Description

Mobile phone device with slide module {Wireless Mobile Phone with Slide Module}

The present invention relates to a slide module that can be opened and closed by moving the front display unit (hereinafter 'cover') of the personal mobile communication terminal (hereinafter 'mobile phone terminal'). In addition, the present invention provides a mobile terminal cover opening and closing structure to improve the high reliability and operability of the mobile phone terminal by providing a high-touch operation for opening and closing while smoothly and accurately transporting the cover of the mobile phone terminal in the slide opening and closing type will be.

Generally, the mobile phone terminal 10 includes a device body 30 having a plurality of dials and function buttons 20 arranged in a plane as shown in FIG. 1, a display unit 40 showing a handset history and selection options through a window, and A battery pack 50 and an antenna 60 attached to the device body 30 so as to be detachable from each other are basically constructed.

Recent mobile phone terminals are designed to maximize the data transmission through advanced communication technology while satisfying the convenience of mobile and portable, and to be suitable for the use and utilization of real-time information on the network as well as simple handset function. The changing aspect is shown.

Therefore, the mobile phone terminal is designed differently than before to be suitable for various uses in addition to the call function. In addition, in terms of mobility, which is one of the important advantages of mobile phones, a small, light and slim design is preferred.

Looking at the process of changing the handset, it can be seen that the recent handset is much smaller, more versatile and improved in call quality than in the past. This is the same as the mobile terminal is proceeding with the development of communication technology.

In the past, mobile phones were much larger and heavier in size and weight than they are today, and their functions were just handset. However, with the development of information and communication technology, telecommunication service providers continue to provide a variety of services, and new terminals have been developed that can also be equipped with mobile phone mobility. For example, as shown in 2, the handset side is divided into two parts. It is a cover opening and closing structure equipped with a transmitter. Application of this structure could be an advantageous structure for miniaturization and light weight reducing the overall size of the mobile phone terminal.

More specifically, the lid opening and closing type is fixed to the dial function button 20 and the display unit 40 and the battery pack 50 to the device body 30 as shown in Figure 2 and the cover 70 at one end of the device body 30 ) By the hinge (80) to hold the cover 70, the part cover opening and closing to or to expand and or the display unit 40 and the dial function button 20 and the battery pack on the device body 30 as shown in FIG. Fixing the 50 and one end of the device body 30 is divided into a front cover opening and closing (folder type) to secure the cover 70 by a hinge 80 to hold and cover the cover 70.

Although it is difficult to compare the performance and convenience according to the difference between the partial cover opening type and the front cover opening type, as described above, the front cover opening type can be configured to display a large screen in order to input and output various information as a video or an image. Because it is more advantageous.

Another mobile phone cover opening and closing structure is also known as slide opening and closing type. This method does not fold and unfold the cover toward the main body of the main unit, and pushes the cover in one direction along the main unit so that the cover moves in a plane along the main unit, thereby opening and closing the main unit according to its position. As it can be enlarged, it can take advantage of the front opening / closing type which can enhance the display function.

However, the application of the slide opening and closing method, despite the advantages of simpler operation compared to the folding of the cover as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the reliability of how the cover can move smoothly along the main unit lacked, the simple slide rail There is a problem that can not be sufficiently maintained the repeatability according to the application.

A representative example applied to the slide opening and closing method is shown in FIG. 4. This structure attaches the fixing tip 90 to the device body 30, and uses the fixing tip 90 to fix the cover 70 and tracks on the cover 70 so that the fixing tip 90 can be moved at regular intervals. Parser (92) is a structure made to move along the main body device 30 in a state in which the cover 70 is fixed to the fixing tip 90. In this case, since the cover 70 is fixed by the fixing tip 90, the cover 70 is separated from the fixing tip 90, or because the fixing tip 90 is directly in contact with the track 92. I have a problem.

Another case applied to the slide opening and closing method is to dig a track for guiding the cover 70 on the device body 30, and on the contrary, the cover has a rail that can be fixed to enter the track so that the rail can slide along the track. If the rail is made to move away from the track, there is a problem that the operation does not work properly due to repeated operation or impact.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the operation reliability and operability of the slide cover in applying the slide opening and closing cover structure as the operation method of the mobile phone terminal cover.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a slide module applicable to the cover opening and closing structure of a mobile phone terminal of various designs.

Features of the present invention for achieving this purpose, a device body with a plurality of dials and function buttons arranged in a plane, a display unit mounted on the device body showing the handset history and selection options through a window, the device In the mobile phone terminal comprising a battery pack detachably attached to the main body, and the cover coupled to the device body to cover and cover the display unit of the device body,

It is composed of an elastic fixing part for elastically positioning the block 105 in an arbitrary positioning hole 106 to open and close the cover 103 from the device body 102, such a slide module 101 is the main body device 102 Between the cover 103 and the cover of the mobile terminal 100 It is to open and close structure.

The moving plate 104 is fixed to the device body 102 or the cover 103. 6 illustrates a case in which the moving plate 104 is fixed to the cover 103. The method of fixing the moving plate 104 to the device body 102 or the cover 103 may be combined by a permanent coupling such as shrink fit and a semi-permanent coupling using a screw or pin, or a coupling method through elastic compression.

The moving plate 104 may be made of a metal non-metallic plate-like body integrally by press molding through a shear die or as desired by injection molding using a thermoplastic synthetic resin material, and the specific structure may be machined as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. The lower plate 107 seated on the main body 102 or the cover 103 and the lower plate 107 are integrally formed and separated from the lower plate 107 at predetermined intervals, and the moving block 105 can slide. The upper plate 108 forming a movable space 109 on a planar surface, and the slide space 110 guiding the moving block 105 by an interval formed by the lower / upper plays 107 and 108. do. Accordingly, the lower / upper plates 107 and 108 may be viewed as having a step to guide the moving block 105.

Although the lower / upper plates 107 and 108 are integrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the upper plate 108 and the lower plate 107 need not be integrally manufactured.

The slide space 110 and the movement space 109 formed by processing the upper / lower plates 107 and 08 are shown symmetrically with respect to the center 'y' axis as illustrated in FIG. 7, but may have an asymmetric structure.

In the lower plate 107 of the moving plate 104, a positioning hole 109 for determining the position of the moving block 105 is machined. As illustrated in FIG. 6, two positions of the positioning holes 106 may be formed at each point at which the cover 103 opens and closes, and two or more positioning holes 106 may be formed.

The moving block 105 has a lower slide space so as to slide along the moving space 109 and the slide space 110 formed in the lower / upper plates 107 and 108 of the moving plate 104 as shown in FIG. 7. It is formed of a flange 111 seated on the 110, the upper portion is composed of a moving head 112 is protruded along the moving space 109 and fixed to the device body 102 or the cover 103.

The moving head 112 may process a screw groove 117 coupled to the device body 102 or the cover 103, and may be applied to a manufacturing element such as a fastening element or hook that protrudes out of the screw groove.

Meanwhile, an elastic fixing part is applied to control the position of the moving block 105 mounted on the moving plate 104 through the positioning hole 106.

The elastic fixing part forms the axial space 113 in the moving head 112 and seats the spring 114 in the space 113, and then moves the rolling member 115 to the lower plate 107 and the spring 114 as shown in FIG. The rolling member 115 is positioned between the positioning holes 106 in accordance with the position between the movements of the moving block 105 which slides the moving plate 104 by inserting between the rolling members 115 so as to receive the spring 114 elastic force. It is configured to be positioned at.

The coupling of the moving block 105 to the moving plate 104 first flanges the moving head 112 on the moving block 105 along the slide space 110 and the moving space 109 of the moving plate 107. Assemble by inserting), and when the assembly is completed, the lower plate 107 of the moving plate 105 is selected and mounted in one of the apparatus main body 102 or the cover 103, and the moving block 105 is the lower plate. 107 is fastened to the opposite side on which the slide module 101 is placed between the device body 102 and the cover 103. For example, when the lower plate 107 is fixed to the cover 103 as shown in FIG. 6, the mobile phone terminal to which the slide module 101 is applied by mounting the device body 102 on the moving head 112 of the moving block 105. Configure 100.

Assuming that the moving plate 104 is mounted on the cover 103, the moving block 105 may naturally be regarded as being mounted at a certain point of the device main body 102. If the moving plate 104 is mounted to the device main body 102, the moving block 104 may be mounted. In the case of mounting on the moving block 105 is fixed to the cover 103.

In the case of mounting the moving blade 104 on the cover 103 of the cover opening and closing operation of the mobile phone terminal 100 to which the slide module 101 and the slide module 101 according to the present invention are applied. Will be described as an example.

In this case, the device body 102 and the cover 103 are coupled to each other by the moving plate 104 and the moving block 105. Holding the device body 102 and pushing in one 'A' direction, the device body 102 and the cover 103 are opened while sliding. On the contrary, when the device body 102 is pushed in the 'B' direction, it returns to its original position and closes. 7 (a) and 7 (b) show the positional relationship between the moving plate 104 and the moving block 105 accordingly.

At this time, the moving block 105 of the device body 102 moves along the moving plate 104 fixed to the cover 103. Since the moving block 105 and the moving plate 104 are coupled to each other, the device body 102 ) Moves while sliding in a predetermined moving space without being separated from the cover 103.

The movement range of the device body 102 is the trajectory of the moving block 105 moving along the moving plate 104, and the positioning position of the device body 102 is determined according to the position of the positioning hole 106. The positioning of the device body 102 is performed in the process of moving the moving block 105 along the moving plate 104. The positioning hole 106 formed in the moving plate 104 is a rolling member of the moving block 105. If the coincidence with the (115), the rolling member 115 receives the elasticity of the spring 114, seating the rolling member 115 in the positioning hole 106 and fixed to the position. When the moving block 105 slides along the moving plate 104 or between movements, the rolling member 115 contacts the moving plate 104 in rolling contact with the moving plate 104 but rolls in the positioning hole 106 on the moving plate 104. When the member 115 reaches, the rolling member 115 is seated in the positioning hole 106 by the spring 114 elastic force to determine the position of the device body 102. When pushed again in this state, the rolling member 115 is moved away from the positioning hole 106 while contracting the spring 114 again. This operation is to move the device body 102 around the cover 103, but in the thin slim structure of the mobile phone terminal even if the device body 102 is operated around the cover 103, there is no problem in operation.

According to the position of the positioning hole 106 on the moving plate 104, the opening position or the end position of the cover 103 can be easily adjusted, and the positioning position of the cover can be set in multiple stages according to the number or the position adjustment. have.

6 illustrates a case in which the moving plate 104 is mounted on the cover 103, but it may be mounted on the device body 103. However, since the display unit or various function buttons are arranged on the plane of the device body 102, the lid 103 is more preferable for the mounting position of the moving plate 104.

The method of mounting the moving plate 104 to the cover 103 provides a space for fixing the moving plate 104 to the cover 103 in advance, and the moving plate 104 can be firmly fixed to the moving plate 104. A plurality of tips 116 may be installed on the 104 to be fixed through the method, and a shrinkage method may be used to fix the moving head 112 of the moving block 105 to the device body 102. The method of the method is to process the screw groove in the moving head 112 to be fixed to the machine main body 102 with a screw, or a one-touch hook coupling method or the like.

When the moving plate 104 and the moving block 105 are installed on the cover 103 and the device body 102, the moving plate 104 and the moving block 105 are formed of the lower / upper plates 107 and 108 of each other. It is coupled through the slide space 110 and the moving space 109 and also has a built-in elastic fixing for positioning, so that the slidability between the moving plate and the moving block or the moving block and the moving plate is stably ensured. This effectively works to prevent the gap between the front and rear, left and right movements, shaking, etc., and is particularly suitable to meet the requirements of lightweight, thin, slim mobile phone terminal.

In addition, the cover can be smoothly and precisely provided, while providing a high-touch operability against opening and closing through a positioning hole.In the design design of a mobile phone terminal, simply applying a slide module to maintain the slidability of the main body and the cover provides an excellent cover. The open / close structure can be completed, thus maintaining the versatility of the slide module.

As such, the present invention maintains close slidability between the cover and the device body by installing a slide module between the cover and the device body of the mobile phone terminal to prevent play or swing between the front, rear, left, and right movements when the cover is opened and closed. It has the effect of improving the operation reliability and durability, and in particular, it is possible to diversify the cover opening and closing structure, such as light weight, thin, and slim mobile phone terminal, and to meet various requirements.

In addition, the cover opening and closing structure of the mobile terminal has an effect that can provide a high-touch operability for opening and closing through the positioning hole while smoothly and accurately transporting the cover.
