Electronic apparatus having microphone
An electronic apparatus is disclosed. An electronic apparatus comprises an inner chassis, a microphone that is disposed inside the inner chassis and has a sound collecting surface for obtaining voice, and an outer casing that covers an outside of the inner chassis. The inner chassis includes a sound passing hole penetrating the inner chassis in such a position as to face the sound collecting surface. The outer casing includes an inner surface that faces the inner chassis and an edge that faces the inner chassis with a gap between the inner chassis and the edge. The inner surface includes a sound passing groove that communicates with the sound passing hole. The sound passing groove extends to the edge.
1. An electronic apparatus having a microphone, comprising:
an inner chassis comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the second surface comprises a projecting portion that projects from the second surface;
a microphone that comprises a sound collecting surface facing the first surface of the inner chassis; and
an outer casing that covers at least a portion of the second surface of the inner chassis,
wherein the inner chassis includes an inner sound passing hole penetrating from the second surface to the first surface of the inner chassis in such a position as to face the sound collecting surface,
wherein the outer casing includes an inner surface that faces the at least a portion of the second surface of the inner chassis, and an edge that extends towards, but does not abut, at least a portion of the projecting portion of the second surface of the inner chassis such that a gap is disposed between the edge and the at least a portion of the projecting portion,
wherein the inner surface of the outer casing includes a sound passing groove that extends from the gap to the inner sound passing hole of the inner chassis to form a first sound path from the gap through the inner sound passing hole to the sound collecting surface.
2. The electronic apparatus having a microphone according to claim 1 , wherein the outer casing includes an outer sound passing hole penetrating from an outside surface, the outer casing to the inner surface of the outer casing in such a position as to face the inner sound passing hole in the inner chassis to form a second sound path from the outer sound passing hole through the sound passing hole to the sound collecting surface.
3. The electronic apparatus having a microphone according to claim 1 , wherein the sound passing groove has a shape with a width increasing toward the edge.
4. The electronic apparatus having a microphone according to claim 1 , wherein the microphone is a microphone for noise cancelling and is provided on a back surface side of the electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus further comprising a microphone for transmission on a front surface side of the electronic apparatus.
