  By the way, connection devices, such as an external peripheral device, need to connect a terminal component with the terminal of an electronic device in an appropriate state. As a means for guiding connection of connected devices, there is a device that guides the entire device to be connected. According to such a guide, the entire connected device can be guided toward the terminal position of the electronic device. However, some connected devices have a configuration in which, for example, only the terminal portion is inserted into the opening portion of the housing in order to enable easy attachment / detachment, and the amount of insertion into the opening portion is small. Some terminal parts to be connected have an insertion direction with respect to a terminal on the electronic device set within a certain range. Such a terminal component cannot function the connected device when the amount of insertion is insufficient or when it is not inserted in an appropriate direction or angle with respect to the terminal of the electronic device. If the insertion operation is performed without confirming the insertion state of the terminal component, the terminal component may be damaged. In addition, the configuration in which the entire connected device is housed and the insertion is guided leads to an increase in the size of the electronic device.

  In addition, terminals of electronic devices may be arranged at positions that are difficult for the user to see because the arrangement positions of the terminals are limited by, for example, thinning, downsizing, or multi-functionality of the housing. Such an electronic device is not limited to the one in which the terminal for connecting the connection device is disposed on the front surface of the housing, and is formed, for example, on the side surface or the back surface of the housing. In such an insertion operation with respect to the terminal arranged at a position where the user cannot see, even if the terminal position can be grasped, for example, there is a possibility that the insertion direction or the angle shifts with respect to the terminal during the insertion operation. is there.

  Therefore, the user of the electronic device needs to visually check the terminal position and the connection state by moving the case toward the side or back side of the case when connecting the connection device, and lifting the case. . As a result, the electronic device takes time and trouble in confirming the terminal position and connection state in the connection processing with the connection device, resulting in complicated connection work.

  Therefore, an object of the electronic device of the present disclosure is to optimize the connection state between the electronic device using the terminal component and the connection device, and to speed up and simplify the connection process.

Another object of the electronic device of the present disclosure is to increase the reliability of connection processing of an electronic device to which a connection device is connected via a terminal component.

In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the configuration of the present disclosure includes a housing and guide means. The housing is formed with an opening that exposes the terminal of the connector device into which the terminal of the connected device is inserted and removed. The guide means includes a support piece that supports a part of a side surface of the connection device, and a tray that contacts a part of the connection device and slides the support piece to the front side of the opening on the housing side. As the connection device is inserted, the support piece is slid to direct the terminal portion of the connection device toward the opening. The guide means is housed in a housing area which is a part of the housing and is formed on the peripheral side of the connector device by sliding toward the opening.

  According to the electronic device of the present disclosure, one of the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) While holding the side part of the connected device with the support piece, and sliding the support piece with the insertion operation of the connected device, the terminal part of the connected device is optimally inserted and angled with respect to the opening side. Therefore, the connection accuracy can be improved.

  (2) By sliding the tray with a part of the connected device in contact toward the opening side, the connected device can be directed to the opening side with the optimum insertion position and angle, and the connection operation can be performed. Simplification and reliability of connection processing can be improved.

For example, the electronic component is mounted on a substrate (not shown) and installed in the housing 4. For example, one or a plurality of openings 10 are formed on the peripheral surface side of the electronic device 2. The position where the opening 10 is formed depends on the type of the electronic device 2 and the size of the housing 4. For example, the opening 10 is arranged on the front side with respect to the user, or on the side or back side that cannot be directly seen.

  In the housing 4, for example, a connector device 12 is installed at a position where the opening 10 is formed, and only the terminal component 8 of the external device 6 is inserted into the connector device 12 through the opening 10. The connector device 12 is an example of an interface that electrically connects the electronic device 2 and the external device 6, for example, and is connected to a board (not shown).

At this time, the external device 6 is in a so-called cantilever state with respect to the housing 4.

  The external device 6 and the connector device 12 are not limited to those configured based on generally used standards. For example, a fixed insertion direction is set with respect to the opening 10 to be inserted and removed, and the terminal 14 and the terminal device 12 are connected. What is necessary is just to specify the external shape and dimension with the component 8 beforehand.

  <Configuration Example of Guide Part 16>

  The guide component 16 is an example of a guide unit that supports the external device 6 to be inserted and guides it in a direction and an angle set with respect to the opening 10 side. The guide component 16 includes, for example, a support piece 20 that supports a part of the side surface of the external device 6 and a tray 22 that protrudes to the front surface side of the opening 10 of the housing 4 and supports the external device 6 in contact therewith.

  The support piece 20 is an example of means for defining the insertion direction of the external device 6 and directing the terminal component 8 in a certain direction. In the support piece 20, for example, two support means are installed on the plane of the tray 22 so as to face each other with a certain distance, and a part of the external device 6 is sandwiched between the two support means. The installation interval of the support means may be set in accordance with the width of the portion where the external device 6 contacts the support piece 20, and when contacting the terminal component 8, a constant width based on the standard to which the terminal component 8 conforms. Is set. The support piece 20 is made of, for example, a resin material, and a contact portion with the external device 6 is formed in a plane having a constant width. The support piece 20 may be formed integrally with the tray 22, for example, or another part may be erected on the tray 22. In addition, when the support piece 20 contacts other than the terminal component 8 of the external device 6, for example, the arrangement interval of the support means may be determined based on a preset width of the contact portion.

  In addition, the support piece 20 is not restricted to the case where the support means which clamps the external apparatus 6 is two. As a part of the external device 6, for example, the terminal component 8 may be oriented in a certain direction with the left and right or the upper and lower sides being sandwiched, and may be composed of two or more.

  The tray 22 is an example of a unit that guides the external device 6 in the insertion direction via the support piece 20 that supports the external device 6. The tray 22 slides in accordance with the insertion operation of the external device 6 and is inserted into the housing 4 side. Thus, the support piece 20 is slid to the opening 10 side of the housing 4. The tray 22 is made of, for example, a resin material and is formed in a flat plate shape having a predetermined thickness and width. The tray 22 brings a part of the external device 6 into contact with a flat plate. Accordingly, the external device 6 is sandwiched between the side surfaces by the support piece 20, and the surface other than the contact surface with the support piece 20 is supported by the tray 22, and is supported in contact from at least three directions.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the tray 22 may be disposed on the bottom surface side of the external device 6, and a part of the outer casing or the terminal component 8 of the external device 6 may be placed on the flat plate portion. In this case, a part of the flat plate portion of the tray 22 contacts a part or one surface of the terminal component 8.

  The tray 22 is, for example, in the vicinity of the connector device 12 installed in the opening 10, and the flat plate portion slides along one side of the terminal 14 and is stored in the storage area 18. The guide component 16 is installed, for example, so as to slide along the bottom side of the connector device 12. Thereby, the installation position of the connector device 12 is set with respect to the opening 10 according to, for example, a width in which the tray 22 can slide.

  Further, the tray 22 and the connector device 12 arranged in the opening 10 are such that the external device 6 supported by the support piece 20 is guided to the opening 10 side by the slide of the tray 22, and the terminal component 8 is connected to the connector device 12. The relative position and the relative height are set so as to be inserted into the terminal 14. The relative position and relative height between the tray 22 and the connector device 12 are set based on the size and type of the terminal component 8 for each external device 6 to be connected, the size of the exterior housing, or the like.

  <About the insertion guide of the external device 6>

  For example, the external device 6 is inserted at a position where the terminal component 8 is inserted between the support pieces 20 with respect to the tray 22 protruding to the front side of the opening 10. The arrangement distance of the support piece 20 is set according to the terminal component 8 conforming to the standard that can be inserted into the connector device 12, and the terminal component 8 of the different type of external device 6 is not supported. In the guide component 16, the terminals to be connected are defined by a predetermined standard or the like, or the device to be connected is defined, so that the support position by the support piece 20 can be determined based on the connection conditions. .

  The supported terminal component 8 is directed toward the opening 10 side by the contact of the support piece 20 with respect to an insertion operation by the user of the electronic device 2, for example. The guide component 16 holds the terminal component 8 and a part of the exterior casing by the support piece 20, thereby absorbing the bias in the lateral force acting on the external device 6 by the insertion operation and opening the external device 6. Guide to section 10. The support piece 20 can direct the terminal component 8 toward the opening 10 by preventing, for example, displacement of the external device 6 in the left-right direction and displacement of the terminal component 8 in the left-right rotation direction.

  For example, the user of the electronic device 2 may hold the exterior casing of the external device 6 and perform an insertion operation, or may grip both the exterior casing and a part of the guide component 16. Then, by bringing the external device 6 close to the electronic device 2, the tray 22 slides toward the storage area 18 by this operating force, and the external device 6 is guided to the connector device 12.

  Note that the tray 22 is not limited to the one disposed on the bottom side of the external device 6, and may be one that contacts the left and right or the upper side to contact a part of the outer casing or the terminal component 8.

  According to such a configuration, the side part of the external device 6 is sandwiched between the support pieces 20, and the tray 22 and the support piece 20 are slid in accordance with the insertion operation of the external device 6, whereby the terminal component 8 of the external device 6. Can be guided while being directed to the optimum insertion position and angle with respect to the opening 10 side. In addition, the connection accuracy can be improved. In addition, by sliding the tray 22 in contact with a part of the external device 6 toward the opening 10, the external device 6 is opened in the state where the support piece 20 is directed to the optimum insertion position and angle. 10 side. Thereby, the position confirmation of the opening part 10 by visual observation becomes unnecessary, and simplification of connection operation and the reliability of a connection process can be improved.

For example, the substrate 32 includes a plurality of mounting substrates in which the mounting components are classified for each functional component or for each arrangement position in the housing 4. May be. In this case, the board 32 is composed of, for example, a main board on which a processor and a RAM are mounted, and one or a plurality of sub-boards that are connected to the main board so that data can be transmitted and received and on which a connector device or the like is mounted. That's fine.

  <Configuration Example of Slide Mechanism 36>

  The housing 4 is provided with a slide rail 40 on the bottom side, for example. The slide rail 40 is formed with a certain length toward the opening 10 formed on the side surface of the housing 4, for example. The slide rail 40 may be formed integrally with the housing 4, or a rail member may be installed in accordance with the position of the opening 10.

  Further, the guide component 16 is formed with an engaging portion 42 that is engaged with the slide rail 40 at a part of the tray 22, for example. The engaging portion 42 is an example of a slide mechanism 36 that slides the guide component 16 by being engaged with the slide rail 40. The engaging portion 42 is formed on the other end side with respect to one end of the tray 22 on which the support piece 20 that protrudes outside the housing 4 is formed, for example, and slides within the storage area 32 of the housing 4.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the engaging portion 42 is installed along the sliding direction of the tray 22. The engaging portion 42 has a width of the slide rail 40 so as to engage both side surfaces for each slide rail 40. Accordingly, two engaging pieces are arranged in parallel. The length of the engaging portion 42 may be set according to the amount of sliding that causes the guide component 16 to protrude from the housing 4.

The guide component 16 is restricted from sliding by the convex portion 62 coming into contact with one end of the engagement window portion 46. At this time, the engaging portion 42 regulates, for example, the protruding amount of the tray 22 and prevents the end of the opening 10 side from the inner wall side of the housing 4 in order to prevent the guide component 16 from being discharged from the opening 10. It is good also as a structure made to contact.

  For example, when the external device is guided by being inserted into the opening 10 side or when the external device is not used, the guide component 16 is stored in the storage area 34 inside the housing 4 through the opening 10 as shown in FIG. It is pushed in and stored. The guide component 16 whose one end projects to the outside of the housing 4 slides along the slide rail 40 to the inside of the housing 4. The guide component 16 is restricted from sliding when the projection 62 comes into contact with one end of the engagement window 46 on the center side of the tray 22, for example.

  <About support structure of external device by guide component 16>

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a support state of the external device by the support piece. The configuration shown in FIG. 8 is an example.

  The guide component 16 shown in FIG. 8 shows an example in which the support piece 20 supports a part of the terminal component of the external device 50. The external device 50 is an example of a device using a USB standard terminal, for example. The external device 50 includes, for example, an insertion portion 54 to be inserted and an exposed portion 56 that is exposed to the front side of the opening 10 in a state where the external device 50 is inserted into the connector device 12 in a part of the housing portion 52 or the terminal component.

  The casing 52 is an example of a part that is gripped by a user or the like and is carried out by a user or the like, and may be made of an insulating resin material or the like in order to insulate the user's finger or the like. For example, the outer shape and dimensions are not set, but the casing 52 is configured in a shape and dimensions that do not hinder support of the terminal component with respect to the guide component 16.

  When the guide component 16 is configured to support a part of the housing portion 52, the housing shape and dimensions of the external device 50 to be used are acquired in advance, and the arrangement interval of the support pieces 20 of the guide component 16 is set. You can do it.

  The insertion unit 54 is a configuration example that is inserted into the connector device 12 through the opening 10. For example, the front end side of the external device 50 is opened, and a plurality of communication lines or terminals are exposed inside (not shown). . The insertion portion 54 is made of, for example, a metal member or a part of a resin member. The width W1 of the insertion part 54 is set based on the standard of the terminal 14 to which it conforms, for example, and is formed in the magnitude | size which can be inserted in the terminal 14 of the connector apparatus 12. FIG. Further, the width W2 of the flat plate surface of the tray 22 may be set, for example, to be equal to or larger than the width W1 of the insertion portion 54. More ideally, the width W1 of the insertion portion 54 and the thickness of the left and right support pieces 20 are totaled. Set to width.

  The exposed portion 56 is a configuration example of a terminal component of the external device 50 and is formed between the housing 52 and the insertion portion 54. For example, when the exposed portion 56 is connected to the connector device 12, the exposed portion 56 is not inserted into the terminal 14 and is exposed to the inside of the opening 10 or the front side. The exposed portion 56 may be formed integrally with the insertion portion 54, for example. The installation width W3 of the support piece 20 that contacts and supports both side surfaces of the exposed portion 56 may be set based on the sum of the width of the exposed portion 56 and the thickness of the support piece 22, for example, You may set equally.

  <Example of Support State of External Device 50 by Guide Component 16>

  Since the exposed portion 56 is not inserted into the connector device 12 in the connection process of the external device 50, the exposed portion 56 is used as a support area supported by the support piece 20 of the guide component 16. For example, the guide component 16 supports at least the exposed portion 56 on the flat plate of the tray 22 and supports the support pieces 20 in contact with both side surfaces of the exposed portion 56. The length of the support piece 20 is set according to the height of the exposed portion 56, for example, and the tip portion protrudes higher than the exposed portion 56. Further, the tip portion of the support piece 20 is bent, for example, in the opposing direction, and a claw portion 58 that is fitted to a part of the upper surface side of the exposed portion 56 is formed. The claw portion 58 is an example of a fitting claw to be fitted to a part of the external device 50, and may be configured integrally with the support piece 20, or another member may be installed on the front end side of the support piece 20. Also good.

  As a result, the terminal component 8 is placed on the tray 22 on the bottom side, and is supported by the support pieces 20 on both side surfaces. The guide component 16 is in contact with a part or all of the bottom surface, both side surfaces, and the top surface of the terminal component 8 in the insertion operation of the external device 50, so that the external device is at least in the lateral and vertical directions with respect to the insertion direction. 50 is prevented from leaving. Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, the guide component 16 prevents the terminal component 8 from rotating by the support piece 20 against the operating force transmitted from the housing portion 52 side, and directs the insertion portion 54 in a certain direction.

  The guide component 16 slides the tray 22 to the opening 10 side by the insertion operation force of the external device 50, so that the insertion part 54 supported by the support piece 20 is moved to the opening 10 side as shown in FIG. 9B. It is guided and inserted into the terminal 14 of the connector device 12. The guide component 16 makes the support piece 20 come into contact with a part of the surface facing the opening 10 with respect to the external device 50, and slides toward the opening 10 in response to an insertion operation of the external device 50.

  For the guide component 16, for example, a slide stroke is set based on the length L <b> 1 of the engagement window portion 46 that engages with the convex portion 62 of the slide rail 40 (FIG. 9A). When the tray 22 is pulled out by the user, for example, the guide component 16 slides for a length L1 at the maximum. At this time, for example, the tray 22 protrudes from the housing 4 to the support piece 20 with a length L2 on the front side of the opening 10.

  When the external device 50 is installed on the protruding tray 22, the tray 22 slides toward the opening 10 by an insertion operation with respect to the external device 50. The insertion portion 54 of the external device 50 is inserted into the terminal 14 of the connector device 12 when the tray 22 slides for a length L2, for example. At this time, the engaging portion 42 is slid with respect to the convex portion 62 of the slide rail 40 with the length, that is, the slide stroke L3 during the insertion process.

  Since the guide piece 16 according to this embodiment has a configuration in which the support piece 20 is housed in the opening 10, the slide stroke L1 and the length L2 that is the protruding amount of the tray 22 and the slide for connecting the connector are provided. Stroke L3 is equivalent. However, the guide component 16 may vary the slide amount when the external device 50 is not installed, for example, and the slide amount when the external device 50 is connected to the terminal 14. That is, the guide component 16 is connected to the slide stroke L1 when, for example, the support piece 20 is not inserted into the opening 10 when the external device 50 is connected to the terminal 14, or when the support piece 20 is brought into contact with other than the exposed portion 56. The slide stroke L3 may be different.

  <Example of Cross-Sectional Structure of Electronic Device 30>

  In the electronic device 30, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the connector device 12 and the substrate 32 are installed with respect to the opening height of the opening 10. The guide component 16 is installed on the slide rail 40 based on the installation height of the opening 10 and the connector device 12. The board 32 is placed on, for example, a boss 70 formed on the bottom surface side of the housing 4, and a fixed part 71 such as a screw, a bolt, or another latch part is formed in the hole formed or installed in the boss 70. Fixed.

  The opening width W4 of the opening 10 is formed wider than the terminals 14 of the connector device 12 disposed inside the electronic device 30, for example. The opening width W4 prevents, for example, the insertion portion 54 of the external device 50 to be inserted from being damaged due to contact with the opening portion 10, and also supports the support piece 20 when the support piece 20 of the guide component 16 is accommodated. It is used as an insertion area 73 for

  <Regarding installation height adjustment of external devices>

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the height adjustment function of the guide part. The configuration shown in FIG. 11 is an example.

  In the external device 50, for example, the exposed portion 56 is placed on the placement convex portion 64 of the tray 22, and the installation height with respect to the guide component 16 is adjusted. The mounting convex portion 64 is set to a height at which the height from the flat plate of the tray 22 to the center of the insertion portion 54 is arranged on the central axis O of the connector device 12 installed in the opening 10. In other words, the height h1 of the mounting convex portion 64 may be formed such that the sum of the height h1 and the thickness h2 that is half the thickness of the terminal is the height h3 from the flat plate surface of the tray 22 to the central axis O. The height h1 of the device convex portion 64 is set to a certain value because the terminal component to be placed is set according to a standard or the like, or is a specific terminal that is grasped in advance.

  <About the connector connection guide operation>

  12, 13 and 14 show an example of an insertion processing procedure using guide parts. The processing contents shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14 are examples.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the guide component 16 accommodated in the housing 4 has an operation portion 38 protruding from the front side of the opening 10. In the insertion process of the external device 50, the user's finger or the like is brought into contact with the operation unit 38, and the position of the guide component 16 is grasped by the user. Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, the operation unit 38 is gripped, the tray 22 is slid, and the guide component 16 is pulled out to the front side of the opening 10.

  The guide component 16 shown in FIG. 13 is pulled out to the maximum value of the slide stroke, for example. The guide component 16 is not limited to the case where the guide component 16 is pulled out to the maximum value of the slide stroke. If the guide piece 16 is pulled out to a position where at least the support piece 20 is located outside the housing 4 and the external device 50 can be placed on the tray 22. Good.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the external device 50 installs the insertion portion 54 toward the electronic device 30 side with respect to the support piece 20 and the tray 22 of the guide component 16 protruding to the outside of the housing 4. For example, the external device 50 allows the insertion portion 54 to pass between the support pieces 20 arranged to face each other, or to be placed from the upper side so as to spread the claw portion 58 formed at the tip of the support piece 20. . And if the exposed part 56 or its peripheral part is supported by the support piece 20, for example, the external apparatus 50 will be pushed toward the opening part 10 side by user operation. In this insertion operation, for example, at least the casing 52 of the external device 50 may be gripped and a force applied to the casing 4 side. Further, in the insertion operation, the tray 22 and the operation unit 38 of the guide component 16 are gripped together with the housing unit 52.

  Then, when an operating force is applied to the external device 50 toward the opening 10 side, the tray 22 slides as the support piece 20 receives the force. Thus, the guide component 16 is guided and inserted into the terminal 14 side of the connector device 12 with the insertion portion 54 directed toward the opening 10 side.

  Further, in this insertion operation, for example, when the installation position of the external device 50 and the direction of the terminal with respect to the guide component 16 are inappropriate, or when the external device 50 of a terminal component of a different standard is installed, the guide component 16 is opened. 10 cannot be properly slid. In other words, the position and height of the guide component 16 are set such that only the external device 50 corresponding to the terminal 14 of the connector device 12 can be inserted, thereby preventing erroneous insertion of the external device.

  Note that the tray 22 of the guide component 16 may be provided with a display means capable of determining whether or not it has been slid with a set stroke, for example.

  <Other configuration examples of the slide function>

  FIG. 15 shows a configuration example in which a stopper is provided in the slide mechanism. The configuration shown in FIG. 15 is an example.

  The guide component 16 shown in FIG. 15 has a stopper function that prevents the tray 22 from sliding between the slide rail 40 and the engaging portion 42, for example. The engaging window portion 46 of the engaging portion 42 is formed with stopper portions 72 and 74 that are brought into contact with the convex portion 62 of the slide rail 40 at a certain distance from both end portions toward the center, for example. The stoppers 72 and 74 are, for example, convex portions in a state in which the tray 22 protrudes most from the opening 10 as shown in FIG. 15A and a state in which the tray 22 is housed in the housing 4 as shown in FIG. 62 is placed in contact.

  The stopper parts 72 and 74 may be formed integrally with the engaging part 42, for example, or another part may be installed. In addition, the stopper portions 72 and 74 are not limited to being installed at two locations in the engagement window portion 46, and may be, for example, only a place where the tray 22 comes into contact or two or more arbitrary You may install in the position. The stoppers 72 and 74 are formed at such a height that the convex part 62 can get over while sliding by sliding the tray 22, and the convex part 62 unintentionally moves in the engagement window part 46. To prevent. Further, the guide part 16 can give a certain click feeling to the user by the structure in which the convex part 62 rides over the stopper parts 72 and 74, and it can reach an appropriate position without visually observing the tray 22 in the insertion operation. It can be recognized that the tray 22 has been inserted or withdrawn.

  According to such a configuration, in the insertion operation in which a part of the external device 6 is gripped, the terminal component to be inserted is directed to the opening 10 side by the contact of the support piece 20 and the tray 22, and the tray 22 is oriented in the oriented state. Therefore, the insertion state can be optimized by guiding to the opening 10 side. In addition, since the insertion direction of the external device 6 is set by the tray 22 drawn out from the housing 4 and the insertion direction is limited by the support piece 20, it is not necessary to confirm the position of the opening 10 or the connection state. Connection operation can be simplified and speeded up. With the configuration in which the insertion is supported in the optimum insertion height and direction, it is possible to facilitate the discrimination of the external device 6 that does not correspond to the connector device 12, and to prevent damage to the terminal components due to erroneous insertion.

  [Third Embodiment]

  FIG. 16 shows a configuration example of an electronic device according to the third embodiment. The configuration shown in FIG. 16 is an example.

  An electronic device 80 illustrated in FIG. 16 is an example of the electronic device of the present disclosure. The electronic device 80 includes, for example, a side housing 82 that is installed on the side of the electronic device 80, and a bottom housing 83 that is configured integrally with the side housing 82 or a separate member and that is installed on the bottom of the electronic device 80. Is provided. The side case 82 and the bottom case 83 include, for example, a resin material or a metal material.

  For example, one or a plurality of openings 84 that allow the external device 50 to be inserted into the electronic device 80 are partially formed in the side housing 82, and a connector device (not shown) that connects to the external device 50 is formed therein. is set up. The opening 84 indicates the insertion position of the external device 50 by exposing the terminal of the connector device to the outside of the electronic device 80. The electronic device 80 is provided with a guide component 86 that guides the insertion process of the external device 50 into the opening 84 side. The guide component 86 is an example of means for gripping a part of the external device 50 and directing the terminal component of the external device 50 toward the opening 84.

  The guide component 86 follows the insertion operation performed toward the opening 84 side by using the slide of the tray. As a result, the guide component 86 guides the external device 50 to the opening 84 side while maintaining a constant insertion angle.

  In the side housing 82, for example, a storage hole 94 is formed on the peripheral side of the opening 84 to store a part of the guide component 86 by sliding it into the electronic device 80. For example, the storage hole 94 may be formed with a storage area for storing the tray of the guide component 86 inside the housing. The internal configuration of the electronic device 80 and the configuration of the connector device installed inside the opening 84 may be configured in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In addition, the bottom casing 83 may be formed with, for example, legs for supporting the electronic device 80 on the exterior side, cooling holes for cooling functional components installed inside the casing, and the like.

  A guide component 86 shown in FIG. 17A includes a support piece 90, a tray 92, and a slider 102. The support piece 90 fixes a terminal component in a certain direction by sandwiching a part of the outer casing of the external device 50 from both side surfaces, and also prevents the external device 50 from being subjected to an insertion operation force applied by the user. It is an example of a means for directing the insertion direction. The tray 92 is an example of a unit that is brought into contact with a part of the external device 50 and slides the support piece 90 toward the opening 84 as the external device 50 is inserted.

  The slider 102 is an example of a means that is formed on a part of the tray 92 on the plane side and slides in the slide hole 100 formed in a part of the bottom surface casing 83 to slide the tray 92. The slide hole 100 is an example of a slide rail, and regulates the slide stroke and slide direction of the slider 102 engaged inside.

  For example, when the guide device 86 does not support the external device 50, the guide component 86 is stored inside the electronic device 80, and the support piece 90 protrudes toward the storage hole 94. When the guide component 86 is slid to the opening 84 side while guiding the external device 50, for example, the slider 102 is inserted to a predetermined position of the slide hole 100.

  <About insertion guide processing>

  In the insertion guide processing of the external device 50 by the guide component 86, the slider 102 is slid to the position where the maximum stroke of the slide hole 100 is obtained, for example, as shown in FIG. The external device 50 is placed on the tray 92 protruding from the opening 84 by this slide. At this time, the external device 50 is installed, for example, by adjusting a set portion of the exterior housing to a position where the external device 50 is clamped with respect to the support piece 90. When the user performs an insertion operation on the external device 50, the slider 92 together with the support piece 90 slides toward the storage hole 94 and is inserted into the electronic device 80 from the side housing 82 side. Accordingly, the terminal component of the external device 50 is inserted into the opening 84 in a state where the terminal component is directed toward the opening 84 by the guide component 86.

  <Configuration Example of Guide Component 86>

  As shown in FIG. 18, the guide component 86 is formed with a slider 102 that protrudes toward the bottom surface housing 83 at the tip end portion of the tray 92 and is slid into the slide hole 100. Thus, when the tray 92 is pulled out to a certain amount, the slider 102 is brought into contact with the end portion of the slide hole 100, and the slide is restricted.

  Further, the tray 92 is inserted into the external device 50 by placing the tray 92 in contact with, for example, a part of the bottom casing 83 in the storage hole 94 or by making the height when the storage hole 94 passes constant. Fluctuations can be prevented. In addition, the tray 92 includes a placement portion 104 that fixes the placement height with respect to the guide component 86 by bringing the housing portion 52 of the external device 50 into contact with a part of the flat plate surface. The mounting portion 104 may be configured to be stored in the storage hole 94 by sliding the tray 92. Accordingly, the guide component 86 can maintain the supported external device 50 at a certain height, and can store the tray 92 inside the electronic device 80 when the external device 50 is not supported.

  When the guide component 86 is pulled out from the state accommodated in the electronic device 80, for example, the position of the guide component 86 can be indicated to the user by the support piece 90 protruding outside the housing. In addition, an operation unit for performing a pull-out operation of the guide component 86 may be installed in a part of the tray 92.

  <About other configuration examples of the electronic device>

As shown in FIG. 19, the electronic device 80 includes, for example, a USB connector opening 110, a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector opening 112, a wireless LAN jack opening 116, and the like. Also, an interface terminal 114 for inserting an external monitor cable is provided. Therefore, the electronic device 80 may include, for example, guide parts 86a, 86b, 86c, and 86d that match the widths of the openings and the terminals with respect to the openings 110, 112, and 116 and the interface terminal 114, respectively.

  In each of the openings 110, 112, 116 and the interface terminal 114, an external device such as a cable terminal to be inserted is installed in each guide component 86a, 86b, 86c, 86d, and an insertion operation is performed. Accordingly, by directing the terminals to be connected by the guide parts 86a, 86b, 86c, 86d to the openings 110, 112, 116 and the interface terminal 114, the insertion operation can be optimized, and the insertion position of the external device The visual confirmation of the insertion state can be omitted.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to optimize the insertion operation for the connector device 12 by directing the terminal component by supporting the casing of the external device 50. Further, by providing the storage hole 94 through which the slidable tray 92 is passed, the opening 84 that exposes the connector device 12 can be formed to a minimum size, and there is a possibility that foreign matter is mixed into the electronic device 80. Can be reduced.

  [Fourth Embodiment]

The tray 92 is disposed, for example, on the peripheral side of the opening 124 and is slid in the insertion / extraction direction of the external device 50.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21A, the electronic device 120 has a tray 92 installed in a part of the exterior surface of the bottom casing 123 in parallel with the opening 124 and the connector device 12 installed in the opening 124. Is done. The bottom housing 123 is provided with a slider 130 as an example of a slide mechanism for the tray 92, for example. The slider 130 is composed of rails that support both sides of the tray 92 along the sliding direction with respect to the surface of the bottom casing 123. For example, the slider 130 projects from the bottom casing 123 toward the bottom side of the electronic device 120, and its tip The portion is bent along the plane side of the tray 92. Accordingly, the tray 92 can be slid in a certain direction by placing a side surface portion parallel to the sliding direction along the slider 130 and sliding a part of the flat surface portion placed on the slider 130.

  In the insertion process of the external device 50 by the guide component 86, for example, as shown in FIG. . Then, the guide component 86 in which a USB cable or the like is installed as the external device 50 slides the tray 92 in conjunction with the USB cable insertion operation, and directs the terminal component toward the opening 124.

  Further, when the insertion guide process for the external device 50 is not performed, the guide component 86 is, for example, the tray 92 is accommodated in the slider 130 until the support piece 90 approaches or comes close to the side housing 122. . That is, the slider 130 forms a storage area for storing the tray 92.

  The slider 130 or the tray 92 may be provided with a stopper mechanism for restricting the slide stroke of the tray 92, for example. This stopper mechanism can be used for confirming the insertion amount of the external device 50 and can prevent the tray 92 from falling off the slider 130. In addition, the tray 92 may be provided with a placement surface portion that adjusts the installation height of the external device 50 as described above.

  In this embodiment, the case where the tray 92 and the slider 130 are installed on the bottom surface side of the electronic device 120 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The tray 92 and the slider 130 may be installed on the side casing 122 or the upper casing of the electronic device 120 as long as the tray 92 and the slider 130 can be installed along the periphery of the opening 124.

  According to such a configuration, in the insertion operation in which a part of the external device 50 is gripped, the terminal component to be inserted is directed to the opening 124 side by the contact of the support piece 90 and the tray 92, and the tray 92 is oriented in the oriented state. Thus, the insertion state can be optimized by guiding to the opening 124 side. Further, since the insertion direction of the external device 50 is set by being placed on the tray 92 pulled out from the side housing 122 and the insertion direction is limited by the support piece 90, the position of the opening 124 can be confirmed and the connection state can be checked. Confirmation is not required, and the connection operation can be simplified and speeded up. In addition, the slider 102 is installed on the exterior side of the electronic device, and there is no need to provide a storage area or a storage hole for storing the tray 92. Therefore, a guide component can be added to the existing electronic device. It becomes possible.
