That is, the first processing unit may generate a signal indicating the content of the user instruction based on the change in capacitance caused by the touch operation by the user. The instructions include, for example, a lighting instruction and a lighting instruction. The instructions may also further comprise instructions to change the brightness value and instructions to change the color temperature value.

The touch sensor panel 22 (functional panel) is located on the front side of the wall WB and is located closer to the front WB1 (+x-side surface) of the wall WB than the panel 21. More specifically, in the touch-sensitive panel 22, the rest is located on the front side of the wall WB, except for a part of the first connector terminal portion described with reference to fig. 1.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB can be widened as compared with a structure in which the touch-sensitive panel 22 is disposed further inside (-X side) than the front face WB1 of the wall WB, and therefore, an operation of mechanically connecting the first power cord of the power cord 10 to the first external power cord in the space SP and an operation of folding and housing the connected first power cord and first external power cord in the space SP become easy. As a result, the operation of setting the lighting control device 100 to the wall WB becomes easy.

Next, the illumination control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be further described with reference to fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, the illumination control apparatus 100 further includes a connection line 11. The power supply board 8 further includes a switch section 85. That is, the third mounting member further includes a switch portion 85.

One end of the connection line 11 is connected to the second substrate 61, and the other end of the connection line 11 is connected to the third substrate 81. Therefore, the connection line 11 electrically connects the control board 6 and the power supply board 8. The connection line 11 transmits the first driving power from the power supply substrate 8 to the control substrate 6. Also, the connection line 11 transmits a signal for controlling the AC/DC converter 82 from the control substrate 6 to the power supply substrate 8. As will be described later, the second processing unit 62 controls the switching unit 85. The connection line 11 transmits a signal for controlling the switching section 85 from the control substrate 6 to the power supply substrate 8.

The switch section 85 is mounted on the-X side main surface of the third substrate 81. The switching section 85 includes, for example, a triac or a triac. The operation of the switch unit 85 is controlled by the second processing unit 62.

The power cord 10 also has a second power cord electrically connected to the lighting fixture. Inside the switch box SB, a second external power cord connected to the lighting fixture also extends. The second power line is mechanically connected to a second external power line in a space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB. As a result, the second power cord of the power cord 10 is electrically connected to the lighting fixture.

In the present embodiment, the power supply board 8 also generates driving power to be supplied to the lighting fixture based on the ac voltage transmitted from the first power supply line to the power supply board 8. Hereinafter, the driving power supplied to the lighting fixture is sometimes referred to as "second driving power". Specifically, the second processing unit 62 of the control board 6 controls the AC/DC converter 82 to generate the second driving power from the power source board 8.

The second processing unit 62 controls the switching unit 85 to turn on and off the lighting fixture. In the present embodiment, the control signal described with reference to fig. 1 is a signal for controlling the switching unit 85. Specifically, when the lighting fixture is to be turned off, the second processing unit 62 turns off the switch unit 85. After the switch section 85 is turned off, the supply of the second driving power to the lighting fixture is stopped, and the lighting fixture is turned off. The second processing unit 62 controls the on/off of the switching unit 85, and supplies the second driving power to the lighting fixture to turn on the lighting fixture.

The second processing unit 62 may control the switching unit 85 to change the luminance value or the color temperature value of the lighting apparatus. For example, the second processing section 62 may also change the waveform of the voltage that supplies the second driving power to the lighting fixture, thereby causing the lighting fixture to change the luminance value or the color temperature value. Specifically, the second processing section 62 changes the timing of turning on and off the switch section 85 in accordance with the touch operation by the user. As a result, the waveform of the voltage supplied to the lighting fixture changes. The waveform of the voltage supplied to the lighting fixture represents the change instruction content of the luminance value or the color temperature value. The lighting apparatus changes the luminance value or the color temperature value based on the waveform of the voltage supplied from the lighting control device 100.

According to the present embodiment, the space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB can be widened as compared with a structure in which the touch-sensitive panel 22 is disposed further inside (-X side) than the front face WB1 of the wall WB, and therefore, an operation of mechanically connecting the second power line of the power line 10 to the second external power line in the space SP and an operation of folding and storing the connected second power line and second external power line in the space SP become easy. As a result, the operation of setting the lighting control device 100 to the wall WB becomes easy.

Next, the illumination control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be further described with reference to fig. 2 and 3. As shown in fig. 3, the touch-sensitive panel 22 also has a number of light-emitting elements 222. That is, the first mounting member further includes a plurality of light emitting elements 222. The light emitting element 222 emits light. The light emitting element 222 includes, for example, a LED (Light Emitting Diode) element.

The plurality of light emitting elements 222 includes first to eighth light emitting elements facing the first to eighth display units 101 to 108 described with reference to fig. 2, respectively. The first display unit 101 to the eighth display unit 108 described with reference to fig. 2 transmit light. Therefore, the light emitted from the first light emitting element is transmitted through the first display portion 101. As a result, the first display unit 101 is turned on. Similarly, the light emitted from the second to eighth light-emitting elements passes through the second to eighth display units 102 to 108, respectively, and the second to eighth display units 102 to 108 are each turned on. In addition, the touch sensing panel 22 may also have a plurality of first light emitting elements. Similarly, the touch-sensitive panel 22 may have a plurality of second light-emitting elements to a plurality of eighth light-emitting elements.

The second processing unit 62 controls the turning-off and turning-on of the plurality of light emitting elements 222. More specifically, the second processing unit 62 controls the turning-off and the turning-on of the first to eighth light emitting elements independently. As a result, the turning-off and the turning-on of the first display unit 101 to the eighth display unit 108 are independently controlled by the second processing unit 62.

Next, an example of the first to eighth light-emitting elements will be described. In this embodiment mode, each of the first to third light-emitting elements includes a light-emitting element that emits white light and a light-emitting element that emits blue light. The fourth light-emitting element and the eighth light-emitting element include light-emitting elements that emit white light. The fifth to seventh light-emitting elements each include a light-emitting element that emits white light and a light-emitting element that emits orange light.

The second processing unit 62 can control the first light emitting element to turn on the first display unit 101 to white or blue. Similarly, the second processing unit 62 can control the second light emitting element and the third light emitting element, respectively, so that the second display unit 102 and the third display unit 103 are each turned on in white or blue.

The second processing unit 62 can control the fourth light emitting element to turn on the fourth display unit 104 (power button) to white. Similarly, the second processing unit 62 can control the eighth light emitting element to turn on the eighth display unit 108 to white.

The second processing unit 62 can control the fifth light emitting element to turn on the fifth display unit 105 to white or orange. Similarly, the second processing unit 62 can control the sixth light emitting element and the seventh light emitting element, respectively, to turn on the sixth display unit 106 and the seventh display unit 107 to white or orange, respectively.

Next, an example of a touch operation to the touch panel 2 will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4. Fig. 4 shows an example of a touch operation performed by the user on the touch panel 2.

In the present embodiment, the operation modes of the second processing unit 62 include a standby mode, a dimming mode, and a toning mode. The standby mode is an operation mode in which the second processing unit 62 is turned off when the control object (lighting fixture) of the lighting control apparatus 100 is turned off. The dimming mode and the toning mode are both operation modes of the second processing unit 62 when the control object (lighting fixture) of the lighting control apparatus 100 is in the lighted state. In the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 receives a command to change the luminance value of the lighting fixture from the lighting control device 100. In the color matching mode, the second processing unit 62 receives a command to change the color temperature value of the lighting fixture from the lighting control device 100.

As shown in fig. 4, the touch-sensitive panel 22 includes a first operation portion 121a, a second operation portion 121b, a third operation portion 121c, a fourth operation portion 121d, a fifth operation portion 121e, and a sixth operation portion 121f. The first to fifth operation portions 121a to 121e are arranged in this order along the Z-axis direction. Specifically, the first to fifth operation units 121a to 121e are arranged in this order toward the lower side (-Z side) in the vertical direction. The sixth operation portion 121f is located on one side of the first operation portion 121 a. In the present embodiment, the sixth operation portion 121f is located on the-Y side (left side) with respect to the first operation portion 121 a.

Specifically, the first operation portion 121a faces the first display portion 101. The second operation portion 121b faces the second display portion 102 and the third display portion 103. The third operation portion 121c faces the fourth display portion 104. The fourth operation portion 121d faces the fifth display portion 105 and the sixth display portion 106. The fifth operation section 121e faces the seventh display section 107. The sixth operation portion 121f faces the eighth display portion 108.

The third operation unit 121c receives an operation to turn on the lighting fixture and an operation to turn off the lighting fixture. For example, when the lighting apparatus is in the off state, the user clicks the third operation unit 121c with the hand H1, and then the lighting control device 100 (the second processing unit 62) turns on the lighting apparatus. On the other hand, when the lighting apparatus is in the lighted state, the user clicks the third operation unit 121c with the hand H1, and then the lighting control device 100 (the second processing unit 62) turns off the lighting apparatus.

The sixth operation unit 121f receives an operation to switch the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 to one of the dimming mode and the toning mode. For example, in the lighting state, the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is alternately switched between the dimming mode and the toning mode every time the user clicks the sixth operation unit 121f with the hand H2.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the first to fifth operation units 121a to 121e receive an operation of changing the luminance value of the lighting fixture.

For example, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the user performs the first sliding operation S3 by the hand H3, and then the lighting control device 100 (the second processing unit 62) increases the luminance value of the lighting fixture. The first sliding operation S3 is a sliding operation performed across at least 2 of the first to fifth operation portions 121a to 121e along the +z direction. The increase in the luminance value means an increase in the luminance of light emitted from the lighting fixture.

In contrast, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the user performs the second sliding operation S4 by the hand H4, and then the lighting control device 100 (the second processing unit 62) decreases the luminance value of the lighting fixture. The second sliding operation S4 is a sliding operation performed across at least 2 of the first to fifth operation portions 121a to 121e in the-Z direction. The decrease in luminance value refers to a decrease in luminance of light emitted from the lighting fixture.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color matching mode, the first to fifth operation units 121a to 121e receive an operation of changing the color temperature value of the lighting fixture.

For example, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color mixing mode, the user performs the first sliding operation S3 by the hand H3, and then the illumination control apparatus 100 (the second processing unit 62) increases the color temperature value of the illumination device. The increase in the color temperature value means that the cool color of the light emitted from the lighting fixture increases, and the color temperature of the light becomes high.

In contrast, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color mixing mode, the user performs the second sliding operation S4 by the hand H4, and then the illumination control apparatus 100 (the second processing unit 62) reduces the color temperature value of the illumination device. The decrease in color temperature value means that the warm color of the light emitted from the lighting fixture increases, and the color temperature of the light becomes lower.

Next, an example of the operation of the touch panel 2 will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4. As described with reference to fig. 2 and 3, the first to eighth display units 101 to 108 transmit light. The second processing unit 62 controls the turning on and off of the first to eighth light emitting elements independently, thereby controlling the turning on and off of the first to eighth display units 101 to 108 independently.

For example, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the standby mode, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the fourth display unit 104 (power button) and turn off the first to third display units 101 to 103 and the fifth to eighth display units 105 to 108. That is, when the lighting fixture is turned off, the fourth display portion 104 may be turned on, and the first to third display portions 101 to 103 and the fifth to eighth display portions 105 to 108 may be turned off. In the present embodiment, when the lighting fixture is turned off, the fourth display portion 104 is turned on in white. As a result, even when the installation position of the illumination control apparatus 100 is dark (for example, at night), the user can visually confirm the position of the fourth display portion 104 (power button).

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the first display unit 101 (arrow-shaped) and the seventh display unit 107 (arrow-shaped), and turn off the second display unit 102 to the sixth display unit 106 and the eighth display unit 108. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 turns on the first display unit 101 (arrow-shaped) and the seventh display unit 107 (arrow-shaped) in white.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the first to third display units 101 to 103 and the seventh display unit 107 and turn off the fourth to sixth display units 104 to 106 and the eighth display unit 108 after the first sliding operation S3. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 turns on the first to third display units 101 to 103 and the seventh display unit 107 in white after the first sliding operation S3 is performed.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the first display unit 101 and the fifth display unit 105 to the seventh display unit 107, and turn off the second display unit 102 to the fourth display unit 104 and the eighth display unit 108 after the second sliding operation S4. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the dimming mode, the second processing unit 62 turns on the first display unit 101 and the fifth to seventh display units 105 to 107 in white after the second sliding operation S4 is performed.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color matching mode, the second processing unit 62 may set the first display unit 101 (arrow-shaped), the seventh display unit 107 (arrow-shaped), and the eighth display unit 108 to the on state, and the second display unit 102 to the sixth display unit 106 to the off state. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color matching mode, the second processing unit 62 turns on the first display unit 101 (arrow-shaped) in blue, and turns on the seventh display unit 107 (arrow-shaped) in orange. The eighth display section 108 is turned on in white.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color mixing mode, after the first sliding operation S3, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the first to third display units 101 to 103 and the seventh to eighth display units 107 to 108, and turn off the fourth to sixth display units 104 to 106. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color matching mode, after the first sliding operation S3, the second processing unit 62 turns on the first to third display units 101 to 103 in blue, and turns on the seventh display unit 107 in orange.

When the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color mixing mode, the second processing unit 62 may turn on the first display unit 101 and the fifth to eighth display units 105 to 108 and turn off the second to fourth display units 102 to 104 after performing the second sliding operation S4. In the present embodiment, when the operation mode of the second processing unit 62 is the color matching mode, the second processing unit 62 causes the first display unit 101 to be lighted in blue and causes the fifth display unit 105 to the seventh display unit 107 to be lighted in orange after the second sliding operation S4.

Next, a modification of the illumination control apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a modification of the illumination control apparatus 100 of the present embodiment. Specifically, fig. 5 shows a cross section of the lighting control device 100 along the line A-A in fig. 2.

In the modification of fig. 5, the control board 6 is also located on the front side (+x side) of the wall WB in addition to the touch panel 2. Specifically, in the modification of fig. 5, the thickness of the board frame 3 and the mounting frame 4 in the X-axis direction is thicker than the board frame 3 and the mounting frame 4 in fig. 3. As a result, the control board 6 is located on the front side (+x side) of the wall WB.

According to the structure of fig. 5, the space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB can be further widened as compared with the structure of fig. 3, and thus the operation of setting the lighting control device 100 to the wall WB becomes easier.

In the modification of fig. 5, the power supply board 8 is disposed from the through hole of the wall WB to the inside of the wall WB, but at least the third board 81 may be located on the front side (+x side) of the wall WB in the power supply board 8. For example, by further increasing the thickness of the board frame 3 and the mount frame 4 in the X-axis direction, the third substrate 81 can be positioned on the front side (+x-side) of the wall WB. As a result, the space SP is further widened, and thus the operation of setting the lighting control device 100 to the wall WB becomes easier.

As described above, the embodiments of the present utility model are described with reference to the drawings (fig. 1 to 5). However, the present utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be implemented in various manners within a range not departing from the gist thereof. The plurality of components disclosed in the above embodiments may be appropriately changed. For example, some of the whole components shown in one embodiment may be added to the components of other embodiments, or some of the whole components shown in one embodiment may be deleted.

For ease of understanding, the respective components are mainly schematically shown in the drawings, and for convenience of drawing, thicknesses, lengths, numbers, intervals, and the like of the respective components may be shown as being in and out of reality. The configuration of each component shown in the above embodiment is an example, and is not particularly limited, and various modifications can be made without substantially departing from the effects of the present utility model.

For example, in the embodiments described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the lighting control device 100 is described as being provided on a wall of a room, but the lighting control device 100 may be provided on a wall of a corridor or a stairs, or may be provided on a wall of an external wall. The control target of the lighting control device 100 may be an outdoor lamp.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the lighting control device 100 and the lighting apparatus are connected by a wire, but the lighting control device 100 and the lighting apparatus may be connected by a wireless. That is, the lighting control apparatus 100 may transmit an instruction to turn on or off, a change instruction of a luminance value or a color temperature value to the lighting fixture through wireless communication. The wireless communication may be, for example, a short-range wireless communication such as ZigBee or Bluetooth, or an infrared communication. In addition, in the configuration in which the lighting control device 100 performs wireless communication with the lighting fixture, the power supply board 8 does not supply power to the lighting fixture. The lighting fixture is electrically connected to an external power source such as a commercial power source, without via the lighting control apparatus 100.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the heat sink 83 is provided in the power supply substrate 8, but the heat sink 83 may be omitted.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the lighting control device 100 includes a plurality of light emitting elements 222, but the plurality of light emitting elements 222 may be omitted.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the wireless communication unit 63 is provided in the illumination control apparatus 100, but the wireless communication unit 63 may be omitted.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the touch panel 2 is of a capacitive type, but the mode of detecting a touch operation is not limited to the capacitive type. For example, the touch operation may be detected by a resistive film type, a surface acoustic wave type, an infrared type, or an electromagnetic induction type.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the touch panel 2 is fixed to the first case member 5, but the touch panel 2 may be detachably fixed to the first case member 5. For example, the touch panel 2 may be detachably locked to the decorative plate 1 by a claw portion formed on the decorative plate 1 or the touch panel 2. Alternatively, the touch panel 2 may be detachably attached to the decorative plate 1 by the magnetic force of the magnets provided on the decorative plate 1 and the touch panel 2. Alternatively, the touch panel 2 may be slidably fitted to the decorative plate 1.

In the structure in which the touch panel 2 is detachably fixed to the decorative plate 1, the touch panel 2 may be driven by electric power supplied from a battery. For example, the following means may be adopted: the touch panel 2 is driven by power supplied from a battery in a state of being removed from the decorative board 1, and is driven by power supplied from the power supply board 8 in a state of being attached to the decorative board 1. The battery may also be built in the touch panel 2. Alternatively, the battery may be mounted on the touch panel 2 in a replaceable manner.

In the structure in which the touch panel 2 is detachably fixed to the decorative plate 1, the touch panel 2 can also remotely operate the control board 6. Specifically, the touch panel 2 performs wireless communication with the control board 6, and transmits a signal indicating the user operation content to the control board 6, for example. The wireless communication may be, for example, a short-range wireless communication such as ZigBee or Bluetooth, or an infrared communication.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the illumination control apparatus 100 includes the panel 21 (touch panel 2) as the operation unit, but the operation unit is not limited to the panel 21 (touch panel 2). The operation unit may be configured to receive an operation by a user. For example, the operation unit may have a physical switch such as a push button switch or a rotary switch. The operation unit may have a display such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. Alternatively, the operation unit may have a non-contact sensor. For example, the illumination control apparatus 100 may be provided with a non-touch display.

The non-contact sensor detects the operation of the user in the air. For example, the non-contact sensor may detect the operation of the user by infrared rays. In particular, the non-contact sensor may also have an infrared frame. The infrared frame detects the position of a finger or the like entering the infrared frame. Therefore, the operation of the user can be detected by the non-contact sensor, as in the case of the touch panel 2. By providing the illumination control apparatus 100 with a non-contact sensor, the user can operate the illumination control apparatus 100 without touching the panel with a finger or the like.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the first processing unit is provided on the touch-sensitive panel 22 and the second processing unit 62 is provided on the control board 6, but the illumination control apparatus 100 may include only one of the first processing unit and the second processing unit 62. For example, in a configuration including only the first processing unit out of the first processing unit and the second processing unit 62, the processing performed by the second processing unit 62 is performed by the first processing unit. Similarly, in the configuration including only the second processing unit 62 out of the first processing unit and the second processing unit 62, the processing performed by the first processing unit is performed by the second processing unit 62.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the wireless communication unit 63 is provided on the control board 6, but the wireless communication unit 63 may be provided on the touch sensor panel 22.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the illumination control device 100 includes the control board 6, but the control board 6 may be omitted. In this case, the first processing unit of the touch-sensitive panel 22 executes the processing of the second processing unit 62, and the wireless communication unit 63 is provided on the touch-sensitive panel 22. By omitting the control board 6, the space SP between the illumination control apparatus 100 and the switch box SB can be further widened.

In the embodiment described with reference to fig. 1 to 5, the space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB is further widened, and the operation of installing the lighting control device 100 to the wall WB is facilitated, but the function of the lighting control device 100 may be improved instead of widening the space SP between the lighting control device 100 and the switch box SB.

For example, a larger-sized high-performance wireless communication LSI or wireless communication module may be mounted to improve communication performance, or an antenna circuit board may be additionally provided to improve communication performance. Alternatively, communication performance may be improved by placing a member that interferes with radio waves at a position away from the wireless communication section 63. Alternatively, a larger-sized high-performance CPU or a larger-sized memory having a larger storage capacity may be mounted to enhance the processing performance or processing speed. Alternatively, the heat sink 83 having a larger size may be mounted to improve heat dissipation performance, so that a power supply circuit capable of handling a larger load capacity may be configured. A larger insulation distance can be ensured between the power supply circuit and other components (for example, the control board 6), and thus a power supply circuit capable of coping with a larger load capacity can be constituted.
