Multiprise à programmation sélective Selective programming power strip
Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention
L'invention concerne le domaine des multiprises électriques, pour application dans la vie courante ou toute autre application nécessitant un tel dispositif.The invention relates to the field of electric power strips, for application in everyday life or any other application requiring such a device.
Présentation de l'Art AntérieurPresentation of the prior art
Les multiprises électriques sont des dispositifs comprenant plusieurs prises, permettant ainsi de brancher plusieurs appareils électriques, comme une télévision ou un réfrigérateur, sur un même dispositif. Les multiprises électriques sont des dispositifs très répandus, comme par exemple dans la vie courante. Il existe à ce jour divers dispositifs permettant de commander l'alimentation des prises d'une multiprise. Si l'on observe l'évolution des multiprises électriques, il est possible de distinguer trois générations de ce type de dispositif.The electric power strips are devices comprising several outlets, thus making it possible to connect several electrical appliances, such as a television or a refrigerator, on the same device. Electrical power strips are widely used devices, as for example in everyday life. There are to date various devices for controlling the power of the outlets of a power strip. If we observe the evolution of electric power strips, it is possible to distinguish three generations of this type of device.
La première génération de multiprises utilise un interrupteur intégré à la multiprise, ledit interrupteur ayant une position dans laquelle l'alimentation électrique des prises est coupée.The first generation of power strips uses a switch integrated in the power strip, said switch having a position in which the power supply of the outlets is cut off.
Une deuxième génération propose une solution consistant à brancher dans chaque prise de la multiprise un programmateur. Ce genre de programmateur, couramment vendu dans le commerce, permet de régler les plages horaires d'extinction de l'alimentation d'une prise. En général, ces programmateurs s'intercalent entre la prise et l'appareil que l'on veut alimenter dans une certaine plage horaire. Un inconvénient de cette solution est qu'elle lourde à mettre en place, et n'est de plus pas accessible à toutes les classes d'âge. En effet, elle nécessite l'utilisation combinée de plusieurs dispositifs.
Enfin la troisième génération de multiprises concerne les multiprises électriques de type « Maître / Esclave ». Dans ce type de dispositif, les prises esclaves s'éteignent automatiquement lorsque la prise maître n'est plus alimentée. L'inconvénient de ce dispositif est qu'il nécessite d'avoir un périphérique maître, comme par exemple un téléviseur dont la télécommande est relié à la prise maître. Un inconvénient des multiprises électriques de l'état de l'art est de proposer des solutions complexes, nécessitant plusieurs dispositifs. Par ailleurs, il apparaît que les multiprises électriques, bien que très répandues, ont connu une faible évolution technologique au cours du temps.A second generation offers a solution to plug into each socket of the power strip a programmer. This kind of programmer, commonly sold in the market, allows to adjust the time of the power off a plug. In general, these programmers are inserted between the socket and the device that one wants to feed in a certain time slot. A disadvantage of this solution is that it is cumbersome to put in place, and is not accessible to all age groups. Indeed, it requires the combined use of several devices. Finally, the third generation of power strips concerns electrical "Master / Slave" type power strips. In this type of device, the slave sockets automatically turn off when the master socket is no longer powered. The disadvantage of this device is that it requires having a master device, such as a TV whose remote control is connected to the master socket. A disadvantage of electric power strips of the state of the art is to propose complex solutions, requiring several devices. In addition, it appears that electric power strips, although very widespread, have experienced a small technological change over time.

Description détailléedetailed description
On a représenté en figure 1 et 2 la multiprise 1 électrique selon l'invention, ainsi que le schéma de son fonctionnement interne.FIGS. 1 and 2 show the electric power strip 1 according to the invention, as well as the diagram of its internal operation.
La multiprise 1 électrique comporte un boitier entouré d'une coque 2, ledit boitier comportant plusieurs logements aptes à accueillir des prises électriques 3,5, sur lesquelles des appareils électriques pourront être branchés. Le boitier de la multiprise 1 électrique peut
avoir des formes diverses, ce qui inclue par exemple mais de manière non limitative un parallèpipède, un disque ou un triangle. La multiprise 1 électrique comprend des moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement de la multiprise 1 électrique à un réseau 13 électrique. Les moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement à un réseau 13 électrique permettent d'assurer l'alimentation électrique des prises 3,5 de la multiprise 1. Les moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement sont en général un câble électrique comportant une prise mâle, apte à se connecter à une prise femelle reliée au réseau 13 électrique.The power strip 1 includes a housing surrounded by a shell 2, said housing having a plurality of housing adapted to accommodate 3.5 electrical outlets, on which electrical devices can be connected. The box of the electric power strip 1 can have various shapes, which includes for example but not limited to a parallelepiped, a disk or a triangle. The electric power strip 1 comprises means 1 1 of electrical connection connection of the electric power strip 1 to an electrical network 13. The means 1 1 of electrical connection connection to an electrical network 13 make it possible to supply electrical power to the sockets 3.5 of the power strip 1. The means 1 1 of the electrical connection connection are generally an electric cable having a socket male, able to connect to a socket connected to the electrical network 13.
La multiprise 1 électrique comporte un premier ensemble de prises, comportant au moins une prise 3 programmable, et un deuxième ensemble de prises, comportant au moins une prise 5 permanente. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, la multiprise 1 électrique comporte deux prises 3 programmables et deux prises 5 permanentes.The electric power strip 1 comprises a first set of sockets, comprising at least one programmable socket 3, and a second set of sockets, comprising at least one permanent socket. In this embodiment, the electric power strip 1 has two programmable sockets 3 and two permanent sockets.
La multiprise 1 comprend en outre des moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle intégrés à la multiprise 1. Ces moyens 7 viennent s'intercaler entre les prises 3 programmables et les moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement. Les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle permettent ainsi de définir au moins une plage horaire inactive, dans laquelle l'alimentation électrique d'un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable est coupée, bien que les prises dudit ensemble soient toujours reliées au réseau 13 électrique via les moyens 1 1.The power strip 1 further comprises manual programming time programming means 7 integrated into the power strip 1. These means 7 are interposed between the programmable sockets 3 and the means 1 1 of electrical connection connection. The manual programming time programming means 7 thus make it possible to define at least one inactive time slot, in which the power supply of a set of outlets comprising at least one programmable socket 3 is cut off, although the taps of said set are always connected to the electrical network 13 via the means 1 1.
Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les prises 3 programmables sont divisées en autant de sous-ensembles que désirés, lesdits sous-ensembles comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable. Les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle permettent alors d'assigner des plages horaires
inactives différentes à chaque sous-ensemble comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable.In one embodiment of the invention, the programmable sockets 3 are divided into as many subsets as desired, said subassemblies including at least one programmable socket 3. The means 7 programming manually controlled time can then assign time slots different inactive to each subassembly comprising at least one programmable socket 3.
De plus, il est clair que les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle permettent d'assigner plusieurs plages horaires inactives à un même ensemble ou sous-ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable. Dans un mode de réalisation simplifié de l'invention, on dispose de moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle permettant d'assigner une unique plage horaire inactive à l'ensemble des prises 3 de la multiprise 1 électrique.Moreover, it is clear that the manual programming time programming means 7 make it possible to assign several idle time slots to the same set or subset of sockets comprising at least one programmable socket 3. In a simplified embodiment of the invention, manual programming time programming means 7 are available for assigning a single idle time slot to all of the sockets 3 of the power strip 1.
Comme on peut le voir en figure 1 , les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle sont directement intégrés à la multiprise 1 électrique. De plus, un utilisateur peut, grâce aux moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle, régler la plage horaire inactive de manière simple et directe, en manipulant manuellement les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle sur la multiprise 1 électrique. Pour ce faire, les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle intégrés à la multiprise 1 électrique comprennent au moins un module 10 de réglage manuel de début d'extinction, pour le réglage de l'horaire du début d'au moins une plage horaire inactive, et au moins un module 12 de réglage manuel de fin d'extinction, pour le réglage de l'horaire de fin d'au moins une plage horaire inactive, lesdits horaires de début et de fin étant compris entre OH et 24H. Les modules 10,12 de réglage manuel de début et de fin d'extinction peuvent commander directement l'alimentation des prises 3 programmables, comme dans l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 3, le choix des horaires de début et de fin se faisant par exemple via une graduation.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les modules 10,12 de réglage manuel de début et de fin d'extinction sont reliés à un dispositif d'affichage de l'heure comme un écran LCD, ce qui permet alors de régler les heures de début et de fin d'extinction via un dispositif électronique. D'autres solutions connues de l'homme du métier sont bien sûr envisageables.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the manual programming time programming means 7 are directly integrated into the electrical socket 1. In addition, a user can, through the means 7 programming manually controlled time, set the idle time range simply and directly, manually manipulating the means 7 manual programming time control on the power strip 1. To do this, the manual programming time programming means 7 integrated into the electrical socket 1 comprise at least one manual start-off control module 10, for setting the start time of at least one time slot. inactive, and at least one end-of-extinction manual adjustment module 12, for setting the end time of at least one inactive time slot, said start and end times being between OH and 24H. The modules 10, 12 for manually adjusting the start and end of extinction can directly control the power supply of the programmable sockets 3, as in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the choice of the start and end times being made for example via a graduation. In another embodiment, the modules 10, 12 for manual setting of the beginning and end of extinction are connected to a device for displaying the time as an LCD screen, which then makes it possible to set the start times. and end of extinction via an electronic device. Other solutions known to those skilled in the art are of course conceivable.
Les prises 5 permanentes sont elles reliées aux moyens 11 de liaison électrique de raccordement sans passer par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle. Les prises 5 sont donc indépendantes des moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle.The permanent sockets 5 are connected to the means 11 of connection electrical connection without passing through the means 7 programming manually controlled time. The sockets 5 are therefore independent of the means 7 manually controlled programming time.
Par ailleurs, on interpose avantageusement au moins un interrupteur 9 dont la fonction est de s'intercaler entre un ensemble de prises, comprenant au moins une prise 3,5 de la multiprise 1 électrique, et les moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement. Cet interrupteur 9 comprend une position permettant de couper l'alimentation électrique d'un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3,5. Il est à noter que même si les prises 3 programmables ont été programmées par un utilisateur, l'interrupteur 9 permet de couper l'alimentation des dites prises 3 programmables. Il est clair que c'est également le cas pour les prises 5 permanentes, qui sont directement reliées aux moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement par l'intermédiaire de l'interrupteur 9, sans passer par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle. Tant que l'interrupteur 9 n'est pas dans la position permettant de couper l'alimentation électrique, celui-ci n'a aucun effet sur l'alimentation d'un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3,5 auquel il est relié. Il est clair que l'on peut disposer de plusieurs interrupteurs 9, permettant chacun de couper l'alimentation d'un sous-ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable ou une
prise 5 permanente de la multiprise 1 électrique. Ceci inclut bien sûr le cas où chaque prise 3,5 dispose d'un interrupteur 9 dédié. Dans la figure 1 , on a représenté un unique interrupteur 9, qui s'intercale entre l'ensemble des prises 3,5 de la multiprise 1 électrique et les moyens 1 1 de liaison électrique de raccordement. Comme on le voit sur la figure 1 , l'interrupteur 9 est directement intégré à la multiprise 1 électrique.Furthermore, it is advantageous to interpose at least one switch 9 whose function is to be interposed between a set of sockets, comprising at least one socket 3.5 of the electrical socket 1, and the means 1 1 of electrical connection connection. This switch 9 comprises a position for cutting off the power supply of a set of sockets comprising at least one plug 3.5. It should be noted that even if the programmable sockets 3 have been programmed by a user, the switch 9 makes it possible to cut off the supply of said sockets 3 programmable. It is clear that this is also the case for the permanent sockets, which are directly connected to the means 1 1 of connection electrical connection through the switch 9, without going through the means 7 of programming time control manual. As long as the switch 9 is not in the position to turn off the power supply, it has no effect on the power supply of a set of outlets comprising at least one plug 3.5 to which it is connected. It is clear that one can have several switches 9, each allowing to cut the power supply of a subset of sockets comprising at least one programmable socket 3 or permanent socket 5 of the power strip 1 electric. This includes, of course, the case where each jack 3.5 has a dedicated switch 9. In Figure 1, there is shown a single switch 9, which is intercalated between the set of sockets 3.5 of the power strip 1 and electrical connection means 1 1 1 connection. As seen in Figure 1, the switch 9 is directly integrated with the power strip 1.
On obtient donc avec l'invention un dispositif unique 1 , ayant à la fois des prises 5 permanentes, qui ne sont pas programmables, et des prises 3 programmables dont l'alimentation est programmable dans au moins une plage horaire par un utilisateur, via des moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle directement intégrés à la multiprise 1 électrique.Thus, with the invention, there is obtained a single device 1, having both permanent taps, which are not programmable, and programmable taps whose power supply is programmable in at least one time slot by a user, via 7 manual programming time means directly integrated into the power strip 1.
De manière générale, la plage horaire inactive définie via les modules 10,12 de réglage manuel de début et de fin d'extinction des moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle se répète tous les jours. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, la plage horaire inactive se répète uniquement certains jours. Un processeur de la multiprise 1 est apte à contrôler ces répétitions, et peut être programmé à l'avance, au moment de la fabrication de la multiprise 1 , et/ou être reprogrammé par un utilisateur via des moyens de contrôle de la programmation divers. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de sélectionner les journées pour lesquelles la plage horaire inactive définie par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle doit se répéter. Pour ce faire, les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle comprennent un dispositif 14 de sélecteur de journées, en communication avec le processeur de la multiprise 1 . Dans le cas où
le dispositif 14 de sélecteur de journées est inactif, la plage horaire inactive se répète tous les jours ou certains jours prédéfinis. Lorsque le dispositif 14 est utilisé, il est possible de choisir les jours pour lesquelles la plage horaire inactive doit se répéter, ou inversement, de choisir les jours pour lesquelles la plage horaire inactive doit être sans effet pour les prises 3 programmables associées. L'utilisateur peut par exemple indiquer la date des jours en question au dispositif 14 via des touches manuelles de sélection de tout type.In general, the idle time zone defined via the manual setting 10.12 modules for the start and end of extinction of the manual programming means 7 is repeated daily. In other embodiments, the inactive time slot is repeated only on certain days. A processor of the power strip 1 is able to control these repetitions, and can be programmed in advance, at the time of manufacture of the power strip 1, and / or reprogrammed by a user via miscellaneous programming control means. In one embodiment of the invention, the device according to the invention makes it possible to select the days for which the idle time slot defined by the manual programming time programming means 7 must be repeated. To do this, the manual programming time programming means 7 comprise a day selector device 14, in communication with the processor of the power strip 1. In the case where the day selector device 14 is inactive, the idle time slot is repeated every day or on certain predefined days. When the device 14 is used, it is possible to choose the days for which the idle time slot must be repeated, or conversely, to choose the days for which the idle time slot must have no effect for the associated programmable sockets 3. The user can for example indicate the date of the days in question to the device 14 via manual selection keys of any type.
Par ailleurs, il est intéressant de pouvoir disposer de moyens de désactivation de la programmation spécifiques à certains jours ou certaines périodes de l'année.Moreover, it is interesting to have means of deactivating the programming specific to certain days or certain periods of the year.
Comme on le comprendra aisément, les utilisateurs de la multiprise 1 souhaitent pouvoir désactiver la programmation des prises 3 programmables durant des jours particuliers de l'année (week-end, jours fériés, jours religieux...).As will be easily understood, the users of the power strip 1 wish to be able to disable the programming of 3 sockets programmable on particular days of the year (weekends, holidays, religious days ...).
En particulier, un certain nombre d'utilisateurs de la multiprise 1 ont un mode de vie différent durant le week-end, ce qui implique une utilisation différente des prises 3 programmables de la multiprise 1. Par exemple, un utilisateur ayant défini une plage horaire inactive entre 9H et 16H correspondant à ses horaires de travail, peut souhaiter utiliser les prises 3 programmables le week-end durant cette plage horaire, étant donné que cet utilisateur se trouve chez lui et non pas sur son lieu de travail. En particulier, il est avantageux de pouvoir désactiver pendant la période spécifique du week-end les plages horaires inactives des prises 3 programmables de manière simple et rapide, sans être contraint de modifier et d'altérer la programmation horaire définie par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle à chaque début et fin de week-end.
A cet effet, la multiprise 1 comprend des moyens 18 de désactivation du week-end permettant de désactiver pendant le week-end chaque plage horaire inactive d'un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable, définie par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle. Ces moyens 18 spécifiques au week-end sont intégrés, ou non, au dispositif 14 de sélecteur de journées.In particular, a number of users of the power strip 1 have a different way of life during the weekend, which implies a different use of the programmable outlets 3 of the power strip 1. For example, a user having defined a time slot inactive between 9 am and 4 pm corresponding to his working hours, may wish to use the 3 programmable sockets at the weekend during this time slot, since this user is at home and not at his place of work. In particular, it is advantageous to be able to deactivate during the specific period of the week-end the inactive time slots of the programmable sockets 3 in a simple and fast manner, without being forced to modify and alter the programming time defined by the programming means 7. Manually controlled schedule at the beginning and end of the weekend. For this purpose, the power strip 1 includes means 18 for disabling the weekend to disable during the weekend each inactive time slot of a set of sockets including at least one programmable socket 3, defined by the programming means 7 manually controlled schedule. These weekend-specific means 18 are integrated, or not, with the day-selector device 14.
Avantageusement, les moyens 18 permettent de désactiver pendant le week-end chaque plage horaire inactive de l'ensemble des prises 3 programmables de la multiprise 1.Advantageously, the means 18 make it possible to deactivate during the weekend each inactive time slot of the set of programmable sockets 3 of the power strip 1.
On entend par week-end une période de temps comprenant les journées de samedi et/ou de dimanche ou au moins une partie de ces journées. Avantageusement, le week-end est défini comme la période de temps allant de vendredi minuit à dimanche minuit. La commande des moyens 18 peut être manuelle, de la part d'un utilisateur, ou numérique via une télécommande ou tout autre moyen semblable.Weekend means a period of time including Saturday and / or Sunday days or at least part of those days. Advantageously, the weekend is defined as the period of time from Friday midnight to Sunday midnight. The control of the means 18 may be manual, from a user, or digital via a remote control or any other similar means.
Ces moyens 18 peuvent avantageusement être à commande manuelle et comprendre une touche de commande de type bouton poussoir, une pression de ladite touche de commande par un utilisateur entraînant la désactivation des plages horaires inactives des prises 3 programmables durant le week-end, sans que ledit utilisateur n'ait à modifier, en prévision du week-end, les plages horaires inactives définies pour les prises 3 programmables. Avantageusement, les moyens 18 comprennent un voyant 22 lumineux indiquant leur état de fonctionnement. Par exemple, lorsque le voyant 22 lumineux est allumé, ceci indique que les moyens 18 sont utilisés et que les plages horaires inactives n'auront pas d'effet sur l'alimentation des prises 3 programmables durant le week-end.
On comprend que tant que les moyens 18 n'ont pas reçu de commande de la part d'un utilisateur, comme par exemple lorsque le bouton poussoir correspondant n'est pas enfoncé, la programmation est effective, ce qui implique que l'alimentation des prises 3 programmables est coupée pendant le week-end durant les plages horaires inactives définies par l'utilisateur.These means 18 may advantageously be manually operated and comprise a push button type control key, a pressure of said control key by a user causing the deactivation of the inactive time slots programmable sockets 3 during the weekend, without said user has to change, in anticipation of the weekend, the inactive time slots defined for the 3 programmable sockets. Advantageously, the means 18 comprise a luminous indicator 22 indicating their operating state. For example, when the illuminated indicator light 22 is on, this indicates that the means 18 are in use and that the inactive time slots will not have an effect on the power supply of the programmable sockets 3 during the weekend. It is understood that until the means 18 have not received a command from a user, such as when the corresponding push button is not pressed, the programming is effective, which implies that the power of the Programmable Outlets 3 is switched off during the weekend during user-defined idle time periods.
Inversement, tant que les moyens 18 sont actifs, comme par exemple lorsque le bouton poussoir correspondant est enfoncé, l'alimentation des prises 3 programmables n'est pas coupée pendant le week-end durant les plages horaires inactives. Ces moyens 18 sont donc très astucieux et simples d'utilisation, et ce pour tout type d'utilisateur.Conversely, as long as the means 18 are active, for example when the corresponding pushbutton is depressed, the supply of the programmable sockets 3 is not cut during the weekend during the idle time slots. These means 18 are very clever and easy to use, and for all types of users.
Il est bien sûr possible de définir, de manière symétrique à ce qui vient d'être décrit, des moyens 29 d'activation de la programmation du week-end, dans le cas où le processeur de la multiprise 1 est programmé par défaut pour que la plage horaire inactive définie par les moyens 7 de programmation à commande manuelle ne se répète pas le week-end. Les moyens 29 peuvent être du même type que les moyens 18 (bouton poussoir, interrupteur, ou autre).It is of course possible to define, symmetrically to what has just been described, means 29 for activating the programming of the weekend, in the case where the processor of the power strip 1 is programmed by default so that the inactive time slot defined by the means 7 of manual programming does not repeat the weekend. The means 29 may be of the same type as the means 18 (push button, switch, or other).
On comprend que les moyens 29 d'activation ont un fonctionnement inverse à ce qui vient d'être décrit pour les moyens 18 de désactivation : tant que les moyens 29 d'activation ne sont pas actifs, le processeur de la multiprise 1 est programmé pour que la plage horaire inactive définie par les moyens 7 de programmation à commande manuelle ne se répète pas le week-end. Dès que les moyens 29 sont actifs, la plage horaire inactive se répète le week- end. On notera que la solution à moyens 18 de désactivation est la plus avantageuse et la plus facile d'utilisation pour un utilisateur.
Les moyens 18,29 de désactivation ou d'activation de la programmation qui viennent d'être décrits pour la période du week- end peuvent avantageusement être déclinés à d'autres périodes, et en particulier sous la forme de moyens 25 de désactivation ou de moyens 30 d'activation de la programmation de jours spécifiques comme des jours fériés et/ou des jours religieux ou tout autre jour pertinent. Il s'agit par exemple d'un bouton poussoir « jour férié », et/ou « jour religieux ». Les moyens 25,30 fonctionnent sur le même principe que les moyens 18,29 et ne seront pas décrits à nouveau.It will be understood that the activation means 29 have a reverse function to what has just been described for the deactivation means 18: as long as the activation means 29 are not active, the processor of the power strip 1 is programmed to that the inactive time slot defined by the means 7 manually controlled programming is not repeated on weekends. As soon as the means 29 are active, the idle time slot is repeated at the weekend. It should be noted that the solution with means 18 for deactivation is the most advantageous and the easiest to use for a user. The means 18, 29 for disabling or activating the programming which have just been described for the weekend period can advantageously be provided at other periods, and in particular in the form of means for deactivating or deactivating the program. means for activating the scheduling of specific days such as holidays and / or religious days or any other relevant day. This is for example a push button "holiday" and / or "religious day". The means 25,30 operate on the same principle as the means 18,29 and will not be described again.
Ainsi, il est possible de disposer de moyens permettant de s'affranchir de la programmation pour certains jours de l'année, et ce de manière rapide et efficace. En général, les jours spécifiques dépendent du pays et/ou de la zone géographique considérés. Avantageusement, le processeur de la multiprise est apte à programmer automatiquement les jours spécifiques selon le pays ou la zone d'utilisation de la multiprise 1 (prise en compte des fuseaux horaires, heures d'été ou d'hiver...).Thus, it is possible to have means to overcome the programming for certain days of the year, and quickly and efficiently. In general, the specific days depend on the country and / or geographical area considered. Advantageously, the processor of the power strip is able to automatically program the specific days according to the country or the area of use of the power strip 1 (taking into account the time zones, summer or winter hours ...).
D'autre part, il est avantageux pour certaines utilisations, comme par exemple dans les milieux professionnels, que les prises 3 programmables ne soient pas alimentées spécifiquement durant le week-end et les jours fériés, pour des raisons d'économie d'énergie ou de sécurité. En effet, ces jours étant chômés, il est inutile de consommer de l'électricité, comme par exemple l'électricité consommée par les appareils en veille.On the other hand, it is advantageous for certain uses, such as in professional circles, that the programmable sockets 3 are not powered specifically during the weekend and holidays, for reasons of energy saving or of security. Indeed, these days are not working, it is useless to consume electricity, as for example the electricity consumed by appliances on standby.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, le processeur de la multiprise 1 est programmé pour assigner par défaut une plage horaire inactive tous les week-ends et jours fériés à un ensemble de prises comprenant
au moins une prise 3 programmable. Avantageusement, il s'agit de l'ensemble des prises 3 programmables de la multiprise 1. Il s'agit donc d'une programmation interne à la multiprise 1 , qui vient s'ajouter aux programmations de plages horaire inactives mises en œuvre par l'utilisateur via les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle. Cette programmation interne correspond à l'assignation par défaut d'une plage horaire inactive aux prises programmables sur une ou plusieurs journées. Comme énoncé précédemment, cette programmation interne correspond avantageusement à l'assignation par défaut d'une plage horaire inactive aux prises 3 programmables durant le week-end et les jours fériés, mais il peut s'agir d'autres périodes de temps selon les besoins. Pour permettre aux utilisateurs de désactiver cette programmation interne par défaut, la multiprise 1 comprend des moyens 32 de désactivation la programmation interne, permettant de désactiver la programmation interne de la multiprise 1 , correspondant à des plages horaires inactives assignées par défaut à des prises 3 programmables par l'intermédiaire du processeur de la multiprise 1. Les moyens 32 peuvent être du type bouton poussoir ou tout moyen connu, associé ou non à des voyants lumineux indiquant l'état de fonctionnement.In this embodiment, the processor of the power strip 1 is programmed to assign by default an inactive time slot every weekends and holidays to a set of outlets comprising at least one programmable socket 3. Advantageously, this is the set of 3 programmable sockets of the power strip 1. It is therefore an internal programming to the power strip 1, which is added to the programming of inactive time slots implemented by the the user via the manual programming means 7. This internal programming corresponds to the default assignment of an inactive time slot to programmable sockets over one or more days. As stated above, this internal programming advantageously corresponds to the default assignment of an inactive time slot to the programmable sockets 3 during the weekend and holidays, but it may be other periods of time depending on the needs. . To enable users to disable this internal default programming, the power strip 1 includes means 32 for disabling the internal programming, to disable the internal programming of the power strip 1, corresponding to inactive time slots assigned by default to 3 programmable sockets through the processor of the power strip 1. The means 32 may be of the push button type or any known means, associated or not with indicator lights indicating the operating status.
Par ailleurs, un utilisateur de la multiprise 1 peut souhaiter désactiver à tout instant la programmation des prises 3 programmables, afin de bénéficier de l'alimentation électrique d'une ou plusieurs de ces prises 3 programmables, bien que cet instant corresponde à une plage horaire inactive pour ces prises 3.Furthermore, a user of the power strip 1 may wish to deactivate at any time the programming of programmable sockets 3, in order to benefit from the power supply of one or more of these sockets 3 programmable, although this moment corresponds to a time slot inactive for these shots 3.
Il peut s'agir d'un cas où l'utilisateur a un besoin immédiat de prises supplémentaires à un instant donné.
A cet effet, la multiprise 1 électrique comprend au moins un interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation, permettant de désactiver chaque plage horaire inactive d'un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable, à la manière d'un interrupteur « marche-arrêt ». Il permet de transformer de manière immédiate les prises 3 programmables en prises permanentes, puisque la programmation de ces prises 3 est désactivée. L'interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation est avantageusement apte à désactiver l'ensemble des plages horaires inactives de toutes les prises 3 programmables de la multiprise 1. Egalement, il est possible d'associer un interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation uniquement à un sous-ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3 programmable. Alternativement, la multiprise comprend plusieurs interrupteurs, permettant d'associer un interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation différent à chaque sous-ensemble de prises 3 programmables.This may be a case where the user has an immediate need for additional plugs at a given time. For this purpose, the power strip 1 comprises at least one switch 20 for interrupting the programming, for deactivating each inactive time slot of a set of sockets comprising at least one programmable socket 3, in the manner of a "power" switch. -stopping ". It makes it possible to immediately transform the programmable sockets 3 into permanent sockets, since the programming of these sockets 3 is deactivated. The switch 20 of the programming cutoff is advantageously able to deactivate all the inactive time slots of all the programmable sockets 3 of the power strip 1. Also, it is possible to associate a switch 20 of the programming cutoff only with a subset of sockets including at least one programmable socket 3. Alternatively, the power strip comprises a plurality of switches, making it possible to associate a different programming cutoff switch 20 with each subset of programmable sockets 3.
L'interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation peut être commandé manuellement, directement par un utilisateur, ou numériquement via une télécommande ou tout autre moyen semblable.The programming cut-off switch 20 can be controlled manually, directly by a user, or digitally via a remote control or any other similar means.
L'interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation est avantageusement à commande manuelle et comprend une touche de commande de type bouton poussoir, une pression de ladite touche de commande par un utilisateur entraînant la désactivation immédiate des plages horaires inactives des prises 3 programmables, sans que ledit utilisateur n'ait à modifier les plages horaires inactives définies pour les prises 3 programmables. Avantageusement, l'interrupteur 20 de coupure de la programmation
comprend un voyant 23 lumineux indiquant son état de fonctionnement.The switch 20 of the programming cutoff is advantageously manually operated and comprises a push button type control key, a pressing of said control key by a user causing the immediate deactivation of the inactive time slots of the programmable sockets 3, without said user does not have to change the inactive time slots defined for the programmable sockets 3. Advantageously, the switch 20 of the programming cutoff comprises a light 23 indicating its operating status.
Par ailleurs, on peut intégrer de manière avantageuse à la multiprise 1 au moins un dispositif 8 lumineux pour indiquer qu'au moins un ensemble de prises comprenant au moins une prise 3,5 est alimenté. Dans le cas des prises 5 permanentes, cela signifie que l'interrupteur 9 n'est pas dans la position permettant de couper l'alimentation de ces prises 5 permanentes. Dans le cas des prises 3 programmables, cela signifie, outre le fait que l'interrupteur 9 n'est pas dans la position permettant de couper l'alimentation des dites prises 3 programmables, que les prises 3 programmables ne sont pas dans une plage horaire inactive telle que programmée par les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la multiprise 1 électrique comprend un dispositif 8 lumineux différent pour chaque sous- ensemble de prises de la multiprise 1 électrique comprenant au moins une prise 3,5, ce qui inclut le cas où chaque prise 3,5 de la multiprise 1 électrique se voit assigner son propre dispositif 8 lumineux. Il est bien sur possible de n'assigner des dispositifs 8 lumineux qu'à un ou plusieurs sous-ensembles de prises comprenant uniquement des prises 3 programmables, ce qui inclut le cas où chaque prise 3 programmable se voit assigner son propre dispositif 8 lumineux. On a représenté en figure 1 et 2 un unique dispositif 8 lumineux associé aux deux prises 3 programmables de la multiprise 1 électrique.Furthermore, it is advantageous to integrate at the power strip 1 at least one luminous device 8 to indicate that at least one set of sockets comprising at least one socket 3.5 is powered. In the case of permanent taps, this means that the switch 9 is not in the position to cut power to these permanent taps. In the case of programmable sockets 3, this means, in addition to the fact that the switch 9 is not in the position to cut off the supply of said programmable sockets 3, that the sockets 3 programmable are not in a time slot inactive as programmed by the means 7 manual programming time. In one embodiment of the invention, the electric power strip 1 comprises a different luminous device 8 for each subset of sockets of the power strip 1 comprising at least one socket 3.5, which includes the case where each socket 3 , 5 of the power strip 1 is assigned its own device 8 bright. It is of course possible to assign luminous devices only to one or more subsets of outlets comprising only programmable outlets, which includes the case where each programmable receptacle is assigned its own luminous device. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a single luminous device 8 associated with the two programmable sockets 3 of the power strip 1.
Dans l'invention on peut avantageusement utiliser un système 20 de détrompage, permettant de différencier les prises 3 programmables
des prises 5 permanentes. Le système 20 de détrompage peut inclure un système visuel, comme une couleur différente pour chaque type de prise, ou une dénivellation entre les prises 3 programmables et les prises 5 permanentes, ou tout autre système de détrompage connu de l'homme du métier.In the invention, it is advantageous to use a coding system 20 which makes it possible to differentiate the programmable sockets 3 permanent taps. The keying system may include a visual system, such as a different color for each type of socket, or a difference in level between the programmable sockets and the permanent sockets, or any other keying system known to those skilled in the art.
Par ailleurs, la matière de la coque 2 de la multiprise 1 électrique peut être une matière plastique d'origine fossile, comme par exemple les thermoplastiques (ex : PVC) ou les thermodurcissables (ex : phénoplastes).Furthermore, the material of the shell 2 of the electrical socket 1 may be a plastic material of fossil origin, such as thermoplastics (eg PVC) or thermosets (eg phenoplasts).
Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la matière de la coque 2 est avantageusement une matière plastique biodégradable. Les matières plastiques biodégradables incluent notamment les polymères d'acide lactique, ou les polymères végétaux (ex : polymères à base d'amidon de maïs, de pomme de terre, d'éthanol de canne à sucre ou de betterave), ou les polymères bactériens comme les polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA).In one embodiment of the invention, the material of the shell 2 is preferably a biodegradable plastic material. Biodegradable plastics include lactic acid polymers, or plant polymers (eg, starch-based polymers of corn, potato, sugar cane or beet ethanol), or bacterial polymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).
En figure 3, on a représenté un mode de réalisation des moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle, comportant un module 10 de réglage manuel de début d'extinction et un module 12 de réglage manuel de fin d'extinction. Le module 10 de réglage manuel de début d'extinction comprend au moins une molette 15 de début, tandis que le module 12 de réglage manuel de fin d'extinction comprend au moins une molette 17 de fin. La molette 15 de début permet de régler l'horaire de début d'une plage horaire inactive, tandis que la molette 17 de fin permet de régler l'horaire de fin de ladite plage horaire inactive.In Figure 3, there is shown an embodiment of the manual programming time programming means 7, comprising a 10 manual start of extinguishing module and a manual 12 end of extinction control module. The manual extinction start control module 10 comprises at least one start wheel 15, while the manual end of extinction control module 12 comprises at least one end wheel 17. The start wheel 15 makes it possible to set the start time of an inactive time slot, while the end dial 17 makes it possible to set the end time of said idle time slot.
Chaque molette 15,17 de début et de fin est avantageusement entourée par un cadran 19 horaire comprenant la plage horaire d'une
journée de vingt-quatre heures, de OH à 24H, comme dans une montre. Le réglage du début d'une plage horaire inactive se fait en faisant pivoter la molette 15 jusqu'à ce que la molette pointe sur l'horaire de début désiré tel qu'indiqué sur le cadran 19 horaire. Le réglage de fin d'une plage horaire inactive se fait en faisant pivoter la molette 17 de fin jusqu'à ce que la molette 17 de fin pointe sur l'horaire de fin désiré tel qu'indiqué sur le cadran 19 horaire. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les molettes 15,17 de début et de fin permettent de régler un horaire début et de fin de plage horaire inactive compris entre OH et 12H. On intègre alors avantageusement à la multiprise 1 électrique un ou plusieurs boutons AM/PM (acronymes de « Ante Meridiem » et « Post Meridiem »), permettant d'indiquer si l'horaire de début et/ou de fin est le matin (de minuit à midi), ou l'après-midi (de midi à minuit). Le réglage se fait donc de manière très simple, car chacun sait régler une montre.Each start and end wheel 15, 17 is advantageously surrounded by a time dial comprising the time slot of a twenty-four hour day, from OH to 24H, as in a watch. Setting the start of an inactive time range is done by rotating the wheel 15 until the wheel points to the desired start time as indicated on the time dial. The end setting of an inactive time slot is made by rotating the end dial 17 until the end dial 17 points to the desired end time as indicated on the time dial. In one embodiment of the invention, the start and end wheels 15, 17 make it possible to set a start and end time of an inactive time range between OH and 12H. Advantageously, the power strip 1 or more AM / PM buttons (acronyms of "Ante Meridiem" and "Post Meridiem"), to indicate whether the start and / or end time is in the morning (from midnight to noon), or in the afternoon (noon to midnight). The adjustment is therefore very simple, because everyone can set a watch.
Alternativement, et comme illustré en figure 4, les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle comprennent une touche 27 de programmation pour chaque tranche 28 d'heure (0-1 H, 1 -2H1....23-24H), ladite touche 27 permettant de définir une plage horaire inactive pour ladite tranche 28 d'heure. Une journée de 24 heures est ainsi divisée en vingt-quatre tranches 28 d'heure, chaque tranche 28 étant associée à une touche 27. Il est clair que pour certains pays, il est possible de définir douze tranches 28 d'heure (0-1 H, 1 -2H, ....1 1 -12H) en association à un ou plusieurs boutons AM/PM (acronymes de « Ante Meridiem » et « Post Meridiem »).Alternatively, and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the manual programming time programming means 7 comprise a programming key 27 for each hour slot (0-1H, 1 -2H 1 .... 23-24H), said key 27 for defining an idle time slot for said slot 28 of time. A 24-hour day is thus divided into twenty-four hour slots, each slot 28 being associated with a key 27. It is clear that for some countries it is possible to define twelve time slots (0- 1 H, 1 -2H, .... 1 1 -12H) in combination with one or more AM / PM buttons (acronyms for "Ante Meridiem" and "Post Meridiem").
Chaque touche 27 de programmation est avantageusement un bouton poussoir, une pression sur ladite touche 27 définissant une
plage inactive pour la tranche 28 d'heure associée à ladite touche 27.Each programming key 27 is advantageously a push button, a pressure on said key 27 defining a inactive range for the time slot 28 associated with said key 27.
De par son caractère visuel et son découpage en tranches d'une heure, cette solution est simple et facile à utiliser, et ce quelque soit l'utilisateur (personnes âgées, enfants...). Cette solution se différencie nettement de certaines solutions de l'art antérieur utilisant un découpage en quarts d'heure, ce découpage étant peu utile, trop précis, et complexe à utiliser pour certains utilisateurs.Because of its visual character and its slicing of an hour, this solution is simple and easy to use, whatever the user (elderly, children ...). This solution differs clearly from some solutions of the prior art using a quarter-hour division, this cutting being of little use, too precise, and complex to use for some users.
L'invention s'applique avantageusement dans le cadre de la vie courante et en particulier dans l'optique d'une économie de l'électricité utilisée de manière inutile par les appareils en veille. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut brancher les appareils qui ne doivent jamais s'éteindre sur les prises 5 permanentes, comme par exemple un réfrigérateur. L'utilisateur branche les autres appareils, comme son téléviseur, sur les prises 3 programmables, qu'il aura pris soin de programmer via les moyens 7 de programmation horaire à commande manuelle pour que les prises 3 programmables ne soient plus alimentées durant la nuit, afin d'économiser l'énergie des appareils en veille. En effet, les appareils de type téléviseur ne sont en général pas utilisés la nuit et utilisent de l'électricité en veille de manière inutile.The invention applies advantageously in the context of everyday life and in particular in the context of an economy of electricity used in a useless way by devices in standby. Thus, a user can connect devices that should never be turned off on permanent outlets, such as a refrigerator. The user connects the other devices, such as his television, to the programmable sockets 3, which he has taken care to program via the means 7 manually programmed time programming so that the programmable sockets 3 are no longer powered during the night, in order to save the energy of the devices in standby. In fact, television-type devices are generally not used at night and use standby electricity unnecessarily.
L'invention s'applique de manière générale à tous les domaines nécessitant une programmation sélective.
The invention applies generally to all areas requiring selective programming.
