[0022] The method for mounting the remote controller for gas appliances described above in [6] has the same effect as the mounting plate described above in [1].

[0023] First Embodiment The following description relates to the first embodiment. 1. Remote Controller 100 1 shows a gas appliance remote controller 100 and a gas appliance remote controller mounting plate 1 on which the gas appliance remote controller 100 is mounted. Hereinafter, the gas appliance remote controller 100 will also be referred to simply as the remote controller 100. The gas appliance remote controller mounting plate 1 will also be referred to simply as the mounting plate 1.

[0024] 1 is a remote controller used to remotely control a gas appliance such as a water heater, for example. Note that the gas appliance remotely controlled by remote controller 100 may be a gas appliance other than a water heater.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 1, the remote controller 100 includes a display unit 104 having a lamp such as an LED or a 7-segment display unit, and the display unit 104 can perform various lighting and blinking operations, and can display letters, numbers, and other symbols. The remote controller 100 also includes a plurality of operation units 106 such as buttons. Note that the illustration in Fig. 1 omits the surface sheet covering the display unit 104 and operation units 106. In the example in Fig. 1, the operation units 106 are configured as buttons that output a predetermined signal when pressed from the outside.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the remote controller 100 has an outer shell formed by a case 102. The case 102 is box-shaped, and its front surface is provided with a hole used for a display unit 104 and a structure for buttons used for an operation unit 106. As shown in FIG. 2 , the rear surface of the case 102 is provided with multiple holes 108 into which the mounting unit 30 (described later) is inserted. The holes 108 function as mounting receiving portions that are attached to the mounting unit 30, and in a typical example, the holes 108 are attached so that the mounting unit 30 is hooked onto the mounting unit 30 by inserting the mounting unit 30. The rear surface of the remote controller 100 is provided with multiple terminals 110 for connecting electric wires 180 (described later). The terminals 110 are electrically connected to electrical components provided within the remote controller 100, and form part of the electrical circuit of the remote controller 100. In the representative example shown in FIG. 2 etc., the hole 108 is configured as a long hole that is long in the vertical direction, and is provided so as to be recessed forward near both left and right ends of the rear surface of the case 102.

[0027] 2. Mounting plate The mounting plate 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a plate-shaped component fixed to a target wall W (FIGS. 8 and 9), and is a member for mounting the remote controller 100. The mounting plate 1 is made of, for example, a metal material or a resin material in a plate shape. In a typical example, the mounting plate 1 is formed by subjecting a metal plate to metalworking such as bending. As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting plate 1 includes a fixing plate portion 10 in a plate shape and a mounting portion 30 provided integrally with the fixing plate portion 10.

[0028] In the example of FIGS. 1 to 4, the fixing plate 10 is configured as a plate-like portion fixed along the wall W (FIGS. 8 and 9) to which it is attached so as to partially cover the wall W. A majority of the fixing plate 10 is configured as a flat plate having a predetermined thickness. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fixing plate 10 is arranged so as to partially cover the surface Wb of the wall W when fixed to the wall W to which it is attached (the wall to which the remote controller 100 is attached). In this embodiment, a portion of the rear plate surface 10B (rear surface) of the fixing plate 10 is arranged so as to be in close contact with the surface Wb of the wall W. As shown in FIG. 2, the plate surface 10B (rear plate surface) is the rear (rear) plate surface of the "flat plate having a predetermined thickness" that constitutes the majority of the fixing plate 10. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, a portion of the front plate surface 10A (rear surface) of the fixing plate 10 is arranged so as to be in close contact with or not in close contact with the rear surface of the case 102 of the remote controller 100. The plate surface 10A (front plate surface) is the plate surface on the front side (front side) of the "flat plate portion of a predetermined thickness" that forms the majority of the area of ​​the fixed plate portion 10.

[0029] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the mounting plate 10 is provided with an insertion portion 50 configured as a hole. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, the insertion portion 50 functions as a hole through which the electric wire 180 extending from the wall W passes. Specifically, the insertion portion 50 is configured as a through-hole between the plate surface 10A and the plate surface 10B. The insertion portion 50 is arranged to communicate with a through-hole Wa provided in the wall W when the mounting plate 1 is attached to the wall W, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The through-hole Wa penetrates the wall W to communicate with the space in front of the wall W and the space behind the wall W. In the installed state shown in FIG. 9, the electric wire 180 is inserted through the through-hole Wa and is arranged to straddle the front and rear sides of the through-hole Wa. When the mounting plate 1 is arranged as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the space in front of the mounting plate 1 and the space behind the through-hole Wa communicate with each other via the insertion portion 50 and the through-hole Wa.

[0030] 1, 2, 4, and 5, the inner edge 52 of the insertion portion 50 is provided with a hook portion 54 that hooks and holds the electric wire 180 (FIG. 5). The hook portion 54 has a recess 60 that is recessed in the inner edge 52 along the plate surface of the fixing plate 10. In the example of FIG. 4, the recess 60 is configured to be recessed laterally from the area inside the insertion portion 50 other than the recess 60. When the electric wire 180 is passed through the recess 60 from one plate surface 10B side to the other plate surface 10A side of the fixing plate 10 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the recess 60 functions to sandwich and hold the coating portion 182 that forms the surface of the electric wire 180 as shown in FIG.

[0031] 1 is a portion where the remote controller 100 is attached, and is a portion provided integrally with the fixing plate portion 10. Specifically, each of the attachment portions 30 is inserted into each of the holes 108 provided on the back side of the remote controller 100 as shown in FIG. 2, and is positioned within each of the holes 108 while being hooked onto each of the holes 108 (see FIG. 3).

[0032] In the example of Figures 1 to 4, four mounting portions 30 are provided on the mounting plate 1. Each mounting portion 30 has a protrusion 32 that protrudes forward from the outer edge of the mounting plate 10. In the example of Figures 1 to 4, a plurality of (specifically, two) protrusions 32 are provided on the outer edge of one left-right side of the mounting plate 10, and a plurality of (specifically, two) protrusions 32 are provided on the outer edge of the other left-right side of the mounting plate 10. Each protrusion 32 is configured as a plate piece that is bent forward and protrudes from the outer edge of the mounting plate 10, and each protrusion 32 (plate piece) is a vertically elongated plate piece with its thickness direction in the left-right direction.

[0033] The convex portion 32 (plate piece) is provided with a front extension portion 35 that is connected to the fixed plate portion 10 and extends forward, and a protrusion portion 33 that is configured to protrude upward from the front end side of the front extension portion 35. A recess that is recessed downward is formed by the upper end portion of the front extension portion 35, the protrusion portion 33, and the outer edge of the fixed plate portion 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the four protrusions 32 (FIGS. 1 and 2) are inserted into the four holes 108 (FIG. 2), thereby determining the relative position of the remote controller 100 in the up-down and left-right directions with respect to the mounting plate 1, and each protrusion 33 is caught on the edge of the front end of each hole 108, thereby preventing each protrusion 32 from slipping out of each hole 108. Specifically, the vicinity of the upper end of the inner wall of the hole 108 is placed on the front extension 35, and the protrusion 33 is positioned in front of the front end portion of the upper end of the inner wall of the hole 108, so that the protrusion 33 is caught on the edge of the hole 108 from the front side.

[0035] 3. Installation method The following description relates to a method for mounting the mounting plate 1 and the remote controller 100 to the wall W to be mounted.

[0036] When the remote controller 100 is attached to a wall W (a wall on which the remote controller 100 is to be installed), the electric wire 180 is drawn out in advance from a through-hole Wa provided in the wall W as shown in FIG. 5. The drawn out electric wire 180 may be formed by bundling a plurality of individual electric wires (for example, individual electric wires each having a conductor individually coated) together with a coating portion 182, or may be formed by bundling a plurality of individual electric wires each having a surface coated with a coating member and each exposed. The drawn out electric wire 180 does not have to be a single wire. It may be formed by bundling a plurality of electric wires together and having a plurality of branched ends.

[0037] When the remote controller 100 is installed with the electric wire 180 pulled out from the through-hole portion Wa as shown in FIG. 5 , a temporary fastening process is first performed. In the temporary fastening process, the electric wire 180 pulled out from the through-hole portion Wa of the wall W is passed through the insertion portion 50 from the back side of the mounting plate 1, and then, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the electric wire 180 is hooked on the hook portion 54 and temporarily fastened. When the temporary fastening process is performed in this manner, the electric wire 180 is held by the hook portion 54, so that even if the worker temporarily releases the electric wire 180, the electric wire 180 is less likely to fall to the back side of the wall W. In the example of FIGS. 6 and 7 , the electric wire 180 is configured to be inserted into the through-hole portion Wa, and then the electric wire 180 is arranged so as to straddle the back side (opposite the side on which the mounting plate 1 is arranged) and the front side (the side on which the mounting plate 1 is arranged) of the through-hole portion Wa, and then the portion of the electric wire 180 that is arranged on the front side of the through-hole portion Wa is inserted through the insertion portion 50. After the electric wire 180 has been inserted into the insertion portion 50 in this manner, the inserted electric wire 180 is hooked onto the recess 60 so as to enter the recess 60 as shown in FIG.

[0038] 7, when the electric wire 180 is inserted into the recess 60, the surface portion of the electric wire 180 is deformed so that the inner wall portion of the recess 60 bites into the surface portion of the electric wire 180, and a strong frictional force is likely to occur between the surface portion of the electric wire 180 and the inner wall portion of the recess 60. In this state, even if the electric wire 180 is pulled or pushed in the thickness direction of the fixing plate 10, the frictional force makes it difficult for the electric wire 180 to slip relative to the recess 60, and the caught state due to the frictional force is maintained.

[0039] After the temporary fixing step is performed in this manner, either a "connecting step of connecting the electric wire 180 to the gas appliance remote controller 100" or a "fixing step of fixing the mounting plate 10 to the wall W" is performed first. In the example of FIG. 8 , the fixing step is performed before the connecting step, and the mounting plate 10 is fixed to the wall W with fixing members such as screws. The fixing method is not limited, and for example, a screw member may be inserted into a hole formed in the mounting plate 10 so as to penetrate the mounting plate 10 in the thickness direction, and the screw member may be inserted into the wall to fix the mounting plate 1 to the wall W. Note that the method of fixing the mounting plate 10 to the wall W is not limited to the method using a screw member, and any method may be used as long as it can fix the mounting plate 10 to the wall W. For example, the mounting plate 10 may be fixed by interposing an adhesive between the back surface of the mounting plate 10 and the surface of the wall W.

[0040] 8, when the fixing step is performed first, the connecting step is performed after the fixing step, and the electric wire 180 is electrically connected to the remote controller 100. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of terminals 110 are provided on the back side of the remote controller 100, and in the connecting step, each of the plurality of terminals 110 is connected to each of the individual electric wires (not shown) provided on the electric wire 180.

[0041] After the fixing step and the connecting step, an attachment step is performed. The attachment step is a step of attaching the remote controller 100 to the attachment portion 30 of the attachment plate 1. In the attachment step, as shown in FIG. 8 , the protrusions 32 arranged so as to protrude forward from the attachment plate portion 10 of the attachment plate 1 fixed to the wall W are inserted into the respective hole portions 108 of the remote controller 100, and the upper end portions of the holes 108 are placed on the protrusions 32. Then, the protrusions 33 of the protrusions 32 are attached so as to be hooked from the front onto the ends of the respective hole portions 108 (the ends of the hole portions 108 that are arranged so as to be positioned in front of the protrusions 33 when the protrusions 32 are inserted into the holes 108).

[0042] 4.Example of effects 6 and 7, the mounting plate 1 for the remote controller for a gas appliance described above can hold the electric wire 180 led out from the wall W side by passing it through the insertion portion 50 and then hooking it onto the hook portion 54. When this mounting plate 1 is used, even if the worker loses control of the electric wire 180 during work after passing it through the insertion portion 50, the electric wire 180 is less likely to fall down, and therefore it is easier for the worker to install the remote controller for a gas appliance.

[0043] For example, even if a worker were to let go of the electric wire 180 when fixing the mounting plate 1 to the wall W as shown in FIG. 8 from the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electric wire 180 would likely remain hooked on the hook portion 54, and the electric wire 180 would not easily fall to the other side of the wall W (the side opposite to the side where the mounting plate 1 is attached) due to its own weight.

[0044] The mounting plate 1 has a simple structure in which the recess 60 is provided on the inner edge, thereby improving workability.

[0045] In the mounting plate 1, the recess 60 is configured to be recessed in the horizontal direction, so that after the electric wire 180 is passed through the recess 60, the electric wire 180 is likely to get caught in the recess 60 due to its own weight.

[0046] In the mounting plate 1, when the electric wire 180 is passed through the recess 60 from one plate surface side to the other plate surface side of the fixing plate portion 10, the recess 60 is configured to clamp and hold the covering portion 182 that forms the surface of the electric wire 180, so that the electric wire 180 is held more securely.

[0047] In the mounting plate 1, the width Wz (FIG. 4) of the recess 60 is smaller than the outer diameter of the covering portion 182, so that the electric wire 180 can be passed through the recess 60 in a manner that bites into the covering portion of the electric wire 180, and the frictional force between the inner edge of the recess 60 and the electric wire 180 increases. In the example of FIG. 4, the width direction of the recess 60 is a direction that is perpendicular to the extension direction of the recess 60 (the left-right direction in FIG. 4) and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fixing plate 10.

[0048] <Other embodiments> The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and in the drawings. For example, any combination of features of the above-described or following embodiments is possible within a range that does not contradict. Furthermore, any feature of the above-described or following embodiments may be omitted unless explicitly stated as essential. Furthermore, the above-described embodiment may be modified as follows.

[0049] In the above-described embodiment, the insertion portion is configured as a hole, but the insertion portion may be configured as a notch. For example, a notch may be configured so as to be recessed from the peripheral edge of the fixing plate portion toward the center along the plate surface of the fixing plate portion, and this notch may be configured to function as an insertion portion through which an electric wire can be passed. A hook portion may be provided on the inner edge of such a notch.

[0050] In the embodiment described above, the hole 108 of the remote controller 100 is the portion where the remote controller is attached so as to be hooked onto the mounting portion 30, but the remote controller may be attached in a configuration different from that shown in Fig. 2, etc., and the mounting portion and the remote controller may be fixed with a connecting member such as a screw. For example, a plate piece configured to extend forward from the peripheral edge of the fixing plate may be fixed to the side wall or bottom wall of the case 102 with a connecting member such as a screw.
