[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described mounting structure, when the panel member 101 is mounted on the front panel 103, a space for housing a mounting tool such as a spanner is required in the housing 102, so that the electrical components and electronic components mounted in the housing 102 are mounted. There was a problem that it was difficult to install because the parts interfered.

Further, particularly when the panel member 101 is formed of an aluminum plate, the welding area of the mounting surface 107a of the stud bolt 107 planted on the back surface of the panel member 101 cannot be sufficiently obtained, and the nut tightening is not performed. At this time, the rotating torque acts on the stud bolt 107, the load on the mounting surface 107a is large, and the stud bolt 107 may come off and be damaged.

Further, when removing the panel member 101 from the front panel 103, the screws 106 or the stud bolts 107 must be completely removed in any of the above-described mounting structures. Further, there is a problem that the attached parts such as the removed screw 106 and stud bolt 107 are easily lost.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to attach / detach a panel member to / from a front panel of a housing in a vertical direction of the housing with a relatively simple configuration. It is to provide a panel mounting structure that can be easily performed from the above and that can secure sufficient strength.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a view showing a first embodiment of a panel mounting structure according to the present invention. In the panel mounting structure according to this embodiment, a panel member 2 such as a decorative plate or an operation panel is detachably mounted to a front panel 1A of a housing 1 such as a measuring instrument.

A mounting member 3 is provided on the side of the panel member 2 that faces the front panel 1A. To explain further, the mounting member 3 is bent in an L shape, and one end 3a is welded to the back surface of the panel member 2 facing the front panel 1A by a welding means such as solder, and the back surface of the panel member 2 is welded. A U-shaped notch 4 is formed at the other end 3b which is a vertically extending mounting portion.

On the other hand, in the front panel 1A, a penetrating guide hole 5 is formed at a position facing the mounting member 3. The guide hole 5 is formed to be slightly larger than the dimensions of the width H1 and the height H2 of the mounting member 3 so that the panel member 2 overlaps the front panel 1A and the mounting member 3 can be housed therein.

Further, on the inner wall surface 1 a of the front panel 1 A, a support that overlaps with the other end 5 b of the mounting member 3 protruding inside the housing 1 through the guide hole 5 in a direction orthogonal to the guide hole 5 is provided. A member 6 is provided. The support member 6 is bent in an L-shape, and one end 6a is welded to the inner wall surface 1a by a welding means such as solder, and the other end 6b which is a support portion is hung vertically from the inner wall surface 1a. A screw hole 7 is formed.

In the configuration described above, when the panel member 2 is mounted on the front panel 1A of the housing 1, the other end (mounting portion) 3b of the mounting member 3 is connected to the other end (supporting portion) of the supporting member 6. Insert into the guide hole 5 along 6b. Then, with the back surface of the panel member 2 overlapping the front surface of the front panel, as shown in FIG. 2B, a screw 8 is screwed into the screw hole 7 from above the housing 1 to support the mounting member 3 as a support member. Combine on top of 6.

Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, the screw head and the like are not exposed on the front surface of the panel member 2 as in the conventional case, so that the appearance of the device is not impaired. Moreover, since the mounting member 3 is formed in an L shape, one entire surface of the mounting member 3 can be configured as a welding surface such as solder, so that the panel member 2 can be mounted with sufficient mounting strength. it can.

Further, in the case 1 in which various parts such as electric parts and electronic parts are mounted, the panel member 2 is attached by an attaching means such as a screw 8 on the upper surface side (or bottom surface) of the case 1. Since the mounting member 3 can be attached to and detached from the support member 6 without being hindered by the mounting of electric parts, electronic parts, etc., it can be performed extremely smoothly. Further, when removing the panel member 2 from the front panel 1A, the mounting member 3 is pulled out from the guide hole 5 by only loosening the screw 8 to some extent without completely removing the screw 8 from the screw hole 7, and the notch 4 is removed from the screw 8. Since it can be removed, it is possible to prevent the parts (need 8) from being lost and to improve work efficiency.

Next, FIGS. 3A and 3B show a second embodiment of the panel mounting structure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the screw 8 used for connecting the mounting member 3 to the support member 6 is unnecessary in the first embodiment described above. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the mounting member 3 is formed with the small projections 9 and the support member 6 is formed with the receiving holes 10 for receiving the small projections 9. The gap between the upper surface of the support member 6 and the upper edge of the guide hole 5 is designed to have a predetermined size such that the thickness H3 of the mounting member 3 is passed through, and the small protrusion 9 is fitted into the receiving hole 10. In this state, the upper edge of the guide hole 5 suppresses the upper surface of the mounting member 3 and the mounting member 3 can be coupled and held on the support member 6.

Next, FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C show a third embodiment of the panel mounting structure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the screw 8 that was screwed to the support member 6 in the first embodiment is screwed to the mounting member 3, and as shown in FIG. A hole 11 is formed, and a U-shaped cutout 12 is formed on the support member 6 side. Since the mounting member 3 here overlaps on the lower side of the support member 6, an insertion hole 13 for receiving the other end 3b of the mounting member 3 is formed in the support member 6.

Therefore, also in this case, similarly to the above-described first embodiment, the coupling between the mounting member 3 and the supporting member 6 can be released only by loosening the screw 8, and the panel member 2 is removed from the front panel 1A. be able to. Further, by providing this mounting structure above and below the housing 1, when the screw 8 is fastened, a tensile force is applied to the panel member 2 to ensure the joining of the panel member 2 to the housing 1. You can

Next, FIGS. 5A and 5B show a fourth embodiment of the panel mounting structure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the support member 6 which is a separate component from the front panel 1A in the first embodiment is integrally formed with the front panel 1A. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the front panel, a position corresponding to the mounting member 3 is cut and raised to form a guide hole 5 for receiving the mounting member 3, and the cut and raised portion constitutes the support member 6. is doing. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5B, the one end 3a forming the welded portion of the mounting member 3 is housed in the guide hole 5.
