Description

LUMINAIRE, INSTALLATION EQUIPPED WITH SUCH LUMINAIRES AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION WITHIN A POPULATION EQUIPPED WITH SUCH INSTALLATION.

The present invention relates to a luminaire and an installation equipped with such luminaires. It also relates to a method of managing power consumption within a population whose homes are equipped with such facilities. It will find its application in the areas of home improvement, especially for alarm management, fire or intrusion security, video surveillance, energy management, monitoring of the elderly, home automation and home appliances. multimedia. The existing intrusion security systems consist in particular of infrared detectors and door contacts and have electrical wiring connected to a management box equipped with a telephone transmitter. The same is true for fire safety systems with, in this case, smoke detectors and carbon dioxide detectors connected to a management box through specific cabling. In the case of CCTV systems, various design cameras are installed inside and / or outside the building and are connected through specific cabling to a video storage unit and / or a monitoring center. Such video surveillance systems can be coupled with an emergency call facility for the elderly surveillance. Such an emergency call installation generally comprises a medallion or a bracelet for triggering the call which transmits a signal to a housing equipped with a telephone transmitter for transferring the emergency signal to a management center.

A disadvantage of these various facilities is that they are very expensive to implement. Indeed, besides the various equipment or apparatus, these each require specific wiring that should be installed in the housing. When installed in an existing dwelling or an existing office or commercial surface, these installations often require cabling in apparent, by means of moldings or equivalent, even need to make bleeds in the walls and / or partitions existing to realize and conceal said wiring. Which is not always aesthetic and increases the cost of these facilities. Another disadvantage is their lack of discretion. Indeed, these various devices above must be positioned in well-defined locations to maximize their effectiveness, which makes them visible on their location. Their visibility can be inconvenient from an aesthetic point of view and reduce their effectiveness in the case of surveillance or intrusion.

The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. For this purpose the invention relates to a luminaire which comprises a base configured to be fixed on a support such as a ceiling or a wall. The luminaire also comprises a light source such as an incandescent lamp or light-emitting diodes, and electric connection means configured to electrically connect the light source to the electrical distribution network of the housing, itself connected to a power source. external power supply, including the electricity supply network of the electricity supplier.

According to the invention, the base comprises a management electronic card configured to receive input data and output data output, a line-type powerline interface, called PLC, connected between the management electronic card and the means electrical connection, a voltage transformer connected between the electronic management card and the electrical connection means and at least one peripheral device connected to the electronic card and configured to transmit data to the management card or receive data from this electronic management card.

These peripheral devices are chosen from the following non-exhaustive list: CCTV cameras, smoke detectors, temperature probes, infrared motion detectors, photocells, microphones, loudspeakers and carbon dioxide detectors . One or more peripheral devices may be integrated into the base of the luminaire, which will determine in particular its shape and dimensions.

Thus, the luminaire according to the invention integrates one or more peripheral devices which are connected and managed by a single electronic management card. Their installation in the luminaire facilitates their installation, allows them to be concealed and allows to position them appropriately so as to optimize the coverage area. Indeed, the luminaires are generally positioned in the center of a ceiling or even applied on the walls, to cover the entirety or a whole part of a room.

In addition, the electronic management card and possibly the peripheral devices use the power supply wiring provided for the light source to be electrically powered through the voltage transformer and the means of the electrical connection means. This avoids the addition of additional wiring for the power supply of the equipment. Likewise, the line carrier type interface makes it possible to use the power supply wiring provided for the light source so as to transmit data from the peripheral equipment to other electrical equipment. This also removes the addition of additional cables for data transmission. Thus the user must not perform cabling work for the installation of the installations, which avoids the realization of bleeding in the walls for the passage of cables and their concealment, or even avoids the installation of moldings for the passage of cables in apparent.

According to the luminaire object of the invention, the electronic management card comprises at least one wireless module for transmitting and receiving data. Such a wireless module for transmitting and receiving data consists in particular of a radiofrequency module of Z-Wave® type or of a Wifi type module. This has the advantage of allowing the communication of the luminaire management electronic card with external equipment also equipped with such Z-Wave ^® or Wifi technologies, such as electric convectors, a domestic hot water tank, a refrigerating appliance , a laptop, a mobile phone or even other devices. In a preferred embodiment of the luminaire that is the subject of the invention, the base comprises a radio frequency module of Z-Wave® type and a WiFi type module.

According to one embodiment of the luminaire that is the subject of the invention, the base comprises a support system for the peripheral equipment that is configured to modify the orientation of said peripheral equipment. This allows the peripheral equipment to be properly positioned in the base of the luminaire. In a preferred embodiment, the support system comprises a mechanism for orienting peripheral equipment and motorization means of the orientation mechanism configured to be controlled by the electronic management card. Such a design is advantageous for the implementation of a CCTV camera that can pivot like a ball on a half-sphere, which allows a field of view of an entire room when the luminaire is installed in the center of this room.

According to an alternative embodiment of the luminaire that is the subject of the invention, the base of the luminaire comprises a backed-up power supply and, independently or in combination, a GSM transmitter. This overcomes a possible failure of the wired power supply and / or wired telephone transmission. Thus, even if the power supply or the telephone line is cut due to a technical incident or a deliberate degradation, the luminaire remains in working order and can transmit written or voice electronic messages to the outside.

In one embodiment of the luminaire that is the subject of the invention, the base of the luminaire integrates at least one photoelectric cell and an infrared presence detector. In addition, the management card is configured to control the switching on and off of the light source. Thus, depending on the brightness in the room or on the outside of the building, depending on the location of the luminaire, and the detection of a presence, the electronic card includes a switch that closes or opens to turn on. or turn off the light source. This eliminates the possibility of installing a control button for lighting the luminaire on the walls of the room.

A second aspect of the invention relates to an installation comprising at least one luminaire according to the invention having, alone or in combination, the aforementioned characteristics. In addition, the installation comprises a communication system of the modulator-demodulator type, called an internet modem, and a second line-type powerline interface, called PLC, connected between the power distribution network and the said internet modem. This internet modem is also connected to the telephone network.

In one embodiment of the installation that is the subject of the invention, this installation comprises at least one electrical apparatus that is distinct from the at least one luminaire. Such electrical equipment is for example an electric convector, a refrigerator, a freezer, a cold room, a hot water tank, or other. In addition, the apparatus electrical system comprises a control system configured to receive data from the electronic card management of the at least one luminaire and to control the ignition or extinction of said electrical equipment. Such a control system also uses the aforementioned Z-Wave ^{® technology} and / or Wifi technology and used by the management electronic card in the base of the luminaire.

In one embodiment of the installation that is the subject of the invention, this installation comprises several luminaires, one of the luminaires being master and the other luminaries being slaves. Thus, the master luminaire receives data from other luminaires from the various peripheral devices that they integrate and / or transmit data to these other luminaires in order to control the various peripheral devices integrated in said luminaires. The master luminaire also communicates with the internet modem.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for managing the energy consumption of a population whose housing is each equipped with a facility mentioned above, object of the invention. This process consists of: - defining the electrical equipment present in each dwelling, such as the electric convectors, the refrigerator, the freezer, the domestic hot water tank or other;

- define the occupancy schedule of each dwelling, in order to know if the electrical equipment can be temporarily neutralized in the absence of the occupants of the dwelling;

assigning an identification address of the IP address type to each electrical apparatus of each installation;

transmitting data to the electronic management card of the at least one luminaire of each installation, namely the master luminaire, by means of the modulator-demodulator type communication system of said installation, from an external management center the electricity supplier, said data being relative to each identification address and allowing the activation or extinction of each electrical equipment.

The transmission of data from the external management center depends on the occupation plan of each housing and the thermal inertia of the electrical equipment and housing. Its data is determined in order to smooth the overall electrical energy consumption.

According to the method of the invention, the luminaires are equipped with a temperature sensor so as to measure the thermal inertia of each housing, said thermal inertia measurements being transmitted to the external management center through the control system. communication modulator-demodulator type internet. The management center then sends feedback data of activation or extinction of each electrical equipment, depending on the inertia of the measured temperature. This optimizes the management of the data relating to each dwelling and the smoothing of the overall electrical energy consumption of the population.

The characteristics and the various possible applications will appear on reading the following description which relies on figures among which:

- Figure 1 illustrates an overview of a non-limiting embodiment of the luminaire;

- Figures 2 and 3 respectively illustrate in section and in partial section, the base of the luminaire of Figure 1, highlighting the incorporation of peripheral equipment in this base;

- Figure 5 shows a graph of an electronic management card as incorporated in the base of the luminaire.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the luminaire 1 comprises a base 2 which, in this case, is configured to be fixed to the ceiling of a room. A stem 3, hollow, extends downwardly relative to the base 2. As illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the upper end 3a of this rod 3 passes through the base 2. The lower end 3b of the rod 3 receives a light source 4 such as an incandescent lamp, a halogen lamp or light-emitting diodes, for example, arranged under a lampshade or an inverted luminous basin 5. An electrical connection cable passes through the tube 3 to be connected to the light source 4. The lower end of the cable is connected for example to a socket or a support on which are mounted the lamp or the diodes; the end is connected to a cable of the electricity distribution network of the dwelling in which the luminaire 1 is installed.

According to the invention, as illustrated in particular in Figures 2 to 4, the base 2 incorporates various electrical equipment. In Figures 2 to 4, we see that the base 2 is composed of four compartments 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d.

In the upper compartment 6a of the base 2, the upper wall 2a has a conical shape and comprises at least four windows 7 uniformly distributed around the axis X. These windows 7 allow the positioning of four infrared motion detectors (no illustrated in the figures) which allow 360 ° presence detection around the X axis, in the room equipped with said luminaire 1. Support walls 8 arranged inside the upper compartment 6a, as illustrated in FIG. 3, allow the attachment of these infrared motion detectors. It is also possible to provide an additional window 7 for positioning a photoelectric cell (not shown), a support for fixing and holding the photoelectric cell in front of said window 7.

In the intermediate upper 6b and lower 6c compartments of the base 2, the intermediate wall 2b comprises a cylindrical shape, as illustrated in Figures 2 to 4. In the upper intermediate compartment 6b are housed two speakers 9a, 9b diametrically opposed to the axis X. These speakers 9a, 9b are fixed on supports 10a, 10b to maintain them opposite perforation 11a, 11b arranged on the intermediate wall 2b which allow to broadcast sound waves through of the wall of the base 2. These speakers 9a, 9b can broadcast voice messages, music, daily information or any other multimedia. In this upper intermediate compartment 6b, or even in another compartment of the base 2, are also housed microphones which are supported and held in front of perforations similar to the perforations 11a, 11b. These microphones can also be positioned adjacent to the loudspeakers 9a, 9b, the supports 10a, 10b allowing them to be held in front of said perforations 11a, 11b. These microphones allow the reception of voice messages. In the lower compartment 6d of the base 2, the bottom wall 2c comprises a semi-spherical or dome shape and is made of a material allowing visualization from the inside of the lower compartment 6d, such as glass or a plastics material. tinted. A camera 12 is housed in the lower compartment 6d and is fixed on a support 13. This support 13 comprises a first portion 13a which is rotatably mounted relative to a tabular portion 14 disposed along the axis X. This rotational assembly is realized by means of a rolling bearing 15. Thus the camera 12 can rotate 360 ^e with the first part 13a of the support 13, around the axis X. This support 13 comprises a second part 13b on which is fixed the camera 12. This second part 13b of the support 13 is mounted in pivot connection 16 along an axis Y, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Thus, the camera 12 can pivot 180 ° along the Y axis with respect to the first portion 13a of FIG. support 13.

As illustrated in Figures 2 to 4, a toothed wheel 17 is arranged along the X axis in the lower intermediate compartment 6c and is fixed by means of fixing screws 18a, 18b on the partition wall 19 between the two compartments. upper intermediate 6b and lower 6c. A first motor 20 is fixed on the first part 13a of the support 13 and a first pinion 21 is fixed to the end of the shaft 22 of the motor 20. This first pinion 21 meshes with the toothed wheel 17. The actuation of the motor 20 allows through the gearing between the first pinion 21 and the toothed wheel 17, the 360 ° rotation of the first portion 13a of the support 13. As illustrated in Figures 2 to 4, a portion gear 23 is fixed to the second portion 13b of the support 13. In addition a second motor 24 is fixed on the first portion 13a of the support. The end of the shaft 25 of the motor 24 receives a second gear 26 which meshes with the toothed gear portion 23. The activation of this second motor 24 thus allows the drive in rotation along the Y axis of the second part. 13b of the support 13 relative to the first portion 13a of said support 13.

The tubular portion 14 extends upwards, into the upper compartment 6a, and receives a tube 27 which itself allows the reception of the upper end 3a of the rod 3. The lower end 27a of this tube 27a a shouldered shape constituting a stop on the bottom wall 2c. The upper end 27b of the tube 27 comprises a thread for screwing a stop nut 28 which ensures the assembled support of the wall lower 2c with the intermediate wall 2b, itself assembled with the upper wall 2a.

As shown schematically in FIG. 5, the base 2 can be equipped with other peripheral equipment, in addition to or in substitution for the camera 12, the loudspeakers 9a, 9b, the microphones 29, the infrared motion detectors 30 and the photoelectric cell 31. Thus, it is possible in the base 2 a smoke detector 32, a carbon dioxide detector 33 and a temperature probe 34, which are preferably arranged in the upper compartment 2a and in the upper intermediate compartment 2b. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base comprises an electronic management card 35 which is arranged in the upper intermediate compartment 2b. As illustrated by the direction of the arrows on the graph of FIG. 5, this management electronic card 35 receives data from the carbon dioxide detector 33, the temperature probe 34, the smoke detector 32, the microphones 29, the camera 12, the photocell 31 and the infrared motion detectors 30. This electronic management card 35 also receives data from position sensors 36, 37 which indicate the end-of-travel positions when the camera 12 is pivoted along the axes X and Y. In addition, the management electronic card 35 transmits data to the loudspeakers 9a, 9b and the first and second motors 20, 24 for changing the orientation of the support 13 and the camera 12.

As shown diagrammatically in Figure 5, the base 2 also includes a Z- Wave ^® radio module 38 and a Wifi 39 module, known to those skilled in the electronics art or computers, which communicate with the electronic card management 35 and allow the transmission of data to electrical equipment equipped with one or other of these technologies Z-Wave ^® or Wifi, or conversely allow the receipt of data from these electrical equipment.

As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, the base 2 also comprises an interface 40 of the in-line carrier current type, called the CPL interface and known to those skilled in the computer or electronics field. This PLC interface 40 is connected between the electronic management card 35 and the power supply cables 41a, 41b of the power supply network. electrical distribution of housing. Such a PLC interface 40 makes it possible to use the electrical distribution network of the housing to convey data between various electrical equipment equipped with such CPL interfaces. This avoids the addition of additional cables for transmitting data from luminaire 1 to electrical equipment. As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, the base 2 integrates a voltage supply 42 of the management electronic card 35 and the aforementioned peripheral equipment. This voltage supply 42 consists of a voltage transformer whose primary is connected to the power supply cables 41a, 41b and whose secondary is connected to the management card 35, itself connected to peripheral equipment. This also makes it possible to use the power supply of the luminaire 1, without requiring additional wiring.

As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, the management electronic card 35 comprises a removable SD card memory card 43, which allows the storage of digital data relating to the programming of the management electronic card 35. It is also possible to provide a socket 44 for example RJ45 or other type, allowing the connection of the management electronic card 35 to a computer for programming the removable memory card 43. It is also possible to provide a reset button 45 of the electronic management card 35.

As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, the electronic management card 35 allows the control of the light source 46 of the luminaire 1 or even of several light sources 46, 47 located in the same part of a housing. This control is performed from the data transmitted by the photocell 31 which detects the level of brightness in the room and from the data transmitted by the infrared motion detectors. One can also provide in addition to the time slots programmed on the memory card 43.

Such luminaires 1 according to the invention is part of an installation in a housing for managing all the features offered by said luminaires 1, namely, the management of the fire alarm, the intrusion alarm, the surveillance of sick or elderly or even infants, multimedia and / or home automation. For this, the installation comprises luminaires 1 having the characteristics presented above, the luminaires 1 being installed in the various rooms of the housing or of an establishment. The installation also includes an internet modulator-demodulator type communication system, called an internet modem, which is connected to the telephone network. One of the luminaires 1 is a master station and the other luminaires are slave stations. Thus the slave stations receive control data from the master station and transmit information data to said master station. This data transmission is performed via the CPL interfaces 40 that the luminaires 1 comprise. As previously stated, a second line-type power line interface, called CPL, is connected between the electrical distribution network of the housing, which is connected to the power supply source of the electricity supplier, and said internet modem. Thus the data can be transmitted between the internet modem and the luminaire 1 constituting the master station. This internet modem allows the transmission of written messages and / or voice messages and / or video messages to external management centers, such as a fire safety center, an intrusion security center, a security surveillance older people or, as will be detailed below, a center for energy consumption management. Similarly, these management centers can send data to the luminaires 1 in the housing via the internet modem, for example to send a sound message through the speakers 9a, 9b. It is also possible to broadcast multimedia through the speakers 9a, 9b by means of a computer equipped with a Wifi interface, or even through the Internet modem of the installation or a PLC interface connected to this computer, which communicates with the WiFi module 39 or the interface CPL 40 of the luminaire 1 master. Conversely, it is possible to monitor the housing parts by means of a computer or a mobile phone by activating the cameras and microphones 29 on the luminaires 1. This may be advantageous for the surveillance of infants or children located in separate rooms, for example.

In order to achieve home automation management of the housing, the electrical equipment of the housing each comprise a control system having a Z-Wave® interface type technology configured to receive data from the management card of the at least one luminaire, transmitted by the Z-Wave ^® 38 module of the luminaire 1 master, and to control the ignition or extinction of said electrical equipment. These electrical devices are in particular of the thermal type, such as electric convectors, the freezer, the refrigerator, the domestic hot water tank, and the like. It can also be electric shutters. Such Z-Wave ^® technology is already known in the art. Thus, centralized management can be entrusted to a management center. The occupant of the housing may also manage his own electrical equipment remotely through the Internet modem, using a computer or a mobile phone.

In one application, the management of electrical equipment is entrusted to an energy consumption management center, in particular set up by the electric power supplier, whose function is to manage all the installations of a population equipped with a technology to reduce the energy consumption of homes and reduce peaks of electrical energy consumption that can lead to a power outage and a general power outage, or even requiring the use of additional power generation plants that use fossil fuels, such as fuel oil, more expensive.

In this application, it is first necessary to define all the electrical equipment present in each housing and which have a thermal inertia. This is particularly the case of electric heaters, freezer, refrigerator and hot water tank. Then, we define the occupancy schedule of each dwelling in order to know precisely the time and the moment of presence of the occupants of the home, which is decisive for the triggering of electrical electrical equipment of the electric convector and hot water tank type. health. An IP address identification address is then assigned to each electrical switchgear equipped with Z-Wave ^® technology in each installation.

The electricity supplier is able to know precisely the peaks of electrical energy consumption based on power readings, time of year and outdoor temperatures. The supplier's management center then anticipates the triggering of the electrical equipment according to the equipment of each housing and the occupancy schedule, then transmits data to the electronic boards. management 35 of each luminaire 1 master in the housing through modems internet facilities. These data relate to each identification address of the electrical equipment and allow the activation or extinction of each electrical equipment. The thermal inertia of the electrical equipment makes it possible to keep them operational once switched off, which allows the management center to cut off these electrical devices at the peak of estimated consumption. Thus, the management center can switch on and off the electrical equipment of the facilities of the population to smooth the consumption of electrical energy on the day, which avoids or at least reduce the peaks of electricity. power consumption. To optimize the smoothing of the electrical energy consumption, the management center retrieves the measurements of the temperatures in the rooms of each dwelling of the population by means of the temperature probes 34 in the luminaires 1. This allows the management center to know precisely the thermal inertia of each housing and more precisely control the activation or extinction of each electrical equipment. These thermal inertia measurements are transmitted to the external management center via the internet modem.

The luminaire 1 according to the invention and the installation implemented by means of such luminaires offer a multitude of applications, as presented in a non-exhaustive manner previously. Other features are conceivable within the scope of the invention. As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, the base 2 of the luminaire 1 can also integrate an emergency power supply 48 and a GSM transmitter 49 which have the advantage of overcoming a deficiency in the electricity supplier's normal electricity supply and overcoming a impaired wired telephone network to which the internet modem is connected. Thus, the emergency power supply 48 makes it possible to keep the electronic management card 35 and the various peripheral devices in service and the GSM transmitter 49 enables the transmission of voice, video or written messages to the various management centers or even to a mobile telephone. of the occupant of the dwelling.

Alternative luminaires 1 are furthermore possible. In particular, it is possible to provide a base 2 which is configured to be fixed to a wall lamp. We can also modify the shape and dimensions of the base 2. It is also possible to provide the implementation of such a luminaire 1 outside, with in this case additional sealing functions, possibly.

The luminaires 1 may furthermore be equipped with other technologies than the Z-Wave ^® and Wifi technologies used and described above, and having similar characteristics so as to transmit and receive data by radiofrequency.
