Similarly, the second lateral wall portion 13 of the first holder case 10a has a support portion 132 that movably (slides) the second support member 41 with an inclination symmetrical to the central axis CL of the holder case 10. Is formed. The support portion 132 is configured to have two indicator pieces 132a that slidably support the second support member 41. As shown in FIG. 3, the support portion 132 has the same inclination angle θ as the first support member 31 and is arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10. The inclination angle θ is, for example, 60 °, and is set to an acute angle of 90 ° or less.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second support member 41 is movable (sliding) symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10 with respect to the first support member 31. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the inclination angle θ of the support portion 132 shown above is set symmetrically with respect to the inclination angle θ of the support portion 131 with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10.

The second lateral wall portion 13 of the first holder case 10a includes a rotating shaft 133 that rotatably supports the first support member 31 and the pinion gear 60 that meshes with the rack gear portions 35 and 45 of the second support member 41.

The damper member 80 is attached to the first holder case 10a by fixing the attachment portion 82 to the damper fixing portion 134.

Further, for example, two locking portions 135 for locking the inner member 20 are formed on the upper portion of the second lateral wall portion 13 of the first holder case 10a. Each locking portion 135 is composed of a hole portion 135a into which the locking projection portion of the inner member 20 can be inserted, and a long hole portion 135b formed in communication with the hole portion 135a.

In the second holder case 10b, engaging portions 14c are formed at, for example, four places, and are assembled and integrated with the locking portions of the first holder case 10a (not shown). As a result, the holder case 10 having a bottomed box shape is configured.

For example, two locking portions 136 for locking the inner member 20 are formed on the upper portion of the second lateral wall portion 14 of the second holder case 10b. Each of the locking portions 136 is composed of a hole portion 136a into which the locking projection portion of the inner member 20 can be inserted, and a long hole portion 136b formed in communication with the hole portion 136a.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, an upper panel 160 is mounted on the opening 16 side of the holder case 10. The upper panel 160 is formed with an opening 16 into which the electronic device 200 is inserted. When the upper panel 160 is attached to the holder case 10, the opening 16 of the upper panel 160 functions as an opening of the holder case 10.

(Inner member 20)
The inner member 20 is detachably housed in the storage space 17 of the holder case 10 so that the electronic device 200 can be held in the thickness direction T of the electronic device 200 shown in FIG. Holding by the inner member means having a member that at least supports the electronic device 200 in the thickness direction of the electronic device 200, and keeping the electronic device 200 in a state where it does not easily move in the thickness direction T. In the present embodiment, in the case of the thin electronic device 200, the support mechanism 30 can hold the electronic device 200 in the thickness direction. Therefore, it suffices if the inner member 20 can hold the electronic device 200 in the thickness direction T, and in the case of the electronic device 200 having a thickness equal to or less than a predetermined thickness, the electronic device 200 is held in the thickness direction T by the support mechanism 30 and has a thickness equal to or greater than the predetermined thickness. In the case of the electronic device 200, the inner member 20 holds the electronic device 200 in the thickness direction. Further, the inner member 20 is an inner that is replaceably mounted in the accommodation space 17 of the holder case 10.

The inner member 20 is made of an elastic soft material such as a soft resin. The soft resin is preferably, for example, a resin having excellent heat insulating properties, such as urethane resin and melamine resin. In addition, rubber or the like having excellent heat insulating properties can be used, and for example, foamed elastomer, silicon sponge or the like can also be used.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the inner member 20 is formed in a bottomed U-shape. The inner member 20 is roughly composed of a front surface portion 21 facing the front surface 230 of the electronic device 200, a back surface portion 22 facing the back surface 240 of the electronic device 200, and a bottom portion 23 having a bottom.

Further, flange portions 21a and 22a are formed on the upper portions of the front surface portion 21 and the back surface portion 22, respectively, and the upper panel 160 is mounted in the accommodation space 17 of the holder case 10 as shown in FIG. It is configured to protrude from. As a result, the flange portions 21a and 22a can be easily attached to and detached from the holder case 10 by pinching them with fingers or the like and pulling them upward.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, two locking projections 24 are formed on the upper portion of the front surface portion 21. The locking protrusions 24 are fitted with a head 24a inserted into the hole 135a of the locking portion 135 of the first holder case 10a and a fitting formed at the base of the head 24a to be narrower than the head. It is composed of a part 24b. As shown in FIG. 4B, the head portion 24a is inserted into the hole portion 135a, the fitting portion 24b moves downward in a state of being fitted into the elongated hole portion 135b, and the inner member 20 is the first holder. It is fixed to the case 10a. Since the locked state of the locking protrusion 24 and the first holder case 10a can be released by the reverse operation of the above, the inner member 20 can be easily attached to and detached from the holder case 10.

Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, two locking projections 25 are formed on the upper portion of the back surface portion 22. The locking protrusions 25 are fitted with a head 25a inserted into the hole 136a of the locking portion 136 of the second holder case 10b and a fitting formed at the base of the head 25a to be narrower than the head. It is composed of a part 25b. The head portion 25a is inserted into the hole portion 136a, the fitting portion 25b moves downward in a state of being fitted into the elongated hole portion 136b, and the inner member 20 is fixed to the second holder case 10b. Since the locked state of the locking protrusion 25 and the second holder case 10b can be released by the reverse operation of the above, the inner member 20 can be easily attached to and detached from the holder case 10.

As described above, in the wireless power supply holder 1 according to the present embodiment, since the inner member 20 is detachable in the accommodation space 17 of the holder case 10, even if an object is dropped in the holder case 10. It is possible to easily take out the dropped object by removing the inner member 20.

As shown in FIGS. 5 (a), 5 (b), and 5 (c), the inner member 20 projects toward the feeder 50 side (back surface 22 side) at the front surface 21 and comes into contact with the electronic device 200 to come into contact with the electronic device 200. It has a protruding portion 26 that presses 200 toward the feeder 50 side. The protruding portion 26 has, for example, a mountain shape and is in a shape that allows contact with the electronic device 200, and protrudes toward the feeder 50 side (back surface portion 22 side). The protruding height H of the protruding portion 26 toward the feeder 50 side is equal to or less than the inclined portion of the first support member 31 and the second support member 41, which will be described later. Details of this will be described in the support mechanism 30 described later.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the electronic device 200 is thin in the thickness direction, the electronic device 200 is moved to the feeder 50 side by the inclined portions of the first support member 31 and the second support member 41 described later. Pressing pressure is applied. That is, the electronic device 200 is held in a state of being pushed toward the feeder 50 side in the thickness direction of the electronic device 200 by the support mechanism 30 (not shown) shown in FIG. 5B. Therefore, the protruding portion 26 of the inner member 20 is hardly deformed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the electronic device 200 is thick in the thickness direction, the electronic device 200 is subjected to a pressing force toward the feeder 50 side by the protruding portion 26 of the inner member 20. That is, as shown in FIG. 5C, in the electronic device 200, the protruding portion 26 comes into contact with the electronic device 200, and due to the elastic force due to the deformation of the protruding portion 26, the feeder 50 side in the thickness direction of the electronic device 200. It is held in the state of being pushed to.

The bottom portion 23 of the inner member 20 is formed so as to be inclined toward the feeder 50 side. The inclined bottom portion 23 exerts an action of moving the electronic device 200 toward the feeder 50 side. As a result, it is possible to more reliably supply power and charge the electronic device 200 by the power supply device 50.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a gap 18 is provided between the bottom 15 of the holder case 10 and the inclined bottom 23 of the inner member 20. As a result, even if the protruding portion 26 is deformed and the bottom portion 23 of the inner member 20 moves downward to generate an extra length due to the deformation of the inner member 20, the gap portion 18 facilitates absorption of the extra length.

(Modification example)
Further, as shown in FIG. 5D, in the front surface portion 21 of the inner member 20, the width dimension w2 in the vicinity of the protruding portion 26 can be made smaller than the width dimension w1 of the front surface portion 21. As a result, the protrusion 26 can be made softer. Further, this makes it possible to prevent the first support member 31 and the second support member 41, which will be described later, from interfering with each other when moving forward and backward. Further, the air flow can be improved to reduce the temperature rise of the electronic device 200.

(Support mechanism 30)
In the first embodiment, the support mechanism 30 is provided on the other side wall portion 13 of the second side wall portion to which the power supply 50 is not mounted, and the first side wall portion is provided on the side wall portions 11 and 12, respectively. The first support member 31 and the second support member 41 have openings 11a and 12a, and apply an urging force to the side surfaces 210 and 220 of the electronic device 200 via the first openings 11a and 12a, respectively. As a result, an urging force can be applied so as to hold the electronic device 200 at a predetermined position substantially coincided with the central axis CL of the holder case 10 in the width direction W shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4B, the first support member 31 moves back and forth with respect to the electronic device 200, and comes into contact with and abuts on the side surface 210 of the electronic device 200, and the first support portion 32 and the first support member 31. It is configured to have a first arm portion 33 that is coupled to the support portion 32 and slidably supported with respect to the holder case 10.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the first support portion 32 is formed with two contact portions 32a and 32b on the side facing the electronic device 200. The abutting portions 32a and 32b are formed in a protruding shape toward the side facing the electronic device 200, and when holding the electronic device 200, they come into contact with and come into contact with the electronic device 200 substantially at the same time. The contact portions 32a and 32b are preferably formed as curved surfaces such as rounded surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the first support portion 32 has an inclined portion 32c and a flat portion 32d, and the contact portions 32a and 32b are formed on the inclined portion 32c and the flat portion 32d. There is. The inclined portion 32c is formed on the side close to the feeder 50, and the flat portion 32d is formed on the side far from the feeder 50 so that the ends thereof are continuous with each other.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the electronic device 200 is thin in the thickness direction, the side surface 210 of the electronic device 200 comes into contact with and abuts on the inclined portion 32c. As a result, the electronic device 200 receives the partial force of the urging force of the first support unit 32 in the direction of the electronic device 200, so that a pressing force is applied to the power feeder 50 side.

Here, the protrusion height H of the protrusion 26 of the inner member 20 toward the feeder 50 side shown in FIG. 5B is equal to or less than the inclined portion 32c of the first support member 31. The protruding height H is determined by the positional relationship between the tip portion 26a of the protruding portion 26 of the inner member 20 and the boundary portion 32e between the inclined portion 32c and the flat portion 32d. That is, when the protruding height H of the protruding portion 26 is equal to or less than the inclined portion 32c, it means that the tip portion 26a of the protruding portion 26 reaches the boundary portion 32e or does not reach the boundary portion 32e. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the electronic device 200 is thin in the thickness direction, the electronic device 200 is subjected to a pressing force toward the feeder 50 side by the protruding portion 26 of the inner member 20. Instead, a pressing force is applied to the feeder 50 side by the inclined portion 32c of the first support member 31.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the electronic device 200 is thick in the thickness direction, the side surface 210 of the electronic device 200 contacts and abuts on the flat portion 32d. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 7 (b), the electronic device 200 is subjected to a pressing force toward the feeder 50 side by the protruding portion 26 of the inner member 20.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the first arm portion 33 has an elongated hole portion 34 that is movably (sliding) supported by the support portion 131 of the first holder case 10a. The movable range of the first support member 31 is defined by the movable distance between the support portion 131 and the elongated hole portion 34. As shown in FIG. 4B, the state in which the end surface 32f of the first support portion 32 is in contact with the first lateral wall portion 11 of the first holder case 10a may be set as the initial position in which the electronic device 200 is not inserted. can. As a result, the opening 11a of the first lateral wall portion 11 is closed, and the intrusion of dust and the like can be suppressed.

The forming direction of the elongated hole portion 34 of the first arm portion 33 is the moving direction (sliding direction) of the first support member 31 (first arm portion 33) when the first support member 31 is assembled to the first holder case 10a. ) Is set to have the inclination angle θ shown in FIG.

A rack gear portion 35 is formed on the first arm portion 33. The rack gear portion 35 is formed in parallel with the elongated hole portion 34 and meshes with the pinion gear 60.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4B, the second support member 41 is formed symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10. Like the first support member 31, the second support member 41 includes a second support portion 42 and a second arm portion 43.

Like the first support member 31, the second support portion 42 is formed to have two contact portions 42a and 42b, an inclined portion 42c, and a flat portion 42d. Further, the second arm portion 43 is formed with an elongated hole portion 44 and a rack gear portion 45.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the first support member 31 and the second support member 41 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10. Both the rack gear portion 35 and the rack gear portion 45 mesh with the pinion gear 60. As a result, the first support member 31 and the second support member 41 can move symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10.

Both ends of the coil spring 70 as an elastic member for generating an urging force are locked between the spring locking portion 36 of the first support member 31 and the spring locking portion 46 of the second support member 41. In the initial state in which the electronic device 200 is not inserted as shown in FIG. 4B, the coil spring 70 is in an extended state. As a result, it is possible to always give an urging force to the electronic device 200 while the electronic device 200 is being inserted or is being held.

This urging force acts in the direction of the inclination angle θ set symmetrically with respect to the central axis CL of the holder case 10 shown in FIG. 4 (b). That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the electronic device 200 is inserted in the A direction, the electronic device 200 pushes the first support member 31 and the second support member 41 in the R1 direction and the L1 direction, respectively, and as a reaction force thereof. , The electronic device 200 receives an urging force in the directions opposite to the R1 direction and the L1 direction, respectively. As a result, the electronic device 200 is held in the holder case 10 in the left-right direction (width direction W shown in FIG. 1) in FIG. 4 (b).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4B, the damper member 80 can be attached to the holder case 10 so that the meshing gear 81 of the damper member 80 meshes with the pinion gear 60.
