When pushing the operation convex portions 32a (that is, switch SW 11 is ON) that constitutes the on/off operation button, send the open/close control signal of the lamp L that is used to reverse, for example the ON/OFF signal.In addition, when pushing the operation convex portions 32b (that is, switch SW 12 is ON) that forms the light modulation action button, send the control signal of the light adjusting grade that is used to increase lamp L, for example light lightens signal.When pushing the operation convex portions 32c (that is, switch SW 13 is ON) that constitutes the light modulation action button, send the control signal that is used to reduce lamp L light adjusting grade, for example light dims signal.In addition, when push form light adjusting grade recording/recovering button operation convex portions 32d (promptly, switch SW 14 is ON) time, send and to be used to write down required light adjusting grade or current light adjusting grade is become the control signal of the light adjusting grade that has write down, for example light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal.And, when pressing operation convex portions 32e (that is, switch SW 15 is ON), send the control signal that is used to carry out timer operation, for example the timer control signal.
On the other hand, because the operation of test button switch SW 1 always of the control circuit unit 40 of switch main body 1 is imported or is imported from the signal of sensitive device 41, therefore when sensitive device 41 receives control signal,, control circuit unit 40 come the operation of control Driver Circuit 42 to control the illumination output of lamp L thereby responding the control signal that receives.
At this moment, when input light adjusting grade control signal, sensitive device 41 receives the light adjusting grade control signal that is used to increase or reduce light adjusting grade, and control circuit unit 40 increased or reduced the conduction angle of switching device Q2 this moment, thus brighten or the deepening direction on change the light adjusting grade of lamp L.After this, when the input of light adjusting grade control signal stops, current light adjusting grade is stored in the flash memory (not shown) that is embedded in the control circuit unit 40 automatically.Automatically the light adjusting grade of storage and the light adjusting grade separate storage and the management of user record, this will be described later.In addition, when sensitive device 41 receives the ON/OFF signal, be under the situation of closing at lamp L, control circuit unit 40 is opened to lamp L the light adjusting grade of storing in the flash memory, under the situation that lamp L is out, L shuts with lamp, alternately repeats the ON/OFF of lamp L at this light adjusting grade thus.In addition, when sensitive device 41 when receiving continuously light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal in the longer time than predetermined lasting time (for example 2 seconds), control circuit unit 40 writes down current light adjusting grade in onboard flash memory (for example storage device).Then, when sensitive device 41 received light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal in the time shorter than predetermined lasting time, control circuit unit 40 became the light adjusting grade that writes down in the flash memory with the current light adjusting grade of lamp L.And, when sensitive device 41 receives the timer control signals, control circuit unit 40 L that turns on the light, and shut lamp L afterwards at predetermined timing time (for example 60 seconds).
In addition, describe the operation of this embodiment in detail with reference to figure 5.At first, push the operation convex portions 32a of remote control main body 3 at close moment t1 as the user, thereby when switch main body 1 sends the ON/OFF signal, the control circuit unit 40 of switch main body 1 is opened to the light adjusting grade of storing in the onboard flash memory with lamp L, wherein is stored in the flash memory automatically in this light adjusting grade light adjusting grade control operation process formerly.Because the initial value of light adjusting grade is 100% in initial condition, so control circuit unit 40 is opened to complete light adjusting grade with lamp L.Then, when the user pushes the operation convex portions 32c of remote control main body 3 at t3, thereby when switch main body 1 sent light and dims signal, the control circuit unit 40 of switch main body 1 made the light adjusting grade of lamp L descend gradually from 100% (light adjusting grade fully).Then, when the user when t4 releasing operation convex portions 32c stops to send light and dims signal, control circuit unit 40 stops to reduce light adjusting grade, keeps current light adjusting grade, and current light adjusting grade is stored in the onboard flash memory automatically.Then, when the user at t5 once more during pressing operation convex portions 32a, the ON/OFF signal sends to switch main body 1 from remote control main body 3, thereby makes the control circuit unit 40 of switch main body 1 that lamp L is become closed condition from the lighting dimming state.
Then, when the key shake-up handle 2 in close moment t7 push switch main body 1 closed push-button switch SW1, control circuit unit 40 is the L that turns on the light fully in response to the operation input of push-button switch SW1.In addition, when pushing key once more touching handle 2 and come cut-off push button switch SW 1 when at t8, control circuit unit 40 is shut lamp L in response to the operation input of push-button switch SW1.
Subsequently, when the user push during at t9 remote control main body 3 operation convex portions 32a and with the ON/OFF signal when remote control main body 3 sends to switch main body 1, control circuit unit 40 is opened to the light adjusting grade A1 that stores in the onboard flash memory with lamp L, and wherein this light adjusting grade A1 light adjusting grade control operation process formerly is stored in the flash memory.In addition, at the moment of lighting dimming t11, when pressing operation convex portions 32a once more, once more the ON/OFF signal is sent to switch main body 1 from remote control main body 3, thereby make control circuit unit 40 lamp L be become closed condition from the lighting dimming state in response to this ON/OFF signal.
As mentioned above, in this embodiment,, for example operate convex portions 32b and 32c by pressing the light modulation action button, can be at the light adjusting grade that changes lamp L away from the place of switch main body 1.Therefore, because therefore the user has improved the convenience of use going to bed and seeing under the situation of TV and need not just can carry out the light modulation operation near the installation site of switch main body 1.
In addition, when the key of push switch main body 1 touched handle 2, lamp L is turned on or shut to control circuit unit 40 fully.On the other hand, when pushing the operation convex portions 32a of remote control main body 3, control circuit unit 40 is opened to the light adjusting grade that is stored in the previous light adjusting grade control operation process in the flash memory with lamp L, perhaps closes lamp L.Because the user utilizes the key shake-up handle 2 that is installed to the switch main body 1 on the given wall to turn on fully usually or shuts lamp L, it is therefore preferable that in response to the operation of key shake-up handle 2 and turns on or shut lamp L fully.In addition, when dimming light and shut lamp L, the user goes to bed, after this when waking up toilet etc. midnight, he can be opened to lamp L the light adjusting grade of former reduction by the operation convex portions 32a that pushes remote control main body 3, prevent that thus he is dizzy, and improved the convenience that uses.
Because the user utilizes remote control main body 3 to carry out the on/off operation of lamp L seeing under the situations such as TV, sleep, so control circuit unit 40 can be by (for example gradually becoming desired value with light adjusting grade in time t1~t2, t5~t6, t9~t10, the t11~t12) and prevent that the user from feeling uncomfortable and preventing that the user is dizzy in the predetermined gradual change time.In addition, because the user touches the push-button switch SW1 that handle 2 is pushed the switch main body 1 that is installed to building by key under the situation that enters or withdraw from a room, therefore do not need to change gradually the light output of lamp L.That is, when operation signal is when push-button switch SW1 imports, changes to desired value at once and change the light output of lamp L at short notice by light output with lamp L.
When the user pressed the operation convex portions 32d of remote control main body 3, remote control main body 3 sent light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal to switch main body 1.Thereby when the long-time pressing operation convex portions of user 32d when sending continuously light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal in longer a period of time than predetermined lasting time (for example 2 seconds), promptly when photo detector 41 receives light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal in a period of time longer than predetermined lasting time, control circuit unit 40 with current light adjusting grade as the light adjusting grade of user record and be recorded in the onboard flash memory.After this, when when pushing the operation convex portions 32d of remote control main body 3 in short a period of time, at short notice this light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal is sent to switch main body 1 from remote control main body 3 than predetermined lasting time.At this moment, because sensitive device 41 is receiving this light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal than predetermined lasting time in short a period of time, therefore control circuit unit 40 reads the light adjusting grade of user record in response to this light adjusting grade recording/recovering signal from flash memory, and lamp L is opened to the light adjusting grade of reading.Equally, if the user is by operating operation convex portions 32b and 32c and the light adjusting grade of lamp L being adjusted to required light adjusting grade, and he long-time push convex portions 32d writes down current light adjusting grade then, so because by pressing operation convex portions 32d and lamp L is opened to required light adjusting grade in short time only, thereby can improve the facility of use.Although in this embodiment, the light adjusting grade of storage automatically and/or the light adjusting grade of user record are stored in the flash memory that is embedded in the control circuit unit 40, also these light adjusting grades can be stored in any nonvolatile memory, as EEPROM.
