Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a cover structure for a control panel that covers an operating section of the control panel.

(Prior Art) Generally, it is desired that a control panel for controlling a painting robot or the like be as simple as possible to prevent on-site workers from making mistakes. In particular, customers have requested that the seat key part, which is a management operation part provided on the control panel surface, be hidden with a cover. etc. is covered.

By the way, the above-mentioned plastic cover etc. is usually held so that it can slide horizontally with respect to the control panel surface, and when opening the plastic cover etc. horizontally, the housing structure that houses the plastic cover etc. is opened. A special control panel had to be installed in the direction of movement of the plastic cover.
For this reason, the control panel had to become larger in the horizontal direction, and was subject to restrictions in terms of installation space.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a cover structure for a control panel that is not subject to horizontal installation space constraints.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a recess is formed in the upper surface of the frame of the control panel that houses the control equipment therein, and a controlled object is controlled within the recess. In the cover structure of a control panel in which an operation part is disposed and an opening/closing lid is provided in the recess so as to cover the inside of the recess, the opening/closing lid is disposed at an inner end of the recess with its axis oriented horizontally, and the opening/closing lid is disposed at an inner end of the recess. a shaft on which is placed; an opening formed in the frame along the shaft and cooperating with the shaft to guide the opening/closing lid so as to be freely retractable; and an opening formed in the frame; an accommodation space for accommodating the opening/closing lid in a substantially upright state, which is retracted from the opening; and a storage space provided at the upper part of the opening/closing lid so that when the opening/closing lid is accommodated in the housing space, the opening/closing lid comes into contact with the periphery of the opening. It is characterized by comprising: a handle for holding the opening/closing lid;

According to the above configuration, when opening the opening/closing lid,
Gradually increase the inclination angle of the opening/closing lid while lifting the handle and sliding the opening/closing lid on the axis.
The opening/closing lid is accommodated in the housing space of the frame through the opening, and the handle comes into contact with the periphery of the opening, so that the opening/closing lid is housed in an upright state. Therefore, the control panel is no longer subject to horizontal installation space restrictions.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a control panel, to which a robot 2 as a controlled object is electrically connected. The control panel 1 is provided with a sheet key section 3 as an operation section, and the seat key section 3 performs input to the control mechanism in the control panel 1, and the robot 2 controls the control panel 1 according to the input.
Controlled by a control mechanism within. When this sheet key section 3 is not operated,
It is covered by an opening/closing lid 4, the specific structure of which will be explained based on FIGS. 3 and 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a frame forming the control panel 1, and a rectangular recess 7 is formed in the upper end surface 6 of the frame 5.
This recess 7 has a stepped portion 8 on one end side (right side in FIG. 4), and an opening 9 described later is formed on the other end side (left side in FIG. 4) of the recess 7. A rectangular hole 11 is formed in the bottom 10 of the recess 7. The bottom part 10 has the seat key part 3
is fixed, and the seat key part 3 is inserted into the hole 11.
It is facing outward from.

A shaft 13 is attached to the other end of the recess 7 so as to face the stepped portion 8, and the shaft 13 and the stepped portion 8 are connected to each other.
An opening/closing lid 4 is placed thereon. This opening/closing lid 4
has a rectangular shape corresponding to the recess 7, and has one end side (the third
A handle 15 is provided on the right side in FIG.
Both ends of the opening/closing lid 4 are bent downward in FIG. 4.

A housing space 16 is formed in the frame 1 on its side. The storage space 16 includes the opening/closing lid 4
A portion of the lower end surface 17 of the frame body 5 forming the storage space 16 is open so that the opening/closing lid 4 can be accommodated in a substantially upright position.

The opening 9 is located between the accommodation space 16 and the inside of the recess 7, and even when the opening/closing lid 4 has a certain degree of inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction, the opening 9 The opening/closing lid 4 is formed to be able to slide on a shaft 13 toward the accommodation space 16. When the opening/closing lid 4 is housed in the storage space 16, in the case of this embodiment, the opening/closing lid 4 comes into contact with the opening 9, and the handle 15 comes into contact with the upper end surface 14 of the frame 5, so that the opening/closing lid 4 comes into contact with the opening 9 and the handle 15 comes into contact with the upper end surface 14 of the frame 5. The lid 14 is held by the frame 5 (see the imaginary line in FIG. 4).

Next, the handling of the cover structure of the control panel having the above configuration will be explained.

When the seat key part 3 is not operated, it is sufficient to close it with the opening/closing lid 4, as shown by the solid line in FIG.

In order to operate the seat key part 3, first, grasp the handle 15 of the opening/closing lid 4 with your hand, and lift the handle 15 side of the opening/closing lid 4. When the opening/closing lid 4 is tilted at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the horizontal direction, the opening/closing lid 4 is slid on the shaft 13 toward the accommodation space 16. At this time, as the opening/closing lid 4 is slid, the left end of the opening/closing lid 4 in FIG. The inclination angle can be increased. As a result, the opening/closing lid 4 is shown in FIG.
As shown by the imaginary line, it fits in the accommodation space 16 in a substantially upright state. At this time, the handle 15 comes into contact with the upper end surface 6 of the frame 5 as a stopper, and the weight of the opening/closing lid 4 restricts downward displacement of the opening/closing lid 4. The upper end surface 14 of the lid 4 comes into contact with the lid 4, and the displacement of the opening/closing lid 4 to the left in FIG. 4 is restricted.

This means that the opening/closing lid 4 has been opened.
The sheet key section 3 can be operated. After the operation of the seat key part 3 is completed, hold the handle 15 with your hand and pull the opening/closing lid 4 upward along the shaft 13 while tilting it clockwise in FIG. 4, and the seat key part 3 is closed. will be done.

Although one embodiment has been described above, the present invention also includes the following cases.

The shaft 13 may be rotatably supported by the frame 5. Thereby, the opening/closing lid 4 can be slid smoothly.

A cushioning material such as rubber may be attached to the entire handle 15 or to the inner surface of the handle 15.

Attach the handle 15 to the opening/closing lid 4 with a slight spacing between the handles 15 and 2.
One may be provided. With this configuration, when the opening/closing lid 4 is opened, if the handle on the right end side in FIG. It disappears.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above, the present invention provides a cover structure for a control panel that is simple and does not require any special housing structure and is not subject to horizontal installation space constraints. Can be provided.

In addition, when the opening/closing lid is stored in the storage space, it can be moved smoothly by sliding on the axis, and furthermore, when the opening/closing lid is stored, the handle also functions to hold the opening/closing lid in an upright position. There is no need to provide a separate mechanism for holding the opening/closing lid, and the structure is simplified.
