Description

  The present invention uses power poles used to extend power lines so that power can be supplied to all areas where power is to be supplied, and power can be supplied at the installation positions of the power poles. Regarding the supply system.

  Conventionally, when performing some work that requires power in a mountainous area or the like where no power supply means is provided, a portable generator is brought to the site and electric power is obtained by private power generation. In addition, when a car breaks down in a mountainous area, lighting is necessary for fault repair and inspection, but no lighting means can be obtained other than a portable flashlight. In addition, although there is a facility that can charge a mobile phone for a fee in a parking area on an expressway, etc., it is not possible to charge a mobile phone in a mountainous area or the like.

Utility Model Registration No. 3066254

  In mountainous areas where power supply means are not provided, portable power generators are used for some work using electric vehicles, electric farm equipment, etc., such as road construction. Such a generator is relatively heavy, and requires a lot of labor and labor to carry. Further, the cost of the generator itself is high, and the running cost is also high. For this reason, temporary power poles are sometimes set up to temporarily draw power lines, but in this case, it takes time and cost to install temporary power poles. Troubles may occur with those who do.

  In addition, as mentioned above, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure lighting at the time of repair even if it is in a state that can be repaired with minor repairs, such as when a car breaks down in the mountain at night at the individual level. is there. Furthermore, regarding the mobile phone, when the power is cut off during mountain climbing or the like, the power cannot be replenished. In particular, emergency situations such as rescue work for climbers are often inconvenient because there is no power supply.

  For this reason, conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, it has been disclosed to install an outlet on a power pole used to supply power without being supplied to an area where power is to be supplied. However, installing an outlet on a utility pole requires attaching a control unit for connecting a lead-in cable and an operation unit having an outlet to the utility pole, and cannot be easily implemented. In addition, since the outlet is exposed to the outside, rain, dust, etc. easily enter the connection portion of the outlet, causing these failures. Moreover, since the operation part etc. which have an outlet socket are attached to the outer side surface of the utility pole, this operation part etc. will be in the state protruded from the outer side surface of the utility pole, and an external appearance is impaired. Furthermore, since the operation part etc. are attached to the position where the hand of the person on the outer side of the utility pole can easily reach, there is a possibility that the protruding operation part may hinder the passage of people, cars, and the like.

  For this reason, a patent application of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-196711 has been filed by the applicant of the present patent application, and a power supply connection portion or the like is disposed inside the utility pole, and this power supply connection portion is closed by a lid and shut off from the outside. The invention as described above has been proposed. Thereby, all the drawbacks of the invention described in Patent Document 1 can be solved, which is extremely useful in that sense. However, parts that constitute the power supply connection portion must be attached to each power pole, and there are many problems that must be solved from a cost standpoint.

  The present invention is a utility pole having a device connection part for connecting a communication cable and a power line connected to a switch that is opened and closed by a command from a central command room given through the communication cable, and A control box having an outlet to which an external device is connected and a mobile phone connector unit, and having an authentication means for authenticating a user via the communication cable, and being separably connected to the device connection unit of the utility pole It is a power supply system consisting of

  Accordingly, a control box having an outlet to which an external device is connected and a connector portion of a mobile phone and having an authentication means for authenticating a user via a communication cable and being separably connected to a device connection portion of a utility pole The power supply can be obtained at any utility pole as long as the user possesses it, and thus the power can be easily obtained even in a mountainous area or the like with extremely low equipment costs. The practical use can be further facilitated while maintaining the useful points proposed in 196711. In particular, since the control box has an outlet to which an external device is connected and a connector part of a mobile phone and is provided with an authentication means for authenticating a user through a communication cable, these main components are connected to the outside air. Can be maintained stably without being exposed to the light, and being provided in the portable control box can reduce the number of these high-cost devices, It is easy to withdraw, and the type of user authentication means can be varied, such as reading licenses, credit cards, and mobile phone numbers.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, in FIG. 1, hollow utility poles 2 are installed in various places for extending a distribution line 1 that supplies power without being supplied to an area where power is to be supplied. A brace 3 is attached horizontally to the utility pole 2, and the distribution line 1 is held by the brace 3. In addition to the original function of power supply, the distribution line 1 also has a function as a communication line that acts as an information transmission means connected to the central control room 4 (see FIG. 2). The distribution line 1 is connected to the lead-in branch terminal box 5 attached to the arm metal 3, and the terminal board 7 provided inside the power pole 2 is connected via the lead-in cable 6. Yes. The terminal board 7 is covered with an opening / closing lid 8 so that rain dew is not applied. In addition, an opening / closing lid 9 is provided below the utility pole 2 set to a height at which an operator or the like can easily operate, and a device connection portion 10 is provided inside the opening / closing lid 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the device connection unit 10 and the terminal board 7 are connected by a connection cable 13 including a power line 11 and a communication cable 12. And the said apparatus connection part 10 is connected to the connection part 14 with which the control box mentioned later is connected, the switch 15 which interrupts | blocks the power supply by the said power wire 11, and the said communication cable 12 is opened and closed. And an open / close control unit 16 for performing the above.

  Next, the structure of the control box 17 will be described with reference to FIGS. The control box 17 is small and portable, and has a connection portion 18 connected to the connection portion 14 at one end thereof. The connection unit 18 is connected to a control unit 21 to which a ROM 19 and a RAM 20 having a function as a storage unit are connected. The control unit 21 is connected to a plurality of outlets 24 that enable electrical connection to the external device 23 via the current measurement unit 22. The external device 23 connected to these outlets 24 is an electric vehicle, an electric farm equipment, a lighting fixture, or the like. The current measuring unit 22 is connected to a mobile phone connector unit 25 for charging the mobile phone. The outlet 24 and the mobile phone connector 25 are arranged on the front surface of the control box 17. Further, a display unit 26, an operation unit 27, a card reader 28, and an OCR (optical reading device) 29 are arranged on the front surface of the control box 17, and these display unit 26, operation unit 27, card reader 28, and OCR 29 are arranged. Is connected to the control unit 21. The card reader 28 reads a user's credit card and other cards 30, and the OCR 29 reads a user's driver's license 31. By reading the credit card or other card 30, reading the driver's license 31, or reading the number of the mobile phone 32 connected to the mobile phone connector unit 25, the central control room 4 has a user Is specified or authorized, and thereby, an authentication means is configured.

  In such a configuration, when electric power is required in a mountainous area or the like, the open / close lid 9 of the utility pole 2 is opened to expose the device connection portion 10, and the connection portion 18 of the control box 17 is connected to the device connection portion 10. Connecting. This control box 17 is of a portable type and is used as a rental from an electric power company or the like. Of course, it is also possible for the user to keep it as self-owned. Thus, after attaching the control box 17 to the utility pole 2, the user is authenticated by the power company by the authentication means. There are several methods for this authentication as described above. That is, as one means, a card 30 such as a credit card or a prepaid card is inserted into the card reader 28, and the authentication unit is started by operating the operation unit 27. Regarding the authentication procedure at this time, since the procedure is displayed on the display unit 26, the displayed procedure is followed. The read data is transmitted to the central control room 4 via the communication cable 12 of the connection cable 13 and after the user is specified, the power supply is permitted. In other words, the user is registered in advance with the power company, or the power supply is permitted on the condition that the credit company is registered and the settlement process is reliable, and if the permission is granted, A signal is sent to the open / close control unit 16 via the communication cable 12 to close the switch 15 and enable power supply from the power line 11. As a result, when the external device 23 is connected to the outlet 24, power is supplied to the external device 23, which can be used. The power consumption during the operation of the external device 23 is measured by the current measuring unit 22, and the power consumption is stored in the RAM 20. This power consumption is also recorded in the central control room 4. In the state where the record in the central control room 4 and the record in the control box 17 coincide with each other, the power supply to the external device 23 is continued. However, when the coincidence cannot be obtained for some reason, the power supply stop command is issued. Is output from the central control room 4, the power supply is stopped, and the procedure for power supply is restarted from the beginning.

  As a user authentication method, a second means is to use a driver's license 31. In this case, the driver's license 31 is held over the OCR 29 to read the contents, and the power supply is authenticated by authorization of a predetermined item. Further, as a third means, the mobile phone 32 is set on the mobile phone connector unit 25, and the telephone number of the mobile phone 32 is recognized to determine whether power can be supplied. In the state where the mobile phone 32 is set in the mobile phone connector section 25, the IP phone can be used to make a call. Therefore, communication with the central control room 4 is possible even in a place where the radio waves of the mobile phone 32 do not reach.

  In this way, power can be supplied to the external device 23 at the standing position of the utility pole 2, but when the operation is stopped after receiving the necessary power supply, the operation is stopped and the control box 17 is operated. Is removed from the utility pole 2 and the open / close lid 9 is closed. Since the user charge is specified before the power supply, the charge for the power used in this way is charged to the user's transfer account and the like and settled.

  Note that the voltage applied to the outlet 24 of the control box 17 is lowered to 100 V or 200 V by a transformer (not shown), and is due to the high voltage supplied by the distribution line 1 held by the utility pole 2. Is different.

  Next, in a mountainous area, even when the power supply of the mobile phone 32 is lowered and becomes unusable, the mobile phone 32 is set in the mobile phone connector portion 25 and power is supplied to the external device 23 described above. The mobile phone 32 can be charged by performing the same operation as. Of course, even in this case, since the power supplied to the mobile phone 32 is measured by the current measuring unit 22, the user is definitely charged.

In addition, as installation conditions of the utility pole 2 provided with the apparatus connection part 10,
(1) Mountainous areas, mountainous roadways, etc. where power cannot be taken in the surroundings (2) Locations where radio waves from mobile phones 32 do not reach (3) Locations where construction of public facilities, etc. is expected in the future (4) Accidents This is a place where a power source is considered necessary for handling and handling in the event of a disaster.

  As described above, the control box 17 having a high component cost is brought to the user, and the number of the control box 17 is limited to the user. The cost of building a supply system is low.
