The wiring connector 24 may or may not have a difference between the wiring connector 6 and the male and female. The connector body of the wiring connector 24 and the connector body of the wiring connector 6 may be the same size or different sizes.

  A method of assembling the circuit board storage box will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 3a, the board connector 4 is directed upward, and the back surface of the circuit board 3 on the opposite side of the board connector 4 and the inner surface of the base board 11 face each other. Four corners of the substrate 3 are placed on the support base 13. The back surface located on the opposite side of the board connector 4 in the circuit board 3 is synonymous with the opposite side face located on the opposite side of the face on the circuit board 3 where the board connector 4 is located. In addition, the wiring connector 6 connected to the wiring 5 is fitted into the board connector 4 mounted on the circuit board 3, and the electrical connection terminals of the wiring connector 6 and the electrical connection terminals of the board connector 4 are connected to each other. As a result, the electrical connection terminal of the wiring connector 6 is connected to the electrical component 22 of the circuit board 3 via the electrical connection terminal of the board connector 4 and the foil-like wiring of the circuit board 3. The wiring connector 6 may be fitted into the board connector 4 at any time before or after the circuit board 3 is mounted on the support base 13.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the inner surface of the cover base 16 is directed toward the circuit board 3, and the case cover 2 is placed on the circuit board 3 and the case base 1. In this case, the wiring connector 24 is inserted into the wiring hole 8 from the direction facing the case base 1 of the case cover 2 and pulled out to the outside of the case cover 2. As a result, the portion of the wiring 5 on the side of the wiring connector 24 is also pulled out of the case cover 2 from the direction facing the case base 1 of the case cover 2.

  As shown in FIG. 3c, the side wall 17 of the case cover 2 is fitted to the outside of the side wall 12 of the case base 1, and the space surrounded by the cover base 16 and the side wall 17 of the case cover 2 is a circuit.

Cover the wiring hole 8. The gap 26 between the rib 20 and the covering member 9 in the case where the rib 20 is opposed so as to come into contact with the covering member 9 of the wiring connector 6 is smaller than the thickness D of the unauthorized operation member 70 in FIG. Set to dimensions. In FIG. 3, 28 is an electrical connection terminal of the board connector 4, 29 is a bump of the circuit board 3, 30 is a through hole formed in the circuit board 3 and the bump 29 and into which the electrical connection terminal 28 is inserted, and 31 is an electrical connection terminal 28. The solder which couple | bonded with the bump 29 is shown. The bump 29 is a portion provided for attaching the solder 31 to the circuit board 3 with a foil-like conductor made of the same material as a conductor such as a printed wiring.

  After that, the set screw 7 in FIG. 2 passes through the screw insertion hole 19 and the screw insertion hole 23 of the circuit board 3 in order from the outside of the case cover 2 and is fastened to the screw mounting hole 14 of the case base 1. The box is completed. In this completed circuit board storage box, the circuit board 3, the board connector 4, the electrical component 22, the wiring connector 6, and the covering member 9 are enclosed in an enclosed space surrounded by a storage box composed of the case base 1 and the case cover 2. 27, the wiring 5 and the wiring connector 24 pass through the wiring hole 8 and are arranged outside the storage box composed of the case base 1 and the case cover 2.

  According to the circuit board storage box in the best mode, as shown in FIG. 1, the wiring connector 6 includes the covering member 9 for totally closing the gap 32 between the wiring 5 and the wiring hole 8, and the case base 1 and the case cover 2 are combined with each other and coupled with a set screw 7, whereby the circuit board 3, the board connector 4, the electrical component 22, the wiring connector 6, and the covering member 9 are stored in the closed space 27, and the rib 20 Is in contact with the covering member 9 of the wiring connector 6 or opposed so as to come into contact with the covering member 9 so that the covering member 9 covers the wiring hole 8. For this reason, even if a small number of innocent players pull the wiring 5 from the outside of the storage box, the covering member 9 does not come into contact with the rib 20 and the wiring connector 6 is not detached from the board connector 4. Therefore, by pulling the wiring 5 or removing the wiring connector 6 from the outside of the storage box made up of the case base 1 and the case cover 2, the connector connected to another unauthorized wiring is connected to the board connector 4. There is an advantage that an unauthorized operation by a small number of innocent players can be prevented.

  The case cover 2 includes a rib 20 that protrudes from the peripheral edge of the wiring hole 8 toward the closed space 27, and the peripheral edge of the wiring hole 8 is reinforced by the rib 20. For this reason, even if the wiring 5 is pulled from the outside of the storage box and the covering member 9 pushes the rib 20 from the direction of the closed space 27 toward the outside of the case cover 2, the periphery of the wiring hole 8 in the case cover 2 remains. There is an advantage that it can be prevented from being destroyed. Since the peripheral edge of the wiring hole 8 is reinforced by the rib 20, the thickness T in the direction of the inner and outer surfaces of the cover base 16 in which the wiring hole 8 is formed can be reduced to reduce the weight of the storage box. There are advantages.

  The gap 26 facing the rib 20 in contact with the covering member 9 of the wiring connector 6 or approaching the contact member 9 is set to a size smaller than the thickness D of the unauthorized operation member 70. Therefore, even if the unauthorized operation member 70 is inserted into the gap 32 from the outside of the storage box composed of the case base 1 and the case cover 2, the covering member 9 and the rib 20 prevent the unauthorized operation member 70 from entering the closed space 27. To do. Therefore, the blockade in the portion where the wiring 5 of the wiring connector 6 fitted into the board connector 4 of the circuit board 3 protrudes outward from the inside of the case cover 2 via the wiring hole 8 is closed space 27 of the unauthorized operation member 70. There is an advantage that the foil-like conductor in the circuit board 3 that connects the electrical component 22 in the closed space 27 and the board connector 4 and the electrical component 22 are not subjected to fraud.

  Even when the wiring 5 is pulled from the outside of the storage box, the gap 26 between the rib 20 and the covering member 9 of the wiring connector 6 can maintain the electrical connection terminal of the board connector 4 and the electrical connection terminal of the wiring connector 6. If the wiring 5 is pulled from the outside of the storage box and the covering member 9 contacts the rib 20 from the closed space 27 to the outside of the storage box, the electrical connection terminals of the board connector 4 There is an advantage that the connection between the wiring connector 6 and the electrical connection terminal of the wiring connector 6 can be appropriately secured.

  4 and 5 show a first different form for carrying out the invention. FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the main part of the circuit board storage box. FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the main part of the circuit board storage box.

  The structure of the main part in the circuit board storage box will be described with reference to FIG. The covering member 9 is formed separately from the wiring connector 6. The covering member 9 is provided with a body accommodating portion 34 and a connector hole 35. The body accommodating portion 34 is formed as a recess from the inner side surface in the direction facing the wiring connector 6 of the covering member 9 to the inside. The diameter of the inner surface of the covering member 9 in the body housing portion 34 is a size that can accommodate the wiring 5 side portion of the connector body of the wiring connector 6. The depth 36 of the body accommodating portion 34 is larger than the gap 26. The connector hole 35 is located inside the body housing portion 34 and is formed in the covering member 9 as a through hole to the outer surface of the covering member 9 and the bottom surface of the body housing portion 34. The diameter of the connector hole 35 is a size through which the wiring connector 24 can pass. The connector body of the wiring connector 24 is smaller than the connector body of the wiring connector 6 and is sized to penetrate the connector hole 35.

  Then, the wiring connector 24 is inserted into the connector hole 35 from the opening side of the body housing portion 34 and pulled out from the inner surface of the covering member 9 toward the outer surface. As a result, the portion of the wiring 5 on the side of the wiring connector 24 is also pulled out of the covering member 9, the connector body of the wiring connector 6 is stored in the body housing portion 34, and the connector body of the wiring connector 6 is in the body housing portion 34. To prevent the wiring connector 6 from moving in a direction parallel to the inner side surface of the covering member 9 so as to contact the bottom surface around the connector hole 35 and the wiring connector 6 does not enter the inside of the covering member 9 any more. The wiring 5 having the wiring connectors 6 and 24 and the covering member 9 are combined with each other.

  The assembled structure of the circuit board storage box will be described with reference to FIG. The wiring connector 24 is inserted into the connector hole 35 from the opened side of the body housing portion 34 and pulled out from the inner surface of the covering member 9 toward the outer surface. As a result, the portion of the wiring 5 on the side of the wiring connector 24 is also pulled out of the covering member 9, the connector body of the wiring connector 6 is stored in the body housing portion 34, and the connector body of the wiring connector 6 is in the body housing portion 34. To prevent the wiring connector 6 from moving in a direction parallel to the inner side surface of the covering member 9 so as to contact the bottom surface around the connector hole 35 and the wiring connector 6 does not enter the inside of the covering member 9 any more. The wiring 5 having the wiring connectors 6 and 24 and the covering member 9 are combined with each other.

  According to the circuit board storage box in the first different form, since the covering member 9 is formed separately from the wiring connector 6, the wiring connector 6 does not have a special shape, and a connector having a known structure is used as the wiring connector 6. There is an advantage that it can be used. The covering member 9 may be fixed to the wiring connector 6 by bonding, joining, or a set screw. However, since the covering member 9 does not need to be fixed to the wiring connector 6 by bonding, joining, or a set screw, the covering member 9 is wired. There is an advantage that the structure is simple if it is not fixed to the connector 6 by bonding, bonding or set screw. Since the depth 36 of the body accommodating portion 34 is larger than the gap 26, there is an advantage that the covering member 9 does not fall off the wiring connector 6.

  6 and 7 show a second different form for carrying out the invention. FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the main part of the circuit board storage box. FIG. 7 shows a cross section of the main part of the circuit board storage box.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the structure of the principal part in a circuit board storage box is demonstrated. The covering member 9 includes a partition wall 37. The partition walls 37 protrude in one direction as a direction facing the wiring connector 24 from the periphery of the covering member 9, and are connected to each other in the circumferential direction of the covering member 9. The square opening surrounded by the partition walls 37 connected to each other has a square shape larger than the square outer shape formed by the outer edge of the rib 20 in the case cover 2.
