DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, can also be detachably connected or integrated; can be mechanically connected, can also be electrically connected; can be directly connected, can also be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the "upper" or "lower" of the first feature to the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or can include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the "upper", "above" and "on" of the first feature to the second feature include that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "below" and "below" of the first feature to the second feature include that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0025] In the intelligent interactive tablet such as conference tablet and teaching tablet, or in some intelligent terminal devices, the camera device is widely used, and the camera device is used for the function of taking photos and videos. For example, for the terminal device such as conference tablet which can be applied to office, real-time images are collected by using the camera device to realize remote video conference. For the terminal device such as teaching tablet, the camera device is used to collect images in the classroom, and based on the collected images, functions such as class attendance calculation can be realized by face recognition and other processing methods. However, for the terminal device applied to office, teaching, home and other places, since the camera of the camera device is directly exposed, and the terminal device is often in a networked state, there is a risk of privacy leakage when people use the terminal device. For example, for the conference tablet, when the user does not need to remotely connect for video conference, but only needs to use the conference tablet for report and display, if the user forgets to turn off the camera device at this time, it may cause personal privacy leakage and business secret leakage.

[0026] In the related art, in order to prevent privacy leakage, a software type peep-proof or a hardware type peep-proof scheme is generally adopted. The software type peep-proof scheme requires a user to perform a click operation, and the user may sometimes forget to turn off the camera through the software, and there is still a risk of privacy leakage. For the hardware type peep-proof scheme, in some technologies, a detachable shielding cover is directly configured in front of the camera module, but the shielding cover is easy to lose after being detached; in some other technologies, an electric shielding piece is configured in front of the camera, and when the camera is not used, the shielding piece is driven to move and shield in front of the camera module through a motor, thereby achieving peep-proofing. However, the motor needs to be connected to a power supply to work, and power supply to the motor increases the complexity of the circuit board design and the production manufacturing cost. Moreover, the motor is relatively large in size, low in space utilization, difficult to meet the fine requirements of the conference tablet or other intelligent terminals, and increases the cost of design, production manufacturing, debugging and later maintenance of the intelligent terminal.

[0027] The transmission through the gears and the driving of the cover relative to the camera assembly to move further increase the complexity of the structural design of the conference terminal. On this basis, the space in the conference terminal is small, and the degree of fine parts is high, so the meshing accuracy between the gears is high, and the production and manufacturing difficulty of the related parts of the conference terminal is increased, which indirectly increases the production cost of the conference terminal. Finally, the wear between the gears is also considered, which causes the loosening of the overall transmission structure and finally affects the user experience. At the same time, the driving parts such as teeth are usually arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring or on the side close to the inner wall of the rotating ring. When the driving parts are assembled between the parts, since the driving parts are not located at a position that can be easily contacted by workers, the above structure further increases the assembly difficulty. If the driving parts and the rotating ring are integrally formed, the production and processing difficulty is obviously increased. Therefore, the assembly efficiency is reduced and the assembly cost is increased.

[0028] In order to solve the problem of privacy leakage risk of the conference tablet and other intelligent terminals in the related art during application, please refer to FIGS. 1-31, the application provides a rotating peep-proof device applied to a camera. A user can rotate a rotating ring 20 by hand, so that a driving part 40 installed on the rotating ring 20 drives a peep-proof part 30 to move, thereby adjusting the peep-proof part 30 between a shielding state of covering a camera module 60 and an opening state of avoiding the camera module 60. When the camera is not needed, the camera is covered to protect privacy, and when the camera is needed, the camera is exposed. Moreover, the peep-proof part 30 does not need to be driven by a motor, and the user can manually rotate the rotating ring 20 to achieve peep-proofing, which is simple and convenient to operate. The user can visually observe the peep-proof part 30 to intuitively determine whether the camera is shielded, and the privacy protection effect is better.

[0029] The peep-proof device of the application has the advantages of simple structure, low requirement for installation precision of parts, low assembly difficulty, high assembly efficiency and low production cost while providing rotation peep-proof function.

[0030] It should be noted that the dashed lines in the drawings of the application are only used as auxiliary lines to facilitate understanding of the positional relationship between structures and the movement relationship between structures, and do not limit the structure of the application. The z-axis direction (including the z1 direction and the z2 direction) in the drawings is also only used as an illustration to clearly illustrate the positional relationship between structures, and does not limit the structure of the application.

[0031] Please refer to FIGS. 1-31, the structure of the peep-proof device and the camera device will be described below. The camera device includes a camera module 60 and a peep-proof device. The camera module 60 includes a lens and a lens seat, etc.

[0032] The peep-proof device includes a mounting assembly 10, a rotating ring 20, a peep-proof piece 30 and a driving piece 40.

[0033] The mounting assembly 10 includes a cover 11 and a shell 12 connected to each other. The rotating ring 20 is rotatably arranged between the shell 12 and the cover 11, and the inner wall of the cover 11, the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 and the inner wall of the shell 12 form a receiving cavity 101, and the peep-proof piece 30, the driving piece 40 and the camera module 60 are arranged in the receiving cavity 101. Among them, the shell 12 and the rotating ring 20 can be embedded, and the cover 11 and the rotating ring 20 can also be embedded.

[0034] The rotating ring 20 is rotatably mounted between the cover 11 and the shell 12, and the rotating ring 20 can rotate relative to the shell 12 and the cover 11 about the rotation axis, and the first axis 100 in the drawings shows the rotation axis of the rotating ring 20. The inner wall of the rotating ring 20 is the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 101, and in FIGS. 2, 7, 8 and 12, the first inner wall 211 is the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, and the mounting table 22 protrudes inwardly on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, that is, the mounting table 22 extends to the inside of the receiving cavity 101, and the mounting table 22 extends to the direction close to the first axis 100. Taking the case that the rotating ring 20 is arranged on the upper side of the shell 12 as an example, the edge of the rotating ring 20 in contact with the shell 12 is the lower edge, and the mounting table 22 is arranged close to the lower edge of the rotating ring 20.

[0035] The middle position of the cover body 11 is provided with an opening 1111, and the accommodating cavity 101 communicates with the outside of the peep-proof device through the opening 1111. The camera module 60 can shoot the image of the external environment through the opening 1111. The cover body 11 or the shell 12 is provided with a support 112, and the peep-proof piece 30 is installed on the support 112. The peep-proof piece 30 can rotate relative to the support 112, and the rotation axis of the peep-proof piece 30 is shown by the second axis 200 in the drawing. The peep-proof piece 30 is provided with a shielding part, which is used to open or shield the opening 1111 on the cover body 11, so as to expose or shield the camera module 60. In addition, part of the shielding part of the peep-proof piece 30 can pass through the opening 1111. The peep-proof piece 30 has an open state (as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 6, 19, 22, and 25) and a shielding state (as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 15, 16, 21, 23, and 28). When the peep-proof piece 30 is in the open state, the lens of the camera module 60 can shoot the image outside the shell 12 through the opening 1111. When the peep-proof piece 30 is in the shielding state, the lens of the camera module 60 is shielded by the peep-proof piece 30, and the image outside the shell 12 cannot be shot, thereby achieving peep-proof and privacy protection.

[0036] The mounting table 22 is used to provide a mounting position of the driving piece 40. The driving piece 40 is connected with the mounting table 22. The driving piece 40 is in transmission cooperation with the peep-proof piece 30, which means that the peep-proof piece 30 can be driven to move by the movement of the driving piece 40. The rotating ring 20 can rotate relative to the shell 12 and the cover body 11 under the action of force. When the rotating ring 20 rotates, the driving piece 40 can be driven to rotate by the mounting table 22. When the driving piece 40 rotates, the peep-proof piece 30 can be driven to rotate relative to the cover body 11 to the open state or the shielding state.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 16, 19, and 21, the rotation axis first axis 100 of the rotating ring 20 and the rotation axis second axis 200 of the peep-proof piece 30 are in angular cooperation. The angular cooperation between the first axis 100 and the second axis 200 can be at least the following cases: the first axis 100 and the second axis 200 are located in the same plane, and the first axis 100 and the second axis 200 are neither parallel nor coincident; or, the first axis 100 is located in the first plane, the second axis 200 is located in the second plane, and the projection line of the first axis 100 projected to the second plane is neither parallel nor coincident with the second axis 200. Exemplarily, the rotation axis first axis 100 of the rotating ring 20 extends along the front-rear direction of the peep-proof device, and the rotation axis second axis 200 of the peep-proof piece 30 extends along the left-right direction of the peep-proof device.

[0038] The peep-proof device of the present application has at least the following effects:

[0039] Firstly, the rotating ring 20 can be manually operated to achieve the privacy peep-proof requirement of the camera, which is simple to operate, convenient to use, and more reliable in privacy protection.

[0040] Secondly, the rotating ring 20 and the driving member 40 are manufactured as two parts respectively, without directly forming the driving member 40 on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, the structure design of the driving member 40 does not affect the manufacturing process of the rotating ring 20, and the difficulty of forming and processing the rotating ring 20 is reduced.

[0041] Thirdly, the mounting table 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, which facilitates the installation of the driving member 40 on the inner side of the rotating ring 20. The mounting table 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 close to the edge of the shell 12, and when the driving member 40 is installed, the operation space is larger, which reduces the installation difficulty of the driving member 40, improves the installation speed and accuracy of the driving member 40, facilitates the installation of the driving member 40 to the mounting table 22, and improves the assembly efficiency. Compared with the scheme that the driving member 40 is integrally formed on the rotating ring 20, the requirement for installation accuracy is reduced, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the installation cost.

[0042] Fourthly, the mounting table 22 extends inwardly, which can provide a larger mounting surface for the driving member 40, facilitate the installation of the driving member 40, and the mounting table 22 can more reliably support and fix the driving member 40, and is also more conducive to the force conduction between the mounting table 22 and the driving member 40.

[0043] Fifthly, the peep-proof member 30 is arranged on the inner side of the rotating ring 20, the mounting table 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, the driving member 40 is installed on the mounting table 22, and the driving member 40 is in transmission cooperation with the peep-proof member 30, which is more conducive to force conduction. When the user holds the outer wall of the rotating ring 20 and rotates the rotating ring 20, the driving force applied by the user has a short conduction path from the rotating ring 20 to the peep-proof member 30, the driving force loss is small, the driving efficiency is improved, the user can drive the rotating ring 20 to rotate with smaller force, the state of the peep-proof member 30 is switched, and the user experience is improved. The user also receives better operation feedback.

[0044] Sixthly, the driving member 40 is arranged on the inner side of the rotating ring 20, which can make full use of the space on the inner side of the rotating ring 20, reduce the occupation of the space on the outer side of the rotating ring 20, and reduce the occupation of the overall axial space of the peep-proof device, and the structure is more compact. When at least part of the peep-proof member 30 is also arranged on the inner side of the driving member 40, the driving member 40 is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, the distance between the peep-proof member 30 and the driving member 40 is closer, and the driving member 40 can better act on the peep-proof member 30 to stably drive the peep-proof member 30 to rotate.

[0045] Seventh, the rotation axis of the rotating ring 20 and the rotation axis of the privacy piece 30 are arranged at an angle, so that the rotation of the rotating ring 20 can drive the rotation of the privacy piece 30 synchronously in a smaller space, and the structure is more compact and occupies less space.

[0046] Eighth, the privacy piece 30 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 112. On the one hand, assembly and maintenance are convenient. For example, when assembling the privacy device, the privacy piece 30 is directly mounted on the bracket 112, and then the cover body 11, the rotating ring 20, and the shell 12 are assembled. When the privacy piece 30 needs to be repaired or replaced, the cover body 11 and the shell 12 are separated, and then the privacy piece 30 can be removed.

[0047] Ninth, the bracket 112 is directly and integrally formed on the cover body 11 or the shell 12, so that a separate bracket 112 part is not needed, the number of parts is reduced, and the assembly steps are reduced.

[0048] Tenth, referring to FIG. 5, when the privacy piece 30 is in the shielding state, part of the shielding part of the privacy piece 30 passes through the opening 1111 (not shown in the figure) of the cover body 11. On the one hand, the shielding part of the privacy piece 30 is close to the edge of the opening 1111, and the light leakage and shielding effect is good. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the privacy piece 30 in the accommodation cavity 101. By arranging the opening 1111 in the middle part of the cover body 11, the camera module 60 in the accommodation cavity 101 can be arranged centrally, so that the position of the opening 1111 corresponds to the position of the camera module 60, and the space layout is reasonable.

[0049] When designing the transmission cooperation mode of the privacy piece 30 and the rotating ring 20, the inventor considered arranging gears on the rotating ring 20 and the privacy piece 30 respectively, and achieving the rotation of the privacy piece 30 driven by the rotating ring 20 through the meshing of the two gears. However, the inventor found that: such a high assembly precision requirement for gears, high yield requirement, and high production cost, and the risk of loosening or tooth jamming of the two gears, which may cause the privacy piece 30 to rotate not smoothly or not at all when the user rotates the rotating ring 20, affecting the user experience. In the transmission scheme of the two gears, the two gears can only be located in the same plane, which requires a wide enough space to accommodate the two gears, resulting in a large overall size of the privacy device. The privacy device of the present application does not need gears, reduces the assembly precision requirement, reduces the assembly difficulty, improves the assembly efficiency, and is beneficial to reducing the size of the privacy device.

[0050] Please refer to FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the mounting table 22 extends from the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 towards the direction of the first axis 100, and the mounting table 22 provides a mounting surface on the side adjacent to the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, which can support the driving member 40. For example, the first axis 100 extends along the up-down direction, the mounting surface can be provided on the upper side or the lower side of the mounting table 22. In an embodiment, the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 protrudes to form the mounting table 22, and the upper side and the lower side of the mounting table 22 can both provide mounting surfaces. In another embodiment, a groove is formed on the side of the rotating ring 20 close to the inner wall and close to the edge, and the groove wall serves as the mounting surface of the mounting table 22.

[0051] Please continue to refer to FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the driving member 40 extends from the mounting table 22 towards the direction of the first axis 100, and a part of the driving member 40 is fixed on the mounting table 22, which is reliably supported and fixed by the mounting table 22; the other part of the driving member 40 protrudes inwardly relative to the mounting table 22 to drive the privacy screen 30 located on the inner side, and the transmission is more stable. For example, when the rotating ring 20 rotates to the left or to the right around the first axis 100, the inwardly extending driving member 40 can apply a leftward or rightward force to the privacy screen 30 to transmit power and rotate the privacy screen 30.

[0052] The mounting table 22 of the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 extends inwardly, and the driving member 40 also extends inwardly, which not only realizes stable transmission connection between the rotating ring 20 and the privacy screen 30, but also can keep a certain interval between the privacy screen 30 and the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, so that the rotating ring 20 does not hinder the rotation of the privacy screen 30 on the inner side.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 6, FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, FIG. 24, FIG. 25, the privacy piece 30 includes two privacy covers 31, one of which is a first privacy cover 311, and the other is a second privacy cover 312. The number of driving pieces 40 is consistent with the number of privacy covers 31, and the number of mounting tables 22 is consistent with the number of driving pieces 40; in other words, the privacy piece 30 includes two privacy covers 31, two driving pieces 40, and two mounting tables 22. Each driving piece 40 is correspondingly mounted to a mounting table 22, and each driving piece 40 is correspondingly in transmission cooperation with a privacy cover 31. The two mounting tables 22 are arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, i.e., the two mounting tables 22 are distributed along the first axis 100, which is the rotation axis of the rotating ring 20. Compared with the scheme of arranging only one mounting table 22, one driving piece 40, and one privacy cover 31, in the present embodiment, the mounting table 22, the driving piece 40, and the privacy cover 31 are all two, and on the one hand, the driving force applied by the user to the rotating ring 20 can be more efficiently transmitted to the privacy piece 30, and the user's rotating operation is more labor-saving; on the other hand, by cooperating the two privacy covers 31 to cover or avoid the camera module 60, the size and area of a single privacy cover 31 can be reduced, the rotation stroke of a single privacy cover 31 can be reduced, the space occupied by a single privacy cover 31 during rotation can be reduced, and the force required to drive a single privacy cover 31 to rotate can be reduced, thereby making the structure design of the entire privacy device more simple and compact; on the third hand, the user can rotate the rotating ring 20 by a smaller range to achieve the covering and shielding of the camera module 60, and the rotating ring 20 can achieve the effect of shielding or opening the camera module 60 more quickly after the user's operation, the response is faster, and the user experience is better.

[0054] Please refer to FIG. 21 and FIG. 23, when the privacy piece 30 is in the shielding state, the edges of the two privacy covers 31 contact to close to form a large cover body 11 for shielding the camera module 60. Please refer to FIG. 19 and FIG. 22, when the privacy piece 30 is in the open state, the two privacy covers 31 are separated, and a gap is formed between the two privacy covers 31, which is used to expose the camera module 60. The rotating ring 20 can be rotated in a first direction to drive the two privacy covers 31 to rotate away from each other, and the rotating ring 20 can be rotated in a second direction to drive the two privacy covers 31 to rotate towards each other, one of the first direction and the second direction is clockwise and the other is counterclockwise. In FIG. 19, F1 indicates the first direction, and in FIG. 21, F2 indicates the second direction.

[0055] Optionally, the two mounting platforms 22 are arranged opposite along the diameter direction of the rotating ring 20, in other words, the two mounting platforms 22 are arranged at opposite ends of the peep-proof piece 30 and are used for transmission cooperation with the two ends of the peep-proof piece 30 respectively. Taking the example that the two peep-proof covers 31 are arranged along the front-back direction, the two mounting platforms 22 of the rotating ring 20 are located at the left and right sides of the inner wall of the rotating ring 20, the left end of the first peep-proof cover 31 is in transmission cooperation with the driving piece 40 on one mounting platform 22, and the right end of the second peep-proof cover 31 is in transmission cooperation with the driving piece 40 on the other mounting platform 22. In this way, not only the opening and closing of the two peep-proof covers 31 in the rotating process of the rotating ring 20 are realized, but also the structure of the peep-proof device is more compact, and the force transmission is more efficient.

[0056] Optionally, the rotation axes of the two peep-proof covers 31 are collinear, the rotation axes of the two peep-proof covers 31 are both the second axis 200, and the line connecting the two mounting platforms 22 is collinear or parallel to the second axis 200. The overall structure is more compact, which is beneficial to reduce the volume.

[0057] In other embodiments, two peep-proof covers 31 can also be configured, the two peep-proof covers 31 are rotatably mounted to the shell 12 or the cover 11, only one mounting platform 22 and one driving piece 40 are configured, only the first peep-proof cover 31 is in transmission cooperation with the driving piece 40, the second peep-proof cover 31 is in transmission cooperation with the first peep-proof cover 31, and the first peep-proof cover 31 drives the second peep-proof cover 31 to rotate after the rotating ring 20 drives the first peep-proof cover 31 to rotate.

[0058] In other embodiments, only one mounting platform 22, one driving piece 40 and one peep-proof cover 31 can also be arranged.

[0059] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (part of the figure is not shown the cover 11), the driving piece 40 is mounted on the side of the mounting platform 22 away from the cover 11, so as to facilitate installation and improve assembly efficiency. For example, in combination with FIG. 1, during installation, the cover 11 can be placed on the operation table, the rotating ring 20 is installed from top to bottom on the cover 11, then the driving piece 40 is installed from top to bottom on the mounting platform 22 of the rotating ring 20, and finally the shell 12 is installed from bottom to top on the cover 11. During the whole installation process, the installation direction of the parts is consistent, which can improve the assembly efficiency. In other embodiments, the driving piece 40 can also be arranged on the side of the mounting platform 22 close to the cover 11.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 8 to FIG. 13, the driving member 40 comprises a mounting portion 41 connected with the rotating ring 20 and a driving portion 42 protruding from the mounting portion 41, the mounting portion 41 is connected with the mounting table 22, and the driving portion 42 is in transmission cooperation with the privacy member 30. The mounting portion 41 and the driving portion 42 of the driving member 40 can be different in shape and size to respectively cooperate with the mounting table 22 and the privacy member 30, so as to realize stable installation of the driving member 40 and take into account stable transmission between the driving member 40 and the privacy member 30. Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the mounting surface of the lower side of the mounting table 22 can be configured as a plane, and the side of the mounting portion 41 of the driving member 40 close to the mounting table 22 is also configured as a plane. During assembly, the plane of the driving member 40 is attached to the mounting surface of the mounting table 22 to support each other, and the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22 are in surface-to-surface contact, so as to stably transmit power with a large contact area. Referring to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the driving portion 42 of the driving member 40 is configured as a driving protruding portion protruding from any surface of the mounting portion 41, and the driving protruding portion extends to the inside of the accommodating cavity 101. In this way, the driving portion 42 of the driving member 40 can be correspondingly inserted into the slot or hole of the privacy member 30 to realize transmission. Alternatively, the driving protruding portion is a cylindrical protruding column, and the outer peripheral side wall of the cylindrical protruding column is smooth. After the cylindrical protruding column is inserted into the slot or hole of the privacy member 30, the cylindrical protruding column can smoothly move in the slot or hole during relative movement, and is not easy to jam, so that the transmission is more smooth.

[0061] In other embodiments, the driving protruding portion can also be a prism. In other embodiments, the driving member 40 can also be a columnar structure as a whole, as shown in FIG. 14, and a segment of the columnar structure is directly fixed to the mounting table 22.

[0062] Please refer to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, in an embodiment, the mounting portion 41 of the driving member 40 is configured as an L-shaped or approximately L-shaped bracket 112 structure. The mounting portion 41 is an L-shaped bracket 112, the mounting portion 41 includes a first bracket portion 411 for connecting with and supporting the mounting table 22, and a second bracket portion 412 for serving as a base of the mounting protrusion, the mounting protrusion is located at the second bracket portion 412 and protrudes inwardly from the second bracket portion 412. The first bracket portion 411 and the second bracket portion 412 are connected at an angle. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the first axis 100 is perpendicular to the first bracket portion 411, the first axis 100 is parallel to the second bracket portion 412, and the first bracket portion 411 and the second bracket portion 412 are perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the first bracket portion 411 and the second bracket portion 412 can also be connected at an acute angle or an obtuse angle. The first bracket portion 411 is fixed to the mounting table 22 by a connecting member 50, and the first bracket portion 411 abuts against the mounting surface of the mounting table 22 to achieve surface-to-surface contact between the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22, thereby achieving stable mounting. The second bracket portion 412 extends from the first bracket portion 411 in a direction parallel to the first axis 100, so that the driving portion 42 protruding inwardly can be formed on one side of the second bracket portion 412 to enable the driving portion 42 to be in transmission cooperation with the privacy member 30. Referring to FIG. 17, a stepped recess is defined between the first bracket portion 411 and the second bracket portion 412, and the recess can accommodate the connecting member 50, for example, the head of a screw, thereby making full use of space and achieving a more compact structure. Compared with a cuboid or a square mounting portion 41, the L-shaped mounting portion 41 also helps to reduce material, cost and weight. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 41 of the driving member 40 can also be configured in the manner shown in FIG. 13, that is, the mounting portion 41 is a cuboid or a square solid structure.

[0063] Please continue to refer to FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 and FIG. 15, the mounting table 22 is provided with a first guide structure 221, and the driving member 40 is provided with a second guide structure 413, the first guide structure 221 and the second guide structure 413 are inserted and fitted. Between the first guide structure 221 and the second guide structure 413, one is a guide column and the other is a guide hole. When the driving member 40 is installed, the guide column is aligned with the guide hole, and during the process of inserting the guide column into the guide hole, the installation of the mounting portion 41 of the driving member 40 against the mounting table 22 can be guided, and then the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22 are locked by the connecting member 50. The cooperation between the mounting table 22 and the driving member 40 plays a guiding role during installation, which can improve the assembly efficiency; secondly, it plays a positioning role, which facilitates the connection between the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22 by using the connecting member 50; thirdly, it plays a reinforcing and limiting role. During the rotation of the rotating ring 20 to drive the rotation of the privacy member 30, the driving member 40 plays a role in force transmission, and the cooperation between the guide column and the guide hole avoids the deflection of the position of the driving member 40 on the mounting table 22.

[0064] In an embodiment, the mounting table 22 is integrally connected with the rotating ring 20, the rotating ring 20 is in a ring structure, and the mounting table 22 is located on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20. When manufacturing the rotating ring 20, a strip-shaped member can be first formed by an extrusion molding process, the strip-shaped member includes a base plate and a protrusion formed on one side of the base plate, then the protrusion is cut to form a protrusion structure by a cutting process, and then a section of the strip-shaped member is cut and connected end to end, so that the mounting table 22 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the ring-shaped rotating ring 20. The protrusion described above serves as the rotating ring 20, and the protrusion described above serves as the mounting table 22. The inventor considers that if other columnar structures are formed on the mounting table 22, the difficulty of the extrusion molding process will be increased. In order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the rotating ring 20 and avoid the structure of the structure on the inner wall of the ring-shaped rotating ring 20 being complicated, not only the driving member 40 is manufactured separately from the rotating ring 20, but also the first guide structure 221 arranged on the mounting table 22 is configured as a guide hole, and the guide hole is easy to process on the mounting table 22.

[0065] In an embodiment, the mounting table 22 is integrally connected with the rotating ring 20, the rotating ring 20 is in a ring structure, and the mounting table 22 is located on the inner wall of the rotating ring 20. When manufacturing the rotating ring 20, a strip-shaped member can be first formed by an extrusion molding process, the strip-shaped member includes a base plate and a protrusion formed on one side of the base plate, then the protrusion is cut to form a protrusion structure by a cutting process, and then a section of the strip-shaped member is cut and connected end to end, so that the mounting table 22 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the ring-shaped rotating ring 20. The protrusion described above serves as the rotating ring 20, and the protrusion described above serves as the mounting table 22. The inventor considers that if other columnar structures are formed on the mounting table 22, the difficulty of the extrusion molding process will be increased. In order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the rotating ring 20 and avoid the structure of the structure on the inner wall of the ring-shaped rotating ring 20 being complicated, not only the driving member 40 is manufactured separately from the rotating ring 20, but also the first guide structure 221 arranged on the mounting table 22 is configured as a guide hole, and the guide hole is easy to process on the mounting table 22.

[0066] Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, the driving member 40 is provided with a driving part 42, and the privacy protection cover 30 further includes a transmission member 32. The mounting table 22 is connected with the driving member 40, the driving member 40 is in transmission cooperation with one end of the transmission member 32, and the other end of the transmission member 32 is connected with the privacy protection cover 31. When the rotating ring 20 rotates, the transmission member 32 can be driven to rotate by the driving member 40 on the mounting table 22, and the transmission member 32 can drive the privacy protection cover 31 to rotate when rotating. Among them, the transmission member 32 can be integrally connected with the privacy protection cover 31, or can be provided as two parts with the privacy protection cover 31.

[0067] In an embodiment, the privacy protection cover 31 and the transmission member 32 are locked and connected by a self-tapping screw 33, the self-tapping screw 33 does not need to cooperate with a nut, the number of parts for locking the privacy protection cover 31 and the transmission member 32 is small, and the assembly is convenient.

[0068] The transmission member 32 is provided with a transmission part 321, and the transmission member 32 is in transmission cooperation with the driving member 40 through the transmission part 321. When the rotating ring 20 rotates around the first axis 100, the mounting table 22 directly contacts the transmission member 32 and transmits the driving force to the transmission member 32, so as to drive the transmission member 32 to rotate when the mounting table 22 rotates around the first axis 100. The direct contact between the mounting table 22 and the transmission member 32 can more quickly and stably transmit the driving force, and the transmission effect is better.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 4, 15-17, between the driving protrusion of the driving member 40 and the transmission part 321 of the transmission member 32, one is a hole and the other is a protrusion, the protrusion is inserted into the hole, and the outer wall of the protrusion contacts the hole wall of the hole, so as to transmit the power to the transmission member 32 through the driving member 40. In an embodiment, the driving part 42 is a driving protrusion, the transmission part 321 is a strip-shaped transmission hole, the transmission hole can be a through hole or a blind hole, the driving protrusion is inserted into the transmission hole, and when the rotating ring 20 drives the driving member 40 to rotate, the driving protrusion abuts against the hole wall of the transmission hole, so as to drive the anti-peep cover 31 to rotate through the driving member 40. In another embodiment, the driving part 42 is a strip-shaped driving hole, the transmission part 321 is a transmission protrusion, the transmission protrusion is inserted into the driving hole, and the driving hole can be a through hole or a blind hole, and when the rotating ring 20 drives the driving member 40 to rotate, the hole wall of the driving hole abuts against the transmission protrusion, so as to drive the anti-peep cover 31 to rotate through the driving member 40.

[0070] When the transmission part 321 is configured as a transmission hole, the transmission hole is a strip-shaped hole, which can realize the sliding of the driving protrusion in the strip-shaped transmission hole when the rotating ring 20 rotates, so as to continuously push the transmission part 321 through the driving member 40, thereby continuously pushing the anti-peep member 30 to rotate. Similarly, when the driving part 42 is configured as a driving hole, the driving hole is a strip-shaped hole, which is also used to continuously push the anti-peep member 30 to rotate when the rotating ring 20 rotates.

[0071] When the rotating ring 20 rotates in the forward direction, the first side of the protrusion abuts against the first side of the hole wall, which can drive the transmission member 32 to rotate in the forward direction, and drive the anti-peep cover 31 to rotate in the forward direction through the transmission member 32; when the rotating ring 20 rotates in the reverse direction, the second side of the protrusion abuts against the second side of the hole wall, which can drive the transmission member 32 to rotate in the reverse direction, and drive the anti-peep cover 31 to rotate in the reverse direction through the transmission member 32. For example, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 21, when the rotating ring 20 rotates in different directions, the transmission member 32 can be driven to swing in different directions, thereby driving the anti-peep cover 31 to rotate in different directions. Through the configuration of a single transmission member 32, the rotation driving of a single anti-peep cover 31 can be realized.

[0072] It can be understood that, by inserting the convex portion into the hole, the two side walls of the convex portion can be in contact with the hole wall, so that when the rotating ring 20 rotates in different directions, the driving member 40 drives the transmission member 32 to rotate in different directions, thereby driving the driving member 40 to open or close the privacy cover 31, without configuring a gear, the rotating ring 20 can drive the privacy cover 31 to rotate in different directions to close or open, the structure is simple, and the cooperation between the parts is smooth. And the installation between the driving member 40 and the transmission member 32 only needs to be inserted into the hole by the convex portion, which is convenient to assemble, without precise positioning, and can be quickly assembled when the installation space is limited, improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, after the convex portion is inserted into the hole, it is not easy to loosen and misalign, and the cooperation between the driving member 40 and the transmission member 32 is more reliable.

[0073] The rotating ring 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 13, and the housing 12 is provided with a start groove 231 and an end groove 232 spaced apart around the rotation axis of the rotating ring 20. Alternatively, the rotating ring 20 is provided with the start groove 231 and the end groove 232 spaced apart around the rotation axis thereof, and the housing 12 is provided with the limiting protrusion 13. The rotating ring 20 can rotate relative to the housing 12 to switch the limiting protrusion 13 between the state of being clamped in the start groove 231 and the state of being clamped in the end groove 232. In FIGS. 7, 8, 19 and 21, the inner wall of the rotating ring 20 is provided with a first boss 23, and the first boss 23 is provided with the start groove 231 and the end groove 232. As shown in FIG. 1, the limiting protrusion 13 can be fixedly installed on the housing 12. FIG. 19 shows that the limiting protrusion 13 is clamped in the start groove 231, at this time, the two privacy covers 31 are opened, and the privacy member 30 is in an open state. FIGS. 21 and 29 show that the limiting protrusion 13 is clamped in the end groove 232, at this time, the two privacy covers 31 are closed, and the privacy member 30 is in a shielding state. It can be understood that, between the rotating ring 20 and the housing 12, through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 13 and the start groove 231, and the limiting protrusion 13 and the end groove 232, when the limiting protrusion 13 is clamped in one of the grooves, the user will feel a "click" when holding the rotating ring 20 by hand, which can provide the user with gear feedback of the rotating ring 20 being rotated to the position through vibration or sound, and the user can also know whether the rotating ring 20 rotates the privacy member 30 to the open state or the shielding state without needing to check the state of the privacy cover 31 with eyes, the user uses conveniently, and the experience is better. In addition, the limiting protrusion 13 clamped in the start groove 231 and the end groove 232 can also provide a holding force for holding the rotating ring 20 to the current position, thereby maintaining the current state of the privacy member 30, avoiding accidental rotation of the rotating ring 20 due to accidental touch of the rotating ring 20 by the user or other accidental situations, thereby avoiding accidental opening of the privacy member 30 to cause privacy leakage, and the privacy protection function is more reliable.

[0074] Optionally, the limiting protrusion 13 is a resilient structure, and when an external force is applied to the rotating ring 20, the limiting protrusion 13 can be deformed, so that the limiting protrusion 13 is away from the starting groove 231 or the ending groove 232 when the user applies a driving force to the rotating ring 20.

[0075] In other embodiments, magnetic elements can also be arranged between the rotating ring 20 and the shell 12, or between the rotating ring 20 and the cover 11, so that when the rotating ring 20 is rotated to the position, the gear feeling of the rotating ring 20 being rotated to the position is provided by magnetic attraction, and the rotating ring 20 is kept at the current position.

[0076] In the process of driving the rotating ring 20 to rotate, the rotating ring 20 can drive the peep-proof cover 31 to shield or avoid the camera module 60. If the peep-proof cover 31 is arranged to rotate around the camera module 60 in a circular manner, a large amount of space will be wasted to provide the peep-proof cover 31 with circular motion. If the peep-proof cover 31 is driven to move in a reciprocating arc by driving the rotating ring 20 to rotate forward or reverse, the peep-proof cover 31 can also shield or avoid the camera module 60. However, the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating ring 20 can have a dead point position, which causes the rotating ring 20 and the peep-proof cover 31 to fail to reset at the dead point position. Therefore, referring to FIGS. 19 and 21, the rotating ring 20 is provided with a first limiting portion 24, the first limiting portion 24 is arranged to be spaced apart from the mounting table 22, the shell 12 is provided with a second limiting portion 14, and the first limiting portion 24 and the second limiting portion 14 can abut each other to limit the rotation angle of the rotating ring 20 relative to the shell 12. The rotation angle of the rotating ring 20 is limited within a certain range, so that in the case that the rotating ring 20 drives the peep-proof cover 31 to rotate to the limit position of opening or the limit position of closing, the rotating ring 20 is prevented from continuing to rotate, thereby avoiding the rotating ring 20 and the peep-proof cover 31 from being stuck, avoiding malfunctions, and ensuring use reliability. Compared with the scheme of using electronic sensing elements to detect and limit the rotation angle of the rotating ring 20, the present embodiment cooperates the first limiting portion 24 with the second limiting portion 14 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating ring 20 by mechanical hard limiting, without the need to arrange electronic components, which is simpler and lower in cost.

[0077] The rotating ring 20 is a ring-shaped structure, a curved surface structure or a bent structure. Please refer to FIGS. 3, 5, 6 and 29, at least part of the rotating ring 20 is sleeved outside the shell 12, so that the outer wall of the rotating ring 20 is exposed to provide a gripping position, which facilitates the user to externally grasp the rotating ring 20 to manually rotate the rotating ring 20. In an embodiment, the overall shape of the peep-proof device is similar to a cylinder, and the rotating ring 20 is a circular ring, so that the user can conveniently hold the rotating ring 20 with one hand to rotate the rotating ring 20, which provides a good operation experience. In other embodiments, the rotating ring 20 can also be an arc-shaped structure or other structure, such as a semi-circular ring structure, which is slidably sleeved on the shell 12, and the shape of the rotating ring 20 is not limited in the present application.

[0078] The driving member 40 and the rotating ring 20 are two structural members. When assembling the privacy protection device, the driving member 40 is mounted to the mounting table 22 through the connecting member 50 to realize the fixation of the position of the driving member 40 and the force transmission between the transmission member 32 and the driving member 40. Compared with the welding mode, the connecting member 50 is used to realize the connection, which is convenient and fast. In an embodiment, the connecting member 50 is a screw or a bolt. The mounting and fixation can be realized by the threaded connection of the connecting member 50 with the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22 at the same time. In this way, only the locking and mounting of the screw or the bolt from one side need to be operated, which is convenient and fast. The mounting and fixation can also be realized by the threaded connection of the connecting member 50 with the nut on the other side after the connecting member 50 passes through the driving member 40 and the mounting table 22. The screw or the bolt is used as the connecting member 50, which can stably transmit the rotating force of the rotating ring 20 to the driving member 40 and is more reliable. The threaded connection is used to realize the mounting and fixation, which is more stable than the buckle connection.

[0079] The cover body 11 is provided with two brackets 112, each of which is provided with a clamping hole 1121, and each of which is provided with a side opening 1122 communicating with the clamping hole 1121 in the lateral direction. One end of the privacy protection member 30 is clamped into the clamping hole 1121 of one of the brackets 112 through the side opening 1122, and the other end of the privacy protection member 30 is clamped into the clamping hole 1121 of the other bracket 112 through the side opening 1122, and the two ends of the privacy protection member 30 are rotatably connected with the two brackets 112, respectively. In the case where the privacy protection member 30 includes two privacy protection covers 31, the two privacy protection covers 31 are hinged, and the end of one of the privacy protection covers 31 is clamped into the clamping hole 1121 of one of the brackets 112, and the end of the other privacy protection cover 31 is clamped into the clamping hole 1121 of the other bracket 112. In this way, in the case where both ends of the privacy protection member 30 need to be clamped into the two brackets 112, the clamping hole 1121 of the bracket 112 has the side opening 1122, and after the two ends of the privacy protection member 30 are aligned with the side openings 1122 of the two brackets 112, the privacy protection member 30 can be directly pressed to clamp the two ends of the privacy protection member 30 into the two clamping holes 1121 of the two brackets 112, thereby realizing the buckling of the ends of the privacy protection member 30 with the brackets 112, which is convenient and fast and has high assembly efficiency.

[0080] In other embodiments, the bracket 112 can also be provided with a through mounting hole for the end of the two privacy protection covers 31 to be inserted.

[0081] In an embodiment, the cover 11 comprises a cover plate 111 and two supports 112, the two supports 112 are integrated with the cover plate 111 of the cover 11, not only convenient to be integrally formed by injection molding process and the like, but also when assembling the entire camera, the upper assembly composed of the cover 11 and the peep-proof piece 30 and the lower assembly composed of the shell 12 and the camera module 60 are assembled separately and then assembled together, which improves the assembly efficiency.

[0082] When the peep-proof device is configured that the peep-proof piece 30 comprises two peep-proof covers 31, the two peep-proof covers 31 are driven to rotate mutually close by rotating the rotating ring 20 around the first direction to make the two peep-proof covers 31 close, and the two peep-proof covers 31 are driven to rotate mutually away by rotating the rotating ring 20 around the second direction to make the two peep-proof covers 31 open, when the two peep-proof covers 31 are mutually close, the two peep-proof covers 31 may not be closed well, which causes that there is a gap in some areas, and the existence of the gap may cause that the camera module 60 lens collection range is not completely shielded. Among them, one of the two peep-proof covers 31 is the first peep-proof cover 311 and the other is the second peep-proof cover 312.

[0083] A possible situation of poor closing of the privacy cover 31 is that the first ends of the two privacy covers 31 are misaligned, and the second ends of the two privacy covers 31 are misaligned, so that there is a gap between the two privacy covers 31, which may cause the camera module 60 to be exposed. For example, the two privacy covers 31 are arranged one above the other, and each privacy cover 31 extends in the left-right direction. When the two privacy covers 31 are rotated to abut against each other, if the two privacy covers 31 continue to be rotated to each other, the upper side of one privacy cover 31 and the lower side of the other privacy cover 31 may abut against each other, causing the one privacy cover 31 to move horizontally to the left by a certain distance, and the other privacy cover 31 to move horizontally to the right by a certain distance, which may cause a gap between the left ends of the two privacy covers 31 and a gap between the right ends of the two privacy covers 31. To avoid this situation, referring to FIGS. 25-27, the first privacy cover 311 is provided with a third guide structure 313 on the side close to the second privacy cover 312, and the second privacy cover 312 is provided with a fourth guide structure 314 on the side close to the first privacy cover 311. The third guide structure 313 is a guide hole, and the fourth guide structure 314 is a guide post; or the third guide structure 313 is a guide post, and the fourth guide structure 314 is a guide hole. When the rotating ring 20 is rotated to drive the two privacy covers 31 to rotate to abut against each other, the guide post is inserted into the guide hole, and the rotating ring 20 continues to rotate until the guide post is completely inserted into the guide hole, and the two privacy covers 31 abut against each other. At this time, the two privacy covers 31 are closed, and the privacy cover 30 is in a shielding state. In this embodiment, during the closing of the two privacy covers 31, the two sides are guided and aligned by the guide structures, so that the two privacy covers 31 are prevented from being misaligned and translated relative to each other, and the gap near the end of the privacy cover 31 is avoided, and the camera module 60 is prevented from being exposed due to misalignment. The two privacy covers 31 are accurately closed, and the privacy protection effect is good.

[0084] Another possible situation of poor closing state of the privacy cover 31 is that the two privacy covers 31 fail to completely contact each other at the side edges close to each other. For example, when the two privacy covers 31 are arranged one above the other, the lower side edge of the upper privacy cover 31 and the upper side edge of the lower privacy cover 31 can fail to be in 100% contact and can have a certain gap. To avoid this situation, referring to FIGS. 25 to 28, the first privacy cover 311 is provided with a first flange 315 close to one side of the second privacy cover 312, and a first recess 317 is defined between the first flange 315 and the first privacy cover 311; the second privacy cover 312 is provided with a second flange 316 close to one side of the first privacy cover 311, and a second recess 318 is defined between the second flange 316 and the second privacy cover 312; when the privacy piece 30 is in the shielding state of shielding the camera module 60, the first flange 315 is clamped into the first recess 317, and the second flange 316 is clamped into the second recess 318. When the privacy piece 30 is in the shielding state, the two privacy covers 31 are closed, and referring to FIG. 28, the two flanges respectively extend into the two recesses, so that the edges of the two privacy covers 31 are overlapped with each other, thereby effectively enhancing the closing degree between the two privacy covers 31, avoiding the gap, and achieving good privacy protection effect; in this way, the processing requirement for the flatness of the side edges of the privacy cover 31 can be reduced.

[0085] It can be understood that the two situations of poor closing state of the privacy cover 31 described above can also be achieved by enhancing the overall structural strength of the privacy cover 31, and the accurate closing of the privacy cover 31 can also be achieved without the need to configure the third guide structure 313, the fourth guide structure 314, the first flange 315, the first recess 317, the second flange 316, and the second recess 318.

[0086] In an embodiment, the two ends of the first privacy cover 311 are respectively a first main connecting shaft 3112 and a first auxiliary connecting shaft 3113, and the two ends of the second privacy cover 312 are respectively a second main connecting shaft 3122 and a second auxiliary connecting shaft 3123; the first main connecting shaft 3112 and the second main connecting shaft 3122 are located at opposite ends of the privacy piece 30.
