DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically setting an outlet position in a house.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When installing electrical equipment such as switches, outlets, and lights in a general residential building (detached house and apartment house, etc.), each of the above electrical equipment is placed on a plan view in which the layout of the building is described in advance. Create an indoor wiring drawing that fills in the installation location of the equipment and the indoor wiring connecting these facilities,
The person who actually performs the work performs the installation work according to the indoor wiring drawing.

[0003] The actual situation of creating the indoor wiring drawing is that a person of a construction shop performing the electric work manually creates the indoor wiring drawing based on a building plan obtained from a construction shop or the like. In addition, it takes time and effort to create, and in order to determine the number of installations and the locations to be installed, knowledge or the like with many years of experience is required. As a result, the quality of the created indoor wiring diagram is not always constant, and some of the indoor wiring diagrams may have low quality. If the work is performed according to such poor-quality indoor wiring diagram, the work is complicated, and it becomes difficult to use the outlet after the installation. Furthermore, since the indoor wiring drawing is handwritten as described above, the storage and management thereof are inconvenient, and the installation location may be unknown.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned background, and an object of the present invention is to automatically arrange outlets required for creating an indoor wiring diagram. In addition to reducing the labor required for the construction of the indoor wiring diagram, it is possible to reduce the labor required for creating An automatic setting device is provided.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an apparatus for automatically setting a position of an outlet in a house according to the present invention comprises a partition line for dividing each room constituting a plan view of a building, at least a wall and a window. And the like, the door and the door are stored in a distinguished state, and the house data storage means for storing and holding together the attribute indicating the type of the room, and a setting rule created according to the characteristics of the type of the room. Setting rule storing means for storing and holding, room data extracting means for extracting data of at least any room stored in the house data storing means, and a wall portion and other data based on the data extracted by the data extracting means. Wall extracting means for separating and extracting a part, a door extracting means for extracting a main door from a door, a corner extracting means for extracting a main corner, and Means for determining the appropriate number of outlets to be set from the size of the house, data sent from each of the extracting means, and a predetermined position on the wall of the room based on the rules sent from the setting rule storage means. Outlet setting means for setting a predetermined number of outlets (claim 1).

In addition, on the premise of the above-mentioned apparatus, the number-of-outlets-property judging means for judging the suitability of the number of outlets set by the outlet setting means, and the number actually set by the judging result of the number-of-outlets suitability judging means, An outlet deletion unit for deleting a predetermined outlet from the set outlets when the number of outlets is larger than an appropriate number is provided (claim 4). The information processing apparatus may further include a judging means and an outlet adding means for adding a new outlet when the number actually set by the judging means is smaller than an appropriate number (claim 6).

[0007]

According to the present invention, partition lines that separate the rooms forming the floor plan of a building are stored in a state where at least the walls, openings such as windows, and doors are distinguished, and the attribute indicating the type of the room is stored together. The data relating to the predetermined room is read from the stored storage means. Next, the type of the room that has been read is determined, and the partition line that separates the room is separated into walls and openings (doors and other parts) in principle. Then, a setting rule necessary for the type of the determined room is read from the setting rule storage means, and an outlet is installed at a predetermined position on a wall surface of the room according to the rule.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of an apparatus for automatically setting an outlet position in a house according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the automatic setting device according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a house floor plan such as a floor plan input from an input device 1 such as a tablet, a digitizer, a keyboard, and a mouse is stored in a house data storage unit 2.

At this time, attributes indicating the type of each room (living room, kitchen, bathtub, washroom, toilet, entrance, hallway, etc.) are also stored. As will be described later, the living room in the present invention includes not only the living room described on the floor plan (architectural plan) but also, in principle, a dining room, a Japanese-style room, a guest room, etc. other than the room for the above-mentioned special use. However, when it is finally output as an indoor wiring diagram, it is better to distinguish and display the living room, the Japanese-style room, and the like, so that the attributes of the living room are hierarchically stored.

[0010] In the outlet setting process, the process is performed based on the attributes of the "living room" and other rooms (kitchen, washroom, etc.) stored as the upper layer, and the final display,
At the time of output, specific names of lower layers are used only for the living room. Then, in consideration of the convenience of the data input person, a table etc. relating the name of the room used for the lower layer and the living room of the upper layer is created, and when the name used for the lower layer is input, The attribute “living room” of the upper layer is automatically generated and stored based on the table. As described above, the attribute “living room” is not stored in advance, and the storage means 2 stores (living room data), “dining room”, “Japanese-style room”, etc. in the hierarchy (indirectly storing living room data). When the outlet is installed, it may be determined from the table or the like whether or not it belongs to the living room in the present invention.

[0011] Further, a line separating each room and a partition line such as an outline of a building are stored in a state where components such as walls, doors, windows and the like are separated (where the components are installed). That is, the coordinates (x, y) of the start point and the end point of each line constituting the partition line are stored as a pair, and more specifically, first, a partition line for separating rooms (in this case, the configuration of the partition line (wall And doors) are stored in the starting and ending points of any question), that is, the coordinates of the corners of each room, and then the starting and ending points of the doors, the starting and ending points of the walls, the starting and ending points of the windows, etc. To memorize it. More preferably, if there is a space between the floors, shelves, etc., they are stored in a state where their installation locations are specified. Further, in the case of a door, the type of the door (sliding door, hinged door, etc.) is stored together. Note that the door in this example refers to a door through which people enter and exit, and for example, a door such as an open / closed door installed in a container or the like is handled in the same manner as a window.

When inputting the above attributes and the like, the attributes may be input for all the rooms, or the attributes of the rooms excluding one of the types of the rooms (for example, corridors) may be input. In this way, an arbitrary method can be used, such as setting the remaining room (corridor) of the room in which the attribute has not been input, and the same applies to the partition line.

Further, the house data storage means 2 includes:
The size (the number of tatami mats or the number of square meters) of each room is stored as a pair. As the storage method, for example, the input may be manually performed using the input device 1, or
When a floor plan such as a floor plan is input, the calculation is automatically performed from the plan view by performing the processing based on a predetermined scale set in advance, such as setting one grid interval to half or 1/3. Alternatively, various methods can be adopted. Note that this size may be given to at least the living room.

A room data extracting means 3 is connected to the house data storing means 2 so as to extract data of each room stored in the house data storing means 2. More specifically, all data (attributes, components of partition lines, room size, and door positioning (excluding the attributes of the room facing the door and the Distance), etc.).

Then, among the read data, the data relating to the size of the room is stored in the number of suitable outlets determining means 4.
The number of outlets to be set in the room is calculated. Specifically, it is set based on a table of the room size and the number of installations created in advance. That is, in Japan, in general, the size of a living room (especially a Japanese-style room) is often represented by the number of tatami mats, and accordingly, the size is shown in the following table.

[0016]

[Table 1] Further, in the case of a Japanese-style room with a tatami number other than the above-mentioned size, or a room such as a living room in a Western-style room which is displayed in a square meter rather than a tatami room, it cannot be determined by referring to a table.
One per m ² , rounded up. That is, if the size of the room is stored in square meters, and if the size is stored in tatami mats,
The value obtained by multiplying it by 3.3 and converting it to a square meter is divided by 3, and the value after the decimal point is rounded up (the quotient and, if there is a remainder, one may be added to the quotient). ing.

On the other hand, among the data read by the room data extracting means 3, data relating to the partition line is sent to the wall extracting means 5, the door extracting means 6 and the corner extracting means 7. Then, the wall extracting means 5 separates the partition line into the wall and the other part (this is called an opening) and sends it to the outlet setting means 8 at the next stage. In addition, in this example, when there is a space between floors, a bay window, or the like, an opening surface such as between the floors is also an opening. In addition, the portion of the wall that is hidden by the door when the door is opened is also defined as the opening.

The door extracting means 6 determines a main door among the doors provided in the room from the data relating to the position of the room. This main door is the main door when there is one door, and when there are multiple doors,
The door facing the corridor is the main door. If all the doors do not face the corridor, or if there are two or more doors facing the corridor, the door closest to the entrance is the main door. Then, the extracted main door is sent to the outlet setting means 8.

Further, the corner extracting means 7 extracts a main corner. Here, the main corner is 90 cm or more on one side and 180 cm on the opposite side.
A corner with a partition line (total of walls and openings) of cm or more. Accordingly, in the case where a corner is chamfered or a wall or the like is bent at a relatively short distance due to a request for design or the like, each of the bent corners (around the corner) is set near a corner described later. It will be excluded from the outlet arrangement target in such rules. Then, the extracted main corner is sent to the outlet setting means 8.

The outlet setting means 8 comprises the above-mentioned means 5 to 5
The outlet is automatically set at a predetermined position in the room based on the data sent from the storage device 7 and the setting rule for each room sent from the setting rule storage means 9. The setting rule storage means 9 stores rules determined in advance corresponding to the characteristics of each room, which will be described later. The rules sent from the setting rule storage means 9 are selected and output by an attribute signal indicating the type of the room sent from the room data extraction means 3 to the setting rule storage means 9.

The output of the outlet setting means 8 is sent to the indoor wiring diagram storage means 10, and the indoor wiring diagram in which an outlet is provided in the plan view of the building, arranged by the outlet setting means 8, is provided. Is stored. further,
The indoor wiring diagram storage means 10 is connected to the number-of-outlets-properness determination means 11, and the number of outlets actually arranged and stored by the outlet setting means 8 is stored in the appropriate number-of-outlets determination means 4. Then, the comparison result signal (“somewhat” and “the difference”) is sent to the outlet deletion means 12 and the outlet addition means 13.

When the comparison result signal is "many (set more than the appropriate number)", the outlet deletion unit 12 deletes the outlet set previously according to a predetermined rule (given from the setting rule storage unit 9). After a predetermined one is deleted, it is written into the indoor wiring diagram storage means 10 again. Similarly, when the comparison result signal is “small (set more than the appropriate number)”, the outlet adding means 13 adds, in addition to the outlet arranged earlier, according to a predetermined rule (given from the setting rule storage means 9), After adding an outlet at a predetermined position, the indoor wiring diagram storage means 1 is again
0 is written. Furthermore, in this example, the indoor wiring diagram stored in the indoor wiring diagram
And the like, and an output device 15 such as a printer.

Here, the specific processing performed by the outlet setting means 8 and the outlet deletion / addition means 12 and 13, that is, the setting rules stored in the setting rule storage means 9, will be described. Therefore, they are sequentially processed. And, as a matter of course, the basic guidelines are installed on the wall (not installed in the opening), and placed near pillars and openings in consideration of the convenience of construction, and the user of the outlet after setting The rules are based on the fact that they should be placed evenly in the room in consideration of the convenience of installation, and that they should be placed in places where it is difficult to hide behind furniture and where electrical equipment is likely to be installed (do not place them in low places). You are setting.

* In the case of a living room <Rules for processing in outlet setting means 8> Attempt to place the switch near the main door. That is, if a switch (such as a light installed in the room) placed near the main door is installed indoors, install an outlet below the switch. If there is no switch in the room, do not install an outlet near the main door for the time being. This is because even if an outlet is installed near the entrance, the convenience of use is not very high (compared to the work of wiring and other work only for the outlet), but if you do the installation work of the switch, In addition, since the work of installing the outlet by extending the wiring to the lower portion does not increase so much, the merit of convenience of use increases.

Specifically, the type of main door is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), in the case of a single-door door (opened and closed by rotation) T1, it is determined whether there is a place where a switch and an outlet can be installed on the indoor side of the door T1. And place it where possible. on the other hand,
For example, if there are openings, shelves, floors, etc., and wiring is not possible (wiring is pulled downward from the ceiling, so if there is an opening etc. in the middle, wiring will not be possible)
Since the switch is installed outside the room, no outlet will be installed.

As shown in FIG. 2B, in the case of a sliding door T2 with two doors, the first priority is given to the right side of the room toward the door T2, and this position cannot be set as described above. In the case of, the setting is attempted on the left side, and if the setting cannot be made at this position, the switch is installed outside the room, so the outlet is not installed. It should be noted that the priority on the right side is set higher for the sake of convenience in view of the fact that there are many right-handed people, and the priority on the left side may be higher.

Even if a switch can be installed, if the part (inside the door) is partially used as a passage, even if an outlet is installed, the usability is low ( (Electric appliances are rarely placed in the vicinity because things cannot be placed to secure the passage)
Therefore, it is preferable to add a rule that no outlet is provided.

2. Arranged at diagonal corners (same as “main corner” hereinafter) with outlets set up in accordance with the above rules This is because if only one outlet is installed in a room, it is usually installed at the back of the room. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, a corner C located on a diagonal line of the installation position of the outlet (indicated by a black circle) is extracted from the main corners, and the corner C is extracted from a wall near the corner C. It is determined whether or not installation is possible in accordance with the priority order shown in the figure, and if there is a place where installation is possible, an outlet is set at that position.

Here, as a method of extracting a corner C on a diagonal line, for example, a center of a room is obtained, and a corner located on or near an extension of a line connecting the existing outlet and the center is extracted. In addition, various methods can be adopted. The priorities 1 and 2 are located at positions about 75 cm away from the corner C, and the priorities 3 and 4 are located about 15 cm apart from each other (the same applies hereinafter unless otherwise specified). The reason why the distance between the corners is about 75 cm is often determined based on the interval between the columns being set to 1/2 (90 cm) or a multiple thereof. This is because it is more likely that an outlet will be installed in the vicinity of the pillar that is installed in the building. And more than about 15 cm from corner C (often a pillar is installed)
Near the pillar installed next to the corner (75 from the corner)
The reason why the priority was raised was that if the furniture was set at about 15 cm, if you tried to install furniture exactly in that corner, the furniture could hide the outlet regardless of the orientation of the furniture. Is high.

In addition, when the outlet (indicated by a black circle) is set according to the immediately preceding rule, the side having the higher priority (,) is determined even at the same distance. It is determined by extracting the side. That is, the outlets are arranged in a well-balanced manner.

On the other hand, when the main door is set at an intermediate position of the wall as shown in FIG.
Although the outlet arranged by may also be located near the center of the wall, even in such a case, for example, by finding the center of the room as described above, by drawing a straight line passing through the existing outlet and its center A diagonal corner C can be determined.

When an outlet cannot be installed according to the rule 1, a corner diagonally from the main door is extracted based on the main door, and the outlet is arranged at a predetermined position of the corner.

The location that can be set by the above rule means a location where there is no opening, shelf, floor or the like at the location to be determined and wiring can be pulled from the ceiling side. The rules are basically the same.

In the case where the side of the priority order is a wall and the side of the priority order is an opening such as a window, an arrangement is attempted first on the priority order side. That is, the priorities are reversed. This is because, if there is a window or the like, wiring along the window frame is easier than wiring in a wall. This priority exchange is similarly applied to rules 3 to 5 described below.

Further, when the outlet arranged according to the present rule is located in the middle of the wall and moves within 90 cm and is adjacent to the opening on the same plane, the outlet moves there. In other words, arranging the outlet in the middle of the wall not only complicates the installation work but also makes the appearance unsightly. Therefore, if an opening is provided, it is installed adjacent to the opening, thereby simplifying the installation work and improving the appearance. However, if the distance of the existing outlet is within 90 cm due to this movement, it does not move. And this movement rule is the following rule 3,
The same applies to 4 and 7.

3. The corners C1 and C2 located on both sides of the corner C set by the rule 2 as shown in FIG.
Is extracted, and the priority order is set for each corner as shown in the figure, and one installation location is set at each corner in the same manner as in the rule 2. Here, the priority order is 75 cm from corners C1 and C2, respectively.
The degree and priority are 15 cm apart. The side with the same distance and higher priority is the side (perpendicular in the case of a normal rectangular room) that is continuous (adjacent) to the outlet mounting surface set in the previous stage.

The figure shows an example in which the outlet (black circle in FIG. 4) is set to the priority (FIG. 3A) according to rule 2. In this example, the processing for both corners C1 and C2 is set once, as described later, and then the number of outlets actually set is compared with the appropriate value, so that outlets can be added or deleted.
Either one may be performed first. For example, in the case where the setting is sequentially performed and the setting process is terminated when the actual number of outlets reaches an appropriate number (in FIG. The output of the number-of-outlets determining means 4 is input to the outlet setting means 8 while the means 13 and the like are eliminated, and the outlet setting means 8 arranges the outlets one by one until an appropriate number is given according to a predetermined rule. In this case, the corner C1 side far from the corner C is preferably processed first.

4. Place outlets in the remaining four corners. Even if the above rules are executed, if there are any corners in which no outlets are installed in the four corners, outlets are placed in those corners. When this rule is applied, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the main door may be located in the middle of the wall. That is, in such a case, the first outlet (indicated by a black circle (the same applies hereinafter)) is arranged on the open side of the door T3 according to rule 1, and the second outlet is arranged at a corner C diagonally to the first outlet according to rule 2. Corner C according to rule 3
The third and fourth outlets were placed at 1 and C2, but no outlets were installed at the remaining corner C3.

Therefore, the position of the outlet at the corner C3 is determined in accordance with the priority order (the distance from the corner C3 is the same as described above). At this time, it is determined whether or not there is an opening or the like at each position as in the above-described rules. In addition to this determination, a linear distance of 180 cm from an existing outlet (the other four outlets in this example) is used. It is assumed that they are farther apart. That is, 180 cm (1
Even if multiple outlets are installed while they are only separated from each other, the work involved in the installation is only complicated, and in actual use, if it is located at any one place, just extend the cord of the electrical equipment This is because it can sufficiently cope.

It should be noted that the "four corners" in this rule are basically rectangular in the case of a Japanese-style room based on tatami mats regardless of the size of the number of tatami mats. Is often set in a rectangular shape.
Even in the case of a Japanese-style room, part W1 is partly different from the other part W2 because the wall W partitioning the room has a compartment along the wall, or a balcony or the like is installed outside, etc. If the corner C4, which is a boundary between both parts, is 90 cm or more on one side and 180 cm or more on the opposite side, it is extracted as a main corner, and in the case of a Western-style room, it can be freely set. Due to the large degree, it can be pentagonal or more.

In this case, the number of main corners is five or more, and there is a slight inconsistency with the wording of four corners. In such a case, for example, as shown in FIG.
If they are separated into two (W1 and W2), they may be regarded as one and treated as having no corner C4, that is, the four corners which are considered to be rectangular as a whole may be extracted. (Even in such a case, the corner is treated according to the following rules.) Or, if it is deformed so that it can not be seen as a rectangular shape, it remains in five or more corners while saying four corners Outlets may be installed at all corners.

5. Place outlets in the middle of the four corners. That is, as shown in FIG.
If there is a 4, place an outlet at that corner as well. At this time, the priority is given to the one which is farther from the existing outlet by a straight line distance, and the possibility of the outlet arrangement is checked in the same manner as the above-mentioned rules according to the following order, and any one is specified. However, even in this rule, if it is not separated from the existing outlet by a linear distance of 180 cm or more in the same manner as in Rule 5, the outlet is not installed at that location.

6. If outlets are not installed at the corners of the four corners and the outlets cannot be attached, place the outlets on the closest wall.
The lighting and view may be improved, and even in the case of a Japanese-style room, windows are often provided on both sides of the room through pillars installed in corners. In such a case, an outlet cannot be installed at the location where the opening is provided, so the outlet is installed on a wall as close as possible. Thereby, the installation location is installed near the opening, and the installation work is simplified.

The wall closest to the opening is, for example, not only when the opening and the wall are located on one plane as shown in FIG. 7A, but also as shown in FIG. Thus, even if a part of the wall is cornered, the outlet will be located on the closest wall as shown. Also, according to the present rule, if the straight line distance between the place to be arranged and the existing outlet is less than 180 cm, the outlet is not installed.

7. The distance between adjacent corners is 360c
If there is more than m, an outlet is placed in the middle of the corner. That is, in each of the above-mentioned rules, since the outlet is basically provided around the corner, if the distance between adjacent corners is 360 cm or more, This is because the distance between adjacent outlets will be at least 200 cm or more, and depending on the location of the electrical equipment, the possibility that the plug cannot be directly connected to the outlet will increase, and the usability as well as the safety will decrease. .

Therefore, an outlet is attached to the middle (middle point) of a corner exceeding 360 cm and not more than 720 cm. However, usually, a pillar is often installed at the position, so that the position is shifted by a predetermined amount to a side far from the existing outlet. In addition, more than 720cm and 1080cm
In the following cases, two are arranged at equal intervals. According to this rule, if the straight line distance between the place to be arranged and the existing outlet is less than 180 cm, the outlet is not installed.

<Rules for Processing in Outlet Deletion Means 12> If the number of outlets in the indoor wiring diagram obtained by automatically executing the above rules 1 to 7 and automatically arranging the outlets is large, the indoor Since the outlets are installed evenly (in a well-balanced manner), the distance between adjacent outlets (the sum of the outlets on both sides) is obtained, and the outlet having the shortest distance is deleted. If the number is still large, the distance is obtained again, and the outlet having the shortest distance is deleted. Hereinafter, this is repeated.

As a method of calculating the distance, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 8, an arbitrary corner C5 is determined, the object is moved in a predetermined direction (for example, counterclockwise) along the partition line, and a certain outlet is found. After that, move as it is, make the next found outlet the adjacent outlet, and draw a line connecting the two. Then, it is obtained by calculating the sum of the distances xn of the line segments with respect to the adjacent both sides. That is, in this example, since x1 + x2 is the shortest, the outlet is deleted.

<Rules for processing in outlet adding means 13> Contrary to the above, when the number of outlets is smaller than the appropriate number, outlets are added according to the following procedure.

First, an outlet is arranged on the door side between the floors. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when there is a space between the floors, the wall W3 closest to the door is extracted from the wall surface, and the outlet is placed at a position about 75 cm from the depth. In other words, there is a case where works of art are displayed on the floor,
It is more convenient to have an outlet. The reason why the outlet is installed on the door side is to prevent the outlet and the electric cord connected to the outlet from being immediately seen when a person enters the room.

Next, in the case where the number of installations is small even if the outlets are installed between the floors, an outlet pair in which the distance between the adjacent outlets is the longest (distant) is extracted, and a new outlet is inserted in the middle between the outlets. to add.

As a specific method, a line segment connecting adjacent outlets is drawn by a method similar to the above deletion rule (see FIG. 10). Then, the longest line segment (the longest distance between outlets) L in the length of each line segment is extracted,
An intersection point P between the perpendicular bisector of the line segment L and the wall is obtained, and the intersection point P is set as a socket installation position in principle. However,
In order to be near the column, the installation position is moved so as to be 90 * N + 15 cm or 90 * N + 75 (N is a natural number of 1 or more) from the corner C6 (or C7) of the plane to which the intersection P belongs. The position is the final additional installation position.

Then, the above processing is repeated until the appropriate number is reached. However, if the distance between the added outlet and another existing outlet is within 90 cm, the outlet is not installed. Then, in this case, even if the actual number of installations is smaller than the appropriate number, the additional processing ends. If the installation position obtained by the above processing is a concave corner, it is not installed. Further, when there are a plurality of outlets having the same distance between the outlets, additional outlets are installed based on all the line segments. Then, even if the number of additional outlets may exceed the appropriate number as a result of setting a plurality of additional outlets, the outlets are installed as they are, and unnecessary outlets are deleted according to the above deletion rule. In addition,
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a specific processing procedure of the automatic setting of the outlet for the living room described above.

* Processing for a room for special use <Toilet> It is determined whether or not a toilet is described in the plan view. Then, as shown in FIG.
Is described, the wall WL on the left side toward the toilet B has priority, the left side of the wall WO on the back side has priority,
The right wall WR toward the toilet B has priority, and the right side of the back wall WO has priority. Such priorities include warming the toilet seat, Washlet ™
In many cases, the operation unit of the auxiliary equipment installed on the toilet such as a washer such as a bidet is arranged on the left side, that is, on the right hand side when sitting on the toilet seat. This is because they are often arranged on the operation unit side.

On the other hand, when the toilet is not described,
The longitudinal direction of the toilet (room) is extracted, and it is assumed that the toilet is located far from the door in the longitudinal direction. Based on the assumption, the priority is determined, and the arrangement position of the outlet is determined according to the priority. FIG. 12B shows a flowchart of a specific processing procedure.

<In the case of an entrance> If there is an opening, it is installed at a predetermined position on the surface on the opposite side, and if there is a shelf, it is installed at a predetermined position on the installation side of the shelf. That is, when there is a shelf, a water tank and other things requiring electricity are often installed on the shelf.
If there are no openings or shelves as described above and the priorities are equal, a predetermined position is set on the right side surface (may be set on the left side).

When the depth is known, for example, a line L1 indicating the boundary on the back side of the entrance is shown in the plan view as shown in FIG.
From the back side to the front side, it is about 10 cm,
When the depth is unknown as shown in FIG. 3B, the position is set at 90 cm from the entrance side to the back. The reason why the distance is set to 90 cm is that the average depth of the entrance is 1 m.

However, if there is no wall at a predetermined position on the right (left) surface determined as described above, the wall is set to the opposite wall. The specific processing procedure is shown in FIG.
4 is as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

<In the case of a washroom> It is determined whether or not a washstand is described in the plan view. When the wash basin S is described as shown in FIG. 15 (A), it is installed on the right side of the wash basin. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the wash basin is not described, the main door T
(Includes an open entrance without a specific door)
It is assumed that there is a wash basin on the surface far from the main door T among the remaining surfaces excluding the surface with the connection and the connection surface with the bathroom, and is disposed on the right side of the wall surface. However, if there is an opening on the surface to be installed, it should be installed on the adjacent surface. The specific processing procedure is as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

If the opening is relatively small, a wash basin can be installed and the actual wiring work of the outlet can be performed. A rule may be added such that if the unit is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the unit is installed on the surface.

<In the case of a corridor> A corridor exceeding 180 cm on one side is extracted, and one outlet is arranged in a corridor exceeding 180 cm and 540 cm or less. And when it exceeds 540 cm, one is added every 540 cm. As a result, the total number of outlets installed in the corridor is calculated.

Next, the actual arrangement of the outlets is determined. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, of the two parallel straight lines L3 and L4 that partition the corridor, the longer straight line L3 is
It is equally divided into a number (2) obtained by adding one to the total number (one in the example in the figure). Then, the divided location Q1 is set as an outlet installation candidate. Then, the amount of the opening (including the door) existing on the longer straight line L3 is detected, and if it is small, the straight line L closest to the candidate location Q1 is detected.
Install an outlet at 90 * Mcm (M is a natural number of 1 or more) from the end of 3. If there are many openings on the straight line L3, the amount of openings on the short straight line L4 on the opposite side is detected. If there are few openings, a perpendicular is drawn down from the candidate location Q1 and the intersection with the straight line L4 is determined. The next candidate location is Q2.
90 * from the end of the straight line L4, closest to the candidate location Q2
An outlet is installed at a position of Mcm (M is a natural number of 1 or more). The specific processing procedure is as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

<In the case of other rooms> If the room where the outlet is to be installed is a kitchen, the outlets are placed at the four corners. That is, in the case of kitchens, there are many existing electric facilities such as switches for hot water supply equipment and ventilation fans, and many existing facilities such as sinks and gas ranges, and many electric appliances to be installed later. It is difficult to identify at the stage of the figure. Therefore, they are temporarily arranged.

When the room where the outlet is to be installed is a bathtub, no outlet is installed (no outlet is installed) because of the possibility of electric shock. Furthermore, in this example, in the case of a dedicated outlet such as a 200 V power supply for an air conditioner or an external outlet, it cannot be specified as a rule obtained from the characteristics of each room, so that it can be manually input through the input device 1. I have to.

Next, an automatic setting method according to the present invention using the above-described apparatus will be described. First, it is assumed that the floor plan storage means 2 stores a floor plan (plan view) together with a predetermined attribute. In this state, the rooms constituting the building are read one by one, and the type of the read room (living room, room for special use, etc.) is determined. If the result of the determination is not a bathroom or a kitchen, the read data is analyzed, and the dividing line that separates the rooms is separated into walls and openings (doors and other parts). The size of the room is also extracted.

Then, the necessary setting rules are read from the setting rule storage means 9 in accordance with the determined type of the room, and a predetermined number of outlets are installed at predetermined positions on the wall surface of the room in accordance with the rules. The specific method of this installation is as described above. Then, when the installation of the outlet is completed, it is stored and retained, and it is determined whether or not there is an unprocessed (outlet is not installed) room. Is read, and the same processing as above is performed. Then, when the installation processing of the outlets for all the rooms constituting the plan view is completed, the automatic installation work is completed (FIG. 19).
reference).

In the above example, all data relating to the room to be processed is read. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, first, attribute data relating to the type of room is read, and the data is automatically set. It is also possible to determine whether or not the room is available and read data such as partition lines when setting. With such a configuration, for example, in the case of a bathroom with “0” installations, it is possible to omit the operation of reading a partition line or the like that is unnecessary for processing. The more, the more effective.

Each of the above-described processes is actually processed by a computer. That is, each means other than the input device 1, the display device 14, and the output device 15 that constitutes the automatic setting device in the present example shown in FIG. 1 is constituted by a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like in the computer, and is further required. An external storage device such as an HDD is used accordingly.

Next, a specific example of the above automatic installation will be described with reference to FIG. That is, for example, when a "Japanese-style room" is imported, the attribute of the room is a living room, so that the wall (shown by a solid line), the door T10, and the opening K are separated, and the size of the room is 6 tatami mats. Then, determine the appropriate number of outlets to be set (four). Since the door T10 is a one-sided sliding door, a portion of the wall which is hidden by the door T10 when opened (indicated by a double line of a solid line and a broken line) is also an opening K1, and the door is also opened for entry. Sections K2 and K3.

Next, installation of an outlet is attempted in accordance with each rule. That is, first, since the main door T10 is one-sided, an outlet is attempted to be installed on the opening side wall (rule 1).
There is no installation. Next, the placement of the outlet is attempted according to the rule 2. At this time, since the outlet is not installed according to the first rule, the outlet is installed near the corner C10 on the diagonal line with the main door T10. The first priority in the corner C10 on the diagonal line of the door T10 is the side a, which is the wall surface, so that the outlet (1) is installed there (rule 2). Thereafter, outlets (2) and (3) are installed according to rule 3, and outlet (4) is installed according to rule 6. Then, as a result of executing all of the rules 1 to 7, four outlets are installed as shown in the figure. Since these outlets match the appropriate number, no addition or deletion processing is performed. This completes the outlet setting process for the “Japanese-style room”.

Next, for example, if data relating to "entrance" is read, an outlet is installed according to the rules relating to the entrance because the attribute of the room is entrance. In this example, since both sides adjacent to the mounting surface of the door T11 are walls and there is a line L indicating the depth, the outlet is installed at a position 10 cm from the depth side of the right wall.

When the "living room" is taken in, there are two doors T12 and T13, but the door T12 facing the corridor becomes the main door, and by executing rules 1 to 7, (1) Outlets are installed in the order of (4) to (4), and one outlet is less than the proper number, so the outlet (5) is installed according to the rule of adding outlets.

When the "dining room" is taken in, the attribute of the room is "living room", so the processing is performed according to the rules of the living room. And there are two doors, T13 and T14, and both of them do not face the corridor.
13 is a main door, and outlets (1) to (3) are arranged in order according to the rules.

When the "corridor" is taken in, the longer straight line La of the two straight lines constituting the corridor is used.
Is extracted. However, since there are many openings on the side of the straight line La, a perpendicular line is drawn on the opposite side of the straight line Lb to form an intersection d.
And move it to a position at a predetermined distance from the end, and place the outlet there. In this example, the hall is also processed as a part of the corridor.

Further, when the taken-in room is a "bathroom", no outlet is provided, and when the room is a "kitchen", it is arranged at each of the four corners. Processing is performed according to the rules, and outlets are arranged at positions as shown in the figure.

The living room in the present invention basically includes all rooms other than the above-mentioned special-purpose rooms, regardless of the specific name given to the room. That is,
For example, in the present invention, all rooms generally referred to as a private room, a bedroom, a dining room, a guest room, a children's room, and a study are also included in the living room. In addition, the concept of a room includes a corridor, an entrance, and the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the automatic setting is basically performed for all the rooms. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The automatic setting according to the present invention may be performed, and the other rooms may be set manually. That is, for example, the automatic setting may be performed only for the living room with the highest demand or for any other type of room. If only the living room is used, the attribute assigned to the room is a binary value indicating whether the room is a living room (there are two types of rooms), and the amount of data stored in the setting data storage means 10 is small, so the capacity is small. Only high-speed processing is possible. And, since most of the building is a living room according to the present invention, even if the remaining rooms are manually operated, there is no significant adverse effect.
