Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a camera shielding structure 100, where the camera shielding structure 100 includes a shielding element 110, a base 120, a first hinge 130, a second hinge 140, a third hinge 150, and a fourth hinge 160.

The shielding element 110 is used for shielding the camera 220, and the shielding element 110 may be made of a light-tight material, for example, the shielding element 110 is a metal sheet or a plastic sheet, and preferably, the color of the shielding element 110 is black, so as to improve the shielding effect of the shielding element 110.

The base 120 includes a first fixing portion 121, a second fixing portion 122, and a deformation portion 123 connecting the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122, wherein the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are used for fixing with an external object. The deformation portion 123 is configured to deform under an external force, so that a relative position between the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 changes. When the external force is removed, the deformation portion 123 may be restored to its original shape. The external object may be a housing 210 of the electronic device 200, the electronic device 200 having a camera 220.

Generally, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are fixed to an external object by screws, and if the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are separated, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 may rotate along with the screws during the screwing operation, thereby reducing the mounting efficiency of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122. The first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 of the embodiment of the application are connected through the deformation portion 123, that is, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are connected into a whole, the deformation portion 123 can restrict the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 to a certain degree, and the base 120 cannot rotate along with the rotation of the screw when being installed on an external object, so that the installation efficiency is improved.

The first hinge portion 130 is disposed on the first fixing portion 121, the second hinge portion 140 is disposed at an end of the shielding member 110 facing the first fixing portion 121 corresponding to the first hinge portion 130, and the first hinge portion 130 and the second hinge portion 140 are hinged to each other. For example, the first hinge 130 is a shaft hole, and the second hinge 140 is a rotation shaft. Alternatively, the first hinge portion 130 is a rotating shaft, and the second hinge portion 140 is a shaft hole.

The third hinge portion 150 is disposed on the second fixing portion 122, the fourth hinge portion 160 is disposed at an end of the shielding element 110 facing the second fixing portion 122 corresponding to the third hinge portion 150, and the third hinge portion 150 is hinged to the fourth hinge portion 160. For example, the third hinge portion 150 is a shaft hole, and the fourth hinge portion 160 is a rotation shaft. Alternatively, the third hinge portion 150 is a rotating shaft, and the fourth hinge portion 160 is a shaft hole.

The first hinge 130 and the third hinge 150 are shaft holes, and the second hinge 140 and the fourth hinge 160 are rotation shafts. It should be noted that the central axes of the first hinge 130, the second hinge 140, the third hinge 150, and the fourth hinge 160 need to be overlapped, so that the shielding member 110 can rotate around the base 120.

The deformation portion 123 is configured to deform under an external force, so as to change a relative position between the first hinge portion 130 and the third hinge portion 150, so that the second hinge portion 140 is easily assembled to the first hinge portion 130, and the fourth hinge portion 160 is easily assembled to the third hinge portion 150, in other words, the shielding member 110 is easily assembled to the base 120, thereby facilitating assembly or disassembly of the camera shielding structure 100. The relative position may refer to a distance along the central axis between the first hinge 130 and the third hinge 150, an orientation between the first hinge 130 and the third hinge 150, or both a distance and an orientation along the axial direction between the first hinge 130 and the third hinge 150.

For example, the deformation portion 123 is a spring, and the distance between the first hinge portion 130 and the third hinge portion 150 is increased by extending the spring, at this time, the second hinge portion 140 may be inserted into the first hinge portion 130, and then the third hinge portion 150 is inserted into the fourth hinge portion 160 while the deformation portion 123 gradually recovers to its original shape, so that the shielding member 110 is installed on the base 120, and the assembly of the camera shielding structure 100 is completed.

Or, the deformation portion 123 is a spring plate, by bending the spring plate, the first hinge portion 130 rotates counterclockwise, the third hinge portion 150 rotates clockwise, the first hinge portion 130 and the third hinge portion 150 have a tendency of rotating to form an included angle by coaxial arrangement, at this time, the second hinge portion 140 can be inserted into the first hinge portion 130 first, then the third hinge portion 150 and the second fixing portion 122 are abutted, when the deformation portion 123 gradually restores the original assembly, the third hinge portion 150 gradually slides toward the fourth hinge portion 160 until being inserted into the fourth hinge portion 160, so that the shielding member 110 is installed on the base 120, and the assembly of the camera shielding structure 100 is completed. Of course, fourth hinge 160 may also deform a small amount during sliding.

After the camera shielding structure 100 is fixed to an external object, the shielding member 110 is rotated to shield or expose the camera 220, so that the privacy of the user is protected when the user needs to protect the camera 220, thereby preventing the camera 220 from acquiring an external image. Or the camera 220 is shielded when the camera 220 needs to be physically protected, so that the camera 220 is protected to a certain extent. Therefore, the plate size of the shielding member 110 needs to be at least larger than the lens size of the camera 220.

In summary, the camera shielding structure 100 according to the embodiment of the present application does not use a magnet, so that the cost is low. In addition, the base 120 of the embodiment of the present application can be deformed, so that the relative position between the first hinge portion 130 and the third hinge portion 150 disposed on the base 120 is changed, and further, the second hinge portion 140 disposed on the shielding member 110 is easily detached from the first hinge portion 130, and the third hinge portion 150 is easily detached from the fourth hinge portion 160, that is, the shielding member 110 is easily attached to the base 120, so that the camera shielding structure 100 is convenient to assemble. After the installation, the base 120 is restored to the original shape, and the shielding member 110 is not easily separated from the base 120.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in some embodiments, the deformation part 123 is provided with a first groove 123a, and the first groove 123a is used for reducing the local thickness of the deformation part 123, so that the deformation part 123 is easily deformed. The shape of the first recess 123a is preferably a long groove, and the extending direction of the long groove is perpendicular to the extending direction of the connecting line of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122, so that the deformation portion 123 is easily bent toward the two ends where the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are disposed.

As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, in some embodiments, the deformation portion 123 is provided with a second groove 123b corresponding to the first groove 123a, and the second groove 123b and the first groove 123a are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the deformation portion 123. The second groove 123b may further facilitate deformation of the deformation portion 123. Preferably, the shape and size of the second groove 123b are the same as those of the first groove 123a, and the projection of the second groove 123b and the first groove 123a in the thickness direction of the deformation part 123 coincides.

In some embodiments, the first fixing portion 121, the second fixing portion 122 and the deformation portion 123 may be made of the same material, and then different structures are designed to achieve different strengths. For example, the first fixing portion 121, the second fixing portion 122 and the deformation portion 123 may be made of plastic, so that the base 120 may be integrally injection-molded, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost.

In some embodiments, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are provided with a cavity on the side facing the shutter 110, and the cavity is used for accommodating the head of a screw. In addition, since the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 have a cavity, it is described that the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are surrounded by a plurality of surfaces, so that the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are easily deformed, for example, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 may be in a cylindrical shape and thus are not easily deformed. The shape of the deformation portion 123 may be a sheet shape so that deformation is easily generated. Alternatively, the base 120 may be made of metal, and the metal may be easily deformed when it is a sheet structure.

Of course, the first fixing portion 121, the second fixing portion 122 and the deformation portion 123 may be made of different materials, for example, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 may be made of plastic, and the deformation portion 123 may be made of flexible material such as rubber.

As shown in fig. 1-5, in some embodiments, the shield 110 includes a connecting portion 111 and a shield portion 112. The connecting portion 111 is used for being hinged to the base 120, and the second hinge portion 140 and the fourth hinge portion 160 are disposed on the connecting portion 111. The shielding portion 112 is disposed on the connecting portion 111, and an included angle is formed between the connecting portion 111 and the shielding portion 112, so that the surface where the base 120 is located may be different from the surface where the camera 220 is located, and the position where the camera shielding structure 100 is disposed may be more flexible.

Of course, in other embodiments, there may be no included angle between the connecting portion 111 and the shielding portion 112, for example, the shielding member 110 itself is a flat plate structure without a bending portion.

Generally, the housing of the electronic device 200 is approximately cubic, when the camera shelter structure 100 and the electronic device 200 are used by a user, the side of the housing facing the user is the front side, the side of the housing facing away from the user is the back side, and the camera 220 is generally arranged on the front side of the housing. In some embodiments, the connection portion 111 is disposed perpendicular to the shielding portion 112, so that the base 120 can be disposed on the top of the housing 210.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, in some embodiments, the base 120 further includes a supporting portion 124, the supporting portion 124 is disposed on the deformation portion 123, and the supporting portion 124 is used to support the shielding member 110, so that the shielding portion 112 is located at a predetermined shielding position. The height of the supporting portion 124 may be set according to actual needs, and when the supporting portions 124 of different height pairs support the shield 110, the shielding area of the shield 110 is different. It should be noted that the first groove 123a and the second groove 123b are both disposed through the shielding member 110 to prevent the shielding member 110 from obstructing the deformation of the deformation portion 123.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the first hinge portion 130 and the third hinge portion 150 are shaft holes, and the second hinge portion 140 and the fourth hinge portion 160 are rotation shafts. When the camera shield structure 100 is assembled, the rotation shaft is more likely to be physically damaged (broken) than the shaft hole. In addition, since the structure of the base 120 is more complex and more costly than the structure of the shielding element 110, if the rotating shaft is broken during the assembly of the camera shielding structure 100, only the shielding element 110 needs to be replaced with a new one, and the loss is less.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the first fixing portion 121 is provided with a first screw hole 121a, and the second fixing portion 122 is provided with a second screw hole 122a. The base 120 is fixedly connected with an external object through a screw, so that the cost is low, and the fixation is firm. In the fixing process, the first screw may be partially screwed into the first screw hole 121a, the second screw may be fully screwed into the second screw hole 122a, and finally the first screw may be fully screwed into the first screw hole 121a. Thus, the base 120 does not rotate with the screw during screwing.

As shown in fig. 6 and 8, a second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 200, where the electronic device 200 includes a housing 210, a camera 220, and the camera shielding structure 100 according to any of the embodiments. The electronic device 200 may be a display, a conference tablet, a television, a notebook, etc.

The material of the housing 210 may be plastic or metal. The camera 220 is disposed on the housing 210, and generally speaking, the camera 220 is embedded in the housing 210, so as to prevent the camera 220 from protruding out of the housing 210.

The camera shielding structure 100 is disposed adjacent to the camera 220, the camera shielding structure 100 is disposed on the housing 210, and specifically, the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 are fixed to the housing 210.

Since the shield 110 can rotate, the shield 110 can have a first position and a second position. When the shutter 110 is in the first position, the shutter 110 exposes the camera 220 (see fig. 7), and when the shutter is in the second position, the shutter 110 shields the camera 220 (see fig. 9). The included angle between the first position and the second position of the shielding element 110 can be 180 °, and of course, other angles can be set according to actual requirements. By rotating the shielding member 110, the shielding member 110 can be switched to expose or shield the camera 220, so as to meet different requirements.
