Explosion-proof structure for electronic component
View Patent ↗An explosion-proof structure having a housing that houses an electronic device, a cover member that covers a first ventilation port formed on one surface of the housing at least in a normal direction to the one surface, an opening/closing member that opens and closes a second ventilation port formed between the one surface and the cover member, and a rotation support portion provided at a peripheral portion of the first ventilation port and that supports the opening/closing member, the opening/closing member rotating around the rotation support portion, using the rotation support portion as a center of rotation.
1. An explosion-proof structure comprising:
a housing configured to house an electronic device;
a cover member configured to cover a first ventilation port formed on one surface of the housing at least in a normal direction to the one surface;
an opening/closing member configured to open and close a second ventilation port formed between the one surface and the cover member; and
a rotation support portion provided at a peripheral portion of the first ventilation port and configured to support the opening/closing member,
wherein the opening/closing member is configured to rotate around the rotation support portion, using the rotation support portion as a center of rotation.
2. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 1 , comprising a rotation restricting member configured to restrict rotation of the opening/closing member in a state where the second ventilation port is closed.
3. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 1 , comprising an entry restricting member configured to restrict entry into the housing by rotation of the opening/closing member in a state where the second ventilation port is opened.
4. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 1 , comprising, a plurality of opening/closing members, each of the plurality of opening/closing members being identical to the opening/closing member,
wherein the plurality of opening/closing members comprises:
a first opening/closing member connected to an upper portion in a vertical direction of the peripheral portion; and
at least one second opening/closing member connected to a portion other than the upper portion in the vertical direction of the peripheral portion, wherein, in a state where the second ventilation port is opened, at least a part of the second opening/closing member overlaps the first opening/closing member on one surface side of the first opening/closing member in the normal direction.
5. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of opening/closing members comprises:
a third opening/closing member connected to a downward portion in the vertical direction of the peripheral portion, wherein, in a state where the second ventilation port is opened, at least a part of the third opening/closing member overlaps the second opening/closing member on one surface side of the second opening/closing member in the normal direction.
6. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening/closing member include a plastic deformation portion plastically deformed by a predetermined pressure inside the housing, and
the second ventilation port is closed by plastic deformation of the plastic deformation portion.
7. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 1 , wherein an opening area of the first ventilation port and an opening area of the second ventilation port are same and within a predetermined range.
8. The explosion-proof structure according to claim 7 , wherein an opening area in a vertically upper portion of the second ventilation port is smaller than at least an opening area in a vertically downward portion of the second ventilation port.
9. An explosion-proof structure according to claim 8 , comprising an upper cover member configured to cover at least a part of an opening in the vertically upper portion of the second ventilation port.
