The figure is a perspective view of Example 4. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the switch changeover device.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cover plate 11 is provided with an insertion window 22 through which the handle 3 of the switch of the switch device 2 is inserted. A screw hole 7 for attaching the switch device 2 is provided so as to meet the standards of the switch device 2, and the switch device 2 is attached to the switch device 2 with screws 8.A switch changeover device 4 is attached to the cover plate 1, and the switch changeover device 4 is attached to the attachment/detachment device a and the attachment/detachment device. In Embodiment 1, the switch changeover device 4 is detachably attached to the switch changeover device 4, as shown in FIG. 2I. It is constructed by combining a gear section 10 and a motor 11 as shown in FIG.

The gear section 10 includes a pinion gear 12, a crown gear 13, a spur gear 14, and a fan gear 15. A terminal A is provided on the bottom surface of the switch changeover device 4.

The terminal A is connected to the motor 11, and when attached to the cover plate 1, it fits into and joins the terminal B on the cover plate l side, and the terminal B is further connected to the terminal C. The terminal C and the terminal gate are designed to fit and connect, that is, the terminal A and the terminal gate are configured to electrically connect the operating device 5 and the switch changeover device 4 in a detachable manner. . That is, the motor 11 is driven by the output signal from the operating device 5. Also the first
As shown in the figure, a switch changeover device 4 is detachably attached to the cover plate 1 by means of a detachable device a and a detachable device. The attachment/detachment device a and the attachment/detachment device form a pair, and when attaching, the claw 17 of the attachment/detachment device a is caught in the recess 18 of the attachment/detachment device so that it does not come off. When removing the attachment/detachment device, by pressing the button 19 of the attachment/detachment device a, the claw 17 is recessed and the attachment/detachment device is removed. Furthermore, the attachment/detachment device a and the attachment/detachment device 1 for the operating device 5 are similarly paired, and by pressing the button 19 of the attachment/detachment device a, the recess 18 of the attachment/detachment device 1 on the cover plate 1 can be pressed.
It is more removable. As shown in FIG. 3(C), the drive circuit 16 is mounted on a printed circuit board 20 housed inside the operating device 5, and its power is supplied from a battery 37 housed in a battery box 2. ing. The drive circuit 16 receives a signal from the remote controller 6 through the light receiving window 23 and is driven by the output of the optical signal processing circuit 24 . Further, the drive circuit 16 is connected to a direct drive switch 25 shown in FIG. It's like that. The remote controller 6 is a device for remotely controlling an operating device consisting of a compact resin case containing several key devices 26, a light emitting window 27, and a light emitting diode and circuit for transmitting data.

In the first embodiment, when an optical signal is emitted from the light emitting window 27 of the remote controller 6 toward the light receiving window 23, the optical signal is processed by the optical signal processing circuit 24.

The optical signal processing circuit 24 selects and sends a signal for turning the handle 3 of the switch to the ON or OFF state to the drive circuit 16 of the switch switching device @4. Second, only one switch changeover device δ4 is shown in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIG. It can be expanded, and can be positioned as desired by attaching/detaching device A and detaching device A according to the position of the handle 3 of the switch. Figure 9 shows that the switch handle 3 is 6.
Although the cover plate 1 and the switch changeover device 4 are used in the same place, they can be added in this way. At that time, the optical signal processing circuit 24 selects which switch switching device 4.
It is determined whether to distribute drive power through the drive circuit 16 to supply drive power to the motor.

In addition, when the optical signal processing circuit 24 sends a signal from the remote controller 6 to change the handle 3 of the switch from the OFF state to the ON state, the signal enters the optical signal processing circuit 24 through the light receiving window 23 and then turns the switch handle 3 into the OFF state. It is determined whether the signal is in the ON state or the ON state signal, and an operation signal is sent to the drive circuit 16 of the switch changeover device 4.

As shown in FIG. 4(a), first the handle 3 of the switch
is in the OFF state, the motor 11 rotates +IiA with the power from the drive circuit 16, and the pinion gear 12. Crown gear 13. Spur gear 14. The fan-shaped gear 15 is rotated through this. The fan-shaped gear 15 is arranged so that its rotation axis 28 corresponds to the rotation direction of the switch handle 3 and is in close contact with the switch handle 3 as shown in FIG. When voltage is applied to terminal A as shown in FIG.
The lever is placed on the protrusion 29 of the gear, and as shown in Figure 5 (al), once the switch handle 3 is in the OFF state, the motor 1 is turned so that it will not rotate to the opposite voltage.
However, if the voltage is applied as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the diode G is installed so that the current flows, so the switch handle 3 can be turned in the ON direction. When current is applied to the motor 11 as shown in FIG. 5(a), the fan-shaped gear 1 also rotates, and the microswitch F is switched from the protrusion 29 of the fan-shaped gear 15 as shown in FIG. 4(b). When the handle 3 is turned ON/OFF, the fan-shaped gear 15
The lever of the microswitch F was arranged to be pressed so that the rotation of the microswitch F was stopped, and a diode H was provided so that a current was applied at that time. The circuit diagram at that time is shown in Figure 5 (1)
). If you want to simultaneously move the switch knob 3 from ON to OFF, follow the reverse process of the current explanation.

Note that the technical scope of the present invention also applies to a structure in which a timer circuit is provided in the drive circuit as a means for braking the motor, and the motor is operated only for a sufficient period of time for the handle to rotate sufficiently. However, in terms of reducing power consumption and simplifying the structure, the one using the principle of the first embodiment is much better.

Note that the cover plate, the operating device, and the switching device may be integrated, or the operating device may be separated from the cover plate and the switching device and connected with a cord, and the switching device may be operated from there.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a switch switching device for switching a handle of a switch of a switching device is used, and an operating device for operating the switch switching device; 't is 1.
The operating device can be operated remotely from the remote control unit, so you can change the switch from a distance.

Furthermore, since the operating device and switch switching device are removable, it can be easily removed and used as a normal switch. Further, since the positions of the screw holes of this cover plate are the same as those of commercially available cover plates, it can be easily attached and detached using two screws even without any construction experience.

Furthermore, this device has the advantage of being safe because it does not directly use a household AC 100V power source.

[Example 2] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the second embodiment in use.

In this embodiment, the cover plate 1 and the switch changeover device 4 have the same form, but the optical signal processing circuit 24 and the remote control section 6 of the operating device 5 are omitted, and the sensor section 30 and the drive circuit 16 are used instead. . The sensing section 30 has a lead wire 31 directly connected to the drive circuit 16 . In the present invention, the sensing section 30 consists of a microswitch and a device 32 attached to a door frame 33, and sends a signal 8 to the drive circuit 16 when the door 34 is opened or closed.

With this structure, when the door is opened (the door is opened), this switch control device is activated, turning on the switch and turning on the interior lights and toilet lamps. Next, when I opened another door, the interior lights and lamps went out. Since the lights are automatically turned on and off as the door opens and closes, there is no need to forget to turn on the lights, which has the advantage of eliminating unnecessary electricity consumption.

Note that the technical scope of the present invention also includes a method of detecting the opening and closing of a door by using a magnet.

[Example 3] FIG. 7 is a partially cutaway perspective view of Example 3. In this embodiment as well, the form of the cover plate 1 and the switch changeover device 4 are the same, but the operation device 5 does not include the optical signal processing circuit 24 and the remote control unit 6, and the operating device 5 uses a light beam that detects the human body based on changes in the amount of light received. It is composed of a detection section 35 and a drive circuit I6. The effect is that when a person approaches this switch control device and a change occurs in the light receiving section 11, the light detecting section 3
5 detects through the light receiving window 2-3 and sends a signal to the drive circuit 16 to activate the switch changeover device 4, ON as in the first embodiment). 2. o7□Eyao□1o0. . I□U. =!
