DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an HA module used for home security, house control, an energy system, home banking, home shopping, etc., and embedded and mounted on a wall or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional HA module, FIG.
1 shows an intercom with a television 1 in which two modules are provided in series. The intercom 1 with a television is installed on an indoor wall or the like, and is used by being connected to an outdoor door phone with a camera (not shown). This TV intercom 1
Is a CRT unit 11 on which a monitor television 10 such as a smoke panel is mounted, a receiver 12 for talking to an outdoor visitor, and a push button (not shown) provided on the door phone handset with a camera for the visitor. And a door phone master unit unit 15 having an operation panel 14 provided with various operation buttons and various display units. Then, an image picked up by a monitor camera (not shown) of the camera-equipped doorphone slave unit is displayed on the monitor television 10 of the intercom 1 with television. The intercom with a television 1 shown in FIG. 3 is of a horizontal installation type in which a CRT unit section 11 and a door phone master unit section 15 are arranged side by side on the left and right. When these are mounted on a wall surface, an opening 16 having a predetermined size is first provided on the wall surface, and a reinforcing building material 17 is mounted around the opening 16. Next, the CRT unit 11
And the bases 19, 20 of the doorphone master unit unit 15 are fixed to the respective bases 19, 20 by four mounting screws 18.
Is fixed to the unit connecting metal fitting 21 to be connected. Then, after inserting the electric wire 22 into the connected bases 19 and 20,
The bases 19 and 20 are screwed and fixed to the reinforcing building material 17 using four mounting wood screws 23. Thereafter, after performing wiring work, hooks 26 provided on the upper portions of covers 24 and 25 covering the periphery of the CRT unit 11 and the doorphone master unit 15 are hooked on hooks 27 provided on the bases 19 and 20. , And cover fixing screws 28, 29 through fixing holes 19a, 20a provided in the bases 19, 20 through screw holes (not shown) provided in the lower portions of the covers 24, 25.
Are fixed by screwing. Since the cover set screws 28 and 29 are screwed into the lower side surfaces of the covers 24 and 25, the cover set screws 2 are attached to the front of the HA module.
8, 8 and 29 are not exposed, so that the appearance is not impaired.

However, in the HA module configured as described above, the covers 24, 25
In order to tighten the cover set screws 28 and 29 with a screwdriver at the lower part of the cover 24, as shown in FIG.
Where there is no obstacle on the lower surface of the cover 25 that hinders screwing by the driver (for example, about 30
(where there is no obstacle within 10 cm). Therefore, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5A, the horizontal installation type in which the CRT unit 11 and the intercom master unit 15 are arranged side by side can be installed without any problem.
As shown in (b), in a vertical installation type (vertical stacking connection installation) in which the CRT unit section 11 and the door phone parent device unit section 15 are arranged vertically, the unit section installed on the top is covered with a cover screw 28, At 29, it was difficult to fix it, so it was not possible to easily attach it vertically. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an HA module that can easily be connected in a vertical stack without damaging the appearance. is there.

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
In an HA module including a base fixed to a structure such as a wall surface and a cover attached to the base together with a main body unit including an HA device, the base and the cover are screwed together at a front surface of the cover. A screw hole for inserting a screw to be fixed, and a decorative cover fitted and fixed in the screw hole and covering the screw hole are provided. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the HA module according to the first aspect, the cover includes a notch for engaging a detachable member with the decorative cover when the decorative cover is removed from the screw hole. It is characterized by the following.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An HA module according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B show a CRT unit 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 1A shows a front view, FIG. 1B shows a side sectional view, and FIG. 1C shows a bottom view. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a fitting portion between the base 19 and the cover 24 of the CRT unit according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the same parts as those of the HA module shown in the section of the prior art are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Figure 1 shows a thin CR with a thinner part protruding from the wall.
This is a T unit. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a smoke panel, on which an image picked up by a monitor camera (not shown) of an intercom with a camera (not shown) is displayed. The CRT unit section 11 is a rectangular parallelepiped HA module unit having a vertically-long rectangular bottom surface, and a cover 24 is attached to the front and peripheral edges thereof. In addition, a slide switch 11a is provided below the monitor TV 10 on the front of the cover 24, so that the brightness of an image displayed on the monitor TV 10 can be adjusted. In the above-described CRT unit 11, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the base 19 and the cover 24 are connected to the CRT unit 11.
Are screwed and fixed with cover set screws B at two locations vertically above and below a screw hole A provided on the front surface of the device. Screw hole A
The upper and lower ends of the cover 24 form a rectangular recess, and both ends are provided with insertion holes (not shown) through which cover set screws B are inserted. 1 and 2, reference numeral C denotes a decorative cover, which is fitted and fixed in the screw hole A and covers the screw hole A. The decorative cover C has a shape of a screw hole A and is fitted and fixed from the front side of the cover 24. The role of preventing the screw head of the cover set screw B from being exposed on the front side of the cover 24 and impairing the appearance. It fulfills. Further, a notch D inclined in the opening direction from the front surface of the cover 24 is provided on the periphery of the opening of the screw hole A, and the tip of a detaching member (not shown) such as a flathead screwdriver is connected to the notch. By inserting from the position D, the tip of the detaching member is engaged with the back surface or the side surface of the decorative cover C. The cutout portion D allows the decorative cover C to be easily pulled out from the screw hole A with a detaching member. In the HA module having the above-described configuration, when fixing the cover 24 to the base 19,
Since there is no need to screw a cover set screw at the lower part of the module, a plurality of HA modules can be easily vertically connected and connected. In addition, even when one HA module is mounted, even if there is an obstacle within 30 cm from the bottom of the main body, the mounting operation can be performed without any trouble. Furthermore, since the cover set screw B is not exposed to the outside by attaching the decorative cover C, an HA module excellent in design can be provided. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the HA module of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the contents described in the appended claims. Is included.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the cover is fixed to the base, it is not necessary to screw the cover set screw at the lower portion of the cover or the like. H can be easily mounted and connected in a vertical stack, and the cover set screw is exposed, so that the aesthetic appearance is not impaired.
There is an effect that the A module can be provided.
