Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device unit and a dustproof method thereof.

  The keyboard tends to accumulate dust that naturally accumulates in the gap between the key tops and dust that falls into the gap when the dirt is noticed and wiped off. In addition, since the key top is recessed between the key tops, it is currently difficult to clean. In addition, dust accumulated on the keyboard may cause poor contact.

  Patent Document 1 describes a keyboard having a fan. In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the inside of the keyboard casing is pressurized by a fan to prevent intrusion of dust and the like, and air is blown from the inside of the keyboard casing to the outside through the gap of the keyboard. I have to.

JP 2007-79835 A

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the keyboard becomes large because a fan is provided in the keyboard.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide an electronic device unit having a dustproof function without changing the size of the keyboard and a dustproof method thereof.

  An electronic device unit according to the present invention includes an electronic device that exhausts the taken air to the outside through an exhaust hole, and an exhaust cable that is connected to the exhaust hole and draws the exhaust discharged from the exhaust hole into the intake hole of the keyboard. And an exhaust cable and a keyboard that is connected via an air intake hole and exhausts the exhaust gas taken into the frame of the keyboard from the periphery of the key top.

  A dustproof method for an electronic device unit according to the present invention includes taking air into the electronic device from the outside, taking the taken air into the keyboard frame through an exhaust cable connected to the electronic device, The air taken in is discharged from around the key top.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the magnitude | size of a keyboard is not changed and the electronic device unit which has a dustproof function can be provided.

It is a figure which shows the electronic device unit concerning embodiment. It is a figure which shows the case where the exhaust cable concerning embodiment has a communication cord.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an electronic device unit 1 according to the present embodiment. The electronic device unit 1 includes an electronic device 10, an exhaust cable 11 connected to the electronic device 10 via an exhaust connection hole 103, a keyboard 12 connected to the exhaust cable via an intake connection hole 121, a display 20, Have

  The electronic device 10 is a general so-called desktop computer, and includes a processing device for realizing a predetermined function. Further, the electronic device 10 includes a housing 100, a suction hole 101 formed in the housing 100 for taking in air from the outside, a housing 100 mounted on the housing 100, and the housing from the outside via the suction hole 101. 100, a cooling fan 102 for cooling the processing apparatus and the like, and an exhaust connection hole formed in the housing 100 for discharging the air taken in from the intake hole 101 to the outside via the exhaust cable 11 103.

  The exhaust cable 11 includes an exhaust connection terminal 111 for connecting to the exhaust connection hole 103 of the housing 100, an intake connection terminal 112 for connecting to the intake connection hole 121 of the keyboard 12, and the exhaust connection terminal 111 and the intake connection terminal. 112, and an exhaust pipe 113 that is a pipe through which exhaust can pass.

  The keyboard 12 has an intake connection hole 121 for connecting to the exhaust cable 11 and a plurality of key tops 122. The intake connection hole 121 introduces exhaust into the frame of the keyboard 12 and exhausts from around the key top 122.

  Since the keyboard 12 exhausts from a groove around the key top 122, dust hardly accumulates in the groove of the keyboard 12.

  In the embodiment, the air taken in by the cooling fan 102 is discharged to the exhaust pipe 113 of the exhaust cable 11 through the exhaust connection hole 103, and the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust pipe 113 is discharged from the intake connection hole 121 to the keyboard 12. It is incorporated inside the frame. The exhaust gas taken into the keyboard 12 is exhausted from the periphery of the key top 122.

  As a result, wind is blown out from the inside of the keyboard 12 frame around the key top 122 of the keyboard 12, and dust can be prevented from collecting in the grooves around the key top 122.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the exhaust of the housing 100 is used, it is not necessary to provide a fan or the like on the keyboard 12, and the size is not increased as compared with a general keyboard.

  Since dirt such as dust is difficult to accumulate in the gap around the key top 122, the keyboard 12 does not need to be cleaned, and troubles such as poor contact with the keyboard 12 are reduced. For example, if this embodiment is applied to the keyboard 12 in a public place, regular cleaning of the keyboard 12 in the public place can be reduced.

  The exhaust cable 11 may be further integrated with a communication cord for electrically connecting the housing 100 and the keyboard 12. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a case where the exhaust cable 11 is integrated with the communication cord 116.

  In the embodiment, the exhaust pipe 113 and the communication cord 116 are combined into one connection cord 17. The communication cord 116 is connected to a housing connection terminal 114 for electrical connection with the housing 100 and a keyboard connection terminal 115 for electrical connection with the keyboard 12.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a state where the connection cord 17 is connected to the housing 100. In the vicinity of the exhaust connection terminal 111 and the housing connection terminal 114, the connection cord 17 communicates with the exhaust pipe 113 so that the exhaust connection terminal 111 and the housing connection terminal 114 can be connected to the housing 100, respectively. The cord 116 is divided into two forks. Incidentally, the communication cord 116 may be accommodated in the exhaust cable 11 and integrated, or the exhaust cable 11 and the communication cord 116 may be aligned and integrated.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a state where the connection cord 17 is connected to the keyboard 12. In the vicinity of the intake connection terminal 112 and the keyboard connection terminal 115, the connection cord 17 is connected to the exhaust pipe 113 and the communication cord 116 so that the intake connection terminal 112 and the keyboard connection terminal 115 can be connected to the keyboard 12. And is divided into two branches.

  The electronic device unit 1 can be provided in a space-saving manner by the connection cord 17 in which the exhaust cable 11 and the communication cord 116 are combined.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, when the electronic device 10 and the keyboard 12 are integrated, the air taken into the electronic device 10 may be configured to be discharged from around the key top of the keyboard 12.
