However, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not limited to the specific embodiments, and should be understood to include all modifications, changes, equivalent devices and methods and / or optional embodiments disclosed in the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a mobile terminal with an adjustable camera comprises a front cover 1, a back cover 2, a camera device 3, and a zoom lever 4.

[0026] The camera device 3 includes a camera body 31 and a camera decoration 32 .

[0027] One end of the camera body 31 is fixed on the front cover 1 of the mobile terminal. A telephoto lens 311 is disposed on the camera body 31 , and the telephoto lens 311 can extend out of the camera body 31 .

[0028] The camera decoration 32 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an open end at one end. It is arranged around the camera body 31, and the outer end of the camera decoration 32 is placed in the through hole of the back cover of the mobile terminal. The outer end of the camera decoration 32 is provided with a groove, and the camera lens 312 is placed in the groove.

[0029] Initially, the outer end of the camera decorative member 32 is flush with the back cover 2 of the mobile terminal, or slightly higher than the back cover of the mobile terminal, and the distance between them is as follows: Figure 1 The B in the figure will not affect the overall appearance of the mobile terminal.

[0030] A thread 321 is provided on the outer circumference of the camera decoration 32 .

[0031] The zoom lever 4 is a flat rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the threaded teeth are arranged on a long side of the rectangular parallelepiped structure. The zoom lever 4 corresponds to a rack structure.

[0032] The thread on the camera decoration 32 meshes with the thread teeth of the zoom lever 4, and the zoom lever 4 drives the camera decoration 32 to extend outward, so that the outer end of the camera decoration 32 extends out of the back cover 2 of the mobile terminal, thereby extending the telephoto lens 311 on the camera body 31.

[0033] The zoom lever 4 is provided with a toggle button 41 . The toggle button 41 is protrudingly arranged on the zoom lever and is an integral structure with the zoom lever 4 .
