Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a battery storage structure for timers, counters, and other control equipment, such as batteries for backing up built-in memory, and other battery-powered control equipment for backup during power outages. .

[Background technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG.
A terminal portion 3 is provided on the bottom surface 2, and battery contact pieces 5, 5 connected to the backup circuit of the main circuit are arranged in the central recess 4 of the bottom surface 2, and the battery 7, which is secured to the mounting plate 6, is housed in the recess 4. This control device main body 1 is attached to a panel (not shown) by attaching a mounting bracket 8 with screws 9.

In such a conventional configuration, since the battery 7 and the mounting plate 6 are surrounded by the mounting bracket 8, the battery cannot be replaced while the panel is attached, and a recess 4 must be provided in the control device body 1. As a control device that is always desired to be miniaturized, it has the disadvantage of being large.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned conventional situation and aims to accommodate batteries in a small plug-in type control device so that batteries can be easily replaced without providing a special battery storage space.

[Disclosure of invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

A memory (not shown) is housed inside the control device main body 1, such as a timer, a counter, a sequencer, etc., and the memory contents are maintained using commercial power. On the bottom surface 12 of the control device main body 11, necessary terminals 13, 13, . . . are provided on the insulating stand 11. A female thread 14 is cut into the insulating base 11a.

The mounting bracket 15 is approximately U-shaped and has male threads 16, 16.
Screw onto the female screws 14, 14, and attach the arm pieces 15a, 15.
a is attached along the side surfaces 11b, 11b of the control device main body 11.

This side surface 11b, the other side surface 11c excluding 11b
Insert the battery contact pieces 17, 17 connected to the backup circuit (not shown) in the control device main body 11 into the holes 18, 18.
It is located inside. The hole 18 may be replaced with a depression 18.

The paper battery 19 is equipped with electrodes 20, 20, has an adhesive applied to the back surface 20 and can be attached to the other side surface 11c, and displays the battery replacement date and the like on the front surface 21.

The electrodes 20, 20 of this paper battery 19 are pasted and adhered to the other side surface 11c in contact with the battery contact pieces 17, 17.

In this way, the paper battery is extremely thin and requires almost no battery storage space, and since the arm pieces 15a, 15a of the mounting bracket 15 are not attached, and the paper battery 19 is attached to the side surface 11c, it can be left attached to the panel. Batteries can be replaced.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the battery storage structure of the control device of the present invention, the terminal portion 13 is provided on the bottom surface 12 of the control device main body 11 such as a timer or counter, and the mounting bracket 15 for attaching the control device main body 11 to the panel is attached to the A battery contact piece 17 is installed along the side surface 11b of the control device main body from the bottom surface 12 and is connected to the backup circuit of the control device main body circuit on the other side surface 11c excluding the side surface 11b, and the battery contact piece 17 said other side surface 1 so as to be conductively connected to
The structure is characterized in that a paper battery 19 is adhered to the battery 1c, and there is no need for a special space for housing the battery, and moreover, the battery can be easily replaced without touching the mounting bracket while the battery is mounted on the panel. It can be done.
