The body 20 includes a front wall 22 facing the sliding cover 10 and a side wall 24 adjacent to the front wall 22. The body 20 defines a recess 222 corresponding to the control mechanism 34 and a sliding slot 224 corresponding to the connecting member 322 . The recess 222 is electrically connected to the sidewall 24 to form a slot bottom wall 2220, a first slot sidewall 2221 parallel to the sidewall 24, and a second slot sidewall 2222 intersecting the sidewall 24. The sliding slot 224 is configured to receive the connecting member 322. The sliding slot 224 extends along the sliding direction of the sliding cover 10, and the sliding stroke of the sliding cover 10 is defined by the sliding slot 224.

A second mating post 2223 corresponding to the third mating hole 3264, a retaining post 2224 adjacent to the second mating post 2223, and a guide corresponding to the guide post 3426 are disposed on the bottom wall 2220 of the slot. Slot 2225. The second mating post 2223 is rotatably received in the The third matching hole 3264 is inside. The holding post 2224 corresponds to the collar 3442 and the collar 3442 is fixed thereto to hold the first elastic body 344 on the body 20. The guide groove 2225 is configured to receive the guide post 3426. When the guide post 3426 is received in the guide groove 2225, the guide post 3426 can slide in the guide groove 2225.

A fixing post 2226 is protruded from the first slot sidewall 2221 , and the fixing post 2226 is configured to fix the second elastic body 346 to the body 20 . The second groove side wall 2222 defines two engaging grooves 2227 corresponding to the flange 3486. The flange 3486 is slidably received in the engaging groove 2227.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the mobile phone 100 is assembled, the second elastic body 346 is first sleeved and fixed (for example, hot-melted) on the fixing post 2226; then the slider 342 is mounted on the concave portion. In the slot 222, at this time, the guide post 3426 is received in the guide groove 2225, and the slider 342 abuts the second elastic body 346 to compress the second elastic body 346 to accumulate elastic force; An elastic body 344 is sleeved on the second matching post 2223. At this time, the collar 3442 is fixed on the holding post 2224; the button 348 is placed in the recess 222. At this time, the flange 3486 is accommodated. The contact portion 3484 is placed in the engagement groove 2227, and the two end portions of the slider 342 are in contact with each other. Then, the link mechanism 32 is integrally connected to the control mechanism 34. Specifically, the first The second connecting rod 2223 passes through the third matching hole 3264, and the hook 3444 is sleeved on the second link 326 to couple the second link 326 with the first elastic body 344. One end of the connecting member 322 facing the body 20 is received in the sliding slot 224. At this time, the post 3268 is engaged with the first engaging rib 3422, and the first elastic 344 counterclockwise direction provides the second link 326 is rotated clockwise there is a tendency of occurrence of distortion; Finally, the connection member 322 toward one end of the slider 10 and the slider 10 fixed to together, That is, the assembly of the mobile phone 100 is completed, and at this time, the mobile phone 100 is in the off state.
