Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to electronic equipment.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a technique for ensuring a proper opening operation of a front panel regardless of an arranged position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an electronic apparatus, for example, an on-vehicle disc reproducing apparatus, a disc insertion slot is formed in a front portion of a housing, a front panel is rotatably provided, and the front panel is moved to an open position. In some cases, the disk insertion opening is opened by being rotated, and the disk insertion opening is closed by rotating the front panel to the closing position.

In such a disk reproducing apparatus,
For example, the front panel is rotatable around its lower end, and when an open switch provided on the front panel is operated, the lock on the front panel locked by the lock mechanism in the closed position is released. In some cases, the front panel is pressed by an opening lever to rotate the front panel from an open position to a closed position.

[0004]

Incidentally, in particular, in a disk reproducing apparatus for use in a vehicle, the front panel is not always mounted in a vehicle cabin in a horizontal state. Often, it is attached at a predetermined angle so as to face.

For example, as shown in FIG. 22, a disk reproducing apparatus a is mounted on a mounted portion b in a vehicle cabin so that a front panel c is inclined above a rear end of a housing d.

When the disc reproducing apparatus a is mounted in an inclined state as described above, the load due to the weight of the front panel c applied to the opening lever e is large (see FIG. 2).
2 is indicated by a force F. In order to reliably rotate the front panel c to the open position, the force of the urging spring f for applying a pressing force to the open panel e to the front panel c must be increased.

However, if the amount of force of the urging spring f is increased, when the disc reproducing apparatus a is mounted in a horizontal state, the amount of force of the urging spring f is increased.
The pivoted front panel c may bounce at the open position, thereby deteriorating the quality of the disc reproducing apparatus a, or causing vibrations in the front panel c and the housing d to cause a failure. is there.

On the other hand, if the urging spring f is made weak in order to avoid the above-mentioned so-called bouncing phenomenon, when the disc reproducing apparatus a is mounted in an inclined state as shown in FIG. In addition, the force given to the opening lever e by the weight of the front panel c is large, which may cause a problem that the front panel c is not rotated to the opening position.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned disc reproducing apparatus a, an oil damper using a silicon material is used in order to limit the rotation speed of the front panel c so as not to cause a bouncing phenomenon at the closed position. However, the properties (hardness, etc.) of the silicon material tend to change depending on the temperature. Therefore, especially when the operating temperature range is wide such as in a disk reproducing device for a vehicle, the function of the oil damper changes depending on the operating temperature. This may hinder the rotation of the front panel c.

It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned problems and to secure a proper opening operation of the front panel regardless of the position of the electronic device.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an electronic apparatus according to the present invention has a front side rotatably supported by a front surface of a housing and rotated between a closed position and an open position.
