  In order to facilitate the operation for shifting to the recovery mode, it is conceivable to use a switch included in the electronic device disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. For example, in the electronic device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the unlocking state of the lid is detected by the switch by unlocking the lid, the mode is shifted to the recovery mode. Moreover, in the electronic device of patent document 2, if the state which the cover body opened by opening a cover body is detected by a switch, it will transfer to recovery mode.

  However, with such a configuration, when the operation of unlocking the lid or opening the lid is performed for the original purpose, there arises a problem that the mode is unintentionally shifted to the recovery mode.

  SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is that it provides an electronic device capable of performing a desired process other than detecting opening / closing of a cover by using an opening / closing operation of the cover.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a housing having a housing portion that houses storage items, and a cover that opens and closes the housing portion by sliding with respect to the housing. And an internal switch provided inside the housing, and an operation unit that enables a specific process when operated in a state of being turned on when the internal switch is pressed. A protrusion that presses an internal switch, and the protrusion between the housing and the cover is located between the position where the cover completely closes the storage portion and the position where the cover completely opens. It has a holding structure for holding the cover on the housing at the pressing position.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, since the internal switch is pressed by the protrusion while the cover is partially opened, the internal switch can be turned on without completely opening the cover. Further, since the cover is held by the housing at the position where the internal switch is pressed by the holding structure, when the operation unit is operated in that state, a specific process becomes effective. Therefore, it is possible to perform a desired process other than detecting the opening / closing of the cover using the opening / closing operation of the cover.

Further, a power switch 4 (operation unit) for turning on the power of the communication device 1 is provided on one side of the side surface portion 22. Further, the housing 2 is provided with a storage portion 27 for storing various components.

  The storage portion 27 is adjacent to the side surface portion 22 between the two leg portions 26 (the corner portion formed by the side surface portions 22 and 23 and the leg portion 26 near the corner portion formed by the side surface portions 23 and 24) in the lower surface portion 21. It is formed so as to straddle the side surface portion 23. A first flat plate portion 27 a is formed on the side surface portion 23 side of the storage portion 27, and is located on the inner side of the outer surface of the side surface portion 23, and on the lower surface portion 21 side of the storage portion 27, the inner side of the outer surface of the lower surface portion 21. The 2nd flat plate part 27b located in is formed.

  The storage unit 27 is provided with a USB terminal 27c and a memory card socket 27d as components to be stored (storage items). The USB terminal 27c is a component for connecting a USB cable connector, and is disposed on the first flat plate portion 27a. The memory card socket 27d is a component for mounting a memory card, and is disposed at a boundary portion between the first flat plate portion 27a and the second flat plate portion 27b. The stored items stored in the storage unit 27 are not limited to the USB terminal 27c and the memory card socket 27d, and may include a battery.

  The second flat plate portion 27b is provided with a slit 27e. The slit 27e is formed long in the vicinity of the one edge portion 21a in the lower surface portion 21 so as to follow the edge portion 21a.

  In the lower surface portion 21, a pair of edge portions 21 a is provided. The edge portion 21a constitutes a part of the opening portion of the storage portion 27, is located on the leg portion 26 side, and is formed to face each other. Two concave portions 21b and 21c are formed on the inner surface of each edge portion 21a with the same shape (for example, spherical shape) and the same size.

  A substrate 5 on which a plurality of circuit components are mounted is built in the housing 2. The substrate 5 is disposed so as to face the lower surface portion 21. An internal switch 6 as a circuit component is mounted on the mounting surface facing the lower surface portion 21 of the substrate 5. The internal switch 6 is disposed at a position facing the slit 27e in the substrate 5. The internal switch 6 is a push-type switch, and is turned off when not pressed and turned on when pressed.

  The internal switch 6 is a switch for shifting to the recovery mode by an ON operation. The recovery mode is an operation mode for performing processing for returning to a normal state when a problem occurs in the execution of the program that operates the communication device 1 and the communication device 1 performs an abnormal operation. Here, the internal switch 6 is used as a switch for shifting to the recovery mode, but is not limited thereto, and may be used for other purposes (such as shifting to another operation mode).

  The housing 2 includes a cover 7 as a part thereof. The cover 7 is provided to cover the storage unit 27, and opens and closes the storage unit 27 by being slidably held by the housing 2. The cover 7 includes a lower surface portion 71 constituting a part of the lower surface portion 21 and a side surface portion 72 constituting a part of the side surface portion 23. The lower surface portion 71 is disposed so as to face the second flat plate portion 27 b of the storage portion 27. Further, the lower surface portion 71 is provided with guide portions 71 a each having a predetermined length on two side surfaces in contact with the edge portion 21 a of the lower surface portion 21.

  The guide portion 71 a is formed shorter than the side surface of the lower surface portion 71. Further, the outer surface of the lower surface 71 of the guide 71a is in contact with the inner surface of the edge 21a. On the surface of the guide portion 71a that is in contact with the inner surface of the edge portion 21a, a convex portion 71b is provided at the end opposite to the end on the side surface portion 72 side. As shown in FIG. 4, the convex part 71b is formed in the magnitude | size and shape (for example, hemisphere) which fits into the recessed part 21b (and recessed part 21c (refer FIG. 7 mentioned later)) in the above-mentioned edge part 21a.

  The cover 7 is held by the housing 2 by placing the lower surface portion 71 on the second flat plate portion 27 b of the storage portion 27 and inserting the guide portion 71 a into the inner surface side of the edge portion 21 a of the lower surface portion 21. In this state, the storage unit 27 can be slidably moved.

  A protrusion 71c is provided on the inner surface of the lower surface portion 71 (the surface facing the first flat plate portion 27b). As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 71 c is formed at a position that moves in the slit 27 e when the cover 7 is slid in the storage portion 27. Further, the projection 71c does not press the internal switch 6 when the cover 7 completely closes the storage portion 27, and is positioned so as to press the internal switch 6 when the cover 7 slightly opens the storage portion 27. Has been placed. Specifically, this position is in the vicinity of the end portion (distant end portion) farther from the side surface portion 72 of the lower surface portion 71 parallel to the side surface portion 72, and the cover 7 is the storage portion. This is a position closer to the far end than the concave portion 21b of the lower surface portion 21 in a state in which 27 is completely closed. Further, the protrusion 71c is disposed in the cover 7 at a position close to the convex portion 71b and closer to the far end of the lower surface portion 71 than the convex portion 71b. Further, the protrusion 71c is provided in the vicinity of the guide portion 71a.

  The protrusion 71 c has a height that allows the internal switch 6 to be pressed in a state of being opposed to the internal switch 6. Further, the protrusion 71c is formed so that the shape of the housing 2 viewed from the side surface portion 22 side has a trapezoidal shape in which the top portion is narrower than the bottom portion, and the two corner portions at the top portion form a curved surface.

  Next, the operation of the internal switch 6 by opening the cover 7 in the communication device 1 configured as described above will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an appearance of the communication device in a state where the cover 7 is opened to a position where the internal switch 6 is pressed. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the cross-section taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 in a state where the cover 7 is opened to a position where the internal switch 6 is pressed. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the cross section taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 in a state where the cover 7 is further opened from the state in which the internal switch 6 is pressed. For convenience, in FIGS. 6 and 7, the upper and lower sides of the housing 2 are depicted opposite to those in FIG. 1.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5, when the cover 7 is closed so as to completely cover the storage portion 27, the convex portion 71 b of the guide portion 71 a is fitted into the concave portion 21 b of the lower surface portion 21 and is locked. Yes. Therefore, in this state, the following state in which the convex portion 71b is pulled out from the concave portion 21b is not maintained, and deformation of the guide portion 71a can be prevented. In this state, the protrusion 71c is separated from the internal switch 6.

  When the cover 7 is opened from this state, the convex portion 71 b comes out of the concave portion 21 b and moves on the edge portion 21 a of the lower surface portion 21. The guide portion 71a is in contact with the edge portion 21a in the state in which the convex portion 71b is fitted in the concave portion 21b as described above, but when the convex portion 71b comes out of the concave portion 21b, the vicinity of the convex portion 71b is the edge portion 21a. Get away from. For this reason, the guide part 71a needs to hold | maintain the intensity | strength which can be bent and is not damaged by bending. Therefore, the guide portion 71a is formed with a thickness and a material that satisfy the requirement.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in a state where the cover 7 is slightly opened, as shown in FIG. 7, the convex portion 71b of the guide portion 71a is fitted into the concave portion 21c of the lower surface portion 21, and is locked. . In this state, the protrusion 71c presses the internal switch 6. As a result, the internal switch 6 is turned on.

  In this state, the cover 7 has moved the distance D between the recesses 21b and 21c from the state shown in FIG. In this state, the guide portion 71a is held by the edge portion 21a by contacting the edge portion 21a in a range of about half of the guide portion 71a. Furthermore, the position where the protrusion 71c presses the internal switch 6 is located on the back side of the housing 2 with respect to the recess 21c for determining the position.

  If the distance D is too short, the interval until the convex portion 71b comes out of the concave portion 21b and fits into the concave portion 21c becomes short, so that the guide portion 71a rattles. Thereby, the pressing operation of the internal switch 6 by the projection 71c becomes unstable. Accordingly, the distance D needs to be secured to such a length that the above-described rattling does not occur.

  When the power switch 4 is turned on while the internal switch 6 is in the on state, the mode shifts to the recovery mode. This is because the internal switch 6 is turned on when the cover 7 is opened for the purpose of using the stored item in the storage unit 27 when the recovery mode is entered only when the internal switch 6 is on. This is for avoiding the transition to the recovery mode without performing the operation.

  When the cover 7 is further opened from the state in which the projection 71 c presses the internal switch 6, the convex portion 71 b comes out of the concave portion 21 c and moves on the edge portion 21 a, and the projection 71 c is separated from the internal switch 6. As a result, the internal switch 6 is turned off. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when the cover 7 is opened to a position where the guide portion 71a is removed from the edge portion 21a, the cover 7 can be detached from the housing 2. In this embodiment, the state in which the cover 7 is opened to a position where it can be removed from the housing 2 is a state in which the cover 7 completely opens the storage portion 27.

  Here, the length L of the edge portion 21a shown in FIG. 1 is set to a dimension that allows the cover 7 to be removed from the housing 2 in a state where the convex portion 71b is detached from the edge portion 21a as shown in FIG. ing.

  As described above, in the communication device 1 according to the present embodiment, the lower surface portion 71 is placed on the second flat plate portion 27b of the storage portion 27, and the guide portion 71a is on the inner surface side of the edge portion 21a in the lower surface portion 21. By being inserted into the cover 7, the cover 7 slides relative to the storage portion 27. In addition, the housing 2 and the cover 7 are provided with a projection 71 c between the position where the cover 7 completely closes the housing portion 27 and the position where the cover 7 completely opens the housing portion 27 inside the housing 2. As a holding structure for holding the cover 7 on the housing 2 at a position where the internal switch 6 is pressed, each has a concave portion 21c and a convex portion 71b fitted and locked in the concave portion 21c. Furthermore, when the power switch 4 is operated in a state of being turned on by the internal switch 6 being pressed, the transition to the recovery mode is enabled as a specific process.

  Thereby, in a state where the cover 7 is slightly pulled out, the convex portion 71 b fits into the concave portion 21 c of the lower surface portion 21, and the projection 71 c presses the internal switch 6. The user can recognize that the operation of opening the cover 7 should be stopped at the time of shifting to the recovery mode by feeling the state where the convex portion 71b is fitted in the concave portion 21c by hand. By turning on the power switch 4 in this state, the operation mode is shifted to the recovery mode. As described above, the recovery mode can be shifted by simply opening the cover 7 and turning on the power switch 4. As described above, since the operation of opening the cover 7 is used for a purpose different from the original purpose of using the stored item in the storage unit 27, no special operation is required. Therefore, the operation for shifting to the recovery mode can be facilitated.

  Further, the protrusion 71c is provided on the inner surface of the lower surface portion 71 at a position close to the guide portion 71a. Since the guide part 71a with which the cover 7 is supported by the housing 2 is stable, it is also stable in the vicinity of the guide part 71a on the lower surface part 71 and unstable because the lower surface part 71 is far from the guide part 71a. Compared to the central part, it is difficult to bend. Thereby, the protrusion 71c can press the internal switch 6 stably. Therefore, the reliability of operation of the internal switch 6 can be improved.

  In addition, the protrusion 71c is formed in a trapezoidal shape, and the top corners are curved. Thereby, when the projection 71c comes into contact with the internal switch 6, the internal switch 6 can be surely pressed, and the strength of the projection 71c can be increased. The shape of the protrusion 71c is not limited to a trapezoidal shape, and may be another shape, for example, a hemispherical shape, as long as the ease and strength of pressing the internal switch 6 can be ensured.

  The guide portion 71 a is formed shorter than the side surface of the lower surface portion 71. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8, the cover 7 can be removed from the housing 2 in a state where the projection 71c reaches the end of the slit 27e.

  The convex portion 71b is provided at a position close to the protrusion 71c, and is provided at the end portion of the guide portion 71a, which is the farthest side of the housing 2 when the cover 7 completely closes the storage portion 27. Yes. As a result, at the position where the projection 71c presses the internal switch 6, the position where the guide portion 71a is positioned on the edge portion 21a is the farthest position, so that the guide portion 71a contacts the edge portion 21a from this position. It is supported by the edge part 21a stably in the part which is doing. Further, the protrusion 71c adjacent to the convex portion 71b can stably press the internal switch 6.

  In the present embodiment, the communication device 1 as an electronic device has been described. However, it is needless to say that the configurations of the present embodiment and other embodiments described later can be applied to other electronic devices. Further, in the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, the operation of the internal switch 6 is used for shifting to the recovery mode, but is not limited to this, and for other purposes as in the third embodiment to be described later. It may be used.

As described in the first embodiment, the control unit 11 shifts to the recovery mode when the power switch 4 is turned on while the cover 7 is slightly opened and the internal switch 6 is turned on. When the control unit 11 shifts to the recovery mode, the control unit 11 performs a restoration process of starting a backup program stored in the program memory 10 or initializing by starting a reset program stored in the program memory 10. Do.

  As described above, the communication device 1A according to the present embodiment shifts to the recovery mode only when both the internal switch 6 and the power switch 4 are turned on. As a result, it is possible to avoid a problem such as accidentally shifting to the recovery mode.

[Embodiment 3]
The following will describe still another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. For convenience of explanation, components having the same functions as those described in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of the communication apparatus 1B according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  The communication device 1B (electronic device) according to the present embodiment includes a housing 2 included in the communication device 1 according to the above-described first embodiment. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. And a control unit 14 connected to the power switch 4 and the internal switch 6.

  The control unit 14 is a part that performs processing for communicating with an external device in accordance with a program stored in the program memory 13 based on a general-purpose or dedicated OS. When the power switch 4 is turned on while the internal switch 6 is turned on by slightly opening the cover 7, the control unit 14 shifts to the menu screen display mode (operation selection process). When shifting to the menu screen display mode, the control unit 14 activates a menu screen display program stored in the program memory 13 and causes the display device 101 connected to the communication device 1B to display the menu screen. The menu screen includes a menu for shifting to various modes (a plurality of operations). This menu includes the above-described recovery mode, maintenance mode for maintenance, and the like.

  The display device 101 includes an input unit that accepts an input operation such as a touch panel. When one mode is selected from the menu screen by an input operation by the user, the display device 101 notifies the control unit 14 of the selected mode. As a result, the control unit 14 activates the program stored in the program memory 13 so as to perform processing in the selected mode.

  As described above, the communication device 1B according to the present embodiment shifts to the menu screen display mode only when both the internal switch 6 and the power switch 4 are turned on. As a result, it is possible to avoid problems such as erroneously shifting to the menu screen display. In addition, since the menu screen for selecting various modes can be displayed with a simple operation, the operability of the communication device 1B can be improved.

  In addition, since the communication apparatus 1B of this embodiment does not have a display function, the display device 101 is connected to the outside, but may have a display function.

[Example of software implementation]
The control units 11 and 14 in the second and third embodiments are realized by software using a CPU (Central Processing Unit). However, the control units 11 and 14 may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC chip) or the like.

  In the former case, the control units 11 and 14 are provided with CPUs or the like for executing the instructions of the programs stored in the program memories 10 and 13, respectively. And the objective of this invention is achieved because the control parts 11 and 14 read the said program from the program memories 10 and 13, and run it. The recording medium for storing the program is not limited to the program memories 10 and 13, but a “non-temporary tangible medium” such as a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used. The program may be supplied to the communication devices 1, 1A, 1B via any transmission medium (communication network, broadcast wave, etc.) capable of transmitting the program. The present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave in which the program is embodied by electronic transmission.
