In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a remote control box 100 that can accommodate a remote control 200 for operating an air conditioner or the like will be described. For example, the remote control box 100 can be installed on a wall or the like with the wall-mounted remote control 200 housed inside. Further, the remote control box 100 removably holds the sheet part 130 in a state where the operation surface of the remote control 200 housed therein is in contact with the sheet part 130 formed of translucent silicone rubber or the like. According to such a configuration, the operator of the remote controller 200 can operate the remote controller 200 via the seat portion 130 that comes into contact with the operation surface of the remote controller 200. In addition, since the seat portion 130 is detachably held, it is possible to easily maintain a clean state by cleaning or replacing the seat portion 130 as necessary.

Note that in the present disclosure, the configuration of remote controller 200 is not particularly limited. For example, the remote control 200 may be a general wall-mounted instruction device for remotely operating an air conditioner such as an air conditioner. For example, the remote control 200 has an operation surface on which an operation panel, buttons, a liquid crystal screen, etc. are formed, and is stored inside the remote control box 100 with the operation surface facing the opening formed in the remote control box 100. be done. Note that the remote control 200 may be a wall-mounted instruction device for operating any device other than an air conditioner.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing a configuration example of the remote control box 100. Referring to FIG. 2, remote control box 100 includes a storage section 110, a lid section 120, and a seat section 130. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a remote control 200 can be stored inside the storage section 110. In addition, the remote control box 100 can be configured such that the seat portion 130 is sandwiched between the lid portion 120 and the storage portion 110 and the lid portion 120 and the storage portion 110 are connected using screws or the like. It can be held detachably.

Note that the storage section 110 and the lid section 120 of the remote control box 100 are made of metal such as stainless steel, for example. Further, the sheet portion 130 is made of resin such as silicone rubber, for example. However, the materials for each component of the remote control box 100, such as forming the storage section 110 and the lid section 120 from resin, are not limited to the above-mentioned examples, and may be arbitrarily determined.

3 to 5 show configuration examples of the storage section 110. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of the configuration of the storage section 110, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the storage section 110. Further, FIG. 5 is a bottom view showing a configuration example of the storage section 110. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the storage section 110 has a box section 111 formed from a rear wall and side walls formed from the upper, lower, left, and right ends of the rear wall toward the front. ing. As an example, the box portion 111 has a rectangular box shape such as a square when viewed from the front, and the front side of the box portion 111 is open. In this way, the box portion 111 has a shape corresponding to the inner box of a cubic-shaped viewing box. Note that the shape of the box portion 111 may be other than a rectangular shape, such as a circular shape when viewed from the front.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, etc., the size of the box portion 111 is larger than the size of the remote control 200 when viewed from the front. As an example, if the dimensions of the remote control 200 are 120 x 120 (mm), the box part 111 has a size of about 180 x 180 (mm). Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the thickness of the box portion 111 is thicker than the thickness of the remote control 200. As an example, if the thickness of the remote control is 20 mm, the thickness of the box portion 111 will be approximately 37 mm to 38 mm.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, at the front end of each side wall of the box portion 111, a flange portion 112, which is a flange-shaped portion, extends outward from the front end of the box portion 111. is formed. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the flange portion 112 is formed toward the outside in front view from the side wall forming the box portion 111 so as to surround the box portion 111 when viewed from the front. As an example, the flange portion 112 can be formed approximately 10 mm outward from the front end of each side wall. As a result, the size of the remote control box 100 when viewed from the front is approximately 200×200 (mm). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, through holes can be provided at arbitrary locations such as the four corners of the flange portion 112 for passing screws or the like when the seat portion 130 is detachably held.

In addition, at arbitrary locations such as the four corners of the rear wall forming the box portion 111, through holes are provided for inserting screws or the like when installing the remote control box 100 on the wall. Furthermore, holding parts 113 and 114 are formed on the rear wall to be used when holding the remote control 200 while the remote control 200 is housed inside the box part 111. For example, the holding parts 113 and 114 may have a U-shape in which a pair of plate-like members horizontal to the back wall are connected in the same direction via a plate-like member perpendicular to the back wall, or a pair of plate-like members parallel to the back wall may be connected in the same direction. Among the plate-like members, the plate-like member on the rear wall side is formed on the outer side of the plate-like member perpendicular to the rear wall, and has a substantially S-shaped shape. Furthermore, a through hole for fixing the remote controller 200 using a screw or the like is provided at an arbitrary location on the front plate member of the pair of plate members that are horizontal to the rear wall that constitute the holding parts 113 and 114. can be provided.

For example, due to the above-described shape, the holding parts 113 and 114 function as spacers that hold the remote control 200 in a state separated from the back wall inside the box part 111. By forming the holding parts 113 and 114, even if the thickness of the box part 111 is thicker than the thickness of the remote control 200, when the remote control 200 is stored inside the box part 111, the operation surface of the remote control 200 can be attached to the seat part. 130. Specifically, for example, the holding parts 113 and 114 have a positionable height, which is the distance between the opening side end of the box part 111 and the opening side of the holding parts 113 and 114, equal to the thickness of the remote control 200. Alternatively, the height that can be placed is slightly lower than the thickness of the remote controller 200 (see FIG. 6). That is, the holding parts 113 and 114 are adjusted so that the height at which they can be placed is a value that corresponds to the thickness of the remote controller 200. As an example, if the thickness of the remote controller 200 is 20 mm, it is desirable that the height at which it can be placed is approximately 19 mm to 20 mm. In this way, by setting the height at which the remote controller 200 can be placed to be approximately the same as the thickness of the remote controller 200, the operation surface of the remote controller 200 can be brought into contact with the seat portion 130 when the remote controller 200 is stored inside the box portion 111. . That is, according to the above configuration, the remote controller 200 is moved inside the box part 111 so that the operation surface of the remote controller 200 comes into contact with the seat part 130 while ensuring a space for easily passing the wiring cable etc. inside the box part 111. It can be stored inside.

Note that the holding parts 113 and 114 may have shapes other than those illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5 as long as they can function as spacers. Moreover, the holding parts 113 and 114 may be fixed to the box part 111 using any means, such as welding to the box part 111. The holding parts 113 and 114 may be detachably held in the box part 111 using screws or the like.

Further, a through hole 115 that penetrates the back wall in the thickness direction can be formed in the center portion of the back wall. A wiring cable or the like connected to the remote control 200 can be passed through the through hole 115. Note that the formation position and size of the through hole 115 are not limited to those illustrated in FIG.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5, a through hole 116 that penetrates the side wall in the thickness direction can be formed in the center portion of the side wall formed on the lower side. Similar to the through hole 115, a wiring cable connected to the remote control 200 can be passed through the through hole 116. Note that the formation position and size of the through hole 116 are not limited to those illustrated in FIG.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable not to form through holes in the side walls formed on the left and right sides of the side walls and the side walls formed on the upper side. By forming the through hole in the lower side wall or back side rather than the side or upper side, it is possible to reduce the possibility that water or the like will enter the inside of the box portion 111 through the through hole. However, depending on the environment of the installation location where the remote control box 100 is installed, the through holes may be formed in the left and right side walls or the upper side wall.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lid portion 120 is formed of a plate-like member 121 that is a plate-like member. For example, the plate member 121 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front. Further, the plate member 121 has the same size as the storage section 110 when viewed from the front. For example, the size of the plate member 121 when viewed from the front may be approximately 200×200 (mm).

Furthermore, a through hole 122 is formed in the central portion of the plate-like member 121, passing through the plate-like member 121 in the thickness direction. In other words, the center of the plate member 121 is open. For example, the size of the through hole 122 is approximately the same as the size of the operation surface of the remote control 200 when viewed from the front. As an example, if the dimensions of the remote controller 200 are 120 x 120 (mm), the size of the through hole 122 is approximately 130 x 130 (mm). In this way, the size of the through hole 122 when viewed from the front corresponds to the size of the remote controller 200. Here, as described above, the size of the box portion 111 when viewed from the front is approximately 180×180 (mm). Therefore, the size of the opening formed in the lid part 120 is smaller than the size of the opening formed in the storage part 110.

In this way, by making the size of the through hole 122 correspond to the size of the remote control 200, the sheet portion 130 can be more firmly held in a stretched state. As a result, the possibility that the seat portion 130 will shift when operating the remote control 200 can be reduced. Moreover, by making the size of the opening formed in the lid part 120 smaller than the size of the opening formed in the storage part 110, the lid part 120 can also function as a blindfold. Thereby, for example, when wiring a wiring cable or the like inside the box part 111 along the remote control 200 stored inside, the wiring cable or the like can be hidden by the lid part 120.

Note that the size of the through hole 122 is not limited to the above example. For example, the size of the through hole 122 may be approximately 180×180 (mm), which corresponds to the opening formed in the box portion 111.

As shown in FIG. 8, the sheet portion 130 is a sheet-like member having a rectangular shape when viewed from the front. For example, the sheet portion 130 is made of translucent resin such as silicone rubber. The size of the sheet portion 130 when viewed from the front may be approximately the same size as the storage portion 110 and the plate member 121, such as approximately 200×200 (mm). Further, as shown in FIG. 8, through holes are provided at arbitrary locations such as the four corners of the seat section 130 for passing screws etc. when the seat section 130 is detachably held in the storage section 110 or the like. be able to.

The remote control box 100 includes a storage section 110, a lid section 120, and a seat section 130 as illustrated above. As shown in FIG. 9, with the remote controller 200 stored inside the storage section 110, the seat section 130 is sandwiched between the lid section 120 and the storage section 110 to connect the lid section 120 and the storage section 110. As a result, the remote control box 100 can detachably hold the seat portion 130 that comes into contact with the operation surface of the remote control 200.

In this way, the remote control box 100 includes a storage section 110, a lid section 120, and a seat section 130. According to such a configuration, the remote control box 100 connects the lid part 120 and the storage part 110 by sandwiching the seat part 130 between the lid part 120 and the storage part 110, so that the operation surface of the remote control 200 can be connected to the remote control box 100. The abutting seat portion 130 can be detachably held. As a result, a clean state can be easily maintained by cleaning or replacing the seat portion 130 as needed.

Note that in this disclosure, dimensions of various configurations are illustrated. However, the dimensions of each component constituting remote control box 100 are not limited to those illustrated in the present disclosure. For example, the size of the box portion 111 may be smaller than the case illustrated in the present disclosure, such as depending on the size of the remote control 200 housed inside. Further, in the present disclosure, a case where the storage section 110 includes the holding sections 113 and 114 has been exemplified. However, the storage section 110 does not need to have the holding sections 113 and 114. In this case, the remote control 200 may be fixed to the back wall forming the box portion 111 using screws or the like.
