Example one

The embodiment of the utility model provides an image pickup device which is used for being installed on a display device. Referring to fig. 1, 2, and 6, the image pickup apparatus includes a fixed member 1, a slider 2, an image pickup unit 3, and a driving section 4. The fixing piece 1 is arranged on the back of the display device; the sliding part 2 is arranged on the fixed part 1 in a sliding way; the camera unit 3 is hinged with the sliding piece 2, and the camera unit 3 can swing towards the direction close to or away from the display equipment; the driving part 4 is connected with the slider 2, and the driving part 4 can drive the slider 2 to slide so as to extend or retract the camera 32 from the back of the display apparatus.

That is, the imaging apparatus of the present embodiment is integrally fixed to the back of the display device by the fixing member 1; the sliding piece 2 is driven to slide on the fixed piece 1 through the driving part 4, so that the camera shooting unit 3 on the sliding piece 2 can extend out of or retract into the back of the display device; and the distance between the camera unit 3 and the display device is adjustable through the hinge joint between the camera unit 3 and the sliding piece 2, so that the camera device is convenient to be applied to the direct type display device 6 and the side type display device 5.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the camera unit 3 of the present embodiment includes an adapter 31 and a camera 32, wherein one end of the adapter 31 is hinged to the slider 2, and the camera 32 is rotatably disposed on the other end of the adapter 31; and the hinge axis of the adapter 31 and the slider 2 is parallel to the rotation axis of the camera 32.

By providing the camera unit 3, after the adaptor 31 is rotated relative to the slider 2, the orientation of the camera 32 can be adjusted by the rotation of the camera 32, that is, the distance between the camera 32 and the display device can be adjusted without affecting the orientation of the camera 32. For example, after the adaptor 31 is rotated with respect to the slider 2, the imaging range of the camera 32 can be kept directed straight ahead by the rotation of the camera 32.

The specific principle that the image pickup apparatus of the present embodiment can be applied to both the side-in type display device 5 and the direct type display device 6 is as follows: referring to fig. 1, the side-entry display device 5 is flat as a whole; referring to fig. 2, the direct type display apparatus 6 has a flat plate-shaped body, and a convex hull 61 is provided at the back of the body, and because the convex hull 61 has a thickness of the direct type display apparatus 6 larger than that of the side type display apparatus 5, the fixing member 1 is located on the convex hull 61 when the image pickup device is mounted on the direct type display apparatus 6. It should be noted that the front side of the display device refers to the side of the display device that faces the user when the display device is used, and the back side of the display device refers to the side that faces away from the user; the thickness direction of the display device refers to a direction from the back surface to the front surface of the display device, i.e., the X direction in fig. 1; the height direction of the display device is the Y direction in fig. 2.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, when the image pickup apparatus is mounted on the side-in type display device 5 and the direct type display device 6, respectively, a distance L2 between the camera head 32 and the front panel of the direct type display device 6 and a distance L1 between the camera head 32 and the front panel of the side-in type display device 5 are different from each other in the case where the relative positions of the image pickup unit 3 and the slider 2 are the same, and specifically, a distance L2 between the camera head 32 and the front panel of the direct type display device 6 is greater than a distance L1 between the image pickup unit 3 and the front panel of the side-in type display device 5.

Referring to fig. 3, when the distance between the camera head 32 and the front panel of the display device is different, the minimum protrusion height of the camera head 32 to fully protrude the display device will be different, and specifically, the larger the distance between the camera head 32 and the front panel of the display device is, the larger the minimum protrusion height of the camera head 32 to fully protrude the display device is. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the minimum protrusion height H2 of the camera head 32 completely exposed from the direct type display device 6 is larger than the minimum protrusion height H1 of the camera head 32 completely exposed from the side type display device. The minimum protrusion height at which the camera 32 completely protrudes from the back of the display device refers to a minimum protrusion height at which the imaging range of the camera 32 is not blocked by the display device.

In order to avoid this problem, the related art needs to design different camera mounting structures for the direct type display device 6 and the side-in type display device 5, that is, the existing mounting structures for mounting the camera 32 on the direct type display device 6 and the side-in type display device 5 are not general.

In the solution of this embodiment, referring to fig. 4, by the swinging of the adaptor 31 and the rotation of the camera 32, the distance between the camera 32 and the front panel of the display device can be adjusted without changing the orientation of the camera 32, and the minimum protruding height of the camera 32 protruding out of the display device can also be adjusted. Therefore, the image pickup device of the embodiment can be conveniently applied to the direct type display device 6 and the side type display device 5, can also be applied to other display devices with different thicknesses, and has good universality.

Moreover, on the basis of better versatility, as shown in fig. 5, when the image pickup apparatus of the present embodiment is mounted on the direct type display device 6 and the side type display device 5, the tilt angle of the camera 32 can be adjusted by the rotation of the camera 32, which is further convenient for the user to use.
