[0025] There is a space under the floor (not shown) of the railway vehicle on the positive Z-axis side as viewed from the housing device 1, and the housing device 1 is attached to the floor under it. The housing device 1 is configured to be able to accommodate various electrical devices according to the type and car number of the railway vehicle. Also, in one vehicle, two housing devices 1 can be arranged in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, they are arranged in a direction such that the cylindrical portion 90 described later is not exposed, but of course it is not limited to this.

[0026] [Bottom surface portion] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the bottom surface portion 40 has a surface parallel to the X-axis direction (the third axis direction) and the Y-axis direction (the first axis direction). In this embodiment, the bottom surface portion 40 is rectangular with a short side in the X-axis direction and a long side in the Y-axis direction, but of course it is not limited to this, and it may be rectangular with a long side in the X-axis direction and a short side in the Y-axis direction, or square. In this embodiment, the bottom surface portion 40 is formed of iron, but of course it is not limited to this, for example, it may be stainless steel (SUS), or not limited to metal, and may be made of resin.

[0027] [Plate portion] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the plate portion 20 has an upper surface portion 21 that faces the bottom surface portion 40 and is connected to the framework 10 (described later), and a plurality of side surface portions 22 and 23 that are parallel to each other in the XZ plane (second plane) orthogonal to the Y-axis direction and are connected to the framework 10.

[0029] The upper surface portion 21 has suspension fittings 211 to 214 for attaching the housing device 1 under the floor of a railway vehicle on the positive Z-axis side. In this embodiment, the suspension fittings 211 to 214 are provided at the four corners of the rectangular upper surface portion 21 (see FIGS. 1 to 3). The suspension fittings 211 to 214 are connected to the upper surface portion 21 by bolts B and nuts N (see FIG. 7). The bolts B penetrate and connect not only the suspension fittings 211 to 214 and the upper surface portion 21, but also the suspension fittings 211 to 214, the upper surface portion 21, and the framework 10.

[0030] The upper surface portion 21 also has an upper surface bending portion 215 that extends in the negative Z-axis direction from the four sides of the upper surface 210. The upper surface bending portion 215 has a "□" shape when viewed from the Z-axis direction (the second axial direction), and is located outside the size of the outer frame before the upper surface portion 21 is fitted (in the state where the bottom surface portion 40, the framework 10, and the plurality of side surface portions 22 and 23 are combined, see Fig. 3) (when viewed from the Z-axis direction). That is, when the upper surface portion 21 is combined, when viewed from the Z-axis direction, the upper surface bending portion 215 is located on the outermost side among the plurality of side surface portions 22 and 23, the front surface portion 13, and the rear surface portion 14 (see Figs. 1 and 2).

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the upper surface portion 21 has a plurality of upper surface connection holes 21A through which the bolts B penetrate the upper surface portion 21.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, the second side surface 230 has a plurality of second connection holes 23A through which the first connection member T penetrates the second side surface portion 23. In the present embodiment, the arrangement of the plurality of second side surface connection holes 23A is such that the first connection member T connects the second side surface portion 23 and the framework 10 (penetrates in the Y-axis direction), so that when viewed from the Y-axis direction, a plurality of sub-frames 12E, 12G, 12J of the framework 10 and the second main frame 11E are connected, and positions where the second main frame 11E is not arranged on the plurality of sub-frames 12E, 12G, 12I when viewed from the Y-axis direction (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

[0044] In the present embodiment, five of the plurality of first side surface connection holes 22A are provided side by side along the X-axis direction, and three sets of the five are provided along the Z-axis direction.

In the present embodiment, two first sub-connection holes 123F are provided at the connection portion connecting to the first main frame 11A.

[0123] In addition, as viewed from the Y-axis direction, the first side connection holes 22A are arranged at the positions where the second sub corresponding holes 127F are provided. The first connection member T penetrates the first side connection hole 22A and then the second sub corresponding holes 127F. In other words, the first side connection hole 22A and the second sub corresponding holes 127F are arranged on a straight line in the Y-axis direction. In this embodiment, three second sub corresponding holes 127F are provided along the X-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the three second sub corresponding holes 127F are provided in the positive and negative directions of the X-axis, centered on a hole provided at a position overlapping with the second main corresponding hole 113C' as viewed from the Y-axis direction.

[0125] The above-mentioned plurality of second sub-connecting holes 123F and the plurality of second main connecting holes 113C are used as holes for temporarily fastening the sub-frame 12F and the main frame 11. This is because the main frame 11 and the sub-frame 12 need to be fixed in advance in order to connect them to the plate portion 20, the front portion 13, and the rear portion 14, which will be described later. In this embodiment, for example, the two second sub-connecting holes 123F and the second main connecting holes 113C may be fixed in advance with bolts and nuts, rivets, or the like, for temporary fastening.

[0126] The first sub-frame surface 121F has a recess 124F cut into a U-shape.

That is, when viewed from the Z-axis direction, one end of the sub-frame 12F in the positive X-axis direction has a portion where only the first sub-frame surface 121F is formed. The first sub-frame surface 121F has a first extending portion 1211F provided on the positive X-axis side (on the side of the front bending portion 130A or the front portion 13) of the second sub-frame surface 122F when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The first extending portion 1211F abuts (contacts) the front bending portion 130A and the front surface 130. The first extending portion 1211F also has a first notch portion 125F' cut toward the negative Y-axis side. The role of the first notch portion 125F' is to provide relief for sheet metal bending. That is, it is a notch for preventing the sheet metal (frame) from being pulled and becoming convex outward when the sub-frame 12F is bent.

[0129] The second engaging portion 126F is formed shorter than the first sub-frame surface 121F in the X-axis direction when viewed from the Z-axis direction.

Thereby, the sub-frame 12B and the front portion 13 are positioned about the Z-axis. Of course, this is not limited to the sub-frame 12B, and the same applies to the sub-frames 12C, 12D, and 12I.

[0184] The engagement mechanism has a fourth engagement mechanism M4 that positions the rear portion 14 and the sub-frames 12B to 12D, 12I about the Z-axis at any plurality of locations among a plurality of fourth intersection regions W4 where the rear portion 14 intersects the sub-frames 12B to 12D, 12I.

[0185] The fourth engagement mechanism M4 includes a second recess 1400B having a plurality of third opposing surfaces 1401B facing in the Y-axis direction provided on a plurality of first rear bent surfaces 140B of the rear portion 14, and a second engaging portion 126B provided on the sub-frame 12B and engaging with the second recess 1400B. Of course, this is not limited to the sub-frame 12B, and the same applies to the sub-frames 12C, 12D, and 12I.

[0186] That is, even if the sub-frame 12B attempts to move (rotate) about the Z-axis by the fourth engagement mechanism M4, the movement (rotation) is restricted by the second recess 1400A of the first rear bending surface 140B (the second engaging portion 126B catches on the plurality of third opposing surfaces 1401A of the second recess 1400A). As a result, the sub-frame 12B and the rear portion 14 are positioned about the Z-axis. Of course, this is not limited to the sub-frame 12B, and the same applies to the sub-frames 12C, 12D, and 12I.

[0187] [Door portion] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the door portion 30, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the door portion 30, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the elastic member 80. As shown in FIG. 1, the door portion 30 has a first door portion 30A and a second door portion 30B on the front surface portion 13 side. In the present embodiment, the length of the door portion 30 in the Y-axis direction is approximately 600 mm, but of course, it is not limited to this.

In the present embodiment, the first door portion 30A is formed of iron, but of course, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be made of stainless steel (SUS), or not limited to metal, and may be made of resin.

[0189] The door surface 31A has a rectangular shape with a short side in the Z-axis direction and a long side in the Y-axis direction. The fastening fitting 33A is rotatable about the center in the X-axis direction. The fastening fitting 33A has a hook portion 331A provided inside the first door portion 30A (on the negative X-axis side with respect to the door surface 31A). Also, the shape of the door surface 31A is not limited to the above, and may be a rectangular shape with a long side in the Z-axis direction and a short side in the Y-axis direction, or may be a square shape.

[0190] When closing the first door portion 30A, in a state where the elastic member 80 described later is pressed against the flange 131B, the fastening fitting 33A is rotated, and the hook portion 331A is brought into contact (pressed contact) with the contact portion 131C, thereby maintaining the closed state of the door.

[0191] [Elastic member] The elastic member 80 is an annular sealing material that is attached to the first door portion 30A and abuts against the first opening end portion 131 when the door is closed. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 80 is formed of a packing, but of course it is not limited to this.

[0192] The elastic member 80 is provided in a rectangular ring shape inside the door surface 31A of the first door portion 30A (on the negative X-axis side with respect to the door surface 31A). Here, the elastic member 80 is in a state where the elastic member 80 is continuously formed, and a plurality of elastic members are adhered or combined to form a rectangular ring shape. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the elastic member 80 may be integrally formed as a single member (one piece) without joints.

[0193] As shown in FIG. 13, the elastic member 80 has a bottom portion 81 and a bulging portion 82. The bottom portion 81 is provided in a rectangular ring shape along the flange portion 131B and adheres to the door surface 31A. The bulging portion 82 is provided on the bottom portion 81 and bulges toward the negative X-axis side.

[0194] As described above, when closing the first door portion 30A, by closing the door with the bulging portion 82 being crushed toward the positive X-axis side, a sealed state can be formed with respect to the first door portion 30A. As shown in FIG. 12, although a hollow space is not formed in the cross section of the elastic member 80, for example, a hollow space may be provided in the bulging portion 82. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the cross-sectional shape of the elastic member 80 viewed from the Y-axis direction may be rectangular or square (without a convex shape).

[0195] [Mounting member] FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the mounting member 50, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the support member 50A. Further, FIG. 16 is a perspective view of the fixing tool 50C, FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing the mounting method of the fixing tool 50C, and FIG. 18 is an enlarged view of the fixing tool 50C and the support member 50A.

[0196] The attachment member 50 includes a support member 50A that supports a plurality of electrical devices 54, and a relay connector 50B provided on the support member 50A for supplying the power output from an external power source to each of the plurality of electrical devices 54. The attachment member 50 is fixed to the framework 10 by a fixture 50C via an attachment support member 50D. In the present embodiment, the attachment member 50 is formed of an aluminum frame.

[0197] (Support member) The support member 50A is parallel to the XZ plane and has a plurality of column frames 51 provided parallel to each other. The support member 50A is also parallel to the Y-axis direction, has a plurality of support frames 52 provided parallel to each other and provided between the plurality of column frames 51. The plurality of electrical devices 54A, 54B, and 54C are attached to the YZ plane of the plurality of support frames 52 or are attached in a three-dimensional shape spanning between the plurality of support frames 52. In the present embodiment, the support member 50A is an aluminum frame.

[0198] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the plurality of column frames 51 include a first column frame 51A that extends along the Z-axis direction and has a plane parallel to the XZ plane, and a second column frame 51B that extends along the Z-axis direction and has a plane parallel to the XZ plane and faces the Y-axis direction.

[0199] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the plurality of support frames 52 are provided to connect between the first column frame 51A and the second column frame 51B, and are "C"-shaped frames having an opening in the negative direction of the Y-axis. The plurality of support frames 52 include a first support frame 52A, a second support frame 52B, a third support frame 52C, and a fourth support frame 52D in order from the positive direction side of the Z-axis. In the present embodiment, the plurality of support frames 52 are four frames, but of course, it is not limited to this, and there may be three or five frames.

[0200] The first support frame 52A has a rectangular first hole portion 522A to which a fixture 50C described later is attached on the negative Y-axis side, and a circular second hole portion 521A on the positive Y-axis side of the first hole portion 522A. Further, the first support frame 52A has a rectangular first hole portion 523A to which the fixture 50C is attached on the positive Y-axis side, and a circular second hole portion 524A on the negative Y-axis side of the first hole portion 523A.

[0201] Also, the fourth support frame 52D has a rectangular first hole portion 522D to which the fixture 50C is attached on the negative Y-axis side, and a circular second hole portion 521D on the positive Y-axis side of the first hole portion 522D. Further, the fourth support frame 52D has a rectangular first hole portion 523D to which the fixture 50C is attached on the positive Y-axis side, and a circular second hole portion 524D on the negative Y-axis side of the first hole portion 523D.

[0202] Also, when the first support frame 52A and the first attachment support member 501D are fixed by the fixture 50C described later, a part of the fixture 50C is configured to be visible from the above-described second hole portion 521A. Of course, this is not limited to the second hole portion 521A, and the same applies to the second hole portions 524A, 521D, and 524D.

[0203] The second support frame 52B is provided on the negative side of the first support frame 52A in the Z-axis direction, and includes a first frame 521B extending along the Y-axis direction, a second frame 522B provided on the negative Y-axis side of the first frame 521B and extending in the Z-axis direction, a third frame 523B provided on the positive Z-axis side of the second frame 522B and connected to the second column frame 51B and extending along the Y-axis direction, and a fourth frame 524B provided on the negative Z-axis side of the second frame 522B and connected to the second column frame 51B and extending along the Y-axis direction.

[0204] As shown in FIG. 14, on the second support frame 52B, a first electrical device 54A attached to the first frame 521B and a third electrical device 54C attached to the third frame 523B and the fourth frame 524B are attached. Examples of the attachment method include, but are not limited to, the method using the DIN rail D, such as screwing.

[0205] In this embodiment, the DIN rail D is attached to the third support frame 52C, and the second electrical device 54B corresponding to the DIN rail D is attached to the DIN rail D. Thereby, since screw fastening can be reduced, the working efficiency can be improved.

[0206] As shown in FIG. 14, the third support frame 52C is provided on the negative direction side of the second support frame 52B in the Z-axis direction, extends along the Y-axis direction, and is provided (connected) between the first pillar frame 51A and the second pillar frame 51B. A second electrical device 54B is attached to the third support frame 52C.

[0207] The first electrical device 54A, the second electrical device 54B, and the third electrical device 54C are not particularly limited, and are, for example, circuit breakers.

[0208] (Mounting support member) As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting support member 50D is a frame having a first mounting support member 501D and a second mounting support member 502D.

[0209] As described above, the first mounting support member 501D is a frame connected to the mounting member connection holes 115C, 115D, and 115E. Also, as described above, the second mounting support member 502D is connected to the mounting member connection holes 116C, 116D, and 116E. The mounting support member 50D is fixed to the second main frames 11C, 11D, and 11E by, for example, bolts and nuts.

[0210] The first mounting support member 501D has a corresponding hole 5012D corresponding to the first hole 522A provided in the first support frame 52A. Although not shown, the first mounting support member 501D further has corresponding holes corresponding to the second hole 521A, the first hole 523A, and the second hole 524A.

[0211] The second mounting support member 502D has holes corresponding to the first hole 522D, the second hole 521D, the first hole 523D, and the second hole 524D provided in the fourth support frame 52D.

[0212] Here, "corresponding" means that it is configured to be provided so as to penetrate when viewed from the X-axis direction.

[0213] (Relay connector) As shown in FIG. 13, the relay connector 50B is attached to the support member 50 (the third support frame 52C). The relay connector 50B is a connector for supplying the power supplied from an external power source via the external wiring 90 to the electric devices 54A, 54B, and 54C via the internal wirings 53A and 53B. Here, the external wiring 90 is inserted inside through the cylindrical portion 90A provided in the wiring hole 133.

[0214] Here, the cylindrical portion 90 has a packing (not shown) having an external wiring hole into which the wiring hole 133 is fitted and through which the external wiring 90 is inserted. In the present embodiment, the packing has one external wiring hole, and the external wiring hole is configured to pass the external wiring 90 having an outer diameter equal to or larger than the hole diameter of the external wiring hole. Thereby, a waterproof structure can be imparted to the hole through which the external wiring 90 passes. In the present embodiment, the structure is such that one external wiring hole is provided in one packing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more external wiring holes may be provided according to the number of the external wirings 90 to be inserted.

[0215] The relay connector 50B is configured such that an external wiring 90 having a first connector formed in the same shape and internal wirings 53A and 53B having a second connector are fitted and connected. The first connector (not shown) is fitted and connected from one end side of the housing of the relay connector 50B, and the second connector (not shown) is fitted and connected from the other end side of the housing of the relay connector 50B. For this reason, insertion ports into which the first connector and the second connector are respectively inserted and fitted are formed at one end side and the other end side of the housing of the relay connector 50B. The insertion ports provided at one end side and the other end side of the housing of the relay connector 50B open in a direction parallel to the direction in which the first connector and the second connector are fitted.

[0216] In this embodiment, power is supplied from the two external wirings 90 gathered together, through the relay connector 50B, to the first internal wiring 53A and the second internal wiring 53B, and then to the electric devices 54A, 54B, and 54C. Of course, the number of the external wirings 90 is not limited to this, and may be three or four. Also, in this embodiment, power is supplied from the first internal wiring 53A to the first electric device 54A and from the second internal wiring 53B to the second electric device 54B. Of course, this is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that two internal wirings 53 are connected to the first electric device 54A and three internal wirings 53 are connected to the second electric device 54B. The arrangement of the relay connector 50B is not limited to the third support frame 52C, and may be the second support frame 52B.

[0217] [Fastening tool] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 18, the fastening tool 50C is a panel fastener and includes a mounting plate 501C, a bearing member 502C attached to the mounting plate 501C, and a pair of hooks 503C. Hereinafter, the fastening tool 50C attached to the first hole 522A will be described. Of course, this is not limited to this, and the case of being attached to the first holes 524A, 522D, and 524D is the same as that of the first hole 522A.

[0218] The mounting plate 501C has a first mounting surface 5011C which is a flat surface larger than the first hole portion 522A. The first mounting surface 5011C is a surface parallel to the YZ side surface and parallel to the first support frame 52A. The mounting plate 501C also has a second mounting surface 5012C on the side opposite to the first mounting surface 5011C.

[0219] The bearing member 502C is attached to the first mounting surface 5011C and rotatably supports a pair of hooks 503C described later. The bearing member 502C is configured to be smaller than the first hole portion 522A and the first mounting hole 1121A when viewed from the X-axis direction.

[0220] The pair of hooks 503C is rotatably supported by the bearing member 502C described above about the Z-axis. The pair of hooks 503C is configured to be larger than the first hole portion 522A and the first mounting hole 1121A when viewed from the X-axis direction. The pair of hooks 503C is held at a position protruding from the bearing member 502C when viewed from the Z-axis direction by a coil.

[0221] When the fixture 50C is inserted through the first hole portion 522A and the first mounting hole 1121A, the pair of hooks 503C is inserted while being pushed inward by the frames of the first hole portion 522A and the first mounting hole 1121A.

[0222] When the first mounting surface 5011C abuts against the first support frame 52A, the pair of hooks 503C protrudes outward by the force of the spring. As a result, the pair of hooks 503C is locked to the first mounting support member 501D, and the first support frame 52A is fixed to the main frame 11. Also, when the first support frame 52A and the first mounting support member 501D are fixed by the fixture 50C as described above, the pair of hooks 503C is configured to be visible to the operator from the second hole portion 521A described above (see FIG. 18).

[0223] A pair of hooks 503C may be provided with a mark at a position visible from the second hole 521A. Here, the mark is, for example, a red line or a fluorescent paint. This makes it easier for the operator to visually recognize the pair of hooks 503C.

[0224] The fixture 50C has a release portion 504C that allows a pair of hooks 503C to be accommodated within the bearing member 502C on the second mounting surface 5012C. The pair of hooks 503C are accommodated within the bearing member 502C by rotating the release portion 504C about the X-axis direction. The release portion 504C is rotated using a handle member or the like for rotating the release portion 504C. This enables attachment and detachment between the first mounting support member 501D and the attachment member 50.

[0225] [Third connecting member] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the third connecting member 60 connects the main frame 11 and the sub-frame 12.

[0226] In the present embodiment, the third connecting member 60 is a rivet, and more specifically, a flat head rivet.

[0227] [Second connecting member] As shown in FIG. 9, the second connecting member 70 connects a plurality of first main frames 11A, 11B and a plurality of second main frames 11C, 11D, 11E.

[0228] The connection points are a plurality of first bent connection holes 114A and second bent connection holes 114C, 113D, 114E, and a plurality of first bent connection holes 113B and second bent connection holes 114C, 113D, 114E. In the present embodiment, the second connecting member 70 is a rivet, and more specifically, a round head rivet.

[0229] [First connecting member] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first connecting member T connects the framework 10 and the first side surface portion 22 and the second side surface portion 23.

[0230] Insert the first connecting member T into a plurality of first side surface connecting holes 22A to connect the sub-frames 12A, 12F, 12H and the second main frame 11C to the first side surface portion 22.

[0231] Also, insert the first connecting member T into a plurality of second side surface connecting holes 23A to connect the sub-frames 12E, 12G, 12J and the second main frame 11E to the second side surface portion 23.

[0232] In this embodiment, the first connecting member T is a rivet, and more specifically, a waterproof rivet. Thereby, the airtightness of the housing device 1 can be enhanced.

[0233] (Manufacturing method of the housing device) Subsequently, a manufacturing method of the housing device 1 of this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

[0234] The manufacturing method of the housing device 1 in this embodiment includes a step of assembling the framework structure 10, a step of attaching the attachment member 50 to the framework structure 10, and a step of assembling the plate portion 20 and the door portion 30 to the framework structure 10 to which the attachment member 50 is attached.

[0235] The step of assembling the framework structure 10 will be described (see FIGS. 5 to 9). First, the main frame body 11 is assembled (see FIGS. 8 and 9). As described above, the main frame body 11 connects and fixes the first main frames 11A and 11B and the second main frames 11C, 11D, and 11E with the second connecting member 70. Thereby, the main frame 11 is assembled as shown in FIG. 8.

[0236] At this time, the connection method between the first main frames 11A and 11B and the second main frames 11C, 11D, and 11E may be not only the second connecting member 70 but also fillet welding at the locations connected by the second connecting member 70.

[0237] Next, the sub-frame 12 is connected to the main frame body 11 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The connection (assembly) of the main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12 is connected and fixed by the third connecting member 60 as described above.

[0238] At this time, fillet welding may be performed at the contact portion between the main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12.

[0239] Next, the bottom surface portion 40, the front surface portion 13, and the rear surface portion 14 are connected to the main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12 (skeleton assembly 10A) (see FIG. 5). The main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12 are fixed (connected), welded, or adhered to the bottom surface portion 40 by bolts and nuts, welding, or an adhesive. Further, the sub-frame 12 (for example, the first engaging portions 125B and 126B) is welded to the front surface portion 13 and the rear surface portion 14 by welding. Also, the bottom surface portion 40, the front surface portion 13, and the rear surface portion 14 are fixed (connected), welded, or adhered by bolts and nuts, welding, or an adhesive. Thereby, the frame structure 10 is assembled.

[0240] Next, the process of attaching the attachment member 50 to the frame structure 10 will be described (see FIGS. 3, 5, 13 to 17). First, the attachment support member 50D is attached to the frame structure 10 inside the frame structure 10 in the state shown in FIG. 5 (see FIG. 3. However, in this embodiment, the side surface portions 22 and 23 are not attached at this stage).

[0241] Next, the attachment member 50 is inserted into the frame structure 10 in the state shown in FIG. 5. The direction in which the attachment member 50 is inserted into the frame structure 10 (the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, or the Z-axis direction) is not particularly limited. However, in this embodiment, the attachment member 50 is inserted from the X-axis direction (the front surface portion 13 or the rear surface portion 14).

[0242] Next, an attachment member 50 having an electric device 54, an internal wiring 53, and a relay connector 50B is attached to the framework 10 via an attachment support member 50D (see FIGS. 3 and 15 to 19). The attachment support member 50D and the attachment member 50 are fixed, for example, at four locations by a fixture 50C as described above. Thereby, the attachment member 50 is attached via the attachment support member 50D attached to the framework structure 10.

[0243] Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the user checks whether a part (a pair of hooks 503C) of the fixture 50C is visible when viewed from the second hole 521A. As shown in FIG. 18, when a part (a pair of hooks 503C) of the fixture 50C is visible when viewed from the second hole 521A, it is determined that the attachment member 50 is attached to the attachment support member 50D (framework structure 10).

[0244] Next, a cylindrical portion 90A is attached to a plurality of wiring holes 133, and an external wiring 90 is connected to the relay connector 50B via the cylindrical portion 90A.

[0245] Next, a process of assembling a plate portion 20 and a door portion 30 to the framework structure 10 to which the attachment member 50 is attached will be described (see FIGS. 1 to 4). First, as described above, the first side surface portion 22 and the second side surface portion 23 are connected to the framework structure 10 by a first connecting member T.

[0246] Next, the upper surface portion 21 is connected to the framework structure 10 to which the first side surface portion 22 and the second side surface portion 23 are attached by bolts B and nuts N as described above.

[0247] Next, the door portion 30 is attached to the front surface portion 13 and the rear surface portion 14. Thereby, the plate portion 20 and the door portion 30 are assembled to the framework structure 10, and the housing device 1 is assembled (see FIG. 1).

[0248] As described above, it becomes possible to attach the attachment member 50 to the framework structure 10 before connecting the plate portion 20 to the framework structure 10. For this reason, when attaching the attachment member 50 to the framework structure 10, it becomes possible for an operator (user) to reach in from the Y-axis direction to support the attachment member 50 and perform alignment for connection. As a result, even if the attachment member 50 is heavy, the attachment work can be performed while being supported by multiple people, so that the efficiency of the attachment work of the attachment member 50 can be improved.

[0249] Since the main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12 are connected by the third connecting member 60, it becomes possible to reduce the welding process. Thereby, the main frame body 11 and the sub-frame 12 can be easily fixed.

[0250] Since the first main frames 11A, 11B and the second main frames 11C, 11D, 11E are connected by the second connecting member 70, it becomes possible to reduce the welding process. Thereby, the first main frames 11A, 11B and the second main frames 11C, 11D, 11E can be easily fixed.

[0251] Furthermore, the framework 10 and the plate portion 20 are fixed by rivets. Thereby, since it becomes possible to reduce the welding work, the framework 10 and the plate portion 20 can be easily fixed. Also, the first main frames 11A, 11B and the second main frames 11C, 11D, 11E are similarly fixed by rivets. Thereby, since it becomes possible to reduce the fastening work by bolts and nuts or welding, the framework 10 and the plate portion 20 can be easily fixed.

[0252] When attaching the attachment member 50 to the attachment support member 50D (skeleton 10), it is possible to determine whether the attachment member 50 is securely attached to the attachment support member 50D (skeleton 10) by checking whether the pair of hooks 503C can be seen through the second hole 521A, which can be easily confirmed by the operator. Also, since the attachment member 50 is attached to the attachment support member 50D (skeleton 10) by the fixing tool 50C (panel fastener), the attachment member 50 can be easily attached to the attachment support member 50D (skeleton 10) without using bolts and nuts.

[0253] Since the skeleton 10 and the plate portion 20 are connected by the bolt B and the first connecting member T, it is possible to reduce the welding process. Thereby, the skeleton 10 and the plate portion 20 can be easily fixed. Also, a caulking material may be applied between the skeleton 10 and the plate portion 20, for example, by a caulking gun. In this case, it is applied to the portion where the skeleton 10 and the plate portion 20 are in contact. Thereby, the airtightness can be enhanced. Of course, it is not limited to a caulking gun, and a tape-like material that can be adhered may be used.

[0254] Also, the attachment member 50 has a relay connector 50B for supplying the power output from an external power source to each of the plurality of electric devices 54A, 54B, 54C. Thereby, it is not necessary to wire the external wiring 90 to each of the electric devices 54A, 54B, 54C, and it is only necessary to connect the external wiring 90 to the relay connector 50B, so that the working efficiency for the wiring can be improved.

[0255] Furthermore, since the attachment member 50 having the electric devices 54A, 54B, 54C with the internal wirings 53A, 53B arranged therein is attached to the skeleton 10, it is not necessary to perform the work of attaching the electric devices 54A, 54B, 54C within the skeleton 10. That is, since it is possible to attach the electric devices 54 and the internal wirings 53A, 53B to the support member 50A in advance and then attach it to the skeleton 10, the operator can efficiently perform the work of attaching the electric devices 54A, 54B, 54C.

[0256] In addition, as described above, since the mounting member 50 is composed of the column frame 51 and the support frame 52, the degree of freedom in arranging the electric equipment 54 can be increased. For example, a plate parallel to the XZ plane can be attached between the third frame 523B and the fourth frame 524B, and a plurality of second electric equipment 54C can be arranged side by side on both sides of the plate. That is, since the mounting member 50 has a three-dimensional structure, a three-dimensional arrangement of the electric equipment 54 can be achieved, and more electric equipment 54 can be accommodated.

[0257] In addition, as described above, since the mounting member 50 is composed of the column frame 51 and the support frame 52, a plurality of electric equipment 54 with different sizes can be easily arranged (see Fig. 13).

[0258] Since the mounting member 50 is formed of an aluminum frame, weight reduction and cost reduction can be achieved as compared with the case of processing and painting using sheet metal.

[0259] In addition, since the elastic member 80 is provided on the door portion 30 side and is a single piece, the attachment work of the elastic member 80 can be facilitated. Further, since the bulging portion 82 of the elastic member 80 is brought into contact with the flange portion 131B, the door portion 30 can be easily closed (for example, as compared with the case where a gasket is provided on the front surface portion 13 side and the door bending portion 32A is pressed against the gasket).

[0260] In addition, since the housing device 1 can maintain the strength of the box with the above-described framework structure 10, the thickness of the plate portion 20 can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

[0261] In addition, as described above, since the main frame body 11 and the plurality of sub-frames 12A to 12J are engaged by the engaging mechanism, when assembled as the framework structure 10, rattling around the Z axis can be suppressed (deformation into a shape like a parallelogram can be suppressed).

[0262] Furthermore, as described above, since the front portion 13 and the rear portion 14 are engaged with the plurality of sub-frames 12A to 12J by the engaging mechanism, when assembled as the framework structure 10, rattling around the Z-axis can be further suppressed (suppressing deformation into a shape like a parallelogram).

[0263] That is, the framework structure 10 (framework 10A) can be easily positioned and fixed around the Z-axis and the Y-axis by simply engaging the recesses of the plurality of sub-frames 12A to 12J with the main frame body 11 and engaging the engaging portions of the main frame body 11 with the recesses of the front portion 13 and the rear portion 14.

[0264] Also, the first engaging portion 125F of the sub-frame 12F engages with a first recess 1300B having a plurality of second opposing surfaces 1301B facing in the Z-axis direction provided on the plurality of second front bending surfaces 130C. Thereby, the positioning of the first engaging portion 125F and the front portion 13 around the Y-axis can be achieved. The same applies not only to the sub-frame 12F but also to the sub-frame 12G.

[0265] <Second Embodiment> Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 19 is a perspective view of the housing device 1' in the second embodiment with the door portion 30 and the upper surface portion 21 removed and a plurality of side surface portions 22, 23 removed. FIG. 20 is a perspective view of the main frame 11' in the second embodiment. FIG. 21 is a view of the first curtain rail portion 51R in the second embodiment, where (A) is a cross-sectional view of the first curtain rail portion 51R and (B) is a perspective view of the first curtain rail portion 51R. FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the support member 50A' and the first curtain rail portion 51R in the second embodiment. Hereinafter, the configurations different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same configurations as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions will be omitted or simplified.

[0266] The housing device 1' of this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a curtain rail portion 50R is attached to the main frame body 11'. The attachment member 50 includes a curtain rail portion 50R that extends along the Y-axis direction, is provided in parallel with each other, and is fixed to the main frame body 11' by a fixture B0, a first bolt B1 that is provided on the curtain rail portion 50R and is movable in the Y-axis direction, and a first nut N1 that fits with the first bolt B1.

[0267] Further, the main frame body 11' has rail connection holes 115C', 116C', 115D', 116D', 115E', 116E' through which the fixture B0 passes (see FIG. 22).

[0268] In this embodiment, the curtain rail portion 50R is provided between the second main frames 11C' and 11D' of the main frame body 11'. The curtain rail portion 50R has two rails in this embodiment, a first curtain rail portion 51R and a second curtain rail portion 52R. The first curtain rail portion 51R extends along the Y-axis direction, and one end in the Y-axis direction is connected to the second main frame 11D', and the other end in the Y-axis direction is connected to the second main frame 11C'. The second curtain rail portion 52R extends along the Y-axis direction, and one end in the Y-axis direction is connected to the second main frame 11D', and the other end in the Y-axis direction is connected to the second main frame 11C', and faces the first curtain rail portion 51R in the Z-axis direction.

[0269] Here, the fixing method of the curtain rail portion 50R to the main frame 11 will be described using the first curtain rail portion 51R and the second main frame 11D'.

[0270] As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21(A), one end (the negative direction side of the Y-axis) of the first curtain rail portion 51R is fixed to the second main frame 11D' via a fixture B0. The fixture 50C' is a bolt and nut (not shown) in this embodiment, but of course, it is not limited to this, and it may be a rivet.

[0271] The second main frame 11D' has a rail connection hole 115D through which the fixture B0 penetrates. Also, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 21(A), the other end (the positive Y-axis side) of the first curtain rail portion 51R is similarly fixed to the second main frame 11C' via the fixture B0. The second main frame 11C' has a rail connection hole 115C' through which the fixture B0 penetrates. The rail connection holes 115C' and 115D' are provided in a straight line in the Y-axis direction.

[0272] That is, the first curtain rail portion 51R is fixed to the second main frames 11C' and 11D' by the fixture B0 penetrating the first curtain rail portion 51R and the rail connection holes 115C' and 115D'.

[0273] The second curtain rail portion 52R is fixed to the main frame 11 in the same manner as the first curtain rail portion 51R.

[0274] Next, the fixing method of the curtain rail portion 50R and the support member 50A' will be described. The first curtain rail portion 51R has a first groove portion 501R in which the first bolt B1 is movable on the positive X-axis side (the front portion 13 or the support member 50A'). The second curtain rail portion 52R has a second groove portion 502R in which the second bolt B2 is movable on the positive X-axis side (the front portion 13 or the support member 50A').

[0275] The first groove portion 501R and the second groove portion 502R extend along the Y-axis direction and are provided at positions overlapping fastening holes 501A' and 502A' described later when viewed from the X-axis direction. The head of the first bolt B1 is slidably provided in the first groove portion 501R in the Y-axis direction. The head of the second bolt B2 is slidably provided in the second groove portion 502R in the Y-axis direction.

[0276] Further, the support member 50A' has a surface parallel to the Y-axis direction and is a rectangular support plate (plate-like) for supporting the electric device 54, and has a plurality of fastening holes 501A' at four rectangular corners. As shown in FIG. 21, the plurality of fastening holes 501A' are provided at positions overlapping the above-described first groove portion 501R and second groove portion 502R when viewed from the X-axis direction.

[0277] The first bolts B1 and B2 can be slid so as to be inserted into the plurality of fastening holes 501A', and the support member 50A' can be fixed using the first bolts B1 and B2 and the first nuts N1 and N2.

[0278] As described above, since the first bolts B1 and B2 are configured to be movable (slidable), it is not necessary to improve the accuracy of the interval between the plurality of fastening holes 501A' as compared with the case where the arrangement positions of the bolts are fixed. Therefore, the working efficiency when fixing the support member 50A' (mounting member) to the main frame 11' can be improved.

[0279] Also, in the present embodiment, the first bolts B1 and B2 penetrate and fix the plurality of fastening holes 501A', but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the plurality of fastening holes 501A' may be notch portions cut in the Y-axis direction. Thereby, the working efficiency at the time of fixing can be further improved.

[0280] Also, in the present embodiment, the support member 50A' which is a support plate has been described, but of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the support member 50A (see FIG. 15) may be used.

[0281] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the curtain rail portion 50R is provided between the second main frames 11C' and 11D', but the present invention is not limited to this, and the curtain rail portion 50R may be provided between the second main frames 11D' and 11E'.

[0282] For example, the method of fixing the plate-shaped support member 50A' to the framework 10 may be the method using the panel fastener 50C described above in addition to the fixing by the curtain rail portion 50R. That is, similar to the support member 50A, the support member 50A' may be formed with a first hole portion to which the panel fastener 50C is attached and a second hole portion for confirming that the panel fastener 50C is sufficiently attached.

[0283] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been explained. However, the present invention is not limited to only the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made, and the configurations of each embodiment and modification example may be combined. For example, in the present embodiment, the housing device 1 installed under the floor of the railway vehicle has been described. However, for example, it may be provided in a railway vehicle on-board device, an indoor / outdoor switchboard, a distribution box, an equipment room, or the like.
