Description
Blächenschalter-Helligkeitsregler-Kombination Zusatz zu Patent ..... (Patentanm. P 22 18 980.6-34) Das Hauptpatent bezieht sich auf die Kombination eines großflächigen Wippschalters mit einem elektronischen Helligkeitsregler innerhalb des durch eine normale Unterputz-Einbaudose vorgegebenen AbmessungsbereichsO Dabei liegt der vorausgegangenen Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, für die Einbeziehung des Helligkeitsreglers in ein vorhandenes Installationsprogramm soweit als möglich die hier schon vorhandenen Teile zu verwenden, um die Form einzuhalten und die Herstellungskosten für den Regler herabzusetzen. Area switch / brightness regulator combination Addition to patent ..... (Patent application P 22 18 980.6-34) The main patent relates to the combination of one large rocker switch with an electronic brightness controller inside of the range of dimensions specified by a normal flush-mounted installation box the previous invention is based on the object for the inclusion of the brightness controller into an existing installation program as far as possible to use the parts already available here to maintain the shape and the manufacturing costs for the regulator.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß dem Hauptpatent anstelle des mit einem teuren Druckfolgeschalter ausgestatteten Potentiometers für den Helligkeitsregler einfach ein bereits vorhandener Flächenschalter und ein normales Regelpotentiometer verwendet. Dieses Potentiometer reicht von der rückseitig auf dem Schaltersockel befestigten elektronischen Baueinheit mit seiner Drehachse zentral durch den Wippschalter und dessen Flächenwippe und ist davor mit einem Handbedienungsknopf versehen Auf diese Weise gelangt man zu einer wesentlich billigeren Ausführung, die sich überdies in jeder Weise in das vorhandene Installationsprogramm eingliedert.To solve this problem, instead of according to the main patent of with an expensive pressure sequence switch equipped potentiometer for the brightness controller simply an already existing flat switch and a normal control potentiometer used. This potentiometer extends from the back of the switch base attached electronic unit with its axis of rotation centrally through the rocker switch and its surface rocker and is provided with a manual control button in front of it in this way one arrives at a much cheaper version, which moreover incorporated into the existing installer in every way.
In letzter Zeit ist man dazu übergegangen, die in der Installationstechnik erforderlichen Schaltvorgänge anstelle von mechanisch zu betätigenden Wipp-, Druck- oder Drehschaltern soweit als möglich auf bloße Berührung ansprechenden Steuerorganen zu übertragen0 Ein derartiges Organ setzt die leichte Berührung oder Annäherung der Hand des Bedienenden elektronisch in einen Schaltvorgang um und vermeidet auf diese Weise jegliche bewegliche Schalterbauteile, die dem Verschleiß oder der Verschmutzung unterliegen.Lately there has been a move towards installation technology required switching operations instead of mechanically operated rocker, push buttons or rotary switches as far as possible to mere touch responsive control organs to transfer0 Such an organ implies the slight touch or approach of the operator's hand electronically in a switching process and avoids In this way, any moving switch components that are susceptible to wear or contamination subject.
In dieser Beziehung bietet es sich gemäß einer vorteilhaften eiterbildung des Hauptpatentgegenstandes an, die vorhandene Schaltwippe der Flächenschalter-Helligkeitsregler-Kombination unbeweglich zu machen und als elektronischen Berührungsschalter auszubilden, bei dem die auf seiner Rückseite vorgesehenen Schaltelemente einen ungehinderten Durchgriff der Drehachse des dahinter angebrachten Regelpotentiometers der Schaltungsanordnung zur elektronischen Helligkeitssteuerung ermöglichen. - Aufgrund dessen gelangt man in Übereinstimmung mit der vorangestellten Aufgabe wiederum zu einer Ausführung, die sich weitgehend aus vorhandenen Teilen des Installationsprogramms aufbaut und nach optischen Gesichtspunkten vollkommen in dieses einfügt.In this respect it offers itself according to an advantageous pus formation of the main subject of the patent, the existing rocker switch of the flat switch / brightness regulator combination immobile and used as an electronic touch switch to train in which the switching elements provided on its rear face an unimpeded one The axis of rotation of the control potentiometer of the circuit arrangement attached behind it for electronic brightness control. - Because of that one arrives in accordance with the preceding task in turn to an execution, which is largely based on existing parts of the installation program and fits perfectly into this from an optical point of view.
In zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung dieser Weiterbildung läßt sich das Regelpotentiometer der Helligkeitssteuerelektronik unmittelbar auf der Rückseite des Berührungsschalters oder an einer daran gehalterten Traverse befestigen. Dementsprechend steht dieser Ausführung auch in bezug auf die Montage und Installation innerhalb der Unterputz-inbaudose sehr viel mehr Anschlußraum zur Verfügung, als es bei den bisherigen Ausführungen der Fall ist.In an expedient embodiment of this development, the control potentiometer the brightness control electronics directly on the back of the touch switch or attach to a traverse held on it. This stands accordingly Execution also with regard to the assembly and installation within the flush-mounted installation box Much more connection space is available than in the previous versions the case is.
In schaltungstechnischer Beziehung bietet sich bei dieser Kombination von zwei gesonderten elektronischen Schaltungsanordnungen die Möglichkeit, den als Schaltelement des Berührungsschalters vorgesehenen Thyristor gleichzeitig als Steuerelement für die Helligkeitsregelung zu verwenden. Insofern lassen sich auch hier durch eine Mehrfachausnutzung von Funktionselementen in vorteilhafter Weise benötigter Raum und Kosten sparen.In terms of circuitry, this combination offers itself of two separate electronic circuit arrangements the possibility of the as Switching element of the touch switch provided thyristor at the same time as a control element to be used for brightness control. In this respect, a Multiple use of functional elements in an advantageous manner required space and save costs.
Das aus der anliegenden Zeichnung ersichtliche Ausführungsbeispiel betreffend, kann sich dieses auf die Darstellung einer Außenansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination des Berührungsschalters und des Helligkeitsreglers beschränken, da die "innere" Zusammenstellung der elektronischen Bausteine und des Regelpotentiometers in konstruktiver Hinsicht keine Besonderheiten enthältO Insofern nimmt der rückseitig auf das in der Unterputzdose verspreizte Tragorgan aufgesteckte Abdeckrahmen 1 innerhalb seiner Aussparung die gesamte Baueinheit 2 des Berührungsschalters passend in sich auf. Diese auf ihrer Rückseite mit den erforderlichen Leitungsanschlüssen versehene Baueinheit wird von der Achse des Potentiometers der Anordnung zur Helligkeitssteuerung durchgriffen, auf welche dann unmittelbar vor der "Berührungsplatte" der Bedienungsknopf 3 aufgesteckt ist. Dementsprechend lassen sich die verschiedenen Bauteile der Kombination aus Berührungsschalter und Helligkeitsregler beim Einbau ohne besondere Hilfsmittel aneinander befestigen und bei Bedarf ebenso leicht wieder demontieren.The embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing Concerning, this can refer to the representation of an external view of the invention Restrict the combination of the touch switch and the dimmer, as the "Inner" arrangement of the electronic components and the control potentiometer in terms of construction does not contain any special features. In this respect, the rear takes on the spreading support member in the flush-mounted box cover frame 1 within its recess, the entire structural unit 2 of the touch switch fits into itself on. These are provided with the required line connections on their back The unit is from the axis of the potentiometer of the arrangement for brightness control penetrated, on which then immediately in front of the "touch panel" of the control button 3 is attached. Accordingly, the various components of the combination consisting of a touch switch and a brightness regulator when installing without special aids fasten together and just as easily dismantle again if necessary.
