  By the way, the development and change of information devices as hard wafers are still remarkable, and the devices to be attached to the information distribution board are replaced with new devices or newly installed as appropriate. Among them, the frequency of adding new devices in addition to existing devices is particularly high.

  However, the conventional information distribution board such as the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a relatively small storage area, and usually assumes only storage of existing equipment, and it is difficult to add new equipment in the cabinet. . In particular, modems and routers designated by Internet providers vary in size from one provider to another, and are relatively large. Therefore, it has been difficult to install them in a conventional information distribution board.

  For this reason, when a device is added as described above using a conventional information distribution board, the device can only be placed outside the information distribution board and arranged in front. This causes a problem that the device is left exposed. In general, in a building such as a house, the information distribution board is installed at the corner of the room where the dust easily collects or the upper part of the corridor for reasons such as the beauty of the interior of the room. It is not preferable to expose the device to the cause of malfunction of the device. Also, the lid of the information distribution board must be kept open for wiring between the equipment arranged outside and the internal equipment, and as a result, the existing distribution board that could be stored in the information distribution board There is also a problem that the equipment is exposed.

  In addition, what is attached to an indoor wall such as an information distribution board is often used, for example, having a width of less than half a half (700 to 800 mm) or less from the viewpoint of a housing design module or the like. Since the place where the information distribution board can be installed is remarkably limited, it is difficult to simply increase the width of the information distribution board and increase the storage area.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device storage device such as an information distribution board that can appropriately cope with the expansion of devices.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a device storage device for storing various devices connected to the information transmission wiring of an information terminal device, and includes a box-shaped main body having an opening on the front side, and a rear side. and closable box-shaped cover having an open face mate with the aperture surface of the main body, a cabinet consisting of, disposed behind the wall of the main body, and a device mounting plate can be attached to equipment to the surface of the front side, A device mounting member that is capable of installing another device at a position that is closer to the front than the device mounted on the device mounting plate and does not contact the device, and the cabinet includes the device mounting plate and the device. It has a depth that can accommodate the device installed on the mounting plate, the device mounting member, and the other device installed on the device mounting member, and the device mounting member is fixed to the main body. The tip of the device mounting member , Characterized in that it is positioned in front of the opening surface of the body.

According to the present invention, since a new device can be installed in the cabinet without increasing the exclusive area when viewed from the front of the cabinet, it is possible to appropriately cope with the expansion of the device. In addition, the apparatus mounting plate and the apparatus in the apparatus installation unit are not affected by heat with each other, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in performance due to heat generated by the activation of the apparatus. In addition, the lid and the main body can ensure a sufficient depth in the front-rear direction of the cabinet. For example, when the main body is installed in the wall of a building such as a house and the lid is installed on the surface side of the wall, the thickness of the main body is limited by the wall thickness of the wall, and depending on the thickness of the wall Although a sufficient depth cannot be ensured with the main body alone, the lid body is formed in a box shape protruding forward with respect to the main body, so that the cabinet depth can be sufficiently secured even in such a case.

The device placement member may be provided with an opening.

  Vents may be formed in the upper and lower walls of the lid. In such a case, the heat generated from the device installed in the device mounting portion and the vents provided above and below can generate an ascending airflow that passes through the cabinet and effectively release the heat to the outside of the cabinet. Thereby, even if many devices are stored in the cabinet, an excessive temperature rise due to heat can be prevented.

The device mounting member may be fixed in a state of floating from the lower wall of the main body.

The lid may be opened and closed with the tip of the upper wall of the main body as a fulcrum.

  Next, the operation of the information distribution board 1 configured as described above will be described. The information distribution board 1 is installed on the indoor wall A as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 11 side of the cabinet 10 is embedded in the wall A, and the lid 12 is opened and closed on the front side of the wall A.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a switching HUB 70 as a line concentrator having a plurality of ports is attached to the attachment surface 40a of the equipment attachment plate 40 in the cabinet 10. For example, on the device mounting member 51, for example, a modem 71 for the Internet and a router 72 are mounted. At this time, even if the modem 71 and the router 72 are placed at a position overlapping the switching HUB 70 when viewed from the front, a gap is formed between the modem 71 and the router 72 and the switching HUB 70.

  For example, the input side of the modem 71 is connected to the Internet terminal of the telephone line terminal block 42 by the information transmission wiring 73. The output side of the modem 71 is connected to the input side of the router 72 by the information transmission wiring 73, and the output side of the router 72 is connected to the input side of the switching HUB 70. The switching HUB 70 is connected with a plurality of information transmission wirings 73 leading to information outlets provided in indoor rooms. These information transmission wirings 73 communicate with the outside of the cabinet 10 through the wiring insertion holes 21. By connecting a personal computer (PC) that is an information terminal device to an information outlet in each indoor room, the Internet can be used on the PC. For example, the switching HUB 70, the modem 71, and the router 72 are powered from the power outlet 41.

  A distributor 80 connected to a broadcast receiving antenna, a CATV, or the like provided on the roof of a house is attached to an attachment surface 40a facing the space 54 where the device support member 52 is provided in the cabinet 10, for example. A booster 81 that amplifies a broadcast signal is attached to the front surface of the device support member 52. The input side of the booster 81 is connected to the distributor 80 by the information transmission wiring 73, and the output side is connected to an information outlet provided in each room. By connecting a TV as an information terminal device to an information outlet, broadcasts can be viewed on the TV. For example, the booster 81 is powered from the power outlet 41. For example, wiring from the power outlet 41 to various devices such as the booster 81 is arranged in the wiring path space S below the device placement member 51.

  In addition, a LAN line for connecting information outlets in each room is set on the information distribution board 1 as necessary. In addition, information transmission wiring 73 for a general telephone that leads to an information outlet in each room is connected to a terminal of the telephone line terminal block 42.

  After the switching HUB 70, the modem 71, the router 72, the distributor 80, and the booster 81 are installed in the cabinet 10, the lid 12 of the cabinet 10 is closed.

  According to the above embodiment, in the cabinet 10, the apparatus mounting part 50 for installing another apparatus in the position nearer the front than the apparatus attached to the apparatus mounting plate 40 is provided, and the cabinet 10 Since the device mounting plate 40, the device mounting plate 40, the device mounting unit 50, and the device mounting unit 50 have a depth that can accommodate the devices, the number of devices can be increased without increasing the exclusive area of the cabinet 10. Can respond appropriately.

  Since the device installation unit 50 is formed so that another device can be installed at a position where the device installation plate 40 does not come into contact with the device, between the device of the device installation plate 40 and the device of the device installation unit 50, Without being affected by heat, it is possible to prevent degradation of performance due to the heat of the equipment.

  The main body 11 of the cabinet 10 is formed in a box shape having an opening surface 25 on the front side, and the lid body 12 has an opening surface 26 that meets the opening surface 25 of the main body 11 on the rear side. It is formed in a box shape that protrudes. Therefore, the lid 12 and the main body 11 can ensure a sufficient depth in the front-rear direction of the cabinet 10. Further, when the main body 11 is installed in the wall A and the lid body 12 is installed on the surface side of the wall A as in the present embodiment, the distance between the wall A and the inner wall B on the inner side is short. 11 cannot secure a sufficient depth, but the lid 12 is formed in a box shape protruding forward with respect to the main body 11, so that the cabinet 10 can have a sufficient depth even in such a case. Further, as in the present embodiment, the extension device is mainly installed on the lid 12 side. Therefore, when the lid 12 is opened, the extension device is located on the near side, and the extension device can be used for replacement or wiring. Can work easily. Further, since the cabinet 10 according to the present embodiment can be installed by overlapping the devices in the front and rear (overlapping), it is possible to cope with the expansion of the devices while preventing the entire cabinet 10 from spreading in the plane direction.

  A plurality of vent holes 31 are formed in the upper and lower walls of the lid 12. For this reason, when a temperature difference occurs in the atmosphere in the cabinet 10 due to heat generated from the equipment, and an updraft is generated due to a difference in the specific gravity of air due to the temperature difference, the updraft flows through the vent 31 and the cabinet 10 An airflow passing from the bottom to the top is formed. Due to the effect of the updraft, the heat generated from the equipment installed on the equipment placement section 50 can be effectively released to the outside of the cabinet 10. Thereby, even if many apparatuses are accommodated in the cabinet 10, an excessive temperature rise due to heat can be prevented.

  Since the apparatus installation part 50 has the flat apparatus mounting member 51 which is fixed to the back wall surface 11a of the main body 11 and protrudes from the wall surface 11a to the front side, the apparatus mounting part 50 mounts the apparatus on the apparatus mounting member 51. Thus, another device can be easily installed near the front side of the device of the device mounting plate 40. Moreover, the lid 12 can be suitably opened and closed in a state where the device is mounted on the device mounting member 51.

  The device installation unit 50 includes a device support member 52 fixed to the device mounting plate 40, and the device support member 52 is a support plate parallel to the device mounting plate 40 at a position in front of the device mounting plate 40. 52c, the connection device can be supported on the front surface of the support plate 52c, and the connection device can be mounted on the front surface of the device mounting plate 40 at a position between the support plate 52c and the device mounting plate 40. It is. For this reason, another device can be easily installed near the front side of the device on the device mounting plate 40 by causing the device support member 52 to support the device. Further, the lid 12 can be suitably opened and closed while the device is supported by the device support member 52. Further, since the device is supported on the front surface of the device support member 52, it can be separated from the device of the device mounting plate 40, and the thermal influence between the devices can be prevented. In particular, by separating the distributor 80 from the booster 81 that easily generates heat, it is possible to prevent the booster 81 from affecting the distributor 80 and to arrange these related devices side by side in the front-rear direction.

  Since the lid 12 is configured to be detachable from the main body 11 of the cabinet 10, for example, when the modem 71 for high-speed communication is not necessary, the thick lid 12 is removed from the main body 11 to form a flat plate shape. Another thin lid can be attached to the main body 11. As a result, the protrusion of the cabinet 10 from the indoor wall A can be reduced, for example, when no additional equipment is required.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made within the scope of the ideas described in the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention.
