[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-114298 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] By supporting the electronic unit slidably with a rail member or the like in the insertion portion of the housing of the electronic device, the electronic unit can be inserted by positioning it at a predetermined position in the insertion portion.

[0005] However, if there is an obstacle such as a protrusion inside the insertion section, a clearance is provided between the electronic unit and the obstacle to prevent the electronic unit from interfering with the obstacle. This clearance reduces the height of the electronic unit, which places restrictions on the number and size of components that can be mounted on the electronic unit.

[0006] One aspect of the technology disclosed in this application is to enable an electronic unit to be inserted into a predetermined position in an insertion section without reducing the size of the electronic unit, even if an obstacle is present inside the insertion section. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The technology disclosed in the present application includes a lever rotatably attached to an insertion section into which an electronic unit is inserted, a movable rail that supports the electronic unit within the insertion section so that the electronic unit can slide in the insertion direction, and a guide member that guides the movable rail so that it can move up and down relative to the insertion section.Furthermore, the technology includes a first pin that is provided on the lever and moves toward the back of the insertion section to rotate the lever, and a second pin that is provided on the lever and pushes up the movable rail in response to the rotation. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] With the technology disclosed in the present application, even if there is an obstacle inside the insertion section, the electronic unit can be inserted into a predetermined position in the insertion section without reducing the size of the electronic unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An electronic device housing 12 according to a first embodiment and an electronic device 10 equipped with this electronic device housing will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0011] FIG. 1 shows an electronic device 10 of a first embodiment. The electronic device 10 has an electronic device housing 12 and an electronic unit 14. The width, depth, and height directions of the electronic device housing 12 are indicated by arrows W, D, and H, respectively. The width direction of the electronic device housing 12 is also the left-right direction of the electronic device housing 12. Furthermore, within the depth direction of the electronic device housing 12, the direction toward the back is the direction in which the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the electronic device housing 12, and the direction toward the front is the direction in which the electronic unit 14 is removed from the electronic device housing 12. The insertion direction of the electronic unit 14 is indicated by arrow P1, and the removal direction is indicated by arrow P2.

[0012] The electronic device housing 12 has a top plate 16, a bottom plate 18, and a pair of left and right side plates 20. A plurality of partition walls 22 are provided in the middle portion in the width direction, parallel to the side plates 20. The top plate 16, the bottom plate 18, and the two partition walls 22 form an insertion section 24. The electronic unit 14 is inserted into and removed from the insertion section 24. In the insertion section 24, one or more protrusions 72 protrude upward from the bottom plate 18.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, a lever 26 and a movable rail 28 are provided on the surfaces of the two partition walls 22 facing each other. As also shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lever 26 is rotatably supported on the partition wall 22 by a rotation shaft 30. In this embodiment, the lever 26 is a rod-shaped member having one end rotatably supported by the rotation shaft 30 and the other end (lower end 26B) extending downward from the rotation shaft 30 (center of rotation). The axial direction of the rotation shaft 30 coincides with the width direction (direction of arrow W) of the electronic device housing 12, and the center line CL of the rotation center of the lever 26 is aligned with the width direction. When the lever 26 rotates, the lower end 26B of the lever 26 moves in the depth direction (direction of arrow R1) and the opposite direction (direction of arrow R2).

[0014] The lever 26 is provided with a first pin 32 and a second pin 34. In this embodiment, the first pin 32 is located near the lower end 26B of the lever 26. The second pin 34 is located on a radial line DL connecting the center line of rotation CL and the first pin 32, and is located closer to the rotation axis 30 than the first pin 32. As shown in FIG. 4 , in one lever 26, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 protrude from the lever 26 in the same direction, specifically, to the left or right in FIG. 4 . As will be described later, the first pin 32 is located at a height position where it comes into contact with a contact portion 54 of the electronic unit 14 when the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24. The first pin 32 and the second pin 34 may be formed as separate members fixed to the lever 26 by adhesive or the like. However, if the lever 26 is formed from, for example, a metal plate, they may be formed by cutting and raising a portion of the plate. Furthermore, when the lever 26 is made of resin, the lever 26, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 may be integrally molded.

[0015] The movable rail 28 is attached to the partition wall 22 by a guide member 36. The guide member 36 supports the movable rail 28 so that it can move up and down relative to the insertion section 24. A plurality of guide members 36, three in this embodiment, are provided for one partition wall 22. These guide members 36 are arranged at intervals in the depth direction and the up-down direction.

[0016] Each guide member 36 includes a storage pin 38 and an elongated hole 40. The storage pin 38 protrudes from the partition wall 22 toward the movable rail 28. The storage pin 38 is fixed to the partition wall 22 and is immovable in the up-down and depth directions. The elongated hole 40 penetrates the movable rail 28 with the up-down direction as its longitudinal direction. The storage pin 38 is received in the elongated hole 40. The movable rail 28 is movable in the up-down direction within the range of the elongated hole 40.

[0017] Of the multiple guide members 36, the guide member 36 located at the farthest end in the insertion direction is referred to as guide member 36D. In this guide member 36D, a large diameter portion 38D is provided at the tip of the receiving pin 38, and a large diameter hole 40D is formed at the lower end of the elongated hole 40. The large diameter hole 40D has a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion 38D, and the receiving pin 38 can be received in the elongated hole 40 by inserting the large diameter portion 38D into the large diameter hole 40D. When the movable rail 28 has moved downward, the large diameter portion 38D of the receiving pin 38 prevents the movable rail 28 from coming off the receiving pin 38.

[0018] 4, the receiving pin 38, which is located on the upper and near side in the insertion direction, is coaxial with the rotating shaft 30. A spring 42 is stretched between the rotating shaft 30 and the movable rail 28, and the spring 42 applies a downward force to the movable rail 28.

[0019] A support plate 44 is formed on the lower part of the movable rail 28. The support plate 44 is a plate-like portion that supports the electronic unit 14. That is, the electronic unit 14 is inserted into and removed from the insertion section 24 by sliding it in the depth direction while supported by the support plate 44. The upper surface of the support plate 44 is in surface contact with the bottom plate 62 of the electronic unit 14. This "surface contact" includes contact over a continuous range that extends in the depth and width directions, as well as contact at multiple points or lines that is essentially equivalent to surface contact.

[0020] The vertical middle portion of the movable rail 28 is cut out from the front side to the back side. A facing plate 46 is formed on the upper side of this cutout portion. The facing plate 46 faces the electronic unit 14 (specifically, the contact portion 54 described later) from above, with a small gap, as it is being inserted into the insertion portion 24.

[0021] A contact edge 48 is formed on the front side of the opposing plate 46. The second pin 34 is in contact with the contact edge 48 from below. As shown in FIG. 7, when the lever 26 rotates in the direction of arrow R1 and the second pin 34 moves in an arc-shaped trajectory toward the rear and upward, the movable rail 28 moves upward within the range of the elongated hole 40, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3. The movable rail 28 is raised to a height that ensures that the electronic unit 14 does not come into contact with the protrusion 72 when the electronic unit 14 is accommodated in the accommodation section.

[0022] 2, the electronic unit 14 has side walls 52 on both sides in the width direction. A contact portion 54 and a contact-releasing portion 56 are provided on the upper edge of the side wall 52. The contact portion 54 is located on the far side in the depth direction, and the contact-releasing portion 56 is located on the near side in the depth direction. The contact-releasing portion 56 is located lower than the contact portion 54.

[0023] The contact portion 54 is a portion that comes into contact with the first pin 32 from below and rotates the lever 26 in the direction of arrow R1 when the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24. The contact by the contact portion 54 maintains the first pin 32 in a state in which it is raised diagonally toward the rear. The contact release portion 56 is a portion that releases contact with the first pin 32 when the electronic unit 14 is further inserted into the insertion portion 24. The contact release by the contact release portion 56 rotates the lever 26 in the direction of arrow R2, and the first pin 32 is maintained in a lowered state.

[0024] The side wall 52 of the electronic unit 14 is further provided with a first inclined portion 58 and a second inclined portion 60. The first inclined portion 58 is located further back in the insertion direction than the contact portion 54. The first inclined portion 58 rises obliquely from the back side to the front side and is connected to the contact portion 54.

[0025] The first inclined portion 58 is the portion that first comes into contact with the first pin 32 when the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24. The first inclined portion 58 rises obliquely from the back side to the front side, so that the first pin 32 can be gradually raised as the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24.

[0026] The second inclined portion 60 slopes downward obliquely toward the front side between the contact portion 54 and the contact releasing portion 56, and is connected to the contact portion 54 and the contact releasing portion 56. Because the second pin 34 slopes downward obliquely from the back side toward the front side, it is possible to gradually lower the first pin 32 as the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24.

[0027] A through-hole 64 is formed in the bottom plate 62 of the electronic unit 14. As shown in Figures 4 and 8, the protrusion 72 is accommodated in the through-hole 64 from below when the electronic unit 14 is inserted to a predetermined position in the insertion section 24. In other words, even if the bottom plate 62 is positioned below the upper end of the protrusion 72, interference between the protrusion 72 and the bottom plate 62 is avoided. The bottom plate 62 of the electronic unit 14 is, for example, a metal plate that forms part of the housing of the electronic unit 14.

[0028] Inside the electronic unit 14, a substrate 66 is supported on the upper side of the bottom plate 62. A connector 68 is attached to the substrate 66. Meanwhile, a connector 70 (see FIG. 8 ) to which the connector 68 is connected is attached to the electronic device housing 12. When the electronic unit 14 is inserted into a predetermined position in the insertion portion 24, the connector 68 is electrically connected to the connector 70.

[0029] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0030] 6, when the electronic unit 14 is not inserted into the insertion portion 24, the first pin 32 is not moved to the rear side. The lever 26 is in a position in which the lower end 26B extends downward from the rotation shaft 30. The movable rail 28 is also in a lowered position to the extent that the accommodation pin 38 is accommodated in the elongated hole 40. In this state, the electronic unit 14 can be supported by the support plate 44 of the movable rail 28 and slid to the rear side.

[0031] 7, when the electronic unit 14 is moved toward the rear, the first inclined portion 58 of the electronic unit 14 comes into contact with the first pin 32 during insertion into the insertion portion 24. By further moving the electronic unit 14 toward the rear, the first pin 32 is pushed toward the rear, and the lever 26 rotates in the direction of arrow R1.

[0032] Rotation of lever 26 in the direction of arrow R1 also causes second pin 34 to rise. Because second pin 34 is in contact with contact edge 48 of movable rail 28 from below, the rise of second pin 34 also causes movable rail 28 to rise. In addition, the rise of movable rail 28 also causes electronic unit 14, which is supported by support plate 44 of movable rail 28, to rise.

[0033] When the electronic unit 14 moves further toward the rear and the contact portion 54 contacts the first pin 32, the movable rail 28 is in a raised position. The electronic unit 14 can also move toward the rear while maintaining its raised position. The raised height of the electronic unit 14 is ensured to be such that the electronic unit 14 does not interfere with the protrusion 72. Therefore, the electronic unit 14 is inserted toward the rear of the insertion portion 24 while maintaining a predetermined height position without interfering with the protrusion 72. At this time, the upper surface of the support plate 44 is in surface contact with the electronic unit 14, thereby suppressing rattling of the electronic unit 14. Furthermore, the opposing plate 46 of the movable rail 28 faces the contact portion 54 with a small gap therebetween, which also suppresses rattling of the electronic unit 14 and allows the electronic unit 14 to be inserted into the insertion portion 24 in a stable position.

[0034] When the electronic unit 14 moves further toward the rear and the second inclined portion 60 reaches the position of the first pin 32, the first pin 32 moves downward and the lever 26 rotates in the direction of arrow R2. The second pin also moves downward, so the movable rail 28 and the electronic unit 14 also move downward.

[0035] 8, when the contact releasing portion 56 reaches the position of the first pin 32, the lever 26 extends downward from the rotation shaft 30, and the movable rail 28 and the electronic unit 14 maintain their lowered positions. At this stage, the bottom plate 62 of the electronic unit 14 is lower than the upper end of the protrusion 72, but the protrusion 72 is accommodated in the through-hole 64 formed in the bottom plate 62, so that the protrusion 72 and the bottom plate 62 do not interfere with each other.

[0036] In this way, the electronic unit 14 is inserted to a predetermined position within the insertion section 24. In the inserted state, the connector 68 of the electronic unit 14 is electrically connected to the connector 70 of the electronic device housing 12. Note that the connection of the connectors 68, 70 made by using the insertion action of the electronic unit 14 into the insertion section 12 is sometimes referred to as a "plug-in connection."

[0037] When the electronic unit 14 is removed (pulled out) from the insertion section 24, the second inclined portion 60 comes into contact with the first pin 32 during the removal process, causing the lever 26 to rotate in the direction of arrow R2. The second pin 34 pushes up the movable rail 28, causing the electronic unit 14 to also rise. With the contact portion 54 in contact with the first pin 32, the movable rail 28 and the electronic unit 14 are maintained in a raised position, allowing the electronic unit 14 to be pulled out of the insertion section 24 without interfering with the protrusion 72.

[0038] When the electronic unit 14 moves further forward and the first inclined portion 58 reaches the position of the first pin 32, the first pin 32 moves downward and the lever 26 rotates in the direction of arrow R1. Since the second pin also descends, the movable rail 28 and the electronic unit 14 also descend. Then, when the first inclined portion 58 moves away from the first pin 32, the lower end 26B of the lever 26 returns to a position in which it extends downward from the rotation shaft 30.

[0039] As described above, in this embodiment, even if the protrusion 72 is present inside the insertion portion 24, the electronic unit 14 does not interfere with the protrusion 72 during insertion. For example, even if the operator is not aware of the presence of the protrusion 72, the electronic unit 14 can be inserted and removed by simply moving the electronic unit 14 in the depth direction relative to the insertion portion 24, overcoming the protrusion 72. Furthermore, there is no need to limit the height of the electronic unit 14 to make it smaller so that it does not interfere with the protrusion 72, and the electronic unit 14 can be inserted into a predetermined position in the insertion portion 24.

[0040] Since there is no longer a restriction on the height of the electronic unit 14, there are fewer restrictions on the number and size of components that can be mounted on the electronic unit 14. In addition, the creation of more space inside the electronic unit 14 reduces airflow resistance, making it possible to prevent a decrease in cooling performance.

[0041] In this embodiment, the lever 26 is a rod-shaped member. The lever 26 may rotate as the first pin 32 moves to the rear, and the rotation of the lever 26 may move the second pin 34 upward. Therefore, the lever of the disclosed technology may be a disk or a fan-shaped plate centered on the rotation axis 30. By making the lever 26 a rod-shaped member as in the above embodiment, the lever 26 can be made smaller. Furthermore, by configuring the lever 26 to extend downward from the rotation axis 30 (center of rotation), a structure can be realized in which the electronic unit 14 sliding below the rotation axis 30 comes into contact with the first pin 32 of the lever 26.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first pin 32 is located closer to the lower end 26B of the lever 26 than the second pin 34. The electronic unit 14 slides relative to the insertion portion 24 below the lever 26, so a structure can be achieved in which the first pin 32 can easily come into contact with the contact portion 54 without making the lever 26 excessively long.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 are arranged on a single radial line DL. In other words, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 are formed without deviation in the circumferential direction around the rotation shaft 30 (center line CL). In contrast, in the technology disclosed herein, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 may be arranged at positions offset in the circumferential direction. However, if the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 are arranged at positions offset in the circumferential direction, the lever 26 will become larger in the circumferential direction (for example, fan-shaped). By arranging the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 on a single radial line DL as in this embodiment, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 can be arranged even in a rod-shaped lever 26.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 of each lever 26 protrude in the same direction from the lever 26. In contrast, the technology of the present disclosure may have a structure in which the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 protrude in opposite directions from one lever 26. When the first pin 32 and the second pin 34 protrude in the same direction from the lever 26 as in the present embodiment, the thickness of the combined member of the lever 26, the first pin 32, and the second pin 34 can be reduced.

[0045] In this embodiment, multiple guide members 36 are provided on one movable rail 28. Compared to a structure in which one guide member 36 is provided on one movable rail 28, the movable rail 28 can be stably supported so as to be movable in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the multiple guide members 36 are arranged spaced apart in the depth direction (the insertion direction of the electronic unit 14), so the movable rail 28 can be supported more stably than in a structure in which the guide members 36 are arranged without being spaced apart in the depth direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the guide member 36 has a receiving pin 38 and an elongated hole 40. The guide member of the technology of the present disclosure may have a structure in which a rail-like member that supports the movable rail 28 so that it can slide up and down is further provided on the partition wall 22 of the electronic device housing 12. When the receiving pin 38 is received in the elongated hole 40 as in the above-described embodiment, the movable rail 28 can be supported so that it can move up and down with a simple structure.

[0047] In this embodiment, a contact edge 48 is provided on the movable rail 28. The second pin 34 comes into contact with the contact edge 48 from below. This allows for a structure in which the second pin 34 reliably pushes up the movable rail 28 when the second pin 34 moves upward.

[0048] In this embodiment, the movable rail 28 has a support plate 44. The support plate 44 supports the bottom plate 62, i.e., the bottom surface, of the electronic unit 14. This allows the electronic unit 14 to be supported by the movable rail 28 without having to provide any additional members for being supported by the movable rail 28.

[0049] In this embodiment, the electronic unit 14 has a contact portion 54 and a contact release portion 56. When the electronic unit 14 is in the middle of being inserted into the insertion portion 24, the contact portion 54 comes into contact with the first pin 32. This allows the first pin 32 to be pushed toward the rear side, thereby rotating the lever 26 in the direction of arrow R1 (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, when the electronic unit 14 is further inserted into the insertion portion 24, the contact release portion 56 releases contact with the first pin 32. This allows the lever 26 to be rotated in the direction of arrow R2 (see FIG. 2) without pushing the first pin 32 toward the rear side, i.e., the lever 26 to return to its original position.

[0050] In this embodiment, the electronic unit 14 has a first inclined portion 58 and a second inclined portion 60. In the initial stage of inserting the electronic unit 14 into the insertion portion 24, the first inclined portion 58 comes into contact with the first pin 32, so that the first pin 32 can be gradually raised as the electronic unit 14 is inserted into the insertion portion 24. Furthermore, when the first pin 32 moves downward away from the contact portion 54 during the intermediate stage of inserting the electronic unit 14 into the insertion portion 24, the second inclined portion 60 allows the first pin 32 to be gradually lowered. Furthermore, in the initial stage of removing the electronic unit 14 from the insertion portion 24, the second inclined portion 60 comes into contact with the first pin 32, so that the first pin 32 can be gradually raised as the electronic unit 14 is removed from the insertion portion 24. Furthermore, in the final stage of removing the electronic unit 14 from the insertion portion 24, when the first pin 32 moves downward away from the contact portion 54, the first inclined portion 58 allows the first pin 32 to be gradually lowered.

[0051] The above describes the embodiments of the technology disclosed in the present application, but the technology disclosed in the present application is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various modified forms within the scope of the gist of the technology disclosed in the present application.
