Abstract

An electronic device includes: a battery; a fixing member coupled to the battery; a printed board partially fixed to the fixing member; and a housing that houses the battery, the fixing member, and the printed board, the battery being fixed to the housing.

Claims (32)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a battery;

a fixing member coupled to the battery;

a printed board partially fixed to the fixing member;

a housing that houses the battery, the fixing member, and the printed board, the battery being fixed to the housing;

a display provided on the side opposite to the printed board; and

a support plate that supports the printed board and is provided so as not to be in contact with a surface of the display,

the battery is fixed on a first side surface of the fixing member and the printed board is fixed on a second side surface of the fixing member opposite to the first side surface.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the printed board includes a heat generating component, and the fixing member holds the printed board at a distance from the display.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the housing includes a frame-shaped front cover exposing a screen of the display and includes a rear cover positioned opposite to the front cover, the battery is fixed to the front cover.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein a first coupling part electrically coupling the printed board to another electronic component, and the first coupling part is positioned between the battery and the rear cover.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of an antenna, a camera, a switch, and a connector is arranged inside the frame-shaped front cover.

6. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein a rigidity of the front cover is higher than a rigidity of the rear cover.

7. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the battery and the printed board are arranged side by side in a plane direction of the printed board.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate

secures a space between the display and the printed board.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the support plate are secured to at least two edges of the printed board which are perpendicular to each other.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate is in contact with a surface of the printed board which faces the display and supports the printed board at an edge of the printed board.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing member includes an opening part for a second coupling part configured to electrically coupling the battery to the printed board.

12. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery includes a planer face, and a side face, and the fixing member is fixed to the side face of the battery.

13. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the printed board is partially fixed to the housing.

14. An electronic device comprising:

a housing, within the housing:

a battery with a fixing member;

a support plate;

a printed board provided between the fixing member and the support plate, the printed board being supported by the fixing member and the support plate; and

a display provided on the side opposite to the printed board,

wherein the battery is fixed on a first side surface of the fixing member and the printed board is fixed a second side surface of the fixing member opposite to the first side surface,

wherein the support plate supports the printed board and is provided so as not to be in contact with a surface of the display.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the support plate is in contact with a surface of the printed board which faces the display and supports the printed board at an edge of the printed board.

16. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the support plate supports at least two edges of the printed board, the at least two edges facing the display.

17. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein the support plate supports a connector board.
