Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage box for electrical components provided on a ship or the like, and more particularly, to a storage device for electrical components such as a fuse and an electric wire connected thereto. The present invention relates to a storage box for electrical components, which can be integrally inserted into and removed from an end. 2. Description of the Related Art An internal combustion engine is frequently used in a propulsion device of a ship, and a starting device for this internal combustion engine is conventionally configured as follows. That is, a main switch is connected to a battery by an electric wire, and a relay for a starter motor is connected to the main switch. Further, a fuse for preventing an overcurrent is provided between the main switch and the relay. Then, the main switch is turned on (O
N), a current is supplied from the battery to the starter motor via the relay, and the starter motor is driven,
Cranking is performed by this drive, and the internal combustion engine is started. The fuse, which is an electrical component, is housed in a box attached to a hull. The box body includes a box body having an opening, and a lid body capable of opening and closing the opening of the box body. The fuse and the end of the electric wire connected thereto are integrally opened. If the opening of the box body is closed with the lid after the insertion, the fuse is stored in the box together with the end of the electric wire. It has become. The fuse needs to be occasionally maintained and inspected. At this time, the fuse and
Insertion and removal of the electric wire connected to the end of the box body is performed integrally with the box body. In the case where the other end of the electric wire is fixed to one of the insides of the box body, the end of the electric wire has a certain amount of slack when the fuse is housed, while the wire is pulled out. At times, the slackening makes it possible to smoothly withdraw the wire without being hindered by the other end of the electric wire fixed inside the box body. [0008] However, when the slack is provided, it is not easy to neatly store the end portion of the electric wire at the time of storage. On the other hand, when the fuse is pulled out, the slack portion on the end side of the electric wire interferes with other devices housed in the same box main body, which hinders a smooth operation at the time of pulling out the fuse. There's a problem. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an electric component and an end portion of an electric wire connected to the electric component are inserted into the box main body so as to be freely inserted and removed. An object of the present invention is to ensure that when the electric components are stored in a storage box, the electrical components and the ends of the electric wires are stored in a regular manner, and that the operation at the time of insertion and extraction is performed smoothly. [0011] In order to achieve the above object, a storage box for electrical components according to the present invention comprises a box body 51 having an opening 52, and the opening 52 of the box body 51 can be opened and closed.

According to the above configuration, the one end of the one wire 46 connected to the electrical component 45 has a certain amount of slack, so that the electrical component 45 and the end 7
When the electrical component 45 and the end 71 side of the electric wire 46 are to be stored in the storage box 49 in a case where the first side is freely insertable into and removable from the cylindrical body 69, first, these are inserted into the box body 51. The box body 51
May be closed with a lid 53, or a cap 74 may be attached to the lid 53 that has closed the opening 52 of the box body 51. In this case, the lid 53 or the cap 74 As a result, the opening 70 of the cylindrical body 69 is automatically closed, and the storage in the storage box 49 is performed. Therefore, when the electrical component 45 and the electric wire 46 are stored on the end 71 side, they are confined in the cylindrical body 69 including the slack portion on the end 71 side, that is, are stored neatly. The Rukoto. On the other hand, when the electrical component 45 is extracted from the box body 51, the end portion 71 of the electric wire 46 is sequentially extracted from the inside of the cylindrical body 69 with the extraction. Therefore, when the electric component 45 is extracted, the slack portion on the end 71 side of the electric wire 46 is
It is possible to avoid interference with other devices included in the device, and therefore, the operation at the time of the extraction can be performed smoothly. Although the above description is based on the illustrated example, the cylinder 69
Other electrical components such as the connector 37 may be made to be freely insertable into and removable from the connector. According to the present invention, there is provided a box body having an opening, and a lid body capable of opening and closing the opening of the box body, and an electrical component and an end side of an electric wire connected to the electrical component. In a storage box for electrical components, which can be integrally inserted into and removed from the box body through the opening, there is provided a cylindrical body integrally projecting from the inner bottom of the box body toward the opening. Through the opening of the projecting end of the cylindrical body, the electrical component and the end of the electric wire can be integrally inserted into and removed from the cylindrical body, and the lid is opened and closed by opening and closing the opening of the box body by the lid. The body opens and closes the opening of the cylindrical body. For this reason, when the electric component and the end of the electric wire are made to be able to be inserted into and removed from the cylindrical body by giving a certain amount of slack to the end of the electric wire connected to the electric component, When storing the electrical components and the end portions of the electric wires in the storage box, first, they are inserted into a cylinder in the box main body, and then the opening of the box main body may be closed with a lid. With this configuration, the opening of the cylindrical body is automatically closed by the lid, and the storage in the storage box is performed. Therefore, when the electrical components and the electric wires are stored at the ends, they are confined in the cylindrical body including the slack portions at the ends, that is, are stored neatly. On the other hand, at the time of extracting the electrical components from the box body, the ends of the electric wires are moved along with the extraction.
It will be sequentially taken out from the cylinder. Therefore, when extracting the above electrical components,
It is avoided that the slack portion on the end side of the electric wire interferes with another device included in the box main body, so that the operation at the time of the extraction is performed smoothly.
