Description

The present invention relates to a wire rod routing structure and a routing method in an electronic device housing.

Conventionally, when the housing of an electronic device is composed of a case body and a lid (or cover) that closes the opening surface thereof, wire rods such as lead wires and cables are conventionally placed in the case body or the lid during the assembly process or repair. In the state of being routed, the lid is attached to the case body and closed. At that time, it is easy to bite the wire between the case body and the lid. In order to prevent such biting, an evacuation space for temporarily retracting the wire rod when the lid body is attached and a fixed space for holding the wire rod after fixing the lid body to the case body are provided inside the case body. It has been proposed to construct it (see, for example, Patent Document 1). It is also known that a boss provided in the equipment housing for routing the wire rod is used, and the operator performs the work while comparing the procedure manual with the actual equipment at the time of assembly.

The radio device 50 is inserted into the pocket portion 201 of the housing 20 and is positioned and fixed. The housing 20 has a space 206 for removing and operating the radio device 50 from the housing 20. This space 206 is provided at a position corresponding to the upper back side of the radio device 50 in a state of being attached to the housing 20. The radio 50 can be easily removed from the charging holder 10 by inserting a finger into this space 206. The protrusion 207 provided on one side around the pocket portion 201 of the case body 202 is used for positioning the radio device 50 to be inserted into the pocket portion 201.

(Each opening surface of the case body and lid)
FIG. 3 shows a state in which the lid 203 of the charging holder 10 is removed and the opening surfaces of the case body 202 and the lid 203 are facing upward. A charging circuit board 210 or the like is arranged inside the holder body 20, and the power input terminal 205 provided on the lid 203 and the charging circuit board 210 provided on the holder body 20 are connected by a wire rod 213 such as a cable. Has been done. The lid 203 side of the wire 213 is routed and held by using a plurality of ribs 215 erected on the lid 203, and the case body 202 side of the wire 213 is connected to the connector terminal of the charging circuit board 210 by a socket 214. ing.

A socket 312 is attached to the connector terminal of the contact terminal board 310. The tip of the lead wire 313 led out from the charging circuit board 210 is connected to the socket 312. The other end of the lead wire 313 is connected to the socket 211 attached to the connector terminal of the charging circuit board 210.

(Wire wire routing structure and routing method)
FIG. 4 shows a routing structure and a routing method of the wire rod 213 in the housing 20 of the charging holder. A charging circuit board 210 (circuit board), a wire rod 213 electrically connected to the circuit board 210, and the like are built in the housing 20, that is, the case body 202 and the lid 203. The wire rod 213 in this example is a cable that connects the circuit board 210 on the case body 202 side and the power input terminal 205 on the lid 203 side across the cable. The wire rod 213 is not limited to this, and includes lead wires, harnesses, and the like that electrically connect various substrates and parts. After the wire rod 213 is routed into the case body 202 and the lid body 203, the case body 202 and the lid body 203 are closed by abutting each opening surface.

The inner wall 203a facing the opening surface of the lid 203 is provided with a plurality of ribs 215 (216, 217, ... 221; collectively referred to as ribs 215) for routing the wire rod 213. These ribs 215 are erected in a row on the inner wall 203a of the lid 203 so as to be separated from each other, and have a shape having a direction indicating a position where the wire rod 213 is routed and passed. These ribs 215 can be integrally provided at the time of molding the lid 203.

The shape of the rib 215 having the above-mentioned directionality may be an arrow shape indicating a position where the wire rod 213 is routed and passed when the rib 215 is viewed upward in the vertical direction. With such a configuration, the operator can confirm the routing passage position of the wire rod 213 at a glance without looking at the procedure manual or the like, the routing work becomes easy, and the work error is less likely to occur.

In this example, at least a part of the ribs 215 is arranged so that the wire rod 213 is meandered and passed between the plurality of ribs. Here, the continuous ribs 217 and the ribs 218 have different directions of arrow shapes, indicating that the wire rod 213 moves from one side to the other between the ribs 217 and the ribs 218. According to this configuration, the wire rod 213 is surely held between the plurality of ribs 215 due to the flexibility or rigidity of the wire rod 213. Therefore, when the case body 202 and the lid 203 are closed, the wire rod 213 is less likely to be caught, and the closing work becomes easier.

Further, when the wire rod 213 is routed in the vicinity of the side wall 203b of the lid 203, a plurality of protrusions 231 are provided on the side wall 203b, and the ribs 215 are arranged in the vicinity of the protrusions 231. The wire rod 213 is fitted between such a rib 215 and the protruding portion 231 of the lid 203. With such a simple configuration, the wire rod 213 can be reliably held by the side wall 203b of the lid 203.

FIG. 5 shows another example of the wire routing structure and routing method. In this example, of the plurality of ribs 215 provided in a row of arrows, the ribs 216-219 are sequentially alternately oriented in different directions. Therefore, the operator can meander the wire rod 213 by simply routing the wire rod 213 in the direction indicated by the rib 216-219 without looking at the procedure manual or the like. Thereby, the wire rod 213 can be easily and surely held by the inner wall 203a of the lid body 203. Regarding the ribs 221-223 provided near the side wall 203b of the lid 203, the ribs 221 having an arrow shape indicating the side wall direction, the rib 222 indicating the direction opposite to the side wall, and the rib 223 indicating the side wall direction are , Are arranged sequentially. By using such ribs 221-223, it becomes easy to hold the wire rod 213 along the side wall 203b of the lid 203.

As described above, according to the wire rod routing structure and routing method in the electronic device housing according to the present embodiment, the routing position of the wire rod 213 in the electronic device housing is intuitive by using the rib 215 having a directional shape. It is understood that the work efficiency is improved by a simple structure as compared with the conventional case, and it is possible to easily prevent the wire rod 213 from being bitten when the opening surfaces of the case body 202 and the lid 203 are abutted against each other and closed. ..

The present invention is not limited to the configuration and method of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above, the rib 215 is erected on the inner wall 203a of the lid 203. It may be erected on the side wall 203b of the lid 203 or the inner wall or side wall of the case body 202, and such a thing is also included in the technical scope. Further, the shape of the rib indicating the position to be routed and passed may be not only an arrow but also a triangular shape or a semi-elliptical shape, for example. Further, the electronic device is not limited to the charging holder 10, and can be applied to any device.
