Inventor: OYAMADA TAKASHI C O NEC CORPOR
IPC: F16K24/04
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: An enclosure for outdoor equipment, which prevents the
enclosure from being damaged by a rise of air pressure inside the
enclosure by exhausting air from the enclosure, and further secures
safety of the enclosure as well as easiness for fixing an inside air
pressure adjusting mechanism to the enclosure and also prevents
dew condensation from occurring in the enclosure, is provided. The
enclosure for outdoor equipment provides an inside air pressure
adjusting mechanism. The inside air pressure adjusting mechanism
provides a valve seat and a valve element seated on the valve
seat in a state that the valve element can be opened and closed by
placing a sealing component between them. The inside air pressure
adjusting mechanism is inserted to a hole of the enclosure for outdoor
equipment, in which an electronic circuit is disposed, and fixed so that
the inside air pressure adjusting mechanism does not stick out largely
from the front surface of the enclosure. With
this, the atmosphere can be prevented from entering the enclosure and
the air inside the enclosure is exhausted to the outside corresponding to
a rise of the temperature inside the enclosure.
