JP 2003-293983 A JP 2005-248735 A

  However, in the remote control housing structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the aesthetic appearance of the entire fan is impaired by the remote control holder attached to the support that supports the fan motor. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the remote control that has been bent forward, and the remote control holder is required to be removed, which is particularly burdensome for the elderly and may cause back pain in some cases.

  Also, since it is very cumbersome to operate the remote control that is bent forward every time it is required to operate, it is often the case that the remote control is removed from the remote control holder and kept at hand. There was also a problem that the remote control was often lost.

  In the remote control housing structure described in Patent Document 2, the remote control housing is provided in the support portion fitted to the base, and is configured to be operable in a state where the remote control is housed in the remote control housing. Although it is possible to avoid the misplacement or loss of the remote control, there is a problem that workability deteriorates because the remote control installed near the floor has to bend forward in the mid-loose posture as described above.

  In addition, it is configured to be able to control the operation of each part of the electric fan main unit by operating the operation unit configured on the bottom surface of the remote control storage unit, but it is positioned as a sub operation device with respect to the remote control that is the main operation device. However, since a plurality of functions are integrated in one operation unit, there is a problem that not only the workability but also the operability is bad.

  The same problem is not limited to electric fans, and the same applies to other electric devices such as heaters.

  In view of the above-described conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a housing structure and a fan for a remote control device that can ensure good workability for operation without impairing the design of the entire device. .

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first characteristic configuration of the remote control device housing structure according to the present invention is that of the remote control device for controlling the operation of the device main body as described in claim 1 of the claims. a housing structure, the device with the casing on the upper surface of the casing of the gripping portion is the apparatus main body for gripping to the lifting or moving body provided to face at a gap, the gripping portion, the upper A recess is formed in which the remote control device is opened and is inserted in an upward posture in which the operation unit can be operated. The engagement formed in the remote control device by inserting the remote control device into the recess. There is a holding mechanism for holding the remote control device inserted in the recess by engaging the recess or the engagement protrusion with the engagement protrusion or the engagement recess formed in the recess. .

According to the configuration described above, the operator can support the gripping portion provided on the upper side of the apparatus main body in the standing posture with the palm or lift and move it with the hand. remotely controlled device charged in the recess is, since the engaging recess and the engaging protrusion by charging the remote control device is held so as not to easily separated by a retaining mechanism that engages the recess, movement Sometimes the remote control device does not leave, and it is possible to realize a remote control device housing structure that does not impair the overall aesthetic appearance of the device, and the remote control device can be inserted into or removed from the recess. You can work while keeping your standing posture without bending your back. In addition, since the operation unit can be operated with the remote control device inserted in the recess, it is not necessary to bend and operate in the middle waist posture, and the operator operates the operation unit while maintaining the standing posture. This makes it possible to improve the workability during operation.

In the second feature configuration, as described in claim 2, in addition to the first feature configuration described above, the concave portion has a depth greater than the thickness of the remote control device along the longitudinal direction of the grip portion. The remote control device is inserted into the recess in a posture in which the longitudinal direction of the remote control device is along the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion .

Since the remote control device is inserted in the recess formed along the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the grip portion , the grip portion can be configured to be narrow and can be easily gripped. In addition, even if the gripping part is gripped to lift or move the device body , the concave part is formed to a depth greater than the thickness of the remote control device, so the operation part of the remote control device is operated incorrectly. There is nothing to do.

In the third feature configuration, as described in claim 3 , in addition to the first feature configuration or the second feature configuration described above, the recess has an upper end of the recess in a state where the remote control device is inserted. The point is formed so as to be positioned above the upper end of the remote control device.

  When the operator supports the grip part with a palm, even if the fingertip wound around the grip part may come into contact with the remote control device accommodated in the recess, the upper end of the recess is the upper end of the remote control device. Since it is formed so as to be located at a higher position, the movement of a finger or the like is limited, and it is possible to effectively avoid operating the operation unit of the remote control device unintentionally.

  In the fourth feature configuration, in addition to any of the first to third feature configurations described above, a radio signal output unit for remote control is provided on one end surface of the remote control device. Is provided, and an opening is formed in a portion of the recess facing the signal output unit.

  When the operation unit of the remote control device is operated in the state of being inserted into the recess, a signal for remote operation, for example, an infrared signal is output from the wireless signal output unit provided in the remote control device. Since such a signal for remote control is reliably transmitted to the external space from the opening formed in the portion facing the signal output unit without being blocked or attenuated by the recess, the separate receiving unit is held by the grip unit. Even if it is not provided, the main body can be operated by operating the remote control device in that state.

As described in claim 5, the electric fan according to the present invention is an electric fan in which an electric motor casing is attached to a support erected on a pedestal, and a fan guard is attached to the electric motor casing via an attachment plate. And an L-shaped gripping portion having one end rising from the upper surface on the rear end side of the electric motor casing and the other end fixed to the mounting plate. The remote control device housing structure having the characteristic configuration is incorporated .

  According to the above-described configuration, since the remote control device is not attached to the device main body in a manner as if asserting its existence, the design of the entire device is not impaired. Moreover, since it can be easily operated in a standing posture, the fan can be operated without placing a burden on the legs.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a housing structure and a fan for a remote control device that can ensure good workability for operation without impairing the design of the entire device. .

By arranging 12c, the storage space is reduced as much as possible.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a grip portion 30 for lifting or moving the electric fan 100 is provided on the upper portion of the electric motor casing 20. The grip portion 30 is formed of an L-shaped resin member in a side view, and one end is fitted and fixed to a mounting plate 26 fixed to the front end side of the motor casing 20, and the other end is fixed to the upper surface of the rear end side of the motor casing 20. Has been.

  A housing structure for inserting the remote control device 40 into the grip portion 30 is embodied. Hereinafter, the housing structure of the remote control device 40 will be described in detail.

  The remote control device 40 is a casing 41 having a thin and substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, an operation button 43 provided on the upper surface of the casing 41, and a wireless signal output unit for remote control provided at the front end of the casing 41. An infrared output unit 42 (only a reference numeral is shown in the figure), a battery replacement lid 41 a provided on the back surface of the casing 41, a control board accommodated in the casing 41, and the like are configured. Yes.

  As the operation buttons 43, there are provided a power operation button 43a that operates by supplying power to the electric fan 100, an air volume adjustment button 43b, a swing operation button 43c, a timer setting button 43d, and the like.

  The grip portion 30 is formed with a concave portion 30a opened upward along the longitudinal direction thereof. The length, width, and depth of the recess 30a are formed to a size that allows the above-described remote control device 40 to be inserted. The recess 30a and the remote control device 40 are provided with the recess 30a after the remote control device 40 is inserted. A holding mechanism 50 for holding the remote control device 40 is provided so that the remote control device 40 is not easily detached from the remote control device 40.

  The holding mechanism 50 includes a pair of locking projections 51 formed on both inner walls on one end side of the recess 30a, that is, the rear end side of the motor casing 20, and a pair of engagement recesses formed on the left and right sides of the remote control device 40. 52, and the remote control device 40 is lightly pushed into the recess 30a from above so that the bottom surface of the remote control device 40 faces the bottom of the recess 30a. So that the charged state is maintained.

  When removing the remote control device 40 held by the holding mechanism 50, a finger is put on the rear end portion of the casing 41 from one end side of the recess 30a, and the fingertip is put in a slight gap between the bottom surface of the recess 30a and the casing 41. It is only necessary to release the engagement state between the locking projection 51 and the engagement recess 52 by lifting up and moving upward.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, an opening 31 is formed at one end of the concave portion 30a fitted and fixed to the mounting plate 26, that is, at a portion facing the infrared output portion 42 (see FIG. 3B). When the operation button 43 of the remote control device 40 is operated while being inserted into the recess 30a and held by the holding mechanism 50, an infrared operation signal is output from the infrared output unit 42 at the front end of the casing 41. Since the light receiving unit 14 is arranged so as to straddle the connecting portion between the base 10 and the support column 12 as described above, the light receiving unit 14 is reflected by the fans accommodated in the fan guards 16 and 18 after passing through the opening 31, or The operation signal reflected on the wall is incident on the light receiving unit 14 (see FIG. 1A).

  The infrared operation signal detected by the light receiving unit 14 is input to a control board accommodated in the pedestal 10, and the operation control of the electric fan 100 corresponding to each operation signal is performed by the control unit provided on the control board.

  Therefore, the fan 100 can be operated by operating the remote control device 40 in this state without providing the grip 30 or a separate receiver near the grip 30.

  According to the above-described configuration, the operator can lift and move the grip portion 30 provided on the upper side of the electric fan 100 with his / her palm in a standing posture, and is formed in such a grip portion 30. Since the remote control device 40 is inserted into the recess 30a and is held so as not to be easily detached by the holding mechanism 50, the remote control device 40 does not insist strongly on its existence, and the entire device is integrated. A certain aesthetic can be obtained.

  In addition, even when the remote control device 40 is inserted into the recess 30a or the remote control device 40 is removed from the recess 30a, it is possible to work while maintaining an upright posture without bending the waist. Since it becomes possible to operate the electric fan 100, it is not necessary to bend forward and operate in the middle waist posture, and it can be operated very easily.

Hereinafter, another embodiment will be described.
The holding mechanism 50 constituting a part of the housing structure of the remote control device 40 is not limited to the configuration described with reference to FIG. 3B, and various modes can be adopted.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the holding mechanism 50 includes a pair of locking projections 51 formed on the other end side of the recess 30a, that is, the inner walls on both sides on the mounting plate 26 side, and the casing 41 of the remote control device 40. You may be comprised with a pair of engagement recessed part 52 formed in the right-and-left both sides.

  Similarly to the above, the pair of locking projections 51 are moved into the pair of engaging recesses 52 by lightly pushing the remote control device 40 into the recess 30a from above so that the bottom surface of the remote control device 40 faces the bottom of the recess 30a. The fitting state is maintained.

  When removing the remote control device 40 held by the holding mechanism 50, a finger is put on the rear end portion of the casing 41 from one end side of the recess 30a, and the fingertip is put in a slight gap between the bottom surface of the recess 30a and the casing 41. The engagement state between the locking projection 51 and the engagement recess 52 can be released by lifting the upper end and lifting upward. Since the joint portion is separated from the rear end portion of the casing 41, a large moment for releasing the engagement state is generated simply by lifting the rear end portion of the casing 41 with a slight force. It becomes possible to disengage from the engaged state.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the holding mechanism 50 is formed on the left and right side portions of the guide rail 53 that is formed to protrude in the longitudinal direction inside the left and right side walls of the recess 30 a and the casing 41 of the remote control device 40. A pair of engaging groove portions 54 may be included. The engagement groove 54 is inserted into the guide rail 53 from one end side of the recess 30a, that is, the rear end side of the motor casing 20, and the remote control device 40 is inserted into the recess 30a by pushing in as it is, and the state is maintained.

  The guide rail 53 may be formed in a horizontal posture, but is configured in an inclined posture in which the depth side gradually falls downward, and an engagement groove portion formed in the casing 41 of the remote control device 40 so as to correspond to the guide rail 53. Similarly, when 54 is configured in an inclined posture, the remote control device 40 will not easily fall even if the motor casing 20 swings up and down.

  Contrary to the structure shown in FIG. 4B, the engagement groove 54 may be formed in the recess 30 a, and the guide rail 53 may be formed in the casing 41 of the remote control device 40.

  Further, a plate-like or chip-like ferromagnetic material (magnet) is arranged in the concave portion 30a, and iron, cobalt, and a portion of the casing 41 facing the ferromagnetic material in a state where the remote control device 40 is inserted into the concave portion 30a. A metal piece made of nickel or an alloy of these may be disposed, and a holding mechanism that holds the remote control device 40 in the recess 30a by magnetic force may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which no member is disposed in the opening 31 formed on one end side of the recessed portion 30a fitted and fixed to the mounting plate 26 has been described, but as illustrated in FIG. In the opening 31 formed on one end side of the recessed portion 30a fitted and fixed to the mounting plate 26, a rib 31a is formed at a position that does not block the propagation of infrared rays output from the infrared output portion 42, and the strength of the gripping portion 30 You may comprise so that it may raise. In this example, two ribs 31a and 31b are formed in the vertical direction on the left and right sides of the infrared output portion 42 provided at the left and right central portion of the front end portion of the casing 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (d), the recess 30a has a remote control device in which the upper end 30b (level indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure) of the recess 30a is in a state where the remote control device 40 is inserted. It is formed so as to be located above the upper end of 40. Specifically, the upper surface of each operation button 43 arranged so as to protrude upward from the upper surface of the casing 41 of the remote control device 40 is set to be lower than the upper end portion 30b of the recess 30a. Is preferred.

  According to such a configuration, even when the operator supports the grip portion 30 with his / her palm, the fingertip wound around the grip portion 30 may come into contact with the remote control device 40 accommodated in the recess 30a. Since the upper end of the recess 30a is positioned above the upper end of the remote control device 40, the movement of the finger is restricted, and the operation button 43 of the remote control device is operated unintentionally. This can be effectively avoided.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), it is preferable that the upper surface of each operation button 43 is configured to have a concave shape so as to fit the belly of the operator's finger, and good pressing comfort is provided when pressing the operation button. Can be obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, when the upper surface of each operation button 43 is configured to be lower than the upper surface of the casing 41 of the remote control device 40, the operation button 43 is intentionally pressed during operation. Therefore, not only when the gripping unit 30 in the state where the remote control device 40 is inserted is gripped but also when the operator operates the remote control device 40 detached from the gripping unit 30 by hand. It is possible to prevent the operation button 43 from being pressed by mistake.

  The structure of each operation button 43 is not particularly limited. As shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C, a tactile switch that presses an internal contact with a key top supported by a spring, As shown in FIG. 6D, a momentary switch such as a membrane switch in which an upper contact sheet and a lower contact sheet are bonded together with a spacer member interposed therebetween can be suitably used.

  Furthermore, each operation button 43 is not limited to a mode constituted by hardware switches. For example, a touch panel type in which a liquid crystal display unit is provided on the upper surface of the casing 41 and a transparent electrode sheet or the like is disposed on the upper surface of the liquid crystal display unit. The operation buttons may be configured by software switches.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 (e) and 6 (f), if the lower edge of the gripping portion 30 is formed in a convex curved shape on the lower side, the pressure distribution applied to the operator's palm and fingers becomes uniform. Can be lifted without feeling pain or discomfort. The bottom part of the grip part 30 may be formed in a flat surface as shown in FIG. 6E, or may be formed in a curved shape similar to the lower edge as shown in FIG.

  The housing structure of the remote control device 40 described above has been described with the example in which the concave portion 30a is opened upward along the longitudinal direction of the grip portion 30, but as shown in FIG. A recess 30a opened downward along the longitudinal direction may be provided, and the remote control device 40 may be inserted into the recess 30a so that the operation surface of the remote control device 40 faces the upper surface of the recess 30a. .

  According to such a configuration, the operation button is not erroneously operated even when the grasping portion 30 is strongly grasped. As shown in FIG. 6H, if the operation opening or slit 30c is formed on the upper surface of the recess 30a, the operation button 43 can be operated from the operation opening or slit 30c. Become. In this case, the holding mechanism 50 can be realized with the same configuration as the above-described example.

  Similarly, it may be configured to include a concave portion opened on either the left or right side along the longitudinal direction of the gripping portion, and to insert the remote control device into the concave portion. In this case as well, it is preferable that the remote control device is inserted into the recess so that the operation surface of the remote control device faces the wall portion on the opposite opening side of the recess. If an opening or slit for operation is formed in the part, the operation button can be operated from the opening or slit for operation. Also in this case, the holding mechanism 50 can be realized by the same configuration as the above-described example.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, the aspect in which the grip portion is formed along the longitudinal direction of the electric motor casing has been described. However, the grip portion may be disposed in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction, and the grip portion may be described above. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that each accommodation structure made may be implement | achieved.

  As described above, the example in which the housing structure of the remote control device is incorporated in the electric fan has been described. However, the housing structure of the remote control device according to the present invention is applied to various electric devices used in homes and offices such as a heater in addition to the electric fan.
