Abstract:
1. A fixing apparatus, used to hold a digital photography module on a case surface of a portable electronic device, the case surface being defined as a plane, a normal direction of the plane being defined as a first direction, the digital photography module having a camera lens and a first circuit board, and the first circuit board connected with the camera lens along the first direction, the fixing apparatus comprising: a first component including a frame body, the frame body including a first opening, a plurality of folded sides extending from sides of the first opening and being bent with a predetermined angle; and a second component including a plane body, the plane body including a second opening and at least one engagement portion, the engagement portion being in a predetermined thickness and configured around the second opening; wherein the second component is coupled with the first component in the first direction, and the camera lens sequentially passes through the first opening and the second opening to protrude from the case surface, the folded sides prevent horizontal movement parallel to the plane of the first circuit board, and the engagement portion prevents vertical movement in the first direction of the first circuit board, thus immobilizing the digital photography module on the case surface of the portable electronic device by the fixing apparatus.
