Camera module and mobile terminal

A camera module, applied to a mobile terminal, wherein the camera module comprises:

• a rectangular base having a support plate, wherein the base is placed inside a housing of the mobile terminal and the support plate is connected to a printed circuit board on the mobile terminal;
• at least one guide pillar is disposed on the base and a lifting camera lens configured to slide relative to the base, and
• a drive apparatus comprising:
• a drive block configured to slide relative to the base and drive the lifting camera lens to rise or fall,
• a drive mechanism configured to slide the drive block, wherein the drive mechanism is outside the lifting lens and mechanically moves the rotating cylinder by a gear ring;
• wherein a magnetic component is provided on the lifting camera lens;
• and
• a hall sensor mounted on the at least one guide pillar for detecting location information of the lifting camera lens magnetically.

A mobile terminal, comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• a camera module, wherein the camera module comprises:
• a rectangular base having a support plate,
• at least one guide pillar is disposed on the rectangular base,
• a lifting camera lens configured to slide relative to the base, and
• a drive apparatus comprising:
• a rotating cylinder configured to rotate relative to the base and drive the lifting camera lens to rise or fall, wherein the rotating cylinder is sleeved outside the lifting camera lens;
• and
• a drive mechanism configured to drive the rotating cylinder to rotate, wherein the drive mechanism is outside the rotating cylinder and mechanically moves the rotating cylinder by a gear ring;
• a hall sensor mounted on the at least one guide pillar for detecting location information of the lifting camera lens magnetically;
• wherein
• the rectangular base is fastened inside the housing wherein the support plate is connected to a printed circuit board on the mobile terminal, a second through hole that fits the lifting camera lens is disposed on the housing, and
• when the lifting camera lens rises, the lifting camera lens is exposed after passing through the second through hole.
