The present invention is a wiring fixture adapter mounted on a wiring fixture connected to an external DC supply line. First, an indoor DC power distribution system will be described.

  The DC power distribution system shown below assumes a house of a detached house as a building, but does not prevent the technical idea of the present invention from being applied to an apartment house. As shown in FIG. 2, the house H is provided with a DC power supply unit 101 that outputs DC power and a DC device 102 as a load driven by the DC power, and an output end of the DC power supply unit 101. DC power is supplied to the DC device 102 through the DC supply line Wdc connected to the. A current flowing through the DC supply line Wdc is monitored between the DC power supply unit 101 and the DC device 102. When an abnormality is detected, power is supplied from the DC power supply unit 101 to the DC device 102 on the DC supply line Wdc. A DC breaker 114 is provided for limiting or blocking the current.

  The DC supply line Wdc is used as a DC power feed path 12 and also as a communication path, and is connected to the DC supply line Wdc by superimposing a communication signal for transmitting data on a DC voltage using a high-frequency carrier wave. Communication between connected devices. This technique is similar to a power line carrier technique in which a communication signal is superimposed on an AC voltage in a power line that supplies AC power.

  The DC supply line Wdc is connected to the home server 116 via the DC power supply unit 101. The in-home server 116 is a main device for constructing a home communication network (hereinafter referred to as “home network”), and communicates with a subsystem constructed by the DC device 102 in the home network.

  In the example shown in the figure, the sub-system includes an information device system K101 including an information-system DC device 102 such as a personal computer, a wireless access point, a router, and an IP telephone, and an illumination system including a lighting-system DC device 102 such as a lighting fixture 102a. There are systems K102 and K105, an entrance system K103 composed of a DC device 102 for handling visitors and monitoring intruders, a residential alarm system K104 composed of an alarm DC device 102 such as a fire detector, and the like. Each subsystem constitutes a self-supporting distributed system, and can operate even with the subsystem alone.

  The above-described DC breaker 114 is provided in association with a subsystem. In the illustrated example, four DCs are associated with the information equipment system K101, the lighting system K102 and the entrance system K103, the house alarm system K104, and the lighting system K105. A breaker 114 is provided. When a plurality of subsystems are associated with one DC breaker 114, a connection box 121 for dividing the system of the DC supply line Wdc is provided for each subsystem. In the illustrated example, a connection box 121 is provided between the illumination system K102 and the entrance system K103.

  As the information equipment system K101, there is provided an information equipment system K101 composed of a DC equipment 102 connected to a DC outlet 131 arranged in advance in the house H (constructed when the house H is constructed) in the form of a wall outlet or a floor outlet.

  As the lighting systems K102 and K105, the lighting system K102 including the lighting fixture 102a as the DC device 102 arranged in advance in the house H, and the lighting fixture 102a (DC device 102) connected to the hook ceiling 1 arranged in advance on the ceiling. And an illumination system K105. When the interior of the house H is constructed, the contractor attaches the lighting fixture 102a to the hook ceiling 1 or the housekeeper attaches the lighting fixture 102a.

  A control instruction for the luminaire 102a, which is the DC device 102 constituting the lighting system K102, can be given using a communication signal from the switch 141 connected to the DC supply line Wdc, as well as using an infrared remote control device. That is, the switch 141 has a communication function together with the DC device 102. In addition, a control instruction may be given by a communication signal from another DC device 102 in the home network or the home server 116 regardless of the operation of the switch 141. The instructions to the lighting fixture 102a include lighting, extinguishing, dimming, blinking lighting, and the like.

  Arbitrary DC equipment 102 can be connected to the DC outlet 131 and the hooking ceiling 1 described above, and since DC power is output to the connected DC equipment 102, the DC outlet 131 and the hooking ceiling 1 are distinguished below. When it is not necessary, it is called “DC outlet”.

  These DC outlets have a plug-in connection port into which a contact (not shown) provided directly on the DC device 102 or a contact (not shown) provided via a connection line is inserted into the body. The contact receiver that directly contacts the contact inserted into the connection port is held by the container. That is, the direct current outlet supplies power in a contact manner. When the DC device 102 connected to the DC outlet has a communication function, a communication signal can be transmitted through the DC supply line Wdc. A communication function is provided not only in the DC device 102 but also in the DC outlet.

  The home server 116 not only is connected to the home network, but also has a connection port connected to the wide area network NT that constructs the Internet. When the in-home server 116 is connected to the wide area network NT, it is possible to receive services from the center server 200 that is a computer server connected to the wide area network NT.

  The service provided by the center server 200 includes a service that enables monitoring and control of equipment (including mainly the DC equipment 102 but also other equipment having a communication function) connected to the home network through the wide area network NT. is there. This service makes it possible to monitor and control devices connected to the home network using a communication terminal (not shown) having a browser function such as a personal computer, Internet TV, or mobile phone.

  The in-home server 116 has both functions of communication with the center server 200 connected to the wide area network NT and communication with equipment connected to the home network, and identification information about equipment in the home network ( Here, it is assumed that an IP address is used).

  The home server 116 enables monitoring and control of home devices through the center server 200 from a communication terminal connected to the wide area network NT by using a communication function with the center server 200. The center server 200 mediates between home devices and communication terminals on the wide area network NT.

  When monitoring and controlling home devices from a communication terminal, monitoring and control requests are stored in the center server 200, and the home device periodically performs one-way polling communication to monitor from the communication terminal. And receive control requests. With this operation, it is possible to monitor and control devices in the house from the communication terminal.

  Further, when an event that should be notified to the communication terminal, such as a fire detection, occurs in the home device, the home device notifies the center server 200, and the center server 200 notifies the communication terminal by e-mail.

  An important function among the communication functions with the home network in the home server 116 is the detection and management of the devices constituting the home network. The home server 116 automatically detects devices connected to the home network by applying UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). The home server 116 includes a display device 117 having a browser function, and displays a list of detected devices on the display device 117. The display device 117 has a configuration with a touch panel type or an operation unit, and can perform an operation of selecting desired contents from options displayed on the screen of the display device 117. Therefore, the user (contractor or householder) of the home server 116 can monitor or control the device on the screen of the display device 117. The display device 117 may be provided separately from the home server 116.

  The in-home server 116 manages information related to device connection, and grasps the type, function, and address of the device connected to the home network. Accordingly, the devices in the home network can be operated in conjunction with each other. Information on the connection of the device is automatically detected as described above. In order to operate the device in an interlocking manner, the device itself is automatically associated with the attribute held by the device itself, and the home server 116 is configured as a personal computer. It is also possible to connect various information terminals and use the browser function of the information terminals to associate devices.

  Each device holds the relationship of the interlocking operation of the devices. Therefore, the device can operate in an interlocked manner without passing through the home server 116. By associating the linked operations with each device, for example, by operating a switch that is a device, it is possible to turn on or off the lighting fixture 102a that is the device. In many cases, the association of the interlocking operations is performed within the subsystem, but the association beyond the subsystem is also possible.

  By the way, the DC power supply unit 101 basically generates DC power by power conversion of an AC power supply AC supplied from outside the house like a commercial power supply. In the illustrated example, the AC power source AC is input to an AC / DC converter 112 including a switching power source through a main circuit breaker 111 attached to the distribution board 110 as an internal unit. The DC power output from the AC / DC converter 112 is connected to each DC breaker 114 through the cooperative control unit 113.

  The DC power supply unit 101 is provided with a secondary battery 162 in preparation for a period in which power is not supplied from the AC power supply AC (for example, a power failure period of the commercial power supply AC). It is also possible to use a solar cell 161 or a fuel cell 163 that generates DC power. The solar battery 161, the secondary battery 162, and the fuel battery 163 are distributed power supplies with respect to the main power supply including the AC / DC converter 112 that generates DC power from the AC power supply AC. In the illustrated example, the solar cell 161, the secondary battery 162, and the fuel cell 163 include a circuit unit that controls the output voltage, and the secondary battery 162 includes a circuit unit that controls charging as well as discharging.

  Of the distributed power sources, the solar cell 161 and the fuel cell 163 are not necessarily provided, but the secondary battery 162 is preferably provided. The secondary battery 162 is charged in a timely manner by a main power source or other distributed power source, and the secondary battery 162 is discharged not only in a period in which power is not supplied from the AC power source AC but also in a timely manner as necessary. The coordination control unit 113 performs charge / discharge of the secondary battery 162 and coordination between the main power source and the distributed power source. That is, the cooperative control unit 113 functions as a DC power control unit that controls the distribution of power from the main power source and the distributed power source constituting the DC power supply unit 101 to the DC device 102. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which the outputs of the solar cell 161, the secondary battery 162, and the fuel cell 163 are converted into AC power and used as input power of the AC / DC converter 112.

  Since the driving voltage of the DC device 102 is selected from a plurality of types of voltages depending on the device, a DC / DC converter is provided in the cooperative control unit 113 to convert the DC voltage obtained from the main power source and the distributed power source into a necessary voltage. Is desirable. Normally, one type of voltage is supplied to one subsystem (or DC device 102 connected to one DC breaker 114), but three or more wires are used for one subsystem. A plurality of types of voltages may be supplied. Alternatively, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the DC supply line Wdc is of a two-wire type and the voltage applied between the lines is changed with time. The DC / DC converter may be provided in a plurality of dispersed manners like the DC breaker.

  In the above configuration example, only one AC / DC converter 112 is illustrated, but a plurality of AC / DC converters 112 can be arranged in parallel, and when a plurality of AC / DC converters 112 are provided. It is desirable to increase or decrease the number of AC / DC converters 112 that are operated according to the magnitude of the load.

  The AC / DC converter 112, the cooperative control unit 113, the DC breaker 114, the solar cell 161, the secondary battery 162, and the fuel cell 163 described above are provided with a communication function, and include a main power source, a distributed power source, and a DC device 102. It is possible to perform cooperative operations that deal with the load status. The communication signal used for this communication is transmitted in the form of being superimposed on the DC voltage in the same manner as the communication signal used for the DC device 102.

  In the above example, the AC / DC converter 112 is arranged in the distribution board 110 in order to convert the AC power output from the main breaker 111 into DC power by the AC / DC converter 112. On the output side, a branch breaker (not shown) provided in the distribution board 110 branches the AC supply line into a plurality of systems, and an AC / DC converter is provided on the AC supply line of each system to convert it into DC power for each system. You may employ | adopt the structure to do.

  In this case, since the DC power supply unit 101 can be provided for each floor or room of the house H, the DC power supply unit 101 can be managed for each system, and the DC device 102 that uses DC power and Since the distance of the DC supply line Wdc between the two is reduced, the power loss due to the voltage drop in the DC supply line Wdc can be reduced. Also, the main breaker 111 and the branch breaker are housed in the distribution board 110, and the AC / DC converter 112, the cooperative control unit 113, the DC breaker 114, and the home server 116 are housed in a separate board from the distribution board 110. Also good.

  Next, the wiring fixture adapter 1 of this invention is demonstrated.

In response to the detection signal, the power supply control unit 5 opens the switch 13, cuts off the power supply to the DC device 102, and turns off the lighting fixture 102a. In the present embodiment, power is supplied from the DC supply line Wdc via the sensor circuit 41, but may be directly connected to the DC supply line Wdc.

  When the human body detection sensor 42 detects a human body, a detection signal corresponding to human body detection is output from the sensor circuit 41 and input to the power supply control unit 5.
