Abstract

A flexible screen mobile terminal includes: a first body, a second body, a flexible screen, and a screen support, where the screen support is configured to fix the flexible screen, and enable the flexible screen to be movably connected to at least one of the first body and the second body. The first body and the second body are detachably connected in a plug-connection mode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flexible screen mobile terminal, comprising:
a first body, having a first surface for mounting a flexible screen;
a second body, disposed at one end of the first body, and having a second surface for mounting the flexible screen;
the flexible screen, lapped jointly on the first surface and the second surface; and
a screen support, configured to fix the flexible screen, and enable the flexible screen to be movably connected to at least one of the first body and the second body;
wherein the first body and the second body are detachably connected in a plug-connection mode;
wherein the second body is provided with a chute, enabling the screen support to slide in the chute, and the screen support is slidably connected to the second body via the chute;
wherein the screen support is provided with a second body limit block for limiting a relative sliding distance between the screen support and the second body, and the second body limit block is disposed at one end of the screen support near the second body; the chute is provided with a rack structure matched with the second body limit block, and a relative position of the second body and the screen support is controlled by cooperation of a gear and a rack.

2. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:
a driving device, disposed on one of the first body and the second body, for driving relative rotation between the first body and the second body.

3. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body and the second body in a separation state and jointed to each other via the flexible screen are capable of rotating relatively around an axis parallel to a plane of the flexible screen; the second body is capable of rotating by 180 degree in a direction towards the first surface, so that the first surface and the second surface are bonded to each other; and the second body is capable of rotating by 180 degree in a direction towards the third surface of the body opposite to the first surface, so that the third surface and the fourth surface of the body, opposite to the second surface, are bonded to each other.

4. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the flexible screen mobile terminal is a mobile phone in flat shape when the second body is attached on the first body; the second body is provided with a camera component, and a lens of the camera component is located on the second surface.

5. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body is provided with a chute, enabling the screen support to slide in the chute, and the screen support is slidably connected to the first body via the chute.

6. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the screen support is provided with a first body limit block for limiting a relative sliding distance between the screen support and the first body, and the first body limit block is disposed at one end of the screen support near the first body.

7. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein connection components are disposed at a position where the first body and the second body are connected; the connection components comprise a first connector located on the first body and a second connector located on the second body, and the first connector and the second connector are matched with each other and can be connected or separated selectively.

8. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the first connector and the second connector are a buckle and a slot.

9. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein both the first body and the second body have a terminal connection surface, wherein when the first body and the second body are connected, terminal connection surfaces of the first body and the second body are opposite, the buckle is a convex structure disposed protruding from one terminal connection surface, and the buckle is provided with a limit hole penetrating the buckle.

10. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 9 , wherein the slot is a groove structure disposed corresponding to the buckle and pitting in another terminal connection surface, and an elastic limit piece matched with the limit hole is disposed in the slot.

11. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein a limit piece operation component for operating the elastic limit piece is disposed on a side wall of the slot.

12. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the buckle is disposed on one of the first body and the second body, and the slot is disposed on the other of the first body and the second body.

13. A flexible screen mobile terminal, comprising:
a first body, a second body, a flexible screen and a screen support;
wherein the screen support is configured to fix the flexible screen and the flexible screen is movably connected to at least one of the first body and the second body via the screen support, and wherein the first body and the second body are detachably connected in a plug-connection mode;
wherein the second body is provided with a chute, enabling the screen support to slide in the chute, and the screen support is slidably connected to the second body via the chute;
wherein the screen support is provided with a second body limit block for limiting a relative sliding distance between the screen support and the second body, and the second body limit block is disposed at one end of the screen support near the second body; the chute is provided with a rack structure matched with the second body limit block, and a relative position of the second body and the screen support is controlled by cooperation of a gear and a rack.

14. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein the first body and the second body in a separation state and jointed to each other via the flexible screen are capable of rotating relatively around an axis parallel to a plane of the flexible screen; the second body is capable of rotating by 180 degree in a direction towards the first surface, so that the first surface and the second surface are bonded to each other; and the second body is capable of rotating by 180 degree in a direction towards the third surface of the body opposite to the first surface, so that the third surface and the fourth surface of the of the body, opposite to the second surface, are bonded to each other.

15. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein the first body is provided with a chute, enabling the screen support to slide in the chute, and the screen support is slidably connected to the first body via the chute; the screen support is provided with a first body limit block for limiting a relative sliding distance between the screen support and the first body, and the first body limit block is disposed at one end of the screen support near the first body.

16. The flexible screen mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein connection components are disposed at a position where the first body and the second body are connected; the connection components comprise a first connector located on the first body and a second connector located on the second body, and the first connector and the second connector are matched with each other and can be connected or separated selectively.
