Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a panel mounting structure for an electronic device, and more particularly to a panel mounting structure for an electronic device that is prevented from being damaged by an impact.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An example of a conventional panel mounting structure of an electronic device is shown in FIG. The chassis 5 shown in FIG. 4 is formed with a step 5a, and the panel 6 is attached to the step surface 5b in front of the step 5a. That is, with the inner surfaces of the protrusions 6 a, 6 b, 6 c formed on the side surface of the panel 6 in contact with the step surface 5 b, the screw inserted through the screw hole 6 d is screwed into the screw hole 5 c and the panel 6 is moved to the chassis 5. Supported. In this state, the tips of the protrusions 6a, 6b, 6c are in contact with or close to the step 5a.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional panel mounting structure described above, when an object collides with the front surface of the panel 6, the tips of the protrusions 6a, 6b, 6c hit the step 5a, and the impact applied to the panel 6 is not absorbed and the panel 6 is damaged. There was a fear.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device in which damage to the panel is prevented by absorbing an impact when an object collides with the front surface of the panel. It is to provide a panel mounting structure.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Panel mounting structure of an electronic device of the present invention is a panel mounting structure for holding the panel is abutted against an inner surface of the panel to the stepped surface of the front of the step formed in the chassis to the chassis, the first and to the panel sides When the panel is subjected to an impact when a second protrusion is provided, a rib having an inclined surface is provided inside the first protrusion, a hole is provided in the portion of the chassis that faces the second protrusion. Further, when the inclined surface of the rib of the first protrusion comes into contact with the step, the first protrusion is deformed and rides on the step, and the second protrusion can enter the hole. It is a thing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The panel mounting structure of an electronic apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG surface. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a panel mounting structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 (a) is a side view showing a panel in the panel mounting structure, and FIG. 2 (b) is a rear view showing the panel. FIG. 2 and FIG. 2C are cross-sectional views taken along line AA in FIG.
[0008]
A chassis 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a step 1a, and a panel 2 is attached to a step surface 1b in front of the step 1a. That is, with the inner surfaces of the projecting portions 2a, 2b, and 2c formed on the side surface of the panel 2 in contact with the stepped surface 1b, the screw inserted through the screw hole 2d is screwed into the screw hole 1d, and the panel 2 becomes the chassis 1. Supported.
[0009]
As shown in detail in FIG. 2, a rib 2e having an inclined surface at the tip is formed on the inner surface of the protrusion 2c on the side surface of the panel 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, holes 1c and 1c are formed in portions of the step 1a facing the protrusions 2a and 2b.
[0010]
When an object collides with the front surface of the panel 2 with such a panel 2 attached to the chassis 1, the tips of the projecting portions 2a and 2b enter holes 1c and 1c provided in the step 1a. Further, the rib 2e formed on the back surface of the protruding portion 2c rides on the step 1a, whereby the protruding portion 2c is deformed to absorb the impact caused by the collision with the step 1a. In this way, the impact applied to the panel 2 is absorbed and the panel 2 is prevented from being damaged.
[0011]
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a panel mounting structure of an electronic device which is a reference example of the present invention. In this example, holes 3c, 3c, and 3c are formed in portions of the step 3a of the chassis 3 to which the panel 4 is attached, facing the protrusions 4a, 4b, and 4c of the panel 4.
[0012]
With the inner surfaces of the protrusions 4a, 4b and 4c formed on the side surfaces of the panel 4 in contact with the stepped surface 3b, the screws inserted through the screw holes 4d are screwed into the screw holes 3d and the panel 4 is supported by the chassis 3. The
[0013]
When an object collides with the front surface of the panel 4 with such a panel 4 attached to the chassis 3, the tips of the protrusions 4a, 4b, and 4c enter holes 3c, 3c, and 3c provided in the step 3a. In this way, the impact applied to the panel 4 is absorbed and the panel 4 is prevented from being damaged.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
According to the panel mounting structure of the electronic device of the present invention, when the object collides with the front surface of the panel, the impact of the projection of the panel hitting the chassis is absorbed, and the panel is prevented from being damaged.
