Description

  The present invention relates to an electric equipment storage box including a main body formed by sheet metal processing and a door that covers an opening of the main body.

  Conventionally, an electric equipment storage box in which a door is detachably attached to a main body with a screw is known. For example, a conventional electric equipment storage box 51 shown in FIG. 6 includes a sheet metal main body 52 formed in a square box shape, and a sheet metal door 54 covering an opening 53 of the main body 52, and the door 54 has four corners. And is fastened to the screw hole 56 of the main body 52 by a screw 55. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which a screw holding member is provided on a door so that screws are not separated in an electric equipment storage box having substantially the same structure as in FIG.

JP 2004-103938 A

However, the conventional electrical equipment storage box 51 has the following problems.
(A) Since the frame frame 58 protrudes from the front surface of the main body 52 via the inner overhanging portion 57 and the opening 53 is formed inside the frame frame 58, the number of man-hours is increased in processing the sheet metal of the main body 52.
(B) It takes time to loosen and tighten the four screws 55 and to open and close the door 54.
(C) Since the door 54 is made of sheet metal, the mass increases, and when the door 54 is closed, the internal device cannot be visually inspected.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an electric equipment storage box that can perform sheet metal processing with a small number of man-hours, can open and close a door with a single touch, and can see through internal equipment.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following electrical equipment storage box.
(1) A main body formed into a square box shape by sheet metal processing and a door that covers the opening of the main body, and the front end of the left side plate and the right side plate of the main body is bent inside the opening, and the door is on the back side. From the front side of the main body and the front end of the bottom plate is bent inside the opening to form a presser that holds the door from the front side. The door is placed in the gap between the support and the presser Electrical equipment storage box characterized by being detachably inserted.

(2) The electric equipment storage box according to (1) above, wherein the pressing portion of the upper surface plate is bent so as to protrude inside the opening with a larger dimension than the pressing portion of the lower surface plate.

(3) The electrical equipment storage box according to (1) or (2), wherein the door is formed of a flat plate made of a transparent resin.

(4) The above (1), (2) or (3), wherein the door is slidably inserted in the gap between the support portion and the presser portion, and a finger hook portion is formed on a part of the door. Electrical equipment storage box.

(5) The electricity described in (1), (2), (3) or (4) above, wherein an inclined rib is provided on the inner surface of the upper surface plate to engage with the upper end of the door slid upward. Equipment storage box.

  According to the electrical equipment storage box of the present invention, the main body can be processed into a sheet metal easily and inexpensively with a small number of man-hours for bending the support portion and the presser portion. By inserting the door into the gap between the support portion and the presser portion, the door can be attached to and detached from the main body without using a screw. Further, by forming the door with a transparent flat plate, there is an effect that the mass of the storage box is reduced, the internal device can be visually inspected, and the size change can be easily handled.

It is a perspective view of the electric equipment storage box which shows one Embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the door closing form of the storage box of FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the door opening / closing procedure of the storage box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the electric equipment storage box which shows another embodiment of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the storage box of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the conventional electric equipment storage box.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrical equipment storage box 1 of this embodiment includes a main body 2 formed into a square box shape by sheet metal processing, and a door 4 that covers the opening 3 of the main body 2. Used as a terminal box in equipment. The main body 2 includes an upper plate 5, a lower plate 6, a left side plate 7, a right side plate 8 and a back plate 9. The door 4 is formed in a rectangular shape by a flat plate made of a transparent resin such as acrylic, and includes a finger-holding hole 10 at a lower center portion.

  The left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 of the main body 12 are bent at the front end portion inside the opening 3 to form support portions 11 and 12 that support the door 4 from the back side. The upper surface plate 5 and the lower surface plate 6 of the main body 2 are bent at the front end portion inside the opening portion 3 to form presser portions 13 and 14 for pressing the door 4 from the surface side. The presser portions 13 and 14 are located outside the main body 2 relative to the support portions 11 and 12, and an upper gap 15 is provided above the opening 3 between the support portions 11 and 12 and the presser portions 13 and 14. A lower gap 16 is provided below the opening 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end of the door 4 is inserted into the upper gap 15, and the lower end of the door 4 is inserted into the lower gap 16. The upper presser portion 13 is bent so as to protrude to the inside of the opening portion 3 with a larger dimension (H1> H2) than the lower presser portion 14. The door 4 is supported so as to be slidable up and down by the support portions 11 and 12 and the presser portions 13 and 14 in a state in which the opening 3 is closed, and the lower end of the door 4 is moved forward and backward of the presser portion 14 at the upper slide end. The upper end of the door 4 can be restrained by the presser 13 at the lower slide end.

Therefore, according to the electrical equipment storage box 1 of this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(A) Since the door 4 is supported by the support parts 11 and 12 and the holding parts 13 and 14, the main body 2 can be formed into a sheet metal easily and inexpensively with a small number of man-hours for bending these four places.
(B) Since the upper and lower ends of the door 4 are inserted into the gaps 15 and 16, the door 4 can be easily attached to the main body 2 by a one-touch operation by simply putting a finger into the finger-holding hole 10 and moving up and down without using screws. Can be attached and removed.
(C) Since the door 4 is formed of a transparent resin plate, the entire storage box 1 can be reduced in weight, and the operation state of the electrical equipment stored in the main body 2 and the display of the instruments can be easily confirmed visually from the outside.
(D) Since the resin plate is a flat plate, it is necessary to cut a commercially available standard product and make the door 4 according to the size, and it is necessary to prepare several types of molds for each size like a conventional sheet metal door. Absent.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be carried out by appropriately changing the shape or configuration of each part of the electrical equipment storage box without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the electrical equipment storage box 21 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a pair of left and right inclined ribs 22 are cut and formed on the inner surface of the corner portion of the upper surface plate 5 and the pressing portion 13 of the main body 2. When the door 4 is slid upward, the upper end of the door 4 engages with the inclined rib 22, the lower end of the door 4 automatically protrudes forward, and the door 4 can be easily removed from the main body 2. It is like that.
