Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to outdoor equipment such as an outdoor water heater.

(Prior Art) In the case of an outdoor-installed device, rainwater or the like will enter the inside of the device from the mating surface of the opening provided on the outer surface of the device body, for example, the front surface, and the lid plate that closes the opening. Packing is used to prevent entry. On the other hand, this lid plate is attached to the device body by hooking a folding piece formed by folding back the upper edge of the lid plate to the device body so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the device body. However, if it is required that the top surface of the device body and lid plate be flat in design with the lid plate closing the opening, the receiving piece should be placed above the top face of the device body. It must be located below. For that purpose, at least the upper edge portion of the opening provided on the outer surface of the device body is bent downward, and the opening is closed from the lower end of the upper side portion to the upper end of the receiving piece that is erected upward and outward. It is necessary to hook the base end portion of the inwardly downwardly-folded piece formed on the upper edge portion of the cover plate to swingably support the cover plate. If it is provided at a position, even if the lid plate is swung in the closing direction, the packing provided at the upper edge portion of the opening cannot be effectively compressed by the lid plate and the sealing performance cannot be exhibited. Actual development Sho 56-1884
As described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2 (1999), a water absorbing material is provided instead of packing at the upper edge of the opening provided on the front surface of the device, and a gap between the mating surface between the lid plate and the device body that closes the opening. It is known that rainwater or the like entering from the inside is absorbed by the water absorbing material to prevent water from entering the main body of the device.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) With the above-mentioned conventional device, it is possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the main body of the device when a small amount of rainwater or the like intrudes from the outside, but when the amount exceeds a certain amount, The absorbent will not be able to absorb rainwater etc. any more and will allow rainwater etc. to enter the equipment body. Further, since the water absorbing material is located inside the equipment body, there is a problem that rainwater or the like once absorbed does not easily evaporate and causes rust of the equipment body.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and is formed by bending at least the upper edge portion of the opening provided on the outer surface of the device body downward. The base end of the inwardly downwardly folded piece formed at the upper edge of the lid plate that closes the opening is hooked on the upper end of the receiving piece that has risen upward from the lower end of the upper side portion to attach the lid plate. In a swingably supported one, a packing is provided at least on the entire width of the upper side of the opening so that the outer surface of the packing is located inside the receiving piece, and the folded piece at the upper edge of the lid plate is provided. The lid plate is provided so as to be crimped to the outer side surface of the packing over the entire width of the upper side portion by swinging in the opening closing direction of the lid plate.

(Function) A folding piece that folds the upper edge of the lid plate to hook the lid plate on the upper end of the receiving piece of the device body, and compresses the packing provided on the upper edge portion of the opening when the lid plate swings in the closing direction. However, the packing prevents the entry of rainwater and the like from above the device body.

(Example) Next, the Example of this invention is described based on drawing.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, (1) is the main body of the device, which is provided with an opening on the front surface which is the outer surface, and the upper and left and right parts of the peripheral edge of the opening are bent inward, and the lower part is directed outward. A bent edge (11) is formed. (2) is a front plate that is a lid plate that closes the opening of the device body (1), and the peripheral edge thereof is folded back inward so as to face the projecting edge (11) of the device body (1) and the frame-shaped projecting edge ( 21) is formed.

The front plate (2) is detachably attached to the opening of the device body (1) through a packing (3), and specifically, the front edge (11) of the device body (1). The lower end of the upper side portion (11a), which is the upper edge portion, is folded back upward to provide the receiving pieces (12) at two places, and the upper side portion (11a) and the receiving piece (12) are formed into a U-shaped cross section as a whole. . The receiving piece (12) formed separately may be attached to the upper side portion (11a) by welding or the like. On the other hand, the upper edge (21a) of the front plate (2) is inclined toward the mating surface side with the device body (1), and the inclined upper edge (21a) is folded back to compress the packing (3). Configured as a piece, the upper side (11a) of the device body (1)
After attaching the packing (3) to the projecting edges (11b) (11c) on both sides, make the packing (3) and the upper projecting edge (21a) of the front plate (2) parallel, and attach the front plate (2). The upper flange (21a) is inclined with respect to the front surface of the device main body (1) as shown in FIG.
(3) is fitted into the gap between the receiving side (12) from above, and the base end of the upper projecting edge (21a) of the front plate (2) is hooked on the upper end of the receiving piece (12). As shown in FIG. 3, the front plate (2) is swung to a mounting position which is parallel to the front surface of the device body (1), and the front plate (2) is protruded from the lower protrusion edge (21d) of the device body (1). Edge (11d)
It was attached by screwing to.

When doing so, when the front plate (2) is swung with the upper end of the receiving piece (12) as the fulcrum, the lower part of the upper edge (21a) of the front plate (2) moves to the device body (1) side. Since the packing (3) is compressed and bites into it, the sealing performance is improved when the front plate (2) is attached to the device body (1), and rainwater etc. can enter the device body (1). Disappears.

At this time, since the packings (3) are also compressed by the side edges (21b) (21c), the side sealability is also improved.

In the figure, (4) is a seal member, (5) is, for example, an exit window for exhaust,
(6) shows a combustion box, and (7) shows a control box.

In the embodiment described above, the upper projecting edge (21a) of the front plate (2) is inclined toward the mating surface side with the device body (1).
Even when the upper side portion (11a) of the device body (1) is inclined toward the mating surface side with the front plate (2) as shown in the figure, the same operation and effect as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the device body is provided with the lid plate for closing the opening provided on the outer side surface of the device body, and there is no portion protruding to the upper surface of the device body. Since the gap between the upper edge of the opening and the cover plate can be sealed using packing, it is possible to effectively prevent rainwater from entering the equipment without impairing the design of the equipment body. You can
