Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] As described above, in order to supply power to an electric device including an electronic device such as a notebook computer or a tablet terminal, it is necessary to accommodate a power strip in a wiring accommodation section or to provide an outlet plug in a top plate accessory. Therefore, in any case, it is necessary to connect a power cable connected to an external power source to the top plate accessory. Accordingly, the shape of the top plate accessory and the installation position of the top plate accessory are restricted by the power cable connected to the external power source.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to prevent a top plate accessory from being restricted by the installation of a power cable.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] As means for solving the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention is an electric device connection accessory, which includes a base portion that can be placed on the top plate of the top plate accessory and has an accommodation space inside, a battery attachment portion that is supported by the base portion and to which a battery can be attached, a terminal attachment portion that is supported by the base portion at a position different from the battery attachment portion and to which an external connection terminal of an electric device can be attached, and internal wiring that is accommodated in the accommodation space and connects the battery attachment portion and the terminal attachment portion.

[0009] The electrical equipment connection fixture according to the first aspect of the present invention is a fixture used by being placed on the top plate of the fixture with a top plate. The electrical equipment connection fixture according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided with a battery mounting portion, and a battery can be mounted. Further, the electrical equipment connection fixture according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a terminal mounting portion to which an external connection terminal of the electrical equipment can be mounted, and power can be supplied from the battery to the electrical equipment via internal wiring. That is, according to the electrical equipment connection fixture of the first aspect of the present invention, power can be supplied from the battery to the electrical equipment, and it becomes possible to eliminate the need for power supply from the fixture with a top plate to the electrical equipment. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connection fixture of the first aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to prevent the fixture with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.

[0010] Also, in the electrical equipment connection fixture according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is also possible to use the terminal mounting portion for signal transmission. In such a case, the electrical equipment connection fixture according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a device that performs signal transmission with the electrical equipment, and supplies power from the battery to the device. The external electrical equipment is connected to the device via the terminal mounting portion. Even in such a case, according to the electrical equipment connection fixture of the first aspect of the present invention, power can be supplied from the battery to the device that performs signal transmission with the electrical equipment, and it becomes possible to eliminate the need for power supply from the fixture with a top plate. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connection fixture of the first aspect of the present invention, it becomes possible to prevent the fixture with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.

[0011] The second aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration including a converter that converts the DC power output from the battery attached to the battery mounting portion into AC power in the above first aspect.

[0012] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the DC power output from the battery can be converted into AC power by the converter and supplied to the terminal mounting portion. For this reason, it becomes possible to supply power to a general electrical equipment that can be supplied with power from a 100V commercial power supply.

[0013] The third aspect of the present invention adopts the configuration in which, in the second aspect, the converter is arranged in the accommodation space.

[0014] According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the converter is arranged in the accommodation space of the base portion, it is possible to prevent the converter from being visually recognized from the outside.

[0015] The fourth aspect of the present invention adopts the configuration in which, in any one of the first to third aspects, a top plate for connection fittings is provided, which is supported from below by the base portion and has a working surface provided on at least a part of the upper surface.

[0016] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a working surface is provided on at least a part of the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings. Therefore, an operator can use a part of the surface of the electrical equipment connection fittings as a working surface. Thus, it is possible to supplement the working surface of the top plate-equipped fittings that has decreased by placing the electrical equipment connection fittings on the top plate of the top plate-equipped fittings with the working surface of the top plate for connection fittings.

[0017] The fifth aspect of the present invention adopts the configuration in which, in the fourth aspect, the battery mounting portion has a mounting tray on which the battery can be detachably attached and detached in the vertical direction, and the mounting tray is arranged adjacent to the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings.

[0018] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the mounting tray of the battery mounting portion is arranged adjacent to the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings. Therefore, for example, it is possible to place the battery removed from the battery mounting portion on the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings. Thus, in the case of battery replacement work or mounting work, it is possible to temporarily place the battery on the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings and easily attach the battery placed on the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings to the adjacent mounting tray. Therefore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the usability of the electrical equipment connection fittings.

[0019] Further, according to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a mounting tray is disposed at a height adjacent to the upper surface of a top plate for connection fittings supported from below by the base portion. Therefore, by placing the base portion on the top plate of the furniture with a top plate, the mounting tray can be disposed at a position higher than the top plate of the furniture with a top plate. Accordingly, the connection portion between the battery and the battery mounting portion can be separated from the top plate of the furniture with a top plate by the mounting tray. Thus, even if, for example, an operator spills a liquid on the top plate of the furniture with a top plate, it is possible to prevent the liquid from reaching the connection portion between the battery and the battery mounting portion and causing a failure.

[0020] A sixth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the fifth aspect, an opening is formed in the top plate for connection fittings, and the mounting tray is disposed in the opening.

[0021] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the mounting tray is disposed in the opening provided in the top plate for connection fittings, the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings is disposed so as to surround the mounting tray. Therefore, a working surface can be formed around the mounting tray. Accordingly, regardless of the direction from which the battery replacement operation is performed around the electrical equipment connection fittings, it is possible to temporarily place the replacement battery on the upper surface of the top plate for connection fittings.

[0022] A seventh aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the battery mounting portion is disposed in the accommodation space of the base portion, and the accommodation space of the base portion accommodates at least a part of the battery attached to the battery mounting portion.

[0023] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since a part of the battery is accommodated in the accommodation space of the base portion, it is possible to prevent the battery from protruding greatly from the base portion. Further, according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the connection portion between the battery and the battery mounting portion can be arranged in the accommodation space of the base portion. Therefore, even if, for example, an operator spills liquid on the top plate of the top plate fixture, it is possible to avoid the liquid reaching the connection portion between the battery and the battery mounting portion and causing a failure.

[0024] The eighth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in any one of the first to seventh aspects described above, wherein the base portion includes a base portion main body having the accommodation space and a low-friction surface having a lower coefficient of friction than the lower surface of the base portion main body and connected to the lower surface of the base portion main body.

[0025] According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the low-friction surface of the low-friction portion contacts the upper surface of the top plate of the top plate fixture. Therefore, it is possible to easily move the electrical equipment connection fixture as compared with the case where the base portion main body contacts the upper surface of the top plate of the top plate fixture. Further, according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the surface of the top plate of the top plate fixture from being damaged when the electrical equipment connection fixture is moved.

[0026] The eleventh aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in any one of the first to tenth aspects described above, wherein the battery is provided.

[0027] According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the battery becomes a part of the electrical equipment connection fixture. Therefore, for example, it is possible to design the battery specifically for the electrical equipment connection fixture.

Effects of the Invention

[0028] The present invention relates to an electrical equipment connecting fixture, comprising a base portion that can be placed on the top plate of a fixture with a top plate and is provided with an accommodation space inside, a battery mounting portion supported by the base portion and to which a battery can be attached, a terminal mounting portion supported by the base portion at a position different from the battery mounting portion and to which an external connection terminal of an electrical equipment can be attached, and internal wiring accommodated in the accommodation space and connecting the battery mounting portion and the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the fixture with a top plate from being restricted by the installation of a power cable.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0030] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of an electrical equipment connecting fixture according to the present invention will be described.

[0031] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment. The electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment is a fixture that supplies the power of the attached battery B to the electrical equipment D. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment is used in a state of being placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate.

[0032] Note that the electrical equipment D to which power is supplied from the battery B via the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a notebook personal computer can be powered as the electrical equipment D. Further, examples of the electrical equipment D include a portable tablet terminal, a wireless communication router, a desktop electric stand, a desktop fan, a display, and the like.

[0033] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment includes a base portion 2, a top plate 3 for the connecting fixture, a battery mounting unit 4 (battery mounting portion), a power tap 5 (terminal mounting portion), and an internal wiring 6.

[0034] The base portion 2 is a member that can be placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate and has an accommodation space K provided therein, and directly or indirectly supports the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture, the battery mounting unit 4, the power tap 5, and the internal wiring 6. This base portion 2 has a base portion main body 2a and a felt plate 2b (low friction portion).

[0035] The base portion main body 2a has an annular peripheral wall portion 2c and a bottom plate portion 2d provided so as to straddle the peripheral wall portion 2c. The peripheral wall portion 2c is formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape in plan view and has two long side portions 2c1 and two short side portions 2c2. The two long side portions 2c1 are arranged parallel to each other and opposed. Also, the two short side portions 2c2 are arranged parallel to each other and opposed. By these long side portions 2c1 and short side portions 2c2 being curved and connected to each other, the peripheral wall portion 2c has a rectangular shape with rounded corners that are curved in plan view.

[0036] The peripheral wall portion 2c is formed with a constant thickness dimension. The space surrounded by such a peripheral wall portion 2c is an accommodation space K for accommodating the internal wiring 6 and the like. That is, the base portion 2 includes a base portion main body 2a having the accommodation space K.

[0037] Also, on each long side portion 2c1 of the peripheral wall portion 2c, there is provided an outlet opening 2e that penetrates the long side portion 2c1 in the horizontal direction and connects the accommodation space K and the outside of the peripheral wall portion 2c. Two outlet openings 2e are provided adjacent to each other in the extending direction of the long side portion 2c1 on each long side portion 2c1. These outlet openings 2e are openings for exposing the plug insertion port 5a provided in the power tap 5. Also, these outlet openings 2e are disposed above the bottom plate portion 2d.

[0038] The bottom plate portion 2d is a flat plate-like portion provided so as to connect one long side portion 2c1 and the other long side portion 2c1 of the peripheral wall portion 2c. The bottom plate portion 2d is connected to the lower portion of the peripheral wall portion 2c so that the lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c.

[0039] Such a bottom plate portion 2d supports the battery mounting unit 4 from below. Also, the bottom plate portion 2d supports the power tap 5 from below as necessary. For example, when the power tap 5 is fixed to the peripheral wall portion 2c with screws or the like, the bottom plate portion 2d does not have to support the power tap 5.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, a gap is formed between the bottom plate portion 2d and the short side portion 2c2 of the peripheral wall portion 2c. This gap exposes the accommodation space K. That is, it is possible for an operator to insert a hand or take in and out articles through the gap between the bottom plate portion 2d and the short side portion 2c2 into the accommodation space K.

[0041] As described above, the lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 2d are flush with each other by being arranged at the same height. The lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a is formed by the lower surfaces of these peripheral wall portions 2c and the bottom plate portion 2d. The lower surface 2a1 of this base portion main body 2a is the mounting surface of the felt plate 2b.

[0042] Such a base portion main body 2a is formed by, for example, sheet metal working a plate member made of a metal material such as stainless steel. However, the base portion main body 2a can also be formed of materials of other materials.

[0043] The felt plate 2b is a plate-shaped member formed of felt. The friction coefficient of the surface where the felt is exposed of this felt plate 2b is smaller than the friction coefficient of the surface of the base portion main body 2a. The felt plate 2b has felt exposed at least on the lower surface. That is, the lower surface of the felt plate 2b has a smaller friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a.

[0044] The felt plate 2b is connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a by an adhesive or the like. The felt plate 2b is formed in the shape of the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a (that is, the combined shape of the lower surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the bottom plate portion 2d), and covers the entire lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a.

[0045] The lower surface of such a felt plate 2b is a low friction surface 2b1 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a. That is, in the present embodiment, the base portion 2 has a low friction surface 2b1 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a and includes a felt plate 2b connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a.

[0046] By providing such a felt plate 2b, the coefficient of friction of the lower surface of the base portion 2 is smaller than that without the felt plate 2b. The low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b is a contact surface that contacts the top plate 51 of the top plate accessory 50 from above. That is, with the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b in contact with the top plate 51, the electrical equipment connection accessory 1 of the present embodiment is placed on the top plate 51.

[0047] In addition, if the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b is formed of felt, other parts of the felt plate 2b may be formed of different materials. That is, the felt plate 2b may be formed by a rigid base portion formed of a material different from felt and the felt fixed to the base portion to form the low-friction surface 2b1.

[0048] The top plate 3 for the connection accessory is a plate-shaped portion supported by the base portion 2 from below. The top plate 3 for the connection accessory is fixed to the base portion 2 by, for example, an adhesive or screws (not shown). The upper surface of the top plate 3 for the connection accessory is an overall flat working surface 3a. This working surface 3a is used, for example, when replacing the battery B, to temporarily place the replacement battery B and the battery B after removal. Note that it is not necessarily the case that the entire upper surface of the top plate 3 for the connection accessory is the working surface 3a. A part of the upper surface of the top plate 3 for the connection accessory may be a flat working surface, and the other parts may be used for purposes different from the working surface.

[0049] An opening 3b is provided in the central portion of such a top plate 3 for the connection accessory. The opening 3b is formed in a rectangular shape. The opening 3b is disposed above the bottom plate portion 2d of the base portion 2. Such an opening 3b exposes the upper part of the battery mounting unit 4 placed on the bottom plate portion 2d. The opening 3b is formed in substantially the same shape as the plan view shape of the battery mounting unit 4. In the present embodiment, the opening 3b exposes the mounting surface of a mounting tray 4b (described later) installed on the upper part of the battery mounting unit 4.

[0050] In addition, the top plate 3 for connection fittings is formed to have a size that covers the entire base portion 2 in a plan view. Further, the top plate 3 for connection fittings is formed such that the edge portion 3c projects outward beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2 in a plan view. That is, in the present embodiment, the top plate 3 for connection fittings has a shape in which the edge portion 3c projects outward from the outer edge (outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c) of the base portion 2 over the entire circumference.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 1, such an edge portion 3c is provided to project so as to cover the power outlet opening 2e of the peripheral wall portion 2c from above. That is, the edge portion 3c is disposed above the plug insertion opening 5a of the power tap 5 exposed in the power outlet opening 2e and is provided to project so as to cover the plug insertion opening 5a from above. Such an edge portion 3c prevents liquid from coming into contact with the power outlet opening 2e (i.e., the plug insertion opening 5a) even if liquid spills onto the working surface 3a of the top plate 3 for connection fittings.

[0052] In addition, since such an edge portion 3c projects outward from the outer edge (outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c) of the base portion 2, it can be gripped by an operator. Therefore, when moving the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of the present embodiment, the work can be performed by gripping the edge portion 3c.

[0053] Note that the edge portion 3c does not necessarily project outward from the outer edge (outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c) of the base portion 2 over the entire circumference. For example, an edge portion that projects locally outward from the base portion 2 may be provided above the power outlet opening 2e or at a position that is easy to grip when moving the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of the present embodiment.

[0054] The battery attachment unit 4 is a unit that is supported by the base portion 2 and to which the battery B can be attached. The battery attachment unit 4 converts the DC power output from the battery B into AC power and supplies power to the power tap 5 via the internal wiring 6. This battery attachment unit 4 includes a case 4a, a mounting tray 4b, and an inverter 4c.

[0055] Case 4a is a container-shaped member that supports the mounting tray 4b and the inverter 4c. This case 4a is placed on the bottom plate portion 2d of the base portion 2. Note that the case 4a may be fixed to the bottom plate portion 2d by an adhesive, screws, etc., or may be placed without being fixed.

[0056] Case 4a has an open end that is opened when the mounting tray 4b is removed. The open end is opened upward and is closed by the mounting tray 4b when the mounting tray 4b is attached to the case 4a from above. Also, the case 4a houses the inverter 4c inside.

[0057] The mounting tray 4b is a tray member provided with two (a plurality of) mounting recesses 4b1 to which the battery B can be detachably attached in the vertical direction. The mounting tray 4b is formed in substantially the same shape as the opening 3b so as to close the opening 3b of the top plate 3 for the connection fixture. Since two mounting recesses 4b1 are provided in such a mounting tray 4b, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of batteries B can be attached to the battery mounting unit 4.

[0058] Also, this mounting tray 4b is disposed adjacent to the upper surface (working surface 3a) of the top plate 3 for the connection fixture. Since the mounting tray 4b is disposed adjacent to be surrounded by the upper surface (working surface 3a) of the top plate 3 for the connection fixture, for example, even when trying to replace the battery B from any direction, it is possible to easily place the replacement battery B on the working surface 3a.

[0059] The mounting recess 4b1 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the lower part of the battery B and is capable of accommodating the lower part of the battery B. The mounting recess 4b1 is provided with terminal portions each connected to the negative terminal and the positive terminal at the bottom of the battery B attached to the mounting recess 4b1. FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the electrical connection relationship of the electrical equipment connecting device 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, in the battery mounting unit 4, the mounting tray 4b having the mounting recess 4b1 is electrically connected to the inverter 4c.

[0060] The inverter 4c is a converter that converts the DC power output from the battery B into AC power. As shown in FIG. 3, the inverter 4c is connected to the power tap 5 via the internal wiring 6. By converting the DC power into AC power by the inverter 4c in this way, AC power similar to a general commercial power supply can be taken out from the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5.

[0061] Note that the battery mounting unit 4 may be provided with a control device (not shown). For example, in a state where a plurality of batteries B are attached to the battery mounting unit 4, the control device may select the battery B that consumes power.

[0062] In such a battery mounting unit 4, only the upper mounting tray 4b is exposed, and other parts are arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2. That is, the inverter 4c housed in the case 4a is arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2.

[0063] The power tap 5 is a member that is supported by the base portion 2 at a position different from the battery mounting unit 4 and to which the plug P (external connection terminal) of the electrical equipment D can be attached. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, two (a plurality of) power taps 5 are provided. Each power tap 5 is placed on the bottom plate portion 2d of the base portion 2. That is, these power taps 5 are arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 2, the power tap 5 is disposed at the end of the bottom plate portion 2d, and the battery attachment unit 4 is disposed at the center of the bottom plate portion 2d. That is, the power tap 5 is installed on the bottom plate portion 2d at a position different from that of the battery attachment unit 4.

[0065] Each power tap 5 has two plug insertion ports 5a. These plug insertion ports 5a are arranged at the same pitch as the outlet opening 2e of the base portion 2, and are disposed at positions exposed at the outlet opening 2e. In the present embodiment, each power tap 5 is fixed in a posture with the plug insertion port 5a facing laterally so that the plug P can be inserted and removed laterally.

[0066] In the present embodiment, the battery attachment unit 4 is configured to be detachable in the vertical direction with respect to the battery B. That is, in the electrical equipment connection device 1 of the present embodiment, the attachment direction of the battery B to the battery attachment unit 4 is different from the attachment direction of the plug P to the power tap 5.

[0067] These power taps 5 are each connected to the battery attachment unit 4 via an internal wiring 6. That is, in the electrical equipment connection device 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of power taps 5 are connected to the battery attachment unit 4. In such an electrical equipment connection device 1 of the present embodiment, power is supplied from a single battery attachment unit 4 to a plurality of power taps 5.

[0068] The internal wiring 6 is a wiring that connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the power tap 5. In the present embodiment, two internal wirings 6 are provided. One internal wiring 6 connects the battery attachment unit 4 and one power tap 5. The other internal wiring 6 connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the other power tap 5. These internal wirings 6 are housed in the housing space K of the base portion 2. That is, the internal wiring 6 is not visible from the outside.

[0069] Each internal wiring 6 electrically connects the inverter 4c of the battery attachment unit 4 and the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5. Each internal wiring 6 conducts the AC power output from the inverter 4c to the plug insertion port 5a.

[0070] In the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment with such a configuration, the battery B is attached to the attachment recess 4b1 of the battery attachment unit 4, and the plug P of the electrical equipment D is inserted into the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5. The battery attachment unit 4 converts the DC power output from the battery B into AC power by the inverter 4c. The AC power generated by the inverter 4c is supplied to the power tap 5 via the internal wiring 6 and is supplied from the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5 to the electrical equipment D.

[0071] Also, for example, when replacing the battery B, a new battery B is placed on the working surface 3a of the top plate 3 for the connection fixture. In this state, the battery B previously attached to the battery attachment unit 4 is removed from the battery attachment unit 4 by lifting it upward from the attachment recess 4b1. The removed battery B is placed on the working surface 3a of the top plate 3 for the connection fixture, and a new battery B is attached to the attachment recess 4b1 from above.

[0072] The electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a base portion 2. The base portion 2 can be placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate and has an accommodation space K provided inside. Also, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment includes a battery attachment unit 4. The battery attachment unit 4 is supported by the base portion 2 and the battery B can be attached thereto. Also, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment includes a power tap 5. The power tap 5 is supported by the base portion 2 at a position different from the battery attachment unit 4 and the plug P of the electrical equipment D can be attached thereto. Also, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment includes internal wiring 6. The internal wiring 6 is accommodated in the accommodation space K and connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the power tap 5.

[0073] Such an electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment is a fixture that is placed and used on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate. The electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 4, and a battery B can be mounted. Further, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment includes a power strip 5 to which a plug P of an electrical equipment D can be attached, and power can be supplied from the battery B to the electrical equipment D via the internal wiring 6. That is, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, power can be supplied from the battery B to the electrical equipment D, and it is possible to eliminate the need for power supply from the fixture 50 with a top plate to the electrical equipment D. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.

[0074] Further, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment includes an inverter 4c. The inverter 4c converts the DC power output from the battery B attached to the battery mounting unit 4 into AC power.

[0075] According to such an electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, the DC power output from the battery B can be converted into AC power by the inverter 4c and supplied to the power strip 5. Therefore, it is possible to supply power to a general electrical equipment D that can be supplied with power from a 100V commercial power supply.

[0076] Also, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, the inverter 4c is arranged in the accommodation space K. Thus, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, since the inverter 4c is arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2, it is possible to prevent the inverter 4c from being visually recognized from the outside.

[0077] Further, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment includes a top plate 3 for the connecting fixture. The top plate 3 for the connecting fixture is supported from below by the base portion 2 and a working surface 3a is provided on at least a part of the upper surface.

[0078] According to the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of this embodiment, a working surface 3a is provided on at least a part of the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings. Therefore, an operator can use a part of the surface of the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 as the working surface 3a. Thus, it becomes possible to supplement the working surface of the fitting 50 with a top plate, which has decreased by placing the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 on the top plate 51 of the fitting 50 with a top plate, with the working surface 3a of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings.

[0079] Also, in the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 has a mounting tray 4b on which the battery B can be detachably mounted in the vertical direction. Further, in the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b is disposed adjacent to the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings.

[0080] According to the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b of the battery mounting unit 4 is disposed adjacent to the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings. Therefore, for example, it is possible to place the battery B removed from the battery mounting unit 4 on the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings. Thus, in the case of replacing or mounting the battery B, it becomes possible to temporarily place the battery B on the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings and easily attach the battery B placed on the upper surface of the fitting top plate 3 for connection fittings to the adjacent mounting tray 4b. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connection fitting 1 of this embodiment, it becomes possible to improve the usability of the electrical equipment connection fitting 1.

[0081] Also, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, a mounting tray 4b is disposed at a height adjacent to the upper surface of a top plate 3 for the connecting fixture supported from below by a base portion 2. Therefore, by placing the base portion 2 on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate, the mounting tray 4b can be disposed at a position higher than the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate. Thus, the connection location between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 4 can be moved away from the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate. Therefore, even if, for example, an operator spills a liquid on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate, it is possible to prevent the liquid from reaching the connection location between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 4 and causing a failure.

[0082] Also, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, an opening 3b is formed in the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture. Further, the mounting tray 4b is disposed in the opening 3b. According to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the mounting tray 4b is disposed in the opening provided in the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture, the upper surface of the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture is disposed so as to surround the mounting tray 4b. Therefore, a working surface 3a can be formed around the mounting tray 4b. Thus, regardless of the direction from which the replacement operation of the battery B is performed around the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1, it is possible to temporarily place the replacement battery B on the upper surface of the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture.

[0083] Also, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, the base portion 2 includes a base portion main body 2a and a felt plate 2b. The base portion main body 2a has an accommodation space K. The felt plate 2b has a low friction surface 2b1 having a lower coefficient of friction than the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a and is connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a.

[0084] According to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of this embodiment, the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b contacts the upper surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate fixture 50. Therefore, compared with the case where the base body 2a contacts the upper surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate fixture 50, it is possible to easily move the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1. Further, it is possible to prevent the surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate fixture 50 from being damaged when the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 is moved.

[0085] Further, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 can mount a plurality of batteries B. According to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of this embodiment, since a plurality of batteries B can be mounted on the battery mounting unit 4, for example, when replacing any one of the batteries B, it is possible to continue power supply from other batteries B to the electrical equipment D.

[0086] Further, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of this embodiment, a plurality of power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. According to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of this embodiment, since a plurality of power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4, it is possible to supply power from the battery B mounted on the battery mounting unit 4 to a plurality of electrical equipment D.

[0087] In this embodiment, a configuration in which two batteries B can be mounted on the battery mounting unit 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or three or more batteries B that can be mounted on the battery mounting unit 4 may be used.

[0088] Further, in this embodiment, a configuration in which two power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which one or three or more power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4 may be adopted.

[0089] In addition, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the felt plate 2b is provided on the base portion 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the base portion 2 does not have the felt plate 2b. For example, when the electrical equipment connecting fitting is fixed to the mounting portion provided on the top plate of the top plate-equipped fitting, it is not necessary to provide the felt plate 2b on the base portion 2.

[0090] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the opening 3b is provided in the central portion of the top plate 3 for the connecting fitting has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a configuration in which an opening for exposing the battery mounting unit 4 is provided by notching the edge portion 3c of the top plate 3 for the connecting fitting may be adopted.

[0091] As described above, according to the electrical equipment connecting fitting 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the need for power supply from the top plate-equipped fitting 50 to the electrical equipment D. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a wiring duct or a plug insertion port on the top plate 51. As shown in FIG. 1, the top plate-equipped fitting 50 on which the electrical equipment connecting fitting 1 of the present embodiment is placed includes a top plate 51 and legs 52. According to the electrical equipment connecting fitting 1 of the present embodiment, since it is not necessary to install a wiring duct or a plug insertion port on the top plate 51, the upper surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal smooth surface without any gaps or irregularities provided as a whole. That is, the top plate-equipped fitting 50 includes a top plate 51 whose entire upper surface 51a is a horizontal smooth surface.

[0092] According to the top plate-equipped fitting 50 having such a top plate 51, it is possible to eliminate the unevenness of the entire upper surface 51a of the top plate 51. Further, since the entire upper surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal smooth surface, it is possible to easily move the electrical equipment connecting fitting 1 of the present embodiment on the upper surface 51a of the top plate 51. In addition, according to the top plate-equipped fitting 50, since it is not necessary to provide a wiring duct for the top plate 51, it is possible to widely secure the space below the top plate 51 (the lower limb space of the operator).

[0093] (Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. In the description of this embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified in the description.

[0094] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of this embodiment. In the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the first embodiment, a configuration in which the battery B is detachably attached in the vertical direction is adopted. On the other hand, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a configuration in which the battery B is detachably attached in the horizontal direction is adopted.

[0095] In this embodiment, an insertion opening 2f is provided in the peripheral wall portion 2c of the base portion main body 2a. This insertion opening 2f is an opening for inserting the battery B. This insertion opening 2f is formed in the short side portion 2c2 of the peripheral wall portion 2c and connects the accommodation space K of the base portion main body 2a and the outside. The insertion opening 2f is formed by penetrating the peripheral wall portion 2c in the horizontal direction.

[0096] Also, in this embodiment, the opening 3b in the first embodiment is not provided in the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture. In this embodiment, the portion where the opening 3b was provided in the first embodiment is blocked in the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture, and the upper surface of this blocked portion also forms a part of the working surface 3a. That is, in this embodiment, the outer shape of the top plate 3 for the connecting fixture is the same as that in the first embodiment, but the working surface 3a is enlarged compared to the first embodiment.

[0097] Also, in this embodiment, instead of the battery mounting unit 4 in the first embodiment, a battery mounting unit 10 is provided. This battery mounting unit 10 is a unit that is supported by the base portion 2 and to which the battery B can be mounted. The battery mounting unit 10 converts the DC power output from the battery B into AC power and supplies power to the power tap 5 via the internal wiring 6.

[0098] The battery attachment unit 10 is entirely accommodated in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2. Such a battery attachment unit 10 has a battery connection portion directed toward the insertion opening 2f provided in the peripheral wall portion 2c of the base portion main body 2a described above. That is, in the present embodiment, the battery B is attached to and detached from the battery attachment unit 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0099] In such a present embodiment, the battery B is inserted into the accommodation space K of the base portion 2 through the insertion opening 2f from the side. The battery B inserted into the accommodation space K is attached to the battery attachment unit 10 inside the accommodation space K. That is, in the present embodiment, a part of the battery B attached to the battery attachment unit 10 is accommodated in the accommodation space K.

[0100] The electrical equipment connection fixture 1A of the present embodiment as described above includes a base portion 2 in the same manner as the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of the first embodiment. The base portion 2 can be placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate and an accommodation space K is provided inside. Further, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1A of the present embodiment includes a battery attachment unit 10. The battery attachment unit 10 is supported by the base portion 2 and the battery B can be attached thereto. Further, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1A of the present embodiment includes a power tap 5. The power tap 5 is supported by the base portion 2 at a position different from the battery attachment unit 10 and the plug P of the electrical equipment D can be attached thereto. Further, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1A of the present embodiment includes internal wiring 6. The internal wiring 6 is accommodated in the accommodation space K and connects the battery attachment unit 10 and the power tap 5.

[0101] Such an electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment is a fixture that is placed and used on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate. The electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 10, and the battery B can be mounted. Further, the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment includes a power strip 5 to which the plug P of the electrical equipment D can be attached, and through the internal wiring 6, the power of the battery B can be supplied to the electrical equipment D. That is, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment, power can be supplied from the battery B to the electrical equipment D, and it is possible to eliminate the need for power supply from the fixture 50 with a top plate to the electrical equipment D. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment, similarly to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of the power cable.

[0102] Also, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment, the battery mounting unit 10 is arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2. Further, the accommodation space K of the base portion 2 houses at least a part of the battery B attached to the battery mounting unit 10.

[0103] According to such an electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment, since a part of the battery B is housed in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2, it is possible to prevent the battery B from protruding greatly from the base portion 2. Also, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1A of the present embodiment, the connection portion between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 10 can be arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2. Therefore, even if, for example, an operator spills liquid on the top plate 51 of the fixture 50 with a top plate, it is possible to avoid the liquid reaching the connection portion between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 10 and causing a failure.

[0104] (Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. In the description of the present embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1B of the present embodiment, similar to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.

[0108] Further, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1B of the present embodiment, the battery 20 is provided. Therefore, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1B of the present embodiment, the battery 20 becomes a part of the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1B. For this reason, for example, it is possible to design the battery 20 specifically for the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1B.

[0109] In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the battery 20 is detachable from the battery attachment unit 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the battery 20 may be fixed to the battery attachment unit 4. In such a case, for example, a charger (not shown) is connected to the battery 20 of the electrical equipment connection fitting 1B as necessary to charge the battery 20. Charging of the battery 20 can be performed by moving the electrical equipment connection fitting 1B from above the top plate 51 of the top plate-equipped fitting 50.

Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1C of the present embodiment, similar to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of the power cable.

[0115] Further, in the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1C of the present embodiment, it is possible to supply DC power from the plug insertion port 5b to the electrical equipment D. For this reason, for example, power can be supplied to the electrical equipment D by a USB cable or the like.

[0116] (Fifth Embodiment) Next, the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

[0117] FIG. 7 is a block diagram schematically showing the electrical connection relationship of the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1D of the present embodiment.

[0119] Although not shown in FIG. 7, the signal line connection tap 7 is placed on the bottom plate portion 2d of the base portion 2 and arranged in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2, similarly to the power tap 5 of the first embodiment. The signal line connection tap 7 is arranged at the end of the bottom plate portion 2d, and the battery attachment unit 4 is arranged at the center of the bottom plate portion 2d. That is, the signal line connection tap 7 is installed on the bottom plate portion 2d at a position different from that of the battery attachment unit 4.

[0120] The internal wiring 8 is a wiring that connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the signal line connection tap 7 via the wireless communication router 30. In this embodiment, two internal wirings 8 are provided. One internal wiring 8 connects the battery attachment unit 4 and one signal line connection tap 7. The other internal wiring 8 connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the other signal line connection tap 7. Although not shown in FIG. 7, these internal wirings 8 are accommodated in the accommodation space K of the base portion 2. That is, the internal wiring 8 is not visible from the outside.

[0121] Each internal wiring 8 electrically connects the battery attachment unit 4 and the wireless communication router 30, and supplies the power of the battery B to the wireless communication router 30. Each internal wiring 8 also electrically connects the wireless communication router 30 and the signal line connection tap 7, and signal-connects the wireless communication router 30 and the electrical device D connected to the signal line connection tap 7.

[0122] In such an electrical equipment connecting fixture 1D of the present embodiment, the signal line connection tap 7, which is a terminal attachment part, is used for signal transmission.

Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1D of the present embodiment, it becomes possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.

[0123] (Sixth Embodiment) Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In the description of the present embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment above will be omitted or simplified.

[0124] The fixture system of the present embodiment includes a fixture 50 with a top plate and the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the first embodiment above.

[0125] According to the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the fixture system of the present embodiment, it becomes possible to prevent the fixture 50 with a top plate from being restricted by the provision of a power cable. Further, according to the fixture 50 with a top plate, it becomes possible to eliminate the unevenness of the entire upper surface 51a of the top plate 51. Furthermore, since the entire upper surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal and smooth surface, it becomes possible to easily move the electrical equipment connecting fixture 1 of the present embodiment on the upper surface 51a of the top plate 51. Also, according to the fixture 50 with a top plate, since there is no need to provide a wiring duct for the top plate 51, it becomes possible to widely secure the space below the top plate 51 (the lower limb space of the operator).

[0126] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The various shapes, combinations, etc. of the constituent members shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on design requirements and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0127] Also, in the above-described first embodiment, the configuration in which the felt plate 2b is provided on the lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a has been described.
