In one embodiment, the display screen 30 is a touch display screen 30 , and the user operates the information displayed on the display screen 30 through touch operation. The diagonal length of the display screen 30 is 4 inches to 8 inches. Further, the ratio of the display area of the display screen 30 to the area of the second surface 102 of the body 10 is not less than 85%. If the ratio of the area of the display screen 30 to the area of the second surface 102 of the body 10 is large, it is intuitively shown that the distance between each edge of the display screen 30 and the side peripheral surface 103 of the body 10 is small, so that the display screen 30 almost covers the All areas on one side of the first surface 101 of the body 10 .

The function module 50 is used to provide at least one function, and the at least one function can be distinguished from the display function of the display screen 30 . In one embodiment, the functional module 50 is a camera module, including a camera 51, which provides functions such as video calls and photography for the mobile terminal through the camera 51's camera and camera functions. It can be understood that the functional module 50 may also include photosensors, receivers and other functional devices that assist the shooting function of the camera 51 or are independent of the shooting function of the camera 51 .

As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the functional module 50 includes a rotating shaft 52, which forms a rotational connection with the body 10 through the rotating shaft 52, and the functional module 50 can be rotatably installed in the receiving groove 106, and can be automatically The function module 50 is rotated in the receiving groove 106 by driving or manually driving. Wherein the rotation angle range of the functional module 50 is not less than 180 degrees. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , the functional modules 50 are all accommodated in the housing groove 106, and part of the outer peripheral surface of the functional module 50 is tightly bonded to the side peripheral surface 103 of the main body 10, so that the functional module 50 This part of the peripheral surface fills up the receiving groove 106 on the body 10 to be flush with the side peripheral surface 103 of the body 10 . Assuming that the rotation angle of the functional modules 50 is 0 degrees when all the functional modules 50 are in the receiving groove 106, then FIG. Part of the structure of the functional module 50 is exposed in the receiving groove 106; FIG. 4 shows the state of the functional module 50 when the rotation angle is 180 degrees.

The rotation of the functional module 50 can make the functional module 50 have different positions in the rotation plane. Taking the position shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 as the first position for example, in the first position, the camera 51 of the functional module 50 is located within the orthographic projection area of the display screen 30 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50, At this time, the camera 51 cannot realize the shooting function because it is blocked. The rotation plane of the functional module 50 is parallel to the plane defined by the XZ axis in the XYZ axis coordinates in FIG. 1 . When the second surface 102 of the body 10 is flat or mostly flat, the second surface 102 can be considered to be parallel to the rotation plane of the functional module 50 . When the display screen 30 is a plane, the plane where the display screen 30 is located is also parallel to the rotation plane of the functional module 50 . The optical axis of the camera 51 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the functional module 50 .

It can be understood that the above-mentioned first and second positions are only for exemplary illustration. The functional module 50 may have different positions. In actual application, the different positions of the functional module 50 may also be other positions, such as the positions shown in FIG. 3 . No matter where the camera 51 is, it does not affect the display of the display screen 30 , and there is no need to share the area with the display screen 30 on the first surface 101 , so that the area of the display screen 30 can be made as large as possible to increase the screen-to-body ratio.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the circumscribed circle of the orthographic projection of the functional module 50 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50 takes the rotation axis 52 of the functional module 50 as the center. This means that the functional module 50 can rotate around the rotation axis 52 at any angle, even exceeding 360 degrees. The rotation angle of the functional module 50 is not limited. Compared with the restricted design, it can prevent the physical damage of the functional module 50 due to improper use by the user, prolong the service life, and improve the user experience at the same time.

In order to enable the functional module 50 to rotate at any angle, the orthographic projection of the accommodating groove 106 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50 at least includes a region in the shape of a superior arc.

The distance between the receiving groove 106 and the first surface 101 and the distance between the receiving groove 106 and the second surface 102 may be equal or unequal. In another embodiment, the receiving groove 106 may also communicate with the second surface 102 , in other words, the functional module 50 rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 106 is exposed on the side of the second surface 102 .

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time, in an embodiment, the orthographic projection of the functional module 50 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50 is a superior arc. That is to say, the outline of the functional module 50 exactly matches the shape of the area in the receiving groove 106 for placing the functional module 50 . The functional module 50 includes a first peripheral surface 501 and a second peripheral surface 502, wherein the orthographic projection of the first peripheral surface 501 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50 corresponds to the chord of the superior arc bow, and the second peripheral surface The orthographic projection of 502 on the rotation plane of the functional module 50 corresponds to the arc of the superior arc. The shape of the first outer peripheral surface 501 matches the shape of the side peripheral surface 103 of the main body 10 and when the functional module 50 is in the first position, the first outer peripheral surface 501 and the side of the main body 10 The peripheral surface 103 is even. Therefore, when in the first position, the functional module 50 and the main body 10 form a unified whole in appearance, so as to improve the aesthetic appearance of the mobile terminal.

When the functional module 50 is at the second position, the second peripheral surface 502 is at least partially exposed from the receiving groove 106 . The second outer peripheral surface 502 has an irregular geometric shape, and the specific shape of the second outer peripheral surface 502 can be customized according to requirements. For example, the second outer peripheral surface 502 can be designed as the profile of a person's head, can also be designed as various cartoon images, such as the images of animals such as mice and rabbits, and can also be designed as the shapes of plants such as petals, so as to meet the preferences of different groups of people. .

The functional module 50 includes a housing. In one embodiment, the housing includes a front cover 53 and a rear cover 54 combined with each other.

The housing is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 106 via the rotating shaft 52 . The camera 51 is located between the front cover 53 and the rear cover 54 . The front cover 53 is close to the first surface 101 of the main body 10 , and the rear cover 54 is close to the second surface 102 of the main body 10 . The edge of the front cover 53 may form a folded edge extending toward the rear cover 54 , and the rear cover 54 is combined with the folded edge to form a space for placing the camera 51 . The edge of the rear cover 54 can also form a flange extending toward the front cover 53, and the front cover 53 is combined with the flange, or the flanges of the front cover 53 and the rear cover 54 are connected to each other.

When the functional module 50 is located at the second position, the camera 51 can cooperate with the display screen 30 to implement functions such as video calling or Selfie of the mobile terminal. When there are two or more cameras 51, all of the cameras 51 can collect light on one side of the front cover 53, or a part of the cameras 51 can collect light on one side of the front cover 53, and the other part of the cameras 51 can collect light on the rear cover. One side of the plate 54 is lighted. A corresponding light-transmitting area may also be provided on the rear cover 54 for the corresponding camera 51 to collect light.

Negative impact on the appearance and visual experience of the mobile terminal. At the same time, the driving member 70 does not follow the function module 50 to rotate out of the receiving slot 106 , which can also save energy required for the function module 50 to rotate. And adopt the form of gear meshing to form the transmission, can shorten the transmission path between the driving part 70 and the functional module 50, control the space required for the driving part 70 and the functional module 50 to rotate as much as possible, and avoid contact with the body 10 of the mobile terminal. Interference with other components affects the placement of other components.

Referring to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 at the same time, the functional module 50 also includes a first gear 521 fixed on the rotating shaft 52, and the first gear 521 is used to communicate with the driving member 70 fits. The driving member 70 includes a motor 71, a second gear 72 and an intermediate gear 73, the second gear 72 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 71, and the intermediate gear 73 is meshedly connected between the first gear 521 and the second gear 521. between gears 72. The rotating shaft of the intermediate gear 73 can be arranged on a corresponding structure of the body 10 . The motor 71 is fixed in the body 10 , and through the operation of the motor 71 , the second gear 72 sequentially drives the intermediate gear 73 and the first gear 521 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the functional module 50 .

The rotating shaft 52 of the functional module 50, the output shaft 710 of the motor 71, and the rotating shaft of the intermediate gear 73 are all perpendicular to the display screen 30, so that the functional module 50 can be rotated by parallel axial gear transmission. This setting has the advantages of simple structure and high transmission efficiency.

As shown in FIG. 10 , the first gear 521 , the second gear 72 and the intermediate gear 73 are all located on the same plane P. As shown in FIG. By arranging the first gear 521, the second gear 72 and the intermediate gear 73 on the same plane P, the size of the gears in the axial direction can be reduced, so that the overall thickness occupied by the functional module 50 and the driving member 70 is small, avoiding increasing The volume of the large mobile terminal. The plane P is parallel to the second surface 102 . Further, both the motor 71 and the camera 51 are located on the same side of the plane P. Furthermore, the thickness occupied by the functional module 50 on the one side of the plane P is the same as the thickness occupied by the driving member 70 on the one side of the plane P.

This means that the functional module 50 and the driver 70 are set as far as possible in the rotation plane, and the functional module 50 and the driver 70 can be arranged in the same plane by staggering the function module 50 and the driver 70 in the rotation plane. Without affecting the respective rotations, that is, the rotation function is realized without increasing the thickness occupied by the functional module 50 and the driving member 70 .

Further, the diameter of the intermediate gear 73 is greater than the sum of the diameters of the first gear 521 and the second gear 72 . By increasing the area of the intermediate gear 73, the second gear 72 on the motor 71 can be reduced, so that the area of the circumscribed circle of the projection of the drive member 70 and the functional module 50 on the rotation plane is reduced, that is to say, when the rotation The area occupied in the plane is reduced. In addition, the projection of the intermediate gear 73 is placed in the circumscribed circle of the first gear 521 and the second gear 72 , and the above arrangement can also reduce the area occupied by the driving member 70 and the functional module 50 in the rotation plane. In this way, interference with other components in the body 10 can be avoided without occupying the space required by other components, which is more conducive to the overall design and manufacturing of the mobile terminal.

When the number of the optical signal transmitter 56 and the optical signal receiver 81 is single, or there are two but in a regular symmetrical distribution state, after the functional module 50 rotates by a certain angle and deviates from the second position, the optical signal transmitter 56 and the optical signal receiver 81 The receivers 81 are misplaced, and the optical path between the optical signal transmitter 56 and the optical signal receiver 81 is disconnected.
