相关申请数据
本申请要求于2012年3月2日提交的美国临时申请号61/606,129的权益，在此通过引证的方式将其全部内容并入本文。
背景技术
本公开主要涉及电连接器，更特别地，涉及供用于连接低压直流电源系统的具有无线控制功能的电连接器。
用于将低压直流电源连接到低压直流供电设备(powered device)如照明器具、传感器等上的系统是本技术领域已知的。例如，美国专利号7,997,901、美国专利号8,062,042、美国专利号7,679,222和美国专利号7,762,821(这些专利在此以引证的方式将其全部内容并入本文)公开了支撑导电材料的各种栅格系统，所述栅格系统电连接到低压直流电源上并提供了可连接到低压直流供电设备的接触表面。这些专利还描述了各种类型的连接器，所述连接器提供了将低压直流供电设备连接到栅格系统的接触表面上的方式。虽然所述连接器对于它们的预期目的是有效的，但下文描述了对这种连接器的改进。
概述
下文描述的是一种改进的连接器，除其他优点，该连接器的优点在于能够无线控制地供能给低压直流供电设备，该低压直流供电设备通过使用连接器连接到低压直流电源上。虽然并不旨在限制，但本发明的连接器可用来将低压直流供电设备连接到前述任一项的低压直流电源栅格系统上，低压直流电源电缆上，和/或直流电源系统中的其他断开点/连接点上。当与低压直流电源系统连接使用时，本发明的连接器可设置有一个或多个机械结构，例如上述专利中描述的那些，从而能使本发明的连接器可释放地连接于其上。
虽然上文提供了本发明的连接器的概括性描述，但通过下面的详细说明以及附图将更好地理解本发明的连接器的目的、优点、特征、性能和关系，其中阐述了示例性实施方式并显示了可使用本发明的原理的各种方式。
附图简述
为了更好地理解本发明，可以参照以下的附图：
其中，图1示出了具有无线通信功能的连接器的示例性组件的原理图。
发明详述
下面参照图1，原理图例示了用于从低压直流电源12供能给低压直流供电设备13如照明设备、传感器等的示例性连接器10。
为了使连接器10连接到低压直流电源12上，连接器10包括线路侧接口14，其由一个或多个电触头组成，电触头设置用于与低压直流电源12连接的相应电导体或表面相配合。线路侧接口14的电触头可根据需要容纳到具有机械结构的壳体中，以使连接器10可释放地附接到低压直流栅格系统(grid system)、低压直流电源电缆和/或低压直流电源系统中的其他断开点/连接点。虽然不是限制性的，但无线连接器10也可以通过使用绝缘刺穿型触头(IPC型触头)、绝缘位移式触头(IDC型触头)、推入式触头、压接式触头(crimp type contact)、焊接式触头等附接到连接有低压直流电源的导线上。
为了使连接器10连接到低压直流供电设备13上，该连接器包括负载侧接口15，其由一个或多个适于配合导线16、插头等的电触头组成(其中一个或多个电触头可根据需要容纳到相同的或另一个具有机械结构的壳体中)，所述配合导线16、插头等连接有低压直流供电设备13。因此，没有限制，负载侧接口15的电触头也可是推入式触头、IDC型触头、IPC型触头、压接式触头、焊接式触头等。
为了控制从线路侧接口14供能给负载侧接口15，并相应地供能给连接到负载侧接口15上的设备13，该连接器10还包括电源控制器17。如图1所示，电源控制器17经由电连接18电连接到线路侧接口14，并经由电连接19电连接到负载侧接口15上。例如，电源控制器17可包括半导体基电子设备如光电隔离器、场效应晶体管(FET)、晶体管等。电源控制器17还连接到无线接收器或收发器20上，正如下文所述，无线接收器或收发器20用于通过电连接22提供控制信号给电源控制器17。电力通过可选的直流-直流变换器(DC-DC converter)24提供给无线接收器或收发器20，该直流-直流变换器经由电连接26连接到无线接收器或收发器20，经由电连接28连接到线路侧接口14。无线接收器或收发器20也可以直接连接到线路侧接口14。应当理解的是，也可以采用供能给无线接收器或收发器20的其它装置，例如，通过使用电池供能、通过使用环境射频电力采集供能等。还应当理解的是，图1中例示的各种组件之间的电连接可以是非限制性的形成在印刷电路板(PCB)、电线等上的迹线(trace)。
更具体地，为了控制供能到负载侧接口15，无线接收器或收发器20适用于经由电连接22，响应于无线接收器或收发器20从远程设备如开关、控制中心等接收到控制信号而发送控制信号给电源控制器17。优选地，远程设备和无线接收器或收发器20适用于通过使用无线射频传输来通信。电源控制器17，相应地，适用于经由电连接22响应向其传输的控制信号，以通过电连接18和19，控制从线路侧接口14供能给负载侧接口15。在这方面，通过无线接收器或收发器20提供给电源控制器17的控制信号，可用来简单地打开或关闭负载侧接口15和线路侧接口14之间的电源连接。可以预期的是，通过无线接收器或收发器20提供给电源控制器17的控制信号，也可用来限制从线路侧接口14提供给负载侧接口15的电量，例如，以提供调光效果(dimming effect)。还应当理解的是，在使用收发器20的情况下，连接器10可允许有电源控制器17，以及相应的设备13相关的状态数据，和/或根据需要通信给其它远程设备的其他数据。虽然未例示，但连接器10可另外包括机构或其他装置，用于使用户设置(或在制造时预设置)地址，从而通过接收器或收发器20能够与连接器10通信，以对此明确目的，这将会在有限区域中想要使用多个连接器的实例中是特别有用的。
虽然已经详细说明了本发明的具体实施方式，但本领域的技术人员将会明白，根据本说明书公开的全部教导，能够对那些细节进行各种修改和替代。因此，应当理解的是，所描述的特征并不旨在限制到任何特定的实施方式中，而是可以在整个可适用的实施方式中自由的使用。此外，可以理解的是，所示和所述组件的尺寸、形状、设置和/或数量，可根据需要改变以满足给定的需求。因此，公开的特定配置对于本发明的保护范围仅意味着示例性的，而不是限制性的，其范围由所附权利要求书及其任何等同的全部范围给定。
