The above-mentioned camera body 34 is formed in a cylindrical shape, one end portion of which is rotatably mounted on one side of the camera mounting portion 14 via a hinge shaft 38, and is mounted between the other end portion and one side of the camera mounting portion 14. Free spacer hinge 40 is arranged.

A front photographing section A and a rear photographing section B are respectively formed on the above-mentioned camera mounting part 14. The front photographing section A is open to the front of the first body 10 so that the camera lens 34 can take pictures; The rear of the body 10 is open to allow the camera lens 34 to take pictures.

Among them, the above-mentioned front imaging section A preferably has an angle of about 70 degrees to 85 degrees, and the above-mentioned rear imaging section B preferably has an angle of about 60 degrees to 70 degrees. A cam device 42 is installed between the above-mentioned camera body 32 and the camera mounting part 14, and if the above-mentioned camera lens 34 deviates from the front shooting section A and the rear shooting section B, it will automatically rotate the camera body 32 to restore the above-mentioned camera lens 34. Go to the front shooting section A and the rear shooting section B.

As shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned cam device 42 includes the following parts: a housing 50, which is mounted on the camera mounting portion 14 formed on the first body 10; a first cam 52, which is rotatably mounted on the above-mentioned housing. 50 inside, fixed to the above-mentioned camera mounting part 14, forming a cam surface on the front; the second cam 54, which forms a cam surface in contact with the above-mentioned first cam 52, is installed so that it can move linearly on the housing 50, and is connected to the above-mentioned The camera body 32 is connected to the spring 56 , which is located between the second cam 54 and the housing 50 and provides elastic force to the second cam 54 .

That is, with respect to this kind of cam device 42, if the camera lens 34 breaks away from the front photography section A, then under the action of the first cam 52 and the second cam 54, the camera body 32 is automatically returned to the front photography section A; If the camera lens 34 is separated from the rear imaging section B, the camera body 32 is automatically returned to the rear imaging section B under the action of the first cam 52 and the second cam 54 .

The above-mentioned camera driving device is composed of the following parts: a pinion 60, which is connected to the hinge shaft 38 connected to the above-mentioned camera body 32 through a power transmission device 64, and is rotatably installed on the first body 10; a rack 62 , it is installed on the above-mentioned second body 20 according to the length direction, and meshes with the above-mentioned pinion gear 60 .

The above-mentioned power transmission device 64 is composed of the following parts: a first pulley 70, which is fixed on the above-mentioned hinge shaft 38; a second pulley 74, which is fixed on the rotation shaft of the above-mentioned pinion 60; a transmission belt 72, which is wound on the above-mentioned first Between the 1st pulley 70 and the 2nd pulley 74.

With regard to this kind of camera driving device, if the above-mentioned first body 10 slides upward, the pinion 60 rotates while meshing with the rack 62, so the above-mentioned second pulley 74 rotates, and the transmission belt 72 rotates. Under the action of , the first pulley 70 rotates, the above-mentioned camera body 32 rotates, and the camera lens 34 faces the rear photographing section B at the same time.

In addition, when the first body 10 is fully opened, the rack 62 and the pinion 60 are separated from each other, and the camera body 32 is free to rotate.

Also, when the first body 10 slides downward, the camera body 32 is rotated in the opposite direction while the pinion gear 60 is rotated, and the camera lens 34 is directed toward the front imaging section A.

At this time, when the first body 10 is fully closed, the rack 62 and the pinion 60 are separated, and the camera body 32 is free to rotate.

Next, the operation of the portable terminal of the present invention constituted as above will be described.

First, when the first body 10 is slid upward and the terminal is opened, the pinion 60 attached to the first body 10 rotates while meshing with the rack 62 . Then, the rotational force of the pinion gear 60 is transmitted to the camera body 32 by the action of the power transmission device 64 , so that the camera body 32 is rotated. Then, the camera lens 34 is directed toward the rear imaging section B. As shown in FIG. Furthermore, when the first body 10 is fully opened, the pinion 60 is disengaged from the rack 62, and the camera body 32 can freely rotate.

In this state, the user rotates the operation dial 36 to rotate the camera lens 34 within the range of the rear photographing section A to perform photographing. At this time, if the operation dial 36 is excessively rotated to cause the camera lens 34 to escape from the rear shooting zone B, the camera lens 34 will automatically return to the rear shooting zone B under the action of the cam device 42 .

Also, when the first body 10 is slid downward to close the terminal, the pinion gear 60 rotates in the opposite direction to the above while meshing with the rack 62 . Then, the rotational force of the pinion gear 60 is transmitted to the camera body 32 by the action of the power transmission device 64 , so that the camera body 32 is rotated. Then, the camera lens 34 shoots the section A forwardly.

In this state, the user rotates the operation dial 36 to rotate the camera lens 34 within the range of the front imaging section A to perform imaging. At this time, if the operation dial 36 is excessively rotated to cause the camera lens 34 to escape from the front shooting section A, the camera lens 34 will automatically return to the front shooting section A under the action of the cam device 42 .

The portable terminal of the present invention constructed and functioning as described above has a camera rotatably mounted, and can direct the camera lens to the front and rear of the first body, so it has the advantage of being convenient to use.

In addition, if you slide the first body upwards to open the terminal, the camera body will automatically rotate under the action of the camera drive device, and at the same time make the camera lens face to the rear; if you slide the second body downwards, it will be closed. For the terminal, under the action of the camera driving device, the camera body automatically rotates, and at the same time, the camera lens faces forward, which has the advantage of being convenient to use.
