Specifically, the flexible circuit board 200 and the motherboard can be connected by the board-to-board connector 400, which can improve the stability of the electrical connection.
The flexible circuit board 200 is attached to the support 300, and thus, each segment of the flexible circuit board 200 can be supported by the support 300. The flexible circuit board 200 may be deformed as the bracket 300 is bent. During the movement of the mobile camera 100, the flexible circuit board 200 may be bent by extension or compression, and the support 300 may be bent accordingly, and the support 300 supports the flexible circuit board 200, so that the deformation of the flexible circuit board 200 follows the bending of the support 300.
According to the camera module disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the support 300 is additionally arranged to support the flexible circuit board 200, the flexible circuit board 200 is attached to the support 300, and the deformation of the support 300 can enable the flexible circuit board 200 to be deformed adaptively, so that the effective support of each section of the flexible circuit board 200 can be realized finally. In this case, in the process of deforming the flexible circuit board 200, the bracket 300 may make the folding and shrinking consistency of the flexible circuit board stronger, and may further improve the reliability of the flexible circuit board 200 in the stretching and retracting movement.
Each section of the flexible circuit board 200 is supported by the bracket 300, so that the flexible circuit board 200 can be stably supported, and the flexible circuit board is not easily damaged due to the stable support of the flexible circuit board 200 in the falling process of the mobile terminal with the structure.
In addition, each section of the flexible circuit board 200 can be well supported, so that the stability of supporting the flexible circuit board 200 is not required to be improved by fixing a longer end part, and the longer flexible circuit board 200 is not required to be adopted, which not only can save the consumable material of the flexible circuit board 200, but also can enable the middle area of the flexible circuit board 200 to be folded to occupy smaller space.

In order to achieve a better folding effect, it is preferable that at least two folding sections 331 are sequentially connected end to end, and two adjacent folding sections 331 are rotatably connected. In this case, at least two folding segments 331 can be formed into a zigzag structure, and finally, more regular bending shrinkage of the flexible circuit board 200 can be achieved.
In order to further reduce the space occupied by the camera module, it is preferable that the bracket 300 is disposed on one side of the mobile camera 100 and between the end surfaces of the two ends of the mobile camera 100. In this case, the bracket 300 does not extend beyond the end surfaces of the two ends of the mobile camera 100, and therefore, the occupied space of the camera module can be reduced.
Specifically, the folding lengths of the folding sections 331 in the shooting direction of the mobile camera 100 are equal, so that the flexible circuit board 200 can be folded more regularly, and the folding stability of the flexible circuit board can be further improved.
In order to avoid the flexible circuit board 200 from being separated from the bracket 300 due to irregular bending during the shrinking process, in a preferred embodiment, positioning pillars may be disposed on the surfaces of the first supporting end 310, the second supporting end 320 and the folding section 331 facing the flexible circuit board 200, a connection hole 210 may be disposed at a position of the flexible circuit board 200 opposite to the positioning pillars, the positioning pillars are disposed on the connection hole 210 in a penetrating manner, and the connection hole 210 extends along the stretching direction of the flexible circuit board 200. Specifically, the first supporting end 310 is provided with a positioning post 311, the second supporting end 320 is provided with a positioning post 321, and the folding section 331 is provided with a positioning post 332. In this case, the matching between the positioning posts and the connection holes 210 can stably ensure the uniformity of deformation between the flexible circuit board 200 and the support 300, so that the stability of supporting connection between the flexible circuit board 200 and the support 300 is ensured.
Specifically, the first supporting end 310, the second supporting end 320 and the folding section 331 can be provided with two positioning pillars arranged side by side, and correspondingly, a connecting hole is formed in a portion of the flexible circuit board 200 opposite to each positioning pillar.
In a preferred scheme, the bracket 300 may be a metal bracket, and the metal bracket has a good shielding function and can better meet the shielding requirement of the camera. In order to achieve better support and avoid damage to the flexible circuit board 200, the flexible circuit board 200 is located in the area of the supporting surface of the bracket 300, that is, the edge of the flexible circuit board 200 cannot exceed the corresponding edge of the bracket 300.
