The switch control unit 21 controls the selected switching element unit 22a based on the operation change signal and the input received by the operation input unit 12.
Fig. 2B is a diagram illustrating the switching element section 22a of the switching device 1. Here, the description will be given taking the switching element section 22a among the switching element sections 22a to 22c as a representative example.
The switching element section 22a includes transistors Tr1 and Tr2 connected in series with each other, a diode d1 connected in parallel to the transistor Tr1, and a diode d2 connected in parallel to the transistor Tr 2.

The control unit 20 operates the notification unit 30 based on the selection signal and the input received by the selection input unit 11, and notifies the user of the load to be changed.
[1-3. Structure of operation terminal ]
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the operation terminal 50 of the switch system 2.
The operation terminal 50 includes: a terminal input unit 50a that receives inputs for controlling the loads L1 to L3; a communication unit (first communication unit) 50 b; a control unit (first control unit) 50c that controls each of the loads L1 to L3; and a notification unit 50 d. The terminal input unit 50a, the communication unit 50b, and the notification unit 50d are connected to the control unit 50 c.
The communication unit 50b is constituted by, for example, a radio module and an antenna. The communication unit 50b communicates with the switch device 1 through wireless communication r 1. Specifically, the communication unit 50b transmits the control signal output from the control unit 50c to the communication unit 40 of the switching device 1.
The terminal input unit 50a is a part that receives a predetermined operation input from the user for controlling the loads L1 to L3. The terminal input unit 50a is, for example, a capacitance-type touch panel, and has a flat operation surface. The terminal input unit 50a includes a selection input unit 51 and a work input unit 52, which will be described later. The selection input unit 51 and the operation input unit 52 are provided on the same operation surface.
The selection input unit 51 receives an input for selecting one or more loads among the loads L1 to L3. The selected one or more loads may be, for example, one load L1, two loads L1 and L2, or all loads L1 to L3. The operation input unit 52 receives an input for changing the operation state of one or more loads selected by the selection input unit 51. For example, when the loads L1 to L3 are lighting fixtures, the operation input unit 52 receives an input for changing the operation state of the lighting fixtures with respect to dimming.
The control unit 50c includes a CPU (central processing unit) for performing arithmetic processing, and a storage unit 50 e. The storage unit 50e includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (read only Memory). The storage unit 50e stores programs for controlling the loads L1 to L3. The program is saved in the storage unit 50e by, for example, downloading.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a program executed by the control unit 50c of the operation terminal 50. The procedure comprises the following steps: a first step (S11) of receiving, by the terminal input unit 50a, an input for controlling the plurality of loads L1 to L3; a second step (S12) of outputting, from the controller 50c, control signals for controlling the plurality of loads L1 to L3, based on the input received by the terminal input unit 50 a; and a third step (S13) of transmitting the control signal output from the control unit 50c to the switching device 1 via the communication unit 50 b.
Based on this program, the control unit 50c outputs a selection signal for selecting the one or more loads based on the input received by the selection input unit 51. The control unit 50c outputs an operation change signal for controlling the operation state of the selected one or more loads based on the input received by the operation input unit 52. The output selection signal and operation change signal are transmitted to the switching device 1 via the communication unit 50 b. The control unit 50c causes the terminal input unit 50a to display necessary for each input.
The notification unit 50d is a part that notifies the user of the load selected by the selection input unit 51. The notification unit 50d is, for example, a touch panel. The touch panel of the notification unit 50d also serves as the terminal input unit 50a as an interface for input and output. The control unit 50c operates the notification unit 50d based on the input received by the selection input unit 51, and notifies the user of the load to be changed. Note that the notification unit 50d is not limited to a touch panel, and may be a speaker that outputs sound.
Here, an operation method using the operation terminal 50 is explained with reference to fig. 7A and 7B. Fig. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation performed using the operation terminal 50. Fig. 7B is a diagram showing another example of an operation performed using the operation terminal 50.
The operation surface of the terminal input unit 50a is rectangular when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the operation surface, and has a side extending in the longitudinal direction LD and a side extending in the short-side direction SD.
As shown in fig. 7A, the selection input unit 51 receives a touch input along the short side direction SD of the terminal input unit 50a, and thereby receives inputs for selecting the loads L1 to L3. For example, in a scene in which load L1 is selected, load L2 is selected when the finger of the user touching terminal input unit 50a is moved once to the positive side in short side direction SD. When the finger is moved once more to the positive side in the short side direction SD, the load L3 is selected. When the finger is moved once more to the positive side in the short side direction SD, all of the loads L1 to L3 are selected.
In a scene in which loads L1 to L3 are selected, load L3 is selected when the finger of the user touching terminal input unit 50a is moved once to the negative side in short side direction SD. When the finger is moved once more to the negative side in the short side direction SD, the load L2 is selected. When the finger is moved once more to the negative side in the short side direction SD, the load L1 is selected.
As shown in fig. 7B, the operation input unit 52 receives a touch input along the longitudinal direction LD of the terminal input unit 50a, thereby receiving an input for changing the operation state of the load selected by the selection input unit 51. Fig. 7B shows a state in which load L1 is selected by selection input unit 51 and the flag (No. 1) corresponding to load L1 is turned on.
When load L1 is selected, the finger of the user touching terminal input unit 50a is moved to the positive side or the negative side in longitudinal direction LD, thereby changing the operating state of load L1. For example, in a scene in which the load L1 as a lighting fixture is off, when the finger is moved 25mm to the plus side in the longitudinal direction LD, the lighting fixture becomes 50% on, and when the finger is moved 50mm, the lighting fixture becomes 100% on. In a scene where the load L1 as a lighting fixture is turned on at 100%, when the finger is moved 25mm to the negative side in the longitudinal direction LD, the lighting fixture is turned on at 50%, and when the finger is moved 50mm, the lighting fixture is turned off. In this manner, the operation input unit 52 receives an input for changing the operation state such that the operation state of the load L1 changes stepwise or continuously in accordance with the movement of the finger.

In addition, in a state where the load L1 is selected, when the first icon i1 is pressed, the selection of the load L1 is released. In addition, when all the first icons i1 to i3 are pressed, all the loads L1 to L3 are selected.
The operation input unit 52 receives an input based on the second icons i4 and i5, and thus receives an input for changing the operation state of the selected load. For example, in a scene in which the load L1 as a lighting fixture is off, when the second icon i4 is pressed once, the lighting fixture becomes 50% on, and when pressed once more, the lighting fixture becomes 100% on. In addition, in a scene in which the load L1 as a lighting fixture is 100% lit, when the second icon i5 is pressed once, the lighting fixture becomes 50% lit, and when pressed once again, the lighting fixture is turned off. In this manner, the operation input unit 52 receives an input for changing the operation state such that the operation state of the load L1 changes stepwise in accordance with the touch operation.
The notification unit 50d is a unit that notifies the user of the operating state of the selected load. The notification unit 50d is, for example, an indicator (indicator) and is provided on the same operation surface as the terminal input unit 50 a. The control unit 50c operates the notification unit 50d based on the operation change signal, and notifies the user of the operation state of the load to be changed. Note that the notification unit 50d is not limited to the indicator, and may be a speaker that outputs a sound.
As described above, in the switch device 1 of the modified example, the plurality of loads L1 to L3 can be controlled by the switch device 1 provided in the single-use mounting frame 8 based on the control signal received by the communication unit 40. That is, the plurality of loads L1 to L3 can be controlled by the switchgear 1 having a smaller size than the multiple-use apparatus.
The operation terminal 50 may further include a notification unit 50d, the notification unit 50d may present the selected one or more loads (for example, the load L1) or the operating state of the one or more loads L1, and the first control unit 50c may operate the notification unit 50d based on the selection signal or the operation change signal.
Thus, the user can grasp the operation state of the currently selected load L1 or the selected load L1 by operating the terminal 50.
