Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dimmer with a rotatable knob and a square knob surrounding the control panel.
  • Dimmers are used, among other things, to continuously change the sacredness of a connected light source. As a rule, the user relies on the visual impression and adjusts the brightness of the light source or the power to be emitted by the dimmer as per feeling.
  • EP 0 516 008 B1 describes a dimmer which has a display field for the percentage of the respective load value of the dimmer.
  • buttons for switching the connected consumer on and off and for adjusting the load value are arranged in the Zentrafsche ⁇ be, which forming a front panel. A rotating knob is not provided with this dimmer.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a dimmer with rotating SteÜknopf that allows additional functions without a major change in the appearance.
  • the dimmer according to the invention is characterized by the claim 1.
  • the front panel has at least one key element for switching on a function or parameter of the dimmer.
  • a function or parameter of the dimmer For example, retrieve and adjust a Helitechnikswert by pressing a probe element, without the knob should be rotated.
  • an upper dimming limit which can then not be exceeded by turning the knob.
  • Another function that can be activated by a front panel button is to turn on and turn off an orientation light.
  • the at least one probe element consists of a region of the front plate.
  • the probe element is preferably a motionless button, z.
  • a capacitive or inductive probe which is actuated by approaching a finger.
  • the appearance of the dimmer is not significantly affected by the button.
  • a mechanical button can be used.
  • the feeler elements can be arranged in corners of the front panel or on other parts, for example in the positions 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock.
  • At least one probe element can be provided for the activation of a brightness value independently of the rotational position of the adjusting knob. It is possible to selectively call a brightness value by tapping the probe element, without the user would have to visit this brightness by regulating the knob. At least one probe element can be provided for activating an upper dimming limit. This is an energy-saving feature that sets the maximum brightness that can be set to 80%, for example. It is also possible to adjust the upper dimming limit by the user, for example, by pressing one of the sensing elements over a longer period of time.
  • the Frontpiatte contains a luminous band whose luminous length indicates the respective brightness value.
  • the term "light strip" also includes a thin strip of light.
  • the light strip may consist of segment sections or individual light sources, eg. B. LEDs, exist.
  • the light strip is arranged in a circle around the adjusting knob and recessed in the front panel.
  • the light strip allows the user to easily recognize the set brightness. It forms a brightness analog display.
  • the light band can also form an orientation light, making it easier to find the dimmer switched off in the dark.
  • 1 is a perspective view of the dimmer
  • Fig. 3 is a functional representation of the dimmer
  • the dimmer shown has a viewing frame 10 which is mounted pre set a wall.
  • the viewing frame 10 is quadrangular in front view and it contains a window 11 which is flush closed by a front panel 12.
  • the rectangular or square front plate 12 carries a Zentr ⁇ schen knob 13, whose axis is perpendicular to the plane of the front panel 12.
  • the adjusting knob 13 can be rotated to adjust the brightness of a lamp connected to the dimmer or also pressed to perform a switching operation.
  • the viewing frame 10 obscures the metallic support frame 14 ( Figure 2), which carries a pedestal 15 on its back and can be inserted into a standard wall box 16 and is flush against the front of the wall.
  • the sock! 15 is provided at its front with a multiple contact socket 17 and a guide member 18.
  • At the back of the front panel 12 are pins 19, which fit into the multiple contact socket 17 and a guide 20 which cooperates with the effetsste ⁇ l 18 in order to pre-position the front plate 12 in the correct position the base 15 can.
  • the front panel 12 includes on its rear side electrical circuits to which the contact pins 19 are connected. There is an exclusively electrical connection of the front panel 12 with the base 15 via the contact pins 19. Movements or mechanical adjustments are not transmitted.
  • the front panel 12 holds the viewing frame 10 to the base 15 firmly.
  • each of the key elements here consists of a non-contact switch which is integrated in the one-piece front panel, however, mechanically movable feeler elements can also be provided.
  • the two upper sensing elements Tl and T2 are characterized by relief-like double webs to be able to feel the position of the feeler elements.
  • By appropriate identifications and the lower sensing elements T3 and T4 can be marked.
  • Around the cylindrical steep knob 13 around a circular light band 30 is inserted into the front panel 12. This light strip serves as a display and lighting device for the dimmer.
  • Figure 3 shows by the white actuating arrows the different types of operation of the dimmer or the scanning elements, wherein the functions are indicated.
  • the tactile elements T1 and T2 serve for the rapid setting of brightness values. By pressing one of the two scanning elements, a light value stored for this scanning element is called up, for example for the scanning element T1 the light value 30% and for the scanning element T2 the light value 50%. If a probe element is pressed longer than, for example, 2 s, the light value currently set on the adjusting knob 13 is stored for this probe element.
  • the probe element T3 serves as an off switch for an orientation light function. In this case, a certain section of the light strip 30 is activated in order to find the dimmer in the dark can. This function is only possible when the dimmer is switched off.
  • the key element T4 is used to define an upper dimming limit, which limits the dimming range, for example to 80% of the maximum possible sanctity value. This is an energy-saving function.
  • the upper dimming limit can be fixed or also selectable by the user, similar to the brightness values which are set by the feeler elements T1 and T2.
  • FIG. 4 shows various luminous states of the light strip 30, the luminous part of the light strip being shown in black.
