Description

電子機器における外部コネクタ接続口のシール構造、及び電子機器、並びにシール方法Seal structure of external connector connection port in electronic device, electronic device, and sealing method
 本発明は、携帯情報端末や携帯ゲーム機等の主に携帯型の電子機器における外部コネクタ接続口のシール構造、および電子機器、ならびにシール方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a sealing structure of an external connector connection port, an electronic device, and a sealing method mainly in a portable electronic device such as a portable information terminal and a portable game machine.
 例えば、携帯情報端末等の携帯型の電子機器には、外部の装置(例えば、ヘッドフォン等)と接続するための外部接続端子部が設けられている。外部接続端子部は、電子機器の筐体の側面などに設けられており、通常は、外部コネクタプラグを挿入することのできる外部コネクタ接続口と、外部コネクタ接続口の内部に設けられている。外部接続端子部は、外部コネクタ接続口に外部コネクタプラグが挿入されたときに外部コネクタプラグ側の端子と接続される外部接続端子と、外部コネクタ接続口を不使用時に閉止し使用時に開放する保護カバーと、外部コネクタ接続口を保護カバーで閉じた際に外部コネクタ接続口と保護カバーとの間をシールするシール部材(パッキンやガスケットと呼ばれるもの)と、を備えている。 For example, a portable electronic device such as a portable information terminal is provided with an external connection terminal portion for connecting to an external device (for example, headphones). The external connection terminal portion is provided on a side surface of the casing of the electronic device, and is normally provided in an external connector connection port into which an external connector plug can be inserted and an external connector connection port. The external connection terminal part is an external connection terminal that is connected to the terminal on the external connector plug side when an external connector plug is inserted into the external connector connection port, and the external connector connection port is closed when not in use and protected when used A cover and a sealing member (what is called a packing or a gasket) that seals between the external connector connection port and the protective cover when the external connector connection port is closed with a protective cover are provided.
 そして、外部接続端子部は、使用時には保護カバーを開いて、外部コネクタ接続口(差し込み口)に外部コネクタプラグを差し込むことにより、外部接続端子に外部コネクタプラグ側の端子を接続することができる。一方、外部コネクタプラグが抜かれた不使用時には、外部コネクタ接続口が開放されたままとなるので、保護カバーで外部コネクタ接続口を塞ぐことにより、塵埃や水などの侵入から外部接続端子を保護することができるようになっている。 And the external connection terminal part can connect the terminal on the external connector plug side to the external connection terminal by opening the protective cover and inserting the external connector plug into the external connector connection port (insertion port). On the other hand, the external connector connection port remains open when the external connector plug is not used, so the external connection terminal is protected from intrusion of dust and water by closing the external connector connection port with a protective cover. Be able to.
 図6は従来の携帯情報端末の保護カバー120の構成を示している。図7は保護カバー120を外して筐体110の側面に設けられた外部コネクタ接続口111に外部コネクタプラグ130を差し込んでいる状態を示している。そして、使用者が保護カバー120で外部コネクタ接続口111を閉止することができる。しかし、微細な隙間から水分などが侵入する可能性があるので、通常は、保護カバー120の内面側にパッキン(シール部材)115が接着等により取り付けられている。そして使用者が、保護カバー120で外部コネクタ接続口111を閉止することによって、パッキン115が外部コネクタ接続口111の周囲に設けられた外装カバーに密着する。これにより、シール性を確保することができる。 FIG. 6 shows a configuration of a protective cover 120 of a conventional portable information terminal. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the protective cover 120 is removed and the external connector plug 130 is inserted into the external connector connection port 111 provided on the side surface of the housing 110. Then, the user can close the external connector connection port 111 with the protective cover 120. However, since moisture or the like may enter from a minute gap, the packing (seal member) 115 is usually attached to the inner surface side of the protective cover 120 by adhesion or the like. Then, when the user closes the external connector connection port 111 with the protective cover 120, the packing 115 is brought into close contact with the outer cover provided around the external connector connection port 111. Thereby, sealing performance can be secured.
 ところで、別部品として製作したパッキン115を保護カバー120に接着等によって取り付ける場合、部品点数が増えたり組立手間が増えたりする問題がある。また、保護カバー120を開いて外部コネクタプラグ130を外部コネクタ接続口111に差し込んだ状態においてはシール性を確保することができないという問題もある。 By the way, when the packing 115 manufactured as a separate part is attached to the protective cover 120 by bonding or the like, there are problems that the number of parts increases and the assembly labor is increased. Further, there is a problem that the sealing performance cannot be secured in a state where the protective cover 120 is opened and the external connector plug 130 is inserted into the external connector connection port 111.
 この点に関連して、特許文献1や特許文献2には、パッキンを筐体やカバーにインサート成形や二色成形により一体に設ける技術が開示されている。パッキンを筐体やカバーに一体に成形する場合、部品点数が増えたり組立手間が増えたりする問題を解消することができる。 In this regard, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a technique in which a packing is integrally provided on a housing or a cover by insert molding or two-color molding. When the packing is formed integrally with the housing or the cover, it is possible to solve the problem that the number of parts increases and the assembly labor increases.
 また、特許文献3には、メス側コネクタの嵌合穴にシール部材(軟質材)を設けておき、メス側コネクタの嵌合穴にオス側コネクタを嵌合した際に、メス側コネクタとオス側コネクタとの間で圧縮されるシール部材により、メス側コネクタとオス側コネクタとの間の隙間をシールする技術が開示されている。 Further, in Patent Document 3, when a sealing member (soft material) is provided in the fitting hole of the female connector, and the male connector is fitted into the fitting hole of the female connector, the female connector and the male connector are fitted. A technique is disclosed in which a gap between a female connector and a male connector is sealed by a seal member that is compressed with the side connector.

 しかしながら、特許文献1~3の技術においては、外部の装置の使用時に外部コネクタを外部コネクタ接続口に差し込む場合と、外部の装置の不使用時に保護カバーで外部コネクタ接続口を閉じる場合の両方の場合に共にシール性を確保する点については開示されていないために、単純に特許文献1~3に開示された技術を携帯情報端末等の電子機器の外部接続端子部に応用しようとしても、実使用上のシール性を確保することができないという問題があった。 However, in the techniques of Patent Documents 1 to 3, both when the external connector is inserted into the external connector connection port when the external device is used and when the external connector connection port is closed with the protective cover when the external device is not used. In this case, since the point of securing the sealability is not disclosed, the technology disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 is simply applied to the external connection terminal portion of an electronic device such as a portable information terminal. There was a problem that the sealing property in use could not be secured.
 本発明は、上記事情を考慮し、外部の装置の使用時に外部コネクタを外部コネクタ接続口に差し込む場合と、外部の装置の不使用時に保護カバーで外部コネクタ接続口を閉じる場合の両方の場合に共にシール性を確保することができ、しかも、部品点数が増えたり組立手間が増えたりする問題を解消することのできる、電子機器における外部コネクタ接続口のシール構造、および電子機器、ならびにシール方法を提供することを目的とする。 In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention is applicable to both the case where the external connector is inserted into the external connector connection port when the external device is used and the case where the external connector connection port is closed with the protective cover when the external device is not used.

Here, the case where the electronic device D is a portable information terminal is shown as an example of the electronic device D according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable information terminal has a housing 10 and a protective cover 20. An external connector connection port 13 into which an external connector plug 30 (external connector: see FIG. 3) can be inserted is provided on the outer side surface of the housing 10. The external connector connection port 13 is open to the protective cover mounting recess 11 provided on the outer surface of the housing 10, and the external connector connection port 13 has an external connector plug 30 with an external connector plug 30. External connection terminals (not shown) that are connected to terminals (not shown) on the external connector plug 30 side when the housing 31 is inserted are provided.
 保護カバー20は、外面カバー材21の内面に内面材22を一体成形したもので、内面材22に延設したアーム23によって、筐体10の保護カバー装着凹部11に設けたフック12に脱落しないように保持されている。そして、保護カバー20は、アーム23の可撓性やアーム23とフック12の遊びを利用して、保護カバー装着凹部11に対して外から装着される。そして、保護カバーは、装着時(外部コネクタ接続口13の不使用時)に外部コネクタ接続口13を閉止することができる。また、保護カバー20は、保護カバー装着凹部11から取り外すことにより、外部コネクタ接続口13を開放する。これにより、外部コネクタ接続口13が、使用可能な状態(外部コネクタ接続口13に対して外部コネクタ30を挿入できる状態)となる。 The protective cover 20 is formed by integrally molding the inner surface material 22 on the inner surface of the outer surface cover material 21, and does not fall off to the hook 12 provided in the protective cover mounting recess 11 of the housing 10 by the arm 23 extending to the inner surface material 22. So that it is held. The protective cover 20 is mounted from the outside to the protective cover mounting recess 11 using the flexibility of the arm 23 and the play of the arm 23 and the hook 12. The protective cover can close the external connector connection port 13 when attached (when the external connector connection port 13 is not used). Moreover, the protective cover 20 opens the external connector connection port 13 by being removed from the protective cover mounting recess 11. Thereby, the external connector connection port 13 becomes a usable state (a state in which the external connector 30 can be inserted into the external connector connection port 13).
 図2に示すように、保護カバー20の内面材22には、保護カバー20で外部コネクタ接続口13を閉止したとき(保護カバー装着凹部11に装着したとき)、外部コネクタ接続口13の中に挿入される角筒状のリブ24が突設されている。リブ24の先端外周縁には、後述するシール部材16の内周に対する挿入性を良くするための案内斜面24cが設けられている。また、保護カバー20の内面には、筐体10の保護カバー装着凹部11に保護カバー20を装着したときに筐体10側の係合部(図示せず)とロックする係合部25が突設されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, when the external connector connection port 13 is closed by the protective cover 20 (when mounted in the protective cover mounting recess 11), the inner surface material 22 of the protective cover 20 A rectangular tube-like rib 24 to be inserted is projected. A guide slope 24 c is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the tip of the rib 24 to improve the insertability with respect to the inner periphery of the seal member 16 described later. Further, on the inner surface of the protective cover 20, an engaging portion 25 that locks with an engaging portion (not shown) on the housing 10 side when the protective cover 20 is mounted in the protective cover mounting recess 11 of the housing 10 protrudes. It is installed.
 また、図1に示すように、外部コネクタ接続口13の開口縁部には外装カバー14が設けられ、この外装カバー14には切り欠き15が形成されている。そして、この切り欠き15には、軟質の樹脂またはゴム(例えば、シリコン樹脂)よりなる環状のシール部材16が、インサート成形または二色成形により筐体10と一体に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, an exterior cover 14 is provided at the opening edge of the external connector connection port 13, and a cutout 15 is formed in the exterior cover 14. An annular seal member 16 made of soft resin or rubber (for example, silicon resin) is integrally formed with the casing 10 in the notch 15 by insert molding or two-color molding.
 このシール部材16は、図3に示すように、外部コネクタ30が外部コネクタ接続口13に挿入された際に外部コネクタ30のハウジング31の外周によって外部コネクタ30の挿入方向Yと直交する外方向に押圧されることで外部コネクタ接続口13と外部コネクタ30との間をシールし、且つ、図4および図5に示すように、保護カバー20が外部コネクタ接続口13を閉止する位置に装着された際にリブ24の外周によってリブ24の挿入方向Yと直交する外方向に押圧されることで外部コネクタ接続口13と保護カバー20との間をシールする役目を果たすものである。 As shown in FIG. 3, the seal member 16 is arranged in an outward direction perpendicular to the insertion direction Y of the external connector 30 by the outer periphery of the housing 31 of the external connector 30 when the external connector 30 is inserted into the external connector connection port 13. When pressed, the space between the external connector connection port 13 and the external connector 30 is sealed, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the protective cover 20 is mounted at a position to close the external connector connection port 13. In this case, the outer periphery of the rib 24 is pressed outward in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction Y of the rib 24 to serve as a seal between the external connector connection port 13 and the protective cover 20.
 次に作用を説明する。
 外部コネクタ接続口13に外部コネクタプラグ30を差し込む場合は、まず、図1に示すように、保護カバー20を開き、その状態で外部コネクタプラグ30を、開放した外部コネクタ接続口13に差し込む。こうすることにより、外部コネクタプラグ30側の端子を外部コネクタ接続口13の内部に設けられた外部接続端子に接続することができる。また、この際、外部コネクタプラグ30のハウジング31の外周が環状のシール部材16を外方向に押圧するので、外部コネクタプラグ30と外部コネクタ接続口13との間のシール性を確保することができる。
Next, the operation will be described.
When inserting the external connector plug 30 into the external connector connection port 13, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the protective cover 20 is opened, and in this state, the external connector plug 30 is inserted into the opened external connector connection port 13. By doing so, the terminal on the external connector plug 30 side can be connected to the external connection terminal provided inside the external connector connection port 13. At this time, since the outer periphery of the housing 31 of the external connector plug 30 presses the annular seal member 16 outward, the sealing performance between the external connector plug 30 and the external connector connection port 13 can be ensured. .
 また、この状態において、外部コネクタプラグ30の外周に当接する環状のシール部材16がクッションの役目を果たすことになるので、落下による外部コネクタプラグ30への衝撃の緩和を図ることができ、耐衝撃性の向上が図れる。 Further, in this state, the annular seal member 16 that contacts the outer periphery of the external connector plug 30 serves as a cushion, so that the impact on the external connector plug 30 due to dropping can be reduced, and the impact resistance is improved. Can improve the performance.
 一方、外部コネクタ接続口13を使用しない場合は、外部コネクタプラグ30を外部コネクタ接続口13から抜き取り、保護カバー20を保護カバー装着凹部11に装着して、外部コネクタ接続口13を閉止する。この際、保護カバー20のリブ24の外周が環状のシール部材16を外方向に押圧するので、保護カバー20と外部コネクタ接続口13との間のシール性を確保することができる。 On the other hand, when the external connector connection port 13 is not used, the external connector plug 30 is removed from the external connector connection port 13, the protective cover 20 is mounted in the protective cover mounting recess 11, and the external connector connection port 13 is closed. At this time, since the outer periphery of the rib 24 of the protective cover 20 presses the annular seal member 16 outward, the sealing performance between the protective cover 20 and the external connector connection port 13 can be ensured.
 このように、外部コネクタプラグ30を外部コネクタ接続口13に挿入したときと、保護カバー20で外部コネクタ接続口13を閉止したときとの両方の場合に、共通のシール部材16によってシール性を確保することができる。 Thus, the sealing performance is ensured by the common seal member 16 both when the external connector plug 30 is inserted into the external connector connection port 13 and when the external connector connection port 13 is closed by the protective cover 20. can do.
 また、シール性を発揮させるために、外部コネクタプラグ30の外周と保護カバー20のリブ24の外周とで、外部コネクタ接続口13に設けてある環状のシール部材16を、外部コネクタプラグ30やリブ24の挿入方向Yと直交する外方向に押圧している。これにより、シール部材16を挿入方向Yに押圧することでシール性を発揮させる場合と比較すると、シール部材16からの反力によって保護カバー20や外部コネクタプラグ30が、装着しにくくなる問題や外れやすくなる問題が生じにくい。従って、いったん外部コネクタ接続口13に外部コネクタプラグ30やリブ24を挿入することによって、確実に安定したシール効果を発揮させることができるし、外部コネクタプラグ30の挿入不良や保護カバー20の装着不良を起こさないようにすることができる。 Further, in order to exert a sealing property, the annular seal member 16 provided in the external connector connection port 13 between the outer periphery of the external connector plug 30 and the outer periphery of the rib 24 of the protective cover 20 is connected to the external connector plug 30 or the rib. 24 is pressed outward in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction Y. As a result, compared to the case where the sealing member 16 is pressed in the insertion direction Y to exhibit sealing performance, the protective cover 20 and the external connector plug 30 are difficult to attach due to the reaction force from the sealing member 16 and the disconnection. Difficult problems occur. Therefore, once the external connector plug 30 and the rib 24 are inserted into the external connector connection port 13, a stable sealing effect can be surely exhibited, and the insertion failure of the external connector plug 30 and the mounting failure of the protective cover 20 can be achieved. Can be avoided.
 また、外部コネクタ接続口13の開口周縁に設けた切り欠き15にシール部材16を一体成形しているので、外部コネクタプラグ30の脱着や保護カバー20の脱着に伴ってシール部材16が剥がれたりずれたりすることを防止することができ、安定したシール性能を維持することができる。 Further, since the seal member 16 is integrally formed in the notch 15 provided at the opening peripheral edge of the external connector connection port 13, the seal member 16 is peeled off or displaced as the external connector plug 30 is detached or the protective cover 20 is detached. Can be prevented, and stable sealing performance can be maintained.
 また、環状のシール部材16を筐体10の外部コネクタ接続口13にインサート成形や二色成形により一体に形成しているので、図6のように保護カバー20に別部品としてのシール部材を接着等により取り付ける場合と違い、部品点数が増えたり組立手間が増えたりすることなく、簡単な構成で容易にシール機能を持たせることができる。 Further, since the annular seal member 16 is formed integrally with the external connector connection port 13 of the housing 10 by insert molding or two-color molding, the seal member as a separate part is bonded to the protective cover 20 as shown in FIG. Unlike the case where it is attached by, for example, it is possible to easily provide a sealing function with a simple configuration without increasing the number of parts and increasing the labor of assembly.
 尚、外部装置の使用時と不使用時の両方の場合に外部コネクタ接続口13のシール性を確保するという本願の課題を解決するために必須の構成は、外部コネクタ接続口13、それに一体に成形されたシール部材16、保護カバー20、その内面に突設されたリブ24の4つであって、それ以外は任意の構成である。 In addition, in order to solve the subject of this application of ensuring the sealing performance of the external connector connection port 13 both when the external device is used and when not used, the external connector connection port 13 is integrated with the external connector connection port 13. There are four seal members 16, a protective cover 20, and ribs 24 projecting from the inner surface of the seal member 16.
 なお、本発明は、上述した携帯情報端末としての携帯電話機やPHS(Personal Handyphone System)、PDA(Personal Data Assistance,Personal Digital Assistants:個人向け携帯型情報通信機器)の他の装置、例えば、ゲーム機やタブレットPC、あるいはノートPCにも適用することができる。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described mobile phone as a mobile information terminal, PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Data Assistant, Personal Digital Assistants), for example, a game machine. It can also be applied to tablet PCs or notebook PCs.
 本発明に係わるシール方法によれば、外部の装置の使用時に外部コネクタを外部コネクタ接続口に差し込む場合と、外部の装置の不使用時に保護カバーで外部コネクタ接続口を閉じる場合の両方の場合に共にシール性を確保することができる。 According to the sealing method of the present invention, both when the external connector is inserted into the external connector connection port when the external device is used and when the external connector connection port is closed with the protective cover when the external device is not used. Both can secure sealing performance.
