2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the structure is as shown in the conventional explanatory view of FIG. 4A is a front view and FIG. 4B is a side view.

As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG.
It has been performed that a partition member 12 is fixed to a housing 10 provided with 11 at a predetermined interval P, and a cabinet 1 accommodating an electronic device 2 is mounted at each position partitioned by the partition member 12.

Further, on the lower surface 1A of the cabinet 1, there are provided feet 2 made of an elastic member such as rubber at four corners, and when the cabinet 1 is mounted, the feet 2 are placed on the partition member 12. Then, the cables 13 are laid between the cabinets 1 to form the connection of the power supply or the signal line.

Therefore, a plurality of cabinets 1 are mounted on the housing 10, and the mounted cabinets are
1 is an electronic device 2 that has functions that are unnecessary due to the device configuration
The cabinet 1 in which is stored is formed so as to be inserted into and removed from the opening 1A of the housing 10 in the direction of arrow A.

[0007]

A partition member 12 having such a structure
Cabinet in the 10 shelves of the enclosure formed by
With 1 installed, for example, when vibrations such as an earthquake occur, cabinet 1 moves and cabinet 1
It is also possible to damage the housing 10.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), a fixture 14 for fixing the cabinet 1 to the partition member 12 is provided,
It is formed so that cabinet 1 will not be damaged even if vibration such as an earthquake occurs.

However, fixing the respective cabinets 1 by such fixing metal fittings 14 requires a work man-hour, and when removing a predetermined cabinet 1 due to a mounting change, the man-hours for removing the same are also required. There is a problem that man-hours are required for inserting and removing.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to have a structure that is earthquake resistant and that can be easily inserted and removed by mounting a cabinet.

[0011]

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of cabinets 1 each accommodating an electronic device 2 are formed by stacking a plurality of cabinets 1 on each other. An electronic device housing in which a foot 3 provided on the lower surface of 1 is fitted with an emboss 4 provided on the upper surface of the cabinet 1, and a U-shaped upper frame 5 for sandwiching the uppermost stage of the cabinet 1 and , The cabinet
A U-shaped lower frame 6 for sandwiching the lowermost stage of 1 and a connecting bar 7 for connecting the upper frame 5 and the lower frame 6; and
The upper frame 5 has a protruding member 5A which is inserted into the embossing 4.
However, the lower frame 6 is formed with through holes 6A penetrating the foot 3, and the connecting length L of the connecting bar 7 is expandable and contractible according to the overlapping amount of the cabinet 1. Is formed.

The above-mentioned problems can be solved by such a configuration.

[0013]

In other words, according to the present invention, the embossing 4 is formed on the upper surface of the cabinet 1, and the foot 3 is formed on the lower surface.
Cabinet 1 on the upper row has pedestal 3 on the lower cabinet 1
Multiple cabinets to be inserted into the emboss 4 of
1 is overlapped, and the connecting bar 7 is connected between the upper frame 5 holding the uppermost cabinet 1 and the lower frame 6 holding the lowermost cabinet 1.

Further, the upper frame 5 has the cabinet 1 at the top stage.
The protruding member 5A to be inserted into the emboss 4 is provided in the lower frame 6, and the through hole 6A penetrating the foot 3 of the cabinet 1 in the lowest stage is provided in the lower frame 6.

Therefore, it is possible to form the superposed cabinets 1 so that they are not displaced from each other even if vibrations such as an earthquake occur.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of an embodiment according to the present invention,
(a) is a perspective view, (b) is a perspective view of the cabinet, FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of the present invention, (a) is a perspective view of the connecting bar, (b) is a cross-sectional view of the upper frame, and (c) is It is sectional drawing of a lower frame. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same objects.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of cabinets 1 accommodating electronic devices 2 are superposed, and the upper surface 1B of the uppermost cabinet 1 has a U-shape. Attach the frame 5 to the lower surface 1A of the lowermost cabinet 1 with a U-shaped lower frame 6, and fix the ends of the connecting bar 7 to the upper frame 5 and the lower frame 6 with screws 8. The connection bar 7 is used for connection, and the cables 13 are connected between the cabinets 1 that are overlapped with each other.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the cabinet 1 is provided with an emboss 4 on the upper surface 1B of the cabinet 1 having a height H so as to correspond to the foot 3 arranged on the lower surface 1A. When the cabinets 1 are overlapped with each other, the pedestal 3 on the upper stage is fitted to the emboss 4 on the lower stage.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the upper frame 5 has bent portions formed at both ends to be engaged with the connecting bars 7, and a flat portion abutting on the upper surface 1B of the cabinet 1 is formed. The lower frame 6 is formed so that the protruding member 5A that fits the emboss 4 is fixed, and when the upper frame 5 is mounted on the upper surface 1B of the uppermost cabinet 1, the protruding member 5A fits into the circular boss 4. As shown in Fig. 3 (c), the connecting bars 7
A bent portion that is locked to the bottom of the cabinet 1 is formed, and a through hole 6A that matches the foot 3 is formed in the flat portion that abuts the lower surface 1A of the cabinet 1. When mounted, the foot 3 is formed so as to penetrate the through hole 6A.

Therefore, the upper surface 1B of the uppermost cabinet 1
2 sets of top frames 5 and the bottom cabinet 1
By connecting the two sets of lower frames 6 mounted on the lower surface 1A of the cabinet 1 with the coupling bar 7, it is possible to prevent the superposed cabinets 1 from being displaced from each other due to vibration or the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the connecting bar 7 is provided with a mounting hole 7C into which the screw 8 is inserted at one end,
A first bar 7A having a pin 7D fixed to the other end, a hook hole 7E provided at a predetermined pitch P at one end, and a screw 8 at the other end
It is configured by a second bar 7B provided with a mounting hole 7C for inserting the above, and the mounting hole 7C of the first bar 7A is locked to the upper frame 5 by inserting the pin 7D into a predetermined hook hole 7E. Then
It is formed so that the mounting hole 7C of the second bar 7B is locked to the lower frame 6.

Therefore, the connecting length L can be freely increased or decreased depending on the position of the hook hole 7E into which the pin 7D is inserted. Therefore, the pitch P of the hook holes 7E is
By making the height H approximately equal to 1, even if the stacking amount of the cabinet 1 increases or decreases, there is no problem by selecting the hook hole 7E into which the pin 7D is inserted in a predetermined position, and the upper frame 5 The lower frame 6 and the lower frame 6 can be connected by a connecting bar 7.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The upper frame is attached to the upper surface of the uppermost stage and the lower frame is attached to the lower surface of the lowermost stage by fitting the pedestal and the embossing, and the upper and lower frames are connected. It can be formed so as to be connected by a bar so that it is not disturbed by vibration such as an earthquake.

Therefore, as compared with the prior art, the structure can be simplified and damage due to vibration such as an earthquake can be prevented, and the practical effect is great.
