Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Technical field> This invention can be attached to a power outlet on a wall, etc.
The present invention relates to an outlet unit that controls power supply to devices in use by receiving remote control signals.

<Prior Art> First, the outlet unit will be briefly explained. Recently, many home appliances that can be controlled using wireless remote controllers have become available, and some models of this type of air conditioner are equipped with a transmitter that transmits wireless signals by using an attached outlet that has the function of receiving remote control signals. Operation of equipment other than air conditioners
There is something that controls stopping. The attached outlet is called an outlet unit, and the outlet unit receives a wireless signal from a remote controller and controls the power supply to the equipment connected to the outlet unit. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the outlet unit, and FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of how this outlet unit is used. 1 is the outlet unit body, 2 is the receiving section,
2 is a power outlet, 4 is a mounting bracket for attaching the receiver 2 to the power outlet unit body 1 or a pillar, etc., 5
is a screw that fixes the mounting bracket 4 to the outlet unit body 1, 6 is a plug, and 7 is a cord that electrically connects the receiver 2 and the outlet unit body.
It has an appropriate length so that the receiving section 2 and the outlet unit main body 1 can be used separately, and when the receiving section 4 and the outlet unit main body 1 are used in conjunction, the extra cord 7 is used as a cord. Storage part 8
It is stored in. 9 is a spare cord storage groove. Reference numeral 10 denotes a leg that comes into contact with the wall 11, etc., and keeps the wall 11, etc. and the outlet unit main body 1 in a parallel state when the outlet unit main body 1 is attached to the power outlet 12 installed on the wall 11, etc. It is. The above-mentioned outlet unit is installed by inserting the plug 6 into the power outlet 12 as shown in Fig. 3, and inserting the plug 14 of a commonly used device (a desk lamp in Fig. 3) 13 into the outlet 3 of the outlet unit. and use it. However, since the height of the surface of the wall 11 etc. and the surface of the power outlet 12 is not constant, the outlet unit main body 1 is installed at an angle, and the contact conduction area of the plug 6 is insufficient, resulting in poor contact. .

<Purpose> The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and when installing an outlet unit, it is possible to set the height of the legs in accordance with the height of the surface of the wall etc. and the surface of the power outlet. The purpose of this is to enable attachment that is less likely to cause poor contact.

<Example> An example of the outlet unit of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the foot of the outlet unit of the present invention, Figure 5 is an exploded view of the outlet unit of the present invention, and Figure 6 is the outlet unit of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of installing the receiving section shown in the figure on a pillar or the like. 7th
8 and 8 are side views of the outlet unit main body 1 of the present invention attached to a power outlet.
Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same or corresponding parts as in the conventional example, and the explanation thereof will be omitted. The outlet unit of the present invention has a cord storage section 8 as shown in Fig. 4.
Adjustable feet 15,1 are integrally molded with the cover 8a.
5 is set. The adjustment legs 15, 15 have grooves 15 of an appropriate pitch to adjust the height.
a, 15b... are provided. The case where this outlet unit is installed separately will be explained. First, as shown in Fig. 5, pull out the receiving part 2 from the mounting bracket 4, and then remove the mounting bracket 4 whose curved notches 4a, 4a are engaged with the pins 16, 16 of the outlet body 1 with an appropriate holding force. . Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting bracket 4 is removably attached to a desired position on the pillar 17 etc. by partially tightening the screws 18, 18, and the receiving part 2 is inserted and attached to the mounting bracket 4. The outlet unit main body 1 is attached by inserting a plug into a power outlet 12 installed on a wall 11 or the like. At that time, wall 1
If the height of the first level surface and the surface of the power outlet 12 is low, cut the grooves 15b, 15b of the adjustment feet 15, 15 shown in FIG. 4 and install them as shown in FIG. 7.
If the height of the surface of the wall 11 etc. and the surface of the power outlet 12 is high, cut grooves 15a of the adjustment feet 15, 15,
15a is cut and attached as shown in FIG. By doing so, the outlet unit main body 1 is mounted substantially parallel to the surface of the power outlet 12, and the plug 6 and the plug receiving blade of the power outlet 12 are connected with a sufficient contact conductive area. or,
Even if an external pressing force is applied, the above-mentioned stable mounting state is maintained.

The adjusting legs 15, 15 may be screwed with separate adjusting screws, and the shapes and mounting positions of the adjusting legs 15, 15 are not limited to those described above and shown in the drawings.

<Effects> According to the outlet unit of the present invention, even if the height between the power outlet and the wall surface etc. The device can be installed and held almost parallel to the surface of the outlet, and has the advantage of being able to be installed without causing poor contact.
