Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing bracket 110 is optionally a housing of the terminal device, and more specifically, the housing may be a rear shell and a side frame of the terminal device. The housing has a receiving groove 111 (please refer to fig. 3), and the receiving groove 111 is used for receiving the camera unit 120 in the reset state. Optionally, the camera unit 120 is completely accommodated in the accommodating groove 111 in the reset state and does not protrude from the outer surface of the terminal device housing, so that the outer surface of the terminal device housing is in a flat state, and the overall structure of the terminal device is more aesthetic. Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 5, wherein fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fully reset state of the camera unit 120.

The camera unit 120 includes a housing 121 and a camera module 122 embedded in the housing 121; the specific structural features of the camera module 122 are within the understanding of those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein. Alternatively, the housing 121 is hinged to the fixed bracket 110 by a rotating shaft 102 (a long axis of a dotted line in fig. 4).

Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6 together, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the control mechanism in the embodiment of fig. 5, in this embodiment, the control mechanism 140 includes an operation button 141 and an operation link 142, one end of the operation button 141 is protruded on the outer surface of the terminal device housing (the fixing bracket 110), the other end is connected to the operation link 142, and an end of the operation link 142 is used for supporting the position-locking protrusion 123 clamped in the position-locking groove 112, so that the position-locking protrusion 123 is released from being clamped with the position-locking groove 112, and the camera unit 120 is rotated and popped out by the driving force of the driving mechanism 130. The operation button 141 can be supported against the terminal device housing (the fixing bracket 110) by a spring 143 to generate an elastic restoring force of the operation button 141.

Further, referring to fig. 6, an arc-shaped protrusion 144 is disposed on a side surface of an end of the operation link 142, which is acted on by the position-locking protrusion 123, and the position-locking protrusion 123 is pressed against by the arc-shaped protrusion 144, optionally, in the embodiment, a moving direction of the operation link 142 is perpendicular to an acting force direction of the position-locking protrusion 123, that is, an X direction in the figure is a moving direction of the operation link 142, and a Y direction is an acting force direction of the position-locking protrusion 123. The operating mechanism in this embodiment is simple, but the back side of the arc-shaped protrusion 144 requires a holding force which provides a force F of the arc-shaped protrusion 144 against the catching protrusion 123, or the operating link 142 needs to move in the slide groove (not shown).

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the operating mechanism, in which the operating mechanism includes an operating button 141 and an operating link 145. Specifically, the operation link 145 includes a first link 1451 and a second link 1452, the first link 1451 having one end connected to the operation button 141 and the other end hinged to one end of the second link 1452, and the second link 1452 having a middle portion hinged to the housing (the fixed bracket 110) of the terminal device.
