Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention is an electronic device such as a small personal computer or a word processor that can be carried, and can be driven particularly by attaching a removable battery. The present invention relates to a portable electronic device having an improved battery mounting structure in the electronic device.

(Prior Art) Recent electronic devices such as personal computers and word processors have become smaller and lighter, and along with this, portable electronic devices that are portable have become widespread. This portable electronic device is called a laptop type, whereas an electronic device that is permanently installed on a desk is called a desktop type. A laptop type electronic device can be driven by a battery and has this battery built therein. There is also an electronic device that has a structure in which a rechargeable battery is used and the battery is charged and reused when it is consumed.

The electronic devices shown in FIGS. 5 to 6 show an example of a removable battery mounting structure in a conventional electronic device. In this structure, an opening 4 into which the battery 3 is inserted is provided on one side surface 2 which is a bottom surface when the apparatus body 1 is carried, and the battery 3 is inserted into and attached from the opening 4. Although this structure facilitates the attachment / detachment operation of the battery 3, when the weight of the battery 3 becomes large, a burden is placed on the battery fixing means during carrying. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the strength of the fixing means, and the structure becomes complicated.

The electronic devices shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 show another example of a mounting structure of a removable battery in a conventional electronic device. In this structure, an opening that is normally closed by a lid 7 is provided on a side surface 6 that is a bottom surface when the device body 5 is carried, and the lid 7 is detached and the battery 8 is housed and attached inside. With this structure, the battery 8 can be securely fixed, but the operability is poor because the lid 7 must be removed when the battery 8 is removed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the conventional structure has problems that the fixing structure of the battery is complicated and that operability is poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is a portable electronic device having a detachable pack component, which simplifies the detachment operation of the pack component and the structure of the pack component holding means. It is to provide a structure of a portable electronic device which can be simplified.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention can be attached to and detached from a storage portion formed continuously with an insertion opening formed on the first outer peripheral surface. When a pack component to be stored is stored, a recess provided on the pack component and having a first surface orthogonal to the direction in which the pack component is inserted into the storage unit and a protrusion protruding from the storage unit for the pack component The first surface and the second surface of the convex portion are in contact with each other while the parts are fitted to each other. Also,
The first outer peripheral surface that is the outer peripheral surface of the housing and the second outer peripheral surface that is the outer peripheral surface of the pack component are substantially flush with each other.

(Operation) According to this configuration, since the outer peripheral surface of the pack component and the outer peripheral surface of the device body are substantially flush with each other, the pack component can be easily attached and detached. Further, when carrying the pack component, the first face and the second face which are in contact with the first face and are orthogonal to the storage direction of the pack component are in contact with each other, so that the pack component can be prevented from falling off. Further, the structure of the fixing means for holding the pack component can be simplified.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show a schematic configuration of a main part of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the device body 11 of the electronic device 10 is provided with a battery mounting portion 13 for mounting a removable battery 12. The battery mounting portion 13 is an upper surface 14 of the device body 11.
And a side surface 15 adjacent to the upper surface 14 and serving as a bottom surface when the device 10 is carried, the concave portion is formed.
Further, a part of the side surface 15 is formed so as to project to the upper surface 14 side from the mounting bottom surface, and the inner surface is used as the support portion 16.

On the other hand, the battery 12 detachably attached to the battery attachment portion 13
The battery mounting portion 13 is mounted so as to fill the concave portion thereof, and a part 18 corresponding to the supporting portion 16 is cut out.
When attached to the battery mounting portion 13, the upper surface 19 and the side surface 20 are flush with the upper surface 14 and the side surface 15 of the device body 11, respectively, and form a part of the exterior surface of the device body 11. ing.

Therefore, when the battery 12 is attached and detached, the electronic device 10 having this structure can be easily attached and detached by grasping and operating the battery 12 exposed on the outer surface of the device body 11. Further, when carrying the battery 12, a part 18 of the battery 12 contacts the supporting portion 16, and the weight of the battery 12 is received by the supporting portion 16. Therefore, it is possible to securely hold the battery 12 without complicating the fixing means.

Next, FIGS. 3 to 4 show a schematic configuration of a main part of an electronic apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In FIGS. 3 to 4, the device body 22 of the electronic device 21 is provided with a battery mounting portion 24 for mounting a removable battery 23. The battery mounting portion 24 is formed by a recessed portion that is cut out across an upper surface 25 of the device body 22 and a side surface 26 that is adjacent to the upper surface 25 and serves as a bottom surface when the device 21 is carried. Further, a wall-shaped support portion 27 protruding toward the upper surface 30 side in a state substantially parallel to the side surface 26 from the attachment surface of the battery attachment portion 24 is provided integrally with the device body 11.

On the other hand, the battery 23 detachably attached to the battery attachment portion 24,
The battery mounting portion 24 is mounted so as to fill the recessed portion, and has a shape in which a recess 29 is provided by cutting out a part corresponding to the support portion 27. Then, in the state of being attached to the battery mounting portion 24, the concave portion 29 and the supporting portion 27 are engaged, and the upper surface 30 and the side surface are
31 and 31 are flush with the upper surface 25 and the side surface 26 of the device body 22, respectively, and constitute a part of the exterior surface of the device body 22.

Therefore, when the battery 23 is attached / detached, the electronic device 21 of this structure can be easily attached / detached by grasping and operating the battery 23 exposed on the outer surface of the device body 22. Further, when carrying the battery 23, the concave portion 29 of the battery 23 contacts the supporting portion 27, and the weight of the battery 23 is received by the supporting portion 27. Therefore, the battery 23 can be securely held without complicating the fixing means.
