Abstract

PURPOSE:To make switches of different appliances compatible between each other by connecting a power connector with a changing switch through an extension cable, and disposing an inlet and the changing switch in installation surfaces of a box-shaped case. CONSTITUTION:The device includes an inlet 2 installed in one end surface of a box-shaped case 1, and a changing switch 3 installed in one of other surfaces 1B crossing the inlet-installed surface 1A of the case 1. This changing switch 3 is connected with a power connector 5 through an extension cable 4. The case 1 is provided with guide rail parts 2A, 3A at one end of the installation surfaces of the inlet 2 and the changing switch 3 to be used for installation. The guide rail parts 2A, 3A are provided extending along the flat direction of the case 1 without crossing each other. When the box-shaped case 1 is used for a power source switch, it can be installed at any position where it is more convenient for use.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a switch device, and particularly to a power switch device used in electronic equipment and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, power supply inlets and switches in printing devices and other electronic devices have been different depending on the model. [Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to improve the disadvantages of the prior art, and in particular to improve the power supply inlet and switch between different devices. An object of the present invention is to provide a unit-type switch device that is compatible.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, an inlet is provided on one end surface of the box-shaped case, and a changeover switch is provided on one of the other surfaces perpendicular to the inlet mounting surface. A power connector is connected to this changeover switch via a pull-out cable, and the inlet and changeover switch are arranged in the center of each mounting surface of the box-shaped case.

This aims to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has an inlet 2 installed on one end surface of a box-shaped case 1, and a changeover switch 3 installed on one of the other surfaces IB orthogonal to the inlet mounting surface IA of the box-shaped case 1. It is equipped with

A power connector 5 is connected to the changeover switch 3 via a pull-out cable 4.

Here, the box-shaped case 1 has a slightly flattened shape, and its plane has a substantially square shape. This box-shaped case 1 has guide rail parts 2A and 3 that are used when mounting the inlet 2 and the changeover switch 3 at one end of each mounting surface.
A is provided.

The guide rail portions 2A and 3A extend along the flat direction of the box-shaped case 1 without intersecting each other.

Each of the inlet 2 and the changeover switch 3 is arranged at the center of each of the mounting surfaces of the box-shaped case 1 described above. As a result, when the box-shaped case 1 is used as a power switch for a printer main body or other electronic equipment, it can be easily used regardless of where it is installed.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is installed in the printer main body 20. Further, reference numeral 10 indicates a ground terminal.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, a power supply inlet and a switch used in a printing device, etc. are housed in the same case to form a unit, and they are installed vertically symmetrically from the center in the height direction. Therefore, it can be installed at the four corners of the housing base, etc., and can be used as a standard unit that is compatible with different equipment, reducing design man-hours, ease of maintenance, compatibility, and materials. It is possible to provide an unprecedented and excellent switching device that can be rationalized in all aspects, such as improving productivity through rationalization and commonality of management.
