Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lock mechanism locking a sliding rail part at an optional length, and dispersing a load applied to the sliding rail part by solving a problem wherein a base for mounting a mounting object such as a measuring instrument mounted on a storage rack is formed into a structure drawn by sliding rails, and the sliding rails cannot be locked at a length in process of sliding for operation although the rails are intended to be locked at the length. <P>SOLUTION: In the storage rack for mounting a measuring instrument and the like, the storage rack structure is composed of a base for installing the measuring instrument and the like thereon, the sliding rails for drawing the base, and a fixation mechanism for fixing the sliding rails. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a storage rack structure for an electronic device, and more particularly to a mechanism for locking a slide rail of the storage rack.

  Conventionally, some slide rails installed on a storage rack (hereinafter referred to as a rack) for electronic devices have a lock function. Although not shown, the slide rail locking mechanism is a mechanism for maintaining a state in which the sliding rail portion reaches the maximum length. Therefore, in other states (in the middle of sliding and in the shortest storage state), the slide rail movable portion is not locked (fixed).

  This is because when a slide rail is installed and used in a rack, it is used mainly for the purpose of making it easy to remove a load such as a measuring instrument from the rack.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which a slide rail is provided in a housing of an electronic device and a drawer is pulled out by the slide rail.
JP 2008-60229 A

  In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the platform on which the measuring instrument or the like mounted on the rack (rack) is placed has a structure that is pulled out by a slide rail. There was a problem that I couldn't lock it.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a lock mechanism that enables locking of a sliding rail portion at an arbitrary length and distributes a load applied to the slide rail portion.

  The storage rack structure of the present invention is characterized in that, in a storage rack on which a measuring instrument or the like is mounted, the storage rack is configured by a base on which the measuring instrument or the like is installed, a slide rail that pulls out the base, and a fixing mechanism that fixes the slide rail .

  According to the present invention, the slide rail can be locked with an arbitrary length without depending on the lock mechanism of the slide rail mounted on the rack. Since the load applied to the slide rail is distributed to the latch by the presence of the latch, the slide rail itself can be prevented from being damaged.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view and a side view showing a storage rack according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view of the rack 1. FIG. 1B is a side view of the rack 1. FIG. 1C is an enlarged view of the portion a.

  In FIG. 1, a rack 1 has a main body including a frame 2, a cover (not shown), and a base 3, and a slide rail 5 supported by the frame 2 so that a measuring instrument or the like can be mounted on the inside thereof. Have Fig.1 (a) (b) shows the state which has not attached the cover.

  In FIG. 1B, a metal plate is mounted on the slide rail 5 so that it can be used as the work table 6.

  FIG. 2 is a top view showing a state in which the slide rail 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a maximum length.

  Next, a lock mechanism for the work table 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a top view showing the locking mechanism according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1 (c), a hole 42 into which a pillar of a latch into which a pillar of a latch (hereinafter referred to as a latch) 4 that can be moved to the left and right can be inserted to an arbitrary position on the side surface of the slide rail 5 and the work table 6 is provided. The position of the hole 42 into which the pillar of the latch enters is provided at a position where it is desired to lock. By manually sliding the latch 4 provided on the frame 2 in the left-right direction indicated by the latch operating direction 43, the latch 4 is inserted into the hole 42 into which the latch column enters, and the slide rail 5 is locked. The slide rail 5 is supported by the latch 4 inserted into the hole 42 into which the pillar of the latch enters, and the load is distributed to the latch 4 side. Even if the latch 5 is provided only on one side, the lock function is effective. However, when the load distribution on the slide rail 5 is taken into consideration, the load can be more effectively distributed by providing the latch 4 on the other side. .

  The present invention does not depend on the slide rail locking mechanism mounted on the rack, and allows the slide rail to be locked at an arbitrary length. Since the load applied to the slide rail is distributed to the latch by the presence of the latch, the slide rail itself can be prevented from being damaged.

It is the front view and side view which show the storage rack which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is the top view which made the workbench based on embodiment of this invention the maximum length state. It is a top view which shows the locking mechanism which concerns on embodiment of this invention.
