In Patent Document 1, the connection pole has a device attachment portion, and the device attached to the device attachment portion can be arbitrarily changed in each connection pole.

However, in Patent Document 1, the device is externally attached to the body of the connection pole. In Patent Literature 1, when various devices are provided on the pole, the total number of wires required for each device to execute processing increases and becomes complicated.

In view of the circumstances described above, the present disclosure aims to provide a pole and a pole unit capable of simplifying the wiring of devices provided in the pole.

It is a front view which shows an example of the multifunctional pole which concerns on a modification.

An outline of the present disclosure will be described prior to description of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
1 is a schematic front view of a pole according to the present disclosure; FIG. A pole 1 has a plurality of pole units 2 connected in a row. That is, the pole 1 is configured as one pole by a plurality of pole units 2 connected in a row. Each pole unit 2 includes a shared line 3 (first shared line) connected to a shared line 3 (second shared line) passing through another pole unit 2, and a pole unit through which the first shared line passes. a branching device 4 for branching the first shared line to the equipment 9 housed within 2; Each pole unit 2 has a space inside, and the device 9 is accommodated in this space (internal space). In other words, the pole 1 itself is used as a housing for housing the device 9 . In this internal space, a shared line 3 extends from one end of the pole unit 2 to the other end. Furthermore, the branching device 4 is also accommodated in this internal space. The shared line 3 is wiring required for each device 9 to perform processing. Specifically, for example, the shared line 3 is wiring for transmitting power or signals. The signal is, for example, an electrical signal, but may be another type of signal such as an optical signal. With such an arrangement, power or signal transmission for equipment 9 is provided through a series of utility lines 3 and branching units 4 . Note that the shared line 3 is connected to a main device (for example, a power supply device or a network device) provided in one of the series of pole units 2 (for example, the lowest pole unit 2). It is connected.

As described above, the pole 1 can accommodate equipment in each of the plurality of pole units 2 that are connected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the external appearance from becoming complicated compared to the case where a plurality of external devices are attached to the pole. By the way, for example, when a device in a pole unit and a device such as a main device are directly connected with a cable, the following problems may arise. As an example, consider the case where the main device is at the bottom of the pole. In this case, the cables of all the pole units above the pole unit pass through the lower pole unit. For this reason, the lower the pole unit, the more cables need to be routed inside. Therefore, if the pole has a large number of devices, the number of cables becomes enormous, and there is a possibility that all the cables cannot be accommodated in the pole. Thus, when the number of devices increases, the total number of wires increases and the wiring becomes complicated. In addition, if the cables that cannot be accommodated are exposed outside the pole, the appearance of the pole becomes complicated.

On the other hand, according to the configuration described above, the cable directly connected to the device 9 only needs to extend to the branching device 4 existing within the same pole unit 2 as the device 9 . Therefore, even if the number of connected pole units 2 increases and the total number of devices 9 included in the pole 1 increases, the number of cables to be accommodated in each pole unit 2 is prevented from becoming enormous. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the wiring of the devices provided on the pole. Further, according to the above-described configuration, even if the total number of devices provided on the pole increases, the wiring can be hidden inside the pole, so that the external appearance can be suppressed from being complicated.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following descriptions and drawings are appropriately omitted and simplified for clarity of explanation. Also, in each drawing, the same elements and similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted as necessary.

Hereinafter, these units will be referred to as units 120 when these units are referred to without particular distinction. 4 shows a state in which the door 124 provided on the unit 120 is open, and FIG. 5 shows a state in which the door 124 provided on the unit 120 is closed. The unit 120 has a tubular body 123 . The body 123 is made of a material such as metal. The fuselage 123 can be made of a variety of materials depending on the required strength of the unit and the allowable weight of the unit.

A user such as an administrator can store the device 90 in the housing 150 and take out the device 90 from the housing 150 by, for example, opening the door 124 . The cross-sectional shape of the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the unit 120 is not particularly limited, but may be an ellipse or an oval. If the cross-sectional shape is elliptical or oval, the equipment can be accommodated more efficiently than if the cross-sectional shape is circular. Moreover, the impression of appearance can be improved. The length of each unit (the length in the longitudinal direction of the pole) may be different or the same.

The unit 120 has a first connecting portion 121 at one end in the longitudinal direction and a second connecting portion 122 at the other end in the longitudinal direction.

Each unit has a first connection portion 121 and a second connection portion 122, and the arrangement order of the units in the multifunctional pole 100 can be arbitrarily changed. Also, in the multifunctional pole 100 , the lowest unit may have the second connection portion 122 and may not have the first connection portion 121 . In this way, one pole is configured by a plurality of units 120 connected in a row.

In this embodiment, the pole of the multifunctional pole 100 is formed by appropriately combining a plurality of units 101 to 109 .

Next, the wiring structure in the unit 120 will be described. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the wiring structure in the unit 120. As shown in FIG. Each unit 120 has a shared power line 171 and a shared communication line 172 . The shared power line 171 and the shared communication line 172 correspond to the shared line 3 shown in FIG. The shared power line 171 is a wiring for transmitting electric power, and the shared communication line 172 is a wiring for transmitting a signal.

The shared communication line 172 extends from one end to the other end of the unit 120 in the internal space of the unit 120 and is connected to the connector 173b. The connectors 173b are terminals provided at both ends of the unit 120, that is, at the ends connected to other units 120. As shown in FIG. In addition, when the other unit 120 is connected only to one of both ends like the unit 120 at the bottom, the connector 173b may be provided only at the end to which the other unit 120 is connected. .

As described above, the multifunctional pole 100 is configured by connecting any number of units 120. Therefore, it is possible to add, replace, or remove the unit 120 to be connected. Therefore, the

connectors

173a and 173b of the unit 120 are preferably standardized. In this embodiment, the shape of the connector 173a is standardized, and each unit 120 has the connector 173a configured by terminals of a uniform shape. In addition, the installation position of the connector 173a in the unit 120 is standardized, and the connector 173a (terminal) is arranged at the same position in each unit 120. FIG. Specifically, the installation position of the connector 173a is standardized so that the position of the connector 173a of one unit 120 and the position of the connector 173a of the other unit correspond to each other. Thereby, the shared power line 171 of the adjacent unit 120 can be easily connected.

Similarly, in the present embodiment, the shape of the connector 173b is standardized, and each unit 120 has a connector 173b configured with terminals of a uniform shape.

Specifically, the installation position of the connector 173b is standardized so that the position of the connector 173b of one unit 120 and the position of the connector 173b of the other connected unit 120 correspond to each other. Thereby, the shared communication line 172 of the adjacent unit 120 can be easily connected.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the unit 120 has a standardized terminal in both shape and installation position as a terminal for connecting a shared line. It may be standardized. Neither the shape nor the installation position may be standardized, although there is a risk that the advantage of ease of connection may not be obtained.

The wiring management device 160 is housed in the internal space of the unit 120 and is a device for managing the connection between the shared line and the device 90 housed in the housing 150 inside the unit 120 .

The wiring management device 160 also has a switch 163 as a device related to the shared communication line 172 .

The distribution board 161 corresponds to the branching device 4 in FIG. 1 and is a control circuit that branches the shared power line 171 to the device 90 housed in the housing 150 . The distribution board 161 relays power transmission between the shared power line 171 and a connector 166a described later. A power supply common line 171 and a power supply branch line 164 connected to a connector 166 a are connected to the distribution board 161 . to the devices 90 in the unit 120 where the . For example, the distribution board 161 has a switch for blocking power transmission to each connector 166a, and by operating this switch, power transmission to any connector 166a is blocked or permitted. be. The operation of the switches of the distribution board 161 may be performed according to instructions sent from a device external to the multifunction pole 100 . Note that the distribution board 161 may have a safety circuit such as an earth leakage breaker. Thus, in this embodiment, power transmission for the device 90 is performed via a series of shared power lines 171 and the distribution board 161 .

Also, the power meter 162 measures the amount of power branched by the distribution board 161 . That is, watt-hour meter 162 measures the amount of power consumed by device 90 in unit 120 . The electricity meter 162 may be a smart meter. That is, electricity meter 162 may automatically transmit measurements to devices external to multifunction pole 100 . Also, the power meter 162 may measure the amount of power consumed for each device 90 . Since the unit 120 has the watt-hour meter 162 in this way, even when different users use each unit 120, the amount of power used by each user can be specified. Therefore, for example, it is possible to easily specify the electricity rate to be charged to each user.

Next, the switch 163, which is a device related to the shared communication line 172, will be described. The switch 163 corresponds to the branching device 4 in FIG. 1 and is a control circuit that branches the shared communication line 172 to the device 90 housed in the housing 150 . The switch 163 relays signal transmission for communication between the shared communication line 172 and a connector 166b described later. The switch 163 is connected to the communication shared line 172 and the communication branch line 165 connected to the connector 166b. For example, the switch 163 is an L2 switch (Layer 2 switch), but may be another device such as a router. The operation of switch 163 may be performed according to instructions sent from a device external to multifunction pole 100 . Thus, in this embodiment, transmission of signals for device 90 occurs through a series of shared communication lines 172 and switches 163 .

Also, in the present embodiment, the devices accommodated in the housing 150 can be added, replaced, removed, and the like. Therefore, it is preferable that the devices housed in the housing 150 have a standardized shape. That is, in the present embodiment, housing 150 accommodates device 90 having a standardized shape. As a result, it is possible to easily add or replace the devices housed in the housing 150 . FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing attachment of the device 90 to the housing 150. As shown in FIG. Although FIG. 7 shows a configuration example for accommodating one device 90, the housing 150 has the configuration shown in FIG. may be accommodated.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the installation position of the connector 166a of the housing 150 (the position on the back surface of the accommodation space) is also standardized, and accordingly, the installation position of the connector 91a of the device 90 (the above-mentioned predetermined plane) is standardized. ) are also standardized. Similarly, the installation position of the connector 166b of the housing 150 (the position on the back side of the housing space) is also standardized, and accordingly, the installation position of the connector 91b of the device 90 (the position on the predetermined plane) is also standardized. has been made Therefore, in the present embodiment, just by inserting the device 90 into the housing 150, the connectors are fitted to complete the connection between the connector 166a and the connector 91a and the connection between the connector 166b and the connector 91b. Therefore, the device 90 can be introduced easily. Thus, the housing 150 accommodates the device 90 in which the terminal shape and installation position are standardized. Only either the shape or the installation position may be standardized, or only one of the connector used for connecting the shared power line 171 and the connector used for connecting the shared communication line 172 may be standardized. may have been Neither the shape nor the installation position may be standardized, although there is a risk that the advantage of ease of connection may not be obtained. In addition, the housing 150 may have a lid with a lock that covers the device 90 inserted into the housing 150 for waterproofing, dustproofing, or crime prevention. The housing 150 may also have a latch to prevent the device 90 from falling.

The embodiment has been described above. As described above, the multi-function pole 100 can accommodate equipment in each of the multiple units 120 that are connected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the external appearance from becoming complicated compared to the case where a plurality of external devices are attached to the pole. The unit 120 has shared lines such as a shared power line 171 and a shared communication line 172 , and a wiring management device 160 that branches the shared lines to the devices 90 accommodated in the unit 120 . Therefore, the cables (the power supply branch line 164 and the communication branch line 165 ) connected to the device 9 need only extend to the wiring management device 160 existing in the same unit 120 as the device 90 . A shared line is used for transmission over a plurality of units 120 . Therefore, even if the number of connected units 120 increases and the total number of devices 90 included in the multifunctional pole 100 increases, the number of cables to be accommodated in each unit 120 is prevented from becoming enormous. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the wiring of the devices provided on the pole. Further, according to the present embodiment, even if the total number of devices provided on the pole increases, the wiring can be hidden inside the pole, so that the external appearance can be suppressed from being complicated. Furthermore, since wiring is provided inside each unit 120, it becomes difficult to touch the wiring from the outside, so security is improved. In addition, by providing the wiring inside the unit 120, dust resistance and water resistance are ensured.

In the above-described embodiment, the multifunctional pole 100 to which the traffic signal light device 192 is attached from the outside is exemplified, but the multifunctional pole 100 does not have to be externally attached with any equipment or the like. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the multifunctional pole 100 may be attached with an arbitrary device such as an illumination lamp 195 together with or instead of the traffic signal light device 192 from the outside. good.
