ところが、従来の無線スイッチシステムは、複数のボタンが同時に操作されたときに、制御対象となる複数の照明機器を特定するために、無線スイッチが各ボタンに予め関連付けられた識別信号とは異なる専用信号を送信していた。このため、無線スイッチに識別信号と専用信号を別々に処理するための制御回路が必要になるうえ、この回路がバッテリレス無線スイッチの限られた電力を消費するという問題点があった。   However, in the conventional wireless switch system, when a plurality of buttons are operated at the same time, in order to identify a plurality of lighting devices to be controlled, the wireless switch has a dedicated signal different from the identification signal previously associated with each button. I was sending a signal. For this reason, a control circuit for separately processing the identification signal and the dedicated signal is required in the wireless switch, and this circuit has a problem that it consumes limited power of the batteryless wireless switch.

そこで、本発明の目的は、複数機器の同時操作が可能なバッテリレスの無線スイッチを簡単かつ省電力に構成できるシステムを提供することにある。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a system in which a batteryless wireless switch capable of simultaneously operating a plurality of devices can be configured easily and with reduced power consumption.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の無線スイッチシステムは、負荷機器を動作させるための複数のボタンを備えた無線スイッチと、ボタンの操作に応答して負荷機器を制御するためのコントロールユニットとを備え、無線スイッチに、ボタンが操作されたときに電力を発生する発電部と、発電部が発生した電力を用いてボタンに対応する負荷機器の識別信号を送信する通信部とを設け、コントロールユニットに、複数のボタンが個別に操作されたときに、各ボタンに対応する識別信号に基づいて負荷機器を個別に制御し、複数のボタンが同時に操作されたときに、各ボタンに対応する識別信号の組み合わせに基づいて複数の負荷機器を一斉に制御する制御部を設けたことを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above problems, a wireless switch system according to the present invention includes a wireless switch having a plurality of buttons for operating a load device, and a control unit for controlling the load device in response to the operation of the button. The wireless switch is provided with a power generation unit that generates power when the button is operated, and a communication unit that transmits an identification signal of a load device corresponding to the button using the power generated by the power generation unit. When multiple buttons are individually operated on the unit, the load device is individually controlled based on the identification signal corresponding to each button. When multiple buttons are operated simultaneously, the identification corresponding to each button is performed. A control unit that controls a plurality of load devices at the same time based on a combination of signals is provided.

また、本発明の無線スイッチシステムは、コントロールユニットの制御部が、複数の識別信号の組み合わせに関連付けて複数の負荷機器の動作パターンを記憶する手段を備えたことを特徴とする。   In the wireless switch system of the present invention, the control unit of the control unit includes means for storing operation patterns of a plurality of load devices in association with a combination of a plurality of identification signals.

本発明の無線スイッチシステムによれば、複数のボタンが同時に操作されたときに、各ボタンに対応する識別信号をコントロールユニット側の制御部で処理するので、無線スイッチに制御回路を設ける必要がなく、制御回路が電力を消費することもなく、バッテリレスの無線スイッチを簡単かつ省電力に構成できるという効果がある。   According to the wireless switch system of the present invention, when a plurality of buttons are operated simultaneously, the identification signal corresponding to each button is processed by the control unit on the control unit side, so there is no need to provide a control circuit in the wireless switch. There is an effect that the batteryless wireless switch can be configured easily and with low power consumption without consuming power by the control circuit.

本発明の一実施形態を示す無線スイッチシステムの概観図である。1 is an overview of a wireless switch system showing an embodiment of the present invention. 図１のシステムの回路構成を示すブロック図である。It is a block diagram which shows the circuit structure of the system of FIG.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図１に示すように、この実施形態の無線スイッチシステム１は、無線スイッチ２とコントロールユニット３とを備え、負荷機器としての複数の照明機器（Ｌ１〜Ｌ４）４を制御する。照明機器４はコントロールユニット３に接続され、コントロールユニット３が無線スイッチ２に無線接続されている。無線スイッチ２の外面には、照明機器４をＯＮ／ＯＦＦする２つのボタンＡ，Ｂが設けられている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless switch system 1 of this embodiment includes a wireless switch 2 and a control unit 3, and controls a plurality of lighting devices (L1 to L4) 4 as load devices. The illumination device 4 is connected to the control unit 3, and the control unit 3 is wirelessly connected to the wireless switch 2. Two buttons A and B for turning on / off the illumination device 4 are provided on the outer surface of the wireless switch 2.

図２に示すように、無線スイッチ２の内部には、ボタンＡ，Ｂが操作されたときに電力を発生する発電部５と、ボタンＡ，Ｂに予め関連付けられた照明機器４の識別信号を出力する通信部６とが設けられている。発電部５には、ボタンＡ，Ｂが押されたときの物理力で発電する圧電素子等が用いられている。通信部６は、発電部５が発生した電力を用い、押されたボタンＡ，Ｂに対応する照明機器４を特定するための識別信号を送信する。   As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless switch 2 includes an identification signal for the power generation unit 5 that generates power when the buttons A and B are operated, and the illumination device 4 that is associated with the buttons A and B in advance. An output communication unit 6 is provided. The power generation unit 5 uses a piezoelectric element that generates power with physical force when the buttons A and B are pressed. The communication unit 6 uses the power generated by the power generation unit 5 to transmit an identification signal for specifying the lighting device 4 corresponding to the pressed buttons A and B.

コントロールユニット３には、照明回路を開閉するリレーＲ１〜Ｒ４と、リレーＲ１〜Ｒ４を駆動するリレー駆動部８と、無線スイッチ２から識別信号を受信する受信部９と、受信した信号に基づいてリレー駆動部８を制御する制御部１０とが設けられている。そして、制御部１０は、ボタンＡ，Ｂが別々に操作されたときに照明機器４の個別制御を行い、ボタンＡ，Ｂが同時に操作されたときに照明機器４の一斉制御を行うようになっている。   The control unit 3 includes relays R1 to R4 that open and close the lighting circuit, a relay drive unit 8 that drives the relays R1 to R4, a reception unit 9 that receives an identification signal from the wireless switch 2, and a received signal. A control unit 10 that controls the relay drive unit 8 is provided. The control unit 10 performs individual control of the lighting device 4 when the buttons A and B are operated separately, and performs simultaneous control of the lighting device 4 when the buttons A and B are operated simultaneously. ing.

例えば、個別制御に際し、ボタンＡが押されたときに、リレーＲ１を駆動して照明機器Ｌ１（図１参照）を点灯させ、ボタンＢが押されたときに、リレーＲ２を駆動して照明機器Ｌ２を点灯させる。一斉制御にあたっては、ボタンＡ，Ｂが所定時間内に同時に押されたときに、リレーＲ１〜Ｒ４を駆動して照明機器Ｌ１〜Ｌ４を一斉に点灯させる。ボタンＡ，Ｂが再操作されたときには、照明機器Ｌ１〜Ｌ４が個別または一斉に消灯する。   For example, in the individual control, when the button A is pressed, the relay R1 is driven to turn on the lighting device L1 (see FIG. 1), and when the button B is pressed, the relay R2 is driven to turn on the lighting device. L2 is turned on. In simultaneous control, when the buttons A and B are simultaneously pressed within a predetermined time, the relays R1 to R4 are driven to turn on the lighting devices L1 to L4 all at once. When the buttons A and B are operated again, the lighting devices L1 to L4 are turned off individually or simultaneously.

制御部１０はメモリを装備し、ボタンＡ，Ｂに対応する識別信号の組み合わせに関連付けて、複数の照明機器４の動作パターンを記憶している。従って、２つ以上のボタンの操作を組み合わせてより多くの照明機器４の点灯、消灯、減光、増光等を多様に制御することができる。特に、各ボタンに対応する識別信号をコントロールユニット３側の制御部１０で処理しているので、バッテリレスの無線スイッチ２を簡単かつ省電力に構成することができる。   The control unit 10 is equipped with a memory and stores operation patterns of the plurality of lighting devices 4 in association with combinations of identification signals corresponding to the buttons A and B. Accordingly, it is possible to variously control lighting, extinguishing, dimming, brightening, and the like of more lighting devices 4 by combining operations of two or more buttons. In particular, since the identification signal corresponding to each button is processed by the control unit 10 on the control unit 3 side, the batteryless wireless switch 2 can be configured simply and with low power consumption.

なお、本発明は、照明機器に限定されるものではなく、エアコン、音響機器、画像表示装置などの各種電気機器に適用することもできる。その他、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、各部の構成を適宜に変更して実施することも可能である。   Note that the present invention is not limited to lighting devices, and can also be applied to various electric devices such as air conditioners, acoustic devices, and image display devices. In addition, the configuration of each unit can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
