Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電子機器、詳しくは、電池やメモリカード等のアクセサリを収容するアクセサリ収容室にアクセサリとの接触電気接片(接触片)を有する電子機器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、被写体像をCCD等の固体撮像素子を用いて撮像して光電変換し、該固体撮像素子から出力される画像データをデジタル信号に変換して各種処理を行った後、カメラ内に備えられた固定式または着脱式の記憶素子(メディア)にデジタル画像データとして記憶する電子機器、所謂デジタルカメラが周知である。
【0003】
また、このようなデジタルカメラにおいては、該デジタルカメラの筐体内に配設された、例えば電池等のアクセサリを収容するアクセサリ収容室に該アクセサリの電極と接触するための接触電気接片が配置されており、この接触電気接片がアクセサリ収容室に収納されたアクセサリの電極に接触することで、同アクセサリの電力をデジタルカメラに供給するようになっている。
【0004】
このようなアクセサリとの接触接片を有する電子機器は、例えば特許文献1に開示されており、リチャージブル電池の外形面の一方と他方に形成された電極(正極及び負極)に、電池収容室内及び収容室蓋にそれぞれ設けられた接触接片が接触することにより、同電池の電力を電子機器に供給するようになっている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開平11−183984号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、撮像された画像データをメディアに記録中等に、デジタルカメラ本体を机の上に乱暴に置くこと等によって、デジタルカメラの高さ方向に振動が発生すると、接触接片がアクセサリの電極に対してチャタリングを発生してしまい、メディアに正しく画像データが記録されず、画像データが失われてしまう虞がある。このことは上記特許文献1では、何ら考慮がなされていない。
【0007】
本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、アクセサリ収容室に収容したアクセサリに対して、該アクセサリの電極とのチャタリングリング等による接触不良を防止することができるアクセサリとの接触電気接片を有する電子機器を提供するにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段、及び作用】
上記の目的を達成するために本発明によるアクセサリとの接触片を有する電子機器は、接点が二つの外形面に設けられたアクセサリを用いる電子機器であって、上記アクセサリの上記二つの外形面の一方の外形面に設けられた接点に接触する第1の接触部と上記二つの外形面の他方の外形面に設けられた接点に接触する第2の接触部とが一体的に設けられた接触片を有することを特徴とし、また、上記接触片の上記第1の接触部と上記第2の接触部は、互いに略直交する方向に変位可能なことを特徴とし、さらに、上記第1の接触部は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向に変位可能であり、上記第2の接触部は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向に対し略直交する方向に変位可能であることを特徴とし、また、上記第1の接触部は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向の該アクセサリを排出する方向に同アクセサリを付勢することを特徴とする。
【0009】
また、本発明によるアクセサリとの接触片を有する電子機器は、アクセサリの二つの外形面に設けられた接点に接触する接触片を有する電子機器であって、
上記アクセサリの上記二つの外形面の一方の外形面に設けられた接点に接触する第1の接触片と上記二つの外形面の他方の外形面に設けられた接点に接触する第2の接触片とが設けられたことを特徴とし、また、上記第1の接触片と上記第2の接触片は、互いに略直交する方向に変位することを特徴とし、さらに、上記第1の接触片は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向に変位可能であり、上記第2の接触片は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向に対し略直交する方向に変位可能であることを特徴とし、また、上記第1の接触片と上記第2の接触片は、一体的に形成されていることを特徴とし、さらに、上記第1の接触片は、上記アクセサリの挿抜方向の該アクセサリを排出する方向に同アクセサリを付勢することを特徴とする。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図示の実施の形態によって本発明を説明する。尚、本実施の形態においては電子機器はデジタル一眼レフカメラを、アクセサリはリチャージブル電池(電池パック)を例に挙げて説明する。また、カメラの高さ方向を電池の挿抜方向と規定する。
【0011】
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態を示したものであって、リチャージブル電池との接触片を有するデジタル一眼レフカメラの本体及び同本体に挿抜可能なリチャージブル電池を前方右斜め下方からみた斜視図である。
【0012】
図1に示すように、デジタル一眼レフカメラ60の本体(以下、カメラ本体と称す)1の前面略中央部には、交換レンズを装着するためのマウント取付部7が前方に突出して形成されており、該マウント取付部7の前面7aには、マウント面2aを有する円環状のマウント部2が、ビス3により固定されている。
【0013】
そして、マウント取付部7の一側方であって、カメラ本体1の左端部(図1において)には、撮影の際に撮影者がカメラ本体1を支持するためのグリップ部4が形成されており、該グリップ部4の内部には、該グリップ部4の底面に電池挿抜用開口部10Aを有し、後述するリチャージブル電池(以下、電池と称す)25が収容される電池収容室10が形成されている。さらに、グリップ部4の開口部10Aの周縁部の一側には、同開口部10Aを封止する電池蓋11が開閉自在に取り付けられている。
【0014】
上記電池25は、直方体形状を有しており、例えば一方の外形面(外形表面)である上面25aには、電池挿抜方向に略直交する方向に沿って、負極21a,サーミスタ用電極22a,正極23aがそれぞれ並設されており、また、例えば他方の外形面(外形表面)である一側面25bには、電池挿抜方向に沿って、負極21b、サーミスタ用電極22b、正極23bがそれぞれ並設されている。さらに、その他の外形面の一つの面25cには、電池の挿抜方向の挿入側の縁部から電池挿抜方向に沿って、断面形状が半円状の充電器差し込み用凹部27が形成されている。
【0015】
上記負極(接点)21a,21b、サーミスタ用電極(接点)22a,22b、正極(接点)23a,23bは、それぞれ外形面25aと25bの2面にまたがるL字状に形成されて負極21,サーミスタ用電極22,正極23を構成しており、さらに、該負極21,該サーミスタ用電極22,該正極23は、後述する3個の接触片14(図2参照)にそれぞれ接触する電極(接点)24を構成している。
【0016】
尚、以降の説明では、簡略のため、一方の外形面25aの電池挿抜方向に略直交する方向に沿って形成された3つの電極(負極21a,サーミスタ22a,正極23a)を電極(接点)24aで代表し、他方の外形面25bの電池挿抜方向に沿って形成された電極(負極21b,サーミスタ22b,正極23b)を電極(接点)24bで代表するものとする。
【0017】
図2は、図1の電池収容室10を抽出して示した断面図、図3は、図2の電池収容室10に電池25を収容した状態を示す断面図、図4は、電池25の電極24に接触片が接触している状態を示す図3の部分拡大斜視図である。
【0018】
図2に示すように、電池収容室10の天井面10Bには、全体が短冊状の弾性板体で形成され、先端部が二股のフォーク状に形成された電気接片(以下、接触片と称す)14の基端部14Cがビス19により固定されている。
【0019】
接触片14は、ビス19を挿通するための取付用孔部14c(図4参照)が形成され、電池収容室10の天井面10Bと対向する取付面を有する基端部14Cと、基端部14Cの後端から上方に延出するように形成され、半田により図示しない基板から延出したリード線13が取り付けられるリード線取付部14Dと、基端部14Cから前方に延出した胴部14Eと、該胴部14Eの前端からフォーク状に延出した第1のフォーク部14A及び第2のフォーク部14Bで構成された先端部とによって、その主要部が構成されている。尚、基端部14C、リード線取付部14D、胴部14E、第1のフォーク部14A及び第2のフォーク部14Bは、ばね材である一枚の弾性板体から形成されている。
【0020】
第1のフォーク部14Aの先端部には、電池25の一方の外形面25aに形成された電極24aに接触する、円弧状に湾曲した第1の接触部14aが形成されており、また、第2のフォーク部14Bの先端部には、電池25の他方の外形面25bに形成された電極24bに接触する、円弧状に湾曲した第2の接触部14bが形成されている。
【0021】
第1のフォーク14Aは、電池25の挿抜方向に電池25を付勢するため、胴部14Eの一端から分岐し、胴部14Eと共に折り曲げの程度が大きいくの字の一部を形成し、第2のフォーク部14Bは、電池25の挿抜方向と略直交する方向に電池25を付勢するため、胴部14Eの同じく上記一端から分岐し、胴部14Eと共に折り曲げの程度が小さいくの字の一部を形成している。よって、第1のフォーク部の第1の接触部14aと、第2のフォーク部の第2の接触部14bは、互いに略直交する方向に変位可能であり、つまり第1の接触部14aは、電池の挿抜方向に変位可能であり、第2の接触部14bは、電池の挿抜方向に対し直交する方向に変位可能である。
【0022】
このように形成された接触片14が天井面10Bにビス19で固定された電池収容室10に、電池25が挿入され、電池蓋11が閉成された状態を、図3、図4に示す。接触片14の第1の接触部14aは、電池25の電極24aに接触し、電池の挿抜方向の電池排出方向α’に該電池25を付勢する。
【0023】
従来は、図5に示すように、電池250を電気接片120に接触させて電池収容室100内に収容した際には、電池収容室100の天井面に配設された押圧バネ140により、電池250の上面を電池の挿抜方向の電池排出方向に付勢するようにしていたが、本実施の形態では、接触片14が押圧バネを兼用するため、該押圧バネを配設する必要が無い。
【0024】
また、電池収容室10に電池25が挿入され、電池蓋11が閉成されると、接触片14の第2の接触部14bは電池25の電極24bに接触する。これにより、図4に示すように、電池25の電極24は、2つの面の電極(24a,24b)で、接触片14の接触部(14a,14b)と接触する。
【0025】
このように、電池25の電極24aを、接触片14の第1の接触部14aに接触させ、第1のフォーク部14Aを電池の挿抜方向の挿入側αに付勢すると、接触片14のフォーク部には、シーソの原理によって第2のフォーク部14Bの第2の接触部14bに、電池の挿抜方向と略直交する方向βに、電池25を電池収容室10の内側面に付勢する力が働く。
【0026】
このことにより、接触片14の第1の接触部14aが電池25を電池の挿抜方向の電池排出方向に付勢する力が大きくなり、また、接触片14の第2の接触部14bが電池25を電池の挿抜方向の略直交する方向に付勢する力が大きくなるため、第1の接触部14aと電極24a、第2の接触部14bと電極24bの接触圧が増える。よって、電池の挿抜方向の振動に対しては、チャタリングの発生を第1の接触部14aが防止し、電池の挿抜方向に対し略直交する方向の振動に対しては、チャタリングの発生を第2の接触部14bが防止する。
【0027】
上述したように、本発明の第1の実施形態では、電池25をカメラ本体に形成された電池収容室10に収容した際、電池25の一方の外形面25aに設けられた電極24aと接触する第1の接触部14a、及び電池25の他方の外形面25bに設けられた電極24bと接触する第2の接触部14bを有する接触片14を電池収容室10内に配設し、接触片14を電池25の2つの電極24a,24bに接触するようにした。
【0028】
よって、例えば、撮像された画像データをメディアに記録中に、デジタルカメラ本体を机の上に乱暴に置く等して、デジタルカメラの高さ方向及び横方向に振動が発生したとしても、電池25は、接触片14により電池の挿抜方向、及び電池の挿抜方向に対し直交する方向に付勢されていることにより、接触片が電池の電極を摺動しても、接触片が電極から離間せず、振動によるチャタリングの発生を抑制することができる。
【0029】
また、接触片14の第1の接触部14aが電池25を電池の挿抜方向の電池排出方向に付勢しているため、電池収容室10内に押圧バネを配設する必要がない。さらに、接触片14の第2の接触部14bが電池の挿抜方向の略直交する方向に電池25を付勢しているので、第1の接触部14aと電極24a、第2の接触部14bと電極24bの接触圧が増え、電池25を電池収容室10内に、確実に固定することができる。
【0030】
尚、本実施の形態においては、電極24を形成する電池25の一方の外形面を25a、他方の外形面を25bとしたが、これに限らず、隣り合う面であれば、電極24を電池25のどの面に形成しても良い。この場合、接触片14は、電極24が形成された位置に応じて、電池収容室10内の電極24と接触可能な位置に配設すれば良い。
【0031】
また、簡略のため、一方の外形面25aの電池挿抜方向に略直交する方向に沿って形成された3つの電極(負極21a,サーミスタ用電極22a,正極23a)を電極24a、他方の外形面25bの電池挿抜方向に沿って形成された電極(負極21b,サーミスタ用電極22b,正極23b)を電極24bと称し、この電極24a,24bに、第1実施形態においては、接触片14の第1の接触部14a,第2の接触部14bが接触するようにしたが、実際は、接触片14は、電池収容室10に3個、配設されており、3個の各第1の接触部14aは、それぞれ負極21a,サーミスタ用電極22a,正極23aと接触し、3個の各第2の接触部14bは、それぞれ負極21b,サーミスタ用電極22b,正極23bと接触している。
【0032】
さらに、第1の接触部14a,第2の接触部14bは、フォーク部の先端部に円弧状に湾曲して形成したが、これに限らず、電極24にそれぞれ接触、付勢でき、電極面を傷つけない形状であれば、どのような形状で、フォーク部のどのような位置に形成されていても構わない。
【0033】
図6,図7は、本発明の第2の実施形態を示したものであって、図6は、リチャージブル電池との接触片を有するデジタル一眼レフカメラ本体の電池収容室を示した断面図、図7は、電池の電極に接触片が接触している状態を示す要部拡大斜視図である。
【0034】
この第2の実施形態のリチャージブル電池との接触電気片を有するデジタル一眼レフカメラの構成は、前記図1乃至図4に示した第1実施形態のリチャージブル電池との接触電気接片を有するデジタル一眼レフカメラと殆ど同じであるが、本実施の形態では、第1の接触部14aと第2の接触部14bは、接触片14として一体に形成されていない点が異なる。よって、この相違点のみを説明し、第1実施形態と同様の構成には同じ符号を付し、その説明は省略する。
【0035】
図6に示すように、デジタル一眼レフカメラ200の電池収容室30の、電池の挿抜方向と略直交する方向の内壁面には、後述する第1の接触片34、及び第2の接触片35が挿通する挿通孔30Bが形成されている。
【0036】
また、電池収容室30の電池の挿抜方向と略直交する方向の内壁面の外側には、カメラ本体50の図示しない内部に固定されている基板37が配設されており、該基板37には、電池収容室30の挿通孔30Bに挿通された第1の接触片34と第2の接触片35の基端部がそれぞれ固定されている。
【0037】
第1の接触片34は、円弧状に形成された先端部34aが図7に示すように電池25の一方の外形面(上面)25aに沿って形成された電極24aに接触する全体が弾性板体で形成されている。
【0038】
第2の接触片35は、基板37の接触片34の基端部よりも電池の排出方向側に配設されていて、円弧状に形成された先端部35aが図7に示すように電池25の他方の外形面の一つの面25bに沿って形成された電極24bに接触する全体が弾性板体で形成されている。よって、基板37には、第1の接触片34と、第2の接触片35とが別個に固定されている。
【0039】
第1の接触片34の先端部34aと第2の接触片35の先端部35aは、互いに略直交する方向に変位可能であり、つまり、第1の接触片34の先端部34aは電池の挿抜方向に変位可能であり、第2の接触片35の先端部35aは電池の挿抜方向に対し直交する方向に変位可能である。
【0040】
このように挿通孔30Bから第1の接触片34、第2の接触片35が挿通された電池収容室30に電池25が挿入され、電池蓋31が閉成された状態が、図6に示す状態であり、第1の接触片34の先端部34aは、電池25の電極24aに接触し、電池の挿抜方向の電池を排出する方向に該電池25を付勢する。よって、本実施の形態でも、第1の接触片34が押圧バネを兼用するため、該押圧バネを電池収容室30内に配設する必要が無い。
【0041】
また、電池収容室30に電池25が挿入され、電池蓋31が閉成されると、第2の接触片35の先端部35aは、電池25の電極24bに接触する。これにより、図7に示すように、電池25の電極24は、2つの電極(24a,24b)面に、それぞれ第1の接触片34の先端部34a、第2の接触片35の先端部35aが接触する。
【0042】
よって、電池の挿抜方向の振動に対しては、チャタリングの発生を第1の接触片34の先端部34aが防止し、電池の挿抜方向に対し略直交する方向の振動に対しては、チャタリングの発生を第2の接触片35の先端部35aが防止する。
【0043】
このように本発明の第2実施の形態でも、電池25をカメラ本体に形成された電池収容室30に収容した際、電池25の一方の外形面25aに沿った電極24aと接触する第1の接触片34の先端部34a、及び電池25の他方の外形面25bに沿った電極24bと接触する第2の接触片35の先端部35aを、電池収容室30に該電池収容室30外から挿通し、電池25の2つの電極面にそれぞれ別個に接触するようにした。
【0044】
従って、この第2の実施形態によっても前記第1の実施形態と同様の効果を奏することができる。
【0045】
尚、この第2実施の形態においては、接触片は、基板37に別個に固定するようにしたが、これに限らず、図8に示すように、電池25の一方の外形面25aに沿って形成された電極24aに接触する円弧状の先端部74aが形成された第1の接触片74Aと、電池25の他方の外形面25bに沿って形成された電極24bに接触する円弧状の先端部74bが形成された第2の接触片74Bとが、第1実施の形態に示したように接触片74として一体に形成され、該接触片74の基端部74Cが基板37に固定されていても良い。
【0046】
また、電極24が形成される、電池25の一方の外形面を25a、他方の外形面を25bとしたが、これに限らず、隣り合う面であれば、電極24を電池25のどの面に形成しても良い。この場合、第1の接触片34,第2の接触片35は、電極24が形成された位置に応じて、電池収容室30内の電極24と接触可能な位置に、電池収容室30外の基板37から挿通すれば良い。
【0047】
さらに、この第2の実施形態においても、簡略のため、一方の外形面25aの電池挿抜方向に略直交する方向に沿って形成された3つの電極(負極21a,サーミスタ用電極22a,正極23a)を電極24a、他方の外形面25bの電池挿抜方向に沿って形成された電極(負極21b,サーミスタ用電極22b,正極23b)を電極24bと称し、この電極24a,24bに、第2実施形態においては、第1の接触片34の先端部34a,第2の接触片35の先端部35aが接触するようにしたが、これも、実際は、第1の接触片34の先端部34a,第2の接触片35の先端部35aは、それぞれ3個、計6つの先端部が電池収容室30内に該電池収容室30外の基板37から挿通されており、3つの第1の接触片34の先端部34aは、それぞれ負極21a,サーミスタ用電極22a,正極23aと接触し、3つの第2の接触片35の先端部35aは、それぞれ負極21b,サーミスタ用電極22b,正極23bと接触している。
【0048】
さらに、第1の接触片34の先端部34a,第2の接触片35の先端部35aは、第1の接触片34及び第2の接触片35に円弧状に湾曲して形成したが、これに限らず、電極24にそれぞれ接触、付勢でき、電極24を傷つけない形状であれば、どのような形状で、接触片のどのような位置に形成されていても構わない。
【0049】
また、第1,第2実施の形態においては、電子機器は、デジタル一眼レフカメラを例に挙げたが、通常のデジタルカメラに用いても良いことは云うまでもない。
【0050】
さらに、第1,第2実施の形態においては、アクセサリは、リチャージブル電池を例に挙げて説明したが、本発明はこれに限らず、電子機器に挿抜自在な接点が露出しているカード形状の記憶用メディアおよびその他の付属品などに適用しても良いことは勿論である。
【0051】
【発明の効果】
以上、述べたように本発明によれば、アクセサリ収容室に収容したアクセサリに対して、該アクセサリの電極とのチャタリング等による接触不良を防止することができる接触電気片を有する電子機器を提供することができる。

2 is a sectional view showing the battery housing chamber 10 extracted from FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a state in which the battery 25 is housed in the battery housing chamber 10 in FIG. 2, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged perspective view of FIG. 3 showing a state in which a contact piece is in contact with an electrode 24.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 2, an electric contact piece (hereinafter referred to as a contact piece) formed on the ceiling surface 10 </ b> B of the battery housing chamber 10 is formed of a strip-shaped elastic plate body and has a bifurcated fork at the tip. The base end portion 14C of 14 is fixed by screws 19.
[0019]
The contact piece 14 is formed with a mounting hole portion 14c (see FIG. 4) through which the screw 19 is inserted, and has a base end portion 14C having a mounting surface facing the ceiling surface 10B of the battery housing chamber 10, and a base end portion. A lead wire attachment portion 14D formed to extend upward from the rear end of 14C and to which a lead wire 13 extending from a substrate (not shown) is attached by solder, and a body portion 14E extending forward from the base end portion 14C. And the main part is comprised by the front-end | tip part comprised by 14 A of 1st fork parts and the 2nd fork part 14B which were extended in the fork shape from the front end of this trunk | drum 14E. The base end portion 14C, the lead wire mounting portion 14D, the body portion 14E, the first fork portion 14A, and the second fork portion 14B are formed from a single elastic plate that is a spring material.
[0020]
A first contact portion 14a curved in an arc shape is formed at the tip of the first fork portion 14A so as to contact the electrode 24a formed on one outer surface 25a of the battery 25. A second contact portion 14b curved in an arc shape is formed at the tip of the second fork portion 14B so as to contact the electrode 24b formed on the other outer surface 25b of the battery 25.
[0021]
The first fork 14A branches from one end of the body part 14E in order to urge the battery 25 in the insertion / extraction direction of the battery 25, and forms a part of a dogleg with a large degree of bending together with the body part 14E. The second fork portion 14B is branched from the one end of the trunk portion 14E in order to urge the battery 25 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the insertion / extraction direction of the battery 25, and is bent with a small degree of bending together with the trunk portion 14E.

Therefore, the first contact portion 14a of the first fork portion and the second contact portion 14b of the second fork portion can be displaced in directions substantially orthogonal to each other, that is, the first contact portion 14a is The second contact portion 14b can be displaced in a direction orthogonal to the battery insertion / removal direction.
[0022]
FIGS. 3 and 4 show a state in which the battery 25 is inserted and the battery lid 11 is closed in the battery housing chamber 10 in which the contact piece 14 formed in this manner is fixed to the ceiling surface 10B with screws 19. . The first contact portion 14a of the contact piece 14 contacts the electrode 24a of the battery 25 and urges the battery 25 in the battery discharge direction α ′ in the battery insertion / removal direction.
[0023]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, when the battery 250 is brought into contact with the electrical contact piece 120 and accommodated in the battery accommodating chamber 100, the pressing spring 140 disposed on the ceiling surface of the battery accommodating chamber 100 Although the upper surface of the battery 250 is urged in the battery discharge direction of the battery insertion / removal direction, in the present embodiment, the contact piece 14 also serves as a pressure spring, and therefore it is not necessary to dispose the pressure spring. .
[0024]
When the battery 25 is inserted into the battery housing chamber 10 and the battery lid 11 is closed, the second contact portion 14 b of the contact piece 14 comes into contact with the electrode 24 b of the battery 25. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the electrode 24 of the battery 25 is in contact with the contact portions (14a, 14b) of the contact piece 14 by the electrodes (24a, 24b) on the two surfaces.
[0025]
In this way, when the electrode 24a of the battery 25 is brought into contact with the first contact portion 14a of the contact piece 14 and the first fork portion 14A is biased toward the insertion side α in the battery insertion / removal direction, the fork of the contact piece 14 is obtained.

[0026]
Accordingly, the force by which the first contact portion 14a of the contact piece 14 urges the battery 25 in the battery discharge direction of the battery insertion / extraction direction is increased, and the second contact portion 14b of the contact piece 14 is increased by the battery 25. Is increased in the direction substantially perpendicular to the battery insertion / removal direction, so that the contact pressure between the first contact portion 14a and the electrode 24a and the second contact portion 14b and the electrode 24b increases. Therefore, the first contact portion 14a prevents chattering from occurring in the battery insertion / removal direction, and the chattering occurrence is second from the vibration in a direction substantially perpendicular to the battery insertion / removal direction. This is prevented by the contact portion 14b.
[0027]
As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the battery 25 is housed in the battery housing chamber 10 formed in the camera body, it contacts the electrode 24a provided on the one outer surface 25a of the battery 25.

[0028]
Therefore, for example, even if vibration is generated in the height direction and the lateral direction of the digital camera by, for example, placing the digital camera body roughly on the desk while recording the captured image data on the medium, the battery 25 Is urged by the contact piece 14 in the battery insertion / removal direction and the direction perpendicular to the battery insertion / removal direction, so that even if the contact piece slides on the battery electrode, the contact piece is separated from the electrode. Therefore, the occurrence of chattering due to vibration can be suppressed.
[0029]
Further, since the first contact portion 14a of the contact piece 14 urges the battery 25 in the battery discharge direction of the battery insertion / extraction direction, there is no need to provide a pressing spring in the battery housing chamber 10. Further, since the second contact portion 14b of the contact piece 14 urges the battery 25 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the battery insertion / removal direction, the first contact portion 14a, the electrode 24a, the second contact portion 14b, The contact pressure of the electrode 24b increases, and the battery 25 can be reliably fixed in the battery housing chamber 10.
[0030]
In the present embodiment, one outer surface of the battery 25 forming the electrode 24 is 25a and the other outer surface is 25b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be formed on any surface of 25. In this case, the contact piece 14 may be disposed at a position where it can come into contact with the electrode 24 in the battery housing chamber 10 according to the position where the electrode 24 is formed.
[0031]
For the sake of simplicity, three electrodes (a negative electrode 21a, a thermistor electrode 22a, and a positive electrode 23a) formed along a direction substantially perpendicular to the battery insertion / extraction direction of one outer surface 25a are used as the electrode 24a, and the other outer surface 25b. The electrodes (the negative electrode 21b, the thermistor electrode 22b, and the positive electrode 23b) formed along the battery insertion / removal direction are referred to as electrodes 24b. The electrodes 24a and 24b are connected to the first contact piece 14 in the first embodiment. Although the contact portion 14a and the second contact portion 14b are in contact with each other, actually, three contact pieces 14 are arranged in the battery housing chamber 10, and each of the three first contact portions 14a is The three second contact portions 14b are in contact with the negative electrode 21b, the thermistor electrode 22b, and the positive electrode 23b, respectively, in contact with the negative electrode 21a, the thermistor electrode 22a, and the positive electrode 23a.
[0032]
Furthermore, although the first contact portion 14a and the second contact portion 14b are formed to be curved in a circular arc shape at the tip portion of the fork portion, the present invention is not limited to this, and can contact and urge the electrode 24, respectively, As long as the shape does not hurt, the fork portion may be formed in any shape.
