Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an outlet device that is attached to a floor surface or the like.

[Background technology]

As an outlet device used to supply electricity from the floor to electric appliances, there is an outlet device (floor outlet) 1 that is directly mounted on the floor as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, this 6-outlet device 1 has a cover 2 attached to a base 3 with a plug blade insertion hole 2a arranged on the front side, and a cover 2 with a plug blade insertion hole 2a located at the back of the plug blade insertion hole 2a. A blade receiving spring (not shown) is provided, and a connecting plate 4 having a male threaded portion 4a is fixed to the lower surface of the base 3 by screwing. This outlet device 1
is fixed to the floor surface 7 by screwing the male threaded part 4a of the connection plate into the inner thread of the floor plate or the insert stud 6 installed in the floor duct 5 or electric conduit buried in the floor. It has become.

However, when the outlet device is not in use, the hole for inserting the plug blade is exposed, so there is a high risk that spilled water may enter the inside from this hole and wet the blade holder spring, causing a short circuit. , ■ To connect a cap of any shape, as shown in Figure 1, increase the height of the outlet 1 (cover 2) and adjust the height of the plug blade insertion hole 2a. It has to be higher, but
This increases the risk of people tripping over the electrical outlet and falling, and the aesthetic appearance of the floor surface is also impaired.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to connect any type of cap, reduce the risk of short circuits, and reduce the risk of people tripping and falling, and when installed on the floor etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an outlet device that does not impair the aesthetic appearance of floors, etc.

[Disclosure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has an outlet having a hole for inserting a plug blade in the front side and a blade receiving spring inside the hole for inserting the plug blade, and a rotatable socket in the front part. Each body is provided with a lid body, and a recess is provided on the top surface of the body to accommodate the outlet so that the front surface is hidden by the lid body, and the outlet protrudes from the recess to expose the front surface or is inserted into the recess. The outlet device is rotatably fixed to the body so that it can be stored, and when the outlet is protruded, the cover can be rotated and inserted under the outlet to prevent the outlet from descending. It is said that DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 to 4 show one embodiment of the outlet device according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this outlet device 8 includes an outlet 9 and a body (box) 10, respectively. The outlet 9 has two plug blade insertion holes 9a on both sides of the front, one protrusion 9b on the top, and a protrusion 9c on the bottom. A blade holder spring (not shown) is installed inside the plug blade insertion hole 9a. body 10
is a cover 10 that covers above the base 10a and base IQa.
The base 10a is provided with an insertion hole 10C for a floor fixing bolt. The body 10 has a U-shaped cutout at the front of the upper surface of the cover 10b, and a recess 1 for housing the outlet 9.
1 is provided. The outlet 9 is rotatably supported by an arm 12 that is pivoted on the rear inner surface of the cover 10b, and can be rotated to protrude from the recess 11 or to be accommodated within the recess 11. A lid (stopper) 13 is provided at the front of the recess 11 to cover the front surface of the outlet 9 housed in the recess 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 13 is provided with a notch 14 on its upper end surface into which the protrusion 9b of the outlet is fitted, and shafts 15 and 15 are provided on both sides of the lower end.
5 is inserted into a hole (not shown) provided inside the body 8 so as to be rotatable so that it can stand upright or fall down. The helical spring 16 provided on the shaft 15 allows the bullet to be held upright.

Becoming sexually retained. In FIG. 2, 17 is a terminal block used to connect external electric wires.

This outlet device is used as follows. A floor fixing bolt is inserted into the insertion hole 10c of the base to fix the outlet device 8 on the floor. When not in use, the third
As shown in the figure, the outlet 9 is housed in the recess 11, and the front surface of the outlet 9 is covered with the lid 13. When in use, hold the protrusion 9b and lift the outlet 9 as shown in FIG. 5 to expose the front side of the outlet 9. The maximum protrusion amount of the outlet 9 is the arm 12.
(FIG. 2) or an upper limit stopper that locks the outlet 9 itself at a desired height. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the plug blade of the cap 17 is inserted into the plug blade insertion hole 9a of the outlet, the lid body 1
3 tilts inward against the spring 16 (see Figure 4) and slips under the outlet 9. Since the tilting of the lid 13 is stopped by the protrusion 9C provided on the lower surface of the outlet 9, the lid 13 does not tilt any further and prevents the outlet 9 from descending in this state. Therefore, cap 20
When the plug is connected, the receptacle 9 will not come down even if force is applied to lower the receptacle 9, such as by stepping on it with a foot, so there is no risk of damage to the cap or the receptacle. Even if the cap 20 is wide in the height direction when connected, such as the large-diameter round shape shown in the figure, or any other cap shape, the lid body 13 sinks under the outlet 9. Therefore, it is possible to connect without getting stuck. After use, when the cap 20 is removed, the lid body 13 stands up again due to the spring force. Next, when the outlet 9 is lowered, the outlet 9 is housed in the recess 11.

When the outlet device according to the present invention is not in use, the outlet can be stored in the recess of the body and the hole for inserting the plug blade in the front can be covered with the lid, so short circuits may occur due to spilled water, etc. There is little risk of this occurring. Furthermore, when in use, the outlet can be protruded to raise the position of the hole for inserting the plug blade, and since the lid rotates so as not to get in the way, connection is possible regardless of the shape of the cap. Moreover, by storing the outlet in a recess, the height is low, so there is less risk of people tripping and falling, and the aesthetics are not compromised.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the body is provided with a bolt insertion hole, so it can be mounted at any position on the floor surface with bolts, not limited to the insert stud or floor plate like conventional ones. It has excellent usability. However, this does not necessarily have to be the case, and a connection means having a male threaded portion may be provided on the bottom surface as in the conventional case. Further, the outlet device according to the present invention is not limited to being installed on a floor surface, but may be installed on a wall surface or the like.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the outlet device according to the present invention is configured as described above, it can be connected to any type of cap, and there is less risk of short circuits caused by water or the like, and there is less risk of people tripping and falling. The beauty of the floor surface etc. is not impaired.
