Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rack mount type electronic equipment storage box in which a unit is mounted on a mount unit mounted inside a box body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional rack mount type electronic device storage box has a structure in which electronic devices are mounted from the front opening side. However, when the number of storage devices increases, there is no choice but to deepen the depth of the box main body, which increases the amount of protrusion from the wall surface to increase the occupied area, and there is a problem that it obstructs passage. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the depth of the box body by increasing the number of mount units and arranging them side by side, but there is a problem that it becomes difficult to perform wiring work and maintenance work for electronic devices attached to the mount unit. there were.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, can accommodate a large number of devices even if the amount of protrusion from the wall surface is small, and facilitates wiring work to electronic devices and maintenance work. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rack mount type electronic device storage box that can be used for other purposes.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention made to achieve the above object is to provide a front door and side doors on the front surface and both side surfaces of a rectangular parallelepiped box body, and to provide a side surface side of the box body. It is characterized in that a plurality of U-shaped mount units to which a larger number of units can be attached are provided.
It should be noted that it is possible to adopt a structure in which U-shaped mount units capable of arranging a large number of units are attached near the left and right side doors inside the box body, respectively. Further, it is possible to adopt a structure in which a light shielding plate is attached to the outer surfaces of the front door and the side door excluding the respective side end portions.

The rack mount type electronic device storage box of the present invention is provided with a plurality of U-shaped mount units to which a large number of units can be attached from the side of the box body, so that the box body can have a small depth. Multiple units can be attached. Further, since the mount unit is divided and provided near the left and right side doors inside the box body, the depth of the box body can be reduced. Further, by opening the side door, wiring work and maintenance work to the units mounted on the mount units can be easily performed. Further, by adopting a structure in which the light-shielding plate is attached to the outer surfaces of the front door and the side doors excluding the respective side end portions, it is possible to prevent the internal temperature rise even when installed outdoors. Moreover, the door is less likely to hit the rear wall than when the light shield plate is attached to the entire door, and the opening angle can be increased to improve the maintainability from the side surface.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a box-shaped box body, and a top plate 3, a back plate 4, and a bottom plate 5 are attached to a frame 2. A front door 6 is attached to the front surface thereof by a hinge 7 so as to be openable and closable, and side doors 8 and 8 are attached to the left and right sides by hinges 9, respectively. Since the back surface of the box body 1 is usually placed in close contact with the wall surface, the side doors 8, 8 are open at the front side. Thus, the door is usually attached by the hinges 7 and 9, but the door can be screwed in some cases.

U-shaped mount units 10 are attached to the left and right positions inside the box body 1. Each mount unit 10 includes a unit 11 as shown in FIG.
A large number of can be installed in parallel. However, only one unit 11 is shown in FIG. Each mount unit 1
0 is arranged near the left and right side doors 8, 8. In this embodiment, each mount unit 10 includes a back plate 4
It is supported by rack rails 12 provided above and below.

The unit 11 mounted on the U-shaped mount unit 10 is, for example, a hub for constructing a network in which a large number of connecting portions for connecting cables are formed on the back surface, and the upper and lower receiving members 13, 13 are on the front side. The rear surface having the connecting portion is arranged laterally with respect to the mount unit 10 which is projected toward the side. By arranging in this way, when the front door 6 is opened, the back surface of the unit 11 is exposed to the outside, and the connection and maintenance of the cable can be easily performed. Further, since the unit 11 attached to the mount unit 10 is arranged in the vicinity of the side door 8, it is possible to easily attach / detach the unit 11 and perform wiring by opening the side door 8.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the box body 1
Mount units 10 are mounted in two layers inside and inside. In this embodiment, only the front door 6 and one side door 8 are opened, and a side plate 15 is provided on the opposite side surface of the side door 8. Also in this embodiment, a large number of units 11 can be attached even if the depth of the box body 1 is small. Further, if the side plate 15 is a door as in the above embodiment and the mount units 10 are arranged in the vicinity thereof, a total of four mount units 10 are provided. There is no need to increase the depth of.

When such a rack mount type electronic equipment storage box is to be installed outdoors, as shown in FIG.
It is preferable that the light shielding plates 14 be attached to the side doors 8 on both the left and right sides to prevent the internal temperature from rising due to direct sunlight.
Although the attachment of the light shielding plate 14 itself has been conventionally performed, it is usual that the light shielding plate having a hole only in the handle portion is attached to the entire surface of the door. However, in this embodiment, the width of the light-shielding plate 14 is narrower than that of the conventional one, and the light-shielding plate 14 is attached to the outer surfaces of the front door 6 and the side door 8 excluding the respective side end portions as shown in FIGS. .

Therefore, the light-shielding effect of the light-shielding plate 14 is the same as that of the front door 6.
And it does not reach each side end of the side door 8. However, as is clear from FIG. 5, since only the vertical columns of the frame 2 are present in these portions, even if the box body 1 is exposed to direct sunlight.
There is no direct impact on the inside of the.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the side door 8 is opened, the light shielding plate 14 of the side door 8 contacts the wall surface. However, since the light shielding plate 14 is not provided at the end of the side door 8, the side door 8 is closed. A large opening angle of 8 can be taken. That is, when the light-shielding plate is provided up to the end of the side door 8 as in the conventional case, it is necessary to set the dimension A in FIG. The opening width was narrow.
On the other hand, if the light shielding plate 14 is attached only to the outer surface of the side door 8 excluding the respective side end portions as in this embodiment, the A dimension is a.
Since it can be smaller than + b, there is an advantage that maintenance is easy. In order to enhance this effect, the light shield plate 1
It is preferable that the end portion of No. 4 is formed in an arc shape as shown in the drawing or is inclined.

Although the mount unit 10 is attached only to the back plate 4 in the above embodiment, it is also possible to attach the auxiliary mount unit 10 to the front door 6.

[0014]

As described above, the rack mount type electronic device storage box of the present invention is provided with a plurality of U-shaped mount units to which a large number of units can be attached from the side of the box body. Therefore, even if the depth of the box body is small, many units can be attached. Further, since the mount unit is divided into the left and right parts, the amount of protrusion of the box body from the wall surface can be reduced even when the number of storage devices increases. Further, since the mount units are arranged near the left and right side doors, there is an advantage that wiring work to electronic devices and maintenance work can be easily performed by opening the side doors.
