[0040] With the development of technology and the increasing demands of users, traditional interactive screens can no longer meet their needs. Users expect interactive screens to be more intelligent and have more interactive capabilities. Based on this, some interactive screens on the market incorporate camera structures capable of video communication, video monitoring, and gesture recognition to enrich their interactive capabilities. To ensure privacy and security, existing camera structures are usually equipped with a cover to shield the camera itself. To shield the camera, the cover is simply attached to the camera structure; to use the camera, the cover is removed and placed on a table. While this method ensures privacy, the cover is prone to loss.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of this application provides a camera structure for an interactive screen; the camera structure includes a camera unit 100 and a blocking unit 200, wherein the camera unit 100 has a camera body 110; the blocking unit 200 is rotatably mounted on one side of the camera body 110, and the blocking unit 200 has a blocking cover 210 for blocking the camera body 110.

[0042] In this embodiment, the camera body 110 is used not only to capture images but also to convert the images into digital signals that can be processed and transmitted. The camera body 110 is generally an image sensor, and its specific structure is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The camera body 110 has a front facing the user and a back facing away from the user. When the cover 210 covers the camera body 110, the cover 210 is located on the front of the camera body 110, that is, on the side away from the back of the camera body 110, and generally completely covers the camera body 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the camera structure can also be used in a liquid crystal display, an LED display, a flexible display, or a curved display.

[0043] When the camera body 110 in the camera structure of this application is not in use, the cover 210 rotates until it covers the camera body 110 to prevent the leakage of user privacy. The cover 210 in this application can not only cover the camera body 110 to prevent the leakage of user privacy, but also the installation method of the cover 200 rotating on one side of the camera body 110 avoids the loss of the cover 210 due to random placement, and ensures the normal use of the cover 210.

[0044] Referring to Figures 2, 4, and 6, in one embodiment, the camera structure further includes a positioning part 300. The positioning part 300 includes a positioning member 310 and a first positioning detection member 320. The positioning member 310 is connected to the blocking part 200. The positioning member 310 has a positioning strip 311, which has a first detection position. The first positioning detection member 320 is disposed on one side of the camera body 110. When the first positioning detection member 320 detects that the positioning strip 311 is in the first detection position, the blocking cover 210 blocks the camera body 110.

[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning member 310 rotates together with the blocking part 200; the first positioning detection member 320 is generally a switching device, usually a photoelectric switch or a micro switch; when the first positioning detection member 320 is a photoelectric switch, the first positioning detection member 320 includes a first transmitter for emitting a detection beam and a first receiver for receiving the detection beam. The first transmitter is a light-emitting element, and the first receiver is a photosensitive element, and is disposed on one side of the first transmitter. A first detection area is formed between the first transmitter and the first receiver for the positioning strip 311 to pass through or be pulled out; when the positioning strip 311 is in the first detection position, the positioning strip 311 is located in the first detection area, and the positioning strip 311 blocks the detection beam from reaching the first receiver, so that the first positioning detection member 320 detects the positioning strip 311. At this time, the blocking cover 210 will block the camera body to avoid leakage of user privacy.

[0046] When the first positioning detection element 320 is a micro switch, it includes a first trigger, a first movable contact, and a first fixed contact. When the positioning strip 311 is in the first detection position, the first trigger is subjected to an external force applied by the positioning strip 311. The first trigger pushes the first movable contact to contact the first fixed contact, so that the first positioning detection element 320 detects the positioning strip 311. At this time, the cover 210 will cover the camera body. The first positioning detection element 320 in this application can detect the positioning strip 311 even when the cover 210 covers the camera body 110, so that the user can know the position of the cover 210.

[0047] Referring to Figures 3, 5, and 7, in the above embodiment, the positioning unit 300 further includes a second positioning detection element 330. The second positioning detection element is located on one side of the first positioning detection element 320, and the positioning strip 311 also has a second detection position. When the second positioning detection element 330 detects that the positioning strip 311 is in the second detection position, the cover 210 moves open to expose the camera body 110.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second positioning detection element 330 is generally a switching device, typically a photoelectric switch or a micro switch. When the second positioning detection element 330 detects that the positioning strip 311 is in the second detection position, the cover 210 is generally located on one side of the camera body 110 and is offset from the camera body 110 so that the camera body 110 is fully exposed. When the second positioning detection element 330 is a photoelectric switch, the second positioning detection element 330 includes a second transmitter for emitting a detection beam and a second receiver for receiving the detection beam. The second transmitter is a light-emitting element, and the second receiver is a photosensitive element, and is located on one side of the second transmitter. A second detection area is formed between the second transmitter and the second receiver for the positioning strip 311 to pass through or be pulled out. When the positioning strip 311 is in the second detection position, the positioning strip 311 is located within the second detection area, and the positioning strip 311 blocks the detection beam from reaching the second receiver so that the second positioning detection element 330 detects the positioning strip 311. At this time, the camera body 110 is fully exposed so that the camera body 110 can perform normal operation.

[0049] When the second positioning detection element 330 is a microswitch, it includes a second trigger, a second active contact, and a second fixed contact. When the positioning strip 311 is in the second detection position, the second trigger is subjected to an external force applied by the positioning strip 311. The second trigger pushes the second active contact to contact the second fixed contact, so that the second positioning detection element 330 detects the positioning strip 311, at which point the camera body 110 is fully exposed. The second positioning detection element 330 in this application can detect the positioning strip 311 when the camera body 110 is exposed, so that the user can know the position of the cover 210.

[0050] Referring to Figures 4 to 8, in one embodiment, the camera structure further includes a driving unit 400, with the first positioning detection element 320 and the second positioning detection element 330 both electrically connected to the driving unit 400. The driving unit 400 has a driving shaft 410. The blocking part 200 and the positioning element 310 are both drivenly connected to the driving shaft 410 of the driving unit 400, so that the blocking part 200 and the positioning element 310 can rotate together around the driving shaft 410 of the driving unit 400.

[0051] In this embodiment, the camera structure further includes a control unit 500, which is a control circuit board; a drive unit 400 is a drive motor or drive motor, and the drive unit 400 is electrically connected to the control unit 500; the first positioning detection element 320 and the second positioning detection element 330 are both electrically connected to the control unit 500, and the first positioning detection element 320 and the second positioning detection element 330 are both electrically connected to the drive unit 400 through the control unit 500; the blocking part 200 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400 by an interference fit or other connection method, and the positioning element 310 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400 by an interference fit or other connection method, so that the blocking part 200 and the positioning element 310 are connected through the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400.

[0052] When the positioning element 310 is in the first detection position, the first positioning detection element 320 will send a data signal to the control unit 500 so that the control unit 500 can know the position of the positioning element 310. At this time, the cover 210 covers the camera body. If the cover 210 needs to switch from the state of covering the camera body 110 to the state of exposing the camera body 110, the user can issue a corresponding command to the control unit 500. The control unit 500 will issue a command to the drive unit 400 based on this command information. The start command causes the drive unit 400 to rotate the blocking part 200 and the positioning member 310 until the positioning member 310 is detected by the second positioning detection member 330. At this time, the blocking cover 210 is misaligned with the camera body 110, and the camera body 110 will be exposed. The second positioning detection member 330 will feed back a data signal to the control unit 500. Based on this signal, the control unit 500 will issue a stop command to the drive unit 400 so that the blocking cover 210 can be smoothly stopped at the position misaligned with the camera body 110.

[0053] When the positioning element 310 is in the second detection position, the second positioning detection element 330 will send a data signal to the control unit 500 so that the control unit 500 can know the position of the positioning element 310. At this time, the cover 210 and the camera body 110 are misaligned, and the camera body 110 is exposed relative to the cover 210. In this case, if the cover 210 needs to switch from a state that exposes the camera body 110 to a state that covers the camera body 110, the user can issue a corresponding command to the control unit 500. Based on this instruction information, the control unit 500 will issue a start command to the drive unit 400, so that the drive unit 400 drives the blocking part 200 and the positioning member 310 to rotate until the positioning member 310 is detected by the first positioning detection member 320. At this time, the blocking cover 210 blocks the camera body 110, and the second positioning detection member 330 will feed back a data signal to the control unit 500. Based on this signal, the control unit 500 will issue a stop command to the drive unit 400, so that the blocking cover 210 will stay smoothly at the position blocking the camera body 110.

[0054] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the shielding part 200 includes a shielding cover 210, a connecting strip 220, and a shielding mounting sleeve 230. The shielding mounting sleeve 230 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 410 of the drive part 400, and the connecting strip 220 is fixedly connected between the shielding cover 210 and the shielding mounting sleeve 230. The positioning member 310 includes a positioning strip 311 and a positioning mounting sleeve 312. The positioning mounting sleeve 312 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 410 of the drive part 400, and the positioning strip 311 and the positioning mounting sleeve 312 are fixedly connected.

[0055] In this embodiment, to ensure that the cover 210 can completely cover the camera body 110, the cover 210 is shaped as a circular piece. To ensure that the cover 200 is stably mounted on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400, the length direction of the cover mounting sleeve 230 is parallel to the axial direction of the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400. The cover mounting sleeve 230 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400 by an interference fit or other connection method. Meanwhile, the cover 210, the connecting strip 220, and the cover mounting sleeve 230 are integrally formed. To ensure that the positioning member 310 is stably mounted on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400, the length direction of the positioning mounting sleeve 312 is parallel to the axial direction of the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400. The positioning mounting sleeve 312 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 410 of the drive unit 400 by an interference fit or other connection method. Meanwhile, the positioning strip 311 and the positioning mounting sleeve 312 are integrally formed.

[0056] Referring to Figures 2, 3, 6, and 7, in one embodiment, the camera unit 100 includes a camera body 110 and a mounting base 120. The camera body 110 is mounted on the mounting base 120, and the shielding part 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 120. The mounting base 120 provides support not only for the camera body 110 but also for the shielding part 200.

[0057] Referring to Figures 2, 3, 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the mounting base 120 has a mounting groove 121, the camera body 110 is mounted in the mounting groove 121, and the shielding part 200 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 121.

[0058] In this embodiment, to ensure that the camera body 110 and the shielding part 200 do not interfere with each other, the mounting base 120 has a mounting end face, and the mounting groove 121 is a stepped groove. The mounting groove 121 includes a first groove segment 1211 and a second groove segment 1212. The first groove segment 1211 is provided on the mounting end face of the mounting base 120, and the second groove segment 1212 is provided on the bottom of the first groove segment 1211. The assembly composed of the connecting strip 220 and the shielding cover 210 is rotatably installed in the first groove segment 1211, and the camera body 110 is installed in the second groove segment 1212. The mounting groove 121 not only provides installation space for the assembly of the connecting strip 220 and the shielding cover 210 and the camera body 110, but also reduces the overall volume of the camera structure.

[0059] Referring to Figures 1, 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the mounting groove 121 has a first opening, and the camera unit 100 further includes a lens structure 130 located on the side of the cover 210 away from the camera body 110. The lens structure 130 is mounted on the mounting base 120 to block the first opening of the mounting groove 121.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first opening is located on the mounting end face of the mounting base 120. The lens structure 130 is used to focus, magnify, and control light so that the camera body 110 can capture a clear image with a suitable field of view. The specific structure of the lens structure 130 is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The lens structure 130 not only enables the camera body 110 to capture a clear image with a suitable field of view, but also seals the first opening of the mounting groove 121, thereby improving the safety of the components located in the mounting groove 121 and improving the cleanliness of the mounting groove 121. In addition, to ensure the sealing effect of the lens structure 130, the peripheral surface of the lens structure 130 is fitted with the inner wall of the first opening of the mounting groove 121, and the space between the peripheral surface of the lens structure 130 and the inner wall of the first opening of the mounting groove 121 can be filled with sealant or a sealing ring can be added.

[0061] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in one embodiment, the mounting groove 121 is a through groove, and the mounting groove 121 also has a second opening opposite to the first opening of the mounting groove 121; the camera unit 100 also includes a mounting plate 140 located on the side of the camera body 110 away from the cover 210, the camera body 110 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 140, and the mounting plate 140 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 120 by fasteners, for mounting the camera body 110 into the mounting groove 121, and for sealing the second opening of the mounting groove 121.

[0062] In this embodiment, the camera body 110 is generally fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 140 near the mounting base 120 using glue. The mounting plate 140 is generally detachably mounted to the mounting base 120 using screws, but it can also be detachably mounted to the mounting base 120 using pins. The mounting plate 140 not only facilitates the installation of the camera body 110 onto the mounting base 120, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the camera unit 100, but also serves as a sealing function, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the camera body 110.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, in one embodiment, the camera structure further includes a mounting part 600, on which the camera part 100, the positioning part 300, and the driving part 400 are all mounted.
