It can be used for an entertainment device using an optical disk such as Only Memory).

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs,
As a housing of an entertainment device using an optical disk such as a DVD-ROM, a housing provided with a lid whose end is rotatably attached to the housing main body, and opening and closing the lid using elastic force. It has been known. In such a housing, a circular lid corresponding to the optical disk shape is rotatably attached to the back side of the housing main body by a mechanism such as a hinge, and a biasing means such as a spring is provided inside the housing main body. When the elastic force of the spring is released, the lid is released.
And, in the housing body, a position away from the mounting portion of the lid portion,
For example, a locking member that moves forward and backward with respect to the lid is provided on the front side, and by locking the end of the lid with this locking member,
The lid can be closed.

This locking member has an inclined surface that comes into contact with a pressing member such as a button. When an operator presses the button, the pressing force acts as a force in the direction of movement of the locking member through the inclined surface. Move in a direction away from the end of the lid. On the other hand, when the operator releases the button, it is necessary to restore the locking member to its original position and lock the lid with the locking member.
A biasing means such as a spring is provided at a proximal end portion of the locking member in the reciprocating direction.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional housing for electronic equipment, the locking structure of the lid is composed of the button, the locking member, and the urging means, and the number of parts is large. There is a problem that the labor for assembling is increased and it is difficult to efficiently assemble the electronic device. Further, when assembling, since the urging means such as a spring must be attached to the base end portion of the locking member in a bent state, there is a problem that the assembling work becomes complicated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a housing for electronic equipment and an electronic equipment capable of greatly reducing an assembling operation.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a housing for an electronic device according to the present invention has a lid portion whose end is rotatably attached to the housing main body, and has an elastic force. An electronic device housing that opens and closes the lid portion by utilizing the housing body, wherein the housing body moves forward and backward with respect to an end portion of the lid portion, and locks the end portion to thereby form the lid. A locking member for holding the portion in a closed state is provided, the locking member includes a locking portion main body that locks an end portion of the lid portion, and a biasing unit that biases the main body in the forward and backward directions. And they are integrated with each other.

According to the present invention, since the locking portion main body and the urging means are integrated, only by attaching the locking member to the housing main body, the locking portion main body and the urging member are biased. The means can be attached, and the assembling work can be simplified. Here, as an electronic device in which the housing for an electronic device of the present invention can be used, entertainment devices such as a CD, a DVD player, and a game device can be considered. By adopting the present invention in these electronic devices, the housing is improved. The structure of the body can be simplified, which is preferable in reducing the size and weight of the electronic device, and is also preferable in reducing the cost.

In the above, it is preferable that the urging means is symmetrically arranged on the plane including the advance / retreat axis defining the advance / retreat direction of the locking member, with the axis being the advance / retreat axis, and is particularly preferably formed in a ring shape. Is preferred. Since the biasing means is configured symmetrically about the advance / retreat axis in this way,
Since the urging force in the forward and backward directions can be uniformly applied, the structure of the locking member for locking the lid is more preferable. Further, the structure is simplified by being formed in a ring shape.

It is preferable that a guide is formed on the housing body along a movement axis of the locking body so as to restrict the movement of the locking member in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction. Since the guide is formed in this manner, the locking member can be mounted in accordance with the guide, and the assembling work can be further simplified.

[0010] Further, it is preferable that the locking member is formed as an integrally molded product obtained by injection-molding polyacetal. As described above, since the material of the locking member is polyacetal, the polyacetal is a good sliding material and has good fatigue resistance. It can be slid and the urging force of the urging means can be maintained for a long time.

[0011] Further, an opening into which the lid is fitted is formed in the above-mentioned housing body, and the periphery of the lid is exposed to the outside in a state where the lid is fitted into the opening. It is desirable that a recessed portion be provided. It is more preferable that the recess has a depth at which the end of the mounted optical disc is exposed when the lid is opened, as viewed from the front of the housing. With this configuration, after the lid is attached to the housing main body, when checking the attachment of the lid or the like, the finger is hooked on the periphery of the lid exposed in the concave portion, so that the lid is attached. It can be easily opened and closed. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm the attachment of the lid and the like, and also in this respect, the assembling work can be greatly reduced. Further, since the concave portion has a depth at which the end of the optical disc is exposed when the lid is released, the end or the lower surface of the end of the mounted optical disc can be easily touched. It is possible to provide an electronic device in which the optical disk can be easily removed.

Further, the above-mentioned casing main body is provided with a pair of housing members for housing the apparatus main body having electronic components and the like inside by engaging with each other, and the housing main body has an external part provided in the apparatus main body. An opening for exposing a connection terminal for device connection is formed, and the opening preferably straddles a boundary between the pair of storage members. Here, as the connection terminal for connecting an external device, for example, a controller connection portion (terminal) to which a controller is connected, a video / audio output terminal for outputting a signal from a device main body to a television receiver, and the like, A power supply terminal for supplying power from the power supply to the apparatus main body is also included. In addition, as the opening straddling the boundary portion (engagement line) of the pair of storage members, for example, in addition to the opening including the opening formed facing the boundary portion in each of the pair of storage members, One of the pair of storage members also includes an opening or the like formed by an opening formed facing the boundary portion. Here, the pair of storage members constituting the housing body is usually formed by injection molding using a mold having an upper mold (cavity) and a lower mold (core). At this time, for example, in the case where an opening for exposing the connection terminal provided in the device main body is formed in the storage member,
(1) The upper die and the lower die are engaged with each other, and a slide core that moves sideways is inserted into the die, (2) resin is injected into the die, and (3) the slide core is moved to The container is removed from the mold, and (4) the upper mold is raised to remove the molded product, thereby forming a storage member. However, in this case, there is a problem that many steps are required for moving the slide core and productivity of each storage member is impaired. Therefore, instead of forming an opening in the storage member, if an opening is formed across the boundary portion between the pair of storage members, if each storage member has an opening facing the boundary portion, Often,
Since a slide core is not required, the number of processes can be reduced,
Thereby, the productivity of each storage member can be improved.

[0013]

As shown in FIG. 4, the open / close button 16 includes a pressing member 23 exposed to the outside,
And a locking member 24 arranged on the upper case body 14 below the upper case body 14. The pressing member 23 is formed at a pressing portion 23A having a U-shaped cross section and a plane circular shape, and at a substantially central position of the pressing portion 23A on the locking member 24 side, and a tip thereof contacts the locking member 24. And a contact portion 23B having a rectangular side surface.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the locking member 24 advances and retreats with respect to the locking piece 21B of the disk covering portion 21 (arrow A in FIG. 4), and locks this locking piece 21B. By doing so, the lid portion 13 is held in a closed state, and a locking portion main body 25 that locks the locking piece 21B, and an urging means 26 that urges the locking portion main body 25 in the forward and backward directions are provided. And is formed as an integrally molded product by injection molding of polyacetal.

The locking portion main body 25 has a planar convex main body upper portion 27 that is exposed to the outside when the pressing member 23 is removed,
The main body 27 includes a main body lower part 28 which is formed on the lower side of the main body upper part 27 and has a planar convex shape slightly smaller than the main body upper part 27. The main body upper part 27 is fitted between a pair of guides 14B formed on the upper case main body 14, thereby restricting the movement of the locking member 24 perpendicular to the advancing and retreating direction.

At the end of the upper part 27 of the main body, an inclined surface 27A is formed which is inclined downward toward the center of the disc mounting portion 20. The tip on which the inclined surface 27A is formed is

When the operator presses the pressing member 23, the contact portion 23B of the pressing member 23 is inserted into the through hole 29 of the locking portion main body 25 while pressing the inclined surface 29A. Then, the pressing force applied to the pressing portion 23A acts as a force in the retreating direction of the locking member 24 via the contact portion 23B and the inclined surface 29A, and the locking member 2
4 moves in a direction away from the locking piece 21B. Thereby, the tip of the main body upper part 27 is released from the locking piece 21B, and the lid 13 is released by the elastic force of the spring 14A. Here, when the operator releases his hand from the pressing portion 23A, the inclined surface 29
The pressing force to A is lost, and the urging force of the urging means 26 moves the locking portion main body 25 toward the disk mounting portion 20, and the locking member 24 is restored to the original position.

On the other hand, the optical disc 4
When the cover 13 is closed after the cover is mounted, when the cover 13 is pushed toward the disc mounting portion 20, the locking piece 21 </ b> B is pressed.
Of the main body upper part 27 pushes the inclined surface 27A at the tip of the main body upper part 27, and the locking member 24 moves in a direction away from the locking piece 21B.
Further, by pushing the lid portion 13 toward the disk mounting portion 20, the locking member 24 that has moved in a direction away from the locking piece 21B moves toward the recess 21C of the locking piece 21B, and The tip of the upper part 27 of the main body is locked by the locking piece 21B. Thereby, the lid 13 can be closed.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the locking portion main body 25 and the urging means 26 are integrated, the upper case main body 14

Since the urging means 26 is formed in a ring shape, the structure can be simplified.

Further, since the guide 14B for restricting the movement of the locking member 24 perpendicular to the reciprocating direction is formed on the upper case main body 14 along the advancing / retracting axis of the locking portion main body 25, the locking member 24 is guided. 14B, and can be further simplified.

Further, since the material of the locking member 24 is polyacetal, the polyacetal is a good sliding material and has good fatigue resistance. As a result, the urging means 26 can be slid smoothly and the urging force of the urging means 26 can be maintained for a long time.

Further, the opening 1 of the upper case body 14
Since the concave portion 14F is provided on the periphery of 4E, after the lid portion 13 is attached to the upper case main body 14, the lid portion 1 exposed in the concave portion 14F is checked when the attachment of the lid portion 13 is checked.
By hooking a finger on the peripheral edge of the cover 3, the cover 13 can be easily opened and closed. Thereby, it is possible to easily confirm the attachment of the lid 13 and the like, and from this point, it is possible to greatly reduce the assembling work. And recess 1
4F is set to have such a depth that the outer peripheral end of the loaded optical disk 4 is exposed when the lid 13 is opened, so that a finger or the like can be hooked on the outer peripheral end of the optical disk 4 or the lower surface of the end. Therefore, it is possible to provide the electronic apparatus 1 in which the mounted optical disk 4 can be easily removed.

Further, since the insertion hole 18A is formed across the boundary between the upper case body 14 and the lower case 12, it is possible to form an opening with one side omitted in each of the upper case body 14 and the lower case 12. Often, this eliminates the need for a conventional slide core. As a result, the number of steps can be reduced, and the upper case 11,
The productivity of the lower case 12 can be improved.
