Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a remote controller support structure that can be detachably attached to a hanger fixed to a wall.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Remote controllers are widely used for operating household electric appliances.For example, in the case of an air conditioner, etc., a hanger should be attached to the wall near the equipment, and the hanger should be used with the remote controller set. It is designed so that it can be operated at any position by removing it from the hanger.

In the field of sanitary equipment, multi-functional products ranging from a local cleaning function to an automatic cleaning of the bowl of a toilet have become widespread, and similar remote controllers are also used for these products.

FIG. 8 is an example of an arrangement of remote controllers attached to toilet equipment.

A casing 51 provided integrally with the toilet body 50 accommodates a nozzle device for local cleaning and equipment for automatic cleaning of the ball portion, and a remote controller 52 for operating these equipment. It is set on a hanger 53 fixed to the wall.

The mounting position of the hanger 53 is generally the left hand or the right hand of the toilet body 50 so that it can be used even when a person is sitting on the toilet seat 50a or standing in front of the toilet body 50. Is.

There are various kinds of hangers 53. Basically, a bag-shaped rim 53a is formed on the lower end side and left and right of the hanger 53 so that the hanger 53 can be dropped into the hanger 53 from above. Is.

If such a rim 53a is provided, the set remote controller 52 can be used in a state of being hung on a wall without coming off to the front side.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when using the remote controller 52 by hand, the remote controller 52 cannot be removed unless it is lifted above the height of the rim 53a. Also, when setting, it is necessary to slide the remote controller 52 along the front surface of the hanger 53.

Such handling is not a problem if a person stands in front of the toilet body 50. On the other hand, a person sitting on the toilet seat 50a often feels inconvenience in taking out and setting the remote controller 52 as described above, since the posture thereof cannot be freely moved.

Further, when the remote controller 52 is hung on the hanger 53, the rim 53 a comes out in front of the remote controller 52. As a result, the compactness and overall feeling are lost, and there is still room for improvement in terms of appearance.

[0012] The problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a remote controller support structure that makes it easier to set and remove the remote controller to and from the hanger, improves usability, and has a favorable appearance.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a hanger that is fixed to a wall or the like, and a support structure in which a remote controller is attachable to and detachable from the hanger. The hanger has a lower end at the lower edge and left and right side edges in the vicinity thereof. An anchor bracket that hangs and protrudes to the front side is provided, and a notch profile that allows the anchor bracket to be inserted from the lower end surface to the left and right side surfaces in the vicinity is provided on the back of the remote controller main body on the lower end side. A concave-convex fitting means for restraining each other is provided between the bottom surface of the hanger and the lower end surface of the notch profile, and the front surface of the hanger and the back surface of the main body of the remote controller are attracted to each other. It is characterized in that it is provided with magnetic force coupling means that match each other.

The notch profile has a shape that fits the outer contours of the anchor bracket on the upper surface side and the front surface side, and the notch depth to the inner side of the main body can be made substantially equal to the wall thickness of the anchor bracket. .

[0015]

[Action]

 The anchor bracket on the hanger projects to the front and accepts the notch profile of the remote controller, so it can be attached or detached by simply inserting and removing the remote controller toward the hanger.

In addition, the recess and protrusion fitting between the anchor bracket and the notch profile is performed on the lower end side, and in addition to this, the back part of the remote controller is constrained to the hanger side by magnetic coupling, so that the remote controller has two points. Be detained. Then, the locking force due to the concave-convex fitting regulates the slip of the remote controller from the hanger and enables stable holding.

Further, by adjusting the shape and the depth of the notch profile to the anchor bracket side, it is possible to obtain an appearance without unevenness when the remote controller is hung on the hanger.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a hanger and a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the hanger 1 is of a wall-fixed type as shown in the conventional example, and has a base 1a which receives the back surface of the remote controller 2 in the vertical direction. An anchor bracket 1b, which is slightly wider in the width direction than the base 1a and protrudes to the front side, is provided on the lower end side of the base 1a. The anchor bracket 1b is formed so as to frame the lower end and the left and right side surfaces of the base 1a, and has a locking hole 1c elongated in the width direction on the bottom side.

The base 1a is provided with screw holes 1d and 1e for screwing the screws 3a and 3b into a wall at two upper and lower positions. These screw holes 1d and 1e are provided in fixed seats 1d-1 and 1e-1 whose periphery is recessed toward the back side, and the upper screw holes 1d are arranged in the width direction in order to simplify positioning. The lower screw hole 1e is elongated in the vertical direction.

Further, a mounting seat 1f for incorporating the metal piece 4 of a magnetic material is provided on the upper end side of the base 1a by recessing it on the back side. The metal piece 4 has a thickness that slightly projects from the mounting seat 1f, and a projection 1h is provided on the surface of the base 1a.

The remote controller 2 is shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the back side thereof. This remote controller 2 has push-type switch buttons for various operations arranged on the front side thereof, and is a conventionally known waterproof type.

On the lower end side of the main body 2 a of the remote controller 2, a cutout profile 2 b having a shape that follows the outer contour of the anchor bracket 1 b of the hanger 1 is provided. The notch profile 2b has a shape that fits to the upper and front outer contours of the anchor bracket 1b when the main body 2a hits the front surface of the hanger 1. The depth of the notch on the inner side of the main body 2a is equal to the thickness of the anchor bracket 1b. Further, a protrusion 2c fitted in the locking hole 1c of the anchor bracket 1b is provided on the lower surface of the notch profile 2b so as to be elongated in the width direction.

A fixed seat 5 a for holding the rubber magnet 5 corresponding to the metal piece 4 of the hanger 1 is provided at the upper end of the back surface of the main body 2 a of the remote controller 2 so as to be recessed. The rubber magnet 5 also has a thickness slightly protruding from the fixed seat 5a.

2A and 2B show the details of the lower end portion of the remote controller 2. FIG. 2A is a bottom view and FIG. 2B is a rear view.

The main body 2a is formed so that the entire circumference thereof has a gentle curved surface, and a switch button 2d for operation is arranged on the front side thereof. As described above, on the back side, the notch profile 2b is formed by recessing the back side from the lower end and the left and right side surfaces, and the protrusion 2c is located substantially at the center of the lower end. There is.

3A and 3B show details of the lower end portion of the hanger 1, where FIG. 3A is a horizontal sectional view of a main part, and FIG. 3B is a vertical sectional view of the main part.

A rim 1g that abuts the wall is projected over the entire circumference of the rear edge of the hanger 1, and an anchor bracket 1b is formed on the front extension of the rim 1g. The inner wall of the anchor bracket 1b and the front surface of the hanger 1 are shaped so as to fit the outer contour of the main body 2a of the remote controller 2 so that the main body 2a can be held tightly.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a battery box cover 2e is detachably provided on the back of the main body 2a of the remote controller 2.

FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, in which three batteries 6a, 6b, 6c are vertically arranged in a battery box 2f formed in the main body 2a. Can be installed in series. These batteries 6a-6b are arranged such that the upper and lower ends of the row are in contact with the electrodes 2i, 2j via the springs 2g, 2h.

On the back surface of the cover 2e, there is provided a spacer 2e-1 to be inserted into a gap formed by a plus electrode between the upper and middle batteries 6a and 6b and the middle and lower batteries 6b and 6c. . The spacer 2e-1 has a length corresponding to the height direction of the main body 2a, which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the plus electrode, and does not cause defective contact between the batteries 6a and 6b.

In the above structure, as shown in FIG. 5, the main body 2a of the remote controller 2 deposits the lower end portion of the main body 2a of the remote controller 2 on the anchor bracket 1b and the upper end portion of the hanger 1 is fixed to the wall B by the screws 3a and 3b. It is held by the attraction between the magnet 5 and the metal piece 4.

At the time of this suction holding, since the metal piece 4 and the rubber magnet 5 are protruding respectively, their surfaces always come into contact with each other, and the suction is good and the holding is reliable. Further, the four protrusions 1h provided on the hanger 1 can absorb the rattling caused by the protrusion of the metal piece 4 and the rubber magnet 5, respectively. The projections 1h may be provided on the back surface of the remote controller 1.

Here, the hanger 1 may be provided with a rubber magnet 40 instead of the metal piece 4, and the rubber magnet 40 included in the hanger 1 and the N pole and the S pole of the rubber magnet 5 of the remote controller 2 may be provided. The sequence is shown in FIG.

As shown in the drawing, the magnetism of the rubber magnet 40 can be formed by the N-pole and S-pole bands in the vertical direction. At that time, the magnetism of the rubber magnet 5 provided in the remote controller 2 is also formed in a strip shape of N pole and S pole in the vertical direction, and naturally, between the magnets 5 and 40, the arrangement of N pole and S pole is N pole and S pole. The poles should be facing each other. This makes it possible to shorten the path of the magnetic field lines toward the N pole and S pole, compared to a case where the entire rubber magnet has one magnetism, and increases the adsorption force even if a rubber magnet having the same magnetic force is used. You can In addition, since the strip-shaped N pole and S pole face each other and are attracted to each other when the remote controller 2 is accurately stored in the hanger 1, when the remote controller 2 is stored in the hanger 1, the position shifts. If the same poles face each other and repel each other, they are attracted when they are accurately positioned, and the remote controller 2 can be laterally positioned.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lower end of the main body 2a is a combination in which the notch profile 2b fits into the outer contour of the anchor bracket 1b and is integrated, so that the surface is not uneven. For this reason, the main body 2a and the anchor bracket 2b have the appearance of an integrated body when viewed from the front and the side. Also, since the base 1a of the hanger 1 is hidden, it is possible to create a compact and neat appearance as a whole.

The main body 2a of the remote controller 2 held by the hanger 1 has a protrusion 2c at the lower end thereof fitted into the locking hole 1c to be restrained in the front-rear direction, and at the same time, the metal piece 4 is made of a rubber magnet. It is adsorbed by 5 and is restrained toward the back side. In this way, the upper and lower two points of the main body 2a are mechanically constrained to the hanger 1 side, so that they are always stably held in the hanger 1 and sway even when the switch button 2d is pressed. There is nothing to do.

When the remote controller 2 is held and operated by hand, the main body 2a may be pulled out in the direction of the arrow in FIG. This is because only the back part on the lower end side of the main body 2a is fitted into the anchor bracket 1b and there is no member for restraining the front side, and therefore the main body 2a can be simply pulled out toward you. Therefore, even when it is used for toilet equipment as in the conventional example, it is possible to easily pick up the main body 2a of the remote controller 2 while a person is sitting on the toilet seat, and the usability is greatly improved.

Further, even when the remote controller 2 is hung on the hanger 1, it may be set in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5, and the operation of inserting the remote controller 2 from directly above to below as in the conventional example is unnecessary. Further, since the projection 2c provided at the lower end of the main body 2a fits into the locking hole 1c, it does not slip off from the hanger 1.

If only the attraction force between the metal piece 4 and the rubber magnet 5 is retained, when the hanger 1 is hung in such a position that the lower end side of the body 2a is projected forward, The lower end surface of 2a may slip on the anchor bracket 1b and fall off. On the other hand, by utilizing the engagement between the protrusion 2b-1 and the locking hole 1c, the main body 2a can be set in the correct posture with respect to the hanger 1, and at the same time, the sliding down can be completely prevented. You can

Here, if the remote controller 2 falls off from the hanger 1 by mistake and is dropped while being operated by hand, the impact is also transmitted to the batteries 6a to 6c in the battery box 2f. Although the upper and lower ends of the row of the batteries 6a to 6c are elastically supported through the springs 2g and 2h, especially when the battery 2a falls from the lower end side and hits the floor, a large load is applied to the upper spring 2g. May be added, and the elastic limit may be exceeded. Therefore, poor contact with the negative side of the battery 6a is caused, and the operation cannot be performed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the cover 2e of the battery box 2f is provided with the spacer 2e-1 which is sandwiched between the batteries 6a to 6c. Restrained in an independent position. Since the cover 2e is integral with the main body 2a, the batteries 6a to 6c constrained by the spacer 2e-1 are kept absolutely stationary in the main body 2a. Therefore, even if an external force is applied, the battery 6a on the upper side is prevented from violently moving to the spring 2g side, and the load on the spring 2g is also reduced. Therefore, even if the main body 2a is dropped, contact failure around the batteries 6a to 6c can be eliminated, and stable operation can be performed.

Although the locking hole 1c is formed in the anchor bracket 1b in the embodiment, a groove into which the protrusion 2b-1 falls may be used instead. Further, a protrusion may be provided on the anchor bracket 1b side and a groove into which the protrusion is fitted may be provided on the lower surface of the main body of the remote controller 2.

[Effect of device]

 In the present invention, the remote controller can be attached / detached by simply inserting / removing the remote controller toward the front side, which eliminates the conventional work of pulling it up and inserting it along the hanger, thus improving usability. Planned.

Further, since the lower end of the remote controller is locked to the hanger side by the concave-convex fitting, there is a possibility that slippage may occur only by attraction by magnetic force, but restraint on the hanger side is maintained. . For this reason, a stable set is maintained, and it can be used safely without rattling or slipping even when operated with the hanger attached.

Furthermore, by matching the notch profile to the shape of the anchor bracket, it is possible to give a clean feeling when the remote controller is hung on the hanger without any unevenness on the surface.
