BeschreibungDescription

Nahezu jeder Haushalt besitzt ein oder mehrere Fernsehgeräte mit Infrarot-Fernbedienung, die in der Regel auch mit dieser Ein- und 'Ausgeschaltet' werden. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um ein Abschalten im eigentlichen Sinne, da die Geräte nicht galvanisch vom Netz getrennt werden, sondern lediglich vom Betrieb in den sogenannten 'Stand by Mode' umschalten. In diesem Zusammenhang treten drei Fragestellungen auf.Almost every household has one or more televisions with an infrared remote control, which are usually switched on and off with this remote control. However, this is not a switch-off in the true sense of the word, since the devices are not electrically isolated from the mains, but simply switch from operation to the so-called 'stand-by mode'. Three questions arise in this context.

I. Wie hoch ist der Stromverbrauch ?I. How much power does it consume?

II. Gibt es ein Gefährdungspotential bezüglich defekter Geräte ?II. Is there a potential risk regarding defective devices?

III. Wie kann das Fernsehgerät wirklich abgeschaltet werden ?III. How can the television really be switched off?

Im wesentlichen kann mann drei Gruppen von TV- Geräten unterscheiden:Essentially, one can distinguish three groups of TV sets:

a.) Geräte mit permanenter Vorheizung der Bildröhre nehmen, insbesondere bei älteren Modellen, i. d. Regel mehr als 30 Watt auf.a.) Devices with permanent preheating of the picture tube, especially older models, usually consume more than 30 watts.

b.) Geräte die zwar auf eine Vorheizung der Bildröhre verzichten, bei denen jedoch der Haupttransformator (der auch die IR- Empfangseinheit versorgt), nicht abgeschaltet wird, verbrauchen ca. 10 - 30 Watt.b.) Devices that do not preheat the picture tube, but in which the main transformer (which also supplies the IR receiver unit) is not switched off, consume approx. 10 - 30 watts.

c.) Geräte bei denen die IR- Empfangseinheit von einem separatem Transformator versorgt, und der Haupttransformator abgeschaltet wird, nehmen ca.1 - 5 Watt auf.c.) Devices in which the IR receiver unit is supplied by a separate transformer and the main transformer is switched off, consume approx. 1 - 5 watts.

Generell läßt sich eine mögliche Brandgefährdung durch defekte Fernsehgeräte nicht ausschließen, da zumindest in den o. g. Fällen a.) und b.), die Schmelzsicherungen in den Geräten nach der Betriebsleistungsaufnahme dimensioniert sind. Die dadurch mögliche Fehlerverlustleistung, an einem oder mehreren Bauteilen, kann zu einem kritischen Temperaturanstieg innerhalb bestimmter Bereiche des Fernsehgerätes, in letzter Konsequenz also auch zum Brand desselben, führen.In general, a possible fire hazard caused by defective television sets cannot be ruled out, since at least in the above-mentioned cases a.) and b.), the fuses in the devices are dimensioned according to the operating power consumption. The resulting possible faulty power loss in one or more components can lead to a critical increase in temperature within certain areas of the television set, and ultimately to the television catching fire.

Zu III.To III.

Geräte der Gruppen b.) und c.) lassen sich i. d. Regel durch den Ein/Aus-Schalter am Fernsehgerät vom Netz trennen.Devices in groups b.) and c.) can usually be disconnected from the mains using the on/off switch on the television.

Bei den unter a.) fallenden Geräten ist eine Netztrennung meistens nur durch ziehen des Netzsteckers möglich.For devices falling under a.), disconnection from the power supply is usually only possible by pulling out the power plug.

BeschreibungDescription

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen elektronisch gesteuerten Schalter zu schaffen, der den 'Stand by Mode' eines angeschlossenen Fernsehgerätes erkennt, und als Folge, dieses vom Netz trennt. Außerdem sollte der Schalter mit einer beliebigen IR- Fernbedienung zu aktivieren sein und einen Überspannungsschutz enthalten. Dieses Problem wird mit den in Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating an electronically controlled switch that detects the 'standby mode' of a connected television and, as a result, disconnects it from the mains. In addition, the switch should be able to be activated with any IR remote control and contain overvoltage protection. This problem is solved with the features specified in claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht:The invention achieves:

- erhebliche Energieeinsparung, insbesondere bei älteren Geräten- significant energy savings, especially with older devices

- Schutz vor Wohnungsbränden, ausgelöst durch defekte TV- Geräte im 'Stand by Mode1 - Protection against house fires caused by defective TV sets in 'Stand by Mode 1

- Schutz vor Überspannungen während des Betriebs- Protection against overvoltages during operation

- einfache Bedienung und versteckte Unterbringung des Schalters durch Infrarot- Fernbedienung- easy operation and hidden placement of the switch using infrared remote control

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 angegeben. Die Weiterbildung nach Schutzanspruch 2 ermöglicht, durch die benutzerseitige Einstellung der 'Betrieb' / 'Stand by' Schaltschwelle, den Anschluß zusätzlicher Verbraucher.An advantageous embodiment is specified in claim 2. The further development according to claim 2 enables the connection of additional consumers by setting the 'operation' / 'standby' switching threshold by the user.

Beispielsweise können Satelliten Empfänger, Videorekorder, Fernsehleuchten, etc. im Rahmen der max. zulässigen Gesamtanschlußleistung parallel zum Fernsehgerät geschaltet werden.For example, satellite receivers, video recorders, television lights, etc. can be connected in parallel to the television within the maximum permissible total connected load.

Hierdurch wird eine 'Master- Slave' Anordnung erreicht, d. h. alle angeschlossenen Verbraucher sind eingeschaltet, solange das Fernsehgerät in Betrieb ist.This creates a 'master-slave' arrangement, i.e. all connected devices are switched on as long as the television is in operation.

Funktionsbeschreibung der Elektronik:Functional description of the electronics:

Mit dem einstecken des Gehäuses in eine Steckdose wird die Elektronik über das Netzteil (7) mit Spannung versorgt. (6) und (3) sorgen für eine definiertes 'Aus' des Relais. Das angeschlossene TV- Gerät ist somit vom Netz getrennt.
Tritt durch das IR- durchlässige Fenster (11) intermittierendes IR- Licht einer Infrarot- Fernbedienung, wird dies in (1) detektiert, und (3) schaltet das TV- Gerät für ca. 1 Minute in den 'Stand by Mode', in dieser Zeit muß das Fernsehgerät eingeschaltet werden, andernfalls trennt (3) wieder vom Netz.When the housing is plugged into a socket, the electronics are supplied with power via the power supply unit (7). (6) and (3) ensure that the relay is switched off in a defined manner. The connected TV set is thus disconnected from the mains.
If intermittent IR light from an infrared remote control passes through the IR-permeable window (11), this is detected in (1) and (3) switches the TV set into 'stand-by mode' for approx. 1 minute. During this time the TV set must be switched on, otherwise (3) disconnects it from the mains again.

Wird innerhalb der Zeit eingeschaltet steigt die, der Leistungsaufnahme proportionale Spannung über dem Shunt (5) an. In (2) wird dies ausgewertet, so daß das TV-Gerät bei einer Leistungsaufnahme von mehr als ca. 50 Watt über (3) eingeschaltet bleibt.If the device is switched on within this time, the voltage across the shunt (5) proportional to the power consumption increases. This is evaluated in (2) so that the TV remains switched on via (3) if the power consumption is more than approx. 50 watts.

Wird das Fernsehgerät wieder in den 'Stand by Mode' versetzt, trennt (3) nach ca. 1 Minute vom Netz.
Der Varistor (4) schützt das Fernsehgerät vor Überspannungen im Stromnetz.If the television is put back into 'stand by mode', (3) disconnects from the mains after approx. 1 minute.
The varistor (4) protects the television set against overvoltages in the power supply.
