本發明提供一種可減少操作部的數量以達到小型化之目的的負載控制器。The present invention provides a load controller that can reduce the number of operating portions for miniaturization.

以下，針對將本發明之負載控制器應用於可調光控制的照明器具的控制動作的實施態樣，參照圖式進行說明。Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the load controller of the present invention is applied to a lighting device for dimming control will be described with reference to the drawings.

(實施態樣1)(Implementation 1)

1.負載控制器1的構造1. Construction of load controller 1

針對實施態樣1的負載控制器1參照圖1~圖6進行說明。另外，在以下的說明當中只要並未特別指明，則負載控制器1的長度方向為圖2(a)的上下方向，負載控制器1的寬度方向為圖2(a)的左右方向。另外，負載控制器1的前方向為圖2(b)的左方向，負載控制器1的後方向為圖2(b)的右方向。The load controller 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6 . In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the longitudinal direction of the load controller 1 is the vertical direction of FIG. 2(a), and the width direction of the load controller 1 is the horizontal direction of FIG. 2(a). Further, the front direction of the load controller 1 is the left direction of FIG. 2(b), and the rear direction of the load controller 1 is the right direction of FIG. 2(b).

圖1係實施態樣1的負載控制器1的方塊圖。負載控制器1用來控制可調光控制的LED照明器具100的動作。1 is a block diagram of a load controller 1 of an embodiment 1. The load controller 1 is used to control the operation of the dimmable control LED lighting fixture 100.

本實施態樣的負載控制器1，如圖2(a)、(b)所示的，具備：操作部20，其設有操作者操作負載(在本實施態樣中為LED照明器具100)用的操作面26；以及感測器19，其測定操作面26上的操作者的動作。再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，如圖1所示的，具備信號處理部11，其具有根據感測器19所測定到的操作者的動作而控制負載的負載控制部的功能。另外，負載控制器1亦可具備複數個操作部20。亦即，負載控制器1只要具備至少1個操作部20即可。As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the load controller 1 of the present embodiment includes an operation unit 20 provided with an operator operation load (in the present embodiment, the LED lighting apparatus 100). An operating surface 26 is used; and a sensor 19 that measures the motion of the operator on the operating surface 26. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment includes a signal processing unit 11 having a function of a load control unit that controls a load based on an operation of an operator measured by the sensor 19. . Further, the load controller 1 may include a plurality of operation units 20. In other words, the load controller 1 only needs to have at least one operation unit 20.

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，則對負載實施第1控制，若感測器19所測定到的動作為與第1動作相異的第2動作，則對負載實施與第1控制相異的第2控制。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation, the load is subjected to the first control, and the operation measured by the sensor 19 is different from the first operation. In the second operation, the second control that is different from the first control is applied to the load.

亦即，負載控制部11判定感測器19所測定到的動作是第1動作或第2動作。負載控制部11若判定感測器19所測定到的動作是第1動作，則實施第1控制。負載控制部11若判定感測器19所測定到的動作是第2動作，則實施第2控制。In other words, the load control unit 11 determines that the motion measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation or the second operation. When the load control unit 11 determines that the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation, the load control unit 11 executes the first control. When the load control unit 11 determines that the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation, the load control unit 11 performs the second control.

在本實施態樣中，第1動作，係指操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作。換言之，第1動作係指所謂的點擊操作。In the present embodiment, the first operation refers to an operation in which the operator does not move the contact position with the operation surface 26 and touches the operation surface 26 for a predetermined period. In other words, the first action refers to a so-called click operation.

在本實施態樣中，第2動作係指操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作。例如，第2動作係指操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著負載控制器1的寬度方向移動的動作。亦即，第2動作係指所謂的拖曳操作、滑動操作、拂動操作。In the present embodiment, the second operation refers to an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26. For example, the second operation refers to an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in the width direction of the load controller 1 . That is, the second operation refers to a so-called drag operation, a slide operation, and a tilt operation.

另外，第1動作以及第2動作並不限於上述的例子。只要第1動作以及第2動作係可彼此區別的動作即可。Further, the first operation and the second operation are not limited to the above examples. The first operation and the second operation may be different from each other.

負載控制部10使LED照明器具100的狀態在第1狀態ST1、第2狀態ST2、第3狀態ST3之間遷移(參照圖6)。The load control unit 10 causes the state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 to move between the first state ST1, the second state ST2, and the third state ST3 (see FIG. 6).

第1狀態ST1係LED照明器具100熄滅的狀態(亦即，熄滅狀態)。The first state ST1 is a state in which the LED lighting apparatus 100 is turned off (that is, the extinguished state).

第2狀態ST2係LED照明器具100以第1調光位準點亮的狀態。第1調光位準，例如，係可獲得LED照明器具100的光輸出的最大值的15%的光輸出的調光位準。因此，第2狀態ST2可稱為調光點亮狀態。The second state ST2 is a state in which the LED lighting apparatus 100 is lit at the first dimming level. The first dimming level is, for example, a dimming level of a light output of 15% of the maximum value of the light output of the LED lighting fixture 100. Therefore, the second state ST2 can be referred to as a dimming lighting state.

第3狀態ST1係LED照明器具100以第2調光位準點亮的狀態。另外，第2調光位準係與第1調光位準相異的調光位準。第2調光位準，例如，係照明器具的光輸出為最大的調光位準的最大值。亦即，第3狀態ST1可稱為完全點亮狀態。The third state ST1 is a state in which the LED lighting apparatus 100 is lit at the second dimming level. Further, the second dimming level is a dimming level different from the first dimming level. The second dimming level, for example, is that the light output of the lighting fixture is the maximum value of the maximum dimming level. That is, the third state ST1 can be referred to as a fully lit state.

在本實施態樣中，第1控制係使負載驅動或停止的控制。另外，第2控制係改變負載的輸出位準的控制。In the present embodiment, the first control system controls the load to be driven or stopped. In addition, the second control system changes the control of the output level of the load.

尤其，在本實施態樣中，負載係指照明器具的其中一種，亦即LED照明器具100。負載控制部11以在第1控制中使負載(LED照明器具100)點亮或熄滅的方式構成。具體而言，第1控制，係使負載受到驅動的控制，包含使負載以第1調光位準點亮的控制(點亮控制)。另外，第1控制，係使負載停止的控制，包含使負載熄滅的控制(熄滅控制)。In particular, in the present embodiment, the load refers to one of the lighting fixtures, that is, the LED lighting fixture 100. The load control unit 11 is configured to turn on or off the load (the LED lighting apparatus 100) in the first control. Specifically, the first control is a control for driving the load, and includes control (lighting control) for turning the load on the first dimming level. Further, the first control is a control for stopping the load, and includes control for extinguishing the load (extinguishing control).

輸出位準，係照明器具(LED照明器具100)的調光位準。亦即，負載控制部11以在第2控制中改變負載(LED照明器具100)的調光位準的方式構成。第2控制係改變負載的調光位準的控制(調光控制)。在本實施態樣中，第2控制包含：將負載的調光位準從第2調光位準變更至第1調 光位準的第1調光控制，以及將負載的調光位準從第1調光位準變更至第2調光位準的第2調光控制。The output level is the dimming level of the lighting fixture (LED lighting fixture 100). In other words, the load control unit 11 is configured to change the dimming level of the load (the LED lighting apparatus 100) in the second control. The second control system changes the control of the dimming level of the load (dimming control). In this embodiment, the second control includes changing the dimming level of the load from the second dimming level to the first tune. The first dimming control of the light level and the second dimming control for changing the dimming level of the load from the first dimming level to the second dimming level.

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，且負載熄滅(圖6的ST1)，便實施點亮控制。藉此，負載控制部11使負載以第1調光位準點亮(圖6的ST2)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第1狀態ST1遷移至第2狀態ST2(圖6的P1)。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation and the load is extinguished (ST1 in Fig. 6), the lighting control is performed. Thereby, the load control unit 11 causes the load to be lit at the first dimming level (ST2 in FIG. 6). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the first state ST1 to the second state ST2 (P1 of FIG. 6).

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，且負載點亮(圖6的ST2或ST3)，便實施熄滅控制。藉此，負載控制部11使負載熄滅(圖6的ST1)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第2狀態ST2或第3狀態ST3遷移至第1狀態ST1(圖6的P4或P5)。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation and the load is turned on (ST2 or ST3 in Fig. 6), the extinguishing control is performed. Thereby, the load control unit 11 turns off the load (ST1 of FIG. 6). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the second state ST2 or the third state ST3 to the first state ST1 (P4 or P5 in FIG. 6).

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，且負載以第1調光位準點亮(圖6的ST2)，便實施第1調光控制。藉此，負載控制部11使負載以第2調光位準點亮(圖6的ST3)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第2狀態ST2遷移至第3狀態ST3(圖6的P2)。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation and the load is turned on at the first dimming level (ST2 in FIG. 6), the first dimming control is performed. Thereby, the load control unit 11 causes the load to be lit at the second dimming level (ST3 in FIG. 6). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the second state ST2 to the third state ST3 (P2 of FIG. 6).

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，且負載以第2調光位準點亮(圖6的ST3)，便實施第2調光控制。藉此，負載控制部11使負載以第1調光位準點亮(圖6的ST2)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第3狀態ST3遷移至第2狀態ST2(圖6的P3)。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation and the load is turned on at the second dimming level (ST3 in FIG. 6), the second dimming control is performed. Thereby, the load control unit 11 causes the load to be lit at the first dimming level (ST2 in FIG. 6). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the third state ST3 to the second state ST2 (P3 of FIG. 6).

Whether the part is touched by a finger (human body).

另外於信號處理部11預先登錄了各觸碰感測器12的位置資訊。然後，當操作者以手指觸碰操作部20時，信號處理部11根據最先檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，以及最後檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，求得觸碰操作部20的手指的移動量。Further, the position information of each touch sensor 12 is registered in advance in the signal processing unit 11. Then, when the operator touches the operation portion 20 with a finger, the signal processing portion 11 is based on the position information of the touch sensor 12 that first detected the finger touch, and the touch sensor that finally detected the finger touch. The position information of 12 is used to determine the amount of movement of the finger touching the operation unit 20.

若該移動量比既定的閾值更小，信號處理部11便判斷操作者對操作部20的操作動作為點擊操作，若上述的移動量在既定的閾值以上，信號處理部11便判斷操作者對操作部20的操作動作為拂動操作。When the amount of movement is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the signal processing unit 11 determines that the operator's operation operation on the operation unit 20 is a click operation, and if the amount of movement is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the signal processing unit 11 determines the operator's right. The operation of the operation unit 20 is a slamming operation.

在此，以信號處理部11的運算功能與觸碰感測器12，分別實現檢測出操作者對操作部20的點擊操作的第1檢測部，以及檢測出操作者對操作部20的拂動操作的第2檢測部。另外，上述的閾值，係可視為手指並未移動之程度的數值，係預先設定好的。Here, the arithmetic function of the signal processing unit 11 and the touch sensor 12 respectively realize the first detecting unit that detects the click operation of the operator on the operation unit 20, and the operator's movement of the operation unit 20 is detected.

When the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation, the first control is performed on the load, and when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation different from the first operation, the second operation is performed. The second control that is different from the first control is applied to the load.

再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第1特徴之上，更可謂具有以下的第2特徴。第2特徴係：第1動作為操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作；第2動作為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作。另外，第2特徴為任意特徴。Further, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following second feature on the first feature. The second characteristic is that the first operation is an operation in which the operator touches the operation surface 26 without touching the contact position with the operation surface 26, and the second operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26. . In addition, the second feature is an arbitrary feature.

如以上所述的，在第1檢測部(由信號處理部11以及觸碰感測器12所構成)檢測出點擊操作時，以及在第2檢測部(由信號處理部11以及觸碰感測器12所構成)檢測出拂動操作時，負載控制部(信號處理部11)會進行不同的負載控制。As described above, when the first detecting unit (constructed by the signal processing unit 11 and the touch sensor 12) detects the click operation and the second detecting unit (the signal processing unit 11 and the touch sensing) When the sway operation is detected, the load control unit (signal processing unit 11) performs different load control.

如是，由於對同一操作部20進行點擊操作或拂動操作，便可實現不同的負載控制，故比起分別設置用來實行不同負載控制的操作部的情況而言，可減少操作部20的數量。因此，可實現負載控制器1的小型化，並可提高設計度。在本實施態樣中係將同一負載控制成不同的控制狀態，以實行不同的負載控制，惟亦可藉由點擊操作或是拂動操作分別對不同負載進行負載控制。If the click operation or the slamming operation is performed on the same operation unit 20, different load control can be realized. Therefore, the number of the operation units 20 can be reduced as compared with the case where the operation units for performing different load control are separately provided. . Therefore, the miniaturization of the load controller 1 can be achieved, and the degree of design can be improved. In this embodiment, the same load is controlled to different control states to implement different load control, but load control of different loads may be separately performed by clicking operation or shaking operation.

另外，第1動作亦可為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作，第2動作亦可為操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作。亦即，第1動作與第2動作的其中一方係操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作，而第1動作與第2動作的另一方係操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作，如是亦可。Further, the first operation may be an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26, and the second operation may be such that the operator does not move the contact position with the operation surface 26 and touches the operation surface 26 for a predetermined period. action. In other words, in one of the first operation and the second operation, the operator does not move the contact position with the operation surface 26, and the operation surface 26 is touched for a predetermined period of time, and the other operation of the first operation and the second operation is performed. The action of moving the contact position with the operation surface 26 may be performed.

另外在本實施態樣的負載控制器1中，負載控制部11的負載係可調光控制的照明器具。當第1檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出點擊操作時，負載控制部(信號處理部11)進行負載的點亮、熄滅的切換。然後，當第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出拂動操作時，負載控制部進行負載的調光位準的切換。Further, in the load controller 1 of the present embodiment, the load of the load control unit 11 is a lighting fixture that is dimmable control. When the first detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects a click operation, the load control unit (signal processing unit 11) switches between turning on and off the load. Then, when the second detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects the swaying operation, the load control unit switches the dimming level of the load.

換言之，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第1或第2其中任一特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第3特徴。第3特徴係：第1控制為使負載驅動或停止的控制；第2控制為改變負載的輸出位準的控制。另外，第3特徴為任意特徴。In other words, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following third feature in addition to any of the first or second features. The third special feature is that the first control is control for driving or stopping the load, and the second control is control for changing the output level of the load. In addition, the third feature is an arbitrary feature.

再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第3特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第4特徴。第4特徴係：負載為照明器具。負載控制部11以在第1控制中使負載點亮或熄滅的方式構成。輸出位準為照明器具的調光位準。另外，第4特徴為任意特徴。Further, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment can be said to have the following fourth feature on the third feature. The fourth special system: the load is a lighting fixture. The load control unit 11 is configured to turn the load on or off in the first control. The output level is the dimming level of the lighting fixture. In addition, the fourth feature is an arbitrary feature.

藉此，只要在欲切換負載的點亮、熄滅時對操作部20進行點擊操作，在欲切換負載的調光位準時對操作部20進行拂動操作即可，如是便可藉由點擊操作與拂動操作來進行不同的負載控制。Therefore, if the operation unit 20 is clicked when the load is to be switched on or off, the operation unit 20 may be swayed when the dimming level of the load is to be switched, and if so, the click operation and the click operation may be performed. Idle the operation to perform different load control.

另外在上述的動作順序中，在負載(LED照明器具100)處於熄滅的狀態下，若第1檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測到點擊操作，負載控制部(信號處理部11)便將負載以既定的調光位準點亮。另外，在負載處於點亮的狀態下，若第1檢測部檢測到點擊操作，負載控制部便將負載熄滅。另外在負載處於點亮的狀態下，當第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測到拂動操作時，負載控制部便將負載的調光位準在既定的第1調光位準與完全點亮位準之間交替切換。Further, in the above-described operation sequence, when the load (LED lighting apparatus 100) is turned off, the first detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects the click operation, and the load control The portion (signal processing unit 11) lights up the load at a predetermined dimming level. Further, when the first detecting unit detects the click operation while the load is on, the load control unit turns off the load. Further, when the second detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects the swaying operation while the load is on, the load control unit sets the dimming level of the load at The predetermined first dimming level is alternately switched between the full lighting level and the full lighting level.

換言之，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第4特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第5特徴。在第5特徴中，負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，且負載正熄滅著，則將負載以第1調光位準點亮；負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，且負載正點亮著，則將負載熄滅；負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，且負載正以第1調光位準點亮著，則將負載以與第1調光位準相異的第2調光位準點亮；負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，且負載正以第2調光位準點亮著，則將負載以第1調光位準點亮。另外，第5特徴為任意特徴。In other words, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following fifth feature on the fourth feature. In the fifth aspect, the load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation and the load is extinguished, the load is turned on at the first dimming level; The control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation and the load is being turned on, the load is extinguished, and the load control unit 11 is configured as follows: When the 19 measured operation is the second operation and the load is lit at the first dimming level, the load is lit at the second dimming level different from the first dimming level; load control The portion 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation and the load is being lit at the second dimming level, the load is turned on at the first dimming level. In addition, the fifth feature is an arbitrary feature.

再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第5特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第6特徴。在第6特徴中，第2調光位準係照明器具的光輸出為最大的調光位準的最大值。另外，第6特徴為任意特徴。Further, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following sixth feature in addition to the fifth feature. In the sixth feature, the light output of the second dimming level lighting fixture is the maximum value of the maximum dimming level. In addition, the sixth feature is an arbitrary feature.

藉此，只要在欲切換負載的點亮、熄滅時對操作部20進行點擊操作，在欲切換負載的調光位準時對操作部20進行拂動操作即可，如是便可藉由點擊操作與拂動操作來進行不同的負載控制。Therefore, if the operation unit 20 is clicked when the load is to be switched on or off, the operation unit 20 may be swayed when the dimming level of the load is to be switched, and if so, the click operation and the click operation may be performed. Idle the operation to perform different load control.

另外，第2檢測部亦可檢測出拂過操作部20的操作方向。此時，負載控制部11可根據第2檢測部所檢測出的拂動操作的操作方向來進行不同的負載控制。Further, the second detecting unit may detect the operation direction of the operation unit 20 . At this time, the load control unit 11 can perform different load control based on the operation direction of the sway operation detected by the second detecting unit.

換言之，負載控制部11亦可根據接觸位置的移動方向來控制負載。In other words, the load control unit 11 can also control the load in accordance with the moving direction of the contact position.

例如，第2動作亦可包含：操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著第1方向移動的第3動作，以及操作者26使接觸位置沿著與第1方向相異的第2方向移動的第4動作。例如，第1方向為在負載控制器1的寬度方向上的其中一個方向(圖2(a)中的右方向)。第2方向宜為與第1方向相反的方向。例如，第2方向為在負載控制器1的寬度方向上的另一個方向(圖 2(a)中的左方向)。For example, the second operation may include a third operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in the first direction, and the operator 26 causes the contact position to follow the second direction different from the first direction. The fourth action of the move. For example, the first direction is one of the directions in the width direction of the load controller 1 (the right direction in FIG. 2(a)). The second direction is preferably a direction opposite to the first direction. For example, the second direction is the other direction in the width direction of the load controller 1 (Fig. 2 (a) in the left direction).

例如，負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第3動作，且負載正點亮著，則將負載以第2調光位準點亮。負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第3動作，且負載正以第2調光位準點亮著，則將負載以第1調光位準點亮。For example, the load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the third operation and the load is being turned on, the load is turned on at the second dimming level. The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the third operation and the load is being lit at the second dimming level, the load is at the first dimming level. bright.

例如，負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第4動作，且負載正點亮著，則將負載以與第1調光位準以及第2調光位準相異的第3調光位準點亮。負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第4動作，且負載正以第3調光位準點亮著，則將負載以第1調光位準點亮。另外，第3調光位準例如係在第1調光位準與第2調光位準之間的調光位準。For example, the load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the fourth operation and the load is being lit, the load is compared with the first dimming level and the second dimming position. The quasi-different third dimming level lights up. The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the fourth operation and the load is being turned on at the third dimming level, the load is at the first dimming level. bright. Further, the third dimming level is, for example, a dimming level between the first dimming level and the second dimming level.

藉此，便可根據究竟是對同一操作部20進行點擊操作，或拂動操作，或在拂動操作的情況下係向哪個方向進行拂動操作，來實現不同的負載控制。因此，比起分別設置用來實行不同之負載控制的操作部的情況而言，可減少操作部20的數量，進而實現負載控制器1的小型化。Thereby, different load control can be realized depending on whether the same operation unit 20 performs a click operation, a tilt operation, or a tilt operation in the case of a flick operation. Therefore, the number of the operation units 20 can be reduced, and the size of the load controller 1 can be reduced, compared to the case where the operation units for performing different load control are separately provided.

另外，在上述的實施例中，係藉由將同一負載控制成不同的控制狀態，以實行不同的負載控制，惟亦可根據點擊操作、向一個方向的拂動操作，或向相反方向的拂動操作，來實行不同負載的負載控制。In addition, in the above embodiment, different load control is performed by controlling the same load to different control states, but it is also possible to perform a click operation, a tilting operation in one direction, or a direction in the opposite direction. Operate to implement load control for different loads.

另外，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，係複數個(例如2個)負載控制器1(1A、1B)以在一個方向上並排的狀態安裝於框架構件(由平板構件30以及平板框31所構成)。然後，在與操作部20的排列方向正交的方向上，操作者拂過操作部20的操作動作被第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出。Further, in the load controller 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of (for example, two) load controllers 1 (1A, 1B) are attached to the frame member in a state of being aligned side by side in one direction (by the plate member 30 and the plate frame 31). Composition). Then, in the direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the operation unit 20, the operation operation of the operator through the operation unit 20 is detected by the second detection unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11).

若將具備負載控制器1A、1B與框架構件(平板構件30以及平板框31) 的系統視為負載控制器1的話，則可將負載控制器1A、1B視為係由操作部20、感測器19以及負載控制部11所構成的負載控制單元。If the load controllers 1A, 1B and the frame members (the plate member 30 and the plate frame 31) are provided When the system is regarded as the load controller 1, the load controllers 1A and 1B can be regarded as load control units constituted by the operation unit 20, the sensor 19, and the load control unit 11.

該等負載控制器1，具備複數個由操作部20、感測器19以及負載控制部11所構成的負載控制單元(亦即，負載控制器1A、1B)。第1動作與第2動作的其中一方，為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著既定方向移動的動作。負載控制單元沿著與既定方向交叉的方向(宜為正交的方向)並排。另外，該特徴為任意特徴。The load controller 1 includes a plurality of load control units (that is, load controllers 1A and 1B) including the operation unit 20, the sensor 19, and the load control unit 11. One of the first operation and the second operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in a predetermined direction. The load control units are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction (which is preferably orthogonal). In addition, this feature is an arbitrary feature.

另外，當拂動操作的檢出方向與操作部20的排列方向相同時，在對任一操作部20進行拂動操作時，會有手指碰到隣接的其他操作部20而操作錯誤的可能性存在。另一方面，在本實施態樣中，係以拂動操作的檢出方向與操作部20的排列方向正交的方式將複數負載控制器1安裝於框架構件，故不易發生如上所述的操作錯誤。Further, when the detection direction of the slamming operation is the same as the arrangement direction of the operation unit 20, when the operation operation is performed on any of the operation units 20, there is a possibility that the finger touches the adjacent other operation unit 20 and the operation error occurs. presence. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the plurality of load controllers 1 are attached to the frame member such that the detection direction of the slamming operation is orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the operation portion 20, so that the above-described operation is less likely to occur. error.

另外，在本實施態樣中，由信號處理部11以及觸碰感測器12所構成的第2檢測部，係檢測出左右方向的拂動操作，惟拂動操作的檢出方向並不限於左右方向。第2檢測部亦可檢測出上下方向、上下方向以及左右方向二者，或是斜向方向的拂動操作。Further, in the present embodiment, the second detecting unit including the signal processing unit 11 and the touch sensor 12 detects the tilting operation in the left-right direction, but the detecting direction of the flicking operation is not limited to Left and right direction. The second detecting unit can also detect the swaying operation in the up and down direction, the up and down direction, and the left and right direction, or in the oblique direction.

另外，本實施態樣係於1個負載控制器1僅設置1個操作部20，惟亦可於1個負載控制器1設置複數個操作部20。此時亦同樣，複數個操作部20的排列方向與第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)所檢測出的拂動操作的方向宜彼此正交。Further, in the present embodiment, only one operation unit 20 is provided for one load controller 1, but a plurality of operation units 20 may be provided for one load controller 1. Similarly, in the same manner, the direction in which the plurality of operation units 20 are arranged and the direction in which the second detection unit (constructed by the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) are detected are orthogonal to each other.

在該等變化實施例中，負載控制器1設置了複數個操作部20。複數個操作部20並排在與第2檢測部所檢測出的拂動操作的方向正交的方向上。In these variant embodiments, the load controller 1 is provided with a plurality of operating units 20. The plurality of operation units 20 are arranged side by side in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the sway operation detected by the second detection unit.

換言之，負載控制器1具備複數個操作部20。第1動作與第2動作的其中一方，係操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著既定方向移動的動 作。複數個操作部20沿著與既定方向交叉的方向(宜為正交的方向)並排。In other words, the load controller 1 is provided with a plurality of operation units 20. One of the first operation and the second operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in a predetermined direction. Work. The plurality of operation units 20 are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction (preferably orthogonal).

藉此，當任一操作部20受到拂動操作時，手指不易觸碰到隣接的其他操作部20，故可減少操作錯誤的情況發生。Thereby, when any of the operation portions 20 is subjected to the swaying operation, the fingers are less likely to touch the adjacent other operation portions 20, so that an operation error can be reduced.

(實施態樣2)(Implementation 2)

1.負載控制器1的構造1. Construction of load controller 1

參照圖7~圖11說明實施態樣2的負載控制器1。另外，在以下的說明當中只要並未特別指明，負載控制器1的長度方向為圖7(a)的上下方向，負載控制器1的寬度方向為圖7(a)的左右方向。另外，負載控制器1的前方向為圖7(b)的左方向，負載控制器1的後方向為圖7(b)的右方向。The load controller 1 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 7 to 11 . In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the longitudinal direction of the load controller 1 is the vertical direction of FIG. 7(a), and the width direction of the load controller 1 is the horizontal direction of FIG. 7(a). Further, the front direction of the load controller 1 is the left direction of FIG. 7(b), and the rear direction of the load controller 1 is the right direction of FIG. 7(b).

本實施態樣的負載控制器1，如圖7(a)、(b)所示的，包含：操作部20，其具有操作者操作負載(在本實施態樣中為LED照明器具100)用的操作面26；以及感測器19，其測定操作面26上的操作者的動作。再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1更具備信號處理部11，其具有負載控制部的功能，可根據感測器19所測定到的操作者的動作控制負載。另外，負載控制器1只要至少具備1個操作部20即可。As shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), the load controller 1 of the present embodiment includes an operation unit 20 having an operator operation load (in the present embodiment, the LED lighting apparatus 100). An operating surface 26; and a sensor 19 that measures the motion of the operator on the operating surface 26. Furthermore, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment further includes a signal processing unit 11 having a function of a load control unit, and can control the load based on the motion of the operator measured by the sensor 19. Further, the load controller 1 only needs to have at least one operation unit 20.

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，則對負載實行第1控制；若感測器19所測定到的動作為與第1動作相異的第2動作，則對負載實行與第1控制相異的第2控制。The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation, the first control is performed on the load; and the operation measured by the sensor 19 is different from the first operation. In the second operation, the second control that is different from the first control is applied to the load.

在本實施態樣亦同樣，第1控制為使負載驅動或停止的控制。另外，第2控制為改變負載的輸出位準的控制。Also in the present embodiment, the first control is control for driving or stopping the load. In addition, the second control is control for changing the output level of the load.

另外，在本實施態樣中，負載亦係照明器具的一種，亦即LED照明器具100。負載控制部11以在第1控制中使負載(LED照明器具100)點亮或熄滅的方式構成。輸出位準為照明器具(LED照明器具100)的調光位準。亦即，負載控制部11以在第2控制中改變負載(LED照明器具100) 的調光位準的方式構成。Further, in the present embodiment, the load is also one of the lighting fixtures, that is, the LED lighting fixture 100. The load control unit 11 is configured to turn on or off the load (the LED lighting apparatus 100) in the first control. The output level is the dimming level of the lighting fixture (LED lighting fixture 100). That is, the load control unit 11 changes the load in the second control (LED lighting fixture 100) The configuration of the dimming level.

在本實施態樣中，第1動作係操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作。亦即，第1動作係所謂的拖曳操作、滑動操作、拂動操作。In the present embodiment, the first operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26. That is, the first operation is a so-called drag operation, a slide operation, and a sway operation.

尤其，在本實施態樣中，第1動作包含：操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著第1方向移動的第3動作，以及操作者26使接觸位置沿著與第1方向相異的第2方向移動的第4動作。例如，第1方向係負載控制器1的寬度方向的其中一個方向(圖7(a)的右方向)。第2方向宜為與第1方向相反的方向。例如，第2方向係負載控制器1的寬度方向的另一個方向(圖7(a)的左方向)。In particular, in the present embodiment, the first operation includes a third operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in the first direction, and the operator 26 causes the contact position to follow the first direction. The fourth movement in which the second direction moves differently. For example, the first direction is one of the directions in the width direction of the load controller 1 (the right direction of FIG. 7(a)). The second direction is preferably a direction opposite to the first direction. For example, the second direction is the other direction in the width direction of the load controller 1 (the left direction of FIG. 7(a)).

第2動作係操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作。亦即，第2動作係所謂的點擊操作。The second operation is an operation in which the operator touches the operation surface 26 without touching the contact position with the operation surface 26 for a predetermined period of time. That is, the second action is a so-called click operation.

另外，第1動作以及第2動作並不限於上述的例子。只要第1動作以及第2動作係可彼此區別的動作即可。Further, the first operation and the second operation are not limited to the above examples. The first operation and the second operation may be different from each other.

負載控制部11，與實施態樣1同樣，使LED照明器具100的狀態在第1狀態ST1、第2狀態ST2、第3狀態ST3之間遷移(參照圖11)。Similarly to the first embodiment, the load control unit 11 moves the state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 between the first state ST1, the second state ST2, and the third state ST3 (see FIG. 11).

在本實施態樣中，第1控制，係驅動負載的控制，包含將負載以第2調光位準點亮的控制(點亮控制)。另外，第1控制，係使負載停止的控制，包含使負載熄滅的控制(熄滅控制)。In the present embodiment, the first control is a control for driving the load, and includes control (lighting control) for lighting the load to the second dimming level. Further, the first control is a control for stopping the load, and includes control for extinguishing the load (extinguishing control).

另外，第2控制係改變負載的調光位準的控制(調光控制)。在本實施態樣中，第2控制係將負載變更至第1調光位準(亦即，將負載以第1調光位準點亮)的調光控制。Further, the second control system changes the control of the dimming level of the load (dimming control). In the present embodiment, the second control system controls the dimming control to change the load to the first dimming level (that is, to illuminate the load at the first dimming level).

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2 動作，則實行第2控制。藉此，負載控制部11將負載以第1調光位準點亮(圖11的ST2)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第1狀態ST1或第3狀態ST3遷移至第2狀態ST2(圖11的P12)。亦即，負載控制部11，不管負載的狀態(圖11的ST1、ST3)，只要感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，便將負載以第1調光位準點亮。The load control unit 11 is configured such that the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second In the action, the second control is executed. Thereby, the load control unit 11 lights the load at the first dimming level (ST2 in FIG. 11). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the first state ST1 or the third state ST3 to the second state ST2 (P12 of FIG. 11). In other words, the load control unit 11 lights the load at the first dimming level as long as the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation regardless of the state of the load (ST1, ST3 in Fig. 11).

負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第3動作，則實行點亮控制。藉此，負載控制部11將負載以第2調光位準點亮(圖11的ST3)。亦即，負載控制部11使LED照明器具100的點亮狀態從第1狀態ST1或第2狀態ST2遷移至第3狀態ST3(圖11的P11)。亦即，負載控制部11，不管負載的狀態(圖11的ST1、ST2)，只要感測器19所測定到的動作為第3動作，便將負載以第2調光位準點亮。The load control unit 11 is configured to perform lighting control when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the third operation. Thereby, the load control unit 11 lights the load at the second dimming level (ST3 in FIG. 11). In other words, the load control unit 11 shifts the lighting state of the LED lighting apparatus 100 from the first state ST1 or the second state ST2 to the third state ST3 (P11 of FIG. 11). In other words, the load control unit 11 lights the load at the second dimming level as long as the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the third operation regardless of the state of the load (ST1, ST2 in Fig. 11).

In other words, regardless of the state of the load (ST2, ST3 in FIG. 11), the load control unit 11 turns off the load as long as the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the fourth operation.

本實施態樣的負載控制器1的電路構造，由於與實施態樣1所說明的圖1的電路同樣，故省略其說明。Since the circuit configuration of the load controller 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the circuit of FIG. 1 described in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

圖7(a)係表示負載控制器1的前視圖，圖7(b)係表示負載控制器1的剖面圖，圖8係表示負載控制器1的分解立體圖。7(a) is a front view of the load controller 1, FIG. 7(b) is a cross-sectional view showing the load controller 1, and FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing the load controller 1.

在本實施態樣中2個負載控制器1(1A、1B)安裝於平板構件30。In the present embodiment, two load controllers 1 (1A, 1B) are attached to the plate member 30.

平板構件30係由合成樹脂成型品所構成，以形成一體的方式具備：形成縱向較長的矩形板狀的主要部位30a，以及從主要部位30a的後面的周圍 部位的稍微靠內側之處從後方突出的側部30b。於主要部位30a的中央設置了將主要部位30a前後貫通的矩形貫通孔30e，從貫通孔30e的內側面的後部向內側突出設置了伸出部30f。The plate member 30 is composed of a synthetic resin molded article, and is integrally formed to include a main portion 30a having a rectangular plate shape that is long in the longitudinal direction, and a periphery from the rear of the main portion 30a. The side portion 30b of the portion slightly inward from the rear. A rectangular through hole 30e that penetrates the main portion 30a forward and backward is provided at the center of the main portion 30a, and an extending portion 30f is protruded inward from the rear portion of the inner side surface of the through hole 30e.

2片主基板22以螺栓鎖緊於平板構件30的背面側。2片主基板22上下並排安裝，配置成朝向貫通孔30e。The two main substrates 22 are bolted to the back side of the flat plate member 30. The two main substrates 22 are mounted side by side in the vertical direction, and are arranged to face the through holes 30e.

於平板構件30的貫通孔30e內配置支持框32。支持框32由合成樹脂形成縱向較長的四角框狀，上下設置2個安裝孔32a，於各個安裝孔32a配置操作部20與觸碰基板21。A support frame 32 is disposed in the through hole 30e of the plate member 30. The support frame 32 is formed of a synthetic resin in a vertically long rectangular frame shape, and two mounting holes 32a are provided on the upper and lower sides, and the operation portion 20 and the touch substrate 21 are disposed in the respective attachment holes 32a.

操作部20係由透明或是半透明的合成樹脂成型品所構成，以形成一體的方式具備：矩形板狀的主要部位20b，以及從主要部位20b的周緣部位向後方突出的側部20c。然後，在主要部位20b與側部20c所包圍的空間內配置了觸碰基板21。The operation unit 20 is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin molded article, and is integrally provided with a main portion 20b having a rectangular plate shape and a side portion 20c protruding rearward from a peripheral portion of the main portion 20b. Then, the touch substrate 21 is disposed in a space surrounded by the main portion 20b and the side portion 20c.

觸碰基板21，如圖9所示的係由合成樹脂形成矩形板狀，在其表面上安裝了複數個(例如14個)觸碰感測器12。The substrate 21 is touched, and as shown in FIG. 9, a rectangular plate shape is formed of synthetic resin, and a plurality of (for example, 14) touch sensors 12 are mounted on the surface thereof.

觸碰基板21，係由縱横的長度大略相同的矩形板狀的合成樹脂成型品所構成，如圖10所示的以與主要部位20b的背面側平行的方式配置。於觸碰基板21的表面的一端部(圖9的上側部)以及另一端部(圖9的下側部)，7個觸碰感測器12在負載控制器1的寬度方向(圖9的左右方向)上並排安裝。The touch substrate 21 is formed of a rectangular plate-shaped synthetic resin molded article having a longitudinally and vertically different length, and is disposed so as to be parallel to the back surface side of the main portion 20b as shown in FIG. The one touch portion 12 (the upper side portion of FIG. 9) and the other end portion (the lower side portion of FIG. 9) of the surface of the substrate 21 are touched, and the seven touch sensors 12 are in the width direction of the load controller 1 (FIG. 9). Install side by side in the left and right direction).

由於操作部20以合成樹脂形成，故當為了進行點擊操作(第2動作)或是拂動操作(第3動作或第4動作)而以手指觸碰操作部20時，位於手指觸碰部位的背面側的觸碰感測器12的靜電電容值會產生變化。Since the operation unit 20 is formed of synthetic resin, when the operation unit 20 is touched by a finger in order to perform a click operation (second operation) or a tilt operation (third operation or fourth operation), the operation portion 20 is located at the finger touch portion. The electrostatic capacitance value of the touch sensor 12 on the back side changes.

於主基板22除了觸碰感測器12以外安裝了圖1的電路，在本實施態 樣中如圖10所示的安裝了發出紅色光的發光二極體14a以及發出綠色光的3個發光二極體14b作為發光二極體14。The circuit of FIG. 1 is mounted on the main substrate 22 except for the touch sensor 12, in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, a light-emitting diode 14a that emits red light and three light-emitting diodes 14b that emit green light are mounted as the light-emitting diode 14.

發出紅色光的發光二極體14a，安裝於主基板22的與主要部位20b的中心位置對應的位置。The light-emitting diode 14a that emits red light is attached to a position of the main substrate 22 corresponding to the center position of the main portion 20b.

發出綠色光的3個發光二極體14b，以一定的間隔安裝在以發光二極體14a的安裝位置為中心的圓周上。The three light-emitting diodes 14b that emit green light are attached to the circumference around the mounting position of the light-emitting diode 14a at regular intervals.

然後，於觸碰基板21，在與發出紅色光的發光二極體14a對向的位置上形成圓孔狀的貫通孔21b，在與發出綠色光的發光二極體14b對向的位置上以弧狀彎曲的6個貫通孔21c形成於以貫通孔21b為中心的圓周上。Then, the substrate 21 is touched, and a through hole 21b having a circular hole shape is formed at a position opposed to the light-emitting diode 14a that emits red light, and is opposed to the light-emitting diode 14b that emits green light. The six through holes 21c that are curved in an arc shape are formed on a circumference centering on the through hole 21b.

另外，在主基板22上以包圍發光二極體14a的周圍的方式安裝了筒狀的分隔壁25。該分隔壁25使發光二極體14a的光不易射入貫通孔21c，且使發光二極體14b的光不易射入貫通孔21b。Further, a cylindrical partition wall 25 is attached to the main substrate 22 so as to surround the periphery of the light-emitting diode 14a. The partition wall 25 makes it difficult for the light of the light-emitting diode 14a to enter the through hole 21c, and the light of the light-emitting diode 14b is less likely to enter the through hole 21b.

觸碰基板21安裝於操作部20，相對於配置於平板構件30的貫通孔30e內的支持框32，保持觸碰基板21的操作部20以上下並排2個的方式安裝。另外主基板22透過安裝螺栓(圖中未顯示)鎖緊固定於平板構件30的背面側。另外，將操作部20、觸碰基板21以及支持框32安裝於平板構件30上的方法，可採用凹凸嵌合、螺栓鎖緊或接合黏著等適當的方法，並不限於特定的方法。The touch panel 21 is attached to the operation unit 20, and is attached to the support frame 32 disposed in the through hole 30e of the plate member 30 so as to hold the operation unit 20 that touches the substrate 21 upside down. Further, the main substrate 22 is locked and fixed to the back side of the flat plate member 30 via a mounting bolt (not shown). Further, the method of attaching the operation unit 20, the touch substrate 21, and the support frame 32 to the flat plate member 30 may be an appropriate method such as concave-convex fitting, bolt locking, or joint bonding, and is not limited to a specific method.

在組裝完成的狀態下於操作部20的背面側配置了觸碰基板21，當以手指(人體)接觸操作部20的前面時，觸碰感測器12的靜電電容會產生變化。When the assembly is completed, the touch panel 21 is placed on the back side of the operation unit 20, and when the front side of the operation unit 20 is touched by the finger (human body), the electrostatic capacitance of the touch sensor 12 changes.

另外，安裝於主基板22的發光二極體14a、14b的發光，通過觸碰基板21的貫通孔21b、21c往前方照射，並透過透明或是半透明的操作部20 照射到外部去。Further, the light-emitting diodes 14a and 14b mounted on the main substrate 22 are irradiated forward by the through holes 21b and 21c of the substrate 21, and are transmitted through the transparent or translucent operation portion 20. Illuminate to the outside.

在本實施態樣中2組負載控制器1(1A、1B)安裝於平板構件30，各個負載控制器1(1A、1B)由操作部20、觸碰基板21、主基板22與分隔壁25所構成。另外，分隔壁25並非必須。In the present embodiment, two sets of load controllers 1 (1A, 1B) are mounted on the plate member 30, and each load controller 1 (1A, 1B) is composed of an operation portion 20, a touch substrate 21, a main substrate 22, and a partition wall 25. Composition. In addition, the partition wall 25 is not essential.

2.負載控制器1的動作2. Action of load controller 1

接著，說明本實施態樣的負載控制器1的動作。信號處理部11與複數個觸碰感測器12分別連接，藉由比較各個觸碰感測器12的靜電電容與既定的基準值的高低，判斷各個觸碰感測器12是否檢測到手指(人體)。另外於信號處理部11預先登錄了各觸碰感測器12的位置資訊。Next, the operation of the load controller 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The signal processing unit 11 is connected to the plurality of touch sensors 12 respectively. By comparing the electrostatic capacitances of the respective touch sensors 12 with the predetermined reference values, it is determined whether each of the touch sensors 12 detects a finger ( human body). Further, the position information of each touch sensor 12 is registered in advance in the signal processing unit 11.

然後，當操作者以手指觸碰操作部20時，信號處理部11根據最先檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，以及最後檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，求出觸碰操作部20的手指的移動量。Then, when the operator touches the operation portion 20 with a finger, the signal processing portion 11 is based on the position information of the touch sensor 12 that first detected the finger touch, and the touch sensor that finally detected the finger touch. The position information of 12 is used to obtain the amount of movement of the finger of the touch operation unit 20.

若該移動量比既定的閾值更小，則信號處理部11便判斷操作者對操作部20的操作為點擊操作，若上述的移動量在既定的閾值以上，則信號處理部11便判斷操作者對操作部20的操作為拂動操作。When the amount of movement is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the signal processing unit 11 determines that the operator's operation on the operation unit 20 is a click operation, and if the amount of movement is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the signal processing unit 11 determines the operator. The operation of the operation unit 20 is a turbulent operation.

另外，信號處理部11亦根據最先檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，以及最後檢測到手指觸碰的觸碰感測器12的位置資訊，檢測出拂動操作的方向。In addition, the signal processing unit 11 also detects the slamming operation based on the position information of the touch sensor 12 that first detected the finger touch, and the position information of the touch sensor 12 that finally detected the finger touch. direction.

在此，以信號處理部11的運算功能與觸碰感測器12，分別實現檢測出操作者對操作部20的點擊操作的第1檢測部，以及檢測出操作者對操作部20的拂動操作的第2檢測部。另外，上述的閾值，係可視為手指並未移動之程度的數值，係預先設定好的。Here, the arithmetic function of the signal processing unit 11 and the touch sensor 12 respectively realize the first detecting unit that detects the click operation of the operator on the operation unit 20, and the operator's movement of the operation unit 20 is detected. The second detecting unit of the operation. In addition, the above-mentioned threshold value can be regarded as a numerical value of the extent to which the finger does not move, and is set in advance.

信號處理部11，當根據觸碰感測器12的輸入檢測到點擊操作或是拂動 操作(在拂動操作的情況下連其操作方向也一併檢測到)時，便進行與點擊操作或拂動操作對應的負載控制，其動作順序顯示於圖11。The signal processing unit 11 detects a click operation or shakes according to the input of the touch sensor 12 The operation (when the operation is also detected in the case of the slamming operation) is performed, and the load control corresponding to the click operation or the sway operation is performed, and the operation sequence is shown in FIG.

在圖11的動作順序中，信號處理部11在檢測出朝一個方向(例如圖7(a)的右方向)的拂動操作(第3動作)時，將LED照明器具100完全點亮，在檢測出朝相反方向(例如圖7(a)的左方向)的拂動操作(第4動作)時，將LED照明器具100熄滅。另外信號處理部11在檢測出點擊操作(第2動作)時，將LED照明器具100以既定的調光位準點亮。In the operation sequence of FIG. 11, when the signal processing unit 11 detects the sway operation (third operation) in one direction (for example, the right direction of FIG. 7(a)), the LED lighting apparatus 100 is completely turned on. When the tilting operation (fourth operation) in the opposite direction (for example, the left direction of FIG. 7(a)) is detected, the LED lighting apparatus 100 is turned off. Further, when the click processing (second operation) is detected, the signal processing unit 11 lights the LED lighting apparatus 100 at a predetermined dimming level.

在LED照明器具100處於熄滅的狀態(圖11的ST1)下，信號處理部11控制驅動電路16，將發出綠色光的發光二極體14b點亮，以顯示出位置所在。In a state where the LED lighting apparatus 100 is turned off (ST1 of FIG. 11), the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 16 to light the light-emitting diode 14b that emits green light to display the position.

在LED照明器具100處於熄滅或調光點亮的狀態(圖11的ST1、ST2)下，當操作者朝一個方向(例如圖7(a)的右方向)進行拂動操作(第3動作)(圖11的P11)時，信號處理部11便根據觸碰感測器12的輸入檢測到朝右方向的拂動操作。In a state where the LED lighting apparatus 100 is turned off or dimmed (ST1, ST2 in FIG. 11), the operator performs a tilting operation (third motion) in one direction (for example, the right direction of FIG. 7(a)). (P11 in Fig. 11), the signal processing unit 11 detects a flick operation in the right direction based on the input of the touch sensor 12.

當信號處理部11檢測到朝右方向的拂動操作P11時，便從輸出電路13對LED照明器具100輸出完全點亮信號，將LED照明器具100以完全點亮狀態(調光位準為100%的狀態)點亮(圖11的ST3)。When the signal processing unit 11 detects the flick operation P11 in the right direction, the full illumination signal is output from the output circuit 13 to the LED lighting apparatus 100, and the LED lighting apparatus 100 is fully lit (the dimming level is 100). The state of % is lit (ST3 of Fig. 11).

另外，信號處理部11控制驅動電路17從壓電蜂鳴器15發出報知音效(例如「嗶、嗶」這樣的音效)，同時控制驅動電路16將3個發出紅色光的發光二極體14a點亮，藉此報知已經切換到完全點亮狀態。Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to emit a notification sound effect (for example, a sound effect such as "哔, 哔") from the piezoelectric buzzer 15, and controls the drive circuit 16 to point three light-emitting diodes 14a that emit red light. Light up, thereby reporting that it has switched to a fully lit state.

另一方面，在LED照明器具100處於熄滅或完全點亮的狀態(圖11的ST1、ST3)下，若操作者進行點擊操作(第2動作)(圖11的P12)，則信號處理部11會根據觸碰感測器12的輸入檢測到點擊操作。On the other hand, when the LED lighting apparatus 100 is turned off or completely turned on (ST1, ST3 in FIG. 11), when the operator performs a click operation (second operation) (P12 in FIG. 11), the signal processing unit 11 A click operation is detected based on the input of the touch sensor 12.

當信號處理部11檢測到點擊操作P12時，便從輸出電路13對LED照明器具100輸出調光信號，將LED照明器具100以既定的調光位準(例如當完全點亮狀態為100%時15%的調光位準)點亮。When the signal processing unit 11 detects the click operation P12, the dimming signal is output from the output circuit 13 to the LED lighting apparatus 100, and the LED lighting apparatus 100 is set to a predetermined dimming level (for example, when the fully lit state is 100%). 15% of the dimming level is lit.

另外，信號處理部11控制驅動電路17從壓電蜂鳴器15發出報知音效(例如「嗶」這樣的音效)，同時控制驅動電路16將發出紅色光的發光二極體14a以燈泡色點亮，藉此報知已經切換到調光點亮狀態。Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to emit a notification sound effect (for example, a sound effect such as "哔") from the piezoelectric buzzer 15, while controlling the drive circuit 16 to illuminate the light-emitting diode 14a that emits red light in a bulb color. In this way, it is reported that the switch has been switched to the dimming lighting state.

在LED照明器具100處於完全點亮或調光點亮的狀態(圖11的ST2、ST3)若操作者實行朝相反方向(例如左方向)的拂動操作(第4動作)(圖11的P13)，則信號處理部11會根據觸碰感測器12的輸入檢測到朝左方向的拂動操作。When the LED lighting apparatus 100 is fully lit or dimmed (ST2, ST3 in FIG. 11), the operator performs a tilting operation (fourth operation) in the opposite direction (for example, the left direction) (P13 of FIG. 11) Then, the signal processing unit 11 detects a tilting operation in the left direction based on the input of the touch sensor 12.

當信號處理部11檢測到朝左方向的拂動操作P13時，便從輸出電路13對LED照明器具100輸出熄滅信號，將LED照明器具100熄滅。另外信號處理部11控制驅動電路17從壓電蜂鳴器15發出報知音效(例如「嗶~」這樣的音效)，同時控制驅動電路16將發出綠色光的發光二極體14b點亮。When the signal processing unit 11 detects the tilt operation P13 in the left direction, the output circuit 13 outputs an extinguish signal to the LED lighting apparatus 100 to turn off the LED lighting apparatus 100. Further, the signal processing unit 11 controls the drive circuit 17 to emit a notification sound effect (for example, a sound effect such as "哔~") from the piezoelectric buzzer 15, and controls the drive circuit 16 to light the light-emitting diode 14b that emits green light.

3.負載控制器1的特徴3. Features of Load Controller 1

以上所述之本實施態樣的負載控制器1包含：第1檢測部，其檢測出操作者對操作部20的點擊操作；第2檢測部，其檢測出操作者對操作部20的拂動操作；以及負載控制部(信號處理部11)，其在第1檢測部檢測出點擊操作時與第2檢測部檢測出拂動操作時進行不同的負載控制。The load controller 1 of the present embodiment described above includes a first detecting unit that detects a click operation of the operator on the operation unit 20, and a second detecting unit that detects an operator's movement of the operation unit 20. And a load control unit (signal processing unit 11) that performs different load control when the first detecting unit detects the click operation and when the second detecting unit detects the click operation.

換言之，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，可謂具有以下的第1特徴。在第1特徴中，負載控制器1包含：至少1個操作部20，其具有操作者操作負載用的操作面26；感測器19，其測定操作面26上的操作者的動作；以及負載控制部11，若感測器19所測定到的動作為第1動作，則其對負載實行第1控制，若感測器19所測定到的動作為與第1動作相異的第2動作，則其對負載實行與第1控制相異的第2控制。In other words, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment can be said to have the following first feature. In the first aspect, the load controller 1 includes at least one operation unit 20 having an operation surface 26 for an operator to operate a load, and a sensor 19 that measures an operation of an operator on the operation surface 26; When the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the first operation, the control unit 11 performs the first control on the load, and if the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation different from the first operation, Then, the load is subjected to a second control that is different from the first control.

再者，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第1特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第2特徴。Further, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following second feature in addition to the first feature.

在第2特徴中，第1動作為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作。第2動作為操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作。另外，第2特徴為任意特徴。In the second feature, the first operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26. The second operation is an operation in which the operator touches the operation surface 26 without touching the contact position with the operation surface 26 for a predetermined period of time. In addition, the second feature is an arbitrary feature.

如以上所述的，在本實施態樣的變換動作中亦同樣，在第1檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出點擊操作時，與第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出拂動操作時，負載控制部(信號處理部11)進行不同的負載控制。As described above, in the conversion operation of the present embodiment, the second detecting unit is detected when the first detecting unit (constructed by the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects the click operation. When the sway operation is detected (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11), the load control unit (signal processing unit 11) performs different load control.

藉此，由於係根據對同一操作部20進行點擊操作或是拂動操作，而實現不同的負載控制，故比起分別設置用來實行不同負載控制的操作部的情況而言，可減少操作部20的數量。因此，可實現負載控制器1的小型化，並可提高設計性。另外，在本實施態樣中係將同一負載控制成不同的控制狀態，以實行不同的負載控制，惟亦可藉由點擊操作或是拂動操作對不同的負載實行負載控制。Thereby, since different load control is realized by performing a click operation or a flick operation on the same operation unit 20, the operation unit can be reduced as compared with the case where the operation unit for performing different load control is separately provided. The number of 20. Therefore, the miniaturization of the load controller 1 can be achieved, and the design can be improved. In addition, in the embodiment, the same load is controlled to different control states to implement different load control, but load control may be performed on different loads by clicking or slamming operations.

另外，第1動作亦可為操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作，第2動作亦可為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作。亦即，第1動作與第2動作的其中一方為操作者不移動與操作面26的接觸位置而對操作面26觸碰既定期間的動作，第1動作與第2動作的另一方為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置移動的動作，如是亦可。Further, the first operation may be an operation in which the operator touches the operation surface 26 without touching the contact position with the operation surface 26, and the second operation may be an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26. action. In other words, one of the first operation and the second operation is an operation in which the operator touches the operation surface 26 without moving the contact position with the operation surface 26, and the other of the first operation and the second operation is the operator. The action of moving the contact position with the operation surface 26 may be performed.

另外在本實施態樣中，第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)亦會檢測出拂過操作部20的操作方向。然後，負載控制部(信號處理部11)根據第2檢測部所檢測出的拂動操作的操作方向，進行不同 的負載控制。Further, in the present embodiment, the second detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) also detects the operation direction of the operation unit 20. Then, the load control unit (signal processing unit 11) performs different operation based on the operation direction of the sway operation detected by the second detecting unit. Load control.

換言之，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第2特徴之上，可謂更具有以下的第3特徴。在第3特徴中，負載控制部11根據接觸位置的移動方向控制負載。In other words, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following third feature in addition to the second feature. In the third feature, the load control unit 11 controls the load in accordance with the moving direction of the contact position.

藉此，根據究竟係對同一操作部20進行點擊操作，或拂動操作，或在拂動操作的情況下係向哪個方向的拂動操作，來實現不同的負載控制。因此，比起分別設置用來進行不同負載控制的操作部的情況而言，可減少操作部20的數量，並可實現負載控制器1的小型化。另外，在本實施態樣中係將同一負載控制成不同的控制狀態，以進行不同的負載控制，惟亦可根據點擊操作、朝一個方向的拂動操作，或是朝相反方向的拂動操作，而對不同的負載進行負載控制。Thereby, different load control is realized depending on whether the same operation unit 20 performs a click operation, a flick operation, or a tilt operation in which the operation is performed in the case of a flick operation. Therefore, the number of the operation portions 20 can be reduced and the size of the load controller 1 can be reduced as compared with the case where the operation portions for performing different load control are separately provided. In addition, in this embodiment, the same load is controlled to different control states for different load control, but may also be operated according to a click operation, a tilting operation in one direction, or a tilting operation in the opposite direction. And load control for different loads.

另外在本實施態樣中負載控制部(信號處理部11)的負載為可調光控制的照明器具(LED照明器具100)，第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)亦檢測出拂過操作部20的操作方向。然後，當第2檢測部檢測到朝一個方向的拂動操作時，負載控制部將負載完全點亮，當第2檢測部檢測到朝相反方向的拂動操作時，負載控制部將負載熄滅。另外，當第1檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測到點擊操作時，負載控制部將負載以既定的調光位準點亮。Further, in the present embodiment, the load of the load control unit (signal processing unit 11) is a dimming control lighting fixture (LED lighting fixture 100), and the second detecting unit (by the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) The configuration also detects the operation direction of the operation unit 20. Then, when the second detecting unit detects the swaying operation in one direction, the load control unit completely lights up the load, and when the second detecting unit detects the swaying operation in the opposite direction, the load control unit turns off the load. Further, when the first detecting unit (consisting of the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) detects a click operation, the load control unit lights the load at a predetermined dimming level.

換言之，本實施態樣的負載控制器1，在第1~3特徴其中任一特徵之上，可謂更具有以下的第4特徴。在第4特徴中，第1動作包含：操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著第1方向移動的第3動作，以及操作者使接觸位置沿著與第1方向相異的第2方向移動的第4動作。負載控制部11以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第2動作，則將負載以既定的第1調光位準點亮。負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動作為第3動作，則將負載以與第1調光位準相異的第2調光位準點亮。負載控制部11更以如下方式構成：若感測器19所測定到的動 作為第4動作，則將負載熄滅。In other words, the load controller 1 of the present embodiment has the following fourth feature in addition to any of the first to third features. In the fourth aspect, the first operation includes a third operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in the first direction, and the operator makes the contact position along the second direction different from the first direction. The fourth action of the direction movement. The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the second operation, the load is turned on at a predetermined first dimming level. The load control unit 11 is configured such that when the operation measured by the sensor 19 is the third operation, the load is turned on at the second dimming level different from the first dimming level. The load control unit 11 is configured as follows: the motion measured by the sensor 19 As the fourth operation, the load is turned off.

藉此，當欲將照明器具完全點亮時，只要朝一個方向進行拂動操作即可，當欲將其熄滅時只要朝相反方向進行拂動操作即可，當欲將其調光點亮時只要進行點擊操作即可，操作方法與負載的狀態係1對1對應，故操作方法直接憑感覺而比較容易理解。另外，在本實施態樣中係朝右方向的拂動操作將照明器具完全點亮，朝左方向的拂動操作將其熄滅，惟拂動操作的方向與照明器具的控制狀態並非僅限於上述關係，只要配合使用者的操作感覺適當設定即可。例如在檢測出上下方向的拂動操作的情況下，若檢測出朝上側的拂動操作便將照明器具完全點亮，若檢測出朝下側的拂動操作便將照明器具熄滅，這樣也是可以。Therefore, when the lighting fixture is to be completely lit, it is only necessary to perform the tilting operation in one direction, and when it is intended to be extinguished, it is only necessary to perform the tilting operation in the opposite direction, when it is desired to dim the light. As long as the click operation is performed, the operation method and the state of the load correspond to one to one, and therefore the operation method is relatively easy to understand based on the feeling. In addition, in the present embodiment, the tilting operation in the right direction completely illuminates the lighting fixture, and the tilting operation in the left direction turns it off, but the direction of the tilting operation and the control state of the lighting fixture are not limited to the above. The relationship can be set as appropriate in accordance with the user's operation feeling. For example, when the swaying operation in the up and down direction is detected, the illuminating device is completely turned on when the swaying operation on the upper side is detected, and the illuminating device is turned off when the swaying operation on the lower side is detected. .

另外，在本實施態樣的負載控制器1中，複數個(例如2個)負載控制器1(1A、1B)係以在一個方向上並排的狀態安裝於框架構件(由平板構件30以及平板框31所構成)上。然後，在與操作部20的排列方向正交的方向上，操作者拂過操作部20的操作被第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)檢測出。Further, in the load controller 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of (for example, two) load controllers 1 (1A, 1B) are attached to the frame member in a state of being side by side in one direction (by the plate member 30 and the flat plate) Box 31 is constructed). Then, in the direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the operation unit 20, the operation of the operator through the operation unit 20 is detected by the second detection unit (constructed by the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11).

若將具備負載控制器1A、1B與框架構件(平板構件30以及平板框31)的系統視為負載控制器1，則可將負載控制器1A、1B視為係由操作部20、感測器19以及負載控制部11所構成的負載控制單元。When the system including the load controllers 1A and 1B and the frame members (the plate member 30 and the plate frame 31) is regarded as the load controller 1, the load controllers 1A and 1B can be regarded as the operation unit 20 and the sensor. 19 and a load control unit constituted by the load control unit 11.

該等負載控制器1具備複數個由操作部20、感測器19以及負載控制部11所構成的負載控制單元(亦即，負載控制器1A、1B)。第1動作與第2動作的其中一方為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著既定方向移動的動作。負載控制單元沿著與既定方向交叉的方向(宜為正交的方向)並排。另外，該特徴為任意特徴。The load controller 1 includes a plurality of load control units (that is, load controllers 1A and 1B) including the operation unit 20, the sensor 19, and the load control unit 11. One of the first operation and the second operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in a predetermined direction. The load control units are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction (which is preferably orthogonal). In addition, this feature is an arbitrary feature.

另外，在拂動操作的檢出方向與操作部20的排列方向相同的情況下，當對任一操作部20進行拂動操作時，會有手指碰觸到隣接的其他操作部20 而造成操作錯誤的可能性。相對於此，在本實施態樣中，由於以拂動操作的檢出方向與操作部20的排列方向正交的方式將複數負載控制器1安裝於框架構件上，故不易發生如上所述的操作錯誤。Further, when the detection direction of the slamming operation is the same as the arrangement direction of the operation unit 20, when any of the operation units 20 is swayed, the finger touches the adjacent other operation unit 20 The possibility of causing operational errors. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the plurality of load controllers 1 are attached to the frame member so that the detection direction of the slamming operation is orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the operation unit 20, the above-described problem is less likely to occur. Operation error.

另外，在本實施態樣中係於1個負載控制器1僅設置1個操作部20，惟亦可於1個負載控制器1設置複數個操作部20。此時亦同樣，複數個操作部20的排列方向與第2檢測部(由觸碰感測器12以及信號處理部11所構成)所檢測到的拂動操作的方向宜互相正交。Further, in the present embodiment, only one operation unit 20 is provided for one load controller 1, but a plurality of operation units 20 may be provided for one load controller 1. Similarly, in the same manner, the direction in which the plurality of operation units 20 are arranged and the direction in which the second detection unit (constructed by the touch sensor 12 and the signal processing unit 11) are detected are orthogonal to each other.

在該等變化實施例中，負載控制器1設置了複數個操作部20。複數個操作部20並排於與第2檢測部所檢測到的拂動操作的方向正交的方向上。In these variant embodiments, the load controller 1 is provided with a plurality of operating units 20. The plurality of operation units 20 are arranged side by side in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the sway operation detected by the second detection unit.

換言之，負載控制器1具備複數個操作部20。第1動作與第2動作的其中一方為操作者使其與操作面26的接觸位置沿著既定方向移動的動作。複數個操作部20沿著與既定方向交叉的方向(宜為正交的方向)並排。In other words, the load controller 1 is provided with a plurality of operation units 20. One of the first operation and the second operation is an operation in which the operator moves the contact position with the operation surface 26 in a predetermined direction. The plurality of operation units 20 are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction (preferably orthogonal).

藉此，當任一操作部20受到拂動操作時，手指不易觸碰到隣接的其他操作部20，可減少操作錯誤發生。Thereby, when any of the operation portions 20 is subjected to the swaying operation, the fingers are less likely to touch the adjacent other operation portions 20, and the occurrence of an operation error can be reduced.

另外，實施態樣1、2所說明的負載控制的態樣僅為例示而已，並不限於上述的控制內容，可配合作為控制對象的裝置或使用環境適當作變更。In addition, the aspect of the load control described in the first and second embodiments is merely an example, and is not limited to the above-described control content, and can be appropriately changed in accordance with the device to be controlled or the use environment.

另外，在上述的各實施態樣中，係針對將本發明應用於控制照明器具的動作狀態的控制器的實施態樣進行說明，惟亦可應用於控制照明器具以外的負載(例如換氣風扇或空調等的設備裝置)的控制器。另外，亦可應用於對負載傳送無線信號以進行控制的遙控器。Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a controller that controls the operating state of the lighting fixture will be described, but it can also be applied to controlling a load other than the lighting fixture (for example, a ventilation fan). A controller of an equipment such as an air conditioner. In addition, it can also be applied to a remote controller that transmits a wireless signal to a load for control.
