  • the invention relates to an electrical installation device with a circuit module for switching or dimming of be coupled to the circuit module consumers, and with at least one control panel, the installation device has a separate adapter module as a mechanical interface between the circuit module and control panel, which has a support frame and at least one in the support frame for transmitting a movement of the control unit in a suitable for actuating the circuit module movement movably mounted transmission element, wherein the manufacturer-specific control unit with the transmission element is mechanically connectable and the holding frame is connected via connecting elements with the circuit module.
  • the invention further relates to a set of adapter modules.
  • Electrical installation device such as flush-mounted switches or dimmers, which are primarily intended for switching of corresponding consumers, are well known.
  • electrical installation devices have a circuit module with which connected consumers, such as a lamp, can be switched, in which the circuit is opened or closed.
  • this circuit module rocker switch which is located directly on the switch, a corresponding switching operation is triggered.
  • Such an installation device for electrical installation is for example from the DE 299 01 711 U1 known, is connected to the rocker switch directly to the circuit module and the switch. If now a key event is triggered on the rocker switch, ie the switch is pressed on one of its upper or lower side, so that a lifting movement is carried out, it is transmitted directly to the circuit module, so that the consumers connected thereto can be switched.
  • a similar switch arrangement is also from the DE 42 42 962 C2 known, in which the switching rocker is placed using a coupling member directly on the inner switching element of the circuit module, so that the Tastereignisse the rocker switch are forwarded directly to the circuit module.
  • the rocker functionality of the rocker is realized only by this inner switching element, as this inner switching member is tiltably and pivotally mounted on the circuit module, so that a corresponding stroke on the rocker switch can be mechanically converted into a switching operation. Further examples can be found in the DE 10 2004 047 114 B4 and DE 40 28 619 C2 ,
  • DE 1 981 906 U1 describes an installation rocker switch that can be converted to a normal rocker switch or large rocker switch using a small number of assemblies as needed.
  • a connected in a conventional manner with the electrical switch rocker foot is pivotally mounted on a support ring and optionally connectable to a normal rocker or a large rocker.
  • DE 25 11 510 C2 discloses an electrical installation switch with a switching member of a derailleur and with a carriage with a plunger, which are movably mounted on a cover plate. A seesaw is on the button placed. The switching element is verkuppelt with the rigid and has engagement points for the plunger.
  • the circuit module of the aforementioned type has at least one sensor for detecting the position of the transmission element and an electronics connected to at least one sensor for switching on, switching off or changing the supply voltage or for generating a control signal for at least one can be coupled to the circuit module consumer as a function of the detected Location of relative to the at least one sensor freely movable transmission element of the separate adapter module.
  • the manufacturer-specific operating part and the circuit module interact mechanically with the transmission element such that events triggered on the operating part are transmitted to the circuit module via the mechanical interface, without the transmission element being fixedly connected to the circuit module, e.g. is coupled by latching.
  • the circuit module is a radio-controlled circuit module whose switch or dimmer is switched by means of a radio remote control so that the consumers are controlled via the remote control
  • the old design of the control panel and the frame can continue to be used despite the new technology.
  • This is particularly advantageous not only in terms of ecology and sustainability, but also facilitates the installation of new technologies in buildings and rooms, where it depends especially on the protection of existing, so that the original switch optics is maintained.
  • the control panel may be a manufacturer-specific rocker, as known from the field of light installations, in particular as a light switch.
  • a vibrator In the holding frame a vibrator is held as a transmission element, which has fastening elements.
  • the manufacturer-specific rocker switch is available when the rocker switch is connected to the mechanical interface becomes engaged with and held by the vibrator. Switching events which were mechanically triggered by a person on the rocker switch are then forwarded via the oscillator to the circuit module.
  • On the opposite side of the holding frame of the mechanical interface is connected via connecting elements to the circuit module, so that a universal circuit module can be used via the mechanical interface with a manufacturer-specific rocker switch.
  • the oscillator of the mechanical interface has a coupling member which is mechanically connected to the sensor of the circuit module. Tasting events that are triggered on the rocker switch by pressing the rocker switch, are transmitted to the vibrator, which then mechanically transmits the touch event to the sensor of the circuit module due to the coupling member, so that the consumers are switched due to the Tastereignisse.
  • the sensor thus still has a certain residual functionality, for example if a radio-controlled circuit module is to be used.
  • the oscillator of the adapter module is limited in its oscillation radius.
  • a coupling member also engages in the opening of the circuit module provided for this purpose.
  • Such a limitation can in particular be effected by a stop arranged on the holding frame, with which the oscillator cooperates in a form-fitting manner.
  • the control panel may also be a lifting or Kurzhubtaster, in which a lifting movement of the control panel usually leads to a switching operation.
  • the transmission element of the adapter module is in this case as a lifting element trained that it is mechanically contacted with the Hubtaster and switching events are transferable from the Hubtaster on the lifting element of the mechanical interface.
  • the switching events of the Hubtasters be passed to the circuit module, so that a switching operation can be triggered.
  • Such a mechanical interface is thus not limited to specific types of control.
  • a particularly advantageous adaptation of the kinematics of the manufacturer-dependent rockers to the uniform switching path of the universal circuit module succeeds in that the transmission element protrudes from the adjacent to the circuit module and the upper connecting side for the control panel diametrically opposite underside a coupling member.
  • the coupling member is provided to dive into an opening of the circuit module and cooperate with at least one sensor of the circuit module such that movement of the control unit via the transmission element is mechanically transmitted to detectable by at least one sensor movement of the coupling member and with the aid of the electronics for controlling a connectable to the circuit module consumer leads.
  • a corresponding decorative frame which surrounds the operating part, is engaged with the holding frame via fastening element, so that It is also possible to continue to use a frame matching the operating part with the aid of the mechanical interface.
  • the connecting elements of the holding frame, with which the mechanical interface can be placed on the circuit module are designed for height compensation.
  • a plaster compensation can be realized without the circuit module must be modified.
  • the circuit module unlike conventional toggle switch inserts or styli with directly mechanically actuated switches, is an electronic circuit module having e.g. at least one relay controlled by at least one of the sensors for connection of at least one consumer or with a radio transmitter unit for the wireless transmission of control signals to at least one consumer coupled to the radio transmitter unit.
  • Electronic circuit modules are understood to be all circuit modules in which switches which are directly or indirectly connected to a load are actuated electrically, electromechanically or electronically via sensors.
  • the set consists of a plurality of mutually different adapter modules for the mechanical connection of a wide variety of manufacturer-specific operating units with a uniform circuit module.
  • the adapter modules have a holding frame and at least one in the holding frame movably mounted transmission element.

  • the transmission element of the adapter module is uniformly adapted to the uniform circuit module at the bottom, so that the position of the transmission element of at least one sensor of the circuit module can be detected to switch on, off or change the supply voltage or generation of a control signal for at least one of the circuit module connectable consumers caused by a connected to the at least one sensor electronics in response to the detected position of the transmission element of the separate adapter module.
  • each of the adapter modules can be placed on a uniform circuit module, so that a wide variety of control units with one and the same circuit module can be connected.
  • each adapter module can be designed such that it can be connected exactly to a manufacturer-specific control panel.
  • each keypad can be connected to the circuit module, although the manufacturer-specific keypads have not been changed at their connecting elements, the circuit module was not adapted to these fasteners of the keypads and the keypads per se could not be connected to the circuit module, if the adapter modules or mechanical Interfaces would allow this connection first.
