以下、携帯機の一実施の形態について説明する。
図1に示すように、車両キーとしてユーザが所持する携帯機1は、車載器との無線通信が可能であり、通信媒体となるアンテナ2が実装された基板3の他、基板保持用のケース4、バッテリ5、バッテリ用のカバー6が加飾用のケース7内に収容されている。バッテリ用のカバー6が基板保持用のケース4に着脱可能に取り付けられてバッテリ取り出し部が構成される。
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the portable device will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the portable device 1 possessed by the user as a vehicle key is capable of wireless communication with an in-vehicle device, and is a case for holding the board in addition to the board 3 on which the antenna 2 serving as a communication medium is mounted. 4. The battery 5 and the battery cover 6 are housed in the decorative case 7. The battery cover 6 is detachably attached to the board holding case 4 to form a battery ejecting portion.

基板3には、アンテナ2の他、車両の動作(ドアロックの施解錠等)が割り当てられたスイッチ8、通信制御等を実行するマイコン(図示略)、バッテリ5が接続されるターミナル(図示略)が実装されている。 In addition to the antenna 2, the board 3 has a switch 8 to which vehicle operations (door lock locking / unlocking, etc.) are assigned, a microcomputer (not shown) that executes communication control, and a terminal (not shown) to which a battery 5 is connected. ) Is implemented.

尚、加飾用のケース7は、上下一対のケース(アッパケースとロアケース)からなり、アッパケース(図示略)に組み付けられたボタンが押下されると、ボタン直下のスイッチ8がオンすることにより、該スイッチ8に割り当てられた動作を指示する無線信号がアンテナ2を通じて外部に送信される。 The decorative case 7 is composed of a pair of upper and lower cases (upper case and lower case), and when a button assembled to the upper case (not shown) is pressed, the switch 8 directly under the button is turned on. , A radio signal instructing the operation assigned to the switch 8 is transmitted to the outside through the antenna 2.

図2(a)、(b)に示すように、基板保持用のケース4は、基板3の保持機能を実現する基板保持部11を有して硬質樹脂により略台状に形成されるとともに、所要箇所にシリコーンゴムがインサート成形されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the substrate holding case 4 has a substrate holding portion 11 that realizes a holding function of the substrate 3 and is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape by a hard resin. Silicone rubber is insert-molded at the required points.

そして、弾性を有するシリコーンゴムによって、基板保持用のケース4の表側には、基板保持部11で保持する基板3への衝撃を緩和する機能を実現する基板保護部12が形成されるとともに、基板3に実装されるアンテナ2の保護機能を実現するシート状のアンテナ保護部13が形成されている。同じく基板保持用のケース4の裏側には、バッテリ取り出し部の防水機能を実現するリング状の防水シール部14が形成され、さらに、該ケース4の側部における加飾用のケース7との嵌合部には、加飾用のケース7内に収容された部品を衝撃から保護する機能を実現する突状の衝撃吸収部15が形成されている。 Then, the elastic silicone rubber forms a substrate protection portion 12 on the front side of the substrate holding case 4 to realize a function of cushioning the impact on the substrate 3 held by the substrate holding portion 11, and also forms a substrate. A sheet-shaped antenna protection portion 13 that realizes the protection function of the antenna 2 mounted on the 3 is formed. Similarly, on the back side of the case 4 for holding the substrate, a ring-shaped waterproof seal portion 14 that realizes a waterproof function of the battery take-out portion is formed, and further, the side portion of the case 4 is fitted with the case 7 for decoration. A protruding shock absorbing portion 15 is formed in the joint portion to realize a function of protecting the parts housed in the decorative case 7 from impact.

基板保護部12、アンテナ保護部13、防水シール部14、衝撃吸収部15は、基板保持部11による基板3の保持機能(基板保持用のケース4における元来の機能)とは異なるそれぞれの機能を実現する他機能部に相当する。 The board protection section 12, the antenna protection section 13, the waterproof seal section 14, and the shock absorbing section 15 have different functions from the board 3 holding function (the original function in the board holding case 4) by the board holding section 11. Corresponds to other functional parts that realize.

次に、携帯機1の作用について説明する。
図3に示すように、本例の携帯機1とは異なる比較例の携帯機20は、アンテナ21が実装された基板22の他、軟質材によるアンテナ保護用のシート23、基板保持用のケース24、バッテリ25、バッテリ用のカバー26が加飾用のケース27内に収容されている。そして、バッテリ用のカバー26には、シリコーンゴムがインサート成形されて防水用のシール形状28が形成されている。この場合、基板22の保持機能を基板保持用のケース24で、アンテナ21の保護機能をアンテナ保護用のシート23で、バッテリ取り出し部の防水機能をバッテリ用のカバー26で実施するといったように、3つの機能を3部品で実施することになり、部品点数及び組付け工数が増加する。

Then, silicone rubber is insert-molded into the battery cover 26 to form a waterproof seal shape 28. In this case, the holding function of the board 22 is carried out by the case 24 for holding the board, the protective function of the antenna 21 is carried out by the sheet 23 for protecting the antenna, and the waterproof function of the battery ejecting portion is carried out by the cover 26 for the battery. Since the three functions are performed by three parts, the number of parts and the assembly man-hours increase.

これに対し、本例の携帯機1は、基板3の保持機能の他、アンテナ2の保護機能、バッテリ取り出し部の防水機能を基板保持用のケース4で実施するとともに、基板3への衝撃を緩和する機能及び加飾用のケース7内に収容された部品を衝撃から保護する機能についても基板保持用のケース4で実施するため、部品点数及び組付け工数を低減できる。 On the other hand, in the portable device 1 of this example, in addition to the holding function of the board 3, the protection function of the antenna 2 and the waterproof function of the battery take-out part are performed in the case 4 for holding the board, and the impact on the board 3 is applied. Since the function of relaxing and the function of protecting the parts housed in the decorative case 7 from impact are also performed in the case 4 for holding the substrate, the number of parts and the assembling man-hours can be reduced.

Therefore, the number of parts and the assembly man-hours can be reduced.

(2)アンテナ2の保護機能を実現する専用部品(アンテナ保護用のシート23)を廃止できる。
(3)バッテリ取り出し部の防水機能を実現する専用部品を廃止できる。或いは、元来、防水用のシール形状28が形成されたバッテリ用のカバー26を備える携帯機20から置き換える場合に、バッテリ用のカバー26から防水用のシール形状28を廃止できる。
(2) The dedicated component (antenna protection sheet 23) that realizes the protection function of the antenna 2 can be abolished.
(3) Dedicated parts that realize the waterproof function of the battery take-out part can be abolished. Alternatively, when replacing the portable device 20 including the battery cover 26 originally formed with the waterproof seal shape 28, the waterproof seal shape 28 can be abolished from the battery cover 26.

(4)基板保持部11で保持する基板3を衝撃から保護できる他、かかる機能を実現する専用部品を廃止できる。
(5)加飾用のケース7内に収容された部品を衝撃から保護できる他、かかる機能を実現する専用部品を廃止できる。
