Therefore, in the mobile terminal 100 of the present invention, since the battery 190 is fixed to the XY plane by the battery support 103, the battery 190 flows toward the display unit 151 even if an external force acts on the mobile terminal 100. (Flow in the Z-axis direction) is prevented.

On the other hand, the above-described embodiment is a case in which the protrusion 104 of the battery support 103 is provided in the front case 101, and the protrusion receiving groove 193 is provided in the battery 190, but the protrusion 104 and the protrusion are described. The position of the accommodation groove 193 can be changed.

That is, the protrusion accommodating groove 193 may be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the battery accommodating part 1011, and the protrusion 104 may be provided on the battery 190.

Furthermore, although the mobile terminal 100 disclosed in FIG. 4 discloses a battery support 103 provided with one protrusion 104, the number of the protrusions 104 may be added as needed.

5 and 6 illustrate another embodiment of the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention. The present embodiment has a difference in the structure of the battery support 103 when compared with the embodiment shown in FIG. The present embodiment will be described centering on (103).

The battery support part 103 provided in the present embodiment is inserted into the body 105 positioned in the mounting groove 1015a of the mounting portion 1015 and the through hole 1015c of the mounting portion 1015, but has one end accommodating the battery. Located at the part 1011 and the other end includes a protrusion 104 connected to the body 105, the elastic support 106 is located in the mounting groove 1015a but elastically supports the body 105.

As shown in FIG. 5, the battery support 103 may be provided to include at least two protrusions 104, but only one protrusion 104 may be provided.

Therefore, in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present embodiment, when the battery 190 is inserted into the battery accommodating part 1011, the protrusion 104 is inserted into the protrusion accommodating groove 193, thereby fixing the battery 190 to the XY plane. It is possible to prevent the battery 190 from flowing in the Z-axis direction by an external force.

Meanwhile, FIG. 5 illustrates a case in which the elastic support part 106 is provided with a leaf spring, which is only an example of the elastic support part 106. The elastic support part 106 is provided in the mounting groove 1015a. As long as it can elastically support the body 105 may be provided in any form.

That is, the elastic support 106 may be provided with the coil spring shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention, in which the structures of the mounting unit 1015 and the battery support unit 103 are distinguished from the embodiments of FIGS. 4 to 6.

Therefore, the present embodiment will be described below focusing on the structures of the mounting unit 1015 and the battery support unit 103.

The battery support 103 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that one board or plate that is capable of providing elastic force to the battery is provided in a bent form to fix the position of the battery 190. .

That is, the battery support part 103 provided in the present embodiment includes an elastic support part 106. The elastic support part 106 may have a fixing plate 1061 fixed to the front case 101 and the protrusion 104 may be fixed. The fixing plate 1061 is bent so that the elastic plate 1063 is provided.

The mounting portion 1015 may be provided with only the mounting groove 1015a provided in the front case 101, the fixing plate 1061 is fixed to the mounting groove 1015a through a fastening means such as a bolt, the mounting Depth (h) of the groove (1015a) is preferably provided so that the top end of the elastic plate 1063 is not exposed to the outside.

This is because when the elastic support 106 fixed to the mounting groove 1015a through the fixing plate 1061 is exposed to the outside of the mounting groove 1015a may cause a problem of increasing the thickness of the mobile terminal 100. .

That is, when the top end of the elastic plate 1063 is exposed to the outside of the mounting groove 1015a, the rear case 102 is provided with a groove for accommodating the elastic plate 1063 protruding from the surface of the front case 101. This is because the entire thickness of the mobile terminal 100 is inevitably increased because a space must be formed between the rear case 102 and the front case 101 to avoid interference with the elastic plate 1063.

Meanwhile, the elastic plate 1063 may be provided to be spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the battery accommodating part 1011 by a predetermined distance (g).

This is to allow the elastic plate 1063 to elastically support the battery 190 when the battery 190 flows inside the battery accommodating portion 1011 by an external force.

Furthermore, the protrusion 104 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the protrusion body 1041 and the protrusion body 1041 provided in a bar shape, and the first flange 1043 and the second flange 1045 spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. It may be provided to include a fixed body 1047 positioned between the first flange and the second flange.

In this case, the elastic plate 1063 may be provided with a fixing groove 1065 in which the fixing body 1047 is accommodated, and an insertion groove 1067 for guiding the fixing body 1047 to the fixing groove 1065. .

However, the width (R) of the fixing groove 1065 is preferably provided to have a longer length than the width (W) of the insertion groove 1067, which is a fixed body (1047) inserted into the fixing groove (1065) This is to prevent the draw out to the outside of the fixing groove (1065).

Meanwhile, the diameter of the fixed body 1047 may be provided in the same manner as the width R of the fixed groove. In this case, the fixed body 1047 is fitted into the insertion groove 1067 and then fixed to the fixed groove 1065. You will settle down.

The first flange 1043 and the second flange 1045 not only prevent the fixed body 1047 from being drawn out of the fixed groove 1065, but also the fixed body 1047 is fixed through the insertion groove 1067. When inserted into the 1065 serves to guide the movement of the fixed body (1047).

Therefore, in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present embodiment, when the battery 190 is inserted into the battery accommodating part 1011, the protrusion 104 is inserted into the protrusion accommodating groove 193, thereby fixing the battery 190 to the XY plane. It is possible to prevent the battery 190 from flowing in the Z-axis direction by an external force.

The present invention may be practiced in various forms and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
