Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a housing structure of an electronic device, and more particularly to a housing structure of an electronic device provided with a holding structure for temporarily fixing a movable component contained therein.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1B, a housing structure of an electronic device such as an intercom which incorporates a movable component is conventionally provided in an electronic device housing 1 including an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. A movable part 2 for adjusting the position of the movable part 2, a spring 3 for suppressing the movement of the movable part 2 in the longitudinal direction, and sandwiching ribs 4 and 4 provided on the upper housing 11 to sandwich the movable part 2 are provided. .

[0003] As shown in FIG.
A shaft 23, a head 22 having a larger diameter of the shaft 23,
The component support member 21 is screwed with the shaft post 23, and a grip projection 24 protruding from the component support member 21 and gripping a board (not shown) on which an electronic device such as a camera is mounted. The support member 21 has a rectangular outer peripheral horizontal section. The movable part 2 is used to adjust the position of the camera mounted on the board.

[0004] The movable part 2 is inserted into the hole 6 of the upper housing 11, and a spring 3 for suppressing the longitudinal movement of the movable part 2 is provided by:
It is arranged from the component support member 21 to the tip end side of the shaft column 23. Finally, the lower housing 12 is fitted to form a housing of this type of electronic device in which movable parts are built.

[0005]

In this type of product, a lower housing 12 and an upper housing 11 having a movable part 2 and a spring 3 mounted thereon are usually manufactured separately. Therefore, when transporting the movable part 2 with the movable part 2 and the spring 3 mounted on the housing 11, the movable part 2 is formed in a rectangular shape with respect to the upper housing 11 because the horizontal cross section of the outer periphery of the component support member 21 is square. The spring 3 is unstable in the longitudinal direction of the movable part 2, so that the lower housing 12 can be assembled or temporarily separated. It is necessary to cover a typical cover (not shown).

[0006] As described above, there is a disadvantage that transport in a semi-assembled state is not possible, and there is a problem that the number of parts of the cover is increased as a separate part, and it takes time to cover the cover. An object of the present invention is to provide a housing structure of an electronic device capable of temporarily fixing built-in movable parts so as to be able to be transported in a semi-assembled state without requiring separate parts, in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages. With the goal.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a housing structure of an electronic device, comprising: a movable component for adjusting a position of the electronic device; ,
A spring that suppresses the movement of the movable part in the longitudinal direction, a clamping rib provided on one of the housings to clamp the movable part, and a spring locking part provided on the clamping rib to lock the spring It is.

[0008] Since the spring is locked to the locking portion, a separate component such as a cover is not required, and transport in a semi-assembled state is possible.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a housing structure of an electronic device according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, a housing structure of this type of electronic device including a movable component is provided in a housing 1 of the electronic device including an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. A movable component 2 for adjusting the position of the electronic device, a spring 3 for suppressing the longitudinal movement of the movable component 2, and a movable component 2 provided on the upper housing 11;
And a pair of clamping ribs 4 and 4 provided on the clamping rib 4 and claws 5 and 5 serving as spring retaining portions for retaining the spring 2.

The claw 5 is extended from the tip of the clamping rib 4 to a length capable of locking the spring 2 and is fixed with a screw or an adhesive, and as shown in FIG. It is more preferable to have an inclination angle in the direction of the eleventh hole. The movable part 2
As shown in FIG. 3A, the shaft 23, a head 22 having a larger diameter of the shaft 23, a component supporting member 21 screwed to the shaft 23, and a projecting portion protruding from the component supporting member 21. The component support member 21 is provided with a gripping projection 24 for mounting a component and gripping a board (not shown). The component support member 21 has a rectangular outer peripheral horizontal section.

The movable part 2 is used to adjust the position of the camera 2 as an electronic device mounted on the substrate 5, and the part supporting member 21 and the shaft 23 are screwed together to form an upper case. By rotating the head 22 of the shaft post 23 from the surface of the body 11 with a driver, the non-rotatable component support member 21 sandwiched by the sandwiching ribs 4 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the shaft post 23,
The position of the substrate held by the holding protrusion 24, that is, the position of the camera mounted on the substrate is adjusted.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, a shaft post 23 can be inserted into the tip of the holding rib 4 as a spring locking portion provided on the holding rib 4 to lock the spring 2. It is similarly preferable that the insertion portion 51 is formed like the box-shaped lid 5 having the insertion portion 51. As shown in FIG. 3A, the movable part 2 is
The spring 3 that is inserted into the first hole 6 and suppresses the movement of the movable component 2 in the longitudinal direction is provided from the component support member 21 to the distal end side of the shaft column 23. The movable part 2 with respect to the upper housing 11
Since the outer peripheral horizontal cross section of the component support member 21 is formed in a square shape, the component support member 21 is sandwiched by the sandwiching ribs 4 provided on the upper housing 11. Further, the spring 3 is pressed in the direction of the upper housing 11 by the claw 5 or the box-shaped lid 5 provided on the holding rib 4, so that the movable component 2 and the spring 3 are attached to the upper housing 11. Is transported in a semi-assembled state separately from the lower housing 12, the movable component 2 and the spring 3 do not become unstable with respect to the upper housing 11. Naturally, it is not necessary to separately provide a temporary cover, and the number of parts and labor can be reduced.

Although the case 1 in which the holding ribs 4 are provided is described as the upper case 11, it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the names of the upper case and the lower case are interchanged.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a movable component for adjusting the position of an electronic device, which is disposed on a housing of an electronic device including a housing and a lower housing, Since it comprises a spring for suppressing the movement of the movable component in the longitudinal direction, a clamping rib provided on one of the housings for clamping the movable component, and a spring retaining portion provided on the clamping rib for retaining the spring. The spring is locked by the spring locking portion, so that transport in a semi-assembled state is possible without requiring a separate component such as a cover.
