The bracket part includes a first bracket part and a second bracket part to which the first bracket part is slidably attached. The first bracket part is slid with respect to the second bracket part, and when the bracket part is at a close position, the first bracket part fixes the substrate by pressing the substrate in a slide direction and an approximately vertical direction, and the unit body part is fixed to the bracket part.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a U.S. continuation application filed under 35 USC 111(a) claiming benefit under 35 USC 120 and 365(c) of PCT application JP2008/056141, filed on Mar. 28, 2008. The foregoing application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD The present invention generally relates to an electronic apparatus, an assembly structure of an electronic unit, and a bracket.
BACKGROUND Regarding an electronic apparatus such as an information processing apparatus as represented by a personal computer, multiproduct production by built-to-order manufacturing has been required. For example, for a so-called desktop-type information processing apparatus, in response to a request for minimizing the apparatus, use of a thin type optical disk drive having a thickness of 12.7 mm or 9.5 mm has begun, instead of an optical disk drive having a thickness of 5 inches (12.7 cm). In order to increase storage density of the information processing apparatus, a combination of the optical disk drive having the thickness of 5 inches (12.7 cm) together with the thin type optical disk drive having the thickness of 12.7 mm or 9.5 mm is applied in practical use.
SUMMARY According to an aspect of the embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a substrate; a unit body part on whose lateral surface the substrate is provided; and a bracket part configured to retain the unit body part, the bracket part including; a first bracket part; and a second bracket part to which the first bracket part is slidably attached, wherein the first bracket part is slid with respect to the second bracket part, and when the bracket part is at a close position, the first bracket part fixes the substrate by pressing the substrate in a slide direction and an approximately vertical direction, and the unit body part is fixed to the bracket part.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1A is a perspective view of an electronic unit mounted on a so-called desktop-type of a personal computer, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken on line A-A depicted in FIG. 1A;
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT In the following, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As an example of an electronic apparatus, an electronic unit, which is mounted inside a housing of an information processing apparatus such as a so-called desktop-type a personal computer and in which an optical disk drive is mounted, will be illustrated in the embodiment.
Furthermore, as described above, an opening width in a longitudinal direction of the opening part 86-1 for the stopper parts 61-1 is set to be slightly longer than an opening width in a longitudinal direction of the opening part 86-2 for the stopper parts 61-2. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 10, a length �b� between an edge part at the lateral surface 63 of the opening part 86-1 and the second lateral surface 84 of the second bracket part 80 is set to be shorter than a length �a� between an edge part of the lateral surface 63 of the opening part 86-2 and the second lateral surface 84 of the second bracket part 80. FIG. 10A is a plan view of the bracket part 100 (refer to FIG. 4). FIG. 10B is an enlarged view of a portion indicated by a dashed line D in FIG. 10A.
In the modification illustrated in FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B, an opening width in a longitudinal direction of the opening part 86-3 is set to be equal to an opening width in a longitudinal direction of the opening part 86-4. However, a length �d� of an edge part of the stopper part 61-3 is set to be shorter than a length �c� of an edge part of a stopper part 61-4. Accordingly, a movement amount of the stopper part 61-3 of the first bracket part 60′, which moves within the opening part 86-3 of the second bracket part 80′, is greater than a movement amount of the stopper part 61-4 of the first bracket part 60′, which moves within the opening part 86-4 of the second bracket part 80′.
In this modification, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first bracket part 60, which has a shape made of thin sheet metal or the like and easily produced, is provided to be piled on the second bracket part 80. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, in a concave part �X� within the unit body part 40, the wall parts 64-1 and 64-2, the stopper parts 61-1 and 61-2, and the claw parts 62-1 through 62-3, and the like of the first bracket part 60, and the opening parts 87-1 and 87-2, the opening parts 86-1 and 86-2, the opening parts 85-1 through 85-3, and the like of the second bracket part 80 are positioned.
First, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, the first bracket part 60 inclines with respect to the second bracket part 80. The first bracket part 60 is piled on and attached to the second bracket part 80 (an �open position� in claims).
Finally, as indicated in FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B, the substrate pressing surface 66 of the first bracket part 60 enters between the claw part 88 of the second bracket part 80 and the conversion substrate 50. The conversion substrate 50 is also fixed by the substrate fixing surface 67 of the first bracket part 60. Accordingly, in a state fixing the unit body part 40, it is possible to fix the conversion substrate 50 without looseness occurring at a connector portion of the conversion substrate 50 (a �close position� in claims).
