Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は電子機器のパネル駆動機構に係わり、特に、パネルの下端部を水平方向に移動させることにより電子機器本体の前面をパネルで開閉するパネル駆動機構に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、本体前面に記録媒体を出し入れする記録媒体挿入口が設けられた音響機器等で本体前面を開閉するパネルを設けたものが知られている。図９にそのような音響機器のパネル駆動機構の例を示す。図９に示すスライダ１１は音響機器本体３に水平方向移動自在に支持されており、図示していない駆動機構により水平方向に駆動される。
【０００３】
パネル１０の下端部はスライダ１１の軸１１ａに回動自在に支持されており、パネル１０の上端部に設けられた軸１０ａは音響機器本体３に設けられた縦溝３ａと係合している。図９はスライダ１１が前方に移動してパネル１０が水平状態となり、音響機器３の前面が開かれた状態を示している。
【０００４】
パネル１０を音響機器３の前面覆う位置に移動させるときは、スライダ１１を後方に駆動するが、パネル１０が水平状態では軸１１ａはパネル１０の上端を持ち上げる力を加えることができないため、スライダ１１の移動初期において、アーム１２により軸１０ａを持ち上げる。
【０００５】
このようにしてパネル１０が傾斜すると、スライダ１１の軸１１ａによりパネル１０の軸１０ａを縦溝３ａに沿って持ち上げる力が加わり、スライダ１１が後端まで移動することにより、パネル１０は垂直状態とされて音響機器本体３の前面を覆う。このパネル駆動機構ではアーム１２およびその駆動機構を必要として機構が複雑となると共に必要スペースが大きくなるという問題があった。
【０００６】
図１０に従来の音響機器のパネル駆動機構の他の例を示す。図１０において、図９に示す部材と同じ部材には同一の符号が付されており、その詳細な説明を省略する。この例では音響機器本体１３の縦溝１３ａの下端部は前方に曲がっており、縦溝１３ａと係合する軸１０ａは縦溝１３ａの下端部により上方に案内されるので、スライダ１１のみで図１０に示す状態から音響機器本体１３の前面を覆う位置に移動させることができる。
【０００７】
この例では軸１０ａを持ち上げるためのアームを必要としないが、パネル１０を水平状態とするときに前方に大きく突出させなければならず、例えば、車載用機器の場合はシフトレバーと干渉することもあった。
【０００８】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明は上記した点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、パネルを前方に大きく突出させることがなく、しかも簡単な機構でパネルを機器本体の前面を覆う位置と機器本体の前面を開く位置との間で駆動できる電子機器のパネル駆動機構を提供することにある。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の電子機器のパネル駆動機構は、パネルの上端部に設けた軸を電子機器本体に設けた縦溝に係合させ、前記パネルの下端部を回動自在に支持したスライダを水平方向に駆動することにより、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を覆う位置と、前面を開く位置との間で駆動する電子機器のパネル駆動機構において、前記スライダとパネルとの一方に設けた長穴を他方に設けた軸と係合させると共に前記スライダとパネルとの一方に設けた凸部を他方に設けた傾斜面を有する凹みに嵌合可能とし、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を開く位置から覆う位置に駆動する行程の初期において前記傾斜面と前記凸部との圧接力により前記パネルの上端部に設けた軸を前記縦溝内で上方に移動させるように構成したものである。
【００１０】
また、この発明の電子機器のパネル駆動機構は、パネルの上端部に設けた軸を電子機器本体に設けた縦溝に係合させ、前記パネルの下端部を回動自在に支持したスライダを水平方向に駆動することにより、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を覆う位置と、前面を開く位置との間で駆動する電子機器のパネル駆動機構において、前記スライダとパネルとの一方に設けた長穴を他方に設けた軸と係合させると共に前記スライダとパネルとの一方に設けた傾斜面を有する凸部を他方に設けた穴に嵌合可能とし、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を開く位置から覆う位置に駆動する行程の初期において前記傾斜面と前記穴の縁との圧接力により前記パネルの上端部に設けた軸を前記縦溝内で上方に移動させるように構成したものである。
【００１１】
さらに、この発明の電子機器のパネル駆動機構は、パネルの上端部に設けた軸を電子機器本体に設けた縦溝に係合させ、前記パネルの下端部を回動自在に支持したスライダを水平方向に駆動することにより、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を覆う位置と、前面を開く位置との間で駆動する電子機器のパネル駆動機構において、前記スライダとパネルとの一方に設けた長穴を他方に設けた軸と係合させると共に前記スライダとパネルとの夫々に凸部を設け、前記凸部の少なくとも一方に傾斜面を形成し、前記パネルを電子機器本体の前面を開く位置から覆う位置に駆動する行程の初期において前記一方の凸部の傾斜面と他方の凸部との圧接力により前記パネルの上端部に設けた軸を前記縦溝内で上方に移動させるように構成したものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施例である音響機器の適用されたパネル駆動機構を図面に基づいて説明する。図１〜図３はこの発明の第１の実施例である音響機器のパネル駆動機構を示す。
【００１３】
図１〜図３に示すスライダ２は音響機器本体３に水平方向移動自在に支持されており、図示していない駆動機構により水平方向に駆動される。パネル１の下端部に設けられた長穴１ｂにスライダ２に立設された軸２ａが嵌合しており、パネル１の下端部はスライダ２に摺動自在かつ回動自在に支持されている。
【００１４】
パネル１の上端部に設けられた軸１ａは音響機器本体３に設けられた縦溝３ａと係合している。スライダ２に設けられた凸部２ｂはパネル１に形成された後方に傾斜面を有する凹み１ｃに突入可能となっている。なお、上記した軸２ａ等の部材はパネル１の両側部に設けられている。
【００１５】
図１はスライダ２が前方に移動してパネル１が水平状態となり、音響機器３の前面が開かれた状態を示している。図１に示す状態からスライダ２が後退すると、図２に示すように軸２ａが長穴１ｂの後方に移動すると共に凸部２ｂが凹み１ｃの傾斜面を押してパネル１の後方が持ち上げられ、軸１ａは縦溝３ａ内で上方に移動する。
【００１６】
このようにパネル１が傾斜した状態では軸２ａがパネル１の下端部に作用する力はパネル１の軸１ａを縦溝３ａ内で上方に押し上げる方向に作用してスライダ２が後退することによりパネル１を図３に示す音響機器本体３の前面を覆う位置に移動させることができる。
【００１７】
このようにパネル１を前方に大きく突出させることがなく、しかもスライダ２の動きのみでパネル１を駆動することができる。なお、スライダ２に傾斜面を有する凹みを設け、パネル１にその凹みに突入する凸部を設けてもよい。
【００１８】
図４〜図６はこの発明の第２の実施例である音響機器のパネル駆動機構を示す。図４〜図６に示すスライダ５は音響機器本体３に水平方向移動自在に支持されており、図示していない駆動機構により水平方向に駆動される。パネル４の下端部に設けられた長穴４ｂにスライダ５に立設された軸５ａが嵌合しており、パネル４の下端部はスライダ５に摺動自在かつ回動自在に支持されている。
【００１９】
パネル４の上端部に設けられた軸４ａは音響機器本体３に設けられた縦溝３ａと係合している。スライダ５に設けられた穴５ｂにはパネル４に形成された後方に傾斜面を有する凸部４ｃがに突入可能となっている。なお、上記した軸５ａ等の部材はパネル４の両側部に設けられている。
【００２０】
図４はスライダ５が前方に移動してパネル４が水平状態となり、音響機器３の前面が開かれた状態を示している。図４に示す状態からスライダ５が後退すると、図５に示すように軸５ａが長穴４ｂの後方に移動すると共に凸部４ｃの傾斜面が穴５ｂの縁に押されパネル４の後方が持ち上げられ、軸４ａは縦溝３ａ内で上方に移動する。
【００２１】
このようにパネル４が傾斜した状態では軸５ａがパネル４の下端部に作用する力はパネル４の軸４ａを縦溝３ａ内で上方に押し上げる方向に作用してスライダ５が後退することによりパネル４を図６に示す音響機器本体３の前面を覆う位置に移動させることができる。
【００２２】
このようにパネル４を前方に大きく突出させることがなく、しかもスライダ５の動きのみでパネル４を駆動することができる。なお、スライダ４に傾斜面を有する凸部を設け、パネル４にその凸部を突入させる穴を設けてもよい。
【００２３】
図７はこの発明の第３の実施例である音響機器のパネル駆動機構の部分を示す。この例ではパネル６に前方に傾斜面を有する凸部６ａが形成されており、スライダ７に前記凸部６ａと当接する凸部７ａが形成されている。
【００２４】
図７に図示していないが、第１および第２の実施例と同様にスライダ７は音響機器本体に水平方向移動自在に支持されており、図示していない駆動機構により水平方向に駆動される。パネル６の下端部に設けられた長穴にスライダ７に立設された軸が嵌合しており、パネル６の下端部はスライダ７に摺動自在かつ回動自在に支持されている。また、パネル６の上端部に設けられた軸は音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝と係合している。
【００２５】
図７（ａ）はスライダ７が前方に移動してパネル６が水平状態となり、音響機器の前面が開かれた状態を示している。図７（ａ）に示す状態からスライダ７が後退すると、図７（ｂ）に示すようにスライダ７がパネル６に対して後方に移動すると共に凸部７ａが凸部６ａの傾斜面を押してパネル６の後方が持ち上げられ、パネル６の上端部に設けられた軸は音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝内で上方に移動する。
【００２６】
このようにパネル６が傾斜した状態ではスライダ７がパネル６の下端部に作用する力はパネル６の軸を音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝内で上方に押し上げる方向に作用してスライダ７が後退することによりパネル６を音響機器本体の前面を覆う位置に移動させることができる。
【００２７】
図８はこの発明の第４の実施例である音響機器のパネル駆動機構をの部分を示す。この例ではパネル８に凸部８ａが形成されており、スライダ９に後方に傾斜面を有し凸部８ａと当接する凸部９ａが形成されている。
【００２８】
図８に図示していないが、第１および第２の実施例と同様にスライダ９は音響機器本体に水平方向移動自在に支持されており、図示していない駆動機構により水平方向に駆動される。パネル８の下端部に設けられた長穴にスライダ９に立設された軸が嵌合しており、パネル８の下端部はスライダ９に摺動自在かつ回動自在に支持されている。また、パネル８の上端部に設けられた軸は音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝と係合している。
【００２９】
図８（ａ）はスライダ９が前方に移動してパネル８が水平状態となり、音響機器の前面が開かれた状態を示している。図８（ａ）に示す状態からスライダ９が後退すると、図８（ｂ）に示すようにスライダ９がパネル８に対して後方に移動すると共に凸部９ａの傾斜面が凸部８ａを押してパネル８の後方が持ち上げられ、パネル８上端部に設けられた軸は音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝内で上方に移動する。
【００３０】
このようにパネル８が傾斜した状態ではスライダ９がパネル８の下端部に作用する力はパネル８の軸を音響機器本体に設けられた縦溝内で上方に押し上げる方向に作用してスライダ９が後退することによりパネル８を音響機器本体の前面を覆う位置に移動させることができる。なお、凸部８ａの凸部９ａと当接する部分も傾斜面としてもよい。
【００３１】
実施例はこの発明を音響機器に適用した場合について説明したが、この発明をナビゲーション装置等他の電子機器に適用することも可能である。
【００３２】
【発明の効果】
この発明の電子機器のパネル駆動機構によれば、パネルを前方に大きく突出させることがなく、しかもスライダの動きのみでパネルを駆動することができ機構が簡単となり、しかも省スペース化が達成される。

Claims

An axis provided on the upper end of the panel is engaged with a longitudinal groove provided on the electronic device main body, and a slider that rotatably supports the lower end of the panel is driven in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the panel to move to the electronic device main body. In a panel drive mechanism of an electronic device that is driven between a position that covers the front surface and a position that opens the front surface, a long hole provided in one of the slider and the panel is engaged with a shaft provided in the other and the slider In the initial stage of the step of driving the panel from the position where the front surface of the electronic device body is covered to the position where the front surface of the electronic device body is covered, the inclined surface can be fitted into the recess having the inclined surface provided on the other side. A panel drive mechanism of an electronic device configured to move an axis provided at an upper end portion of the panel upward in the vertical groove by a pressure contact force between the projection and the convex portion.

An axis provided on the upper end of the panel is engaged with a longitudinal groove provided on the electronic device main body, and a slider that rotatably supports the lower end of the panel is driven in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the panel to move to the electronic device main body. In a panel drive mechanism of an electronic device that is driven between a position that covers the front surface and a position that opens the front surface, a long hole provided in one of the slider and the panel is engaged with a shaft provided in the other and the slider In the initial stage of the process of driving the panel from the position where the front surface of the electronic device main body is covered to the position where the convex portion having the inclined surface provided on one side of the panel and the panel can be fitted into the hole provided on the other side. A panel drive mechanism of an electronic device configured to move an axis provided at an upper end portion of the panel upward in the vertical groove by a pressure contact force between the edge and the edge of the hole.

An axis provided on the upper end of the panel is engaged with a longitudinal groove provided on the electronic device main body, and a slider that rotatably supports the lower end of the panel is driven in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the panel to move to the electronic device main body. In a panel drive mechanism of an electronic device that is driven between a position that covers the front surface and a position that opens the front surface, a long hole provided in one of the slider and the panel is engaged with a shaft provided in the other and the slider And at least one of the convex portions, and at least one of the convex portions is formed with an inclined surface, and the one convex portion at an initial stage of driving the panel from a position where the front surface of the electronic device main body is opened to the cover. A panel drive mechanism for an electronic device configured to move an axis provided at an upper end portion of the panel upward in the vertical groove by a pressing force between the inclined surface of the first projection and the other convex portion.
