DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desk capable of attaching and detaching an information input / output device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, office desks are not only equipped with books, documents, telephones and the like as before, but various information devices have been rapidly developed toward the advanced information age. In addition to the above items, displays, computer bodies, keyboards, mice, etc., have become cluttered on the desk. For this reason, despite the introduction of various state-of-the-art information devices, the work space on the desk is becoming narrower, and the work efficiency has been reduced. Also, it is difficult to move the display to an appropriate position suitable for the user. Also, because there are many information input / output devices,
The wiring (various connectors and cables for connection, for example, a power cord, a telephone line, a LAN wiring, etc.) has become complicated.

Conventionally, desks have been used for placing books, objects, and trays in addition to working. Some are fitted with lights (fluorescent lamps).

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-216509 discloses a work environment system in which, when various information devices are connected to a desk, shelves and trays are provided on the front surface and necessary items are hung thereon. It has been disclosed. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-17011 discloses a telephone table that also serves as a desk storage device. As described above, shelves and trays are usually provided on the front of the desk, and necessary items are hung on the shelves or trays, or a table is provided on the desk and installed on the desk.

However, in the conventional desk, it is difficult to move the information input / output device to an appropriate position suitable for the user, and the wiring processing of the information input / output device is not considered. When viewed, not only can the wiring be seen and looked messy, but the wiring could be inadvertently hooked and dangerous. Also,
Connecting and disconnecting connectors is troublesome.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A detachable desk of an information input / output device according to the present invention is made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and various information input / output devices can be easily placed at appropriate positions on the desk. This realizes a desk that can be mounted on a desk.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A detachable desk for an information input / output device according to the present invention is a detachable desk having an information input / output device and a connector for inputting / outputting a signal or power required for the information input / output device. A desk provided with a unit and a connector group consisting of a plurality of connectors for inputting and outputting signals or power corresponding to a plurality of connectors of the unit, wherein the connector of the unit is simply attached to the connector group, A connector corresponding to the unit in the group is selectively connected.

[0008]

With the information input / output device detachable desk of the present invention, the connector of the unit can be selectively connected in the connector group only by attaching the connector of the unit to the connector group provided on the desk. Therefore, the user can freely select a necessary information input / output device, and attachment and detachment are easy.

FIG. 1 is an external view of an information input / output device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display 101,
The speaker 102, the telephone 103, the sensor 104 (temperature, humidity, illuminance, air contamination, sound, human body detection, etc.) and the camera 110 are each a liquid crystal display arm 105.
The liquid crystal display unit 106, the speaker unit 111, the telephone arm 107 and the telephone unit 114, the sensor unit 113, and the camera unit 112 are attached to the desk top 109.
Further, the liquid crystal display arm 105 can be freely bent, and the angle of the liquid crystal display 101 can be fixed at an arbitrary position. In addition, the telephone arm 107
Since the rotation mechanism is formed around the mounting portion of the telephone arm 107 and the telephone unit 114 as an axis, it can be rotated to a place where it does not hinder the work when not necessary, and can be expanded and contracted. Furthermore, a telephone arm 1
07, the wiring of the power
The part where you put is possible to charge the cordless phone.

In FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display 101 is shown.
Is arranged at the center and the speaker 102 is arranged at the leftmost position. However, it is also possible to arrange the liquid crystal display 101 at the leftmost position and replace the speaker 102 at the center position according to the preference of a worker. . The liquid crystal display 101, the camera 110, and the telephone 103 individually function, but also function as a videophone. That is, the face of the caller is projected on the liquid crystal display 101, the face of the caller is projected by the camera 110, and the image data is transmitted to the talker of the phone. The other party ’s voice
Output from the speaker 102.

FIG. 2 shows a liquid crystal display unit 1 according to an embodiment of the information input / output device detachable desk according to the present invention.
06 is shown below.

In FIG. 1, a unit-side connector 201 is attached to the bottom of the liquid crystal display unit 106. The desk top board side connector 202 is also embedded in the desk top board 109. By attaching and detaching the unit-side connector 201 and the desk-top-side connector 202, signals or power are input / output, and are simultaneously physically connected. The desk top-side connector 202 is connected via a cable 203 to a computer main body housed in the desk.

FIG. 3 shows an image in which the connector rail 311 and various units are connected in one embodiment of the desk having the information input / output device according to the present invention. (However, a liquid crystal display and a telephone are omitted.) In the same figure, a speaker connector 301, a liquid crystal display connector 302, a camera connector 303, a sensor connector 304, are mounted on a connector rail 311 embedded in the desk top 109. A telephone connector 305 and a power connector 306 are sequentially arranged at positions corresponding to each unit.

A speaker connector 301, a liquid crystal display connector 302, a camera connector 30
3. Sensor connector 304, telephone connector 305
Is connected to each body stored in the desk, and the power connector is connected to a power supply.

Each connector of the speaker unit 111, the camera unit 112, the sensor unit 113, the liquid crystal display unit 106, and the telephone unit 114 is connected to a corresponding connector in the connector group.

This connection method will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 shows an example of connection of a speaker unit 111. The unit includes a speaker unit side connector 401 and a speaker unit side power supply connector 40.

As described above, each unit is provided with a signal or power supply necessary for the information input / output device mounted on the unit at the position of the connector provided on the connector rail 311 corresponding to the unit. Since each unit has the same shape and the same size, it can be connected only by one-touch mounting of various connectors. In addition, movement is possible only by one-touch removal.

[0021]

According to the present invention, various information input / output devices such as a display and a telephone, which are randomly placed on a desk in an office, can be tidy and a work space on the desk can be widened.
In addition, various units attached to the desk can be connected by only one-touch attachment / detachment and can be freely moved, so that the user can work at any position without difficulty, thereby increasing the work efficiency. In addition, it is not necessary to attach all the attached units to the desk, the user can freely select the units, and only the necessary units can be attached.

The wires and connectors of various information input / output devices are pre-installed and mounted in the unit, so that there is no need for troublesome wiring, time and labor can be saved, and the wires cannot be seen from the outside. The appearance is beautiful and the environment is maintained. In addition, since no wires are caught, safety is enhanced, and operation reliability of the information input / output device is also enhanced.
