Abstract

A shield case includes a first shield member and a second shield member coupled to the first shield member to form the shield case. A concave portion is capable of accommodating a sealing member for sealing inner space of the shield case by contacting the first shield member and the second shield member, and is formed on the second shield member. On each of the first shield member and the second shield member, a paint film portion is formed on an area of the shield case external to the concave portion. On the first shield member or the second shield member or combination thereof, a convex portion is formed on the area of the shield case on the inner space side and internal to the concave portion. The surfaces of the first shield member and the second shield member contact each other at the convex portion.

Claims (47)

1. A shield case, comprising:

a first shield member; and

a second shield member coupled to the first shield member to form the shield case, wherein:

a concave portion capable of accommodating a sealing member for sealing inner space of the shield case by contacting the first shield member and the second shield member is formed on the second shield member;

on each of the first shield member and the second shield member, a paint film portion is formed on an area of the shield case external to the concave portion;

on the first shield member or the second shield member or combination thereof, a convex portion is formed on an area that is closer to the inner space of the shield case than the concave portion; and

surfaces of the first shield member and the second shield member contact each other at the convex portion.

2. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein

the convex portion is formed to include a thickness equal to or larger than a thickness obtained by adding a thickness of the paint film portion of the first shield member and a thickness of the paint film portion of the second shield member.

3. The shield case according to claim 2 , wherein

the convex portion is formed to have a thickness equal to or larger than a thickness obtained by adding a thickness of the paint film portion of the first shield member and a thickness of the paint film portion of the second shield member, and formed to have the thickness that allows the sealing member to contact the first shield member and the second shield member.

4. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein

the convex portion is formed along the sealing member on the inner periphery of the sealing member.

5. The shield case according to claim 4 , wherein

the convex portion is formed along the sealing member all over the inner periphery of the sealing member.

6. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein:

one of the first shield member and the second shield member is a body unit of the shield case;

another of the first shield member and the second shield member is a cover unit of the shield case.

7. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein

one of the first shield member and the second shield member is a connector unit.

8. The shield case according to claim 7 , wherein:

the connector unit includes a flange unit; and

the sealing member is arranged at a contact surface between the flange unit and the other of the first shield member and the second member that is coupled to the connector unit.

9. A communication device, comprising:

a first shield member:

a second shield member coupled to the first shield member to form a shield case; and

a substrate provided with an electronic circuit and arranged in a inner space of the shield case, wherein:

a concave portion capable of accommodating a sealing member for sealing inner space of the shield case by contacting the first shield member and the second shield member is formed on the second shield member;

on each of the first shield member and the second shield member, a paint film portion is formed on an area of the shield case external to the concave portion;

on the first shield member or the second shield member or combination thereof, a convex portion is formed on an area that is closer to the inner space of the shield case than the concave portion; and

surfaces of the first shield member and the second shield member contact each other at the convex portion.

10. The communication device according to claim 9 , wherein

the convex portion is formed to have a thickness equal to or larger than a thickness obtained by adding a thickness of the paint film portion of the first shield member and a thickness of the paint film portion of the second shield member.

11. The communication device according to claim 10 , wherein

the convex portion is formed to have a thickness equal to or larger than a thickness obtained by adding a thickness of the paint film portion of the first shield member and a thickness of the paint film portion of the second shield member, and formed to have the thickness that allows the sealing member to contact the first shield member and the second shield member.

12. The communication device according to claim 9 , wherein

the convex portion is formed along the sealing member on the inner periphery of the sealing member.

13. The communication device according to claim 12 , wherein

the convex portion is formed along the sealing member all over the inner periphery of the sealing member.

14. The communication device according to claim 9 , wherein:

one of the first shield member and the second shield member is a body unit of the shield case;

another of the first shield member and the second shield member is a cover unit of the shield case.

15. The communication device according to claim 9 , wherein

one of the first shield member and the second shield member is a connector unit.

16. The communication device according to claim 15 , wherein:

the connector unit includes a flange unit; and

the sealing member is arranged at a contact surface between the flange unit and the other of the first shield member and the second member that is coupled to the connector unit.
