[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bearing structure used for mounting an electronic component having a rotating shaft on a panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a mounting structure for mounting an electronic component having a rotating shaft, for example, a rotary switch 1, whose terminals are soldered to a printed circuit board 4, to a panel 3 using a conventional nut 2. is there.

[0003]

In this case, for example, a knob (not shown) is attached to the tip of the shaft 1a of the rotary switch 1 protruding from an operation panel (not shown) of the electronic device, and the user operates the knob. However, the distance between the rotary switch 1 and the knob may be long due to the structure of the device. Thus, the shaft 1
If the length a is long, the tip of the shaft 1a swings only with the bearing 1b of the switch 1 itself, which may give a user uncomfortable feeling in operation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a bearing structure having a novel configuration capable of improving the mounting of an electronic component having the above-described rotating shaft.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A bearing structure for an electronic component according to the present invention comprises a nut having a predetermined length screwed to a bearing portion of the electronic component for fixing the electronic component having a rotating shaft to a panel. And a bearing portion provided on a part of the inside of the nut portion for bearing the rotating shaft of the electronic component.

[0005]

When mounting an electronic component having a rotating shaft on a panel, a bearing of the present invention having a nut portion and a bearing portion of a predetermined length is prepared. The electronic component is fixed to the panel with a nut. On the other hand, the bearing portion serves as a bearing for the rotating shaft of the electronic component. Therefore, when the bearing having the above configuration is used for mounting an electronic component having a long shaft, the shaft does not run out,
There is no discomfort to the user.

1 is a schematic partial sectional view showing a state in which an electronic component is mounted on a panel using a bearing according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a bearing 5 is a metal molded product, and includes a nut portion 5a and a bearing portion 5b provided integrally with a part of the inside of the nut portion 5a.
a is an electronic component, for example, a bearing 1b of the rotary switch 1.
Screwed into the male screw part. The bearing portion 5b is provided on the shaft 1
It becomes the bearing of a so that the shaft does not swing.

FIG. 2 is a schematic partial sectional view showing a state in which an electronic component is mounted on a panel using the bearing according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a bearing 5 comprises a metal nut 5a and a plastic bearing 5b adhered to the nut 5a with a suitable adhesive. It is screwed into the screw part. The bearing portion 5b also serves as a bearing for the shaft 1a to prevent the shaft from swinging. in this case,
Since the bearing part 5b is made of plastic and soft,
The run-out prevention effect can be enhanced by the elastic bearing. In order to further enhance the effect of preventing shaft runout, the bearing portion 5b
Is further projected from one end of the nut portion 5a.

[0008]

According to the bearing according to the present invention, it is most suitable for mounting an electronic component having a long rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft of the electronic component can be eliminated.
