Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reader / writer mounting structure for mounting the reader / writer 11 to the front panel 3a is devised so that the reader / writer 11 having different standards can be mounted.
Specifically, in this embodiment, a reader / writer installation adapter 31 for compatibility is adopted, and reader / writer 11s having different standards can be attached to the reader / writer mounting opening 25.

Explaining the reader / writer mounting structure with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, first, the reader / writer mounting opening 25 is initially formed in the front panel 3a based on the size and shape of the reader / writer. For example, the opening 25 for mounting the reader / writer has a rectangular shape (FIG. 4).
Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the outer shape of the reader / writer 11 is different in specifications, for example, the vertical dimension is larger than the reader / writer mounting opening 25, and the width direction dimension is for the reader / writer mounting. It has a block shape smaller than the opening 25. The rear end surface of the reader / writer 11 serves as the installation surface 11a. That is, the installation surface 11a of the reader / writer 11 has a rear surface having a size and shape different from that of the opening 25 for mounting the reader / writer.

Further, the seal member 33 is mounted on the outer peripheral portion of the installation surface 11a. Further, four boss portions 35 are projected on the four corner sides of the installation surface 11a, and screw holes 37 (reader / writer fixing seats) are formed at the tip portions of the boss portions 35. By the way, the four screw holes 37 of the reader / writer 11 have a vertical pitch larger than the vertical dimension of the reader / writer mounting opening 25 formed in the front panel 3a, and the horizontal pitch is for mounting the reader / writer. It is smaller than the horizontal dimension of the opening 25 (different from the original reader / writer).

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a mounting plate 39 (corresponding to the mounting member of the present application) is arranged on the back surface of the front panel 3a so as to cover the opening of the reader / writer mounting opening 25 from the back surface side. The mounting plate 39 is a component used for mounting the reader / writer 11, and is a bracket portion 41 protruding from the back surface of the front panel 3a, a screw member 43 screwed into the bracket portion 41, and an insertion hole through which the screw member 43 is inserted. By using 43a, the plate surface is fixed in a posture facing the reader / writer mounting opening 25.

The reader / writer installation adapter 31 is a component that is arranged so as to cover the front surface of the reader / writer mounting opening 25 by using the mounting plate 39.
Explaining the reader / writer installation adapter 31, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the reader / writer installation adapter 31 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin and has a plate-shaped cover portion 47.

The frame-shaped convex portion 61 is formed in advance corresponding to the position of the reader / writer mounting opening 25, and the frame-shaped convex portion 61 is simply fitted into the reader / writer mounting opening 25 from the front side of the door body 3. The cover portion 47 is arranged on the front surface of the front panel 3a so as to cover the opening 25 for mounting the reader / writer, and at the same time, the screw hole 53 of the boss portion 51 is positioned in the through hole 39a of the mounting plate 39. Of course, the frame-shaped convex portion 61 also has a function of preventing foreign matter (driver tip or the like) from entering the reader / writer mounting opening 25 from the outside. Incidentally, the frame-shaped convex portion 61 is integrated with the boss portion 51, and is integrally connected to the inner rib 52 via various ribs 64.

Further, a rectangular seal groove portion 62a for accommodating the seal member 62 is formed around the convex portion 61, and the seal member 62 seals between the back surface of the cover portion 47 and the opening 25 for mounting the reader / writer. (Figs. 3 and 4).
Further, on the back surface of the cover portion 47 (adapter for installing the reader / writer), the adapter portion facing the opening for mounting the reader / writer 25, specifically, the plate surface portion surrounded by the convex portion 61 and the grid-shaped rib 52. A wiring insertion opening 63 through which the wirings 11b extending from the reader / writer 11 is inserted is formed (FIG. 4). Here, the wiring insertion opening 63 is arranged on one side in the left-right direction, for example, at a position biased to the right side. Incidentally, a rib portion 64a is provided on the side (left side) opposite to the side (left side) that is biased with the wiring insertion opening 63 in between (both are shown in FIG. 4).

Further, the mounting plate 39 is formed with an opening portion 65 for guiding the wirings 11b from the wiring insertion opening 63 to the control unit installed on the back surface of the door body 3, although not shown, and the reader / writer 11 and the control unit. It has a structure that connects the spaces.
