Detailed ways

The attachment structure of the connection jack portion of the present invention will be described below taking a mobile phone as an example, but the present invention can be applied to various electronic equipment such as a structure in which a plug of a power adapter is connected to the electronic equipment.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which a cover 10 for rotating and protruding the connection jack is provided at the corner of the main body case 1 of the cellular phone.

In addition, as will be described later, the mounting position of the connection socket portion of the present invention can also be provided on the side surface of the plane, and the effect of setting it at the corner is the same.

FIG. 1 shows the rotational opening and closing movement of the cover 10, FIG. 2 shows a structural example of parts, FIG. 3 shows an internal perspective view, and FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the cover 10 integrally accommodates the insertion hole 20 inside, and the plug insertion opening 13 provided on the cover 10 coincides with the connection opening 21 of the insertion hole 20 .

In this embodiment, the contacts having the contact portion 22 contacting the plug provided inside the socket portion 20 are electrically connected to a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 23 , thereby being electrically connected to the main body side board of the electronic device.

In this way, by using the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 23 , the socket portion 20 is allowed to be displaced relative to the main body side board as the cover 10 is rotated to open and close.

Unitization is achieved by assembling the cover body 10 in which the insertion hole portion 20 is accommodated on the base portion 30 for attachment to the main body case.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the unitized cover-body-integrated connection socket part fits and fixes the locking convex part 33 provided on the base part 30 in the cross-sectional U-shaped mounting fit provided on the inner side of the main body housing 1. Part 1d on.

In addition, the method of attaching to the main body case is not limited to this.

At this time, the cover body 10 is rotated to the outside from the opening 1c of the main body case 1 to open and close. At the corners, the design has a sense of unity with the main body case.

Next, the rotation mechanism of the cover body 10 will be described.

As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, there is a pair of rotating shafts 11 extending rearwardly from the side surfaces on both sides at the rear end side of the cover body 10, and the recesses at the rear part of the base part 30 which is substantially U-shaped in plan view are provided. The rotary shaft 11 is supported by a substantially U-shaped rotary bearing 31 in a side view.

On the side surfaces of both sides of the cover body 10, there are guide pins 12 protruding halfway from the front end side compared with the above-mentioned rotating shaft 11. The formed guide groove 32 slides.

As shown in FIG. 1, regarding this guide groove 32, it is the following example: an inclined surface D inclined toward the front end side of the cover body 10 from the lower end to the upper end of the rib 32 is provided, so that the front end side of the cover body 10 follows the The front end side of the cover 10 rotates to the outside of the main body case 1 and moves forward.

Thus, in the state of FIG. 1(a) in which the cover body 10 is accommodated in the main body casing 1, the rotating shaft 11 is positioned at the rear side of the rotary bearing 31, and as shown in FIG. 1(b), the cover body 10 The front end of the shaft rotates outward and protrudes, and the shaft center O of the rotation shaft 11 moves forward.

The value of its movement amount d is d ₁ -d ₀ =d.

Therefore, the width dimension of the concave portion in the front-rear direction of the rotary bearing 31 is long in the lateral direction so as to be able to allow the movement amount d of the rotary shaft 11 .

The effect of the forward movement of the rotating shaft 11 as the front end side of the cover (receptacle portion) rotates to the outside of the main body case 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 .

When the rear end side of the cover body 10 is positioned at the side surface (flat surface) 1a of the main body casing 1, and the other front end side is positioned in the middle of the R surface 1b of the corner R portion of the main body casing 1, the cover body 10 (insert hole) When the portion 20) changes from the accommodated state in FIG. 5(a) to the rotated and protruded state shown in FIG. 5(b), the center O of the rotating shaft moves in the direction of the arrow S by a dimension d.

In this embodiment, it is an example in which the elastic member 40 made of a leaf spring can be respectively maintained in the accommodated state ( FIG. 5( a )) and the rotated and protruded state ( FIG. 5( b )) of the cover body 10 . Installed on the cover body 10 side, the rear convex portion 40a of the elastic member 40 is elastically locked to the upper end 34a (accommodated state) and the lower concave portion 34b (protruded state) of the locking rib 34 provided on the base portion 30 side.

Fig. 5(d) shows the situation that the cover body 10 does not move forward, compare Fig. 5(d) and Fig. 5(c).

When the plug 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 20 attached to the cover 10, the plug 2 has a plug 2a at the front end and an insulating cover 2b at the rear thereof.

Therefore, in Fig. 5(c) and Fig. 5(d), if the rotation angle of the cover body 10 is the same, in terms of the gap between the front end of the cover body 10 and the main body casing 1b, it is different from that in Fig. 5(d) Compared with the gap _a1 , the gap a in Fig. 5(c) in which the cover body 10 moves in the direction of the front S by a dimension d is smaller, so the appearance is beautiful.

Moreover, in the state of FIG.5(d), the insulation covering part 2b of the plug 2 interferes with the front-end|tip part b of the main body case 1b.

Therefore, by moving the cover 10 forward, the rotation angle at the time of inserting the plug 2 can be reduced compared to the case of FIG. 5( d ).

FIG. 6 shows an example in which the cover body 10 is provided on the planar side surface of the main body case 1 .

Even in this case, by moving the cover 10 shown in FIG. 6(c) forward by a dimension d in the direction of the arrow S, compared with the gap _a1 shown in FIG. 6(d) without movement, the The gap a between the body shells can be reduced by dimension d.

FIG. 8 shows an example in which a cam mechanism is used as the forward moving mechanism of the rotating shaft 11 of the cover body 10 .

It is the following example: the cam 14 protruding in a substantially semicircular shape is connected to the rear on the rotating shaft 11, and an inclined sliding surface (inclined portion) inclined downward and inclined toward the front end side of the cover is provided on the base portion 30 or the main body casing 1 side. ) 1e.

Thus, when the front end of the cover body 10 is rotated outward by a predetermined angle to protrude, the center O of the rotating shaft 11 moves forward by a dimension d.
