The protection cover 150 is also advantageous for sealing design to isolate the mounting groove 101 from the mounting cavity where the circuit board and the battery are located, and prevent foreign matters such as water or dust from entering the mounting cavity through the mounting groove 101. It is understood that the protective cover 150 is not necessary and thus may be omitted, for example, the rear cover 130 forms a mounting cavity with the middle frame 120, and the mounting seat 200 is disposed in the mounting cavity, and in this embodiment, the supporting body 140 may be disposed on the rear cover 130 to support the mounting seat 200 during rotation of the mounting seat 200.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the body 100 includes a mounting bracket 160, a transmission mechanism 170 and a motor 180, the mounting bracket 160 is fixedly connected to the middle plate 120, for example, the mounting bracket 160 is fixedly connected to the middle plate 121 by screws.

Referring to fig. 13 and 14, the mounting bracket 160 includes a boss 161 and a protruding ring 163 disposed on an outer periphery of the boss 161, the boss 161 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 120, a groove 162 for accommodating the motor 180 is disposed on a side of the boss 161 facing the display screen module 110, and an output end of the motor 180 extends out of the groove 162. Referring to fig. 15, the base 220 is formed with a through hole 221, and a part of the transmission mechanism 170 is formed through the through hole 221 and fixedly connected to the base 220. The protruding ring 163 has a first end 163a away from the display module 110, and a cross-sectional profile of the first end 163a is arc-shaped, so that during the rotation of the mounting base 200 relative to the body 100, the first end 163a can support the base 220 to correct the deflection of the mounting base 200 during the rotation, thereby improving the motion stability of the mounting base 200. The above-described configuration of the first end 163a not only provides effective support for the mount 200, but also reduces frictional resistance between the mount 200 and the first end 163 a. It will be appreciated that the support of first end 163a to mount 200 may be a secondary support, and mount 200 may be supported by other structures within, and thus first end 163a need not be in contact with mount 200.

Further, referring to fig. 16, 17 and 18, the transmission mechanism 170 includes a first gear 171, a second gear 173 and an end cover 175, the first gear 171 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 180, the second gear 173 includes a plurality of gears, and the plurality of gears 173 are arranged at intervals to be engaged with the outer circumference of the first gear 171 and respectively engaged with the first gear 171. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of the second gears 173 is 3, and the central angle of the interval between two adjacent second gears 173 is 120 degrees. In other embodiments, the number of the second gears 173 may be 3 or more. With reference to fig. 14 and 16, one of the second gear 173 and the side of the boss 161 facing away from the groove 162 is provided with a boss 165, and the other of the second gear 173 and the side of the boss 161 facing away from the groove 162 is provided with a shaft hole 173a capable of rotatably engaging with the boss 165.

The output of the motor 180 can drive the first gear 171 to rotate and the mounting base 200 to rotate through the second gear 173 and the end cap 175. The transmission mechanism 170 is compact, and the second gear 173 and the end cap 175 can be arranged to form a larger transmission ratio, so as to facilitate the motor 180 to drive the mounting base 200 to rotate. The material of the end cap 175 may be different from that of the seat 220, and the end cap 175 may be made of a material with higher strength, such as stainless steel, to reduce the thickness of the end cap 175, so that the mounting seat 200 may be light and thin, and the seat 220 may be made of a material with relatively lower strength, such as aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy. Further, referring to fig. 19 in combination with fig. 15, one of the outer periphery of the end cap 175 and the hole wall of the through hole 221 of the base 220 is provided with a protrusion 223, the other of the outer periphery of the end cap 175 and the hole wall of the through hole 221 is provided with a locking groove 175b, and the end cap 175 penetrates through the through hole 221 and is fixedly connected to the base 220 through the engagement of the protrusion 223 and the locking groove 175 b. The engagement structure between the protrusion 223 and the engaging groove 175b can simplify the assembly of the end cap 175 and the seat 220, and form a reliable connection structure.

Further, referring to fig. 20, 21 and 22, the mounting bracket 160 includes a collar 167, the collar 167 is disposed around the outer circumference of the boss 161, and the collar 167 is provided with a protrusion 168 on a side away from the groove 162, and the protrusion 168 is used for supporting the end cap 175 during the rotation of the end cap 175.

The collar 167 may be made of a material with wear resistance and relatively high strength, such as stainless steel or ceramic, so as to effectively support the end cap 175 and facilitate the light and thin design of the mobile terminal 10. Of course, the collar 167 may be integrally formed with the boss 161.

Further, referring to fig. 23 in combination with fig. 19, the transmission mechanism 170 includes a baffle 177, and the baffle 177 is disposed on a side of the end cover 175 away from the second gear 173 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 180. For example, the end cap 175 may be welded to the output end of the motor 180, or may be fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 180 by a screw connection or the like. The baffle 177 is substantially in a circular block shape, the end cap 175 may be provided with a sink structure on a side away from the second gear 173, and the baffle 177 is disposed in the sink structure, so that the baffle 177 does not protrude from the side of the end cap 175 away from the second gear 173. This configuration reduces the thickness of the assembled mounting bracket 160 and the end cap 175, thereby facilitating a slim design of the mobile terminal 10. The baffle 177 is disposed to prevent play in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 during rotation of the end cap 175, and further prevent play in the thickness direction of the mobile terminal 10 of the mounting base 200, thereby improving the stability of rotation of the mounting base 200. Further, in some embodiments, the thickness of the end cap 175, the mounting bracket 160, and the motor 180 is less than or equal to the thickness of the mounting base 200 after the end cap 175, the mounting bracket 160, and the motor 180 are assembled into an assembly, which facilitates the assembly of the end cap 175, the mounting base 200, the motor 180, and the mounting base 200.
