Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install an electrical enclosure while saving space, by constituting a mechanism with a central enclosure that becomes an electrical equipment enclosure being accommodated at a lower center and a surrounding enclosure that is formed in nearly U-shaped gantry type where an accommodation space is provided at the lower center for accommodating the central enclosure. SOLUTION: A first enclosure 1 incorporates a maintenance bypass circuit inside and is so called in a gantry shape with a U-shaped section where an accommodation space S (width: W, depth: D) of a second enclosure 2 is provided at the lower part of a center part. Also, the second enclosure 2 incorporates a circuit for UPS inside and is formed in nearly box shape. The second enclosure 2 has no gap at the accommodation space of the first enclosure 1 and is formed with a width and a length for smooth accommodation. Therefore, when these enclosures are not required, they are bundled together and are immediately disassembled into separate bodies for exchange on exchange/ inspection or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a computer is known which includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a maintenance bypass circuit in order to make a backup at the time of a power failure.

[0003]

However, in the case of constructing such a system, it is necessary to install a plurality of housings containing electric equipment. For example, FIG.
As shown in FIG.
In addition, since a housing 101 with a built-in UPS and a housing 102 with a built-in maintenance bypass circuit are required, it is difficult to apply the device to a narrow place where there is not enough space for installation.
Such a situation is not limited to the electric equipment such as the UPS, but is also applicable to various electric appliances, and a storage mechanism that can be installed in a space-saving manner is required.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to install an electric housing in a small space and to collectively connect a large number of plugs simultaneously. It is an object to provide a storage mechanism and a connection mechanism.

[0005]

That is, the invention according to claim 1 is a collective storage mechanism and a connection mechanism for electrical equipment that collectively house a plurality of electrical equipment housings for housing electrical equipment. A central housing serving as an electric device housing housed in the lower center, and a substantially U-shaped gantry-shaped housing provided with a housing space in the lower center, and enclosing the center housing in the housing space. And a housing.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a collective storage mechanism and a connection mechanism for electrical equipment according to the first aspect, wherein the central housing has one plug on one surface and a housing for storing the plug. The other plug is provided on the inner surface at the back of the storage space of the installation housing, and the center housing is housed to the storage space fixed position of the surrounding housing, whereby the two plugs are simultaneously connected collectively. .

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a collective storage mechanism and a connection mechanism for an electrical device according to the first aspect, wherein one plug is provided on one surface of the surrounding housing and is stored therein. The other plug is provided on the inner surface at the back of the storage space of the outer enclosing housing, and the two plugs are simultaneously collectively collected by storing the enclosing housing to the storage space fixed position of the outer enclosing housing. What is connected.

[0008]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a collective storage mechanism and a connection mechanism of an electric device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The collective storage mechanism and the connection mechanism of the electric device include a first housing (enclosed housing) 1. In this configuration, a second housing (central housing) 2 is detachably inserted and housed.

The first housing 1 of this embodiment has a built-in maintenance bypass circuit (preferably a small electric component) inside (upper center or the like), and as shown in FIG. , The storage space S of the second housing 2 (width W, depth D)
The gantry has a U-shaped cross section. An abutment wall 1A is formed at the back of the storage space, and a plurality of male plugs 1B connected to the plug on the second housing 2 side are provided on the abutment wall 1A.

The second housing 2 has a built-in UPS circuit therein, and is formed in a substantially box shape as shown in FIG. The second housing 2 is formed to have a width and a length that can fit smoothly in the storage space of the first housing 1 without any gap. A female plug 2B is provided on the back surface 2A of the second housing 2 facing / abutting the abutment wall 1A of the first housing 1 at a position corresponding to the male plug 1B on the first housing side.
Are formed, and a handle 2C (see FIG. 1) is formed on the surface. The first and second housings 1 and 2 are provided with casters 3 that can move freely.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, when not necessary, these housings are put together and exchanged.
At the time of inspection, etc., it can be easily disassembled separately and replaced. In addition, if the second housing 2 is inserted into the storage space S of the first housing 1 and pushed in without any gap, the two plugs can be simultaneously connected together.

In this embodiment, the structure having the function of performing the collective connection is employed. However, if the structure does not have such a function, the first housing is not provided with the abutment wall and is completely penetrated. Storage space may be used. In addition, in order to easily perform an operation of inserting the second housing 2 into the storage space S of the first housing 1, for example, the second housing 2 is tapered as shown in FIG. The storage space of the body 1 becomes narrower toward the back.)

Next, a description will be given of a collective storage mechanism and a connection mechanism of electric equipment according to a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
The collective storage mechanism and connection mechanism of this embodiment shown in FIG.
A second housing (enclosed housing and also a central housing) 5 is removably inserted and housed in a housing (enclosed housing) 4, and a third housing 5 is mounted on the second housing 5. The body (central housing) 6 is configured to be removably inserted and housed.

At the back of the first housing 4, there is formed an abutment wall 4A having a central portion for accommodating the third housing which is recessed one step deeper. It does not matter as space. A male plug 4B is accurately formed at a predetermined position on the abutment wall 4A of this embodiment.
On the other hand, a female plug 5B is formed on the back surface of the second housing 5 housed in the first housing 4, and a similar female plug 6B is formed on the third housing 6. I have.

Although the second housing 5 of this embodiment has a shape in which the storage space S penetrates, it may have a structure having an abutting wall. Further, the present invention is not limited to the three-stage housing as in this embodiment, and may be configured to accommodate four or more housings simultaneously.

[0016]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the central housing serving as the housing of the electric equipment housed in the lower center and the substantially central housing provided with the housing space in the lower center. Since it is composed of a gantry-like shaped enclosure and an enclosure that houses the central enclosure in the storage space, a large number of enclosures can be stored in a minimum installation space, making it extremely practical. is there.

According to the second and third aspects of the present invention, the connection and removal of plugs can be simultaneously and collectively realized by a very simple operation of inserting, pushing, and pulling out the housing into the storage space. Because it is possible, the efficiency of the connection work is dramatically improved.
