Because a remote supply of the connected RF components such as Multi-switch or converter (LNB converter etc.). By the level of the remote supply voltage, for example, a polarization selection of multi-switches or an LNB converter can take place. For example, an 18V feed signal is used to receive horizontally polarized waves and switch to a 14V DC signal to receive vertically polarized waves.
- LNB converter Low-switch
- the existing head end monitors the DC voltage supplied to it. If the higher switching voltage of, for example, 18 V longer than a certain period of time (ie a certain ⁇ ) are present, then a higher load would be switched from the head station, whereby the relevant RF socket, via which a connected receiver, the higher DC signal of, for example, 18th V, is brought to shutdown. This ensures that at least the other connected receivers can continue to perform a desired switching to receive an individually desired program.

- This antenna socket additionally has an address module, by means of which it can be unambiguously identified in a distribution network. With a switching device subsequent doses can be switched on or off.
- the European patent application EP1195932 A2 discloses an antenna socket in which the level at the input is detected. If the level is below a threshold value, an interference level is detected and the signal present at the input is not fed into the distribution network. If the level is above the threshold value, the signal present at the input is fed into the distribution network.

- FIG. 2 shows that in the cabling system, for example, using a single-cable connection 9 'or when using a cabling system in tree structure (ie not star-shaped) in a relevant inventive RF box 13, first, a directional coupler 19 is connected, via which a signal to be received (which For example, a television or radio program to be received can correspond) is decoupled.

- the single receiving line 23 emanating from the directional coupler is split into two receiving lines 23a and 23b, which lead to an interface 29a or 29b in the HF socket, to which a corresponding receiver 15 can be connected.
- two interfaces 29a and 29b preferably in the form of connectors, can - as from FIG. 1 can be seen - another interface 29c be provided, about which, for example, the received radio programs can be received.
- FIG. 2 goes from a branch point 39a in the receiving line (and in the distance between directional coupler 19 and the capacitor 21) from a branch line 31a.
- a second branch line 31b starts from a branch point 39b, which lies between the capacitor 41 connected downstream of the diplexer 25 and the interface 29a for connecting the receiver.
- a coupling 33a, 33b is connected, which is also referred to below as a DC output or DC decoupling 33a, 33b.
- the DC decoupling is in this case effected by the DC voltage decoupling 33a and 33b (preferably in the form of inductances) and the capacitors 35a and 35b in the two branch lines 31a and 31b.
- a low-pass filter is formed in each case, which allows the DC component to pass through.

- the feeding of the lower DC voltage signal of 13 V and the supply of the DC signal with, for example, 18 V is e.g. via the connection 29a and the bypass or parallel path 38, bypassing the crossover network 25, namely via the DC decoupling 33b, the DC monitoring device 37, the further DC decoupling 33a in the branch line 31a, the directional coupler 19 and the cabling system 9, which leads to the single-cable matrix 11.
- a feed path is defined, via which, for example, the matrix circuit 11 or the converter is fed by at least one of the connected subscribers with a DC enabling operation of, for example, 13 V or 14 V or the like (ie a lower DC voltage level).
- the time is now monitored for which the DC signal is applied with higher DC voltage, for example, a 17 V or 18 V signal. If the corresponding receiver 15 is operating properly, this receiver will automatically switch back to the lower DC voltage (eg, 13 V) DC signal that is fed into the cabling system around the matrix, the converter, after the DiSEqC signal has been sent for less than ⁇ etc. to operate.

- the DC voltage of a connected receiver is used both to supply the multi-switch (the matrix circuit) and to select horizontally or vertically polarized input signals.
- switching from a lower voltage of, for example, 13V to 18V is simultaneously used as a switching signal for receiving other transmitters.
- a single-cable system fed from the connected receiver voltage level of single-cable multi-switch is no longer as switching criterion but merely as a priority feature for the DiSEqC command to send, over which the station selection occurs.
- Another feature of this single-cable multiswitch is the comparatively higher power consumption, ie the higher load that the receiver must supply.
- the monitoring device would be generally inactive, if the HF socket according to the invention described is only used in conjunction with normal multi-switches (matrix circuit) with a lower load be operated and in which a higher voltage switching signal, for example, 18 V permanently applied and is used as Umschaltkriterium.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine HF-Dose, insbesondere eine HF-Steckdose, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an HF socket, in particular an HF socket, according to the preamble of claim 1.
HF-Dosen oder HF-Steckdosen werden in Verkabelungssystemen, insbesondere zum Empfang von Fernseh- und/oder Rundfunkprogrammen verwendet. Von HF-Steckdosen wird vor allem deshalb gesprochen, da üblicherweise koaxiale Anschlusskabel an einer derartigen HF-Steckdose mittels Steckverbinder angeschlossen werden können. Da die Anschlussart auch unter Verwendung von Drehanschlüssen etc. möglich ist, wird insoweit nachfolgend nur kurz von HF-Dosen gesprochen, die insbesondere eben aus einer HF-Steckdose bestehen.RF cans or RF outlets are used in cabling systems, especially for receiving TV and / or radio programs. Of RF sockets is mainly spoken therefore, since usually coaxial connection cable can be connected to such a RF socket by means of connectors. Since the type of connection is also possible using rotary connections, etc., is so far only briefly spoken of RF doses, which in particular just consist of an RF socket.
Insbesondere werden derartige HF-Dosen zum Empfang von über Satellit ausgestrahlten Programmen eingesetzt.In particular, such RF doses are used to receive satellite broadcast programs.
Die von einem Satelliten über vertikale und horizontale Polarisationen ausgestrahlten Programme können dabei bezüglich eines oberen und/oder eines unteren Frequenzbandes mittels einer geeigneten Konverterschaltung in eine Zwischenfrequenz umgesetzt werden, wobei je nach Anzahl der anzuschließenden Teilnehmer oder Receiver eine oder mehrere Matrix-Schaltungen nachgeschaltet werden können.The programs radiated by a satellite via vertical and horizontal polarizations can thereby relate to an upper and / or a lower frequency band be implemented by means of a suitable converter circuit in an intermediate frequency, wherein one or more matrix circuits can be connected downstream depending on the number of participants or receivers to be connected.
Bei einem derartigen Aufbau dient die erwähnte Hochfrequenz-Steckdose (HF-Dose) als Schnittstelle vom HF-Verteilsystem zum Receiver bzw. zu einem Fernseh- oder Radiogerät.In such a structure, the aforementioned high-frequency power outlet (RF socket) serves as an interface from the RF distribution system to the receiver or to a television or radio.
Neben der HF-Eigenschaft muss die HF-Dose aber auch eine weitere Funktion erfüllen. Denn benötigt wird eine Fernspeisung der angeschlossenen HF-Komponenten wie z.B. Multischalter oder Konverter (LNB-Konverter etc.). Durch das Niveau der Fernspeisespannung kann beispielsweise eine Polarisationsauswahl von Multischaltern bzw. eines LNB-Konverters erfolgen. Ein 18 V-Speisesignal wird beispielsweise zum Empfang von horizontal polarisierten Wellen und eine Umschaltung auf ein 14 V-Gleichspannungssignal zum Empfang von vertikal polarisierten Wellen genutzt.In addition to the HF property, the HF socket must also fulfill another function. Because a remote supply of the connected RF components such as Multi-switch or converter (LNB converter etc.). By the level of the remote supply voltage, for example, a polarization selection of multi-switches or an LNB converter can take place. For example, an 18V feed signal is used to receive horizontally polarized waves and switch to a 14V DC signal to receive vertically polarized waves.
Neben den Sternverkabelungs-Systemen gibt es ferner aber auch sogenannte Einkabel- oder Baumsysteme. Eine entsprechende Einkabel-Lösung unter Verwendung einer sogenannten Einkabel-Matrix ist beispielsweise aus dem Kathrein-Prospekt "Einkabel-Matrix UFO® micro zur Sat-Signalverteilung in Durchschleifsystemen" bekannt, welcher im September 2002 veröffentlicht wurde. Bei derartigen Systemen können mehrere TV- oder Radiogeräte an einem einzigen Koaxialkabel hintereinander zugeschaltet werden. Auch bei derartigen Systemen werden auf dem Koaxialkabel in der Regel 13 V zur Versorgung der angeschlossenen Kopfstationen verwendet. Zur Signalisierung und Umschaltung wird beispielsweise von einem angeschlossenen Receiver (oder Fernsehgerät oder Radiogerät etc.) der Bus kurzzeitig auf 18 V geschaltet und ein sogenannter DiSEqC Befehl überlagert. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein pulsweiten moduliertes 22 KHz-Signal (EN 61319-1A11). Würde nunmehr ein Receiver den Bus dauernd mit 18 V speisen, würde das eine Blockade für weitere Signalisierungen anderer Receiver bedeuten. Mit anderen Worten können dann andere Receiver keine Umschaltung eines Programmes mehr vornehmen.In addition to star cabling systems, there are also so-called single-cable or tree systems. A corresponding single-cable solution using a so-called single-cable matrix is known, for example, from the Kathrein brochure "Single-cable matrix UFO® micro for satellite signal distribution in loop-through systems", which was published in September 2002. In such systems, multiple TVs or radios can be connected in series on a single coaxial cable. Even with such systems 13 V are used for the supply of the connected head stations on the coaxial cable in the rule. For signaling and switching, for example From a connected receiver (or TV or radio, etc.), the bus is briefly switched to 18 V and a so-called DiSEqC command superimposed. This is a pulse width modulated 22 KHz signal (EN 61319-1A11). If now a receiver fed the bus constantly with 18 V, that would mean a blockade for further signaling of other receivers. In other words, other receivers can no longer switch programs.
Aus diesem Grund ist vorgesehen worden, dass die bestehende Kopfstelle die ihr zugeführte Gleichspannung überwacht. Würde die höhere Umschaltspannung von beispielsweise 18 V länger als eine bestimmte Zeitdauer (also ein bestimmter τ) anliegen, so würde von der Kopfstation eine höhere Last aufgeschaltet werden, wodurch die betreffende HF-Dose, über welche ein angeschlossener Receiver das höhere Gleichspannungssignal von beispielsweise 18 V einspeist, zum Abschalten gebracht wird. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass zumindest die anderen angeschlossenen Receiver weiterhin eine gewünschte Umschaltung zum Empfang eines individuell gewünschten Programmes durchführen können.For this reason, it has been provided that the existing head end monitors the DC voltage supplied to it. If the higher switching voltage of, for example, 18 V longer than a certain period of time (ie a certain τ) are present, then a higher load would be switched from the head station, whereby the relevant RF socket, via which a connected receiver, the higher DC signal of, for example, 18th V, is brought to shutdown. This ensures that at least the other connected receivers can continue to perform a desired switching to receive an individually desired program.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von dem gattungsbildenden Stand der Technik eine verbesserte Lösung zu schaffen, um einen betreffenden Receiver abzuschalten, der über eine zu lange Zeitdauer hinweg ein bestimmtes Gleichspannungssignal, beispielsweise ein nur während der Umschaltphase benötigtes hohes Gleichspannungssignal, in das Einkabelsystem oder in ein davon abweichendes Kabelsystem in Baumstruktur einspeist.Object of the present invention is to provide, starting from the generic state of the art, an improved solution to turn off a respective receiver, the over a long period of time, a certain DC signal, such as a required only during the switching phase high DC signal in the Einkabelsystem or feeds into a deviating cable system in tree structure.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is according to the invention in the claim 1 specified characteristics solved. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine Lösung geschaffen, die gegenüber den herkömmlichen Lösungen eine deutliche Verbesserung aufweist. Dabei ist der Gesamtaufbau vergleichsweise einfach und sicher.With the present invention, a solution is provided which has a significant improvement over the conventional solutions. The overall structure is comparatively simple and secure.
Erfindungsgemäß wird nämlich nunmehr eine zum Stand der Technik vergleichbare Funktionalität mit dem Ziel des Abschaltens eines fehlerhaft eingestellten Receivers, der über einen zu langen Zeitraum ein zu hohes Gleichspannungssignal einspeist, dadurch gewährleistet, dass in einer betreffenden HF-Dose oder HF-Steckdose eine Detektionseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die aus sich heraus die eingespeiste Gleichspannung überprüft. Diese Detektions- und Überwachungseinrichtung schaltet dann den angeschlossenen Receiver ab, wenn die eingespeiste Gleichspannung über einen entsprechend vorgebbaren Zeitraum hinweg auf dem zu hohen Gleichspannungsniveau verbleibt. Dabei wird die Zeitdauer τ zum Abschalten eines fehlerhaften Receivers so eingestellt, dass eine bestimmte Anzahl von DiSEqC Kommandos ungehindert den Bus passieren kann. Die erfindungsgemäße HF-Dose mit der entsprechend vorgesehenen Abschaltung ist dabei erst ab einem voreinstellbaren Strom wirksam. Aus diesem Grunde sind an den Empfangsdosen auch normale Multischalter mit einer kleineren Last ohne Weiteres betreibbar.In accordance with the invention, a functionality comparable to the prior art with the aim of switching off an incorrectly set receiver which feeds an excessively high DC voltage signal for too long a period of time is thereby ensured by the provision of a detection device in a respective HF socket or HF socket is that checks out the fed DC voltage. This detection and monitoring device then switches off the connected receiver if the DC voltage supplied remains at the excessively high DC voltage level over a correspondingly predefinable period of time. The time duration τ for switching off a faulty receiver is set so that a certain number of DiSEqC commands can pass through the bus unhindered. The RF socket according to the invention with the appropriately provided shutdown is effective only from a presettable current. For this reason, normal multiswitches with a smaller load are readily operable on the receiving boxes.

Dadurch wird in der Auskoppelstrecke die vom Richtkoppler ausgehende einzige Empfangsleitung 23 in zwei Empfangsleitungen 23a und 23b aufgespalten, die zu einer Schnittstelle 29a bzw. 29b in der HF-Dose führen, an welcher ein entsprechender Receiver 15 angeschlossen werden kann.

Durch diesen Weg wird ein Einspeisepfad definiert, worüber beispielsweise die Matrix-Schaltung 11 oder der Konverter von zumindest einem der angeschlossenen Teilnehmern mit einer den Betrieb ermöglichenden Gleichspannung von beispielsweise 13 V oder 14 V oder dgl. (also einem niedrigeren Gleichspannungspegel) gespeist wird. In der DC-Überwachungseinrichtung 37 wird nunmehr die Zeit überwacht, für welche das Gleichspannungssignal mit höherer Gleichspannung anliegt, beispielsweise ein 17 V oder 18 V-Signal. Arbeitet der entsprechende Receiver 15 ordnungsgemäß, so schaltet dieser Receiver automatisch nach Absendung des DiSEqC Signals innerhalb einer Zeitdauer kleiner als τ wieder auf das Gleichspannungssignal mit niedrigerer Gleichspannung (also beispielsweise 13 V), das in das Verkabelungssystem eingespeist wird, um die Matrix, den Konverter etc. zu betreiben.The feeding of the lower DC voltage signal of 13 V and the supply of the DC signal with, for example, 18 V is e.g. via the
Arbeitet der betreffende Receiver jedoch fehlerhaft oder ist falsch eingestellt und stellt die DC-Überwachungseinrichtung 37 fest, dass das Gleichspannungssignal mit höherer Gleichspannung selbst nach Überschreiten einer vorwählbaren bzw. voreinstellbaren oder vorgegebenen Zeitdauer τ noch anliegt, so unterbricht die Gleichspannungs-Überwachungseinrichtung 37 die Brückenleitung 38 zwischen den beiden Gleichspannungs-Auskoppelleitungen 31a, 31b mittels eines integrierten Unterbrechers 37'.However, if the receiver in question operates incorrectly or is set incorrectly and the
Dadurch ist der fehlerhaft arbeitende Receiver von dem Verkabelungssystem 9 völlig abgeschaltet, so dass die anderen angeschlossenen Receiver problemlos weiterhin eine Umschaltung auf ein gewünschtes Programm vornehmen können.As a result, the erroneously operating receiver is completely disconnected from the
Bevorzugt ist die gesamte Anordnung derart, dass nicht nur die Zeitdauer τ und die Schwellwertspannung eingestellt werden können, bei deren Überschreitung eine Abschaltung vorgenommen wird. Gegebenenfalls ist es auch möglich, die HF-Dose so zu betreiben, dass eine Abschaltung bei Überschreitung einer Schwellwert-Spannung nach Überschreitung der Zeitdauer τ nur dann stattfindet, wenn ein voreinstellbarer Schwellwert für den Gleichstrom zusätzlich erreicht oder überschritten wird.Preferably, the entire arrangement is such that not only the time duration τ and the threshold voltage can be set, when exceeding a shutdown is made. Optionally, it is also possible to operate the HF socket so that a shutdown occurs when exceeding a threshold voltage after exceeding the time period τ only when a presettable threshold value for the direct current is additionally reached or exceeded.
Bei einem derartigen Aufbau sind bei einer erfindungsgemäßen HF-Dose auch normale Multischalter mit einer kleinen Last ohne Weiteres betreibbar.With such a construction, normal multiswitches with a small load can be readily operated in the case of an HF socket according to the invention.
Wie bereits beschrieben, wird bei einem herkömmlichen Multischalter (Matrixschaltung) mit einer Sternverkabelung die Gleichspannung eines angeschlossenen Receivers sowohl zur Versorgung des Multischalters (der Matrixschaltung) als auch zur Auswahl von horizontal oder vertikal polarisierten Eingangssignalen verwendet. Mit anderen Worten wird die Umschaltung von einer niedrigeren Spannung von beispielsweise 13 V auf 18 V gleichzeitig als Umschaltsignal zum Empfang anderer Sender verwendet. Demgegenüber wird - ebenfalls wie beschrieben - in einem Einkabelsystem die vom angeschlossenen Receiver eingespeiste Spannungshöhe vom Einkabel-Multischalter nicht mehr als Umschaltkriterium verwendet, sondern lediglich als Vorrangsmerkmal für den zu sendenden DiSEqC-Befehl, über den die Senderauswahl erfolgt. Ein weiteres Merkmal dieses Einkabel-Multischalters ist der vergleichweise höhere Stromverbrauch, also die höhere Last, die der Receiver versorgen muss.As already described, in a conventional multiswitch (matrix circuit) with star wiring, the DC voltage of a connected receiver is used both to supply the multi-switch (the matrix circuit) and to select horizontally or vertically polarized input signals. In other words, switching from a lower voltage of, for example, 13V to 18V is simultaneously used as a switching signal for receiving other transmitters. On the other hand - also as described - in a single-cable system fed from the connected receiver voltage level of single-cable multi-switch is no longer as switching criterion but merely as a priority feature for the DiSEqC command to send, over which the station selection occurs. Another feature of this single-cable multiswitch is the comparatively higher power consumption, ie the higher load that the receiver must supply.
Hieraus ergibt sich die oben erwähnte vorteilhafte Ausführung der beschriebenen Überwachungseinrichtung. Denn hier könnte ein zusätzliches Kriterium vorgesehen sein, wonach die Überwachungseinrichtung in der HF-Dose erst ab einem für Einkabel-Multischaltern üblichen höhen Strom anspricht.This results in the above-mentioned advantageous embodiment of the monitoring device described above. For here an additional criterion could be provided, according to which the monitoring device in the RF socket responds only from a usual for single-cable multiswitches high current.
In diesem Fall wäre die Überwachungseinrichtung - selbst wenn ein hohes Umschaltsignal von beispielsweise 18V für eine größere Zeitdauer als τ anliegt - generell inaktiv, wenn an die beschriebene erfindungsgemäße HF-Dose nur im Zusammenhang mit normalen Multischaltern (Matrixschaltung) verwendet wird, die mit geringerer Last betrieben werden und bei denen ein höheres Spannungs-Umschaltsignal von beispielsweise 18 V dauerhaft anliegt und als Umschaltkriterium verwendet wird.In this case, even if a high switching signal of, for example, 18V is applied for a longer period of time than τ, the monitoring device would be generally inactive, if the HF socket according to the invention described is only used in conjunction with normal multi-switches (matrix circuit) with a lower load be operated and in which a higher voltage switching signal, for example, 18 V permanently applied and is used as Umschaltkriterium.
