Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a panel opening/closing device for an operator console such as an electronic device having a gently sloped panel surface.

Conventionally, the operation panel of this type of console has been opened and closed by grasping handles, knobs, or the heads of decorative screws provided on the panel with the hands due to the necessity of assembly, inspection, maintenance, etc. was. All opening/closing operation parts of such conventional opening/closing devices are provided on the panel surface, so they are easy to open and close, but on the other hand, they are easily opened/closed carelessly by someone other than the dedicated operator, leading to damage to the internal functions of the console and accidents. There is a drawback that the protrusions such as the cosmetic screw knob obstruct operation, and the design is also highly restricted, which is not desirable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a panel opening/closing device for an operator console that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and facilitates operation by providing the opening/closing device at the bottom of the panel.

The operating console panel opening/closing device of the present invention includes first and second support portions each made of a cylindrical pin and fixed separately above and below the lower portion of the operating console panel;
It has an elongated support hole in which the central part is supported and slides on the support part, has a connecting hole at one end, and has a sliding end at the other end that slides and supports an inclined operation panel surface and pushes up this panel surface. A movable piece having a dogleg shape, a connecting hole connected to the connecting hole of the movable piece at one end, a support hole in the center that rotates while being supported by the second support part, and a drive that is rotationally driven. The device includes a supporting piece having one end provided at the other end, and a connecting means for movably connecting the connecting holes of the supporting piece and the movable piece.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an external appearance of an operating console according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention used in section A of the operating console shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, this opening/closing device includes a movable piece 3 having a roller 1 at one end, a long hole 2 at the center, and a connecting hole at the other end, a square hole 4 at one end, a support hole at the center, and a movable piece 3 at the other end. The connecting holes of these pieces are rotatably connected by a free pin 6 of the connecting means, and the supporting piece 5 passes through a slit 8 provided in the table body 7. The elongated hole 2 and support hole of each piece are rotatably incorporated into the first and second support portions of the table body consisting of pins 9a and 9b, thereby constructing an opening/closing device that performs lever movement with limited movement. .

The opening operation of the panel surface 10 of the operation console is performed by pulling the end of the support piece 5 provided with the square hole 4 toward you (in the direction of the arrow), so that the support piece 5 rotates about the pin 9b as a fulcrum.
Furthermore, in conjunction with this, the movable piece 3 rotates while sliding in the elongated hole 2 with the pin 9a as a fulcrum. Therefore, the roller 1 of the movable piece 3 pushes up while sliding on the board surface 10, and immediately after this roller 1 reaches the highest position, the support piece 5
is restricted by the slit 8 of the table body 7, and the rotational movement is stopped. When the board is pushed up like this,
This board can be opened by lifting it by hand. Further, the closing operation of the board 10 is the opposite operation to the above.

In order to reduce the external protrusion of the support piece 5, an auxiliary tool 11 (see FIG. 3) having a protrusion that can be engaged with and connected to the square hole 4 of the support piece 5 may be prepared. Such a short support piece can meet both requirements of eliminating accidental opening/closing and facilitating opening/closing.
