In this case, it is determined that the electric device is on standby.

また、第３の発明は、上記第１または第２の発明の節電アダプタにおいて、自節電アダプタ内への給電を制御する節電アダプタ内給電制御手段をさらに有し、前記待機中判定手段が自節電アダプタに接続された前記電気機器が待機中であると判定した場合に、前記節電アダプタ内給電制御手段は自節電アダプタ内への給電を停止し、前記起動信号検出手段は、自節電アダプタ内への給電が停止された状態で、自節電アダプタに接続された有線ケーブルからの特定の電気エネルギーを検出することを特徴とする。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the power saving adapter according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the power saving adapter power supply control means for controlling the power supply to the self power saving adapter is further provided, and the standby determination means is the self power saving power supply.

以下、図面を参照して、本発明の実施の形態について詳細を説明する。
図１は、本発明の節電アダプタ１のブロック構成図であり、電気機器として、テレビやエアコン等のリモコン操作可能な家電機器を例に説明する。
本発明の節電アダプタ１は、家電機器８と商用電源コンセント（図示せず）の間に挿入され、家電機器８への給電を制御する。そして、家電機器８への給電を停止した場合、この節電アダプタ１自体も電力消費を停止する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a power-saving adapter 1 according to the present invention. As an electric device, a home appliance that can be operated by a remote controller such as a television or an air conditioner will be described as an example.
The power saving adapter 1 of the present invention is inserted between the home appliance 8 and a commercial power outlet (not shown), and controls power feeding to the home appliance 8. When power supply to the home appliance 8 is stopped, the power saving adapter 1 itself also stops power consumption.

まず、この節電アダプタ１が活性化された状態から説明を開始する。電源プラグ７が受電した商用電源コンセントからの電力は、開閉回路５，状態判定回路２を介して家電機器８に供給される。
状態判定回路２は家電機器８へ流れる電流を測定し、予め設定された電流値（例えば１００ｍＡ）以下であれば、当該家電機器８は待機中であると判定し、タイマ回路３を起動する。そして、タイマ回路３が起動し一定時間（例えば１０分）が経過しても家電機器８が待機中であると判定された場合、出力制御回路４は開閉回路５を制御して家電機器８への給電を停止する。これにより、家電機器８の待機時の電力消費もカットされ、消費電力は０になる。 First, the description starts from a state in which the power saving adapter 1 is activated. The electric power from the commercial power outlet received by the power plug 7 is supplied to the home appliance 8 through the switching circuit 5 and the state determination circuit 2.
The state determination circuit 2 measures the current flowing to the home appliance 8, and if it is equal to or less than a preset current value (for example, 100 mA), determines that the home appliance 8 is on standby and starts the timer circuit 3. When it is determined that the home appliance 8 is on standby even after the timer circuit 3 is activated and a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) elapses, the output control circuit 4 controls the open / close circuit 5 to the home appliance 8. Stop power supply. As a result, the power consumption during standby of the home appliance 8 is cut, and the power consumption becomes zero.

ここで、開閉回路５が開となって、家電機器８への給電を停止した時、当該節電アダプタ１内部の各電気回路が動作するための電力を生成する節電アダプタ電源回路６への給電も停止する。
これにより、家電機器８への給電を停止した場合、この節電アダプタ１自体も電力消費を停止し、家電機器８および節電アダプタ１の消費電力は０となる。 Here, when the open / close circuit 5 is opened and the power supply to the home appliance 8 is stopped, the power supply to the power-saving adapter power supply circuit 6 that generates power for operating each electric circuit in the power-saving adapter 1 is also performed. Stop.
Accordingly, when power supply to the home appliance 8 is stopped, the power saving adapter 1 itself also stops power consumption, and the power consumption of the home appliance 8 and the power saving adapter 1 becomes zero.

次に、給電停止状態から節電アダプタ１および家電機器８への給電を再開する場合について説明する。
起動信号検出回路９は、この節電アダプタ１自体を起動するための外部からの起動信号を検出する回路であって、節電アダプタ電源回路６が当該節電アダプタ１内部の各電気回路部への電力供給を停止している状態であっても作動する。 Next, a case where power supply to the power saving adapter 1 and the home appliance 8 is resumed from a power supply stop state will be described.
The activation signal detection circuit 9 is a circuit for detecting an activation signal from the outside for activating the power saving adapter 1 itself, and the power saving adapter power supply circuit 6 supplies power to each electric circuit section inside the power saving adapter 1. It operates even when it is stopped.

すなわち、起動信号検出回路９に入力する外部からの起動信号のエネルギーで動作する。外部からの起動信号は例えば、電源ケーブルからの高周波電気信号や空間伝播される電磁波や光信号であって、それらのエネルギーで当該信号入力を検知して、出力制御回路４をトリガーする。この出力制御回路４の起動信号検出回路９からの入力部を、例えばサイリスタによるターンオン回路等で構成すれば、起動信号は微弱なインパルス性の信号でよく、起動信号検出回路９に入力する外部からの起動信号のエネルギーで起動可能である。   That is, it operates with the energy of the external start signal input to the start signal detection circuit 9. The activation signal from the outside is, for example, a high-frequency electric signal from a power cable, a spatially propagated electromagnetic wave, or an optical signal. The signal input is detected by those energies, and the output control circuit 4 is triggered. If the input part from the activation signal detection circuit 9 of the output control circuit 4 is constituted by, for example, a turn-on circuit using a thyristor, the activation signal may be a weak impulse signal, and is input to the activation signal detection circuit 9 from the outside. It can be activated with the energy of the activation signal.

図２は、起動信号検出回路９に入力する外部からの起動信号のエネルギーが電源ケーブルからの高周波電気信号であった場合の例である。ＰＬＣ（Ｐｏｗｅｒ Ｌｉｎｅ Ｃｏｍｍｕｎｉｃａｔｉｏｎｓ）モデム１１は、プラグ７から入力する電力に重畳された特定の高周波電気信号を起動信号として抽出して当該起動信号を起動信号検出回路９に出力する。以下、図１で説明した動作により自節電アダプタ１および家電機器８へ給電を再開する。なお、高周波数電気信号は誤動作を防止するために、特定パターンの断続信号であってもよい。   FIG. 2 shows an example in which the energy of the external activation signal input to the activation signal detection circuit 9 is a high-frequency electrical signal from the power cable. A PLC (Power Line Communications) modem 11 extracts a specific high-frequency electric signal superimposed on the electric power input from the plug 7 as an activation signal and outputs the activation signal to the activation signal detection circuit 9. Hereinafter, the power supply to the self-power-saving adapter 1 and the home appliance 8 is resumed by the operation described in FIG. Note that the high frequency electrical signal may be an intermittent signal of a specific pattern in order to prevent malfunction.

なお、図２の例では、ＰＬＣモデム１１は常時動作しており、電源ケーブルを介して、パーソナルコンピュータや集中制御装置等の起動信号発生装置１０と接続されており、遠隔起動が可能である。
従って、この場合、例えば、オフィス等において、電気機器の一般の使用の可否を電源ケーブルを介して遠隔で制御できる利点がある。 In the example of FIG. 2, the PLC modem 11 is always operating and is connected to the activation signal generator 10 such as a personal computer or a centralized control device via a power cable and can be remotely activated.
Therefore, in this case, for example, in an office or the like, there is an advantage that whether or not the electric device can be used in general can be remotely controlled via the power cable.

図３は、起動信号検出回路９に入力する外部からの起動信号のエネルギーが電話ケーブル１３からの特定周波数の電気信号であった場合の例である。電話回線モデム１２は、電話ケーブル１３から入力する電話信号に重畳された特定周波数の電気信号を起動信号として抽出して、当該起動信号を起動信号検出回路９に出力する。以下、図１で説明した動作により自節電アダプタ１および家電機器８へ給電を再開する。なお、特定の周波数の起動信号は誤動作を防止するために、特定パターンの断続信号であってもよい。   FIG. 3 shows an example in which the energy of the external activation signal input to the activation signal detection circuit 9 is an electrical signal having a specific frequency from the telephone cable 13. The telephone line modem 12 extracts an electrical signal having a specific frequency superimposed on the telephone signal input from the telephone cable 13 as an activation signal, and outputs the activation signal to the activation signal detection circuit 9. Hereinafter, the power supply to the self-power-saving adapter 1 and the home appliance 8 is resumed by the operation described in FIG. The activation signal having a specific frequency may be an intermittent signal having a specific pattern in order to prevent malfunction.

なお、図３の例では、電話回線モデム１２は常時動作しており、電話ケーブル１３を介して、パーソナルコンピュータや集中制御装置等の起動信号発生装置１０と接続されており、遠隔起動が可能である。
従って、この場合、例えば、離れたオフィスの電気機器の一般の使用の可否を、電話網を介して遠隔で制御できる利点がある。 In the example of FIG. 3, the telephone line modem 12 is always operating and is connected to the activation signal generator 10 such as a personal computer or a centralized control device via the telephone cable 13 and can be remotely activated. is there.
Therefore, in this case, for example, there is an advantage that whether or not general use of electrical equipment in a remote office can be remotely controlled via a telephone network.

図４は、起動信号検出回路９に入力する外部からの起動信号のエネルギーが、空間伝播される電磁波や光信号であった場合の例である。受信回路１９は、リモコン装置１４からの特定の断続パターンの光又は電磁波１８を起動信号として受信し、当該起動信号を起動信号検出回路９に出力する。以下、図１で説明した動作により自節電アダプタ１および家電機器８へ給電を再開する。   FIG. 4 shows an example in which the energy of the external activation signal input to the activation signal detection circuit 9 is an electromagnetic wave or an optical signal propagated in space. The reception circuit 19 receives light or electromagnetic waves 18 having a specific intermittent pattern from the remote control device 14 as an activation signal, and outputs the activation signal to the activation signal detection circuit 9. Hereinafter, the operation described with reference to FIG.

リモコン装置１４は、起動操作があった場合に、受信回路１９に向けて、受信回路１９が感知する所定値以上のエネルギーを有する光または電磁波を予め定められた断続パターンで放射して、節電アダプタ１を起動するリモコン装置である。   When the remote control device 14 is activated, the remote control device 14 emits light or electromagnetic waves having energy equal to or higher than a predetermined value sensed by the receiving circuit 19 toward the receiving circuit 19 in a predetermined intermittent pattern. 1 is a remote control device that activates 1.

家電機器８及び節電アダプタ１に停止状態から給電を開始する場合、リモコン装置１４の操作部１５を操作し、発信回路１６で光又は電磁波を発生し、送信回路１７により特定の断続パターンで放射する。   When power supply to the home appliance 8 and the power saving adapter 1 is started from a stopped state, the operation unit 15 of the remote control device 14 is operated, light or electromagnetic waves are generated by the transmission circuit 16, and are radiated in a specific intermittent pattern by the transmission circuit 17. .

本発明は、上記の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、さまざまな変更が可能である。たとえば、起動信号を伝送する有線ケーブルはＬＡＮネットワークであってもよい。また、リモコン装置から放射するエネルギーはレーザー光線などでもよい。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the wired cable that transmits the activation signal may be a LAN network. The energy emitted from the remote control device may be a laser beam.
