Definitions

  • This invention consists in a light-signalling system built into switches to show the position and/or status of the installation, machine or circuit they control.
  • control switches govern other main power switches, using lights to identify the status of the circuits by means of lighting systems.
  • the document DE 10 2008 035458 A1 discloses an operation panel for an air-condition system in a vehicle (see figures 1, 2A, 2B ) with control elements 4, 5 for an user input for adjustable air-conditioning functions and elements 6, 7 for visual indication of the function selection and the setpoint and/or actual value of the selected function.
  • a control circuit 3 is connected to and receives user input via the control elements 4, 5 and to is connected and generates output to the elements 6, 7 for visual indication, such that the displayed visual indication is associated with the state of the control elements.
  • the document US 2005/155159 A1 relates to an appliance controller for a washing machine comprising a main controller module with an user cycle selector (see e.g. figure 28), wherein the user cycle selector is rotated by the user in order to select a particular operating cycle of the washing machine (i.e. a selected appliance cycle).
  • a particular operating cycle of the washing machine i.e. a selected appliance cycle.
  • individual LEDs 307 are alternately lit depending on and in accordance with the direction of rotation of the user cycle selector and the speed of rotation.
  • the processor 60 generates position signals for the individual LEDs 307 depending on the direction of rotation of the user cycle selector and the rate of rotation. The position signals are used to light and turn off the appropriate LEDs.
  • the appropriate or next LED is lit while the previously lit LED is turned off.
  • the user puts the washing machine into the cycle operation mode by pushing the control knob inwardly toward the overlay 388.
  • the document US 5 710 544 A relates to an operation state display apparatus and a displaying method thereof capable of displaying an operation state of an electric appliance with a shuttle switch and providing a more fashionable product by providing an improved display unit, which includes a shuttle switch for producing a certain code signal in accordance with its turn in leftward direction or rightward directions; a microprocessor for recognizing a code signal outputted from the shuttle switch, for outputting a control signal corresponding to the thusly recognized code signal, and for controlling a control object; and a display unit enabled by a control signal outputted from the microprocessor for displaying an operation state of the control object in accordance with an operation of the shuttle switch.
  • This invention aims to provide a light-signalling system, suitable for combination with a switch, corresponding to a control with fitted lights, which by using signals that are external or internal to the command-switch assembly, make changes in the lighting mode according to programmed parameters, so that it is possible to signal either the position of the control, status of the installation, machine or circuit, or both options at once and in a simple and economic manner.
  • This invention is materialised in a light-signalling system that can be fitted to switches with an illuminated control device that carries out a change in lighting according to the signals captured internally or received from outside, according to the configuration of the module that governs the parameters for the changes of this type of lighting.
  • these signals can be internal, such as the detection of the functional position of said control, and/or external signals such as the impulses generated by elements that indicate the status of elements in the installation, machine or circuit it is connected to.
  • a certain lighting mode is established, either no lighting, lit in a certain colour, flashing or even acoustic devices can be fitted to add sound to the signals received.
  • the light-signalling system is fitted to the switch with means to disconnect it in case of maintenance.
  • the light-signalling system has a system for changing the lighting mode, which receives at least one signal from components external or internal to the light-signalling system and the switch, connected to said lighting changing system, which, according to the programming of its electronic circuits, will implement a certain type of lighting.
  • This connection can be direct for internal signals or through a module connection terminal strip for external signals.
  • Each of the signals in the lighting mode change system is associated to a certain lighting mode, according to the needs of the installation, machine or circuit, the change in lighting mode happens automatically whenever there is a signal. These changes can be switching on or off the lighting, changing the colour of the light, flashing the light or even changing colour while flashing, as well as acoustic signals.
  • Configuration of lighting modes governed by the lighting mode change system is carried out according to the user's criteria, and the lighting mode assigned to each of the signals received by the system can be changed according to needs. This configuration is carried out by programming the electronic circuit in the lighting mode change system.
  • this signal will preferably correspond to the signal generated by the means to detect the position of the control, therefore, according to its position, these means for detecting position will send a signal that will depend on the position, so that when the lighting mode change system receives the signal, it will change the lighting to the pre-established configuration for this new position.
  • one or more external signals are connected to the lighting mode change system, they will connect preferably through an exterior terminal strip, with the elements that act as controllers of the status of the installation, machine or circuit, such as PLCs, thermocouples or any other element generating a sustained electrical impulse, so as to indicate the status, excess temperature, status of a motor connected to a circuit, etc., several of them can be connected to the lighting mode change system, each of them having preferably an input on the terminal strip, and for each signal received from each of them, the lighting mode change system has an assigned lighting mode, by programming the electronic circuit.
  • the external terminal strip will have as many connections as signals are to be received in the lighting mode change system.
  • the lighting mode change system can in turn have at least one internal signal connection corresponding to the means for detecting the position of the control, and at least one connection to components external to the switch and the light-signalling system.
  • These lighting modes can be accompanied by an acoustic effect produced by means built into the lighting module, as a complement to the illuminated signals.
  • the configuration of the lighting mode change system can be reprogrammed to change the association of each of the inputs of the external or internal signals to the assigned lighting mode.
  • the light-signalling system comprising a casing that contains means to attach to the switch, with a control that enables the lighting mode produced by the interior lighting devices to be viewed, governed by at least one system to change the lighting mode that has at least one signal input, which can be either internal and/or external to the switch and the light-signalling system.
  • This enables the user to have information on the status of the installation, machine or circuit where it is installed in a simple and economic manner, configuring the lighting modes emitted by the light-signalling system according to the user's specifications and replacing complex and costly systems with columns of light signals or pilot light installations.
  • This system is made as a modular system, in which the light-signalling system is designed to fit to different standard switches, although this needs the incorporation of an extension of the control shaft to attach to the movement with the switch shaft.
  • the switch control is preferably made of material that lets light through it, normally plastic, to allow the installation of means to generate light inside the module, and which can be transmitted by means of the control, lighting up the control for each of its positions.
  • Other solutions are possible, as long as this lighting is provided and the changes in lighting mode can be seen by the user.
  • the means for lighting are preferably LEDs located in their specific housing.
  • the LEDs are fitted in such a manner to ensure that the failure of one of them will not affect the safety of the installation or the failure of the module itself, falsifying the visual information provided by the device, so there are several series of parallel LEDs, so that in case of a failure, the module will still light up. This considerably increases the life of the device and its safety in comparison to current devices.
  • the switch control for that the light-signalling system is suitable to be incorporated into may incorporate means to carry out physical locking of the position by means of a padlock or similar element, to insure that the control position cannot be altered.
  • the operating procedure incorporated into the light-signalling system for switches is based on its connection in the installation, machine or circuit, so that the system for changing the lighting mode will execute actions on the lights.
  • the different functional positions of the control corresponding to the physical positions, are assigned a specific lighting mode and they are the means to detect the position of the control, and/or the impulses of the elements of the circuit that register its status, those that act sending signals about the lighting mode change module.
  • the light-signalling system (10) is fitted to a switch (11), which executes the operations carried out by the control (12).
  • the light-signalling system (10) has means for attachment (15), normally fasteners, allowing it to be detached from the switch (11) for maintenance or replacement. To attach it, the switch shaft must coincide with the control shaft (12) of the light-signalling system (10), as well as with the rest of elements depend on each other.
  • the light-signalling system (10) comprises a casing (20) made of plastic material or the like, covering the elements inside the system (10).
  • This control (12) is formed by a component that in this embodiment is triangular in section, although other shapes are possible, where the inner and outer faces of the control (12) are made in such a way that they are translucent, so that light emitted by the series of LEDs (18) that act as means of lighting can be clearly seen and which are in the housing (19).
  • the series of LEDs (18) are housed (19) inside the casing (20), in areas where the light can be transmitted to the control (12).
  • the LEDs (18) are commonly distributed so that they form different series of several LEDs (18), these series are placed in parallel, providing extended service life to the module (10) and guaranteeing correct operation.
  • These series of LEDs (18) are powered and governed by the lighting mode change system (13), which has an electronic circuit (14) that receives the signals, which in this first embodiment (as shown in Figure 3 ) are only internal to the switch (11) and light-signalling assembly (10), such as the signals received by the means (22) for detecting the control position, which correspond to sensors strategically placed in the operating positions of the control (12), which emit a sustained electrical impulse when the control is positioned over a strategic position of the detecting sensor, such as for example those carried out by the magnetic sensors.
  • the system for changing the lighting mode (13) stems from an aerial connection (21) by means of a terminal strip, that is connected to the circuit (14), and to these connections (21) of the terminal strip the components (24) of the installation that control or enable the user to know the status of the installation, such as PLCs, thermocouples, or any other element generating a sustained electrical impulse are connected, indicating the status, excessive temperature, the state of a motor connected to the circuit, lack of power of any component, etc.
  • the circuit (14) is programmed to execute a specific lighting mode in the LEDs (18), which on receiving another signal, will change to this new mode of lighting.
  • a sound can be produced from the sound production devices (23). This associates the type of signal, its input, and the programming of changes in lighting mode.
  • the lighting mode change system incorporates internal and external signals, the external ones coming from the connection (21) through the terminals strip to which the components (24) of the installation are connected, detectors (22) of control (12) position are also connected to the circuit (14). Its operation, similar to the previous, allows the functions of the previous two embodiments to be integrated into a single one, where it is possible to grant signalling priorities to internal signals or vice versa, associating different lighting modes (colours, absence of lighting, flashing and/or sounds) to each of these signals.
  • the electronic circuit (14) can be designed to operate connected to a DC or AC circuit.
  • the switch (11) incorporates means for the physical locking (16) of the position of the control (12), by means of padlocks or similar devices.
