Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of camera equipment, and in particular to a camera device and a mobile terminal. Background Art

[0002] The existing camera device includes a pan-tilt mount, a camera module, and a flexible circuit board (FPC) electrically connected to the camera module. The camera module is installed in the pan-tilt mount, and the pan-tilt mount can drive the camera module to move. When the camera module moves in the pan-tilt mount, the camera module will drive the flexible circuit board to move. In order to reduce the pulling effect of the flexible circuit board on the camera module and the pan-tilt mount, it is necessary to bend the flexible circuit board into an elastic serpentine structure, and set a pad at the bend of the serpentine structure to avoid deformation of the flexible circuit board. Therefore, the entire production process of bending the flexible circuit board into a serpentine structure requires bending, dispensing, glue curing and other processes, resulting in complex processes, long manufacturing time and low production efficiency. Moreover, when the camera module moves in the pan-tilt mount, the pulling effect of the flexible circuit board on the camera module and the pan-tilt mount has never been effectively solved.
