ところで、近年の携帯電子機器においては、ますます折り畳んだ状態での小型・薄型化が図られており、上筐体および下筐体の薄型化が進んでいる。また、携帯電子機器の使用形態の多様化から、携帯電子機器に静止画および動画が撮影可能なカメラユニットが設けられるようになってきた。
しかしながら、カメラユニットは機能上の理由から、光軸方向寸法である厚み寸法を一定以下に薄型化できないという制約がある。このため、従来の携帯電子機器のように、カメラ収納部を下筐体または上筐体のいずれかに設けてカメラユニットを収納した場合に、閉じた状態の外面からカメラユニットが突出してしまい、全体の薄型化を図ることができないという不都合がある。 By the way, in recent portable electronic devices, miniaturization and thinning in a folded state have been promoted, and the thinning of the upper housing and the lower housing has been progressing. In addition, with the diversification of usage forms of portable electronic devices, camera units capable of shooting still images and moving images have been provided in portable electronic devices.
However, the camera unit has a limitation that the thickness dimension, which is the dimension in the optical axis direction, cannot be reduced below a certain level for functional reasons. For this reason, like a conventional portable electronic device, when the camera storage unit is provided in either the lower housing or the upper housing and the camera unit is stored, the camera unit protrudes from the outer surface in the closed state, There is an inconvenience that the overall thickness cannot be reduced.

本発明は、前述した不都合を解消するためになされたものであり、その目的は、閉じ状態において薄型化できる携帯電子機器を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described disadvantages, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable electronic device that can be thinned in a closed state.

If so, the second protrusion 32 does not protrude in the closed state.

さらに、第１筐体２０における第１凸部２２側の端部にアンテナ２８を収容する第３凸部２９を設けたので、アンテナ特性を向上させることができる。 Furthermore, since the 3rd convex part 29 which accommodates the antenna 28 was provided in the edge part by the side of the 1st convex part 22 in the 1st housing | casing 20, an antenna characteristic can be improved.

また、アンテナ２８を収容する第３凸部２９が、連結軸４０の軸線と平行な線を中心として第１筐体２０に対して回動可能であるので、閉じ状態および開き状態において、それぞれ最適なアンテナ特性が得られることとなる。
さらに、第３凸部２９が第１筐体２０に対して回動可能であるので、携帯端末１０を電話として使用するにあたって、使用者の頭部からアンテナ２８を遠ざけることができ、ＳＡＲ（specific absorption rate）対策として有効である。 Further, since the third convex portion 29 that accommodates the antenna 28 can be rotated with respect to the first housing 20 around a line parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 40, it is optimal in the closed state and the open state, respectively. Antenna characteristics can be obtained.
Furthermore, since the 3rd convex part 29 can be rotated with respect to the 1st housing | casing 20, when using the portable terminal 10 as a telephone, the antenna 28 can be kept away from a user's head, SAR (specific) It is effective as a countermeasure against absorption rate).

そして、第１筐体２０および第２筐体３０が相対的に積層された閉じ状態から、連結軸４０を中心として第１筐体２０および第２筐体３０が相対的に回動する開き状態に移行させるためのワンプッシュオープナ機構を設けたので、第１筐体２０に設けられた操作ボタンである第３凸部２９を操作することにより、容易に開き状態が得られる。 Then, from the closed state in which the first casing 20 and the second casing 30 are relatively stacked, the first casing 20 and the second casing 30 are rotated relative to each other about the connecting shaft 40. Since the one-push opener mechanism for shifting to is provided, the open state can be easily obtained by operating the third convex portion 29 which is an operation button provided on the first housing 20.

さらに、第３凸部２９が、連結軸４０の軸線と平行な線を中心として第１筐体２０に対して回動可能であるので、使用者が右手あるいは左手でワンプッシュオープナの第３凸部２９を操作しても、使用感の差が生じないので、操作性が改善される。
また、第２筐体３０に設けた凹部３４として貫通した切欠き３５を設けたので、第３凸部２９を指で操作する際に、指と第２筐体３０とが干渉しない。 Further, since the third convex portion 29 is rotatable with respect to the first housing 20 around a line parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 40, the user can use the third convex portion of the one-push opener with the right hand or the left hand. Even if the unit 29 is operated, a difference in feeling of use does not occur, so that operability is improved.
Moreover, since the notch 35 penetrated as the recessed part 34 provided in the 2nd housing | casing 30 was provided, when operating the 3rd convex part 29 with a finger, a finger and the 2nd housing | casing 30 do not interfere.

なお、本発明の携帯電子機器は、前述した実施形態に限定されるものでなく、適宜な変形，改良等が可能である。
例えば、前述した実施形態において、第２筐体３０に設ける凹部３４として、貫通した切欠き３５を設けた場合を例示したが、図６に示すように、凹部３４として貫通せずに凹んだ窪み３７とすることもできる。この場合にも、前述した切欠き３５の場合と同様に、薄型化を図ることができるとともに、表面をフラット化できる。
そして、第３凸部２９が第１筐体２０に対して回動可能であるとともに、凹部３４として凹んだ窪み３７であるため、窪み３７の底部が電磁波の遮蔽物となり、凹部３４が貫通している場合に比較して、さらに有効なＳＡＲ（specific absorption rate）対策となる。 Note that the portable electronic device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and appropriate modifications and improvements can be made.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the notch 35 penetrating is provided as the recess 34 provided in the second housing 30 is illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. 37 can also be used. Also in this case, as in the case of the notch 35 described above, the thickness can be reduced and the surface can be flattened.
And since the 3rd convex part 29 is the hollow 37 recessed as the recessed part 34 while it can rotate with respect to the 1st housing | casing 20, the bottom part of the hollow 37 becomes a shield of electromagnetic waves, and the recessed part 34 penetrates. This is a more effective SAR (specific absorption rate) measure compared to the case of the above.

さらに、前述した実施形態において、第１凸部２２と第２凸部２３とが連続して設けられた場合を例示したが、図７に示すように、第１凸部２２と第２凸部２３とを別体に設けることもできる。この場合にも、前述した実施形態の場合と同様に、薄型化を図ることができる。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the first convex portion 22 and the second convex portion 23 are provided continuously is illustrated, but as shown in FIG. 7, the first convex portion 22 and the second convex portion. 23 may be provided separately. Also in this case, the thickness can be reduced as in the case of the above-described embodiment.

また、本発明の第３凸部は、前述した実施形態において例示した回動する形態に限らず、例えば第１筐体に対して進退する押下ボタンの形態でもよい。 Moreover, the 3rd convex part of this invention is not restricted to the form which rotated illustrated in embodiment mentioned above, For example, the form of the push button which advances / retreats with respect to a 1st housing | casing may be sufficient.
