[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a casing structure capable of visibly responding to a difference in size of units mounted inside a common casing.

The development of mechanisms in electronic devices is remarkable, and there is a momentum of rapid progress. For example, the same applies to a floppy disk unit of a storage device, and the increase in capacity and downsizing are being promoted year by year.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in the perspective view in the separated state of FIG. 4, for example, when the floppy disk unit (hereinafter simply referred to as a unit) 1 is not mounted and mounted on another device and is used alone, it is housed in a housing. Let

That is, the housing is a substrate 3 on which the unit 1 is mounted and fixed.
A front cover 6 having an opening 5 for fitting the front panel 4 of the unit 1 and exposing the front panel 4 in a state of being aligned with the front surface; and a substrate 3 and a unit 1 mounted and fixed on the substrate. And a substrate cover 7 for covering.

As shown in the side views of FIGS. 4 and 5, the unit 1 is mounted and fixed to the board 2 with screws 8 from both sides while being mounted on the board 2.

Then, the front panel 4 of the unit 1 is fitted so as to be exposed from the rear surface of the opening 5 of the front cover 6 toward the front surface, and a fixing portion extending from both side surfaces of the front cover 6 in the rear direction.
6a is attached and fixed to the side surface of the substrate 3 with a screw 8.

As shown in FIG. 5, the housing cover 7 including the upper cover 7a and the lower cover 7b is inserted into the inner surface of the front surface cover 6 by inserting the front ends thereof into engagement with each other, and the rear surface is fixed by the screw 8. It is attached and fixed to the substrate 3.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The unit 1 is housed in the housing as described above. However, the unit 1 may be miniaturized or may be of a different type, and may be provided between the opening 5 of the front cover 6 and the front panel 4 of the unit 1. When the voids are generated, the appearance is deteriorated and the appearance becomes bad.

Therefore, in such a case, a surface cover 6 having an opening 5 matching the shape of the surface panel 4 may be newly made. However, if the surface cover 6 is a plastic molded product, it is prepared from a mold. However, there is a problem that it cannot be easily made for economic and delivery reasons.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to accommodate the units 1 having different sizes of the front panel 4 of the unit 1 in one type of housing without impairing the appearance.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1A is a side view showing the housing structure of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 (a), in the present invention, the unit 9 and the substrate 3 on which the front surface cover 6 is attached and fixed on both sides thereof, and the unit 9 and the substrate 3 are covered to cover the unit 3. The housing cover 7 to be attached and the opening 5 for fitting and exposing the surface panel 10 on the front surface of the unit so as to coincide with the front surface of the surface cover 6.
And a blind plate 11 which is fitted into the opening of the void based on the difference in shape between the opening width of the opening 5 and the width of the surface panel 10 to close the void, and a surface cover attached to the back surface of the blind plate 11 And a mounting plate member 12 that is a thin plate that is in contact with the back surface of the sheet 6 on both sides and that extends in the back direction from the both sides. The tip of the mounting plate member 12 has the front surface cover 6 or the unit 9
In addition, the casing structure is configured to be attached and fixed to the substrate 3.

[Action]

The blind plate 11 which is fitted into the opening portion of the void based on the shape difference between the opening width of the opening portion 5 and the width of the surface panel 10 to close the void is
A thin mounting plate member 12, 12a attached to the back
Is in contact with the back surface of the front cover 6 on both sides,
Since the position of the blind plate 11 is defined, the appearance seen from the surface is good.

The front end of the thin mounting plate member 12, 12a is a surface cover 6
Alternatively, since it is fixed to the substrate 3 together with the unit 1, it can be fastened together, and it is simple and has a good appearance without requiring any special means for mounting.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a housing structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on a configuration example and specific embodiments.

1 to 3 show respective embodiments of the present invention, in which the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings. 1A is a side sectional view, FIG. 1B is a plan sectional view taken along the line AB of FIG. 1A, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a blind plate.

The board 3 on which the unit 9 is mounted and fixed is provided with a mounting portion that rises from the bottom surface to both side surfaces, and a similar mounting portion on the back surface side. Unit 9 mounted with screws 8 below the mounting portions on both sides of the board 3.
The front surface panel 10 on the front side is fitted into the opening 5 which is the opening hole of the front cover 6 and exposed so that the front surfaces are aligned with each other.

This housing can accommodate the conventional unit 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the size of the opening 5 of the surface cover 6 is the same. However, the width in the height direction of the unit 9 is made smaller and smaller as seen in FIG. 1 (a), and the width in the lateral direction does not change as shown in FIG. 1 (b). Is.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the lower end of the surface panel 10 coincides with the lower part of the opening 5, and the upper end forms a gap between the upper part and the upper part of the opening 5. become. A blind plate 11 having an area corresponding to this space is fitted, and its thickness is made to match the thickness of the surface cover 6 as shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 2, a thin mounting plate member 12 is integrally attached to the back surface of the blind plate 11, and both ends thereof are in contact with the back surface of the front cover 6 as shown in FIG. , Further extending in the back direction from both sides thereof. By contacting the back surface of the front cover 6 in this manner, the position of the blind plate 11 in the front-rear direction is defined.

The thin mounting plate member thus extending in the rear direction
The tip of 12 is attached and fixed by a screw 8 above the attachment portion of the substrate 3 together with the fixing portion 6a of the surface cover 6.

As in the other embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the thin mounting plate member 12a is made to extend downward on the rear surface, and the substrate 3
Together with the unit 9 as the lower part of the mounting part of the screw 8
It can also be attached and fixed with.

As described above, the thin mounting plate members 12 and 12a for mounting the blind plate 11 have a small thickness, so that they are fixed to the fixing portion 6a of the front cover 6 or the unit 9 together with the fixing portion of the substrate 3. However, this does not affect the attachment of the housing cover 7.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a) or FIG. 3, the housing cover 7 including the upper cover 7a and the lower cover 7b is inserted into the inner surface of the front surface cover 6 by inserting the front ends thereof into engagement with each other. The rear surface is attached and fixed to the substrate 3 with the screw 8.

[Effect of device]

As described in detail above, according to the housing structure of the present invention,
If there is a gap in the opening of the surface cover due to the difference in the size of the units in a common size housing, prepare a thin mounting plate member with a blind plate to compensate for it and prepare the surface cover. By mounting from the back side of the board, you can easily and easily mount it by mounting it on the board together with the front cover or the unit without changing the structure or adopting a special configuration in the unit or the housing. It's not exposed.

The various effects in which the blind plate does not protrude from the surface of the surface cover or is not in the retracted position and a good condition can be obtained without impairing the aesthetic appearance are extremely remarkable.
