Disclosed is a mobile terminal including a rotating module configured to rotate an end of the first body with respect to the second body to be moved.
Description
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal having first and second bodies slidably coupled to each other.
The terminal can move And can be divided into a mobile / portable terminal and a stationary terminal depending on whether the mobile terminal is a mobile terminal or a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may be further classified into a handheld terminal and a vehicle mount terminal according to whether a user can directly carry it.
Such a terminal has various functions, for example, in the form of a multimedia device having multiple functions such as photographing and photographing of a moving picture, reproduction of a music or video file, reception of a game and broadcasting, etc. .
Various new attempts have been applied in terms of hardware or software to implement the complex functions of such multimedia devices. For example, a user interface environment is provided for a user to easily and conveniently search for or select a function.
In addition, while the mobile terminal is regarded as a personal portable device for expressing its personality, various design forms are required. The design form also includes structural changes and improvements for the user to use the mobile terminal more conveniently.
One of such structural changes and improvements can be considered for the movement mechanism of the terminal bodies.
The present invention provides a mobile terminal in which the display portions of the first and second bodies can be disposed on the same plane.
In addition, the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal that implements both sliding, tilting and flattening operation of the first and second body.
In order to achieve the above object, the mobile terminal according to the present invention includes a first body and a second body coupled so as to slide between a closed state overlapped with each other and an open state where the overlapping surfaces are exposed, and the first body. A first slide member disposed, a second slide member disposed on the second body and slidably connected to the first slide member such that the first and second bodies slide relative to each other; And a rotation module configured to rotate an end of the first body relative to the second body such that the first body is moved between the flat states where the faces are non-overlapping.
As an example related to the present invention, the rotation module includes a first support, a second support, and a rotation bar. A first support portion is formed in the second slide member, and the second support portion is mounted to the second body. One end of the rotating bar is rotatably connected to the first support, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second support.
As another example related to the present invention, the rotation module includes a guide part configured to guide the rotation of the rotation bar and to slide the rotation center of the end portion. The guide part includes first and second pins and first and second guide holes. A first pin is mounted on the other end of the rotating bar, forms the rotation center, and the second pin is spaced apart from the first pin at the other end of the rotating bar. The first guide hole is formed in the second support part to insert the first pin and is elongated in one direction to guide the sliding of the first pin. The second guide hole is formed in the second support portion to insert the second pin, and is formed to guide the rotation of the second pin.
As another example related to the present invention, the second guide hole includes a circular portion and an extension portion. The circular part is formed to surround one end of the first guide hole, and the extension part extends in the longitudinal direction of the first guide hole in the circular part.
As another example related to the present invention, an elastic member is supported at the other end of the rotary bar and the second support part to apply an elastic force in the sliding direction of the rotary bar. The rotation bar is disposed to form an acute angle in the open state with the overlapping surface of the second body.
As another example related to the present invention, the rotating module may include a first support part coupled to the second slide member, a second support part formed on the second body, and one end of which is rotatably connected to the first support part. The other end includes a rotation bar rotatably connected to the second support part, and a tilting part for tilting the rotation bar such that the first body is tilted at a specific angle about one end of the rotation bar in the flat state.
As another example related to the present invention, the tilting part includes a rotation shaft and a cam. The rotating shaft is connected to one end of the rotating bar and the first support part, respectively. The cam is configured such that when the rotation bar rotates about the rotation axis, the rotation bar is locked in the rotation direction of the rotation bar at the specific angle.
As another example related to the present invention, a connection cable or a flexible circuit board may pass through both ends of the rotation bar to extend into the first and second bodies, respectively. First and second windows are disposed on the overlapping surfaces of the first and second bodies to form a dual display adjacent to each other, and the first and second windows are disposed on the same plane in the flat state.
According to the present invention configured as described above, each body may be disposed flat in the slide type mobile terminal through a rotation module for rotating the first slide member with respect to the second body.
In addition, in the present invention, as the rotation bar forms an acute angle with the second body during the sliding operation, a flattening operation may be performed separately from the sliding operation. In addition, as the rotation center of the rotation bar is formed to be rotatable and slidable, in the present invention, the dual display may be arranged to be parallel to each other at positions adjacent to each other.
In addition, as the first body is tilted at a specific angle through the tilting unit of the present invention, a mobile terminal capable of all sliding, tilting and flattening operations may be implemented.
