Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for adjusting the brightness of a lamp, and in particular to such a brightness setting device in which dimming of a lamp can be carried out by actuating an actuation detection device, for example a button or a touch sensor.
- an actuation detection device for example a button or a touch sensor.
- dim lamps which contain illuminants, not via a potentiometer, but via an actuation time window, which is generated by the actuation of a button or a touch sensor. adjust in brightness and / or switch.
- an actuation time window can be used, for example, for electronic transformers for low-voltage lamps, dimmers for mains voltage lamps, e.g. Incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, mercury vapor lamps, etc., or electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps can be controlled.
- a circuit arrangement for controlling the brightness of a lamp by touching a sensor is described for example in DE 3736222 C2.
- a control circuit which makes it possible to use part of the lamp housing itself as a touch sensor is disclosed in DE 19628891 Cl and in DE magazine “Funk-Technik", volume 37, volume 5, 1982, page 192.
- a further circuit arrangement for switching on and off and for dimming a lamp which contains an oscillator circuit is described in US Pat. No. 4,701,676.
- the electronics distinguish between a short actuation period and a long actuation period.
- An actuation usually applies duration from 100 ms to 400 ms as a short actuation, while an actuation duration of more than 400 ms is considered a long actuation. Operating times below 100 ms are assessed as noise blanking and are therefore ignored.
- the electronics usually respond to a short actuation period below 400 ms to switch the lamp on or off.
- a long actuation period is generally used to dim the illuminant, ie to adjust the brightness thereof until the desired brightness level is reached.
- the first variant is continuous dimming, in which as long as a user actuates the touch sensor or the button, the brightness is continuously changed in small steps that are not visible to the eye. In conventional brightness controls, this is at least 64 steps per network half-wave, preferably 128 steps per network half-wave.
- the second variant is a step-by-step dimming, in which three or four brightness levels are fixed.
- the electronics switch one step each time they are pressed, i.e. here a short press is not used to switch on and off.
- a sequence is always predetermined, for example: Off - minimum brightness - medium brightness - maximum brightness - Off, for three specified brightness levels.
- FIGS. 5a) and 5b Controlling the brightness of a lamp by continuous dimming is shown in FIGS. 5a) and 5b), FIG. 5a) showing the detection signal that is generated when the sensor, ie the touch sensor or the button, is actuated while in Figure 5b) resulting brightness of the lamp is shown.
- the reference numeral 4 in FIG. 5a) denotes an actuation of the sensor, which leads to a dimming 6 of the illuminant to a desired brightness I.
- switching on by a brief actuation 2 results in the lamp being set to its maximum brightness I ax eLn_ .
- This known continuous dimming is advantageous in that at least 64 brightness levels, preferably 128 brightness levels, can be set by operating the sensor for a period of more than 400 ms. Furthermore, the illuminant can be switched on and off by briefly pressing it for less than 400 ms. Furthermore, with this continuous dimmer control, it is unproblematic if the desired brightness value is exceeded when setting the brightness, since the dimming direction is reversed by briefly releasing the actuation detection device takes place, so that the desired brightness value can be achieved by a further corresponding actuation of the actuation detection device.
- a disadvantage of continuous dimming is that the exact same brightness as the day before can only be set again with an additional memory module.
- 6a) and 6b) schematically illustrate a known method for sudden dimming.
- a sequence is run through in each case, a step being advanced by briefly actuating the sensor.
- the illuminant is set to the first brightness level 22, with a second short actuation 24 to the second brightness level 26, with a third short actuation 28 to the third brightness level 30 and with a fourth short actuation 32 to the maximum brightness I max .
- the advantage of this method is that it is easy to reconstruct the same brightness moods, the exact same brightness as the day before can be set again without an additional memory chip. After the maximum brightness I max has been reached, a further brief actuation of the sensor 34 results in the lamp being switched off.
- this step-by-step dimming accidentally sets too high a brightness, which lies above a desired brightness I ⁇ nsch, which is caused, for example, by brief actuation 36 of the sensor, the entire sequence must be run through again by briefly actuating the sensor several times , see actuations 38 in FIG. 6a) in order to achieve the desired intensity.
- the sensor To do that To switch off the light source, which is operated at the brightness Iamsch, the sensor has to be operated twice briefly 40 and 42, the light source being initially set to the maximum brightness I max by the operation 40 and subsequently switched off by the operation 42.
- This represents a further disadvantage of this sudden dimming as becomes particularly clear when the illuminant, which is operated at the lowest brightness level 22, is to be switched off, four short actuations 44 of the sensor being necessary for this.
- Elektor, 7-8 (1994), page 119 discloses a possibility of switching between different initial operating states of a CMOS dimmer after it has been switched on again using jumpers. If the sensor of the CMOS dimmer is operated for a period of less than 400 ms, the lamp is switched on / off, while at pressing the dimming cycle for a longer time begins.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for adjusting the brightness of a lamp, which provides a high degree of flexibility with regard to the brightness setting.
- the present invention provides a device for adjusting the brightness of a lamp, having the following features:
- actuation detection means for generating a detection signal while a user operates the actuation detection means
- a brightness control device which has a plurality of different lamp setting modes, for controlling the brightness of the lamp
- a switching device for switching between the plurality of lamp setting modes in response to a course of the detection signal, which can be generated in a predetermined manner by actuation of the actuation detection device by a user.
- the illuminant setting modes can be divided into groups, it being possible to switch to the illuminant setting modes in the groups independently of one another.
- a first group can have different dimming modes
- a second group can have different modes with regard to the relationship between switching on / off and dimming the illuminant
- a third group can define different initial operating states of the illuminant after it has been switched on again.
- the switchover device preferably switches between different illuminant setting modes as a function of the actuation time of the actuation detection device, ie the duration of the detection signal.
- One or more time axes subdivided into time windows can be provided, respective time windows being assigned respective illuminant setting modes. If an uninterrupted duration of a detection signal ends in one of the time windows, the switching device switches over to the lamp setting mode assigned to this time window.
- the present invention provides a device for adjusting the brightness of a lamp, which has an actuation detection device for generating a detection signal while a user actuates the actuation detection device.
- a first brightness control device for continuously changing the brightness of the illuminant in response to the detection signal and a second brightness control device for abruptly changing the brightness of the illuminant in response to the detection signal are provided.
- the brightness adjustment device further includes a switching device for switching between the first and the second brightness control device in response to a course of the detection signal, which can be generated by an actuation of the actuation detection device in a predetermined manner by a user.
- the sudden dimming caused by the second brightness control device is preferably adapted to the continuous dimming caused by the first brightness control device such that the same time window applies to both variants.
- a short actuation of the actuation detection device in each case results in the switching on or off of the illuminant
- a long actuation of the sensor either changes the brightness of the illuminant continuously, ie continuously Dimming, or an abrupt change in the brightness, ie an abrupt dimming, of the illuminant results, depending on the position of the switching device.
- An actuation up to 400 ms is preferably considered to be short, while an actuation over 400 ms is considered to be long.
- the switching device preferably has a device for detecting the uninterrupted duration of the detection signal, the switching device switching between the brightness control devices when the uninterrupted duration of the detection signal exceeds a predetermined first time period.
- This predetermined first time period is preferably 7 s, which is twice the time required to run through the entire brightness range of the illuminant, either from dark to light or from light to dark, which is a time of 3.5 s, for example Takes up.
- touch sensors for example those in which a part of the lamp in which the illuminant is mounted acts as a sensor, or push-button switches, i.e. Button, for use.
- the present invention thus creates a flexible brightness adjustment device which can be switched over between different illuminant adjustment modes, for example an abrupt and a continuous dimming or different modes of abrupt dimming, which differ with regard to the number of stages.
- a buyer does not have to decide for one or the other lamp setting mode when buying, but can at any time choose the lamp setting mode that is favorable for him, for example the most favorable type of dimming. This decision can be revised at any time, whereby there is no tool for the change and no jumpers or additional switches are necessary are.
- the harmonization of the variants in the activity means that the buyer does not always have to get used to it.
- the present invention also creates advantages for the seller, since it enables easy storage, since only one device that enables different lamp setting modes, for example continuous and sudden dimming, has to be offered.
- Figure 1 is a rough schematic representation of an embodiment of a brightness adjustment device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2a a detection signal curve and FIG. 2b) the brightness setting thereby effected by a sudden dimming, to illustrate the adaptation of the sudden dimming to the constant dimming, as is used in exemplary embodiments of the invention
- FIG. 3a a detection signal curve and FIG. 3b) the corresponding setting of the brightness of the illuminant to illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a timeline arrangement in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- An actuation detection device 50 which can be a touch sensor or a button, is attached to a lamp (not shown in FIG. 1).
- the touch sensor can be an electrically conductive part of the lamp itself, as described in German patent DE 19628891.
- the actuation detection device 50 is connected to a switching device 52, which receives a detection signal from the detection device 50 whenever it is actuated, for example, by the finger 53 of a user.
- the switchover device evaluates the detection signal and, in response to a specific course of the detection signal, switches to a first brightness control device 54 or a second brightness control device 56 Taxes.
- the illuminant can be any known illuminant, for example a low-voltage lamp, mains voltage lamps, such as, for example, incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, mercury vapor lamps, etc., or a fluorescent lamp.
- the switching device 52 and the brightness control devices 54 and 56 can be implemented separately from one another in software or hardware terms or combined.
- the brightness control device 54 preferably operates essentially as described above with reference to FIGS. 5a) and 5b).
- the mode of operation of the second brightness control device 56 is preferably adapted to that of the first brightness control device 54, such that the same time window applies to both variants. This is explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 2a) and 2b).
- 2a) corresponds to 5a) and shows the same detection waveform, which is caused by actuation of the actuation detection device 50 by a user.
- 2b) shows the corresponding brightness curve generated by the second brightness control device 56, which effects a sudden dimming.
- a brief actuation of the actuation detection device causes the illuminant to be switched on 60 and 62 switched off.
- a short actuation period is understood to be an actuation of up to 400 ms.
- the duration of the actuation determining the number of steps by which the brightness is changed. For example, after an actuation period of one second each, the brightness can be changed by one stage, so that the actuation 4 results in a change in the brightness by two stages 64 and 66.
- the long actuation 8 of the actuation detection device results in a change in the brightness by three levels 68, 70 and 72.
- the dimming direction is reversed, so that actuation 14 of the actuation detection device increases the brightness of the lamp by a step 74 results.
- the release that follows after actuation 14 in turn causes a reversal of the dimming direction, so that the actuation 16 reduces the brightness by a step 76.
- the lowest brightness is reached, so that if the actuation 16 is continued after a predetermined period of time, for example 1 s, the brightness of the illuminant is increased by a level 78.
- both the brightness control device for continuous dimming and the brightness control device for sudden dimming operate according to analog principles, that is to say when the button is briefly activated, it is switched on or off. switches, while continuous or step-by-step dimming is carried out when pressed for a long time.
- 3a) shows a detection signal as generated by the actuation detection device 50.
- 3b) shows the course of the brightness as it is generated by an embodiment of the adjusting device according to the invention. It is assumed that the switching device 52 has initially switched to the first brightness control device for continuous dimming.
- 3a) shows a detection signal 80 of long duration, then two short detection signals 82 and 84, and then again a detection signal of long duration 86.
- the high-level detection signals are each effected by actuating the actuation detection device, that is to say, for example, the touch sensor.
- the brightness control device for continuous dimming effects a brightness control as shown at 88 in FIG.
- the brightness range of the illuminant is first run through completely in an increasing and then decreasing manner, as is also the case in a conventional control circuit for continuously dimming the would be the case.
- the brightness is first increased to the maximum brightness value I max and subsequently reduced to zero again.
- a switch is made from the steady mode to the step mode after a predetermined period of time.
- This time period is designated as T in FIG. 3a) and is preferably at least twice as long as the time period required to run through the entire brightness range of the illuminant once, ie from dark to light or from light to dark.
- the length of time for the Brightness change from dark to light or from light to dark with continuous operation can preferably be about 3.5 s. It is therefore advantageous to set the time period after which the switching device switches between the brightness control devices in accordance with preferred exemplary embodiments to approximately 7 s or somewhat longer.
- the switching device 52 switches from the steady mode to the step mode after the time period T, as indicated by the reference symbol 90. Since the detection signal 80 continues beyond the time period T, the brightness control device 56 increases the brightness by a step 92 for sudden dimming, as was explained above with reference to FIG. 2b). The short actuation 82 then causes the lamp to be switched off, whereupon the short actuation 84 switches it on again. During the period T of the detection signal 86, the brightness of the illuminant is suddenly controlled in the manner as explained above with reference to FIG. 2b). After the time period T has elapsed, the switching device 52 again switches between the brightness control devices 54 and 56, as shown by the reference symbol 94 in FIG.
- the switching between the dim modes takes place after the actuation detection device has been actuated continuously for a specific period of time, regardless of the brightness with which the illuminant was operated at the beginning of the continuous actuation.
- the brightness adjustment device has been described with reference to FIG. 3, which has a basic setting in which the continuous dimming mode is initially set when it is first switched on or connected to the mains, it is clear that the brightness adjustment device can also have a basic setting in which the brightness setting device is set to a sudden dimming mode in the cases mentioned.
- the illuminant after being switched on by the brief actuation 84, the illuminant is operated again with the brightness with which it was operated at the time of switching off 82.
- the brightness of the illuminant can be controlled in any way after switching on, for example immediately to the highest brightness value I jr ⁇ ax or to the lowest brightness value.
- the operating mode is set to constant dimming, the brightness of the lamp can be controlled to any value when the lamp is switched on.
- an additional non-volatile memory is required if a brightness that was last set when the device was disconnected from the network is to be automatically reset after switching on.
- the switching between the brightness control devices takes place after a predetermined uninterrupted duration of the detection signal.
- a switchover can also take place when another specific signal curve of the detection signal is detected, for example when a plurality of very short operations occur within a predetermined time. For example, this could involve three short operations with a maximum of 300 ms within one second.
- this type of switching places higher demands on the user, so that the lapse of a predetermined period of time for which the operation detector is continuously operated is preferred for switching.
- the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but any switching between different lamp setting modes, ie switching or dimming types, as will be explained in more detail below, includes a corresponding actuation of the actuating device of the lamp.
- the present invention can also be used to switch between abrupt dimming modes, each of which has a different number of stages.
- lamp setting modes include, for example: continuous dimming, dimming with such a number of levels that it appears to the eye as continuous dimming, dimming with any number x of Stages, for example three steps or four steps, a mode in which an activation / deactivation is carried out with an actuation up to a certain period of time, while dimming is carried out with a longer actuation, a mode in which no dimming, but only one Switching on / off is carried out, a mode in which no switching on / off, but only dimming is carried out, a mode in which the lamp assumes maximum brightness after being connected to the mains, ie after being switched on again, a mode in which the Illuminants a minimal H after a power supply brightness assumes a mode in which the illuminant assumes a predetermined (default) brightness after a mains supply, and a mode in which the illuminant again assumes
- the different modes are preferably set as a function of the length of time the actuating device is touched, ie preferably the tion sensor or the button, the lamp.
- the actuating device can be actuated somewhat longer than would be necessary for the normal functions of the lamp to be called up in order to reach the range of switching. Normal functions are understood to mean, for example, switching the lamp on / off or dimming it.
- the timeline is displayed from the first touch, i.e. Actuation, the actuating device divided into sections x, which represent time windows, each section being assigned a specific mode.
- the normal functions are carried out up to a predetermined first time period of an uninterrupted actuation, while after this predetermined first time period the device according to the invention performs a switching of the lamp setting mode.
- the device according to the invention switches, for example, after a period of 3.5 s for a single run through the dimming range or after 7 s for a double run through the dimming range into the steady or the jumpy mode, depending on which mode was previously set .
- a switchover to a specific mode could take place after the first period of uninterrupted actuation, after a second period of uninterrupted actuation Switching to another mode, etc.
- the system could switch to an abrupt dimming mode with four levels after an uninterrupted operation of 7s, after a continuous operation, for example after 10s to an abrupt dimming mode with three levels, after 13s to another Mode, etc.
- the system can then start again with the mode that is the first in the factory was set, ie the so-called default mode.
- the respective time periods can be suitably determined depending on the normal functions of the illuminant or the lamp, the number of different operating modes being theoretically unlimited.
- a first group can include, for example, the different dimming modes, namely continuous dimming or dimming with such a number of levels that it appears to the eye as continuous dimming, and different dimming modes with an arbitrary number x of levels , for example three levels or four levels.
- a second group can contain, for example, the modes relating to the relationship between switching on / off and dimming the light source, namely a mode in which switching on / off is carried out when actuated for a certain period of time, while dimming is carried out when pressed for a longer period , a mode in which no dimming, but only on / off switching is carried out, a mode in which no on / off switching, but only dimming is carried out.
- a third group can include the different initial operating states of the illuminant after it has been switched on again, namely a mode in which the illuminant assumes maximum brightness after being connected to the mains, ie after being switched on again, a mode in which the illuminant has one after being supplied with mains assumes minimum brightness, a mode in which the Illuminant after a mains supply assumes a predetermined (default) brightness, and a mode in which the illuminant after a mains supply again assumes the brightness to which it was set when it was previously switched off.
- the illuminant setting modes of the first group can be assigned to the time windows of the first time axis
- the illuminant setting modes of the second group can be assigned to the time windows of the second time axis, etc.
- a switching, that is to say a change, between the first and second time axis could, for example, take place in such a way that if the actuating device is released in a time window of the first time axis and is operated again within a predetermined period of time, for example 3 seconds, the second time axis is changed so that it is possible to switch between the lamp setting modes contained in the second group. If the actuating device is thus permanently actuated, all modes of the first group are run through, for example endlessly in a loop.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of a time axis arrangement for a plurality of groups into which the lamp setting modes are divided.
- a device for detecting the uninterrupted duration of the detection signal which represents an actuation of the actuating device.
- a first time axis comprises three time windows 102, 104 and 106.
- continuous dimming can be assigned to time window 102
- dimming in three stages can be assigned to time window 104
- dimming in four stages can be assigned to time window 106 be assigned.
- a second time axis likewise comprises three time windows, whereby the time window 108 can be assigned an initial operating state of a minimum brightness, the time window 110 an initial operating state of a maximum brightness and the time window 112 an initial operating state of a preset brightness, each after one Turn back on.
- time windows of which can define other independently adjustable lamp operating states are shown schematically in FIG. 4 by a dashed line 114.
- the device 100 now detects an independent duration of the detection signal which exceeds a predetermined first time period, for example 3.5 s or 7 s, the first time axis is entered, the time windows 102, 104, 106 of the same being traversed one after the other, with continued actuation of the Actuator the first time it is looped through by jumping back to the first time window of the first time axis after the last time window 106, see path 116 in FIG. 4.
- a predetermined first time period for example 3.5 s or 7 s
- each time window can have a suitable duration of, for example, three seconds. After releasing the actuating device, the mode whose time window was just run through when releasing remains set.
- the second time axis is entered, as shown schematically in FIG. 4 by respective paths 120, 122, 124 from the time windows 102, 104 and 106 is shown.
- the lamp setting modes assigned to the time windows thereof can be set in a manner analogous to that explained above with respect to the first time axis.
- the definition of the lamp setting modes is ended, the first time axis only being entered again when the actuating device has been actuated continuously for more than the predetermined first period of time.
- the present invention can be implemented in hardware or software.
- the corresponding function is displayed in each time window which is run through by a continuous actuation of the actuating device, e.g. continuous dimming, dimming in appropriate stages, only switching on / off, etc.
- the light source for example, always periodically goes to the respective initial value, e.g. the maximum value, the minimum value, i.e. stays off, or the preset brightness.
- the lamp itself is thus the monitor for the corresponding selection option. This means that neither a tool or switch is required for switching, nor a separate output device or a stopwatch must be provided to show where on which time axis one is.
- the present invention thus creates a brightness adjustment device that enables a user to switch between different illuminant setting modes, for example between continuous and sudden dimming.
- the actuations are preferably harmonized in the different lamp setting modes, for example in steady mode and in step mode, so that the use for a consumer is greatly simplified.
- the present invention is suitable for adjusting the brightness of all conceivable lamps, for example conventional light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, low-voltage lamps and the like, but can also be used for controlling special lamps, for example mercury vapor lamps and the like. chen, are used.
- the device according to the invention can be designed as a ballast or can be integrated into existing devices, such as electrical transformers and the like, or the lamp itself.
- the present invention is advantageous for the manufacturers of lamps, since they only have to provide lamps with a controller and thus simpler storage can be implemented.
