- Referring to
FIGS. 1-4 , amobile terminal 100 is provided in the present disclosure. Themobile terminal 100 may include aleft side face 101, aright side face 102, afront side face 103, arear side face 104, and atop side face 105. Theleft side face 101 may be disposed opposite to theright side face 102. Thefront side face 103 may be disposed opposite to therear side face 104. Thefront side face 103 may be connected between theleft side face 101 and theright side face 102. Therear side face 104 may be connected between theleft side face 101 and theright side face 102. Thetop face 105 may be connected between thefront side face 103 and therear side face 104, and further connected between theleft side face 101 and theright side 102. - A receiving
groove 10 may be defined in themobile terminal 100. Thereceiving groove 10 may be located between thefront side face 103 and therear side face 104, and penetrate through from theleft side face 101 to theright side face 102. - The
mobile terminal 100 may include asliding device 1. Thesliding device 1 may be retractable and slidable with respect to thereceiving groove 10. Thesliding device 1 may include aleft sidewall 11, aright sidewall 12, afront sidewall 13, arear sidewall 14, and atop wall 15. Theleft sidewall 11 may be disposed opposite to theright sidewall 12. Thefront sidewall 13 may be connected between theleft sidewall 11 and theright sidewall 12. Therear sidewall 14 may be connected between theleft sidewall 11 and theright sidewall 12. Thetop wall 15 may be connected between theleft sidewall 11 and theright sidewall 12, and further between thefront sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14. - The
mobile terminal 100 may include afirst screen 21 and afirst camera 31. Thefirst screen 21 may be disposed on thefront side face 103. Thefirst camera 31 may be disposed on thesliding device 1. When thesliding device 1 carries thefirst camera 31 to retract into thereceiving groove 10, thetop wall 15 may form the wholetop face 105 or a part of thetop face 105, that is to say, thetop wall 15 may form at least a part of thetop face 105. Theleft sidewall 11 may form a part of theleft side face 101, and theright sidewall 12 may form a part of theright side face 102. When thesliding device 1 carries thefirst camera 31 to extend out of the receivinggroove 10, and an image capturing surface of thefirst camera 31 can be exposed out of the receivinggroove 10. At this time, photographing may be performed with thefirst camera 31. - In the present embodiment, the
sliding device 1 can carry thefirst camera 31 to retract into or extend out of thereceiving groove 10; in this way, when the photographing is needed, thesliding device 1 may carry thefirst camera 31 to extend out of thereceiving groove 10 to take a picture; when the photographing is not needed, thesliding device 1 may carry thefirst camera 31 to retract into thereceiving groove 10. Therefore, thefirst camera 31 does not need to occupy the space on thefront side face 103 of themobile terminal 100, and thefirst screen 21 may be arranged as large as possible on thefront side face 103, such that the screen ratio of themobile terminal 100 may be relatively high. - For example, the screen ratio of the
mobile terminal 100 may be as high as 85% or even 95%. The screen ratio may refer to a display area of the screen of the mobile terminal 100 (such as the first screen 21) and a projection area of themobile terminal 100 as a whole in a plane perpendicular to a thickness direction of themobile terminal 100. - In the present embodiment, the
first camera 31 may be retracted into the inside of themobile terminal 100 when not in use, in order to obtain protection from the peripheral structure, and may be extended out of themobile terminal 100 for photographing as required. In this way, the problems of wear, dust entering, and the like due to a long-term exposure may be avoided, and the quality of photographing of thefirst camera 31 may be effectively ensured. Since the receivinggroove 10 penetrates through from theleft side face 101 to theright side face 102, the receivinggroove 10 may have a large volume, and may be easily processed. The appearance and shape of themobile terminal 100 may keep consistent. Similarly, since the receivinggroove 10 have a large volume, a volume of the slidingdevice 1 that cooperates with the receivinggroove 10 can also be set larger, so that the slidingdevice 1 may receive more functional components. In this way, the arrangement of the functional components of themobile terminal 100 may be more flexible and diverse. - It can be understood that, “the image capturing surface of the
first camera 31 can be exposed out” means that the image capturing surface of thefirst camera 31 will not be blocked by any component of themobile terminal 100 that may have a light blocking effect (for example, a screen, and the like), so that the photographing may be performed successfully. Of course, it is also allowed that a light-transmitting lens and the like may cover the image capturing surface of thefirst camera 31, in order to protect thefirst camera 31. - In this case, the
first screen 21 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. - In one embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , the slidingdevice 1 may be further provided with at least one of functional components selected from a group comprising asecond camera 32, an iris recognition module, a face recognition module, a flash, an earpiece 33 (also called as a receiver), a microphone (also called as MIC), aphotoreceptor 34, and a fingerprint module. When thesecond camera 32 needs to perform photographing, the slidingdevice 1 may carry thesecond camera 32 to extend out of the receivinggroove 10. The photographing directions respectively of thefirst camera 31 and thesecond camera 32 may be the same (either face to the front or the rear of the mobile terminal), or may be different (one faces to the front and the other faces to the rear). The functional devices (such as theearpiece 33, thephotoreceptor 34, the fingerprint module, and the like) may be disposed in the slidingdevice 1; in this way, the functional devices may be unfolded with respect to thefirst screen 21 when needed, and folded with respect to thefirst screen 21 when not in use. That is to say, the functional devices may be covered by thefirst screen 21 or may be seen from the outside of the mobile terminal. Therefore, it does not need to occupy the front space of themobile terminal 100, so that thefirst screen 21 may have a larger display area, and the screen ratio of themobile terminal 100 may be increased. The functional components received in the slidingdevice 1 may be arranged in a misaligned manner to avoid a too large thickness of themobile terminal 100 due to the overlapping placement. - Referring to
FIGS. 5-8 , when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, the relative positional relationships between the slidingdevice 1 and the receivinggroove 10 in different embodiments are different. Examples are given below. - In the first embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefront sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14 are both completely received in the receivinggroove 10. In this case, as shown inFIG. 5 , thefront sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14 may be planar, and thefront sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14 may be parallel to each other. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thetop wall 15 may form a part of thetop face 105. - Of course, in other embodiments, both the
front sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14 may be planar, and thefront sidewall 13 may be arranged at an angle to therear sidewall 14, and the angle may be less than or equal to 45°. Optionally, both thefront sidewall 13 and therear sidewall 14 may be curved. Optionally, as shown inFIG. 6 , thefront sidewall 13 may include two adjacent planes connected to each other, and therear sidewall 14 may include two adjacent planes connected to each other. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, the top wall may form thetop face 105. - In this case, a groove wall of the receiving
groove 10 may include afirst wall face 10 a and asecond wall face 10 b. A shape of thefirst wall face 10 a may match with that of thefront sidewall 13. A shape of thesecond wall face 10 b may match with that of therear sidewall 14. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefront sidewall 13 may contact with thefirst wall face 10 a, and therear sidewall 14 may contact with thesecond wall face 10 b. - In the second embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 7 and 8 , thefront sidewall 13 may include afirst portion 131 and asecond portion 132 connected to thefirst portion 131. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefirst portion 131 may be received in the receivinggroove 10, and thesecond portion 132 may be located outside the receivinggroove 10 and form a part of thefront side face 103. Thetop wall 15 may form thetop face 105. In other words, when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, a part of the slidingdevice 1 may be received in the receivinggroove 10 and a part of the slidingdevice 1 may be located outside the receivinggroove 10. At this time, the user may drive the sliding device to retract into or extend out of the receivinggroove 10 by clamping or pushing thesecond portion 132. - The
front sidewall 13 may further include athird portion 133 connected between thefirst portion 131 and thesecond portion 132. Thethird portion 133 may extend at an angle to thefirst portion 131, and the angle is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°. For example, as shown inFIG. 7 , thethird portion 133 may be perpendicular to thefirst portion 131. Optionally, as shown inFIG. 8 , the angle formed between thethird portion 133 and thefirst portion 131 may be 135°. In the present embodiment, thethird portion 133 may provide a restriction to the slidingdevice 1 when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, so that the slidingdevice 1 may be positioned accurately. Besides, it is possible to prevent the slidingdevice 1 from excessively entering the receivinggroove 10, which may prevent an impact and damage to the components inside themobile terminal 100 due to the excessively entering of the slidingdevice 1. - The groove wall of the receiving
groove 10 may include thefirst wall face 10 a. If thethird portion 133 is perpendicular to thefirst portion 131, the shape of thefirst wall face 10 a may match with that of thefirst portion 131. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefirst portion 131 may contact with thefirst wall face 10 a. However, if an obtuse angle is formed between thethird portion 133 and thefirst portion 131, the shape of thefirst wall face 10 a may match with the shapes respectively of thefirst portion 131 and thethird portion 133. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefirst portion 131 and thethird portion 133 may contact with thefirst wall face 10 a. - In this case, the
rear sidewall 14 may include afourth portion 141 and afifth portion 142. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefourth portion 141 may be received in the receivinggroove 10, and thefifth portion 142 may be located outside the receivinggroove 10 and form a part of therear side face 104. In other words, when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, a part of the slidingdevice 1 may be received in the receivinggroove 10 and a part of the slidingdevice 1 may be located outside the receivinggroove 10. At this time, the user may drive the sliding device to retract into or extend out of the receivinggroove 10 by clamping or pushing thefifth portion 142. - The
rear sidewall 14 may further include a sixth portion 143 connected between thefourth portion 141 and thefifth portion 142. The sixth portion 143 may extend at an angle to thefourth portion 141, and the angle is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°. For example, as shown inFIG. 7 , the sixth portion 143 may be perpendicular to thefourth portion 141. Optionally, as shown inFIG. 8 , the angle formed between the sixth portion 143 and thefourth portion 141 may be 135°. In the present embodiment, the sixth portion 143 may provide a restriction to the slidingdevice 1 when the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, so that the slidingdevice 1 may be positioned accurately. Besides, it is possible to prevent the slidingdevice 1 from excessively entering the receivinggroove 10, which may prevent an impact and damage to the components inside themobile terminal 100 due to the excessively entering of the slidingdevice 1. - The groove wall of the receiving
groove 10 includes asecond wall face 10 b. If the sixth portion 143 is perpendicular to thefourth portion 141, the shape of thesecond wall face 10 b may match with that of thefourth portion 141. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefourth portion 141 may contact with thesecond wall face 10 b. However, if an obtuse angle is formed between the sixth portion 143 and thefourth portion 141, the shape of thesecond wall face 10 b may match with the shapes respectively of thefourth portion 141 and the sixth portion 143. When the slidingdevice 1 retracts into the receivinggroove 10, thefourth portion 141 and the sixth portion 143 may contact with thesecond wall face 10 b. - In one embodiment, referring to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 9 , themobile terminal 100 may further include asecond screen 22. Thesecond screen 22 may be disposed on therear side face 104.
