Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an equipment unit. More specifically, the present invention relates to various equipment units such as a vanity and a system kitchen, which can simplify and facilitate wiring work for each electric device and improve workability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for various equipment units installed in a room such as a house, a user can work more easily and easily, and comfortably.
Higher functionality and combination of various functions are being pursued.
Along with this, a wide variety of electric devices have been installed in the equipment units.

For example, FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a vanity as an example of such an equipment unit. The vanity (a) is equipped with a lighting device, an anti-fog heater, etc. In the case of a vanity with a high added value, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the built-in dryer (a) is used. , Electronic mixing faucet (c), audio equipment (d), and various electric equipment such as instant water heater. Electric power is supplied to these electric devices (a), (c), and (d) by connecting to a residential distribution board. For this reason, a plurality of circuits are required as electric circuits for wiring connection.

In the case of the bathroom vanity shown in FIG. 5, for example, three points A, B, and C shown in the figure are connected to the residential distribution board. Then, in the wiring work, for example, as shown in FIG.
The two circuits (e), (f), (ki) are drawn out from the predetermined locations on the wall surface (h) of the house and connected to the electrical equipment (a) (c) (d). It should be noted that one of these circuits (K) is branched in the inner wall surface section (K).

[0005]

However, for example, in the conventional equipment unit such as the bathroom vanity shown in FIG. 5, a specialized equipment contractor and an electric contractor are required for the facility work and the electric work, respectively. Therefore, there was a problem in that each work was involved in the construction, and the work was disputed between the equipment contractor and the electric contractor. This is mainly due to the electric work problem of drawing a plurality of indoor wirings from the wall surface (K) in the house in the electric wiring work illustrated in FIG.
The fact that one circuit (K) among them has to be branched inside the inner wall surface (K) has also promoted the problem. Such a construction problem is particularly manifested in the case of a system kitchen (ke) as shown in FIG. 7, for example, since a large number of electric devices are incorporated therein, and the construction workability of the equipment unit is improved. Is strongly requested.

Also, with respect to the maintenance of the wiring, there is a drawback that it is necessary to deal with each connection with each electric device, and the maintenance work is very troublesome and time-consuming. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, eliminates the drawbacks of conventional equipment units,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved equipment unit capable of simplifying and facilitating the wiring work to each electric device, eliminating the inconvenience between the equipment work and the electric work, and achieving the work saving.

[0007]
