Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gehäuse für elektrische und elektronische Geräte, insbesondere für Computer und deren Peripheriegeräte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentan spruches 1. Solche Gehäuse sind allgemein bekannt und im Handel erhältlich. Die Gehäuse sind rechteckig und werden je nach Anwendungsfall, Benutzerwünschen oder räumlichen Verhältnissen am Arbeitsplatz hochkant, d. h. auf einer ihrer kleineren Seitenflächen stehend, oder flach, d. h. auf einer ihrer größeren Seitenflächen aufgestellt.The invention relates to a housing for electrical and electronic devices, in particular for computers and their peripheral devices according to the preamble of the patent saying 1. Such housings are generally known and in Available commercially. The cases are rectangular and will be depending on the application, user requirements or spatial Editing in the workplace, d. H. on a their smaller side faces standing, or flat, d. H. placed on one of their larger side surfaces.
Bei den bekannten Gehäusen, wie z. B. bei Computern oder Festplattenspeichern (Disk Arrays (RAID)), entscheidet sich der Hersteller für eine Ausrichtung des Displays (Anzei geeinheit) und der Bedienelemente an der Frontseite des Gehäuses. Stellt der Benutzer das Gehäuse dann anders auf, so stehen die genannten Elemente in vertikaler Ausrichtung und sind schwer abzulesen bzw. zu bedienen.In the known housings, such as. B. in computers or Hard disk storage (disk arrays (RAID)) decides the manufacturer decides to align the display (Anzei unit) and the controls on the front of the Housing. If the user then positions the housing differently, so the elements mentioned are in a vertical orientation and are difficult to read or use.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, daß Gehäuse der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß bei allen üblichen Aufstellungen des Gehäuses das Display gut ablesbar ist und eventuell vorhandene Bedientasten bequem zu bedienen sind.The object of the invention is that the housing of the beginning to improve the type mentioned so that in all The usual positions of the case make the display easy to read and any existing control buttons are easy to use are.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbil dungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved by the specified in claim 1 Features solved. Advantageous refinements and training The invention can be found in the subclaims.
Das Grundprinzip der Erfindung besteht darin, das Display und die ggf. vorhandenen Bedienelemente an einer Scheibe anzubringen, die ihrerseits an der Frontplatte des Gehäuses befestigt wird. Die Scheibe kann dann in den gewünschten Ausrichtungen befestigt werden, wobei es bei einem Computer gehäuse mit nur zwei Ausrichtungen genügt, wenn die Scheibe um ihre 90° verdrehten Ausrichtungen an der Frontplatte befestigt ist. Hierzu sind zweckmäßigerweise an der Scheibe vier je um 90° versetzte Schraublöcher und an der Frontplatte des Gehäuses entsprechende Gewindebohrungen vorgesehen.The basic principle of the invention is the display and any controls on a disc attach, which in turn on the front panel of the housing is attached. The disc can then be placed in the desired position Alignments are fastened to a computer Housing with only two orientations is sufficient if the disc 90 ° rotations on the front panel is attached. For this purpose are expediently on the disc four screw holes, each offset by 90 °, and on the front panel corresponding threaded holes are provided in the housing.
Die Scheibe kann in der Draufsicht sowohl kreisrund als auch quadratisch sein.The disc can be both circular and plan view also be square.
Der Benutzer hat mit der Erfindung die Möglichkeit, auch nachträglich das Display und die Bedienelemente anders auszurichten und auch später die Ausrichtung wieder zu ändern. Er muß lediglich einige Schrauben lösen, die Scheibe verdrehen und wieder befestigen.The user has the possibility with the invention, too retrospectively the display and the controls align and also later the alignment again to change. He only has to loosen a few screws, the washer twist and fasten again.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbei spieles im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung ausführlicher erläutert. Es zeigt:In the following, the invention is illustrated by means of an embodiment game in connection with the drawing in more detail explained. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine teilweise abgeschnittene Frontansicht eines Gehäuses in vertikaler Ausrichtung; Figure 1 is a partially cut front view of a housing in a vertical orientation.
Fig. 2 eine entsprechende Ansicht in horizontaler Aus richtung; und Fig. 2 is a corresponding view in the horizontal direction; and
Fig. 3 eine Explosionsdarstellung eines Gehäuses nach der Erfindung. Fig. 3 is an exploded view of a housing according to the invention.
Zunächst wird auf die Fig. 1 und 2 Bezug genommen. Das Gehäuse 1 hat eine Frontplatte 2, die üblicherweise abnehmbar ist und mit Schrauben 3 am Gehäuse befestigbar ist. Die Frontplatte 2 hat einen ersten Ausschnitt 4 zum Einschub verschiedener Bauelemente 5, wie z. B. Festplatten, Laufwerke etc. Weiter hat das Gehäuse der Fig. 1 eine kreisrunde Öffnung 6, die von einer ebenfalls kreisrunden Platte 7 verschließbar ist, wobei die Platte 7 über vier Schrauben 8 an der Frontplatte 2 befestigbar ist. An der Scheibe 7 ist mindestens eine Anzeigeeinheit, im folgenden Display 9 genannt, angebracht sowie mehrere Bedienelemente 10, 11, die Tasten, Schalter o. ä. sein können.First, reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 2. The housing 1 has a front plate 2 , which is usually removable and can be fastened to the housing with screws 3 . The front panel 2 has a first cutout 4 for inserting various components 5 , such as. B. hard drives, drives, etc. Furthermore, the housing of FIG. 1 has a circular opening 6 , which can be closed by a likewise circular plate 7 , the plate 7 being attachable to the front plate 2 by means of four screws 8 . At least one display unit, hereinafter referred to as the display 9 , is attached to the disk 7 , and a plurality of operating elements 10 , 11 , which can be buttons, switches or the like.
Das Gehäuse 1 der Fig. 1 steht hochkant, also senkrecht zur Längsachse 12 der Frontplatte 2. Als Längsachse wird hier die Länge der Seite der Frontplatte bezeichnet. Das Display 9 ist damit parallel zur Querachse 13 ausgerichtet, so daß es bequem ablesbar ist. Ebenso sind die Bedienelemen te 10 und 11 und deren eventuelle Beschriftung parallel zur Querachse 13 ausgerichtet.The housing 1 of FIG. 1 is upright, that is to say perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 12 of the front plate 2 . The length of the side of the front panel is referred to here as the longitudinal axis. The display 9 is thus aligned parallel to the transverse axis 13 so that it is easy to read. Likewise, the controls 10 and 11 and their possible labeling are aligned parallel to the transverse axis 13 .
Soll das Gehäuse flach aufgestellt werden, also parallel zur Längsachse 12 der Frontplatte 2, wie es in Fig. 2 darge stellt ist, so muß lediglich die Scheibe 7 gelöst, um 90° gedreht und wieder befestigt werden. Natürlich wäre auch eine Aufstellung "über Kopf" möglich. Die Scheibe muß dann um 180° gedreht werden.If the housing is to be placed flat, that is to say parallel to the longitudinal axis 12 of the front plate 2 , as shown in FIG. 2, only the disk 7 has to be loosened, rotated by 90 ° and reattached. Of course, an installation "upside down" would also be possible. The disc must then be turned through 180 °.
Wie mit dem Bezugszeichen 7' angedeutet, kann die Scheibe auch quadratisch sein, was im Ermessen des Konstrukteurs liegt. As indicated by reference numeral 7 ', the disk can also be square, which is at the designer's discretion.
Die Explosionsdarstellung der Fig. 3 verdeutlicht noch einmal den Gesamtaufbau eines kompletten Gehäuses einschließ lich eines Rahmengestells 14 mit den üblichen Führungsschie nen für Einschübe sowie einer zweiteiligen Rückwand 15, 16. Die Scheibe 7 hat entsprechend dem Display 9 eine recht eckige Aussparung 9' und entsprechend den Bedienelementen 10 Aussparungen 10'.The exploded view of FIG. 3 illustrates again the overall construction of a complete housing confining Lich of a rack 14 with the usual sliding guide NEN insertions as well as a two-part rear wall 15, 16. According to the display 9, the disk 7 has a right-angled recess 9 'and, according to the operating elements 10, recesses 10 '.
