Description

Tape Recorder Cabinet

The present invention relates to a tape recorder, and more particularly, to the construction of a cabinet incorporating components including a deck mechanism.

A tape recorder such as a video cassette recorder (VCR), a camcorder or the like is a device for recording video and audio information or reproducing recorded information while driving a tape, which is a magnetic recording medium, on a predetermined driving path. To this end, the tape recorder includes a head drum for recording and reproducing, and a reel table on which a tape wound cassette is seated, and a pole base for extracting the tape from the cassette and moving it on its driving path. It has a complex deck mechanism consisting of many components such as a pole base.

Accordingly, the tape recorder accommodates and mounts the deck mechanism and the like in a predetermined cabinet for the purpose of stably supporting and supporting the deck mechanism and protecting it from external factors.

Figure 1 schematically shows such a conventional tape recorder cabinet, which shows a substantially box-shaped chassis (Sassis) (S) on which components such as a deck mechanism (not shown) are mounted, and an upper portion of the chassis (S). It is composed of a front panel (P) that is coupled to the front cover (C) and the front surface of the chassis (S) to cover a variety of operation buttons (操作 button B). The chassis (S), the top cover (C) and the front panel (P) are manufactured separately by the respective molds, and then after assembling components such as the deck mechanism at the corresponding positions, the respective fixing tabs Tp (Ts) By coupling to each other through a fastener, such as a set screw (W) through a) to constitute a predetermined cabinet.

However, such a conventional tape recorder cabinet is complicated because the chassis (S), the top cover (C), and the front panel (P) are not only manufactured separately by the respective molds, but also need to be coupled to each other by separate fasteners. Fabrication is very difficult and complicated, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is greatly increased because of a lot of assembly labor.

The present invention is conceived in view of the above-described conventional problems, the purpose of which is to fabricate and assemble the chassis, the top cover and the front panel integrally, greatly reducing the number of components, each component without a separate fastener It is to provide a cabinet of tape recorders that can be assembled easily.

In order to achieve the above object, the cabinet of the tape recorder according to the present invention includes a chassis in which components such as a deck mechanism are installed, a top cover installed at an upper portion of the chassis, and a front side of the chassis, and operation buttons are provided. A cabinet of a tape recorder having a front panel to be installed, wherein the first connecting piece is formed integrally and bent between the upper end of the rear side wall of the chassis and the rear end of the top cover, and integrally formed and bent between the front end of the chassis and the lower end of the front panel. A plurality of connecting tabs each having a second connecting piece to be formed, a plurality of first locking protrusions formed on the inner surfaces of the two side walls of the chassis, and a locking hole extending from a skirt of the front panel to which the corresponding locking protrusions of the chassis fit; And formed in two flanges of the top cover and elastically fitted in corresponding fixing holes formed in the two side walls of the chassis. Li is characterized in that the configuration comprises an a plurality of second barriers.

According to one preferred feature of the present invention, the first and the second connection piece is formed to be thinner than the thickness of the chassis, the top cover and the front panel is configured to be easily bent during assembly.

Accordingly, the present invention is not only composed of the chassis, the top cover, and the front panel, but also the cabinet can be easily assembled without a separate fastening device, and thus, the tape recorder has a great effect on manufacturing, assembling, and cost reduction. .

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a tape recorder cabinet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, the cabinet 1 of the tape recorder according to the present invention includes a chassis 2 in which components such as a deck mechanism (not shown) are installed therein, and a top cover coupled to an upper portion of the chassis 2. (3) and the front panel 4, which is installed on the front of the chassis 2, is provided with operation buttons (not shown).

According to a feature of the present invention, a bendable first connecting piece 13 is integrally formed between the upper end of the rear side wall 6 of the chassis 2 and the rear end of the top cover 3, and the front end of the chassis 2 and Between the lower end of the front panel 4, the bendable second connection piece 14 is integrally formed with both, so that the chassis 2, the top cover 3, and the front panel 4 are integrally formed. The first and second connection pieces 13 and 14 are folded in the configuration of the cabinet 1, and have a suitable width so as to minimize the bending stress, and the chassis 2 and the top cover 3 and It is preferable to be made thinner than the thickness of the front panel 4.

A support (9) is preferably formed at the front end of the chassis (2), and first locking projections (10) are formed on the inner surfaces of the two side walls (5) and the upper surfaces of both sides of the support (9), respectively. Accordingly, the plurality of connecting tabs 11 each having a locking hole 11a through which the first locking projections 10 of the corresponding chassis 2 are fitted into the skirt 8 of the front panel 4 extends to an appropriate length. It is formed.

Meanwhile, a plurality of fixing holes 5a are formed at upper ends of the two side walls 5 of the chassis 2, and fixing holes 5a of the chassis 2 are formed at the two flanges 7 of the top cover 3, respectively. A plurality of second locking projections 12 are elastically fitted to each other are formed. This second locking projection 12 is preferably configured in a hemispherical shape for easy assembly of the top cover 3 to the fixing hole (5a) in the chassis (2). The remaining code 5b is a heat radiation hole formed in the two side walls 5 of the chassis 2.

The assembly method of the inventive tape recorder cabinet 1 configured as described above will be described in parallel with FIG. 3.

First, the relevant components including the deck mechanism are mounted in the chassis 2. In this state, as shown in FIG. 3A, the front panel 4 is rotated about the second connecting piece 14. Then, the second connecting piece 14 is folded and the front panel 4 is in close contact with the front of the chassis (2). Accordingly, the connection tabs 11 of the front panel 4 are in sliding contact with the first locking protrusions 10 of the chassis 2 to be elastically deformed, so that the first locking protrusions 10 of the chassis 2 correspond to each other. Each of the tabs 11 is fitted into the engaging holes 11a, and the connection tabs 11 are restored to their initial state, so that the assembly of the front panel 4 and the chassis 2 is completed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the top cover 3 is rotated toward the chassis 2 with respect to the first connecting piece 13. Then, the first connection piece 13 is folded and the top turbine 3 is in close contact with the upper end of the chassis (2). Accordingly, the second locking projections 12 of the top cover 3 are in sliding contact with the side wall 5 of the chassis 2 so that the flange 7 is elastically deformed, and then restored, so that the second locking projections 12 are restored. Is fitted into the fixing holes 5a of the corresponding chassis 2, so that the assembly of the top cover 3 is completed.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the chassis, the top cover, and the front panel are integrally formed and assembled, the manufacturing work can be significantly reduced. In addition, the assembly of the cabinet can also be easily assembled together without having a separate fastening tool as in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention can greatly improve the manufacturability of the tape recorder, as well as an excellent effect of significantly reducing the assembly labor and manufacturing cost.
