Next, the dustproof sheet 3 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 8 to 13. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the dustproof sheet 3 is typically made of a grill-side double-sided tape 11 and a low water-repellent sheet. The sheet 12, the double-sided tape for lamination 13, and the highly water-repellent sheet 14 are stacked in this order to be integrated. In this state, the speaker grill 9 is attached to the inner surface 9a of the grill of the front panel 2. . However, for the sake of convenience, in FIG. 8, only the grill-side double-sided tape 11 is shown as being connected to the speaker grill 9. By overlapping the two, the shape of the grill-side double-sided tape 11 is explained. By showing only the water-repellent sheet 12 overlapping the speaker grill 9, the shape of the low water-repellent sheet 12 can be clearly seen. explain. FIG. 8 shows the state in which the grill-side double-sided tape 11 is placed on the speaker grill 9. As shown in FIG. 8, the grill-side double-sided tape 11 surrounds the plurality of slits 10 and is That is, the grill-side double-sided tape 11 is formed in a U-shape that opens toward the drainage side. a first tape portion 11a located on one side of the groove 15 in the width direction and extending in the vertical direction; and a drainage groove. The second tape portion 11b is located on the other side of the first tape portion 15 in the width direction and extends in the vertical direction. and a third tape portion 11c connecting the upper end of the tape portion 11a and the upper end of the second tape portion 11b. In short, the grill-side double-sided tape 11 has a plurality of slits 10 and drainage grooves 15 and a front and rear The shape is formed in the range excluding the plurality of slits 10 and the drain groove 15 so as not to face each other in the direction as much as possible. It has been completed. FIG. 9 shows a state in which a low water-repellent sheet 12 is placed on the speaker grill 9. As shown in FIG. 1, the low water-repellent sheet 12 is formed so as not to impede the function of the plurality of slits 10 as sound passages. The low water-repellent sheet 1 has a plurality of openings 18 corresponding to the plurality of slits 10. 2 includes a plurality of opposing portions 19 that are opposed to a plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a of the drain groove 15 in the front-rear direction. The plurality of openings 18 and the plurality of facing portions 19 are positioned alternately in the vertical direction. 9 includes an opposing portion 19a facing the thin portion 16a, an opposing portion 19b facing the thin portion 16b, and a thin The laminated laminate includes an opposing portion 19c facing the thick portion 16c and an opposing portion 19d facing the thin portion 16d. The shape of the double-sided adhesive tape 13 is the same as that of the low water-repellent sheet 12, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 10 shows a rear view of the speaker grill assembly 100. In this way, the highly water-repellent sheet 14 is disposed so as to cover the plurality of slits 10. The drain grooves 15 extend from the inside to the outside of the outer periphery 3a of the dustproof sheet 3. The drain groove 15 has an exposed portion 15 b that is not covered by the dustproof sheet 3 . 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in FIG. 10. In FIG. 11, all components constituting the dustproof sheet 3 are The thickness of all the components is emphasized. As shown in FIG. 11, the dustproof sheet 3 has a plurality of slits 10 facing each other in the front-rear direction. The plurality of slit opposing portions 20 and the plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a of the drain grooves 15 are arranged in the front-rear direction. The drainage groove facing portions 21 are made up of a plurality of thin-walled portions. 16 in the front-rear direction. The portions 21 are alternately positioned in the vertical direction. Each slit facing portion 20 has a single layer structure consisting of only the highly water-repellent sheet 14. The slit grill facing surface 20a of the slit facing portion 20 on the speaker grill 9 side is made of a highly water-repellent sheet. The slits 20 correspond to the surface of the speaker grill 9 of the port 14. The contact angle between the slit grille facing surface 20a and water is equal to the contact angle between the highly water-repellent sheet 14 and water. stomach. Each drain groove facing portion 21 is made of a highly water-repellent sheet 14, a double-sided tape for lamination 13, and a low water-repellent sheet 12. Therefore, the drain groove grooves on the speaker grill 9 side of each drain groove facing portion 21 are The grill-facing surface 21a corresponds to the surface of the low water-repellent sheet 12 on the speaker grill 9 side. Therefore, the contact angle between the drain groove grill facing surface 21a of each drain groove facing portion 21 and water is 12 is equal to the contact angle with water. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the drain groove grill opposing surface 21a of each drain groove opposing portion 21 and the water The contact angle θ1 between the slit grille-facing surface 20a of each slit-facing portion 20 and water is Therefore, the dustproof sheet 3 provided on the speaker grill 9 functions as a sound path. This allows both the functionality and drainage of the speaker grill 9 to be achieved. This technical effect will be explained in detail with reference to the following. As shown in FIG. 12, water entering from the outside of the speaker grill 9 through each slit 10 When the adhesive agent adheres to the slit grill facing surface 20a of each slit facing portion 20, the adhesive agent adheres to the slit grill facing surface 20a. Due to the water repellency of the opposing surface 20a, the water droplets W become nearly spherical. The slit grill facing surface 20a is unlikely to be covered with a film of water. The function of the facing portion 20 as a sound passage is not impaired. On the other hand, water that has entered the speaker grill 9 from the outside through each slit 10 is discharged through each drain groove. When the dust adheres to the drain groove grill facing surface 21a of the facing portion 21, the dust adheres to the drain groove grill facing surface 20a of the facing portion 21. The water droplets W spread in a gentle hill-like shape due to the water content. The water droplets W adhering to the grill-facing surface 21a simultaneously come into contact with the corresponding inner bottom surface 15a of the drain groove 15. This is because the thickness Wd of the water droplet W in the front-to-rear direction is suppressed. Please refer to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 shows a comparative example of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in the comparative example, the highly water-repellent sheet 14 and the plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a of the drain grooves 15 are That is, the highly water-repellent sheet 14 and the plurality of thin-walled portions 16 face each other in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the water repellency of the highly water-repellent sheet 14 prevents the balls from adhering to the highly water-repellent sheet 14. The water droplet W having a shape similar to the shape of the water droplet W is thick in the front-rear direction, so it contacts both the thin-walled portions 16 at the same time. When the water droplets W come into contact with the highly water-repellent sheet 14 and any of the thin-walled portions 16 at the same time, the water droplets W Even if vertical vibration is applied to W, it will not be drained along the drain groove 15 and will tend to remain in place. become. In contrast, referring back to FIG. 12, in this embodiment, the drain groove grill facing surface of each drain groove facing portion 21 Since the water droplets W adhering to the drain groove 15 are unlikely to come into contact with the inner surface of the drain groove 15 at the same time, This means that the speaker grill 9 has high drainage properties. The water droplets W that have moved downward via the drain groove 15 shown in FIG. The air moves from the exposed portion 15b of the air filter 15 into the housing 8 of the handheld transceiver 1, and is then passed through a drainage pipe (not shown). The signal is then discharged to the outside of the handheld transceiver 1 via a path. As shown in FIG. 12, the dust particles adhering to the drain groove grill facing surface 21a of each drain groove facing portion 21 Since the thickness Wd of the water droplet W in the front-rear direction is suppressed, the water droplet W is easily discharged from each drain groove opposing portion 21. The water channel grill opposing surface 21a and the inner bottom surface 15a of the drain groove 15 should not be in contact with each other at the same time. There is no need to form the drain groove 15 deep, and the entire handheld transceiver 1 This contributes to compactness in the front-to-rear direction. The preferred embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, and the above embodiment has the following features. The speaker grill assembly 100 has a plurality of slits 10 extending parallel to each other. a front panel 2 having a speaker grill 9 formed thereon; and and a dustproof sheet 3 that covers a predetermined area including at least the plurality of slits 10. The front panel 2 extends so as to intersect with a plurality of slits 10 on the inner surface of the front panel 2. The bottom surface of the drainage groove 15 is divided by a plurality of slits 10. The inner surface of the front panel 2 of the dustproof sheet 3 is divided into a plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a. On the surface facing the slits 10, a plurality of slit facing portions are provided at positions facing the slits 10, respectively. 20 and a plurality of drain groove facing portions 21 at positions facing the plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a, respectively. The contact angle θ1 between each drain groove facing portion 21 and water is According to the above configuration, each slit facing portion 20 is covered with a water film. Therefore, the function of the plurality of slit opposing portions 20 as a sound path is not impaired, In addition, the water droplets W adhering to the opposing portions 21 of the drain grooves are simultaneously dropped onto the corresponding inner bottom surfaces 15a of the drain grooves 15. Therefore, the water droplets W adhering to the drain groove opposing portions 21 are easily discharged. The dustproof sheet 3 provided on the speaker grill 9 functions as a sound path and It is possible to achieve both drainage performance of 9. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the speaker grill assembly 100 includes a speaker grill The speaker grill 9 is positioned opposite the speaker 4. The speaker grill 9 has a plurality of slits 10 formed therein, which extend parallel to one another. The speaker grill 9 has a grill inner surface 9a facing the speaker 4 and a grill inner surface 9b facing the speaker 4. The dustproof sheet 3 covers the plurality of slits 10. As shown in Figs. 5 to 7, the grill inner surface 9a is bonded to the grill inner surface 9a. A drain groove 15 is formed so as to extend so as to intersect with the plurality of slits 10. The drain groove 15 is 11, the inner bottom surface 15a is divided by a plurality of slits 10. As shown, the dustproof sheet 3 has a plurality of slit facing portions 2 that face the plurality of slits 10. 0, a plurality of drain groove opposing portions 21 respectively opposing the plurality of inner bottom surfaces 15a of the drain grooves 15, The plurality of slit facing portions 20 and the plurality of drainage groove facing portions 21 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the drainage groove 15. As shown in FIG. 12, the speaker grooves of the drain groove facing portions 21 are arranged alternately along the The contact angle θ1 between the drain groove grill facing surface 21a on the slit 9 side and water is This is smaller than the contact angle θ2 between the surface 20a of the slit grille facing the speaker grille 9 and water. According to the above-mentioned configuration, the slit grill facing surface 20a of each slit facing portion 20 is not easily damaged by water. Since it is difficult to cover the slits in a film-like manner, the function of the slit opposing portions 20 as a sound path is impaired. Furthermore, water droplets W adhering to the drain groove grill opposing surface 21a of each drain groove opposing portion 21 are not discharged. Since it is difficult for the water groove 15 to come into contact with the corresponding inner bottom surface 15a at the same time, the drain groove grill opposing surface 21 Therefore, the dustproof sheet provided on the speaker grill 9 is This allows the speaker grill 9 to function as a sound passage while providing drainage. As shown in FIG. 11, the dustproof sheet 3 is made of a mesh-like highly water-repellent sheet 14 (first sheet). The water-repellent sheet 14 includes a low-water-repellent sheet 12 (second sheet) that is overlaid on the highly water-repellent sheet 14. The dust sheet 3 is configured such that the low water-repellent sheet 12 is positioned between the high water-repellent sheet 14 and the speaker grill 9. At each slit facing portion 20, a highly water-repellent sheet is bonded to the inner surface of the grill 9a. The holes 14 are not covered by the low water-repellent sheet 12 and are exposed on the speaker grill 9 side. In the drain groove facing portion 21, the highly water-repellent sheet 14 is covered with the low water-repellent sheet 12. According to this configuration, different contact angles can be achieved in parts of the dustproof sheet 3 at low cost. Instead of forming the dustproof sheet 3 into a multi-layer structure as in the above embodiment, the dustproof sheet 3 In this case, the contact angle between the dustproof sheet 3 and water may be different at each portion. In addition, different surface treatments may be applied to different parts of the dustproof sheet 3 . As shown in FIG. 6, the speaker grill 9 has a thickness The slits 10 are adjacent to the drainage groove 15 and are alternately positioned in the longitudinal direction of the drainage groove 15. The plurality of thin-walled portions 16 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the drain groove 15. The thin portion 16c (first thin portion) and the thin portion 16d (second thin portion) are adjacent to each other. The portion 16c is formed so as to become thinner as it approaches the thin-walled portion 16d. According to this configuration, a water film is unlikely to form in the slit 10 between the thin-walled portion 16c and the thin-walled portion 16d. The same applies to the other slits 10. Therefore, the sound of the multiple slits 10 Its function as a road will not be impaired. As shown in FIG. 10, the drain groove 15 is formed from the inside to the outside of the outer periphery 3a of the dustproof sheet 3.
