Wherein, the material of the mounting seat 310 can be, but is not limited to, metal, plastic or stainless steel.

Please continue to refer to FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 100 is provided with a receiving groove 1311. In one embodiment, the receiving groove 1311 is opened on the first side surface 131 of the main body 100. Furthermore, the receiving groove 1311 may be opened in the middle of the first side surface 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 can also be opened on the edge of the first side surface 131 close to the rear surface 120. The mounting seat 310 can carry the camera 320 from the first position (shown in Figure 1) to the second position (shown in Figures 2 and 3). When the mounting seat 310 is in the first position, the mounting seat 310 and the camera 320 are housed in In the receiving groove 1311, when the mounting seat 310 is in the second position, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is outside the receiving groove 1311, that is, the light incident surface of the camera 320 is exposed outside the body 100. In this way, when the camera 320 needs to be used for shooting, the mounting base 310 carries the camera 320 and moves out of the receiving slot 1311 to perform shooting. When the shooting is completed, the mounting base 310 carries the camera 320 to move into the receiving slot 1311, thereby eliminating the camera. 320 occupies the space on the side of the display screen 200, increases the coverage of the display screen 200 on the front surface 110, and increases the screen-to-body ratio of the display screen 200. It should be noted that when the mounting assembly 300 includes the first device 330 and the second device 340, at this time, when the mounting seat 310 is in the first position, the first device 330 and the second device 340 are received in the receiving groove 1311 When the mounting base 310 is in the second position, the first device 330 and the second device 340 are exposed outside the receiving groove 1311.

In an embodiment, the rotation axis of the mounting base 310 is perpendicular to the reference plane, which is the plane where the planar area of the display screen 200 is located, and can also be understood as a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 (that is, perpendicular to the figure). 1 shows the plane of the Y axis, such as the XZ plane). In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the mounting base 310 passes through the center of the reference line, the reference line is a line connecting the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mounting base 310 on the 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 mounting base 310 is parallel to the optical axis of the camera 320. For ease of description, each embodiment is described below with reference planes. In an embodiment, the rotation axis of the mounting base 310 passes through the center of the circumcircle of the orthographic projection of the mounting base 310 on the reference plane. In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the mounting base 310 passes through the center of the reference line, and the reference line is a line connecting the maximum width of the orthographic projection of the mounting base 310 on the reference plane. For example, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 7, when the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 310 on the reference plane includes the area with the shape of the major arc, the line of maximum width is the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the major arc. . In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 310 on the reference plane includes an area shaped as a superior arc bow, and the center of the circumcircle of the orthographic projection of the receiving slot 1311 on the reference plane is aligned with the orthographic projection of the mounting seat 310 on the reference plane. The center of the circumcircle of the projection coincides. In this way, the space of the receiving slot 1311 can be utilized to the greatest extent, and the structure is more compact.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 7, the mounting base 310 includes a first outer circumferential surface 311 and a second outer circumferential surface 312. The orthographic projection of the first outer circumferential surface 311 on the reference plane is a straight line. The orthographic projection of the second outer peripheral surface 312 on the reference plane is a circular arc. When the mounting seat 310 is in the first position, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is flush with the first side surface 131. When the mounting seat 310 is in the second position, the first The outer peripheral surface 311 and the first side surface 131 are misaligned. The misalignment of the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the first side surface 131 includes the following two situations: the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the first side surface 131 intersect or are parallel to each other.

It can be understood that, in other embodiments, when the mounting base 310 is in the second position, the first outer peripheral surface 311 crosses the first side surface 110. At this time, the rotation angle of the mounting base 310 is less than 180 degrees. It should be noted that the angle of rotation required for the mounting base 310 to move from the first position to the second position can be selected according to actual needs, and there is no limitation here, as long as the mounting base 310 can be rotated through a certain angle to make the camera 320 It is enough to be exposed to the body 100.

Wherein, the image collection surface (that is, the light incident surface) of the aforementioned camera 320 faces the front surface 110, that is, faces the side where the display screen 200 is located, and is used 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 to be used as a rear camera. Of course, the mounting base 310 can also be provided with two cameras 320 at the same time. The image acquisition surfaces of the two cameras 320 are respectively facing the side of the display screen 200 and the side facing away from the side of the display screen 200, that is, as a front camera and a rear camera. At this time, when shooting is not required, both the front camera and the rear camera of the mobile terminal 10 can be hidden in the receiving slot 1311. When the front camera or the rear camera needs to be used for shooting, the mounting seat 310 is rotated to In the second position, the light-incident surfaces of the two cameras 320 are respectively exposed on the side where the display screen 200 is located and exposed on the side facing away from the display screen 200.
