The invention provides a camera device which can shield a camera through a shielding piece so as to prevent privacy of a user from being leaked.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the camera device 10 includes: the camera module comprises a shell 100, a camera assembly 200, a shielding piece 300 and a driving device 400, wherein a slide rail 111 and an accommodating cavity 112 are arranged on the shell 100; the camera assembly 200 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 112, and the camera assembly 200 comprises a camera 210; the shielding piece 300 is slidably arranged in the slideway 111, and the shielding piece 300 has a first position (shown in fig. 5) for shielding the camera 210 and a second position (shown in fig. 6) for avoiding the camera 210; the driving device 400 is drivingly connected to the shutter 300 to drive the shutter 300 to switch between the first position and the second position.

Specifically, a camera hole is formed in the housing 100, the camera hole is arranged corresponding to the camera 210, and when the shielding member 300 is located at the first position, the shielding member 300 closes the camera hole, so as to shield the camera 210; when the shutter 300 is in the second position, the shutter 300 opens the camera hole, thereby avoiding the camera 210.

Because camera 210 corresponds the camera hole setting, shielding piece 300 has the first position of closing the camera hole and opens the second position in camera hole, consequently, when the user needs protect the privacy, can control this shielding piece 300 and close the camera hole, consequently the camera 210 device that this application provided can in time shelter from camera 210 when the user needs to can prevent that user's privacy from revealing.

Further, with continuing reference to fig. 2, a transmission structure between the driving device 400 and the shielding element 300 will now be described, in this embodiment, the driving device 400 includes a driving motor 410 and a driving gear 420, which are sequentially connected in a transmission manner; the shielding piece 300 comprises a transmission part 310 in transmission connection with the driving gear 420 and a shielding part 320 fixedly connected with the transmission part 310, the transmission part 310 is slidably arranged in the slideway 111, and the shielding part 320 is used for shielding the camera hole.

Specifically, the driving motor 410 drives the driving gear 420 to rotate, the driving gear 420 is in transmission connection with the transmission part 310 of the shielding piece 300, and the transmission part 310 is fixedly connected with the shielding part 320, so that the transmission part 310 can drive the shielding part 320 to move, and when the transmission part 310 drives the shielding part 320 to move to the camera hole, the shielding part 320 can shield the camera hole, thereby preventing the privacy of a user from being leaked; when the transmission portion 310 drives the shielding portion 320 to avoid the camera hole, the camera 210 can achieve a normal shooting function.

Further, referring to fig. 2, in order to make the movement of the transmission portion 310 more stable, in an embodiment of the present application, the transmission portion 310 is a driven rack that is adapted to engage with the driving gear 420, a guide post 311 is protruded from the driven rack, and the guide post 311 is adapted to be connected to the sliding channel 111.

Specifically, the driven rack has an upper surface and a lower surface which are oppositely arranged, the guide posts 311 are respectively arranged at two ends of the lower surface in the length direction, and the guide posts 311 are fittingly installed in the slide rail 111, so that the guide posts 311 can enable the transmission part 310 to move more stably in the moving process of the driven rack.

Further, referring to fig. 3, the structure of the shielding member 300 will now be described. Considering that the shielding member 300 includes two parts, i.e., the shielding portion 320 and the transmission portion 310, the transmission portion 310 is used for transmitting the driving force, so that the transmission portion 310 is required to have high structural strength, and therefore the transmission portion 310 is generally made of POM (polyoxymethylene), which has high strength and rigidity, good elasticity, and good wear resistance. The mechanical property is excellent, the specific strength can reach 50.5MPa, the specific rigidity can reach 2650MPa, and the specific rigidity is very close to that of metal; the shielding portion 320 functions to shield the camera 210, so the shielding portion 320 needs to be set to be partially transparent or completely opaque, and therefore the shielding portion 320 is made of PP (polypropylene), which is usually transparent or translucent colorless solid.

Specifically, the transmission portion 310 is a driven rack made of POM material, the shielding portion 320 is a baffle extending from the edge of the driven rack to the camera hole side, the baffle is made of PP material, and in consideration of the difference in material and molding process between the driven rack and the baffle, in order to integrate the driven rack and the baffle, in this embodiment, the baffle and the driven rack are made by a two-shot molding process.

However, the design of the utility model is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the baffle and the driven rack can also be fixedly connected by clamping, bonding, fixing and other manners; it is emphasized here that the two-shot molding process has a higher bonding strength than other fastening means.

Further, in order to avoid the privacy of the user to reveal and simultaneously realize normal security and protection functions, in the embodiment of the application, the baffle is in semitransparent setting. Because the baffle is arranged in a semitransparent manner, when the camera 210 is shielded by the baffle, the shadow shot by the camera 210 can be blurred, so that the privacy of a user can be prevented from being leaked; meanwhile, because the baffle is semitransparent, even when the baffle shelters from camera 210, still can guarantee that camera 210 can receive the light source signal to can guarantee that camera 210 can realize the security protection function.

As a preferable mode, please refer to fig. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, at least one surface of the baffle is provided with a concave-convex structure. The baffle with the concave-convex structure can refract light rays passing through the baffle, so that the blurring effect on the figure shadow is improved, and the camera 210 can be ensured to receive the light source but cannot see the clear figure shadow.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the concave-convex structure is disposed on the inner surface of the baffle facing the camera 210, and the outer surface of the baffle is smoothly disposed, so that the appearance of the baffle can be improved, and dust deposition on the outer surface of the baffle can be avoided.

It should be noted that, in order to make the baffle plate be translucent, in other embodiments, the technical purpose may also be achieved by using a baffle plate made of translucent material.

More importantly, because the baffle 320 is in a translucent setting rather than an opaque setting, when the baffle 320 shields the camera 210, the camera 210 can still receive the light source; when the camera 210 is damaged due to a fault, the camera 210 cannot receive a light source at all; accordingly, the user can easily distinguish whether the camera 210 is out of order or is shielded by the barrier 320.
