Description

箱型電子ユニットおよびその製造方法Box-type electronic unit and its manufacturing method
 本発明は、箱型電子ユニットおよびその製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a box-type electronic unit and a method for manufacturing the same.
 特開2003-069275号公報には、筐体シールド構造が記載されている。この筐体シールド構造は、電子回路基板を収容すると共にシールド機能を有するケースと、ケースの開口を覆うシールドカバーとを備える。ケースおよびシールドカバーは、アルミニウム、マグネシウム、亜鉛などの材料を用いてキャスティングにより形成されている。さらに、筐体シールド構造は、ケースとシールドカバーとの間に介在させて挟み込んで配置された導電ゴムにより形成されたパッキンとを備える。つまり、パッキンは、シールド機能および防水機能を有する。従って、ケース内において、完全なシールド構造を形成することができる。 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-069275 describes a housing shield structure. This housing shield structure includes a case that houses an electronic circuit board and has a shielding function, and a shield cover that covers an opening of the case. The case and shield cover are formed by casting using materials such as aluminum, magnesium and zinc. Further, the housing shield structure includes a packing formed of conductive rubber which is interposed and arranged between the case and the shield cover. That is, the packing has a shielding function and a waterproof function. Therefore, a complete shield structure can be formed in the case.
 特開2002-185181号公報には、回路基板とシールド板との間に、電磁波シールドゴム製のガスケットを配置することが記載されている。さらに、特開2002-185181号公報には、筐体の内面とシールド板との間に、上記同様のガスケットを配置することが記載されている。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-185181 describes that a gasket made of electromagnetic wave shield rubber is arranged between a circuit board and a shield plate. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-185181 describes that a gasket similar to the above is arranged between the inner surface of the housing and the shield plate.
 また、電子回路基板を収容する箱型電子ユニットは、電子回路基板を収容するケースと、コネクタと、蓋とを備えるものが存在する。特開2010-258360号公報に記載の箱型電子ユニットは、電子回路基板、ケース、コネクタ、蓋を別体に形成しており、接着剤によりケースとコネクタを接着すると共にケースと蓋とを接着している。 In addition, some box-type electronic units that house an electronic circuit board include a case that houses the electronic circuit board, a connector, and a lid. In the box-type electronic unit described in JP-A-2010-258360, an electronic circuit board, a case, a connector, and a lid are separately formed, and the case and the connector are adhered with an adhesive and the case and the lid are adhered to each other. doing.
 特開2007-235013号公報に記載の箱型電子ユニットにおいては、電子回路基板とコネクタとが一体に形成されており、他の要素が別体に形成されている。そして、ケースとコネクタとの対向面にシール材を塗布し、ケースと蓋との対向面およびコネクタと蓋との対向面に他のシール材を塗布している。ケースと蓋とは、ビス等の固定具によって固定される。 In the box-type electronic unit described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-235013, the electronic circuit board and the connector are integrally formed, and other elements are separately formed. Then, a sealing material is applied to the facing surface between the case and the connector, and another sealing material is applied to the facing surface between the case and the lid and the facing surface between the connector and the lid. The case and lid are fixed by a fixture such as a screw.
 国際公開第2018/016261号に記載の箱型電子ユニットにおいては、ケースとコネクタとが一体に形成されており、蓋がケースおよびコネクタの一体要素とは別体に形成され、ケースおよびコネクタの一体要素と蓋との対向面にシール材が介在している。 In the box-type electronic unit described in International Publication No. 2018/016261, the case and the connector are integrally formed, the lid is formed separately from the integrated element of the case and the connector, and the case and the connector are integrated. A sealing material is interposed on the facing surface between the element and the lid.
 近年、箱型電子ユニットにおいて、ケースは、軽量化、低コスト化の観点から、金属ではなく、樹脂を用いることが増加している。ここで、箱型電子ユニットは、電子回路基板に対して電磁波シールド機能を有することが求められる。電磁波シールド機能には、電磁波を反射する機能と、電磁波を吸収する機能とが含まれる。 In recent years, in box-type electronic units, the use of resin instead of metal for the case has been increasing from the viewpoint of weight reduction and cost reduction. Here, the box-type electronic unit is required to have an electromagnetic wave shielding function with respect to the electronic circuit board. The electromagnetic wave shielding function includes a function of reflecting electromagnetic waves and a function of absorbing electromagnetic waves.
 電磁波シールド機能を有する部位において、樹脂ケースとは熱膨張率が異なる材料により樹脂ケースとは別体に形成された電磁波シールド部材を、樹脂ケースに配置することがある。このような構造において、例えば、樹脂ケースと電磁波シールド部材の周縁との接続部位において、熱膨張率の違いに起因して、両者の相対的位置が変化するおそれがある。この相対的位置の変化によって、隙間が生じ、所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮できなくなるおそれがある。 In the part having the electromagnetic wave shielding function, an electromagnetic wave shielding member formed separately from the resin case by a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the resin case may be arranged in the resin case. In such a structure, for example, at the connection portion between the resin case and the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic wave shield member, the relative positions of the two may change due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to this change in relative position, a gap may be created and the desired electromagnetic wave shielding function may not be exhibited.
 特開2010-258360号公報に記載の箱型電子ユニットにおいては、コネクタとケースとの接合も、ケースと蓋との接合も、全て接着剤により行っている。通常、ケースにコネクタを接合することと、ケースに蓋を接合することとは、同時に行われず異なるタイミングであるため、接着剤の塗布工程が異なるタイミングで複数回行われる。接着剤の塗布工程の回数が多いことに伴う高コスト化を招来する。特に、作業者が、接着剤を塗布する場合には、接着剤の塗布精度を維持する必要があり、塗布工程が多いほど塗布精度の維持は容易ではない。従って、接着剤として機能する材料の供給回数を低減することが求められる。 In the box-type electronic unit described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-258360, both the connector and the case are joined and the case and the lid are joined by an adhesive. Usually, joining the connector to the case and joining the lid to the case are not performed at the same time but at different timings, so that the adhesive application process is performed a plurality of times at different timings. The cost increases due to the large number of adhesive application steps. In particular, when an operator applies an adhesive, it is necessary to maintain the coating accuracy of the adhesive, and it is not easy to maintain the coating accuracy as the number of coating steps increases. Therefore, it is required to reduce the number of times the material functioning as an adhesive is supplied.
 特開2007-235013号公報に記載の箱型電子ユニットにおいても、特開2010-258360号公報と同様の接着剤のタイミングに伴う課題を同様に有している。また、国際公開第2018/016261号に記載の箱型電子ユニットは、ケースとコネクタとが一体に形成されているため、接着剤の塗布工程の回数は低減されている。しかし、ケースとコネクタとを一体とするため、当該一体要素の成形が高コストとなる。また、樹脂により一体成形されるため、ケースに、放熱機能や電磁波シールド機能を持たせることが容易ではない。各要素を別体に形成することにより一体要素の成形に伴う高コスト化を防止することが求められる。 The box-type electronic unit described in JP-A-2007-23503 also has the same problems associated with the timing of the adhesive as in JP-A-2010-258360. Further, in the box-type electronic unit described in International Publication No. 2018/016261, since the case and the connector are integrally formed, the number of adhesive application steps is reduced. However, since the case and the connector are integrated, the molding of the integrated element becomes high cost. Further, since it is integrally molded with resin, it is not easy to give the case a heat dissipation function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function. It is required to prevent the cost increase due to the molding of the integrated element by forming each element separately.
 本発明は、熱膨張率の違いに起因して樹脂ケースと電磁波シールド部材との相対的位置が変化したとしても、所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる箱型電子ユニットを提供することを目的の1つとする。また、本発明は、コネクタを他の要素と別体に形成し、且つ、接合する要素同士の一部のみを接着機能を有する材料により接合することで、接着機能する材料の供給回数を低減することができる箱型電子ユニットおよびその製造方法を提供することを目的の他の1つとする。 The present invention provides a box-shaped electronic unit capable of exhibiting a desired electromagnetic wave shielding function even if the relative positions of the resin case and the electromagnetic wave shielding member change due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion. It is one of the purposes. Further, the present invention reduces the number of times of supplying a material having an adhesive function by forming a connector separately from other elements and joining only a part of the elements to be bonded with a material having an adhesive function. It is one of the other purposes of providing a box-shaped electronic unit capable of providing a method for manufacturing the same.

 第一の箱型電子ユニットは、電子回路基板と、前記電子回路基板を収容する樹脂ケースと、前記ケースとは熱膨張率の異なる材料により前記ケースとは別体に形成され、前記ケースに取り付けられ、少なくとも一部を露出している電磁波シールド部材と、電磁波シールド性を有する高分子粘弾性材料により成形され、前記ケースおよび前記電磁波シールド部材に接触した状態で前記ケースと前記電磁波シールド部材とに跨って配置される粘弾性シールド層とを備える。
(1. First box-type electronic unit)
The first box-shaped electronic unit is formed separately from the case by using an electronic circuit board, a resin case for accommodating the electronic circuit board, and a material having a thermal expansion coefficient different from that of the case, and is attached to the case. The case and the electromagnetic wave shield member are formed in contact with the case and the electromagnetic wave shield member by being formed of an electromagnetic wave shield member that exposes at least a part thereof and a polymer viscoelastic material having an electromagnetic wave shield property. It is provided with a viscoelastic shield layer arranged so as to straddle it.
 当該箱型電子ユニットによれば、電磁波シールド性を有する高分子粘弾性材料により成形された粘弾性シールド層が、電磁波シールド部材に接触した状態で、樹脂ケースと電磁波シールド部材とに跨って配置されている。従って、樹脂ケースと電磁波シールド部材とが熱膨張率の異なる材料により成形されることによって、樹脂ケースと電磁波シールド部材との相対的位置が変化するとしても、粘弾性シールド層が相対的位置の変化に追従することができる。従って、所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。 According to the box-shaped electronic unit, a viscoelastic shield layer formed of a polymer viscoelastic material having an electromagnetic wave shielding property is arranged straddling the resin case and the electromagnetic wave shielding member in a state of being in contact with the electromagnetic wave shielding member. ing. Therefore, even if the relative positions of the resin case and the electromagnetic wave shield member change due to the resin case and the electromagnetic wave shield member being molded by materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion, the viscoelastic shield layer changes in the relative position. Can be followed. Therefore, the desired electromagnetic wave shielding function can be exhibited.
 (2.第二の箱型電子ユニット)
 第二の箱型電子ユニットは、電子回路基板と、前記電子回路基板を収容し、蓋用開口部およびコネクタ用開口部を有するケースと、前記ケースの前記蓋用開口部を閉塞する蓋と、前記ケースと別体に形成され、前記ケースの前記コネクタ用開口部に固定され、前記電子回路基板と外部とを電気的に接続するコネクタと、高分子粘弾性材料により形成され、前記ケースの前記蓋用開口部の周縁に接着され、前記蓋に対して非接着状態であり且つシールした状態で前記蓋を保持する第一介在部材と、高分子粘弾性材料により形成され、前記ケースの前記コネクタ用開口部の周縁と前記コネクタとの対向面のそれぞれに接着され、且つ、前記コネクタ用開口部の周縁と前記コネクタとの間をシールする第二介在部材とを備える。
(2. Second box-type electronic unit)
The second box-shaped electronic unit includes an electronic circuit board, a case that houses the electronic circuit board and has a lid opening and a connector opening, and a lid that closes the lid opening of the case. The case is formed separately from the case, fixed to the opening for the connector of the case, and formed of a connector that electrically connects the electronic circuit board and the outside, and a polymer viscoelastic material. The connector of the case, formed of a first interposition member that is adhered to the peripheral edge of the lid opening and holds the lid in a non-adherent and sealed state to the lid, and a polymer viscoelastic material. It is provided with a second intervening member that is adhered to each of the peripheral edge of the opening for the connector and the facing surface of the connector and that seals between the peripheral edge of the opening for the connector and the connector.
 コネクタを他の要素と別体に形成することにより、低コスト化を図ることができる。特に、コネクタを他要素と別体に形成することにより、コネクタの本体に端子を装着することが容易となる。 Cost reduction can be achieved by forming the connector separately from other elements. In particular, by forming the connector separately from other elements, it becomes easy to attach the terminal to the main body of the connector.
 さらに、ケースとコネクタとの間に介在する第二介在部材は、両者に接着しているのに対して、ケースと蓋との間に介在する第一介在部材は、一方である蓋に接着していない。第一介在部材は、ケースに接着されるが、蓋には接着されておらず、蓋に対して非接着状態で保持する。つまり、第一介在部材および第二介在部材は、ケースとコネクタの2要素に接着されており、蓋を接着対象としていない。このように、介在部材により接着する対象をケースとコネクタのみとすることにより、接着機能する介在部材の形成回数を低減することができる。 Further, the second intervening member interposed between the case and the connector is adhered to both, while the first intervening member interposed between the case and the lid is adhered to one lid. Not. The first intervening member is adhered to the case, but not to the lid, and is held in a non-adhesive state with respect to the lid. That is, the first intervening member and the second intervening member are adhered to the two elements of the case and the connector, and the lid is not the object of adhesion. In this way, by limiting the objects to be bonded by the intervening member to only the case and the connector, the number of times the intervening member having an adhesive function is formed can be reduced.
 (3.箱型電子ユニットの製造方法)
 箱型電子ユニットの製造方法は、上記の第二の箱型電子ユニットの製造方法であって、前記ケースおよび前記コネクタを型内に配置する工程と、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を供給し、前記第一介在部材の領域および前記第二介在部材の領域に前記流動性素材を充填する工程と、加熱し且つ前記流動性素材を固化させることにより前記第一介在部材および前記第二介在部材を形成する工程と、前記蓋を装着する工程とを備える。
(3. Manufacturing method of box-type electronic unit)
The method for manufacturing the box-type electronic unit is the above-mentioned method for manufacturing the second box-type electronic unit, which comprises a step of arranging the case and the connector in the mold and supplying a fluid material of a polymer viscoelastic material. Then, the step of filling the area of the first intervening member and the area of the second intervening member with the fluid material, and the step of heating and solidifying the fluid material to solidify the first intervening member and the second interposition member. It includes a step of forming a member and a step of attaching the lid.
 高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を用いることで、流動性素材を型内の所望位置に容易に充填することができる。そして、流動性素材を加熱し且つ固化させることにより、第一介在部材および第二介在部材を形成することにより、第一介在部材および第二介在部材が同時に形成される。換言すると、流動性素材の加熱および固化により、第一介在部材がケースに接着されると同時に、第二介在部材がケースおよびコネクタに接着される。従って、流動性素材を型内に充填させることと、第一介在部材および第二介在部材を接着させることとが、容易に行うことができる。その結果、低コスト化を図ることができる。さらに、第一介在部材と第二介在部材とを同時に形成することができるため、充填回数を低減することができる。このことからも、低コスト化を図ることができる。 By using the fluid material of the polymer viscoelastic material, the fluid material can be easily filled in the desired position in the mold. Then, by heating and solidifying the fluid material, the first intervening member and the second intervening member are formed, so that the first intervening member and the second intervening member are formed at the same time. In other words, the heating and solidification of the fluid material causes the first intervening member to adhere to the case and at the same time the second intervening member to adhere to the case and connector. Therefore, it is possible to easily fill the mold with the fluid material and to bond the first intervening member and the second interposing member. As a result, the cost can be reduced. Further, since the first intervening member and the second intervening member can be formed at the same time, the number of fillings can be reduced. From this as well, it is possible to reduce the cost.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the box-shaped electronic unit 1 has a flat outer shape due to the resin case 10 and the lid 20. In this example, the outer shape of the box-shaped electronic unit 1 is shown as a rectangular flat shape, but it can be a flat shape having an arbitrary shape such as another polygon or a circle. An electronic circuit board 30 (shown in FIG. 3) is housed inside the resin case 10 and the lid 20. Further, the resin case 10 is provided with a heat dissipation opening 11a1 that penetrates on the back surface. Further, the resin case 10 is provided with a non-penetrating recess 11a2 on the back surface.
 箱型電子ユニット1は、さらに、樹脂ケース10と蓋20とにより形成される扁平状の外形から外部に突出するコネクタ40を備える。コネクタ40は、外部コネクタ(図示せず)に嵌め込まれると共に電気的に接続される。コネクタ40の端子は、電子回路基板30(図3に示す)の端子に接触することにより、電気的に接続されている。ここで、本例では、箱型電子ユニット1は、1つのコネクタ40を備える場合を例に挙げるが、複数のコネクタ40を備えることもできる。 The box-type electronic unit 1 further includes a connector 40 that protrudes outward from a flat outer shape formed by the resin case 10 and the lid 20.

(2-2. Configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 1)
The configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. As shown in FIG. 3, the box-shaped electronic unit 1 includes a resin case 10, a lid 20, an electronic circuit board 30, a connector 40, electromagnetic wave shielding members 50 and 60, a viscoelastic joining member 70, and viscoelasticity. A seal member 80 and a viscoelastic shield layer 90 are provided.
 樹脂ケース10は、樹脂材料により容器形状に形成されている。樹脂ケース10を形成する樹脂材料は、導電性を有しない樹脂材料である。つまり、当該樹脂材料は、シールド機能を有しない。当該樹脂材料は、例えば、汎用プラスチック、エンプラ、スーパーエンプラなどにより形成される。詳細には、当該樹脂材料は、例えば、ABS、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンサルファイド等である。 The resin case 10 is formed in a container shape by a resin material. The resin material forming the resin case 10 is a resin material having no conductivity. That is, the resin material does not have a shielding function. The resin material is formed of, for example, general-purpose plastic, engineering plastic, super engineering plastic, or the like. Specifically, the resin material is, for example, ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide and the like.
 また、樹脂ケース10は、図4に示すように、ケース本体11と仕切板12とを備えており、ケース本体11と仕切板12とを一体成形された部材である。ケース本体11は、内部空間A0を形成する容器形状に形成され、図4の上方に主開口を有している。本例では、ケース本体11は、矩形の容器形状に形成されている。ケース本体11は、図4に示すように、底面11aと、底面11aの周縁に立設された周壁11bと、コネクタ保持部11cとを備える。従って、ケース本体11は、周壁11bの先端によって形成される主開口を有する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the resin case 10 includes a case main body 11 and a partition plate 12, and is a member in which the case main body 11 and the partition plate 12 are integrally molded. The case body 11 is formed in the shape of a container forming the internal space A0, and has a main opening above FIG. In this example, the case body 11 is formed in a rectangular container shape. As shown in FIG. 4, the case main body 11 includes a bottom surface 11a, a peripheral wall 11b erected on the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 11a, and a connector holding portion 11c. Therefore, the case body 11 has a main opening formed by the tip of the peripheral wall 11b.
 ケース本体11の底面11aは、例えば、矩形板状に形成されている。底面11aは、図5に示すように、底面11aの法線方向に貫通する放熱用開口11a1を備える。放熱用開口11a1は、電子回路基板30により生じた熱を外部へ排出するための開口である。本例では、放熱用開口11a1は、矩形開口である。さらに、ケース本体11の底面11aは、図5に示すように、放熱用開口11a1とは異なる位置に、底面11aの外面側に、非貫通の凹所11a2を備える。 The bottom surface 11a of the case body 11 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface 11a includes a heat dissipation opening 11a1 that penetrates the bottom surface 11a in the normal direction. The heat dissipation opening 11a1 is an opening for discharging the heat generated by the electronic circuit board 30 to the outside. In this example, the heat dissipation opening 11a1 is a rectangular opening. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface 11a of the case body 11 is provided with a non-penetrating recess 11a2 on the outer surface side of the bottom surface 11a at a position different from the heat dissipation opening 11a1.
 ケース本体11の周壁11bは、図4に示すように、内側に、電子回路基板30を収容する空間A0を形成する。本例では、周壁11bは、底面11aの周縁全周に設けられている。つまり、周壁11bは、矩形枠状に形成されている。そして、周壁11bの先端によって、矩形の主開口が形成される。 As shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11 forms a space A0 for accommodating the electronic circuit board 30 inside. In this example, the peripheral wall 11b is provided on the entire peripheral edge of the bottom surface 11a. That is, the peripheral wall 11b is formed in a rectangular frame shape. Then, a rectangular main opening is formed by the tip of the peripheral wall 11b.
 周壁11bの四隅には、蓋20の四隅を支持する外側座面11b1が形成されている。また、周壁11bより形成される内部空間A0の四隅には、電子回路基板30の四隅を支持する内側座面11b2が形成されている。 At the four corners of the peripheral wall 11b, outer seating surfaces 11b1 that support the four corners of the lid 20 are formed. Further, at the four corners of the internal space A0 formed from the peripheral wall 11b, inner seat surfaces 11b2 that support the four corners of the electronic circuit board 30 are formed.
 コネクタ保持部11cは、図4に示すように、周壁11bの一部に形成されている。本例では、コネクタ保持部11cは、周壁11bの一辺に、底面11aの法線方向に貫通する孔である。他の例としては、コネクタ保持部11cは、周壁11bの一辺に、底面11aの面方向に貫通する孔または切欠としてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 4, the connector holding portion 11c is formed in a part of the peripheral wall 11b. In this example, the connector holding portion 11c is a hole that penetrates one side of the peripheral wall 11b in the normal direction of the bottom surface 11a. As another example, the connector holding portion 11c may be a hole or a notch on one side of the peripheral wall 11b that penetrates in the surface direction of the bottom surface 11a.
 仕切板12は、図4に示すように、ケース本体11の内部空間A0に設けられている。仕切板12は、基端が底面11aに接続され、周壁11bに対向するように形成されている。ただし、仕切板12の一部は、周壁11bに接続されている。従って、仕切板12は、ケース本体11の内部空間A0を、複数の空間A1,A2,A3,A4に仕切る。 As shown in FIG. 4, the partition plate 12 is provided in the internal space A0 of the case body 11. The partition plate 12 is formed so that the base end is connected to the bottom surface 11a and faces the peripheral wall 11b. However, a part of the partition plate 12 is connected to the peripheral wall 11b. Therefore, the partition plate 12 partitions the internal space A0 of the case body 11 into a plurality of spaces A1, A2, A3, and A4.
 複数の空間A1,A2,A3,A4のそれぞれは、電磁波シールド機能を有する。ここで、電磁波シールド機能は、電磁波を反射する機能、電磁波を吸収する機能を含む。空間A1-A4は、全て同一の電磁波シールド機能を有するようにしてもよいし、異なる電磁波シールド機能を有するようにしてもよい。 Each of the plurality of spaces A1, A2, A3, and A4 has an electromagnetic wave shielding function. Here, the electromagnetic wave shielding function includes a function of reflecting electromagnetic waves and a function of absorbing electromagnetic waves. The spaces A1-A4 may all have the same electromagnetic wave shielding function, or may have different electromagnetic wave shielding functions.
 本例では、第一空間A1は、電磁波を吸収する機能を有する電磁波吸収空間である。第二空間A2、第三空間A3、第四空間A4は、電磁波を反射する機能を有する。また、図3に示すように、第一空間A1は、ケース本体11の内部空間A0における中央に位置する矩形空間である。第一空間A1は、底面11aと仕切板12により形成される。 In this example, the first space A1 is an electromagnetic wave absorption space having a function of absorbing electromagnetic waves. The second space A2, the third space A3, and the fourth space A4 have a function of reflecting electromagnetic waves. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first space A1 is a rectangular space located at the center of the internal space A0 of the case body 11. The first space A1 is formed by the bottom surface 11a and the partition plate 12.
 第二空間A2は、ケース本体11の内部空間A0における周囲のうち、コネクタ保持部11cとは反対側に位置する大きな空間である。第二空間A2は、底面11a、周壁11bの一部、および、仕切板12により形成される。また、第二空間A2を形成する底面11aに、放熱用開口11a1が形成されている。 The second space A2 is a large space located on the opposite side of the internal space A0 of the case body 11 from the connector holding portion 11c. The second space A2 is formed by a bottom surface 11a, a part of the peripheral wall 11b, and a partition plate 12. Further, a heat dissipation opening 11a1 is formed on the bottom surface 11a forming the second space A2.
 第三空間A3は、ケース本体11の内部空間A0における周囲のうち、コネクタ保持部11c側に位置する空間である。第三空間A3は、底面11a、周壁11bの一部、および、仕切板12により形成される。第四空間A4は、ケース本体11の内部空間A0における周囲のうち、コネクタ保持部11c側に位置する空間である。第四空間A4は、底面11a、周壁11bの一部、および、仕切板12により形成される。 The third space A3 is a space located on the connector holding portion 11c side of the periphery of the internal space A0 of the case body 11. The third space A3 is formed by a bottom surface 11a, a part of the peripheral wall 11b, and a partition plate 12. The fourth space A4 is a space located on the connector holding portion 11c side of the periphery of the internal space A0 of the case body 11. The fourth space A4 is formed by a bottom surface 11a, a part of the peripheral wall 11b, and a partition plate 12.
 蓋20は、図3に示すように、ケース本体11の主開口、すなわち、周壁11bの先端によって形成される主開口を閉塞する。蓋20は、ケース本体11の周壁11bの外側座面11b1に支持され、締結部材(図示せず)によって締結される。また、本例では、図3に示すように、蓋20は、板状、例えば矩形板状に形成されている。ただし、蓋20は、ケース本体11を上下反転させた形状、すなわち内側に空間を有する形状に形成してもよい。 As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 20 closes the main opening of the case body 11, that is, the main opening formed by the tip of the peripheral wall 11b. The lid 20 is supported by the outer seat surface 11b1 of the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11, and is fastened by a fastening member (not shown). Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 20 is formed in a plate shape, for example, a rectangular plate shape. However, the lid 20 may be formed so that the case body 11 is turned upside down, that is, a shape having a space inside.
 電子回路基板30は、図5に示すように、基板本体31に電子回路部品32を実装している。本例では、電子回路部品32は、基板本体31における図5の下面側、すなわち、樹脂ケース10側の面に実装されている。ただし、電子回路部品32は、基板本体31における図5の上面側、すなわち、蓋20側の面にも実装してもよい。電子回路基板30の四隅は、ケース本体11の周壁11bの内側座面11b2に支持される。 As shown in FIG. 5, the electronic circuit board 30 has an electronic circuit component 32 mounted on a board body 31. In this example, the electronic circuit component 32 is mounted on the lower surface side of FIG. 5 of the substrate main body 31, that is, the surface on the resin case 10 side. However, the electronic circuit component 32 may also be mounted on the upper surface side of FIG. 5 of the substrate main body 31, that is, the surface on the lid 20 side. The four corners of the electronic circuit board 30 are supported by the inner seating surface 11b2 of the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11.
 ここで、電子回路基板30は、図5に示すように、複数の区画B1,B2,B3,B4を有する。第一区画B1に配置されている電子回路部品は、第一空間A1に配置され、第二区画B2に配置されている電子回路部品は、第二空間A2に配置されている。第三区画B3に配置されている電子回路部品は、第三空間A3に配置され、第四区画B4に配置されている電子回路部品は、第四空間A4に配置されている。 Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the electronic circuit board 30 has a plurality of compartments B1, B2, B3, and B4. The electronic circuit components arranged in the first section B1 are arranged in the first space A1, and the electronic circuit parts arranged in the second section B2 are arranged in the second space A2. The electronic circuit components arranged in the third section B3 are arranged in the third space A3, and the electronic circuit parts arranged in the fourth section B4 are arranged in the fourth space A4.
 さらに、電子回路基板30は、ケース本体11の周壁11bの内側座面11b2に加えて、仕切板12の先端面によっても支持される。つまり、電子回路基板30の中央部が、仕切板12によって支持される。特に、仕切板12は、各区画B1-B4の境界面を支持する。 Further, the electronic circuit board 30 is supported by the tip surface of the partition plate 12 in addition to the inner seat surface 11b2 of the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11. That is, the central portion of the electronic circuit board 30 is supported by the partition plate 12. In particular, the partition plate 12 supports the boundary surface of each compartment B1-B4.
 図3および図5に示すように、コネクタ40の一部は、ケース本体11のコネクタ保持部11cに保持され、コネクタ40の残りの一部は、ケース本体11の外面から外方に突出している。本例では、コネクタ40は、角度を有しているが、角度を有しない直線状に形成されるようにしてもよい。また、コネクタ40が角度を有する場合、任意の角度とすることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a part of the connector 40 is held by the connector holding portion 11c of the case main body 11, and the remaining part of the connector 40 projects outward from the outer surface of the case main body 11. .. In this example, the connector 40 may be formed in a straight line having an angle but not having an angle. Further, when the connector 40 has an angle, it can be any angle.
 なお、コネクタ40は、樹脂ケース10および蓋20とは別体に形成した場合を例に挙げた。この他に、コネクタ40は、樹脂ケース10のケース本体11と同一成形されるようにしてもよい。この場合、ケース本体11は、コネクタ保持部11cを有さず、コネクタ40の一部が、第三空間A3を形成する壁面を構成する。 The case where the connector 40 is formed separately from the resin case 10 and the lid 20 is taken as an example. In addition to this, the connector 40 may be formed in the same shape as the case body 11 of the resin case 10. In this case, the case body 11 does not have the connector holding portion 11c, and a part of the connector 40 constitutes a wall surface forming the third space A3.
 電磁波シールド部材50は、電磁波シールド機能を有すると共に、放熱機能を有する。つまり、電磁波シールド部材50は、ヒートシンクである。電磁波シールド部材50は、例えば、アルミニウム、銅、鉄等の伝熱特性の良好な金属材料により形成されている。もちろん、電磁波シールド部材50は、金属材料以外の材料により形成してもよい。従って、電磁波シールド部材50は、樹脂ケース10とは熱膨張率の異なる材料により、樹脂ケース10とは別体に形成されている。 The electromagnetic wave shield member 50 has an electromagnetic wave shield function and a heat dissipation function. That is, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is a heat sink. The electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is formed of, for example, a metal material having good heat transfer characteristics such as aluminum, copper, and iron. Of course, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 may be formed of a material other than the metal material. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is formed separately from the resin case 10 by a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the resin case 10.
 電磁波シールド部材50は、樹脂ケース10のシールド対象領域の1つである第二空間A2に配置されている。電磁波シールド部材50は、第二空間A2を形成する底面11aの放熱用開口11a1に取り付けられている。本例においては、電磁波シールド部材50は、放熱用開口11a1に嵌め込まれることで、ケース本体11の底面11aから離脱不能に配置されている。特に、電磁波シールド部材50は、底面11aに、底面11aの法線の両方向に係止されている。 The electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged in the second space A2, which is one of the shield target areas of the resin case 10. The electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is attached to the heat dissipation opening 11a1 on the bottom surface 11a forming the second space A2. In this example, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged so as not to be detached from the bottom surface 11a of the case body 11 by being fitted into the heat dissipation opening 11a1. In particular, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is locked to the bottom surface 11a in both directions along the normal of the bottom surface 11a.
 さらに、電磁波シールド部材50は、放熱用開口11a1に配置されているため、第二空間A2の内壁面の一部を構成する。つまり、電磁波シールド部材50の少なくとも一部は、第二空間A2の内側に露出している。さらに、電磁波シールド部材50は、放熱用開口11a1に配置されているため、ケース本体11の底面11aの外側にも露出している。電磁波シールド部材50は、放熱効果を高めるために、底面11aの外側に突出する複数の突起51を備える。 Further, since the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged in the heat dissipation opening 11a1, it constitutes a part of the inner wall surface of the second space A2. That is, at least a part of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is exposed inside the second space A2. Further, since the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged in the heat dissipation opening 11a1, it is also exposed to the outside of the bottom surface 11a of the case body 11. The electromagnetic wave shield member 50 includes a plurality of protrusions 51 projecting to the outside of the bottom surface 11a in order to enhance the heat dissipation effect.
 電磁波シールド部材60は、電磁波シールド機能としての電磁波吸収機能を有する電磁波吸収部材である。そして、電磁波シールド部材60は、樹脂ケース10とは熱膨張率の異なる材料により、樹脂ケース10とは別体に形成されている。電磁波シールド部材60は、例えば、樹脂吸収層61および金属層62を備える。吸収対象の周波数に応じて、樹脂吸収層61の材料および厚み等が調整される。 The electromagnetic wave shielding member 60 is an electromagnetic wave absorbing member having an electromagnetic wave absorbing function as an electromagnetic wave shielding function. The electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is formed separately from the resin case 10 by using a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the resin case 10. The electromagnetic wave shield member 60 includes, for example, a resin absorbing layer 61 and a metal layer 62. The material and thickness of the resin absorbing layer 61 are adjusted according to the frequency to be absorbed.
 電磁波シールド部材60は、上記構成の他に、導電性電波吸収材料、誘電性電波吸収材料、磁性電波吸収材料の何れか1つにより形成することもできる。導電性電波吸収材料は、材料内部の抵抗によって、電波によって発生する電流を吸収するものである。誘電性電波吸収材料は、分子の分極反応に起因する誘電損失を利用するものであり、例えば、カーボン等をゴム、発泡ウレタン、発泡ポリスチロール等の誘電体に混合して形成される。磁性電波吸収材料は、磁性材料の磁気損失によって電波を吸収するものであって、鉄、ニッケル、フェライト等を使用して電波を吸収する。 In addition to the above configuration, the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 can also be formed of any one of a conductive radio wave absorbing material, a dielectric radio wave absorbing material, and a magnetic radio wave absorbing material. The conductive radio wave absorbing material absorbs the current generated by the radio wave by the resistance inside the material. The dielectric radio wave absorbing material utilizes the dielectric loss caused by the polarization reaction of molecules, and is formed by mixing, for example, carbon or the like with a dielectric material such as rubber, urethane foam, or polystyrene foam. The magnetic radio wave absorbing material absorbs radio waves by the magnetic loss of the magnetic material, and absorbs radio waves by using iron, nickel, ferrite, or the like.
 電磁波シールド部材60は、樹脂ケース10のシールド対象領域の1つである第一空間A1に配置されている。電磁波シールド部材60は、第一空間A1の内壁面の一部に配置されている。本例においては、電磁波シールド部材60は、第一空間A1を形成する底面11aに取り付けられている。電磁波シールド部材60の金属層62が底面11aに接着されており、樹脂吸収層61が金属層62における底面11aとは反対側の面に接着されている。 The electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged in the first space A1, which is one of the shield target areas of the resin case 10. The electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged on a part of the inner wall surface of the first space A1. In this example, the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is attached to the bottom surface 11a forming the first space A1. The metal layer 62 of the electromagnetic wave shielding member 60 is adhered to the bottom surface 11a, and the resin absorbing layer 61 is adhered to the surface of the metal layer 62 opposite to the bottom surface 11a.
 粘弾性接合部材70は、高分子粘弾性材料により成形されており、コネクタ保持部11cとコネクタ40とを接合する。本例では、粘弾性接合部材70は、コネクタ保持部11cの内周面とコネクタ40の外周面との間に介在されており、コネクタ保持部11cの内周面とコネクタ40の外周面とに接合されている。粘弾性接合部材70は、例えば、シリコーンゴム、エチレンプロピレンゴム等により成形される。後述するが、粘弾性接合部材70は、射出成形により成形される。従って、粘弾性接合部材70は、容易に且つ確実に、コネクタ保持部11cとコネクタ40とを接合することができる。なお、コネクタ40がケース本体11と同一成形されている場合には、粘弾性接合部材70は不要となる。 The viscoelastic joining member 70 is formed of a polymer viscoelastic material, and joins the connector holding portion 11c and the connector 40. In this example, the viscoelastic joining member 70 is interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the connector holding portion 11c and the outer peripheral surface of the connector 40, and is interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the connector holding portion 11c and the outer peripheral surface of the connector 40. It is joined. The viscoelastic bonding member 70 is formed of, for example, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, or the like. As will be described later, the viscoelastic joining member 70 is molded by injection molding. Therefore, the viscoelastic joining member 70 can easily and surely join the connector holding portion 11c and the connector 40. When the connector 40 is formed in the same shape as the case body 11, the viscoelastic joining member 70 becomes unnecessary.
 粘弾性シール部材80は、高分子粘弾性材料により成形されており、ケース本体11の周壁11bの先端面に接合されている。粘弾性シール部材80は、樹脂ケース10のケース本体11と蓋20との間のシール機能を有する。粘弾性シール部材80は、例えば、粘弾性接合部材70と同一材料により成形される。つまり、粘弾性シール部材80は、例えば、シリコーンゴム、エチレンプロピレンゴム等により成形される。 The viscoelastic seal member 80 is formed of a polymer viscoelastic material and is joined to the tip surface of the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11. The viscoelastic sealing member 80 has a sealing function between the case body 11 of the resin case 10 and the lid 20. The viscoelastic sealing member 80 is formed of, for example, the same material as the viscoelastic joining member 70. That is, the viscoelastic seal member 80 is molded of, for example, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, or the like.
 従って、粘弾性シール部材80は、ケース本体11の周壁11bに接合しており、圧縮状態で蓋20に接触されることで、シール機能を発揮することができる。また、後述するが、粘弾性シール部材80は、射出成形により成形される。従って、粘弾性シール部材80は、容易に成形することができる。 Therefore, the viscoelastic seal member 80 is joined to the peripheral wall 11b of the case body 11, and can exhibit the sealing function by being brought into contact with the lid 20 in a compressed state. Further, as will be described later, the viscoelastic seal member 80 is molded by injection molding. Therefore, the viscoelastic seal member 80 can be easily molded.
 粘弾性シールド層90は、電磁波シールド性を有する高分子粘弾性材料により成形されている。粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10における電磁波シールド空間である第一空間A1-第四空間A4を形成する内壁面に配置されている。 The viscoelastic shield layer 90 is formed of a polymer viscoelastic material having electromagnetic wave shielding properties. The viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged on the inner wall surface forming the first space A1 to the fourth space A4, which is the electromagnetic wave shielding space in the resin case 10.
 ただし、第一空間A1および第二空間A2においては、粘弾性シールド層90は、電磁波シールド部材50,60が配置されている領域において全ての領域を被覆するのではなく、電磁波シールド部材50,60の少なくとも一部を露出させた状態としている。一方、第三空間A3および第四空間A4においては、粘弾性シールド層90は、底面11a、周壁11bおよび仕切板12により形成される全ての内壁面を被覆している。さらに、粘弾性シールド層90は、仕切板12の先端面にも配置されている。 However, in the first space A1 and the second space A2, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 does not cover the entire region in the region where the electromagnetic wave shield members 50 and 60 are arranged, but the electromagnetic wave shield members 50 and 60. At least a part of is exposed. On the other hand, in the third space A3 and the fourth space A4, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 covers all the inner wall surfaces formed by the bottom surface 11a, the peripheral wall 11b, and the partition plate 12. Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is also arranged on the tip surface of the partition plate 12.
 なお、本例では、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10に配置されているのみであって、蓋20には配置されていない。ただし、粘弾性シールド層90は、蓋20にも配置されるようにしてもよい。 In this example, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is only arranged in the resin case 10 and not in the lid 20. However, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 may also be arranged on the lid 20.
 粘弾性シールド層90は、例えば、ゴムやエラストマー等の粘弾性主成分に、導電性フィラーを含有させた材料を用いる。粘弾性主成分としては、EPDM、NBR、アクリルゴム、フッ素ゴム、シリコーンゴム、クロロプレンゴム等の合成ゴムが用いられる。導電性フィラーとしては、カーボンブラックや金属粒子等が用いられる。 For the viscoelastic shield layer 90, for example, a material in which a conductive filler is contained in a viscoelastic main component such as rubber or elastomer is used. As the viscoelastic main component, synthetic rubber such as EPDM, NBR, acrylic rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber, and chloroprene rubber is used. As the conductive filler, carbon black, metal particles, or the like is used.
 従って、粘弾性シールド層90は、シールド対象領域としての第一空間A1-第四空間A4において、確実に電磁波シールド効果を発揮することができる。ただし、粘弾性シールド層90は、電磁波シールド部材50,60の少なくとも一部を露出させた状態としているため、電磁波シールド部材50,60による機能を発揮させる状態を維持することができる。すなわち、電磁波シールド部材50の露出部位によって放熱効果を発揮させることができ、電磁波シールド部材60の露出部位によって電磁波吸収機能を発揮させることができる。また、後述するが、粘弾性シールド層90は、射出成形により成形される。従って、粘弾性シールド層90は、容易に成形することができる。 Therefore, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can surely exert the electromagnetic wave shielding effect in the first space A1 to the fourth space A4 as the shield target area. However, since the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is in a state where at least a part of the electromagnetic wave shield members 50 and 60 is exposed, it is possible to maintain a state in which the electromagnetic wave shield members 50 and 60 exert their functions. That is, the heat dissipation effect can be exerted by the exposed portion of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50, and the electromagnetic wave absorption function can be exerted by the exposed portion of the electromagnetic wave shield member 60. Further, as will be described later, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is molded by injection molding. Therefore, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can be easily molded.
 (2-3.第一空間A1における電磁波シールド機能の詳細)
 第一空間A1における電磁波シールド機能の詳細について、図5を参照して説明する。第一空間A1には、電磁波吸収機能を有する電磁波シールド部材60が配置されている。詳細には、電磁波シールド部材60は、第一空間A1の内壁面を構成する底面11aに配置されている。特に、電磁波シールド部材60を構成する金属層62が、底面11aに接着されており、樹脂吸収層61が、金属層62に積層されている。
(2-3. Details of electromagnetic wave shielding function in the first space A1)
The details of the electromagnetic wave shielding function in the first space A1 will be described with reference to FIG. An electromagnetic wave shield member 60 having an electromagnetic wave absorbing function is arranged in the first space A1. Specifically, the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged on the bottom surface 11a forming the inner wall surface of the first space A1. In particular, the metal layer 62 constituting the electromagnetic wave shielding member 60 is adhered to the bottom surface 11a, and the resin absorbing layer 61 is laminated on the metal layer 62.
 粘弾性シールド層90は、第一空間A1の内壁面のうち電磁波シールド部材60が配置された領域を除く領域における面を被覆する。本例では、粘弾性シールド層90は、第一空間A1の内壁面のうち電磁波シールド部材60が配置された領域を除く領域における全ての面を被覆する。ここで、第一空間A1の内壁面とは、樹脂ケース10により形成される面を意味し、樹脂ケース10の主開口側、すなわち電子回路基板30が配置される面を含まない。 The viscoelastic shield layer 90 covers the inner wall surface of the first space A1 in a region other than the region where the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged. In this example, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 covers all the surfaces of the inner wall surface of the first space A1 except for the region where the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged. Here, the inner wall surface of the first space A1 means a surface formed by the resin case 10, and does not include the main opening side of the resin case 10, that is, the surface on which the electronic circuit board 30 is arranged.
 さらに、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10および電磁波シールド部材60に接触した状態で、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材60とに跨って配置されている。詳細には、第一空間A1においては、粘弾性シールド層90は、底面11aまたは仕切板12と電磁波シールド部材60の金属層62の周縁とに跨っている。さらに詳細には、粘弾性シールド層90は、金属層62の中央部を除き、金属層62の周縁全周に跨っている。 Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged so as to straddle the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 in a state of being in contact with the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60. Specifically, in the first space A1, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 straddles the bottom surface 11a or the partition plate 12 and the peripheral edge of the metal layer 62 of the electromagnetic wave shield member 60. More specifically, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 extends over the entire periphery of the metal layer 62 except for the central portion of the metal layer 62.
 つまり、粘弾性シールド層90は、第一空間A1の内壁面のうち電磁波シールド部材60が配置された領域を除く領域における面から、電磁波シールド部材60まで連続して配置されている。 That is, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is continuously arranged from the surface of the inner wall surface of the first space A1 excluding the region where the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 is arranged to the electromagnetic wave shield member 60.
 従って、第一空間A1を形成する内壁面には、電磁波シールド部材60と粘弾性シールド層90との少なくとも一方が存在する。特に、粘弾性シールド層90のうち電磁波シールド部材60に接触している部分においては、粘弾性シールド層90と電磁波シールド部材60との両者が存在する。つまり、第一空間A1の内壁面の全ての面において、電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。 Therefore, at least one of the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 and the viscoelastic shield layer 90 exists on the inner wall surface forming the first space A1. In particular, in the portion of the viscoelastic shield layer 90 that is in contact with the electromagnetic wave shield member 60, both the viscoelastic shield layer 90 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 are present. That is, the electromagnetic wave shielding function can be exhibited on all surfaces of the inner wall surface of the first space A1.
 さらに、粘弾性シールド層90が、電磁波シールド部材60に接触した状態で、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材60とに跨って配置されている。ここで、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材60とは、熱膨張率が異なる材料により成形されている。そのため、温度変化によって、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材60との相対的位置が変化する。しかし、相対的位置が変化したとしても、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材60との相対的位置の変化に追従することができる。従って、所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。 Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged so as to straddle the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 in a state of being in contact with the electromagnetic wave shield member 60. Here, the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 are formed of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion. Therefore, the relative position of the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60 changes due to the temperature change. However, even if the relative position changes, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can follow the change in the relative position between the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 60. Therefore, the desired electromagnetic wave shielding function can be exhibited.
 また、電磁波シールド部材60を構成する金属層62は、樹脂吸収層61に積層して接着された積層部62aと、積層部62aの外周から外方に張り出した鍔部62bとを備える。そして、粘弾性シールド層90は、底面11aまたは仕切板12と金属層62の鍔部とに跨っている。粘弾性シールド層90は、金属層62と連続させることにより、第一空間A1において電磁波反射機能を連続して発揮することができる。 Further, the metal layer 62 constituting the electromagnetic wave shielding member 60 includes a laminated portion 62a that is laminated and adhered to the resin absorbing layer 61, and a flange portion 62b that projects outward from the outer periphery of the laminated portion 62a. The viscoelastic shield layer 90 straddles the bottom surface 11a or the partition plate 12 and the flange portion of the metal layer 62. By making the viscoelastic shield layer 90 continuous with the metal layer 62, the electromagnetic wave reflection function can be continuously exhibited in the first space A1.
 一方、電磁波吸収機能を有する樹脂吸収層61には、粘弾性シールド層90は重なって配置されていない。そのため、粘弾性シールド層90が、樹脂吸収層61による電磁波吸収機能に対して、悪影響を及ぼすことを防止できる。つまり、所望の電磁波吸収機能を発揮させることができる。 On the other hand, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is not arranged so as to overlap the resin absorbing layer 61 having an electromagnetic wave absorbing function. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the viscoelastic shield layer 90 from adversely affecting the electromagnetic wave absorption function of the resin absorption layer 61. That is, the desired electromagnetic wave absorption function can be exhibited.
 (2-4.第二空間A2における電磁波シールド機能の詳細)
 第二空間A2における電磁波シールド機能の詳細について、図5を参照して説明する。第二空間A2には、放熱機能を有する電磁波シールド部材50が配置されている。詳細には、電磁波シールド部材50が、底面11aの放熱用開口11a1に嵌め込まれている。
(2-4. Details of electromagnetic wave shielding function in the second space A2)
The details of the electromagnetic wave shielding function in the second space A2 will be described with reference to FIG. An electromagnetic wave shield member 50 having a heat dissipation function is arranged in the second space A2. Specifically, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is fitted in the heat dissipation opening 11a1 on the bottom surface 11a.
 粘弾性シールド層90は、第二空間A2の内壁面のうち電磁波シールド部材50が配置された領域を除く領域における面を被覆する。本例では、粘弾性シールド層90は、第二空間A2の内壁面のうち電磁波シールド部材50が配置された領域を除く領域における全ての面を被覆する。ここで、第二空間A2の内壁面とは、樹脂ケース10および電磁波シールド部材50により形成される面を意味し、樹脂ケース10の主開口側、すなわち電子回路基板30が配置される面を含まない。 The viscoelastic shield layer 90 covers the inner wall surface of the second space A2 in a region other than the region where the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged. In this example, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 covers all the surfaces of the inner wall surface of the second space A2 except the region where the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is arranged. Here, the inner wall surface of the second space A2 means a surface formed by the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shielding member 50, and includes the main opening side of the resin case 10, that is, the surface on which the electronic circuit board 30 is arranged. Absent.
 さらに、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10および電磁波シールド部材50に接触した状態で、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50とに跨って配置されている。詳細には、粘弾性シールド層90は、底面11a、周壁11bまたは仕切板12と、電磁波シールド部材50とに跨っている。さらに詳細には、粘弾性シールド層90は、底面11aの放熱用開口11a1の周縁全周と、電磁波シールド部材50の中央部を除く電磁波シールド部材50の周縁全周とに跨っている。 Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged so as to straddle the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 in a state of being in contact with the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. Specifically, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 straddles the bottom surface 11a, the peripheral wall 11b or the partition plate 12, and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. More specifically, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 straddles the entire peripheral edge of the heat dissipation opening 11a1 on the bottom surface 11a and the entire peripheral edge of the electromagnetic wave shielding member 50 excluding the central portion of the electromagnetic wave shielding member 50.
 従って、第二空間A2を形成する内壁面には、電磁波シールド部材50と粘弾性シールド層90との少なくとも一方が存在する。特に、粘弾性シールド層90のうち電磁波シールド部材50に接触している部分においては、粘弾性シールド層90と電磁波シールド部材50との両者が存在する。つまり、第二空間A2の内壁面の全ての面において、電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。 Therefore, at least one of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 and the viscoelastic shield layer 90 exists on the inner wall surface forming the second space A2. In particular, in the portion of the viscoelastic shield layer 90 that is in contact with the electromagnetic wave shield member 50, both the viscoelastic shield layer 90 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 are present. That is, the electromagnetic wave shielding function can be exhibited on all surfaces of the inner wall surface of the second space A2.
 さらに、粘弾性シールド層90が、電磁波シールド部材50に接触した状態で、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50とに跨って配置されている。ここで、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50とは、熱膨張率が異なる材料により成形されている。そのため、温度変化によって、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50との相対的位置が変化する。しかし、相対的位置が変化したとしても、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50との相対的位置の変化に追従することができる。従って、所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。 Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged so as to straddle the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 in a state of being in contact with the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. Here, the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 are formed of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion. Therefore, the relative position of the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 changes due to the temperature change. However, even if the relative position changes, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can follow the change in the relative position between the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. Therefore, the desired electromagnetic wave shielding function can be exhibited.
 また、粘弾性シールド層90は、電磁波シールド部材50の少なくとも一部を露出させた状態としている。ここで、電磁波シールド部材50は、放熱機能を有する部材である。つまり、粘弾性シールド層90は、電磁波シールド部材50の少なくとも一部には重なって配置されていない。そのため、粘弾性シールド層90が、電磁波シールド部材50による放熱機能に対して、悪影響を及ぼすことを防止できる。つまり、電磁波シールド部材50における露出部位は、放熱機能を発揮することができる。 Further, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is in a state where at least a part of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is exposed. Here, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is a member having a heat dissipation function. That is, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is not arranged so as to overlap at least a part of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the viscoelastic shield layer 90 from adversely affecting the heat dissipation function of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50. That is, the exposed portion of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 can exert a heat dissipation function.
 さらに、電磁波シールド部材50は、樹脂ケース10のケース本体11の底面11aに形成された放熱用開口11a1に嵌め込まれている。図5に示すように、嵌め込まれた状態において、樹脂ケース10の底面11aと電磁波シールド部材50の面とにより、階段状に形成されている。そして、粘弾性シールド層90は、階段状の部位にて樹脂ケース10の底面11aと電磁波シールド部材50とに跨って配置されている。 Further, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is fitted into the heat dissipation opening 11a1 formed on the bottom surface 11a of the case body 11 of the resin case 10. As shown in FIG. 5, in the fitted state, the bottom surface 11a of the resin case 10 and the surface of the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 form a stepped shape. The viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged so as to straddle the bottom surface 11a of the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 at a stepped portion.
 さらに詳細には、粘弾性シールド層90の層厚は、階段状の段差部位における層厚を、階段状の段差部位の周囲における層厚よりも厚くなるように形成されている。層厚が厚いほど、変位追従性が高くなる。つまり、層厚を上記のように形成することで、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50との相対的位置が変化したとしても、粘弾性シールド層90が、より確実に、樹脂ケース10と電磁波シールド部材50との相対的位置の変化に追従することができる。 More specifically, the layer thickness of the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is formed so that the layer thickness at the stepped step portion is thicker than the layer thickness around the stepped step portion. The thicker the layer, the higher the displacement followability. That is, by forming the layer thickness as described above, even if the relative positions of the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 change, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 more reliably secures the resin case 10 and the electromagnetic wave shield. It is possible to follow a change in the position relative to the member 50.

 図5に示すように、粘弾性シールド層90は、仕切板12の先端面にも配置されている。つまり、粘弾性シールド層90は、隣接する空間を形成するそれぞれの内壁面(仕切板12の側壁面)と、それぞれの内壁面との境界部分に位置する仕切板12の先端面とに配置されている。より詳細には、粘弾性シールド層90は、隣接する空間のそれぞれの内壁面と仕切板12の先端面とに連続して配置されている。
(2-5. Electromagnetic wave shielding function on the tip surface of the partition plate 12)
As shown in FIG. 5, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is also arranged on the tip surface of the partition plate 12. That is, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged on each inner wall surface (side wall surface of the partition plate 12) forming an adjacent space and the tip surface of the partition plate 12 located at the boundary portion with each inner wall surface. ing. More specifically, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is continuously arranged on the inner wall surface of each of the adjacent spaces and the tip surface of the partition plate 12.
 例えば、粘弾性シールド層90は、第一空間A1を形成する内壁面、当該内壁面の境界である仕切板12の先端面、および、第二空間A2を形成する内壁面に連続して配置されている。第一空間A1と第三空間A3、第一空間A1と第四空間A4、第二空間A2と第三空間A3、第二空間A2と第四空間A4、第三空間A3と第四空間A4の各境界部分についても同様である。 For example, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is continuously arranged on the inner wall surface forming the first space A1, the tip surface of the partition plate 12 which is the boundary of the inner wall surface, and the inner wall surface forming the second space A2. ing. First space A1 and third space A3, first space A1 and fourth space A4, second space A2 and third space A3, second space A2 and fourth space A4, third space A3 and fourth space A4 The same applies to each boundary portion.
 そして、仕切板12の先端面に配置された粘弾性シールド層90は、電子回路基板30を支持する。従って、電子回路基板30が、樹脂ケース10に対する相対的位置が変化したとしても、粘弾性シールド層90は、追従することができる。そのため、電子回路基板30と仕切板12との間において、粘弾性シールド層90が確実に所望の電磁波シールド機能を発揮することができる。また、電子回路基板30の中央部分が、粘弾性シールド層90を介して仕切板12に支持されることにより、電子回路基板30を安定した姿勢とすることができる。 The viscoelastic shield layer 90 arranged on the tip surface of the partition plate 12 supports the electronic circuit board 30. Therefore, even if the position of the electronic circuit board 30 with respect to the resin case 10 changes, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can follow it. Therefore, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can surely exert a desired electromagnetic wave shielding function between the electronic circuit board 30 and the partition plate 12. Further, the central portion of the electronic circuit board 30 is supported by the partition plate 12 via the viscoelastic shield layer 90, so that the electronic circuit board 30 can be in a stable posture.
 (2-6.箱型電子ユニット1の製造方法)
 箱型電子ユニット1の製造方法について、図5-図10を参照して説明する。図6に示すように、第一型内(図示せず)に、インサートとしての電磁波シールド部材50を配置する(ステップS1)。第一型内に、樹脂材料を供給することにより、樹脂ケース10を成形する(ステップS2)。これにより、図7に示す製造物1aが生成される。このとき、電磁波シールド部材50は、樹脂ケース10のケース本体11の底面11aに嵌め込まれている。従って、電磁波シールド部材50は、樹脂ケース10に固定される。
(2-6. Manufacturing method of box-type electronic unit 1)
A method for manufacturing the box-type electronic unit 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10. As shown in FIG. 6, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 as an insert is arranged in the first mold (not shown) (step S1). The resin case 10 is molded by supplying the resin material into the first mold (step S2). As a result, the product 1a shown in FIG. 7 is produced. At this time, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is fitted into the bottom surface 11a of the case body 11 of the resin case 10. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave shield member 50 is fixed to the resin case 10.
 続いて、電磁波シールド部材60の金属層62を、樹脂ケース10の第一空間A1の底面11aに接着する(ステップS3)。なお、金属層62は、電磁波シールド部材50と共に、ステップS2においてインサート成形することも可能である。また、予め金属層62と樹脂吸収層61とを一体にしたものを、第一空間A1の底面11aに接着してもよいし、当該一体にしたものをステップS2においてインサート成形してもよい。続いて、第二型内(図示せず)に、インサートとしてのコネクタ40を配置する(ステップS4)。このときの第二型内における対象物1bは、図8に示すようになる。 Subsequently, the metal layer 62 of the electromagnetic wave shielding member 60 is adhered to the bottom surface 11a of the first space A1 of the resin case 10 (step S3). The metal layer 62 can also be insert-molded in step S2 together with the electromagnetic wave shielding member 50. Further, the metal layer 62 and the resin absorbing layer 61 may be integrally bonded to the bottom surface 11a of the first space A1 in advance, or the integrated product may be insert-molded in step S2. Subsequently, the connector 40 as an insert is arranged in the second mold (not shown) (step S4). The object 1b in the second type at this time is as shown in FIG.
 続いて、第二型内に、粘弾性材料を供給することにより、粘弾性接合部材70、粘弾性シール部材80、粘弾性シールド層90を成形する(ステップS5)。これにより、図9に示す製造物1cが生成される。ここで、粘弾性接合部材70と粘弾性シール部材80とは、同一材料により成形し、粘弾性シールド層90は、粘弾性接合部材70等とは異なる材料により成形する。従って、ここでは2色成形が行われる。 Subsequently, the viscoelastic joining member 70, the viscoelastic sealing member 80, and the viscoelastic shield layer 90 are formed by supplying the viscoelastic material into the second mold (step S5). As a result, the product 1c shown in FIG. 9 is produced. Here, the viscoelastic joining member 70 and the viscoelastic sealing member 80 are formed of the same material, and the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is formed of a material different from that of the viscoelastic joining member 70 and the like. Therefore, two-color molding is performed here.
 続いて、電磁波シールド部材60の残り部材である樹脂吸収層61を配置する(ステップS6)。続いて、電子回路基板30を取付ける(ステップS7)。これにより、図10に示す製造物1dが生成される。続いて、蓋20を取付けることで、図5に示す箱型電子ユニット1が完成する(ステップS8)。 Subsequently, the resin absorbing layer 61, which is the remaining member of the electromagnetic wave shielding member 60, is arranged (step S6). Subsequently, the electronic circuit board 30 is attached (step S7). As a result, the product 1d shown in FIG. 10 is produced. Subsequently, by attaching the lid 20, the box-shaped electronic unit 1 shown in FIG. 5 is completed (step S8).
 上記製造方法によれば、ステップS5において、粘弾性接合部材70、粘弾性シール部材80、粘弾性シールド層90を1工程にて成形することができる。従って、製造コストが安価となる。 According to the above manufacturing method, in step S5, the viscoelastic joining member 70, the viscoelastic sealing member 80, and the viscoelastic shield layer 90 can be molded in one step. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is low.
 (2-7.第一の箱型電子ユニット1の変形例)
 上記においては、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10の内壁面に配置する例をあげた。この他に、粘弾性シールド層90は、樹脂ケース10の外壁面に配置するようにしてもよい。この場合、粘弾性シールド層90が、外部に露出することになる。
(2-7. Modification example of the first box-type electronic unit 1)
In the above, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the resin case 10. In addition to this, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 may be arranged on the outer wall surface of the resin case 10. In this case, the viscoelastic shield layer 90 is exposed to the outside.

(3. Box-type electronic unit 2 of the second example)
(3-1. Appearance of box-type electronic unit 2)
The appearance of the box-type electronic unit 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the box-shaped electronic unit 2 has a flat outer shape formed by the case 110 and the lid 120. In this example, the outer shape of the box-shaped electronic unit 2 is shown as a rectangular flat shape, but it can be a flat shape having an arbitrary shape. An electronic circuit board 130 (shown in FIG. 13) is housed inside the case 110 and the lid 120.
 箱型電子ユニット2は、さらに、ケース110と蓋120とにより形成される扁平状の外形の側面(周面)に、外部コネクタに接続されるコネクタ140を備える。コネクタ140は、矩形状の接続孔を有する。コネクタ140の端子は、電子回路基板130(図13に示す)に電気的に接続されている。ここで、本例では、箱型電子ユニット2は、1つのコネクタ140を備える場合を例に挙げるが、複数のコネクタ140を備えることもできる。 The box-type electronic unit 2 further includes a connector 140 connected to an external connector on the side surface (peripheral surface) of the flat outer shape formed by the case 110 and the lid 120. The connector 140 has a rectangular connection hole. The terminals of the connector 140 are electrically connected to the electronic circuit board 130 (shown in FIG. 13). Here, in this example, the case where the box-type electronic unit 2 includes one connector 140 is given as an example, but a plurality of connectors 140 may also be provided.

 箱型電子ユニット2の各要素の構成について、図13-図16を参照して説明する。図13に示すように、箱型電子ユニット2は、電子回路基板130と、コネクタ一体ケース150と、蓋120とを備える。電子回路基板130は、電子回路が形成され基板であって、複数の電子部品を備えている。図13においては、基板の裏面に、複数の電子部品が配置されている。ここで、電子回路は、例えば、発熱部品を含んでいたり、外部ノイズの影響を受け得る構成を有したりする。
(3-2. Configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 2)
The configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. As shown in FIG. 13, the box-type electronic unit 2 includes an electronic circuit board 130, a connector integrated case 150, and a lid 120. The electronic circuit board 130 is a board on which an electronic circuit is formed, and includes a plurality of electronic components. In FIG. 13, a plurality of electronic components are arranged on the back surface of the substrate. Here, the electronic circuit may include, for example, a heat-generating component, or may have a configuration that can be affected by external noise.
 コネクタ一体ケース150は、ケース110とコネクタ140が一体に形成された部材である。コネクタ一体ケース150は、別体に形成されたケース110とコネクタ140とを、一体的に接合することにより形成されている。なお、箱型電子ユニット2は、複数のコネクタ140を有することもできる。この場合、コネクタ一体ケース150は、ケース110と複数のコネクタ140が一体に形成された部材となる。コネクタ一体ケース150は、さらに、ケース110と蓋120との間に介在する第一介在部材151、ケース110とコネクタ140との間に介在する第二介在部材152、コネクタ140と蓋120との間に介在する第一補助介在部材153を備える。 The connector integrated case 150 is a member in which the case 110 and the connector 140 are integrally formed. The connector integrated case 150 is formed by integrally joining the separately formed case 110 and the connector 140. The box-type electronic unit 2 may also have a plurality of connectors 140. In this case, the connector-integrated case 150 is a member in which the case 110 and a plurality of connectors 140 are integrally formed. The connector-integrated case 150 further includes a first intervening member 151 interposed between the case 110 and the lid 120, a second intervening member 152 interposed between the case 110 and the connector 140, and between the connector 140 and the lid 120. A first auxiliary intervening member 153 is provided.
 コネクタ一体ケース150について、図14-図16を参照して詳細に説明する。コネクタ一体ケース150を構成するケース110は、図14および図15に示すように、扁平状に形成されており、電子回路基板130を収容する。ケース110は、金属または樹脂により形成されている。ケース110は、金属として、例えば、アルミニウム、鉄、ステンレス、マグネシウムなどにより形成される。また、ケース110は、樹脂として、例えば、汎用プラスチック、エンプラ、スーパーエンプラなどにより形成される。ケース110は、樹脂の詳細な種類として、例えば、ABS、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンサルファイドなどにより形成される。ケース110は、放熱機能および電磁波シールド機能の少なくとも一方を有するようにするためには、金属により形成されるとよい。また、ケース110は、放熱機能および電磁波シールド機能を有する必要がない場合には、樹脂を採用することにより、軽量化を図ることができる。ただし、ケース110が樹脂により形成されている場合において、第一例の箱型電子ユニット1の構成を採用することにより、電磁波シールド機能を有するようにできる。また、第一例の箱型電子ユニット1を構成するヒートシンクを採用することにより、放熱機能を有するようにできる。 The connector integrated case 150 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the case 110 constituting the connector integrated case 150 is formed in a flat shape and accommodates the electronic circuit board 130. The case 110 is made of metal or resin. The case 110 is made of, for example, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, magnesium, or the like as a metal. Further, the case 110 is formed of resin, for example, general-purpose plastic, engineering plastic, super engineering plastic, or the like. The case 110 is formed of, for example, ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, or the like as a detailed type of resin. The case 110 may be made of metal in order to have at least one of a heat dissipation function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function. Further, when it is not necessary for the case 110 to have a heat dissipation function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function, the weight can be reduced by adopting a resin. However, when the case 110 is made of resin, it can have an electromagnetic wave shielding function by adopting the configuration of the box-shaped electronic unit 1 of the first example. Further, by adopting the heat sink constituting the box-type electronic unit 1 of the first example, it is possible to have a heat dissipation function.
 ケース110は、図14に示すように、有底容器状に形成されている。ケース110は、底面111と、周壁112とを備える。底面111は、平面状に形成されており、例えば矩形に形成されている。底面111は、電子回路基板130の外形に対応する形状に形成されている。底面111の外面は、図15に示すように、放熱性を良好とするために、凹凸状に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 14, the case 110 is formed in the shape of a bottomed container. The case 110 includes a bottom surface 111 and a peripheral wall 112. The bottom surface 111 is formed in a plane shape, for example, in a rectangular shape. The bottom surface 111 is formed in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the electronic circuit board 130. As shown in FIG. 15, the outer surface of the bottom surface 111 is formed in an uneven shape in order to improve heat dissipation.
 周壁112は、図14に示すように、底面111の周縁を囲むように形成されている。ただし、周壁112は、底面111の周縁全周を囲むのではなく、底面111の周縁のうち一部分に配置されていない。つまり、周壁112は、底面111の法線方向から見た場合に、C字状に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 14, the peripheral wall 112 is formed so as to surround the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 111. However, the peripheral wall 112 does not surround the entire peripheral edge of the bottom surface 111, and is not arranged on a part of the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 111. That is, the peripheral wall 112 is formed in a C shape when viewed from the normal direction of the bottom surface 111.
 周壁112は、周壁112の軸方向のうち底面111とは反対側の端に、底面111の法線方向に開口する蓋用開口部112aを有する。蓋用開口部112aは、例えば、電子回路基板130の外形に対応する矩形状を有する。周壁112は、蓋用開口部112aの周縁を形成する周面に、第一接着面112a1を有する。ここで、第一接着面112a1は、周壁112の外周面に形成する場合を例にあげるが、周壁112の内周面に形成することもできる。そして、第一接着面112a1は、周壁112の軸方向に平行な面を有している。詳細は後述するが、第一接着面112a1は、第一介在部材151との接着面を構成する。 The peripheral wall 112 has a lid opening 112a that opens in the normal direction of the bottom surface 111 at an end of the peripheral wall 112 that is opposite to the bottom surface 111. The lid opening 112a has, for example, a rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the electronic circuit board 130. The peripheral wall 112 has a first adhesive surface 112a1 on the peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 112a. Here, the case where the first adhesive surface 112a1 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 112 is given as an example, but it can also be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 112. The first adhesive surface 112a1 has a surface parallel to the axial direction of the peripheral wall 112. Although the details will be described later, the first adhesive surface 112a1 constitutes an adhesive surface with the first intervening member 151.
 周壁112は、底面111の面方向に開口するコネクタ用開口部112bを有する。コネクタ用開口部112bは、周壁112における周方向の開口部分に対応する。本例では、例えば、コネクタ用開口部112bは、底面111の矩形状を構成する4辺のうち、1つの辺の部分に形成されている。より詳細には、コネクタ用開口部112bは、1辺の中央部に形成されている。なお、コネクタ用開口部112bは、1辺の端寄りに形成されるようにしてもよいし、底面111の矩形状の角部に形成されるようにしてもよい。また、コネクタ用開口部112bは、蓋用開口部112aに連続的につながって形成されている。つまり、周壁112は、コネクタ用開口部112bの周縁を形成部位として、U字状内面である第二接着面112b1を有する。 The peripheral wall 112 has a connector opening 112b that opens in the surface direction of the bottom surface 111. The connector opening 112b corresponds to the circumferential opening in the peripheral wall 112. In this example, for example, the connector opening 112b is formed on one side of the four sides forming the rectangular shape of the bottom surface 111. More specifically, the connector opening 112b is formed at the center of one side. The connector opening 112b may be formed near the end of one side, or may be formed at a rectangular corner of the bottom surface 111. Further, the connector opening 112b is formed by being continuously connected to the lid opening 112a. That is, the peripheral wall 112 has a second adhesive surface 112b1 which is a U-shaped inner surface with the peripheral edge of the connector opening 112b as a forming portion.
 ケース110は、さらに、蓋120と締結するための締結部材(図示せず)を取り付けるための取付座113を有する。ケース110は、例えば、矩形の4隅に取付座113を有する。取付座113は、締結部材を挿通するための孔が形成されている。 The case 110 further has a mounting seat 113 for mounting a fastening member (not shown) for fastening to the lid 120. The case 110 has mounting seats 113 at four corners of a rectangle, for example. The mounting seat 113 is formed with a hole for inserting the fastening member.
 コネクタ一体ケース150を構成するコネクタ140は、図14および図15に示すように、ケース110と別体に形成されている。コネクタ140は、ケース110のコネクタ用開口部112bに固定される。さらに、コネクタ140は、電子回路基板(図13に示す)と外部とを電気的に接続する。 As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the connector 140 constituting the connector integrated case 150 is formed separately from the case 110. The connector 140 is fixed to the connector opening 112b of the case 110. Further, the connector 140 electrically connects the electronic circuit board (shown in FIG. 13) to the outside.
 ここで、コネクタ140は、相手装着部141と、接着部142と、複数の端子143とを備える。相手装着部141と接着部142とにより構成される本体(141,142)は、例えば、樹脂により形成されている。そして、相手装着部141と接着部142とは、一体に形成されている。コネクタ140の本体(141,142)は、当該樹脂としては、例えば、汎用プラスチック、エンプラ、スーパーエンプラなどにより形成される。ケース110は、樹脂の詳細な種類として、例えば、ABS、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンサルファイドなどにより形成される。 Here, the connector 140 includes a mating portion 141, an adhesive portion 142, and a plurality of terminals 143. The main body (141, 142) composed of the mating portion 141 and the adhesive portion 142 is formed of, for example, resin. The mating portion 141 and the adhesive portion 142 are integrally formed. The main body (141, 142) of the connector 140 is formed of, for example, general-purpose plastic, engineering plastic, super engineering plastic, or the like as the resin. The case 110 is formed of, for example, ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, or the like as a detailed type of resin.
 相手装着部141は、ケース110の外面より外側に露出して、突出する部分を構成する。相手装着部141は、外部の相手部材のコネクタ(図示せず)と装着される部分である。相手装着部141は、筒状に形成されており、例えば矩形筒状に形成されている。 The mating portion 141 is exposed to the outside from the outer surface of the case 110 and constitutes a protruding portion. The mating portion 141 is a portion to be mounted with a connector (not shown) of an external mating member. The mating portion 141 is formed in a tubular shape, for example, in a rectangular tubular shape.
 接着部142は、相手装着部141の端側に位置し、相手装着部141の筒状の中心軸線を中心とする外周面142aを有する。接着部142の外周面142aは、例えば矩形状を有しており、矩形状の3辺が、コネクタ用開口部112bのU字状の第二接着面112b1に対向する。 The adhesive portion 142 is located on the end side of the mating mounting portion 141, and has an outer peripheral surface 142a centered on the tubular central axis of the mating mounting portion 141. The outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 has, for example, a rectangular shape, and the three rectangular sides face the U-shaped second adhesive surface 112b1 of the connector opening 112b.
 接着部142は、さらに、外周面142aの1つの辺から外側に突出する座面142bを有する。接着部142の座面142bは、コネクタ140がコネクタ用開口部112bに配置された状態において、周壁112の第一接着面112a1と連続的な面を構成する。つまり、周壁112の第一接着面112a1と接着部142の座面142bとにより、周方向に連続した筒状面が形成される。本例では、第一接着面112a1と座面142bとにより、外筒面が形成される。 The adhesive portion 142 further has a seat surface 142b protruding outward from one side of the outer peripheral surface 142a. The seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 constitutes a surface continuous with the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the peripheral wall 112 in a state where the connector 140 is arranged in the connector opening 112b. That is, the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the peripheral wall 112 and the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 form a tubular surface continuous in the circumferential direction. In this example, the outer cylinder surface is formed by the first adhesive surface 112a1 and the seat surface 142b.
 複数の端子143は、金属によりL字状に形成されており、L字状の一端が接着部142側の端面から相手装着部141側に向かって差し込まれている。複数の端子143のL字状の他端は、接着部142から露出しており、コネクタ140がコネクタ用開口部112bに配置された状態において、底面111とは反対側、すなわち蓋用開口部112a側に延びる。 The plurality of terminals 143 are formed in an L shape by metal, and one end of the L shape is inserted from the end face on the adhesive portion 142 side toward the mating portion 141 side. The other end of the L-shape of the plurality of terminals 143 is exposed from the adhesive portion 142, and when the connector 140 is arranged in the connector opening 112b, the side opposite to the bottom surface 111, that is, the lid opening 112a Extend to the side.
 コネクタ一体ケース150を構成する第一介在部材151は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第一介在部材151は、ケース110の周壁112と蓋120との間に介在する。第一介在部材151は、図13および図16に示すように、ケース110の周壁112において、蓋用開口部112aの周縁を形成する周面である第一接着面112a1に接着されている。つまり、第一介在部材151は、ケース110の底面111の法線方向から見た場合に、C字状に形成されている。なお、本例では、第一接着面112a1は、外周面を構成するため、第一介在部材151は、第一接着面112a1の外周側に周状に形成されている。 The first intervening member 151 constituting the connector integrated case 150 is made of a polymer viscoelastic material. The first intervening member 151 is interposed between the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110 and the lid 120. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 16, the first intervening member 151 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 112a1 which is a peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 112a on the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110. That is, the first intervening member 151 is formed in a C shape when viewed from the normal direction of the bottom surface 111 of the case 110. In this example, since the first adhesive surface 112a1 constitutes the outer peripheral surface, the first intervening member 151 is formed in a circumferential shape on the outer peripheral side of the first adhesive surface 112a1.
 さらに、第一介在部材151は、第一接着面112a1とは反対側の面、本例では外周面に、周方向に延びる複数のリップ151aを有する。リップ151aが、蓋120に対して非接着状態で接触する部分である。そして、リップ151aが、蓋120との間でシール機能を発揮し、蓋120の保持力を発揮する。つまり、リップ151aは、蓋120に対して非接着状態であり且つシールした状態で蓋120を保持する部分として機能する。 Further, the first intervening member 151 has a plurality of lips 151a extending in the circumferential direction on the surface opposite to the first adhesive surface 112a1, in this example, the outer peripheral surface. The portion where the lip 151a comes into contact with the lid 120 in a non-adhesive state. Then, the lip 151a exerts a sealing function with the lid 120 and exerts a holding force of the lid 120. That is, the lip 151a functions as a portion that holds the lid 120 in a non-adhesive state and a sealed state with respect to the lid 120.
 ここで、第一接着面112a1が周壁112の内周面に形成されている場合には、第一介在部材151は、内周面に複数のリップ151aを有することになる。また、第一介在部材151は、高分子粘弾性材料として、例えば、シリコーンゴム、エチレンプロピレンゴムなどにより形成される。特に、第一介在部材151は、シリコーンゴムにより形成することにより、蓋120の保持力、シール機能、および、耐久性を良好に発揮することができる。 Here, when the first adhesive surface 112a1 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 112, the first intervening member 151 will have a plurality of lips 151a on the inner peripheral surface. Further, the first interposition member 151 is formed of, for example, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, or the like as a polymer viscoelastic material. In particular, by forming the first intervening member 151 with silicone rubber, the holding power, the sealing function, and the durability of the lid 120 can be satisfactorily exhibited.
 コネクタ一体ケース150を構成する第二介在部材152は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第二介在部材152は、ケース110の周壁112とコネクタ140との間に介在する。第二介在部材152は、図13および図16に示すように、ケース110のコネクタ用開口部112bの周縁とコネクタ140の接着部142との対向面のそれぞれに接着されている。そして、第二介在部材152は、コネクタ用開口部112bの周縁とコネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aとの間をシールする。 The second intervening member 152 constituting the connector integrated case 150 is made of a polymer viscoelastic material. The second intervening member 152 is interposed between the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110 and the connector 140. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 16, the second intervening member 152 is adhered to each of the peripheral edge of the connector opening 112b of the case 110 and the facing surface of the connector 140 with the adhesive portion 142. Then, the second intervening member 152 seals between the peripheral edge of the connector opening 112b and the outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140.
 詳細には、第二介在部材152は、ケース110の周壁112におけるU字状内面である第二接着面112b1に接着される。さらに、第二介在部材152は、コネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aのうち、第二接着面112b1に対向するU字状外面に接着される。従って、第二介在部材152は、コネクタ140の外周面のうち、蓋用開口部112aの側を除く、両側面および底面111の側を連続するU字状に形成されている。さらに、第二介在部材152は、第一介在部材151に連続的に形成される。つまり、第二介在部材152のU字状の両端が、第一介在部材151のC字状の両端と連続的に形成される。 Specifically, the second intervening member 152 is adhered to the second adhesive surface 112b1, which is the U-shaped inner surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110. Further, the second intervening member 152 is bonded to the U-shaped outer surface of the outer peripheral surface 142a of the bonding portion 142 of the connector 140 facing the second bonding surface 112b1. Therefore, the second intervening member 152 is formed in a U-shape on both side surfaces and the bottom surface 111 side of the outer peripheral surface of the connector 140, excluding the side of the lid opening 112a. Further, the second intervening member 152 is continuously formed on the first intervening member 151. That is, both ends of the U-shape of the second intervening member 152 are continuously formed with both ends of the C-shape of the first intervening member 151.
 第二介在部材152は、第一介在部材151と同一の高分子粘弾性材料により形成されるようにしてもよいし、異なる高分子粘弾性材料により形成されるようにしてもよい。第二介在部材152は、高分子粘弾性材料として、例えば、シリコーンゴム、エチレンプロピレンゴムなどにより形成される。特に、第二介在部材152は、シリコーンゴムにより形成することにより、シール機能、および、耐久性を良好に発揮することができる。 The second intervening member 152 may be formed of the same polymer viscoelastic material as the first intervening member 151, or may be formed of a different polymer viscoelastic material. The second interposition member 152 is formed of, for example, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, or the like as a polymer viscoelastic material. In particular, by forming the second intervening member 152 with silicone rubber, it is possible to satisfactorily exhibit the sealing function and durability.
 第二介在部材152が第一介在部材151と同一の材料により形成することで、製造が容易となり、結果として低コスト化を図ることができる。また、第二介在部材152が第一介在部材151と異なる材料により形成する場合には、第二介在部材152は高い接着機能を有する材料とし、第一介在部材151はリップ151aによる高いシール機能を有する材料とすることができる。このように、機能に応じた材料を選択することができる。 By forming the second intervening member 152 from the same material as the first intervening member 151, manufacturing becomes easy, and as a result, cost reduction can be achieved. When the second intervening member 152 is formed of a material different from that of the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152 is made of a material having a high adhesive function, and the first intervening member 151 has a high sealing function by the lip 151a. It can be a material to have. In this way, the material according to the function can be selected.
 コネクタ一体ケース150を構成する第一補助介在部材153は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第一補助介在部材153は、蓋用開口部112aとコネクタ用開口部112bとの接続部位に形成されている。当該接続部位には、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bが位置する。そこで、第一補助介在部材153は、コネクタ用開口部112bに配置された状態のコネクタ140の外面の一部である、接着部142の座面142bに接着される。さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151に連続的に形成される。第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151のC字状の切断領域を補う部位となる。つまり、第一介在部材151と第一補助介在部材153とにより、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。 The first auxiliary intervening member 153 constituting the connector integrated case 150 is made of a polymer viscoelastic material. The first auxiliary intervening member 153 is formed at a connection portion between the lid opening 112a and the connector opening 112b. The seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140 is located at the connection portion. Therefore, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is adhered to the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142, which is a part of the outer surface of the connector 140 in the state of being arranged in the connector opening 112b. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is continuously formed on the first intervening member 151. The first auxiliary intervening member 153 serves as a portion that supplements the C-shaped cutting region of the first intervening member 151. That is, the first intervening member 151 and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 form a continuous tubular shape in the circumferential direction.
 このように、第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151と連続的に形成されている。さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、第二介在部材152とも連続的に形成されるようにしてもよい。つまり、第二介在部材152は、第一介在部材151と第一補助介在部材153の少なくとも一方に連続的に形成されている。 As described above, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is continuously formed with the first intervening member 151. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 may be formed continuously with the second intervening member 152. That is, the second intervening member 152 is continuously formed on at least one of the first intervening member 151 and the first auxiliary intervening member 153.
 さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、接着部142の座面142bとは反対側の面、本例では外面に複数のリップ153aを有する。リップ153aは、第一介在部材151のリップ151aと連続的に形成されている。リップ153aは、リップ151aと同様に、蓋120に対して非接着状態で接触する部分である。そして、リップ153aは、蓋120との間でシール機能を発揮し、蓋120の保持力を発揮し得る。つまり、リップ153aは、蓋120に対して非接着状態であり且つシールした状態で蓋120を保持する部分として機能する。 Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 has a plurality of lips 153a on the surface of the adhesive portion 142 opposite to the seat surface 142b, in this example, the outer surface. The lip 153a is continuously formed with the lip 151a of the first intervening member 151. Like the lip 151a, the lip 153a is a portion that comes into contact with the lid 120 in a non-adhesive state. Then, the lip 153a can exert a sealing function with the lid 120 and exert a holding force of the lid 120. That is, the lip 153a functions as a portion that holds the lid 120 in a non-adhesive state and a sealed state with respect to the lid 120.
 第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151と同様の機能を有する部材である。そこで、第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151と同一の高分子粘弾性材料により形成されるとよい。すなわち、第一補助介在部材153は、高分子粘弾性材料として、例えば、シリコーンゴム、エチレンプロピレンゴムなどにより形成される。 The first auxiliary intervening member 153 is a member having the same function as the first intervening member 151. Therefore, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 may be formed of the same polymer viscoelastic material as the first intervening member 151. That is, the first auxiliary interposition member 153 is formed of, for example, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, or the like as the polymer viscoelastic material.
 蓋120は、図13に示すように、ケース110の蓋用開口部112aを閉塞する。蓋120は、ケース110と同様に、金属または樹脂により形成されている。蓋120は、金属として、例えば、アルミニウム、鉄、ステンレス、マグネシウムなどにより形成される。また、蓋120は、樹脂として、例えば、汎用プラスチック、エンプラ、スーパーエンプラなどにより形成される。蓋120は、樹脂の詳細な種類として、例えば、ABS、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンサルファイドなどにより形成される。蓋120は、放熱機能および電磁波シールド機能の少なくとも一方を有するようにするためには、金属により形成されるとよい。また、蓋120は、放熱機能および電磁波シールド機能を有する必要がない場合には、樹脂を採用することにより、軽量化を図ることができる。 As shown in FIG. 13, the lid 120 closes the lid opening 112a of the case 110. The lid 120, like the case 110, is made of metal or resin. The lid 120 is made of metal such as aluminum, iron, stainless steel, magnesium and the like. Further, the lid 120 is formed of resin, for example, general-purpose plastic, engineering plastic, super engineering plastic, or the like. The lid 120 is formed of, for example, ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, or the like as a detailed type of resin. The lid 120 may be made of metal in order to have at least one of a heat dissipation function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function. Further, when it is not necessary for the lid 120 to have a heat dissipation function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function, the weight can be reduced by adopting a resin.
 蓋120は、ケース110に対応する有底容器状に形成されている。詳細には、蓋120は、底面121と、周壁122と、取付座123とを備える。底面121は、平板状に形成されている。底面121の外形は、ケース110の底面111の外形と同様に形成されている。つまり、底面121の外形は、例えば、矩形状に形成されている。周壁122は、底面121の周縁を全周に亘って囲むように形成されている。周壁122の内周面は、第一介在部材151のリップ151aおよび第一補助介在部材153のリップ153aに非接着状態で接触する部位である。 The lid 120 is formed in the shape of a bottomed container corresponding to the case 110. Specifically, the lid 120 includes a bottom surface 121, a peripheral wall 122, and a mounting seat 123. The bottom surface 121 is formed in a flat plate shape. The outer shape of the bottom surface 121 is formed in the same manner as the outer shape of the bottom surface 111 of the case 110. That is, the outer shape of the bottom surface 121 is formed in a rectangular shape, for example. The peripheral wall 122 is formed so as to surround the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 121 over the entire circumference. The inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 is a portion that comes into contact with the lip 151a of the first intervening member 151 and the lip 153a of the first auxiliary intervening member 153 in a non-adhesive state.
 つまり、第一介在部材151が、ケース110の周壁112の第一接着面112a1と蓋120の周壁122の内周面との間に挟まれた状態でシールする。さらに、第一補助介在部材153が、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bと蓋120の周壁122の内周面との間に挟まれた状態でシールする。 That is, the first intervening member 151 is sealed while being sandwiched between the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is sealed while being sandwiched between the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120.
 取付座123は、蓋120の周壁122の矩形の4隅に設けられている。取付座123は、ケース110の取付座113に対応する位置に位置しており、締結部材により締結するための孔が形成されている。 The mounting seat 123 is provided at four rectangular corners of the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120. The mounting seat 123 is located at a position corresponding to the mounting seat 113 of the case 110, and a hole for fastening is formed by a fastening member.
 (3-3.箱型電子ユニット2の製造方法)
 箱型電子ユニット2の製造方法について、図17および図18を参照して説明する。図17および図18に示すように、ケース110およびコネクタ140を、成形型160内に配置する(ステップS11)。成形型160は、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153を成形するための型である。成形型160は、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を供給するための1つ以上の供給口161を有している。つまり、成形型160は、1つの供給口161を有するようにしてもよいし、複数の供給口161を有するようにしてもよい。
(3-3. Manufacturing method of box-type electronic unit 2)
A method of manufacturing the box-type electronic unit 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the case 110 and the connector 140 are arranged in the mold 160 (step S11). The molding die 160 is a mold for molding the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153. The mold 160 has one or more supply ports 161 for supplying a fluid material of a polymer viscoelastic material. That is, the molding die 160 may have one supply port 161 or may have a plurality of supply ports 161.
 続いて、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を、成形型160の供給口161から供給する。そして、流動性素材を、第一介在部材151の領域、第二介在部材152の領域および第一補助介在部材153の領域との間で流動させる。例えば、供給口161は、第一介在部材151の領域に連通している。この場合、流動性素材は、第一介在部材151の領域から第二介在部材152の領域へ流動し、且つ、第一介在部材151の領域から第一補助介在部材153の領域へ流動する。このようにして、流動性素材は、第一介在部材151の領域、第二介在部材152の領域および第一補助介在部材153の領域に充填される(ステップS12)。なお、成形型160の供給口161は、第二介在部材152の領域に連通するようにしてもよいし、第一補助介在部材153の領域に連通するようにしてもよい。 Subsequently, the fluid material of the polymer viscoelastic material is supplied from the supply port 161 of the molding die 160. Then, the fluid material is made to flow between the region of the first intervening member 151, the region of the second interposing member 152, and the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153. For example, the supply port 161 communicates with the region of the first intervening member 151. In this case, the fluid material flows from the region of the first intervening member 151 to the region of the second intervening member 152, and flows from the region of the first intervening member 151 to the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153. In this way, the fluid material is filled in the region of the first intervening member 151, the region of the second interposing member 152, and the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153 (step S12). The supply port 161 of the molding die 160 may communicate with the region of the second intervening member 152, or may communicate with the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153.
 続いて、成形型160内において、流動性素材を加熱して、さらに流動性素材を固化させることにより、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153が形成される(ステップS13)。このとき、流動性素材の加熱によって、第一介在部材151は、ケース110の第一接着面112a1に接着される。また、第二介在部材152は、ケース110の第二接着面112b1に接着されると共に、コネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aに接着される。さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bに接着される。このようにして、コネクタ一体ケース150が完成する。 Subsequently, in the molding die 160, the fluid material is heated to further solidify the fluid material, whereby the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 are formed ( Step S13). At this time, the first intervening member 151 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the case 110 by heating the fluid material. Further, the second intervening member 152 is adhered to the second adhesive surface 112b1 of the case 110 and also to the outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is adhered to the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. In this way, the connector integrated case 150 is completed.
 続いて、コネクタ一体ケース150に、電子回路基板130を取り付ける(ステップS14)。続いて、コネクタ一体ケース150に、蓋120を装着する(ステップS15)。詳細には、蓋120の周壁122を、ケース110の周壁112の第一接着面112a1の外側、且つ、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bの外側に、嵌め込む。このとき、第一介在部材151が、ケース110の第一接着面112a1と蓋120の周壁122との間に圧縮された状態となり、シールすると共に、蓋120を保持する。さらに、第一補助介在部材153が、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bと蓋120の周壁122との間に圧縮された状態となり、シールすると共に、蓋120の保持力を発揮する。 Subsequently, the electronic circuit board 130 is attached to the connector integrated case 150 (step S14). Subsequently, the lid 120 is attached to the connector integrated case 150 (step S15). Specifically, the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120 is fitted to the outside of the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the peripheral wall 112 of the case 110 and to the outside of the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. At this time, the first intervening member 151 is in a compressed state between the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the case 110 and the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120, and seals and holds the lid 120. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is in a compressed state between the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140 and the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120, and seals the lid 120 while exerting the holding force of the lid 120.
 (3-4.効果)
 第二例の箱型電子ユニット2によれば、ケース110、蓋120、コネクタ140の各要素を別体に形成することにより、低コスト化を図ることができる。特に、コネクタ140を他要素と別体に形成することにより、コネクタ140の本体141,142に端子143を装着することが容易となる。
(3-4. Effect)
According to the box-type electronic unit 2 of the second example, the cost can be reduced by forming each element of the case 110, the lid 120, and the connector 140 separately. In particular, by forming the connector 140 separately from other elements, it becomes easy to attach the terminal 143 to the main bodies 141 and 142 of the connector 140.
 さらに、ケース110とコネクタ140との間に介在する第二介在部材152は、両者に接着しているのに対して、ケース110と蓋120との間に介在する第一介在部材151は、一方である蓋120には接着していない。第一介在部材151は、ケース110に接着されるが、蓋120には接着されておらず、蓋120に対して非接着状態で保持する。つまり、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153は、ケース110およびコネクタ140の2要素に接着されており、蓋120を接着対象としていない。 Further, the second intervening member 152 interposed between the case 110 and the connector 140 is adhered to both, while the first intervening member 151 interposed between the case 110 and the lid 120 is one. It is not adhered to the lid 120. The first intervening member 151 is adhered to the case 110, but is not adhered to the lid 120, and is held in a non-adhesive state with respect to the lid 120. That is, the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 are adhered to the two elements of the case 110 and the connector 140, and the lid 120 is not the object of adhesion.
 仮に、第一介在部材151がケース110とコネクタ140とを接着すると共に、第二介在部材152がケース110と蓋120とを接着する場合には、接着対象が、ケース110、コネクタ140および蓋120の3要素となる。この場合、第一介在部材151の形成と、第二介在部材152の形成とを、別々のタイミングで行う必要がある。つまり、介在部材151,152の形成を複数回行う必要がある。これに対して、本例においては、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153により接着する対象が、ケース110とコネクタ140の2要素のみとなる。従って、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152、第一補助介在部材153を同時に形成することができる。接着機能を有する介在部材151,152,153の形成回数を低減することができる。 If the first intervening member 151 adheres the case 110 and the connector 140 and the second intervening member 152 adheres the case 110 and the lid 120, the objects to be bonded are the case 110, the connector 140, and the lid 120. It becomes three elements of. In this case, it is necessary to form the first intervening member 151 and the second intervening member 152 at different timings. That is, it is necessary to form the intervening members 151 and 152 a plurality of times. On the other hand, in this example, only two elements, the case 110 and the connector 140, are bonded by the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153. Therefore, the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 can be formed at the same time. It is possible to reduce the number of times the intervening members 151, 152, 153 having an adhesive function are formed.
 特に、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を用いることで、流動性素材を、成形型160内の所望位置に容易に充填することができる。そして、流動性素材を加熱し且つ固化させることにより、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153を形成している。つまり、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153が、同時に形成される。 In particular, by using a fluid material of a polymer viscoelastic material, the fluid material can be easily filled in a desired position in the molding die 160. Then, the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 are formed by heating and solidifying the fluid material. That is, the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 are formed at the same time.
 換言すると、流動性素材の加熱および固化により、第一介在部材151がケース110に接着されること、第二介在部材152がケース110およびコネクタ140に接着されること、および、第一補助介在部材153がコネクタ140に接着されることが、同時に行われる。従って、流動性素材を成形型160内に充填させることと、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材152および第一補助介在部材153を対象に接着させることとが、容易に行うことができる。さらに、第一介在部材151の領域、第二介在部材152の領域および第一補助介在部材153の領域の間で、流動性素材が流動可能となることで、成形型160内に流動性素材を充填させることが非常に容易にできる。その結果、低コスト化を図ることができる。さらに、第一介在部材151と第二介在部材152とを同時に形成することができるため、流動性素材の充填回数を低減することができる。このことからも、低コスト化を図ることができる。 In other words, by heating and solidifying the fluid material, the first intervening member 151 is adhered to the case 110, the second intervening member 152 is adhered to the case 110 and the connector 140, and the first auxiliary intervening member. The 153 is glued to the connector 140 at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to easily fill the mold 160 with the fluid material and to bond the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 152, and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 to the target. Further, the fluid material can flow between the region of the first intervening member 151, the region of the second intervening member 152, and the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153, so that the fluid material can be formed in the molding die 160. It can be filled very easily. As a result, the cost can be reduced. Further, since the first intervening member 151 and the second intervening member 152 can be formed at the same time, the number of times of filling the fluid material can be reduced. From this as well, it is possible to reduce the cost.

 箱型電子ユニット3の外観について、図19を参照して説明する。箱型電子ユニット3は、図19に示すように、ケース210、蓋120(以下、区別するために「第一蓋120」と称する)および第二蓋260により扁平状の外形を形成する。本例では、箱型電子ユニット3の外形は、矩形扁平状を図示するが、任意の形状を有する扁平状とすることができる。ケース210、第一蓋120および第二蓋260の内部には、電子回路基板130(図20に示す)および第二電子回路基板270(図20に示す)が収容されている。ここで、第一蓋120および電子回路基板130は、第二例と同一構成からなる。なお、第二電子回路基板270は、回路構成は異なるが、実質的に電子回路基板130と同様の構成からなる。
(4. Box-type electronic unit 3 of the third example)
(4-1. Appearance of Box-type Electronic Unit 3)
The appearance of the box-type electronic unit 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, the box-shaped electronic unit 3 has a flat outer shape formed by a case 210, a lid 120 (hereinafter, referred to as “first lid 120” for distinction), and a second lid 260. In this example, the outer shape of the box-shaped electronic unit 3 is shown as a rectangular flat shape, but it can be a flat shape having an arbitrary shape. An electronic circuit board 130 (shown in FIG. 20) and a second electronic circuit board 270 (shown in FIG. 20) are housed inside the case 210, the first lid 120, and the second lid 260. Here, the first lid 120 and the electronic circuit board 130 have the same configuration as that of the second example. Although the second electronic circuit board 270 has a different circuit configuration, it has substantially the same configuration as the electronic circuit board 130.
 箱型電子ユニット3は、さらに、ケース210、第一蓋120および第二蓋260により形成される扁平状の外形の側面(周面)に、コネクタ140を備える。コネクタ140は、第二例と同一構成からなる。 The box-type electronic unit 3 further includes a connector 140 on the side surface (peripheral surface) of the flat outer shape formed by the case 210, the first lid 120, and the second lid 260. The connector 140 has the same configuration as that of the second example.
 (4-2.箱型電子ユニット3の各要素の構成)
 箱型電子ユニット3の各要素の構成について、図20-図23を参照して説明する。図20に示すように、箱型電子ユニット3は、電子回路基板130と、第二電子回路基板270と、コネクタ一体ケース280と、第一蓋120と、第二蓋260とを備える。
(4-2. Configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 3)
The configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 23. As shown in FIG. 20, the box-type electronic unit 3 includes an electronic circuit board 130, a second electronic circuit board 270, a connector integrated case 280, a first lid 120, and a second lid 260.
 コネクタ一体ケース280は、ケース210とコネクタ140とが一体に形成された部材である。コネクタ一体ケース280は、別体に形成されたケース210とコネクタ140とを、一体的に接合することにより形成されている。コネクタ一体ケース280は、さらに、ケース210と第一蓋120との間に介在する第一介在部材151、ケース210とコネクタ140との間に介在する第二介在部材282、コネクタ140と第一蓋120との間に介在する第一補助介在部材153を備える。第一介在部材151および第一補助介在部材153は、第二例と同一構成からなる。さらに、コネクタ一体ケース280は、ケース210と第二蓋260との間に介在する第三介在部材284を備える。 The connector integrated case 280 is a member in which the case 210 and the connector 140 are integrally formed. The connector integrated case 280 is formed by integrally joining the separately formed case 210 and the connector 140. The connector integrated case 280 further includes a first intervening member 151 interposed between the case 210 and the first lid 120, a second intervening member 282 interposed between the case 210 and the connector 140, and the connector 140 and the first lid. A first auxiliary intervening member 153 interposed between the 120 and 120 is provided. The first intervening member 151 and the first auxiliary intervening member 153 have the same configuration as that of the second example. Further, the connector-integrated case 280 includes a third intervening member 284 interposed between the case 210 and the second lid 260.
 コネクタ一体ケース280について、図21-図23を参照して説明する。コネクタ一体ケース280を構成するケース210は、扁平状に形成されており、電子回路基板130および第二電子回路基板270を収容する。ケース210は、第二例におけるケース110と同種の材料により形成されている。 The connector integrated case 280 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 23. The case 210 constituting the connector integrated case 280 is formed in a flat shape and accommodates the electronic circuit board 130 and the second electronic circuit board 270. The case 210 is made of the same material as the case 110 in the second example.
 ケース210は、図21に示すように、筒状に形成されている。ケース210は、内部に仕切板を有していてもよいし、貫通筒状に形成してもよい。ケース210は、少なくとも周壁211を備える。周壁211は、環状に形成されており、環状の軸方向一端に開口する蓋用開口部112aを有し、環状の軸方向他端に開口する第二蓋用開口部213を有する。周壁211は、環状の軸方向に交差する方向に開口するコネクタ用開口部214を有する。 As shown in FIG. 21, the case 210 is formed in a tubular shape. The case 210 may have a partition plate inside, or may be formed in a through-cylindrical shape. The case 210 includes at least a peripheral wall 211. The peripheral wall 211 is formed in an annular shape, has an annular lid opening 112a that opens at one end in the axial direction, and has a second lid opening 213 that opens at the other end in the annular direction. The peripheral wall 211 has a connector opening 214 that opens in a direction intersecting the annular axial direction.
 ここで、蓋用開口部112aは、第二例と同一構成からなる。すなわち、周壁211は、蓋用開口部112aの周縁を形成する周面に、第一接着面112a1を有する。第一接着面112a1は、第一介在部材151との接着面を構成する。 Here, the lid opening 112a has the same configuration as the second example. That is, the peripheral wall 211 has a first adhesive surface 112a1 on the peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 112a. The first adhesive surface 112a1 constitutes an adhesive surface with the first intervening member 151.
 第二蓋用開口部213は、蓋用開口部112aと反対側の端に形成されている。周壁211は、第二蓋用開口部213の周縁を形成する周面に、第三接着面213aを有する。ここで、第三接着面213aは、周壁211の外周面に形成する場合を例にあげるが、周壁211の内周面に形成することもできる。そして、第三接着面213aは、周壁211の軸方向に平行な面を有している。第三接着面213aは、周方向に連続した筒状面が形成される。本例では、第三接着面213aは、外筒面を形成する。詳細は後述するが、第三接着面213aは、第三介在部材284との接着面を構成する。 The second lid opening 213 is formed at the end opposite to the lid opening 112a. The peripheral wall 211 has a third adhesive surface 213a on the peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the second lid opening 213. Here, the case where the third adhesive surface 213a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 211 is given as an example, but it can also be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 211. The third adhesive surface 213a has a surface parallel to the axial direction of the peripheral wall 211. The third adhesive surface 213a is formed with a tubular surface continuous in the circumferential direction. In this example, the third adhesive surface 213a forms an outer cylinder surface. Although the details will be described later, the third adhesive surface 213a constitutes an adhesive surface with the third intervening member 284.
 コネクタ用開口部214は、周壁211における周方向の開口部分に対応する。コネクタ用開口部214は、蓋用開口部112aに連続的につながって形成されている。ただし、本例では、コネクタ用開口部214は、第二蓋用開口部213に対してはつながっていない。つまり、周壁211は、コネクタ用開口部214の周縁を形成部位として、U字状内面を有する。そして、周壁211は、U字状内面のうち、対向する両側面である第二接着面214aを有する。第二接着面214aは、コネクタ用開口部214の周縁において、蓋用開口部112aの側および第二蓋用開口部213の側を除く、少なくとも両側面の2箇所に形成されている。ただし、第二接着面214aは、上記の両側面の2箇所に加えて、第二蓋用開口部213の一部に形成されるようにしてもよい。 The connector opening 214 corresponds to the circumferential opening in the peripheral wall 211. The connector opening 214 is formed by being continuously connected to the lid opening 112a. However, in this example, the connector opening 214 is not connected to the second lid opening 213. That is, the peripheral wall 211 has a U-shaped inner surface with the peripheral edge of the connector opening 214 as a forming portion. The peripheral wall 211 has a second adhesive surface 214a which is a facing side surface of the U-shaped inner surface. The second adhesive surface 214a is formed on the peripheral edge of the connector opening 214 at at least two locations on both side surfaces except the side of the lid opening 112a and the side of the second lid opening 213. However, the second adhesive surface 214a may be formed in a part of the second lid opening 213 in addition to the above two locations on both side surfaces.
 なお、コネクタ用開口部214は、蓋用開口部112aに連続的につながって形成され、且つ、第二蓋用開口部213に連続的につながって形成されるようにしてもよい。この場合、周壁211は、コネクタ用開口部214の周縁として、周壁211の周方向に対向する2つの面である第二接着面214aを有する。 Note that the connector opening 214 may be formed by being continuously connected to the lid opening 112a and continuously connected to the second lid opening 213. In this case, the peripheral wall 211 has a second adhesive surface 214a, which is two surfaces facing the peripheral wall 211 in the circumferential direction, as the peripheral edge of the connector opening 214.
 コネクタ一体ケース280を構成する第一介在部材151は、第二例の第一介在部材151と同一構成からなる。つまり、第一介在部材151は、ケース210の第一接着面112a1に接着されており、ケース210の周壁211の軸方向から見た場合に、C字状に形成されている。 The first intervening member 151 constituting the connector integrated case 280 has the same configuration as the first intervening member 151 of the second example. That is, the first intervening member 151 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the case 210, and is formed in a C shape when viewed from the axial direction of the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210.
 第二介在部材282は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第二介在部材282は、ケース210の周壁211とコネクタ140との間に介在する。第二介在部材282は、図23に示すように、コネクタ用開口部214の周縁のうちの第二接着面214aとコネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aとの対向面のそれぞれに接着されている。つまり、第二介在部材282は、コネクタ140の接着部142の外周面のうち蓋用開口部112aの側および第二蓋用開口部213の側を除く、両側面の2箇所に形成されている。そして、第二介在部材282は、コネクタ用開口部214の周縁とコネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aとの間をシールする。 The second intervening member 282 is formed of a polymer viscoelastic material. The second intervening member 282 is interposed between the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210 and the connector 140. As shown in FIG. 23, the second intervening member 282 is adhered to each of the facing surfaces of the second adhesive surface 214a of the peripheral edge of the connector opening 214 and the outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. There is. That is, the second intervening member 282 is formed at two positions on both side surfaces of the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140, excluding the side of the lid opening 112a and the side of the second lid opening 213. .. Then, the second intervening member 282 seals between the peripheral edge of the connector opening 214 and the outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140.
 第一補助介在部材153は、第二例の第一補助介在部材153と同一構成からなる。第一補助介在部材153は、第一介在部材151と連続的に形成されている。さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、第二介在部材282とも連続的に形成されるようにしてもよい。つまり、第二介在部材282は、第一介在部材151と第一補助介在部材153の少なくとも一方に連続的に形成されている。 The first auxiliary intervening member 153 has the same configuration as the first auxiliary intervening member 153 of the second example. The first auxiliary intervening member 153 is formed continuously with the first intervening member 151. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 may be formed continuously with the second intervening member 282. That is, the second intervening member 282 is continuously formed on at least one of the first intervening member 151 and the first auxiliary intervening member 153.
 第三介在部材284は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第三介在部材284は、ケース210の周壁211の第三接着面213aと第二蓋260との間に介在する。第三介在部材284は、図20および図23に示すように、ケース210の第二蓋用開口部213の周縁を形成する周面である第三接着面213aに接着されている。 The third interposition member 284 is formed of a polymer viscoelastic material. The third intervening member 284 is interposed between the third adhesive surface 213a of the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210 and the second lid 260. As shown in FIGS. 20 and 23, the third intervening member 284 is adhered to the third adhesive surface 213a, which is a peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the second lid opening 213 of the case 210.
 コネクタ用開口部214が、第二蓋用開口部213に連続的につながっていない場合には、第三介在部材284は、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。一方、コネクタ用開口部214が、第二蓋用開口部213に連続的につながっている場合には、第三介在部材284は、U字状に形成される。また、第三介在部材284は、第二介在部材282と連続的に形成されている。 When the connector opening 214 is not continuously connected to the second lid opening 213, the third intervening member 284 is formed in a tubular shape continuous in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, when the connector opening 214 is continuously connected to the second lid opening 213, the third intervening member 284 is formed in a U shape. Further, the third intervening member 284 is continuously formed with the second intervening member 282.
 さらに、第三介在部材284は、第三接着面213aとは反対側の面、本例では外周面に、周方向に延びる複数のリップ284aを有する。リップ284aが、第二蓋260に対して非接着状態で接触する部分である。そして、リップ284aが、第二蓋260との間でシール機能を発揮し、第二蓋260の保持力を発揮する。つまり、リップ284aは、第二蓋260に対して非接着状態であり且つシールした状態で第二蓋260を保持する部分として機能する。 Further, the third intervening member 284 has a plurality of lips 284a extending in the circumferential direction on the surface opposite to the third adhesive surface 213a, in this example, the outer peripheral surface. The lip 284a is a portion that comes into contact with the second lid 260 in a non-adhesive state. Then, the lip 284a exerts a sealing function with the second lid 260 and exerts a holding force of the second lid 260. That is, the lip 284a functions as a portion that holds the second lid 260 in a non-adhesive state and a sealed state with respect to the second lid 260.
 ここで、第三接着面213aが周壁211の内周面に形成されている場合には、第三介在部材284は、内周面に複数のリップ284aを有することになる。また、第三介在部材284は、第一介在部材151と同一の高分子粘弾性材料により形成される。 Here, when the third adhesive surface 213a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 211, the third intervening member 284 will have a plurality of lips 284a on the inner peripheral surface. Further, the third intervening member 284 is formed of the same polymer viscoelastic material as the first intervening member 151.
 ここで、コネクタ用開口部214が、第二蓋用開口部213に連続的につながって形成される場合には、コネクタ一体ケース280は、さらに、コネクタ140と第二蓋260との間に介在する第三補助介在部材(図示せず)を備える。第三補助介在部材は、第二蓋用開口部213とコネクタ用開口部214との接続部位に形成される。第三補助介在部材は、位置および形成対象が異なるが、実質的に、第一補助介在部材153と同様の構成からなる。 Here, when the connector opening 214 is formed by being continuously connected to the second lid opening 213, the connector integrated case 280 is further interposed between the connector 140 and the second lid 260. A third auxiliary intervening member (not shown) is provided. The third auxiliary intervening member is formed at a connection portion between the second lid opening 213 and the connector opening 214. Although the position and the object to be formed are different, the third auxiliary intervening member has substantially the same configuration as the first auxiliary intervening member 153.
 第二蓋260は、図20に示すように、ケース210の第二蓋用開口部213を閉塞する。第二蓋260は、第一蓋120と同様に、金属または樹脂により形成されている。第二蓋260は、ケース210に対応する有底容器状に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 20, the second lid 260 closes the second lid opening 213 of the case 210. The second lid 260, like the first lid 120, is made of metal or resin. The second lid 260 is formed in the shape of a bottomed container corresponding to the case 210.
 詳細には、第二蓋260は、底面261と、周壁262とを備える。底面261は、平板状に形成されている。底面261の外形は、ケース210の第二蓋用開口部213の外形と同様に形成されている。つまり、底面261の外形は、例えば、矩形状に形成されている。 Specifically, the second lid 260 includes a bottom surface 261 and a peripheral wall 262. The bottom surface 261 is formed in a flat plate shape. The outer shape of the bottom surface 261 is formed in the same manner as the outer shape of the second lid opening 213 of the case 210. That is, the outer shape of the bottom surface 261 is formed in a rectangular shape, for example.
 周壁262は、底面261の周縁を全周に亘って囲むように形成されている。周壁262の内周面は、第三介在部材284のリップ284aに非接着状態で接触する部位である。つまり、第三介在部材284が、ケース210の周壁211の第三接着面213aと第二蓋260の周壁262の内周面との間に挟まれた状態でシールする。 The peripheral wall 262 is formed so as to surround the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 261 over the entire circumference. The inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 262 is a portion that comes into contact with the lip 284a of the third intervening member 284 in a non-adhesive state. That is, the third intervening member 284 is sealed while being sandwiched between the third adhesive surface 213a of the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 262 of the second lid 260.
 (4-3.箱型電子ユニット3の製造方法)
 箱型電子ユニット3の製造方法について、図24および図25を参照して説明する。図24および図25に示すように、ケース210およびコネクタ140を、成形型290内に配置する(ステップS21)。成形型290は、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材282、第一補助介在部材153および第三介在部材284を成形するための型である。成形型290は、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を供給するための1つ以上の供給口291を有している。
(4-3. Manufacturing method of box-type electronic unit 3)
A method of manufacturing the box-type electronic unit 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the case 210 and the connector 140 are placed in the mold 290 (step S21). The molding die 290 is a mold for molding the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 282, the first auxiliary intervening member 153, and the third intervening member 284. The mold 290 has one or more supply ports 291 for supplying a fluid material of a polymer viscoelastic material.
 続いて、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を、成形型290の供給口291から供給する。そして、流動性素材を、第一介在部材151の領域、第二介在部材282の領域、第一補助介在部材153の領域および第三介在部材284の領域との間で流動させる。例えば、供給口291は、第一介在部材151の領域に連通している。この場合、流動性素材は、第一介在部材151の領域から第二介在部材282の領域へ流動し、且つ、第一介在部材151の領域から第一補助介在部材153の領域へ流動する。さらに、流動性素材は、第二介在部材282の領域から第三介在部材284の領域へ流動する。 Subsequently, the fluid material of the polymer viscoelastic material is supplied from the supply port 291 of the molding die 290. Then, the fluid material is made to flow between the region of the first intervening member 151, the region of the second intervening member 282, the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153, and the region of the third intervening member 284. For example, the supply port 291 communicates with the region of the first intervening member 151. In this case, the fluid material flows from the region of the first intervening member 151 to the region of the second intervening member 282, and flows from the region of the first intervening member 151 to the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153. Further, the fluid material flows from the region of the second intervening member 282 to the region of the third intervening member 284.
 このようにして、流動性素材は、第一介在部材151の領域、第二介在部材152の領域、第一補助介在部材153の領域および第三介在部材284の領域に充填される(ステップS22)。なお、成形型290の供給口291は、第二介在部材282の領域に連通するようにしてもよいし、第一補助介在部材153の領域に連通するようにしてもよいし、第三介在部材284の領域に連通するようにしてもよい。 In this way, the fluid material is filled in the region of the first intervening member 151, the region of the second intervening member 152, the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153, and the region of the third intervening member 284 (step S22). .. The supply port 291 of the molding die 290 may communicate with the region of the second intervening member 282, may communicate with the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 153, or may communicate with the region of the third intervening member 153. It may communicate with the area of 284.
 続いて、成形型290内において、流動性素材を加熱して、さらに流動性素材を固化させることにより、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材282、第一補助介在部材153および第三介在部材284が形成される(ステップS23)。 Subsequently, in the molding die 290, the fluid material is heated to further solidify the fluid material, whereby the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 282, the first auxiliary intervening member 153, and the third intervening member are solidified. 284 is formed (step S23).
 このとき、流動性素材の加熱によって、第一介在部材151は、ケース210の第一接着面112a1に接着される。また、第二介在部材282は、ケース210の第二接着面214aに接着されると共に、コネクタ140の接着部142の外周面142aに接着される。さらに、第一補助介在部材153は、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bに接着される。さらに、第三介在部材284は、ケース210の第三接着面213aに接着される。このようにして、コネクタ一体ケース280が完成する。 At this time, the first intervening member 151 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the case 210 by heating the fluid material. Further, the second intervening member 282 is adhered to the second adhesive surface 214a of the case 210 and also to the outer peripheral surface 142a of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is adhered to the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. Further, the third intervening member 284 is adhered to the third adhesive surface 213a of the case 210. In this way, the connector integrated case 280 is completed.
 続いて、コネクタ一体ケース280に、電子回路基板130を取り付ける(ステップS24)。続いて、コネクタ一体ケース280に、蓋120を装着する(ステップS25)。詳細には、蓋120の周壁122を、ケース210の周壁211の第一接着面112a1の外側、且つ、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bの外側に、嵌め込む。このとき、第一介在部材151が、ケース210の第一接着面112a1と蓋120の周壁122との間に圧縮された状態となり、シールすると共に、蓋120を保持する。さらに、第一補助介在部材153が、コネクタ140の接着部142の座面142bと蓋120の周壁122との間に圧縮された状態となり、シールすると共に、蓋120の保持力を発揮する。 Subsequently, the electronic circuit board 130 is attached to the connector integrated case 280 (step S24). Subsequently, the lid 120 is attached to the connector integrated case 280 (step S25). Specifically, the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120 is fitted to the outside of the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210 and to the outside of the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140. At this time, the first intervening member 151 is in a compressed state between the first adhesive surface 112a1 of the case 210 and the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120, and seals and holds the lid 120. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 153 is in a compressed state between the seat surface 142b of the adhesive portion 142 of the connector 140 and the peripheral wall 122 of the lid 120, and seals the lid 120 while exerting the holding force of the lid 120.
 続いて、蓋120まで装着した一体物を反転させて、コネクタ一体ケース280に、第二電子回路基板270を取り付ける(ステップS26)。続いて、コネクタ一体ケース280に、第二蓋260を装着する(ステップS27)。詳細には、第二蓋260の周壁262を、ケース210の周壁211の第三接着面213aの外側に嵌め込む。このとき、第三介在部材284が、ケース210の第三接着面213aと第二蓋260の周壁262との間に圧縮された状態となり、シールすると共に、第二蓋260を保持する。 Subsequently, the integrated object attached up to the lid 120 is inverted, and the second electronic circuit board 270 is attached to the connector integrated case 280 (step S26). Subsequently, the second lid 260 is attached to the connector integrated case 280 (step S27). Specifically, the peripheral wall 262 of the second lid 260 is fitted to the outside of the third adhesive surface 213a of the peripheral wall 211 of the case 210. At this time, the third intervening member 284 is in a compressed state between the third adhesive surface 213a of the case 210 and the peripheral wall 262 of the second lid 260, seals the case 210, and holds the second lid 260.
 (4-4.効果)
 第二例に対して、第三例では、コネクタ一体ケース280が第三介在部材284をさらに備えるが、製造工程数としては同数である。つまり、第一介在部材151、第二介在部材282、第一補助介在部材153および第三介在部材284が、容易に形成できる。その結果、箱型電子ユニット3の低コスト化を図ることができる。
(4-4. Effect)
In contrast to the second example, in the third example, the connector integrated case 280 further includes the third intervening member 284, but the number of manufacturing steps is the same. That is, the first intervening member 151, the second intervening member 282, the first auxiliary intervening member 153, and the third intervening member 284 can be easily formed. As a result, the cost of the box-type electronic unit 3 can be reduced.
 (5.第四例の箱型電子ユニット4)
 (5-1.箱型電子ユニット4の外観)
 箱型電子ユニット4の外観について、図26および図27を参照して説明する。箱型電子ユニット4は、図26および図27に示すように、ケース310と蓋320とにより扁平状の外形を形成する。本例では、箱型電子ユニット4の外形は、矩形扁平状を図示するが、任意の形状を有する扁平状とすることができる。ケース310と蓋320の内部には、電子回路基板130(図28に示す)が収容されている。ここで、電子回路基板130は、第二例と実質的に同一構成からなる。
(5. Box-type electronic unit 4 of the fourth example)
(5-1. Appearance of Box-type Electronic Unit 4)
The appearance of the box-shaped electronic unit 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the box-shaped electronic unit 4 has a flat outer shape formed by the case 310 and the lid 320. In this example, the outer shape of the box-shaped electronic unit 4 is shown as a rectangular flat shape, but it can be a flat shape having an arbitrary shape. An electronic circuit board 130 (shown in FIG. 28) is housed inside the case 310 and the lid 320. Here, the electronic circuit board 130 has substantially the same configuration as that of the second example.
 箱型電子ユニット4は、さらに、ケース310と蓋320とにより形成される扁平状の外形の扁平面に、外部コネクタに接続されるコネクタ340を備える。コネクタ340は、長円形状の接続孔を有する。コネクタ340の接続孔は、例えば、ケース310と蓋320とにより形成される扁平状の外形の側方に向かって延びるように形成されている。なお、コネクタ340の接続孔は、扁平状の外形の法線方向に向かって延びるように形成してもよいし、法線方向に任意の角度を有する方向(例えば、45°の方向)に向かって延びるように形成してもよい。コネクタ340の端子は、電子回路基板130(図28に示す)に電気的に接続されている。 The box-type electronic unit 4 further includes a connector 340 connected to an external connector on a flat outer flat surface formed by the case 310 and the lid 320. The connector 340 has an oval-shaped connection hole. The connection hole of the connector 340 is formed so as to extend toward the side of the flat outer shape formed by, for example, the case 310 and the lid 320. The connection hole of the connector 340 may be formed so as to extend in the normal direction of the flat outer shape, or may be formed in a direction having an arbitrary angle in the normal direction (for example, a direction of 45 °). It may be formed so as to extend. The terminals of the connector 340 are electrically connected to the electronic circuit board 130 (shown in FIG. 28).
 (5-2.箱型電子ユニット4の各要素の構成)
 箱型電子ユニット4の各要素の構成について、図28-図30を参照して説明する。図28に示すように、箱型電子ユニット4は、電子回路基板130と、コネクタ一体ケース350と、蓋320とを備える。
(5-2. Configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 4)
The configuration of each element of the box-type electronic unit 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 30. As shown in FIG. 28, the box-type electronic unit 4 includes an electronic circuit board 130, a connector integrated case 350, and a lid 320.
 コネクタ一体ケース350は、ケース310とコネクタ340とが一体に形成された部材である。コネクタ一体ケース350は、別体に形成されたケース310とコネクタ340とを、一体的に接合することにより形成されている。コネクタ一体ケース350は、さらに、ケース310と蓋320との間に介在する第一介在部材351、ケース310とコネクタ340との間に介在する第二介在部材352を備える。 The connector integrated case 350 is a member in which the case 310 and the connector 340 are integrally formed. The connector integrated case 350 is formed by integrally joining the separately formed case 310 and the connector 340. The connector-integrated case 350 further includes a first intervening member 351 interposed between the case 310 and the lid 320, and a second intervening member 352 interposed between the case 310 and the connector 340.
 コネクタ一体ケース350について、図28-図30を参照して説明する。コネクタ一体ケース350を構成するケース310は、扁平状に形成されており、電子回路基板130を収容する。ケース310は、第二例におけるケース110と同種の材料により形成されている。 The connector integrated case 350 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28-30. The case 310 constituting the connector integrated case 350 is formed in a flat shape and accommodates the electronic circuit board 130. The case 310 is made of the same material as the case 110 in the second example.
 ケース310は、図29に示すように、有底容器状に形成されている。ケース310は、底面311と、周壁312とを備える。底面311は、平面状に形成されており、例えば矩形に形成されている。底面311は、電子回路基板130の外形に対応する形状に形成されている。底面311の外面は、図26に示すように、放熱性を良好とするために、凹凸状に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 29, the case 310 is formed in the shape of a bottomed container. The case 310 includes a bottom surface 311 and a peripheral wall 312. The bottom surface 311 is formed in a plane shape, for example, in a rectangular shape. The bottom surface 311 is formed in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the electronic circuit board 130. As shown in FIG. 26, the outer surface of the bottom surface 311 is formed in an uneven shape in order to improve heat dissipation.
 さらに、底面311は、底面311の法線方向に開口するコネクタ用開口部311aを有する。コネクタ用開口部311aは、例えば、矩形状に形成されている。底面311は、コネクタ用開口部311aの周縁を形成する内周面に、第二接着面311a1を有する。第二接着面311a1の中心軸線(第二中心軸線)は、底面311の法線方向に平行な軸線である。詳細は後述するが、第二接着面311a1は、第二介在部材352との接着面を構成する。なお、コネクタ用開口部311aは、底面311のみに形成してもよいし、底面311に加えて底面311から法線方向に延びる筒状部を有するようにしてもよい。 Further, the bottom surface 311 has a connector opening 311a that opens in the normal direction of the bottom surface 311. The connector opening 311a is formed in a rectangular shape, for example. The bottom surface 311 has a second adhesive surface 311a1 on an inner peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the connector opening 311a. The central axis (second central axis) of the second adhesive surface 311a1 is an axis parallel to the normal direction of the bottom surface 311. Although the details will be described later, the second adhesive surface 311a1 constitutes an adhesive surface with the second intervening member 352. The connector opening 311a may be formed only on the bottom surface 311 or may have a tubular portion extending in the normal direction from the bottom surface 311 in addition to the bottom surface 311.
 周壁312は、図29に示すように、底面311の周縁を全周に亘って囲むように形成されている。つまり、周壁312は、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。周壁312は、周壁312の軸方向のうち底面311とは反対側の端に、底面311の法線方向に開口する蓋用開口部312aを有する。蓋用開口部312aは、例えば、電子回路基板130の外形に対応する矩形状を有する。周壁312は、蓋用開口部312aの周縁を形成する周面に、第一接着面312a1を有する。ここで、第一接着面312a1は、周壁312の外周面に形成する場合を例にあげるが、周壁312の内周面に形成することもできる。そして、第一接着面312a1は、周壁312の軸方向に平行な面を有している。詳細は後述するが、第一接着面312a1は、第一介在部材351との接着面を構成する。 As shown in FIG. 29, the peripheral wall 312 is formed so as to surround the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 311 over the entire circumference. That is, the peripheral wall 312 is formed in a tubular shape continuous in the circumferential direction. The peripheral wall 312 has a lid opening 312a that opens in the normal direction of the bottom surface 311 at an end opposite to the bottom surface 311 in the axial direction of the peripheral wall 312. The lid opening 312a has, for example, a rectangular shape corresponding to the outer shape of the electronic circuit board 130. The peripheral wall 312 has a first adhesive surface 312a1 on the peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 312a. Here, the case where the first adhesive surface 312a1 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 312 will be given as an example, but it can also be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 312. The first adhesive surface 312a1 has a surface parallel to the axial direction of the peripheral wall 312. Although the details will be described later, the first adhesive surface 312a1 constitutes an adhesive surface with the first intervening member 351.
 ここで、第一接着面312a1と第二接着面311a1とは、独立して形成されている。つまり、第一接着面312a1と第二接着面311a1とは、つながっていない。また、第一接着面312a1の中心軸線(第一中心軸線)と第二接着面311a1の中心軸線とは、平行である。従って、第一接着面312a1は、第一中心軸線を有する筒状を構成しており、第二接着面311a1は、第二中心軸線を有する筒状を構成している。 Here, the first adhesive surface 312a1 and the second adhesive surface 311a1 are formed independently. That is, the first adhesive surface 312a1 and the second adhesive surface 311a1 are not connected. Further, the central axis of the first adhesive surface 312a1 (first central axis) and the central axis of the second adhesive surface 311a1 are parallel. Therefore, the first adhesive surface 312a1 has a tubular shape having a first central axis, and the second adhesive surface 311a1 has a tubular shape having a second central axis.
 ケース310は、さらに、蓋320と締結するための締結部材(図示せず)を取り付けるための取付座313を有する。ケース310は、例えば、矩形の4隅に取付座313を有する。取付座313は、締結部材を挿通するための孔が形成されている。 The case 310 further has a mounting seat 313 for mounting a fastening member (not shown) for fastening to the lid 320. The case 310 has mounting seats 313 at four corners of the rectangle, for example. The mounting seat 313 is formed with a hole for inserting the fastening member.
 コネクタ一体ケース350を構成するコネクタ340は、図29および図30に示すように、ケース310と別体に形成されている。コネクタ340は、ケース310のコネクタ用開口部311aに固定される。さらに、コネクタ340は、電子回路基板(図28に示す)と外部とを電気的に接続する。 As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the connector 340 constituting the connector integrated case 350 is formed separately from the case 310. The connector 340 is fixed to the connector opening 311a of the case 310. Further, the connector 340 electrically connects the electronic circuit board (shown in FIG. 28) to the outside.
 ここで、コネクタ340は、相手装着部341と、接着部342と、複数の端子343とを備える。相手装着部341と接着部342とにより構成される本体(341,342)は、例えば、樹脂により形成されている。そして、相手装着部341と接着部342とは、一体に形成されている。 Here, the connector 340 includes a mating portion 341, an adhesive portion 342, and a plurality of terminals 343. The main body (341, 342) composed of the mating portion 341 and the adhesive portion 342 is formed of, for example, resin. The mating portion 341 and the adhesive portion 342 are integrally formed.
 相手装着部341は、ケース310の底面311より外側に露出して、突出する部分を構成する。相手装着部341は、外部の相手部材のコネクタ(図示せず)と装着される部分である。相手装着部341は、例えば、底面311の面方向に平行な中心軸線を有する筒状に形成されている。なお、相手装着部341は、底面311の面法線方向に平行な中心軸線を有する筒状に形成されるようにしてもよいし、底面311の面方向に任意の角度となる中心軸線を有する筒状に形成されるようにしてもよい。また、相手装着部341は、例えば長円筒状に形成されているが、任意の筒状に形成されるようにしてもよい。 The mating portion 341 is exposed to the outside from the bottom surface 311 of the case 310 and constitutes a protruding portion. The mating portion 341 is a portion to be mounted with a connector (not shown) of an external mating member. The mating portion 341 is formed, for example, in a tubular shape having a central axis parallel to the surface direction of the bottom surface 311. The mating portion 341 may be formed in a tubular shape having a central axis parallel to the surface normal direction of the bottom surface 311 or having a central axis line at an arbitrary angle in the surface direction of the bottom surface 311. It may be formed in a tubular shape. Further, although the mating portion 341 is formed in a long cylindrical shape, for example, it may be formed in an arbitrary tubular shape.
 接着部342は、相手装着部341の端側に位置し、例えば、相手装着部341の筒状の中心軸線に直交する軸線を中心とする外周面342aを有する。なお、接着部342は、相手装着部341の筒状の中心軸線に平行または同軸である軸線を中心とする外周面342aを有するようにしてもよく、相手装着部341の筒状の中心軸線に任意の角度を有する軸線を中心とする外周面342aを有するようにしてもよい。接着部342の外周面342aは、例えば矩形状を有しており、コネクタ用開口部311aの第二接着面311a1に対向する。 The adhesive portion 342 is located on the end side of the mating portion mounting portion 341, and has, for example, an outer peripheral surface 342a centered on an axis orthogonal to the tubular central axis of the mating mounting portion 341. The adhesive portion 342 may have an outer peripheral surface 342a centered on an axis parallel to or coaxial with the tubular central axis of the mating portion 341, and may be provided on the tubular central axis of the mating mounting portion 341. It may have an outer peripheral surface 342a centered on an axis having an arbitrary angle. The outer peripheral surface 342a of the adhesive portion 342 has, for example, a rectangular shape, and faces the second adhesive surface 311a1 of the connector opening 311a.
 複数の端子343は、例えば、金属によりL字状に形成されており、相手装着部341および接着部342により構成されるコネクタ340の本体にインサート成形されている。端子343のL字状の一端は、相手装着部341側に露出しており、他端は、接着部342側に露出している。なお、相手装着部341と接着部342とが平行または同軸である場合には、端子343は、直線状に形成するようにしてもよい。また、相手装着部341と接着部342とが任意の角度(例えば45°)を有する場合には、端子343も、任意の角度(例えば45°)を有するように形成される。 The plurality of terminals 343 are, for example, formed in an L shape by metal, and are insert-molded into the main body of the connector 340 composed of the mating portion 341 and the adhesive portion 342. One end of the terminal 343 is exposed to the mating portion 341 side, and the other end is exposed to the adhesive portion 342 side. When the mating portion 341 and the adhesive portion 342 are parallel or coaxial, the terminal 343 may be formed in a straight line. Further, when the mating portion 341 and the adhesive portion 342 have an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 °), the terminal 343 is also formed so as to have an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 °).
 コネクタ一体ケース350を構成する第一介在部材351は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第一介在部材351は、ケース310の周壁312と蓋320との間に介在する。第一介在部材351は、図28および図31に示すように、ケース310の蓋用開口部312aの周縁に接着されている。詳細には、第一介在部材351は、ケース310の周壁312において、蓋用開口部312aの周縁を形成する周面である第一接着面312a1に接着されている。つまり、第一介在部材351は、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。 The first intervening member 351 constituting the connector integrated case 350 is made of a polymer viscoelastic material. The first intervening member 351 is interposed between the peripheral wall 312 of the case 310 and the lid 320. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, the first intervening member 351 is adhered to the peripheral edge of the lid opening 312a of the case 310. Specifically, the first intervening member 351 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 312a1, which is a peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 312a, on the peripheral wall 312 of the case 310. That is, the first intervening member 351 is formed in a tubular shape continuous in the circumferential direction.
 さらに、第一介在部材351は、第一接着面312a1とは反対側の面、本例では外周面に、周方向に延びる複数のリップ351aを有する。リップ351aが、蓋320に対して非接着状態で接触する部分である。そして、リップ351aが、蓋320との間でシール機能を発揮し、蓋320の保持力を発揮する。つまり、リップ351aは、蓋320に対して非接着状態であり且つシールした状態で蓋320を保持する部分として機能する。第一介在部材351を形成する高分子粘弾性材料は、第二例の第一介在部材151と同一である。 Further, the first intervening member 351 has a plurality of lips 351a extending in the circumferential direction on the surface opposite to the first adhesive surface 312a1, the outer peripheral surface in this example. The lip 351a is a portion that comes into contact with the lid 320 in a non-adhesive state. Then, the lip 351a exerts a sealing function with the lid 320 and exerts a holding force of the lid 320. That is, the lip 351a functions as a portion that holds the lid 320 in a non-adhesive state and a sealed state with respect to the lid 320. The polymer viscoelastic material forming the first intervening member 351 is the same as the first intervening member 151 of the second example.
 コネクタ一体ケース350を構成する第二介在部材352は、高分子粘弾性材料により形成されている。第二介在部材352は、ケース310の底面311のコネクタ用開口部311aの周縁とコネクタ340との間に介在する。第二介在部材352は、図28および図31に示すように、ケース310のコネクタ用開口部311aの周縁の第二接着面311a1とコネクタ340の接着部342との対向面のそれぞれに接着されている。従って、第二介在部材352は、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。そして、第二介在部材352は、ケース310の第二接着面311a1とコネクタ340の接着部342の外周面342aとの間をシールする。第二介在部材352は、第一介在部材351と同一の高分子粘弾性材料により形成されるようにしてもよいし、異なる高分子粘弾性材料により形成されるようにしてもよい。 The second intervening member 352 constituting the connector integrated case 350 is made of a polymer viscoelastic material. The second intervening member 352 is interposed between the peripheral edge of the connector opening 311a on the bottom surface 311 of the case 310 and the connector 340. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, the second intervening member 352 is adhered to each of the facing surfaces of the second adhesive surface 311a1 on the periphery of the connector opening 311a of the case 310 and the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340. There is. Therefore, the second intervening member 352 is formed in a tubular shape continuous in the circumferential direction. Then, the second intervening member 352 seals between the second adhesive surface 311a1 of the case 310 and the outer peripheral surface 342a of the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340. The second intervening member 352 may be formed of the same polymer viscoelastic material as the first interposing member 351 or may be formed of a different polymer viscoelastic material.
 蓋320は、図28に示すように、ケース310の蓋用開口部312aを閉塞する。蓋320は、第二例の蓋120と同様に、金属または樹脂により形成されている。蓋320は、ケース310に対応する有底容器状に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 28, the lid 320 closes the lid opening 312a of the case 310. The lid 320 is made of metal or resin like the lid 120 of the second example. The lid 320 is formed in the shape of a bottomed container corresponding to the case 310.
 詳細には、蓋320は、底面321と、周壁322と、取付座323とを備える。底面321は、平板状に形成されている。底面321の外形は、ケース310の蓋用開口部312aの外形と同様に形成されている。つまり、底面321の外形は、例えば、矩形状に形成されている。 Specifically, the lid 320 includes a bottom surface 321, a peripheral wall 322, and a mounting seat 323. The bottom surface 321 is formed in a flat plate shape. The outer shape of the bottom surface 321 is formed in the same manner as the outer shape of the lid opening 312a of the case 310. That is, the outer shape of the bottom surface 321 is formed in a rectangular shape, for example.
 周壁322は、底面321の周縁を全周に亘って囲むように形成されている。周壁322の内周面は、第一介在部材351のリップ351aに非接着状態で接触する部位である。つまり、第一介在部材351が、ケース310の周壁312の第一接着面312a1と蓋320の周壁322の内周面との間に挟まれた状態でシールする。 The peripheral wall 322 is formed so as to surround the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 321 over the entire circumference. The inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 322 is a portion that comes into contact with the lip 351a of the first intervening member 351 in a non-adhesive state. That is, the first intervening member 351 is sealed while being sandwiched between the first adhesive surface 312a1 of the peripheral wall 312 of the case 310 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 322 of the lid 320.
 取付座323は、蓋320の周壁322の矩形の4隅に設けられている。取付座323は、ケース310の取付座313に対応する位置に位置しており、締結部材により締結するための孔が形成されている。 The mounting seat 323 is provided at four rectangular corners of the peripheral wall 322 of the lid 320. The mounting seat 323 is located at a position corresponding to the mounting seat 313 of the case 310, and a hole for fastening is formed by the fastening member.
 (5-3.箱型電子ユニット4の製造方法)
 箱型電子ユニット4の製造方法について、図32および図33を参照して説明する。図32および図33に示すように、ケース310およびコネクタ340を、成形型360内に配置する(ステップS31)。成形型360は、第一介在部材351、第二介在部材352を成形するための型である。成形型360は、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を供給するための1つ以上の供給口361を有している。
(5-3. Manufacturing method of box-type electronic unit 4)
A method of manufacturing the box-type electronic unit 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33. As shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, the case 310 and the connector 340 are placed in the mold 360 (step S31). The molding die 360 is a mold for molding the first intervening member 351 and the second intervening member 352. The mold 360 has one or more supply ports 361 for supplying a fluid material of a polymer viscoelastic material.
 続いて、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を、成形型360の供給口361から供給する。そして、流動性素材が、第一介在部材351の領域および第二介在部材352の領域に供給させる。そうすると、流動性素材が、第一介在部材351の領域および第二介在部材352の領域に充填される(ステップS32)。 Subsequently, the fluid material of the polymer viscoelastic material is supplied from the supply port 361 of the molding die 360. Then, the fluid material is supplied to the region of the first intervening member 351 and the region of the second intervening member 352. Then, the fluid material is filled in the region of the first intervening member 351 and the region of the second intervening member 352 (step S32).
 続いて、成形型360内において、流動性素材を加熱して、さらに流動性素材を固化させることにより、第一介在部材351および第二介在部材352が形成される(ステップS33)。このとき、流動性素材の加熱によって、第一介在部材351は、ケース310の第一接着面312a1に接着される。また、第二介在部材352は、ケース310の第二接着面311a1に接着されると共に、コネクタ340の接着部342の外周面342aに接着される。このようにして、コネクタ一体ケース350が完成する。 Subsequently, in the molding die 360, the fluid material is heated to further solidify the fluid material, whereby the first intervening member 351 and the second intervening member 352 are formed (step S33). At this time, the first interposition member 351 is adhered to the first adhesive surface 312a1 of the case 310 by heating the fluid material. Further, the second intervening member 352 is adhered to the second adhesive surface 311a1 of the case 310 and also to the outer peripheral surface 342a of the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340. In this way, the connector integrated case 350 is completed.

In the box-shaped electronic unit 4 of the fourth example, the first intervening member 351 and the second intervening member 352 can be easily formed as in the second and third examples. As a result, the cost of the box-type electronic unit 4 can be reduced.
 (6.第五例の箱型電子ユニット5)
 第五例の箱型電子ユニット5は、第四例の箱型電子ユニット4に対して、コネクタ一体ケース450のみ相違する。コネクタ一体ケース450について、図34および図35を参照して説明する。コネクタ一体ケース450は、ケース410、コネクタ340、第一介在部材451、第二介在部材452、第一補助介在部材453を備える。コネクタ340は、第四例の箱型電子ユニット4におけるコネクタ340と同一構成からなる。
(6. Box-type electronic unit 5 of the fifth example)
The box-type electronic unit 5 of the fifth example differs from the box-type electronic unit 4 of the fourth example only in the connector integrated case 450. The connector integrated case 450 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35. The connector integrated case 450 includes a case 410, a connector 340, a first intervening member 451 and a second intervening member 452, and a first auxiliary intervening member 453. The connector 340 has the same configuration as the connector 340 in the box-type electronic unit 4 of the fourth example.
 ケース410は、図35に示すように、底面411と、周壁412とを備える。底面411は、コネクタ用開口部411aを有する。コネクタ用開口部411aの周縁を形成する内周面は、第二接着面411a1を有する。第二接着面411a1の中心軸線(第二中心軸線)は、底面411の法線方向に平行な軸線である。 As shown in FIG. 35, the case 410 includes a bottom surface 411 and a peripheral wall 412. The bottom surface 411 has a connector opening 411a. The inner peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the connector opening 411a has a second adhesive surface 411a1. The central axis (second central axis) of the second adhesive surface 411a1 is an axis parallel to the normal direction of the bottom surface 411.
 周壁412は、底面411の周縁付近を全周に亘って囲むように形成されている。つまり、周壁412は、周方向に連続した筒状に形成されている。ただし、周壁412は、コネクタ用開口部411aが形成されている部位において、コネクタ用開口部411aが周壁412の外側に位置するように形成されている。つまり、周壁412は、コネクタ用開口部411aが形成されている部位において、底面411の法線方向から見た場合に、U字状に形成されている。 The peripheral wall 412 is formed so as to surround the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the bottom surface 411 over the entire circumference. That is, the peripheral wall 412 is formed in a tubular shape continuous in the circumferential direction. However, the peripheral wall 412 is formed so that the connector opening 411a is located outside the peripheral wall 412 at the portion where the connector opening 411a is formed. That is, the peripheral wall 412 is formed in a U shape when viewed from the normal direction of the bottom surface 411 at the portion where the connector opening 411a is formed.
 そして、周壁412は、底面411とは反対側の端に、蓋用開口部412aを有する。周壁412は、蓋用開口部412aの周縁を形成する周面に、第一接着面412a1を有する。 The peripheral wall 412 has a lid opening 412a at the end opposite to the bottom surface 411. The peripheral wall 412 has a first adhesive surface 412a1 on the peripheral surface forming the peripheral edge of the lid opening 412a.
 ケース410は、さらに、蓋320と締結するための締結部材(図示せず)を取り付けるための取付座413を有する。ケース410は、例えば、矩形の4隅に取付座413を有する。取付座413は、締結部材を挿通するための孔が形成されている。 The case 410 further has a mounting seat 413 for mounting a fastening member (not shown) for fastening to the lid 320. The case 410 has mounting seats 413 at four corners of the rectangle, for example. The mounting seat 413 is formed with a hole for inserting the fastening member.
 第一介在部材451は、ケース410の周壁412の第一接着面412a1のうち、コネクタ用開口部411aが形成されている部位を除く部位に接着されている。つまり、第一介在部材451は、底面411の法線方向から見た場合に、C字状に形成されている。第一介在部材451は、第一接着面412a1とは反対側の面に、周方向に延びる複数のリップ451aを有する。 The first intervening member 451 is adhered to a portion of the first adhesive surface 412a1 of the peripheral wall 412 of the case 410 except the portion where the connector opening 411a is formed. That is, the first intervening member 451 is formed in a C shape when viewed from the normal direction of the bottom surface 411. The first intervening member 451 has a plurality of lips 451a extending in the circumferential direction on a surface opposite to the first adhesive surface 412a1.
 第二介在部材452は、ケース410の底面411のコネクタ用開口部411aの内周面である第二接着面411a1と、周壁412の第一接着面412a1のうち第一介在部材451が存在しないU字状の部位とに接着されている。さらに、第二介在部材452は、コネクタ340の接着部342の外周面342a(図29に示す)のうち、第一接着面412a1および第二接着面411a1に対向する部位に接着されている。第二介在部材452は、第一介在部材451と連続的に形成されている。 The second intervening member 452 is a U having no first intervening member 451 of the second adhesive surface 411a1 which is the inner peripheral surface of the connector opening 411a of the bottom surface 411 of the case 410 and the first adhesive surface 412a1 of the peripheral wall 412. It is adhered to the character-shaped part. Further, the second intervening member 452 is adhered to the outer peripheral surface 342a (shown in FIG. 29) of the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340, which faces the first adhesive surface 412a1 and the second adhesive surface 411a1. The second intervening member 452 is formed continuously with the first intervening member 451.
 第一補助介在部材453は、コネクタ340の接着部342の外周面342aのうち、第二介在部材452が接着されていない部位に接着されている。第一補助介在部材453は、コネクタ340の接着部342の外周面342aとは反対側の面に、周方向に延びる複数のリップ453aを有する。第一補助介在部材453は、第一介在部材451と連続的に形成されている。さらに、第一補助介在部材453のリップ453aも、第一介在部材451のリップ451aと連続的に形成されている。さらに、第一補助介在部材453は、第二介在部材452とも連続的に形成されているようにしてもよい。 The first auxiliary intervening member 453 is adhered to a portion of the outer peripheral surface 342a of the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340 to which the second intervening member 452 is not adhered. The first auxiliary intervening member 453 has a plurality of lips 453a extending in the circumferential direction on a surface opposite to the outer peripheral surface 342a of the adhesive portion 342 of the connector 340. The first auxiliary intervening member 453 is formed continuously with the first intervening member 451. Further, the lip 453a of the first auxiliary intervening member 453 is also formed continuously with the lip 451a of the first intervening member 451. Further, the first auxiliary intervening member 453 may be formed continuously with the second intervening member 452.
 そして、コネクタ一体ケース450の製造において、高分子粘弾性材料の流動性素材を供給し、第一介在部材451の領域と第二介在部材452の領域と第一補助介在部材453の領域の間で流動させることにより、第一介在部材451の領域、第二介在部材452の領域および第一補助介在部材453の領域に流動性素材を充填することができる。他の製造工程は、第四例の箱型電子ユニット4の製造工程と同様である。 Then, in the manufacture of the connector integrated case 450, the fluid material of the polymer viscoelastic material is supplied, and between the region of the first intervening member 451 and the region of the second intervening member 452 and the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 453. By flowing, the fluid material can be filled in the region of the first intervening member 451 and the region of the second intervening member 452 and the region of the first auxiliary intervening member 453. The other manufacturing process is the same as the manufacturing process of the box-type electronic unit 4 of the fourth example.
