Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-20292 JP 2003-158786 A JP 2002-102985 A

However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above has a problem in that a screw is included in an insulator, and if the screw is fixed by screwing, chatter may occur when the screw touches a housing or the like. There is.
Further, the techniques described in Patent Documents 2 to 3 are intended to control the occurrence of resonance itself, and do not absorb the vibration generated in the speaker. Therefore, the generated vibration cannot be absorbed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a panel type television using a speaker mounting structure using an elastic member that absorbs vibration without using a screw, and a speaker mounting structure.

In order to achieve the above object, a speaker unit mounting structure according to a main invention includes a speaker having a flange-shaped mounting portion and a housing having an opening that exposes the speaker while accommodating the speaker. A mounting structure of the speaker unit, wherein the inside of the housing is a rib portion that can contact the speaker and support the speaker from the front surface, and is a peripheral edge of the opening and separated by a predetermined distance After projecting from the position and extending by a predetermined distance, it is bent to the opening side so that the flange-shaped part is enclosed from the outer peripheral side, and a shelf part that can point the flange-shaped part from the back side is provided. It is configured to include a plate-like elastic member that can be slidably inserted between the flange-shaped portion of the speaker and the shelf of the housing and that can be engaged with the concave and convex portions.

At least the following matters will become clear from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.
According to the configuration of the main invention, a force is applied to the speaker in the direction from the housing to the speaker by the rib portion of the housing, and the elastically engaged between the shelf portion of the housing and the speaker. A force is applied to the speaker in the direction from the shelf to the housing by the member. Therefore, the speaker is supported and fixed by both forces. Therefore, there is no need to fix with screws or the like, and only the elastic members and ribs are used. When the screw is touching the speaker, it is easy to transmit the vibration to the housing, but since it is fixed using an elastic member that absorbs vibration, the vibration of the speaker is difficult to be transmitted to the housing.
Here, the rib portion refers to a reinforcing material attached at a right angle from a plane such as a housing. In the present invention, it is used as a support member.

If comprised as mentioned above, the rib part of a speaker will enter into the rib part of the said housing | casing which is the same shape as the rib part of a speaker and is outside the opening part by the thickness of the rib part of a speaker. Therefore, before the elastic member is inserted and fixed, the speaker can be positioned because the rib portion of the speaker is surrounded.

Further, as an example of the elastic member, a configuration made of rubber is used.
According to such a configuration, by using a general material such as rubber, a special material is not used, so that the cost can be reduced.

Based on the above configuration, the panel television as a more specific configuration is a channel selected from a display that displays video, a speaker that outputs audio, and a television broadcast signal received by an antenna. A tuner that extracts and outputs the TV broadcast signal, a video / audio processing unit that displays video on the display and outputs audio to the speaker based on the TV broadcast signal output by the tuner, and a display area of the display A panel type television comprising an opening to be exposed and a front cabinet having an opening for a speaker, wherein the speaker has holes at both ends in a crank shape and a rib portion surrounding the periphery of a cone plate And the front cabinet surrounds the periphery of the opening at the edge of the opening for the speaker, and A rib portion that is the same shape as the rib portion of the speaker on the outside of the rib portion of the speaker and protrudes outside the thickness of the rib portion, and protrudes from the front cabinet and extends a predetermined distance, and then the front cabinet and A shelf portion bent so as to be substantially parallel, and the bent portion of the shelf portion has a hole at a position where it can come into contact with the hole of the speaker, and the rib portion of the speaker and the front cabinet And a rubber member that is slidably inserted between the hole of the front cabinet and the hole of the speaker. The rubber member is a circular plate-like member. At the center of the portion and the plate-like portion, there is a configuration having a convex portion that can be engaged with the hole of the front cabinet and the hole of the speaker.

The height of the rib portion 45 protruding from the front cabinet 41 of the rib portion 35 to the inside of the cabinet is preferably higher than the height of the rib portion of the speaker 30. This is to prevent the speaker from touching the inner wall of the peripheral edge of the rib portion of the front cabinet 41 due to the vibration of the speaker 30.
In the present embodiment, both the rib portion 35 and the rib portion 44 have an elliptical shape, but two rib portions are alternately provided on the circumference of the elliptical shape, thereby drawing one elliptical shape. May be.

Next, a method for fixing the front cabinet 41 and the speaker 30 with the rubber member 20 will be described. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the rubber member 20 when the speaker 30 is fixed. In order to achieve such a state, the following work is performed.
First, the speaker 30 is placed on the front cabinet 41. At this time, the crank portion 33 of the speaker 30 is placed below the bent portion 43b of the front cabinet. The speaker rib portion 35 enters the inside of the rib portion 44 of the front cabinet, and the speaker portion 30 is aligned by the rib portion 35 being surrounded. Further, the rib portion 44 of the front cabinet supports the speaker 30 even when a force is applied in the direction of the front cabinet 41.

  At this time, in order to prevent resonance at this portion, a vibration absorber may be attached in advance to one of the ribs, or a thin vibration absorber may be sandwiched between the ribs. If it does in this way, it can prevent that ribs touch and vibration is transmitted.

  When the speaker 30 is installed in the front cabinet 41, a gap is formed between the bent portion 43b and the crank portion 33. The rubber member 20 is slid into the gap. The convex portions 21 on both sides of the rubber member 20 are engaged with and fixed to the speaker hole 34 and the shelf hole 43c, respectively.

  Since the rubber member 20 is slightly thicker than the gap, when the rubber member 20 is inserted in a predetermined position so as to be compressed in the thickness direction, the thickness of the rubber member 20 is restored between the bent portion 43b of the shelf portion and the speaker 30. Therefore, the bent portion 43b and the speaker 30 are pressed toward the front cabinet 41. However, since the force received by the speaker 30 is supported by the rib portion 44 on the front side, the speaker 30 is fixed by the force received from both sides. The frictional force also works to fix the speaker 30.

  In addition, since there are irregularities, the convex portions 21 and 21 of the rubber member 20 enter and engage with the concave portions 34 and 43 c, so that even when a force in the vertical and horizontal directions when the television 100 is installed works. The convex portions 21 and 21 are not detached from the respective concave portions 34 and 43c.

  That is, the speaker 30 is positioned on the front cabinet 41 by the rib portion 44 and the rib portion 35. When the position is determined, the rubber member 20 is slid into the gap formed between the bent portion 43b and the crank portion 33, and the convex portion 21 of the rubber member 20 is engaged with the hole 34 of the speaker and the hole 43c of the shelf portion.
