Description

SLIDING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING SLIDING DEVICE

The present invention relates to a slide device and an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a mobile, or an electronic notebook / small personal computer using the slide device.

For example, a conventional foldable mobile phone is provided with an operation unit on which the numeric keys and function keys are arranged on the upper surface side of the lower body, and a predetermined display is made by key operation of this operation unit. Is provided on the lower surface side (polymerization side) of the superposition part on the upper side, this main part and superposition part are connected via a hinge device, and the main body part and superposition part are folded in two From the folded superposition blockage state in which the operation unit is concealed by the superposition unit, the superposition unit is turned upside down and inverted by a hinge device so as to be switched to an open state in which the operation unit and the display unit are exposed.

Therefore, in the conventional electronic equipment that covers the operation part of the main body part with the overlapping and rotating superposition part, it can be folded and compactized, but the display part is also concealed in the superposition state where the operation part is concealed. In many cases, use in a compact state is inevitably limited.

In addition, when operating the operation unit, it is necessary to wake up a heavy overlapping unit provided with a display unit and rotate it in a reverse direction, which has a drawback that it is difficult to perform this opening / closing operation (especially an opening operation).

Therefore, if it is configured to open and close by sliding the overlapping part in the front-rear direction along the overlapping surface instead of opening and closing by rolling up and down, a display part can be provided on the upper side of the overlapping part, For example, when it is not used or when it is superposed when no key operation is required, in other words, the display part is placed on the upper side even in a compact state where the operation part is hidden by superimposing the superposition part with the display part on the main body part It is possible to visually recognize and function the display unit, and in this case, it is possible to display the operation by operating on a touch panel type, or the state where the operation unit is exposed from the compacted state When switching to, it can be done by sliding the overlapping part in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction along the overlapping surface. Easily performed, the use versatility and the equipment device, yet the opening and closing operation can be facilitated cellular phone, the electronic equipment such as mobile.

However, such a conventional slide opening and closing method is configured to open and close by simply moving in the overlapping surface direction (horizontal direction), so that the overlapping portion is always relative to the main body portion in both the slide overlapping position and the slide opening position. They are superposed in parallel, and the upper surface of the superposition part remains flat.

On the other hand, in the case of the above-described undulation rotation method, when the overlapped portion is turned upside down and turned into the open state, the opening turn beyond the predetermined turn is prevented by a stopper mechanism or the like so that the 180 ° turn does not occur. In many cases, the exposed surface and the inverted exposed surface are not flat in the rotationally open state, and are inclined to within a few degrees to 20 degrees.

That is, in particular, when a display part is provided on the reverse exposure surface (the reverse upper surface which is the concealed surface) of the overlapping part, the rising and tilting state is within a few degrees to 20 degrees at the rotation open position (use position). It is configured so that the display can be easily seen from the front.

On the other hand, with the conventional slide opening and closing method, it is not possible to provide such an angle simply by sliding in parallel with a flat surface, the use application is limited, it may be difficult to handle, especially when a display part is provided Is not easy to see because it does not get up and incline.

Therefore, the applicant can provide a tilt-up mechanism in the slide structure that realizes the slide opening / closing method, so that, for example, the slide is gradually angled or slides to a predetermined slide position, or at least the slide end slide opens. It is configured to automatically rise and tilt at the position (tilt up), and by simply sliding, it automatically rises slightly from the parallel and compact overlapping state at the slide open position, making it easy to use and expanding its usage In particular, when the display unit is provided on the upper surface, when sliding from the compacted overlapped closed position to the slide open position, the slide tip automatically rises slightly forward and tilts, making it very easy to see and very practical. Electricity using a revolutionary slide device We have developed a device (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-74411).

However, by simply curving the slide guide mechanism and regulating the slide direction, the overlapping portion slides along the curved slide guide mechanism, and the overlapping portion rises slightly at the end of the slide and is inclined. Since the curved slide guide mechanism is provided, the thickness is inevitably increased and obstructing the reduction in thickness, and when the overlapped portion is viewed from the side, the curved slide guide portion is visible and the appearance is poor and the design is often poor.

In addition, it is proposed to automatically raise the turn by a turning mechanism provided separately from the slide guide mechanism at the end of the slide so that it rises at the end of the slide, which is very innovative, but the structure is There is a risk that it becomes complicated and expensive.

Therefore, the present invention can reduce the manufacturing cost by making it possible to easily realize a mechanism for raising the display unit in an inclined state with respect to the main body unit with a slide structure that realizes a slide opening and closing method with an extremely simple configuration.

Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

A second member 2 (for example, a display unit for displaying a character, an image, or the like on the upper surface) with respect to the first member 1 (for example, an operation unit having an operation button such as a keyboard on the upper surface serving as the overlapping surface) ) In the direction of the polymerization surface. That is, the slide which exposes the upper surface of the 1st member 1 by sliding the 2nd member 2 back and forth from the superposition | polymerization obstruction | occlusion state where the upper surface of the 1st member 1 was concealed by the 2nd member 2 to superpose | polymerize, for example Leave open.

As the second member 2 slides with respect to the first member 1, at least one end of the support member 3 provided on the first member 1 or the second member 2 so as to be rotatable and slidable is slid. That is, the support member 3 slides in the direction of the overlapping surface relative to the first member 1 or the second member 2. For example, one end portion of the support member 3 can be swung up and down and slid freely on the first member 1. When the provided other end portion is provided on the second member 2 so as to be able to turn up and down, the support member 3 also slides in the overlapping direction relative to the first member 1 as the second member 2 slides. In addition, for example, when one end of the support member 3 is provided in the second member 2 so as to be able to swing up and down and slidable, and the other end is provided in the first member 1 so as to be able to turn up and down, the support member 3 is the second member. For example, when the both ends of the support member 3 are provided so as to be able to turn up and down and slide freely in the first member 1 and the second member 2, respectively, the support member 3 is slid relative to the member 2. Slides relative to both the first member 1 and the second member 2.

Furthermore, the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the support member 3 is pushed upward by the force of sliding the second member 2 in the overlapping surface direction. The second member 2 and the supporting member 3 are continuously provided. Since the connecting portion between the first member 1 and the support member 3 is provided so as to be able to swing up and down, the connecting portion between the first member 1 and the supporting member 3 serves as a fulcrum, The support member 3 rises and rotates while the connecting portion with the support member 3 is bent.

That is, for example, when the sliding support member 3 comes into contact with at least the slide stopper 4 provided on the first member 1 or the second member 2 and the slide stops, the second member 2 is moved in the overlapping surface direction. The sliding force pushes up the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the supporting member 3, and the supporting member 3 is raised by the connecting portion between the first member 1 and the supporting member 3 as a fulcrum. To do.

More specifically, for example, the position of the connecting portion between the first member 1 and the supporting member 3 is set to a position lower than the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the supporting member 3, and the second member 2. The second member 2 and the support member are configured so that the connection portion between the first member 1 and the support member 3 and the connection portion between the first member 1 and the support member 3 are not provided on the horizontal line with respect to the overlapping surface direction. The center of gravity (the first member 1 and the support) receiving this force in the direction of action of the force that slides the second member 2 acting on the connecting portion with the direction 3 in the direction of the overlapping surface, that is, in the horizontal direction with respect to the overlapping surface direction The supporting member 3 is rotated by the force of sliding the second member 2 acting on the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the supporting member 3 in the overlapping surface direction. . At this time, since the position of the connecting portion between the first member 1 and the support member 3 is set lower than the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the support member 3, the second member 2 and the support member 3. And the second member 2 acting on the connecting portion between the second member 2 and the support member 3 receives the force to slide in the overlapping surface direction. A connecting portion between the member 1 and the support member 3 serves as a fulcrum, and the support member 3 is raised and rotated around the fulcrum.

When the support member 3 is raised and rotated, the tip of the second member 2 is separated from the first member 1, and the support member 3 raises the second member 2 with respect to the upper surface of the first member 1 and inclines. It is an epoch-making slide device excellent in productivity and practicality that can easily realize tilt-up of the second member 2 with a very simple configuration in a supported state.

The second member 2 is linearly slid in the front-rear direction so that the second member 2 is displaced to expose the operation unit, and this operation unit can be used as a keyboard. The second member 2 is parallel to the first member 1 by a tilt-up mechanism described later. If the second member 2 is slid up to the slide open position at the end of the slide when it gradually rises from the predetermined slide position or slides to the slide open position at the end of the slide, Side becomes inclined state sat up for example 10 ° ~ 15 ° about relative sliding base end side, and configured to tilt up so that the display unit is visible.

The second member 2 is slurried with respect to the first member 1 When the first member 1 and the support member 3 are connected, the second member 2 and the support member 3 are pushed upward by the force of sliding the second member 2 in the direction of the overlapping surface.
