<1. First Embodiment>
(1-1. External configuration of information processing apparatus)
An example of the external configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. In the following, the notebook type personal computer shown in FIG. 1 will be described as an example of the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus 10 is not limited to a notebook personal computer, and may be an electronic device such as a tablet terminal.

  1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating an example of an external configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1 shows an open state of the display unit 20 of the information processing apparatus 10, and FIG. 2 shows a closed state of the display unit 20. 1 is a diagram of the information processing apparatus 10 viewed from the front side, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of the information processing apparatus 10 viewed from the back side.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the information processing apparatus 10 includes a display unit 20, a main body unit 30, a hinge mechanism unit 40, and a connector 50. The display unit 20 and the main body unit 30 have, for example, a flat plate shape and are formed in the same size.

  The display unit 20 includes a display screen 22 that displays various types of information. The display unit 20 is configured by a display device such as a liquid crystal display. Note that a touch panel on which the user can perform a touch operation may be superimposed on the display screen 22.

  The main body unit 30 includes an input unit 32 that receives user input operations. The input unit 32 detects a user input operation and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the input operation. The user performs an input operation using the input unit 32 when the display unit 20 is in the open state (FIG. 1). The detailed configuration of the main body 30 will be described later.

  The hinge mechanism part 40 connects the display part 20 with respect to the main body part 30 so that rotation is possible. The hinge mechanism 40 is provided on both sides of the main body 30 in the longitudinal direction (X direction shown in FIG. 1). Moreover, the hinge mechanism part 40 is provided in the one end side of the transversal direction (Y direction shown in FIG. 1) of the main-body part 30. As shown in FIG. The display unit 20 is rotated between the open state (FIG. 1) opened with respect to the main body unit 30 and the closed state (FIG. 2) closed with respect to the main body unit 30 by the hinge mechanism unit 40.

  A cable (for example, a USB cable) is connected to the connector 50. As a result, the information processing apparatus 10 can communicate with an external device via the cable. The connector 50 is attached to the board mounted inside the main body 30. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the connector 50 is provided on one end side (the hinge mechanism portion 40 side) of the main body portion 30 in the short direction.

(1-2. Internal Configuration of Main Body 30)
An example of the configuration of the main body 30 according to the first embodiment will be described. The main body 30 is configured by laminating a frame, a substrate, and a keyboard inside a housing. Below, the detailed structure of the housing | casing 100 of the main-body part 30 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an example of the configuration of the housing 100 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the casing 100 when the casing 100 of FIG. 3 is viewed from the back side. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. In FIG. 6, for convenience of explanation, a core 160 used when the housing 100 is manufactured is also illustrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the housing 100 has a top surface 112, a bottom surface 114, and three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118. The interior of the housing 100 surrounded by the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 is a space in which components can be mounted.

  The top surface 112 is an operation surface on which a user of the information processing apparatus 10 operates. The top surface 112 is a rectangular flat surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the top surface 112 is formed with an operation key hole 113a to which an operation key is attached and a touch pad hole 113b to which a touch pad is attached.

  The bottom surface 114 is a mounting surface when the information processing apparatus 10 is mounted on a desk or the like. The bottom surface 114 faces the top surface 112 having the same shape, and is connected to the top surface 112 by three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118. As will be described later, since the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are integrated, there is a gap at the boundary between the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118. Does not occur. For this reason, it can prevent that the design property of an external appearance is impaired by generation | occurrence | production of a clearance gap. Further, a screw or the like for fixing the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 is not necessary.

  The three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are side surfaces corresponding to three sides of the four sides of the housing 100. Here, in the housing 100, the X direction shown in FIG. 3 is the long side, and the Y direction is the short side. The side surfaces 116 and 117 are formed on the two short side edges of the casing 100, and the side surface 118 is formed on one of the two long side edges of the casing 100. In the present embodiment, the other of the two long sides of the housing 100 (the part corresponding to the side surface) is an opening 130 that is open as shown in FIG. Details of the opening 130 will be described later.

  By the way, in one Embodiment, in order to improve the design property and assemblability of the information processing apparatus 10, the housing | casing 100 is facing the top | upper surface 112, the bottom face 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, 118 (the side surface 118). (Except for the side surface that is the opening 130).

  As an example, the housing 100 is formed of a fiber reinforced resin. When the casing 100 is formed of fiber reinforced resin, the casing 100 can be reduced in thickness and weight. In addition, the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 of the housing 100 can be made different in thickness.

  Specifically, the housing 100 is formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The carbon fiber reinforced resin is a fiber reinforced resin using carbon fiber as a reinforcing material. An epoxy resin is mainly used as the base material. Carbon fiber reinforced resin is a material having both high strength and lightness. By forming the casing 100 with the carbon fiber reinforced resin in this way, it is possible to more effectively realize a reduction in thickness and weight of the casing 100.

  Here, a method for forming the housing 100 using the carbon fiber reinforced resin will be briefly described. After stacking a carbon prepreg around a mold called a core (core 160 shown in FIG. 6), and molding by autoclave, hot press molding, etc., the core 160 is pulled out, so that the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and The integration of the three side surfaces 116, 117, 118 can be realized. The casing 100 can be formed into an arbitrary shape by attaching an arbitrary shape to the core 160. Further, by dividing the core 160, it is possible to make a shape that cannot be formed by normal drawing. Furthermore, the thickness of the housing can be changed to an arbitrary size when the periphery of the core 160 is stacked.

  In the above description, the carbon fiber reinforced resin is described as an example of the fiber reinforced resin. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various types of fiber reinforced resins can be applied. For example, the fiber reinforced resin may be any of glass fiber reinforced resin, boron fiber reinforced resin, aramid fiber reinforced resin, and polyethylene fiber reinforced resin.

  In the above description, the housing 100 is formed of fiber reinforced resin. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 of the housing 100 are integrated. Other materials may be used as long as they can be made. For example, the casing 100 in which the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are integrated may be formed by welding sheet metal.

  By forming the housing 100 from fiber reinforced resin as described above, the thickness of the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 can be made larger than the thickness of the top surface 112 and the bottom surface 114. In other words, the top surface 112 and the bottom surface 114 can be thinned. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the casing 100 (specifically, the thickness in the Z direction shown in FIG. 3) while ensuring the rigidity of the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the relationship among the thicknesses of the side surface 118, the top surface 112, and the side surface 114. Here, the side surface 118 is described as an example, but the side surfaces 116 and 117 can have the same thickness. As shown in FIG. 7, the thickness of the side surface 118 is larger than the thickness of the top surface 112 and the side surface 114 (for example, the thickness of the side surface 118 is twice or more the thickness of the top surface 112 and the side surface 114. is there). Although the thickness of the entire side surface 118 is increased in FIG. 7, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only a part of the side surface 118 may be thickened. As a result, it is possible to reinforce the portion of the housing 100 that requires strength.

(About the opening 130)
Next, the function and the like of the opening 130 (FIG. 4) of the housing 100 integrally molded as described above will be described. The opening 130 has a function as an insertion port into which a component mounted in the housing 100 is inserted.

  In the present embodiment, a component inserted through the opening 130 is mounted inside the housing 100 when the information processing apparatus 10 (main body unit 30) is assembled. Providing such an opening 130 makes it possible to mount components inside the housing 100 without dividing the housing 100.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the opening 130 has an opening formed along one long side of the two long sides of the housing 100. Specifically, the opening 130 is formed with the entire side surface corresponding to one long side being opened. The size of the opening can be adjusted according to the size of components mounted in the housing 100. However, from the viewpoint of the part insertion port, it is desirable to enlarge the opening.

  Examples of components mounted in the housing 100 include various electrical components. For example, the parts include a keyboard and a board. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the components may include, for example, a speaker and a frame.

  In addition, components mounted inside the casing 100 are inserted so as to slide toward the inside of the casing 100 through the opening 130 when the information processing apparatus 10 is assembled. For this reason, it becomes easy to insert the component into the housing 100, and it is easy to mount the component at a desired position.

  The connector 50 (FIG. 2) described above is provided on the opening 130 side. In such a case, since the connector 50 is attached on the board inserted from the opening 130, the opening 130 can be used effectively. Further, an opening for providing the connector 50 on the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 is not necessary, and the rigidity of the housing 100 can be secured high.

  In the above description, the opening 130 is formed on one of the two long sides of the housing 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening 130 may be formed on one of the short sides of the housing 100. Even in such a case, a component to be mounted inside the housing 100 can be inserted. The opening 130 may be formed by opening a part of the top surface 112 of the housing. Therefore, the opening 130 may be formed on any one of the top surface, the bottom surface, and the side surface of the housing 100 as long as a component to be mounted inside the housing 100 can be inserted.

(1-3. Example of assembly of information processing apparatus 10)
Next, an assembly example as a manufacturing method of the information processing apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B.

  8A and 8B are schematic views for explaining an assembly example of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment. In FIGS. 8A and 8B, parts and the like are shown in a simplified manner for convenience of explanation.

  In this assembly example, first, the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are prepared to prepare the casing 100 integrally formed. The casing 100 is formed of, for example, a carbon fiber reinforced resin.

  Next, a part is inserted into the inside of the housing 100 from the opening 130 of the housing 100. Specifically, as shown in Step 1 of FIG. 8A, the component is inserted from the opening 130 into the housing 100 while being slid. The part inserted in the process 1 is, for example, the keyboard 181. As shown in step 2, the keyboard 181 slides on the stage 182 as a jig.

  Next, when the keyboard 181 slides to a position corresponding to the operation key hole 113a (see FIG. 3), the keyboard 181 is lifted by the stage 182 as shown in step 3. Thereby, the operation key of the keyboard 181 is mounted at a predetermined position protruding from the operation key hole 113a (see FIG. 1).

  Next, as step 4 shown in FIG. 8B, the module assembly 190 is slid toward the inside of the housing 100. The module unit set 190 includes a substrate module 191 mounted inside the housing 100, a display module 192 that forms the display unit 20 (see FIG. 1), and a hinge unit 193 that connects the substrate module 191 and the display module 192. Have. The board module 191 is a module including a frame and electronic components in addition to the board. The hinge part 193 corresponds to the hinge mechanism part 40 shown in FIG.

  By sliding the module assembly 190, the substrate module 191 is mounted in the housing 100 as shown in step 5. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 10 is assembled by appropriately attaching exterior members and the like.

  According to the assembly example described above, when assembling the information processing apparatus 10, components (keyboard 181 and board module 191) are slid and mounted in the housing 100 through the opening 130. For this reason, it becomes easy to mount components in the housing 100. Moreover, since the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 of the housing 100 are integrally formed, it is not necessary to fasten these surfaces with screws or the like. For this reason, the assemblability of the information processing apparatus 10 is improved.

  In the above description, the module unit 190 including the substrate module 191 and the display module 192 is slid toward the inside of the housing 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the substrate module 191 may be slid into the housing 100 and then connected to the display module 192 via the hinge portion 193.

<2. Second Embodiment>
Next, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the configuration of the housing 200 is different from the configuration of the housing 100 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following, the configuration of the housing 200 will be mainly described, and description of other configurations will be omitted.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the housing 200 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the housing 200 has a side surface 219 unlike the housing 100 according to the first embodiment, in addition to the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the three side surfaces 116, 117, and 118. The side surface 219 is a surface facing the side surface 118. By providing the side surface 219, since the four sides of the housing 200 are connected, the rigidity of the housing 200 can be increased.

  The case 200 has a top surface 112, a bottom surface 114, and four side surfaces 116, 117, 118, and 219 formed integrally. Specifically, the housing | casing 200 is formed with the fiber reinforced resin similarly to 1st Embodiment. Thereby, thickness reduction and weight reduction of the housing | casing 200 are realizable.

  The housing 200 has an opening 230 having a function as an insertion port into which a component mounted inside is inserted. As shown in FIG. 9, the opening 230 is formed with the center side in the longitudinal direction of the side surface 219 (X direction in FIG. 9) as an opening. That is, the opening 230 is formed so as to cut out a part of the side surface 219. For this reason, the side surface 219 exists only at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the housing 200.

  A specific device is mounted in the internal region of the housing 200 corresponding to the side surface 219. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the speaker 250 is mounted in the internal region of the housing 200 corresponding to the side surface 219 in the longitudinal direction.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a mounting position of the speaker 250 with respect to the housing 200. As shown in FIG. 10, the speakers 250 are mounted at both ends of the casing 200 in the longitudinal direction. The speaker 250 has substantially the same size as the length of the housing 200 in the short direction (Y direction in FIG. 10). As a result, the two speakers 250 fill both sides of the region corresponding to the opening 230 in the housing 200.

  Next, a method of mounting the speaker 250 in the housing 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a method of mounting the speaker 250 inside the housing 200. Here, a mounting method of the left speaker 250 of the two speakers 250 shown in FIG. 11 will be described.

  The speaker 250 is also inserted from the opening 230 toward the inside of the housing 200. At this time, the speaker 250 is inserted obliquely with respect to the opening 230 as shown in Step 11 of FIG. Then, as shown in step 12, the speaker 250 is inserted until the tip 251 of the speaker 250 comes into contact with the corner portion 231 inside the housing 200.

  Thereafter, as shown in step 13, the speaker 250 is rotated counterclockwise with the tip 251 as a fulcrum, and is positioned so as to be parallel to and in contact with the side surface 117. As a result, the speaker 250 is mounted at a desired position. Of the two speakers 250, the right speaker 250 is similarly mounted.

  In the second embodiment, after the two speakers 250 are mounted on the housing 200, the keyboard 181 and the module unit set 190 described in FIGS. 8A and 8B are mounted. By mounting the components in the case 200 in this order, the components can be mounted so that the internal space of the case 200 is evenly filled even if the side surface 219 is formed.

<3. Effectiveness of Information Processing Device of Present Disclosure>
As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 of the present disclosure includes the casing 100 (or the casing 200) in which the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are integrally formed as illustrated in FIG. Have. And the housing | casing 100 (200) has the opening part 130 (230) in which the components mounted in the inside of a housing | casing are inserted.

  With this configuration, it is possible to improve the designability and assemblability of the information processing apparatus 10. Hereinafter, after describing a comparative example with reference to FIGS. 12 to 16, the effectiveness of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration of a casing 900 according to a comparative example. As shown in FIG. 12, the casing 900 according to the comparative example is configured by being divided into a palm rest 910 and a housing bottom 920. The palm rest 910 constitutes the top surface of the housing 900, and the housing bottom 920 constitutes the bottom surface and side surfaces of the housing. In the case of such a configuration, after a component (such as a keyboard) is attached to either the palm rest 910 or the housing bottom 920, the other is covered.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a gap between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 according to the comparative example. Since the housing 900 is divided into two parts, a palm rest 910 and a housing bottom 920, a gap 915 is generated between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 as shown in FIG. Further, a step may be generated between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 instead of the gap 915 or together with the gap 915. If the gap 915 or the step can be visually recognized from the outside, the design of the housing 900 is impaired.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view illustrating fastening of the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 according to the comparative example with the screw 930. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the screw 930 is covered with the foot 932 in the comparative example. In order to fix the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 which are separate parts, as shown in FIG. 14, fastening with the screw 930 is performed. In order to prevent the screw 930 from being visible to the outside, the screw 930 is covered with a so-called foot 932 and hidden as shown in FIG. In such a case, the design is likely to be impaired by the foot 932 being visually recognized. Moreover, there is a possibility that the screw 930 cannot be arranged at a place where strength is required because the arrangement place of the foot 932 is limited.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a boundary portion between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 according to the comparative example. As a method of concealing the gap between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920, there is a method of providing a claw portion (specifically, a claw portion 922 of the housing bottom 920 as shown in FIG. 16) on one of the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920. Has been taken. However, in such a case, the thickness increases by the amount of forming the claw portion 922, and as a result, the weight of the housing bottom 920 becomes heavy.

  Moreover, in the comparative example, since it is necessary to fix with the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 with the screw 930, an assemblability worsens. In particular, when a large number of screws 930 are used as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, the casing 100 (200) of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present disclosure is described in the comparative example because the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are integrally formed. Such a gap or step between the palm rest 910 and the housing bottom 920 does not occur. For this reason, it can prevent that design property is impaired due to a clearance gap or a level | step difference. Further, since no gap or step is generated, the claw portion 922 shown in FIG. 16 is unnecessary, and the casing 100 can be reduced in weight.

  In addition, according to the information processing apparatus 10 of the present disclosure, the top surface 112, the bottom surface 114, and the side surfaces 116, 117, and 118 are integrally formed, so that it is not necessary to fix the housing 100 with screws. For this reason, the number of parts is reduced and the assemblability is improved.
