DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is an arrangement configuration diagram of a lighting control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
Parts that are the same as or equivalent to those in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
In the figure, 1 is a lighting module that performs dimming control of a plurality of lighting fixtures, 2 is a lighting controller for performing blinking / dimming control of the lighting fixtures of the lighting module 1 for each lighting module, and 3 is built in the lighting controller 2. Alternatively, the illuminance sensor 4 is arranged in a separate form and measures the illuminance in a predetermined area, and the illuminance sensor 4 is built in the illumination controller 2 or arranged in a separate form in the same manner as the illuminance sensor 3. The human sensor 5 for detecting the lighting is a lighting fixture that is controlled to be blinked and dimmed by the lighting controller 2, and four lighting fixtures 5 are arranged for one lighting module 1.
[0017]
These are arranged at the positions of lattice points on the ceiling divided in a lattice shape, and are grouped for each lattice point. For example, in the case of FIG. 1, the lighting module 1, the lighting controller 2, and the like are grouped at each of the 24 lattice points divided into 4 rows and 6 columns.
[0018]
Reference numeral 6 denotes a communication line for connecting the 24 lighting controllers 2 to each other, and all the lighting controllers 2 are connected by a single communication line 6 like a single stroke.
A network is constructed by the communication line 6, and the lighting controllers 2 exchange control information with each other and control lighting fixtures within their own control range while cooperating with each other.
[0019]
Next, the configuration of the illumination controller 2 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram of the illumination controller 2.
In the figure, 7 is a control unit that outputs a dimming signal to the lighting fixture 5 based on the sensor outputs of the illuminance sensor 3 and the human sensor 4, and 8 is control information that the control unit 7 outputs to the lighting fixture 5. , A communication means for transmitting to another lighting controller 2 via the communication line 6, and 9 is a setting device for transmitting a serial signal for setting the address of the lighting controller 2 and the module configuration of the floor, such as a wireless remote controller. .
[0020]
Further, 10 is a light receiving unit that is set by the setting device 9 and receives the transmitted setting information, 11 is a module configuration storage means for storing the configuration of the floor module set by the setting device 9, and 12 is assigned to itself. Address storage means 13 for storing the received address is position determination means for recognizing the position of the lighting controller 2 and the position of the surrounding lighting controller 2 from the module configuration and the self address.
[0021]
Next, a description will be given of a method of recognizing the position of the lighting controller relative to the whole from the setting of the floor module and the address in the lighting control system.
First, the setting device 9 is used to input 4 rows and 6 columns, which are the arrangement configuration of the lighting modules 1 constituting the lighting control system for the entire floor, and from the setting device 9 to the light receiving units 10 of all the lighting controllers 2. Send. The transmitted information is stored in the module configuration storage means 11 via the control unit 7 of each lighting controller 2. The information stored in the module configuration storage unit 11 has the same contents in all the lighting controllers 2.
[0022]
FIG. 3 shows a state in which addresses are assigned to the respective lighting controllers 2 by the setting device 9.
As shown in the figure, 24 alphabets a to x representing addresses are assigned in order to each of the 24 lighting controllers 2 (indicated after the product number). In the text below, this notation will be followed, and if an address is required, it will be written after the part number.
[0023]
When the address set in this way is transmitted to each illumination controller 2 by the setting device 9, its own address is stored in the address storage means 12 via the light receiving unit 10 and the control unit 7. At this time, the process of assigning the addresses a, b, and c along the horizontal columns is stored in the address storage means 12 in advance.
[0024]
In this way, the lighting controller for the lighting of the entire floor is recognized, and each lighting controller 2 stores the module configuration and address setting of the floor. Then, the floor module configuration information stored in the module configuration storage unit 11 and the address information stored in the address storage unit 12 are input to the position determination unit 13 via the control unit 7. From these pieces of information, the position determination means 13 can recognize the position of the lighting module 1 of the entire lighting module 1 and the lighting modules 1 located in the vicinity.
That is, it is grasped where the position of the lighting module 1 is located when viewed from the entire floor, and how many lighting modules 1 are present in which direction.
[0025]
For example, when information indicating that the lighting control 2 of the entire floor has a module configuration composed of 4 rows and 6 columns (total 24) and information that the target address is h is input to the lighting controller 2h, The determination unit 13 recognizes that the address of its own lighting module 1 is the second vertical column and the second horizontal column.
At the same time, the adjacent illumination modules 1 are also recognized as 1a, 1b, 1c, 1g, 1i, 1m, 1n, 1o.
[0026]
Next, the operation will be described.
When the detection information of the illuminance sensor 3 incorporated in its own lighting controller and the presence / absence information of the human sensor 4 are input to the control unit 7, the lighting controller 2h of the lighting module 1h Determine the lighting output and control lighting and dimming.
At this time, when human absence information is input from the human sensor 4, the illuminance detection information of the illuminance sensor 3 and the human presence / absence information of the human sensor 4 are transmitted to the other illumination controllers 2. Make the requested notification.
[0027]
Upon receiving the notification, the other lighting controller 2 transmits the illuminance detection information and the presence / absence information of the person to the control unit 7 of the lighting controller 2h via the communication line 6.
At this time, the control unit 7 recognizes that the adjacent peripheral lighting controller 2 is the lighting controller 2a, 2b, 2c, 2g, 2i, 2m, 2n, 2o from its own address h and the floor module configuration information. The information received from the lighting controller 2 is ignored. Therefore, the controller 7 illuminates itself based on the illuminance detection information of the illuminance sensor 3 of the illumination controllers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2g, 2i, 2m, 2n, and 2o and the presence / absence information of the human sensor 4. The illumination output of the controller 2h is determined.
[0028]
For example, when the human sensors 4 arranged in each of the lighting controllers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2g, 2i, 2m, 2n, and 2o are all absent information, the control unit 7 turns off all of these lighting modules. To do.
In addition, when any one of the human sensors 4 arranged in each of the lighting controllers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2g, 2i, 2m, 2n, and 2o is present information, there is a person at the address h. The dimming control of the illumination module 1h is performed so that the illumination output is 50% of the output at.
[0029]
Here, for convenience, the row direction is referred to as the X direction, the column direction is referred to as the Y direction, and the directions obtained by rotating the X direction and the Y direction counterclockwise by 45 degrees in the plane are referred to as the RX direction and the RY direction, respectively. I will decide.
[0030]
Next, consider a case where an adjacent illumination module is viewed from the illumination module 1h. Eight adjacent lighting modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1g, 1i, 1m, 1n, and 1o are groups of lighting modules 1b, 1g, 1i, and 1n positioned in the X or Y direction, which are in the vertical and horizontal directions (first Can be divided into groups of illumination modules 1a, 1c, 1m, and 1o (referred to as a second group) positioned in the diagonal direction RX or RY. When the distance from the lighting module 1h is compared, the first group is closer to the second group.
For this reason, there is a difference in illumination output between the case where the human body detection sensor 4 of the first group detects the presence of a person and the case where the human body detection sensor 4 of the second group detects the presence of a person. The dimming control may be performed with In this way, the difference between the vertical and horizontal directions and the diagonal direction can be corrected, and dimming control independent of the direction becomes possible.
[0031]
As described above, each lighting module 1 recognizes itself and the addresses and positions of the surrounding lighting modules 1. For this reason, control information such as presence / absence by the human sensor 4 can be exchanged based on the address, and individual wiring between adjacent lighting modules 1 is not required. That is, the control information can be exchanged by simply connecting all the lighting controllers 2 on the floor with a single communication line 6 like a single stroke. This makes it possible to perform economical lighting control without waste while maintaining a comfortable lighting environment without being affected by the seating rate or the seating position of people.
[0032]
Moreover, although the form of this invention demonstrated the case where the illumination module 1 was arrange | positioned without interruption in a grid | lattice form, it is not limited to this.
For example, even if a part of the arrangement shown in FIG. 3 is missing, the setter 9 presumes that the missing part exists and assigns 24 addresses in order. After the allocation, each lighting control 2 notifies the other lighting controller 2 of a transmission request for the illuminance detection information of the illuminance sensor 3 and the presence / absence information of the person of the human sensor 4. In response to this notification, it is determined that the address that has not been transmitted is missing (the lighting module 1 does not exist).
Thus, even if there is a missing part in the lighting module 1, it can be applied.
[0033]
Moreover, in this Embodiment, about the case where the illumination output of the own illumination controller 2 is determined based on the illumination intensity detection information of the illumination sensor 3 in the other illumination controller 2 and the presence / absence information of the person of the human sensor 4. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this. The lighting output of the own lighting controller 2 may be determined based on the lighting output of another lighting controller 2.
[0034]
In the present embodiment, the case where the setting device 9 such as a wireless remote controller is used as the setting means has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be set via a dip switch or a network attached to the controller. Furthermore, the setting value set in the setting device 9 may be freely changed using the setting device 9 according to the environment of the room to be used and the preference of the user.
[0035]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 4 is an arrangement configuration diagram of the illumination control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Parts that are the same as or equivalent to those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.
[0036]
In the first embodiment, the peripheral illumination controller 2 in the dimming control is associated with only the controller adjacent to the own illumination controller 2.
However, depending on how the desks in the office are arranged, it is more convenient to set a group with a certain range than the lighting control between adjacent lighting controllers 2 and operate them in association with each other. Sometimes good. In addition, when a partition or the like is added to the office after the lighting control system is introduced, it may be more convenient to set a group according to the partition or the like.
Therefore, in this embodiment, a case where a plurality of lighting modules 1 arranged on the entire floor are grouped will be described. In the present embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment is omitted.
[0037]
For example, in the figure, G1, G2, and G3 mean group 1, group 2, and group 3, respectively, and lighting controllers 2a, 2b, 2g, 2h, 2m, 2n, 2s, and 2t belong to group 1, and group 2 Includes lighting controllers 2c, 2d, 2i, 2j, 2o, 2p, 2u, and 2v, and group 3 includes lighting controllers 2e, 2f, 2k, 2l, 2q, 2r, 2w, and 2x.
[0038]
In this way, when the entire floor is divided into three groups, each group is controlled independently. That is, instead of the floor module configuration described in the first embodiment, the group module configuration is set by the setting device 9 and the modules of each group are stored in the module configuration storage means 11, so that the illumination of other groups It is possible to prevent the module 1 from being affected. Therefore, the illumination controller 2b is only affected by the adjacent illumination controllers 2a, 2g, and 2h. This setting can be freely changed via the setting device 9 or a network. This makes it possible to perform various groupings in a form suitable for actual use, improving usability.
Embodiment 3 FIG.
[0039]
Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described.
Since the arrangement configuration of the lighting control system and the configuration / operation of the lighting module are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
Also, the same or equivalent parts as in the first and second embodiments or the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and different points will be described.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the illumination controller 14 in the present embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 101 denotes adjacent information storage means for storing the illuminance, address, and decision determination information of the lighting controller 2 adjacent vertically and horizontally.
[0040]
Compared with the first embodiment, the floor module, the address setting, and the recognition operation for the lighting controller to recognize its own position are different. This point will be described.
[0041]
Prior to the recognition operation, the setting unit 9 instructs the light controller 2a through the light receiving unit 10 to instruct the lighting controller of 2a to set the adjacent information storage means 101 of all the lighting controllers to the unset state. . Thereafter, the recognition operation start is instructed from the setting device 9 through the light receiving unit 10.
[0042]
The lighting controller 2a that has started the recognition operation sets its own adjacent information storage means 101 and the adjacent information storage means 101 of the nearest lighting controllers 2b and 2g while having the initiative. The initial state of the adjacent information storage means is not set, and when it is not set, it is set based on the illuminance measurement work.
[0043]
In the illuminance measurement work, first, the lighting controller 2a to be measured turns on its own lighting fixture 5. Next, the value of the illuminance sensor is transmitted to the illumination controller 2a by broadcast communication. Receiving this, each illumination controller transmits the value of each illumination intensity sensor to the illumination controller 2a. Thereby, the illumination controller 2a collectively obtains the illuminance measured by each illumination controller. Since the illuminance approximately shows a distribution that attenuates according to the square of the distance, the address of the nearest lighting controller is found.
[0044]
Although it is possible to obtain the address of the lighting controller closest to the illuminance measurement operation, the direction cannot be determined. Therefore, the lighting controller 2a determines its own adjacent information storage means 101 by comparing its own adjacent information storage means 101 with the adjacent information storage means 101 of the closest lighting controller.
That is, it is presumed that a common address other than its own address included in the adjacent information storage means 101 possessed by the closest lighting controller is located in its own RX or RY direction (diagonal direction). It is determined that the two closest lighting controllers to be shared are located in the X or Y direction (vertical and horizontal directions). The information thus determined is sequentially stored in the adjacent information storage unit 101.
[0045]
Then, the lighting controller 2a that has determined its own adjacent information storage means 101 transfers the initiative to 2b, so that the center of a series of determination operations moves to 2b. In this way, the initiative is shifted sequentially, and the recognition operation ends at the next point where the adjacent information storage means 101 of all the lighting controllers is determined.
[0046]
Hereinafter, based on this principle, the process from when the lighting controller 2a determines the positional relationship of the neighboring lighting controllers and when the initiative is transferred to the lighting controller 2b will be described in detail.
[0047]
FIG. 6 illustrates a process in which the adjacent information storage unit 101 determines addresses of adjacent lighting controllers.
Hereinafter, the process will be described step by step with reference to the drawings.
Step 1 is the initial state and there is no information about the adjacent lighting controller. At this time, the address is determined in advance by setting the address in the address storage means by the setting device 9 described in the first embodiment, or by setting the basic address like a serial number at the time of factory shipment. It is assumed that However, no relationship is required between the address and the arrangement.
[0048]
In step 2, only the lighting controller 2a turns on the lighting fixture 5, and issues an illuminance measurement request using simultaneous broadcast communication. Each illumination controller 2 transmits an illuminance measurement result to 2a which is a transmission source. Since the illuminance is attenuated in accordance with the square of the distance, the distribution of the illuminance measured by the illumination controller 2a itself and the illuminance measurement result from each illumination controller 2 is compared, and the nearest illumination controller 2 is 2b and 2g. It turns out that there is. Therefore, this result is recorded in the adjacent information storage means 101. At this time, since the positional relationship is undetermined, it is stored as being either above or below 2a or left and right. In the figure, 2b and 2g are shown randomly recorded vertically and horizontally.
[0049]
In step 3, the direction of the adjacent lighting controller is determined. Since there is no constraint condition for determining the direction for the lighting controller 2a, the position of one of the lighting controllers 2b and 2g can be freely determined (determined). Here, as shown in the figure, the position of 2b is confirmed, and a circle mark is attached to indicate that it has been confirmed.
[0050]
In step 4, the same thing as step 2 is performed about the illumination controller 2b. Thereby, 2a, 2c, and 2h are determined as the illumination controllers nearest to 2b. At this time, since the positional relationship is undetermined, it is stored as being either on the top or bottom of 2b or on the left or right. In the figure, 2a, 2c, and 2h are shown randomly recorded vertically and horizontally, respectively.
[0051]
In step 5, the information in the adjacent information storage means 2a is compared with the information in the adjacent information storage means 2b, and if there is a position that can be determined, it is determined.
In the figure, a state is shown in which the position of 2a is fixed (represented with a circle) so that the positional relationship between 2a and 2b in step 3 is maintained.
[0052]
In step 6, the same thing as step 2 is performed about the illumination controller 2g.
As a result, 2a, 2h, and 2m are determined as the nearest lighting controller to 2g. At this time, since the positional relationship is undetermined, it is stored as being in either the top or bottom or the left or right of 2g. In the figure, 2a, 2h, and 2m are shown to be recorded randomly at the top and bottom or the left and right respectively.
[0053]
In step 7, the contents of the illumination storage means 2b, the contents of the illumination storage means 2g, and the contents of the illumination storage means 2a are compared, and if there is a position that can be determined, it is determined.
That is, as a result of comparing the contents of the illumination storage means of 2b and 2g, it is found that 2a and 2h are common to both, and thereby it is determined that 2a and 2h are in a diagonal positional relationship. In the figure, 2a and 2h are confirmed (represented with a circle).
[0054]
At this stage, since the elements to be confirmed are completed in the adjacent information storage means 2a, the subject of the recognition operation is transferred to 2b.
[0055]
In step 8, the same thing as step 2 is performed about the illumination controller 2h. As a result, 2b, 2g, 2n, and 2i are determined as the illumination controllers nearest to 2h. At this time, since the positional relationship is undetermined, it is stored as being either on the top or bottom of 2h or on the left or right. In the figure, 2b, 2g, 2n, and 2i are shown to be randomly recorded vertically and horizontally.
[0056]
In step 9, the contents of the adjacent information storage means 2a, 2b and 2h are compared, and if there is a position that can be determined, it is determined.
That is, as a result of comparing the contents of the illumination storage means of 2a and 2h, it is found that 2b and 2g are common to both, thereby determining that 2b and 2g are in a diagonal positional relationship. In the figure, 2b and 2g are confirmed (represented with a circle).
[0057]
Similarly, all the lighting controllers can acquire the address of the adjacent lighting controller.
[0058]
If the adjacent information storage means sets the information so as to satisfy not only the nearest lighting controller but also the diagonal controller and the like, and the distance between the lighting controllers, etc., the accuracy is further improved. Judgment is possible.
[0059]
【The invention's effect】
The lighting control system according to the present invention is configured as described above and has the following effects.
[0060]
Since each lighting module 1 recognizes itself and the position and address of the surrounding lighting module 1 and exchanges control information based on this address, the communication line 6 is minimal (the lighting modules are connected with each other). Just connect like writing). This eliminates the need for a communication line for individually connecting adjacent lighting modules, and provides a lighting control system that does not require complicated wiring work.
[0061]
In addition, a human sensor for detecting the presence / absence of a person is provided in each lighting controller, and the lighting fixtures of the self and the surrounding lighting modules are controlled based on the detection result, address, and position information of the human sensor. Since it did in this way, it becomes possible to provide an economical lighting control system without waste, maintaining a comfortable lighting environment, without being influenced by the seating rate or the seating position of people.
[0062]
In addition, since the setting configuration for setting and changing the arrangement configuration of the lighting modules, the address assigned to each lighting module and the specific group is provided, without changing the partition after the system introduction, It is possible to provide a lighting control system that can be easily handled.
[0063]
Furthermore, since the adjacent information storage means itself determines the positional relationship between its own lighting module and the adjacent lighting module based on information obtained by communicating with each other, the adjacent illumination module It is possible to provide an easy-to-use lighting control system that does not require a specific positional relationship between modules.
