Abstract
A camera module and a mobile terminal including a base, and a lifting camera lens that may slide relative to the base. Protrusion and retraction of the camera lens of the camera module are implemented through sliding between the base and the lifting camera lens. In addition, the camera module further includes a drive apparatus for driving the lifting camera lens to rise or fall. The drive apparatus includes: a rotating cylinder that may rotate relative to the base, where the rotating cylinder is sleeved outside the lifting camera lens and used to drive the lifting camera lens to rise or fall; and a drive mechanism for driving the rotating cylinder to rotate. When the foregoing structure is used, the rotating cylinder is sleeved outside the lifting camera lens, so that the drive apparatus partially overlaps with the lifting camera lens, thereby reducing a size of the camera module.
