Description

  The present invention relates to an information device used by being attached to a wall.

  Conventionally, for this type of information device, for example, an interphone system is constructed by connecting a door phone unit as a counterpart device installed outside the home using a signal line. There are devices that can communicate with each other (interphone master unit) (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The information device exemplified in Patent Document 1 is attached in a form in which the rear part of the container is embedded in the wall. An information device used as an interphone master unit includes an image display unit, and can display an image captured by the camera of the counterpart device by being connected to the counterpart device provided with the camera. There is also.

  By the way, in the information device described above, the internal circuit such as the power supply circuit and the information output means such as the video display unit are all arranged in one container, and therefore the function of the information device (for example, the screen size of the video display unit). Etc.), it is necessary to replace the entire information device.

  On the other hand, a main body module having a power circuit and an information port for exchanging information and fixed to the wall, and detachably covered on the front side of the main body module, is supplied with power from the power circuit of the main body module. It is considered that the information device is divided into an exposed panel having an information output means, and the exposed panel can be replaced separately from the main body module.

The spring is energized, and the operating portion 28a is pushed downward against the spring force of the coil spring to move to the release position.

  In this configuration example, the locking hole 24 is formed in the main body module M, and the locking claw 26 is provided in the exposed panel P. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The engaging means may be configured by providing the engaging claw in the main body module M and providing the engaging hole 24 in the exposed panel P instead of the engaging claw 26.

(Embodiment 1)
The information device A according to the present embodiment includes the main body module together with the hooking means in a state in which the engagement between the locking hole (main locking hole) 24 and the locking claw (main locking claw) 26 as the engaging means is released. M differs from the information device A having the above basic configuration in that M has temporary holding means for holding the exposed panel. In the example of FIG. 1, a hooking hole 37 (see FIG. 5A) is formed on the lower mounting piece 10 of the main body module M instead of the collar piece 23, and the plate frame 13 of the exposed panel P is formed. A hooking projection 38 inserted into the hooking hole 37 instead of the hooking piece 25 is projected at the lower end of the hooking portion, and the hooking hole 37 and the hooking protrusion 38 constitute hooking means.

  In the present embodiment, the temporary holding means includes an auxiliary locking hole 30 provided in the upper mounting piece 10 of the main body module M and the auxiliary locking hole 30 on the back side of the exposed panel P as shown in FIG. And auxiliary latching claws 31 projecting rearward from the positions corresponding to. The auxiliary locking hole 30 is disposed above the locking hole 24. The auxiliary locking claw 31 is formed of a rubber-elastic material (for example, a synthetic rubber material), and the auxiliary locking claw 31 is provided with an auxiliary locking portion 31a that protrudes on both sides in the vertical direction. ing. Thus, the auxiliary locking claw 31 of the exposed panel P is inserted into the auxiliary locking hole 30 of the main body module M in a state where the hooking hole 37 and the hooking protrusion 38 as the hooking means are engaged with each other. If the auxiliary locking part 31a is locked to the opening periphery of the auxiliary locking hole 30 on the side, the exposed panel P is held by the main body module M.

  Here, the auxiliary locking claw 31 has an auxiliary locking hole after the engagement between the locking hole 24 and the locking claw 26 is released (that is, after the locking claw 26 is removed from the locking hole 24). The protruding height from the back surface of the exposed panel P is set to be larger than that of the locking claw 26 so as to come out of the locking claw 26. That is, even when the engagement between the engagement hole 24 and the engagement claw 26 is released in a state where the engagement hole 37 and the engagement projection 38 as the engagement means are engaged with each other, the auxiliary engagement claw 31 is engaged with the auxiliary engagement. As a result, the exposed panel P is held in the main body module P.

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, when the exposed panel P is removed from the main body module M, the auxiliary locking claw is in a state in which the engagement between the locking hole 24 and the locking claw 26 is released as shown in FIG. 31 is engaged with the auxiliary locking hole 30, and the exposed panel P is held by the main body module M. In short, the exposed panel P is not detached from the main body module M just by releasing the engagement of the engaging means (the locking claw 26 and the locking hole 24), and the falling of the exposed panel P can be prevented. it can. Further, since the auxiliary locking claw 31 is made of a material having rubber elasticity, the exposed panel P is pulled from the main body module M in a state where the engagement between the locking hole 24 and the locking claw 26 is released as shown in FIG. It is possible to easily release the engagement between the auxiliary locking claw 31 and the auxiliary locking hole 30 by removing it so that it is peeled off. Therefore, the provision of the temporary holding means increases the trouble of removing the exposed panel P. There is no.

  In the present embodiment, the auxiliary locking hole 30 is formed in the main body module M, and the auxiliary locking claw 31 is provided in the exposed panel P. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The temporary holding means may be configured by providing 31 in the main body module M and providing the auxiliary locking holes 30 in the exposed panel P.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the hooking means is constituted by the hooking hole 37 and the hooking protrusion 38, but the hook piece 23 is arranged on the main body module M and the hooking piece 25 is arranged on the exposed panel P as in the above basic structure. Thus, the hooking means may be configured.

  Other configurations and functions are the same as the basic configuration.

(Embodiment 2)
In the information device A of the present embodiment, the auxiliary locking claw 31 has a shape extending from the tip of the locking claw (main locking claw) 26, and the locking hole (main locking hole) 24 is auxiliary locked. It differs from the information apparatus A of Embodiment 1 in that it is also used as a hole.

  That is, here, the auxiliary locking claw 31 is formed so as to protrude rearward from the tip of the locking claw 26 along the protruding direction of the locking claw 26 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the auxiliary locking claw 31 is inserted into the same locking hole 24 as the locking claw 26. Here, since the auxiliary locking claw 31 is extended from the front end portion of the locking claw 26, the auxiliary locking claw 31 does not move even when the engagement between the locking hole 24 and the locking claw 26 is released. As a result, the exposed panel P is held by the main body module P. The auxiliary locking portion 31 a protrudes upward from the tip end portion of the auxiliary locking claw 31.

  According to this configuration, the number of holes formed in the main body module M can be reduced and the strength of the main body module M is improved as compared with the case where the auxiliary locking holes 30 are formed separately from the locking holes 24. There is an advantage.

  Other configurations and functions are the same as those of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the string body 32 is housed in the main body module M so as to be wound around the reel 32a housed in the body 3 of the main body module M, and is drawn out from the string outlet 2a. An upper limit is specified. Here, the reel 32a is spring-biased by a spring member (not shown) in such a direction as to wind up the string body 32 pulled out from the string pulling outlet 2a. As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the attachment means 33 includes a hook hook 33a coupled to the one end of the string body 32, and a hook hook formed on a portion corresponding to the string pulling outlet 2a on the back side of the exposed panel P. It is comprised with the hole 33b for hooks which can hook 33a. In addition, even if the string body 32 is wound around the reel 32a, the hook 33a does not pass through the string pulling outlet 2a so that the one end of the string body 32 is not wound into the main body module M. Is formed.

  According to the configuration described above, the exposed panel P is held by the main body module M by the string body 32 in a state where the engagement of the engaging means (the locking claw 26 and the locking hole 24) is released. . At this time, the width of the gap generated between the exposed panel P and the main body module M can be arbitrarily set according to the length of the string body 32 drawn from the main body module M. For example, the drawable string body If 32 is defined to be long, a relatively large gap can be secured between the exposed panel P and the body module M. Here, since the string body 32 is wound around the reel 32a in the main body module M, the string body 32 can be automatically stored in the main body module M regardless of the length of the string body 32. It is not necessary to secure a space for storing the string body 32 between the exposed panel P.

  Further, as another configuration example of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the one end portion of the cord body 32 and a portion corresponding to the cord pulling outlet 2a on the back side of the exposed panel P Surface fasteners 33c and 33d, which are paired with a cloth having a projection on the surface and a pile-shaped surface and are detachably coupled, may be attached, and the attachment means 33 may be configured by the surface fasteners 33c and 33d. . In this case, the hook-and-loop fastener 33c attached to the one end portion of the string body 32 is formed in a size that does not pass through the string pulling outlet 2a. According to this configuration, the hook-and-loop fasteners 33c and 33d are coupled to each other simply by covering the main body module M with the exposed panel P, and the main body module M can hold the exposed panel P by the temporary holding means. Moreover, when the exposed panel P is removed from the main body module M, the exposed panel is further removed from the state shown in FIG. 6A in which the string body 32 is pulled out to the limit (the exposed panel is inclined by θmax with respect to the main body module). By tilting P and peeling it off from the main body module M, the coupling of the hook-and-loop fasteners 33c and 33d can be easily released. Therefore, the provision of the temporary holding means does not increase the trouble of removing the exposed panel P. . When the coupling of the hook-and-loop fasteners 33c and 33d is released, the hook-and-loop fastener 33c coupled to one end of the string body 32 is in a position where the string body 32 is wound around the reel 32a to block the string pulling outlet 2a. Moving.

  Furthermore, the string body 32 may be housed in the main body module M so as to be pulled out by a structure as shown in FIG. 7 instead of the reel 32a. In the example of FIG. 7, a weight 32 b is attached to the other end portion (end portion in the main body module M) of the string body 32. Accordingly, from the state of FIG. 7 in which the string body 32 is pulled out to the limit (the state where the exposed panel P is inclined by θmax with respect to the main body module M), the exposed panel P is further tilted and the exposed panel P is pulled from the main body module M. By peeling off, the coupling of the hook-and-loop fasteners 33c and 33d can be easily released. At this time, the string body 32 is pulled into the main body module M by the weight of the weight 32b, so that it is coupled to one end of the string body 32. The hook-and-loop fastener 33c moves to a position for closing the string drawing outlet 2a.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the string body 32 is accommodated in the main body module M and one end of the string body 32 is attached to the exposed panel P is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The temporary holding means may be configured by storing in the exposed panel P and attaching one end of the string 32 to the main body module M.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the exposed panel P, an example in which the size of the video display unit 15 is smaller than the exposed panel P of FIG. 2 and the arrangement of the operation handles 17a and the like is different is illustrated. The exposed panel P may be applied.

  Other configurations and functions are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  According to this configuration, when the exposed panel P is removed from the main body module M, the exposed panel P is inclined with respect to the main body module M while the leaf spring 34 is bent, and the leaf spring 34 is bent to the limit. From this state (the state in which the exposed panel P is inclined by θmax with respect to the main body module M), the exposed panel P is further inclined and peeled off from the main body module M, so that the hook-and-loop fastener 33c can be easily released. At this time, when the coupling of the hook-and-loop fastener 33c is released, the leaf spring 34 is brought into a state (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 8) with the other end in contact with the front surface of the body module M by its own elasticity. Return.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which one end portion of the leaf spring 34 is fixed to the main body module M and the other end portion of the leaf spring 34 is attached to the exposed panel P is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The temporary holding means may be configured by fixing one end portion of the leaf spring 34 to the back surface of the exposed panel P and attaching the other end portion of the leaf spring 34 to the main body module M.

  Further, if the hanging strap 35 is formed in a ring shape that can be inserted into the wrist of a human body, the hanging strap 35 is hung on the wrist of the operator when the exposed panel P is attached or detached, thereby preventing the exposed panel P from falling. You can also use it. In this case, it is desirable that the hanging strap 35 is disposed in a portion of the plate frame 13 that is hidden by the plate cover 19.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the hanging strap 35 is provided on the exposed panel P and the hook 36 is provided on the main body module M is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The temporary holding means may be configured by providing the hook 36 on the back side of the exposed panel P.

  9 illustrates an example of the exposed panel P in which the size of the image display unit 15 is smaller than that of the exposed panel P in FIG. 2 and the arrangement of the operation handles 17a and the like is different. The exposed panel P may be applied.

(Embodiment 6)
The information device A of the present embodiment is different from the information device A of each of the above embodiments in that the lower end portion of the exposed panel P is configured to be pivotally supported by the main body module M by a rotation shaft.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10A, a rotation shaft 46 disposed along the left-right direction is provided at the lower end portion of the main body module M, and the rotation shaft 46 is inserted into the lower end portion of the exposed panel P. A bearing portion 47 is provided. As shown in FIG. 10B, the bearing portion 47 protrudes rearward from the back surface of the plate frame 13 and the tip portion is divided into two branches. The tip portion is in a state where the interval between the divided tip portions is widened. A rotating shaft 46 is introduced between them.

  Thus, with the rotary shaft 46 of the main body module M being pivotally supported by the bearing portion 47 of the exposed panel P, the exposed panel P is rotated around the lower side of the front surface of the main body module M using the rotary shaft 46 as a fulcrum. The exposed panel P is attached to the main body module M by pressing the upper end portion of the exposed panel P against the main body module M side.

  According to this configuration, the exposed panel P is held by the main body module M in a state where the rotating shaft 46 is introduced into the bearing portion 47, so that the exposed panel P can be prevented from dropping when the exposed panel P is removed. There is an advantage.

As shown in FIG. 12B, the information device A of the present configuration example forms a locking hole (main locking hole) 24 instead of the collar piece 23 on the lower mounting piece 10 of the main body module M, The exposed panel P is different from the information device A having the above basic configuration in that a locking claw (main locking claw) 26 is provided in place of the hook piece 25.

  That is, in this configuration example, a coupling method using a combination of the locking claw 26 and the locking hole 24 is adopted at both upper and lower ends of the main body module M. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12A, the exposed panel P has an operation portion 28 a that is exposed to the front side from the upper end portion of the plate frame 13, and the operation portion 28 a is provided at the lower end of the plate frame 13. An operation element 28 is provided to be exposed to the front side from the section. Here, the lower operation element 28 is connected to the lower locking claw 26, and a locking portion 27 that protrudes downward is provided at the tip of the locking claw 26. Therefore, the lower operation element 28 is operated so as to move upward, thereby releasing the engagement between the locking claw 26 and the main body module M.

  According to the configuration of this configuration example, when the exposed panel P is attached to the main body module M, the exposed panel P is pressed against the main body module M side so that all the locking claws 26 of the exposed panel P are attached to the main body module M. If the locking portions 27 of all the locking claws 26 are locked to the peripheral edges of the locking holes 24 on the back side of the mounting piece 10, the exposed panel P is mounted on the main body module M.
