Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a device for switching a slide switch fixed to a circuit board.

(b) Prior Art As a device for adjusting or operating electronic components fixed on a board provided in a cabinet from outside the cabinet, there is a rotation adjuster such as a volume, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-47010, for example. A synthetic resin joint is used for this operation, and is fitted onto the adjustment shaft of the rotation adjuster, allowing adjustment and operation to be performed from outside the cabinet. In addition, in the case of a sliding adjuster such as a slide switch described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-3464, which is different from a rotation adjuster, as shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, , a board 1 is provided in a cabinet 2, and is fitted into the operation part 4 of a slide switch 3 fixed to the board 1,
The joint 5, which partially exposes outside the cabinet 2, does not contact the cabinet 2 or the panel board 6 and is oriented in the F direction.
The slide switch 3 can be freely moved in the F direction.
It is now possible to operate the

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention Although the above-mentioned device is effective when the cabinet and the board are located close to each other, it is difficult to use the device when the cabinet and the board are placed close to each other due to the structure of the electrical equipment. If it is used in cases where it is not possible to install the joint, the joint may tilt when the joint is moved and the slide switch operation part may not move, or the switching operation may cause problems such as play between the joint and the slide switch operation part. There was a problem that a fitted state occurred. The present invention solves such problems and provides a slide switch switching device that allows smooth switching of the slide switch even when the cabinet and the board cannot be installed close to each other.

(d) Means for Solving Problems The slide switch switching device of the present invention includes a cabinet provided with a long hole and a guide rib along the long hole, and an operating section attached to a board provided in the cabinet. a joint that fits into the operating portion of the slide switch and protrudes from the elongated hole of the cabinet to perform a switching operation of the slide switch; It consists of a guide plate that slides along the cabinet, and a panel plate that holds the guide plate together with the cabinet.

(E) Function This invention is attached to the operation part of a slide switch fixed to a board, and a guide plate provided on a part of a joint that moves the operation part is aligned with a guide rib provided on a cabinet, and the cabinet and panel board are connected to each other. The slide switch is held in place, and the slide switch is operated by using the joint.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the slide switch switching device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a printed circuit board on which electronic parts and the like are mounted and fixed, and reference numeral 11 includes an operating section 12 which is mounted on the printed circuit board 10 and is operated when performing a switching operation with a fixed slide switch. . 13 includes the printed circuit board 10 inside;
The cabinet forms the shape of an electrical appliance, and a rectangular long hole 14 is provided in the part facing the slide switch 11 provided on the printed circuit board 10 so that the slide switch 11 can be switched by external operation. In addition, in order to form guide portions 15 on the left and right sides of the long hole 14, linear guide ribs 16 are provided integrally and parallel to the left and right sides of the long hole 14. 17 is
Pass through the elongated hole 14 of the cabinet 13 with a joint,
A fitting part 18 having a length to fit into the operating part 12 of the slide switch 11 fixed to the printed circuit board 10, and a linear guide rib 1 that comes into contact with the guide part 15 formed on the cabinet 13.
a guide plate 19 having a shape that is in contact with the guide rib 16 and has approximately the same height as the guide rib 16;
Knob part 2 that protrudes more and allows operation from the outside
It is closer to 0. Reference numeral 21 denotes a panel plate for holding the guide plate 19 of the joint 17 together with the cabinet 13 having the guide portion 15 and for making the appearance of the electrical equipment look good.
A hole 22 corresponding to the long hole 14 is provided in a portion facing the long hole 14 . In this embodiment, the guide plate 19 as shown in FIG. 1 is used, but the shape is not limited to this.

Using the slide switch switching device constructed as described above, the slide switch 11 provided on the board 10 inside the cabinet 13 is operated from outside the cabinet 13. First, when the knob 20 of the joint 17 exposed from the panel plate 21 attached to the cabinet 13 is moved in the C direction, the joint 17 moves in the long hole 14 and the hole 22 in the C direction. At this time, the guide plate 19 slides on the guide portion 15 along the guide ribs 16. At the same time, the fitting part 18 of the joint 17 moves the operating part 12 of the slide switch 11 to perform a switching operation of the slide switch 11. Conversely, even if the knob 20 of the joint 17 is moved in the C direction, the operating section 12 of the slide switch 11 is switched in response to the operation of the knob 20 of the joint 17. The slide switch switching device in this embodiment has a guide plate 19 provided on a joint 17.
The guide part 15 of the cabinet 13 and the panel board 2
1 and moved along the guide ribs 16, when the knob 20 of the joint 17 is moved in the horizontal direction, the fitting part 18 fitted to the operating part 12 of the slide switch 11 also moves in the horizontal direction. It has a structure that always moves. Furthermore, since the guide plate 19 is pressed from above by the panel plate 21, the fitting part 18 of the joint 17 comes off from the operating part 12 of the slide switch 11 when the knob part 20 of the joint 17 is operated. The joint 17 itself is prevented from being removed from the operation part 12 of the slide switch 11, and the knob part 20 of the joint 17 is used from outside the cabinet 13 to facilitate switching operation.

(g) Effects of the invention The switch switching device of the invention includes a guide plate attached to a joint that has a knob part that projects outward from a long hole formed in the cabinet and a fitting part that fits into the operating part of the slide switch. The guide plate is sandwiched between the cabinet and a panel plate that decorates the cabinet, and the guide plate is slidably provided by the panel plate, the guide portion, and the guide rib, so that the vertical direction and sliding movement of the joint is prevented. It has the advantage that there is no backlash in the direction perpendicular to the direction, and that an excellent operating feeling can be obtained when switching the slide switch.

In addition, since the sliding movement of the joint is guided by the guide ribs and guide portions formed on the cabinet and the panel plate, the guide plate of the joint can be held by using the panel plate that decorates the cabinet. As a result, the joint can be attached by fixing the panel plate to the cabinet, and the present invention has the advantage that the assembly operation can be easily performed.
