Description

  The present invention relates to an electrical wiring system.

  Conventionally, an electrical outlet (hereinafter simply referred to as “outlet”) has been usually attached to a predetermined place of an electric wire from a distribution board.

  However, if the layout of the indoor furniture is changed, the outlet may be hidden by the furniture and cannot be used.

  Also, for example, with the spread of personal computers, printers, scanners and other personal computer peripherals are used together, and the number of outlets that have been installed indoors is often insufficient.

  For these reasons, it has become possible to connect a plurality of electrical appliances from a single outlet using a table tap.

  If a large amount of current flows through a single outlet circuit by using a table tap, there is a high possibility that the circuit will be interrupted by a breaker. There is a fear. In addition, electric shocks and fires can occur as secondary disasters. For this reason, care must be taken when using a table tap to pass a current through a plurality of electrical appliances with a single outlet.

  In addition, when a table tap is used to connect to a plurality of electrical appliances from a single outlet, a plurality of cords extend from the table tap toward each electrical appliance.

  Therefore, a technique for installing a plurality of outlets on a baseboard installed at a joint between a floor and a wall is known in order to remove such a harmful effect.

However, since the baseboard is provided at the lower part of the wall in contact with the floor, the outlet provided therein must be squatted by the user when inserting the plug of the electric appliance, and is not necessarily easy to use. Also, the large number of outlets installed per room does not give a good aesthetic depending on the size of the room. In addition, not all outlets are used at the same time. For this reason, there has been a demand for a technique that is easy to use and can prevent an outlet from being noticeable even if the number is large.
Utility Model Registration No. 3123361

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to make the outlet inconspicuous even if it is excellent in usability and is large in number.

Therefore, the present invention accommodates a wire for low-voltage indoor wiring and a plurality of outlets connected by the wire, and extends along the wall surface to the lower part of the wall in contact with the floor in each room of the building. An electrical wiring system having a baseboard-like accommodation portion attached to a wall surface with an opening for accommodation facing the room, and a detachable cover that closes the opening of the accommodation portion. The cover is attached to the opening of the housing portion relative to the outlet, and the outlet cover body has an opening for allowing the outlet of the outlet to face the indoor side in the attached state. The outlet cover body is flush with and continuously disposed, and is attached to the opening of the housing portion relative to a part other than the outlet housed in the housing portion. An outlet cover body that closes the opening of the housing portion in a state, and of the outlets housed in the housing portion, an outlet that is not normally used is the non-outlet cover body. It was set as the electrical wiring system characterized by being coat | covered with.

  According to the electrical wiring system of the present invention, the baseboard-like storage part (hereinafter referred to as baseboard-like storage part) is attached to the lower part of the wall in contact with the floor in each room and extends along the wall surface. It essentially functions as a baseboard installed at the joint between the floor and the wall.

  If there is an outlet that is not in use among a plurality of outlets that are accommodated in the baseboard-like accommodating part, the outlet is not provided with an opening in the accommodating part instead of the outlet cover body having an opening. Since it can be covered with a non-outlet cover body that closes, even if the number of outlets installed is larger than the length of the baseboard-like housing, unused outlets are hidden by the non-outlet cover body. You can make sure that it doesn't exist. Therefore, it is no longer a situation where the number of outlets installed is larger than the length of the baseboard-like accommodating portion.

  The outlet facing the outlet cover body may be an outlet whose insertion port faces obliquely upward. In this case, if the outlet cover body is attached, and the outlet outlet is exposed to the indoor side through the opening, the insertion direction of the plug of the appliance can be changed downward. It becomes easy to do.

  The electric wire connecting the outlets is provided with a branching device that branches the current in a direction crossing the connecting direction of the outlets, and the electric wire passing through the branching device extends above the baseboard-like housing portion, The electric wire that extends upward may be connected to an exposed outlet that is attached in a state of being exposed on the wall surface, for example, different from the outlet that is accommodated in the accommodating portion. By doing in this way, the installation range of an outlet can be expanded without being restricted only to a baseboard-shaped accommodating part.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the outlet can be made inconspicuous even if it is excellent in usability and the number of outlets installed is large.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an electrical wiring system of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The electrical wiring system I according to the present invention is applied to a house (building) such as an apartment. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrical wiring system I is a system incorporated in a so-called baseboard portion.

Specifically, the baseboard-like accommodation portion 1 is horizontally disposed along the wall surface 4 at the lower portion of the wall surface 4 in contact with the floor 3 in the house room 2. Further, the baseboard-like accommodation portion 1 accommodates at least an electric wire 5 for low-voltage indoor wiring and a plurality of outlets 6 connected by the electric wire 5. And the opening 11 of the baseboard-shaped accommodation part 1 is embedded in the wall surface 4 in the state which faced the indoor side so that the electric wire 5 and the electrical outlet 6 can be accommodated from the indoor side (refer FIG. 2), , Cover 12
Is detachably attached.

  The outlet 6 has positive and negative electrode portions and an insertion port 62 that is an exterior. In addition, about an electrode part, it is demonstrated with the code | symbol 61 by the term of the outlet 6A in which an insertion port faces diagonally upward (refer FIGS. 3-6).

  The cover 12 is composed of different types of cover bodies (two types in this embodiment). That is, the cover 12 is disposed continuously to the outlet cover body 121 and the outlet cover body 121 having an opening 121o facing the outlet 6 and facing the outlet 62 of the outlet 6 toward the indoor side, A non-outlet cover body 122 facing the parts other than the outlet 6 housed in the baseboard-like housing portion 1 is provided.

  Both of the cover bodies 121 and 122 are attached to and detached from the opening 11 of the baseboard-like accommodation portion 1 by the attachment / detachment pieces 121a and 122a. Then, when the outlet cover body 121 and the non-outlet cover body 122 are attached to the opening 11, the height dimensions of the cover bodies (cover body 121 and When 122 is attached to the opening 11 of the baseboard-like accommodation part 1, the amount by which both cover bodies 121 and 122 protrude from the opening 11 is determined. In addition, as components other than the outlet 6, the electric wire 5 and the branching device 9 mentioned later can be illustrated.

  Further, in this embodiment, an example in which two outlets 6 are installed in one baseboard-like housing part is illustrated, but the number of outlets 6 is larger than a prescribed number compared to the length dimension of the baseboard-like housing part 1. It can be placed in. In that case, the large number of outlets 6 may be noticeable, but by covering the outlets 6 that are not in use with the cover member 122 for non-outlets, the outlets 6 are concealed, and their existence is not known. It can be lost. Therefore, it is not a situation where the number of outlets 6 is large compared to the length of the baseboard-like accommodation portion (or the size of the room) (see FIG. 2).

  Further, the electric wire 5 connecting the outlets 6 is provided with a branching device 9 for branching the current in a direction (vertical direction) crossing the connecting direction of the outlets. Further, an exposed type in which an electric wire (flat cable 10 in this embodiment) that passes through the branching device 9 extends above the baseboard-like accommodating portion 1 and the flat cable 10 is exposed to the wall surface 4 is provided. It can be connected to the outlet 6B. In this way, the installation range of the outlet can be expanded. Reference numeral 101 denotes a cross for attaching the flat cable 10 to the wall surface 4. A plurality of crosses 101 are used according to the length of the flat cable 10.

  Further, if the outlet 6A has an insertion port that faces obliquely upward, the plug direction of the electric appliance can be changed downward, so that the electric appliance plug can be easily inserted into the insertion port 62 ( (See FIG. 3). For this reason, even if it is the outlet provided in the baseboard-shaped accommodating part 1 provided in the lower part of the wall 4 which touches the floor 3, it is easy to use.

  Next, a procedure for installing the outlet according to such an electrical wiring system I in the baseboard-like housing part 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 exemplify the case of the outlet 6A in which the insertion port faces obliquely upward.

  Procedure 1: The baseboard-like accommodation part 1 is horizontally attached to the lower part of the wall 4 in contact with the floor 3 in the house room 2 along the wall surface. At this time, the electric wire 5 for low-voltage indoor wiring is passed through the interior of the baseboard-like housing part 1 (see FIG. 4).

Procedure 2: The outlet 6A is assembled in the baseboard-like accommodation part 1 by screws or other fixing means (see FIG. 5). In FIG. 5, only the electrode part 61 which is a constituent member of the outlet 6A is shown.

  Procedure 3: The electric wire 5 for low voltage indoor wiring is connected to the plus and minus of the electrode part 61 of the outlet 6A (see FIG. 6).

  Procedure 4: The insertion port 62 is attached to the electrode part 61, the outlet cover body 121 is covered with the outlet 6A of the baseboard-like storage part 1, and the other part is covered with the non-outlet cover body 122 (see FIG. 7), the outlet 6A is attached to the baseboard-like accommodating portion 1 (see FIG. 8).

Next, the effect of the electrical wiring system I having such a configuration will be described.
According to the electrical wiring system I, the baseboard-like accommodating part 1 is attached to the lower part of the wall 4 in contact with the floor 3 in each room 2 and extends horizontally along the wall surface. It functions as a baseboard to be installed in.

  Further, the unused outlet 6 (or 6A) among the plurality of outlets 6 can be covered with the non-outlet cover body 122 instead of the outlet cover body 121 with the opening, so that even the baseboard-like storage portion Even if the number of outlets 6 installed is too large compared to the length of 1, the outlet 6 that is not used can be hidden by the non-outlet cover body 122 so that its presence cannot be known. Therefore, the situation in which the number of outlets 6 installed is larger than the length of the baseboard-like accommodating portion 1 is eliminated.

  In addition, although the cover body 121 for outlets illustrated what has the opening part 121o, using the same cover body as the cover body 121 for outlets except the point which does not have the opening part 121o, the outline of the opening part 121o among the said cover bodies It is also possible to put a deletion line or a perforation line in the part corresponding to, and use this as a covering cover before adding outlets. In this case, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the number of outlets 6 installed is large compared to the length of the baseboard-like accommodation unit 1. When it is necessary to increase the number of outlets, a cut is made in the deletion line or perforation line, and the outlet cover body 121 having the opening 121o described above is used. By doing in this way, the use of a cover body spreads and it is convenient.

  Moreover, if the outlet 6A with the insertion port 62 facing diagonally upward is used, it is easy to insert the plug of the electric appliance even when the outlet 6A is provided in the baseboard-like housing part 1 located at the lower part of the wall 4, so that the elderly Easy to use for people and sick people.

  The branch device 9 is connected to a flat cable 10 that intersects with the electric wire 5 and extends upward, and the flat cable 10 extends above the baseboard-like housing 1 and is connected to the exposed outlet 6B. The range of outlets can be expanded. For example, even if the outlet 6 provided in the baseboard-like housing 1 is hidden by a desk or the like and cannot be used, the installation position of the exposed outlet 6B is set higher than the desk as shown in FIG. If set, the exposed outlet 6B can be used because it is not hidden behind the desk. Therefore, it is easy to use.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples described above, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, an apartment has been described as an example. However, a building to which the present invention is applied uses a wooden frame that uses wood as a member of a main frame and includes main columns, girders, and beams as components.
