At this time, the electrode arrangement body 12 that functions as a movable body is guided by the inclined portions 11b and 11b of the guide projections 11 and 11 that function as guide means, and is moved obliquely downward (direction C shown in the drawing). 7). At this time, the connection portions 17b and 17b are brought into sliding contact with the first surface portions 101a and 101a of the connection terminals 101 and 101 in accordance with the movement of the electrode arrangement body 12 in the C direction, so that a so-called self-cleaning function is exhibited. Dust and dust adhering to the terminals 101 and 101 or the electrode terminals 17 and 17 are removed. As the electrode arrangement body 12 moves in the C direction, the biasing spring 18 is shortened.

さらに電池１００がＢ方向へ移動されていくと、電極配置体１２はさらにＣ方向へ移動端まで移動される（図８参照）。   When the battery 100 is further moved in the B direction, the electrode arrangement body 12 is further moved in the C direction to the moving end (see FIG. 8).

上記のように電池１００を挿入した後、電池収納蓋５によって挿脱口４ｂを閉塞することにより電池１００が挿入部７に収納される。   After the battery 100 is inserted as described above, the battery 100 is stored in the insertion portion 7 by closing the insertion / removal port 4b with the battery storage lid 5.

電池１００の挿入部７からの取出は、電池収納蓋５によって挿脱口４ｂを開放したときに、付勢バネ１８によって電極配置体１２がＣ方向と反対のＤ方向へ移動され、電池１００が電極配置体１２に押圧されてＡ方向へ移動されることにより行われる。Ｄ方向へ移動された電極配置体１２はガイド突部１１、１１のストッパー基部１１ａ、１１ａに接触され、Ａ方向への移動が規制される。   When the battery housing lid 5 opens the insertion / removal port 4b, the battery 100 is removed from the insertion portion 7 by moving the electrode arrangement body 12 in the D direction opposite to the C direction by the biasing spring 18. It is performed by being pressed by the arrangement body 12 and moved in the A direction. The electrode arrangement body 12 moved in the D direction is brought into contact with the stopper base portions 11a and 11a of the guide protrusions 11 and 11, and the movement in the A direction is restricted.

電池１００がＡ方向へ移動されると、その一部が挿脱口４ｂから外方へ突出され、電池１００を挿入部７から引き出すことができる。   When the battery 100 is moved in the A direction, a part of the battery 100 protrudes outward from the insertion / removal port 4 b, and the battery 100 can be pulled out from the insertion portion 7.

以上に記載した通り、電子機器１にあっては、電池１００の先端面１００ａに対向して配置された電極配置体１２を設け、該電極配置体１２を電池１００の挿入部７への挿入方向に対して傾斜する方向へ移動させているため、電子機器１の厚み方向における大きさが大きくならず、良好なセルフクリーニング機能を確保したままで、電子機器１の薄型化を図ることができる。   As described above, in the electronic device 1, the electrode arrangement body 12 disposed to face the front end surface 100 a of the battery 100 is provided, and the electrode arrangement body 12 is inserted in the insertion portion 7 of the battery 100. Accordingly, the electronic device 1 is not increased in size in the thickness direction, and the electronic device 1 can be thinned while maintaining a good self-cleaning function.

また、上記には押圧移動体として電池１００を用いた例を示しているが、電池１００は、特に、携帯用の電子機器１において汎用されるものであり、本発明の適用により、薄型化の要求の高い携帯用の電子機器１の薄型化を図ることができる。   Moreover, although the example which used the battery 100 as the press moving body is shown above, the battery 100 is generally used in the portable electronic device 1 and is thinned by application of the present invention. The highly demanding portable electronic device 1 can be thinned.

さらに、回路基板６に切欠部６ａを形成し、該切欠部６ａに相当する部分を電池１００が挿入される挿入部７として形成しているため、挿入部７に回路基板６が存在しない分、電子機器１の薄型化を図ることができる。   Furthermore, since the notch 6a is formed in the circuit board 6 and the portion corresponding to the notch 6a is formed as the insertion part 7 into which the battery 100 is inserted, the circuit board 6 is not present in the insertion part 7, The electronic device 1 can be thinned.

尚、上記には、押圧移動体として電池１００を用いた例を示したが、押圧移動体は電池１００に限られることがなく、少なくとも先端面に接続端子を有しているものであれば何れのものであってもよい。押圧移動体としては、例えば、電池１００の他に、バッテリーやカード型の記憶媒体等が適用可能である。   In addition, although the example which used the battery 100 as the press moving body was shown above, the press moving body is not limited to the battery 100, and as long as it has a connection terminal at least on the front end surface, any It may be. For example, in addition to the battery 100, a battery, a card-type storage medium, or the like is applicable as the pressing moving body.
