The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a slide type portable terminal in which one body slides relative to another body to open and close.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A portable terminal including a mobile communication terminal or a PDA is a portable electronic device that allows a user to view or process wireless transmission / reception or information by using it while on the move.

In general, one of the considerations in designing a small size portable terminal is that it has a small enough size and light mass to be able to be held in hand so as not to interfere with the portability, while ensuring a large display area to convey a lot of information. It will be one day.

Various mechanical forms of portable terminals have been proposed to achieve these design goals. For example, starting from the basic bar type, the portable terminal is a slide type, a folder type, or a so-called swivel type.

Among them, the slide-type portable terminal is preferred because the display device is directly exposed to the outside of the terminal, which not only can receive information in a short time, but also has the advantage that the operation for opening the mechanism is simple and easy to use.

Hereinafter, a slide type portable terminal according to the related art will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 is a side view of a slide-type portable terminal according to the related art, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual view illustrating that shaking occurs with respect to the first body after the second body of the portable terminal of FIG. 1 is slid up and opened.

As shown in these figures, the portable terminal is composed of a first body 1 and a second body 2 which is slidably mounted on the first body 1 by a slide module 3 so as to be opened and closed.

A gap G is formed to some extent so that the first body 1 and the second body 2 can slide to each other between the first body 1 and the second body 2. However, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are not separated by the slide module 3.

As a result, when the second body 2 is slid up with respect to the first body 1, the second body 2 is opened with respect to the first body 1, and the microphone is covered by the second body 2. The keypad (not shown) is also exposed to enable use.

However, when the second body 2 is slid and opened, the overlapping area of the first body 1 and the second body 2 is reduced by that amount, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The second body 2 increases the likelihood of being opened relative to the first body 1. In other words, when the second body 2 and the first body 1 are opened, the portions that do not overlap with each other lose the object supported to prevent shaking, and thus there is a problem that the body does not maintain the gap G and shakes. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and in the mobile terminal in which the second body slides with respect to the first body, the second body and the first body are opened when the second body is opened with respect to the first body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable terminal which can prevent the bodies from shaking with each other.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a first body; A second body slidably connected to the first body; And a flow restriction unit installed on the first slide member and the second slide member respectively fixed to the first body and the second body to prevent the first body and the second body from shaking when the second body slides to the open position. A portable terminal is disclosed.

And, the present invention is a first protruding member is formed to protrude to the first body as the flow restriction; And a second protrusion member protruding from the second body to face the first protrusion member when the second body is in the open position.

Hereinafter, the portable terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail according to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

3 is a perspective view of a portable terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the portable terminal of FIG. 3 separated into a first body and a second body.

As shown in these figures, the portable terminal has a first body 10 and a second body 20 that is slide-opened and opened relative to the first body 10.

On the front of the first body 10 covered by the second body 20, a first keypad 11 for inputting information or a control command and a microphone 12 for transmitting a voice signal are provided. . The battery 13 for supplying power to the terminal may be mounted on the rear surface of the first body 10.

On the front of the second body 20, a display 21 for displaying visual information, a receiver 23 for receiving a voice signal, and a twenty-first body 20 can be directly inputted or a control command can be performed. The second keypad 22 is provided.

The second body 20 is guided so that the second body 20 slides with respect to the first body 10 between the first body 10 and the second body 20, and the second body 20 is the first body 10. A slide module 30 is installed which is semi-automatic (meaning that the second body slides open by itself when the user pushes the second body slightly).

The slide module 30 is a first slide member 31 which is a part fixed to the first body 10 and a part which is fixed to the second body 20 and restrained by the first slide member 31 to slide. It is mounted between the second slide member 32 and the first slide member 31 and the second slide member 32 so that the second slide member 32 elastically moves in the slide movement with respect to the first slide member 31. When the second slide member 32 deforms and moves a predetermined distance, the elastic member 33 continues to move in the direction in which the second slide member 32 is moved by the restoring force.

A predetermined setting gap G is formed between the first body and the second body so that the second body 20 can be slid with respect to the first body 10 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). In this way, the second body 20 is restrained with respect to the first body 10 and slides to be opened and closed.

As shown in FIG. 4, between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the second body 20 is formed in the first body 10 and the second body 20 separately from the slide module 30. When the slide 20 is opened by sliding, the flow restriction part 40 is provided to prevent the second body 20 from shaking by minimizing a gap between the first body 10 and the second body 20.

Referring to the flow restriction portion 40 in more detail, the flow restriction portion 40 is the first protruding member 41 is formed to protrude to the first body 10, and the second body to the second body 20 When the 20 is in the open position, the second protrusion member 42 is formed to protrude so as to face the first protrusion member 41.

However, the protruding members 41 and 42 may not be installed at both the first body 10 and the second body 20, but may be installed only at any one body. That is, the protruding member reduces the gap between the first body 10 and the second body 20 to less than the set gap G when the second body 20 is "open" with respect to the first body 10. It is also possible to form only a part for the purpose of giving.

If it protrudes in all parts between the first body 10 and the second body 20, the preset gap G is already set between the first body 10 and the second body 20 in the unchanged state. As the overall frictional force becomes large, it is meaningless because it only hinders the slide movement. On the contrary, since the protruding members 41 and 42 are partially formed at the necessary positions to prevent the shaking, the second body is not impeded to the movement of the first body 10 and the second body 20. When the 20 is in the open position, the first body 10 and the second body 20 further reduce the gap so as not to shake each other.

Again, as shown in FIG. 4, the first protruding member 41 and the second protruding member 42 are disposed along the slide direction of the second body 20, and the slide direction of the second body 20 is changed. The spacing of the first protruding members 41 and the spacing of the second protruding members 42 arranged along the same are the same as indicated by L. Accordingly, when the second body 20 is slid and moved to the open position, the first protrusions 41 and the second protrusions 42 face each other so that the first body 10 and the first body 10 are first to face each other. The spacing of the two bodies 20 is substantially reduced.

The first protruding member 41 and the second protruding member 42 are disposed in pairs on the left and right sides of the first body 10 and the second body 20, and accordingly, the second body 20 is formed. It is prevented from swinging from side to side after opening about one body (10).

On the other hand, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 4, the first protruding member 41 and the second protruding member 42 at the instant when the first body 10 and the second body 20 slide and are opened. The shock absorbing member 45 is formed on the outer side of the first protruding member 41 in order to prevent mutual impact. However, in this case, the buffer member 45 may also be formed in the second protrusion member 42.

Preferably, the shock absorbing member 45 may be formed of a rubber material. In this case, the second protruding member 41 may be formed by bonding the rubber to the first protruding member 41, by heat fusion or injection. ) Can be attached.

Hereinafter, the effect | action by such a structure is demonstrated.

FIG. 5 is a partial side cross-sectional view showing when the portable terminal of FIG. 3 is closed, and FIG. 6 is an operating state diagram showing when the second body is opened by sliding up in the state of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the second body 20 is closed with respect to the first body 10, the interval is maintained by the preset setting gap G, and the first body 10 and the first body 10 are closed. Since the body of the second body 20 is completely overlapped, the shaking problem does not occur.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the second body 20 is slid up and opened with respect to the first body 10, the second protruding member 42 formed in the second body 20 is also moved together. 1 projecting member 41 is to face each other. Therefore, even if the overlapping area between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is reduced, the gap between the first body 10 and the second body 20 is substantially reduced to prevent shaking. It becomes possible.

As described above, according to the mobile terminal of the present invention, when the second body is slid and opened by the flow restriction unit, the gap between the first body and the second body is reduced to prevent shaking between the first body and the second body. As a result, reliability can be improved.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the first protrusion member and the second protrusion member partially protrude between the first body and the second body, there is an effect of easy processing and molding.

And according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing a buffer member on the first protrusion member or the second protrusion member, even if the second body slides open, it is possible to prevent the noise is generated by the shock is not only generated. It provides a smooth slide opening and closing feeling.

As described above with reference to the drawings illustrating a portable terminal according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, but by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention Various modifications may be made.
