The camera structure of tool light guide effect

Technical field

The utility model is relevant for a kind of camera, refers to especially a kind ofly have the ray guidance of the backlight module of camera according to the camera structure to the tool light guide effect of operating key.

Background technology

Along with the fast development of present science and technology, common on the market 3C (Computer, Communication, Consumer Electronics) digital product is constantly weeded out the old and bring forth the new and is followed the evolution of process technique, makes price heal and becomes cheap.Wherein with consumer level image capture units such as mobile phone, PDA and digital camera with image acquisition function universalness day by day, especially at present digital camera has the facilitating functions of promptly seeing and being easy to store etc. with clapping, make digital camera replace the traditional camera that uses egative film to take, become the convenient digital product of popular normal use in daily life.

Present common on the market digital camera, its back side all are provided with most operating keys, and for example flexible Zoom In and Zoom Out key, Menu key and the five direction selection/operating keys etc. of may command camera lens are used the relevant function of control operation digital camera.So, when the user uses digital camera in the environment of insufficient light or dark, can't know visual these buttons that arrive usually, push the associative operation key then smoothly, in the feasible operation inconvenience be arranged to produce the function of expection.For solving the above problems, also there is the dealer to be provided with light emitting diode in the inside of digital camera, use the irradiate light that will produce in the operating key of correspondence, can't know visual problem to solve to operating key.But, though the light emitting diode of setting up can solve the above problems, relatively improve fabricator's cost problem also, and the design problem of raising associated component inner space ornaments, and digital camera is all towards frivolous design direction at present, the ornament space of intraware is healed and is become narrow and small, and how the setting of simplified assembly and quantity etc. promptly are the relevant research and development targets that the designer focused on.

Edge is, the improving of the above-mentioned disappearance of this creator thoughts is that the spy concentrates on studies and cooperates the utilization of scientific principle, proposes a kind of reasonable in design and effectively improve the utility model of above-mentioned disappearance finally.

The utility model content

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of camera structure of tool light guide effect, its can be further with ray guidance according to producing the effect of illumination, to have the effect that reduces cost etc. to operating key; And the manufacturer that can promote camera is for the use intention on the camera product function, uses the attraction when increasing camera and peddling.

In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a kind of camera structure of tool light guide effect, comprise: a camera body, its have a display screen, be located in around this display screen around the operating key of district, several contiguous these display screens and a pair of backlight module that should display screen, this backlight module comprises an ostiolate metal framework and at least one luminescence component that is arranged in this metal framework; At least one leaded light conduit, it is positioned on this camera body and is positioned at this around district side, and contiguous those operating keys, and this leaded light conduit communicates with this opening; And at least one leaded light column piece, it is arranged in this leaded light conduit, and contiguous those operating keys.

The benefit that the utlity model has: by the backlight module that the display screen light source is provided, and then with the cooperatively interacting of leaded light conduit and leaded light column piece under, thereby can be further with the ray guidance of backlight module according to producing the effect of illumination to operating key, therefore, can omit the illuminated component that in camera body, is provided with again as light emitting diode etc. with the illumination operating key, use to reach and have cost-effective purpose, and have the effect of simplicity of design.The degree of difficulty of favourable reduction inner space ornaments design simultaneously, omits the setting of extra light emitting diode, so can be reached camera then towards frivolous design direction.On the other hand, the manufacturer that also can promote camera is for the use intention on the camera product function, uses the attraction when increasing camera and peddling.

For enabling further to understand feature of the present utility model and technology contents, see also following about detailed description of the present utility model and accompanying drawing, yet appended graphic only provide with reference to and the explanation usefulness, be not to be used for the utility model is limited.

Embodiment

Please consult Figure 1 and Figure 2 earlier, Fig. 2 is the cut-open view of the 2-2 hatching line of Fig. 1.The utility model provides a kind of camera structure of tool light guide effect, and it comprises a camera body 1, at least one leaded light conduit 5 and at least one leaded light column piece 6.

Camera body 1 is to be a digital camera (digital camera), so its back side has the operating key 20 of a display screen 10 and most contiguous display screens 10, and has one around district's 30, one backlight module 40.Around the district 30 be located in display screen 10 around.Operating key 20 grades are adjacent to display screen 10.

Wherein, above-mentioned leaded light conduit 5 is positioned on the camera body 1 and is positioned at around 30 sides place, district, and is adjacent to above-mentioned operation push-button 20.On the other hand, the quantity of leaded light conduit 5 can be established according to practical design, is example with one in the utility model.

Above-mentioned backlight module 40 is arranged at camera body 1 inside, and corresponding to display screen 10, to provide display screen 10 required light source, backlight module 40 comprises metal framework 41 and at least one luminescence component 42 of a tool opening 411, luminescence component 42 is arranged in the metal framework 41, can be light emitting diode or any known luminophor, as fluorescent tube etc., and metal framework 41 opening 411 partly communicates with leaded light conduit 5.Wherein, the side plate 413 that metal framework 41 has a substrate 412 and extends from the bending of substrate 412 sides, and the bending of the end of side plate 413 extends the extension board 414 with 412 one-tenth levels of substrate, and this extension board 414 is inserted in the leaded light conduit 5.In addition, backlight module 40 more can comprise a light guide plate 43, and it is arranged in the metal framework 41, and luminescence component 42 is arranged at light guide plate 43 1 sides, the ray guidance of luminescence component 42 side direction can be become the light source of forward by light guide plate 43.

Leaded light column piece 6 is one to have the vertical bar shape cylinder of conducting light character, and its quantity can be established according to practical design, also is to be example with one in the utility model.Leaded light column piece 6 has a plane of light incidence 61 and the beam projecting face 62 relative with plane of light incidence 61, and beam projecting face 62 has the even effect of derivation of light source, and the direction of oriented manipulation key 20.Wherein, plane of light incidence 61 can be made as vertically, and beam projecting face 62 can be made as into inclination.On the other hand, leaded light column piece 6 is arranged in the leaded light conduit 5, and contiguous operating key 20.
