Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device. In particular, it relates to a drip-proof structure of an operation member of an electronic device.

Background Art

[0002] In electronic devices such as digital cameras, shooting conditions can be set and functions can be selected by various operation members such as dials, levers, and buttons.

[0003] In recent years, there are also operation means such as touch panels, but physical operation members have many advantages such as being able to perform blind operation and being easy to operate even when wearing gloves.

[0004] On the other hand, a digital camera is an electronic device assumed to be used outdoors, and a structure for preventing intrusion of water droplets such as rain is desirable.

[0005] In the dust and drip-proof structure of the housing, a structure in which an elastic member such as rubber or sponge is sandwiched in a gap and sealed is often used.

[0006] However, in the case of an operation member, there is a movable range for the user to operate, and there is an insertion port for passing a detection part into the housing for state detection.

[0007] If the movable range is sealed by compressing the elastic member, the frictional force becomes a large resistance, so there is a concern that smooth operation and click feeling will be lost.

[0008] If the entire circumference of the insertion port is sealed, there is also a concern about an increase in the size of the operation part and a decrease in the degree of freedom of arrangement.

[0009] In addition, in the case of a rotary operation member, the compression direction and the operation direction are often different, and each time the operation is repeated, the elastic member is pulled and slid, so there is a concern that it will gradually deteriorate and the drip-proof performance will be impaired.

[0010] Patent Document 1 proposes a convertible PC that can also be used as a tablet by rotating the keyboard 360 degrees.

[0011] Furthermore, a configuration has been proposed that, in the event that a user accidentally spills a beverage or other liquid, allows the liquid that seeps in through the gaps in the keycaps to be drained without coming into contact with the electronic components.

[0012] By providing a drainage path below the insertion opening for the drive components that raise and lower the frame surrounding the keyboard, the flow path of any liquid that enters the insertion opening can be controlled, preventing leakage to electronic components while allowing the liquid to be drained outside the casing.

[0013] Furthermore, since the design does not prevent fluid intrusion by sealing with rubber gaskets or the like, the feel of operating the movable keycaps is not compromised. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0014] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6055060 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0015] However, digital cameras and the like are products that are held and used by the user and can be tilted in various directions, making it extremely difficult to control the flow path of the liquid that has entered, as in the conventional configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0016] Furthermore, even if the moisture could be discharged, increased humidity inside the casing could lead to corrosion of precision parts and condensation in the viewfinder and other components due to temperature differences.

[0017] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device that can prevent liquid from entering the housing through the insertion port of the detection unit without impairing the feel of operating the rotating operating member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0018] In order to achieve the above object, the electronic device of the present invention includes a first rotation operation member that can be operated by rotation The lever and a second rotation operation member that rotates about the same rotation axis as the first rotation operation member The dial and a holding portion that holds the first rotation operation member and the second rotation operation member and a part of which is exposed on the appearance. The holding portion includes a wall portion that covers the outer periphery of the first rotation operation member, a first surface provided inside the wall portion and overlapping the rotation range of the operation portion of the first rotation operation member when viewed from the rotation axis direction, and a second surface provided inside the wall portion and overlapping the second rotation operation member when viewed from the rotation axis direction. The height of the first surface is higher than the height of the second surface, and the first surface and the second surface are connected by a connecting portion that does not exceed the first surface. A notch portion from which a part of the shape of the wall portion is removed is provided on the second surface. On the second surface, there is an insertion port for inserting the first rotation operation member into the casing First into which the second rotation operation member is inserted second an insertion port different from The first of the above the insertion port and First an Enter insertion port, and a convex portion that covers the periphery of the insertion port are provided.

Advantages of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electronic device that does not impair the operation feeling of the rotation operation member and can prevent liquid from entering the casing from the insertion port of the detection portion.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings. In each embodiment, common elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0022] Note that the embodiments described below are examples for realizing the present invention, and should be appropriately modified or changed according to the configuration and various conditions of the device to which the present invention is applied. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] Also, a part of each of the embodiments described below may be appropriately combined and configured.

Example

[0024] First, referring to FIG. 1, the basic configuration of an imaging device 100, which is an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, will be described. FIG. 1(a) is an external perspective view of the imaging device 100 seen from the front, and FIG. 1(b) is an external perspective view seen from the back.

[0025] (Basic Configuration of Imaging Device 100) A lens mount 11 is provided on the front of the imaging device 100, and various optical lenses (not shown) can be attached.

[0026] Inside the lens mount 11, an imaging element 10 and a lens communication terminal 12 for communicating with the optical lens are provided.

[0027] By forming an image of the subject on the image sensor 10 using the optical system of the optical lens, still images and videos can be captured.

[0028] The optical lens and the imaging device 100 communicate as needed via the lens communication terminal 12 to drive and correct the optical lens, and to configure settings during imaging.

[0029] A gripping section 7 is provided on the side of the imaging device 100, allowing the user to grip the imaging device 100 with their right hand and operate various control members using their index finger and thumb.

[0030] A release switch 1 is provided on the top surface of the imaging device 100, and pressing it will instruct the start of still image capture.

[0031] The power lever 20, mode button 21, and upper electronic dial 22 are a group of operating components mounted coaxially. The power lever 20 is an operating component that controls the power supply of the imaging device 100. When turned ON, power is supplied from the battery (not shown), and the imaging device 100 starts up.

[0032] In addition to ON and OFF, it also has a LOCK phase that disables the input of the operating component, which will be described in detail later.

[0033] The upper electronic dial 22 is a rotating control element that allows you to change the values ​​and items of various settings according to the amount of rotation. There is no end to the rotation, and it can be rotated indefinitely left and right.

[0034] The mode button 21 is an operating element for changing the shooting mode. After pressing it, the upper electronic dial 22 can be rotated to switch between shooting modes such as shutter-priority mode and aperture-priority mode.

[0035] An interface section 8 is provided on the side of the imaging device 100 opposite to the gripping section 7.

[0036] Figure 1(a) shows the device covered with a rubber cap, but inside the cap are various communication terminals (not shown), including a headphone jack, microphone jack, HDMI terminal, and USB terminal.

[0037] It connects to and communicates with external devices such as PCs, external microphones, and external recording devices.

[0038] A video / still image switching lever 24 is provided on the upper surface near the interface section 8. The video / still image switching lever 24 is a rotating operating member with two phases, and by rotating it, it is possible to easily switch between video shooting mode and still image shooting mode.

[0039] An electronic viewfinder 2 is provided at the upper center of the back of the imaging device 100.

[0040] The electronic viewfinder 2 incorporates an LCD panel (not shown) and a diopter adjustment lens, allowing the user to check the shooting angle, focus, and color tone by looking through the electronic viewfinder 2.

[0041] The rear LCD 3 and top LCD 4 are also display components. The rear LCD 3, like the electronic viewfinder 2, can display information related to the captured image, various settings, menu screens, etc.

[0042] The top LCD 4 is primarily used to display shooting modes and settings. For example, when using the aforementioned mode button 21, the user can switch shooting modes while checking the display.

[0043] The media insertion section 5 is a slot component for inserting recording media such as SD cards and CFexpress cards, and Figure 1(b) shows it covered by a cover. The user can manually open the cover and insert various recording media into the slot (not shown) of the media insertion section 5.

[0044] (Consists of a mode button 21 and an upper electronic dial 22) Next, with reference to Figure 2, the configuration of the mode button 21 and the upper electronic dial 22, which are operating members of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, will be described.

[0045] The power lever 20 will be described separately later. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the operating components, including the power lever 20, mode button 21, and upper electronic dial 22.

[0046] The mode button 21 is slidably held by the mode button support member 213, and a press can be detected when the tip of the mode button 21 presses against the metal dome switch 214 mounted on the first flexible substrate 215 located at the bottom.

[0047] An elastic sponge member 212 is provided between the mode button 21 and the upper electronic dial 22 in a compressed state, reducing the gap and preventing dust, debris, and water droplets from entering.

[0048] The mode button 21 is provided with a rotation-preventing shape 21a, which fits into a rotation-preventing groove 213a provided on the mode button support member 213.

[0049] This prevents the mode button 21 from rotating around its sliding axis due to the rotation of the upper electronic dial 22.

[0050] With the above configuration, the mode button 21 can detect when the user presses it and provide good operability. In addition, because the operating surface of the mode button 21 does not rotate, problems such as the characters or symbols printed on the operating surface being tilted, or the operating surface rotating and causing discomfort during operation, can be prevented.

[0051] The upper electronic dial 22 is held in place by a rotatable sliding fit between its shaft portion 22a and the dial fitting hole 202a of the base member 202.

[0052] A click cam sheet metal 224 and a phase sheet metal 225 are positioned at the lower part of the base member 202, i.e., inside the housing, and both are fixed to the lower surface of the shaft portion 22a of the upper electronic dial 22 by screw fastening.

[0053] The dial click ball 222 is biased by the dial click spring 223 so as to contact the cam surface of the click cam sheet metal 224.

[0054] When the user rotates the upper electronic dial 22, the fixed click cam sheet metal 224 also rotates in sync, and the peaks of the cam surface push back against the dial click ball 222, causing it to fall into the valleys, thereby providing a click sensation.

[0055] Two photointerrupters 226, mounted on the first flexible substrate 215, are positioned on the opposite surface of the phase sheet metal 225.

[0056] The photointerrupter 226 is a package component in which a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element are arranged facing each other, and it can detect when an obstruction passes between them.

[0057] In this configuration, the phase sheet metal 225, which acts as a shield, is provided with half of the shielding portions 225a of the peaks (troughs) of the click cam sheet metal 224. By detecting the two states of shielding and transmission each time the photointerrupter 226 passes through, the amount of rotation can be counted.

[0058] Furthermore, the two photointerrupters 226 are arranged in different phases, and by comparing the timing of detection of passage through the shielding portion 225a, the rotation direction of the upper electronic dial 22 can be detected.

[0059] With the above configuration, the upper electronic dial 22 can provide a click sensation in response to the user's rotational operation, and can detect how many clicks it has been rotated in which direction.

[0060] Furthermore, because the click count can be detected without contact, there is less risk of deterioration due to wear and tear or contact failure, resulting in high durability.

[0061] The first flexible circuit board 215, on which the metal dome switch 214 and photointerrupter 226 are mounted, and the second flexible circuit board 206, on which the 3-position switch 205, which is the detection unit for the power lever 20, is mounted, are supported by a resin cover component 207.

[0062] The cover component 207 is fixed to the base member 202 by screw fastening.

[0063] Furthermore, the cover component 207 also functions as a lid member that covers the lower surface of the base member 202, thereby holding the lever click ball 203, lever click spring 204, dial click ball 222, and dial click spring 223 in place to prevent them from falling out.

[0064] (Configuration of power lever 20) Next, the configuration of the power lever 20 will be explained with reference to Figures 3 to 5.

[0065] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the power lever 20 as a single component.

[0066] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the imaging device 100 with the power lever 20, mode button 21, and upper electronic dial 22 removed, showing the shape to which the operating components are attached.

[0067] Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the group of operating components, including the power lever 20, mode button 21, and upper electronic dial 22.

[0068] The power lever 20 is held by a rotatable sliding fitting between its mating surface 20a and the lever mating shaft 202b of the base member 202, and is positioned coaxially and below the upper electronic dial 22.

[0069] To facilitate user operation from the top of the imaging device 100, the control unit 20b (Figures 3 and 5(b)) is shaped to protrude above the mode button 21 and the upper electronic dial 22, making it easier to grip.

[0070] As shown in Figure 3, a click cam surface 20c and a phase detection leg 20d are provided at the bottom of the power lever 20, and an insertion opening 202c is provided at an opposing position on the base member 202 shown in Figure 4 to allow these to be inserted into the inside of the housing.

[0071] The insertion opening 202c is designed to have an opening that takes into account the range of motion so that the click cam surface 20c and phase detection leg 20d of the power lever 20 do not interfere with each other.

[0072] The insertion opening 202c is surrounded by a convex shape 202d for drip-proofing, and the details of its function will be described later.

[0073] Figure 5(b) is a cross-sectional view AA of the group of operating members shown in Figure 5(a).

[0074] A lever click ball 203 is positioned at the lower part of the base member 202 and is biased by a lever click spring 204 so as to contact a click cam surface 20c provided in the radial direction of the power lever 20.

[0075] When the user rotates the power lever 20, the click cam surface 20c rotates, and the peaks of the click cam surface 20c push back against the lever click ball 203, causing it to fall into the valleys, thereby providing a click sensation.

[0076] Although not shown in Figure 5(b), the phase detection leg 20d is also inserted into the housing and positioned so that it overlaps with the detection unit 205a of the 3-position switch 205 mounted on the second flexible circuit board 206.

[0077] (Phase and detection during operation of power lever 20) Next, referring to Figure 6, the phase and detection during operation of the power lever 20 will be explained.

[0078] Figures 6(a) to 6(c) are top views of the power lever 20 at each operating phase, and Figures 6(d) to 6(f) are bottom views showing the state of the click cam surface 20c and phase detection leg 20d at each operating phase of the power lever 20.

[0079] Normally, the bottom surface is covered by cover part 207, but for illustrative purposes, the image shows the state with cover part 207 removed.

[0080] Figure 6(a) shows the power lever 20 with its operating section 20b rotated to the leftmost position, representing the power-off state.

[0081] Figure 6(d) shows the internal state when the power is OFF, and the detection unit 205a of the 3-position switch 205 is tilted to the left in the figure by the phase detection leg 20d of the power lever 20.

[0082] Furthermore, the lever click ball 203 is biased by the lever click spring 204 at the valley on the right end of the click cam surface 20c.

[0083] This maintains the phase of the power lever 20, fixing it in place so that it does not move unintentionally when no operating force is applied.

[0084] Figure 6(b) shows the power lever 20 with its operating section 20b rotated 15° to the right, representing the LOCK state.

[0085] The LOCK state is a condition where the power is on but the device does not accept input from specific control components. This state is used to prevent accidental operation during shooting and to fix settings.

[0086] Figure 6(e) shows the internal state in the LOCK state, where the detection unit 205a of the 3-position switch 205 corresponds to the phase of the center of the phase detection leg 20d.

[0087] Similarly, the lever click ball 203 moves to the central groove of the click cam surface 20c and is held in place by the biasing force of the lever click spring 204.

[0088] Figure 6(c) shows the state after rotating the operating part 20b of the power lever 20 30° to the right from the state shown in Figure 6(a), representing the power ON state.

[0089] Unlike the LOCK state in Figure 6(b), this state is in which all operating components are functional.

[0090] Figure 6(f) shows the internal state in the ON state, where the detection unit 205a of the 3-position switch 205 is tilted to the right in the figure by the phase detection leg 20d of the power lever 20.

[0091] The lever click ball 203 moves to the valley at the left end of the click cam surface 20c and is held in place by the biasing force of the lever click spring 204.

[0092] The phase and internal state of the power lever 20 during operation have been explained above with reference to Figure 6. The power lever 20 can switch between three phases: OFF, LOCK, and ON, and the detection unit 205a of the 3-position switch 205 can be tilted accordingly to detect the phase.

[0093] (Gap relationship of power lever 20 and splash-proof function) Next, with reference to Figures 4, 5(d), and 7, the gap relationship and drip-proof function of the power lever 20, which is an operating member of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, will be described.

[0094] The surrounding shape of the power lever 20 will be described with reference to Figure 4.

[0095] The area around the power lever 20 is covered by a wall-shaped structure SS formed by the base member 202, and a notch K is provided on the back side where the wall-shaped structure SS has been removed.

[0096] The base member 202 that holds the group of operating members has two flow path surfaces, SH and SL, which serve as the water droplet discharge flow path surfaces, and the flow path surface SL is connected to the notch K.

[0097] As shown in Figure 7, the flow path surface SH, which is the range of motion of the power lever 20, is largely exposed to the outside.

[0098] For example, when raindrops fall, it is expected that a large amount of water will flow in from the channel surface SH, which has a large exposed area, and since it is set higher than the channel surface SL, the water will flow as shown by arrow F1 in Figure 4.

[0099] By creating a difference in height on the flow path surface and covering the surrounding area with a wall-shaped structure SS, a water flow can be created that leads to the notched section K, which serves as the outlet.

[0100] Next, with reference to Figure 5(d), the relationship between the power lever 20 and the surrounding shape will be explained. Figure 5(c) is a cross-sectional view of BB in Figure 5(a), and Figure 5(d) is an enlarged view of area C in Figure 5(c).

[0101] The power lever 20 forms a clearance L1 in the radial direction with the wall shape SS that surrounds its outer circumference.

[0102] Furthermore, the convex shape 202d of the base member 202 is provided to protrude higher than the flow path surface SL.

[0103] The power lever 20 has a shape that covers the convex shape 202d, and the outer circumferential surfaces of the power lever 20 and the convex shape 202d form a clearance L2 in the radial direction.

[0104] The clearance L2 is narrower than the clearance L1. For example, as shown in Figure 5(d), when liquid W flows in, the narrower clearance L2 provides greater resistance to water intrusion due to surface tension.

[0105] Located further inside than clearance L2, clearance L3, formed in the thrust direction by the power lever 20 and the upper surface of the convex shape 202d, is even narrower than clearance L2, creating a structure where resistance gradually increases. Therefore, the incoming liquid W does not enter the inside of the casing, but is more likely to flow into the gap between the power lever 20 and the wall shape SS.

[0106] Figure 7 shows a portion of the top surface of the imaging device 100, representing the water droplet discharge path around the power lever 20.

[0107] As mentioned above, it is assumed that a large amount of water droplets flow in from the flow channel surface SH, which has a large exposed area, and after flowing down to the flow channel surface SL, they pass between the power lever 20 and the wall shape SS and head towards the notched section K, which is the outlet.

[0108] At this time, the path F2 leading to the discharge and the operating direction F3 of the power lever 20 are in the same rotational direction, so even if the operation is performed with water droplets accumulated in the gap, the water pushed out by the power lever 20 will not go towards the insertion opening 202c of the base member 202, but will be discharged properly.

[0109] The drip-proof structure of the power lever 20 of the imaging device 100, which is an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, has been described above.

[0110] By providing a convex shape 202d around the insertion opening 202c of the base member 202, and by providing a wall shape SS surrounding the power lever 20 and a notch K which serves as an outlet, it is possible to prevent liquid from entering the housing.

[0111] Furthermore, instead of sealing by compression using elastic materials, the liquid intrusion is prevented by controlling the flow path, thus preserving the tactile feel of operation.

[0112] The features of the embodiments of the present invention described so far are summarized below.

[0113] The first invention will be explained using Figures 4, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 7.

[0128] The seventh invention will be explained using Figure 7.
