Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Installationsschalter mit Fernbedienung, insbesondere zur Steuerung von Licht, aber auch für generelle Zwecke respektive generell zur Ansteuerung fernsteuerbarer elektrischer Verbraucher.The invention relates to an installation switch with remote control, in particular for the control of light, but also for general purposes respectively generally for controlling remotely controllable electrical loads.

Es sind RGB(Rot-Grün-Blau)-Leuchtmittel in Form einer normalen Glühlampe allgemein bekannt, die mittels einer Fernbedienung geschaltet, gedimmt und in der Farbe verändert werden können. Des Weiteren sind Energiesparlampen in der Bauform einer normalen Glühlampe bekannt, die mittels einer Fernbedienung geschaltet und gedimmt werden können. Diesen Systemen haftet ganz allgemein der Nachteil an, dass beim Betreten eines (dunklen) Raumes in vielen Fällen zunächst einmal die Fernbedienung gesucht werden muss, um das Licht einzuschalten. Dies kann zu gefährlichen Situationen, beispielsweise Stolpern über ein auf dem Boden liegendes Hindernis, führen.RGB (red-green-blue) illuminants in the form of a normal incandescent lamp are generally known, which can be switched, dimmed and changed in color by means of a remote control. Furthermore, energy-saving lamps in the design of a normal incandescent lamp are known, which can be switched and dimmed by means of a remote control. These systems generally have the disadvantage that when entering a (dark) room in many cases, the remote control must first be searched to turn on the light. This can lead to dangerous situations, such as tripping over an obstacle lying on the floor.

The inductive charger consists of a located in the device base 2 of the installation switch 1 primary part 5 and located in the remote control 17 secondary part 22. The primary part 5 includes a rectifier 6, which is the input side connected to the AC power supply 31 and the output side is connected to an inverter 7 , wherein a DC link capacitor 8 is integrated between rectifier 6 and inverter 7. At the output of the inverter 7, a primary coil 9 is connected.

Das Sekundärteil 22 beinhaltet einen Gleichrichter 24, an den eingangsseitig eine Sekundärspule 23 angeschlossen ist und der den Akkumulator 25 ausgangsseitig speist. Die Primärspule 9 des Primärteils 5 ist induktiv mit der Sekundärspule 23 des Sekundärteils 22 gekoppelt, d. h. die Energie wird zwischen Primärteil 5 und Sekundärteil 22 induktiv in Form eines hochfrequenten magnetischen Wechselfeldes übertragen. Vorzugsweise wird zur Erhöhung der transformatorischen Kopplung und zur Verringerung des Streufeldes ein (nicht dargestellter) geteilter Eisenkern oder Ferritkern eingesetzt. Des Weiteren ist zur optimierten Ladung des Akkumulators 25 ein (nicht dargestellter) Lade-Controller vorgesehen, welcher wahlweise im Primärteil 5 oder im Sekundärteil 22 des Ladegerätes angeordnet sein kann und die Ansteuerung der steuerbaren Halbleiterschalter von Gleichrichter oder Wechselrichter vornimmt.The secondary part 22 includes a rectifier 24, to the input side, a secondary coil 23 is connected and the output side of the accumulator 25 feeds. The primary coil 9 of the primary part 5 is inductively coupled to the secondary coil 23 of the secondary part 22, d. H. the energy is transmitted inductively between primary part 5 and secondary part 22 in the form of a high-frequency alternating magnetic field. Preferably, a split iron core or ferrite core (not shown) is used to increase the transformer coupling and reduce the stray field. Furthermore, a charge controller (not shown) is provided for optimized charging of the accumulator 25, which may optionally be arranged in the primary part 5 or in the secondary part 22 of the charger and controls the controllable semiconductor switches of rectifier or inverter.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Fernbedienung 17 mit einer Batterie an Stelle eines Akkumulators zu versehen, wobei in einem solchen Fall das induktive Ladegerät entfällt.Of course, it is also possible to provide the remote control 17 with a battery instead of a rechargeable battery, in which case the inductive charger is dispensed with.

Die vorstehend behandelten Ausführungsbeispiele orientieren sich am bevorzugten Anwendungsfall, der Fernbedienung zur Steuerung von Licht, besonders von Energiesparlampen, LED-Lampen und Farb-LED-Lampen (Einstellung von Helligkeit und Lichtfarbe). Als fernsteuerbare elektrische Verbraucher können daneben z. B. auch Jalousien ferngesteuert betätigt werden. Auch wenn vorstehend je zwei Bedienelemente beim Installations schalter und bei der Fernbedienung vorgesehen sind, können auch je ein Bedienelement oder je drei oder vier usw. Bedienelemente vorhanden sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Anzahl der Bedienelemente beim Installationsschalter 1 und bei der Fernbedienung 17 unterschiedlich sind, beispielsweise kann der Verbraucher 28 mittels des Installationsschalters 1 nur eingeschaltet / ausgeschaltet werden, während die Einstellung von Helligkeit und Lichtfarbe ausschließlich mit der Fernbedienung 17 möglich ist.The embodiments discussed above are based on the preferred application, the remote control for controlling light, especially energy-saving lamps, LED lamps and color LED lamps (adjustment of brightness and light color). As remotely controllable electrical consumers can next z. Belly Blinds are operated remotely. Even if the above two controls each installation switch and the remote control are provided, each one control or three or four, etc. controls may be present. It is also possible that the number of controls in the installation switch 1 and the remote control 17 are different, for example, the consumer 28 by means of the installation switch 1 only turned on / off, while the adjustment of brightness and light color is possible only with the remote control 17 ,
