Referring also to fig. 1 to 4, a mobile terminal 10 includes a body 100, a display 200 and a function module 300. The body 100 is an assembly carrier of the display screen 200 and the functional module 300, the display screen 200 forms a fixed connection with the body 100, the functional module 300 is slidably disposed on the body 100, and the body 100 can be made of a metal material, for example, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. The body 100 includes a first surface 110, a second surface 120, and a side circumferential surface 130 connecting the first surface 110 and the second surface 120, which are disposed opposite to each other, which may be understood as being disposed opposite to each other. Assuming that a plane parallel to the display screen 200 is defined at a point in the thickness direction of the side peripheral surface 130, all positions on the first surface 110 may be located on one side of the plane, and all positions on the second surface 120 may be located on the other opposite side of the plane. Wherein the display screen 200 is loaded on one side of the first surface 110 of the body 100. One side of the first surface 110 of the body 100 may be concave to form a receiving cavity such that the first surface 110 of the body 100 eventually appears to be non-planar, but has a combination of multiple stepped faces. The edge of the display screen 200 may be mounted on one of the stepped surfaces. The outer surface of the display screen 200 may be flush with the step surface at the highest position of the first surface 110, or may be a step surface slightly protruding from the highest position of the first surface 110. The display screen 200 is at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity formed by the body 100 in the thickness direction. The housing cavity formed in the body 100 may also be used to house other components of the mobile terminal 10, such as a control module, a power module, a driver, etc. In order to place the other components, the accommodating cavity may further have a bump, a board, or other structures, and the portion of the body 100 opposite to the second surface 120 is a portion of the first surface 110 of the body 100, regardless of the specific configuration of the accommodating cavity.

In some embodiments, the body 100 may include a middle frame. The two opposite end surfaces of the middle frame are the first surface 1101 and the second surface 120, and the outer wall surface of the middle frame is the side peripheral surface 130. The middle frame is surrounded to form the accommodating cavity. The display screen 200 is coupled to one of the end surfaces of the middle frame, and the display screen 200 is at least partially positioned in the receiving cavity in the thickness direction. The inner wall of the middle frame may be provided with a board body for mounting other components of the mobile terminal 10, such as a control module, a power module, a driving member, etc. In some embodiments, the body 100 may further include a rear cover coupled with the other end surface of the middle frame to seal the receiving cavity at one side of the second surface 120 of the body 100 such that an outer surface of the rear cover becomes the second surface 120 of the body 100. The second surface 120 may be planar, curved, or mostly planar with portions protruding to form convex structures.

The side circumferential surface 130 of the body 100 is provided with grooves, holes, etc. for assembling elements for realizing specific functions, or peripheral elements for realizing specific elements are detachably connected with the mobile terminal 10, or are channels for inputting and outputting signals such as sound. The body 100 has a rectangular block shape, and the cross section of the side circumferential surface 130 may be linear or curved. The side circumferential surface 130 includes a first side circumferential surface 131, a second side circumferential surface 132, a third side circumferential surface 133 and a fourth side circumferential surface 134, where the third side circumferential surface 133 is opposite to the fourth side circumferential surface 134, the first side circumferential surface 131 is opposite to the second side circumferential surface 132, and the four side circumferential surfaces are connected end to form a contour of a circular angular rectangle. In other embodiments, the profile of the side circumferential surface 130 may be rectangular, circular, or other shapes. The second side peripheral surface 132 may be provided with a power key and a volume key, and functions such as lighting the display 200 of the mobile terminal 10 may be achieved by operation of the power key. By operating the volume control key, the volume of the audio information of the mobile terminal 10 can be adjusted. A connection port, for example, one or more of a USB interface, etc., an earphone hole, etc., may be provided on the fourth side peripheral surface 134.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the display 200 is electrically connected to the function module 300, the control module, etc. for displaying information. In an embodiment, the display screen 200 is a touch display screen 200, and the user operates the information displayed on the display screen 200 by means of touch operation. The diagonal of the display screen 200 has a length of 4 inches to 8 inches. Further, the ratio of the area of the display screen 200 for displaying to the area of the second surface 120 of the body 100 is not less than 85%. If the ratio of the area of the display screen 200 to the area of the second surface 120 of the body 100 is large, it intuitively appears that the distance of each edge of the display screen 200 from the side circumferential surface 130 of the body 100 is small, so that the display screen 200 covers almost all the area of one side of the first surface 110 of the body 100.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, a portion of the second surface 120 is recessed toward the first surface 110 to form a connection surface 141 and a countersunk surface 142, one end of the connection surface 141 is connected to the second surface 120, the other end of the connection surface 141 is connected to the countersunk surface 142, the connection surface 141 and the countersunk surface 142 just define a groove 140, and the groove 140 penetrates through the first side peripheral surface 131, the second side peripheral surface 132 and the third side peripheral surface 133 at the same time, and the groove 140 forms a step on the body 100.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, fig. 7 to 8, the functional module 300 may include a slider 310 and components, where the components include at least one of a receiver, a camera 321, an infrared lens, a floodlight sensing element, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, and a dot matrix projector. The receiver may be an earpiece 322. The sliding block 310 is slidably disposed in the groove 140, the camera 321 and the receiver 322 are mounted on the sliding block 310, the sliding block 310 slides relative to the body 100, that is, the sliding block 310 can slide from the first position 410 to the second position 420, when the sliding block 310 is in the first position 410, the camera 321 and the receiver 322 are hidden in the groove 140, that is, when the camera 321 and the receiver 322 are observed from one side of the first surface 110 towards the display screen 200, the camera 321 and the receiver 322 cannot be observed by naked eyes; when the slider 310 slides from the first position 410 and finally reaches the second position 420, the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 are exposed outside the groove 140, and the sound outlet of the earpiece 322 faces the side of the first surface 110, and at this time, when the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 are observed from the side of the first surface 110 toward the display screen 200, naked eyes will observe.

Because the functional module 300 is slidably matched with the groove 140 as a whole, the functional module 300 does not occupy the space on the side corresponding to the first surface 110, so that the display area of the display screen 200 can be as large as possible, and the high screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal 10 is realized. When front-end photography or video call is required, the slider 310 can be slid to the second position 420, and the camera 321 will collect images, and of course, the receiver 322 can send out sound signals, so that the user can conveniently answer. In some embodiments, the functional module 300 may further include at least one component of an infrared lens, a floodlight sensing element, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, a speaker, a microphone, and a dot matrix projector, which may be mounted on the slider 310.

Referring also to fig. 1 to 4, in some embodiments, four side circumferential surfaces are connected in a rounded rectangular profile or a rectangular profile, the length of the first side circumferential surface 131 is equal to the length of the second side circumferential surface 132, the length of the third side circumferential surface 133 is equal to the length of the fourth side circumferential surface 134, when the length of the third side circumferential surface 133 is smaller than the length of the first side circumferential surface 131, the direction in which the third side circumferential surface 133 and the fourth side circumferential surface 134 extend may be referred to as the width direction of the body 100, the width direction may be referred to as the first direction, the direction in which the first side circumferential surface 131 and the second side circumferential surface 132 extend may be referred to as the length direction of the body 100, the length direction may be referred to as the third direction, the direction in which the diagonal of the rounded rectangle or rectangular is the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction may be at a sharp angle. At this time, the sliding of the slider 310 in the groove 140 from the first position 410 to the second position 420 relative to the body 100 may take three forms, for example, referring to fig. 2 to 4, the sliding of the slider 310 carrier camera 321 and the earpiece 322 from the first position 410 along the third direction, passing over the third side peripheral surface 133 therebetween, and finally reaching the second position 420 may be simply understood as the sliding of the slider 310 vertically out of the groove 140. As another example, the slider 310 carries the camera 321 and earpiece 322 to slide in a first direction from the first position 410, past the first side peripheral surface 131 therebetween, and finally to the second position 420, which may be simply understood as the slider 310 sliding laterally out of the recess 140. For another example, referring to fig. 10 to 11, when the slider 310 carries the camera 321 or the earpiece 322 to slide from the first position 410 along the second direction, and passes over the third side circumferential surface 133 and the first side circumferential surface 131 at the same time, and finally reaches the second position 420, it can be simply understood that the slider 310 slides obliquely out of the groove 140.

Referring also to fig. 6 to 9, in some embodiments, when the length of the third side circumferential surface 133 is greater than the length of the first side circumferential surface 131, the direction in which the first side circumferential surface 131 and the second side circumferential surface 132 extend may be referred to as a width direction of the body 100, which is the first direction. The direction in which the third side circumferential surface 133 and the fourth side circumferential surface 134 extend may be referred to as a length direction of the body 100, the length direction being a third direction, and likewise, a direction in which a diagonal line of the rounded rectangle or the right-angled rectangle extends is a second direction, the first direction and the second direction forming a sharp angle. When the slider 310 carries the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 over the third side circumferential surface 133 to reach the second position 420, the slider 310 slides out of the groove 140 laterally, when the slider 310 carries the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 over the first side circumferential surface 131 to reach the second position 420, the slider 310 slides out of the groove 140 vertically, and when the slider 310 carries the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 over the first side circumferential surface 131 and the third side circumferential surface 133 to reach the second position 420 simultaneously, the slider 310 slides out of the groove 140 obliquely.

Referring to fig. 11, in some embodiments, a portion of the counter top 142 is recessed toward the first surface 110 to form a sliding groove 143, an end portion of the sliding groove 143 penetrates through the third side peripheral surface 133, the sliding block 310 is slidably matched with the sliding groove 143, the sliding groove 143 guides the sliding of the sliding block 310, and the extending direction of the sliding groove 143 may be the same as the first direction, the second direction, the third direction, and the sliding block 310 may slide out of the groove 140 transversely, vertically, or obliquely. In some embodiments, the sliding groove 143 may also be formed on the sliding block 310, and of course, a guide rail matched with the sliding block 310 is disposed on the counter top 142.

The counter top 142 may be parallel to the second surface 120, in some embodiments, the connection surface 141 is a plane, referring to fig. 7, a connection line 121 is formed between the connection surface 141 (referring to fig. 9) and the second surface 120, the connection line 121 is perpendicular to the first side peripheral surface 131, the cross-sectional shape of the slider 310 and the shape of the counter top 142 are both substantially rectangular, referring to fig. 2, when the connection line 121 forms a sharp angle with the first side peripheral surface 131, the cross-sectional shape of the slider 310 and the shape of the counter top 142 are both substantially rectangular trapezoid. In some embodiments, the connecting surface 141 is a curved surface, and the connecting line 121 connecting the surface 141 and the second surface 120 is a V-shaped fold line, a W-shaped fold line, an S-shaped curve, or the like. The slider 310 and the groove 140 shape change following the change in shape of the connection line 121, thereby enabling the mobile terminal 10 to present a different external shape to the user.

Referring to both fig. 3 and 4, the slider 310 includes an inner surface 315, an outer surface 316, and an outer peripheral surface. The inner surface 315 and the outer surface 316 are disposed opposite each other, with the outer peripheral surface being connected between the inner surface 315 and the outer surface 316, the inner surface 315 being closer to the counter top 142 than the outer surface 316, and the inner surface 315 being opposite the counter top 142 when the slider 310 is mated with the groove 140. The outer peripheral surfaces include a first outer peripheral surface 311, a second outer peripheral surface 312, a third outer peripheral surface 313 and a fourth outer peripheral surface 314, the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the second outer peripheral surface 312 are disposed opposite to each other, the third outer peripheral surface 313 and the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 are disposed opposite to each other, the third outer peripheral surface 313 is connected to one end of the first outer peripheral surface 311 and one end of the second outer peripheral surface 312, the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 is connected to the other end of the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the second outer peripheral surface 312, and the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 is adapted to the shape of the connection surface 141.

Referring to fig. 2 to 6, in the case that the slider 310 reaches the second position 420 only over the third peripheral surface 133, when the slider 310 is at the first position 410, the first peripheral surface 311 is flush with the first peripheral surface 131, the second peripheral surface 312 is flush with the second peripheral surface 132, the third peripheral surface 313 is flush with the third peripheral surface 133, and the fourth peripheral surface 314 abuts against the connection surface 141; when the slider 310 is at the second position 420, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is flush with the first side peripheral surface 131, the second outer peripheral surface 312 is flush with the second side peripheral surface 132, the third outer peripheral surface 313 is located entirely outside the groove 140 and is offset from the third side peripheral surface 133, and the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 is located entirely inside the groove 140 and is spaced apart from the connecting surface 141. In the process of sliding from the first position 410 to the second position 420, since the slider 310 moves only in the longitudinal direction or the width direction with respect to the body 100, the distance between the third outer circumferential surface 313 and the third side circumferential surface 133 gradually increases, and the distance between the fourth outer circumferential surface 314 and the connection surface 141 gradually increases.

In the case that the slider 310 reaches the second position 420 only beyond the first lateral peripheral surface 131, when the slider 310 is in the first position 410, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is flush with the first lateral peripheral surface 131, the second outer peripheral surface 312 is flush with the second lateral peripheral surface 132, the third outer peripheral surface 313 is flush with the third lateral peripheral surface 133, and the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 abuts against the connecting surface 141; when the slider 310 is at the second position 420, the third peripheral surface 313 is flush with the third side peripheral surface 133, the fourth peripheral surface 314 abuts against the connecting surface 141, the first peripheral surface 311 is located entirely outside the groove 140 and is offset from the first side peripheral surface 131, and the second peripheral surface 312 is located entirely inside the groove 140 and is spaced apart from the second side peripheral surface 132 by a certain distance. In the process of sliding from the first position 410 to the second position 420, since the slider 310 moves only in the longitudinal direction or the width direction with respect to the body 100, the distance between the first outer circumferential surface 311 and the first side circumferential surface 131 gradually increases, and the distance between the second outer circumferential surface 312 and the second side circumferential surface 132 gradually increases.

Referring to fig. 10 to 11, in the case where the slider 310 simultaneously passes over the first side circumferential surface 131 and the third side circumferential surface 133 to reach the second position 420, when the slider 310 is in the first position 410, the first outer circumferential surface 311 is flush with the first side circumferential surface 131, the second outer circumferential surface 312 is flush with the second side circumferential surface 132, the third outer circumferential surface 313 is flush with the third side circumferential surface 133, and the fourth outer circumferential surface 314 abuts against the connection surface 141; when the slider 310 is at the second position 420, the first outer peripheral surface 311 is located entirely outside the groove 140 and is offset from the first side peripheral surface 131, the third outer peripheral surface 313 is located entirely outside the groove 140 and is offset from the third side peripheral surface 133, the second outer peripheral surface 312 is offset from the second side peripheral surface 132, a part of the second outer peripheral surface 312 is located inside the groove 140, another part is located outside the groove 140, the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 is spaced from the connecting surface 141, and a part of the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 is located inside the groove 140, and another part is located outside the groove 140. In the process of sliding from the first position 410 to the second position 420, since the slider 310 moves a distance in both the longitudinal direction and the width direction with respect to the body 100, the distance between the first outer peripheral surface 311 and the first side peripheral surface 131, the distance between the second outer peripheral surface 312 and the second side peripheral surface 132, the distance between the third outer peripheral surface 313 and the third side peripheral surface 133, and the distance between the fourth outer peripheral surface 314 and the connection surface 141 are gradually increased.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the slider 310 may be an L-shape or a flat-bottom U-shape, where the slider 310 includes a flat plate portion and a bent portion 302, and the flat plate portion and the bent portion 302 enclose a guide slot. When the cross section is L-shaped, the number of the bending parts 302 is one, the bending parts 302 are only positioned on one end part of the flat plate part, and the guide groove is an L-shaped groove; when the cross-sectional shape is U-shaped, the number of the bending parts 302 is two, the bending parts 302 are simultaneously positioned on two end parts of the flat plate part, and the guide groove is a U-shaped groove. When the body 100 is matched with the guide groove, the bending part 302 wraps the first side peripheral surface 131 and the second side peripheral surface 132 of the body 100, and the sliding of the sliding block 310 relative to the body 100 is smoother and more accurate through the positioning function of the bending part 302, so that the reliability of the matching between the sliding block 310 and the body 100 is ensured, and the clamping stagnation or shaking phenomenon of the sliding block 310 in the sliding process is avoided. Of course, during sliding, one of the surfaces of the bent portion 302 may always be kept flush with the first surface 110.

The sliding block 310 of the sliding block 310 opposite to the body 100 may be manually operated, or may be automatically operated by a driving mechanism, for example, the driving mechanism may use a cam mechanism, a gear mechanism, a link mechanism, or other common mechanisms to drive the sliding block 310 to slide reciprocally relative to the body 100, and when a front camera or a phone call is required, clicking an icon on the display screen 200 may drive the sliding block 310 to slide by the driving mechanism, so as to expose the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 outside the groove 140.

Referring also to fig. 2-4, in some embodiments, the functional module 300 further includes a mounting block 320, the mounting block 320 being rotatably coupled to the slider 310.

The mounting block 320 is then just received in the mounting notch 303. The mounting block 320 may include a mounting portion 301 and a rotating shaft, where the rotating shaft may be disposed on two ends of the mounting portion 301, and a shaft hole is formed on a sidewall of the mounting notch 303, and the rotating shaft is matched with the shaft hole, and the rotating shaft rotates relative to the shaft hole, so that the mounting block 320 may be driven to rotate relative to the slider 310. Of course, the rotating shaft may directly extend through the entire mounting portion 301 along the direction in which the third side peripheral surface 133 extends, the middle portion of the rotating shaft is located in the mounting portion 301, the two end portions of the rotating shaft are exposed out of the mounting portion 301 by a reasonable length, and the two end portions of the rotating shaft are matched with the shaft hole, so as to drive the mounting block 320 to rotate relative to the slider 310.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the mounting block 320 has a first mounting surface 323 and a second mounting surface 324, the first mounting surface 323 and the second mounting surface 324 being disposed opposite each other, the first mounting surface 323 being closer to the first surface 110 than the second mounting surface 324. In the first position 410, the first mounting surface 323 is flush with the inner surface 315 of the slider 310 and the second mounting surface 324 is flush with the outer surface 316 of the slider 310. In short, the thickness of the mounting block 320 is approximately equal to the thickness of the slider 310. One of the surfaces of the mounting block 320 is flush with the third outer periphery of the slider 310. The camera 321 and the earpiece 322 may be provided only on the first mounting surface 323 or the second mounting surface 324, and the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 may be provided on both the first mounting surface 323 and the second mounting surface 324. For example, when the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 are disposed on the first mounting surface 323, the light incident surface of the camera 321 and the sound exit of the earpiece 322 face the first surface 110 of the body 100; when the camera 321 and the earpiece 322 are disposed on the second mounting surface 324, the light incident surface of the camera 321 and the sound exit of the earpiece 322 are opposite to the first surface 110 of the body 100. Of course, the functional modules 300 such as an infrared lens, a floodlight sensing element, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, a speaker, a microphone, and a dot matrix projector may be disposed on the mounting block 320.

When the front-facing camera or answering a call is needed, the slider 310 can be controlled to drive the camera 321 or the receiver 322 to expose the groove 140, when the camera 321 or the receiver 322 is located on the first mounting surface 323 of the mounting block 320, the camera 321 or the receiver 322 can be directly used, when the camera 321 or the receiver 322 is located on the second mounting surface 324, the mounting block 320 should be rotated 180 ° relative to the slider 310, so that the positions of the first mounting surface 323 and the second mounting surface 324 are exchanged, and at this time, a user can perform front-facing camera or answering a call on one side of the first surface 110. Therefore, by the rotation of the mounting block 320 relative to the slider 310, on the basis of increasing the duty ratio of the moving screen, effective switching between the front-end image capturing function and the rear-end image capturing function of the camera 321 can also be achieved. The mounting block 320 may be manually driven when rotating relative to the slider 310, or the mounting block 320 may be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism.

In some embodiments, the side circumferential surface 130 further includes an arc surface, which may be a quarter arc surface, connected between the first side circumferential surface 131 and the third side circumferential surface 133 and the fourth side circumferential surface 134, and between the second side circumferential surface 132 and the third side circumferential surface 133 and the fourth side circumferential surface 134, such that the entire side circumferential surface 130 encloses a rounded rectangular profile.
