Description

  The present invention relates to an electrical equipment storage box in which electrical equipment is stored.

  Conventionally, electrical equipment storage boxes have been used to store various electrical equipment. In order to enhance the decorativeness of such an electric equipment storage box, an attachment member such as a decorative panel is fixed to the surface of the casing. Although the panel is also attached to the electric equipment storage box as described in Patent Document 1, a flat attachment member is attached to the flat fixed surface. When such an attachment member is attached using an engagement claw, the engagement claw is formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to both the attachment member main body and the fixed surface.

  By the way, the fixed surface to which the mounting member is attached may be formed such that the angle formed by the portion forming the fixed surface differs depending on the location, in addition to the flat surface. If it is going to respond | correspond with this shape using a flat attachment member, since a panel must be attached for every surface from which an angle differs, it is necessary to increase a number of parts. As a means for suppressing the increase in the number of parts, it is conceivable to attach the integral attachment member by elastically deforming it along the fixed surface. However, deforming the mounting member along the fixed surface has a problem in workability. Moreover, if it attaches in this way, the conspicuous clearance gap will arise in a part between a fixed surface and an attachment member, and there existed a possibility that an external appearance might be impaired.

  The object of the present invention is to suppress the increase in the number of parts and improve the workability of attachment even when the angle formed by the surface forming the fixing surface to which the attachment member is attached is different depending on the location. An electrical equipment storage box that can be made relatively good.

  In order to solve the above problems, the following means are adopted. The first means is an electric equipment storage box comprising a fixed surface provided on the housing at different angles and a mounting member attached to the fixed surface, the mounting member corresponding to the fixed surface The electrical equipment is formed with different angles, each of which is provided with an engaging portion that engages with the fixed surface, and the engaging portions extend in the same direction. A storage box.

  In the first means, the second means in which the attachment member is formed in a frame shape is preferable.

  The second means is preferably third means in which the engaging portion is formed on each of the opposing sides of the mounting member.

  In the first to third means, an engaged portion that engages with the engaging portion is provided, and a guide portion that guides the engaging portion is formed around the engaged portion. Four means are preferred.

  According to the first means, the mounting member can be easily mounted from one direction even if it is an electric equipment storage box in which the mounting member is mounted on a fixed surface provided in the housing at different angles.

It is a perspective view of the electric equipment storage box of this embodiment. It is the perspective view which showed the state before attaching an attachment member to a fixed surface. It is the side view which showed the state before attaching an attachment member to a fixed surface. It is sectional drawing which showed the state which attached the attachment member to the fixed surface. It is the figure showing the engaging part periphery at the time of attaching an attachment member to a fixed surface. It is the elements on larger scale around an engaged part.

The form for implementing this invention is shown below.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric equipment storage box 1 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state before the attachment member 5 is attached to the fixed surface 7.
FIG. 3 is a side view showing a state before the attachment member 5 is attached to the fixed surface 7.
The broken line represents the direction in which the engaging portion 51 provided in the attachment member 5 extends and the positional relationship between the engaging portion 51 and the engaged portion 31.

  In the present embodiment, electric device storage box 1 is used in a vehicle charging device. As understood from the matters shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a substantially U-shaped attachment member 5 is attached as a frame-shaped decorative panel to the upper part of the electric device storage box 1. The U-shaped attachment member 5 is attached to a fixed surface 7 formed on the housing 3.

  The fixing surface 7 formed on the housing 3 is formed so as to have a curved portion, and is provided at different angles. In the present embodiment, a portion 7a formed in a U shape on the same surface and a portion 7b formed so as to extend beyond both ends of the portion 7a are connected and formed so as to spread at different angles. ing. The fixed surface 7 functions as an installation surface on which the attachment member 5 is installed.

  An attachment member 5 is attached to the fixed surface 7 formed on the housing 3. The attachment member 5 is formed at different angles corresponding to the fixed surface 7. That is, the attachment member 5 has a shape along the fixed surface 7, and the fixed surface 7 can be covered with the attachment member 5. The attachment member 5 in the present embodiment is a frame-shaped decorative panel, a part 5a formed in a U-shape on the same surface corresponding to the part 7a, and ahead of both ends of the part 5a corresponding to the part 7b. The part 5b formed so as to extend is connected and formed so as to spread at different angles. Since the attachment member 5 is formed in a frame shape, the visibility of each engagement portion 51 is enhanced, and the attachment work of the attachment member 5 can be performed relatively smoothly.

  The attachment member 5 is provided with a plurality of engaging portions 51 that can be engaged with the engaged portion 31 formed on the fixed surface 7. Engaging portions 51 that engage with the fixed surface 7 are provided at locations where the angles of the attachment members 5 are different. As can be understood from the matter shown in FIG. 3, the engaging portion 51 is formed so as to protrude from the back surface side of the attachment member main body 52. Further, these engaging portions 51 are formed so as to extend in the same direction. For this reason, the angle which the surface around the base of the engaging part 51 in the attachment member main body 52 extends and the direction in which the engaging part 51 extends is not uniform.

  The engaging portion 51 of the present embodiment is formed on each facing side. In FIG. 2, only the engaging part 51 formed on one side is shown. For this reason, only two engaging portions 51 are shown. However, actually, the engaging portion 51 is also present on the other side. That is, a total of four engaging portions 51 are formed in the attachment member 5 of the present embodiment. Since it is such a form, it becomes possible to fix the attachment member 5 to the housing | casing 3 by the engaging part 51 which opposes. Therefore, it becomes possible to fix the attachment member 5 in a stable state.

  The engaging portion 51 of the present embodiment is provided with a protrusion 54 on the distal end side, and is formed in a claw shape. Although not specifically shown in the figure, the engaging portions 51 formed on opposite sides extend so that the protrusions 54 face each other.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the attachment member 5 is attached to the fixed surface 7. FIG. 5 is a view showing the periphery of the engaging portion 51 when the attachment member 5 is attached to the fixed surface 7. The engaging part 51 formed on the attachment member 5 is configured to be able to engage with the engaged part 31 by moving straight along the broken line shown in FIG. The engaged portion 31 of the present embodiment is configured such that the protrusion 54 can be caught when engaged with the engaging portion 51. Therefore, the engagement state between the engaging portion 51 and the engaged portion 31 cannot be easily released.

  FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view around the engaged portion 31. As shown in FIG. 6, a hole 35 is formed in the housing 3. The engaging portion 51 engages with the engaged portion 31 in a state of entering the hole portion 35. The portion where the hole portion 35 is formed functions as a guide portion 37 that guides the advancing direction of the engaging portion 51 when engaging. For this reason, it becomes easy to engage the engaging part 51 with the engaged part 31.

  The guide part 37 formed around the engaged part 31 is provided at each location of the engaged part 31, and is configured to protrude in the same direction. A restricting portion 39 capable of restricting the attachment position of the attachment member 5 is formed on the upper portion of the guide portion 37. The restricting portion 39 of the present embodiment is formed to protrude outward from the upper portion of the guide portion 37. The attachment position of the attachment member 5 is restricted by the restriction portion 39 formed in a substantially L shape in a side view to prevent the attachment position from being displaced or the engagement portion 51 from being erroneously released. Is possible.

  In this manner, even the fixed surface 7 formed with different angles can be attached by moving the attachment member 5 formed from one member so as to move in one direction. For this reason, it becomes possible to perform attachment work comparatively easily. Further, since there is no need to extremely elastically deform the attachment member 5 along the fixed surface 7, it is possible to suppress a large gap from being formed between the fixed surface 7 and the attachment member 5.

  As mentioned above, although one embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modes can be adopted. For example, the attachment member does not have to be a U-shaped frame when viewed from the front, and may be a rectangular shape, a substantially O-shaped frame, or a frame having another shape. Moreover, it does not need to be limited to a frame, and a bent plate or a rod-like plate can also be used.

  The attachment member need not be a single member. For example, another member such as two-color molding may be integrally formed. Moreover, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which another member is separately attached to the attachment member.
