Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an opening/closing mechanism for a panel attached to the surface of a weight body.

As a structure for electronic equipment, it is necessary to provide a closing part in the crab body that houses the electronic equipment to enable maintenance, inspection, adjustment, repair, modification, etc. of the equipment.

This closing portion is covered with a lid and closed when the device is in operation, so that the function of the device is not damaged by the outside. A panel is attached to the front surface of the casing, which includes an operating section for the electronic device and a display section for instructing the operation of the device, and this panel also needs to be opened for the above-mentioned work.

However, electronic components and mechanical components related to operation and display are attached to the front and back surfaces of this panel, and these components are wired to each other, and the ends of the wires are wired to the equipment inside the enclosure. An electrical connection is made.

When opening this panel, for example, you can use the screw holes around the panel to remove the setscrews on the panel that are connected to the crab body, and then remove the panel. Since the panel is left in an undefined and arbitrary state, the electronic and mechanical components attached to the panel may be damaged, and tension may be applied to the wiring, causing even the slightest chance of an accident in which the connection end of the wiring comes off or is severed. be.

Therefore, in such a case, a panel removal mechanism is required that will prevent the above-mentioned accident from occurring.

To achieve this new purpose simply, the panel and the bamboo frame are joined together with a hinge. In order to make the panel act like opening and closing a door, the panel is connected to the crab body through the rotation axis of the hinge, and the position of the panel when opening and closing is regulated by the hinge, so electronic and mechanical parts are It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wire breakage accidents due to excessive tension in the wires.
When a panel is opened using a hinge in this manner, depending on the mechanism used to use the hinge, the panel may not rotate sufficiently to open, and the workability described above may not be ensured. According to the conventional method, in such cases, the rotation angle of the panel is wide,
For example, if you want to obtain an angle close to 180 degrees, use a hinge that has a rotation angle of 180 degrees or more.
By locating the center of the axis of rotation of the hinge so as to protrude forward from the surface of the sparrow body to which the hinge is attached, the panel connected to the hinge can rotate at a wide angle of 1800°. However, according to this method, since the hinge is attached so as to protrude from the surface of the crab body, the hinge is susceptible to damage such as bending or breaking due to external force, and the hinge may lose its function. In addition, the protrusion may damage other equipment, and the protrusion of the hinge is not only visually undesirable but also functionally defective.

The present invention allows for a wide rotation angle, for example, 1 degree, without protruding the hinge when opening and closing the panel using such a hinge.
This provides a method for easily obtaining an angle of about 800 degrees.

This method uses a panel attached to a sparrow body that is equipped with a hinge on the edge and rotates to open and close using the rotation axis of the hinge.
Another movable piece of the hinge attached to the end side of the panel slides on a rail portion connected to and attached to the weight body.

It has a mechanism that connects to the sliding body.

When a closed panel that is in close contact with the surface of the bell body is to be rotated by the hinge rotating shaft to open it, first, the panel that is in close contact with the bell body is pulled out from the cover surface parallel to the close contact surface, and then , the panel is rotated by the rotation axis of the hinge. By pulling out the panel to be opened parallel to the body, the hinge attached to the panel will be in the same position as when it is attached protruding from the body, making it possible to widen the opening rotation angle of the panel. It is. The sliding length of the sliding body is a distance that can secure the rotational axis position of the hinge necessary for rotation to open the panel from the outer end position of the hinge that is within the same area as the surface of the casing.

When closing the panel, rotate the panel using the hinge shaft attached to the panel so that it is parallel to the surface of the bulge, and then slide the sliding body connected to the hinge along the rail. The panel is pushed toward the private body and brought into close contact with the pupil body.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail using the drawings. 1st
The figure shows one embodiment of the panel opening/closing mechanism of the present invention, with the panel shown in a closed state, and FIG. 2 showing the panel in an opened state.

In the figure, 1 is the side plate of the cliff body of the layering, 2 is the panel that opens and closes, 3 is the hinge, 31 and 32 are movable pieces that rotate around the rotation axis 33, and 4 is the integrated movable piece 32 and panel. 5 is a member for integrating the movable piece 31 with the side plate 1 and moving the panel 2, the cover material 4, the movable 32 hinge 3, the movable piece 31 relative to the side plate 1; A screw 7 is used to fix the member 5 to the side plate 1 so that the panel 2 is not damaged, and a handle 7 is used to slide the entire part including the hinge 3 against the side plate 1 when opening the panel 2. When installing, first remove the screws 6 and then pull out the handle 7 to remove the side plate 1.
The entire part including the hinge 3 is slid in the direction of the white arrow.

Next, the panel 2 is rotated in all directions, and the movable piece 32 is rotated relative to the movable piece 31 around the rotor turning wheel 33 to bring the panel into the open state as shown in FIG. , just do the exact opposite. In addition, as for the structure in which the entire part including the hinge 3 slides on the side plate 1, the member 5 is designed so as to fit into the sliding motion of a rail fixed inside the side plate 1 and parallel to the side plate. Just leave it there. In addition, in order to prevent damage to the side plate 1, a second fixing hole 8 is provided in the side plate 1, and when the panel is opened, the hinge part is fixed in the position shown in Figure 2 with a screw after the hakama is moved. , it is a good idea to open the panel from that evening. As described above, according to the mechanism according to the present invention, when opening and closing the panel, the outer end of the hinge required for rotating the panel does not protrude beyond the surface of the sparrow body to which the hinge is attached, so that the panel can be closed at zero. According to the state, because the hinge protrudes, it will not be damaged by external force, and the protruding part of the hinge will not harm other equipment or operators, and it is possible to obtain a wide angle of rotation. Effects can be obtained.

In the figure, 1 is a side plate, 2 is a panel, 3 is a hinge, 4 and 5 are supporting members, and 7 is a sliding handle.
