Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a light blinking control device, and more particularly to a light blinking control device that causes a controlled object, such as a light, to blink by remote control operation.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, remote control devices (hereinafter abbreviated as "remote controls") and the like have been used for remote control of electric lights and the like.

This remote control can be used to control audio devices such as audio-visual (AV) devices, air conditioners (air conditioners, coolers), etc.
It is possible to control starting, menu selection, stopping, etc. of household electrical appliances such as.

This remote control is provided with an infrared signal generation section, and an infrared signal detection section is provided on the side of the main body of the audio device or air conditioner that is to be controlled.

Therefore, in a control device using such a remote control, a controlled object can be controlled by an infrared signal sent from an infrared signal generating section to an infrared signal detecting section. There are also systems that use ultrasonic signals to control objects in the same way as infrared rays.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above device, since the controlled object is controlled by an infrared signal and an ultrasonic signal, there is a problem that the control cannot be performed unless the remote control is pointed in a certain direction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electric light blinking control device that allows a wall switch to easily blink even if it is hidden behind furniture or the like.

[Means for Achieving the Object 1] As a means for achieving the above object, the present invention provides a switch circuit that connects a main switch and a sub-switch to be controlled during operation, and a switch circuit that connects a main switch and a sub-switch to be controlled during operation, and a A pulse generating circuit that generates pulses, a transmitting section that transmits the signal output from this pulse generating circuit using a transmitting antenna, a receiving section that receives the signal transmitted from this transmitting section, and a signal that is output from this receiving section. It is composed of a counting circuit that counts signals, and an operation circuit that causes the controlled object to blink or the like based on the signal output from this counting circuit.

[Operation] By setting the subswitch to be controlled as a desired switch and operating the main switch, the pulse generation circuit is activated, and the output pulse signal is modulated and transmitted through the antenna.

After the transmitted signal is modulated by the receiving section, the signal output from the receiving section is counted by a counting circuit, and the controlled object is caused to blink, etc. based on the signal output from this counting circuit. .

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 are perspective views showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a transmitter, and the transmitter 1 includes a main switch 2 (hereinafter referred to as M-3W), a sub switch 3
(hereinafter referred to as 5UB-3W), an antenna 4 is provided on the outer surface. The transmitter 1 also includes a battery 11, which is provided inside the circuit shown in FIG.

The transmitter 1 is made of synthetic resin or metal, and has a size that allows it to be held in one hand for transmission operations, for example, in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped.

The main switch M-3W2 in FIG. 1 corresponds to the switch 12 in FIG. 4, and is connected to the input terminal of the pulse generation circuit 4 in FIG. 4 by conducting the normally open contact of 5UB-3W3 in FIG. 4. .

Therefore, since the common terminal of the main switch M-3W2 is connected to the + side of the battery, power is supplied by pressing the main switch M-3W2, and the pulse generating circuit 14 operates.

On the other hand, the number of output terminals of the pulse generation circuit 14 corresponds to the positions of the sub switches 5UB-3W, for example, 3, 5, 8.
．． Outputs 12 pulses and sends them to F via the transmitting circuit 15.
A signal corresponding to the number of pulses is oscillated as an M wave through the antenna 16.

On the other hand, in the configuration of the receiving side, first, the receiving section 5 shown in FIG. 2 is suspended from an outlet provided on the ceiling via the connecting piece 6,
A light socket part 8 is suspended from the lower part of the outlet via a connecting piece 7.

Next, the receiving section will be explained in more detail.

The receiving section 5 consists of circuits shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and is provided inside the receiving section 5.
Connect to looV. In addition, the receiving section is connected to a wall switch (
Only when the switch (not shown) is turned on, power is supplied through the normally open contact 32 of the switch. Then, the signal oscillated from the transmitting section to the receiving side is sent to the antenna 2.
Received at 1.

As described above, the FM signal oscillated from the transmitter is
The signal passes through a tuning circuit 22 and is shaped into a square wave by a double modulation circuit 23.

The signal counting circuit 24 inputs and counts this waveform-shaped signal.

Then, the signal counting circuit 24 outputs the counting result to a terminal corresponding to the number. Next, the output from the desired output terminal of the signal counting circuit 24 is input to the flip-flop circuit 25 (hereinafter referred to as FF) via the drive circuit 28, and the FF circuit 25 to which the signal has been input receives the input signal. Inverts the previous state. Therefore, state retention is FF
This is maintained until the next signal is input to the circuit 25.

On the other hand, when the FF circuit 25 kept in the ON state applies an output to the gate of the triac 31 to activate the triac, a current flows to the coil of the DClooV relay 30 through the normally open contact 32 of the wall switch (not shown). .

For this reason, the relay 30 of DClooV operates and closes the normally open contact 42 of the relay 30, so the electric light is turned on at AC100V.
It lights up by making the supply circuit to the power supply conductive.

On the other hand, when the FF circuit 25 that was in the ON state receives the next signal, it is reversed to the OFF state, and the normally open contact 4 of the relay 30
2 and cuts off the supply circuit to the AC 100V power supply for the light, so the light can be turned off. Therefore, when the light blinking control device of the present application is installed, the wall switch is always turned on.
It is necessary to keep it in the N state.

Furthermore, the output of the pulsed signal modulated into FM waves is adjusted so that it can be received within a range of 10 meters.

As described above, in this embodiment, there is no influence on the outside, and the receiving section identifies the passing modulation wave from FM as 3°5.8.12. Therefore, the difference in the number of signals between signals is 2.3
．． 4, and the signals can be clearly distinguished. Therefore, there is no erroneous discrimination between signals, the influence of external noise is reduced, and malfunctions can be eliminated.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present application is configured as described above, it produces the following effects.

When deciding on the placement of furniture, etc., taking into account the effective use of space in the room and the aesthetics of the room, the wall switch installed near the entrance becomes hidden behind the furniture and gets in the way, making manual operation impossible. However, it can be easily turned on and off by a simple switching operation.
