According to the intercom system of the present invention as described above, a plurality of standardized intercom function modules can be provided, and a plurality of intercom function modules can be selectively mounted and used in a module mounting frame. The second connector of each intercom function module mounted on the module mounting frame is engaged with a corresponding one of the first connectors installed on the inner bottom of the plate housing.

(Example)

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The novel intercom system of the present invention standardizes the components of a system that can be modularized and provides a plurality of individual intercom function modules. Each module is optionally mounted in a plate housing to form an overall intercom system.

1 is a perspective view showing that a plurality of modules are configured in series in an intercom system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The intercom system of the present invention includes a plurality of standardized intercom function modules, for example, a lighting module 10, a camera module 11, a speaker microphone module 12, a keypad module 13, and a fingerprint recognition module 14. And a card reader module 15. In addition, those that can be configured as an intercom system may be provided as modules standardized for each function.

As shown in FIG. 1, the intercom system according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a lighting module 10, a camera module 11, and a microphone from the top to the bottom of the front outer frame 22 of the plate housing 20. The speaker module 12, the keypad module 13, the fingerprint recognition module 14, and the card reader module 15 are mounted in a line.

The plate housing 20 of such an intercom system may be embedded in, for example, a wall around the entrance door of each apartment. In addition, a control unit (not shown) is installed inside each arc to be electrically connected to the intercom function modules 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 to control each module. And a locking device (not shown) controlled by the control unit is installed in the entrance door.

The lighting module 10 is installed on the top of the plate housing 20 to illuminate the components of the intercom system. The camera module 11 acquires an image of the surrounding area in which the plate housing 20 is installed, and provides the acquired image to the internal control unit. The microphone speaker module 12 is for communication between the insider and the person. The keypad module 13, the fingerprint recognition module 14, and the card reader module 15 each function as an access control device for accessor authentication. The card reader module may be configured as either an RF contactless or a magnetic contact.

As described above, the plurality of intercom function modules 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 may be standardized so that any part of the plate housing 20 may be selectively mounted. And the area of the plate housing 20 in which the function module is not mounted mounts the cover 16 manufactured to the same standard.

3 is a perspective view illustrating an example in which an intercom function module is coupled to a module mounting frame. Referring to the drawings, the module mounting frame 50 is installed inside the plate housing 20 and provides a plurality of module mounting regions for mounting the intercom function module 40. The module mounting frame 50 has a lock 52 for locking the intercom function module 40 to be mounted and a lock release key 60 for releasing the locked state.

In the module mounting frame 50, a plurality of key grooves 51 into which the unlocking key 60 is inserted are formed in the front part. The module coupling grooves 52 are configured inside the module mounting area, respectively. The key groove 51 is formed at the position where the unlocking key 60 is inserted and coupled between each intercom function module 40 in the module mounting frame 50. Therefore, after each intercom function module 40 is mounted to the module mounting frame 50, the key groove 51 is not easily exposed from the outside. When the intercom function module 40 is to be removed from the module mounting frame 50, the lock release key 50 is inserted between the intercom function modules 40 and then aligned with the key groove 51 so that the corresponding intercom can be installed. The function module 40 is separated.

The intercom function module 40 includes a locking groove 41 coupled to the locking portion 52 on one side, and a protrusion (not shown) inserted into the module coupling groove 53. And the back of the intercom function module 40 is a connector and a connector cable 42 is configured. The plate housing bottom surface 54 includes a plurality of connectors 44 and is connected to the connectors of the corresponding intercom function module 40 to have electrical connections.

The intercom system of the present invention as described above may be configured in two rows in parallel. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an example in which a plurality of modules are coupled to each other in an intercom system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the intercom system according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a lighting module 10, a camera module 11, and a microphone from the top to the bottom of the front outer frame 32 of the plate housing 30. The speaker module 12, the keypad module 13, the fingerprint recognition module 14, and the card reader module 15 are mounted in two rows in parallel.

According to the intercom system of the present invention as described above, unlike the conventional intercom function configuration is provided as a single system, by providing a configuration of the intercom system for each function by selectively providing only the intercom function modules required by the user's requirements Can be configured. For example, the camera module, the microphone speaker module, and the keypad module may be selectively configured. Alternatively, the camera module, the fingerprint module, and the keypad module may be selectively configured. Therefore, it can respond appropriately to various needs of users.

As described above, the configuration and operation of the intercom system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in accordance with the above description and drawings, but this is merely described for example and various within the scope not departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations and modifications are possible.

According to the present invention as described above, the configuration of the intercom system can be standardized and modularized to configure the system by selectively combining the modules according to the user's request. Therefore, it is possible to configure and provide only the intercom function module required by the user's request.
