Electronic device
View Patent ↗There is provided an electronic device having a terminal port disposed at a side surface of a casing and opened outward; and a lid that openably covers the terminal port. The terminal port includes: a back wall on which connection terminals are mounted; a bottom wall; and a pair of side walls. The lid includes a slide support that is supported slidably inward and outward along the bottom wall and a lid main body that is turnably supported at the outer edge of the slide support by a hinge. The slide support is located at its initial position at which the slide support slides inward when the lid is closed. The slide support is allowed to slide outward and the hinge is located outward of the outer edge of the bottom wall when the lid is opened.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a casing having, at an outer surface thereof, an upper surface and a lower surface that are disposed opposite to each other, and side surfaces for joining peripheral edges of the upper and lower surfaces;
a terminal port disposed at the side surface of the casing and opened outward of the casing; and
a lid configured to openably covers the terminal port, wherein
the terminal port includes a back wall on which connection terminals are mounted, a bottom wall extending from the bottom edge of the back wall outward of the casing, and a pair of side walls connecting a side edge of the bottom wall and a side edge of the back wall to each other,
the lid includes a slide support that is supported slidably inward and outward of the casing along the bottom wall, and a lid main body turnably supported at an outer edge of the slide support by a hinge, and
the slide support is located at its initial position at which the slide support slides inward when the lid is closed, whereas the slide support is allowed to slide outward and the hinge is located outward of an outer edge of the bottom wall when the lid is opened.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a lid cover disposed slidably in a direction substantially parallel to the back wall of the terminal port along an outer surface of the lid main body, wherein
a lock member to be locked in a vicinity of the back wall when the lid is closed is disposed in a vicinity of an inner edge of the lid cover, and
the lid cover is allowed to slide in the direction substantially parallel to the back wall when the lid is opened, releasing the locked state with respect to the vicinity of the back wall of the lock member.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the side wall of the terminal port includes a guide for guiding the turning operation of the lid main body.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the lid main body is provided with a sealing member for sealing the connection terminal under pressure onto the back wall of the terminal port in the state in which the lid is closed.
