[0061] Smart terminals such as mobile phones are usually equipped with an earpiece and an external speaker. The earpiece can achieve privacy in calls, and the external speaker can increase the volume of the audio for playback. When the smart terminal in the related art is in a folded state, the positions of the earpiece and the external speaker overlap, and the earpiece is far away from the user's ear, so there is a problem that the content of the call cannot be heard clearly. Using an external speaker will affect the privacy of the call. Therefore, when making a call, the smart terminal needs to be switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, which increases the complexity of the operation.

[0062] In view of this, a smart terminal provided by the present application has a sound outlet hole at a hinge and / or a connection end of at least one main body, and a sound guide channel is connected between the acoustic component and the sound outlet hole. When the smart terminal is in a folded state for a call, the sound can be transmitted to the sound outlet hole through the sound guide channel, so that the sound can be transmitted to a position close to the hinge, which is convenient for answering voice and making calls when the smart terminal is in a folded state. It is very convenient for users who only want to answer calls and do not want to perform too many operations. There is no need to switch the smart terminal from a folded state to an unfolded state, and calls are convenient and labor-saving.

[0063] A smart terminal provided by an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] First embodiment

[0065] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a smart terminal, including a hinge 10 and two main bodies 20, the two main bodies 20 are connected by the hinge 10, the main body 20 includes a connection end 21 connected to the hinge 10, and a free end 22 arranged opposite to the connection end 21, and an acoustic component 30 is arranged in the main body 20, and the acoustic component 30 is configured to output or input sound. The hinge 10 and / or the connection end 21 of at least one main body 20 is provided with a sound outlet hole 11, and at least one main body 20 is also provided with a sound guide channel 23 connected between the acoustic component 30 and the sound outlet hole 11.

[0066] The application provides a smart terminal, by opening a sound outlet 11 at a hinge 10 and / or a connection end 21 of at least one main body 20, and a sound guide channel 23 is connected between the acoustic component 30 and the sound outlet 11, so that when the smart terminal is in a folded state for a call, the sound can be transmitted to the sound outlet 11 through the sound guide channel 23, so that the sound can be transmitted to a position close to the hinge 10, which is convenient for the smart terminal to answer voice and make calls in the folded state. It is very convenient for users who only want to answer the phone and do not want to perform too many operations. There is no need to switch the smart terminal from a folded state to an unfolded state, and the call is convenient and labor-saving.

[0067] The smart terminal provided by the present application may have a sound hole 11 on the hinge 10, or on the connection end 21 of one main body 20, or on the connection ends 21 of two main bodies 20, or on the hinge 10 and on the connection end 21 of at least one main body 20. By providing the sound hole 11 on the hinge 10 and on the connection end 21 of at least one main body 20, the integrity and simplicity of the appearance of the side frame of the smart terminal are ensured.

[0068] The present application provides a smart terminal, which also includes a flexible screen, and the two ends of the flexible screen are respectively covered on the two main body parts 20. The flexible screen, that is, a flexible display screen, is used to display images. Optionally, the flexible screen can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active matrix organic light-emitting diode or an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, a mini organic light-emitting diode (Mini Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (Micro Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode (Micro Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screen, and a quantum dot light-emitting diode (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes, QLED) display screen.

[0069] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two main body parts 20 are respectively a first main body part 201 and a second main body part 202 , and the hinge 10 is connected between the first main body part 201 and the second main body part 202 .

[0070] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a sound outlet hole 11 may be provided at the connection end 21 of the first main body 201, and a sound guide channel 23 connected between the acoustic component 30 and the sound outlet hole 11 may be provided in the first main body 201. A sound outlet hole 11 may also be provided at the connection end 21 of the second main body 202, and a sound guide channel 23 connected between the acoustic component 30 and the sound outlet hole 11 may be provided in the second main body 202. Alternatively, a sound outlet hole 11 may also be provided on the hinge 10.

[0071] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sound hole 11 may be provided on both the connecting end 21 of the first main body 201 and the hinge 10; the sound hole 11 may be provided on both the connecting end 21 of the second main body 202 and the hinge 10; or the sound hole 11 may be provided on both the connecting end 21 of the first main body 201, the connecting end 21 of the second main body 202 and the hinge 10.

[0072] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the acoustic component 30 includes a first sound-generating device 31, which is arranged at the free end 22; the first sound-generating device 31 arranged in one of the two main bodies 20 is an external speaker, and the first sound-generating device 31 arranged in the other main body 20 is an earpiece.

[0073] Optionally, the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of one of the two main bodies 20 is an external speaker, and the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the other main body 20 is a receiver. A speaker, also known as a horn, is an electronic device that has both the function of receiving and emitting sound.

[0074] In a possible implementation, the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the first main body 201 is an external speaker, and the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the second main body 202 is an earpiece. Alternatively, the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the first main body 201 is an earpiece, and the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the second main body 202 is an external speaker.

[0075] When the smart terminal is in the unfolded state, the two main bodies 20 are relatively unfolded in the same plane, and the positions of the first sound-emitting devices 31 of the two main bodies 20 do not overlap each other, that is, the positions of the external speaker and the receiver do not overlap, which is convenient for answering voice and making calls.

[0076] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the smart terminal is in a folded state, the two main bodies 20 are stacked on each other, and the free ends 22 of the two main bodies 20 are stacked on each other, so that the positions of the first sound-emitting devices 31 of the two main bodies 20 overlap, that is, the positions of the external speaker and the earpiece overlap. Since the first sound-emitting device 31 and the sound outlet 11 are connected through the sound guide channel 23, the sound can be guided to a position close to the hinge 10 through the sound guide channel 23, which solves the problem of inconvenience in calling caused by the overlapping positions of the external speaker and the earpiece, and facilitates answering voice and making calls when the smart terminal is in a folded state.

[0077] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 6 As shown, an intelligent terminal provided by an embodiment of the present application further includes a connecting piece 70, the main body 20 includes a shell 24, the connecting piece 70 is connected to the inner wall of the shell 24, and a sound guide channel 23 is constructed between part of the inner wall of the shell 24 and the connecting piece 70.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the connecting sheet 70 may be a polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) film, and the connecting sheet 70 may be connected to the inner wall of the shell 24 by gluing, and a sound guide channel 23 is formed between part of the inner wall of the shell 24 and the connecting sheet 70.

[0079] Optionally, the inner wall of the shell 24 can be formed into a groove 241 by injection molding or machining. The groove 241 can be U-shaped, L-shaped, straight or curved. By connecting the connecting piece 70 to the inner wall of the shell 24, the sound guide channel 23 is sealed all around, so that the sound is conducted along the sound guide channel 23, thereby improving the privacy of the call sound.

[0080] In one possible implementation, the connecting piece 70 may be connected to the gap between the shell 24 and the flexible screen, or may be connected to other positions in the shell 24, such as a side of the shell 24 facing the battery compartment.

[0081] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, a pipe is provided in the main body 20, and the inner cavity of the pipe is configured as a sound guide channel 23. By providing a pipe to transmit sound, the sealing performance of the sound guide channel 23 is ensured, which is conducive to achieving a better sound transmission effect.

[0082] In a possible implementation, the pipe may be a hose, which can be flexibly bent to facilitate bending the pipe into a suitable winding shape, so as to make full use of the space in the main body 20 to arrange the pipe. Both ends of the pipe are horn-shaped, which is conducive to better guiding the sound.

[0083] In a possible implementation, a sound guide channel 23 is configured between a portion of the inner wall of the shell 24 and the connecting piece 70, and a pipe is provided in the main body 20, and the inner cavity of the pipe is configured as the sound guide channel 23. Optionally, the sound guide channel 23 provided in the main body 20 and connected between the acoustic component 30 and the sound outlet 11, a portion of the sound guide channel 23 is located between a portion of the inner wall of the shell 24 and the connecting piece 70, and the rest of the sound guide channel 23 is formed by the pipe provided in the main body 20.

[0084] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a slide groove 25 is further provided in the main body 20 , the slide groove 25 and the sound guide channel 23 are interconnected, and an angle is formed between the extension direction of the slide groove 25 and the extension direction of the sound guide channel 23 .

[0085] An intelligent terminal provided in an embodiment of the present application further includes a switch assembly 40, which includes a movable magnet 41 slidably disposed in a slide groove 25, and the movable magnet 41 is configured to have a closed state blocking the sound guide channel 23, and an open state avoiding the sound guide channel 23.

[0086] By setting the switch assembly 40, when the sound guide channel 23 is needed to transmit sound, the sound guide channel 23 can be opened. When the sound guide channel 23 is not needed to transmit sound, the sound guide channel 23 can be closed to prevent the sound from being transmitted through the sound guide channel 23, thereby preventing the sound from being diverged and attenuated, thereby ensuring the volume of the external speaker and the earpiece.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the angle between the extension direction of the slide groove 25 and the extension direction of the sound guide channel 23 is 60° to 120°. Optionally, the angle is 60°, 90° or 120°, and optionally, the angle can also be 80° or 100°, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0088] In one possible implementation, the switch assembly 40 also includes a first magnetic member 42 and a second magnetic member 43, including at least one of the following: the first magnetic member 42 is disposed in the sound guide channel 23 of one of the two main body parts 20, and the second magnetic member 43 is disposed in the other of the two main body parts 20, and the first magnetic member 42 and the second magnetic member 43 are both configured to be magnetically attracted to the movable magnet 41; when the smart terminal is in a folded state, the first magnetic member 42 and the second magnetic member 43 are both facing the slide groove 25.

[0089] When the smart terminal is in the unfolded state, the two main bodies 20 are relatively unfolded in the same plane, and the positions of the second magnetic component 43 and the movable magnet 41 are no longer relative. At this time, due to the large distance between the second magnetic component 43 and the movable magnet 41, the second magnetic component 43 and the movable magnet 41 are no longer magnetically attracted to each other. The movable magnet 41 slides in the slide groove 25 until it is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic component 42, so that the movable magnet 41 blocks the sound guide channel 23, thereby hindering the conduction of sound in the sound guide channel 23.

[0090] When the smart terminal is in a folded state, the two main bodies 20 are stacked on each other, and the second magnetic part 43 is located on the side of the slide groove 25 relative to the first magnetic part 42. Under the action of the magnetic force between the second magnetic part 43 and the movable magnet 41, the movable magnet 41 is separated from the first magnetic part 42, and the movable magnet 41 moves along the slide groove 25 to be magnetically attracted to the second magnetic part 43. The sound guide channel 23 is no longer completely blocked by the movable magnet 41, so that the sound guide channel 23 can conduct sound.

[0091] In a possible implementation, a sealing gasket is provided on the periphery of the moving magnet 41. When the moving magnet 41 is in magnetic attraction with the first magnetic member 42, the sealing gasket seals the space between the moving magnet 41 and the inner wall of the sound guide channel 23, preventing the sound from being transmitted through the sound guide channel 23, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sound guide channel 23 and ensuring the stability of the closing of the sound guide channel 23.

[0092] In a possible implementation, a lubricant is applied between the moving magnet 41 and the inner wall of the slide slot 25, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the moving magnet 41 in the slide slot 25, and the smooth opening or closing of the sound guide channel 23. The lubricant can be lubricating oil or grease, etc., to reduce the friction resistance between the moving magnet 41 and the inner wall of the slide slot 25, which helps to reduce the problem of wear between the moving magnet 41 and the inner wall of the slide slot 25.

[0093] In one possible implementation, the first magnetic member 42 may be a magnet or an electromagnet, the second magnetic member 43 may be a magnet or an electromagnet, and the movable magnet 41 may be a magnet or an electromagnet, so as to achieve more precise control.

[0094] In one possible implementation, reference Fig.13 As shown, the smart terminal also includes a control unit 50 and an angle detection member 60. The control unit 50 is electrically connected to the angle detection member 60. The angle detection member 60 is used to detect the angle between the two main parts 20. Optionally, the first magnetic member 42 can be an electromagnet. The control unit 50 is used to control the change of the current direction passing through the first magnetic member 42 when the angle between the two main parts 20 is greater than or equal to a preset value.

[0095] Optionally, applying the principle of electromagnetic induction, the first magnetic part 42 includes an iron core and a conductive winding wound on the outside of the iron core and matching its power. The iron core can be in a bar shape and will be magnetized by the magnetic field generated when the conductive winding is energized. The magnetized iron core also becomes a magnet. When the current direction of the conductive winding changes, the direction of the magnetic pole induced by the iron core changes, that is, the direction of the magnetic pole of the first magnetic part 42 changes, thereby changing the magnetic force between the first magnetic part 42 and the movable magnet 41.

[0096] refer to Figure 7 As shown, when the smart terminal is in the unfolded state, the first magnetic member 42 generates a magnetic attraction force with the moving magnet 41. The moving magnet 41 slides along the slide groove 25 under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the first magnetic member 42, so that the moving magnet 41 is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 42. The moving magnet 41 blocks the sound guide channel 23, thereby hindering the conduction of sound in the sound guide channel 23.

[0097] refer to Figure 8 As shown, when the smart terminal is in a folded state, the first magnetic member 42 generates a magnetic repulsion force that repels the moving magnet 41. Under the action of the magnetic repulsion force between the second magnetic member 43 and the moving magnet 41, the moving magnet 41 is separated from the first magnetic member 42, and the moving magnet 41 moves along the slide groove 25 to leave the sound guide channel 23. The sound guide channel 23 is no longer completely blocked by the moving magnet 41, so that the sound guide channel 23 can conduct sound.

[0098] In a possible implementation, the angle detection member 60 may be an angle sensor.

[0099] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.13 As shown, when the angle between the two main bodies 20 is set to be less than or equal to the preset angle, the control unit 50 controls the change of the direction of the current passing through the first magnetic member 42. When the angle between the two main bodies 20 is set to be greater than the preset angle, the control unit 50 controls the change of the direction of the current passing through the first magnetic member 42. Optionally, the preset angle may be 30°, 90°, 120°, etc., or other angles, which are not specifically limited here.

[0100] In one possible implementation, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sound guide channel 23 includes a first sound guide channel 231 , and the first sound emitting device 31 and the sound outlet 11 are connected through the first sound guide channel 231 .

[0101] When the smart terminal is in the unfolded state, the two main bodies 20 are relatively unfolded in the same plane, and the positions of the first sound-emitting devices 31 of the two main bodies 20 do not overlap each other, that is, the positions of the external speaker and the receiver do not overlap, which is convenient for answering voice and making calls. When the smart terminal is in the folded state, the two main bodies 20 are stacked on each other, and the free ends 22 of the two main bodies 20 are stacked on each other, so that the positions of the first sound-emitting devices 31 of the two main bodies 20 overlap, that is, the positions of the external speaker and the receiver overlap. Because the first sound-emitting device 31 and the sound outlet 11 are connected through the first sound guide channel 231, the sound can be guided to a position close to the hinge 10 through the first sound guide channel 231, which solves the problem of inconvenience in calling caused by the overlapping positions of the external speaker and the receiver, and facilitates answering voice and making calls when the smart terminal is in the folded state.

[0102] Second embodiment

[0103] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the acoustic component 30 also includes a second sound-emitting device 32 , which is located between the connecting end 21 and the free end 22 , and the sound guide channel 23 includes a second sound guide channel 232 , through which the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet 11 are connected.

[0104] By adding a second sound-emitting device 32 and connecting the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11 through the second sound guide channel 232, sound can be conducted between the sound outlet hole 11 and the second sound-emitting device 32, thereby achieving the effect that the hinge 10 and the position close to the hinge 10 can produce sound.

[0105] Optionally, the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of one of the two main bodies 20 is an external speaker, and the first sound device 31 provided at the free end 22 of the other main body 20 is an earpiece. In this example, there is no need for the first sound device 31 and the sound outlet hole 11 to be connected through the first sound guide channel 231. Instead, the second sound device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11 are connected through the second sound guide channel 232. This can also achieve the goal of transmitting sound to a position close to the hinge 10, making it easier to make calls without unfolding the smart terminal.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the second sound-emitting device 32 disposed in one of the two main bodies 20 is an external speaker, and the second sound-emitting device 32 disposed in the other main body 20 is an earpiece. The second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet 11 are connected via the second sound guide channel 232, so that the hinge 10 and the position near the hinge 10 can realize the earpiece sound output function and ensure the privacy of the call.

[0107] In another possible implementation, reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the second sound-emitting device 32 provided in at least one main body 20 is a microphone, and the microphone and the sound outlet 11 are connected via a second sound guide channel 232, so that the hinge 10 and the position near the hinge 10 can realize the function of picking up sound, which is convenient for making normal calls without unfolding the smart terminal and ensures the privacy of the call.

[0108] In a possible implementation, the second sound-emitting device 32 disposed between the connection end 21 and the free end 22 of the first main body 201 may be an external speaker, and a sound outlet hole 11 is provided on the hinge 10 or the connection end 21 of the first main body 201, and the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11 are connected through the second sound guide channel 232. Alternatively, the second sound-emitting device 32 disposed between the connection end 21 and the free end 22 of the second main body 202 may be a receiver, and a sound outlet hole 11 is provided on the hinge 10 or the connection end 21 of the second main body 202, and the second sound guide channel 232 is connected to the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11.

[0109] In one possible implementation, the second sound-emitting device 32 disposed between the connection end 21 and the free end 22 of the first main body 201 may be a microphone, and a sound outlet hole 11 is provided on the hinge 10 or at the connection end 21 of the first main body 201, and the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11 are connected via a second sound guide channel 232. This allows the hinge 10 and a position close to the hinge 10 to achieve a sound pickup function. The second sound-emitting device 32 disposed between the connection end 21 and the free end 22 of the second main body 202 may be a microphone, and a sound outlet hole 11 is provided on the hinge 10 or at the connection end 21 of the second main body 202, and the second sound-emitting device 32 and the sound outlet hole 11 are connected via a second sound guide channel 232.

The touch panel 5071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into the touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 510, and can receive and execute the command sent by the processor 510.
