  FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part for explaining the movement of the locking mechanism when the lid of the power supply separation type amplifier according to the present embodiment is closed, and FIG. 8 is the locking when the lid is opened. It is a principal part expanded sectional view for demonstrating the motion of a mechanism. Next, with reference to these FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the movement of each part of the locking mechanism when the lid is opened and closed will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when closing the lid portion 130, the shaft portion 121 and the hole portion 131 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that are the connecting portion between the lid portion 130 and the main body portion 120 are used as rotation axes. The lower end of the lid portion 130 located on the opposite side to the side on which the rotation shaft is provided rotates by moving in a direction approaching the main body portion 120 (in the direction of arrow A1 in the figure).

  As shown in FIG. 7A, in the state where the locked portion 170 and the locking portion 180 are separated from each other, the beam portion 181 does not receive any external force, so that the locking portion 180 is not deformed.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, in a state where the locked portion 170 and the locking portion 180 start to contact, the tip of the hook portion 183 provided on the beam portion 181 contacts the stepped portion 173, As a result of this contact, the deformation 181a of the beam portion 181 is elastically bent and twisted slightly in the direction of the arrow C shown in FIGS. Thereby, the substantially central portion of the beam portion 181 provided with the operation knob 182 and the hook portion 183 is displaced downward (that is, in a direction away from the step portion 173), and the lid portion 130 is moved. Then, the substantially central portion moves so as to ride on the stepped portion 173.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, in a state in which the substantially central portion has climbed over the stepped portion 173, the deformation of the deformation margin 181a is released, and the substantially central portion is directed upward (that is, in the stepped portion 173). The hook portion 183 is hooked on the step portion 173 by being displaced (toward the approaching direction). Thereby, the cover part 130 will be in the state latched by the main-body part 120, and a closed state will be maintained. Note that in the state shown in FIG. 7C, the ends of the pair of protrusions 184 are in a state of being opposed to the pair of protrusions 174 and are in light contact or non-contact with a slight gap.

This is done by rotating in the direction of the middle arrow A2.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (A), when the operator or the like picks up the operation knob 182 with his / her finger, the beam section 181 extends substantially at the center of the beam section 181 where the operation knob 182 and the hook section 183 are provided. A force is applied in the direction around the axis extending in the direction parallel to the existing direction (in the direction of arrow B in the figure), and in response to this, the direction of the arrow C shown in FIGS. Toward the surface, elastic deformation and torsional deformation occur. Thereby, the said substantially center part is displaced toward the downward side (namely, toward the direction away from the level | step-difference part 173).

  At this time, the bending deformation and the torsional deformation that occur in the deformation margin 181a are generated starting from a portion where the tips of the pair of protrusions 184 contact the pair of protrusions 174 (that is, the axis line overlaps the contact portion). ) Here, since the contact portions are spaced apart from each other in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the beam portion 181, a large displacement amount of the hook portion 183 (that is, a movement stroke of the hook portion 183) is ensured. Will be.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (B), by moving the lower end of the lid part 130 in the direction away from the main body part 120 with the operation knob 182 picked with a finger, the hook part 183 is not caught by the step part 173, The lid 130 moves smoothly. As a result, the locking of the lid portion 130 with respect to the main body portion 120 is released, and then the open state is realized by further moving the lower end of the lid portion 130 away from the main body portion 120 as shown in FIG. Will be.

  By using the power source separation type amplifier 100 in the present embodiment described above or the casing 110 as provided therein, a smooth opening and closing operation with one hand can be realized with a simple configuration.

  In other words, as described above, by operating the operation knob 182, a hook that is hooked on the stepped portion 173 is formed by causing not only bending deformation but also torsional deformation at the deformation margin 181 a of the beam portion 181. A large movement stroke of the hook portion 183 required to make the portion 183 not caught by the step portion 173 can be secured, and a smooth opening / closing operation can be realized with a simple configuration.

  In addition, by configuring the deformation margin 181a to generate not only bending deformation but also torsional deformation, a large moving stroke is generated in the hook portion 183 with a small force, which is very advantageous in terms of operability. It will be a thing.

  In addition, by adopting the above-described configuration, the portion where the deformation margin 181a is formed becomes the left and right direction of the operation knob 182 and the hook portion 183, so that the locking portion 180 does not protrude greatly toward the outside of the housing. In addition, the effect that the space can be effectively used is also obtained.

  Furthermore, according to the above configuration, the locked portion 170 and the locking portion 180 that are locking mechanisms are retracted inward from the outer end surface of the housing 110 (that is, the lower surface of the housing 110) in the closed state. Therefore, they do not protrude toward the outside of the housing 110, which is advantageous in terms of design and narrowing of the installation space.

  In the embodiment of the present invention described above, the case where the beam portion 181 constituting the locking portion 180 is configured by a fixed beam (both-end supported beam) whose both ends are fixed to the lid portion 130 is exemplified. The beam portion 181 may be a cantilever beam having only one end fixed to the lid portion 130.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, each of the pair of protrusions 174 provided on the main body 120 is formed at the tip of the pair of protrusions 184 provided on the lid 130 in the closed state. Although the case where they are configured to contact each other is illustrated, the protrusions 174 and the protrusions 184 do not necessarily need to be in contact with each other in the closed state, and may be in contact with each other by operating the operation knob 182. The pair of protrusions 174 may be arranged with a slight gap at the tips of the pair of protrusions 184 in the closed state.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the case where the projection part 184 as the contact part is provided on the lid part 130 and the base point of the deformation deformation 181a is provided is exemplified. This configuration is not necessarily required, and it is naturally possible to configure the beam portion 181 so as to be deformed without contacting the main body portion 120.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, a locking mechanism is provided on the lower end side opposite to the upper end side of the casing 110 provided with the rotation shaft of the lid portion 130. Although the case has been illustrated, it is naturally possible to provide the locking mechanism on the right side or the left side.

  In the embodiment of the present invention described above, the case where the operation knob 182 and the hook portion 183 are provided at the same position in the substantially central portion in the extending direction of the beam portion 181 is exemplified. It may be provided at a different position in the extending direction of the portion 181. Further, the protruding directions of the operation knob 182 and the hook portion 183 projecting from the beam portion 181 do not necessarily have to be the opposite directions, and are different in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the beam portion 181. As long as it is, the operability will not be reduced.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the case where the locking mechanism is provided so as to recede inward from the outer end surface of the housing 110 is illustrated, but this is configured to project outward. There is no problem.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the case where both the locked portion 170 and the locking portion 180 are configured as members integral with the main body portion 120 and the lid portion 130 is exemplified. Of course, these may be constituted by separate members.

  Thus, the one embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative in all respects and is not restrictive. The technical scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
