  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  With reference to FIG. 1, an external configuration of a portable printer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the lower left direction in FIG. 1 is front, the upper right direction is rear, the upper left direction is left, and the lower right direction is right.

  The portable printer 1 prints print data received from an external device 2 (see FIG. 3 described later) such as a PC terminal or a mobile phone via a wired communication or a wireless communication on a printing paper S. The portable printer 1 can be driven by using a rechargeable battery 10 (see FIG. 2 and the like described later) as a power source, and can be carried and used in various places.

  The portable printer 1 is provided with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 100 that is made of a resin material and that forms the outer shell of the apparatus. The housing 100 includes a top cover 101 that constitutes the upper part of the outer shell of the apparatus, an under cover 102 that constitutes the lower part of the outer shell of the apparatus, and a cover member 103 that can be opened and closed on the upper front side of the top cover 101. At the time of printing, the printing paper S is inserted into the insertion port 104 formed between the top cover 101 and the cover member 103. The inserted printing paper S is guided to a pressure contact portion P (see FIG. 2) between a platen roller 111 and a thermal line head 112, which will be described later, by a guide member 120 provided below the insertion port 104, and after printing is completed. It is discharged from a discharge port 107 formed between the cover member 103 and the under cover 102.

  The internal structure of the portable printer 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  A platen roller 111 and a thermal line head 112 are provided in the housing 100 of the portable printer 1. The platen roller 111 is rotatably supported by a pair of side chassis members 130L and 130R (see FIG. 9 and the like which will be described later) provided inside the housing 101, and is driven by the drive motor 11 (see FIG. 3 and the like which will be described later). The printing paper S is conveyed by being driven to rotate. The thermal line head 112 is provided on a heat radiating plate 114 provided with a shaft member 113 at the rear end, and the heat radiating plate 114 can be rotated around the shaft member 113 by the side chassis members 130L and 130R. It is supported. The main chassis member 150 provided on the inner surface of the under cover 102 is provided with a plurality of coil springs 115 that urge the heat sink 114 that supports the thermal line head 112 toward the platen roller 111. . As a result, the thermal line head 112 can be brought into pressure contact with the platen roller 111, contacts the platen roller 111 with a predetermined pressure during printing, and performs desired printing on the printing paper S inserted therebetween.

  During normal printing, by inserting the printing paper S into the insertion port 104 with the cover member 103 closed, the printing paper S is conveyed by the platen roller 111 while being guided by the guide member 120, and the thermal printing is performed. The line head 112 performs desired printing. When a paper jam or the like occurs, the platen roller 111 is released from the thermal line head 112 by opening the cover member 103, and the paper can be easily pulled out.

  On the rear side of the housing 100, a battery storage chamber 105 that houses the substantially rod-shaped rechargeable battery 10 is provided. A battery chamber cover 170 is detachably provided in the battery storage chamber 105. In a state where the battery chamber cover 170 is removed, the battery storage chamber 105 opens in the rear portion of the housing 100 (see FIG. 22 described later).

  The functional configuration of the portable printer 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The portable printer 1 has a CPU 12. The CPU 12 performs signal processing according to a program stored in advance in the ROM 14 while using the temporary storage function of the SDRAM 13, thereby controlling the entire portable printer 1.

  The CPU 12 performs drive control of the power supply circuit 15 that performs power on / off processing of the portable printer 1, the motor drive circuit 16 that performs drive control of the drive motor 11 that drives the platen roller 111, and the thermal line head 112. It is connected to the thermal head control circuit 17.

  The CPU 12 is connected to a paper detection sensor 18, a feed key 40 for performing a paper feed operation, and a power key 30 for performing a power on / off operation. Based on the detection result of the paper detection sensor 18, the CPU 12 detects whether the printing paper S is inserted into the insertion port 104. Further, when the power key 30 or the feed key 40 is depressed, the CPU 12 executes a process corresponding to the depressed key. That is, when the feed key 40 is depressed, the CPU 12 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 16, drives the drive motor 11 to rotate the platen roller 111, and feeds the printing paper S by a predetermined amount. I do. When the power key 30 is depressed while the portable printer 1 is in the power-off state, the CPU 12 outputs a control signal to the power circuit 15 to perform power-on processing, and when the power key 30 is depressed in the power-on state. Then, a control signal is output to the power supply circuit 15 to perform power-off processing.

  For example, the feed key 40 feeds paper in order to start printing from an intermediate position in the conveyance direction of the printing paper S, or uses a printing paper S whose conveyance direction length is longer than a predetermined length. This operation is performed when the paper is discharged after printing is completed.

  The CPU 12 is connected to the USB interface drive circuit 21, the wireless communication unit 22, and the infrared communication unit 23. The USB interface drive circuit 21 controls communication performed with the external device 2 via a USB cable (not shown) connected to the USB terminal 24 (see FIG. 1). The wireless communication unit 22 controls wireless communication using radio waves other than infrared rays performed with the external device 2. The infrared communication unit 23 controls infrared communication performed with the external device 2.

  Switching of the communication standard between the wireless communication and the infrared communication is performed as follows. That is, when the power key 30 is pressed while the feed key 40 is pressed in the power-off state, the CPU 12 executes a power-on process and switches communication standards. Therefore, when the operation is performed when the communication standard is wireless communication, the operation is switched to infrared communication. When the operation is performed when the communication standard is infrared communication, the operation is switched to wireless communication.

  In such a configuration, when printing with the portable printer 1, the operator inputs print data to be printed on the printing paper S in the external device 2 such as a PC terminal or a mobile phone, and also issues a print start instruction. Make input. As a result, print data is transmitted from the external device 2 to the portable printer 1 via the USB cable, wireless communication, or infrared communication, and the portable printer 1 performs printing based on the print data.

  In the portable printer 1 having the basic configuration as described above, the power key 30 and the feed key 40 have different pressing forces required for operation. Next, the details will be described.

  The configuration of the power key 30 and the feed key 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1 described above, in the portable printer 1, the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are concentrated on the key operation unit 106 provided on the upper left side of the top cover 101 and are adjacent to each other. Are arranged. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the keys 30, 40 are arranged from the upper side to the lower side, key panels 31, 41, spacers 32, 42, grounded GND electrodes 33, 43, and keys connected to the CPU 12. Electrodes 34 and 44, substrates 35 and 45 made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., anti-static layers 36 and 46 made of silver for anti-static measures, and protective films 37 and 47 are laminated in this order. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the GND electrodes 33 and 43 are integrally formed on the substrates 35 and 45 so as to surround the key electrodes 34 and 44. The key electrodes 34 and 44 are connected to the CPU 12 by wirings 38 and 48 patterned on the substrates 35 and 45, respectively.

  Inside the key panels 31 and 41, a metal metal dome having bulging portions 39a and 49a that swell in a spherical shape toward the key panel 31 and 41 in the space formed by the spacers 32 and 42. Members 39 and 49 are provided. These metal dome members 39 and 49 apply a reaction force to the pressing force of the keys 30 and 40 by utilizing the warping of the bulging portions 39a and 49a. Thereby, when the operator depresses the keys 30 and 40, a click feeling is obtained, and a good operation feeling is obtained. The metal dome members 39 and 49 also serve as contact points for connecting the key electrodes 34 and 44 and the GND electrodes 33 and 43 when the keys 30 and 40 are pushed down.

  At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the bulging amount h <b> 1 of the bulging portion 39 a of the metal dome member 39 is configured to be larger than the bulging amount h <b> 2 of the bulging portion 49 a of the metal dome member 49. ing. Thereby, since the metal dome member 39 gives a larger reaction force than the metal dome member 49, a larger pressing force is required to operate the power key 30 than when the feed key 40 is operated. .

  The effect obtained by the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the portable printer 1, the keys 30 and 40 themselves are downsized in order to reduce the size of the entire device, and the keys 30 and 40 are operated as described above in order to improve space efficiency. The unit 106 is centrally arranged at one place. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the feed key 40 is depressed, the operator's finger F may accidentally touch the adjacent power key 30. At this time, as described above, the operation of the power key 30 requires a larger pressing force than the feed key 40, and the power key 30 is difficult to be pressed down, so that erroneous operation of the power key 30 can be suppressed. Yes.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the operator depresses the power key 30, a greater force is required as compared with the feed key 40. Need to push down. For this reason, the possibility of touching the adjacent feed key 40 is reduced. In this way, erroneous operation between the power key 30 and the feed key 40 arranged adjacent to each other can be prevented.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the control contents related to the operation of the power key 30 and the feed key 40 executed by the CPU 12 in the power-on state of the portable printer 1 will be described.

  In step S10, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the feed key 40 has been pressed. If the feed key 40 is not depressed, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S20. In step S20, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the power key 30 has been pressed. If the power key 30 has not been depressed, the determination is not satisfied and the routine returns to step S10.

  If the feed key 40 is depressed in step S10, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to step S30. In step S <b> 30, the CPU 12 determines whether the power key 30 is pressed simultaneously with the feed key 40. If the power key 30 is not depressed at the same time, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S40, where the CPU 12 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 16 to drive the drive motor 11 and rotate the platen roller 111. Then, the above-described feed process for conveying the printing paper S by a predetermined amount is executed. Then, the process returns to step S10.

  On the other hand, if the power key 30 is depressed at the same time in step S30, the determination is satisfied and the process proceeds to step S50, where the CPU 12 outputs a control signal to the power circuit 15 and turns off the power of the portable printer 1. The power-off process is executed. Even when the power key 30 is depressed in step S20, the CPU 12 determines that the determination is satisfied, moves to step S50, and similarly executes the power-off process. And this flowchart is complete | finished.

  By the above control, step S10 and step S20 are repeated while the operator does not operate either the power key 30 or the feed key 40. At this time, if the power key 30 is operated alone, the determination in step S20 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S50, and the power-off process is executed. On the other hand, when the feed key 40 is operated alone, the determination at Step S10 is satisfied, and the determination at Step S30 is not satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S40, where the feed process is executed.

  If the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are operated at the same time, both the determinations in step S10 and step S30 are satisfied and the process proceeds to step S50, and the power-off process is performed without performing the feed process. . As described above, the processing is executed with priority given to the power key 30 in the state where the pressing force larger than that of the feed key 40 is necessary for the operation of the power key 30 as described above. Are simultaneously depressed, it is considered that a large depressing force is applied to the power key 30. In this case, the operator can assume that the key has been depressed with the intention of operating the power key 30. It is. Therefore, by performing the above control, it is possible to perform processing suitable for the operator's intention.

  Next, the fixing structure of the guide member 120 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13.

Thereby, it is possible to prevent the compression amount of the rubber member 53 from becoming excessive, and to prevent the shock absorbing function and durability of the rubber member 53 from being lowered.

  Next, the structure of the battery chamber cover 170 that can be attached to and detached from the battery storage chamber 105 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the battery chamber cover 170 is provided so as to be detachable from the battery storage chamber 105. As shown in FIG. 22, when the battery chamber cover 170 is removed, the battery that houses the rechargeable battery 10 is installed. A storage chamber 105 opens in the rear portion of the housing 100.

  The battery chamber cover 170 is provided at the left end (right end in FIGS. 22 to 25) that is one end in the longitudinal direction, and at the left end that is one end in the longitudinal direction of the battery storage chamber 105. It has a pair of upper and lower locking claws 171 fitted in the hole 109 (see FIG. 23). Further, the battery chamber cover 170 is provided at a right end portion (left end portion in FIGS. 22 to 25) that is the other end portion in the longitudinal direction and a right end portion that is the other end portion in the longitudinal direction of the battery storage chamber 105. It has an elastic engagement part 172 that engages with the joint part 110 while being elastically deformed. When attaching the battery chamber cover 170 to the battery storage chamber 105, first, the locking claw 171 at the left end is fitted into the locking hole 109 of the battery storage chamber 105 to lock the left end, In this state, the elastic engagement portion 172 is elastically deformed by pushing the right end portion into the battery storage chamber 105 and is engaged with the engaged portion 110 of the battery storage chamber 105. As a result, the battery chamber cover 170 is attached to the battery storage chamber 105 as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when removing the battery chamber cover 170 from the battery storage chamber 105, an operator inserts a finger into the engaged portion 110 formed in a concave shape to elastically deform the elastic engaging portion 172, The engagement between the elastic engagement portion 172 and the engaged portion 110 is released. Then, by pulling out the locking claw portion 171 from the locking hole 109 of the battery storage chamber 105, the battery chamber cover 170 is removed from the battery storage chamber 105.

  As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the elastic engagement portion 172 has a support portion 173 erected from the inner surface 170 a of the battery chamber cover 170 toward the battery storage chamber 105, and a tip of the support portion 173. A curved portion 174 is provided, and a distal end portion 175 that can be brought into contact with and separated from the support portion 173 by the bending of the curved portion 174. A projecting portion 175 a is formed at the distal end portion 175, and the projecting portion 175 a is engaged with the engaged portion 110 of the battery storage chamber 105.

  A rib portion 176 is erected on the inner surface 170 a of the battery chamber cover 170 adjacent to the support portion 173 of the elastic engagement portion 172. The rib portion 176 has a hollow structure with a substantially U-shaped cross section whose open side is connected to the support portion 173. As shown in FIG. 23, the rib portion 176 functions as a harness push-in portion that pushes in the electric wire 25a of the harness 25 connected to the rechargeable battery 10 stored when the battery chamber cover 170 is attached to the battery storage chamber 105. To do. That is, the rechargeable battery 10 is connected to a harness 25 for supplying power to the device at the right end (left end in FIG. 23) which is the other side end when stored in the battery storage chamber 105. . The harness 25 includes a connector 25b connected to the control board 60 and the like, and a plurality (two in this example) of electric wires 25a collected in a bundle. The electric wire 25a is formed long with a margin in consideration of the attachment / detachment workability at the time of battery replacement. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23, when the rechargeable battery 10 is stored in the battery storage chamber 105, the rechargeable battery 10 is folded in the battery storage chamber 105. The rib portion 176 can push the folded portion of the folded electric wire 25a into the back of the storage chamber and prevent the folded portion from interfering with the elastic engagement portion 172.

  In the above, the portable printer 1 corresponds to the portable electronic device described in the claims, and the rechargeable battery 10 corresponds to the battery power source. Moreover, the rib part 176 is corresponded to a harness pushing part. Further, a portion (housing 100, chassis assembly 50, etc.) other than the battery chamber cover 170 of the portable printer 1 corresponds to the device main body.

  The portable printer 1 of the present embodiment described above has the following effects. That is, the rechargeable battery 10 is connected with a harness 25 for supplying power to the device. The harness 25 includes a plurality of electric wires 25a collected in a bundle. Since these electric wires 25a are formed with a long margin in consideration of detachability when replacing the battery, when the rechargeable battery 10 is stored in the battery storage chamber 105, it is folded back in the battery storage chamber 105. It becomes the state. For this reason, when the harness 25 is located at the right end of the battery storage chamber 105 as in the present embodiment, the folded portion of the electric wire 25a interferes with the elastic engagement portion 172 of the battery chamber cover 170 and the elastic deformation is caused. There is a risk that the battery chamber cover 170 may not be smoothly attached to the battery storage chamber 105.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a rib portion 176 for pushing the electric wire 25a of the harness 25 is provided in the vicinity of the elastic engagement portion 172. Accordingly, when the battery chamber cover 170 is attached to the battery storage chamber 105, the folded portion of the electric wire 25 a of the harness 25 is pushed into the storage chamber back side by the rib portion 176, and the folded portion interferes with the elastic engagement portion 172. Can be prevented. As a result, the battery chamber cover 170 can be smoothly attached to the battery storage chamber 105.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the elastic engagement portion 172 is provided at a support portion 173 erected from the inner surface 170 a of the battery chamber cover 170 toward the inside of the battery storage chamber 105, and at the tip of the support portion 173. And a distal end portion 175 that engages with the engaged portion 110 while being in contact with and separated from the support portion 173 by bending of the bending portion 174, and is elastically deformed by the bending operation of the bending portion 174. It has become. Then, by providing the rib portion 176 adjacent to the support portion 173, the support portion 173 of the elastic engagement portion 172 is firmly fixed to the inner surface 170 a of the battery chamber cover 170. As described above, the elastic engaging portion 172 has a structure in which the curved portion 174 and the tip portion 175 are elastically deformed with respect to the fixed support portion 173, so that the entire elastic engaging portion 172 is elastically deformed. In comparison, since the influence on the elastic operation when the folded portion of the harness electric wire 25a comes into contact with the rib portion 176 or the support portion 173 can be reduced, the interference of the folded portion with the elastic engagement portion 172 can be suppressed. Further, since the support portion 173 of the elastic engagement portion 172 can be firmly fixed by the rib portion 176, there is an effect that the strength of the elastic engagement portion 172 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the rib portion 176 has a hollow structure having a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the open side is connected to the support portion 173 of the elastic engagement portion 172. By setting it as such a hollow structure, weight reduction can be achieved rather than making it a solid structure, pushing the folding | turning part of the harness electric wire 25a into the back side of a storage chamber reliably.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order.

(1) When giving priority to the feed key when operated at the same time In the above embodiment, when the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are operated at the same time, the power key 30 is given priority for processing. However, the feed key 40 may be prioritized.

  With reference to FIG. 26, the control contents relating to the operation of the power key 30 and the feed key 40 executed by the CPU 12 in this modification will be described.

  Steps S10, S20 and S50 are the same as those in FIG. That is, while the operator does not operate either the power key 30 or the feed key 40, Step S10 and Step S20 are repeated. At this time, if the power key 30 is operated alone, the determination in step S20 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S50, and the power-off process is executed.

  On the other hand, when the feed key 40 is operated while Step S10 and Step S20 are repeated, the process proceeds to Step S30, and the CPU 12 determines whether the power key 30 is pressed together with the feed key 40 or not. . At this time, regardless of whether the power key 30 is simultaneously depressed or not depressed, the process proceeds to step S40, and the CPU 12 executes the feed process. Then, the process returns to step S10.

  As described above, in this modification, when the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are operated at the same time, the feed process is performed without executing the power-off process. In this way, by executing the processing with priority on the feed key 40, when the operator operates the feed key 40, the power key 30 is mistakenly given a larger pressing force, and the power key 30 and the feed key are given. Even if 40 is depressed simultaneously, the feed process is executed, so that the function of suppressing the erroneous operation of the power key 30 can be further enhanced.

(2) When the power key is a double-click operation In the above-described embodiment, the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are operated by a single depression. The power-off process may be performed by assuming that the operation has been performed only when the button is continuously depressed twice within the time.

  With reference to FIG. 27, the control contents relating to the operation of the power key 30 and the feed key 40 executed by the CPU 12 in this modification will be described.

  About step S10 and step S20, it is the same as that of above-mentioned FIG. 8, and while the operator does not operate both the power key 30 and the feed key 40, step S10 and step S20 are repeated. At this time, if the power key 30 is operated alone, the determination in step S20 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S <b> 25, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the power key 30 has been continuously pressed down twice within a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “double click”). If the power key 30 has not been double-clicked, the determination is not satisfied and the routine returns to step S10. On the other hand, if the power key 30 is double-clicked, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to Step S50, where the CPU 12 executes a power-off process. Then, this flow ends.

  On the other hand, if the feed key 40 is operated while Step S10 and Step S20 (or Steps S10 to S30) are repeated, the determination at Step S10 is satisfied and the routine goes to Step S30, where the CPU 12 40, it is determined whether or not the power key 30 is simultaneously depressed. If the power key 30 is not depressed at the same time, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S40, and the CPU 12 executes the feed process. Then, the process returns to step S10. On the other hand, if the power key 30 is pressed down simultaneously, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S35.

  In step S35, the CPU 12 determines whether or not the power key 30 has been double-clicked. If the power key 30 is double-clicked, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to Step S50, where the power-off process is executed. On the other hand, if the power key 30 has not been double-clicked, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S40, where the CPU 12 executes the feed process. Then, the process returns to step S10.

  As described above, in this modification, only when the power key 30 is double-clicked, the power-off process is performed assuming that the power key 30 has been pressed. As a result, when the operator operates the feed key 40 by mistake, a large pressing force is applied to the power key 30 and even if the power key 30 and the feed key 40 are pressed simultaneously, If there is, the power supply is not turned off and the feed process corresponding to the feed key 40 is executed, so that the function of suppressing the erroneous operation of the power key 30 can be further enhanced. Further, since the operation of the power key 30 needs to be pressed twice in this way, the power key 30 is erroneously operated by a contact object or the like other than when the feed key 40 is operated, for example, when the portable printer 1 is carried. There is also an effect that can be prevented.

(3) When the rubber member 53 is also provided on the under cover 102 side In the above embodiment, the rubber member 53 is provided between the first boss portions 161L and 161R of the top cover 101 and the mounting portions 51 and 52. The rubber member 53 may also be provided between the second boss portions 162L and 162R of the under cover 102 and the attachment portions 51 and 52. Thereby, even if any of the top cover 101 and the under cover 102 receives an impact due to a drop of the portable printer 1 or the like, the impact transmitted to the chassis assembly 50 can be absorbed with certainty. A more powerful portable printer can be realized.
