FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the main parts of a conventional dial device, in which 3 is a control member such as a timer, 4 is an operating shaft thereof, and an operating knob 1 is provided at the tip thereof. Further, the control member 3 and the operation panel 2 are directly attached to the same member, such as an oven front plate, which is a part of the main body, using attachment screws 5, 6, etc. In such an example, the control member 3 and the hole into which the knob 1 of the operation panel 2 is inserted are less likely to be misaligned (as they are attached to the same member), and
It is easy to regulate it within a predetermined level, and there was no need for it as in the present invention.

In this example, in order to push and turn in the direction of arrow A as described above, there is a gap G in advance between the operation panel 2 and the operation knob 1, which is the sum of the predetermined stroke S in the pushing direction and the required gap G1 after pushing. This creates a distance from the operation panel 2, which creates a parallax between the printed display showing the operation status of the operation knob 1 provided on the operation panel 2, making it difficult to see, and making it difficult to see the operation panel 2. , because the mounting position of the gas cock 8 etc. which is an operating member is greatly different, and especially in the case of the gas cock 8 etc., the gas cock 8 is fixed to the gas pipe 9, and the gas pipe 9 is fixed to the main body via the mounting position 10 etc. etc., the center of the operation panel 2 and the operation axis is likely to be misaligned, and this also causes misalignment between the operation knob 1 and the printed display, which, together with the parallax, causes a very It was difficult to see and difficult to use.

FIG. 4 shows a conventional example in which the parallax is attempted to be reduced by eliminating the gap G between the operating knob 1 and the operating panel 2 in FIG.

In other words, the parallax is reduced by sinking the operating knob 1 into the operating panel 2 and reducing the step S2 between the operating panel 2 and the operating knob 1.

However, even in this case, the above-mentioned center deviation is similarly large, and a gap G 2 corresponding to the center deviation is required between the center and the hollow hole of the operation panel 2.
Since G 2 was added, it did not lead to any major improvement. In addition, the structure inside the aircraft can be seen as a gap from this gap G2 , and because a uniform gap cannot be obtained due to the center deviation, it is not easy to use, and it is unsightly in terms of appearance. It was hot.

The above configuration is also a conventional example (not described), but in this embodiment, in the above configuration, ribs are provided at four locations on the dial ring 11, and ribs are provided at four locations on the dial ring 11 of the operation panel 2. In addition, a notch portion B that engages with the rib is provided, a gap corresponding to the center deviation of the operating shaft 4 is provided around the entire circumference of the rib including the engaging portion, and a printed display indicating the operating status of the operating knob 1 is provided. This is provided on the flange surface of the dial ring 11 to absorb the misalignment of the operating shaft between the dial ring 11 and the dial ring insertion hole of the operating panel 2, and to prevent the dial ring 11 and the operating knob 1 from being coaxial. This not only improves the appearance, but also eliminates unnecessary steps and gaps in the appearance, reduces parallax, improves usability, and eliminates the need for more precision, resulting in improved productivity. This also leads to cost reduction.

The details of the above configuration will be further explained below. In Fig. 6, the dial ring of the operation panel 2 is provided with a gap l1 around the entire circumference between the insertion hole D and the dial ring 11, and four notches L formed in the insertion hole D and Place it between the rib part A provided on the matching dial ring 11,
A gap l1 is provided in both the lateral direction. The gap l1 is equivalent to the allowable center deviation between the operation panel 2 and the operation shaft 4. For this reason, the operation shaft 4 absorbs center deviation within the allowable range l 1 not only in the directions of arrows B and C with respect to the center of the operation panel 2, but also in all angular directions (direction of arrow D). Since the dial ring 11 and the operation knob 1 are always in the same center state, there may be problems such as those caused by operating the knob 1 in the rotation direction and axial direction (for gas knobs etc., pushing and turning is common). Moreover, by printing the dial ring 11 on the flange surface C as described above, the positional relationship with the operating knob 1 can be maintained at all times.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides rotation-stopping notches and ribs at four locations between the dial ring and the operation panel, with gaps corresponding to the allowable center deviation of the operation shaft, and a status display is printed on the dial ring's brim. With this extremely simple configuration, it is possible to always maintain the same center as the dial ring, which is the display part.Although there is a limit to the permissible center deviation mentioned above, it can be set arbitrarily, so there is no need for more precision than necessary. This also leads to improved production and reduced costs.

In addition, there are no unnecessary steps or variations in the gap caused by misalignment of the center, and the gap between the knob and dial ring can always be maintained almost uniform all the way around, so there is little parallax, making it easy to use and design. It has the effect of improving the appearance including the surface.
