Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wiring box which is small in size, which facilitates visual recognition of the connection states between apparatuses and, further, which is easy to install. SOLUTION: A wiring box 1 is composed of a board box 1b whose bottom plane is made from a wooden plate 1a and a plurality of apparatuses 2 housed in the board box 1b. I/O terminals 4 are provided on the respective apparatuses 2 in order to input signals to the apparatuses 2 through coaxial cables Cx and transmit the inputted signals through the coaxial cables Cx. The I/O terminal 4 is provided on the surface of the apparatus 2 which faces the opening of the board box 1b. Therefore, as the I/O terminals 4 are provided on the surfaces of the apparatuses 2 on the front side of the board box 1b, it is not necessary to provide a wiring space for connecting the coaxial cables Cx to the I/O terminals 4. With this constitution, the respective apparatuses 2 can be placed closely to each other and hence the size of the wiring box 1 can be reduced and, further, as the I/O terminals 4 are provided on the front side of the board box 1b, the connection states of the respective apparatuses 2 can be monitored easily.

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring box for receiving a signal and transmitting the signal to a predetermined device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a wiring terminal board 1 according to a conventional example. The wiring terminal board 1 is separately configured according to the type of signal to be drawn in.
As shown in (a) and (b), a device 4 such as a UV booster or a BS booster is housed in a board box 3 whose bottom surface is formed of a wooden board 2. Each device 4 includes a coaxial cable Cx and a twisted pair. The line TP is connected.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a board box 1 of a wiring box 1 installed on a wall surface or the like in a building.
A wiring box 1 in which a device 2 such as a telephone main unit, a TV co-listening booster, or a distributor is housed in b, and a telephone line, a TV antenna, or a signal line from a CATV or the like is installed on a wall surface in a building. I was pulling in.

[0004]

However, in the wiring box 1 having the above-described structure, each device 2 housed in the board box 1b has various sizes and shapes.
In addition, since an input / output terminal is often provided on the side surface of each device 2, a space for a wiring cable such as a coaxial cable Cx or a twisted pair wire TP connected to each device 2 is required in the panel box 1b. And each device 2
There is a problem in that a wiring space for connecting or disconnecting the wiring cable is required, and therefore the entire wiring box 1 becomes large.

Further, the wiring inside the panel box 1b is likely to be complicated, and since it is difficult to connect the wiring cable on the side surface, it is difficult to change the wiring and additionally change the equipment 2, resulting in poor workability. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the shape, enhance the visibility of the connection state between devices, and have good workability. To provide a wiring box.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
A wiring box in which a device having an input terminal for receiving a signal through a wiring cable and an output terminal for transmitting an input signal through the wiring cable is housed in a panel box having an opening. In the above, the input terminal and the output terminal are arranged on the surface of the panel box opening side of the device.

According to a second aspect of the invention, in the wiring box according to the first aspect, at least one of the portions of the input terminal and the output terminal connected to the wiring cable is formed in an L shape. It is characterized by being present.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the wiring box according to the first or second aspect, at least one of the portions of the wiring cable connected to the input terminal and the output terminal is L-shaped. It is characterized in that a connector portion formed in the above is provided.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overall configuration of a wiring box 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wiring box 1 is configured by accommodating a plurality of devices 2 (UV booster, BS booster, mixer, distributor, etc.) in a board box 1b whose bottom surface is formed of a wooden board 1a.
Each device 2 is attached to the wooden board 1a with screws, metal fittings, or the like. In addition, a power outlet 3 for supplying electric power to the device 2 that requires a power source is provided in the board box 1b.

The power outlet 3 is the board box 1
It does not necessarily have to be provided in b, and power may be supplied from the outside of the board box 1b by a power cord.

Each device 2 is provided with an input / output terminal 4 for receiving a signal via the coaxial cable Cx and transmitting the input signal via the coaxial cable Cx.

The input / output terminal 4 is a board box 1b of the device 2.
Is formed on the surface on the side of the opening (hereinafter referred to as the front surface side).

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, since the input / output terminal 4 is formed on the front surface side of the board box 1b of the device 2, it is necessary to provide a wiring space for connecting the coaxial cable Cx to the input / output terminal 4. Therefore, the devices 2 can be arranged close to each other, and the wiring box can be reduced in size. Further, since the input / output terminal 4 is formed on the front side of the board box 1b, each device 2
The connection status of can be easily known.

As shown in FIG. 2, an L-shaped or curved connector portion C is provided at the connecting portion of the coaxial cable Cx connected to the input / output terminal 4, or as shown in FIG. The output terminal 4 may be formed in an L-shape or a curved shape so that the wiring box 1 can be made thinner. In this case, the bending force does not act much on the coaxial cable Cx, and the coaxial cable Ca is The electrical characteristics are stable.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case of the coaxial cable Cx has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the same effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained when a wiring cable such as a twisted pair wire is used. Is obtained.

[0017]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, an apparatus having an input terminal for receiving a signal through a wiring cable and an output terminal for transmitting an input signal through the wiring cable is provided with an opening. In a wiring box that is housed in a panel box that includes, the input terminals and output terminals are arranged on the surface of the panel box opening side of the equipment. It was possible to provide a wiring box that requires no space, has a small shape, enhances the visibility of the connection state between devices, and has good workability.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the wiring box according to the first aspect, at least one or more of the portions of the input terminal and the output terminal that are connected to the wiring cable are L-shaped. Since the thickness of the wiring box can be reduced and the connecting portion is formed in an L shape, the bending force is not exerted so much on the wiring cable, and the electrical characteristics of the wiring cable are stabilized.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the wiring box according to the first or second aspect, at least one of the portions connected to the input terminal and the output terminal of the wiring cable is formed in an L-shape. Since the connector part is provided, the thickness of the wiring box can be reduced, and since the connector part is formed in an L-shape, the bending force does not act on the wiring cable so much that the wiring cable The electrical characteristics are stable.
