[0029] The present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific implementation manners shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these implementation manners do not limit the present disclosure, and any structural, method, or functional transformation made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these implementation manners is included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0030] The terms used in the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The singular forms "a", "the", and "said" used in the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] The following will describe in detail some implementation manners of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the driving device 30 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is assembled in the terminal main body 1 of the mobile terminal 100 and is used to control the functional component 20 in the terminal main body 1 to protrude from the side of the terminal main body 1 or be received in the terminal main body 1. Specifically, the driving device 30 includes a driving member 31, a transmission mechanism 32, and a clutch assembly 34 cooperating between the driving member 31 and the transmission mechanism 32, and the transmission mechanism 32 is connected to the functional component 20 in the terminal main body 1. Among them, under the operation of the driving member 31, the clutch assembly 34 cooperates with the transmission mechanism 32 to enable the transmission mechanism 32 to drive the functional component 20 to protrude from the terminal main body 1, or to enable the transmission mechanism 32 to drive the functional component 20 to be received in the terminal main body 1.

[0033] That is to say, the functional component 20 of the present disclosure can be controllably moved in the middle frame housing 11. When the functional component 20 is not needed, through the cooperation of the driving member 31, the clutch assembly 34, and the transmission mechanism 32, the functional component 20 is controlled to be received in the terminal main body 1, that is, the functional component 20 is hidden in the terminal main body 1. When the functional component 20 needs to be used, through the cooperation of the driving member 31, the clutch assembly 34, and the transmission mechanism 32, the functional component 20 is controlled to protrude from the terminal main body 1 for the user to use. The functional component 20 of the present disclosure is a front camera module. Changing the traditional camera 21 disposed on the front of the display screen to be controllably moved in and out from the side of the terminal main body 1 can meet the requirement of a high screen-to-body ratio, and thus can further realize the design of a full-screen.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the driving member 31 of the present disclosure includes a motor and a driving wheel 312 connected to the motor, and the motor is preferably a stepping motor. The clutch assembly 34 includes a first gear 341 and a second gear 342 respectively meshed with the driving wheel 312, and the transmission mechanism 32 includes a lead screw 321 and a lead screw gear 323 fixed to one end of the lead screw 321. Among them, the first gear 341 meshes with the lead screw gear 323 in the first rotation direction of the driving wheel 312 and drives the transmission mechanism 32 to drive the functional component 20 to protrude out of the terminal body 1; the second gear 342 meshes with the lead screw gear 323 in the second rotation direction of the driving wheel 312 and drives the transmission mechanism 32 to drive the functional component 20 to be accommodated in the terminal body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clutch assembly 34 also includes a clutch body 343, which is connected to the end of the motor, and the first gear 341 and the second gear 342 are connected to the clutch body 343 and can rotate around the central axis of their respective gears. The clutch body 343 can rotate relative to the motor and can be driven by the motor to rotate so that the first gear 341 or the second gear 342 is engaged with the lead screw gear 323 or disengaged from the lead screw gear 323. Among them, the clutch body 343 is a plate structure, which is used to support the first gear 341 and the second gear 342, and can also be used to protect the driving wheel 312, the first gear 341 and the second gear 342.

[0036] Further, when the functional component 20 protrudes out of the terminal body 1, the functional component 20 is driven to be removed from the terminal body 1. The motor drives the driving wheel 312 to rotate along the second rotation direction, and rotates in the opposite direction relative to the first rotation direction, so that the first gear 341 and the second gear 342 are both separated from the lead screw gear 323. At this time, the lead screw 321 is in an unrestrained state, and the functional component 20 can be manually retracted into the terminal body 1 under the action of external force. Even if the mobile terminal 100 falls off and causes the functional component 20 to be hit, the functional component 20 will overcome its own weight and its own friction resistance and be pressed back into the terminal body 1, thereby preventing the functional component 20 from being broken, and improving the reliability of the product. In addition, when the functional component 20 is accommodated in the terminal body 1, the second gear 342 and the lead screw gear 323 remain in a meshing state, so that the lead screw 321 can be in a locked state, thereby locking the functional component 20 in the terminal body 1.

[0037] The transmission mechanism 32 further includes a connecting member 33 connected to the lead screw 321. The connecting member 33 includes a sliding seat 331, and the sliding seat 331 includes a first connecting portion connected to the lead screw 321. Among them, a thread cooperating with the lead screw 321 is provided in the first connecting portion, so that the connecting member 33 can be driven to move axially along the lead screw 321. Specifically, by controlling the rotation direction of the driving member 31, the clutch assembly 34 is selectively engaged with the lead screw gear 323, thereby driving the lead screw 321 to rotate. Then, by the rotation of the lead screw 321, the connecting member 33 moves axially along the lead screw 321, thereby controlling the functional component 20 to protrude from the terminal body 1 or be received in the terminal body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 32 further includes a guide rail 322 arranged in parallel with the lead screw 321. The sliding seat 331 further includes a second connecting portion slidably connected to the guide rail 322. The second connecting portion is sleeved on or partially sleeved on the guide rail 322 and can slide along the guide rail 322. The connecting member 33 further includes a connecting arm 332 extending outward from the second connecting portion. The connecting arm 332 is connected to the functional component 20, specifically to the end face of the functional component 20 away from the notch of the receiving groove 12. Among them, the connecting arm 332 extends toward the top end close to the terminal body 1 relative to the second connecting portion, so that the connecting arm 332 can ensure that the functional component 20 is integrally pushed out of the receiving groove 12. In this embodiment, by the cooperation of the lead screw 321 and the connecting member 33, the lead screw 321 provides operating power for the connecting member 33, and through the sliding of the second connecting portion and the guide rail 322, the stability of the connection between the connecting member 33 and the transmission mechanism 32 can be increased, and the stability of the sliding of the connecting member 33 can also be increased.

[0039] The driving device 30 of the present disclosure further includes a U-shaped base 324. The lead screw 321 and the guide rail 322 are connected to the two side walls of the U-shaped base 324, and the connecting member 33 is located inside the U-shaped base 324. Among them, the driving wheel 312, the first gear 341, the second gear 342, and the lead screw gear 323 are all located outside the same side wall of the U-shaped base 324. In this embodiment, the driving wheel 312, the first gear 341, and the second gear 342 are located between the clutch main body 343 and the side wall of the U-shaped base 324.

[0040] In one embodiment, the motor is disposed within the base and arranged side by side with the lead screw 321. The driving wheel 312, the first gear 341, the second gear 342, and the lead screw gear 323 are disposed at the same end of the driving member 31 and the lead screw 321. Such an arrangement makes the layout within the terminal body 1 more reasonable and the utilization rate of the control circuit board 13 within the terminal body 1 higher. In another embodiment, the driving member 31 is disposed in the extending direction of the lead screw 321, that is, the driving member 31 is disposed opposite to the base. The driving wheel 312, the first gear 341, the second gear 342, and the lead screw gear 323 are disposed between the driving member 31 and the lead screw 321.

[0041] In the driving device of the present disclosure, a clutch assembly is disposed between the driving member and the transmission mechanism. The clutch assembly can satisfy the transmission connection between the driving member and the transmission mechanism, and can move the functional component out of the side of the terminal body for the user to use or accommodate the functional component within the terminal body, so that the functional component does not occupy the space of the display screen in the display module, thereby achieving a full-screen display effect.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the mobile terminal of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a terminal body 1, a functional component 20, and a driving device 30 as described in each of the above embodiments. Among them, the driving device 30 includes a driving member 31, a transmission mechanism 32, and a clutch assembly 34 disposed between the driving member 31 and the transmission mechanism 32. The transmission mechanism 32 is connected to the functional component 20 within the terminal body 1. Among them, under the operation of the driving member 31, the clutch assembly 34 cooperates with the transmission mechanism 32 to drive the functional component 20 to protrude out of the terminal body 1 or to drive the functional component 20 to be accommodated within the terminal body 1.

[0043] The functional component 20 of the present disclosure includes a camera module. The camera module includes a module body 22, at least one camera 21 disposed on the module body 22, and a flexible circuit board 23 extending from the module body 22. The flexible circuit board 23 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 13 within the middle frame housing 11 to enable the camera 21 to be communicatively connected to the control circuit board 13. Among them, the flexible circuit board 23 has a certain movable length to satisfy the movement of the functional component 20. In this embodiment, two cameras 21 are disposed on the module body 22 to enhance the shooting effect. In addition, sensors and / or photosensitive elements, etc. may also be disposed on the module body 22.

[0044] In yet another embodiment, the functional component 20 may further include a card tray mechanism for assembling a SIM card (Subscriber Identification Module) or a memory card, etc. The card tray of the card tray mechanism cooperates with the driving device 30 of the present disclosure, so that the card tray can be intelligently controlled to pop out from the side of the terminal body or automatically retract. The specific structural features of the driving device 30 are as shown in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated herein.

[0045] Among them, in the present disclosure, the functional component 20 is introduced specifically by taking the camera module as an example. The camera module pops out from the side of the terminal body 1, and is hidden inside the terminal body 1 in the non-working state, which will not affect the appearance of the mobile terminal 100, completely avoids and does not occupy the space of the display screen in the display module, so as to achieve the display effect of a full screen.

[0046] The terminal body 1 includes a middle frame housing 11. A receiving groove 12 adapted to the functional component 20 is provided at the top of the middle frame housing 11. The functional component 20 is movably received in the receiving groove 12, and the position of the receiving groove 12 can correspond to any position on the top edge of the middle frame housing 11. Of course, the receiving groove 12 is not limited to being provided at the top of the middle frame housing 11, and can also be provided on the other side close to the middle frame housing 11, that is, the functional component 20 can also be moved out from both side surfaces of the middle frame housing 11 or from the bottom end of the middle frame housing 11. According to the user's usage habit, the present disclosure preferably moves out from the top end of the middle frame housing 11.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the camera module 20 is received in the receiving groove 12, the upper surface of the camera module 20 is flush with the top end surface of the middle frame housing 11. In this way, when the functional component 20 is received in the receiving groove 12, the upper surface of the functional component 20 constitutes a part of the middle frame housing 11, thus not affecting the appearance of the mobile terminal 100.

[0048] The middle frame housing 11 of the present disclosure may include a frame and a bottom shell. The bottom shell can be integrally formed with the frame or assembled to the frame in a detachable manner. The notch of the receiving groove 12 is provided on the frame. The functional component 20 can be moved out from inside the frame or be flush with the frame after being retracted. A control circuit board 13 is provided inside the middle frame housing 11. The functional component 20 and the driving device 30 are respectively communicatively connected to the control circuit board 13. A processor (not shown) and a plurality of functional devices, etc. are provided on the control circuit board 13. Among them, the processor is used to control the driving device 30 according to the received control signal, so as to control the movement of the functional component 20 through the driving device 30. The control signal can be a touch signal of the user touching the camera or video function module on the mobile phone or the associated APP.

[0049] That is to say, the functional component 20 of the present disclosure can be controllably moved within the middle frame housing 11. When the functional component 20 is not needed, the functional component 20 is controlled by the driving device 30 to be received within the middle frame housing 11, that is, the functional component 20 is hidden within the middle frame housing 11. When the functional component 20 needs to be used, the functional component 20 is controlled by the driving device 30 to protrude from the middle frame housing 11 for the user to use the functional component 20 for taking pictures, videos, or recording. The functional component 20 of the present disclosure is a front camera module, and the camera 21 conventionally disposed on the front of the display screen is changed to be controllably moved in and out from the side of the middle frame housing 11, which can meet the requirement of a high screen-to-body ratio, and thus the design of a full-screen can be further realized.

[0050] The mobile terminal 100 further includes a display module 10 assembled on the front of the middle frame housing 11. The display module 10 generally includes a backlight module, a display panel, and a touch panel. Preferably, the display module 10 includes a full-screen, that is, the display module 10 is configured as a full-screen or close to a full-screen. In this embodiment, functional modules such as the camera 21, sensors (one or more of various types of sensors, such as: infrared sensors, light sensors, distance sensors, etc.), and photosensitive elements conventionally disposed on the front of the display screen are no longer disposed on the display module 10, so that the display module 10 can achieve a high screen-to-body ratio or a full-screen for the display screen. Among them, functional modules such as sensors and photosensitive elements can be disposed on the frame of the middle frame housing 11.

[0051] The mobile terminal 100 in the present disclosure can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated as: PDA), etc. In the present disclosure, the mobile terminal 100 is specifically described by taking a mobile phone as an example. Among them, it should be noted that the top end of the middle frame housing 11 is the upper end of the mobile phone when the user habitually holds the mobile phone.

[0052] In an embodiment, the mobile terminal 100 further includes a flash (not shown), and the flash is disposed on the module body 22. When the mobile terminal 100 needs to use the front camera function, the flash can provide light assistance to the camera 21, thereby improving the experience of self-portrait or video call.

[0053] The driving device and the mobile terminal having the same according to the present disclosure can movably arrange a functional component within the terminal body. When the functional component is not needed, the functional component can be completely received within the terminal body, so that the functional component can be hidden within the terminal body. A clutch component is arranged between the driving member and the transmission mechanism according to the present disclosure. The clutch component can satisfy the transmission connection between the driving member and the transmission mechanism, so that the functional component can be moved out from the side of the terminal body for the user to use, or the functional component can be received within the terminal body, so that the functional component is hidden within the terminal body, which will not affect the appearance of the mobile terminal, and can also avoid arranging the functional component on the display module, completely avoiding and not occupying the space of the display screen in the display module, thereby realizing the display effect of a full-screen display.

[0054] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily conceived by those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practice disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure, which follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known common knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed by the present disclosure.
