Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は操作パネルを着脱可能とした車載用音響機器に係わり、特に、操作パネルの装着構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
車載用音響機器の操作パネルは、記録媒体挿入口を開放するために可倒式とし、さらに盗難を防止するために取り外し可能とするものがある。そのような従来の可倒式操作パネル着脱構造の例を図４〜図６により説明する。図４に示す機器本体１の前方に取付けられたサブパネル２の左右にアーム５、５（図では左側のもののみ示している）が固定されており、アーム５、５には夫々軸（図では見えていない）が立設されている。
【０００３】
操作パネル１０の左右側面には軸受（図では見えていない）が可動状態に埋め込まれ、圧縮コイルばねにより突出方向に付勢されている。この軸受がアーム５、５の軸と嵌合し操作パネル１０は回動自在に支持される。操作パネル１０が回動自在に支持された状態で上方に回動されると、図示していないロック機構によりロックされ、サブパネル２の前面を覆い使用状態となる。前記ロック機構のロックを解除すると、レバー４により操作パネル１０はその背面１０ａを押されて前方に倒される。なお、レバー４は図５に示すように本体側に回動自在に支持されており、ばねで突出方向に付勢されている。
【０００４】
操作パネル１０を取り外すときは、操作パネル１０を倒した状態で手前に引張ると、前記軸受がアーム５、５の軸に押され圧縮コイルばねの弾力に抗して操作パネル３の凹みの奥に移動し、軸受から軸が外れて操作パネル１０を機器本体１から離すことができる。
【０００５】
特開平１１−１２６４６９号公報に提案された可倒式操作パネルの装着構造では上記従来例のアーム５が回動自在に支持され、その軸が操作パネルの軸受けの凹みに突入する方向にばねで付勢されており、操作パネルを傾動させるレバーはサブパネルから直線状に出入する。
【０００６】
【特許文献１】
特開平１１−１２６４６９号公報（第４頁、図２、図６）
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記した従来のパネル可倒式操作パネルの装着構造では図５に示すように、操作パネル１０が回動した状態をスイッチ１１で検出させ、また、操作パネル１０をスムーズに回動させるように、一般的にレバー４がサブパネル２から大きく突出するように構成されている。
【０００８】
このようにレバー４がサブパネル２から大きく突出した状態で図６に示すように、操作パネル１０を機器本体１に取り付ける場合、操作パネル１０の一方をアームの軸に係合させて操作パネル１０を白矢印で示す方向に押し込むが、このとき操作パネル１０は機器本体１に対して傾斜した状態でレバー４を押すので、レバー４は黒矢印で示す方向に押され実線で示す位置から２点鎖線で示す位置に移動され、レバー４がロック状態となり取り付けが困難となることがあった。あるいは、レバー４が変形したり破損する恐れがあった。
【０００９】
この発明は上記した点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、操作パネルをスムーズにかつ容易に取り付けることが可能な可倒式操作パネルの装着構造を提供することにある。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の可倒式操作パネルの装着構造は、操作パネルを機器本体に回動可能に装着し、前記操作パネルをその背面を押圧して回動させるレバーを機器本体に設け、さらに前記操作パネルを機器本体に着脱可能とした車載用音響機器において、前記操作パネルの背面に前記レバーにより押圧される部分に沿ってその外側にリブを設けたものである。
【００１１】
また、前記可倒式操作パネルの装着構造において、前記操作パネルのリブに前記操作パネルを機器本体から取り外すときに前記レバーを通過させる切り欠きを設けたものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図１〜図３にこの発明の実施例である可倒式操作パネルの装着構造を示す。図に示す操作パネル３は従来例で説明した操作パネル１０と同様に機器本体１の前方に取付けられたサブパネル２の左右に設けられたアーム（図１では図示していない）に設けられた軸に回動可能かつ着脱自在に支持され、レバー４に押されて傾動する。
【００１３】
実施例の操作パネル３ではレバー４に押される押圧部３ａに沿ってその外側にリブ３ｂが設けられている。また、リブ３ｂの一部に切り欠き３ｃが設けられている。
【００１４】
図１に示すように、操作パネル３を機器本体１に取り付ける場合、操作パネル３の一方をアームの軸に係合させて操作パネル３を白矢印で示す方向に押し込むが、このとき操作パネル３は機器本体１に対して傾斜した状態でレバー４を押すので、レバー４は黒矢印で示す方向に押される。
【００１５】
このとき、レバー４の先端と操作パネル３は圧接状態にあるので、レバー４の先端はリブ３ｂに係止され、レバー４の先端の変位が押さえられる。そして、レバー４は操作パネル３に対して図２の実線で示す位置から２点鎖線で示す位置にスムーズに相対移動し操作パネル３を容易に装着することができる。
【００１６】
操作パネル３を外すときは、図３に示すように操作パネル３を倒すことにより、リブ３ｂの切り欠き３ｃの位置にレバー４の先端を合わせる。さらに、操作パネル３を白矢印で示す方向に引き抜くとレバー４の先端は欠き３ｃを通り押圧部３ａから外れ操作パネル３を容易に取り外すことができる。
【００１７】
【発明の効果】
この発明の可倒式操作パネルの装着構造によれば、操作パネルを傾動させるレバーを無理に変形させることがなく、操作パネルを本体に容易に装着できる。また、操作パネルのリブに切り欠きを設けたものは操作パネルを本体から容易に取り外すことがてきる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an on-vehicle audio device having a detachable operation panel, and more particularly to a mounting structure for an operation panel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Some operation panels of in-vehicle audio equipment are made foldable in order to open a recording medium insertion slot, and are removable in order to prevent theft. An example of such a conventional retractable operation panel attaching / detaching structure will be described with reference to FIGS. Arms 5 and 5 (only the left one is shown in the figure) are fixed to the left and right of a sub panel 2 attached to the front of the device main body 1 shown in FIG. (Not visible).
[0003]
Bearings (not visible in the figure) are embedded in the left and right side surfaces of the operation panel 10 in a movable state, and are urged in a projecting direction by a compression coil spring. This bearing is fitted to the shafts of the arms 5, 5, and the operation panel 10 is rotatably supported. When the operation panel 10 is turned upward while being rotatably supported, the operation panel 10 is locked by a lock mechanism (not shown), and covers the front surface of the sub panel 2 to be used. When the lock of the lock mechanism is released, the operation panel 10 is pushed by the lever 4 on its rear surface 10a and falls forward. The lever 4 is rotatably supported on the main body side as shown in FIG. 5, and is urged in a protruding direction by a spring.
[0004]
When removing the operation panel 10, if the operation panel 10 is pulled down and pulled forward, the bearing is pushed by the shafts of the arms 5 and 5, and the bearing is pushed into the recess of the operation panel 3 against the elasticity of the compression coil spring. The operation panel 10 can be moved away from the bearing and the operation panel 10 can be separated from the device main body 1.
[0005]
In the mounting structure of the retractable operation panel proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-126469, the arm 5 of the above-described conventional example is rotatably supported, and a spring is used in a direction in which its shaft projects into a recess of a bearing of the operation panel. The lever, which is biased and tilts the operation panel, linearly moves in and out of the sub panel.
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-11-126469 (page 4, FIG. 2, FIG. 6)
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the above-described conventional panel-retractable operation panel mounting structure, the switch 11 detects a state in which the operation panel 10 has been rotated, and the operation panel 10 can be smoothly rotated. Generally, the lever 4 is configured to protrude greatly from the sub panel 2.
[0008]
When the operation panel 10 is attached to the device main body 1 as shown in FIG. 6 with the lever 4 largely projecting from the sub-panel 2 in this manner, one of the operation panels 10 is engaged with a shaft of an arm to operate the operation panel 10. The operator pushes the lever 4 while the operation panel 10 is inclined with respect to the device main body 1 at this time, so that the lever 4 is pushed in the direction indicated by the black arrow and is indicated by a two-dot chain line from the position indicated by the solid line. In some cases, the lever 4 is moved to the position shown by the arrow, and the lever 4 is locked, which makes installation difficult. Alternatively, the lever 4 may be deformed or damaged.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure of a retractable operation panel on which an operation panel can be smoothly and easily mounted. .
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The mounting structure of the tiltable operation panel according to the present invention is characterized in that the operation panel is rotatably mounted on the device main body, and a lever for rotating the operation panel by pressing a back surface thereof is provided on the device main body. In the on-vehicle acoustic device, which is detachable from the device main body, a rib is provided on the rear surface of the operation panel along a portion pressed by the lever.
[0011]
Further, in the mounting structure of the retractable operation panel, a notch is provided in a rib of the operation panel to allow the lever to pass through when the operation panel is removed from a device main body.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a mounting structure of a retractable operation panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. An operation panel 3 shown in the figure is, similarly to the operation panel 10 described in the conventional example, a shaft provided on an arm (not shown in FIG. 1) provided on the left and right of a sub panel 2 mounted on the front of the device main body 1. The lever 4 is rotatably and detachably supported, and is pushed by the lever 4 to tilt.
[0013]
In the operation panel 3 of the embodiment, a rib 3b is provided on the outer side along the pressing portion 3a pressed by the lever 4. Further, a notch 3c is provided in a part of the rib 3b.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 1, when the operation panel 3 is attached to the device main body 1, one of the operation panels 3 is engaged with a shaft of an arm and the operation panel 3 is pushed in a direction indicated by a white arrow. Pushes the lever 4 in a state where the lever 4 is inclined with respect to the device main body 1, so that the lever 4 is pushed in the direction indicated by the black arrow.
[0015]
At this time, since the distal end of the lever 4 and the operation panel 3 are in pressure contact with each other, the distal end of the lever 4 is locked by the rib 3b, and the displacement of the distal end of the lever 4 is suppressed. Then, the lever 4 moves smoothly relative to the operation panel 3 from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2 to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, and the operation panel 3 can be easily mounted.
[0016]
When the operation panel 3 is removed, the tip of the lever 4 is adjusted to the position of the notch 3c of the rib 3b by tilting the operation panel 3 as shown in FIG. Further, when the operation panel 3 is pulled out in the direction indicated by the white arrow, the tip of the lever 4 passes through the notch 3c, comes off the pressing portion 3a, and the operation panel 3 can be easily removed.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the mounting structure of the folding operation panel of the present invention, the operation panel can be easily mounted on the main body without forcibly deforming the lever for tilting the operation panel. In the case where a cutout is provided in the rib of the operation panel, the operation panel can be easily removed from the main body.
