Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the power-saving multi-tap and the control system according to the present invention.

2 shows a configuration of a power saving multi-tap according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows data input means of the power saving multi-tap according to the present invention.

Power-saving multi-tap according to the present invention, like a conventional multi-tap, the main body portion forming the appearance, a plurality of outlets formed on the upper surface of the main body portion so that the power cords of various electrical and electronic devices can be coupled, extending from one side of the main body portion It is made of a structure that is provided with a plug coupled to the wall outlet.

2, the power-saving multi-tap according to the present invention includes a plurality of power output units 36 and power output units 36 for supplying power input through the plug 30 to each outlet 60. In the memory unit 42 and the memory unit 42 in which the condition data for controlling the ON / OFF or the remote control signal is input, the condition data input through the data input unit 50 is stored. When the stored condition data is satisfied or a remote control signal is input through the data input means 50, the AC input through the control unit 40 and the plug 30 for controlling ON / OFF of each power output unit 36 is performed. Switching the power to DC power, or by controlling the voltage of the DC power input through the plug 30 to supply to the control unit 40, the operating state of the power converter 32, and each power output unit 36 external It is comprised including the display means 46 shown to.

The power output unit 36 receives power through the plug 30 coupled to the wall outlet, and supplies power to the individual outlet 60, and thus the power outlet 60 with the power output unit 36 in the ON state. The electrical and electronic device coupled to) is in an operating state, and the electrical and electronic device coupled to the outlet 60 in which the power output unit 36 is in an OFF state is stopped.

The power output unit 36 is controlled by the control unit 40 in the ON / OFF state according to the condition data input through the data input unit 50 and stored in the memory unit 42. That is, when the controller 40 determines that the condition set by the condition data stored in the memory 42 is satisfied, the controller 40 changes the state of the power output unit 36 from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON. Due to the new power is supplied to the outlet 60 connected to the power output unit 36 changed to ON, the power supply is no longer supplied to the outlet 60 connected to the power output unit 36 changed to OFF. When the controller 40 determines that the condition set by the condition data stored in the memory 42 is not satisfied, the state of the power output unit 36 maintains the current ON / OFF state.

On the other hand, the condition data which is input through the data input means 50 and becomes a reference for controlling ON / OFF of the power output unit 36 may correspond to data for operating or stopping a specific electric and electronic device at a specific time. Can be.

For example, when the user sets the bedtime to 10 o'clock and sets the power to turn off the TV automatically when the bedtime comes, the condition data input through the data input means 50 is' evening 10 o'clock and The power supply to the outlet 60 is connected to the TV is'. In the state in which the condition data is input, the controller 40 changes the power output unit 36 that supplies power to the outlet 60 to which the TV is connected to the OFF state when the current time reaches 10 pm.

Power supply for the In the state in which the condition data is input, when the ambient environment information that the ambient temperature is 25 ° C. or more is received from the sensor for detecting the ambient temperature to the information receiving unit 44 of the multi-tap, the controller 40 is connected to an outlet connected to the air conditioner ( The power output unit 36 for supplying power to the 60 is changed to the ON state.

On the other hand, the remote control signal may be input through the data input means 50, such a remote control signal is a signal for controlling the ON / OFF of each power output unit 36 from the remote in real time. That is, when the remote control signal is input through the data input means 50, the controller 40 may not be satisfied with the condition data stored in the memory 42, in real time according to the remote control signal. Turn 36 on or off.

For example, if you want to turn off the TV even before 10 pm set to bedtime, since the current time is before 10 pm the control unit 40 is a power output unit for supplying power to the outlet 60 connected to the TV ( It will be kept ON without changing 36) to OFF.
