Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a side panel of an audio device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In recent years, in audio equipment, a method of attaching a side panel to a side surface of a housing has been widely adopted in order to enhance a sense of design value. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the conventional side panel mounting structure is such that the side panel is fastened together with the housing by fixing screws.

An example of a side panel of the above-mentioned conventional audio equipment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show side panels of conventional audio equipment. In FIG. 5, 5 is a fixing screw, 6 is an audio device, 7 is a conventional housing, 7a is a concave throttle portion for sinking the screw head of the fixing screw, 8 is a conventional right side panel, and 8a is a fixed part. The counterbore and holes for attaching the screws are shown. The side panel 8 is attached to the side surface of the audio device 6 with a fixing screw 5 on a chassis (not shown) through the spot facing, the hole 8a and the recessed portion 7a of the housing. ..

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the side panel of the conventional audio equipment as described above is fastened together with the housing with the fixing screw, so the side panel must be attached to the audio equipment before shipment. It was

Further, in recent years, audio equipment has been downsized, and a sales point called layout free is regarded as important. According to the conventional example, as shown in FIG. When the equipment is placed horizontally in two stages, the left side panel 8'and the right side panel 8 are overlapped between the left side audio equipment 6'and the right side audio equipment 6, and it looks thick and there is a design problem. It was At this time, the side panels 8 and 8'can be removed by removing the fixing screw 5, but removing the fixing screw 5 means that the housing 7 is also removed because it is fastened together. There was a risk that the inside would be exposed and the general user could get an electric shock by touching the live part, which is not recommended as a manufacturer.

As described above, the conventional example has many problems such as an increase in the number of assembling steps, a design defect, and safety.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a side panel that can be attached to and detached from an audio device with one touch.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a side panel of an audio device of the present invention is fitted into an elongated hole and a recess provided on the side surface of the housing of the audio device and the elongated hole provided on the inner surface of the side panel. L-shaped ribs and convex ribs that fit into the recesses, the L-shaped ribs of the side panel in the elongated holes of the housing, and the convex ribs of the side panel in the housing. The recesses can be fitted in each.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, the side panel can be attached to and detached from the side surface of the housing of the audio device with one touch.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a side panel of an audio device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an audio device using a side panel of the audio device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 1, reference numeral 1 is an audio device, 2 is a housing, 3 is a right side panel, 3'is a left side panel, and FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 2a is an elongated hole provided on the side surface of the housing, 2b is a concave drawing provided on the side surface of the housing, 2c is a round drawing portion for sinking the screw head of the fixing screw 4, and 3a is L provided on the inner surface of the side panel. V-shaped ribs and 3b indicate convex ribs.

The operation of the side panel of the audio device configured as described above will be described below. FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C are partial cross-sectional views of main parts. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the L-shaped rib 3a of the side panel 3 is fitted in the elongated hole 2a provided on the side surface of the housing in the horizontal direction (direction A). Next, while pushing the side panel 3 in the horizontal direction (direction A), the side panel 3 is displaced in the front direction (direction B). At this time, the overlapping portion of the convex rib 3b of the side panel causes a click sensation due to the elasticity of the housing 2 and the side panel 3 to generate a click feeling, and in the state of FIG. It is securely fixed to the housing 2.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the L-shaped rib 3 a and the convex rib 3 b provided on the inner surface of the side panel 3 are provided in the side surface of the housing 2 and the concave drawing portion. By fitting 3b, the side panel can be securely attached to the housing with one touch.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). As shown in FIG. 4 (a), unlike the first embodiment, the side surface of the housing 2 is provided with a deformed elongated hole 2 d in which round holes are connected to the ends of the elongated holes, and the inner surface of the side panel 3 is provided with Even if the deformed boss 3d having a spherical tip as shown in (b) is provided, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, by simply fitting the L-shaped rib and the convex rib provided on the inner surface of the side panel to the elongated hole provided on the side surface of the housing and the concave drawing portion, one-touch operation is possible. The side panel housing can be attached securely. Therefore, it is not necessary to attach the side panel to the audio device in advance before shipping, and it is possible to have it attached to the general user as an accessory part, and the man-hours for assembling at the time of shipping can be omitted, resulting in a significant cost reduction. Down is possible.

Further, by operating in the order of (c), (b) and (a) of FIG. 3, the side panel can be removed with one touch without removing the fixing screw and exposing the live part. As shown in the figure, when two audio equipments are stacked side by side, it is possible to install them neatly without designing the inner side panel.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to drastically reduce the installation man-hours and to diversify the installation examples with one-touch, reliably and safely.
