Fig. 4 is an enlarged schematic structural view of a part a of the flip phone 100 shown in fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an overall internal structure of the flip phone 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

The flip phone 100 includes a phone body 10 and a flip 20, wherein the phone body 10 is used for a user to implement main functions of the flip phone 100, such as operation, display and communication. The mobile phone body 10 has a display surface 11, and the display surface 11 is an operation interface of the mobile phone body 10. The mobile phone body 10 further has a back surface 12 and a side 13, the back surface 12 is opposite to the display surface 11, and the side 13 connects the display surface 11 and the back surface 12. The handset body 10 is generally rectangular in shape and thus the sides 13 may include long sides 13 and short sides 13.

The flip 20 is hinged to the phone body 10 to open or close the display surface 11 by rotation, thereby hiding and protecting the display surface 11. The flip 20 has a hinge end, i.e., an end of the flip 20 for being hinged with the phone body 10. The specific connection mode of the hinged end and the mobile phone main body 10 is not limited, and only the rotatable connection is required.

The flip phone 100 further includes a rotation shaft 30 and a driving device 40, the driving device 40 being installed in the phone body 10, the rotation shaft 30 being installed at the hinge end of the flip 20. The main body 10 has an inner cavity, the driving unit 40 is installed in the inner cavity of the main body 10, and the rotating shaft 30 is partially connected to the folder 20 and partially inserted into the inner cavity of the main body 10. The output shaft of the driving device 40 is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 30 to drive the rotating shaft 30 to rotate. The output of the driving device 40 can be transmitted with the rotating shaft 30 through a transmission belt or through a gear, and the limitation is not limited, and only the rotating shaft 30 can rotate along with the output shaft.

When the driving device 40 works, the output shaft drives the rotating shaft 30 to rotate, and then the output shaft drives the flip cover 20 to rotate together; the driving device 40 is installed in the main body 10, i.e. fixed relative to the main body 10, so that the driving device 40 will drive the flip 20 to rotate relative to the main body 10, thereby opening or closing the display surface 11 of the main body 10 by the flip 20. Thus, the flip 20 can automatically open or close the handset body 10 by only opening the driving means 40.

The flip phone 100 further includes a control button 50, the control button 50 is mounted on the back 12 or the side 13 of the phone body 10; it will be appreciated that the display surface 11 of the handset is open or closed with the flip 20 open, and therefore if the control keys 50 are provided on the display surface 11, the user cannot reach the control keys 50 when the display surface 11 is closed. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the control keys 50 on the back 12 or the side 13 of the handset body 10 so that the user can press them at any time.

The flip phone 100 may further include a battery 90 and a circuit board 91, and the battery 90, the control keys 50 and the driving device 40 are electrically connected to the circuit board 91. The battery 90 is used for providing power to the driving device 40, and the control button 50 sends a control signal to the driving device 40 through the circuit board 91. The user may turn the driving device 40 on or off by pressing the control button 50, and of course, may also rotate the driving device 40 forward or backward by pressing the control button 50. It is understood that the output shaft of the driving motor may rotate only in one direction or alternatively in two directions. For example, the driving motor may drive only the folder 20 to open the display 11 of the phone body 10, and the process of closing the display 11 of the phone body 10 by the folder 20 may be manually performed by the user.

The flip phone 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by disposing the driving device 40 in the phone main body 10, and disposing the rotating shaft 30 at the end of the flip 20, the driving device 40 can drive the rotating shaft 30 to rotate to drive the flip 20 to rotate integrally, so that the flip 20 can rotate automatically relative to the phone main body 10 to open or close the display surface 11, and a user only needs to press the control key 50 to control the driving device 40, and further control the flip 20 to turn automatically, thereby improving the operation convenience of the flip phone 100.

For example, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, the control key 50 includes an open key 51 and a close key 52, where the open key 51 is used to control the output shaft of the driving device 40 to rotate forward to drive the flip cover 20 to open the display surface 11; the close key 52 is used to control the output shaft of the driving device 40 to rotate reversely, so as to drive the flip cover 20 to close the display surface 11.

In the present embodiment, the normal rotation and the reverse rotation are defined differently for two opposite rotation directions, not for the absolute rotation direction of the output shaft. When the user presses the open key 51, the driving device 40 drives the flip 20 to open the display surface 11; when the user presses the close key, the driving device 40 drives the flip 20 to close the display surface 11. The stroke of the flap 20 is determined by the stroke of the drive 40. The operation stroke of the driving device 40 may be determined according to the time when the user presses the control key 50, that is, as long as the user keeps pressing the control key 50, the driving device 40 keeps operating; if the user releases the control button 50, the driving device 40 stops operating. Of course, in another embodiment, the operation time period may be preset for each paper feeding process of the driving device 40, and after the preset time period, the flip cover 20 is opened or closed in place, and the driving device 40 is also automatically stopped. In this way, the user only needs to press the control key 50 once.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the side 13 includes a long side 13, the long side 13 extends along the length direction of the mobile phone main body 10, and the open key 51 and the close key 52 are mounted on the long side 13 and arranged along the length direction of the long side 13.

The back surface 12 of the handset body 10 typically serves as a support surface against a table top, counter top, or palm of the user. That is, the back surface 12 of the handset body 10 is mostly shielded or stressed. If the control keys 50 are provided on the rear surface 12, the user keys may be difficult to press or may be erroneously touched by the placing surface; therefore, the control key 50 is disposed on the side 13 of the mobile phone body 10, which not only facilitates the user to press the control key 50, but also prevents the control key 50 from being touched by mistake, thereby improving the convenience of the user in pressing the control key 50. The control keys 50 are arranged on the long side 13 of the mobile phone main body 10, which is more suitable for the operation range of human fingers, and further improves the operation convenience of the control keys 50.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, 4 and 5, a transmission system is further installed in the handpiece body 10 to indirectly transmit power of the output shaft of the driving device 40 to the rotating shaft 30, so that a certain distance is formed between the driving device 40 and the output shaft. The driving device 40 occupies a certain space, and the inner cavity of the mobile phone body 10 has certain volume and shape limitations; for example, the handset body 10 has a significant length, width, and thickness, where the length is much greater than the thickness. Therefore, the driving device 40 and the transmission system should be installed and arranged in the handset body 10 by effectively utilizing the space in the longitudinal direction, so as to avoid the dimension of the components in the thickness direction of the handset body 10 from exceeding the thickness of the handset body 10, and to effectively control the overall appearance shape of the handset body 10.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, 4 and 5, the transmission system may include a driving gear 41, a driven gear 31, a transmission shaft 60, a first transmission gear 61, a second transmission gear 62 and a transmission track 80. The driving gear 41 is provided on the output shaft of the driving device 40, and the number of the driven gears 31 is two and is provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 30. The transmission shaft 60 is disposed at one side of the output shaft close to the rotation shaft 30, the first transmission gears 61 are disposed at the middle portion of the transmission shaft 60, and the number of the second gears is two and disposed at both ends of the transmission shaft 60. The first transmission gear 61 is rotatably engaged with the drive gear 41 so that the output shaft can transmit power to the transmission shaft 60.

The two second transmission gears 62 are opposite to the two driven gears 31 along the length direction of the handset body 10. The number of the transmission caterpillar 80 is two, and each transmission caterpillar 80 is respectively sleeved on a second transmission gear 62 and a driven gear 31. The inner circumferential surface of the drive track 80 is provided with drive teeth. The second driving gear 62 rotates with the driving shaft 60 and transmits power to the driven gear 31 through the driving track 80, and thus the rotating shaft 30 also rotates together with the driven gear 31.

The driving track 80 extends along the length direction of the mobile phone body 10, so that the length direction space in the mobile phone body 10 can be effectively utilized, the requirement for the thickness direction space is reduced, and the effective utilization rate of the inner space of the mobile phone body 10 is improved. The number of the driven gears 31 on the rotating shaft 30 is two, and the number of the second transmission gears 62 and the transmission tracks 80 in the transmission system corresponds to that of the driven gears 31, so that both ends of the rotating shaft 30 can be acted by the driving force to increase the driving position to the rotating shaft 30 and improve the stability of the driving process to the rotating shaft 30. Each transmission part in the transmission system is arranged along the length direction of the mobile phone main body 10, so that the space in the length direction in the mobile phone main body 10 can be effectively utilized, and the requirement on the space in the thickness direction is reduced.

In addition, by providing two transmission gears on one transmission shaft 60 and matching with the corresponding two transmission shoes, only one driving device 40 is required to drive the two driven gears 31 to drive the two ends of the rotating shaft 30. Accordingly, the number of the driving devices 40 can be reduced to simplify the internal structure of the phone body 10 and reduce the overall cost of the flip phone 100.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, the transmission shaft 60 includes two transmission sections that are separated from each other and are coaxial; the number of the first transmission gears 61 is two, the two first transmission gears 61 are respectively arranged at one end of the two transmission sections, which are close to each other, and both the two first transmission gears 61 can be in transmission fit with the driving gear 41; the two second transmission gears 62 are respectively arranged at one ends of the two transmission sections, which are far away from each other. The transmission shaft 60 is provided with two mutually separated transmission sections, so that the length of a single transmission section can be shortened, the stability of the single transmission section in the rotating process is improved, and the eccentricity of the transmission shaft 60 is avoided.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the driving gear 41 is provided as a bevel gear, and the driving gear 41 has two tapered tooth surfaces; two first transmission gear 61 set up to with the conical gear of driving gear 41 adaptation, two first transmission gear 61 respectively with two but conical tooth face transmission fit. The degree of engagement between the bevel gears is higher than that of the straight-tube type gears, so that the fitting stability of the drive gear 41 with the two first driven gears 31 can be improved.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the flip phone 100 further includes a transition gear 70 installed in the phone body 10, the driving device 40 and the transmission shaft 60 are arranged along the length direction of the phone body 10, the transition gear 70 is disposed between the driving gear 41 and the two first transmission gears 61, and the transition gear 70 is in transmission fit with the driving gear 41 and the two first transmission gears 61.

The radial dimension of the driving gear 41 is smaller than the width of the body of the driving device 40, so the volume of the driving device 40 will hinder the matching of the driving gear 41 and the first transmission gear 61. If the radial dimension of the driving gear 41 is increased to overcome the obstruction caused by the driving device 40, the thickness of the mobile phone main body 10 cannot meet the radial dimension requirement of the driving gear 41. Therefore, the transition gear 70 is added between the driving gear 41 and the first transmission gear 61, so that the driving gear 41 and the first transmission gear 61 can be indirectly matched, and the requirement on the thickness space of the mobile phone body 10 can be reduced.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1, the hinged end of the flip cover 20 is provided with a connecting column 21, the connecting column 21 is formed with a mounting cavity 211 extending along the axial direction, the rotating shaft 30 is fixedly matched with the mounting cavity 211, and the two driven gears 31 are respectively located at two ends of the connecting column 21; the end of the mobile phone main body 10 is provided with a connecting groove 14, two opposite groove walls of the connecting groove 14 are respectively provided with a mounting hole 141, the mounting holes 141 are communicated with the inner cavity of the mobile phone main body 10, and one end of each of the two transmission tracks 80 is respectively close to the two mounting holes 141; the connecting column 21 is located in the connecting groove 14, and the two driven gears 31 are respectively matched with the two driving crawlers 80 through the two mounting holes 141.

The connecting column 21 and the mounting hole 141 are connected in series by the rotating shaft 30, and both ends of the connecting column 21 extend into the inner cavity of the phone body 10 through the mounting hole 141, so that the flip 20 can rotate with the connecting column 21 as the axis with respect to the phone body 10. Therefore, the mobile phone main body 10 and the flip cover 20 can be closer, and the transmission connection stability of the mobile phone main body 10 and the flip cover 20 can be improved.
