Wherein, when the first reflector 310 can reflect the light incident from the first camera 210 to the imaging sensor 400 according to the preset optical path, it means that the first reflector 310 is in an open state; similarly, when the second reflector 320 When the light incident from the second camera 220 can be reflected to the imaging sensor 400 according to the preset optical path, it means that the second mirror 320 is in an on state. It should be noted that, when at least one of the first reflector 310 and the second reflector 320 is in an on state, it means that the reflector assembly 300 is in an on state. When the first reflector 310 moves close to the first camera 210 to avoid the third camera 230 , and the second reflector 320 moves close to the second camera 220 to avoid the third camera 230 , it means that the reflector 300 is in a closed state. That is, at this time, the first reflecting mirror 310 and the second reflecting mirror 320 are far away from each other and the above-mentioned gap is formed between the first reflecting mirror 310 and the second reflecting mirror 320, and the light incident from the third camera 230 can be projected through the gap. On the imaging sensor 400, at this time, the third camera 230 and the imaging sensor 400 form an optical path.

In one embodiment, when both the first reflecting mirror 310 and the second reflecting mirror 320 are in an on state, an obtuse angle is formed between the first reflecting mirror 310 and the second reflecting mirror 320, so that the first reflecting mirror 310 will The light incident from the first camera 210 is reflected to the effective area of the imaging sensor 400 , and at the same time, the second mirror 320 emits the light incident from the second camera 220 to the effective area of the imaging sensor 400 , thereby ensuring Both the light incident from the camera 210 and the light incident from the second camera 220 can form images of higher quality.
