Smart contactless switch

This creation is a kind of switch, especially a smart non-contact switch.

Viruses and bacteria exist in the human living environment. Once human hands touch human or harmful microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria, they are not only easy to enter the human body through the nose and mouth, but also may become scattered because they touch other objects again. Dial the virus and the medium of bacteria. Although most of the viruses and bacteria in the hands can be removed through the cleaning or disinfecting step, once the public equipment, such as the light switch or the elevator switch of the public toilet, is touched again, it is difficult to ensure that there are residual viruses or bacteria on the surface. Therefore, in order to curb the spread of diseases in this way, non-contact switches are born.

According to the detection method, the conventional non-contact switch can be roughly divided into the following types, including infrared type, capacitive type, ultrasonic type and temperature sensing type, each of which has unique advantages and disadvantages and can be applied to different ones. In the environment of use. However, despite the raging flu of human society in recent years, the demand for public health has become increasingly urgent. However, with the exception of a few private buildings and certain electronic devices, no contactless switches have been found in public places.

The reason is that the conventional non-contact switch only focuses on achieving the goal of "non-contact", but does not consider the mutual replacement between the conventional contact switch (as shown in Figure 1). It is not possible to directly replace the existing contact switch with a non-contact type, and indirectly cause difficulty in the popularity of the non-contact switch.

Furthermore, in addition to the problems encountered by the existing non-contact switches mentioned above, with the evolution of the times, the application fields of non-contact switches will become more and more extensive, for example, non-contact switches and the Internet of Things (Internet of Things).

The detection module is disposed in the fixed body, and detects the light intensity at the opening every other first time interval. When the difference in the intensity of the light detected twice is greater than a predetermined value, The detection of the light intensity is stopped and the reaction signal is generated until the detection is resumed after the second time; and the control module is electrically connected to an AC circuit, which controls the path state and the open state of the AC circuit according to the aforementioned reaction signal. .

The present invention also proposes a smart non-contact switch suitable for a fixed seat body having an opening and embedded in a wall surface.
