Description
本発明は光通信を確立する装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an apparatus for establishing optical communication.
従来、光コネクタが知られる。例えば、特許第４８６５８９８号公報に記載の技術は、凹状電極を備え、光伝送路を支持する支持部を備え、支持部が横側からの付勢手段により、第１所定位置に設定され、第２所定位置に移動可能となっていることを特徴とする商用電源用コンセントの技術が開示されている。 Conventionally, an optical connector is known. For example, the technology described in Japanese Patent No. 4865898 includes a concave electrode, a support portion that supports an optical transmission line, the support portion is set at a first predetermined position by a biasing means from the side, 2. A technology of a commercial power outlet characterized by being movable to a predetermined position is disclosed.
ところで、上記従来の光コネクタは、米国規格の電気コンセントで光接続を行う光コネクタの形態をなしており、対応するプラグが接地極を備えているので、日本国内で普及している２極式プラグを差し込む電気コンセントに接続できないと言った問題があった。さらに、電気コンセントに接続された光コネクタは、レーザー光を外部に発していると言った問題があった。 By the way, the above-mentioned conventional optical connector is in the form of an optical connector that performs optical connection with a US standard electrical outlet, and since the corresponding plug has a grounding electrode, a two-pole type that is widely used in Japan. There was a problem that it could not be connected to the electrical outlet into which the plug was inserted. Furthermore, the optical connector connected to the electrical outlet has a problem that it emits laser light to the outside.
そこで、本発明の目的は、光伝送路を支持する支持部を可倒させた場合に、レーザー光を遮蔽する可倒式光コネクタを提供することにある。また、電源供給後の所定の時間迄にネットワーク側と光通信が確立できなかった場合に、レーザー光の送信を停止する装置を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a retractable optical connector that shields laser light when a support portion that supports an optical transmission path is tilted. Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for stopping the transmission of laser light when optical communication with the network side cannot be established by a predetermined time after power supply.
上記課題を解決するため本発明の装置は、光ファイバがコネクタの正面から突出し、前記正面に伏せた状態に可倒させることができる前記コネクタ側から電源供給されたときに、ネットワーク側と光通信を確立するためにレーザー光を送信するが、所定の時間迄に前記光通信が確立しなかったときに、前記レーザー光の送信を停止することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the apparatus of the present invention has an optical fiber that protrudes from the front surface of the connector and is optically communicated with the network side when power is supplied from the connector side that can be tilted down to the front surface. Laser light is transmitted to establish the transmission, but when the optical communication is not established by a predetermined time, the transmission of the laser light is stopped.
本発明によれば、可倒式光コネクタは、光伝送路（１４）を支持する支持部（１３）を可倒させた場合に、レーザー光を遮蔽することが容易となる。さらに、装置は、電源供給後の所定の時間迄にネットワーク側と光通信が確立できなかった場合に、レーザー光の送信を停止させることが可能となる。 According to the present invention, the retractable optical connector can easily shield the laser light when the support portion (13) supporting the optical transmission line (14) is tilted. Furthermore, the apparatus can stop the transmission of laser light when optical communication with the network side cannot be established by a predetermined time after power supply.
以下、本発明の一実施の形態について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
図１は実施形態の電気光プラグの構成図の一例である。
例えば、電気光プラグ１は、２つの電力電極１２と１つのアース電極１３がプラグ正面１０から並行に突出し、アース電極１３が光ファイバなどの光伝送路１４を支持している（ａを参照のこと）。また、プラグ正面１０に可倒溝１１があり、アース電極１３を可倒溝１１内に倒して、アース電極１３をプラグ正面１０側に伏せた状態にすることが可能である（ｂを参照のこと）。また、レーザー光を吸収するとともに、可倒させたアース電極１３の内側に収まるように配置されたレーザー光遮蔽板１５が、該アース電極１３が支持する光伝送路１４の端面と対向するように可倒溝１１内に備わる。また、米国の電気コンセントの規格を満たす光コネクタに接続して光接続構造を形成するとともに、日本国内で普及しているアース電極を差し込めない２極の電気コンセントに接続することが容易である。また、他国や他地域の規格の電気コンセントに適応する構造に適宜変更することも可能である。アース電極１３は、支持軸によって電気光プラグ１に支持されており、支持軸にトーションばねを設けて、プラグ正面１０から突出した状態に付勢させてもよい。また、日本国内で流通している可倒式接地極を備えた電源プラグ（日動工業製）と同様の構造を備えてもよい。電力電極１２、アース電極１３および光伝送路１４は、光ファイバと電線を複合した電気光コード２を経由して情報処理装置３に接続されている。
FIG. 1 is an example of a configuration diagram of an electric light plug according to the embodiment.
For example, in the electric optical plug 1, two power electrodes 12 and one ground electrode 13 protrude in parallel from the plug front surface 10, and the ground electrode 13 supports an optical transmission line 14 such as an optical fiber (see a). about). Further, the plug front surface 10 has a tiltable groove 11, and the ground electrode 13 can be tilted into the tiltable groove 11 so that the ground electrode 13 is faced down to the plug front surface 10 side (see b). about). Further, the laser beam shielding plate 15 arranged so as to absorb the laser beam and fit inside the tilted ground electrode 13 faces the end surface of the optical transmission line 14 supported by the ground electrode 13. Provided in the retractable groove 11. In addition, it is easy to connect to a two-pole electrical outlet that cannot be inserted into a ground electrode that is widely used in Japan, while forming an optical connection structure by connecting to an optical connector that meets the standards of US electrical outlets. It is also possible to change the structure appropriately to an electrical outlet conforming to the standards of other countries and regions. The ground electrode 13 may be supported by the electro-optical plug 1 by a support shaft, and a torsion spring may be provided on the support shaft so that the ground electrode 13 protrudes from the plug front surface 10. Moreover, you may provide the structure similar to the power plug (made by Nichido Kogyo) provided with the folding type grounding pole currently distribute | circulating in Japan. The power electrode 12, the ground electrode 13, and the optical transmission line 14 are connected to the information processing device 3 via an electro-optical cord 2 that combines an optical fiber and an electric wire.
例えば、図１の（ｂ）を構成する光通信システムは、その一例としてノート型パーソナルコンピュータが挙げられ、電気光プラグ１、電気光コード２、情報処理装置３、電源装置４から構成され、光接続を行う電気コンセントに電気光プラグ１を接続すると、商用電源が電気光プラグ１から電源装置４に供給され、電源装置４で商用電源が直流電源に変換されて情報処理装置３に供給されるとともに、電気光プラグ１と情報処理装置３間の電気光コード２の光ファイバにより光伝送路が形成されて情報処理装置３とネットワーク側間で光通信が可能となる。また、電源装置４に光信号と電気信号の変換部を設け、電源装置４と情報処理装置３間をLANケーブルなどで接続し情報処理装置３で通信を行わせる構成としてもよい。また、電源装置４が光信号および商用電源を分岐し、電気コンセントで光接続を行う少なくとも１つのコネクタを備えてテーブルタップなどの差込接続器を構成してもよい。また、電気光プラグ１に光接続を行う電気コンセントを複合させてもよい。電源装置４と情報処理装置３間の電気光コード２は、両端にコネクタを備えた構成が望ましい。電気光プラグ１は、電源装置４に複合してもよい。情報処理装置３および電源装置４は、電気光プラグ１側から電源が供給された場合に、ネットワーク側と光通信を確立するためにレーザー光を送信するが、所定の時間迄に該光通信が確立しなかった場合に、該レーザー光の送信を停止する構成が望ましい。また、ネットワーク側からレーザー光を受信した場合に、レーザー光を送信しネットワーク側と光通信を確立することとなる。 For example, the optical communication system that configures FIG. 1B includes a notebook personal computer as an example. The optical communication system includes an electric optical plug 1, an electric optical cord 2, an information processing device 3, and a power supply device 4. When the electro-optical plug 1 is connected to the electrical outlet to be connected, commercial power is supplied from the electro-optical plug 1 to the power supply device 4, and the commercial power is converted into DC power by the power supply device 4 and supplied to the information processing device 3. At the same time, an optical transmission path is formed by the optical fiber of the electro-optic cord 2 between the electro-optic plug 1 and the information processing device 3, and optical communication is possible between the information processing device 3 and the network side. Alternatively, the power supply device 4 may be provided with an optical signal / electrical signal conversion unit so that the power supply device 4 and the information processing device 3 are connected by a LAN cable or the like, and the information processing device 3 performs communication. Further, the power supply device 4 may be provided with at least one connector for branching the optical signal and the commercial power supply and performing optical connection with an electrical outlet, thereby constituting a plug connector such as a table tap. In addition, an electric outlet for optical connection may be combined with the electric light plug 1. The electro-optical cord 2 between the power supply device 4 and the information processing device 3 preferably has a configuration having connectors at both ends. The electro-optical plug 1 may be combined with the power supply device 4. When the power is supplied from the electric optical plug 1 side, the information processing device 3 and the power supply device 4 transmit laser light to establish optical communication with the network side, but the optical communication is not performed until a predetermined time. A configuration in which the transmission of the laser beam is stopped when it is not established is desirable. Further, when laser light is received from the network side, the laser light is transmitted to establish optical communication with the network side.
