Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a panel fixing structure for fixing members such as jacks, connectors, and switches to the front or rear surface between a case and a chassis.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a panel on the front surface or rear surface between the case and the chassis, to which members such as jacks, connectors, and switches are attached, is used to prevent the panels from moving or falling when attaching these members. In addition, a panel 21 formed in a U shape as shown in FIG. 5 is used by being screwed 24 to a case 22 and a chassis 23.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to screw the panel in this way, the panel must be formed in a U shape so that it abuts on the screwed portion with the case and chassis, and the screwing work in the assembly process. There are many problems, such as being troublesome.

In view of the above, the present invention minimizes the screwing work in mounting the panel between the case and the chassis, and also attaches and detaches members such as jacks and switches to the attached panel. As a result of a study on a panel fixing structure that prevents the panel from moving or slipping at times, the present invention was achieved.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, this invention is a panel for fixing members such as jacks and switches fixed between the case and the chassis, the panel having an L shape, and engaging pawls integrally formed at both upper ends of the panel. It is characterized in that the bottom surface of the L-shaped panel is screwed to the chassis while being fitted in the notch hole formed in the case, and the panel having the engaging claws integrally formed at both ends of the upper portion has a bent portion. It is characterized by being present.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the panel fixing structure of the present invention, the panel and the case are fixed by fitting the engaging claws integrally formed at both upper ends of the panel into the notch holes provided in the case, thereby fixing the screws in the assembly process. The work can be minimized only between the bottom of the panel and the chassis, which simplifies the assembly work and even when force is applied to the panel when attaching / detaching members such as jacks and switches to the fixed panel. The panel does not move or fall.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment thereof. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an embodiment of the panel fixing structure of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing another embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a case fitted to the chassis 2, and notch holes 3 and 3 are formed at required positions of the case 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a panel which is inserted into the chassis 2 and fixed to the case 1 and the chassis 2 and has an L shape, and engaging claws 5 and 5 are integrally formed at both upper ends thereof. Then, the panel 4 is fixed by fitting the engaging claws 5 and 5 at both upper ends into the notch holes 3 and 3 of the case 1 and then screwing 7 the L-shaped bottom surface 6 and the chassis 2.

As described above, the panel 4 is fixed to the case 1 by fitting the engaging claws 5 and 5 formed at both ends of the upper part into the notch holes 3 and 3, so that the screwing operation is performed with the chassis 2. It is only fixed and therefore the assembly work is very simple and contributes to cost reduction. Members such as jacks, connectors, and switches were attached to the panel 4 thus fixed, but no trouble was found in the fixed panel even if force was applied to the panel at this time.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the panel fixing structure of the present invention, and the structure other than the panel shape is the same as that of FIG. The panel 11 in FIG. 2 is L-shaped like the panel 4 shown in FIG. 1, and the engaging claws 5 and 5 are integrally formed at both ends of the upper part, and the middle thereof is bent perpendicular to the surface of the chassis 2. It has different planes 12 and 13 which are bent at the portions 15 and 16 and are connected to the bent piece 14. As a result, the verticality of the flat surfaces 12 and 13 is improved, and the positional accuracy of the engaging claws 5 and 5 integrally formed at both upper ends of the panel 11 with respect to the notch holes 3 and 3 formed in the case 1 can be better maintained. As a result, the assembly work can be performed smoothly. Further, with such a shape, even if the engaging claws 5 and 5 are simply fitted into the cutout holes 3 and 3 of the case 1, the panel can be prevented from falling down even before being fixed to the chassis.

Further, by forming different planes 12 and 13 on the panel 11, when attaching members such as jacks and switches as shown in FIG. 3, the attachment points are determined depending on the size and depth of the members 15 and 16. You can select and attach in a good appearance. It should be noted that the shape of the panel 11 is not limited to the one having the bent piece 14 that is nearly right-angled in FIG. 2, but a shape having two flat surfaces 12a and 13a connected to the bent piece 14a that is bent as shown in FIG. It may be the panel 11a.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a panel for fixing members such as a jack and a connector fixed between the case and the chassis is provided in an L-shape with engaging claws integrally formed at both upper ends thereof. This engaging claw is fitted into the notch hole drilled in the case, and the fixing structure is such that only the bottom surface with the chassis is screwed, so that the screwing work in the assembly process is minimized. It was confirmed that the structure is simple and that the fixing structure does not hinder the mounting of the members to the fixed panel.
