Sistema de interruptor conmutable por comunicación inalámbrica Switchable switch system by wireless communication
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente solicitud de invención tiene por objeto el registro de un sistema de interruptor inalámbrico que incorpora notables ventajas frente a las técnicas utilizadas hasta el momento, particularmente conveniente para instalaciones de iluminación con interruptores conmutables.The object of the present invention application is the registration of a wireless switch system that incorporates notable advantages over the techniques used up to now, particularly convenient for lighting installations with switchable switches.
Más concretamente, la invención propone un dispositivo anexionable a uno de los interruptores manuales de la instalación, vinculable a través de Internet al smartphone del usuario mediante una aplicación y/o una página web, que por su particular disposición permite gobernar la iluminación sin la necesidad de anular dichos interruptores manuales y sin necesidad de concentradores tipo hub, a la vez que es económico de fabricar y fácil de instalar. More specifically, the invention proposes a device that can be attached to one of the installation's manual switches, which can be linked via the Internet to the user's smartphone through an application and / or a web page, which due to its particular arrangement allows the lighting to be controlled without the need for it. to override such manual switches and without the need for hub-type concentrators, while being inexpensive to manufacture and easy to install.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidos en el actual estado de la técnica los interruptores unipolares o los sistemas de domótica con múltiples interruptores con control inalámbrico que permiten controlar dispositivos eléctricos y electrónicos de una instalación a través de Internet mediante una aplicación móvil o una página web. In the current state of the art, single-pole switches or home automation systems with multiple switches with wireless control are known that allow controlling electrical and electronic devices of an installation through the Internet by means of a mobile application or a web page.
Estos interruptores con comunicación inalámbrica deben sustituirá los interruptores manuales existentes previamente en la instalación, como el mostrado en la patente US9814121 , por lo que no es posible mantener el embellecedor existente. Si además se quiere disponer de un sistema de iluminación controlado por varios interruptores vinculados entre ellos, el sistema necesita disponer de un concentrador tipo hub que actúe a modo de sistema central para gestionar las instrucciones a los interruptores y adaptar sus estados en consecuencia, como el mostrado en el documento US2019166678. These switches with wireless communication must replace the existing manual switches previously in the installation, such as the one shown in patent US9814121, so it is not possible to maintain the existing trim. If you also want to have a lighting system controlled by several switches linked together, the system needs to have a hub-type concentrator that acts as a central system to manage the instructions to the switches and adapt their states accordingly, such as the shown in US2019166678.
Por tanto, todavía hay necesidad de un sistema o dispositivo que aporte las funcionalidades de controlar la iluminación a través de Internet, a la vez que formar parte de un circuito de interruptores conmutadores manuales cruzados. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Therefore, there is still a need for a system or device that provides the functionalities of controlling lighting through the Internet, while also being part of a circuit of manual cross-over switches. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El sistema objeto de esta invención corresponde a un dispositivo de interruptor conmutable por comunicación inalámbrica, destinado a intercalarse en un circuito de iluminación con interruptores conmutadores, del tipo que comprende dos ramas de conexión eléctrica entre los interruptores. Estas dos ramas de conexión están definidas por dos cables eléctricos, por un lado conectados al interruptor conmutador que recibe la fase de la instalación eléctrica (a partir de ahora, estas conexiones resumiéndose como “conexiones a fase”) y por el otro lado conectados al interruptor conmutador que recibe la línea proveniente de la luminaria, la cual a su vez recibe el neutro de la instalación eléctrica (por ello, a partir de ahora, estas conexiones resumiéndose como “conexiones a neutro”). The system object of this invention corresponds to a switch device switchable by wireless communication, intended to be inserted in a lighting circuit with switch switches, of the type comprising two branches of electrical connection between the switches. These two connection branches are defined by two electrical cables, on the one hand connected to the commutator switch that receives the phase of the electrical installation (from now on, these connections are summarized as "phase connections") and on the other side connected to the commutator switch that receives the line from the luminaire, which in turn receives the neutral from the electrical installation (therefore, from now on, these connections are summarized as "neutral connections").
El presente sistema se basa en una placa electrónica con terminales de conexión, opcionalmente cubierta por una carcasa, la cual comprende los siguientes elementos: una primera pareja de terminales de conexión a fase, configurados para conectarse eléctricamente a dichas conexiones a fase, una segunda pareja de terminales de conexión a neutro, configurados para conectarse eléctricamente a dichas conexiones a neutro, dos relés configurados para actuar como interruptor de cruce entre las dos parejas de terminales, una unidad de procesamiento con medios de comunicación inalámbrica, un convertidor de voltaje configurado para convertir la tensión entre sus bornes de entrada, y una batería. The present system is based on an electronic board with connection terminals, optionally covered by a housing, which comprises the following elements: a first pair of phase connection terminals, configured to be electrically connected to said phase connections, a second pair of neutral connection terminals, configured to electrically connect to said neutral connections, two relays configured to act as a crossover switch between the two pairs of terminals, a processing unit with wireless communication means, a voltage converter configured to convert the voltage between its input terminals, and a battery.
El sistema se encuentra caracterizado por que uno de los bornes de entrada del convertidor de voltaje está conectado a uno de los terminales de conexión a fase y el otro borne de entrada está conectado a uno de los terminales de conexión a neutro. A su vez, la unidad de procesamiento está configurada para conmutar los relés al recibir la correspondiente señal inalámbrica, y adicionalmente configurada para cargar la batería cuando recibe alimentación por parte del convertidor de voltaje, así como para alimentarse de dicha batería en caso contrario. Gracias a esta configuración, mientras el circuito de interruptores se encuentre abierto, y consecuentemente la luminaria se encuentre apagada, el convertidor de voltaje del sistema recibe la tensión existente entre la fase y el neutro de la instalación, por lo que se alimenta la unidad de procesamiento a la vez que se carga la batería. Por otro lado, cuando el circuito se encuentre cerrado, y consecuentemente la luminaria se encuentre encendida, el convertidor de voltaje del sistema no recibe tensión, pero la unidad de procesamiento se puede alimentar de la batería. De esta forma, la unidad de procesamiento del sistema puede estar siempre activada y en comunicación inalámbrica con el servidor de Internet correspondiente, destinado a transmitir las instrucciones dadas por el usuario mediante la aplicación móvil y/o la página web desarrolladas para ello. The system is characterized in that one of the input terminals of the voltage converter is connected to one of the phase connection terminals and the other input terminal is connected to one of the neutral connection terminals. In turn, the processing unit is configured to switch the relays when receiving the corresponding wireless signal, and additionally configured to charge the battery when it receives power from the voltage converter, as well as to feed from said battery otherwise. Thanks to this configuration, as long as the switch circuit is open, and consequently the luminaire is off, the voltage converter of the system receives the voltage existing between the phase and the neutral of the installation, which is why the unit is powered. processing while charging the battery. On the other hand, when the circuit is closed, and consequently the luminaire is on, the voltage converter of the system does not receive voltage, but the processing unit can be powered from the battery. In this way, the system's processing unit can always be activated and in wireless communication with the corresponding Internet server, destined to transmit the instructions given by the user through the mobile application and / or the web page developed for it.
Por otro lado, la unidad de procesamiento puede estar configurada para detectar si su alimentación proviene del convertidor de voltaje o de la batería. A partir de ello, si detecta que su alimentación proviene del convertidor de voltaje, la unidad de procesamiento envía la señal al servidor de que la iluminación está apagada, pero si detecta que su alimentación proviene de la batería, la unidad de procesamiento envía la señal al servidor de que la iluminación está encendida. Gracias a esta configuración, los interruptores manuales ya instalados no pierden su funcionalidad; el usuario podrá dar a la instrucción de apagar o encender la iluminación a través de estos y el servidor podrá recibir la información del estado de la iluminación y actualizarlo en la aplicación móvil y en la web. On the other hand, the processing unit can be configured to detect whether its power is coming from the voltage converter or from the battery. From this, if it detects that its power comes from the voltage converter, the processing unit sends the signal to the server that the lighting is off, but if it detects that its power comes from the battery, the processing unit sends the signal to the server that the lighting is on. Thanks to this configuration, the manual switches already installed do not lose their functionality; the user will be able to give the instruction to turn off or turn on the lighting through these and the server will be able to receive the information on the status of the lighting and update it in the mobile application and on the web.
Cabe indicar que el funcionamiento del sistema es indistinto del ramal al que se conecten los bornes de entrada del convertidor de voltaje, siempre y cuando uno lo esté a uno de los terminales de conexión a fase y el otro a uno de los terminales de conexión a neutro. Por lo que respecta a los medios de comunicación inalámbrica de la unidad de procesamiento, estos pueden consistir preferiblemente en un módulo WIFI. It should be noted that the operation of the system is indistinct from the branch to which the input terminals of the voltage converter are connected, as long as one is connected to one of the phase connection terminals and the other to one of the connection terminals to neutral. As regards the wireless communication means of the processing unit, these may preferably consist of a WIFI module.
Una de las ventajas de este sistema es que permite su incorporación dentro del cajetín de un interruptor estándar ya instalado, con la ventaja de no obligar al usuario a cambiar el embellecedor. Además, el sistema no anula el interruptor manual del usuario, simplemente se incorpora actuando como un conmutador de cruce, siendo el típico escenario de un interruptor a los extremos de un pasillo, encendiéndose al inicio y apagándose al final, pero que, con este sistema, se permite el control de la iluminación a través de Internet sin necesidad de acceder manualmente a los interruptores. En añadido, tampoco necesita ningún protocolo especial ni ningún aparato intermedio que haga la función de sistema de control para estar coordinado con el resto de interruptores, ya que la propia unidad de procesamiento, junto con el servidor, puede realizar el control. Por último, es una prestación muy relevante el hecho de que el sistema se alimenta sólo con las conexiones disponibles en los interruptores y que no hace falta trasladarle una conexión del neutro de la instalación. One of the advantages of this system is that it allows its incorporation into the box of a standard switch already installed, with the advantage of not forcing the user to change the trim. In addition, the system does not override the user's manual switch, it is simply incorporated acting as a crossover switch, the typical scenario being of a switch at the ends of a corridor, turning on at the beginning and turning off at the end, but what, with this system , the lighting control is allowed via the Internet without the need to manually access the switches. In addition, it does not need any special protocol or any intermediate device that acts as a control system to be coordinated. with the rest of the switches, since the processing unit itself, together with the server, can carry out the control. Finally, a very relevant feature is the fact that the system is powered only with the connections available in the switches and that it is not necessary to transfer a connection from the neutral of the installation.
Estas y otras características y ventajas del sistema objeto de la presente invención resultarán evidentes a partir de la descripción de una realización preferida, pero no exclusiva, que se ilustra a modo de ejemplo no limitativo en los dibujos que se acompañan. These and other characteristics and advantages of the system object of the present invention will be apparent from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Tal y como se muestra en las figuras 1 y 2, el presente sistema de interruptor conmutable por comunicación inalámbrica (1) corresponde a un dispositivo destinado a intercalarse en un circuito de iluminación con interruptores conmutadores (11 , I2), el primero recibiendo la fase (F) de la instalación eléctrica y el segundo recibiendo la línea proveniente de la luminaria (L), la cual a su vez recibe el neutro (N) de la instalación eléctrica. El circuito es del tipo que comprende dos ramas de conexión eléctrica entre los interruptores conmutadores (11 , I2), definidas por sendas conexiones a fase (F1, F2) y sendas conexiones a neutro (N 1 , N2).As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present wireless communication switchable switch system (1) corresponds to a device intended to be inserted in a lighting circuit with switch switches (11, I2), the first receiving the phase (F) from the electrical installation and the second receiving the line from the luminaire (L), which in turn receives the neutral (N) from the electrical installation. The circuit is of the type that comprises two branches of electrical connection between the commutators (11, I2), defined by two connections to phase (F1, F2) and connections to neutral (N 1, N2).
Por lo que se refiere al sistema de interruptor conmutable por comunicación inalámbrica (1), comprende: una primera pareja de terminales de conexión a fase (1 F, 2F), configurados para conectarse eléctricamente a dichas conexiones a fase (F1 , F2), una segunda pareja de terminales de conexión a neutro (1 N, 2N), configurados para conectarse eléctricamente a dichas conexiones a neutro (N1, N2), dos relés (11, 12) configurados para actuar como interruptor de cruce entre las dos parejas de terminales (1 F, 2F, 1 N, 2N), una unidad de procesamiento (13), con un módulo de comunicación inalámbrica por WIFI (16), un convertidor de voltaje (14) configurado para convertir la tensión entre sus bornes de entrada (14F, 14N), y una batería (15). As regards the wireless communication switchable switch system (1), it comprises: a first pair of phase connection terminals (1F, 2F), configured to be electrically connected to said phase connections (F1, F2), a second pair of neutral connection terminals (1 N, 2N), configured to electrically connect to said neutral connections (N1, N2), two relays (11, 12) configured to act as a crossover switch between the two pairs of terminals (1 F, 2F, 1 N, 2N), a processing unit (13), with a WIFI wireless communication module (16), a voltage converter (14) configured to convert the voltage between its input terminals (14F, 14N), and a battery (15).
En la realización de ejemplo del sistema representada en las figuras 1 y 2, el convertidor de voltaje (14) tiene uno de los bornes de entrada (14F) conectado al terminal de conexión a fase (1F) del ramal superior, y el otro borne de entrada (14N) conectado al terminal de conexión a neutro (1N) igualmente del ramal superior, aunque como se ha comentado anteriormente, el funcionamiento del sistema es indistinto del ramal al que se conecten. In the exemplary embodiment of the system represented in Figures 1 and 2, the voltage converter (14) has one of the input terminals (14F) connected to the phase connection terminal (1F) of the upper branch, and the other terminal input (14N) connected to the neutral connection terminal (1N) also of the upper branch, although as mentioned above, the operation of the system is indistinct from the branch to which they are connected.
En el estado del sistema representado en la figura 1 , los relés se encuentran en posición de cruce, por lo que el circuito se encuentra abierto y por ello la luminaria se encuentra apagada. En cambio, los bornes de entrada (14F, 14N) del convertidor de voltaje (14) reciben la tensión de la fase y el neutro de la instalación, por lo que alimenta a la unidad de procesamiento (13) a la vez que se carga la batería (15). In the state of the system represented in figure 1, the relays are in the crossover position, so the circuit is open and therefore the luminaire is off. On the other hand, the input terminals (14F, 14N) of the voltage converter (14) receive the voltage of the phase and the neutral of the installation, thus supplying the processing unit (13) at the same time as charging. the battery (15).
En el estado del sistema representado en la figura 2, los relés se encuentran en posición paralela, por lo que el circuito se encuentra cerrado y por ello la luminaria se encuentra encendida. En cambio, los bornes de entrada (14F, 14N) del convertidor de voltaje (14) no reciben tensión, por lo que la unidad de procesamiento (13) se alimenta de la batería (15).In the state of the system represented in figure 2, the relays are in parallel position, so the circuit is closed and therefore the luminaire is on. On the other hand, the input terminals (14F, 14N) of the voltage converter (14) do not receive voltage, so the processing unit (13) is powered by the battery (15).
El diagrama de flujo de la figura 3 muestra la lógica llevada a cabo por la unidad de procesamiento (13), la cual está configurada para conmutar los relés (11 , 12) al recibir una correspondiente señal inalámbrica proveniente de un servidor de internet o de un dispositivo móvil; donde dicha unidad de procesamiento está además configurada para alimentar la batería (15) cuando recibe alimentación por parte del convertidor de voltaje (14), así como alimentarse de dicha batería (15) en caso contrario. Como se puede apreciar, los interruptores conmutadores (11, I2) siguen teniendo su funcionalidad. Para ello, la unidad de procesamiento (13), cuando detecta que el convertidor de voltaje (14) recibe tensión, asimila que la luminaria se encuentra apagada, y a la inversa. De esta forma la unidad de procesamiento (13) puede transmitir la información del estado de la luminaria. The flow chart of figure 3 shows the logic carried out by the processing unit (13), which is configured to switch the relays (11, 12) upon receiving a corresponding wireless signal from an internet server or from a mobile device; wherein said processing unit is further configured to power the battery (15) when it receives power from the voltage converter (14), as well as to feed from said battery (15) otherwise. As can be seen, the commutator switches (11, I2) continue to have their functionality. To do this, the processing unit (13), when it detects that the voltage converter (14) receives voltage, assumes that the luminaire is off, and vice versa. In this way, the processing unit (13) can transmit the information on the status of the luminaire.
