Description

本発明は、ノートパソコンのような携帯型の情報処理装置(以下、総称してノートパソコンと称すの内部にメモリを取り付ける取り付け装置に関するものである。 The present invention is a portable information processing apparatus such as a notebook computer (hereinafter, collectively referred to as notebook PC) relates mounting apparatus for mounting a memory inside of.

近年、ノートパソコンはその携帯性がゆえに屋外に持ち出す機会も多い。従って軽量、コンパクト(=携帯性)以外にも堅牢性も要求される。誤って床に落下させても正しく動作するといったことも重要な要件なる。   In recent years, notebook computers have many opportunities to be taken outdoors because of their portability. Accordingly, robustness is required in addition to light weight and compactness (= portability). It is also an important requirement to operate correctly even if it is accidentally dropped on the floor.

以下に従来のノートパソコンの内部構成について説明する。   The internal configuration of a conventional notebook computer will be described below.

図3(A)はノートパソコンのケースを取り外して内部を示した図である。   FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the inside of the notebook computer with the case removed.

11はパソコンのメモリ、RAM(増設用メモリ、DIMM、以下、DIMM:Dual Inline Memory Moduleと称す。)であり、図示しないケースに着脱可能な蓋があり、これを取り外すことでDIMMの取り付け、取り外しが可能である。   Reference numeral 11 denotes a personal computer memory and RAM (additional memory, DIMM, hereinafter referred to as DIMM: Dual Inline Memory Module). A case (not shown) has a detachable lid. Is possible.

図4はDIMMの取り付ける手順を示した図である。   FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a procedure for installing a DIMM.

11はDIMM、12はメモリスロット、13はスロットレバーである。図4(A)のようにDIMM11の電極をメモリスロット12の方向(矢印の方向)に向かって挿入する。DIMM11の挿入後、スロットレバー13を図4(B)の矢印に移動させてDIMM11を動かないように押さえつけて固定する(図4(C))。
また、他の従来技術として、特許文献1には、傾斜部を有する板バネの付勢によりメモリカードの装着状態を保持するようにしたものが示されている。
特開2002ー24770号公報
11 is a DIMM, 12 is a memory slot, and 13 is a slot lever. As shown in FIG. 4A, the DIMM 11 electrode is inserted in the direction of the memory slot 12 (the direction of the arrow). After the DIMM 11 is inserted, the slot lever 13 is moved to the arrow in FIG. 4B, and the DIMM 11 is pressed and fixed so as not to move (FIG. 4C).
As another conventional technique, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228561 discloses a memory card mounted state that is maintained by biasing a leaf spring having an inclined portion.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-24770

しかしながら上記の従来の構成では、DIMMが実装された状態でノートパソコンを誤って落下させてしまった場合、その衝撃でDIMM11がスロット12から外れてしまう。また長時間の振動の結果、やはりDIMM11がスロット12から抜け落ちてしまうこともあり得る。この時ノートパソコンは電源ONしても正しく動作しない。ノートパソコンの場合、移動したり屋外に持ち出す機会も多くなり、このような事故は充分あり得ることである。   However, in the above-described conventional configuration, if the notebook personal computer is accidentally dropped while the DIMM is mounted, the DIMM 11 is detached from the slot 12 due to the impact. In addition, the DIMM 11 may fall out of the slot 12 as a result of vibration for a long time. At this time, the notebook computer does not operate correctly even when the power is turned on. In the case of a notebook computer, there are many opportunities to move or take it outdoors, and such an accident is quite possible.

この対応策として図3(B)に示すように、DIMM11が脱落する方向(矢印)へ移動しないようにフレーム14−2を新たに設け、このフレーム14−2によりDIMM11を支え、衝撃、振動でDIMM11がスロット12から抜け落ちないようにしているものがある。 As a countermeasure, as shown in FIG. 3B, a new frame 14-2 is provided so that the DIMM 11 does not move in the direction of dropping (arrow), and the DIMM 11 is supported by the frame 14-2. There is one that prevents the DIMM 11 from falling out of the slot 12.

しかし、実際の落下テストの結果、図5に示すような過程でDIMM11はスロットレバー13に加えてフレーム14−2による対策に対してもスロット12から抜け落ちることがある。すなわち、落下の衝撃でDIMM11はフレーム下部(図示)を歪曲させ(図5(B))、さらにDIMM11の重量と衝撃でフレーム14−2から外れて抜け落ちる(図5(C))。 However, the results of the actual drop test, DIMM 11 in the process shown in FIG. 5 may fall off from the slot 12 against measures by frame 14-2 in addition to the slot lever 13. That is, the DIMM 11 distorts the lower part of the frame (shown) due to the impact of the drop (FIG. 5B), and further falls off the frame 14-2 due to the weight and impact of the DIMM 11 (FIG. 5C).

本発明は上記従来の問題点を解決するものであり、以下のような新たなDIMM脱落防止フレーム構成とした。
(1)DIMMが抜け落ちる方向への移動を阻止するDIMM脱落防止フレームを設け、かつ、そのDIMM脱落防止フレームに、前記DIMMとの隙間を無くすように配置した突起を一体に成形したものである。
これにより、DIMMを取り付けたときにDIMM脱落防止フレームとDIMMの間に隙間がないようにすることで、落下の衝撃→「隙間あるので」DIMMが抜け、移動→DIMMの重みでフレーム歪曲→DIMM脱落、の過程を断つようにした。
(2)DIMM脱落防止フレームにノートパソコンの筐体に適当な隙間をもって当接する脚を一体に成形した。
(3)DIMM脱落防止フレームを落下の衝撃で歪曲しないようにリブを付けて補強する。
