The present invention relates to an indoor wiring connection method and a wiring apparatus which can easily change a wiring circuit during a wiring operation of indoor wiring.

Since indoor wiring work requires time and labor economically, it requires a technology that can reduce the work time and can make a wiring connection with high reliability. In order to satisfy this demand, for example, Japanese Utility Model Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 57-43570 discloses a wiring connecting member. 6 shows a conventional wiring connecting member 1 of this type. The wiring connecting member 1 includes a joint cap 3 and an isolation member 9 made of synthetic resin, and the isolation member 9 has a plurality of wiring compartments 7 formed as radial separation walls. In this wiring compartment 7, the exposure conductor 13 for connection is arrange | positioned, synthetic resin is inject | poured, and the wiring 11 is fixed to the wiring compartment 7.

The wiring connecting member 1 is manufactured by connecting an electric wiring circuit required in advance at the factory. Therefore, in the wiring operation of the indoor wiring, the wiring connecting member is fixed to the beam or the like and the wiring 11 is connected to the electrical load. That is, the wiring work of indoor wiring can be made easy. In addition, since the wiring is connected at the factory, the connection can be preferably performed. As a result, the wiring work for the indoor wiring is performed with high reliability.

On the other hand, the wiring connecting device (or power distribution box) obtained by forming the wiring connecting member as a whole unit is used to economically save time and labor and to reduce the time required for wiring work in the indoor wiring place. This type of power distribution box is formed by adding a branching means and an on-off means to the distribution panel, and this technique is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-289708. Conventional power distribution boxes are disclosed in FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing wiring connections of a conventional power distribution box, and FIG. 8 is a wiring diagram showing an example of indoor wiring connections obtained by a conventional wiring distribution box.

The current is supplied to the power distribution box (or switchboard) 21 having the branch circuit through the lead line 23 and the power meter 25. The power distribution box 21 includes a distribution section 33, which is an introduction switch 27 connected to the power meter 25 and a branch line 29 extending from the introduction switch 27. It has a circuit breaker 31 connected to it. The distribution section 33 is connected to the branch means 35, the on-off mechanism (switch) 37, and the external connection terminal 39. That is, the breaker 31 is connected to the branch means 35, respectively. Each branch means 35 has a plurality of branch circuits 41, which are connected to an external connection terminal 39 via an on-off mechanism such as a tubular switch.

As shown in FIG. 8, the wiring work of the indoor wiring is performed through the power distribution box 21. That is, the electric cord with the end exposed is connected to the electric appliance 43. After the wiring of the indoor wiring is completed, the cord end is connected to each electric apparatus. The electrical wirings 45, 45, and 45 extend to the power distribution box 21 and are connected to the external connection terminal 39, whereby wiring work is performed. In this case, by operating the on-off mechanism 37 of the power distribution box 21, all the electrical appliances can be collectively turned on and off in one place.

In carrying out the wiring work of the indoor wiring together with the power distribution box 21, the electric cord installed in the electric appliance is connected to the position where the power distribution box 21 is located. Therefore, the solution of calculating the load capacity of the branch circuit terminal at each wiring stage and aligning the joint box with the branch wiring is unnecessary. That is, even a person who is not skilled can perform wiring wiring work. In addition, the wiring according to the load capacity of the electrical circuit terminal can be freely obtained by appropriately changing the wiring connection to the external connection terminal 39 of the power distribution box 21.

However, the wiring connecting member 1 shown in FIG. 6 has the following problems. That is, it is necessary to form another wiring connection member 1 with respect to the other wiring circuit. In other words, it is impossible to standardize the wiring connecting member in manufacturing, and thus it is impossible to manufacture the wiring connecting member on a large scale. It is also impossible to manufacture and maintain the wiring connecting member in advance. When the design state is changed, that is, when the wiring circuit is changed, the wiring 11 is sealed by the synthetic resin injected into the joint cap 3, so the wiring connecting member 1 must be dismantled.

On the other hand, the power distribution box 21 shown in FIG. 7 is advantageous in that mass production is possible and the wiring connection to the external connection terminal 39 can be easily changed in accordance with the new wiring circuit even if the wiring circuit is changed. Do. However, such a power distribution box 21 also has the following problems. In other words, the circuits must be changed by manually disconnecting and reconnecting the wirings 45, 45, and 45 from the external connection terminal 39.

This is a very difficult task. Especially in the case of a showroom or an office where the wiring circuit should be changed frequently and quickly, a wiring connection device capable of easily changing the wiring circuit is required.

On the basis of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an indoor wiring connection method and a wiring apparatus which can be easily adapted to mass production and can easily change a wiring circuit after a wiring connection is made.

In order to achieve the above object, the wiring connection method according to the present invention uses a plurality of cables to connect one end of each cable to the distribution unit and the other end to a load or to a switch for supplying current to the load. By connecting a switch and a load corresponding to the switch, the relay unit is connected to each of the cables, the wiring pattern of the load is set in advance with respect to the switch, one of the switches is operated, and the switch is connected to the switch. Detecting the operation of the switch by the relay unit, and selectively driving the relay unit based on the detection result of the relay unit and the wiring pattern to form a closed circuit to supply current to the load.

In addition, the indoor wiring connection device according to the present invention is connected to the distribution unit, a plurality of cables, one end of which is connected to the distribution unit, the other end is connected to the load or switch, and each of the cables, A relay unit connected to the switch via the cable to detect an on-off operation of the switch, a data unit for storing a wiring pattern of a load in advance with respect to the switch, a detection result of the relay unit and the wiring pattern And a control unit for selectively driving the relay unit.

In the indoor wiring connection method of this invention, the switch or load connected to a cable is predetermined, and the wiring pattern which shows the operation relationship between switch loads is previously stored. The operating state of either switch is detected by the relay section connected to the switch. Thus, the detection result is compared with the pre-stored wiring pattern to selectively drive the relay unit of the cable corresponding to the switch to supply current to the load and to drive the load connected to the desired cable. Even if the load changes after the indoor wiring connection, there is no need to reconnect the cables. That is, the load to be driven can be changed by changing only the wiring pattern data.

With the indoor wiring connection device of the present invention, the wiring pattern of the load for the switch is stored in advance in the data portion. The control unit compares the detection signal indicative of the on-off operation of either switch with the above-described wiring pattern, and selectively relays the relay section of the cable corresponding to the switch. Therefore, it is possible to form a desired circuit pattern by simply changing only the wiring pattern of the data portion in the same wiring diagram.

Next, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the wiring method of indoor wiring and the wiring apparatus of indoor wiring (hereinafter, referred to as "wiring wiring method" and "wiring wiring apparatus") will be described.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a wiring connection device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the relay unit of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wiring connection apparatus 51 has a distribution part 53, and the wiring extended from the power plate 55 is connected to this distribution part 53. As shown in FIG. The distribution unit 53 is connected to a plurality of branch cables 57, and an on-off mechanism (switch) or a load is connected to the branch cable 57. Each cable 57 consists of two wirings, and these wirings are connected to the non-grounding line 59a and the grounding line 59b of the distribution section 53.

Wiring of the cable 57 connected to the ground line 59b is connected to the relay unit 61, respectively. Each relay section 61 includes a contact section 63 and a detection section 65 connected in parallel to the contact section 63, as shown in FIG. The contact means functions as a contact point called a "relay" to open and close the circuit according to the input signal. The contact means 63 may use an electromagnetic relay or a contactless relay such as a semiconductor relay. The detection part 65 connected in parallel with the contact means 63 detects a change in the voltage across the contact means 963. When it is necessary to detect a change in the current flowing through the contact means 63, the detection part 65 is connected in series with the contact means 63.

On the other hand, the distribution unit 53 is connected to the control unit 69 through the power supply unit 67, and the control unit 69 is connected to the signal line 71 derived from the detection unit 65 which becomes a part of the relay unit 61. do. The control section 69 is also connected to the contact means 63 forming the relay section 61 via the control line 73.

The control unit 69 is also connected to the data unit 75. The data unit 75 designates control data (or wiring pattern), and the control unit 69 controls the contact means 63 on and off in accordance with the detection signal of the detection unit 65 through the control data. The detection signal is supplied through the signal line 71. That is, the detection signal from the detection unit 65 and the control data stored in the data unit 7 serve to control the contact means 63 required by the control unit 69 to form the desired wiring pattern for each cable 57. .

Assuming that the switch 77 is connected to the first cable 57a, the detection unit 65 supplies the detection signal to the control unit 69 when the switch 77 is closed. The control unit 69 supplies the contact means driving signal to the contact means 63 of the relay unit 61 using the detection signal and the wiring pattern set in advance in the data unit 75. As a result, the control section 69 closes the contact means 63 of the corresponding cable, for example, the second cable 57b, and the current is supplied to the load 79 in contact with the second cable 57b.

The control unit 69 is composed of, for example, a programmable controller or a microcontroller (one chip microcomputer).

The wiring connection device 51 may be configured as follows. That is, the cable 57 connected to the relay unit 61 may be arranged in one device. Alternatively, the data unit 75, the control unit 69 and the distribution unit 53 may be configured as a single unit, and the cable 57 connected to the relay unit 61 may also be configured as another single unit. In the former case (when the cables 57 are arranged together in one device), the wiring connection device 51 can be installed at one time. That is, a quick installation is possible. In the latter case (when the cable 57 is composed of a separate unit), the wiring connection device can be made as small as possible, so that installation is easy.

3 is a wiring diagram showing an indoor wiring connection method using the wiring connection apparatus according to the present invention.

Indoor wiring wiring using the wiring wiring apparatus 51 is performed as follows. That is, the cable 57 is connected to the electric appliance 81 to be connected in series. After the completion of the indoor arrangement work, the cable 57 is connected to the electric appliance 81.

When the wiring connection device 51 is newly installed, an electric appliance to be connected to the cable 57 is determined in advance, and data suitable for this purpose is stored in the data unit 75. For example, in connecting the cable 57a and the cable 57b, it is decided to connect the first cable 57a to the switch 77 and to connect the second cable 57b to the ceiling lamp 81a. On the other hand, the data portion 75 stores data representing the wiring pattern, which is connected to the connecting means 63 in response to a detection signal from the detection portion 65 which constitutes a relay portion connected to the first cable 57a. The relay part connected to the second cable 57b is opened and closed. Thus, when the switch 77 is closed, the ceiling lamp 81a connected to the second cable 57b is turned on.

After the indoor wiring connection work is completed, the wiring connection device 51 can easily cope with a load change situation without reconnecting the cable 57. That is, the variation of the load can be obtained by simply changing in the data unit 75. More specifically, in the above-described embodiment, the wall lamp 81b is turned on and off in response to the signal from the switch 77 as follows. That is, by changing the wiring pattern data of the data portion 75, the third cable 57c connected to the wall lamp 81b in response to the output signal from the detection portion forming the relay portion connected to the first cable 57a. The connecting means for forming the connected relay part is opened and closed.

According to the wiring connection method using the wiring connection device as described above, the circuit pattern can be freely changed by simply changing the data stored in the data unit 75. This feature makes it possible to standardize the structure of the wiring connection device. As a result, mass production of the wiring connection device becomes possible, which enables preliminary manufacturing and maintenance.

Further, as described above, after the indoor wiring connection operation is performed, the data pattern 75 can be easily changed to easily change the circuit pattern. Therefore, when the layout needs to be changed, for example, in an office or the like, the circuit pattern can be easily and quickly changed in accordance with the new layout.

If a problem occurs due to incorrect wiring, it is practically unnecessary to check the wiring connections. That is, since the incorrect connection state of the wiring can be detected through the inspection of the data unit 75, the incorrect connection state of the wiring can be corrected quickly and easily.

If one of the cables 57 breaks or leaks, it is necessary to interrupt the wiring. However, the wiring connection device 51 can simply stop the use of the defective cable 57. In addition, an expensive three-way or four-way switch circuit can be easily achieved by changing the data stored in the data portion 75. Next, another example of the wiring connection apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the wiring connection device 91 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the wiring connection device 91 includes the fact that the control section 69 includes the timer section 93. Except for the configuration of the first embodiment.

The wiring connection device 91 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 illustrates a timer function of the wiring connection device 91 according to the second embodiment. For example, when the switch 77 connected to the first cable 57a is closed, the detection signal of the detection unit 65 that forms the relay unit connected to the switch 77 is output. In response to the detection signal from the detection unit 65, the contact means 63 for forming the relay unit connected to the second cable 57b is closed so that the load 95 (for example, current connected to the second cable 57b) is closed. For example, electric fan). In this state, the timer 93 of the control section 69 operates (ie, time counting operation) for a predetermined period. After the time counting operation of the timer unit 93 is finished, the control unit 63 outputs a control signal to open the contact means 63 forming a relay unit connected to the second cable 57b to open the electric ventilation fan 95. To stop.

In the second embodiment, the control section 69 includes a timer section 93. This eliminates the complexity of having each switch have a timer. Therefore, the wiring connection device reduces the manufacturing cost by that amount.

In the case of the wiring connection device (second embodiment), the driving time of the multiple loads can be controlled. In other words, the timer 93 is operated in accordance with the detection signal from the detection unit 65 of the relay unit connected to the first cable 57a, and the moment when the current is supplied to the load connected as desired among the cables 57 is changed. It is set continuously. In this case, the data unit 75 determines a plurality of cables 57 whose contact means are closed in response to the detection signal from the detection unit 65 and the time interval thereof.

In this way, when the wiring device 91 is set, for example, current may be supplied to a plurality of electric appliances having a large initial load at a time interval. This feature prevents the overcurrent flow, which initially causes intensive peak power consumption of electrical appliances.

In the indoor wiring connection method according to the present invention, the wiring pattern of the switch and the load corresponding to the switch is stored as data in advance, and the relay unit of the cable corresponding to the switch according to the operation (opening and closing) detection signal of any one switch. A closed circuit is formed which is selectively driven to supply current to the load. Therefore, even after the indoor wiring connection operation, the circuit pattern can be freely changed by changing only the data of the data portion. As a result, when it is necessary to change the layout in an office or the like, the wiring circuit can be changed quickly and easily.

The indoor wiring connection device according to the present invention includes a data section for storing a switch and a wiring pattern indicating a load corresponding to the switch in advance, and a relay of a cable corresponding to the switch by detecting an operation (opening and closing) of one switch. And a control unit for selectively driving the unit. Therefore, the circuit pattern can be freely changed by simply changing the data of the data portion. Therefore, the wiring connection device can be standardized, and mass production is possible, and it is also possible to manufacture and store it in advance.
