Abstract

PURPOSE: To resist impact and to prevent damage during transportation, etc. CONSTITUTION: A display unit 1 is supported on a printed circuit board 3 via a display unit holding parts 2 having a hinge part 9. The display unit holding parts 2 are fixed in an upright posture to the printed circuit board 3 by engaging with a case body 4, where the display contents can easily be seen through a display window 6 of a front panel 5. An upper part 10 of the display unit holding parts 2 is formed integrally with a video cassette inserting guide parts.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for holding a display unit of a VTR (video tape recorder) represented by a fluorescent display tube.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a structure of this type has been shown in FIG. In this figure, the display unit 1 is supported on the printed circuit board 3 via the display unit holding component 2, and by fixing the printed circuit board 3 to the housing 4, the display unit 6 is viewed from the display window 6 of the front panel 5. The display contents when you touch it are easy to see. Then, the mechanical portion 8 to which the video cassette insertion guide component 7 is attached is placed from above. This video cassette insertion guide part 7
Is an independent part, and when inserting the video cassette,
In addition to serving as a bridge from the front panel 5 to the mechanical section 8, it is indispensable for preventing danger when a person inadvertently inserts his / her hand and for blinding the internal structure.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional device, the lower end portion of the display unit holding component 2 is the printed circuit board 3.
, And the upper end is not fixed to any of them, which is a so-called cantilever state. For this reason, there is a problem in that, when a strong impact is applied during transportation of the VTR, the joint between the printed circuit board 3 and the display unit holding component 2 is damaged. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a display unit holding structure in a VTR that is resistant to impact.

[0004]

A display unit holding structure in a VTR of the present invention for solving the above problems and achieving the above object has a display unit supported on a printed circuit board by a display unit holding component. In the VTR having a structure in which the terminals of the display unit are directly soldered to the printed circuit board, a video cassette insertion guide part is provided on the upper side of the display unit holding part opposite to the part connected to the printed circuit board. Is integrally formed and fitted with the housing.

[0005]

In the display unit holding structure of the VTR of the present invention constructed as described above, the lower portion of the display unit holding component is fixed to the printed circuit board, and the upper portion is fitted to the housing. Even if a strong impact is applied, the connection between the root of the display unit holding portion and the printed circuit board is not damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the front of the VTR. The display unit 1 is swingably supported on the printed circuit board 3 via a display unit holding component 2 having a hinge portion 9. The display unit holding component 2 is fixed to the printed circuit board 3 in an upright posture by fitting with the housing 4, so that the display contents when viewed from the display window 6 of the front panel 5 can be easily seen. . At the same time, a video cassette insertion guide component 7 is integrally formed on the upper portion 10 of the display unit holding component 2.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a procedure for assembling the printed circuit board 3 to which the display unit holding component 2 is attached in the housing 4. (a), (b) and (c) show the procedure. It shows the situation. In order to avoid interference with the fitting portion 11 and the boss 12 provided on the housing 4 and to facilitate the assembly, the display unit holding component 2 is first tilted inward to be assembled into the housing 4, and then the display unit holding component 2 is moved to the front. The housing 4 is fitted by being raised.

[0008]

As described above, the VTR of the present invention
The display unit holding structure in (1) is sufficiently resistant to a strong impact.
