Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical control device, such as switches, buttons, dimmers or the like, with an electrical control element via a control element variable operating state.
  • controllers are well known in the electrical installation technology for buildings. These are often flush-mounted devices (flush-mounted devices) that are installed in plastered installation boxes. Such controllers are z. B. are designed as switches, buttons, push buttons, dimmers or the like, and they are used for driving, in particular for switching on and off of any electrical consumers, such as lights.
  • control unit eg. B. switch
  • a manual groping is only possible with those control units in which the operating element changes its position in the various operating states, as is the case with so-called rocker switches, but not, for example, with pushbuttons or pushbutton switches or other control devices whose operating elements are the same in all different operating states are arranged and aligned.
  • the present invention is based on the object to improve a control device of the type described so that detection of the respective operating state is possible regardless of the respective control element and therefore also for blind and severely visually impaired people.
  • control device is equipped with an integrated signal device which generates an acoustic signal signal on the information about the respective operating state of the control to a request signal via an acoustic signal element.
  • a second sense specifically the sense of hearing
  • the control device is particularly suitable for so-called barrier-free living areas, especially for people with disabilities.
  • the control device forms an "age-appropriate assistance system for a healthy and independent life", in short "AAL”, keyword "Ambient Assisted Living".
  • Fig. 1 is very schematically illustrated an inventive control unit 1.
  • This control unit 1 includes an electrical control element 2, which is operable with a control element, not shown, to control a likewise not shown, any electrical load, for example, on and off.
  • the controller 1 may be formed as a switch, button or pushbutton, wherein the control element 2 has at least one electrical switching contact. The control element 2 can therefore be changed via the operating element with respect to its operating state.
  • control unit 1 now has an integrated signal device 4 such that an acoustic information signal S is generated and output via an acoustic signal element 6 via the respective operating state of the control element 2, in response to a request signal.
  • the signal device 4 has an electronic evaluation unit 8 which, in response to the request signal, actuates the acoustic signal element 6 to output the information signal S.
  • the request signal S1 is generated by each actuation of the control element 2.
  • the operator receives an unambiguous statement about the new operating or switching state achieved by the actuation when actuated.
  • the signal device 4 additionally has a proximity sensor 10, which generates the request signal S2 when a sensor-detected approach signal occurs.
  • the proximity sensor 10 detects this approach and transmits this information as a request signal S2 to the evaluation unit 8 on.
  • the respective existing operating state is stored in the evaluation unit 8 and is made aware of the request signal S2 through a corresponding acoustic information signal S. As a result, a manual scanning of the control element is no longer necessary.
  • the information signal S may be formed by a voice announcement message retrievable from a memory.
  • the acoustic signal element 6 is formed by a loudspeaker.
  • the information signal S may also be formed by a sound signal which varies as a function of the respective operating state.
  • the signal element 6 may be a speaker, but it is sufficient, for example, a buzzer or the like.
  • Fig. 2 Examples of such different tone signals are illustrated. According to Fig. 2a two different operating states are signaled distinguishable with two clocked tone signals with different clock sequences. According to Fig. 2b these are two tone signals with different frequencies.
  • the proximity sensor 10 may be formed as a passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor), ultrasonic or high-frequency sensor (RF sensor) or as a radar sensor.
  • PIR sensor passive infrared sensor
  • RF sensor ultrasonic or high-frequency sensor
  • radar sensor a radar sensor
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described embodiments, but also includes all the same in the context of the invention embodiments. It is expressly emphasized that the exemplary embodiments are not limited to all the features in combination, but rather each individual partial feature may also have an inventive meaning independently of all other partial features. Furthermore, the invention is not yet limited to the feature combination defined in claim 1, but can also be defined by any other combination of particular features of all individually disclosed features. This means that in principle virtually every individual feature of claim 1 can be omitted or replaced by at least one individual feature disclosed elsewhere in the application. In this respect, the claim 1 is to be understood only as a first formulation attempt for an invention.
