Apparatus to expose and allow retraction of a module of an electronic device

An elevating apparatus configured for driving a camera module to move between a locked position and an unlocked position and comprising:

• a moving assembly comprising a hook and a guiding column, the moving assembly fixing the camera module;
• a self-locking switch matching with the hook and an elastic element sleeving on the guiding column;
• and
• a mounting board comprising a receiving groove and a receiving channel, the receiving channel matching with the guiding column, and receiving groove receiving the self-locking switch;
• wherein when the moving assembly is pressed, the hook presses self-locking switch to lock the hook with the self-locking switch, the guiding column slides in the receiving channel and presses the elastic element to generate elastic deformation;
• and
• wherein when the moving assembly is pressed again, the hook presses self-locking switch to release the hook from the self-locking switch, and the elastic element drives the moving assembly to move;
• and
• wherein the moving assembly further comprises a second mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket comprises a second supporting plate, and a bottom of the second supporting plate extends downward to form the hook.
