Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to a covering and mounting structure for motion detector, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and electronic adjustment controls, connected to devices. It relates, in particular, to two motion detector lenses mounted on the covering and mounting structure disposed in pendant arrangement, and two embodiments and other improvement features.
  • LEDs light emitting diodes
  • a motion sensor is typically mounted on wall, eaves, ceiling or post locations.
  • the sensor includes electronic adjustment controls, which allow variable settings to adjust the electronic and/or optical performance of the product. Also included are light emitting diode (LED) indicators, which indicate the electronic status of the product. Additionally, physical masking of the passive infra-red (PIR) lens is included. This limits the detection area covered by the sensor. Furthermore, detection directional control is commonly controlled, by aiming the sensor in the appropriate general direction. Such directional adjustment is being achieved via mechanical joints.
  • the motion detector is electrically connected to devices such as security lighting, audio alarms, and the like, which can be bodily incorporated to the motion detector or separately as a stand-alone unit.
  • EP-A-0542170 describes a PIR detector having a rotationally symmetrical reflector element that deflects heat rays impinging through a housing window so that they impinge on an infrared sensor.
  • a multiplicity of Fresnell lenses are provided in the housing window, which can be cylindrical.
  • One prior art combined motion detector and security lighting device comprises typically a mounting plate equipped with at least a motion detector and at least one security lighting.
  • the United States Patent No. Des. 424,727 discloses an ornamental design for a combined motion detector and security lighting device. Two spotlights are disposed above a motion detector.
  • US patent no. 5,739,753 discloses a sensor which includes blinder devices which can be individually set, ahead of the sensor elements, to permit the region being monitored to be tailored to the particular room or location.
  • the prior art device can include electronic adjustment controls which allow variable settings to adjust the electronic or optical performance of the device. These electronic adjustment controls are often covered to enhance the appearance of the device and to avoid exposure to environmental influence. These covers conventionally are separate plastic pieces which can easily drop off, get damaged or lost during installation, or during subsequent operation.
  • the device can further include LED indicators which indicate the electronic status of the device.
  • LED indicators When light emitting diodes (LEDs) are employed, they are commonly on permanent display. However in certain applications, it is preferable to conceal them from sight.
  • a PIR motion detector lens is employed to focus infra-red energy onto an internal sensor mechanism.
  • Physical masking of the motion detector lens is often required to limit or regulate the detection area by partially covering the lens. Invariably this is achieved via the use of plastic parts, whilst this solution may work, the masking material can easily be dropped, damaged or lost. In many cases, the replacement process is time consuming and sometimes difficult assembly method is involved.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a robust, integrated and easy-to-use covering and mounting structure whereby the electronic adjustment controls, LED display, and motion detector lens, or part thereof, can be concealed selectively.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a covering and mounting structure with enhanced detection capability.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a covering and mounting structure of an integrated aesthetic appearance, when compared with conventional design configurations.
  • the present invention provides a covering and mounting structure according to claim 1.
  • the invention provides certain improvement features to a prior art motion detector, particularly its covering and mounting structure.
  • the fundamental improvement feature is to adopt a telescopic design for the covering and mounting structure, where no separate covering structure is required.
  • One improvement feature is to incorporate two motion detector lenses on a covering and mounting structure disposed in pendant arrangement, where one lens is downwardly viewing and the other lens is laterally viewing.
  • Another improvement feature is to allow the motion detector lenses to be utilised in a pendant arrangement, whereby the sensor body is always able to hang vertically down from ceiling or wall installations.
  • Another improvement feature is to incorporate one motion detector lens on a covering and mounting structure in a standing post arrangement, where the lens is laterally viewing.
  • Still another improvement is that the product features can be selectively concealed by a covering structure when the telescopic design is not employed.
  • the covering and mounting structure is of telescopic design. Furthermore, the covering and mounting structure can be disposed in pendant or standing post arrangement. In pendant arrangement, two motion detector lenses are employed, one is downwardly viewing and the other laterally viewing.
  • the covering and mounting structure further comprises an inner tube or channel, an outer tube or channel and an intermediate tube or channel.
  • the inner tube or channel carries a downwardly viewing first motion detector lens, and a laterally viewing second PIR motion detector lens above the first motion detector lens.
  • the inner tube or channel also carries LEDs and electronic adjustment controls.
  • the outer tube or channel serves to receive said intermediate and inner tubes or channels.
  • a first embodiment of the invention is elaborated in the form of a cylindrical telescopic covering and mounting structure (10a) disposed in a pendant arrangement.
  • the covering and mounting structure (10a) is either wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted as shown in Figures 8 and 9 , respectively.
  • a cylindrical telescopic covering and mounting structure (10a) is shown in its fully extended position.
  • Electronic adjustment controls (11), LEDs (12), a second PIR motion detector lens (14) and a first motion detector lens (13) are carried on the covering and mounting structure (10a).
  • the first motion detector lens (13) is downwardly viewing and provides a limited motion detection.
  • the second PIR motion detector lens (14) is laterally viewing and provides wider motion detection.
  • the covering and mounting structure (10a) comprises an inner tube (1), an intermediate tube (2) and an outer tube (3), and the three tubes (1, 2, 3) are telescopically assembled.
  • the inner tube (1) carries the downwardly viewing first motion detector lens (13), and the laterally viewing second PIR motion detector lens (14) above the first motion detector lens (13).
  • the inner tube (1) also carries the LEDs (12) and the electronic adjustment controls (11), with the electronic adjustment controls (11) placed above the LEDs (12).
  • the outer tube (3) and said intermediate tube (2) serve to receive said inner tube (1).
  • a sensor bottom cover (15), to which the electronic adjustment controls (11), the LEDs (12) and the second PIR motion detector lens (14) are bodily connected, is allowed to move up and down, but limited by the position of the intermediate tube (2) and the outer tube (3).
  • the tubes (2, 3) are attached together, with the assistance of mechanical means such as clips, to create an enclosure in which the inner tube (1) is able to move.
  • These tubes (2. 3) are also the interface tubes, whereby these designs are adapted to provide the mechanical interface with the device to which the sensor is being applied.
  • a sensor top cover (18) is jammed or secured with a suitable mechanical means between the intermediate and inner tubes (2, 1).
  • a horizontal protrusion (181) is provided around the internal circumference of the sensor top cover (18).
  • a plurality of grooves (151) is provided throughout the length of the inner tube (1) at pre-determined interval on its external circumference. The horizontal protrusion (181) engages appropriate groove (151) on the up and down movement of the inner tube (1) at each adjustment position.
  • a side to side or pan adjustment is also provided by an axial rotation created between the outer tube (3) and the sensor top cover (18). This is being achieved by means of a vertical protrusion (31) inside the outer tube (3) and an interfacing boss on the sensor top cover (18).
  • the electronic adjustment controls (11), the LEDs (12) and the laterally viewing second PIR motion detector lens (14) are progressively and selectively concealed by adjacent tube (2, 3), when retracting the inner tube (1) into the intermediate and outer tubes (2, 3).
  • the inner tube (1) is partially retracted.
  • the LEDs (12), the full second PIR motion detector lens (14), and the downwardly viewing first motion detector lens (13) are visible.
  • the inner tube (1) is further retracted.
  • the full second PIR motion detector lens (14) and the first motion detector lens (13) are visible.
  • the inner tube (1) is further retracted. Only part of the second PIR motion detector lens (14) and the full first motion detector lens (13) are visible.
  • the inner tube (1) is completely retracted.
  • the electronic adjustment controls (11), the LEDs (12) and the second PIR motion detector lens (14) are now concealed. Only the first motion detector lens (13) is visible.
  • the covering and mounting structure (10a) can be mounted on a wall or on a ceiling.
  • a wall-mounted and a ceiling-mounted covering and mounting structure (10a) are as shown in Figures 8 and 9 , respectively.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention depicts a telescopic cylindrical covering and mounting structure (10c) disposed in a standing post arrangement, with electronic adjustment controls (11), LEDs (12) and second PIR motion detector lens (14), in a fully extended position, as shown in Figure 10 . It is important to note that only one laterally viewing second PIR motion detector lens (14) is provided on the covering and mounting structure.
  • the covering and mounting structures (10a, 10c) are all cylindrical in shape. It is obvious to those skilled in the arts that the covering and mounting structure (10) can be constructed in a non-cylindrical shape. In that situation, non-circular channel is employed instead of tube in the telescopic design.
