Abstract
A camera module having a lens unit; an intermediate part a hollow part of which the lens unit is affixed to; and a base unit which is opened in one direction and is equipped with a mounting part to which the intermediate part is mounted in such a way as to be able to rotate freely; wherein a latching protrusion that latches with the base unit is provided on an outer periphery of the intermediate part; a sliding hole having a movable step is provided on a mounting part side of the base unit; and the intermediate part moves in a direction perpendicular to the rotating direction, as the latching protrusion of the intermediate part rotates along the sliding hole of the base unit.
Claims2
A camera module comprising:
- a lens unit having lenses allowing light to enter from one end, refract the light, and pass the light through to an opposite end;
- an intermediate part, cylindrically shaped, open on both ends, and receive the lens unit in a hollow part;
- and
- a base unit with an open end on one side having a mounting part holding the intermediate part in a freely rotatable manner;
- a latching protrusion, to latch with the base unit, is provided on an outer cylindrical surface of the intermediate part and;
- a slide hole having a step, to receive the latching protrusion provided on the intermediate part, is provided on a mounting part sidewall of the base unit;
- where the intermediate part moves relative to the base unit in a direction perpendicular to a rotary movement as the latching protrusion of the intermediate part moves along the slide hole of the base unit.
