Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a time switch that includes a power failure backup battery.
  • a time switch which is arranged in an electric power line that electrically connects a power supply and an electric device, manages the time at which the supply of power from the power supply to the electric device is started and the time at which the supply of power from the power supply to the electric device is stopped.
  • Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-63923 discloses one example of a conventional time switch that includes a contact mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a timer mechanism.
  • the contact mechanism is switched between an activation state in which the contact mechanism closes the electric power line and a deactivation state in which the contact mechanism opens the electric power line.
  • the cam mechanism switches the operation state of the contact mechanism.
  • the timer mechanism operates the cam mechanism in accordance with the measured time.
  • the time switch further includes an electric motor, which drives the timer mechanism with power supplied from a commercial power supply, and an activating pin and a deactivating pin, which are attached to the timer mechanism to switch the operation state of the contact mechanism.
  • the activating pin and the deactivating pin are coupled to the timer mechanism in a removable manner.
  • the timer mechanism to which the activating pin and the deactivating pin are attached is driven to change the rotation positons of the activating pin and the deactivating pin relative to the cam mechanism as time elapses. For example, if the activating pin comes into contact with the cam mechanism when the contact mechanism is deactivated, the torque of the timer mechanism moves the cam mechanism so that the operation state of the contact mechanism is switched from the deactivation state to the activation state. This starts the supply of power from the power supply to the electric device. If the deactivating pin comes into contact with the cam mechanism when the contact mechanism is activated, the torque of the timer mechanism moves the cam mechanism so that the operation state of the contact mechanism is switched from the activation state to the deactivation state. This stops the supply of power from the power supply to the electric device.
  • the electric motor of the time switch stops. This stops the timer mechanism.
  • the timer mechanism cannot measure the present time. Even if the power supply is restored, the time measured by the timer mechanism is later than the present time. In this case, the time when the activating pin or the deactivating pin comes into contact with the cam mechanism is later than the scheduled time, and the time for starting or stopping the supply of power from the power supply to the electric device is later than the scheduled time.
  • the time switch may include, for example, a power failure backup battery that supplies power to the electric motor during a power failure.
  • the time switch including the power failure backup battery hereinafter referred to as the "reference example time switch"
  • the timer mechanism continues to operate even when a power failure occurs.
  • the time switch accurately measures the present time. This reduces situations in which the time for starting or stopping the supply of power from a power supply to an electric device is later than the scheduled time.
  • the reference example time switch may have the following problem. For example, when a battery holder that holds the power failure backup battery has an opening located in the back surface of the time switch, a lid that closes the opening is arranged on the back surface of the time switch. Since the time switch is normally attached to a wall, the user needs to remove the time switch from the wall when replacing the power failure backup battery.
  • This problem can be solved by, for example, forming a battery holder that includes an opening in the front surface of the time switch.
  • the lid is more noticeable when arranged on the front surface of the time switch than when arranged on the back surface of the time switch. Thus, someone may erroneously remove the lid.
  • the same problem occurs when the opening of the battery holder is located in a side surface of the time switch.
  • It is an object of the present invention is to provide a time switch that allows for easy replacement of the power failure backup battery and restricts erroneous removal of the lid from the battery holder.
  • One aspect of the present invention is a time switch that includes a case, a timer, a battery holder, a lid, and a tool insertion hole.
  • the case accommodates a drive source.
  • the timer mechanism is driven by the drive source.
  • the battery holder is capable of accommodating a power failure backup battery that supplies power to the drive source during a power failure.
  • the battery holder includes an opening that opens in a front surface or a side surface of the case.
  • the lid is capable of opening and closing the opening.
  • the tool insertion hole allows for insertion of a tool between the case and the lid.
  • the time switch according to the above aspect allows for easy replacement of a power failure backup battery and restricts erroneous removal of the lid from the battery holder.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the relationship between the main components of a time switch 1 according to one embodiment.
  • the solid lines show the mechanical connection between the components of the time switch 1
  • the broken lines show the electrical connection between the components of the time switch 1.
  • the time switch 1 is arranged in an electric power line that electrically connects a power supply 2 and an electric device 3.
  • a power supply 2 is a commercial power supply.
  • One example of the electric device 3 is an electric lock installed in a building.
  • the time switch 1 includes a cam mechanism 70, which switches the operation state of the contact mechanism 80, a timer mechanism 60, which operates the cam mechanism 70 in accordance with the measured time, and a drive source 50, which drives the timer mechanism 60.
  • a drive source 50 is an electric motor.
  • the timer mechanism 60 includes a dial 61, which is rotated by the drive force of the drive source 50.
  • the dial 61 is essentially a clock that measures the present time.
  • the time switch 1 further includes a case 10, which forms the contour of the time switch 1, a setting pin 63, which uses the torque of the timer mechanism 60 to operate the cam mechanism 70, and a knob 90, which is operated to switch the operation state of the contact mechanism 80.
  • the contact mechanism 80, the cam mechanism 70, the timer mechanism 60, and the drive source 50 are accommodated in the case 10.
  • the setting pin 63 which is coupled to the dial 61 in a removable manner, rotates integrally with the dial 61 when attached to the dial 61.
  • the time switch 1 includes two types of setting pins 63, namely, an activating pin 63A and a deactivating pin 63B.
  • the activating pin 63A is attached to the dial 61 to switch the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the activation state.
  • the deactivating pin 63B is attached to the dial 61 to switch the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the deactivation state.
  • the case 10 includes a battery holder 20, which is able to accommodate a battery 25.
  • the battery 25 is a power failure backup battery that supplies power to the drive source 50 during a power failure.
  • the time switch 1 When using the time switch 1, the user attaches the battery 25 to the battery holder 20.
  • the battery 25 attached to the battery holder 20 is electrically connected to the drive source 50.
  • the power of the battery 25 drives the drive source 50.
  • the timer mechanism 60 continues to function as a timer.
  • the knob 90 may be located at a first operation position, at which the knob 90 sets the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the activation state, and a second operation position, at which the knob 90 sets the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the deactivation state.
  • the operation position of the knob 90 is changed by the user.
  • the cam mechanism 70 is operated regardless of the rotation position of the activating pin 63A. This switches the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the activation state.
  • the cam mechanism 70 is operated regardless of the rotation position of the deactivating pin 63B. This switches the operation state of the contact mechanism 80 to the deactivation state.
