Abstract
A screw device, for mounting within a housing, configured to fixedly connect a first portion and a second portion of the housing, includes: a driving part fixedly connected within the first portion of the housing; a screw connected with the driving part; a nut fixedly connected within the second portion of the housing and matching the screw; and a chip configured to control the driving part to drive the screw to move relative to the nut, so as to achieve engagement or separation between the screw and the nut.
Claims15
A screw device, for mounting within a housing, configured to fixedly connect a first portion and a second portion of the housing, comprising:
- a driving part fixedly connected within the first portion of the housing;
- a screw connected with the driving part;
- a nut fixedly connected within the second portion of the housing and matching the screw;
- and
- a chip configured to control the driving part to drive the screw to move relative to the nut, so as to achieve engagement or separation between the screw and the nut.
A fastening method, comprising:
- activating, by a chip, a driving part to act;
- and
- driving, by the driving part, a screw to move so as to achieve engagement or separation between the screw and a nut, thereby to achieve connection or separation of a first portion and a second portion of a housing.
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
- a housing for enclosing the processor and the memory;
- and
- a screw device mounted within the housing and configured to fixedly connect a first portion and a second portion of the housing, wherein the screw device includes:
- a driving part fixedly connected within the first portion of the housing;
- a screw connected with the driving part;
- a nut fixedly connected within the second portion of the housing and matching the screw;
- and
- a chip configured to control the driving part to drive the screw to move relative to the nut, so as to achieve engagement or separation between the screw and the nut.
