Description

本発明は、スイッチ基板と化粧カバーとの間に操作銘板を交換可能に備えたスイッチ箱に関する。 The present invention relates to a switch box provided with an operation nameplate exchangeable between a switch board and a decorative cover.

従来、負荷回路の所在等を表示する操作銘板を交換可能に備えたスイッチ箱が知られている。例えば、図１０に示すように、特許文献１に記載されたスイッチ箱５１は、本体５２の前面に静電容量スイッチの基板５３を設け、スイッチ基板５３と化粧カバー５４との間に透明な保護カバー５５と操作銘板５６とを重ね合わせて介装し、化粧カバー５４と保護カバー５５を本体５２から取り外して、操作銘板５６を表示部５７のデザインが異なるものと交換できるようになっている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a switch box provided with an exchangeable operation name plate for indicating the location of a load circuit. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the switch box 51 described in Patent Document 1 includes a capacitance switch substrate 53 on the front surface of a main body 52, and a transparent protection between the switch substrate 53 and the decorative cover 54. The cover 55 and the operation name plate 56 are overlapped and interposed, the decorative cover 54 and the protective cover 55 are removed from the main body 52, and the operation name plate 56 can be exchanged for a display having a different design.

ところが、従来のスイッチ箱５１によると、操作銘板５６の交換に際して、ユーザーは化粧カバー５４と保護カバー５５の両方を取り外す必要があり、交換作業に手間がかかるという問題点があった。 However, according to the conventional switch box 51, when the operation nameplate 56 is replaced, the user needs to remove both the decorative cover 54 and the protective cover 55, and there is a problem that the replacement work is troublesome.

本発明の目的は、化粧カバーを取り外すだけで、操作銘板を容易に交換できるスイッチ箱を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a switch box in which an operation nameplate can be easily replaced by simply removing a decorative cover.

上記課題を解決するために、本願発明のスイッチ箱は、壁面に収納される本体の前面にスイッチ基板を設け、スイッチ基板に操作銘板を重ね、当該操作銘板と本体の周縁部を覆う被覆部を備えた化粧カバーとの間に透明な保護カバーを介装したスイッチ箱において、
保護カバーは、裏面に操作銘板の表示領域を収容するための凹所を有すると共に、縁部に操作銘板を挿脱するための開放部を凹設する一方、周縁部に操作銘板の端部が接合する接合部を有し、操作銘板を開放部から保護カバーとスイッチ基板との間に挿入して、表示領域を凹所に収容すると共に、操作銘板の端部を接合部へ接合させ、化粧カバーに操作銘板の表示領域を保護カバー越しに透視する窓部を形成したことを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problem, a switch box of the present invention, a switch board provided on the front surface of the main body to be housed in the wall, overlapping the operation nameplate switch substrate, the covering section covering the periphery of the operation name plate and the body In a switch box with a transparent protective cover interposed between the decorative cover provided ,
The protective cover has a recess for accommodating the display area of the operation nameplate on the back surface, and has an open portion for inserting and removing the operation nameplate at the edge, while the end of the operation nameplate is at the peripheral edge. Insert the operation nameplate between the protective cover and the switch board from the open part to accommodate the display area in the recess, and join the end of the operation nameplate to the joint. A window portion is formed on the cover so that the display area of the operation nameplate can be seen through the protective cover.

本発明のスイッチ箱によれば、操作銘板の端部が保護カバーの凹所から突出しているので、保護カバーを取り付けたままの状態で、化粧カバーのみを取り外し、端部を摘んで操作銘板を容易に交換できるという効果がある。 According to the switch box of the present invention, since the end portion of the operation nameplate protrudes from the recess of the protective cover, with the protective cover still attached, remove only the decorative cover, pick the end portion and remove the operation nameplate. There is an effect that it can be easily replaced.

以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図１に示すように、この実施形態のスイッチ箱１は壁面等に埋め込まれる本体２を備えている。本体２の前面にはスイッチ基板３が取り付けられ、この基板３上に図示しない複数のスイッチ（例えば静電スイッチ）が配設されている。スイッチ基板３には操作銘板４が重ね合わされ、操作銘板４と化粧カバー５との間に保護カバー６が介装されている。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the switch box 1 of this embodiment includes a main body 2 embedded in a wall surface or the like. A switch board 3 is attached to the front surface of the main body 2, and a plurality of switches (for example, electrostatic switches) (not shown) are disposed on the board 3. An operation nameplate 4 is superimposed on the switch board 3, and a protective cover 6 is interposed between the operation nameplate 4 and the decorative cover 5.

操作銘板４には表示領域４ａが設けられ、表示領域４ａを透視できるように保護カバー６が透明材料で形成されている。保護カバー６の四隅には、本体２の掛止部７に係脱可能な掛止爪８が形成されている。化粧カバー５には、本体２の周縁部２aを覆う被覆部９と、保護カバー６を透かして表示領域４ａを見せる窓部１０とが形成されている。被覆部９の裏面には、本体２の係止部１１に係脱可能な取付片１２が突設されている。 The operation nameplate 4 is provided with a display area 4a, and a protective cover 6 is formed of a transparent material so that the display area 4a can be seen through. At the four corners of the protective cover 6, latching claws 8 that can be engaged with and detached from the latching portion 7 of the main body 2 are formed. The decorative cover 5 is formed with a covering portion 9 that covers the peripheral edge portion 2 a of the main body 2 and a window portion 10 that shows the display area 4 a through the protective cover 6. An attachment piece 12 that can be engaged with and disengaged from the engaging portion 11 of the main body 2 protrudes from the back surface of the covering portion 9.

図２、図３に示すように、本体２の内部にはスイッチ基板３を支持する一対のボス１３が設けられ、ボス１３の端面にスイッチ基板３を係止するピン１４が突設されている。本体２の周縁部２aには、接合部１５（図２にハッチングで示す部分）が一段低くなる凹形に形成されている。そして、接合部１５に操作銘板４の端部４ｂ（図１参照）が接合し、取付状態の化粧カバー５が被覆部９で接合部１５を覆うようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a pair of bosses 13 for supporting the switch board 3 are provided inside the main body 2, and pins 14 for locking the switch board 3 are projected from the end faces of the bosses 13. . A joining portion 15 (portion shown by hatching in FIG. 2) is formed in a concave shape on the peripheral edge portion 2a of the main body 2 so as to be lowered by one step. And the edge part 4b (refer FIG. 1) of the operation nameplate 4 joins to the junction part 15, and the decorative cover 5 of an attachment state covers the junction part 15 with the coating | coated part 9. FIG.

図４、図５に示すように、保護カバー６の裏面（スイッチ基板３と対向する面）には、操作銘板４の表示領域４ａを収容するための凹所１６が形成されている。凹部１６は、保護カバー６の板厚を薄くするように矩形に形成され、保護カバー６の上縁と対応する部位に開放部１６ａを備えている。そして、操作銘板４の端部４ｂが、開放部１６ａから保護カバー６の上方に突出し、表示領域４ａを凹所１６に出し入れする摘みとして機能するようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a recess 16 for accommodating the display area 4 a of the operation nameplate 4 is formed on the back surface (the surface facing the switch substrate 3) of the protective cover 6. The concave portion 16 is formed in a rectangular shape so as to reduce the plate thickness of the protective cover 6, and includes an open portion 16 a at a portion corresponding to the upper edge of the protective cover 6. The end 4b of the operation nameplate 4 protrudes from the opening 16a above the protective cover 6 and functions as a knob for taking the display area 4a into and out of the recess 16.

図６に示すように、操作銘板４をセットするときには、本体２から化粧カバー５を取り外し、保護カバー６の開放部１６ａから操作銘板４を挿入する。すると、図７に示すように、操作銘板４は、表示領域４ａが保護カバー６の凹所１６に収まり、端部４ｂが本体２の接合部１５に接合する。従って、保護カバー６を本体２に取り付けたままの状態で、操作銘板４をスイッチ基板３と保護カバー６との隙間に簡単にセットできる。 As shown in FIG. 6, when setting the operation nameplate 4, the decorative cover 5 is removed from the main body 2, and the operation nameplate 4 is inserted from the opening 16 a of the protective cover 6. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, in the operation nameplate 4, the display area 4 a is received in the recess 16 of the protective cover 6, and the end 4 b is joined to the joint 15 of the main body 2. Therefore, the operation nameplate 4 can be easily set in the gap between the switch board 3 and the protective cover 6 with the protective cover 6 attached to the main body 2.

図８に示すように、操作銘板４を取り出すときには、化粧カバー５を取り外した状態で、端部４ｂを摘んで操作銘板４を凹所１６から引き出す。このとき、端部４ｂは保護カバー６の外側で周縁部２aの接合部１５に接合しているので、図９に示すように、保護カバー６を取り付けたままの状態で、操作銘板４をスイッチ箱１から容易に取り出すことができる。また、スイッチ基板３が保護カバー６で覆われているので、ユーザーの指先がスイッチ基板３に触れるおそれもない。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the operation name plate 4 is taken out, the operation name plate 4 is pulled out from the recess 16 by grasping the end 4 b with the decorative cover 5 removed. At this time, since the end portion 4b is joined to the joining portion 15 of the peripheral edge portion 2a outside the protective cover 6, the operation nameplate 4 can be switched with the protective cover 6 still attached as shown in FIG. It can be easily taken out from the box 1. Further, since the switch board 3 is covered with the protective cover 6, there is no possibility that the user's fingertip touches the switch board 3.

本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、操作銘板４を左右方向に出し入れするなど、発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、各部の構成や形状を適宜に変更して実施することも可能である。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the configuration and shape of each part may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as inserting and removing the operation nameplate 4 in the left-right direction. Is also possible.
