Abstract

The present invention has an object of providing an electronic apparatus storing container capable of facilitating mounting of an electronic apparatus and having improved productivity. The electronic apparatus storing container according to the present invention includes: a base including an electronic apparatus mounting area of a planar shape in which an electronic apparatus is mountable, and a packing groove formed in an outer peripheral portion of the electronic apparatus mounting area; a waterproof packing fit in a corresponding manner in the packing groove; and a case joined with the base with the waterproof packing sandwiched therebetween, the case storing the electronic apparatus mounted in the electronic apparatus mounting area. This improves the productivity of the electronic apparatus storing container.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus storing container comprising:

a base including an electronic apparatus mounting area of a planar shape in which an electronic apparatus is mountable, and a packing groove formed in an outer peripheral portion of the electronic apparatus mounting area;

a waterproof packing fit in a corresponding manner in the packing groove; and

a case joined with the base with the waterproof packing sandwiched therebetween, the case storing the electronic apparatus mounted in the electronic apparatus mounting area;

a door including a hole part, the door being openable and closable to the case;

a micro-porous cap fit in the hole part, the cap being permeable to air and impermeable to water; and

a hole-part cover provided on an outer surface of the door, the hole-part cover covering the hole part.

2. The electronic apparatus storing container according to claim 1, wherein the electronic apparatus is mounted substantially at the center of the electronic apparatus mounting area.

3. The electronic apparatus storing container according to claim 1 wherein the case is integrally formed by plate welding.

4. The electronic apparatus storing container according to claim 1, wherein the door includes a waterproof packing for preventing water from entering.

5. The electronic apparatus storing container according to claim 1, wherein the base includes a radiator fin on a surface opposed to the electronic apparatus mounting area.

6. A method for assembling an electronic apparatus storing container, the method comprising:

screwing an electronic apparatus into an electronic apparatus mounting area of a planar shape;

fitting a waterproof packing in a packing groove in a corresponding manner, the packing groove being formed in an outer peripheral portion of the electronic apparatus mounting area; and

screwing a case and a base with the waterproof packing sandwiched therebetween, the case storing the electronic apparatus;

forming a hole part in a door;

fitting a micro-porous cap into the hole part, the cap being permeable to air and impermeable to water;

attaching a hole-part cover on an outer surface of the door, the hole-part cover covering the hole part; and

attaching the door to the case, the door being openable and closeable to the case.
