Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Infrarot-Bewegungssensor nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus dem Stand der Technik allgemein bekannt und wird beispielsweise zur Steuerung von Außenleuchten od.dgl. Lichtanlagen typischerweise an Hauswänden, an Decken, im Dachbereich oder an Türrahmen derart befestigt, dass im Erfassungsbereich des Bewegungssensors auftretende Bewegungen von Personen eine Lichtaktivierung auslösen können.The present invention relates to an infrared motion sensor according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a device is well known in the art and is used, for example, to control outdoor lights or the like. Lighting systems typically attached to house walls, ceilings, the roof area or door frame such that occurring in the detection range of the motion sensor movements of people can trigger a light activation.
Im Hinblick auf eine optimale Anpassung einer solchen Vorrichtung, insbesondere das Einrichten des Erfassungsbereichs relativ zu den räumlichen Verhältnissen der Montageorte sowie das Vermeiden von Fehlaktivierungen durch unerwünscht große Erfassungsreichweiten weisen gattungsgemäß bekannte Vorrichtungen Einstellmittel für den Erfassungsbereich auf.With regard to an optimal adaptation of such a device, in particular the setting up of the detection range relative to the spatial conditions of the mounting locations and the avoidance of false activations due to undesirably large detection ranges, generically known devices have setting means for the detection range.
Hier sind zahlreiche Varianten bekannt: zum einen ist bekannt, ein Sensorgehäuse dreh- bzw. verschwenkbar auszugestalten, so dass die Linseneinheit geeignet auf den gewünschten Zielbereich gerichtet werden kann; ein maximaler Erfassungsbereich kann so etwa durch ein Abwärtsneigen des Sensorgehäuses bestimmt und begrenzt werden. Eine derartige Lagerung ist jedoch üblicherweise in ihrem wirksamen Einstellbereich begrenzt; darüber hinaus gestaltet sich eine solche Realisierung konstruktiv und mechanisch aufwändig.Numerous variants are known here: on the one hand, it is known to design a sensor housing such that it can be rotated or swiveled, so that the lens unit can be suitably directed to the desired target area; a maximum detection range can thus be determined and limited by tilting down the sensor housing. However, such storage is usually limited in its effective adjustment range; In addition, such a realization is structurally and mechanically complex.
Ergänzend oder alternativ weisen gattungsgemäß bekannte Bewegungssensoren Abschattungselemente (Blenden) in Form abnehmbar aufsteckbaren (und für Infrarotstrahlung undurchlässigen) Kunststoffplättchen auf, mit welchen die Linsenoberfläche und mithin ein wirksamer Erfassungsbereich der Sensoreinheit begrenzt werden können. Ebenso ist es bekannt, solche Blenden verschwenkbar außen an einem Gehäuse anzuordnen. Eine derartige Vorgehensweise ist jedoch mühsam und wenig praktikabel in der Handhabung, insbesondere für fachlich unversierte Benutzer.Additionally or alternatively, movement sensors known generically have shading elements (diaphragms) in the form of detachable attachable (and for infrared radiation impermeable) plastic platelets with which the lens surface and consequently an effective detection range of the sensor unit can be limited. It is also known to arrange such panels pivotally outside of a housing. However, such an approach is cumbersome and less practical to handle, especially for technically unexperienced users.
Eine weitere Variante zur Einstellung eines wirksamen Erfassungsbereichs besteht in der elektronischen Verstellung, basierend auf der Empfindlichkeit bzw. Signalstärke des von der Sensoreinheit ausgegebenen Signals. Allerdings sind bei üblichen Sensoranordnungen diese Signale über einen größeren Abstandsbereich konstant, so dass eine einfache produzierbare elektronische Verstellung dadurch schwierig wird; hinzu kommt der Umstand, dass, je nach Objektgröße und Geschwindigkeit eines Erfassungsobjektes die erzeugten elektrischen Signale sich erheblich unterscheiden; ein großer Körper erzeugt in einer großen Entfernung ein ähnlich starkes Signal wie ein kleiner Körper in geringer Entfernung.A further variant for setting an effective detection range is the electronic adjustment, based on the sensitivity or signal strength of the signal output by the sensor unit. However, in conventional sensor arrangements, these signals are constant over a larger distance range, so that a simple producible electronic adjustment is difficult; Added to this is the fact that, depending on the object size and speed of a detection object, the generated electrical signals differ significantly; a large body produces a signal as strong as a small body at a short distance at a great distance.

Bei einigen vorgenannten Infrarot-Bewegungssensoren ist ein komplexer, nur kostenintensiv realisierbarer Aufbau vonnöten. Bei anderen bekannten Infrarotsensoren, wie bei der Variante mit aufsteckbaren Blenden ist die Handhabbarkeit verbesserungsbedürftig, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Gewährleistung einer exakten bzw. kleinstufigen Einstellmöglichkeit.In some of the aforementioned infrared motion sensors, a complex, only cost-intensive realizable construction is needed. In other known infrared sensors, as in the variant with attachable panels, the handling is in need of improvement, especially with regard to ensuring an exact or small-scale adjustment.
Ausgehend von dem vorgenannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Infrarot-Bewegungsmelder im Hinblick auf eine einfache, exakte, reproduzierbare und komfortabel handhabbare Reichweiteneinstellung zu verbessern.Based on the aforementioned prior art, the present invention seeks to improve a generic infrared motion detector with respect to a simple, accurate, reproducible and easy to handle range setting.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Infrarot-Bewegungssensor mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst; vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Erfindung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen von zumindest zwei von in der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und/oder den Figuren angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved by the infrared motion sensor having the features of the main claim; advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. All fall within the scope of the invention Combinations of at least two features specified in the description, claims and / or figures.
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, die Stelleinrichtung zur Veränderung und/oder Einstellung des Erfassungsbereichs der Sensoreinheiten derart auszubilden, dass die Blende (Abschattungselement), die für Infrarot-Strahlung bevorzugt undurchlässig und weiter bevorzugt aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist auf einer linearen Bewegungsbahn verstellbar ist, um auf diese Weise den wirksamen Erfassungsbereich der Sensoreinheit eingrenzen zu können. Wesentlich dabei ist, dass die lineare Verstellbewegung der Blende aus einer Rotationsbewegung eines manuell verstellbaren Gewindeelementes, bevorzugt einer Spindel, alternativ einer Spindelmutter resultiert. Anders ausgedrückt ist die Blende zur Einstellung und/oder Veränderung des Erfassungsbereichs der Sensoreinheiten derart mit einer manuell betätigbaren Spindel oder einer manuell betätigbaren Spindelmutter wirkverbunden, dass aus der manuellen, exakt dosierbaren Verdrehbewegung der Spindel bzw. der Spindelmutter eine lineare Ortsveränderung der Blende relativ zu der Sensoreinheit und vorzugsweise auch relativ zu einer, bevorzugt von den Sensoreinheiten beabstandeten Linseneinheit resultiert. Ein nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildeter Infrarot-Bewegungssensor realisiert damit in Abkehr von der elektronischen, empfindlichkeitsbasierten Entfernungseinstellung und der bekannten Verschwenkung des gesamten Sensorgehäuses sowie dem Verstellen der Sensoreinheiten relativ zu dem Gehäuse auf überrasend konstruktiv einfach realisierbare Art und Weise eine intuitiv und mit guter Genauigkeit realisierbare Reichweiteneinstellung durch das Bereitstellen eines, beispielsweise mittels eines Schraubendrehers betätigbaren Spindeltriebs, der die nutzerseitige, drehende Einstellbewegung in einer Linearbewegung der Blende relativ zu der, bevorzugt feststehenden und damit robust und kostengünstig gelagerten, Sensoreinheit ermöglicht. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme lässt sich überraschend einfach und wirksam der Erfassungsbereich erweitern oder begrenzen, ohne dass es mühsam aufzusteckender Blendenelemente bedarf, und ohne dass ein letztlich unzuverlässiges elektronisches Sensorsignal zur Reichweiteneinstellung bzw. Begrenzung ausgewertet werden muss, und ohne dass die gesamten Sensoreinheiten und/oder die Linseneinheit verstellbar gelagert werden muss. Darüber hinaus kann die Stelleinrichtung - ggf. bis auf einem zu Verstellzwecken zugänglichen Bereich - vollständig innerhalb des Sensorgehäuses und damit geschützt vor Umwelteinflüssen angeordnet werden. Bei Bedarf kann der Verstellantrieb auch vollständig innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet sein, so dass das Gehäuse zunächst geöffnet, bevorzugt von einem Montageträgerteil des Gehäuses abgenommen, werden muss um die Stelleinrichtung manuell betätigen zu können. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Verstellmöglichkeit ist zudem darin zu sehen, dass das Übersetzungsverhältnis zwischen dem manuell eingestellten Drehwinkel des Gewindeelements und dem daraus resultierenden Axialhub der Blende wählbar bzw. abstimmbar ist, vorzugsweise derart, dass eine Drehbewegung über einen großen Verdrehwinkel nur eine kleine lineare Verstellbewegung der Blende zur Folge hat, um die Blendeposition und damit die Reichweite bzw. den Empfangsbereich exakt einstellen zu können.The invention is based on the idea of designing the adjusting device for changing and / or adjusting the detection range of the sensor units in such a way that the diaphragm (shading element), which is preferably impermeable to infrared radiation and more preferably made of plastic, can be adjusted on a linear trajectory. in order to be able to limit the effective detection range of the sensor unit in this way. It is essential that the linear adjustment movement of the diaphragm from a rotational movement of a manually adjustable threaded element, preferably a spindle, alternatively results in a spindle nut. In other words, the aperture for adjusting and / or changing the detection range of the sensor units is operatively connected to a manually operable spindle or a manually operable spindle nut, that from the manual, exactly metered rotational movement of the spindle or the spindle nut a linear change in position of the diaphragm relative to the Sensor unit and preferably also relative to a, preferably spaced from the sensor units lens unit results.

In addition, the adjusting device - possibly up to a range accessible for Verstellzwecken - completely within the sensor housing and thus protected against environmental influences are arranged. If necessary, the adjustment can also be arranged completely within the housing, so that the housing first opened, preferably removed from a mounting support member of the housing, must be able to operate the actuator manually. Another significant advantage of Verstellmöglichkeit invention is also to be seen in the fact that the transmission ratio between the manually set rotational angle of the threaded element and the resulting Axialhub the shutter is selectable or tuned, preferably such that a rotational movement over a large angle of rotation only a small linear Adjusting movement of the diaphragm has the consequence to adjust the glare position and thus the range or the reception area exactly.
Der erfindungsgemäße Infrarot-Bewegungssensor kann mit einer einzigen Sensoreinheit oder mehreren in einer Ebene nebeneinander angeordneten Sensoreinheiten ausgebildet sein. Erfindungsgemäß ist die linear verstellbare Blende als eine Art Teleskopblende, d.h. teleskopartig ausfahrbar ausgebildet. Hierzu umfasst die Blende erfindungsgemäß mehrere ineinander verschachtelte bzw. ineinandergreifende, insbesondere umfangsgeschlossene, beispielsweise rechteckig konturierte, Rahmen, von denen zumindest einer, vorzugsweise ein oberer Rahmen mit dem Gewindeelement, beispielsweise über ein Eingriffsteil oder einen einteilig mit der Blende bzw. dem oberen Rahmen ausgebildeten Eingriffsabschnitt wirkverbunden ist, derart, dass die Einstellbewegung bzw. Verdrehbewegung des Gewindeelementes in die geforderte axiale bzw. lineare Verstellbewegung der Blende umgewandelt wird.The infrared motion sensor according to the invention can be formed with a single sensor unit or a plurality of sensor units arranged next to one another in a plane. According to the invention, the linearly adjustable diaphragm is designed as a kind of telescopic diaphragm, i. telescopically extendable trained. For this purpose, the diaphragm according to the invention comprises a plurality of nested or interlocking, in particular circumferentially closed, for example rectangular contoured frame, of which at least one, preferably an upper frame with the threaded element, for example via an engagement member or integrally formed with the diaphragm or the upper frame Engagement portion is operatively connected, such that the adjusting movement or rotational movement of the threaded element is converted into the required axial or linear adjustment movement of the diaphragm.
Während es einerseits besonders bevorzugt und günstig ist, die erfindungsgemäße Ortsveränderung kontinuierlich und stufenlos durchzuführen, ist es alternativ möglich und von der Erfindung umfasst, auch eine geeignet vorbestimmte Stufung, Rasterung od.dgl. Segmentierung der Verschiebung entlang des linearen Einstellweges der Blende vorzunehmen. Bevorzugt ist der Verstellantrieb derart ausgelegt, dass der Erfassungsbereich mit zunehmender Ausfahrhöhe der Blende, gemessen von einer Rückseite des Sensorgehäuses abnimmt.While, on the one hand, it is particularly preferred and advantageous to carry out the change of location according to the invention continuously and steplessly, it is alternatively possible and encompassed by the invention to include a suitably predetermined graduation, rastering or the like. Segmentation of the displacement along the linear Adjusting the aperture to make. Preferably, the adjusting drive is designed such that the detection range decreases with increasing extension height of the diaphragm, measured from a rear side of the sensor housing.
Hinsichtlich der konkreten Ausgestaltung der Linseneinheit gibt es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten. Bevorzugt ist es im Falle des Vorsehens mehrerer Sensoreinheiten eine gemeinsame Linseneinheit vorzusehen, wobei alternativ auch Gruppen von Sensoreinheiten oder sämtlichen Sensoreinheiten jeweils eine (eigene) Linseneinheit zugeordnet werden kann. Bevorzugt ist die Blende in einem Bereich zwischen der/den Sensoreinheit(en) und der/den Linseneinheit(en) angeordnet. Bevorzugt umfasst die mindestens eine, bevorzugt ausschließlich eine Linseneinheit, mehrere Linsenelemente bzw. Linsenabschnitte, wobei alternativ beispielsweise auch eine Fresnellinse einsetzbar ist.With regard to the specific design of the lens unit, there are different possibilities. In the case of providing a plurality of sensor units, it is preferable to provide a common lens unit, it also being possible for groups of sensor units or all sensor units to be assigned in each case one (separate) lens unit. The diaphragm is preferably arranged in a region between the sensor unit (s) and the lens unit (s). Preferably, the at least one, preferably only one lens unit, comprises a plurality of lens elements or lens sections, wherein alternatively, for example, a Fresnel lens can also be used.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Blende entweder über ein mit der Blende wirkverbundenes, insbesondere an dieser festgelegtes Eingriffsteil, oder alternativ, was bevorzugt ist, mit einem einteilig mit der Blende ausgebildeten Eingriffsabschnitt in das Gewinde des Gewindeelementes eingreift. Im Fall der Ausbildung des Gewindeelementes als Spindel mit Außengewinde handelt es sich bei dem Eingriffsteil bevorzugt um ein Innengewindeteil bzw. bei dem Eingriffsabschnitt um einen Inngewindeabschnitt, wohingegen es sich im Falle der Ausbildung des Gewindeelementes als Innengewindeelement (Spindelmutter) bevorzugt um ein Außengewindeteil, insbesondere ein Spindelteil bzw. einen Außengewindeabschnitt bzw. Spindelabschnitt handelt. Gerade die einteilige Ausbildung von Blende und Eingriffsabschnitt ist besonders bevorzugt, da in diesem Fall das Bauteil als gemeinsames Spritzgussteil realisierbar ist.It is particularly preferred if the panel engages either via a operatively connected to the panel, in particular fixed to this engagement part, or alternatively, which is preferred, with an integrally formed with the panel engaging portion in the thread of the threaded element. In the case of forming the threaded element as a spindle with an external thread, the engagement part is preferably an internal thread part or the engagement section is an Inngewindeabschnitt, whereas it is in the case of the formation of the threaded element as an internal thread member (spindle nut) preferably an external thread part, in particular a Spindle part or an external thread section or spindle section is. Especially the one-piece design of aperture and engagement portion is particularly preferred, since in this case the component can be realized as a common injection molded part.
Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn das Eingriffsteil oder der Eingriffsabschnitt drehfest angeordnet ist, um ein Mitdrehen bei einer manuellen Betätigung des Gewindeelementes zu vermeiden. Bevorzugt ist die drehfeste Anordnung durch das Vorsehen einer Linearführung für das Eingriffsteil bzw. den Eingriffsabschnitt gelöst, die dafür Sorge trägt, dass das Eingriffsteil oder der Eingriffsabschnitt bei einer Verdrehbewegung des Gewindeelementes parallel zu diesem verstellt wird. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, wenn es sich um eine schlitzartige Führung handelt, die im Falle der Ausbildung des Gewindeelementes als (Gewinde-) Spindel radial außerhalb der Spindel angeordnet sein kann, wohingegen es bei der Ausbildung des Gewindeelementes als Gewindespindel bevorzugt ist, wenn die Linearführung zentrisch innerhalb der Spindelmutter oder oberhalb dieser angeordnet ist. Im Falle des Vorsehens einer Verdrehsicherung für die Blende kann, wenn gewünscht, auf eine separate Verdrehsicherung für das Eingriffsteil bzw. den Eingriffsabschnitt verzichtet werden.It is particularly expedient if the engagement part or the engagement portion is arranged rotationally fixed in order to avoid co-rotation in a manual operation of the threaded element. Preferably, the non-rotatable assembly is achieved by the provision of a linear guide for the engagement member or the engagement portion, which ensures that the engagement member or the engagement portion in a rotational movement of the threaded member parallel to this is adjusted. It is particularly preferred if it is a slot-like guide, which in the case of the formation of the threaded element as a (threaded) spindle can be arranged radially outside the spindle, whereas it is preferred in the formation of the threaded element as a threaded spindle when the linear guide is arranged centrally within the spindle nut or above this. In the case of providing an anti-rotation device for the panel can, if desired, be dispensed with a separate rotation for the engaging member or the engaging portion.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die lineare Bewegungsbahn, entlang derer die Blende verstellbar ist, nicht mit der Gewindeelementlängsmittelachse in axialer Richtung fluchtet, sondern wenn die Verstellachse bzw. Bewegungsbahn der Blende in einer Parallelebene zur Längsmittelachse des Gewindeelementes, beabstandet von diesem verläuft. Bevorzugt ist die lineare Bewegungsbahn, zumindest abschnittsweise parallel und neben dem Gewindeelement angeordnet, um die Bauhöhe des Infrarot-Bewegungssensors zu minimieren.It is particularly preferred if the linear movement path, along which the diaphragm is adjustable, is not aligned with the threaded element longitudinal center axis in the axial direction, but if the adjustment axis or movement path of the diaphragm runs in a plane parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the threaded element, spaced therefrom. Preferably, the linear trajectory, at least in sections parallel and arranged adjacent to the threaded member to minimize the height of the infrared motion sensor.
Um ein selbsttätiges Verstellen des Erfassungsbereichs, beispielsweise durch Erschütterungen zu verhindern, ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Spindeltrieb selbsthemmend ausgeführt ist. Dies kann beispielsweise durch die Wahl einer geeigneten Gewindesteigung und/oder einem geeigneten Haftreibungskoeffizienten der Oberfläche des Gewindeelementes und/oder des Eingriffsteils bzw. Eingriffabschnittes realisiert werden.In order to prevent an automatic adjustment of the detection range, for example by vibrations, it is preferred if the spindle drive is designed to be self-locking. This can be realized, for example, by the choice of a suitable thread pitch and / or a suitable static coefficient of friction of the surface of the threaded element and / or of the engagement part or engagement section.
Zum erleichterten manuellen Verstellen des Gewindeelementes ist es bevorzugt, wenn dieses insbesondere an einer von außerhalb des Sensorgehäuses zugänglichen Stirnseite einen Normantrieb, beispielsweise einen Schlitzantrieb od.dgl. zum Zusammenwirken mit einem Drehwerkzeug, insbesondere einem Schraubendreher aufweist.To facilitate manual adjustment of the threaded element, it is preferred if this particular on an accessible from outside the sensor housing end face a standard drive, such as a slot drive or the like. for cooperation with a turning tool, in particular a screwdriver.
Um die Herstellbarkeit bei minimierten Kosten weiter zu vereinfachen ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Blende und/oder das Gewindeelement und/oder das Gehäuse als Kunststoffteil, besonders bevorzugt als Kunststoffspritzgussteil ausgeführt ist/sind. Bevorzugt sind mindestens zwei Funktionsteile, insbesondre die Blende und ein Eingriffsabschnitt einteilig ausgeführt. Bevorzugt handelt es sich bei der Blende auch um ein einziges, mehrere Blendabschnitte aufweisendes Bauteil, wobei auch eine Ausführungsform mit aus Einzelteilen montierbarer Blende realisierbar ist.In order to further simplify manufacturability with minimized costs, it is preferred for the panel and / or the threaded element and / or the housing to be designed as a plastic part, particularly preferably as a plastic injection-molded part is / are. Preferably, at least two functional parts, in particular the diaphragm and an engagement portion are made in one piece.
