Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic device that allows easy adjustment of the mounting position of an electronic component that has a protrusion that should protrude from the outside of the device in an installed state.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state in which an electronic component such as a jack, which has a protrusion that should protrude from the outside of the device when it is installed, is attached to a conventional electronic device.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a jack body which is an electronic component that mechanically holds a plug (not shown) and electrically connects the plug into which the plug is inserted.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a protrusion such as a hollow cylindrical mouthpiece that protrudes from the jack body 1 and into which a plug is introduced. In this case, a screw is formed on the outer periphery of the protrusion 2.

Reference numeral 3 designates a back panel provided with a through hole through which the protrusion 2 is inserted.The protrusion 2 is inserted through the through hole and a nut 4 is screwed to hold the back panel.

Furthermore, 5 is a decorative panel provided parallel to the back panel 3, and a through hole 6 is provided at a position corresponding to the protrusion 2 into which the tip of the protrusion 2 is inserted.

However, in such a case, errors in the positions of the through holes provided in the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5, that is, variations in the positions of the through holes, and deviations in the fixed positions of the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5, etc. 5 through hole 6
There was a problem that the protruding portion 2 of the electronic component 1 could not be inserted into the housing.

For this reason, the through hole 6 of the decorative panel 5 is made sufficiently large compared to the dimensions of the protrusion 2, but in this case, the center of the through hole 6 and the center of the protrusion 2 may not match. However, the gap between the protrusion 2 and the edge of the through hole 6 becomes uneven, making the front surface of the decorative panel 5 unsightly and detracting from its aesthetic appearance, and mechanically there is a problem in providing too large a gap.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily adjust the mounting position of electronic components that have protrusions that should protrude from the outside of the device when installed, thereby facilitating assembly work and providing excellent aesthetics and high quality. The purpose is to provide electronic equipment.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in Section 2, with the same parts as in FIG. This will be explained with reference to an assembled perspective view and a plan view shown in the third country.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a sub-panel to which the jack body 1 is attached with screws 12. This sub-panel 11 has attachment holes 13 and is attached to the back panel 3 with attachment screws 14 that pass loosely through the attachment holes 13.

In this case, the through hole 6 of the decorative panel 5 is formed to match the external dimensions of the protrusion 2 of the jack main body 1 so that the protrusion 2 of the jack body 1 just fits therein.

FIG. 4 shows the mounting screw 14, in which a spacer portion 143 is formed between the head 141 and the threaded portion 142, which is slightly longer than the thickness of the sub-panel 11.

On the other hand, the sub-panel 11 is provided with a mounting hole 13 having a diameter larger than the shaft diameter of the threaded portion 142 of the mounting screw 14 and smaller than the outer diameter of the head 141.

That is, the spacer portion 143 for this mounting hole 13
The sub-panel 11 can be moved in the direction of the panel surface by an amount of margin.

In this case, subpanel 11. The screws 14 and the like constitute movable support means for movably supporting the jack body 1 on the back panel 3.

With this configuration, when the mounting screws 14 are tightened, the sub-panel 11 can be moved from the panel surface to the back panel 3 by the margin of the diameter of the spacer portion 143 of the mounting screw 14 relative to the diameter of the mounting hole 13 of the sub-panel 11. You can move in any direction.

That is, when assembling, when the relative position of the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5 is fixed (that is, when the other is directly fixed to one of both the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5, or when one of the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5 is fixed) (e.g., when directly or indirectly fixing the other to the third member attached to the panel), the electronic component 1 movably supported on the back panel 3 is moved as necessary, and the protrusion 2 is inserted into the through hole 6 of the decorative panel 5. be inserted into.

By doing so, the electronic component 1 can be easily positioned without loosening the mounting screws, and the position of the electronic component 1 in the panel surface direction is determined by the through hole 6 after being fixed and assembled.

Therefore, without making the through hole 6 unnecessarily large as in the conventional case, it is possible to make the through hole 6 sufficiently small so that the protrusion 2 can be inserted therein, thereby preventing an unsightly appearance.

Therefore, the tolerance of the position of the through hole 6 of the decorative panel 5 with respect to the attachment position of the component 1 of the back panel 3 is large, making it easy to process and assemble the back panel 3 and the decorative panel 5, thereby improving productivity.

Furthermore, by fitting the protrusion 2 of the electronic component 1 into the through hole 6 of the decorative panel 5, the electronic component 1 can be held securely and the mechanical strength can also be increased.

In addition, in this case, since the electronic component 1 is indirectly attached to the back panel 3 using the sub-panel 11, the number of support points (the number of screws 14) and the spacing of the movable support part can be secured sufficiently. As a movable support, the support can be ensured and strong regardless of the mounting structure of the main body of the electronic component 1, and it is possible to commonize and standardize the parts that constitute the movable support means even for many types of electronic components. can be achieved.

Although the above embodiment describes the case where a jack is mounted as an electronic component, electronic components such as a variable resistor, a rotary switch, etc. whose operating shafts protrude from the panel surface can also be mounted in the same manner as described above.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the electronic component 1 is directly movably held on the back panel 3 by mounting screws 14 without using a sub-panel, and a decorative panel 5 is attached to the front of the back panel 3.
You may also place .

In this case, if the number and spacing of the mounting screws 14 are not sufficient, the holding may become unstable or looseness may occur. By filling the backing 16 with maltbrene, neoprene, or the like, the electronic component 1 can be held more reliably.

As described in detail above, the present invention attaches an electronic component to a back panel so as to be movable in the direction of the panel surface using, for example, a movable support means using a mounting screw having a spacer portion, and a protrusion of the electronic component. Since it is fitted into the through hole of the decorative panel provided parallel to the front surface of the back panel, it is possible to provide a high quality electronic device that is easy to assemble and has an excellent appearance.
