Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a surface structure of a casing of a traffic signal device, and more particularly to a casing structure of a traffic signal device suitable for preventing sticking of a paper sheet such as an advertisement on the surface of the casing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, an uneven surface is formed on the surface of an object or a road surface. Most of these are made for the purpose of preventing danger in addition to the purpose of improving the added value of the object by forming a design-like appearance beauty and softening the mind of the observer by aesthetics. These have been adopted in equipment and buildings in various industrial fields, but there are no conventional traffic signal equipment casings with irregularities.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 There is no problem with traffic signal devices that are installed at relatively high places, but in the case of traffic signal devices that are installed within the reach of humans, a piece of advertising paper is attached to the surface of the housing. It is often done. Of course, in the case of traffic signal equipment, a plate that is prohibited to be attached is provided on the surface of the housing, but there are many inadvertent people who ignore this plate and attach advertising materials. FIG. 7 shows a general structure of a traffic signal control device 9 for centralized control installed below a concrete column 8 and a sticker sheet 10, 11, 12 for advertisement attached to this. Once these pasting papers 10 and the like are pasted, it is not easy to peel them off, it takes a lot of time and labor, and after peeling, it is difficult to see and the appearance is spoiled. On the other hand, various means are conceivable as means for preventing the sticking of these pasting papers, but it is relatively easy to do, and it is difficult for the general public to stick them, and a sticking preventive means that does not spoil the aesthetic appearance is provided on the housing. It is necessary to provide.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has an aesthetic appearance without impairing the original function of the traffic signal device, and it is difficult for the general public to attach an advertisement product. An object is to provide a housing structure.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a housing for a traffic signal device in which a large number of protrusions projecting outward are provided on the front surface side of a housing that houses each device of the traffic signal device. It constitutes the body structure. More specifically, the protrusion is formed integrally with the housing, and the surface of the protrusion is coated with silicon or silicon-based paint, and the protrusion has an area of 3 to 60 [mm ² ]. And a height of 1 to 3 [mm].

[0006]

[Action]

 It is considered by the general public that by forming a large number of protrusions, the adhesive paper is usually in contact only with the tips of the protrusions, so that the attachment is incomplete and the adhesion becomes difficult. Therefore, it is almost impossible to attach the advertising material to the traffic signal device having the protrusion. Also, by coating the surface of the protrusion with silicon or a silicone-based paint, it becomes difficult to attach the adhesive paper, and the attachment of the advertising material is completely lost. On the other hand, since the protrusion is formed integrally with the housing, it can be manufactured at a low cost regardless of special cost for manufacturing. In addition, it is possible to form protrusions in an appropriate size or to create an aesthetic appearance in consideration of the arrangement.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial sectional view showing only the protrusion of FIG. FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial sectional view of a protrusion having a silicon film formed on the surface thereof, FIG. 5 is a front view showing an embodiment of the arrangement of the protrusions, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing variously formed protrusions.

FIG. 1 shows a case of a traffic signal device to which the present embodiment is applied, and specifically shows a case 1 of a traffic signal controller 9 for centralized control fixed to a concrete pillar (not shown). . The casing 1 houses various devices inside, and includes a main body case 2 and an opening / closing lid 3 provided on the front side. It should be noted that the casing 1 is connected with a covered pipe 4 of an electric wire connected to the power source side and an electric wire 5 connected to a communication device or the like.

A projecting portion 6 is formed on the entire surface of the main body case 2 except the upper and lower surfaces and almost the entire surface of the opening / closing lid 3. Although FIG. 1 shows the protrusions 6 in an extreme shape, the protrusions are formed on the main body case 2 and the opening / closing lid 3 in a predetermined arrangement and pitch as shown in the figure. The protrusion 6 is integrally formed when the main body case 2 and the opening / closing lid are pressed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, the protrusion 6 of this embodiment is formed by forming a corrugated portion on the main body case 2 and the opening / closing lid 3. Of course, the projection 6 may be formed by locally projecting the corrugation.

FIG. 5 shows some examples of the arrangement of the protrusions 6. FIG. 5A shows the case where the protrusions 6 are arranged in a zigzag pattern, and shows an arrangement of high design aesthetics. FIG. 5B shows the simplest arrangement in which the protrusions 6 in each row are arranged at the same position, and molding can be performed relatively easily. In FIG. 5C, the space between the vertically adjacent protrusions changes, and it has a certain aesthetic appearance. The arrangement of the protrusions 6 is not limited to the above embodiment, and an appropriate arrangement is applied.

FIG. 6 shows some examples of the sectional shape of the protrusion 6. However, the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. FIG. 6A shows a triangular small protrusion 6a. FIG. 6B shows a rectangular protrusion 6b. 6C shows a trapezoidal protrusion 6c, and FIG. 6D shows a semicircular protrusion 6d.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a silicon layer 7 is formed on the surface of the housing on which the protrusions 6 are formed so as to cover the protrusions 6. Of course, the silicon layer 7 may be formed not only on the surface of the protrusion 6 but also on the surface of the housing itself where the protrusion 6 is not formed. The silicon layer 7 is formed by applying a silicon liquid or a paint containing silicon. As is well known, silicon has a non-sticking property and is poor in coatability, but it can be coated on the surface of a housing. Moreover, since silicon has high chemical resistance, it is difficult to bond it onto the silicon layer 7 with an existing adhesive. Therefore, it is possible to attach a sticker for advertisement on the surface of the housing to which the silicon layer 7 is applied. In particular, no sticking paper or the like can be attached to the surface coated with the protrusions 6 and the silicon layer 7. This makes it possible to complete the prevention of sticking. Moreover, since the silicone layer 7 has water resistance, it will not be affected by rainwater etc. even if it is applied to outdoor traffic signal equipment.

Although the centralized control traffic signal controller 9 has been described as a traffic signal device in the above description, the present invention is not limited to this. Also, the protrusions 6 are formed on the surface of the housing except the upper and lower surfaces, but this is because, in general traffic signal equipment, the adhesive paper is not attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the housing. The protrusion 6 may be formed on the entire surface of the housing including the lower surface. Further, in the above description, the protrusions 6 are all arranged in the same shape, but the shape, size, etc. may be changed. Furthermore, the height of the protrusion may be irregularly changed.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the following remarkable effects are obtained. 1) By adopting a structure in which a large number of protrusions are formed on the surface of the housing, sticking of the advertising matter can be reliably prevented. 2) Since the protrusion is formed integrally with the housing, the manufacturing cost is not particularly high. 3) Appearance can be improved by devising the shape, number, and arrangement of the protrusions. 4) By forming a silicon layer on the protrusions, it is possible to improve the effect of preventing the sticking of more perfect sticking paper.
