DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] [1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] All the drawings relate to a storage unit having a waterproof structure according to the present invention as an embodiment of the device of the present invention.

[0022] (1) This storage facility A is primarily used for temporary storage of deliveries V, such as home parcels, by delivery companies, etc., in the storage section S, which is an internal space for accommodating items, and for the recipient of the delivery item V to retrieve it when needed.

[0023] (2) This storage facility A has an external shape that is approximately rectangular, and has a storage facility main body B equipped with a storage section S, a vertically long rectangular opening P that opens forward for inserting and retrieving the objects into and from the storage section S, and a door body D that can open and close the opening P.

[0024] The storage unit A has an operating unit M on the door body D that constitutes a part of the outer periphery of the storage unit A, which is used to lock and unlock the door and open and close the door body D from the outside. The door body D has a waterproof structure for the operating unit M.

[0025] (3) The waterproof structure for the operating part M in the storage A has a recess N formed inwardly on the front side Da of the door body D, and an openable and closable cover L that closes to cover most of the recess opening Nb, which is the part of the recess N that opens outward. The operating part M is provided on the recessed bottom Na of the recess N, and is composed of a dial part M1 that operates to lock and unlock the door body D from the outside, and a knob part M2 that is turned to open and close the door body D. The knob part M2 engages with a corresponding part on the storage body B side to maintain the door closed state by turning the engagement part E on the door body side, or releases the engagement to open the door. When the dial part M1 is used to lock the door in the closed door maintaining state in which the engagement part E is engaged with the corresponding part on the storage body B side, the knob part M2 cannot be used to release the engagement, and the door is maintained in the closed door state. The lid body L has, on its back side in the closed state, a surrounding wall-like portion La which is located within the recess N in the closed state and surrounds the upper portion, both sides and lower portion of the operating portion M at the recess bottom Na.

[0026] (3-1) The recess N is formed in the door body D so as to be recessed inward in the horizontal direction on the front side portion Da, which is a vertical plate-like portion.

[0027] The shape of the recess N in a front view is a vertically long rectangle. The recess bottom Na, which is the inner part of the recess N, forms a vertically long rectangular vertical surface parallel to the front side Da of the door body D, which is the outer peripheral surface on which the recess N is provided.

[0028] The portion of the recess N that opens outward (the recess opening Nb in the front side portion Da where the recess N is provided) is the portion excluding substantially the upper half of the recess N, and the shape of the recess opening Nb in a front view is a vertically elongated rectangle. The area of ​​the recess opening Nb is approximately half the area of ​​the recess bottom portion Na. Substantially the upper half of the recess N is covered by the front side portion Da.

[0029] An operating portion M for operating from the outside through the recess opening Nb is provided at a vertically intermediate position of a portion facing the recess opening Nb, which is approximately the lower half of the recess bottom Na.

[0030] Of the inner periphery of the recess N (the inner periphery of the recess N surrounding the space between the recess opening Nb [and front side portion Da] and the recess bottom portion Na), the recess top surface N1 and both recess side surfaces N2·N2 form a plane perpendicular to the front side portion Da and the recess bottom portion Na where the recess N is provided, and the recess bottom surface N3 forms an inclined plane sloping downward toward the front (i.e., toward the recess opening Nb).

[0031] The bottom surface N3 of the recess functions as an outflow portion through which aqueous liquid (water or various aqueous solutions or aqueous dispersions, etc.) that has entered the recess N can naturally flow out to the outside, including when the lid L is in the closed state.

[0032] (3-2) The lid L can be opened and closed, and closes the recess opening Nb so as to cover the entire opening Nb except for the horizontally elongated gap Ns at the upper end and the lower open portion Nt required for pivoting the lid L to open and close.

[0033] The cover body L rotates to open and close from a closed state relative to the door body D via the hinge body H so as to open upward.

[0034] Of the hinge body H that supports the lid body L to rotate for opening and closing, one of the flat rotating pieces Ha is fixed to the back side of the front side part Da in the upper half of the recess N so that the rotation axis of the rotating shaft part Hx is horizontal and parallel to the front side part Da on the lower side. The rotating shaft part Hx is located on the back side of the front side part Da in the upper half of the recess N that is covered by the front side part Da, which is almost not wetted by rain, in order to reduce or eliminate the need for maintenance when used in places that are wet by rain, etc. The part of the front side part Da that faces the upper edge of the recess opening Nb protrudes inward.

[0035] The other flat rotating piece Hb of the hinge body H is connected to the upper part of the back side (closed state) of the lid body L via a curved plate-like arm portion Hb1, whereby the lid body L is supported for rotation with respect to the door body D.

[0036] (3-3) The lid body L has a lid plate portion Lb and a surrounding wall portion La on the back side of the lid plate portion Lb in the closed state (the side facing the concave bottom portion Na) which is located within the recess N in the closed state and surrounds the upper part, both side portions and lower part of the operating portion M at the concave bottom portion Na.

[0037] In the closed state, the cover plate portion Lb is positioned parallel to the front side portion Da of the door body D so that the rear sides of both end portions are in contact with the front side of the front side portion Da.

[0038] The surrounding wall portion La has a vertically elongated rectangular shape when viewed from behind in the closed state, and is made up of an upper end plate portion L1, a pair of side plate portions L2, L2, and a lower end plate portion L3.

[0039] The upper end plate portion L1 is horizontal, and the rear end portion is bent vertically upward and close to the recessed bottom portion Na. The upper end plate portion L1 has a horizontally elongated through hole Lp at the middle position in the front-rear direction, through which the middle portion of the curved plate-like arm portion Hb1 is inserted.

[0040] Each side plate portion L2 is perpendicular to the cover plate portion Lb and has a vertical plate shape with a depth equal to that of the upper end plate portion L1.

[0041] The lower end plate portion L3 is located above the lower end of the cover plate portion Lb and has a horizontal shape, with an upwardly directed vertical bent portion Ls at its rear end. A thin plate-shaped permanent closing magnet Ga is fixed to the rear side of the vertical bent portion Ls, and in the closed state, the permanent closing magnet Ga is magnetically attracted to the concave bottom portion Na made of an iron-based material to maintain the closed state. In the closed state, there is a gap between the two side edges of the vertical bent portion Ls and each of the side plate portions L2.

[0042] The lower end plate portion L3 has a pair of lower end small holes Lw on the left and right sides of the front end thereof, and the lower end small holes Lw open so as to be in contact with the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb below the lower end of the surrounding wall portion La. An aqueous liquid (particularly an aqueous liquid that flows down along the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb) that has infiltrated into the surrounding wall portion La in the closed state and reached the lower end of the surrounding wall portion La flows out to the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb below the front of the lower end plate portion L3 (below the lower end of the surrounding wall portion La) through the lower end small holes Lw, and flows downward along the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb to flow out of the recess N. The cover plate portion Lb below the surrounding wall portion La prevents water or the like from entering the surrounding wall portion La from the outside through the lower end small holes Lw.

[0043] In addition, water-based liquid that penetrates into the surrounding wall portion La in the closed state and reaches the lower end portion of the surrounding wall portion La can flow downward through the gaps between both side edges of the vertical bend portion Ls and each side plate-shaped portion L2, and can flow out of the recess N via the lower surface N3 of the recess, etc.

[0044] (3-4) When the lid body L is in the closed state, an internal eave-shaped portion Qa is provided at a position above the operating portion M within the surrounding wall portion La, which covers the operating portion M and has an upper surface with a slope that receives the water-based liquid that has infiltrated into the upper portion of the surrounding wall portion La and flows downward toward the front.

[0045] The internal eave-shaped portion Qa is formed by connecting the front end portion of the internal eave-shaped portion Qa to the lower end portion (in closed state) of the vertical mounting plate portion Qb which is joined to the upper back side of the cover plate portion Lb in the eave-forming member Q at a slight upward incline toward the rear (inside the door body D or recess N).

[0046] The inner overhanging portion Qa has small overhanging holes Qw on the left, right, and center of the front end thereof, and the small overhanging holes Qw open so as to be in contact with the underside of the inner overhanging portion Qa and the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb surrounded by the surrounding wall portion La. When the cover body L is in the closed state, the aqueous liquid that has infiltrated into the surrounding wall portion La through the horizontal gap portion Ns and the horizontal through holes Lp of the upper end plate portion L1 is received by the upper surface of the inner overhanging portion Qa and allowed to flow forward, and the aqueous liquid that has flowed out downward and forward through the small overhanging holes Qw at the front end of the inner overhanging portion Qa flows down along the portion of the back surface of the cover plate portion Lb surrounded by the surrounding wall portion La, and can flow out of the surrounding wall portion La from the lower end of the surrounding wall portion La and out of the recess N.

[0047] (3-5) A horizontal protrusion Lm made of an iron-based material is formed on the front upper end of the cover plate portion Lb so as to protrude forward in a triangular shape in cross section when the cover is closed, and a vertically elongated permanent magnet material Gb for opening the cover is provided on the left and right sides above the recess opening Nb on the back side of the front portion Da of the door body D.

[0048] When the lid L is rotated upward to open it, the upper inclined surface Ln of the protrusion Lm in the closed state comes into contact with the front side Da and is magnetically attracted to the lid-opening permanent magnet Gb, maintaining the lid in the open state. The storage cabinet A as a whole, including the front side Da, is made of almost all iron-based materials, but the corresponding portion of the front side Da is made of a material that does not impede the magnetic attraction.

[0049] [2] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described, including embodiments other than those described above.

[0050] (1) The waterproof structure of the present invention is a waterproof structure for an operating part in an apparatus (e.g., a storage unit) having an operating part on its outer periphery for external operation. The apparatus of the present invention has an operating part on its outer periphery for external operation and has a waterproof structure for the operating part.

[0051] (2) The device of the present invention is a device having an operating part on its outer periphery for operating from the outside (for example, in the case of a door body (including a hinged door and a sliding door) for locking / unlocking or opening / closing the door body).

[0052] The outer periphery of the device refers to the outer part between the upper and lower parts of the device, and can be, for example, a vertical outer periphery or an outer periphery including a vertical part. More specifically, it can be, for example, the four vertical side parts (for example, the front part, the back part, and both side parts) of a rectangular parallelepiped whose top and bottom are horizontal.

[0053] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the device may have a door on the outer periphery (the door constitutes a part of the outer periphery), but is not limited to this.

[0054] (3) The waterproof structure of the present invention is The outer periphery has a recess formed so as to be recessed inward, and an openable and closable lid that closes to cover all or part of the portion of the recess that opens outward, and an operating part for operation from the outside is provided at the concave bottom of the recess, and the lid has a surrounding wall-like portion on its back side when in the closed state that is positioned within the recess when in the closed state and surrounds the upper part, both side parts and lower part of the operating part at the concave bottom.

[0055] (3-1) The recess is formed so as to be recessed inward (for example, substantially horizontally inward) from the outer periphery of the device.

[0056] The shape in elevation of the part of the recess that opens outward (the recess opening in the outer periphery where the recess is provided) may be a vertically elongated rectangle or other square shape, but may also be, for example, another polygonal shape, a rounded rectangle, an ellipse, an oval shape such as an egg shape, or a closed curve shape such as a circle.

[0057] The bottom of the recess, which is the inner part of the recess, may be, for example, a vertical surface or a surface parallel to the outer circumferential surface on which the recess is provided. It may be flat, but is not necessarily limited to this.

[0058] The concave bottom is located inside (e.g., approximately horizontally inward) of the part of the concave that opens outward (the concave opening), and the areas of both can be equal (and, for example, the shapes can also be equal), or the area of ​​one of them (e.g., the concave bottom) can be larger.

[0059] The concave bottom has an operating portion for operating from the outside (usually through a portion of the recess that opens outward).

[0060] The inner periphery of the recess (the inner periphery of the recess that surrounds the space between the recess opening and the recess bottom) can be, for example, a flat or curved surface that is perpendicular or inclined to the outer periphery where the recess is provided. For example, the recess bottom can be expanded upward compared to the recess opening, and the inner periphery of the recess can be formed along the outer periphery of the recess bottom.

[0061] The recess may have an outflow part through which the aqueous liquid (water or various aqueous solutions or aqueous dispersions, etc.) that has entered the recess can naturally flow out to the outside, including when the lid is in the closed state. An example of such an outflow part is one in which the lower part of the inner periphery of the recess is a surface (for example, a flat or curved surface) that slopes downward toward the outside (the outer periphery where the recess is provided).

[0062] (3-2) The lid is openable and closable, and closes so as to entirely or partially cover the portion of the recess that opens outward (the recess opening).

[0063] The lid can be opened and closed by rotating it about a predetermined rotation axis relative to the device (e.g., the door if the device has a door) via a predetermined hinge. The lid can be, for example, one that opens upward from a closed state or one that opens sideways.

[0064] It is preferable that the pivot shaft portion of the hinge body, which supports the lid body for rotation to open and close, be located inside the device (including any part of the recess that is located above the opening of the recess), which is substantially free from exposure to rain, etc., in order to reduce or eliminate the need for maintenance when used in places exposed to rain, etc.

[0065] (3-3) The lid body has a surrounding wall portion on its back side (opposite the concave bottom portion) in the closed state that is positioned within the recess in the closed state and surrounds the upper part, both sides and lower part of the operating portion in the concave bottom portion.

[0066] The lid body may, for example, have a lid plate portion located near the outer periphery of the device when in a closed state (or near the outer periphery and parallel to the outer periphery), and a surrounding wall portion formed on the back side of the lid plate portion.

[0067] The surrounding wall-like portion may be formed, for example, from multiple or a single plate-like material, or part of a plate-like material, or other material, and may surround the portion including the operating portion at the concave bottom in a vertically elongated rectangular shape or other square shape when viewed from above in the closed state, but may also surround the portion in a closed curved shape, for example, another polygonal shape, a rounded rectangle, an oval shape such as an ellipse, an egg shape, or a circle.

[0068] The lower end of the surrounding wall part when the lid is in the closed state (for example, in the case where the surrounding wall part has a lower end plate-like part constituting the lower end of the surrounding wall part, the lower end plate-like part) may have a small hole or gap through which the water-based liquid that has penetrated into the surrounding wall part in the closed state and reached the lower end of the surrounding wall part can flow downward from inside the surrounding wall part to the outside. Such a small hole or gap through which the water-based liquid can flow downward from inside the surrounding wall part in the closed state to the outside may be, for example, one at the front end of the lower end of the surrounding wall part when the lid is in the closed state, particularly one that flows from the front end of the lower end of the surrounding wall part to the back side of the lid part below the front of the surrounding wall part, one at the rear end of the lower end of the surrounding wall part and flows rearward, or one at the side end of the lower end of the surrounding wall part and flows downward to the side.

[0069] The upper end of the surrounding wall portion may be closed, or may have upper and lower holes for a hinge or the like for supporting the lid body to open, close, and rotate.

[0070] The enclosure can have an internal eave-shaped portion located above the operating portion within the enclosing wall portion when the lid is in a closed state, which covers the operating portion and has an upper surface with a slope that receives water-based liquid that has infiltrated into the upper portion of the enclosing wall portion and flows downward forward or to the side.

[0071] The inner overhanging portion may have small holes or gaps in its peripheral portion (e.g., the front end or side end portion) so that when the lid is in the closed state, the aqueous liquid flows from above the inner overhanging portion along the back surface surrounded by the surrounding wall portion of the lid or along the inside of the surrounding wall portion. When the lid is in the closed state, the front end of the inner overhanging portion is closed except for the small holes or gaps, for example, by being joined to the back surface of the lid within the surrounding wall portion or a member joined to the back surface of the lid, and the small holes or gaps are opened so as to be in contact with the back surface surrounded by the surrounding wall portion of the lid on the lower side of the inner overhanging portion, so that the aqueous liquid flows from above the inner overhanging portion along the back surface surrounded by the surrounding wall portion of the lid through the small holes or gaps.

[0072] (4) An example of a device of the present invention includes a door body that forms part of the outer periphery, and a closed door state maintaining section that can maintain the door body in a closed state, and the above-mentioned operating section for operation from outside has an operating section on the door body or on another outer periphery for performing an operation to release the closed door state maintained by the closed door state maintaining section.

[0073] More specifically, a storage unit body having a storage section which is an internal space for housing objects, and an opening for inserting and retrieving the objects in the storage section, the door body being capable of opening and closing the opening, can be mentioned.

[0074] The door body generally has a shape corresponding to the opening (for example, a roughly plate-like shape capable of closing the opening) in order to form an opening of sufficient area along a vertical surface (imaginary surface) on the outer periphery of the device (for example, an outer periphery that is roughly vertical; if the outer shape of the device is roughly rectangular, for example the front surface), and can be opened and closed by rotating around a vertical rotation axis located near one horizontal end along the vertical surface.

[0075] (5) Examples of devices having a door closed state maintaining unit capable of maintaining the door closed and an operating unit for operating from the outside, on the door body or other outer periphery, for performing an operation to release the door closed state maintained by the door closed state maintaining unit, include the following: Note that the operating unit may also be capable of performing an operation to maintain the door closed state.

[0076] (5-1) A door-closed state maintaining unit An engagement mechanism section which is a door body side engagement section provided on the door body side and a body side engagement section provided on the side of the storage cabinet body, and which cannot open the door when both (the door body side engagement section and the body side engagement section) are engaged in a closed door state, and can open the door when both are not engaged; and, and an operating mechanism for performing the operation of engaging and disengaging the door body side engaging part and the main body side engaging part in the engaging mechanism (for example, the operation of a manual mechanism for displacing both or one of the door body side engaging part and the main body side engaging part to engage or disengage, or the operation of an electric or other automatic mechanism), The operation of the operating mechanism unit may be performed at an operation unit.

[0077] Examples of operating parts that operate the operating mechanism include manual operating parts that operate manual mechanism parts such as levers, knobs or knobs that are rotated, buttons that are pressed, and other handles, or operating parts such as switches that operate electric or other automatic mechanism parts.

[0078] (5-2) The closed door state maintaining unit has the engagement mechanism, the operation mechanism, and a locking unit, The locking unit can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the operating mechanism cannot release the engagement between the door body side engagement portion and the main body side engagement portion of the engagement mechanism, In the unlocked state, the operation mechanism disengages the door body side engaging portion and the main body side engaging portion of the engaging mechanism to open the door body, The operation for locking or unlocking the locking part is performed by an operation part separate from the operation part that operates the operating mechanism part.

[0079] The locking unit may, for example, A lock that can set the unlock state selected by multiple dials displaying a large number of numbers, letters, symbols, etc., and can be locked by setting the dials to the unlocked state when the door is closed, and can be unlocked by setting the dials to the unlocked state; A door that can be locked when closed by electronically storing a code such as a number to unlock the door, and can be unlocked by inputting the code to unlock the door; A device that can be locked by setting an unlocking signal using radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, etc. when the door is closed, and can be unlocked by receiving the unlocking signal; A keyhole for inserting a key to turn and unlock the lock It can be, but is not limited to, the following.

[0080] (5-3) The holding of the door body in the closed state by the engagement mechanism and the release of the closed door holding state by the locking unit may be linked to the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state by the locking unit, respectively. That is, the engagement of the door body side engagement portion and the main body side engagement portion of the engagement mechanism by the operating mechanism may be linked to the switching from the unlocked state to the locked state by the locking unit, which is performed in the operating unit, and the disengagement of the door body side engagement portion and the main body side engagement portion of the engagement mechanism by the operating mechanism may be linked to the switching from the locked state to the unlocked state by the locking unit, which is also performed in the operating unit.

[0081] In this case, for example, in addition to the door body side engagement part and the main body side engagement part whose engagement is linked to the locking part's switching from a locked state to an unlocked state, there may be another door body side engagement part and a main body side engagement part which can be disengaged whether the locking part is in a locked state or an unlocked state, and when the locking part is in a locked state, even if the engagement between the other door body side engagement part and the main body side engagement part is released, the door body cannot be opened because the door body side engagement part and the main body side engagement part which are linked to the locking part are in an engaged state.
