Description

本発明は、電気機器に電力及び信号を供給する配線ダクトに接続される配線ダクト接続部材に関し、特に、弱電仕様の電気機器に電力及び信号を供給する小型の配線ダクトに接続される配線ダクト接続部材に関する。   The present invention relates to a wiring duct connecting member that is connected to a wiring duct that supplies power and signals to electrical equipment, and more particularly to a wiring duct connection that is connected to a small wiring duct that supplies power and signals to electrical equipment of low power specifications. It relates to members.

従来より、工場や店舗や事務所の屋内において、天井に配線ダクトを敷設した配線ダクトシステムを設けることが知られている。この配線ダクトシステムでは、様々な照明器具や他の電気器具の電源を任意の位置から取り出すことができ、また照明器具や電気機器のプラグの取り付けや取り外しも容易となる。   Conventionally, it is known to provide a wiring duct system in which a wiring duct is laid on a ceiling in a factory, a store, or an office. In this wiring duct system, the power source of various lighting fixtures and other electric appliances can be taken out from an arbitrary position, and the attachment and detachment of the plugs of the lighting fixtures and electric appliances can be easily performed.

この配線ダクトシステムに用いる配線ダクトに接続される照明器具などの電気機器は一般的に強電仕様であり、従って、配線ダクトの大きさや構造はＪＩＳ規格などの安全規格に準拠する必要がある。例えば、配線ダクトの開口部には構造制約が設けられ、ノイズや火災の発生を防止するため、配線ダクト内に設けられる電力線や通信線間の離隔距離が規格、標準化されている。また、配線ダクトの一側面に設けられた開口部から取り付けられる挿入型のジョイナや回転式のプラグなどの接続部材も構造制約がなされている。   Electrical equipment such as lighting fixtures connected to the wiring duct used in this wiring duct system is generally of a high power specification, and therefore the size and structure of the wiring duct must conform to safety standards such as JIS standards. For example, structural restrictions are provided at the opening of the wiring duct, and the separation distance between power lines and communication lines provided in the wiring duct is standardized and standardized in order to prevent noise and fire. In addition, connection members such as an insertion-type joiner and a rotary plug attached from an opening provided on one side of the wiring duct are also structurally restricted.

そして、接続部材を回転させるためのスペースをプラグから削減してプラグの小型化、及び配線ダクトの小型化を図った配線ダクト用プラグが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この配線ダクト用プラグは、図１１に示すように、配線ダクト３０の開口部にプラグ３１を挿し込み、配線ダクト用プラグ３１に設けられた操作レバー３２を使用者が所定方向に回転させる。この操作により、配線ダクト３０内に設けられた電力線と配線ダクト用プラグ３１に設けられた栓刃とが接触し電気的に接続される構造を有している。   A wiring duct plug is known in which the space for rotating the connection member is reduced from the plug to reduce the size of the plug and the size of the wiring duct (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As shown in FIG. 11, the plug for wiring duct inserts the plug 31 into the opening of the wiring duct 30, and the user rotates the operation lever 32 provided on the plug 31 for wiring duct in a predetermined direction. By this operation, the power line provided in the wiring duct 30 and the plug blade provided in the wiring duct plug 31 are brought into contact and electrically connected.

また、コンセントプラグを配線ダクトに装着してＡＣ／ＤＣアダプタを接続する際、ＡＣ／ＤＣアダプタが宙に浮かないようにコード等で括りつけたりする必要のない配線ダクト用コンセントプラグも知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   Also known is a wiring duct outlet plug that does not need to be tied with a cord or the like so that the AC / DC adapter does not float in the air when the outlet plug is attached to the wiring duct. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

そして、近年、強電仕様の電気機器のみでなく、各種センサなど、弱電仕様の電気機器が接続可能な配線ダクトシステムがある。この配線ダクトシステムでは、接続される電気機器が弱電対象となるため、配線ダクト内に設けられる電力線や通信線といった導体間の距離的な制約は抑制され、配線ダクトやプラグなどの配線ダクト接続部材の小型薄型化を図ることができる。   In recent years, there is a wiring duct system that can connect not only high-electricity-specific electrical equipment but also low-power-specificity electrical equipment such as various sensors. In this wiring duct system, since the electrical equipment to be connected is subject to weak electricity, distance restrictions between conductors such as power lines and communication lines provided in the wiring duct are suppressed, and wiring duct connection members such as wiring ducts and plugs are suppressed. Can be reduced in size and thickness.

しかしながら、上記のような小型薄型の配線ダクトに挿し込まれる配線ダクト接続部材においては、未だ、配線ダクトとの間の固定構造や電気的な接続構造が多様であり定まっていないという問題がある。例えば、上記特許文献１に示す配線ダクト用プラグ３１は、配線ダクト用プラグ３１を配線ダクト３０に固定するには操作レバー３２を使用者が回転させる必要があり手間を要する。   However, in the wiring duct connecting member inserted into the small and thin wiring duct as described above, there is still a problem that the fixing structure and the electrical connection structure with the wiring duct are various and are not determined. For example, the wiring duct plug 31 shown in Patent Document 1 requires a user to rotate the operation lever 32 in order to fix the wiring duct plug 31 to the wiring duct 30.

本発明は、上記問題を解消するものであり、小型薄型の配線ダクトに挿し込むだけで配線ダクトに固定できると共に、電気的な接続をすることができ、接続作業の容易な小型薄型の配線ダクト接続部材を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described problem, and can be fixed to a wiring duct simply by being inserted into a small and thin wiring duct, and can be electrically connected, so that the small and thin wiring duct can be easily connected.

本発明の実施の形態に係る配線ダクト接続部材について図面を参照して説明する。   A wiring duct connecting member according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

（実施の形態１）
図１に示すように、配線ダクトシステムＳは、配線ダクト１、配線ダクト接続部材（以下、接続部材と記す）であるプラグ２、及び電気機器３を備えている。配線ダクト１は、例えば、パイプ４の前面を被設置面として取り付けられ、この配線ダクト１の前面に、プラグ２を介して表示器や光センサなどの電気機器３が取り付けられる。 (Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the wiring duct system S includes a wiring duct 1, a plug 2 that is a wiring duct connecting member (hereinafter referred to as a connecting member), and an electric device 3. The wiring duct 1 is attached, for example, with the front surface of the pipe 4 as an installation surface, and an electrical device 3 such as a display or an optical sensor is attached to the front surface of the wiring duct 1 via a plug 2.

プラグ２は、配線ダクト１の一面に形成された開口部から挿入される接続部材であり、配線ダクト１に着脱可能に保持されると共に、電気機器３に接続されて電気機器３に電力及び信号の少なくとも一方を供給する。なお、接続部材はプラグ２に限られるものではなく、複数の配線ダクト１を互いに接続するジョイナ（連結部材）など他の部材も含まれる。図１において、プラグ２には、電気機器３として、配線ダクト１の長手方向の両端に光センサ、配線ダクト１の長手方向の中央部に表示器が取り外し可能に取り付けられる。なお、プラグ２に取り付けられる電気機器３の構成は表示器や光センサに限定されるものではない。   The plug 2 is a connecting member that is inserted from an opening formed on one surface of the wiring duct 1, is detachably held in the wiring duct 1, and is connected to the electric device 3 to supply power and signals to the electric device 3. At least one of the above. Note that the connecting member is not limited to the plug 2 and includes other members such as a joiner (connecting member) for connecting the plurality of wiring ducts 1 to each other. In FIG. 1, an electrical sensor 3 is removably attached to the plug 2 as an electrical device 3 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 1 and a display unit is detachably attached to the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the wiring duct 1. In addition, the structure of the electric equipment 3 attached to the plug 2 is not limited to a display or an optical sensor.

電気機器３は、ＡＣ２４Ｖ等で駆動が可能な弱電仕様の機器であり、比較的軽量な構成となっている。例えば、表示器は、情報を表示するＬＥＤ表示部や液晶表示部を備え、制御コンピュータからの通信信号を受けて、数値表示、ランプ表示や作業者の部品取り出しの可否、取り出し部品数などの作業履歴の表示を行う。光センサは、工場のピッキングシステムなどに用いられる赤外線センサであり、作業者の手による光の遮断を検知し、この検知結果を配線ダクト１を介して通信接続される制御コンピュータに送信する。   The electric device 3 is a low-electricity device that can be driven by AC 24 V or the like, and has a relatively lightweight configuration. For example, the display unit includes an LED display unit and a liquid crystal display unit for displaying information, receives a communication signal from the control computer, and performs operations such as numerical display, lamp display, whether or not a worker can remove parts, and the number of parts to be removed. Display the history. The optical sensor is an infrared sensor used in a factory picking system or the like, detects light blockage by an operator's hand, and transmits the detection result to a control computer connected via the wiring duct 1.

次に、配線ダクト１の構造に関して図２及び図３を参照しながら説明する。配線ダクト１は、図２（ａ）に示すように、所定の直線方向（以下、長手方向Ｌ）に延びた成形体である。   Next, the structure of the wiring duct 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2A, the wiring duct 1 is a molded body extending in a predetermined linear direction (hereinafter referred to as the longitudinal direction L).

配線ダクト１の外郭であるハウジングは、その長手方向Ｌに延びるスリット状の開口空間５を有し、開口空間５を形成する１つの面に導体である電力線１６が設けられ、この面に対向する面に、プラグなどの接続部材を保持する突起部１７（保持部）が設けられる。図２（ｂ）に示すように、配線ダクト１は、長手方向Ｌに直交する断面がＵ字形状であり、金属材料からなる金属部１０と、金属部１０の周囲に設けられた絶縁樹脂からなる絶縁体１１とを備えている。金属部１０及び絶縁体１１は、長手方向Ｌに沿って延びている。   The housing, which is the outer shell of the wiring duct 1, has a slit-shaped opening space 5 extending in the longitudinal direction L thereof, and a power line 16 that is a conductor is provided on one surface forming the opening space 5, and faces this surface. A protrusion 17 (holding portion) that holds a connection member such as a plug is provided on the surface. As shown in FIG. 2B, the wiring duct 1 has a U-shaped cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L, and includes a metal part 10 made of a metal material and an insulating resin provided around the metal part 10. And an insulator 11. The metal part 10 and the insulator 11 extend along the longitudinal direction L.

配線ダクト１の芯材である金属部１０は、配線ダクト１が設置される設置面に向かい合わせて設けられる基部１３を有している。長手方向Ｌに垂直な断面において上下方向に延びる平板状の基部１３は、長手方向Ｌに沿って延びる。また、垂直断面においてＵ字形状の外形を有する金属部１０は、上側に設けられる上側壁部１４と、下側に設けられる下側壁部１５とを備えている。なお、配線ダクト１のハウジングを樹脂材のみで一体成型することも考え得る。   The metal part 10 which is a core material of the wiring duct 1 has a base part 13 provided facing the installation surface on which the wiring duct 1 is installed. In the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, the flat base 13 extending in the vertical direction extends along the longitudinal direction L. In addition, the metal part 10 having a U-shaped outer shape in a vertical cross section includes an upper side wall part 14 provided on the upper side and a lower side wall part 15 provided on the lower side. It is also conceivable to integrally mold the housing of the wiring duct 1 with only a resin material.

配線ダクト１は、一対の電力線１６及び一対の突起部１７を収納する開口空間５を有すると共に、この開口空間５に連続する開口部１２を有し、この開口部１２は、長手方向Ｌにおいて延びて設けられている。   The wiring duct 1 has an opening space 5 that houses the pair of power lines 16 and the pair of protrusions 17, and has an opening 12 that is continuous with the opening space 5, and the opening 12 extends in the longitudinal direction L. Is provided.

配線ダクト１の開口空間５を形成する内側上面には、図３（ａ）に示すように、対となる電力線１６が設けられ、これら電力線１６は、内側上面及び内側底面の短手方向中心を通る中心線Ａを中心として、対象となる位置に配置される。なお、配線ダクト１の内部に収容される導体は、電力線に限定されるものではなく、後述する通信線を配置することもできる。   As shown in FIG. 3A, a pair of power lines 16 are provided on the inner upper surface forming the opening space 5 of the wiring duct 1, and these power lines 16 are centered in the lateral direction of the inner upper surface and the inner bottom surface. It is arranged at a target position around a center line A that passes through. In addition, the conductor accommodated in the inside of the wiring duct 1 is not limited to a power line, The communication line mentioned later can also be arrange | positioned.

配線ダクト１の内側面は比較的フラットな構造となっており、この構造により、配線ダクト１の内部に侵入した塵埃を容易に掃除できる。また、塵埃を容易に掃除できるため、塵埃が配線ダクト１の開口空間５に侵入することを防ぐダクトカバーを開口部１２に取り付ける必要がない。さらには、配線ダクト１に取り付けられる電気機器３は、弱電力用で駆動可能な機器であるため、特にダクトカバーを設けなくても火災などの安全上の規定に抵触することがなくなる。   The inner surface of the wiring duct 1 has a relatively flat structure. With this structure, dust that has entered the wiring duct 1 can be easily cleaned. Further, since dust can be easily cleaned, there is no need to attach a duct cover to the opening 12 that prevents dust from entering the opening space 5 of the wiring duct 1. Furthermore, since the electrical device 3 attached to the wiring duct 1 is a device that can be driven for low power, it does not conflict with safety regulations such as fire even if a duct cover is not particularly provided.

金属部１０は、非磁性体の金属材料であるアルミニウムで構成すると、低い周波数領域において、鉄より電磁波遮蔽の特性が得られることがあるため、アルミニウムで構成される。しかしながら、金属部１０の材料はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば押し出し成型などで用いられる鉄材を用いてもよい。   If the metal part 10 is made of aluminum, which is a non-magnetic metal material, it may be made of aluminum because electromagnetic shielding characteristics may be obtained from iron in a low frequency region. However, the material of the metal part 10 is not limited to this, and for example, an iron material used for extrusion molding or the like may be used.

絶縁体１１は、絶縁樹脂で形成され、電力線１６及び突起部１７と金属部１０とが接続されないように金属部１０の外周表面を覆うように設けられている。絶縁体１１は、電力線１６及び突起部１７を支持している。従って、金属部１０は、絶縁体１１により電力線１６及び突起部１７と絶縁され、電磁シールドとして機能する。また、絶縁体１１を絶縁樹脂で形成することにより、配線ダクト１を任意の箇所で容易に切断することができフレキシブルで自由度の高い部材とできる。   The insulator 11 is formed of an insulating resin, and is provided so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the metal part 10 so that the power line 16 and the protrusion 17 and the metal part 10 are not connected. The insulator 11 supports the power line 16 and the protrusion 17. Therefore, the metal part 10 is insulated from the power line 16 and the protrusion 17 by the insulator 11, and functions as an electromagnetic shield. Further, by forming the insulator 11 with an insulating resin, the wiring duct 1 can be easily cut at an arbitrary position, and a flexible and highly flexible member can be obtained.

次に、配線ダクト１の内側底面に形成された突起部１７に関して説明する。突起部１７は、図３（ａ）に示すように、配線ダクト１内に設けられる電力線１６の取付け面である内側上面に対向する内側底面に、電力線１６に対向した位置に設けられる。この突起部１７は、接続部材であるプラグ２を配線ダクト１に固定すると共に、プラグ２に備わる接続部２１の電気的な接続位置を切り替える役目を有する。   Next, the protrusion 17 formed on the inner bottom surface of the wiring duct 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3A, the protrusion 17 is provided at a position facing the power line 16 on the inner bottom surface facing the inner top surface, which is a mounting surface of the power line 16 provided in the wiring duct 1. The protrusion 17 serves to fix the plug 2 as a connection member to the wiring duct 1 and to switch the electrical connection position of the connection portion 21 provided in the plug 2.

突起部１７は、配線ダクト１の内側上面及び内側底面の短手方向中心を通る中心線Ａを中心として、対象となる位置に配置される。なお、突起部１７及び電力線１６は、中心線Ａを中心として対象とならない位置に配置することも考え得る。また、突起部１７の断面形状は、半円形状に限定されるものではなく、凸形状、多角形状や三角形状とすることもできる。   The protrusion 17 is disposed at a target position with a center line A passing through the center in the short direction of the inner upper surface and the inner bottom surface of the wiring duct 1 as a center. In addition, it can also be considered that the protrusion 17 and the power line 16 are arranged at positions that are not targeted around the center line A. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 17 is not limited to a semicircular shape, and may be a convex shape, a polygonal shape, or a triangular shape.

次に、図３及び図４を参照して配線ダクト１とプラグ２との接続構造に関して説明する。プラグ２は、図３に示すように、配線ダクト１の外殻に合わせた形状で形成され、垂直断面が略Ｕ字形状で、上下方向の中央から短手方向に水平に延び、配線ダクト１の開口空間５に嵌合する凸部２ａが形成されている。   Next, a connection structure between the wiring duct 1 and the plug 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the plug 2 is formed in a shape that matches the outer shell of the wiring duct 1, has a substantially U-shaped vertical cross section, and extends horizontally from the center in the vertical direction in the short direction. A convex portion 2a that fits into the open space 5 is formed.

凸部２ａは、プラグ２への挿入動作に伴い配線ダクト１の内側底面に形成された突起部１７により上方向（図３では矢印Ｙ１方向）に付勢され、その上端部が電力線１６と電気的に接触されるバネ形状をした接続部２１を内蔵する。すなわち、プラグ２の配線ダクト１への挿入動作に伴い、プラグ２の接続部２１と配線ダクト１の電力線１６とが電気的な非接続状態から接続状態に切り替わる。   The protrusion 2a is urged upward (in the direction of arrow Y1 in FIG. 3) by the protrusion 17 formed on the inner bottom surface of the wiring duct 1 in accordance with the insertion operation into the plug 2, and the upper end of the protrusion 2a is electrically connected to the power line 16. A spring-shaped connecting portion 21 is built in. That is, with the insertion operation of the plug 2 into the wiring duct 1, the connecting portion 21 of the plug 2 and the power line 16 of the wiring duct 1 are switched from the electrically non-connected state to the connected state.

図４に示す場合、接続部２１ａ，２１ｂは、バネ形状の金属導体で構成されている。しかし、接続部２１はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、図３（ｃ）に示すように、電力線１６と電気的に接続可能な立体形状の金属導体で構成されていても構わない。接続部２１ａ，２１ｂは、取り付け板２３に接続されている。また、図４（ｃ）に示すように、複数の接続部２１ａ，２１ｂは、配線ダクト１の短手方向における長さの異なる段違い構成を有している。   In the case shown in FIG. 4, the connecting portions 21a and 21b are made of spring-shaped metal conductors. However, the connection part 21 is not limited to this, For example, as shown in FIG.3 (c), you may be comprised with the solid-shaped metal conductor which can be electrically connected with the power line 16. FIG. The connection portions 21a and 21b are connected to the attachment plate 23. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the plurality of connecting portions 21 a and 21 b have different configurations with different lengths in the short direction of the wiring duct 1.

なお、プラグ２の外側には、プラグ２に取り付けられる電気機器３のコネクタを挿し込むためのコネクタ挿入部２２が形成され、このコネクタ挿入部２２と接続部２１は、導線を介して電気的に接続されている。   In addition, a connector insertion portion 22 for inserting a connector of the electric device 3 attached to the plug 2 is formed outside the plug 2, and the connector insertion portion 22 and the connection portion 21 are electrically connected via a conductor. It is connected.

以上の説明のように、本実施の形態１において、小型薄型が図られた接続部材であるプラグ２の凸部２ａは、接続部２１を備える。この接続部２１は、プラグ２の配線ダクト１への挿入動作に伴い、配線ダクト１の内側底面に設けられた突起部１７により上昇され、配線ダクト１の導体１６と電気的に接続される。この構成により、ユーザはプラグ２を配線ダクト１に挿し込むだけの容易な操作でプラグ２を配線ダクト１に固定できると共に、電力線１６と接続部２１とを電気的に接続できる。   As described above, in the first embodiment, the convex portion 2 a of the plug 2 that is a connecting member that is small and thin is provided with the connecting portion 21. The connecting portion 21 is raised by the protrusion 17 provided on the inner bottom surface of the wiring duct 1 along with the insertion operation of the plug 2 into the wiring duct 1, and is electrically connected to the conductor 16 of the wiring duct 1. With this configuration, the user can fix the plug 2 to the wiring duct 1 by an easy operation of simply inserting the plug 2 into the wiring duct 1, and can electrically connect the power line 16 and the connecting portion 21.

（第１の変形例）

They are provided in parallel directions at intervals. The protrusion 17 is disposed at a position facing the power line 16 and the communication line 18 on the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the convex portion 1a.

プラグ２の凸部２ａは、プラグ２の配線ダクト１への挿入動作に伴い、配線ダクト１の凸部１ａに設けられた突起部１７により上昇又は下降され、配線ダクト１の電力線１６及び通信線１８と電気的に接続される接続部２１ａ〜２１ｄを内蔵する。すなわち、図６に示すように、プラグ２の凸部２ａには、電力線１６に電気的に接続される金属バネ状の接続部２１ａ，２１ｂ及び通信線１８に接続される金属バネ状の接続部２１ｃ，２１ｄが設けられる。 The protrusion 2 a of the plug 2 is raised or lowered by the protrusion 17 provided on the protrusion 1 a of the wiring duct 1 in accordance with the insertion operation of the plug 2 into the wiring duct 1.
