Description

本発明は、携帯端末に関し、使用時に筐体同士をスライドさせることができる携帯端末に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly to a portable terminal that can slide between casings when in use.

携帯端末で筐体同士を互いにスライドさせ、操作部が形成された筐体に対して、表示部が形成された筐体を立ち上げて(チルトさせて)使用する構成のものがある。従来、スライド機構を備えたものとしては、例えば、下記特許文献に示すものがある。 There is a configuration in which casings are slid with each other by a portable terminal, and the casing on which the display unit is formed is raised (tilted) and used with respect to the casing on which the operation unit is formed. Conventionally, as a thing provided with the slide mechanism, there exist some shown in the following patent documents, for example.

特開2006−186699号公報JP 2006-186699 A 特開2007−074411号公報JP 2007-074411 A

従来、スライド動作をスムーズに必要なガイド幅を確保しようとした場合にはスライド後に使用できる操作部を形成する領域が狭くなってしまう。また、キーエリアなどの操作部を形成する領域を広く設ける場合には、十分なガイド幅を確保できないためスライド動作を補助するために別機構が必要になって構成が複雑になる点や、また、大型になることが避けられず、また部品点数の増大によってコストの増加の要因となってしまう点で改善の余地があった。   Conventionally, when it is attempted to secure a guide width necessary for a smooth sliding operation, an area for forming an operation unit that can be used after sliding becomes narrow. In addition, when a wide area for forming the operation unit such as a key area is provided, a sufficient guide width cannot be secured, so that a separate mechanism is required to assist the slide operation, and the configuration is complicated. However, there is room for improvement in that it is inevitable that the size is large, and that an increase in the number of parts causes an increase in cost.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、十分なスライド量を確保することでスムーズなスライド操作が実行でき、操作部の面積を十分に確保することが可能な携帯端末を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a purpose thereof is a portable terminal capable of performing a smooth slide operation by securing a sufficient slide amount and sufficiently securing an area of an operation unit. Is to provide.

本発明の上記目的は、下記構成によって達成される。

(5)前記第2筐体を前記第1筐体に対してスライドさせた状態で、前記第1筐体における露呈した部位に操作部が形成されている上記(1)から(4)のいずれか1つに記載の携帯端末。
The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following configurations.
(1) a first housing;
A second housing slidable relative to the first housing;
A tilt member provided on the first casing and raising the second casing with respect to the first casing;
The tilt member has a first movable part that moves in a sliding direction when it is raised, a second movable part that is connected to the first movable part and rotates with respect to the first housing when it is raised, Mobile terminal equipped with.
(2) The portable terminal according to (1), wherein the tilt member is provided with a groove portion that guides the first movable portion in a sliding direction, and a rotation shaft capable of rotating the second movable portion.
(3) The portable terminal according to (1) or (2) above, wherein a hinge portion is provided that rotatably connects the first movable portion to the second movable portion when sliding. .
(4) The portable device according to any one of (1) to (3), further including a holding unit that holds the second housing in a slidable manner, and the holding unit is fixed to the first movable unit. Terminal.
(5) Any of the above (1) to (4), wherein an operating portion is formed at an exposed portion of the first casing in a state where the second casing is slid with respect to the first casing. The portable terminal as described in any one.

本発明の携帯端末は、第1筐体と第2筐体とを有し、さらに、第2筐体に対して立ち上げるチルト部材を有している。チルト部材は、第1可動部と第2可動部とを備えている。チルト部材を立ち上げる際には、第1可動部が第1筐体と第2筐体とのスライド方向に移動するとともに、第2可動部が第1筐体に対して回動する構成である。第1筐体におけるスライドによって露呈する面に操作部を設ける場合には、チルト部材がスライドしないと、チルト動作を行うことによってチルトされた筐体の上方端部が操作部の上方に張り出すことによって該操作部を平面視した状態における面積が実質的に狭くなってしまう。上記実施形態のように、チルト部材がチルト動作とともにスライド方向へ移動することで、筐体の上方端部が操作部の上方に張り出した分を解消することができ、完全にチルト動作させた状態において、操作部を平面視した状態における面積がチルト動作前と比べて小さくなることを防止することができる。したがって、チルト動作前後において操作部が狭くなることがなく、操作性が低下することを防止することができる。
また、チルト部材を立ち上げる際にある程度のスライド量を確保することができるため、第1筐体と第2筐体とスライドさせる際の両者のスライド領域にいてスムーズなスライド操作が実行できる範囲で十分のスライド量となるように構成することができる。
The portable terminal of the present invention includes a first housing and a second housing, and further includes a tilt member that rises with respect to the second housing. The tilt member includes a first movable part and a second movable part. When the tilt member is raised, the first movable portion moves in the sliding direction between the first housing and the second housing, and the second movable portion rotates with respect to the first housing. . In the case where the operation unit is provided on the surface exposed by the slide in the first casing, the upper end portion of the tilted casing protrudes above the operation section by performing the tilt operation unless the tilt member slides. As a result, the area of the operation unit in a plan view is substantially reduced. As in the above embodiment, the tilt member moves in the sliding direction along with the tilt operation, so that the amount of the upper end of the housing protruding above the operation unit can be eliminated, and the tilt member is completely tilted. Thus, it is possible to prevent the area in a state where the operation unit is viewed in plan from becoming smaller than that before the tilting operation. Therefore, the operation unit is not narrowed before and after the tilt operation, and the operability can be prevented from being lowered.
In addition, since a certain amount of sliding can be ensured when the tilt member is raised, the sliding area of both the first casing and the second casing can be moved within a range where a smooth sliding operation can be performed. It can be configured to have a sufficient slide amount.

本発明によれば、十分なスライド量を確保することでスムーズなスライド操作が実行でき、操作部の面積を十分に確保することが可能な携帯端末を提供できる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mobile terminal capable of executing a smooth slide operation by securing a sufficient slide amount and sufficiently securing the area of the operation unit.

As the display unit 5, for example, a liquid crystal display can be used. The display unit 5 may be formed on the entire rectangular surface facing the outside of the second housing 4 or may be formed on a part of the surface.

本実施形態の携帯端末1は、第1筐体2,中間筐体3,第2筐体4のうち一部の筐体を他の筐体に対して相対的に移動させることができる構成である。具体的には、本実施形態の携帯端末1は、第1筐体2及び中間筐体3に対して第2筐体4を図1の矢印X方向にスライドさせることができ、また、第1筐体2に対して、中間筐体3と第2筐体4とを重ね合わせた状態で、矢印Y方向にスライドさせることができる構成である。以下、本実施形態では、その一例を説明する。   The mobile terminal 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which a part of the first casing 2, the intermediate casing 3, and the second casing 4 can be moved relative to other casings. is there. Specifically, the mobile terminal 1 of the present embodiment can slide the second housing 4 in the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 1 with respect to the first housing 2 and the intermediate housing 3, and the first In this configuration, the intermediate casing 3 and the second casing 4 can be slid in the arrow Y direction with respect to the casing 2. Hereinafter, an example will be described in the present embodiment.

図2に示すように、携帯端末1の第2筐体4を中間筐体3の面に対してスライド移動させることができる。このとき、第1筐体2は、中間筐体3のスライドさせる面とは反対側の面に対して重ね合わされた状態のままとなる。第2筐体4を第1筐体2に対してスライドさせた状態で、中間筐体3のスライド側の面に第1操作部6が露呈する。以下の説明においては、図2に示すように、第2筐体4を、その長方形の面の長手方向側にスライドさせた状態を縦スライドともいう。   As shown in FIG. 2, the second housing 4 of the mobile terminal 1 can be slid relative to the surface of the intermediate housing 3. At this time, the first housing 2 remains overlaid on the surface of the intermediate housing 3 opposite to the surface to be slid. In a state where the second housing 4 is slid with respect to the first housing 2, the first operation unit 6 is exposed on the slide side surface of the intermediate housing 3. In the following description, as shown in FIG. 2, the state in which the second housing 4 is slid in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular surface is also referred to as a vertical slide.

図3に示すように、携帯端末1の第2筐体4及中間筐体3をそれぞれ重ね合わせた状態のまま、第1筐体2に対して、第1筐体2の長方形の面の短手方向側にスライド移動させることができる。第2筐体4及び中間筐体3を第1筐体2に対して同時にスライド移動させた状態で、第1筐体2のスライド側の面に第2操作部7が露呈する。以下の説明においては、図3に示すように、第2筐体4及び中間筐体3を、第1筐体2の長方形の面の短手方向側にスライドさせた状態を横スライドともいう。例えば、携帯端末1の使用時に、図2に示すように、第1筐体2を中間筐体3及びに対してスライド移動させた状態で、電話の通話操作などを行うことができる。また、TV視聴を行う際には、図3に示すように第2筐体4及び中間筐体3を重ね合わせた状態で第1筐体2に対して同時にスライド移動させることで、使用者は、第2筐体4の表示部5にTV映像を表示しつつ、第2操作部7によってTV画面の操作等を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the rectangular surface of the first housing 2 is short relative to the first housing 2 while the second housing 4 and the intermediate housing 3 of the mobile terminal 1 are overlapped. It can be slid to the hand side. In a state where the second housing 4 and the intermediate housing 3 are simultaneously slid relative to the first housing 2, the second operation unit 7 is exposed on the slide side surface of the first housing 2. In the following description, as shown in FIG. 3, the state in which the second housing 4 and the intermediate housing 3 are slid to the short side of the rectangular surface of the first housing 2 is also referred to as a lateral slide.

And a second movable portion 13b connected to be rotatable. 6, 7, 10 and 11, the tilt member 8 includes a first movable portion 14a integrally formed on the other short side of the rectangular surface of the back plate portion 12, and the first movable portion 14a. And a second movable portion 14b rotatably connected to the first movable portion 14a.

図9から図11に示すように、側板部11にはそれぞれ、溝部11aが形成されている。溝部11aは、横スライド時のスライド方向に対して平行になるように直線状に開口している。第1可動部13a,14aはそれぞれ回動軸R1,R2を有し、これら回動軸R1,R2がそれぞれ側板部11に形成された溝部11aに沿ってスライド可能で、且つ、それぞれの軸を回動中心として回動可能な状態で取り付けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, each side plate portion 11 is formed with a groove portion 11 a. The groove part 11a is opened linearly so as to be parallel to the sliding direction at the time of horizontal sliding. The first movable portions 13a and 14a have rotation axes R1 and R2, respectively. The rotation axes R1 and R2 can slide along the groove portions 11a formed in the side plate portions 11, respectively. It is attached in a rotatable state as a rotation center.

As the hinge part H1, for example, a free stop hinge or the like can be used. The rotation direction of the hinge part H1 rotates in the direction opposite to the rotation axis R1. The second movable portion 13b is fixed to the side plate portion 11 by the axis S1, and is attached to the side plate portion 11 by the axis S1 so as to be rotatable at the time of the tilting operation.

同様に、第2可動部14bは、第1可動部14aに対してヒンジ部H2によって回動可能に連結されている。ヒンジ部H2としては、例えば、フリーストップヒンジなどを用いることができる。ヒンジ部H2の回動方向は、回動軸R2と反対方向に回動する。また、第2可動部14bは、側板部11に対して軸S2によって固定されており、チルト動作時に軸S2によって側板部11に対して回動自在に取り付けられている。   Similarly, the 2nd movable part 14b is connected with the 1st movable part 14a so that rotation is possible by hinge part H2.

The second movable portion 14b is fixed to the side plate portion 11 by the axis S2, and is attached to the side plate portion 11 by the axis S2 so as to be rotatable at the time of the tilting operation.

次に、チルト部材の動作を図12から図15に基づいて説明する。
チルト動作をする前の状態では、図12及び図14に示すように、第1可動部13a,14aと第2可動部13b,14bとを連結するヒンジ部H1,H2が側板部11の側面に並ぶように収容されている。このとき回動軸R1,R2は、溝部11aのチルト部材8とは反対側の端部に位置している。
Next, the operation of the tilt member will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the state before the tilt operation, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the hinge portions H <b> 1 and H <b> 2 connecting the first movable portions 13 a and 14 a and the second movable portions 13 b and 14 b are on the side surface of the side plate portion 11. They are housed in a line. At this time, the rotation axes R1 and R2 are located at the end of the groove 11a opposite to the tilt member 8.

図13及び図15に示すように、チルト動作時に中間筐体3及び第2筐体4(図4参照)を立ち上げるとともに、中間筐体3を支持する背板部12が図中水平な状態に対して傾斜するように立ち上げられる。すると、このとき、第1可動部13a,14aに連結された回動軸R1,R2が回動しながら溝部11aに沿ってチルト部材8側へ移動する。同時に、第1可動部13a,14aにヒンジ部H1,H2によって連結された第2可動部13b,14bが、ヒンジ部H1,H2の立ち上がりによる移動に伴って傾斜する。このとき、それぞれの軸S1,2によって、側板部11に対して回動しながら傾斜する。   As shown in FIGS. 13 and 15, the intermediate casing 3 and the second casing 4 (see FIG. 4) are raised during the tilting operation, and the back plate portion 12 supporting the intermediate casing 3 is in a horizontal state in the drawing. It is launched to incline against. At this time, the rotation shafts R1 and R2 connected to the first movable portions 13a and 14a move toward the tilt member 8 along the groove portion 11a while rotating. At the same time, the second movable portions 13b and 14b connected to the first movable portions 13a and 14a by the hinge portions H1 and H2 are tilted as the hinge portions H1 and H2 move due to the rising. At this time, it inclines while rotating with respect to the side-plate part 11 by each axis | shaft S1,2.

言い換えると、チルト動作をする前の状態では、ヒンジ部H1,H2と、回動軸R1,R2と、軸S1,S2との3つの軸が、ほぼ一直線上に位置している。そして、チルト動作時には、ヒンジ部H1,H2が、チルト部材8の立ち上げられる側へ移動するとともに、回動軸R1,R2が、溝部11aに沿ってスライド方向に移動することで軸S1,S2の方へ近づく。   In other words, in the state before the tilting operation, the three axes of the hinge portions H1 and H2, the rotation axes R1 and R2, and the axes S1 and S2 are positioned substantially in a straight line. During the tilting operation, the hinge portions H1 and H2 move to the side where the tilt member 8 is raised, and the rotation shafts R1 and R2 move in the sliding direction along the groove portion 11a so that the shafts S1 and S2 are moved. Get closer to.

次に、図16に基づいて、本実施形態の構成の作用を説明する。図16(a)は、第1筐体2、中間筐体3、第2筐体4とを重ね合わせている状態を示している。図16(b)は、中間筐体3と第2筐体4とを第1筐体2に対して横スライドさせた後の状態を示す図である。図16(c)は、横スライド後、チルト動作した後の状態を示す図である。   Next, the effect | action of the structure of this embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. FIG. 16A shows a state in which the first housing 2, the intermediate housing 3, and the second housing 4 are overlapped. FIG. 16B is a diagram illustrating a state after the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 are slid laterally with respect to the first housing 2. FIG. 16C is a diagram showing a state after a tilt operation after a lateral slide.

図16(a)に示すように、横スライド時には、第1筐体2に対して中間筐体3及び第2筐体4を重ね合わせたままの状態で、スライド移動させる。なお、以下では、第1筐体2に対して中間筐体3及び第2筐体4を移動させている場合を説明するが、中間筐体3及び第2筐体4に対して第1筐体2を移動させる場合、及び、中間筐体3及び第2筐体4と第1筐体2との両方を相対的に移動させる場合も本実施形態と同様の動作及び作用である。   As shown in FIG. 16A, at the time of horizontal sliding, the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 are slid and moved while being superposed on the first housing 2. In the following, a case where the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 are moved with respect to the first housing 2 will be described. However, the first housing with respect to the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 will be described. When the body 2 is moved, and when both the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 and the first housing 2 are relatively moved, the same operation and action as in this embodiment are performed.

横スライド時には、チルト部材8は、第1筐体と中間筐体3との間に収容されている状態である。そして、チルト部材8に固定されたスライドガイド部22に支持された中間筐体3がスライド移動する。このとき、スライドガイド部22のスライド方向の領域SL1が、中間筐体3のスライドが第1筐体2によって支持されている部分に相当し、この領域SL1が長いほどスライド時の中間筐体3の動作が安定し、スライドさせる筐体同士のつっかかりなどの操作不具合を抑制することができる。一方で、領域SL1が長すぎると、スライド後に第1筐体2の中間筐体3側の面に露呈する第2操作部7の領域が小さくなり、逆に操作しづらくなってしまう。   During the horizontal slide, the tilt member 8 is in a state of being accommodated between the first housing and the intermediate housing 3. Then, the intermediate housing 3 supported by the slide guide portion 22 fixed to the tilt member 8 slides. At this time, the slide direction region SL1 of the slide guide portion 22 corresponds to a portion where the slide of the intermediate housing 3 is supported by the first housing 2, and the longer the region SL1 is, the longer the intermediate housing 3 is when sliding. The operation can be stabilized, and operation troubles such as catching between the casings to be slid can be suppressed. On the other hand, if the region SL1 is too long, the region of the second operation unit 7 exposed on the surface of the first housing 2 on the side of the intermediate housing 3 after the slide becomes small, which makes it difficult to operate.

本実施形態では、図16(b)に示すように、中間筐体3をスライドさせた後で、図16(c)に示すチルト動作が可能な構成である。チルト動作時にはチルト部材の第1可動部13a,13bが、側板部11の溝部11aに沿って、中間筐体3をスライドさせた方向と同じ方向にスライドすることが許容されている。このとき、図16(c)に示すように、第1可動部13a,13bがスライドする距離をSL2とする。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16B, the tilt operation shown in FIG. 16C is possible after the intermediate housing 3 is slid. During the tilt operation, the first movable portions 13 a and 13 b of the tilt member are allowed to slide along the groove portion 11 a of the side plate portion 11 in the same direction as the direction in which the intermediate housing 3 is slid. At this time, as shown in FIG.16 (c), let SL2 be the distance which the 1st movable parts 13a and 13b slide.

すると、スライド移動した後の中間筐体3及び第2筐体4の第1筐体2に対する位置が、チルト動作によってさらにスライド方向へSL2の距離に相当する距離だけ移動する。チルト部材8がスライドしない構成では、チルト動作を行うことによってチルトされた中間筐体3及び第2筐体4の上方端部が第2操作部7の上方に張り出すことによって該第2操作部7を平面視した状態における面積が実質的に狭くなってしまう。上記実施形態のように、チルト部材8がチルト動作とともにスライド方向へSL2の距離だけ移動することで、中間筐体3及び第2筐体4の上方端部が第2操作部7の上方に張り出した分を解消することができ、完全にチルト動作させた状態において、第2操作部7を平面視した状態における面積がチルト動作前と比べて小さくなることを防止することができる。したがって、チルト動作前後において第2操作部7が狭くなることがなく、操作性が低下することを防止することができる。   Then, the positions of the intermediate housing 3 and the second housing 4 with respect to the first housing 2 after the sliding movement are further moved by a distance corresponding to the distance SL2 in the sliding direction by the tilting operation. In the configuration in which the tilt member 8 does not slide, the upper end portions of the intermediate casing 3 and the second casing 4 that are tilted by performing the tilting operation protrude above the second operating section 7, thereby the second operating section. The area in a state where 7 is viewed in plan is substantially reduced. As in the above-described embodiment, the upper end of the intermediate casing 3 and the second casing 4 protrudes above the second operation section 7 by moving the tilt member 8 in the sliding direction along the tilt operation by the distance SL2. Thus, the area when the second operation unit 7 is viewed in a plan view can be prevented from being smaller than that before the tilt operation when the tilt operation is completely performed. Therefore, the second operation unit 7 is not narrowed before and after the tilt operation, and the operability can be prevented from being lowered.

本発明の携帯端末1は、第1筐体2と第2筐体4とを有し、さらに、第2筐体4に対して立ち上げるチルト部材8を有している。チルト部材8は、第1可動部13a,14aと第2可動部13b,14bとを備えている。チルト部材8を立ち上げる際には、第1可動部13a,14aが第1筐体2と第2筐体4とのスライド方向に移動するとともに、第2可動部13b,14bが第1筐体2に対して回動する構成である。上記実施形態のように第1筐体2におけるスライドによって露呈する面に第2操作部7を設ける場合には、使用時に第1筐体2と第2筐体4とをスライドさせた後、第2筐体4を立ち上げる際に、第2筐体4が第1可動部13a,14aの移動によってさらにスライドされるため、第1筐体2におけるスライドによって露呈する面が狭くなることを防止できる。このため、チルト動作の前後において、第1筐体2の第2操作部7の面積を確保することができる。
また、チルト部材8を立ち上げる際にある程度のスライド量を確保することができるため、第1筐体2と第2筐体4とスライドさせる際の両者のスライド領域にいてスムーズなスライド操作が実行できる範囲で十分のスライド量となるように構成することができる。
The mobile terminal 1 of the present invention includes a first housing 2 and a second housing 4, and further includes a tilt member 8 that rises with respect to the second housing 4. The tilt member 8 includes first movable portions 13a and 14a and second movable portions 13b and 14b. When the tilt member 8 is raised, the first movable portions 13a and 14a move in the sliding direction between the first housing 2 and the second housing 4, and the second movable portions 13b and 14b are moved to the first housing. 2 with respect to the rotation. When the second operation unit 7 is provided on the surface exposed by the slide in the first housing 2 as in the above embodiment, the first housing 2 and the second housing 4 are slid during use, When the two housings 4 are started up, the second housing 4 is further slid by the movement of the first movable parts 13a and 14a, so that it is possible to prevent the exposed surface of the first housing 2 from being narrowed. . For this reason, the area of the 2nd operation part 7 of the 1st housing | casing 2 is securable before and after tilt operation.
In addition, since a certain amount of sliding can be ensured when the tilt member 8 is raised, a smooth sliding operation is performed in the sliding areas of the first housing 2 and the second housing 4 when sliding. It can be configured to have a sufficient amount of slide within a possible range.
