Description

The present invention relates to a closing structure及beauty camera lid.

Conventional cameras are provided with a card slot for inserting various cards and an opening for inserting a battery. A lid is attached to the opening to prevent dust and damage. As a lid opening / closing mechanism, there is a rotary type, but many of them adopt a slide type for reasons such as easy opening and closing. In recent years, a drip-proof structure has been desired in an opening of a camera or the like. In a rotary lid opening / closing structure, a drip-proof structure is provided by sticking an elastic body such as a sponge to a main body portion that comes into contact with a lid when the lid is closed. Performance is ensured (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  The opening 11 is a portion recessed from the outer surface of the camera body 2 for taking in and out components such as a memory card (not shown) or a battery with respect to the camera body 2. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 12 denotes a card insertion groove 12 formed in the camera body 2 so as to face the opening 11, and a card such as a memory card is inserted into or removed from the card insertion groove 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5 and 6, the opening 11 includes a first opening 11a on the X minus side and a second opening 11b on the X minus side. The first opening 11a and the second opening 11b have different widths in the Y direction, and the width of the second opening 11b is narrower than the width of the first opening 11a.

  The 1st opening part 11a has the front side wall surface 15 orthogonal to the sliding direction (X direction) of the cover body 3 in the front-end | tip (X minus direction side edge part). The first opening 11a has a rear side wall surface 16 orthogonal to the sliding direction (X direction) of the lid 3 at the rear end (X positive direction side end). The rear side wall surface 16 is divided into right and left (both sides in the Y direction), and the rear (X minus direction) side from the divided portion is the second opening 11b.

  On the inner side surfaces of both sides in the Y direction of the first opening portion 11a, slopes 13, 14 are formed so as to be gradually increased along the sliding direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the inclined surface 13 is inclined in a direction in which the inclination θ is positive when projected onto the XZ plane. The inclined surfaces 13 and 14 are inclined in a direction in which the inclination θ becomes positive when projected onto the XZ plane. The slopes 13 and 14 are parallel to each other.

  The bottom surface 18 of the second opening 11b is gradually higher along the sliding direction of the lid 3. As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface 18 is discontinuous with the slopes 13 and 14 on the opening 11 side. Similarly to the slopes 13 and 14, the slope γ is inclined in a positive direction when projected onto the XZ plane.

  The slopes 13 and 14 of the first opening 11a and both sides 18a and 18b of the second opening 11b are discontinuous between the X minus direction end and the X plus direction end, and from the X minus side. It extends in the Z plus direction toward the X plus side, once lowered to the Z minus side, and extends in the Z plus direction from the X minus side toward the X plus side.

  Band-shaped elastic bodies 21, 22, 23, and 24 are attached to the front side wall surface 15, the rear side wall surface 16, the slopes 13 and 14, and the opposite sides 18a and 18b of the bottom surface 18 by adhesion, welding, or the like, respectively. As these elastic bodies, foamed resins such as urethane foam, elastic rubber, and the like can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 3 has a shape in which a main body 31 covering the first opening 11a and a hinge 32 covering the second opening 11b are integrally formed. A long hole 32 b extending in the sliding direction of the lid 3 is formed in the surface side wall 32 a of the hinge portion 32. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the support pin 19 inserted in the long hole 32b protrudes in the 2nd opening part 11b. By inserting the support pin 19 into the elongated hole 32b, the lid 3 can be slid in the X-axis direction and can be rotated about the support pin 19 as an axis.

  Returning to FIG. 4, slopes 33 and 34 corresponding to the slopes 13 and 14 of the opening 11 are formed on both side surfaces (both sides in the Y direction) of the main body 31 of the lid 3. The slopes 33 and 34 are gradually higher along the sliding direction (X-axis plus direction) of the lid 3, similarly to the slopes 13 and 14 of the opening 11. Therefore, the slopes 33 and 34 are inclined in the same θ as the slopes 13 and 14, that is, in a positive direction when projected onto the XZ plane (in a sliding state rather than standing). . The inclined surfaces 33 and 34 are also parallel to each other along the sliding direction of the lid 3. The elastic body 23 is sandwiched and pressed by the inclined surfaces 33 and 34 and the inclined surfaces 13 and 14 of the opening 11 as will be described later.

  Slopes 36 and 37 are formed on portions of the lid 3 corresponding to both sides 18a and 18b of the bottom surface 18 of the second opening 11b. The slopes 36 and 37 are also slopes that gradually increase along the sliding direction of the lid 3, and the inclination when projected onto the XZ plane (in a sliding state rather than a standing state) is the bottom surface 18. Are inclined in the same γ, that is, positive direction, and are parallel to each other.

  The slopes 33 and 34 of the lid and the slopes 36 and 37 are discontinuous between the X minus direction end and the X plus direction end, and in the Z plus direction from the X minus side toward the X plus side. It extends once, goes down to the Z minus side, and extends in the Z plus direction from the X minus side toward the X plus side.

  In order to lock the lid 3 to the camera body 2, a hook 61 is provided on the back side of the lid 3, and a receiving hook 62 in which the hook 61 is detachably engaged inside the opening 11 of the camera body 2. Is provided.

  Next, the operation of the lid opening / closing structure 1 of the present embodiment will be described. When the lid 3 is closed, the lid 3 is first tilted from the state where the lid 3 in FIG. Then, the lid 3 is slid in the X minus direction. At this time, the elastic bodies 21, 22, 23, 24 can approach the slopes 33, 34, 36, 37 of the lid 3 without rubbing. Then, after the elastic bodies 21, 22, 23, 24 and the inclined surfaces 33, 34, 36, 37 of the lid 3 are in contact, the front side wall surface 15 of the above-described elastic bodies 21, 22, 23, 24, The elastic bodies 21 and 22 attached to the side wall surface 16 are sandwiched and pressed between the lid 3 and the camera body 2. Thereby, the drip-proof of the direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the cover body 3 is securable.

  Further, the elastic body 23 attached to the slopes 13 and 14 of the first opening 11 a is sandwiched and pressed between the slopes 13 and 14 of the opening 11 and the slopes 33 and 34 of the lid 3. The elastic body 24 attached to both sides 18a and 18b of the second opening 11b is sandwiched between both sides 18a and 18b of the bottom surface 18 of the second opening 11b and the slopes 36 and 37 of the lid 3. Pressed. Thereby, the drip-proof with respect to the sliding direction of the cover body 3 is securable.

  On the other hand, the hook 61 on the back side of the lid 3 is engaged with the receiving hook 62 of the opening 11 of the camera body 2, and the lid 3 is locked to the camera body 2.

  When opening the lid 3, first, the lid 3 is slid in the X minus direction. At this time, the elastic bodies 21, 22, 23, and 24 are separated from the inclined surfaces 33 and 34 of the lid 3 without rubbing. Further, the hook 61 on the back side of the lid 3 is released from the receiving hook 62 of the opening 11 of the camera body 2. And after the support pin 19 moves to the edge part of the long hole 32b, the cover body 3 is stood up and the opening part 11 is open | released.
