The main body 100 includes a front case 110 and a rear case 120 which form a predetermined accommodation space therein in cooperation with each other, and inputs various information on the front of the front case 110. A keypad and various key buttons may be provided. For example, a QWERTY keypad having a QWERTY arrangement, which is an English standard keyboard, may be applied to the front surface of the main body 100, and a game keypad for inputting a signal related to a conventional keypad or game having a numeric arrangement may be applied. A keypad or the like may be appropriately arranged. In addition, a printed circuit board for various types of control may be accommodated in the main body 100.

The slide unit 200 is configured to include a front case 210 and a rear case 220 to form a predetermined receiving space therein in cooperation with each other, to output the image information on the front of the slide unit 200 The display unit may be provided.

The slide unit 200 may be slidably opened and closed while slidingly moving 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 tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the main body unit 100. It is composed. That is, the slide unit 200 is coupled to the main body portion 100 via a tilting frame 310 which is coupled to be tilted around one end thereof, and slides with respect to the tilting frame 310 to be opened and closed. After the sliding opening of the slide unit 200 is completed, the slide unit 200 may rotate together with the tilting frame 310 and may be tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the main body unit 100.

The tilting frame may be rotatably mounted directly to the main body, but hereinafter, the tilting frame 310 may be mounted on the first base frame 130 and the second base frame 140 mounted on the main body 100. An example that is rotatably coupled to the main body 100 will be described. In addition, the base frame (130,140) and the tilting frame 310 may be coupled to each other rotatably using a conventional rotation axis (150,160), the mounting structure and method of the tilting frame 310 is required conditions and design specifications It can be changed in various ways.

In addition, the slide unit 200 is configured to automatically tilt by the elastic force of the tilting spring (340, 350) after the sliding opening is completed. That is, the tilting springs 340 and 350 are provided to provide an elastic force so that the tilting frame 310 rotates in a tilting direction with respect to the main body 100 in an initial part of the tilting section of the tilting frame 310. After the opening of the unit 200 is completed (the slide unit 200 is moved to the upper portion of the main body 100), the tilting frame 310 may be automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350. .

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 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 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.

As described above, the tilting springs 340 and 350 are configured to provide an elastic force for tilting only in an initial part of the tilting section 310 of the tilting frame 310 (see S1 of FIG. 4), and the tilting of the tilting frame 310. In the non-acting section (see S2 of FIG. 4) in which the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 is not applied, the tilting frame 310 is configured to be free stop by the stopper means 500.

Here, the tilting section of the tilting frame 310 may be understood as the total angle of the section in 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. The elastic force by) is not applied to the tilting frame 310, and the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 may be maintained by the stopper means 500 in the non-operation section S2.

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 may approach the tilting frame 310. It may be configured to include a stopper spring 520 to provide an elastic force to move in the direction. As described above, the stopper member 510 may be elastically contacted to the tilting frame 310 by the stopper spring 520. As a result, the stopper member 510 is tilted by mutual frictional force between the stopper member 510 and the tilting frame 310. The tilting state of the frame 310 may be temporarily constrained and maintained.

In addition, a separate contact plate 312 for contacting the stopper member 510 may be provided at one side of the tilting frame 310. That is, the contact plate may be integrally formed at the end of the tilting frame 310 to be rotated integrally with the tilting frame 310, and the stopper member 510 is the contact plate in the non-operation section (S2) described above. 312 may be contacted. That is, the contact plate 312 is formed in a fan shape may be disposed to contact the stopper member 510 at a predetermined angle with respect to the rotation center of the tilting frame 310, the tilting section of the tilting frame 310 In the initial portion (S1) of the contact plate 312 to maintain the spaced apart from the stopper member 510, the tilting frame 310 to rotate by the tilting spring (340, 350), the tilting of the tilting frame 310 In the non-active section S2 of the section, the contact plate 312 may contact the stopper member as the tilting frame 310 rotates at a predetermined angle.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the contact plate 312 is described as an example in the form of a fan shape, but the shape and size of the contact plate 312 may be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications. In addition, the tip edge of the stopper member 510 in contact with the contact plate 312 is preferably rounded or chamfered to minimize wear and damage when contacted with the contact plate 312.

In the above-described and illustrated embodiments of the present invention, an example in which a separate contact plate 312 for contacting the stopper member 510 is integrally provided on one side of the tilting frame 310 is described. 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.

In addition, as described above, the stopper means 500 maintains the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 so that the tilting frame 310 can be free-stopped, and at the same time, the tilting of the tilting frame 310 is automatically tilted (tilting spring). It is possible to temporarily restrain before passing to the free stop section (S2) in the section (S1) the elastic force is applied (S340) (340,350). That is, assuming that the total tilting interval of the tilting frame 310 is approximately 50 °, the tilting frame 310 is tilted by the tilting springs 340 and 350 until the tilting angle of the tilting frame 310 becomes approximately 25 °. When automatically tilted, the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 may be temporarily constrained by the stopper means 500. After that, the user may manually tilt the temporarily tilting frame 310 by tilting the tilting frame. The tilting of 310 is allowed to proceed to the section after 25 °.

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 in that an operating shock occurs when the automatic tilting of the tilting frame 310 is completed, causing a user's discomfort, and an operating shock. Due to the possibility that the various elements and devices may be deformed or damaged by the device, the operation force and the operation 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 relieving speed 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, the rotation of 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.

On the other hand, the sliding coupling between the slide unit 200 and the tilting frame 310 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 slides with respect to the main body unit 100 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 upper portion of the tilting frame 310. An example configured to move and open and close will be described.

For example, the first rail plate 260 and the second rail plate 270 having a rectangular plate shape may be coupled to the rear case 220 of the slide part 200 at a predetermined interval to be spaced apart from each other. The first guide frame 320 partially accommodates the side ends of the first rail plate 260 and the second rail plate 270 and slides along the side ends of the rail plates 260 and 270 on the front surface of the part 100. ) And the second guide frame 330 may be combined. Substantially, an accommodating part (not shown) for accommodating each rail plate 260 and 270 may be formed on a rear surface of the rear case 220 of the slide part 200, and the rail plates 260 and 270 may be correspondingly accommodated. Received in each of the portions may be disposed substantially flat with the rear case 220 rear surface of the slide portion (200).

In addition, both side ends of the first guide frame 320 and the second guide frame 330 may partially accommodate side end portions of the rail plates 260 and 270, and thus, the first slide guide 321 and the second slide guide ( 331 may be integrally formed.

Inner wall surfaces of each of the slide guides 321 and 331 may be formed with guide grooves (not shown) having approximately “c” shapes so that both side ends of the corresponding rear case may be partially accommodated in a relative sliding manner. The guides 321 and 331 may slide along the side ends of the rail plates 260 and 270 in a state in which the side ends of the first rail plate 260 and the second rail plate 270 are partially accommodated.

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.

Here, each of the slide guides 321 and 331 may be formed of a conventional plastic material. However, polyacetal (polyacetal) is required because it is required to use a material having excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, and excellent dimensional stability even in a wide range of long-term use temperatures. It is preferable to be formed using a lubricity material having excellent self-lubricating properties and excellent fatigue resistance such as polyoxymethylene, polyamide and polyamide imide.

In the above-described and illustrated embodiments of the present invention, although the main body portion 100 and the tilting frame 310 are described as an example in which the rail plates 260 and 270 and the guide frames 320 and 330 are configured to slide to each other, In some cases, a guide bar may be provided on the rear surface of the slide unit, and the guide frame may be configured to slide along the guide bar.

In addition, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the slide unit 200 is described as an example in which the slide unit 200 is slidably moved along the width direction of the main body unit 100. The slide unit may be configured to slide, and the sliding direction of the slide unit with respect to the main body unit may be variously changed according to required conditions and design specifications.

On the other hand, the slide movement of the slide unit 200 with respect to the body portion 100 is elastically supported by the actuator 400 may be made in a semi-automatic manner. That is, one end of the actuator 400 is connected to the body portion 100 and the other end is connected to the slide portion 200 to elastically support the slide movement of the slide portion 200 with respect to the body portion 100. Can be.

For reference, in the present invention, the actuator 400 may include a conventional actuator used to provide an elastic force required for sliding opening and closing of the slide portion with respect to the main body portion in a conventional slide type personal portable terminal. The structure and manner of such actuators may be variously changed according to the required conditions and design specifications, and the number and mounting positions thereof are not limited or limited to the present invention. For example, a spring member such as a general torsion spring may be used as the actuator, and in some cases, a spring assembly modular with the spring member may be used.

In addition, the actuator 400 may be disposed in the slide unit 200. Of course, the actuator may be interposed between the main body portion and the slide portion so that the actuator is disposed outside the slide portion, but in this case, the actuator is exposed to the outside when the slide portion is opened and the appearance becomes complicated, and foreign matters such as dust are easily entangled. Therefore, the actuator is preferably arranged inside the slide portion.

Hereinafter, the actuator 400 is disposed between the rear case 220 of the slide unit 200 and each of the rail plates 260 and 270, one end of the actuator 400 is connected to the main body unit 100, and the other end of the slide unit 200 is slided. An example connected to the unit 200 and configured to elastically support the slide movement of the slide unit 200 with respect to the main body unit 100 will be described.

To this end, the second guide frame 330 to which one end of the actuator 400 is connected passes through the rear case 220 of the slide part 200 and has an extension part 332 disposed inside the slide part 200. It may be formed integrally, the actuator 400 is disposed inside the slide portion 200, one end may be connected to the rear case 220 of the slide portion 200, the other end is extended portion 332 Can be connected to. At this time, since the slide unit 200 slides with respect to the second guide frame 330, the rear case 220 of the slide unit 200 passes through the slot 224 for the slide movement of the extension unit 332. ) May be formed.

Hereinafter, the operation principle and operation structure of the tiltable slide type personal portable terminal according to the present invention will be described. In addition, the same or equivalent portions as those in the above-described configuration are denoted by the same or equivalent reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 5, even if the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 acts on the tilting frame 310 while the slide unit 200 is closed, the slide unit 200 is interfered by the main body unit 100 and the tilting frame ( Tilting of 310 may be constrained.

6 and 8, after the sliding opening of the slide part 200 is completed, the tilting interference of the slide part 200 by the main body part 100 may be released. Therefore, the tilting frame 310 may be automatically tilted by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350, and as a result, the slide part 200 may be tilted with respect to the main body part 100.

As described above, the tilting springs 340 and 350 provide an elastic force so that the tilting frame 310 can automatically tilt only in an initial part of the tilting period of the tilting frame 310. While the tilting frame 310 is tilted by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350, the damping gear 360 and the gear damper 170 may be rotated while being engaged, and consequently to the tilting springs 340 and 350. The actuation force and actuation speed can be alleviated. In addition, since the contact plate 312 and the stopper member 510 do not contact each other while the tilting frame 310 is tilted due to the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350, the contact plate 312 and the stopper member 510 are not in contact with each other. The frictional force due to the contact does not work.

Thereafter, when the tilting of the tilting frame 310 exceeds the above-described automatic tilting interval, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the elastic force by the tilting springs 340 and 350 does not act on the tilting frame 310. In addition, in the non-active section in which the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350 are not applied, the contact plate 312 and the stopper member 510 are in contact with each other, and the stopper spring 520 may be compressed. The stopper member 510 may be elastically contacted with the contact plate 312 by the elastic force of the spring 520, and consequently the tilting frame 310 by the mutual frictional force between the stopper member 510 and the tilting frame 310. Tilting state may be temporarily constrained and maintained.

In addition, since the damping gear 360 and the gear damper 170 are spaced apart from each other while the tilting state of the tilting frame 310 is maintained by mutual friction between the stopper member 510 and the contact plate 312. Damping force by the damping gear 360 and the gear damper 170 is not applied.

As described above, according to the present invention, the slide opening of the slide unit 200 is completed while the slide opening of the slide unit 200 is completed without the need for a separate tilting operation to tilt the slide unit 200 after the slide opening of the slide unit 200 is completed. The slide unit 200 may be automatically tilted for a certain period by the elastic force of the tilting springs 340 and 350. After the slide unit 200 is automatically tilted, the slide unit 200 may be tilted freely by the user in a free stop manner. The angle can be adjusted freely.

In the above-described and illustrated embodiments of the present invention, the tilting section of the tilting frame has been described with an example including an automatic tilting section and a free-stop section, but in some cases, the tilting frame is free-stopped in the entire tilting section of the tilting frame. It can be configured to.

In the structure in which the tilting frame is pre-stopped in the entire tilting section, a separate tilting spring may be excluded, and the aforementioned mutual frictional force between the stopper member and the tilting frame is configured to act from the first tilting of the tilting frame. That is, unlike the above-described embodiment in which the contact plate is spaced apart from the stopper member in the initial part of the tilting section of the tilting frame, the contact plate and the stopper member are tilted in the structure in which the tilting frame is pre-stopped in the entire tilting section. It is arranged to always contact in the entire tilting period of the frame (see FIG. 7). Accordingly, the user can freely adjust the tilting angle of the slide part in the entire tilting period of the slide part.

As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be variously modified and changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below I can understand that you can.
