Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、CD−ROMドライブ、フロッピーディスクドライブ等の付属機器を着脱自在に設けたパーソナルコンピュータ等の電子機器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、パーソナルコンピュータ等にあっては、その用途に応じて種々の記憶装置が組み込まれている。例えば、汎用性等を重視するときはフロッピーディスクドライブが組み込まれ、又高記憶容量等を重視するときはCD−ROMドライブが組み込まれている。
【0003】
従って、パーソナルコンピュータ等において、記憶装置をその用途に応じて取り換えることができるようにすれば、用途が飛躍的に向上するため、この記憶装置を着脱自在とすることに対する要望が高まった。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、記憶装置を着脱自在とした場合、パーソナルコンピュータ自体にこの記憶装置を取出す手段を設け、そしてこの手段の操作部をコンピュータの外側に露呈して設ける必要があり、更にコンピュータ内に記憶装置をロックする手段を設ける必要があった。
【0005】
ところで、近年は、所謂ノートブックタイプと呼ばれる携帯型のコンピュータが注目を浴びているが、このように携帯するものにあっては、その外部に突起部等があると、持ち歩いているときに他の物に引っ掛かることがあり、上記のように記憶装置を取出す手段の操作部をコンピュータの外側に露呈して設けることには問題があった。
【0006】
本発明の電子機器は、上記の点に鑑みなされたもので、操作部が電子機器本体の開口に臨んで設けられ、前記操作部が操作されることにより装着された付属機器を取出す取出し手段と、電子機器本体の開口を開閉自在とし、閉じたとき前記付属機器に係合して付属機器を電子機器本体内にロックするロック部材を有する蓋体とを設けたことを特徴とするものである。
【0007】
【作用】
本発明は、上記のように構成したものであるから、蓋体を閉じることにより、取出し手段の操作部をこの蓋体により覆うことができ、又蓋体のロック部材により付属機器を電子機器本体内にロックすることができる。
【0008】
【実施例】
本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
【0009】
図1はパーソナルコンピュータ(1)の斜視図を示し、このパーソナルコンピュータ(1)は、キーボード(図示せず)等を設けた本体(2)と、この本体(2)に回動自在に設けたディスプレイ部(3)及び本体(2)の前面から挿脱自在に設けたCD−ROMドライバ(4)とを有している。
【0010】
図2はCD−ROMドライバ(4)の斜視図を示し、その両側部には本体(2)内への挿入を案内するガイド溝(5)(5)が設けられ、又下面には本体(2)内にロックするためのロック孔(6)(6)が設けられている。
【0011】
而して、CD−ROMドライバ(4)にあっては、本体(2)に挿入されると、その後面に設けたコネクタ(図示せず)と本体(2)内のコネクタ(図示せず)が接続され、そして持ち運び時等において本体(2)から外れるものを防止すべく、本体(2)内にロックされる。以下、このCD−ROMドライバ(4)のロック装置について説明する。
【0012】
図3は、本体(2)内のCD−ROMドライバ(4)のロック装置部分の斜視図を示し、(7)は本体(2)の内底部に摺動自在に設けた脱着レバーで、図4に示すように本体(2)に設けたガイドリブ(8)(8)に摺動リブ(9)(9)を係合させることで摺動動作を可能ならしめている。尚、このガイドリブ(8)(8)と摺動リブ(9)(9)との間には、コイルバネ(10)(10)が介装されており、この脱着レバー(7)を後方に付勢している。又、脱着レバー(7)の両側には、CD−ROMドライバ(4)のガイド溝(5)(5)に係合する脱着リブ(11)(11)が設けられている。この脱着リブ(11)(11)は、ガイド溝(5)(5)との組合せでCD−ROMドライバ(4)の脱着を案内し、そして特にCD−ROMドライバ(4)の装着位置ではガイド溝(5)(5)の端部(12)(12)(図2参照)に当接して装着の完了位置を定める役割を果たす。更に、脱着レバー(7)には、本体(2)の下面に形成した開口(13)に臨むように把持部(14)が設けられている(図5参照)。(15)(15)は脱着レバー(7)の上方の動きを規制する固定用金具で、本体(2)に設けたボス(16)(16)(図4参照)にネジ止めされている。尚、このボス(16)(16)には、脱着レバー(7)の後方への動きを規制する規制リブ(17)(17)が設けられている。(18)は本体(2)の開口(13)を開閉自在とする蓋体で、図1に示すように、本体(2)の切欠き部(19)により外部から開閉できるように構成されている。詳しくは、一側を本体(2)に枢着し、図4に示すように他側に設けた凸部(20)を本体(2)の凹部(21)に係合可能なように構成している。ところで、この蓋体(18)の他側には、ロック用リブ(22)(22)が設けられており、図5に示すように、蓋体(18)を閉めたときには、このロック用リブ(22)(22)がCD−ROMドライバ(4)のロック孔(6)(6)内に嵌り込むようにしている。即ち、蓋体を開いた状態でCD−ROMドライバ(4)を本体(2)内に装着し、その後、蓋体(18)を閉めて脱着レバー(7)の把持部(14)を覆うようにすると、それと同時にCD−ROMドライバ(4)を本体(2)内にロックすることができるのである。
【0013】
而して、上記のように、本体(2)内にロックされたCD−ROMドライバ(4)を本体(2)から取出すとき、図6に示すように、蓋体(18)を開いてロックを外し、そして把持部(14)を前方に押して脱着リブ(11)(11)にてガイド溝(5)(5)の端部(12)(12)を同方向に押すことにより行なうことができる。即ち、これにより、CD−ROMドライバ(4)の前部が本体(2)から飛び出すので、その前部をつかみ引っ張り出すことができるのである。
【0014】
尚、脱着レバー(7)を前方に押した後、手を放すと、コイルバネ(10)(10)により、この脱着レバー(7)は規制リブ(17)(17)と当接する位置まで自動的に復帰する。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記のように、蓋体を閉じることにより、取出し手段の操作部をこの蓋体により覆うことができ、又蓋体のロック部材により付属機器を電子機器本体内にロックすることができるようにしたものであるから、操作部が他の物に引っ掛かることを防止できると共に付属機器専用のロック部材を設ける必要がない。

[0003]
Accordingly, if a storage device can be replaced in a personal computer or the like according to its use, the use is drastically improved. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for making this storage device detachable.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the storage device is made detachable, it is necessary to provide means for taking out the storage device in the personal computer itself, and to expose the operation unit of this means to the outside of the computer. Further, the storage device is provided in the computer. It was necessary to provide a means for locking.
[0005]
By the way, in recent years, a so-called notebook type portable computer has been attracting attention. In the case of such a portable computer, if there is a projection or the like on the outside, it may be difficult to carry it around. There is a problem in exposing the operation unit of the means for taking out the storage device to the outside of the computer as described above.
[0006]
The electronic device of the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an operation unit is provided facing the opening of the electronic device main body, and takes out the attached device that is attached by operating the operation unit. The opening of the electronic device main body can be freely opened and closed, and a lid having a lock member that locks the auxiliary device into the electronic device main body by engaging with the accessory when closed is provided. .
[0007]
[Action]
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the operation portion of the take-out means can be covered with the lid by closing the lid, and the accessory device is attached to the electronic device main body by the lock member of the lid. Can be locked in.
[0008]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a personal computer (1). The personal computer (1) is provided with a main body (2) provided with a keyboard (not shown) and the like, and the main body (2) is rotatably provided. It has a display unit (3) and a CD-ROM driver (4) provided to be detachable from the front surface of the main body (2).
[0010]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the CD-ROM driver (4). Guide grooves (5) and (5) for guiding insertion into the main body (2) are provided on both sides thereof, and the main body ( 2) Lock holes (6) and (6) for locking in are provided.
[0011]
Thus, when the CD-ROM driver (4) is inserted into the main body (2), a connector (not shown) provided on the rear surface thereof and a connector (not shown) in the main body (2) are provided. Are locked in the body (2) to prevent them from being detached from the body (2), such as when carried. Hereinafter, the locking device of the CD-ROM driver (4) will be described.

In addition, coil springs (10) (10) are interposed between the guide ribs (8) (8) and the sliding ribs (9) (9), and the detachable lever (7) is attached to the rear. It is fast. Further, on both sides of the detachable lever (7), detachable ribs (11) (11) that engage with the guide grooves (5) (5) of the CD-ROM driver (4) are provided. The detachable ribs (11) and (11) guide the detachment of the CD-ROM driver (4) in combination with the guide grooves (5) and (5), and in particular the guide at the mounting position of the CD-ROM driver (4). It plays the role of contacting the end portions (12) and (12) (see FIG. 2) of the grooves (5) and (5) to determine the mounting completion position. Further, the detachable lever (7) is provided with a gripping portion (14) so as to face an opening (13) formed on the lower surface of the main body (2) (see FIG. 5). (15) and (15) are fixing brackets that restrict the upward movement of the detachable lever (7), and are screwed to bosses (16), (16) (see FIG. 4) provided on the main body (2). The bosses (16) and (16) are provided with restriction ribs (17) and (17) for restricting the backward movement of the detachable lever (7). (18) is a lid that allows the opening (13) of the main body (2) to be freely opened and closed, and is configured to be opened and closed from the outside by a notch (19) of the main body (2) as shown in FIG. Yes. Specifically, one side is pivotally attached to the main body (2), and the convex portion (20) provided on the other side as shown in FIG. 4 is configured to be engageable with the concave portion (21) of the main body (2). ing. By the way, on the other side of the lid (18), locking ribs (22) and (22) are provided. When the lid (18) is closed as shown in FIG. (22) (22) is fitted into the lock holes (6) and (6) of the CD-ROM driver (4). That is, the CD-ROM driver (4) is mounted in the main body (2) with the lid open, and then the lid (18) is closed to cover the gripping portion (14) of the detachable lever (7). Then, at the same time, the CD-ROM driver (4) can be locked in the main body (2).
[0013]
Thus, when the CD-ROM driver (4) locked in the main body (2) is taken out from the main body (2) as described above, the lid (18) is opened and locked as shown in FIG. And the gripping portion (14) is pushed forward and the end portions (12) and (12) of the guide grooves (5) and (5) are pushed in the same direction by the detaching ribs (11) and (11). it can. That is, as a result, the front part of the CD-ROM driver (4) pops out from the main body (2), so that the front part can be grasped and pulled out.
[0014]
When the detaching lever (7) is pushed forward and then released, the detaching lever (7) is automatically brought into contact with the regulating ribs (17) and (17) by the coil springs (10) and (10). Return to.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, as described above, by closing the lid, the operation portion of the take-out means can be covered with this lid, and the accessory device can be locked in the electronic device main body by the lock member of the lid. Thus, the operation unit can be prevented from being caught by other objects, and there is no need to provide a lock member dedicated to the accessory device.
