In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the specification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a configuration of a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the standby power cut-off receptacle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a standby power cut-off port 10 for receiving commercial AC power from an AC power input unit 22 and supplying power to the electric equipment, A latch relay (18) for continuously maintaining the on or off state by a power supply for a predetermined time so as to selectively shut off the power supplied to the electric device from the standby power cut-off port (10) A voltage sensing unit 14 for measuring a voltage consumed in the electrical equipment connected to the standby power cut-off port 10, a current sensing unit 16 for measuring a current consumed in the electrical equipment connected to the standby power cut-off port 10, And the current sensing unit 16, and operates the latch relay 18 according to the calculated standby power to supply the standby power interruption unit 10 Includes a controller 50 to cut off the power.

The controller 50 may be provided with one or more processors operating according to a set program, and the set program is configured to perform each step of the method for controlling a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The standby power cut-off receptacle further includes a system switch. The system switch includes a normally-energized state in which electric power is continuously supplied to an electric apparatus connected to the stand-by power cut-off port 10 by a user's operation, a standby power state .

The standby power cut-off receptacle may further include a USB communication unit 40 for USB communication. The USB communication unit 40 can receive a computer detection signal indicating the on / off state of the computer from a USB transmission unit provided in the computer connected to the standby power cut-off port 10. If the computer detection signal is not received, the controller 50 turns off the latch relay 18.

That is, the USB communication unit 40 provided in the standby power cut-off receptacle continuously receives a computer detection signal when the computer is powered on from the USB transmitting unit provided in the computer. Therefore, the controller 50 keeps the latch relay 18 in the ON state.

Particularly, even when the computer is in the sleep mode (a mode in which the computer operates for power saving when there is no input for a predetermined period of time), a constant voltage (5 V) is applied to the USB transmission unit, To the USB communication unit (40).

In the case of a recently developed computer, since the standby power when the computer is turned off is almost similar to the power consumed when the computer is in the sleep mode, the power consumed in the sleep mode is misinterpreted as standby power, Thereby solving the problem of cutting off the power.

When the power of the computer is in the off state, since the computer detection signal is not transmitted from the USB transmitting unit provided in the computer, the control unit 50 turns off the latch relay 18 to cut off standby power.

The latch relay 18 may be a latch relay 18 which is turned on when power is supplied to the coil for a predetermined time by the controller 50 and is turned off when power is supplied to the coil in a reverse direction for a predetermined time.

Alternatively, the latch relay 18 is provided with a switch between two coils, and is turned on when power is supplied to one of the coils for a predetermined time. When the power is supplied to the other coils, ).

When the power supplied to the electric device from the standby power cut-off port 10 is cut off, the latch relay 18 supplies or blocks electric power when the power is supplied for a predetermined time (for example, about 20 to 50 ms) It is possible to minimize the power consumed in the standby power cut-off receptacle according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The standby power cut-off receptacle may further include an infrared ray receiver 32 for receiving an infrared ray signal. The infrared receiver 32 is for controlling the standby power cut-off receptacle by using an external control device such as a wireless remote controller. And may include respective timers for measuring the standby power time, the overload time, the input time of the switch, and the infrared signal reception time. These timers measure the time of the standby power, measure the overload time, measure whether the input time of the switch is short, intermediate key input, long key input, measure the infrared signal reception time, Signal to control the standby power disconnecting receptacle.

When the infrared signal is inputted through the infrared receiver 32, the controller 50 turns on the latch relay 18 and can detect the standby power of the electric device connected to the standby power cut-off port 10. [

Meanwhile, the standby power disconnecting receptacle may further include a wireless communication unit 20 for remote control. The wireless communication unit 20 is used to control the standby power shut-off receptacle through a remote control or a home network. The wireless communication unit 20 may be a communication module according to the RS485 standard.

When the communication signal is input from the wireless communication unit 20, the control unit 50 turns on / off the latch relay 18 according to an input communication signal.

The standby power cut-off receptacle may further include a voice output unit 30. The control unit 50 may output an overload warning sound through the audio output unit 30 when an overload is detected from the electrical equipment connected to the standby power cut-off port 10. [

2 is a circuit diagram for measuring load current and voltage of a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the current sensing unit 16 is connected in series with a shunt resistor 17 to the power terminal of an electric device (load) connected to the stand-by power cut-off port 10, The voltage across resistor 17 is measured. And dividing the measured voltage by the resistance value of the shunt resistor 17, the current applied to the electric device can be measured.

At this time, since the voltage measured by the shunt resistor 17 is very small, an amplifier (not shown) for amplifying the measured voltage may be further provided. The amplifier may be an op-amp.

The voltage sensing unit 14 measures a voltage consumed at a power supply terminal of the electric apparatus connected to the standby power cut-off port 10.

Meanwhile, the standby power cut-off receptacle may further include a switch unit 34. The switch unit 34 is for controlling the standby power cut-off receptacle by a user's operation and is divided into a short key input, an intermediate key input, or a long key input according to the input time of the switch unit 34 . A short key input processing step according to a short key input, an intermediate key input processing step according to an intermediate key input, or a long key input processing step according to a long key input is performed. For example, a short key input can turn on and off the latch relay, an infrared learning mode in case of an intermediate key input, and a long key input to perform a reset of the standby power cut-off receptacle.

Meanwhile, the standby power cut-off receptacle may further include an AC / DC converter 12. Since each component of the standby power cut-off receptacle including the control unit is driven by the DC power source, the AC / DC converter 12 converts the commercial AC power into the DC power, Element.

A standby power learning method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be conceptually described.

10 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a standby power learning process of a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10 (a), it is assumed that the usage load of the electric apparatus connected to the standby power cut-off receptacle according to the embodiment of the present invention is 150W and the standby power is 5W. At this time, since the electric device before the first use is a standby power state, 150W is measured when the user turns on the power while the current power (NoW) is being measured at 5W. The 5W measured before is already stored in the standby power value (preW). At this time, the current power (NoW) 150W is larger than the standby power value (preW) 5W, and the constant value (the error correction variable according to the power situation of the application site is 3 as the basic value, (PreW) 5W is stored in the standby power learning value LpreW because the measured current power NoW is larger than the standby power value preW even if the current power NoW is a multiple of the standby power value preW. Since the current power (NoW) continues to be measured at 150 W, the current state is maintained. When the electric power of the electric apparatus is turned off, the current power NoW is measured to be 5 W, which is close to the standby power learning value LpreW, If the current power (NoW) remains in the state after the preset standby power allowable time, the latch relay is turned off to interrupt the standby power.

As shown in FIG. 10 (b), if the usage load of the electric appliance connected to the standby power cut-off receptacle is changed or added (at this time, the used load of the changed electric appliance is 320 W and the standby standby power is 12 W ), Since the device before the first use will be the standby power, the current power (NoW) 12W is being measured, and when the power is turned on, 320W is measured. 12W previously measured is already stored in the standby power value (preW). At this time, the present power (NoW) 320W is larger than the standby power value (preW) 12W and the measured value is larger than a multiple of the constant value The standby power value preW 12W is stored in the standby power learning value LpreW. The current power (NoW) will be measured as 12W, which is close to the standby power learning value (LpreW), and the standby power If the current power (NoW) is maintained even after the power allowable time, the latch relay is turned off to cut off the standby power.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 to 9 are flowcharts illustrating a method of controlling a standby power cut-off receptacle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the controller 50 measures the voltage level V of the commercial AC power (S10).

The controller 50 determines whether an AC voltage is input (S20). If the AC voltage is not inputted, various setting values of the standby power shutdown socket system are stored (S30) and the latch relay 18 is turned on (S40).

Here, when the AC voltage is inputted, it means that the user uses the standby power cut-off receptacle as the standby power sensing state. If an AC voltage is not input, this means that the user uses the standby power cut-off receptacle as a normally energized state.

The continuous energization refers to a state in which electric power is continuously supplied to the electric apparatus without sensing the standby power of the electric apparatus connected to the stand-by power cut-off receptacle, for example, when the household electric appliance such as a refrigerator is connected .

The system of the standby power cut-off receptacle includes various components (for example, a control unit, a voltage sensing unit, a current sensing unit, etc.) for measuring standby power of an electric device connected to the standby power cut- Means a system which is constituted.

Therefore, if the AC voltage is not input, power is not supplied to the system of the standby power cut-off receptacle, and the latch relay 18 is turned on to continuously supply electric power to the electric apparatus. Conversely, when an AC voltage is input, the system of the standby power disconnecting receptacle is powered to sense standby power.

Here, the switching between the normal energization or the standby power sensing is achieved by operating the system switch.

In this way, when the standby power cut-off receptacle is used in the normally-energized state according to the user's selection, the power supplied to the system of the standby power cut-off receptacle, such as a general outlet, is cut off to prevent power consumption at the standby power cut- .

If the AC voltage is inputted, it is determined whether a communication signal is input through the wireless communication unit 20 (S50). If a communication signal is input through the wireless communication unit 20, the process proceeds to a communication signal processing step S800.

If a communication signal is not inputted through the wireless communication unit 20, it is determined whether a switch input through the switch unit 34 or an infrared signal through the infrared receiver 32 is received (S60).

If a switch input through the switch unit 34 or an infrared signal through the infrared receiver 32 is received, the process proceeds to an input signal processing step S500.

If a switch input through the switch unit 34 or an infrared signal through the infrared receiver 32 is not received, it is determined whether or not the latch relay 18 is turned on (S70), and the latch relay 18 is turned on, the process moves to the standby power detection step S400.

If the latch relay 18 is off, the process moves to step S1.

Next, the input signal processing step (S500) will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the input signal processing step determines whether a switch input is input through the switch unit (S510). A step of turning on / off the latch relay 18 by a user's operation by a switch input through the switch unit 34 or a step of turning on / off the latch relay 18 according to the reception of a user's infrared signal through the infrared receiver 32 ) Is turned on / off.

When the switch input is inputted through the switch unit 34, it is determined whether the short key input (when the user presses the switch unit 34 for a short time) (S512) The process proceeds to step S300. The short key processing step is a step of turning on and off the latch relay. If the switch input through the switch unit 34 is the intermediate key input (S514), the process proceeds to the intermediate key input processing step (S600). In the intermediate key input processing step, the infrared learning mode is executed. When the switch is inputted with the intermediate key, the infrared learning mode is performed and the input infrared ray signal is learned. Then, the infrared ray signal received through the infrared ray receiving unit and the already- If the signals are compared and the same, the infrared signal processing step can be performed.

If it is determined in step S510 that the switch input is not inputted through the switch unit 34, it is determined whether the infrared signal is input through the infrared receiver 32 in step S520. (S522). If the learning of the infrared signal has not been performed, the process moves to step S1.

If learning of the infrared signal has been performed, it is determined whether the received infrared signal is the same as the learned value (S524). If the received infrared signal is different from the learned value, If the received infrared signal and the previously learned learned value are identical to each other, the process moves to the infrared signal processing step S200.

Next, the infrared signal processing step (S200) and the short key processing step (S300) will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The processing method of the infrared signal processing step (S200) will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, if the infrared signal received in step S524 is the same as the previously learned learned value, it is determined whether the latch relay 18 is turned on (S210), and the latch relay 18 are turned on, the process moves to step S1. If the latch relay 18 is in an off state, the latch relay 18 is turned on (S212), and the routine moves to the standby power detecting step S400. That is, in the infrared signal processing step S200, when the infrared signal is input through the infrared ray receiver 32, the latch relay 18 is turned on and the standby power is detected.

If it is determined in step S512 that the switch input through the switch unit 34 is a short key input, it is determined whether the latch relay 18 is in an on state (S310). If it is determined that the latch relay 18 is in the on state , The process moves to step S1. If the latch relay 18 is in an off state, the latch relay 18 is turned on (S312), and the process moves to the standby power detecting step S400. That is, when a short key input is made through the switch unit 34, the latch relay 18 is turned on and the standby power is detected.

Next, the intermediate key input processing step (S600) will be described.

6, if the switch input through the switch unit 34 is an intermediate key input in step S514, a timer (not shown) provided in the control unit 50 is initialized (step S610) , It is determined whether an infrared signal is received through the infrared receiver 32 (S612). If the infrared signal is received, the process of learning the infrared signal is performed, and the process moves to step S1. If the infrared signal has not been received through the infrared receiver 32, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed through the timer (S620), and the flow advances to step S1. That is, when the intermediate key is input through the switch unit 34, a learning process according to the reception of the infrared signal is performed.

The learning process according to the infrared signal reception becomes an infrared signal learning state when the intermediate key input is sensed. At this time, the controller 50 learns any infrared signal received before a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds).

Next, the standby power detection step (S400) will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

7, it is determined whether or not the learning of the standby power has been performed (S410). If the learning of the standby power has been performed, a step of checking the overload of the standby power shutoff tool 10 (S100 ).

If there is no standby power learning value, the standby power detection step is started (S412).

First, the controller 50 measures the current power (NoW) of the electric device connected to the standby power cut-off port 10 (S414).

If there is the standby power value preW, the current power NoW is compared with the standby power value preW in step S418.

If the current power NoW exceeds the standby power value preW, the standby power value preW is compared with the current power NoW by multiplying the standby power value preW by a predetermined value (for example, '5') S420). The predetermined value is a power fluctuation error value obtained by measuring a voltage fluctuation value at an arbitrary value and calculating a power fluctuation value therefrom. Even when the same load is applied to the AC line, the voltage changes and there is a power change. Therefore, it is configured to determine again as a value obtained by multiplying the standby power value preW by a predetermined value corresponding to the power fluctuation error value, thereby automatically preventing the learning error due to the power fluctuation due to the error value to be automatically learned as the standby power learning value . For example, the initial default value can be set to '3'.

If the current power NoW exceeds the value obtained by multiplying the standby power value preW by a constant value, the standby power value preW is stored as the standby power learning value LpreW and the standby power learning is terminated (S424) When the standby power learning value LpreW is stored, the flow goes to step S100 of checking overload of the standby power shutoff tool 10.

If the standby power value preW does not exist in step S416, the current power NoW is stored as the standby power value preW in step S430.

If the standby power learning value LperW has not been stored in step S422, the basic setting value is stored in the standby power learning value LpreW (S440).

In step S418, if the current power is equal to or lower than the standby power value, it is determined whether the standby power allowable time has been exceeded (S450).

If the standby power allowable time is exceeded, it is determined whether a computer detection signal is input through the USB communication unit 40 (S452). If the computer detection signal is not input, the standby power detection step is terminated (S454), the latch relay 18 is turned off (S456), and the process moves to step S1.

If the computer detection signal has been input in step S452, the process proceeds to step S1.

Next, the step S100 of checking the overload of the stand-by power cut-off port 10 will be described in detail with reference to Fig.

As shown in FIG. 8, the current (i) level (S110) of the commercial AC power source and the power factor of the standby power interrupter 10 are measured (S114). The current power (NoW) is calculated from these measured values. In other words, the power factor refers to the ratio of the effective power to the apparent power, and refers to the ratio of the power actually working to the total input power. In a dc circuit, the product of the voltage and the current is the power, but in the ac circuit, the product of the current and the effective value of the voltage is not necessarily the power. In the AC circuit, the product of the voltage and the current is called the apparent power and is multiplied by the power factor. This is because the voltage or current of the alternating-current circuit fluctuates in the form of a sinusoidal wave (sinusoidal wave), so that the sinusoidal phase of the alternating-current circuit does not always coincide with each other. When the difference in phase angle is denoted by?, The voltage is V, and the current is I, the effective power is VI cos ?. Since the apparent power is VI, the effective power divided by the apparent power VI cos φ / VI = cos φ is the power factor, usually expressed as a percentage (%). If φ = 0, cos φ = 1 and the power becomes maximum. That is, the power factor is 1 (100%) and the lowest is 0 (0%).

The standby power learning value LpreW is compared with the current power NoW in step S116. If the standby power learning value LpreW exceeds the current power NoW, it is determined whether or not the standby power allowable time has been exceeded S120).

If the computer detection signal is not detected, the latch relay 18 is turned off (S126). If it is determined that the computer detection signal is not detected, , The process moves to step S1.

If the standby power learning value LpreW is less than or equal to the current power NoW, it is determined whether the current power is greater than a preset overload power. If the current power is equal to or less than the overload power, the process moves to step S1.

If the current power exceeds the overload power, it is determined whether the overload time has been exceeded (S910). If the overload time exceeds the overload time, it is determined that the overload is detected (S912) An overload warning sound is output in step S914 and the latch relay 18 is turned off in step S126 to block the supply of the commercial AC power to the electronic apparatus and to move to step S1.

However, if it is determined in step S11 that the overload time is not exceeded, it is determined that the overload is temporarily input, and the process proceeds to step S1.

Next, the communication signal processing step S800 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 9, the communication signal processing step S800 determines whether or not status request data of the standby power cut-off receptacle has been received (S810). The reception of the status request data means that when the remote control of the standby power cut-off receptacle is performed via the wireless communication unit, the status information of the standby power cut-off receptacle at the remote controller such as the home network to determine the status of the standby power cut- Lt; / RTI >

Upon receiving the status request data, the status of the standby power cut-off receptacle is transmitted (S812), and it is checked whether the latch relay is turned on (S814). If the latch relay is turned on, And if the latch relay is off, the process moves to step S1.

If the status request data is not received in step S810, it is determined whether the latch relay control data is received through the wireless communication unit (step S820). It is determined whether the latch relay control data is data for turning on the latch relay in step S822. If it is the latch relay on data, the latch relay is turned on in step S824 and the standby power detection step S400 is performed.

If it is not the latch relay on data (that is, the latch relay off data) in step S822, the latch relay is turned off (S826), and the process moves to step S1.

As described above, according to the control method of the standby power cut-off receptacle according to the embodiment of the present invention, by comparing the current power and the standby power learning value of the electric device connected to the standby power cut- , It is possible to accurately measure the electric power consumed in the electric device. Therefore, even if the electric appliance connected to the standby power cut-off device 10 is changed, there is no need to separately set standby power, thereby maximizing the convenience and safety of the user.

In addition, the on / off state of the power of the computer can be grasped through the USB communication unit 40. That is, even when the computer is switched to the sleep mode, since the computer is powered on, the computer receives the computer detection signal continuously from the computer through the USB communication unit 40, Do not. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problem caused by unexpected computer interruption of standby power.

In addition, it can improve the competitiveness of the product by using the shunt resistor circuit so that the circuit for detecting the standby power can be potatoed in the optimal state, and the standby power and the maximum rating of the receptacle to be used are smoothly Can be detected.

In addition, even if the electric device is changed during use, it is not necessary to separately set the standby power, and it is blocked by the purge function, thereby maximizing the convenience and safety of the user.

In addition, when used above the maximum rating, the product can be protected against fire and safety through the overload shutoff function.

In addition, by configuring the normal energization mode and the standby power cut-off mode, it is possible to maximize the usability of the user and to prevent the electric safety accident by the contact of the normal changeover switch for the maximum rated use of the outlet for constant energization , A protection circuit is constructed, and unnecessary power consumption is zeroed by using a latch relay, thereby realizing energy saving.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, And it goes without saying that the invention belongs to the scope of the invention.
