Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote control device for two identical, each independently adjustable devices, for example beds, of a room, the first device being equipped with a first receiver and the second device with a second receiver, and the first receiver being a first wireless remote control transmitter and the second
  • a second wireless remote control transmitter is assigned to the receiver, both remote control transmitters have buttons for controlling the receiving channels of the devices that control the different functions, and each remote control transmitter can be switched to the receiving channels of one or the other receiver by means of an additional switch, so that depending on the position of the additional switch and the actuation one of the buttons one of the functions of one or the other device can be switched.
  • Bedroom furnishings are known in which the bed surfaces on the two beds can be adjusted by motor.
  • An infrared remote control can be provided for control purposes, with each bed having its own remote control transmitter so that each bed can be adjusted separately.
  • the transmitters In a remote control device in which one of several receivers is assigned a separate transmitter, it is known to construct the transmitters in such a way that they can also be switched to another receiver by means of an additional switch.
  • the additional switch is formed by a slide switch or key contacts.
  • the transmitter is switched from one receiver to another in such a way that once a setting has been selected, it is permanently retained and is only changed again by switching again. The operator must first of all convince himself of which receiver the respective transmitter is set to if he wants to avoid an erroneous actuation of another receiver.
  • Such a device is unsuitable for remote control of the above-mentioned beds, since there is then the risk that not the own bed, but the bed of the other person is accidentally adjusted.
  • the remote control device is also to be used to control other devices associated with an operator, such as bedside lamps and / or alarm clocks.
  • An integrated component SAA 3004 (Valvo) is known on the market, which is suitable for the construction of multi-channel, addressable transmitters.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a remote control device of the type mentioned, in which, as a rule, each operator can only control the functions of his device with his remote control transmitter and only if necessary the functions of the device of the other operator, with an erroneous actuation of the device of the other Operator is largely excluded.
  • a button switch is provided as an additional switch in each of the two remote control transmitters, that then and as long as the button switch of the first remote control transmitter is actuated, with the buttons of which the functions of the second receiver can be controlled and after the completion of the actuation of this key switch with the buttons of the first remote control transmitter, the functions of the first receiver are controllable and that then and as long as the button switch of the second remote control transmitter is actuated, with the buttons of which the functions of the first receiver can be controlled and after the actuation of this button switch with the Buttons of the second remote control transmitter, the functions of the second receiver are controllable.
  • Actuation of the partner's device is possible, for example, if the partner is temporarily unable to operate his transmitter or has misplaced it.
  • the first remote control transmitter is automatically set so that it controls the functions of the first receiver when operated appropriately. The same applies to the second remote control transmitter.
  • each remote control transmitter has an integrated circuit which has an address control connection and address selection connections, the higher-order one of two controlled address selection connections having priority.
  • an integrated circuit is, for example, the SAA 3004 (Valvo) module.
  • the address control connection is connected to a lower-value address selection connection and via an emitter-collector path of a switching transistor to a higher-value address selection connection.
  • Parallel to the emitter-collector path of the switching transistor is a voltage divider, which consists of the pushbutton switch and a resistor and whose tap is connected to the base of the switching transistor.
  • the push button switch In the first remote control transmitter, the push button switch is located between the base and the collector of the switching transistor, whereas in the second remote control transmitter the push button switch is located between the emitter and the base of the switching transistor.
  • the mode of operation described is thus implemented in a simple manner in terms of circuitry.
  • the voltage divider has a reversible connection. This enables the first transmitters and the second transmitters to be constructed identically in production. By appropriately inserting the voltage divider, the transmitter becomes a first or second transmitter.
  • An infrared remote control transmitter (1) has a plurality of buttons (2).
  • a head part, an upper part and a foot part of a bed can be adjusted by pressing the buttons (2).
  • the bed is equipped with an appropriate receiver.
  • the remote control transmitter (1) is provided with a push button (3).
  • Two remote control transmitters (1) are provided for two beds set up in a bedroom, with one of the beds and the buttons (2) of the other remote control transmitter (1 ) the other bed is adjustable.
  • Both remote control transmitters (1) have an integrated component SAA 3004.
  • An oscillator (4) and a matrix arrangement (5) on which the keys (2) act are connected to this on the input side.
  • An infrared transmitter module (6) is located on the output side of the integrated component.
  • the integrated component is provided with an address control connection (7) and with address selection connections (8, 9). If there is a signal at the address selection connection (8), the transmitter emits a pulse sequence when the buttons (2) are pressed, which controls the first receiver. If, on the other hand, there is a signal at the address selection connection (9), then the transmitter emits a signal which, when a key (2) is pressed, controls the second receiver.
  • the address control connection (7) is connected to the address selection connection (8) via a line (10) in which a diode (D1) is located.
  • the address control connection (7) is connected to the address selection connection (9) via an emitter-collector path (E-K) of a switching transistor (T) and a further diode (D2).
  • a voltage divider consisting of a resistor (R) and the pushbutton switch (3) is connected in parallel to the emitter-collector path (E-K).
  • the tap of the voltage divider lies on the base (B) of the transistor (T).
  • the pushbutton switch (3) is located between the base (B) and the collector (K) of the switching transistor (T) (cf. FIG. 2).
  • the pushbutton switch (3) lies between the emitter (E) and the base (B) of the transistor (T) (cf. FIG. 3).
  • the pushbuttons (3) are usually open on both transmitters (1).
  • the transistor (T) is blocked, so that a signal is only present at the address selection connection (8) via the line (10).
  • the first transmitter (1) is thus assigned to the first receiver. If the key switch (3) is closed at the first transmitter (1), then the transistor (T) becomes conductive, so that now the signal of the address control connection (7) is present at both address selection connections (8, 9). Since the address selection connection (9) is paramount, the first transmitter (1) is now assigned to the second receiver, so that, as long as the key switch (3) is closed, when a key (2) is pressed accordingly, the functions of the second one Controls the receiver.
  • the first transmitter (1) is ready to control the first receiver again.
  • the transistor (T) is conductive when the push button switch (3) is open, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is present at both address selection connections (8, 9). Since the address selection connection (9) has priority, the second transmitter (1) controls the second receiver when a key (2) is pressed accordingly.
  • the transistor (T) blocks, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is now only present at the address selection connection (8).
  • the second transmitter (1) is thus ready to control the function of the first receiver. After releasing the key switch (3), the functions of the second receiver can be controlled again with the second transmitter (1).
  • the first transmitter (1) and the second transmitter (1) differ only in the arrangement of the voltage divider (3, R), this is prepared as a plug-in unit that can be plugged into the transmitter either with one polarity or the other polarity.
