DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a home automation system that can remotely control the operation of various electronic devices installed in a house. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In conventional home automation systems, control lines and power supply lines are wired to each control device, so as the number of control devices increases, the control lines and power supply lines become more and more complex. [Problem to be solved by the invention] For this reason, when attempting to expand the home automation system by expanding the house, additional signal lines and power supply lines must be wired from the controller and distribution board, making it difficult to take expandability into account. As a result, the conventional system had a problem in that it required major demolition of a large part of the existing house, such as large-scale interior remodeling. Another problem was that the wiring method became complicated. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such problems,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a home automation system that does not require demolition of an existing house when expanding the home automation system due to the expansion of the house. Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a home automation system in which electronic devices installed in each room of a house can be remotely controlled by a controller, in which the controller and each of the A branch unit for weak electric power for transferring control signals to and from electronic devices and a branch unit for high electric power for supplying power to each of the electronic devices are distributed in each of the rooms, and the branch units for high electric power are distributed in each of the rooms. The present invention is characterized in that the branch units are connected by feed wiring. [Function 1] In the present invention, the power supply line and control signal line for the electronic device are sent and wired by the branch unit, so that the wiring for the expansion system can be done from the existing branch unit. Therefore, there is no need for wiring from the distribution board and controller as in the conventional case. [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a system configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a control signal line 13 for transferring a control signal from a controller 10 is routed by a branch unit 11. As shown in FIG. Further, the power supply line 22 from the power receiving and transforming equipment 20 of the residence is sent and routed by the branch unit 21 . The branch unit 11.21 is provided in each room, and branches and connects the control signal line 13 and the power supply line 22 to the electronic equipment provided in each room. The circuit configuration of the heavy electric branch unit 21 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the branch unit 21 has a connection terminal 21C for sending and branching the power supply line 22.
521E is provided. Connection terminal 21C12
1E is provided with a circuit breaker 21B between the 0 branch terminal 21E, which removably connects the power supply line 22 with screws, screws, etc., and the branch part of the power supply line 22, and the circuit breaker 21B is connected to the controller via the return button 21A or the connection terminal 210. The power supply line on the branch side is cut off/connected by the control□ signal received from the branch. Such an electric circuit is constructed in the case 21 as shown in Fig. 3.
Stored in F. The circuit configuration of the branch unit 12 for light electric current is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the branch unit 12 has a connector 103 for sending and connecting the control signal line on the controller side.
is provided. The connector 103 may be one compatible with the transmission form of the control signal, and in this example, a pin-connected bus connector is used. A connection terminal 106 is provided on the branch side signal line, and the branch side control signal line is connected with a screw. An interface (or bus switch) 105 is provided between the connection terminal 106 and the branch section to disconnect/connect the control signal line on the controller side and the control signal line on the branch side. The interface (Ilo) 105 disconnects/connects the control signal line and converts the level of the control signal according to instructions from the decoder 104. The decoder 104 is connected to the address bus in the control signal line 13, and when it detects the address signal assigned to its own branch unit 12, it opens the gate of the AND circuit 104A and receives a disconnection/connection instruction from the controller on the data bus. is transferred to Ilo 106 via AND circuit 104A. The outer surface of such a branch unit is also protected by the case 107. If you use such a branch unit to install a home automation system when building a new house, when expanding a room, the branch line of the branch unit in the room closest to the expanded room will be further branched by the branch unit, It becomes possible to draw power supply lines and control signal lines into the room. In addition to this embodiment, the following examples can be given. 1) Each heavy electric branch unit 21 in this embodiment is equipped with a circuit breaker 2.
1B, however, as shown in FIG. 6, a breaker 52 may be provided on the power supply line from the power receiving and transforming equipment. Further, the branch unit for heavy current and the unit for low current may be integrated within the scope permitted by regulations. 2) In the heavy-power branch unit 21 of this embodiment, all the power supply lines on the branch side can be cut off by one circuit breaker 21B, but when turning on/off the power of electronic equipment using this circuit breaker, A circuit breaker will be provided for each branch feeder line. 3) In addition to the remote cut-off control function of the heavy-power branch unit 21, it is of course possible to add automatic detection of overcurrent and overvoltage, and automatic cut-off function of the power supply line. Effects of the Invention J As explained above, according to the present invention, branch wiring can be standardized, and when newly built, it can be divided into each room.
By adding a cutoff function to the branch unit between the controlled device and the branch unit, it becomes possible to use existing electronic equipment. Furthermore, even if the current used by all the electronic devices in the house exceeds the allowable current, the power supply can be stopped on a room-by-room basis, so there is no power outage for the entire house.
