Description

  The present invention relates to a console equipped with a display device with a touch panel, which is installed in a secondary adjustment room used for program production or the like, and a bracket for a touch panel incorporated in the console.

  A conventional console shown in FIG. 8 is provided, and the console 1a is provided on the front side of the apparatus main body 1 with the operation table 1a being substantially horizontal or slightly inclined to the front. A wall 1b is provided, and a CRT display device 2 is mounted on the front wall 1b. In this console, a fixed frame 3 provided with a movable frame 4 movable back and forth is attached to the apparatus main body 1, and a display device 2 is installed on the movable frame 4, and the movable frame 4 is slid. The display device 2 can be pulled out by being moved, or pushed out to the rear of the device main body 1. A stopper 5 is attached to the fixed frame 3, and an operation lever 6 capable of engaging and unlocking the stopper 5 is attached to the rear part of the fixed frame 3. In the display device 2 by CRT, the light from the display screen may be reflected by the operation surface of the operation console 1 and the operation console 1a may be difficult to see. The reflection on the surface is prevented and the eye fatigue of the operator is eliminated (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-219677 (full specification, drawings)

  In the conventional console described above, the display surface of the display device by CRT is moved backward to eliminate reflection on the operation surface and fatigue of the operator's eyes. However, the display device is equipped with a touch panel. If the display device is moved backward from the front wall of the console, the operation surface of the touch panel is also moved backward, which makes it difficult for the operator to operate the touch panel. The stopper mechanism locking and releasing mechanism for fixing the apparatus is provided behind the console, and there is a drawback that it is troublesome to perform the locking or releasing operation of the stopper mechanism.

  Therefore, some consoles equipped with a display device equipped with a touch panel use a liquid crystal display as a display device of the console in order to improve the above-described problems. Some liquid crystal displays can prevent reflection of the operation surface of the operation console and facilitate operation of the touch panel. 9 has a mounting frame 8a fixed to the inside of a panel frame 8 provided on the front wall portion of the console, the rear side of the display device 7 is attached to the front portion of the bracket 9, and is attached to the rear portion of the bracket 9. The display device 7 is mounted on the console by fixing the attached fixing portion 9a to the attachment frame 8a. The display device 7 uses a liquid crystal display as a display device with a touch panel, and projects the operation surface of the touch panel from the front wall of the console to the front of the operator so that the operator can reach out and operate the touch panel easily. It is a thing.

  However, in the console of FIG. 9, since the display device always protrudes from the front wall portion, it may interfere with the operation of switches and the like provided on the panel of the operation table, and the visual field of the adjacent portion of the display device may be disturbed. As a monitoring console, there was room for improvement. In addition, it is desirable in terms of appearance that the console is capable of storing the display device in the front wall of the apparatus body after the operation by the touch panel is completed.
