TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring box device, and more particularly, to a wiring box device, which is formed integrally with one wiring box so as to be protruded toward an opening and can be attached to another wiring box in a folded state. The present invention relates to the provision of a wiring box device having a feature in which a detection unit that can be used repeatedly is provided.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there is no wiring box device in which such a repeatedly usable detection unit is integrally formed in one wiring box and is used in another wiring box.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, in order to expose substantially the entire front surface of a wiring box arranged on the back of a wall to the wall surface, a metal (detected portion) provided in the wiring box is detected by a metal detector from the wall surface. Alternatively, a magnet (detected part) provided in the wiring box is detected by a magnetic detector from the surface of the wall, and the outer shape of the wiring box arranged on the back of the wall is extracted. Then, a saw or a cutter is used along the outer shape. By cutting the wall material, almost the entire front surface of the wiring box is exposed to the wall surface.
Alternatively, substantially the entire front surface of the wiring box is formed on the wall surface by forming a through hole in the wall material with the detection position of the detected portion provided detectably from the wall surface in the wiring box as a center of the hole. I was coming. Then, the detected part was removed from the wiring box after substantially the entire front surface of the wiring box was exposed to the wall surface, and was discarded as dust.
That is, in the above-described conventional wiring box, the detected part itself is provided for burying or is discarded as garbage after being removed from the wiring box, which is very uneconomical. There was a problem.
[0004]
On the other hand, Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-1144 discloses a separate detection tool having an attachment portion that can be detachably attached to a wiring box. Since such a separate detector can be repeatedly used, it is unlikely to be discarded and become garbage. However, since the wiring box and the detector are separately manufactured, there is a problem that the number of processes increases and the cost increases. The storage and management of the detector was troublesome, and the wiring box was placed with the detector being forgotten to be attached, and there was a concern that the detector could not be detected from the wall surface.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to form another wiring box in a state in which the wiring box is formed integrally with a box so as to protrude toward an opening and can be folded. It is an object of the present invention to provide and provide a wiring box device having a feature in which a detected portion that can be attached to a device and that can be used repeatedly is provided.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing one embodiment of one wiring box 11 according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing an AA section of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a BB section of FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the detected part 1 removed from the wiring box 11, and FIG. 5 is a view showing the detected part 1 removed from the wiring box 11 in another wiring box 11 ′. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the mounted state.
[0009]
In the figure, the wiring box 11 of this embodiment has a mounting portion 1a at an eccentric position of the wiring box 11 so as to be removably mountable to the mounting portion 4 of another wiring box 11 'different from the wiring box 11. The to-be-detected portion 1 is integrally formed via a thin-walled connecting portion 3 facing the opening from the bottom wall of the wiring box 11, and a wiring device mounting frame (not shown) for housing a wiring device and the like is attached thereto. A pair of bosses 2 are protruded in proximity to opposing positions on the peripheral wall.
[0010]
The to-be-detected portion 1 has a configuration in which a metal foil is adhered to a top end of a tubular body 1b protrudably provided on the bottom wall of the wiring box 11 and is opposed to a lower end of the tubular body 1b. A tongue-shaped mounting portion 1a is formed on the outer surface of the wiring box 11, and a lower end outer surface of the cylindrical body 1b orthogonal to the tongue-shaped mounting portion 1a is connected to a peripheral portion of a circular hole provided in a bottom wall of the wiring box 11 by a connecting portion. 3 and are integrally connected in a separable manner.
[0011]
Note that a member that can be detected from the wall surface may be provided at the top end of the cylindrical body 1b of the detected portion 1. Examples of the detectable member include a metal ring and a magnet in addition to the above-described metal foil. And the like. That is, the detected portion has both a function of detecting its own position from the wall surface and a function of positioning for fixing the center position of the through hole.
[0012]
Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the location of the detected portion 1 can be detected from the wall surface by the detector 5 (the location of the wiring box 11 arranged on the back of the wall can be easily detected). The through hole 6a having the detection position of the detection unit 1 as the center of perforation can be pierced in the wall material. Then, after the perforation center of the perforated hole is positioned on the wall surface, the through hole 6b is pierced in the wall material. For example, the entire front surface of the wiring box 11 disposed on the back of the wall can be exposed to the wall surface through the through holes 6a and 6b. At the same time, the to-be-detected portion 1 is exposed to the wall surface through the through holes 6a and 6b, and the to-be-detected portion 1 can be easily cut off from the bottom wall of the wiring box 11 in a state where the to-be-detected portion 1 has the mounting portion 1a. .
[0013]
The to-be-detected portion 1 that has been cut off and collected can be removably attached to the to-be-attached portion 4 formed in another wiring box 11 ′ different from the wiring box 11 via the attaching portion 1a. It can be repeatedly used as a detection tool for determining the center position of a through hole to be drilled in order to make the front surface of this other wiring box 11 'arranged on the back face the wall surface.

[0016]
By the way, in the case of carrying out the present invention, for example, the arrangement position of the detected part, the mounting position, the overall appearance and the like are not limited, and the design can be appropriately changed without changing the gist of the present invention. For example, a wiring box configured to use the hole formed in the bottom wall of the wiring box from which the detected portion is removed as a so-called knock hole may be used.
[0017]
In short, the wiring box of the present invention can provide a function of detecting its own position from the wall surface, or a function of fixing the center position of the through-hole, and can provide, for example, a function of positioning. The to-be-detected part which faces the wall surface through the hole and can be taken out while having the mounting part from the wiring box is integrally formed, and the to-be-detected part after being removed from the wiring box is In addition, the wiring box, which is attached to a mounting portion provided in another wiring box different from the wiring box via a mounting portion, functions as a so-called detection tool in the other wiring box.
[0018]
And the wiring box of the present invention is that the detected part which can be reused as a `` detected tool '' to be attached to another wiring box after being removed from the wiring box is formed integrally with the wiring box main body. This is different from the conventional wiring box described above. In particular, since there is no step of manufacturing the object to be detected separately from the wiring box as in the object to be detected described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-1144, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the object to be detected separately can be detected. This eliminates the need for cumbersome storage and management of tools, and prevents the wiring box from being left with the detection tool forgotten. In addition, since the detected portion after the removal is not discarded and becomes garbage, it has an extremely remarkable effect that it is economical and can be used without waste.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the wiring box device of the present invention is provided integrally with the box so as to be protruded toward the opening so as to be foldable, and is provided on another wiring box formed in a tongue shape in a folded state. the attachable mounting section in which with a to be detected portion of chromatic the lower end. Therefore, the position where the wiring box arranged on the back of the wall is present can be detected from the wall surface, a through hole can be formed in the wall material, and the detected portion can be exposed to the wall surface via the through hole. Therefore, the detected part can be easily removed from the bottom wall of the wiring box while having the mounting part, and then the mounting part is mounted on the mounting part formed on the bottom wall of the wiring box different from the wiring box. It can be detachably attached via In other words, since the detected portion after the removal is not discarded and becomes garbage, there is an extremely remarkable effect that the device can be economically used without waste.
[0020]
In particular, since there is no step of manufacturing the object to be detected separately from the wiring box as in the case of the object to be detected described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-1144, manufacturing costs can be reduced, and the object to be detected separately can be reduced. Eliminates the troublesome storage and management of detectors.
