Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of connecting a power cord between a plug and a commercial power supply of an electric device to be used.
Standby power breaker that can cut off unnecessary standby power, and standby power detection that can know whether or not electric devices are consuming standby power and a rough value when installing this standby power breaker. About the vessel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many cases, so-called standby power consumed even when a power switch of an electric device is turned off is for maintaining a convenient function such as a timer. However, when the function is not used, it is a waste of energy and goes against the urge to prevent global warming. Conventionally, in order to cut off such useless standby power, a plug of a power cord of an electric device is pulled out from a commercial power outlet, or a commercially available intermediate switch 27 with a display lamp as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.
And an external switch, and the switch is turned off by hand to shut off. Such an intermediate switch 2
Reference numeral 7 includes a switch 3A and an indicator lamp 4A provided at the center of the case body 2K, and an insertion plug 6 and a plug receiver 7 provided therebetween.

[0003] On the other hand, it is often impossible to judge from the appearance whether or not the standby power is actually consumed. Further, in order to cut off the unnecessary standby power, it is effective to start from the one with the largest consumption. To measure this standby power, specialized measuring devices such as a power measuring device, a clamp tester, and a power integrating meter are required, but they are expensive and require specialized knowledge, and cannot be used easily in ordinary households. Absent. Therefore, in general, a watch or a timer is displayed on a display instead of looking at the standby power itself.

[0004]

The conventional intermediate switch 27 has a switch 3A and an indicator lamp 4A at the center of a case body 2J, and an insertion plug 6 and a plug receiver 7 are provided so as to sandwich them. The plug 10 for connecting the power cord of the electric device 9 and the extension cord 28 connected to the commercial power supply 11 are connected to and used for this. However, when the connection is made in this manner, the insertion plug 6 and the plug receiver 7 face in opposite directions.
As shown in FIG. 35, the cord spreads on the floor or the desk as shown in FIG. 35, and not only is it troublesome to catch a foot or obstruct an object, but also the cords on both sides are easily pulled and pulled out.
There was a disadvantage that the wiring was cluttered and unsightly. Also,
If the user holds the intermediate switch 27 in order to operate the switch, the electric connection portion comes to the front, which may cause an electric shock. There was also a drawback that it became more difficult to see. In addition, when the number of electric devices 9 is large, the number of corresponding intermediate switches 27 also increases,
There was also the disadvantage of being confused.

[0005] There are many causes for electric equipment to consume standby power. Not only is there a surprising number of electrical equipment that consumes standby power even without a clock or timer display.
The magnitude of the power is also different. However, since these cannot be seen from the external appearance, it is difficult to accurately determine whether or not the electrical equipment being used consumes standby power and its size.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, and the cord of an electric device does not disturb the operation of a switch or the movement of a person, and can be wired with good appearance. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a standby power circuit breaker that can prevent wasteful use of electricity efficiently by being able to reliably confirm that power is flowing, easily operate a switch, and easily shut off the switch. And

Another object of the present invention is to provide a standby power detector capable of easily determining whether or not an electric device used is consuming standby power and a rough value thereof.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a standby power circuit breaker is provided with a case body made of an insulating material having a switch attached to a front portion so that the switch can be operated from the front.
A connection cord having an insertion plug connected to a commercial power supply at a tip connected to one end of the switch protruding rearward from a rear part of the case body, or a connection terminal for connecting the connection cord; and the switch. A plug receiver connected to an insertion plug of a power cord of an electric device provided at a rear portion of the case body connected to the other end of the case body, and the switch arranged at a position visible from the front of the case body in an ON state. And a display lamp that is lit only when it is turned on.

On the other hand, the standby power detector includes a plug connected to a commercial power supply, a plug receiver connected to a plug of a power cord of an electric device connected to one end of the plug, and a plug receiver connected to the plug receiver. A standby power detection circuit comprising a circuit in which an indicator lamp and a resistor A are connected in series and a resistor B is connected in parallel with the other end of the plug, and a plug receiver. And a standby power measuring circuit, which is connected between the other ends of the insertion plugs and includes a circuit in which a measuring switch and a resistor C are connected in series.

[0010]

The standby power circuit breaker constructed as described above is directly attached to the side or the like of an electric device consuming standby power with the front surface thereof being aligned with a double-sided adhesive tape. When the switch is turned on, the display lamp is turned on to indicate that standby power is flowing. When the switch is turned off, the standby power flowing to the electric device is cut off, and the display lamp is turned off.

Since the connection cord and the power cord of the electric device are adjacent to the rear of the case, the two cords extend in parallel toward the rear of the case. As a result, the two cords that are likely to fall apart are united at the rear of the case body. In addition, since the display lamp and the switch necessary for the operation of confirming and shutting down the standby power are located at the front of the case body, the operation of the display lamp can be confirmed and the operation of the switch can be performed from the front of the electric device used.

On the other hand, the standby power detector constructed as described above is connected between the plug of the power cord of the electric equipment to be used and the commercial power supply. Lights up. This makes it possible to determine whether the standby power is being consumed. Further, when the measurement switch is turned on, the brightness of the display lamp changes according to the magnitude of the standby power. A rough value of the standby power can be determined based on the degree of the brightness.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of connecting a power cord between a plug and a commercial power supply of an electric device to be used.
Standby power breaker that can cut off unnecessary standby power, and standby power detection that can know whether or not electric devices are consuming standby power and a rough value when installing this standby power breaker. About the vessel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In many cases, so-called standby power consumed even when a power switch of an electric device is turned off is for maintaining a convenient function such as a timer. However, when the function is not used, it is a waste of energy and goes against the urge to prevent global warming. Conventionally, in order to cut off such useless standby power, a plug of a power cord of an electric device is pulled out from a commercial power outlet, or a commercially available intermediate switch 27 with a display lamp as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.
And an external switch, and the switch is turned off by hand to shut off. Such an intermediate switch 2
Reference numeral 7 denotes a switch 3A and an indicator lamp 4A provided at the center of the case body 2J, and an insertion plug 6 and a plug receiver 7 provided therebetween.

[0003] On the other hand, it is often impossible to judge from the appearance whether or not the standby power is actually consumed. Further, in order to cut off the unnecessary standby power, it is effective to start from the one with the largest consumption. To measure this standby power, specialized measuring devices such as a power measuring device, a clamp tester, and a power integrating meter are required, but they are expensive and require specialized knowledge, and cannot be used easily in ordinary households. Absent. Therefore, in general, a watch or a timer is displayed on a display instead of looking at the standby power itself.

[0004]

The conventional intermediate switch 27 has a switch 3A and an indicator lamp 4A at the center of a case body 2J, and an insertion plug 6 and a plug receiver 7 are provided with the switch 3A and the indicator lamp 4A interposed therebetween. A plug 10 for inserting a power cord of the electric device 9 and an extension cord 28 connected to the commercial power supply 11 are connected to the plug and used. However, when the connection is made in this manner, the insertion plug 6 and the plug receiver 7 face in opposite directions, so that the cord spreads on the floor or a desk as shown in FIG. 35, and obstructs a person from catching a foot or placing an object. In addition to the drawbacks, the cords on both sides were easily pulled out and pulled out, and the wiring was cluttered and unsightly. In addition, if the user holds the intermediate switch 27 in order to operate the switch, the electric connection portion comes to the front, which may cause an electric shock.
However, there is also a drawback that the intermediate switch 27 tends to be difficult to see depending on how it is placed. In addition, when the number of the electric devices 9 is large, the number of the corresponding intermediate switches 27 is also large, and there is a disadvantage that the electric devices 9 are easily confused. In addition, it was inconvenient and troublesome to place the switch on the floor, and it was covered with dust when placed on the floor.

[0005] There are many causes for electric equipment to consume standby power. Not only is there a surprising number of electrical equipment that consumes standby power even without a clock or timer display.
The magnitude of the power is also different. However, since these cannot be seen from the external appearance, it is difficult to accurately determine whether or not the electrical equipment being used consumes standby power and its size.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, and the cord of an electric device does not disturb the operation of a switch or the movement of a person, and can be wired with good appearance. Power can be checked without fail, and the switch can be easily turned off and turned off easily without bending the waist, thereby effectively preventing waste of electricity. The purpose is to provide a standby power circuit breaker that is effective in raising awareness.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a standby power detector capable of easily determining whether or not an electric device used is consuming standby power and a rough value thereof.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a standby power circuit breaker is provided with a case body made of an insulating material having a switch attached to a front portion so that the switch can be operated from the front.
A connection cord having an insertion plug connected to a commercial power supply at a tip connected to one end of the switch protruding rearward from a rear part of the case body, or a connection terminal for connecting the connection cord; and the switch. A plug receiver connected to an insertion plug of a power cord of an electric device provided at a rear portion of the case body connected to the other end of the case body, and the switch arranged at a position visible from the front of the case body in an ON state. And a display lamp that is lit only when it is turned on.

On the other hand, the standby power detector includes a plug connected to a commercial power supply, a plug receiver connected to a plug of a power cord of an electric device connected to one end of the plug, and a plug receiver connected to the plug receiver. A standby power detection circuit comprising a circuit in which an indicator lamp and a resistor A are connected in series and a resistor B is connected in parallel with the other end of the plug, and a plug receiver. And a standby power measuring circuit, which is connected between the other ends of the insertion plugs and includes a circuit in which a measuring switch and a resistor C are connected in series.

[0010]

The standby power circuit breaker constructed as described above is directly attached to the side or the like of an electric device consuming standby power with the front surface thereof being aligned with a double-sided adhesive tape. When the switch is turned on, the display lamp is turned on to indicate that standby power is flowing. When the switch is turned off, the standby power flowing to the electric device is cut off, and the display lamp is turned off.

Since the connection cord and the power cord of the electric device are adjacent to the rear of the case, the two cords extend in parallel toward the rear of the case. As a result, the two cords that are likely to fall apart are united at the rear of the case body. In addition, since the display lamp and the switch necessary for the operation of confirming and shutting down the standby power are located at the front of the case body, the operation of the display lamp can be confirmed and the operation of the switch can be performed from the front of the electric device used.

On the other hand, the standby power detector constructed as described above is connected between the plug of the power cord of the electric equipment to be used and the commercial power supply. Lights up. This makes it possible to determine whether the standby power is being consumed. Further, when the measurement switch is turned on, the brightness of the display lamp changes according to the magnitude of the standby power. A rough value of the standby power can be determined based on the degree of the brightness.

[0013]

The fifth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 13 to 16 and FIG. 48 differs from the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention in that a lamp for displaying an energized state is replaced with a lamp. , Switch 3B incorporated in case body 2C
In that a flag 16 interlocked with is provided. This is invented for the purpose of completely eliminating power consumption since the first to fourth embodiments use display lamps and consume some power. The flag 16 rotates about the shaft 15 and is electrically connected so that when it is moved up and down by hand as shown in FIGS. The flag 16 is provided with illustrations and colors on the front and back sides. For example, when the flag 16 is lowered, as shown in FIG.
The surface a appears, indicating a power cutoff state, and when raised, the flag 16b surface on the back surface appears as shown in FIG. 14 to indicate the energized state. Thus, the energized state of the switch 3B can be clearly seen even from a distance. Note that the flag 16 indicating the energized state is
If a phosphorescent paint or the like is used for printing on the surface b, the state can be easily recognized even in a dark place. The same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained by using the standby power cut-off device 1D configured as described above. The mounting method is the same as that of the first embodiment of the present invention. Flag 16 for use
Is raised, the switch 3B is turned on, and the electric device 9 is turned on. When the flag 16 is lowered, the switch 3B is turned off.
The state becomes F, and the standby power flowing to the electric device 9 is cut off. In this embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is directly attached to the case body 2C as in the first embodiment. However, as in the second embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is fitted to the holder 29 to which the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is attached. The same effect can be obtained by fixing.
The same effect can be obtained even when the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is integrated with the double-sided adhesive tape 8A.

The sixth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 17 to 19 and FIG. 49 is different from the first to fifth embodiments of the present invention in that Wiring for turning on the indicator lamp 4 by attaching the plug receiver 7 connected to the plug 10 to the plug 6 connected to the commercial power supply attached to the tip of the connection cord 5B protruding rearward from the rear part of the case body 2D. Is added to the connection code 5B. Even if the standby power circuit breaker 1E configured as described above is used,
The same operation and effect as those of the embodiment can be obtained. At the time of attachment, as shown in FIG. 19, the case body 2D is attached to the electric device 9 using the plug 2, the plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, and the plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 is connected to the plug receiver 7. . The method of use is the same as in the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is directly attached to the case body 2D. However, similarly to the second embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is fitted to the holder 29 to which the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is attached. The same effect can be obtained by fixing. The same effect can be obtained even when the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is integrated with the double-sided adhesive tape 8A.

The seventh embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 is different from the sixth embodiment of the present invention in that:
As in the third embodiment of the present invention, the switch 3A is mounted on the front upper surface of the case body 2F so as to be operated from the front. The same operation and effect as the sixth embodiment of the present invention can be obtained by using the standby power circuit breaker 1F configured as described above. At the time of attachment, as shown in FIG. 21, the adhesive plate at the end of the string of the fastener 12 is attached to the front surface of the electric device 9 using the plug, the plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, and the power cord of the electric device 9 is inserted. The plug 10 is connected to the plug receiver 7. The method of use is the same as that of the third embodiment of the present invention.

The eighth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 22 to 24 is different from the first to seventh embodiments of the present invention in that a switch 3C and an indicator lamp 4B
The point is that it can be attached away from F. This is because, for example, an air conditioner is installed in a high part of a room, but it is more convenient to perform an operation of shutting off standby power at an entrance of a room. On the other hand, the display of the energized state of the switch is easy to confirm when the switch is in the vicinity of the air conditioner. Even with the standby power circuit breaker 1G configured as described above, the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained. Fig. 24
, The plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, and the plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 is connected to the plug receiver 7. And switch 3C and display lamp 4B
And the connection cords 17 and 18 are laid in the room. The method of use is the same as in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The ninth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 25 to 27 and FIG. 50 differs from the first to seventh embodiments of the present invention in that the switch 3, which is manually operated,
The point is that a remote control relay 30 that can be turned on and off by a remote control is used instead of 3A, 3B, and 3C. The remote control relay 30 is connected to a remote control receiver 31 that receives a signal from the remote control transmitter 32. The operation power of the remote control relay 30 and the remote control receiver 31 is covered by the power supplied from the plug 6. Even with the standby power circuit breaker 1H configured as described above, the same operation and effect as those of the first to eighth embodiments can be obtained. Although standby power is consumed while waiting for a remote control command, in recent years, devices with extremely low power consumption have been developed, and such usage methods have become possible. When installing, as shown in FIG. 27, the plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, and the plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 is plugged into the plug receiver 7.
Connect to At the time of attachment, as shown in FIG. 19, the electric device 9 to be used is directly attached to the side surface or the like of the electric device 9 to be used, similarly to the first embodiment of the present invention, using a commercially available double-sided adhesive tape 8. Then, the plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, and the plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 is connected to the plug receiver 7. When the power button of the remote control transmitter 32 is pressed, the remote control relay 30 is turned on and the power is turned on. When electricity flows through the electric device 9, a signal from the remote control transmitter 32 is received, and the electric device 9 is turned on. Since it takes a certain amount of time from when the remote control relay 30 is turned on and the power is turned on to when the electrical device 9 can receive the signal of the remote control transmitter 32, it takes some time to output the electrical device 9 depending on the signal output time of the remote control transmitter 32. May not be turned on. In this case, if the electric device 9 is manually turned on first, the electric device 9 stores the ON state even if the remote control relay 30 is turned off. The electric device 9 can be turned on and off by the operation of. Also, when turning off,
The power button of the remote control transmitter 32 is pressed again. At this time, the remote control relay 30 is also turned off, and the O
Power is cut off before the FF state is determined,
The electric device 9 stores the ON state, and may cause an obstacle in operation. In order to prevent this, a delay relay is interposed in the remote control relay 30, and when a signal is received again from the remote control transmitter 32, the remote control relay 30 is turned off after a certain period of time. For example, the OFF state of the electric device 9 can be determined before the power is cut off, and stable remote control operation can be performed. In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is directly attached to the case body 2D. However, similarly to the second embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is fitted to the holder 29 to which the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is attached. The same effect can be obtained by fixing.
The same effect can be obtained even when the double-sided adhesive tape 8 is integrated with the double-sided adhesive tape 8A.

The tenth embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 28 differs from the ninth embodiment of the present invention in that the operation power of the remote control relay 30 and the remote control receiver 31 is changed by the power of the photoelectric converter 33. The point is to cover the cost. Thereby, there is an effect that the standby power for waiting for the remote control command can be made unnecessary.

The eleventh embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS.
In the embodiment, reference numeral 19 denotes a standby power detector. Reference numeral 6 denotes an insertion plug connected to the commercial power supply 11, a plug receiver 7 connected to the insertion plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 connected to one end of the insertion plug 6, and the plug receiver 7 and the plug receiver 7. It comprises a standby power detection circuit 24 and a standby power measurement circuit 25 connected between the other ends of the plugs 6.

The standby power detection circuit 24 is composed of a circuit in which a display lamp 4C using a neon lamp and a resistor A20 are connected in series, and a resistor B21 is connected in parallel with this. This circuit applies the method of directly passing a load current to a neon lamp or LED as a method of displaying the energization state of a small capacity load to the detection of standby power flowing to electrical equipment. is there. In this case, the neon lamp may be erroneously turned on due to the stray charge generated in the power cord of the electric device 9 of the other party. To prevent this, in order to prevent this, the resistor B21 is connected in parallel and the stray charge is inserted from the plug 6. Try to escape to commercial power.

The standby power measuring circuit 25 includes a resistor C2
2 and a measurement switch 23 are connected in series. This circuit is connected between the connection terminals of the resistor B21.
When the resistor C22 is additionally connected in parallel, the display lamp 4C is turned on when the standby power is equal to or higher than a certain value, but does not turn on when the standby power is equal to or lower than the certain value. This is applied to measurement of the magnitude of standby power. The measurement switch 23 allows the value to be known only when necessary. If the standby power measurement circuit 25 is connected while the power switch of the electric device 9 is turned on, the resistor C22 may generate heat. The switch is used to deal with erroneous operations.

In the embodiment, a resistor A20 for limiting the current is used.
A resistor of 100 k ohm was used for the resistor B21 for releasing floating charges, and a resistor of 9 k ohm was used for the resistor C22 of the standby power measurement circuit 25.

These are housed in a case 2H made of an insulator as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 31, the plug 6 is connected to the commercial power supply 11, the power switch of the electric device 9 to be checked is turned off, and the plug 10 of the power cord of the electric device 9 is plugged into the plug receiver 7. Connect to When the electric device 9 does not consume standby power, the display lamp 4C
