Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass ein Universalladegerät respektive eine an einem dem Anwender bekanten Ort fest installierte, platzsparende Ladestation für nahezu alle gängigen Marken und Typen von USB-Geräten als Unterputzgerät in einer handelsüblichen Unterputzdose geschaffen wird. Es ergibt sich ein einfacher Anschluss des USB-Geräts durch Einstecken des USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers. Es entfällt jegliches Suchen des passenden Ladegerätes, die Ladestation befindet sich vielmehr immer am gleichen Ort. Es ist eine formschöne Einbindung/Integration in ein Installationsgeräte-Programm respektive Schalter- und Steckdosenprogramm sowie eine Kombination mit weiteren Geräten, beispielsweise Schaltern/Tastern/Dimmern/Steckdosen, dieses Schalter- und Steckdosenprogramms möglich.The achievable with the present invention consist in particular in that a universal charger, respectively, a permanently installed at a user place, space-saving charging station for almost all popular brands and types of USB devices is created as a flush-mounted device in a commercial flush-mounted box. The result is a simple connection of the USB device by plugging in the USB charging connector. It eliminates any search for the right charger, the charging station is always located in the same place. It is a shapely integration / integration in an installation equipment program respectively switch and socket program and a combination with other devices, such as switches / buttons / dimmers / sockets, this switch and socket program possible.

In jedem Fall ist das vorgeschlagene Installationsgerät hinsichtlich seines Leistungsverbrauchs optimiert, denn es erfolgt eine primärseitige Abschaltung des Ladegeräts durch mechanische Schalterbetätigung, sobald der USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers aus der korrespondierenden USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse gezogen wird. Das Ladegerät ist dann nicht mehr mit dem Stromnetz gekoppelt und verbraucht keinen primären Standby-Strom.In any case, the proposed installation device is optimized in terms of power consumption, because there is a primary side shutdown of the charger by mechanical switch operation, as soon as the USB charging connector is pulled out of the corresponding USB charging connector. The charger is then disconnected from the power grid and does not consume primary standby power.

Beim Neukauf eines USB-Geräts wird die vorgeschlagene Ladestation selbstverständlich weiterverwendet. Hierdurch ergibt sich einerseits ein Kostenvorteil, da der Kauf eines neuen Ladegeräts entfällt, andererseits ergibt sich eine Senkung von Industriemüll und damit letztlich eine Senkung des CO2-Ausstosses.When purchasing a new USB device, the proposed charging station will of course continue to be used. On the one hand, this results in a cost advantage, since the purchase of a new charger is eliminated, on the other hand results in a reduction of industrial waste and thus ultimately a reduction in CO2 emissions.

In Fig. 1 ist ein seitlicher Schnitt durch ein im abgeschalteten Zustand befindliches elektrisches Installationsgerät dargestellt. Es ist eine in einer Wand 19 installierte Unterputzdose 18 (handelsübliche UP-Gerätedose aus Kunststoff mit einem Durchmesser von 60 mm und einer Tiefe von 40 mm) zu erkennen, in welche ein in Form eines UP-Gerätes ausgebildete elektrisches Installationsgerät 1 eingebaut ist. Das Installationsgerät 1 weist einen Gerätesockel 2 (Unterputzeinsatz) auf, welcher mit seinem Tragring 12 bündig an der Wand 19 anliegt und in allgemein bekannter Art und Weise mit einer den Gerätesockel 2 abdeckenden, frontseitig zugänglichen Zentralscheibe 14 sowie einem Abdeckrahmen 16 eines Installationsgeräte-Programms respektive Schalter- und Steckdosenprogramms komplettiert wird.In Fig. 1 is a side sectional view of an electrical installation device located in the off state. It is a installed in a wall 19 Flush box 18 (commercially available UP plastic box made of plastic with a diameter of 60 mm and a depth of 40 mm) to recognize, in which a trained in the form of an UP device electrical installation device 1 is installed. The installation device 1 has a device base 2 (flush mount), which rests flush with its support ring 12 on the wall 19 and in a known manner with a device base 2 covering the front accessible central disc 14 and a cover 16 of a device installation program respectively Switch and socket program is completed.

Im Gerätesockel 2 (Unterputzeinsatz) ist ein Ladegerät 3 inklusive Transformator (Schaltnetzteil-Ladegerät), insbesondere ein für unterschiedliche USB-Geräte geeignetes Universalladegerät eingebaut. Ein elektrischer Anschluss 4 (Netzanschluss) des Gerätesockels 2 stellt die elektrische Verbindung zu einem Wechselspannungsnetz her (Netzanschluss mit Phase L) und dient optional auch als Busanschluss. Der Gerätesockel 2 ist über seinen Tragring 12 und/oder über Federspreizen mechanisch mit der Unterputzdose 18 verbunden.In the device base 2 (flush mount) is a charger 3 including transformer (switching power supply charger), in particular a suitable for different USB devices Universal charger installed. An electrical connection 4 (mains connection) of the device base 2 establishes the electrical connection to an AC voltage network (mains connection with phase L) and optionally also serves as a bus connection. The device base 2 is mechanically connected via its support ring 12 and / or spring struts with the flush-mounted box 18.

Der Gerätesockel 2 weist eine USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 auf, welche über eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 15 in der Zentralscheibe 14 zugänglich ist, so dass zum Aufladen der Akkumulatoren eines USB-Geräts 21, z. B. Mobiltelefon, MP3-Player ein USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 (USB-Stecker) dieses USB-Geräts 21, insbesondere eine Micro-USB-Standard-Schnittstelle, in die korrespondierende USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 eingesteckt werden kann. Unmittelbar neben der USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 ragt ein vorzugsweise aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material bestehender Stößel 8 durch die Ausnehmung 15 der Zentralscheibe 14, so dass beim Einstecken des USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers 22 eine Gehäusekante 23 des USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers 22 diesen Stößel 8 gegen die Kraft eines Federelements 10 in Richtung zum Boden des Gerätesockels 2 drückt.The device base 2 has a USB charging connection socket 11, which is accessible via a corresponding recess 15 in the central disk 14, so that for charging the batteries of a USB device 21, z. B. mobile phone, MP3 player, a USB charging connector 22 (USB connector) of this USB device 21, in particular a micro-USB standard interface, in the corresponding USB charging connector socket 11 can be inserted. Immediately adjacent to the USB charging connector socket 11 protrudes a preferably made of an electrically insulating material plunger 8 through the recess 15 of the central disc 14, so that when inserting the USB charging connector 22 a housing edge 23 of the USB charging connector 22 this plunger 8 against the force of Spring element 10 toward the bottom of the device base 2 presses.

Durch die den Stößel 8 beaufschlagende Kraft wird ein sich im Gerätesockel 2 befindender mechanischer Ein/Aus-Schalter 5 automatisch betätigt. Dieser Ein/AusSchalter 5 besitzt einen ersten Schaltkontakt 6 sowie eine zweiten Schaltkontakt 7, wobei beide Schaltkontakte 6, 7 im abgeschalteten Zustand federnd gegen den Stößel 8 drücken. Diese Position ist in Fig. 1 gezeigt. Es ist zu erkennen, dass sich eine Lochöffnung 9 (Fenster) im Stößel 8 befindet, welche bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Position (Ruheposition) jedoch nicht mit den beiden Schaltkontakten 6, 7 zusammenwirkt. Der mechanische Schalter 5 zur Netztrennung befindet sich im Aus-Zustand.Due to the force acting on the plunger 8, a mechanical on / off switch 5 located in the device base 2 is automatically actuated. This on / off switch 5 has a first switching contact 6 and a second switching contact 7, wherein both switching contacts 6, 7 in the off state press resiliently against the plunger 8. This position is in Fig. 1 shown. It can be seen that there is a hole opening 9 (window) in the plunger 8, which at the in Fig. 1 shown position (rest position) but not with the two switch contacts 6, 7 cooperates. The mechanical switch 5 for mains separation is in the off state.

In Fig. 2 ist ein seitlicher Schnitt durch ein elektrisches Installationsgerät 1 bei der sich während des Ladevorganges einstellenden Position dargestellt. Wie zu erkennen ist, drückt die Gehäusekante 23 des in die USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 eingesteckten USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers 22 den Stößel 8 gegen die Kraft des Federelementes 10 in Richtung zum Boden des Gerätesockels 2. Hierdurch gelangen beide Schaltkontakte 6, 7 vollständig in den Bereich der Lochöffnung 9 und kontaktieren elektrisch leitend miteinander, der mechanische Schalter 5 zur Netztrennung befindet sich im Ein-Zustand. Folglich ergibt sich eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung vom elektrischen Anschluss 4 (Phase L) über den geschlossenen Schalter 5 zum Ladegerät 3, d. h. die elektrische Kontaktierung ist primärseitig sichergestellt und sekundärseitig kann der benötigte Ladestrom über den USB-Steckanschluss USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse / 11 USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 fließen. Folglich kann die Aufladung der Akkumulatoren des USB-Geräts 23 beginnen.In Fig. 2 is a side sectional view of an electrical installation device 1 at the setting during the charging process position shown. As can be seen, press the housing edge 23 of the plugged into the USB charging port socket 11 USB charging connector 22, the plunger 8 against the force of the spring element 10 toward the bottom of the device base 2. This will reach both switching contacts 6, 7 completely in the area of Hole opening 9 and contact electrically conductive with each other, the mechanical switch 5 for power separation is in the on state. Consequently, there is an electrically conductive connection from the electrical connection 4 (phase L) via the closed switch 5 to the charger 3, ie the electrical contact is ensured on the primary side and secondary side, the required charging current via the USB plug USB charging port / 11 USB charging connector 22 flow. As a result, the charging of the batteries of the USB device 23 may begin.

Sobald der USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 aus der USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 gezogen wird, drückt das Federelement 10 den Stößel 8 in Richtung Zentralscheibe 14 zurück in seine Ruheposition / Ausgangsposition, d. h. die sich verschiebende Lochöffnung 9 entfernt sich wieder vom Bereich der beiden Schaltkontakte 6, 7, so dass diese Schaltkontakte 6, 7 durch den Stößel 8 elektrisch voneinander getrennt werden. Der Schalter 5 zur Netztrennung befindet sich folglich wieder im Aus-Zustand.As soon as the USB charging connector 22 is pulled out of the USB charging connector socket 11, the spring member 10 pushes the plunger 8 in the direction of the central disc 14 back to its rest position / home position, d. H. the shifting hole opening 9 moves away from the area of the two switching contacts 6, 7, so that these switching contacts 6, 7 are electrically separated from one another by the plunger 8. The switch 5 for network separation is thus again in the off state.

In Fig. 3 ist eine perspektivische Sicht auf die Frontseite eines elektrischen Installationsgerätes dargestellt. Es sind die in der Zentralscheibe 14 eingebrachte Ausnehmung 15, der in die Ausnehmung 15 ragende Stößel 8 und die unmittelbar hinter der Ausnehmung 15 befindliche USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 zu erkennen. Das Installationsgerät 1 wird komplettiert durch den die Zentralscheibe 14 umrahmenden Abdeckrahmen 16.In Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the front of an electrical installation device shown. There are introduced into the central disk 14 recess 15, the projecting into the recess 15 ram 8 and located immediately behind the recess 15 USB charging connector socket 11 can be seen. The installation device 1 is completed by the central disc 14 framing cover 16.

Selbstverständlich kann die Zentralscheibe 14 optional eine optische Anzeige (vorzugsweise mindestens eine LED) zur Signalisierung des Ladevorganges (rote LED kennzeichnet den Ladevorgang, grüne LED signalisiert einen geladenen Akkumulator) aufweisen. Des Weiteren kann eine akustische Anzeige zur Signalisierung des Ladevorgang-Endes vorgesehen sein.Of course, the central disk 14 optionally an optical display (preferably at least one LED) for signaling the charging process (red LED indicates the charging process, green LED indicates a charged accumulator). Furthermore, an acoustic display for signaling the charging end can be provided.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung des vorgeschlagenen Installationsgerätes kann über den USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 zusätzlich auch eine Datenanbindung des USB-Geräts erfolgen, z. B. können über einen Buskoppler Daten des USB-Geräts in ein Gebäudeleitsystem / Bussystem eines Gebäudes eingespeist und dort zur Anzeige gebracht und/oder weiterverarbeitet werden.In a further embodiment of the proposed installation device can also be done via the USB charging connector 22, a data connection of the USB device, z. B. can be fed via a bus coupler data from the USB device in a building management system / bus system of a building and displayed there and / or further processed.

In ähnlicher Art und Weise kann auch eine datentechnische Anbindung des Installationsgerätes 1 an ein Installationsgerät mit Display erfolgen (ohne zwischengeschaltetes aufwändiges Bussystem).In a similar manner can also be a data connection of the installation device 1 to an installation device with display done (without intervening complex bus system).

Die Montage des Installationsgerätes erfolgt zweckmäßig in "Griffhöhe", z. B. in Kabelkanälen oder im Küchenbereich oberhalb der Arbeitsplatte.The installation of the installation device is appropriate in "handle height", z. B. in cable ducts or kitchen area above the worktop.

In Fig. 4 ist ein seitlicher Schnitt durch ein elektrisches Installationsgerät mit alternativ ausgebildetem mechanischem Ein/Aus-Schalter dargestellt. Dieser alternative mechanische Schalter 5 weist ebenfalls die beiden Schaltkontakte 6 und 7 auf, wobei die Betätigung unter Einsatz einer über eine Drehachse 26 schwenkbaren Wippe 25 erfolgt. Sobald der USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 in die USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 eingesteckt wird, siehe Pfeilrichtung A, drückt die Gehäusekante 23 des USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers 22 gegen die Wippe 25, welche daraufhin eine Drehbewegung um ihre Drehachse 26 gemäß Pfeilrichtung B ausführt, wodurch einerseits das Federelement 10 zusammengepresst wird und andererseits ein Betätigungsabschnitt des Schaltkontakts 7 längs eines Nockens 27 der Wippe 25 gleitet. Hierdurch bewegt sich der Schaltkontakt 7 in Richtung zum Schaltkontakt 6, siehe Pfeilrichtung C, bis beide Schaltkontakte 6, 7 elektrisch miteinander kontaktieren. Der mechanische Schalter 5 zur Netztrennung befindet sich im Ein-Zustand.In Fig. 4 is a side section through an electrical installation device with alternatively designed mechanical on / off switch shown. This alternative mechanical switch 5 also has the two switching contacts 6 and 7, wherein the actuation takes place by using a rocker 25, which is pivotable via a rotation axis 26. As soon as the USB charging connection plug 22 is plugged into the USB charging connection socket 11, see arrow direction A, the housing edge 23 of the USB charging connection plug 22 presses against the rocker 25, which then makes a rotational movement about its axis of rotation 26 in the direction of the arrow B, as a result of which the spring element 10 is compressed and on the other hand, an operating portion of the switch contact 7 along a cam 27 of the rocker 25 slides. As a result, the switching contact 7 moves in the direction of the switching contact 6, see arrow direction C, until both switching contacts 6, 7 electrically contact each other. The mechanical switch 5 for network separation is in the on state.

Anstelle des Nockens 27 kann auch eine unmittelbare Verbindung zwischen Wippe 25 und Schaltkontakt 7 vorgesehen sein, was bei Drehung der Wippe 25 zum gleichen Resultat, nämlich der elektrischen Kontaktierung beider Schaltkontakte 6, 7 führt.Instead of the cam 27, a direct connection between rocker 25 and switching contact 7 may be provided, which leads to the same result upon rotation of the rocker 25, namely the electrical contacting of both switching contacts 6, 7.

Sobald der USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 aus der USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 gezogen wird, drückt das Federelement 10 die Wippe 25 zurück in ihre Ruheposition / Ausgangsposition, so dass durch Zurückfedern des Schaltkontakts 7 in seine Ruheposition / Ausgangsposition beide Schaltkontakte 6, 7 wieder elektrisch voneinander getrennt werden. Der Schalter 5 zur Netztrennung befindet sich folglich wieder im Aus-Zustand.As soon as the USB charging connection plug 22 is pulled out of the USB charging connection socket 11, the spring element 10 presses the rocker 25 back into its rest position / starting position so that both switching contacts 6, 7 are again electrically separated from one another by springing back the switching contact 7 into its rest position / starting position become. The switch 5 for network separation is thus again in the off state.

Bei beiden alternativen Ausführungsformen gemäß den Figuren 1, 2 respektive 4 ist es möglich, den Stößel 8 respektive die Wippe 25 mit einer großflächigen Betätigungswippe abzudecken. In den Figuren 5 und 6 ist zu dieser Ausführungsvariante eine teilweise mit einer Betätigungswippe abgedeckte Zentralscheibe für das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 1, 2 gezeigt. Die Betätigungswippe 28 ist an ihrer Oberkante über eine Drehachse 29 an der Oberkante der Zentralscheibe 14 schwenkbar befestigt und berührt mit ihrer Unterkante den Stößel 8. Sobald der USB-Ladeanschlussstecker 22 in die USB-Ladeanschlusssteckbuchse 11 eingesteckt wird, drückt die Gehäusekante 23 des USB-Ladeanschlusssteckers 22 gegen die Unterkante der Betätigungswippe 28, wodurch gleichzeitig der Stößel 8 in Richtung zum Boden des Gerätesockels 2 gedrückt wird. Es ist leicht zu erkennen, dass die gleiche Maßnahme auch bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 zur Bedienung der Betätigungswippe 28 einsetzbar ist.In both alternative embodiments according to the FIGS. 1, 2 respectively 4, it is possible to cover the plunger 8 respectively the rocker 25 with a large-scale rocker switch. In the FIGS. 5 and 6 is to this embodiment, a partially covered with a rocker switch central disk for the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1, 2 shown. The rocker switch 28 is pivotally mounted at its upper edge via a rotation axis 29 at the upper edge of the central disk 14 and touched with its lower edge the plunger 8. As soon as the USB charging connector 22 is inserted into the USB charging port socket 11, pushes the housing edge 23 of the USB Charging connector 22 against the lower edge of the rocker switch 28, whereby at the same time the plunger 8 is pressed in the direction of the bottom of the device base 2. It is easy to see that the same measure also in the embodiment according to Fig. 4 for operating the actuating rocker 28 can be used.

Selbstverständlich sind die vorstehend zu den Figuren 1, 2 und 3 erläuterten weiteren Maßnahmen (optische / akustische Anzeige, Datenanbindung, Display) auch bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den Figuren 4, 5, 6 einsetzbar.Of course, the above to the FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 explained further measures (optical / acoustic display, data connection, display) also in the embodiments according to the FIGS. 4 . 5, 6 used.
