Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention prevents excessive insertion of a keyboard in a structure in which a keyboard connector is electrically connected to a connector attached to a board in an information processing device through the main body insertion hole. Regarding the structure to prevent.

[Conventional technology and its issues]

Conventionally, the structure was such that the connector attached to the board inside the information processing device and the keyboard connector collided to prevent excessive insertion.
There was a problem in that excessive force was applied to the keyboard input device, potentially damaging the connector and the board.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the structure of the present invention has the following features:
As shown in the figure, in a structure in which the connector 1a of the keyboard 1 is electrically connected to the connector 7 attached to the board 6 in the information processing device 8 through the main body insertion port 9, the main body insertion port 9 of the information processing device 8 is opposite to the connector 1a. The panels 2 and 3 are rotatably supported by springs 4, respectively, and inserted into the main body insertion opening 9 from the connector 1a side of the keyboard 1, and the panels 2 and 3 are supported against the spring force of the springs 4. When rotated, each panel 2,
3 is in contact with the pin 5, and the keyboard 1
The engaging portion 11 is formed by increasing the width of the anti-connector side portion with respect to the connector 1a side portion to form a step, and engages at an angle 10 of the anti-connector side portion due to this step.
is provided on one panel 3.

[Effect]

When the connector 1a side of the keyboard 1 is inserted into the main body insertion slot 9 of the information processing device 8, both panels 2,
3 rotates against the spring force of spring 4 and comes into contact with each pin 5. In this state, the keyboard 1 is guided and inserted, and the connector 1a of the keyboard 1 is electrically connected to the connector 7 attached to the board 6 in the information processing device 8. In this joined state, the corner portion 10 of the keyboard 1 is engaged with the engaging portion 11 of one panel 3, thereby preventing further insertion of the keyboard 1.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1A to 1C are explanatory diagrams showing a state before inserting a keyboard, a state in the middle of insertion, and a state after insertion, respectively, in an embodiment of the structure of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an information processing device and a keyboard according to the present invention. FIG.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a keyboard having a connector 1a, 8 is an information processing device, and 9 is an insertion slot for the main body. Upper and lower panels 2 and 3 are rotatably supported by spring hinges 4 at upper and lower opposing portions of the main body insertion opening 9, respectively. Information processing device 8
Inside, when the keyboard 1 is inserted from the connector 1a side into the main body insertion slot 9 and the upper and lower panels 2 and 3 are rotated against the spring force of the spring hinge 4, each panel 2 and 3 is A contacting pin 5 is provided.

In addition, a step is formed at the lower center of the keyboard 1 by making the width of the part on the side opposite to the connector larger than that on the side of the connector 1a, and a corner part 10 is provided in the part on the side opposite to the connector due to this step. 10
An engaging portion 11 that engages with the lower panel 5 is provided on the lower panel 5.

In the above configuration, the upper panel 2 and the lower panel 3 are in a fixed position so as to close the main body insertion opening 9 by their respective spring hinges 4 (see FIG. 1a). When the connector 1a side of the keyboard 1 is inserted into the main body insertion slot 9 in this state, the upper and lower panels 2 and 3 rotate against the spring hinge 4 and open inward, as shown in Figure 1b. contact each pin 5. In this state, the keyboard 1 is guided and inserted while the upper and lower sides of the keyboard 1 are in sliding contact with the upper and lower panels 2 and 3, and the keyboard 1 is inserted into the connector 7 attached to the board 6 in the information processing device 8. The connector 1a will be electrically connected.

In the process of reaching this bonded state, on the keyboard 1,
The connector 1a of the keyboard 1 is electrically connected to the connector 7 attached to the board 6 by being guided while the lower side is in sliding contact with the upper and lower panels 2 and 3 which are in contact with the pin 5. 1a
The positional relationship between the connector 7 and the board 6 is now accurate.
Moreover, in the joined state, the corner portion 10 of the keyboard 1 engages with the engaging portion 11 of the lower panel 3 to prevent further insertion of the keyboard 1, so that excessive insertion of the keyboard 1 can be prevented.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the keyboard 1 is guided while sliding on both the panels 2 and 3 that are in contact with the pins 5, and the connector 1a of the keyboard 1 is electrically connected to the connector 7 attached to the board 6. Since the connector 1a of the keyboard 1 and the connector 7 of the board 6 are connected, the positional relationship between the connector 1a of the keyboard 1 and the connector 7 of the board 6 becomes accurate.
a and 7 are stable, and in the joined state, the corner part 10 of the keyboard is connected to the engaging part 1 of one panel 3.
1 and prevents further insertion of the keyboard 1, it is possible to prevent excessive insertion of the keyboard 1, and damage the board 6 and connectors 1a and 7 due to excessive insertion.
damage can be prevented.
