Waterproof structure and electronic equipment
[0001]
The present invention relates to a waterproof structure between a first case and a diaphragm that
doubles as a display panel provided opposite to the first case, and to an electronic device
provided with the waterproof structure.
[0002]
In general, a panel speaker has a configuration that can emit a sound by vibrating a panel or a
housing by a drive source such as an actuator, so it seems that it is suitable for waterproofing
without the need for a sound output hole.
However, in fact, in order to vibrate a panel and a housing ¦ casing, it was not possible to fix

these firmly and to take an airtight structure was difficult. Therefore, as shown in Patent
Document 1, for example, as a flat panel speaker mounting structure, the diaphragm is attached
to an actuator module at a predetermined site, and is attached to the front case through a framelike gasket member made of silicone rubber. It is attached and configured. The gasket members
are respectively adhered to the mounting surfaces of the diaphragm and the front case via a
frame-shaped double-sided adhesive sheet, thereby preventing the entry of moisture or the like
without disturbing the vibration of the diaphragm. Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2006166029
[0003]
However, in Patent Document 1 described above, since the diaphragm, the gasket member, and
the front case are bonded by the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, there is a
problem that the thickness is large and the number of parts increases. Furthermore, the gasket
member needs to have the dual role of holding the diaphragm while expanding and contracting,
and in terms of holding the diaphragm, the gasket member also needs to be adhesive to the
double-sided tape, which is realistic It was difficult to meet all the requirements. Further, in the
structure of Patent Document 1, when considering full-scale waterproofing, it is also necessary to
consider a waterproof structure between the front case and the rear cover. The present invention
has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to
reduce the number of parts, simplify the structure and reduce the thickness, and provide a
waterproof structure and an electronic device with high waterproof performance.

drawings.
However, although various limitations preferable for carrying out the present invention are given
to the embodiments described below, the scope of the invention is not limited to the following
embodiments and the illustrated examples.
In the following description, the waterproof structure of the present invention is applied to a
foldable mobile phone (electronic device).
First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a display unit side housing 100, FIG. 2 is an
exploded perspective view of the display unit side housing 100, and FIG. 3 is along a cutting line
III-III in FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. 1.
In the following description, the vertical direction will be described with reference to FIG.
A foldable mobile phone (not shown) has a display unit side case 100 having a display unit 7
including a liquid crystal display etc. and an operation unit side case (not shown) provided with
operation key groups by a hinge structure. It is connected rotatably.
