Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a panel mounting device for a box for electronic equipment.

(Prior art) Conventional panel mounting devices for electronic equipment boxes have been designed to widen the mounting area of the panel for equipment, prevent mounting screws from being exposed on the panel surface, and enhance the quality of the product. As shown in the figure, a square-shaped frame B made of synthetic resin, aluminum die-casting, etc. is fitted around the opening of the box main body A, which has an open front, and a panel is formed around the opening of the box main body A and the frame B. There is something that holds C.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional case, the frame B was formed into a square shape using synthetic resin, aluminum die-casting, etc. There was a problem in that a mold had to be made to mold the frame B, which was expensive.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and consists of a box main body with an open front and an extruded metal material with a holding part formed over the entire length. , bent into a substantially U-shape with the holding part facing inside, and held by fitting the ends into the upper and lower frames attached around the opening of the box main body and the holding parts of the upper and lower frames,
The present invention is characterized by comprising a panel that covers the opening of the main body of the box.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Reference numeral 1 denotes a box main body with front and rear openings, and the box main body 1 is composed of a body 2 bent into a substantially U-shaped cross section and a cover 3 bent into a U-shaped cross section. 4 and 5 are the box main body 1
The upper and lower frames are attached and fixed to the body 2 and the cover 3 with screws 6 around the front and rear openings of the upper and lower frames, and the upper and lower frames 4 and 5 form a groove 7 that is a holding part over the entire length on the inner surface. It is formed by cutting an extruded aluminum material into a predetermined length and then bending it into a substantially U-shape. Incidentally, the upper frame 4 and the lower frame 5 use the same parts. 8
is a panel on which instruments such as operating switches and meters are mounted; the panel 8 is held by being fitted around the grooves 7 of the upper and lower frames 4 and 5;
It covers the opening of the box main body 1.

Next, the assembling method of the above embodiment will be explained. The lower frame 5 is attached to the lower part of the opening of the box main body 1 with the screws 6 so that the opening periphery is on the inside. The upper frame 4 is fitted with its groove 7 around the upper half of the panel 8 so that the periphery of the opening of the box main body 1 is on the inside, and is attached to the box main body 1 with screws 6.

Another embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 4 and 5. A mounting bracket 10 is attached to a connecting member 9 connecting the body 2 and cover 3 with screws 11, and a lower frame 5 is attached to the mounting bracket 10. After attaching with screws not shown, the panel 8 is fitted into the lower frame 5, the upper frame 4 is fitted into the panel 8, and attached to the mounting bracket 10 with screws not shown. Thereafter, the body 2 is screwed to the lower frame 5 with screws 12 so as to be located outside of the lower frame 5, and the cover 3 is attached to the upper frame 4 with screws 12 so as to be located outside of the upper frame 5. Note that the screw 13 screwed into the piece 13 of the mounting bracket 10 that corresponds to the panel 8 has its tip connected to the panel 8.
This is to securely hold the panel 8 by pressing it against the surface.

(Function) As described above, according to the present invention, the upper and lower frames 4 and 5 attached around the opening of the box main body 1 are made by cutting the metal extrusion material with the holding part 7 formed on the inner surface, and forming the upper and lower frames into a substantially U-shape. Since it is formed by bending, it is possible to easily and inexpensively form frames of various dimensions by making one type of frame mold and changing the cutting and bending positions. The upper frame 4 and the lower frame 5 can be used together.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, one type of frame mold is manufactured, cut and The frame can be formed easily and inexpensively by simply changing the bending position, and the lower frame and the upper frame can be used in combination as needed.
