Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a substrate that includes a component, a first cover member that includes a first position control section for controlling a position of the substrate, and a second cover member that forms an internal space in cooperation with the first cover member and includes a second position control section for controlling the position of the substrate relatively more precisely than the first position control section, wherein when the substrate is supported by either one of the first cover member and the second cover member, the substrate is not fixed to the one of the cover members, and when the first cover member and the second cover member are fastened together, the substrate is fixed in the internal space.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a substrate that includes a component;

a first cover member that includes a first position control section that controls a position of the substrate; and

a second cover member that forms an internal space in cooperation with the first cover member and includes a second position control section that controls the position of the substrate,

wherein when the substrate is supported by either one of the first cover member and the second cover member, the substrate is not fixed to the one of the cover members, and when the first cover member and the second cover member are fastened together, the substrate is fixed in the internal space.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the second position control section includes a guide section configured to guide the substrate by the first position control section to a position-controlled position with respect to the first cover member.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the substrate includes through-holes passing through a top surface and a bottom surface of the substrate, the substrate includes no fixing portion fixed to only one of the first cover member and the second cover member, and the substrate is fastened together with both the first cover member and the second cover member by screw members passing through the through-holes.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the second cover member has openings into which connectors are inserted from outside the electronic apparatus, and

the substrate includes a connector that is connected to the connectors inserted from the openings and mounted at a position facing an internal surface of the openings.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the component is a fan that is mounted on one of a top surface and a bottom surface of the substrate and forms an air flow in the internal space.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display unit that includes a display screen; and

a main body unit that has a calculation function and supports the display unit so that the display unit is openable and closable,

wherein the main body unit includes a top cover as the first cover member that covers a top side and a bottom cover as the second cover member that covers a bottom side.
