Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an operation panel mounting box used for mounting an operation panel with electrical wiring (including communication cables, and simply referred to as "electrical wiring" in this specification) on a wall surface.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, an operation panel with electrical wiring, for example, an operation panel provided at the entrance of an apartment equipped with an auto-lock system, has been directly attached to a wall surface or installed using an independent mounting base (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] By the way, when directly attaching the operation panel to the wall surface, since the operation panel involves electrical wiring, it is necessary to consider a fire-resistant structure. Conventionally, however, there has been no wall surface mounting structure for an operation panel that satisfies all of fire resistance, design, and workability.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the operation panel mounting box of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] Figures 1 to 4 show an example of the operation panel mounting box of the present invention. This operation panel mounting box is used to mount an operation panel OP with electrical wiring on a wall surface. It has a box shape with an open front, and is composed of a mounting base 1 attached to the wall surface, which has an opening 11a for electrical wiring on the rear panel 11 along the wall surface; a mounting plate 2 on which the operation panel OP is disposed and attached to the mounting base 1; and a surface member 3 externally fitted to the mounting base 1, which has a box shape with an open rear and an opening 31a for exposing the operation panel OP on the front side portion 31.

[0015] On the rear panel 11 of the mounting base 1, in addition to the opening 11a for electrical wiring, there are provided slits 11b and 11c extending in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a plurality of screw holes 11d at the four corners of the rear panel 11. The opening 11a for electrical wiring is for introducing the electrical wiring led out from the wall body into the operation panel mounting box, and after introducing the electrical wiring, it can be closed using fireproof putty or the like. By aligning the positions of the slits 11b and 11c with the inked lines drawn on the wall surface, the verticality and horizontality can be determined, and by performing positioning in the vertical and horizontal directions, the mounting accuracy of the mounting base 1 can be improved. A plurality of screw holes 11d are provided at the four corners of the rear plate 11, and in this embodiment, four are provided at each corner so as to avoid interference with obstacles (such as steel bars inside the ALC structure).

[0016] The upright pieces 12 rising from the left and right edges of the rear plate 11 of the mounting base 1 are for supporting the mounting plate 2, and screw holes 12a for attaching the mounting plate 2 are provided at the tip ends of the upright pieces 12.

[0017] The upright pieces 13 rising from the upper and lower edges of the rear plate 11 of the mounting base 1 have the function of supporting the surface member 3, and screw holes 13a for attaching the surface member 3 are provided in the upright pieces 13.

[0018] In this case, one temporary fixing screw for attaching the surface member 3 to the mounting base 1, one screw for each of the upper and lower Taking one of the screws or one of the screws (for example, the upper one) as the axis, the surface member 3 can be swung with respect to the mounting base 1 (see the arrows in FIGS. 1(a) and (c)). Therefore, the inner dimension of the back side portion 32 of the surface member 3, which is externally fitted to the mounting base 1 and will be described later, is formed to be larger with a margin than the outer dimension of the upright pieces 12 and 13 so that the surface member 3 can be swung. Note that by selecting the position of the temporary fixing screw on the left or right, it is possible to correspond to both right-opening and left-opening. Thereby, the heavy surface member 3 can be supported by the mounting base 1 attached to the wall surface, and electrical wiring work etc. can be performed in a semi-open state, specifically, in a state where it is opened up to about 50° at most, and the workability can be improved.

[0019] Also, among the standing pieces 13, a stepped portion 13b that is recessed by the thickness of the mounting plate 2 is formed at the front edge portion of the standing piece 13 that is raised from the upper edge. This stepped portion 13b is configured to place the upper edge portion 22 among the edge portions formed by shallowly bending the peripheral edge of the mounting plate 2. Thereby, with the operation panel OP disposed and the heavy mounting plate 2 supported by the mounting base 1 attached to the wall surface, it can be attached to the mounting base 1, and the workability can be improved.

[0020] At the tip of the standing piece 12 of the mounting base 1 and at the tip of the standing piece 13 among the standing pieces 13 that are raised from the upper edge, a waterproof tape 41 for water stop between the mounting plate 2 is provided. Also, around the opening 21a for mounting the operation panel OP on the surface of the mounting plate 2, a waterproof tape 42 for water stop between the surface member 3 is provided. In this way, by providing the waterproof tapes 41 and 42, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the operation panel mounting box, and the operation panel mounting box can be installed outdoors where, for example, rainwater splashes.

[0021] Here, a cross member 14 is attached to an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the mounting base 1 so as to correspond to the waterproof tape 42 attached to the surface of the mounting plate 2. Thereby, by supporting the back surface of the mounting plate 2 with the cross member 14, the waterproof tape 42 is sufficiently compressed between the mounting base 1 and the mounting plate 2, and a water stop effect can be surely obtained.

[0022] The mounting plate 2 is provided with an opening 21a for mounting the operation panel OP, an opening 21b for preventing interference with the key operation member K and the card reader C mounted on the surface member 3, and screw holes 21c for screwing the mounting plate 2 to the standing piece 12 of the mounting base 1.

[0023] The surface member 3 is composed of a front side portion 31 and a back side portion 32 formed smaller than the front side portion 31 so that only the front side portion 31 is visible when viewed from the front. As a result, when viewed from the front, the contact portion with the wall surface of the back side portion 32 (a sealing material can be applied to this contact portion as necessary to maintain waterproofness.) cannot be visually recognized, and the design property can be improved.

[0024] The front side portion 31 of the front surface member 3 is provided with an opening 31a for exposing the operation panel OP and openings 31b and 31c for mounting the key operation member K and the card reader C. Here, when the key operation member K or the card reader C is not used and other devices are used instead, the openings 31b and 31c may not be provided, or openings adapted to other devices may be provided.

[0025] The back side portion 32 is externally fitted to the mounting base 1 and is provided with screw holes 32a for screwing to the upright pieces 13 rising from the upper and lower edges of the rear panel 11 of the mounting base 1.

[0026] As described above, the operation panel mounting box of the present invention has been described based on its embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and its configuration can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist thereof.

Industrial Applicability

[0027] The operation panel mounting box of the present invention can be suitably used for the purpose of an operation panel mounting box used for mounting an operation panel with electrical wiring on a wall surface because it satisfies all of fire resistance, design property, and constructability when mounting the operation panel with electrical wiring on a wall surface.
