Abstract

Provided is an underground laid electric equipment container system including: a box that is laid underground in the form of an opened manhole; a box holder that comprises a horizontal frame that is coupled to an upper surface of the buried box in an sealed state and an inner vertical frame that is upwardly bent from an inner edge of the horizontal frame; a cover, to which a waterproof band covering the entire upper portion of the inner vertical frame is attached, wherein coupling devices with an upper surface of the horizontal fame that allow adhesion between the upper portion of the inner vertical frame and the waterproof band are installed on the cover; and an electric equipment box that is disposed in sealed inner space of the buried box that is formed as the upper portion of the inner vertical frame and the waterproof band are adhered to each other by user'"'"'s manipulation.

Claims

1. An underground laid electric equipment container system, comprising:

a buried box that is laid underground in the form of a manhole such that omni-directional lateral sides and an underside of the buried box are sealed and a portion of an upper surface of the buried box is opened;

a box holder that comprises a horizontal frame that is coupled to the upper surface of the buried box in an sealed state and an inner vertical frame that is upwardly bent from an inner edge of the horizontal frame;

a cover, to which a waterproof band covering the entire upper portion of the inner vertical frame is attached, wherein coupling devices with an upper surface of the horizontal fame that allow adhesion between the upper portion of the inner vertical frame and the waterproof band are installed on the cover; and

an electric equipment box that is disposed in sealed inner space of the buried box that is formed as the upper portion of the inner vertical frame and the waterproof band is are adhered to each other by user'"'"'s manipulation.

2. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 1, wherein some of the coupling devices of the upper surface of the horizontal frame and the cover are coupled or separated by user'"'"'s manipulation, and while some of the coupling devices are separated, the cover is rotatable with respect to other coupling devices, as an axis of rotation, from among the coupling devices, by user'"'"'s manipulation.

3. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 2, wherein the sealed inner space of the buried box is formed as the waterproof band is adhered to an upper portion of the horizontal frame by rotation of the cover according to user'"'"'s manipulation.

4. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 1, wherein the electric equipment box is attached to a lower surface of the cover and is moved as a single body with the cover.

5. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 4, wherein some of the coupling devices of the upper surface of the horizontal frame and the cover are coupled or separated by user'"'"'s manipulation, and while some of the coupling devices are separated, the cover is rotatable with respect to other coupling devices from among the coupling devices, as an axis of rotation, by user'"'"'s manipulation, and

the electric equipment box is moved out of the buried box as the cover is separated from the upper surface of the inner vertical frame of the box holder by rotation of the cover according to user'"'"'s manipulation, and at the same time, the electric equipment box rotates as a single body with the cover.

6. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 4, wherein an electric equipment including at least one component whose performance changes according to various directions of Earth'"'"'s gravitational force is embedded in the electric equipment box, and a user interface panel of the electric equipment is accessible by opening an upper surface of the electric equipment box that is temporarily attached to the lower surface of the cover.

7. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 6, wherein some of the coupling devices of the electric equipment box and the cover are coupled or separated by user'"'"'s manipulation, and while some of the coupling devices are separated, the electric equipment box is rotatable with respect to other coupling devices from among the coupling devices of the electric equipment box and the cover, as an axis of rotation, by user'"'"'s manipulation, and

the upper surface of the electric equipment box is separated from the lower surface of the cover by rotation of the electric equipment box according to user'"'"'s manipulation, and at the same time, the upper surface of the electric equipment box is opened.

8. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 2, wherein an assistant device is installed between the box holder and the cover to increase a human strength of the user that acts on the cover to rotate the cover.

9. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 8, wherein the assistant device is a gas spring.

10. The underground laying type electric equipment container system of claim 1, wherein the box holder further comprises an outer vertical frame that is upwardly bent from an outer edge of the horizontal frame,

wherein the underground laying type electric equipment container system further comprises:

a support that is attached to an inner portion of the outer vertical frame at a predetermined depth from an upper portion of the outer vertical frame; and

an upper cover that is mounted to the support.
