The intelligent switch also has a switch 101. Switch 101 may be actuated to connect or disconnect the positive power connection with the load connection. The intelligent switch further comprises a control device. The control apparatus includes a control module 800 and an execution module 800 a. The control module 800 is electrically connected to the execution module 800a and is used for controlling the execution module 800a to operate. The actuating module 800a is configured to actuate the switch 101, such that the switch 101 acts to connect the positive power connection terminal 100 to the load connection terminal 900 or disconnect the positive power connection terminal 100 from the load connection terminal 900.

The execution module 800a includes: a housing 801, a drive block 802, a driver 803, and a driver 300. One end of the driver 803 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the housing 801, and the output shaft thereof is connected to the driving block 802 for controlling the driving block 802 to rotate in the housing. In one embodiment, the driver 803 is a rotary motor.

As shown in fig. 3 to 4, the driving member 300 has a plate-shaped body 301, and the plate-shaped body 301 has a shape similar to a switch button of a conventional household light switch. The driver 300 also has a lever 302 located below the plate-like body 301. Lever 302 may be integrally formed with plate-like body 301, or may be a separate member and fixedly attached to plate-like body 301. Toggle 302 is preferably located in the middle of the plate-like body. Here, the lever 302 may be considered a first end of the driving member 300, and the plate-shaped body 301 may be considered a second end of the driving member.

The plate-shaped main body 301 is associated with the switch 101. When the plate-shaped main body 301 swings, the switching member 101 correspondingly operates to disconnect or connect the positive power supply terminal from the load connection terminal.

As shown in fig. 5-6, the outer surface of the driving block 802 is formed with a spiral groove 803. Helical groove 803 divides the drive block into two parts, a first drive block part 804 and a second drive block part 805. Helical groove 803 is provided with a linear groove 808 between the first and second drive block portions, i.e. at both ends of helical groove 803. The linear slot 808 is parallel to the central axis of the drive block 802.

The housing and faceplate can be made similar to conventional light switches. The plate-like body of the driving member can also be made similar to the push button of a conventional light switch. When the intelligent switch is operated, the action of the plate-shaped main body of the driving piece is similar to the action of a key of a traditional light switch. When the user uses the keyboard, the user seems to see an invisible hand to drive the key, so that the interest is increased.

As shown in fig. 7, the control device further includes a charging device, a wireless transceiver 600, and a processing module 700. The input terminals of the charging device, the wireless transceiver 600 and the control module 800 are electrically connected to the processing module 700.

The charging circuit is electrically connected with the rechargeable battery and is used for charging the battery. The positive and negative electrodes of the battery are respectively and electrically connected with the processing module for supplying power. In operation, the wireless transceiver 600, upon receiving an external command, sends the command to the processing module 700. The processing module 700 interprets the instruction and controls (on/off) the execution module accordingly through the control module 800.

The operation of the intelligent switch of the present application is described below.

When the intelligent switch is in an 'off' state, the tail end of a deflector rod of the driving piece is positioned in the linear groove and attached to the first flange, the right end of the plate-shaped main body of the driving piece is positioned below a balance state point and limited on the second limiting device on the right side of the inner wall of the shell, and the left end of the deflector rod is positioned above the balance state point. When the switch is to be opened, the wireless transceiver receives an "on" command, such as a voice command or other command. And sending the instruction to a processing module, analyzing the instruction by the processing module, and correspondingly controlling (opening) the switch through a control module. At the moment, the motor rotates along one direction to drive the driving block to rotate along the same direction, the rotation of the driving block enables the first flange to have certain thrust to the tail end of the deflector rod, and the first flange slides in the linear groove at a certain speed under the thrust and drives the plate-shaped main body to swing. At this time, the right end of the plate-like body starts to rise and the left end starts to fall. When the tail end of the shifting rod is attached to the second flange, the motor stops rotating, and the function of turning on the switch is achieved. Meanwhile, a power supply positive connecting end (live wire), a switching piece, a load and a power supply negative connecting end (zero line) form a loop, the load works (a household lamp is on), a charging circuit works, and a battery is in a charging state.

When the intelligent switch is in an 'on' state and the switch is to be closed, the wireless transceiver receives an 'off' instruction, the instruction is sent to the processing module, the processing module analyzes the instruction, and the control module correspondingly controls (closes) the switch. The motor rotates in the opposite direction to drive the driving block to rotate in the same direction. The rotation of the driving block enables the second flange to have certain thrust to the tail end of the deflector rod. The deflector rod slides in the linear groove at a certain speed in the opposite direction under the thrust and drives the plate-shaped main body to swing. The right end of the plate-like body starts to descend and the left end starts to ascend. When the tail end of the deflector rod is attached to the first flange, the right end of the plate-shaped main body is positioned below the balance state point and limited on the second limiting device on the right side of the inner wall of the shell, and the left end of the deflector rod is positioned above the balance state point. The motor stops rotating, and the function of turning off the switch is realized. At the same time, the hot line is disconnected and the load is not working (the household light is not on). The charging circuit does not operate. The battery still powers the processing module, wireless transceiver, and control module. At this time, no leakage phenomenon occurs in the system.

Furthermore, the user can also manually operate: for example, the left end of the plate-shaped main body is pressed down to the first limiting device on the left side of the inner wall of the shell, the tail end of the deflector rod slides to the second retaining edge from the first retaining edge in the linear groove, and the right end of the plate-shaped main body is positioned above the balance state point, so that the function of turning on the switch is realized. Otherwise, the function of closing the switch is realized.

The relevant personnel performed the following tests: for the test of the existing household intelligent switches, the actual working time of the lamp in one day is about 4h, a plurality of lamps are arranged in a common household, a plurality of intelligent switches (for example, 4 intelligent switches) are correspondingly arranged, about 20h of the intelligent switches in one day are in a standby state, one intelligent switch consumes about 0.01 degrees in the standby state, about 0.04 degrees in the standby state of the 4 intelligent switches in one day, and about 14.6 degrees in the standby state of the 4 intelligent switches in one year. The intelligent switch control system is applied to the existing household, and the phenomenon of electric leakage does not occur when 4 intelligent switches do not work, so that about 14.6 degrees of electricity can be saved by 4 intelligent switches in one year.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be understood that aspects of the embodiments can be modified, if necessary, to employ aspects, features and concepts of the various patents, applications and publications to provide yet further embodiments.

These and other changes can be made to the embodiments in light of the above detailed description.
