Abstract

The dimmer unit (1) has an external thread (2) for insertion in the lamp socket and an internal thread (7) for accepting the lamp bulb. It is provided with DIP switches for programming for remote control and system coding

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Damit Glühlampen gedimmt werden können, benötigt man entsprechende Elektroinstallationen.Appropriate electrical installations are required so that incandescent lamps can be dimmed.

Es ist bekannt, Lampen zu dimmen, indem man einen Dimmer in die Steckdose steckt und die Lampe damit verbindet. Weiterhin ist es bekannt Dimmer, auch elektronische und funkgesteuerte, fest zu montieren und diese anstelle von normalen Schaltern zu verwenden.It is known to dim lamps by inserting a dimmer into the socket and the lamp connects with it. Furthermore, dimmers, also electronic and radio-controlled, are known to be fixed mount and use this instead of normal switches.

Es ist jedoch nicht möglich, ohne solche Adapter oder Installationen das Licht zu dimmen. Hierbei es aber nötig aufwendige Installationsarbeiten durchzuführen, wobei fundierte Kenntnisse auf diesem Gebiet erforderlich sindHowever, it is not possible to dim the light without such adapters or installations. Here it but necessary to carry out complex installation work, with sound knowledge on this Territory are required

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine einfache Vorrichtung zum einfachen Dimmen von Glühlampen anzugeben.The object of the invention is a simple device for simple dimming of incandescent lamps specify.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1.

Meine Erfindung bietet die Vorteile, eine Glühlampe ohne aufwendige Installationsarbeiten dimmen zu können, da sie ein Nachrüstteil ist und nicht wie viele andere fest montiert werden muss, und dass keine Kenntnisse verlangt werden. Weiter ist es von Vorteil, dass eine Sicherung eingebaut ist, die Verletzungen von Kleinkindern durch Stromschläge vermeidet. Um die Erfindung alltagstauglich zu machen, ist ein Systemcode einstellbar, um mehrere Empfänger parallel mit einer Taste der Fernbedienung zu steuern, oder bis zu fünf voneinander unabhängige Lampen mit einer Fern­ bedienung zu steuern; auch kann man am Empfänger einstellen, mit welcher der Tasten der Fernbedienung man ihn ansteuern will.My invention offers the advantages of dimming an incandescent lamp without complex installation work to be able to, since it is a retrofit part and does not have to be permanently installed like many others, no knowledge is required. It is also advantageous that a fuse is installed that Avoid injuries to young children from electric shock. To make the invention suitable for everyday use  system code can be set to multiple receivers in parallel with one button of the Control remote control, or up to five independent lamps with one remote control operation; You can also set which of the buttons on the receiver Remote control you want to control it.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Fig. 1 dargestellt und wird in folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 and is described in more detail below.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitendarstellung der Erfindung. Diese besteht aus einem Funk-Lichtdimmer 1, der zwischen die Glühbirne 4 und die Lampenfassung 7 geschraubt wird. Der Funk-Lichtdimmer 1 weist dabei eine auf die Maße der Gewindefassung 2 einer Glühbirne 4 abgestimmten Gewindefassung 2 auf. Daran anschließend befindet sich ein Fassungselement 8, in dem die der Glühbirne 4 zugeord­ nete Lampenfassung 7' und die Stromkabel untergebracht sind. Außerdem ist hier eine Sicherung 6 installiert. Im unteren Teil des Funk-Lichtdimmers 1 ist der Empfanger 3 angeordnet. Dieser besteht aus einem länglichen Element, das im Inneren die Empfangselektronik und einen DIP-Schalter 9 zum Einstellen der Programmierung für die zugeordnete Fernbedienung, sowie des Systemcodes aufweist. Außerdem ist an diesem Teil ein Reglerknopf 5, der anstelle der Fernbedienung genutzt werden kann, angeordnet. An dem der Gewindefassung 2 entgegengesetzten Ende des Funk- Lichtdimmers 1 befindet sich eine eingebaute Lampenfassung 7', die zur Aufnahme der Gewindefassung 2 der Glühbirne 4 dient. Fig. 1 shows a side view of the invention. This consists of a radio light dimmer 1 , which is screwed between the light bulb 4 and the lamp holder 7 . The radio light dimmer 1 has a threaded socket on the dimensions of the bulb 2 of a matched threaded socket 4. 2 Then there is a socket element 8 , in which the bulb 4 zugeord Nete lamp holder 7 'and the power cables are housed. A fuse 6 is also installed here. The receiver 3 is arranged in the lower part of the radio light dimmer 1 . This consists of an elongated element which has inside the receiving electronics and a DIP switch 9 for setting the programming for the assigned remote control, as well as the system code. In addition, a control button 5 , which can be used instead of the remote control, is arranged on this part. On which the threaded socket 2 opposite end of the radio light dimmer 1 is on a built-in lamp socket 7 ', which serves to accommodate the threaded socket of the bulb 2. 4

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung funktioniert wie folgt:
Zum Lichtdimmen wird die der Funk-Lichtdimmer 1 in die Lampenfassung 7 eingeschraubt. Anschließend wird die Glühbirne 4 in die Lampenfassung 7' des Funk-Lichtdimmers 1 geschraubt. Nach dem Einstellen der Programmierung am Funklichtdimmer 1 kann letzteres über eine zugeordnete Fernbedienung und das Licht wunschgemäß gedimmt werden. Über den Reglerknopf 5 kann jedoch auch eine Lichtdimmung am Gerät per Hand erfolgen. The device according to the invention functions as follows:
For light dimming, the radio light dimmer 1 is screwed into the lamp holder 7 . The light bulb 4 is then screwed into the lamp holder 7 'of the radio light dimmer 1 . After setting the programming on the radio light dimmer 1 , the latter can be dimmed as desired using an assigned remote control. Using the control button 5 , however, the device can also be dimmed manually.
