在下文中，将根据附图详细叙述本发明的实施例。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

图1是根据实施例的电子装置的透视图；图2是主视图；图3是左视图；图4是右视图；图5是后视图；图6是俯视图；图7是仰视图。所述电子装置可以水平和垂直放置。所述电子装置由大致椭圆的柱状主壳体10和大致盒状基座52构成，其中在电子装置水平放置状态下，主壳体10水平设置，基座52和主壳体10的下部相连。基座52通过侧壁支撑主壳体10，基座52的内侧和主壳体10的内侧连通。主壳体10设置得使其纵向和设定面相水平。电子装置的信息处理装置、信息储存装置、各种媒介驱动装置等均容纳在主壳体10和基座52中的其中一个内，或者分别设在它们两个之内或之上。尤其是，矩形电路板等有效地容纳在基座52内。1 is a perspective view of an electronic device according to an embodiment; FIG. 2 is a front view; FIG. 3 is a left view; FIG. 4 is a right view; The electronic device can be placed horizontally and vertically. The electronic device is composed of a roughly elliptical cylindricalmain casing 10 and a roughly box-shaped base 52 , where themain casing 10 is horizontally arranged when the electronic device is placed horizontally, and thebase 52 is connected to the lower part of themain casing 10 . Thebase 52 supports themain casing 10 through side walls, and the inside of thebase 52 communicates with the inside of themain casing 10 . Themain casing 10 is arranged such that its longitudinal direction is horizontal to the set surface. The information processing device, information storage device, and various media drive devices of the electronic device are accommodated in one of themain casing 10 and thebase 52 , or are respectively arranged in or on both of them. In particular, a rectangular circuit board or the like is efficiently housed within thebase 52 .

在基座52的前方形成前裙部64。前裙部64的下部悬在前方，因而在放置电子装置时改进了其美观性和稳定性。而且，在前裙部64之上设有多个USB接口74，在每一USB接口74右侧设有指示灯74a(例如LED)，在USB接口74操作时所述指示灯被打开。因此，USB接口74在操作时可以通知用户。且，在操作或休眠(待机)过程中，该电子装置可以为连接到USB接口74的外部设备(例如，具有电池组的控制器)充电。此外，在电池充电时，指示灯74a以一种颜色打开通知用户处于充电状态，当电池充满时，指示灯74a的颜色发生变化，以便于通知用户电池已经充满。Afront skirt 64 is formed in front of thebase 52 . The lower portion of thefront skirt 64 overhangs the front, thereby improving the aesthetics and stability of the electronic device when it is placed. Moreover, a plurality ofUSB ports 74 are provided on thefront skirt 64, and anindicator light 74a (such as an LED) is provided on the right side of eachUSB port 74, and said indicator light is turned on when theUSB port 74 is in operation. Therefore, theUSB interface 74 can notify the user when it is operating. Also, during operation or hibernation (standby), the electronic device can charge an external device (eg, a controller with a battery pack) connected to theUSB interface 74 . In addition, when the battery is charging, theindicator light 74a turns on in one color to inform the user that it is in the charging state, and when the battery is fully charged, the color of theindicator light 74a changes to inform the user that the battery is fully charged.

基座52的横向和纵向尺寸比主壳体10的横向和纵向尺寸窄。基座52已如下方式连接，即其左侧大致和主壳体10的左侧平齐。因此，基座52设置得使其前面、右侧面和背面109分别位于主壳体10的边缘内侧。The lateral and longitudinal dimensions of thebase 52 are narrower than those of themain housing 10 .Base 52 has been attached in such a way that its left side is approximately flush with the left side ofmain housing 10 . Therefore, thebase 52 is arranged such that its front, right side andrear side 109 are located inside the edge of themain housing 10, respectively.

如图3和4所示，前侧悬置部69位于主壳体10的前侧，因而当用户从上向下看该电子装置时，不会看到USB接口74。但是，如上所述，前裙部64形成在基座52上，并且用户可以通过观察前裙部64将电子装置的周边设备的端子插入到USB接口74中。而且，前侧悬置部69位于USB接口74的连接部之上，因而保护了USB接口74的连接部。后侧悬置部71设在主壳体10的后侧(后表面侧)。如下所述，在基座52的背面109和主壳体的背面111上还设置了各种用来连接到电子装置的接口。这些接口的连接部由主壳体10的后侧悬置部71保护。此外，如图2所示，在主壳体10的右侧还设置了悬置部68。As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , thefront suspension portion 69 is located on the front side of themain housing 10 , so that the user cannot see theUSB interface 74 when looking at the electronic device from above. However, as described above, thefront skirt 64 is formed on thebase 52 , and the user can insert terminals of peripheral devices of the electronic device into theUSB interface 74 by looking at thefront skirt 64 . Moreover, thefront suspension portion 69 is located above the connection portion of theUSB interface 74 , thus protecting the connection portion of theUSB interface 74 . Therear suspension portion 71 is provided on the rear side (rear surface side) of themain casing 10 . Various interfaces for connecting to electronic devices are also provided on theback 109 of thebase 52 and the back 111 of the main housing as described below. The connection portions of these interfaces are protected by therear suspension portion 71 of themain housing 10 . In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 , asuspension portion 68 is provided on the right side of themain housing 10 .

主壳体10具有与设定面水平布置的矩形框架元件60。框架元件60具有用来保证电子装置刚度的合适厚度。在框架元件60的左边缘部分，具有被沿着纵向轴线切开的椭圆板形状的上左侧板110如此连接以致上左侧板110直立。而且，类似地，具有被沿着纵向轴线切开的椭圆板形状的下左侧板112如此连接以致下左侧板112悬挂。类似地，在右边缘部分，具有被沿着纵向轴线切开的椭圆板形状的上右侧板116以直立方式连接，具有被沿着纵向轴线切开的椭圆板形状的下右侧板118已悬挂方式连接。Themain housing 10 has arectangular frame element 60 arranged horizontally to the set surface. Theframe member 60 has an appropriate thickness for securing the rigidity of the electronic device. At a left edge portion of theframe member 60, an upperleft side panel 110 having an elliptical plate shape cut along the longitudinal axis is connected such that the upperleft side panel 110 stands upright. Also, similarly, the lowerleft side panel 112 having the shape of an elliptical plate cut along the longitudinal axis is connected such that the lowerleft side panel 112 hangs. Similarly, at the right edge portion, the upperright side plate 116 having the shape of an elliptical plate cut along the longitudinal axis is connected upright, and the lowerright side plate 118 having the shape of an elliptical plate cut along the longitudinal axis has been Hanging connection.

弯曲板状铝盖56沿着上左侧板110和上右侧板116的弯曲上边缘部分连接，覆盖了电子装置10的顶部。此外，弯曲铝盖108沿着下左侧板112和下右侧板118的弯曲下边缘部分连接，并且铝盖108和基座52覆盖了主壳体10的底部。The curved plate-shapedaluminum cover 56 is connected along the curved upper edge portions of the upperleft side panel 110 and the upperright side panel 116 to cover the top of theelectronic device 10 . In addition, thecurved aluminum cover 108 is connected along the curved lower edge portions of the lowerleft side panel 112 and the lowerright side panel 118 , and thealuminum cover 108 and the base 52 cover the bottom of themain housing 10 .

因此，铝盖56和108构成了大致椭圆柱体形式的主壳体10的椭圆侧面板，上左侧板110和下左侧板112构成了主壳体10的一个端面部分，而上右侧板116和下右侧板118构成了另一个端面部分。铝盖56和108分别弯曲，因而提高了主壳体10的美观性，并保证了沿主壳体10径向向外的空间，也就是，主壳体10之上和之下的空间。这改善了电子装置的冷却效率。铝盖56和108、上左侧板110、下左侧板112、上右侧板116和下右侧板118例如可以由铝挤压成型。Therefore, the aluminum covers 56 and 108 constitute the elliptical side panels of themain housing 10 in the form of a substantially elliptical cylinder, the upperleft side panel 110 and the lowerleft side panel 112 form an end face portion of themain housing 10, and the upperright side Plate 116 and lowerright side plate 118 form another end face portion. The aluminum covers 56 and 108 are curved respectively, thereby improving the aesthetics of themain housing 10 and securing a space radially outward of themain housing 10 , that is, spaces above and below themain housing 10 . This improves the cooling efficiency of the electronic device. Aluminum covers 56 and 108, upperleft side panel 110, lowerleft side panel 112, upperright side panel 116, and lowerright side panel 118 may be extruded from aluminum, for example.

在电子装置水平放置的情况下，主壳体10在椭圆柱形壳体的前部具有凹口形状。凹口部分由面板构件12的前表面和前板部20、22构成，其中面板构件12设置在构成主壳体10顶部的铝盖56的前边缘部，前板部20、22从面板构件12的前表面的下边缘部伸展到前部，并且与电子装置的设定面水平设置。面板构件12在其倾斜的前表面上具有插口形成面部18、24。前板部20、22在下面将详细叙述。In the case where the electronic device is placed horizontally, themain case 10 has a notch shape at the front of the elliptical cylindrical case. The notch portion is constituted by the front surface of thepanel member 12 provided on the front edge portion of thealuminum cover 56 constituting the top of themain housing 10, and thefront plate portions 20, 22 from thepanel member 12. The lower edge portion of the front surface of the electronic device extends to the front and is arranged horizontally with the setting surface of the electronic device. Thepanel member 12 has socket forming faces 18, 24 on its inclined front surface. Thefront plate portions 20, 22 will be described in detail below.

插口形成面部18设在电子装置的右侧。用于插入主存储介质的插口形成在插口形成面部18中，其中主存储介质用于存储电子装置的操作程序。特殊地，操作程序存储在光盘上，用于插入光盘的光盘插口14形成在插口形成面部18上。在光盘插口14的背面设置了自动装载机构。因此，在电子装置水平放置时，当用户将部分光盘插入光盘插口14中时，光盘就会自动通过平行于设定面的盘片路径82(参考图4)移动，随后，整个光盘被加载到电子装置中(参考图4)。Thesocket forming surface 18 is provided on the right side of the electronic device. A socket for inserting a main storage medium for storing an operating program of the electronic device is formed in thesocket forming face 18 . Specifically, the operating program is stored on an optical disc, and adisc slot 14 for inserting the optical disc is formed on theslot forming face 18 . On the back side of thedisc slot 14, an automatic loading mechanism is provided. Therefore, when the electronic device is placed horizontally, when the user inserts part of the optical disc into theoptical disc slot 14, the optical disc will automatically move through the disc path 82 (refer to FIG. 4 ) parallel to the set plane, and then the entire optical disc is loaded into in the electronic device (refer to Figure 4).

如图8所示，提供了不平行于设定面的盘片路径82a。此时，提供的盘片路径82a大致垂直于插口形成面部18，结果是，在电子装置水平放置时，用户的眼睛方向大致平行于盘片路径82a，因此实现的电子装置具有更好的功能性。另一方面，插口形成面部24设在电子装置的左侧，并形成了用于插入介质的插口，所述介质用于存储电子装置的操作程序中所使用的数据。特别地，在插口形成面部24，记忆棒(商标)插口26、SD(商标)卡插口28、闪存(商标)卡插口30以此顺序从左沿大致平行于主壳体10纵向的方向设置。As shown in FIG. 8, adisc path 82a that is not parallel to the set plane is provided. At this time, thedisk path 82a is provided approximately perpendicular to thesocket forming face 18, as a result, when the electronic device is placed horizontally, the direction of the user's eyes is approximately parallel to thedisk path 82a, thus realizing better functionality of the electronic device . On the other hand, thesocket forming surface 24 is provided on the left side of the electronic device, and forms a socket for inserting a medium for storing data used in an operation program of the electronic device. In particular, at thesocket forming face 24, memory stick (trademark)socket 26, SD (trademark)card socket 28, flash memory (trademark)card socket 30 are arranged in this order from the left along the direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction ofmain casing 10.

插口形成面部18的下端和框架元件60的顶部相连。框架元件60内形成的平坦前板部20从插口形成面部18的下边缘伸展到前方，并在电子装置水平放置的条件下平行于设定面。类似的，插口形成面部24的下端和框架元件60的顶部相连。框架元件60内形成的平坦前板部22从插口形成面部24的下边缘伸展到前方，并在电子装置水平放置的条件下平行于设定面。在电子装置中，在电子装置水平放置的条件下，前板部20、22的上表面在每个信息存储介质插口的下侧延伸。因此，当用户将介质插入到所述插口时，或者从插口拔出介质时，即使介质从手中滑落，介质也会将落在前板部20、22上，因而防止了落到地板上。此外，前板部22与记忆棒或SD卡区域相比形成得较宽。因此，当更换介质时，用户可以暂时将它放在前板部22上，从而改善了便捷性。而且，由于每个介质的插入方向大致平行于前板部20、22，所以当插入每个介质时，用户可以用前板部20、22作为导向部。The lower end of thesocket forming face 18 is connected to the top of theframe member 60 . The flatfront plate portion 20 formed in theframe member 60 extends from the lower edge of thesocket forming face 18 to the front, and is parallel to the setting face under the condition that the electronic device is placed horizontally. Similarly, the lower end of thesocket forming face 24 is connected to the top of theframe member 60 . The flatfront plate portion 22 formed in theframe member 60 extends forward from the lower edge of the socket formingface portion 24 and is parallel to the setting face under the condition that the electronic device is placed horizontally. In the electronic device, under the condition that the electronic device is placed horizontally, the upper surfaces of thefront plate parts 20, 22 extend on the lower side of each information storage medium socket. Therefore, when the user inserts the medium into the socket or pulls out the medium from the socket, even if the medium slips from the hand, the medium will fall on thefront plate parts 20, 22, thereby preventing it from falling on the floor. In addition, thefront plate portion 22 is formed wider than the memory stick or SD card area. Therefore, when replacing the medium, the user can temporarily put it on thefront plate portion 22, thereby improving convenience. Also, since the insertion direction of each medium is substantially parallel to thefront plate portions 20, 22, the user can use thefront plate portions 20, 22 as a guide when inserting each medium.

前板部22和插口形成面部24由开闭盖76遮盖。开闭盖76包括通过铝挤压成型的弯曲板状铝盖32。铝盖32连接到例如由塑料形成的盖支撑件36。盖支撑件36包括粘合到铝盖32背面的平板部。铰臂36L、36R连接到盖支撑件36一侧的两端。铰臂36L、36R从插口形成面部24的左右侧形成的开口插入到电子装置的内部。铰臂36L、36R的端部通过开闭轴78(参考图3)枢转。此外，止动件40、38垂直设在前板部22的左右侧，并且当开闭盖76关闭时，它们和铝盖32的两端接触。在电子装置水平放置的条件下，止动件40沿插口形成面部24的下侧延伸到前方。因此，用户可以暂时将各种介质放置在止动件40上，从而改善了便捷性。Thefront plate portion 22 and the socket formingsurface portion 24 are covered by an opening and closingcover 76 . The opening and closingcover 76 includes the bent plate-shapedaluminum cover 32 formed by aluminum extrusion. Thealuminum cover 32 is connected to acover support 36 formed, for example, of plastic. Thecover support 36 includes a flat plate portion bonded to the back of thealuminum cover 32 .Hinge arms 36L, 36R are connected to both ends on one side of thecover support 36 . Thehinge arms 36L, 36R are inserted into the electronic device from openings formed on the left and right sides of thesocket forming surface 24 . The ends of thehinge arms 36L, 36R are pivoted by an opening and closing shaft 78 (refer to FIG. 3 ). In addition, thestoppers 40, 38 are vertically provided on the left and right sides of thefront plate portion 22, and they contact both ends of thealuminum cover 32 when the opening and closingcover 76 is closed. Thestopper 40 extends to the front along the lower side of thesocket forming face 24 under the condition that the electronic device is placed horizontally. Therefore, the user can temporarily place various media on thestopper 40, thereby improving convenience.

上左侧板110垂直设在止动件40的另一横侧中。此外，隔板62垂直设在止动件38的另一横侧中。隔板62通过铝挤压成型。隔板62隔在插口形成面部18和24之间，也隔在前板部20和22之间。当开闭盖76处于关闭位置时，开闭盖76的左侧被左侧板110封闭，右侧由隔板62封闭。在铝盖32的顶面上，在前侧的边缘部上形成有防滑突起34。通过将手放在防滑突起34上，用户可以容易的打开或者关闭开闭盖76。The upperleft side panel 110 is vertically provided in the other lateral side of thestopper 40 . Furthermore, apartition 62 is vertically provided in the other lateral side of thestopper 38 . Theseparator 62 is formed by extrusion of aluminum. Thepartition plate 62 is interposed between thesocket forming surfaces 18 and 24 and also between thefront plate portions 20 and 22 . When the opening and closingcover 76 is in the closed position, the left side of the opening and closingcover 76 is closed by theleft side plate 110 , and the right side is closed by thepartition plate 62 . On the top surface of thealuminum cover 32, anon-slip protrusion 34 is formed on the edge portion on the front side. By putting a hand on thenon-slip protrusion 34, the user can easily open or close the opening and closingcover 76. As shown in FIG.

根据所述电子装置，开闭盖76如此连接以致其可以在关闭位置(图3中虚线所示的位置)和打开位置(图3中双点划线所示的位置)之间移动，其中在上述关闭位置，前板部22和插口形成面部24被遮盖，而在上述打开位置，它们被露出来。因此，当用户没有插入或者拔出记忆棒、SD卡或闪存时，开闭盖76被设定在关闭位置，因而防止了灰尘积聚在前板部22或止动件40上，或者防止灰尘进入记忆棒插口26、SD卡插口28和闪存卡插口30中。此外，在电子装置主要用于再现或者执行光盘上记录的各种数字内容的情况下，仅需要露出使用光盘所必需的光盘插口14，其他介质的插口通常被开闭盖76关闭。因此，即使是初学者也能够容易的理解如何使用该电子装置。According to the electronic device, the opening and closingcover 76 is connected so that it can move between the closed position (the position shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 ) and the open position (the position shown by the double-dashed line in FIG. 3 ), wherein In the above-mentioned closed position, thefront plate portion 22 and thesocket forming face 24 are covered, while in the above-mentioned open position, they are exposed. Therefore, when the user does not insert or pull out the memory stick, SD card or flash memory, the opening and closingcover 76 is set at the closed position, thereby preventing dust from accumulating on thefront plate portion 22 or thestopper 40, or preventing dust from enteringMemory stick socket 26,SD card socket 28 and flashmemory card socket 30. In addition, when the electronic device is mainly used to reproduce or execute various digital contents recorded on an optical disc, only theoptical disc slot 14 necessary for using the optical disc needs to be exposed, and the slots for other media are usually closed by the opening and closingcover 76 . Therefore, even beginners can easily understand how to use the electronic device.

下面，将叙述主壳体10的左右侧面。设在主壳体10左侧面上的上左侧板110具有相连的扩展接口盖58。用户可以去掉该扩展接口盖58，以便于他们可以将诸如硬盘或ROM盒之类的信息储存介质、或诸如通信模块或传感器之类的周边设备连接到电子装置(参考图3)。由所述扩展接口盖58遮盖的周边设备的安装位置设在主壳体10左侧面中心位置附近。因此，电子装置可和周边设备一起安装。而且当电子装置垂直放置时，电子装置的重心集中在下侧，从而使电子装置可稳定设置。Next, the left and right sides of themain casing 10 will be described. The upperleft panel 110 provided on the left side of themain housing 10 has theexpansion interface cover 58 connected thereto. Users can remove theexpansion interface cover 58 so that they can connect an information storage medium such as a hard disk or a ROM cartridge, or peripheral devices such as a communication module or a sensor to the electronic device (refer to FIG. 3 ). The peripheral devices covered by theexpansion interface cover 58 are installed near the center of the left side of themain housing 10 . Therefore, the electronic device can be installed together with peripheral equipment. Moreover, when the electronic device is placed vertically, the center of gravity of the electronic device is concentrated on the lower side, so that the electronic device can be stably arranged.

此外，用于垂直放置的突起(例如由橡胶制成)设在主壳体10的左侧面上，从而在电子装置垂直放置时，可使电子装置稳定设置，并通过将电子装置设定得不与设定面接触，提高了电子装置的冷却效率。尤其是，在上左侧板110的上边缘部分设置了突起46。此外，还可以在框架元件60的一部分上设置两个超出主壳体10左侧端面的突起42、44。此外，还可以在与主壳体10的下部相连的基座52的左侧端面上设置两个突起48、50。电子装置在垂直放置时，由突起42、44、46、48和50支撑。尤其是，由于框架元件60和突起42、44连接，所以电子装置可以牢固地放置在垂直方向上。In addition, protrusions (for example, made of rubber) for vertical placement are provided on the left side of themain case 10, so that when the electronic device is placed vertically, the electronic device can be stably placed, and by setting the electronic device No contact with the setting surface improves the cooling efficiency of the electronic device. In particular, aprotrusion 46 is provided at an upper edge portion of the upperleft side panel 110 . In addition, twoprotrusions 42 , 44 protruding beyond the left end surface of themain housing 10 may also be provided on a part of theframe member 60 . In addition, twoprotrusions 48 , 50 may also be provided on the left end surface of the base 52 connected to the lower portion of themain housing 10 . The electronic device is supported by theprotrusions 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50 when placed vertically. In particular, since theframe member 60 and theprotrusions 42, 44 are connected, the electronic device can be firmly placed in a vertical direction.

此外，如图7所示，突起70、72、80和84连接到基座52的底部。在电子装置水平放置时，电子装置由突起70、72、80和84支撑。Additionally, as shown in FIG. 7 ,protrusions 70 , 72 , 80 , and 84 are attached to the bottom ofbase 52 . The electronic device is supported by theprotrusions 70 , 72 , 80 and 84 when the electronic device is placed horizontally.

在电子装置的主壳体10的右侧面上，如前所述，设置了上右侧板116和下右侧板118。在它们中，下右侧板118(参考图2和图4)中开有许多通气孔66。在通气孔66内设有未示出的风扇，用于冷却电子装置。在水平放置的条件下，通气孔66位于下侧，并处于靠近诸如地板之类的设定表面的位置，通气孔66的数量较少，此外，孔的尺寸(开口面积)也减小了。特别地，通气孔66形成多排，且大致平行于设定面。通气孔66如此形成，使得设置在阵列中的通气孔66的数量或尺寸根据距离设定面的距离而变化。根据这种结构，当空气经由通气孔66排出时，积聚在设定面上的灰尘很难被空气扰动。相反，当空气经由通气孔66引入时，仍旧难于将积聚在设定面上的灰尘吸入。On the right side of themain housing 10 of the electronic device, as described above, an upperright side plate 116 and a lowerright side plate 118 are provided. Among them, a number of ventilation holes 66 are opened in the lower right side plate 118 (refer to FIGS. 2 and 4 ). A fan, not shown, is provided in thevent hole 66 for cooling the electronic device. In the horizontally placed condition, the ventilation holes 66 are located on the lower side and are located near a set surface such as a floor, the number of the ventilation holes 66 is small, and the size (opening area) of the holes is also reduced. In particular, the ventilation holes 66 are formed in multiple rows and are substantially parallel to the setting plane. The vent holes 66 are formed such that the number or size of the vent holes 66 provided in the array varies according to the distance from the set surface. According to this structure, when the air is exhausted through thevent hole 66, the dust accumulated on the setting surface is hardly disturbed by the air. On the contrary, when air is introduced through thevent hole 66, it is still difficult to suck the dust accumulated on the set surface.

在所述电子装置中，除了主壳体10的前侧和后侧中的悬置部69、71之外，在主壳体10的右侧设置了其中形成有通气孔66的悬置部68(参考图2)。尤其是，形成有通气孔66的右侧面和基座52的右侧面不形成在同一平面中，并且基座52的右侧面相对于主壳体10的右侧面而言形成内侧。主壳体10右侧部的下侧没有与基座52相连，并且该右侧部在空气中处于漂浮状态。因此，除了通气孔66的向上、向左和向右方向以外，在通气孔66的向下方向上也保证了一定的空间，从而有效冷却了电子装置。In the electronic device, in addition to thesuspension portions 69, 71 in the front and rear sides of themain casing 10, asuspension portion 68 in which avent hole 66 is formed is provided on the right side of themain casing 10. (Refer to Figure 2). In particular, the right side where thevent hole 66 is formed and the right side of the base 52 are not formed in the same plane, and the right side of thebase 52 is formed inside relative to the right side of themain housing 10 . The lower side of the right side of themain housing 10 is not connected to thebase 52, and the right side is in a floating state in the air. Therefore, in addition to the upward, leftward, and rightward directions of thevent hole 66, a certain space is secured in the downward direction of thevent hole 66, thereby efficiently cooling the electronic device.

最后，将叙述电子装置的背面。在背面，分两行设有各种连接端子和开关。在各种连接端子等中，设在下行的端子为两个HDMI(高清晰多媒体接口)端子96、AV端子100、光数字端子102、主电源开关104和电缆端子106。它们以此顺序从左布置在基座52的背面109上。在各种连接端子等中，设在上行的端子为两个USB端子86和三个Ethernet端口90。它们以此顺序从左布置在基座52的背面109和主壳体10的平坦背面111上。如图3所示，平坦背面111位于主壳体10最远端面的在前一侧。此外，如前所述，背面的悬置部71设在主壳体10的背面。因此，连接到电子装置背面的外设的各种连接端子的连接部被主壳体10所保护。Finally, the back side of the electronic device will be described. On the back, various connection terminals and switches are arranged in two rows. Among the various connection terminals and the like, terminals provided downstream are two HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)terminals 96 , anAV terminal 100 , an opticaldigital terminal 102 , amain power switch 104 , and acable terminal 106 . They are arranged in this order from the left on therear face 109 of thebase 52 . Among various connection terminals and the like, the terminals provided on the upper row are twoUSB terminals 86 and threeEthernet ports 90 . They are arranged in this order from the left on therear surface 109 of thebase 52 and the flat rear surface 111 of themain housing 10 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the flat back surface 111 is located on the front side of the most distal end surface of themain housing 10 . In addition, as described above, therear suspension portion 71 is provided on the rear surface of themain casing 10 . Accordingly, connection portions of various connection terminals connected to peripheral devices on the rear surface of the electronic device are protected by themain case 10 .

根据如上所述的电子装置，主壳体10形成为大致椭圆柱形，如此设置使得壳体的纵向方向(椭圆柱体的轴向方向)大致水平于设定面。因此，即使设备容纳在诸如调音台(audio board)之类的容纳支架上，由于在主壳体10上部留有空间，所以也能够提高电子装置的冷却效率。此外，在光盘插口14、记忆棒插口26、SD卡插口28和闪存卡插口30的前部形成有前板部20、22。因此，在处理不同的介质时，可以防止介质直接滑落到地面上，从而使上述电子装置的便利性得以增加。According to the electronic device as described above, themain housing 10 is formed in a substantially elliptical cylindrical shape so arranged that the longitudinal direction of the housing (the axial direction of the elliptic cylinder) is substantially horizontal to the setting plane. Therefore, even if the device is accommodated on a housing stand such as an audio board, since a space is left above themain housing 10, the cooling efficiency of the electronic device can be improved. In addition,front plate portions 20 , 22 are formed on the front of thedisc slot 14 , thememory stick slot 26 , theSD card slot 28 , and theflash card slot 30 . Therefore, when handling different media, the media can be prevented from directly slipping down on the ground, so that the convenience of the above-mentioned electronic device can be increased.
