BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slide portable terminal for making a call by pushing a flip with an LCD screen, and more particularly, to a slide and rotatable portable terminal capable of using the screen sideways by rotating the flip flipped up again. .

Due to the rapid development of wireless communication, not only telephone calls but also various other information are exchanged with each other wirelessly, and many functions are installed in portable terminals.

This mobile terminal has been developed from the first bar-type cell phone to flip type having a flip that surrounds the microphone part, and then a widely used folder type that uses two cases by hinged folding the case is appeared. It was. Nowadays, from the folder type, a rotating mobile phone that rotates two cases and a slide mobile phone that pushes a flip up to a certain height have been developed and used. These mobile phones are equipped with many functions as described above, for example, because they have a function such as watching TV, games, movies, etc., a wide screen is required.

On the other hand, in the case of a slide mobile phone, even if a large liquid crystal screen is installed on the flip, it has to be installed in a shape of a length that is longer than a width, so there is an inefficient aspect to perform the above visual function. You can also turn your phone sideways, but when you're playing games, you'll have to use a keypad so you'll be satisfied with the narrow screen.

In the case of a Rotate mobile phone, the flip can be rotated 90 degrees and the game can be played on the wide screen using the keypad. However, since the Rotate mobile phone has to rotate the 180 degree flip when making a phone call, the receiving of the call pushes the flip a little and makes a phone call. It is inconvenient compared to slide phones.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, for a telephone call, flip up the phone like a conventional slide-type mobile phone and push the flip when a wide screen is required using other functions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable terminal capable of rotating and rotating a 90 degree in the raised state.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable terminal having a flip installed on an upper surface of a main body so as to slide up and down, wherein the portable terminal includes a guide groove formed to guide the flip to slide up and down, and a guide groove of the main body. The sliding portion is formed in the lower portion is moved along the guide groove and the slide block is fixed and the slide block is moved with the force in the opposite direction to the slide block by the elastic force of the spring on both sides of the slide block Piston block and the groove to hold the separation of the piston block so that the flip can be fixed in the normal position, the call position, and the rotational position and the projections formed on the outer surface of the piston block is formed to guide the position of the flip It is configured to include a guide rail.

Here, the guide rail is configured to have a curved portion of a predetermined length consisting of a curved portion of the portion in contact with the piston block.

In addition, the guide groove of the main body is formed so that the slide block is rotated by an angle and no longer rotated.

In addition, the locking block is formed on the locking jaw and the piston block is formed on the hooking hook is configured so that the piston block is not separated from the slide block by a predetermined distance or more.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view in a state where a flip of a slide and a rotatable portable terminal according to the present invention is removed, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the portable terminal shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. Figure 3 is a view showing the operation of the mobile terminal by sequentially, Figure 3 is normally, Figure 4 is a state in which the flip is pushed up, FIG. Each state is shown.

As shown in FIG. 1, the slide and the rotatable portable terminal according to the present invention have a guide rail 11 having a shape in which an inside is cut is attached to an upper portion of the main body 10 in which important parts such as a PCB are installed. . A guide groove 10a is formed in the main body 10 and the slide block 12 moves along the guide groove 10a. On both sides of the slide block 12, piston blocks 15 which receive the elastic force of the spring 14 are provided. The outer surface of the piston block 15 has a semicircular shape, and a protrusion 15b is formed at the center of the outer surface thereof. The protrusion 15b is fitted into the grooves 11a, 11c, and 11d formed in the guide rail 11 to fix the position. Of course, the flip block 16 is fixed to the slide block 12 to be integrally moved and rotated together with the slide block 12.

2 is an exploded perspective view showing the mechanical assembly of the mobile terminal according to the present invention. As shown, the main body 10 is formed with a guide groove 10a that is vertically long, and the fitting portion 12b of the slide block 12 is fitted to the slide block 12 along the guide groove 10a. It can be guided and moved to. The guide groove 10 may be used as a passage through which an electric circuit such as an FPC or an electric wire passes. Two fitting portions 12b are provided, which extend from the lower surface of the slide block 12 into a cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than the width of the guide groove 10a, and the ends thereof are the width of the guide groove 10a. It is formed to have a larger diameter and is inserted into the guide groove 10a and then formed so as not to fall out. Of course, other shapes can be applied in addition to these shapes. For example, the ends may be spherical. For assembly, the guide groove 10 is formed with an assembly groove 10b having two large diameters larger than the largest diameter of the lower end of the fitting portion. Rotating grooves 10c are also formed which guide the fitting portion 12b when the slide block 12 is slid upward and then rotated, which in this embodiment is rotated 90 degrees and then no longer The rotation groove 10c is formed only up to 90 degrees to prevent rotation.

The upper surface of the main body 10 is provided with a guide rail 11 having a shape cut inside. The guide rail 11 guides the piston block 15 which slides and rotates together with the slide block 12. That is, the piston block 15, which is urged to the outside of the slide block 12 by the elastic force of the spring 14, is prevented from being separated, and at the same time, it is guided to move toward the slide block 12 while compressing the spring 14. . The slide block 12 is formed with grooves 11a, 11c, and 11d into which the projections 15b of the piston block 15 are fitted so that the flip 16 is fixed to each of the normal position, the call position, and the rotation position. In addition, between the groove 11a in the normal position and the groove 11c in the talk position, a curved portion 11b protruding inward is formed, and the piston is slid from the normal position to the talk position by the curved portion 11b. The block 15 compresses the spring 14 to the vertex of the curved portion 11b and then returns to the original position. Therefore, when the flip 16 slides from the normal position to the call position, the piston block 15 is not only a force for removing the protrusion 15b of the piston block 15 from the groove 11a in the normal position but also the spring 14. Should add force to compress). When the protrusion 15b passes through the apex of the curved portion 11b, the protrusion 15b is automatically positioned in the groove 11c under the unfolding force of the compressed spring.

As described above, the slide block 12 has two fitting portions 12b formed at the bottom thereof, and a hole 12a for assembling with the flip 16 is formed at the center thereof, and two springs at each side thereof. A spring shaft 13 for holding 14 is engaged.

The piston block 15 is coupled to both sides of the slide block 12, and a spring hole 15a for catching one end of the spring 14 is formed in a direction facing the slide block 12 of the piston block 15. The surface on which the guide rail 11 is in contact with each other has a semicircular shape, and protrusions 15b are formed at its apex. Therefore, the two piston blocks 15 are in a state of always receiving a force in a direction away from the slide block 12 by the elastic force of the spring 14. A latching jaw 12c is formed in the slide block 12, and a ring 15c caught by the piston block 15 is formed therein. Therefore, the piston block 15 is prevented from moving away from the slide block 12 by a predetermined distance to help the rotation.

The slide and rotation operations of the terminal of the mobile phone configured as described above are well illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 6.

3 shows a normal position. The protrusions 15b of the piston block 15 are fitted in the flat position grooves 11a of the guide rail.

4 shows the way in which the flip 16 slides and slides from the normal position to the call position. The protrusion 15b of the piston block 15 moves away from the normal position groove 11a of the guide rail and comes into contact with the curved portion 11b while the piston block 15 moves toward the slide block 12 while compressing the spring 14. It is in a state.

5 shows a state in which the flip 16 reaches the call position. The slide block 12 and the piston block 15 that have passed through the curved portion 11b have a protrusion 15b of the piston block 15 while the distance between the piston block 15 and the slide block 12 returns to its original state. The flip 16 is stably positioned at the call position by being seated in the call position groove 11c of the guide rail 11.

6 shows a state in which the flip 16 is rotated to the rotational position. When the user applies a force to the flip 16 and rotates the flip 16 clockwise in the drawing, the protrusion 15b of the piston block 15 compresses the spring 14 by the length of the protrusion 15b and the piston block. 15 moves toward the slide block 12, the piston block 15 and the slide block 12 are rotated 90 degrees with the flip 16, and then the projection 15b of the piston block 15 is rotated in the groove position. It stops at 11d.

If the above operation is reversed, the flip 16 returns to the normal position.

As described above, the mobile terminal capable of sliding and rotating according to the present invention provides a simple structure of sliding the flip and allowing the flip to be rotated, thereby enabling wide use of the LCD screen.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.
