以下將針對本實施例的接線裝置10(10A)之結構進行詳細說明。 The structure of the wiring device 10 (10A) of the present embodiment will be described in detail below.
如圖2所示，斷路器單元1包含為長方體之外罩12。外罩12其中容納用以切斷電源供應器和插座單元2之間的電路徑之斷路功能單元11(參照圖3)。外罩12係由合成樹脂製成，外罩12之前表面121設置複數孔，描述於下的重設按鈕111和測試按鈕112係透過該等孔而暴露，且在外罩12之後表面122(見圖4)設置複數孔，描述於下的端子部分113和115係透過該等孔而暴露。此外，一顯示窗口123係位於外罩12的前表面121上。顯示窗口123使描述於下的顯示單元114在外罩12的前表面121上可見。 As shown in FIG. 2, the circuit breaker unit 1 includes a rectangular outer casing 12. The outer cover 12 houses therein a disconnecting function unit 11 (refer to FIG. 3) for cutting off an electrical path between the power supply and the outlet unit 2. The outer cover 12 is made of synthetic resin, and the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 is provided with a plurality of holes, and the reset button 111 and the test button 112 described below are exposed through the holes, and the surface 122 of the outer cover 12 (see FIG. 4). A plurality of holes are provided through which the terminal portions 113 and 115 described below are exposed. Further, a display window 123 is located on the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12. The display window 123 causes the display unit 114 described below to be visible on the front surface 121 of the housing 12.
在本實施例中，固定構件3(3A)(參照圖1)為用於大方形凸座類型之可互換的接線裝置之固定框架，該大方形凸座類型之可互換的接線裝 置係在JIS中標準化。外罩12係用以被固定構件3所固持。具體地，外罩12與兩個接線裝置的整體具有相同的尺寸和形狀，該兩個接線裝置之每一者具有單一模組尺寸，該等接線裝置係在垂直方向上並排地設置(外罩12之前表面121的長度方向狀)。單一模組尺寸係定義為一標準化的接線裝置的尺寸，該尺寸係決定俾使多達三個標準化之接線裝置係可連固定構件3。此外，外罩12包含兩組4個突出部124，各組分別位在前表面121的寬度方向上之相對的側表面上。突出部124作為裝置(嚙合部件)，用於使外罩12可被固定構件3固持。 In the present embodiment, the fixing member 3 (3A) (refer to FIG. 1) is a fixing frame for an interchangeable wiring device of a large square boss type, and the interchangeable wiring of the large square boss type The system is standardized in JIS. The outer cover 12 is used to be held by the fixing member 3. Specifically, the outer cover 12 and the two wiring devices have the same size and shape as a whole, and each of the two wiring devices has a single module size, and the wiring devices are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (before the outer cover 12) The surface 121 has a longitudinal direction). The single module size is defined as the size of a standardized wiring device that determines that up to three standardized wiring devices can be attached to the stationary member 3. Further, the outer cover 12 includes two sets of four projections 124, each of which is located on the opposite side surface in the width direction of the front surface 121. The protruding portion 124 serves as a device (engagement member) for allowing the outer cover 12 to be held by the fixing member 3.
如圖3所示，斷路功能單元11包含第一端子部分113、第二端子部分115、以及接點組116，其中該第一端子部分113作為待電連接至插座單元2之端子單元，該第二端子部分115作為待電連接至電源供應器之端子單元，該一組接點係***於第一端子部分113和第二端子部分115之間。換言之，斷路功能單元11包含接點組116，該等接點位於在電源供應器和插座單元2之間的電路徑110中。斷路功能單元11係用以透過打開接點組116而切斷電路徑110。 As shown in FIG. 3, the breaking function unit 11 includes a first terminal portion 113, a second terminal portion 115, and a contact group 116, wherein the first terminal portion 113 serves as a terminal unit to be electrically connected to the socket unit 2, the first The two terminal portion 115 serves as a terminal unit to be electrically connected to the power supply, and the set of contacts is inserted between the first terminal portion 113 and the second terminal portion 115. In other words, the trip function unit 11 includes a set of contacts 116 that are located in the electrical path 110 between the power supply and the outlet unit 2. The disconnecting function unit 11 is for cutting off the electrical path 110 by opening the contact group 116.
在本實施例中，斷路功能單元11包含檢測單元117和驅動單元118。檢測單元117係用以根據流動於電源供應器和插座單元2之間的電流檢測洩漏。圖3繪示檢測單元117連接到***於電路110中之零相變流器119的例子。檢測單元117係用以接收該零相變流器119的次級輸出，並根據該次級輸出檢測漏電。驅動單元118包含跳脫線圈(未示出)，該跳脫線圈係回應檢測單元117所檢測到的漏電而通電，並且亦具有用以當跳脫線圈通電時，打開接點組116的機構。 In the present embodiment, the disconnecting function unit 11 includes a detecting unit 117 and a driving unit 118. The detecting unit 117 is for detecting a leak according to a current flowing between the power supply and the outlet unit 2. FIG. 3 illustrates an example in which the detecting unit 117 is connected to the zero phase converter 119 inserted in the circuit 110. The detecting unit 117 is configured to receive the secondary output of the zero-phase current transformer 119 and detect leakage based on the secondary output. The drive unit 118 includes a trip coil (not shown) that is energized in response to the leakage detected by the detection unit 117 and also has a mechanism for opening the contact set 116 when the trip coil is energized.
在上述斷路功能單元11中，在正常狀態(沒有漏電的狀態)時，零相變流器119的次級輸出為零且因此驅動單元118不啟動且接點組116係維持關閉。另一方面，當漏電發生時，在斷路功能單元11中，檢測單元117接收零相變流器119的次級輸出(感應電壓)並激發驅動單元118之跳脫線圈，且從而 驅動單元118係被激發以開啟接點組116。如從以上可理解，斷路功能單元11係用以根據流動於電源供應器和插座單元2之間的電流，判斷是否已發生漏電。斷路功能單元11係用以，當確定已經發生漏電時，切斷電源供應器和插座單元2之間的電路徑110，以中斷至插座單元2的電力供應。 In the above-described disconnecting function unit 11, in the normal state (the state without leakage), the secondary output of the zero-phase converter 119 is zero and thus the driving unit 118 is not activated and the contact group 116 is kept off. On the other hand, when the leakage occurs, in the disconnecting function unit 11, the detecting unit 117 receives the secondary output (induced voltage) of the zero-phase converter 119 and excites the tripping coil of the driving unit 118, and thereby Drive unit 118 is energized to open contact set 116. As can be understood from the above, the disconnecting function unit 11 is for judging whether or not leakage has occurred according to the current flowing between the power supply and the outlet unit 2. The disconnecting function unit 11 is configured to cut off the electrical path 110 between the power supply and the outlet unit 2 to interrupt the supply of power to the outlet unit 2 when it is determined that leakage has occurred.
另外，本實施例的斷路功能單元11包含重設按鈕111、測試按鈕112和顯示單元114。 In addition, the disconnection function unit 11 of the present embodiment includes a reset button 111, a test button 112, and a display unit 114.
重設按鈕111係由使用者手動操作，以從斷路功能單元11切斷電路徑110之狀態中恢復。換言之，當接點116開啟而按下重設按鈕111時，斷路功能單元11回到關閉接點組116的正常狀態。測試按鈕112係由使用者手動操作，以進行當接點組116關閉時，在正常狀態下之斷路功能單元11的操作檢查。當測試按鈕112在正常狀態下被按壓時，斷路功能單元11強制地迫使類似於出現漏電的情況之情況發生。因此，若斷路功能單元11回應漏電之發生而正常地運作時，接點組116係開啟。 The reset button 111 is manually operated by the user to recover from the state in which the disconnection function unit 11 cuts off the electrical path 110. In other words, when the contact 116 is turned on and the reset button 111 is pressed, the disconnection function unit 11 returns to the normal state of the closed contact group 116. The test button 112 is manually operated by the user to perform an operation check of the disconnection function unit 11 in the normal state when the contact group 116 is turned off. When the test button 112 is pressed in the normal state, the disconnection function unit 11 forcibly forces a situation similar to the occurrence of a leak to occur. Therefore, if the disconnection function unit 11 operates normally in response to the occurrence of leakage, the contact group 116 is turned on.
顯示單元114係位於一透過外罩12的前表面121可見之位置，且係用以顯示異常電流是否發生。換言之，顯示單元114係設置在暴露於外罩12的前表面121上之顯示窗口123，且顯示在顯示單元114上的指示可透過顯示窗123看到。顯示窗口123可為顯示單元114的一部分。 The display unit 114 is located at a position visible through the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 and is used to indicate whether an abnormal current has occurred. In other words, the display unit 114 is disposed on the display window 123 exposed on the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12, and the indication displayed on the display unit 114 can be seen through the display window 123. Display window 123 can be part of display unit 114.
顯示單元114包含如LED(發光二極體)之發光元件。在顯示單元114在正常狀態下係設定為開啟，且回應由檢測單元117檢測之漏電而關閉。以此方式顯示單元114以視覺方式通知使用者是否發生漏電。在斷路功能單元11中，當重設按鈕111在顯示單元114於關閉狀態時被按下，接點組116亦在顯示單元114開啟時關閉。需注意，顯示單元114並非一定配置為透過開啟和關閉宣布漏電之發生，但可配置為，例如，透過改變由其所發出的彩色光宣布漏電之發生。 The display unit 114 includes a light emitting element such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode). The display unit 114 is set to be on in the normal state, and is turned off in response to the leakage detected by the detecting unit 117. In this manner, the display unit 114 visually notifies the user whether or not electric leakage has occurred. In the disconnection function unit 11, when the reset button 111 is pressed while the display unit 114 is in the off state, the contact group 116 is also turned off when the display unit 114 is turned on. It should be noted that the display unit 114 is not necessarily configured to announce the occurrence of leakage through opening and closing, but may be configured to, for example, announce the occurrence of leakage by changing the colored light emitted by it.
如圖4所示，斷路器單元1在外罩12的後表面122設置複數孔，第一端子部分113係透過該等孔各別暴露，亦設置進一步的複數孔，第二端子部分115係透過該等孔各別暴露。換言之，電線係分別透過在外罩12的後表面中之前孔連接到第一端子部分113，且進一步的電線係分別透過在外罩12的後表面中之後孔連接到第二端子部分115。第一端子部分113係透過第一電線41電連接至暴露在插座單元2之外罩21的後表面212上的各別端子部分22，且第二端子部分115係透過第二電線42電連接至配電板(分支斷路器)。 As shown in FIG. 4, the circuit breaker unit 1 is provided with a plurality of holes on the rear surface 122 of the outer cover 12. The first terminal portion 113 is separately exposed through the holes, and a further plurality of holes are also provided, and the second terminal portion 115 is transmitted through the hole. The holes are exposed separately. In other words, the electric wires are respectively connected to the first terminal portion 113 through the holes in the rear surface of the outer cover 12, and the further electric wires are respectively transmitted through the rear surface of the outer cover 12 to be connected to the second terminal portions 115. The first terminal portion 113 is electrically connected to the respective terminal portions 22 exposed on the rear surface 212 of the outer cover 212 of the socket unit 2 through the first electric wires 41, and the second terminal portion 115 is electrically connected to the power distribution through the second electric wires 42.

在此方面，第一端子部分113、第二端子部分115、和端子部分22之每一者為一包含用於鎖固之彈簧(未示出)的快速連接端子。快速連接端子係用以建立與電線的電連接並回應電線之一端的***，使用該彈簧實質上鎖固該電線(防止電線的剝離)。在圖4中，插座單位2為一三極插座，其具有接地極並因此一組三個第一端子部分113及一組三個第二端子部分115之每一者構成三極端子單元。 In this regard, each of the first terminal portion 113, the second terminal portion 115, and the terminal portion 22 is a quick connect terminal including a spring for locking (not shown). The quick connect terminal is used to establish an electrical connection with the wire and respond to the insertion of one end of the wire, which is used to substantially lock the wire (to prevent stripping of the wire). In FIG. 4, the socket unit 2 is a three-pole socket having a grounding pole and thus each of a set of three first terminal portions 113 and a set of three second terminal portions 115 constitutes a three-terminal subunit.
如圖1所示，插座單元2(2A)為具有單一模組尺寸的通用接線裝置單元(插座)。插座單元2包含具有單一模組尺寸的外罩21，並具有容納在該外罩21中之插頭接收器(接收彈簧)(未示出)。該插頭接收器係接收一***式連接器的插頭(未顯示)。 As shown in Fig. 1, the socket unit 2 (2A) is a universal wiring unit (socket) having a single module size. The socket unit 2 includes a housing 21 having a single module size and has a plug receiver (receiving spring) (not shown) housed in the housing 21. The plug receiver receives a plug (not shown) of a plug-in connector.
插座單元2在外罩21的前表面211係設置複數插頭***開口部24，該等插頭***開口部各自使插頭的葉片(銷)可***。插頭接收器係設置於外罩21內對應至插頭***開口部24處。在此示例中，插座單元2為具有接地極的3極插座。因此，圖1所示的實施例包含三個插頭***開口部24的一組。 The socket unit 2 is provided with a plurality of plug insertion openings 24 on the front surface 211 of the outer cover 21, and the plug insertion openings each allow the blades (pins) of the plug to be inserted. The plug receiver is disposed in the housing 21 corresponding to the plug insertion opening 24. In this example, the outlet unit 2 is a 3-pole socket with a grounding pole. Thus, the embodiment shown in Figure 1 includes a set of three plug insertion openings 24.
如圖1和圖5所示，具有上述結構之斷路器單元1係與插座單元2(2A)利用固定構件3(3A)附接至安裝表面100，且斷路器單元1和插座單元2(2A)共同構成接線裝置10(10A)。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the breaker unit 1 having the above structure and the socket unit 2 (2A) are attached to the mounting surface 100 by the fixing member 3 (3A), and the breaker unit 1 and the socket unit 2 (2A) Together, the wiring device 10 (10A) is constructed.
斷路器單元1和插座單元2之每一者係利用固定構件(固定框架)3附接至安裝表面100，如典型的平嵌式接線裝置之情形。圖1顯示其中描述於下的裝飾板5(5A)未附接至固定構件3的結構且圖5顯示裝飾板5(5A)係附接到固定構件3的結構。 Each of the breaker unit 1 and the socket unit 2 is attached to the mounting surface 100 by a fixing member (fixing frame) 3, as in the case of a typical flush-type wiring device. 1 shows a structure in which the decorative panel 5 (5A) described below is not attached to the fixing member 3 and FIG. 5 shows a structure in which the decorative panel 5 (5A) is attached to the fixing member 3.
如圖1所示，本實施例的接線裝置10附接至安裝表面100的方式，使接線裝置10的後方部分位於安裝孔101內，安裝孔101係於安裝表面上100開啟。斷路器單元1之外罩12係用以由固定構件3固持，其方式使設置插頭***開口部24的插座單元2之外罩12的前表面121及表面(前表面211)面向同一方向。 As shown in FIG. 1, the wiring device 10 of the present embodiment is attached to the mounting surface 100 such that the rear portion of the wiring device 10 is located within the mounting hole 101, and the mounting hole 101 is attached to the mounting surface 100. The outer cover 12 of the breaker unit 1 is held by the fixing member 3 in such a manner that the front surface 121 and the surface (front surface 211) of the outer cover 12 of the socket unit 2 in which the plug is inserted into the opening portion 24 face in the same direction.
固定構件3為一三裝置型(單一類型)固定框架，使如上述之多達三個具有單一模組尺寸之接線裝置得以附接。固定構件3由合成樹脂製成。固定構件3具有矩形框架形狀，包含左側31、右側32、上側33、和下側34。左側31和右側32在垂直方向(第一方向或長度方向[圖1中向上和向下的方向])延伸。上側33與左側31和右側34的上端互連。下側34與左側31和右側32的下端互連。因此，固定構件(固定框架)3包含一單一開口(由左側31、右側32、上側33和下側34所包圍的空間)，該單一開口界定用以容納一一或更多接線裝置之安裝空間39。安裝空間39係由三個相等的空間390(上部空間391、中間空間392、和下部空間393)構成，該等空間各自用以容納具有單一模組尺寸之接線裝置。 The fixing member 3 is a three-device type (single type) fixing frame for attaching up to three wiring devices having a single module size as described above. The fixing member 3 is made of synthetic resin. The fixing member 3 has a rectangular frame shape including a left side 31, a right side 32, an upper side 33, and a lower side 34. The left side 31 and the right side 32 extend in the vertical direction (the first direction or the length direction [the upward and downward directions in FIG. 1]). The upper side 33 is interconnected with the upper ends of the left side 31 and the right side 34. The lower side 34 is interconnected with the lower ends of the left side 31 and the right side 32. Therefore, the fixing member (fixing frame) 3 includes a single opening (a space surrounded by the left side 31, the right side 32, the upper side 33, and the lower side 34) defining a mounting space for accommodating one or more wiring devices 39. The installation space 39 is composed of three equal spaces 390 (the upper space 391, the intermediate space 392, and the lower space 393), each of which is for accommodating a wiring device having a single module size.
左側31和右側32之每一者設置三組兩個接合孔(未示出)。接合孔係用以容納突出部124。該兩組四個突出部124係分別位於外罩12的兩個側表面上。另外，右側32包含彈性片材36。每個彈性片材36在與左側31的相反方向為可變形。 Each of the left side 31 and the right side 32 is provided with three sets of two engaging holes (not shown). The engagement holes are for receiving the protrusions 124. The two sets of four protrusions 124 are respectively located on both side surfaces of the outer cover 12. Additionally, the right side 32 includes an elastic sheet 36. Each of the elastic sheets 36 is deformable in the opposite direction to the left side 31.
因此，在突出部124被裝配到左側31中之接合孔中後，當斷路器單元1從後方被向前壓至固定構件3(安裝空間39)之內部時，突出部124使彈性 片材36變形且從而裝配到在右側32中之接合孔。因此，位於外罩12的相對側表面上之該兩組四個突出部124的其中一組係與左側31之二組兩個接合孔嚙合，且該兩組四個突出部124之另外一組係與在右側32之該兩組兩個接合孔嚙合，且從而斷路器單元1係由固定構件3所固持。 Therefore, after the protruding portion 124 is fitted into the engaging hole in the left side 31, when the breaker unit 1 is pressed forward from the rear to the inside of the fixing member 3 (the mounting space 39), the protruding portion 124 makes the elasticity The sheet 36 is deformed and thus fitted to the engaging holes in the right side 32. Therefore, one of the two sets of four protrusions 124 on the opposite side surfaces of the outer cover 12 is engaged with the two sets of two engagement holes of the left side 31, and the other of the two sets of four protrusions 124 is The two sets of two engaging holes on the right side 32 are engaged, and thus the breaker unit 1 is held by the fixing member 3.
為一種通用接線裝置單元的插座單元2由固定構件3所固持，此係透過將位於外罩21的兩個側表面上之兩組兩個突出部23分別嚙合至在左側31和右側32中之兩組兩個接合孔中而為之。換言之，插座單元2亦附接到固定構件且係由固定構件3以類似於斷路器單元1的方式固持。 The socket unit 2, which is a universal wiring unit, is held by the fixing member 3 by engaging two sets of two projections 23 on both side surfaces of the outer cover 21 to two of the left side 31 and the right side 32, respectively. Set it in two joint holes. In other words, the socket unit 2 is also attached to the fixing member and is held by the fixing member 3 in a manner similar to the circuit breaker unit 1.
吾人應注意，在圖1和圖5所示之示例中，接線裝置10係附接至具有三個空間390(上部空間391、中間空間392、和下部空間393)之固定構件3，固定構件3各自容納一具有單一模組尺寸之接線裝置，其容納方式使插座單元2位於下部空間393中且斷路器單元1位於整個上部空間391和中間空間392中。然而，斷路器單元1和插座單元2之間的位置關係並不限於本實施例之該點。例如，插座單元2可位於上部空間391中且斷路器單元1可位於整個中間空間392和下部空間393中。 It should be noted that in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the wiring device 10 is attached to the fixing member 3 having three spaces 390 (the upper space 391, the intermediate space 392, and the lower space 393), the fixing member 3 Each of the wiring devices having a single module size is accommodated in such a manner that the socket unit 2 is located in the lower space 393 and the circuit breaker unit 1 is located in the entire upper space 391 and the intermediate space 392. However, the positional relationship between the breaker unit 1 and the outlet unit 2 is not limited to this point of the embodiment. For example, the outlet unit 2 can be located in the upper space 391 and the circuit breaker unit 1 can be located in the entire intermediate space 392 and the lower space 393.
固定構件3包含分別形成於上側33和下側34之細長孔37。固定構件3係透過螺旋轉動至開關盒中而固定至開關盒(未示出)，固定穿過該細長孔37之螺釘(未示出)。開關盒係設置在牆的後面並朝向安裝孔101。固定構件3係固定至開關盒且係以此方式附接至安裝表面100，且從而由固定構件3所固持的接線裝置10(斷路器單元1和插座2單元)係附接至安裝表面100。 The fixing member 3 includes elongated holes 37 formed in the upper side 33 and the lower side 34, respectively. The fixing member 3 is fixed to a switch case (not shown) by screwing into a switch case, and is fixed to a screw (not shown) through the elongated hole 37. The switch box is disposed behind the wall and faces the mounting hole 101. The fixing member 3 is fixed to the switch box and attached to the mounting surface 100 in this manner, and thus the wiring device 10 (the breaker unit 1 and the socket 2 unit) held by the fixing member 3 is attached to the mounting surface 100.
固定構件3更包含各別形成在上側33和下側34之螺紋孔38。裝飾板5(5A)係穿過螺紋孔38固定至固定構件3的前側。裝飾板5(5A)具有矩形框架之形狀，且包含一(矩形)開口部51。裝飾板5(5A)係固定至固定構件3A以透過開口部51暴露斷路器單元1和插座單元2A並掩蔽固定構件3A。換言之， 如圖5所示，裝飾板5(5A)覆蓋接線裝置10的前表面之周圍的空間，以掩蔽至少安裝孔101之周邊，且從而接線裝置10的外觀整體係改善。以此方面，裝飾板5(5A)係由一板框架和板外罩的兩個構件構成。板框架係待螺旋至固定構件3且板外罩係待附接於該板框架的前表面。 The fixing member 3 further includes screw holes 38 formed in the upper side 33 and the lower side 34, respectively. The decorative panel 5 (5A) is fixed to the front side of the fixing member 3 through the screw hole 38. The decorative panel 5 (5A) has a rectangular frame shape and includes a (rectangular) opening portion 51. The decorative panel 5 (5A) is fixed to the fixing member 3A to expose the breaker unit 1 and the socket unit 2A through the opening portion 51 and to mask the fixing member 3A. In other words, As shown in FIG. 5, the decorative panel 5 (5A) covers the space around the front surface of the wiring device 10 to mask at least the periphery of the mounting hole 101, and thus the overall appearance of the wiring device 10 is improved. In this respect, the decorative panel 5 (5A) is composed of two members of a plate frame and a plate cover. The plate frame is to be screwed to the fixing member 3 and the plate cover is to be attached to the front surface of the plate frame.
為了使外罩21的前表面211與裝飾板5的前表面大致齊平，插座單元2係由固定構件3固持，其固持方式使外罩21的前表面211相對於安裝表面100突出。同樣地，為了使外罩12的前表面121與裝飾板5的前表面(以及插座2單元的外罩21之前表面211)大致齊平，斷路器單元1係由固定構件3固持，其固持方式使外罩12的前表面121相對於安裝表面100突出。 In order to make the front surface 211 of the outer cover 21 substantially flush with the front surface of the decorative panel 5, the socket unit 2 is held by the fixing member 3 in such a manner that the front surface 211 of the outer cover 21 protrudes relative to the mounting surface 100. Similarly, in order to make the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 substantially flush with the front surface of the decorative panel 5 (and the front surface 211 of the outer cover 21 of the socket 2 unit), the circuit breaker unit 1 is held by the fixing member 3 in a manner of holding the outer cover The front surface 121 of the 12 protrudes relative to the mounting surface 100.
如上述之本發明的斷路器單元1係與插座單元2(2A)分開且係用以與插座單元2(2A)附接至安裝表面100，且外罩12係用以由固定構件3(3A)所固持。固定構件3(3A)係待連接至安裝表面100並固持插座單元2(2A)。此結構容許增加一斷路功能同時仍能在無需修改的情況下使用通用接線裝置單元(插座)作為插座單元2(2A)。 The circuit breaker unit 1 of the present invention as described above is separate from the socket unit 2 (2A) and is attached to the socket unit 2 (2A) to the mounting surface 100, and the housing 12 is used to be fixed by the fixing member 3 (3A) Holded. The fixing member 3 (3A) is to be connected to the mounting surface 100 and holds the socket unit 2 (2A). This configuration allows an open circuit function to be added while still using the universal wiring unit (socket) as the outlet unit 2 (2A) without modification.
換言之，斷路器單元1係待與插座單元2附接至安裝表面100，此係藉由利用固定構件3以將插座單元2附接於安裝表面100為之。因此，即使未經結構變化之通用單元係用以作為插座單元2，斷路器單元1可與插座單元2透過固定構件3附接至安裝表面100。可使用一未經修改之通用的接線裝置單元作為插座單元2，且因此，能夠抑制接線裝置的類型數量並能夠抑制由類型數量增加所導致的生產效率下降。 In other words, the circuit breaker unit 1 is to be attached to the mounting surface 100 with the socket unit 2 by attaching the socket unit 2 to the mounting surface 100 by means of the fixing member 3. Therefore, even if a general-purpose unit that is not structurally changed is used as the outlet unit 2, the breaker unit 1 can be attached to the mounting surface 100 through the fixing member 3 with the outlet unit 2. An unmodified universal wiring unit can be used as the outlet unit 2, and therefore, the number of types of wiring devices can be suppressed and the decrease in production efficiency caused by the increase in the number of types can be suppressed.
如在以上實施例中所述，較佳地，斷路功能單元11包含重設按鈕111及端子部分113，其中重設按鈕111係以手動操作以從切斷電路徑110之狀態恢復；端子部分113係待電連接至插座單元2。在此情況下，重設按鈕111所在之位置，使重設按鈕111暴露至外罩12的前表面121上且端子部分113所在之 位置，使端子部分113暴露至外罩12的後表面122上。外罩12係用以由固定構件3固持，其固持方式使外罩12之前表面121與設置插頭***開口部24之插座單元2的表面(前表面211)面向相同方向。 As described in the above embodiment, preferably, the disconnecting function unit 11 includes a reset button 111 and a terminal portion 113, wherein the reset button 111 is manually operated to recover from the state of cutting off the electrical path 110; the terminal portion 113 It is to be electrically connected to the outlet unit 2. In this case, the position of the button 111 is reset, and the reset button 111 is exposed to the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 and the terminal portion 113 is located. The position is such that the terminal portion 113 is exposed to the rear surface 122 of the outer cover 12. The outer cover 12 is held by the fixing member 3 in such a manner that the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 faces the surface (front surface 211) of the socket unit 2 in which the plug is inserted into the opening portion 24 in the same direction.
根據該結構，當斷路器單元1係附接至安裝表面100時，重設按鈕111位於插頭***口24所在之外罩12的同一表面121上，因此可在不將斷路器單元1從安裝表面100拆卸之情況下操作重設按鈕111。另外，斷路器單元1的端子部分113位於外罩12的後表面122上且因此，能夠在斷路器單元1附接至安裝表面100時，掩蔽用於將斷路器單元1連接至插座單元2的第一電線41。 According to this configuration, when the breaker unit 1 is attached to the mounting surface 100, the reset button 111 is located on the same surface 121 of the cover 12 on which the plug insertion port 24 is located, so that the breaker unit 1 can be removed from the mounting surface 100 The reset button 111 is operated in the case of disassembly. In addition, the terminal portion 113 of the circuit breaker unit 1 is located on the rear surface 122 of the outer cover 12 and, therefore, can be used to mask the connection of the circuit breaker unit 1 to the outlet unit 2 when the circuit breaker unit 1 is attached to the mounting surface 100 A wire 41.
此外，在此情況下，如在上述實施例中所述，較佳的是斷路功能單元11更包含顯示單元114，顯示單元114係位於透過外罩12的前表面121可見之位置且係顯示是否有異常電流發生。根據該結構，當斷路器單元1係附接至安裝表面100時，顯示單元114係透過插頭***開口部24所在之外罩12的同一表面121為可見，因此，能夠在不將斷路器單元1從安裝表面100拆卸之情況下，看到顯示單元114之指示。 In addition, in this case, as described in the above embodiment, it is preferable that the disconnecting function unit 11 further includes a display unit 114, and the display unit 114 is located at a position visible through the front surface 121 of the outer cover 12 and indicates whether or not there is An abnormal current occurs. According to this configuration, when the breaker unit 1 is attached to the mounting surface 100, the display unit 114 is visible through the same surface 121 of the outer cover 12 where the plug insertion opening 24 is located, and therefore, the breaker unit 1 can be removed from In the case where the mounting surface 100 is detached, an indication of the display unit 114 is seen.
較佳地，斷路功能單元11包含***於電路110中之接點組116、根據流動於電源供應器和插座單元2之間之電流檢測漏電的檢測單元117、以及回應於由檢測單元117所檢測到的漏電情形打開接點組116的驅動單元118。根據該結構，加入斷路器單元1使接線裝置10在發生漏電時，自動切斷至插座單元2的電力供應。 Preferably, the disconnecting function unit 11 includes a contact group 116 inserted in the circuit 110, a detecting unit 117 for detecting leakage according to a current flowing between the power supply and the outlet unit 2, and in response to being detected by the detecting unit 117. The resulting leakage condition opens the drive unit 118 of the contact set 116. According to this configuration, the breaker unit 1 is added to cause the wiring device 10 to automatically cut off the power supply to the outlet unit 2 when a leakage occurs.
