[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, like components are denoted by like reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, the embodiments do not limit the present disclosure, but are merely examples, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0032] 1, the electronic device 1 of this embodiment is, for example, a notebook personal computer (in other words, a laptop PC). The electronic device 1 includes a first unit 10 and a second unit 20. The first unit 10 is detachably attached to the second unit 20. In other words, the electronic device 1 is configured as a so-called detachable computer.

[0033] The first unit 10 is a tablet computer having a display unit 11. The display unit 11 is, for example, a substantially rectangular liquid crystal display panel and is configured as a touch panel that can receive touch operations from a user. The first unit 10 incorporates a central processing unit (CPU), a volatile storage device (RAM), a nonvolatile storage device (ROM, SSD, etc.), a battery, etc. The nonvolatile storage device (ROM, SSD, etc.) stores an operating system (OS), various application programs, various data, etc. The central processing unit (CPU) realizes various functions by reading the OS, application programs, and various data and executing arithmetic processing.

[0034] The second unit 20 is a station to which the first unit 10 is detachably attached. The second unit 20 includes input units 21 and 22, a socket 30, and a hinge 40. The input units 21 and 22 are configured, for example, with a keyboard and a touchpad, and are configured to allow the user to perform input processing.

[0035] The socket 30 removably houses the first unit 10. The socket 30 is disposed at one end of the second unit 20 in the depth direction (for example, the Y direction), and is connected to the second unit 20 via a hinge 40.

[0036] The hinge 40 has a rotation axis extending along the width direction (e.g., the X direction) of the electronic device 1, and can rotate the socket 30 around this rotation axis to hold the socket 30 at any angle relative to the second unit 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , by holding the socket 30 at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to the second unit 20 by the hinge 40, the first unit 10 is in an open state with an angle of 90 degrees relative to the second unit 20. Alternatively, by holding the first unit 10 at an angle of approximately zero degrees relative to the second unit 20 by the hinge 40, a closed state can be achieved. The "closed state" refers to a state in which the first unit 10 and the second unit 20 are closely opposed to each other and are substantially parallel.

[0037] Next, a description will be given of the configuration of the first unit 10. Some of the components that make up the first unit 10 are omitted from Figures 2 to 6.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2, the first unit 10 includes a housing 50 having a first surface 51 and a second surface 52 intersecting the first surface 51, an electronic component 60 (see FIG. 3), and a cover 70. As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 50 has a display unit 11 and an opening 53 provided on the first surface 51. The opening 53 is provided between the display unit 11 on the first surface 51 and the second surface 52 in a first direction (e.g., the Z direction) intersecting the second surface 52. In this embodiment, when the first unit 10 is opened at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to the second unit 20 (see FIG. 1), the opening 53 is located at an end far from the second unit 20 in the first direction Z. As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic component 60 is located inside the housing 50 and exposed to the outside of the housing 50 through the opening 53. As shown in FIG. 4, the cover 70 is disposed between the opening 53 and the electronic component 60 in a second direction (e.g., the Y direction) intersecting the first surface 51, and opens and closes the opening 53 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0039] 1, for example, the housing 50 has a substantially rectangular plate shape. The first surface 51 constitutes one of a pair of surfaces that intersect in the thickness direction (e.g., Y direction) of the housing 50. The second surface 52 constitutes one of a pair of side surfaces (e.g., a pair of side surfaces arranged along the XY plane) that extend in the thickness direction of the housing 50 and in the longitudinal direction (e.g., X direction) of the first surface 51. The opening 53 has a substantially rectangular shape that extends along the longitudinal direction of the first surface 51.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , in this embodiment, the housing 50 has a first notch 54 and a second notch 55 provided in the first surface 51. The first notch 54 is connected to the opening 53 from one side in the first direction Z relative to the opening 53 (in this embodiment, the side farther from the second surface 52). As shown in FIG. 2 , the first notch 54 accommodates an operating unit 73 of the cover 70, which will be described later, when the cover 70 is positioned at a closed position P1 in which the opening 53 is closed. The second notch 55 is connected to the opening 53 from the other side in the first direction Z relative to the opening 53 (in this embodiment, the side closer to the second surface 52). As shown in FIG. 3 , the second notch 55 accommodates the operating unit 73 of the cover 70 when the cover 70 is positioned at an open position P2 in which the opening 53 is open. In this embodiment, each of the first notch 54 and the second notch 55 is configured to be able to accommodate a portion of the operating unit 73.

[0041] 2 and 3, a plurality of openings 501 are provided on both sides of opening 53 in the longitudinal direction of housing 50, through which electronic components (not shown) such as a microphone and a sensor are exposed to the outside of housing 50. Openings 53, 501 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of housing 50.

[0042] 4 and 5, the housing 50 has a positioning member 56 that is disposed further inside the housing 50 in the second direction Y than a cover main body 71 of a cover 70, which will be described later. The positioning member 56 is, for example, a plate-like member made of a magnesium alloy, and has a first recess 57 and a second recess 58 that can respectively accommodate positioning protrusions 72 of the cover 70, which will be described later. The first recess 57 and the second recess 58 are provided on a surface that faces the opening 53 in the second direction Y, and are arranged side by side along the first direction Z.

[0043] 4, the first recess 57 is disposed to face the positioning protrusion 72 in the second direction Y when the cover 70 is located at the closed position P1, and accommodates the positioning protrusion 72. A gap 81 is provided between the positioning protrusion 72 and the bottom of the first recess 57 when the cover 70 is located at the closed position P1.

[0044] 5, the second recess 58 is disposed to face the positioning protrusion 72 in the second direction Y when the cover 70 is in the open position P2, and accommodates the positioning protrusion 72. A gap 82 is provided between the positioning protrusion 72 and the bottom of the second recess 58 when the cover 70 is in the open position P2.

[0045] The opening edges of each of the first recess 57 and the second recess 58 are rounded. The bottom surfaces of each of the first recess 57 and the second recess 58 are curved.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 6 , the positioning member 56 has a first groove 561 and a second groove 562 that are spaced apart in the third direction X. A first recess 57 and a second recess 58 are disposed between the first groove 561 and the second groove 562 in the third direction X. The first groove 561 is disposed opposite a first guide protrusion 75 of the cover 70 (described later) in the second direction Y. The first groove 561 extends along the first direction Z and accommodates the first guide protrusion 75. The second groove 562 is disposed opposite a second guide protrusion 76 of the cover 70 (described later) in the second direction Y. The second groove 562 extends along the first direction Z and accommodates the second guide protrusion 76.

[0047] The electronic component 60 is, for example, a compound eye camera, and as shown in FIG. 3, a lens 61 and an LED 62 are exposed to the outside of the housing 50 through an opening 53.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the cover 70 is attached to the housing 50 in a state in which it can move between an open position P2 and a closed position P1 in the first direction Z. In this embodiment, the cover 70 has a cover main body 71 and a positioning protrusion 72. As shown in FIG. 6 , the cover main body 71 is a substantially rectangular plate extending along the first surface 51, and the positioning protrusion 72 is provided at an end 74 of the cover main body 71 at a position away from the center of the cover main body 71 in the third direction X toward the second guide protrusion 76 and close to the second surface 52 in the first direction Z. The positioning protrusion 72 protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 in the second direction Y. The tip of the positioning protrusion 72 (in other words, one end in the second direction Y facing the positioning member 56 of the housing 50) is curved.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, the cover body 71 is configured so that the dimension D1 in the second direction Y at one end in the first direction Z (i.e., the end 74) is smaller than the dimension D2 in the second direction Y at the other end in the first direction Z.

[0050] 6, the cover 70 has a first guide protrusion 75 provided at one end of the cover main body 71 in a third direction X that intersects the first direction Z and the second direction Y, and a second guide protrusion 76 provided at the other end of the cover main body 71 in the third direction X. As an example, each of the first guide protrusion 75 and the second guide protrusion 76 has a substantially rectangular plate shape and protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 along the second direction Y.

[0051] 2 and 3, the cover 70 has an operating portion 73 that extends from the cover main body 71 toward the outside of the housing 50 along the second direction Y. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, the operating portion 73 has a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape and is disposed at a position away from the center of the cover main body 71 toward the second guide protrusion 76 in the third direction X.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 6, the cover 70 has a protrusion 77 provided at one end of the cover main body 71 in the first direction Z. In this embodiment, the cover 70 has two protrusions 77, one on each side of the positioning protrusion 72 in the third direction X. Each protrusion 77 protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the outside of the housing 50 in the second direction Y. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each protrusion 77 overlaps with the area around the opening 53 of the housing 50 when viewed along the first direction Z. The tip of each protrusion 77 (in other words, one end in the second direction Y facing the first surface 51 of the housing 50) is curved.

[0053] The electronic device 1 can achieve the following effects.

[0054] Generally, the surface of an electronic device on which a display unit is provided has a larger space along the periphery of the display unit than in a direction intersecting the periphery of the display unit. Therefore, the opening is typically formed so that its dimension along the periphery of the display unit is larger than its dimension in a direction intersecting the periphery of the display unit. Electronic device 1 includes a housing 50, an electronic component 60, and a cover 70. Housing 50 has a first surface 51 on which a display unit 11 is provided and a second surface 52 intersecting the first surface 51. An opening 53 is provided between display unit 11 and second surface 52 in a first direction intersecting the second surface 52 of first surface 51. Electronic component 60 is disposed inside housing 50 and is exposed to the outside of housing 50 through opening 53. Cover 70 is disposed between opening 53 and electronic component 60 in a second direction intersecting the first surface 51, and moves along the first direction between a closed position P1 where cover 70 closes opening 53 and an open position P2 where cover 70 opens opening 53. This configuration reduces the space required for moving the cover 70, thereby increasing the space inside the housing 50 in which other electronic components can be mounted. As a result, an electronic device with a high degree of freedom in arranging the electronic components 60 can be realized. For example, even when other electronic components 60 are arranged around an electronic component 60, each electronic component 60 can be provided with its own opening 53 and cover 70, allowing each electronic component 60 to be independently exposed to the outside of the housing 50. As a result, the impact on the other electronic components 60 caused by opening and closing the opening 53 through which the electronic component 60 is exposed can be reduced.

[0055] The cover 70 has a cover main body 71 extending along the first surface 51 and a positioning protrusion 72 protruding from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 in the second direction. The housing 50 has a positioning member 56 that is disposed further inside the housing 50 than the cover main body 71 in the second direction and that has a first recess 57 that receives the positioning protrusion 72 when the cover 70 is located at the closed position P1. With this configuration, the cover 70 can be held at the closed position P1.

[0056] When the cover 70 is located at the closed position P1, a gap 81 is provided between the positioning protrusion 72 and the bottom of the first recess 57. With this configuration, when the cover 70 is located at the closed position P1, the cover 70 can be more easily moved from the closed position P1 to the open position P2.

[0057] The cover 70 has a cover main body 71 extending along the first surface 51 and a positioning protrusion 72 protruding from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 in the second direction. The housing 50 has a positioning member 56 that is disposed further inside the housing 50 than the cover main body 71 in the second direction and that is provided with a second recess 58 that receives the positioning protrusion 72 when the cover 70 is located in the open position P2. With this configuration, the cover 70 can be held in the open position P2.

[0058] When the cover 70 is located in the open position P2, a gap 82 is provided between the positioning protrusion 72 and the bottom of the second recess 58. With this configuration, when the cover 70 is located in the open position P2, the cover 70 can be more easily moved from the open position P2 toward the closed position P1.

[0059] The positioning protrusion 72 is provided at one end in the first direction of the cover body 71. The dimension in the second direction at one end in the first direction of the cover body 71 is smaller than the dimension in the second direction at the other end in the first direction of the cover body 71. With this configuration, the end of the cover body 71 on which the positioning protrusion 72 is provided is more likely to elastically deform in the second direction, making it easier to move the cover 70 between the closed position P1 and the open position P2.

[0060] The cover 70 has a first guide protrusion 75 and a second guide protrusion 76. The first guide protrusion 75 is provided at one end of the cover main body 71 in a third direction intersecting the first and second directions and protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 along the second direction. The second guide protrusion 76 is provided at the other end of the cover main body 71 in the third direction and protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the inside of the housing 50 along the second direction. The positioning member 56 has a first groove 561 and a second groove 562. The first groove 561 is disposed opposite the first guide protrusion 75 in the second direction and accommodates the first guide protrusion 75. The second groove 562 is disposed opposite the second guide protrusion 76 in the second direction and accommodates the second guide protrusion 76. The first groove 561 and the second groove 562 each extend along the first direction to guide movement of the cover 70 in the first direction. This configuration allows the cover 70 to move more smoothly.

[0061] The cover 70 has an operating unit 73 that extends from the cover main body 71 toward the outside of the housing 50 in the second direction. The operating unit 73 is disposed at a position away from the center of the cover main body 71 in the third direction. With this configuration, the position of the operating unit 73 can be changed depending on the configuration of the electronic component 60, thereby realizing an electronic device 1 with a high degree of design freedom that can use electronic components 60 with various configurations.

[0062] The housing 50 has a first notch 54 and a second notch 55 provided in the first surface 51. The first notch 54 is connected to the opening 53 from one side in the first direction relative to the opening 53, and accommodates the operating unit 73 when the cover 70 is located in the closed position P1. The second notch 55 is connected to the opening 53 from the other side in the first direction relative to the opening 53, and accommodates the operating unit 73 when the cover 70 is located in the open position P2. With this configuration, the operating range of the operating unit 73 can be widened, thereby improving the operability of the cover 70.

[0063] The cover 70 has a protrusion 77 provided at one end in the first direction of the cover main body 71. The protrusion 77 protrudes from the cover main body 71 toward the outside of the housing 50 along the second direction, and overlaps with the area around the opening 53 of the housing 50 when viewed along the first direction. This configuration prevents the cover 70 from floating.

[0064] The electronic device 1 can also be configured as follows.

[0065] The electronic device 1 may have any configuration including a housing 50 having an opening 53, an electronic component 60 exposed to the outside of the housing 50 through the opening 53, and a cover 70 that opens and closes the opening 53. For example, the operating portion 73 and the positioning protrusion 72 of the cover 70 and the positioning member 56 of the housing may be omitted.

[0066] Either or both of the first notch 54 and the second notch 55 of the housing 50 may be omitted.

[0067] Either or both of the first recess 57 and the second recess 58 of the positioning member 56 may be omitted.

[0068] The first recess 57, the second recess 58, and the positioning protrusion 72 may be configured so that no gaps 81, 82 are formed when the cover 70 is in the closed position P1 or the open position P2. In other words, the inner surface of the first recess 57 or the second recess 58 and the outer shape of the positioning protrusion 72 may be substantially the same.

[0069] The dimension of the cover main body 71 in the second direction may be approximately uniform.

[0070] It is possible to omit either or both of the first guide protrusion 75 and the second guide protrusion 76 of the cover 70. In this case, it is also possible to omit the first groove portion 561 and the second groove portion 562 of the positioning member 56.

[0071] The protrusion 77 of the cover 70 may be omitted.

[0072] Any of the various embodiments or modifications described above can be combined appropriately to achieve the effects of each. In addition, combinations of embodiments, combinations of examples, or combinations of embodiments and examples are possible, and combinations of features from different embodiments or examples are also possible.
