Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug socket, and more particularly, to a plug socket for supplying power to a connected electronic apparatus to correspond to sensed load current or for automatically cutting off power to cut off standby power to the electronic apparatus regardless of the kind or number of connectec electronic apparatuses.
  • plugs are always plugged in a plug socket so that the plugs remain plugged in the plug socket when the electronic apparatuses are not used for a long time.
  • the electronic apparatuses consume a certain amount of standby power when they are not used so that unnecessary power consumption is generated.
  • the plugs In order to prevent the standby current from being consumed, the plugs must be plugged out from the plug socket to prevent power from being supplied to the electronic apparatuses and the plugs must be plugged in the plug socket whenever the electronic apparatuses are used.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above and/or other problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a plug socket in which the load current of power supplied to an electronic apparatus is sensed to determine the operation state of the electronic apparatus so that the power is automatically supplied or intercepted in accordance with the operation state and in which, in the case where the plug socket is buried in a wall, a conversion switch is attached to change the plug socket into a plug socket to which the power is always supplied when a circuit is out of order in the plug socket so that it is possible to prevent power consumption caused by the standby power of the electronic apparatus and to completely prevent the consumption of the standby power that occupies no less than 10% of the entire power consumption at home.
  • an electric socket comprising: a switch unit for supplying power to be supplied to an electronic apparatus or another electric socket and interrupting the power therefrom; a setting switch manipulated to vary a load detecting value for interrupting the power and a delay time until the power is interrupted according a kind or a combination of connected electronic apparatuses; a signal input unit into which an operating signal is inputted such that the power is supplied to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket; a load current detector for detecting a load signal according to status of the electronic apparatus or another electric socket and inputting the load signal; and a controller for controlling the switch unit such to supply the power to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket when the operating signal is inputted from the signal input unit, and to automatically interrupt the power to be supplied to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket according to the load signal inputted from the load current detector.
  • a wall electrical socket comprising: at least one insertion opening into which plugs of an electronic apparatus or another electric socket are inserted; a power saving circuit for detecting a load value for the supplying or interruption of a power to supply and interrupt the power to and from the electronic apparatus connected to the insertion opening; a switch for switching the power to be directly supplied to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket when the power saving circuit is malfunctioned; and a jack connecting unit for supplying the power to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket directly or through the power saving circuit according to an installation status of a connecting jack when supplying the power to the electronic apparatus or another electric socket through the power saving circuit.
  • a wall electrical socket using a radio signal comprising: a main electric socket including a power saving circuit unit for detecting a load value of the connected electronic apparatus or another electric socket to supply or automatically interrupt the power to or from the connected electronic apparatus or another electric socket; and a signal gateway for converting an infrared operating signal to be received into an operating signal according to a desired communication protocol and for transmitting and inputting an operating signal the main electric socket.
  • a wall electrical socket comprising: a socket assembly having at least one insertion opening into which plugs of an electronic apparatus and another electric socket are inserted; and substrates in which a power saving circuit unit for supplying or automatically interrupting the supplying power to or from the electronic apparatus connected to the insertion opening or another electric socket is mounted; wherein the substrates are coupled with the rear side of the socket assembly by one of fitting or fastening.
  • the electric socket of the present invention determines the status that an electronic apparatus or electronic apparatus connected to another electric socket is standby by detecting a load current so that power to be supplied is automatically interrupted after a predetermined time has elapsed. Since, although one or more electronic apparatuses having different power factor are connected to the electric socket, entire load detecting values can be varied so that the load detection and the load control are enabled even when electronic apparatuses having difference characteristics are combined. Therefore, the user convenience is remarkably improved and the power consumption consumed as the standby power is prevented so that energy and costs are significantly saved.
  • the electric socket supplies power to the electronic apparatus connected to a network only at need so that undesired standby power consumption can be prevented.
  • the consumption of the standby power remarkably increased due to use of a home network system can be significantly reduced so that it is effective to save the energy.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une prise de courant. Ladite prise comporte un circuit d'économie de courant déterminant l'état de fonctionnement d'un appareil électronique ou de plusieurs appareils électroniques connectés à une autre prise de courant, en fonction d'un signal de chargement de manière à réguler l'alimentation ou à couper automatiquement le courant. Il est possible de réguler le courant selon un statut de fonctionnement de l'appareil électronique connecté et de réguler le courant acheminé jusqu'à l'appareil électronique connecté à un réseau domestique. Après l'écoulement d'une certaine période de temps, lorsque ledit appareil électronique n'est pas utilisé, le courant est automatiquement coupé, de telle manière que la consommation de courant non souhaitée à cause d'un courant de réserve peut être prévenue et des coûts associés sont considérablement épargnés. Ledit appareil électronique est à l'abri d'une charge accidentelle entrée à partir de l'extérieur, de telle façon que la durée de vie dudit appareil électronique peut être prolongée et le confort de l'utilisateur est considérablement amélioré.
