Description

The present invention relates to an outdoor installation device that is installed and used outdoors.

Conventionally, outdoor installation devices that are installed outdoors and perform various types of information collection and other processes have been used for purposes such as checking the functionality of speakers installed outdoors. In such outdoor installation devices, device components such as electrical and electronic components that are the subject of maintenance are often housed in an equipment housing having an openable and closable lid, such as that described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-198492 filed by the present applicant. Such outdoor installation devices include a housing main body and a lid in the equipment housing installed outdoors, and a sealing member that is interposed between the housing main body and the lid to ensure airtightness within the equipment housing.

Patent Application No. 2020-198492

However, in the outdoor installation device of Patent Document 1 mentioned above, the lid is flat in shape, and the reaction force of the sealing member causes the lid to warp and deform, resulting in a decrease in the crushing allowance of the sealing member, making it impossible to maintain a seal, and there is a risk of moisture penetrating into the housing.

Therefore, the present invention focuses on the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide an outdoor installation device that can prevent deformation of the lid due to the reaction force of the sealing member, avoids deterioration of the sealing performance caused by the deformation, and ensures airtightness inside the device housing.

In order to solve the above problems, the outdoor installation device of the present invention is an outdoor installation device equipped with an equipment housing having a housing main body formed in a bottomed box shape and accommodating equipment components to be installed outdoors inside, a lid attached to the housing main body in an openable and closable manner and closing an opening of the housing main body, and a seal member interposed between the housing main body and the lid to ensure airtightness inside the housing main body, wherein the housing main body is upright on a bottom and has an opening peripheral wall portion surrounding the periphery of the opening, and a seal member attachment portion provided on an outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion and to which the seal member is attached, and the lid portion is The device housing has a flat portion covering the opening surface of the housing main body, and a lid side wall portion that is erected on the flat portion and surrounds the periphery of the flat portion, the opening peripheral wall portion and the lid side wall portion being arranged parallel to one another in a direction from the opening surface side of the housing main body toward the bottom side of the housing main body, and the device housing is characterized in that, when the lid portion is in a closed state, the end surface of the lid side wall portion located on the housing main body side functions as a pressing surface that presses the seal member attached to the seal member mounting portion of the housing main body from the opening surface side of the housing main body toward the bottom side of the housing main body.

According to the outdoor installation device of the present invention, the lid has a lid side wall that is erected on the flat surface that covers the opening surface of the housing main body, so deformation of the lid due to the reaction force of the sealing member can be prevented. Moreover, the end face of the lid side wall located on the housing main body side functions as a pressing surface that presses the sealing member attached to the sealing member attachment part of the housing main body from the opening surface side of the housing main body toward the bottom side of the housing main body, so it can withstand the reaction force when the sealing member is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a decrease in sealing performance due to deformation of the lid and ensure airtightness inside the device housing.

Here, in the outdoor installation device of the present invention, the sealing member mounting portion may be formed such that the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion located on the inner side of the mounted sealing member is higher than the cross-sectional dimension of the sealing member. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the sealing member mounted to the sealing member mounting portion from falling off the opening peripheral wall portion toward the opening side (height direction).

In the outdoor installation device of the present invention, it is preferable that the seal member mounting portion has a first step portion that protrudes outward from the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion, and a second step portion that is provided on the opening side of the opening peripheral wall portion from the first step portion and protrudes outward from the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the seal member mounted on the seal member mounting portion from shifting from the seal member mounting portion or from protruding toward the inner diameter side of the seal member.

Furthermore, in the outdoor installation device of the present invention, it is preferable that the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion is exposed in the sealing member mounting portion. According to this configuration, the sealing member mounting portion has an L-shaped cross-section due to the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall portion being exposed, so that the drainage (drainage) of moisture such as rainwater in the sealing member mounting portion is improved, and pooling of water in the sealing member mounting portion can be prevented (improved drainage). In addition, it is possible to avoid changes in the crushing allowance due to deformation of the lid portion and the housing main body portion caused by moisture expansion during freezing, and the intrusion of moisture into the seal interface of the sealing member due to repeated freezing and thawing.

In the outdoor installation device of the present invention, it is preferable that the end of the lid is formed in a state where it extends toward the bottom side of the housing body to a position on the placement surface on which the seal member is placed in the first step of the seal member attachment portion or a position on the bottom side of the housing body from the placement surface when the lid is closed. This configuration is advantageous in terms of weather resistance because the seal member is not exposed to sunlight. In addition, the seal member is not exposed to foreign matter such as dust in the air, rainwater containing harmful substances, and especially when installed along railway tracks, iron powder (rust components from overhead wires and vehicles themselves), soot (diesel exhaust and oil on non-electrified lines), etc., so that damage caused by these can be reduced.

Furthermore, in the outdoor installation device of the present invention, it is preferable that the sealing member is an O-ring with a circular cross section, and the amount of protrusion of the sealing member mounting part from the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall part at the second step part is smaller than the wire diameter of the O-ring. With this configuration, since an O-ring is used as the sealing member, it is possible to prevent the sealing member from being misassembled due to twisting or the like. Moreover, since the amount of protrusion of the second step part of the sealing member mounting part from the outer surface of the opening peripheral wall part is smaller than the wire diameter of the O-ring, it is possible to prevent the sealing member from riding up onto the second step part as a step, and to avoid the sealing member from being caught when the lid part is closed.

In the outdoor installation device of the present invention, it is also preferable that the corners of the first and second step portions of the sealing member attachment portion are chamfered to have an R shape. With this configuration, the corners (ends) of the first and second step portions are chamfered to have an R shape, so that the sealing member is less likely to be damaged and breakage of the sealing member can be prevented.

The outdoor installation device of the present invention can prevent deformation of the lid due to the reaction force of the sealing member, and can avoid deterioration of the sealing performance caused by the deformation, thereby ensuring airtightness inside the device housing.

The outdoor installation device described below is assumed to be, for example, a sound pressure measuring device that measures the sound pressure emitted by a speaker to check the functionality of the speaker as an alarm at facilities such as railroad crossings installed at various locations along railway lines and transmits the measurement results wirelessly, but the device can also be widely applied to various other devices installed outdoors. Also, since the present invention relates to a sealed structure for the device housing of an outdoor installation device, the following description of the device parts housed in the device housing will be omitted for the sake of convenience.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the outdoor installation device 1 includes a device housing 10 having a housing body 2 formed in a bottomed box shape in which device components (not shown) are housed, a lid 3 attached to the housing body 2 so as to be openable and closable so as to cover an opening 2a of the housing body 2, and a hinge 4 connecting the housing body 2 and the lid 3. The housing body 2 and the lid 3 are connected to each other via the hinge 4 so as to be openable and closable, and are sealed by the interposition of a seal member 5.

The housing body 2 is formed of a hard resin or the like into a flat rectangular cylinder with a bottom, and is designed to accommodate device components (not shown) inside. The housing body 2 has an opening peripheral wall 21 that is provided upright on the bottom 20 and surrounds the periphery (edge) of the rectangular opening 2a, and a seal member mounting portion 22 that is provided on the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall 21 and to which the seal member 5 is attached. In this case, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the opening peripheral wall 21 is located on the extension line of the side wall 24 that is provided upright from the bottom 20 of the housing body 2, and is a rib that is formed integrally with the side wall 24. In this embodiment, the seal member 5 is an O-ring made of a flexible resin such as rubber that has a circular cross section and is annular. The detailed structure of the seal member mounting portion 22 will be described later.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the lid 3 is formed in a rectangular plate shape from hard resin or the like, similar to the housing body 2, and is fixed to the housing body 2 so as to close the opening 2a of the housing body 2. The lid 3 has a flat surface 31 that covers the opening surface (opening 2a) of the housing body 2, and a lid side wall 32 that is erected on the flat surface 31 and surrounds the periphery of the flat surface 31. As shown in Fig. 5, when the lid 3 is closed, the end surface 32a of the lid side wall 32 located on the housing body 2 side functions as a pressing surface that presses the seal member 5 attached to the seal member attachment portion 22 of the housing body 2 from the opening 2a side of the housing body 2 toward the bottom 20 side of the housing body 2.

1 and 2, the four female screws 23 are installed in a distributed manner in the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the opening peripheral wall 21 of the housing main body 2, specifically, they are screwed portions installed adjacent to the four corners of the rectangular opening peripheral wall 21. In addition, the four male screws 33 are provided so as to penetrate the four corners of the rectangular plate-shaped lid 3 and be screwed one-to-one into the four female screws 23 of the housing main body 2, and are screw members that fasten the lid 3 to the housing main body 2. In addition, four internal tooth washers (not shown) may be fitted in the middle of each male screw 33 so as to be located between the lid 3 and the housing main body 2 when the lid 3 is fastened to the housing main body 2.

The hinge section 4 is arranged at two locations, one above the other in the vertical direction at one end in the short direction when the device housing 10 is installed. The hinge section 4 is arranged to connect the outer peripheral edge 34 of the cover side wall section 32, which corresponds to the long side of the rectangle, and the side wall 24, which extends linearly in the cover section 3 and the housing body section 2, each of which has a rectangular periphery. In this case, the two hinge sections 4 are provided at intervals from each other in the extension direction D1 of the outer peripheral edge 34 and the side wall 24. Specifically, the hinge section 4 has a hinge shaft section 41 that is integral with either the housing body section 2 or the cover section 3 (in this embodiment, the cover section 3), and a hinge bearing section 42 that is integral with either the cover section 3 or the housing body section 2 (in this embodiment, the housing body section 2). The hinge shaft 41 of the hinge unit 4 is rotatably engaged with the hinge bearing 42, thereby connecting the cover 3 to the housing body 2 so that the cover 3 can be opened and closed. The number of hinge units 4 is not limited to two, and multiple hinge units 4 may be arranged. In addition, the side wall 24 on which the hinge unit 4 of the housing body 2 is provided has a vent 6 for internal ventilation of the device housing 10, which protrudes outward from the outer periphery of the side wall 24.

Here, as shown in Figs. 3 to 6, the seal member mounting portion 22 in the housing main body 2 has an outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 located on the inner side of the mounted seal member 5, which is formed higher than the cross-sectional dimension of the seal member 5. The seal member mounting portion 22 also has a first step 21b protruding outward from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21, and a second step 21e provided on the opening 2a side of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 from the first step 21b and protruding outward from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21. Furthermore, the seal member mounting portion 22 is formed in a state in which the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 is exposed. In other words, the seal member mounting portion 22 is formed with the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 exposed, and has a shape having a first step 21b with an L-shaped cross section. In addition, in the present embodiment, the seal member 5 is an annular O-ring with a circular cross section, and the seal member mounting portion 22 preferably has a protrusion amount T1 from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 at the second step 21e smaller than the wire diameter of the O-ring (seal member 5). Furthermore, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the seal member mounting portion 22 preferably has chamfered corners 21c, 21d of the first and second step portions 21b, 21e in an R shape.

6, a clearance W1 (gap) is provided between the housing body 2 and the lid 3 so that they can be properly combined even when the fitting dimensions of the housing body 2 and the lid 3 are maximized or minimized due to variations in the molding dimensions. When the clearance W1 is at its maximum, there is a concern that play (backlash) will occur when the O-ring (sealing member 5) is attached, causing it to shift from the sealing surface (first step 21b) or protrude into the inner diameter of the O-ring, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. In order to prevent such a situation, it is preferable to form the thickness dimension W2 of the inner diameter side of the O-ring as the seal member 5 on the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall 21, that is, the portion corresponding to the second step 21e, one step thicker than the thickness dimension W3 of the opening peripheral wall 21 above the portion, so that the O-ring does not rattle when the cover 3 is closed and can be tightly attached in the first direction connecting the bottom 20 of the housing main body 2 and the flat portion 31 of the cover 3 and in the second direction (inner diameter direction of the O-ring) perpendicular to the first direction. With this structure, it is possible to prevent the O-ring from shifting from the seal member mounting portion 22 and protruding to the inner diameter side of the O-ring. In addition, by making the thickness dimension W2 of the second step 21e thicker, it is possible to prevent the O-ring from falling off the seal member mounting portion 22 when the cover 3 is opened by setting it in a state in which an initial tension (i.e., a tensile force that slightly stretches the O-ring when the O-ring is mounted) is applied when the O-ring is mounted. At this time, if the protruding amount T1 (step width) of the second step 21e in the opening peripheral wall 21 is too small, there is no effect, and conversely, if it is too large, there is a risk of problems such as the O-ring riding on the upper part of the second step 21e over the entire circumference, or floating in other places while some parts can be attached, not being able to be attached, or rupture due to excessive pulling force acting on the O-ring, etc. Therefore, it is desirable for the protruding amount T1 of the second step 21e to be 1/3 or less of the wire diameter of the O-ring. In addition, it is preferable that the height h1 of the second step 21e is smaller than the thickness h2 of the O-ring as the seal member 5 after compression so that the end surface 32a of the cover side wall 32 and the first step 21b of the seal member attachment portion 22 do not interfere with each other even when the cover 3 is closed. With this structure, even if a part of the seal member 5 is bitten when the cover 3 is closed, the seal member 5 can be prevented from rupturing.

As described above, according to the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the lid part 3 has the lid side wall part 32 that is provided upright on the flat part 31 that covers the opening surface (opening 2a) of the housing main body part 2, so that the second moment of area of the lid part 3 is increased by the lid side wall part 32 even with the same plate thickness, and the rigidity of the lid part 3 can be increased. Therefore, deformation of the lid part 3 due to the reaction force of the seal member 5 can be prevented. Moreover, the end face 32a located on the housing main body part 2 side of the lid side wall part 32 functions as a pressing surface that presses the seal member 5 attached to the seal member attachment part 22 of the housing main body part 2 from the opening 2a side of the housing main body part 2 toward the bottom part 20 side of the housing main body part 2. Therefore, the thickness of the end face 32a as the pressing surface can be regarded as being made thicker by the thickness corresponding to the height of the lid side wall part 32 rather than simply as a flat surface, so that it is possible to counter the reaction force when the seal member 5 is pressed without increasing the overall thickness. This prevents deterioration of the sealing performance caused by deformation of the lid 3 and ensures airtightness inside the device housing 10.

In addition, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 located on the inner side of the attached seal member 5 is formed higher than the cross-sectional dimension of the seal member 5. Here, when the O-ring is attached as the seal member 5, a rotational force due to friction occurs in the O-ring between the opening peripheral wall portion 21 and the inner diameter of the O-ring. For this reason, the O-ring may be inserted while rotating when attached, and if the height of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 is set to be equal to or less than the radius of the diameter of the O-ring, there is a risk that the O-ring may jump out of the seal member attachment portion 22 or fall off when the insertion force is removed. Therefore, in order to improve the attachment workability, it is desirable to set the height of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 to be equal to or greater than the wire diameter of the O-ring. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the seal member 5 attached to the seal member attachment portion 22 from falling off toward the opening 2a side (height direction) of the opening peripheral wall portion 21. In addition, when the device housing 10 is installed so that the plane formed by the opening 2a of the housing main body 2 is perpendicular to the ground as shown in Figures 1 and 2, if the height of the opening peripheral wall 21 is low, there is a risk that the seal member 5 (O-ring) will fall off when the lid 3 is opened. Therefore, it is desirable that the height of the opening peripheral wall 21 be equal to or greater than the wire diameter of the O-ring, and preferably 1.5 times or more.

In the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the seal member mounting portion 22 has a first step 21b with an L-shaped cross section that protrudes outward from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21, and a second step 21e that is provided on the opening 2a side of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 from the first step 21b and protrudes outward from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21. This structure prevents the seal member 5 (O-ring) from shifting from the seal member mounting portion 22 and from protruding to the inner diameter side of the O-ring. In addition, the second step 21e is provided on the opening 2a side of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 from the first step 21b, so that the O-ring can be prevented from falling off the seal member mounting portion 22 when the lid portion 3 is opened.

Furthermore, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the seal member mounting portion 22 is formed with the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 exposed. With this configuration, the seal member mounting portion 22 is shaped with a step portion 21b having an L-shaped cross section because the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 is exposed, improving the drainage of moisture such as rainwater at the seal member mounting portion 22 (drainage performance), and preventing water from pooling at the seal member mounting portion 22 (improved drainage performance). In addition, it is possible to avoid changes in the crush allowance due to deformation of the lid portion 3 and the housing main body portion 2 caused by moisture expansion during freezing, and the intrusion of moisture into the seal interface of the seal member 5 due to repeated freezing and thawing.

In addition, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the end 32b of the lid 3 is preferably formed in a state in which it extends toward the bottom 20 side of the housing body 2 to a position that covers the exposed first step 21b on which the attached seal member 5 is placed in the seal member mounting portion 22 of the housing body 2 when the lid 3 is closed. In other words, when the lid 3 is closed, the end 32b is preferably formed in a state in which it is flush with the portion (mounting surface) on which the seal member 5 is placed on the first step 21b on the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall 21 exposed in the seal member mounting portion 22, or extends to a position toward the bottom 20 side of the housing body 2 so as to cover the outer side of the mounting surface. According to this, the end 32b of the cover 3 is flush with the mounting surface of the seal member 5 or is positioned to the bottom 20 side below the mounting surface of the seal member 5 in the first step 21b, which covers the exposed outer side of the mounting surface (i.e., covers the seal member 5) in the seal member mounting portion 22, which serves as the mounting surface on which the seal member 5 is mounted when mounted, so as to cover the exposed outer side of the mounting surface. This is advantageous in terms of weather resistance because the seal member 5 is not exposed to sunlight. In addition, the seal member 5 is not exposed to foreign matter such as dust in the air, rainwater containing harmful substances, and especially when installed along railway tracks, iron powder (rust components from overhead wires and vehicles themselves), soot (diesel exhaust and oil on non-electrified lines), etc., so damage caused by these can be reduced.

In addition, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, the sealing member 5 is an annular O-ring with a circular cross section, and it is preferable that the protrusion amount T1 of the sealing member mounting portion 22 from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 at the second step portion 21e is smaller than the wire diameter of the O-ring (sealing member 5). Here, for example, if the sealing member 5 is a flat packing with a rectangular cross section or a packing with an H-shaped cross section, these packings are likely to be twisted when mounted on the sealing member mounting portion 22. In addition, there is a risk that the sealing will be incomplete and the sealing performance will be reduced due to improper mounting of the sealing member, such as pinching of the lip (folded portion) of the packing. In contrast, in this embodiment, by using an O-ring with a circular cross section as the sealing member 5, even if the sealing member 5 is twisted, there will be no problem with the sealing performance because the cross section is circular. Therefore, according to this configuration, since an O-ring is used as the sealing member 5, it is possible to prevent misassembly of the sealing member 5 due to twisting, etc. Moreover, since the protrusion amount T1 of the second step portion 21e in the seal member mounting portion 22 from the outer surface 21a of the opening peripheral wall portion 21 is smaller than the wire diameter of the O-ring, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the seal member 5 (O-ring) from the seal member mounting portion 22 and the protrusion to the inner diameter side of the O-ring. That is, it is possible to prevent the seal member 5 from climbing up onto the second step portion 21e as a step, and to avoid the seal member 5 from being caught when the lid portion 3 is closed. At this time, if the protrusion amount T1 (step width) of the second step portion 21e in the seal member mounting portion 22 is too small, there is no effect, and conversely, if it is too large, there is a risk of problems such as the O-ring climbing up onto the upper part of the second step portion 21e over the entire circumference, or floating in other places even if part of it can be mounted, being unable to be mounted, or rupture due to excessive pulling force acting on the O-ring, etc. Therefore, it is preferable that the protrusion amount T1 of the second step portion 21e is 1/3 or less of the wire diameter of the O-ring. This structure makes it possible to prevent the seal member 5 from tearing even if part of it is caught when the lid 3 is closed.

Furthermore, in the outdoor installation device 1 of this embodiment, it is preferable that the corners 21c and 21d of the step 21b of the sealing member attachment portion 22 are chamfered to have an R shape. Moreover, it is preferable that the corners 32c on the inner side of the end face 32a of the lid 3, which is positioned close to the second step 21e when the lid 3 is closed, are chamfered to have an R shape. With this configuration, the corners 21c and 21d (ends) of the step 21b and the corners 32c on the inner side of the end face 32a of the lid 3 are chamfered to have an R shape, so that the sealing member 5 is less likely to be damaged and breakage of the sealing member 5 can be prevented.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention also includes design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention.
