In this embodiment, a handle 21 is further formed on a surface of the cover plate 20 facing the outside of the housing 100, and the handle 21 is used for facilitating pushing and pulling by sliding the cover plate 20 with a hand, so that the cover plate 20 slides in the sliding groove 30; the handle 21 is formed at the end of the cover plate 20 closer to the first portion 31; the handle 21 is an elongated protrusion formed on the surface of the cover plate 20, and the extending direction of the protrusion is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover plate 20.

The housings 100, 100a in the first and second embodiments of the present application include a closed state (see fig. 4, 5, and 14) and an open state (see fig. 15, 16, and 17).

In the closed state, the cover plate 20 slides to the state of shielding the open hole 101, so that the open hole 101 cannot be opened in appearance, and a certain waterproof and dustproof effect is achieved; at this time, the cover plate 20 is fixed to the first portion 31 of the slide groove 30 by the positioning member 50, so that the cover plate 20 does not shake or move slightly.

In the opened state, the cover plate is slid to a state of exposing the opening 101, so that a user can use the opening 101, for example, a charger plug is inserted into a mobile phone through the opening 101 for charging and other operations; at this time, the cover plate 20 is fixed to the second portion 32 of the slide groove 30 by the positioning member 50, so that the cover plate does not shake or move slightly.

The cover 20 is freely movable in the sliding direction within the chute 30 as it moves between the open and closed positions.

In the present application, when the cover plate 20 is in the closed state, the housing 100 may have no obvious opening in appearance, so as to increase the consistency of appearance; the cover plate 20 also increases the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the housing 100, and prevents foreign matters such as water and dust from entering the housing 100 and between the housing 100 and the terminal device.

Referring to fig. 21, a terminal device 200 is provided in a third embodiment of the present application, where the terminal device 200 includes a housing 100 according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 200 further includes a display screen 210, and the display screen 210 is disposed on one side of the inner surface of the housing 100.

In some embodiments, the housing 100 is a battery rear cover of the terminal device 200, and the terminal device 200 further includes a battery, which is accommodated in the housing 100.
