  Embodiments of the present invention provide a sliding handset and a slider having a simpler structure.

  Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the novel sliding handset according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base 5 and a cover 6, and a slider is configured between the base 5 and the cover 6. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the slider includes a first roller 7 and a second roller 8 that face each other, and the first roller 7 is connected to the base 5 by a pivot 71, and the second roller 8 is connected to the cover 6 by a pivot 81 and a guide rod 9 extends from the first roller 7. As shown in FIG. 8, the through hole 82 is configured in the second roller 8, the guide rod 9 can slide along the through hole 82, and the first roller 7 and the second roller of the guide rod 9 The portion between the rollers 8 is covered with a spring 10.

  The sliding handset includes a base 5 and a cover 6. The base 5 and the cover 6 can slide relative to each other. The first roller 7 is configured on the base 5, and the second roller 8 is configured on the cover 6. When the base 5 moves with respect to the cover 6, the first roller 7 and the second roller 8 are driven to rotate, and the guide rod 9 extending from the first roller 7 passes through the through hole of the second roller 8. Since the second roller 8 is configured to pass, the second roller 8 can slide along the guide rod 9. When the second roller 8 slides along the guide rod 9, the spring 10 around the guide rod 9 is compressed and the energy released from the compressed spring 10 drives the handset to open and close automatically. . Compared to the prior art, the slider of the sliding handset provided by the embodiments of the present invention has fewer parts and is simpler in construction to perform the same function.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the guide rod 9 is two straight bars, and the outside of the first roller 7 has a bent portion connecting the two bars, and the bent portion and the two bars are U The shape is formed so that the second roller 8 slides more smoothly.

  The guide rod 9 is made of metal. The first roller 7 is made by injection molding. The first roller 7 and the guide rod 9 are fixed because the guide rod 9 prevents the relative movement of the guide rod 9 and the first roller 7 that prevents the operation of the base 5 or the cover 6 or other handset components. Are joined together. There are various fixing methods. For example, the guide rod 9 can be used as an embedded part by in-mold, and the two parts can be joined by in-mold injection molding. In this fixing method, the guide rod 9 and the first roller 7 can be firmly fixed, but the guide rod 9 can be randomly taken out of the first roller 7 or configured in the first roller 7. Can not.

  Alternatively, the guide hole can be formed on the first roller 7, one end of the guide hole can be connected to the straight portion of the guide rod 9, and the other end can be connected to the bent portion of the guide rod 9.
