Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an electrical panel such as an electrical door of a disaster prevention equipment storage device such as a fire hydrant device, to which electrical equipment such as a transmitter and a response indicator light is attached. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, a fire hydrant device, which is a type of disaster prevention equipment storage device and is installed in tunnels such as those on expressways and expressways, has a hose with a nozzle attached to the end and valves stored in a fire hydrant storage section of a housing with a fire hydrant door that can be opened and closed freely, and a fire extinguisher storage section that has a fire extinguisher door that can be opened and closed freely, and for example, two fire extinguishers stored in it.Furthermore, an electrical door, which is an electrical panel with a door structure, is provided between the fire hydrant door and the fire extinguisher door, and a red indicator light, a transmitter (fire notification device), and a response lamp that functions as a response indicator light are attached to the electrical door, and a telephone jack is attached to the back side of the electrical door.
[0003] The red indicator light is always on, allowing the location of the fire hydrant device to be seen from a distance. In the event of a fire, when the transmitter is pressed and the push button switch is turned on, a transmission signal is sent to the disaster prevention receiving panel in the electrical room, a fire alarm is output, and a response signal is sent from the disaster prevention receiving panel, which lights up the response lamp and also flashes the red indicator light.
[0004] Generally, the fire hydrant device 10 is installed based on the guard passage 104a at a height h1 (=1000 mm) from the roadway surface 102, as shown in FIG. 22, or based on the guard passage 104b at a height h11 (=250 mm), as shown in FIG. 23.
[0005] In the case of the guard passage 104a having a height h1 as shown in Figure 22, the stand 11 for the fire hydrant device 10 is usually installed at a height h2 (= 100 mm) above the road surface of the guard passage 104a, and the stand 11 and the fire hydrant device 10 are installed by cutting a box out of the tunnel body so that the fire hydrant device 10 can be installed on top of it.
[0006] On the other hand, in the case of the guard passage 104b at a height h11 as shown in Figure 23, the stand 11 for the fire hydrant device 10 is installed at a position that is a height h12 (= 750 mm) higher than the road surface of the guard passage 104b, and the stand 11 and the fire hydrant device 10 are installed by cutting a box out of the tunnel body so that the fire hydrant device 10 can be installed on top of it.
[0007] In addition, the installation height of the fire hydrant device 10 from the roadway surface 102 may vary depending on the characteristics and design of the tunnel body, such as its shape.
[0008] 22 and 23, the X, Y, and Z directions are directions that are orthogonal to each other. Specifically, when looking at the front surface of the fire hydrant device 10 on which the electrically equipped door 12 is installed, the X direction is the left-right direction, the Y direction is the up-down direction, and the Z direction is the front-to-back direction. In addition, the +X side in the X direction is the right side, the -X side is the left side, the +Y side in the Y direction is the upper side, the -Y side is the lower side, and the +Z side in the Z direction is the front side, and the -Z side is the rear side. In this respect, the X, Y, and Z directions are the same in FIGS. 1 to 21, which illustrate embodiments of the present invention.
[0009] Furthermore, even if the installation height of the fire hydrant device 10 from the road surface of the monitor's passage varies as shown in Figures 22 and 23, the transmitter 24 attached to the electric door 12 of the fire hydrant device 10 must be able to reliably report an emergency, and the Fire Service Act stipulates that the device must be installed at a height between 800 mm and 1500 mm from the surface where a person will stand when operating it, such as the road surface of the monitor's passage.
[0010] 22, the height of the monitor passage 104a from the road surface of the monitor passage 104a is defined as H1, and the transmitter 24 must be installed so that H1 is 800 mm to 1500 mm. For example, if the height h2 from the road surface of the monitor passage 104a to the bottom surface of the mount 11 is set to, for example, 40 mm, and the height h4 from the bottom surface of the fire hydrant device 10 to the transmitter 24 is set to, for example, 660 mm, then the total height is: H1=h2+h3+h4=100+40+660=800mm Therefore, the transmitter 24 can be installed at a height within the range specified by the Fire Service Act.
[0011] 23, the height of the monitor passage 104b is h11, and the transmitter 24 must be installed so that the height of the monitor passage 104b from the road surface is H2, which is 800 mm to 1500 mm. If the height from the road surface of the monitor passage 104b to the bottom surface of the mount 11 is h12, the height of the mount 11 is h3, as in the case of FIG. 22, and the height from the bottom surface of the fire hydrant device 10 to the transmitter 24 is h4, as in the case of FIG. 22, the total is: H2=h12+h3+h4=750+40+660=1450mm Therefore, the transmitter 24 can be installed at a height within the range specified by the Fire Service Act.
[0012] In this way, in the conventional fire hydrant device 10, the position of the transmitter 24 provided on the electrically equipped door 12 is fixed at a predetermined height, and the fire hydrant device 10 equipped with a common electrically equipped door 12 is installed in both the monitor passage 104a at height h1 and the monitor passage 104b at height h11.

[0013] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-055073 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-139704 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0014] However, as mentioned above, in recent years, the installation height of fire hydrant devices from the roadway surface can change depending on the design and characteristics of the tunnel body's shape, and in such cases, unless the position of the transmitter installed in the fire hydrant device is changed, the transmitter height may not fall within the range specified by the Fire Service Act.In each case, it is necessary to consider the shape of the fire hydrant device, including the electric door, and to design and manufacture it in detail.In addition, the wiring route and fixing method of the associated cables must also be changed to accommodate the new electric door, which can lead to inefficient and complicated problems.
[0015] Furthermore, although the height of the transmitter 24 in the monitor passage 104b at height h11 shown in Figure 23 satisfies the provisions of the Fire Service Act, the height H2 is 1450 mm, which means that the operating position of the transmitter 24 is high for an operator standing on the road surface of the monitor passage 104b, making it difficult for some people to operate.
[0016] Furthermore, when a tunnel's grade is upgraded or downgraded, a guard's walkway may be added, and the height of the surface where a person operates the tunnel may change. In such cases, it is desirable to keep the installation location of the transmitter within the range specified by the Fire Service Act, without having to replace the fire hydrant equipment, including the electric door, with a new one.
[0017] The present invention aims to provide an electrical panel having an electrical equipment mounting structure that allows the mounting positions of electrical equipment such as transmitters and response indicator lights to be simply and easily changed in accordance with the installation situation of a disaster prevention equipment storage device such as a fire hydrant device, the standing position of the operator, etc. [Means for solving the problem]
[0018] (Electrical panel) The present invention is an electrical panel of a disaster prevention equipment storage device in which electrical equipment is arranged, a panel body having a placement opening divided into a plurality of opening sections along a height direction in an installed state; a mounting member for the device, the mounting member having a predetermined electrical device provided therein and selectively arranged in a predetermined opening section from among a plurality of arrangement openings; a closing attachment member selectively positioned to close a placement opening where no attachment member for an instrument is placed; an equipment mounting structure in which mounting members for equipment are arranged in selected predetermined opening sections and closing mounting members are arranged in opening sections in which mounting members for equipment are not arranged, so that the arranged mounting members can be attached to the panel main body; The present invention is characterized by the following features.
[0019] (Mounting parts) Each of the aperture sections of the placement aperture is the same size; The mounting member for the equipment and the mounting member for the closure are plate members of the same size corresponding to the size of the opening section.
[0020] (Arrangement of mounting parts and equipment mounting structure) The mounting member has a stepped end formed at one end located in the height direction in the installed state, which becomes a step in a direction away from the rear surface of the panel body when placed in the opening section, and mounting holes formed at the stepped end and at an end opposite to the stepped end, The equipment mounting structure is as follows: Fastening shaft members standing on the rear surface of the panel body in correspondence with each opening section; a fastening receiving member that fastens and fixes the mounting member through which the fastening shaft member is inserted; Equipped with The mounting members to be placed in adjacent opening sections are arranged in an overlapping state so that the stepped end of one mounting member and the end opposite the stepped end of the other mounting member are aligned so that the positions of the respective mounting holes match, and the fastening shaft members are inserted into the overlapping mounting holes and fastened and fixed by the fastening receiving members, thereby making it possible to attach each of the arranged mounting members to the rear panel surface of the panel main body.
[0021] (Mounting hole shape) The mounting hole is a notched hole that is open up to the end of the mounting member that is closest in the height direction when placed in the opening section.
[0022] (Sealing material) A sealing member is disposed between the mating surfaces of the stepped end of one of the mounting members disposed in the adjacent opening compartments and the end opposite the stepped end of the other mounting member, and between the mating surfaces of the peripheral edge of the placement opening on the back surface of the panel body and the mounting members disposed in each opening compartment.
[0023] (Selectable electrical panel including red indicator lights) The electrical equipment to be mounted on the equipment mounting member is a transmitter for reporting a fire to a receiver; a response indicator light for displaying a response from the receiver to the fire report; Emergency telephone jack and Red indicator light showing the location of the disaster prevention equipment storage device Including, Mounting materials for equipment include: a transmitter mounting member provided with a transmitter; a response indicator light mounting member provided with a response indicator light; an SOS display mounting member having a telephone jack provided on the rear panel side of the panel body when in the installed state, and an SOS display board for indicating a fire report operation of the transmitter provided on the front panel side of the panel body when in the installed state; a red indicator light mounting member provided with a red indicator light; Includes.
[0024] (Electrical panel with fixed red indicator lights) The electrical equipment to be mounted on the equipment mounting member is a transmitter for reporting a fire to a receiver; a response indicator light for displaying a response from the receiver to the fire report; Emergency telephone jack and Red indicator light showing the location of the disaster prevention equipment storage device Including, Mounting materials for equipment include: a transmitter mounting member provided with a transmitter; a response indicator light mounting member provided with a response indicator light; an SOS display mounting member having a telephone jack provided on the rear panel side of the panel body when in the installed state, and an SOS display board for indicating a fire report operation of the transmitter provided on the front panel side of the panel body when in the installed state; Including, The red indicator light is fixedly disposed at a position above the placement opening of the panel body in the installed state.
[0025] (Disaster prevention equipment storage device, disaster prevention equipment) The present invention is characterized by a disaster prevention equipment storage device having the above-mentioned electrical panel, or disaster prevention equipment equipped with the disaster prevention equipment storage device. [Effects of the Invention]
[0026] (Effect of electrical panel) According to the present invention, even if the mounting height of electrical equipment mounted on an electrical panel changes from the road surface where a person operating the electrical equipment stands, which would have required the design and manufacture of a disaster prevention equipment storage device including a new electrical panel, the panel body of the electrical panel has a mounting opening divided into multiple opening compartments along the height direction when installed. Mounting members for the electrical equipment can be selectively positioned in predetermined opening compartments and attached to the panel body using an equipment mounting structure. This allows the mounting height of the electrical equipment in the installed state of the disaster prevention equipment storage device to be easily and conveniently adjusted to a height that is within legally regulated limits or takes operability into consideration, without the need for a new design and manufacture of the disaster prevention equipment storage device including the electrical panel and electrical equipment. Furthermore, unused opening compartments where no mounting members are located can be selectively closed by selectively positioning and attaching a closing mounting member, thereby preventing the intrusion of water and dust into the disaster prevention equipment storage device without damaging the appearance or creating an unnatural look.
[0027] Furthermore, if an electrical device breaks down, the mounting member for the device on which the broken electrical device is installed can be removed from the electrical panel and a mounting member for the device on which new electrical device is installed can be attached. Since work can be done on a per-mounting member basis arranged in each opening section, repair work to replace broken electrical device can be carried out simply and easily.
[0028] (Effect of mounting parts) Each of the opening compartments of the placement opening is made the same size, and the mounting members for the equipment and the closing mounting members are made of plate members of the same size corresponding to the size of the opening compartments.This reduces costs by standardizing the mounting members, and also allows all mounting members to be freely positioned for all of the opening compartments.
[0029] (Effect of mounting part arrangement and equipment mounting structure) In addition, some ends of the mounting plate, which is the mounting member, are formed as stepped ends, and the stepped ends are placed in the placement opening of the panel body with the stepped ends overlapping the ends of the mounting plates placed in the adjacent opening sections, so that a flat surface can be formed with no gaps in relation to the placement opening, ensuring high waterproofing while improving the appearance of the electrical panel.
[0030] Furthermore, the equipment mounting structure is provided with fastening shaft members that stand upright on the rear surface of the panel body in correspondence with each opening compartment, and the mounting plates that are mounting members to be placed in adjacent opening compartments are arranged in an overlapping state such that the stepped end of one mounting plate and the end facing the step of the other mounting plate are aligned so that the positions of their mounting holes match. Therefore, only one fastening shaft member is required for two mounting holes: the mounting hole at the stepped end of one mounting plate and the mounting hole at the end facing the stepped end of the other mounting plate, and the number of fastening shaft members required can be reduced, the equipment mounting structure can be simplified, and costs can be kept down.
[0031] (Effect of mounting hole shape) Furthermore, because one fastening shaft member is inserted into the mounting holes of different mounting plates, when replacing a mounting plate, it may be necessary to remove mounting plates that are not to be replaced from the fastening shaft member as well. Therefore, when the mounting holes are arranged in the opening compartment, they are made into notched holes that are open at the ends closest in the height direction in the installed state, and for mounting plates that are not to be replaced, the fastening fixation can be loosened by the fastening receiving member without removing them from the fastening shaft member, allowing them to move in the upright direction of the fastening shaft member. This makes it possible to tilt the mounting plate to be replaced and remove and insert it, eliminating the need to remove mounting plates other than the one to be replaced, making the mounting plate replacement work easier and more convenient.
[0032] (Effect of sealing material) Furthermore, by disposing a sealing member between the mating surfaces of the stepped end of one of the mounting plates, which are mounting members arranged in adjacent opening compartments, and the end opposite the stepped end of the other mounting plate, and between the mating surfaces of the peripheral edge of the arrangement opening on the back surface of the panel main body and the mounting plate arranged in each opening compartment, it is possible to better seal between adjacent mounting plates and between the panel main body and each mounting plate, thereby ensuring higher waterproofing.
[0033] (Effective thanks to the electrical panel, which can be selectively arranged, including red indicator lights) Furthermore, while a red indicator light is generally located at the top of the electrical panel when the disaster prevention equipment storage device is installed, the red indicator light may also be selectively positioned in the placement opening, or the red indicator light may be fixedly positioned in a specific opening section located above the placement opening of the panel body to ensure visibility and prevent it from interfering with the operation of the transmitter, while other electrical equipment may be freely positioned in other opening sections, thereby enabling more flexible response to specification changes, etc. Furthermore, even if the red indicator light breaks down, it can be repaired by removing the red indicator light mounting member on which the broken red indicator light is mounted from the electrical panel and installing a red indicator light mounting member on which a new red indicator light is mounted, making it possible to simply and easily replace the broken red indicator light.
[0034] (Effect of fixed red indicator lights on the electrical panel) Furthermore, since the red indicator light is basically placed at the top of the electrical panel when the disaster prevention equipment storage device is installed, rather than being an electrical device that is selectively placed in the opening compartment of the placement opening, by placing it in a fixed position above the placement opening on the panel body when installed, the number of electrical devices that are placed in the placement opening can be reduced, the equipment mounting structure that allows electrical devices to be selectively placed can be simplified, and costs can be reduced.
[0035] (Disaster prevention equipment storage device, effectiveness of disaster prevention equipment) The same effect can be achieved with a disaster prevention equipment storage device having the electrical panel, and with disaster prevention equipment equipped with the disaster prevention equipment storage device, so a description thereof will be omitted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0037] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an electrical panel according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.
[0038] [Basic concept of the embodiment] First, the basic concept of the embodiment will be described. The embodiment generally relates to an electrical panel of a disaster prevention equipment storage device in which predetermined electrical equipment is arranged, and more specifically, to an electrical door of a fire hydrant device that has a door structure and is installed in a tunnel in which predetermined electrical equipment such as a red indicator light, a transmitter, a response indicator light, and a telephone jack is arranged.
[0039] Here, the term "electrical panel" refers to a panel that is provided in a disaster prevention equipment storage device and on which electrical equipment for performing operations and displaying disaster prevention-related information is arranged, and is a concept that includes electrical doors that are provided in the disaster prevention equipment storage device with an openable / closable door structure. Furthermore, "electrical equipment is arranged" includes both a state in which electrical equipment is arranged on the electrical panel and a state in which electrical equipment is arranged and attached to the electrical panel. In other words, it does not matter whether electrical equipment is attached to the electrical panel or not.
[0040] Furthermore, a "transmitter" is a device for reporting a fire, and is a concept that includes an operating switch for operating a fire report. A "response indicator light" is an indicator light that responds to a fire report from a transmitter with a signal from the receiver, and is a concept that includes a response lamp. A "red indicator light" is an indicator light that indicates the location of the disaster prevention equipment storage device.
[0041] The electrical panel of this embodiment includes a panel body, mounting members for equipment, a closing mounting member, and an equipment mounting structure.
[0042] First, the "panel body" is a panel having an arrangement opening divided into multiple opening sections along the height direction when installed. Here, the "height direction when installed" refers to the height direction when the electrical panel is attached to the disaster prevention equipment storage device and the disaster prevention equipment storage device is installed. Also, the "opening section" includes both one area of the arrangement opening divided physically, such as by a partition board, and one area of the arrangement opening divided virtually.
[0043] Furthermore, the term "mounting member for equipment" refers to a member on which a predetermined electrical device is mounted and which is selectively placed in a predetermined opening section from among a plurality of mounting openings, and is, for example, a plate member on which a predetermined electrical device is mounted, including a transmitter mounting plate on which a transmitter is mounted, a response indicator mounting plate on which a response indicator light is mounted, a red indicator light mounting plate on which a red indicator light is mounted, an SOS display mounting plate on which a telephone jack and an SOS display board are mounted, etc. Furthermore, the "red indicator light" does not have to be an electrical device that is selectively placed in the mounting opening, but may be fixedly placed in a position above the mounting opening of the panel body in the installed state to ensure visibility and to prevent it from interfering with the operation of the transmitter.
[0044] Furthermore, "selectively placed in a specific opening section" does not necessarily mean that it is selectively placed in all of the placement openings, but includes that it is selectively placed in some of the placement openings, and that it is placed in one specific opening section. Furthermore, an "SOS display board" is a display board for indicating the operation of a transmitter to report a fire, and for example, it displays the letters "SOS" and a graphic indicating that the transmitter should be pressed.
[0045] Furthermore, "closing mounting members" include those that are selectively placed to close an opening section where no equipment mounting members are placed, such as a plate member on which no electrical equipment is attached to an equipment mounting plate. When there is no need to distinguish between "equipment mounting members" and "closing mounting members," they are collectively referred to as "mounting members."
[0046] In addition, the "equipment mounting structure" is a structure in which mounting members for equipment are placed in selected, predetermined opening compartments and closing mounting members are placed in opening compartments where mounting members for equipment are not placed, so that each of the placed mounting members can be attached to the panel body.
[0047] Alternatively, each of the opening sections of the arrangement opening may be of the same size, and the mounting members for the equipment and the closing mounting members may be plate members of the same size corresponding to the size of the opening sections.
[0048] In a more specific configuration, the "mounting member" is a plate member having a stepped end formed at one of its ends positioned in the height direction in the installed state, which becomes a step in the direction away from the back surface of the panel body when placed in an opening compartment, and having mounting holes formed at the stepped end and the end opposite the stepped end; the "equipment mounting structure" may include fastening shaft members standing on the back surface of the panel body corresponding to each opening compartment, and fastening receiving members that fasten and fix the mounting members through which the fastening shaft members are inserted, and the mounting members to be placed in adjacent opening compartments may be arranged in a state where the stepped end of one mounting member and the end opposite the other stepped end are overlapped so that the positions of the respective mounting holes match, and the fastening shaft members are inserted into the overlapping mounting holes and fastened and fixed using the fastening receiving member, thereby making it possible to attach each of the arranged mounting members to the back surface of the panel body.
[0049] The "rear surface of the panel" here refers to the surface opposite the front surface of the panel that is exposed to the outside of the disaster prevention equipment storage device when an electrical panel is installed in the disaster prevention equipment storage device. Also, the "fastening shaft member" is, for example, a bolt, and the "fastening receiving member" is, for example, a nut.
[0050] Furthermore, the "mounting hole" may have any shape or size as long as it allows the fastening shaft member to be inserted, but it includes, for example, a round hole or a notched hole that is open up to the end of the nearest mounting member in the height direction when placed in an opening compartment.
[0051] Furthermore, a sealing member may be disposed between the mating surfaces of the stepped end of one of the mounting members disposed in adjacent opening compartments and the end opposite the stepped end of the other mounting member, and between the mating surfaces of the peripheral edge of the placement opening on the rear surface of the panel body and the mounting members disposed in each opening compartment. Here, the "sealing member" may be made of any material as long as it can close the gap between the mating surfaces to improve airtightness and further ensure waterproofing, and includes, for example, a seal made of a rubber material.
[0052] Specific embodiments will be described below. In the specific embodiments shown below, the "disaster prevention equipment storage device" is a "fire hydrant device installed in a tunnel," the "electrical panel" is an "electrical door," the "electrical equipment" installed on the electric door of the fire hydrant device is a "transmitter," a "response lamp" that functions as a response indicator lamp, a "red indicator lamp," and a "telephone jack," and the "mounting member" is a "mounting plate." In addition, the "panel body" of the electrical panel corresponds to the "door body" of the electric door, and the "panel front surface" and "panel back surface" of the panel body correspond to the "door front surface" and "door back surface" of the door body.

[0054] [a. Fire hydrant equipment] The fire hydrant device will be described in more detail below. As shown in Fig. 1, the fire hydrant device 10 is installed on a stand 11 and has a structure divided into a housing 10a that houses the fire hydrant equipment and a housing 10b that houses the fire extinguisher, and decorative panels 14a and 14b are attached to the front of the housings 10a and 10b.
[0055] The door opening of the decorative panel 14a of the housing 10a is divided into upper and lower halves, and a forward-leaning fire hydrant door 14 that opens downward on hinges 15a is installed in the lower door opening, and a maintenance door 16 that opens upward on hinges 15b is installed in the upper door opening, and inside it are stored hoses with nozzles and valves including a fire hydrant valve.
[0056] An electrical door 12 that opens sideways to the right on hinges 15c is provided on the right side of the door opening in decorative panel 14b of housing 10b. Electrical equipment such as a red indicator light 20, a transmitter 24, and an answer lamp 26 is attached to electrical door 12, an SOS display board 28 is attached between the transmitter 24 and the answer lamp 26, and a telephone jack 25 is attached to the rear side of electrical door 12 on which the SOS display board 28 is attached.
[0057] The red indicator light 20 is always lit, allowing the location of the fire hydrant device 10 to be identified from a distance. In the event of a fire, when the transmitter 24 is pressed to turn on the push button switch, a transmission signal is sent to the disaster prevention receiving panel in the electrical room, a fire alarm is output, and a response signal is sent from the disaster prevention receiving panel, causing the red indicator light 20 to flash and the response lamp 26 to light up.
[0058] A fire extinguisher door 18 that opens sideways to the left on hinges 15d is provided on the left side of the electrical equipment door 12, and can store, for example, two fire extinguishers inside. In addition, a sight window 22 is provided below the fire extinguisher door 18, allowing the presence or absence of a fire extinguisher to be confirmed from the outside.
[0059] [b. Electric door] A more detailed description will be given of the electrical door 12. The electrical door 12 is composed of a door body, a mounting plate for equipment, a closing mounting plate, and an equipment mounting structure, and allows the placement positions of the electrical equipment, such as the red indicator light 20, transmitter 24, and response lamp 26, in the height direction (vertical direction) to be freely selected and changed.
[0060] (b1. Door body) The door body of the electrically equipped door will be described in more detail. Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the door body of the electrically equipped door, with Figure 2(A) showing the front (front side of the door), Figure 2(B) showing the rear (rear side of the door), Figure 2(C) showing a cross section seen from the left side, and Figure 2(D) showing the top. Note that Figure 2(C) is a cross section of the part aa indicated by the dashed line in Figure 2(B).
[0061] 2(A), the door body 30 of the electrical door 12 is made of metal, for example, formed by sheet metal processing, and has a rectangular arrangement opening 32 that is long in the vertical direction and corresponds to the multiple electrical devices to be arranged in the door body 30. The arrangement opening 32 is virtually divided into, for example, seven opening sections A1 to A7 in the vertical direction corresponding to the electrical devices to be arranged. In this embodiment, the opening sections A1 to A7 are the same size.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 2(B), stud bolts 44 functioning as fastening shaft members are fixed upright by welding or the like at a total of 16 locations corresponding to the four corners of the opening sections A1 to A7 around the periphery of the placement opening 32 on the rear side of the door body 30 so that mounting plates for equipment and closing mounting plates having rectangular sizes corresponding to the area of the opening section can be placed and attached.
[0063] Also, a door mating surface 31 is formed on the left edge of the door body 30 to mate with the adjacent fire extinguisher door 18 (see FIG. 1). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2(D), hinge holes 35 are formed on the right side of the upper and lower end surfaces of the door body 30 to insert hinges 15c fixed to the housing 10b.
[0064] (b2. Arrangement of electrical equipment relative to the door body) The arrangement of the electrical equipment relative to the door body will be explained in more detail. Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the electrical door 12 with the electrical equipment and the like attached as shown in Figure 1, with Figure 3(A) showing the front (front door side), Figure 3(B) showing the rear (rear door side), and Figure 3(C) showing a cross section as seen from the left side. Note that Figure 3(C) is a cross section of the area bb indicated by the dashed line in Figure 3(B).
[0065] As shown in Fig. 3, the arrangement opening 32 formed in the door body 30 of the electrically equipped door 12 is provided with the following components attached from the rear side of the door body 30: a red indicator light mounting plate 34 with a red indicator light 20 at A1; a transmitter mounting plate 36 with a transmitter 24 at A2; an SOS display mounting plate 40 with an SOS display board 28 at A3; and an answer lamp mounting plate 38 with an answer lamp 26 at A4, corresponding to the opening sections A1 to A7 shown in Fig. 2. An emergency telephone jack 25 is provided on the rear side of the SOS display mounting plate 40. Note that opening sections A6 and A7 are the same as opening section A5, and are therefore not shown in Fig. 3.
[0066] Here, the red indicator light mounting plate 34, the transmitter mounting plate 36, the response lamp mounting plate 38 and the SOS display mounting plate 40 are treated as mounting plates for equipment, and the closing mounting plate 42 is treated as a closing mounting plate for closing an open section where no equipment mounting plate is located.
[0067] The red indicator light 20 is an indicator light that indicates the installation location of the fire hydrant device 10, and since it is an indicator light that indicates the installation location of the fire hydrant device 10, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 is fixedly arranged in the opening section A1 that is located at the top of the installation opening 32 when the fire hydrant device 10 is installed, and in principle the installation position will not be changed, but this does not limit the red indicator light mounting plate 34 to being arranged in a location other than the opening section A1.
[0068] The transmitter 24 needs to be placed within a legally defined range and at a height that takes into consideration operability in accordance with the installation situation of the fire hydrant device 10, the standing position of the operator, etc., and therefore the transmitter mounting plate 36 is selectively placed in any of the opening sections A2 to A7. Furthermore, the response lamp mounting plate 38 and the SOS display mounting plate 40 are selectively placed in any of the corresponding opening sections A2 to A7 depending on whether the placement position of the transmitter mounting plate 36 is changed. In this embodiment, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 is fixedly placed in the opening section A1, but this does not prevent the transmitter mounting plate 36, the response lamp mounting plate 38, and the SOS display mounting plate 40 from being placed in the opening section A1.
[0069] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing changes to the placement of electrical equipment in the electrical door. Figure 4(A) shows the same placement as in Figures 1 and 3, while Figure 4(B) shows a case where the placement positions of the transmitter 24, telephone jack 25, and answer lamp 26 have been changed to the lower side of the electrical door 12, with the transmitter mounting plate 36 placed in the third opening section A5 from the bottom, the SOS display mounting plate 40 placed in the opening section A6 below that, the answer lamp mounting plate 38 placed in the bottom opening section A7, and closing mounting plates 42 placed in the opening sections A2 to A4 where no electrical equipment is placed.
[0070] In this way, in the electrically equipped door 12 of this embodiment, the mounting positions of the transmitter 24, telephone jack 25, and answer lamp 26 can be selectively installed, for example, in either the upper opening sections A2 to A4 or the lower opening sections A5 to A7 of the electrically equipped door 12.
[0071] [c. Equipment mounting plates and closure mounting plates] The equipment mounting plate and the closing mounting plate arranged on the electrical door will now be described in more detail.
[0072] (c1. Red indicator light mounting plate) The red indicator light mounting plate will be explained in more detail. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the red indicator light mounting plate removed, with Figure 5(A) showing a cross section from the left side, Figure 5(B) showing the front, Figure 5(C) showing the left side with the red indicator light installed, and Figure 5(D) showing the front with the red indicator light installed. Note that Figure 5(A) is a cross section of the area cc indicated by the dashed line in Figure 5(B).
[0073] 5(A) and 5(B), the red indicator light mounting plate 34 is, for example, a rectangular metal plate of a size that can be placed on the door main body 30 corresponding to the opening section A1 shown in Fig. 2, with a stepped end 48 formed at the top end that is stepped downward toward the rear, a red indicator light mounting hole 20a formed in the center of the rectangular area excluding the stepped end 48, and mounting holes 50 formed at the four corners that correspond to the positions of the stud bolts 44 fixed upright at the four corners of the opening section A1. Also, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped end 48.
[0074] As shown in Figures 5(C) and 5(D), the red indicator light 20 is mounted in the red indicator light mounting hole 20a of the red indicator light mounting plate 34, and in this embodiment, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 is treated as a single component together with the red indicator light 20, and for example, if the red indicator light 20 breaks down, rather than replacing the red indicator light 20 alone, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 on which the red indicator light 20 is mounted is replaced as the item to be replaced.
[0075] (c2. Transmitter mounting plate) The transmitter mounting plate will be explained in more detail. Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the transmitter mounting plate removed, with Figure 6(A) showing a cross section seen from the left side, Figure 6(B) showing the front, Figure 6(C) showing the left side with the transmitter mounted, and Figure 6(D) showing the front with the transmitter mounted. Note that Figure 6(A) is a cross section of the area dd indicated by the dashed line in Figure 6(B).
[0076] 6(A) and 6(B), the transmitter mounting plate 36 is, for example, a rectangular metal plate of a size that can be placed on the door main body 30 corresponding to the opening section A2 shown in Fig. 2, with a stepped end 48 formed at the top end that is stepped downward toward the rear, a transmitter mounting hole 24a formed in the center of the rectangular area excluding the stepped end 48, and mounting holes 50 formed at the four corners that correspond to the positions of the stud bolts 44 fixed upright at the four corners of the opening section A2. In addition, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped end 48.
[0077] As shown in Figures 6(C) and 6(D), the transmitter 24 is mounted in the transmitter mounting hole 24a of the transmitter light mounting plate 36. In this embodiment, the transmitter mounting plate 36 is treated as a single component together with the transmitter 24. For example, if the transmitter 24 breaks down, the transmitter mounting plate 36 on which the transmitter 24 is mounted is replaced, rather than replacing the transmitter 24 as a single unit.
[0078] (c3. Response lamp mounting plate) The response lamp mounting plate will be explained in more detail. Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the response lamp mounting plate removed, with Figure 7(A) showing a cross section from the left side, Figure 7(B) showing the front, Figure 7(C) showing the left side with the response lamp installed, and Figure 7(D) showing the front with the response lamp installed. Note that Figure 7(A) is a cross section of the part ee shown by the dashed line in Figure 7(B).
[0079] 7(A) and 7(B), the response lamp mounting plate 38 is, for example, a rectangular metal plate of a size that can be placed on the door body 30 corresponding to the opening section A4 shown in Fig. 2, with a stepped end 48 formed at the top end that is stepped downward toward the rear, a response lamp mounting hole 26a formed in the center of the rectangular area excluding the stepped end 48, and mounting holes 50 formed at the four corners that correspond to the positions of the stud bolts 44 fixed upright at the four corners of the opening section A4. Also, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is arranged on the front side of the stepped end 48.
[0080] As shown in Figures 7(C) and 7(D), the response lamp 26 is mounted in the response lamp mounting hole 26a of the response lamp mounting plate 38, and in this embodiment, the response lamp mounting plate 38 is treated as a single component together with the response lamp 26. For example, if the response lamp 26 fails, the response lamp mounting plate 38 on which the response lamp 26 is mounted is replaced, rather than replacing the response lamp 26 as a single unit.
[0081] (c4. SOS display mounting plate) The SOS display mounting plate will now be described in more detail. Figure 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the SOS display mounting plate removed, with Figure 8(A) showing the left side, Figure 8(B) showing the front, and Figure 8(C) showing the top.
[0082] As shown in Figure 8, the SOS display mounting plate 40 is, for example, a rectangular metal plate of a size that can be placed on the door body 30 corresponding to the opening section A3 shown in Figure 2, and has a stepped end 48 at the top end that is stepped downward toward the rear, and mounting holes 50 are formed at the four corners corresponding to the positions of the stud bolts 44 fixed upright at the four corners of the opening section A3, and a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped end 48.
[0083] The SOS display board 28 is fixed to the front side of the SOS display mounting plate 40 with screws 54, and the SOS display board 28 displays the word "SOS" and a figure showing how to operate the transmitter.
[0084] An L-shaped telephone jack mounting plate 45 is fixed by welding or the like to the rear side of the SOS display mounting plate 40, and an emergency telephone jack 25 is mounted on the telephone jack mounting plate 45. A cap connected by a chain is provided on the telephone jack 25, and the user opens the electrical door 12, removes the cap, and inserts the plug of the emergency telephone they are carrying into the telephone jack 25 to use it.
[0085] In this embodiment, the SOS display mounting plate 40 is treated as a single component together with the telephone jack 25, and if, for example, the telephone jack 25 breaks down, the telephone jack 25 is not replaced as a single unit, but the SOS display mounting plate 40, which is provided on the rear side of the telephone jack 25, is replaced as the replacement item.
[0086] (c5. Closure mounting plate) The closure mounting plate will now be described in more detail. Figure 9 is an explanatory view showing the closure mounting plate removed, with Figure 9(A) showing the left side and Figure 9(B) showing the front.
[0087] As shown in Figure 9, the closure mounting plate 42 is, for example, a rectangular metal plate of a size that can be placed on the door body 30 corresponding to each of the opening sections A5 to A7 shown in Figure 2, and has a stepped end 48 at the upper end that is stepped downward toward the rear, and mounting holes 50 at the four corners that correspond to the positions of the stud bolts 44 fixed upright at each of the four corners of the opening sections A5 to A7, and furthermore, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped end 48.
[0088] [d. Equipment mounting structure] The equipment mounting structure that allows the position of the electrical equipment relative to the electrical door to be changed will be described in more detail.
[0089] Figure 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the equipment mounting structure by taking out the upper side of the electrical door from Figure 1, with Figure 10(A) showing the rear (the back side of the door) and Figure 10(B) showing a cross section seen from the left side. Note that Figure 10(B) is a cross section of the location ff indicated by the dashed line in Figure 10(A), and Figure 10 does not show the electrical equipment placed on the equipment mounting plate.
[0090] As shown in Fig. 10, mounting holes 50 of the red indicator light mounting plate 34, transmitter mounting plate 36, SOS display mounting plate 40, response lamp mounting plate 38, and closing mounting plate 42 (not shown) are fitted from above into stud bolts 44 fixed upright at the four corners of each of the opening sections A1 to A7 of the arrangement opening 32 of the door main body 30, and each mounting plate is fastened to the rear surface of the door main body 30 with nuts 46, which serve as fastening receiving members. Furthermore, prior to placing each mounting plate in the corresponding opening section for fastening, an opening seal 56, shown in Fig. 11, made of, for example, a rubber material, having an opening substantially identical to the arrangement opening 32 and through holes 58 at positions corresponding to the stud bolts 44, is placed on the rear surface of the door main body 30 by aligning the opening of the opening seal 56 with the arrangement opening 32 and inserting the stud bolts 44 into the through holes 58. Note that Fig. 11(A) shows the front of the opening seal 56, and Fig. 11(B) shows the left side.
[0091] 12, in more detail, after the opening seal 56 is placed on the rear surface of the door body 30, the four stud bolts 44 corresponding to the uppermost opening section A1 of the arrangement opening 32 are passed through the mounting holes 50 at the four corners of the red indicator light mounting plate 34, and then the four stud bolts 44 corresponding to the opening section A2 below that are passed through the mounting holes 50 at the four corners of the transmitter mounting plate 36. At this time, the stepped end 48 at the upper end of the transmitter mounting plate 36 is placed over the lower end of the red indicator light mounting plate 34 with the seal 52 interposed between them.
[0092] In this state, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 is fastened and fixed to the rear surface of the door body 30 by screwing nuts 46 onto each of the two stud bolts 44 that have passed through the upper end of the red indicator light mounting plate 34 and the two stud bolts 44 that have passed through the lower end of the red indicator light mounting plate 34 and the upper end of the overlapping transmitter mounting plate 36.
[0093] Similarly, the transmitter mounting plate 36, SOS display mounting plate 40, response lamp mounting plate 38, and closure mounting plate 42 are sequentially passed through the corresponding stud bolts 44 and fastened to the rear surface of the door body 30 by screwing in nuts 46.
[0094] When each mounting plate is placed and fastened to the back surface of the door body 30 using such stud bolts 44 and nuts 46, the joints between the overlapping mounting plates are sealed by the seals 52 placed on the stepped ends 48, ensuring a higher level of waterproofing. In addition, the gap between each mounting plate and the peripheral edge of the placement opening frame 32 of the door body 30 is also sealed by the opening seals 56, ensuring a higher level of waterproofing.
[0095] [e. Changing transmitter locations due to differences in guard passageways] Figure 13 shows the mounting position of the transmitter 24 when the fire hydrant device 10 of this embodiment is installed in a tunnel body that has a monitor passage 104a constructed at a height h1 (=1000 mm) from the roadway surface 102. In this case, for example, as shown in Figure 4 (A), the transmitter mounting plate 36 is placed in the second opening section A2 from the top of the placement opening 32, so that the transmitter 24 is mounted on the upper side of the electrical door 12.
[0096] Here, as in the conventional example of FIG. 22, if the height h2 (=100 mm) from the road surface of the monitor passage 104a shown in FIG. 13 to the bottom surface of the stand 11, the height h3 (=40 mm) of the stand 11, and the height h6 (≒660 mm) from the bottom surface of the fire hydrant device 10 to the transmitter 24, the height H3 from the road surface of the monitor passage 104a where the operator stands to the transmitter 24 is H3=h2+h3+h6≒100+40+660=800mm The transmitter 24 is mounted at the same height as in the conventional case.
[0097] In contrast, in the case of the guard passage 104b shown in Figure 14, which is at a height h11 (=250 mm) from the roadway surface 102, for example, as shown in Figure 4(B), by placing the transmitter mounting plate 36 in the third opening section A5 from the bottom in the placement opening 32, the mounting position of the transmitter 24 is changed to the lower side of the electrically equipped door 12. As a result, the mounting height of the transmitter 24 on the electrically equipped door 12 can be lowered by ΔH.
[0098] Here, as in the conventional example of FIG. 23, the height h12 (=750 mm) from the road surface of the monitor passage 104b shown in FIG. 14 to the bottom surface of the stand 11, the height h3 (=40 mm) of the stand 11, and the height from the bottom surface of the fire hydrant device 10 to the transmitter 24 is lowered by ΔH to, for example, h7 (≒330 mm), which is half the conventional height h4, then the height H4 from the road surface of the monitor passage 104b, where the operator stands, to the transmitter 24 will be H4=h12+h3+h7≒750+40+330=1120mm This allows the transmitter 24 to be positioned approximately 330 mm lower than before, satisfying the Fire Service Act regulations and improving the operability of the transmitter 24.
[0099] As a result, even in cases where the height from the road surface of the guard passage in which the fire hydrant device 10 is installed is different due to a tunnel body, or where the height from the road surface of the guard passage is changed due to a change in the rank of the tunnel, etc., there is no need to consider the shape, design in detail, or manufacture a new electrically equipped door 12 to attach the transmitter 24, response lamp 26, telephone jack 25, etc., and there is no need to change the wiring route or fixing method of the associated cables that accompany changing to a new electrically equipped door. This can be easily and quickly accommodated by selecting whether to place the transmitter mounting plate 36 with the transmitter 24 attached, the SOS display mounting plate 40 with the telephone jack 25 attached on the rear side, and the response lamp mounting plate 38 with the response lamp 26 attached, for example, in the upper opening sections A2 to A4 or in the lower opening sections A5 to A7 so that the mounting height of the transmitter 24 is in an appropriate position, for example. Furthermore, even if it becomes necessary to change the installation height of the transmitter 24 due to changes in the installation location of the fire hydrant device in the tunnel or the monitor's walkway where the operator will stand, this can be easily and quickly accommodated.
[0100] [f. Arrangement of electrical equipment] The electrically equipped door 12 of this embodiment allows the position of the electrical equipment to be changed depending on the installation situation of the fire hydrant device 10, the operator's standing position, etc. The position of the transmitter 24 in the installation opening 32 of the door body 30 can be changed into six patterns, for example, as shown in Figures 15(A) to 15(F). Figures 15(A) to 15(F) show examples of the position of each mounting plate when the position of the transmitter mounting plate 36 on which the transmitter 24 is mounted is changed from opening section A2 to the lowest opening section A7. Of these, Figure 15(A) shows the position shown in Figure 4(A), and Figure 15(D) shows the position shown in Figure 4(B). Note that the transmitter 24 is hatched to make it easier to understand the change in position of the transmitter 24 in each pattern.
[0101] In this embodiment, it is possible to select one of the six patterns shown in Figures 15(A) to (F) so that the installation height of the transmitter 24 is appropriate depending on the installation situation of the fire hydrant device 10, the standing position of the operator, etc.
[0102] In addition, in the four patterns of Figures 15(A) to 15(D), the arrangement is from the top to the bottom in the order of transmitter mounting plate 36, SOS display mounting plate 40, and response lamp mounting plate 38; in Figure 15(E), the arrangement is from the top to the bottom in the order of response lamp mounting plate 38, transmitter mounting plate 36, and SOS display mounting plate 40; and in Figure 15(F), the arrangement is from the top to the bottom in the order of response lamp mounting plate 38, SOS display mounting plate 40, and transmitter mounting plate 36. Although the arrangement order is different in Figures 15(E) and 15(F) from that in Figures 15(A) to 15(D), the display and operating functions of the electrical equipment provided on each mounting plate are not impaired.
[0103] [g. Alternative forms of closure mounting plate] In the above embodiment, the closure mounting plates 42 are arranged one by one corresponding to one opening compartment to be closed, but when the closure mounting plates 42 are arranged in consecutive opening compartments as shown in Figures 15(A) to (F), a two-compartment closure mounting plate 60 corresponding to the size of two opening compartments or a three-compartment mounting plate 62 corresponding to the size of three opening compartments may be arranged, as shown in Figures 16(A) to (F).
[0104] Figure 17 is an explanatory diagram showing the two-compartment closure mounting plate 60, with Figure 17(A) showing the front and Figure 17(B) showing the left side. As shown in Figure 17, the two-compartment closure mounting plate 60 is, for example, a metal plate member of a size that can be placed on the door body 30 to correspond to two consecutive opening compartments, and has a stepped edge 48 formed at the upper end that is stepped back toward the rear, and mounting holes 50 formed at six locations around the periphery that correspond to the four corners and the boundary between the consecutive opening compartments. In addition, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped edge 48.
[0105] Figure 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the three-compartment closure mounting plate 62, with Figure 18(A) showing the front and Figure 18(B) showing the left side. As shown in Figure 18, the three-compartment closure mounting plate 62 is, for example, a metal plate member of a size that can be placed on the door body 30 to correspond to three consecutive opening compartments, and has a stepped edge 48 that is stepped downward toward the rear at the upper end, and mounting holes 50 formed at eight locations around the periphery that correspond to the four corners and the boundaries between the consecutive opening compartments. In addition, a seal 52 made of, for example, a rubber material is placed on the front side of the stepped edge 48.
[0106] By arranging the two-compartment closing mounting plate 60 or the three-compartment closing mounting plate 62 as shown in Figures 16(A) to (F) in this manner, consecutive opening compartments can be closed seamlessly, improving the design of the electrical door 12 and reducing the number of mounting plates to be arranged on the door body 30.
[0107] [h. Replacement of electrical equipment due to breakdowns, etc.] The replacement of the transmitter 24, telephone jack 25, or answer lamp 26 attached to the electrically equipped door 12 when the device 10 is installed in the tunnel and is in operation will be described in more detail below.
[0108] (h1. Replacement of mounting plates for equipment with round mounting holes) Regarding the electrically equipped door 12 shown in Figures 3 and 4(A), the replacement work when, for example, the transmitter 24 arranged in the opening section A2 breaks down will be described in more detail in the case where the transmitter mounting plate 36 on which the transmitter 24 is arranged is replaced rather than replacing the transmitter 24 as a single unit.
[0109] If a malfunction of the transmitter 24 is discovered during regular inspection or the like while the fire hydrant device 10 is in operation, the transmitter mounting plate 36 on which the malfunctioning transmitter 24 is mounted will be replaced with a new one.
[0110] 10, the procedure for removing the transmitter mounting plate 36 from the electrical door 12 will be described. First, all nuts 46 except for the nut 46 for fastening the upper end of the red indicator light mounting plate 34 located at the top are removed from the stud bolts 44.
[0111] Next, the SOS display mounting plate 40, the response lamp mounting plate 38, and the three closure mounting plates 42, which are arranged below the transmitter mounting plate 36, are removed from the stud bolts 44 inserted through each of them. This releases the lower end of the transmitter mounting plate 36 to be replaced, allowing the transmitter mounting plate 36 to be removed from the stud bolts 44.
[0112] To install a new transmitter mounting plate 36, the procedure for removal is reversed. First, the new transmitter mounting plate 36 is placed in the opening section A2 by inserting the four stud bolts 44 fixed upright in the corresponding opening section A2 into the mounting holes 50 at the four corners of the new transmitter mounting plate 36. Next, as shown in the exploded assembly diagram of FIG. 12 , the SOS display mounting plate 40, the response lamp mounting plate 38, and the three closure mounting plates 42 are placed in the corresponding opening section by inserting the corresponding stud bolts 44 into the mounting holes 50 in order. Finally, starting from the transmitter mounting plate 36, nuts 46 are screwed onto the stud bolts 44 in order, working downward, to fasten and secure each mounting plate to the rear surface of the door body 30. The same procedure is used to replace the red indicator light mounting plate 34, the SOS display mounting plate 40, or the response lamp mounting plate 38.
[0113] (h2. Replacement of mounting plates for equipment with notched mounting holes) If the mounting holes 50 formed at the four corners of the equipment and closure mounting plates are round holes, as mentioned above, it will be necessary to remove the mounting plate to be replaced and any other mounting plates placed below it, which will require more work than removing the mounting plates other than the mounting plate to be replaced.
[0114] To solve this problem, the mounting holes formed at the four corners of each mounting plate are not round holes, but are notched holes that cut out from the mounting hole to the nearest edge on the upper or lower side. Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram showing a mounting plate with notched mounting holes, using red indicator light mounting plate 34 as an example, with Figure 19(A) showing the front and Figure 19(B) showing the left side.
[0115] As shown in Figure 19, the red indicator light mounting plate 34 differs from the red indicator light mounting plate 34 shown in Figure 5 in that it has cutout holes 64 formed in the four corners, but is otherwise similar to the red indicator light mounting plate 34 shown in Figure 5. Furthermore, like the red indicator light mounting plate 34, the transmitter mounting plate 36, SOS display mounting plate 40, response lamp mounting plate 38, and closure mounting plate 42 also have cutout holes 64 as mounting holes.
[0116] Figure 20 is an explanatory diagram showing the process of removing the transmitter mounting plate 36 when the mounting hole is a notched hole 64, as in the case where the mounting hole is a round hole, using the example of replacing a transmitter mounting plate 36 with a new one due to a malfunction of the transmitter 24, where Figure 20(A) shows the state before removal and Figure 20(B) shows the state during removal.
[0117] When removing the transmitter mounting plate 36 with a faulty transmitter 24 located in the opening section A2, as shown in Figure 20(B), the two nuts 46 fastening the upper end of the transmitter mounting plate 36 to be replaced are removed from the stud bolts 44. Next, the nuts 46 fastening the SOS display mounting plate 40, response lamp mounting plate 38, and three closure mounting plates 42, which are arranged in this order below the transmitter mounting plate 36, are loosened to a rear position where they will not come off the stud bolts 44.
[0118] This allows the upper end of the transmitter mounting plate 36 to be tilted backward to tilt the transmitter mounting plate 36, and in this tilted state, the transmitter mounting plate 36 can be pulled out diagonally upward and backward as shown by arrow a, allowing the transmitter mounting plate 36 to be easily removed.
[0119] To install a new transmitter mounting plate 36, follow the removal procedure in reverse. First, insert the transmitter mounting plate 36 diagonally downward and forward, as shown by arrow b, onto the stud bolt 44 located below the opening section A2, with the nut 46 loosened, and fit the notched hole 64 on the lower end of the transmitter mounting plate 36 onto the stud bolt 44 located below the opening section A2.
[0120] Next, the transmitter mounting plate 36 is raised forward, and the stud bolts 44, with the nuts 46 removed and located above the opening section A2, are fitted into the notched holes 64 at the upper end. Next, the nuts 46 are screwed onto the stud bolts 44 located above the opening section A2 to fasten and fix the upper end of the transmitter mounting plate 36, and finally, the nuts 46, which were loosened, are screwed onto the bolt studs 44 to fasten and fix the mounting plates.
[0121] When the mounting holes of the mounting plate are formed as notched holes 64 in this way, the mounting plate to be replaced can be replaced by removing the nuts 46 that fasten and fix the upper end of the mounting plate to be replaced and loosening the nuts 46 located below them without removing them; as the number of nuts 46 that need to be removed can be reduced to two, the mounting plate replacement work can be carried out simply, easily and efficiently, and the removed nuts 46 can also be easily managed.
[0122] [i. Electric door with fixed red indicator light] The red indicator light 20 placed on the electrically equipped door 12 is an indicator light that shows the installation location of the fire hydrant device 10 inside the tunnel, so it is placed at the top of the electrically equipped door 12, and since there is no need to change its placement position in principle, it can be structured so that it is attached and fixed directly to the door body 30, which simplifies the door structure.
[0123] Fig. 21 is an explanatory diagram of an electric door with a red indicator light fixed to the door body, Fig. 21(A) shows the front (front side of the door), Fig. 21(B) shows the rear (rear side of the door), and Fig. 21(C) shows a cross section seen from the left side. Note that Fig. 21(C) is a cross section of the area gg indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 21(B).
[0124] 21, the door body 30 of the electrically equipped door 12 has a door panel at the top to securely mount the red indicator light 20, and a red indicator light mounting hole is formed in that location to mount the red indicator light 20, thereby achieving a fixed arrangement. For this reason, an arrangement opening 32 is formed below the red indicator light 20 that is fixedly mounted on the door body 30, and a transmitter mounting plate 36, an SOS display mounting plate 40, a response lamp mounting plate 38, and three closure mounting plates 42 are mounted therein so that their positions can be changed using the equipment mounting structure described above.
[0125] [j. Modifications of the present invention] (Electrical panel of disaster prevention equipment storage device) The above embodiment takes an example of an electrical door provided in a fire hydrant device as a disaster prevention equipment storage device, but is not limited to this and can also be applied to an electrical door of a fire extinguisher box or an individual reporting device, and further to an electrical door provided in a storage box for disaster prevention equipment installed indoors in a building, etc. It can also be applied to an electrical panel without a door structure provided in a disaster prevention equipment storage device.
[0126] (Mounting plate placement) In the above embodiment, the stepped end 48 formed on the upper end side of the equipment and closure mounting plate is arranged on the door body 30 so as to overlap with the lower end side of the other mounting plate arranged in the upper opening compartment, but the stepped end 48 may be formed on the lower end side and arranged on the door body 30 so as to overlap with the upper end side of the other mounting plate arranged in the lower opening compartment.
[0127] (Number of electrical devices installed) In the above embodiment, the electrical equipment arranged on the electrical door 12 is four pieces: the red indicator light 20, the transmitter 24, the telephone jack 25, and the answer lamp 26, but the number of electrical equipment arranged is not limited to this, and the electrical equipment arranged may be changeable; for example, if the electrical equipment arranged on the electrical door 12 is changed depending on the installation location of the disaster prevention equipment storage device, there may be cases where no electrical equipment is arranged on the electrical door 12. When there is no electrical equipment arranged on the electrical door 12, all opening sections of the arrangement opening are closed by the arrangement of the closing mounting plate.
[0128] (Installing a telephone jack) In the above embodiment, the telephone jack 25 is installed so that it can be used when the electrical door 12 is open, but it may also be installed so that it can be used when the electrical door 12 is closed or regardless of whether the electrical door 12 is open or closed.
[0129] (Disaster prevention equipment) In the above embodiment, a fire hydrant device was used as an example of a disaster prevention equipment storage device, but the present invention is not limited to disaster prevention equipment storage devices having such an electrical panel, and can also be applied to disaster prevention equipment equipped with such a disaster prevention equipment storage device.
[0130] (others) Furthermore, the present invention includes appropriate modifications that do not impair the objects and advantages thereof, and is not limited to the numerical values shown in the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
