  The present invention relates to a wall-embedded movable outlet.

Conventional wall-embedded outlets have a structure in which a unit with an outlet port is fixed to a protective box mounted in the wall before installation with a screw, etc. It was the target.

JP 2002-42953 Real Open 5-15376

Many conventional wall-embedded outlets have the following problems because the outlets are always exposed. (1) There is a risk of electric shock due to children, infants, etc. coming into contact with the outlet. (2) Garbage, dirt, dust on the outlet (3) The appearance of the room is damaged. In addition, the electric plug inserted into the outlet port jumps out to the indoor side in the vertical direction and gets in the way. For example, the outlet of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-42953 is devised for the purpose of keeping the electric plug protruding from the wall surface, and is not flat when not in use and detracts from aesthetics. For example, the outlet of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-15376 has a plug insertion port only on one side surface of the insertion port holder, and the direction of the plug insertion port in use is perpendicular to the wall surface and the amount of popping out of the electric plug increases. Also, the method of use is limited.

As a method for solving the above-described problems, the present invention provides a rotating unit having outlets on a plurality of side surfaces stored in a case when not in use, and the rotating unit is provided in the case when in use . We have devised an outlet that protrudes from the wall surface by rotating around the rotation axis and can select two outlets according to the purpose of use.

The present invention provides a storage-type outlet with outlet port into a plurality of side surfaces, has the outlet opening, is supported by a rotating shaft provided in the case, mounted rotatably in two directions with respect to said casing with a rotating unit, at the time of non-use, all the outlets ports are housed in the case, at the time of use, when the rotating unit rotates said one direction of the two directions with respect to said casing When an outlet port formed on one side surface of the plurality of side surfaces appears and the rotating unit rotates in the other direction of the two directions with respect to the case, the other side of the plurality of side surfaces It is a storage type outlet characterized by an outlet port formed on a side surface . This is solved.

When not in use, the outlet port with the rotating unit is inside the case and cannot be touched from the outside, and there is no electric shock accident caused by contact with children, infants, etc. Further, the outer surface of the rotation unit they become substantially flush with the surface of the outlet casing, the gap is less waste of the rotation unit and outlet case, hardly stains dust enters also unlikely to adhere, since outlet opening is not exposed refreshing Appearance. During use, the conventional outlet was oriented perpendicularly to the wall surface, so when the electrical plug was inserted, the amount of the plug and cord jumping from the wall surface to the electrical product was large. When the outlet port is rotated and exposed to the outside, the outlet port faces diagonally with respect to the wall surface, so the amount of electric plug that is inserted is small.

When the present invention is applied to an outdoor outlet, there are the following merits. (1) When not in use, the outdoor outlet body protrudes from the wall surface in conventional outdoor outlets, which hinders work, traffic, etc. In the present invention, the outlet body body is installed on almost the same surface as the wall surface when not in use. Possible and not hindering. (2) In conventional outdoor outlets, the outlet is often turned downward to prevent entry of rain, etc., and the installation position is often relatively low. It was necessary to insert the electric plug in a low unreasonable posture while looking into the outlet outlet facing from the bottom, but in the present invention, the outlet unit was rotated upward to Since it is possible to insert an electric plug into the outlet outlet that faces, it is possible to insert the electric plug easily. (3) Since the installed outdoor outlet body does not protrude from the wall surface and is inconspicuous, the exterior of the building will be beautiful. (4) When not in use, the outlet port is inside the case, so that dust, dirt, etc. are less likely to adhere to the outlet port. In addition, insects can be prevented from entering the outlet port in areas where insects are present.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a state when the present invention is not used. The rotating unit having the outlet is housed in the case 1 and the outlet is in the case. The outer surface of the case 1 and the rotary unit that are visible from the outside are almost the same surface, and the gap between the rotary unit and the case 1 is very small to prevent entry of dust, dirt, and the like. In addition, when viewed from the outside, the outlet itself is not visible, and it has a clean appearance and is beautiful.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a state in use of the present invention. When not in use, the outer surface of the case 1 and the rotary unit 2 that are visible from the outside are substantially the same surface, but when in use, the rotary unit 2 is rotated at an angle of the rotation range 6 about the rotary shaft 3 by pressing the pressing position 8. Rotating, the outlet port 7 appears outside, and the electric plug 5 can be inserted. The case 1 and the rotary unit 2 are kept in a state determined by the engagement of the rotary unit side stopper 21 and the case side stoppers 20a, 20b, and 20c.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a state in use rotated to the opposite side to FIG. By pushing the pushing position 9, the rotating unit 2 rotates in the direction opposite to that shown in FIG. The rotating unit 2 has a structure that rotates in either direction as shown in the rotating range 6 of FIG. 2 and the rotating range 10 of FIG. 3 so that the outlet port is exposed. It can be used by rotating in any direction.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a non-use state in which the outlet 100 of the present invention is rotated 90 degrees vertically along the wall surface. The use state described so far is based on the premise that the rotary unit 2 is rotated up and down around the rotary shaft 3, but FIG. 4 shows the rotary unit 2 horizontally around the rotary shaft 3. It is based on the assumption that it will be rotated. Depending on the situation of use, for example, when this outlet 200 is installed in a corridor in the home, it seems more convenient to rotate left and right.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a state when the outlet 200 is used. The rotating structure is the same as in FIG. 2 described above. As shown in the rotating range 11 and rotating range 12, the rotating unit 2 can rotate in either direction, and after rotation, the outlet port 7 appears outside and the electric plug 5 is inserted. It becomes possible.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view for explaining a problem of a conventional indoor outlet. In the conventional indoor outlet, since the outlet 301 is always exposed, there are problems as described in “Problems to be solved by the invention” as follows.

FIG. 7 is a front view of the outlet 100 of the present invention. FIG. 8 illustrates a state in which the cross section ab of the front view is not used. In the non-use state, the outlet port 7 is housed in the case 1 to prevent entry of dust, dirt, and the like. In addition, the outlet itself is beautiful when viewed from the outside, with the outlet opening hidden and a clean appearance.

FIG. 9 illustrates a state when the cross section ab in the front view is used. The rotary unit 2 rotates around the rotary shaft 3 at an angle of the rotation range 6 and the outlet port 7 appears outside, and the electric plug 5 Can be inserted. The case 1 and the rotary unit 2 are kept in a state determined by the engagement of the rotary unit side stopper 21 and the case side stoppers 20a, 20b, and 20c. The rotation range 10 is an explanation when the rotation range 10 is rotated in the opposite direction to the rotation range 6.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the problems of a conventional outdoor outlet. The conventional outdoor outlet has a protrusion 402 from the wall surface, which hinders passage and work. However, in the present invention, the outlet main body is substantially flat with the wall surface when not in use, and does not hinder passage or work. In the case of conventional outdoor outlets, the outlet port 401 faces downward and the installation position is often relatively low for the purpose of preventing rain from entering. The electric plug was inserted in an unreasonable posture while checking the outlet from the top to the top, but in the present invention, the rotating unit rotates upward, and the electric plug can be inserted from above, making work easier. .

FIG. 11 is a perspective view illustrating a state in use of a type in which a movable unit having an outlet port slides. When not in use, the outer surfaces of the case 50a and the slide unit 50b that are visible from the outside are substantially the same surface. However, when in use, the slide unit 50b protrudes from the wall surface and the outlet port 7 appears outside so that an electric plug can be inserted. .
