Description

  The present invention relates to a wiring box embedded in a concrete wall or sprayed heat insulating material.

  For example, a wiring box embedded in a concrete wall is attached to a rebar with a box cover (paint cover) attached in advance to the opening side before being embedded in a concrete wall (for example, , See Patent Document 1). The box cover of Patent Document 1 has a rectangular frame shape, and an opening is formed at the center, and a coating wall is formed around the opening. Then, by attaching the box cover to the wiring box, a coating wall is provided on the opening side of the wiring box, the opening peripheral edge side of the wiring box is closed and coating is provided, and wiring is performed from the inside of the coating wall. A part of the internal space of the box is opened.

  In addition, before the concrete is placed, for the wiring box attached to the rebar, the cable for connecting the wiring device is drawn into the wiring box from the through hole formed in the side wall of the wiring box. The cable is inserted into a conduit connected to the through hole, and the conduit is connected to the wiring box through a conduit connecting tool connected to the wiring box using the through hole. The conduit connector includes a screw portion at one end of a cylindrical main body and a lock nut that can be screwed into the screw portion. The conduit connector is connected to the wiring box by inserting the screw portion into the through hole of the wiring box and screwing the lock nut into the screw portion in the wiring box.

  When building a concrete wall in a state where the wiring box is supported by the rebar, the concrete is prevented from entering the wiring box by bringing the inner surface of the formwork into contact with the opening end of the paint wall. . Also, the cable is protected by the conduit. After removing the formwork, the inner space of the wiring box opens from the inside of the paint wall to the outside of the concrete wall, and the cable in the wiring box is pulled out from the paint wall and the wiring device is connected to the cable. A wiring device is attached to the wiring box.

Is accommodated in the bulging portion 20 and is located on the outer side of the outer surface of the second side portion 15b.

  Next, a method for embedding the wiring box 11 in the concrete wall will be described. First, the various through holes 12a of the wiring box 11 are closed with a toro-proof tape, and an internal space S that is all sealed except for the coating wall 15 is formed in the wiring box 11. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the bar material 22 is inserted into the insertion holes 21 a of both the bar material insertion portions 21, and both side portions in the length direction of the bar material 22 are protruded from the outer surfaces of both the second side walls 14. Next, the both side portions of the bar member 22 are bound and fixed to the stake rebar 24 of the concrete wall by the bind wire 25 or the like. Then, the wiring box 11 is supported with respect to the rebar rebar 24.

  Next, both knock portions 13b of the upper first side wall 13 are removed from the first side wall 13 to open the through holes 13a. Next, the lock nut 33 is disposed in the inner space S of the wiring box 11 through the inside of the coating wall 15, and the end surface of the lock nut 33 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the first side wall 13. Then, while maintaining the state in which the end face of the lock nut 33 is in contact with the inner surface of the first side wall 13 with one hand, the screw part 31a of the connector body 31 is inserted into the through hole 13a with the other hand and the lock nut 33 is inserted. Thereafter, the connector main body 31 is rotated while preventing the lock nut 33 from rotating, and the screw portion 31 a is screwed into the lock nut 33. When the contact portion 31 b contacts the outer surface of the first side wall 13, the first side wall 13 is sandwiched between the contact portion 31 b and the lock nut 33 and the conduit connector 30 is coupled to the first side wall 13.

  Thereafter, the conduit D is connected to the conduit connector 30 and a cable (not shown) is inserted into the conduit D, and the cable has an extra length in the internal space S of the wiring box 11. Be contained. When constructing a concrete wall, a mold is erected before and after the wiring box 11, and an opening end of the coating wall 15 is brought into contact with an inner surface of the front mold. When concrete is placed, the periphery of the coating wall 15 (painting) is buried in the concrete, and the cable is protected by the conduit D. After the formwork is removed, the inner space S of the wiring box 11 opens from the inside of the coating wall 15 toward the outside of the concrete wall, and the cable in the wiring box 11 is drawn from the coating wall 15 to the cable. (Not shown) is connected, and a wiring device is attached to the wiring box 11. Finally, the opening of the coating wall 15 is closed by a decorative plate (not shown).

According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Although the opening of the wiring box 11 is narrowed by the coating wall 15, the inner space S of the wiring box 11 is formed on the inner surface of the second side 15 b of the coating wall 15 by forming the bulging portion 20. It is spread outward. For this reason, the operation | work which makes the lock nut 33 contact | abut to the 1st side wall 13 inner surface using the large internal space S in the wiring box 11 can be performed easily. Further, the inner surface of the first side wall 13 in the wiring box 11 and the inner surface of the first side portion 15a of the coating wall 15 are located on the same plane, and the inner surface of the first side wall 13 is not in a position recessed from the inner surface of the coating wall 15. . For this reason, the operation | work which screws together the lock nut 33 and the screw part 31a can be performed easily, maintaining the state which the lock nut 33 contact | abutted. Therefore, even if the opening of the wiring box 11 is narrowed by the coating wall 15, the workability of the operation of connecting the conduit connector 30 to the wiring box 11 can be improved. As a result, since the work of removing the box cover from the wiring box 11 is not required in order to improve the workability of connecting the conduit connector 30 to the wiring box 11, the box cover is connected after the conduit connector 30 is connected. There is no need to re-install the box cover, and there is no possibility of forgetting to attach the box cover.

  (2) The coating wall 15 is integrally formed in the wiring box 11. For this reason, since the coating wall 15 is provided in the wiring box 11, it is not necessary to attach the box cover provided with the coating wall to the wiring box 11, and the labor for mounting the box cover can be saved.

  (3) By forming the bulging portion 20 in the wiring box 11, the side portion of the first side wall 13 extends outward from the inner surface of the second side portion 15 b of the coating wall 15. Therefore, even if the opening is narrowed by the coating wall 15, it is possible to connect the first side wall 13 in a state where the two conduit fittings 30 are arranged in parallel.

  (4) Inside the bulging portion 20, a part in the radial direction of the screw portion 31 a of the conduit connector 30 connected to the first side wall 13 can be accommodated. Therefore, by forming the bulging portion 20, the conduit connector 30 can be connected to a position near the second side wall 14, and contact between the conduit connectors 30 can be eliminated. As a result, the connecting tool body 31 can be smoothly rotated when the lock nut 33 and the screw portion 31a are screwed together.

  (5) A connecting portion for connecting the conduit connector 30 to the first side wall 13 is a through hole 13 a penetrating the first side wall 13. For this reason, the screw part 31a of the conduit connector 30 can be disposed in the bulging part 20 through the through hole 13a. Therefore, a plurality of conduit fittings 30 can be connected in parallel to the first side wall 13 using the bulging portion 20 by using the connecting portion as the through hole 13a.

  (6) The through hole 13a is closed by the knock portion 13b, and the knock portion 13b is removed when the conduit connector 30 is coupled. Therefore, when the wiring box 11 is embedded in the concrete wall, the knock portion 13b can prevent the concrete from entering the wiring box 11.

  (7) Although the opening of the wiring box 11 is narrowed by the coating wall 15, the inner space S of the wiring box 11 is formed on the inner surface of the second side portion 15 b of the coating wall 15 by forming the bulging portion 20. It spreads outward. For this reason, compared with the case where the whole opening of the wiring box in which the coating wall 15 is not formed is closed with the decorative plate, the decorative plate can be made smaller by using the wiring box 11 of the present embodiment, and the first Two conduits D can be connected to one side wall 13 via two conduit connectors 30.

  (8) The bulging portion 20 is formed so as to extend in the direction in which the second side wall 14 extends between the first side walls 13, that is, over the entire length direction of the second side wall 14. Therefore, the internal space S of the wiring box 11 can be made wider than the inside of the coating wall 15, and for example, the extra length of the cable drawn into the wiring box 11 can be lengthened.

In addition, you may change this embodiment as follows.
The bulging portion 20 may be formed only on the second side wall 14 side of either one of the second side walls 14.

  The conduit connector 30 does not have to be connected to the first side wall 13 by screwing the screw portion 31a and the lock nut 33, and a locking claw formed at one end of the connector main body 31 is provided on the inner surface of the first side wall 13. And the conduit connector 30 may be coupled to the first side wall 13.

-You may change the number and the diameter of the through-hole 13a according to the number of the conduit connector 30 connected with the 1st side wall 13, and the magnitude | size of the conduit connector 30. FIG.
In the embodiment, the coating wall 15 is formed such that the first side 15 a extends in parallel along the first side wall 13 and the second side 15 b extends in parallel along the second side wall 14. However, the first side 15 a may be slightly inclined with respect to the first side wall 13, or the second side 15 b may be slightly inclined with respect to the second side wall 14.

  In the embodiment, the first side portion 15a and the first side wall 13 are formed with the same thickness, but the lock nut 33 and the screw portion 31a are screwed together while maintaining the state in which the lock nut 33 is in contact. If the work can be easily performed, the first side 15a and the first side wall 13 may be formed with different thicknesses.

-The wiring box 11 may be embedded in the sprayed heat insulating material.
In the embodiment, the through holes 13 a are formed in both the first side walls 13, but the through holes 13 a may be formed only in one of the first side walls 13.
