Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a remote controllable light switch and a light switch system,

The present invention relates to a remotely controllable light switch and a light switch system, and more particularly to a remotely controllable light switch and light switch system which does not require additional electrical wiring or a battery for power supply while replacing a conventional wall- will be.

Generally, lighting devices such as electric lamps and fluorescent lamps are mostly on / off methods by manual operation of switches.

In other words, electric lamps are installed in various places such as living rooms, restrooms and the like in homes, and mechanical switches for lighting control each of the lamps are installed on the wall.

In order to turn on or off a specific light installed in a home, a user must operate a mechanical switch installed on the wall to turn on or off the corresponding light. In this way, most of the ordinary light switches are installed on the wall surface in a buried state, and in order to turn on or off a specific lamp, the user has to move to the wall surface to operate the mechanical switch.

In particular, in the case of a bedroom, a user has to move to a place where a switch is installed on a wall in order to go to bed, turn off the light by pressing a switch, and return to the bed again.

In order to solve the above-mentioned troublesomeness of use, recently, some devices capable of remotely controlling the operation of turning on or off the illumination devices in the home have been provided.

In the conventional remote control method, a wireless controller is separately installed in a switch box of a lamp to electronically remotely control the lamp on / off. At this time, only the wiring for connecting the switch is present in the mounting portion of the buried switch on the wall, and when the switch is in the OFF state, the circuit is opened and the power is not supplied, An additional electric power supply using a battery or the like is required in order to supply electric power for driving the electric motor.
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0110872 discloses a technology for remotely controlling illumination using a smartphone and a personal computer. However, this technology can be applied to a lighting switch device through the IEEE 802.3af standard (PoE) As a result, the utp cable must be connected to the lighting switch device.

Such a conventional remote control system for a lamp requires a separate electric wiring work or a system construction of an electric facility, so that there is a problem that a consumer can not install the electric lamp directly and has to refer to a specialist. In other words, in order to construct the remote control of the electric lamp, it is necessary to ask the specialist to get help, so that the installation cost is increased and the cost burden to commercialization in the home is greatly increased due to the increase of the construction cost.

Even in the case of a remote control system using a battery or the like without a separate electric wiring, it does not operate when a discharge of a battery or the like occurs, and it is troublesome to periodically replace the battery or the like.

1 (A), a conventional lighting apparatus using a wall-mounted type lighting switch mainly comprises a lighting unit 30 located on a ceiling, a switch 20 located near a room entrance, and a power distribution board And a 220V power supply 40 for supplying power.

1 (B) is a diagram showing the connection state of the light 30, the 220 V power supply 40, and the switch 20 in Fig. 1 (A).

Referring to FIG. 1B, the lighting 30, the 220V power supply 40 and the switch 20 are connected in series, and when the switch 20 is opened or closed, / OFF (ON / OFF), and lighting and lighting of the illumination are controlled.

When a wireless controller is installed to remotely control the switch 20 in such a structure, a power source for operating the wireless controller must be secured. At this time, when the switch 20 is closed and the light 30 is ON, the 220V power supply 40 can supply additional power. However, when the switch 20 is opened and the light 30 is turned off ) State, current can not flow through the circuit, and thus power can not be supplied.

In order to solve this problem, there is a method in which a separate power line is provided or a device is installed in the ceiling light 30 to draw out electric power. However, there is an inconvenience that additional electric wiring is required.

 Alternatively, the battery may be provided in the wireless controller. However, when the battery is discharged, it is difficult to secure the power source, and it is troublesome to replace the battery.

2 is a block diagram schematically showing an internal configuration of a lighting switch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the lighting switch 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a switch unit 100 for turning on / off a power supplied to an illumination; A switch control unit 200 receiving a control signal through wireless communication and controlling the operation of the switch unit 100; An ON power take-out unit 300 for taking out electric power from an AC power supplied when the switch unit 100 is ON; An OFF power take-off unit 400 for receiving a fine current and drawing power when the switch unit 100 is OFF; And a DC power source 500 for converting the power drawn from the ON power take-off unit 300 and the OFF power take-out unit 400 into a DC current.

The switch unit 100 controls turning on and off of the illumination by turning on / off the power supply to the illumination as in the conventional switch. The switch unit 100 may be operated by physically moving a contact point, such as a general switch, or may be operated by receiving an electric signal such as a semiconductor relay. Any type of switch can be used if ON / OFF control of the illumination is possible, but preferably the switch can also be operated by direct manipulation of the user.

The switch control unit 200 receives a control signal through wireless communication and controls the operation of the switch unit 100. For this, a switch control unit 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a module for wireless communication, and a wireless communication method for receiving a control signal may be WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee ), Infrared (IR) communication, and the like.

The switch control unit 200 receives an electrical communication signal and controls the operation of the switch unit 100.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the switch unit 100 is in the OFF state, the switch unit 100 is in the open state, and 220 V is applied to both ends of the switch unit 100. At this time, the OFF power take-off unit 400 draws power by using a voltage of 220V applied to both ends of the switch unit 100. [ At this time, even when the switch unit 100 is in the OFF state, the OFF power take-out unit 400 draws electric power, so that a weak current flows in the light 30. The OFF power take-out unit 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured such that only a minute current which is not visible even when the illumination 30 is not turned on or turned on because the threshold current of the illumination 30 is lower than the threshold current of the illumination 30, Allowing a minute current to flow, and using this to draw power. Preferably, the microcurrent is less than or equal to 10% of the allowable current of the illumination (30), and more preferably, the microcurrent is less than or equal to 5% of the allowable current of the illumination (30).

The DC power source 500 converts the AC power drawn from the ON power take-off unit 300 and the OFF power take-out unit 400 into a DC current through a switching mode power supply (SMPS) And supplies it to the control unit 200. Since the ON power take-off unit 300 and the OFF power take-out unit 400 selectively operate according to the state of the switch unit 100, the DC power source unit 500 can be connected to the ON power take- OFF power take-off unit 400 to receive power.

The DC power supply unit 500 switches the drawn-out power to DC power required for driving the switch control unit 200, and smoothens the DC power so that stable power supply can be performed.
