Description

本発明は、壁取付用スイッチに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a wall mounting switch.

従来、タッチスイッチを備え、タッチスイッチに指を触れる毎に、蛍光ランプの明るさを全点灯、調光点灯、消灯の順番で周期的に切り替えるようにした蛍光ランプ点灯装置があった（例えば特許文献１参照）。   Conventionally, there has been a fluorescent lamp lighting device that includes a touch switch and periodically switches the brightness of the fluorescent lamp in the order of full lighting, dimming lighting, and extinction each time a finger is touched on the touch switch (for example, a patent) Reference 1).

特開平１−２８６２９８号公報JP-A-1-286298

上述した従来の蛍光ランプ点灯装置は、タッチスイッチを指で触れることによって、蛍光ランプの明るさを、全点灯、調光点灯、消灯の順番で周期的に切り替えていた。この場合、消灯状態から全点灯状態に切り替えるためには、ユーザは、タッチスイッチを指で１回触れればよい。一方、消灯状態から調光点灯状態に切り替えるためには、ユーザは、タッチスイッチを指で１回触れて消灯状態から全点灯状態に切り替えた後、タッチスイッチを指で１回触れて全点灯状態から調光点灯状態に切り替えていた。このように、蛍光ランプを消灯状態から調光点灯状態に切り替えるために、明るさを切り替える操作を２回行わねばならず、操作が面倒であった。   In the conventional fluorescent lamp lighting device described above, the brightness of the fluorescent lamp is periodically switched in the order of full lighting, dimming lighting, and extinguishing by touching the touch switch with a finger. In this case, in order to switch from the unlit state to the fully lit state, the user may touch the touch switch once with a finger. On the other hand, in order to switch from the light-off state to the dimming light state, the user touches the touch switch once with a finger to switch from the light-off state to the full light-on state, and then touches the touch switch with the finger once to turn on the light. Was switched to the dimming lighting state. As described above, in order to switch the fluorescent lamp from the extinguished state to the dimming lit state, the operation of switching the brightness has to be performed twice, which is troublesome.

本発明は上記課題に鑑みて為されたものであり、その目的とするところは、照明負荷の明るさを所望の明るさに簡単な操作で切り替えられる壁取付用スイッチを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wall mounting switch capable of switching the brightness of an illumination load to a desired brightness with a simple operation.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の壁取付用スイッチは、操作者が操作部に触れるタッチ操作を検知するタッチセンサと、前記タッチセンサが前記タッチ操作を検知している時間が所定時間よりも短ければ短押し操作と判断し、前記タッチセンサが前記タッチ操作を検知している時間が前記所定時間以上であれば長押し操作と判断する操作検知部と、前記操作検知部の検知結果に基づいて照明負荷を制御する調光制御部とを備え、消灯状態において前記操作検知部が前記短押し操作を検知すると、前記調光制御部は所定の第１調光レベルで前記照明負荷を点灯させ、前記第１調光レベルで点灯している状態又は消灯状態において前記操作検知部が前記長押し操作を検知すると、前記調光制御部は前記第１調光レベルよりも明るい所定の第２調光レベルで前記照明負荷を点灯させ、前記第２調光レベル又は前記第１調光レベルにおいて前記操作検知部が前記押し操作を検知すると、前記調光制御部は前記照明負荷を消灯させることを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above-described problem, the wall mounting switch according to the present invention includes a touch sensor that detects a touch operation in which an operator touches the operation unit, and a time during which the touch sensor detects the touch operation from a predetermined time. If it is shorter, it is determined as a short press operation, and if the time during which the touch sensor detects the touch operation is longer than the predetermined time, the operation detection unit determines that the operation is a long press operation, and the detection result of the operation detection unit And a dimming control unit that controls the lighting load based on the lighting load, and when the operation detection unit detects the short press operation in a light-off state, the dimming control unit turns on the lighting load at a predetermined first dimming level. When the operation detection unit detects the long press operation in a state where the light is turned on or off at the first dimming level, the dimming control unit is a predetermined second brighter than the first dimming level. The lighting load is turned on at a light level, and when the operation detection unit detects the push operation at the second dimming level or the first dimming level, the dimming control unit turns off the lighting load. Features.

本発明によれば、操作者が操作部に所定時間以上触れているか否かによって照明負荷の調光レベルが直接的に切り替わるので、１回のスイッチ操作で照明負荷の明るさを所望の調光レベルに簡単に切り替えることができる。また、操作者が操作部を所定時間よりも短い時間押す短押し操作により照明負荷の点灯／消灯が切り替わるので、照明負荷の点灯／消灯の操作方法がわかりやすい。更に、操作者が操作部を所定時間以上押し続ける長押し操作により照明負荷が第１調光レベルよりも明るい第２調光レベルで点灯するので、照明負荷を第２調光レベルで点灯させる操作方法がわかりやすい。   According to the present invention, since the dimming level of the lighting load is directly switched depending on whether or not the operator has touched the operation unit for a predetermined time or longer, the brightness of the lighting load can be adjusted to a desired dimming level with a single switch operation. You can easily switch to the level. Further, since the lighting load is turned on / off by a short press operation of the operator pressing the operation unit for a time shorter than a predetermined time, the lighting load on / off operation method is easy to understand. Furthermore, since the lighting load is lit at the second dimming level brighter than the first dimming level by the long press operation in which the operator keeps pressing the operation unit for a predetermined time or longer, the operation of lighting the lighting load at the second dimming level. Easy to understand.

本実施形態の壁取付用スイッチを図１〜図３に基づいて説明する。   The wall mounting switch according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

本実施形態の壁取付用スイッチ１は、調光制御が可能な照明負荷１００の動作を制御するために用いられる。尚、照明負荷１００は、壁取付用スイッチ１から入力される調光信号Ｓ１の電圧レベルに応じて、光源である発光ダイオード（図示せず）の調光レベルを変化させるようなＬＥＤ照明器具である。   The wall-mounting switch 1 according to the present embodiment is used to control the operation of the lighting load 100 capable of dimming control. The lighting load 100 is an LED lighting device that changes the dimming level of a light-emitting diode (not shown) as a light source in accordance with the voltage level of the dimming signal S1 input from the wall mounting switch 1. is there.

図２は、壁取付用スイッチ１が壁２００に取り付けられた状態を正面から見た図であり、以下の説明では特に断りがないかぎり、図２に示す向きにおいて上下左右の方向を規定して説明を行う。   FIG. 2 is a front view of the state in which the wall mounting switch 1 is mounted on the wall 200. In the following description, the vertical and horizontal directions are defined in the direction shown in FIG. 2 unless otherwise specified. Give an explanation.

図１は壁取付用スイッチ１のブロック図である。この壁取付用スイッチ１は、信号処理部１１と、複数個のタッチセンサ１２と、出力回路１３と、複数個の発光ダイオード（ＬＥＤ）１４と、ブザー１５と、ドライブ回路１６，１７と、電源回路１８と、メモリ１９とを備える。尚、図１の回路を構成する回路部品が実装された回路基板（図示せず）は、器体２０の内部に収納されている。   FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wall mounting switch 1. The wall mounting switch 1 includes a signal processing unit 11, a plurality of touch sensors 12, an output circuit 13, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) 14, a buzzer 15, drive circuits 16 and 17, a power supply A circuit 18 and a memory 19 are provided. A circuit board (not shown) on which circuit components constituting the circuit of FIG. 1 are mounted is housed inside the container 20.

壁取付用スイッチ１の器体２０は合成樹脂により箱型に形成されており、器体２０を前方から見た形状は縦長の（左右方向よりも上下方向の方が長い）矩形状に形成されている。この器体２０は、埋込型配線器具を壁２００に取り付けるために使用される取付枠（図示せず）を用いて、壁２００に取り付けられる。取付枠の前側には化粧枠２１が取り付けられ、化粧枠２１の中央の開口２１ａから、器体２０の前面が露出する。尚、取付枠は、例えば特開２００９−７４９３６号公報に開示されているような従来周知のものであるから、図示及び説明は省略する。   The container 20 of the wall mounting switch 1 is formed in a box shape from a synthetic resin, and the shape of the container 20 viewed from the front is formed in a rectangular shape (longer in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction). ing. The container 20 is attached to the wall 200 using an attachment frame (not shown) used for attaching the embedded wiring device to the wall 200. A decorative frame 21 is attached to the front side of the mounting frame, and the front surface of the container 20 is exposed from the central opening 21 a of the decorative frame 21. The mounting frame is a conventionally known one as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-74936, and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted.

器体２０の前壁の裏側には、静電容量型のセンサで構成されたタッチセンサ１２が配置されている。タッチセンサ１２の個数は１個でも複数個でもよく、器体２０の前壁の略全体に設けられた操作部２０ａをカバーするために必要な個数のタッチセンサ１２が、器体２０の前壁の裏側に配置されている。器体２０は合成樹脂で形成されているので、タッチ操作を行うために器体２０の操作部２０ａに指で触れると、指で触れた部位の裏側付近にあるタッチセンサ１２の静電容量値が変化し、それに応じてタッチセンサ１２の出力が変化する。タッチセンサ１２の出力は信号処理部１１に入力されている。尚、タッチセンサ１２は静電容量式のものに限らず、抵抗膜方式など周知の検知方式のものが利用できる。   On the back side of the front wall of the vessel body 20, a touch sensor 12 composed of a capacitive sensor is disposed. The number of touch sensors 12 may be one or more, and the number of touch sensors 12 required to cover the operation unit 20a provided on substantially the entire front wall of the container 20 is the front wall of the container 20. It is arranged on the back side. Since the container 20 is formed of a synthetic resin, when a finger touches the operation unit 20a of the container 20 to perform a touch operation, the capacitance value of the touch sensor 12 near the back side of the part touched by the finger. Changes, and the output of the touch sensor 12 changes accordingly. The output of the touch sensor 12 is input to the signal processing unit 11. Note that the touch sensor 12 is not limited to the capacitive type, and a known detection type such as a resistive film type can be used.

器体２０の前壁の裏側には、複数個（例えば７個）の発光ダイオード１４が配置されている。発光ダイオード１４の各々は、例えばＲＧＢフルカラー発光の発光ダイオードで構成されている。発光ダイオード１４は、操作部２０ａの中心位置に対応する位置に１個配置され、この発光ダイオード１４を中心とする円周上に残りの６個の発光ダイオードが等間隔に配置されている。尚、器体２０の前壁は、発光ダイオード１４の発光が透過可能な程度の厚みに形成されている。   A plurality of (for example, seven) light emitting diodes 14 are arranged on the back side of the front wall of the container body 20. Each of the light emitting diodes 14 is composed of, for example, RGB full color light emitting diodes. One light-emitting diode 14 is disposed at a position corresponding to the center position of the operation unit 20a, and the remaining six light-emitting diodes are disposed at equal intervals on a circumference centering on the light-emitting diode 14. The front wall of the container body 20 is formed to a thickness that allows the light emission of the light emitting diode 14 to pass therethrough.

ここで、操作者が操作部２０ａを所定時間よりも短い時間押す操作を短押し操作といい、操作者が操作部２０ａを所定時間以上押し続ける操作を長押し操作という。尚、上記の所定時間とは、操作者が操作部２０ａに意図的に触れ続けているとみなせる程度の時間であり、例えば１秒〜２秒程度の時間に設定されている。   Here, an operation in which the operator presses the operation unit 20a for a time shorter than a predetermined time is referred to as a short press operation, and an operation in which the operator continues to press the operation unit 20a for a predetermined time or longer is referred to as a long press operation. In addition, said predetermined time is time which can be considered that the operator continues deliberately touching the operation part 20a, for example, is set to about 1 second-2 second time.

信号処理部１１は例えばマイクロコンピュータからなり、壁取付用スイッチ１の全体的な制御を行う。信号処理部１１は、操作検知部１１ａと、タイマ１１ｂとクロック（図示せず）とを備えている。タイマ１１ｂは、クロックの発生したパルス信号をカウントすることによって時間を計測する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。信号処理部１１は、タイマ１１ｂが動作している状態でタッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知しなくなるとタイマ１１ｂを停止させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間よりも短ければ短押し操作を検知し、タイマ１１ｂの計測時間が前記所定時間以上になれば長押し操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、操作検知部１１ａが短押し操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂをリセットする。信号処理部１１は、操作検知部１１ａが長押し操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを停止してリセットする。信号処理部１１は、操作検知部１１ａの検知結果に基づいて、照明負荷１００の点灯状態を制御する制御命令を出力回路１３及びドライブ回路１６，１７に出力する。尚、タッチ操作に応じた信号処理部１１の制御内容については後述する。   The signal processing unit 11 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer and performs overall control of the wall mounting switch 1. The signal processing unit 11 includes an operation detection unit 11a, a timer 11b, and a clock (not shown). The timer 11b measures time by counting the pulse signals generated by the clock. The signal processing unit 11 activates the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 stops the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 no longer detects a touch operation while the timer 11b is operating. The operation detection unit 11a detects a short press operation when the time measured by the timer 11b is shorter than a predetermined time, and detects a long press operation when the measurement time of the timer 11b is equal to or longer than the predetermined time. The signal processing unit 11 resets the timer 11b when the operation detection unit 11a detects a short press operation. When the operation detection unit 11a detects a long press operation, the signal processing unit 11 stops and resets the timer 11b. The signal processing unit 11 outputs a control command for controlling the lighting state of the lighting load 100 to the output circuit 13 and the drive circuits 16 and 17 based on the detection result of the operation detection unit 11a. The contents of control of the signal processing unit 11 according to the touch operation will be described later.

出力回路１３は、信号処理部１１からの制御命令に応じて調光信号Ｓ１の電圧レベルを変化させる。出力回路１３の調光信号Ｓ１は照明負荷１００に入力され、照明負荷１００は、調光信号Ｓ１の電圧レベルに応じて光源である発光ダイオード（図示せず）の調光レベルを制御する。   The output circuit 13 changes the voltage level of the dimming signal S1 according to the control command from the signal processing unit 11. The dimming signal S1 of the output circuit 13 is input to the lighting load 100, and the lighting load 100 controls the dimming level of a light emitting diode (not shown) as a light source according to the voltage level of the dimming signal S1.

ドライブ回路１６は、信号処理部１１からの制御命令に応じて、複数個の発光ダイオード１４の点灯／消灯、並びに、点灯させる場合はその発光色を個別に制御する。   In response to a control command from the signal processing unit 11, the drive circuit 16 individually turns on / off the plurality of light emitting diodes 14, and individually controls the emission color when the light emitting diodes 14 are turned on.

ドライブ回路１７は、信号処理部１１からの制御命令に応じてブザー１５を鳴動させる。   The drive circuit 17 sounds the buzzer 15 in accordance with a control command from the signal processing unit 11.

メモリ１９は、例えばＥＥＰＲＯＭなどの電気的に書き換え可能な不揮発性メモリからなり、短押し操作時に照明負荷１００を点灯させる第１調光レベルと、長押し操作時に照明負荷１００を点灯させる第２調光レベルの設定値が予め登録されている。本実施形態では例えば第１調光レベルとして７０％の調光レベルが設定され、第２調光レベルとして１００％の調光レベルが設定されている。尚、第１調光レベル及び第２調光レベルは工場出荷時に予め設定しておいてもよいし、設定ボリュームや切替スイッチなどの適宜の手段でユーザが設定値を変更できるようにしてもよい。   The memory 19 is composed of an electrically rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM, for example, and a first dimming level for lighting the lighting load 100 during a short press operation and a second dimming level for lighting the lighting load 100 during a long press operation. A set value of the light level is registered in advance. In the present embodiment, for example, a dimming level of 70% is set as the first dimming level, and a dimming level of 100% is set as the second dimming level. Note that the first dimming level and the second dimming level may be set in advance at the time of shipment from the factory, or the user may be able to change the set value using appropriate means such as a setting volume or a changeover switch. .

電源回路１８は、ＡＣ／ＤＣ変換部（ＡＣ／ＤＣ）１８ａと、ＬＤＯ（Low DropOut）レギュレータ（ＬＤＯ）１８ｂとで構成される。ＡＣ／ＤＣ変換部１８ａは、商用交流電源から供給される交流電力を直流に変換する。ＬＤＯレギュレータ１８ｂは、ＡＣ／ＤＣ変換部１８ａの出力電圧を所定電圧に降圧して信号処理部１１に供給する。尚、電源回路１８の構成は本実施形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜変更が可能である。   The power supply circuit 18 includes an AC / DC converter (AC / DC) 18a and an LDO (Low DropOut) regulator (LDO) 18b. The AC / DC converter 18a converts AC power supplied from a commercial AC power source into DC. The LDO regulator 18b steps down the output voltage of the AC / DC converter 18a to a predetermined voltage and supplies it to the signal processor 11. The configuration of the power supply circuit 18 is not limited to this embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.

ここで、壁取付用スイッチ１の動作について説明する。信号処理部１１は、操作検知部１１ａの検知結果に応じた負荷制御を行っており、その動作を表す状態遷移図を図３に示す。   Here, the operation of the wall mounting switch 1 will be described. The signal processing unit 11 performs load control according to the detection result of the operation detection unit 11a, and FIG. 3 shows a state transition diagram representing the operation.

照明負荷１００が消灯している状態（状態ＳＴ１）では、信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１６を制御して、発光ダイオード１４を緑色点灯させており、壁取付用スイッチ１の位置表示並びに操作部２０ａの位置表示を行う。   In the state where the illumination load 100 is turned off (state ST1), the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 16 to turn on the light emitting diode 14 in green, and the position display and operation unit of the wall mounting switch 1 is displayed. The position 20a is displayed.

照明負荷１００の消灯中に、操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間よりも短い時間のタッチ操作（短押し操作）を行うと（イベントｔ１）、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間よりも短いので、短押し操作と判断する。短押し操作が検知されると信号処理部１１は、メモリ１９から第１調光レベルの設定値を読み出す。信号処理部１１は、読み出した調光レベルに応じた調光信号Ｓ１を出力回路１３から照明負荷１００に出力させ、照明負荷１００を第１調光レベルで点灯させる（状態ＳＴ２）。本実施形態では第１調光レベルが７０％の調光レベルに設定されているので、状態ＳＴ２では照明負荷１００が７０％の調光レベルで調光点灯する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１７を制御してブザー１５から報知音（例えば「ピ」という音）を鳴動させ、短押し操作を受け付けたことを操作者に報知する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１６を制御して発光ダイオード１４を赤色点灯させることで、点灯中であることを視覚的に表示する。   When the operator performs a touch operation (short press operation) for a time shorter than a predetermined time on the operation unit 20a while the illumination load 100 is turned off (event t1), the touch sensor 12 detects the touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 activates the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. Since the time measured by the timer 11b is shorter than the predetermined time, the operation detection unit 11a determines that the operation is a short press operation. When the short press operation is detected, the signal processing unit 11 reads the setting value of the first dimming level from the memory 19. The signal processing unit 11 outputs a dimming signal S1 corresponding to the read dimming level from the output circuit 13 to the lighting load 100, and turns on the lighting load 100 at the first dimming level (state ST2). In the present embodiment, since the first dimming level is set to 70%, the lighting load 100 is dimmed and lit at the dimming level of 70% in the state ST2. In addition, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to sound a notification sound (for example, a sound of “pi”) from the buzzer 15 to notify the operator that a short press operation has been accepted. The signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 16 to light the light emitting diode 14 in red, thereby visually displaying that the light is being turned on.

照明負荷１００の消灯中に、操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間以上のタッチ操作（長押し操作）を行うと（イベントｔ２）、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２の検知開始からタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間以上であるため、長押し操作と判断する。長押し操作が検知されると信号処理部１１は、メモリ１９から第２調光レベルの設定値を読み出す。信号処理部１１は、読み出した調光レベルに応じた調光信号Ｓ１を出力回路１３から照明負荷１００に出力させ、照明負荷１００を第２調光レベルで点灯させる（状態ＳＴ３）。本実施形態では第２調光レベルが１００％の調光レベルに設定されているので、状態ＳＴ２では照明負荷１００が全点灯状態で点灯する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１７を制御してブザー１５から報知音（例えば「ピ，ピ」という音）を鳴動させ、長押し操作を受け付けたことを操作者に報知する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１６を制御して発光ダイオード１４を赤色点灯させることで、点灯中であることを視覚的に表示する。   When the operator performs a touch operation (long press operation) for a predetermined time or longer on the operation unit 20a while the illumination load 100 is turned off (event t2), the touch sensor 12 detects the touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 operates the timer 11b from the detection start of the touch sensor 12. Since the time measured by the timer 11b is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the operation detection unit 11a determines that the operation is a long press operation. When the long press operation is detected, the signal processing unit 11 reads the setting value of the second dimming level from the memory 19. The signal processing unit 11 outputs the dimming signal S1 corresponding to the read dimming level from the output circuit 13 to the lighting load 100, and turns on the lighting load 100 at the second dimming level (state ST3). In the present embodiment, since the second dimming level is set to a dimming level of 100%, in the state ST2, the illumination load 100 is lit in the fully lit state. Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to sound a notification sound (for example, a sound of “pi”) from the buzzer 15 to notify the operator that the long press operation has been accepted. The signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 16 to light the light emitting diode 14 in red, thereby visually displaying that the light is being turned on.

照明負荷１００が第１調光レベル又は第２調光レベルで点灯している状態（状態ＳＴ２，ＳＴ３）で、操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間よりも短い時間のタッチ操作（短押し操作）を行うと（イベントｔ３，ｔ４）、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間よりも短いため、短押し操作と判断する。点灯状態において短押し操作が検知されると信号処理部１１は、出力回路１３から調光信号Ｓ１の出力を停止させ、照明負荷１００を消灯させる（状態ＳＴ１）。また、信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１７を制御してブザー１５から報知音（例えば「ピ」という音）を鳴動させ、短押し操作を受け付けたことを操作者に報知する。また、信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１６を制御して、発光ダイオード１４を緑色点灯させることで、位置表示を行う。   When the illumination load 100 is lit at the first dimming level or the second dimming level (states ST2 and ST3), the operator touches the operation unit 20a for a time shorter than a predetermined time (short press operation). (Events t3 and t4), the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 activates the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. Since the time measured by the timer 11b is shorter than the predetermined time, the operation detection unit 11a determines that the operation is a short press operation. When a short press operation is detected in the lighting state, the signal processing unit 11 stops the output of the dimming signal S1 from the output circuit 13 and turns off the lighting load 100 (state ST1). In addition, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to sound a notification sound (for example, a sound of “pi”) from the buzzer 15 to notify the operator that a short press operation has been accepted. Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 16 to display the position by turning on the light emitting diode 14 in green.

照明負荷１００が第１調光レベルで点灯している状態（状態ＳＴ２）で、操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間以上のタッチ操作（長押し操作）を行うと（イベントｔ５）、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間以上であるため、長押し操作と判断する。長押し操作が検知されると信号処理部１１は、調光レベルを切り替えるために、メモリ１９から第２調光レベルの設定値を読み出す。信号処理部１１は、読み出した調光レベルに応じた調光信号Ｓ１を出力回路１３から照明負荷１００に出力させ、照明負荷１００を第２調光レベルで点灯させる（状態ＳＴ３）。本実施形態では第２調光レベルが１００％の調光レベルに設定されているので、状態ＳＴ３では照明負荷１００が全点灯状態で点灯する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１７を制御してブザー１５から報知音（例えば「ピ，ピ」という音）を鳴動させ、長押し操作を受け付けたことを操作者に報知する。   When the lighting load 100 is lit at the first dimming level (state ST2) and the operator performs a touch operation (long press operation) for a predetermined time or longer on the operation unit 20a (event t5), the touch sensor 12 is displayed. Detects a touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 activates the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. Since the time measured by the timer 11b is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the operation detection unit 11a determines that the operation is a long press operation. When the long press operation is detected, the signal processing unit 11 reads the setting value of the second dimming level from the memory 19 in order to switch the dimming level. The signal processing unit 11 outputs the dimming signal S1 corresponding to the read dimming level from the output circuit 13 to the lighting load 100, and turns on the lighting load 100 at the second dimming level (state ST3). In the present embodiment, since the second dimming level is set to a dimming level of 100%, in the state ST3, the illumination load 100 is lit in the fully lit state. Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to sound a notification sound (for example, a sound of “pi”) from the buzzer 15 to notify the operator that the long press operation has been accepted.

照明負荷１００が第２調光レベルで点灯している状態（状態ＳＴ３）で、操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間以上のタッチ操作（長押し操作）を行うと（イベントｔ６）、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知する。信号処理部１１は、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知するとタイマ１１ｂを動作させる。操作検知部１１ａは、タイマ１１ｂの計測した時間が所定時間以上であると判断して、長押し操作と判断する。長押し操作が検知されると信号処理部１１は、調光レベルを切り替えるために、メモリ１９から第１調光レベルの設定値を読み出す。信号処理部１１は、読み出した調光レベルに応じた調光信号Ｓ１を出力回路１３から照明負荷１００に出力させ、照明負荷１００を第１調光レベルで点灯させる（状態ＳＴ２）。本実施形態では第１調光レベルが７０％の調光レベルに設定されているので、状態ＳＴ２では照明負荷１００が７０％の調光レベルで調光点灯する。また信号処理部１１は、ドライブ回路１７を制御してブザー１５から報知音（例えば「ピ，ピ」という音）を鳴動させ、長押し操作を受け付けたことを操作者に報知する。   When the lighting load 100 is lit at the second dimming level (state ST3) and the operator performs a touch operation (long press operation) for a predetermined time or longer on the operation unit 20a (event t6), the touch sensor 12 is operated. Detects a touch operation. The signal processing unit 11 activates the timer 11b when the touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation. The operation detection unit 11a determines that the time measured by the timer 11b is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and determines that the operation is a long press operation. When the long press operation is detected, the signal processing unit 11 reads the setting value of the first dimming level from the memory 19 in order to switch the dimming level. The signal processing unit 11 outputs a dimming signal S1 corresponding to the read dimming level from the output circuit 13 to the lighting load 100, and turns on the lighting load 100 at the first dimming level (state ST2). In the present embodiment, since the first dimming level is set to 70%, the lighting load 100 is dimmed and lit at the dimming level of 70% in the state ST2. Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to sound a notification sound (for example, a sound of “pi”) from the buzzer 15 to notify the operator that the long press operation has been accepted.

上記の動作をまとめると、壁取付用スイッチ１は、消灯状態において、操作者が操作部２０ａに短押し操作を行うと照明負荷１００を第１調光レベルで点灯させ、操作者が操作部２０ａに長押し操作を行うと照明負荷１００を第２調光レベルで点灯させる。また、壁取付用スイッチ１は、照明負荷１００が第１調光レベル又は第２調光レベルで点灯している状態で、操作者が操作部２０ａに短押し操作を行うと照明負荷１００を消灯させる。また、壁取付用スイッチ１は、照明負荷１００が点灯している状態で、操作者が操作部２０ａに長押し操作を行うと照明負荷１００の調光レベルを第１調光レベルから第２調光レベルへ、或いは、第２調光レベルから第１調光レベルへと切り替える。   In summary, the wall mounting switch 1 turns on the lighting load 100 at the first dimming level when the operator performs a short press operation on the operation unit 20a in the light-off state, and the operator turns on the operation unit 20a. When a long press operation is performed, the illumination load 100 is turned on at the second dimming level. Further, the wall mounting switch 1 turns off the lighting load 100 when the operator performs a short press operation on the operation unit 20a while the lighting load 100 is lit at the first dimming level or the second dimming level. Let Further, the wall mounting switch 1 allows the dimming level of the lighting load 100 to be adjusted from the first dimming level to the second dimming when the operator performs a long press operation on the operation unit 20a in a state where the lighting load 100 is lit. Switch to the light level or from the second dimming level to the first dimming level.

以上説明したように、本実施形態の壁取付用スイッチ１は、タッチセンサ１２と、操作検知部１１ａと、調光制御部とを備える。タッチセンサ１２は、操作者が操作部２０ａに触れるタッチ操作を検知する。操作検知部１１ａは、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知している時間が所定時間よりも短ければ短押し操作と判断し、タッチセンサ１２がタッチ操作を検知している時間が所定時間以上であれば長押し操作と判断する。調光制御部は、操作検知部１１ａの検知結果に基づいて照明負荷１００を制御する。消灯状態において操作検知部１１ａが短押し操作を検知すると、調光制御部は所定の第１調光レベルで照明負荷１００を点灯させる。第１調光レベルで点灯している状態又は消灯状態において操作検知部１１ａが長押し操作を検知すると、調光制御部は第１調光レベルよりも明るい所定の第２調光レベルで照明負荷１００を点灯させる。第２調光レベル又は第１調光レベルにおいて操作検知部１１ａが押し操作を検知すると、調光制御部は照明負荷１００を消灯させる。   As described above, the wall mounting switch 1 of the present embodiment includes the touch sensor 12, the operation detection unit 11a, and the dimming control unit. The touch sensor 12 detects a touch operation in which the operator touches the operation unit 20a. The operation detection unit 11a determines that the touch sensor 12 is a short press operation when the time that the touch sensor 12 detects the touch operation is shorter than the predetermined time, and the time that the touch sensor 12 detects the touch operation is longer than the predetermined time. If it is a long press operation, it is determined. The dimming control unit controls the illumination load 100 based on the detection result of the operation detection unit 11a. When the operation detection unit 11a detects a short press operation in the extinguished state, the dimming control unit turns on the illumination load 100 at a predetermined first dimming level. When the operation detection unit 11a detects a long press operation in the lighting state or the extinguishing state at the first dimming level, the dimming control unit lights the illumination load at a predetermined second dimming level brighter than the first dimming level. 100 is turned on. When the operation detection unit 11a detects a push operation at the second dimming level or the first dimming level, the dimming control unit turns off the illumination load 100.

操作者が操作部２０ａに所定時間以上触れているか否かによって照明負荷１００の調光レベルが直接的に切り替わるので、１回のスイッチ操作で照明負荷１００の明るさを所望の調光レベルに簡単に切り替えることができる。また、操作者が操作部２０ａを所定時間よりも短い時間押す短押し操作により照明負荷１００の点灯／消灯が切り替わるので、照明負荷１００の点灯／消灯の操作方法がわかりやすい。更に、操作者が操作部２０ａを所定時間以上押し続ける長押し操作により照明負荷１００が第１調光レベルよりも明るい第２調光レベルで点灯するので、照明負荷１００を第２調光レベルで点灯させる操作方法がわかりやすい。   Since the dimming level of the lighting load 100 is directly switched depending on whether or not the operator has touched the operation unit 20a for a predetermined time or more, the brightness of the lighting load 100 can be easily adjusted to a desired dimming level with a single switch operation. You can switch to Further, since the lighting load 100 is turned on / off by a short pressing operation in which the operator presses the operation unit 20a for a time shorter than a predetermined time, the operation method of turning on / off the lighting load 100 is easy to understand. Further, the lighting load 100 is turned on at the second dimming level brighter than the first dimming level by the long pressing operation in which the operator keeps pressing the operation unit 20a for a predetermined time or longer. Easy to understand how to light up.
