The separator 30 is positioned on the bottom 10 by engaging the spherical engaging portion 52b with the recess 30a.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 are arranged on the bottom 10 at predetermined intervals. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 are arranged in a grid pattern. By arranging the plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 in this manner, the separation plate 30 can be mounted across the plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 (three positions in the example shown in FIG. 3), thereby stably attaching the separation plate 30. can be supported.

As shown in FIG. 3, the separator 30 is supported by a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 arranged along the front-rear direction (up-down direction in FIG. 3) of the cable accommodating section 14, so that the separator 30 is arranged parallel to the front-rear direction. Ru. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the separator 30 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction by supporting the front end side and the rear end side with adjustment mechanisms 50 whose positions are shifted in the left-right direction. will be placed in With this configuration, the separator 30 can be oriented in a direction different from that of the second side wall 12. Note that in FIG. 5, illustration of the power line 3 and the communication line 4 is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lighting fixture 41 is attached to the separator 30 so as to illuminate the road surface 6. By appropriately selecting an arbitrary adjustment mechanism 50 from a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 50 and attaching the separator 30 to the selected adjustment mechanism 50, the lighting direction (illumination angle) of the lighting fixture 41 relative to the road surface 6 can be adjusted.

The lighting fixture 41 may be attached to a support plate 35 separate from the separator plate 30, as shown in FIG. 7. The support plate 35 is detachably attached to a single adjustment mechanism 50, similar to the separator plate 30. The power lines 3 and communication lines 4 are not shown in FIG. 7.

Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the separator 30 may be configured such that both ends are fixedly supported by the fixing parts 36. In this configuration, the fixing parts 36 are fixed to the bottom 10. The orientation of the separator 30 depends on the fixing parts 36.

Here, an example of wiring for supplying power will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the power supply line 42 includes an electric wiring 42a drawn out from the power line 3, passed through the separator 30, and connected to the lighting fixture 41. The lighting fixture 41 emits light when a predetermined power is supplied from the power line 3 via the electric wiring 42a. The power line 3 and the power supply line 42 connect each lighting fixture 41 in the adjacent cable storage container 1 by, for example, bus-type wiring.

The light emitted from the front surface of the lighting fixture 41 passes through the transparent side wall portion 12 and illuminates the side on the road surface 6 side. Furthermore, light emitted from a surface other than the front surface (for example, a side surface) of the lighting fixture 41 is reflected by the reflection section 33 and transmitted through the side wall section 12 to illuminate the side on the road surface 6 side.

As described above, the cable housing container 1 of the first embodiment includes a bottom 10, side walls 11 and 12 that are detachably connected to the bottom 10, a lid 13 that is detachably connected to the side walls 11 and 12, and a cable housing section 14 that is surrounded by the bottom 10, the side walls 11, 12, and the lid 13 and houses the power lines 3 and the communication lines 4, and at least one of the bottom 10, the side walls 11, 12, and the lid 13 includes a translucent section 15 that is translucent.

In this way, since the light-transmitting part 15 having light-transmitting properties is provided, this light-transmitting part 15 can be accessed from the outside without removing the bottom part 10, side wall part 11, side wall part 12, lid part 13, etc. that constitute the cable storage container 1. Through the portion 15, the contents inside the cable storage container 1 can be easily confirmed. In this embodiment, the side wall portion 12 facing the road surface 6 is made of a transparent member to constitute a light-transmitting portion 15 . Therefore, the lighting fixture 41 housed in the second housing part 32 can be easily confirmed from the road surface 6 side through the side wall part 12. Further, the cable storage container 1 can be removed at a convenient location for the operator (for example, the side wall portion 12, etc.) to perform maintenance on the cables, lighting fixtures 41, and the like contained therein. Therefore, the cable storage container 1 can facilitate operations such as maintenance while checking the contents from the outside.

The cable storage container 1 includes a bottom portion 10 , a side wall portion 11 , a side wall portion 12 , and a lid portion 13 , any part of which is constituted by a light-transmitting portion 15 . Therefore, the entire cable storage container 1 does not need to be made of a transparent material, and only the necessary portion can be made into the transparent portion 15.

In addition, when a lighting fixture 41 is used for electrical equipment as in this embodiment, the lighting fixture 41 can be placed inside the cable housing 14, which is isolated from the outside, so that the lighting fixture 41 can be protected from wind, rain, dust, etc. while providing illumination to the road surface 6.

The cable storage container 1 includes a first connecting member 21 that removably connects the bottom 10 to the side walls 11 and 12, and a first connecting member 21 that removably connects the side walls 11 and 12 to the lid 13. 2 coupling members 22. As a result, any one or more of the bottom portion 10, the side wall portion 11, the side wall portion 12, and the lid portion 13, which are connected to each other by the first connecting member 21 or the second connecting member 22, can be partially attached and detached. . Therefore, the area near the stored items that require maintenance can be partially opened, making it easy to maintain the stored items.

The cable storage container 1 includes a cable storage part 14, a first storage part 31 in which the power line 3 and the communication line 4 are stored, and a second storage part 31 facing the transparent part 15 and in which the lighting fixture 41 is stored. 32, and a power supply line 42 that supplies power from the power line 3 to the lighting fixture 41.

As a result, the function of laying power lines 3 and communication lines 4, which are cables, and the function of accommodating lighting equipment 41, which is electrical equipment, are separated, and both are housed together in the cable storage container 1. be able to. Therefore, it becomes easier to manage different devices such as cables and electrical devices.

The cable storage container 1 has an adjustment mechanism 50 that adjusts the direction of the separator 30 in the front-rear direction, and the lighting fixture 41 is attached to the separator 30.

Thereby, the illumination angle of the lighting fixture 41 in the front-back direction with respect to the road surface 6 can be arbitrarily adjusted.

In the cable accommodation container 1, the separator 30 has a reflective portion 33 that reflects light. As a result, light emitted from a surface other than the front surface (for example, the side surface) of the lighting fixture 41 is reflected by the reflection section 33 and transmitted through the side wall section 12 together with the light emitted from the front surface of the lighting fixture 41 to the road surface 6. illuminate the sides of the Therefore, the cable storage container 1 can illuminate the side on the road surface 6 side while suppressing the loss of light emitted from the lighting fixture 41. Further, by using the reflective portion 33 made of a material having a characteristic of high light reflectance, the amount of light emitted by the lighting fixture 41 can be suppressed, and the amount of power consumed by the lighting fixture 41 can be suppressed.

In the cable storage container 1, a side wall portion 12 constituting a light-transmitting portion 15 is coated with a photocatalyst 16. Thereby, the outer surface of the second side wall portion 12 can be protected from rain, dust, etc. by the photocatalytic action of the photocatalyst 16. Therefore, it is possible to avoid reducing the light emitted from the lighting fixture 41 due to dirt on the second side wall portion 12.

<Example of change>
FIG. 9 shows a modification example in which a vehicle sensor 45 (traffic counter) for measuring traffic volume is installed on the separator 30 as an electrical device in place of the lighting fixture 41.

The traffic counter system is a system that measures the number of vehicles (traffic volume) traveling on the road surface 6 shown in FIG. The vehicle sensor 45 is, for example, a surveillance camera that uses visible light, a laser sensor or an infrared camera that uses infrared light, or the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, by adjusting the orientation of the separator 30, the detection direction of the vehicle sensor 45 can be adjusted. For example, if a road has two lanes on each side (an outside lane and an inside lane), and the detection direction of the vehicle sensor 45 is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle, two vehicles are running in parallel on the outside lane and the inside lane. If you do so, only vehicles traveling in the outside lane can be detected. However, if the orientation of the separator 30 is adjusted so that the detection direction of the vehicle sensor 45 is directed diagonally to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, two vehicles will be traveling in parallel in the outside and inside lanes. However, since these two vehicles can be detected, the number of vehicles traveling can be reliably detected.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a cable accommodation container 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described while referring to the description of the first embodiment. In the following description, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals to omit or simplify the description, and mainly differences will be described.

As shown in FIG. 10, the cable storage container 1 of the second embodiment is buried in a road 60 such as a general road or a sidewalk. The road 60 includes a ground layer 61 and a pavement layer 62 laid on the ground layer 61. The cable storage container 1 is buried in the road 60 so that the surface of the lid part 13 is continuous and substantially flush with the surface of the pavement layer 62.

The separator 30 of the cable accommodation container 1 of the second embodiment has the cable accommodation part 14 facing the first accommodation part 31 on the lower side in which the power line 3 and the communication line 4 are accommodated, and the lid part 13. and a second housing section 32 in which the instrument 41 is housed. The separator 30 is disposed between the side wall 11 and the side wall 12, and is detachably attached to the side wall 11 and the side wall 12.

In the cable housing container 1 of the second embodiment, the lid portion 13 constitutes the light-transmitting portion 15. The lid portion 13 is formed of a light-transmitting transparent resin such as a transparent acrylic plate. The surface of the lid portion 13 is coated with a photocatalyst 16.

The lighting fixture 41 is installed on the separator 30 so as to emit illumination light upward. The electrical wiring 42a of the power supply line 42 is drawn out from the power line 3, penetrates the separator 30, and is connected to the lighting fixture 41. The lighting fixture 41 is supplied with power from the electric wiring 42a and emits light. The light emitted from the lighting fixture 41 passes through the transparent lid part 13 and illuminates the upper part of the lid part 13.

According to the second embodiment, the cable housing container 1 can be placed on a part of a sidewalk, etc., and the degree of freedom in the placement of the cable housing container 1 is improved. For example, the lighting device 41 may be configured to emit light only at night. In this case, the cable housing container 1 brightly illuminates pedestrians walking on the upper surface of the lid portion 13 or in its vicinity from below, thereby ensuring safety when walking. In addition, the cable housing container 1 may be placed, for example, on a route from a main road to an evacuation site. When placed in this manner, in the event of a disaster, etc., pedestrians can reach the evacuation site by walking along the lid portion 13 illuminated by the lighting device 41. Therefore, the cable housing container 1 can be used as an evacuation guide light in the event of a disaster, etc. In addition, since the lighting device 41 is placed inside the cable housing container 1, it is protected from rain, dust, etc.

<Example of change>
The first and second embodiments can be modified as follows. As shown in Fig. 11 , the side wall 11 and the side wall 12 constituting the cable housing container 1 have a first engagement portion 25 at one end corresponding to the extension direction of the power lines 3 and the communication lines 4 (left and right direction in Fig. 11 ), and have a second engagement portion 26 formed to be able to engage with the first engagement portion 25 at the other end corresponding to the extension direction of the power lines 3 and the communication lines 4. Cable housing containers 1 arranged adjacent to each other along the extension direction of the power lines 3 and the communication lines 4 are connected by engaging the first engagement portion 25 with the second engagement portion 26.

The first engaging portion 25 includes groove portions 25a formed in the side wall portion 11 and the side wall portion 12 and facing each other. The groove portion 25 a extends in the direction in which the side wall portions 11 and 12 rise from the bottom portion 10 . The second engaging portion 26 includes a protrusion 26a that projects laterally. The protruding strip 26a extends in the direction in which the side wall portion 11 and the side wall portion 12 rise from the bottom portion 10. By relatively moving the pair of adjacent cable storage containers 1 in the vertical direction (in the front and back directions of the drawing in FIG. 11), the convexity of the second engaging portion 26 is formed in the groove portion 25a of the first engaging portion 25. The strip 26a is fitted and engaged. A gap is formed between the groove portion 25a and the protrusion 26a. As a result, one cable storage container 1 can be arranged at an angle with respect to the other cable storage container 1 by utilizing the gap, and can be arranged along the shape of a road etc. (for example, a curve). be able to.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments or modifications, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the first embodiment, the entire second side wall portion 12 is made of transparent resin, so that the entire second side wall portion 12 becomes the light-transmitting portion 15. A portion may be made transparent, and the transparent portion may be configured as the light-transmitting portion 15.

Alternatively, a plurality of separators 30 may be provided in the cable accommodation container 1 to partition the accommodation space into three or more spaces. Further, the orientation of the separator 30 may be adjusted not only in the front-rear direction but also in a manner that it can be adjusted so as to be tilted with respect to the bottom portion 10. In the case of this configuration, for example, the illumination direction of the lighting fixture 41 may be adjustable in the vertical direction.

Various methods, such as a wired method or a wireless method, can be used as the power supply line 42 that supplies power from the power line 3 to the lighting fixture 41 and the vehicle sensor 45. For example, a non-contact power supply device may be used instead of the electrical wiring 42a.

The wiring structure for connecting the lighting fixtures 41 and the vehicle sensor 45 to the power line 3 via the power supply line 42 may be star-type wiring instead of bus-type wiring. Also, the lighting fixtures 41 and the vehicle sensor 45 may be configured with an angle change unit. In this configuration, the lighting fixtures 41 and the vehicle sensor 45 themselves can change their angle relative to the separator 30, eliminating the need to adjust the orientation of the separator 30.

In addition to the lighting fixtures 41 and vehicle sensors 45, the cable housing 1 may be equipped with electrical equipment such as a speaker that issues an alarm or an electric indicator. Since power can be constantly supplied from the power line 3, it is possible to equip the cable housing 1 with high-performance electrical equipment that consumes high amounts of power. Furthermore, since the electrical equipment can include vehicle sensors 45 and speakers in addition to the lighting fixtures 41, it is possible to achieve even higher functionality.
