DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] Hereinafter, a fixing structure for a housing of an electronic device or the like according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, components having substantially the same functions and configurations are designated by the same reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly. EXAMPLES
[0011] (Configuration Description) Fig. 1 shows a schematic partial exploded perspective view of a vibration-isolating member fixing structure of a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 shows a schematic partial exploded side view of the vibration-isolating member fixing structure of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a group of top views showing a schematic partial top view of a housing (hereinafter simply referred to as housing 1) having a first plate portion 1 of the vibration-isolating member fixing structure of this embodiment in a part thereof, a schematic partial top view of a vibration-isolating member 2 made of a plate-shaped vibration-isolating rubber, and a schematic partial top view of a base (hereinafter simply referred to as base 3) having a second plate portion in a part thereof, together with the positional relationship of each part of the housing 1, the vibration-isolating member 2, and the base 3.
[0012] The vibration-isolating member fixing structure of this embodiment is a structure in which a housing 1 is fixed to a base 3 via a vibration-isolating member 2 made of a plate-shaped vibration-isolating rubber or the like. The housing 1, the vibration-isolating member 2, and the base 3 are configured such that first and second engagement protrusions 21, 22 of the vibration-isolating member 2 are coaxially fitted into a first engagement insertion hole 1f formed in the housing 1 and a second engagement insertion hole 3g formed in the base 3, respectively, and their main surfaces are tightly attached to each other to form an integrated unit.
[0013] Fig. 4 is a schematic partial perspective view showing the vibration-isolating member fixing structure of this embodiment in which the vibration-isolating member 2 is sandwiched between the base 3 and the housing 1 and is tightly and integrally formed. Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line BB of the vibration-isolating member fixing structure shown in Fig. 4. In this tightly and integral state, if the base 3 is a structure fixed on a road, for example, and the housing 1 is an electronic device such as a sound collector, the vibration to the housing 1 from the road can be attenuated to a certain extent by the vibration-isolating member 2.
[0014] (Vibration-proofing material) Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the vibration-proof member 2 taken along line AA in Fig. 1. A schematic partial perspective view of the vibration-proof member fixing structure of this embodiment is shown. The vibration-proof member 2 has a plate-shaped vibration-absorbing part 20 that absorbs vibrations, and first and second engagement protrusions 21, 22 that protrude coaxially from both main surfaces of the vibration-absorbing part 20, which are integrally molded from an elastic body. The first and second protrusions 21, 22 each consist of a cylindrical shaft 21a, 22a extending perpendicularly to the main surface of the vibration-proof part 20, and an engagement head 21b, 22b provided at the tip of each shaft.
[0015] A first protrusion 21 is formed coaxially on one side of the vibration-proof member 2, and a second protrusion 22 is formed coaxially on the opposite side. The first protrusion 21 is structured to fit into a first insertion hole 1f formed in the housing 1, and the second protrusion 22 is structured to fit into a second insertion hole 3g formed in the base 3.
[0016] The head 21b of the first protrusion 21 has a square truncated pyramid shape, and includes a seat surface 21c facing the main surface of the vibration absorbing part 20 extending from the shaft part 21a, four flat tapered surfaces 21d tapering from the seat surface 21c toward the tip extension direction of the shaft part 21a, a square top surface 21e at the tip, and a slit 21f provided therein (see FIG. 3(b)). That is, the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-proof member 2 has a truncated pyramid-shaped head 21b, which is a regular square trapezoid, at the tip, and a slit 21f is formed in the top surface 21e of the truncated pyramid-shaped head 21b (see FIG. 2). The slit 21f is an engagement part that engages the head 21b with a tool such as a flathead screwdriver that rotates the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 around the shaft part 21a.
[0017] As shown in Figures 2(a)(b) and 3(a)(b), the truncated pyramidal head 21b has an end portion RDP of the ridge line RD between adjacent tapered surfaces of the tapered surface 21d, which is part of its rectangular outer peripheral edge, as a stopper.
[0018] The head 22b of the second protrusion 22 has a truncated cone shape and includes a bearing surface 22c facing the main surface of the vibration absorbing part 20 extending from the shaft part 22a, a conical tapered surface 22d tapering from the bearing surface 22c in the extension direction of the shaft part 22a, and a circular top surface 22e at the most distal end. That is, the second protrusion 22 includes a truncated cone-shaped head 22b at the tip, which is a truncated cone-shaped return shape.
[0019] (Housing) The housing 1 is formed with a first insertion hole 1f of a regular square opening at the same position as the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-proof member 2. The first insertion hole 1f is formed with its regular square shape being the same shape and size as the seat 21c of the truncated pyramid-shaped head 21b, and is oriented at an angle of 45° around the center line of the shaft 21a with respect to the seat 21c (see FIG. 4). Note that in this example, the regular square shape of the first insertion hole 1f of the regular square opening of the housing 1 and the regular square truncated pyramid-shaped head 21b of the vibration-proof member 2 are used, but these parts may each be a regular polygonal truncated pyramid shape such as an equilateral triangle or a regular pentagon.
[0020] As shown in Figures 2(a)(b) and 3(a)(b), the first insertion hole 1f has an inner peripheral edge 1e that, when the head 21b is inserted into a position opposite the first protrusion 21, is guided by the ridge line RD between adjacent tapered surfaces and the tapered surfaces, and elastically deforms (twists) the shaft portion 22a of the head 21b, and is configured to engage with a portion RDP of the outer peripheral edge portion of the head 21b when the elastic deformation of the inner peripheral edge 1e returns after insertion.
[0021] Furthermore, since the first insertion hole 1f of the housing 1 is an opening of the same square shape and size as the seat surface 21c of the truncated pyramidal head 21b, when the head 21b of the opposing first protrusion 21 elastically deforms the first protrusion 21 so as to twist the shaft 21a of the first protrusion 21, the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 can pass through the first insertion hole 1f.
[0022] (base) A second insertion hole 3g is formed in the base 3 at the same position as the second protrusion 22 of the vibration-proof member 2. The second insertion hole 3g is a stepped through hole as shown in Fig. 2(c). As shown in Figs. 2(b) and 2(c), the second insertion hole 3g is formed such that the shape of a first step 3g1 on the side where the truncated cone-shaped head 22b is inserted is similar to the seating surface 22c of the truncated cone-shaped head 22b and has an inner diameter smaller than that of the seating surface 22c, so that the circumferential portion of the conical tapered surface 22d can pass through due to elastic deformation and the seating surface 22c can engage with the first step 3g1 after passing through, and the shape of the second step 3g2 is formed as a circular hole with an inner diameter larger than that of the first step 3g1. The second insertion hole 3g has an inner peripheral edge portion 3e that elastically deforms the outer peripheral edge portion RDP of the head 22b of the second protrusion 22 when the head 22b of the second protrusion 22 is inserted at a position opposite the second protrusion 22, and is configured so that the inner peripheral edge portion 3e engages with the outer peripheral edge portion RDP of the head 22b after insertion.
[0023] The dimensional relationship between the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-damping member 2 and the first insertion hole 1f of the housing 1 for the fitting portion between the housing 1, the vibration-damping member 2, and the base 3 is set as shown in Figure 3, as x (diagonal length of the seating surface of the square head 21b of the first protrusion 21) > u (length of one side of the rectangle of the first insertion hole 1f of the housing 1) = z (length of one side of the seating surface of the head 21b of the first protrusion 21) > y (diagonal length of the square top surface 21e of the head 21b of the first protrusion 21). The dimensional relationship between the second protrusion 22 of the vibration-damping member 2 and the second insertion hole 3g of the base 3 is set as follows, as shown in Figure 2: s (inner diameter of the second step 3g2 of the base 3) > w (outer diameter of the seating surface of the head 22b of the vibration-damping member 2) > t (inner diameter of the first step 3g1 of the base 3) > v (diameter of the circular top surface 22e of the head 22b of the vibration-damping member 2).
[0024] (Explanation of operation) When attaching the vibration-proof member 2, when the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-proof member 2 is pressed into the first insertion hole 1f of the housing 1, the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 enters the first insertion hole 1f while twisting due to elastic deformation around the shaft 21a, guided by the ridge line RD between adjacent tapered surfaces of the tapered surface 21d and the tapered surface. Similarly, when the second protrusion 22 of the vibration-proof member 2 is pressed into the second insertion hole 3g of the base 3, the conical tapered surface 22d serves as a guide, and the second protrusion 22 enters the second insertion hole 3g while elastically deforming, resulting in the fixed state shown in FIG.
[0025] When removing the housing 1 from the vibration-proof member 2, as shown in Fig. 7(a), a flathead screwdriver or the like is inserted into the slit 21f of the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-proof member 2, and the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 is rotated 45° to align with the first insertion hole 1f of the housing 1. Then, with the head 21b aligned with the first insertion hole 1f as shown in Fig. 7(b), the head 21b of the first protrusion 21 is pushed into the first insertion hole 1f as shown in Fig. 7(c).
[0026] As described above, according to this embodiment, when installing the vibration-proof member 2, the protruding parts of the vibration-proof member 2 are simply pushed by hand into the respective holes in the housing 1 and the base 3, which has the advantages of eliminating the need for tools, eliminating the need for special knowledge on the part of the worker, reducing the number of parts, and shortening the installation time.
[0027] When fixing the vibration-proof member 2 to the housing 1, the head 21b at the tip of the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-proof member 2 is made into a truncated pyramid shape, so that when the first protrusion 21 enters the first insertion hole 1f, the tapered surface 21d acts as a guide and the truncated pyramid-shaped head 21b of the first protrusion 21 acts as a stopper to fix the first protrusion 21 in place.
[0028] When removing the vibration-proof member 2, the first protrusion 21 can be rotated with a flat-head screwdriver or the like using the slit 21f in the first protrusion 21 to release the stopper on the truncated pyramidal head 21b and push it in to remove it. In this way, since it is only necessary to push it in with a flat-head screwdriver, there are effects such as fewer tools being used and shorter work time. EXAMPLES
[0029] The second embodiment is identical to the first embodiment except that a truncated pyramidal head structure similar to that of the first protrusion 21 of the vibration-damping member 2 of the first embodiment is provided as the second protrusion instead of a truncated conical head 22b.
[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the head 222b of the second protrusion 222 has a regular polygonal truncated pyramid shape having four tapered surfaces 222d that taper in the extension direction of the shaft 222a and a seat surface 222c facing the main surface of the vibration absorbing part 20.
[0031] A part of the outer circumferential edge of the head 222b of the second protrusion 222 is an end portion RDP of the ridge line RD between adjacent tapered surfaces of the tapered surface 222d.
[0032] The second insertion hole 32g of the base 32 has a regular polygonal shape that allows the head 222b of the opposing second protrusion 222 to pass through the second insertion hole 32g when the head 222b of the second protrusion 222 deforms the second protrusion 222 so as to twist the shaft 222a of the second protrusion 222.
[0033] The head 222b of the second protrusion 222 has a slit 222f for engaging with a driver of a jig that rotates the head 222b of the second protrusion 222 about the shaft 222a.
[0034] (Modification) In either embodiment, the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 22 may be formed non-coaxially.
[0035] Furthermore, in any of the embodiments, examples of the hard rubber material of the vibration-proof member 2 include resins such as hydrogenated nitrile rubber, fluororubber (FKM), silicone rubber (VMQ), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), urethane rubber (U), polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE), polyacetal (POM), and natural rubber. It may also be in the form of
[0036] In addition, in all the embodiments, the vibration absorbing portion and the protruding portion are integrally formed from the same rubber, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the vibration absorbing portion may be molded from a relatively soft rubber layer, and the shaft portion and the head portion may be integrally formed by two-color molding from a harder rubber than the vibration absorbing portion. In this case, all may be integrally molded by two-color molding, or after molding each, they may be joined by vulcanization joining or the like to integrally mold the vibration absorbing portion and the protruding portion.
