Camera lens module pop-up device for portable wireless terminal

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a camera lens module pop-up device for a portable wireless terminal which enables insertion and extraction of a camera lens module into and from the portable wireless terminal in a pop-up manner. The device comprises a terminal housing formed with a lens hole, a camera lens module coupled through the lens hole in such a fashion that it can be inserted into or extracted from the lens hole as it is pushed laterally, and can rotate about a hinge axis thereof when being extracted, a rotation cam unit provided at an end surface of the camera lens module for adjusting or restraining a rotation angle of the camera lens module in a stepwise manner when the camera lens module is extracted from the lens hole, and a lens pop-up module coupled to the camera lens module so as to extend in a hinge axis direction for enabling the camera lens module to be inserted and extracted through the lens hole when the camera lens module is pushed laterally, and for enabling the camera lens module to rotate upon extraction thereof.
