The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a connecting means that enables connection between an apparatus main body and a unit with an inexpensive and simple configuration.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a connection structure of an apparatus main body in an electronic apparatus and a unit detachable from the apparatus main body, wherein a connection member is provided at a connection portion of the unit. And a connecting member made of an elastic material that comes into contact with the jumper wire is provided at a connection portion of the apparatus main body.

According to the present invention, since the jumper wire is used as the connecting member, the connecting structure between the apparatus main body and the unit can be inexpensively and simply constructed.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises an apparatus main body and a detachable unit attached to the apparatus main body. A jumper wire is provided as a connecting member at a connection portion of the unit to connect the apparatus main body. An electronic device provided with a connecting member made of an elastic material that comes into contact with a jumper wire at a portion. Since the jumper wire is used as the connecting member, the connection structure between the device body and the unit can be configured at low cost and easily. Has an action.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the electronic device according to the first aspect, a plurality of units are provided, the jumper line is formed to be long for common use of each unit, and the jumper line is formed in the main body of the apparatus. It is configured to be in contact with a plurality of connection members, and since each unit can share the same signal with a long jumper wire, it has the effect of reducing the number of signal lines.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the electronic device according to the first aspect, the unit includes a plurality of jumper wires, and any one of the jumper wires contacts a connection member of the apparatus main body. In addition, even when the unit is movable and its movable amount is large, any one of the jumper wires comes into contact with the connection member of the apparatus main body, and has an effect of ensuring the connection.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a structural view of a unit and an apparatus main body in an electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 (a) is a plan view of a connection state between the unit and the apparatus main body. FIG. 2B is a side view of the connection state between the unit and the apparatus main body.

As shown in FIG. 1, the unit 11 of the electronic device has a board 13 mounted on its connection portion so as to expose a jumper wire 12 as a connection member.
The device main body of the electronic device has a substrate 14 provided at its connection portion so as to expose a connection member 15 made of an elastic material such as a leaf spring. The connecting member 15 is connected to the substrate 1.
4, mechanical fixing may be performed.

The unit and the apparatus main body in the electronic apparatus configured as described above are connected as shown in FIG. That is, when the detachable unit 11 having the board 13 on which the jumper wire 12 is mounted is mounted on the device main body 16, the jumper wire 12 comes into contact with the connection member 15 provided on the device main body 16, and 11 is connected.

In the first embodiment, since a leaf spring is used for the connection member 15, the play A in the illustrated Z direction can be absorbed, and the play in the X direction DB and the Y direction can be adjusted by setting the width of the connection member 15. Since the backlash C can be absorbed, the allowable amount of the backlash for mounting the unit 11 or the apparatus main body 16 is greatly increased as compared with the drawer connector used conventionally. Further, since the jumper wire 12 is used as the connection member, the configuration is simple and the connection portion can be configured at low cost.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a unit and an apparatus main body in an electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the electronic apparatus has a plurality of units 11,
A long jumper wire 12a common to each unit 11 is provided, and the jumper wire 12a is configured to be connected to the plurality of connection members 15 of the apparatus body 16.

In the second embodiment, since the long jumper wire 12a shared by each unit 11 is used,
Since the same signal can be shared, the number of signal lines can be reduced.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of a unit and an apparatus main body in an electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

The third embodiment is characterized in that the electronic apparatus has a configuration in which a unit 11 is mounted with a plurality of jumper wires 12 as shown in FIG.

In the third embodiment, the unit 1
Since 1 has a plurality of jumper wires 12,
Even when the unit 11 is movable and the movable amount D is large, any one of the jumper wires 12 comes into contact with the connection member 15 of the apparatus main body 16 to secure the connection.

In each of the above embodiments of the present invention,
Although a board with a jumper wire is mounted on the unit, depending on the configuration of the main unit, it can be placed on the main unit side,
Needless to say, the same effect can be obtained by disposing both the unit and the apparatus main body.

[0022]

As is clear from the above description, the electronic apparatus of the present invention comprises an apparatus main body and a unit detachable from the apparatus main body, and a jumper wire is provided as a connecting member at a connection portion of the unit. Since the connecting portion of the apparatus main body is provided with a connecting member made of an elastic material that comes into contact with the jumper wire, the apparatus main body can be connected to the unit with a simple and inexpensive configuration. so,
The effect is great.
