In the present embodiment, the assembled rotation module 1, camera module 2, and locking mechanism 3 can be installed in the housing 41 of the casing 4, and the cover plate 42 is combined on the top of the housing 41, so that the base 11 is stably positioned in the casing 4, and the base 21 of the camera module 2 is located in the through hole 431 of the rotation cover 43, but in practical application, the structural design of the casing 4 can be omitted, and the rotation module 1, camera module 2, and locking mechanism 3 can be applied to the casing of a screen, a display, a network camera, or other electronic devices, so that the simple modification and equivalent structural changes that the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention are applied should be included in the scope of the present invention, and it is shown in the present disclosure.

Please refer to fig. 5, fig. 6, fig. 7 and fig. 8, which are a side view sectional view of the camera module before pressing, a side view sectional view after pressing, a top view before rotating and a top view after rotating, it can be clearly seen from the figures that, when the present invention is used, the base 21 of the camera module 2 can be pressed downwards first, the two shafts 231 of the pivot portion 23 rotate around the two shaft slots 1211 of the shaft portion 121, and causes the base 21 to fan-displace downwards towards the active space 120 of the rotating seat 12, and, at the same time, the driving shaft 241 of the pushing portion 24 will rotate and push against the guiding groove 3122 of the pushing portion 312, thereby slidably displacing the slider 31 of the lock gear 3 rearward in the limit groove 1221 of the assembling portion 122, so that the elastic element 32 is elastically compressed and deformed, and the guide rod 33 will slide along the circular track 311 of the slide block 31 for holding and positioning.

In the process of the fan-shaped displacement of the base 21 of the camera module 2, the driving shaft 241 of the pushing portion 24 is displaced backward into the recess 1201 at the rear of the movable space 120 without directly colliding with the rotating base 12, and after the slider 31 drives the guide rod 33 to separate from the limitation of the positioning end 3111 along the circulating track slot 311, the elastic element 32 can be released by releasing the base 21, and the slider 31 is driven to slide forward along the limiting channel 1221 of the assembling portion 122, and after the guide rod 33 is displaced along the circulating track slot 311 into the other positioning end 3111 of the circulating track slot 311, the base 21 can be connected to lower the camera 22 from the first position of the original lifting (opening) state to the second position of the closing (closing) state, so as to complete the first pressing and positioning actions of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the base 21 of the camera module 2 can utilize the above-mentioned pressing manner to store the camera 22 in the housing 4, and the camera 22 can be completely retracted into the through hole 431 of the rotating cover 43 without protruding, so as to prevent the camera 22 from being stained with fingerprints or dust due to the careless touch of the fingers of the user when the camera module 2 is not in use, and the camera module 2 can not occupy the external volume and space of the housing 4 after being stored, so that the overall height can be reduced and the camera module can be more thinned, thereby meeting the design requirements of light, thin, short and small products.

Conversely, when the user wants to open the camera module 2 from the through hole 431 on the surface of the rotary cover 43 of the housing 4, the user only needs to press down the base 21 of the camera module 2 again to make the base 21 move downward toward the movable space 120 of the rotary base 12 in a fan shape, and release the base 21 to the elastic element 32, so that the driving shaft 241 of the pushing portion 24 rotates and moves back, and further the pushing portion 312 of the slider 31 slides forward, and the guide rod 33 slides along the circulating track slot 311 of the slider 31 to abut and position, so that the base 21 can lift the camera 22 from the second position of the original closed (closed) state to the first position of the lifted (open) state, thereby completing the second pressing and positioning operation of the present invention, and the user can open or close the camera module 2 by pressing the base 21 of the camera module 2 twice to cooperate with the locking mechanism 3 to generate a circulating sliding and positioning manner, the camera module 2 can be conveniently adjusted to a predetermined angle for shooting, and the camera module 2 can be quickly folded into the casing 4, and the whole or the volume and space during storage cannot be occupied, however, the manner of how the locking mechanism 3 cooperates with the camera module 2 to perform secondary pressing to generate circular sliding and positioning is the scope of the prior art, and the structure of the detail is not the creation point of the present case, and no further description is given.

When the camera 22 of the camera module 2 is located at the first position (open state), the user can hold the surface of the base 21 of the camera module 2 to rotate the base 21 of the camera module 2 clockwise or counterclockwise by a predetermined angle, and the camera module 2 can rotate the rotary base 12 of the rotary module 1 in the rotating space 110 of the base 11, so that the two sliding surfaces 123 of the rotary base 12 slide on the two guide surfaces 111 of the base 11, and the angle of the camera module 2 can be smoothly adjusted, thereby increasing the range that the camera module 2 can shoot, so that the user can adjust the camera module 2 to a desired angle according to the use requirement to improve the convenience and market competitiveness, however, because the flat stop surfaces 112 are formed at the front and rear sides of the rotating space 110, when the two sliding surfaces 123 of the rotary base 12 contact the two stop surfaces 112, the camera module 2 can be rotated by a predetermined angle (about ± 90 °) by the two stopping surfaces 112, so as to prevent the transmission unit (such as a flat cable or a wire; not shown) of the camera module 2 connected to the external power supply from being broken due to excessive twisting.

The camera module 2 is preferably rotated manually, but in practical applications, a driving device (not shown) may be installed on the rotating base 12 of the rotating module 1, and the driving device is electrically connected to an external input interface (e.g., a controller), so that a user can use the external input interface to electrically start the driving device, and further drive the rotating base 12 to rotate.

The foregoing description is intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many modifications, variations or equivalents may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
