  • a gap G1 is formed between the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 that constitute the lower panel 20.
  • the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 are separate members that are independent of each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the gap G1 is formed continuously from the front end (end on the Y1 side) to the rear end (end on the Y2 side) of the lower panel 20.

  • the regions a and b are indicated by dotted lines.
  • the region a is provided in front of the center position cy (see the dashed line) in the front-rear direction (direction along the Y axis in FIG. 3) of the electronic device 10, and the region b is provided on the rear side of the center position cy.
  • the stands 40a and 40b can be attached and detached to these regions a and b.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the stands 40a and 40b support the electronic device 10 at positions shifted in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction in FIG. 5B). This makes it possible to stably install the electronic device 10 on an installation surface L2 (see the dashed line in FIG. 5B) such as a floor surface.
  • area a where the front stand 40a is provided is defined in the gap G1 between the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 that constitute the lower panel 20.

  • the underside 11D of the device body 11 has a front mounting portion 50a (hereinafter also simply referred to as mounting portion 50a) to which the front stand 40a can be attached, and a rear mounting portion 50b (hereinafter also simply referred to as mounting portion 50b) to which the rear stand 40b can be attached.
  • the mounting portions 50a and 50b have holes formed in the underside 11D. More specifically, as shown in Figure 5B, the front mounting portion 50a has holes 51 and 52. Also, the rear mounting portion 50b has holes 53 and 54.
  • the holes 51 to 54 are lined up in this order from one side (the front side, the left side in Figure 5B) to the other side (the rear side, the right side in Figure 5B) in the direction along the circuit board 15 (see Figure 5A).
  • the holes 51 to 54 are recesses in which the surface of the underside 11D of the device body 11 is recessed upward. Therefore, the members and electronic components housed in the device body 11 are not exposed through the holes 51 to 54.
  • the holes 51 and 52 (see FIG. 5B) of the front mounting portion 50a are provided in the area a (see FIG. 3) inside the gap G1 between the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 that constitute the lower panel 20 in a plan view.
  • the holes 53 and 54 (see FIG. 5B) of the rear mounting portion 50b are provided in the area b (see FIG. 3) inside the gap G1 in a plan view. Therefore, the holes 51 to 54 are exposed from the gap G1.
  • the stands 40a and 40b are arranged apart from each other along the gap G1 on the underside 11D of the device body 11. This makes it possible to reduce the air resistance caused by the stands 40a and 40b with respect to the gap G1 that functions as an air vent for the cooling fan 12 (see FIG. 4).
  • the curved bottom surface 10D of the electronic device 10 has a support portion 23 for supporting the electronic device 10, separate from the stands 40a, 40b.
  • the support portion 23 is formed on the left partial panel 21 of the left partial panel 21 and right partial panel 22 that make up the lower panel 20.
  • the support portion 23 is provided on a protrusion formed on the left partial panel 21. More specifically, the support portion 23 is the lower end of a protrusion formed on a corner 21E of the left partial panel 21 (the portion where the outer edge on the X2 side and the outer edge on the Y2 side are connected).
  • Plane L1 is a plane that includes circuit board 15 and runs along the surface of circuit board 15.
  • Plane L1 is a plane that is approximately parallel to installation surface L2 (see the two-dot chain lines in FIGS. 2 and 5B), such as the floor surface on which electronic device assembly 1 is installed.
  • the lower ends of the stands 40a, 40b and the support parts 23 come into contact with the installation surface L2 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2), such as the floor surface.
  • the installation surface L2 see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2
  • the convex parts on which the support parts 23 are provided protrude downward from the bottom surface 10D of the electronic device 10. This prevents parts of the bottom surface 10D of the electronic device 10 other than the convex parts from directly contacting the installation surface L2.
  • the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 that constitute the lower panel 20 may be formed from resin. Furthermore, the support portion 23 of the left partial panel 21 (for example, the entire protrusion on which the support portion 23 is provided) may be formed from a material that is softer than the resin used to form the panel, such as rubber or elastomer. This can prevent the support portion 23 from slipping against the installation surface L2, such as the floor surface.
  • the distance from plane L1 (the plane including the circuit board 15 shown in FIG. 5A) to the bottom end of the front stand 40a is substantially the same as the distance from plane L1 to the support portion 23.
  • the distance from plane L1 to the bottom end of the rear stand 40b is substantially the same as the distance from plane L1 to the support portion 23.
  • the support portion 23 is formed at a corner portion 21E of the left partial panel 21.
  • the width of the left partial panel 21 in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) along a plane L1 (see Fig. 2) including the circuit board 15 (see Fig. 5A) is greater than the width of the right partial panel 22 in the same direction.
  • the distance from the front stand 40a to the support portion 23 and the distance from the rear stand 40b to the support portion 23 in the left-right direction are greater than half the length of the electronic device assembly 1 in the left-right direction. This makes it possible to support the electronic device 10 more stably.
  • the gap G1 between the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 constituting the lower panel 20 extends in a direction oblique to the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the position of the front stand 40a attached to the front side of the electronic device 10 and the position of the rear stand 40b attached to the rear side are shifted in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) along the gap G1.
  • One of the stands 40a, 40b is located to the left of the other.
  • the front stand 40a is located to the right (X1 direction) of the rear stand 40b.
  • the rear stand 40b is located to the left (X2 direction) of the front stand 40a.
  • the stands 40a, 40b support the electronic device 10 at positions shifted in the left-right direction. This makes it possible to support the electronic device 10 more stably.
  • the front stand 40a and the rear stand 40b have the same shape. This reduces the manufacturing costs of the front stand 40a and the rear stand 40b compared to when the front stand 40a and the rear stand 40b have different shapes.
  • Figures 6A to 6F show stand members 40, which are front stand 40a and rear stand 40b.

  • the front stand 40a and the rear stand 40b face in opposite directions when attached to the electronic device 10.
  • the front stand 40a faces the right side shown in Figure 6D
  • the rear stand 40b faces the left side shown in Figure 6C.
  • the front stand 40a and the rear stand 40b are arranged symmetrically side by side.
  • each stand member 40 front stand 40a and rear stand 40b has two legs 41, 42 that are attached to the electronic device 10 in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction).

  • the stands 40a and 40b are attached to the electronic device 10 (more specifically, to the underside 11D of the device body 11).
  • the gap G1 between the left partial panel 21 and the right partial panel 22 constituting the lower panel 20 is provided on the opposite side (lower side) of the front side (upper side) shown in FIG. 3.
  • the gap G1 extends in a diagonal direction (first direction) relative to the left-right direction (X-axis direction) and the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction).
  • the legs 41, 42 formed on each stand member 40 are separated in the diagonal direction in which the gap G1 extends, as shown in FIG. 6E.
  • the legs 41, 42 of the stand member 40 have a thickness in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) that corresponds to the width of the gap G1.
  • the direction in which the legs 41, 42 are separated coincides with the direction in which the gap G1 extends, so that the legs 41, 42 of each stand member 40 can be inserted into the gap G1.
  • the legs 41, 42 are connected by a beam 43 that extends along the gap G1. This provides reinforcement to the legs 41, 42.

  • the legs 41, 42 of the stand member 40 have a common bottom end 45.
  • the bottom end 45 is the portion that comes into contact with the installation surface L2 (see FIG. 2, etc.) such as the floor surface, and is also referred to as the contact portion 45 below.
  • the entire stand member 40 may be formed from resin.
  • the contact portion 45 may be formed from a material that is softer than resin, such as rubber or elastomer. This ensures the strength of the stand member 40 and prevents the stands 40a, 40b from slipping on the installation surface L2.
  • leg 41 of stand member 40 is slightly curved and connects to contact portion 45 at the lower end.
  • a bent portion 46 bent toward contact portion 45 is formed between upper end 42U of leg 42 and contact portion 45.
  • leg 41 of stand member 40 is thicker in the diagonal direction along gap G1 (left-right direction in FIG. 6A) than leg 42. In this way, by providing two legs 41, 42 that connect to contact portion 45, and further increasing the thickness of leg 41 that extends from contact portion 45 without bending, the strength of stand member 40 can be ensured.
