Abstract

There is disclosed a mobile terminal including a case comprising an electric control unit in which electric/electronic parts are mounted, a battery cover coupled to a rear surface of the case, and a vibration motor coupled to an inner surface of the battery cover.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a case comprising an electric control unit in which electric/electronic parts are mounted;

a battery cover coupled to a rear surface of the case; and

a vibration motor coupled to an inner surface of the battery cover.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein a groove is formed in each of the case and the electric/electronic parts mounted in the case, with a shape corresponding to the vibration motor.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein a hole having a shape corresponding to the vibration motor is formed in the case, and

a groove having a shape corresponding to the vibration motor is formed in the electric/electronic parts mounted in the case.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein a buffer pad is disposed between the vibration motor and the electric/electronic parts.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the electric/electronic parts comprise a printed circuit board, and

the vibration motor comprises an elastic terminal configured to contact with a connecting terminal mounted in the printed circuit board so as to connect the vibration motor to the printed circuit board electrically.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein a portion near the hole of the case is formed of a metallic material.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein a groove having a shape corresponding to the vibration motor is formed in the battery cover.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the battery cover comprises a support wall configured to surround the vibration motor.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein a hook configured to be coupled to a rear surface of the case is formed in an outer surface of the support wall.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

an antenna coupled to an inner surface of the battery cover.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless charging coil coupled to an inner surface of the battery cover.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

a magnetic for mobile terminal resting coupled to an inner surface of the battery cover.
