Description

The present invention relates to wiring and control of a circuit using a switch.

In a circuit using a three-way switch, two wires are required between the switches, and the circuit cannot be established with one wire. This is natural because the electric load is controlled by switching the switch. However, while the electrical load is off, the circuit is open, it is impossible to control the circuit, and various controls are not possible.
This is the same for a two-way switch.

Various sensors can be used for various controls, and functions that have never been seen before can be incorporated by enabling communication outside or inside the circuit. With the 3-way switch circuit, it is also possible to incorporate functions that match each switch. ..
Moreover, the layout of the circuit to control is not limited to the inside and the periphery of the switch, but it can be installed easily and freely by enabling the electric load and the distribution board.

In a 3-way switch circuit that uses multiple switches, each switch can send and receive signals to and from the control circuit, enabling the use of various sensors and communication outside and inside the circuit for a variety of controls. enable. The same applies even if it is placed in a two-way switch circuit.

If it is on the power line of the circuit, various sensors, communication functions outside or in the switch circuit, additional operation switches, etc. can be incorporated.

The two wires between the switches of the three-way switch circuit are short-circuited into one, and the electrical release at the time of switch operation is used as the operation signal of the switch, and the potential change detector of the circuit inserted in the circuit and it. The circuit is established by the relay to be operated, hereinafter referred to as a switch circuit control device (the above-mentioned "control circuit"). The same applies even if the 4-way switch is turned on.
Even if it is placed in the circuit of a two-way switch, the same can be done by changing the two-way switch to a three-way switch or a four-way switch.

It is also possible to control a variety of circuits. Each switch can have a sensor and various functions, and each switch can operate both actively and passively.

Further, the switch can be controlled by the switch circuit control device without using the switch by the above-mentioned connection method, the contacts are short-circuited, or the contacts are kept closed. In this case, it is particularly easy to install in a two-way switch circuit. In addition, the installation location of the switch circuit control device is built in the switch, built in the electric load, connected in the socket, connected with the adapter type, connected in the distribution board, or built in the case.

In particular, it is possible to operate the 3-way switch circuit for a certain period of time, and the power saving effect of the shared staircase lighting is high. In addition, even with a ventilation fan, after operating for a certain period of time, the power saving effect is high due to intermittent operation and automatic operation with sensors.

The switch can incorporate various functions such as turning on the display function and lights, disabling the switch operation, remote control function and operation from a smartphone by transmitting and receiving signals from the switch circuit control device and the outside.
Functions using various sensors are also possible.
Anyone can use it because these functions can be enabled without any change to the conventional switch operation.
There is no need to add wiring to the equipment or make major changes, and it is easy to introduce.
Since the switch circuit control device can be installed on the power supply line, it can be easily installed anywhere.
