Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a plug-connected fixture and fixture unit to which a plug is connected for supplying power, communicating electronic data, and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the spread of portable communication terminals such as smartphones and laptops, there is a demand for facilities to which plugs for power supply and plugs for electronic data communication can be connected in various places such as airports, train stations, offices, etc. In response to such demands, a fixture unit has been developed in which a plug-connecting fixture is integrated into the fixture body such as a bench (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] The furniture unit described in Patent Document 1 has a plug-connection furniture with multiple plug connection parts arranged on the back of a bench, which is the furniture body. The plug-connection furniture has a support extending upward from the floor surface, and is connected to a beam member of the bench by a connecting frame extending horizontally forward from the support. In this furniture unit, the multiple plug connection parts are arranged close to the back of the bench on which a person sits, making it convenient for the person sitting on the bench to use devices such as a communication terminal.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-38545 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned conventional fixture units, the plug-connection fixture and the bench are connected by a connecting frame that extends horizontally forward from the support pillars of the plug-connection fixture, and there is a concern that the connecting frame, which has a large cross-section, may impair the appearance quality of the entire fixture unit. One possible solution to this problem is to reduce the cross section of the connecting frame. case Although this can avoid a decrease in appearance quality, it will result in a decrease in the support stability of the plug-connected fixtures.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a plug-connection fixture and a fixture unit that can increase support stability while suppressing deterioration in appearance quality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The plug connection fixture according to one aspect of the present invention includes a support structure. and the support structure A plug connection fixture supported via a connecting member to the A top portion facing the support structure in a plan view, a pair of inclined walls disposed on both sides of the top portion in a plan view and extending at an angle away from the support structure from the top portion, a plug connection portion disposed on each of the pair of inclined walls, and a plug connection portion disposed adjacent to each of the inclined walls in a plan view. Formed along the vertical direction two grooves in which a coupling portion to which the connecting member is to be coupled is disposed; The two grooves are formed symmetrically with their openings facing opposite sides in a horizontal cross section of the plug connection fixture. and each of the openings of the groove portion faces a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction facing the support structure, The plug connection fixture is characterized in that its axisymmetric position in a horizontal cross section is supported by the two connecting members.

[0008] With the above configuration, the coupling portion of the connecting member is coupled to the coupled portion of the plug connection fixture while being housed in the groove. Therefore, the coupling portion of the connecting member on the plug connection fixture side is hidden within the groove and is difficult to see from the outside. Also, the coupled portion of the plug connection fixture is disposed within the groove extending in the vertical direction. Therefore, by coupling the coupling portion of the connecting member to a wide range in the vertical direction within the groove, or to positions sufficiently spaced apart vertically, a plug connection fixture that is long in the vertical direction can be stably supported on the support structure. In this case, two different connecting members can be connected to the respective connecting portions of the two grooves. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the line-symmetrical position in the horizontal cross section of the plug-connecting fixture can be stably supported by the two connecting members.

[0009] The plug connection fixture may further include a skeletal member extending in the vertical direction, and a cover member covering the outside of the skeletal member and removably attached to the skeletal member, wherein at least a portion of the skeletal member is exposed inside the groove, and the connectable portion is positioned in the exposed portion of the skeletal member within the groove.

[0010] In this case, the cover member can be removed from the framework member without removing the connecting member from the plug connection fixture. Therefore, during maintenance, maintenance work can be performed by removing only the cover member. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, workability during maintenance can be improved.

[0011] The joinable parts may be arranged at a plurality of positions separated in the vertical direction within the groove, and the connecting member may be selectively coupled to the joinable parts at any of the positions.

[0012] In this case, the coupled part of the plug-connection fixture can be selected to match the height of the coupling part with the coupling member on the support structure side. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, it can be easily applied to support structures of various specifications that have different coupling part heights with the coupling member.

[0013] A fixture unit according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a fixture main body to be installed on a floor surface, a vertically long plug connection fixture arranged on one side of the fixture main body, and a connecting member that connects the plug connection fixture to the fixture main body, wherein the plug connection fixture has a top that faces the fixture main body in a plan view, a pair of inclined walls arranged on both sides of the top in a plan view and extending at an angle from the top in a direction away from the fixture main body, plug connection portions arranged on each of the pair of inclined walls, and and two grooves formed in the vertical direction at positions adjacent to each of the inclined walls, each having a connectable portion to which the connecting member is connected, wherein the two grooves are formed line-symmetrically with their openings facing opposite sides in the horizontal cross-section of the plug-connection fixture, and each of the openings of the grooves faces in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction facing the fixture main body, and the line-symmetric positions in the horizontal cross-section of the plug-connection fixture are supported by the two connecting members.

[0016] each The two connecting members joined to the groove portion may be arranged in a V-shape when viewed from above so that the distance between them gradually increases from the plug connection fixture toward the fixture body.

[0017] In this case, the load of the plug when connecting and disconnecting the plug can be stably supported by the fixture body through two connecting members arranged to open outward from the plug connection fixture toward the fixture body in a V-shape. Therefore, even if each connecting member is made small to improve the appearance quality, it is possible to prevent the plug connection fixture from becoming loose when connecting and disconnecting the plug. Effect of the Invention

[0021] In the plug connection fixture of the present invention, the connectable part to which the connecting member is connected is disposed in a groove along the vertical direction, and by connecting the connecting member to the connectable part within the groove, the connecting member can be stably supported on the support structure by the connecting member while suppressing an increase in size of the connecting member and external exposure of the connecting part of the connecting member and the plug connection fixture. Therefore, when the plug connection fixture of the present invention is adopted, it is possible to increase support stability while suppressing a decrease in appearance quality.

[0022] Furthermore, in the fixture unit of the present invention, a groove portion is formed on the outer surface of the plug connection fixture along the up-down direction, and the first coupling portion of the connecting member is coupled to the plug connection fixture within the groove portion, so that the plug connection fixture can be stably supported on the fixture body while suppressing an increase in size of the connecting member and external exposure of the coupling portion between the connecting member and the plug connection fixture. Therefore, when the fixture unit of the present invention is adopted, it is possible to increase the support stability of the plug connection fixture while suppressing a decrease in appearance quality.

The plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment is equipped with four similar connector blocks 10. Each connector block 10 has a power plug socket 11 to which a power plug can be removably connected on the end face exposed to the outside, and a communication plug socket 12 to which a communication plug can be removably connected. In this embodiment, the power plug socket 11 and the communication plug socket 12 form a plug connection section.

[0029] The plug connection fixture 3 includes a frame member 13 extending in the vertical direction, a front cover member 14F that covers the front side of the frame member 13, and a rear cover member 14R that covers the rear side of the frame member 13. The frame member 13 includes each connector block 10. ofIt supports cables (power cable and signal cable, not shown) that are connected to each of the sockets 11, 12. The cables drawn out from the bottom of the framework member 13 are connected to the power wiring and signal wiring of the facility in which the furniture unit 1 is installed. In addition, the front cover member 14F and the rear cover member 14R are detachably attached to the framework member 13 by screws or the like.

[0030] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the framework member 13 as viewed from the rear side. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a front view (a), a side view (b) and a plan view (c) of the rear cover member 14R. The front cover member 14F has the same structure as the rear cover member 14R. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 2. 4, the framework member 13 includes a base plate 13a placed on a floor surface F, a pair of side frames 13b extending vertically upward from the base plate 13a, and a plurality of connecting frames 13c extending horizontally to connect the pair of side frames 13b to each other. The pair of side frames 13b are disposed on the base plate 13a at a distance from each other in the left-right direction.

[0031] The base plate 13a is made of a rectangular metal plate that is longer in the front-to-rear direction than in the left-to-right direction. The left and right side frames 13b have a cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 6) in which a metal plate that is long in the up-down direction is bent multiple times in a direction intersecting the up-down direction. Display boards 15 made of acrylic resin or the like are attached to the upper ends of the left and right side frames 13b. On the display boards 15, a diagram of a plug or the like is displayed so that it can be recognized from the outside that there is a fixture to which a plug can be connected. The connecting frame 13c is made of a metal plate.

[0032] A metal fixing piece 16 for screwing the rear cover member 14R is installed near the upper end of the rear surface of the left and right side frames 13b. A holding plate 17 for holding two connector blocks 10 is fixed below the installation position of the fixing piece 16 in the upper region of the rear surface of the left and right side frames 13b. The holding plate 17 has a shape in which the center part in the left and right direction protrudes rearward in an approximately V-shape. The left and right side edges of the holding plate 17 are joined to the rear surfaces of the left and right side frames 13b. The left and right inclined walls sandwiching the central top of the holding plate 17 are formed with fitting and fixing openings 18 for fitting and fixing the corresponding connector blocks 10. The left and right fitting and fixing openings 18 are formed at different height positions in the up-down direction. Each connector block 10 is fixed to the fitting and fixing opening 18 so that the insertion openings 11, 12 face in a direction approximately perpendicular to the inclined walls of the holding plate 17. As a result, the sockets 11, 12 of the left connector block 10 on the rear side face diagonally rear to the left, and the sockets 11, 12 of the right connector block 10 on the rear side face diagonally rear to the right.

[0033] In Fig. 4, the skeleton member 13 is viewed from the rear side, so the structure on the front side cannot be seen, but the front side of the skeleton member 13 has the same structure as the rear side. Fixed pieces 16 and holding plates 17 with the same structure as those on the rear side are attached to the front sides of the left and right side frames 13b at the same height as those on the rear side. Corresponding connector blocks 10 are fitted and fixed in the left and right fitting fixing openings 18 of the holding plate 17 on the front side. As a result, the insertion openings 11, 12 of the left connector block 10 on the front side face diagonally forward to the left, and the insertion openings 11, 12 of the right connector block 10 on the front side face diagonally forward to the right. The arrows in FIG. 3 indicate the directions in which plugs are attached to and detached from the front and rear connector blocks 10.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 6, the left and right side frames 13b have a substantially hat-shaped horizontal cross section. In detail, the left and right side frames 13b have an outer wall 13b-1 facing outward in the left-right direction, a rear wall 13b-2 and a front wall 13b-3 that extend from the rear and front ends of the outer wall 13b-1 while bending inward in the left-right direction, a rear flange 13b-4 that extends from the inner end of the rear wall 13b-2 while bending backward, and a front flange 13b-5 that extends from the inner end of the front wall 13b-3 while bending forward. The left and right side edges of the rear holding plate 17 are fastened and fixed to the rear wall 13b-2 of the left and right side frames 13b by screws 19. Similarly, the left and right side edges of the front holding plate 17 are fastened and fixed to the front wall 13b-3 of the left and right side frames 13b by screws 19.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 5, the rear cover member 14R is made of a vertically long metal plate bent so that the center in the left-right direction protrudes rearward in a substantially V-shape. The front cover member 14F has the same structure as the rear cover. Therefore, only the detailed structure of the rear cover member 14R will be described below, and the detailed structure of the front cover member 14F will not be described.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the rear cover member 14R has inclined walls 14b disposed on both the left and right sides of a top portion 14a that protrudes rearward. On the left and right inclined walls 14b, substantially rectangular openings 20 are formed at positions corresponding to the left and right fitting and fixing openings 18 of the rear holding plate 17 to expose to the outside a portion of the end face of the connector block 10 held in each fitting and fixing opening 18. The insertion openings 11, 12 on the end face of each connector block 10 are exposed to the outside of the rear cover member 14R through the openings 20.

[0037] Reinforcing plates 21 are attached to a plurality of locations spaced apart in the vertical direction inside the rear cover member 14R. Each reinforcing plate 21 is attached to the left and right inclined walls 14b inside the rear cover member 14R by welding or the like. A tongue piece 22 protruding rearward is provided at the upper end of the reinforcing plate 21 disposed near the upper end of the rear cover member 14R. The tongue piece 22 is placed on the upper surface of the fixed piece 16 of the framework member 13 shown in FIG. 4 and is fastened and fixed to the fixed piece 16 by a screw (not shown). The upper end of the rear cover member 14R is open, and the opening is detachably closed by a separate cover member 23 shown in FIG. 1. The tongue piece 22 is screwed to the fixed piece 16 through the opening at the upper end before the cover member 23 is attached to the upper end of the rear cover member 14R.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 6, the left and right extending ends of the left and right inclined walls 14b of the rear cover member 14R are provided with bent walls 24 that are bent at an acute angle inward in the left and right direction. When the rear cover member 14R is assembled to the skeleton member 13, the tip of the bent wall 24 abuts against or is close to the surface of the outer wall 13b-1 of the side frame 13b of the skeleton member 13. Note that, as shown in Fig. 6, when the front cover member 14F is assembled to the skeleton member 13, the tip of the bent wall 24 of the front cover member 14F also abuts against or is close to the surface of the outer wall 13b-1.

[0039] At this time, the outer wall 13b-1 of the skeleton member 13 and each of the bent walls 24 of the rear cover member 14R and the front cover member 14F form a groove 25 having a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens outward in the left-right direction. The groove 25 is formed on the outer surface of the plug connection fixture 3 so as to extend along the vertical direction. In addition, the two grooves 25 on both the left and right sides are formed in line symmetry with respect to the center line o1 connecting the top 14a of the front cover member 14F and the rear cover member 14R in the diamond-shaped horizontal cross section of the plug connection fixture 3, as shown in FIG. 3. In the outer wall 13b-1 forming the bottom surface of each groove 25, a pair of screw holes 27, which are joint parts to which the connecting member 4 is joined, are formed at multiple locations spaced apart in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, a part of the framework member 13 is exposed inside each groove 25, and the screw hole 27, which is the part to be joined, is disposed in the exposed part.

[0040] Furthermore, locking claws 26 protruding forward are provided at one location near the upper end and two locations near the lower end of the extending ends of the left and right inclined walls 14b of the rear cover member 14R. Each of these locking claws 26 is inserted into a slit (not shown) formed in the side frame 13b (rear wall 13b-2) of the framework member 13, and in this state is screwed to the side frame 13b.

[0041] It should be noted that the base plate 13a at the lower end of the framework member 13 shown in FIG. 4 is covered with a base cover 37 which is a decorative plate as shown in FIGS.

[0042] Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of part VII in Fig. 1, showing the connecting portion of the connecting member 4 on the plug-connection fixture 3 side. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the connecting member 4, and Fig. 8(a) and (b) sequentially show the steps of connecting the connecting member 4 to the support rod 50 of the bench 2. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the connecting member 4, and Fig. 9(a) and (b) sequentially show the steps of assembling the connecting member 4. In this embodiment, two symmetrical connecting members 4 are used. Each connecting member 4 has a first connecting portion 28 connected to the plug-connecting fixture 3, a second connecting portion 29 connected to the support rod 50 of the bench 2, and an arm portion 30 connecting the first connecting portion 28 and the second connecting portion 29.

[0043] The first coupling part 28 is composed of a rectangular metal block that is long in the vertical direction. The first coupling part 28 is placed in the groove part 25 of the plug connection fixture 3. The thickness of the first coupling part 28 in the left-right direction is set to be approximately the same as the depth of the groove part 25. Screw holes 31 are formed near the upper and lower ends of the first coupling part 28. These screw holes 31 are aligned with any pair of screw holes 27 in the groove part 25, and fixing screws 32 are inserted as shown in FIG. 7. The first coupling part 28 is coupled to the groove part 25 of the plug connection fixture 3 by tightening the fixing screws 32 into the screw holes 27 in this way.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 8, the second joint 29 is composed of an upper clamp 29a fitted to the upper half of the support rod 50 of the chaise lounge 2, and a lower clamp 29b fitted to the lower half of the support rod 50 of the chaise lounge 2. The upper clamp 29a and the lower clamp 29b are formed of metal plates. The upper clamp 29a includes an upper wall 29a-1 that abuts on the upper surface of the support rod 50, a rear wall 29a-2 that abuts on the rear surface of the support rod 50, and a front wall 29a-3 that abuts on the front surface of the support rod 50, and the vertical extension length of the rear wall 29a-2 is set longer than the vertical extension length of the front wall 29a-3. The lower ends of the rear wall 29a-2 and the front wall 29a-3 are each provided with a joint flange 29a-4 that is bent outward.

[0045] The lower clamp 29b includes a lower wall 29b-1 that contacts the lower surface of the support rod 50, a rear wall 29b-2 that contacts the rear surface of the support rod 50, and a front wall 29b-3 that contacts the front surface of the support rod 50, and the vertical extension length of the front wall 29b-3 is set to be longer than the vertical extension length of the rear wall 29b-2. Joint flanges 29b-4 that are bent outward are provided at the lower ends of the rear wall 29b-2 and the front wall 29b-3, respectively. The second connecting portion 29 is formed by fitting the upper clamp 29a and the lower clamp 29b to the support rod 50 of the chaise lounge 2 from above and below, respectively, and then fastening the connecting flanges 29a-4 and 29b-4 to each other with a screw 33. Support rod 50 It is fixed.

[0046] The arm portion 30 is formed of a metal rectangular tube member having a vertically long cross section. The first connecting portion 28 is integrally connected to the rear end of the arm portion 30 by welding or the like, and the upper clamp 29a of the second connecting portion 29 is detachably connected to the front end of the arm portion 30 by screw fastening (see screw 34 in FIG. 9 ) or the like. The arm portion 30 has a vertically long cross section shape in which the vertical width is wider than the horizontal width, but the vertical width of the arm portion 30 is narrower than the vertical width of the first connecting portion 28. In other words, the vertical width of the first connecting portion 28 is set wider than the vertical width of the arm portion 30. Furthermore, the upper clamp 29a of the second connecting portion 29 is detachably connected to the front end of the arm portion 30, so that it can be replaced with a different upper clamp 29a and lower clamp 29b of different size and shape depending on the size and shape of the support rod 50 to be attached.

[0047] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, two different connecting members 4 are connected to the left and right grooves 25 of the plug connection fixture 3. The connecting members 4 connected to each groove 25 are arranged in a V-shape so that the distance between them gradually increases from the plug connection fixture 3 toward the bench 2 (furniture body) when viewed from above, and in this state, the front ends are connected to the support rods 50 of the bench 2.

[0048] As described above, the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment has a groove 25 extending in the up-down direction formed on its outer surface, and a screw hole 27 (joined portion) to which the first joining portion 28 of the connecting member 4 is joined is disposed within this groove 25. Therefore, by joining the connecting member 4 to the screw hole 27 portion (joined portion) within the groove 25, the plug connection fixture 3 can be stably supported on the bench 2 by the connecting member 4 while suppressing an increase in size of the connecting member 4 and external exposure of the joining portion between the connecting member 4 and the plug connection fixture 3. Therefore, when the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment is adopted, it is possible to increase support stability while suppressing a decrease in appearance quality.

[0049] Furthermore, the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment has two grooves 25 to which different connecting members 4 are joined, and the two grooves 25 are formed so that their openings face opposite sides and are line-symmetrical about the center line o1 in the horizontal cross section of the plug connection fixture 3. Therefore, when the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment is adopted, the line-symmetrical positions in the horizontal cross section of the plug connection fixture 3 can be stably supported by the two connecting members 4.

[0050] The plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment includes a skeletal member 13 extending in the vertical direction, and a front cover member 14F and a rear cover member 14R detachably attached to the skeletal member 13, and the groove portion 25 is formed by the skeletal member 13, the front cover member 14F, and the rear cover member 14R. A screw hole 27, which is a joint portion in the groove portion 25, is formed in the skeletal member 13. Therefore, it is possible to perform maintenance on the inside of the plug connection fixture 3 by removing at least one of the front cover member 14F and the rear cover member 14R without removing the connecting member 4 from the plug connection fixture 3. Therefore, when the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment is adopted, it is possible to improve the workability during maintenance.

[0051] Furthermore, in the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment, pairs of screw holes 27, which are the coupled parts, are formed in multiple locations spaced apart in the vertical direction within the groove portion 25, and a first coupling portion 28 of the connecting member 4 can be selectively coupled to any of the pairs of screw holes 27. This makes it possible to change the height of the coupling portion between the coupling member 4 and the plug connection fixture 3 in accordance with the height of the coupling portion with the coupling member 4 on the bench 2 (support structure, fixture body) side. Therefore, when the plug connection fixture 3 of this embodiment is adopted, it can be easily applied to benches 2 (support structure, fixture body) of various specifications having different coupling portion heights with the coupling member 4.

[0052] Furthermore, in the fixture unit 1 of this embodiment, the two connecting members 4 joined to different grooves 25 are arranged in a V-shape in top view so that the distance between them gradually increases from the plug connection fixture 3 toward the bench 2 (furniture body). This allows the bench 2 to stably support the load of the plug when connecting or disconnecting it to or from the plug connection portion (receptacles 11, 12) of the plug connection fixture 3. Therefore, when the fixture unit 1 of this embodiment is adopted, even if each connecting member 4 is made small to improve the appearance quality, it is possible to prevent the plug connection fixture 3 from becoming loose when the plug is connected or disconnected.

[0053] Furthermore, in the fixture unit 1 of this embodiment, the vertical width of the first joint portion 28 of the connecting member 4 is set to be wider than the vertical width of the arm portion 30 of the connecting member 4. For this reason, by widening the vertical width of the first joint portion 28, it is possible to increase the support stability for the plug-connected fixture 3, while by narrowing the vertical width of the arm portion 30 exposed to the outside of the plug-connected fixture 3, it is possible to further improve the appearance quality.

[0054] Furthermore, in the furniture unit 1 of this embodiment, the second joint portion 29 of the connecting member 4 is detachably joined to the arm portion 30 of the connecting member 4. Therefore, when the furniture unit 1 of this embodiment is adopted, it can be easily adapted to various benches 2 (furniture main body) with different specifications by replacing the second joint portion 29 of the connecting member 4 with one of a different size or shape.

[0055] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, the fixture unit 1 in the above embodiment is configured by connecting the plug-connected fixture 3 to the bench 2, which is the fixture main body, but the fixture main body constituting the fixture unit is not limited to the bench, and may be other fixtures such as a desk or a cart. Furthermore, in the plug-connected fixture 3 in the above embodiment, the front cover member 14F and the rear cover 14B are detachably attached to the front side and the rear side of the framework member 13, respectively, but the cover member may be attached only to either the front side or the rear side of the framework member 13. Furthermore, the support structure that supports the plug-connection fixture via the connecting member is not limited to a fixture such as a bench, but may be a wall of a building, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
