Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the mounting assembly 300 includes a mounting base 310 and a camera 320 disposed on the mounting base 310, the camera 320 can provide functions of video call, photography and the like for the mobile terminal 10, and a dust-proof glass 301 may be disposed on a light incident surface of the camera 320 to shield dust (see fig. 6). It is understood that in other embodiments, the mounting assembly 300 may further include at least one of the first device 330 and the second device 340 provided on the mounting base 310, and the first device 330 and the second device 340 may be a light sensor, a flash, or the like for assisting the camera 320 in photographing, or other functional devices independent of the photographing function of the camera 320, such as: iris discernment module, face identification module, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, microphone, fingerprint module etc.. The first device 330 and the second device 340 are two non-identical devices. The material of the mounting seat 310 may be, but is not limited to, metal, plastic, stainless steel, or the like.

Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the body 100 is provided with a receiving slot 1311. In one embodiment, the receiving slot 1311 is opened on the first side 131 of the body 100. Further, the receiving groove 1311 may be opened in the middle of the first side 131, that is, the receiving groove 1311 is located between the front surface 110 and the rear surface 120. Of course, the receiving groove 1311 may be opened at an edge of the first side 131 close to the rear surface 120. The mounting base 310 can move from a first position (shown in fig. 1) to a second position (shown in fig. 2 and 3) with the camera 320, when the mounting base 310 is at the first position, the mounting base 310 and the camera 320 are accommodated in the accommodating groove 1311, and when the mounting base 310 is at the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is located outside the accommodating groove 1311, that is, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is exposed out of the body 100. Thus, when the camera 320 is needed to shoot, the mounting seat 310 carries the camera 320 to move out of the accommodating groove 1311, so as to shoot, and after the shooting is finished, the mounting seat 310 carries the camera 320 to move into the accommodating groove 1311, so that the space occupied by the camera 320 on one side of the display screen 200 can be eliminated, the coverage rate of the display screen 200 on the front surface 110 is increased, and the screen occupation ratio of the display screen 200 is improved. It should be noted that, when the mounting assembly 300 includes the first device 330 and the second device 340, in this case, when the mounting base 310 is at the first position, the first device 330 and the second device 340 are received in the receiving slot 1311, and when the mounting base 310 is at the second position, the first device 330 and the second device 340 are exposed out of the receiving slot 1311.

In an embodiment, the mounting seat 310 is disposed in the receiving slot 1311 and can rotate relative to the body 100, and the mounting seat 310 can rotate to the outside of the receiving slot 1311 with the camera 320, so as to implement the shooting function of the camera 320. In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the mounting base 310 is perpendicular to a reference plane, which is a plane where the planar area of the display 200 is located, and may also be understood as a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis shown in fig. 1, such as an XZ plane). In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the mount 310 passes through the center of a reference line, the reference line is a connection line of the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on a reference plane, and the reference plane is a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera 320, that is, the rotation axis of the mount 310 is parallel to the optical axis of the camera 320. For convenience of description, the respective embodiments are explained below with reference to a reference plane. In one embodiment, the axis of rotation of the mount 310 passes through the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane. In other embodiments, the axis of rotation of the mount 310 passes through the center of a reference line, which is a line connecting the maximum widths of the orthographic projections of the mount 310 on the reference plane. For example, as shown in fig. 4, 6, and 7, when the orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane includes a region shaped as a major arc arch, the connecting line of the maximum width is the diameter of a circle circumscribing the major arc arch region. In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 310 on the reference plane includes an area in the shape of a major arc arch, and the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the accommodating groove 1311 on the reference plane coincides with the center of a circle circumscribing the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 310 on the reference plane. In this way, the space of the storage tub 1311 can be used to the maximum extent, and the structure is more compact.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 7, the mounting seat 310 includes a first outer peripheral surface 311 and a second outer peripheral surface 312, an orthographic projection of the first outer peripheral surface 311 on a reference plane is a straight line, an orthographic projection of the second outer peripheral surface 312 on the reference plane is an arc, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is flush with the first side surface 131 when the mounting seat 310 is at the first position, and the first outer peripheral surface 311 is offset from the first side surface 131 when the mounting seat 310 is at the second position. The misalignment between the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the first side surface 131 includes the following two cases: the first outer circumferential surface 311 intersects or is parallel to the first side surface 131. Taking fig. 2 as an example, when the mounting seat 310 is at the second position, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is parallel to the first side surface 110. At this time, the mount 310 is rotated by 180 degrees, and an orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane when the mount 310 is in the first position and an orthographic projection of the mount 310 on the reference plane when the mount 310 is in the second position are centrosymmetric with respect to the orthographic projection of the rotation axis of the mount 310 on the reference plane. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first outer peripheral surface 311 intersects the first side surface 110 when the mount 310 is in the second position. At this time, the mount 310 is rotated by an angle less than 180 degrees. It should be noted that, the angle of rotation required for the mounting seat 310 to move from the first position to the second position may be selected according to actual use requirements, and is not limited herein, as long as the mounting seat 310 can rotate a certain angle to expose the camera 320 to the body 100.

The image capturing surface (i.e., the light incident surface) of the camera 320 faces the front surface 110, i.e., the side where the display screen 200 is located, and serves as a front camera. In an embodiment, the light incident surface of the camera 320 may also be away from the side where the display screen 200 is located, and used as a rear camera. Certainly, the mounting base 310 may also be provided with two cameras 320 at the same time, image capturing surfaces of the two cameras 320 face to one side of the display screen 200 and one side of the display screen 200 away from the one side of the display screen 200, that is, the two cameras are used as a front camera and a rear camera, at this time, when shooting is not needed, the front camera and the rear camera of the mobile terminal 10 can be hidden in the accommodating groove 1311, when shooting is needed by using the front camera or the rear camera, the mounting base 310 rotates to the second position, and light incident surfaces of the two cameras 320 are respectively exposed on one side of the display screen 200 and on one side of the display screen 200.

In an embodiment, the functional devices such as the camera 320, the first device 330, the second device 340, and the like may implement wireless data transmission with the main board of the mobile terminal 10 through the chip disposed on the mounting base 310. The following description will be given by taking the camera 320 as an example. In one embodiment, the body 100 includes a first uhf communication chip (not shown), the mounting assembly 300 includes a second uhf communication chip (not shown) disposed on the mounting base 310, the camera 320 is capable of being communicatively coupled to the second uhf communication chip, and the second hf communication chip is paired with the first uhf communication chip when the mounting base 310 is in the second position to enable the first uhf communication chip to be communicatively coupled to the second uhf communication chip.

In one embodiment, the first and second extreme high frequency communication chips are both extreme high frequency communication chips. The extremely high frequency communication chip is an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip in which an EHF (extremely high frequency) antenna is packaged, and when the two extremely high frequency communication chips are close enough, pairing can be completed to perform wireless communication. An example of an extremely high frequency communication chip is an EHF common link chip. The terms "common link chip," "common link chip package," and "EHF comm-link chip package" are used to refer to an EHF antenna embedded in an IC package. Examples of the chip for very high frequency communication can refer to the information described in the U.S. patent application publication nos. 2012/0263244 and 2012/0307932, and also refer to the information disclosed in chinese patent publications CN103563166A and CN 104145380A.

An example of an extremely high frequency communication chip can be found in the chinese granted patent publication No. CN 105264785B. The image collector of the camera equipped with the extremely high frequency communication chip (second extremely high frequency communication chip) can realize high-speed wireless transmission of data (for example, a transmission speed up to 6 GB/s) based on a high carrier frequency (for example, 60GHz) with the main board of the mobile terminal 10 equipped with the extremely high frequency communication chip (first extremely high frequency communication chip).

It can be understood that the high carrier frequency-based near field communication has the advantages of low power consumption, small volume, high transmission rate, non-contact transmission and the like, can also realize the function of a plug-and-play module, can greatly improve the signal integrity, support more flexible system realization, reduce the standby power consumption, increase the bandwidth amplitude and the safety of data transmission, and is compatible with the support of high-speed video signals and the like.

It will be appreciated that the high carrier frequency may be a carrier frequency that enables high speed wireless transmission of data. The high carrier frequency may be a specific carrier frequency, or may be a carrier frequency band, for example, 30GHz to 300GHz, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the high carrier frequency is 60 GHz.

In other embodiments, the functional devices such as the camera 320, the first device 330, the second device 340, etc. may also implement data transmission with the main board of the mobile terminal 10 through the flexible circuit board disposed in the mounting base 310. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the mounting assembly 300 includes a first flexible circuit board 360 disposed on the mounting base 310, and the camera 320 and other functional devices can be electrically connected to the main board of the mobile terminal 10 through the first flexible circuit board 360.

Thus, the overall thickness of the installation driving module can be further reduced, and the overall thickness of the mobile terminal 10 can be further reduced. In an embodiment, the fixing base 410 is completely or partially inserted into the clearance area 3602.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 11, 13 and 14, the driving mechanism assembly 400 includes a second flexible circuit board 430 (i.e., a flexible board), the second flexible circuit board 430 includes a curling portion 431 wound around the driver 420 and received in the receiving slot 411, a first external portion 432 connected to one end of the curling portion 431 and disposed outside the receiving slot 411, and a second external portion 433 connected to the other end of the curling portion 431 and disposed outside the receiving slot 411, the first external portion 432 is provided with a third connector 4321 engaged with the first connector 3611, and the second external portion 433 is provided with a fourth connector 4331 electrically connected to the main board of the mobile terminal 10.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 13 and 15, the mounting assembly 300 includes a first pressure plate 391 and a second pressure plate 392 connected to the second surface 360b of the first flexible circuit board 360, the first pressure plate 391 presses against the sixth portion 366 to secure the sixth portion 366 to the mount 310, and the second pressure plate 392 presses against the seventh portion 367 to secure the seventh portion 367 to the mount 310. In an embodiment, the mounting assembly 300 further includes a third pressing plate 393 fixed to the mounting base 310, and the third pressing plate 393 presses against a side of the first external portion 432 away from the second portion 362, so that the third connector 4321 is mated with the first connector 3611, and a defect of poor electrical connection between the first connector 3611 and the third connector 4321 is avoided. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting base 310 may further include a decorative ring 302 to seal and decorate the first pressure plate 391, the second pressure plate 392, the third pressure plate 393, and the electronic components.

An example of a possible way in which the drive mechanism assembly 400 described above controls the mounting assembly 300 is now 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 the 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 assembly 400, so that the mounting base 310 rotates out of the receiving slot 1311 or retracts into the receiving slot 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400. In an embodiment, when a user needs to use the camera 320 to shoot, the user presses the trigger key once, so that the mounting base 310 can rotate to a specific position (for example, a second position) outside the receiving slot 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400, at this time, the driving mechanism assembly 400 stops working, and the user can use the camera 320 to perform video chat or self-timer operation. When the user does not need to use the camera 320 to shoot, the user presses the trigger key once again to retract the mounting seat 310 into the receiving slot 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400. Of course, the number of the triggering keys may be two, one triggering key is used for rotating the mounting base 310 to the outside of the receiving slot 1311 to a designated position (for example, the second position) under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400, and the other triggering key is used for retracting the mounting base 310 to the inside of the receiving slot 1311 under the control of the driving mechanism assembly 400.

In other embodiments, the trigger 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 driver 400 drives the mounting base 310 to rotate out of the accommodating slot 1311 or retract into the accommodating slot 1311.

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 to be shot is touched, the icon to be shot sends a first trigger signal to the processor of the motherboard, and the processor receives the first trigger signal and controls the driver 400 to drive the mounting seat 310 to rotate to a specified position (for example, a second position) outside the accommodating groove 1311, so that the camera 320 can shoot under the shooting signal. When the shooting icon is touched to be finished, the shooting finishing icon sends a second trigger signal to the processor of the mainboard, and the processor receives the second trigger signal and controls the driver 400 to drive the mounting seat 310 to retreat into the accommodating groove 1311.

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.
