Description

  The present invention relates to a relative movement urging device and an electronic device such as a mobile phone and a mobile using the relative movement urging device.

  For example, a conventional foldable mobile phone is provided with an operation unit on which the numeric keys and function keys are arranged on the upper surface side of the lower main unit, and a liquid crystal panel on which a predetermined display is made by the key operation of the operation unit. The display part is provided on the lower surface side (polymerization side) of the superposition part on the upper side, this main part and superposition part are connected via a hinge device, and the main part and superposition part are folded in half and operated From the folded closed state in which the portion is concealed by the overlapping portion, the overlapping portion is turned upside down by the hinge device and reversed to be switched to an open state in which the operation portion and the display portion are exposed.

  Therefore, in the conventional electronic equipment that covers the operation part of the main body part with the overlapping and rotating superposition part, it can be folded and compactized, but the display part is also concealed in the superposition state where the operation part is concealed. In many cases, use in a compact state is inevitably limited.

  Further, when operating the operation unit, the heavy overlapping portion provided with the display unit must be erected and rotated in the reverse direction, and there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to perform this opening / closing operation (particularly, opening operation).

  Therefore, instead of opening and closing by rolling up and down, it is possible to provide a display unit on the upper side of the overlapping part if the overlapping part slides back and forth along the overlapping surface and opens and closes. For example, when superposed when not in use or when no key operation is required, in other words, even in a compact state where the superposed part provided with the display part is superposed on the main body part to conceal the operating part, the display part is arranged on the upper side. It is possible to visually check and function the display unit, and when switching from a compacted and compacted state to a state where the operation unit is also exposed, the overlapping unit is moved back and forth along the overlapping surface. Since it can be performed by sliding, this opening operation can be performed very easily, and the usage application as a device is widened. Easy to become a mobile phone, an electronic device such as a mobile.

  By the way, when the slide opening / closing method is configured in this way, a slide device that slidably connects the main body portion and the overlapping portion is used, but the overlapping position where the operation portion of the main body portion is concealed by the overlapping portion. It is desirable that the overlapping portion automatically slides to the slide opening position where the operation portion is exposed when the overlapping portion is slid to the predetermined slide position where the overlapping portion is slid forward.

  Conventionally, a biasing force is provided to a slide structure part (relative movement structure part) that slides the overlapping part along the overlapping surface with respect to the main body part, for example, with a relative movement disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-110726. A force device (hereinafter, a conventional example) has been proposed.

  This conventional example includes a first connecting body (first rod 46) rotatably connected to a main body (first sliding member 10), and a superposed portion connected to the first connecting body so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction. A second connecting body (second rod 48) rotatably connected to the (guide member 30), and a slide biasing body that is installed between the first connecting body and the second connecting body and that biases the slide. (Spring 50).

  In this conventional example, until the overlapping portion is slid by a predetermined length with respect to the main body portion, a return bias is generated in which the overlapping portion returns and slides in the return direction. The urging action of slid urging the overlapping portion with respect to the main body portion will be exhibited.

  The present invention provides a biasing force for the relative movement between the first member 1 and the second member 2 by providing the first member 1 and the second member 2 connected to each other so as to be relatively movable. Can be granted.

  Specifically, the present invention is a configuration in which a relative movement urging that urges the first linking body 3 and the second linking body 4 in the separating direction is generated by moving the first linking body 3 and the second linking body 4 closer to each other. When the second member 2 to be superposed is provided in a slide structure part (relative movement structure part) that slides along the superposition surface, the first connector 3 is connected to the first member 1 and the second member 2 When the second connecting body 4 is connected, until the second member 2 is slid by a predetermined length with respect to the first member 1, a return bias is generated that the second member 2 returns and slides in the return direction, and is slid by a predetermined length. On the contrary, the urging action of slidably urging the second member 2 against the first member 1 in which the advancing urging that slides and moves in the advancing direction is exhibited.

  By the way, the present invention includes a flat thin plate-like first connecting body 3 connected to the first member 1 and a flat thin plate-like first connecting body connected to the second member 2 at a position opposed to the first connecting body 3. A plurality of first slide protrusions 7 arranged in parallel to a predetermined portion P2 of the first connector 3 and a plurality of second slides 7 arranged in parallel to a predetermined portion P3 of the second connector 4 A plurality of second slide protrusions 9 connected to the guide portion 6 and arranged side by side in a portion P4 in the vicinity of the side P3 of the second connection body 4 where the second guide portion 6 is provided side by side. The first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide are connected to a plurality of first guide portions 8 that are juxtaposed in the side vicinity P1 of the site P2 in which the first slide projecting body 7 is juxtaposed. The first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are brought into contact with each other against the urging force of the urging body 10 fitted on the protrusion 9. It constitutes such that the relative movement urging that biases the separating direction by causing moved occurs, it is possible to reliably achieve a compact from this configuration.

  Specifically, in the present invention, the first slide protrusion 7 and the second slide protrusion 9 function as a connection structure that connects the first connection body 3 and the second connection body 4, and the first connection body 3. The second connecting body 4 functions as a portion for providing the biasing body 10 that biases the second connecting body 4 in the separating direction. Therefore, the structure is very efficient, and the first connecting body 3 as in the conventional example described above. There is no need to separately provide a structure for guiding the relative movement between the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4, and a structure for disposing an urging body between the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4, etc. By reliably reducing the number of parts, the structure can be simplified as much as possible, and the relative movement urging device itself can be easily and reliably made compact.

  In the present invention, the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are flat and thin plate-like, and the first guide portion 8 and the second guide portion 6 provided in the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are used. Are arranged in parallel to the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4, and further, a first slide projecting body 7 and a second slide projecting body 9 coupled to the first guide part 8 and the second guide part 6. Also, since the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are arranged side by side, the relative movement urging device itself is as thin as possible without wasteful projection, and becomes very compact.

  In the present invention, the first guide portion 8 and the second guide portion having guide lengths for exhibiting the strength required to guide the first slide protrusion 7 and the second slide protrusion 9 respectively. Compared to the tip portions 3a and 4a of the respective parts P1 and P3 where 6 are juxtaposed, the tip parts 3b and 6b of the parts P2 and P4 where the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide projecting body 9 are juxtaposed The shapes of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are set so that 4b is located on the base end side, and this configuration maintains the function originally required for the relative movement biasing device. At the same time, it contributes to reliably achieving further downsizing.

  Specifically, a structure different from the structure according to the present invention described above, that is, the first slide protrusion 7 and the second slide protrusion 9, and the first slide protrusion 7 and the second slide protrusion 9 are covered. Under the condition that the same biasing body 10 is used, the tip portions 3a and 4a of the portions P1 and P3 where the first guide portion 8 and the second guide portion 6 are arranged side by side, the first slide protrusion 7 and A structure in which the shapes of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are set so that the tip portions 3b and 4b of the portions P2 and P4 where the first slide projecting bodies 7B are juxtaposed are in a flush state (hereinafter, comparison) When the structure A) is compared with the present invention, the present invention moves the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 most closely and at the same time as compared with the comparative structure A. The pitch between the base ends of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 at the time is as short as possible. It can be.

  This is different from the comparative structure A described above in that the one end portion of the urging body 10 as the tip portions 3a and 4a of the portions P1 and P3 where the first guide portion 8 and the second guide portion 6 are juxtaposed. Other than the urging body 10 as the tip portions 3b and 4b of the parts P2 and P4 where the first slide protrusion 7 and the first slide protrusion 7B are juxtaposed with the urging body support portions 3a and 4a for supporting 10a. This is because the shapes of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are set so that the biasing body support portions 3b and 4b for supporting the end portion 10b are located on the base end side. When the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide projecting body 9 and the biasing body 10 fitted on the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide projecting body 9 are employed, one end 10a of the biasing body 10 is used. The urging body support portions 3a and 4a for supporting the urging body 10 and the urging body support portions 3b and 4b for supporting the other end portion 10b of the urging body 10 are optimal. Since the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide projecting body 9 are retracted toward the base end side while maintaining the facing distance (interval at which the biasing body 10 functions well), the first connecting body 3 And the pitch between the base ends of the second connecting body 4 (the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 3 when the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are moved farthest apart and when they are moved closest to each other). This is because the pitch between the base end portions of each of the coupling bodies 4 can be made as short as possible.

  In addition, even in the comparative structure A, the pitch between the base ends of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 (the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 are moved most apart from each other). The pitch between the base end portions of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 at the time of the most close movement is the same as the pitch obtained by the structure according to the present invention described above. In this case, it is necessary to make the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 small (narrow the depth width in the front-rear direction). A relative movement urging device is used such that a sufficient distance (guide length) for the slide projecting body 7 and the second sliding projecting body 9 to slide satisfactorily cannot be ensured, and the strength is not durable enough for implementation. It is not realistic because it cannot perform the functions originally required.

  Therefore, the comparative structure A has the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide projecting body 9 and the first slide projecting body 7 and the second slide that satisfy the above-described conditions while maintaining the function originally required by the relative movement biasing device. When it is going to equip the urging | biasing body 10 fitted to the slide protrusion 9, it is the pitch (the 1st connection body 3 and the 2nd connection body) between each base end part of the 1st connection body 3 and the 2nd connection body 4. 4 is relatively long as compared with the present invention, when the distance between the base end portions of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 when the head 4 is moved farthest from each other and when the head 4 is moved closest to each other. (It will increase in size).

  As described above, according to the present invention, the relative movement urging device itself can be easily and reliably made compact from the above-described configuration, and thus, for example, the electronic device that is provided with the relative movement urging device can be made compact. be able to.

  Further, as in the conventional example, the urging body disposed between the first connecting body and the second connecting body is supported by small protrusions protruding from the first connecting body and the second connecting body. In this case, when the urging body is expanded and contracted, the urging force is wasted so that the central portion of the urging body is bent so as to bend in the left-right direction. Since the urging body 10 is a structure that extends and contracts straightly in a state (guided state) along the first slide protrusion 7 and the second slide protrusion 9, the urging body 10 is only in the expansion / contraction direction. It will expand and contract and function reliably, and a good urging force without waste (loss) will be obtained.

Further, the present invention, since it can most reduce the first guide portion 8 and the second guide portion 6 of the right and left positioned outside as much as possible (for meat-up), the first connecting member 3 and the second The left and right widths of the connecting body 4 can be made as small as possible, and for example, all the second slide protrusions 9 and the first Since the assembly is completed by inserting at least one place after inserting the one slide protrusion 7, the assembly is completed.

Between the first material 24 and the second material 26, the relative movement biasing device S described above is interposed, and the second material 26 is rotatably connected to the first material 24.

  Further, the rotating structure portion 11B is configured such that the second material 26 provided in the overlapping portion 2 (or the main body portion 1) can freely turn to the slide structure portion 11A provided between the overlapping portion 2 and the main body portion 1. Rotation restriction in the range from the position where the overlapping portion 2 is overlapped and overlapped with the main body 1 to the maximum rotation position where the overlapping intersects by engaging with and engaging with the rotation of the second material 26 The rotation restricting mechanism 27 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 13, 14, and 15, the rotation restricting mechanism 27 comes into contact with a stopper portion 28 (or a stopper receiving portion) provided on the second material 26 when the overlapping portion 2 rotates relative to the main body portion 1. A stopper receiving portion 29 (or a stopper portion) to be engaged is provided on the first material 24.

  Specifically, a stopper receiving portion 29 composed of a curved concave portion (curved groove) is provided at a predetermined position on the surface of the first material 24, and the inside of the stopper receiving portion 29 is rotated when the second material 26 is rotated with respect to the first material 24. The stopper 28 that moves (slids) and abuts is provided on the second material 26, and the second material 26 is over-rotated by 90 degrees or more and reciprocating in only one direction. The rotation restricting mechanism 27 according to this embodiment is provided with a mechanism 27.

The other stopper receiving portion 29b and the stopper portion 28 are engaged with each other at the maximum rotation position where they intersect with each other.

  A relative movement urging device S is provided on the rotating structure portion 11B having the above-described configuration.

  The relative movement urging device S has a return rotation bias that returns and rotates the overlapping portion to a position parallel to the overlapping of the main body 1 until the overlapping portion 2 is rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the main body 1. The rotation structure portion 11B is provided so as to generate a forward rotation bias that is generated and rotated to a maximum rotation position that intersects and conversely overlaps when rotated by a predetermined angle. When a predetermined angle is rotated from the position where the polymerization is parallel to the position where the polymerization intersects, advance rotation bias is generated, and the rotation angle from the position where the polymerization intersects at the position where the polymerization intersects is small, 45 degrees or less. An angle (about 40 degrees) is set. In addition, the angle from this superposition | polymerization parallel position to the position which cross-polymerizes can be set suitably.

  That is, the relative movement urging device S has one end portion (first connection body 3) rotatably connected to the main body portion 1 (first material 24) and the other end portion (second connection body 4) is superposed. It connects to the above-mentioned slide structure part 11A (second material 26 as a guide member) provided between the part 2 and the main body part 1 so as to be rotatable, and the overlapping part 2 is rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the main body part 1. Until the rotation is performed, a return rotation bias is generated in which the overlapping portion rotates and returns in the closing direction. ing. 12 to 15, the relative movement urging device S provided in the slide structure portion 11A is not shown.

  That is, the left and right first coupling bodies 3 and the second coupling body 4 of the relative movement urging device S are pressed toward each other so that one of the first coupling body 3 and the second coupling body 4 is connected to the main body 1 (first material). 24) is connected to the attachment portion of the slide structure portion 8A (second member 26 as a guide member), and the relative urging device S is connected to the first connection body 3, The two linked bodies 4 are configured so as to generate an angled urging force to be separated from each other, and the angled urging forces generated in the left and right first linked bodies 3 and the second linked body 4 do not act as rotational force (polymerization). While the overlapping portion 2 is slid and moved to the overlapping position with respect to the main body portion 1 with respect to the crossing position), this angle expansion biasing returns to the overlapping portion to cause rotation biasing. If it is rotated to a position beyond the position where it is moved, it is advanced to the superposition part 2 by this widening biasing force, and the rotation biasing occurs. It is constituted so that.

  That is, in this example, as shown in FIG. 13, assuming that the main body 1 is fixed (position parallel to the superposition), the superposition part 2 is rotated relatively parallel to the superposition surface relative to this, As shown in FIG. 14, the overlapping part is moved to a position where the positions of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 on the left and right of the relative movement urging device S are substantially in line with the shaft portion 25 (rotation position where the crossing overlaps). During the rotation, the angle expansion biasing force of the first connecting body 3 and the second connecting body 4 becomes a force for returning and rotating the overlapping portion 2 with respect to the main body portion 1, and a return rotating bias is generated. When the positions of the left and right first connection bodies 3 and the second connection body 4 are not substantially in line with the shaft portion 25 but are rotated more than a predetermined rotation position, the first connection as shown in FIG. The maximum rotation position at which the angle expansion biasing force of the body 3 and the second coupling body 4 is generated in the opposite direction to the main body 1 in the direction of further advancement and rotation of the overlapping portion 2 and intersects. It is constituted so that it can be advanced to turn.

  Therefore, in the rotation structure portion 11B that overlaps the main body portion 1 and the overlapping portion 2 in a freely rotatable manner, the rotation is urged by a simple configuration, and when it is rotated by a predetermined angle, the opening direction is automatically reversed. Advance rotation bias is generated, and the rotation operation becomes lighter, or depending on the design, it can be configured to automatically rotate even when the hand is released. It can be designed so that it does not occur in the range and the overlapping part does not flutter during rotation.

  As described above, a vertically long display unit in the sliding direction is provided on the upper surface of the overlapping portion 2 (second member) that overlaps the main body portion 1 (first member), and this orthogonality is used when displaying a horizontally long image such as a TV or a movie. It is possible to switch to a direction that becomes a horizontally long display in the direction to be turned. In particular, when the overlapping portion 2 provided with the display portion on the upper surface is rotated 90 degrees with respect to the main body portion 1 by the rotating structure portion 11B, the overlapping portion 2 or The display unit is rotated 90 degrees with the intermediate position of the display section as a rotation fulcrum (just as the shaft section 25 is moved to this position by sliding relatively to the fulcrum) and the main body 1 The overlapping portion 2 is not L-shaped but T-shaped.

  Further, since the relative movement biasing device S has a thin and compact structure, this embodiment is particularly effective when it is provided in a thick laminated structure such as when the rotating structure part 11B is incorporated in the slide structure part 11A.
