BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outlet for floor wiring.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when wiring is performed on a floor in a room, FIG.
As shown in, the electric wire from the floor duct or floor box is branched into L (or T-branch or cross-branch) in the floor wiring box (branch box) 70 or drawn out from under the floor to the floor F, A floor wiring outlet 90 at the end through a floor wiring duct (wire protector) 80
Guided inside and connected. The floor wiring outlet 90 includes a plug connection device 95 having a plug blade insertion port on the front surface. A plug (not shown) at the end of a power cord of the device is inserted into the plug blade insertion port to supply power.

The installation of the floor wiring outlet 90 is performed as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom piece 91 a of the base plate 91 having the bottom piece 91 a and the side piece 91 b is fixed to the floor surface F, the plug piece 95 is attached to the side piece 91 b, and a connector (not shown). The electric wire W is connected to the plug connection device 95 via a connector, the box body is attached, the box-shaped body 93 is attached to the bottom piece 91a with the screw 100, and then the top plate (decorative plate) 94 is attached. By doing,
The installation of the floor wiring outlet 90 is completed.

[0004]

However, the conventional floor wiring outlet 90 has a problem in that the wire connection processing and the extra length processing cannot be performed smoothly. The reason why the electric wire connection process cannot be performed smoothly is that the connector (feed connection connector) is not fixed, and it is difficult to work due to grind.

[0005] The reason why the excess wire processing cannot be performed smoothly is that it is difficult to secure a sufficient excess processing space because the connector in a suspended state in the box is in the way. In view of the above circumstances,
An object of the present invention is to provide an outlet for floor wiring capable of smoothly performing a wire joining process and a surplus length process.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, a floor wiring outlet installed on a floor according to the present invention has a bottom piece fixed to the floor surface and side pieces rising from an end of the bottom piece. A base plate and a box body attached to the base plate, a plug connection device is attached to the side piece, and an electric wire is connected to the plug connection device via a connector arranged in the box body. In the configuration, the bottom piece of the base plate is provided with a receiving portion into which the bottom of the connector is fitted, and the bottom of the plug connection device fixed to the side piece abuts on the upper surface of the connector fitted in the receiving portion. Make sure the connector is secure.

In the floor wiring outlet of the present invention, the number of plug connection devices may be one or more. Usually, the box main body is composed of a box-shaped body having an opening on the upper surface and a top plate (decorative plate) which is put on the body so as to cover the opening, but is not limited thereto. The base plate is usually formed of a metal material, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed of, for example, a resin material.

The base plate may be fixed to the floor by a screwing method or a method of bonding with a double-sided adhesive tape, but is not limited thereto.

[0009]

In the floor wiring outlet of the present invention, the connector (feed connection connector) arranged in the box body is fitted into the receiving portion of the bottom piece of the base plate, and the bottom of the plug connecting device is brought into contact with the receiving portion and the plug connecting device. Fix the connector by holding it with. Since the fixed connector has no unevenness, it becomes very easy to perform the wire connection process. Moreover,
The connector which is fixed and does not move around does not hinder the securing of the extra length processing space, and always secures a sufficient space, so that the extra length treatment of the electric wire becomes very easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A concrete example of a floor wiring outlet according to the present invention will be described below. This invention is, of course, not limited to the following embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a configuration around a base plate of an outlet for floor wiring according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a state where the base plate is viewed from above.

As shown in FIG. 1, a base plate 1 of a floor wiring outlet according to an embodiment has a bottom piece 1a fixed to a floor surface and a side piece 1b rising from an end of the bottom piece 1a. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom piece 1 a of the base plate 1 is provided with two receiving portions where the bottom of the connector 41 just fits at a position closer to one side and below the plug connection device. The receiving part is provided with a rectangular recess 11 adjacent to the outside center of each side of the recess 11.
It is composed of two projections 12. The depression 11
In the figure, an opening 14 is provided in the center, the bottom is removed, and the hook portion 13 is provided only in the periphery. For example, a step is provided so that the surface of the hook portion 13 drops by about 0.6 mm compared to the surface of the bottom piece 1a.

The connector 41 arranged in the box body
As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of the plug is fitted to the receiving portion, and then the plug connecting device 51 is attached to the side piece 1b. Two cutouts (not shown) are provided in the side piece 1b of the base plate 1, and two plug connection devices 51 are attached so as to fit into the cutouts. The bottom of the plug connecting device 51 attached to the side piece 1b of the base plate 1 just hits the upper surface of the connector 41 fitted in the receiving portion, and as shown in FIG. 3, the connector 41 is held between the receiving portion and the plug connecting device. Will be fixed. As a result, as described above, the wire connection work and the extra length processing are facilitated. In FIG. 3,
The electric wire 55 is an electric wire connecting between the connector 41 and the plug connection device 51.

Thereafter, as in the prior art (for example, as shown in FIG. 4), the box body is attached by attaching the box-shaped body 93 to the bottom piece 1a with the screw 100, and then the top plate (decorative plate) 94 Is completed by completing the installation of the floor wiring outlet. In addition, in the case of the floor wiring outlet of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a connector and a plug connection device may be sold in a state of being pre-installed on a base plate, or a connector and a plug connection device may be mounted on a base plate. Although they may be sold in a state of being unsorted, it goes without saying that any case is included in the scope of the present invention.

[0014]

As described above, in the floor wiring outlet according to the present invention, the connector arranged in the box body is fixed by the receiving portion of the bottom piece of the base plate and the plug connection device, and the connector is less likely to be uneven. This makes it very easy to join the wires, and the fixed and immovable connector does not hinder the securing of extra length processing space, so there is always enough space to keep it. It will be easier.
