Abstract

An electronic device includes a first housing component including a first surface and a second surface and including a first through hole which connects the first surface and the second surface to each other, a second housing component removably attached to the first housing component, and an acoustic component located on a first side of the first through hole. The first housing component and the second housing component as being combined with each other define a passage which communicates with the outside. The first housing component includes a third surface. The second housing component includes a fourth surface. On one of the third surface and the fourth surface, a rib which protrudes to abut on the other is located. The rib is located to separate a region including the first through hole from other portions.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first housing component including a first surface which faces a first side and a second surface which faces a second side and including a first through hole which connects the first surface and the second surface to each other;

a second housing component removably attached to the second side of the first housing component; and

an acoustic component located on the first side of the first through hole,

the first housing component and the second housing component as being combined with each other defining a passage which communicates with outside from an end on the second side of the first through hole, the first housing component including a third surface which faces the second side, the second housing component including a fourth surface opposed to the third surface, a rib being located on one of the third surface and the fourth surface, the rib protruding to abut on the other of the third surface and the fourth surface, and the rib being located to separate a region including the first through hole from other portion.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the rib is in a U shape or an L shape when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a surface where the rib is located.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the rib is formed of an elastic material.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

a waterproof film is located between the first through hole and the acoustic component.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second housing component includes a first opening which opens to the outside and the passage communicates with the outside through the first opening.
