The present invention provides a camera device, in particular, a base on a shaft portion at the rear of the accommodating portion is a pivoting seat pivotally connected with a camera module, and the base is adjacent to the other side of the shaft portion. A locking mechanism is arranged in the channel. When the rotating seat is pressed twice and the shaft portion is displaced as a shaft, the pushing portion of the rotating portion is rotated and pushed against the sliding portion of the sliding block, so that the rotating seat is in the ascending open state. The first position or the second position of the lowered closed state, and the drive shaft is divided into the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant as the center point coordinates across the rotation axis.

According to the development of today's technology and the Internet, and the advent of the digital video era, video communication has become a mature imaging technology, and its application range is quite widespread and extensive, such as the transmission of video images. The Internet has been rapidly transmitted to the world in a very short period of time, making video communication an indispensable and important application in daily life, and most of the screens or monitors on desktop computers or notebook computers. A camera is built, and the camera is fixed inside the frame of the casing, so that the lens of the camera can be captured through the through hole in the casing to capture the image and has the function of video communication, and some external network cameras or monitoring devices After the camera is installed inside the casing, the Internet can be used for instant connection in the field, which can be used for conversations between friends and relatives, aerial teaching, corporate cross-regional video conferencing, etc., and then pull in the time and space between people. distance.

Since the camera on the screen or display is fixed inside the frame of the housing, the camera cannot adjust the angle unless it moves with the housing. If the user wants to turn the notebook or move the body to obtain the desired angle of photography, It will cause the camera to be very inconvenient to use, and it is extremely unfavorable for the user to watch the screen or operate. The camera of the external network camera or monitoring device can adjust the required angle of photography through the rotating shaft, but it will not be used when it is not used. Can not be folded, the overall appearance is quite abrupt, and there is a large volume and lack of space, and the camera is exposed outside the casing, it is easy to touch the fingerprint caused by the user's finger accidentally touching the camera Or dust, etc.

In order to improve the above problems, some manufacturers have designed a camera device that is attached to the shaft portion of the base for the pivoting seat of the camera module, and a camera is mounted inside the rotating seat. When the second pressing is performed on the rotating seat, the driving shaft of the rotating base can be rotated and pushed downward to lower the sliding mechanism of the locking mechanism to generate a cyclic slipping resistance and positioning, so that the rotating seat can be opened or lowered and closed. Action, but because the locking mechanism is disposed between the base and the camera module, and the space occupied by the drive shaft of the rotary seat is pivoted in front of the slider, the overall volume cannot be effectively reduced, resulting in a production facility. The cost of the demand is also relatively high, which is the key to the research and improvement of those who want to work in this industry.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems and shortcomings, the new creators have been collecting and researching relevant materials through various evaluations and trials, and using the continuous trial and modification of the years of R&D experience in this industry, a new type of camera device was born.

The main purpose of the present invention is to have a receiving portion on the surface of the base and a shaft portion at the rear of the receiving portion, and the shaft portion is pivotally connected with a rotating shaft of the camera module behind the rotating seat and a camera mounted in the inner chamber of the rotating seat, and then a pushing portion with a driving shaft protruding downward from the rotating shaft adjacent to the rotating shaft, and the base is adjacent to the limit at the other side of the shaft portion The locking mechanism disposed in the channel comprises a slider, an elastic member positioned between the slider and the limiting channel, and a guiding rod for slidingly resisting and positioning in the circulating rail groove extending on the surface of the slider, and sliding The side of the block is provided with a pushing portion for pivoting the driving shaft. When the rotating seat is pressed twice and the shaft portion is displaced as a shaft, the pushing portion of the block is rotated and pushed against the sliding portion of the sliding block. The rotating seat is located in the first position of the rising open state or the second position of the falling closed state, and the driving shaft is divided into the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant which are divided into the central point coordinates by the rotating shaft.

The secondary purpose of the present invention is that when the user presses the rotating seat of the camera module twice and the shaft portion is used as the axis in the housing portion of the base, the thrust can be pushed by the pushing portion to the slider. The moving portion generates a cyclic slip and positioning, so that the rotating base performs the action of ascending, opening, closing and closing, and the driving shaft is divided into the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant which are divided into the central point coordinate across the rotating shaft, and is permeable. The driving shaft is pivotally connected to the pushing portion on the side of the slider, so that the locking mechanism does not affect the path when the rotating seat is lifted and lowered on the base, and the locking mechanism is disposed on the base and the camera module. The drive shaft is caused to rotate in front of the slider to push against the space occupied thereon, so that the overall volume is reduced and the cost is cheaper.

Another object of the present invention is that a housing is further mounted on the outside of the base, so that the rotating seat of the camera module can be folded into the housing by the above-mentioned pressing method, and the camera can be completely retracted into the through hole of the outer casing. It does not protrude inside, so as to prevent fingerprints or dust from being attached to the camera due to inadvertent touch of the user's finger when the camera device is not in use, and the camera module does not occupy the space outside the casing after being folded.
