DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The application target of the present disclosure is not particularly limited. For example, as described above, it is a flash control device, a flash device, and a runway flash device control system. In addition, it can also be applied to systems that transmit and receive control signals by wire, such as traffic signals and train signals.

[0014] Next, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The present disclosure is not limited or restricted by the following embodiments. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. The descriptions of the respective embodiments can be mutually incorporated. Also, in the drawings, for convenience of explanation, there are parts where the structure of each part is appropriately simplified and shown, and the dimensional ratios of each part are different from the actual ones and may be shown schematically.

[0015] [Embodiment 1] This embodiment relates to the power supply box of the present disclosure.

[0016] First, the configuration of an example of a power supply box related to the present disclosure is shown in the plan view of FIG. 4. As shown in the figure, in this power supply box 1, wiring inlets 11a and 11b are provided on the right and left sides of the lower side surface of the figure, respectively. This power supply box 1 further includes terminal blocks 12a and 12b. The terminal block 12a is an 8P terminal block and is provided in the right half of the power supply box 1 such that the longitudinal direction of the terminal block 12a is substantially parallel to the wiring inlet direction. The terminal block 12b is a 6P terminal block and is provided near the wiring inlet 11b in the left half of the power supply box 1 such that the longitudinal direction of the terminal block 12b is substantially perpendicular to the wiring inlet direction. As shown in the figure, since the terminal block 12a is provided at a position that does not obstruct the wiring from the wiring inlet 11a, the wiring 13a can be drawn from the wiring inlet 11a. On the other hand, since the terminal block 12b is provided at a position that obstructs the wiring from the wiring inlet 11b, the wiring 13b cannot be drawn from the wiring inlet 11b.

[0017] Next, the configuration of an example of the power supply box of the present disclosure is shown in the plan view of FIG. 1. As shown in the figure, this power supply box 1 is the same as the power supply box in FIG. 4 except that the left terminal block 12b is provided near the left end in the power supply box 1 such that the longitudinal direction of the terminal block 12b is substantially parallel to the drawing-in direction of the wiring 13b. In this power supply box 1, the left terminal block 12b is provided at a position that does not obstruct the drawing-in of the wiring 13b from the wiring inlet 11b. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the wiring 13b drawn from the wiring inlet 11b can be connected to the terminal block 12b. Note that the wiring 13a drawn from the right wiring inlet 11a can also be connected to the terminal block 12a as shown in the figure. Further, as shown in the figure, the power supply box 1 in FIG. 1 further includes a four-way branch pipe 14, and the wiring 13b drawn from the wiring inlet 11b is connected to the terminal block 11b through the four-way branch pipe 14. In the power supply box of the present disclosure, such a branch pipe may be used, but it may not be used. Also, the branch pipe is a four-way branch pipe in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto, and any branch pipe may be used.

[0018] In addition, in the power supply box of the present disclosure, the terminal block is not particularly limited, and for example, one or more types may be used from among an 8P terminal block, a 6P terminal block, a 4P terminal block, etc. For example, in FIG. 1, the terminal block 11b on the left side uses a 6P terminal block. By using a 6P terminal block instead of an 8P terminal block as the terminal block 11b, the terminal block 11b does not take up much space and it becomes easier to draw in the wiring 13b.

[0019] [Embodiment 2] This embodiment relates to the control device of the present disclosure.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of the control device of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 101 includes a control signal transmission unit 111, a control signal reception unit 112, a control signal generation unit 113, and a control signal control unit 114. Although not shown, the control device 101 further includes the power supply box 1 of FIG. 1. With this power supply box 1, the on / off switching of the power switch of the control device 101 can be performed.

[0021] The control signal transmission unit 111 transmits a signal to the device to be controlled. The control signal transmission unit 111 may be any device capable of transmitting a signal to the device to be controlled, and examples include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a microprocessor, a microcontroller (microcomputer), etc.

[0022] The control signal reception unit 112 receives a signal from the device to be controlled. The control signal reception unit 112 may be any device capable of receiving a signal from the device to be controlled, and examples include a CPU, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, etc.

[0023] The control signal generation unit 113 generates a control signal. The control signal generation unit 113 may be any device capable of generating the control signal, and examples include a CPU, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, etc.

[0024] The control signal control unit 114 controls the control signal. The control signal control unit 114 may be any device capable of controlling the control signal, such as a CPU, a microprocessor, a microcontroller, etc.

[0025] Next, an example of the processing (control method of the present disclosure) in the present device 101 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG. 2 and the flowchart of FIG. 3. However, the control method of the present disclosure is not limited to the execution order of each step as long as it includes at least once in this order the control signal generation step, the corresponding control signal control step, and the control signal transmission step, and if possible, a plurality of steps may be executed simultaneously. Also, the number of times each step is executed is not particularly limited, and it may be once or multiple times (two or more times).

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 3, first, the control signal transmission unit 111 generates a control signal (S1).

[0027] Next, the control signal control unit 114 controls the control signal (S2).

[0028] Next, the control signal generation unit 113 transmits a signal to the flash device, which is the device to be controlled (S3). As a result, the flash device is instructed to emit light.

[0029] Next, the control signal reception unit 112 receives a signal from the flash device, which is the device to be controlled (S4).

[0030] [Embodiment 3] The program of the present embodiment is a program capable of executing the control method of the second embodiment on a computer. Also, the program of the present embodiment may be recorded, for example, on a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited, and examples include a read-only memory (ROM), a hard disk (HD), an optical disk, a floppy (registered trademark) disk (FD), etc.
