特開2007-315671号公報Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-315671

このような浴室用リモコンでは、一般的に、ハーネス部が挿入される開口部を介してケース内に水が浸入しないように、開口部にシール部材が嵌め込まれ、そのシール部材に形成した孔部を通じてハーネス部がケース内に水密状態で挿入される。しかし、この構成では、装置全体の薄型化を図るべく、基板とケースの背面部との間隔を小さくしようとすると、シール部材の孔部を通じてケース内に入り込んだハーネス部の電線部が基板と背面部との間に挟まれたり、電線部の負荷が大きくなりすぎたりして、電線部が劣化又は損傷するおそれがある。 In such bathroom remote controllers, a sealing member is generally fitted into the opening to prevent water from entering the case through the opening into which the harness is inserted, and a hole formed in the sealing member. The harness part is inserted into the case in a watertight state through the hole. However, in this configuration, when an attempt is made to reduce the distance between the substrate and the rear surface of the case in order to reduce the thickness of the entire device, the wire portion of the harness portion that has entered the case through the hole of the sealing member will become sluggish between the substrate and the rear surface. There is a risk that the wire part will be deteriorated or damaged due to being caught between the wire part and the wire part or the load on the wire part becoming too large.

本発明は上述した課題の少なくとも一つを解決するためになされたものであり、装置全体の薄型化を図りつつ、ハーネス部の電線部の劣化や損傷を抑制し得る浴室用リモコンを提供することを目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve at least one of the above-described problems, and to provide a remote controller for a bathroom that can suppress deterioration and damage to the wire portion of the harness portion while reducing the thickness of the entire device. With the goal.

本発明の一態様の浴室用リモコンは、
浴室に設置される浴室用リモコンであって、
電子部品が実装される基板と、
前記基板の背面と対向する背面部を有するとともに、前記背面部において前後に貫通した第1開口部が形成されてなるケースと、
前記第1開口部に嵌め込まれ、前記ケースの外側から内側に通じる孔部を有するシール部材と、
前記孔部に挿し通される1以上の電線部を有し、一端側が前記基板に電気的に接続されるハーネス部と、
を備え、
前記基板には、前後に貫通した第2開口部が形成され、
前記シール部材の前側に前記第2開口部の開口領域が位置し、前記電線部の一部が前記孔部から前記第2開口部内に入り込むように配置される。
A bathroom remote control according to one aspect of the present invention comprises:
A bathroom remote controller installed in a bathroom,
a substrate on which electronic components are mounted;
a case having a back surface facing the back surface of the substrate and having a first opening penetrating back and forth in the back surface;
a sealing member that is fitted in the first opening and has a hole communicating from the outside to the inside of the case;
a harness part having one or more electric wire parts inserted through the hole part, one end side of which is electrically connected to the substrate;
with
A second opening penetrating back and forth is formed in the substrate,
An opening area of the second opening is positioned on the front side of the sealing member, and a portion of the electric wire portion is arranged to enter the second opening from the hole.

上記一態様の浴室用リモコンは、前後に貫通した第1開口部がケースの背面部に形成されており、第1開口部にシール部材が嵌め込まれる。シール部材は、ケースの外側から内側に通じるように貫通する孔部を有しており、この孔部にハーネス部の電線部が挿し通される。このように構成することで、ケースの内外に跨るようにハーネス部を配置し得る構成を、防水性を高めつつ実現できる。
更に、基板には、前後に貫通した第2開口部が形成されており、シール部材の前側に第2開口部の開口領域が位置し、電線部の一部が孔部から第2開口部に入り込むように配置される。このようにシール部材の前側に開口領域が存在すれば、電線部において孔部から前方に延びる部位(孔部近傍の部位)の一部又は全部を基板と背面部との間に挟み込ませることなく配置することができる。従って、この部位の一部又は全部を基板と干渉させずに配置することができ、その分、基板と背面部とを近づけて配置することができる。ゆえに、装置全体の薄型化を図りやすくなる。しかも、上記部位(電線部において孔部から前方に延びる部位)の一部又は全部が基板と背面部との間に挟まれにくくなるため、当該部位の劣化や損傷を抑制することができる。
In the bathroom remote controller of the one aspect described above, the first opening penetrating back and forth is formed in the rear surface of the case, and the sealing member is fitted in the first opening. The sealing member has a hole extending through the case from the outside to the inside, and the wire portion of the harness is inserted through the hole. By configuring in this way, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the harness portion can be arranged so as to straddle the inside and outside of the case while improving waterproofness.
Furthermore, the substrate is formed with a second opening penetrating in the front-rear direction. arranged to enter. If the opening area exists on the front side of the sealing member in this way, it is possible to prevent part or all of the portion of the electric wire portion extending forward from the hole portion (the portion near the hole portion) from being sandwiched between the substrate and the rear portion. can be placed. Therefore, part or all of this portion can be arranged without interfering with the substrate, and the substrate and the rear portion can be arranged closer to that amount. Therefore, it becomes easier to reduce the thickness of the entire device. Moreover, part or all of the portion (the portion extending forward from the hole in the electric wire portion) is less likely to be sandwiched between the substrate and the back surface portion, so deterioration and damage of the portion can be suppressed.

ここで、本発明の望ましい一例を示す。
本発明の一態様の浴室用リモコンは、基板の前面に、ハーネス部が接続される接続部が設けられていてもよい。ハーネス部は、前記電線部の一端側に設けられるとともに前記接続部に接続される被接続部を有していてもよい。
このように、基板上で嵩張る懸念のある接続部及び被接続部を基板の前面側に配置した上で、第2開口部及びこれに関連した上記特徴を採用すれば、基板と背面部とをより一層近づけて配置することができ、装置全体の薄型化をより一層図りやすくなる。
Here, a desirable example of the present invention is shown.
The bathroom remote controller of one aspect of the present invention may be provided with a connection portion to which the harness portion is connected on the front surface of the substrate. The harness portion may have a connected portion that is provided on one end side of the electric wire portion and that is connected to the connection portion.
By arranging the connecting part and the connected part, which are likely to be bulky on the board, on the front side of the board and then adopting the second opening and the above-described features related thereto, the board and the back part can be separated. They can be arranged closer to each other, making it easier to reduce the thickness of the entire device.

本発明の一態様の浴室用リモコンにおいて、電線部は、被接続部から下方に延びるとともに基板の下側で折り返され、基板と背面部との間において基板の下側から第2開口部側に延びつつ一部が第2開口部に入り込むように配置されていてもよい。
この構成では、仮にシール部材と電線部との間に存在する微小な隙間を介してケース内に水が浸入したとしても、その水は、基板の裏面側(基板と背面部との間)を通るように電線部を伝って流れやすく、その後、電線部が折り返された部分(基板の下側)の付近から落下しやすくなる。つまり、孔部付近から電線部を伝って流れようとする水が基板の前面側に流れ込みにくくなるため、この水が基板の前面に実装される部品に大きな影響を及ぼすことを防ぐことができる。
In the bathroom remote control according to one aspect of the present invention, the electric wire portion extends downward from the connected portion and is folded back on the lower side of the substrate, and extends from the lower side of the substrate to the second opening side between the substrate and the back surface portion. It may be arranged so as to extend and partially enter the second opening.
With this configuration, even if water enters the case through a minute gap between the sealing member and the electric wire, the water will flow through the back side of the substrate (between the substrate and the back portion). It tends to flow along the electric wire part so as to pass through, and then easily fall from the vicinity of the part where the electric wire part is folded back (under the substrate). In other words, water that tends to flow from the vicinity of the hole along the electric wire portion is less likely to flow into the front side of the substrate, so that the water can be prevented from exerting a large influence on the components mounted on the front surface of the substrate.

本発明の一態様の浴室用リモコンにおいて、接続部は、基板の前面において第2開口部の下方側に設けられていてもよい。そして、孔部の下方側且つ接続部の上方側において接続部の上方を覆うように配置される庇部を備えるようにしてもよい。
この構成によれば、万が一、何らかの理由によって庇部の上方側(例えば孔部付近)から接続部側へと水が流下又は落下したとしても、その水が接続部にかかることを庇部によって防ぐことができる。
In the bathroom remote control according to one aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may be provided below the second opening on the front surface of the board. Further, a canopy portion arranged to cover the upper side of the connecting portion may be provided on the lower side of the hole and the upper side of the connecting portion.
According to this configuration, even if for some reason water flows down or falls from the upper side of the eaves (e.g., near the hole) to the connection part side, the eaves prevent the water from splashing on the connection part. be able to.

次に浴室用リモコン1の組み立て方法の一例について説明する。
浴室用リモコン1の組立では、まず、図3に示すように、第1ケース部材5Aに基板3が組み付けられる。なお、図3では、第1ケース部材5Aに対して、基板3だけでなく枠部材7も組み付けられた状態が示されているが、後述する組み立て方法の例では、枠部材7の組み付けはケース5が壁面に固定された後に行われる。
Next, an example of a method for assembling the bathroom remote controller 1 will be described.
In assembling the bathroom remote control 1, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the substrate 3 is assembled to the first case member 5A. 3 shows a state in which not only the substrate 3 but also the frame member 7 are assembled to the first case member 5A. 5 is fixed to the wall.

基板3は、以下のようにして第1ケース部材5Aに固定される。まず、基板3の前面を第1ケース部材5Aの背面と前後方向に対向させた状態で、基板3を第1ケース部材5Aの背面側の収容部に配置する。このとき、基板3の第1挿通孔部12を、第2前方側規制部30の軸部30Aに挿し通す。これにより、基板3は、前後方向と直交する方向への変位が規制される。更に、基板3は、前方側への変位が第1前方側規制部28、第2前方側規制部30の張出部30B及び第1被取付部34によって規制される。更に、基板3は、内側規制部32によって左方への変位が規制される。更に、ねじ部材を第2挿通孔部14に挿し通してねじ孔部34Aに嵌め込むことで、基板3が第1被取付部34の背面とねじ部材の頭部との間に挟まれた状態となって、基板3が第1ケース部材5Aに固定される。 The substrate 3 is fixed to the first case member 5A as follows. First, with the front surface of the substrate 3 opposed to the rear surface of the first case member 5A in the front-rear direction, the substrate 3 is arranged in the accommodation portion on the rear surface side of the first case member 5A. At this time, the shaft portion 30A of the second front side restricting portion 30 is inserted through the first insertion hole portion 12 of the substrate 3 . As a result, the substrate 3 is restricted from being displaced in the direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction. Further, the substrate 3 is restricted from moving forward by the first front side restricting portion 28 , the projecting portion 30</b>B of the second front restricting portion 30 , and the first attached portion 34 . Further, the substrate 3 is restricted from leftward displacement by the inner restricting portion 32 . Furthermore, by inserting the screw member through the second insertion hole portion 14 and fitting it into the screw hole portion 34A, the substrate 3 is sandwiched between the rear surface of the first attached portion 34 and the head portion of the screw member. As a result, the substrate 3 is fixed to the first case member 5A.

このように第1ケース部材5Aに基板3が固定された状態(ケース5に基板3が収容された状態)では、庇部38は、前方側から第2開口部10の開口領域に入り込んで自身の先端部(後端部)が基板3の背面よりも後方まで延び、開口領域の下端部寄りに配置される(図5参照)。更に、図3に示すように、庇部38の左端部は接続部15の左端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは接続部15の左端部よりも左方まで延びており、庇部38の右端部は接続部15の右端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは接続部15の右端部よりも右方まで延びている。換言すると、接続部15の左端部は、庇部38の左端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは庇部38の左端部よりも右方に配置されており、接続部15の右端部は、庇部38の右端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは庇部38の右端部よりも左方に配置されている。即ち、接続部15は、平面視において庇部38によって全体が覆われている。また、基板3は、自身の切欠部18の切り欠かれた部分にスピーカ固定部36が納まるので、スピーカ固定部36と干渉しない。 In the state where the substrate 3 is fixed to the first case member 5A (the state where the substrate 3 is accommodated in the case 5) in this manner, the eaves portion 38 enters the opening region of the second opening portion 10 from the front side and self-opens. extends rearward from the rear surface of the substrate 3 and is arranged near the lower end of the opening region (see FIG. 5). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the left end of the eaves portion 38 is aligned with the left end of the connection portion 15 in the left-right direction or extends leftward from the left end of the connection portion 15, and the right end of the eaves portion 38 is aligned with the left end of the connection portion 15. The portion is horizontally aligned with the right end of the connection portion 15 or extends to the right of the right end of the connection portion 15 . In other words, the left end portion of the connection portion 15 is aligned with the left end portion of the eaves portion 38 in the left-right direction or is arranged to the right of the left end portion of the eaves portion 38 , and the right end portion of the connection portion 15 is aligned with the eaves portion 38 . It is aligned with the right end of the portion 38 in the left-right direction, or is arranged to the left of the right end of the eaves portion 38 . That is, the connecting portion 15 is entirely covered with the eaves portion 38 in plan view. Further, since the speaker fixing portion 36 is accommodated in the notched portion of the notch portion 18 of the substrate 3, the substrate 3 does not interfere with the speaker fixing portion 36. - 特許庁

こうして第1ケース部材5Aに基板3を固定した後、第2ケース部材5Bを第1ケース部材5Aに組み付ける。なお、シール部材8は、第2ケース部材5Bを第1ケース部材5Aに組み付ける前の段階で、第2ケース部材5Bの第1開口部42E内に取り付けておくことは好ましいが、第2ケース部材5Bを第1ケース部材5Aに組み付けた後に取り付けてもよい。シール部材8は、自身のフランジ部66が前方側に配置された姿勢で、第2ケース部材5Bの前方側から後方へ移動して、筒部60が第1開口部42Eに嵌め込まれる。そして、フランジ部66が収容凹部42Fの奥端面(把持部42D)に当接すると、シール部材8の後方への移動が規制される。これにより、シール部材8は、第2ケース部材5Bに取り付けられた状態となる。 After the substrate 3 is thus fixed to the first case member 5A, the second case member 5B is assembled to the first case member 5A. The seal member 8 is preferably installed in the first opening 42E of the second case member 5B before the second case member 5B is assembled to the first case member 5A. It may be attached after assembling 5B to the first case member 5A. The seal member 8 moves rearward from the front side of the second case member 5B with its own flange portion 66 positioned on the front side, and the tubular portion 60 is fitted into the first opening portion 42E. Then, when the flange portion 66 comes into contact with the rear end surface (the grip portion 42D) of the accommodation recess portion 42F, the rearward movement of the seal member 8 is restricted. As a result, the seal member 8 is attached to the second case member 5B.

第2ケース部材5Bを第1ケース部材5Aに組み付ける工程では、第2ケース部材5Bの収容溝部44内に、第1ケース部材5Aの周壁部22を収容させる。また、収容溝部44内には、環状の第2シール部材92が収容溝部44の全周に亘って入り込み、収容溝部44(第2ケース部材5B)と周壁部22(第1ケース部材5A)との間に介在する。この状態において、周壁部22(第1ケース部材5A)を第2ケース部材5B側に押し付けながら、周壁部22の外周面を全周に亘って第2ケース部材5Bの前面に接着する。接着の方法は限定されないが、例えば、熱溶着による溶着等が望ましい。これにより、第1ケース部材5Aと第2ケース部材5Bは、周壁部22と収容溝部44との間が水密となった状態で連結され、ケース5が完成する。また、周壁部22が収容溝部44内に入り込んだ状態では、第1ケース部材5Aの第1貫通孔部22Bと第2ケース部材5Bの第2貫通孔部48とが前後方向に連通した状態となる。この状態において、互いに連通する第1貫通孔部22B及び第2貫通孔部48に対して前方側からねじ部材を挿し通して、壁面(取付面)に予め開けておいたねじ孔部にねじ込む。これにより、ケース5が壁面(取付面)に固定された状態となる。 In the step of assembling the second case member 5B to the first case member 5A, the peripheral wall portion 22 of the first case member 5A is accommodated in the accommodation groove portion 44 of the second case member 5B. In addition, an annular second seal member 92 enters the accommodation groove portion 44 over the entire circumference of the accommodation groove portion 44, so that the accommodation groove portion 44 (the second case member 5B) and the peripheral wall portion 22 (the first case member 5A) are separated. intervene between In this state, while pressing the peripheral wall portion 22 (first case member 5A) toward the second case member 5B, the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 22 is adhered to the front surface of the second case member 5B over the entire circumference. Although the bonding method is not limited, for example, welding by heat welding is desirable. As a result, the first case member 5A and the second case member 5B are connected in a watertight state between the peripheral wall portion 22 and the accommodation groove portion 44, and the case 5 is completed. In addition, when the peripheral wall portion 22 is inserted into the housing groove portion 44, the first through hole portion 22B of the first case member 5A and the second through hole portion 48 of the second case member 5B communicate in the front-rear direction. Become. In this state, the screw member is inserted from the front side into the first through-hole portion 22B and the second through-hole portion 48 communicating with each other, and screwed into the screw hole portion previously opened in the wall surface (mounting surface). As a result, the case 5 is fixed to the wall surface (mounting surface).

このように壁面(取付面)に固定されたケース5の第1ケース部材5Aに対して、枠部材7が組み付けられる。より具体的には、枠部材7の背面を第1ケース部材5Aの前面に対して前後方向に対向させた状態から、枠部材7を第1ケース部材5A側に押し込むと、枠部材7の被係止部54が第1ケース部材5Aの係止部24に押されて弾性変形し、弾性力によって元の形状に復帰した被係止部54が係止部24に引っ掛かる(図3参照)。これにより、枠部材7が第1ケース部材5A(ケース5)に組み付けられた状態となる。枠部材7が第1ケース部材5A(ケース5)に組み付けられた状態では、第1貫通孔部22B及び第2貫通孔部48に挿し通されるねじ部材(図示省略)が枠部材7によって覆われる。更に、枠部材7が第1ケース部材5A(ケース5)に組み付けられた状態では、枠部材7の内周面が第1ケース部材5Aの外側規制部26に当接することで、枠部材7が第1ケース部材5A(ケース5)に対して左右方向に相対変位することが規制される(図3参照)。 The frame member 7 is assembled to the first case member 5A of the case 5 fixed to the wall surface (mounting surface) in this manner. More specifically, when the frame member 7 is pushed toward the first case member 5A from a state in which the back surface of the frame member 7 faces the front surface of the first case member 5A in the front-rear direction, the cover of the frame member 7 is pushed. The locking portion 54 is elastically deformed by being pushed by the locking portion 24 of the first case member 5A, and the locked portion 54 restored to its original shape by the elastic force is hooked on the locking portion 24 (see FIG. 3). As a result, the frame member 7 is assembled to the first case member 5A (case 5). When the frame member 7 is assembled to the first case member 5A (case 5), the screw member (not shown) inserted through the first through-hole portion 22B and the second through-hole portion 48 is covered by the frame member 7. will be Furthermore, when the frame member 7 is assembled to the first case member 5A (case 5), the inner peripheral surface of the frame member 7 abuts against the outer restricting portion 26 of the first case member 5A. The lateral displacement relative to the first case member 5A (case 5) is restricted (see FIG. 3).

このようにして、基板3を収容したケース5に枠部材7が組み付けられてなる構造体が完成し、この構造体が壁面に固定された状態となる。このようにケース5内に基板3が収容された状態では、図5に示すように、基板3の背面(裏面)がケース5の背面部40における表面(前面)と前後方向に対向し、背面部40の第1開口部42Eに嵌め込まれたシール部材8の前側に、第2開口部10の開口領域(具体的には、第2開口部10の内壁面の内側の空間)が位置する。より具体的には、図4、図5に示すように、孔部64の前方に第2開口部10の開口領域が位置する。換言すると、背面視(正面視)において、孔部64が、第2開口部10の開口領域内に納まるように配置される(図4参照)。また、接続部15は、基板3の前面において孔部64の下側の位置に配置される。庇部38は、孔部64よりも下方側且つ接続部15よりも上方側において接続部15の上方を覆うように配置される。具体的には、庇部38の真下に接続部15の少なくとも一部が位置しており、より詳しくは、庇部38の真下に接続部15の全体が位置し、接続部15は、平面視において全体が庇部38によって覆われる構成となっている。また、第2被取付部42の前端部は、庇部38の後端部よりも後方側に位置し、第2被取付部42の下端部は、庇部38の底面部38Aの上端部よりも上方側に位置する。これにより、第2被取付部42と庇部38の底面部38Aとの間には、電線部70が通過可能な隙間が形成されている。更に、第2被取付部42の外周部の前端部には面取り部42Gが形成されているので、第2被取付部42と庇部38の底面部38Aとの隙間が拡張されている。 In this way, a structure is completed in which the frame member 7 is attached to the case 5 containing the substrate 3, and the structure is fixed to the wall surface. When the substrate 3 is accommodated in the case 5 in this way, as shown in FIG. The opening area of the second opening 10 (specifically, the space inside the inner wall surface of the second opening 10) is located on the front side of the seal member 8 fitted in the first opening 42E of the portion 40. As shown in FIG. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the opening area of the second opening 10 is positioned in front of the hole 64 . In other words, in rear view (front view), the hole portion 64 is arranged so as to fit within the opening region of the second opening portion 10 (see FIG. 4). Also, the connection portion 15 is arranged at a position below the hole portion 64 on the front surface of the substrate 3 . The eaves portion 38 is arranged to cover the upper side of the connection portion 15 on the lower side than the hole portion 64 and the upper side of the connection portion 15 . Specifically, at least a portion of the connecting portion 15 is positioned directly below the eaves portion 38, and more specifically, the entire connecting portion 15 is positioned directly below the eaves portion 38, and the connecting portion 15 is located directly below the eaves portion 38. The whole is covered with the eaves portion 38 at the end. In addition, the front end of the second attached portion 42 is located rearward of the rear end of the eaves portion 38, and the lower end of the second attached portion 42 is positioned further back than the upper end of the bottom surface portion 38A of the eaves portion 38. is also located on the upper side. Thus, a gap is formed between the second attached portion 42 and the bottom surface portion 38A of the eaves portion 38, through which the electric wire portion 70 can pass. Furthermore, since a chamfered portion 42G is formed at the front end portion of the outer peripheral portion of the second attached portion 42, the gap between the second attached portion 42 and the bottom portion 38A of the eaves portion 38 is expanded.

手順が前後するが、第1ケース部材5Aと第2ケース部材5Bとが互いに連結される前の段階で、ハーネス部9がシール部材8及び基板3に対して以下のように取り付けられる。 Although the procedure may vary, before the first case member 5A and the second case member 5B are connected to each other, the harness portion 9 is attached to the seal member 8 and the substrate 3 as follows.

ハーネス部9は、シール部材8が第2ケース部材5Bに取り付けられる前、又は取り付けられた後に、自身の電線部70がケース5の外側から内側に通じる孔部64に挿し通されることで、シール部材8に取り付けられる。そして、ハーネス部9は、電線部70の一部が孔部64から第2開口部10内に入り込むように配置される。また、ハーネス部9の被接続部72は、接続部15に接続される。即ち、電線部70は、図5に示すように、第2開口部10内に入り込む第1電線部74と、第1電線部74と被接続部72との間に配置される第2電線部76とを具備する。 Before or after the sealing member 8 is attached to the second case member 5B, the harness portion 9 has its own electric wire portion 70 inserted through the hole portion 64 leading from the outside to the inside of the case 5. It is attached to the sealing member 8 . The harness portion 9 is arranged so that a portion of the electric wire portion 70 enters the second opening portion 10 through the hole portion 64 . Further, the connected portion 72 of the harness portion 9 is connected to the connecting portion 15 . That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the electric wire portion 70 includes a first electric wire portion 74 that enters the second opening 10 and a second electric wire portion that is arranged between the first electric wire portion 74 and the connected portion 72. 76.

更に、ハーネス部9は、第2開口部10を通じて基板3の後ろ側から前側に進入して上方から接続部15に接続されるのではなく、一旦第2開口部10内に入り込んだ後、第2被取付部42と庇部38の底面部38Aとの隙間を通って基板3の後方側に進入し、基板3の下側を迂回して基板3の前方側に回り込み、下方から接続部15に接続されるようになっている。即ち、第2電線部76は、後方側配置部78と、折り返し部80と、前方側配置部82とを含んでいる。 Further, the harness portion 9 does not enter from the rear side to the front side of the substrate 3 through the second opening 10 and is connected to the connection portion 15 from above, but once enters the second opening 10 and then enters the second opening 10 . 2. It enters the rear side of the substrate 3 through the gap between the mounting portion 42 and the bottom surface portion 38A of the eaves portion 38, bypasses the bottom side of the substrate 3, wraps around the front side of the substrate 3, and connects the connecting portion 15 from below. is intended to be connected to That is, the second electric wire portion 76 includes a rear side placement portion 78 , a folded portion 80 and a front side placement portion 82 .

後方側配置部78は、第1電線部74から続くとともに第2開口部10の下方側において基板3と背面部40との間を通るように配置される部分である。折り返し部80は、後方側配置部78から続くとともに基板3の下方側端部(凹部16が形成された部分においては凹部16の上縁部)の下側で折り返されるように配置される部分である。前方側配置部82は、折り返し部80から続くとともに基板3の前側において折り返し部80と被接続部72との間に配置される部分である。なお、折り返し部80は、凹部16内に入り込んでもよいし、凹部16に入り込まずに、凹部16の下方側を通過するようにしてもよい。図5の例では、折り返し部80の一部が凹部16内に入り込んでおり、ハーネス部9の下端が基板3の下端よりも上方に位置している。具体的には、ハーネス部9の下端(電線部70の下端)が上下方向において凹部16の下端と上端との間の範囲に位置し、凹部16が形成された基板3の下端部(下縁部)よりも上位置に配置されている。このような構成により、電線部70が下側に嵩張りすぎることを抑えつつ、電線部70の左右のずれを防いでいる。 The rear side arrangement portion 78 is a portion which continues from the first wire portion 74 and is arranged so as to pass between the substrate 3 and the rear portion 40 on the lower side of the second opening portion 10 . The folded portion 80 is a portion that continues from the rear side placement portion 78 and is arranged to be folded under the lower side end portion of the substrate 3 (the upper edge portion of the recessed portion 16 in the portion where the recessed portion 16 is formed). be. The front side arrangement portion 82 is a portion that continues from the folded portion 80 and is arranged between the folded portion 80 and the connected portion 72 on the front side of the substrate 3 . Note that the folded portion 80 may enter the recess 16 or may pass below the recess 16 without entering the recess 16 . In the example of FIG. 5 , part of the folded portion 80 enters the recess 16 , and the lower end of the harness portion 9 is located above the lower end of the substrate 3 . Specifically, the lower end of the harness portion 9 (the lower end of the electric wire portion 70) is positioned between the lower end and the upper end of the recess 16 in the vertical direction, and the lower end portion (lower edge of the substrate 3) on which the recess 16 is formed. part). Such a configuration prevents the electric wire portion 70 from being too bulky downward and prevents the electric wire portion 70 from shifting to the left or right.

この構成では、ハーネス部9の電線部70が、孔部64を通じてケース5内に入り込んだ後、下方に進入している。このため、仮にシール部材8と電線部70との間に存在する隙間を介してケース5内に水が浸入したとしても、電線部70を通って下方に流れやすい。しかも、電線部70は、第2開口部10内に入り込んだ後、第2被取付部42と庇部38の底面部38Aとの隙間を通って基板3の後方側に進入し、基板3の後方側から下方側に進入している。このため、ケース5内に浸入した水は、電線部70を伝って、基板3の後方側から下方側に流れやすくなっている。しかも、電線部70は、基板3の下方側で折り返して基板3の前方側に回り込み、上方側に進入している。このため、電線部70を伝って下方側に流れた水は、折り返し部80まで到達したところで滞留するか、折り返し部80から落下しやすくなっている。つまり、孔部64付近から電線部70を伝って流れようとする水が基板3の前面側に流れ込みにくくなるため、この水が基板3の前面に実装される部品に大きな影響を及ぼすことを防ぐことができる。 In this configuration, the wire portion 70 of the harness portion 9 enters the case 5 through the hole portion 64 and then enters downward. Therefore, even if water enters the case 5 through the gap between the seal member 8 and the electric wire portion 70 , it easily flows downward through the electric wire portion 70 . Moreover, after entering the second opening 10, the wire portion 70 enters the rear side of the substrate 3 through the gap between the second attached portion 42 and the bottom surface portion 38A of the eaves portion 38. It is entering from the rear side to the lower side. For this reason, water that has entered the case 5 easily flows along the electric wire portion 70 from the rear side of the substrate 3 to the lower side. Moreover, the electric wire portion 70 is folded back on the lower side of the substrate 3, wraps around the front side of the substrate 3, and enters the upper side. For this reason, the water that has flowed downward along the electric wire portion 70 tends to stay or fall from the folded portion 80 when it reaches the folded portion 80 . In other words, the water that tends to flow along the wire portion 70 from the vicinity of the hole portion 64 is less likely to flow into the front side of the substrate 3, thereby preventing the water from exerting a large influence on the components mounted on the front surface of the substrate 3. be able to.

更に、孔部64の下方側で且つ接続部15の上方側には、接続部15の上方を覆う庇部38が設けられている。この庇部38は、前面部20の背面から後方側に突出して、第2開口部10の開口領域内まで入り込んで、基板3の背面よりも後方側まで延びている。更に、庇部38の左端部は接続部15の左端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは接続部15の左端部よりも左方まで延びており、庇部38の右端部は接続部15の右端部と左右方向に揃っているか或いは接続部15の右端部よりも右方まで延びている。即ち、接続部15は、平面視において庇部38によって全体が覆われる。このため、万が一、何らかの理由によって接続部15の上方側から接続部15側へと水が流下又は落下したとしても、その水が接続部15にかかることを庇部38によって防ぐことができる。しかも、庇部38の上側には、底面部38A及び側面部38Bによって上方及び後方に開放した溝部38Cが構成されているので、庇部38の溝部38C内に落下した水は、溝部38Cの後端部から基板3の後方側に流れる。このため、庇部38の上面に落下した水が、基板3の前方側に零れることを防ぐことができる。 Furthermore, a canopy portion 38 that covers the upper side of the connecting portion 15 is provided below the hole portion 64 and above the connecting portion 15 . The eaves portion 38 protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the front surface portion 20 , enters the opening area of the second opening 10 , and extends rearward beyond the rear surface of the substrate 3 . Further, the left end portion of the eaves portion 38 is aligned with the left end portion of the connection portion 15 in the left-right direction or extends further to the left than the left end portion of the connection portion 15 , and the right end portion of the eaves portion 38 is the right end of the connection portion 15 . , or extends to the right of the right end of the connecting portion 15 . That is, the connecting portion 15 is entirely covered with the eaves portion 38 in plan view. Therefore, even if water flows down or falls from the upper side of the connection portion 15 to the side of the connection portion 15 for some reason, the eaves portion 38 can prevent the water from splashing on the connection portion 15 . Moreover, since the groove portion 38C opened upward and rearward by the bottom surface portion 38A and the side surface portion 38B is formed on the upper side of the eaves portion 38, the water falling into the groove portion 38C of the eaves portion 38 is It flows to the rear side of the board|substrate 3 from an edge part. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the water falling on the upper surface of the eaves portion 38 from spilling to the front side of the substrate 3 .

次に、本構成の効果を例示する。
本構成の浴室用リモコン1は、浴室に設置されるリモコンであって、基板3と、ケース5と、シール部材8と、ハーネス部9とを備える。ケース5は、基板3の背面と前後方向に対向する背面部40を有するとともに、背面部40において前後に貫通した第1開口部42Eが形成されてなる。シール部材8は、第1開口部42Eに嵌め込まれ、ケース5の外側から内側に通じる孔部64を有する。ハーネス部9は、孔部64に挿し通される1以上の電線部70を有し、一端側が基板3に電気的に接続される。基板3には、前後に貫通した第2開口部10が形成される。シール部材8の前側に第2開口部10の開口領域が位置し、電線部70の一部が孔部64から第2開口部10内に入り込むように配置される。
Next, the effect of this configuration will be illustrated.
A bathroom remote controller 1 having this configuration is a remote controller installed in a bathroom, and includes a substrate 3 , a case 5 , a seal member 8 and a harness portion 9 . The case 5 has a rear surface portion 40 that faces the rear surface of the substrate 3 in the front-rear direction, and a first opening 42E that penetrates the rear surface portion 40 in the front-rear direction. The seal member 8 is fitted into the first opening 42E and has a hole 64 leading from the outside to the inside of the case 5 . The harness portion 9 has one or more electric wire portions 70 inserted through the hole portions 64 and is electrically connected to the substrate 3 at one end side. A second opening 10 is formed through the substrate 3 in the front-rear direction. The opening area of the second opening 10 is located on the front side of the sealing member 8 , and a portion of the wire portion 70 is arranged to enter the second opening 10 from the hole 64 .

本構成の浴室用リモコン1は、前後に貫通した第1開口部42Eがケース5の背面部40に形成されており、第1開口部42Eにシール部材8が嵌め込まれる。シール部材8は、ケース5の外側から内側に通じるように貫通する孔部64を有しており、この孔部64にハーネス部9の電線部70が挿し通される。このように構成することで、ケース5の内外に跨るようにハーネス部9を配置し得る構成を、防水性を高めつつ実現できる。更に、基板3には、前後に貫通した第2開口部10が形成されており、シール部材8の前側に第2開口部10の開口領域が位置し、電線部70の一部が孔部64から第2開口部10に入り込むように配置される。このようにシール部材8の前側に開口領域が存在すれば、電線部70において孔部64から前方に延びる部位(孔部64近傍の部位)の一部又は全部を基板3と背面部40との間に挟み込ませることなく配置することができる。従って、この部位の一部又は全部を基板3と干渉させずに配置することができ、その分、基板3と背面部40とを近づけて配置することができる。ゆえに、装置全体の薄型化を図りやすくなる。しかも、上記部位(電線部70において孔部64から前方に延びる部位)の一部又は全部が基板3と背面部40との間に挟まれにくくなるため、当該部位の劣化や損傷を抑制することができる。 In the bathroom remote controller 1 having this configuration, a first opening 42E penetrating in the front and rear direction is formed in the rear surface portion 40 of the case 5, and the sealing member 8 is fitted in the first opening 42E. The seal member 8 has a hole portion 64 that penetrates from the outside to the inside of the case 5 , and the electric wire portion 70 of the harness portion 9 is inserted through the hole portion 64 . By configuring in this way, a configuration in which the harness portion 9 can be arranged so as to straddle the inside and outside of the case 5 can be realized while improving waterproofness. Further, the substrate 3 is formed with a second opening 10 penetrating in the front-rear direction. is arranged so as to enter the second opening 10 from the If the opening area exists on the front side of the sealing member 8 in this way, part or all of the portion of the electric wire portion 70 extending forward from the hole portion 64 (the portion near the hole portion 64 ) is formed between the substrate 3 and the rear portion 40 . It can be arranged without being sandwiched between them. Therefore, part or all of this portion can be arranged without interfering with the substrate 3, and the substrate 3 and the rear surface portion 40 can be arranged close to each other. Therefore, it becomes easier to reduce the thickness of the entire device. Moreover, part or all of the portion (the portion extending forward from the hole portion 64 in the electric wire portion 70) is less likely to be sandwiched between the substrate 3 and the rear surface portion 40, thereby suppressing deterioration and damage of the portion. can be done.

本構成の浴室用リモコン1は、基板3の前面に、ハーネス部9が接続される接続部15が設けられている。ハーネス部9は、接続部15に接続される被接続部72を有しており、この被接続部72は、電線部70の一端側に設けられている。このように、基板3上で嵩張る懸念のある接続部15及び被接続部72を基板3の前面側に配置した上で、第2開口部10及びこれに関連した上記特徴を採用すれば、基板3と背面部40とをより一層近づけて配置することができ、装置全体の薄型化をより一層図りやすくなる。 In the bathroom remote controller 1 having this configuration, a connecting portion 15 to which the harness portion 9 is connected is provided on the front surface of the substrate 3 . The harness portion 9 has a connected portion 72 connected to the connecting portion 15 , and the connected portion 72 is provided on one end side of the electric wire portion 70 . In this way, if the connecting portion 15 and the connected portion 72, which may be bulky on the substrate 3, are arranged on the front side of the substrate 3, and the second opening 10 and the above-described features related thereto are employed, the substrate 3 and the rear portion 40 can be arranged closer to each other, making it easier to reduce the thickness of the entire device.

本構成の浴室用リモコン1は、基板3の前面において孔部64の下側の位置に接続部15が設けられていてもよい。電線部70は、被接続部72から下方に延びるとともに基板3の下方側端部の下側で折り返され、基板3と背面部40との間において基板3の下方側端部の下側から第2開口部10側に延びて一部が第2開口部10に入り込むように配置されている。
この構成では、仮にシール部材8と電線部70との間に存在する隙間を介してケース5内に水が浸入し、その水は、基板3の裏面側(基板3と背面部40との間)を通るように電線部70を伝って流れやすく、その後、電線部70が折り返された部分(基板3の下方側端部の下側)の付近から落下しやすくなる。つまり、孔部64付近から電線部70を伝って流れようとする水が基板3の前面側に流れ込みにくくなるため、この水が基板3の前面に実装される部品に大きな影響を及ぼすことを防ぐことができる。
The bathroom remote control 1 having this configuration may be provided with the connecting portion 15 at a position below the hole portion 64 on the front surface of the substrate 3 . The electric wire portion 70 extends downward from the connected portion 72 and is folded back below the lower end portion of the substrate 3 , and extends from below the lower end portion of the substrate 3 between the substrate 3 and the back surface portion 40 to the second end. It is arranged so as to extend toward the second opening 10 and partially enter the second opening 10 .
In this configuration, if water enters the case 5 through the gap that exists between the sealing member 8 and the electric wire portion 70, the water will flow into the case 5 on the back side of the substrate 3 (between the substrate 3 and the back portion 40). ), and then easily fall from the vicinity of the portion where the wire portion 70 is folded back (below the lower end of the substrate 3). In other words, the water that tends to flow along the wire portion 70 from the vicinity of the hole portion 64 is less likely to flow into the front side of the substrate 3, thereby preventing the water from exerting a large influence on the components mounted on the front surface of the substrate 3. be able to.
