JP 2006-157795 A (paragraphs 0017, 0020, 0021, FIG. 4) JP 2004-165851 A (Claim 1, paragraphs 0016 to 0018, 0021, FIGS. 2 to 5)

ところで、特許文献１や特許文献２のように、カバー側の係合部を機器ケース側の係合部に係合させる構成の場合、係合状態での保持力を大きくするためには、係合部の引掛り量（係合部のフックの深さ）を多くとることが望ましい。
しかし、エラストマーは、機器ケースによく使用されている、ポリカーボネートやポリカＡＢＳ、ＡＢＳ、ガラスファイバー入りナイロンなどの樹脂に対して潤滑性が悪いため、係合部の引掛り量を多くすると、開口部へのカバーの嵌め込みが困難になったり、カバー側の係合部が磨耗する、などの不都合がある。
他方、係合部の引掛り量を少なくすると、係合部の幅を幅広にしなければならないが、機器ケースの厚みという制約があるので、事実上、困難となる。
また、カバーの保持力（カバーが開口部に嵌った状態を保持する力）が弱いと、機器の落下などにより、カバーを機器ケースから引き剥がす方向の外力が掛かると、カバーが開口部から外れたり浮き上がったりする危険性がある。 By the way, in the case of a configuration in which the cover side engaging portion is engaged with the device case side engaging portion as in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, in order to increase the holding force in the engaged state, It is desirable to increase the amount of hooking of the joint (the depth of the hook of the engaging portion).
However, since the elastomer has poor lubricity against resins such as polycarbonate, polycarbonate ABS, ABS, and glass fiber nylon, which are often used in equipment cases, if the amount of engagement is increased, the opening There are inconveniences such as difficulty in fitting the cover to the cover and wear of the engaging portion on the cover side.
On the other hand, if the engagement amount of the engaging portion is reduced, the width of the engaging portion must be widened, but this is practically difficult because of the restriction of the thickness of the device case.
Also, if the cover holding force (force that keeps the cover fitted in the opening) is weak, the cover will come off the opening when an external force is applied in the direction of peeling the cover from the device case due to the device falling. There is a risk of floating.

本発明の課題は、エラストマー製のカバーの係合部の引掛り量を多くとることができる携帯電子機器を提供することである。   The subject of this invention is providing the portable electronic device which can take much the amount of engagement of the engaging part of the cover made from an elastomer.

以上の課題を解決するため、請求項１に記載の発明は、機器ケースの側面に形成された開口を覆うエラストマー製のカバーが備えられ、前記機器ケースに、前記カバーを前記開口に嵌めた際にその状態を維持するための係合部が設けられる携帯電子機器であって、前記機器ケースの前記係合部を、当該機器ケースよりも潤滑性のある別部材で構成したことを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is provided with an elastomer cover that covers an opening formed on a side surface of the device case, and when the cover is fitted to the opening in the device case. The portable electronic device is provided with an engagement portion for maintaining the state of the device case, wherein the engagement portion of the device case is formed of another member having lubricity than the device case. .

請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の携帯電子機器であって、前記カバーには前記開口内に嵌合する防水パッキンが設けられていることを特徴とする。   A second aspect of the present invention is the portable electronic device according to the first aspect, wherein the cover is provided with a waterproof packing that fits into the opening.

本発明によれば、機器ケースの係合部が、当該機器ケースよりも潤滑性のある別部材で構成されているので、エラストマー製のカバーに対する係合部の引掛り量を多くとることができる。従って、カバーの保持力を向上できる。   According to the present invention, since the engaging portion of the device case is formed of a separate member that is more lubricious than the device case, it is possible to increase the amount of engagement of the engaging portion with respect to the elastomer cover. . Therefore, the holding force of the cover can be improved.

以下、図を参照して本発明を実施するための最良の形態を詳細に説明する。

The first housing 1 is formed by combining the lower case 11, the upper case 12, and the middle case 13 with screws or the like. Configured. A battery lid 14 integrated with the battery pack is attached to the battery pack opening of the lower case 11.
And the connector 7 for communication cables is assembled | attached to the opening part 13a for connectors formed in the one end part of the longitudinal direction of the middle case 13. FIG. The middle case 13 is made of a material having high mechanical strength, for example, glass-filled nylon (trademark). In addition, polycarbonate, ABS, polycarbonate ABS, or the like is also used as the material for the middle case 13.

コネクタカバー５は、図６に示すように、カバー部５１及びパッキン固定部５２からなり、パッキン固定部５２に防水パッキンであるコネクタパッキン５３を備えている。
カバー部５１はエラストマー素材、例えばポリエステル系のエラストマー（例えば商品名；ハイトレル）により形成されている。パッキン固定部５２はポリカーボネート等の熱可塑性樹脂により形成されている。このパッキン固定部５２を覆うようにカバー部５１が一体成型されている。コネクタパッキン５３はシリコンゴムによりステンレス板５４を一体成型したもので、図示のように、パッキン固定部５２にネジ止めして取り付けられている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the connector cover 5 includes a cover portion 51 and a packing fixing portion 52, and the packing fixing portion 52 includes a connector packing 53 that is a waterproof packing.
The cover 51 is formed of an elastomer material, for example, a polyester-based elastomer (for example, trade name: Hytrel). The packing fixing part 52 is formed of a thermoplastic resin such as polycarbonate. A cover portion 51 is integrally molded so as to cover the packing fixing portion 52. The connector packing 53 is formed by integrally molding a stainless steel plate 54 with silicon rubber, and is attached to the packing fixing portion 52 with screws as shown in the figure.

また、中ケース１３のコネクタ用開口部１３ａの左右両側方には、コネクタカバー５を装着状態に保持するための係合部をなす左右一対のフック８が組み付けられている。フック８は潤滑性のある（表面が滑りやすい）エラストマー素材、例えばポリアセタール系の樹脂ＰＯＭ（ポリオキシメチレン）により形成されている。   In addition, a pair of left and right hooks 8 that are engaging portions for holding the connector cover 5 in the mounted state are assembled to the left and right sides of the connector opening 13 a of the middle case 13. The hook 8 is formed of an elastomer material having lubricity (slippery surface), for example, a polyacetal resin POM (polyoxymethylene).

そして、コネクタカバー５の短手方向一端部の下辺部には、下ケース１１と中ケース１３との間に組み込まれる枠状の連結片を構成する左右一対の延出片５５及びその先端間の連続片５６が備えられている。すなわち、カバー部５１の下辺部に左右一対の延出片５５及びその先端間の連続片５６からなる枠状の連結片を薄肉状に一体形成している。また、延出片５５は連続片５６が低く位置するよう折れ曲がり形状となっている（図８参照）。
さらに、カバー部５１の長手方向両端部の左右両側部に係合部をなす一対の係止片５７が突出して一体形成されておりこの係止片５７の外側面の先端に係止突部５８が形成されている。
なお、係止片５７の内側面には、パッキン固定部５２の左右両側部から突出して一体形成されたバックアップ部５９が位置しており、このバックアップ部５９により係止片５７が補強されている。 A pair of left and right extending pieces 55 constituting a frame-like connecting piece incorporated between the lower case 11 and the middle case 13 and a front end of the connector cover 5 are arranged at the lower side of one end in the short direction. A continuous piece 56 is provided. That is, a frame-like connecting piece comprising a pair of left and right extending pieces 55 and a continuous piece 56 between the ends thereof is integrally formed in a thin shape on the lower side of the cover portion 51. Further, the extending piece 55 is bent so that the continuous piece 56 is positioned low (see FIG. 8).
Further, a pair of locking pieces 57 that form engaging portions protrudes and is integrally formed on the left and right sides of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the cover portion 51, and the locking protrusions 58 are formed at the distal ends of the outer surfaces of the locking pieces 57. Is formed.
A backup portion 59 that is integrally formed so as to protrude from the left and right side portions of the packing fixing portion 52 is located on the inner surface of the locking piece 57, and the locking piece 57 is reinforced by the backup portion 59. .

また、下ケース１１のコネクタカバー装着部には、図７に示すように、コネクタカバー５の一対の延出片５５の間に位置するリブ１５が一体形成されている。
そして、中ケース１３のコネクタカバー装着部には、コネクタカバー５の一対の延出片５５及び連続片５６を収容する凹部１６が形成されるとともに、その左右両側方に離れた部分には一対のボス１７が一体化して備えられている。このボス１７にフック８が組み付けられる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a rib 15 located between the pair of extending pieces 55 of the connector cover 5 is integrally formed in the connector cover mounting portion of the lower case 11.
The connector cover mounting portion of the inner case 13 is formed with a recess 16 that accommodates the pair of extending pieces 55 and the continuous piece 56 of the connector cover 5, and a pair of portions separated on the left and right sides thereof. A boss 17 is integrally provided. The hook 8 is assembled to the boss 17.

フック８には、中央に圧入穴８１が形成されて、外周に係止突部８２が形成されている。
すなわち、フック８は、ボス１７を圧入穴８１に圧入して、内側に係止突部８２を向けて取り付けられている。なお、フック８は、中ケース１３に一体形成されたストッパ１８に外周面が当たって、外側に回転しないよう回転止めがなされている。 The hook 8 is formed with a press-fitting hole 81 in the center and a locking projection 82 on the outer periphery.
That is, the hook 8 is attached with the boss 17 being press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 81 and the locking projection 82 facing the inside. The hook 8 is prevented from rotating so that the outer peripheral surface abuts against a stopper 18 integrally formed with the middle case 13 and does not rotate outward.

以上の折り畳み式携帯電話機における第一の筐体１において、中ケース１３のコネクタカバー装着部の凹部１６に、コネクタカバー５の下辺部に備えた左右一対の延出片５５及び連続片５６を収容した状態で、下ケース１１を中ケース１３にネジ止めする。また、上ケース１２も中ケース１３にネジ止めする。
そして、コネクタカバー５の左右両側部に備えた一対の係止片５７を、中ケース１３のコネクタ用開口部１３ａの左右両側方に挿入する。
以上によるコネクタカバー５の装着状態を図８及び図９に示した。 In the first casing 1 of the above foldable mobile phone, the pair of left and right extending pieces 55 and the continuous piece 56 provided on the lower side of the connector cover 5 are accommodated in the recess 16 of the connector cover mounting portion of the middle case 13. In this state, the lower case 11 is screwed to the middle case 13. The upper case 12 is also screwed to the middle case 13.
Then, the pair of locking pieces 57 provided on the left and right sides of the connector cover 5 are inserted into the left and right sides of the connector opening 13 a of the middle case 13.
The mounting state of the connector cover 5 as described above is shown in FIGS.

コネクタカバー５は、装着状態において、中ケース１３のコネクタ用開口部１３ａに、図８に示したように、コネクタパッキン５３が嵌合しているとともに、下辺部の左右の延出片５５間の連続片５６が、凹部１６内で下ケース１１のリブ１５の奥方に位置している。そして、左右両側部の係止片５７の外側面先端の係止突部５８が、フック８の係止突部８２をそれぞれ乗り越えて係止状態となっている。これによりコネクタカバー５の開放が防止される。
この状態で、例えばコネクタカバー５の下面を手指で押し上げようとしても、、コネクタカバー５の一対の延出片５５の先端部を連結している連続片５６が下ケース１１のリブ１５に引っ掛かり、延出片５５を引き出すことが出来ないので、左右両側部における係止突部５８・８２が係止状態に保持される。つまり、コネクタカバー５は下面側からは開放不可能となっている。 In the mounted state, the connector cover 5 is fitted with the connector packing 53 in the connector opening 13a of the middle case 13 as shown in FIG. 8, and between the left and right extending pieces 55. The continuous piece 56 is located behind the rib 15 of the lower case 11 in the recess 16. Then, the locking projections 58 at the distal end of the outer surface of the locking pieces 57 on both the left and right sides are over the locking projections 82 of the hooks 8 and are locked. Thereby, opening of the connector cover 5 is prevented.
In this state, for example, even if an attempt is made to push up the lower surface of the connector cover 5 with fingers, the continuous piece 56 connecting the distal ends of the pair of extending pieces 55 of the connector cover 5 is caught on the rib 15 of the lower case 11, Since the extension piece 55 cannot be pulled out, the locking protrusions 58 and 82 on both the left and right sides are held in the locked state. That is, the connector cover 5 cannot be opened from the lower surface side.

次に、図８に矢印を付して示したように、コネクタカバー５の上面を手指で押し下げると、コネクタ用開口部１３ａからコネクタパッキン５３が外れると同時に、左右両側部における係止突部５８・８２の係止状態が解除される。このとき、延出片５５を介して連続片５６が上方に移動してリブ１５より上方に位置する。
続いて、コネクタカバー５を引き出すことで、延出片５５及び連続片５６が凹部１６内を前進するが、凹部１６内で横切る連続片５６の存在によりコネクタカバー５の引き抜きが防止される。 Next, as shown with an arrow in FIG. 8, when the upper surface of the connector cover 5 is pushed down with fingers, the connector packing 53 is removed from the connector opening 13a, and at the same time, the locking protrusions 58 on the left and right sides.・ The locked state of 82 is released. At this time, the continuous piece 56 moves upward through the extended piece 55 and is positioned above the rib 15.
Subsequently, by pulling out the connector cover 5, the extending piece 55 and the continuous piece 56 advance in the recess 16, but the presence of the continuous piece 56 that crosses within the recess 16 prevents the connector cover 5 from being pulled out.

以上のとおり、コネクタカバー５は、その下辺部側を回動中心として上辺部側を所定角度以上回動させた際にのみ、その下辺部側が第一の筐体１から引き出せるように、下辺部に設けた枠状をなす左右の延出片５５の先端部が、図８に示すように、下ケース１１側に折れ曲がり形状となっていて、図７に示すように、その左右の延出片５５の先端部とその間の連続片５６の左右両側部が下ケース１１のリブ１５に係止状態となっている。
従って、機器の落下などによってコネクタカバー５が不本意に開く危険性を極力少なくできるものとなっている。 As described above, the connector cover 5 has a lower side portion so that the lower side portion can be pulled out from the first housing 1 only when the upper side portion is rotated by a predetermined angle or more with the lower side portion as a rotation center. As shown in FIG. 8, the front ends of the left and right extending pieces 55 formed in a frame shape are bent toward the lower case 11, and as shown in FIG. The front end portion of 55 and the left and right side portions of the continuous piece 56 between them are engaged with the rib 15 of the lower case 11.
Therefore, it is possible to reduce the risk of the connector cover 5 being opened unintentionally due to dropping of the device or the like.

そして、コネクタカバー５の左右両側部の係止片５７がそれぞれ乗り越えて係止状態となっているフック８は、ガラス入りナイロン製の中ケース１３よりも潤滑性のあるエラストマー素材（例えばＰＯＭ）製のため、係止片５７とフック８との引掛り量を多くとることができる。
すなわち、係止片５７の係止突部５８とフック８の係止突部８２との係合深さを多くとることができるため、第一の筐体１の開口におけるコネクタカバー５の保持力が向上したものとなっている。
従って、コネクタカバー５の防水性能、つまり、中ケース１３のコネクタ用開口部１３ａに嵌合しているコネクタパッキン５３による防水性能を向上することができる。 The hooks 8 that are engaged with the locking pieces 57 on both the left and right sides of the connector cover 5 are made of an elastomer material (for example, POM) that is more lubricious than the middle case 13 made of glass-filled nylon. Therefore, a large amount of engagement between the locking piece 57 and the hook 8 can be obtained.
That is, since the engagement depth between the engagement protrusion 58 of the engagement piece 57 and the engagement protrusion 82 of the hook 8 can be increased, the holding force of the connector cover 5 at the opening of the first housing 1 is increased. Is improved.
Accordingly, the waterproof performance of the connector cover 5, that is, the waterproof performance of the connector packing 53 fitted in the connector opening 13 a of the middle case 13 can be improved.

また、このようにコネクタカバー５の防水性能を向上できるため、コネクタカバー５の係止片５７の係合突起５８を幅広にする必要もないものとなる。
従って、機器ケースの厚みという制約の問題も解消できる。 Further, since the waterproof performance of the connector cover 5 can be improved as described above, it is not necessary to widen the engagement protrusion 58 of the locking piece 57 of the connector cover 5.
Therefore, the problem of the limitation of the thickness of the device case can be solved.

なお、以上の実施形態においては、コネクタカバーとしたが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、メモリカード用のスロットを閉塞するカバーにも適用可能である。
そして、実施形態では、携帯電子機器として折り畳み式携帯電話機としたが、ＰＤＡ、その他の携帯型の電子機器であっても良い。
さらに、実施形態では、キー操作部が設けられた第１の筐体と表示部が設けられた第２の筐体とを折り畳む構成であったが、キー操作部が設けられた第１の筐体上を、表示部が設けられた第２の筐体がスライドする構成の物でも良い。また、キー操作部と表示部が１つの筐体に設けられたワンボックスタイプのものでもよい。
また、筐体及びカバーの形状等も任意であり、その他、具体的な細部構造等についても適宜に変更可能であることは勿論である。 In the above embodiment, the connector cover is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a cover for closing a memory card slot.
In the embodiment, the foldable mobile phone is used as the portable electronic device, but a PDA or other portable electronic device may be used.
Furthermore, in the embodiment, the first casing provided with the key operation unit and the second casing provided with the display unit are folded.
