Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting device for a switch used in a washing machine or the like, and is particularly suitable for a push button type switch.

In this type of device, a plurality of claw pieces are independently formed on the back surface of the switch mounting panel, and the switch is held in place by pressing the switch against the back surface of the panel. However, in the case of a push-button switch such as a washing machine's water flow selector switch, each time the switch is operated, pressure is applied from the front side of the mounting panel toward the back side, which can cause the claw to extend and cause the switch to fall off. However, in the past, the switch was often fixed to the mounting panel with screws. The present invention allows the switch to be firmly attached so that it will not fall off due to operating force, and will be explained below based on the drawings.

The reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting panel made of one piece of resin that constitutes the front wall of the control box of a twin-tub washing machine. The reference numeral 2 denotes a double push button type switch that switches the washing water flow of the washing machine. The switch has two operating knobs 3, 3 and a mounting plate 4.

Here, the mounting panel 1 has operation knobs 3, 3.
Through holes 5, 5 are provided to expose the surface side,
On the back side, an L-shaped mounting base 6 is provided projecting over a predetermined width, consisting of a horizontal side protruding from the back side at the lower part of the through holes 5, 5, and a vertical side projecting upward at the tip thereof. , a horizontally long frame-shaped mounting frame 7 is provided protruding from the upper part of the through holes 5, 5. Also, on the back side of the mounting panel 1, spacers 8 and 9 are provided at a slightly upper position of the mounting base 6 and a slightly lower position of the mounting frame 7, respectively.
is installed protrudingly. Further, at the upper center of the mounting frame 7, there is a flexible claw piece 10 that protrudes toward the back of the panel.
are integrated.

Incidentally, both sides of the L-shaped mounting base 6 and both sides of the lower spacer 8 are integrated by a wall 11 and are mutually reinforced. Reference numeral 12 denotes a display plate affixed to the surface of the panel 1, which hides the holes for molding the mounting frame and the mounting base.

The switch 2 is mounted on the back surface of the panel 1, and when it is mounted, the upper part of the mounting plate 4 is first placed against the upper spacer 9, and the upper end is inserted into the mounting frame 7 from below, and the claw pieces 10 are pushed upwardly. Then, the lower end of the mounting plate 4 is placed at the inner corner portion 6 formed by the horizontal and vertical sides of the mounting base 6, and is inserted into the inner corner portion 6 while touching the lower spacer 8. Then, the upper end of the mounting plate 4 descends a little, so the claw piece 10 elastically returns to engage with the upper end, presses against it, and presses it in the direction of the mounting plate 6, that is, downward, to prevent it from coming off upward. prevent.

As a result, the switch 2 is stopped by the mounting frame 7 and the vertical sides of the mounting base 6 in the direction in which the operating knobs 3, 3 are pressed, and in the opposite direction by the upper and lower spacers 8, 9, In the direction, claw piece 10
and the horizontal side of the mounting base 6, and horizontally by the mounting frame 7 and the wall 11.

In this way, the switch mounting device according to the present invention has an L-shaped mounting base and a frame-shaped mounting frame facing each other on the back of the mounting panel, and one end of the switch is placed in the inner corner of the mounting base, and the switch and other The end of the switch is inserted into the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is integrally formed with a flexible claw piece that presses the other end of the switch, so when the switch is pressed, it is held down by the mounting frame and the vertical side of the mounting base. In addition, when the switch is inserted into the mounting frame, the claw pieces can prevent the switch from coming off toward the other end. This claw piece bends and escapes when the switch is inserted into the mounting frame, so that it does not interfere with the mounting work.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The operation part of the switch is facing on the front side of the mounting panel, and an L-shaped mounting base and a frame-shaped mounting frame are placed opposite each other on the back side of this mounting panel, and one end of the switch is placed in the inner corner of the mounting base. At the same time, the other end of the switch is inserted into a mounting frame, and the mounting frame is integrally formed with a flexible claw piece that bends and escapes when the other end of the switch is inserted, and then returns to press the other end. mounting device.
