DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0047] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, when referring to components in each drawing, it should be noted that the same components are given the same reference numerals as much as possible even when they are shown in different drawings. In addition, in the description of the present invention, if a detailed description of related known configurations or functions is determined to make the gist of the present invention unclear, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, although preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, the technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited or restricted thereto, and it goes without saying that it can be modified and variously implemented by those skilled in the art.

[0048] In the present invention, the first housing and the second housing may be connected by any one of a first connection mechanism to a twelfth connection mechanism each of which is composed of at least one connection structure.

[0049] The present invention may include a first housing and a second housing. The first housing may incorporate a control unit (not shown) including components such as a Printed Board Assembly (PBA) and a battery. The first housing may be made of a non-elastic material or a material having a higher rigidity than the second housing. For example, the first housing may be made of a metal material such as aluminum, stainless steel, magnesium, or a non-elastic carbon composite material.

[0050] The second housing may be made of a resilient material or may be mostly resilient with some non-resilient material.

[0051] For example, at least a portion of the second housing may be made of a radiation-transmittable, shape-variable elastic material such as rubber, urethane, silicon, a carbon composite material, plastic, etc. A detection panel (not shown) made of a flexible material may be provided inside the second housing.

[0052] For example, the detection panel may be a variable TFT (flexible thin film transistor), and may convert light emitted by a fluorescent material in response to radiation transmitted through the test object into an electric (charge) signal to obtain image information. The detection panel may also include a COF (chip on film) type ROIC (read out IC) sensor and a gate sensor, and the ROIC sensor and the gate sensor may be made of a variable material or structure. The second housing is attached to the outer periphery of the test object having a curved surface, and may perform non-destructive testing of the test object.

[0053] The second housing is configured to house the detection panel etc. inside while exposing the second connector to the outside, thereby enabling the detection panel to be completely sealed, thereby improving waterproof and / or dustproof performance.

[0054] The first mating surface of the first housing and the second mating surface of the second housing may be disposed opposite to each other so that the first housing and the second housing can be coupled together, and when the first housing and the second housing are coupled together, the first connector provided on the first mating surface and the second connector provided on the second mating surface may be coupled together.

[0055] The first and second housings may be positioned closely to each other such that the first and second opposing surfaces are in close contact with each other when connected, or are spaced apart by the protruding distance of the connectors and face each other.

[0056] For example, one of the first connector and the second connector may be a male connector, and the other may be a female connector. For example, one of the first connector and the second connector may be a connector with pins, and the other may be a connector to which pins are connected. For example, the first connector may be a connector with pogo pins (PP), and the second connector may be a magnetic connector to which pogo pins (PP) can be connected.

[0057] According to the present invention, by providing the first housing and the second housing so as to be freely connectable and detachable, there is an advantage that either the first housing or the second housing can be easily replaced and used as needed.

[0058] For example, since the detection panel is placed in a bent state on the outer surface of the test object when used, the second housing in which the detection panel is placed may be damaged before the first housing in which the control unit is built during repeated use. Alternatively, when the test object has a different size, a second housing having a detection panel of a different size may be required. In this case, the present invention makes it possible to use the first housing by combining another second housing.

[0059] FIG. 1 is a separated perspective view of a first housing and a second housing according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the second housing according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] 1 and 2, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 may be connected by a first connecting mechanism. Although not shown, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 may be provided with a fixing means (e.g., a fixing band) for fixing the bendable detector including the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to an inspection target.

[0061] 1 and 2, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be connected together even without the lock member 124 shown in Fig. 3. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be connected together by inserting the insertion member 111 into the insertion hole 121.

[0068] The seal member O can prevent moisture and dust from penetrating into the inside of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 when the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are connected.

[0069] For example, the seal member O may be configured to wrap around the first connector C1. For example, the seal member O may be a waterproof O-ring or a gasket.

[0070] According to the first embodiment, the insertion member 111 may be provided on the first relative surface F1. The insertion member 111 may be provided on both sides of the first relative surface F1 with the first connector C1 in between. The insertion member 111 may be provided on only one side, either the left or right side, of the first connector C1, but is preferably provided on both sides of the first connector C1 in order to firmly connect the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0071] When the insert member 111 is provided on the first mating surface F1, the insert member 111 can protrude toward the second mating surface F2 of the second housing 120.

[0072] The insertion member 111 may be configured in various shapes, such as a circle or a polygon, that match the insertion hole 121 .

[0073] In the first embodiment, the number of insertion holes 121 provided in the second housing 120 may correspond to the number of the insertion members 111.

[0074] The insertion holes 121 may be provided on both sides of the second opposing surface F2 of the second housing 120 across the second connector C2. The insertion holes 121 may be configured as holes into which the insertion member 111 can be inserted. The insertion holes 121 may be configured in various shapes, such as a circle or a polygon, that match the insertion member 111.

[0075] In Figures 1 and 2, an insertion member 111 is provided in the first housing 110 and an insertion hole 121 is provided in the second housing 120, but this is not limited to this, and conversely, the insertion hole 121 may be provided in the first housing 110 and the insertion member 111 may be provided in the second housing 120.

Alternatively, one end of the locking member 124 inserted into the guide hole 122 may be supported by a fixed switch button or lever (not shown). For example, the elastic member 123 may be a coiled spring.

[0079] With the insertion member 111 inserted into the insertion hole 121, the elastic force of the elastic member 123 allows the other end of the locking member 124 to be inserted into the insertion groove 111a provided in the insertion member 111. The other end of the locking member 111 is inserted into the insertion groove 111a of the insertion member 111, thereby restricting the movement of the insertion member 111. Figure 5 shows the state in which the other end of the locking member 111 is inserted into the insertion groove 111a.

[0080] The insertion groove 111a of the insertion member 111 may be formed as a groove that matches the other end of the locking member 124 (see FIG. 5).

[0081] As shown in Fig. 3, when the other end of the locking member 124 is positioned in the insertion hole 121 and the insertion member 111 is inserted into the insertion hole 121, the locking member 124 is pushed toward the guide hole 122 by the insertion member 111, and the other end of the locking member 124 can be inserted into the insertion groove 111a provided in the insertion member 111 as shown in Fig. 5. For example, it is preferable that one surface of the other end of the locking member 124 facing the insertion member 111 is configured as an inclined surface as shown in Fig. 5 so that it can be easily pushed by the insertion member 111.

[0082] 3 to 5, the lock adjustment device 126 may be operated to completely insert the lock member 124 into the guide hole 122, and then the insertion member 111 may be inserted into the insertion hole 121. For example, the lock adjustment device 126 may be a lever, a switch, a button, or the like.

[0083] The lock adjustment device 126 may be coupled to the lock member 124. The lock adjustment device 126 can move along an operating space 125 provided in the second housing 120.

[0084] As an example, as shown in FIG. 5, in a locked state in which the other end of the locking member 124 is inserted into the insertion groove 111a of the insertion member 111 by the elastic force of the elastic member 123, the lock adjustment device 126 can be moved in the unlocking direction to release the locked state.

[0085] In another embodiment, the elastic member 123 may be omitted, and the locking or unlocking operation may be performed by forcibly moving the locking member 124 by operating the lock adjusting device 126. Specifically, the locking member 124 connected to the lock adjusting device 126 is fully inserted into the guide hole 122 by operating the lock adjusting device 126, and the insertion member 111 is inserted into the insertion hole 121, and the locking member 124 connected to the lock adjusting device 126 is moved in the locking direction by operating the lock adjusting device 126, so that it is fitted into the insertion groove 111a provided in the insertion member 111, as shown in the enlarged portion of FIG.

[0086] In this manner, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be firmly connected to each other by inserting the insertion member 111 into the insertion hole 121. In addition, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be firmly connected to each other by fixing the insertion member 111 by the lock member 124.

[0087] For example, when an external force is applied to the lock adjustment device 126 to pull it in the unlocking direction, the lock member 124 connected to the lock adjustment device 126 compresses the elastic member 123 and can be inserted into the guide hole 122 .

[0088] With the locking member 124 fully inserted inside the guide hole 122, the insertion member 111 is inserted into the insertion hole 121. When the external force applied to the lock adjustment device 126 is removed with the insertion member 111 inserted into the insertion hole 121, the compressed elastic member 123 expands and can push the locking member 124 towards the insertion member 111.

[0089] The locking member 124 is pushed toward the insertion member 111 by the elastic member 123, so that the other end of the locking member 124 is inserted into the insertion groove 111a. This makes it possible to restrict the movement of the insertion member 111.

[0090] At this time, the lock member 124 is removed from the guide hole 122 via the lock adjustment device 126, and then the insertion member 111 is inserted. However, it is also possible that the insertion member 111 pushes the lock member 124 into the guide hole and inserts it without having to separately remove the lock member 124 from the guide hole 122 via the lock adjustment device 126.

[0091] For example, as shown in the figure, one surface of the locking member 124 may be formed to be inclined. In this case, the locking member 124 can be pushed into the guide hole 122 by inserting the insertion member 111 due to the formed inclined path.

[0092] Conversely, when an external force is applied to the lock adjustment device 126 to move it in the unlocking direction, the lock member 124 connected to the lock adjustment device 126 presses the elastic member 123 and can be inserted into the guide hole 122 .

[0093] By inserting the locking member 124 into the guide hole 122, the other end of the locking member 124 inserted into the insertion groove 111a of the insertion member 111 can be released from the locked state. This allows the insertion member 111 to move.

[0094] When the first housing 110 is pulled in the disconnection direction, the insertion member 111 inserted into the insertion hole 121 is separated, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be separated.

[0095] In the first embodiment, it has been described that an insertion member 111 is provided in the first housing 110 and an insertion hole 121 is provided in the second housing 120, but this is not limited to this, and when an insertion member 111 is provided in either the first housing 110 or the second housing 120, an insertion hole 121 into which the insertion member 111 is inserted may be provided in the other housing.

[0096] In this manner, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a secure connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 may be achieved by a connection structure in which the insertion member 111 is inserted into the insertion hole 121 and fixed by the locking member 124.

[0097] In the above embodiment, the guide hole 122 is formed in the y-axis direction, but the guide hole 122 may be formed upward or downward in the z-axis direction from the insertion hole 121. In this case, the lock adjustment device 126 may be formed on a side surface of the second housing 120.

[0098] FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of a first housing and a second housing according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 6, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 210 and a second housing 220 may be connected by a second connection mechanism.

[0100] The second connection mechanism may include an insertion member 211 and an insertion groove 221 into which the insertion member 211 is inserted.

[0101] The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 may be connected in a horizontally arranged state aligned in the longitudinal direction (eg, the x-axis direction).

[0102] The insertion member 211 may be arranged at a position corresponding to the insertion groove 221. The insertion members 211 may be arranged on both sides of the first mating surface F1 of the first housing 210 with the first connector C1 interposed therebetween.

[0103] In the second embodiment, of the insert members 211 configured on both sides, the one-side insert member 211 may be located between the first connector C1 and one corner of the first relative surface F1. Of the insert members 211 configured on both sides, the other-side insert member 211 may be located between the first connector C1 and the other corner of the first relative surface F1.

[0105] The insertion grooves 221 may be formed on both sides of the second housing 220 along the longitudinal direction (eg, the x-axis direction) to correspond to the insertion members 211.

[0106] JPEG0007626890000003.jpg6159

[0107] In the second embodiment, it has been described that an insertion member 211 is provided in the first housing 210 and an insertion groove 221 is provided in the second housing 220, but this is not limited to this, and when an insertion member 211 is provided in either the first housing 210 or the second housing 220, an insertion groove 221 into which the insertion member 211 is inserted may be provided in the other housing.

[0108] As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a connection structure in which the insertion member 211 is inserted into the insertion groove 221 allows the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 to be firmly connected to each other.

[0109] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a first housing and a second housing according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0110] As shown in FIG. 7, in the third embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 310 and a second housing 320 may be connected by a third connection mechanism.

[0111] The third connection mechanism may include an insertion member 311 and an insertion groove 321 into which the insertion member 311 is inserted.

[0112] The first housing 310 and the second housing 320 may be connected in a horizontally arranged state aligned in the longitudinal direction (eg, the x-axis direction).

[0113] The insertion members 311 are formed at positions corresponding to the insertion grooves 321. The insertion members 311 are formed on both sides of the first mating surface F1 of the first housing 310 across the first connector C1. The insertion members 311 may be formed in the x-axis direction.

[0115] JPEG0007626890000005.jpg16170

[0116] In the third embodiment, it has been described that the first housing 310 is provided with an insertion member 311 and the second housing 320 is provided with an insertion groove 321, but this is not limited to this. When the insertion member 311 is provided in either the first housing 310 or the second housing 320, the other housing may be provided with an insertion groove 321 into which the insertion member 311 is inserted.

[0117] As described above, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 310 and the second housing 320 can be firmly connected to each other through a connection structure in which the insertion member 311 is inserted into the insertion groove 321 .

[0118] FIG. 8 is a plan view of a first housing according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of an insert member according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a front view of a second housing according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0119] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 410 and a second housing 420 may be connected to each other by a fourth connection mechanism.

[0120] The fourth coupling mechanism may include an insertion member 411, an insertion groove 421 into which the insertion member 411 is inserted, and a lock adjustment device 422 for rotating the insertion member 411.

[0121] The first housing 410 and the second housing 420 may be connected in a horizontally arranged state aligned in the longitudinal direction (eg, the x-axis direction).

[0122] The insert member 411 may be formed in a shape like a "T." The insert member 411 may include an extension portion 411a and a locking member 411b.

[0123] The extensions 411a may be formed on both sides of the first mating surface F1 of the first housing 410 with the first connector C1 in between.

[0124] The locking member 411b may be provided at an end of the extension portion 411a. The locking member 411b may be connected to the extension portion 411a and formed in a direction intersecting the extension portion 411a. For example, the extension portion 411a may be formed in the x-axis direction. The locking member 411b may be inserted into the insertion groove 421 in a state where it is aligned in the y-axis direction at the end of the extension portion 411a and rotates in the Z-axis direction.

[0125] The insertion grooves 421 are provided on both sides of the second opposing surface F2 of the second housing 420. The insertion members 411 are inserted into the insertion grooves 421.

[0126] The lock adjustment device 422 is connected to the extension 411 a. The lock adjustment device 422 is inserted into the receiving portion 412 of the first housing 410 and at least a portion of the lock adjustment device 422 may be exposed to the outside of the receiving portion 412.

[0127] When the lock adjustment device 422 is rotated in the locking direction while the insertion member 411 is inserted into the insertion groove 421, the lock member 411b can rotate in a direction intersecting with the insertion groove 421 and be caught therein.

[0128] Specifically, the insertion member 411 can be inserted into the insertion groove 421 while being aligned with the Y axis, and can be locked by rotating it about the Z axis after insertion.

[0129] In the fourth embodiment, it has been described that the first housing 410 is provided with an insertion member 411 and the second housing 420 is provided with an insertion groove 421, but this is not limited to this. When the insertion member 411 is provided in one of the first housing 410 and the second housing 420, the other housing may be provided with an insertion groove 421 into which the insertion member 411 is inserted.

[0130] In this manner, the fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a connection structure in which, when the insertion member 411 is inserted into the insertion groove 421, the lock member 411b is hooked in an intersecting state into the insertion groove 421 of the second housing 420 by the rotational operation of the lock adjustment device 422, thereby enabling a firm connection between the first housing 410 and the second housing 420.

[0131] Conversely, when the lock adjustment device 422 is rotated in the unlocking direction, the locking member 411b, which was intersecting with the insertion groove 421, becomes aligned with the insertion groove 421, so that the locking member 411b can be released through the insertion groove 421.

The extension 511a is elastically supported by an elastic member 513 coupled to the hinge shaft 512. The locking member 511 may be firmly inserted into the insertion groove 521 by the elastic force of the elastic member 513.

[0138] For example, the elastic member 513 may be a torsion spring. The locking claw 511b may be provided on the other end of the extension portion 511a.

[0139] The insertion grooves 521 are formed in the longitudinal direction of both sides of the second housing 520. The extensions 511a are inserted into the insertion grooves 521. The locking claws 511b can be inserted into the locking grooves 521a formed in the insertion grooves 521.

[0140] The insertion member 514 may be formed in the x-axis direction. The insertion member 514 may be formed on both sides of the first relative surface F1 of the first housing 510. The insertion member 514 may be provided between the two-side locking members 511. The insertion member 514 may protrude from both sides of the first relative surface F1 of the first housing 510 toward the second relative surface F2 of the second housing 520.

[0141] The insertion holes 522 are provided on both sides of the second opposing surface F2 of the second housing 520 across the second connector C2. The insertion holes 522 may be provided between the two-side insertion grooves 521. The insertion members 514 can be inserted into the insertion holes 522.

[0142] In the fifth embodiment, it has been described that an insertion member 514 is provided in the first housing 510 and an insertion hole 522 is provided in the second housing 520, but this is not limited to this, and when an insertion member 514 is provided in either the first housing 510 or the second housing 520, an insertion hole 522 into which the insertion member 514 is inserted may be provided in the other housing.

[0143] As described above, in the fifth embodiment of the present invention, a connection structure in which the locking member 511 is inserted into the insertion groove 521 and the insertion member 514 is inserted into the insertion hole 522 allows for a firm connection between the first housing 510 and the second housing 520.

[0144] FIG. 14 is a side view showing a state in which a first housing and a second housing are horizontally connected according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.

[0145] 14, in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 610 and a second housing 620 may be connected to each other by a sixth connection mechanism. The sixth connection mechanism may include a connection member 630.

[0146] The first housing 610 and the second housing 620 may be connected by a connecting member 630 while being arranged side by side in the x-axis direction.

[0152] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 , the seventh connection mechanism may include a connection member 730 that connects the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 together.

[0153] In the seventh embodiment, the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 can be fixed together using only the connecting member 730, but the seventh embodiment may further include a sliding structure such as a sliding groove 711 provided in the first housing 710 and a sliding rail 721 of the second housing 720 inserted into the sliding groove 711.

[0154] The sliding groove 711 is provided at the bottom of the first housing 710. The sliding rail 721 is formed at the top of the second housing 720. The sliding rail 721 may be formed to fit the sliding groove 711 so as to be slidably inserted into the sliding groove 711.

[0155] The first housing 710 and the second housing 720 are connected to each other in a vertically connected state in the z-axis direction in which the slide rail 721 is inserted into the slide groove 711, and the connecting member 730 connects the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 so as to penetrate between them. For example, the connecting member 730 may be connected vertically in the z-axis direction.

[0156] For example, the connecting member 730 may be a bolt that penetrates between the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 and is screwed into them.

[0157] In this manner, in the seventh embodiment of the present invention, a firm connection between the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 can be achieved by a connection structure in which the connecting member 730 is screwed to penetrate vertically between the first housing 710 and the second housing 720 while the sliding rail 721 of the second housing 720 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 711 of the first housing 710.

[0168] For example, the first connecting member 831 and the second connecting member 832 may be bolts that pass through the connecting plate 840 and screw into the first housing 810 and the second housing 820.

[0169] In this manner, in the eighth embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 are arranged horizontally, and the connecting plate 840 is stacked on both side surfaces of the first housing 810 and the second housing 820. A connecting structure in which the first connecting member 831 and the second connecting member 832 pass through the connecting plate 840 and are screwed into the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 allows the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 to be firmly connected to each other.

[0170] FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the process of connecting a first housing and a second housing according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 22 is a front view of the second housing according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 23 is a front view of the first housing according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention.

[0171] As shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, in the ninth embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 910 and a second housing 920 may be connected by a ninth connection mechanism.

[0172] The ninth connection mechanism may include a sliding groove 911, a sliding rail 921 slidingly coupled to the sliding groove 911, a guide hole 912 provided inside the first housing 910, a locking member 914 coupled to the guide hole 912, and a lock adjustment device 915 that moves the locking member 914.

[0173] A slide rail 921 formed on an upper portion of the second housing 920 may be slidably coupled in the x-axis direction to a slide groove 911 formed on a lower portion of the first housing 910. An insertion groove 921a may be provided on an upper surface of the slide rail 921 of the second housing 920.

[0174] A first relative surface F1 is provided on an inner surface of the sliding groove 911 of the first housing 910. A first relative surface F2 is provided on one surface of the second housing 920 facing the first relative surface F1. The first relative surface F1 and the second relative surface F2 are formed in the x-axis direction. A first connector C1 may be configured on the first relative surface F1, and a second connector C2 may be configured on the second relative surface F2.

[0175] The guide hole 912 is formed in the z-axis direction. The guide hole 912 may be formed in the first housing 910 in a direction intersecting the slide groove 911 so as to communicate with the slide groove 911.

[0176] The lock member 914 may have one end inserted into the guide hole 912 elastically supported by the elastic member 913, and the other end facing the second housing 920 inserted into the insertion groove 921a.

[0177] For example, the elastic member 913 may be a coiled spring.

[0178] The lock adjustment device 915 is coupled to the lock member 914 so as to be able to move the lock member 914 in a locking direction. The lock adjustment device 915 can move along an operating space 916 provided in the first housing 910. For example, the lock adjustment device 915 may be a lever, a switch, a button, or the like.

[0179] When the slide rail 921 of the second housing 920 is inserted into the slide groove 911 of the first housing 910, the first connector C1 of the first housing 910 and the second connector C2 of the second housing 920 can be connected to each other.

[0180] When an external force is applied to the lock adjustment device 915 to push it in the unlocking direction, the lock member 914 connected to the lock adjustment device 915 can be inserted into the guide hole 912 while compressing the elastic member 913. With the lock member 914 completely inserted into the guide hole 912, the slide rail 921 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 911 in the x-axis direction.

[0181] When the external force acting on the lock adjustment device 915 is released while the slide rail 921 is inserted into the slide groove 911, the lock member 914 connected to the lock adjustment device 915 moves in the locking direction so that the other end of the lock member 914 can be inserted into the insertion groove 921a.

[0182] As described above, in the ninth embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 910 and the second housing 920 can be firmly connected to each other through a connection structure in which the slide rail 921 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 911 and the lock member 914 is inserted into the insertion groove 921a.

[0183] FIG. 24 is a separated perspective view of the first housing and the second housing as seen from the second housing according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 25 is a separated perspective view of the first housing and the second housing as seen from the first housing according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention.

[0184] As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, in the tenth embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 1010 and a second housing 1020 may be connected to each other by a tenth connection mechanism.

[0185] The tenth connection mechanism may include a slide rail 1011 provided in the first housing 1010 and a slide groove 1021 provided in the second housing 1020.

[0186] The slide rail 1011 is formed on one surface in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010 in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the first housing 1010. A first opposing surface F1 may be provided on a surface of the slide rail 1011 that advances toward the slide groove 1021.

[0187] The first connector C1 is provided on the first opposing surface F1. The first connector C1 is formed in a direction (e.g., y-axis direction) intersecting with the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010. For example, the first connector C1 may be a connector provided with a pogo pin (POGO PIN, PP).

[0188] The sliding groove 1021 is formed on one surface in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020 in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the second housing 1020. A second relative surface F2 corresponding to the first relative surface F1 may be provided on an inner end surface of the sliding groove 1021.

[0189] A second connector C2 coupled to the first connector C1 may be provided on the second opposing surface F2. The second connector C2 is formed in a direction (e.g., y-axis direction) intersecting with the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020. For example, the second connector C2 may be a magnet connector provided with a magnet M to which a pogo pin (PP) of the first connector C1 can be coupled.

[0190] In this manner, when the slide rail 1011 of the first housing 1010 is aligned with the slide groove 1021 of the second housing 1020 and the slide rail 1011 is inserted into the slide groove 1021, the first connector C1 formed in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010 and the second connector C2 formed in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020 can be connected to each other. This connection structure allows the first housing 1010 and the second housing 1020 to be firmly connected to each other.

[0191] FIG. 26 is a perspective view showing a second mating surface of a second housing according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 27 is a view showing a first mating surface of a first housing according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention.

[0192] 26 and 27, a slide rail 1011 is formed in a cross direction (e.g., y-axis direction) on one surface in the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010, and an accommodating groove 1011a is provided along the longitudinal direction (e.g., y-axis direction) of the slide rail 1011. A first mating surface F1 may be provided in the accommodating groove 1011a.

[0193] The first connector C1 is provided on the first mating surface F1. The first connector C1 may be located at the inner end of the receiving groove 1011a so as to correspond to the second connector C2.

[0194] The first connector C1 is formed in the same direction (for example, the x-axis direction) as the longitudinal direction (for example, the x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010. For example, the first connector C1 may be a connector provided with a pogo pin (POGO PIN, PP).

[0195] A slide groove 1021 is formed in a transverse direction (for example, the y-axis direction) on one surface in a longitudinal direction (for example, the x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020. A second relative surface F2 may be provided at a position corresponding to the first relative surface F1 of the slide groove 1021.

[0196] A second connector C2 that is coupled to the first connector C1 is provided on the second opposing surface F2.

[0197] The second connector C2 is formed in the same direction (e.g., x-axis direction) as the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020. For example, the second connector C2 may be a magnetic connector provided with a magnet M to which a pogo pin (PP) of the first connector C1 can be connected.

[0198] As shown in FIGS. 24 to 27, the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 may be configured as horizontal connectors, or as inclined connectors as shown in FIG.

[0199] In this manner, when the slide rail 1011 of the first housing 1010 is aligned with the slide groove 1021 of the second housing 1020 and the slide rail 1011 is inserted into the slide groove 1021, the first connector C1 formed in the same direction (e.g., x-axis direction) as the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the first housing 1010 and the second connector C2 formed in the same direction (e.g., x-axis direction) as the longitudinal direction (e.g., x-axis direction) of the second housing 1020 can be connected to each other. With this connection structure, the first housing 1010 and the second housing 1020 can be firmly connected to each other.

[0200] FIG. 29 is a plan view showing a state in which a first housing and a second housing are connected together according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 30 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

[0201] As shown in Figures 29 and 30, the tenth connection mechanism may include a guide hole 1022 provided inside the second housing 1020, a lock member 1024 inserted into the guide hole 1022, and a lock adjustment device 1025 connected to the lock member 1024.

[0202] The guide hole 1022 is formed in the second housing 1020 in a direction intersecting the slide groove 1021 (for example, the x-axis direction). The guide hole 1022 may be configured to communicate with the slide groove 1021.

[0203] The locking member 1024 has one end inserted into the guide hole 1022 and is elastically supported by an elastic member 1023 provided in the guide hole 1022. For example, the elastic member 1023 may be a coiled spring. The locking member 1024 may have the other end inserted into the insertion groove 1012 of the first housing 1010.

[0204] The lock adjustment device 1025 is connected to the lock member 1024. The lock adjustment device 1025 can move the lock member 1024 in the lock direction while moving along an operating space 1026 provided in the second housing 1020.

[0205] As shown in Figures 24 to 30, when an external force is applied to the lock adjustment device 1025 to move it in the unlocking direction, the lock member 1024 connected to the lock adjustment device 1025 can be inserted into the guide hole 1022 while compressing the elastic member 1023.

[0206] With the lock member 1024 fully inserted inside the guide hole 1022, the slide rail 1011 of the first housing 1010 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 1021 of the second housing 1020, whereby the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 can be connected to each other.

[0207] When the external force acting on the lock adjustment device 1025 is removed with the slide rail 1011 inserted into the slide groove 1021, the compressed elastic member 1023 can expand.

[0208] The locking member 1024 is pushed toward the first housing 1010 by the elastic member 1023 so that the other end of the locking member 1024 can be inserted into the insertion groove 1012 of the first housing 1010 .

[0209] In this manner, the tenth embodiment of the present invention allows for a firm connection between the first housing 1010 and the second housing 1020 through a connection structure such as the slide rail 1011 inserted into the slide groove 1021 and the lock member 1024 inserted into the insertion groove 1012.

[0210] FIG. 31 is a side view showing a process of connecting a first housing and a second housing according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention.

[0211] As shown in FIG. 31, in the eleventh embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 1110 and a second housing 1120 may be connected to each other by an eleventh connection mechanism.

[0212] The eleventh connection mechanism may include a hook 1121, an assembly groove 1111 into which the hook 1121 is inserted, a locking member 1114, and an insertion groove 1122 into which the locking member 1114 is inserted.

[0213] The first housing 1110 and the second housing 1120 may be connected in a horizontally arranged state aligned in the longitudinal direction (x-axis direction).

[0214] The assembly groove 1111 is provided on an upper portion of a first mating surface F1 of the first housing 1110. One side end of the locking member 1114 may be connected to the inside of the lower portion of the first housing 1110 by a hinge shaft 1112.

[0215] The locking member 1114 can rotate about the hinge axis 1112. The locking member 1114 may include an extension 1114a and a locking pawl 1114b.

[0216] One end of the extension 1114a is elastically supported by an elastic member 1113 inside the first housing 1110. For example, the elastic member 1113 may be a coiled spring.

[0217] The locking claw 1114b is provided at the other end of the extension 1114a. The other end of the extension 1114a and the locking claw 1114b can be positioned on the bottom surface of the second housing 1120 by the rotation of the lock member 1114.

[0218] At least one hook 1121 may be provided on an upper portion of the second opposing surface F2 of the second housing 1120. For example, the hooks 1121 may be provided on both the left and right sides of the second housing 1120.

[0219] The insertion groove 1122 is formed in the bottom surface of the second housing 1120. The insertion groove 1122 may be provided with a locking groove 1122a.

[0220] As shown in FIG. 31( a ), when an external force is applied to the locking member 1114 , the locking member 1114 can rotate about the hinge shaft 1112 while compressing the elastic member 1113 .

[0221] With the lock member 1114 rotated about the hinge shaft 1112 and positioned at the bottom surface of the first housing 1110 , the hook 1121 of the second housing 1120 can be inserted into the assembly groove 1111 of the first housing 1110 .

[0222] When the hook 1121 is inserted into the assembly groove 1111 when the locking member 1114 is not positioned on the bottom surface of the first housing 1110, the second housing 1120 catches on the locking member 1114 and the hook 1121 cannot be inserted into the assembly groove 1111. Therefore, the hook 1121 can be inserted into the assembly groove 1111 with the locking member 1114 positioned on the bottom surface of the first housing 1110.

[0223] As shown in FIG. 31(b), with the hook 1121 inserted into the assembly groove 1111, the first mating surface F1 of the first housing 1110 can be brought into close contact with the second mating surface F2 of the second housing 1120.

[0224] When the external force acting on the locking member 1114 is removed, the compressed elastic member 1113 expands, and the elastic force of the elastic member 1113 can act on the locking member 1114 .

[0225] The lock member 1114 is pushed by the elastic member 1113 and can rotate circularly around the hinge axis 1112 .

[0226] As the lock member 1114 rotates in a circular shape, the other end of the extension portion 1114 a can be inserted into the insertion groove 1122 of the second housing 1120 , and the locking claw 1114 b can be inserted into the locking groove 1122 a of the insertion groove 1122 .

[0227] In this way, the eleventh embodiment of the present invention can firmly connect the first housing 1110 and the second housing 1120 through a connection structure in which the hook 1121 is inserted into the assembly groove 1111, and the other end of the extension portion 1114a provided on the locking member 1114 and the locking claw 1114b are inserted into the insertion groove 1122 and the locking groove 1122a.

[0228] Figure 32 is an oblique view showing the separated state of the first housing and the second housing according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention, Figure 33 is a side view showing the separated state of the first housing and the second housing according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention, Figure 34 is a plan view showing the connected state of the first housing and the second housing according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention, Figure 35 is a cross-sectional view along line BB of Figure 34, Figure 36 is a front view of the first housing according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 37 is a front view of the second housing according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention.

[0229] As shown in FIGS. 32 to 37, in the twelfth embodiment of the present invention, a first housing 1210 and a second housing 1220 may be connected to each other by a twelfth connection mechanism.

[0230] The twelfth connecting mechanism may include an insertion hole 1211 , a locking groove 1212 , an insertion member 1221 , a locking member 1222 , and a locking member 1215 .

[0231] The insertion hole 1211 and the locking groove 1212 may be provided on both sides of the first connector C1 provided on the first mating surface F1 of the first housing 1210.

[0232] The insertion hole 1211 may include a first insertion hole 1211a and a second insertion hole 1211b. The first insertion hole 1211a and the second insertion hole 1211b are formed in sequence toward the inside of the first housing 1210 on the first relative surface F1. The first insertion hole 1211a and the second insertion hole 1211b are connected to each other. The first insertion hole 1211a and the second insertion hole 1211b may be configured concentrically.

[0233] For example, the first insertion hole 1211a may be configured as a long hole that is long from the bottom to the top direction (z-axis direction) of the first relative surface F1, and the second insertion hole 1211b may be configured as a circle.

[0234] The locking groove 1212 may be configured in the form of a groove recessed from the bottom surface to the top surface of the first housing 1210. The locking groove 1212 may include a first locking groove 1212a and a second locking groove 1212b.

[0235] At least one of the left and right side surfaces of the first locking groove 1212a may be formed with an inclined surface SL. The inclined surface SL may be formed with an inclined structure in which the width narrows from the bottom surface of the first housing 1210 toward the top surface (z-axis direction).

[0236] The first locking member 1222a of the locking member 1222 to be inserted into the first locking groove 1212a can be accurately inserted into the first locking groove 1212a along the inclined surface SL.

[0237] The second locking groove 1212b may be configured as a groove larger than the first locking groove 1212a. The second locking member 1222b of the locking member 1222 can be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b.

[0238] The insertion member 1221 and the locking member 1222 may be provided on both sides of the second connector C2 provided on the second opposing surface F2 of the second housing 1220.

[0239] The insert member 1221 may include a first insert member 1221a and a second insert member 1221b.

[0240] When the insertion member 1221 is inserted into the insertion hole 1211, the first insertion member 1221a can be positioned in the first insertion hole 1211a.

[0241] The second insertion member 1221b is provided at an end of the first insertion member 1221a. The second insertion member 1221b may be configured in a shape that matches the first insertion hole 1211a so as to be freely inserted into the first insertion hole 1211a.

[0242] The second insertion member 1221b may be inserted into the second insertion hole 1211b through the first insertion hole 1211a. The second insertion member 1221b is rotated so as to intersect with the first insertion hole 1211a inside the second insertion hole 1211b. When the second insertion member 1221b intersects with the first insertion hole 1211a, the second insertion member 1221b cannot be removed through the first insertion hole 1211a.

[0243] When the second housing 1220 is pulled while the second insertion member 1221b intersects with the first insertion hole 1211a, the second insertion member 1221b gets caught in the first insertion hole 1211a, making it impossible to separate the first housing 1210 and the second housing 1220.

[0244] The locking member 1222 may include a first locking member 1222a and a second locking member 1222b.

[0245] When the locking member 1222 is rotated from the bottom surface to the top surface of the first housing 1210 around the axis of the insertion member 1221 inserted into the insertion hole 1211, the first locking member 1222a can be inserted into the first locking groove 1212a, and the second locking member 1222b can be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b.

[0246] A second locking member 1222b is provided at an end of the first locking member 1222a. For example, the second locking member 1222b may be formed in a circular shape that can be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b.

[0247] The second locking member 1222b has a flat surface FS. When the second locking member 1222b is inserted into the second locking groove 1212b, the flat surface FS faces the bottom surface of the first housing 1210. The second locking member 1222b can be locked in a state in which the flat surface FS is supported by the locking member 1215.

[0248] The locking member 1215 is inserted into the guide hole 1213. The guide hole 1213 may be formed in the first housing 1210 in a direction intersecting the second locking groove 1212b so as to communicate with the second locking groove 1212b.

[0249] One end of the locking member 1215 is inserted into the guide hole 1213 and is elastically supported by the elastic member 1214. The other end of the locking member 1215 supports the flat surface FS of the second locking member 1222b inserted into the second locking groove 1212b to enter a locked state.

[0250] The lock member 1215 can prevent the second locking member 1222b inserted into the second locking groove 1212b from coming off the second locking groove 1212b.

[0251] The lock member 1215 is connected to a lock adjustment device 1217. The lock adjustment device 1217 can move the lock member 1215 in a locking direction while moving along an operating space 1216 provided in the first housing 1210. For example, the lock adjustment device 1217 may be a lever, a switch, a button, or the like.

[0252] FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a process of connecting the first housing and the second housing according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention.

[0253] As shown in (a) of FIG. 38, in order to insert the insertion member 1221 of the second housing 1220 into the insertion hole 1211 of the first housing 1210, the second insertion member 1221b of the insertion member 1221 is aligned with the first insertion hole 1211a of the first housing 1210.

[0254] As shown in (b) of Figure 38, with the second insertion member 1221b of the second housing 1220 aligned with the first insertion hole 1211a of the first housing 1210, the second insertion member 1221b can be inserted into the second insertion hole 1211b via the first insertion hole 1211a.

[0255] As shown in Figures 38(c) and 38(d), with the insertion member 1221 of the second housing 1220 inserted into the insertion hole 1211 of the first housing 1210, the second housing 1220 is rotated around the insertion member 1221 as an axis so that the locking member 1222 is inserted into the locking groove 1212 while rotating from the bottom surface of the first housing 1210 toward the top surface.

[0256] When the locking members 1222 are inserted into the locking grooves 1212, the first locking member 1222a can be inserted into the first locking groove 1212a while being guided by the inclined surface SL, and the second locking member 1222b can be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b (see FIG. 34).

[0257] In the process of rotating the second housing 1220 around the insertion member 1221 as an axis, the second insertion member 1221b can intersect with the first insertion hole 1211a (see FIG. 35).

[0258] When the second locking member 1222b is inserted into the second locking groove 1212b with the other end of the locking member 1215 positioned in the second locking groove 1212b, the second locking member 1222b cannot be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b because the second locking member 1222b is caught by the other end of the locking member 1215. When inserting the second locking member 1222b into the second locking groove 1212b, the lock adjusting device 1217 is pulled so that the locking member 1215 connected to the lock adjusting device 1217 compresses the elastic member 1214 and is fully inserted into the guide hole 1213, and the second locking member 1222b can be inserted into the second locking groove 1212b (see FIG. 35).

[0259] As shown in FIG. 35, when the second locking member 1222b is inserted into the second locking groove 1212b and the pulling force on the lock adjustment device 1217 is removed, the compressed elastic member 1214 expands, so that the locking member 1215 can be pushed in the direction of the second locking groove 1212b by the elastic member 1214.

[0260] When the locking member 1215 is pressed in the direction of the second locking groove 1212b, the other end of the locking member 1215 supports the flat surface FS of the second locking member 1222b inserted into the second locking groove 1212b, thereby enabling the locking member 1222 to enter a locked state.

[0261] In this manner, the twelfth embodiment of the present invention enables a firm connection between the first housing 1210 and the second housing 1220 through a connection structure such as the insertion member 1221 and locking member 1222 of the second housing 1220 inserted into the insertion hole 1211 and locking groove 1212 of the first housing 1210, and the locking member 1215 that locks the locking member 1222.
