[0002] A mobile terminal refers to an electronic device that can be used while on the move. Currently, the most commonly used mobile terminal is the mobile phone. During use, mobile phones often require various types of sensors as sensing elements to detect different security information. For example, a temperature sensor might be used to detect the phone's temperature, or a humidity sensor might be used to detect the internal humidity.

[0003] However, when using various sensors, the phone's original battery is often used to power them. Since the sensors are often in a working state at all times, each sensor consumes a lot of power from the battery, affecting the phone's battery life.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve or improve the problem of poor battery life of mobile terminals due to the need for them to use their power supply batteries to power various sensors has become an important technical problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0035] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] According to an embodiment of this application, a mobile terminal is provided, including a terminal body 1, a sensing element 2, and a backup battery 4. The terminal body 1 is equipped with a power supply battery 3 and a charging module, the charging module being electrically connected to the power supply battery 3 so that the power supply battery 3 can be charged. The sensing element 2 is disposed within the terminal body 1, and the sensing element 2 can detect the safety status of the terminal body 1, thereby obtaining safety information of the terminal body 1. The sensing element 2 can be various types of sensors, and the safety information of the terminal body 1 can be information such as temperature or humidity.

[0037] A backup battery 4 is installed inside the terminal body 1. The backup battery 4 is electrically connected to the sensing element 2, thereby supplying power to the sensing element 2 to ensure its normal operation. The backup battery 4 is also electrically connected to the charging module, allowing the charging module to charge the backup battery 4.

[0038] With this setup, the charging module can charge both the power supply battery 3 and the backup battery 4. The power supply battery 3 supplies power to the terminal body 1, while the sensing element 2 on the terminal body 1 is powered by the backup battery 4 when it is working. This eliminates the need for the power supply battery 3 to provide power, thereby reducing the additional losses of the power supply battery 3 and increasing the battery life of the terminal body 1.

[0039] The mobile terminal can be a mobile phone or a tablet. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the terminal body 1 is the mobile phone itself. When the mobile phone is in use, the battery 3 does not need to power the sensing element 2, thus increasing the phone's battery life.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the mobile terminal also includes a photovoltaic power generation module 5. The photovoltaic power generation module 5 includes a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic power generation module 5 is mounted on the terminal body 1 and is electrically connected to the backup battery 4. The photovoltaic power generation module 5 can convert sunlight into electrical energy and charge the backup battery 4.

[0041] With this configuration, when the mobile terminal is used outdoors, the photovoltaic power generation module 5 on the terminal body 1 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy, keeping the backup battery 4 fully charged. This ensures that when the mobile terminal is used indoors or in environments without sunlight, the sensing element 2 can achieve longer battery life, preventing the sensing element 2 from malfunctioning due to a depleted backup battery 4.

[0042] It is worth noting that even if the mobile terminal is used indoors or in environments without sunlight for an extended period, causing the power supplied by the photovoltaic power generation module 5 to the backup battery 4 to be insufficient to ensure the normal operation of the sensing element 2, the charging module on the terminal body 1 can also be used to charge the backup battery 4 to ensure the normal operation of the sensing element 2.

[0043] Taking mobile phones as an example, a bulging battery (Battery 3) can only be detected by the user's touch and sight. However, nowadays, phones are often covered by cases, making it even harder to notice a bulging battery. If a bulging battery is left untreated for an extended period, it may damage the phone or even cause an explosion, leading to a safety hazard.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the sensing element 2 includes a pressure sensor, which is disposed on the terminal body 1 and connected to the power supply battery 3. The pressure sensor can detect the pressure exerted by the power supply battery 3 on the pressure sensor. When the power supply battery 3 bulges, it expands and increases in volume, thereby increasing the pressure on the pressure sensor. When the user detects this increased pressure from the power supply battery 3, they can determine that the power supply battery 3 is bulging and replace it promptly, preventing the power supply battery 3 from exploding and causing damage to the mobile terminal or even a safety accident.

[0045] Specifically, the pressure sensor can be a resistance strain gauge. The resistance strain gauge is attached to the power supply battery 3. When the power supply battery 3 bulges, the pressure on the resistance strain gauge increases, causing the resistance of the resistance strain gauge to change. At this time, the change in the pressure value of the power supply battery 3 on the resistance strain gauge can be determined by detecting the change in the resistance value of the resistance strain gauge.

[0046] In some embodiments, the backup battery 4 is connected to the pressure sensor on the side opposite to the power supply battery 3. This allows the pressure sensor to detect the pressure exerted by the power supply battery 3 on the pressure sensor, as well as the pressure exerted by the backup battery 4 on the pressure sensor. When the backup battery 4 bulges, it expands and increases in volume, thereby increasing the pressure on the pressure sensor. When the user detects this increased pressure from the backup battery 4 on the pressure sensor, they can determine that the backup battery 4 has bulged and replace it promptly, preventing it from exploding and causing damage to the mobile terminal or even a safety accident.

[0047] Specifically, the pressure sensor can be a resistance strain gauge, with one side of the strain gauge attached to the power supply battery 3 and the other side attached to the backup battery 4. When the power supply battery 3 and / or the backup battery 4 bulges, the pressure on the strain gauge increases, causing a change in the resistance of the strain gauge. At this time, the change in the pressure value exerted on the strain gauge by the power supply battery 3 and / or the backup battery 4 can be determined by detecting the change in the resistance value of the strain gauge.

[0048] Taking mobile phones as an example, leakage in the battery (3) is only likely to be noticed by the user's visual inspection. However, nowadays, phones are often covered by cases, making battery leakage even more difficult to detect. If battery leakage is left untreated for an extended period, it may damage the phone.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, the sensing element 2 includes a leakage sensor. The leakage sensor is disposed on the terminal body 1 and connected to the power supply battery 3. Thus, the leakage sensor can detect whether the power supply battery 3 is leaking. The user can detect whether the power supply battery 3 is leaking through the leakage sensor, which facilitates timely replacement of the power supply battery 3 when leakage occurs, avoiding damage to the power supply battery 3 or the mobile terminal caused by prolonged leakage.

[0050] The leakage sensor can be a liquid sensor. The detection point of the liquid sensor is set on the power supply battery 3 at a location where leakage is likely to occur. When the power supply battery 3 leaks, the liquid flows to the liquid sensor, and the liquid sensor can detect the presence of the liquid, thereby determining that the power supply battery 3 has leaked.

[0051] It is worth noting that pressure sensors and leakage sensors can exist independently or simultaneously.

[0052] As an optional embodiment, the terminal body 1 includes a body portion 11 and a protective shell 12 covering the body portion 11. The sensing element 2, the backup battery 4, and the photovoltaic power generation module 5 are all mounted on the protective shell 12. The body portion 11 is equipped with a control module, which communicatively connects the sensing element 2 to the control module. After detecting security information of the terminal body 1, the sensing element 2 sends a detection signal to the control module, allowing the user to obtain the security information of the terminal body 1 through the control module.

[0053] Taking a mobile phone as an example, the main body 11 is the mobile phone body, and the protective case 12 is the back cover of the mobile phone. The control module is the mobile phone's processor and motherboard.

[0054] In some embodiments, the main body 11 is equipped with an alarm element, which is communicatively connected to the control module. After the sensing element 2 detects the security information of the terminal main body 1, it sends it to the control module. After the control module determines that the security information of the terminal main body 1 is abnormal, it controls the alarm element to issue an alarm message, so that the user can promptly determine the abnormality of the security information of the terminal main body 1.

[0055] If the sensing element 2 includes a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor detects the pressure exerted by the power supply battery 3 on the pressure sensor in real time and sends the data to the control module. When the control module determines that the pressure exerted by the power supply battery 3 on the pressure sensor is abnormal and excessive, it immediately controls the alarm element to issue an alarm message, allowing the user to promptly determine that the power supply battery 3 may be bulging.

[0056] If the sensing element 2 includes a leakage sensor, the leakage sensor detects whether the power supply battery 3 is leaking in real time and sends information to the control module. When the control module determines that the power supply battery 3 is leaking, it immediately controls the alarm element to issue an alarm message, so that the user can promptly determine that the power supply battery 3 may be leaking.

[0057] The alarm element can be a buzzer, or, in the case of a mobile phone, a speaker.

[0058] In some embodiments, a data cable is provided on the protective shell 12 to connect the sensing element 2 to the control module, thereby realizing the communication connection between the sensing element 2 and the control module.

[0059] Taking a mobile phone as an example, a data cable is installed on the back cover of the phone and communicates with the phone's data interface. The sensing element 2 is also connected to the data cable, allowing it to be connected to the motherboard via the data cable and data interface. The phone's data interface is the charging port.

[0060] In some embodiments, a mounting hole 121 is provided through the protective shell 12. The shape of the mounting hole 121 is consistent with that of the photovoltaic power generation module 5. The photovoltaic power generation module 5 is installed in the mounting hole 121 so that the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic power generation module 5 is flush with the outer side of the protective shell 12. Thus, the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic power generation module 5 can receive sunlight, so that the photovoltaic power generation module 5 can convert solar energy into electrical energy.

[0061] The edge of the photovoltaic power generation module 5 fits into the inner wall of the mounting hole 121 to form a seal, thereby sealing the mounting hole 121 and ensuring the integrity of the protective shell 12.

[0062] Furthermore, the shape of the backup battery 4 is consistent with the shape of the mounting hole 121. The backup battery 4 is also installed in the mounting hole 121, which reduces the space occupied inside the mobile terminal and makes the mobile terminal thinner.

[0063] The backup battery 4 is located on the side of the photovoltaic power generation module 5 near the main body 11, ensuring that the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel of the photovoltaic power generation module 5 is on the outside so as to receive sunlight and generate electricity normally.

[0064] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
