The hinge case 3 can be rotated around an axis extending in the left-right direction at the longitudinal end portion of the first housing 1 with respect to the first housing 1 by the first rotating shaft 11 of the biaxial hinge unit 10. Is provided. The second housing 2 is rotated around the axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the second housing 2 on the right side of the hinge case 3 with respect to the hinge case 3 by the second rotating shaft 12 of the biaxial hinge unit 10. It is provided as possible.

The sound emission structure of the housing will be described.
20 and 21 are perspective views showing the lower surface side in a state in which the cellular phone is closed. FIG. 22 is a perspective view showing the lower surface 1 d of the first housing 1. FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first housing 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, a pair of left and right projecting portions 1 b that are divided into two forks are provided at one longitudinal end of the first housing 1. The protruding direction of these protruding portions 1b is a direction parallel to the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 and extends from one longitudinal end of the first housing 1 in the longitudinal direction of the first housing 1. . The tips of these protrusions 1b are provided in a rounded state.

  These projecting portions 1b are arranged with a space left and right, and a recess 1a as a space is formed between these projecting portions 1b. The recess 1a is defined by one end face 1f in the longitudinal direction of the first housing 1 and a pair of protrusions 1b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the convex part 2a is formed in the edge part by the side of the hinge case 3 which is the surface in which the display part 5 of the 2nd housing | casing 2 was provided. A recess 1h is formed in the upper surface 1g of the first housing 1 and on the edge portion on the recess 1a side. When the mobile phone is closed, the convex portion 2a is inserted into the recess 1h.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, a rectangular recess 1 c is formed on the lower surface 1 d of the first housing 1. The upper surface 1g of the first housing 1 is a surface on which the operation unit 4 is provided, and the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 is an opposite surface to the surface on which the operation unit 4 is provided.

  A sound emitting hole 1e is formed in the recess 1c. Specifically, the sound emission hole 1 e is formed at the bottom of the recess 1 c and penetrates to the inside of the first housing 1. A speaker 61 is attached to a position inside the first housing 1 and facing the sound emitting hole 1e.

The recess 1 c extends to the edge on the recess 1 a side of the lower surface 1 d of the first housing 1. Therefore, when the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 comes into contact with the placement location, a sound guide portion 1j that is not in close contact with the placement location is formed at the edge portion of the recess 1c on the recess 1a side. The concave portion 1c and the concave portion 1a communicate with each other through the sound guide portion 1j, and there is no separation between the concave portion 1c and the concave portion 1a.
On the other hand, the left and right sides of the recess 1c and the opposite side of the recess 1a are not extended to the edge of the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1, and the left and right sides of the recess 1c and the opposite side of the recess 1a are the first. One casing 1 is surrounded by a lower surface 1d. Therefore, there is a step between the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 and the bottom of the recess 1c on the left and right edges of the recess 1c and the opposite edge of the recess 1a.

  The lower case 34 disposed in the recess 1a is in contact with the left and right wall surfaces of the recess 1a, that is, the protrusions 1b on the left and right sides of the recess 1a. On the other hand, the lower case 34 is separated from the one end surface 1 f in the longitudinal direction of the first housing 1. Therefore, a first gap is formed between the end surface 1 f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34, and the first gap extends from the lower surface 1 d of the first housing 1 to the upper surface 1 g.

  When the cellular phone is closed, the protruding portion 34a of the lower case 34 and the protruding portion 1b of the first housing 1 face each other in the vertical direction, and a second gap is formed between the protruding portions 1b and 34a. When the cellular phone is closed, the lower portion of the lower case 34 protrudes slightly below the lower surface of the protruding portion 1b, and the lower surface 34b of the lower case 34 (the surface on which the photographing unit 7 and the illumination unit 8 are provided). A step is formed between the opposite surface of the projection 1b and the lower surface of the protrusion 1b.

  FIG. 24 shows how the sound output from the speaker 61 propagates with arrows. When the mobile phone is closed and the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 is directed to the placement location and the first housing 1 is placed at the placement location, the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 is placed at the placement location. Abut.

  If it does so, the lower surface 1d of the 1st housing | casing 1 will contact a mounting location, and the lower surface 1d of the 1st housing | casing 1 will become a mounting surface. The sound output from the speaker 61 is emitted to the recess 1c through the sound emission hole 1e, but the sound is not trapped in the recess 1c. This is because the concave portion 1c extends to the edge on the concave portion 1a side of the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1, and the concave portion 1c and the concave portion 1a are connected by the sound guide portion 1j. Therefore, the sound emitted from the sound emitting hole 1e into the recess 1c is guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guiding portion 1j. When the cellular phone is closed, the first gap between the end surface 1 f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 is partially blocked by the convex portion 2 a formed on the second housing 2. It is not completely blocked.

  Since the tip of the protrusion 1b is rounded, a third gap is formed between the protrusion 1b and the placement location. Therefore, the sound guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guide portion 1j passes through the third gap between the protruding portion 1b and the placement place. Propagate through as shown by arrow C. Therefore, sound is guided out of the third gap.

  Further, the sound guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guiding portion 1j is between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34. It is guided to the upper surface 1g side of the first housing 1 through the first gap. The sound guided to the upper surface 1g side of the first housing 1 passes through the second gap between the protruding portion 34a of the lower case 34 and the upper surface 1g of the first housing 1 as indicated by arrows D and E. To be guided out of the second gap.

  When the second casing 2 is rotated laterally with respect to the hinge case 3 around the second rotation shaft 12 to make the mobile phone into a book style, the convex portion 2a is detached from the depression 1h. FIG. 25 shows the state of sound propagation in the book style with arrows. The sound emitted from the speaker 61 to the recess 1c is guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guide portion 1j. The sound guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guide portion 1j is, as indicated by the arrow F, the sound between the protruding portion 1b and the placement location. 3 is led out of the third gap. Further, the sound guided to the first gap between the end surface 1f of the first housing 1 and the lower case 34 by the sound guide portion 1j is the same as that of the lower case 34 and the first case as indicated by arrows G, H, and J. It is guided to the upper surface 1 g side of the first housing 1 through the first gap between the end surface 1 f of the housing 1. In particular, since the recess 1h is formed in the edge portion of the recess 1a, the sound spreads like arrows G, H, and J. Therefore, for the user who faces the display unit 5 and looks at the display unit 5, a sound can be heard from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the second casing 2 and the hinge case 3 are rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the first casing 1 around the first rotating shaft 12, so that the mobile phone is set in a normal open style. At this time, the upper case 35 of the hinge case 3 turns from the upper side of the protruding portion 1 b to the lower side of the protruding portion 1 b, and the upper case 35 of the hinge case 3 protrudes downward from the lower surface 1 d of the first housing 1. Therefore, when the first housing 1 is placed on the placement location K with the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 facing the placement location K, the upper case 35 hits the placement location K, and the first housing 1 The lower surface 1d is in a state of floating from the placement location K, and a gap is formed between the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1 and the placement location K. When sound is output from the speaker 61 in this state, the sound propagates to the left and right sides of the first housing 1.

  As described above, according to the mobile phone of the embodiment, the first casing 1 having the operation unit 4 and the second casing 2 having the display unit 5 are moved relative to each other from the folded state and opened in the vertical direction. The first case 1 and the second case 2 have a housing structure in which the first rotary shaft 11 to be opened and the second rotary shaft 12 to be opened in the horizontal direction are housed in the hinge case 3 together with the photographing unit 7. The hinge case 3 moves with the second housing 1 when opened in the vertical direction, and the hinge case 3 moves with the first housing 1 when opened in the horizontal direction. Thus, it is possible to shoot a movie with the shooting unit 7 while viewing the screen of the display unit 5 in landscape orientation in the movie style.

  Further, in the movie style, the second casing 2 having the display unit 5 is rotated around the second rotation shaft 12 in the central portion with respect to the hinge case 3 having the shooting unit 7 as a finder at the time of movie shooting. The display unit 5 may be a high angle with an oblique angle looking up from below, or may be a low angle with an oblique angle looking down from the top.

  In the biaxial hinge unit 10, the first rotating shaft 11 and the second rotating shaft 12 are assembled to the frame 13 of the hinge case 3, and the first mounting member 21 integrated with the first rotating shaft 11 is the first housing 1. Since the second mounting member 22 integrated with the second rotating shaft 12 is assembled to the second housing 2, the strength is excellent.

  Then, the first wiring 31 having one end fixed in the first housing 1 and the other end fixed in the hinge case 3 is passed through the hollow portion of the first rotating shaft 11, and the one end in the first housing 1. Is passed through the hollow portion of the first rotating shaft 11 and the second wire 32 having the other end fixed in the second housing 2 and passed through the hollow portion of the second rotating shaft 12. Wiring can be done.

  Further, since the recess 1c extends to the edge portion of the lower surface 1d of the first housing 1, the output sound of the speaker 61 is reduced even if the lower surface 1d of the first housing 2 is brought into surface contact with the mounting place. The sound can be transmitted to the outside without securing the volume.

  Further, since the sound emitting hole 1e is not formed on the side surface of the first housing 1, the design of the side surface of the first housing 1 is improved, and installation space for operation buttons, connectors, and the like is increased. Can be secured on the side.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to all devices having a camera, such as a PDA, a notebook computer, a wearable computer, a calculator, and an electronic dictionary. Can be used.
Further, the input unit of the hinge case may be a touch key, a fingerprint authentication unit, or other input devices in addition to the photographing unit.
Also, the shape of the housing is arbitrary, and it is needless to say that other specific detailed structures can be appropriately changed.
Further, the mobile phone may be one in which two cases are connected by a slide mechanism such as a so-called slide type, or one in which two cases are connected by a uniaxial hinge unit such as a so-called folding type or revolver type. Alternatively, two housings may be connected by a biaxial hinge unit such as a so-called rotating biaxial hinge type. Further, a so-called cycloid type or a so-called straight type may be used.
In the case of the folding type, for example, the hinge case 3 and the second housing 2 are assembled together so that the hinge case 3 and the second housing 2 are fixed, and the rotation axis with the axis line in the left-right direction is the protruding portion 1b. The protrusion 1b is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the lower case 34 about its rotation axis. For this reason, the mobile phone cannot be set in the book style as shown in FIG. 3, but can be set in the open state as shown in FIG.
