Description

充電端子、カード端子、ヘッドホン端子等を覆う端子カバーを備えた携帯端末に関する。   The present invention relates to a mobile terminal including a terminal cover that covers a charging terminal, a card terminal, a headphone terminal, and the like.

従来より、携帯端末、特に携帯電話機は、機能性向上に伴い、多くの端子、例えば充電端子、カード端子、ヘッドホン端子等を搭載するようになってきた。そして、各端子は、端子カバーによって開閉自在に構成されることで、防塵されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, mobile terminals, particularly mobile phones, have been equipped with many terminals such as a charging terminal, a card terminal, a headphone terminal, and the like as the functionality is improved. Each terminal is protected from dust by being configured to be freely opened and closed by a terminal cover.

例えば、特許文献１では、携帯端末の外部接続端子部分において、端子カバーの取付時には本体にあるボスに傾斜面が当接し、端子カバーを押し込むと、弾性変形用穴の変形により、ボスが抜け止め用部分に位置することで、抜け止めされている。端子カバーを開く際には、ボスがガイド面に沿って移動すること引き出される。端子カバーを取り外す際には、抜止め用部分と、傾斜面と、先端面とを弾性変形させ、簡単に取り外すことができるようにしている。このことで、端子カバーが使用中に壊れたり、紛失するおそれがなく、しかも、簡単に取り外し可能に構成している。   For example, in Patent Document 1, in the external connection terminal portion of the portable terminal, when the terminal cover is attached, the inclined surface comes into contact with the boss in the main body, and when the terminal cover is pushed in, the boss is prevented from coming off due to the deformation of the elastic deformation hole. By being located in the part for use, it is prevented from coming off. When opening the terminal cover, the boss is pulled out along the guide surface. When removing the terminal cover, the retaining portion, the inclined surface, and the tip surface are elastically deformed so that they can be easily removed. As a result, the terminal cover can be easily removed without being broken or lost during use.

また、特許文献２の携帯端末の外部接続端子カバー構造では、外部接続端子部分を覆うためのカバー部材を筐体に保持する弾性端子部材の、筐体挿抜方向の移動を規制する機構（一対の爪とこの爪に係合するボス）の他に、当該挿抜方向にほぼ直交する方向の移動を規制する機構（第３の爪とストッパ及びアーム）を追加し、この直交方向への保持部材の弾性変形を防止している。
特開２００１−２１０９７２号公報 特開２００７−１１６５６２号公報 Moreover, in the external connection terminal cover structure of the portable terminal of patent document 2, a mechanism (a pair of controls) that restricts the movement of the elastic terminal member that holds the cover member for covering the external connection terminal portion in the housing in the housing insertion / extraction direction. In addition to the claw and the boss that engages the claw, a mechanism (third claw, stopper, and arm) that restricts movement in the direction substantially perpendicular to the insertion / extraction direction is added. Elastic deformation is prevented.

しかしながら、上記特許文献１及び２では、端子カバーの抜止め用部分の肉が薄いため、端子カバーの外れ止め効果が十分ではない。このため、意図せず端子カバーが外れると音もなく落下して紛失したことに気がつかないおそれがある。   However, in the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the thickness of the terminal cover retaining portion is thin, the effect of preventing the terminal cover from coming off is not sufficient. For this reason, if the terminal cover is unintentionally removed, it may not be noticed that it has been dropped and lost without sound.

本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、抜けにくく、挿入しやすい携帯端末用端子カバーを得ることにある。   This invention is made | formed in view of this point, The place made into the objective is to obtain the terminal cover for portable terminals which is hard to remove and is easy to insert.

上記の目的を達成するために、この発明では、端子カバーの蓋部と連結された連結部に爪部と、連結部変形用孔と、橋渡し部とを設けた。   In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a claw portion, a connecting portion deforming hole, and a bridging portion are provided in a connecting portion connected to the lid portion of the terminal cover.

具体的には、第１の発明では、接続端子を露出させるための端子用開口を塞ぐ端子カバーを備える携帯端末を対象とし、
上記携帯端末は、
上記端子用開口の周縁は、周囲よりも凹んだ端子用凹部に囲まれ、該端子用凹部には係止用孔が形成されており、
上記端子カバーは、上記端子用凹部を塞ぐ蓋部と、該蓋部に略直交に連続する連結部とを備え、
上記連結部は、
上記係止用孔に挿入されて係合される爪部と、
上記爪部及び上記蓋部の間に形成されて該連結部の変形を助ける連結部変形用孔と、
上記連結部変形用孔に形成され、該連結部変形用孔周縁及び上記爪部の間を橋渡しする橋渡部とを備え、
上記爪部は、上記蓋部に向かって上記連結部から離れる方向に傾斜し、
上記橋渡部は、
上記爪部の上記蓋部側の端部に連結され、上記蓋部に向かって上記連結部へ近付く方向に傾斜した傾斜部と、
該傾斜部に連結された水平部とで構成されている。 Specifically, in the first invention, a portable terminal including a terminal cover that closes a terminal opening for exposing a connection terminal is targeted.
The mobile device
The periphery of the terminal opening is surrounded by a terminal recess recessed from the periphery, and a locking hole is formed in the terminal recess,
The terminal cover includes a lid that closes the terminal recess, and a connecting portion that is substantially orthogonal to the lid.
The connecting part is
A claw portion inserted into and engaged with the locking hole;
A connecting portion deformation hole formed between the claw portion and the lid portion to help the deformation of the connecting portion;
A bridging portion that is formed in the coupling portion deformation hole, and bridges between the coupling portion deformation hole periphery and the claw portion;
The claw portion is inclined in a direction away from the connecting portion toward the lid portion,
The bridge section above
An inclined portion that is connected to an end portion of the claw portion on the lid portion side and is inclined in a direction approaching the connecting portion toward the lid portion;
And a horizontal portion connected to the inclined portion.

上記の構成によると、連結部を係止用孔に挿入するときに、爪部が係止用孔の周縁に当接して傾斜部側に押圧され、その力は傾斜部から水平部にスムーズに伝達されるので、端子カバーの挿入が容易になる。爪部が引っ張られたときには、爪部と連結部変形用孔周縁との間を橋渡しする橋渡部によって爪部が容易にめくり上がらないので、端子カバーが意図せず抜け出すことはない。   According to the above configuration, when the coupling portion is inserted into the locking hole, the claw portion abuts on the peripheral edge of the locking hole and is pressed toward the inclined portion side, and the force is smoothly transferred from the inclined portion to the horizontal portion. Since it is transmitted, the terminal cover can be easily inserted. When the claw portion is pulled, the claw portion is not easily turned up by the bridging portion that bridges between the claw portion and the peripheral edge of the connecting portion deformation hole, so that the terminal cover does not come out unintentionally.

第２の発明では、第１の発明において、
上記連結部変形用孔周縁における、上記橋渡部と上記蓋部との間には、該橋渡部の変形を容易にする橋渡部変形用孔が形成されている。 In the second invention, in the first invention,
Between the bridging portion and the lid portion at the periphery of the coupling portion deforming hole, a bridging portion deforming hole that facilitates deformation of the bridging portion is formed.

上記の構成によると、端子カバーを挿入するときに、爪部が係止用孔の周縁に当接して下方へ押圧されるが、その力は傾斜部から水平部に伝達され、橋渡部変形用孔が変形することで橋渡部が容易に係止用孔内に挿入される。   According to the above configuration, when the terminal cover is inserted, the claw portion comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole and is pressed downward, but the force is transmitted from the inclined portion to the horizontal portion, and the bridge portion is deformed. Due to the deformation of the hole, the bridge portion is easily inserted into the locking hole.

第３の発明では、第２の発明において、
上記連結部の先端には、蓋部に近付くにつれて拡がって上記係止用孔よりも幅が広くなり、再び係止用孔よりも幅が狭くなる鉤部が形成され、
上記連結部における、上記鉤部よりも蓋部側には、上記鉤部の幅よりも狭く、上記係止用孔の幅よりも広い突起部が形成されている。 In the third invention, in the second invention,
At the distal end of the connecting portion, a flange portion is formed which expands as it approaches the lid portion and becomes wider than the locking hole, and again becomes narrower than the locking hole,
In the connecting portion, a projection portion narrower than the width of the hook portion and wider than the width of the locking hole is formed on the lid portion side of the hook portion.

上記の構成によると、鉤部と突起部とで幅に差を設け、端子カバーを引き出して開くときに、係止用孔に対して突起部を通過させるのを容易にして端子カバーを開きやすくし、鉤部を通過させにくくすることで、端子カバーを取り外しにくくして端子カバーの紛失を防止している。   According to the above configuration, when the terminal cover is pulled out and opened by providing a difference in width between the collar and the protrusion, it is easy to allow the protrusion to pass through the locking hole, and the terminal cover can be easily opened. However, by making it difficult to pass through the buttock, it is difficult to remove the terminal cover to prevent the terminal cover from being lost.

第４の発明では、第１乃至第３のいずれか１つの発明において、
上記端子カバーは、弾性部材で構成されている。 In a fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions,
The terminal cover is made of an elastic member.

上記の構成によると、端子カバーは、容易に弾性変形するので、挿入しやすく、耐久性のあるものとなる。   According to said structure, since a terminal cover is elastically deformed easily, it becomes easy to insert and becomes durable.

以上説明したように、本発明の端子カバーによれば、端子用凹部を塞ぐ蓋部を設け、さらにこの蓋部に略直交に連続し、係止用孔に挿入されて係合される爪部と、爪部及び蓋部の間に形成されて変形を助ける連結部変形用孔と、連結部変形用孔周縁及び爪部の間を橋渡しする橋渡部とを有する連結部を設けたことにより、抜けにくく、挿入しやすい端子カバーが得られる。   As described above, according to the terminal cover of the present invention, the claw portion that is provided with the lid portion that closes the concave portion for the terminal, is connected to the lid portion substantially orthogonally, and is inserted into the locking hole and engaged. And providing a connecting part having a connecting part deformation hole formed between the claw part and the lid part to assist deformation, and a bridging part that bridges between the peripheral part of the connecting part deformation hole and the claw part, A terminal cover that is difficult to remove and easy to insert is obtained.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

−携帯電話機の構成−
図１〜図３は、本発明の実施形態のスライド式携帯端末としての携帯電話機１を示し、この携帯電話機１は、表面側に表示部２を備えた第１の筐体３が、表面側に操作部４を備えた第２の筐体５上をスライド機構６によってスライド可能に構成されている。このことで、携帯電話機１は、第１の筐体３を第２の筐体５上にスライドさせることにより、図１に示す操作部４が第１の筐体３の裏面側に隠れる閉じ状態と、図２に示す表示部２が現れる開き状態とに開閉自在に構成されている。 -Mobile phone configuration-

The display unit 2 occupies almost the entire first housing 3, but an operation key may be provided on a part of the first housing 3.

第２の筐体５には充電池９（図６にのみ示す）が内蔵されている。この充電池９に充電するための接続端子としての充電端子７が第２の筐体５の下端部に内蔵されている。図４に示すように、この充電端子７は、左右方向に延びる矩形状の端子用開口８から露出している。この充電端子７に図示しない充電器の端子が接続されて充電が可能となっている。この端子用開口８は、端子カバー１０で防塵、防水、外観向上等の目的で開閉自在に覆われている。   The second housing 5 contains a rechargeable battery 9 (shown only in FIG. 6). A charging terminal 7 as a connection terminal for charging the rechargeable battery 9 is built in the lower end portion of the second housing 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the charging terminal 7 is exposed from a rectangular terminal opening 8 extending in the left-right direction. A charging terminal (not shown) is connected to the charging terminal 7 to allow charging. The terminal opening 8 is covered with a terminal cover 10 so as to be openable and closable for the purpose of dust-proofing, waterproofing and improving the appearance.

端子用開口８の周縁は、周囲よりも凹んだ矩形状の端子用凹部１１に囲まれている。この端子用凹部１１における端子用開口８の下方には、左右方向に延びる直線状の係止用孔１２が開口されている。   The periphery of the terminal opening 8 is surrounded by a rectangular terminal recess 11 that is recessed from the periphery. A linear locking hole 12 extending in the left-right direction is opened below the terminal opening 8 in the terminal recess 11.

図５に示すように、端子カバー１０は、端子用凹部１１を塞ぐ矩形板状の蓋部１３を備えている。端子カバー１０は、合成樹脂やエラストマーなどの弾性部材で構成されている。この蓋部１３における、上記係止用孔１２に対応する部分には、蓋部１３に略直交に連続する連結部１４が設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the terminal cover 10 includes a rectangular plate-like lid portion 13 that closes the terminal recess 11. The terminal cover 10 is made of an elastic member such as synthetic resin or elastomer. A connecting portion 14 that is substantially orthogonal to the lid portion 13 is provided at a portion of the lid portion 13 corresponding to the locking hole 12.

連結部１４は、蓋部１３と反対側の先端部に係止用孔１２に挿入され、この係止用孔１２に係合される爪部１５を備えている。爪部１５は、蓋部１３に向かって連結部１４から離れる方向に傾斜する平坦な爪部本体１５ａと、この爪部本体１５ａを連結部１４に連結する、側面視三角形状の一対の側壁１５ｂと備えている。連結部１４の肉厚は蓋部１３の肉厚よりも薄く、変形しやすいものとなっている。   The connecting portion 14 includes a claw portion 15 that is inserted into the locking hole 12 at the tip end opposite to the lid portion 13 and is engaged with the locking hole 12. The claw portion 15 has a flat claw portion main body 15a inclined in a direction away from the connecting portion 14 toward the lid portion 13, and a pair of side walls 15b having a triangular shape in side view, which connects the claw portion main body 15a to the connecting portion 14. It is equipped with. The connecting portion 14 is thinner than the lid 13 and is easily deformed.

爪部１５と蓋部１３との間には、連結部１４の変形を助ける、左右に長い連結部変形用孔１７が形成されている。   Between the nail | claw part 15 and the cover part 13, the connection part deformation | transformation hole 17 long to the left and right which helps the deformation | transformation of the connection part 14 is formed.

連結部変形用孔１７の左右中央には、この連結部変形用孔１７周縁と爪部１５との間を橋渡しする橋渡部１８が形成されている。橋渡部１８は、爪部１５の蓋部１３側端部に連結され、蓋部１３に向かって連結部１４へ近付く方向に傾斜した傾斜部１８ａを備えている。この傾斜部１８ａは、水平に延びる水平部１８ｂに連結され、その水平部１８ｂの他端が連結部変形用孔１７の周縁に接続されている。水平部１８ｂは、連結部１４と同一平面に配置されている。   A bridging portion 18 that bridges between the peripheral edge of the connecting portion deforming hole 17 and the claw portion 15 is formed at the left and right center of the connecting portion deforming hole 17. The bridging portion 18 includes an inclined portion 18 a that is connected to the end portion of the claw portion 15 on the lid portion 13 side and is inclined toward the lid portion 13 toward the connecting portion 14. The inclined portion 18 a is connected to a horizontal portion 18 b that extends horizontally, and the other end of the horizontal portion 18 b is connected to the periphery of the connecting portion deformation hole 17. The horizontal portion 18 b is disposed on the same plane as the connecting portion 14.

図６に示すように、爪部１５の高さｈ１は、係止用孔１２の高さｈ２よりも高くなっている（ｈ１＞ｈ２）。このため、爪部１５が係止用孔１２を通過する際には、必ず係止用孔１２の周縁に当接するようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the height h1 of the claw portion 15 is higher than the height h2 of the locking hole 12 (h1> h2). For this reason, when the claw portion 15 passes through the locking hole 12, it always comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole 12.

そして、連結部変形用孔１７周縁における、橋渡部１８の水平部１８ｂの延長上の蓋部１３の手前には、橋渡部変形用孔１９が形成されている。橋渡部変形用孔１９は、左右に伸びる長円形状を有し、橋渡部１８の変形を容易にする役割を果たしている。   A bridging portion deforming hole 19 is formed in front of the lid portion 13 on the extension of the horizontal portion 18 b of the bridging portion 18 at the periphery of the connecting portion deforming hole 17. The bridging portion deforming hole 19 has an oval shape extending to the left and right, and plays a role of facilitating deformation of the bridging portion 18.

図７に示すように、連結部１４の先端には、蓋部１３に近付くにつれて幅が広がり、再び幅が狭くなる鉤部２０が形成されている。鉤部２０の最大幅Ｗ１は、係止用孔の幅Ｗ２よりも大きくなっている（Ｗ１＞Ｗ２）。鉤部２０の蓋部１３側は、切欠２１が形成され、鉤部２０が係止用孔１２を通過するときには、変形しやすくなっている。鉤部２０の蓋部１３側の幅は、係止用孔１２の幅Ｗ２よりも狭くなり、再び左右方向に突出する突起部２２の位置でその幅Ｗ３が係止用孔１２の幅Ｗ２よりも広くなっている（Ｗ３＞Ｗ１）。また、突起部２２の幅Ｗ３は鉤部２０の幅Ｗ１よりも狭くなっている（Ｗ３＞Ｗ２＞Ｗ１）。   As shown in FIG. 7, a flange portion 20 is formed at the distal end of the connecting portion 14 so as to increase in width as it approaches the lid portion 13 and narrow again. The maximum width W1 of the flange 20 is larger than the width W2 of the locking hole (W1> W2). A notch 21 is formed on the lid portion 13 side of the collar portion 20, and the collar portion 20 is easily deformed when passing through the locking hole 12. The width of the flange portion 20 on the lid portion 13 side is narrower than the width W2 of the locking hole 12, and the width W3 of the projection portion 22 that protrudes in the left-right direction again is larger than the width W2 of the locking hole 12. (W3> W1). Further, the width W3 of the protrusion 22 is narrower than the width W1 of the flange 20 (W3> W2> W1).

−携帯電話機の作用−
次に、本実施形態にかかる携帯端末の作動について説明する。 -Action of mobile phone-
Next, the operation of the mobile terminal according to the present embodiment will be described.

図６（ａ）及び図７（ａ）に示すように、端子カバー１０を係止用孔１２に挿入する前では、爪部１５の高さｈ１は、係止用孔１２の高さｈ２よりも高くなっており、鉤部２０の最大幅Ｗ１は、係止用孔の幅Ｗ２よりも大きくなっている。   As shown in FIGS. 6A and 7A, before the terminal cover 10 is inserted into the locking hole 12, the height h1 of the claw portion 15 is higher than the height h2 of the locking hole 12. The maximum width W1 of the flange portion 20 is larger than the width W2 of the locking hole.

このため、図６（ｂ）及び図７（ｂ）に示すように、爪部１５及び鉤部２０が係止用孔１２を通過する際に係止用孔１２の周縁に当接する。   For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 7B, when the claw portion 15 and the flange portion 20 pass through the locking hole 12, they come into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole 12.

さらに端子カバー１０を挿入すると、図５及び図８（ａ）に示すように、係止用孔１２に当接した爪部１５が変形して傾斜部１８ａを押し上げる。この力は、白抜き矢印で示すように、水平部１８ｂに伝達され、橋渡部変形用孔１９を変形させる。同時に鉤部２０が係止用孔１２に当接し、切欠２１側へ変形すると共に、連結部変形用孔１７を変形させる。このため、端子カバー１０の挿入が容易になる。   When the terminal cover 10 is further inserted, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8A, the claw portion 15 in contact with the locking hole 12 is deformed to push up the inclined portion 18a. This force is transmitted to the horizontal portion 18b as shown by the white arrow, and deforms the bridge portion deformation hole 19. At the same time, the flange portion 20 comes into contact with the locking hole 12 and is deformed toward the notch 21, and the connecting portion deformation hole 17 is deformed. For this reason, insertion of the terminal cover 10 becomes easy.

図８（ｂ）に示すように、鉤部２０が係止用孔１２を通過すると、連結部１４は弾性を有するので元の形に戻り、鉤部２０が係止用孔１２に引っ掛かかるので、この状態で連結部１４を撓ませれば、端子カバー１０は抜けずに充電端子７に充電が可能となる。鉤部２０のかえり部分により、端子カバー１０は抜けにくくなっている。さらに、橋渡部１８と側壁１５ｂとによって、爪部１５が引っ張られても容易に爪部１５が容易にめくり上がらないので、端子カバー１０はさらに抜けにくくなっている。   As shown in FIG. 8B, when the collar part 20 passes through the locking hole 12, the connecting part 14 returns to its original shape because it has elasticity, and the collar part 20 is caught in the locking hole 12. Therefore, if the connecting portion 14 is bent in this state, the terminal cover 10 can be charged without being removed. The terminal cover 10 is difficult to be removed by the burr portion of the collar portion 20. Furthermore, since the claw portion 15 is not easily turned up by the bridge portion 18 and the side wall 15b even if the claw portion 15 is pulled, the terminal cover 10 is more difficult to be removed.

さらに、端子カバー１０を挿入すると、突起部２２が係止用孔１２の周縁に当接しながら変形し、図７（ｃ）に示すように、蓋部１３の表面と端子用凹部１１の周囲とが略連続した閉じた状態となる。   Further, when the terminal cover 10 is inserted, the protrusion 22 is deformed while coming into contact with the peripheral edge of the locking hole 12, and as shown in FIG. 7C, the surface of the lid 13 and the periphery of the terminal recess 11 Becomes a substantially continuous closed state.

このように、弾性部材で構成した端子カバー１０は容易に弾性変形するので、挿入しやすい。そして、突起部２２の幅Ｗ３を鉤部２０の幅Ｗ１よりも狭くすることで、端子カバー１０を引き出して開くときに、係止用孔１２に対して突起部２２を通過させるのを容易にして端子カバー１０を開きやすくし、鉤部２０を通過させにくくすることで、端子カバー１０を取り外しにくくして端子カバー１０の紛失を防止している。   In this way, the terminal cover 10 made of an elastic member is easily elastically deformed, so that it can be easily inserted. Then, by making the width W3 of the protrusion 22 smaller than the width W1 of the flange 20, it is easy to allow the protrusion 22 to pass through the locking hole 12 when the terminal cover 10 is pulled out and opened. By making the terminal cover 10 easy to open and making it difficult to pass the collar part 20, it is difficult to remove the terminal cover 10 to prevent the terminal cover 10 from being lost.

−実施形態の効果−
したがって、本実施形態にかかる携帯電話機１によると、端子カバー１０に端子用凹部１１を塞ぐ蓋部１３を設け、さらに、この蓋部１３に略直交に連続し、係止用孔１２に挿入されて係合される爪部１５と、爪部１５及び蓋部１３の間に形成されて変形を助ける連結部変形用孔１７と、連結部変形用孔１７周縁及び爪部１５の間を橋渡しする橋渡部１８とを有する連結部１４を設けたことにより、抜けにくく、挿入しやすい端子カバーが得られる。 -Effect of the embodiment-
Therefore, according to the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the terminal cover 10 is provided with the lid portion 13 that closes the terminal recess 11, and is further substantially orthogonal to the lid portion 13 and inserted into the locking hole 12. The claw portion 15 to be engaged with each other, the connecting portion deformation hole 17 formed between the claw portion 15 and the lid portion 13 to assist the deformation, and the periphery of the connecting portion deformation hole 17 and the claw portion 15 are bridged. By providing the connecting portion 14 having the bridging portion 18, a terminal cover that is difficult to be removed and easy to insert is obtained.
