Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement to electrical remote control devices, such as remote control switches, timers, relays, time relays. More specifically, the invention relates to such devices which are associated with control means applying to an input of the device an alternating voltage, preferably from the supply network, for a random period or not, these means being usually consisting of push buttons, joysticks, manual switches, etc.
- These devices comprise, in a conventional manner, one or more motor means, for example one or more fixed coils, which are supplied with current, from the alternating network, by a control means such as, for example a push button.
- a control means such as, for example a push button.
- the flow of current through the coil causes the state to change or the device topple over.
- the duration of change of state is short but the duration of the command which gives rise to it is random since it depends on the person or the body which actuates the control means. Consequently, the dimensions and the characteristics of the motor means are determined so as to allow, without deterioration, a long-term, or even permanent, current demand.
- Devices have already been provided intended, in certain cases, to limit in time the duration of current flow in motor means but the devices proposed, or else are not adapted to devices such as those which the invention proposes to improve and which must be of a very low cost price, or else do not have a sufficient operational reliability and are necessarily sized according to their operating voltage.
- the invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks and to provide an improvement to these electrical devices which allows, in order to achieve a very low cost price, to undersize the motor means by limiting their duration of actuation while ensuring the proper functioning of the device whatever the duration and / or the voltage of the control, under conditions at least as good as in the case of conventional electrical remote control devices.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide such an improvement which allows, without exaggerated investments, to have these devices perform more elaborate, more complex and / or additional functions.
- the subject of the invention is an improvement to electrical remote control devices, such as remote control switches, with bistable mechanism, comprising wound motor means intended to be traversed by an alternating electric motor current, in particular from the network to cause a change in state of the device, the new state remaining maintained without consumption of motive electrical energy, and control means actuated for a random period or not to address the motor electric current to the wound motor means, characterized in that the dimensioning of said wound motor means is less than that which would support a continuous passage of the electric motor current or the highest voltage relating to this current, and in that said control means comprise an electronic circuit sensitive to a control member which can be actuated, from an alternating current source, in particular from the network, for a random duration to deliver to said wound motor means, a short-term alternating electric drive motor pulse.
- electrical remote control devices such as remote control switches, with bistable mechanism, comprising wound motor means intended to be traversed by an alternating electric motor current, in particular from the network to cause a change in state of the device, the new state remaining maintained without
- duration is meant, in the sense of the present invention, a duration allowing the passage of a sufficient motive power, coming from the alternating network, in the wound means, to undoubtedly cause the desired change of state.
- This duration is preferably between a few milliseconds or a few tens of milliseconds and a few hundred milliseconds. This also allows said motor means to withstand without damage the overvoltages linked to the different supply voltages.
- the electronic circuit can be arranged, in accordance with the invention, to allow the device to perform usual functions such as timer, relay, time relay, timed remote switches or other more complex functions.
- the electronic circuit is arranged so as to deliver only a single driving pulse when the control member is actuated, even if the actuation of this member lasts longer than said duration of the pulse.
- the two variants can be combined by allowing the electronic circuit to recognize the end of an actuation while establishing, after the end of the electric driving pulse, a refractory period of suitable length, for example calibrated in proportion to the frequency d 'use.
- the electronic circuit can, moreover, be arranged so as to allow the apparatus to perform more complex or additional functions.
- a remote control switch could, in addition to its manual control, be remote controlled with a hierarchy of control.
- the invention is applicable to bistable devices in which each of the two states remains maintained without consumption of motor current. Switching from one state to another can either be subject, in both directions, to an actuation (or end of actuation) of the control member, for example in the case of a remote control switch or d '' a relay, or be done automatically in one of the two directions, for example, at the end of the operation of a timer.
- the remote control switch shown is intended to open and close a switch 1 at terminals P1, P2 of a user circuit. It usually comprises a coil 2 actuating a conventional bistable mechanism 3 with a magnetic armature sensitive to the coil, a spring and means with two stable positions.
- the control means comprise a usual control member such as a push-button switch 4 at the terminals A1, A2 of an actuation circuit of the coil 2 in connection with the alternating current source S.
- an electronic circuit 5 is interposed on the circuit A1, A2 and receives the current, of random duration, coming from a closing of the push-button switch 4.
- This electronic circuit 5, when it is thus actuated by the front amount of the pulse t 1 , delivers at the terminals C1, C2 of the coil 2, a driving pulse of alternating current of length t o predetermined.
- a first actuation of the push-button 4, for any duration t l causes, whatever the length of t l , a pulse t which switches the remote control switch from state 0 (open) to state F (closed).
- Another actuation pulse, of any duration t 2 occurring later, also causes a driving pulse of duration t which switches the remote control switch o from state F to state 0.
- the electronic circuit 5 can thus be produced, very inexpensively, with a conventional thyristor 5a for shaping a pulse t o controlled, through a NAND gate 5b, by the push-button switch 4, and by a monostable time base 5c, itself actuated by the push-button and tilted during a period t, which makes the thyristor insensitive, after each rising edge of pulse t o , for a predetermined period t 3 .
- a conventional thyristor 5a for shaping a pulse t o controlled through a NAND gate 5b, by the push-button switch 4, and by a monostable time base 5c, itself actuated by the push-button and tilted during a period t, which makes the thyristor insensitive, after each rising edge of pulse t o , for a predetermined period t 3 .
- the cross-section of the conductor of the coil 2 is reduced below the value which would be necessary in order to be able to resist a continuous passage of the motor current in the coil.
- These characteristics will depend on the length of the pulse t o and, incidentally, on the duration of the period t 3 , if the latter is very short. This can reduce the price, weight and size of the device.
- the contact 1 is actuated by an assembly 6 comprising the coil 2 and a bistable mechanism 3 comprising in particular an auxiliary contact and a return 7.
- an electronic circuit 9 of so that an actuating pulse of any duration t 5 from the pusher 4 causes the sending, at the terminals C1, C2 of the coil, of a short duration driving pulse t o , which causes the closing of the switch 1 and of the auxiliary contact, and therefore the switching on of the delay means 8.
- the delay means 8 cause the circuit 9 to generate a new driving pulse t o which causes l opening of contact 1 and therefore switching from state F to state O.
- a refractory period t 3 can also be provided and it is possible to in particular use the delay means to make the circuit 9 refractory to any request from the push-button switch 4 during the period t 6 and / or during a refractory period t 3 of a duration adapted to the capacity of the motor means allowing recycling of a new period t ' 6
- the relay represented comprises the switch 1, the coil 2 and the mechanism 3 identical to that of FIG. 1.
- An electronic circuit 10 is interposed between the push-button switch 4 (or an external control contact) and the terminals C1, C2 of the coil.
- This circuit comprises a control assembly 10a actuated, through a NAND gate, in the same way as in the case of FIG. 1.
- This assembly 10a comprises, in known manner, two thyristors 10b, 10c and a capacitor 10d , one of the thyristors 10b generating the first pulse t o at the closing of the member 4 and the other 10c the second pulse t 8 at the end of the actuation time t 7 , this second pulse t being this time -this generated by the capacity 10d.
- the rising edge of the pulse t 7 causes the circuit 10 to generate a driving pulse t o which causes the switching from state 0 to state F.
- the falling edge of the pulse t 7 causes a new driving pulse t 8 to be sent which switches the relay back in the opposite direction.
- a refractory period can be provided following each pulse t 7 .
- the relay shown comprises, in addition to the contact 1, two coils 11 and 12, each similar to the coil 2 and acting one for opening the contact 1 and the other for closing it.
- a usual mechanism 13 connects the contact 1 to the movable armatures of the two coils.
- a circuit electronics 14 is interposed between circuit A1, A2 and terminals C and C1, C and C2 of the respective coils 11 and 12.
- the actuating pulse t 7 causes, by its rising edge, the sending by the circuit 14, of a pulse t o at the terminals C1 and C of the coil 11 and, consequently, the switching of the state O in the state F.
- the falling edge of the pulse t 7 causes the sending, on the terminals C2 and C of the coil 12, of another pulse t 8 which switches the relay from state F to state 0.
- Means can also be provided to make the circuit refractory for a determined period.
- the device according to the invention can be produced in the form of a usual remote control device by incorporating into the usual modular box of the device, or a similar box, the electronic circuit sensitive to the control member.
- this circuit can be incorporated in an independent modular box which is connected on the one hand to the control member and on the other hand to a conventional remote control device, the device according to the invention then being composed of all of these two elements connected together.
