Description

Technical Field

[0005] , , , , , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a cabinet for an incoming panel.

Background Art

[0002] In apartment houses such as condominiums, an incoming panel is installed at the position where the power line is drawn from the power grid to supply power to each household. The incoming panel is provided with a watt-hour meter and a circuit breaker for each branch of the power line that supplies power to each household. The distribution equipment such as the watt-hour meter and the circuit breaker of the incoming panel is often housed in a cabinet for the incoming panel and installed on the site.

[0003] The cabinet for the incoming panel includes a box-shaped cabinet base body with an open front side where a watt-hour meter, a circuit breaker, etc. are installed inside, and an opening / closing door that closes the opening of the cabinet base body in an openable / closable manner. The opening / closing door is locked when the opening of the cabinet base body is closed, and access to the inside is restricted to specific persons. In addition, at the position corresponding to each watt-hour meter in the cabinet base body (the front position of each watt-hour meter) of the opening / closing door, a confirmation window for visually recognizing the meter of the watt-hour meter is formed. Further, a light-transmissive plate member such as a glass plate is attached to each confirmation window of the opening / closing door.

[0004] However, in the case of this cabinet for the incoming panel, the same number of confirmation windows as the number of watt-hour meters must be formed in the opening / closing door, and a light-transmissive plate member must be individually attached to each confirmation window. Therefore, in this cabinet for the incoming panel, the structure of the opening / closing door becomes complicated, and the assembly man-hours of parts increase during manufacturing.

[0005] As a countermeasure against this, a cabinet for an incoming panel has been proposed in which a large continuous opening is formed in the region straddling a plurality of watt-hour meters of the opening / closing door, and a single light-transmissive plate member is attached to the opening (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Patent Documents

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7100443 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] The conventional service entrance panel cabinet described above has a structure that allows multiple electricity meters to be viewed from the outside through a series of openings, which simplifies the structure of the opening and closing door and reduces the number of assembly steps required during manufacturing. However, in the conventional service entrance cabinet described above, a continuous opening is formed in the opening door that spans the front of multiple electricity meters. As a result, there is a concern that the wires surrounding each electricity meter will be exposed to ultraviolet rays (sunlight) through the opening, causing them to deteriorate. In addition, in the case of the conventional service entrance cabinet described above, the wires and other auxiliary equipment surrounding each electricity meter are visible from the outside through the opening, which tends to detract from the external appearance.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a service entrance cabinet that simplifies the structure of the opening and closing door and reduces the number of assembly steps for the parts, while preventing deterioration of the wires surrounding the electricity meter due to ultraviolet rays, and suppressing the deterioration of appearance caused by the peripheral equipment around the electricity meter being visible from the outside. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems, the service entrance cabinet according to the present invention employs the following configuration. In other words, the power supply cabinet according to the present invention comprises: a cabinet base that houses a plurality of electricity meters for displaying the cumulative power consumption of each unit in an apartment building; an opening / closing door that is attached to the front side of the cabinet base and has an inspection window that opens over an area spanning the front of the plurality of electricity meters; a light-transmitting plate member attached to the inspection window; and a light-shielding film attached to the area of ​​the light-transmitting plate member that, in a front view of the opening / closing door, is the area surrounding each of the electricity meters.A plurality of stud bolts are provided on the peripheral edge of the back side of the inspection window of the opening / closing door to guide the outer peripheral end surface of the light-transmitting plate member that is superimposed on the peripheral edge of the inspection window from the back side, and a support fitting is superimposed on the outer peripheral edge of the light-transmitting plate member to press down on the outer peripheral edge from the back side, and the support fitting is fixed to the opening / closing door together with the light-transmitting plate member by fixing nuts that are tightened into each of the stud bolts, and a bent wall is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the support fitting that is approximately the same height as the thickness of the light-transmitting plate member, and the bent wall is in contact with the opening / closing door on the outside of the light-transmitting plate member. It is characterized by the following:

[0010] With the above configuration, the fronts of the multiple electricity meters housed inside the cabinet base can be viewed from the outside through a light-transmitting plate member attached to the inspection window of the opening / closing door. Since the inspection window is formed continuously across the front of multiple electricity meters, there is no need to individually install multiple light-transmitting plate members to correspond to each electricity meter. This simplifies the structure of the opening and closing door and reduces the assembly time required for the parts to be attached to the opening and closing door. Furthermore, since a light-shielding film is attached to the area of ​​the light-transmitting plate member that surrounds each electricity meter when viewed from the front, the wiring arranged around each electricity meter is less likely to be directly exposed to ultraviolet rays (sunlight) from the outside. In addition, the wires and other auxiliary equipment arranged around each electricity meter are hidden by the light-shielding film, making the auxiliary equipment less visible from the outside. Multiple stud bolts are provided protruding from the peripheral edge on the back side of the inspection window of the opening / closing door, guiding the outer peripheral end surface of the light-transmitting plate member that is superimposed on the peripheral edge of the inspection window from the back side. A support fitting is superimposed on the outer peripheral edge of the light-transmitting plate member to press down on the outer peripheral edge from the back side, and the support fitting is fixed to the opening / closing door together with the light-transmitting plate member by fixing nuts that are tightened onto each of the stud bolts. In this configuration of the service entrance cabinet, when attaching a light-transmitting plate member to the inspection window of the opening / closing door, the light-transmitting plate member is first inserted and positioned inside the multiple stud bolts from the back side of the opening / closing door. At this time, the outer peripheral end face of the light-transmitting plate member is guided by the stud bolts, so that the light-transmitting plate member is properly aligned with the outer peripheral edge on the back side of the inspection window. Next, the support brackets are placed on the outer edge of the light-transmitting plate member from the back side, and the fixing nuts are tightened onto each stud bolt to secure the support brackets to the opening and closing door together with the light-transmitting plate member. As a result, the light-transmitting plate member can be easily and accurately attached to the correct position on the back side of the inspection window. Furthermore, once the light-transmitting plate member is attached to the back side of the inspection window in this manner, the outer edge of the light-transmitting plate member is reinforced with high rigidity by the support bracket. Since the light-transmitting plate member is attached to the periphery of an inspection window with a large opening area that spans the front of multiple electricity meters, the overall rigidity and strength tend to decrease. However, in this configuration, the outer edge on the back side of the light-transmitting plate member can be efficiently reinforced with a highly rigid support bracket, so that the overall rigidity and strength of the light-transmitting plate member can be maintained at a sufficiently high level. A bent wall is provided on the outer edge of the support bracket, having a height approximately equal to the thickness of the light-transmitting plate member. In this case, when the support bracket is fixed to the opening / closing door together with the light-transmitting plate member by tightening the fixing nut on the stud bolt, the bent wall of the support bracket will come into contact with the back surface of the opening / closing door on the outside of the light-transmitting plate member. As a result, it is possible to prevent the support bracket from being pressed against the light-transmitting plate member with excessive force when the fixing nut is tightened, and the bent wall can prevent foreign matter from entering the peripheral edge of the light-transmitting plate member.

[0011] The light-shielding film may be partially or entirely peelable from the light-transmitting plate member.

[0012] In this case, even if the number of electricity meters installed or the arrangement of electricity meters within the cabinet base is changed, the light-shielding film can be removed as needed, and a new light-shielding film can be attached to the light-transmitting plate member as required. Therefore, adopting this configuration allows for flexible adaptation to changes in the internal design of the cabinet base. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] The cabinet for an incoming panel according to the present invention has a confirmation window provided in a region straddling the front surfaces of a plurality of electricity meters of an opening / closing door, and a light-transmissive plate member is attached to the confirmation window, so that the structure of the opening / closing door can be simplified and the number of man-hours for assembling parts can also be reduced. Further, in the cabinet for an incoming panel according to the present invention, a light-shielding film is attached to a region of the light-transmissive plate member that becomes the peripheral area of each electricity meter when viewed from the front of the opening / closing door. For this reason, it is possible to prevent deterioration of electric wires arranged around the electricity meter due to ultraviolet rays, and to suppress a decrease in appearance due to the attached devices around the electricity meter being visible from the outside.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In addition, at appropriate positions in the drawings, an arrow UP indicating vertically above the incoming panel cabinet 1 and an arrow FR indicating in front of the incoming panel cabinet 1 are marked. Further, in the description of the present embodiment, left and right shall mean left and right when the incoming panel cabinet 1 is viewed from the front.

[0020] Figure 1 is a front view of the service entrance cabinet 1, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the service entrance cabinet 1. The service entrance cabinet 1 is mounted on the wall of an apartment building and comprises a rectangular cabinet body 10 in which distribution equipment is housed, a pair of auxiliary fittings 11 attached to the bottom surface of the cabinet body 10 to support the cabinet body 10 on the installation surface 2 (for example, the floor or road surface), and a shielding panel 12 that covers the outside of the wiring space below the cabinet body 10.

[0021] The cabinet body 10 houses multiple electricity meters 13, which are distribution equipment, as well as circuit breakers, routers (not shown), distribution wiring, signal wiring, etc. The multiple electricity meters 13, circuit breakers, routers, etc. are mounted on circuit boards 14a, 14b, and 14c and arranged inside the cabinet body 10.

[0022] The cabinet body 10 includes a cabinet base 16 on its front side to which multiple opening and closing doors 15a, 15b, and 15c are attached in an openable and closable manner. The cabinet base 16 has a shape that is, for example, approximately square in front view, with a depth dimension smaller than the width and height in front view. In this embodiment, the left opening and closing door 15a is openable and closable with the left end of the cabinet base 16 as the hinge center. The central opening and closing door 15b and the right opening and closing door 15c are openable and closable to the left and right in a double-door manner. Each opening and closing door 15a, 15b, and 15c can be locked when the front of the cabinet base 16 is closed.

[0023] Multiple electricity meters 13 are located behind the left-side opening door 15a inside the cabinet base 16. Each electricity meter 13 is equipped with a meter display unit 13a on its front side that displays the cumulative power (power consumption) of each unit in the apartment building. In this embodiment, the multiple electricity meters 13 are arranged in multiple rows and columns (for example, five rows vertically and two columns horizontally) on the base 14a behind the left-side opening door 15a. The multiple electricity meters 13 are arranged with a certain distance between them in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0024] Figure 3 is a front view of the left side opening door 15a of the cabinet body 10. Figure 4 is a view of the left side opening door 15a from the rear side. The opening / closing door 15a has a continuous inspection window 17 that spans the front surface (meter display section 13a) of all the electricity meters 13. In this embodiment, the inspection window 17 is formed in a vertically elongated rectangular shape that spans the meter display section 13a of all the electricity meters 13 and the peripheral area of ​​each meter display section 13a. The inspection window 17 is closed by a single vertically elongated rectangular glass plate 18. The glass plate 18 is attached to the outer edge of the inspection window 17 from the back side. In this embodiment, the glass plate 18 constitutes the light-transmitting plate member. Although a glass plate 18 is used as the light-transmitting plate member in this embodiment, the light-transmitting plate member is not limited to a glass plate 18. The light-transmitting plate member may be a plate-shaped member made of, for example, a transparent resin material.

[0025] A light-shielding film 19 is attached to the glass plate 18 in the area surrounding the meter display section 13a of each electricity meter 13 when viewed from the front of the opening / closing door 15a. Note that the light-shielding film 19 is omitted in Figure 2 for illustrative purposes. The light-shielding film 19 can be formed from, for example, a sheet material consisting entirely of a light-shielding colored surface, a sheet material with a light-shielding dot pattern, or a sheet material with a light-shielding design or pattern. In this case, the sheet material can be attached to the back side of the glass plate 18, for example, with an adhesive or glue. The sheet material is made of a material and shape that allows part or all of it to be peeled off as needed. The sheet material may be provided with easily breakable sections (for example, with fine through-holes arranged in a line) to facilitate peeling at a desired position. Furthermore, the light-shielding film 19 may be made of, for example, black ceramic, and may be a printed layer directly printed on the surface of the glass plate 18. In this case as well, it is desirable that the light-shielding film 19, which consists of a printed layer, be partially or entirely peelable as needed.

[0026] The glass plate 18 has its outer edge overlapping the outer edge on the back side of the inspection window 17 of the opening / closing door 15a, and in this state, the outer edge is held down by multiple support fittings 20A and 20B to fix it to the opening / closing door 15a. The top and bottom edges of the glass plate 18 are held down by support fittings 20A, and the left and right side edges of the glass plate 18 are held down by support fittings 20B. The support fittings 20A and 20B are formed in a long rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The support fittings 20A that hold down the top and bottom edges of the glass plate 18 are shorter in the longitudinal direction than the support fittings 20B that hold down the left and right side edges of the glass plate 18.

[0027] Figure 5 is a rear view of the opening / closing door 15 before the support brackets 20A and 20B are installed. Figure 6 is a perspective view of the upper corner of the opening / closing door 15 from the rear side before the support brackets 20A and 20B are installed. Figure 7 is a perspective view of the upper corner of the opening / closing door 15 from the rear side after the support brackets 20A and 20B are installed. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, multiple stud bolts 21 are provided protruding from the peripheral edge on the back side of the inspection window 17 (see Figure 1) of the opening / closing door 15a. In this embodiment, three stud bolts 21 are provided at equal intervals along the upper and lower edges of the inspection window 17, respectively. Additionally, seven stud bolts 21 are provided at equal intervals along the left and right sides of the inspection window 17, respectively. The multiple stud bolts 21 protruding from the back side of the opening / closing door 15a allow for the insertion of the glass plate 18 into the inner region of their shafts. A straight line connecting the inner sides of the shafts of the stud bolts 21 on the upper side of the inspection window 17, a straight line connecting the inner sides of the shafts of the stud bolts 21 on the lower side, and a straight line connecting the inner sides of the shafts of the stud bolts 21 on each of the left and right sides of the inspection window 17 form a vertically elongated rectangular virtual frame. This rectangular virtual frame formed by the stud bolts 21 is slightly larger than the outer circumference of the glass plate 18.

[0028] When the glass plate 18 is attached to the back side of the opening / closing door 15a, as shown in Figure 6, its outer peripheral end surface 18e is guided by the shafts of the multiple stud bolts 21. Specifically, when the glass plate 18 is placed on the outer peripheral edge of the inspection window 17 of the opening / closing door 15a from the back side, the outer peripheral end surface 18e slides against the outer peripheral surfaces of the shafts of the multiple stud bolts 21, thereby guiding it to a predetermined position on the back side of the outer peripheral edge of the inspection window 17 in a stable position.

[0029] Thus, as shown in Figure 7, support brackets 20A and 20B are superimposed from the back side onto the outer edge of the glass plate 18, which is superimposed onto the outer edge of the inspection window 17 on the back side of the opening / closing door 15a. As shown in Figure 7, the support brackets 20A and 20B comprise base portions 20Aa and 20Ba that are superimposed on the outer peripheral edge on the back side of the glass plate 18, and bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb provided on the sides of the base portions 20Aa and 20Ba in the short direction. When the base portions 20Aa and 20Ba are superimposed on the back side of the glass plate 18, the bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb are in contact with or close to the outer peripheral end surface 18e of the glass plate 18. The height of the protrusion of the bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb from the base portions 20Aa and 20Ba is set to be approximately the same as the thickness of the glass plate 18. Furthermore, an elastic sealing member (not shown) is interposed between the outer edge of the inspection window 17 of the opening / closing door 15a and the outer edge of the glass plate 18.

[0030] Furthermore, the base plates 20Aa and 20Ba of each support bracket 20A and 20B have through holes 22 through which the shafts of the stud bolts 21 protruding from the opening / closing door 15a can be inserted. Each of the through holes 22 is formed at a position corresponding to the shaft of the stud bolt 21, and when the base plates 20Aa and 20Ba of the support brackets 20A and 20B are placed on the outer peripheral edge on the back side of the glass plate 18, the corresponding shafts of the stud bolts 21 are inserted into each of the through holes 22.

[0031] As described above, after the base portions 20Aa and 20Ba of each support bracket 20A and 20B are placed on the outer peripheral edge of the back side of the glass plate 18, a fixing nut 23 is tightened onto the tip of the shaft portion of each stud bolt 21, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 7. Once the fixing nuts 23 are tightened, the outer peripheral edge of the glass plate 18 is fixed to the opening / closing door 15a together with the support brackets 20A and 20B.

[0032] <Effects of the Embodiment> In this embodiment, the service entrance cabinet 1 has a continuous inspection window 17 formed in the area spanning the front of multiple electricity meters 13 (meter display section 13a) of the opening / closing door 15a, and a glass plate 18 (light-transmitting plate member) is attached to the inspection window 17. Therefore, compared to the case where an individual inspection window is provided on the opening / closing door 15a for each electricity meter 13, the structure of the opening / closing door 15a can be simplified, and the assembly man-hours for the parts (glass plate) can be reduced. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the service entrance cabinet 1 has a light-shielding film 19 attached to the area of ​​the glass plate 18 (light-transmitting plate member) that is in the vicinity of each electricity meter 13 when viewed from the front of the opening / closing door 15a. As a result, the light-shielding film 19 can block ultraviolet rays (sunlight) from directly hitting the wires arranged around each electricity meter 13, and the light-shielding film 19 can also cover and conceal the wires and other auxiliary equipment around each electricity meter 13. Therefore, by adopting the service entrance cabinet 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to simplify the structure of the opening and closing door 15a and reduce the number of man-hours required to assemble the parts, while preventing deterioration of the electric wires arranged around the electricity meter 13 due to ultraviolet rays, and suppressing the deterioration of appearance caused by the auxiliary equipment around the electricity meter 13 being visible from the outside.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the service entrance cabinet 1 is designed so that part or all of the light-shielding film 19 can be peeled off from the glass plate 18 (light-transmitting plate member). Therefore, even if the number of electricity meters 13 installed is changed or the arrangement of electricity meters 13 within the cabinet base 16 is changed, the light-shielding film 19 can be peeled off as appropriate, and a new light-shielding film 19 can be attached to the glass plate 18 as needed. Therefore, adopting this configuration allows for flexible adaptation to changes in the internal design of the cabinet base 16.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cabinet 1 for the service entrance panel has multiple stud bolts 21 protruding from the peripheral edge on the back side of the inspection window 17 of the opening / closing door 15a, and the support brackets 20A and 20B are placed on the outer peripheral edge of the glass plate 18 with the glass plate 18 guided by the shafts of the stud bolts 21. In this state, fixing nuts 23 are tightened onto each stud bolt 21, thereby fixing the support brackets 20A and 20B to the opening / closing door 15a together with the glass plate 18. Therefore, when attaching the glass plate 18 to the opening / closing door 15a, the glass plate 18 can be easily and accurately attached to the correct position on the back side of the inspection window 17 thanks to the guiding function of the multiple stud bolts 21.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the service entrance cabinet 1 has a large, continuous inspection window 17 formed in the opening door 15a that spans the front of multiple electricity meters 13, and a large single glass plate 18 is attached to the inspection window 17. As a result, the glass plate 18, which is fixed to the outer edge of the inspection window 17, tends to have reduced overall rigidity and strength. However, in this embodiment, support brackets 20A and 20B are placed on the outer edge of the glass plate 18 from the back side, and the support brackets 20A and 20B are fixed to the opening door 15a by tightening with fixing nuts 23, sandwiching the outer edge of the glass plate 18. As a result, when this configuration is adopted, the outer edge of the glass plate 18 is sufficiently reinforced by the support brackets 20A and 20B, and the overall rigidity and strength of the glass plate 18 can be increased.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the service entrance cabinet 1 has bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb extending from the outer edges of the support brackets 20A and 20B, which are approximately the same height as the thickness of the glass plate 18. Therefore, when the support brackets 20A and 20B are fixed to the opening / closing door 15a together with the glass plate 18 by tightening the fixing nuts 23 to the stud bolts 21, the bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb of the support brackets 20A and 20B come into contact with the back surface of the opening / closing door 15a on the outside of the glass plate 18. Therefore, by adopting this configuration, it is possible to suppress the support brackets 20A and 20B from being pressed against the glass plate 18 with excessive force by tightening the fixing nuts 23, and the bent walls 20Ab and 20Bb can prevent foreign matter from entering the outer edge of the glass plate 18.

[0037] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various design modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the inspection window 17 is formed on the opening / closing door 15a so as to span the front of multiple electricity meters 13 arranged in multiple rows and columns. However, the inspection window may also be formed on the opening / closing door so as to span the front of multiple electricity meters arranged in a single horizontal row. Alternatively, the inspection window may be formed on the opening / closing door so as to span the front of multiple electricity meters arranged in a single vertical row. Furthermore, there may be two or more inspection windows formed on a single opening / closing door. In any case, it is sufficient that a light-shielding film is attached to at least one light-transmitting plate member attached to the inspection window in a region that corresponds to the area around each electricity meter when viewed from the front of the opening / closing door. Furthermore, the number of doors on which the inspection window is formed is not limited to one. If multiple electricity meters are arranged to face multiple doors, the inspection window may be formed on multiple doors. [Explanation of symbols]
