Since the waterproof structure of the first casing 13 and the waterproof structure of the second casing 15 are the same, the waterproof structure of the first casing 13 will be described, and the waterproof structure of the second casing 15 will be described. Omitted. 4 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the waterproof structure of the first housing 13, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along a cutting line BB in FIG.

図4に示すように、第1の筐体13には貫通穴21が設けられている。第1の筐体13の内部に接続される電気的接続線19は、防水性、柔軟性を有するチューブ27の内部に遊挿されている。本形態例のチューブ27は、水は通さず、水蒸気は通す選択透過性を有する材質、例えば、多孔質ポリテトラフルオロエチレンを用いた。   As shown in FIG. 4, the first housing 13 is provided with a through hole 21. The electrical connection line 19 connected to the inside of the first housing 13 is loosely inserted into the tube 27 having waterproofness and flexibility. The tube 27 of the present embodiment is made of a material having selective permeability that does not allow water to pass but allows water vapor to pass, such as porous polytetrafluoroethylene.

端末固定部材29は樹脂製で、その内周部29aの壁面は、端末固定部材29の一方の端部から内部に行くに従ってその径が漸次小さくなる第1テーパ部29cと、端末固定部材29の他方の端部から内部に行くに従ってその径が漸次小さくなり、第1テーパ部29cと接続される第2テーパ部29dとからなっている。そして、第1テーパ部29cと第2テーパ部29dとの接続部分Jと、チューブ27の外周面とが、周方向に沿って連続的に熱溶着され、取り付けられている。   The terminal fixing member 29 is made of resin, and the wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29 a has a first taper portion 29 c that gradually decreases in diameter from one end of the terminal fixing member 29 toward the inside, and the terminal fixing member 29. The diameter gradually decreases from the other end to the inside, and includes a second tapered portion 29d connected to the first tapered portion 29c. And the connection part J of the 1st taper part 29c and the 2nd taper part 29d and the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 are continuously heat-welded along the circumferential direction, and are attached.

従って、端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面にチューブ27の外周面が熱溶着により連続的にかつ水密に取り付けられることにより、端末固定部材29とチューブ27との防水がなされる。   Therefore, the terminal fixing member 29 and the tube 27 are waterproofed by attaching the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 to the wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29a of the terminal fixing member 29 continuously and watertightly by heat welding.

一方、端末固定部材29の外周部29bには、周方向に凹部29eが形成され、この凹部29eには、Oリング等のシール部材31が設けられている。端末固定部材29を第1の筐体13の貫通穴21に係合させると、シール部材31が貫通穴21の内周面と、端末固定部材29の凹部29eとに周方向にわたって密着し、第1の筐体13の貫通穴21と端末固定部材29との防水がなされる。   On the other hand, a concave portion 29e is formed in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral portion 29b of the terminal fixing member 29, and a sealing member 31 such as an O-ring is provided in the concave portion 29e. When the terminal fixing member 29 is engaged with the through hole 21 of the first housing 13, the seal member 31 closely contacts the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 21 and the concave portion 29 e of the terminal fixing member 29 in the circumferential direction. The through hole 21 of the one housing 13 and the terminal fixing member 29 are waterproofed.

さらに、本形態例では、貫通穴21は、端末固定部材29が係合する大穴部21aと、端末固定部材29の外周部の大きさより小さく設定された小穴部21bとからなり、端末固定部材29を貫通穴21の大穴部21aに係合させた場合、端末固定部材29の端面が大穴部21aと小穴部21bとの段部21cに当接し、端末固定部材29の位置決めを行うようにしている。   Further, in the present embodiment, the through hole 21 includes a large hole portion 21 a with which the terminal fixing member 29 engages and a small hole portion 21 b set smaller than the size of the outer peripheral portion of the terminal fixing member 29. Is engaged with the large hole portion 21a of the through hole 21, the end surface of the terminal fixing member 29 comes into contact with the step portion 21c of the large hole portion 21a and the small hole portion 21b, thereby positioning the terminal fixing member 29. .

次に、端末固定部材29とチューブ27との熱溶着方法を図6を用いて説明する。図6(a)に示すように、チューブ27を端末固定部材29の一方の端部側から内周部29aに挿入し、端末固定部材29の他方の端部側から、円錐状の加熱治具51をチューブ27の内部に挿通し、チューブ27の外周面を端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面に押し付ける。すると、図6(b)に示すように、径が一番小さくなる第1テーパ部29cと第2テーパ部29dとの接続部分Jとチューブ27の外周面とが周方向に沿って連続的に熱溶着される。   Next, a heat welding method between the terminal fixing member 29 and the tube 27 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the tube 27 is inserted into the inner peripheral portion 29 a from one end side of the terminal fixing member 29, and the conical heating jig is inserted from the other end side of the terminal fixing member 29. 51 is inserted into the tube 27, and the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 is pressed against the wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29 a of the terminal fixing member 29. Then, as shown in FIG.6 (b), the connection part J of the 1st taper part 29c and the 2nd taper part 29d in which a diameter becomes the smallest, and the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 are continuously along the circumferential direction. Heat welded.

なお、本形態例では、端末固定部材29の形状を図7に示すような形状とした。即ち、端末固定部材29の第1テーパ部29cと第2テーパ部29dとの接続部分Jには、その周方向にわたって突起29fを形成した。   In this embodiment, the shape of the terminal fixing member 29 is as shown in FIG. That is, the protrusion 29f was formed in the connection part J of the 1st taper part 29c and the 2nd taper part 29d of the terminal fixing member 29 over the circumferential direction.

更に、図8に示すように、チューブ27の熱溶着される箇所には、その周方向にわたって、熱溶着時に溶融した樹脂が通る微小な穴27fを形成した。
このような構成によれば、以下のような効果を得ることができる。
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, a minute hole 27f through which the resin melted at the time of heat welding passes is formed in the circumferential direction of the tube 27 at the place where heat welding is performed.
According to such a configuration, the following effects can be obtained.

(1)第1の筐体13の貫通穴21に対して係脱可能な端末固定部材29を用いることにより、低コストの防水構造が実現できる。また、端末固定部材29とチューブ27とを取りけた後に電気的接続線19をチューブ27に挿通することができるので、製造が容易である。   (1) By using the terminal fixing member 29 that can be engaged and disengaged with respect to the through hole 21 of the first housing 13, a low-cost waterproof structure can be realized. In addition, since the electrical connection line 19 can be inserted into the tube 27 after the terminal fixing member 29 and the tube 27 are removed, the manufacturing is easy.

(2)チューブ27の防水性は、水は通さず、水蒸気は通す選択透過性を有することにより、第1の筐体13内部の結露を防止することができる。
(3)端末固定部材29、チューブ27は樹脂製で、端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面とチューブ27の外周面との取り付けは、熱溶着であることにより、製造コストが安く、接着に比べ接着等に比べ、溶着直後に所望の取付強度を得ることができる。また、本形態例では、チューブ27が連続多孔質構造である場合、溶着すると端末固定部材の内周部を形成する樹脂が溶融してチューブの空孔部に侵入する、所謂アンカー効果により簡単にかつ確実に結合することができる。
(2) The waterproofness of the tube 27 can prevent dew condensation inside the first housing 13 by having a selective permeability through which water does not pass and water vapor passes.
(3) The terminal fixing member 29 and the tube 27 are made of resin, and the attachment between the wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29a of the terminal fixing member 29 and the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 is thermal welding, so that the manufacturing cost is low and the bonding is performed. Compared to bonding and the like, desired attachment strength can be obtained immediately after welding. Further, in this embodiment, when the tube 27 has a continuous porous structure, the resin that forms the inner peripheral portion of the terminal fixing member melts and melts into the hole portion of the tube when welded. And it can be reliably coupled.

(4)端末固定部材29の内周面の壁面は、端末固定部材29の端面から内部に行くに従ってその径が漸次小さくなる第1テーパ部29cを有することにより、円錐状の加熱治具51をチューブ27の内部に挿通し、チューブ27の外周面を端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面に押し付けることにより、容易に端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面にチューブ27の外周面を周方向に沿って連続的に熱溶着することができる。   (4) The wall surface of the inner peripheral surface of the terminal fixing member 29 has the first taper portion 29c whose diameter gradually decreases from the end surface of the terminal fixing member 29 to the inside, so that the conical heating jig 51 is provided. The tube 27 is inserted into the inside of the tube 27, and the outer peripheral surface of the tube 27 is pressed against the wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29 a of the terminal fixing member 29. Thermal welding can be continuously performed along the circumferential direction.

(5)端末固定部材29の内周部29aの壁面は、端末固定部材29の一方の端部から内部に行くに従ってその径が漸次小さくなる第1テーパ部29cと、端末固定部材29の他方の端部から内部に行くに従ってその径が漸次小さくなり、第1テーパ部29cと接続される第2テーパ部29dとからなることにより、熱溶着される箇所は第1テーパ部29cと第2テーパ部29dとの接続部分Jとなり、熱溶着される位置のばらつきがなくなる。   (5) The wall surface of the inner peripheral portion 29 a of the terminal fixing member 29 has a first tapered portion 29 c that gradually decreases in diameter from one end of the terminal fixing member 29 toward the inside, and the other end of the terminal fixing member 29. The diameter gradually decreases from the end portion toward the inside, and the second taper portion 29d connected to the first taper portion 29c forms the first and second taper portions 29c and 29c. It becomes a connection portion J with 29d, and there is no variation in the position of heat welding.

(6)第1テーパ部29cと第2テーパ部29dとの接続部分Jには、その周方向にわたって突起29fが形成されていることにより、熱溶着される箇所は突起29fとなる。そして、熱溶着した場合、加熱治具51が突起29fに第1テーパ部29cより先に接触して、溶けた材料が突起29fの基部方向に逃げることができ、加熱治具51が第1テーパ部29cで止まることができるので、多少の第1テーパ部29cの寸法精度が悪くても、確実な熱溶着を得ることができる。   (6) Since the projection 29f is formed in the connection part J of the 1st taper part 29c and the 2nd taper part 29d over the circumferential direction, the location to be heat-welded becomes the projection 29f. When the heat welding is performed, the heating jig 51 comes into contact with the projection 29f before the first taper portion 29c, and the melted material can escape in the direction of the base of the projection 29f. Since it can stop by the part 29c, even if the dimensional accuracy of the some 1st taper part 29c is bad, reliable heat welding can be obtained.

(7)チューブ27の熱溶着される箇所には、その周方向にわたって、熱溶着時に溶融した樹脂が通る微小な穴27fを形成したことにより、熱溶着時に溶融した樹脂がチューブ27の内周まで行き渡り、溶着強度が向上する。   (7) By forming the minute hole 27f through which the resin melted at the time of heat welding passes in the circumferential direction of the tube 27 at the location where the heat is welded, the resin melted at the time of heat welding reaches the inner periphery of the tube 27. Spread and improve welding strength.

尚、本発明は、上記形態例に限定するものではない。上記形態例は第1の筐体13の防水構造で説明したが、第2の筐体15の防水構造にも適用できる。さらに、本発明の防水構造は、折り畳み電子機器以外の電子機器にも適用できることは言うまでもない。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Although the above embodiment has been described with respect to the waterproof structure of the first casing 13, it can also be applied to the waterproof structure of the second casing 15. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the waterproof structure of the present invention can be applied to electronic devices other than folding electronic devices.
