JP 2007-49650 A JP 2008-196525 A

  In general, in both cases of slide from the start end to the end and slide from the end to the start end, the direction in which the slide is assisted by the biasing member is switched using a single mechanism. For this reason, at the time of sliding from the start end to the end, the biasing force of the biasing member that tries to push the second casing toward the end acts as an assist for the slide. However, at the time of sliding from the terminal end to the starting end, the biasing force of the biasing member that tries to push the second casing toward the terminal end becomes the resistance of the slide. Thus, whether the urging force of the urging member acts as a slide assist or a resistance depends on the slide direction. That is, the case where the urging force of the urging member acts as an assist and the case where the urging force acts as a resistance are in an integrated relationship.

  Therefore, if the range in which the second housing is pushed to the end side when sliding from the start end to the end is set, not only the range to be pushed to the start end side but also the end side when sliding from the end to the start end is urged The range to be pressed and the range to be pushed to the start end side are determined. Thus, the range in which the slide of the second housing is assisted cannot be set individually according to the slide direction.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a portable device capable of individually setting a range in which sliding is assisted in each sliding direction in a sliding portable device in which sliding is assisted.

  The portable device disclosed in the present specification is fixed to the first and second housings, the urging member, and the second housing side, and is slidably connected to the first housing. The urging member And a slider that is pressed by the first biasing member that is pressed by the biasing member when sliding from the start end to the end of the slide range, and when sliding from the end to the start end. A second pressed portion pressed by the biasing member, a first guide portion for guiding a pressing position pressed by the biasing member from the first pressed portion to the second pressed portion, and the pressing position. A second guide portion that guides the second pressed portion from the second pressed portion to the first pressed portion, and the slider is moved by the biasing member as the pressing position moves on the first pressed portion. The direction in which is pushed is switched from the start side to the end side, 2 in accordance with the movement of the pressing position on the pressing part, the direction in which the slider is pushed by the biasing member is switched to the starting side from the end side.

  It is possible to provide a portable device that can individually set the range in which the slide is assisted for each slide direction.

  Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments will be described. The portable device is, for example, a mobile phone.

1A to 1E are explanatory views of slides of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment.
1A is a fully closed state to be described later, FIG. 1B is a state during the transition from the fully closed state to the fully opened state, FIG. 1C is a fully opened state, and FIG. 1D is a state during the transition from the fully opened state to the fully closed state. FIG. 1E shows the fully closed state.

  The mobile phone according to the first embodiment includes a main body portion (first housing) 10 and a display portion (second housing) 20 that is slidably connected to the main body portion 10 in a straight line. A display 22 that is always exposed is provided on the front surface of the display unit 20. As illustrated in FIG. 1C, the main body 10 is provided with a numeric keypad 12 and a function key 14 that are exposed in a fully opened state. As will be described in detail later, a mechanism for assisting sliding is provided between the main body 10 and the display unit 20. This mechanism is provided with a biasing member that is interposed between the main body 10 and the display unit 20 and assists sliding. 1A to E, the slide range is L, the start end of the slide range L is P1, and the end is P2.

  FIG. 1A shows a fully closed state in which the main body unit 10 and the display unit 20 overlap each other. When the display unit 20 is pushed upward with respect to the main body unit 10 from the fully closed state, the display unit 20 slides on the main body unit 10 and is hidden by the display unit 20 as illustrated in FIG. 1B. Begins to be exposed. Between the fully closed state and the state of FIG. 1B, the urging member tries to return the display unit 20 to the starting end P1. Let this range be La1. When the display unit 20 is further pushed from FIG. 1B, the urging member tries to push the display unit 20 to the end P2. The display unit 20 shifts to the fully opened state shown in FIG. 1C by the force to push the urging member. That is, if the user slides the display unit 20 by the range La1 in opposition to the urging force of the urging member, the urging member subsequently assists the pushing of the display unit 20 toward the end P2 side. A range La2 in which the display unit 20 is pushed toward the terminal end P2 by the urging member is a length exceeding half of the entire slide range L. That is, the range La2 is longer than the range La1.

  When the display unit 20 is pushed downward with respect to the main body unit 10 from the fully opened state, the function key 14 starts to be hidden by the display unit 20 as illustrated in FIG. 1D. Between the fully open state and the state shown in FIG. 1D, the urging member tries to return the display unit 20 to the terminal end P2. This range is Lb1. When the display unit 20 is further pressed, the urging member tries to push the display unit 20 to the starting end P1. The display unit 20 shifts to the fully closed state as illustrated in FIG. 1E by the force to push the urging member. In other words, if the user slides the display unit 20 by the range Lb1 in opposition to the urging force of the urging member, the urging member assists in pushing the display unit 20 toward the start end P1. A range Lb2 in which the display unit 20 is pushed toward the start end P1 by the urging member is a length exceeding half of the entire slide range L. That is, the range Lb2 is longer than the range Lb1.

  As described above, even when shifting from the fully closed state to the fully open state or when shifting from the fully open state to the fully closed state, the user antagonizes the urging force of the urging member and a slight distance. It is only necessary to extrude the display unit 20. Thus, the operability of the mobile phone of Example 1 is improved. In particular, operability is improved in a mobile phone having a large slide range.

  Next, a slide of a mobile phone having a structure different from that of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment will be described. 2A to 2E are explanatory views of a slide of a mobile phone having a structure different from that of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment. The same applies to the slide range L.

  From the fully closed state of FIG. 2A to the state shown in FIG. 2B, the urging member tries to return the display unit 20x to the starting end P1. The range in which the display unit 20x is urged toward the start end P1 by the urging member is half of the entire slide range L. When the display unit 20x is further pushed to the end P2 from the state of FIG. 2B, the urging member tries to push the display unit 20x toward the end P2. The display unit 20x shifts to the fully open state illustrated in FIG. 2C by the urging force of the urging member. When shifting from the fully open state to the state shown in FIG. 1D, the urging member attempts to return the display unit 20x to the end P2. The range in which the display unit 20x is urged toward the end P2 by the urging member is half of the entire slide range L. When the display unit 20x is further pushed toward the starting end P1 from the state of FIG. 2D, the urging member tries to push the display unit 20x toward the starting end P1. Thereby, it will be in a fully closed state again. As described above, the boundary point at which the direction in which the urging member pushes the display unit 20x is switched is a substantially intermediate point of the slide range.

  This is because either the mechanism for switching the direction in which the display unit 20x is pushed by the urging member slides the display unit 20x from the start end P1 to the end P2, or the slide from the end P2 to the start P1. This is because a common mechanism is used in this case. Therefore, for example, it is assumed that the range in which the urging member pushes the display portion 20x toward the end P2 is set to a range that exceeds half of the entire slide range L. In this case, when the display unit 20x is slid from the starting end P1 to the terminal end P2, the range in which the sliding of the display unit is assisted by the urging member becomes longer, and the operability is improved. However, when the display unit 20x is slid from the end P2 to the start P1, it is necessary to push the display unit 20 over a long range against the urging force of the urging member. Therefore, in the mobile phone having such a structure, the boundary at which the direction in which the display unit 20x is pressed by the urging member is switched is set at a substantially middle point of the slide range.

  However, as described above, in the mobile phone according to the first embodiment, the boundary where the direction in which the display unit 20 is pressed by the urging member is switched is not a substantially middle point of the slide range. In addition, regardless of the slide direction, the range in which the display unit 20 is pushed out by the urging member exceeds half of the entire slide range. Hereinafter, the structure of the mobile phone according to the first embodiment will be described in detail.

3 is an exploded perspective view of the mobile phone in the fully closed state, FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the mobile phone in the fully open state, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the mobile phone in the fully closed state.
As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, a base plate 30, a slider 40, a biasing member 50, switching members 60 a and 60 b, and a pressing mechanism 90 are disposed between the main body 10 and the display unit 20. The base plate 30 is fixed to the front side of the main body 10 that faces the display unit 20. The slider 40 is fixed to the back side of the display unit 20 facing the main body unit 10. Guide portions 31 are provided on the left and right edges of the base plate 30. Rail portions 41 are provided on the left and right edges of the slider 40. The guide part 31 and the rail part 41 are slidably engaged with each other. Thereby, the main-body part 10 and the display part 20 are connected so that a predetermined range can be slid linearly. Further, switching members 60a and 60b and stoppers 42 and 43 are fixed to the surface of the slider 40 facing the main body 10 with an adhesive or the like. Details will be described later.

  The main body unit 10 and the display unit 20 are electrically connected by a flexible printed circuit board 70. The slider 40 is provided with a notch 47 for allowing the flexible printed circuit board 70 to escape.

  The biasing member 50 is disposed between the main body 10 and the slider 40. The biasing member 50 is disposed on the base plate 30. The biasing member 50 includes a coil part 51 and arm parts 53 and 55. The end portion of the arm portion 53 is connected to the main body portion 10 side. The end of the arm portion 55 is connected to an arm 96 described later.

  A pressing mechanism 90 is provided on the base plate 30. Since the base plate 30 is fixed to the main body 10, in other words, the pressing mechanism 90 is provided on the main body 10 side. The pressing mechanism 90 includes arms 92 and 96 and a roller 98. The arm 92 is swingably connected to the base plate 30. The arm 92 swings on the surface of the base plate 30. An arm 96 is connected to the tip of the arm 92. The arm 96 is connected to the arm 92 so as to be swingable in the thickness direction of the main body 10 or the display unit 20. A roller 98 is provided at the tip of the arm 96. The roller 98 moves on pressed parts 61a, 62a, 61b, and 62b described later as the slider 40 slides. The arm 96 is connected to the end of the arm portion 55 of the biasing member 50. The urging member 50 urges the arm 96 toward the switching member 60a or the switching member 60b. The switching member 60a has pressed parts 61a and 62a continuous with each other, and the switching member 60b has pressed parts 61b and 62b continuous with each other. Thereby, the roller 98 presses any one of the pressed parts 61a, 62a, 61b, and 62b.

  The switching members 60a and 60b are fixed to each other with an adhesive or the like. The switching members 60a and 60b are triangular thin plates, respectively. The switching members 60a and 60b overlap each other in the thickness direction of the mobile phone. The switching member 60a has pressed portions 61a and 62a that are continuous with each other. Similarly, the switching member 60b has pressed parts 61b and 62b that are continuous with each other. The roller 98 moves on the pressed parts 61a, 62a, 61b, and 62b as the display unit 20 slides. The pressed parts 61 a, 62 a, 61 b, 62 b are each provided in a groove shape so as to engage with the roller 98. The pressed parts 61a, 62a, 61b, and 62b are each linear, but are not limited to linear. For example, when the pressed portion 61 is curved, the relationship between the slide amount and the assist force can be changed non-linearly. Thereby, the change pattern of assist force can be changed.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the lengths of the pressed parts 61a, 62a, 61b, and 62b in the sliding direction correspond to the ranges La1, La2, Lb1, and Lb2, respectively.

Next, the pressing mechanism 90 and the switching members 60a and 60b will be described in detail.
6A to 6D and FIGS. 7A and 7B are explanatory diagrams of the pressing mechanism 90 and the switching members 60a and 60b during sliding. As illustrated in FIG. 6A, in the fully closed state, the roller 98 presses the pressed portion 61a. Further, in the fully closed state, the roller 98 and the stopper 43 are in contact with each other, thereby preventing the roller 98 from being detached from the pressed portion 61a or the pressed portion 62b. Further, the roller 98 and the stopper 43 are in contact with each other to define the start end P1 position of the slide range. When the display unit 20 is slid, the switching member 60a also moves as the display unit 20 slides. By the movement of the switching member 60a, the roller 98 moves so as to rise above the pressed portion 61a. While the roller 98 is on the pressed part 61a, a force acts so that the switching member 60a is returned to the start end P1 side by the biasing force of the biasing member 50. The pressed portion 61a corresponds to a first return region.

  When the display unit 20 is further slid to the end P2 side, the roller 98 reaches the boundary point between the pressed part 61a and the pressed part 62a as illustrated in FIG. 6B. FIG. 6B corresponds to FIG. 1B. When the display unit 20 is further slid to the end P2 side, the roller 98 moves on the pressed portion 62a as illustrated in FIG. 6C. While the roller 98 is on the pressed portion 62a, a force acts so that the switching member 60a is pushed out toward the end P2 by the urging force of the urging member 50. The pressed part 62a corresponds to a first extrusion region. The urging force of the urging member 50 pushes the switching member 60a toward the end P2, and the roller 98 moves to the tip of the pressed portion 62a as illustrated in FIG. 6D. In this way, the fully closed state is shifted to the fully opened state.

  Thus, with the movement of the pressing position from the pressed portion 61a to the pressed portion 62a, the direction in which the slider 40 is pressed by the urging member 50 is switched from the start end P1 side to the end P2 side. Further, the position of the boundary between the pressed parts 61a and 62a is closer to the tip of the pressed part 61a than the tip of the pressed part 62a. In other words, the length of the pressed portion 62a in the sliding direction of the slider 40 is longer than the length of the pressed portion 61a. Accordingly, the range La2 in which the sliding of the display unit 20 toward the terminal end P2 by the urging member 50 is assisted can be lengthened.

  In the fully opened state, the roller 98 and the stopper 42 are in contact with each other to prevent the roller 98 from being detached from the pressed parts 62a and 61b. The contact between the roller 98 and the stopper 42 defines the end P2 position of the slide range. Further, as will be described in detail later, the roller 98 moves from the pressed portion 62a to the pressed portion 61b by a guide surface formed at the tip of the pressed portion 62a.

  Next, the transition from the fully open state to the fully closed state will be described. When the display unit 20 is slid downward from the fully opened state of FIG. 6D, the roller 98 moves up on the pressed portion 61b as illustrated in FIG. 7A. While the roller 98 is on the pressed portion 61b, a force acts so that the switching member 60b is returned to the end P2 side by the urging force of the urging member 50.

  When the display unit 20 is further slid toward the start end P1, the roller 98 moves on the pressed portion 62b as illustrated in FIG. 7B. While the roller 98 is on the pressed portion 62b, the urging force of the urging member 50 exerts a force so that the switching member 60b is pushed toward the start end P1. As a result, the roller 98 moves to the tip of the pressed portion 62b and is fully closed as illustrated in FIG. 6A. A guide surface for guiding the roller 98 from the pressed portion 62b to the pressed portion 61a is formed at the tip of the pressed portion 62b. Details will be described later.

  Thus, with the movement of the pressing position from the pressed portion 61b to the pressed portion 62b, the direction in which the slider 40 is pressed by the urging member 50 is switched from the terminal end P2 side to the starting end P1 side. Further, the position of the boundary between the pressed parts 61b and 62b is closer to the tip of the pressed part 61b than the tip of the pressed part 62b. In other words, the length of the pressed portion 62b in the sliding direction of the slider 40 is longer than the length of the pressed portion 61b. Therefore, the range Lb2 in which the sliding of the display unit 20 toward the start end P1 by the urging member 50 is assisted can be lengthened.

  As described above, the switching members 60 a and 60 b have a function of switching the direction of the slider 40 pushed by the biasing member 50. The switching members 60a and 60b are provided corresponding to the case where the display unit 20 is slid from the start end P1 to the end P2, and the case where the display unit 20 is slid from the end P2 to the start end P1, respectively. A range in which sliding is assisted by the urging member 50 can be set for each sliding direction.

  Next, the guide surface will be described. 8A to 8D are explanatory views of the guide surface. The guide surface 65a is formed at the tip of the pressed portion 62a. As illustrated in FIG. 8A, the guide surface 65a is inclined with respect to the vertical direction. Further, the roller 98 presses the guide surface 65 a by the urging force of the urging member 50. Thereby, the roller 98 slides on the guide surface 65a and moves from the pressed portion 62a to the pressed portion 61b as illustrated in FIG. 8B. Further, the guide surface 65b is formed at the tip of the pressed portion 62b. As illustrated in FIG. 8C, the guide surface 65b is also inclined. Since the roller 98 presses the guide surface 65b by the urging force of the urging member 50, the roller 98 slides on the guide surface 65b and moves from the pressed portion 62b to the pressed portion 61a as illustrated in FIG. 8D.

  Note that the ranges La1 and Lb1 may not be the same, and similarly, the ranges La2 and Lb2 may not be the same. That is, the range in which the sliding is assisted by the biasing member 50 may be changed for each sliding direction. Specifically, the ratio of the length of the pressed part 61a and the pressed part 62a in the sliding direction is different from the ratio of the length of the pressed part 61b and the pressed part 62b in the sliding direction. You may design. Thereby, for example, the range assisted by the urging force in the transition from the fully closed state to the fully opened state may be longer than the range assisted by the urging force in the transition from the fully open state to the fully closed state. .

Next, a mobile phone according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the mobile phone according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 9, the display unit and the slider are omitted.
As illustrated in FIG. 9, the mobile phone according to the second embodiment includes a guide member 44 that contacts the arm 96 at the start end P1 position, and a guide member 45 that contacts the arm 96 at the end position P2. The guide members 44 and 45 are fixed to a slider (not shown).

  10A and 10B are explanatory views of the guide member. As illustrated in FIG. 10A, the guide member 44 has a guide surface 443 and a defining surface 441. The guide surface 443 is inclined. The defining surface 441 is vertical. When sliding from the end P2 to the start P1, the roller 98 moves on the pressed portion 62b. When the roller 98 moves to the tip of the pressed portion 62b, the arm 96 contacts the guide surface 443, slides on the guide surface 443, and contacts the defining surface 441. As a result, the arm 96 is guided to swing in the thickness direction of the mobile phone. Therefore, the roller 98 moves from the pressed part 62b to the pressed part 61a.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 10B, the guide member 45 has a defining surface 451 and a guide surface 453. The guide surface 453 is inclined. The defining surface 451 is vertical. When the roller 98 moves to the tip of the pressed portion 62a, the arm 96 contacts the guide surface 453, slides on the guide surface 453, and contacts the defining surface 451. As a result, the roller 98 moves from the pressed part 62a to the pressed part 61b.

A mobile phone according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the mobile phone according to the third embodiment. In FIG. 11, the display unit and the slider are omitted.
The pressing mechanism 90 b includes a rail 93, a slide member 94 that is slidably engaged with the rail 93, an arm 96 that is swingably supported with respect to the slide member 94, and a roller 98 that is coupled to the tip of the arm 96. . The rail 93 extends in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the display unit. Further, the tip of the arm portion 55 is fixed to the slide member 94. As a result, the slide member 94 is always urged toward the switching members 60 a and 60 b by the urging member 50.

  12A and 12B are perspective views of the mobile phone according to the third embodiment. FIG. 12A shows the mobile phone in the fully closed state, and FIG. 12B shows the mobile phone in the fully open state. As illustrated in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the slide member 94 slides on the rail 93 as the display unit 20 slides. Thereby, the state in which the roller 98 pressed the switching member 60a or 60b can be maintained.

A mobile phone according to a fourth embodiment will be described.
13A and 13B are explanatory diagrams of the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 13A illustrates the configuration of a part of the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 13B illustrates a cross section of the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 13A, the display unit 20 and the slider 40 are omitted.

  A guide groove 153 is provided in the base plate 30c. The guide groove 153 extends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10c and in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the display unit 20 slides. The guide groove 153 is substantially parallel to the rail 93. A sliding member 154 for the biasing member 50 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 153. That is, the slide member 154 is provided so as to be slidable with respect to the main body portion 10c. The arm portion 53 of the urging member 50 is connected to the slide member 154. Specifically, the slide member 154 is connected to the slide member 94 of the biasing member 50 and the other end portion opposite to the one end portion connected to the arm 96. The coil unit 51 is disposed on the slide member 154. The slide member 154 is provided with a driven roller 158. The driven roller 158 is rotatable.

  The slide member 154 presses the slider 40 by the urging force of the urging member 50. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, the driven roller 158 presses the rail portion 41 of the slider 40 by the urging force of the urging member 50 and is in contact with the inside of the rail portion 41. The driven roller 158 rotates as the slider 40 slides with respect to the main body 10c. Since the slider 40 is fixed to the display unit 20, the driven roller 158 is in contact with the display unit 20 side. Therefore, the slide member 154 presses the display unit 20 side by the pressing of the biasing member 50. When the driven roller 158 and the rail portion 41 are in contact, the slide member 154 is not in contact with the end portion of the guide groove 153. For this reason, the urging force of the urging member 50 does not act directly on the main body 10c.

FIG. 14A is an explanatory diagram of the structure of the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 14B is an explanatory diagram of the structure of the mobile phone according to the third embodiment. 14A and 14B schematically show each structure.
As illustrated in FIG. 14A, the slide member 154 is slidable with respect to the main body 10c. The driven roller 158 provided on the slide member 154 is urged toward the rail portion 41 side of the slider 40 by the urging member 50. Further, the arm 96 is biased toward the switching members 60 a and 60 b by the biasing member 50. Thus, one end of the biasing member 50 biases the switching members 60 a and 60 b of the slider 40, and the other end of the biasing member 50 biases the inside of the rail portion 41 of the slider 40.

  On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 14B, in the mobile phone according to the third embodiment, one end of the urging member 50 is directly connected to the main body 10 b, and the other end of the urging member 50 is connected to the arm 96. It is connected. The arm 96 urges the switching members 60 a and 60 b provided on the display unit 20 side in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction by the urging force of the urging member 50. That is, the urging member 50 of the mobile phone of Example 3 urges the display unit 20 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction with respect to the main body 10b. For this reason, as illustrated in FIG. 14B, the display unit 20 is always urged in the left direction in FIG. 14B by the urging member 50 with respect to the main body unit 10b. A clearance for securing a slide is set between the guide portion 31 and the rail portion 41. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 14B, the frictional force between the guide portion 31 and the rail portion 41 on the left side of FIG. 14B is increased by the biasing force of the biasing member 50. Thereby, there exists a possibility that the slide of the main-body part 10b and the display part 20 may become difficult.

  In the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 14A, the urging force of the urging member 50 does not directly act on the main body portion 10c. Therefore, the display unit 20 is not biased in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction with respect to the main body unit 10c. Thereby, the slide of the display part 20 with respect to the main-body part 10c becomes easy.

  Further, the arm portion 53 of the biasing member 50 is connected to the slide member 154, and the slide member 154 is connected to the main body portion 10c side. For this reason, even if it is a case where the display part 20 slides with respect to the main-body part 10c, the biasing member 50 can be hold | maintained in the predetermined position of the main-body part 10c. Thereby, even if it is a case where the display part 20 slides with respect to the main-body part 10c, switching member 60a, 60b can be pressed, hold | maintaining the biasing member 50 in a predetermined position.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.・ Change is possible.

  The mobile device is not limited to a mobile phone. For example, a device such as a PDA or a notebook computer in which two housings are connected so as to be linearly slidable may be used. The slider 40 and the switching members 60a and 60b may be formed integrally with, for example, a synthetic resin.

  In the mobile phone according to the fourth embodiment, stoppers 42 and 43 and guide members 44 and 45 may be provided.
