[Industrial applications]

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wall-mounted switch structure for remote operation, which is advantageous for remote operation of home appliances, lighting, etc.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, it is roughly classified into a wire type remote control device and a wireless type remote control device using infrared rays or the like as means for remotely controlling electric appliances such as air conditioners and televisions.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the wired remote control device has a drawback that complicated construction is required because a long control line must be installed.

Further, in a wireless remote control device, only infrared rays can be controlled within a visual field, and if there is a shield such as a wall between the device to be operated and the operation device, infrared rays from the device are emitted. There is a problem that it is not reached and it is out of control.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional defect. For example, a set radio wave is supplied to a power supply circuit to which a television, an air conditioner, a lighting device, etc. A control unit that opens and closes the power supply circuit by receiving the signal is interposed, and a transmitter that can selectively emit various types of radio waves that are FM-modulated or AM-modulated is provided. An object of the present invention is to provide a wall-mounted switch that can remotely control power connection or power shield operation of a controlled device installed in a room or the like located at a distant position using control radio waves.

Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a wall-mounted switch. The wall-mounted switch 1 has a shape that can be embedded and fixed on a wall surface of a house, for example, like a conventional outlet, and 2 is a cosmetic plate thereof. A mounting bracket 13 is provided on the back side of the decorative plate 2, and a control unit 3 and a manual switch 4 are provided on the mounting bracket 13. The operation piece 5 of the manual switch 4 is It is provided so as to project from the front side of the plate 2 so that switching is performed from the front side of the decorative plate 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the internal configuration of the control unit 3 includes a radio wave reception control unit 6 and a relay 7 which is opened / closed by a control signal from the reception control unit 6.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a transmitter, which has a transmitter circuit capable of transmitting modulated radio waves of a plurality of channels and a plurality of channel selection buttons 9 for switching channels. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pilot lamp that can confirm the operation of each selection button 9.

Reference numeral 11 is a power supply circuit, and 12 is a controlled device for connecting the manual switch 4 and the relay 7 in series to the power supply circuit.

The structure of the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. When a plurality of controlled devices installed in a house are to be remotely controlled, the plurality of controlled devices are A transmitter 8 capable of transmitting radio waves of multiple channels according to the number of control devices 12 is prepared, and each controlled device 12 has a radio wave of a specific channel (radio waves of a specific modulated frequency emitted from the transmitter). ), A wall-mounted switch having a reception control section 6 for receiving operation is separately provided.

Therefore, the wall-mounted switch 1 having the above-described structure which receives only specific radio waves is intervened in, for example, the power supply circuit of the lighting fixture, and the channel selection buttons 9 of the transmitter 8 are provided. From the inside, if the selection button 9 that drives the reception control unit 6 connected to the above-mentioned lighting equipment is selected and operated, the radio wave that can drive the reception control unit 6 is transmitted, and as a result, the lighting equipment is turned on. Alternatively, it can be turned off. Manual operation is also possible by operating the manual switch 4.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation of a plurality of controlled devices can be controlled by using the radio waves of a plurality of channels, so that the floors are different, for example. It is possible to remotely control the controlled equipment installed in the place, and it is possible to perform an advantageous control with a wider application range than the conventional infrared remote control in the visual field.

Since this wall-mounted switch can be installed by replacing it with an embedded switch that is embedded in the wall of a general house, it does not require a special equipment structure and is economical and practical. There is something.

Further, since the transmitter 8 of the above-mentioned embodiment is equipped with the pilot lamp capable of confirming the driving condition of the remotely controlled device, the transmitter 8 is installed at a distant place. It is possible to know the drive status and driven status of the controlled equipment, which is effective in improving safety and energy saving measures.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention receives the radio wave emitted from the remote transmitter 8 and outputs the switch signal, and the reception control unit 6 and the relay 7 that operates by receiving the switch signal to open and close the power to the controlled device 12. Is a wall-mounted switch that is fixed to a mounting bracket 13 that is mounted on a wall. Therefore, according to this, the operation of a specific controlled device is controlled by a specific radio wave selected from radio waves of a plurality of channels. Since it is configured to enable remote control of controlled equipment installed on different floors, it is possible to compare remote control with in-field remote control using infrared rays. Therefore, it is possible to perform advantageous control with a wide range of applications.

Further, since this wall-mounted switch can be installed by replacing it with an embedded switch that is embedded in the wall of a general house, it does not require a special equipment structure and is economical and practical. The effect that there is something is obtained.
