Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a device that supplies power to each panel when forming a partition by butting the side edges of a plurality of partition panels (hereinafter simply referred to as panels) together. It is related to.

[Conventional technology]

An outlet installed in the panel can be used to supply power to electrical equipment on the floor or desk nearby, or if the panel is a movable panel suspended from a rail, it drives pressure contact rods at both the top and bottom ends of the panel to fix the panel. Various devices have already been provided that supply power to each panel from a power supply provided at a key point on the wall in order to supply power to the motor within the panel.

For example, in the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-142317, each panel is provided with a movable power supply outlet and a power receiving plug, and when the panels are installed in series, the outlet and the plug are connected. It's becoming like that. Individual connections manually are troublesome.

In addition, in the power supply device for a movable panel disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-91782, a current collector provided on the panel receives power from a power supply bar provided within the rail that suspends the panel. There is.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the method described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-142317, individual connections manually are troublesome.

What is described in Utility Model Application No. 60-91782,
The contact between the power supply bar and the current collector is uncertain, and there are many exposed parts of the power supply circuit, so there is a risk of electrical leakage.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, in a plurality of partition panels whose side edges are butted against each other to form a partition, magnets that can attract each other when both adjacent panels are butted are placed at equal heights on both side end surfaces of each panel. and a magnetically sensitive body, a power receiving terminal biased to protrude outward by a spring, and a pair of connectors each having a power feeding terminal that can come into contact with the power receiving terminal when both adjacent panels are brought together. As a result, the above problems are solved.

[Effect]

In the device of the present invention, when the ends of both panels are butted together, the power supply terminal of one panel and the power reception terminal of the other panel are automatically and reliably pressure-contacted, and the power supply terminal of one panel is pressed against the other panel. If the configured partition is dismantled, the power supply will be automatically cut off.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 schematically shows a partition to which the present invention is applied, in which 1 is a panel, 2 is an outlet for supplying power to nearby electrical equipment, and 3 is a column erected on the floor.

Concave grooves 4 and 5 facing in the vertical direction are formed on the right side end surfaces of the column 3 and each panel 1 in FIG. 6 is formed.

A power feeding connector 7 and a power receiving connector 8 are provided at equal heights on the upper part of each of the grooves 4 and 5 and the protruding strip 6, and both connectors 7 and 8 in the same panel 1 and the outlet 2 are connected in parallel.

The power supply connector 7 on the pillar 3 is connected to a power source (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, three copper power supply terminals 11 arranged vertically are provided in a case 10 made of an electrically insulating material in the power supply connector 7, and near both upper and lower ends of the case 10. , magnet 12
is installed.

The inner end (left end in FIG. 3) of each power supply terminal 11 is connected to the power supply line 9, and the outer end is connected to the case 10.
It protrudes slightly from the outer surface.

Three copper power receiving terminals 14 are provided in the case 13 of the power receiving connector 8 made of an electrically insulating material at locations corresponding to the power feeding terminals 11 of the power feeding connector 7. An iron piece 1 is placed at the location facing each magnet 12.
5 is attached.

Each power receiving terminal 14 is biased outward by a compression spring 16, and its inner end is connected to the power supply line 9, and its outer end protrudes slightly from the outer surface of the case 13.

The panel 1 and pillar 3 configured as described above are
When the side end surfaces of the panels 1 or the side end surfaces of the panel 1 and the support columns 3 are brought into contact with each other and the concave grooves 4 or 5 are engaged with the protruding strips 6, the outer surfaces of the power feeding connector 7 and the power receiving connector 8 are overlapped with each other. , magnet 12
attracts the iron piece 15.

Then, the outer end of the power supply terminal 11 and the outer end of the power receiving terminal 14, which is biased by the spring 16, are pressed into contact with each other, and are pushed from the support 3 to the panel 1 on the left side of FIG. 1, and then to the panel 1 on the right side in FIG. Power is supplied to the outlets 2 of each panel 1 at the same time.

In addition, when the panel 1 is a movable panel suspended from a rail, power can be supplied to a motor that drives the upper and lower press-contact rods for fixing the panel to the ceiling and floor.

If the panels 1 connected in this way are forcibly pulled apart against the magnet 12, the power supply is cut off.

[Effect of idea]

Configure a partition with many panels,
Alternatively, at the same time as the constructed partition is dismantled, power is automatically supplied to each panel or the power supply is cut off. Moreover, it is extremely easy to operate, and there is no fear of forgetting to make electrical connections or disconnections.

In addition, the power supply terminal and power reception terminal are pressure-welded by the force of the spring, so the connection is perfect.
In addition, there are few exposed parts of the power supply circuit, so there is no risk of electrical leakage.
