As shown in FIG. 1, a strut 1 facing each other at a predetermined distance L and a strut 1 positioned at the distance L are provided. An electronic device mounting structure comprising an electronic device unit (2) to be locked, comprising: a mounting part (4) having a mounting plate (4) for holding the support column (1) and a projection (6) formed on the mounting plate (4). Provided on both sides of the electronic device unit 2, the mounting plate 4 holds the supporting column 1 and the projection 6 is inserted into the notch hole 5 formed in the side surface 1A of the supporting column 1 to thereby remove the electronic device unit 2 from the electronic device unit 2. In order to mount the electronic device unit 2, the elastic member 7 is fixed to the front surface 1B of the column 1, and when mounting the electronic device unit 2, the front surface 1B of the column 1 and the mounting plate 4 are brought into contact with each other. The elastic member 7 is configured to be interposed.

With this configuration, the above-mentioned problems can be solved.

[0012]

Operation: That is, the mounting portions 3 provided with the mounting plates 4 having the protrusions 6 are provided on both sides of the electronic device unit 2, and the predetermined spacing L
The side surface 1A of the strut 1 facing each other has a notch hole 5 into which the protrusion 6 is inserted, and
When 1 is sandwiched, the projection 6 is inserted into the cutout hole 5, and the electronic device unit 2 is mounted so as to be positioned at a predetermined interval L.

Therefore, when mounting the electronic device unit 2 as described above, it is not necessary to screw the screws 11 and the electronic device unit 2 can be held by the mounting plate 4.
By pressing 2, the electronic device unit 2 can be easily mounted in a short time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of an embodiment according to the present invention,
(a) is a perspective view, (b) is an explanatory view of a main part, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of another embodiment of the present invention. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same objects.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a mounting portion 3 comprising a mounting plate 4 fixed to both side ends of the electronic device unit 2 and a projection 6 formed on the mounting plate 4 is provided. Mounting plates 4 provided on both sides of the electronic device unit 2 and fixed to both ends
The electronic device unit 2 is mounted on the column 1 by inserting the projection 6 into the notch hole 5 formed in the side surface 1A of the column 1 when the column 1 is clamped by.

The mounting plate 4 is made of a material having a spring property, and as shown in FIG. 2B, one end of the U-shape is fixed to the electronic device unit 2 and the other end has a width S. The protrusion 6 is formed by bending the tongue piece of.

On the other hand, the side surface 1A of the support column 1 is provided with a notch hole 5 having a width S1 slightly larger than the width S, and the electronic device unit 2 is moved so that the mounting plate 4 slides along the side surface 1A of the support column 1.
By pressing like B, the protrusion 6 falls into the cutout hole 5, and the electronic device unit 2 is mounted on the column 1.

Therefore, when the mounted electronic device unit 2 is removed, the electronic device unit 2 is pulled in the direction opposite to the arrow B so that the projection 6 is removed from the cutout hole 5.
Can be easily removed.

When an elastic member 7 such as a plate-shaped rubber is fixed to the front surface 1B of the support column 1 by an adhesive material, when the electronic device unit 2 is mounted on the support column 1, the mounting plate 4 and the front surface 1B of the support column 1 are separated from each other. Even if the column 1 vibrates due to an external shock generated during transportation, etc., the elastic member 7 is interposed between them, and the vibration is damped by the elastic member 7 so that the electronic device unit
It is possible to prevent the influence on 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the support 1 is formed so that the opening is located on the side surface 1A of the support 1 unlike FIG. 2, a cutout hole 5A having a width S1 is formed on the side surface 1A. By installing the electronic device unit 2 as shown above by pressing it as shown by the arrow B, and by sandwiching the column 1 by the mounting plates 4 fixed to both ends, the projection 6 is made to fall into the cutout hole 5A.
The electronic device unit 2 can be mounted on the column 1.

In the present invention, the projections 6 and the notch holes 5 and 5A are shown to be provided in two at each side end, but the number of the projections 6 and the notch holes 5 and 5A is It is necessary to increase the height H and depth D of the electronic device unit 2 depending on the size or weight of the electronic device unit 2 so that the electronic device unit 2 can be securely mounted so as not to fall off.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When the stanchions are clamped by the mounting plates fixed to both ends of the electronic equipment unit, the protrusions formed on the mounting board are inserted into the notch holes of the stanchion so that the electronic equipment unit can be mounted. The electronic device unit can be mounted without screwing the screws.

Therefore, as compared with the prior art, the number of assembling steps in the assembling work can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and the practical effect is great.
