JP2009158448A - Outlet for saving power of electric product - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device cutting wasteful power consumption of an electric product, in particular, automatically stopping unnecessary power consumption of an electric product when no person is present. <P>SOLUTION: The outlet with a sensor and a relay integrated with it is mounted in the vicinity of an electric product such as a stove, a luminaire or an electric fan, the plug of the electric product is inserted into the outlet, the sensor works when a person is present to carry a current, and, when no person is present, the current-carrying is stopped. The appliance includes the sensor, the relay, a plurality of insertion openings, the plug, and a stopper (a magnet, a double-sided tape or a hook and loop fastener). A brightness, sound or vibration sensor is used for the sensor and can respond to various applications. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to an outlet serving as a switch by an integrated outlet including various sensors and relays.

Conventional outlets are simple bifurcated, trifurcated, and other manual on / off type taps with a switch. However, when controlled by an electrical appliance on / off switch, the manual operation provides instant response. I couldn't do it, so I was disappointed and wasted power. This means that there was a great loss when using electrical products with high power consumption, such as when using an electric stove.

Electric appliances are controlled by attaching sensors and relays to outlets to save energy. A conventional simple outlet has only a bifurcated or three-pronged plug, and only distributes electricity. However, by connecting a sensor and a relay to the outlet itself, the power supply to the electrical product is controlled. It is a thing to do. In particular, electric fan stoves and radiant heat electric stoves use a large amount of wattage, and turning them on and off automatically can be a very effective power saving. If a vibration sensor is attached, lighting fixtures can be turned on automatically due to earthquakes, which is effective for evacuation.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In the present invention, when an electric appliance is used and a person leaves it, electricity can be turned on and off automatically by a sensor. Even if the appliance is not equipped with a device, it is possible to control the sensor immediately using this instrument. Furthermore, various uses can be expected depending on the type of sensor. For example, a vibration sensor is used for flashing lighting fixtures in the event of an earthquake and is effective during evacuation.
