Abstract

A mobile terminal with perfume emission includes a perfume generator to store perfume; and a motor coupled to the perfume generator to emit the perfume to outside of the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a perfume generator to store perfume; and

a motor coupled to the perfume generator to emit the perfume outside of the mobile terminal.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the motor is a vibration motor comprising:

an eccentric balance weight;

a blade disposed on the balance weight; and

a case in which the balance weight is disposed, the case being connected to the perfume generator and comprising an emission port to emit the perfume.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising a transfer tube to connect the perfume generator and the motor, and a pump to supply the perfume from the perfume generator to the motor.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a main body and a moving body, which are movably coupled,

wherein the pump comprises a piston that moves linearly in response to the motion of the moving body and a cylinder through which the piston moves.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the transfer tube comprises a first check valve disposed between the cylinder and the perfume generator and a second check valve between the cylinder and the motor.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the mobile terminal is a folder-type mobile terminal with the main body and the moving body coupled by a hinge, and the pump comprises a cam connected to the piston, the cam being linearly moveable inside the cylinder in response to the movement of the moving body about the hinge.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:

a pump to supply air from outside to the perfume generator,

an emission tube to connect the perfume generator and the motor, and

a transfer tube to connect the pump and the perfume generator,

wherein the pump forces the air from the outside into the perfume generator through the transfer tube, and the perfume is supplied from the perfume generator to the motor through the emission tube.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a main body and a moving body which are movably coupled,

wherein the pump comprises a piston that moves linearly in response to the motion of the moving body and a cylinder through which the piston moves, the cylinder comprising an air inflow port,

wherein the transfer tube connects the cylinder to the perfume generator, and

wherein the transfer tube comprises a first check valve and the air inflow port comprises a second check valve.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the motor is a linear vibration motor having a linearly moving vibrator inside a case of the linear vibration motor,

wherein a transfer port connects the case to the perfume generator, and

wherein an emission port is disposed in a side of the case to emit the perfume in response to the linear motion of the vibrator.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the transfer port comprises a first check valve and the emission port comprises a second check valves.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the motor is a vibration motor comprising a balance weight to vibrate while rotating, and the balance weight comprises a valve to emit the perfume to the outside of the mobile terminal while the balance weight rotates.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the balance weight comprises a blade, wherein an air flow is formed by the blade so that the perfume is emitted to the outside of the mobile terminal by the air flow while the balance weight rotates.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the perfume generator comprises a transfer port, the vibration motor has an inner hole corresponding to the transfer port, the case of the vibration motor has a transfer hole in fluid communication with the inner hole, and the valve opens the transfer hole as the balance weight moves.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13, further comprising:

a cylinder disposed at one side of the case of the vibration motor adjacent to the perfume generator to form the inner hole in the case;

a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed inside the case;

a magnet disposed at one side of the PCB; and

a balance weight disposed at one side of the magnet,

wherein the valve comprises;

a pillar disposed in the cylinder and at a center of the balance weight, the pillar extending to an outside of the case, and

a disk disposed at an outside end of the pillar to open the transfer hole,

wherein, if a power is supplied to the balance weight, the balance weight moves so that the disk opens the transfer hole.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 14, wherein the pillar is magnetic and an attraction between the magnet and the pillar is smaller than a repulsive force generated if the power is supplied to the balance weight.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the mobile terminal is a slide-type mobile terminal wherein a moving body is coupled to a main body so as to move linearly with respect to the main body, and the pump comprises a cylinder disposed in one of the main body and the moving body and a piston disposed in the other of the main body and the moving body, the piston being linearly moveable in the cylinder.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the mobile terminal is a slide-type mobile terminal wherein a moving body is coupled to a main body so as to move linearly with respect to the main body, and the pump comprises a cylinder disposed in one of the main body and the moving body and a piston disposed in the other of the main body and the moving body, the piston being linearly moveable in the cylinder.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the mobile terminal is a folder-type mobile terminal with the main body and the moving body coupled by a hinge, and a cam moves linearly inside the hinge in response to rotation of the moving body, the cam being fixed to the piston.

19. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the perfume generator generates the perfume from an aromatic gel stored in the perfume generator.

20. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein a case of the motor comprises a connector to which the perfume generator is connectable.
