Description

  The present invention relates to an opening / closing mechanism, an apparatus with an opening / closing mechanism, and a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly to an opening / closing mechanism, an apparatus with an opening / closing mechanism, and a mobile communication terminal suitable for a mobile phone having a movable housing.

  With the widespread use of mobile phones, there is a tendency to be treated not only as a tool for communication but also as an item indicating the individuality of the user. For this reason, not only functions and performance as a communication device but also added values such as design are the criteria for users to select products.

  However, it is difficult to apply customization that satisfies all users as a product. Therefore, personalization is generally performed by decorating the user himself / herself, and it can be said that many users are requesting personalization of mobile phones. Such personalization has factors of differentiating from others, and also has a large factor of self-satisfaction for each user.

Here, for example, perfume and other fragrances are also commonly used to reflect personality effects and personal preferences. Therefore, by incorporating such an fragrance element into the mobile phone, it is possible to contribute to the personality and palatability desired by the user, and to improve user satisfaction and to enclose the purchaser. From such a background, a mobile phone having an aroma diffusion function has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

(Embodiment 1)
In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the device with an opening / closing mechanism according to the present invention is a foldable mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment includes an operation side housing 100 (first housing) having an operation unit and the like as main components, and a display side case having a display unit and the like as main components. A configuration in which the body 200 (second housing) is rotatably engaged by the engagement member 300, and at least a configuration necessary for a communication function (such as a voice call function and a mail transmission / reception function) as a mobile phone Is included inside.

  In this case, the engagement member 300 is a so-called hinge mechanism, and as shown in FIG. 2A, the operation side casing 100 and the display side casing 200 are rotated about the X axis as shown in the drawing. Hold it movable. Thereby, the mobile telephone 1 can be opened and closed according to the use condition. That is, the hinge mechanism configured by the engagement member 300 functions as an opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes the casing of the mobile phone 1.

  In this embodiment, a closed state as shown in FIG. 2B is referred to as a “closed state”, and an open state as shown in FIG. 2C is referred to as an “open state”. In this case, the opening / closing angle as shown in FIG. 2C is the movable range of the casing of the mobile phone 1. In addition, the communication function of the mobile phone 1 described above can be used by opening the casing as shown in FIG. 2C to enable the operation unit. That is, when a voice call or mail transmission / reception, which is a main function of the mobile phone 1, is performed, the housing is opened.

  By applying the present invention to such a foldable mobile phone 1, a function of diffusing a functional gas (for example, aromatic gas) (hereinafter referred to as “diffusion function”) is provided. In the present invention, the configuration related to the diffusion function is configured inside the engagement member 300. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, the structure of the engaging member 300 concerning this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the engaging member 300 shown in FIG.

  First, the configuration of the engaging member 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The engagement member 300 includes a first engagement member 310 configured on the operation side casing 100 side and a second engagement member 320 configured on the display side casing 200 side. . As described above, since the engaging member 300 according to the present embodiment is a hinge mechanism of a foldable mobile phone, the first engaging member 310 functions as a hinge receiver and the second engaging member 320 is a hinge. Function as.

  Here, in the engaging member 300 according to the present embodiment, a slit 330 is formed in the second engaging member 320 as shown in FIG. The slit 330 discharges a functional gas released from a gas diffusion portion (described later in detail) formed inside the engaging member 300 from the inside of the engaging member 300 to the outside (that is, outside the mobile phone 1). It is a slit for doing.

  The gas diffusion part for releasing such functional gas (hereinafter referred to as “gas diffusion part 1000”) is configured inside the engagement member 300 as shown by a broken line in FIG. Yes. As shown in FIG. 3C, the gas diffusion unit 1000 is fixed to the first engagement member 310, and includes a gas generation unit 1100 for generating functional gas and a second engagement member 320. The gas discharge unit 1200 is configured to discharge the functional gas fixed and generated by the gas generation unit 1100 to the outside according to the opening / closing operation of the housing.

  The configuration of such a gas diffusion unit 1000 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. First, the overall configuration of the gas diffusion unit 1000 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the gas diffusion unit 1000.

  As shown to Fig.4 (a), the gas generation part 1100 has the base material container 1110 and the gas container 1120 as the main structures.

  The base material container 1110 is a container that hermetically holds a base material that is a source of the functional gas to be diffused. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a liquid (for example, liquid fragrance, etc., hereinafter referred to as “fragrance liquid”) having a characteristic that a fragrance component diffuses by volatilization is used as a base material. Further, for example, the base material container 1110 can be replaced or replenished by making the bottom part of the base material container 1110 a screw-type lid, or by configuring the base material container 1110 itself as a cartridge type so as to be detachable from the engaging member 300. It shall be possible.

  The gas container 1120 is a container that volatilizes the aromatic liquid retained in the base material container 1110 and retains the volatile substance.

  Here, a more detailed configuration of the gas generation unit 1100 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5A, the base material container 1110 and the gas container 1120 are partitioned by a partition plate 1130 formed of an airtight material such as rubber, for example, and this partition plate 1130 is divided into an attracting volatile member. 1140 penetrates. The attraction volatile member 1140 is formed, for example, by forming a mesh wire or a porous material into a columnar shape, and has a length extending from the base material container 1110 to the gas container 1120.

  As a result, a part of the attracting volatile member 1140 is infiltrated with the aromatic liquid held in the base material container 1110. Since the attraction volatilization member 1140 is formed of a net-like wire or a porous material, the aromatic liquid is attracted to the inside of the attraction volatilization member 1140, and proceeds to the gas container 1120 side by, for example, a capillary phenomenon. Volatilizes internally. Since the attracted liquid has aromaticity, an aromatic gas (hereinafter referred to as “aromatic gas”) is held in the internal space of the gas container 1120.

  Here, the detailed configuration of the gas container 1120 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the gas container 1120 is, for example, a cylindrical container having a space formed therein. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the gas container 1120 has a bottom surface on the base material container 1110 side. For example, a substantially fan-shaped opening 1121 is formed on the opposing bottom surface. Therefore, the aromatic gas generated inside the gas container 1120 is held in the gas container 1120 or released to the outside by opening and closing the opening 1121. As shown in FIG. 5B, the opening 1121 is assumed to have a size that fits into a region obtained by dividing the circular bottom surface of the gas container 1120 into approximately four equal parts.

  Such opening and closing of the opening 1121 is performed by the gas discharge unit 1200. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4A, the gas discharge unit 1200 is configured such that the surface on which the opening 1121 is formed faces the gas generation unit 1100, depending on the opening / closing operation of the mobile phone 1. The gas discharge part 1200 opens and closes the opening part 1121. As shown in FIG. 4A, the gas discharge unit 1200 includes a rotating body 1210, an opening / closing part 1220, and a closing member 1221.

  The shape of the gas discharge part 1200 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the gas discharge part 1200 has an opening / closing part 1220 formed on one end side of a cylindrical rotary body part 1210. As shown in the figure, the opening / closing part 1220 is formed so that two fan-shaped parts protrude toward the gas generating part 1100 side. The fan-shaped surfaces of the two protruding portions are assumed to have a shape substantially similar to the opening 1121 and have an area at least wider than the opening 1121.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4A, since the gas discharge part 1200 is configured so that the opening / closing part 1220 faces the opening part 1121, the part protruding from the rotating body part 1210 is the opening part 1121. If facing each other, the opening 1121 is closed by the opening / closing part 1220.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second engagement member 320 is fixed to the rotary body 1210 of the gas discharge unit 1200, and the base material container 1110 of the gas generation unit 1100 is first engaged. The gas diffusion unit 1000 is configured to be fixed to the member 310. Since the operation side casing 100 in which the first engagement member 310 is configured has an operation unit, when the mobile phone 1 is opened and closed, the user holds the operation side casing 100 in a fixed manner. Thus, the display-side housing 200 side is moved.

  In this case, the opening / closing operation is performed by rotating the second engagement member 320 with respect to the first engagement member 310 configured in the operation-side casing 100 that is fixedly held. Therefore, when the cellular phone 1 is opened and closed, the rotating body 1210 fixed to the second engaging member 320 that rotates is rotated.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, an opening / closing part 1220 having a shape similar to the opening part 1121 is partially formed on the end surface of the rotating body part 1210 that performs such an operation. Thus, the opening 1121 is opened and closed. Here, as shown in FIG.5 (c), the two protrusion parts of the shape match | combined with the opening part 1121 are formed. In each of these protrusions, the surface facing the opening 1121 has flexibility and adhesion, such as rubber, for closing and sealing the opening 1121 when facing the opening 1121. A closing member 1221 made of a material having

  As shown in FIG. 5C, two closing members 1221 are formed on the end surface of the rotating body 1210 so as to be point-symmetrical at the center of the circular bottom surface of the rotating body 1210 (hereinafter, one of them is formed). “Closed member 1221a” and the other as “closed member 1221b”). That is, the opening 1121 is closed by either the closing member 1221a or the closing member 1221b by the rotation of the rotary body 1210 according to the opening / closing of the mobile phone 1.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the fragrance diffusion by the gas diffusion unit 1000 is performed only while the mobile phone 1 is opened and closed. This is because the fragrance from the mobile phone 1 is made more effective based on the human olfactory characteristic that if the same scent continues to be sensed, the person will get used to the scent and become less likely to feel the scent. This is to prevent the diffusion from occurring at all times.

  In order to achieve such fragrance diffusion, when the mobile phone 1 is in the closed state and in the open state, it is only necessary to close the opening 1121 of the gas container 1120 so that the aromatic gas is not released. Therefore, the two closing members 1221 are formed at positions facing the opening 1121 when the mobile phone 1 is in the closed state and in the open state. In this case, the angle between the closing member 1221a and the closing member 1221b is set in accordance with the movable range of the mobile phone 1 as shown in FIG. Portion 1121 can be closed.

  The operation of the gas diffusion unit 1000 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 6 schematically shows the movement of the closing member 1221a and the closing member 1221b and the position of the opening 1121 when the operation from the closed state shown in FIG. 2B to the open state shown in FIG. 2C is performed. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the state of the gas diffusion unit 1000 when the opening 1121 is closed and when the opening 1121 is open.

  In the present embodiment, when the mobile phone 1 is in the closed state, the closing member 1221a is formed so that the closing member 1221a faces the opening 1121 as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 7 (a). The Thereby, when the mobile phone 1 is in the closed state, the opening 1121 is closed.

  From this state, when the display-side housing 200 is moved to perform an opening operation, the second engagement member 320 is rotated in accordance with the movement of the display-side housing 200. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6B, since the opening / closing part 1220 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the closing member 1221a that closed the opening 1121 also rotates together. Thereby, the opening 1121 is opened without being closed.

  At this time, as shown in FIG.7 (b), the aromatic gas currently hold | maintained at the gas container 1120 is discharge | released to the space part between the closing member 1221a and the closing member 1221b. Here, since the gas discharge part 1200 is formed in the second engagement member 320, the slit 330 shown in FIG. 3A is formed at the position of the opening / closing part 1220, thereby releasing the released fragrance. The sex gas is discharged to the outside of the second engagement member 320, that is, the outside of the mobile phone 1 through the slit 330.

  When the display-side casing 200 is further moved to bring the mobile phone 1 into the open state, the opening / closing unit 1220 further rotates. Here, by forming the closing member 1221b so as to face the opening 1121 in the open state, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the mobile phone 1 is in the open state, the closing member 1221b is Since the opening 1121 is closed, the aromatic gas in the gas container 1120 is not released to the gas discharge unit 1200 side. That is, since the aromatic gas is not released to the outside from the slit 330, the aromatic diffusion is not performed when the mobile phone 1 is opened.

  When the cellular phone 1 is changed from the open state to the closed state, the rotation direction of the gas discharge unit 1200 is reversed. Similarly, the fragrance diffusion is performed only during the closing operation.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the first embodiment, the scent diffusion can be performed only during the opening / closing operation in the cellular phone with the folding housing.

(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a foldable mobile phone is illustrated. However, in the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) having a so-called revolver (rotating slide) housing. An example in which the invention is applied and the fragrance is diffused only during the opening / closing operation will be described.

  A mobile phone 2 according to the present embodiment is shown in FIG. Similar to the first embodiment, the mobile phone 2 according to the present embodiment includes an operation-side casing 100 and a display-side casing 200, and is engaged with an engaging member 300 so as to be rotatable. In the first embodiment, the folding cellular phone that is opened and closed by the engaging member 300 that functions as a hinge mechanism is illustrated so that the main surfaces of the operation-side casing 100 and the display-side casing 200 face each other. The mobile phone 2 according to the embodiment opens and closes when the display-side housing 200 rotates in the horizontal direction with respect to the operation-side housing 100 as shown in FIG. That is, the engagement member 300 according to the present embodiment functions as an opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes the casing of the mobile phone 2.

  In this case, the state where the operation side casing 100 and the display side casing 200 overlap each other as shown in FIG. 8A is referred to as a “closed state”, and the operation side casing as shown in FIG. A state in which the body 100 and the display-side housing 200 do not overlap and the respective longitudinal directions (vertical directions) are on the same line is referred to as an “open state”. In this case, the range (opening / closing angle) indicated by the arrow in FIG. Further, when performing a voice call or mail transmission / reception, which are the main functions of the mobile phone 2, the open state as shown in FIG.

  The engaging member 300 that engages the operation-side casing 100 and the display-side casing 200 that performs such an opening / closing operation has a cylindrical shape as a whole, as shown in FIG. The center of the circular portion serving as the bottom surface is located at the center in the horizontal direction of each of the operation side case 100 and the display side case 200, and the operation side case 100 and the display side case 200 are engaged in the cylindrical height direction. Match.

  The configuration of such an engaging member 300 is shown in FIG. FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the engaging member 300 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the engaging member 300 is divided into two parts in the vertical direction, and each is engaged so as to be rotatable. This divided structure corresponds to the operation-side casing 100 and the display-side casing 200. The portion corresponding to the operation-side casing 100 is the first engagement member 310, and the portion corresponding to the display-side casing 200 is the same. The second engagement member 320 is assumed.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9C, the first engagement member 310 is fixed to the operation side casing 100, and the second engagement member 320 is fixed to the display side casing 200. Here, since an operation unit or the like is configured in the operation-side casing 100, when opening and closing the mobile phone 2, the user holds the operation-side casing 100 fixedly and moves the display-side casing 200. It will be. As described above, since the first engagement member 310 and the second engagement member 320 are rotatably engaged, when the display-side housing 200 is moved as shown in FIG. Since the second engagement member 320 rotates with respect to the first engagement member 310, the display-side housing 200 rotates to perform an opening / closing operation.

  In the present embodiment, the gas diffusion unit 1000 shown in the first embodiment is configured inside the engaging member 300 having such a configuration, so that the fragrance diffusion in the mobile phone 2 is realized. That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, the base container 1110 is configured to be fixed to the bottom surface of the first engaging member 310, and the gas container 1120 partitioned from the base container 1110 by the partition plate 1130. Is formed in the upper part of the base material container 1110. The partition plate 1130 is configured with an attraction volatilization member 1140 that attracts the aromatic liquid held by the base material container 1110 and volatilizes the gas within the gas container 1120. An opening 1121 is formed on the upper surface of the gas container 1120. The opening 1121 in the present embodiment is, for example, a circular opening similar to the circular bottom of the gas container 1120 as shown in FIG.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10B, the upper surface portion (opening portion 1121) of the gas container 1120 is close to the upper surface of the second engagement member 320 (hereinafter referred to as “engagement portion upper surface 321”). It is assumed that the gas diffusion unit 1000 is configured as described above.

  The gas diffusion portion 1000 having such a configuration is arranged on the bottom surface of the first engagement member 310 at a position offset from the center of the bottom surface. That is, when viewed from the upper side of the engagement portion upper surface 321, the gas diffusion portion 1000 is disposed at a position as shown in FIG. Here, since the upper surface of the gas container 1120 is opened by the opening 1121, the aromatic gas held in the gas container 1120 can be transferred from the opening 1121 to the gas container 1120 when the opening 1121 is not closed. It will be emitted upward.

  In this case, in order to release the released aromatic gas to the outside of the mobile phone 2, it is necessary to provide an opening on the upper surface 321 of the engaging portion. In the present embodiment, an opening 1222 as shown in FIG. 10D forms the engaging portion upper surface 321. Similar to the first embodiment, the mobile phone 2 also performs fragrance diffusion only during the opening / closing operation. The opening 1222 shown in FIG. 10D has a shape for releasing aromatic gas to the outside only during the opening / closing operation by the rotation of the engaging portion upper surface 321 according to the opening / closing operation of the mobile phone 2.

  The configuration of the engaging portion upper surface 321 will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.11 (a) is the top view which looked at the engaging part upper surface 321 from the upper side. As shown in the drawing, the opening 1222 formed in the engaging portion upper surface 321 has a shape that becomes a part of a belt-like circle formed by two concentric circles having a smaller diameter than the circular engaging portion upper surface 321. That is, the opening has a shape in which the circumferential direction of the engaging portion upper surface 321 is the longitudinal direction.

  A closing member 1221 having a shape corresponding to a portion other than the belt-shaped circular opening 1222 defining the opening 1222 is formed on the back surface side of the engaging portion upper surface 321. FIG. 11B shows a view of the engaging portion upper surface 321 as viewed from the rear surface side (that is, from the inside of the second engaging member 320). As shown in the figure, the closing member 1221 is a band-shaped member formed of a material such as rubber having flexibility and adhesion, for example.

  The operation of the engaging portion upper surface 321 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 schematically shows the movement of the engaging portion upper surface 321 and the position of the opening 1121 when the cellular phone 2 is changed from the closed state shown in FIG. 8A to the open state shown in FIG. 8C. It is a figure.

  Here, the closing member 1221 on the upper surface 321 of the engaging portion is formed so as to be positioned above the opening 1121 as shown in FIG. 12A when the mobile phone 2 is in the closed state. When the display-side casing 200 of the mobile phone 2 is moved from this state and rotated as shown in FIG. 8B, the second engaging member 320 fixed to the display-side casing 200 rotates. As a result, the opening 1222 formed on the upper surface 321 of the engaging portion also rotates and is positioned above the opening 1121 as shown in FIG.

  That is, the closing member 1221 closed the opening 1121 in the closed state, but the opening / closing operation is performed to move the position of the closing member 1221, and instead the opening 1222 is positioned above the opening 1121. As a result, the aromatic gas in the gas container 1120 is released to the outside of the engaging portion upper surface 321 (that is, outside the mobile phone 2) through the opening 1121 and the opening 1222.

  Here, since the opening 1222 has a shape in which the circumferential direction of the engaging portion upper surface 321 is the longitudinal direction, the opening 1121 continues to be opened while the display-side housing 200 is rotated. In the example of FIG. 12, fragrance diffusion is performed while the mobile phone 2 is being opened.

  Then, when the display-side casing 200 is further rotated so as to be in the open state shown in FIG. 8C, as shown in FIG. 12C, the belt-shaped circular closing member 1221 is again formed above the opening 1121. Therefore, the opening 1121 is closed by the closing member 1221. That is, by forming the closing member 1221 so as to close the opening 1121 when the mobile phone 2 is in the closed state and the open state, the aromatic gas is not released to the outside in the closed state and the open state.

  Further, when the cellular phone 2 is changed from the open state to the closed state, the display-side casing 200 is rotated in the reverse direction. Similarly, the fragrance diffusion is performed only during the closing operation. It will be.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the second embodiment, it is possible to perform fragrance diffusion only during the opening / closing operation in the mobile phone having a revolver type (rotating slide type) housing.

(Embodiment 3)
In the second embodiment, an example in which a fragrance is diffused by releasing the aromatic gas generated by volatilization to the outside in a mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) having a revolver type (rotating slide type) housing is shown. In such an open / close cellular phone 2, fragrance diffusion can be performed by spraying (spraying) the fragrance liquid. In the present embodiment, in the mobile phone 2 shown in the second embodiment, a case where an aromatic gas is diffused by jetting a fragrant liquid is exemplified below.

  Note that, in the mobile phone 2 according to the present embodiment, the operation side housing 100 and the display side housing 200 as shown in FIG. The basic configuration of the engaging member 300 is the same as that of the engaging member 300 shown in the second embodiment.

  That is, the engaging member 300 according to the present embodiment is also composed of the first engaging member 310 and the second engaging member 320, and the gas diffusion portion 1000 is disposed therein. Here, since the fragrance diffusion method is different between the present embodiment and the second embodiment, the configuration of the gas diffusion unit 1000 is different from that of the second embodiment. The structure of the gas diffusion part 1000 concerning this embodiment and the engaging member 300 in which the gas diffusion part 1000 is comprised is demonstrated with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 13A is a cross-sectional view showing configurations of the engaging member 300 and the gas diffusion unit 1000 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the drawing, the base material container 1110 is fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the first engaging member 310. In this embodiment, unlike the second embodiment, the liquid (aromatic liquid) held by the base material container 1110 is retained. ) May not be volatile.

  An upper portion of the base material container 1110 is configured with an injection unit 1150 that injects the aromatic liquid of the base material container 1110 when pressed. The spray unit 1150 has, for example, a structure similar to a sprayer that sprays liquid in a mist form (mist form), and sucks and sprays the aromatic liquid in the base material container 1110 with a negative pressure. As shown in FIG. 13A, the injection unit 1150 has a nozzle 1151, and mist-like aromatic liquid (= aromatic gas) is sprayed (injected) from the nozzle 1151.

  In the engaging member 300 having the gas diffusion part 1000 having such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the injection from the nozzle 1151 is released to the outside of the engaging member 300. Thus, the opening 1222a is formed in the second engagement member 320. As shown in FIG. 13B, the opening 1222a is a rectangular opening with the circumferential direction of the second engagement member 320 as the longitudinal direction on the side surface of the second engagement member 320. The nozzle 1151 is formed at the center of the opening 1222a.

  And the position where the gas diffusion part 1000 is arrange | positioned in the engaging member 300 becomes a position offset from the center of the circular bottom face of the engaging member 300. That is, the gas diffusion part 1000 is disposed at a position as shown in FIG. 13C when the engagement member 300 is viewed from the upper side of the engagement part upper surface 321.

  Also in this embodiment, fragrance diffusion is performed only while the mobile phone 2 is being opened and closed. Here, since the spray unit 1150 sprays when the upper part is pressed downward, the spray unit 1150 needs to be configured to press the spray unit 1150 only during the opening / closing operation of the mobile phone 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13D, a pressing member 1223 that presses the injection unit 1150 is configured on the back surface side of the engaging unit upper surface 321. The shape of the pressing member 1223 is the same as the opening 1222 illustrated in the second embodiment. Moreover, the pressing member 1223 is formed at a position parallel to the opening 1222a in the longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 14A shows the pressing member 1223 viewed from the back surface side of the engaging portion upper surface 321 (that is, from the inside of the second engaging member 320). As shown in the drawing, the pressing member 1223 has a shape protruding from the back surface of the engaging portion upper surface 321, and has a mountain shape in the longitudinal direction. That is, the height is the lowest at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the height is the highest at the center in the longitudinal direction.

  In addition, in the display-side housing 200 to which the second engagement member 320 in which the opening 1222a is formed is fixed, as shown in FIG. 14B, the side of the display-side housing 200 extends from the opening 1222a to the display side. An opening 1222b that is electrically connected to the outside of the housing 200 is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14C, the opening 1222b is operated when the display-side casing 200 of the mobile phone 2 is positioned in the middle of the movable range (for example, when rotated by 90 °). It is formed at a position where the opening 1222b appears on the side housing 100 side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, the pressing member 1223 is formed at a position where the ejecting portion 1150 is not pressed when the mobile phone 2 is in the closed state as shown in FIG. 8A. From this state, when the display-side casing 200 of the mobile phone 2 is rotated so as to be in the open state as shown in FIG. 8C, the second engaging member 320 fixed to the display-side casing 200 is obtained. Is rotated with respect to the first engaging member 310, the pressing member 1223 formed so as to protrude on the back surface side of the engaging portion upper surface 321 also rotates, and as shown in FIG. It will be located at the top of the.

  Since the pressing member 1223 has a mountain shape as shown in FIG. 14A, the top of the pressing member presses the injection unit 1150 by the rotation of the upper surface 321 of the engaging unit. At this time, the ejection unit 1150 sucks the aromatic liquid in the base material container 1110 and ejects it from the nozzle 1151. Since an opening 1222a and an opening 1222b are formed in front of the nozzle 1151, as shown in FIG. 16, in the middle of the movable range of the casing of the mobile phone 2, a mist-like aromatic liquid (aromatic gas) ) Is released toward the operation unit of the operation-side casing 100.

  As described above, a non-volatile liquid can be adopted as the base material. However, if a volatile liquid is used, it is dried immediately after spraying, so that the inside and outside of the mobile phone can be prevented from getting wet. it can.

  Then, when the display-side housing 200 is further rotated from the state shown in FIG. 16 to the open state, the pressing member 1223 has a mountain shape, so that the pressing member 1223 does not press the injection unit 1150. And as shown in FIG.15 (c), when it will be in an open state, since the injection part 1150 is not pressed, discharge | release of aromatic gas will not be performed.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in Embodiment 3 described above, in a mobile phone with a revolver type (rotating slide type) housing, it is possible to perform fragrance diffusion only during the opening / closing operation.

(Embodiment 4)
In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the present invention is applied to a mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) having a so-called slide-type housing, and aroma is diffused only during an opening / closing operation.

  A mobile phone 3 according to the present embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the cellular phone 3 according to the present embodiment includes an operation-side casing 100 and a display-side casing 200 similar to those of the above-described embodiments, and each is slidably engaged in the longitudinal direction thereof. Yes. That is, by sliding the display-side housing 200 in the parallel direction with respect to the operation-side housing 100, the closed state as shown in FIG. 17A is changed to the open state as shown in FIG. can do. That is, the mobile phone 3 according to the present embodiment has an opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes by a sliding operation between the casings. In this case, a range in which the display-side casing 200 can slide is a movable range in the casing of the mobile phone 3. Further, when performing a voice call or mail transmission / reception, which are the main functions of the mobile phone 3, an open state as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, an example in which fragrance is diffused by releasing the aromatic gas generated by volatilization to the outside as exemplified in the first and second embodiments will be described. FIG. 18A shows the configuration on the operation side casing 100 in this case, and FIG. 18B shows the configuration on the display side casing 200 side. FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B separately show the operation-side casing 100 and the display-side casing 200 that constitute the mobile phone 3.

  Here, the gas diffusion part 1000 illustrated in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 is used for fragrance diffusion according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18A, the gas diffusion unit 1000 is configured on the operation side casing 100 side. In this case, as shown in the figure, the gas diffusion unit 1000 is configured inside the operation side casing 100 in the vicinity of the upper end of the operation side casing 100 so as to be parallel to the lateral direction of the operation side casing 100.

  As in the first or second embodiment, the gas diffusion unit 1000 includes a base material container 1110, a gas container 1120, an attraction volatile member 1140, and the like. The gas container 1120 also has an opening 1121 as in the above embodiment, but is formed so as to open on the main surface of the operation-side casing 100 as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, on the display-side housing 200 side, as shown in FIG. 18B, a closing member 1221a, a closing member 1221b, and an opening 1222 are formed. These are gas containers disposed in the operation-side housing 100 when the display-side housing 200 and the operation-side housing 100 are engaged and the display-side housing 200 slides relative to the operation-side housing 100. It is formed at a position passing through the upper part of the opening 1121 of 1120. The closing member 1221a and the closing member 1221b are formed of a material such as rubber having flexibility and adhesion, for example.

  FIGS. 18C to 18E show side views when the operation side housing 100 and the display side housing 200 having such a configuration are slidably engaged. FIG. 18C shows the mobile phone 3 in the closed state shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the closed member 1221a is formed in the display-side housing 200 so as to be positioned at the top of the gas container 1120, that is, the opening 1121 when closed. Accordingly, in the closed state, since the opening 1121 is closed by the closing member 1221a, the aromatic gas generated in the gas container 1120 is not released to the outside.

  Then, when the display-side casing 200 is slid to bring the mobile phone 3 into the open state, the opening 1222 formed in the display-side casing 200 is formed in the gas container 1120 as shown in FIG. Located at the top. As shown in FIGS. 18 (c) to 18 (e), the opening 1222 forms a space. When such an opening 1222 is above the gas container 1120, the gas container The space between the opening 1121 and the opening 1222 of 1120 allows the inside of the gas container 1120 to communicate with the outside of the mobile phone 3. For this reason, the aromatic gas in the gas container 1120 is discharged from the opening 1121 to the outside of the mobile phone 3 through the opening 1222. Thereby, fragrance diffusion is performed from the mobile phone 3.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18B, the opening 1222 has a shape in which the longitudinal direction of the display-side housing 200 is the longitudinal direction, so that the gas is generated while the display-side housing 200 is slid. The container 1120 is in communication with the outside.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18E, when the display-side housing 200 is opened by sliding, the closing member 1221b is formed so as to be positioned above the gas container 1120. While the telephone 3 is in the open state, the opening 1121 is closed by the closing member 1221b.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the fourth embodiment, the scent diffusion can be performed only during the opening / closing operation in the mobile phone having the sliding housing.

(Embodiment 5)
In the fourth embodiment, an example in which the aromatic gas generated by volatilization is released to the outside in the mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) having a sliding housing is shown. In the mobile phone 3, as in the third embodiment, it is possible to perform fragrance diffusion by spraying (spraying) fragrance liquid. In the present embodiment, the case where the aromatic gas is diffused by jetting the aromatic liquid in the mobile phone 3 shown in the fourth embodiment is exemplified below.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 19A, the gas diffusion unit 1000 including the base material container 1110 and the injection unit 1150 is configured in the vicinity of the upper portion of the operation-side casing 100. In this case, the ejection unit 1150 is disposed so as to eject from the upper part of the operation-side casing 100 to the outside.

  Then, a pressing member 1223 for pressing the ejection unit 1150 arranged in this way by a sliding operation of the display-side casing 200 is formed on the display-side casing 200 as shown in FIG. . The pressing member 1223 is formed so as to protrude toward the operation side case 100 on the engagement surface of the display side case 200 with the operation side case 100, and the sliding direction of the display side case 200 is long. When the display-side housing 200 is engaged with the operation-side housing 100, the shape is formed in a mountain shape toward the ejection unit 1150.

  That is, when the pressing member 1223 is moved by the sliding of the display-side housing 200, the top portion in the mountain shape is formed so as to press the injection unit 1150. Therefore, a guide 1224 through which the pressing member 1223 passes is formed in the operation side housing 100 so that the pressing member 1223 can move.

  In the cellular phone 3 having such a configuration, a state when the display-side casing 200 is slid will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 (c) to 19 (e). In FIG. 19C to FIG. 19E, the display-side housing 200 is not shown and only the pressing member 1223 is clearly shown for easy understanding.

  Here, when the cellular phone 3 is in the closed state shown in FIG. 17A, the pressing member 1223 is formed to be in the position shown in FIG. In this case, since the top of the pressing member 1223 is not in contact with the injection unit 1150, the injection unit 1150 is not pressed when the mobile phone 3 is in the closed state. That is, the injection of the aromatic liquid by the injection unit 1150 is not performed.

  When the display-side housing 200 is slid to change from the closed state to the open state shown in FIG. 17B, the pressing member 1223 moves in parallel as shown in FIG. The top of the pressing member 1223 formed in the shape presses the injection unit 1150. Thereby, the injecting unit 1150 injects (sprays) a mist-like aromatic liquid (= aromatic gas) to the outside of the mobile phone 3. This is shown in FIG. FIG. 20 is a view of the state in which the mobile phone 3 is slid from the closed state, as viewed from the back.

  When the display-side housing 200 is further slid to be in the open state, as shown in FIG. 19E, the top of the pressing member 1223 is not at the position where it presses the injection unit 1150. When in the open state, the injection by the injection unit 1150 is not performed.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the fifth embodiment, the scent diffusion can be performed only during the opening / closing operation in the mobile phone having the sliding housing.

  By applying the present invention as described in the above embodiments, a functional gas such as an aromatic gas can be diffused only during an opening / closing operation in a mobile phone having a structure in which a plurality of cases are opened and closed. .

  In this case, since the gas container that holds the functional gas and the opening / closing portion that opens and closes the gas container are used, the structure for diffusing the functional gas can be made small and simple.

  In addition, when a volatile base material is used, a functional gas is generated by attracting and volatilizing the base material, so that the functional gas can be gradually released and the storage stability of the base material is improved. Can do.

  Here, when opening and closing by rotating the casing, such as a folding type or a revolver type (rotating slide type), the configuration for gas diffusion is a mechanism in which the casings are rotatably engaged with each other. Since it can be configured inside the joint member, it is possible to realize a mobile phone having an added value such as a fragrance diffusion function without hindering downsizing and design of the mobile phone.

  In addition, when a functional gas is diffused by volatilization in a mobile phone having a structure in which the casings rotate, the openings for releasing the functional gas are provided at both ends of the movable range of the casing (that is, a closed state and an open state). ) Can be performed by rotating the casing and can be diffused only during the opening / closing operation.

  Furthermore, in the case of a revolver type (rotating slide type) mobile phone in which the casing rotates in the horizontal direction, by using an injection mechanism that injects liquid by being pressed, by pressing the injection mechanism by a rotation operation, Functional gases such as aromatic gases can be diffused. Also in this case, since the functional gas can be diffused only during the opening / closing operation, it is possible to improve the storage stability of the base material and to prevent the invasion of dust into the gas diffusion portion. . In addition, since a necessary configuration can be configured inside the engaging member, a mobile phone having an added value such as an aroma diffusion function can be realized without hindering downsizing and design of the mobile phone. be able to.

  Moreover, when it is set as the structure which injects a liquid, the base material which does not have volatility can also be employ | adopted, and functional gas can be diffused using various base materials. In addition, the direction to inject is arbitrary and is not restricted to the injection direction illustrated in the said Embodiment 3 or Embodiment 5. FIG. Moreover, about an injection mechanism, you may use aerosol type spray etc., for example.

  Further, even in the case of a slide-type mobile phone in which a plurality of housings slide in parallel directions, diffusion can be performed only during an opening / closing operation with a simple configuration. In this case, a method of generating a functional gas from a volatile substrate and a method of ejecting a liquid can be employed.

  That is, according to the present invention, the functional gas can be diffused only during the opening / closing operation required when using the main function in any open / close type mobile phone. Is never done. Thereby, it can prevent that base materials, such as a fragrance | flavor, are consumed wastefully and a foreign material mixes in an inside. In addition, when fragrance gas is diffused, fragrance diffusion is performed only at the time of opening and closing, so that a fragrance effect considering human olfactory characteristics can be realized.

  The said embodiment is an example and the application range of this invention is not restricted to this. That is, various applications are possible, and all embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where an aromatic gas is released as a functional gas is exemplified, but the gas is not limited to an aromatic gas, for example, a gas having functionality such as sterilization, deodorization, humidification, and negative ions. May be released. In this case, various functional gases can be diffused by selecting a base material suitable for the purpose.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where a functional gas was generated by volatilizing a volatile liquid was illustrated, for example, by using a sublimable substance (for example, solid fragrance | flavor etc.) as a base material, The functional gas generated by sublimation may be released. That is, the substance that can be used as the substrate is not limited to a liquid, and various forms of substrates including solids may be employed.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the structure which diffuses functional gas only was demonstrated while the housing | casing is opening and closing operation, if diffusion is made temporarily in the movable range of a housing | casing, it will diffuse. Timing is arbitrary. For example, in the case of a configuration in which liquid is ejected, the liquid may be ejected when the housing is in a closed state or an open state.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the structure which prevents functional gas from diffusing when a housing | casing is a closed state and an open state was illustrated, the revolver type (rotating slide) which was illustrated in Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3 was illustrated. If the display-side casing is used even when it is rotated by 90 °, the functional gas may be configured not to be released in that state.

  Any electronic device other than a mobile phone (for example, a notebook personal computer) may be used as long as it moves in the same manner as a foldable, revolver type (rotating slide type), or slide type casing as shown in the above embodiment. Even if the present invention is applied to a computer or the like, the same effect can be obtained. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to any device (for example, a compact for makeup, a three-way mirror, a door, a door, etc.) as long as it has a similar opening / closing mechanism, and is effective in various devices. Can be realized.
