Description

  The present invention relates to an information communication device used by being attached to a wall.

  Conventionally, in this type of information communication device, for example, an interphone system is constructed by connecting to a door phone slave unit as a counterpart device installed outside the home using a signal line, and with the counterpart device (Interphone master unit) and the like (for example, see Patent Document 1). The information communication apparatus exemplified in Patent Document 1 is an embedded information communication apparatus that is attached in a form in which a rear portion of a vessel is embedded in a wall.

  In this type of information communication device, a setting switch for performing various communication settings related to communication is generally provided, and communication setting by the setting switch is performed at the time of installation work of the information communication device. As an example, when a plurality of information communication devices can be connected in series via a signal line to a single information communication device, such as an interphone sub-master device, impedance matching is performed in the terminal information communication device. The setting switch includes a termination setting switch for switching connection / disconnection of a termination circuit for taking, an identifier setting switch for setting an identifier for individually identifying each information communication device, and the like.

Therefore, the exposed panel P is mounted so as to cover the front surface of the main body module M.

  Here, the internal circuit of the information communication apparatus A is divided into a main body module M and an exposed panel P.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the main body module M includes an AC / DC power supply unit (power supply circuit) 34 that is connected to the power supply terminal unit 5 and supplies DC power to the internal circuit, and an upstream as an information port for exchanging information. And a signal processing unit 35 connected to the side terminal unit 6 and the downstream side terminal unit 7 for inputting and outputting audio signals and video signals. In the present embodiment, the audio signal and the video signal are multiplexed and transmitted on the signal lines L1 and L2.

A microphone amplifier 18d for amplifying the signal is provided.

  The exposed panel P has a panel side connector Cp1 for connecting the main body module M. The main body module M has a main body side connector Cm1 connected to the panel side connector Cp1, and the panel side connector Cp1 and the main body side connector Cm1 Are connected to each other so that the main body module M and the exposed panel P are electrically connected to each other, and a DC power is supplied to the exposed panel P from the AC / DC power supply unit 34. Here, the signal processing unit 35 and the AC / DC power supply unit 34 are connected to the main body side connector Cm1 in the main body module M, and the overall control unit 36 and the power receiving circuit unit are connected to the panel side connector Cp1 in the exposed panel P. 37 is connected.

  The main body side connector Cm1 is mounted on the circuit board in the body 3 of the main body module M, and is exposed to the front side of the main body module M through a hole provided in the cover 2. The panel-side connector Cp1 is disposed at a position where it abuts against the main body side connector Cm1 in a state where the exposed panel P is attached to the main body module M, and only by attaching the exposed panel P to the main body module M, the main body side connector Cm1 and The panel-side connector Cp1 comes into contact with each other to complete the electrical connection between the main body module M and the exposed panel P. Therefore, workability is improved as compared with the case where the work of attaching the exposed panel P to the main body module M and the work of electrically connecting the exposed panel P to the main body module M are performed separately.

  According to the configuration described above, the information communication apparatus A is divided into the main body module M and the exposed panel P. Therefore, by setting the main body module M as a common specification, the information communication apparatus can be replaced only by the exposed panel P. It becomes possible to easily change the function of A (for example, the screen size of the video display unit 12).

  By the way, the information communication apparatus A according to the present embodiment includes an upstream terminal unit 6 that connects the upstream apparatus and a downstream terminal unit 7 that connects the downstream apparatus, and is connected to one interphone master unit A ′. It is configured so that multiple units can be connected in series. Here, in the information communication apparatus A at the end of each system, in order to achieve impedance matching, it is necessary to connect an impedance element (here, a resistor) as the termination circuit 38 to the upstream terminal section 6 as shown in FIG. There is. In the present embodiment, as a configuration for setting connection / disconnection of the termination circuit 38, a termination setting switch 39 for switching whether or not the termination circuit 38 is connected to the upstream terminal unit 6 is provided.

  The termination setting switch 39 is provided in the main body module M, and is inserted between the termination circuit 38 and the upstream terminal portion 6 as shown in FIG. 1, and between the termination circuit 38 and the upstream terminal portion 6. It consists of a slide type dip switch with contacts to open and close. In the example of FIG. 1, a series circuit of a termination setting switch 39 and a termination circuit 38 is connected between a pair of terminals constituting the upstream terminal unit 6. In short, when the information communication apparatus A is terminated (that is, when the downstream apparatus is not connected to the downstream terminal unit 7), the user turns on the termination setting switch 39 of the information communication apparatus A. If the termination circuit 38 is connected to the upstream terminal section 6 to perform impedance matching, while the information communication apparatus A is not terminated (that is, the downstream apparatus is connected to the downstream terminal section 7), this information communication terminal It is possible to disconnect the termination circuit 38 from the upstream terminal section 6 by turning off the A termination setting switch 39.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in order to be able to identify a plurality of information communication devices A connected to one interphone master unit A ′ individually for communication, individual identifiers ( ID) can be set. Specifically, the information communication apparatus A includes an identifier setting switch 40 for setting an identifier, and is configured to use the identifier set by the identifier setting switch 40 as its own identifier.

  The identifier setting switch 40 is provided on the exposed panel P, and includes a slide type dip switch having a plurality of contacts so that an arbitrary identifier can be alternatively selected from a plurality of types of identifiers. The identifier setting switch 40 is connected to the overall control unit 36. The overall control unit 36 receives the contact output of the identifier setting switch 40 and recognizes the identifier selected by the identifier setting switch 40 as its own identifier. In short, the user can alternatively determine the identifier of the information communication apparatus A by operating the identifier setting switch 40 of the information communication apparatus A.

  Here, like the termination setting switch 39 and the identifier setting switch 40 described above, setting switches for performing communication settings relating to communication are at least on the front surface of the main body module M and the back surface of the exposed panel P as shown in FIG. It is arranged on one side. That is, the termination setting switch 39 provided in the main body module M is disposed on the front surface of the body 3 of the main body module M as shown in FIG. 1A, and the identifier setting switch 40 provided on the exposed panel P is As shown in FIG. 1B, the exposed panel P is disposed on the back surface of the panel case 10.

  According to this configuration, by removing the exposed panel P from the main body module M, it is possible to visually check the setting status of the setting switches (the terminal setting switch 39 and the identifier setting switch 40) even when the main body module M remains attached to the wall. Confirmation and operation of the setting switch can be performed. In short, without removing the main body module M from the wall, the setting status of the termination setting switch 39 (that is, the connection status of the termination circuit 38) and the setting status of the identifier setting switch 40 (that is, the set identifier) are visually confirmed. It is also possible to switch connection / disconnection of the termination circuit 38 and change the identifier.

  Moreover, since the setting switch is not exposed to the outside when the exposed panel P is attached to the main body module M, the user accidentally operates the setting switch after installing the information communication apparatus A, and the connection status and identifier of the termination circuit 38 Can be prevented from being changed by mistake, and dust can be prevented from accumulating on the setting switch. Furthermore, compared to the configuration in which the setting switch is disposed on the back surface of the main body module M, the area on which the setting switch is disposed (here, the front surface of the main body module M and the back surface of the exposed panel P) is large. It is possible to improve the operability by increasing the size of the switch, and to increase the items that can be set with the setting switch.

  The interphone base unit A ′ has the same basic configuration and function as the information communication apparatus A as the interphone sub-base unit described above, and does not include the termination circuit 38, the termination setting switch 39, and the identifier setting switch 40. Point, a point having a signal terminal part 6 ′ to which the communication line L0 connected to the counterpart device 50 is connected instead of the upstream terminal part 6, and an interphone sub-master unit (information communication) instead of the downstream terminal part 7 It differs from the information communication apparatus A in that it has an additional terminal section 7 ′ to which the first signal line L1 connected to the apparatus A) is connected.

(Embodiment 2)

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment, the termination setting switch 39 is provided on the back surface of the exposed panel P, although the setting status cannot be visually confirmed or operated with the main body module M attached to the wall. With respect to the identifier setting switch 40, the setting status can be visually confirmed and operated while the main body module M remains attached to the wall. When connecting the signal line L2 to the downstream terminal portion 7 provided on the back surface of the main body module M, it is necessary to remove the main body module M from the wall. Therefore, when connecting the signal line L2 to the downstream terminal portion 7 In addition, the termination setting switch 40 may be operated.

A configuration is adopted in which the contact ry <b> 1 opens and closes according to the operation of the switch 39. Specifically, the contact output of the termination setting switch 39 is input to the overall control unit 36, and the relay device of the body module M receives the output of the overall control unit 36 via the panel side connector Cp1 and the body side connector Cm1. Thus, the contact ry1 is opened and closed. When the termination setting switch 39 is turned on, the relay device receives the output of the overall control unit 36 and turns on the contact ry1.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 6, the termination setting switch 39 is arranged on the back surface of the panel case 10 of the exposed panel P so as to be juxtaposed with the identifier setting switch 40. Therefore, by removing the exposed panel P from the main body module M, even if the main body module M remains attached to the wall, the setting status of the setting switches (the terminal setting switch 39 and the identifier setting switch 40) can be visually confirmed and set. The switch can be operated. Moreover, since the setting switch is not exposed to the outside when the exposed panel P is attached to the main body module M, after the information communication apparatus A is installed, the user accidentally operates the setting switch to determine the connection status and identifier of the termination circuit 38. It is possible to prevent accidental changes.

  Other configurations and functions are the same as those of the information communication apparatus A of the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 4)
