(Embodiment 1)
2 and 3 show a mobile phone 1 (smart phone) as an electronic apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The mobile phone 1 includes a housing 3 that houses a liquid crystal display unit 2 including a touch panel, for example. The back side of the housing 3 is covered with a plate-like back panel 5. A battery 6 is accommodated in the center of the back surface of the housing 3, a main board 7 is accommodated in the lower side, and a sub board 8 is accommodated in the upper side.

  The back surface of the sub-substrate 8 is covered with, for example, a flat antenna member 9. In the present embodiment, a display plate 10 as a movable body can be accommodated between the front surface of the antenna member 9 and the back surface of the sub-substrate 8. The antenna member 9 may not be provided. The display plate 10 can be accommodated and confirmed from a plate opening 4 that is open at the upper end of the housing 3, for example, as an opening for a movable body that is elongated in the left-right direction. In the plate opening 4, the SIM card 11 and the like can be taken in and out, and the shape is relatively long to the left and right in order to secure ease of taking in and out. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the plate opening 4 is sealed and waterproofed by a connector cover 12, for example. The display plate 10 is made of, for example, a resin molded product. However, the display plate 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can be attached with a wide slit width such as a thin metal.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the casing 3 is integrally provided with a support column 4 a extending in the thickness direction of the mobile phone 1 so as to straddle the plate opening 4. In the present embodiment, the support column 4a is integrally formed when the housing 3 is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the cross section thereof is a rectangular shape having a long side length L2 and a short side length L1 ( (L1 <L2). Since the support columns 4a are provided integrally, it is easy to manufacture and secure strength.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the display plate 10 has a slit 13 that allows the display plate 10 to move within the plate opening 4 to change the position of the display plate 10 when the column 4 a passes therethrough. Is formed. The slit 13 is normally closed at the tip and is opened when the column 4a is passed through. The slit 13 extends linearly in the longitudinal direction therefrom, and is narrower than the length L2 of the long side of the column 4a. From a straight line portion 13b having a width W1 (W1 <L2), a circular bent portion 13c formed on the back side of the straight portion 13b, and a bent portion 13c perpendicularly from the long side length L2. The width W2 (W2> L2) of the vertical portion 13d is slightly wider, the narrow portion 13e having a width narrower than L2 provided at the end point of the vertical portion 13d, and a substantially rectangular shape ahead of each side. Has a turning portion 13f that is slightly wider than the long side length L2. In addition, the shape of this slit 13 is not limited to this, You may have a point which bends two or more. In the vicinity of the turning portion 13f, a hooking portion 10a for turning the display plate 10 to confirm the display is formed. The hook portion 10a has a longer length from the column 4a on the side surface in the left-right direction of the display plate 10 viewed from the plate opening 4 in the accommodated state of the display plate 10 (in FIG. 1, the right side having a longer left and right length). ).

  Next, a specific procedure for inserting and removing the display plate 10 will be described. In FIG. 1, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the back panel 5 and the antenna member 9 are removed for easy viewing.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the opening / closing part 13a is expanded while being pressed against the support 4a, and the support 4a is inserted into the linear part 13b. Since the front end of the display plate 10 can be opened and closed in this manner, the display plate 10 can be detached even after the mobile phone 1 is assembled, and the structure can be extremely simplified.

  Next, when the display plate 10 is further pushed in while the opening / closing part 13a is opened and the straight line part 13b is expanded and the column 4a is advanced to the bent part 13c as shown in FIG. 4B, the width becomes wider. Closes and stabilizes. In addition, since the width W1 of the linear part 13b is made narrower than the long side L2 of the support | pillar 4a and the area of the slit 13 is made small, the strength reduction of the display plate 10 by the slit 13 is minimized.

  Next, the display plate 10 is rotated 90 degrees to obtain the state shown in FIG. 5A.

  Further, the display plate 10 is pushed in so that the column 4a passes through the vertical portion 13d, and is further pushed in further through the narrow portion 13e so that the column 4a comes into the rotating portion 13f as shown in FIG.

  Next, the display plate 10 is rotated 180 degrees so that the support column 4a moves within the wide rotating portion 13f to the position shown in FIG. 5B. Since the size of the rotation part 13f is larger than the long side L2 of the support column 4a, the rotation is easy.

  Then, the straight portion 13b, the bent portion 13c, the vertical portion 13d, and the like reappear outside the plate opening 4.

  Next, in that state, the display seal 14 is pasted so as to block the straight line portion 13b, the bent portion 13c, and the vertical portion 13d. On the display sticker 14, important information such as IMEI and serial number is displayed. Since the display sticker 14 can be affixed at the final stage of the production process, management of important information is easy. This is because if the display sticker 14 is pasted at an early stage, it is difficult to appropriately manage important information in the case where there is a failure in the production process. In the present embodiment, the display sticker 14 is attached to only one side of the display plate 10, but it may be attached to both sides. Thereby, the contents which can be displayed increase and it is advantageous.

  Next, when the display plate 10 is rotated 180 degrees again, the display plate 10 is accommodated in the plate opening 4.

  When confirming the display plate 10 attached in this way, the hooking portion 10a of the display plate 10 on which the display seal 14 at the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is stretched is hooked with a finger and rotated 180 degrees.

  Since the back side of the narrow part 13e is covered with the display sticker 14, once the display sticker 14 is pasted, the column 4a can move only within the turning part 13f, so that the display plate 10 can only turn. It becomes. For this reason, the movement of the display plate 10 can be controlled only by the support columns 4a, the receiving surface and the guide are unnecessary, and the housing 3 is downsized. Further, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, the display plate 10 is rotated by putting the fingertip on the hook portion 10a, so that it is difficult to apply force in the direction in which the display plate 10 is forcibly pulled out. 14 is not broken.

  Thus, since the support 4a is provided so as to straddle the plate opening 4, the strength of the housing 3 is prevented from being reduced due to the enlargement of the movable opening, and the display plate 10 can be smoothly put in and out by the slit 13. Is possible. For this reason, it is possible to display and manage important information without increasing the size of the housing 3.

  In addition, since the bent portion 13c is provided, it is difficult for the column 4a to advance toward the vertical portion 13d even if the display plate 10 is forced to be pushed or pulled out.

  Further, since the width W2 of the slit 13 on the side opposite to the insertion side to the support column 4a is wider than the length L2 of the long side of the support column 4a, the opening / closing unit 13a is closed before the bent portion 13c. It stabilizes at.

  Further, since the display sticker 14 is pasted from above the slit 13 except for the rotating portion 13f on the side opposite to the insertion side to the support column 4a, the display tray 10 is not broken and the display sticker 14 is not broken. The plate 10 cannot be pulled out, and there is an extremely excellent advantage that the diversion of the display seal 14 to another mobile phone 1 is reliably prevented. In addition, since most of the slit 13 is closed by the display seal 14, the strength of the display plate 10 is also ensured.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the display plate 10 can be easily inserted and removed while the plate opening 4 is reinforced.

FIG. 8 shows a mobile phone 101 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that the configuration of the support column 104a is different. In the following embodiments, the same portions as those in FIGS. 1 to 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Specifically, the support column 104a of the present embodiment is disposed so as to straddle the plate opening 4 of the housing 103 as in the first embodiment, but is a separate component from the resin housing 103, for example. It consists of metal pins. For example, the support plate 104a can be inserted through the through-hole 103a formed in the housing 103. For example, the display plate 10 is inserted into the plate opening 4 without providing the display plate 10 with the opening / closing portion 13a. Since the post 104a can be inserted later, the degree of freedom in the manufacturing process is improved. Further, by using a metal pin, the reinforcing effect is further improved, and the size can be reduced. Further, the rigidity of the display plate 10 can be improved and the diversion thereof can be prevented.

  In addition, you may provide the metal support | pillar 104a by insert molding. In that case, the display plate 10 requires an opening / closing part 13a, which is advantageous in terms of strength improvement.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 9 shows a mobile phone 201 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first and second embodiments in that the configurations of the housing 203 and the column 204a are different.

  That is, in this embodiment, the support column 204a is integrally formed on the liquid crystal display unit 2 side of the housing 203, but the back side wall part 203a constituting the plate opening 4 on the back side is configured as a separate part. ing.

  By fitting the rear side wall portion 203a after the display plate 10 is attached, the opening / closing portion 13a of the display plate 10 does not have to be provided, the rigidity of the display plate 10 is improved, and the rear panel 5 and the rear side wall portion 203a. It is possible to prevent the display plate 10 from being removed unless it is removed.

(Embodiment 4)

  That is, in this embodiment, the side from the support column 4a to the side surface in the left-right direction on the side surface (upper surface in FIG. 10) of the display plate 310 viewed from the plate opening 4, that is, the side opposite to the insertion hole of the slit 313 is short. Further, a pushing portion 315 is formed for rotating the display plate 310 while pushing it. In addition, in the slit 313 of this embodiment, the opening-and-closing part 13a like the said Embodiment 1 is not provided, but is always opening.

  Here, FIGS. 12 and 13 show a comparative example of this embodiment. In this comparative example, the pushing portion 315 is provided on the insertion port side of the slit 313 ′ of the display plate 310 ′. That is, the pushing portion 315 'is provided at a position different from that of the fourth embodiment. When this display plate 310 ′ is rotated around the support column 4a, the insertion port side of the slit 313 ′ enters the inside of the housing 303. Therefore, a rib or the like cannot be provided in the wide rotation range, and the member In addition, the plate openings 4 must be enlarged, and the appearance deteriorates.

  However, as shown in FIG. 11, when the pushing portion 315 is provided at the position of the fourth embodiment on the side opposite to the insertion port of the slit 313, the side of the display plate 310 that is short from the column 4a is the inside of the housing 303. Therefore, the rotation range is limited as compared with the comparative example, and the arrangement of members and the like is easy.

-Modification of Embodiment 4-
FIG. 14 shows a display plate 410 according to a modification of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The pushing portion 415 of the present modification projects in the longitudinal direction of the display plate 410 (to the left in FIG. 14) and protrudes toward the plate opening 4 side (upper side in FIG. 14) as the distance from the rotating portion 13f increases.

  In this way, the length X of the arm for applying the rotational moment when pushing in is longer than the length Y of the arm in the fourth embodiment as compared to the flat pushing portion 315 as in the fourth embodiment ( X> Y), the display plate 410 can be pushed in with a light force.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 15 shows a display plate 510 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that not only the hooking portion 10a but also the pushing portion 515 is provided.

  That is, depending on the user, it may be better to push the pushing portion 515 than to hook a finger or the like on the catching portion 10a.

  In the present embodiment, the display plate 510 can be rotated easily because it can be pulled or pushed. Furthermore, since the display plate 510 rotates in the same direction regardless of whether it is pushed or pulled, the design around the display plate 510 may be the same as in the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 6)
FIG. 16 shows a display plate 610 according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention, which is different from Embodiment 4 in that the cross section of the column 604a is circular and the shape of the rotating portion 613f of the slit 613 is also circular.
