Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the side key structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. A mobile terminal 1000 includes:

[0031] A middle frame 100, on which a side key slot 101 is provided;

[0032] A sensing member 300, wherein the sensing member 300 is disposed in the middle frame 100 near the side key slot 101;

[0033] A side key structure 200 , wherein a supporting structure 201 is disposed on a side of the side key structure close to the sensing element 300 , and the supporting structure 201 is disposed between the sensing element 300 and the side key slot 101 ;

[0034] The lateral width of the supporting structure 201 is greater than the lateral width of the side key slot 101 , so that the supporting structure 201 is supported against the side surface of the side key slot 101 close to the sensing element 300 .

[0035] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the side key structure 200 is installed on the side key slot 101 by providing a supporting structure 201 on one side of the side key structure 200 close to the sensing element 300, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The lateral width of the limiting abutment structure 201 is greater than the lateral width of the side key slot 101 , so that the side key structure 200 installed on the side key slot 101 is limited by the lateral width of the abutment structure 201 to abut on the side of the side key slot 101 close to the sensing element 300 .

[0036] Specifically, the sensing element 300 is used to be electrically connected to a circuit board disposed in the mobile terminal, so that when the user presses the side key structure 200, the sensing element 300 generates an electrical signal after receiving the pressure sensing and transmits it to the circuit board, so that the circuit board generates different control signals according to different pressing positions of the user, thereby controlling the mobile terminal.

[0037] Based on this, the mobile terminal provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a middle frame, on which a side key slot is provided; a sensing member, which is provided in the middle frame near the side key slot; a side key structure, on which a supporting structure is provided on a side of the side key structure near the sensing member, and the supporting structure is provided between the sensing member and the side key slot; wherein the lateral width of the supporting structure is greater than the lateral width of the side key slot, so that the supporting structure is supported against the side of the side key slot near the sensing member. In this way, by setting the lateral width of the supporting structure to be greater than the lateral width of the side key slot, so that the supporting structure is supported against the side of the side key slot near the sensing member, the side key structure can be quickly installed and disassembled, and the internal space occupancy rate of the mobile terminal can be reduced.

[0038] In some embodiments, the side key structure 200 includes a contact substructure 202 and a base substructure 203, the contact substructure 202 is provided with a first insertion slot 2021 arranged at an interval, and the base substructure 203 is provided with a first insertion block 2031 relative to the first insertion slot 2021, so that the first insertion block 2031 can be inserted into the first insertion slot 2021 to be connected with the contact substructure 202.

[0039] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Exploded diagram of the side key structure provided in the embodiment of the present application. The side key structure 200 is composed of a contact substructure 202 and a base substructure 203, wherein the contact substructure 202 is provided with first insertion slots 2021 spaced apart from each other, and the base substructure 203 is provided with a first insertion block 2031 relative to the first insertion slot 2021, so that the base substructure 203 is inserted into the first insertion slot 2021 on the contact substructure 202 through the first insertion block 2031 thereon, and the side key structure 200 is formed after the insertion.

[0040] In some embodiments, a second insertion block 2022 is provided on the contact substructure 202, and the second insertion block 2022 is located between the first insertion slots 2021. A second insertion slot 2032 is provided on the base substructure 203 relative to the second insertion block 2022 so that the second insertion block 2022 can be inserted into the second insertion slot 2032.

[0041] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, in order to firmly connect the contact substructure 202 and the base substructure 203, a second insertion block 2022 can be provided on the contact substructure 202 originally provided with the first insertion slot 2021, and the second insertion block 2022 is provided between adjacent first insertion slots 2021, and a second insertion slot 2032 is correspondingly provided on the base substructure 203 at a position relative to the second insertion block 2022. The contact substructure 202 and the base substructure 203 are firmly connected by mutual insertion, and the mutual insertion is that the first insertion block 2031 of the base substructure 203 is inserted into the first insertion slot 2021 of the contact substructure 202, and the second insertion block 2022 of the contact substructure 202 is inserted into the second insertion slot 2032 of the base substructure 203.

[0042] In some embodiments, a fixing structure 20311 is disposed at one end of the first insertion block 2031 away from the second insertion slot 2032 , an opening 20211 is disposed at one end of the first insertion slot 2021 away from the second insertion block 2022 , and the fixing structure 20311 extends out of the opening 20211 .

[0043] Among them, an opening 20211 is provided at one end of the first insertion slot 2021 away from the second insertion block 2022, so that when the first insertion block 2031 is inserted into the first insertion slot 2021, the fixed structure 20311 provided at one end of the first insertion block 2031 away from the second insertion slot 2032 can extend out of the opening 20211, so that the fixed structure 20311 is clamped on the side wall of the opening 20211, thereby strengthening the connection between the contact substructure 202 and the base substructure 203.

[0044] In some embodiments, a contact 2023 is disposed on a side of the contact substructure 202 close to the sensing element 300 , and the contact 2023 is connected to the sensing element 300 .

[0045] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, a contact 2023 is provided on one side of the contact substructure 202 close to the sensing element 300. The contact 2023 is used when the user presses the side key structure 200, and the contact 2023 extends into the interior of the mobile terminal along with the side key structure 200. Since the contact 2023 is connected to the sensing element 300, the sensing element 300 can sense the pressure exerted by the user on the contact 2023 during the process of the contact 2023 extending into the interior of the mobile terminal along with the side key structure 200. Therefore, the sensing element 300 generates an electrical signal after receiving the pressure induction and transmits it to the circuit board, so that the circuit board generates different control signals according to different pressing positions of the user, thereby controlling the mobile terminal.

[0046] In some embodiments, the contact point 2023 is a protruding groove of the first insertion groove 2021.

[0047] The design style of the first insertion groove 2021 may be a protruding groove with a certain protrusion, so that a portion of the protruding groove serves as a contact point 2023 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the first insertion block 2031 is provided with a protruding block relative to the protruding groove, so that the protruding block is disposed in the protruding groove.

[0049] Among them, since the side key structure 200 is composed of a contact substructure 202 and a base substructure 203, if the protruding groove on the contact substructure 202 is to be used as a contact, it is necessary to set a protruding block at the position of the first insertion block 2031 of the base substructure 203 relative to the protruding groove, so that when the user presses the base substructure 203, the protruding block of the base substructure 203 drives the protruding groove of the contact substructure 202 to press the sensing part 300.

[0050] In some embodiments, the abutting structure 201 and the contact substructure 202 are integrally formed.

[0051] The abutting structure 201 is integrally formed with the contact substructure 202. The abutting structure 201 and the contact substructure 202 may also be connected by mechanical connection, which is not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the supporting structure 201 is made of silicone.

[0053] Among them, taking into account the convenience of installation and financial issues, the supporting structure 201 can be composed of silicone. Since the supporting structure 201 is composed of silicone, when the side key structure 200 is installed in the side key groove 101, it can be directly installed by pressing it. Since the lateral width of the supporting structure 201 is greater than the lateral width of the side key groove 101, when pressing it, the supporting structure 201 can be deformed first due to the deformation characteristics of silicone until the side key structure 200 is pressed into the side key groove 101, and the supporting structure 201 returns to its original shape.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the supporting structure 201 is any one of a straight line, a cross, a circle, and an ellipse.

[0055] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the interface shape of the supporting structure 201 is a cross, but is not limited to a cross. As long as the lateral width of the supporting structure 201 is greater than the lateral width of the side key slot 101, it can be a straight line, circular or elliptical shape, which is not limited here.

[0056] Based on this, the mobile terminal provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a middle frame, on which a side key slot is provided; a sensing member, which is provided in the middle frame near the side key slot; a side key structure, on which a supporting structure is provided on a side of the side key structure near the sensing member, and the supporting structure is provided between the sensing member and the side key slot; wherein the lateral width of the supporting structure is greater than the lateral width of the side key slot, so that the supporting structure is supported against the side of the side key slot near the sensing member. In this way, by setting the lateral width of the supporting structure to be greater than the lateral width of the side key slot, so that the supporting structure is supported against the side of the side key slot near the sensing member, the side key structure can be quickly installed and disassembled, and the internal space occupancy rate of the mobile terminal can be reduced.
