Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage box for electrical and electronic equipment. [Background technology]

[0002] A known structure is called an outside handle, in which the handle is located outside the drainage section of the housing when the door is closed. The outside handle structure allows for more use of the door surface. On the other hand, as described in Patent Document 1, a double-fold structure may be used in which the front edge of the door is bent backward and then further bent inward to prevent water from entering the drainage section. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-103498

[0004] Incidentally, when using a rod that locks and unlocks the door in conjunction with the operation of the handle, the inwardly bent piece in the structure described in Patent Document 1 prevents the rod from being installed. If the inwardly bent piece is omitted and the door end only has a piece that bends rearward from the front, it becomes possible to install the rod, but it is difficult to prevent water from entering the rod, and the rod equipped with a drain is prone to deterioration due to water intrusion.

[0011] An embodiment of the invention is described below. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, an electrical / electronic device storage box 1 of this embodiment includes a housing 11 having a draining portion 11b rising from an edge portion 11a, a door 12 attached to the housing 11, a rod 13 attached to the door 12 so as to be located outside the draining portion 11b of the housing 11 in a front view when the door 12 is closed, and a handle 14 for operating the rod 13. The door 12 also includes a front portion 12a that is located in front of the door 12 when closed, and an extension portion 12b that extends rearward from the end of the front portion 12a. Furthermore, a partition member 50 formed separately from the extension portion 12b is attached to the door 12 or the housing 11, and when the door 12 is closed, a partition portion 51 of the partition member 50 is located between the edge portion 11a and the rod 13. The rod 13 is attached to the door 12 with the partition member 50 removed from the door 12 or the housing 11. After the rod 13 is attached to the door 12, the partition member 50 is attached to the door 12 or the housing 11. This facilitates assembly of the rod 13, and the extension portion 12b and the partition portion 51 prevent water from entering the rod 13, making it possible to provide a configuration that makes it easy to protect the rod 13 from water. Furthermore, the partition member 50 prevents water from entering the vicinity of the water drain portion 11b, ensuring higher waterproofing of the housing 11. Furthermore, if a gasket 81 is interposed between the water drain portion 11b and the door 12 when the door 12 is closed, deterioration of the gasket 81 can be suppressed. Furthermore, water can be prevented from entering the mechanism behind the handle 14, thereby suppressing deterioration of the mechanism.

[0012] Here, an outline of an electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1 of the embodiment will be described. The electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1 of the embodiment is for storing electrical and electronic equipment and is placed on the floor. This electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1 includes a housing 11 having an opening 11c through which the electrical and electronic equipment can be put in and taken out, and a door 12 provided to cover the opening 11c of the housing 11.

[0013] The electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1 of the embodiment is provided with a drainage portion 11b around the opening 11c of the housing 11. The drainage portion 11b has a door-facing surface 11ba that is adjacent to the door 12 when the door 12 is closed, and a protrusion 11bb that extends so that the door-facing surface 11ba can be adjacent to the door 12 when the door 12 is closed. In the embodiment, the door-facing surface 11ba and the protrusion 11bb are continuous to form a substantially L-shaped cross section.

[0014] The protrusion 11bb is a portion that extends in the front-rear direction so that the door-facing surface 11ba can be positioned closer to the door 12 than the edge portion 11a. The door-facing surface 11ba is a surface that expands in the same direction as the door 12 when the door 12 is closed, and is a portion that can sandwich the packing 81 together with the door 12. In the embodiment, the packing 81 is fixed to the door 12, but it may also be fixed to the drain portion 11b.

[0015] In this embodiment, the protrusion 11bb is located at a position slightly closer to the center of the outer shape of the housing 11 when viewed from the front. The door 12 is also configured to be larger in the vertical and horizontal directions than the protrusion 11bb. Therefore, when viewed from the front, there is a portion outside the protrusion 11bb that is covered by the door 12 from the front when the door 12 is closed. In this embodiment, the left-right length of the housing 11 is longer than the left-right length of the door 12, and this portion is part of the edge 11a. In the electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1 of this embodiment, a rod 13 is arranged between this portion and the door 12.

[0016] The door 12 has an extension 12b extending rearward from the end of a front portion 12a, which is the front portion when the door 12 is closed. The extension 12b can protect the rod 13 when the door 12 is closed, but there is a gap extending in the vertical direction between the extension 12b and the housing 11. In order to prevent deterioration of the rod 13 due to water seeping in through this gap, in this embodiment, a partition member 50 is attached. This partition member 50 is provided as a separate structure from the housing 11 and the door 12 so that it can be attached to or detached from the housing 11 or the door 12.

[0017] 2 to 4, the partition member 50 is attached to the door 12. The attachment is performed by tightening the fixing bolts 61, so the partition member 50 can be removed from the door 12 by loosening and removing the fixing bolts 61 (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

[0018] 6, partition member 50 has a crank-shaped portion in cross section, and the crank-shaped portion in cross section has attachment portion 52, which serves as an attachment point. Although attachment portion 52 is prone to receiving force, the crank-shaped portion has increased strength, making it easier to withstand force applied during attachment, etc.

[0019] In the example shown in FIG. 7, multiple crank-shaped portions are provided. The distance between adjacent crank-shaped portions is also set to be long. Therefore, even after the partition member 50 is attached, the movement of the rod 13 can be confirmed from locations other than the crank-shaped portions. If priority is given to protecting the rod 13, the distance between adjacent crank-shaped portions may be set to be short. Alternatively, only one crank-shaped portion having approximately the same length as the partition member 51 may be provided.

[0020] 3 to 6, the partition member 50 is attached using a fixing portion 62 and a fixing bolt 61 provided on the door 12. Attaching the partition member 50 to the door 12 makes it easier to adjust the distance between the extension portion 12b and the partition member 50. Also, if the partition member 50 is configured to be attached to a fixing portion 62 formed on the back side of the door 12, it becomes possible to prevent the appearance of the housing 11 from being damaged when the door 12 is opened. In this example, the fixing portion 62 is a nut welded and fixed to the back side of the front portion 12a of the door 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing portions 62 are provided at intervals in the vertical direction, and the partition member 50 can be arranged from near the upper end to near the lower end of the door 12 (see FIG. 7). This allows the rod 13 to be protected over a wide range.

[0022] 3, it is preferable that the partition portion 51, front portion 12a, and extension portion 12b of the partition member 50 form a substantially U-shaped cross section, and that the rod 13 is disposed inside this section. In this case, if the distance between the partition portion 51 and the extension portion 12b is short and the distance between the partition portion 51 and the edge portion 11a is short when the door 12 is closed, it becomes easier to prevent water from entering the gap between the door 12 and the housing 11.

[0023] By arranging the partition member 51 adjacent to the housing 11 when the door 12 is closed, water is less likely to seep into the electrical and electronic equipment storage box 1, but to make it more difficult for water to seep in through the gap between the partition member 50 and the housing 11, the gap between the partition member 50 and the housing 11 can be filled with a packing. For example, a packing 91 can be attached to the partition member 50 so that the packing 91 comes into contact with both the housing 11 and the partition member 50 when the door 12 is closed (see FIG. 8).

[0024] It is preferable that the packing 91 slightly protrudes from the partition member 50 and abuts against the end of the extension portion 12b. In this way, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the extension portion 12b and the partition member 50.

[0025] The partition portion 51 of the partition member 50 may be arranged adjacent to the rod 13 (see FIG. 9). In this way, the partition portion 51 can be used as a guide for the rod 13 that moves up and down.

[0026] Incidentally, the partition member 50 may be attached to the housing 11. In this case, it is preferable to arrange the partition portion 51 so that, when the door 12 is closed, the partition portion 51 of the partition member 50, the front portion 12a, and the extension portion 12b form a section that has a substantially U-shaped cross section (see FIG. 10).

[0027] Although the present invention has been described above using the embodiments as examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be embodied in various forms. For example, the partitions may be rod-shaped rather than plate-shaped. [Explanation of symbols]
