Description

  The present invention relates to a remote control system including a single remote control transmitter that transmits a wireless control signal, and a first load and a second load that are controlled based on the control signal of the remote control transmitter.

  In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a configuration of an illumination load that uses a combination of main lighting such as a ceiling light and sub-lighting such as a downlight for the purpose of producing space in a room such as a house. In such a configuration, some of the main illuminations are provided with a remote control transmitter attached to a lighting fixture, but none of the sub illuminations are provided with a remote control transmitter. For this reason, in order to turn on / off the sub-lighting, a switch embedded in the wall portion of the room must be pushed, and the operability of the sub-lighting is poor.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, it is conceivable to provide a remote control transmitter attached to the lighting fixture in the secondary lighting. However, in this case, since remote control transmitters corresponding to the main illumination and the sub-illumination are prepared, the number of remote control transmitters increases. As a result, the remote controller transmitter must be used after being distinguished from the main illumination and the sub-illumination, which is inconvenient. Such a problem is not limited to the lighting fixture, and the same can be said for other load devices.

  Therefore, a control system that can control a plurality of load devices by using a common remote control transmitter is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 discloses that, in addition to main illumination, a load device such as a television or an air conditioner is controlled by a common remote control transmitter. As a result, an increase in the number of remote control transmitters can be suppressed, and usability can be improved.

  By the way, in patent document 1, the receiving part which receives the control signal transmitted from a remote control transmitter with respect to each load apparatus, and the control part which controls a load apparatus based on this control signal were required. Here, in the case of a load device controlled by a wall-embedded switch (hereinafter referred to as “switch”) provided on the wall, the load device is controlled by a control unit provided on the switch. However, the configuration of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the configuration of the load device is complicated because the load device requires a control unit in addition to the switch control unit.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to share a remote control transmitter for each load device and to complicate the configuration of the load device controlled by a switch. The object is to provide a controlled remote control system.

In the following, means for achieving the above object and its effects are described.
(1) The invention described in claim 1 includes a single remote control transmitter that transmits a wireless control signal, a first load and a second load that are controlled based on the control signal of the remote control transmitter, and A remote control system comprising a switch for controlling on / off of power supply of the second load by a push operation, wherein the remote control transmitter has a first channel and a second channel for transmitting different control signals, respectively. The switch includes a first operation handle and a second operation handle having a standardized size, and the first operation handle receives the control signal output from the first channel, thereby receiving the first load. The second operation handle receives the control signal output from the second channel, and thereby supplies the power supplied to the second load. And it is required to control.

  According to the present invention, since the first load and the second load can be controlled by a single remote control transmitter, that is, the remote control transmitter can be made common to the first load and the second load. The number of remote control transmitters can be reduced, improving usability.

In addition, since the switch receives the control signal from the remote control transmitter and controls the second load, that is, the second load is controlled by the switch, the second load is supplied with the same load power. It is not necessary to provide a configuration for controlling on / off. Therefore, complication of the configuration of the second load can be suppressed.
The remote control transmitter distinguishes between the control signal transmitted to the first operation handle and the control signal transmitted to the second operation handle by switching between the first channel and the second channel. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress a problem of erroneous operation such that the second load is controlled when the second operation handle receives a control signal for controlling the first load.
Furthermore, since the switch is configured to be stored in a standardized size, compared to a configuration in which the switch is not stored in a standardized size, construction when replacing an existing switch with the switch of the present invention. Becomes easy.

(2) The invention described in claim 2 is the remote control system according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of the second loads are provided, and the second operation handle is configured to supply power to all the second loads. The gist is to control on and off in a batch.

According to the present invention, since the second operation handle can collectively control on / off of power supply to all of the plurality of second loads, the light receiving unit is compared with the configuration in which the light receiving unit is provided for each second load. Can be reduced. Therefore, the number of light receiving units as the remote control system can be reduced, and the remote control system can be prevented from becoming expensive.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a remote control system in which a remote control transmitter is made common to each load device and the complexity of the configuration of the load device controlled by the switch is suppressed.

Then, when the switch 1A receives the wireless signal, the on / off control of the power supply of the sub-lighting DL is performed.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the switch 1A is provided with a first operation unit SW1 above the height direction and a second operation unit SW2 below the height direction.
The first operation unit SW1 is provided with a handle 10 that performs a push operation and a display unit 10a that indicates light emission of an LED provided on the back side of the handle 10. The second operation unit SW2 includes a handle 11 that performs a push operation, a reception cover unit 11a that covers the light receiving unit 11e, and a light emission of an LED that is provided inside the reception cover unit 11a and provided on the back side of the handle 11. Is provided. A decorative plate 20 is provided so as to surround the handles 10 and 11 from the height direction and the length direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the switch 1A is provided with an operation piece 12 for performing an operation of registering a wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B (see FIG. 1). A receiving circuit 30 (not shown in FIG. 2) is provided for controlling on / off of power supply to the sub-lighting DL based on a signal from the light receiving unit 11e of the switch 1A.

  The switch 1A is provided with an attachment frame 13 formed in a frame shape. This mounting frame 13 is a mounting frame for three large squares that is standardized by the Japanese Industrial Standards or the Japan Wiring Equipment Manufacturers Association. In addition, in the mounting frame 13 of this embodiment, the wiring fixture of three wiring fixture dimensions can be attached to a height direction, and the wiring fixture of one wiring fixture size can be attached to a length direction (henceforth, This mounting frame 13 is a “series of size” mounting frames).

  In addition, the handle 10 is formed in a size corresponding to one module size which is a size of a wiring device that can be attached to a maximum of three pieces in the standardized mounting frame, and the handle 11 has two module sizes (that is, 1). The size is equivalent to twice the size of the individual module.

  Although not shown, the switch 1A is provided with a circuit board on which the receiving circuit 30 is provided, a terminal member that is connected to an electric wire wired on the back side of the wall, and a body that houses the circuit board and the terminal member.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the remote control transmitter 1 </ b> B includes a remote control main body 40 constituting the outer frame, first to third operation units 42 to 44 provided in the remote control main body 40, and each operation unit 42. The light emitting unit 45 transmits a wireless signal in accordance with the pressing operation of .about.44. In addition, the remote control transmitter 1B is provided with a transmission circuit 50 that transmits a signal based on a signal associated with a pressing operation of the operation units 42 to 44 to the light emitting unit 45.

  Here, the 1st operation part 42 lights the main illumination CL (refer FIG. 1), the 2nd operation part 43 adjusts the illumination intensity of the main illumination CL (light control), 3rd operation part 44 turns off the main illumination CL.

  On the side surface 40a of the remote control main body 40, a channel switching unit 46 for switching the wireless signal from the light emitting unit 45 to a signal corresponding to the channels CH1 and CH2 is provided. Specifically, when the channel switching unit 46 sets the channel CH1, a wireless signal for controlling the main illumination CL (see FIG. 1) is transmitted from the light emitting unit 45. When the channel switching unit 46 sets the channel CH2, a wireless signal for controlling the sub-lighting DL (see FIG. 1) is transmitted from the light emitting unit 45.

Next, an outline of the circuit configuration of the receiving circuit 30 provided in the switch 1A and the transmitting circuit 50 provided in the remote control transmitter 1B will be described with reference to FIGS.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the reception circuit 30 includes a reception unit 31, a control unit 32, a signal registration unit 33, a storage unit 34, a load control unit 35, and a power supply unit 36.

  The receiving unit 31 receives a wireless signal from the remote control transmitter 1B (see FIG. 1). The light receiving unit 11 e constitutes a part of the receiving unit 31. The load control unit 35 includes a switch element (for example, a relay or a semiconductor switching element) provided in a power supply path from the AC power supply AC to the sub-lighting DL. The power source unit 36 is supplied with power from the AC power source AC and generates an operating power source for each unit.

  The controller 32 performs opening / closing control of the switch element based on the wireless signal received by the receiver 31. Specifically, the control unit 32 outputs a control signal to the load control unit 35, and based on the control signal, the load control unit 35 opens / closes the switch element to open / close the power supply path to the sub illumination DL. Become. Specifically, when the receiving unit 31 receives a wireless signal indicating that the sub-lighting DL is lit when the switch element is in the open state, the control unit 32 is in the closed state via the load control unit 35. And the power supply path to the sub-illumination DL is closed. Thereby, power is supplied to the sub-lighting DL, and the sub-lighting DL is turned on. On the other hand, when the receiving unit 31 receives a wireless signal to turn off the sub-lighting DL when the switch element is in the closed state, the control unit 32 is driven to open the switch element via the load control unit 35. Then, the power supply path to the sub-lighting DL is opened. Thereby, the power supply to the sub-lighting DL is cut off, and the sub-lighting DL is turned off.

  Further, the load control unit 35 collectively controls on / off of power supply of the four sub-lights DL based on the control signal. Specifically, when the load control unit 35 drives the switch elements to close, all the sub-lights DL are turned on, and when the load control unit 35 opens the switch elements, all the sub-lights DL are turned off. .

  The signal registration unit 33 registers a wireless signal transmitted by the remote control transmitter 1B. Thus, the control signal is output from the control unit 32 to the load control unit 35 only when the wireless signal received by the receiving unit 31 matches the registered wireless signal. When a new wireless signal is registered, the handle 11 is removed and the operation piece 12 is pushed as shown in FIG. As the operation piece 12 is pressed, an operation unit (not shown) of the registration button is pressed.

  When the registration button is pressed, the operation mode of the control unit 32 shifts to the registration mode and the display unit 11b is turned on. The operation piece 12 returns to the original position when the pressing operation is released, and the pressing operation of the registration button is also released.

  Thereafter, when the receiving unit 31 receives the registered wireless signal, the control unit 32 stores the wireless signal in the storage unit 34. When the registration of the wireless signal is completed, by pressing the operation piece 12 again, the display unit 11b is turned off and the control unit 32 shifts from the registration mode to the original operation mode.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the transmission circuit 50 includes a control unit 51 that performs control based on the pressing operation of the first to third operation units 42 to 44, a battery 52 that supplies power to the control unit 51, and a control The transmission unit 53 is configured to transmit a wireless signal based on a control signal from the unit 51. The light emitting unit 45 constitutes a part of the transmitting unit 53.

  The control unit 51 includes a lighting / extinguishing circuit 54, a dimming circuit 55, and a channel switching circuit 56. The lighting / extinguishing circuit 54 controls lighting and extinguishing of the main illumination CL (see FIG. 1) by the first operation unit 42 and the third operation unit 44. The dimming circuit 55 adjusts the illuminance of the main illumination CL by the second operation unit 43. The channel switching circuit 56 performs wireless signal switching by switching the channels CH1 and CH2 in accordance with the operation of the channel switching unit 46.

  In the present embodiment, when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is set to the channel CH2, that is, when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is set to a wireless signal for controlling the sub-illumination DL, the switch 1A is directed to the light receiving unit 11e. The sub-lighting DL is controlled by transmitting the wireless signal. Specifically, the reception unit 31 receives the wireless signal and outputs a signal to the control unit 32. Based on this signal, the control unit 32 outputs a control signal for controlling the sub-lighting DL to the load control unit 35 because the wireless signal stored in advance matches the above signal.

  On the other hand, when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is set to the channel CH1, that is, when the wireless signal for controlling the main illumination CL is set as the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B, the wireless signal is transmitted toward the light receiving unit 11e. However, the sub-lighting DL is not controlled. Specifically, since the signal output from the reception unit 31 toward the control unit 32 and the wireless signal stored in advance by the control unit 32 do not match, the control signal for controlling the sub-lighting DL is not output to the load control unit 35. .

  Similarly, when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is set to the channel CH2, the main illumination CL is not controlled, and when the wireless signal is set to the channel CH1, the main illumination CL is controlled.

  As described above, the remote control transmitter 1B performs control of lighting and extinction of the main illumination CL and dimming control by transmitting a wireless signal set to a receiving unit (not shown) provided in the main illumination CL. On the other hand, the remote control transmitter 1B controls the turning on and off of the sub-lighting DL by transmitting a wireless signal set to the light receiving unit 11e of the switch 1A.

  By the way, as a configuration for controlling the sub-lighting DL by the remote control transmitter 1B, each sub-lighting DL is provided with a receiving unit, and the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is received by the receiving unit, and the sub-lighting DL is turned on and off. The structure which controls can be considered.

  However, in the case of a configuration in which a receiving unit is provided for each sub-lighting DL, when there are four sub-lighting DLs as in this embodiment, four receiving units are required, and the number of receiving units is large. turn into. As a result, there is a problem that the system becomes expensive.

  Therefore, in order to reduce the number of receiving units, a configuration in which receiving units are provided only for a predetermined sub-lighting DL is conceivable. Specifically, a configuration is conceivable in which when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter is received by the receiving unit, all of the four sub-lights DL are turned on and off.

  However, since the sub-lights DL have the same configuration, it is difficult to determine which sub-lights DL are provided with the receiving unit, and the control of the sub-lights DL by the remote control transmitter 1B becomes unusable. It was.

  In that respect, in this embodiment, the light receiving unit 11e is provided in the switch 1A, and the number of the above receiving units is increased by controlling the sub-lighting DL based on the wireless signal received by the light receiving unit 11e. Both of the problems that make it difficult to grasp the position of the receiving unit of the sub-lighting DL can be solved at the same time.

  Further, the remote control transmitter attached to the lighting fixture may have different wireless signals transmitted by the remote control transmitter depending on the lighting fixture manufacturer. In such a case, the wireless signal of each lighting fixture manufacturer is stored in advance in the storage unit 34 of the receiving circuit 30. Thereby, when the receiving unit receives the wireless signal transmitted from the remote control transmitter of each manufacturer, it is determined whether there is a signal that matches the pulse signal stored in the storage unit 34. And when it corresponds with the memorize | stored wireless signal, a control signal is output to the load control part 35 from the control part 32, and lighting and extinction of sub-lighting DL will be controlled.

According to the system 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) According to the present embodiment, the main lighting CL and the sub-lighting DL can be controlled by the single remote-control transmitter 1B, that is, the remote control transmitter 1B is made common to the main lighting CL and the sub-lighting DL. The number of remote control transmitters can be reduced.

  In addition, a configuration in which a wireless signal transmitted from the remote control transmitter 1B is received by the light receiving unit 11e of the switch 1A to control the sub-lighting DL, that is, the control of the sub-lighting DL is controlled by the control unit 32 and the load control unit 35 of the switch 1A. Is a configuration to be performed. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a receiving unit and a control unit for each of the sub-lights DL. Therefore, complication of the configuration of the sub-lighting DL can be suppressed.

  (2) According to the present embodiment, the switch 1A can collectively control on / off of power supply to all four sub-lights DL. Therefore, the number of light receiving portions 11e can be reduced as compared with the configuration in which the light receiving portions are provided in each sub-illumination DL. Therefore, the number of light receiving units as the system 1 can be reduced, and the system 1 can be prevented from becoming expensive.

  (3) According to the present embodiment, the reception circuit 30 of the switch 1A is provided with the signal registration unit 33 that registers the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B. Accordingly, since the control signal is output from the control unit 32 to the load control unit 35 only when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B matches the registered wireless signal, the sub-illumination is received by receiving the wireless signal other than the remote control transmitter 1B. An erroneous operation in which the DL is controlled can be suppressed.

  In particular, when the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B differs depending on the manufacturer of the lighting fixture, the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B of each company is registered in advance in the signal registration unit 33 and stored in the storage unit 34. It is. Therefore, even if each company's remote control transmitter 1B is used, the sub-lighting DL can be controlled by the common switch 1A.

  (4) According to the present embodiment, the remote control transmitter 1B distinguishes between the wireless signal transmitted to the main illumination CL and the wireless signal transmitted to the switch 1A by switching between the channels CH1 and CH2. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress a problem of an erroneous operation such as when the switch 1A receives the wireless signal for controlling the main illumination CL and the sub illumination DL is controlled.

  (5) According to the present embodiment, the handles 10 and 11 of the switch 1A are stored in a series of sizes. Here, when the switch handle is not accommodated in a series of sizes, it is necessary to provide a switch of two sizes. In that case, when replacing from an existing series of size switches, additional work is required to expand from a series of size holes provided in the wall to a double size hole. In that respect, in this embodiment, since the handles 10 and 11 of the switch 1A are housed in a series of sizes, the additional work can be omitted. Therefore, the construction for replacing the existing switch with the switch 1A is facilitated. Furthermore, since a series of size switches are most frequently used in a house or the like, the degree of freedom of the position where the switch 1A is attached is improved.

(Second Embodiment)
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the remote control system of the present invention is embodied as a control system for controlling the main lighting as a ceiling light and the sub-lighting as a downlight provided in a room such as a house. The second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the configurations of the switch 1A and the remote control transmitter 1B are different from those of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment will be mainly described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, a remote control transmitter 1B is attached to the switch 1A. More specifically, the handle 11 of the switch 1A, the remote control transmitter 1B sites and approximately the same shape of the portion other than the receiving cover part 11 a of the handle 11 is attached. A permanent magnet 11c is provided inside the receiving cover portion 11a. The remote control transmitter 1B is provided with a permanent magnet 11c and a magnetic metal plate (not shown) that is magnetically attracted. The remote control transmitter 1B is detachably attached to the handle 11 by the action of magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet 11c and the metal plate. Further, an engaging claw 11d that engages with the remote control transmitter 1B is provided on the side surface of the receiving cover portion 11a. By engaging the engaging claw 11d with the remote control transmitter 1B, the position of the remote control transmitter 1B with respect to the handle 11 is determined.

  In a state where the remote control transmitter 1B is attached to the handle 11, the handle 11 is pushed by pushing the remote control transmitter 1B. Thereby, on / off of the power supply of the sub-lighting DL is controlled, and lighting and extinguishing of the sub-lighting DL are controlled. On the other hand, in a state where the remote control transmitter 1B is detached from the handle 11, the turning on and off of the sub-lighting DL is similarly controlled by directly pressing the handle 11.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the remote control transmitter 1 </ b> B is provided with a remote control body 60 serving as a casing formed of a rectangular flat plate in plan view. An operation unit 61 is provided on the back side of the remote control body 60. The operation unit 61 includes a first operation unit 63 that operates turning on and off the main illumination CL and the sub-illumination DL (see FIG. 1), and a second operation unit 64 that controls dimming of the main illumination CL. It has been. A light emitting unit 62 is provided on the upper end surface 60 a in the height direction of the remote control body 60.

  The remote control transmitter 1B transmits and receives a wireless signal to a receiving unit provided in the main illumination CL, thereby performing control of turning on and off the main illumination CL and dimming control of the main illumination CL. On the other hand, the remote control transmitter 1B controls the turning on and off of the sub-lighting DL by transmitting a wireless signal to the receiving unit of the switch 1A.

According to the system 1 of the present embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (5) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(6) According to the present embodiment, the remote control transmitter 1B can be attached to and detached from the handle 11 of the switch 1A. Therefore, since the portion of the handle 11 serves as a place for the remote control transmitter 1B, a place provided separately from the main light CL required for the remote control transmitter attached to the main light CL can be omitted. As a result, the problem of losing the remote control transmitter 1B due to forgetting the placement location can be suppressed.

(Other embodiments)
The system 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and for example, the following changes can be made. Further, the following modification examples are not only applied to the above-described embodiments, but can also be applied to a case where different modification examples are combined with each other.

  According to the remote control transmitter 1B of each of the above embodiments, the wireless signal to the main illumination CL and the wireless signal to the switch 1A are distinguished by the setting of the channels CH1 and CH2, but the present invention is limited to this. There is nothing. For example, the main illumination CL and the switch 1A may be controlled by the wireless signal of the channel CH1. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, it is desirable to set the reception range R1 of the main illumination CL narrower than the reception range R2 of the conventional main illumination CL shown in FIG. Thereby, the reception range R1 of the main illumination CL and the reception range (not shown) of the switch 1A can be partitioned, and the main illumination CL is controlled by an operation for controlling the sub-illumination DL by the remote control transmitter 1B. It is possible to suppress erroneous operations such as In addition, since the switching operation of the channels CH1 and CH2 is omitted, the complexity of the operation of the remote control transmitter 1B can be suppressed.

  According to the switch 1A of each embodiment described above, the handle 10 for controlling the main illumination CL and the handle 11 for controlling the sub-illumination DL are provided on the mounting frame 13 having a series of sizes. It is not limited to. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the handle 10 and the handle 11 are attached to a two-frame-sized mounting frame (not shown) which is a mounting frame in which two single-sized mounting frames are arranged in the length direction. Each can also be attached. Specifically, a three-module handle 10 is attached to the right side in the length direction of the switch 1A, and a three-module handle 11 is attached to the left side in the length direction. Thereby, pushing operation of each handle 10 and 11 becomes easy.

However, the handle of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to control the dimming of the main illumination CL at the handle 10 by separately providing a knob for dimming control at the handle 10. The same applies to the sub-lighting DL.

  According to the system 1 of each of the above embodiments, the light receiving unit 11e is provided only on the handle 11, and the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B is received by the light receiving unit 11e, thereby controlling the sub-lighting DL. The control of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the handle 10 may be provided with a light receiving unit to receive a wireless signal from the remote control transmitter 1B. In this case, it is desirable to distinguish the wireless signal from the remote control transmitter 1B between the light receiving unit 11e of the handle 11 and the light receiving unit of the handle 10. As a result, by transmitting the wireless signal of the remote control transmitter 1B toward the switch 1A, it is possible to control both the main illumination CL and the sub illumination DL.

  According to the system 1 of each of the above embodiments, the first operation unit SW1 and the second operation unit SW2 are provided in one switch 1A, but the configuration of the switch 1A of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first operation unit SW1 and the second operation unit SW2 may be provided in the first switch and the second switch that are provided at different wall positions.

  According to the system 1 of each of the above embodiments, the control system for the two types of loads, the main lighting CL and the sub-lighting DL, is used. For example, the control system for three or more types of loads including a ventilation fan and other lighting fixtures. It can also be. Also, the number of channels can be increased according to the number or type of loads. Similarly, the number of handles 10 and 11 can be increased according to the number or type of loads.

  According to the remote control transmitter 1B of each of the above embodiments, infrared rays are used as wireless signals, but other wireless signals such as radio waves, light, and electromagnetic waves can be used as wireless signals.

  In the remote control transmitter 1B of each of the embodiments described above, the second operation unit 43 that controls the dimming of the main illumination CL is provided, but the second operation unit 43 may be omitted.
