Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the utility model will be readily understood, a more particular description of the utility model will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present utility model. The present utility model may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the utility model, whereby the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

As shown in fig. 1, an image capturing module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a carrier 10, a camera 20 and a shutter assembly 30. The carrier 10 is a carrying body of the camera module 100, and is used for loading and fixing the camera 20 and the shielding assembly 30. Wherein, carrier 10 includes frame main part and decorative board, and camera 20 and shielding subassembly 30 are installed respectively in the frame main part, and the decorative board is installed in the frame main part and is covered in shielding subassembly 30's top for will shelter from subassembly 30 from the outward appearance and hide, and promote the pleasing to the eye degree of camera module 100 outward appearance.

However, it should be noted that the veneer is provided with a visible hole, and the visible hole can avoid shielding the camera 20 for shooting during normal operation. When the camera 20 is required to be shielded, the shielding assembly 30 exposes the camera 20 in the visible hole when shielding the camera 20, so that a user can check whether the shielding assembly 30 is blocked or not in a visual inspection manner.

With continued reference to fig. 2 to 4, the carrier 10 is provided with a camera through hole 11, and the carrier 10 is provided with a first limiting body 12 and a second limiting body 13; the camera 20 is arranged on the carrier 10, and the lens body of the camera 20 is opposite to the camera through hole 11; the shielding assembly 30 comprises a driver 31 and a shielding cover 32, the driver 31 is arranged on the carrier 10, the shielding cover 32 is in driving connection with the driver 31 and can shield or open the camera 20, when the shielding cover 32 is in butt joint with the first limiting body 12, the shielding cover 32 is positioned at a position for shielding the camera 20, and when the shielding cover 32 is in butt joint with the second limiting body 13, the shielding cover 32 is positioned at a position for opening the camera 20.

In summary, implementing the technical scheme of the embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the camera module 100 of the above scheme is applied to the intelligent interaction device, and endows the intelligent interaction device with a camera function, so as to meet the requirements of users for photographing or video.

Specifically, when the camera shooting function is required to be used, the driver 31 drives the shielding cover 32 to move and abut against the second limiting body 13, the shielding cover 32 and the camera shooting through hole 11 are arranged in a staggered manner to open the camera 20, and the camera 20 can normally shoot or work in video; when the camera shooting function is not needed, the driver 31 drives the shielding cover 32 to move to be abutted against the first limiting body 12, and the shielding cover 32 is positioned above the camera shooting through hole 11 to shield the camera 20, so that the aim of privacy protection is fulfilled. In the whole working process, the shielding cover 32 is respectively abutted with the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13 when being in a shielding or opening position, so that the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13 can be positioned to avoid position deflection, a reliable privacy shielding effect can be obtained, and the whole machine is attractive. And because the physical limiting function of the first limiting body 12 is obtained, the shielding cover 32 does not need to be quite large to completely shield the view angle of the whole camera 20, so that an excessively large space is not required to be reserved for accommodating the shielding cover 32, and the miniaturized design of the camera module is facilitated.

Preferably, the shielding cover 32 just shields the Field angle (i.e., FOV) of the lens body of the camera 20; alternatively, the front projection area of the shielding cover 32 in the direction of the camera 20 is larger than the field angle area of the lens body of the camera 20. Thus, the design size of the shielding cover 32 can be minimized as much as possible, the occupation of the installation space is reduced, the reliable shielding of the camera 20 can be ensured, and the privacy protection capability of the camera module 100 is improved.

The shielding cover 32 is made of metal or plastic. Thereby meeting the production requirements of different products and improving the beautiful appearance.

In some embodiments, the driver 31 is configured to output a rotational driving force, and the driver 31 can drive the shielding cover 32 to rotatably shield or open the camera 20.

Compared with the driving mode of telescopic linear sliding by adopting an air cylinder or an electric push rod to drive a baffle in the prior art, the driver 31 drives the shielding cover 32 to rotate to shield or open the camera 20, so that the space requirement is lower, the miniaturization design of the camera module 100 is facilitated, and the action of the shielding cover 32 is more sensitive and reliable. In addition, compared with the existing mode that the motor indirectly drives the baffle to move through the gear pair and the like, the shielding cover 32 is directly driven to rotate by the driver 31, parts are fewer, the structure is simpler, cost reduction is facilitated, and operation reliability is higher.

With continued reference to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13 are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction, a receiving opening 40 is formed between the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13, and the shielding cover 32 passes through the receiving opening 40 and can swing reciprocally in the receiving opening 40. The receiving opening 40 thus formed provides a stroke required for rotation of the shielding cover 32, and the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13 are respectively disposed at two ends of the stroke path, so that a blocking and positioning effect can be achieved on two end positions of the shielding cover 32 where the camera 20 is shielded or opened, and the stable pose of the shielding cover 32 is ensured without deflection.

It should be noted that, the range of the angle set by the driver 31 and capable of driving the shielding cover 32 to rotate should be larger than the range of the arc angle of the accommodating opening 40, so that the shielding cover 32 can be ensured to be effectively abutted and positioned with the first limiting body 12 and the second limiting body 13 when rotating to the limit positions of the two ends.

With continued reference to fig. 5, in still other embodiments, the carrier 10 is provided with a mounting post 14, the mounting post 14 is provided with a mounting hole 141, and the shielding cover 32 includes a connecting post 321, and the connecting post 321 is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole 141. The connecting post 321 is coaxially inserted into the assembly hole 141, so that the shielding cover 32 can rotate around the center line of the connecting post 321 as a rotation center.

The assembly hole 141 is a through hole, the driver 31 is installed under the assembly hole 141, and the connection post 321 is connected with the driving shaft of the driver 31 to obtain power required for rotating the shielding cover 32. The direct connection has simple structure and high reliability.

Further, the camera module 100 further includes a support member 50, where the support member 50 is disposed between the hole wall of the assembly hole 141 and the connecting post 321. The supporting member 50 can play a role in installing and positioning the connecting post 321 in the assembly hole 141, and can reduce friction and abrasion between the connecting post 321 and the hole wall of the assembly hole 141 during rotation, so that the shielding cover 32 rotates more smoothly. In addition, since the shielding cover 32 is rotated in a narrow space after being mounted, it is necessary to ensure that the shielding cover 32 is in a horizontal state, and the supporting member 50 helps to ensure that the upper and lower surfaces of the shielding cover 32 are parallel, so that problems such as friction and jamming are avoided.

Specifically, the support 50 employs ball bearings. During installation, the inner ring of the ball bearing is sleeved on the connecting post 321 of the shielding cover 32, the outer ring of the ball bearing is sleeved in the assembly hole 141, and finally the inner ring and the outer ring are assembled into a whole through a plurality of balls.

With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, in addition, the shielding assembly 30 further includes a cover 60 according to any of the above embodiments, where the cover 60 is mounted on the mounting post 14 and covers the connecting post 321. The gland 60 is used for limiting the axial freedom of the shielding cover 32, and preventing the shielding cover 32 from loosening and falling under abnormal conditions such as frequent rotation or complete machine falling.

In order to avoid the excessive pressure of the gland 60 on the shielding cover 32 to affect the normal and smooth rotation of the shielding cover 32, the gland 60 is in clearance fit with the connecting post 321, and the assembly clearance is 0.04 mm-0.06 mm. For example, the assembly gap in this embodiment is 0.05mm.

In some embodiments, the shield assembly 30 further includes a threaded fastener by which the gland 60 is threadably secured to the mounting post 14. Alternatively, as an alternative to the above embodiment, one of the gland 60 and the mounting post 14 is provided with a clip body, and the other of the gland 60 and the mounting post 14 is provided with a bayonet, the clip body being snap-fitted to the bayonet. The gland 60 is simply installed by adopting a screw connection or a buckle connection, is convenient and labor-saving to assemble and disassemble, and has high connection reliability.

In still other embodiments, the shielding cover 32 is provided with a mounting hole, the driver 31 is configured as a motor, a driving shaft of the motor is inserted into the mounting hole to be fixed, and a shaft end surface of the driving shaft of the motor is located inside an orifice of the mounting hole. The assembly clearance between the driving shaft of the motor and the mounting hole is 0.03 mm-0.05 mm. This ensures that the assembly effect of the barrier cover 32 is not affected by the motor assembly. And the driving shaft of the motor does not extend out of the orifice of the mounting hole, so that interference in mounting of the veneer can be avoided.

In summary, the present application further provides an intelligent interaction device, which includes: the device host and the camera module 100 according to any of the embodiments described above, the camera module 100 is mounted on the device host.
