Abstract

A signal conversion control device includes: a main control board having a signal input part, a signal output part, and a mode switching switch. The main control board is locked inside a housing with a plurality of screws, and the signal input part is electrically connected to any one of a sensor or a switch through a wire. After the signal input part converts the input initial signal into an integrated signal through the main control board, it can be electrically connected to a DALI bus again through the signal output part for transmission, so that the DALI system can more efficiently control general sensors or switches.

Description

Signal conversion control device

This new device is a signal conversion control device, especially a device that can convert the signal of an external input device into a signal of a DALI-2 system for its application.

With the continuous progress and development of science and technology, the lighting systems used in daily life are also gradually changing. Therefore, a digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) has been developed. The DALI system is a standard for lighting control systems. The DALI system is characterized by the ability to assign a dedicated digital address to each lamp, making it easier to construct and maintain the lighting system. However, the current version 1 of the DALI system can control lamps by assigning them to groups, but requires detailed and complex settings for each lamp in advance, and is limited to the coordination of related control devices, so there are still many inconveniences in actual use. The current DALI-2 system has updated the support for application controllers and input devices (such as sensors), and of course there are many items and minor updates, which also means that the support for control and integrated signals will be richer.

Among the products currently on the market, although some companies have launched corresponding converters, there are problems in use, such as they can only be connected to standard buttons or switches, and can only be used in related modes. The support for existing sensors is not perfect. Therefore, how to more effectively convert additional information and apply it to the DALI system and simplify the complicated settings is a problem that the industry urgently needs to solve.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a signal conversion control device, wherein a main control board having a signal input part, a signal output part, and a mode switch is provided. The main control board is fixed to the inside of the housing with a plurality of screws, and the mode switch can be switched on and off manually; and the signal input part is electrically connected to either the sensor or the switch through a wire. When the signal input part converts the input initial signal into an integrated signal through the main control board, it can be electrically connected to a DALI bus again through the signal output part for transmission. When the aforementioned signal input part is connected to the sensor and the switch, only one of the two can be selected, and they cannot be connected at the same time.

Compared with the conventional solution, the new structure can convert the signals of common types of sensors and switches on the market into integrated signals through the signal input part of the main control board, and then transmit them through the connected DALI bus, so as to integrate more types of sensors and switches for control applications, solving the problem of poor support in use.

Generally, according to the best feasible embodiment of the present invention, and in conjunction with the detailed description of Figures 1 to 5, the present invention is a signal conversion control device, which includes: a main control board (10), which has a signal input part (20), a signal output part (30), and a mode switching switch (40). The main control board (10) is locked inside a housing (50) with a plurality of screws (53), and the signal input part (20) is electrically connected to a sensor (51) or a switch (52) through a wire. The wire diagram is not drawn here because such wires are known to people of ordinary skill in the art.

When the signal input part (20) is electrically connected with the sensor (51), the sensor (51) can be a general sensor or a standard industrial control sensor. The sensor (51) can also be driven by a 24V or 48V power supply. When the signal input part (20) is electrically connected with the switch (52), the switch (52) can be connected to a maximum of four groups of standard specifications, as shown in FIG. 5, SWITCH-1, SWITCH-2, SWITCH-3, and SWITCH-4. The marking is only for understanding the connection position connected to the signal input part (20), so it is no longer given a separate code; and the aforementioned switch (52) is not limited to Limited to standard specifications of mechanical switches, electronic switches, including button-type, and even other touch-type... types, the power supply of the switch (52) can be directly provided through the DALI bus (60), and the signal input part (20) is also equipped with an additional connection to provide power. When the aforementioned sensor (51) and the switch (52) are connected to the signal input part (20), only one of the two can be selected, and they cannot be connected at the same time; and when the signal input part (20) converts an initial signal (21) into an integrated signal (31) through the main control board (10), it can be electrically connected to a DALI bus (60) again through the signal output part (30) for transmission.

In summary, the novel signal conversion control device can convert the signals of common types of sensors and switches on the market into integrated signals (31) through the signal input part (20) in the main control board (10) with the initial signal (21) and then transmit the signals to the relevant DALI system host through the DALI bus (60) connected to the signal output part (30), so that sensors and switches of different signal sources can be integrated into the DALI system for control applications, thereby being compatible with existing equipment and reducing the capital requirements for equipment updates.
