Description

本発明は，吸込み口に開閉可能で着脱可能なグリル構造を有する天井吊り形や床置形の空気調和機における上記グリルの着脱構造に関し，特に，確実に閉止操作することの出来るグリル機構を備えた空気調和機に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a structure for attaching and detaching the above-mentioned grill in a ceiling-suspended or floor-mounted air conditioner having a detachable grill structure that can be opened and closed at a suction port, and in particular, includes a grill mechanism that can be reliably closed and closed. It relates to air conditioners.

従来より，空気調和機では，吸込口に開閉可能且つ着脱可能なグリル構造を有する天井吊り形や床置形のものがある。このような空気調和機においては，グリルやこれに取り付けたエアフィルタが塵埃で汚れるので，適時，グリル及びエアフィルタを空気調和機から取り外し，掃除する必要がある。しかしながらこのような作業はユーザ自身が行わねばならないので，簡易で且つ分かりやすく，負担の小さいものでなければならない。
このようなグリルを着脱自在とした空気調和機としては，特許文献１や，特許文献２に従来より開示されている。これらはいずれも，グリルの一端部をヒンジ構造でキャビネット（空気調和機本体）に取り付けると共に，グリル他端部をフック部材などでキャビネットに係合自在に取り付けるようにしたものである。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, air conditioners include a ceiling-suspended type and a floor-mounted type having a grille structure that can be opened and closed at a suction port. In such an air conditioner, the grill and the air filter attached thereto are contaminated with dust. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the grill and the air filter from the air conditioner and clean them when appropriate. However, since such work must be performed by the user himself, it must be simple, easy to understand, and less burdensome.
As an air conditioner in which such a grill is detachable, it has been conventionally disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. In either of these, one end of the grill is attached to the cabinet (air conditioner main body) with a hinge structure, and the other end of the grill is attached to the cabinet with a hook member or the like.

上記のように空気調和機のグリルに用いられるヒンジの構造としては，簡易で且つ分かりやすく，着脱時にユーザに対する負担の小さい構造を目指す必要があるが，上記特許文献１に記載されたグリル構造においては，断面略Ｓ字状で柔軟な材質から構成され，グリルの約全長に渡り取り付けられるヒンジ部材１８が用いられている。詳細には，特許文献の図２，図３を参照されたい。またこのヒンジ部材は，それ自身上記のように柔軟な材質から構成されているため，これを長手方向に押し縮めることで，キャビネットの吸込み口両端に設けた係合孔に上記ヒンジ部を取り付けるようにしている。
また係止部側の構造については，摺動自在の係止部材２０ｂを設け，グリルの閉止時に，この係止部材の一部に設けられたフック部材２０をキャビンットの一部に設けたヒンジ着脱部に係合させることで，グリルをキャビネットに固定するようにしている。 As described above, the hinge structure used in the grill of the air conditioner needs to be a simple and easy-to-understand structure that has a small burden on the user when attaching and detaching. However, in the grill structure described in Patent Document 1, Is made of a flexible material having a substantially S-shaped cross section, and a hinge member 18 attached over the entire length of the grill is used. For details, refer to FIGS. 2 and 3 in the patent literature. Since the hinge member itself is made of a flexible material as described above, the hinge part is attached to the engagement holes provided at both ends of the suction port of the cabinet by pressing and contracting the hinge member in the longitudinal direction. I have to.
As for the structure on the locking part side, a slidable locking member 20b is provided, and when the grill is closed, a hook member 20 provided in a part of the locking member is provided in a part of the cabin. The grill is fixed to the cabinet by engaging with the part.

また特許文献２用いられているヒンジ部の構造は，グリル１０の一端に，柔軟な材質よりなる枠体１５の先端に半球形状の突起１５ｃを形成し，この突起１５ｃをキャビネットの一端部に設けたブラケット５ｅとグリル係止部４ｄとの間に挟みこんで固定することで，グリル１０を開閉自在に取り付けるものである。かかるヒンジ部の詳細については，同文献の図２，図３及び第３５段落を参照されたい。
また係止部の構造としては，グリル１０の端部に摺動自在のフック部材２３が設けられ，このフック部材２３がキャビネット側に設けられた係合孔４ａに差し込まれて，キャビネットの一部と係合することで，グリル１０を閉止状態で固定するものである。上記フック部材２３或いは係合孔４ａの構造については，同文献の図７，図１２，図１３を参照することで理解される。
特開平７−２６０１９４公報特開平７−２６９９３４公報 Further, in the structure of the hinge portion used in Patent Document 2, a hemispherical projection 15c is formed at one end of the grill 10 at the tip of a frame 15 made of a flexible material, and this projection 15c is provided at one end of the cabinet. The grill 10 is attached so as to be openable and closable by being sandwiched and fixed between the bracket 5e and the grill engaging portion 4d. For details of such a hinge portion, refer to FIGS.
Further, as a structure of the locking portion, a slidable hook member 23 is provided at the end of the grill 10, and this hook member 23 is inserted into an engagement hole 4a provided on the cabinet side so as to be a part of the cabinet. The grill 10 is fixed in a closed state. The structure of the hook member 23 or the engagement hole 4a can be understood by referring to FIGS. 7, 12, and 13 of the same document.
JP 7-260194 A JP-A-7-269934

上記のように特許文献１に記載されたヒンジ構造では，ヒンジ部材は柔軟な材質により構成されているので，グリルに小さい力が作用する範囲では，良好なヒンジ作用を発揮することが可能であるが，材質が柔軟であるが故に，多少大きい力が係ると，上記ヒンジ部材が係合していた係合孔から容易に脱落してしまい，あるいは上記ヒンジ部材が損傷して使い物にならなくなるという欠点を内蔵するものであった。 As described above, in the hinge structure described in Patent Document 1, since the hinge member is made of a flexible material, it can exhibit a good hinge action in a range where a small force acts on the grill. However, because the material is flexible, if a relatively large force is applied, the hinge member can easily fall out of the engaging hole, or the hinge member can be damaged and become unusable. It had a built-in defect.

また同文献１に示された係止部の構造においては，係止部材の摺動方向に直角の方向には遊びが大きいので，その摺動時にガタが発生することが否めず，また摺動の前後でクリック感を得られる構造ともなっていないので，ユーザにとっては係止部材をどこまで摺動させたらキャビネットとの係合が完成するのか分からず，いたずらに係止部材を一方に押す作業を続けざるを得ないという問題がある。
さらに特許文献２についてヒンジ構造を考えると，この場合もヒンジ部材が柔軟な半球状に構成され，そのような柔軟な半球状突起１５ｃを単に挟み込むだけでキャビネットに取り付けているので，若干大きい力が上記グリルに掛かっただけで，グリルそのものが容易にキャビネットから脱落してしまう可能性がある。またグリルの取付時に，グリルを支えておくものがないので，上記半球部が確かにキャビネットの一部で挟み込まれるまでは，別の作業者がグリルを支えておかないと，その取付作業を遂行することが出来ず，手間のかかる取付作業を必要とするものであった。またこのようなグリルを支える作業は力が必要で，ユーザに負担を強いるものであった。 Further, in the structure of the locking portion shown in the same document 1, since play is large in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the locking member, it is unavoidable that play is generated at the time of sliding. It is not designed to provide a click feeling before and after, so the user does not know how far the locking member is slid to complete the engagement with the cabinet, and continues to push the locking member in one direction. There is a problem that it must be.
Further, considering the hinge structure in Patent Document 2, in this case as well, the hinge member is configured in a flexible hemispherical shape and is attached to the cabinet simply by sandwiching such a flexible hemispherical protrusion 15c. There is a possibility that the grill itself can easily fall off the cabinet just by hanging on the grill. Also, since there is nothing to support the grill when installing the grill, the installation work will be performed unless another worker supports the grill until the hemispherical part is surely sandwiched by a part of the cabinet. It was not possible to do so, and it took a laborious installation work. Also, the work of supporting such a grill requires a lot of force and places a burden on the user.

さらに，同特許文献２に記載の係止部の構造も，係止部材の摺動方向に直角の方向に遊びが多いので，その摺動時におけるガタの発生を阻止することが出来ない。また摺動の前後でクリック感を得られる構造ともなっていないので，ユーザにとっては係止部材をどこまで摺動させたらキャビネットとの係合が完成するのか分かりにくい構造となっていた。
本発明は上記したような従来の空気調和機におけるグリル取付構造の問題点を解決できる手段を提供することを目的とするものである。 Further, the structure of the locking portion described in Patent Document 2 also has a lot of play in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the locking member, and therefore cannot prevent the occurrence of backlash during the sliding. In addition, since it is not structured to obtain a click feeling before and after sliding, it is difficult for the user to know how far the locking member is slid to complete the engagement with the cabinet.
The object of the present invention is to provide means for solving the problems of the grill mounting structure in the conventional air conditioner as described above.

まず本発明の一実施形態に係るグリル取付構造を備えた空気調和機全体の構造について，図１，図２，図５を参照して説明する。この空気調和機Ａは，図に示されるように，キャビネット１（筐体の一例）の表面に形成された吸込口２ａを自在に開閉するグリル２の隙間から，キャビネット１内に設けた送風機３の働きで室内空気ａを吸込み，熱交換器４にてその室内空気ａの持つ熱を交換した後，上方の吹出口５から再び室内に戻すことにより，室内空気を調整するものである。吹出口５には，空気の吹出し方向を規制する横ルーバ６が設けられ，吹き出し空気の方向が調整可能である。 First, the structure of the whole air conditioner provided with the grille attachment structure concerning one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG.1, FIG.2, FIG.5. As shown in the figure, the air conditioner A includes a blower 3 provided in the cabinet 1 through a gap of a grill 2 that freely opens and closes a suction port 2a formed on the surface of the cabinet 1 (an example of a casing). After the indoor air a is sucked by the action of the above, the heat of the indoor air a is exchanged by the heat exchanger 4, and then returned to the room from the upper outlet 5 to adjust the room air. The air outlet 5 is provided with a horizontal louver 6 that regulates the air blowing direction, and the direction of the blown air can be adjusted.

上記室内空気ａを取り入れる吸込口７に設けられたグリル２の裏面には，エアフィルタ８が取付けられており，室内空気ａに含まれているチリ，埃などをろ過する。グリル２は，このエアフィルタ８の清掃や空気調和機のメンテナンスなどのために，しばしば開閉され，或いは吸込口７から取り外される。
この種の空気調和機は，床置きだけでなく，天井にも吊り下げて取り付けられる。このため，グリル２の着脱，開閉構造は安全にかつ確実に機能する必要がある。また，着脱はユーザが行うことになるので，簡単且つ分かり易いものでなければならない。この要求を満足し，かつ清掃，工事時の着脱のし易い新たな構造を以下に提供する。 An air filter 8 is attached to the back surface of the grill 2 provided in the suction port 7 for taking in the indoor air a, and filters dust, dust, etc. contained in the indoor air a. The grill 2 is often opened and closed or removed from the suction port 7 for cleaning the air filter 8 and maintaining the air conditioner.
This type of air conditioner is installed not only on the floor but also on the ceiling. For this reason, the attachment / detachment / opening / closing structure of the grill 2 needs to function safely and reliably. In addition, since the user attaches and detaches, it must be simple and easy to understand. A new structure that satisfies this requirement and is easy to remove and attach during cleaning and construction is provided below.

まず上記グリル２を上記吸込口７に開閉自在に取り付けるヒンジ構造について説明する。図としては，図４〜１０が参照される。
グリル２はキャビネット１の吸込口７の下縁部にヒンジ部材９（図６参照）を介して回動自在に取り付けられる。上記ヒンジ部材９を上記吸込口７の下縁部の所定の位置に固定するために，上記吸込口９の下縁部を形成する図７のフレーム１−ａに，一対の位置決め用切り欠き１−ｂが形成されている。尚，上記各対の位置決め用切り欠き１−ｂ，１−ｂ間には，ネジ孔１−ｃが形成されている。
この実施形態では上記一対の位置決め用切り欠き１−ｂは合計４対形成されている（図５は，４対の位置決め用切り欠き１−ｂに，ヒンジ部材９がそれぞれ取り付けられている様子を示している）。
上記位置決め用切り欠き１−ｂに取り付けられるヒンジ部材９の詳細について図８を用いてここで説明する。 First, a hinge structure for attaching the grill 2 to the suction port 7 so as to be opened and closed will be described. For illustration, reference is made to FIGS.
The grill 2 is rotatably attached to the lower edge portion of the suction port 7 of the cabinet 1 via a hinge member 9 (see FIG. 6). In order to fix the hinge member 9 at a predetermined position on the lower edge portion of the suction port 7, a pair of positioning notches 1 are formed on the frame 1-a of FIG. 7 that forms the lower edge portion of the suction port 9. -B is formed. A screw hole 1-c is formed between the pair of positioning notches 1-b and 1-b.
In this embodiment, a total of four pairs of the positioning notches 1-b are formed (FIG. 5 shows a state in which the hinge members 9 are respectively attached to the four pairs of positioning notches 1-b. Shown).
Details of the hinge member 9 attached to the positioning notch 1-b will be described with reference to FIG.

ヒンジ部材９は，横から見て略への字状に屈曲し，中央部にネジ孔９−ｄが形成されたネジ止め部材９−ｂを中心として構成され，このネジ止め部材９−ｂの先端は２又状に（２つの翼部９−ｇ，９−ｇに）分かれており，それぞれの翼部９ｇの先端側部には，それぞれ水平方向のヒンジ軸部９−ｆが外方向へ突出して形成されている。
更に上記ネジ止め部材９−ｂの上記ヒンジ軸部９−ｆが形成された端部とは反対側の端部には，このネジ止め部材９−ｂの下面より更に下方に垂直方向に突出した１対の引っ掛け爪９−ｃ，９−ｃが形成されている。
また，上記ネジ止め部材９−ｂの上記一対の引っ掛け爪９−ｃ，９−ｃの間には，ヒンジ部材９のキャビネット１への着脱時にヒンジ部材９を手で扱いやすくするためのリブ９−ｅが上方に突出して設けられている。 The hinge member 9 is bent around a substantially square shape when viewed from the side, and is configured around a screwing member 9-b in which a screw hole 9-d is formed at the center, and the screwing member 9-b The tip is divided into two halves (two wings 9-g and 9-g), and a horizontal hinge shaft portion 9-f is outward on the tip side of each wing 9g. Protrusively formed.
Further, the end of the screw member 9-b opposite to the end where the hinge shaft portion 9-f is formed protrudes vertically below the lower surface of the screw member 9-b. A pair of hooking claws 9-c and 9-c are formed.
A rib 9 is provided between the pair of hook claws 9-c and 9-c of the screwing member 9-b so that the hinge member 9 can be easily handled by hand when the hinge member 9 is attached to and detached from the cabinet 1. -E protrudes upward.

上記ヒンジ軸部９−ｆを保持する（保持作用については後述する）ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１は，図９に示すように全体として金属製或いはプラスチックの板材からなり，上面から見て全体として１対の左右翼部１１−ａ，１１−ａと，この左右翼部１１−ａ，１１−ａを連結する連結部１１−ｃとから平面視で概略コ字状に形成されている。上記各左右翼部１１−ａには，その端部から内側へそれぞれ軸抑え爪１１−ｄ，１１−ｄが突出して形成されている。
上記連結部１１−ｃの各端部にはネジ孔１１−ｅ，１１−ｅがそれぞれ形成されている。また，上記コ字状のヒンジ押さえ板１１の連結部１１−ｃには，エアフィルタを固定するためのエアフィルタ押さえ１１−ｂが形成されている。これによって部品の兼用がなされ，部品点数の減少に役立っている。 The hinge shaft pressing plate 11 that holds the hinge shaft portion 9-f (the holding action will be described later) is made of a metal or plastic plate as a whole as shown in FIG. The left and right wing parts 11-a and 11-a and the connecting part 11-c that connects the left and right wing parts 11-a and 11-a are formed in a substantially U shape in plan view. The left and right wing parts 11-a are respectively formed with shaft holding claws 11-d and 11-d projecting inwardly from their end parts.
Screw holes 11-e and 11-e are formed in the respective end portions of the connecting portion 11-c. In addition, an air filter holder 11-b for fixing the air filter is formed at the connecting portion 11-c of the U-shaped hinge holding plate 11. As a result, parts can be shared, which helps to reduce the number of parts.

ここで，上記ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１が取り付けられるグリル２側の構造を説明しておく。
即ち，図４−（ｂ）に示されるように，グリル２の下端は，側断面でＬ字状に形成された鉤部２−ａを備えている。またグリル２には上記鉤部２−ａと対向する台部２−ｂを備えている。上記鉤部２−ａと上記台部２−ｂとの間は窪み部２−ｃを構成している。また図示はしないが，上記台部２−ｂの上面には２個のネジ孔が形成されている。
上記グリル２が上記のように構成されている結果，グリル２は，次に述べるような操作で，作業者１人でキャビネット１に容易に取り付けられる。 Here, the structure on the grill 2 side to which the hinge shaft pressing plate 11 is attached will be described.
That is, as shown in FIG. 4- (b), the lower end of the grill 2 is provided with a flange portion 2-a formed in an L shape in a side section. The grill 2 is provided with a base portion 2-b that faces the flange portion 2-a. A recess portion 2-c is formed between the flange portion 2-a and the base portion 2-b. Although not shown, two screw holes are formed on the upper surface of the base portion 2-b.
As a result of the grill 2 being configured as described above, the grill 2 can be easily attached to the cabinet 1 by one operator by the following operation.

即ち，グリル２の取付作業に先立って，予め，上記台部２−ｂと上記鉤部２−ａとの間に形成された上記窪み部２−ｃに，図８に示されるヒンジ部材９のヒンジ軸部９−ｆを図４に示すように挿入した状態で，上記台部２−ｂの上面に前記ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１を置いて，ネジ孔１１−ｅ，１１−ｅに差し込んだネジを締める（このネジは上記台部２−ｂに形成された図外のネジ孔に螺着される）。これにより，上記ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１が台部２−ｂに固定されると共に，該ヒンジ軸部９−ｆは，ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１の左右翼部１１−ａ及び軸押さえ爪１１−ｄにより上記窪み部２−ｃ内に回動可能に収容され，上記窪み部２−ｃから外れることがなくなる。こうしてヒンジ部材９がヒンジ軸押さえ板１１を介してグリル２に回動自在に取り付けられた状態となる。 That is, prior to the mounting work of the grill 2, the recess member 2-c formed between the base portion 2-b and the flange portion 2-a in advance has the hinge member 9 shown in FIG. With the hinge shaft portion 9-f inserted as shown in FIG. 4, the hinge shaft pressing plate 11 is placed on the upper surface of the base portion 2-b, and the screws inserted into the screw holes 11-e and 11-e. (This screw is screwed into a screw hole (not shown) formed in the base portion 2-b). Thus, the hinge shaft pressing plate 11 is fixed to the base portion 2-b, and the hinge shaft portion 9-f is supported by the left and right wing portions 11-a and the shaft pressing claws 11-d of the hinge shaft pressing plate 11. The hollow portion 2-c is rotatably accommodated and does not come off the hollow portion 2-c. Thus, the hinge member 9 is rotatably attached to the grill 2 via the hinge shaft pressing plate 11.

上記したようにヒンジ部材９がグリル２に上記ヒンジ軸押さえ板１１を介して回動自在に取り付けられた状態で，次に上記したヒンジ部材９を前記キャビネット１のフレーム１−ａに形成されたきり欠き１−ｂ，１−ｂに仮置きする（引っ掛ける）。これによりヒンジ部材９の引っ掛け爪９−ｃが上記切り欠き１−ｂに係合し，ヒンジ部材９及びこれに取り付けられたグリル２は，いまだネジ孔９−ｄを用いたネジ止め作業を行う前であるのにもかかわらず，グリル２から手を放してもグリル２が外れたり，落下したりすることはない。
従って，ユーザ或いは作業者は，この状態で１人で楽にネジ孔９−ｄにネジ１０を挿入し，ネジ止め作業を行うことが出来る。上記切り欠き１−ｂに引っ掛け爪９−ｃが合致するため，ネジ１０用のネジ孔９−ｄの位置も自動的に決まり容易に固定できる。もちろんネジが完全に締まっていなくてもグリル２は外れたり，落下したりすることもない。
ヒンジ部材９にはキャビネット１への取付け取外し時，持ちやすくするため，リブ９−ｅが設けられてあることは前記の通りであり，これにより作業は更に容易となる。 As described above, the hinge member 9 is formed on the frame 1-a of the cabinet 1 in a state where the hinge member 9 is rotatably attached to the grill 2 via the hinge shaft pressing plate 11. Temporarily place (hang) on notches 1-b and 1-b. As a result, the hook claw 9-c of the hinge member 9 engages with the notch 1-b, and the hinge member 9 and the grille 2 attached thereto still perform screwing operation using the screw hole 9-d. Despite being in front, the grill 2 will not come off or fall even if the hand is released from the grill 2.
Accordingly, the user or the worker can easily insert the screw 10 into the screw hole 9-d and perform the screwing operation by one person in this state. Since the hooking claw 9-c matches the notch 1-b, the position of the screw hole 9-d for the screw 10 can be automatically determined and fixed easily. Of course, even if the screw is not completely tightened, the grill 2 does not come off or fall.
As described above, the hinge member 9 is provided with the ribs 9-e so that the hinge member 9 can be easily held when the hinge member 9 is attached to and detached from the cabinet 1, thereby further facilitating the work.

上記のようなグリル２の着脱動作等の時に，仮にねじれなどの大きい力がグリル２にかかった場合に，ヒンジ軸部９−ｆが外れないとヒンジ軸部９−ｆなどが損傷する可能性がある。そのため，翼部９−ｇは変形しやすいよう左右翼部９−ｇ間に切り込みが設けられており，上記ねじれなどによる大きい力が上記ヒンジ軸９−ｆにかかったときに，上記左右翼部９−ｇが一時的に変形して，上記ヒンジ軸部９−ｆが上記窪み部２−ｃから外れ，ヒンジ軸９−ｆなどが損傷しないように配慮されている。 If a large force such as torsion is applied to the grill 2 during the attaching / detaching operation of the grill 2 as described above, the hinge shaft 9-f may be damaged if the hinge shaft 9-f is not removed. There is. Therefore, the blade portion 9-g is provided with a notch between the left and right blade portions 9-g so that the blade portion 9-g is easily deformed, and when the large force due to the twist is applied to the hinge shaft 9-f, 9-g is temporarily deformed so that the hinge shaft 9-f is disengaged from the recess 2-c and the hinge shaft 9-f and the like are not damaged.

次に，グリル２の閉時に，グリル２をキャビネと１に固定するための摺動子１２（閉止係合部材の一例）構造について図１１以下の図面を参照して説明する。
上記摺動子１２の概略について説明すると，該摺動子１２は，図１１（ａ）のように前記グリル２の上端部にグリル長手方向に形成された摺動長孔１３に，前記グリル２の長手方向に摺動自在に取り付けられる。この摺動子１２は，図１２に示すように主要部材として摺動子本体１２−ａを備え，前記摺動子本体１２−ａは，該摺動子本体１２−ａの前記摺動長孔１３の長手方向の面と摺接する面に，該面に対して垂直に固定された弾性部材よりなる１対の係合爪取付部材１２−ｊと，この係合爪取付部材１２−ｊの側面に取り付けられ，上記摺動長孔１３端部を前記摺動子本体１２−ａとの間に挟持する第１の係合爪１２−ｅと，前記摺動子本体１２−ａが前記グリル２との係合方向に摺動された時に，前記筐体側に設けられた後記する切り起こし突起１４（係止片の一例）を前記係合爪取付部材１２−ｊとの間に挟持する第２の係合爪１２−ｇとを備えて構成されている。 Next, a structure of a slider 12 (an example of a closing engagement member) for fixing the grill 2 to the cabinet 1 when the grill 2 is closed will be described with reference to FIG. 11 and subsequent drawings.
The outline of the slider 12 will be described below. The slider 12 is formed in the long slot 13 formed in the longitudinal direction of the grill at the upper end of the grill 2 as shown in FIG. It is slidably attached in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 12, the slider 12 includes a slider main body 12-a as a main member, and the slider main body 12-a includes the sliding long hole of the slider main body 12-a. A pair of engaging claw mounting members 12-j made of an elastic member fixed perpendicularly to the surface in sliding contact with the surface in the longitudinal direction of 13 and side surfaces of the engaging claw mounting members 12-j A first engagement claw 12-e that holds the end of the sliding long hole 13 between the slider main body 12-a and the slider main body 12-a. And a cut-and-raised projection 14 (an example of a locking piece) provided on the housing side between the engaging claw mounting member 12-j and the second claw protrusion 14 provided on the housing side. And the engaging claws 12-g.

続いて上記摺動子１２を詳細に説明する。組み立て順序としては，摺動子１２は，図１２に示す矢印１２−ｉのようにグリル２の摺動長孔１３に前面より挿入される。閉止係合部材１２の係合爪取付部材１２−ｊの長手方向の長さｍ（図１５ａ）は，閉止係合部材１２の上記係合爪取付部材１２−ｊが，容易に上記摺動長孔１３に差し込めるように摺動長孔１３の長手方向の長さｎ（図１１（ａ）よりわずかに小さく（０．１ｍｍ〜０．２ｍｍ程度）設定されている。また，係合爪取付部材１２−ｊが，上記摺動長孔１３に差し込まれていくと，上記係合爪取付部材１２−ｊに設けられた第１の係合爪１２−ｅが，上記摺動長孔１３の長手方向の側縁１３−ａ（図１１（ｃ））と干渉し，係合爪取付部材１２−ｊが自らの弾性によりたわんで，第１の係合爪１２−ｅの通過を許容する。即ち，上記一対の係合爪１２−ｅ，１２−ｅの外幅（ｊ）は，摺動長孔１３の短手方向の幅（ｋ）より若干大きく設計されている。
従って，上記係合爪取付部材１２―ｊが，上記のように自らたわんで一度摺動長孔１３に挿入されると，第１の係合部材１２−ｅが開いて摺動長孔１３から抜けなくなる。こうして，上記摺動子１２は，上記手動長孔１３から抜けることなく，摺動子長孔１３内でその長手方向の幅ｎにわたって摺動することが出来る。 Next, the slider 12 will be described in detail. As for the assembly order, the slider 12 is inserted from the front side into the sliding long hole 13 of the grill 2 as indicated by an arrow 12-i shown in FIG. The length m (FIG. 15a) in the longitudinal direction of the engagement claw mounting member 12-j of the closing engagement member 12 is such that the engagement claw mounting member 12-j of the closing engagement member 12 can be easily moved by the sliding length. The length n in the longitudinal direction of the sliding long hole 13 is set to be slightly smaller (about 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm) so as to be inserted into the hole 13. When the member 12-j is inserted into the sliding long hole 13, the first engaging claw 12-e provided on the engaging claw mounting member 12-j is connected to the sliding long hole 13. Interfering with the side edge 13-a in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 11 (c)), the engaging claw mounting member 12-j bends by its own elasticity and allows the passage of the first engaging claw 12-e. That is, the outer width (j) of the pair of engaging claws 12-e and 12-e is designed to be slightly larger than the width (k) in the short direction of the sliding long hole 13. There.
Therefore, when the engaging claw mounting member 12-j is bent by itself as described above and inserted into the sliding long hole 13, the first engaging member 12-e is opened and the sliding long hole 13 It will not come out. Thus, the slider 12 can slide over the width n in the longitudinal direction in the slider long hole 13 without coming out of the manual long hole 13.

また，摺動子本体１２−ａと上記第１の係合爪１２−ｅとの隙間は，グリル２の上記摺動長孔１３周辺の肉厚よりごくわずか大きくし設定してあり，係合爪取付部材１２−ｊ間のピッチは，上記摺動長孔１３の幅よりわずかに小さく設定してある。こうすることで，摺動子１２は，摺動長孔１３内で，がたつきがなくスムーズにスライドすることが可能となる。
このような摺動子１２によるグリル２の固定は，次に述べる摺動子１２とキャビネット１側の切り起こし突起１４の構造により達成される。
即ち，摺動子１２が上記のようにスライドし，閉止方向に動く時，キャビネット１の切り起こし突起１４は，上記摺動子１２の第２の係合部１２−ｇと，前記係合爪取付部材１２−ｊの一部である係止リブ１２−ｆとの間に差し込まれる。その結果，グリル２は，摺動子１２を介してキャビネット１に一体的に固定されることになる。上記第２の係合部１２−ｇの先端は斜めに面取りされており，切り起こし突起１４が導かれやすくなっている。また，切り起こし突起１４が少しゆがんで入ってきても，第２の係合爪１２−ｇの当たり面と対する前記係止リブ１２−ｆが切り起こし突起１４を修正案内して，第２の係合爪１２−ｇになじむよう働く。 Further, the gap between the slider body 12-a and the first engaging claw 12-e is set to be slightly larger than the thickness around the sliding long hole 13 of the grill 2, The pitch between the claw mounting members 12-j is set slightly smaller than the width of the sliding long hole 13. By doing so, the slider 12 can slide smoothly in the sliding long hole 13 without rattling.
The fixing of the grill 2 by the slider 12 is achieved by the structure of the slider 12 and the cut-and-raised projection 14 on the cabinet 1 side described below.
That is, when the slider 12 slides as described above and moves in the closing direction, the cut-and-raised projection 14 of the cabinet 1 is connected to the second engaging portion 12-g of the slider 12 and the engaging claw. It is inserted between the locking ribs 12-f that are part of the mounting member 12-j. As a result, the grill 2 is integrally fixed to the cabinet 1 via the slider 12. The tip of the second engaging portion 12-g is chamfered obliquely so that the cut and raised protrusion 14 can be easily guided. Even if the cut-and-raised protrusion 14 is slightly distorted, the locking rib 12-f facing the contact surface of the second engaging claw 12-g cuts and raises the protrusion 14 to correct the second projection. It works so as to be compatible with the engaging claws 12-g.

上記のように摺動子１２の第２の係合爪１２−ｇは，グリル２の閉時，切り起こし突起１４と接触する構造であるが，実際には，切り起こし突起１４の内側にはわずかに膨らんだビード１６が形成されており，差し込まれた第２の係合爪１２−ｇは，切り起こし突起１４に接触した後，すぐに上記ビード１６に乗り上げるので，第２の係合爪１２−ｇと，切り起こし突起１４の端部エッジ１５とはほとんど擦れあうことがなく，第２の係合爪１２−ｇはビード１６と接触してグリル２をキャビネット１に固定すると共に，摺動子１２が簡単には外れないようにしている。また，上記のように第２の係合爪１２−ｇが接触するのは上記ビード１６であるから，第２の係合爪１２−ｇとの接触によって，第２係合爪１２−ｊの先端や上記端部エッジ１５の接触面をいためる事が無い。 As described above, the second engaging claw 12-g of the slider 12 has a structure in contact with the cut-and-raised protrusion 14 when the grill 2 is closed. A slightly swelled bead 16 is formed, and the inserted second engaging claw 12-g immediately rides on the bead 16 after contacting the cut-and-raised protrusion 14, so the second engaging claw 12-g and the end edge 15 of the cut-and-raised protrusion 14 hardly rub against each other, and the second engaging claw 12-g contacts the bead 16 to fix the grill 2 to the cabinet 1 and slide. The moving element 12 is not easily removed. In addition, since the second engagement claw 12-g contacts the bead 16 as described above, the second engagement claw 12-j is brought into contact with the second engagement claw 12-g. The tip and the contact surface of the end edge 15 are not damaged.

さらに摺動子１２の開，閉の位置維持及び摺動子１２がきちんとキャビネット１側と係合したことを作業者に知らせるために，摺動子１２の正確な摺動にクリック感を与えるクリック部材１７が，キャビネット１側の前記摺動長孔１３の周囲に設けられている。このクリック部材１７は，摺動子１２を閉方向に摺動させた時に，第２の係合爪１２−ｇの側面に突出する突起１２−ｂと係合し，作業者にクリック感を与えるものである。これにより，作業者は摺動子１２が開，閉のどちらかの位置に有ることをクリック感で確認できるため，不用意にグリル２が外れたり，落下したりするのを防止することも出来る。 Furthermore, in order to inform the operator that the slider 12 is in the open / closed position and that the slider 12 is properly engaged with the cabinet 1 side, a click that gives a click feeling to the correct sliding of the slider 12 A member 17 is provided around the sliding long hole 13 on the cabinet 1 side. When the slider 12 is slid in the closing direction, the click member 17 engages with the protrusion 12-b protruding from the side surface of the second engagement claw 12-g, and gives the operator a click feeling. Is. As a result, the operator can confirm with a feeling of clicking that the slider 12 is in the open or closed position, so that the grill 2 can be prevented from being inadvertently detached or dropped. .

また上記摺動子本体１２−ａの表面には，ユーザが摺動子１２を操作するためのつまみ１２−ｂが形成されており，上記つまみ１２−ｂの隣には，図１５（ｃ）に示すような開閉指示文字１２−ｃ（ＯＰＥＮ，ＣＬＯＳＥなどの文字）や，矢印などの図１２−ｄが刻設されている。このような表示を設けることで，ユーザに動作方向を明確に示すことが出来る。また，開閉指示文字１２−ｃ，や図１２−ｄは，図１５（ｃ）に記載の実施例に限定するものではなく，使用者に判る方法で有れば他の表示内容でもよく，摺動子１２近傍のキャビネット１側に表示してもよい。 Further, a knob 12-b for the user to operate the slider 12 is formed on the surface of the slider main body 12-a. Next to the knob 12-b, FIG. An opening / closing instruction character 12-c (characters such as OPEN and CLOSE) as shown in FIG. By providing such a display, the direction of operation can be clearly shown to the user. Further, the opening / closing instruction characters 12-c and FIG. 12-d are not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 15C, and other display contents may be used as long as they can be understood by the user. You may display on the cabinet 1 side of the moving element 12 vicinity.

尚，上記実施形態においては，ヒンジ軸部９−ｆをグリル２側に設けた例を示したが，逆にヒンジ軸部をキャビネット１側に設けて，ヒンジ押さえ板１１もキャビネット１側に設けて，引っ掛け爪９−ｃでグリル２を引っ掛けるようにする構成でもよいことは言うまでもない。 In the above embodiment, an example in which the hinge shaft portion 9-f is provided on the grill 2 side is shown. Conversely, the hinge shaft portion is provided on the cabinet 1 side, and the hinge pressing plate 11 is also provided on the cabinet 1 side. Needless to say, the grill 2 may be hooked by the hooking claws 9-c.
