固定件13与柔性连接线12连接，用于固定摄像头本体11。具体地，在本实施方式中，可以将固定件13通过焊接、胶合、卡合、螺合中的一种或几种方式与柔性连接线12连接。在此不做限定。
其中，摄像头本体11可离开凹槽通过柔性连接线12绕预设方向折叠，并通过固定件13固定至预设位置。具体地，在用户手动作用下，或者在移动终端的控制下，通过柔性连接线12沿预设方向带动摄像头本体11绕预设方向折叠，并通过固定件13固定至预设位置。在本实施方式中，当柔性连接线12沿预设的朝向显示屏的方向运动时，带动摄像头本体11绕朝向显示屏的方向折叠，使摄像头本体11离开凹槽，并通过固定件13固定至预设位置上。在其他实施方式中，当柔性连接线12沿预设的相反方向运动时，带动摄像头本体11绕预设的相反方向折叠，使摄像头本体11靠近凹槽，并通过固定件13固定至预设位置上。。
本实施方式提供的可折叠摄像头模组包括：摄像头本体，摄像头本体容置于移动终端外表面的凹槽内；柔性连接线，柔性连接线的一端与摄像头本体连接；固定件，固定件与柔性连接线区别于摄像头本体处连接，用于固定摄像头本体；其中，摄像头本体可离开凹槽通过柔性连接线绕预设方向折叠，并通过固定件固定至预设位置。通过上述方式，能够利用柔性连接线的可绕折性，使摄像头本体通过柔性连接线绕预设方向折叠，并通过固定件固定至预设位置，使摄像头本体的镜头能够朝向不同方向，能够仅通过一个摄像头就可实现不同角度的拍摄，从而减少了摄像头的数目，有利于移动终端结构简化，降低了移动终端的成本和功耗。
参阅图2，图2是本发明提供的可折叠摄像头模组另一实施方式的结构示意图。在本实施方式中，固定件23包括锁位件231和折叠件232。
具体地，锁位件231设置在摄像头本体21上，且在锁位件231上设有卡扣2311。其中，锁位件231和卡扣2311在摄像头本体21上的具体位置可以根据应用需求设置，此处并不限定。锁位件231和卡扣2311的数量也可以根据应用需求设置，此处并不限定。
折叠件232设置在柔性连接线22的中间部位，折叠件232上设有与卡扣2311相匹配的卡槽2321。需要指出的是，这里的中间部位是指摄像头本体与电路板之间的柔性连接线。折叠件232在柔性连接线22上的具体位置可以根据锁位件231的具体位置设置，折叠件232的数量也可以根据锁位件231的数量设置，卡槽2321与卡扣2311相匹配。具体地，卡扣2311与卡槽2321的位置对应。
其中，摄像头本体21可通过锁位件231与折叠件232之间的柔性连接线22绕预设方向折叠，当摄像头本体21折叠至预设位置上时，卡扣2331与卡槽2332扣合，使得摄像头本体21在预设位置上固定。具体地。在本实施方式中，当摄像头本体21远离凹槽并绕预设方向折叠到预设位置时，卡扣2311与卡槽2321卡合。在其他实施方式中，摄像头本体21离开预设位置时，卡扣2311与卡槽2321脱离。
通过本实施方式，卡扣2331与卡槽2332紧密扣合，从而提高摄像头本体21在预设位置的固定程度，不容易发生偏移，使可折叠摄像模组处于摄影状态时能够正常工作。
其中，在一实施方式中，柔性连接线22的宽度不大于折叠件232的宽度。具体地，在本实施方式中，柔性连接线22的宽度可以小于折叠件232的宽度。在其他实施方式中，柔性连接线22的宽度可以等于折叠件232的宽度。
其中，在一实施方式中，柔性连接线22为超柔性排线。通过本实施方式，能够通过超柔性排线的可绕折性增加摄像头本体的可折叠性。
其中，在一实施方式中，凹槽（未标示）位于移动终端的后盖侧。具体地，摄像头本体311位于凹槽内部时，可折叠摄像头模组31朝向背离移动终端的显示屏的方向，作为移动终端30的后置摄像头。当摄像头本体311离开凹槽时，折叠并固定至预设位置上时，可折叠摄像头模组31朝向移动终端的显示屏所对方向，作为移动终端30的前置摄像头。
通过上述方式，本实施方式能够使摄像头本体折叠，并通过固定件固定至预设位置，从而使摄像头本体的镜头朝向显示屏，以实现前置摄像的功能，不再需要设置前置摄像头，能够有效的减少摄像头模组在终端显示表面上的空间占用，提高移动终端的屏占比，实现超窄边框甚至无边框。
参阅图4和图5，图4是本发明提供的移动终端一实施方式的结构示意图，图5是图4中移动终端的局部结构示意图。在本实施方式中，该移动终端40包括至少一个可折叠摄像头模组41，可折叠摄像头模组41包括：摄像头本体411，柔性连接线412以及固定件413。
