A lens module (1010) comprises at least one optical lens (1011), a focusing mechanism (1012), and a supporting structure component (1013). Each optical lens (1011) is mounted in an accommodating cavity of the supporting structure component (1013) in a height direction of the supporting structure component (1013). The supporting structure component (1013) is connected inside of the focusing mechanism (1012) as a carrier of the focusing mechanism (1012). The supporting structure component (1013) moves as the focusing mechanism (1012) is powered, and is thereby suitable for focusing. By replacing a carrier and a lens cone of a conventional focusing mechanism with the supporting structure component (1013), an overall assembly process is simplified, the yield and quality of a module are improved, and the manufacturing costs are reduced.
