The battery is held by being sandwiched by a pair of battery locking claws provided by extending the second case in the vertical direction with respect to the first case using a round battery.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, it is common to use a 006P battery instead of a round battery for an automatic notification device. The 006P battery has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and any of its vertical, horizontal, and height can be used. The dimensions are also standardized with a tolerance of ± 1 mm.
[0007]
That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the 006P battery B is configured to have a rectangular shape with a rounded shape as a whole, and according to the standard, the long side dimension a is 46.5 to 48.5 mm, and the short side The dimension b is 24.5 to 26.5 mm and the height dimension c is 17.5 to 15.5 mm, and is configured to be electrically connectable to the automatic notification device on the housing side via the battery connector 4e. ing.
[0008]
Therefore, when the 006P battery is accommodated in the casing of the automatic notification device, the accommodating portion needs to be formed so as to conform to the maximum tolerance in the standard.
[0009]
As a result, in the case of 006P battery fabricated smaller than the maximum tolerance would be accommodated in a backlash condition in the housing portion of the housing.
[0010]
Therefore, conventionally, Oite the housing of the automatic reporting device is provided with a concave of 006P battery housing base accommodating the automatic reporting equipment, received in the receiving the recess 006P battery B to cover the housing base In order to hold it with the cover body, an elastic body such as a sponge or rubber is attached to the back side of the cover body, and the 006P battery is pressed against the housing base side by the pressing force of the elastic body. It was.
[0011]
In such a conventional configuration, in order to hold down the 006P battery, it is necessary to stick a separate cushioning material to the cover body. For this reason, a separate cushioning material is required and this cushioning material is stuck. In order to do so, an adhesive is required, and the number of mounting steps for the cushioning material is also required, leading to an increase in cost.
[0012]
In addition, the elastic body is usually made of a material different from that of the cover body and the housing base, and is attached to the cover body with an adhesive, so it can be separated and collected when the product is disposed of. It was difficult.
[0013]
In view of this point, the present invention has an object to provide a casing of an automatic notification device that can absorb and firmly fix a product tolerance of 006P without using a cushioning material made of a different material for the cover body.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the case of the automatic notification device according to the present invention includes a case in which an automatic notification device is housed, and a case base on which the automatic notification device is disposed and a case base mounted from above. It is composed of a cover body that covers the automatic reporting device, and a rectangular battery storage recess for storing the 006P battery is formed in the housing base so that it can be electrically connected to the automatic notification device in the battery storage recess accommodated 006P battery, and was configured with a hold down the hold-down lever 006P battery from the opening side of the battery housing recess, said hold-down lever, the opposite ends of the strip plate-like base and the base portion having a spring property Each of the pair of legs bent in the same direction, and one of the pair of legs, at the tip of one leg, is one of the long side walls facing each other of the electronic storage recess. Engage with hinge receiving part And a claw portion that engages with a locking portion formed on the other side wall of the opposite sides of the electronic storage recess, at the tip of the other leg portion. It is characterized in that the 006P battery is pressed into the bottom side of the battery housing recess by bridging the middle part of the opening on both long side walls facing each other of the housing recess .

In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the locking portion is formed by a through hole and the claw portion is formed so as to protrude outwardly from the other leg portion. Even so, this pressing force acts in the direction of engagement with the through hole of the claw portion, and as a result, the pressing lever is inadvertently detached from the housing and prevents the 006P battery from popping out from the housing recess. it can.
[0020]
Further, in the present invention, since the locking portion is formed by a through-hole and the claw portion is formed so as to protrude inwardly on the other leg portion, the pressing lever is reversely provided to the present invention. If pressed from above, the claw portion can be easily removed from the through hole by this pressing force.
[0021]
Further, the present invention uses the lever piece portion because the lever piece portion is formed on the other leg portion of the presser lever so as to project outward and release the engagement between the locking portion and the claw portion. Thus, the claw portion can be easily detached from the through hole.
[0022]
