Description
【０００１】[0001]
本考案は電気機器、より具体的には電気機器の稼働状態を可視表示するコンセ ントプラグを有する電気機器に関する。 The present invention relates to an electric device, and more particularly, to an electric device having a concent plug for visually displaying an operating state of the electric device.
【０００２】[0002]
一般に多くの電気機器は、交流電力が供給されるコンセントにコンセントプラ グを接続し、これより供給される電力により動作する。このような電気機器にお いて、コンセントに１台の電気機器が接続されている場合には問題は生じないが 、複数の電気機器のコンセントプラグがコンセントに接続されている場合、しば しばコンセントプラグに対応する電気機器がわからなくなることがあった。 In general, many electric devices connect an outlet plug to an outlet to which AC power is supplied, and operate with the power supplied from this. In such electrical equipment, if one electrical equipment is connected to the outlet, no problem will occur, but if the outlet plugs of multiple electrical equipments are connected to the outlet, it often happens. Sometimes I couldn't figure out which electrical device was compatible with the outlet plug.
【０００３】 とくに多数の電気機器を仮設状態で使用するときには、電源や信号のケーブル が入組んでいたり、様々なルートでコンセントに接続される場合が多いため、一 層判別が困難になる。このような状況で、ある電気機器のコンセントプラグを抜 くときに、間違えて稼働中の他の電気機器のコンセントプラグを引き抜いてしま うと、これの動作が停止して重大な障害を引き起こすことがあるため、作業者は 十分注意してコンセントプラグの引抜き作業を行なっていた。Especially when a large number of electric devices are used in a temporary state, it is often difficult to perform one-layer discrimination because power supply and signal cables are complicated and they are often connected to outlets through various routes. In such a situation, if you accidentally pull out the outlet plug of one electric device and pull out the outlet plug of another electric device that is in operation, it may stop working and cause a serious failure. Therefore, the worker had to be careful enough to pull out the outlet plug.
【０００４】[0004]
しかしながらこのように十分注意しても、コンセントプラグから当該電気機器 が動作中であるかどうかの判別ができないため、所望した電子機器以外のコンセ ントプラグを引き抜くことがしばしば発生し、それに伴うトラブルを完全に回避 することができなかった。とくに、近年の電気機器は、設定やデータを揮発性の 半導体メモリーに記憶しているものが多くあり、保存処理をしない状態で電源が 切れると、設定やデータが消失して復旧に多大の時間を要することがある。 However, even with such sufficient attention, it is not possible to determine from the outlet plug whether or not the electric device is in operation, so it is often the case that the plug other than the desired electronic device is pulled out, and the troubles associated therewith are completely eliminated. I couldn't avoid it. In particular, many electric devices in recent years store settings and data in volatile semiconductor memory.If the power is turned off without saving the data, the settings and data will be lost and it will take a lot of time to recover. May be required.
【０００５】 本考案はこのような従来技術の欠点を解消し、電気機器が稼働中かどうかをコ ンセントプラグにより確認することができるようにすることで、動作中の電気機 器のコンセントプラグを誤って引き抜くことを防止できる稼働中表示付きコンセ ントプラグを備えた電気機器を提供することを目的とする。The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and makes it possible to confirm whether or not an electric device is in operation by using a plug, so that the outlet plug of the electric device in operation can be checked. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric device equipped with a contact plug with an operating indicator that can prevent accidental pulling out.
【０００６】 なお、本明細書において用いる用語「電気機器」は、通信機器、情報機器また は電源機器等の電子装置等も含むものとする。Note that the term “electrical device” used in this specification includes electronic devices such as communication devices, information devices, or power supply devices.

本考案は前述の課題を解決するために、コンセントプラグ７を介して電源に接 続され、この電源により稼働する電気機器８は、電気機器８が稼働中のときに発 光するこの電気機器８側に設けられた発光手段３と、発光手段３で発光した光を 導く光ファイバケーブル５と、光ファイバケーブル５により導かれた光を出力す るコンセントプラグ７側に設けられた出射端６とを有する。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is such that an electric device 8 connected to a power source through an outlet plug 7 and operated by this power source emits light when the electric device 8 is in operation. Side, a light emitting means 3 provided on the side, an optical fiber cable 5 for guiding the light emitted by the light emitting means 3, and an emitting end 6 provided on the side of the outlet plug 7 for outputting the light guided by the optical fiber cable 5.

本考案によれば、電気機器８が稼働中のとき発光手段３に電流が供給されこれ が発光する。発光手段３の光は光ファイバケーブル５に導かれ、コンセントプラ グ７側に設けられた出射端６より外部に出射される。 According to the present invention, when the electric device 8 is in operation, a current is supplied to the light emitting means 3, which emits light. The light of the light emitting means 3 is guided to the optical fiber cable 5 and emitted from the emission end 6 provided on the outlet plug 7 side to the outside.

次に添付図面を参照して本考案による稼働中表示付きコンセントプラグを備え た電気機器の実施例を詳細に説明する。 Next, an embodiment of an electric device having an outlet plug with an operating indicator according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
【００１０】 図１は本考案による稼働中表示付きコンセントプラグを備えた電気機器の実施 例を示す実体図である。なお、同図では本考案の理解を助けるために、本考案に 直接関係のある構成要素が示されており、直接関係のないたとえば電気機器８の 内部回路等は略して記載していない。FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of an electric device having an outlet plug with an operating indicator according to the present invention. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, constituent elements directly related to the present invention are shown in the figure, and an internal circuit of the electric device 8 which is not directly related to the present invention is not shown for brevity.
【００１１】 コネクタ１は、電気機器側に設けられたコネクタであり、電源ケーブル側のコ ネクタ２と接続される。コネクタ１はまた、発光ダイオード等の比較的輝度の高 い発光素子３が取り付けられている。発光素子３は、電気機器８が稼働中の場合 にこれより供給される電流によって発光する素子であり、コネクタ２に内蔵され ている光ファイバケーブル５に対面する位置に配設されている。The connector 1 is a connector provided on the electric device side and is connected to the connector 2 on the power cable side. The connector 1 is also provided with a light emitting element 3 having a relatively high brightness such as a light emitting diode. The light emitting element 3 is an element that emits light when a current is supplied from the electric device 8 when the electric device 8 is in operation, and is arranged at a position facing the optical fiber cable 5 built in the connector 2.
【００１２】 光ファイバケーブル５は、コネクタ２と電源ケーブル４を通してこれらに内蔵 され、コンセントプラグ７に取り付けられた出射端６に接続されている。出射端 ６は光ファイバケーブルの出射端であり、光の出射角度を広げ視認性を高めるた め、散光レンズ等が取り付けられている。出射端６はまた、コンセントプラグ７ がコンセント（図示せず）に差し込まれた場合に、これより出力される光が認識 し易いように、図１に示すようにコンセントプラグ７の背面に設けられている。 コンセントプラグ７は、たとえばＡＣ１００ＶまたはＡＣ２００Ｖ電源のコン セントに差し込まれるコンセントであり、電源ケーブル４を介して電気機器８に 電力を供給する。The optical fiber cable 5 is built in these through the connector 2 and the power supply cable 4, and is connected to the emission end 6 attached to the outlet plug 7. The exit end 6 is the exit end of the optical fiber cable, and a diffusing lens or the like is attached in order to widen the exit angle of light and enhance the visibility. The emitting end 6 is also provided on the back surface of the outlet plug 7 as shown in FIG. 1 so that the light emitted from the outlet plug 7 can be easily recognized when the outlet plug 7 is inserted into an outlet (not shown). ing. The outlet plug 7 is, for example, an outlet that is plugged into the outlet of an AC 100V or AC 200V power source, and supplies electric power to the electric device 8 via the power cable 4.
【００１３】 本実施例において、コンセントプラグ７がコンセントに差し込まれ、電気機器 ８の動作スイッチ（図示せず）がオンされると、発光素子３に電流が供給されこ れが点灯する。発光素子３から出射端６の散光レンズまでは、光ファイバ５によ って光学的に繋がっているため、発光素子３の光はファイバケーブル５の出射端 ６の散光レンズより外部に出射される。In the present embodiment, when the outlet plug 7 is inserted into the outlet and the operation switch (not shown) of the electric device 8 is turned on, a current is supplied to the light emitting element 3 to light it. Since the light emitting element 3 to the diffuser lens at the emitting end 6 are optically connected by the optical fiber 5, the light of the light emitting element 3 is emitted to the outside from the diffuser lens at the emitting end 6 of the fiber cable 5. .
【００１４】 このように本実施例によれば、光ファイバケーブルを用いて発光部と光の出射 部とを分離した胃カメラの照明装置や太陽光線を地下室に誘導する照明装置等の 技術を応用し、信頼性の高い稼働中表示をコンセントプラグに設けることが可能 となる。As described above, according to the present embodiment, the technology such as a lighting device for a gastric camera and a lighting device for guiding sun rays to the basement are separated by using the optical fiber cable to separate the light emitting portion and the light emitting portion. However, it is possible to provide a reliable operating indicator on the outlet plug.
【００１５】 なお、ここで説明した実施例は本考案を説明するためのものであって、本考案 は必ずしもこれに限定されるものではなく、本考案の精神を逸脱することなく当 業者が可能な変形および修正は本考案の範疇に含まれる。すなわち、本考案は電 気機器の稼働状態に応じて発光素子を発光させ、この光を光ファイバケーブルに よりコンセントプラグに導いたものであり、これと同様な技術は本考案の範囲に 含まれる。It should be noted that the embodiments described here are for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and a person skilled in the art can do without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Such variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. In other words, the present invention is one in which a light emitting element is caused to emit light according to the operating state of an electric device and this light is guided to an outlet plug by an optical fiber cable, and a technique similar to this is included in the scope of the present invention. .
【００１６】[0016]
このように本考案によれば、作業者は、コンセントプラグ７を引き抜く際、コ ンセントプラグ７に設けられた散光レンズの光で、これにつながっている電気機 器８が現在稼働状態にあるかどうかを判断できる。このため、稼働中の電気機器 のコンセントプラグを間違って引き抜くことを防止できる。また、本考案によれ ば、発光素子３の点灯制御を行なう電気的回路が電気機器内部にあるため、外部 より雑音を受けたり外部へ不要輻射を放出したりすることがない。 As described above, according to the present invention, when the worker pulls out the outlet plug 7, whether the electric device 8 connected to the outlet plug 7 is currently in operation by the light of the diffusing lens provided on the plug 7 You can judge. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the outlet plug of the operating electric device from being accidentally pulled out. Further, according to the present invention, since the electric circuit for controlling the lighting of the light emitting element 3 is provided inside the electric device, noise is not received from the outside and unnecessary radiation is not emitted to the outside.
