Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connection device is known from DE 28 01 122 A1.
  • Connection devices are usually provided in electrical installations in the form of sockets to which the consumer is connected with a mains plug. There are also applications in which the consumer is switched or controlled via control lines. Like the supply lines, these control lines are part of an electrical house installation.
  • DE 28 01 122 describes a telecontrol system for the selective control of consumers, in particular in a motor vehicle.
  • a ring line system is provided for the supply of the individual consumers, to which the consumer can be connected via a circuit breaker.
  • the control of the circuit breaker is operated by a receiver that can be controlled by a central transmitter using pulse telegrams.
  • the receivers are supplied with voltage via the ring line system. Control lines and supply lines thus meet in the receivers.
  • DE 38 24 325 A1 describes a pair of contacts consisting of a plug and socket, in which the socket is only energized when a plug is inserted. This is achieved in that the plug releases the light flow in a light guide when plugged into the socket.
  • sockets are used which, in addition to the usual connections for protective conductors, center conductors or the like, have at least one socket and additional sockets for each live mains conductor, which can be connected to voltage by a remote switching device.
  • the additional sockets enable a large number of circuits for remote control, for example the switching of a device with a surge switch by means of a button which is arranged in another device.
  • the remote control line connected to the additional sockets is connected to a pole of the mains voltage via a remote control switch.
  • the control elements are not controlled via an interface, but directly via the remote control with mains voltage.
  • DE 28 32 942 A1 describes a house control system in which Additional data can be transmitted via the power supply network.
  • the data are transmitted and / or received at the connection points of the power supply network and the consumer is switched or the power consumption of the consumer is controlled in accordance with this data.
  • Control commands can therefore be transmitted via the power supply network which are executed at the receiving location with the energy of the power supply network.
  • Information can also be transmitted in this way.
  • connection device for the connection of an electrical consumer is described, with an interface with control lines for the control of a control member.
  • the connection device is part of a digital signal transmission system for home automation, in which universal interfaces are accommodated in the installation boxes, all of which have the same structure.
  • Each of these universal interfaces can be coupled with a device adapter, which is placed in front of the interface contained in an installation box.
  • the interface contains a microprocessor with address memories.
  • the supply voltage which is the mains voltage of 220 V, is transmitted via the interface.
  • the data transmission takes place via a bus line network consisting of control lines, while the energy supply takes place via the power grid.
  • control lines and supply lines meet within the same installation space (the installation box).
  • the installation box There is a risk that lines or components that are intended for the transmission and processing of the control signals with the much higher supply voltage in Come into contact.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connection device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, in which there is no risk that the supply voltages will be applied to components of the control system and which can be easily converted for different needs.
  • connection device In the connection device according to the invention, two different installation spaces are provided in the form of installation boxes, one of which is intended for the supply part and the other for the control part.
  • the supply section normally carries an AC voltage of 220 V, while the control section is operated with DC voltage of 12 V or 24 V.
  • the connection device has two separate installation spaces, it nevertheless forms a uniform overall device.
  • the connecting part is formed by the adapter plug, which establishes the connection from the socket to the connection point for the electrical device. This connection is made via the actuator also contained in the adapter plug, which is controlled by the control system.
  • a major advantage is that the socket can be operated in the usual way as a socket, but in connection with the adapter plug is part of a connection device controllable via control lines.
  • the interface housed in the separate installation room is a simple contact connection for connecting the control lines to the adapter plug.
  • the interface can also perform complex functions and, for example, contain a microprocessor which processes the data supplied via the control lines and converts them into command signals for the control element.
  • the control element can either also be part of the interface or it can also be contained in the adapter plug.
  • the control element and the control element controlled by the control element are preferably electrically isolated from one another.
  • the control element is part of the control system, while the control element belongs to the supply system.
  • connection device is particularly suitable for home control systems as described in the older patent applications DE-A 38 18 601 and DE-A 38 20 613.
  • the interface arranged in an installation space can expediently be a universal interface which is the same for all connection devices of a house control system, while the individualization takes place in accordance with the functions to be carried out and the type of consumer to be connected by means of the intermediate plug, of which different types are available.
  • Any adapter plug can interact with a combination of interface and socket and the consumer receives his voltage from the adapter plug controlled by the signals of the interface. In this way, for example, a lamp with dimmer operation can be controlled remotely or a shutter drive can be controlled.
  • the adapter plug preferably has a plug part which can be inserted into and pulled out of the socket again
  • the adapter plug can also be designed such that it is firmly connected, for example screwed, to the plug part of the socket. In this case, it is possible to remove the adapter plug from the socket, but simply pulling it out of the socket is impossible.
  • the installation space 10 contains a conventional socket 12, which is designed, for example, as a Schuko socket and need not be explained in more detail here.
  • the supply lines 13, which are designated L, N and PE, are connected to the contacts of the socket 12. These supply lines 13 are part of the supply network, which is operated with 220 V AC.
  • Control lines 14 lead into the installation space 11 from the wall.
  • the control lines 14 are connected to the interface 15 arranged in the installation space 11, which is, for example, a decoder which recognizes a specific signal code which is supplied via the control lines 14 for the identification of the connection device and, when this code is recognized, signals a signal outputs its output lines 16.
  • the components contained in the installation rooms 10 and 11 are fastened to sheet metal inserts 17, 18, which are clamped in the usual way to the walls of the installation room with expanding claws (not shown).
  • an aperture frame 19 In front of the wall there is an aperture frame 19 into which an aperture insert 20 of the socket 12 and an aperture insert 21 are used to cover the interface 15.
  • the panel insert 21 contains contacts 22 which are connected to lines 16 and holes through which these contacts 22 are accessible from the outside.
  • connection device described so far can be used in the usual way by inserting the plug of an electrical device into the socket.
  • the intermediate plug 23 When the connection device is used in connection with the control system of the control lines 14, the intermediate plug 23 is placed in front of the cover by inserting the plug part 24 of this intermediate plug into the socket 12.
  • the plug part 24 is designed in the manner of a conventional Schuko plug with plug pins and it projects from the housing 25 of the intermediate plug 23.
  • connection point 26 which is designed in the manner of a socket so that the plug of an electrical device can be plugged into the adapter plug.
  • One terminal 26a of the connection point 26 is connected directly to the one contact pin of the plug part 24, while the other terminal 26b of the connection point 26 is connected to the other contact pin of the plug part 24 via the actuator 27.
  • the actuator 27 consists in the present embodiment of the contact 28a of the control member 28, which is designed as a relay.
  • the control member 28 is connected to contacts 29 which protrude from the housing of the adapter plug 23 and come into contact with the contacts 22 when the adapter plug 23 is attached to the permanently installed device and the connector part 24 is mechanically and electrically connected to the socket 12 becomes.
  • this lamp can be switched on or off by control signals on the control lines 14.
  • the relevant control signals are identified by the decoder 15, which then generates the signals for controlling the control member 28, which in turn is the actuator 27 switches.
  • the interface 15 consists of a decoder.
  • the interface can also contain a microprocessor with address memories.
  • the control element 28 can consist of a dimmer circuit or another linearly operating control circuit.
  • the adapter plug 23 can have a mechanical or electrical coding, by means of which the presence of this adapter plug on the installed unit in the interface 15 is recognized and by which the type of the respective adapter plug in the interface 15 is also identified.
  • the types of adapter plug differ by different control elements 28 and control elements 27 and by different functions that can be carried out with these control elements and control elements.
  • Fig. 2 largely corresponds to the first embodiment, so that the following explanation is limited to the differences. While in the first exemplary embodiment the housing 25 of the intermediate connector extends over the front sides of both installation spaces 10 and 11, the housing 25a of the intermediate connector from FIG. 2 is smaller. This housing also contains a connection point 26 for connecting a consumer and a plug part 24 which can be inserted into the socket 12. However, the contacts 29 are not fastened to the housing 25a, but they are accommodated in an additional plug 30 which is connected to the housing 25a via a cable 31 and which is inserted into a hole in the aperture plate 21, so that its Contacts 29 are connected to the contacts 22 of the interface 15.
