  Further, the peripheral surface of the inner wall 34d, that is, the peripheral surface of the inner wall 34d in the horizontal direction of the front lid portion 34a, and the peripheral surface of the inner wall 34d in the vertical direction of the side surface lid portion 34b are respectively formed as tapered surfaces 34f. The surface 34f is inclined toward the base portion 33 so that the surface opposite to the circumferential groove 34e is lowered. On the other hand, also in the inner peripheral edge portion of the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20, a lateral tapered surface 23 is formed in the front opening 22a and a longitudinal tapered surface 23 is formed in the side opening 22b. The surface 23 is inclined so that the case wall is thin at the opening end side and the wall thickness at the back is thick. The tapered surface 23 in the vicinity of the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20 and the tapered surface 34f of the inner wall 34d of the lid 34 are in contact with each other.

  In addition, the height of the outer wall 34c and the inner wall 34d may be changed so that the peripheral edge of the outer wall 34c is also formed in a tapered surface, and may be configured to contact the tapered surface separately directed to the waterproof case 20.

  The outer wall 34c of the lid portion 34 is formed with a plurality of cutout window portions 34g communicating with the circumferential groove 34e. Specifically, a notch window portion 34g that communicates with the circumferential groove 34e is formed at the upper and lower positions at approximately the center position in the width direction of each outer wall 34c of the front lid portion 34a and the side lid portion 34b. As for the size (height) of the notch window portion 34g, the inner end of the notch window portion 34g is provided at the same position as the bottom surface of the circumferential groove 34e. Further, a notch window portion 24 communicating with the circumferential groove 34e is also formed at the periphery of the opening portion 22 of the waterproof case 20. The cutout window 24 of the waterproof case 20 is provided so that an engagement protrusion 34h (see FIG. 1) formed in a circumferential groove 34e on the opposite side of the side cover 34b of the front cover 34a can be engaged.

By filling the liquid resin, the antenna component 30 housed in the housing portion 21 can be fixed, and the waterproofness of the antenna device 10 can be further enhanced.

  The circumferential groove 34e and the communication passage 34j serve as a filling space for the resin filler 42, and a part of the notched window 34g serves as a liquid resin inlet. As illustrated by an arrow in FIG. The passage 34j functions as a flow path and a discharge path for the liquid resin, and the internal air accompanying the resin injection is discharged from the other notch window portion 34g, and excess resin leaks out. As the liquid resin, for example, a silicon resin or a polyamide resin is used. These resin materials have the advantage that excellent sealing performance, that is, waterproofness can be obtained because of excellent injection properties, and excellent durability against vibration can be obtained by having elasticity after curing. Yes.

  The terminal cover 35 projects from the side cover 34b of the cover 34 in a cylindrical shape in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side cover 34b. On the surface of the center portion of the side cover portion 34 b inside the terminal cover 35, end portions of the pair of external terminal pins 41 protrude. The outer terminal pin 41 is insert-molded from the base portion 33 to the side cover portion 34b so that the inner end portion of the outer terminal pin 41 is connected to the inner terminals 39, 39, respectively. The external terminal pin 41 is connected to an external electronic device via a connector (not shown).

  Briefly describing the assembly of the antenna device 10 of the first embodiment, the bobbin portion 32, the base portion 33, the lid portion 34, and the terminal cover 35 are inserted by inserting the internal terminal 39 and the external terminal pin 41 into a molding die. The side plate portion 36 and the elastic portion 37 are integrally formed, and the waterproof case 20 is separately formed. A winding coil 38 is wound around the bobbin portion 32, its end portion is coupled to the internal terminal 39, a capacitor is installed in the base portion 33, its terminal is coupled to the internal terminal 39, and a magnetic core is further provided inside. The antenna component 30 is assembled by inserting 31.

  Thereafter, the antenna component 30 is inserted from the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20 in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic core 31 with the elastic portion 37 as a tip, and the lid 34 seals the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20. Push in. At the final stage of pushing in, the elastic portion 37 at the tip contacts the bottom surface of the housing portion 21 of the waterproof case 20 and is deformed, and thereafter, the engaging protrusion 34 h of the lid portion 34 is engaged with the notch window portion 24 of the waterproof case 20. In combination, the lid 34 is incorporated in a state where the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20 is sealed.

  In addition, on the inner surface of the waterproof case 20, a guide portion (not shown) that guides the vertical position or the horizontal position when the antenna component 30 is inserted is installed.

  In the state where the antenna component 30 is pushed into the waterproof case 20 and combined, the longitudinal and lateral taper surfaces 34f of the peripheral edge of the inner wall 34d are the vertical and lateral taper surfaces of the peripheral edge of the opening 22 of the waterproof case 20. 23 in a pressure contact state. Thereafter, for example, a liquid resin is injected from the notched window portion 34g using the notched window portion 34g in the upper portion of the outer wall 34c of the front lid portion 34a as an injection port, and the injected resin flows in the circumferential direction through the circumferential groove 34e. At the same time, it flows into the communication passage 34j and flows into the circumferential groove 34e on the opposite side, and the air there is discharged from the cutout windows 24 and 34g other than the inlet, and a liquid resin is provided around the circumferential groove 34e. The surplus resin overflows from the other notch windows 24 and 34g, and the injection of the resin is stopped after confirming that the entire circumference of the circumferential groove 34e is filled. The filler 42 is filled by subsequent curing of the liquid resin.

  By filling the filler 42, the antenna component 30 that is sealed and joined to the lid portion 34 of the antenna component 30 on the entire circumference of the opening 22 can be secured. Further, the waterproof case 20 and the antenna component 30 can be assembled only by pushing in the antenna component 30 as an integral component, and the taper surfaces 23 and 34f can be prevented from entering the liquid resin. In addition to the improvement in waterproof sealability due to the mutual contact between the surfaces, there is no intrusion of resin into the unintentional position beyond the taper surface, and the desired antenna device 10 can be easily and efficiently produced, and the filler 42 The strength of the opening 22 is high and good waterproof durability can be ensured by joining the lid 34 and the waterproof case 20 with curing.

  The antenna device 10 according to the first embodiment described above has a double wall structure of the lid 34 integrally formed with the antenna component 30 and waterproofs the antenna component 30 housed in the waterproof case 20. Since the lid portion 34 has an integrated structure, the assembly position accuracy with respect to the waterproof case 20 becomes better than when a separate lid body is attached, and the formation of a gap into which moisture enters can be prevented, thereby improving the waterproofness. There is an effect. Further, the filler 42 is filled in the circumferential groove 34e formed between the double wall structure of the outer wall 34c and the inner wall 34d of the lid portion 34. Since the filled filler 42 fills the space between the lid portion 34 and the inner peripheral surface of the waterproof case 20, there is an effect that the waterproofness is enhanced by eliminating a gap for moisture to enter from the outside.

  As a modification of the above-described embodiment, the resin component of the antenna component 30 is integrally formed. However, the bobbin portion 32 and the base portion 33 (lid portion 34) are formed separately, and the wound coil 38 is formed. After the bobbin portion 32 and the base portion 33 wound together are assembled and integrated, the antenna device 10 may be configured by incorporating the filler 42 into the waterproof case 20 and injecting the filler 42.

  In addition, the number of cutout window portions 34g is required to be at least one for resin injection, and at least one for air discharge and excess resin leakage. The number of notch windows 34g for resin injection is not limited to one, and the resin is injected from a plurality of positions by the plurality of notch windows 34g, so that the entire circumferential groove 34e can be surely and quickly. Resin filling may be performed. In addition, a plurality of notched window portions including a notched window portion for injecting resin may be formed in the waterproof case 20 at a position corresponding to the circumferential groove 34e, and at that time, the notched window portion is formed on the outer wall 34c. In some cases, the formation of 34g can be omitted. Moreover, it is good also as a form which served as the opening for engagement and the opening for discharge | emission like the notch window part 24 of the waterproof case 20 in the said embodiment.

  Furthermore, the number of communication passages 34j and the formation site thereof can be appropriately changed in design according to the shape of the lid 34 and the like from the viewpoint of improving the fluidity of the filler 42. For example, a plurality of communication paths may be communicated with each other, and the resin can be distributed in multiple directions by forming a communication path in the vertical direction and a communication path in the horizontal direction.

  The above-described modification can be similarly applied to a second embodiment described later.

  Next, the cover part 134 seals the opening part 122 of the waterproof case 120, and has a double wall structure of the outer wall 134c and the inner wall 134d. FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional structure of the lid portion 134, and the outer wall 134 c of the lid portion 134 abuts on the inner circumferential surface of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120.

  A concave circumferential groove 134e is provided on the entire outer periphery of the lid portion 134 between the outer wall 134c and the inner wall 134d. The circumferential groove 134e is provided so as to continuously contact the entire periphery of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120.

  Further, the peripheral surface of the inner wall 134d is formed as a tapered surface 134f, and the tapered surface 134f is inclined toward the base portion 133 so that the surface opposite to the peripheral groove 134e is lowered. On the other hand, a tapered surface 123 is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120. The tapered surface 123 of the waterproof case 120 has a thin case wall on the opening end side and a deep wall thickness. It is inclined to be thick. The tapered surface 123 formed on the inner peripheral surface near the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120 and the tapered surface 134f of the inner wall 134d of the lid 134 are in contact with each other.

  In addition, the height of the outer wall 134c and the inner wall 134d may be changed so that the peripheral edge of the outer wall 134c is also formed in a tapered surface, and may be configured to be in contact with the tapered surface separately directed to the waterproof case 120.

  A plurality of notch windows 134g communicating with the circumferential groove 134e are formed at the upper and lower positions of the lid wall 134 at the substantially central position in the width direction of the outer wall 134c. As for the size (height) of the notch window portion 134g of the outer wall 134c, the inner end portion of the notch window portion 134g is provided at the same position as the bottom surface of the circumferential groove 134e. Furthermore, the left and right case walls at the periphery of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120 are formed with notch windows 124 communicating with the circumferential groove 134e. The notch window portion 124 of the waterproof case 120 is provided so that engagement protrusions 134 h formed in the circumferential grooves 134 e on both sides of the lid portion 134 can be engaged.

  The lid portion 134 between the outer wall 134c and the inner wall 134d has a communication path 134j that communicates circumferential grooves 134e that face different inner surfaces of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120. Specifically, the lid portion 134 has an end portion opened in a circumferential groove 134e at the same position corresponding to the notch window portion 134g of the outer wall 134c, and a communication path 134j penetrating the lid portion 134 in the vertical direction is substantially at the center. One is formed.

  Further, in this example as well as the previous example, in order to increase the waterproofness of the antenna device 100 after the antenna component 130 is stored in the storage unit 121, a circumferential groove that is an annular space formed on the outer periphery of the lid unit 134. 134e is filled with a filler 142 made of a liquid resin (indicated by chain line hatching in FIG. 8) and cured. By filling the liquid resin, it is possible to fix the antenna component 130 stored in the storage unit 121 and further improve the waterproofness of the antenna device 100.

  The circumferential groove 134e and the communication path 134j serve as a filling space for the resin filler 142, one of the cutout windows 134g serves as a liquid resin inlet, and the circumferential groove 134e and the communication path 134j serve as a liquid resin flow path and a discharge path. As a result, the internal air accompanying the resin injection is discharged from the other notch window portion 134g, and excess resin leaks out.

  The terminal cover 135 protrudes from the lid portion 134 in a cylindrical shape in a direction perpendicular to the surface thereof (longitudinal direction of the antenna component 130). On the surface of the center portion of the lid portion 134 inside the terminal cover 135, end portions of the pair of external terminal pins 141 protrude. The outer terminal pin 141 is insert-molded so that the outer terminal pin 141 penetrates the lid part 134 from the base part 133 so as to be connected to the internal terminals 139 and 139, respectively. The external terminal pin 141 is connected to an external electronic device via a connector (not shown).

  In this example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a seal portion 145 filled with an elastic resin is disposed in a recess formed in the root portion of the outer terminal pin 141, and an end face of an external connector (not shown) It is comprised so that a waterproof seal property may be acquired by contact | abutting between. That is, when an external connector is mounted along the terminal cover 135, the external connector is electrically connected to the external terminal pin 141, and the distal end surface thereof is held in pressure contact with the seal portion 145. Water is prevented from entering the electrical connection portion with the pin 141 to obtain waterproofness.

  Briefly explaining the assembly of the antenna device 100 of the second embodiment, the internal terminal 139 and the external terminal pin 141 are inserted into a molding die, and the bobbin portion 132, the base portion 133, the lid portion 134, and the terminal cover 135 are inserted. The side plate portion 136 and the elastic portion 137 are integrally formed, and the waterproof case 120 is separately formed. The winding coil 138 is wound around the bobbin portion 132, the end portion thereof is coupled to the internal terminal 139, the capacitor is disposed on the base portion 133, the terminal portion is coupled to the internal terminal 139, and the inside is magnetically The antenna component 130 is assembled by inserting the core 131. In addition, the seal portion 145 is provided by filling the concave portion formed in the inner outer wall 134c of the terminal cover 135 after integral molding with a filler.

  Thereafter, the antenna component 130 is inserted from the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120 in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic core 131 with the elastic portion 137 as a tip, and the lid 134 seals the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120. Push in. At the final push-in stage, the elastic portion 137 at the tip is deformed by contacting the bottom surface of the housing portion 121 of the waterproof case 120, and then the engaging protrusion 134 h of the lid portion 134 is engaged with the notch window portion 124 of the waterproof case 120. In combination, the lid 134 is incorporated in a state in which the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120 is sealed.

  Note that a guide portion (not shown) is provided on the inner surface of the waterproof case 120 to guide the vertical position or the horizontal position when the antenna component 130 is inserted.

  In the state where the antenna part 130 is pushed into the waterproof case 120 and combined, the tapered surface 134f on the peripheral edge of the inner wall 134d contacts the tapered surface 123 on the peripheral edge of the opening 122 of the waterproof case 120 in a pressure contact state. Thereafter, for example, a liquid resin is injected from the notched window portions 124 and 134g using the notched window portion 134g on the upper portion of the outer wall 134c of the lid portion 134 as an injection port, and the injected resin passes through the circumferential groove 134e in the circumferential direction. While flowing, it flows into the communication path 134j and flows into the lower circumferential groove 134e, and the air there is discharged from the notch window portion 134g other than the inlet, and the entire circumference of the circumferential groove 134e is filled with liquid resin. The excess resin overflows from the lower cutout window portion 134g and the cutout window portion 124 of the waterproof case 120, thereby confirming that the entire circumference of the circumferential groove 134e is filled with resin. To stop. The filler 142 is filled by subsequent curing of the liquid resin.

  By filling the filler 142, as in the previous example, the antenna component 130 is sealed and joined to the entire periphery of the lid portion 134 of the antenna component 130 on the entire periphery of the opening 122, and stored in the waterproof case 120. Waterproofness can be secured. In addition, the waterproof case 120 and the antenna component 130 can be assembled only by pushing in the antenna component 130 that is an integral component, and the taper surfaces 123 and 134f can be prevented from entering the liquid resin. In addition to the improvement in waterproof sealability due to mutual contact between the surfaces, there is no intrusion of resin into the unintentional position beyond the tapered surface, and the desired antenna device 100 can be easily and efficiently produced, and the filler 142 By joining the lid portion 134 and the waterproof case 120 accompanying the curing, the strength of the opening portion 122 is high and good waterproof durability can be ensured.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the electronic component apparatus which concerns on this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, The thing of a various aspect can be comprised.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the antenna component is stored in the waterproof case, but the stored component is not limited to the antenna component (coil component). That is, it goes without saying that the same function and effect can be obtained even if an electronic component device is formed by housing an electronic circuit other than the antenna component and a waterproof case.
