Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical installation device with a Ge housing in which several buttons and an actuating button are arranged.
  • Such installation devices are known in many forms and are used to switch electrical components such as lighting fixtures, blind controls, temperature controls, etc.
  • an electrical installation device with a housing in which at least two buttons are arranged, over which a common Actuate supply button is arranged.
  • the actuating button can thus be used not only to actuate one or the other button. Rather, it is possible to actuate both buttons at the same time with one and the same actuating button.
  • an electronic means is provided which only outputs a single switching signal if both buttons are actuated by the actuating button within a predetermined time window.
  • an actuating button can be arranged over two or more buttons, so that two or more buttons can be actuated when the button is pressed.
  • the electronic means is provided which only outputs a single switching signal, even if both buttons have been pressed within the specified time window.
  • the installation device can be designed in such a way that the actuating button covers only one button or two, four or even more buttons.
  • the electronic means always ensuring that regardless of the number of buttons covered by the actuation button, only a single switching signal is output, even if several buttons are within of the time window can be pressed simultaneously.
  • the electronic means can include a switching device which deactivates the switching function of one or more pushbuttons. This ensures that only one button is activated at a time, so that only a single switching signal is output.
  • the electronic means can detect an actuation of a plurality of buttons within the time window. This makes it possible, for example, to detect which of the buttons was pressed first within the time window, so that only its switching signal is output. In the same way, it is also possible to disable all other buttons for a certain period of time after detecting the button that was pressed first.
  • micro-keys can be provided as the keys, which are arranged in at least two rows on a circuit board. Such an arrangement can be produced very inexpensively and installed in a space-saving manner.
  • a display can be provided next to the buttons, which displays the switching states and/or switching functions assigned to the buttons.
  • other parameters such as temperature, humidity level, time, etc. can of course also be displayed.
  • the display can be arranged next to a row of buttons or between two rows of buttons, whereby the display can be mounted or aligned horizontally or vertically.
  • the representation of the functions in the display can be flexibly reprogrammed together with the assignment of the individual keys.
  • the display can be divided into different segments, e.g. depending on individual buttons or individual keys, whereby the display segments can be freely programmable both in size and in the assignment and/or positioning to the individual buttons or keys. An asymmetrical division of the display segments is also possible here, or the display of a single display segment on the entire display.
  • a bi-stable display for example an e-paper display, which is arranged in particular between two or between two rows of actuating keys.
  • a bi-stable display can also be individually programmed and configured so that, for example, the function of a particular button and also the switching position of an electrical component can be displayed.
  • a bistable display has the advantage that it also displays information if the supply voltage should fail.
  • a controller can be provided that assigns different switching times to at least one button depending on the time of day. assigns functions. For example, the switching function for outdoor lighting can be assigned to one and the same button from a certain time of day, while indoor lighting can be switched with the same button at another time of day.
  • the controller can also be used to assign a freely configurable function to each button, be it a switching function or a programming or display function.
  • a plurality of actuating buttons of different sizes can be provided, so that the electrical installation device can be flexibly configured depending on requirements.
  • a large number of switching options can be provided with one and the same installation device simply by providing different sized actuation buttons.
  • the size of an actuation button can be an integer multiple of the size of another actuation button.
  • an actuation button can be provided which is twice as large, three times as large or even four times as large as another actuation button.
  • the actuating button can be clipped into a holding element of the installation device, which has an integrally formed spring element which presses the actuating button into its rest position.
  • the actuating button only has to be clipped into the retaining element for assembly, with the actuating button then being pressed into its rest position by the spring element.
  • you press the Actuate supply button this then exerts - for example by an integrally formed actuating projection - a pressure on one or more associated buttons and after releasing the operating button by the spring element as the pushed back into the rest position.
  • all the operating buttons of the installation device can be clipped into the retaining element, which simplifies both the installation and the replacement of individual operating buttons.
  • the holding element can be designed like a frame and, in particular, surround a display. This allows actuating buttons to be arranged on two or more sides of a display.
  • the spring element can be fork-shaped and in particular can be penetrated by an actuating projection of the actuating button.
  • the actuating button is held centrally above each button.
  • actuation buttons can be provided, with at least one actuation button covering only a single button.
