In such a system constituted by a plurality of devices, it may be required to connect the devices by stacking from the standpoints of limitation of installation space and appearance. Conventionally, when connecting each device, it has been common to attach one mounting bracket to each device and screw them (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-61195

しかし、上述した従来の連結機構では、作業者は、機器の並びを入れ替えたり、メンテナンスにより一部の機器を取り外す際などにおいて、煩雑なネジ止めの作業が必要であり、時間も要する。このため、簡易に機器を連結することが要求されている。   However, in the above-described conventional coupling mechanism, an operator needs complicated screwing work when changing the arrangement of devices or removing some devices due to maintenance, and time is also required. For this reason, it is required to easily connect devices.

本発明の目的は、上述した問題を解決するものであり、簡易に機器同士の連結が可能な機器連結機構を提供するものである。   An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems and to provide a device connection mechanism that can easily connect devices.

第１の機器と第２の機器とを連結する機器連結機構であって、非円形状の端面を有する第１の係止部材と、非円形状の端面を有する第２の係止部材とを有し、前記第１の係止部材が前記第１の機器に形成される非円形状の第１の孔を貫通して回動するとともに、前記第２の係止部材が前記第２の機器に形成される非円形状の第２の孔を貫通して回動し、前記第１の係止部材の延在方向と前記第２の係止部材の延在方向とが所定の位相差を有する構成となる。

And the first locking member rotates through a non-circular first hole formed in the first device, and the second locking member is the second device. The second locking member is rotated through the non-circular second hole formed in the first locking member, and the extending direction of the first locking member and the extending direction of the second locking member have a predetermined phase difference. It becomes the composition which has.

この構成により、第１の係止部材が第１の孔を貫通して回動することによって第１の機器に結合し、前記第１の係止部材の延在方向と所定の位相差をもって延在する第２の係止部材が第２の孔を貫通して回動することによって第２の機器に結合するため、機器連結機構を介して第１の機器と第２の機器とが連結される。
With this configuration, the first locking member rotates through the first hole to be coupled to the first device, and extends with a predetermined phase difference from the extending direction of the first locking member. Since the existing second locking member rotates through the second hole and is coupled to the second device, the first device and the second device are coupled via the device coupling mechanism. The

また、本発明の機器連結機構は、前記第１の係止部材に形成され、前記機器連結機構が第１の所定角度回動したときに前記第１の機器における前記第１の孔の近傍に形成された第１の凹部に嵌合する第１の凸部と、前記第２の係止部材に形成され、前記機器連結機構が第１の所定角度回動したときに前記第２の機器における前記第２の孔の近傍に形成された第２の凹部に嵌合する第２の凸部とを有するようにしてもよい。   In addition, the device connection mechanism of the present invention is formed on the first locking member, and in the vicinity of the first hole in the first device when the device connection mechanism rotates by a first predetermined angle. In the second device, when the device connecting mechanism is rotated by a first predetermined angle, the first projection is fitted to the formed first recess and the second locking member. You may make it have a 2nd convex part fitted to the 2nd recessed part formed in the vicinity of the said 2nd hole.

Is prevented from coming out of the second hole, and the devices can be reliably connected to each other.

また、本発明の機器連結機構は、前記第１の凸部が、前記機器連結機構が前記第１の所定角度よりも小さい第２の所定角度回動したときに前記第１の機器における前記第１の孔の近傍に形成された第３の凹部に嵌合し、前記第２の係止部材が、前記機器連結機構が第２の所定角度回動したときに前記第２の孔を貫通可能となるようにしてもよい。   The device connection mechanism of the present invention is the device connection mechanism according to the present invention, wherein the first convex portion rotates the second connection angle of the first device when the device connection mechanism is rotated by a second predetermined angle smaller than the first predetermined angle. It fits into a third recess formed in the vicinity of the first hole, and the second locking member can penetrate the second hole when the device connecting mechanism rotates by a second predetermined angle. You may make it become.

この構成により、機器連結機構は、第２の所定角度回動したときに、仮固定されることによって回動が規制されて、第２の係止部材が第２の孔との位置合わせがなされ、第２の係止部材が、第２の孔を貫通しやすくさせることができる。   With this configuration, when the device connecting mechanism is rotated by the second predetermined angle, the rotation is restricted by being temporarily fixed, and the second locking member is aligned with the second hole. The second locking member can easily penetrate the second hole.

本発明によれば、係止部材を機器に形成された孔に貫通させて機器連結機構を回動させるだけで、簡易に機器同士の連結が可能となる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to easily connect devices by simply passing the locking member through a hole formed in the device and rotating the device connecting mechanism.

以下、機器連結機構５０によるオーディオ機器１００−１とオーディオ機器１００−２の連結動作について説明する。図６は、連結動作における第１の工程を示す斜視図であり、図６（ａ）は上方からの斜視図、図６（ｂ）は下方からの斜視図である。第１の工程では、機器連結機構５０は、サイドパネル１０２−２に設けられた上部受け部４０−２の上方に配置される。このとき、機器連結機構５０は、下部係止部材７０の延在方向が上部受け部４０−２の円形部材４２に形成された孔４３の延在方向と一致するように配置される。   Hereinafter, the connection operation of the audio device 100-1 and the audio device 100-2 by the device connection mechanism 50 will be described. 6A and 6B are perspective views showing a first step in the connecting operation, in which FIG. 6A is a perspective view from above, and FIG. 6B is a perspective view from below. In the first step, the device coupling mechanism 50 is disposed above the upper receiving portion 40-2 provided on the side panel 102-2. At this time, the device coupling mechanism 50 is disposed so that the extending direction of the lower locking member 70 coincides with the extending direction of the hole 43 formed in the circular member 42 of the upper receiving portion 40-2.

図７は、連結動作における第２の工程を示す斜視図であり、図７（ａ）は上方からの斜視図、図７（ｂ）は下方からの斜視図である。第２の工程では、機器連結機構５０は、円筒部材５１の内周面が上部受け部４０−２の半円筒状部材４１の外周面に当接しつつ下方に移動し、下部係止部材７０が上部受け部４０−２の円形部材４２に形成された孔４３を貫通する。そして、機器連結機構５０の円形部材５２の下面が円形部材４２の上面に接触すると、機器連結機構５０の下方への移動が規制される。このとき、下部係止部材７０の上面は、円形部材４２の下面よりも僅かに下方に位置する。   7A and 7B are perspective views showing a second step in the connecting operation, in which FIG. 7A is a perspective view from above and FIG. 7B is a perspective view from below. In the second step, the device coupling mechanism 50 moves downward while the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 51 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the semi-cylindrical member 41 of the upper receiving portion 40-2, and the lower locking member 70 is moved. It penetrates the hole 43 formed in the circular member 42 of the upper receiving part 40-2. When the lower surface of the circular member 52 of the device coupling mechanism 50 contacts the upper surface of the circular member 42, the downward movement of the device coupling mechanism 50 is restricted. At this time, the upper surface of the lower locking member 70 is positioned slightly below the lower surface of the circular member 42.

図８は、連結動作における第３の工程を示す斜視図であり、図８（ａ）は上方からの斜視図、図８（ｂ）は下方からの斜視図である。第３の工程では、機器連結機構５０が上方から見て右回りに４５°回動する。回動中は、下部係止部材７０における凸部７２の上面に形成された凸部７４及び凸部７３の上面に形成された凸部７５が上部受け部４０−２の円形部材４２に接触するため、下部係止部材７０は、先端部が下方に付勢された状態となる。そして、機器連結機構５０が４５°回動し終えると、凸部７４が円形部材４２の下面に設けられた凹部４４に嵌合するとともに、凸部７５が円形部材４２の下面に設けられた凹部４５に嵌合する。このため、下部係止部材７０の先端部に対する下方への付勢力が消滅あるいは減少するするとともに、機器連結機構５０は、回動が規制され、仮固定される。機器連結機構５０を回動させる作業者は、指先で付勢力の消滅あるいは減少を感知することにより、凸部７４の凹部４４への嵌合及び凸部７５の凹部４５への嵌合を認識することができる。   8A and 8B are perspective views showing a third step in the connecting operation, in which FIG. 8A is a perspective view from above, and FIG. 8B is a perspective view from below. In the third step, the device coupling mechanism 50 is rotated 45 ° clockwise as viewed from above. During rotation, the convex portion 74 formed on the upper surface of the convex portion 72 in the lower locking member 70 and the convex portion 75 formed on the upper surface of the convex portion 73 come into contact with the circular member 42 of the upper receiving portion 40-2. Therefore, the lower locking member 70 is in a state where the tip end portion is urged downward. When the device coupling mechanism 50 has finished rotating 45 °, the convex portion 74 fits into the concave portion 44 provided on the lower surface of the circular member 42 and the convex portion 75 is provided on the lower surface of the circular member 42. 45. For this reason, the downward urging force with respect to the distal end portion of the lower locking member 70 disappears or decreases, and the device coupling mechanism 50 is restricted and temporarily fixed. An operator who rotates the device coupling mechanism 50 recognizes the fitting of the convex portion 74 to the concave portion 44 and the fitting of the convex portion 75 to the concave portion 45 by detecting the disappearance or decrease of the urging force with the fingertip. be able to.

図９乃至図１３は、連結動作における第４の工程を示す図であり、図９は上方からの斜視図、図１０は下方からの斜視図である。また、図１１（ａ）は正面図、図１１（ｂ）は図１１（ａ）のＡ線断面図、図１１（ｃ）は図１１（ａ）のＢ線断面図、図１２（ａ）は図１１（ａ）のＣ−Ｃ線断面図、図１２（ｂ）は図１１（ｃ）のＤ−Ｄ線断面図、図１３は図１１（ｂ）のＥ−Ｅ線断面図である。   9 to 13 are diagrams showing a fourth step in the connecting operation, in which FIG. 9 is a perspective view from above, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view from below. 11 (a) is a front view, FIG. 11 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line A in FIG. 11 (a), FIG. 11 (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line B in FIG. 11 (a), and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 11A, FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in FIG. 11C, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE in FIG. .

第４の工程では、機器連結機構５０が仮固定された状態で、サイドパネル１０２−１に設けられた下部受け部１０−１が上方に配置される。この際、サイドパネル１０２−１の向きをサイドパネル１０２−２の向きに合わせると、仮固定された機器連結機構５０の上部係止部材６０の延在方向と、下部受け部１０−１の円形部材１２に形成された孔１３の延在方向とは同一となる。   In the fourth step, the lower receiving portion 10-1 provided on the side panel 102-1 is disposed upward in a state where the device coupling mechanism 50 is temporarily fixed. At this time, when the orientation of the side panel 102-1 is matched with the orientation of the side panel 102-2, the extending direction of the upper locking member 60 of the temporarily connected device coupling mechanism 50 and the circular shape of the lower receiving portion 10-1 are obtained. The extending direction of the hole 13 formed in the member 12 is the same.

更に、サイドパネル１０２−１とともに下部受け部１０−１が下方に移動すると、当該下部受け部１０−１は、半円筒状部材１１の外周面が円筒部材５１の内周面に当接しつつ下方に移動し、上部係止部材６０が下部受け部１０−１の円形部材１２に形成された孔１３を貫通する。そして、機器連結機構５０の円形部材５２の上面が円形部材１２の下面に接触すると、下部受け部１０−１の下方への移動が規制される。このとき、上部係止部材６０の下面は、円形部材１２の上面よりも僅かに上方に位置する。   Further, when the lower receiving portion 10-1 moves downward together with the side panel 102-1, the lower receiving portion 10-1 moves downward while the outer peripheral surface of the semicylindrical member 11 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 51. The upper locking member 60 passes through the hole 13 formed in the circular member 12 of the lower receiving portion 10-1. And if the upper surface of the circular member 52 of the apparatus connection mechanism 50 contacts the lower surface of the circular member 12, the downward movement of the lower receiving part 10-1 will be controlled. At this time, the lower surface of the upper locking member 60 is positioned slightly above the upper surface of the circular member 12.

Is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 16A, FIG. 17B is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 16C, and FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line EE in FIG. .

第５の工程では、機器連結機構５０が仮固定された状態から更に、上方から見て右回りに４５°回動する。回動中は、上部係止部材６０における凸部６２の下面に形成された凸部６４及び凸部６３の下面に形成された凸部６５が上部受け部１０−１の円形部材１２に接触するため、上部係止部材６０は、先端部が上方に付勢された状態となる。また、下部係止部材７０における凸部７２の上面に形成された凸部７４及び凸部７３の上面に形成された凸部７５が上部受け部４０−２の円形部材４２に接触するため、下部係止部材７０は、先端部が下方に付勢された状態となる。   In the fifth step, the device coupling mechanism 50 is further rotated 45 ° clockwise as viewed from above from the state in which the device coupling mechanism 50 is temporarily fixed. During the rotation, the convex portion 64 formed on the lower surface of the convex portion 62 of the upper locking member 60 and the convex portion 65 formed on the lower surface of the convex portion 63 contact the circular member 12 of the upper receiving portion 10-1. Therefore, the upper locking member 60 is in a state where the tip portion is urged upward. Moreover, since the convex part 74 formed in the upper surface of the convex part 72 in the lower latching member 70 and the convex part 75 formed in the upper surface of the convex part 73 contact the circular member 42 of the upper receiving part 40-2, The locking member 70 is in a state where the tip end portion is urged downward.

そして、機器連結機構５０が４５°回動し終えると、凸部６４が円形部材１２の上面に設けられた凹部１４に嵌合するとともに、凸部６５が円形部材１２の上面に設けられた凹部１５に嵌合する。また、凸部７４が円形部材４２の下面に設けられた凹部４６に嵌合するとともに、凸部７５が円形部材４２の下面に設けられた凹部４７に嵌合する。このため、上部係止部材６０の先端部に対する下方への付勢力が消滅するとともに、下部係止部材７０の先端部に対する上方への付勢力が消滅あるいは減少し、機器連結機構５０は、回動が規制され、固定される。機器連結機構５０を回動させる作業者は、指先で付勢力の消滅あるいは減少を感知することにより、機器連結機構５０が固定されたことを認識することができる。また、上部係止部材６０と孔１３のそれぞれの延在方向が不一致となるとともに、下部係止部材７０と孔４３のそれぞれの延在方向が不一致となるため、上部係止部材６０及び下部係止部材７０がそれぞれ孔１３及び孔１４から抜けることが防止される。   Then, when the device coupling mechanism 50 finishes turning by 45 °, the convex portion 64 is fitted into the concave portion 14 provided on the upper surface of the circular member 12, and the convex portion 65 is provided on the upper surface of the circular member 12. 15 is fitted. Further, the convex portion 74 is fitted into the concave portion 46 provided on the lower surface of the circular member 42, and the convex portion 75 is fitted into the concave portion 47 provided on the lower surface of the circular member 42. Therefore, the downward urging force with respect to the distal end portion of the upper locking member 60 disappears, and the upward urging force with respect to the distal end portion of the lower locking member 70 disappears or decreases, and the device coupling mechanism 50 rotates. Is regulated and fixed. An operator who rotates the device coupling mechanism 50 can recognize that the device coupling mechanism 50 is fixed by sensing the disappearance or decrease of the urging force with the fingertip. In addition, the extending directions of the upper locking member 60 and the hole 13 are mismatched and the extending directions of the lower locking member 70 and the hole 43 are mismatched. The stop member 70 is prevented from coming out of the hole 13 and the hole 14, respectively.

このようにして、機器連結機構５０が、オーディオ機器１００−１における下部受け部１０−１、及び、オーディオ機器１００−２における上部受け部４０−２と結合することにより、オーディオ機器１００−１及び１００−２は、オーディオ機器１００−１が上部、オーディオ機器１００−２が下部となって連結される。   In this way, the device coupling mechanism 50 is coupled to the lower receiving portion 10-1 in the audio device 100-1 and the upper receiving portion 40-2 in the audio device 100-2, so that the audio device 100-1 and The audio device 100-1 is connected to the upper portion 100-2, and the audio device 100-2 is connected to the lower portion 100-2.

なお、上述した実施形態では、機器連結機構５０がオーディオ機器１００−１における１つの下部受け部１０−１、及び、オーディオ機器１００−２における１つの上部受け部４０−２を結合することにより、オーディオ機器１００−１及び１００−２が連結されたが、オーディオ機器１００−１の四隅のそれぞれに下部受け部１０−１を設けるとともに、オーディオ機器１００−２の四隅のそれぞれに上部受け部４０−２を設けて、これらを４つの機器連結機構５０を用いて結合させるようにすることで、オーディオ機器１００−１及び１００−２をより強固に連結させることができる。また、上段のオーディオ機器１００−１の上部受け部４０−１における孔４３等、連結に使用されていない孔４３については体裁を得るために塞がれるようにしてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the device coupling mechanism 50 combines the one lower receiving portion 10-1 in the audio device 100-1 and the one upper receiving portion 40-2 in the audio device 100-2. Although the audio devices 100-1 and 100-2 are connected, the lower receiving portions 10-1 are provided at the four corners of the audio device 100-1, and the upper receiving portions 40- are provided at the four corners of the audio device 100-2. The audio devices 100-1 and 100-2 can be more firmly connected by providing 2 and connecting them using the four device connection mechanisms 50. Further, the holes 43 that are not used for connection, such as the holes 43 in the upper receiving portion 40-1 of the upper audio device 100-1, may be closed to obtain the appearance.

また、上述した実施形態では、２つのオーディオ機器１００−１と１００−２とを連結する場合について説明したが、これらと同様に、下部受け部１０と上部受け部４０を有する機器であれば、機器連結機構５０を用いて更に積み重ねて連結することができる。また、下部受け部１０と上部受け部４０の配置を入れ替えた構成であっても本発明を適用することができる。更に、上述した実施形態では、上下方向に機器を連結する場合について説明したが、水平方向に機器を連結する場合においても同様に本発明を適用することができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the case where the two audio devices 100-1 and 100-2 are connected has been described. However, similarly to these, if the device has the lower receiving portion 10 and the upper receiving portion 40, The device connection mechanism 50 can be used for further stacking and connection. Further, the present invention can be applied even if the arrangement of the lower receiving portion 10 and the upper receiving portion 40 is changed. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the devices are connected in the vertical direction has been described. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to the case where the devices are connected in the horizontal direction.

また、上述した実施形態では、円形部材１２の上面における、孔１３の延在方向を基準として上方から見て右回りに４５°回転させた位置に対向する２つの凹部１４及び１５が形成されるとともに、円形部材４２の下面における、孔４３の延在方向を基準として、上方から見て右回りに４５°回転させた位置に対向する２つの凹部４４及び４５が形成され、９０°回転させた位置に対向する２つの凹部４６及び４７が形成されるようにしたが、凹部の形成される位置は、これらに限定されるものではない。   Further, in the above-described embodiment, the two concave portions 14 and 15 are formed on the upper surface of the circular member 12 facing the position rotated clockwise by 45 ° as viewed from above with reference to the extending direction of the hole 13. In addition, two concave portions 44 and 45 are formed on the lower surface of the circular member 42 facing the position rotated 45 ° clockwise as viewed from above with reference to the extending direction of the hole 43, and rotated 90 °. Although the two concave portions 46 and 47 facing the position are formed, the position where the concave portion is formed is not limited to these.
