Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic device housing that can be used interchangeably with a plurality of types of mounting mounts.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIG. 5 shows an example of a conventional electronic device housing and mounting mount. In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a housing, and lock bosses 53 protrude from both sides of the housing in the vicinity of a slide groove 51 and a control section 52. The entrance of the slide groove 51 is a wide guide groove 54.

In order to attach the housing 50 to the mounting mount 60, the mounting mount 60 is formed of a metal plate having a U-shaped cross section and has bent portions 61 bent inward at both ends.
The guide groove 54 is inserted into the slide groove of the housing 50 as a guide rail, and the lock lever 62 and the groove 63 are used to lock and hold the lock post 53 in a locked state.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional casing 1 described above has the disadvantage that various types of mounting cannot be supported, and mounting methods are limited.

The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples and to provide an electronic device housing that can be mounted in various ways such as slide mounting, hanging type, and stationary type.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides slide grooves on both sides of the casing, and also provides screw holes embedded in several places on the slide grooves for slide insertion and screw fastening. Both installations are designed to be compatible with the configuration.

Effect: Therefore, according to the present invention, the same housing can be used for a plurality of types of mounting configurations simply by replacing the mounting mount.

EXAMPLES Below, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In Fig. 1, 1 is a box-shaped housing of the radio with a side plate 7, 2 is a control section installed on the front of the radio, in which various parts related to the operation of the radio are gathered, and 3 is a box-shaped housing of the radio, such as the volume. 4 is a connector for a microphone, 5 is a plurality of operation buttons, and 6 is a display such as a liquid crystal display. Reference numeral 7 denotes both side plates of the housing 1, which are formed by die-casting or sheet metal. Reference numeral 8 indicates a slide groove having a constant width in the front-rear direction at approximately the center of the side plate 7, reference numeral 9 indicates a wide arrow-shaped guide groove provided at the entrance of the slide groove 8, and reference numeral 10 indicates a guide groove located on the center line 7a of the guide groove 8. The recesses are provided at three locations, and each recess has a female thread 11 centered at one point on the center line. Reference numeral 12 denotes a locking claw provided almost on an extension of the guide groove 8 of the control unit 2; 13, a lock release button for retracting the locking claw 12 inward; 1;
4 is a heat sink.

On the other hand, the mounting mount 20 has a U-shape that opens upward, and is usually formed by pressing a piece of iron or the like. 21 is a rail portion formed by bending both sides of the mount 20 inward;
22 is a stop plate part provided in the middle of the rail part 21, and the hole 23
have. Reference numeral 24 denotes a holding plate at the rear end of the side plate 20a of the mount 20, and has a holding boss 25 having a diameter that fits into the guide groove 9. Reference numeral 26 denotes a square hole for engaging with the lock pawl 12, which is located on the holding plate 2Ob provided at the front of the mounting mount. Reference numeral 27 indicates an oblong mounting hole for a set screw facing in various directions.

Next, we will explain the installation and operation. The mounting mount 20 is fixed in advance to the vehicle body etc. through the hole 27 with the screw 28, and the housing 1 is slid into the rail section 21 through the slide groove 8 from the left side of the mounting mount 20 as shown in FIG. . As it is inserted, the presser boss 24 engages with the guide groove 9 and is positioned. At the same time, the lock pawl 12, which is urged outward, hits the holding angle 20b and is once retracted inward, and then the lock pawl 12 is fitted into the square hole 26, resulting in a locked state. Furthermore, in order to secure the lock, the screw 29 may be used as a hidden screw to prevent theft by screwing into the female thread lla at the center. To remove the housing 1 from the mounting mount 20, press the lock release button/13 and release the lock claw 12.
is pulled inward and is disengaged from the square hole 26, so it can be pulled out by grasping the control section 2, etc. of the casing 1 and pulling it toward you.

FIG. 2 shows how the mount 20 is screwed onto the side surface 71 of a dash board 70 of an automobile, and the housing 1 is inserted from the front side in the figure and held in a vertical position.

FIG. 3 shows how the mounting mount 2 is attached to the lower surface 72 of the dash board 70, the housing 1 is inserted, and the housing 1 is held in a hanging shape.

FIG. 4 shows a so-called in-dash system that is installed inside the Dalashi board. Datsushi board 70
A pair of standard type brackets 74 are fixed to a part 73 of the housing 1 from both sides with screws 30 to the female screw 11 of the housing 1, and the radio receiver 75 is attached with screws 76 and 77, and the surface is covered with a cover 78 and used from the front. be.

That is, the standard type bracket has a mounting hole at a position corresponding to the center line 7a of the side plate 7 of the housing 1 in consideration of versatility, but in the configuration of the above embodiment, the slide groove 8
Although it has a similar screw hole 11 on the center line, it has the advantage that a ready-made bracket or the like can be easily used.

Furthermore, the housing 1 can be installed upside down, or the bracket can be installed with the vertical direction reversed.

Effects of the Invention As described above with reference to the embodiments, according to the present invention, slide grooves are provided on both sides of the housing of an electronic device such as a radio, and screw holes are buried in one to several locations on the slide groove. With this structure, the screw holes do not get in the way when the mount is inserted, and the screw holes can also be used to hold the casing by bringing another mount to the side and tightening the screws. It can also be used for other purposes. Therefore, the same casing can be used for mounting mounts of various mounting methods, which has the advantage that the casing can be used in various ways, such as a hanging type, a stationary type, or an in-dash type.
