JPH11273794A - Power outlet having vibration sensing function and guide light - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power outlet having a vibration sensing function that can sense the vibration of an earthquake, in particular when a large earthquake occurs, can stop power feeding to various kinds of electric appliances, and can turn on a guide light helpful to evacuation in the dark. SOLUTION: By making use of an electromagnetic relay 1 having a vibration sensing function, the relay, a small bulb and a set (reset) switch 3 are incorporated into and integrated with a power outlet 5. Then, the power outlet 5 is provided with an earthquake sensing function and thereby made to stop power feeding, in particular when a large earthquake occurs, and to turn on a guide light.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Industrial application field] The present invention detects vibrations such as earthquakes and stops power supply to various electrical products connected from a wall-mounted or stationary power outlet used in ordinary homes. At the same time, it is a power outlet with a vibration sensing function and a guide light that can turn on the guide light and improve safety during evacuation in the event of a late-night earthquake.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, power outlets with a vibration sensing function are classified into a mechanical type and a pneumatic type developed by the Tokyo Fire Department. Since the power outlet does not automatically stop the power supply and is not electric, the guide light cannot be integrated.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By providing an electric sensing function to the power outlet, it is possible to stop the power supply in the event of an earthquake and to turn on the guide light at the same time, thereby ensuring the safety of evacuation during a large earthquake. I can do it. In addition, a rechargeable battery can be built in the power outlet to turn on the guide light in the event of a power failure, further ensuring safety.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] An electromagnetic relay with a vibration sensing function is incorporated in a commonly used power outlet, and an induction lamp is incorporated and integrated into the power outlet, so that the power source and the insertion portion of the supply port are connected. Between them with the input / output terminals of the electromagnetic relay.
Similarly, the evacuation guide light is connected and used as an integrated device.

[0005]

According to the present invention, vibrations during an earthquake are sensed, the power supply to various electrical devices connected to the outlet is stopped, and at the same time, the guide light is turned on.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with an example of a wall embedded type. (B) Make an outlet box that is sized to fit a normal wall-mounted outlet (Fig. 1). (B) In the box of (a), a small bulb for an electromagnetic relay and a guide light and a set (reset) switch are mounted in a pre-designed arrangement (Fig. 2). (C) Wiring the components assembled in (b) according to the circuit design, and fitting the box cover to complete. The present invention is configured as described above and is supplied as an electric appliance. Next, the operation principle will be described with reference to a circuit diagram (FIG. 3). In FIG. 3, A and B are input terminals of the power supply, a
Ｈh are input / output terminals of the vibration sensing relay. Hereinafter, the circuit operation will be described. First, at the time of initial setting, when power is supplied to the AB terminal, e and g are transmitted via the relays RS1 and RS2.
The signal is output to the terminal, and the lamp connected to that terminal lights up. Next, when the set switch (S1) is pressed, the coil of the relay is connected to the power supply, RS1 and RS2 are respectively connected to the f and h sides, the lamp goes out, and the power is supplied to the socket, and at the same time, the f side is connected to the f side. Connected SS1
Power is connected to the coil of the relay via the (sensor)
Even if S1 is released, RS will be activated by the self-holding function of the relay.
1 and RS2 are connected to the f and h terminals, respectively, and the power supply of the socket is maintained. Next, when an earthquake occurs and the sensor works and the contact (SS1) is opened, the power to the relay coil is turned off and the status returns to the initial setting, so the lamp is turned on and the power supply to the socket is stopped. Stop. In addition, even if the earthquake subsides and the sensor returns to the original state, the initial state is maintained unless the set switch is pressed again because RS1 returns to the initial state.

[0007]

According to the present invention, by providing a power outlet with a vibration sensing function, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a short circuit of a power cord or a fire caused by destruction of an electric device, which occurs during a large earthquake. It is made and useful for guiding evacuation in the dark.
