Abstract

The utility model relates to a fixing structure for an image pick-up module, in particular to a fixing structure used on a casing for fixing an image pick-up module. A holding space for holding the image pick-up module is concavely arranged on the side of the casing, and axle holes are arranged on the casing on the two opposite sides of the holding space to couple rotating shafts arranged at the two ends of the image pick-up module. By arranging an elastic clamping part in the casing, any two opposite positioning surfaces of eight positioning surfaces surrounding the outer wall of the rotating shaft can be clamped, and thus the image pick-up module can pick up images in multiple directions; by propping a first stopping part arranged at the outer end of the rotating shaft with a second stopping part arranged in the casing, the rotation range of the rotating shaft can be limited, therefore, the image pick-up module can be rotated appropriately, in order to protect the internal line.

Description

The fixed sturcture of image acquisition module

Technical field
