Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of an electronic device that is mounted on, for example, an automobile for use.

Conventionally, there are various mounting structures for automobile wireless communication equipment, etc., and FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a typical mounting structure. That is, this electronic device mounting structure consists of a device mounting body 1 that is mounted using screws under the dash board of an automobile, and an electronic device 2 that is engaged with and fixed to this mounting body 1. 1 is formed in a U-shape and has a mounting hole 3 in its upper plate 1a, an engagement groove 4 for engaging an electronic device 2 in both side plates 1b, and a support piece 5 raised outward from the front end of the side plate. It is. This support piece 5 has a screw hole 6 formed therein. On the other hand, the electronic device 2 is equipped with a protrusion 7 that engages with the engagement groove 4 and a supported piece 9 that fixes the device 2 to the support piece 5 by inserting a screw 8 into the side thereof. . 10 is a control panel of the device 2.

However, since the electronic device mounting structure described above has the protrusion 7 and the supported piece 9 protruding from the side of the electronic device 2, the electronic device 2 is made to stand on its own by using the side of the electronic device 2. It is difficult to do so. For this reason, work such as assembling the equipment housing, assembling parts, and maintaining the equipment is extremely troublesome, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency. In addition, when the electronic device 2 is used as a portable device without being attached to a car, the protrusion 7
There is a problem that the supported piece 9 not only becomes a hindrance but also spoils the appearance of the device 2.

Another conventional mounting structure for electronic devices is to make the device mountable to be inserted into and removed from it in a pull-out manner, and to have an elastic member, etc. on the inner wall of the top plate of the device mount, in order to improve the appearance of the electronic device. There is a structure in which the supported piece 9 shown in FIG. 1 is removed by pressing and fixing the device with this elastic member.

However, this mounting structure requires many members, is structurally complex, is expensive, and has drawbacks such as reducing the degree of freedom when automatically mounting the mounting body.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to eliminate protruding members from electronic equipment so that it can be attached to the equipment mounting body, thereby providing a simple structure, high workability, and an excellent appearance. The present invention provides a mounting structure for electronic equipment.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. Figure 2 shows the appearance of the equipment mount, Figure 3 shows the appearance of the slider, Figure 4 shows the appearance of the electronic equipment, and Figure 5 shows a side view of the electronic equipment housed in the equipment mount. .

into the screw hole 15 of the support piece 14.
Screw in until it slightly engages. However, mounting body 1
It is of course possible to attach the slider 16 in advance before attaching the slider 1 under the dash board or the like.

Therefore, after setting as above, electronic device 2
The rear end of the bottom of the slider 16 is placed on the holding part 19 of the slider 16, and in this state, the device 21 is pushed in. In this way, the electronic device 21 is set at a fixed position on the device mounting body 11. Once the electronic device 21 is set at the normal position, the insertion hole 2 of the slider 16 is opened as shown in FIG.
Screw in the screw 26 that has been inserted into the hole. As a result, the presser part 19 of the slider 16 is attached to the support piece 14.
The electronic device 21 is moved in the direction of lifting while being restricted by the inclination angle of . Therefore, when the screw 26 is inserted by a predetermined distance, the electronic device 21 is attached to the upper plate 11a of the device mounting body 11 and the holding portion 19 of the slider 16.
is securely fixed.

Therefore, although the above-described mounting structure for electronic equipment requires the slider 16, the slider 16 can be formed by bending a single plate material or can be integrally molded. Since the mounting body 11 and the electronic device 21 have a simple form, the overall configuration is extremely simple. Moreover, the slider 16 is attached to the device mounting body 11 in advance.
Since the electronic device 21 is attached to the holding part 19, it is only necessary to simply place the electronic device 21 on the holding part 19, push it in, and then tighten the screws 26, making the work of attaching the device 21 easy. In addition, since there are no protruding members on the main body 22 of the electronic device 21, the sides of the electronic device 21 can be made independent, allowing for assembly work of the electronic device 21, work of assembling electronic components, and even maintenance work. can be done relatively easily. Furthermore, the appearance of the electronic device 21 is not impaired and it can be used as a portable device.
