     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0011]    It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure. 
         [0012]    Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. 
         [0013]    The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
         [0014]    The present disclosure is described in relation to a videophone. 
         [0015]      FIGS. 1-2  illustrate one embodiment of a videophone  100 . The videophone  100  includes a frame  10 , a camera module  20 , and a control panel  90 . 
         [0016]    The frame  10  defines an opening  12 , a mounting groove  16 , and a receiving space  19 . The frame  10  includes a first plate  14  and a second plate  18 .

The control panel  90  is electrically connected to the driving device  60  and can control the driving device  60 . 
         [0020]      FIGS. 5-6  illustrate the videophone  100  in a working state. The first motor  62  is controlled by the control panel  90 , to rotate. The second gear  54  rotates with the first motor  62 . The camera  40  is driven to rotate by the second gear  54  via the first gear  52 . The body  42  moves within the receiving hole  340 . The control panel  90  can control the second motor  64  to rotate. The forth gear  84  rotates driven by the second motor  64 . The shaft  74  is driven to rotate by the forth gear  84  via the third gear  82 . The shell  30  and the mounting plate  72  rotate within the opening  12 .

         [0021]    The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a videophone. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
