  The end portion 43 of the first side wall 37 and the end portion 44 of the second side wall 38 are caught by the inner edge portion of the housing side opening 28 when the cover member 29 is engaged with the housing side opening 28 (see FIG. 3). Arrangement is formed.

  Reference numeral 45 at the end 43 of the first side wall 37 indicates an insertion guide. The insertion guide 45 is formed in a substantially bowl shape so that the operating tool 22 can be smoothly returned to its original position without being caught after the operating tool 22 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is used. It is formed as a special part. In addition, the formation of the insertion guide part 45 shall be arbitrary.

  The first side wall 37 is provided with a pair of flexible locking arms 46 having elasticity and a cantilever arm shape. The first side wall 37 is provided with a flat tool receiving surface 47 that receives the operation tool 22 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) pressed by the pair of flexible locking arms 46.

  The flexible locking arm 46 is an elongated spring piece whose base end is continuous with the intermediate position of the first side wall 37 and whose tip is a free end, and is directed from the end 43 of the first side wall 37 toward the bottom wall 36. In addition, two slits extending straight are formed, and a band-like portion between the two slits is formed at a predetermined angle.

  A retaining portion 48 is formed on the flexible locking arm 46. The retaining portion 48 is formed by bending the side close to the tip of the flexible locking arm 46. A guide portion 49 is formed on the flexible locking arm 46. The guide portion 49 is formed on the tip side from the retaining portion 48. The flexible locking arm 46 is formed in a shape in which peaks and valleys are continuous by forming the retaining portion 48 and the guide portion 49 (the shape is an example).

  The flexible locking arm 46 is configured such that when a force in the pulling direction is applied while the operating tool 22 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is brought into contact with the retaining portion 48, the operating tool 22 can be removed by bending. Is formed. Further, the flexible locking arm 46 is formed so that the operation tool 22 can be attached when the force in the insertion direction is applied while the operation tool 22 is brought into contact with the guide portion 49.

  A substantially bowl-shaped engaging portion 52 is formed at each of the end portion 50 of the third side wall 39 and the end portion 51 of the fourth side wall 40. The engaging portion 52 is formed so as to be caught by the outer edge portion of the housing side opening 28 (see FIG. 3).

  2 and 3, the operation tool 22 is a member made of a metal or resin round bar, and a first function portion 53 similar to the tip shape of a plus driver is formed at one end of the operation tool 22. . Further, a second functional part 54 similar to the tip shape of a minus driver is formed at the other end. The first function part 53 is formed so as to be inserted into the cross groove 31 of the operation part 23 and can be rotated. The second function part 54 is formed so that the knob 32 of the operation part 24 can be hooked and slid. The outer peripheral surface of the operation tool 22 is pressed by a pair of flexible locking arms 46 and received by a tool receiving surface 47. The operation tool 22 can be inserted / removed at any position in the circumferential direction because the barrel portion has a round bar shape.

  In the above configuration and structure, when it is necessary to perform a setting / adjustment operation related to the operation of the drive mechanism 3 (see FIG. 1), an operation tool 22 provided to be freely inserted into and removed from the controller device 21 may be used. If the body portion of the operating tool 22 is picked and pulled out, it can be easily removed. Moreover, if it inserts so that the operation tool 22 may be pushed in after use, it can return to an original position easily.

  The operation tool 22 is prevented from being unintentionally detached by the retaining portion 48 of the flexible locking arm 46. Moreover, since the space | interval of the 3rd side wall 39 and the 4th side wall 40 is comparatively narrow, even if the operation tool 22 is laterally shifted in the arrow P direction, it will hit the 3rd side wall 39 or the 4th side wall 40, and omission will not arise. It is like that. In addition, the 3rd side wall 39 and the 4th side wall 40 function as a tool movement control part described in the claim.

  As described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the controller device 21 having the operation tool 22 can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to remarkably reduce the burden on the operator as compared with the conventional case.

  Embodiment 2 will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a main part of the door controller device. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as the said Example 1, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 8, Example 2 is an example in which the distance between the third side wall 39 and the fourth side wall 40 is wider than that in Example 1, and the operation tool 22 is laterally displaced in the direction of arrow P (here, the left side of the drawing). The tool movement restricting portion 55 is provided on the first side wall 37 as a portion for restricting movement because the third side wall 39 is not abutted when it is laterally displaced in the direction. The tool movement restricting portion 55 is formed so as to cut up the first side wall 37.

  In the second embodiment, like the first embodiment, the operation tool 22 does not fall off due to the lateral displacement. The other effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Embodiment 3 will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of a main part of the door controller device. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as the said Examples 1, 2, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 9, the third embodiment is an example in which the distance between the third side wall 39 and the fourth side wall 40 is larger than that in the first embodiment, as in the second embodiment. The tool movement restricting portion 56 is provided on the first side wall 37 as a portion for restricting movement because it does not hit the third side wall 39 when it is shifted laterally in the left direction in the drawing. The tool movement restricting portion 56 is formed by providing a through hole in the first side wall 37 and fixing a convex member 57 made of rubber or resin to the through hole (the form of the tool movement restricting portion 56 is an example). Suppose).

  As in the first and second embodiments, the third embodiment is configured such that the operation tool 22 does not fall off due to lateral displacement. The third embodiment is a modification of the second embodiment. In addition, since the tool movement restricting portion 56 is made of rubber or resin, the effect unique to the third embodiment is that the operation tool 22 can be prevented from being damaged or injured by the operator during insertion. .

  In addition, the present invention can of course be modified in various ways within the scope not changing the gist of the present invention.
