Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Development of a connector that improves the power supply / stop function by plugging / unplugging the connector to / from the power supply unit such as an outlet so that power can be supplied / stopped while plugged into the power supply unit. With the goal. [Structure] The connector body is provided with a male part for inserting into a power source part and a female part for connecting with a connector of another machine / equipment, and these male part and female part are electrically connected and disconnected by a switch part. As a result, a connector having a switch function for supplying and stopping electric power in addition to the function for taking out electric power from the power supply unit is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

The present invention relates to a connector. More specifically, it relates to a connector comprising a male part and a female part and a switch part for electrically connecting and disconnecting the male part and the female part.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various connectors have been widely used to extract electric power from a power source such as an outlet. However, the switch function was not considered at all because these connectors were limited to the primary function of extracting power from the power supply.

A switch is attached to a main body of a general household electric machine appliance, a large-scale industrial machine, or the like, and power is supplied or stopped by the switch. Recently, however, small portable industrial machinery has been widely used, and some of them do not have a switch function in their main bodies, and therefore, plugs are inserted and removed from power sources such as outlets, which are direct intake ports of electricity. By doing so, power is supplied and stopped.

The fact that the plug has to be inserted and removed every time it is needed is very complicated and time-consuming, and the number of times the plug is inserted and removed increases the number of troubles such as disconnection in the cord near the plug. It is also the cause.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to solve such a problem, the present inventor has conceived that a connector that has been used in the past has a switch function, and the power is supplied by the switch function of the connector while the connector is plugged into the power supply part such as an outlet. As a result of earnest studies to realize the supply and suspension of electricity, the present invention has been completed.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The connector according to the present invention has a male part for inserting into a power source part such as an outlet and a female part for connecting to a connector such as a flag of another machine tool, and these male part and female part are electrically connected by a switch part. By electrically connecting or disconnecting the power supply, not only the original power supply function from the power supply section of the connector but also the switch function for supplying and stopping the power supply is provided. It is possible to eliminate the trouble of inserting and removing each time.

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described by way of examples, but the present invention is not affected by this.

An embodiment of the connector according to the present invention is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a male part 2 is provided at one end of a connector body 1 and a female part 3 is provided at the other end, and a slide switch is provided as a switch part 4 in the central part in order to electrically connect or disconnect the two. It is provided.

The electrical connection or disconnection function of this embodiment is shown in FIG. By sliding the knob of the slide switch of FIG. 1 to the ON side or the OFF side, the slide contact 5 of FIG. 2 interlocks with it to electrically connect or disconnect the male part and the female part.

In the connector according to the present invention, the male part 2 is always inserted in the power source part such as an outlet, and the female part 3 is also always inserted in the connector such as the plug of the machine tool to be used. At this time, power is supplied and stopped by switching the switch unit 4.

For the switch unit used in the connector according to the present invention, not only a slide type or push-pull type switch but also a switching type switch which is generally used in general can be used.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 By using the connector according to the present invention in this way, not only is it unnecessary to connect and disconnect the connector to and from the power supply unit as in the past, but the connector part near By preventing troubles such as disconnection, work efficiency can be dramatically increased.
