Description

押釦スイッチ装置、電波発信器及び照明制御システムPushbutton switch device, radio wave transmitter and lighting control system
 本発明は、押釦スイッチ装置、当該押釦スイッチ装置を備える電波発信器、及び当該電波発信器を用いる照明制御システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a push button switch device, a radio wave transmitter including the push button switch device, and an illumination control system using the radio wave transmitter.
 従来、複数のスイッチを備え、前記スイッチの押下などの状態の変化により、その情報を操作データとして伝送する操作用端末器が提供されている(文献1[日本国公開特許公報2001-086577号]参照)。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an operation terminal device has been provided that includes a plurality of switches and transmits information as operation data according to a change in state such as pressing of the switches (Reference 1 [Japanese Published Patent Publication No. 2001-086577]). reference).
 文献1記載の操作用端末器は、プリント基板と、このプリント基板が収納される矩形箱状の合成樹脂成形体のハウジングを備える。 The operating terminal described in Document 1 includes a printed circuit board and a rectangular box-shaped synthetic resin molded body housing the printed circuit board.
 プリント基板の表面には、押釦スイッチからなる4個のスイッチが実装されている。ハウジングは、カバーと、ボディとを備える。カバーは、裏面が開口された略箱形に形成されており、前方に突設された突出部と、各スイッチに対応し、突出部に一体に形成されたハンドルとを備える。突出部の前面には、切溝によって、ヒンジ部とハンドルがカバーと一体に形成されている。ハンドルは、ヒンジ部を支点として前後方向に揺動自在に形成され、プリント基板に実装された複数のスイッチにそれぞれ略対向して配置される。 Four switches consisting of pushbutton switches are mounted on the surface of the printed circuit board. The housing includes a cover and a body. The cover is formed in a substantially box shape with an open back surface, and includes a protruding portion protruding forward, and a handle corresponding to each switch and formed integrally with the protruding portion. A hinge portion and a handle are integrally formed with the cover by a kerf on the front surface of the protruding portion. The handle is swingably movable in the front-rear direction with the hinge portion as a fulcrum, and is disposed substantially opposite to each of the plurality of switches mounted on the printed circuit board.
 カバーに設けられたハンドルの後面略中央部には、操作用リブが突設され、さらにハンドルの後面側長手方向の両端部には、押込み防止用リブが形成されている。押込み防止用リブは、ハンドルの後面からカバーの縁近くまで略垂直に突出し、ハンドルとともに一体に形成された略三角形の補強用リブによって補強されている。 An operation rib protrudes from a substantially central portion of the rear surface of the handle provided on the cover, and further, push-in prevention ribs are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rear surface of the handle. The push-in preventing rib protrudes substantially vertically from the rear surface of the handle to near the edge of the cover, and is reinforced by a substantially triangular reinforcing rib formed integrally with the handle.
 ハンドルの操作用リブは、プリント基板に実装されたスイッチの操作部の先端部に当接する。このとき、ハンドルは、プリント基板に略平行に配置される。そして、押込み防止用リブの先端部は、プリント基板の近傍において略対向して配置される。 The handle operating rib contacts the tip of the operating part of the switch mounted on the printed circuit board. At this time, the handle is disposed substantially parallel to the printed circuit board. And the front-end | tip part of the rib for pushing-in prevention is arrange | positioned substantially facing in the vicinity of a printed circuit board.
 押釦スイッチのハンドルはヒンジ部を支点として前後方向に揺動自在に形成されており、ユーザがハンドルを押し込むと、スイッチ操作部がハンドル操作用リブに押圧されて、押釦スイッチがオンされる。そして、ハンドルがさらに押し込まれたとき、押込み防止用リブの先端部がプリント基板に当接することで、ハンドルの必要以上の押込みが規制される。 The handle of the push button switch is formed to be swingable in the front-rear direction with the hinge portion as a fulcrum. When the user pushes the handle, the switch operation portion is pressed by the handle operation rib, and the push button switch is turned on. When the handle is further pushed in, the tip of the push-in prevention rib comes into contact with the printed circuit board, thereby restricting the push-in of the handle more than necessary.
 また、文献1記載の操作用端末器は、遠隔監視システムに用いられる。遠隔監視システムでは、スイッチの操作状態を監視する複数個の操作用端末器、負荷を制御する複数個の制御用端末器が2線式の信号線を介して接続されている。操作用端末器、制御用端末器には、それぞれ個別のアドレスが設定され、このアドレスを用いて個別に認識される。 Also, the operation terminal described in Document 1 is used for a remote monitoring system. In the remote monitoring system, a plurality of operation terminals that monitor the operation state of the switch and a plurality of control terminals that control the load are connected via a two-wire signal line. A separate address is set for each of the operation terminal and the control terminal, and each address is recognized individually using this address.
 ところで、文献1記載のスイッチにおいて、ハンドルは、操作用リブが押釦スイッチの押釦に当接されていることで保持されている。ハンドルの押される位置によっては、ハンドルが操作用リブを支点に傾き、押込み防止用リブの一部がプリント基板に当接するので、ハンドルのがたつきが生じ易くなる。 By the way, in the switch described in Document 1, the handle is held by the operation rib being in contact with the push button of the push button switch. Depending on the position at which the handle is pressed, the handle tilts with the operation rib as a fulcrum, and part of the push-in prevention rib comes into contact with the printed circuit board.

It is formed in a protruding cylindrical shape. In the protruding direction of the protruding portion 112, the protruding portion 112 and the push button 211 are arranged side by side. The four locking claws 113 are formed in a fan-like columnar shape as seen from the front-rear direction (thickness direction of the main part 111) protruding from the rear surface 118 of the main part 111, and protrude inward at the tip. A claw portion 1131 is provided. Each of the four claw portions 1131 protrudes toward the protruding portion 112. The four locking claws 113 have inner peripheral edges that are slightly larger than the outer periphery of the elastic body 12 and are equally spaced from each other. The claw portions 1131 of the four locking claws 113 hook the surface (rear surface) that contacts the push button 211 of the elastic body 12 from the outside to lock the elastic body 12. The four holding pieces 114 are formed in a fan-like columnar shape as viewed from the front-rear direction protruding from the rear surface of the main portion 111 and are configured to be in contact with the front surface of the elastic body 12 and near the periphery. In FIG. 2, the four holding pieces 114 are in contact with the front surface of the elastic body 12 and near the periphery. Note that at least one of the four holding pieces 114 may not be in contact with the front surface of the elastic body 12 and near the periphery. Each holding piece 114 is longer than the protrusion 112 and shorter than the locking claw 113 (see FIG. 2). That is, the elastic body 12 is sandwiched and held between the four locking claws 113 and the four holding pieces 114.

The six hooking claws 115 are formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a claw portion 1151 is formed at the tip, and is provided on the rear surface 118 of the main portion 111. The four hooking claws 115 are provided at two places at left and right intervals at the upper end and the lower end of the main portion 111, respectively. That is, the four hooking claws 115 are provided at two positions at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the main portion 111 at both ends of the main portion 111 in the short direction. The remaining two hooking claws 115 are provided near the center in the vertical direction at the left end and the right end of the main portion 111, respectively. That is, the remaining two hooking claws 115 are provided near the center of the main portion 111 in the short direction at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main portion 111. The six support pieces 116 are provided in the vicinity of the periphery of the rear surface 118 of the main part 111 as a guide for reinforcing the handle 11 and arranging the handle 11 on the cover 3. The four support pieces 116 are formed in an L shape at the four corners of the main portion 111. The remaining support pieces 116 are formed between the two hooking claws 115 at the upper end and the lower end (both ends in the short direction) of the main portion 111 (see FIG. 3). The protrusion 117 is formed so as to protrude in the vicinity of the front periphery of the main part 111 in order to hold the switch cover 4 described later. That is, the protrusion 117 is formed so as to protrude forward from the vicinity of the periphery of the front surface (second surface) 119 of the main portion 111.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1の動作について図1から図3を参照して説明する。 The operation of the push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
 ハンドル11の主部111が前方から押されると、弾性体12には、前面に接している保持片114から力が加えられる。そして、力が加えられた弾性体12の周縁部分は、後方に撓む。主部111がさらに押されることで、突出部112が弾性体12に当たる。そして、押釦スイッチ21は、弾性体12を介して押釦211がハンドル11に押されることによってオンする。また、ハンドル11は、押操作されなくなると、押釦211の復帰力及び弾性体12の復帰力によって、元の位置に戻る。 When the main part 111 of the handle 11 is pushed from the front, a force is applied to the elastic body 12 from the holding piece 114 in contact with the front surface. And the peripheral part of the elastic body 12 to which force was applied bends back. When the main portion 111 is further pushed, the protruding portion 112 hits the elastic body 12. The push button switch 21 is turned on when the push button 211 is pushed by the handle 11 via the elastic body 12. When the handle 11 is not pushed, the handle 11 returns to the original position by the return force of the push button 211 and the return force of the elastic body 12.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1では、弾性体12が無い場合に比べて、ハンドル11の押された場所に関係なく、ハンドル11のがたつきを抑制することが可能である。 In the push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress rattling of the handle 11 regardless of the place where the handle 11 is pressed, compared to the case where the elastic body 12 is not provided.
 なお、ハンドル11は、主部111を前方から見たとき左右が長手方向となる長方形に形成されているがこれに限らない。また、ハンドル11の引掛爪115の数及び形成場所、支持片116の数、形状、及び形成場所が本実施形態と異なっていても構わない。例えば、主部111が正方形に形成され、4個の引掛爪115と4個の支持片116を備えていてもよい。この場合、2個の引掛爪115は、主部111の一方向の両端において、それぞれ主部111の当該一方向に対して垂直な方向の中央付近に設けられている。また、残りの2個の引掛爪115は、当該一方向対して垂直な方向の両端において、それぞれの主部111の当該一方向の中央付近に設けられている。 The handle 11 is formed in a rectangle whose left and right sides are longitudinal when the main part 111 is viewed from the front, but is not limited thereto. Further, the number and location of the hook claws 115 of the handle 11 and the number, shape, and location of the support pieces 116 may be different from those of the present embodiment. For example, the main part 111 may be formed in a square shape and may include four hooking claws 115 and four support pieces 116. In this case, the two hooking claws 115 are provided near the center of the main portion 111 in the direction perpendicular to the one direction at both ends in one direction. Further, the remaining two hooking claws 115 are provided near the center of each main portion 111 in the one direction at both ends in a direction perpendicular to the one direction.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1は、ハンドル11と、弾性体12と、押釦スイッチ21とを備える。ハンドル11は、板状の主部111と、主部111の一面(第1面)118における中央から突出する突出部112とを備える。弾性体12は、電気絶縁性を有する弾性材料によって、押釦スイッチ21の押釦211よりも大きい板状に形成され、押釦スイッチ21の押釦211と突出部112との間に配置される。 The push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment includes a handle 11, an elastic body 12, and a push button switch 21. The handle 11 includes a plate-like main portion 111 and a protruding portion 112 that protrudes from the center of one surface (first surface) 118 of the main portion 111. The elastic body 12 is formed in a plate shape larger than the push button 211 of the push button switch 21 and is disposed between the push button 211 of the push button switch 21 and the protrusion 112 by an elastic material having electrical insulation.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1は上述のように構成されるので、ハンドル11が押されたときのハンドル11のがたつきを抑制することが可能である。したがって、本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1では、操作性の向上を図ることが可能である。 Since the push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to suppress rattling of the handle 11 when the handle 11 is pressed. Therefore, in the pushbutton switch device 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to improve operability.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1において、弾性体12は、ハンドル11に取り付けられることが好ましい。 In the push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment, the elastic body 12 is preferably attached to the handle 11.

 さらに、本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1において、弾性体12は、円形状に形成されることが好ましい。 Furthermore, in the pushbutton switch device 1 of the present embodiment, the elastic body 12 is preferably formed in a circular shape.
 本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1が上述のように構成されれば、弾性体12に掛かる力を均一化することが可能である。 If the pushbutton switch device 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, the force applied to the elastic body 12 can be made uniform.
 次に、本実施形態の押釦スイッチ装置1を備える電波発信器8の構造について図3及び図4を参照して説明する。 Next, the structure of the radio wave transmitter 8 including the push button switch device 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
 電波発信器8は、図3に示すように、6個の押釦スイッチ装置1と、プリント配線板2と、ハウジング30と、6個のスイッチカバー4と、化粧カバー5とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 3, the radio wave transmitter 8 includes six push button switch devices 1, a printed wiring board 2, a housing 30, six switch covers 4, and a decorative cover 5.
 電波発信器8には、6個の押釦スイッチ装置1が使用されている。なお、6個の押釦スイッチ装置1のそれぞれは、ハンドル11と、弾性体12と、押釦スイッチ21とを備える。6個の押釦スイッチ装置1は、ハンドル11の形状などの一部の構成を除いて全て共通の構成を有している。 The radio wave transmitter 8 uses six push button switch devices 1. Each of the six push button switch devices 1 includes a handle 11, an elastic body 12, and a push button switch 21. The six push button switch devices 1 all have a common configuration except for some configurations such as the shape of the handle 11.
 プリント配線板2の前面には、6個の押釦スイッチ21が実装されている。 Six push button switches 21 are mounted on the front surface of the printed wiring board 2.
 ハウジング30は、合成樹脂によって形成され、カバー3と、ボディ6とを備える。ボディ6は、前面が開口する矩形の箱型に形成されている。カバー3は、ボディ6の前面を塞ぐように矩形の板状に形成されている。ハウジング30は、カバー3とボディ6が組み立てられた状態において、内部に押釦スイッチ装置1とプリント配線板2とを収納する。 The housing 30 is formed of a synthetic resin and includes a cover 3 and a body 6. The body 6 is formed in a rectangular box shape whose front surface is open. The cover 3 is formed in a rectangular plate shape so as to close the front surface of the body 6. The housing 30 accommodates the push button switch device 1 and the printed wiring board 2 inside when the cover 3 and the body 6 are assembled.
 カバー3は、図4に示すように、6個の押釦スイッチ装置1のそれぞれに対応する6個の開口部31を備えている。6個の開口部31のそれぞれは、対応する押釦スイッチ装置1のハンドル11が前面に臨むように、主部111の形状に対応する矩形に形成されている。さらに、各開口部31の周縁には、突部311が内側に突出するように形成されている(図3参照)。突部311には、複数の係止溝312が内縁側に開口するように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the cover 3 includes six openings 31 corresponding to the six pushbutton switch devices 1. Each of the six openings 31 is formed in a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the main portion 111 so that the handle 11 of the corresponding pushbutton switch device 1 faces the front surface. Furthermore, the protrusion 311 is formed in the periphery of each opening part 31 so that it may protrude inside (refer FIG. 3). A plurality of locking grooves 312 are formed in the protrusion 311 so as to open to the inner edge side.
 ところで、ハンドル11は、前方から開口部31内に挿通される。ハンドル11の引掛爪115は、前方から係止溝312を通って爪部1151をカバー3の後面に引っ掛かる。引掛爪115の爪部1151がカバー3の後面に引掛かることで、ハンドル11は、前方向に対する移動範囲が規制される。また、ハンドル11の主部111が後方に押されると、主部111の周縁の後面がカバー3の突部311の前面に当たって、ハンドル11は、後方向に対する移動範囲が規制される。 Incidentally, the handle 11 is inserted into the opening 31 from the front. The hooking claw 115 of the handle 11 hooks the claw portion 1151 from the front through the locking groove 312 to the rear surface of the cover 3. When the claw portion 1151 of the hooking claw 115 is hooked on the rear surface of the cover 3, the movement range of the handle 11 with respect to the front direction is restricted. Further, when the main portion 111 of the handle 11 is pushed rearward, the rear surface of the peripheral edge of the main portion 111 hits the front surface of the projection 311 of the cover 3, and the range of movement of the handle 11 in the rearward direction is restricted.
 例えば、主部111の周縁近くの右側で押された場合、ハンドル11の右側は、ハンドル11の右側周縁の後面がカバー3の突部311に当たることで押込みが規制される。ハンドル11の左側は、引掛爪115が突部311に引っ掛かっていることによって前方への移動が規制される。ハンドル11は、主部111の前後方向への傾きが制限されている。 For example, when pressed on the right side near the periphery of the main portion 111, the right side of the handle 11 is restricted from being pushed by the rear surface of the right periphery of the handle 11 hitting the protrusion 311 of the cover 3. The left side of the handle 11 is restricted from moving forward by the hooking claw 115 being caught by the protrusion 311. The handle 11 is restricted from tilting in the front-rear direction of the main portion 111.
 カバー3は、図4に示すように、プリント配線板2を前面から支持する2対のリブ片341,342と、ボディ6と着脱可能に引っ掛かる6個の第1引掛爪32と2個の第2引掛爪35と、ボディ6にねじ止めするための2個のねじ挿通孔33とを備えている。1対の支持片341は、カバー3の後面の上側にT字型に形成されている。もう1対の支持片342は、カバー3の後面の下側にL字型に形成されている。6個の第1引掛爪32は、後面の左右両端に3個ずつ形成されている。2個の第2引掛爪35は、後面の上端付近に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the cover 3 includes two pairs of rib pieces 341 and 342 that support the printed wiring board 2 from the front surface, six first hooking claws 32 that are detachably hooked to the body 6, and two first hooks 32. Two hooking claws 35 and two screw insertion holes 33 for screwing to the body 6 are provided. The pair of support pieces 341 is formed in a T shape on the upper rear surface of the cover 3. The other pair of support pieces 342 is formed in an L shape below the rear surface of the cover 3. Three six first hooks 32 are formed on each of the left and right ends of the rear surface. The two second hooking claws 35 are formed near the upper end of the rear surface.
 ボディ6は、図3に示すように、底壁61と、周壁62とを備えている。ボディ6の周壁62には、6対の第1リブ631と1対の第2リブ632とが設けられている。第1リブ631は、周壁62の左右両端に設けられ、底壁61付近がL字型に形成されている。つまり、プリント配線板2は、プリント配線板2と底壁61との間に隙間が設けられて第1リブ631に保持される。第2リブ632は、周壁62の上側に設けられ、プリント配線板2を保持するために略L字型に形成されている。ボディ6の底壁61の前面には、カバー3のねじ挿通孔33に対応するボス65が形成されている。ボス65には、前方からねじ止め可能な孔651が設けられている。カバー3の前方から挿通されたタッピングねじは、ボス65の孔651にねじ込まれることで、カバー3とボディ6がねじ止めされる。ボディ6の周壁62には、上下方向に沿って、カバー3の第1引掛爪32が引掛けられる3対の第1係止片66が設けられている。また、ボディ6の周壁62の上端には、カバー3の第2引掛爪35が引掛けられる1対の第2係止片67が設けられている。ボディ6の底壁61の前面には、電池641を周壁62の下部から取り換え可能な状態に保持する電池ホルダー64が設けられている。電池641は、プリント配線板2に電気的に接続されている。 The body 6 includes a bottom wall 61 and a peripheral wall 62 as shown in FIG. Six pairs of first ribs 631 and a pair of second ribs 632 are provided on the peripheral wall 62 of the body 6. The 1st rib 631 is provided in the right-and-left both ends of the surrounding wall 62, and the bottom wall 61 vicinity is formed in the L-shape. That is, the printed wiring board 2 is held by the first rib 631 with a gap provided between the printed wiring board 2 and the bottom wall 61. The second rib 632 is provided on the upper side of the peripheral wall 62 and is formed in a substantially L shape in order to hold the printed wiring board 2. A boss 65 corresponding to the screw insertion hole 33 of the cover 3 is formed on the front surface of the bottom wall 61 of the body 6. The boss 65 is provided with a hole 651 that can be screwed from the front. The tapping screw inserted from the front of the cover 3 is screwed into the hole 651 of the boss 65, whereby the cover 3 and the body 6 are screwed. Three pairs of first locking pieces 66 on which the first hooking claws 32 of the cover 3 are hooked are provided on the peripheral wall 62 of the body 6 along the vertical direction. A pair of second locking pieces 67 on which the second hooking claws 35 of the cover 3 are hooked are provided at the upper end of the peripheral wall 62 of the body 6. A battery holder 64 is provided on the front surface of the bottom wall 61 of the body 6 to hold the battery 641 in a state where it can be replaced from the lower part of the peripheral wall 62. The battery 641 is electrically connected to the printed wiring board 2.
 スイッチカバー4は、合成樹脂によって矩形板状に形成され、ハンドル11の主部111の前面119の周縁付近に設けられている突部117に引っ掛かって主部111の各々の前面119に配設されている。 The switch cover 4 is formed in a rectangular plate shape with synthetic resin, and is disposed on each front surface 119 of the main portion 111 by being hooked by a protrusion 117 provided near the periphery of the front surface 119 of the main portion 111 of the handle 11. ing.
 化粧カバー5は、合成樹脂によって矩形板状に形成され、各押釦スイッチ装置1に対応する開口部51を備え、カバー3の前面に取り付けられている。 The decorative cover 5 is formed of a synthetic resin into a rectangular plate shape, includes an opening 51 corresponding to each push button switch device 1, and is attached to the front surface of the cover 3.
 なお、電波発信器8は、取付部7を備えることが好ましい。取付部7は、合成樹脂材料により形成され、壁などにねじ止めされるための2個のねじ挿通孔71と、ハウジング30を保持するための3個の保持片72を備えていることが好ましい。 In addition, it is preferable that the radio wave transmitter 8 includes the attachment portion 7. The mounting portion 7 is preferably made of a synthetic resin material, and includes two screw insertion holes 71 for screwing to a wall or the like, and three holding pieces 72 for holding the housing 30. .
 本実施形態の電波発信器8の回路構成について、図5を参照して説明する。 The circuit configuration of the radio wave transmitter 8 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
 電波発信器8は、図5に示すように、制御部81と、電源部82と、無線発信ユニット83と、操作入力部84とを備えている。なお、制御部81と電源部82と無線発信ユニット83と操作入力部84とを構成する回路素子は、プリント配線板2に実装されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the radio wave transmitter 8 includes a control unit 81, a power supply unit 82, a wireless transmission unit 83, and an operation input unit 84. The circuit elements constituting the control unit 81, the power supply unit 82, the wireless transmission unit 83, and the operation input unit 84 are mounted on the printed wiring board 2.
 電源部82は、電池641を電源として、制御部81、無線発信ユニット83及び操作入力部84に給電する。 The power supply unit 82 supplies power to the control unit 81, the wireless transmission unit 83, and the operation input unit 84 using the battery 641 as a power source.
 操作入力部84は、各押釦スイッチ21のオン/オフを検出する回路が設けられている。 The operation input unit 84 is provided with a circuit for detecting on / off of each pushbutton switch 21.
 制御部81は、操作入力部84から各押釦スイッチ21のオン/オフの状態を取得して操作信号を生成する。 The control unit 81 acquires the on / off state of each pushbutton switch 21 from the operation input unit 84 and generates an operation signal.
 無線発信ユニット83は、制御部81が生成する操作信号を、電波を媒体とする無線信号として送信する。 The wireless transmission unit 83 transmits the operation signal generated by the control unit 81 as a wireless signal using radio waves as a medium.
 なお、電波発信器8において、押釦スイッチ装置1の数は6個に限定されない。 In the radio wave transmitter 8, the number of push button switch devices 1 is not limited to six.
 本実施形態の電波発信器8は、押釦スイッチ装置1と、無線発信ユニット83と、押釦スイッチ装置1と無線発信ユニット83とを収納するハウジング30とを備える。ハウジング30は、ハンドル11を外部から押し操作可能なように構成されている。無線発信ユニット83は、押釦スイッチ装置1が操作されることで、電波を媒体とする操作信号を発信するように構成される。 The radio wave transmitter 8 of the present embodiment includes a push button switch device 1, a wireless transmission unit 83, and a housing 30 that houses the push button switch device 1 and the wireless transmission unit 83. The housing 30 is configured to be able to push the handle 11 from the outside. The wireless transmission unit 83 is configured to transmit an operation signal using radio waves as a medium when the pushbutton switch device 1 is operated.
 本実施形態の電波発信器8が上述のように構成されるので、電波発信器8は、押釦スイッチ装置1を備えることで、操作性の向上を図ることができる。 Since the radio wave transmitter 8 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, the radio wave transmitter 8 includes the push button switch device 1 so that operability can be improved.
 本実施形態の照明制御システムについて、図5及び図6を参照して説明する。 The illumination control system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
 照明制御システムは、図5に示すように、電波発信器8と、1乃至複数の制御装置9とを備える。制御装置9の各々は対応する照明負荷96を制御するように構成されている。 The illumination control system includes a radio wave transmitter 8 and one or more control devices 9 as shown in FIG. Each of the control devices 9 is configured to control a corresponding lighting load 96.
 制御装置9は、図6に示すように、制御部91と、受信部92と、電源回路93と、一対の電源入力端子901と、一対の制御端子902とを備える。 As illustrated in FIG. 6, the control device 9 includes a control unit 91, a reception unit 92, a power supply circuit 93, a pair of power input terminals 901, and a pair of control terminals 902.
 電源回路93は、整流回路、降圧回路などを備える。整流回路は、例えばダイオードブリッジなどで構成され、電源入力端子901から入力される交流電圧・交流電流(駆動電力)を脈流電圧・脈流電流に整流する。降圧回路は、例えばDCDCコンバータなどで構成されており、整流回路から入力される脈流電圧を所定(例えば、5V)の直流電圧に降圧する。電源回路93は、降圧回路で降圧した直流電圧(動作電圧)を制御部91や受信部92などに給電する。 The power supply circuit 93 includes a rectifier circuit, a step-down circuit, and the like. The rectifier circuit is configured by, for example, a diode bridge, and rectifies an AC voltage / AC current (drive power) input from the power input terminal 901 into a pulsating voltage / pulsating current. The step-down circuit is composed of, for example, a DCDC converter, and steps down the pulsating voltage input from the rectifier circuit to a predetermined (for example, 5 V) DC voltage. The power supply circuit 93 supplies the DC voltage (operating voltage) stepped down by the step-down circuit to the control unit 91, the receiving unit 92, and the like.
 制御部91は、一方の制御端子902と、一方の電源入力端子901との導通を入切するように構成されている。例えば、制御部91は、スイッチ素子910を備えている。制御部91は、受信部92が電波発信器8から受信した操作信号に応じて、スイッチ素子910をオン(又はオフ)することで、一方の制御端子902と一方の電源入力端子901を導通(又は遮断)させるように構成される。 The control unit 91 is configured to turn on / off conduction between one control terminal 902 and one power input terminal 901. For example, the control unit 91 includes a switch element 910. The control unit 91 turns on (or off) the switch element 910 in accordance with the operation signal received by the reception unit 92 from the radio wave transmitter 8, thereby electrically connecting one control terminal 902 and one power input terminal 901 ( (Or block).
 また、照明制御システムは、図6に示すように、制御装置9に電気的に接続されるリモコントランス94と、リモコンリレー95とを備える。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the illumination control system includes a remote control transformer 94 and a remote control relay 95 that are electrically connected to the control device 9.
 リモコントランス94は、1組の1次側端子941と、1組の2次側端子942とを備える。リモコントランス94は、1次側端子941に電気的に接続される商用交流電源900から供給される電圧、例えば100Vの交流電圧を24Vの交流電圧に降圧して2次側端子942から出力する。 The remote control transformer 94 includes a set of primary side terminals 941 and a set of secondary side terminals 942. The remote control transformer 94 steps down a voltage supplied from a commercial AC power supply 900 electrically connected to the primary side terminal 941, for example, an AC voltage of 100V to an AC voltage of 24V, and outputs it from the secondary side terminal 942.
 リモコンリレー95は、1組の主回路側端子951と、1組の操作側端子952とを備える。リモコンリレー95は、商用交流電源900から照明負荷96への給電路97を入切するように構成されている。さらに、リモコンリレー95は、リモコントランス94から駆動電力が供給されるように構成されている。 The remote control relay 95 includes a set of main circuit side terminals 951 and a set of operation side terminals 952. The remote control relay 95 is configured to turn on and off the power supply path 97 from the commercial AC power supply 900 to the illumination load 96. Further, the remote control relay 95 is configured to be supplied with driving power from the remote control transformer 94.
 リモコンリレー95の1組の主回路側端子951は、商用交流電源900から照明負荷96への給電路97に電気的に接続されている。一方の主回路側端子951は、照明負荷96に電気的に接続され、他方の主回路側端子951は、商用交流電源900に電気的に接続されている。つまり、照明負荷96は、リモコンリレー95の一対の主回路側端子951を介して商用交流電源900から電力が供給されるように構成されている。リモコンリレー95の操作側端子952は、制御装置9の制御部91に電気的に接続されている。また、操作側端子952は、リモコントランス94の2次側端子942と制御装置9を介して電気的に接続されている。 A set of main circuit side terminals 951 of the remote control relay 95 is electrically connected to a power supply path 97 from the commercial AC power supply 900 to the illumination load 96. One main circuit side terminal 951 is electrically connected to the lighting load 96, and the other main circuit side terminal 951 is electrically connected to the commercial AC power supply 900. That is, the illumination load 96 is configured to be supplied with power from the commercial AC power supply 900 via the pair of main circuit side terminals 951 of the remote control relay 95. The operation side terminal 952 of the remote control relay 95 is electrically connected to the control unit 91 of the control device 9. The operation side terminal 952 is electrically connected to the secondary side terminal 942 of the remote control transformer 94 via the control device 9.
 リモコンリレー95は、リレー巻線L1と、主接点S1と、補助接点S2と、1対のダイオードD1,D2とを備える。リモコンリレー95は、リレー巻線L1への通電方向を切り換えることによって商用交流電源900と照明負荷96との間に設けられている主接点S1をオン・オフする。そして、リモコンリレー95は、主接点S1に連動する補助接点S2によりリレー巻線L1に接続されているダイオードD1,D2を切り換えて通電方向を規制するように構成されている。ゆえに、制御部91から送信される制御信号(励磁電流)でリレー巻線L1が励磁されて主接点S1を開閉させて給電路97を入切する。 The remote control relay 95 includes a relay winding L1, a main contact S1, an auxiliary contact S2, and a pair of diodes D1 and D2. The remote control relay 95 turns on and off the main contact S1 provided between the commercial AC power supply 900 and the illumination load 96 by switching the energization direction to the relay winding L1. The remote control relay 95 is configured to switch the direction of energization by switching the diodes D1 and D2 connected to the relay winding L1 by the auxiliary contact S2 interlocked with the main contact S1. Therefore, the relay winding L1 is excited by the control signal (excitation current) transmitted from the control unit 91, opens and closes the main contact S1, and turns the power supply path 97 on and off.
 本実施形態の照明制御システムの動作について、図6を参照して説明する。 The operation of the illumination control system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
 電波発信器8の押釦スイッチ装置1(図4参照)の何れか一個が操作されると、電波発信器8の制御部81(図5参照)は、操作された押釦スイッチ装置1に対応したアドレスデータが含まれる操作信号を無線発信ユニット83を介して、1乃至複数の制御装置9へ送信する。 When any one of the push button switch devices 1 (see FIG. 4) of the radio wave transmitter 8 is operated, the control unit 81 (see FIG. 5) of the radio wave transmitter 8 has an address corresponding to the operated push button switch device 1. An operation signal including data is transmitted to one or more control devices 9 via the wireless transmission unit 83.
 制御装置9の受信部92は、電波発信器8から操作信号を受信する。制御部91は、操作信号のアドレスデータが押釦スイッチ装置1に割り当てられたアドレスと一致すると電源電圧の半周期より短い時間、スイッチ素子910をオンする。スイッチ素子910がオンすることで、リモコントランス94からリモコンリレー95の操作側端子952間に励磁電流(制御信号)が供給される。リモコンリレー95の主接点S1は、励磁電流がリレー巻線L1に流れる向きに応じてオン又はオフする。例えば、照明負荷96が消灯(主接点S1がオフ)している場合、制御部91が電波発信器8から操作信号を受信すると、制御部91は、スイッチ素子910をオンにする。そして、制御部91は、リモコンリレー95のリレー巻線L1にリレー巻線L1からダイオードD1の向きに励磁電流が流れるようにスイッチ素子910を制御する。リレー巻線L1に流れる励磁電流によって主接点S1がオンし、給電路97に電流が通電されて照明負荷96が点灯する。また、例えば、照明負荷96が点灯(主接点S1がオン)している場合、制御部91は、スイッチ素子910をオンにして、リレー巻線L1にダイオードD2からリレー巻線L1の向きに励磁電流が流れるようにスイッチ素子910を制御する。そして、リレー巻線L1に流れる励磁電流によって主接点S1がオフして給電路97が切断されて照明負荷96が消灯する。スイッチ素子910は、主接点S1のオン・オフ動作が完了すると、制御部91によってオフされる。補助接点S2は、主接点S1と連動し、主接点S1のオン・オフ動作が完了すると、切り換わる。 The receiving unit 92 of the control device 9 receives an operation signal from the radio wave transmitter 8. When the address data of the operation signal matches the address assigned to the push button switch device 1, the control unit 91 turns on the switch element 910 for a time shorter than the half cycle of the power supply voltage. When the switch element 910 is turned on, an excitation current (control signal) is supplied from the remote control transformer 94 to the operation side terminal 952 of the remote control relay 95. The main contact S1 of the remote control relay 95 is turned on or off according to the direction in which the excitation current flows through the relay winding L1. For example, when the lighting load 96 is turned off (the main contact S <b> 1 is off), when the control unit 91 receives an operation signal from the radio wave transmitter 8, the control unit 91 turns on the switch element 910. Then, the control unit 91 controls the switch element 910 so that the exciting current flows through the relay winding L1 of the remote control relay 95 from the relay winding L1 to the diode D1. The main contact S1 is turned on by the exciting current flowing through the relay winding L1, the current is supplied to the power supply path 97, and the illumination load 96 is lit. For example, when the illumination load 96 is lit (the main contact S1 is on), the control unit 91 turns on the switch element 910 to excite the relay winding L1 from the diode D2 to the relay winding L1. The switch element 910 is controlled so that a current flows. Then, the main contact S1 is turned off by the exciting current flowing through the relay winding L1, the power feeding path 97 is cut off, and the illumination load 96 is turned off. The switch element 910 is turned off by the controller 91 when the on / off operation of the main contact S1 is completed. The auxiliary contact S2 is interlocked with the main contact S1, and is switched when the on / off operation of the main contact S1 is completed.
 なお、制御装置9は、タッチスイッチ部99を備えることが好ましい。タッチスイッチ部99がタッチ操作されると、制御部91がリモコンリレー95を駆動して照明負荷96を制御することが好ましい。 The control device 9 preferably includes a touch switch unit 99. When the touch switch unit 99 is touched, it is preferable that the control unit 91 drives the remote control relay 95 to control the illumination load 96.
 本実施形態の照明制御システムは、電波発信器8と、制御装置9とを備える。制御装置9は、電波発信器8から発信された操作信号を受信し、当該操作信号に応じて照明負荷96を点灯及び消灯させるように構成される。 The illumination control system of this embodiment includes a radio wave transmitter 8 and a control device 9. The control device 9 is configured to receive an operation signal transmitted from the radio wave transmitter 8 and turn on and off the illumination load 96 according to the operation signal.
 本実施形態の照明制御システムは、上述のように構成されるので、操作性の向上を図ることができる。 Since the illumination control system of the present embodiment is configured as described above, operability can be improved.

The dimming / lighting device 98 sets the conduction angle of the AC voltage supplied to the illumination load 96 as the conduction angle corresponding to the dimming level.
 本実施形態の照明制御システムにおいて、制御装置9は、電波発信器8から発信された操作信号(無線信号)を受信し、当該操作信号に応じて照明負荷96を調光点灯させるように構成されている。 In the illumination control system of the present embodiment, the control device 9 is configured to receive an operation signal (radio signal) transmitted from the radio wave transmitter 8 and to dimm the illumination load 96 according to the operation signal. ing.
