Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a mounting device for a small switch such as a remote control switch.

(b) Conventional technology A switchbox such as a remote control switch is removably attached to a mounting bracket fixed to the wall of a room, and the switch is removed as necessary and used to control the operation of electrical equipment. There are various types of attachment devices.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it has a mounting part 1 that is fixed to the wall of the chamber, and a support plate 2 that is formed at a different level from the mounting part 1 by bending both ends of this mounting part in the same direction. , a support groove 4 is provided on the edge 3 of this support plate.
A device having a structure in which the switch box 5 is attached by engaging the switch box 5 with the two terminals is conventionally known.

(c) Problems that the invention attempts to solve However, recently, electronic components have been converted into ICs,
As the switch itself becomes smaller and it becomes possible to store all the necessary parts in a small and thin switchbox, it becomes difficult to increase the mounting strength of the switchbox by increasing the dimensions of the support plate and support groove. There was a problem.

The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting bracket that can increase the holding strength as much as possible on the back side of a small switchbox, or a mounting bracket that minimizes the portion exposed from the switchbox as much as possible.

(d) Means to solve the problem The present proposal, which was created in view of these points, consists of a mounting part that is fixed to the wall with screws or adhesive, and a mounting part that is fixed to the wall by bending both ends of this mounting part in the same direction. and a pair of support plates formed at different levels to form a mounting bracket,
This mounting bracket has an opening in the support plate, and
The switch box is provided with a protrusion that fits into the opening edge of the other support plate when the sliding groove provided in the box fits into one of the support plates.

(E) Function When the sliding groove of the switchbox is fitted into one support plate of the mounting bracket, the protrusion of this box will also fit into the opening edge of the other support plate, and the switchbox will slide against the pair of support plates. It is supported at three points by the engagement of the groove, the protrusion, and the opening.

(f) Example In Fig. 2, 6 is electrical equipment such as an air conditioner,
Reference numeral 7 denotes a switch box such as a remote control switch for controlling the electrical equipment 6, and 8 a mounting bracket for attaching the switch box 7 near the electrical equipment 6. As will be described later, this mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the wall of the room. When used, it is installed vertically, and when it is fixed to the back wall of indoor equipment such as electrical equipment, it is installed horizontally as shown by the imaginary line.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the mounting bracket 8 has a mounting portion 10 fixed to the wall 9 with screws or adhesive.
It is comprised of a pair of upper and lower support plates 11a and 11b which are formed at different levels from the mounting part 10 by bending both ends of the mounting part 10 in the same direction.
These support plates 11a, 11b have upper and lower edges 13, 1
The length c of 3' is matched with the length d of the edges 14, 14' on both sides. Reference numeral 12 denotes an opening into which a projection (described later) is fitted, and is formed extending from the support plate 11b to the bend 25 of this plate.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a pair of sliding grooves formed on the back surface of the switch box 7, and the dimension e between the grooves is equal to the length c of the upper and lower edges 13, 13' mentioned above and the edges 14, 14' on both sides. The length dimension d of the switch box 7 is made to match the length dimension d of the switch box 7, so that even if the mounting bracket 8 is fixed to a wall 9, etc. in either the vertical direction (not shown) or the horizontal direction (see FIG. 4), the switch box 7 will not slide easily. It is arranged so that it can be connected to the groove 15. 16 is a protrusion formed on the back side of this switch box 7, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
When the mounting bracket 8 is fixed in the horizontal direction as shown in the figure, the support plate 11a above the mounting bracket 8 is
When the sliding groove 15 is fitted into the edge 14 of the
is adapted to fit into the edge of the opening 12 of the lower support plate 11b.

In the mounting device of the present invention having such a structure, the screw holes 19 and 19' are used to attach the back wall 2 of the device.
0 (see FIG. 3), the arm of the mounting bracket 8 and By protruding only the mounting portion 10, the switchbox 7 can be mounted with so-called three-point support, unlike the conventional two-point support using only the sliding groove 4 and the support plate 2 (see Fig. 1).
It is possible to install the switch box 7 while preventing the installation from wobbling or lifting up.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which such a mounting bracket 8 is attached to an air conditioner installation plate 22, and holes 21, 21' for fixing the mounting bracket 8 are provided on either the left or right side of this installation plate 22. , the mounting bracket 8 can be appropriately fixed to either the left or right side of the installation plate 22.

That is, when installing the switch box 7 on the right side of the air conditioner installation plate 22, as shown in FIG. 1
9' is aligned with the hole 21' for fixing the mounting bracket, and both are fixed from the front with screws (not shown). After that, if the sliding groove 15 of the switch box 7 is fitted to the upper support plate 11a, the other support plate 11a
A protrusion 16 is locked to the edge of the opening 12 of b.

On the other hand, when installing the switch box 7 on the left side of the air conditioner installation plate 22, fix it by applying the support plate 11 of the mounting bracket 8 from behind the left side of this installation plate 22, and insert the sliding groove 15 in the support plate 11'. Just fit it together.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, according to the mounting device of the present invention, when the sliding groove of the switchbox is fitted into one support plate of the mounting bracket, the switchbox does not fit into the edge of the opening of the other support plate. Since the switchbox is supported at three points so that the protrusions engage, the switchbox does not spoil the aesthetic appearance when it is locked to the mounting bracket, and the switchbox is small and difficult to form a large support part. Even a switchboard can provide reliable support without lifting up.
