Patent attributes
A camera module includes a lens base, a lens group, and a switching mechanism. The lens base defines a through hole. The lens group is received within the through hole. The switching mechanism includes a switching base, an optical path conversion member, and a driving member. The switching base is mounted on the lens base and defines a light guide cavity communicating with the through hole. The switching base defines a front aperture and a rear aperture. The front aperture and the rear aperture communicate with the light guide cavity. The optical path conversion member includes a reflective surface. The driving member is mounted within the light guide cavity. The driving member drives the optical light conversion member to rotate to cause the reflective surface to reflect light entering through the front aperture or the rear aperture to the lens group.
