Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage furniture for storing items such as communication devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes two types of storage furniture suitable for storing devices connected to cables: one with holes formed in the side panels for passing cables through, and another with a partition panel parallel to the back panel with holes formed in the partition panel for passing cables through. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-187947 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the storage furniture described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to pull cables inside the furniture, but holes for passing the cables through are formed in the side panels and partitions, and these holes for passing the cables through are large openings that detract from the design, resulting in a problem of degraded design.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage furniture that can prevent the exposure of cables while preventing a decrease in design. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The storage furniture of the present invention comprises a pair of opposing side panels and a partition panel that is positioned above the lower ends of the pair of side panels and separates a portion of the storage space formed by the pair of side panels into front and rear.

[0007] This storage furniture is equipped with a partition plate that divides part of the storage space into front and rear, so that cables can be passed behind the partition plate to prevent them from being exposed. In addition, because the partition plate is positioned above the lower ends of the pair of side plates, the cables can be passed from below the partition plate to the rear of the partition plate. This prevents the design from being impaired by drilling holes in the partition plate or side plates. Moreover, the space below the partition plate for passing the cables behind the partition plate is wide in the opposing direction of the side plates, so that it is easy to organize the cables.

[0008] The partition board may be detachably attached to the pair of side boards. In this storage furniture, since the partition board is detachably attached to the pair of side boards, wiring of cables and maintenance work become easy.

[0009] The furniture may further include a front door that is disposed above the lower ends of the pair of side panels and opens and closes the storage space forward. In this storage furniture, the space below the front door is connected to the storage space from the outside, so that even when the front door is closed, outside air can be taken into the storage space from below the front door. Therefore, even when heat-generating items are stored in the storage furniture and the front door is closed, the temperature rise in the storage space can be suppressed by taking in outside air from the space below the front door into the storage space.

[0010] The storage furniture may further include a top plate, and the partition plate may extend to the top plate. In this storage furniture, since the partition plate extends to the top plate, it is possible to further prevent the cables passed behind the partition plate from being exposed.

[0011] The storage space may have a rear storage space located behind the partition, and the storage furniture may have a rear opening that opens the rear storage space upward. This storage furniture has a top plate, but has a rear opening that opens the rear storage space upward, so that cables can be led out from the rear storage space to the back of the top plate. This makes it possible to make the cables led out from the storage furniture less visible. Also, for example, by attaching a fascia board to the top plate, it is possible to hide the cables led out to the back of the top plate. Moreover, when storing an item that generates heat, by storing the item below the partition plate, the heat generated from the item can be discharged from the rear opening to the back of the top plate. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space.

[0012] The storage space may have a front storage space located in front of the partition, and the storage furniture may have a front opening that opens the front storage space upward. This storage furniture has a top plate, but has a front opening that opens the front storage space upward, so when a heat-generating storage item is stored, the heat generated from the storage item can be discharged from the front opening to the back of the top plate. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space.

[0013] The storage furniture may further include a ventilation fan attached to the front opening. Since the ventilation fan is attached to the front opening of this storage furniture, operating the ventilation fan can forcibly generate airflow in the front storage space. This can further prevent heat from building up in the storage space.

[0014] The furniture may further include a shelf board that divides the storage space into upper and lower parts, and a gap may be formed between the shelf board and the partition board. In this storage furniture, the shelf board divides the storage space into upper and lower parts, so that items can be efficiently stored in the storage space. Furthermore, because a gap is formed between the shelf board and the partition board, even if items that generate heat are stored below the shelf board, the heat generated from the items can be discharged through the gap between the shelf board and the partition board and through the front opening to the back of the top board. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space.

[0015] The shelf board may be detachably attached to the pair of side boards. In this storage furniture, since the shelf board is detachably attached to the pair of side boards, wiring of cables and maintenance work are facilitated. Also, for example, if the partition board is detachable, the partition board can be easily attached and detached.

[0016] The furniture may further include a front door that opens and closes the storage space forward, and a gap may be formed between the front door and the shelf when the front door is closed. In this storage furniture, a gap is formed between the front door and the shelf when the front door is closed, so that even if heat-generating storage items are stored below the shelf and the front door is closed, the heat generated from the storage items can be discharged to the back of the top board through the gap between the shelf and the front door and the front opening. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space.

[0017] The storage furniture may further include a back panel disposed behind the partition panel and below the lower end of the partition panel. Since the back panel is disposed behind the partition panel and below the lower end of the partition panel, the wall on which the storage furniture is installed is prevented from being seen below the partition panel, while preventing the space behind the partition panel from being narrowed by the back panel. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress exposure of cables while suppressing deterioration of design. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] Hereinafter, the storage furniture of the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals in all the drawings, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the storage furniture 1 according to this embodiment is suitable for storing items equipped with cables such as communication devices, sensor management devices, and uninterruptible power supplies. Examples of cables include communication cables and power cables such as LAN cables, optical fiber cables, coaxial cables, and USB cables. However, the storage furniture 1 may also store items other than items equipped with these cables. The storage furniture 1 is installed in a space having, for example, a floor 11, a ceiling 12, a back wall 13, and a side wall 14. The back wall 13 and the side wall 14 are walls connected to the floor 11 and the ceiling 12, and the side wall 14 is a wall connected to the left side of the back wall 13 so as to be perpendicular to the back wall 13. In this embodiment, the storage furniture 1 is installed on the floor 11 so as to be in close contact with the back wall 13 and the side wall 14. Therefore, the floor 11 is the installation surface of the storage furniture 1. In the following description, the directions such as front, back, up, down, right, and left refer to the directions in the storage furniture 1 when it is installed.

[0022] The storage furniture 1 comprises a pair of side panels 2, 2, a front door 4, a top panel 5, a partition panel 6, a back panel 7, and a shelf panel 8.

[0023] The side panels 2, 2 are members for supporting the storage furniture 1. The side panels 2, 2 are formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the front-rear direction Y and the up-down direction Z of the storage furniture 1. The side panels 2, 2 are arranged to face each other in the left-right direction X. The space between the side panel 2 arranged on the left side and the side panel 2 arranged on the right side becomes the storage space 20 of the storage furniture 1. The side panel 2 arranged on the left side and the side panel 2 arranged on the right side have the same structure except for their arrangement in the left-right direction X. However, the side panel 2 arranged on the left side and the side panel 2 arranged on the right side may have different structures.

[0024] The side panels 2, 2 are erected on the floor 11 so as to abut against the back wall 13. That is, the lower ends 2a of the side panels 2, 2 abut against the floor 11, and the rear ends 2b of the side panels 2, 2 abut against the back wall 13. The side panel 2 disposed on the left side also abuts against the lateral wall 14. The side panels 2, 2 are fixed to the back wall 13. The side panels 2, 2 can be fixed to the back wall 13 by, for example, screwing using an L-shaped metal fitting.

[0025] The front door 4 is a member for opening and closing the front of the storage space 20. The front door 4 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The front door 4 is attached to one of the side panels 2, 2 so as to be able to swing with an opening and closing metal fitting such as a hinge. Therefore, the front door 4 can open and close the front of the storage space 20 by swinging around the opening and closing metal fitting such as a hinge as an axis. The lower end 4a of the front door 4 is disposed above the lower ends 2a of the side panels 2, 2, and the space between the front door 4 and the floor 11 is a space A without the front door 4.

[0026] The top plate 5 is a member disposed on the upper side of the storage space 20. The top plate 5 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the left-right direction X and the front-rear direction Y of the storage furniture 1. The top plate 5 is placed on the upper end surfaces of the side plates 2, 2 and is supported by the side plates 2, 2 from below. The top plate 5 is fixed to the side plates 2, 2. The top plate 5 can be fixed to the side plates 2, 2 by, for example, screws or adhesive. The top plate 5 will be described in more detail later.

[0027] The partition plate 6 is a member disposed in the storage space 20 and serves to divide a part of the storage space 20 into front and rear spaces. The partition plate 6 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z.

[0028] In the storage space 20, the partition plate 6 extends in the left-right direction X from the side plate 2 arranged on the left side to the side plate 2 arranged on the right side. To explain in detail, the left end 6a of the partition plate 6 abuts against the side plate 2 arranged on the left side, and the right end 6b of the partition plate 6 abuts against the side plate 2 arranged on the right side. The partition plate 6 does not necessarily have to abut against the side plates 2, 2, and may be spaced apart from the side plates 2, 2 as long as a large opening that would degrade the design is not formed between the partition plate 6 and the side plates 2, 2. In this case, the width of the gap between the partition plate 6 and the side plates 2, 2 can be, for example, 5 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or less, and more preferably 1 mm or less.

[0029] In the storage space 20, the partition plate 6 extends in the vertical direction Z from a position above the lower end 2a of the side panels 2, 2 to the top panel 5. To explain in detail, the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 is disposed above the lower end 2a of the side panels 2, 2 and the floor 11. The space between the partition plate 6 and the floor 11 is free of the partition plate 6. The height in the vertical direction Z from the lower end 2a of the side panels 2, 2 and the floor 11 to the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 can be, for example, 0.05 to 0.8 times the height of the storage furniture 1, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 times, and more preferably 0.3 to 0.4 times. The height of the storage furniture 1 is the height in the vertical direction Z from the lower end 2a of the side panels 2, 2 to the top surface of the top panel 5 (if no top panel is provided, the height in the vertical direction Z from the lower end 2a of the side panels 2, 2 to the upper end 2d of the side panels 2, 2). The height of the upper end 6d of the partition plate 6 in the vertical direction Z is the same as the height of the upper ends 2d of the side plates 2, 2 in the vertical direction Z, and the upper end 6d of the partition plate 6 abuts against the top plate 5 together with the upper ends 2d of the side plates 2, 2. The partition plate 6 does not necessarily have to abut against the top plate 5, and may be spaced apart from the top plate 5 as long as a large opening that would degrade the design is not formed between the partition plate 6 and the top plate 5. In this case, the width of the gap between the partition plate 6 and the top plate 5 can be, for example, 30 mm or less, preferably 15 mm or less, and more preferably 1 mm or less.

[0030] The partition plate 6 is disposed between the front end 2c and the rear end 2b of the side plates 2,2 in the front-rear direction Y, and divides a part of the storage space 20 into front and rear. To explain in detail, the partition plate 6 is disposed behind the front end 2c of the side plates 2,2 and in front of the rear end 2b of the side plates 2,2 in the front-rear direction Y. Therefore, at the position where the partition plate 6 is disposed, the storage space 20 is divided into front and rear by the partition plate 6. The storage space 20 located on the rear side of the partition plate 6 (the rear end 2b side of the side plates 2,2) is referred to as the rear storage space 21, and the storage space 20 located on the front side of the partition plate 6 (the front end 2c side of the side plates 2,2) is referred to as the front storage space 22. In other words, the storage space 20 has the rear storage space 21 and the front storage space 22. The front storage space 22 is a space suitable for storing items, and the rear storage space 21 is a space suitable for passing cables of the items. For this reason, the partition plate 6 is disposed rearward (toward the rear end 2b of the side plates 2, 2) from the center in the front-rear direction Y so that the front storage space 22 is wider than the rear storage space 21. In this case, the length L1 from the rear ends 2b of the side plates 2, 2 in the front-rear direction Y to the partition plate 6 can be, for example, 0.1 to 0.4 times, preferably 0.1 to 0.3 times, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.2 times, the length L2 from the front ends 2c to the rear ends 2b of the side plates 2, 2 in the front-rear direction Y.

[0031] The storage furniture 1 is formed with a rear opening 5a that opens the upper side of the rear storage space 21, and a front opening 5b that opens the upper side of the front storage space 22. To explain in detail, the top plate 5 extends in the left-right direction X from the side plate 2 arranged on the left side to the side plate 2 arranged on the right side, and also extends in the front-rear direction Y from the front end 2c of the side plates 2, 2 to the partition plate 6. In other words, the top plate 5 is arranged above the front storage space 22, but not above the rear storage space 21. Therefore, the rear side of the rear end 5c of the top plate 5 (the rear end 2b side of the side plates 2, 2), that is, the space between the rear end 5c of the top plate 5 and the back wall 13, becomes the rear opening 5a. In addition, a through hole penetrating the top plate 5 is formed in the center of the top plate 5, and this through hole becomes the front opening 5b. The upper side of the rear storage space 21 is open only at the rear opening 5a, and the upper side of the front storage space 22 is open only at the front opening 5b.

[0032] For example, a ventilation fan 9 is attached to the front opening 5b. The ventilation fan 9 is a device that forcibly exhausts air from the front storage space 22. The ventilation fan 9 is connected to, for example, a duct 9a that is piped on the back of the ceiling 12. For example, a fascia board 10 is arranged between the top board 5 and the ceiling 12 to hide the ventilation fan 9 and the duct 9a.

[0033] The partition plate 6 is detachably attached to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5. The partition plate 6 can be attached to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5 by, for example, fitting, magnetic force, or the like. In this embodiment, the partition plate 6 is described as being attached by fitting. When the partition plate 6 is attached by fitting, for example, a knockdown metal fitting (product name: Rafix 20) manufactured by Hafele, a catch metal fitting 30 shown in FIG. 5, or the like can be used. From the viewpoint of facilitating the attachment and detachment of the partition plate 6 to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5, a hole 6e for small fingers to hook thereon may be formed at the upper end portion of the partition plate 6, etc., so as to suppress a decrease in design.

[0034] The knockdown fittings of Hafele include a bolt (product name: connecting bolt for Rafix 20) and an anchor (product name: Rafix 20 casing). To detachably attach the partition plate 6 to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5 using the knockdown fittings of Hafele, first, a bolt is embedded in the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5, and the bolt is left protruding from the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5. An anchor is also embedded in the partition plate 6. Then, the bolt protruding from the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5 is dropped into the anchor embedded in the partition plate 6, and the anchor is rotated with a tool such as a screwdriver to connect the bolt to the anchor. This allows the partition plate 6 to be detachably attached to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5.

[0035] The catch metal fitting 30 shown in FIG. 5 includes a holding portion 31 and a held portion 32. The holding portion 31 includes a base portion 31a, a leaf spring 31b held by the base portion 31a and formed into a substantially V-shape, and a pair of rollers 31c rotatably held at both ends of the leaf spring 31b. The held portion 32 includes a base portion 32a, a protruding portion 32b protruding from the base portion 32a, and a widening portion 32c that widens at the tip of the protruding portion 32b. When the partition plate 6 is detachably attached to the side plate 2, 2 or the top plate 5 using the catch metal fitting 30, first, either the base portion 31a of the holding portion 31 or the base portion 32a of the held portion 32 is attached to the side plate 2, 2 or the top plate 5. Also, the other of the base portion 31a of the holding portion 31 or the base portion 32a of the held portion 32 is attached to the partition plate 6. Then, the widened portion 32c of the held portion 32 is pushed between the pair of rollers 31c of the holding portion 31, and the widened portion 32c and the protruding portion 32b are sandwiched between the pair of rollers 31c, thereby holding the held portion 32 by the holding portion 31. This allows the partition plate 6 to be detachably attached to the side plates 2, 2 or the top plate 5.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the back panel 7 is a member disposed at the rear of the storage space 20. The back panel 7 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the left-right direction X and the up-down direction Z of the storage furniture 1. The back panel 7 is disposed rearward of the partition panel 6 in the front-rear direction Y and abuts against the back wall 13. For example, an outlet 7b for supplying power to stored items is attached to the back panel 7. The outlet 7b is connected to, for example, a power cable (not shown) wired behind the back wall 13.

[0037] The back panel 7 extends in the left-right direction X from the side panel 2 located on the left side to the side panel 2 located on the right side, and is fixed to the side panels 2, 2. The back panel 7 can be fixed to the side panels 2, 2, for example, by screwing using L-shaped metal fittings. The back panel 7 extends in the up-down direction Z from the lower ends 2a of the side panels 2, 2 to a position lower than the lower end 6c of the partition panel 6. The back panel 7 stands on the floor 11, and is not located behind the partition panel 6, i.e., in the rear storage space 21.

[0038] When viewed from the front-to-rear direction Y, the back wall 13 can be seen between the partition plate 6 and the back plate 7. However, since the back plate 7 is disposed rearward of the partition plate 6, if the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 is below the user's eye level, the user will have difficulty seeing the back wall 13 between the partition plate 6 and the back plate 7. From this perspective, the height in the up-down direction Z from the lower ends 2a (floor 11) of the side plates 2, 2 to the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 can be, for example, 120 cm or less, preferably 100 cm or less, and more preferably 75 cm or less.

[0039] Furthermore, the shorter the length L3 in the vertical direction Z from the lower end 6c of the partition 6 to the upper end 7a of the back panel 7, the less visible the rear wall 13 becomes from between the partition 6 and the back panel 7. On the other hand, the gap between the partition 6 and the back panel 7 is preferably as large as possible because it serves as a space for passing cables of stored items in the rear storage space 21. From this perspective, the length L3 in the vertical direction Z from the lower end 6c of the partition 6 to the upper end 7a of the back panel 7 can be, for example, 3 cm or more and 10 cm or less, preferably 2 cm or more and 7 cm or less, and more preferably 3 cm or more and 5 cm or less.

[0040] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4 and 6, the shelf board 8 is disposed in the storage space 20, divides the storage space 20 into upper and lower parts, and is a member for placing stored items. The shelf board 8 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in the left-right direction X and the front-rear direction Y of the storage furniture 1. The shelf board 8 is detachably attached to the side boards 2, 2. The shelf board 8 can be detachably attached to the side boards 2, 2, for example, by attaching a dowel 40 to the side boards 2, 2, forming a recess 8a corresponding to the dowel 40 on the lower surface of the shelf board 8, and placing the shelf board 8 on the dowel 40 so that the dowel 40 fits into the recess 8a. In this case, a plurality of dowel holes 41 are formed in the side boards 2, 2 in the up-down direction Z, and the height of the shelf board 8 can be changed by changing the dowel hole 41 into which the dowel 40 fits. One shelf board 8 may be attached to the side boards 2, 2, or a plurality of shelf boards 8 may be attached. The shelf boards 8 may be attached at any position in the storage space 20 other than the rear storage space 21. In other words, the shelf boards 8 are attached to the front storage space 22 above the lower end 6c of the partition board 6, and are attached to any position in the storage space 20 below the lower end 6c of the partition board 6. In this embodiment, three shelf boards 8 are attached to the side boards 2, 2 in the front storage space 22.

[0041] The shelf board 8 is attached to the side boards 2, 2 such that a gap B is formed between the shelf board 8 and the partition board 3. The shelf board 8 is also attached to the side boards 2, 2 such that a gap C is formed between the front door 4 and the shelf board 8 when the front door 4 is closed. Such an arrangement can be achieved, for example, by making the length of the shelf board 8 in the front-to-rear direction Y shorter than the length in the front-to-rear direction Y from the front door 4 to the partition board 3 in the closed state, and by setting the positions of the dowel holes 41 and the dowels 40 and the position of the recesses 8a to positions where the gap B and the gap C are formed.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 9, the storage furniture 1 configured in this manner has a structure in which a first airflow AF1, a second airflow AF2, and a third airflow AF3 flow in the storage space 20. Fig. 9 shows a state in which a storage item 51 is placed on the floor 11 of the storage space 20, and a storage item 52 is placed on a shelf board 8 arranged in the front storage space 22.

[0043] The first airflow AF1 is an airflow that is introduced into the storage space 20 from the space A between the front door 4 and the floor 11, passes through the rear storage space 21 between the partition board 6 and the rear wall 13, and is discharged from the rear opening 5a to the back of the top board 5. The second airflow AF2 is an airflow that is introduced into the storage space 20 from the space A between the front door 4 and the floor 11, passes through the gap B between the shelf board 8 and the partition board 6 in the front storage space 22, and is discharged from the front opening 5b to the back of the top board 5. The airflow AF3 is an airflow that is introduced into the storage space 20 from the space A between the front door 4 and the floor 11, passes through the gap C between the front door 4 and the shelf board 8 in the front storage space 22, and is discharged from the front opening 5b to the back of the top board 5. The first airflow AF1, the second airflow AF2, and the third airflow AF3 that pass through the storage space 20 are naturally generated by, for example, an ascending airflow caused by heat generation of the stored items stored in the storage space 20. The second airflow AF2 and the third airflow AF3 passing through the front storage space 22 can be forcibly generated by operating the ventilation fan 9, for example.

[0044] Next, an example of a method for storing the storage item 51 and the storage item 52 in the storage furniture 1 will be described. Here, port 13a connected to a communication cable wired behind the back wall 13 is attached to a position above the top board 5 of the back wall 13, and storage item 51 and port 13a are connected by communication cable 51b, and storage item 52 and port 13a are connected by communication cable 52b.

[0045] First, as shown in Fig. 7, the front door 4 is opened and all shelves 8 and partitions 6 are removed. Then, the communication cables 51b and 52b that have passed through the rear opening 5a are connected to the port 13a. As a result, the communication cables 51b and 52b connected to the port 13a are pulled into the storage space 20 from the rear opening 5a.

[0046] 8, the partition plate 6 is attached to the side plates 2, 2 so that the communication cables 51b and 52b drawn into the storage space 20 are disposed in the rear storage space 21 between the partition plate 6 and the rear wall 13. As a result, the partition plate 6 hides a portion of the communication cables 51b and 52b, and the communication cables 51b and 52b are drawn downward from the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6.

[0047] Then, the storage item 51 is placed on the floor 11 of the storage space 20, the communication cable 51b drawn out from the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 is connected to the storage item 51, and the power cord 51a of the storage item 51 is connected to the outlet 7b attached to the back panel 7. In addition, all the shelves 8 are attached to the side panels 2, 2, the storage item 52 is placed on one of the shelves 8, the communication cable 52b drawn out from the lower end 6c of the partition plate 6 is connected to the storage item 52, and the power cord 52a of the storage item 52 is connected to the outlet 7b attached to the back panel 7. At this time, by bundling the excess lengths of the communication cables 51b and 52b behind the top panel 5, the communication cables 51b and 52b are prevented from being placed in a mess on the floor 11, and the storage space 20 can be made to look neat. This completes the storage of the storage items 51 and 52 in the storage furniture 1.

[0048] On the other hand, when performing maintenance on the communication cables 51b and 52b, for example, the power cord 52a is unplugged from the outlet 7b, the communication cable 52b is unplugged from the stored item 52, and the stored item 52 is lowered from the shelf 8. Then, all the shelves 8 are removed from the side panels 2, 2, and the partition panel 6 is removed from the side panels 2, 2. This exposes the communication cables 51b and 52b that were hidden by the partition panel 6. In this state, maintenance on the communication cables 51b and 52b is performed. When maintenance is completed, the above procedure is reversed to return the storage furniture 1 to the state in which the stored items 51 and 52 are stored.

[0049] In this way, the storage furniture 1 according to this embodiment includes the partition plate 6 that divides a part of the storage space 20 into front and rear, and thus cables can be passed behind the partition plate 6 to prevent them from being exposed. Since the partition plate 6 is disposed above the lower end 2a of the pair of side plates 2, 2, the cables can be passed from below the partition plate 6 to the rear of the partition plate 6. This prevents the design from being deteriorated due to holes being drilled in the partition plate 6 or the side plates 2, 2. Moreover, the space below the partition plate 6 for passing the cables behind the partition plate 6 is wide in the left-right direction X, which is the opposing direction of the side plates 2, 2, so that the cables can be easily organized.

[0050] Furthermore, in this storage furniture 1, the partition board 6 is detachably attached to the side boards 2, 2, which facilitates the wiring of cables and the maintenance work.

[0051] Furthermore, in this storage furniture 1, because the area below the front door 4 is space A that leads to the storage space 20 from the outside, it is possible to take in outside air from below the front door 4 into the storage space 20 even when the front door 4 is closed. Therefore, even if heat-generating items are stored and the front door 4 is closed, the outside air can be taken into the storage space 20 from space A below the front door 4, thereby preventing the temperature of the storage space 20 from rising.

[0052] Furthermore, in this storage furniture 1, since the partition board 6 extends to the top board 5, it is possible to further prevent cables that are passed behind the partition board 6 from being exposed.

[0053] In addition, this storage furniture 1 is provided with a top plate 5, but has a rear opening 5a that opens the rear storage space 21 upward, so that cables can be routed from the rear storage space 21 to the back of the top plate 5. This makes it possible to make the cables routed from the storage furniture less visible. Also, by attaching a skirting board 10 to the top plate 5, it is possible to hide the cables routed to the back of the top plate 5. Moreover, when storing an item that generates heat, by storing the item below the partition board 6, the heat generated from the item can be discharged from the rear opening 5a to the back of the top plate 5 by the first airflow AF1. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space 20.

[0054] In addition, this storage furniture 1 is provided with a top plate 5, but has a front opening 5b that opens the front storage space 22 upward, so that when a heat-generating storage item is stored, the heat generated from the storage item can be discharged from the front opening 5b to the back of the top plate 5. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space 20.

[0055] In addition, in this storage furniture 1, since the ventilation fan 9 is attached to the front opening 5b, the second airflow AF2 and the third airflow AF3 can be forcibly generated by operating the ventilation fan 9. This makes it possible to further prevent heat from being trapped in the storage space 20.

[0056] In addition, in this storage furniture 1, the storage space 20 is divided into upper and lower parts by the shelf board 8, so that items can be efficiently stored in the storage space 20. Moreover, because a gap B is formed between the shelf board 8 and the partition board 6, even if an item that generates heat is stored below the shelf board 8, the heat generated from the item can be discharged by the second airflow AF2 from the gap B between the shelf board 8 and the partition board 6 and from the front opening 5b to the back of the top board 5. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space 20.

[0057] Furthermore, in this storage furniture 1, the shelf boards 8 are detachably attached to the side boards 2, 2, which facilitates cable wiring and maintenance work, and also makes it easy to attach and detach the partition boards 6.

[0058] In addition, in this storage furniture 1, because a gap C is formed between the front door 4 and the shelf board 8 when the front door 4 is closed, even if heat-generating storage items are stored below the shelf board 8 and the front door 4 is closed, the heat generated from the storage items can be discharged from the gap C between the shelf board 8 and the front door 4 and through the front opening 5b to the back of the top board 5. This makes it possible to prevent heat from building up in the storage space 20.

[0059] In addition, in this storage furniture 1, the back panel 7 is positioned rearward of the partition panel 6 and below the lower end 6c of the partition panel 6, thereby preventing the rear wall 13 from being visible below the partition panel 6 while preventing the rear storage space 21, which is the space behind the partition panel 6, from being narrowed by the back panel 7.

[0060] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate.

[0061] For example, in the above embodiment, the partition plate 6 and the shelf plate 8 are described as being detachably attached to the side plates 2, 2. However, at least one of the partition plate 6 and the shelf plate 8 may be attached non-detachably to the side plates 2, 2.

[0062] Also, in the above embodiment, the rear opening 5a has been described as being formed by the top plate 5 only extending from the front ends 2c of the side plates 2, 2 to the partition plate 6 in the front-rear direction Y and not being disposed above the rear storage space 21. However, the rear opening 5a may be formed, for example, by the top plate 5 extending in the front-rear direction Y to a position rearward of the partition plate 6 and not being disposed in a portion above the rear storage space 21, or the top plate 5 may extend in the front-rear direction Y to the rear ends 2b of the side plates 2, 2 and be formed by a through hole penetrating the top plate 5 like the front opening 5b.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the port 13a is attached to a position above the top plate 5 of the back wall 13, and the outlet 7b is attached to the back plate 7. However, the port 13a may be attached to a position corresponding to the rear storage space 21 of the back wall 13. This allows the communication cables 51b and 52b to pass through the rear storage space 21, thereby preventing the communication cables 51b and 52b from being exposed. Similarly, the outlet 7b may be attached to a position above the top plate 5 of the back wall 13 or to a position corresponding to the rear storage space 21 of the back wall 13. This allows the power cords 51a and 52a to pass through the rear storage space 21, thereby preventing the power cords 51a and 52a from being exposed.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the rear storage space 21 is not provided with a back panel or the like, and the rear wall 13 is exposed in the rear storage space 21. However, a decorative material such as a back panel that decorates the rear wall 13 may be arranged on the rear side of the rear storage space 21. The decorative material may be arranged only on a part of the rear side of the rear storage space 21, may be arranged on the entire rear side of the rear storage space 21, or may be arranged up to a position lower than the rear storage space 21. By arranging the decorative material up to a position lower than the rear storage space 21, it is possible to prevent the rear wall 13 from being exposed. In addition, when the back panel 7 of the above embodiment is not provided, the decorative material is arranged on the entire rear side of the storage space 20, so that the rear wall 13 can be prevented from being exposed.
