また、通信機本体10の外面には、通信機4を識別するための固有の識別記号18が付されている。具体的に、識別記号18は、下部本体12の側面12a(通信機本体10の側面)に付されている。下部本体12の側面12aは、カバー20の胴部21の下端部と対向している。そして、カバー20の胴部21には、外部から下部本体12の識別記号18を視認するための切欠き部25,26が設けられている。切欠き部25,26は、胴部21においてその軸周りにおける互いに180度ずれた位置に2つ設けられている。つまり、2つの切欠き部25,26は互いに対向して設けられている。切欠き部25,26は、下端縁から切り欠かれており、周方向に延びる略矩形状に形成されている。   Further, a unique identification symbol 18 for identifying the communication device 4 is attached to the outer surface of the communication device main body 10. Specifically, the identification symbol 18 is attached to the side surface 12a of the lower main body 12 (the side surface of the communication device main body 10). The side surface 12 a of the lower main body 12 faces the lower end portion of the body portion 21 of the cover 20. The body portion 21 of the cover 20 is provided with notches 25 and 26 for visually recognizing the identification symbol 18 of the lower main body 12 from the outside. Two cutout portions 25 and 26 are provided in the barrel portion 21 at positions shifted by 180 degrees around the axis thereof. That is, the two notches 25 and 26 are provided to face each other. The notches 25 and 26 are notched from the lower edge, and are formed in a substantially rectangular shape extending in the circumferential direction.

2つの切欠き部25,26は、カバー20が通信機本体10に取り付けられた状態で、一方の切欠き部25は識別記号18に対応する位置に形成され、他方の切欠き部26は一方の切欠き部25と対向する位置に形成される。本実施形態では、2つの切欠き部25,26は、上部本体11における互いに対向する2つの側面11a、11bに対応する位置に設けられている。   The two cutout portions 25 and 26 are formed at a position corresponding to the identification symbol 18 in a state where the cover 20 is attached to the communication device main body 10, and the other cutout portion 26 is one of the cutout portions 26. It is formed at a position facing the notch 25. In the present embodiment, the two notches 25 and 26 are provided at positions corresponding to the two side surfaces 11 a and 11 b facing each other in the upper body 11.

以上のように、上記実施形態の通信機4によれば、識別記号18を通信機本体10に付して、カバー20において外部から識別記号18を視認するための切欠き部25,26を設けるようにした。そのため、通信機4の監視や管理を行う際に識別記号18を容易に視認することができる。そして、上述したように識別記号18をカバー20ではなく通信機本体10に設けていることから、作業者が点検やメンテナンス時にカバー20を取り違えるという人為的ミスを排除することができる。つまり、点検等でカバー20を着脱しても、識別記号18がその対応する通信機4以外の通信機に付されるという事態を招く虞がなくなる。   As described above, according to the communication device 4 of the above embodiment, the identification symbol 18 is attached to the communication device main body 10, and the notches 25 and 26 for visually recognizing the identification symbol 18 from the outside are provided on the cover 20. I did it. Therefore, the identification symbol 18 can be easily visually recognized when the communication device 4 is monitored and managed. Since the identification symbol 18 is provided not in the cover 20 but in the communication device main body 10 as described above, it is possible to eliminate human error that the operator mistakes the cover 20 during inspection or maintenance. That is, even if the cover 20 is attached or detached for inspection or the like, there is no possibility that the identification symbol 18 is attached to a communication device other than the corresponding communication device 4.

また、上記実施形態の通信機4によれば、切欠き部25,26を胴部21において互いに180度ずれた位置に2つ設けるようにしたため、カバー20を通信機本体10に取り付ける際に切欠き部25,26の位置を確認する必要がなくなる。上記実施形態では、カバー20において2つの嵌め込み部23,24(取付部)を互いに180度ずれた位置に設けるようにしている。つまり、2つの嵌め込み部23,24が互いに等間隔で配置されている。そのため、安定してカバー20を通信機本体10に取り付けることができると共に、カバー20の軸周りにおける取付け角度の制限を緩和することができる。ここで、仮にカバーにおいて切欠き部を1つだけ設けるようにした場合、切欠き部が識別記号の側に位置するようカバーの向きを考慮してカバーを取り付ける必要が生じる。この点、上記実施形態によれば、2つの切欠き部25,26が互いに180度ずれた位置に設けられているため、嵌め込み部23,24の位置だけを確認してカバー20を取り付ければ、2つの切欠き部25,26の一方を必ず識別記号18に対応して位置させることができる。つまり、切欠き部25,26の位置を確認せずにカバー20を取り付けることができる。したがって、カバー20を取付作業が簡易となる。   Further, according to the communication device 4 of the above embodiment, the two cutout portions 25 and 26 are provided at positions shifted from each other by 180 degrees in the trunk portion 21, so that when the cover 20 is attached to the communication device main body 10, There is no need to confirm the positions of the notches 25 and 26. In the above embodiment, the cover 20 is provided with the two fitting portions 23 and 24 (attachment portions) at positions shifted from each other by 180 degrees. That is, the two fitting parts 23 and 24 are arrange | positioned at equal intervals mutually. Therefore, the cover 20 can be stably attached to the communication device main body 10, and the restriction on the attachment angle around the axis of the cover 20 can be relaxed. Here, if only one notch is provided in the cover, it is necessary to attach the cover in consideration of the orientation of the cover so that the notch is positioned on the identification symbol side. In this regard, according to the above-described embodiment, since the two notches 25 and 26 are provided at positions shifted from each other by 180 degrees, if only the positions of the fitting portions 23 and 24 are confirmed and the cover 20 is attached, One of the two notches 25 and 26 can always be positioned corresponding to the identification symbol 18. That is, the cover 20 can be attached without confirming the positions of the notches 25 and 26. Therefore, the work for attaching the cover 20 is simplified.

なお、上記実施形態では、識別記号18を通信機本体10の側面(下部本体12の側面12a)に設けるようにしたが、通信機本体10の上面(例えば、上部本体11の上面)に識別記号18を付するようにしてもよい。その場合、切欠き部はカバーの上壁部に設けられる。   In the above embodiment, the identification symbol 18 is provided on the side surface of the communication device main body 10 (side surface 12a of the lower main body 12), but the identification symbol is provided on the upper surface of the communication device main body 10 (for example, the upper surface of the upper main body 11). 18 may be attached. In that case, the notch is provided on the upper wall of the cover.

また、上記実施形態では、無線の通信機4について説明したが、本願に開示の技術は、有線の通信機であっても同様の作用効果を奏することができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the wireless communication device 4 has been described. However, the technology disclosed in the present application can achieve the same operation and effect even with a wired communication device.

本願に開示の技術は、通信機について有用である。   The technique disclosed in the present application is useful for a communication device.
