[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-139653 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The bracket is fixed to the inner surface of the housing member, for example, by an adhesive, and high adhesive strength is required to ensure the support strength of the hinge. However, since the housing of the electronic device as described above is required to be thin and small, it is often difficult to secure a sufficient adhesive space for the bracket on the housing member. In the case of the first housing described above as an example, it is desired to improve the appearance quality by narrowing the width of the bezel surrounding the periphery of the display panel as much as possible. Here, since the bracket is arranged on the back side of the bezel on the side of the display panel, it is difficult to expand the adhesive space.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the problems with the conventional technology described above, and aims to provide an electronic device and a housing member that are equipped with a housing member that can ensure the fixing strength of a bracket.

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an electronic device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment, seen from above. As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic device 10 according to the present embodiment is a clamshell-type notebook PC, in which a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 are connected by a hinge 14 so as to be relatively rotatable. In the present embodiment, the electronic device 10 is a notebook PC, but the electronic device may be, for example, a standalone display device, a tablet PC, a smartphone, a portable game machine, or the like, other than the notebook PC.

[0012] The second housing 12 is a flat box body and is adjacent to the first housing 11. Inside the second housing 12, various electronic components such as a motherboard equipped with a CPU, a battery device, a memory, an antenna device, etc. are housed. A keyboard 16 and a touch pad 17 face the top surface of the second housing 12.

[0013] The first housing 11 is a flat box that is thinner than the second housing 12. The first housing 11 is equipped with a display panel 18. Hereinafter, the first housing 11 and each component mounted thereon will be described with reference to the direction as seen by a user viewing a display surface 18a of the display panel 18, with the left-right direction referred to as the X1 and X2 directions, the up-down direction referred to as the Y1 and Y2 directions, and the depth direction referred to as the Z1 and Z2 directions. The X1 and X2 directions may be collectively referred to as the X direction, and the Y1, Y2 directions and the Z1, Z2 directions may be similarly referred to as the Y direction and the Z direction.

[0014] A display surface 18a of the display panel 18 faces the Z1 side surface (front surface 11a) of the first housing 11. The first housing 11 has a housing member 20 that forms the Z2 side surface (rear surface 11b) and a bezel member 22 that forms the peripheral edge of the front surface 11a. The top, bottom, left and right side surfaces of the first housing 11 are formed by upright walls 23 that stand up from the four peripheral edges of the housing member 20. The bezel member 22 is a frame-shaped thin plate that surrounds the outer peripheral edge of the display panel 18. The hinge 14 is connected to the Y2 side edge (one edge 20b) of the first housing 11 and is covered with a rod-shaped hinge cover 14d that extends in the X direction.

[0015] The display panel 18 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display panel 18 has a structure in which, for example, glass, a liquid crystal layer, a light guide plate, etc. are laminated and the outer peripheral edges of each layer are fixed to each other with double-sided tape, adhesive, etc. The display panel 18 is fixed to the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20 with double-sided adhesive tape, etc.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the first housing 11. FIG. 3 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the bracket 30 and its surroundings shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bracket 30 shown in FIG. 3 fixed to the housing member 20. FIG. 5 is a schematic end view along the line VV in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 omits illustration of the bezel member 22, and illustrates only the outer shape of the display panel 18 with a two-dot chain line. Thus, FIG. 2 illustrates the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20 (the surface behind the rear surface 11b) and each component installed on this inner surface 20a.

[0017] First, the configuration of the housing member 20 will be described.

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 to 5, housing member 20 of this embodiment has a rectangular plate portion 26 that forms most of the housing member 20 including the central portion, and a frame-shaped frame portion 27 that is joined to the outer periphery of plate portion 26.

[0019] The plate portion 26 is composed of, for example, a prepreg laminate, a resin plate, or a metal plate such as aluminum or titanium. The prepreg laminate is formed by laminating multiple layers of prepregs in which reinforcing fibers such as carbon resin are impregnated with a matrix resin (for example, a thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin or a thermoplastic resin), and, depending on the specifications, an intermediate material such as a foam is sandwiched between the prepreg layers. The plate portion 26 in this embodiment is a carbon fiber reinforced resin plate (CFRP plate) that uses carbon fibers as reinforcing fibers.

[0020] The frame portion 27 is formed by injection molding a resin material on the outer peripheral edge of the plate portion 26 and bonding it thereto. Examples of the resin material forming the frame portion 27 include polyethylene resin and polypropylene resin, and fiber-reinforced resin (e.g., GFRP) in which these resins contain reinforcing fibers such as glass fiber may also be used. The plate portion 26 formed of carbon fiber-reinforced resin is light and strong, but has problems in terms of workability in machining and shaping. Therefore, the housing member 20 has a frame portion 27 formed of a resin material around the plate portion 26, and various shapes such as the vertical wall 23 and the hole portion 38 described later are formed in the frame portion 27.

[0021] A laminated portion 28 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the housing member 20, including the one edge portion 20b, in which a frame portion 27 is laminated on an inner surface 26a of a plate portion 26. The laminated portion 28 is intended to increase the bonding strength of the frame portion 27 to the plate portion 26, and at the same time to provide a shape such as a protrusion or a recess due to the frame portion 27 on the edge of the inner surface 26a of the plate portion 26.

[0022] The housing member 20 of this embodiment has a dome-shaped curved surface 20c in which the center of the plate portion 26 is smoothly recessed from the periphery (see FIG. 5). The curved surface 20c is formed by bulging a part or all of the plate portion 26 toward the rear surface 11b side, thereby recessing the inner surface 20a into a dish shape. The plate portion 26 may not have the curved surface 20c, and may be entirely flat.

[0023] Next, the connection structure of the hinge 14 to the first housing 11 will be described.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 2 to 5, the hinge 14 is connected to one edge 20b of the housing member 20. A pair of left and right brackets 30, 30 are attached to the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20. One bracket 30 is disposed at a corner between the X1 side end and the Y2 side end of the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20, and extends along the one edge 20b. The other bracket 30 is disposed at a corner between the X2 side end and the Y2 side end of the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20, and extends along the one edge 20b.

[0025] The left and right brackets 30, 30 have a symmetrical structure and are substantially identical in basic configuration and function, and therefore the following description will not specify which bracket is the left or right bracket 30. The left and right brackets 30, 30 do not have to have a symmetrical structure.

[0026] Bracket 30 is a metal part formed by machining a metal plate made of stainless steel, aluminum, etc., into a predetermined shape. Bracket 30 is positioned with a predetermined positioning pin or the like relative to inner surface 27a of frame portion 27 forming laminated portion 28, and is fixed with adhesive 31 (see FIG. 5).

[0027] The bracket 30 has a base plate 30a, a fixing surface 30b, and a hinge fastening portion 30c.

[0028] The base plate 30a is the base of the bracket 30 and is a metal plate extending in the X direction along the edge 20b. The base plate 30a is formed, for example, in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and the width in the Y direction is significantly smaller than the width in the X direction. This allows the bracket 30 to contribute to narrowing the Y dimension of the bezel member 22 without expanding the space in the Y direction between the edge 20b and the side surface of the display panel 18 extending along it. A thin portion 30d that can be inserted into the back side of the display panel 18 is provided at the Y1 side edge of the base plate 30a. A corrugated shape 30e that is uneven in the Y direction toward the X direction is provided at the base of the thin portion 30d. The corrugated shape 30e is intended to avoid stress concentration at the base of the thin portion 30d, where the thickness changes.

[0029] The fixing surface 30b is the Z2 side surface of the base plate 30a including the thin portion 30d. The fixing surface 30b is fixed over its entirety to the inner surface 20a of the housing member 20 with an adhesive 31 (see FIG. 5). The bracket 30 of this embodiment is fixed to the frame portion 27 that forms the laminated portion 28. Therefore, the fixing surface 30b is adhesively fixed to the inner surface 27a of the frame portion 27.

[0030] The hinge fastening portions 30c are cylindrical portions (bosses) that stand in the Z1 direction from the Z1 side surface (surface 30a1) of the base plate 30a, and, for example, three of them are lined up in approximately the X direction. A screw hole 32 is formed in each hinge fastening portion 30c. A female thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the screw hole 32, and the axial direction of the screw hole 32 is the Z direction. A screw 34 is screwed into the screw hole 32. This allows the hinge fastening portion 30c to fasten the hinge 14 (connecting plate 14a) with the screw 34.

[0031] 5, the screw holes 32 open toward the surface 30a1 side of the base plate 30a, that is, toward the Z1 side opposite the fixing surface 30b. The screw holes 32 do not open toward the fixing surface 30b, and their bottoms are closed by a cover plate 36a. The cover plate 36a is a part of the metal member that forms the bracket 30, and its outer surface forms part of the fixing surface 30b.

[0032] The bracket 30 has a protrusion 36 that positions the cover plate 36a at a position protruding in the Z2 direction from the surrounding fixing surface 30b. The protrusion 36 is provided on the back side of each hinge fastening portion 30c. The protrusion 36 protrudes the hinge fastening portion 30c toward the fixing surface 30b side, and expands the depth of the screw hole 32. This allows the screw hole 32 to ensure a sufficient engagement length of the screw 34, and improves the fastening strength of the hinge 14. On the other hand, the protrusion 36 is provided only on the back side of the hinge fastening portion 30c, and the entire base plate 30a is not thickened, so the increase in thickness of the bracket 30 is limited to only a part. Note that the protrusion 36 forms part of the fixing surface 30b not only on the outer surface of the cover plate 36a but also on the outer peripheral surface 36b.

[0033] For example, in a configuration in which there are few restrictions on the thickness of the base plate 30a or the protruding length of the hinge fastening portion 30c in the Z1 direction and the depth of the screw hole 32 can be sufficiently ensured, the protruding portion 36 may be omitted. In this case, the cover plate 36a may be formed flush or approximately flush with the surrounding fixing surface 30b.

[0034] As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the laminated portion 28 has holes 38. The holes 38 penetrate the frame portion 27 forming the laminated portion 28, exposing the inner surface 26a of the plate portion 26. In other words, the holes 38 are through holes formed in the frame portion 27 in the plate thickness direction, and the Z2 side openings are blocked by the plate portion 26. The holes 38 are provided at positions where the protrusions 36 of the bracket 30 are inserted and overlap with the protrusions 36. In other words, the holes 38 form escape portions for the protrusions 36 of the bracket 30 while avoiding an increase in the plate thickness of the housing member 20 near the one edge portion 20b.

[0035] Therefore, with the protrusion 36 inserted into the hole 38, the cover plate 36a is fixed to the inner surface 26a of the plate portion 26 that forms the bottom surface of the hole 38 by the adhesive 31. At the same time, with the protrusion 36 inserted into the hole 38, the outer peripheral surface 36b of the protrusion 36 is also fixed to the frame portion 27 that forms the inner peripheral surface 38a of the hole 38. In this way, the hole 38 not only functions as a runout for the protrusion 36, but also has the function of expanding the bonding area of ​​the bracket 30 and increasing the bonding strength to the housing member 20.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the hinge 14 includes two connecting plates 14a and 14b, a shaft 14c, and a hinge cover 14d.

[0037] The connecting plate 14a is a metal plate connected to the first housing 11 (housing member 20). The connecting plate 14a is provided with through holes 14a1 into which the hinge fastening parts 30c are fitted, and is fastened to the bracket 30 by screws 34. The connecting plate 14b is a metal plate connected to the second housing 12. The shaft 14c is a metal shaft that serves as the rotation axis of the hinge 14, and supports the connecting plates 14a and 14b so that they can rotate relatively. Reference symbol 14e in FIG. 2 is a torque generating part that gives a predetermined rotation torque to the rotation of the shaft 14c. In FIG. 2, the hinge 14 on the X1 side is shown in a state where it is fixed to the bracket 30, and the hinge 14 on the X2 side is shown in an exploded view before being fixed to the bracket 30.

[0038] 5, the connecting plate 14a and a part of the shaft 14c are housed in a hinge cover 14d attached to one edge portion 20b. A rotational torque is applied to the shaft 14c from a torque generating unit 14e, and a predetermined rotational torque is applied to the rotational movement between the connecting plates 14a and 14b, that is, the rotational movement between the housings 11 and 12.

[0039] Here, a description will be given of the operation of attaching the bracket 30 and the hinge 14 to the housing member 20. Fig. 6 is an exploded view showing the operation of fixing the bracket 30 to the housing member 20 shown in Fig. 5 and further fastening the hinge 14.

[0040] 6, when fixing the bracket 30 to the housing member 20, adhesive 31 is applied to the inner surface 27a of the laminated portion 28 to which the fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30 is fixed, and to the bottom surface (inner surface 26a) and inner peripheral surface 38a of the hole portion 38. The adhesive 31 may be applied to the fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30, including the cover plate 36a and the outer peripheral surface 36b.

[0041] Next, the fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30 is positioned at a desired position and fixed to the inner surface 27a of the laminated portion 28 with adhesive 31. At this time, the protruding portion 36 is inserted into the hole portion 38, and the cover plate 36a and the outer peripheral surface 36b are fixed to the bottom surface (inner surface 26a) and inner peripheral surface 38a of the hole portion 38 with adhesive 31. As a result, the fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30 is fixed to the housing member 20.

[0042] Next, when attaching the hinge 14 to the bracket 30, the hinge fastening portion 30c is fitted into the through hole 14a1 of the connecting plate 14a, and the two are fastened together with a screw 34. In this way, the hinge 14 is connected to the housing member 20 via the bracket 30.

[0043] As described above, the electronic device 10 of the present embodiment includes a housing member 20 having a plate portion 26 and a frame portion 27 joined to an edge portion of the plate portion 26, and a bracket having a fixing surface 30b fixed to an inner surface 20a of the housing member 20, and a hinge fastening portion 30c to which a hinge 14 is fastened, the hinge fastening portion 30c being provided with a screw hole 32 whose bottom portion is closed by a cover plate 36a forming a part of the fixing surface 30b. The housing member 20 has a laminated portion 28 in which the frame portion 27 is laminated on the inner surface 26a of the plate portion 26. The laminated portion 28 is provided with a hole portion 38 that penetrates the frame portion 27 and exposes the plate portion 26. The fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30 is fixed to the frame portion 27 forming the laminated portion 28 by an adhesive 31, and the cover plate 36a is fixed to the plate portion 26 and the frame portion 27 by the adhesive 31 filled in the hole portion 38.

[0044] Therefore, the bracket 30 can fix the fixing surface 30b having a large area, including the cover plate 36a that covers the bottom of the screw hole 32 provided in the hinge fastening portion 30c, to the housing member 20. At this time, the surface of the cover plate 36a that forms part of the fixing surface 30b is fixed simultaneously with the plate portion 26 and the frame portion 27 by the adhesive 31 filled in the hole portion 38. Therefore, the adhesive area of ​​the adhesive 31 with respect to the housing member 20 increases at least by the surface area expanded by the hole portion 38.

[0045] As a result, the electronic device 10 can increase the adhesive strength of the bracket 30 without increasing the adhesive space of the bracket 30 by thickening the housing member 20 or widening the bezel member 22. In particular, the bracket 30 can directly adhere the cover plate 36a to the plate portion 26 made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, which has higher strength than the frame portion 27 made of resin. This further improves the adhesive strength and stability of the bracket 30, and improves the stability during the rotational movement between the housings 11 and 12 by the hinge 14 connected to the bracket 30. This makes it possible to suppress the separation of the bracket 30 even if the housings 11 and 12 are subjected to a load that exceeds the limit angle of the rotation range in the opening direction (for example, a state in which the faces of the housings 11 and 12 are aligned in a 180-degree direction), that is, a so-called snap load.

[0046] In the electronic device 10, the bracket 30 has a protrusion 36 that expands the depth of the screw hole 32 by arranging the cover plate 36a at a position that protrudes toward the Z2 side from the fixing surface 30b around it. Then, the protrusion 36 is fixed to the plate part 26 that forms the bottom surface of the hole 38 and the frame part 27 that forms the inner peripheral surface 38a of the hole 38 with the adhesive 31 while being inserted into the hole 38. As a result, the surface area of ​​the fixing surface 30b of the bracket 30 is further increased by the protrusion 36, and the adhesive strength to the housing member 20 is further improved. In addition, the depth of the screw hole 32 of the bracket 30 is expanded by the protrusion 36, and the fitting length of the screw 34 is increased. As a result, the electronic device 10 can also improve the fastening strength of the hinge 14 to the bracket 30.

[0047] In this way, since the housing member 20 has the hole 38 into which the protrusion 36 of the bracket 30 is inserted, the height of the protrusion 36 can be absorbed without increasing the thickness thereof, and the thickness of the first housing 11 is not hindered. Moreover, since the hole 38 is filled with the adhesive 31 and fixed to the protrusion 36, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the strength of the housing member 20 due to the hole 38.

[0048] Here, let us consider a configuration (comparative example) that can ensure the thinning of the housing member 20 and the fastening strength of the screw 34 at the bracket 30 without providing the hole 38 in the housing member 20. In this comparative example, since there is no hole 38, it is necessary to enlarge only the depth of the screw hole 32 without providing the protrusion 36 on the bracket 30. Therefore, in the comparative example, the screw hole 32 is made a through hole for the bracket 30, and in order to prevent the adhesive 31 from penetrating into the screw hole 32, it is considered to seal the bottom of the screw hole 32 with a thin resin seal tape or the like. However, in such a configuration, the cost of the parts of the seal tape and the cost of attaching the seal tape increase. Furthermore, although the seal tape can be firmly fixed to the housing member 20 by the adhesive 31, the adhesive strength of the seal tape itself is the only one that the seal tape has for the bracket 30. For this reason, the seal tape is easily peeled off from the bracket 30, which is a factor in reducing the adhesive strength between the housing member 20 and the bracket 30. In other words, the seal tape forms a blank area between the bracket 30 and the housing member 20 where the adhesive 31 is not provided.

[0049] In this regard, the electronic device 10 of this embodiment has the advantage that the screw holes 32 are covered by a cover plate 36a formed integrally with the base plate 30a of the bracket 30, thereby avoiding the decrease in adhesive strength as in the comparative example described above.

[0050] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can of course be freely modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
