Detailed ways

The utility model provides a switch using a gravitational acceleration sensor, at least one gravitational acceleration sensor (G-SENSOR) and a microprocessor are arranged in the switch body; wherein: the gravitational acceleration sensor is arranged on the switch body Inside, it is used to sense the user's knocking action to generate a corresponding induction signal; and the microprocessor is arranged inside the switch body and is electrically connected with the acceleration of gravity sensor to process the induction from the acceleration of gravity sensor. signal to control related function settings.

In practice, the gravitational acceleration sensor is preferably disposed inside the switch body adjacent to its outer surface, and its action principle generates different induction signals for manipulation according to the direction or times of tapping by the user.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A , which show the first embodiment of the switch using the gravitational acceleration transducer of the present invention. The switch 1 of the present invention includes a body 10 , a gravitational acceleration transducer 12 , a microprocessor 14 , a transmission unit 16 and a screen 18 . As shown in the figure, the gravitational acceleration transducer 12 is arranged inside the switch body 10; the microprocessor 14 is also arranged inside the main body 10 and is electrically connected with the gravitational acceleration transducer 12; the transmission unit 16 It is arranged on the front end of the switch body 10 and is electrically connected with the microprocessor 14 .

In terms of operation, as shown in Figure 2, when the user taps different tap areas 100, 102, 104 on the switch body, according to the position where the user taps, the gravitational acceleration transducer 12 can generate a corresponding The sensing signal 20 at the position is sent to the microprocessor 14 . After the microprocessor 14 recognizes the sensing signal 20 , it will process it to form a control command 22 corresponding to remote control of a specific electrical device, and send the control command 22 to the transmission unit 16 . Finally, the transmission unit 16 transmits the control instruction 22 to the specific electrical equipment 3 for operation.

In this embodiment, the knocking areas 100 , 102 , 104 are respectively located at the right, left and upper edges of the switch body 10 . However, the above setting is only an example. In actual design, in addition to setting two or more knocking areas on a single side, non-edges (such as the top or bottom surface of the switch body) can also be included in the knocking area. scope. In addition, appropriate marks can also be provided on the switch body to mark different tapping areas for the user to distinguish the function represented by each tapping area.

Please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C , which show the use state diagrams of the switch of the present invention. As shown in the figure, when the user knocks on the knocking area 100, the gravitational acceleration transmitter can turn on the power of the electrical equipment to be remotely controlled according to the position of the knocking area 100; When the area 104 is tapped, a function menu 4 composed of a plurality of options 40 will be displayed on the screen 18 . In addition, the user can also adjust the time displayed on the switch itself or on the electrical equipment by tapping on different tapping areas.

In FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C , the menu for controlling the air conditioner is taken as an example. The function menu 4 includes three options 40 : operation mode, time and temperature. At this time, the user can move to the option to be selected by tapping different tapping areas 102 , 104 on the main body 10 and select it. After the user selects the top option 40, the sub-options of the option will be displayed on the screen 18, namely the cooling, heating and dehumidification shown on the screen 18 in FIG. 3C, and the user can continue to select it.

Among them, there are many modes of moving and selecting, which cannot be listed here, and the following two modes are only described as examples. Firstly, when there is only one tapping area, the gravitational acceleration transducer is designed to generate different induction signals according to the tapping times of the user within a specific time (for example, 1 second or several seconds). For example, within 1 second, if the tapping area 100 is tapped once, the electrical equipment to be controlled will be turned on; if it is tapped twice in a row, it will be turned off. In addition, taking the operation of the above-mentioned function menu as an example, if there is only one tapping area 102 , then the sensing of one tapping can be designed to represent the moving menu, and the sensing of two consecutive tappings can represent the selection menu. In addition to the number of taps, it is also possible to control it by the order of the taps; taking the above-mentioned power on and off as an example, if the first tap is sensed, the power will be turned on, and if the second tap is sensed, the power will be turned off .

Second, if more than one tapping area is provided for coordinated manipulation, each tapping area can be controlled by giving different functional definitions. For example, still taking the operation of the above-mentioned function menu as an example, a knocking area 104 can be designed as an induction knocking to move the menu; area 102, the options can be selected. In addition, it can also use three or more knocking areas to coordinate and control, for example, the time on switches or electrical equipment can be adjusted accordingly. The above-mentioned control can also be performed by continuously tapping two or more tapping areas in a certain order, for example tapping the tapping areas 100 , 102 and 104 successively.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B , which show the second embodiment of the switch using the gravitational acceleration transducer of the present invention. Wherein, the switch 2 also includes a body 20 , a gravitational acceleration transducer 22 , a microprocessor 24 and a transmission unit 26 , and three knocking areas 200 , 202 , 204 are arranged on the switch body. The difference from the first embodiment is that the second embodiment has an indicator unit on the outer surface of the main body 20 to display selectable functions on the switch.

In actual operation, only the light sign is used as an example here. As shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the indicating unit 28 has a plurality of lights 280, wherein the lights 280 respectively represent different functions, that is, turning on or off the TV, audio, and selecting a channel (forward or backward) ), or adjust the volume (up or down). When the user knocks on the knocking area 204, the lights 280 can be turned on in turn; when the lights are on, by knocking on another knocking area 202, the function can be selected. Then through the transmission unit 26 to control the target digital appliances.

In summary, according to the content disclosed above, the utility model can indeed achieve the expected purpose of the utility model. It provides a switch with a gravitational acceleration transducer arranged inside the body near the outer surface, so that the user can Action can easily operate the switch, and then control the target electrical equipment.
