Description

本発明は、車両用コンソールパネルの構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a structure of a console panel for a vehicle.

電子機器には、他の電子機器との信号送受を行う信号線を接続するために信号線の端子(オス側端子)が差し込まれるコネクタ装置が組み込まれている。このようなコネクタ装置には信号線の端子が差し込まれる端子穴(メス側端子)が形成されている。この端子穴に差し込まれたオス側端子は、当該端子穴を介してコネクタ装置の内部に設けられた信号処理基板と電気的に接続され、各種信号の入出力が可能となる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   The electronic device incorporates a connector device into which a signal line terminal (male side terminal) is inserted in order to connect a signal line for signal transmission / reception with another electronic device. In such a connector device, a terminal hole (female side terminal) into which a terminal of a signal line is inserted is formed. The male terminal inserted into the terminal hole is electrically connected to a signal processing board provided inside the connector device through the terminal hole, and various signals can be input and output (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

この端子穴は、オス側端子が差し込まれている場合には問題ないが、オス側端子が差し込まれていないときには、端子穴が外部に完全に露出することになる。この場合、外部に露出した端子穴の内部に粉塵等が侵入してしまい、電気的接続の不良や、コネクタ装置そのものの故障などを招く恐れがある。   This terminal hole has no problem when the male terminal is inserted, but when the male terminal is not inserted, the terminal hole is completely exposed to the outside. In this case, dust or the like may enter the inside of the terminal hole exposed to the outside, which may lead to poor electrical connection or failure of the connector device itself.

そこで、端子の接続を行わない場合にこの端子穴を覆う蓋が提案されている。例えば、特許文献2にはテレビ受像機のフロントパネルに設けられたピンジャックを覆う蓋が記載されている。フロントパネルのピンジャックの取付けられる部分は段差加工され、蓋は段差部を覆う平板部と平板部からL字形に成形された取付部とを備え、この取付部をフロントパネルに固定するよう構成されている。取付部から平板部につながる角部は弾性ヒンジを構成し、平板の蓋がフロントパネルに対して回転自在となるようになっている。   Therefore, a lid that covers the terminal hole when the terminal is not connected has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 2 describes a lid that covers a pin jack provided on a front panel of a television receiver. The portion of the front panel to which the pin jack is attached is processed with a step, and the lid includes a flat plate portion covering the step portion and an attachment portion formed in an L shape from the flat plate portion, and is configured to fix the attachment portion to the front panel. ing. The corner portion that connects the mounting portion to the flat plate portion constitutes an elastic hinge, and the flat plate lid is rotatable with respect to the front panel.

そして特許文献2には、蓋の取付け部には爪を持つ突出部が形成され、この爪をフロントパネルのスリット裏側の開口周縁に当接させて蓋の取付部が抜けないように取付ける方法と、フロントパネルに突起を設け、この突起を蓋に開けられた挿通穴に挿通させた後、突起の先端部を溶かして蓋の取付け部をフロントパネルに取付ける方法が記載されている。しかし、爪による取付け方法は蓋が抜けやすく、突起を溶かして取り付ける方法は外観が悪くなるという問題がある。   Patent Document 2 discloses a method in which a protrusion having a claw is formed on the attachment portion of the lid, and the claw is brought into contact with the opening periphery on the back side of the slit of the front panel so that the attachment portion of the lid does not come off. A method is described in which a projection is provided on the front panel, the projection is inserted through an insertion hole formed in the lid, and then the tip of the projection is melted to attach the lid mounting portion to the front panel. However, the attachment method using the claws has a problem that the lid is easily removed, and the attachment method by melting the protrusions deteriorates the appearance.

そこで、特許文献2には、蓋の長手方向の一側縁に溝型断面を持つ蓋固定部を設け、金属製の固定板の一端側をこの溝に嵌まり込ませるようにビス止めして蓋を固定する構造が提案されている。この蓋は長手方向の一側縁に厚みを薄くすることによって形成した弾性ヒンジ部を介してフロントパネルに固定されるようになるので、フロントパネルに対して回転自在に取付けられることとなる。そして、蓋がフロントパネルのピンジャックを覆うように閉じられる際には、蓋に設けられたロック爪がフロントパネルに設けられたロック爪係止穴に嵌まり込んで弾性ヒンジ部の変形抵抗による蓋の開方向への反発力に打ち勝って蓋が閉止状態を保つように構成されている。   Therefore, in Patent Document 2, a lid fixing portion having a groove-shaped cross section is provided at one side edge in the longitudinal direction of the lid, and a screw is fixed so that one end of a metal fixing plate is fitted into the groove. A structure for fixing the lid has been proposed. Since the lid is fixed to the front panel via an elastic hinge formed by reducing the thickness on one side edge in the longitudinal direction, the lid is rotatably attached to the front panel. When the lid is closed so as to cover the pin jack of the front panel, the lock claw provided on the lid fits into the lock claw engagement hole provided on the front panel, and the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge portion The lid is configured to keep the closed state by overcoming the repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid.

一方、近年の電子機器の発達によって、オーディオケーブルのように端子穴に嵌まり込むピンによって同軸ケーブルの芯線の接続を行い、端子外側に設けられた電気接続部によってシールド線の接続を行うような端子が用いられるようになってきている。このような端子穴と外面とを同時に電気的に接続する端子では、外面の接続を行うために端子外周にオス側プラグの入り込むスペースが必要となってくる。このため、パネルに設けられる接続端子用の穴は従来のピンジャックに対応するものよりも大きくする必要がある。更に、ステレオの信号線を接続しようとすると2本の接続端子が必要となり、ビデオ信号を接続しようとする場合には更に多くの端子が必要となってくる。   On the other hand, with the recent development of electronic equipment, the core wire of the coaxial cable is connected by a pin that fits into the terminal hole like an audio cable, and the shield wire is connected by the electrical connection portion provided outside the terminal. Terminals are being used. In such a terminal that electrically connects the terminal hole and the outer surface at the same time, in order to connect the outer surface, a space into which the male side plug enters the outer periphery of the terminal is required. For this reason, it is necessary to make the hole for the connection terminal provided in the panel larger than that corresponding to the conventional pin jack. Furthermore, two connection terminals are required to connect a stereo signal line, and more terminals are required to connect a video signal.

このように複数の端子が必要になる場合に、複数の端子を連続して配置して配置スペースを減少させる多連端子が用いられることが多い。しかし、多連端子を用いた場合には、端子間隔が狭くなるので、パネルに設けられる接続端子用の穴は複数の穴を配置したものではなく、複数の端子がまとめて配置されるスペースを持つプラグ収納室とすることが必要となってくる。このプラグ収納室は内部に配置された各メス側端子に各オス側端子を接続することのできるスペースが必要となることから大きな開口と奥行きを持つものとなる。そして、各端子穴への異物の侵入や各端子の外面の電気接続面の保護のために、パネルに設けられた開口全体を覆う大きな蓋を設けることが必要となってくる。   When a plurality of terminals are required as described above, a multiple terminal is often used in which a plurality of terminals are continuously arranged to reduce an arrangement space. However, when multiple terminals are used, the terminal interval is narrowed, so the holes for connecting terminals provided on the panel are not arranged with a plurality of holes, but a space where a plurality of terminals are arranged collectively. It will be necessary to have a plug storage room. This plug storage chamber has a large opening and depth because it requires a space in which each male terminal can be connected to each female terminal arranged inside. And in order to infiltrate foreign matter into each terminal hole and protect the electrical connection surface of the outer surface of each terminal, it is necessary to provide a large lid that covers the entire opening provided in the panel.

しかし、特許文献2に記載された単に爪を係合させる取付け方法では蓋が大きくなることによってより抜けやすくなるという問題があり、突起を溶かして固定する方法では外観が悪くなるという問題があるし、金属板によって溝を固定する方法では部品点数が多くなり蓋の取付がやりにくいという問題がある。この点は、車両用コンソールパネルにプラグ収納室を設ける場合にも大きな問題となる。   However, there is a problem that the attachment method described in Patent Document 2 that simply engages the claw has a problem that it becomes easier to come off when the lid is enlarged, and the method that melts and fixes the protrusion has a problem that the appearance is deteriorated. In the method of fixing the groove with a metal plate, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the lid is difficult to attach. This point also becomes a serious problem when a plug storage chamber is provided in the vehicle console panel.

一方、特許文献2に記載された蓋の構造では、蓋の大型化によって蓋の一端面全部に渡って設けられている弾性ヒンジ部の変形抵抗が大きくなり、蓋の開方向への反発力が大きくなることから蓋を閉状態に保持するために必要な力が大きくなり、大きなロック爪あるいは複数のロック爪を設けることが必要となる。このため、蓋の大型化に合わせて弾性ヒンジ部の長さを長くしなければ変形抵抗の増加を抑えられ、蓋の開方向への反発力の増加も抑制することができるが、ヒンジ部が蓋の一端面全部に渡って設けられないことから、蓋が開状態になった際に蓋がグラついて端子の差込の際に邪魔になり、端子挿入の操作性が低下するという問題がある。つまり、蓋の開方向への反発力を抑制すると蓋の開状態におけるグラつきが発生するという問題がある。   On the other hand, in the lid structure described in Patent Document 2, the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge portion provided over the entire end surface of the lid increases due to the increase in size of the lid, and the repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid increases. Since it becomes large, the force required to hold the lid in the closed state becomes large, and it is necessary to provide a large lock claw or a plurality of lock claws. For this reason, if the length of the elastic hinge portion is not increased in accordance with the increase in the size of the lid, an increase in deformation resistance can be suppressed and an increase in the repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid can be suppressed. Since it is not provided over the entire end surface of the lid, there is a problem that when the lid is in the open state, the lid is glazed and becomes obstructive when inserting the terminal, and the operability of terminal insertion is reduced. . That is, if the repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid is suppressed, there is a problem that glare occurs in the opened state of the lid.

そこで、本発明は、車両用コンソールパネルのプラグ収納室の蓋を簡便に取付けられ、外れにくい構造を提案することを目的とする。また、本発明の他の目的は、蓋の開方向への反発力の増加を抑制しつつ蓋の開状態におけるグラつきを抑制することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose a structure in which a lid of a plug storage chamber of a vehicle console panel can be easily attached and is not easily detached. Another object of the present invention is to suppress glare in the open state of the lid while suppressing an increase in repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid.

本発明の車両用コンソールパネルは、基体部と、基体部の車室内側に設けられた化粧面と、化粧面に設けられた略四角形の開口と、開口の周縁の各辺から基体部の中に向かって延びる上下左右の4枚の板と、各板の端部と接続する底板とを含む四角い凹部で、その凹部の中に多連プラグ端子の端子筒を収納するプラグ収納室と、開口を閉じる開閉自在の蓋と、多連プラグ端子が固定され、プラグ収納室の外側に被せられるケースと、を備える車両用コンソールパネルであって、プラグ収納室は、底板の下板との接続部分に設けられるスロットと、スロットの下板側の周縁から基体部の中に向かって延びる板状で先端が山形の係合リブと、を含み、蓋は、蓋のプラグ収納室側面に形成され、プラグ収納室に設けられたスロットに差し込まれて蓋をプラグ収納室に取り付けると共に、蓋の開閉の際に蓋との接続部近傍が弾性変形することにより多連プラグ端子の配列方向に沿った軸の周りに蓋を回動させる弾性体で板状の取付アームを含みプラグ収納室の下板の上面に、一方の各フランジが取付アームの幅だけ離れて取付アームの差し込み方向に平行で、他方の各フランジが取付アームの厚さだけ下板から離れるように配置され、取付アームの幅方向及び厚さ方向の位置を制限する略L字断面の2つの保持ツメを有し、取付アームは、スロットに差し込まれ、板面が係合リブの上面に沿うように取付けられた際に、係合リブの先端に係合するV字形の返りツメが先端に形成されており、ケースは、プラグ収納室の外側に被せられた際に、係合リブの上面に取り付けられている取付アームを挟んで対向する位置に配置されるリブを有すること、を特徴とする。 The vehicle console panel of the present invention includes a base portion, a decorative surface provided on the vehicle interior side of the base portion, a substantially rectangular opening provided in the decorative surface, and a side of the periphery of the opening. A rectangular recess including four plates (upper, lower, left and right) extending toward the bottom and a bottom plate connected to the end of each plate, and a plug storage chamber for storing a terminal tube of a multiple plug terminal in the recess; and an opening A console panel for a vehicle comprising: a lid that can be freely opened and closed; and a case in which a multiple plug terminal is fixed and is placed outside the plug storage chamber, wherein the plug storage chamber is connected to a lower plate of the bottom plate A slot formed on the side of the lower plate side of the slot and an engagement rib having a chevron at the tip, extending from the peripheral edge of the lower plate side into the base portion, and the lid is formed on the side of the plug storage chamber of the lid, The lid is inserted into the slot provided in the plug storage chamber Is attached to the plug housing chamber, the lid during the opening and closing of the lid connection part near an elastic body plate-shaped rotating the lid around an axis along the direction of arrangement of the multiple-plug terminal by elastic deformation Including the mounting arm, on the upper surface of the lower plate of the plug storage chamber, one flange is separated by the width of the mounting arm and parallel to the insertion direction of the mounting arm, and the other flange is from the lower plate by the thickness of the mounting arm. Two holding claws having a substantially L-shaped cross section that are arranged so as to be separated from each other and restrict the positions in the width direction and the thickness direction of the mounting arm, the mounting arm is inserted into the slot, and the plate surface is the upper surface of the engaging rib. A V-shaped return claw that engages with the front end of the engagement rib is formed at the front end, and when the case is put on the outside of the plug storage chamber, The mounting arm attached to the top surface of Across to have a rib which is disposed in a position opposite to, and wherein.

また、本発明の車両用コンソールパネルにおいて、蓋は、蓋のプラグ収納室側面に形成され、蓋が閉められた際に端子筒に押し広げられて端子筒外面に対して締め付け力を発生させる弾性体の外周リブと、蓋が閉められた際に端子筒の端子穴に圧縮されて差し込まれ端子穴内面に対して反発力を発生させる弾性体のピンとを有すること、としても好適である。 Further, in the vehicle console panel of the present invention, the lid is formed on a side surface of the plug storage chamber of the lid, and is elastically generated to generate a tightening force against the outer surface of the terminal cylinder by being spread over the terminal cylinder when the lid is closed. It is also preferable to have an outer peripheral rib of the body and an elastic pin that is compressed and inserted into the terminal hole of the terminal cylinder when the lid is closed and generates a repulsive force against the inner surface of the terminal hole.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that it is possible to suppress glare in the open state of the lid while suppressing an increase in the repulsive force in the opening direction of the lid.

以下、本発明の好適な実施形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。図1は本発明の実施形態である車両用のコンソールパネル10の意匠面11を示す平面図である。意匠面11は車室側に向いた面で、各種のスイッチのコントロールボタンや端子あるいはスイッチなどの位置を示すインジケータなどが配置されている。本実施形態のコンソールパネル10はその中央に3連プラグ端子であるVTR用の端子が配置され、その端子をカバーする蓋12が取付けられている。蓋12は意匠面11と面一になるように配置されている蓋板13と蓋12を開ける際に指を掛けるつまみ14とを備えている。また、意匠面11の両側にはオーディオ信号用の単端子をカバーする蓋15と、音量を調整するボリューム17とが設けられている。   Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a design surface 11 of a vehicle console panel 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The design surface 11 is a surface facing the vehicle compartment side, on which control buttons and terminals of various switches, indicators indicating the positions of the switches, and the like are arranged. The console panel 10 of the present embodiment has a VTR terminal, which is a triple plug terminal, disposed at the center thereof, and a lid 12 that covers the terminal is attached. The lid 12 includes a lid plate 13 disposed so as to be flush with the design surface 11 and a knob 14 for hooking a finger when the lid 12 is opened. Further, on both sides of the design surface 11, a cover 15 for covering a single terminal for audio signals and a volume 17 for adjusting the volume are provided.

図2に示すように、コンソールパネル10は意匠面11を有する基体部である本体21と上カバー23と下カバー25とVTR用の3連プラグ端子27と蓋12とが組み合わされて構成されている。VTR用の3連プラグ端子27は上カバー側に回路基板が取り付けられ、意匠面11に向かって外面が電気的に接続される端子筒28が突出するように取付けられている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the console panel 10 is configured by combining a main body 21, which is a base portion having a design surface 11, an upper cover 23, a lower cover 25, a VTR triple plug terminal 27, and a lid 12. Yes. A triple plug terminal 27 for VTR has a circuit board attached to the upper cover side, and is attached so that a terminal tube 28 whose outer surface is electrically connected toward the design surface 11 protrudes.

図2に示すように、蓋12は蓋板13と蓋板13のプラグ収納室19側に形成された3つの円環状の外周リブ41と、外周リブ41の中心にプラグ収納室19の方向に向かって形成された3つの円筒状のピン42と、を備えている。また、蓋板13の下端側には、板状の取付アーム45がプラグ収納室19に向かって形成されている。取付アーム45は、先端にV字形に形成された返りツメ46を備えている。また、図3に示すように、取付アーム45は返りツメ46の根本部分から更に長手方向に伸びた突部47を備えている。蓋板13と蓋板13に形成された外周リブ41、ピン42、取付アーム45及び取付アーム45の先端の設けられた返りツメ46、突部47は、例えばエラストマーなどの弾性材料によって一体成形によって構成されていてもよい。一体成形によって構成する場合には、蓋板13に形成された外周リブ41、ピン42、取付アーム45などは一番厚い蓋板13の厚さの60%以下の肉厚となるようにして一体成形の際の蓋板13の意匠面11側の変形を防止するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 12 includes a lid plate 13, three annular outer peripheral ribs 41 formed on the plug storage chamber 19 side of the lid plate 13, and the center of the outer peripheral rib 41 toward the plug storage chamber 19. And three cylindrical pins 42 formed toward the surface. A plate-like attachment arm 45 is formed on the lower end side of the cover plate 13 toward the plug storage chamber 19. The mounting arm 45 includes a return claw 46 formed in a V shape at the tip. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the mounting arm 45 includes a protrusion 47 extending further in the longitudinal direction from the root portion of the return claw 46. The cover plate 13 and the outer peripheral rib 41 formed on the cover plate 13, the pin 42, the mounting arm 45, the return claw 46 provided at the tip of the mounting arm 45, and the protrusion 47 are integrally formed by an elastic material such as an elastomer, for example. It may be configured. When configured by integral molding, the outer peripheral rib 41, the pin 42, the mounting arm 45, etc. formed on the cover plate 13 are integrated so that the thickness is 60% or less of the thickness of the thickest cover plate 13. It is comprised so that the deformation | transformation by the side of the design surface 11 of the cover plate 13 in the case of shaping | molding may be prevented.

図3を参照しながら蓋12の構成について詳細に説明する。図3に示すように、蓋12の蓋板13のプラグ収納室19の側に形成された各外周リブ41は図2に示す各端子筒28の外面に嵌まり込むように円環状で、端子筒28への着脱が容易になるように下部にスリットが設けられている。また、各外周リブ41の中心には端子筒28の中心に設けられた図4に示す端子穴29に差し込まれるピン42が設けられている。ピン42の蓋板13との接続部分にはピン42の固定度を増加させるためのリブ44が設けられている。ピン42は中心に穴の開いた筒状で、その外表面には長手方向に沿って突起43が設けられている。この突起43はピンが端子穴29に嵌まり込んだ際に端子穴の内面に当接する。突起34はピン42の長手方向に連続して設けられていてもよいし部分的に設けられていてもよい。   The configuration of the lid 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, each outer peripheral rib 41 formed on the side of the plug housing chamber 19 of the cover plate 13 of the cover 12 has an annular shape so as to fit into the outer surface of each terminal tube 28 shown in FIG. A slit is provided in the lower part so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the cylinder 28. Further, a pin 42 to be inserted into the terminal hole 29 shown in FIG. 4 provided at the center of the terminal cylinder 28 is provided at the center of each outer peripheral rib 41. A rib 44 for increasing the degree of fixation of the pin 42 is provided at a portion where the pin 42 is connected to the cover plate 13. The pin 42 has a cylindrical shape with a hole in the center, and a projection 43 is provided on the outer surface along the longitudinal direction. The protrusion 43 comes into contact with the inner surface of the terminal hole when the pin is fitted into the terminal hole 29. The protrusion 34 may be provided continuously in the longitudinal direction of the pin 42 or may be provided partially.

図3に示すように、プラグ収納室19の取付アーム45が取付けられている内面には、略L字形の保持ツメ35が形成されている。保持ツメ35は取付アーム45の各側端面の位置を制限し、取付アーム45の幅方向の移動を制限すると共に板状の取付アーム45の板面の位置を制限している。このため、取付アーム45は2つの保持ツメ35とプラグ収納室19の内面との間に挟まれて厚さ方向の移動が制限されるので、取付アーム45は蓋板13との接合部近傍において取付アーム45の板厚方向に曲がり変形する弾性ヒンジを形成する。この弾性ヒンジの弾性変形によって蓋板13は取付アーム45との接合部近傍を回転軸として回転自在となる。この回転軸は図2に示す3連プラグ端子27の配列方向に沿った軸となる。また、取付アーム45は2つの保持ツメ35とプラグ収納室19の内面との間に挟まれているため、その長手方向軸の周りの回転を抑制するよう構成されている。このため、蓋12が開いた状態であっても蓋板13がグラついて端子の接続の操作性を低下させることを防止することができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, a substantially L-shaped holding claw 35 is formed on the inner surface of the plug storage chamber 19 where the mounting arm 45 is mounted. The holding claw 35 restricts the position of each side end face of the attachment arm 45, restricts the movement of the attachment arm 45 in the width direction, and restricts the position of the plate surface of the plate-like attachment arm 45. For this reason, the mounting arm 45 is sandwiched between the two holding claws 35 and the inner surface of the plug storage chamber 19 so that the movement in the thickness direction is restricted. Therefore, the mounting arm 45 is located in the vicinity of the joint portion with the lid plate 13. An elastic hinge that bends and deforms in the thickness direction of the mounting arm 45 is formed. Due to the elastic deformation of the elastic hinge, the cover plate 13 is rotatable about the vicinity of the joint with the mounting arm 45 as a rotation axis. The rotation axis is an axis along the arrangement direction of the triple plug terminals 27 shown in FIG. Further, since the mounting arm 45 is sandwiched between the two holding claws 35 and the inner surface of the plug storage chamber 19, the mounting arm 45 is configured to suppress rotation around its longitudinal axis. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the operability of terminal connection from being lowered due to the cover plate 13 being glazed even when the cover 12 is open.

また、図3に示すように、組み付け状態では、蓋板13は図2に示す意匠面11から若干飛び出した状態となっている。これは、蓋板13を開状態とした場合にオス側の端子の差込性を考慮しているためである。一方、蓋板13と取付アーム45の接続部近傍に構成されるヒンジは弾性ヒンジであることから、この組み付け状態から蓋12を閉める場合には弾性ヒンジの変形抵抗によって発生する開方向への反発力に対抗する力が必要となる。このため、蓋12は閉状態に保持する力が無ければ開いた状態となる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the assembled state, the cover plate 13 protrudes slightly from the design surface 11 shown in FIG. This is because the insertion of the male terminal is taken into account when the cover plate 13 is in the open state. On the other hand, the hinge constructed in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the cover plate 13 and the mounting arm 45 is an elastic hinge. Therefore, when the cover 12 is closed from this assembled state, the repulsion in the opening direction caused by the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge. A force that opposes the force is required. For this reason, the lid 12 is in an open state if there is no force to hold it in the closed state.

図4、図5はコンソールパネルの組立手順を示す。図4に示すように、本体21の開口22を含むプラグ収納室19の下側の内面に設けられた保持ツメ35と内面との間に蓋12の取付アーム45を挿入していく。すると、取付アーム45の先端に設けられた返りツメ46は保持ツメ35とプラグ収納室19の内壁との間でV字型が閉じるように圧縮される。そして、その状態で蓋12を更に本体21に押込むと、図5(a)に示すように、取付アーム45と返りツメ46とはプラグ収納室19の開口22と反対側の面に設けられたスロット31に差し込まれる。スロット31の中では、保持ツメ35とプラグ収納室19内面との間と同様に、返りツメ46がスロット31の内側に向けて圧縮される。そして、蓋12が更に本体21に押込まれると、返りツメ46はスロット31を通り抜け、スロット31の裏側に達する。図5(a)の1点鎖線で示すように、返りツメ46がスロット31の裏側に達すると、返りツメ46の圧縮が開放され、返りツメ46はV字形状に戻るとともに返りツメ46の弾性力で係合リブ33の面から離れる方向に反り返る。そして、取付アーム45が更に差し込まれ、返りツメ46の先端が係合リブ33の範囲を超えると、取付アーム45は弾性によって係合リブ33に沿った位置に戻ると同時に返りツメ46が係合リブ33の先端の山部と係合する。係合リブ33の先端は返りツメ46のV字形形状に対応した山形となっており、返りツメ46が係合すると取付アーム45は簡単に抜けなくなるように構成されている。   4 and 5 show the procedure for assembling the console panel. As shown in FIG. 4, the attachment arm 45 of the lid 12 is inserted between the holding claw 35 provided on the lower inner surface including the opening 22 of the main body 21 and the inner surface. Then, the return claw 46 provided at the tip of the mounting arm 45 is compressed between the holding claw 35 and the inner wall of the plug storage chamber 19 so that the V shape is closed. When the lid 12 is further pushed into the main body 21 in this state, the mounting arm 45 and the return claw 46 are provided on the surface opposite to the opening 22 of the plug storage chamber 19 as shown in FIG. Inserted into the slot 31. In the slot 31, the return claw 46 is compressed toward the inside of the slot 31 in the same manner as between the holding claw 35 and the inner surface of the plug storage chamber 19. When the lid 12 is further pushed into the main body 21, the return claw 46 passes through the slot 31 and reaches the back side of the slot 31. As indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 5A, when the return claw 46 reaches the back side of the slot 31, the compression of the return claw 46 is released, and the return claw 46 returns to the V shape and the elasticity of the return claw 46. It warps in a direction away from the surface of the engagement rib 33 by force. When the attachment arm 45 is further inserted and the tip of the return claw 46 exceeds the range of the engagement rib 33, the attachment arm 45 returns to a position along the engagement rib 33 due to elasticity, and at the same time the return claw 46 is engaged. Engage with the crest at the tip of the rib 33. The front end of the engagement rib 33 has a mountain shape corresponding to the V-shaped shape of the return claw 46, and the attachment arm 45 is configured not to easily come off when the return claw 46 is engaged.

このように、本体21に蓋12の取付アーム45を取り付けた状態でも、取付アーム45は厚さ方向の位置を保持ツメ35によって制限されているため、返りツメ46が係合リブ33から外れにくくなっている。また、蓋12を大きな力で引っ張った場合、力によって返りツメ46のV字型の開き角度が大きくなろうとすることを突部47の剛性によって抑えることができるため、大きな引張力がかかった場合でも蓋12は簡単に抜けない。このような構造を有しているため、本体21に蓋12を取り付けた状態で、上カバー23、下カバー25を取り付けていない状態であっても、蓋が抜けにくい構造とすることができ、コンソールパネル組み立ての際に一旦取り付けた蓋12が外れて組み立て不良が発生することを抑制することができる。   As described above, even when the attachment arm 45 of the lid 12 is attached to the main body 21, the position of the attachment arm 45 is limited by the holding claw 35, so that the return claw 46 is difficult to come off from the engagement rib 33. It has become. In addition, when the lid 12 is pulled with a large force, it is possible to suppress the V-shaped opening angle of the return claw 46 from being increased by the force due to the rigidity of the projection 47, and therefore when a large tensile force is applied. However, the lid 12 cannot be easily removed. Since it has such a structure, even when the cover 12 is attached to the main body 21 and the upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25 are not attached, the cover can be made difficult to come off. When the console panel is assembled, it is possible to prevent the lid 12 once attached from coming off and causing an assembly failure.

図4に示すように、VTR用の3連プラグ端子27は上カバー23と下カバー25とを組み合わせる際に挟み込まれて上カバー23と下カバー25との間に固定される。そして、3連プラグ端子27を固定した上カバー23と下カバー25とは一体となって本体21の意匠面11と反対側から組みつけられる。上カバー23と下カバー25とが本体21に組みつけられるとVTR用の3連プラグ端子27の端子筒28は本体21の意匠面11から凹んで設けられた箱型のプラグ収納室19の意匠面11と反対側の面に設けられた穴30からプラグ収納室19の中に突出し、意匠面11の蓋12が開けられるとオス側の端子を端子筒28の外面及び中心の端子穴29に接続することができるように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 4, the VTR triple plug terminal 27 is sandwiched when the upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25 are combined, and is fixed between the upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25. The upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25 to which the triple plug terminal 27 is fixed are integrally assembled from the side opposite to the design surface 11 of the main body 21. When the upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25 are assembled to the main body 21, the terminal tube 28 of the triple plug terminal 27 for the VTR is designed so as to be recessed from the design surface 11 of the main body 21. When the lid 12 of the design surface 11 is opened through the hole 30 provided on the surface opposite to the surface 11 and the design surface 11 is opened, the male terminal is connected to the outer surface of the terminal tube 28 and the central terminal hole 29. It is configured so that it can be connected.

図5(b)に示すように、下カバー25が本体21に組みつけられると、取付アーム45は下カバー25のリブ26と係合リブ33との間に挟まれる。取付アーム45に引っ張り力が加わっても、リブ26によって返りツメ46が変形して係合リブ33から離れる方向に浮き上がることが防止されるので、引張力による返りツメ46の変形が抑制され、返りツメ46が係合リブ33から外れることを更に抑制することができるような構成となっている。   As shown in FIG. 5B, when the lower cover 25 is assembled to the main body 21, the mounting arm 45 is sandwiched between the rib 26 of the lower cover 25 and the engaging rib 33. Even if a pulling force is applied to the mounting arm 45, the return claw 46 is prevented from being deformed by the rib 26 and lifted away from the engagement rib 33, so that deformation of the return claw 46 due to the tensile force is suppressed and returned. The claw 46 is configured to be further restrained from being disengaged from the engagement rib 33.

以上説明した構成によるコンソールパネル10の蓋12の開閉動作について図6、7を参照しながら説明する。図6に示すように、組立が終わったコンソールパネル10の蓋板13の表面は意匠面11から飛び出して、若干開いた状態となっている。蓋板13のつまみ14を意匠面11に向かって押すと、蓋12には意匠面11に向かう押し付け力がかかる。この押し付け力は取付アーム45に伝達され、取付アーム45を差し込み方向に押す。しかし、取付アーム45の先端部は下カバー25によって差し込み方向への移動が制限されているので、差し込み方向には移動しない。一方、蓋板13と取付アーム45との接続部近傍には蓋板13を3連プラグ端子の配列方向に沿った軸、図6では紙面に垂直な軸の周りに回転させる弾性ヒンジが形成されている。この弾性ヒンジの回転軸とつまみ14との間には距離があることから、つまみ14に掛かった意匠面11に向かう方向の押し付け力は、弾性ヒンジの周りに蓋板13を回転させる回転モーメントとして作用する。そして、この回転モーメントの大きさが蓋板13と取付アーム45の接続部近傍に形成される弾性ヒンジの変形抵抗モーメントよりも大きくなると、蓋板13は弾性ヒンジの周りに回転し、意匠面11に近づいていく。蓋板13が意匠面11に近づくほど弾性ヒンジの変形抵抗による開方向への反発力が大きくなってくる。そして、更に、つまみ14を意匠面11に向かって押し続けると蓋板13のプラグ収納室19の側に形成された各円環状の外周リブ41の内面と各端子筒28の外面とが接触し始める。外周リブ41の内径は端子筒28の外径よりも小さく形成されているので、外周リブ41が端子筒28の外面に嵌まり込むにつれて端子筒28は外周リブ41を押し広げ、これによって外周リブ41は端子筒28の外面を締め付ける締付力を発生する。   The opening / closing operation of the lid 12 of the console panel 10 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, the surface of the cover plate 13 of the console panel 10 that has been assembled protrudes from the design surface 11 and is slightly open. When the knob 14 of the cover plate 13 is pressed toward the design surface 11, a pressing force toward the design surface 11 is applied to the cover 12. This pressing force is transmitted to the mounting arm 45 and pushes the mounting arm 45 in the insertion direction. However, since the movement of the attachment arm 45 in the insertion direction is restricted by the lower cover 25, it does not move in the insertion direction. On the other hand, an elastic hinge is formed in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the cover plate 13 and the mounting arm 45 to rotate the cover plate 13 around an axis along the arrangement direction of the triple plug terminals, in FIG. ing. Since there is a distance between the rotary shaft of the elastic hinge and the knob 14, the pressing force in the direction toward the design surface 11 applied to the knob 14 is a rotational moment for rotating the cover plate 13 around the elastic hinge. Works. When the magnitude of the rotational moment becomes larger than the deformation resistance moment of the elastic hinge formed in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the cover plate 13 and the mounting arm 45, the cover plate 13 rotates around the elastic hinge, and the design surface 11 Approaching. The closer the cover plate 13 is to the design surface 11, the greater the repulsive force in the opening direction due to the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge. Further, when the knob 14 is continuously pushed toward the design surface 11, the inner surface of each annular outer peripheral rib 41 formed on the plug housing chamber 19 side of the cover plate 13 and the outer surface of each terminal cylinder 28 come into contact with each other. start. Since the inner diameter of the outer peripheral rib 41 is smaller than the outer diameter of the terminal cylinder 28, the terminal cylinder 28 expands the outer peripheral rib 41 as the outer peripheral rib 41 fits into the outer surface of the terminal cylinder 28, thereby the outer peripheral rib 41. 41 generates a tightening force for tightening the outer surface of the terminal tube 28.

一方、外周リブ41の中心に形成されたピン42は、蓋板13が回転して意匠面11に近づくにつれ、端子筒28に設けられた端子穴29に入り込み、その先端が端子穴29の内面と接触する。ピン42の先端は弾性ヒンジに向かうほど高くなるように斜めに形成されている。このため、蓋板13が意匠面11との間に角度があり、端子穴29の内面とピンの先端に角度がある場合でもピン42の弾性ヒンジから遠い位置にある部分と端子穴29の周縁とが干渉せずにスムーズにピン42が端子穴29の中に入り込むことができる。ピン42は外周に図3で説明した突起43が形成されており、この突起43の外径は端子穴29の内径よりも大きくなっている。このため端子穴29の中にピン42が入り込んでいくと、弾性体のピン42は圧縮され、その反発力によって端子穴29の内面に向かう反発力が発生する。   On the other hand, the pin 42 formed at the center of the outer peripheral rib 41 enters the terminal hole 29 provided in the terminal cylinder 28 as the cover plate 13 rotates and approaches the design surface 11, and the tip thereof is the inner surface of the terminal hole 29. Contact with. The tip of the pin 42 is formed obliquely so as to become higher toward the elastic hinge. For this reason, even if the cover plate 13 has an angle between the design surface 11 and the inner surface of the terminal hole 29 and the tip of the pin have an angle, the portion of the pin 42 far from the elastic hinge and the periphery of the terminal hole 29 The pins 42 can smoothly enter the terminal holes 29 without interfering with each other. The pin 42 is formed with the protrusion 43 described in FIG. 3 on the outer periphery, and the outer diameter of the protrusion 43 is larger than the inner diameter of the terminal hole 29. Therefore, when the pin 42 enters the terminal hole 29, the elastic pin 42 is compressed, and a repulsive force directed toward the inner surface of the terminal hole 29 is generated by the repulsive force.

そして、更に、蓋板13が意匠面11と略同一面になると、外周リブ41は端子筒28によって更に押し広げられて、端子筒28の外面に大きな締付力を発生させる。また、ピン42は更に端子穴29に差し込まれて圧縮され、その内面に反発力を発生させる。そして、蓋板13が意匠面11と略同一面となると、外周リブ41による締付力とピン42による反発力による蓋板13を閉状態に保持する保持力が、蓋板13と取付アーム45の接合部近傍に形成される弾性ヒンジの変形抵抗による開方向の反発力よりも大きくなり、蓋板13は3連プラグ端子27に保持される。   Further, when the cover plate 13 is substantially flush with the design surface 11, the outer peripheral rib 41 is further expanded by the terminal tube 28 to generate a large tightening force on the outer surface of the terminal tube 28. Further, the pin 42 is further inserted into the terminal hole 29 and compressed to generate a repulsive force on the inner surface thereof. When the cover plate 13 is substantially flush with the design surface 11, the holding force for holding the cover plate 13 in the closed state by the tightening force by the outer peripheral rib 41 and the repulsive force by the pin 42 is the cover plate 13 and the mounting arm 45. The repulsive force in the opening direction due to the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge formed in the vicinity of the joint portion is larger, and the cover plate 13 is held by the triple plug terminal 27.

このように、外周リブ41による締付力とピン42による反発力により蓋板13は3連プラグ端子27に保持されるので保持力が大きくなり、蓋板13に形成された取付アーム45の幅が広く、蓋板13と取付アーム45の接合部近傍に形成される弾性ヒンジの変形抵抗による開方向の反発力が大きい場合であっても、蓋板13を閉状態に保持してその表面を意匠面11と略同一に保持することができる。   Thus, since the lid plate 13 is held by the triple plug terminal 27 by the tightening force by the outer peripheral rib 41 and the repulsive force by the pin 42, the holding force is increased, and the width of the mounting arm 45 formed on the lid plate 13 is increased. Even when the repulsive force in the opening direction due to the deformation resistance of the elastic hinge formed near the joint between the lid plate 13 and the mounting arm 45 is large, the lid plate 13 is held in the closed state to It can be held substantially the same as the design surface 11.

図7に示すように、蓋12を開く場合には、閉じる際の動作と逆に、つまみ14を引出して、蓋板13に掛かった引き出し方向の力が外周リブ41による締付力とピン42による反発力による蓋12を閉状態に保持する保持力を上回ると、蓋板13は意匠面11から徐々に引き出される。一方、蓋12に設けられた取付アーム45は先端の返りツメ46が係合リブ33に係合しており、リブ26によって厚さ方向の移動を制限されていることから、取付アーム45は引き出し方向には移動せず蓋板13は弾性ヒンジの回転軸の周りに回転して開きだす。   As shown in FIG. 7, when opening the lid 12, contrary to the closing operation, the knob 14 is pulled out, and the force in the pulling direction applied to the lid plate 13 is the tightening force by the outer peripheral rib 41 and the pin 42. When the holding force for holding the lid 12 in the closed state due to the repulsive force of is exceeded, the lid plate 13 is gradually pulled out from the design surface 11. On the other hand, the attachment arm 45 provided on the lid 12 has the return claw 46 at the tip engaged with the engagement rib 33, and the movement in the thickness direction is restricted by the rib 26. Without moving in the direction, the cover plate 13 rotates around the rotation axis of the elastic hinge and opens.

蓋板13が開くと共に、外周リブ41が端子筒28によって押し広げられている部分とピン42の端子穴29に差し込まれて圧縮による反発力を発生している部分とが減少し、蓋板13を3連プラグ端子27に保持しておく保持力が低下してくる。そして、更に蓋板13が回転すると、外周リブ41とピン42は端子筒28の外面と端子穴の内面からはずれる。すると蓋板13を閉状態に保持しようとする力がなくなるので、蓋12が開き、内部に設けられた3連プラグ端子27にオス側プラグを差し込めるようになる。蓋12を開く場合でも、ピン42の先端が斜めに形成されていることからのその先端が端子穴29の周縁に干渉することなく蓋12を開くことができる。   As the cover plate 13 is opened, the portion where the outer peripheral rib 41 is pushed and expanded by the terminal tube 28 and the portion where the repulsive force due to compression is generated by being inserted into the terminal hole 29 of the pin 42 are reduced. The holding force for holding the three plug terminals 27 is reduced. When the cover plate 13 is further rotated, the outer peripheral rib 41 and the pin 42 are detached from the outer surface of the terminal tube 28 and the inner surface of the terminal hole. Then, since the force to hold the lid plate 13 in the closed state is lost, the lid 12 is opened, and the male side plug can be inserted into the triple plug terminal 27 provided inside. Even when the lid 12 is opened, the lid 12 can be opened without interfering with the peripheral edge of the terminal hole 29 because the tip of the pin 42 is formed obliquely.

以上述べたように、本実施形態では、蓋12の取付アーム45の先端にV字形状の返りツメ46を設け、これを係合リブ33に係合させるという簡便な構成で、返りツメ46が係合リブ33から外れにくく、大きな引張力がかかった場合でも蓋12は簡単に抜けないという効果を奏する。また、本実施形態では、本体21に蓋12を取り付けた状態で、上カバー23、下カバー25を取り付けていない状態であっても、蓋12が抜けにくい構造とすることができ、コンソールパネル組み立ての際に一旦取り付けた蓋12が外れて組み立て不良が発生することを抑制することができる。更に、本実施形態では、下カバー25が本体21に組みつけられると、取付アーム45は下カバー25のリブ26と係合リブ33との間に挟まれ、取付アーム45に引っ張り力が加わった際にリブ26によって返りツメ46が変形して係合リブ33から離れる方向に浮き上がることが防止されるので、引張力による返りツメ46の変形が抑制され、返りツメ46が係合リブ33から外れることを更に抑制することができるという効果を奏する。   As described above, in this embodiment, the return claw 46 has a simple configuration in which the V-shaped return claw 46 is provided at the tip of the mounting arm 45 of the lid 12 and is engaged with the engagement rib 33. Even when a large tensile force is applied to the engagement rib 33, the lid 12 can be easily removed. In the present embodiment, the lid 12 can be easily removed even when the cover 12 is attached to the main body 21 and the upper cover 23 and the lower cover 25 are not attached. In this case, it can be prevented that the lid 12 once attached is detached and assembly failure occurs. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the lower cover 25 is assembled to the main body 21, the mounting arm 45 is sandwiched between the rib 26 of the lower cover 25 and the engaging rib 33, and a tensile force is applied to the mounting arm 45. At this time, the return claw 46 is prevented from being deformed and lifted away from the engagement rib 33 by the rib 26, so that deformation of the return claw 46 due to the tensile force is suppressed, and the return claw 46 is detached from the engagement rib 33. There is an effect that this can be further suppressed.

また、本実施形態では、取付アーム45は2つの保持ツメ35とプラグ収納室19の内面との間に挟まれてその長手方向軸の周りに回転することを抑制するよう構成されている。このため、蓋12が開いた状態であっても蓋板13がグラついて端子の接続の操作性を低下させることを防止することができるという効果を奏する。   Further, in the present embodiment, the mounting arm 45 is configured to be restrained from being sandwiched between the two holding claws 35 and the inner surface of the plug storage chamber 19 and rotating around its longitudinal axis. For this reason, even if the lid 12 is open, it is possible to prevent the lid plate 13 from being glazed and reducing the operability of terminal connection.
