In order to solve the above problems, the present utility model provides an image pickup apparatus. The camera device can prevent rainwater from striking the window and ensure that the camera shoots a complete picture.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 5, the image pickup apparatus provided by the present utility model includes a camera 1, a window 15 of the camera 1 is disposed at a front end 11, and a lens of the camera 1 is located behind the window 15. When the camera 1 shoots a picture, light from an object enters the lens from the window 15 and is focused by the lens to be projected on the photosensitive element to form an image.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the image capturing apparatus further includes a cover 2, and the cover 2 is covered over the camera 1. The hood 2 includes a rain shield 21, the rain shield 21 extending beyond the front end 11 of the camera 1 to protect the window 15 of the camera 1 below the rain shield 21, thereby preventing rain from impinging on the window 15.

The rain shield 21 is made of a transparent material. Thus, even if the rain shielding portion 21 extends into the field of view of the lens, light from the object can enter the lens through the window 15 through the rain shielding portion 21, thereby ensuring that the camera 1 captures a complete picture. In addition, the rain shielding part 21 can be made larger, and the rain shielding part 21 can be positioned in the view field of the lens, so that the rain shielding part 21 can prevent rainwater from striking the window 15 of the camera 1 when the rainwater amount is larger and the wind is larger, and the complete picture shot by the camera 1 is not influenced.

It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, a portion of the rain shield 21 extends beyond the front end 11 of the camera 1, and another portion is located above the camera 1; in other embodiments, the rain shield 21 extends entirely beyond the front end 11 of the camera 1.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the rain shielding portion 21 includes a rain shielding top wall 211, a first rain shielding side wall 212 and a second rain shielding side wall 213, where the first rain shielding side wall 212 and the second rain shielding side wall 213 are opposite and spaced apart, and the rain shielding top wall 211 is connected to one ends of the first rain shielding side wall 212 and the second rain shielding side wall 213 to form an inverted U-shaped avoidance space 214. Thus, the rain shielding top wall 211, the first rain shielding side wall 212 and the second rain shielding side wall 213 shield the window 15 from the upper side and the both sides, respectively, of the window 15, thereby preventing rainwater from being applied to the window 15 from the upper side or the both sides of the window 15. The escape space 214 allows a portion of the light to enter the window 15 directly without passing through the rain shield 21.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in some embodiments, the shroud 2 further includes a sunshade 22, the sunshade 22 covering the camera 1, at least a portion of the sunshade 22 being spaced from the camera 1 and covering the top end 12 of the camera 1. Thereby, sunlight can be prevented from directly irradiating the camera 1, and a gap is left between the sunshade 22 and the camera 1, which is advantageous for heat dissipation of the camera 1.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the sunshade 22 includes a sunshade top wall 221, a first sunshade side wall 222 and a second sunshade side wall 223, the first sunshade side wall 222 and the second sunshade side wall 223 are opposite and spaced apart, the sunshade top wall 221 is connected to one ends of the first sunshade side wall 222 and the second sunshade side wall 223 to form an inverted U-shaped accommodating space 224, the camera 1 is at least partially accommodated in the accommodating space 224, and the sunshade top wall 221 is spaced apart from the camera 1. Thereby, the sunshade top wall 221, the first sunshade side wall 222, and the second sunshade side wall 223 respectively shade the upper side and the both sides of the camera 1, thereby preventing sunlight from directly irradiating the camera 1 from the upper side or the both sides of the camera 1.

With the above embodiment, in order for the sunshade 22 to function to prevent sunlight from directly illuminating the camera 1: in some of these embodiments, the sunshade 22 is made of a non-transparent material; in other embodiments, the body of the sunshade 22 is made of a transparent material, and the surface of the body of the sunshade 22 is coated with a non-transparent material to make the sunshade 22.

In some embodiments, one end of the rain shield 21 is fixedly coupled to one end of the sunshade 22.

Illustratively, in some embodiments, the rain shield 21 and the sunshade 22 are integrally formed. For example: the rain shielding portion 21 and the sunshade portion 22 are integrally formed by ultrasonic welding, two-shot molding, or the like. For another example: the shield 2 is made of a transparent material, and the shield 2 is sprayed, and a part which is not sprayed during spraying forms a rain shielding part 21, and a part which is sprayed during spraying forms a sunshade part 22.

One end of the rain shielding portion 21 and one end of the sun shielding portion 22 may be fixedly connected by means of a threaded connection, a snap 225 connection, an adhesive connection, or the like. The manner of fixing the one end of the rain shielding portion 21 and the one end of the sunshade 22 is not limited to the above, as long as the one end of the rain shielding portion 21 and the one end of the sunshade 22 can be fixedly connected.

In some embodiments, the sunshade 22 is secured to the camera 1. Thus, the rain shielding portion 21 fixedly connected to the sunshade 22 is also fixedly provided to the camera 1. When the sunshade 22 is fixed to the camera 1, the rain shade 21 is fixed to the camera 1. In other words, the rain shield 21 protects the window 15 of the camera 1 in a fixed position, regardless of whether the rain is large or not, and regardless of whether the wind is large, there is no need to adjust the position of the rain shield 21.

Referring to fig. 1-5, in some embodiments, the shroud 2 is coupled to the camera 1 clasp 225. Specifically, the sunshade 22 is provided with a buckle 225, the camera 1 is provided with a matching hole 13, and the matching hole 13 is matched with the buckle 225. The clip 225 of the cover 2 can be coupled to the camera 1 by simply clipping the clip 225 into the fitting hole 13, whereby the cover 2 can be easily assembled to the camera 1. Of course, the positions of the catch 225 and the mating hole 13 may be interchanged, namely: in other embodiments, the buckle 225 is disposed on the camera 1, and the mating hole 13 is formed on the sunshade 22.

In some embodiments, to ensure stability of the connection of the cover 2 and the camera 1, the cover 2 and the camera 1 form a snap 225 connection at multiple locations. Illustratively, the first sunshade sidewall 222 and the second sunshade sidewall 223 are provided with a buckle 225, the mating hole 13 is opened in the camera 1, and the opening position of the mating hole 13 corresponds to the position of the buckle 225. To facilitate the snap 225 being snapped into the mating hole 13 and to facilitate the snap 225 being pulled out of the mating hole 13, the first sunshade sidewall 222 and the second sunshade sidewall 223 are both elastic members.

When the buckle 225 is clamped into the matching hole 13, the buckle 225 on the first sunshade sidewall 222 can be clamped into the corresponding matching hole 13, at this time, the first sunshade sidewall 222 and the second sunshade sidewall 223 respectively abut against two sides of the camera 1, and then the buckle 225 on the second sunshade sidewall 223 is clamped into the corresponding matching hole 13. Since the first and second sunshade sidewalls 222 and 223 are each elastic members, the above process can be conveniently performed. Of course, when the buckle 225 is snapped into the mating hole 13, the buckle 225 on the second sunshade sidewall 223 may be snapped into the corresponding mating hole 13, and then the buckle 225 on the first sunshade sidewall 222 may be snapped into the corresponding mating hole 13.

When the buckle 225 is pulled out of the matching hole 13, the first sunshade side wall 222 can be separated from the camera 1 only by applying force to the lower edge of the first sunshade side wall 222, and the buckle 225 on the first sunshade side wall 222 is pulled out of the corresponding matching hole 13. Then, the lower edge of the second sunshade sidewall 223 is forced, so that the buckle 225 on the second sunshade sidewall 223 can be pulled out of the corresponding matching hole 13. Since the first and second sunshade sidewalls 222 and 223 are each elastic members, the above process can be conveniently performed. Of course, when the buckle 225 is pulled out of the mating hole 13, the buckle 225 on the second sunshade sidewall 223 may be pulled out of the corresponding mating hole 13, and then the buckle 225 on the first sunshade sidewall 222 may be pulled out of the corresponding mating hole 13.

It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the shroud 2 and the camera 1, a plurality of buckles 225 may be provided on each of the first sunshade sidewall 222 and the second sunshade sidewall 223, and correspondingly, a plurality of mating holes 13 may be provided on the camera 1. To accommodate the structure of the shroud 2 and camera 1, the different positions of the snaps 225 may differ in shape and size, and correspondingly, the different positions of the mating holes 13 may differ in shape and size.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, in some embodiments, a positioning post 226 is disposed on the sunshade top wall 221, a positioning hole 14 is disposed on the camera 1, the positioning hole 14 is matched with the positioning post 226, and when the positioning post 226 is inserted into the positioning hole 14, the buckle 225 is aligned with the matching hole 13. Thus, no manual alignment of the holes is required when the catch 225 is snapped into the mating hole 13, specifically: the positioning post 226 is inserted into the positioning hole 14, the buckle 225 is convenient for the automatic alignment of the matching hole 13, and then the buckle 225 can be directly clamped into the matching hole 13. Of course, the positions of the positioning posts 226 and the positioning holes 14 may be interchanged, namely: in other embodiments, the positioning post 226 is disposed on the camera 1, and the positioning hole 14 is formed on the sunshade top wall 221.

In some embodiments, the positioning posts 226 are "cross-shaped" and the positioning holes 14 are "cross-shaped" blind holes. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning post 226 and the positioning hole 14 may be shaped differently, for example: polygonal, elliptical. The shapes of the positioning post 226 and the positioning hole 14 are not limited to the above, as long as the buckle 225 can be aligned with the mating hole 13 when the positioning post 226 is inserted into the positioning hole 14.

Further, in order to ensure positioning accuracy and stability, in some embodiments, at least two positioning posts 226 are provided, and the positioning posts 226 are spaced apart. Accordingly, at least two positioning holes 14 are provided, and the positions of the positioning holes 14 correspond to the positions of the positioning posts 226. Each of the positioning posts 226 is inserted into a corresponding one of the positioning holes 14. In these embodiments, the shapes of the positioning posts 226 and the positioning holes 14 may be different, as long as the walls of the positioning holes 14 limit the positions of the positioning posts 226, for example: referring to fig. 4 and 5, the positioning post 226 is in a cross shape, the positioning hole 14 is a circular blind hole, and after the positioning post 226 is inserted into the positioning hole 14, the outermost side of the positioning post 226 contacts with the wall of the positioning hole 14.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in some embodiments, to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the outer wall of the shroud 2, both the sunshade 22 and the rain shield 21 are arched.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

The above examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the utility model, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the utility model, which are all within the scope of the utility model.
