Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a controller for sharing a driving voltage supply line and a communication line,

The present invention relates to a control device sharing a communication line with a driving voltage supply line, and more particularly, to a control device that receives driving voltage through a voltage supply line connected to a predetermined electric device, Quot; control device sharing a communication line with a driving voltage supply line "

In manufacturing and installing and using electric devices and control devices connected thereto, it is general that electric devices and control devices are provided with respective independent and independent electric power and communication lines for mutual communication (refer to Patent Application No. 10- 2005-0073780, entitled "Power Device Wire Communication Control Device")

For example, assume that an electric machine A is supplied with an AC voltage of 220 V through an electric wiring and operates with the driving voltage. In the case of a controller that controls the electric machine A in conjunction with the electric machine A, A separate communication line (2 lines) shall be provided for controlling the communication between the A electrical equipment and the control unit, as well as the use of the AC voltage separately or incorporating an independent DC voltage source.

Therefore, when the A electric device and the control device for controlling it are interlocked, at least four electric wires are required for the control device apart from the A electric device.

That is, a two-wire communication line and two-wire (or three-wire: ground line) driving voltage lines are required.

Particularly, when an electric device is installed in an assembly building such as a building, an office or an apartment, and a control device for controlling the electric device is to be installed together with a building or the like, it is inconvenient for the operator to connect the driving voltage line and the communication line separately. There is a problem that the economic burden due to the individual installation work and the additional input of the materials is transferred to those who purchase it.

That is, in the case of electric apparatuses and control apparatuses that are mutually controlled by the existing wire communication method, each of the apparatuses must have a built-in rectifying circuit, a smoothing circuit, and a voltage regulator, which convert AC voltage to DC voltage, The communication IC and the peripheral circuit for the communication are also designed on both sides.

Therefore, a power supply line of two lines and a communication line of two lines or more are required, which increases the cost of the communication equipment and increases construction cost due to construction.

Hereinafter, the technical idea of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a functional block diagram for explaining a technical concept of a control device sharing a communication line with a driving voltage supply line proposed in the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises an electric device and a control device 2 interlocked with the electric device.

In FIG. 1, it is preferable to interpret electric apparatuses as a comprehensive concept including all kinds of operating electric apparatuses supplied with 220V AC voltage supplied from KEPCO, which is a power supply company. However, in the present invention, A display unit, an outlet, and the like will be described as an example.

In FIG. 1, a voltage converter refers to a device that converts an AC voltage supplied through an outlet to a predetermined DC voltage, and includes all kinds of voltage converters that can be manufactured by those skilled in the art related to electromagnetic manufacturing. The voltage converter generates a driving voltage supplied to the control device 2, as will be described later.

Next, the control device 1 refers to a device including a microprocessor or the like capable of controlling an electric device, and may be manufactured by the same or similar device as the control device 2 described later.

Next, the display unit may include a predetermined display or a light emitting diode to show the operation state of the electric apparatus.

Finally, the outlet is connected to an outlet of another electrical appliance, such as audio, refrigerator, computer, copier, etc., and serves to supply the AC voltage to these appliances.

For reference, the electrical apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is an illustrative example, and the function of the battery apparatus controlled by the control apparatus 2 described later may be variously changed.

The electrical apparatus described above is connected to the controller 2 through the first and second wires CNT1 and CNT2 as shown in the figure.

The first and second wires CNT1 and CNT2 are drive voltage supply lines for supplying a predetermined DC voltage generated by the voltage converter to the control device 2, and the drive voltage thus supplied is used as the drive voltage of the control device 2. [

Hereinafter, a control device (control device 2) sharing a driving voltage supply line and a communication line, which is a technical concept of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is an embodiment of a control device sharing a communication line with a driving voltage supply line proposed in the present invention. The circuit diagram of FIG. 2 is only an embodiment of the present invention, and even if a part of the circuit configuration is changed by a person skilled in the art, any technical ideas described below should be interpreted as a matter to be protected by the present invention.

2, the control apparatus (control apparatus 2) according to the present invention includes first and second electric wires CNT1 and CNT2, a receiving unit 110, a transmitting unit 120, a controller 130, a signal input unit 140, and a constant voltage generating unit 150.

The DC voltage generated by the voltage converter of the electric device is supplied to the control device 2 through the first and second electric wires CNT1 and CNT2.

That is, a high level voltage of a predetermined level is supplied from the voltage converter of the electric device to the control device as the first electric wire CNT1. A ground level voltage is supplied from the voltage converter of the electric device to the control device as the second electric wire CNT2.

The high level voltage supplied to the first wire CNT1 causes a predetermined voltage drop in the resistor R1 at the node N1 and then the first voltage V is supplied to the constant voltage generator 150, (150) generates a second voltage (V) which is a drive voltage for operating the remaining components of the control device (2). For reference, the voltage level of + V is higher than the voltage level of V.

The capacitor C2 of the constant voltage generator 150 performs the function of charging the voltage and the capacitor C2 can operate normally even when the first wire CNT1 is down to the ground level To be performed.

Next, the receiving unit 110 receives a predetermined high level voltage input through the first wire CNT1 to remove noise, etc., and applies a predetermined voltage to the controller 130 (MCU) ) Can recognize the normal operation of the electric device.

Next, the signal input unit 140 performs a function of inputting a predetermined signal to the control unit 140 as a switching unit.

As shown in the drawing, when the switch SW1 is turned on, the ground level voltage is applied to the controller 130. In this case, the controller 130 recognizes that the switch SW1 is turned on and then outputs a predetermined signal And supplies the generated pulse signal to the transmitter 120. [

The predetermined pulse signal output through the transmitter 120 is applied to the pull-down transistor Q1 connected between the predetermined node N1 of the first wire CNT1 and a predetermined node N2 of the second wire CNT2, .

When the pull-down transistor Q1 is turned on, the voltage of the node N1 becomes the ground level voltage which is the voltage level of the node N2. When the pull-down transistor Q1 is turned off, the node N1 outputs a predetermined high level voltage .

Therefore, when the switch SW1 of the signal input unit 140 is selected and turned on and the ground level voltage is supplied to the controller 130, when the corresponding signal input unit 140 is selected, the controller 130 outputs a predetermined pulse signal corresponding thereto And transmits it to the transmission unit 120. The transmission unit 120 turns on / off the pull-down transistor Q1 in response to the pulse signal.

As the pull-down transistor Q1 is turned on or off, the voltage level of the first wire CNT1 is changed to the ground level or the high level.

In the present invention, the voltage level change of the first electric wire CNT1 is recognized by the control device 1 of the electric device, and the control device 1 cuts off the electric power supplied to the electric appliance or the like connected to the outlet, And to shut off its own stand-by power when it is not in a standby state, and it can be variously changed in design according to the function of the control device 1.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

3 is a view for explaining the operation of the control device 2 shown in Fig.

3, when the switch SW1 is turned on, the voltage applied from the signal input unit 140 to the control unit 130 goes down to the ground level voltage, and the controller 130 correspondingly outputs a predetermined pulse signal to the TX terminal of the transmission unit 120 So that the pull-down transistor Q1 changes the voltage level of the node N1 as shown in the drawing while turning on / off the pull-down transistor in response.

Accordingly, the voltage level of the first wire CNT1 is changed to a predetermined pulse signal, and the control device 1 of the electric device recognizes it and can perform a predetermined function by itself.

In other words, when the technical idea of the present invention is used, it can be seen that the control device 2 can utilize a communication line for controlling the electric device, using the driving voltage supply line provided to the control device 2 in the electric device.

For reference, even when the first electric wire CNT1 is down to the ground level voltage, the internal supply voltage V of the control device 2 is stably supplied by the voltage charged by the capacitor C2 of the constant voltage generating part 150 The control device 2 can stably operate.

As described above, the technical idea of the present invention is that the driving voltage supply line provided to the control device 2 in the electric device can be utilized as a communication line for transmitting a communication signal, which is a predetermined control signal provided to the electric device in the control device 2 It is to be understood that this technical idea is intended to protect all kinds of control devices 2 that are judged to perform the same function within the scope of protection described in the claims, despite the partial modification or replacement of the circuit configuration.
