Description

本発明は、ディスプレー筐体と光学ユニットとを受光軸でつないで回転可能とし、光学ユニットと下部筐体とを開閉ヒンジでつないで開閉する事を特徴とする、開閉型デジタルカメラ、又は開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末に関するものである。  The present invention relates to an open / close type digital camera or an open / close type, characterized in that a display housing and an optical unit can be connected to each other by a light receiving shaft to be rotatable, and the optical unit and a lower housing are connected to each other by an open / close hinge. The present invention relates to a camera-equipped mobile terminal.

レンズの切り替えが可能な開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末に関しては、開閉ヒンジの内部に取り付けたカメラの受光部の回りを回転する接写用レンズを有する開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末が、すでに出願されている。
特開２００４−１２９１５１号公報 With regard to a portable terminal with an open / close camera capable of switching lenses, an open / close camera portable terminal having a close-up lens that rotates around a light receiving portion of a camera mounted inside an open / close hinge has already been filed.
JP 2004-129151 A

開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末の開閉ヒンジにカメラの受光部を設け、ここにズーム機能を有する光学ユニットを取り付けた場合、収納時、ディスプレー筐体を下部筐体に閉じるだけでなく、光学ユニットを収納する操作を別個に行わねばならず、面倒である。  When the camera's light receiving unit is installed in the open / close hinge of a portable terminal with an open / close type camera, and an optical unit with a zoom function is attached here, not only the display housing is closed to the lower housing but also the optical unit is stored. The operation to be performed must be performed separately and is troublesome.

課題を解決する為の手段Means to solve the problem

本発明の、開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末はディスプレー筐体と、光学ユニットとを受光軸でつないで回転させ、さらに光学ユニットと下部筐体を開閉ヒンジでつないで開閉する。  The portable terminal with an open / close type camera of the present invention is opened and closed by connecting a display housing and an optical unit by a light receiving shaft and rotating the optical unit and a lower housing by an open / close hinge.

発明の効果The invention's effect

本発明の、開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末は、収納時にディスプレー筐体を、下部筐体に閉じるだけで、光学ユニットを収納する事ができ、別個に光学ユニットを収納する操作を必要としない。  The portable terminal with an openable camera according to the present invention can store the optical unit by simply closing the display casing to the lower casing when stored, and does not require an operation for storing the optical unit separately.

本発明を請求項６の第六発明で説明する。開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末で、ディスプレー筐体に受光軸を設け、この受光軸に被写体からの光を取り入れる受光部を、軸に直角で、ディスプレーの背面方向に設け、これをカメラの受光部とし、この受光部を有する受光軸に、切り替え可能なレンズを搭載した光学ユニットを取り付け、この光学ユニットを回転させる事で、レンズの光軸を受光部に合わせ、それにより被写体からの光を受光部に取り入れる。  The sixth aspect of the present invention will be described below. In a portable terminal with an openable camera, a light receiving axis is provided in the display housing, and a light receiving part that takes light from the subject into the light receiving axis is provided at a right angle to the axis and in the rear direction of the display, and this is used as the light receiving part of the camera. An optical unit equipped with a switchable lens is attached to the light receiving axis having the light receiving unit, and the optical unit is rotated to align the optical axis of the lens with the light receiving unit, thereby receiving light from the subject. Incorporate.

受光軸内には、被写体からの光だけでなく、ディスプレーと下部筐体の操作キーとをつなぐ配線も通さねばならない。しかし、携帯端末は薄くしたいので、軸径を大きくする事ができず、その結果、配線に使われた分だけ軸内の断面積は小さくなり、カメラの撮像ユニットも小さくなってしまう。  In the light receiving axis, not only the light from the subject but also the wiring connecting the display and the operation keys of the lower housing must be passed. However, since the portable terminal is desired to be thin, the shaft diameter cannot be increased. As a result, the cross-sectional area in the shaft is reduced by the amount used for the wiring, and the imaging unit of the camera is also reduced.

この問題を解決する為、光学ユニットと開閉ヒンジとの間に回転ヒンジを設け、ディスプレー筐体と光学ユニットとを、受光軸だけでなく、回転ヒンジでもつないで、回転ヒンジに配線を通す。配線は開閉ヒンジを経て下部筐体の操作キーにまでつなげる。  In order to solve this problem, a rotation hinge is provided between the optical unit and the opening / closing hinge, and the display casing and the optical unit are not connected to the light receiving shaft but also to the rotation hinge, and the wiring is passed through the rotation hinge. The wiring is connected to the operation keys on the lower housing via the open / close hinge.

図１は、本発明の請求項６の第六発明の実施例であって開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末のディスプレー筐体１１を閉じた状態の図である。光学ユニット２１と開閉ヒンジ２２との間に回転ヒンジ１２がある。  FIG. 1 is a view showing a sixth embodiment of the sixth aspect of the present invention in a state where the display housing 11 of the portable terminal with an openable camera is closed. There is a rotating hinge 12 between the optical unit 21 and the opening / closing hinge 22.

ディスプレー筐体１１は、回転ヒンジ１２と受光軸で光学ユニット２１につながっている。ディスプレー筐体１１は受光軸を有していて、この受光軸の中心線と回転ヒンジ１２のヒンジ軸の中心線は一致している。光学ユニット２１と下部筐体３１は開閉ヒンジ２２でつながっている。下部筐体３１は操作キーを有している。  The display housing 11 is connected to the optical unit 21 by a rotary hinge 12 and a light receiving shaft. The display housing 11 has a light receiving axis, and the center line of the light receiving axis coincides with the center line of the hinge axis of the rotary hinge 12. The optical unit 21 and the lower housing 31 are connected by an opening / closing hinge 22. The lower housing 31 has operation keys.

光学ユニット２１は、１倍レンズ２３を有していて、図１の状態では受光軸の受光部には１倍レンズ２３から入った光が入っている。  The optical unit 21 has a 1 × lens 23. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the light received from the 1 × lens 23 enters the light receiving portion of the light receiving shaft.

図２は、図１と同一の開閉型カメラ付き携帯端末のディスプレー筐体１１を開いて９０度右に回転させた状態のもので光学ユニット２１の有する広角レンズ２４の光軸の１８０度反対側は４倍レンズとなっており、図２では４倍レンズが使用可能となっている。  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the display casing 11 of the portable terminal with the open / close camera same as FIG. 1 is opened and rotated to the right by 90 degrees, and is 180 degrees opposite to the optical axis of the wide-angle lens 24 of the optical unit 21. Is a 4 × lens, and in FIG. 2 a 4 × lens can be used.
