Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to the improvement of an operation panel of a device, particularly an operation lid that is provided so that the internal operation display section or operation operation section can be seen through.

[Prior art]

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an air conditioner, in which 1 is the main body of the air conditioner, 2 is a side panel that constitutes both sides and the back of the main body 1 of the air conditioner, and 3 is a refrigerator housed in the main body 1. A front panel 4 constitutes the front of the main body 1 and has an opening 3a in a portion corresponding to the operation display section and operation operation section (not shown) of the cycle equipment. This is an operation lid device that is attached to cover a display section and an operation section (not shown).

FIG. 2 is a front view and a sectional view showing a conventional operation lid device. In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes an operation lid equipped with an opening 6 for seeing through the operation display section and operation operation section (not shown), and the periphery is bent. It is shaped like a box. 7
is a see-through member that is attached to the operation lid 5 from the back side with adhesive so as to cover the see-through opening 6, and is made of a transparent or translucent flat resin material and has the same external shape as the inside of the folded portion of the operation lid 5. . 8 is a handle for opening and closing the operation lid 5.

However, in the operation lid 5, since the transparent member 7 matches the shape of the inside of the operation lid 5, positioning during pasting work can be easily done, but the material cost of the transparent member 7 is high. It had the disadvantage of being.

FIG. 3 is a front view of an operation lid device for improving this drawback. In the figure, the operation lid 5 is the same as that in FIG. It is smaller than the inner side of the part and larger than the transparent opening 6, and is attached to the back side of the operation lid 5 with an adhesive so as to cover the transparent opening 6.

However, in the case of the operation lid member, although the material cost of the see-through member 7 is lower than that shown in FIG. At times, there were various drawbacks such as the adhesive easily flowing out to the side of the viewing opening 6 and the adhesive being not strong enough to easily peel off.

[Summary of the idea]

This invention was made for the purpose of improving these various drawbacks. By forming the transparent member in a triangular shape, it is possible to reduce material costs, and at the same time, one of the vertices of the transparent member can be connected to the operating cover. The present invention proposes an operation panel device that allows easy installation and positioning by abutting the inner surface of a bent portion of the operation panel device.

[Example of idea]

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of this invention, in which 1 to 6 and 8 are completely the same as the conventional one, and the transparent member 7 is placed in the only predetermined position when it is fitted inside the operation lid 5. It is possible to fit only in
It is formed into a triangular shape with dimensions that cannot be rotated.

As explained above, this invention uses a simple device of forming the transparent member 7 into a triangular shape, which reduces the material cost by half of the conventional material, and also makes positioning during pasting work easier. It is easy to do, and by setting the gluing point at the x mark near the apex of the triangle, a sufficient bonding space can be secured, and a sufficient bonding effect can be obtained without the adhesive flowing out into the see-through opening 6 of the operation lid 5. becomes possible.

Note that the transparent member 7 does not necessarily need to be attached using adhesive.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in this invention, the see-through member is formed into a triangular shape and is attached with one of the vertices of the see-through member in contact with the inner surface of the bent part of the operation lid, reducing the material cost of the see-through member. Thus, it is possible to obtain an operation panel device in which the transparent member can be easily positioned when it is attached.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of an air conditioner equipped with an operating lid device, Fig. 2 is a front view and sectional view showing a first example of a conventional operating lid device, and Fig. 3 is a diagram of a conventional operating lid device. FIG. 4 is a front view of the improved operating lid device showing an embodiment of this invention. In the figure, 1 is the air conditioner, 2 is the side panel,
3 is a front panel, 4 is an operation lid device, 5 is an operation lid,
6 is a penetrating portion, and 7 is a resin member. In each figure, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The operation display section or operation section of the device is attached to the main body of the device, and the operation display section or operation section has an opening for seeing through the operation display section or the operation operation section, and is formed into a box shape by bending the periphery. It includes a rectangular operation lid that covers the operation operation section, and a transparent member attached to the back side of the operation lid so as to close the opening of the operation lid, and the transparent member is formed in a triangular shape. An operation panel device for an equipment, characterized in that three apexes are supported by abutting on the inner circumferential edge of an operation lid, and one of the apexes is positioned by abutting against a bent corner of the operation lid.
