Description

슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기Sliding and Tilting Handheld Terminal
본 발명은 휴대단말기에 관한 것으로서, 특히 휴대단말기본체로부터 휴대단말기커버체를 슬라이딩 및 틸팅되게 하여 휴대단말기커버체를 다양한 상태로 유지할 수 있는 슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a sliding and tiltable portable terminal capable of maintaining a portable terminal cover body in various states by sliding and tilting the portable terminal cover body from the portable terminal base body.
최근에는 휴대단말기의 보급률이 높아짐에 따라, 휴대단말기에 대한 단순한 무선통신의 고유기능뿐만 아니라 개폐동작에 있어서도 사용자의 취향에 맞는 부가적인 기능이 요구되고 있다.Recently, as the penetration rate of portable terminals increases, additional functions that are suitable for the user's taste are required not only for the inherent functions of simple wireless communication for portable terminals but also for opening and closing operations.
이러한 요구에 따라, 휴대단말기들은 일반적인 바 타입(bar type)부터 플립타입(flip type), 폴더 타입(folder type) 및 슬라이드 타입(slide type) 등으로 발전하였다.In response to these demands, portable terminals have been developed from a general bar type to a flip type, a folder type, a slide type, and the like.
특히 슬라이드 타입 단말기는 디스플레이 장치로서 와이드 엘씨디 모듈을 채택할 만큼 공간적인 여유가 충분하며, 크기가 반으로 줄어들어 휴대성 또한 타 단말기보다 우수하다. In particular, the slide type terminal has enough space to adopt a wide LCD module as a display device, and its size is reduced in half so that portability is superior to other terminals.
그러나 이러한 휴대단말기는 사용자가 엘시디 모듈을 바라보는 각도가 한정되어 있어 많은 불편함이 따른다. 이를 위해 최근에는 슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기가 출시되었다.However, such a portable terminal has a lot of inconvenience because the user is limited to the angle of viewing the LCD module. Recently, portable terminals capable of sliding and tilting have been released.
이러한 슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기는 대한민국 등록특허공보 제10-0623489호에 개시되어 있다. 이 공보에 개시된 단말기는 휴대단말기본체(10), 휴대단말기커버체(20) 및 2방향 개폐장치를 포함한다.Such a sliding and tiltable portable terminal is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0623489. The terminal disclosed in this publication includes a portable terminal basic body 10, a portable terminal cover body 20, and a two-way opening and closing apparatus.
휴대단말기본체(10)는 휴대단말기의 제어부로서 각종 기능을 제어하기 위한 키패드가 설치되고, 휴대단말기커버체(20)는 휴대단말기본체(10)의 출력신호를 디스플레이하는 액정화면이 장착된다.The mobile terminal basic body 10 is provided with a keypad for controlling various functions as a control unit of the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal cover body 20 is equipped with a liquid crystal screen for displaying the output signal of the mobile terminal basic body 10.
2방향 개폐장치는 휴대단말기커버체(20)가 휴대단말기본체(10)로부터 서로 엇갈리는 제1 방향으로 슬라이딩되어 개폐되는 것을 가능하게 하며, 휴대단말기커버체(20)가 휴대단말기본체(10)로부터 일측이 들려지는 제2 방향으로 회전하는 것을 가능하게 한다. 구체적으로 2방향 개폐장치는 휴대단말기커버체(20)에 고정되는 가이드레일(50)과 가이드레일(50)이 제1 방향으로 슬라이드 되도록 가이드하는 슬라이드블록(40)과, 휴대단말기본체(10)에 고정되며 슬라이드블록(40)을 제2 방향으로 회전 가능하게 결합시키는 힌지부(30)를 포함한다.The two-way opening and closing device enables the mobile terminal cover body 20 to be opened and closed by sliding in a first direction intersecting with each other from the mobile terminal base body 10, and the mobile terminal cover body 20 is removed from the mobile terminal base body 10. It is possible to rotate in the second direction in which one side is lifted. Specifically, the two-way opening and closing device includes a guide block 50 fixed to the portable terminal cover body 20 and a slide block 40 for guiding the guide rail 50 to slide in the first direction, and the mobile terminal basic body 10. It is fixed to the hinge block 30 for rotatably coupling the slide block 40 in the second direction.
힌지부(30)는 휴대단말기본체(10)에 고정되는 하우징(31)과, 일측은 하우징(31)에 제2 방향으로 회전가능하게 설치되고, 타측은 슬라이드블록(40)에 결합되는 연결축(32)을 포함한다. 또한 힌지부(30)는 연결축(32)이 제2 방향으로 회전하지 않은 상태와 제2 방향으로 소정 각도 회전된 상태에서 연결축(32)에 대하여 소정의 제동력을 발생시키기 위한 클러치 수단을 갖는다.The hinge portion 30 is a housing 31 fixed to the mobile terminal basic body 10, one side is rotatably installed in the housing 31 in the second direction, the other side is coupled to the slide block 40 And (32). In addition, the hinge portion 30 has clutch means for generating a predetermined braking force with respect to the connecting shaft 32 in a state in which the connecting shaft 32 does not rotate in the second direction and is rotated a predetermined angle in the second direction. .
상기와 같은 구성으로 이루어진 종래의 슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기는 가이드레일(50)이 슬라이드블록(40)을 따라 끝까지 이동하여 휴대단말기커버체(20)를 제1 방향으로 개방시키게 된다. 이후 휴대단말기커버체(20)의 일측 가장장리를 들어올리면 휴대단말기커버체(20)가 연결축(32)을 중심으로 제2 방향으로 회전하게 된다. 이때 클러치 수단의 제동력에 의해 휴대단말기커버체(20)의 회전각도를 자유롭게 조정할 수 있게 된다. In the conventional sliding and tiltable portable terminal having the above configuration, the guide rail 50 moves to the end along the slide block 40 to open the portable terminal cover body 20 in the first direction. Thereafter, when one side edge of the mobile terminal cover body 20 is lifted up, the mobile terminal cover body 20 rotates about the connecting shaft 32 in the second direction. At this time, the rotation angle of the portable terminal cover body 20 can be freely adjusted by the braking force of the clutch means.
그러나 종래의 슬라이딩 및 틸팅 가능한 휴대단말기는 연결축(32)의 일측만이 하우징(31)에 결합되어 있고 타측은 자유상태에 놓이기 때문에, 연결축(32)의 길이가 길어질 경우 타측의 유동변위가 커져 틸팅시 연결축(320)의 타측에 연결된 슬라이드블록(40)이 흔들리게 될 우려가 있다. 이는 제품의 안정성을 떨어지게 하고, 신뢰성이 악화되는 문제를 초래한다.However, in the conventional sliding and tiltable portable terminal, since only one side of the connecting shaft 32 is coupled to the housing 31 and the other side is in a free state, when the length of the connecting shaft 32 becomes long, the flow displacement of the other side is increased. There is a risk that the slide block 40 connected to the other side of the connecting shaft 320 is shaken during the tilting.

고정블럭(630)은 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 흔들리는 것을 줄이기 위해 회전샤프트(620)의 내부에 삽입되어 회전 가능하게 결합되고, 휴대단말기본체(100)의 일면에 고정결합된다.The fixed block 630 is rotatably coupled to the inside of the rotary shaft 620 to reduce shaking during the rotation of the rotary shaft 620 and is fixedly coupled to one surface of the mobile terminal base 100.
구체적으로 고정블럭(630)은 메인바디(300)와 마주보는 일면이 경사지게 형성된다. 즉, 고정블럭(630)은 메인바디(300)방향에 있는 일면이 메인바디(300)가 틸팅되는 방향으로 경사지게 형성된다. 따라서 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 메인바디(300)가 고정블럭(630)과 접촉되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.In detail, the fixed block 630 is formed such that one surface facing the main body 300 is inclined. That is, the fixed block 630 is formed such that one surface in the main body 300 direction is inclined in the direction in which the main body 300 is tilted. Therefore, when the rotation shaft 620 is rotated, the main body 300 may be prevented from contacting the fixed block 630.
또한 고정블럭(630)의 양측에는 원통형의 고정돌기(631)가 형성되는데, 고정돌기(631)는 각각 회전샤프트(620) 방향으로 돌출형성된다. 위와 같이 형성된 고정돌기는(631)는 회전샤프트(620)와 동심선상에 배치되어 회전샤프트(620)가 고정돌기(631)를 중심으로 회전되게 한다. In addition, cylindrical fixing protrusions 631 are formed at both sides of the fixing block 630, and the fixing protrusions 631 are formed to protrude in the direction of the rotation shaft 620, respectively. The fixing protrusion 631 formed as above is disposed on the concentric line with the rotary shaft 620 so that the rotary shaft 620 is rotated about the fixing protrusion 631.
따라서 일측이 휴대단말기본체(100)에 힌지결합된 회전샤프트(620)는 타측이 휴대단말기본체(100)에 고정결합된 고정블럭(630)에 의해 한번 더 휴대단말기본체(100)와 힌지결합된다. 이와 같이 회전샤프트(620)는 힌지하우징(610) 및 고정블럭(630)에 의해 양측이 모두 휴대단말기본체(100)에 힌지결합됨으로써, 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 흔들림을 최소화 할 수 있다.Therefore, the rotary shaft 620, one side of which is hinged to the mobile terminal main body 100, is hinged to the mobile terminal main body 100 once again by a fixed block 630, the other side of which is fixedly coupled to the mobile terminal main body 100. . As described above, both sides of the rotary shaft 620 are hinged to the portable terminal main body 100 by the hinge housing 610 and the fixed block 630, thereby minimizing shaking when the rotary shaft 620 is rotated.
또한 고정돌기(631)와 회전샤프트(620) 사이에는 연결홀더(660)가 삽입된다. 연결홀더(660)는 양단이 메인바디(300) 방향으로 구부러지게 형성되어 고정돌기(631)를 감싸되, 양단의 간격은 고정돌기(631)의 지름보다 좁게 형성된다. 즉, 연결홀더(660)는 'C' 자 형상으로 형성되며, 개방된 일단이 고정돌기(631)의 지름보다 좁게 형성되어 고정돌기(631)가 쉽게 이탈되는 것을 방지한다. 또한, 연결홀더(660)는 탄성력이 있는 합성수지계열의 재질로 이루어져 고정돌기(631)의 조립시 개방된 일단이 벌어질 수 있도록 한다.In addition, a connection holder 660 is inserted between the fixing protrusion 631 and the rotation shaft 620. Both ends of the connection holder 660 are formed to be bent in the direction of the main body 300 to surround the fixing protrusion 631, and the gap between both ends thereof is smaller than the diameter of the fixing protrusion 631. That is, the connection holder 660 is formed in a 'C' shape, the open end is formed narrower than the diameter of the fixing protrusion 631 to prevent the fixing protrusion 631 is easily separated. In addition, the connection holder 660 is made of a synthetic resin series material having an elastic force so that one end opened when the fixing protrusion 631 is assembled.
연결홀더(660)를 장착한 고정돌기(631)는 회전샤프트(620)의 타측내부에 삽입 고정된다. 회전샤프트(620)에 삽입된 연결홀더(660)는 더 이상 벌어지지 않게 된다. 이와 같이 연결홀더(660)를 고정돌기(631)에 미리 장착함으로써, 고정블럭(630)의 조립을 용이하게 할 수 있다. 또한 연결홀더(660)는 금속재질로 이루어진 회전샤프트(620)와 고정돌기(631) 사이에 삽입되어 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 발생하는 마찰을 줄이는 역할을 한다.The fixing protrusion 631 equipped with the connection holder 660 is inserted into and fixed to the other side of the rotary shaft 620. The connection holder 660 inserted into the rotary shaft 620 is no longer opened. By attaching the connection holder 660 to the fixing protrusion 631 in this manner, the assembly of the fixing block 630 can be facilitated. In addition, the connection holder 660 is inserted between the rotation shaft 620 and the fixing protrusion 631 made of a metal material serves to reduce the friction generated when the rotation shaft 620 rotates.

도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 휴대단말기커버체(200)를 상측방향으로 밀게 되면 휴대단말기커버체(200)는 휴대단말기본체(100)의 상측으로 슬라이딩 이동하게 된다.As shown in FIG. 8, when the mobile terminal cover body 200 is pushed upward, the mobile terminal cover body 200 slides upward of the mobile terminal base body 100.
즉, 도 9에 도시된 바와 같이 슬라이드바디(400)는 메인바디(300)를 따라 메인바디(300)의 상측방향으로 슬라이딩 이동한다. 슬라이드바디(400)가 이동함에 따라 제1 탄성부재(500)는 압축 되었다가, 슬라이드바디(400)가 제1 탄성부재(500)의 최대압축지점을 지나게 되면 다시 팽창하여 슬라이드바디(400)를 자동으로 이동시킨다. 즉, 슬라이드바디(400)는 메인바디(300)의 약 중간지점을 지나게 되면 자동으로 이동하게 된다.That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the slide body 400 slides along the main body 300 in an upward direction of the main body 300. As the slide body 400 moves, the first elastic member 500 is compressed. When the slide body 400 passes the maximum compression point of the first elastic member 500, the first elastic member 500 is compressed again to expand the slide body 400. Move it automatically. That is, the slide body 400 is automatically moved when passing about the midpoint of the main body 300.
이 후 슬라이드바디(400)의 하단에 장착되어 있는 스토퍼(410)와 메인바디(300)의 하단이 접하면, 슬라이드바디(400)는 정지하게 된다. 따라서 슬라이드바디(400)의 하단은 메인바디(300)의 하단에 위치하게 되고, 마찬가지로 힌지유닛(600)도 슬라이드바디(400)의 하단에 위치하게 된다.After that, when the stopper 410 mounted on the bottom of the slide body 400 and the bottom of the main body 300 come into contact with each other, the slide body 400 is stopped. Accordingly, the lower end of the slide body 400 is located at the lower end of the main body 300, and likewise, the hinge unit 600 is also positioned at the lower end of the slide body 400.
그 다음 도 10에 도시된 바와 같이 휴대단말기커버체(200)를 슬라이딩 방향과 직교되는 방향으로 들어올리게 되면 휴대단말기커버체(200)는 힌지유닛(600)을 중심으로 회전한다.Then, as illustrated in FIG. 10, when the mobile terminal cover body 200 is lifted in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, the mobile terminal cover body 200 rotates about the hinge unit 600.
이때 도 11에 도시된 바와 같이 메인바디(300)와 연결된 회전샤프트(620)는 힌지하우징(610)에 삽입되어 회전하면서 메인바디(300)를 틸팅시킨다.In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the rotation shaft 620 connected to the main body 300 is inserted into the hinge housing 610 to rotate the main body 300.
회전샤프트(620)가 회전하면서 회전샤프트(620)의 정지홈(621)에 삽입되어 있던 정지돌기(641)는 정지홈(621)에서 이탈된다. 정지돌기(641)가 정지홈(621)을 벗어나면서 걸림부재(640)는 제2 탄성부재(650)를 압축시키게 되고, 걸림부재(640)는 제2 탄성부재(650)의 팽창력에 의해 회전샤프트(620)를 정지시키게 된다. 즉, 걸림부재(640)는 일정각도로 회전된 회전샤프트(620)가 일정 각도로 틸팅된 상태를 유지할 수 있게 한다. 이로 인해 회전샤프트(620)는 제2 탄성부재(650)의해 여러각도에서 정지하여 휴대단말기커버체(200)를 다양한 각도로 틸팅되게 한다.As the rotary shaft 620 rotates, the stop protrusion 641 inserted into the stop groove 621 of the rotary shaft 620 is separated from the stop groove 621. As the stop protrusion 641 leaves the stop groove 621, the locking member 640 compresses the second elastic member 650, and the locking member 640 rotates by the expansion force of the second elastic member 650. The shaft 620 is stopped. That is, the locking member 640 allows the rotating shaft 620 rotated at a predetermined angle to maintain a tilted state. As a result, the rotary shaft 620 is stopped at various angles by the second elastic member 650 to tilt the portable terminal cover body 200 at various angles.
한편 도 12 및 도 13에 도시된 바와 같이 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 회전샤프트(620)의 타측 내부에 삽입된 고정블럭(630)은 휴대단말기본체(100)와 결합되어 회전하지 않는다.Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the fixed block 630 inserted into the other side of the rotary shaft 620 when the rotary shaft 620 is rotated is not coupled to the mobile terminal main body 100 to rotate.
또한 고정돌기(631)와 회전샤프트(620) 사이에 삽입된 연결홀더(660)는 회전샤프트(620)의 회전시 함께 회전하게 된다. 따라서 연결홀더(660)는 고정돌기(631)와 접하여 회전하게 되는데, 연결홀더(660)는 합성수지계열의 재질로 이루어짐으로써 고정돌기(631)와의 마찰을 최소화 할 수 있다.In addition, the connection holder 660 inserted between the fixing protrusion 631 and the rotation shaft 620 is rotated together when the rotation shaft 620 is rotated. Therefore, the connection holder 660 is rotated in contact with the fixing protrusion 631, the connection holder 660 is made of a synthetic resin series material can minimize the friction with the fixing protrusion 631.
또한 회전샤프트(620)는 고정블럭(630)의 양측에 형성된 고정돌기(631)와 힌지 결합되어 고정돌기(631)를 중심으로 회전하게 된다. 따라서 회전샤프트(620)의 일측은 힌지하우징(610)을 중심으로 회전하게 되고, 타측은 고정돌기(631)를 중심으로 회전하게 된다. 이와 같이 회전샤프트(620)를 휴대단말기본체(100)에 고정결합된 고정돌기(631)를 중심으로 회전되게 함으로써, 휴대단말기커버체(200)의 틸팅동작 시 회전샤프트(620)의 흔들림을 최소화하여 제품의 안정성과 신뢰성을 향상시키게 된다.In addition, the rotation shaft 620 is hinged to the fixing protrusions 631 formed on both sides of the fixing block 630 to rotate about the fixing protrusions 631. Therefore, one side of the rotation shaft 620 is rotated about the hinge housing 610, the other side is rotated around the fixing protrusion 631. As such, the rotation shaft 620 is rotated about the fixing protrusion 631 fixedly coupled to the mobile terminal basic body 100, thereby minimizing the shaking of the rotation shaft 620 during the tilting operation of the mobile terminal cover body 200. This improves the stability and reliability of the product.
