121 will abut against the annular elastic member 140. In actual use, when the knob 120 rotates relative to the base 110, the contact between the flange and the elastic element 140 will generate a certain resistance. This resistance can prevent the knob 120 from rotating unexpectedly, thereby ensuring that the knob 120 can be accurately rotated to the position required by the user, so that the eye mask 130 can be rotated to a position that fits the outer contour of the user's eyes.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the side of the knob 120 that contacts the base 110 is provided with a plurality of grooves 122, and the side of the base 110 that contacts the knob 120 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 113 that match the grooves 122.

[0035] In this embodiment, the end of the knob 120 facing away from the eye mask 130 has a first contact surface, and the end of the base 110 near the knob 120 has a second contact surface. When the knob 120 is installed on the base 110, the first and second contact surfaces will fit together. It should be noted that multiple grooves 122 are provided on the first contact surface of the knob 120, while multiple protrusions 113, whose dimensions are adapted to these grooves 122, are provided on the second contact surface of the base 110. When the user rotates the knob 120, these grooves 122 and protrusions 113 cooperate to provide a tactile feedback during rotation. Specifically, this tactile feedback provides the user with intuitive operational feedback. When the knob 120 is rotated, the changes in resistance and the sense of pause generated by the interaction between the protrusions 113 and the grooves 122 allow the user to clearly understand that the knob 120 is rotating and to what extent. This feedback mechanism is similar to the damping feel of a car steering wheel, not only giving users a greater sense of control when operating the knob 120, but also preventing operational errors or over-adjustment caused by blind rotation. Furthermore, since each protrusion 113 and groove 122 requires a certain amount of force to overcome, the knob 120 will not rotate unexpectedly even in the event of minor bumps or vibrations during daily use. This ensures that once the knob 120 is precisely adjusted to the appropriate position, that position remains stable, preventing any adverse effects on shooting results due to accidental rotation of the knob 120, thus improving the user experience.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the concave side wings 132 and the convex side wings 131 are made of soft rubber, the two concave side wings 132 are at the same height, the two convex side wings 131 are at the same height, and the height of the convex side wings 131 is greater than that of the concave side wings 132; the goggles 130 also includes a straight cylindrical portion located at one end of the concave side wings 132 and the convex side wings 131, which is made of hard rubber.

[0037] In some embodiments, the straight cylindrical portion is provided with an inwardly extending second protrusion 133, and the side wall of the knob 120 facing away from the base 110 is provided with a second mounting groove 123 that matches the size of the second protrusion 133. The second protrusion 133 engages with the second mounting groove 123 to connect the eye mask 130 to the knob 120.

[0038] In this embodiment, the eye mask 130 includes a straight cylindrical portion connected to the knob 120, two concave side wings 132, and two convex side wings 131. The two convex side wings 131 and two concave side wings 132 are alternately arranged, and both are made of soft rubber to conform to the user's outer eye contour. Specifically, the eye mask 130 includes two convex side wings 131 and two concave side wings 132. The two convex side wings 131 are of equal height and symmetrically arranged, as are the two concave side wings 132, which are also of equal height and symmetrically arranged, with the height of the concave side wings 132 being lower than that of the convex side wings 131. The two convex side wings 131 conform to the user's inner and outer corners of the eye, while the two concave side wings 132 conform to the user's upper and lower eyelids, allowing the eye mask to conform to the outer contour of the user's left or right eye and prevent external light from entering the eye mask 130 and causing interference.

[0039] The inner side of the straight cylindrical portion is provided with two inwardly extending second protrusions 133. Simultaneously, a second mounting groove 123 is correspondingly provided on the side wall of the knob 120 opposite to the base 110, and the number and size of the second mounting grooves 123 are consistent with the number and size of the second protrusions 133. When the goggles 130 are installed on the knob 120, the second protrusions 133 of the straight cylindrical portion are embedded in the second mounting grooves 123 of the knob 120. The straight cylindrical portion is made of hard plastic to ensure that the goggles 130 are securely installed on the knob 120, preventing the goggles 130 from wobbling on the knob 120.

[0040] The camera 200 further proposed in this application includes a viewfinder 210 and the aforementioned camera hood 100. The specific structure of the camera hood 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the camera 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the technical effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The base 110 of the camera hood 100 is mounted on the viewfinder 210 of the camera 200.

[0041] In some embodiments, the viewfinder 210 and the camera hood 100 are provided with a third mounting groove for connecting with the first protrusion 141.

[0042] In this embodiment, the viewfinder 210 is connected to the base 110 of the camera lens hood 100. A third mounting groove is provided at the connection between the viewfinder 210 and the base 110. The elastic element 140 on the base 110 is provided with a first protrusion 141, and the size of the first protrusion 141 is adapted to the size of the third mounting groove. When the camera lens hood 100 is installed on the viewfinder 210, the first protrusion 141 is embedded in the third mounting groove, so that the base 110 is fixed on the viewfinder 210, preventing the base 110 from shaking relative to the viewfinder 210.

[0043] In practical use, if it is necessary to install the camera lens hood 100 onto the viewfinder 210, first place the base 110 of the camera lens hood 100 onto the viewfinder 210, and then press it towards the viewfinder 210 until both first protrusions 141 are embedded in the second mounting holes of the viewfinder 210, thus completing the installation. The camera 200 is assumed to be in its initial state as follows: Figure 6 Taking the horizontal shooting stance shown as an example, to switch to the horizontal shooting stance as shown... Figure 7 In the vertical shooting mode shown, after turning the camera 200 vertically, simply rotate the knob 120 90 degrees to rotate the eyecup 130 to the appropriate position for vertical shooting.

[0044] In summary, this application proposes a camera lens hood 100 and a camera 200, which are mounted on the viewfinder 210 via a base 110. An eyecup 130 is mounted on a knob 120 of the base 110. By rotating the knob 120, the eyecup 130 can be adapted to both horizontal and vertical shooting of the camera 200. The eyecup 130 is designed to fit both the left and right eyes simultaneously, ensuring that the eyecup 130 conforms to the user's dominant eye whether the camera 200 is shooting horizontally or vertically. This avoids eye discomfort and severe light exposure caused by the eyecup 130 not conforming to the eye, thereby improving shooting quality and optimizing the user experience.
