Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a panel on a housing, and relates to a mounting structure used when it is necessary to fix the panel from inside the housing.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A panel may be provided separately from the main body for maintenance / inspection of the case and operation / display. For the convenience of removal, screwing is usually used to fix this panel to the housing.

As means for this kind of screwing, an insertion hole 10 is provided in the panel 1a as shown in FIG. 7, and a screw 4 is screwed into the tap hole 8 of the panel mounting portion 6a of the housing through the insertion hole 10. Or a means for providing an insertion hole in place of the tap hole 8 and screwing it in using a nut or the like, and an insertion hole provided in the housing mounting portion by vertically arranging the stud bolt 9 on the panel 1b itself as shown in FIG. There was a means for screwing from the back side through the nut 11 or the like.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the mounting structure like the former allows the screw to be tightened externally, it is easier to handle compared to tightening it internally, but in the case of a panel intended for operation and display, the appearance of the threads is exposed due to the exposed threads. It was bad, and there was a problem that clothes and the like were easily caught during operation and transportation. On the other hand, in the latter case, the appearance is good, but the work of removing the screw is performed inside the housing, so the workability is extremely poor, and the screw may fall inside the housing and may be lost at times.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides, in a panel mounting structure for covering an opening of a housing, a U-shaped bracket having one side wall fixed to the inner surface of the panel, the other side wall of the bracket and the side wall. A Z-shaped bracket extending over the inner surface of the opening of the housing, another side wall of the U-shaped bracket, and a screw for fastening a portion of the Z-shaped bracket on the side wall from the inside of the housing. Panel mounting structure

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the structure is fixed from the back side of the panel, the mounting screws, etc. do not appear on the outside, and the screws do not have to be removed when the panel is opened or closed, preventing the screws from falling into the housing and hindering transportation. It has the effect of improving operability and safety.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in a state where a panel is fixed. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the embodiment. 3 and 4 show a state in which the Z-shaped bracket is rotated to remove the panel in the embodiment, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are other embodiments. In each figure, the same parts are designated by the same symbols, and similar parts are provided with identification numbers a, b, c, etc. beside the numbers.

In FIG. 1, a panel 1 and a Z-shaped bracket 5 screwed with a screw 4 into a tap hole 3 of a U-shaped bracket 2 fixed to the inner surface near the end of the panel 1 are casings. The panel mounting portion 6 of the body is fixed so as to be sandwiched from the back side. At this time, the Z-shaped bracket 5 is provided with an insertion hole 7 instead of a tap hole, and by loosening the screw 4, the Z-shaped bracket 5 is rotated as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the panel 1 is attached to the panel mounting portion. It can be removed from 6.

FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the screw fitting structure of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is replaced with the screw fitting structure shown in FIG. 8, and the stud bolt 9 is hung vertically on the U-shaped bracket 2a and the insertion hole 7 of the Z-shaped bracket 5 is inserted. Since the nut is screwed through and the nut is changed to the wing nut 12, it is necessary to tighten and loosen it with a screwdriver in the case of FIG. 1, but in the case of FIG. Manual work is possible without using. Needless to say, in the case of this embodiment, the stud bolt 9 serves as the center of rotation of the Z-shaped bracket 5.

FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a hemispherical protrusion 14 is provided on the other end of a leaf spring 13 having one end attached to a U-shaped bracket 2b, and the Z-shaped bracket 5 holds the panel 1 at a predetermined position. We will make a hemispherical hole. By pressing the hemispherical projection 14 into the hemispherical holes 15a and 15b by the restoring force of the leaf spring 13, the Z-shaped bracket 5a does not rotate naturally even when the screw 4 is loosened, and the panel mounting is prevented. The attached portion 6 can be continuously held, and when it is desired to rotate the Z-shaped bracket 5a when removing the panel, the hemispherical projection 14 can be easily rotated by hand to release it, and the panel 1 can be rotated. When the Z-shaped bracket 5a is held, the Z-shaped bracket 5a may be rotated to a position where an operating noise is generated by fitting the hemispherical protrusion 14 and the upper portion 15a of the hemispherical hole of the Z-shaped bracket 5a. This embodiment has the effect of continuing to hold the panel even if the screw naturally relaxes due to vibration or the like.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention has a structure in which the panel that may be removed from the housing is fixed from the back side of the panel, and the mounting screws, etc. do not appear on the exterior, and it does not interfere with transportation, etc. Since it is not necessary to remove the screws, it prevents the screws from falling into the housing, prevents the screws from being lost, and has the effect of improving operability and safety.
