- FPC 66 a long flexible printed wiring board
- a curved portion 66a that is curved in the main surface is provided at an intermediate portion so as to be able to follow.
- the curved portion 66a is a portion that is folded back between the first opening 40 and the second opening 54 overlapping each other, and the first opening around the support shaft 34. 40 and the second opening 54 have a radius of curvature substantially the same as the radius of curvature.
- the FPC 66 has a substantially U-shaped curved portion 66a through an overlapping portion 67 between the first opening 40 and the second opening 54. One end is drawn around the main body 2 through the second opening 54, and the other end is drawn toward the grip 4 through the first opening 40. You.
- the FPC 66 folded back in the overlap portion 67 follows the rotational movement of the pair of rotary plates 32, 33 with respect to the fixed plate 31, and follows the curved portion 66a in the overlap portion 67. Will be displaced.
- the angle at which the folded position of the FPC 66 shown in FIG. 15 is displaced is
- the range must be at least half the maximum angle (
- the angle range of the first opening 40 is set so that the grip portion 4 can be easily inserted through the connector 68 attached to the FPC 66 after the rotation hinge mechanism 20 is assembled.
- the angle range is approximately 90 °, which is the same as the angle range (
- a first guard member 69 for protecting the FPC 66 passes through the inside of the ring portion 46 of the outer peripheral ring plate 45 through the first opening 40, and is provided between the fixed plate 31 and the first rotating plate 32. It is placed in a state of being sandwiched.
- the angle range of the second opening 54 is 45 °, which is half the maximum angle (j8 mZ2) at which the grip 4 is rotated with respect to the main body 2, and at least a part of the first opening 54
- the overlap angle ⁇ for overlapping with 40 is 45 ° + a, which is obtained by adding the overlap angle ⁇ .
- a second guard member 70 for protecting the harness is arranged so as to be sandwiched between the pair of rotating plates 32 and 33.
- the first opening 40 and the second opening 54 are connected to one end 40a of the first opening 40 within an angular range in which the pair of rotating plates 32 and 33 are rotated with respect to the fixed plate 31.
- An overlap 67 is formed between the other end 54b of the second opening 54 or the other end 40b of the first opening 40 and one end 54a of the second opening 54. The parts are superimposed.
- the width of the turn of the harness 66 is made equal to that of the fixed plate 31 in the first rotation. Since it is not affected by the gap S formed between the rolling plate 32, the gap S can be narrowed to reduce the thickness of the mechanism itself.
- the overall size of the apparatus can be further reduced while maintaining the degree of freedom of the harness 66 routed between the main body 2 and the grip section 4. It is possible to plan. Further, it is possible to prevent the harness 66 from being caught, broken, cut or the like when the grip portion 4 is rotated with respect to the main body 2. In particular, when a double-sided flexible printed wiring board is used as the one-sided flexible board 66, the bending resistance is lower than that of a single-sided flexible printed wiring board due to an increase in the number of wires, which is very effective. Further, in the digital video camera 1, since the harness 66 can be routed after the rotation hinge mechanism 20 is assembled, manufacturing costs can be reduced.
- the fixing plate 31 is attached to the grip portion 4 side, and a pair of rotating plates 32, 33 are attached to the main body portion 2 side. That is, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the fixed plate 31 is attached to the main body 2 side and the pair of rotary plates 32 and 33 are attached to the nip portion 4 side.
- harness-free noness electrical wire
- the harness becomes harder than before. Very effective.
- the rotating hinge mechanism according to the present invention is not only an imaging device such as a digital video camera or a digital still camera, but also an electronic device in which the rotating portion is rotatably attached to the main body. Applicable to
