Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a power switch mounting structure in a printer device or the like, and more particularly to a waveform power switch mounting structure.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a mounting structure of a waveform power switch (hereinafter referred to as a power switch) of a printer device is generally an upper edge of a base cover for fitting the power switch into a right rear side portion of the base cover. A recessed part was formed by cutting out the part, the power switch was fitted into the recessed part, and the power switch was fixed by fitting the middle cover to the base cover so as to suppress the upper part.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The installation position of the conventional power switch described above is invisible at first glance, but from the viewpoint of operability, if you try to move it to the front, the side cover on the front of the device will be cut off and the design will be defective. Could occur.

An object of the present invention is to mount a power switch that allows one-touch mounting of a waveform power switch at an arbitrary position on the side surface of a device cover without causing a design problem even at a seeming place. To provide the structure.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The power switch mounting structure of the present invention is provided on the side surface of the device cover, through which the power switch to be mounted can be inserted, the outer circumference having a contour larger than the contour of the opening, and the contour smaller than the contour of the front plate of the power switch. In addition, the main body of the power switch can be inserted, and after insertion, it has a size that is fixed by the movable spring on the side of the power switch and has a U-shaped opening with a notch open in one direction, and a side plate. It has a rib fixed to the inner surface of the cover corresponding to the provided opening and having a groove into which the stopper plate is inserted in the direction of closing the opening.

[0006]

[Action]

 An opening through which the power switch can pass is provided on the side of the equipment cover, and the power switch is mounted by fitting it into the stop plate that is held by the ribs inside it using the movable spring of the power switch.

[0007]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a power switch mounting structure of the present invention, (a) is an exploded view of the mounting structure, and (b) is a completed mounting diagram. Fig. 2 (a) shows a top view of the power switch alone, and Fig. 2 (b) shows a cross-sectional view of the power switch mounting structure with the power switch attached (however, the cable is not shown).

The mounting structure of this embodiment has a rectangular opening 3 provided on the front surface of a base cover 2 of the apparatus, a grooved rib 4 mounted on the base cover 2 inside the opening, and a rib 4 from above. It consists of a stop plate 5 to be inserted. The outline of the opening 3 has a size such that the front plate 6 of the power switch 1 and the power switch body can pass through.

In the rib 4, the stopper plate 5 is inserted into the groove from above and holds it from the left and right. The distance between the left and right ribs is equal to or greater than the distance between the left and right openings 3. The stopper plate 5 is inserted into and supported by the grooves of the left and right ribs 5 from above. The stopper plate 5 has an outer peripheral contour that is larger than the contour of the opening 3 and has a “U” -shaped opening with a notch opened downward. The distance between the openings on the left and right is the front plate 6 of the power switch 1. Is smaller than the left and right widths of the power switch 1 and slightly larger than the width of the main body of the power switch 1. However, since there are movable springs 7 on the left and right of the upper body part, the body part cannot pass through the U-shaped opening unless the movable spring 7 is pushed in from the left and right in the central direction.

Next, a method of attaching the power switch 1 to the above-described attachment structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 1A, the power switch 1 with the cable bundle 9 is pulled out from the inside of the base cover 2 to the outside through the opening 3. Next, the stopper plate 5 is inserted into the rib 4. At this time, the cable bundle 9 fits into the U-shaped opening of the stop plate, and the stop plate 5 fits into the rib 4 without being blocked by the cable bundle 9. Next, when the power switch 1 is pushed into the base cover 2 through the opening 3, the movable springs 7 on both sides of the power switch 1 are pushed toward the center from the left and right as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The main body of the power switch 1 enters the U-shaped opening of the stop plate 5 and stops when the front plate 6 of the power switch 1 contacts the stop plate 5. At this time, the power switch 1 is fixed in a state where both side surfaces are fitted into the U-shaped opening of the stopper plate 5 via the movable springs. Since the power applied to the power switch 1 by the operation of the device is only the inward pressing force, it is stably held.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since a rectangular opening is provided on the side surface of the device cover, there is no design defect, so that the device front face can be placed at an arbitrary position with good operability. There is an effect that a power switch can be attached.
