  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a digital camera 1 corresponding to the electrical apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The digital camera 1 is provided with a lens 1a, a monitor unit 1b, etc. in a rectangular parallelepiped synthetic resin or metal housing 2, and a part of the back surface 2a (lower corner) of the housing 2 is recessed. An elongated rectangular slot (opening) 3 is formed in the recessed portion so that a CF card type card body C can be mounted through the slot 3. On the upper edge of the slot 3 is disposed an eject button 11 that is pressed when the card body C mounted is taken out, and on the lower edge 3a (a part of the housing 2) the slot 3 has a slot. A lid 4 for opening and closing 3 is rotatably attached. The lid 4 has one end side 4 a as a rotation shaft portion 4 b, and a latching portion 4 c that protrudes from the other end side. When the lid 4 is closed, the latching portion 4 c is located at a recessed portion of the housing 2. The lid 4 is locked to keep the lid 4 closed.

  In addition, the digital camera 1 secures a space for accommodating the card body C in an internal portion of the housing 2 that communicates with the slot 3 and is provided with a connector 10 that holds the card body C accommodated in the space.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connector 10 is provided with guide portions 10 a, 10 b that guide and hold both side portions of the card body C inserted through the slot 3, and each guide portion 10 a, The end portions of 10b are connected by a conductive connection portion 10c having a plurality of conductive pins 14. Therefore, when the card body C is inserted from the slot 3, the card body C inserted by the guide portions 10a and 10b is guided to the conduction connection portion 10c, and the conduction pin 14 of the conduction connection portion 10c and the insertion side of the card body C are inserted. A connection portion Ca provided on one surface is electrically connected, and the card body C is held by the connector 10 in this state.

  Further, the connector 10 is provided with an eject mechanism so that the held card body C is detached by the operation of the eject mechanism and can be removed from the slot 3. The eject mechanism includes an eject bar 12 that is movably disposed along one guide portion 10b of the connector 10, and an eject lever 13 that is rotatably attached to one surface of the conductive connection portion 10c around a fulcrum portion 13b. ing.

  The eject mechanism is configured such that when the eject button 11 provided at one end 12a on the slot 3 side of the eject bar 12 is pushed, the eject bar 12 moves in the pushing direction, and the other end 12b of the eject bar 12 is ejected by the eject lever 13. The eject lever 13 rotates around the fulcrum portion 13b, presses the surface of the connection portion Ca of the card body C that is connected and held by the card pressing portion 13c provided at the other end, and the card body. The connection between C and the conductive connection portion 10c is released, and the card body C is freed so that it can be removed from the slot 3.

  2 to 4A and 4B, the digital camera 1 of this embodiment directly fixes the connector 10 to one surface 20d of a rectangular substrate 20 (corresponding to a plate member). The substrate 20 is attached to an inner surface 2b that becomes a chassis portion of the housing 2 with a synthetic rubber bush 21 as an elastic body interposed therebetween. With such a mounting form, the connector 10 has a so-called floating structure with respect to the chassis portion.

  The floating structure will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 4B, circular holes 20c are formed at four locations around the substrate 20, and a substantially cylindrical bush 21 is provided in each hole 20c. It is inserted. The bush 21 has a groove 21b that engages with the peripheral edge of the hole 20c of the substrate 20 on the peripheral surface 21a, and a through hole 21e that penetrates from the center of the upper surface 21c to the center of the lower surface 21d. The inner diameter of the through-hole 21e is set to a dimension that allows the mounting portion 2d, which is provided in a columnar shape from the inner surface 2b of the housing 2 and formed with the screw hole 2d, to be fitted without a gap. Note that the attachment portion 2c of the housing 2 is erected at a portion corresponding to each hole portion 20c at the attachment location of the substrate 20, and the through hole 21e of the bush 21 fitted into the hole portion 20c of the substrate 20. Is fitted into the mounting portion 2 c, and the substrate 20 is disposed on the inner surface 2 b of the housing 2.

  Further, on the upper surface 21c of the bush 21, a stop plate 22 having a disk shape larger in diameter than the upper surface 21c and having a hole 22b formed in the center is disposed, and a screw 23 is inserted from the hole 22b of the stop plate 22 to attach the mounting portion. The board | substrate 20 is fixed by screwing in the screw hole 2d of 2c. Therefore, since the substrate 20 is attached to the housing 2 via the bush 21, the connector 10 and the substrate 20 are in a floating state with respect to the chassis portion of the housing 2.

  Therefore, even when an impact or vibration is applied to the housing 2 of the digital camera 1, the bush 21 absorbs the impact or vibration as an impact damper, and the substrate 20 moves slightly by the bush 21, so that the impact is directly applied to the substrate 20. Or vibration is prevented from being transmitted. This makes it difficult for shock or vibration to be transmitted to the card body C held by the connector 20 attached to the board 20, and when the card body C is a model that is vulnerable to shock, such as a hard disk device, adverse effects due to shock or vibration. Is prevented from occurring. In addition to the synthetic rubber, a foam material and a gel material that can absorb an impact or the like as an elastic body can be applied to the bush 21.

  The floating structure according to the present invention includes a lock mechanism. The reason why the lock mechanism is provided is that when the card body C is inserted and removed, the board 20 and the connector 10 are inserted due to the pressing of the conductive connection part 10c when the board 20 and the connector 10 are inserted and the pulling of the conductive connection part 10c when the card body C is removed. This is to prevent the deterioration of the insertion / removability because the card body C moves in the direction and the direction of removal and the insertion / removability of the card body C is deteriorated. The lock mechanism operates only when the card body C is inserted and removed, and in the case of exception, the floating mechanism is maintained to suppress the transmission of shock and vibration to the card body C.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 (b), the board 20 is parallel to the insertion / extraction direction of the card body C and is away from the eject bar 12, as shown in FIGS. A rectangular notch 20b (corresponding to the engaged portion) is formed at a location close to the rotation shaft portion 4b of the lid 4 (corresponding to the outer edge portion). Further, a substantially L-shaped engagement member 5 is integrally provided on the rotation shaft portion 4 b of the lid 4 so as to protrude into the housing 2.

  The engaging member 5 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the lid 4, and when the lid 4 is closed as shown in FIG. 2, the protruding portion 5 a from the rotating shaft portion 4 b of the engaging member 5 is a card. When the lid 4 is opened as shown in FIG. 3, the engaging member 5 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the lid 4 and protrudes. The portion 5a is in a positional relationship parallel to the X direction. When the lid 4 is opened, the engaging portion 5b refracted from the tip of the protruding portion 5a of the engaging member 4 enters the notch 20b of the substrate 20 (see FIG. 5), and the substrate 20 and the connector 10 move in the X direction. It is restricted (locked). As shown in FIG. 5, when the engaging portion 5b enters the notch 20b, the board 20 and the connector 10 are also directed to one direction (the arrow direction related to Y) in the Y direction perpendicular to the X direction. Movement is restricted.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, since the board | substrate 20 and the connector 10 are locked with respect to the insertion / extraction direction of the card body C when the lid | cover 4 is opened, even if a floating structure is employ | adopted, the connector 10 will be at the time of insertion / extraction of the card body C. As a result, the card body C can be secured in a good insertion / extraction property. As a result, the card body C is protected against impacts and vibrations and the card body C is inserted / extracted at the same time.

  In addition, 1st Embodiment which concerns on this invention is not limited to the form mentioned above, The application of a various modification is possible. For example, in addition to the digital camera 1, the floating structure and the locking mechanism according to the first embodiment can be used in various electrical devices such as a personal computer, a PDA, a mobile phone, a portable music playback device, a television device, and a digital video camera. Can be provided. In addition to the CF card, the card body C to be mounted can be adapted to a PC card and a card shape conforming to other standards.

  6 (a) and 6 (b) show a modified example, and the engaging member 15 according to the modified example has a concave portion 15d formed at the center of the distal end surface 15c of the engaging portion 15b, and is engaged with the notch 20b of the substrate 20. With the joint portion 15b engaged, both sides of the recess 15d are configured as a first opposing portion 15e and a second opposing portion 15f, and the substrate 20 is configured to abut against both surfaces 20d and 20e. That is, in the engaging member 15 of the modified example, the substrate 20 is sandwiched between the facing portions 15e and 15f in addition to the engagement between the notch 20b and the engaging portion 15b, as shown in FIG. 6B. The movements of the board 20 and the connector 10 are also restricted in the Z direction orthogonal to the X direction and the Y direction, respectively, and locking can be performed in multiple directions.

  Further, FIG. 7 shows another modified example, in which a rotation shaft portion 24b of the lid 24 is rotatably attached to the long side edge side of the elongated rectangular slot 23 formed in the housing 22. The rotation axis related to the rotation of the lid 24 is in a positional relationship parallel to the long side of the slot 23. In this modified example, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, an engagement hole 30c (corresponding to the engaged portion) is formed in the substrate 30 as the engaged portion, and the lid 24 is rotated. A substantially L-shaped engaging member 25 provided integrally with the moving shaft portion 24b is provided with a pin-shaped engaging portion 25b protruding from the tip of the protruding portion 25a.

  In this modification, when the lid 24 in the closed state is rotated about the rotation axis K as shown in FIG. 8A, the engaging member 25 is also rotated in conjunction with the lid 24 in FIG. When the lid 24 is completely opened as shown in b), the pin-like engagement portion 25b of the engagement member 25 is inserted into the engagement hole 30c and engaged, and the movement of the board 30 and the connector 10 is restricted. When the engaging portion 25b is engaged with the engaging hole 30c, the board 30 and the connector 10 are locked in any direction along the board plane, and in addition to the X direction which is the insertion / extraction direction of the card body C. Thus, the movement of the board 30 and the connector 10 can be restricted even in the Y direction. As a result, the present modification can stably lock the board 30 and the connector 10 even when the card body is inserted or removed in an oblique posture with respect to the insertion / extraction direction, and further, by pressing the eject button 11 This is preferable because it can resist the moment force related to the eject lever 13 generated with the fulcrum portion 13b generated when the card body C is detached from the conductive connection portion 10c as the rotation center.

  Further, FIGS. 9A and 9B and FIG. 10 show another modification example. When the eject button 41 is pushed, the movement of the board 50 and the connector 40 is changed in one direction in the X direction and the Y direction (FIG. 9B). It is locked in the direction indicated by the arrow Y in FIG. In this modification, the eject bar 42 is disposed at a slight distance from one guide portion 40b of the connector 40, and a rectangular hole 50f is formed at a location between the eject bar 42 and the guide portion 40b of the substrate 50. Then, a notch 50c is formed at the edge of the hole 50f on the guide portion 40b side. Further, a guide plate portion 60 is erected from a position facing the hole portion 50f on the inner surface 32b of the housing 32, and the engaging member 61 is placed in a rectangular hole 60a formed in the guide plate portion 60 in the direction of the black arrow in FIG. It is slidably attached.

  The engaging member 61 is provided with a hemispherical contact portion 61b at one end on the eject bar 42 side of the shaft portion 61a slidably fitted in the rectangular hole 60a of the guide plate portion 60. The contact portion 61b and the guide plate portion 60 are provided. A compression coil spring 62 is attached between the two and the engaging member 61 is urged toward the eject bar 42, and the other end of the shaft portion 61a is offset so as to be at the same position (the same height) as the substrate 50. The engaging portion 61c is projected.

  Further, the eject bar 42 is arranged in a state where it is urged by a spring (not shown) in a direction in which the eject button 41 can be popped out so that the eject bar 41 can be pushed in two stages. When the eject button 41 is not pushed, the eject bar 41 The other end portion 42 b of 42 is separated from the one end 43 a of the eject lever 43 by a distance L.

  Further, the eject bar 42 has a concave portion 42d so that the abutting portion 61b of the engaging member 61 abuts the one surface 42c of the connector 40 on the side facing the guide portion 40b when the eject button 41 is not pushed. A recess 42e is formed from the recess 42d to the eject button 41 side. The depth of the recess 42d is dimensioned according to the amount of movement that allows the engaging portion 61c of the engaging member 61 to enter the notch 50c of the substrate 50, and the length of the inclined surface 42e in the axial direction of the eject bar 42 is as follows. When the eject bar 42 is moved by the distance L by making it shorter than the distance L described above, the engaging member 62 passes through the inclined surface 42e from the recess 42d.

  By applying the configuration according to the modified example as described above, when the eject button 41 is pushed by the distance L in the state shown in FIG. 9A, the engaging member 61 moves in the direction of the black arrow in FIG. 9B. By pressing and moving, the engaging portion 61c engages with the notch 50c of the substrate 50, and locks the substrate 50 and the connector 40 in one direction in the X direction and the Y direction. When the eject button 41 is further pushed in from this state, the other end portion 42b of the eject bar 42 presses the one end 43a of the eject lever 43 while the locked state is maintained, and the eject lever 43 is rotated around the fulcrum portion 43b. The body C can be detached. 9 (a), (b), and FIG. 10 are suitable for an electrical device having no slot lid, but can be applied in combination with the lock mechanism interlocked with the lid described above. When combined, it is possible to lock more firmly and with increased regulation directions.

FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view showing an attachment state of the connector 80 inside the housing 72 of the electric device 70 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The second embodiment is characterized in that the connector 80 is not attached to the board, but the connector 80 is attached to the inner surface 72b of the housing 72 via the bush 91.
