[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the impact resistance of electronic devices. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of a module accommodated inside a housing of an electronic device, as viewed from the rear side. [Diagram 2] FIG. 13 is a side view including a leaf spring of the module. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a part of a cross section along a substrate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a module 100 housed inside the housing of an electronic device according to this embodiment, as viewed from the rear side. The electronic device is, for example, a wristwatch-type electronic timepiece. The module 100 is housed inside a cylindrical housing and / or exterior member (hereinafter collectively referred to as the housing), with the top side (upper end) where the display screen is exposed being sealed by a transparent windshield glass, and the bottom side (rear side, lower end) that comes into contact with the arm being sealed by a back cover. Although not particularly limited, the back cover may be made of a conductive material and form part of the ground surface of the housing. The module 100 includes a substrate 11, a first housing 12, a second housing 13, a pressing member 14, etc.

[0010] The substrate 11 is a plate-like member having electronic components for performing various operations of the electronic watch and electronic circuits (including electrodes) for connecting these components. The electronic components may include, for example, a microcomputer, an external storage unit (such as a flash memory), a large-capacity capacitor, modules related to various functional operations such as communication and measurement, and a quartz oscillator. The substrate 11 is supplied with power from a battery B, and operates the various electronic components. For example, the microcomputer counts the time (which may include date information) using a clock signal corresponding to the oscillation of the quartz oscillator. The microcomputer also displays the time and other information on a display screen located under the windshield. The substrate 11 may be a laminated substrate having multiple layers. An electrode 11c is located and exposed on the side surface of the substrate 11.

[0011] The first housing 12 is located on the upper surface side of the substrate 11, and houses the display screen and some of the electronic components that are externally attached to the upper surface of the substrate 11. The external electronic components may include, for example, modules related to communication (including those that only receive), large-capacity capacitors, and the like.

[0012] Second housing 13 is located below substrate 11 and holds substrate 11 in between first housing 12. Second housing 13 accommodates battery B in approximately the center. One surface (e.g., the lower surface) of battery B is connected to the ground surface of the housing, and output (voltage, current) from the other surface (upper surface) is supplied to substrate 11.

[0013] The pressing member 14 is a conductive member, a metal member in this embodiment, and has a portion that is annularly positioned along the lower surface side of the second housing 13. A portion of the pressing member 14 extends from the annular portion to the side surface of the module 100, and an opening 141 (fixed end) thereof is engaged with and fixed to the claw portion 121 of the first housing 12. As a result, the pressing member 14 holds the board 11 integrally with the first housing 12 and the second housing 13 (collectively the support members) sandwiching the board 11 from both sides.

[0014] The pressing member 14 is connected to the underside of the battery B and is grounded to the housing. The pressing member 14 also has a leaf spring 142 that extends downward in the initial state. The leaf spring 142 comes into contact with the back cover and sets the back cover to ground potential.

[0015] Leaf springs 143 extend from openings 141 on the sides in a circumferential direction (first direction) along the sides. Leaf springs 143 are for detecting the pressing of a push button switch (operating member) (not shown). The push button switch (not shown) passes through the housing and is located on the side of the electronic watch. The shaft, which is the base of the spring, comes into contact with leaf spring 143 at least when the push button switch is pressed. Note that when the push button switch is not pressed, the shaft does not have to come into contact with leaf spring 143.

[0016] Fig. 2 is a side view including the leaf spring 143 of the module 100. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a part of a cross section taken along the substrate 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the leaf spring 143 extending on both sides of the opening 141 includes a short, straight first leaf spring 1431 (shaft leaf spring) and a second leaf spring 1432 (contact leaf spring) that branches off midway in the extension direction of the first leaf spring 1431 and extends beyond the first leaf spring 1431.

[0017] The shaft of the push button switch comes into contact with the first position C near the tip of the first leaf spring 1431. When the push button switch is pressed, it applies a force to the first leaf spring 1431 at the first position C in the inward direction of the module 100, i.e., in the vertical direction toward the rear of the drawing.

[0018] The second leaf spring 1432 branches downward from the first leaf spring 1431, that is, toward the second housing 13, and extends parallel to the first leaf spring 1431 with a slit therebetween. The slit may be narrow enough so that the opposing portions of the first leaf spring 1431 and the second leaf spring 1432 do not come into contact with each other. The length of the second leaf spring 1432 is longer than the length from the root R of the slit to the second position S, which is the tip of the first leaf spring 1431. That is, the second leaf spring 1432 extends beyond the second position S. The width of the second leaf spring 1432 increases upward (in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction) beyond the second position S, and extends to a position where it overlaps with the board 11 in a plan view (side view) looking in the direction in which the push button switch (shaft) is pressed. That is, the second leaf spring 1432 is bent in an L-shape near the tip.

[0019] When the first leaf spring 1431 bends toward the inside of the module 100 in response to pressing of the push button switch, the second leaf spring 1432 also bends in the same direction at approximately the same angle. As described above, the electrode 11c is exposed in the range where the second leaf spring 1432 can come into contact with the second leaf spring 1432 on the side surface of the substrate 11 of the push button switch. Therefore, when the first leaf spring 1431 is pressed down a certain distance (or more), the second leaf spring 1432 comes into contact with the electrode. When the second leaf spring 1432 comes into contact with the electrode 11c, the electrode is electrically connected to the pressing member 14, which is grounded to the housing. The substrate 11 has a configuration for detecting the electrical continuity of the electrode 11c, so that the pressed state of the push button switch is detected.

[0020] In addition, the shorter the distance from the base R of the slit to the first position C, the greater the bending deformation that occurs even if the push button switch is pressed down a short distance, improving the responsiveness to the pressing action. On the other hand, if this distance is too short, the stress required to cause the deformation becomes large, so it is necessary to make the first leaf spring 1431 thinner. As a result, when a large stress is applied, the first leaf spring 1431 is easily deformed irreversibly.

[0021] Furthermore, if the distance from the root R of the slit to the position where the second leaf spring 1432 contacts the electrode 11c is longer than the above distance, the amount of bending deformation of the second leaf spring 1432 is larger than the amount of bending deformation of the first leaf spring 1431. Therefore, in such a leaf spring 143, the second leaf spring 1432 can be efficiently brought into contact with the electrode within the range of elastic deformation of the leaf spring 143. Here, for example, the distance from the root R of the slit to the position where the second leaf spring 1432 contacts the electrode 11c is set to be at least twice the distance from the root R of the slit to the first position C.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the tip (tip) of the second leaf spring 1432, where the width is increased, has a curved portion 1432a that is curved toward the inside of the module 100. The substrate 11 has a recess 11a corresponding to this curved portion 1432a, and the electrode 11c is located along this recess 11a. Here, "corresponding" does not mean that they have the same shape. This recess 11a may be slightly larger and / or shallower than the curved portion 1432a so that the curved portion 1432a can easily enter. The shaft of the push button switch presses the first leaf spring 1431 along the dashed line Ls. As a result, the second leaf spring 1432 bends inward, and the curved portion 1432a comes into contact with the recess 11a at the position shown by the dashed double-dashed line.

[0023] The side surfaces of the board 11 and the second housing 13 have a local recess 11b further toward the inside of the module 100 along the range of the first leaf spring 1431. The recess 11b is located further toward the inside of the module 100 than the recess 11a. The first housing 12, which is not shown in FIG. 3, also has a recess in the range of the first leaf spring 1431. As a result, even if the push button switch is pressed to the maximum, the first leaf spring 1431 does not come into contact with the board 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13 as shown by the two-dot chain line. The pressing of the push button switch is not limited to an intentional pressing operation by the user. It may also be pressed due to a collision with a floor surface when the electronic watch is dropped.

[0024] When the push button switch is suddenly and strongly depressed due to the impact of a fall or the like, not only does the second leaf spring 1432 come into contact with the electrode 11c, but the first leaf spring 1431 is further pressed inward by the shaft of the push button switch. At this time, the second leaf spring 1432 is distorted between the root R (branching position from the first leaf spring 1431) and the curved portion 1432a in accordance with the positional deviation between the first leaf spring 1431 and the second leaf spring 1432. If the distortion is small, the force acting between the curved portion 1432a of the second leaf spring 1432 and the electrode 11c (substrate 11) becomes large. On the other hand, if the distortion is large, the second leaf spring 1432 may not be able to return to its original state. Taking these into consideration, the thickness of first leaf spring 1431 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction (vertical direction), the thickness of second leaf spring 1432 in the above direction, and the ratio between them are appropriately set.

[0025] At this time, since the tip of the second leaf spring 1432 extends in an L-shape to an extension line of the first leaf spring 1431, the area of ​​contact between the second leaf spring 1432 and the electrode 11c becomes larger when excessive force is applied to the first leaf spring 1431, making it difficult for a large force to be applied locally. At the same time, even if the first leaf spring 1431 is pressed further down, the second leaf spring 1432 is less likely to twist. In this way, the tip of second leaf spring 1432 extends in an L-shape on the extension line of first leaf spring 1431, so that a sufficient length of leaf spring 143 can be obtained without increasing the length of second leaf spring 1432 that contacts electrode 11c in a straight line. Therefore, the impact resistance of the electronic device can be improved.

[0026] As described above, the electronic device of this embodiment includes the first leaf spring 1431, the second leaf spring 1432, and the substrate 11. The first leaf spring 1431 extends in a first direction along the side from the opening 141, which is the fixed end by the claw portion 121. The second leaf spring 1432 branches off from the middle of the extension direction of the first leaf spring 1431, and extends in the first direction beyond the second position S, which is the tip of the first leaf spring 1431 in the first direction. The substrate 11 has an electrode that comes into contact with the second leaf spring 1432 when the first leaf spring 1431 is pressed in response to the pressing operation of the push button switch, and does not come into contact with the first leaf spring 1431 even when the push button switch is pressed. The second leaf spring 1432 has a tip portion that extends beyond the tip (second position S) in the first direction to a range that includes at least a portion of the range of the first leaf spring 1431 in a second direction (upward) that is different (perpendicular) to the first direction, and the tip portion comes into contact with the electrode in response to the push button switch being pressed. According to this electronic device, the first leaf spring 1431 itself bends without contacting the board 11 even if the push button switch is pressed excessively. Therefore, the electronic device can suppress the impact on the board 11, etc., even if the push button switch is pressed excessively due to a large impact such as a drop. Furthermore, the second leaf spring 1432 is not linear, but bent and can contact the board 11 long and wide, so that the impact is dispersed. Therefore, the impact resistance of the electronic device is improved. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a protrusion shape, etc., around the push button switch on the exterior member to prevent the push button switch from being pressed too hard due to an unintentional drop, etc. Therefore, the freedom of design of the electronic device (electronic watch) is improved. Furthermore, the electrode can contact the second leaf spring 1432 even if it is at an appropriate position in the second direction. Therefore, the freedom of design of the electronic device is improved. In addition, since the position where the electrode of the second leaf spring 1432 contacts the root of the slit is farther away than the position from the root of the slit (the branching position of the second leaf spring 1432) to the first position C, the operation of the push button switch is efficiently detected within the range of elastic deformation of the leaf spring 143 in response to the pressing of the push button switch.

[0027] The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction. In particular, the tip of the second leaf spring 1432 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the shock can be received and dispersed more stably.

[0028] Moreover, the first leaf spring 1431 extends in a first direction along the side from the opening 141, passing through a first position C where the first leaf spring 1431 contacts the shaft of the push button switch, and extends to a second position S. When the first position C of the first leaf spring 1431 is pressed down a certain distance or more by the shaft in response to the pressing action of the push button switch, the electrode contacts the second leaf spring 1432 and is electrically connected to the second leaf spring 1432. The substrate 11 does not contact the first leaf spring 1431 even when the push button switch is pressed down to the maximum. The tip of the second leaf spring 1432 extends to a position where it overlaps with the substrate 11 in the second direction (upward) on the tip side of the second position S in the first direction in a plan view. According to this electronic device, the first leaf spring 1431 absorbs the impact by deformation, and the second leaf spring 1432 can contact the substrate 11 widely. Therefore, in the electronic device, the impact on the substrate, electronic components, etc. is more appropriately suppressed. Thus, the impact resistance of the electronic device (leaf spring 143) is improved. Also, the electrode can contact the second leaf spring 1432 even if it is at an appropriate position in the second direction. Therefore, the design freedom of the electronic device is improved.

[0029] In addition, the second leaf spring 1432 has a curved portion 1432a at the tip end that is curved toward the electrode. In the second leaf spring 1432, this curved portion 1432a comes into contact with the electrode in response to the pressing of the push button switch. Since the protruding portion comes into contact with the electrode, the operation of the push button switch can be detected more reliably in the electronic device.

[0030] The electrode is located along the recess 11a of the substrate 11, which has a recess 11a curved to correspond to the curved portion 1432a. Since the electrode side also has a shape corresponding to the curved portion 1432a of the second leaf spring 1432, the electronic device contacts the electrode 11c while maintaining the reliability of the contact. This makes it easier for the contact position on the electrode 11c side to be stable and close to the same position. In addition, when the leaf spring 143 receives an excessive impact from the shaft, the second leaf spring 1432 is unlikely to move out of the range of the recess 11a.

[0031] The electronic device also includes a first housing 12 and a second housing 13 on both sides of the substrate 11. The first plate spring 1431 and the second plate spring 1432 are aligned along the stacking direction of the substrate 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13, and the electrode 11c is located on the side of the substrate 11. The first housing 12 and the second housing 13 do not come into contact with the first plate spring 1431 even when the push button switch is pressed to the maximum. That is, even if the first plate spring 1431 is bent excessively, it does not come into contact with the substrate 11 or other parts of the module 100. Therefore, the first plate spring 1431 can appropriately distribute the impact from the push button switch and suppress the occurrence of failure of the electronic device.

[0032] Furthermore, the board 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13 have a recessed portion 11b along the pressing direction of the first plate spring 1431. This recessed portion 11b is located inside the module 100 (electronic device) more than the recessed portion 11a. As a result, even if the first plate spring 1431 is pressed down excessively as described above, it will not come into contact with the board 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13. Furthermore, since the board 11 is not made smaller than necessary, it is possible to minimize the effect on the arrangement of other circuits and electronic components.

[0033] The electronic device also includes a push button switch having a shaft that, when pressed, presses the first position C of the first leaf spring 1431. This electronic device can accept operations while effectively reducing adverse effects of shock to the push button switch due to being dropped, for example.

[0034] The electronic timepiece of this embodiment includes the electronic device described above, and has improved shock resistance against being dropped or the like.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but may be modified in various ways. For example, the second leaf spring 1432 may not be extended in length by an L-shape that is bent 90 degrees upward along the side surface, i.e., the second leaf spring 1432 may be bent in a direction other than a right angle from the first direction and extended in the second direction to obtain the length of the second leaf spring 1432. Also, the second leaf spring 1432 may not be bent only once. For example, the second leaf spring 1432 may be bent in a J-shape instead of an L-shape. The tip of the J-shape may be located above the range of the first leaf spring 1431 in a side view. That is, the second leaf spring 1432 may be shaped to surround the second position S at the tip of the first leaf spring 1431 from three directions. Alternatively, the second leaf spring 1432 may change direction in a curved shape beyond the second position S. The width of second leaf spring 1432 may increase gradually or stepwise from a position beyond second position S. The tip portion that increases in the vertical direction may be thicker on the upper surface side than on the lower surface side (the side where second leaf spring 1432 is separated from first leaf spring 1431). In any case, second plate spring 1432 has a shape in which its tip wraps around the tip of first plate spring 1431, thereby making it possible to improve impact resistance.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the entire tip of the second leaf spring 1432 is described as being curved in a U-shape, but this is not limited thereto. It may protrude downward in another shape, such as a V-shape, or may be roughly J-shaped. Alternatively, only the part of the tip of the second leaf spring 1432 that contacts the electrode may protrude downward. Alternatively, the tip may not have a protruding shape at all.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the electrodes of the substrate 11 are described as being located in the curved recesses on the side surface of the substrate 11, but this is not limited thereto. The recesses may be box-shaped. Alternatively, the recesses may be stepped.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the substrate 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13 are described as having the recessed portion 11b so as not to come into contact with the first plate spring 1431, but this is not limited to the above. For example, if it is possible to avoid contact with the first plate spring 1431 simply by cutting off the originally protruding convex portion or apex, it is not necessary for these to be recessed.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the case where the substrate 11 is sandwiched between the first housing 12 and the second housing 13 has been described. In this configuration, the substrate at the center and the first plate spring 1431 tend to overlap in a side view. Therefore, the tip of the second plate spring 1432 in this embodiment can appropriately bring the second plate spring 1432 into contact with the electrode on the side of the substrate 11 in response to the pressing of the first plate spring 1431. However, this is not limited to such a configuration. Housings do not have to be located on both sides of the substrate 11. Alternatively, a plate-like / layer-like configuration other than the substrate 11, the first housing 12, and the second housing 13 may be included.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the push button switch is located on the side of the electronic device, but this is not limited to this. The push button switch may be located on the front (top) or bottom (bottom). The shape of the push button switch is not particularly limited.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the electronic timepiece is described as a wristwatch type electronic timepiece, but is not limited to this. It may be a portable electronic timepiece that is not worn on the arm. The electronic device may also include devices that are worn or carried by the user, such as a smart watch, an activity meter, or a vital sign meter. In addition, the specific configurations, structures, positional relationships, etc. shown in the above embodiment can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes the scope of the invention described in the claims and its equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
