Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a lighting fixture with a remote control switch and a method of controlling the switch.

In conventional lighting equipment, the switch is operated by a switch string hanging from the lighting equipment, but in most cases it is operated by a recessed switch buried in the wall. The location of those switches had to be changed.

In contrast, in recent years, buildings and residences equipped with central control systems have been adopted for buildings and residences, but these systems control the power supply etc. in one place, which requires a huge amount of equipment construction. It had problems such as:

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides wiring equipment for various lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps.

The purpose of the present invention is to propose a remote control method that allows users to turn on, turn off, dim, etc. from their hand without modifying the lighting equipment, and to provide a lighting fixture with a remote control switch based on this method. be.

That is, the present invention provides a part of various lighting equipment with a switch for turning on and off the power of the lighting equipment, and the switch is operated on and off by a switch operating mechanism driven by a signal from a receiving device. It is configured to transmit an activation signal from a transmitter/device that can be carried at hand, and the transmitted and received signals are known infrared or FM.
By using signals such as waves, it is also possible to control the dimming of incandescent lighting equipment.

Hereinafter, the remote control switch according to the principle of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG.

A plurality of lighting fixtures 1a, 1b11C are switch devices 2a1
Each is connected to the power supply 3 via 2b12C,
Each of the switch devices 2. a, 2b.

The light turns on or off depending on the opening and closing of 2C.

Each of the switch devices 2a, 2b, and 2c is selectively opened and closed by the operation of a switch drive control device 4, and the switch drive control device 4 selects and turns on the receiving bag 2c.
Apply any operating output of OFF.

The receiving device 5 receives a signal from the transmitting device 7 which is attached to the control panel B and emits a unique signal for selecting the lighting equipment and turning it on or off, and converts it into an activation signal for the switch drive control device 4. do.

For example, a Jumpria made and installed on the ceiling can be used to store multiple light bulbs.
If it consists of a, 1b, 1c or a group of light bulbs, turn on the selection switch on the control panel B at hand.

By operating either OF'F (7), it becomes possible to independently blink the shampoo bulbs 1a, 1b, and 1c.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a switch in which a dimmer 8 is added to the remote control switch, and a variable dimmer is driven by a drive control device 4' which is a dimmer drive control device added to the switch drive control device 4. A resistor is inserted in series with the switch device 2.

The variable resistor constitutes the light control device 8 so as to be driven in conjunction with a known drive mechanism such as a servo motor, and the drive control device 4
It is driven by the signal ', and the current to the lighting fixture 1 is increased or decreased depending on the change in the resistance value of the variable resistor. The transmitting device 7 and the receiving device 5 can use various known wireless communication devices such as transmitters and receivers using long waves, short waves, very short waves, or very short waves, and those using infrared rays. The device using this will not work if there is something between the transmitting device 7 and the receiving device 5 that blocks the light.

FIG. 6 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention, in which a remote control switch is provided for a pendant light.

That is, the receiving device 5 has a switch device 2. It is housed together with the light control device 8 and the drive control device 4', and is suspended from the rosette by a cord, and the light receiving element of the receiving device 5 is provided at the lower end of the base.

Further, the transmitting device 7 is integrated with the control panel 6 to form a handheld device so as to be portable, and a dimming dial of the dimming device 8 is provided in parallel with the operation switch of the control panel 6. The power source includes a built-in dry cell battery, etc.

Further, an infrared light emitting element of a transmitting device 7 is provided at the tip of the handheld device, and the signal infrared light from the infrared light emitting device is received by the light receiving element of the receiving device 5, and the pendant light is connected to the operation switch of the control panel B and the dimmer. Using the dimming dial 8, operations such as turning on, turning off, or adjusting the amount of light when turning on can be performed from a remote location.

As described above, according to the lighting equipment with a remote control switch of the present invention, there is no need to move the switch when turning on or off the lighting equipment, and the lighting equipment can be turned on or off from the hand. With what you have,
In particular, in the case of a wooden house, if the transmitter and receiver are constructed using relatively long-wavelength signals, lighting fixtures in other rooms can be turned on or off.

Furthermore, according to the method of the present invention, it is possible to control and adjust the current supplied to the lighting equipment, so the light intensity of the lit incandescent lamp can be changed and dimmed. The effects after implementing the present invention are extremely large.
