  The lock mechanism 30 includes a receiver 40 having a bearing hole 41. A flange 45 of the receiver 40 is fastened to the lid 20 via two bolts 31.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a sealing agent 34 is provided between the flange 45 and the lid 20 so as to seal between the two. The sealing agent 34 is applied in an annular shape around the mounting hole 23 of the lid 20.

  The display plate 32 is fastened to the flange 45 of the receiver 40 via four screws 33. The display plate 32 displays the opening / closing position of the handle 50.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 50 is provided with a flange 51 fixed to the outside of the receiving metal 40. The flange 51 has a protrusion 52, and the protrusion 52 points to the display plate 32.

  The L-shaped handle 50 includes a handle handle portion 53 provided on the outside of the lid 20, a handle shaft portion 54 that is rotatably supported by the receiving metal 40, and a locking claw support in which a locking claw 60 is fitted. A shaft portion 55 and a screw portion 56 to which the nut 35 is screwed are provided.

  The nut 35 abuts against the end surface of the locking claw support shaft portion 55 via the spring washer 36 to prevent the locking claw 60 from coming off.

  The locking claw support shaft portion 55 has a quadrangular cross section, and the locking claw 60 having the same rectangular hole is fitted, whereby the rotation of the locking claw 60 is locked. As a result, the locking claw 60 rotates together with the handle 50.

  A stopper 19 is fixed to the outer periphery of the receiving metal 40, and a notch 67 that engages with the stopper 19 is formed in the locking claw 60. When both ends of the notch 67 of the locking claw 60 abuts against the stopper 19, the rotation range of the handle 50 is restricted to 90 °, and the handle 50 stops at the closed position and the open position. The locking claw 60 is engaged with the receiving portion 24 of the storage box 10 by turning the handle 50 to the closed position, and is detached from the receiving portion 24 of the storage box 10 by turning the handle 50 to the open position.

  A plain washer 61, a spring washer 62, and a plain washer 63 are interposed between the latching claw 60 and the end face of the catch 40. The locking claw 60 is pressed against the nut 35 by the urging force of the spring washer 62.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a bearing bush 46 is interposed over the bearing hole 44 of the flange 45 and the bearing hole 41 of the receiver 40, and a bearing bush 47 is interposed in the bearing hole 41 of the receiver 40 of the flange 45. The handle shaft portion 54 is rotatably supported by the bearing bushes 46 and 47.

  An O-ring 39 is interposed between the bearing hole 41 and the handle 50, and the two are sealed through the O-ring 39.

  An annular groove 48 is formed in the middle of the bearing hole 41 of the receiving metal 40, and an O-ring 39 is received in the annular groove 48. In a state in which the handle shaft portion 54 is inserted into the bearing hole 41, the O-ring 39 is compressed between the handle shaft portion 54 and the annular groove 48, and is in close contact with both without any gap.

  The O-ring 39 is interposed side by side so as to be sandwiched between the bearing bushes 46 and 47, and is arranged at the center of the bearing hole 41.

  As described above, the railroad equipment storage device 1 is configured, and the locking claw 60 pulls the lid 20 toward the storage box 10 as the handle 50 rotates, and the edge of the lid 20 is pressed against the packing 13 for inspection. The space between the opening 11 for use and the lid 20 is sealed.

  By the way, when the railway vehicle enters and exits the tunnel, a pressure difference is generated between the space inside the storage box 10 and the lid 20 and the outside. Therefore, if there is a gap between the handle 50 and the bearing hole 41 through which this passes, There was a possibility that water could enter the storage box 10 through the gap.

  In the present invention, the O-ring 39 is interposed between the bearing hole 41 and the handle 50 and the O-ring 39 is sealed between the two through the bearing hole 41. Intrusion of water into the storage box 10 is prevented, and the equipment stored in the storage box 10 can be protected.

  An annular groove 48 is formed in the middle of the bearing hole 41 of the receiving metal 40, and an O-ring 39 is interposed in the annular groove 48, so that the compression amount of the O-ring 39 can be properly managed. The portion 54 and the annular groove 48 are closely adhered to each other without gaps, and the sealing performance of the bearing hole 41 can be improved.

  Since the O-ring 39 is arranged in the center of the bearing hole 41 along with the bearing bushes 46 and 47, the compression amount of the O-ring 39 is made uniform in the circumferential direction, and the sealing performance of the receiving hole 41 is improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is obvious that various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.

  The railway vehicle equipment storage device of the present invention is provided outside the railway vehicle body and can be used to store a controller and other equipment.
