In order to move the cover 20 from FIG. 1A to FIG. 1B, the control button 16 formed on the side of the main body 10 is pressed to provide the main body 10 and the cover 20. The sliding assembly 30 may be operated.

As shown in Figures 2a, 2b and 3a, 3b, the sliding assembly 30 for a mobile phone according to the present invention, the support 32 for supporting the body portion 10, and the cover 20 A guide member 35 sliding the slider 34 with respect to the support portion 32 by connecting the slider 34, the support portion 32, and the slider 34 to each other, and coupled to at least a portion of the guide member 35. And a driving unit 50 for driving the guide member 35 and a control button 16 mounted on any one side of the main body 10 and the cover 20 to control the operation of the driving unit 50.

As shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the driving part 50 is closed to the support part 32 and is provided in a predetermined bracket cover 39. The support part 32 is provided with the spring 40 which provides an elastic force. A pair of guide guides 42 are provided on both sides of the spring 40 and the drive unit 50.

As shown, the guide member 35 is formed in a rod shape, so a guide is required to slide the rod-shaped guide member 35, and the guide member 35 replaces this role. Of course, a part of the guide member 35 is connected to the drive unit 50 to be described later.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the driving unit 50 is connected to the drive motor 51 rotatable in the forward and reverse directions, and the rack gear 52 connected to the rotation shaft 51a of the drive motor 51 to rotate. And a pinion 53 which is tooth-engaged with the rack gear 52 and rotated by the rack gear 52, a drive pulley 54 coupled to the pinion 53 and co-rotating with the pinion 53, and a drive pulley. A driven pulley 55 spaced apart from the 54, a belt 56 interconnecting the driving and driven pulleys 54, 55, a driving roller 57 coupled to the driven pulley 55, and a guide member. And a driven roller 58 spaced apart from the drive roller 57 with the 35 interposed therebetween.

The drive motor 51 is a conventional motor that can be commonly encountered in the vicinity, and is provided in a small size that can be employed in a mobile phone. Therefore, any of stepping motors, servomotors, and the like may be used, but it is sufficient that it can rotate in the forward and reverse directions by one press of the control button 16.

As a result, the driving motor 51 should be able to rotate in the forward and reverse directions by pressing the control button 16 once. However, if two control buttons 16 are formed, when one of them is pressed, the driving motor rotates in the forward direction, and when the other one is pressed, the driving motor may be rotated in the reverse direction.

Unlike the driving roller 57, the driven roller 58 has a structure that rotates in place without any power. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the driven roller 58 is provided with a roller shaft 59 for idling the driven roller 58.

Referring to the process of sliding the cover portion 20 due to the sliding assembly 30 for a mobile phone having such a configuration as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 1A, the control unit 16 presses the control button 16 while the cover unit 20 covers (shields) one region of the main body unit 10. When power from the battery is applied to the drive motor 51 by the pressing of the control button 16, the rotation shaft 51a of the drive motor 51 rotates. Accordingly, the rack gear 52 coupled to the rotation shaft 51a rotates.

When the rack gear 52 rotates, the pinion 53 toothed to the rack gear 52 rotates, and the drive pulley 54 coupled to the pinion 53 rotates. Since the driving pulley 54 is connected to the driven pulley 55 by the belt 56, the driven pulley 55 also rotates by the rotation of the driving pulley 54.

When the driven pulley 55 rotates, the driving roller 57 which is integrally coupled to the driven pulley 55 rotates. As the driving roller 57 rotates as described above, the guide member 35, which is in contact with the side surface of the driving roller 57, is slid and guided by the rotating driving roller 57. At this time, while the guide member 35 is guided sliding, the adjacent driven roller 58 is idling in the roller shaft 59 to assist the sliding guide of the guide member 35.

As such, the guide member 35 is slid and guided by the operation of the driving unit 50, and the slider 34 is slidably moved relative to the support part 32 by moving the position of the slider 34 coupled thereto. Accordingly, when the entire cellular phone is viewed, the cover 20 is opened to the body portion 10 in the " B " direction as shown in Fig. 1B.

On the contrary, when the use of the cellular phone is completed, the control button 16 is pressed again. Then, while the power from the battery is applied to the drive motor 51, the drive motor 51 is rotated in the reverse direction described above.

When the rotating shaft 51a of the drive motor 51 rotates in the above-mentioned reverse direction, the driving roller 57 is finally also reversed by the various mechanisms linked from the rack gear 52 coupled to the rotating shaft 51a. Rotate Therefore, when the guide member 35 moves the slider 34 while slidingly guiding in the opposite direction as described above, when the entire mobile phone is viewed, the cover portion 20 is shielded in the "A" direction with respect to the main body portion 10. It will be in the same state as in FIG. 1A.

As such, according to the present invention, the sliding movement of the cover portion 20 may be smoother and smoother while automatically implementing the sliding movement of the cover portion 20 with respect to the main body portion 10.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the above-described embodiment, the sliding assembly has been intensively described, but it should be noted that a mobile phone equipped with a sliding assembly having such a configuration and an effect so that the cover part slides with respect to the main body is also within the scope of the present invention. There is no.

In the above-described embodiment, it can be seen that the camera unit is provided and various function buttons are provided in the cover unit. However, there is no problem in applying the present invention even if the camera unit is missing or the positions of the function buttons are changed.

In the above-described embodiment, the control button is provided on the side of the main body portion, but the installation position of the control button may be provided in any position because it is irrelevant to the idea of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that the sliding movement of the cover portion can be smoother and smoother while automatically implementing the sliding movement of the cover portion relative to the main body portion.
