[0009] [Implementation method 1] Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following, the electronic device according to the present invention is a cordless telephone 1, the charging device according to the present invention is a base unit 10, and a cordless portable device is a handset 20.

[0010] Here, a telephone in which a base unit and a wireless receiver or a handset are wirelessly connected is called a cordless telephone. In addition, a cordless receiver having a handset function for receiving or sending calls is called a handset handset. The handset handset operates using power stored in an internal battery and can be placed on the base unit for charging.

[0011] The present invention is not limited to the example of a cordless telephone, but can also be applied to other electronic devices having a cordless portable device and a charging device for charging the portable device. For example, the present invention can also be applied to electronic devices including a charger such as a remote controller, a camera, a radio device (transceiver), a mobile phone, and a mobile router connected to a charger.

[0012] <Configuration of Cordless Telephone 1> Reference Figures 1 to 5 , the structure of the cordless telephone 1 (electronic device) according to the first embodiment is described. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the appearance of the cordless telephone 1. Figure 2 It is its side view. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing another example of the appearance of the cordless telephone 1. Figure 4 It is its side view. Figure 5 The diagram shows a base unit 10 (charging device) and a handset 20 (portable device) of a cordless telephone 1.

[0013] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cordless telephone 1 includes a base unit 10 and a handset 20. The base unit 10 includes a handset accommodating portion 13 (portable device accommodating portion) for charging the handset 20 described later, and the handset 20 includes an operating portion 22.

[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in FIG. 1 , the cordless telephone 1 can place the handset 20 on the base unit 10 in a state where the operation unit 22 of the handset 20 faces the handset storage unit 13 (hereinafter referred to as a “first state”). Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the cordless telephone 1, the handset 20 can be placed on the base unit 10 even in a state where the operation unit 22 of the handset 20 faces the side opposite to the handset housing 13 side (hereinafter referred to as the "second state").

[0015] <Configuration of the Master Machine 10> like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the main unit 10 includes a display unit 11 , an operation unit 12 , and a subunit accommodating unit 13 .

[0016] The display unit 11 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays various information.

[0017] The operation unit 12 receives user operations such as making and answering calls, ending calls, and registering phone numbers. The operation unit 12 is composed of physical keys and buttons arranged on the surface of the housing of the base unit 10 .

[0018] like Figure 5 As shown, the handset storage part 13 is a recessed part for placing the handset 20, and includes a pair of base unit side charging terminals 14 (second charging part), a pair of receiving parts 15, a side peripheral surface 131 (inner wall surface) and a bottom surface 132. The base unit side charging terminals 14 and the receiving parts 15 are arranged on the side peripheral surface 131 of the handset storage part 13.

[0019] When charging the handset 20, the base unit charging terminal 14 contacts the handset charging terminal 24 (first charging unit) to be described later and is electrically connected to the handset charging terminal 24. The base unit charging terminal 14 and the handset charging terminal 24 contact each other, so that the handset 20 is charged.

[0020] The receiving portion 15 is a portion on which an operating side surface 201 near a handset side charging terminal 24 described later is placed when the handset 20 is placed in the handset storage portion 13 in the first state. On the other hand, when the handset 20 is placed in the second state, a back surface 202 near the handset side charging terminal 24 is placed on the bottom surface 132 of the handset storage portion 13.

[0021] The receiver 15 restricts the position of the handset 20 so that the handset side charging terminal 24 and the base side charging terminal 14 are in contact with each other when the handset 20 is placed in the first state or the second state, as described in detail later. Thus, even if the handset 20 is placed in either the first state or the second state, the handset 20 can be charged, which can improve the convenience of the user.

[0022] Here, although the example of the terminal connection method is described as a method of charging the handset, the method is not limited to this, and for example, an electromagnetic induction method may be used.

[0023] (Configuration of handset 20) like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the handset 20 includes a display unit 21 , an operation unit 22 , the operation-side surface 201 , a back surface 202 , and a pair of handset-side charging terminals 24 .

[0024] The display unit 21 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays various information. The operation unit 22 receives user operations such as making a call, answering a call, ending a call, and registering a phone number. The operation unit 22 is composed of physical keys and buttons arranged on the housing surface of the handset 20.

[0025] The operation side surface 201 is a surface on the side where the operation unit 22 is arranged, and the back surface 202 is a surface on the side opposite to the surface on the side where the operation unit 22 is arranged. As described above, when the handset 20 is placed in the first state, the operation side surface 201 near the handset side charging terminal 24 is placed on the receiving portion 15, and when placed in the second state, the back surface 202 near the handset side charging terminal 24 is placed on the bottom surface 132 of the handset accommodating portion 13.

[0026] Slave side charging terminal 24 (refer to Figure 5 ) When charging the handset 20, the handset contacts the base unit charging terminal 14 and is electrically connected to the base unit charging terminal 14. The base unit charging terminal 14 and the handset charging terminal 24 are in contact with each other, so that the handset 20 is charged.

[0027] Alternatively, handset 20 may be a normal cordless handset that does not have a handset function for receiving or transmitting calls.

[0028] (Location of the charging terminal 24 on the slave side) Next, the position where the slave-side charging terminal 24 is arranged will be described in detail. Figure 6 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining the position of the slave-side charging terminal 24. Figure 6 The figure shown in the reference numeral 6A is a figure showing the receiver 20 in the first state. Figure 6 The figure shown by the reference numeral 6B is a figure mounted in the second state.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown in the reference numeral 6A, in the first state, the height distance from the reference plane L1 in contact with the operating side surface 201 of the handset 20 to the center line L2a of the handset side charging terminal 24 is H1. Figure 6As shown in the reference numeral 6B, in the second state, the distance in the height direction from the reference plane L1 in contact with the back surface 202 of the handset 20 to the center line L2b of the handset side charging terminal 24 is H2. H1 and H2 are different, and H2 is greater than H1 (H2). That is, in the first state and the second state, the position in the height direction of the handset side charging terminal 24 is different, and the second state is a position higher than the first state. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and the position in the height direction of the handset side charging terminal 24 may be higher in the first state than in the second state.

[0030] Assuming that the receiving portion 15 is not provided, the height direction position of the slave-side charging terminal 24 is different in the first state and the second state. Therefore, when the main unit-side charging terminal 14 is arranged at a position in contact with the slave-side charging terminal 24 in the first state, the position of the main unit-side charging terminal 14 deviates from the position of the slave-side charging terminal 24 in the second state. In addition, when the main unit-side charging terminal 14 is arranged at a position in contact with the slave-side charging terminal 24 in the second state, the position of the main unit-side charging terminal 14 of the receiver slave-side deviates from the position of the slave-side charging terminal 24 in the first state.

[0031] In order to eliminate such positional deviation, which will be described in detail later, when the handset 20 is placed in the first state, the handset 20 is placed on the placement portion 15 instead of being placed on the bottom surface 132 of the handset accommodating portion 13 as in the second state. As a result, the height direction position of the handset side charging terminal 24 in the first state can be made substantially the same as the position of the handset side charging terminal 24 in the second state.

[0032] (Configuration of the receiving portion 15) As described above, in either the case where the handset 20 is placed in the first state or in the second state, the receiving portion 15 restricts the position of the handset 20 so that the handset-side charging terminal 24 and the base-side charging terminal 14 are in a positional relationship where they can be electrically connected to each other.

[0033] Below, refer to Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 10 , the structure of the receiving portion 15 of embodiment 1 is described in detail. Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the receiving portion 15 provided on the mother machine 10. Figure 8 is Figure 5 The cross-sectional view of the mother machine 10 cut along the section line VIII-VIII shown, Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the receiving portion 15, Fig.10 It is a cross-sectional view of the receiving portion 15 as seen from an oblique direction.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, a pair of receiving parts 15 are arranged on the side circumference 131 of the sub-machine accommodating part 13. Specifically, a pair of receiving parts 15a and 15b are arranged at positions opposite to each other. In addition, the receiving part 15 is not limited to this. For example, the receiving part 15a and the receiving part 15b can also extend on the side of the charging terminal 14 of the main machine and be connected to each other to form a continuous U-shaped receiving part 15.

[0035] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the receiving portion 15 includes a placement surface 151 on which the handset 20 is placed, and a base portion 152 extending from the placement surface 151 toward the bottom surface 132 of the handset housing portion 13 .

[0036] The placement surface 151 is formed as an inclined surface 153 extending in the longitudinal direction of the handset storage portion 13 and descending toward the charging terminal 14 side of the base unit. In the first state, the handset 20 is placed on the inclined surface 153 in a state where the operating side surface 201 is in point contact with the inclined surface 153. Specifically, the short side ends 201a and 201b of the operating side surface 201 of the handset 20 (see Figure 5 ) are respectively placed on the inclined surfaces 153 of the receiving parts 15a and 15b in point contact.

[0037] The ends 201a and 201b of the handset 20 and the inclined surface 153 of the receiving portion 15 are formed in a gentle arc shape, and when the ends 201a and 201b of the handset 20 are placed on the inclined surface 153, the surfaces are formed smooth so that the friction coefficient is small.

[0038] Thus, even if the handset 20 is not correctly placed at the prescribed position, the weight of the handset 20 causes the handset 20 to slide down the inclined surface 153, and the main unit charging terminal 14 contacts the handset charging terminal 24. Thus, when the handset 20 is placed in the first state, the receiving portion 15 guides the handset 20 so that the handset charging terminal 24 of the handset 20 contacts the main unit charging terminal 14.

[0039] (Positional Relationship between Receiver 15 and Handset 20) Next, the positional relationship between the receiving portion 15 and the handset 20 will be described in detail. Fig.11 1 and 2 are diagrams showing the positional relationship between the receiving portion 15 and the handset 20. Fig.11 The figure shown by the reference numeral 110A is a figure showing that the handset 20 is placed in the handset accommodating portion 13 in the first state. Fig.11 The figure indicated by reference numeral 110B is a figure mounted in the second state.

[0040] like Fig.11As shown in the reference numeral 110A, when the handset 20 is placed in the first state, the receiving portion 15 abuts against the handset 20 and places the handset 20. Fig.11 As shown in reference numeral 110B, when the handset 20 is placed in the second state, the receiving portion 15 does not abut against the handset 20.

[0041] The operation side surface 201 and the back surface 202 of the handset 20 are formed in an arc shape, and the curvature radius of the operation side surface 201 is formed to be larger than the curvature radius of the back surface 202. In the first state where the operation side surface 201 faces the handset accommodating portion 13, the lateral width of the handset 20 is longer than the width W between the vertices Pa and Pb at the positions of the vertices Pa and Pb of the receiving portions 15a and 15b. Therefore, the two end portions 201a and 201b of the handset 20 abut against the mounting surface 151 of the receiving portion 15, and the handset 20 is mounted on the receiving portion 15.

[0042] On the other hand, in the second state where the back surface 202 faces the handset accommodating portion 13, the lateral width of the handset 20 at the positions of the vertices Pa and Pb is shorter than the width W. Therefore, the back surface 202 of the handset 20 is placed on the bottom surface 132 of the handset accommodating portion 13 in a manner that the handset 20 does not abut against the receiving portion 15.

[0043] Thus, even when the handset 20 is placed in either the first state or the second state, the handset-side charging terminal 24 is positioned substantially at the same height direction, and can be brought into contact with the base-side charging terminal 14 .

[0044] (Position of receiving portion 15) Next, refer again to Fig. 9 The position where the receiving portion 15 is provided will be described in detail.

[0045] like Fig. 9 As shown, the receiving portion 15 is provided at a position protruding from the sub-unit accommodating portion 13 and away from the bottom surface 132 of the sub-unit accommodating portion 13. Specifically, the receiving portion 15 is provided on the side circumferential surface 131 of the sub-unit accommodating portion 13, and a vertex P is arranged at a position L4 away from a position L3 of the bottom surface 132 of the sub-unit accommodating portion 13 by a distance H3 in the height direction. The height direction distance H3 is not particularly limited as long as it is a length that can be inserted with a cotton swab, a user's finger, etc.

[0046] Here, the handset storage portion 13 is formed in a concave shape so as to be able to store the handset 20, so that garbage and dust are easily accumulated on the bottom surface 132. Assuming that the receiving portion 15 is in a flat plate shape and is erected substantially vertically from the bottom surface 132 of the handset storage portion 13, the connection portion between the receiving portion 15 and the bottom surface 132 forms a substantially 90-degree angle. In this way, garbage and dust are easily accumulated at the corner between the receiving portion 15 and the bottom surface 132, and cleaning becomes difficult.

[0047] However, the receiving portion 15 of the present embodiment is not connected to the bottom surface 132 but is disposed at a position separated from the bottom surface 132. Therefore, even if garbage or dust accumulates, fingers or the like can be placed between the receiving portion 15 and the bottom surface 132 to easily remove the garbage or dust.

[0048] In addition, if Fig. 9 As shown, the inner wall of the sub-unit storage part 13 is formed by a gently curved surface between at least the receiving part 15 and the bottom surface 132 of the sub-unit storage part 13. As a result, there are no corners or corners where garbage and dust are easily accumulated on the inner wall of the sub-unit storage part 13, and even if garbage and dust are accumulated, the garbage can be easily removed.

[0049] In addition, the receiving portion 15 itself may be formed of a gently curved surface as a whole so that dirt and dust are difficult to adhere to and can be easily removed.

[0050] As described above, the cordless telephone 1 has a structure in which dirt and dust are difficult to accumulate and can be easily removed, so it is hygienic and aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] [Implementation method 2] Other embodiments of the present invention are described below. In addition, for the sake of convenience, components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiments are marked with the same reference numerals and will not be described again. In addition, the same is true for the cases after Embodiment 2.

[0052] Fig.12 1 is a diagram showing a receiving portion 15C according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig.12 As shown, the receiving portion 15C of the second embodiment is different from the receiving portion 15 of the first embodiment in that a placement surface 151C and a side peripheral surface 131C of the subunit accommodating portion 13 are smoothly connected.

[0053] Specifically, the placement surface 151C extends from the top PC of the receiving portion 15C and is continuously formed so as to be integrated with the side peripheral surface 131C. The placement surface 151C can place the handset 20 thereon, similarly to the placement surface 151 of the first embodiment.

[0054] Thus, dirt and dust are less likely to accumulate between the placement surface 151C and the side peripheral surface 131C and can be easily removed.

[0055] [Implementation method 3] Fig.13 1 is a diagram showing a receiving portion 15D according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Fig.13 As shown, the receiving portion 15D of the third embodiment is different from the receiving portion 15 of the first embodiment in that a carrier base 151D and a side peripheral surface 131D of the subunit accommodating portion 13 are smoothly connected.

[0056] Specifically, the base portion 152D extends from the apex PD of the receiving portion 15D, and is continuously formed so as to be integrated with the side peripheral surface 131D.

[0057] Thus, dirt and dust are less likely to accumulate between the base portion 152D and the side peripheral surface 131D and can be easily removed.

[0058] Furthermore, the placement surface 151D of the receiving portion 15D may be configured to be smoothly connected to the side peripheral surface 131D.
