Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a remote control transmitter is often attached to an electronic device in the CATV industry in order to enable its operation from a remote place. That is, the operation of the electronic device is usually performed by the operation button of the remote control transmitter. However, as a backup in case the remote control transmitter breaks down or is lost, the remote control transmitter is usually provided with a minimum necessary operation function so that the operation can be performed on the electronic device side. Hereinafter, an example of the above-described conventional electronic device operation device will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of a conventional electronic device operating device, and FIG.
The drawing is a cross-sectional view taken along the line YY of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a partially cutaway plan view taken along the arrow C in FIG. 4 to 6, 15 is a housing cover, 16 is an operation button, 17 is a recess in front of the housing cover, 18 is a base of the operation button integrally formed with the housing cover, and 19 is an arm of the operation button. Part, 20 is a panel, 21 is a slit, 22 is a housing body, 23 is a printed circuit board, 24 is a switch, 25 is a foot of an operation button, 26 is a movable part of a switch, 27
Is a contact rib. Regarding the electronic device operation device configured as described above,
The operation will be described below. A recess 17 is formed in a part of the front of the housing cover 15, and in the electronic device operation device in which the operation button 16 is arranged in this portion, the operation button 16 is formed integrally with the housing cover 15,
Further, the arm 19 is formed thin with respect to the base 18, and is deflected by the elasticity of the plastic when the operation button 16 is pressed as shown by an arrow B (FIG. 5). Further, a panel 20 is provided on the surface, which is a slit 21 which is inevitably formed because the movable operation button 16 and the housing cover 15 are integrally formed.
And displays an explanation of the operation. On the other hand, a printed circuit board 23 on which a switch 24 necessary for operating the electronic device is directly fixed is fixed to the housing body 22, and the center of the switch 24 is almost aligned with the tip of the foot 25 of the operation button 16 so that the switch 24 is movable. The part 26 is arranged. Further, since dimensional accuracy of the tip of the foot 25 of the operation button 16 and the tip of the movable part 26 of the switch 24 is required, the housing body 22 and the printed circuit board are required.
The contact rib 27 is formed integrally with the housing cover 15 and provided in the vicinity of the operation button 16 in order to precisely regulate the vertical position of the 23. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the configuration in which the housing cover and the operation buttons are integrally molded as described above, the operation buttons can be provided only on the top surface of the set due to the structure of the plastic mold, and the design and function And had great restrictions. In addition, a panel is required on the surface to cover a slit that is inevitably formed for integrally forming the operation button and the housing cover,
There was a problem that the cost was high. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide an electronic device operating device in which operation buttons are arranged on the front surface of a set, and switches mounted directly on a printed circuit board can be operated from the front surface, and a panel is not required. It is the purpose. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the electronic device operation device of the present invention is characterized in that the operation button is resin-molded in a separate piece from the housing cover, and these two pieces are combined and integrated, The operation buttons are provided on the front surface of the housing cover. Operation According to the above configuration, the switch directly attached to the main printed circuit board can be operated from the front of the set without the need for parts such as the panel. Embodiment Hereinafter, an electronic apparatus operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an electronic apparatus operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG.
The figure is a perspective view of the operation button. 1 to 3, 1 is a housing cover, 2 is an operation button, 3 is a button portion, 4 is an arm of the operation button, 5 is an outer frame of the operation button, 6 is a claw portion of the operation button, and 7 is a claw portion of the operation button. An operation button mounting hole of the housing cover, 8 is a stopper, 9 is a rib, 10 is a housing main body, 11 is a switch, 12 is a printed circuit board, 13 is an operation button foot, and 14 is a contact rib. Regarding the electronic device operation device configured as described above,
The operation will be described below. In the electronic device operation device in which the operation buttons 2 are arranged on the front surface of the housing cover 1, the operation buttons 2 are formed as a separate piece from the housing cover 1 and formed by resin molding. Numeral 1 is mechanically attached. As shown in FIG. 3, the operation button 2 is composed of a button portion 3, an operation button arm 4, and an operation button outer frame 5, and a claw portion 6 of the operation button 2 is attached to the operation button mounting hole 7 of the housing cover 1. The operation button 2 is rotated using the fulcrum as a fulcrum, and the outer frame 5 of the operation button 2 is pushed into the stopper 8 of the housing cover 1 and stopped, so that the rib 9 of the operation button 2 is placed inside the housing cover 1. The operation button 2 is securely fixed to the housing cover 1 by pressing and utilizing the elasticity of plastic. By pressing the button portion 3 as shown by an arrow A (FIG. 2), the arm 4 of the operation button is bent. On the other hand, a printed circuit board 12 on which a switch 11 necessary for operating an electronic device is directly fixed is fixed to the housing body 10, and the switch 11 is operated by the foot 13 of the operation button. Further, since the dimensional accuracy of the foot 13 of the operation button and the tip of the switch 11 is required, the contact rib 14 is integrally formed with the housing cover 1 in order to precisely control the vertical position of the housing body 10 and the printed circuit board 12. In addition, it is provided near the operation button 2. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operation button 2 can be mounted on the front surface of the housing cover 1 without being restricted in design or function. It is possible to change the material suitable for the function of only the operation button 2 as a button, and it is also possible to freely change the color tone in design. Conventionally, a panel provided for covering the slit is not required, so that the cost of parts can be reduced. Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the operation button is formed as a separate molded part, so that it is difficult to integrally mold the mold structure,
It is possible to arrange buttons on the front of the housing cover,
The practical effects are significant.
