JP2000224667A - Ac adapter with plug for remote control switch - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make standby power into '0' by turning off a primary power source without trouble to detach an adapter from a socket every time, without trouble to separately attach a remote switch and without changing operation. SOLUTION: A cord 4 for switch is installed to the place of an instrument to be used parallel with a cord 2 on the secondary output side of an AC adapter having a main body 1, and connected to the equipment to be used by attaching a plug 5 to the top end. Thus, the primary circuit of the AC adapter can be opened/closed by the switch operation of equipment to be used.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of mounting a remote control switch with a cord on an AC adapter, by providing a relay plug at the end of the cord of the primary circuit of the AC adapter, and providing a receptacle for the device and an open / close switch for the primary circuit of the AC adapter. It is provided.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional AC adapter is simply plugged into an AC outlet, regardless of the state of use of equipment that requires electricity, and a primary current is always supplied during insertion. Therefore, there was a thing provided with a remote control switch for energy saving, but there was no thing provided with a plug at the tip of the remote control code. Also, there was no receptacle outlet for the plug for remote control in the equipment, and there was no main power switch for the equipment that opened and closed the primary power supply circuit of the adapter.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a switch with a cord, which is a conventional drawback, in which an AC adapter is simply inserted and a primary current is always supplied regardless of use or non-use. There was one that could open and close the power supply by attaching a, but there was no thing that provided a plug at the tip of the remote control cord, connected to the equipment, and opened and closed the main power supply,
So the problem was solved.

[0004]

As a result, in parallel with the cord on the secondary output side of the AC adapter, a cord for a switch is provided up to the device to be used, a plug is attached to the tip, and connected to the device to be used. In order to solve the problem, the primary circuit of the AC adapter can be opened and closed by operating a switch of a device to be used.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 shows a main body of an AC adapter with a switch plug, and FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of the AC adapter.
An AC adapter body 1, a secondary power output cord 2, and a plug jack 3 for inserting a cord are provided with a cord 4 and a plug 5 for an energy-saving remote switch. The plug 5 is a switch cord. As a relay plug, when a socket of the relay plug is provided in the cord of the external remote switch and connected to the plug 5, the AC primary circuit of the AC adapter can be opened and closed. According to the present invention, the equipment used 9 is provided with a receptacle outlet 6 into which the plug 5 can be inserted and a receptacle outlet 7 of the plug 3 for the secondary power supply for the apparatus, and the AC adapter 1 is inserted into the AC outlet and the switch 8 is turned on. In the conventional equipment, the main power switch was used to open and close the secondary current, but the equipment was provided with a receptacle 6 for the plug 5, and the plug 5
By connecting to the equipment and changing the wiring to the main switch to open and close, the circuit on the primary side of the AC adapter can be opened and closed. Of course, the secondary power circuit from the AC adapter of the conventional device is detached from the main power switch and wired directly to the circuit of the device so as to be independent of the main power switch. Thus, by providing the plug 5 for the switch, the use range of the AC adapter is widened, and it can be applied to all appliances using the AC adapter, such as musical instruments, electric appliances, and chargers for mobile phones. Since the AC primary circuit is opened and closed, wasteful power consumption of the AC adapter can be prevented. AC adapter plugs 3, 5, receptacles 6, 7
May be provided separately as shown in the figure, but 3, 5, 6 and 7 may be connected.

[0006]

When the AC adapter of the present invention and the main power switch of the device are used, there is no trouble of removing the adapter from the outlet one by one, no remote switch is attached, and the primary power supply is operated by the conventional operation. Expires,
The standby power becomes 0. As described above, once the power supply adapter of the household appliance is attached to the outlet, the power supply circuit of the AC adapter is operating, so that power is consumed regardless of the usage state of the appliance or the like. Although electricity consumption has continued for many years while wearing it, it is thought that low power is not a big deal,
AC adapter primary input side AC100V, 50-60H
Even if a standard model of Z, 16 VA, primary output side DC 9 V, 850 mA is taken as an example, it is estimated that there are more than 100 million devices used in homes and workplaces nationwide. Is not used, the primary power is consumed. When calculating the amount of power consumed by AC adapters used nationwide for a long time, many months, and the amount of dust that accumulates, a huge amount of power is wasted, like the analogy of dust accumulation. You can see that. In this way, the power is on even when not in use, and it consumes wasted electricity. It can also help reduce damage, and is effective in energy saving, safety of equipment, and daily life. In particular, for energy conservation of standby power, it is necessary to value small power, which contributes culturally, environmentally, and economically because added value increases in nature.
