Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a device for mounting a wireless communication type remote controller (hereinafter, referred to as a remote controller) for remote operation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a wired remote controller in which a water heater installed outdoors and a remote controller mounted on a wall in a bathroom are connected by a cable has been generally used. As shown in FIG. 4, a bathroom remote controller 21 connected to a water heater (not shown) by a cable as shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a through hole 25 penetrating a bathroom wall 23 and an outdoor wall 24 forming a wall 22. The cable wire 27 is passed through the inserted communication pipe 26, the communication pipe 26 is screwed into a boss 28 fixed to the bathroom remote controller 21, and further tightened with a nut 29 from outside to fix the communication pipe 26. Reference numeral 30 denotes a rainwater prevention cap for preventing rainwater from entering the communication pipe 26.
[0003]
However, progress has been made such that a wireless remote controller that is not connected to a water heater by a cable line is installed instead of such a wired remote controller. For this reason, despite the fact that a through hole is already established in the wall so that the water heater and the remote controller in the bathroom can be connected by a cable line in a wired manner, this is closed and a separate wireless communication remote controller is installed on the bathroom wall. Mounting was done.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a bathroom corresponding to the screw mounting portion 32 of the remote controller 31 is used to mount a wireless detachable remote controller again on the installation portion of the conventional bathroom remote controller of the cable line connection method. There is a problem in that a labor for construction is required in which a screw hole 33 is formed in the inner wall surface 23 with a drill or the like and fixed with the screw 34.
[0005]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to use a through hole 25 of a communication pipe 26 when an existing cable line connection type bathroom remote controller 21 is provided, and to provide a newly constructed bathroom with no existing through hole 25. An object of the present invention is to provide a detachable wireless type remote controller mounting device which is excellent in workability only by providing a through hole in the wall.
[0006]
The invention according to claim 2 provides, in addition to the above object, a mounting device for a detachable remote controller in which rainwater does not enter between the fastening nut and the outdoor wall surface.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The detachable mounting device of the wireless remote controller according to the first aspect of the present invention locks the remote controller storage surface of the mounting base, and fits into the wall through hole used in the existing cable line connection type remote controller. after inserting a fixture having a screw groove, in which a structure for fixing the mount to the bathroom wall and screwed into the clamping nut on the end of the outdoor wall surface side of the front Symbol fixture.
[0008]
A detachable mounting device for a wireless remote controller according to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, prevents rainwater from entering between the tightening nut and the outdoor wall surface. A seal material is provided.
[0009]
[Action]
With the above-described configuration, the detachable mounting device of the wireless remote controller of the present invention uses the through-hole used in the existing bathroom remote controller of the cable line connection system, and newly installs the remote controller from the beginning. When installing, insert a fixture with a threaded groove into the newly provided through-hole, and attach the end to the back of the mounting base of the remote controller to tighten the mounting of the mounting base to the bathroom wall. It can be fixed by tightening with the nut.
[0010]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering into the wall from a gap generated between the fastening nut and the outdoor wall surface by the sealing material.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the detachable mounting device for a wireless remote controller according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0012]
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a remote controller that remotely controls a water heater (not shown) installed on a wall or the like outside a house from a bathroom or the like and performs wireless communication for inputting operation signals such as hot water supply and additional water. An example is shown.
[0013]
When the mounting base 2 of the wireless remote controller 1 is newly installed in a new house or the like, the through hole 6 is simply drilled in the bathroom wall surface 4 and the outdoor wall surface 5 constituting the wall 3.
[0014]
Further, in the case of attaching to the existing bathroom remote controller of the cable line connection type which is a wired type, there is already a through hole 6, and the mounting base 2 can be attached to the bathroom wall surface 4 using this through hole 6. it can.
[0015]
A detachable fixing tool 7 is inserted from the rear of the mounting surface of the remote controller housing surface of the mounting base 2, and is passed through the through hole 6. The mounting base 2 can be fixed to the bathroom wall surface 4 by tightening the tightening nut 8 from the outdoor wall surface 5 into the screw groove 7a of the fixture 7.
[0016]
The remote controller 1 includes a transmitter / receiver, an antenna, a battery power source, an input operation unit, a data display unit, and the like necessary for wireless communication with the water heater. Further, the attachment / detachment to / from the mounting base 2 is easy, and the operation according to the attachment / detachment state can be performed.
[0017]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Components having the same numbers as those in FIG. 1 have the same names and have the same functions, and the description thereof will be omitted. When the fastening nut 8 is screwed into the screw groove 7a of the fixture 7 from the outdoor wall surface 5 and fastened, a gap may be generated between the outdoor wall surface 5 and the fastening nut 8 depending on the surface condition. It is conceivable that rainwater infiltrates the wall surface from this gap and corrodes the inside. Therefore, by providing the sealing material 9 between the outdoor wall surface 5 and the fastening nut 8, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the wall.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the detachable mounting device for the wireless remote controller according to the first aspect of the present invention is configured such that the mounting base is fixed by inserting the fixing tool into a through hole provided in a wall. Since it is performed by tightening with a tightening nut, the labor of the construction can be saved without separately drilling a screw hole.
[0019]
Moreover, in the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, since the sealing material is provided between the outdoor wall surface and the fastening nut, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the wall.
