    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention is framed within the technical field of coupling devices intended to receive a plug. More specifically, a recessed plug is described comprising a communication system with other devices. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Intelligent connection solutions are known from the state of the art. These are devices that comprise communications systems configured to allow a user to control their on and off, control the intensity of current passing through them, etc.
    However, these devices have some important limitations. One of the main limitations is their relationship between the amperage at which they work and their size that make it impossible to integrate them embedded in a wall.
    The wall-mounted devices must work according to the installation rules of each country or region between 10A and 16A, and the state-of-the-art devices that work at this intensity have a volume too high to integrate them embedded in a wall in a universal box . To reduce their size, so far, the solution found has been to reduce the amperage at which these devices can work, so that by not complying with the installation rules, they cannot be integrated into a universal box embedded in a wall, and by both the solution has been to implement them as a closed set, with plug, to be able to be connected to a plug of the mains.
    That is, when you want to connect an electrical device, it is necessary to connect it first to this smart connection device and then connect the smart connection device to a power outlet.


    All smart connection devices need to meet other standards that make it difficult to integrate them in a small space, for example, the distance between the electrical contacts and the electronic components must be 3mm minimum and these devices must withstand tests such as 5,000 cycles of plugged in and unplugged
    The devices of the state of the art, to overcome these inconveniences, reduce the amperage, so they cannot be built-in, or have a high volume that cannot be integrated into a universal flush-mounted box and the solution used in the state of the art It is to make them external. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention proposes a plug with communication system. The key to this plug is that it is recessed and that the communication system is arranged in the plug housing. Said housing preferably comprises a base and a cover of the base and the base of the plug is completely housed in a universal box embedded in the wall in which it is installed and connected directly to the mains by means of connection terminals.
    This plug allows to solve the described problems of the state of the art since it allows its installation with direct connection to the mains and is embedded in the wall. For this, the plug has been designed in such a way that all the components that it comprises are housed in the housing of the plug from which the necessary terminals for the connection to the mains stand out.
    When the plug is already embedded in the wall, only the outer face of the plug cover, which is the bezel, is visible from the outside. Therefore, the external impression that a user has is that it is a standard plug, but in reality, inside the base is the communication system that allows the user to control the plug remotely and the communication of this With other devices. Some of the possibilities of realizing the plug include, for example, that it comprises an on and off system, comprising a timer, which


    can be controlled from a mobile application, etc.
    Thus, a user who connects an electrical appliance to the socket can remotely control its switching off or on, the intensity of the current sent to it, for example, to control the intensity of the light if a lamp has been connected, it is possible to program hours at which you want to let the power pass, for example to connect a stove only until a certain time of night, turn off an electrical device connected to the plug if it is detected that it is consuming a lot of power, etc.
    Some of the plug applications are timed current measurement, on and off (you can select how long it will be on or off), delayed on and off (the plug is turned on or off after a certain time), beacon ( It can include LEDs that emit light to, for example, guide a path), programmed on and off (the plug is turned on or off following a certain program), current threshold limiter, and allows an estimated calculation of the billing that can be perform the electric company based on the current it detects has been going on.
    Also the socket of the plug are surrounded by an envelope that is a piece that extends from the base in the plate, the PCA that contains elements of the control system and some elements of the communications system, to the head of the contact providing mechanical stability , so that the formation of micro-cracks in the welds of the sockets and of the other components is minimized, providing a high durability of the plug against the connection and disconnection of plugs in it.
    An advantage associated with the plug with communication system of the present invention is that being built-in and being fixedly connected to the mains, it falls within the classification of fixed electrical installations. Therefore, the proposed plug can work with up to 16 A current intensities being embedded in the wall and without needing an intermediate device between the plug and the device to be connected to the mains. This allows any type of appliance to be connected to the plug.


    The plug with communication system complies with the plug regulation for fixed electrical installation, as described in the previous paragraph. To verify that the plug complies with the regulation of electrical installations, an opening control of the relay contacts is carried out to maximize the current and therefore the power that the plug can control. This control consists of a synchronization of the relay closing when the voltage is 0, to reduce the current spikes at the start, and a synchronization of the relay opening with the zero crossing of the current, to reduce the stress of the relay in Disconnection and connection.

    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    An example of embodiment of the present invention is described below with the aid of Figures 1 to 6.
    The communication system plug of the present invention can be seen, for example, in Figure 1. Said plug has the essential characteristic that it is recessed.
    The plug with communication system, which is recessed, comprises at least one housing inside which houses at least one communication system, a control circuit and a plug connection system. Also said housing comprises the receptacle for a plug to be connected to the plug.
    In an exemplary embodiment, the housing is shaped as a single piece. In another embodiment, the housing comprises a base (5) and a base cover (6). In an exemplary embodiment, most of the plug elements (communication system and control circuit elements) are housed inside the base (5), and some, such as an antenna and part of the communication system are housed in the base cover (6). In another embodiment, all the elements of the plug are housed in the base (5). The base cover (6) is the part that comprises the visible part of the receptacle for the plug. In this case, part of the communication system, the control circuit and the plug connection system are located in the base (5).
    The plug connection system comprises terminals for direct connection to the mains and fixing means (2) in the housing configured to ensure the connection of the plug to the wall in which it is embedded.
    Preferably, the communication system comprises at least one microprocessor, a transducer, an adaptation circuit and a radio frequency antenna. In an embodiment of the invention, the plug additionally comprises another radio frequency antenna communication system for wireless communication.


    Preferably, this additional communication system is located in the base cover (6).
    Communication systems can communicate using a protocol selected from the group of: Z-Wave, WiFi (IEEE802.11), ZigBee, Bluetooth, ANT, WiMAX or proprietary RF protocol 343MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, 27MHz, 2.4GHz , 5GHz, etc. or of any other type. In an exemplary embodiment in which the plug comprises two communication systems, one of them communicates with Z-wave and the other with WiFi.
    In the embodiment in which the plug comprises two communication systems, the microprocessor of each communication system communicates bi-directionally with the microprocessor of the other communication system.
    In an embodiment of the invention, said plug control circuit comprises at least one microcontroller, a measurement circuit and a relay (3). Communication between the communication system and the control circuit is done through the latter's microcontroller.
    The control circuit may comprise, for example, an RTC (Realtime clock) that allows the timer function of the plug to be controlled.
    In an exemplary embodiment in which the plug comprises two communication systems, the communication system with WiFi protocol is the one that communicates with the outside. In the event that the plug only comprises a communications system, there would only be Z-wave and this would communicate with the outside and with the microcontroller of the control circuit.
    In an exemplary embodiment, the plug comprises an on and off system, which is part of the control circuit. In this case, the relay (3) of the control circuit is synchronized with the power supply and a microprocessor configured to establish communication with another remote device to control the power off and on of the plug.
    In the proposed socket the socket for the neutral is connected directly to the terminal


    of the neutral (23) while between the phase and the phase terminal (25) corresponding to the one connected, there is a relay (3). Figure 1 shows the contact of the terminal to the neutral (22) and the relay input contact (21) and the relay output contact (20) are observed.
    In an exemplary embodiment as shown in the figures, the housing comprises a base (5) and a base cover (6) configured to be joined together. In this case the base (5) can comprise a first piece (7) and a second piece (8) configured to be joined together.
    Also, in an exemplary embodiment, the first part (7) and the second part (8) comprise insulating skirts (9), which are arranged one on top of the other when the first part (7) and the second part (8) are joined together and that allow insulating the alveoli
    (1) of the plug. The sockets are the means of connecting a plug to the plug.
    The plug can also comprise a button to turn it off and on. In the embodiments in which it comprises the button it is arranged on the outer face of the housing. If the housing has a base cover, the button is on the external face of said base cover.
    As described, the insulating skirts are coupled one above the other, arranged in such a way that they completely surround the electrical part, that is to say the alveoli (1). Thus the electronic components of the plug that are encompassed between the skirts and the housing are arranged on the periphery. Preferably the components of the communication system and the control circuit are in at least one PCA (4) that is arranged in said position between the skirts and the external walls of the base (5), that is the external walls of the first and second piece (7, 8).
    In an exemplary embodiment as shown in Figure 4, the terminals (1) are located at 45 ° and configured to facilitate the connection of the cables of the mains from any direction to which they reach the plug.
    In the exemplary embodiment in which the plug comprises a base and a base cover, said plug comprises a plurality of connections that join both


    pieces. To avoid confusion of the user when assembling the plug, it can comprise a series of marks designed to prevent the wrong placement between the base and the base cover.
    5 In an exemplary embodiment, said marks can be, for example, two notches (10) eccentric, not symmetrical, in one of the components (base or base cover) to guide the connection. Likewise, to guide said connection, the symmetry of the hole for grounding and the connection consisting of a series of connection pins (11) that fit in the opposite element (base and cover) are also used as an orientation
    10 of the base) comprising holes for corresponding connection pins (12) in which they are housed.
    The connection pins allow the connection between the base and the base cover to be made, saving the receptacle for the plug and in this way it is possible to use the cover of the
    15 plug to locate components.
