Further, the maximum width of the connector 300 is larger than the diameter of the output shaft of the driver 150. Further, the ratio of the maximum width of the connector 300 to the diameter of the output shaft of the driver 150 is 2:1 to 5: 1. For example, the diameter of the output shaft of the driver 150 is about 1.5mm, and the maximum width of the connector 300 is about 4 mm. As another example, the diameter of the output shaft of the driver 150 is about 2mm, and the maximum width of the connector 300 is about 5 mm.

Because the output shaft of the driver 150 is fixedly connected to the base 220 of the mounting base 200 by the connecting member 300, and the mounting base 200 is driven to rotate by the output shaft and the connecting member 300, the arrangement simplifies the transmission structure between the driver 150 and the mounting base 200, and can form a relatively compact assembly structure, thereby saving the cost of parts, saving the installation space inside the mobile terminal 10, and further facilitating the light and thin design of the mobile terminal 10. Since the arrangement of the connection member 300 simplifies the transmission structure between the driver 150 and the mounting base 200, the arrangement can also improve the transmission efficiency to reduce the energy consumption, thereby being beneficial to improving the endurance of the mobile terminal 10.

Referring to fig. 7, the base 220 is provided with a mounting hole 226 for mounting the connector 300, and the mounting hole 226 is provided on the projection 225 and is communicated with the receiving groove 222. One of the outer periphery of the connecting member 300 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 226 is provided with a clamping block, the other of the outer periphery of the connecting member 300 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 226 is provided with a clamping groove, and the clamping block is clamped in the clamping groove to fixedly connect the connecting member 300 and the seat body 220. This arrangement can simplify the assembly structure of the connector 300 and the housing 220. Further, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the mounting hole 226 is provided with a ring gear, and the connecting member 300 is a gear and is fixed to the ring gear in a meshing manner. The gear ring may be integrally formed on the base 220, for example, the material of the gear ring may be the same as that of the base 220. The gear ring may also be assembled and molded to the housing 220, for example, the gear ring may be fixedly connected to the housing 220 by welding, screwing, or bonding. The arrangement of the gear ring and the gear can also simplify the assembly structure of the connector 300 and the housing 220, so that the driver 150 can be conveniently mounted on the housing 220 through the connector 300, and a reliable fixing structure is formed to drive the mounting base 200 to rotate through the driver 150. Further, the connecting member 300 may be made of a material with a higher strength, such as copper or copper alloy, or stainless steel, and the seat 220 may be made of a material with a lower strength, such as aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy. The material arrangement mode can not only meet the structural strength of the connection part of the output shaft of the driver 150, but also realize the light and thin design of the connecting piece 300 and the seat body 220, thereby being beneficial to the light and thin design of the mobile terminal 10. In some embodiments, after the connector 300 and the holder body 220 are assembled, an interference fit may be formed to prevent the holder 200 from moving in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 during rotation. In other embodiments, after the connecting member 300 is assembled with the housing 220, the connecting member 300 may be further fixedly connected with the housing 220 by welding, bonding, or screwing, so as to prevent the mounting base 200 from moving in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 during the rotation process.
