Background
The wireless switch with the self-power supply function is not required to be connected to a circuit through a cable or a built-in battery, and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy to supply power to a communication module in the wireless switch in a switch pressing mode. Therefore, the self-powered wireless switch is widely applied to switch control of electric appliances due to energy conservation and environmental protection.
The self-powered wireless switches of the prior art generate extremely limited energy, are only capable of transmitting codes in a very short time, and have no capability of receiving and processing signals by themselves. Therefore, the self-powered wireless switch in the prior art cannot be directly accessed to a wireless network such as a Bluetooth MESH network or a ZIGBEE network.
In the existing bluetooth MESH communication protocol, a triple needs to be written in the bluetooth device, that is, three elements, namely an MAC (address), a PID (user information) and a key (encryption information), need to be burned in the bluetooth memory chip. In the process of initial configuration of the bluetooth device and the MESH network, the communication time of about 12 seconds is required for completing wireless configuration. In addition, after the bluetooth terminal device and the MESH network are successfully initially configured, for the security of the network, the MESH network may also communicate with the bluetooth terminal device at regular time (e.g., every 48 hours), and periodically update the key stored in the bluetooth terminal device to improve the security of the MESH network. Therefore, the terminal device of bluetooth must have the capability of continuously receiving signals, and the existing self-powered wireless control device cannot have the function. That is to say, the self-powered wireless switch in the prior art can only control the switch of the electrical appliance through the wireless control device, and cannot be connected to the wireless network, and other electrical appliances are controlled through the wireless network. The energy generated by the self-powered wireless switch device in the prior art is only enough to transmit signals of tens of milliseconds to a communication circuit, and the short communication time cannot be directly connected with a wireless network.
Chinese patent application No. 201880001098.9 discloses a circuit control system and a serial control device and a control method thereof, wherein the circuit control system includes a mobile control device and a serial control device, wherein the serial control device is serially connected to a live wire of a circuit and obtains electric energy from the live wire. The mobile control device sends a control signal to the series control device in a self-powered manner, wherein the series control device receives the control signal of the mobile control device to control the work of the load electric appliance. The control method in the patent only solves the problem that the self-powered switch is connected with the single-live-wire switch, and does not relate to how to solve the problem that the self-powered switch is connected to a wireless network.
The working current of the series self-powered control device in the prior art is small, which is not enough to support the work of two or more wireless communication modules, and can not support the work of the communication module with dual-mode work. Because with the increase of the number of the communication modules, the power consumption of the self-powered control device increases, which will cause abnormal flickering of the electrical equipment, such as a lamp, in the series circuit under the non-working condition, and affect the normal service life of the electrical equipment.

It will be appreciated that the wireless device 300 may also be implemented as other types of wireless devices, such as a wireless local area network. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation of the wireless device 300 is not limited herein.
As shown in fig. 2A, the self-powered switch 10 wirelessly transmits a control signal in a self-powered manner, wherein the wireless controller 20 receives the control signal, executes a control command for controlling the electrical appliance 200 based on the content of the control signal, and/or transmits the control signal to the wireless device 300. That is, the wireless controller 20 has the capability of receiving the self-powered switch 10 signal and the wireless device 300 signal.

The communication module 21 is communicably connected to the power supply module 22 and the circuit control device 23, wherein the communication module 21 receives the control signal transmitted from the power supply switch 10 or the wireless device 300, and transmits a corresponding control instruction to the power supply module 22 and the circuit control device 23 based on the control signal, so as to adjust the operating state of the circuit 100 and adjust the power supply mode of the power supply module 22.
As shown in fig. 2A to 3A, the communication module 21 includes a first communication unit 211 and a second communication unit 212, and a control unit 213, wherein the first communication unit 211 is communicatively connected to the control unit 213, and wherein the second communication unit 212 is communicatively connected to the control unit 213.

In short, the control unit 213 supports the operation of the first communication unit 211 and the second communication unit 212, so that the first communication unit can receive and transmit control information to the wireless device, and the second communication unit 212 can receive the control information transmitted from the power switch 10.
It is understood that the communication module 21 reduces the number of the control units in a manner that the same control unit 213 supports two different communication units to operate, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the communication module 21, which is beneficial to reduce the magnitude of the operating current when the wireless controller 20 operates. It is understood that since the wireless controller 20 is connected to the circuit 100 in series, the wireless controller 20 and the electric appliance 200 are connected in series with each other. Therefore, the current is the same as the operation current of the wireless controller 20 when the electric appliance 200 is in the sleep state. By reducing the number of the control courtyards 213 of the wireless controller 20, the operating energy consumption and the current of the wireless controller 20 can be effectively reduced, so that the current of the electrical equipment 200 in the sleep state is reduced, and abnormal starting of the electrical equipment 200 in the sleep state, such as flickering of a lamp, is avoided.

It is to be understood that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operation/sleep time and the ratio of the first communication unit 211 controlled by the control unit 213 are only used as examples and are not limited. Most preferably, the average current of the direct current 3V voltage of the first communication unit 211 in the standby state is 50uA-1mA, and the consumed power is less than 3 mW.
It is understood that the first communication unit 211 and the second communication unit 212 of the communication module 21 reduce the number of controllers in a manner of sharing the same control unit 213, thereby reducing the power consumption of the communication module 21, particularly the power consumption in the sleep state of the electric appliance 200.

It should be noted that, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the packaging manner of the communication module 21 of the wireless controller 20 is different from that of the first preferred embodiment. Accordingly, the second communication protocol unit 202 is implemented as an integrated chip, wherein the integrated chip stores therein the communication protocol configuration programs, triplets, etc. of the self-powered switch 10. The control unit 213 has the capability of controlling the operation of the first communication unit 211 in a manner of burning the communication protocol of the first communication unit 211 in the control unit 213.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the amount of power consumption of the wireless controller 20 connected in series with the electrical appliance 200 may affect the stability and operating state of the electrical appliance 200 connected in series. If the standby power consumption of the wireless controller 20 is large, the electrical appliance 200 connected in series with the wireless controller may generate an unstable state, especially a lamp using an LED as a light source. LEDs are efficient light sources, and some 3-10W LED lamps can flicker as long as about 100uA of current flows through the LED lamps.
The power supply module 22 electrically connects the communication module 21 and the circuit 100, wherein the power supply module 22 obtains power from the circuit 100 to support the operation of the communication module 21. The power supply module 22 includes a power conversion unit 221 and a pulse width power supply unit 222, wherein the power conversion unit 221 and the pulse width power supply unit 222 are connected to the circuit 100, and convert the current in the circuit 100 into the operating current of the communication module 21 to support the operation of the communication module 21. When the electrical appliance 200 is in a power-off state, a sleep state, or the circuit control device 23 disconnects the circuit 100, the power conversion unit 221 provides power to the communication module 21. When the electrical apparatus 200 is in an operating state or the circuit control device 23 switches on the circuit 100, the pulse width power supply unit 222 provides power to the communication module 21. It should be noted that the power conversion unit 221 and the pulse width power supply unit 222 of the power supply module 22 convert the high-voltage power of the circuit 100 into low-voltage dc power to support the operation of the communication module 21. Preferably, the power conversion unit 221 and the pulse width power supply unit 222 of the power supply module 22 convert the high-voltage alternating current of the circuit 100 into direct current of DC1.5-DC 12V.
It is worth mentioning that the power conversion unit 221 and the pulse width supply unit 222 are located at one end of the circuit control device 23, i.e. at a side close to the input end of the circuit 100. The electric energy conversion unit is electrically connected to the live wire 110 and the zero wire 120 of the circuit 100, and when the electrical device 200 is in a sleep state or the circuit control device 23 controls the circuit 100 to be disconnected, the electric energy conversion unit 221 converts the electric energy of the circuit 100 and transmits the converted electric energy to the communication module 21. Preferably, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power conversion unit 221 is an efficient AC-DC unit to provide the wireless controller 20 with operating power by the leakage current of the circuit 100 when the electrical device 200 is closed. The power conversion unit 221 is a switching power supply, and its operating current is less than 150uA @ AC 220V. Illustratively, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an LNK3202D switching power chip is used to provide standby operating power for the communication module 21 of the wireless controller 20. It is to be understood that the type and model of the power conversion unit 221 is merely exemplary and not limiting.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the operation current generated by the operation of the power conversion unit 221 when the electrical appliance 200 is in the sleep state flows through the electrical appliance 200, such as a lamp, without causing abnormal activation of the electrical appliance 200.
The pulse width power supply unit 222 is serially connected to the power line 110 of the circuit 100, and when the circuit control device 23 turns on the circuit 100, the pulse width power supply unit 222 is controlled by the control unit 213 of the communication module 21 to obtain the power of the circuit 100. It can be understood that when the circuit control device 23 turns on the circuit 100, the voltage difference of the power conversion unit 221 to the circuit 100 is zero, so that the power conversion unit 221 stops working, and the control unit 213 controls the pulse width power supply unit 222 to start to supply power to the communication module 21.
When the communication module 21 receives the control information sent by the power supply switch 10 or the control information of the wireless device 300 to control the circuit control device 23 to switch on the circuit 100, the control unit 213 of the communication module 21 controls the pulse width power supply unit 222 to take power from the circuit 100. The pulse width power supply unit 222 periodically draws power from the circuit 100 based on the control signal of the control unit 213 to support the operation of the communication module 21. The pulse width power supply unit 222 is serially connected to the points a and b of the power line 110, wherein the pulse width power supply unit 222 intermittently disconnects to obtain the ac power support from the points a and b of the power line.
As shown in fig. 4, the pulse width power supply unit 222 is controlled by the control unit 213 to periodically obtain ac power from the circuit 100 and convert the ac power of the circuit 100 into low-voltage dc power for supporting the operation of the communication module 21. Preferably, the pulse width power supply unit 222 periodically draws power around a zero-point potential of the alternating current of the circuit 100 based on the control signal of the control unit 213, so that the pulse width power supply unit 222 obtains the alternating current power of 10-30V between two points of a point and b point. The pulse width power supply unit 222 converts the AC power of 10-30V into DC power of 1.5-5V for supporting the operation of the communication module 21.
Preferably, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pulse width power supply unit 222 is a MOS transistor, wherein the MOS transistor is electrically connected to the points a and b of the live line 110 of the circuit 100. When the circuit control device 23 switches on the circuit 100, the pulse width power supply unit 222 is controlled by the control unit 213 to be periodically switched off for a period of time near the zero point of the alternating current, wherein the MOS transistor obtains electric energy based on the MOS field effect transistor being periodically switched off near the zero crossing point of the alternating current. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the pulse width power supply unit 222 periodically disconnects the power line 110 of the circuit 100 with a narrow pulse width to obtain power for the circuit 100. It should be noted that the time for the pulse width power supply unit 222 to disconnect the power line 110 is very short, which does not affect the normal operation of the electrical device 200, and the change is not noticeable to human eyes and senses.
As shown in fig. 3A, the circuit control device 23 is serially connected to the live wire 110 of the circuit 100, wherein the circuit control device 23 is controlled by the control unit 213 to control the operating state of the electrical appliance 200. Preferably, the circuit control device 23 controls the operating state of the live wire 110 of the circuit 100, and thus controls the on and off of the electrical appliance 200. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the circuit control device 23 can be, but is not limited to, a relay switch, wherein the relay switch is disposed in the live line of the circuit 100. When the relay switch is closed, the circuit 100 is switched on, and the electrical device 200 is in a working state, so that the two ends of the electrical energy conversion unit 221 are short-circuited to stop working.
