when the camera view is needed, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, fig. 1 shows the pressing direction of the camera 200, fig. 4 shows the connection relationship of the components in the bottom shell 110, the user presses the camera 200 according to the direction in fig. 1, the camera 200 moves along the-Y direction to drive the first end 310 fixedly connected with the camera to move, and further drive the whole support 300 to move along the-Y direction, at this time, the elastic member 500 is further compressed, and since the bottom shell 110 is fixed on the frame body 02, the second end 420 of the hook 400 is fixed and does not move, therefore, the support 300 moves along the-Y direction to drive the hook portion 350 to move along the-Y direction, so that the first end 410 of the hook 400 is separated from the hook portion 350, and the first end 410 of the hook 400 swings at a certain angle around the second end 420 of the hook 400 with the connecting rod 430, the first end 410 of the hook 400 slides into the sliding groove 340 along the groove formed by the third side 345 and the outer surface of the hanging part 350;

when the user stops pressing the camera 200 after the hook 400 is disengaged from the hook portion 350, the compressed elastic member 500 releases the elastic potential energy, the bracket 300 is driven to move in the Y direction under the elastic force of the elastic member 500 in the Y direction, the first end 410 of the hook 400 slides in the sliding slot 340 through the connecting rod 430, so that the first end 310 of the bracket 300 drives the camera 200 fixed thereon to move in the Y direction, the camera 200 passes through the viewing window of the frame 200 and is ejected to the outside of the frame 02, as shown in fig. 2, 7 and 8, fig. 2 shows the final position of the upward movement of the camera 200, fig. 7 shows the connection relationship of the components in the bottom case 110, fig. 8 shows the matching relationship between the hook 400 and the sliding slot 340 when the camera 200 is in the final position of the upward movement, when the first end 410 of the hook 400 moves to the first end 410 to abut against the bottom surface of the sliding slot 340 through the connecting rod 430, the movement of the support 300 is finished, the camera 200 reaches the final position, and at this time, the camera 200 performs the framing operation;

after the view of the camera 200 is finished, as shown in fig. 3, 7 and 8, fig. 3 shows a schematic process of retracting the camera 200 downward, fig. 7 shows a connection relationship of components in the bottom case 110, fig. 8 shows a matching relationship between the hook 400 and the sliding groove 340 when the camera 200 is at the final position of moving upward, a user presses the camera 200 according to the direction in fig. 1, the camera 200 moves along the-Y direction to drive the first end 310 fixedly connected with the camera to move, and further drive the whole bracket 300 to move along the-Y direction, at this time, the first end 410 of the hook 400 leaves the bottom surface of the sliding groove 340, the first end 410 of the hook 400 slides in the sliding groove 340 with the connecting rod 430, the elastic member 500 retracts and deforms, the first end 410 of the hook 400 slides into the hanging portion 350 along the groove formed by the third side surface 345 and the outer surface of the hanging portion 350 after sequentially passing through the first side surface 341 and the first inclined surface 343, so that the hook 400 is hooked in the hooking part 350, at this time, the camera 200 is retracted into the frame body 02, and the elastic member 500 is in a compressed state.

In addition, the present exemplary embodiment provides a mobile terminal 00, where the mobile terminal 00 includes a frame 02, the frame 02 has a view window, and further includes any one of the above-mentioned camera modules 01, the camera module 01 extends into the view window, and the casing 100 is fixed in the frame 02, as can be seen from the above description, the elastic member 500 and the hook 400 cooperate to move to enable the camera 200 to pop up and retract relative to the frame 02, so that the mobile terminal 00 can implement a camera function, and the implementation of the camera function does not affect the simplicity of the appearance and the comprehensiveness of the display of the mobile terminal 00.

The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present application, and shall be covered by the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
