Abstract

PURPOSE:To differentiate switches and others arranged inside a first lid corresponding to their functions so as to improve the operability by a method wherein a second lid where buttons having functions of a part or the whole of the switches are provided in one piece is provided inside the first lid which covers the switches of an equipment. CONSTITUTION:Switches 8a-8c and an input-output terminal 9 are arranged on a cabinet 5 inside a first lid 6, and the switches 8a and 8c are positioned inside a second lid 7. The first lid 6 is opened to operate the switches 8a and 8b and the input-output terminal 9. At this time, the switches 8a are operated through the intermediary of buttons 7a provided on the second lid 7 in one piece. And, further the second lid 7 is opened for operating the switches 8c. By these processes, switches inside the lid 6 can be differentiated corresponding to their functions, the operability can be improved by arranging the operating face of the switches 8a used frequently at the front, and moreover erroneous operations can be prevented by arranging the operating face of the switches 8c used rarely inside double lids.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a door device used in equipment having a door covering switches and the like.

Conventional technology In recent years, remote control transmitters have become increasingly popular for home appliances, etc.
Along with this, the switches on the main body of the device are also being housed inside the door due to design considerations.

Hereinafter, a conventional door device will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a conventional door device. Third
In the figure, 1 is an equipment cabinet, 2 is a door that can be opened and closed (rotated) with respect to this cabinet 1, 3 is a switch installed inside door 2, and 4 is an entrance installed also inside door 2. It is an output terminal.

This improves the design appearance by closing door 2 when switches 3 or input/output terminals 4 are not used, and by opening door 2 when using switches 3 or input/output terminals 4. This is a door device designed to

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above structure, there is a problem in that the switches 3 are disposed deep inside the door due to dimensional restrictions of the input/output terminals 4, and the operability of the switches is poor. Also,
There was a problem in that it was difficult to differentiate the operability according to the functions of the switches 3.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a door device in which the operability of switches is improved and the switches can be differentiated according to their functions.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the door device of the present invention includes a button that can operate some or all of the switches in the first door that covers the switches of the device. The feature is that a second door is installed.

Function: With this configuration, the button provided inside the first door - the second button on the body
With this door, the operating surfaces of frequently operated switches can be placed in the front, and by arranging the operating surfaces of less frequently operated switches inside the double door, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation.

Furthermore, when using the input/output terminals, the Fushizuku 4 switches are placed inside the double doors, which improves the appearance in terms of design.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 1b are perspective views showing mutually different states of a door device in an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 5 is an equipment cabinet, 6 is a first door installed in the cabinet 5 so that it can be opened and closed (rotatably), and 7 is rotatably installed inside the first door 6. 7a is a button integrated into the second door 7, 8m is a switch that is frequently used, 8b is a switch that is used next to 8a, and 8G is a button that is used frequently. 9 is the input/output terminal. These switches msa, sb, 8c and input/output terminal 9 are all arranged on the cabinet 5 inside the first door 6, and among the switches 8a, 8C
is located inside the second door 7.

How to use the door device configured as described above will be explained below.

Switch, type 8m, 8b, 8a or input/output terminal 9
By closing the first door 6 when not in use, the design appearance can be improved. Switches 8
-18b or when using the input/output terminal 9, open the first door 6 as shown in FIG. At this time, the switches 8- are operated via a button 7m provided integrally on the second door 7. In this state, the switch $8C is hidden by the second door 7, so that the design appearance can be improved. When using the switches 8G, the second door 7 is further opened as shown in FIG. 1. Note that when closing the second door 7 and the first door 6, they may be closed individually, but the first door 6
If the second hood door 7 is also closed at the same time, the operability will be further improved.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the switches 8a--
A part of the switches 8a is inside the first door 6 that covers the switch 80.
By providing the second door 7 with an integrated button 7a that can be operated, the switches inside the door 6 can be differentiated according to their functions, and the operating surface of the frequently used switches 8a is placed on the front. By doing so, the operability can be improved, and furthermore, by arranging the operation surface of the switches 8c, which are infrequently used, inside the double door, erroneous operation can be prevented. Furthermore, when the input/output terminal 9 is used, the less frequently used switches 8C are arranged inside the double door, which improves the appearance in terms of design.

In the above embodiment, some of the switches are covered by the second door 7, but all the switches may be covered by the second door.

For frequently used devices, a button may be integrally provided on the second door 7 and the device may be operated through this button.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a second door is provided in the first door that covers the switches of the device, in which a button that can operate some or all of the switches is integrated. As a result, the switches in the first door can be differentiated according to their functions, and operability can be improved by placing the operation surfaces of frequently used switches on the front side using the buttons, Switches that are used infrequently can be prevented from being operated erroneously by locating their operating surfaces within the second door.
