Description

本発明は、第１のハウジングに対して第２のハウジングを取り付けるハウジング取付構造及びそのハウジング取付構造を備えたハウジング構造並びにそのハウジング構造を備えた電子機器に関する。   The present invention relates to a housing mounting structure for attaching a second housing to a first housing, a housing structure including the housing mounting structure, and an electronic device including the housing structure.

一般的に、電子機器の下側ケース（ハウジング）は、上側ケース（ハウジング）とスナップフィットにより取り付けられ、ネジにより固定されている。このスナップフィットは、下側ケースの内面に形成された突起状の第１係合部と、上側ケースの周縁部に形成された穴を有するアーム状の第２係合部とからなる。このような構成において、第１係合部に第２係合部が嵌め込まれることにより、下側ケースが上側ケースに取り付けられる。そして、下側ケースの下方から上方に向けてネジが螺合されて下側ケースが上側ケースに固定される（特許文献１参照）。   Generally, a lower case (housing) of an electronic device is attached to the upper case (housing) by a snap fit, and is fixed by screws. The snap fit includes a projecting first engaging portion formed on the inner surface of the lower case and an arm-shaped second engaging portion having a hole formed in the peripheral portion of the upper case. In such a configuration, the lower case is attached to the upper case by fitting the second engagement portion into the first engagement portion. Then, a screw is screwed from below the lower case upward, and the lower case is fixed to the upper case (see Patent Document 1).

特開２００３−２３９９２０号公報JP 2003-239920 A

上述したハウジングの取付構造は、スナップフィットの取付方向とネジの締結方向が異なるため、下側ケースと上側ケースとの取付位置精度が出し難い。このため、下側ケースと上側ケースとがずれて取り付けられたり、隙間が開いてしまう場合がある。   In the housing mounting structure described above, since the snap fitting mounting direction and the screw fastening direction are different, it is difficult to obtain the mounting position accuracy between the lower case and the upper case. For this reason, the lower case and the upper case may be attached with a shift or a gap may be opened.

本発明は、上記のような課題に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は、第１のハウジングに対し第２のハウジングを高精度に取り付けることができるハウジング取付構造及びそのハウジング取付構造を備えたハウジング構造並びにそのハウジング構造を備えた電子機器を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the problems as described above, and an object thereof is to provide a housing mounting structure capable of mounting the second housing to the first housing with high accuracy and the housing mounting structure.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the boss portion 16 is divided into two forks so as to protrude downward at the lower portion of the front surface of the slot housing 103. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the boss hole portion 17 is formed so as to face upward at the upper part of the front surface of the middle housing 102.

このような構成において、係止手段１２を係止する場合は、図４及び図５に示すように、スロットハウジング１０３をミドルハウジング１０２の前面側から差し込み、ミドルハウジング１０２のボス穴部１７の上方にてスロットハウジング１０３のボス部１６を位置合わせしてスロットハウジング１０３を降下させる。そして、図７及び図９に示すように、ボス穴部１７にボス部１６を嵌め込む。このとき、ボス部１６は、ボス穴部１７の縁部で一旦閉じた後にボス穴部１７の内部で開こうとするので、ミドルハウジング１０２に対するスロットハウジング１０３を二股の開拡方向の力により位置決め固定することができる。そして、ミドルハウジング１０２に対するスロットハウジング１０３の取付位置精度を出す左右方向に係止可能、即ちスロットハウジング１０３をミドルハウジング１０２に対して左右に移動しないように位置調整可能な係止手段１２をハウジング前部の中央内部に設けているので、ミドルハウジング１０２に対するスロットハウジング１０３の取付け位置精度を高めることができる。即ち、各締結手段１１と係止手段１２により、直交二方向のミドルハウジング１０２に対するスロットハウジング１０３の取付位置精度を高めることができる。   In such a configuration, when the locking means 12 is locked, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the slot housing 103 is inserted from the front side of the middle housing 102 and above the boss hole 17 of the middle housing 102. The boss portion 16 of the slot housing 103 is aligned and the slot housing 103 is lowered. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the boss portion 16 is fitted into the boss hole portion 17. At this time, since the boss portion 16 is once closed at the edge portion of the boss hole portion 17 and tries to open inside the boss hole portion 17, the slot housing 103 with respect to the middle housing 102 is positioned by the force in the bifurcating direction. Can be fixed. Then, the locking means 12 can be locked in the left-right direction to obtain the mounting position accuracy of the slot housing 103 with respect to the middle housing 102, that is, the locking means 12 can be adjusted so that the slot housing 103 does not move to the left and right with respect to the middle housing 102. Since it is provided inside the center of the section, the accuracy of the mounting position of the slot housing 103 with respect to the middle housing 102 can be improved. That is, the fastening position accuracy of the slot housing 103 with respect to the middle housing 102 in two orthogonal directions can be increased by the fastening means 11 and the locking means 12.

尚、上述した実施形態では、締結手段１１はミドルハウジング１０２とスロットハウジング１０３の前面側の両側と中央に設け、係止手段１２はミドルハウジング１０２とスロットハウジング１０３の前面側の中央内部に設けたが、これに限定されるものでは無く、直交二方向に締結及び係止するように、任意の場所に任意の数設けても良い。   In the above-described embodiment, the fastening means 11 is provided at both sides and the center of the front side of the middle housing 102 and the slot housing 103, and the locking means 12 is provided at the center inside of the middle housing 102 and the front side of the slot housing 103. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any number may be provided at any place so as to be fastened and locked in two orthogonal directions.
