Description

本発明は、第１筐体および第２筐体が連結部により、折り畳み可能に連結された携帯端末に関する。 The present invention relates to a mobile terminal in which a first housing and a second housing are connected to each other by a connecting portion so as to be foldable.

携帯電話などの携帯端末において、従来より２つの筐体が連結部を介して回動自在に連結された折りたたみ式タイプのものが広く普及している。例えば、下筐体（第１筐体）は、携帯端末を使用する際に、使用者が手で保持するもので、表面に入力キーおよび機能キーを多数備えた操作部が設けられており、上筐体（第２筐体）には、表示部（ＬＣＤ）が設けたものが知られている。
一方、特許文献１によれば、下筐体（第１の筐体）、連結部（第２の筐体）、上筐体（第３の筐体）を有しており、下筐体に連結部を開閉自在に連結する第１のヒンジと、連結部に上筐体を第１のヒンジによる連結部の開閉方向と直交する方向へ開閉自在に連結する第２のヒンジを有している。そして、連結部および上筐体を閉じた状態で、第１のヒンジの作動を許容し、第２のヒンジの作動を規制する開閉規制手段を有している。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a portable terminal such as a mobile phone, a foldable type in which two casings are rotatably connected via a connecting portion has been widely used. For example, the lower housing (first housing) is held by the user's hand when using the mobile terminal, and has an operation unit provided with a large number of input keys and function keys on the surface. An upper casing (second casing) provided with a display unit (LCD) is known.
On the other hand, according to Patent Document 1, it has a lower housing (first housing), a connecting portion (second housing), and an upper housing (third housing). A first hinge for connecting the connecting portion so as to be openable and closable; and a second hinge for connecting the upper housing to the connecting portion so as to be openable and closable in a direction orthogonal to the opening and closing direction of the connecting portion by the first hinge. . And it has the opening-and-closing control means which accept | permits the action | operation of a 1st hinge and restrict | limits the action | operation of a 2nd hinge in the state which closed the connection part and the upper housing | casing.

この携帯端末によれば、上筐体および下筐体を閉じた状態から連結部に設けられている第１のヒンジを中心として上筐体および下筐体を回動させることで、いわゆる縦開きの操作が可能になるとともに、上筐体および下筐体を閉じた状態から連結部に設けられている第２のヒンジを中心として上筐体および下筐体を回動させることで、いわゆる横開きの操作が可能である。
特開２００５−２１６１５８号公報 According to this mobile terminal, the upper casing and the lower casing are rotated around the first hinge provided in the connecting portion from the state where the upper casing and the lower casing are closed. By rotating the upper and lower casings around the second hinge provided in the connecting portion from the closed state of the upper and lower casings. Opening operation is possible.
JP 2005-216158 A

このような携帯端末では、上筐体および下筐体を縦開きする場合には、上筐体を閉じて連結部と一体にして、第１のヒンジを中心として開く。このため、開閉規制手段により、上筐体が連結部から離脱するのを防止して、上筐体が第２のヒンジを中心として開かないようにしている。
しかしながら、前述した開閉規制手段では、連結部に設けられているソレノイドによって往復移動する軸体のみにより上筐体の開閉を規制するものであり、位置まで規制するものではないため、縦に開いた状態の上筐体に外力が作用すると第２のヒンジで外力に抵抗することになり、不安定でぐらつくという問題がある。例えば、縦開き状態で通話を行うような場合、ユーザーの耳をレシーバに押し当てることにより、さらに縦開き方向（第１のヒンジを中心として回動する方向）の開き角度が大きくなるよう外力が加わることが多い。さらに、上筐体の幅方向一端側に第２のヒンジが連結されているため、一層不安定である。また、第２のヒンジに外力が集中してしまう。 In such a portable terminal, when the upper casing and the lower casing are vertically opened, the upper casing is closed and integrated with the connecting portion, and is opened around the first hinge. For this reason, the upper casing is prevented from being detached from the connecting portion by the opening / closing restricting means so that the upper casing does not open around the second hinge.
However, in the opening / closing restriction means described above, the opening / closing of the upper housing is restricted only by the shaft body reciprocally moved by the solenoid provided in the connecting portion, and is not restricted to the position. When an external force acts on the upper casing in the state, the second hinge resists the external force, which causes a problem of being unstable and wobbled. For example, when a call is made in a vertically open state, an external force is applied so that the opening angle in the vertical opening direction (the direction of rotation about the first hinge) is further increased by pressing the user's ear against the receiver. Often joins. Further, since the second hinge is connected to one end side in the width direction of the upper housing, it is further unstable. Further, external force concentrates on the second hinge.

本発明は、前記課題を解決するためになされたもので、その目的は、縦開き状態において上筐体を安定して維持するとともに、外力が上筐体を連結部に回動自在に支持している回動軸に集中しない携帯端末を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. The object of the present invention is to stably maintain the upper housing in the vertically opened state, and to support the upper housing so that the upper housing can rotate freely on the connecting portion. The object is to provide a portable terminal that does not concentrate on the rotating shaft.

また、本発明の携帯端末は、操作部を備えた第１筐体と、表示部を備えた第２筐体と、前記第１筐体と前記第２筐体とを回動可能に連結する連結部と、を備えた携帯端末において、前記連結部は、前記第１筐体に連結されて第１回動軸を中心に前記第１筐体に対して回動する第１回動軸部材と、前記第２筐体の短手方向端部に連結されて前記第１回動軸と直交する第２回動軸を中心に前記第２筐体に対して回動する第２回動軸部材とからなり、前記連結部は前記第２筐体と連結する面に複数の凸部で第１嵌合部を形成し、前記第２筐体は、前記連結部と連結する面に複数の凹み部で第２嵌合部を形成し、前記第２筐体が前記第２回転軸を中心として回動して前記連結部と前記連結面で重なったとき、前記第１嵌合部と前記第２嵌合部が嵌合するよう構成を有している。 Moreover, the portable terminal of this invention connects the 1st housing | casing provided with the operation part, the 2nd housing | casing provided with the display part, and the said 1st housing | casing and the said 2nd housing | casing so that rotation is possible. In the portable terminal including the connecting portion, the connecting portion is connected to the first housing and rotates about the first rotating shaft with respect to the first housing. And a second rotation shaft that is connected to an end portion in the short direction of the second housing and rotates with respect to the second housing about a second rotation shaft that is orthogonal to the first rotation shaft. A first fitting portion is formed by a plurality of convex portions on a surface connected to the second housing, and the second housing is formed on the surface connected to the connecting portion. A second fitting portion is formed by the recess, and when the second casing rotates around the second rotation axis and overlaps the connecting portion and the connecting surface, the first fitting portion and the The second fitting part fits It has a configuration like.

なお、ここで、第１回動軸および第２回動軸とは、第１筐体および第２筐体が閉じ状態から縦開き状態あるいは横開き状態に移行する際の第１筐体および第２筐体の回転中心線の方向を指す。
この構成によれば、第１筐体および第２筐体が第２回動軸を中心として回動して閉じたとき、すなわち連結部と連結面で重なったとき、連結部に設けられた複数の第１嵌合部と第２筐体に設けられた複数の第２嵌合部とが嵌合する。これにより、第１筐体および第２筐体が横開きに開いた状態から第２回動軸を軸にして閉じたときに、第２嵌合部に第１嵌合部が嵌合するので、連結部に対して第２筐体を規定位置に確実に案内できる。この際、第１嵌合部として凸部が複数設けられ、および第２嵌合部として複数の凹み部が複数設けられているので、閉じた状態の上筐体に外力が作用した際に分力して、第２回動軸に作用する力を減少させることができる。 Here, the first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft are the first housing and the second rotation shaft when the first housing and the second housing are shifted from the closed state to the vertically opened state or the horizontally opened state. It refers to the direction of the rotation center line of the two cases.
According to this configuration, when the first casing and the second casing are rotated and closed about the second rotation axis, that is, when the first casing and the second casing are overlapped with the connecting portion on the connecting surface, a plurality of portions provided in the connecting portion are provided. The first fitting portion and the plurality of second fitting portions provided in the second housing are fitted. As a result, when the first housing and the second housing are opened from the side to the second rotating shaft, the first fitting portion is fitted to the second fitting portion. The second housing can be reliably guided to the specified position with respect to the connecting portion. At this time, since a plurality of convex portions are provided as the first fitting portion and a plurality of concave portions are provided as the second fitting portion, it is separated when an external force is applied to the upper casing in the closed state. Thus, the force acting on the second rotation shaft can be reduced.

また、本発明の携帯端末は、操作部を備えた第１筐体と、表示部を備えた第２筐体と、前記第１筐体と前記第２筐体とを回動可能に連結する連結部と、を備えた携帯端末において、前記連結部は、前記第１筐体に連結されて第１回動軸を中心に前記第１筐体に対して回動する第１回動軸部材と、前記第２筐体の短手方向端部に連結されて前記第１回動軸と直交する第２回動軸を中心に前記第２筐体に対して回動する第２回動軸部材とからなり、前記連結部は前記第２筐体と連結する面に第１嵌合部を形成し、前記第２筐体は、前記連結部と連結する面に第２嵌合部を形成し、前記第１嵌合部と第２嵌合部の少なくとも一方において、長手方向の第２回動軸に近い側の角部に傾斜面を設け、前記第２筐体が前記第２回転軸を中心として回動して前記連結部と前記連結面で重なったとき、前記第１嵌合部と前記第２嵌合部が嵌合するよう構成を有している。 Moreover, the portable terminal of this invention connects the 1st housing | casing provided with the operation part, the 2nd housing | casing provided with the display part, and the said 1st housing | casing and the said 2nd housing | casing so that rotation is possible. In the portable terminal including the connecting portion, the connecting portion is connected to the first housing and rotates about the first rotating shaft with respect to the first housing. And a second rotation shaft that is connected to an end portion in the short direction of the second housing and rotates with respect to the second housing about a second rotation shaft that is orthogonal to the first rotation shaft. The connecting portion forms a first fitting portion on a surface connecting to the second housing, and the second housing forms a second fitting portion on a surface connecting to the connecting portion. In at least one of the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, an inclined surface is provided at a corner portion on the side close to the second rotation axis in the longitudinal direction, and the second casing is the second rotation shaft. Rotate around When overlapping with the connecting surface and the serial connection section, said second fitting portion and said first fitting portion has a configuration to fit.

この構成によれば、第１筐体および第２筐体が第２回動軸を中心として回動して閉じたとき、すなわち連結部と連結面で重なったとき、連結部に設けられた第１嵌合部と第２筐体に設けられた第２嵌合部とが嵌合する。これにより、第１筐体および第２筐体が横開きに開いた状態から第２回動軸を軸にして閉じたときに、第２嵌合部に第１嵌合部が嵌合するので、連結部に対して第２筐体を規定位置に確実に案内できる。この際、第１嵌合部および第２嵌合部の少なくとも一方において、長手方向の第２回動軸に近い側の角部に傾斜面を設けたので、第１嵌合部が第２嵌合部に嵌合する際に、スムーズに嵌合することができる。 According to this configuration, when the first casing and the second casing are rotated and closed about the second rotation axis, that is, when the first casing and the second casing overlap with the connecting portion on the connecting surface, the first casing and the second casing are provided on the connecting portion. 1 fitting part and the 2nd fitting part provided in the 2nd housing | casing fit. As a result, when the first housing and the second housing are opened from the side to the second rotating shaft, the first fitting portion is fitted to the second fitting portion. The second housing can be reliably guided to the specified position with respect to the connecting portion. At this time, since at least one of the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion is provided with an inclined surface at the corner portion on the side close to the second rotation axis in the longitudinal direction, the first fitting portion is the second fitting portion. When fitting into the joint, it can be smoothly fitted.

また、本発明の携帯端末は、前記連結部において、前記第２筐体と連結する面に誘い込み面を形成した構成を有している。 Moreover, the portable terminal of this invention has the structure which formed the guidance surface in the surface connected with the said 2nd housing | casing in the said connection part.

この構成によれば、横開きの状態から第２筐体を閉じる際に、第１嵌合部が第２嵌合部に嵌合するとき、第２筐体が連結部の誘い込み面に当接するので、第２回動軸への衝撃を緩和することができる。 According to this configuration, when the second housing is closed from the laterally open state, when the first fitting portion is fitted to the second fitting portion, the second housing comes into contact with the guiding surface of the connecting portion. Therefore, the impact on the second rotating shaft can be reduced.

本発明の携帯端末によれば、第１筐体および第２筐体が第２回動軸を中心として回動して閉じたとき、連結部に設けられた第１嵌合部と第２筐体に設けられた第２嵌合部とが嵌合する。これにより、第１筐体および第２筐体が横開きに開いた状態から第２回動軸を軸にして閉じたときに、第２嵌合部に第１嵌合部が嵌合するので、連結部に対して第２筐体を規定位置に案内できる。この際、第２嵌合部の長手方向中央部に長手方向と直交する方向に交差するリブを設けたので、第２嵌合部の変形を抑えて、第１嵌合部と第２嵌合部とが、確実に嵌合することができ、閉じた状態の上筐体に外力が作用した際に、第２回動軸に作用する力を減少させることができる。 According to the portable terminal of the present invention, when the first casing and the second casing are rotated around the second rotation axis and closed, the first fitting portion and the second casing provided in the connecting portion are provided. The 2nd fitting part provided in the body fits. As a result, when the first housing and the second housing are opened from the side to the second rotating shaft, the first fitting portion is fitted to the second fitting portion. The second housing can be guided to the specified position with respect to the connecting portion. At this time, since the rib intersecting the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided at the longitudinal center of the second fitting part, the deformation of the second fitting part is suppressed, and the first fitting part and the second fitting are suppressed. When the external force acts on the upper casing in the closed state, the force acting on the second rotating shaft can be reduced.

案内保持部１５は、上筐体１２が閉じた状態のときに内側となる面における連結部側の端部(以下、「上筐体基部」という)に設けられた凹み部４４と、連結部１３の上筐体連結面３３Ｂに設けられた凸部４１とからなる。凹み部４４の長手方向中央部には、凹み部４４の長手方向に対して交差する方向に沿うリブ４４ａが設けられている。凸部４１は案内部４２と案内爪部４３により略Ｌ字形に一体形成されており、凹み部４４のリブ４４ａと間衝止ないように２つの凸部４１ａ、４１ｂに分離されて、両凸部４１ａ、４１ｂ間には隙間４１ｃが形成されている。従って、上筐体１２を横開き方向に閉じると、図６に示すように、案内爪部４３が凹み部４４と嵌合するよう構成されている。 The guide holding unit 15 includes a recess 44 provided at an end portion on the connecting portion side (hereinafter referred to as “upper housing base”) on the inner surface when the upper housing 12 is closed, and a connecting portion. 13 and a convex portion 41 provided on the upper housing connecting surface 33B. A rib 44 a is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the recess 44 along the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the recess 44. The convex portion 41 is integrally formed in a substantially L shape by the guide portion 42 and the guide claw portion 43, and is separated into two convex portions 41a and 41b so as not to be in contact with the rib 44a of the concave portion 44. A gap 41c is formed between the portions 41a and 41b. Therefore, when the upper housing 12 is closed in the lateral opening direction, the guide claw portion 43 is configured to be engaged with the recessed portion 44 as shown in FIG.

この構成により、下筐体１１および上筐体１２が横開きに開いた状態から、図３（Ａ）に示す第２回動軸３２を軸にして矢印の方向に閉じたときに、凹み部４４に案内爪部４３を係合させて、上筐体基部４６を第１回動部材３３に対する規定位置に案内できる。この際、凹み部４４の長手方向中央部に長手方向と直交する方向に交差するリブ４４ａを設けたので、凹み部４４の変形を抑えて、凸部４１と凹み部４４とが、確実に嵌合することができ、閉じた状態の上筐体１２に外力が作用した際に、第２回動軸３２に作用する力を減少させることができる。 With this configuration, when the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 are opened from the side, the recessed portion is closed in the direction of the arrow with the second rotation shaft 32 shown in FIG. The upper claw base portion 46 can be guided to a specified position with respect to the first rotating member 33 by engaging the guide claw portion 43 with the 44. At this time, since the rib 44a intersecting in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is provided at the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the concave portion 44, the deformation of the concave portion 44 is suppressed, and the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 44 are securely fitted. When the external force acts on the upper casing 12 in the closed state, the force acting on the second rotation shaft 32 can be reduced.

また、下筐体１１および上筐体１２を閉じた状態および縦開き状態において、上筐体基部４６および第１回動部材３３の相対位置を維持できる。
これにより、下筐体１１あるいは上筐体１２に外力が加わっても第２回動部材３４（図３（Ａ）参照）に負荷が集中することを防いで、第２回動部材３４が破損することを防止できる。 In addition, the relative positions of the upper casing base 46 and the first rotating member 33 can be maintained in a state where the lower casing 11 and the upper casing 12 are closed and in a vertically opened state.
This prevents the load from being concentrated on the second rotating member 34 (see FIG. 3A) even if an external force is applied to the lower casing 11 or the upper casing 12, and the second rotating member 34 is damaged. Can be prevented.

加えて、下筐体１１および上筐体１２を閉じた状態において、上筐体基部および第１回動部材３３とを係合させることで、第２回動軸３２を中心として捩れが生じることを防止できる。 In addition, when the lower casing 11 and the upper casing 12 are closed, the upper casing base and the first rotating member 33 are engaged to cause twisting about the second rotating shaft 32. Can be prevented.

凸部４１は、連結部１３に一体に形成されている。凸部４１を連結部１３に一体に形成することで、凸部４１を別途個別に設ける必要がない。 The convex portion 41 is formed integrally with the connecting portion 13. By forming the convex part 41 integrally with the connection part 13, it is not necessary to provide the convex part 41 separately separately.

凹み部４４は、上筐体１２に一体に形成されている。凹み部４４が上筐体１２に一体に形成されているので、凹み部４４を別途個別に設ける必要がない。 The recess 44 is formed integrally with the upper housing 12. Since the recess 44 is formed integrally with the upper housing 12, it is not necessary to provide the recess 44 separately.

さらに、凸部４１は、連結部における上筐体１２に対面する端面において長手方向の中心４９を跨って所定の長さＬで形成されている。
凸部４４の長さＬに合わせて、凹み部４４も所定長さＬで形成されている。 Further, the convex portion 41 is formed with a predetermined length L across the center 49 in the longitudinal direction on the end surface of the connecting portion facing the upper housing 12.
In accordance with the length L of the convex portion 44, the concave portion 44 is also formed with a predetermined length L.

なお、図５（Ａ）においては、リブ４４ａに対応して凸部４１を２分割（４１ａ、４１ｂ）した場合を示したが、一体としてリブ４４ａに対応する位置に切欠きを設けるようにすることもできる。また、リブ４４ａを凹み部４４の短辺方向全幅に矩形状でも受けた場合を示したが、図５（Ｂ）に示すように、三角形状に設けることもできる。
また、図５（Ａ）においては、凹み部４４および凸部４１を一箇所にも受けた場合を示したが、図５（Ｃ）に示すように、凹み部４４Ａ、４４Ｂおよび凸部（図示省略）を複数（ここでは２箇所）設けるようにすることもできる。この場合には、一箇所当たりの凹み部４４の幅ｌを小さくすることができるので、リブ４４ａを設ける必要がない。 5A shows the case where the convex portion 41 is divided into two parts (41a, 41b) corresponding to the ribs 44a, but a notch is provided at a position corresponding to the ribs 44a as a unit. You can also. Moreover, although the case where the rib 44a was received also in the rectangular shape in the full width in the short side direction of the dent portion 44 is shown, it can be provided in a triangular shape as shown in FIG.
5A shows the case where the recess 44 and the protrusion 41 are received even at one place, but as shown in FIG. 5C, the recesses 44A and 44B and the protrusion (illustrated) are shown. A plurality of (omitted) may be provided (here, two locations). In this case, the width l of the recessed portion 44 per place can be reduced, so that it is not necessary to provide the rib 44a.

つぎに、係止部１６を図３〜図４に基づいて詳しく説明する。
係止部１６は、図４に示すように、連結部１３の上筐体連結面３３Ｂにおいて、一対の係合部が設けられて上筐体１２を係止するものである。 Next, the locking portion 16 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, the engaging portion 16 is provided with a pair of engaging portions on the upper housing connecting surface 33 B of the connecting portion 13 to lock the upper housing 12.

一対の係合部のうち、一方の係合部としてのロックボタン５１が上筐体１２の側部１２Ａに、図３（Ｂ）に示す矢印Ａ−Ｂ方向（上筐体１２の長手方向）にスライド自在に設けられている。ロックボタン５１はリターンスプリング５４で閉位置に保持されている。 Of the pair of engaging portions, the lock button 51 as one engaging portion is provided on the side portion 12A of the upper housing 12 in the direction of arrows AB (the longitudinal direction of the upper housing 12) shown in FIG. Is slidably provided. The lock button 51 is held in a closed position by a return spring 54.

一対の係合部のうち、他方の係合部としての係合孔５２は、連結部１３の上筐体連結面３３Ｂにおいて、上筐体連結部と長手方向の反対側の端部に形成されている。
ロックボタン５１をリターンスプリング５４のばね力に抗して矢印Ｂ方向にスライド移動させることで、ロックボタン５１が係合孔５２から外れる。これにより、上筐体１２を手動で第２回動軸３２を中心にして横に開くことができる。 Of the pair of engaging portions, the engaging hole 52 as the other engaging portion is formed on the upper housing connecting surface 33B of the connecting portion 13 at the end opposite to the upper housing connecting portion in the longitudinal direction. ing.
The lock button 51 is detached from the engagement hole 52 by sliding the lock button 51 in the arrow B direction against the spring force of the return spring 54. Thereby, the upper housing 12 can be manually opened laterally around the second rotation shaft 32.

上筐体１２と下筐体１１が重なった状態（連結部１３における上筐体連結面３３Ｂと上筐体１２が重なる状態）において、ロックボタン５１がリターンスプリング５４のばね力で矢印Ａ方向にスライド移動して、ロックボタン５１が係合孔５２に係止する。 In a state where the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11 overlap (the upper housing connecting surface 33B of the connecting portion 13 and the upper housing 12 overlap), the lock button 51 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the spring force of the return spring 54. The lock button 51 is engaged with the engagement hole 52 by sliding.

よって、連結部１３の上筐体連結面３３Ｂに上筐体１２が重なった状態において、第２回動軸部３４の回動が一対の係合部で規制される。
この構成により、上筐体１２と下筐体１１とが重なる閉状態において、一対の係合部５１、５２による係合を外さない限り、第２回動軸を中心とする回動が規制され、不用意に第２筐体が第２回動軸まわりに回動することを防ぐことができる。 Therefore, in the state where the upper housing 12 overlaps the upper housing connecting surface 33B of the connecting portion 13, the rotation of the second rotating shaft portion 34 is restricted by the pair of engaging portions.
With this configuration, in the closed state where the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11 overlap, unless the engagement by the pair of engaging portions 51 and 52 is disengaged, the rotation around the second rotation axis is restricted. Inadvertent rotation of the second housing around the second rotation axis can be prevented.

FIG. 7A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a convex portion and a concave portion when the upper casing is opened laterally in the portable terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7B is a side view of the upper casing. FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the connecting portion, and FIG. 8B is a side view showing the connecting portion when the upper housing is closed. FIG. . In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the site | part which is common in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

図７（Ａ）および（Ｂ）に示すように、第２実施形態にかかる携帯端末１０Ｂでは、第１嵌合部である凸部４１および第２嵌合部である凹み部４４のうちの少なくとも一方（ここでは両方）における第２回動軸３２に近い側の角部に傾斜面６１、６２を設けたものである。 As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the mobile terminal 10 B according to the second embodiment, at least of the convex portion 41 that is the first fitting portion and the concave portion 44 that is the second fitting portion. On one side (both here), inclined surfaces 61 and 62 are provided at the corners closer to the second rotation shaft 32.

この構成によれば、下筐体１１および上筐体１２が第２回動軸３２を中心として回動して閉じたとき、連結部１３に設けられた凸部４１と下筐体１２に設けられた凹み部４４とが嵌合する際に、凸部４１および凹み部４４の少なくとも一方には角部に傾斜面６１，６２が設けられているので、凸部４１が凹み部４４に嵌合する際に、仮に第２回動軸３２においてガタが生じ、凸部４１と凹み部４４とが多少ずれた場合でもスムーズに嵌合することができる。また、凸部４１と凹み部４４との嵌合状態を隙間を設けずに多少きつくしても、傾斜面６１、６２に沿って嵌合することができ、上筐体１２を下筐体１１の規定位置に確実に納めることができる。 According to this configuration, when the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 are rotated about the second rotation shaft 32 and closed, the protrusion 41 provided on the connecting portion 13 and the lower housing 12 are provided. Since the inclined surfaces 61 and 62 are provided at the corners of at least one of the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 44 when the concave portion 44 is fitted, the convex portion 41 is fitted into the concave portion 44. In doing so, even if the play occurs on the second rotation shaft 32 and the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 44 are slightly deviated from each other, the fitting can be smoothly performed. Further, even if the fitting state between the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 44 is somewhat tight without providing a gap, the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 44 can be fitted along the inclined surfaces 61 and 62, and the upper housing 12 can be fitted to the lower housing 11. It can be securely placed in the specified position.

なお、凸部４１側に傾斜面６１を設けるのが望ましい。
また、図７（Ａ）および（Ｂ）に示すように、凸部４１および凹み部４４の第２回動軸３２側の角部のみならず、反対側の角部にも傾斜面６３、６４を設けることが望ましい。これにより、一層スムーズに嵌合することができる。
また、傾斜面６１、６２は、平面（Ｃ面）またはＲ形状に形成することができる。 It is desirable to provide the inclined surface 61 on the convex portion 41 side.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the inclined surfaces 63 and 64 are formed not only on the corners on the second rotating shaft 32 side of the convex portions 41 and the concave portions 44 but also on the opposite corner portions. It is desirable to provide Thereby, it can fit more smoothly.
The inclined surfaces 61 and 62 can be formed in a flat surface (C surface) or an R shape.

また、図８に示すように、連結部１３において上筐体１２と連結する面に誘い込み面６５を設けた。誘い込み面６５は、図８に示すように、上向きに傾斜した傾斜面とすることができ、これに対応して、上筐体１２の連結部１３側端面における第２回動軸３２から遠い側の端部にも、傾斜面６６を設けるようにする。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a guiding surface 65 is provided on a surface of the connecting portion 13 that is connected to the upper housing 12. As shown in FIG. 8, the guiding surface 65 can be an inclined surface that is inclined upward. Correspondingly, the end surface on the side of the connecting portion 13 of the upper housing 12 on the side farther from the second rotation shaft 32. An inclined surface 66 is also provided at the end portion of each.

この構成によれば、横開きの状態から上筐体１２を閉じる際に、凸部４１が凹み部４４に嵌合するとき、上筐体１２の傾斜面６６が連結部１３の誘い込み面６５に当接するので、第２回動軸３２への衝撃を緩和することができる。なお、誘い込み面６５は、連結部１３において第２回動軸３２から遠い側に設けるのが効果的である。 According to this configuration, when the upper casing 12 is closed from the side-opened state, when the convex portion 41 is fitted into the concave portion 44, the inclined surface 66 of the upper casing 12 is brought into the guiding surface 65 of the connecting portion 13. Since it contacts, the impact to the 2nd rotating shaft 32 can be relieved. In addition, it is effective to provide the guide surface 65 on the side far from the second rotation shaft 32 in the connecting portion 13.

（第３実施形態）
次に、本発明の第３実施形態に係る携帯端末について、図面を参照して説明する。
図９（Ａ）は第１嵌合部と第２嵌合部の嵌合状態を示す断面図、（Ｂ）は上筐体の先端に外力が作用した状態を示す概略側面図である。なお、前述した第１実施形態と共通する部位には同じ符号を付して、重複する説明を省略することとする。 (Third embodiment)
Next, a portable terminal according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view showing a fitting state of the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, and FIG. 9B is a schematic side view showing a state in which an external force is applied to the tip of the upper housing. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the site | part which is common in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

図９（Ａ）および（Ｂ）に示すように、第３実施形態にかかる携帯端末１０Ｃでは、下筐体１１および上筐体１２が第２回動軸３２を中心として回動して閉じたとき、すなわち連結部１３と上筐体連結面３３Ｂで重なったとき、凸部４１と上筐体１２に設けられた凹み部４４とが嵌合するよう構成し、表示部２８を備えた面における上筐体１２と連結部１３との間の第１隙間Ｄ１よりも、表示部２８を備えた面と反対側の面２９における上筐体１２と連結部１３との間の第２隙間Ｄ２が大きく構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, in the mobile terminal 10 C according to the third embodiment, the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 are turned around the second rotation shaft 32 and closed. When the connecting portion 13 and the upper housing connecting surface 33B overlap, the convex portion 41 and the recessed portion 44 provided in the upper housing 12 are configured to be fitted, and the surface provided with the display portion 28 The second gap D2 between the upper housing 12 and the connecting portion 13 on the surface 29 on the opposite side to the surface provided with the display portion 28 is more than the first gap D1 between the upper housing 12 and the connecting portion 13. It is composed largely.

この構成によれば、第１隙間Ｄ１よりも、第２隙間Ｄ２を大きくしたので、上筐体１２および下筐体１１が横開きに開いた状態から第２回動軸３２を軸にして閉じたときに、凹み部４４に凸部４１が嵌合する際に、上筐体１２と下筐体１１とを縦開き方向に過度に開こうとする外力Ｆが作用した際に（図９（Ｂ）参照）、第２隙間Ｄ２が変形を吸収して上筐体１２の変形を軽減する。これにより、上筐体１２に内蔵されている部品の変形量を少なくして、破損を防止することができる。 According to this configuration, since the second gap D2 is made larger than the first gap D1, the upper casing 12 and the lower casing 11 are closed from the state in which the upper casing 12 and the lower casing 11 are opened in the lateral direction. When the convex portion 41 is fitted into the concave portion 44, an external force F that excessively opens the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11 in the longitudinal opening direction is applied (FIG. 9 ( B)), the second gap D2 absorbs the deformation and reduces the deformation of the upper housing 12. Thereby, the deformation amount of the components built in the upper housing 12 can be reduced and damage can be prevented.

なお、本発明の携帯端末は、前述した各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、前述した各実施形態においては、連結部１３に凸部４１を設けるとともに上筐体１２に凹み部４４を設けた例について説明したが、これに限定するものではなく、連結部１３に凹み部４４を設けるとともに上筐体１２に凸部４１を設けてもよい。
また、本実施形態で例示した凸部４１、案内部４２、案内爪部４３および凹み部４４などの形状は適宜変更が可能である。 Note that the portable terminal of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and appropriate modifications and improvements can be made.
For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the convex portion 41 is provided in the connecting portion 13 and the concave portion 44 is provided in the upper housing 12 has been described. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the concave portion in the connecting portion 13 is provided. The convex portion 41 may be provided on the upper housing 12 while providing the portion 44.
In addition, the shapes of the convex portion 41, the guide portion 42, the guide claw portion 43, the concave portion 44, and the like exemplified in this embodiment can be changed as appropriate.

本発明は、第１筐体および第２筐体が第２回動軸を中心として回動して閉じたとき、連結部に設けられた第１嵌合部と第２筐体に設けられた第２嵌合部とが嵌合する。これにより、第１筐体および第２筐体が横開きに開いた状態から第２回動軸を軸にして閉じたときに、第２嵌合部に第１嵌合部が嵌合するので、連結部に対して第２筐体を規定位置に案内できる。この際、第２嵌合部の長手方向中央部に長手方向と直交する方向に交差するリブを設けたので、第２嵌合部の変形を抑えて、第１嵌合部と第２嵌合部とが、確実に嵌合することができ、閉じた状態の上筐体に外力が作用した際に、第２回動軸に作用する力を減少させることができ、第１筐体および第２筐体が連結部により回動可能に連結された携帯端末への適用に好適である。 In the present invention, when the first casing and the second casing are rotated around the second rotation axis and closed, the first fitting portion provided in the connecting portion and the second casing are provided. The second fitting portion is fitted. As a result, when the first housing and the second housing are opened from the side to the second rotating shaft, the first fitting portion is fitted to the second fitting portion. The second housing can be guided to the specified position with respect to the connecting portion. At this time, since the rib intersecting the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided at the longitudinal center of the second fitting part, the deformation of the second fitting part is suppressed, and the first fitting part and the second fitting are suppressed. When the external force is applied to the upper housing in the closed state, the force acting on the second rotation shaft can be reduced. It is suitable for application to a portable terminal in which two housings are rotatably connected by a connecting portion.
