Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a display mounting device for electronic equipment.

[Prior Art] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, electronic components are assembled in a main body cover 10 that has an open lower side 19 and a front wall 21 provided with a window 31 for viewing the display 1 from the outside. It is known for its sophisticated electronic devices.
Examples include ECR and POS terminal equipment. Note that 2 in the figure is a light-transmitting panel that is fitted into the window 31. 38 is a base.

In such an electronic device, in order to mount the display 1 at a predetermined position relative to the window 31, a structure in which the display 1 is mounted directly on the inner surface of the main body cover 10 as shown in FIG.
Generally, the structure is such that it is attached to a frame 40 fixed to a base 38, as shown in FIG. The direct mounting structure shown in FIG.
4 and the mounting chip 43 provided with the main body cover 1.
0, and a locking chip 41 having a groove 42 was fixed to the ceiling 11. Therefore, the upper end 6 of the display mounting board 5 is fitted into the groove 42, and the claw 44 is bored into the lower end 8 of the board 5 while deforming downward in FIG. By fitting the hole 9 into the protrusion 45 and then returning the tab 44 to its original position, the display mounting board 5, that is, the display 1 could be mounted in a predetermined position.

8, holes 9 and 9 are drilled in the upper and lower ends 6 and 8 of the display mounting board 5 in the screw holes 48 of the iron plate frame 40 installed on the base 38.
was supposed to be passed through and fixed with screws 49, 49.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, the conventional mounting structure described above has the disadvantage that the number of parts and assembly man-hours increase because the mounting chip 43, frame 40, etc. are required, which increases the product price. .

In addition, with the main body frame mounting structure shown in FIG. 6, it is not only extremely difficult to glue the locking chip 41 and the mounting chip 43 in the predetermined positions, but also there is concern that defects may occur due to poor adhesive strength or mistakes in the adhesive work, and as a result, There was also the inherent problem of worsening retention. Moreover, since the work is carried out within a narrow cover, considerable skill is required to secure the mounting chip 43 and the like with sufficient positional accuracy to mount the display 1 in a predetermined position. Furthermore, depending on the weight and shape of the display 1 and the display mounting board 5, as well as the elasticity of the claws 44, it may be difficult to stably hold the display 1 in a predetermined position, and the display may shift during transportation. There was also a fear that it would be lost.

On the other hand, the mounting structure using the frame 40 also has the same problems as the above case, such as an increase in the number of parts, and also has the drawback that it reduces the space for housing electronic components in the electronic device, leading to an increase in the size and weight of the device.

The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a small, lightweight, and economical display mounting device for electronic equipment that allows the display to be freely attached and detached, and allows for quick and accurate display mounting. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention solves the above problems by focusing on the molding process of the main body cover and eliminating parts such as mounting chips.

For this reason, in an electronic device in which electronic components are built into a main body cover that is open on the lower side and has a window on the front wall for viewing the display from the outside, the Z-axis is spaced apart in the Y-axis direction. A plurality of Z grooves opening inward in the direction and a pair of Y surfaces spaced apart in the direction of the Y groove line and orthogonal to the Y axis are integrally molded on the inside of the ceiling of the main body cover, and the grooves are spaced apart in the direction of the Y axis. A plurality of support members having an X plane perpendicular to the X axis and a Z plane perpendicular to the Z axis and formed so as to be flexible in the Z axis direction, and a plurality of opposing X faces facing the X plane of the support members at a distance. The upper end of the display mounting board is fitted into the Z groove, and the lower end is engaged with each X surface, each opposing X surface, and each Z surface. The structure is such that the position of the display device can be regulated in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, and the position of the display device can be regulated in the Y-axis direction by engaging each side end of the display device mounting board with each Y surface. Achieve the above objectives.

[Function] In the present invention, the three-dimensional position of the display device can be controlled by simply engaging and supporting each end of the display device mounting board with the position regulating surface such as the X plane formed integrally with the main body cover. The display can be easily and quickly attached to a predetermined position.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the display mounting device for electronic equipment according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a plurality of Z grooves 14 provided in the ceiling 11 of the main body cover 10, a pair of Y surfaces 16, a plurality of X surfaces 24, a Z surface 26 and a plurality of opposing X surfaces 28 provided in the front wall 21 are shown. A display mounting device is constructed from the above.

The Z groove 14 and each surface 16, 24, 26, 28 are integrally formed when the main body cover 10 is molded, and the ceiling 11 and the front wall 21 of the main body cover 10 are formed integrally.
It is configured to extend into the main body from each inner surface of the main body. The main body cover 10 is made of synthetic resin, and its form is similar to the conventional form shown in FIG. 5 above.

Each of the Z grooves 14 protruding from the inner surface of the ceiling 11 is spaced apart in the Y-axis direction and opens inward in the Z-axis direction (toward the inside of the main body). The upper end 6 of the display mounting board 5 is fitted into this Z groove 14 . That is, the support member 2 described in detail later.
2, it has the function of regulating the position of the substrate 5 in the Z-axis direction and regulating the position of the substrate 5 in the X-axis direction, thereby preventing the substrate 5 from falling.

Further, the Y planes 16 are spaced apart in the Y axis direction.
It is a surface perpendicular to the axis and consists of a pair of left and right sides. Both Y surfaces 16, 16 have a dimension slightly smaller than the width dimension of the substrate 5, and each Y surface 16 is formed so that its tip can be bent and deformed in the Y-axis direction with the inner surface of the ceiling 11 as a fixed end. There is. Therefore,
By inserting both side ends 7, 7 of the board 5 between both Y surfaces 16, 16, the position of the board 5 (display device 1) relative to the main body cover 10 (window 31) on the Y axis can be regulated.

On the other hand, each support member 22 integrally provided on the inner surface side of the front wall 21 has a fixed end with the front wall 21, and its tip portion can be bent and deformed in the Z-axis direction. The fact that the main body cover 10 is made of synthetic resin is further utilized to provide elastic properties. and,
X plane 24 provided at the tip of each support member 22
is a plane perpendicular to the X-axis, and the Z plane 26 is a plane perpendicular to the X-axis.
This is a plane perpendicular to the axis. The Z surface 26 biases the lower end 8 of the substrate 5 fitted in the Z groove 14 in the direction of arrow Z1 shown in FIG. 2, thereby regulating the position of the substrate 5 in the Z-axis direction. A stepped portion 29 is provided as an auxiliary means for more securely regulating the position in the Z-axis direction (see FIG. 3). This stepped portion 29 is also effective as a holding surface when mounting the substrate 5.

In addition, the X plane 24 is an opposite X plane 2 provided closer to the front wall 21 than this as shown in FIG.
8 to sandwich the lower end 8 of the substrate 5 and regulate its position in the X-axis direction.

In the mounting device having such a configuration, the display 1 is mounted at a predetermined position in the following manner.

First, each support shaft member 22 is flexibly deformed in the Z2 direction in FIG. 2, so that the X plane 24 and the Z plane 26 are shifted downward. Next, the lower end 8 of the display mounting board 5 whose upper end 6 is fitted into the Z groove 14 is brought into contact with the opposing X surface 28 (see FIG. 3). In this case, if the edge of the lower end portion 8 is held by the stepped portion 29, the substrate 5 will not fall in the Z2 direction even if the hand is removed from the substrate 5, making the work easier. Of course, both ends 7, 7 of the substrate 5
is inserted between the Y planes 16, 16.

If the external force is removed from each support member 22, the X plane 24 and Z plane 26 will elastically return to their original positions as shown in FIG. The location can be regulated.

Note that by first placing the edge of the lower end portion 8 on the Z surface 26 and pressurizing the substrate 5 in the Z2 direction, all the supporting members 22 are simultaneously bent and deformed in the Z2 direction, and then the upper end portion 6 is placed in the Z groove 14. By fitting them together, the board 5 can be mounted more efficiently.

Thus, the display 1 (display mounting board 5) is
The X-plane 24, the opposing X-plane 28, and the Z groove 14 cooperate to regulate the position in the X-axis direction and prevent tilting. Position regulation in the Y-axis direction is on both Y-planes 16,1
6. Further, positional regulation in the Z-axis direction is performed by the Z groove 14 and the Z surface 16. In this way, the three-dimensional position of the display device 1 together with its substrate 5 is regulated with respect to the main body cover 10 (window 31), and the display device 1 is mounted at a predetermined position.

According to this embodiment, the Z groove 14 provided on the ceiling 11 side constituting the display mounting device,
Y plane 16 and X plane 2 provided on the front wall 21 side
4. The Z surface 26 and the opposing X surface 28 are the main body cover 10
Since it is integrally molded with the conventional separate locking chip 41, mounting chip 43, and frame 4,
It is possible to eliminate the number of zero-grade attachment parts, dramatically reduce the number of parts and assembly man-hours, and reduce product costs.

In addition, since the components such as the Z groove 14 and the Y surface 26 are integrated using a part of the main body cover 10, the positioning of the display 1 can be performed without the trouble of fixing the mounting chip 43 with adhesive. Installation can be done accurately. In addition, it is small and lightweight, and a large internal storage space can be secured. Furthermore, since there is no room for errors in adhesive strength or adhesive work, stable installation can be guaranteed over the long term.

Further, since the display device 1 can be attached and attached with one touch by utilizing the elasticity of the support member 22, quick and highly efficient work can be achieved without requiring any skill. In addition, there is no variation among electronic devices, and quality can be improved.

Furthermore, since not only mounting and mounting but also detachment and removal are easy, adjustment, repair, etc. of the display 1 can be easily performed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the auxiliary step portion 29
However, this stepped portion 29 does not necessarily need to be provided. However, if the stepped portion 29 is provided, the work efficiency can be further improved and the supporting member 22
This has the effect of preventing the material from being bent or deformed more than necessary. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, after installing the display 1, screw holes 35 are provided inside the front wall 21 of the main body cover 10, and a part of the display mounting board 5 is fixed with screws 36. It may be possible to do so. This is because there may be cases where this is significant in terms of ensuring safety during truck transportation.

[Effect of the invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the display mounting board can be attached and detached with one touch while regulating the three-dimensional direction from the Y plane etc. integrally formed on the main body cover. Because of this configuration, it is possible to quickly and accurately mount a display in a predetermined position, and it is possible to provide a small, lightweight, and economical display mounting device for electronic equipment.
