Referring to fig. 1 to 6, a mobile terminal 10 includes a main body 100, a display 200 and a function module 300. The main body 100 is an assembly carrier for the display screen 200 and the function module 300, the display screen 200 and the main body 100 form a fixed connection, the function module 300 is slidably disposed on the main body 100, and the main body 100 may be made of a metal material, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. The body 100 includes a first surface 110, a second surface 120, and a side peripheral surface 130 connecting the first surface 110 and the second surface 120, which are oppositely disposed. Assuming that a plane parallel to the display screen 200 is defined by a certain point position in the thickness direction of the side circumference surface 130, all positions on the first surface 110 can be located on one side of the plane, and all positions on the second surface 120 can be located on the other opposite side of the plane. Wherein the display screen 200 is loaded at one side of the first surface 110 of the body 100. One side of the first surface 110 of the body 100 may be recessed to form a receiving cavity, so that the first surface 110 of the body 100 finally appears non-planar, but has a combination of a plurality of stepped faces. The edge of the display screen 200 may be seated on one of the step surfaces. The outer surface of the display 200 may be flush with the step surface at the highest position of the first surface 110, or may slightly protrude from the step surface at the highest position of the first surface 110. The display screen 200 is at least partially disposed in the accommodating cavity formed by the body 100 in the thickness direction. The receiving cavity formed on the body 100 may also be used for placing other components of the mobile terminal 10, such as a control module, a power module, and the like. In order to place the other components, the accommodating cavity may further be formed with a bump, a plate, or other structures, and no matter what the specific form of the structure in the accommodating cavity is, the portion of the body 100 opposite to the second surface 120 is part of the first surface 110 of the body 100.

In some embodiments, the body 100 may include a middle frame. The two opposite end surfaces of the middle frame are the first surface 110 and the second surface 120, and the outer wall surface of the middle frame is the side peripheral surface 130. The middle frame is arranged in a surrounding mode to form the containing cavity. The display screen 200 is combined with one end face of the middle frame, and the display screen 200 is at least partially positioned in the accommodating cavity in the thickness direction. The middle frame may be provided therein with a plate connected to an inner wall surface of the middle frame for carrying other components of the mobile terminal 10, such as a control module, a power module, etc. In some embodiments, the body 100 may further include a rear cover coupled to another end surface of the middle frame to seal the receiving cavity at one side of the second surface 120 of the body 100, so that an outer surface of the rear cover becomes the second surface 120 of the body 100. The second surface 120 may be flat, curved, or may be largely flat and partially convex to form a convex structure.

The side peripheral surface 130 of the main body 100 is provided with grooves, holes, etc. for assembling elements for implementing specific functions, or for providing a detachable connection between peripheral elements for implementing specific elements and the mobile terminal 10, or for providing a channel for inputting and outputting signals such as sound, etc. The body 100 is rectangular block-shaped, and the cross section of the side peripheral surface 130 may be linear or curved. The side circumferential surfaces 130 include 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, wherein the third side circumferential surface 133 and the fourth side circumferential surface 134 are opposite to each other, the first side circumferential surface 131 and the second side circumferential surface 132 are opposite to each other, and the four side circumferential surfaces 130 are connected end to form a rounded rectangular profile. In other embodiments, the contour of the side circumferential surface 130 may be rectangular or circular. The fourth peripheral surface 134 may be provided with one or more connection ports, such as a USB port, an earphone jack, and the like.

The display screen 200 is electrically connected with the functional module 300 and the control module 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 a touch operation. The diagonal of the display screen 200 is 4 inches to 8 inches in length. 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 is intuitively apparent 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 of the area of one side of the first surface 110 of the body 100.

In some embodiments, the function module 300 may include a mounting block 301, a camera 330, and an earpiece 340; the mounting block 301 may be a sliding block 320 slidably disposed on the body 100, and the mounting block 301 may also be a rotating block 310 rotatably disposed on the body 100. The mounting block 301 includes an inner surface 3015, an outer surface 3014, and an outer peripheral surface, where the inner surface 3015 and the outer surface 3014 are disposed opposite each other, and the inner surface 3015 is closer to the first surface 110 than the outer surface 3014. The outer peripheral surfaces include a first outer peripheral surface 3011, a second outer peripheral surface 3012, and a third outer peripheral surface 3013; the first outer circumferential surface 3011, the second outer circumferential surface 3012 and the third outer circumferential surface 3013 are sequentially connected end to form a closed loop structure.

At least one of the camera 330 and the earpiece 340 may be provided on the slider 320, or at least one of the camera 330 and the earpiece 340 may be provided on the rotation block 310. The third side circumferential surface 133 is formed with a counter bore in a recessed manner, and in case that the overall contour of the side circumferential surface 130 is rectangular or rounded rectangular, for example, the cross-sectional shape of the counter bore may be rectangular, and when the size (length size and width size) of the rectangular counter bore is gradually enlarged and the entire counter bore penetrates through one or two of the second surface 120, the first side circumferential surface 131 and the second side circumferential surface 132, the rectangular counter bore will form the installation counter table 121 or the installation groove on the body 100. It should be particularly noted that this is merely to visually describe a specific structure of the installation platform 121 or the installation groove, and is not to emphasize a molding method of the installation platform 121 or the installation groove.

The sliding block 320 may be slidably disposed in the installation sinking platform 121 or the installation groove, and the rotating block 310 may be rotatably disposed in the installation sinking platform 121 or the installation groove. When the sliding block 320 or the rotating block 310 moves relative to the body 100, that is, the sliding block 320 or the rotating block 310 can move from the first position 101 to the second position 102, when the sliding block 320 or the rotating block 310 is in the first position 101, the camera 330 and the earphone 340 are both hidden in the installation sink 121 or the installation groove, that is, when the display screen 200 is viewed from the side of the first surface 110, the camera 330 and the earphone 340 cannot be observed by naked eyes; when the slider 320 slides from the first position 101 and finally reaches the second position 102, the camera 330 and the earpiece 340 are both exposed outside the mounting platform 121 or the mounting groove, at this time, the body 100 will not block the camera 330 and the earpiece 340, and when looking from the side of the first surface 110 toward the display screen 200, the camera 330 and the earpiece 340 will be seen by naked eyes, so that the camera 330 can perform front-facing camera shooting, that is, the camera 330 can collect images on the body 100 on the side of the first surface 110, and meanwhile, a user can receive sound signals through the earpiece 340 during a call.

Because the function module 300 is matched with the installation sinking platform 121 or the installation groove as a whole, the function module 300 does not occupy the space of 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 the front camera or the video call is needed, the sliding block 320 or the rotating block 310 can be moved to the second position 102, the camera 330 will capture the image, and of course, the user can receive the sound signal from the receiver 340. In some embodiments, the functional module 300 may further include at least one of an infrared lens, a floodlight sensing element, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, a speaker, a microphone, and a dot matrix projector, and these components may be mounted on the sliding block 320 or the rotating block 310, so that these components do not occupy the space on the side corresponding to the first surface 110, and finally, the function of increasing the screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal 10 is achieved.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the third side surface 133 is formed with a sector-shaped counterbore with a cross-sectional profile, and when the width dimension of the sector-shaped counterbore is gradually increased toward the second surface 120 (of course, the length dimension and the depth dimension of the sector-shaped counterbore are kept unchanged) until the sector-shaped counterbore penetrates through the portion of the second surface 120 corresponding to the counterbore, the counterbore penetrating through the second surface 120 forms a mounting counter sink 121. The rotating block 310 is rotatably disposed in the installation sinking platform 121, the cross section of the rotating block 310 is fan-shaped, that is, the rotating block 310 is a fan-shaped rotating block 311, at least one of the camera 330 or the receiver 340 can be installed on the fan-shaped rotating block 311, and the camera 330 and/or the receiver 340 can be exposed or hidden in the installation sinking platform 121 by rotating along with the fan-shaped rotating block 311, so that the screen occupation ratio of the mobile terminal 10 is improved on the basis of meeting the functions of prepositive camera shooting or receiving sound signals and the like.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the central angle of the sector rotation block 311 is a, and a is greater than or equal to 90 ° and less than or equal to 180 °. The fan-shaped rotating block 311 comprises an inner surface 3015, an outer surface 3014 and an outer peripheral surface, wherein the inner surface 3015 and the outer surface 3014 are arranged oppositely, and the inner surface 3015 is closer to the first surface 110 than the outer surface 3014. The outer peripheral surfaces include a first outer peripheral surface 3011, a second outer peripheral surface 3012 and a third outer peripheral surface 3013, and of course, for the fan-shaped rotating block 311, the third outer peripheral surface 3013 is an arc surface 3016, and the first outer peripheral surface 3011, the second outer peripheral surface 3012 and the arc surface 3016 are sequentially connected end to form a closed loop structure, and the lengths of the first outer peripheral surface 3011 and the second outer peripheral surface 3012 are equal.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the function module 300 further includes a rotation shaft 350, in some embodiments, the rotation shaft 350 is rotatably mounted on the body 100, the rotation shaft 350 is fixedly connected to the fan-shaped rotation block 311, and the rotation shaft 350 as a whole may be inserted into the fan-shaped rotation block 311. The body 100 may further be provided with a bearing engaged with the rotating shaft 350, which may reduce the rotation resistance of the rotating shaft 350 and improve the rotation accuracy of the rotating shaft 350. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 350 may be fixed on the body 100, the rotating shaft 350 is disposed through the entire fan-shaped rotating block 311, and the fan-shaped rotating block 311 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 350. The rotation shaft 350 is set in any way, so long as the fan-shaped rotation block 311 can rotate relative to the body 100.

In the first position 101, the first outer circumferential surface 3011 is flush with the third circumferential surface 133, the outer surface 3014 is flush with the second surface 120, and the second outer circumferential surface 3012 and the arc surface 3016 are both located in the installation platform 121. In the case that the overall contour of the side circumferential surface 130 is rectangular or rounded rectangle, the extending direction of the third side circumferential surface 133 may be defined as the width direction of the body 100, in some embodiments, the installed rotating shaft 350 may extend along the width direction of the body 100, in this case, the rotating shaft 350 may be inserted at a connecting line of the inner surface 3015 and the first outer circumferential surface 3011 (the connecting line is an edge of the fan-shaped rotating block 311), the rotating plane of the fan-shaped rotating block 311 is perpendicular to the first surface 110 or the second surface 120, meanwhile, when the fan-shaped rotating block 311 rotates to the second position 102 around the rotating shaft 350, the first outer circumferential surface 3011 and the third side circumferential surface 133 are flush or stacked, and the second outer circumferential surface 3012 and the arc surface 3016 will both be located outside the installation platform 121. In other embodiments, the installed rotation shaft 350 may extend in the thickness direction of the body 100, that is, the rotation shaft 350 is perpendicular to the first surface 110 or the second surface 120, in which case the rotation shaft 350 may be disposed through a connecting line between the first outer circumferential surface 3011 and the second outer circumferential surface 3012, and the rotation plane of the fan-shaped rotation block 311 is parallel to the first surface 110 or the second surface 120. The second outer circumferential surface 3012 is flush with or stacked on the third circumferential surface 133, and the first outer circumferential surface 3011 and the arc surface 3016 are to be located outside the installation platform 121.

The sector-shaped rotating block 311 rotates relative to the body 100 through the rotating shaft 350, so that the camera 330 or the receiver 340 carried on the sector-shaped rotating block 311 is exposed outside the mounting sink 121, and the body 100 does not shield the camera 330 or the receiver 340, thereby realizing the front camera function of the camera 330 and the receiving function of the receiver 340.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, the mobile terminal 10 further includes an actuating member 400, the actuating member 400 is disposed outside the function module 300, so as not to increase the volume of the function module 300, and when the function module 300 is rotated to, for example, the second position 102, the appearance of the mobile terminal 10 is not adversely affected by the excessive volume of the function module 300. Meanwhile, the driving member 400 does not rotate to the outside of the installation sinking platform 121 along with the function module 300, so that the energy consumption required by the rotation of the function module 300 can be saved. The transmission is formed by engaging gears, so that the transmission path between the driving member 400 and the function module 300 can be shortened, the space required by the rotation of the driving member 400 and the function module 300 can be controlled as much as possible, and the influence on the installation and layout of other components caused by interference with other components in the body 100 of the mobile terminal 10 can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 2 and 6 together, in some embodiments, the driving member 400 includes a motor 440, a driving gear 410, a driven gear 430, and a transmission gear 420. The driven gear 430 is fixed on the rotating shaft 350, the driving gear 410 is fixed on an output shaft of the motor 440, the driving gear 420 is meshed and connected between the driving gear 410 and the driven gear 430, a rotating shaft of the driving gear 420 can be arranged on a corresponding structure of the body 100, the motor 440 is fixed in the body 100, through rotation of the motor 440, the driving gear 410 sequentially drives the driving gear 420 and the driven gear 430 to rotate, and then the function module 300 drives the camera 330 and/or the receiver 340 to rotate to the second position 102 to be exposed out of the installation sinking platform 121, or the function module 300 drives the camera 330 and/or the receiver 340 to rotate to the first position 101 to be hidden in the installation sinking platform 121.

The rotating shaft 350 of the functional module 300, the output shaft of the motor 440 and the rotating shaft of the transmission gear 420 are all perpendicular to the display screen 200, so that the functional module 300 can rotate by means of parallel axial gear transmission, and the arrangement has the advantages of simple structure and high transmission efficiency.

The driving gear 410, the driving gear 420 and the driven gear 430 are all located in the same plane, and by arranging the driving gear 410, the driving gear 420 and the driven gear 430 in the same plane, the size of the gears in the axial direction can be reduced, so that the thickness occupied by the function module 300 and the driving member 400 as a whole is smaller, and the increase of the volume of the mobile terminal 10 is avoided. The plane is parallel to the second surface 120, and the motor 440, the camera 330 and the earpiece 340 are all located on the same side of the plane, and the thickness occupied by the function module 300 on one side of the plane is the same as the thickness occupied by the driving member 400 on one side of the plane.

In some embodiments, the diameter of the transmission gear 420 is larger than the sum of the diameters of the driving gear 410 and the driven gear 430, and the area of the driving gear 410 on the motor 440, i.e. the area occupied by the driving member 400 and the function module 300 in the rotation plane, can be reduced by increasing the area of the transmission gear 420, so that interference with other components in the body 100 can be avoided, and the space required by other components does not need to be occupied, which is more beneficial to the overall design and production and manufacturing of the mobile terminal 10.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the third side surface 133 is formed with a counter bore having a rectangular cross-sectional profile, and when the width dimension of the rectangular counter bore is gradually extended toward the second surface 120 and the length dimension of the rectangular counter bore is extended toward the first side surface 131 (the depth dimension of the rectangular counter bore is kept constant) until the rectangular counter bore simultaneously penetrates through the second surface 120 and the portion of the second side surface 132 corresponding to the counter bore, at this time, the counter bore simultaneously penetrating through the second surface 120 and the first side surface 131 also forms an installation counter bore 122, and the installation counter bore 122 is located at one of the corners of the body 100. The installation sinking platform 122 can be internally provided with a rotating block 310 and a sliding block 320, and the rotating block 310 and the sliding block 320 can move in a manual driving mode or a mechanical driving mode.
