DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

The electric device 1 has a body 10 and a cover 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the body 10 and the cover 30 are configured so that the body 10 is mounted, wiring work is performed, and then the cover 30 is slid downward (sliding). For this purpose, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, two guides 11, 1 formed on the body 10 are provided.
2, 13 and a guide 31 formed substantially all around the cover 30
Are opposed to each other, the cover 30 is engaged and fixed while sliding on the body 10, and is further screwed. Incidentally, 23 and 24 of the body 10 and 40 of the cover 30 are stoppers for the engagement (the cover 30 side is partially omitted).

In the body 10 (shown in FIG. 3), 1
Reference numerals 4 and 15 denote terminal portions for connecting signal lines, 16 denotes a connection terminal for a commercial power supply or the like, 17 denotes an input hole for wiring from inside a wall or the like, and 18 denotes a printed circuit board on the body 10 side.

The printed circuit board 18 is provided with a slide switch 19 for turning on and off the power. Further, a power supply-related circuit (not shown) is also formed on the printed circuit board 18 around the slide switch 19.

The cover 30 (shown in FIG. 4) has a boss 3
2, 32 are provided for screwing a printed circuit board (not shown) or the like. This printed circuit board has operations,
Circuits for control and the like are formed.

An operation mechanism 33 for operating the slide switch 19 is provided on the cover 30.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 1, the operation mechanism 33 is provided over the front surface and the back surface on the cover 30 side, and has a knob 35, a sliding portion 45, and a protrusion 55.
The knob 35 can be operated with fingers or the like from the front side of the cover 30, and a concave portion 34 is formed on the surface of the cover 30 around the knob 35. The recess 34 is formed for the purpose of preventing the knob 35 from being inadvertently touched and moving, and for hiding the knob 35 with a surface plate. ON, O on the bottom of the recess 34
The display such as FF may be formed at the time of molding.

An operation mechanism 33 is provided on the inner bottom surface side of the cover 30.
Are formed with the sliding portion 45, the protruding portion 55, and the like. The sliding portion 45 is formed in a partially bent plate shape. On both side surfaces of the sliding portion 45, the sliding portion 45 slides in the same direction as the slide switch 19. The locking pieces 36 are integrally formed so as to protrude from the cover 30. The locking pieces 36 also have a function of holding the operation mechanism 33 on the cover 30 side.

A guide hole 46 provided at an end of the sliding portion 45;
With the projection 37 integrally formed from the inner surface of the cover 30,
A guide is formed. The guide portion is provided with the locking piece 3.
The guiding function of the sliding portions 45 is assisted more smoothly by assisting the guiding functions of 6, 36. This guide is the main guide,
The locking pieces 36, 36 may be used only for holding the sliding portion 45. Reference numeral 38 denotes a boss for fixing the printed circuit board, which also serves as a guide for the sliding portion 45 (corresponding holes are:
Long holes). Reference numeral 39 denotes a projection on the back surface of the recess 34.

Next, the projecting portion 55 is formed integrally with the sliding portion 45 in the direction of the slide switch 19 on the body 10 side. The projecting portion 55 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and has a fitting portion 56 in which the operating portion 20 of the slide switch 19 is loosely fitted. Further, tapered portions 57, 57 are formed at both ends of the open end of the U-shape. When the cover 30 is slidably engaged with the body 10, the tapered portions 57, 57 descend with the movement of the projecting portion 55.
Are in contact with the two sides 21 and 22 of the operation unit 20 of the slide switch 19 (see FIG. 5).

The operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. When the cover 30 is slid on the body 10 for engagement, the protruding portion 55 descends and changes from the state A to the state B. Here, the taper portions 57 abut on the operation portion 20 of the slide switch 19. Thereafter, the operation mechanism 33 (the protruding portion 55, the sliding portion 45, and the knob portion 35) is moved by the taper function in accordance with the position of the slide switch 19. Then, the state C is reached, and the fitting section 56 is fitted to the operation section 20 of the slide switch 19.

When the body 10 and the cover 30 are engaged with each other, the slide switch 19
Even if the position of the operation unit 20 and the protrusion 55 (the knob 35) are not aligned, the protrusion 55 (the knob 35) moves and the engagement can be performed without any trouble.

It should be noted that, unlike FIG.
When the operation unit 20 is on the opposite side (right side), the operation mechanism 33 (the protruding portion 55, the sliding portion 45, and the knob portion 35) moves in the opposite direction, and the body 10 and the cover 30 An engagement is made.

Although the tapered portions 57 are provided on the projecting portion 55, they may be provided on the operation portion 20 side of the slide switch 19.

After the body 10 and the cover 30 are engaged, the knob 35 is operated left and right with fingers to
The operation unit 20 of the slide switch 19 can be driven right and left.

[0023]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, even when the slide switch on the body side is separated from the operation knob on the cover and the operation section of the slide switch is in any position, And the cover can be engaged by sliding. Also, since the power supply line is drawn in from the back side of the body, it is more convenient to arrange the power supply circuit on the printed circuit board on the body side. Even so, the power supply circuit can be arranged on the body side.

According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect of the present invention, since the guide of the operation mechanism is formed integrally with the cover, there is an effect that there is no need to increase the number of parts.

According to the third aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, the sliding guide portion can be further formed by the member of the sliding portion and the cover.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect of the present invention, the operation of the slide switch does not move since no person or the like accidentally hits the knob. It is also possible to hide the knob with a surface plate or the like.
