Short-range light source device for image pick-up apparatus and image pick-up apparatus provided with same

摘要

The present invention discloses a short-range light source device for use with an image pick-up apparatus and the image pick-up apparatus provided with the same. The short-range light source device comprises a fixing base, multiple protective cap units, multiple light source units and multiple driving units. The fixing base constitutes a light receiving pathway corresponding to the lens of the image pick-up apparatus. Upon being driven by the driving units, the protective cap units are pivotally rotated in relation to the fixing base between a protective shielding position and an open position in a synchronous manner. Each of the light source units has a light exit face which is shielded and protected when the protective cap units are located at the shielding position and exposed when the protective cap units are located at the open position.

主权项

1. A short-range light source device for use with an image pick-up apparatus, wherein the image pick-up apparatus includes at least one lens and the short-range light source device is mounted in the image pick-up apparatus in a manner corresponding to the at least one lens, comprising:
a fixing base, constituting a light receiving pathway corresponding to the at least one lens; a plurality of protective cap units, adapted to pivotally rotate in relation to the fixing base between a protective shielding position and an open position in a synchronous manner; a plurality of light source units, each having a light exit face which is shielded and protected when the protective cap units are located at the shielding position and exposed in the case where the protective cap units are located at the open position; and a plurality of driving units for driving the protective cap units to pivotally rotate, wherein each of the driving units includes a pivot allowing pivotal rotation of one of the protective cap units in relation to the fixing base, and bevel gears mounted at both ends of the pivot and meshed with the adjacent driving units.
