Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

INVENTION The present invention relates to a switch within the case, on the operation unit of the dryer construction is pressed by the switch operating section panel covering the case has.

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in a dry燥機to cover the operation section for the operation of the operation, a predetermined case, the wiring board housed within the case, switches mounted on the wiring board, the case It comprises a panel and a switch operation unit provided on the panel and used for pressing the switch.

[0003]

In the above configuration, the switch in the case and the switch operating portion of the panel may be displaced due to variations in the manufacturing dimensions of the case, variations in the mounting, or deformation due to a change in temperature. The distance is not as prescribed, and the distance between them is particularly large, so that the stroke of the operation increases, and there is a problem that the switch cannot be reliably operated by lightly pressing.

In order to solve the above problem, what is conventionally performed is to increase the number of fixing screws and fixing claws of the case, which complicates the structure and increases the cost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its object is to provide a simple structure and to prevent variations in manufacturing dimensions of a case, variations in mounting, and deformation due to a change in temperature. there the distance between the switch operation of the switch and the panel in the case resulting in the routinely Ho Isuzu constant, to provide a <br/> operating device excellent dryer can achieve operability of stabilization.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in the operation device for a dryer according to the present invention, a wiring board on which necessary switches are mounted is housed in a case, and the switches are mounted on the case. The switch is operated by a switch operating portion of the covered panel, and the outer surface of the inner portion of the case located ahead of the switch operating portion in the pressing direction is provided between the opposing rigid member and a restricting member made of a rigid body.規 制 It is characterized in that a regulation receiving member having a length extending over the entire length is provided.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned means, the distance between the switch in the case and the switch operating portion of the panel does not become prescribed due to the variation in the manufacturing dimensions of the case, the variation in the mounting, or the deformation due to the temperature change. In particular, in a situation where the separation is large, the outer surface of the inner part of the case is displaced toward the restricting member, while the restricting receiving member abuts against the restricting member and is pushed back by the restricting member. Acts to keep the distance from the switch operation part of the panel almost constant as prescribed.

[0008]

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 2 shows the entire structure of the dryer.
A rotating drum 2 is provided in an outer box 1, and an entrance 3 communicating with the inside of the rotating drum 2 is opened and closed by a door 4, and an operation device 5 is provided on the right side in a lower part view of the entrance 3.

As shown in detail in FIG. 1, the operating device 5 mounts a case 6 formed of a rectangular container made of a plastic molded product having an open front surface and a plurality of necessary switches 7 such as tact switches. L which is a display element
The wiring board 8 mounted and fixed in the case 6 by mounting an ED or the like (not shown).
The panel 10 is mainly composed of a plastic molded product panel 10 fixed by, for example, and a switch operation unit 11 is provided on the panel 10 at a position corresponding to each of the switches 7, for example, as shown in FIG. The slits 12 are provided so as to be able to be elastically pushed, and each of the switches 7 can be pushed by the pushing.

A recess 13 is formed at each end of the switch operating section 11, and this recess 13 is fitted to the end of each actuator section 7a of the switch 7 so that the switch 7 can be pressed more reliably. I have to.

A display sheet 14 for waterproofing is adhered to the surface of the panel 10.
As shown in FIG. 4, operation display sections 15 such as power-on and power-off are provided at positions corresponding to the switch operation sections 11, respectively.
4, at a position corresponding to the LED or the like (display element),
A content display section 16 for displaying the content selected by the switch 7 is provided.

On the other hand, a plurality of thin columnar bosses 17 are formed on the outer outer surface 6a of the case 6, which is located ahead of the switch operating portion 11 in the pressing direction, together with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 18 as restriction receiving members. Further, a drum support 19 made of, for example, a steel plate exists as a restricting member made of a rigid body further ahead of the boss 17, and between the drum support 19 and the inner surface 6 a of the case 6. The boss 17 has a length that is almost the entire length.

The drum support 19 is connected to the rotary drum 2.
Is rotatably supported.

Now, in the case of the above-described configuration,
Variations in manufacturing dimensions and mounting in case 6
Alternatively, if there is no deformation due to a change in temperature, case 6
(In this case, the distance L between the inner surface of the recess 13 and the tip of each actuator 7a of the switch 7) is as specified, and therefore, as specified. , Switch operation unit 1
The switch 7 can be reliably operated simply by pressing the button 1 lightly.

On the other hand, the case 6 has a variation in manufacturing dimensions, a variation in mounting, a deformation due to a change in temperature, and the like.
When the distance (L) from the switch operation section 11 to the switch operation section 11 is not as specified, and particularly when the distance therebetween is large, the rear outer surface 6a of the case 6 is displaced toward the drum support 19, whereas the case 6 The boss 17 provided on the outer surface 6a of the inner surface of the drum abuts against the drum support 19 and is pushed forward by the drum support 19. Accordingly, the depth of the case 6 and, consequently, the switch 7 approach the switch operation unit 11, and the distance between the switch 7 and the switch operation unit 11 is corrected almost as prescribed. Therefore, in this case, Also,
The switch 7 can be reliably operated by simply pressing the switch operation unit 11 lightly.

In addition, the structure required for this is simple compared to the case where the number of fixing screws and fixing claws of the conventional case is increased by merely providing the boss 17 on the outer surface 6a at the back of the case 6, and therefore, it is simple. Costs can be kept low.

The regulation receiving member exemplified by the boss 17 may be other than that, for example, a rib, and the regulation member exemplified by the drum support 19 may be appropriately changed. Is good .

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0020]

As is apparent from the above description, the operating device of the dryer of the present invention accommodates a wiring board on which necessary switches are mounted in a case, and switches the switches by a panel covering the case. A switch operating portion having a push operation, the outer surface of the inner part of the case located ahead of the switch operating portion in the pressing direction, the length of which is almost the entire length between the opposing rigid member and the restricting member made of the opposed rigid body. It is characterized by the provision of a regulation receiving member, whereby the switch in the case can be manufactured with a simple structure against variations in manufacturing dimensions of the case, variations in mounting, deformation due to temperature change, etc. The distance between the switch and the switch operation section of the panel can be made substantially constant as prescribed, and an excellent effect of stabilizing the operability can be achieved.
