Push button switch device, radio transmitter and lighting control system

The present invention relates to a push button switch device, a radio transmitter having the push button switch device, and a lighting control system using the same.

In the past, there has been provided an operation terminal device that includes a plurality of switches, and transmits the information as an operation data according to a change in the state of pressing the switch or the like (refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-086577). )

The operation terminal device disclosed in Document 1 includes a printed circuit board and a casing of a rectangular box-shaped synthetic resin molded body in which the printed circuit board is housed.

Four switches composed of push button switches are mounted on the surface of the printed substrate. The housing has a cover and a body. The cover has a boss shape that forms a rear opening and protrudes from the front, and a handle that is integrally formed with the switch and that is integrally formed with the protrusion. In front of the projection, the hinge portion and the handle are integrally formed by the slit. The handle is formed so as to be rockable in the front-rear direction with the hinge portion as a fulcrum, and is disposed approximately opposite to a plurality of switches mounted on the printed circuit board.

An operation rib is protruded from a center portion of the handle provided at the back of the cover, and a rib for preventing press-fitting is formed at both end portions of the front side of the handle. The press-fitting rib is prevented from projecting approximately perpendicularly from the rear surface of the handle to the vicinity of the edge of the cover, and is reinforced by an approximately triangular reinforcing rib integrally formed with the handle.

The operation rib of the handle abuts against the front end of the operation portion of the switch of the printed circuit board. At this time, the handle is disposed approximately parallel to the printed substrate. Further, the front end portion of the press-fitting rib is prevented from being disposed approximately in the vicinity of the printed circuit board.

The handle of the push button switch is formed to be swayable in the front-rear direction with the hinge portion as a fulcrum. When the user presses the handle, the switch operation portion is pressed by the operating handle with the rib, and the push button switch is turned on. Next, when the handle is pressed further, the front end portion of the press-fitting rib is prevented from abutting against the printed circuit board, whereby the press-fitting of the handle can be restricted.

Further, the operation terminal device described in Document 1 is used for a remote monitoring system. In the remote monitoring system, a plurality of operation terminals for monitoring the operation state of the switch and a plurality of control terminals for controlling the load are connected by a 2-wire type signal line. Individual addresses are set for the operation terminal and the control terminal, and can be individually identified using the address.

In the switch described in Document 1, the handle is held by the button of the operation button rib against the button switch. Since the handle is tilted with the operation rib as a fulcrum depending on the position of the pressing handle, the part of the pressing rib is prevented from abutting against the printed circuit board, so that the handle is easily shaken.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a push button switch device, a radio transmitter, and a lighting control system that can improve operability.

Thus, the dimming lighting device 98 supplies the power supply voltage to the lighting load 96. That is, the illumination load 96 is configured to be turned on or off by a control signal generated by the control unit 91. The control unit of the dimming lighting device 98 performs phase control by driving the triac, and changes the conduction angle of the power supply voltage supplied to the illumination load 96 by the dimming lighting signal (DC voltage) from the control unit 91.

For example, when the pair of input terminals 981 receives the dimming lighting signal (DC voltage) at a dimming level lower than the current dimming level from the control unit 91 of the control device 9, the dimming lighting device 98 The control unit drives the bidirectional triode. Next, the dimming lighting device 98 sets the conduction angle of the AC voltage supplied to the illumination load 96 as the conduction angle of the corresponding dimming level.
