Abstract
Description
図1A,図1Bは、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置1の概略図(背面図及び平面図)である。図1Bに示すように、電力配線装置1は、配線部材10と、外部回路要素20とを備えている。配線部材10は、図1A,図1Bに示すように板状且つ平面形状に形成されており、複数の第1コネクタ12を備えている。電力配線装置1は、少なくともいずれかの外部回路要素20内に少なくとも1つの環境発電要素を含む。外部回路要素20は板状に形成され、配線部材10が備える複数の第1コネクタ12のうちの任意の第1コネクタ12と機械的かつ電気的に着脱可能な第2コネクタ21を備えている。複数の第1コネクタ12は、導電部11Bにより互いに電気的に接続されており、複数の第1コネクタ12に装着された外部回路要素20同士は、導電部11Bを通じて、互いに電気的に接続されている。図1A,図1Bでは、電力配線装置1の各構成の形状を説明の便宜のために規定しており、各構成の形状はこれらの形状には限定されない。このことは、以下の各図面においても同様である。
図4A,図4Bは、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置2の概略図(背面図及び平面図)である。電力配線装置2は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、辺縁部保持部材14Bの構成が、電力配線装置1の辺縁部保持部材14Aと異なる他は、電力配線装置1の構成と近似している。従って、ここでは、辺縁部保持部材14Bの構成に絞って詳説する。また、図4A,図4Bでは、1つの第1コネクタ12及び辺縁部保持部材14Bのみが描かれているが、これは、電力配線装置1との差異点である辺縁部保持部材14Bの構成を詳説するためのものであり、電力配線装置2についても、電力配線装置1と同様に複数の第1コネクタ12及び辺縁部保持部材14Bを有している点に留意されたい。これは、以下に示す電力配線装置3~8についても同様である。
図5A,図5Bは、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置3の概略図(背面図及び平面図)である。電力配線装置3は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、辺縁部保持部材14Cの構成が、電力配線装置1の辺縁部保持部材14Aと異なる他は、電力配線装置1の構成と近似している。従って、ここでは、辺縁部保持部材14Cの構成に絞って詳説する。
図6A,図6Bは、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置4の概略図(背面図及び平面図)である。電力配線装置4は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、辺縁部保持部材14Dの構成が、電力配線装置1の辺縁部保持部材14Aと異なる他は、電力配線装置1と顕著な差異が無い。従って、ここでは、辺縁部保持部材14Dの構成に絞って詳説する。
図7は、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置5の概略図(平面図)である。電力配線装置5は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、辺縁部保持部材14Eの構成が、電力配線装置1の辺縁部保持部材14Aと異なる他は、電力配線装置1の構成と近似している。従って、ここでは、辺縁部保持部材14Eの構成に絞って詳説する。
図8は、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置6の概略図である。電力配線装置6は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、配線部材10が2つの配線部材ユニット10Aを含み、各配線部材ユニット10Aが第4コネクタ18により機械的かつ電気的に着脱可能に構成されている他は、電力配線装置1の構成と近似している。従って、ここでは、電力配線装置1との差異点に絞って詳説する。
図9は、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置7の概略図である。電力配線装置7は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、配線部材10Bが3つの第1コネクタ12を有すると共に、外部回路要素20が配置されない折り曲げ位置10b1において配線部材10Bが折り曲げ可能に構成されている。その他の構成については、電力配線装置1の構成と近似している。
図10は、本開示の一実施形態に係る電力配線装置8の概略図(斜視図)である。電力配線装置8は、図1A,図1Bに示した電力配線装置1の変形例であり、配線部材10Cの上面には、図10の左右方向に4個、上下方向に3個の第1コネクタ12がマトリックス状に配置され、合計12個の第1コネクタ12が配置されている。左右方向に隣接する2つの第1コネクタ12の間の位置であって外部回路要素20が配置されない面内位置において、図10の上下方向に延びる折り曲げ位置10b2が画定されている。図10の左右方向に隣接する2つの第1コネクタ12は、一方が他方を配線部材10Cの面方向に垂直な中心軸線周りに180度回転させた関係にある。従って、利用者が、配線部材10Cを折り曲げ位置10b2において山折りと谷折りが交互になるように折り曲げると、対向する第1コネクタ12は、図10の上下方向に概ね外部回路要素20の上下方向長さだけ離隔し、第1コネクタ12同士が完全に重なることがない。すなわち、折り曲げ位置10b2に隣接する2つの第1コネクタ12は、当該折り曲げ位置10b2で配線部材10Cを折り曲げた時に面方向に重ならない面内位置に配置されている。従って、電力配線装置8を折り畳んだときの重なり方向の厚みを低減することができるため、電力配線装置8の携帯性を向上させることができる。
2次元での折り曲げをできるようにしてもよいことは言うまでもない。
