DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring duct with an outlet for guiding and protecting an electric wire when the electric wire is connected to a wall or a floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, an opening 43 is formed in a wiring duct 41 in a longitudinal direction of a housing 42 for guiding and housing electric wires. Engaged and closed. Outlet 4 for lid 44
The plug insertion surface 46 of No. 5 was provided substantially flush with the surface of the lid 44, and the plug insertion port 47 of the outlet 45 was exposed.

[0003]

In the conventional outlet 45 of the wiring duct 41, since the plug insertion port 47 of the outlet 45 is exposed, when the power plug 48 is not inserted into the outlet 45, the plug is not inserted. Outlet 4
Dust easily accumulates in the device 7, and if the power plug 48 is inserted with the dust accumulated, the device may not operate properly due to poor contact. Further, when the power plug 48 is inserted into the outlet 45, dust easily accumulates between different poles of the power plug 48, which may cause a short circuit accident.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional outlets for wiring ducts, an object of the present invention is to provide a plug outlet of an outlet with dust when the outlet is used or not used. Provided is an outlet for a wiring duct that can prevent accumulation, the structure of which is a storage body provided with an opening in the longitudinal direction for guiding and storing electric wires, and a lid closing the opening of the storage body. And a cover is provided on the cover so as to cover the plug insertion port of the outlet in the wiring duct including the outlet provided on the cover.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a wiring duct, an opening is formed in a longitudinal direction of a housing for guiding and housing an electric wire, and the opening is closed by engaging a lid. An opening is formed in the lid,
An outlet is provided at the back of the opening, and a cover is provided on the opening so as to be openable and closable so as to cover the outlet of the outlet.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First Embodiment of Outlet of Wiring Duct According to the Present Invention
An embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGS.

The wiring duct 1 has an opening 3 formed in a longitudinal direction of a housing 2 for guiding and housing the electric wires, and the opening 3 is closed by a lid 4 being engaged. A substantially rectangular opening 5 is formed in the lid 4, and a cover 6 is hinged to the upper and lower edges of the opening 5 so that the cover 6 can be opened and closed.

An outlet 7 is provided at the back of the cover 6, and a power plug 8 can be inserted and removed from the opening 5.
The cover 6 is provided with a spring (not shown) on the back side. When the power plug 8 is not inserted into the outlet 7, the cover 6 closes almost flush with the lid 4 by the spring force. Since the plug insertion port 9 of the outlet 7 is completely covered by the cover 6, dust can be prevented from accumulating in the plug insertion port 9. Also, since the outlet 7 is not exposed, the appearance is excellent.

In order to insert the power plug 8 into the outlet 7, the power plug 8 is pushed in from the surface of the cover 6. Since the cover 6 opens backward, the power plug 8 can be inserted into the outlet 7. Remove the finger from the opening 5 and the cover 6
Is closed again by the force of the spring, and hits the power cord 10 and stops. Here, a small gap is formed between the upper and lower covers 6, but since this gap is small, dust hardly enters. If rubber or the like is used as the material of the cover 6, the cover 6 conforms to the shape of the power cord 10, so that the gap between the covers 6 is reduced and the sealing performance can be improved.

In this embodiment, two covers 6 are used and provided at the upper and lower edges of the opening, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 4B, a single cover 13 may be hinged to the upper edge of the opening 12 of the lid 11 so as to be openable and closable, and the opening 12 may be closed. ) Lid 2
A substantially triangular cover 23 may be hinged to each of the four edges of one opening 22 so as to be openable and closable, and the opening 22 may be closed.
Also, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the shape of the cover can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such as closing the opening 32 of the lid 31 with a slidable cover 33. .

In this embodiment, a spring is provided on the back side of the cover so as to maintain the covering state. However, by forming the cover with rubber or the like, the spring is not used, or the cover other than the spring is used. An elastic body may be used.

[0012]

As described above, the outlet of the wiring duct according to the present invention has a housing provided with an opening in the longitudinal direction for guiding and housing the electric wire, a cover for closing the opening of the housing,
In the wiring duct consisting of the outlet provided on the lid,
By providing a cover on the lid to cover the plug outlet of the outlet, it is aesthetically pleasing, and dust does not collect in the outlet of the outlet regardless of whether the outlet is used or not Therefore, the present invention has an excellent effect that it is possible to prevent a contact failure and a short circuit accident from occurring.
