Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a programmable timer with at least one switchable output for connecting at least one electrical load to be switched by the timer to be programmed switching times or off, and a means for calculating at least one of the switching times depending on the position of the sun and a user input.
  • Programmable, electronic timers are known from the prior art, which set based on astronomical algorithms switching times for switching an electrical load by means of an electrical relay.
  • the astronomical algorithms can calculate the time of sunrise or sunset for a specific location on Earth and for a particular date. Based on this calculated time, the switching times can be set.
  • the switching times can be set.
  • the switching times are set with an offset (switching time offset) of an arbitrarily determinable time interval.
  • Such timers are also referred to as Astroschaltuhren.
  • Astroschaltuhren are mainly used to control lighting systems, blinds or the like.
  • the time of a certain position of the sun can be calculated by means of the astro timer.
  • the Times of sunrise and sunset of the sun are calculated. At these times, however, it is already or still so bright that lighting systems already have to be switched off or not already switched on or blinds have already pulled up or not yet lowered.
  • energy consumption is concerned, apart from a few exceptional cases, it is generally not advisable to switch on a lighting system at the time of sunset and switch off the system at the time of sunrise. Therefore, in the known Astroschaltuhren by the user a switching time offset can be entered. This shift time offset is subtracted or added from or at the calculated time of the sunrise or sunset, whereby the switching time is calculated at which the output of the timer is turned on or off. The offset shifts the switching time and thus causes an adaptation to the dusk before dawn and after sunset still sufficient illuminance.
  • Such Astroschaltuhr is for example from the publication with the publication number DE 30 19 279 A1 known.
  • a user can set the switching times by entering a fixed reference to the state of the sun, z. B. 15 minutes after sunset to achieve an individual adaptation to the dusk.
  • the invention is based on the problem to improve a programmable timer of the type mentioned in order to avoid unnecessary turn-on of the electrical load.
  • the time switch has means for inputting at least one switching angle, wherein the switching angle is the elevation angle of the sun with respect to the astronomical horizon, when reached the switching time is to be reached.
  • the calculation means is suitable and arranged to calculate, for the given switching angle, the switching time on each day during the year. By means of an actuating means of the timer according to the invention, the output is then switched to the calculated switching time.
  • the switching angle is a threshold value at which the time switch is to switch due to the elevation angle of the sun.
  • the elevation angle of the sun is not compared directly with the switching angle. Rather, by means of the calculation means it is calculated at which times on each day the elevation angle exceeds the threshold, ie reaches the switching angle. These times are the switching times at which the timer switches the output. In the timer, the current time is compared with the calculated switching times. Corresponds to the current one Time one of the switching times is switched by the adjusting means of the timer the output.
  • the output can be switched on or off according to the user's specification. If a lighting system is connected to the time switch as an electrical load, the lighting system is switched on at sunset when reaching the switching angle while it is turned off at sunrise when reaching the switching angle.
  • the elevation angle of the sun is zero degrees as soon as the center of the sun is at the height of the astronomical horizon.
  • a timer according to the invention is preferably suitable for installation in a distributor of a domestic installation and set up.
  • the power supply of the timer can then be done via a supply network.
  • the voltage of the supply network can be converted into a power supply of the time switch. It is also possible that alternatively or additionally provide internal or external energy storage, the timer with electrical energy.
  • the calculating means of a timer may be a microprocessor in which a timer control program is loaded.
  • the timepiece control program may be suitable and arranged to execute an astronomical algorithm for calculating the daily times of sunrise and sunset. The program can then also be used to calculate the time switching points that depend on sunrise and sunset.
  • sunrise and sunset are defined below as those times when the Sunbeam has reached an angular position of 50 arc minutes or 0.83 degrees below the astronomical horizon in the morning or evening.
  • the input means of a timepiece according to the invention for inputting the geographical coordinates of the operating location at the time switch can be suitable and arranged.
  • the input means it is possible, in particular, for the input means to be suitable and set up for input of the geographical length and / or width.
  • the time, the date, the time zone and / or the height of the job site can be entered.
  • the calculating means of a time switch according to the invention can be suitable and set up for calculating the switching time as a function of the entered geographical length, width and / or height of the place of use.
  • the switching angle can be entered by the user by means of the input means of a timer according to the invention in various ways or changed at any time.
  • the input means may be suitable and arranged, for example, for an indirect and / or an immediate input of the switching angle.
  • the switching angle is input directly, it is preferably entered as an angle variable with a resolution of 0.1 °.
  • a substitute size is entered by means of the input means, which within the Timer is related to a predefined switching angle. That is, each of these substitute sizes is assigned a specific switching angle.
  • the calculation means of a timer according to the invention may be suitable and configured to calculate the switching time as a function of the substitute size.
  • the replacement size can be a percentage.
  • the percentage value may refer to a period of time, for example the duration of civil twilight, or to a reference angle, for example the angle between the elevation angle of the sun at the beginning and at the end of civil twilight.
  • the substitute size can also be entered as the illuminance value in lux unit
  • the purpose of entering the substitute size as a percentage or illuminance value is to save the user from having to enter the switching angle. Under the immediate input of the switching angle relative to the elevation angle of the sun of, for example, 0 °, a user can sometimes imagine little. On the other hand, a user may be more likely to imagine something below the value of illuminance or percentage related to a time period after or before sunset, for example, in relation to the duration of civil twilight. It should be made clear at this point that the value of illuminance that is input need not be an exact value at the calculated switching instant. Rather, it is a mean illuminance value that an average user would subjectively associate with a corresponding twilight phase.
  • Each percentage value and each average value of the illuminance is assigned a switching angle. This can be done via a stored in a memory of the timer allocation table. As well it is possible that a switching angle is calculated for each percentage value and each average value of the illuminance.
  • Particularly user-friendly is a timer according to the invention, if you can choose between the direct input of the switching angle and an input of the substitute size and between the different ways to enter the substitute size.
  • the calculation means may be suitable and arranged, the annual total duty cycle of a consumer connected to the output of the timer for the input switching angle or for the switching angle calculated from the entered substitute size.
  • a user can thereby form an idea of the energy consumption with different choice of the switching angle or the corresponding substitute size.
  • the calculation means may also be suitable and configured to calculate the current elevation angle of the sun.
  • a signal may be applied, which indicates the current, calculated elevation angle of the sun.
  • This signal indicating the elevation angle of the sun can be used, for example, to control the power of the electrical consumers according to the elevation angle.
  • it may be possible, for example, to increase or decrease the power of a lighting system as a function of the elevation angle.
  • a lighting system is switched on at times during twilight already with low power and the performance of the lighting system - in the case of the evening twilight - is increased gradually or continuously until the end of twilight or beyond the end of twilight.
  • the actuating means of a timer may be a monostable or bistable relay.
  • the relay switches as soon as the calculated switching times match the current time.
  • the timer may have multiple relays that can be independently controlled.
  • a timer according to the invention may have an interface to an external input device.
  • the input device may be, for example, a computer on which programming software is installed. It is also conceivable that a timer according to the invention is a reading device for a data memory and read the inputs to the switching angles and other inputs via the reading device from a data carrier.
  • the data carrier may have previously been programmed by means of a computer.
  • a time switch according to the invention it is possible for a time switch according to the invention to have a receiver with which signals of a time signal transmitter can be received. It is likewise possible for a time switch according to the invention to have a receiver for signals of a navigation system, in particular of a satellite-supported navigation system.
  • the in the twilight time-time diagram in FIG. 1 The graph shows the twilight duration in minutes for the location on a latitude of 52 ° North as a function of the day of the year shown on the abscissa.
  • the maximum seasonal variation of twilight duration for a location on the 52nd northern parallel is 15.4 min.
  • the longest twilight period is reached at the time of the summer solstice.
  • the shortest twilight period is reached a few days before the beginning of spring and a few days after the beginning of autumn.
  • the in the twilight time-time diagram according to FIG. 2 The graph shows the twilight duration in minutes with a latitude of 60 ° north as a function of the days of the year.
  • the maximum seasonal fluctuation of the twilight duration for a location on the 60th northern parallel is 65.7 min.
  • the solid curve in the diagram after FIG. 3 shows the course of the duty cycle for a conventional Astroschaltuhr during the year. It is assumed that in the evening the electrical load is turned on and off in the morning the electrical load, as is typically the case with lighting systems. Time offset was 33.6 minutes after sunset and 33.6 minutes before sunrise. The timer switches with this offset at 52 ° north latitude only on two days in the year, namely shortly before the beginning of spring and shortly after the beginning of the fall at the very end of the nig Dawn on and in the morning just at the beginning of the civil twilight. On all other days of the year, the switching takes place in the evening earlier, ie before the end of tribu twilight and in the morning later, ie after the onset of irrespective twilight.
  • the in the diagram according to FIG. 3 dashed curve shows the course of the duty cycle for a timer according to the invention with a switching angle of 6 ° below the horizon for a location on the latitude 52 ° latitude north.
  • the switching angle of 6 ° below the horizon switches the switch according to the invention for any location worldwide, including the latitude of 52 ° north all year round at night exactly at the end of stance twilight and in the morning just at the beginning of irrespective twilight. This reduces the annual total duty cycle compared to a conventional astro timer.
  • the reduction of the total annual duty cycle depends on the latitude. This is in particular from the diagram according to FIG. 4 seen. For the from the diagram according to the FIG. 4 apparent comparison, in turn, the settings were chosen so that during the year in the evening exactly or at the latest at the end of reciwilight and in the morning is switched exactly or at the earliest at the beginning of civil twilight.
  • the solid curve in the diagram according to FIG. 4 again shows the course of the turn-on in a conventional Astroschaltuhr with a switching time offset, with a switching time offset of 41.46 minutes is selected, ie that turned on 41.46 minutes after sunset and turned off 41.46 minutes before sunrise.
  • the switching times coincide when using the conventional Astroschaltuhr with this time offset for a location with a latitude of 60 ° north only on two days with the actual beginning in the morning or the actual end evening of civil twilight. These are again the days with the shortest dusk shortly before the beginning of spring and shortly after the beginning of autumn.
  • the dashed curve in the diagram according to the FIG. 4 shows the course of the duty cycle for a timer according to the invention.
  • a switching angle as in the example of FIG. 3 , a switching angle of 6 ° below the horizon is selected.
  • the timer switches with this setting for each location worldwide, including a location on the 60th parallel all year round in the evening at the end of stance twilight and in the morning just at the beginning of irrespective twilight.
  • a possible reduction in the total annual duty cycle of 178.9 h results, which corresponds to an energy saving of 4.7 percent when using a timer according to the invention.
  • a timer according to the invention can be configured so that switched on with a switching angle with respect to the sunrise and off with a switching angle with respect to the sunset.
  • the further embodiment of the switch according to the invention provides further input options, these being attributed to the switching angle.
  • these being attributed to the switching angle.
  • the angular positions of the sun between sunset and the end of a twilight in the evening and the angular positions between the beginning of reci twilight in the morning and sunrise can be mapped on a percentage scale in the range of zero percent to one hundred percent.
  • Zero percent means a switching angle of 0.83 below the horizon, and that the circuit is always exactly at the time of sunrise or sunset.
  • One hundred percent means a switching angle of 6 ° below the horizon, so that the switching times fall on the end of the evening or at the beginning of the morning civil twilight.
  • the 100 percent value was set to an elevation angle of 6 degrees below horizon.
  • the entry of the percentage value is preferably carried out in one-percent increments.
  • the indirect input of the switching angle as angle-proportional average illuminance is another way to make the input of the switching angle for a user more vivid.
  • the input of the average illuminance by the user is preferably in the range of 300 lux to 100 lux in Steps of ten lux, in the range of 99 lux to 10 lux in increments of 1 lux, and in the range of 9.9 to 1 lux in increments of 0.1 lux.
