The tilting springs 340 and 350 may be employed in various structures and manners. For example, a conventional torsion spring may be used as the tilting springs 340 and 350, and one end of the torsion spring may be inserted into the outer circumference of the rotating shaft so that one end of the torsion spring is supported on the tilting frame and the other end is supported on the base frame.

The tilting springs 340 and 350 mounted as described above provide an elastic force so that the tilting frame 310 rotates only in the tilting direction with respect to the main body 100, and the tilting frame 310 when the slide unit 200 is closed. Even if the elastic force is provided), the slide unit 200 may be interfered by the main body unit 100 and the tilting of the tilting frame 310 may be constrained. After the slide opening of the slide unit 200 is completed, the main body unit ( The restraint by 100 may be released and the tilting frame 310 may automatically tilt by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350.

Meanwhile, a damping means for attenuating the tilting force of the tilting frame 310 by the tilting springs 340 and 350 may be provided at one side of the tilting frame 310. That is, when the tilting frame 310 is tilted at an excessively high speed, there is a problem that an operating shock occurs when the tilting of the tilting frame 310 is completed, causing a user's discomfort, and Since various elements and devices may be deformed or damaged by the device, the operating force and the operating speed by the tilting springs 340 and 350 may be prevented from being tilted at an excessively high speed on one side of the tilting frame 310. Damping means for mitigating may be provided.

As the damping means, a conventional damping means commonly used in the market may be used, and is not limited or limited to the present invention by the type and operation manner of the damping means.

For example, the damping means is a damping gear 360 coupled to the rotation shaft 150 of the tilting frame 310, and is mounted on the body portion 100 and meshed with the damping gear 360 to rotate the damping gear 360 It may be configured to include a gear damper 170 to reduce. In addition, the gear portion of the gear damper 170 may be reduced in the rotational force and the rotational speed by the friction drag with the conventional damping fluid, such as oil and grease provided in the gear damper 170.

Meanwhile, the above-described tilting springs 340 and 350 may be configured to provide an elastic force for tilting only in some sections S1 of the tilting frames 310 of the tilting frames 310 and the tilting springs of the tilting frames 310 of the tilting frames 310. The tilting frame 310 may be configured to free stop in the non-operation section S2 in which the elastic force of the 340 and 350 is not applied.

Here, the tilting period of the tilting frame 310 may be understood as an overall angle at which the tilting frame is tilted with respect to the main body 100. For example, assuming that the total tilting interval of the tilting frame 310 is approximately 50 °, the tilting springs 340 and 350 may be configured to provide elastic force only until the tilting angle of the tilting frame 310 becomes approximately 25 °. After that, the section (non-active section in which the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 are not applied) S2 may be configured as a free stop section for freely adjusting the tilting angle of the tilting frame 310. In other words, the tilting frame 310 may be automatically tilted by an elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 up to 25 ° of the total tilting sections of the tilting frame 310, and then the section is tilted by a user's manual operation. The tilting angle of the frame 310 can be adjusted arbitrarily. In addition, one end of the tilting springs 340 and 350 is not supported on the base frame 130 and 140 in the non-operating section S2 in which the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 is not applied, and thus the tilting springs 340 and 350. Elastic force by) is not applied to the tilting frame (310).

In addition, the other side of the tilting frame 310 is a non-operational section in which the elastic force of the tilting spring (340, 350) and the tilting spring (340, 350) of the tilting frame 310 of the tilting frame 310 is applied to the other side of the tilting frame 310 A stopper means 500 for temporarily restraining the tilting frame 310 may be provided between S2. That is, the stopper means 500 is temporarily restrained before the tilting of the tilting frame 310 passes from the automatic tilting section (section in which the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 is applied) S1 to the free stop section S2. To be possible. As described above, assuming that the total tilting interval of the tilting frame 310 is approximately 50 °, the tilting frame 310 is tilted until the tilting angle of the tilting frame 310 is approximately 25 °. If the tilting is automatically performed by), the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 may be temporarily constrained by the stopper means 500, and then the user may manually tilt the temporarily tilting frame 310. When the tilting of the tilting frame 310 can be passed to the section after 25 °.

As the stopper means 500, stopper means of various structures and methods capable of temporarily restricting the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 may be employed. As an example, the stopper means 500 may include a stopper member 510 mounted to the main body 100 to access and space the tilting frame 310, and the stopper member 510 to approach the tilting frame 310. It may be configured to include an elastic member 520 to provide an elastic force. As described above, the stopper member 510 may be elastically contacted with the tilting frame 310 by the elastic member 520. As a result, the stopper member 510 may be tilted by the friction force between the stopper member 510 and the tilting frame 310. The tilting state of 310 may be temporarily constrained.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an example in which an additional contact plate (not shown) for contacting the stopper member 510 is integrally provided on one side of the tilting frame 310, but in some cases, the stopper member May be configured to be in direct contact with the tilting frame or to contact the stopper member based on another structure integrally connected to the tilting frame.

Hereinafter, the operation principle and operation structure of the slide-type personal portable terminal according to the present invention will be described. 7 is a view for explaining the operating principle of the slide-type personal portable terminal according to the present invention. In addition, Figures 8 to 10 are plan views for explaining the operation structure of the slide-type personal portable terminal according to the present invention, Figure 11 to Figure 13 is a slide-type personal portable terminal according to the present invention, explaining the tilting state of the slide unit It is a figure for following. In addition, the same or equivalent reference numerals are given to the same or equivalent components as those described above, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 7, since the slide unit 20 of the general terminal is configured to perform a tilting operation in a state in which the slide unit 20 is slid to the upper end of the main body unit 10, sliding and sliding of the slide unit 20 are performed. During tilting, the rear surface of the slide unit 20 is exposed to the outside, whereby the FPC 60 passing through the through hole formed on the rear surface of the slide unit is directly exposed to the outside. Furthermore, in order to minimize the exposure of the FPC ratio 60, the slide portion 20 should have a through hole formed at the bottom end of the rear surface, and the body portion 10 should have a pass hole formed at the top end portion thereof, but the FPC ratio passes therethrough. There is a problem that the length of the FPC is inevitably lengthened as the interval between the through-holes of the slide unit and the main body unit becomes larger.

However, according to the present invention, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, since the through hole 222 formed on the rear surface of the slide part 200 may be opened and closed by the door 230, the position and size of the through hole 222. It can be formed more freely, it is possible to form a shorter length of the flexible connection member 600. In other words, the through-hole 222 may be formed at a position capable of minimizing the length of the flexible connection member 600 regardless of external exposure, and the through-hole 222 during sliding and tilting of the slide part 200. Since the door 230 may have a minimum size, the exposure of the flexible connection member 600 may be minimized.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the slide part 200 of the terminal is closed, the main body part 100 and the slide part 200 are disposed to overlap each other. In this case, the door 230 may be disposed such that the passage hole 222 has a maximum size, and the passage hole 222 may maintain an open state.

Thereafter, when the terminal is used for making a call or confirming various kinds of information, the user may manually move the slide unit 200 while pushing it up. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, rail guides (see 260 and 270 of FIG. 2) coupled to the slide unit 200 as the slide unit 200 is pushed up to each guide frame coupled to the main body unit 100 (of FIG. 2). The slide unit 200 may slide along the upper portion of the main body 100.

At this time, since the actuator 400 is connected to the slide part 200 and the other end is connected to the main body part 100, the coil springs (see 406 and 407 of FIG. 4) when the slide part 200 moves upward. It is compressed and rotates in a clockwise direction, so that the door 230 connected to the actuator 400 slides downward in the direction of blocking the passage hole 222. That is, as the left end of the actuator 400 connected to the slide unit 200 is moved upward together with the slide unit 200 while the right end of the actuator 400 connected to the second guide frame 330 is stopped, the actuator 400 may rotate clockwise while compressing the coil springs 406 and 407, and as a result, the door 230 connected to the actuator 400 may slide downward in a downward direction.

Then, when the rotation of the actuator 400 exceeds the critical point, as shown in FIG. 10, each of the coil springs 406 and 407 that have been compressed is restored, and the actuator 400 is automatically clockwise by the restoring force of the coil springs 406 and 407. Rotate to, the slide movement of the slide unit 200 can be automatically implemented until the opening of the slide unit 200 is completed. At the same time, the downward slide movement of the door 230 connected to the actuator 400 may be completed together.

Meanwhile, after the sliding opening of the slide unit 200 is completed, the restraint by the main body unit 100 is released and the tilting frame 310 may be automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350. As shown in FIG. 12, the slide part 200 mounted on the tilting frame 310 may also be tilted with respect to the main body part 100. Accordingly, the user comfortably holds the image file and the video through the display unit of the slide unit 200 tilted with respect to the main body unit 100 while the terminal is mounted on a desk or shelf without the hassle of holding the terminal directly with one hand. You can appreciate it. In addition, even when the slide unit 200 is tilted to the main body unit 100, the door 230 may maintain a state in which the passage hole 222 on the rear surface of the slide unit 200 has a minimum size.

In addition, after the slide unit 200 is automatically tilted by a predetermined section by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350, the tilting angle may be freely adjusted in a free stop manner, and the user may arbitrarily adjust the tilting angle of the slide unit 200. The tilt angle can be adjusted (see Fig. 13).

On the other hand, after using the terminal can be closed by sliding down the slide unit 200 as opposed to when open. In the case of closing the slide unit 200, the door 230 connected to the actuator 400 is interlocked as the actuator 400 is rotated and slides upward in the direction of opening the passage hole 222, as in the case of opening. The closing operation of the slide unit 200 and the movement of the door 230 may be implemented in a semi-automatic manner by the actuator 400.

In the above-described and illustrated embodiments of the present invention, an actuator providing an elastic force necessary for sliding the slide part is described as an example configured to act as an interlocking means for interlocking the door during the slide operation of the slide part. A torsion spring for providing an elastic force necessary for sliding and an interlocking member for interlocking the door during the slide operation of the slide unit may be separately provided.

The opening and closing method and the opening and closing structure of the door 230 ′ may be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications. For example, the door 230 ′ may be provided to be slidably movable on the slide portion 200 ′, and may be configured to interlock when the slide portion 200 ′ slides and to open and close the through hole 222 ′. have. Alternatively, the door may be provided to be rotatable about a point on the slide, and may be configured to open and close the through hole while rotating the slide about the point on the slide when the slide is moved.

Hereinafter, the door 230 ′ is provided to be slidably movable on the slide unit 200 ′, and is interlocked by an interlocking member 280 that is operated when the slide unit 200 ′ slides and moves the through hole 222 ′. An example configured to slide open and close will be described.

That is, one end of the interlocking member 280 is pivotally connected to the main body portion 100 'and the other end is pivotally connected to the slide portion 200' so that the slide member 200 'can be operated when the slide portion 200' is moved. The door 230 ′ connected to the 280 is interlocked by the interlocking member 280 when the slide 200 ′ slides, and the opening hole 222 ′ has a minimum size in the open state of the slide 200 ′. The through hole 222 ′ may be disposed to have a maximum size in the closed state of the slide part 200 ′.

Here, one end of the interlocking member 280 may be pivotally connected on the slide part 200 ′ through the connecting member 290 passing through the long hole 282 formed in the interlocking member 280. That is, one end of the interlocking member 280 may be formed with a long hole 282 having a predetermined width and length in the longitudinal direction, the connecting member 290 passes through the long hole 282 and the connecting member 290 One end of the slide portion 200 'is pivotally connected. In addition, the connecting member 290 connected to the slide portion 200 ′ through the long hole 282 pivotally connects the slide portion 200 ′ and the connecting member 290 along the long hole 282. You can move the slide. In some cases, it may be configured to form a long hole on the slide portion and the connecting member passes through the long hole and pivotally connected to one end of the interlocking member.

In addition, a connection pin 292 may be coupled to one surface of the door 230 ', and the connection pin 292 passes through the long hole 282 of the interlocking member 280 and is coupled to the door 230'. Thus, the interlocking member 280 and the door 230 ′ may be mechanically connected. As such, the door 230 ′ mechanically connected to the interlocking member 280 may be slid by the interlocking member 280 when the slide unit 200 ′ slides to open and close the passage hole 222 ′.

On the other hand, the sliding coupling between the body portion 100 'and the slide portion 200' may be implemented by a conventional sliding coupling method, it may be variously changed according to the required conditions and design specifications.

Hereinafter, the slide unit 200 is provided through the rail plates 260 'and 270' coupled to the rear surface of the slide unit 200 'and the guide frames 320' and 330 'coupled to the front surface of the main body unit 100'. ') Will be described with an example configured to be opened and closed by slidingly moving with respect to the main body portion 100'.

For example, the first rail plate 240 ′ and the second rail plate 250 ′ having a rectangular plate shape may be spaced apart from each other at a rear surface of the rear case 220 ′ of the slide part 200 ′ at predetermined intervals. The front surface of the main body portion 100 ′ partially accommodates side ends of the first rail plate 240 ′ and the second rail plate 250 ′ and slides along side ends of each rail plate 240 and 250 ′. The moving first guide frame and the second guide frame 320 ', 330' may be combined.

In addition, both side ends of the first guide frame 320 ′ and the second guide frame 330 ′ may include first slide guides 321 ′ to partially accommodate side ends of the rail plates 260 ′ and 270 ′. ) And the second slide guide 331 ′ may be integrally formed.

Each slide guide may slide along the side ends of the rail plates while partially receiving the side ends of the first rail plate and the second rail plate.

The slide guides 321 ′ and 331 ′ may be integrally formed on the corresponding guide frames by insert injection molding together with the corresponding guide frames 320 ′ and 330 ′. In some cases, the slide guide may be integrally formed on the guide frame through a method other than the insert injection molding method. For example, after the slide guide is manufactured separately, it may be configured to be integrally fixed to the guide frame through a conventional fastening or bonding method.

In addition, the sliding coupling method of the door 230 ′ provided to be slidably movable on the slide unit 200 ′ may also be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications.

For example, a first guide plate and a second guide plate may be coupled to an inner surface of the rear case 220 'of the slide part 200' to cover both side ends of the passage hole 222 ', and the door ( 230 'may be interposed between the rear case of the slide portion 200' and each guide plate to slide. Each guide plate may be fastened onto the rear case through a conventional fastening member such as a screw, and may be mounted to the rear case in various ways according to the required conditions and design specifications. In some cases, the door may be configured to slide on the slide using other sliding elements such as guide frames and guide bars.

On the other hand, the above-described interlocking member 280 may be disposed inside the slide portion 200 '. Of course, the interlocking member may be interposed between the main body and the slide unit so that the interlocking member is disposed outside the slide unit. In this case, the interlocking member is exposed to the outside when the sliding unit is opened and the appearance becomes complicated, and foreign matters such as dust are easily entangled. Because of this, the interlocking member 280 is preferably disposed inside the slide portion 200 '.

To this end, the second guide frame 330 'to which one end of the interlocking member 280 is connected extends through the rear case 220' of the slide part 200 'and is disposed inside the slide part 200'. The portion 332 'may be integrally formed, and the interlocking member 280 may be disposed inside the slide portion 200', and one end thereof may be connected to the rear case 220 'of the slide portion 200'. And the other end may be connected to the extension 332 '. In this case, since the slide unit 200 'slides with respect to the second guide frame 330', the slide unit 200 'may move to the rear case 220' of the slide unit 200 'to move the extension unit 332'. Pass slot 224 ′ may be formed.

One end of the torsion springs 410 'and 420' is connected to the main body 100 'and the other end of the torsion springs 410' and 420 'is connected to the slide 200' to slide the slide 200 'with respect to the main body 100'. Make it possible to elastically support movement. The shape and characteristics of the torsion springs 410 ′ and 420 ′ may be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications, and are not limited or limited to the present invention by the number and mounting positions thereof. Hereinafter, an example in which first torsion springs 410 'and second torsion springs 420' are provided at both sides with the interlocking member 280 therebetween will be described.

In addition, the torsion springs 410 ′ and 420 ′ may be disposed between the rear case 220 ′ of the slide unit 200 ′ and the rail plates 260 ′ and 270 ′. Of course, the torsion spring may be interposed between the body portion and the slide portion so as to be disposed outside the slide portion, but in this case, the torsion spring is exposed to the outside when the slide portion is opened and the appearance becomes complicated, and foreign matter such as dust is easily entangled. Since there is a problem, the torsion springs 410 'and 420' are preferably disposed between the rear case 220 'of the slide portion 200' and the rail plates 260 'and 270'.

To this end, each of the guide frames 320 'and 330' to which one end of the torsion springs 410 'and 420' are connected is connected to the rear case 220 'of the rail plates 260' and 270 'and the slide portion 200'. The connecting portions 324 and 334 may be integrally formed to be disposed between the respective torsion springs. Each of the torsion springs 410 'and 420' may include a rear case 220 'and a rail plate 260' and 270 of the slide portion 200 '. Disposed between '), one end may be connected to the rail plates 260' and 270 ', and the other end may be connected to the connecting portions 324 and 334.

In addition, the above-described slide unit 200 ′ may slide and open and slide with respect to the main body unit 100 ′. After the sliding opening of the slide unit 200 ′ is completed, the slide unit 200 ′ may be predetermined for the main body unit 100 ′. It may be configured to tilt at an angle.

The tilting structure of the slide part 200 'with respect to the main body part 100' may be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications. Hereinafter, the slide part 200 'is connected to the main body part 100' via the first tilting frame 312 and the second tilting frame 314, which are coupled to the main body part 100 'so as to be tilted about one end thereof. An example configured to be tilted will be described.

That is, the first tilting frame 312 and the second tilting frame 314 may be tiltably coupled to the upper end of the main body portion 100 ', and the aforementioned first guide frame 320' and the second guide may be tilted. The frame 330 ′ may be mounted on the corresponding tilting frames 312 and 314. Accordingly, the slide part 200 'may be slid with respect to the tilting frames 312 and 314 on which the guide frames 320' and 330 'are mounted, and tilt after the sliding opening of the slide part 200' is completed. It rotates with the frames 312 and 314 and may be tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the body portion 100 ′.

Here, the tilting frame may be rotatably mounted directly to the main body, but hereinafter, the first base frame 130 'and the second base frame 140 on which the tilting frames 312 and 314 are mounted to the main body 100'. It will be described with an example rotatably coupled on the main body portion 100 'via'). In addition, the base frame (130 ', 140') and the tilting frame (312,314) can be coupled to each other rotatably using a conventional rotation axis (150 ', 160'), and the mounting structure of the tilting frame (312,314) and The method can be varied in various ways depending on the requirements and design specifications.

In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, the slide part 200 ′ may be configured to automatically tilt by the elastic force of the tilting spring (see 340 and 350 of FIG. 2) after the sliding opening is completed. That is, the tilting spring is provided to provide an elastic force so that the tilting frame rotates in the tilting direction with respect to the main body portion 100 ', and after the opening of the slide portion 200' is completed (the main body 100 ') The slide unit 200 ′ is slid upward so that the front surface is exposed to the outside. The tilting frames 312 and 314 may be automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting spring.

Such tilting springs can be employed in a variety of structures and manners. As an example, a conventional torsion spring may be used as the tilting spring, and one end of the tilting spring may be inserted and installed on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft so that the other end is supported on the tilting frame and the other end is supported on the base frame.

The tilting springs mounted as described above provide an elastic force so that the tilting frames 312 and 314 rotate only in the tilting direction with respect to the main body portion 100 ', and the tilting frames 312 and 314 are closed when the slide portion 200' is closed. Even if an elastic force is provided to the slide unit 200 ', the slide unit 200' is interfered by the main body unit 100 'and the tilting of the tilting frames 312 and 314 may be constrained. After the slide opening of the slide unit 200' is completed, the main unit The restraint by the part 100 'is released and the tilting frames 312 and 314 can be automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting spring.

In addition, as described above, a damping means (see 170, 360 of FIG. 2) may be provided at one side of the tilting frames 312 and 314 to attenuate the tilting force of the tilting frame by the tilting spring. That is, when the tilting frame is tilted at an excessively high speed, there is a problem that an operation shock occurs when the tilting of the tilting frame is completed, there is a problem causing user discomfort, and various elements and devices are Since there is a risk of deformation or breakage, one side of the tilting frame may be provided with a damping means for reducing the operating force and the operating speed of the tilting spring to prevent the tilting frame from being tilted at an excessively high speed.

As the damping means, a conventional damping means commonly used in the market may be used, and is not limited or limited to the present invention by the type and operation manner of the damping means.

The tilting spring may be configured to provide an elastic force for tilting only in a part of the tilting sections of the tilting frames 312 and 314 (see S1 of FIG. 13), and the tilting springs of the tilting frames of the tilting frames 312 and 314. The tilting frames 312 and 314 may be configured to free stop in the non-active section (see S2 of FIG. 13) where the elastic force is not applied.

Here, the tilting period of the tilting frames 312 and 314 may be understood as an overall angle of tilting the tilting frames 312 and 314 with respect to the main body 100 '. For example, assuming that the total tilting interval of the tilting frames 312 and 314 is approximately 50 °, the tilting spring may be configured to provide elastic force only until the tilting angle of the tilting frames 312 and 314 is approximately 25 °, and thereafter. The section (non-acting section in which the elastic force of the tilting spring is not applied) S2 may be configured as a free stop section for freely adjusting the tilting angles of the tilting frames 312 and 314. In other words, the tilting frames 312 and 314 may be automatically tilted by an elastic force of the tilting spring up to 25 ° of the total tilting sections of the tilting frames 312 and 314, and the sections thereafter may be tilted frames 312 and 314 by manual operation of a user. Tilt angle can be adjusted arbitrarily. In addition, in the non-acting section S2 in which the elastic force of the tilting spring is not applied, one end of the tilting spring is not supported on the base frame and is disposed in the free end state, so that the elastic force of the tilting spring is not applied to the tilting frame.

In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, the other side of the tilting frame (312,314) of the tilting section of the tilting frame in which the elastic force of the tilting spring is applied (see S1 of FIG. 13) and the non-elastic force of the tilting spring is not applied A stopper means (see 500 in FIG. 2) may be provided for temporarily restraining the tilting frame between the operating sections (see S2 in FIG. 13). In other words, the stopper means allows the tilting of the tilting frame to be temporarily constrained before passing to the free-stop section in the automatic tilting section (section in which the elastic force of the tilting spring is applied). As described above, assuming that the total tilting interval of the tilting frame is approximately 50 °, if the tilting frame is automatically tilted by the tilting spring until the tilting angle of the tilting frame becomes approximately 25 °, by the stopper means The tilting state of the tilting frame may be temporarily constrained. Then, if the user manually manipulates the temporarily constrained tilting frame, the tilting of the tilting frame may be transferred to a section after 25 °. As the stopper means, a stopper means of various structures and methods capable of temporarily restraining the tilting state of the tilting frame may be employed, and the present invention is not limited or limited by the structure and method of the stopper means.

Hereinafter will be described the operation structure of the slide-type personal portable terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention. 18 to 20 are plan views for explaining the operation structure of the slide-type personal portable terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same or equivalent reference numerals are given to the same or equivalent components as those described above, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 18, when the slide part 200 ′ of the terminal is closed, the main body part 100 ′ and the slide part 200 ′ are arranged to overlap each other. In this case, the door 230 ′ may be disposed such that the passage hole 222 ′ has the maximum size, and the passage hole 222 ′ may be kept open.

Thereafter, when the terminal is used for making a call or checking various information, the user may manually move the slide unit 200 'while pushing it up. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, as the slide part 200 ′ is pushed up, the rail plate coupled to the slide part 200 ′ slides along each guide frame coupled to the main body part 100 ′, and the slide part ( 200 'may slide to an upper portion of the main body 100'.

At this time, since the interlocking member 280 is connected to the slide unit 200 'at one end through the connecting member 290 and the other end is connected to the main body unit 100', the slide member 200 'is upward. When the slide is moved in the clockwise direction, the door 230 ′ connected to the interlocking member 280 slides downward in the direction of blocking the passage hole 222 ′. That is, in the state in which the right end of the interlocking member 280 connected to the second guide frame 330 'is stopped, the connecting member 290 connected to the slide 200' is moved upward together with the slide 200 '. Accordingly, the connecting member 290 moves along the long hole 282 of the interlocking member 280 and allows the interlocking member 280 to rotate clockwise. As the interlocking member 280 rotates in a clockwise direction, the door 230 ′ connected to the interlocking member 280 may slide downward in a downward direction. In addition, during the initial movement of the slide unit 200 ′, each of the torsion springs 410 and 420 is compressed in a state in which elastic force is accumulated.

Thereafter, when the slide movement of the slide unit 200 'exceeds the critical point of the torsion springs 410 and 420, each of the compressed torsion springs 410 and 420 is restored and the restoring force of the torsion springs 410 and 420 is restored. The slide movement of the slide portion 200 'may be automatically implemented until the opening of the slide portion 200' is completed, and at the same time, the soft eastern member 280 rotates in a clockwise direction, and the linkage member 280 The downward slide movement of the door 230 ′ connected to the bottom side may also be completed.

On the other hand, after the sliding opening of the slide portion 200 'is completed, the restraint by the main body portion 100' is released and the tilting frames 312 and 314 are automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting spring (see 340 and 350 of FIG. 2). The slide unit 200 ′ mounted on the tilting frames 312 and 314 may also be tilted with respect to the main body unit 100 ′. In addition, even when the slide portion 200 'is tilted to the main body portion 100', the door 230 'has a state in which the passage hole 222' on the rear surface of the slide portion 200 'has a minimum size. (See FIGS. 11 and 12).

In addition, after the slide unit 200 'is automatically tilted for a predetermined period by the elastic force of the tilting spring, the tilting angle may be freely adjusted by the free stop method, and the user may arbitrarily tilt the slide unit 200'. The angle can be adjusted (see Fig. 13).

On the other hand, after using the terminal can be closed by sliding down the slide portion (200 ') as opposed to when opened. In the case of closing the slide part 200 ', the door 230' connected to the interlocking member 280 is interlocked as the interlocking member 280 is rotated as in the case of opening, and upwards in the direction of opening the passage hole 222 '. The slide may move, and the closing operation of the slide unit 200 'and the movement of the door 230' may be implemented in a semi-automatic manner by a torsion spring.
