It should be noted that, during the movement of the reflective unit 320 in the receiving slot 103, the camera unit 310 is fixed in the receiving slot 103, that is, the camera unit 310 does not move with the reflective unit 320. So, when needs use the camera to shoot, only need with reflection of light unit 320 stretch out can, simplified the structure and can improve the anti-seismic performance of camera to a great extent.

When the light reflecting unit 320 is in the second position, the first optical path deflecting mirror 321 can reflect the light (light L1 shown in fig. 7) incident from the side where the display screen 200 is located to the first camera 311, so as to shoot and image the object on the side where the display screen 200 is located through the first camera 311, that is, the first camera 311 can be understood as a front camera. Meanwhile, the second optical path deflecting mirror 322 can reflect the light (light L2 shown in fig. 7) incident from the side facing away from the display screen 200 to the second camera 312, so as to shoot and image the object facing away from the side of the display screen 200 through the second camera 312, that is, the second camera 312 can be understood as a rear camera. As shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the first optical path deflecting mirror 321 and the second optical path deflecting mirror 322 may be reflective mirrors. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first light path deflecting mirror 321 and the second light path deflecting mirror 322 may also be isosceles right triangle shaped prisms. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the first light path deflecting mirror 321 and the second light path deflecting mirror 322 is a prism, and the other is a reflective mirror, as long as the light can be reflected to change the light path.

In the mobile terminal 10, when the mobile terminal 10 needs to perform front-end shooting, the first camera 311 shoots an object on one side of the display screen 200 through the first optical path deflecting mirror 321 and generates a first image signal, so that the processor of the mobile terminal 10 can acquire the generated first image signal and transmit the acquired first image signal to the display screen 200 for displaying the first image. When the mobile terminal 10 needs to perform post shooting, the second camera 312 shoots an object facing away from the side where the display screen 200 is located through the second optical path deflecting mirror 322 and generates a second image signal, so that the processor of the mobile terminal 10 can acquire the generated second image signal and transmit the acquired second image signal to the display screen 200 for displaying a second image. Of course, when the mobile terminal 10 needs to perform panoramic shooting, the user holds the mobile terminal 10 to rotate by a certain angle, and the processor of the mobile terminal 10 may simultaneously acquire the first image signal and the second image signal and synthesize the first image signal and the second image signal, and then transmit the synthesized image signal to the display screen 200 to display the panoramic image. For example, when the user holds the mobile terminal 10 to rotate 180 degrees horizontally, 360-degree panoramic photographing can be realized.

In an embodiment, the second camera 312 and the second optical path deflecting mirror 322 may be omitted.

The light ray at the side opposite to the display screen 200 can be projected on the second light path deflecting mirror 322 through the second light transmitting structure 324, and then, under the reflection action of the second light path deflecting mirror 322, the light ray is further reflected to the second camera 312. Thus, the first light-transmitting structure 323 and the second light-transmitting structure 324 not only enable light to penetrate through, but also can protect the first light path deflecting mirror 321 and the second light path deflecting mirror 322, and meanwhile can keep the appearance integrity of the first light path deflecting mirror 321 and the second light path deflecting mirror 322.

In this way, the camera unit 310 can perform the shooting operation without occupying the space on the side of the display 200 of the mobile terminal 10 or the space on the side of the rear cover 102, and the screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal 10 and the integrity of the rear cover 102 are effectively improved. In addition, when shooting, the camera unit 310 is in the accommodating groove 103, so that the anti-seismic performance of the camera can be greatly improved, and when the mobile terminal 10 collides or falls, the camera can be effectively prevented from being damaged, thereby improving the reliability of the mobile terminal 10.

An example of a possible way in which the driving mechanism 400 controls the light reflecting unit 320 will now be described:

for example, a trigger key may be provided on the side 130 of the body 100. The trigger key connects to a motherboard within the mobile terminal 10. When a user presses or touches the trigger key, the trigger key sends a trigger signal to the processor on the motherboard, and the processor controls the driving mechanism 400, so that the light reflecting unit 320 moves out of the accommodating slot 103 or retracts into the accommodating slot 103 under the control of the driving mechanism 400. In an embodiment, when a user needs to shoot, the user presses the trigger key once, so that the light reflecting unit 320 moves to a specified position (for example, a second position) outside the accommodating slot 103 under the control of the driving mechanism 400, at this time, the driving mechanism 400 stops working, and the light reflecting unit 320 can reflect external incident light to the camera unit 310, so that the user can perform operations such as video chat or self-shooting through the camera. When the user does not need to shoot, the user presses the trigger key once again, so that the light reflecting unit 320 can be retracted into the accommodating groove 103 under the control of the driving mechanism 400. Of course, the number of the triggering keys may be two, one triggering key is used for moving the light reflecting unit 320 to a specified position (for example, the second position) outside the receiving slot 103 under the control of the driving mechanism 400, and the other triggering key is used for retracting the light reflecting unit 320 to the receiving slot 103 under the control of the driving mechanism 400.

In other embodiments, the triggering key may also be a touch icon disposed on the display screen 200, and clicking the touch icon can send a related touch signal to a processor on the motherboard, and the processor receives the touch signal and executes a corresponding command according to the control signal, so that the driving mechanism 400 drives the light reflecting unit 320 to move out of the accommodating slot 103 or retract into the accommodating slot 103.

For example, the trigger keys may be a start shooting icon and an end shooting icon provided in the display screen 200. When the icon starts to be shot by touch, the icon starts to be shot and a first trigger signal is sent to the processor of the main board, and the processor receives the first trigger signal and controls the driving mechanism 400 to drive the light reflecting unit 320 to rotate to a specified position (for example, a second position) outside the accommodating groove 103, so that the camera can shoot under the shooting signal. When the shooting of the icon is finished by touching, the shooting-finished icon sends a second trigger signal to the processor of the main board, and the processor receives the second trigger signal and controls the driving mechanism 400 to drive the light reflecting unit 320 to retreat into the accommodating groove 103.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the claims. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which falls within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
