Description

電子機器Electronics
 本発明は、ケース内に電子回路を収容した電子機器に関する。 This invention relates to the electronic device which accommodated the electronic circuit in the case.
 プログラマブルロジックコントローラから指令を受けて動作するスレーブ装置といった電子機器では、防水性能及び放熱性能確保の観点から、ケースに収容した電子回路を樹脂材料で覆い、樹脂材料を固化して封止することが一般的である。しかしながら、樹脂材料が固化した後ではケース内から電子回路を取り出すことが難しいため、故障発生時に故障原因を解析すること及び分解修理することが困難になる。故障原因の解析及び分解修理を可能とするために、樹脂材料で封止せずにパッキンを用いる構造があるが、パッキンの経年劣化で防水性能及び放熱性能が低下する問題がある。 In an electronic device such as a slave device that operates in response to a command from a programmable logic controller, from the viewpoint of ensuring waterproof performance and heat dissipation performance, the electronic circuit housed in the case is covered with a resin material, and the resin material is solidified and sealed. It is common. However, since it is difficult to take out the electronic circuit from the case after the resin material is solidified, it becomes difficult to analyze the cause of the failure and repair it when the failure occurs. There is a structure in which packing is used without sealing with a resin material in order to enable failure analysis and disassembly repair, but there is a problem that waterproof performance and heat dissipation performance are lowered due to aging of the packing.
 故障原因の解析及び分解修理を実施するにあたり、固化した樹脂材料を切削し、内部の電子回路を露出させる場合もあるが、樹脂材料切削の際に誤って電子回路を傷つけてしまう恐れがある。もし、電子回路を傷つけて新たに故障箇所が発生した場合、当初の故障原因は解析不能になってしまう。 When analyzing the cause of failure and performing disassembly repair, the solidified resin material may be cut to expose the internal electronic circuit, but the electronic circuit may be accidentally damaged when the resin material is cut. If the electronic circuit is damaged and a new failure occurs, the cause of the original failure cannot be analyzed.

Therefore, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, if the terminal protruding from the hard resin layer is damaged, the cause of the failure cannot be analyzed.
 本発明は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであって、ケースに収容した電子回路に傷をつけることなく容易に取り出すことのできる電子機器を得ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to obtain an electronic device that can be easily taken out without damaging an electronic circuit housed in a case.

 以下に、本発明の実施の形態に係る電子機器を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。なお、この実施の形態によりこの発明が限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
実施の形態1.
 図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る電子機器の構造を示す図である。図2は、実施の形態1に係る電子機器の斜視図である。実施の形態1に係る電子機器であるスレーブ装置51は、プログラマブルロジックコントローラから指令を受けて動作する装置である。スレーブ装置51は、天面1aが開放されたケース1と、ケース1内に収容された電子回路2と、ケース1内に充填されて電子回路2を覆う絶縁性流動体3と、絶縁性流動体3の上に載置された蓋8と、蓋8とともにケース1の天面1aを塞ぐ樹脂層4とを有する。蓋8は、ケース1の天面1aよりも小さい。樹脂層4は、蓋8とケース1の側面1bとの間に設けられている。実施の形態1において、ケース1は直方体状であるが、ケース1の形状は直方体に限定されない。ケース1及び蓋8の材料にはプラスチックを適用できる。
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of an electronic device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the electronic apparatus according to the first embodiment. The slave device 51 that is the electronic device according to the first embodiment is a device that operates in response to a command from the programmable logic controller. The slave device 51 includes a case 1 whose top surface 1a is opened, an electronic circuit 2 accommodated in the case 1, an insulating fluid 3 filled in the case 1 and covering the electronic circuit 2, and an insulating flow. It has a lid 8 placed on the body 3 and a resin layer 4 that closes the top surface 1 a of the case 1 together with the lid 8. The lid 8 is smaller than the top surface 1 a of the case 1. The resin layer 4 is provided between the lid 8 and the side surface 1 b of the case 1. In Embodiment 1, case 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the shape of case 1 is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped. Plastic can be used as the material for the case 1 and the lid 8.
 電子回路2は、基板5と、基板5の表裏に実装された複数の電子部品6とを有する。基板5のケース1の底面11と対向する側の面には、電子部品6と電気的に接続された防水コネクタ9が実装されている。防水コネクタ9は、ケース1の底面11に形成された貫通孔12に圧入されており、ケース1と防水コネクタ9との隙間は水密性が保たれている。防水コネクタ9は、ケース1の外に突出しているため、基板5に実装された電子部品6と外部装置との接続は、ケース1の外で容易に行える。絶縁性流動体3は、電子回路2全体を隙間無く覆っている。基板5は、不図示の締結部材によってケース1に固定される。基板5をケース1に固定する締結部材は、ねじ及びピンを例示できるが、これに限定はされない。絶縁性流動体3には、ゾル、ゲル及び液体のいずれかを適用できる。絶縁性流動体3にゲルを用いる場合には、シリコーンゲルを適用できるが、これに限定はされない。以下の説明では、絶縁性流動体3は、ゲルであるとする。樹脂層4は、固体の層であり、絶縁性流動体3がケース1内から漏れ出すことを防止する。樹脂層4は、固化前の状態でケース1内に充填してもゲルである絶縁性流動体3と混ざることがない樹脂材料を適用可能である。樹脂層4に適用可能な樹脂材料には、熱硬化性樹脂、熱可塑性樹脂、紫外線硬化性樹脂及び二液混合樹脂を例示できるが、これらに限定されない。樹脂層4に熱硬化性樹脂を適用する場合には、電子回路2の耐熱温度以下の温度で固化可能な樹脂材料を選定する。また、樹脂層4に熱可塑性樹脂を適用する場合には、電子回路2の耐熱温度以下の温度で可塑化する樹脂材料を選定する。樹脂層4に適用可能な樹脂材料の具体例には、エポキシ樹脂及びポリウレタン樹脂を挙げることができる。 The electronic circuit 2 has a substrate 5 and a plurality of electronic components 6 mounted on the front and back of the substrate 5. A waterproof connector 9 that is electrically connected to the electronic component 6 is mounted on the surface of the substrate 5 that faces the bottom surface 11 of the case 1. The waterproof connector 9 is press-fitted into a through-hole 12 formed in the bottom surface 11 of the case 1, and the gap between the case 1 and the waterproof connector 9 is kept watertight. Since the waterproof connector 9 protrudes outside the case 1, the connection between the electronic component 6 mounted on the substrate 5 and the external device can be easily performed outside the case 1. The insulating fluid 3 covers the entire electronic circuit 2 without a gap. The substrate 5 is fixed to the case 1 by a fastening member (not shown). The fastening member that fixes the substrate 5 to the case 1 can be exemplified by a screw and a pin, but is not limited thereto. Any one of sol, gel, and liquid can be applied to the insulating fluid 3. In the case where a gel is used for the insulating fluid 3, a silicone gel can be applied, but is not limited thereto. In the following description, it is assumed that the insulating fluid 3 is a gel. The resin layer 4 is a solid layer and prevents the insulating fluid 3 from leaking out of the case 1. For the resin layer 4, a resin material that does not mix with the insulating fluid 3 that is a gel even when filled in the case 1 in a state before solidification can be applied. Examples of the resin material applicable to the resin layer 4 include, but are not limited to, a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin, an ultraviolet curable resin, and a two-component mixed resin. When a thermosetting resin is applied to the resin layer 4, a resin material that can be solidified at a temperature lower than the heat resistant temperature of the electronic circuit 2 is selected. When a thermoplastic resin is applied to the resin layer 4, a resin material that is plasticized at a temperature lower than the heat resistant temperature of the electronic circuit 2 is selected. Specific examples of the resin material applicable to the resin layer 4 include an epoxy resin and a polyurethane resin.
 図3、図4、図5及び図6は、実施の形態1に係る電子機器の製造手順を示す図である。まず、図3に示すように、ケース1内に天面1a側から電子回路2を配置し、防水コネクタ9を貫通孔12に圧入する。続いて、ケース1内に天面1a側から絶縁性流動体3を充填し、図4に示すように、電子回路2を絶縁性流動体3で封止する。次に、図5に示すように、絶縁性流動体3の上に蓋8を載置する。そして、図6に示すように、蓋8とケース1の側面1bとの間に樹脂層4に適用する樹脂材料を配置してケース1の天面1aを塞ぐ。そして、樹脂層4を固化させることにより、図1及び図2に示したスレーブ装置51が完成する。電子回路2は、全体が絶縁性流動体3で覆われており、さらに絶縁性流動体3は蓋8及び樹脂層4で封止されている。このような構造によって、電子回路2は樹脂層4の外に露出しないため、電子回路2が破損することは防止される。 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are diagrams showing the manufacturing procedure of the electronic apparatus according to the first embodiment. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the electronic circuit 2 is arranged in the case 1 from the top surface 1 a side, and the waterproof connector 9 is press-fitted into the through hole 12. Subsequently, the insulating fluid 3 is filled into the case 1 from the top surface 1a side, and the electronic circuit 2 is sealed with the insulating fluid 3 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid 8 is placed on the insulating fluid 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a resin material applied to the resin layer 4 is disposed between the lid 8 and the side surface 1 b of the case 1 to close the top surface 1 a of the case 1. And the slave apparatus 51 shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2 is completed by solidifying the resin layer 4. FIG. The electronic circuit 2 is entirely covered with an insulating fluid 3, and the insulating fluid 3 is further sealed with a lid 8 and a resin layer 4. With such a structure, the electronic circuit 2 is not exposed to the outside of the resin layer 4, so that the electronic circuit 2 is prevented from being damaged.
 なお、蓋8に空気抜き用の貫通穴を一つ以上形成しておき、絶縁性流動体3の上に蓋8を載せた後で、貫通穴の部分にも樹脂層4を形成するようにしてもよい。蓋8に空気抜き用の貫通穴を形成しておくことにより、絶縁性流動体3と蓋8との間に空気が残留しにくくなり、スレーブ装置51を製造する際の歩留まり及び再構築する際の歩留まりが向上する。 One or more through holes for venting air are formed in the lid 8, and after the lid 8 is placed on the insulating fluid 3, the resin layer 4 is also formed on the through holes. Also good. By forming a through hole for venting air in the lid 8, it becomes difficult for air to remain between the insulating fluid 3 and the lid 8. Yield is improved.
 図7、図8及び図9は、実施の形態1に係る電子機器の電子回路の取り出し手順を示す図である。まず、図7に示すように、蓋8の外周をなぞるように工具7を移動させることで樹脂層4を除去する。樹脂層4を除去することにより、蓋8は絶縁性流動体3の上に載っているだけで固定されていない状態となる。樹脂層4を除去した後に、図8に示すように、蓋8を持ち上絶縁性流動体ことによって、蓋8を取り外す。蓋8を取り外した後、図9に示すように、防水コネクタ9を貫通孔12から引き抜いて絶縁性流動体3の中から電子回路2を取り出す。絶縁性流動体3は流動性を有しているため、ケース1内に絶縁性流動体3が存在する状態でも電子回路2を絶縁性流動体3から取り出すことが可能である。そして、絶縁性流動体3から取り出した電子回路2に付着している絶縁性流動体3は、エアブロー又はアルコール洗浄といった方法で除去する。なお、絶縁性流動体3が液体、ゾル又は流動性の高いゲルであり、防水コネクタ9を貫通孔12から引き抜くと、絶縁性流動体3が貫通孔12から漏れ出る場合には、電子回路2を取り出すのに先だって絶縁性流動体3を除去すればよい。 7, 8 and 9 are diagrams showing a procedure for taking out an electronic circuit of the electronic device according to the first embodiment. First, as shown in FIG. 7, the resin layer 4 is removed by moving the tool 7 so as to trace the outer periphery of the lid 8. By removing the resin layer 4, the lid 8 is merely placed on the insulating fluid 3 and is not fixed. After removing the resin layer 4, the lid 8 is removed by holding the lid 8 and using an insulating fluid as shown in FIG. After removing the lid 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the waterproof connector 9 is pulled out from the through hole 12 and the electronic circuit 2 is taken out from the insulating fluid 3. Since the insulating fluid 3 has fluidity, the electronic circuit 2 can be taken out of the insulating fluid 3 even when the insulating fluid 3 exists in the case 1. Then, the insulating fluid 3 attached to the electronic circuit 2 taken out from the insulating fluid 3 is removed by a method such as air blowing or alcohol cleaning. In the case where the insulating fluid 3 is liquid, sol or highly fluid gel and the waterproof fluid 9 leaks from the through hole 12 when the waterproof connector 9 is pulled out from the through hole 12, the electronic circuit 2 The insulating fluid 3 may be removed prior to taking out the liquid.
 スレーブ装置51を再構築する際には、ケース1内に残っている絶縁性流動体3を除去した後に、製造手順と同じ手順を行えばよい。ケース1内に残っている絶縁性流動体3は、吸引によって除去することもできるし、工具を使って掻き出して除去することもできる。なお、樹脂層4に導電性のない樹脂材料を適用する場合は、樹脂層4を工具7で除去した際に生じた樹脂層4の破片がケース1又は電子回路2に付着していても、再構築したスレーブ装置51に不具合が生じる恐れはない。 When the slave device 51 is reconstructed, the same procedure as the manufacturing procedure may be performed after removing the insulating fluid 3 remaining in the case 1. The insulating fluid 3 remaining in the case 1 can be removed by suction or can be removed by scraping with a tool. In addition, when applying a resin material having no conductivity to the resin layer 4, even if the fragments of the resin layer 4 generated when the resin layer 4 is removed with the tool 7 are attached to the case 1 or the electronic circuit 2, There is no fear that the reconstructed slave device 51 has a problem.
 実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、樹脂層4を除去することにより絶縁性流動体3が露出するため、絶縁性流動体3の中から電子回路2を取り出すことができる。電子回路2を覆う絶縁性流動体3は流動性を有するため、絶縁性流動体3から電子回路2を取り出す際に電子回路2が破損することはない。 In the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, the insulating fluid 3 is exposed by removing the resin layer 4, and thus the electronic circuit 2 can be taken out from the insulating fluid 3. Since the insulating fluid 3 covering the electronic circuit 2 has fluidity, the electronic circuit 2 is not damaged when the electronic circuit 2 is taken out from the insulating fluid 3.
 実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、樹脂層4を除去すれば、絶縁性流動体3の中から容易に電子回路2を取り出すことができる。したがって、ロット不良によって複数台の故障が見つかった場合でも、故障原因が全て同じであるか否かを確認することは容易である。 The slave device 51 according to Embodiment 1 can easily take out the electronic circuit 2 from the insulating fluid 3 by removing the resin layer 4. Therefore, even when a plurality of failures are found due to a lot defect, it is easy to confirm whether or not the causes of failure are all the same.
 絶縁性流動体3は、空気よりも熱伝導率が高い。このため、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1の内部に絶縁性流動体3が充填されていないスレーブ装置と比較して放熱性能が高くなる。したがって、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1の内部に絶縁性流動体3が充填されていないスレーブ装置と比較して電子部品6の温度が上昇しにくくなる。これにより、ケース1から雰囲気中への放熱が起こりにくい高温環境下においても電子部品6に熱がこもりにくくなり、電子部品6の熱暴走が発生しにくくなる。 The insulating fluid 3 has a higher thermal conductivity than air. For this reason, the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment has higher heat dissipation performance than the slave device in which the insulating fluid 3 is not filled in the case 1. Therefore, the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment is less likely to increase the temperature of the electronic component 6 as compared with the slave device in which the inside of the case 1 is not filled with the insulating fluid 3. Thereby, even in a high temperature environment in which heat dissipation from the case 1 to the atmosphere is difficult to occur, the electronic component 6 is less likely to accumulate heat, and thermal runaway of the electronic component 6 is less likely to occur.
 また、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1の内部に絶縁性流動体3が充填されているため、外力を受けて基板5とともに電子部品6が振動する際に、基板5と電子部品6との接合部分に加わる応力が緩和される。したがって、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1が中空である場合と比較して耐振動性を高くできる。 Further, since the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment is filled with the insulating fluid 3 inside the case 1, when the electronic component 6 is vibrated together with the substrate 5 due to the external force, the substrate 5 and the electronic device The stress applied to the joint portion with the component 6 is relieved. Therefore, the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment can have higher vibration resistance than the case where the case 1 is hollow.
 また、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1の内部に絶縁性流動体3が充填されているため、ケース1が中空である場合と比較して、電子部品6同士の間の絶縁耐力を高めることができる。 Further, in the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, since the insulating fluid 3 is filled in the case 1, the insulation between the electronic components 6 is compared with the case where the case 1 is hollow. Yield can be increased.
 実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、蓋8とケース1の側面1bとの間だけに樹脂層4を設ければよいため、樹脂層4に適用する樹脂材料の使用量を低減することができる。また、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置52では、電子回路2を取り出す際に除去する必要がある樹脂層4は蓋8の周囲の部分のみであるため、ケース1の天面1aを全面的に覆う樹脂層4全体を工具7で除去する場合と比較して、樹脂層4の除去作業に要する時間を短縮できる。また、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51では、電子回路2を取り出す際に取り外した蓋8を再利用可能であるため、故障原因の解析時に発生する廃棄物の量を低減できる。 Since the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment only needs to provide the resin layer 4 between the lid 8 and the side surface 1b of the case 1, the amount of the resin material applied to the resin layer 4 can be reduced. it can. Further, in the slave device 52 according to the first embodiment, since the resin layer 4 that needs to be removed when the electronic circuit 2 is taken out is only a portion around the lid 8, the top surface 1a of the case 1 is entirely covered. Compared with the case where the entire resin layer 4 to be covered is removed by the tool 7, the time required for the removal work of the resin layer 4 can be shortened. Further, in the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, since the lid 8 removed when the electronic circuit 2 is taken out can be reused, the amount of waste generated at the time of failure cause analysis can be reduced.
 なお、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、ケース1及び蓋8を導電性材料で形成するとともに、樹脂層4に、導電性プラスチックを適用してもよい。導電性を有するケース1、蓋8及び樹脂層4で電子回路2を囲むことにより、電子回路2で発生するノイズがスレーブ装置51の外に漏れ出すことを防止できる。実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、蓋8とケース1の側面1bとの間にだけ樹脂層4が存在するため、樹脂層4を工具7で除去する際に生じる樹脂層4の破片の量は、ケース1の天面1aを全面的に覆う樹脂層4全体を工具7で除去する場合と比較して低減される。したがって、樹脂層4の破片がケース1又は電子回路2に付着することに起因して、再構築したスレーブ装置51に不具合が生じる可能性を低減できる。 In the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, the case 1 and the lid 8 may be formed of a conductive material, and a conductive plastic may be applied to the resin layer 4. By surrounding the electronic circuit 2 with the conductive case 1, the lid 8 and the resin layer 4, it is possible to prevent the noise generated in the electronic circuit 2 from leaking out of the slave device 51. In the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, since the resin layer 4 exists only between the lid 8 and the side surface 1b of the case 1, fragments of the resin layer 4 generated when the resin layer 4 is removed by the tool 7 are used. The amount is reduced compared to the case where the entire resin layer 4 covering the entire top surface 1a of the case 1 is removed with the tool 7. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the reconstructed slave device 51 is defective due to the fragments of the resin layer 4 adhering to the case 1 or the electronic circuit 2.
 ファクトリーオートメーションの分野で用いられる装置は、同じ原因による故障を再度発生させないために、故障原因を解析することをユーザが強く要望する傾向が高い。実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、電子回路2を取り出す際に、電子回路2を破損させる可能性が低いため、電子回路2の破損により故障原因を特定できなくなることを防止できる。よって、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51は、故障原因を解析することに対してのユーザの要望に応えることができる。 Equipment used in the field of factory automation has a high tendency that the user strongly demands to analyze the cause of the failure so that the failure due to the same cause does not occur again. Since the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment has a low possibility of damaging the electronic circuit 2 when the electronic circuit 2 is taken out, it is possible to prevent the failure cause from being identified due to the damage of the electronic circuit 2. Therefore, the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment can meet the user's request for analyzing the cause of the failure.
実施の形態2.
 図10は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る電子機器の構造を示す図である。実施の形態2に係る電子機器であるスレーブ装置52は、ケース1内に電子回路21及び電子回路22が収容されている。すなわち、スレーブ装置52のケース1内には、複数の電子回路が収容されている。電子回路21と電子回路22とは、基板間コネクタ91,92で接続されている。また、電子回路21及び電子回路22を覆う絶縁性流動体3の上には、蓋81及び蓋82が載置されており、蓋81とケース1の側面1bとの間、蓋82とケース1の側面1bとの間及び蓋81と蓋82との間に樹脂層4が設けられている。実施の形態2において、絶縁性流動体3は、ゾル又はゲルである。この他の点は、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51と同様である。なお、蓋81は、電子回路21の上方に配置されており、蓋82は、電子回路22の上方に配置されている。すなわち、複数の電子回路21,22ごとに、絶縁性流動体3の上に個別に蓋81,82が載置されている。基板間コネクタ91,92は、一方が雄型で他方が雌型である。したがって、基板間コネクタ91,92は、端部突き合わせることで接続可能である。
Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the structure of the electronic device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the slave device 52 which is an electronic apparatus according to the second embodiment, the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are accommodated in the case 1.

The resin layer 4 is provided between the side surface 1 b and between the lid 81 and the lid 82. In Embodiment 2, the insulating fluid 3 is sol or gel. The other points are the same as those of the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment. The lid 81 is disposed above the electronic circuit 21, and the lid 82 is disposed above the electronic circuit 22. That is, the lids 81 and 82 are individually placed on the insulating fluid 3 for each of the plurality of electronic circuits 21 and 22. One of the board-to- board connectors 91 and 92 is male and the other is female. Therefore, the board-to- board connectors 91 and 92 can be connected by end-butting.
 図11、図12、図13及び図14は、実施の形態2に係る電子機器の製造手順を示す図である。まず、図11に示すように、ケース1内に天面1a側から電子回路21及び電子回路22を配置して防水コネクタ9を貫通孔12に圧入するとともに、電子回路21と電子回路22とを基板間コネクタ91,92で接続する。なお、基板間コネクタ91,92で電子回路21と電子回路22とを接続しておいてから、ケース1内に電子回路21及び電子回路22を配置してもよい。次に、ケース1内に天面1a側から絶縁性流動体3を充填し、図12に示すように、電子回路21及び電子回路22を絶縁性流動体3で封止する。電子回路21,22を絶縁性流動体3で封止した後、図13に示すように、絶縁性流動体3の上に蓋81,82を載置する。そして、図14に示すように、蓋81とケース1の側面1bとの間、蓋82とケース1の側面1bとの間及び蓋81と蓋82との間に樹脂層4に適用する樹脂材料を配置し、ケース1の天面1aを塞ぐ。そして、樹脂層4を固化させることにより、図10に示したスレーブ装置52が完成する。 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are diagrams showing a procedure for manufacturing the electronic apparatus according to the second embodiment. First, as shown in FIG. 11, the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are arranged in the case 1 from the top surface 1 a side, and the waterproof connector 9 is press-fitted into the through hole 12. Connections are made with board-to- board connectors 91 and 92. The electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 may be arranged in the case 1 after the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are connected by the inter-board connectors 91 and 92. Next, the insulating fluid 3 is filled into the case 1 from the top surface 1a side, and the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are sealed with the insulating fluid 3 as shown in FIG. After the electronic circuits 21 and 22 are sealed with the insulating fluid 3, lids 81 and 82 are placed on the insulating fluid 3 as shown in FIG.

And the top surface 1a of the case 1 is closed. Then, by solidifying the resin layer 4, the slave device 52 shown in FIG. 10 is completed.
 図15、図16、図17、図18及び図19は、実施の形態2に係る電子機器の電子回路の取り出し手順を示す図である。ここでは、電子回路21のみを取り出す手順について説明する。まず、図15に示すように、蓋81の外周をなぞるように工具7を移動させることで蓋81の周囲の樹脂層4を除去する。蓋81の周囲の樹脂層4を除去することにより、蓋81は絶縁性流動体3の上に載っているだけで固定されていない状態となる。蓋81の周囲の樹脂層4を除去した後に、図16に示すように蓋81を持ち上げることによって、蓋81を取り外す。蓋81を取り外した後は、図17に示すように、電子回路21が設置されていた領域に残っている絶縁性流動体3を除去する。電子回路21が設置されていた領域に残っている絶縁性流動体3を除去したら、図18に示すように基板間コネクタ91,92を外し、電子回路21と電子回路22とを分離する。電子回路21,22を分離した後、図19に示すように、防水コネクタ9を貫通孔12から引き抜いてケース1から電子回路21を取り出す。取り出した電子回路21に付着している絶縁性流動体3は、エアブロー又はアルコール洗浄といった方法で除去する。 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are diagrams showing a procedure for taking out an electronic circuit of the electronic apparatus according to the second embodiment. Here, a procedure for taking out only the electronic circuit 21 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 15, the resin layer 4 around the lid 81 is removed by moving the tool 7 so as to trace the outer periphery of the lid 81. By removing the resin layer 4 around the lid 81, the lid 81 is merely placed on the insulating fluid 3 and is not fixed. After removing the resin layer 4 around the lid 81, the lid 81 is removed by lifting the lid 81 as shown in FIG. After removing the lid 81, as shown in FIG. 17, the insulating fluid 3 remaining in the region where the electronic circuit 21 has been installed is removed. When the insulating fluid 3 remaining in the region where the electronic circuit 21 has been installed is removed, the inter-board connectors 91 and 92 are removed as shown in FIG. 18, and the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are separated. After separating the electronic circuits 21 and 22, as shown in FIG. 19, the waterproof connector 9 is pulled out from the through hole 12 and the electronic circuit 21 is taken out from the case 1. The insulating fluid 3 adhering to the extracted electronic circuit 21 is removed by a method such as air blowing or alcohol cleaning.

When the electronic circuit 21 and the electronic circuit 22 are connected by the board-to- board connectors 91 and 92, the slave device 52 is in the state shown in FIG. Then, the insulating fluid 3 is filled into the portion where the electronic circuit 21 is arranged from the top surface 1 a side, and the entire electronic circuit 21 is covered with the insulating fluid 3. When the electronic circuit 21 is covered with the insulating fluid 3, the slave device 52 is in the state shown in FIG. Then, a lid 81 is disposed on the insulating fluid 3.

 上記の説明においては、説明の簡略化のために電子回路を二つケース内に配置した構成を示したが、三つ以上の電子回路をケース内に配置することも可能である。 In the above description, for simplification of description, the configuration in which two electronic circuits are arranged in the case is shown. However, three or more electronic circuits can be arranged in the case.
 実施の形態2に係るスレーブ装置52は、複数の電子回路の一部のみを取り出すこと、及び一部の電子回路のみを取り出した後で再構築することが可能である。したがって、故障原因と関係が無いことが明らかな電子回路をケースから取り出す必要がなく、電子回路の取り出し及びスレーブ装置52を再構築する作業を簡略化できる。また、複数の電子回路の一部のみを交換することが可能であるため、電子回路が複数に分割されていない場合と比較すると、電子回路の交換による修理のコストを低減できる。 The slave device 52 according to the second embodiment can take out only a part of a plurality of electronic circuits and can reconstruct it after taking out only some of the electronic circuits. Therefore, it is not necessary to take out an electronic circuit that is clearly unrelated to the cause of the failure from the case, and the work of taking out the electronic circuit and reconstructing the slave device 52 can be simplified. In addition, since only a part of the plurality of electronic circuits can be replaced, the cost of repair by replacing the electronic circuit can be reduced as compared with the case where the electronic circuit is not divided into a plurality of parts.
 実施の形態2に係るスレーブ装置52は、実施の形態1に係るスレーブ装置51と同様に、ケース1から取り出す際に電子回路21,22が破損することを防止できるとともに、放熱性能の向上、耐振動性の向上及び絶縁耐力の向上を実現できる。 Similarly to the slave device 51 according to the first embodiment, the slave device 52 according to the second embodiment can prevent the electronic circuits 21 and 22 from being damaged when being taken out from the case 1, and can improve heat dissipation performance and resistance.
