The image capture device 20 can be installed in the installation slot 110 of the mobile terminal 30 and can be detached from the installation slot 110. After the image capture device 20 is detached from the installation slot 110, the image capture device 20 can be communicatively connected with the mobile terminal 30. The image capture device 20 can perform a photographing function and transmit the photographed data to the mobile terminal 30. In other embodiments, the mobile terminal 30 may also be a tablet or a palmtop computer.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the image acquisition device 20 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular block. The image acquisition device 20 includes a housing 200, a main board 300, a power module 400 and a camera module 500. The housing 200 is roughly rectangular, and the housing 200 has a hollow structure. The main board 300, the power module 400 and the camera module 500 are arranged in the housing 200. A light-transmitting hole 210 is opened on the housing 200, a circuit, an antenna unit, etc. are provided on the main board 300, and the main board 300 can be communicably connected with the mobile terminal 30. The power supply module 400 can be electrically connected to the main board 300, the camera module 500 can be electrically connected to the power supply module 400 and can communicate with the main board 300, and the power supply module 400 can supply power to the main board 300 and the camera module 500. The main board 300 includes a front board surface 321 and a rear board surface 323 disposed opposite each other. The main board 300 is U-shaped and defines a first notch 310. The first notch 310 penetrates the front board surface 321 and the rear board surface 323, and the first notch 310 penetrates The edge of the motherboard 300. In one embodiment, the coordinate system is established by taking the length direction of the image acquisition device 20 as the x-axis, the width direction as the y-axis, and the thickness direction as the z-axis.
