Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a device that can be easily installed between a power source and an electrical appliance to remotely control the electrical appliance.

(B) Conventional Technology The blinking and other controls of fixtures such as ceiling-hanging lighting fixtures are controlled by switches mounted on the wall or by strings hanging from the lighting fixtures.

There are also devices that allow this control to be performed remotely, but these have a function built into the lighting equipment and require a dedicated control transmitter, which makes them expensive.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive device that can remotely control the blinking of fixtures such as ceiling-hanging lighting fixtures.

(d) Means for solving the problem This invention will be explained based on FIG. 1 of the drawings.
A power output terminal 4 connected to a power source 3 is provided in the power output terminal section 2 installed at the power source 3 .

Normally, the power input terminal 14 provided in the power input terminal section 13 of the power cord 15 of the lighting equipment, etc. is fitted and matched with the power output terminal 4 to supply power to the lighting equipment, etc. .

In addition, there are also devices that can also be used to hang and hold lighting equipment, etc., due to this fitting.

According to this invention, the power output section 2 provided on the ceiling;
The control device main body 5 is inserted between the power input section 13 provided in the lighting equipment and the fitting.

This control device main body 5 includes one input terminal 6 of the main body, another input terminal 7 of the main body, and a signal receiver 11 for remote control.
A board 8 having a control circuit having a pilot lamp 12 and one output terminal 9' of the main body are attached to the other output terminal 10 of the main body.

One input terminal 6 of the main body attached to the control device main body 5 and the other input terminal 7 of the main body are connected to the power cord 15 of a lighting fixture etc. so that they match the power output terminal 4 provided on the ceiling 1. It is made similarly to the power input terminal section 13.

Furthermore, one output terminal 9 of the control device main body and the other output terminal 10 of the main body are connected to the power output terminal 4 provided on the ceiling 1 so as to match the power input terminal portion 13 of the power cord 15 of a lighting fixture, etc. are made similarly.

Therefore, the control device main body 5 can be easily installed between the output terminal section 2 provided on the ceiling 1 and the power input terminal section 13 of the power cord 15 of a lighting fixture or the like.

(e) Operation The main body 5 of the control device has a board 8 equipped with a power control circuit having a signal receiver 11 for remote control, and can control power on/off, etc. by the light emitting signal from the control transmitter. Therefore, lighting equipment, etc. can be easily provided with a control function by remote control.

(f) Embodiment FIG. 2 shows the circuit configuration of the power supply control circuit used in the embodiment of the present invention, and its operation will be explained based on this as follows.

One input terminal 6 of the main body of this device is directly connected to one output terminal 9 of the main body.

The other input terminal 7 of the main body is connected to the other output terminal 10 of the main body via an AC 100V line switching section 20 in a board 8 equipped with a control circuit.

Power for this circuit is supplied by a stabilized power supply circuit section 21 via a safety circuit 23 from each input terminal.

The infrared signal transmitted from the operating transmitter is received by the infrared receiver 11, converted into an electrical signal, amplified by the amplifier 16, shaped by the signal shaping part 17, and set on a timer for determining the on-time of the received signal. The signal is transmitted to the circuit section 18.

The on-time determination timer circuit unit 18 determines the transmission time length of the operating transmitter, that is, the length of the signal reception time, and transmits one signal to the switching unit 19 if the time matches a preset time.

For this reason, the operation transmitter is not related to the transmission waveform (if the operation transmitter is a continuous transmission type, it will emit for a preset time or longer, and if it is a single-shot transmission type, it will not transmit the waveform in advance). This control device can be controlled by repeating the transmitting operation intermittently for a set time, and the wavelength of the light emitting part of the operating transmitter almost matches the wavelength of the light receiving part of the control device. If it is a physical object, the operation transmitter and its operation buttons must also be specified (they can be used).

The switching section 19 is composed of a flip-flop circuit, and therefore, the first signal from the previous stage transmits the signal to the next stage AC100V line switching section 20, and the transmission is stopped at the next second signal. .

The 100V line switching unit 20 is composed of a phototriac coupler circuit, and when a signal is transmitted from the previous stage, the ED in the phototriac coupler issues a signal, the phototriac is energized, and AClo is output to the other output terminal 10 of the main body. (The IV line is output, lighting equipment etc. are turned on, and at the next second signal, the output is stopped and the lights are turned off.

The power-on reset circuit section 22 is used to turn on and off lighting fixtures and the like using a method other than the present device, that is, a wall switch or the like.

When the light is turned on by this device, it can be turned off by turning off a wall switch, etc. However, when the light is turned off, it cannot be turned on.For this reason, this device is equipped with a power-on reset circuit section 22. When the switching unit 19 stops signal transmission due to this circuit, that is, when the lighting equipment etc. is off, when you turn on the Showei equipment etc. with a wall switch etc., turn this switch off and then By turning on the power with a switch, the state of the switching unit 19 is always set to the state in which the first signal was received, that is, the state in which the signal is transmitted to the AC 100V line switching unit 20, and lighting equipment etc. are turned on. .

The pilot lamp 12 indicates that the state of the switching section 19 is A.
It lights up when the signal to the CIQOV line switching unit 20 is stopped, that is, when the lighting equipment etc. is off. When it is lit, the device is in operation and remote control is not possible. It shows what is possible.

(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, the control device according to the present invention includes an input terminal portion that matches the output terminal portion for general lighting equipment installed on the ceiling, and - An output terminal section that matches the input terminal section is provided, so this control device can be easily installed between the ceiling output terminal section and the input terminal section of Shomei appliances, etc. The flashing can be easily controlled remotely.

Further, the control device according to the present invention is provided with an on-time judgment timer circuit section, so there is no need to specify the operating transmitter, and it is possible to use the control device in combination with other models.

Note that even when used in conjunction with other models within the same control range, the judgment time of the on-time judgment timer circuit section must be longer than the operation time of the normal operation transmitter (in the example, 3
Since this control device is installed near the ceiling and in a high place, it is possible to have a large difference in direction from other models, so when the control transmitter is used for both purposes within the same control range. There are no malfunctions, and each can be controlled remotely.

As described above, the control device according to the present invention has the advantage that it can be easily attached to a -M ceiling hanging type lighting fixture, etc. without the need for any tools.

Moreover, it can be easily controlled remotely using various operating transmitters that are already in use, and it has the great effect of not requiring a dedicated operating transmitter and therefore being able to provide it at a low cost. It is.
