Description

  The present invention relates to a wiring system capable of simultaneously transmitting information and load power.

  In a system that controls (monitors) the load through a terminal, a transmission signal consisting of a baseband signal of multiple poles is sent from the central monitoring device to the terminal by time division multiplexing, and each terminal uses this transmission signal. There is a system that exchanges information and obtains a power supply for the terminal circuit unit (see Patent Document 1 below).

In this system, an operation terminal provided with operation switches and the like is embedded in a wall surface by using a switch box standardized for an embedded wiring apparatus and a mounting frame corresponding to the switch box. It is designed to be used in the same way as the wall switch. When installing two sets of operation terminals, use a double mounting frame with two mounting windows, attach a series of one side of the mounting frame to a series of switch boxes, and attach the other side to the wall. It has been arranged so that the two operation terminals are provided side by side by arranging the operation terminals on the respective mounting windows. In addition, by bringing the conductive pieces provided between the mounting windows into contact with the lead pieces of the operating terminal provided on the mounting windows on both sides, from one operating terminal (switch box side) to the other operating terminal. The signal line is sent and wired.
Japanese Patent No. 3136006 (paragraph numbers 0004, 0005, 0015, FIGS. 1 and 37)

  By the way, although the above-mentioned system can supply power to the terminal circuit unit of the terminal device by the transmission signal, for example, the power supply to the load controlled by the control terminal device due to the limitation of the current capacity of the signal line, etc. In each installation location, the power is supplied from a commercial power source. Therefore, since it is only necessary to connect two signal lines between the terminals, the wiring of the signal lines can be reduced, but the arrangement of the power supply lines with respect to the load remains the same, so the control terminal There was a problem that the installation place of the vessel was limited.

  Moreover, the terminal has only a function of taking in data from the monitoring target or controlling the load based on the control data, and does not have its own function. In addition, ordinary power outlets, switches, and the like were only supplied with power, and signal lines were not connected. In this case, if the user intends to add or expand a system having a specific function such as an extension call system, a disaster prevention system, or a crime prevention system in the future, a separate signal is provided for each system. The necessary terminals must be installed by wiring the wires, and not only the wiring installation work becomes large and time-consuming, but also the wiring after installation becomes very complicated.

  Furthermore, for example, when the system is initially constructed as an extension call system and later a function as a disaster prevention system is added, a terminal different from the terminal and load already used as the extension call system is used. Equipment and loads are required and must be installed in each room. Then, a plurality of loads having the same function (video function, ringing function, etc.) are installed in one room.

  When each control module transmits different control information to the functional module, each functional module that has received the different control information performs a specific operation by performing a function based on the received control information. Therefore, since each functional module can be operated according to the control means of each control module, a system according to the control means of each control module can be formed, and system expansion becomes easy.

  Moreover, it is preferable that at least one functional module has a connector for forming power transmission to other functional modules and signal transmission between other functional modules, and is detachably connected to the other functional modules. .

It is like that. That is, the connection ports of the respective power feeding means and the connection ports of the information signal transmission means are connected to each other.

  The light receiving element LED and the light emitting element PD are arranged so that the positions of the light receiving element LED and the light emitting element PD are opposite to each other on both sides of the module main body 8a. On the left side, the light receiving element LED is on the bottom and the light emitting element PD is on the top. And the arrangement position of the front-end | tip part of the core 801 which comprises an electromagnetic coupling part, and the up-and-down space | interval of the arrangement position of light receiving element LED and light emitting element PD are standardized.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, the rear surface of the module main body 8a of the control module 8 is formed to be a flat surface so as to follow the wall surface. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the control module 8 is not provided with a connector that can be connected to the connecting portion 3 </ b> A of the gate device 3. A connector may be provided so that it can be directly connected to the gate device 3.

  Further, on both upper and lower ends of the module body 8a, a connecting groove portion 811 composed of a wide groove 811a and a narrow groove 811b is provided. The shape of the connecting groove portion 811 is the same as that of the connecting groove portion 511 of the functional module 5, and thus the description thereof is omitted. However, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the connecting groove 811 of the control module 8 is provided with a lid portion 813 that opens and closes the opening of the groove. The lid 813 is opened when the cover is removed, and the lid 813 is closed when the attached state of the connector 20 is maintained. Thereby, the control module 8 can be attached to and detached from the functional module 5.

  The wiring system 1 is formed by appropriately connecting the gate device 3, the functional module 5, and the control module 8 configured as described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the power contact portion constituting the connector 5 </ b> A of the functional module 5 at the power path connection port 31 and the information path connection port 32 constituting the connection portion 3 </ b> A of the gate device 3. 51 and the information contacted part 52 are respectively coupled. Thereby, the functional module 5 is connected to the power line L1 and the information line L2 via the connection part 3A of the gate device 3. And as shown in FIG. 1, each functional module 5 connected to each of the some gate apparatus 3 arrange | positioned in various places indoors will be in the state mutually connected by the power line L1 and the information line L2.

  As described above, when the functional module 5 is connected to the gate device 3, the power path and the information path can be secured at the same time. Further, since the connecting portion 3A of the gate device 3 and the connector 5A of the functional module 5 are modularized so as to be compatible with each other, the functional module 5 can be connected to any gate device 3, and layout is free and easy to work. An excellent wiring system 1 can be obtained.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the half of one side of the coupling body 20 is fitted into the coupling groove 511 of the functional module 5 until it hits the partition wall 512. Then, the functional module 5 and the control module 8 are mechanically connected by fitting the remaining half of the coupling body 20 into the coupling groove 811 of the control module 8.

  When the modules 5 and 8 are connected in this manner, the functional module 5 and the control module 8 are in a state in which the magnetic coupling portions X and X on the side surfaces facing each other and the transparent portions Y and Y are connected to each other. Become. Therefore, the functional module 5 and the control module 8 can perform non-contact power feeding and non-contact communication. Thus, when non-contact power feeding and non-contact communication are performed between modules, contact failure can be suppressed, and transmission of power and transmission / reception of information signals can be reliably performed.

  In this way, the connecting portion 3A of the gate device 3 connected to the power line L1 and the information line L2 and the connector 5A of the functional module 5 are connected, and the functional module 5 and the control module 8 are contactlessly fed and contactlessly communicated. Thus, the control module 8 can receive power from the power line L1 and exchange information signals with the information line L2. That is, when the control module 8 is connected to the information line L2 through the function module 5, the function unit 808 of the control module 8 controls each function module 5 connected to each gate device 3 through the information line L2. As a result, the function modules 5 operate in association with each other, and thus a function as a system corresponding to the operation program stored in the function unit 808 of the control module 8 is obtained as follows.

  For example, when the operation program stored in the function unit 808 of the control module 8 is a program for extension calls, as shown in FIG. 1, the function module 5 (voice module 6) having notification means and the operation means are connected. An extension call can be made by preparing the function module 5 (operation module 7). That is, the functional unit 808 of the control module 8 controls the function module 5 having the notification means and the function module 5 having the operation means to operate in cooperation with each other, whereby the wiring system 1 having the extension call function is formed. .

  In this case, when the indoor call button SWd of one operation module 7 is pressed, the CPU unit 708a sounds another voice module 6 installed at another location based on an operation input from the indoor call switch SWd. The call signal is generated, and this call signal is transmitted to the control module 8. In the function unit 808 of the control module 8 that has received the call signal, the CPU unit 808a generates a control signal as control information for causing the ringing sound to be transmitted to another voice module 6 through the information line L2.
