FIGS. 1 to 10 are schematic diagrams described in the following embodiments and the like. The ratio of the size or thickness of each component in FIGS. 1 to 10 does not necessarily reflect the actual dimensional ratio.

(1) Overview

The suspension socket system 100 of this embodiment is used, for example, by being installed in a wiring duct 80 which is fixed to the ceiling of a room of a building or a roof installed outside the building. The building using the suspended socket system 100 may be, for example, a non-residential house such as a factory, a school, a shop, a hospital, an office, etc., or a single house or community house.

The suspended socket system 100 is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and includes: a socket 1 with a cable, which is installed in a wiring duct 80; and a holding body 9 for holding the socket 1 with a cable.

The socket 1 with a cable is a socket body 2 provided with a plug (connection object) to which an electrical device 301 is connected. That is, the socket 1 with a cable of the present embodiment has the function of an outlet for supplying power to the electrical equipment 301 connected to the socket body 2. Here, the socket body 2 is for AC 100V with a ground terminal. In addition, the socket body 2 is a dual-port socket that can simultaneously connect two plugs (a socket having two connection ports 20 for connecting plugs to be connected). The electrical equipment 301 connected to the socket body 2 is not particularly limited, for example, it may be a portable electrical equipment 301 such as a portable computer (refer to FIG. 4), or an electric tool installed in a building , Household electrical appliances, laboratory appliances and other hard-to-carry electrical equipment 301.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the socket 1 with a cable further includes a mounting part 3 and a cable (wire and covering part; cable part) 4. The mounting part 3 is mounted on the wiring duct 80 and electrically connected to the conductor 81 of the wiring duct 80. The cable 4 has a first end 41 and a second end 42. The first end 41 is connected to the mounting portion 3, and the second end 42 is connected to the socket body 2. The cable 4 has a wire inside, and the socket body 2 and the mounting portion 3 are electrically connected via the wire of the cable 4. Thereby, power is supplied to the socket body 2 from the system power supply (commercial power supply) or the like connected to the conductor 81 of the wiring duct 80. That is, the cable 4 serves as a power supply path from the mounting portion 3 to the socket body 2.

The socket 1 with a cable of this embodiment can be transferred between a first posture and a second posture. The first posture suspends the socket body 2 from the mounting portion 3 (via the cable 4) along the first direction D1. The second posture cable 4 is along the second direction D2 crossing the first direction D1. The first posture is a posture of suspending the socket body 2 from the mounting portion 3 by the weight of the cable 4 and the socket body 2 (see FIG. 1 ). The second posture is, for example, that the longitudinal direction of the cable 4 is along the horizontal direction, and the height of the socket body 2 is substantially the same posture as the mounting portion 3 of the wiring duct 80 (see FIG. 2 ). The holding body 9 can hold the socket 1 with a cable in a portion other than the mounting portion 3 (here, the cable 4) to maintain the socket 1 with a cable in the first posture.

In this type of suspended socket system 100, when the socket body 2 is used (when the plug of the electrical device 301 is connected to the connection port 20 of the socket body 2), the user can set the socket 1 with the cable to the first The posture can be set in a state where the socket body 2 is suspended from the mounting portion 3. As a result, the socket body 2 can be positioned near the use surface 300 of the electrical device 301 (see FIG. 4 ).

In addition, when the socket body 2 is not used (when the plug is not connected to the connection port 20), the user can maintain the socket 1 with the cable in the second posture by the holding body 9. Thereby, when the socket body 2 is not used, the socket body 2 can be maintained at the same height as the mounting portion 3, and the socket body 2 can be removed from the space occupied by the socket body 2 during use. Therefore, when not in use, the pendant socket system 100 is less likely to be a factor limiting the range of movement of a person (see FIG. 5).

In addition, in FIG. 1 and the like, an example in which only one socket 1 with a cable is installed in the wiring duct 80 is shown. However, two or more sockets 1 with a cable may be installed in the wiring duct 80.

(2) Details

The suspension socket system 100 of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The suspension socket system 100 of the present embodiment is as described above and includes: a socket 1 with a cable suspended from the wiring duct 80 and being supplied with power from the wiring duct 80; and a holding body 9 for holding Socket 1 with cable.

In the following description, the direction perpendicular (orthogonal) to the horizontal plane in the state where the socket 1 with a cable is suspended from the wiring duct 80 is regarded as "up and down direction", and the lower (vertical direction) is regarded as "down" To illustrate. However, the main purpose of these directions is not to limit the use form of the suspended socket system 100. That is, the first direction D1 is consistent with the vertical direction in the present embodiment, but it may not be completely consistent with the vertical direction. For example, the suspended socket system 100 is in the first posture, and the socket 1 having a cable may be inclined in the up-down direction. In addition, the second direction D2 is consistent with the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80 in this embodiment, but may not be consistent with the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80.

(2.1) Wiring conduit

First, referring to FIG. 3, the wiring duct 80 will be described. The wiring duct 80 is fixed, for example, in the ceiling of a room of a building along the ceiling surface in the longitudinal direction.

The wiring duct 80 includes not only the conductor 81 described above but also a duct body 82.

The catheter body 82 is made of metal such as aluminum to form a flat rectangular tube with openings at both ends, and the surface is coated with an insulating synthetic resin. The catheter body 82 has an open groove-shaped connecting recess 821 below. The connection recess 821 is formed linearly. A tongue portion 822 is provided at each lower end of the pair of inner surfaces of the catheter body 82 facing each other in the width direction of the catheter body 82. The tongue 822 protrudes from the lower end of the corresponding inner surface of the catheter body 82 toward the inside of the connection recess 821. That is, the connection recess 821 of the catheter body 82 becomes a so-called tongue groove.

More specifically, the catheter body 82 has an upper wall 823 and two side walls 824. The upper wall 823 constitutes a wall above the connection recess 821. The two side walls 824 protrude downward from both ends of the upper wall 823 in the width direction, and constitute walls connecting the both sides in the width direction of the concave portion 821. The connection recess 821 is opened on the lower side of the catheter body 82 and on both sides in the longitudinal direction. When viewed as a groove, the depth direction of the connection recess 821 becomes the up-down direction, and the depth side of the connection recess 821 in the depth direction becomes the upper side. Each tongue 822 protrudes from the lower end of the corresponding side wall 824 toward the inside of the connection recess 821. Each tongue 822 protrudes parallel to the upper wall 823.

Further, on the inner surface of the connecting recess 821 (the surface of the two side walls 824 facing each other), from the upper side of the tongue portion 822 (the deep side of the connecting recess 821 in the depth direction), respectively, in the longitudinal direction of the catheter body 82 The extended pair of conductor holding portions 825 protrude. A groove-shaped concave portion 826 extending in the longitudinal direction of the conductor holding portion 825 is provided on the surface of the pair of conductor holding portions 825 facing each other (the surface of each conductor holding portion 825 in the width direction of the catheter body 82). In each recess 826, the above-mentioned conductor 81 is housed and held.

In addition, the structure which mounts the wiring duct 80 of the socket 1 with a cable is not limited to what is shown in the figure. For example, the socket 1 with a cable can be installed in any wiring duct such as a wiring duct including three or more conductors.

(2.2)Socket with cable

As shown above, the socket 1 with a cable includes a socket body 2, a mounting portion 3, and a cable 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the socket body 2 includes a housing 21 and a socket portion 22 housed in the housing 21.

The housing 21 is made of synthetic resin, for example, ABS resin. The housing 21 has a "longitudinal length" shape that is long in one direction (upper and lower directions in FIG. 1) and is flat in one direction (thickness direction) in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The housing 21 is connected to the cable 4 at the first end 211 in the longitudinal direction. In addition, as the housing 21 approaches the first end 211 from the second end 212 in the longitudinal direction, its thickness and width gradually decrease in a tapered shape. The housing 21 adopts a shape connected from the second end 212 to the first end 211 without a step, so-called "ONE MOTION FORM". Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the housing 21 is gently curved inwardly from the second end 212 to a middle portion in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, when viewed from a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction, the outer peripheral surface of the housing 21 is a curved surface that is continuously connected across the entire circumference. The surface of the housing 21 is composed of an uneven surface subjected to wrinkle processing (embossing processing). The "wrinkle processing" referred to herein refers to the processing of imparting fine uneven wrinkles to the surface of the casing 21 when the casing 21 is formed.

The housing 21 is formed by combining two components of the body 213 and the cover 214. The main body 213 and the cover 214 have openings on the surfaces facing each other, and are combined in such a manner that their openings are aligned with each other. Thereby, an internal space is formed between the body 213 and the cover 214 to accommodate the socket portion 22 and the like. The body 213 and the cover 214 are, for example, a plurality of coupling claws protruding from the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the other of the body 213 and the lid 214 hooked into the plurality of coupling holes formed by the inner peripheral edge of the opening of one, whereby Temporarily fixed to each other. In this state, the body 213 and the cover 214 are combined by passing a plurality of coupling screws through one of the body 213 and the cover 214 and fixing the other.

At the first end 211 of the housing 21, an introduction hole for passing an insulated wire described later is formed. The introduction hole is a circular hole formed in the end surface of the first end 211 of the housing 21. In this embodiment, a pair of semicircular notches formed in the body 213 and the cover 214 are combined to form a circular introduction hole.

In addition, an opening 216 for exposing the socket 22 is formed at the second end 212 of the housing 21. Opening 216 is a hole that penetrates the wall on the second end 212 side of the housing 21 and is formed in a rectangular shape that is long in the width direction of the housing 21. In addition, the opening 216 may be formed on the side of the housing 21, for example. In this case, in the first posture of the socket 1 with a cable, the connection port 20 of the socket portion 22 faces the side of the housing 21.

In addition, the housing 21 further has a pair of hooks 217 protruding from the surface of the body 213 opposite to the cover 214 system. The pair of hooks 217 is a structure for hooking the power cord extending from the plug of the electrical device 301. Thereby, the socket 1 with a cable is in a state where the plug is connected to the socket body 2, and the pair of hooks 217 can bear the load acting on the plug due to the weight of the power cord or the like.

The socket part 22 has a built-in member such as a housing 221 made of synthetic resin and a blade bearing member accommodated in the housing 221. The socket portion 22 is housed in the housing 21 so that one surface (connection surface) 222 of the housing 221 is exposed from the opening 216. On the connection surface 222, two connection ports 20 for inserting plugs (or pins) of the plug are formed. The socket portion 22 has a locking mechanism for preventing the plug blade (or pin) of the plug from turning by rotating the plug.

Furthermore, in the housing 21, a flexible insulated wire including an electric wire and a sheath is housed. The insulated wire system is, for example, a covered wire, and is composed of, for example, a vinyl round insulated wire (VRF, VSRF). The first end of the insulated wire is branched into two branched insulated wires in the housing 21, and each branched insulated wire is connected to the terminal portion (so-called quick junction terminal) of the corresponding connection port 20 among the two connection ports 20. In addition, the second end of the insulated wire passes through the introduction hole of the casing 21 and the inside of the cable 4 and is exposed from the first end 41 of the cable 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cable 4 has an outer profile 40.

In this embodiment, the outer profile 40 is a metal tube such as stainless steel, and the surface is coated with insulation Synthetic resin. The outline 40 is cylindrical. The outer profile 40 has a rigidity above a prescribed value. The outer profile 40 is better in bending rigidity and twisting rigidity. The outer profile 40 is at least in a state where the plug is not connected to the connection port 20 of the socket body 2, and when the socket 1 with the cable is maintained in the second posture by the holding body 9, the outer profile 40 has a bending rigidity that hardly bends. good. In addition, it is preferable that the outer profile 40 has a twist rigidity to the extent that the outer profile 40 of the human power system hardly twists.

Inside the outer profile 40, the insulated wire is passed. The wires of the insulated wires are electrically insulated from the outer profile 40 by the sheath.

The length of the cable 4 is set such that when the socket 1 with a cable is set to the first posture, the socket body 2 (the connection port 20) is located on the use surface 300 and wiring of the electrical device 301 placed in connection with the socket body 2 The length between the ducts 80 (refer to FIG. 4). For example, in the case where the electrical device 301 is a portable personal computer, the use surface 300 is placed on the top plate of the table (furniture) of the portable personal computer. For example, when the electrical equipment 301 is a tool installed in a building, the use surface 300 is the floor surface of the room of the building. The length of the cable 4 is, for example, when the suspended socket system 100 is installed, from the plurality of sockets 1 with cables of different lengths of the cable 4, the socket 1 with cable having the cable 4 of the desired length is selected, This can be set.

By selecting the socket 1 with a cable having a cable 4 of an appropriate length, the distance from the use surface 300 to the socket body 2 (connection port 20) when the socket 1 with a cable is set to the first posture ( Hereinafter referred to as "socket height"). The appropriate value of the height of the outlet varies depending on the purpose of the room in which the suspended outlet system 100 is installed, the type of electrical equipment 301 connected, and the like. For example, when it is assumed that the plug of the electrical device 301 is connected to the socket body 2 in a state where the user is standing like a laboratory or factory in a school, the socket height may be about 80 cm. For example, imagine a user sitting in a library, office, etc. When the plug of the electrical device 301 is connected to the socket body 2 in the state, the socket height may be about 50 cm. For example, when it is assumed that the plug of the electrical device 301 installed on the floor surface is connected to the socket body 2, the socket height may be 0 cm. For example, when the connection port 20 faces the side of the housing 21, the height of the socket may be set to about 0 cm. The socket height system may be, for example, 0 cm or more, preferably 10 cm or more, and may be 20 cm or more and 50 cm or more. The height of the socket is preferably 200 cm or less, more preferably 150 cm or less, and may be 80 cm or less and 50 cm or less.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting portion 3 includes a connection member 31 and an arm member 32.

The connecting member 31 includes a cylindrical body 310, a pair of terminal plates 311, and a pair of protrusions 312. The cylindrical body 310 is formed of, for example, a resin material, and has electrical insulation. The cylindrical body 310 is formed into a cylindrical shape (here, cylindrical), and has a top surface 3100 on the upper side. The pair of terminal plates 311 is formed of, for example, a metal material. The pair of terminal plates 311 has conductivity. Each of the pair of terminal plates 311 is formed into a plate shape. The pair of terminal plates 311 protrude from the side surface of the cylindrical body 310 in a direction orthogonal to the height direction (vertical direction) of the cylindrical body 310 to face each other. The pair of protrusions 312 is formed of, for example, a resin material. The pair of protrusions 312 has electrical insulation. The pair of protrusions 312 are formed in a plate shape. The pair of protruding portions 312 are formed on the side surface of the cylindrical body 310, and protrude toward each other in a direction orthogonal to the height direction of the cylindrical body 310 from a portion below the terminal plate 311. The pair of protruding portions 312 respectively protrude in parallel with the pair of terminal plates 311.

The arm member 32 includes a first arm 321, a second arm 322, an arm-side cable 323, a first spring 324, and a second spring 325.

The first arm 321 is formed of, for example, a metal material. The first arm 321 is formed by a pair of side plates (first arm side plates) 3211 and a top plate 3210, and is formed on the side as an inverted U-shape. The top plate 3210 is drilled in the center to power the arm side The rectangular plate shaped hole through which the cable 323 passes. It is combined with the lower surface of the cylindrical body 310 of the connecting member 31. The pair of side plates 3211 are rectangular plates whose respective front ends are semicircular, and protrude in the thickness direction of the top plate to face each other. At the front end portions of the pair of side plates 3211, insertion holes (first insertion holes) are formed, respectively. At the base end portion of the pair of side plates 3211 (the portion on the top plate 3210 side), semi-circular plate-shaped support plate portions are protruded in the width direction of the side plates 3211, and from the support plate portions, cylindrical hook portions (first hook portions) ) Protruding outwards respectively.

The second arm 322 is formed of, for example, a metal material. The second arm 322 is formed by a pair of side plates (second arm side plates) 3221 and the bottom plate 3220, and is formed as a U-shape on the side. The bottom plate 3220 has a rectangular plate shape, and the lower surface is combined with the first end 41 of the cable 4, and the insulated wire of the cable 4 passes through the hole formed in the center thereof. The pair of side plates 3221 are rectangular plates whose respective front ends are semicircular, and protrude in the thickness direction of the bottom plate 3220 to face each other. At the front end portions of the pair of side plates 3221, insertion holes (second insertion holes) are formed, respectively. From the base end portions (the portion on the bottom plate 3220 side) of the pair of side plates 3221, cylindrical hook portions (second hook portions) protrude outward.

The arm-side cable 323 is part of the above-mentioned insulated wire (part of the second end). One pair of power cables of the arm-side cable 323 are respectively connected to the corresponding terminal board 311 in the cylindrical body 310 of the connection member 31. The mounting portion 3 has a ground terminal protruding from the top surface 3100 of the cylindrical body 310. The ground line of the arm-side cable 323 is preferably connected to this ground terminal. The ground terminal may be configured to be connected to the exposed metal portion of the catheter body 82, for example. The exposed metal portion of the catheter body 82 is, for example, a metal portion exposed by removing a portion of the coating film on the lower side of the upper wall 823 of the catheter body 82.

The first arm side plate 3211 and the second arm side plate 3221 overlap the first and second insertion holes, pass the bushing through the first and second insertion holes, and couple the bolt to the nut through the bushing, thereby combining The center of the first and second insertion holes can be relatively rotated as a rotation axis. That is, the arm member 32 can be transferred between the first state (see FIG. 1) and the second state (see FIG. 2 ), and the first state is the length direction of the first arm 321 and the length of the second arm 322 In the same direction, the second state is such that the longitudinal direction of the first arm 321 and the longitudinal direction of the second arm 322 cross. The turning direction of the arm member 32 with respect to the second arm 322 of the first arm 321 uses the protruding direction of the pair of protruding portions 312 of the connecting member 31 (the protruding direction of the pair of terminal plates 311) as the axis direction. When the arm member 32 is in the first state, the socket 1 with the cable is in the first posture, and when the arm member 32 is in the second state, the socket 1 with the cable is in the second posture. That is, in the present embodiment, the arm member 32 constitutes a vertical rotation mechanism that holds the cable 4 in the posture (first posture) along the first direction D1 and in the second direction D2 along the first direction D1 Can rotate between postures (second posture).

Each of the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 is a coil spring (tension coil spring). Each of the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 is hooked at one end by the first hook portion of the first arm side plate 3211, and at the other end by the second hook portion of the second arm side plate 3221. The natural length of the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 is substantially the same as the interval between the first hook portion and the second hook portion when the arm member 32 is in the second state (see FIG. 2 ).

The first spring 324 and the second spring 325 are widened by the interval between the first hook portion and the second hook portion when the arm member 32 transitions from the second state (see FIG. 2) to the first state (see FIG. 1) While being elongated. In addition, the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 decelerate the transition speed of the arm member 32 from the second state to the first state by the restoring force generated by being stretched. That is, in the present embodiment, the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 constitute a reduction mechanism. The so-called deceleration mechanism here uses the longitudinal rotation mechanism (arm member 32) to move the socket 1 with the cable from the posture along the second direction D2 (second posture) to the posture along the first direction D1 (first posture) A mechanism for decelerating the rotation speed of the cable 4 when rotating.

(2.3) Installation of sockets with cables for wiring conduits

By mounting the mounting portion 3 on the wiring duct 80, the socket 1 with a cable is installed on the wiring duct 80.

For example, first, the mounting portion 3 is positioned below the wiring duct 80 so that the protruding direction of the pair of protruding portions 312 of the connecting member 31 coincides with the connecting concave portion 821 (the longitudinal direction of the catheter body 82 ). Then, after inserting the pair of protruding portions 312 into the connection recess 821 from below, the mounting portion 3 is rotated 90 degrees around the axis of the cylindrical body 310. Thereby, the protruding portion 312 is inserted into the gap between the tongue portion 822 of the catheter body 82 and the conductor holding portion 825, and the protruding portion 312 is held between the tongue portion 822 and the conductor holding portion 825. In addition, the terminal plate 311 is inserted into the concave portion 826 of the conductor holding portion 825 to connect the terminal plate 311 and the conductor 81. According to this procedure, the socket 1 with a cable can be installed at any position in the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80.

In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the mounting portion 3 of the wiring duct 80, the mounting portion 3 may be provided with a rotation assist mechanism which is provided with the connection member 31 to the arm member 32 in response to button operation or lever operation, etc. (Top plate 3210) (centered on the axis of the cylindrical body 310) rotates.

When the socket 1 with a cable is removed from the wiring duct 80, the procedure opposite to the procedure at the time of installation may be performed. That is, the mounting portion 3 is rotated 90 degrees around the axis of the cylindrical body 310, and the protruding portion 312 is removed from between the tongue portion 822 and the conductor holding portion 825, and then the mounting portion 3 can be pulled out from the connection recessed portion 821 .

(2.4) Holder

Next, the holder 9 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 9 includes a holder body 90, a pair of mounting plates 91, and a hook 92.

The holder body 90 is a rectangular parallelepiped formed of a resin material, and has a disk-shaped top plate on one surface side (upper surface side). On the upper surface of the top plate of the holder body 90, a columnar portion protruding upward is provided. One to one The mounting plate 91 is formed into a plate shape from a resin material. The pair of mounting plates 91 protrude in opposite directions from the front end of the columnar portion of the column at a distance from the top plate and parallel to the top plate. The hook 92 is provided on the bottom surface (the surface opposite to the top plate side) of the holder body 90.

The hook 92 is sized to hook the cable 4 of the socket 1 with a cable. That is, the holding body 9 includes a hook 92 for hooking a part of the cable 4. The holding body 9 is capable of holding the outer contour 40 of the cable 4 at a position separated from the mounting portion 3.

The holder 9 is attached to the wiring duct 80, for example.

In order to attach the holding body 9 to the wiring duct 80, for example, the holding body 9 is positioned below the wiring duct 80 such that the protruding direction of the pair of mounting plates 91 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the connection recess 821 (the longitudinal direction of the duct body 82). . Then, after inserting the pair of mounting plates 91 into the connection recess 821 from below, the holder 9 is rotated 90 degrees in the horizontal plane. Thereby, the mounting plate 91 is inserted into the gap between the tongue 822 of the catheter body 82 and the conductor holding portion 825, and the mounting plate 91 is held between the tongue 822 and the conductor holding portion 825. According to this procedure, the holding body 9 can be installed at any position in the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80.

(2.5) Example of use

As described above, the socket 1 with a cable is mounted on the wiring duct 80 by mounting the mounting part 3 on the wiring duct 80. At this time, the socket body 2 is electrically connected to the conductor 81 of the wiring duct 80 via the wire of the insulated wire and the terminal plate 311. That is, electric power can be supplied from the wiring duct 80 to the electrical device 301 connected to the connection port 20 of the socket body 2.

When the socket body 2 is not used, the user bends the arm member 32 (set to the second state), and The cable 4 is hooked on the hook 92 in advance. As a result, the socket 1 with the cable is maintained in the posture along the wiring duct 80 (the second posture in the second direction D2), and the socket body 2 can be removed from the space occupied by the socket body 2 during use ( (See Figure 5).

When the socket body 2 is not used, the user uses, for example, a fork-shaped rod (a Y-shaped rod with a moon-shaped metal piece attached to the front end), etc., after lifting the cable 4 out of the hook 92, position the cable 4 in the horizontal direction ( The width direction of the wiring duct 80 is slightly moved to the position where the cable 4 is detached from the hook 92 in the vertical direction. In this way, the socket body 2 and the cable 4 are rotated about the center of the insertion hole of the arm member 32 by the dead weight of the socket body 2 and the cable 4, and the socket 1 with the cable is transferred to the first posture. At this time, by providing the first spring 324 and the second spring 325 as the speed reduction mechanism, the socket body 2 and the cable 4 are suppressed from rotating rapidly.

In the first posture, the socket body 2 (the connection port 20) is located near the use surface 300. Therefore, the user connects the plug of the electrical device 301 to the socket body 2 and can use the electrical device 301 by referring to the power supplied from the socket 1 with a cable (see FIG. 4 ).

When the use of the electrical device 301 is completed without using the socket body 2, the user uses, for example, a fork-shaped rod, etc. to bend the arm member 32 and rotate the cable 4 while lifting the socket body 2 to hook the cable 4 to the hook 92. With this, the socket 1 with the cable can be maintained in the second posture.

Here, the holding body 9 preferably holds the outer contour 40 of the cable 4 at a predetermined distance from the mounting portion 3. For example, it is preferable that the holding body 9 is capable of holding the outer profile 40 closer to the second end 42 than the center of the entire length of the cable 4. For example, the holding body 9 is attached to the wiring duct 80 and is preferably installed at a position near the second end 42 of the cable 4 when the socket 1 with a cable is set to the second posture. In this case, since the cable 4 is held by the hook 92 at the portion near the second end 42, it can stably maintain the insertion of the cable in the second posture Block 1.

(3) Modification

The above-mentioned embodiment is only one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. As long as the above-mentioned embodiment can achieve the purpose of cost disclosure, various changes can be made according to the design and the like. Hereinafter, a modification of the above-mentioned embodiment will be listed. In the following, the above-mentioned embodiment is referred to as "basic example". The modified examples and basic examples described below can be applied after being combined as appropriate.

(3.1) First modification

6, a suspension socket system 100 according to a first modification will be described. The suspension socket system 100 of this modification is different from the suspension socket system 100 of the basic example in the configuration of the main mounting portion 3, the cable 4, and the holding body 9.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, the holding body 9 replaces the hook 92 and includes a second coupling portion. Here, the second coupling portion is a magnet 93 and is arranged in the holder body 90. Furthermore, the socket body 2 is provided with a first coupling portion that can be coupled to the second coupling portion by magnetic force. Here, the first coupling portion is a magnetic body 23 made of a ferromagnetic material that can be coupled to the second coupling portion by magnetic force, and is accommodated in the housing 21.

In addition, in the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, the cable 4 does not have the outer profile 40, and the flexible insulated wire 43 is exposed. Therefore, the cable 4 system can be bent at any portion.

In addition, in the suspension type socket system 100 of this modification, the attachment part 3 is provided with the cover member 33 instead of the arm member 32. The cover member 33 is formed of, for example, a resin material and has a hollow cylindrical shape tapering downward. The connection member 31 is connected to the upper surface of the cover member 33, and formed at the center of the lower surface of the cover member 33 The hole through which the edge wire 43 passes. The insulated wire 43 (the power cord) that is introduced into the cover member 33 through the hole is connected to the terminal plate 311 (see FIG. 3) of the connection member 31.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, even when the socket body 2 is not used, by holding the socket body 2 with the holding body 9, the socket 1 with a cable can be maintained in the second posture. Thereby, when the socket body 2 is not used, the socket 1 with a cable can be maintained at the same height as the mounting portion 3. The socket body 2 can be removed from the space occupied by the socket body 2 during use. Therefore, when not in use, the pendant socket system 100 is less likely to be a factor limiting the range of human movement.

In addition, in the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, since it is not necessary to hook the cable 4 to the hook 92, the holding body 9 holds the socket with the cable as compared with the suspension socket system 100 of the basic example. 1's homework is easy.

In this modification, the attachment portion 3 may include the arm member 32, and the holding body 9 may include both the hook 92 and the magnet 93. The first coupling portion may be a magnetic body, and the second coupling portion may be a magnet, or both the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion may be magnets. The second coupling portion may be attached to the cable 4 instead of the socket body 2. For example, the wire body may be attached to the holding body 9 so that the socket body 2 can be easily detached from the holding body 9.

(3.2) Second modification

With reference to Fig. 7, a suspension socket system 100 according to a second modification will be described. The suspension socket system 100 of this modification is different from the suspension socket system 100 of the basic example in the configuration of the main mounting portion 3 and the cable 4.

In the suspended socket system 100 of this modification, as in the case of the first modification, the cable 4 does not have the outer profile 40, and the flexible insulated wire 43 is exposed.

In addition, in the suspension type socket system 100 of this modification, the attachment part 3 is provided with the winding member 34 instead of the arm member 32. The winding member 34 includes, for example, a housing 341, a spool, a coil spring that is a spring, and a release button 342.

The housing 341 is formed of, for example, a resin material, and has a cylindrical shape having an accommodation space 340 inside. The housing 341 is a part (upper part) of the side surface of the cylinder, and has a planar portion, and the connecting member 31 is connected to this portion. In addition, on the side surface of the cylindrical casing 341, an insertion hole 343 for passing the insulated wire 43 is formed in a portion away from the plane portion. The reel system is housed in the housing 341. A part of the insulated wire 43 on the mounting portion 3 side is accommodated in the accommodating space 340 of the housing 341 by a winding shaft.

The reel uses a ratchet mechanism to restrict the direction of rotation so that only the insulated wire 43 can be drawn out. If the insulated wire 43 is pulled, the insulated wire 43 is drawn out from the receiving space 340 of the housing 341. Moreover, when the release button 342 is operated with the insulated wire 43 pulled out, the restriction by the ratchet mechanism is released, and the restoring force of the coil spring acting on the reel rotates the reel in the direction of winding the insulated wire 43.

That is, in the present modification, the mounting portion 3 has an accommodation space 340 for accommodating a portion (the portion of the first end 41) of the cable 4 (insulated wire 43) on the mounting portion 3 side .

For example, for the reason that the length of the wiring duct 80 is shorter than the length of the cable 4, there may be a case where the holding body 9 is installed in the wiring duct 80 relatively close to the mounting portion 3. In this case, in the cable 4 (insulated wire 43), the portion (excess portion) hooked between the position of the hook 92 and the second end 42 is suspended from the hook 92 in the up-down direction. In the case of the suspension socket system 100 according to this modification, even in this case, by storing the portion of the first end 41 of the cable 4 in the receiving space 340 of the mounting portion 3, the excess Partly less.

In addition, the winding member 34 also functions as a length adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the cable 4.

In this modification, the attachment portion 3 may have an outer profile 40. The outer profile 40 exposes the first end portion of the insulated wire 43 (the portion close to the mounting portion 3), and accommodates the second end portion of the insulated wire 43 (the portion opposite to the mounting portion 3). In this modification, the reel, the coil spring, and the release button (and the ratchet mechanism and storage space) may be provided in the socket body 2.

(3.3) Third modification

With reference to Fig. 8, a suspension socket system 100 according to a third modification will be described. The structure of the main cable 4 of the suspension socket system 100 of this modification is different from the suspension socket system 100 of the basic example.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, the cable 4 serves as the outer profile 40 and includes the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402. Each of the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402 is a metal tube such as stainless steel, and the surface is coated with an insulating synthetic resin. Each of the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402 has a rigidity of a predetermined value or more. Each of the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402 is cylindrical. The outer diameter of the second outer profile 402 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first outer profile 401. The first outer profile 401 is located on the first end 141 side of the outer profile 40, and the second outer profile 402 is located on the second end 142 side of the outer profile 40, by inserting a part of the second outer profile 402 into the first outer profile 401 Inside, the outer profile 40 forms a tube. In this modification, the length of the outer profile 40 (the length of the cable 4) can be adjusted by changing the insertion amount of the second outer profile 402 into the first outer profile 401. In addition, the thickness of the insulated wire in the outer profile 40 is preferably bendable. The length of the insulated wire in the outer profile 40 is as long as the length of the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402 are combined. can.

In addition, the cable 4 further includes a fixing member 44 for fixing the relative position of the second outer profile 402 and the first outer profile 401. The fixing member 44 is a butterfly screw here. A screw hole is provided at the end of the first outer profile 401 on the second outer profile 402 side. The fixing member 44 is screwed into this screw hole so that the front end of the fixing member 44 contacts the outer surface of the second outer profile 402, whereby the relative position of the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402 can be fixed.

That is, in this modification, the first outer profile 401, the second outer profile 402, and the fixture 44 constitute a length adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the cable 4.

In the case of the suspended socket system 100 of this modification, when the socket body 2 is used, the length of the cable 4 can be adjusted so that the socket body 2 is located at a desired height. In addition, when the socket body 2 is not used, by inserting the second outer profile 402 into the first outer profile 401, the length of the cable 4 is shortened, and a socket with a cable of shorter length can be held in the second posture 1.

In this modification, the outer profile 40 may include not only the first outer profile 401 and the second outer profile 402, but also one or more additional outer profiles. The additional outline may be cylindrical, and a part (end portion) thereof may be inserted into the second outline 402 or other additional outlines. That is, the outer profile 40 may be composed of three or more outer profiles.

(3.4) Fourth modification

9, a suspension socket system 100 according to a fourth modification will be described. The suspension socket system 100 of this modification is different from the suspension socket system 100 of the basic example in the configuration of the main mounting portion 3.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, the mounting part 3 replaces the arm member 32 and includes a lateral rotation member 35 and a connection cable 36.

The horizontal rotating member 35 includes a rotating body 350, a first support body 351, and a second support body 352. The rotating body 350 is formed into a cylindrical shape by, for example, a resin material. The first support body 351 is formed of, for example, a resin material and has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is arranged on the upper side of the rotating body 350 so that the bottom surface becomes upper side. The connecting member 31 is connected to the bottom surface (upper surface) of the first support body 351. The second support body 352 is formed of, for example, a resin material and has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is disposed below the rotating body 350 so that the bottom surface becomes the lower side. The first support body 351 and the second support body 352 are arranged above and below the rotating body 350 with the rotating body 350 in the vertical direction. The first support body 351 and the second support body 352 are fixed to each other. The first support body 351 and the second support body 352 hold the rotating body 350 so that the rotating body 350 can rotate around the axis of the cylindrical rotating body 350. The dotted hatched arrows in FIG. 9 indicate the rotation direction of the rotor 350. However, the rotation range of the rotating body 350 is not limited to the range of the dotted hatched arrow, and it can be rotated at any angle with the axis of the rotating body 350 as the center (that is, the rotating range of the rotating body 350 is 360°).

The connection cable 36 is connected (held) to the rotating body 350 and rotates together with the rotating body 350. The connection cable 36 has an outer profile (connection cable outer profile) 360. The outer profile 360 is a metal tube such as stainless steel, and the surface is coated with an insulating synthetic resin. The outline 360 is cylindrical. The profile 360 has a rigidity above a predetermined value. For example, the outer profile 360 is in a state where the plug is not connected to the connection port 20 of the socket body 2, and when the socket 1 with a cable is maintained in the first posture, the outer profile 360 has better bending rigidity to the extent that it hardly bends. The outer profile 360 is better in bending rigidity and twisting rigidity.

The connecting cable 36 is held by the rotating body 350 so as to protrude from the side of the rotating body 350 toward a radial direction of the rotating body 350. That is, the lateral rotation member 35 holds the first end 361 of the connection cable 36 so as to lie in a plane orthogonal to the first direction D1. Then, when the rotating body 350 rotates, the connection cable 36 rotates in a plane orthogonal to the first direction D1.

The second end 362 of the outer profile 360 is connected to the rotating member (second rotating member) 37.

The cable 4 system has an outer profile 40. The first end 41 of the cable 4 and the second end 362 of the connection cable 36 are relatively rotatable via a rotating member (second rotating member) 37.

In the cable 4 and the connecting cable 36, insulated wires are housed. The first end of the insulated wire is branched into two branched insulated wires in the housing 21 of the socket body 2, and each branched insulated wire is connected to the terminal portion (quick junction terminal) of the corresponding connection port 20 of the two connection ports 20 . The insulated wire passes through the outer contour 40 of the cable 4, the inside of the rotating member 37, the outer contour 360 of the connecting cable 36 and the rotating body 350, and its second end (of the power cord) and the terminal plate 311 of the connecting member 31 (refer to Figure 3) Connection.

That is, the socket body 2 is suspended from the end (the second end 362 of the connection cable 36) on the opposite side of the connection cable 36 from the lateral rotation member 35 through the cable 4 along the first direction D1.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, by rotating the rotating body 350 to the first support body 351 and the second support body 352, it can be adjusted in a plane (in a horizontal plane) orthogonal to the first direction D1 The location of the socket body 2. In addition, when the socket body 2 is not used, the rotating body 350 is rotated so that the longitudinal direction of the connection cable 36 is along the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80. Then, the rotating member 37 is rotated so that the cable 4 is along the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 80, and by hooking the cable 4 to the hook 92 of the holding body 9, the socket body 2 can be maintained in the second posture.

In this modification, as shown in the first modification, the holding body 9 may hold the socket body 2 by magnetic force. In this modification, as shown in the third modification, the cable 4 may include a first outer profile 401, a second outer profile 402, and a fixing member 44. In this modification, the cable 4 may not have the outer profile 40 and the rotating member 37 may be omitted. in In this modification, the lateral rotation member 35 may be provided with a temporary position fixing mechanism (gear mechanism, such as a ratchet mechanism) that can fix the rotation of the rotating body 350 at predetermined angular intervals (for example, 5° intervals) position.

(3.5) Fifth modification

With reference to Fig. 10, a suspension socket system 100 according to a fifth modification will be described. The suspension socket system 100 of this modification is different from the suspension socket system 100 of the fourth modification in the configuration of the main connection cable 36. In addition, the dotted hatched arrows in FIG. 10 indicate the rotating direction of the rotating body 350. However, the rotation range of the rotating body 350 is not limited to the range of the dotted hatched arrow, and it can be rotated at any angle with the axis of the rotating body 350 as the center (that is, the rotating range of the rotating body 350 is 360°).

In the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, as in the case of the cable 4 of the suspension socket system 100 of the third modification, the connection cable 36 is on the outer profile 360, including the first outer profile 3601 and the second outer profile 3602. Each of the first outer profile 3601 and the second outer profile 3602 is a metal tube such as stainless steel, and the surface is coated with an insulating synthetic resin. Each of the first outer profile 3601 and the second outer profile 3602 has a rigidity of a predetermined value or more. Each of the first outer profile 3601 and the second outer profile 3602 is cylindrical. The outer diameter of the second outer profile 3602 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first outer profile 3601. The first profile 3601 is located on the first end 361 side of the profile 360, and the second profile 3602 is located on the second end 362 side of the profile 360, by inserting a part of the second profile 3602 into the first profile 3601 Inside, the outer profile 360 forms a tube. In this modification, the length of the outer profile 360 (the length of the connection cable 36) can be adjusted by changing the insertion amount of the second outer profile 3602 into the first outer profile 3601. In addition, the connection cable 36 further includes a fixing member 364 for fixing the relative position of the first outer contour 3601 and the second outer contour 3602. The fixing member 364 is a butterfly screw here. A screw hole is provided at the end of the first outer profile 3601 on the second outer profile 3602 side. The fixing member 364 is screwed into this screw hole, and the front end of the fixing member 364 is brought into contact with the second outer profile 3602, whereby the relative positions of the first outer profile 3601 and the second outer profile 3602 can be fixed.

In the case of the suspension socket system 100 of this modification, not only the function of the fourth modification, but also the rotating body 350 is rotated, and by adjusting the length of the connection cable 36, it can be adjusted in the plane orthogonal to the first direction D1 ( The position of the socket body 2 in the horizontal plane).

In this modification, as shown in the first modification, the holding body 9 may hold the socket body 2 by magnetic force. In this modification, as shown in the third modification, the cable 4 may include a first outer profile 401, a second outer profile 402, and a fixing member 44. In this modification, the cable 4 may not have the outer profile 40 and the rotating member 37 may be omitted. In this modification, the lateral rotation member 35 may be provided with a temporary position fixing mechanism (gear mechanism, such as a ratchet mechanism) that can fix the rotating body 350 at a predetermined angular interval (e.g., 5° interval). Turn position.

In one form of the fourth and fifth modification examples, the suspension socket system 100 may not include the holding body 9. For example, the suspended socket system 100 includes a socket 1 with a cable that is attached to the wiring duct 80 and is supplied with power from the wiring duct 80. The socket 1 with a cable includes a connection member 31, a socket body 2, a connection cable 36, and a rotation member (lateral rotation member) 35. The connection member 31 is provided in the wiring duct 80 and electrically connected to the wiring duct 80. The socket body 2 has a connection port 20 for connecting a connection object (plug of the electrical device 301). The connection cable 36 has an outer shape 360 having a rigidity equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and serves as a power supply path from the connection member 31 to the socket body 2. The horizontal rotation member 35 holds the first end 361 of the connection cable 36. The socket body 2 is suspended from the second end 362 of the connection cable 36 along the first direction D1. The lateral rotation member 35 holds the connection cable 36 in a plane orthogonal to the first direction D1, and rotates the connection cable 36 in a plane orthogonal to the first direction D1.

In this form of the fourth and fifth modification examples, the suspension socket system 100 is further provided with a connection cable The cable 4 between the second end 362 of 36 and the socket body 2.

In the suspension socket system 100 of this form in the fourth and fifth modification examples, the length of the connection cable 36 may be variable.

(3.6) Other modified examples

In the basic example, the fourth modification, and the fifth modification, the outer contour 40 of the cable 4 is made of metal, but it is not limited to this, as long as the socket 1 with the cable is held in the second posture by the holding body 9 The rigidity of the bending degree may also be formed of other materials such as resin. Furthermore, the outer contour 40 of the cable 4 is not a tubular structure, but has a rigidity of a predetermined value or more (having a rigidity that does not bend when the socket 1 with a cable is held in the second posture by the holding body 9 ) Jacket (insulated wire jacket). Similarly, in the third modification, the second outer profile 402 may be a tubular structure formed of a material such as resin and having a rigidity of a predetermined value or more, or may be a sheath having a rigidity of a predetermined value or more. In the fourth modification, the outer contour 360 of the connection cable 36 is made of metal, but it is not limited to this, and may be formed of other materials such as resin. In addition, the outer 360 of the connection cable 36 may have a rigid sheath of a predetermined value or more. Similarly, in the fifth modification, the second outer profile 3602 may be a tubular structure formed of a material such as resin and having rigidity equal to or greater than a predetermined value, or may be a sheath having rigidity equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

The holding body 9 may not be attached to the wiring duct 80. For example, the holding body 9 may be installed at any position on the ceiling of the room where the wiring duct 80 is installed.

The connection target connected to the socket body 2 is not limited to the plug of the electrical device 301. That is, the socket body 2 may have a connection port other than the insertion port to which the plug of the electrical device 301 is connected. For example, the socket body 2 may also be provided with communication power for connecting a LAN (Local Area Network) cable, etc. The connector of the cable connector can also be equipped with a USB socket connector. In addition, PLC (Power Line Communication) technology such as HD-PLC (registered trademark) can also be used, using the power cord as a communication line.

The holding body 9 is not limited to a structure having a hook 92 for hooking a part of the cable 4 or a structure for holding the socket body 2 by magnetic force. For example, as shown in the door gripper, it may include a claw and a receiving portion. The claw is provided on the second end 212 side of the housing 21 at the socket body 2 and is capable of advancing and retracting the housing 21. It is provided in the holding body 9 and can hold claws.

The vertical rotation mechanism that holds the cable 4 so that the cable 4 can rotate between the posture along the first direction D1 and the posture along the second direction D2 is not limited to the structure of the arm member 32. The vertical rotation mechanism may be, for example, a structure in which a plurality of gears are combined to rotate the cable 4.
