Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present embodiment relates to a camera shutter structure. [Background technology]
[0002] In electronic devices equipped with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) such as a personal computer, a camera that captures an image of the outside of the housing (e.g., a user using the electronic device) is known. Some cameras can be switched between a state where the camera is exposed to the outside of the housing and a state where the camera is not exposed to the outside of the housing by a camera shutter structure arranged in the housing. A widely known camera shutter structure is one in which the camera lens is covered by sliding the camera shutter in the extension direction of the cover of the housing.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7299550 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] There are two types of camera units: a single-lens type in which only an RGB camera is mounted, and a twin-lens type in which an RGB camera and an IR camera are mounted. An LED that indicates the operating status of the camera is often mounted near the RGB camera. In the case of a single-lens type camera unit, the camera shutter structure is generally disposed on the side of the RGB camera where the LED is not mounted. On the other hand, in the case of a twin-lens type camera unit, the IR camera and LED are disposed adjacent to the RGB camera, making it difficult to mount the camera shutter structure near the RGB camera.
[0005] For this reason, when a camera shutter structure is implemented in a twin-lens camera unit, the knob for operating the camera shutter may be disposed at a position offset in the width direction of the cover relative to the RGB camera. In the case of this structure, there is a risk that the frame width of the cover will be larger than in a structure in which the knob is not disposed at a position offset in the width direction of the cover relative to the RGB camera.
[0006] An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a camera shutter structure that can be mounted on an electronic device without increasing the frame width of the cover. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] A camera shutter structure according to a first aspect of the present invention is disposed in an electronic device comprising a display unit, a frame body, a first camera, and a camera panel. The display unit has a display surface facing a first direction. The frame body has a front surface facing the first direction and a first imaging hole formed in the front surface, and surrounds the periphery of the display surface. The first camera is disposed in alignment with the first imaging hole inside the frame body, and the first direction is the imaging direction. The camera panel is attached to the front surface, formed in a substantially flat plate shape, and blocks the first imaging hole. The camera shutter structure comprises a hook and a light-shielding portion. The hook is located at a position corresponding to the camera panel and attached to the frame body. Fitting The light blocking part is rotatable about the hook as a rotation center on a plane intersecting the first direction between a first position that covers the first camera from the first direction and a second position that exposes the first camera.
[0008] In the camera shutter structure, the frame has a second imaging hole formed on the front surface. The electronic device includes a second camera that is arranged in alignment with the second imaging hole inside the frame and has an imaging direction in the first direction. The first camera is arranged between the rotation center and the second camera in the extension direction of the frame. The light shielding portion 1st position and When disposed in the second position, the light blocking portion does not cover the second camera from the first direction.
[0009] In the camera shutter structure, the electronic device includes a light source disposed in the frame and emitting light toward the outside of the frame. The center of rotation is disposed between the first camera and the light source in the extension direction of the frame. When the light shielding portion is disposed in the second position, the light shielding portion does not cover the light source from the first direction.
[0010] In the camera shutter structure, the light blocking portion has a protruding portion that protrudes to the outside of the frame. Effect of the Invention
[0011] According to the above-described aspects of the present invention, it is possible to provide a camera shutter structure that can be mounted on an electronic device without increasing the frame width of the cover. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a camera shutter structure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The configuration of the embodiment described below, and the actions and results (effects) brought about by said configuration are merely examples, and are not limited to the contents described below. Note that in this specification, ordinal numbers are used only to distinguish parts and components, and do not indicate order or priority.
[0014] First, the outline and structure of the electronic device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the electronic device 1 in which the camera shutter structure 16 of this embodiment is implemented.

The electronic device 1 is implemented with a function of capturing an image of the outside of the housing 10 using an installed RGB camera, and a function of performing face authentication using an IR camera.
[0015] In the following figures, for convenience, three mutually orthogonal directions are defined. The short side direction of the housing 10 is the X-axis direction, the long side direction of the housing 10 is the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the housing 10 is the Z-axis direction. The X-axis direction may also be referred to as the up-down direction. The Y-axis direction may also be referred to as the left-right direction. The Z-axis direction may also be referred to as the front-rear direction. Note that the expressions indicating directions such as front-rear, left-right, up-down, etc. in this embodiment are names for convenience, and do not limit the position, attitude, and usage mode of the housing 10. Also, the +Z direction is an example of a first direction.
[0016] The electronic device 1 includes a display device 11 having a display surface 11a facing the +Z direction, and a cover 12 surrounding the periphery of the display surface 11a.

The display device 11 is capable of displaying an image on the display surface 11a. The display surface 11a is exposed to the outside of the housing 10 through an opening 111. For example, a touch panel may be provided on the display surface 11a. In this case, the user can operate the display device 11 by performing a touch operation on the display surface 11a. The cover 12 is formed in a rectangular frame shape. The display device 11 is an example of a display unit. The cover 12 is an example of a frame body.
[0017] Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view of cover 12 at part F2 in Fig. 1 in electronic device 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, first imaging hole 122a, second imaging hole 122b, hook hole 122c, and recesses 122d1 and 122d2 are formed on front surface 122 of cover 12.
[0018] The first imaging hole 122a is a hole for allowing light traveling from the outside of the housing 10 toward the cover 12 to enter the inside of the cover 12. The first imaging hole 122a is formed in a substantially circular shape. The first imaging hole 122a is formed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The first imaging hole 122a penetrates the cover 12 in the Z-axis direction.
[0019] The second imaging hole 122b is a hole for allowing light traveling from the outside of the housing 10 toward the cover 12 to enter the inside of the cover 12. The second imaging hole 122b is formed in a substantially circular shape. The second imaging hole 122b is formed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The second imaging hole 122b penetrates the cover 12 in the Z-axis direction.
[0020] The hook hole 122c is a hole for arranging a hook 1712, which will be described later, in the cover 12. The hook hole 122c is formed in a substantially circular shape. The hook hole 122c is formed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The hook hole 122c penetrates the cover 12 in the Z-axis direction.
[0021] First imaging hole 122a, second imaging hole 122b, and hook hole 122c are arranged in the Y-axis direction in the order of hook hole 122c, first imaging hole 122a, and second imaging hole 122b from the +Y direction. First imaging hole 122a and hook hole 122c are in communication with each other.
[0022] The recesses 122d1 and 122d2 correspond to the protrusions 1711c1 and 1711c2 of the light shielding plate 171, which will be described later. Fitting The recess 122d1 is recessed in the -Y direction on the -Y side of the first imaging hole 122a. The recess 122d2 is recessed in the +Y direction on the +Y side of the first imaging hole 122a. The recesses 122d1 and 122d2 are formed at positions aligned with the centers of the first imaging hole 122a and the second imaging hole 122b in the Y axis direction.
[0023] FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the F3 portion of FIG. 1 in the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the camera panel 13 is attached to the front surface 122 of the cover 12. The camera panel 13 is attached to the front surface 122, is formed in a substantially flat plate shape, and blocks the first imaging hole 122a. The camera panel 13 also covers a part of the front surface 122 including the first imaging hole 122a, the second imaging hole 122b, and the hook hole 122c from the +Z direction. The camera panel 13 extends in the Y-axis direction and is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape. The camera panel 13 is disposed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The camera panel 13 transmits light traveling from the outside to the inside of the housing 10. The camera panel 13 prevents dust and the like from entering the inside of the housing 10.
[0024] A camera unit (not shown) is disposed at a position inside the cover 12 corresponding to the camera panel 13. In the camera unit, an RGB camera 151, an IR camera 152, an LED 153, and a pair of microphones 154 are disposed facing the +Z direction. The RGB camera 151 is an example of a first camera. The IR camera 152 is an example of a second camera. Note that FIG. 3 illustrates only the positions where the RGB camera 151, the IR camera 152, the LED 153, and the pair of microphones 154 are disposed in the camera unit.
[0025] The RGB camera 151 is an optical device that captures an image in front of the housing 10 (+Z direction). The RGB camera 151 is disposed inside the cover 12 in alignment with the first imaging hole 122a, and the imaging direction is the +Z direction. The RGB camera 151 is disposed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The RGB camera 151 is fixed to the camera unit with the imaging direction of the RGB camera 151, i.e., the direction in which the lens 151a of the RGB camera 151 faces, facing the +Z direction.
[0026] The IR camera 152 is an optical device that captures an image of the front (+Z direction) of the housing 10 using infrared rays. The IR camera 152 is disposed inside the cover 12 in alignment with the second imaging hole 122b, and the imaging direction is the +Z direction. The IR camera 152 is disposed near the center of the cover 12 in the Y-axis direction. The IR camera 152 is fixed to the camera unit with the imaging direction of the IR camera 152, i.e., the direction in which the lens 152a of the IR camera 152 faces, facing the +Z direction.
[0027] The LED 153 is a light source that notifies the activation state of the RGB camera 151 by turning it on or off. The LED 153 is disposed on the cover 12, and emits light toward the outside of the cover 12. The LED 153 is mounted on the camera unit with the direction of the light emitted by the LED 153 facing the +Z direction, and is exposed on the front surface 122 of the cover 12. The LED 153 is an example of a light source.
[0028] The pair of microphones 154 pick up, for example, the voice of the user of the electronic device 1 toward the housing 10. The pair of microphones 154 are spaced apart from each other in the Y-axis direction. The microphone 154 is mounted on the camera unit with the direction in which the microphone 154 picks up sound being the +Z direction, and is exposed on the front surface 122 of the cover 12. On the front surface 122 of the cover 12, an RGB camera 151, an IR camera 152, and an LED 153 are disposed between the pair of microphones 154.
[0029] A light shielding plate 171 is disposed at a position corresponding to the camera panel 13. The light shielding plate 171 has a flat plate portion 1711 and a cover 12. Fitting The light shielding plate 171 is rotatable about the hook 1712 between a first position covering the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction and a second position exposing the RGB camera 151 on a plane intersecting the Z-axis direction. The hook 1712 (rotation center) is disposed between the RGB camera 151 (first imaging hole 122a) and the LED 153 in the extension direction (Y-axis direction) of the cover 12. Details of the hook 1712 will be described later.
[0030] The light blocking plate 171 is made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, so that the thinner portions of the light blocking plate 171 can be elastically deformed in response to an external force.
[0031] Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the light shielding plate 171 of the camera shutter structure 16 of this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 4, the flat plate portion 1711 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape extending in the Y-axis direction. The vicinity of the end of the flat plate portion 1711 in the -Y-axis direction is formed in a substantially circular shape.
[0032] The flat plate portion 1711 has a knob 1711a, a pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2, and protrusions 1711c1 and 1711c2. The knob 1711a is a portion that is operated when a user of the electronic device 1 rotates the light shielding plate 171 between the first position 171P1 and the second position 171P2. The knob 1711a is formed in a semicircular arc shape at the end of the flat plate portion 1711 in the +Y axis direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the knob 1711a protrudes to the outside of the cover 12. More specifically, the knob 1711a protrudes in the +X direction with respect to the cover 12 from a gap between the front surface 122 of the cover 12 and the camera panel 13.
[0033] The pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2 are holes formed in the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711. The pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2 are formed at positions that are symmetrical with respect to the direction in which the flat plate portion 1711 extends. The pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2 are formed at positions spaced a certain distance from the outer circumferential surface of the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711 toward the center of the substantially circular portion. The pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2 are formed in a shape that follows the outer circumferential surface of the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711. The pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2 penetrate the flat plate portion 1711 in the Z-axis direction.
[0034] The convex portions 1711c1 and 1711c2 are connected to the concave portions 122d1 and 122d2. Fitting The protrusions 1711c1 and 1711c2 are formed on the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711. The protrusions 1711c1 and 1711c2 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711 at positions corresponding to the pair of holes 1711b1 and 1711b2, respectively. The protrusions 1711c1 and 1711c2 protrude radially outward from the center of the substantially circular portion of the flat plate portion 1711.
[0035] 5 is a perspective view showing the cover 12 and the light shielding plate 171 of the electronic device 1 of this embodiment as viewed from the F5 side of FIG. 3. The hook 1712 of the light shielding plate 171 is a part that serves as the center of rotation when the light shielding plate 171 rotates relative to the cover 12. The hook 1712 is located at a position corresponding to the camera panel 13. The hook 1712 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the Z-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the hook 1712 is fitted into the hook hole 122c of the cover 12 so as to be rotatable on the XY plane. Fitting and is fixed to the cover 12 in the Z-axis direction. The RGB camera 151 is disposed between the hook 1712 (center of rotation) and the IR camera 152 in the extension direction of the cover 12.
[0036] (Rotating the light shield) Next, the rotation of the light blocking plate 171 in the camera shutter structure 16 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a front view showing the rotation range of the light blocking plate 171. As shown by the arrow in Fig. 6, the light blocking plate 171 can rotate around the hook 1712 as the center of rotation between a first position 171P1 that covers the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction on a plane intersecting the Z-axis direction and a second position 171P2 that exposes the RGB camera 151.
[0037] When the light shielding plate 171 is located at the first position 171P1, the light shielding plate 171 covers the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction. Fitting This prevents the light blocking plate 171 from rotating around the hook 1712 when the light blocking plate 171 is located at the first position 171P1.
[0038] When the light shielding plate 171 is located at the first position 171P1 and the user of the electronic device 1 rotates the light shielding plate 171 to the second position 171P2 to use the RGB camera 151, the user of the electronic device 1 pushes the knob 1711a in the -Y direction. Then, a force acts on the light shielding plate 171 to rotate it clockwise around the hook 1712. At this time, the recess 122d1 and FittingThe protrusion 1711c1, which is rotating, is pressed against the cover 12, and a force toward the hole 1711b1 acts on the protrusion 1711c1 as a reaction to the force. The protrusion 1711c1 then rotates in the clockwise direction while elastically deforming toward the hole 1711b1. In this manner, the light shielding plate 171 rotates from the first position 171P1 toward the second position 171P2. When the rotating light shielding plate 171 approaches the second position 171P2, the protrusion 1711c2 is pressed against the cover 12 and elastically deforms toward the hole 1711b2.
[0039] When the light shielding plate 171 rotates from the first position 171P1 to the second position 171P2 and reaches the second position 171P2, the elastically deformed convex portion 1711c2 releases the stress and becomes the concave portion 122d2. Fitting This prevents the light shielding plate 171 from rotating around the hook 1712. In this manner, the light shielding plate 171 rotates from the first position 171P1 to the second position 171P2, exposing the RGB camera 151. First position 171P1 and When the light shielding plate 171 is disposed at the second position 171P2, the light shielding plate 171 does not cover the IR camera 152 from the +Z direction. When the light shielding plate 171 is disposed at the second position 171P2, the light shielding plate 171 does not cover the LED 153 from the +Z direction. When the light shielding plate 171 rotates from the second position 171P2 to the first position 171P1 to cover the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction, the light shielding plate 171 rotates in the reverse order to the above-mentioned steps.
[0040] In the above embodiment, the camera shutter structure 16 is disposed in the electronic device 1 including the display device 11, the cover 12, the RGB camera 151, and the camera panel 13. The display device 11 has a display surface 11a facing the +Z direction. The cover 12 has a front surface 122 facing the +Z direction and a first imaging hole 122a formed in the front surface 122, and surrounds the periphery of the display surface 11a. The RGB camera 151 is disposed in alignment with the first imaging hole 122a inside the cover 12, and the imaging direction is the +Z direction. The camera panel 13 is attached to the front surface 122, formed in a substantially flat plate shape, and covers the first imaging hole 122a. The camera shutter structure 16 includes a hook 1712 and a light shielding plate 171. The hook 1712 is located at a position corresponding to the camera panel 13 and is attached to the cover 12. Fitting The light blocking plate 171 is rotatable about the hook 1712 on a plane intersecting the Z-axis direction between a first position 171P1 where the light blocking plate 171 covers the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction and a second position 171P2 where the RGB camera 151 is exposed.
[0041] In the above-mentioned configuration, the light shielding plate 171 is attached to the cover 12. Fitting The light shielding plate 171 has a hook 1712 which is rotatable about the hook 1712 between a first position 171P1 which covers the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction and a second position 171P2 which exposes the RGB camera 151. When the hook 1712 is located at the first position 171P1, the imaging direction of the RGB camera 151 is covered by the hook 1712. That is, the light shielding plate 171 has a function of a camera shutter.
[0042] The light shielding plate 171 is not fixed to the cover 12 because the portions other than the hook 1712 rotate relative to the cover 12. The hook 1712 is located at a position corresponding to the camera panel 13 attached to the cover, and is contained inside the cover 12. That is, even if the light shielding plate 171 protrudes from the camera panel 13 (cover 12) at a portion other than the hook 1712 that rotates relative to the cover 12, the light shielding plate 171 can rotate between the first position 171P1 and the second position 171P2 and cover the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction.
[0043] The electronic device 1 in this embodiment has a structure in which a portion of the light shielding plate 171 other than the hook 1712 protrudes from the camera panel 13 (cover 12). In other words, the frame width of the cover 12 is smaller than the width of the cover 12 including the rotation area of the light shielding plate 171. That is, the camera shutter structure 16 can be provided with the light shielding plate 171 without increasing the frame width of the cover 12, and can therefore be mounted on the electronic device 1 without increasing the frame width of the cover 12.
[0044] In this embodiment, the cover 12 has a second imaging hole 122b formed in the front surface 122. The electronic device 1 includes an IR camera 152 that is aligned with the second imaging hole 122b inside the cover 12 and captures images in the +Z direction. The RGB camera 151 is disposed between the rotation center (hook 1712) and the IR camera 152 in the extension direction of the cover 12. The light shielding plate 171 is First position 171P1 and When disposed at the second position 171P2, the light blocking plate 171 does not cover the IR camera 152 from the +Z direction.
[0045] In general, when an RGB camera and an IR camera are mounted on an electronic device, the RGB camera and the IR camera are arranged adjacent to each other in the extending direction of the cover. Therefore, when the light shielding plate 171 is mounted on the electronic device 1 in this embodiment, The light shielding plate 171 covers the RGB camera 151 at a first position 171P1 and When the light shielding plate 171 is located at the second position 171P2 exposing the RGB camera 151, there is a risk that the IR camera 152 will be covered by the light shielding plate 171 from the +Z direction. Meanwhile, in the electronic device 1 of this embodiment, the RGB camera 151 is disposed between the rotation center of the light shielding plate 171 and the IR camera 152 in the extension direction of the cover 12. First position 171P1 and At the second position 171P2, the light shielding plate 171 does not cover the IR camera 152 from the +Z direction. Therefore, the IR camera 152 can be mounted on the electronic device 1 without being interfered with by the light shielding plate 171.
[0046] Moreover, in this embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes an LED 153 that is disposed in the cover 12 and emits light toward the outside of the cover 12. The rotation center (hook 1712) is disposed between the RGB camera 151 and the LED 153 in the extension direction of the cover 12. When the light shielding plate 171 is disposed at the second position 171P2, the light shielding plate 171 does not cover the LED 153 from the +Z direction.
[0047] In general, when an RGB camera, an IR camera, and an LED are mounted on an electronic device, the camera shutter section and the LED are disposed adjacent to the RGB camera on the opposite side of the IR camera. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the light shielding plate 171 is located at the second position 171P2, there is a risk that the LED 153 is covered by the light shielding plate 171 from the +Z direction. On the other hand, in the electronic device 1 of this embodiment, the rotation center (hook 1712) of the light shielding plate 171 is disposed between the RGB camera 151 and the LED 153 in the extension direction of the cover 12. Also, at the second position 171P2, the light shielding plate 171 does not cover the LED 153 from the +Z direction. Therefore, the LED 153 can be mounted on the electronic device 1 without being interfered with by the light shielding plate 171.
[0048] In this embodiment, the light blocking plate 171 has a knob 1711 a that protrudes to the outside of the cover 12 .
[0049] In the above-described configuration, the light shielding plate 171 has a knob 1711a that protrudes to the outside of the cover 12. In addition, since the light shielding plate 171 rotates around the hook 1712 as the center of rotation, the portion other than the hook 1712, including the knob 1711a, is not fixed to the cover 12. With this structure, the user of the electronic device 1 can easily switch the position of the light shielding plate 171 between a first position 171P1 that covers the RGB camera 151 from the +Z direction and a second position 171P2 that exposes the RGB camera 151, by operating the knob 1711a of the light shielding plate 171 to rotate the light shielding plate 171.
