[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, embodiments of electronic devices equipped with the fixed structure according to the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Furthermore, the components in the following embodiments include those that are substituted and readily conceivable by those skilled in the art, or that are substantially identical.

[0010] [First Embodiment] <Electronic devices with a fixed structure> Figure 1 is a front perspective view of an electronic device equipped with a fixing structure according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, to explain the fixing structure between a mounting member and a member to be mounted, an electronic device 1 equipped with a fixing structure is used as an example. The fixing structure is also applicable to devices other than electronic devices.

[0011] The electronic device 1 according to this embodiment is an electronic device having a display panel, such as an AV (Audio Visual) integrated car navigation system, which is mounted inside a vehicle. The electronic device 1 comprises a display panel 2, a hinge portion 5, a hinge cover (mounting member) 7, and a main body portion 9 connected to the display panel 2 by a cable (not shown). The electronic device 1 is a so-called floating type in-vehicle device in which the display panel 2 is installed in a state where it protrudes from the vehicle's dashboard.

[0012] In the following description, the upper side during normal use of the electronic device 1 is referred to as the upper part of the electronic device 1, and the lower side during normal use of the electronic device 1 is referred to as the lower part of the electronic device 1. Also, in the following description, the left - right direction when the electronic device 1 is viewed from the passenger side is referred to as the left - right direction of the electronic device 1. The direction from the driver's seat of the vehicle on which the electronic device 1 is mounted toward the windshield is described as the front, and the opposite direction of the front is described as the rear. The front - rear direction is the Z - axis direction. The left - right direction is the X - axis direction. The up - down direction is the Y - axis direction. The X - axis direction, Y - axis direction, and Z - axis direction are orthogonal in three dimensions.

[0013] The display panel 2, which is a display device, will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the electronic device according to the embodiment as viewed from the front. The display panel 2 includes a display unit 3 and a rear cover (mounting member) 4.

[0014] The display unit 3 is formed in a rectangular shape and has a display surface on the front facing the passenger where an image is displayed. The front is the surface that the vehicle passenger can view. In the case of a car navigation device, the front is the surface facing the rear inside the vehicle.

[0015] <Mounting member> The rear cover 4, which is a mounting member, will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a front view of the rear cover according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the slit of the rear cover according to the first embodiment. The rear cover 4 is a cover that covers the rear of the display unit 3. The rear cover 4 is arranged on the back surface opposite to the surface on which the display surface of the display panel 2 is arranged. Since the rear cover 4 is located on the back side of the display unit 3, in the state where the electronic device 1 is mounted on the vehicle, it is arranged at a position that is difficult to be visually recognized by the passenger. The rear cover 4 includes a cover portion 41, a support - portion hole 42, a panel - side claw portion 43, and a slit (slide groove) 44.

[0016] The cover part 41 is a plate-shaped part arranged facing the back surface of the display part 3. In the cover part 41, a hole 42 for the support part, a claw part 43 on the panel side, and a slit 44 are arranged. The hole 42 for the support part, the claw part 43 on the panel side, and the slit 44 are arranged in the central part excluding the right side part, the left side part, and the upper part of the cover part 41.

[0017] The hole 42 for the support part is arranged above the central part of the cover part 41. The hole 42 for the support part includes a hole 42R for the support part arranged at the upper right of the central part of the cover part 41 and a hole 42L for the support part arranged at the upper left of the central part of the cover part 41. The hole 42R for the support part and the hole 42L for the support part are arranged as a pair on the left and right. When the distinction between the hole 42R for the support part and the hole 42L for the support part is not required, it is described as the hole 42 for the support part.

[0018] The hole 42 for the support part is a hole through which a plate-shaped support part protruding forward with respect to the cover part 41 is inserted. In the hole 42 for the support part, a support part in which a female screw into which a male screw for fixing the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 is screwed is inserted is inserted.

[0019] The claw part 43 on the panel side is arranged above the central part of the cover part 41. The claw part 43 on the panel side includes a claw part 43R on the panel side arranged above the central part of the cover part 41 and a claw part 43L on the panel side arranged to the left of the claw part 43R on the panel side. The claw part 43R on the panel side and the claw part 43L on the panel side are arranged as a pair on the left and right. When the distinction between the claw part 43R on the panel side and the claw part 43L on the panel side is not required, it is described as the claw part 43 on the panel side.

[0020] The claw part 43 on the panel side is arranged between a pair of holes 42 for the support part on the left and right. The claw part 43 on the panel side is claw-shaped and protrudes forward from the cover part 41. The claw part 43 on the panel side engages with the hinge cover 7. More specifically, the claw part 43 on the panel side engages with the receiving part 73 of the hinge cover 7 in a state where the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4.

[0021] The slit 44 is disposed below the central portion of the cover portion 41. The slit 44 includes a slit 44R disposed at the lower right of the central portion of the cover portion 41 and a slit 44L disposed at the lower left of the central portion. The slit 44R and the slit 44L are arranged as a pair on the left and right. When there is no need to distinguish between the slit 44R and the slit 44L, it is described as the slit 44.

[0022] The slit 44 is a slit provided in the cover portion 41. The slit 44 is arranged along the vertical direction which is the sliding direction. When the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4, the slide portion (rib portion) 74 of the hinge cover 7 engages slidably. The slit 44 guides the hinge cover 7 to the correct assembly position when the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4. The slit 44 includes a wide portion 441, a first narrow portion 442, and a second narrow portion 443. The wide portion 441, the first narrow portion 442, and the second narrow portion 443 are in communication.

[0023] The wide portion 441 is capable of inserting the claw portion (tip portion) 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 described later. The width W1 in the left - right direction of the wide portion 441 is wider than the width W5 in the left - right direction of the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 (W5 < W1). When the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4, the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 is inserted from the front of the wide portion 441 and positioned behind the slit 44.

[0024] The first narrow portion 442 communicates with the lower end of the wide portion 441. The first narrow portion 442 has a narrower width W2 in the left-right direction than the width W1 of the wide portion 441 in the left-right direction (W1 < W2). The width W2 of the first narrow portion 442 in the left-right direction is narrower than the width W5 of the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 to be described later (W2 < W5), and is wider than the thickness T1 of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 in the left-right direction (T1 < W2). When attaching the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4, the first narrow portion 442 sandwiches the lower end of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 with a gap in the left-right direction. When attaching the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4, the lower end of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 slides in a state of being engaged with the first narrow portion 442.

[0025] The distance D1 between the first narrow portions 442 is the same as the distance D2 between the engaging portions 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7. More specifically, the distance D1 between the first narrow portion 442R and the first narrow portion 442L is the same as the distance D2 between the engaging portion 741R and the engaging portion 741L.

[0026] In the first narrow portion 442, the position of the surface (surface 741a or surface 741b) of the engaging portion (main body portion) 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 that faces one of the circumferential surfaces 442a and 442b along the up-down direction is regulated by one of the circumferential surfaces 442a and 442b. In the present embodiment, in the first narrow portion 442, the circumferential surface 442a located on the central side in the left-right direction regulates the position of the surface 741a that faces the circumferential surface 442a of the first narrow portion 442 among the engaging portions 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the circumferential surface 442b of the first narrow portion 442 located on the outer side in the left-right direction is located on the same plane as the circumferential surface 441b of the wide portion 441 located on the outer side in the left-right direction.

[0028] The second width constriction 443 communicates with the lower end of the first width constriction 442. The second width constriction 443 has a width W3 in the left - right direction that is narrower than the width W2 in the left - right direction of the first width constriction 442 (W3 < W2). The second width constriction 443 has a width W3 in the left - right direction that is narrower than the width W5 in the left - right direction of the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 to be described later (W3 < W5), and has a thickness that is slightly thinner than the thickness T1 in the left - right direction of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7. The width W3 in the left - right direction of the second width constriction 443 is narrower than the width W5 in the left - right direction of the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 to be described later, and is about the same as the thickness T1 in the left - right direction of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7. By "about the same", it means that when the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4, the difference is such that there is no play between the engaging portion 741 and the second width constriction 443. When attaching the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4, the second width constriction 443 sandwiches the lower end of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7. When attaching the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4, the lower end of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 slides in a state of being engaged with the second width constriction 443.

[0029] In the second width constriction 443, one of the circumferential surfaces 443a and 443b along the up - down direction (circumferential surface 443a or circumferential surface 443b) regulates the position of the surface (surface 741a or surface 741b) of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 that faces one surface of the second width constriction 443, and the other surface (circumferential surface 443b or circumferential surface 443a) regulates the position of the surface (surface 741b or surface 741a) of the engaging portion 741 that faces the other surface of the second width constriction 443. In the present embodiment, in the second width constriction 443, the circumferential surface 442a located on the central side in the left - right direction regulates the position of the surface 741a of the engaging portion 741 that faces one surface 442a of the second width constriction 443, and the other circumferential surface 443b regulates the position of the surface 741b of the engaging portion 741 that faces the other surface 443b of the second width constriction 443.

[0030] In this embodiment, the circumferential surface 442a located on the inside in the left-right direction of the first narrow portion 442 and the circumferential surface 443a located on the inside in the left-right direction of the second narrow portion 443 are located on the same plane.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connection portion between either the circumferential surface 441a or 441b of the wide portion 441, which is aligned vertically, and either the circumferential surface 442a or 442b of the first narrow portion 442, which is aligned vertically, has an inclination. In this embodiment, the connection portion A1 between the circumferential surface 441a of the wide portion 441 and the circumferential surface 442a of the first narrow portion 442 has an inclination.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connection between the other surface of either the circumferential surface 441a or circumferential surface 441b of the wide portion 441, which is aligned vertically, and the other surface of either the circumferential surface 442a or circumferential surface 442b of the first narrow portion 442, which is aligned vertically, has an inclination. In this embodiment, the connection A2 between the other surface 442b of the first narrow portion 442 and the other surface 443b of the second narrow portion 443 has an inclination.

[0033] When the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4, the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 are secured together by screws (not shown in the diagram).

[0034] The hinge portion 5 connects the back surface of the display panel 2 to the main body portion 9. The hinge portion 5 is a mounting member that allows the display panel 2 to be mounted on the main body portion 9 with adjustable height. The hinge portion 5 is arranged in a pair, left and right, between a pair of left and right slits 44. The hinge portion 5 comprises a hinge portion 5R located to the left of slit 44R and a hinge portion 5L located to the right of slit 44L. When it is not necessary to distinguish between hinge portion 5R and hinge portion 5L, they will be described as hinge portion 5.

[0035] <Mounting components> The hinge cover 7, which is a mounting component, will be described using Figure 4. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the hinge cover according to the first embodiment. The hinge cover 7 is positioned on the back surface of the display panel 2 and covers the central part and the hinge part 5 of the rear cover 4. The hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4 when the display panel 2 and the main body 9 are attached to the vehicle. The hinge cover 7 comprises a cover part 71 and a sliding part (rib part) 74.

[0036] The cover portion 71 is plate-shaped and positioned opposite the rear cover 4. The cover portion 71 is detachable from the rear cover 4.

[0037] A receiving portion 73 is positioned at the top of the cover portion 71. The receiving portion 73 of the cover portion 71 is a recess into which the panel-side claw portion 43 of the rear cover 4 engages when the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4. When the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4, the panel-side claw portion 43R of the rear cover 4 engages with the receiving portion 73R of the cover portion 71, and the panel-side claw portion 43L of the rear cover 4 engages with the receiving portion 73L of the cover portion 71. The receiving portions 73R and 73L are positioned as a pair, left and right.

[0038] The sliding portion 74 is located on the side of the hinge cover 7 that faces the back surface of the display panel 2 (the back surface that is not exposed to the outside of the hinge cover 7 when installed). The sliding portion 74 is a slider that can slide along the slit 44 while engaged with the slit 44 of the rear cover 4. The sliding portion 74 includes a sliding portion 74R located to the lower right of the cover portion 41 that can engage with the slit 44R, and a sliding portion 74L located to the lower left that can engage with the slit 44L. The sliding portions 74R and 74L are arranged as a pair, left and right. When it is not necessary to distinguish between the sliding portions 74R and 74L, they will be described as the sliding portion 74. The sliding portion 74 includes an engaging portion (main body portion) 741 and a claw portion (tip portion) 742. The engaging portion 741 and the claw portion 742 are formed as a single unit.

[0039] The engaging portion 741 stands upright from the surface side facing the back surface of the display panel 2 of the hinge cover 7 (the back surface that is not exposed outside the hinge cover 7 in the attached state). The engaging portion 741 is plate-shaped. The engaging portion 741 is engaged with the first width-narrowed portion 442 and the second width-narrowed portion 443 of the slit 44 of the rear cover 4 and is slidable.

[0040] The claw portion 742 is disposed at the end of the engaging portion 741. The claw portion 742 is formed with a width W5 wider than the thickness T1 of the engaging portion 741 (T1 < W5). The claw portion 742 has a shape protruding at least in either the left or right direction with respect to the engaging portion 741. In the present embodiment, the claw portion 742 is a plate-shaped member disposed in a direction different from that of the engaging portion 741. In the present embodiment, the claw portion 742 and the engaging portion 741 are orthogonal. In the present embodiment, the claw portion 742 and the engaging portion 741 are L-shaped in a top-down view.

[0041] <Operation of the fixing structure (fixing method)> Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9, the fixing structure (fixing method) and operation between the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 of the electronic device 1 will be described. Before attaching the hinge cover 7, the main body portion 9 and the display panel 2 of the electronic device 1 are connected by a cable and are attached to the dashboard of the vehicle. An operator located on the driver's seat side performs the attachment work in a state where it is difficult to visually observe the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 located on the back side of the display portion 3 of the display panel 2.

[0042] With reference to FIGS. 4(a) and 5, the state at the start of attachment will be described. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the hinge cover according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4(a) shows the state at the start of attachment. FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where an attachment member is attached to a member to be attached. The claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 is inserted from the front of the wide portion 441 of the slit 44 of the rear cover 4, passed through the wide portion 441, and positioned behind the slit 44. Thereby, the lower portion of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 is located within the wide portion 441 of the slit 44.

[0043] Figures 4(b) and 6 illustrate the installation process. Figure 6 is a magnified view of the rear cover slit and the hinge cover sliding portion during the installation process. Figures 4(b) and 6 show the state after the sliding portion 74 of the hinge cover 7 has been slid downward along the slit 44 of the rear cover 4, starting from the state shown in Figure 4(a). The lower part of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 is guided along the slope from the wide portion 441 of the slit 44 to the first narrow portion 442. As shown in Figure 6, the lower part of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 is located within the first narrow portion 442 of the slit 44. The circumferential surface 442a of the first narrow portion 442 restricts the position of the surface 741a of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74.

[0044] Figure 7 will be used to explain the state during installation. Figure 7 is a magnified view of the slit in the rear cover and the sliding part of the hinge cover during installation. Figure 7 shows the state after the sliding part 74 of the hinge cover 7 has been further slid downward along the slit 44 of the rear cover 4 from the state shown in Figure 6. The lower part of the engaging part 741 of the sliding part 74 is guided and slides along the slope from the first narrow part 442 to the second narrow part 443 of the slit 44. As shown in Figure 7, the lower part of the engaging part 741 of the sliding part 74 is located within the second narrow part 443 of the slit 44. The circumferential surface 442a of the second narrow part 443 restricts the position of the surface 741a of the engaging part 741, while the other circumferential surface 443b restricts the position of the surface 741b of the engaging part 741.

[0045] Figures 4(c), 8, and 9 will be used to explain the installed state. Figure 8 is a magnified view of the slit in the rear cover and the sliding part of the hinge cover in the installed state. Figure 9 is a front view showing the mounting member attached to the mounting member. Figures 4(c), 8, and 9 show the state after the sliding part 74 of the hinge cover 7 has been further slid downward along the slit 44 of the rear cover 4 from the state shown in Figure 7. That is, the sliding part 74 has been slid along the slit 44 to a predetermined position (appropriate mounting position).

[0046] Then, the sliding part 74 is slid along the slit 44 to a predetermined position (appropriate mounting position), and the panel-side claw portion 43 of the rear cover 4 is pushed into the receiving part 73 and engaged. With the panel-side claw portion 43 of the rear cover 4 engaged with the receiving part 73, the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 are fixed together with screws. In this way, the hinge cover 7 is attached to the rear cover 4.

[0047] <Effects> As described above, in this embodiment, the slit 44 comprises a wide portion 441 through which the claw portion 742 of the slide portion 74 can pass, a first narrow portion 442 that is narrower than the wide portion 441, and a second narrow portion 443 that is narrower than the first narrow portion 442. According to this embodiment, the width of the slit 44 narrows along the sliding direction. According to this embodiment, when attaching the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4, the slit 44 is slid from the wider end to the narrower end, thus reducing friction and making it easier to slide. This embodiment makes it easier to attach the hinge cover 7 to the rear cover 4 and suppresses rattling. According to this embodiment, rattle noise can be reduced. According to this embodiment, rattling can be suppressed, so the number of screw fastening points required to prevent rattling can be reduced. According to this embodiment, the hinge cover 7 can be easily attached to the rear cover 4, thus reducing stress on the worker.

[0048] In this embodiment, the width W1 of the wide portion 441 is wider than the width W5 of the claw portion 742 of the sliding portion 74 of the hinge cover 7. According to this embodiment, the claw portion 742 can easily pass through the slit 44.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first narrow portion 442 has a circumferential surface 442a and a circumferential surface 442b that are aligned vertically, and either one of these surfaces can restrict the position of the surface of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 that faces the surface of the first narrow portion 442. According to this embodiment, the first narrow portion 442 can position one surface of the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74. In this embodiment, by reducing the clearance between the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 and one side of the circumferential surface of the first narrow portion 442, the rotation of the hinge cover 7 can be suppressed, thereby suppressing large displacement of the hinge cover 7. In this embodiment, there is clearance between the engaging portion 741 of the slide portion 74 and the other side of the circumferential surface of the first narrow portion 442, so the hinge cover 7 can move smoothly relative to the rear cover 4. In this embodiment, the hinge cover 7 can be easily attached to the rear cover 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second narrow portion 443 has a circumferential surface 443a and a circumferential surface 443b along the sliding direction that can restrict the position of the surface of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 that faces the surface of the second narrow portion 443. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the circumferential surface 443b or circumferential surface 443a of the second narrow portion 443 can restrict the position of the surface of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 that faces the other surface of the second narrow portion 443. According to this embodiment, both surfaces of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 can be positioned in the second narrow portion 443. This embodiment can suppress rattle.

[0051] In this embodiment, the connection between one surface of the circumferential surface 441a and 441b along the vertical direction of the wide portion 441 and one surface of the first narrow portion 442 has an inclination. In this embodiment, the connection between the other surface of the first narrow portion 442 and the other surface of the second narrow portion 443 has an inclination. According to this embodiment, when the hinge cover 7 is installed, the lower part of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 can be guided along the inclination and slide from the wide portion 441 of the slit 44 to the first narrow portion 442. According to this embodiment, when the hinge cover 7 is installed, the lower part of the engaging portion 741 of the sliding portion 74 can be guided along the inclination and slide from the first narrow portion 442 of the slit 44 to the second narrow portion 443. According to this embodiment, the hinge cover 7 can be installed smoothly.

[0052] [Second Embodiment] Figure 10 is a magnified view of the slit 44 of the rear cover 4, which is the member to be mounted, and the sliding portion 74 of the hinge cover 7, which is the mounting member, in the fixing structure according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the second narrow portion 443 of the slit 44 of the rear cover 4 differs from that of the first embodiment, but otherwise it is configured the same as the first embodiment. In the following, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described.

[0053] The second narrow portion 443 has a recess 444 on either the circumferential surface 443a or the circumferential surface 443b along the sliding direction. In this embodiment, the second narrow portion 443 has a recess 444 on the circumferential surface 443b.

[0054] Multiple recesses 444 are arranged in a row in the vertical direction. The recesses 444 are formed in a concave shape outward from the outer circumferential surface of the second narrow section 443. The depth of the recesses 444 from the outer circumferential surface of the second narrow section 443 is narrower than the width W3 of the second narrow section 443 in the left-right direction. The recesses 444 suppress rattling between the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 when vibrations occur during the movement of a vehicle, for example.

[0055] <Effects> As described above, according to this embodiment, the recess 444 reduces friction between the rear cover 4 and the hinge cover 7 when vibrations occur during the driving of a vehicle, and also suppresses rattling.

[0056] The above-described components include those that are easily conceivable by those skilled in the art, and those that are substantially identical. Furthermore, the above-described components can be combined as appropriate. In addition, various omissions, substitutions, or modifications of the components are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0057] The shape of the slit 44 described above is just an example and is not limited thereto. For example, the circumferential surface 441a of the wide portion 441 of the slit 44 and the circumferential surface 442a of the first narrow portion 442 may be located on the same plane. Also, the circumferential surface 442b of the first narrow portion 442 and the circumferential surface 443b of the second narrow portion 443 may be located on the same plane. In this embodiment, the connection between the circumferential surface 441b of the wide portion 441 and the circumferential surface 442b of the first narrow portion 442, and the circumferential surface 442a of the first narrow portion 442 and the circumferential surface 443a of the second narrow portion 443 have inclinations.
