Abstract

Provided is a mobile terminal performing a mosquito repelling function. The mobile terminal with the mosquito repelling function comprises: a frame forming a full length part to minimize the thickness of a mosquito repelling device and ensure sufficient rigidity; a battery provided on the back surface of the frame; a rear cover detachably coupled to the back surface of the frame; and a mosquito repelling device coupled to the inner surface of the rear cover.

Claims (66)

1. A mosquito repellent apparatus comprising:

an upper casing for defining first multi-holes therein;

a lower casing coupled to the upper casing, and defining a separate space together with the upper casing between the lower casing and the upper casing; and

a vibrator including a copperplate layer and a ceramic layer, and disposed in the separate space,

wherein the lower casing includes:

a planar portion; and

a protruding portion forming a bend from the planar portion to support an outer peripheral region of a rear face of the vibrator,

wherein the upper casing includes:

a first face opposite to a central region of the vibrator and having the first multi-holes defined therein;

a second face for forming a step from the first face to support an outer peripheral region of a front face of the vibrator;

a third face for forming a step from the second face to be in contact with one region of the planar portion of the lower casing; and

first screw holes respectively penetrating one point of one region of the planar portion and one point of the third face overlapping said one point of the planar portion.

2. The mosquito repellent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the upper casing contains STS, and

wherein the first face, the second face, the third face, and the first screw holes are formed at the same time through a stamping process.

3. The mosquito repellent apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a soft lower tape disposed between the protruding portion and the outer peripheral region of the rear face of the vibrator; and

a soft upper tape disposed between the second face and an outer peripheral region of a top face of the vibrator.

4. The mosquito repellent apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vibrator has a circular shape,

wherein each of one region of the planar portion and the third face includes a donut-shaped plane, and

wherein each of the first screw holes includes four holes positioned at four points on each of the donut-shaped planes and spaced apart from each other.

5. A mobile terminal comprising:

a frame for defining an electronic component portion;

a battery disposed on a rear face of the frame;

a rear cover detachably coupled to the rear face of the frame; and

a mosquito repellent apparatus coupled to an inner face of the rear cover,

wherein the mosquito repellent apparatus includes:

an upper casing for defining first multi-holes therein;

a lower casing coupled to the upper casing, and defining a separate space together with the upper casing between the lower casing and the upper casing; and

a vibrator including a copperplate layer and a ceramic layer, and disposed in the separate space,

wherein the lower casing includes:

a planar portion; and

a protruding portion forming a bend from the planar portion to support an outer peripheral region of a rear face of the vibrator,

wherein the upper casing includes:

a first face opposite to a central region of the vibrator and having the first multi-holes defined therein;

a second face for forming a step from the first face to support an outer peripheral region of a front face of the vibrator;

a third face for forming a step from the second face to be in contact with one region of the planar portion of the lower casing; and

each first screw hole penetrating at least one point of each of one region of the planar portion and third face.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the rear cover includes:

a seating portion defined in one region of an inner face thereof to define a region for seating the upper casing of the mosquito repellent apparatus therein;

a recessed portion defined in one region around the seating portion to define a region recessed outwardly;

a second screw hole defined at a position of the seating portion corresponding to positions of the first screw holes;

a screw penetrating the first screw holes and the second screw hole;

an outlet portion defined in the seating portion to define second multi-holes corresponding to the first multi-holes; and

ribs forming a lattice pattern formed on an inner face of the recessed portion.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , further comprising a pad disposed between the upper casing and the seating portion, and

wherein the pad is in a mesh shape.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein at least one region of the mosquito repellent apparatus overlaps with the battery.

9. A mobile terminal comprising:

a front frame;

a rear frame coupled to a rear face of the front frame to define an electronic component portion between the front frame and the rear frame; and

a mosquito repellent apparatus disposed on an inner face of the rear frame and exposed outwardly of the rear frame,

wherein the mosquito repellent apparatus includes:

an upper casing for defining first multi-holes therein;

a lower casing coupled to the upper casing, and defining a separate space together with the upper casing between the lower casing and the upper casing; and

a vibrator including a copperplate layer and a ceramic layer, and disposed in the separate space,

wherein the lower casing includes:

a planar portion; and

a protruding portion forming a bend from the planar portion to support an outer peripheral region of a rear face of the vibrator,

wherein the upper casing includes:

a first face opposite to a central region of the vibrator and having the first multi-holes defined therein;

a second face for forming a step from the first face to support an outer peripheral region of a front face of the vibrator;

a third face for forming a step from the second face to be in contact with one region of the planar portion of the lower casing; and

each first screw hole penetrating at least one point of each of one region of the planar portion and third face.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9 , further comprising:

a rear cover detachably coupled to an outer face of the rear frame; and

second multi-holes corresponding to the first multi-holes and defined in one region of the rear cover.
