技术领域Technical field

背景技术Background technique

随着自动化控制在民用和商用领域的广泛应用，负载控制装置在楼宇配电***、智能家居***中起到日益重要的作用，因此负载控制装置也面临着更高的要求。With the widespread application of automation control in civil and commercial fields, load control devices play an increasingly important role in building power distribution systems and smart home systems. Therefore, load control devices are also facing higher requirements.

现有的一些负载控制装置作为特定负载(例如断路器、接触器等)的专用辅助模块来设计，其必须紧邻负载设置，并且与负载之间的连接往往通过导电搭扣等形状配合部件来实现。这导致负载控制装置的通用性和空间配置上的灵活性大大降低。Some of the existing load control devices are designed as special auxiliary modules for specific loads (such as circuit breakers, contactors, etc.). They must be installed next to the load, and the connection with the load is often realized by form-fitting components such as conductive buckles. . This leads to a greatly reduced versatility and flexibility in space configuration of the load control device.

在目前的负载控制装置中，负载控制装置与中央控制器采取有线的通信连接，其接收来自中央控制器的控制指令并实现对负载状态的控制，从而实现负载的上电及断电过程。在这种设计中，负载控制装置的供电也需要借助和中央控制器之间的通信线来实现。这种取电方案布线较为繁琐，并且需要在通信线路和负载控制装置的电源模块中进行电源隔离，内部电路设计较为复杂。In the current load control device, the load control device and the central controller adopt a wired communication connection, which receives control instructions from the central controller and realizes the control of the load status, thereby realizing the power-on and power-off process of the load. In this design, the power supply of the load control device also needs to be realized by means of a communication line with the central controller. The wiring of this kind of power taking scheme is cumbersome, and power supply isolation is required in the communication line and the power module of the load control device, and the internal circuit design is more complicated.

在一个实施例中，输入端子610和输出端子620可共同组成负载20接口。负载20连接至输入端子610和输出端子620。在这种情况下，一方面，控制模块300接收来自通信模块200的中央控制信号，并根据该中央控制信号经由输出端子620向负载20输出状态控制信号。响应于该状态控制信号，负载20中的触点可在打开状态和闭合状态之间切换。另一方面，控制模块300通过输入端子610接收来自负载20的状态信号，并将该状态信号经由通信模块200发送至网关设备30。In an embodiment, the input terminal 610 and the output terminal 620 may jointly form a load 20 interface. The load 20 is connected to the input terminal 610 and the output terminal 620. In this case, on the one hand, the control module 300 receives a central control signal from the communication module 200, and outputs a state control signal to the load 20 via the output terminal 620 according to the central control signal. In response to the state control signal, the contacts in the load 20 can be switched between an open state and a closed state. On the other hand, the control module 300 receives the status signal from the load 20 through the input terminal 610 and transmits the status signal to the gateway device 30 via the communication module 200.

在一个示例性的实施例中，所述负载20例如为接触器。接触器包括主触点和辅助触点，所述主触点的两端可分别连接至负载控制装置10的输出端子620，所述辅助触点的两端可分别连接至负载控制装置10的输入端子610。由此，响应于控制模块300输出的状态控制信号，接触器中的主触点可在打开状态和闭合状态之间切换。辅助触点的状态与主触点的状态保持一致。由此，辅助触点的状态信号，也即主触点的状态信号可通过输入端子610反馈至负载控制装置10的控制模块300，并将该状态信号经由通信模块200发送至网关设备30。In an exemplary embodiment, the load 20 is, for example, a contactor. The contactor includes a main contact and an auxiliary contact. Both ends of the main contact can be respectively connected to the output terminal 620 of the load control device 10, and both ends of the auxiliary contact can be respectively connected to the input of the load control device 10 Terminal 610. Thus, in response to the state control signal output by the control module 300, the main contact in the contactor can be switched between an open state and a closed state. The state of the auxiliary contact is consistent with the state of the main contact. Thus, the status signal of the auxiliary contact, that is, the status signal of the main contact can be fed back to the control module 300 of the load control device 10 through the input terminal 610, and the status signal can be sent to the gateway device 30 via the communication module 200.

输入端子610和输出端子620可以是已知类型的各种接线端子，例如螺帽接线端子，其包括螺帽接线柱、导线插座。所述导线插座中的电触点电连接至印刷电路板250，进而连接至其上的控制模块300。将两根导线的一端分别连接至负载20的两端，将两根导线的另一端分别***一对输入端子610或输出端子620的两个导线插座中，再旋紧螺帽接线柱使得导线与电触点保持紧密接触，即可将负载20与负载控制装置10的控制模块300连接。The input terminal 610 and the output terminal 620 may be various terminals of known types, such as a nut terminal, which includes a nut terminal and a wire socket. The electrical contacts in the wire socket are electrically connected to the printed circuit board 250 and then to the control module 300 thereon. Connect one end of the two wires to the two ends of the load 20 respectively, insert the other ends of the two wires into the two wire sockets of a pair of input terminals 610 or output terminals 620, and then tighten the nut terminals to make the wires and The electrical contacts are kept in close contact, and the load 20 can be connected to the control module 300 of the load control device 10.

在本公开中，为负载控制装置10预留了可从外部接取的输出端子620和输入端子610，使得可以通过导线将负载20至负载控制装置10。由此，负载控制装置10可用于控制任意负载20，而不是作为特定负载20的专用辅助模块存在，提高了负载控制装置10的通用性。此外，采用导线连接的方案，使得负载控制装置10不是必须紧挨着负载20设置，大大地提高了空间配置的灵活程度，实现负载20控制***的合理布局。In the present disclosure, externally accessible output terminals 620 and input terminals 610 are reserved for the load control device 10 so that the load 20 can be connected to the load control device 10 through wires. Thus, the load control device 10 can be used to control any load 20, instead of being a dedicated auxiliary module for a specific load 20, and the versatility of the load control device 10 is improved. In addition, the use of the wire connection solution makes the load control device 10 not necessarily arranged next to the load 20, which greatly improves the flexibility of the space configuration and realizes the reasonable layout of the load 20 control system.

在一个实施例中，所述输入端子610替代地连接至本地控制器50(参见图4的虚线部分)。所述本地控制器50例如为开关，本地控制器50可根据开关的按下状态产生本地控制命令。所述控制模块300通过输入端子610接收该本地控制命令，并根据该本地控制命令经由输出端子620向负载20输出相应的状态控制信号。由此，本地控制器50可通过导线连接至输入端子610，并设置在负载20控制器外部的适当位置。由此，可为负载20控制器的本地控制提供了额外的解决方案，满足操作现场的不同需要。In one embodiment, the input terminal 610 is instead connected to the local controller 50 (see the dashed part in FIG. 4). The local controller 50 is, for example, a switch, and the local controller 50 can generate a local control command according to the pressed state of the switch. The control module 300 receives the local control command through the input terminal 610, and outputs a corresponding state control signal to the load 20 via the output terminal 620 according to the local control command. In this way, the local controller 50 can be connected to the input terminal 610 through a wire, and set at an appropriate position outside the controller of the load 20. Therefore, an additional solution can be provided for the local control of the load 20 controller to meet the different needs of the operation site.

外壳400内部容纳有电源模块100，所述电源模块可从外部被接取。根据一个实施例，电源模块100设置于外壳400主体400b的上部。所述电源模块100由火线端子120和零线端子110组成。外壳400可包括用于电源模块100的第四外壳部440。所述第四外壳部440位于外壳400主体400b的上部，且插置与第一外壳部410的上部和第二外壳部420的上部之间。所述第一外壳部410和第四外壳部440一起限定用于零线端子110的接收座。所述第二外壳部420和第四外壳部440一起限定用于火线端子120的接收座。The housing 400 contains a power supply module 100 inside, and the power supply module can be accessed from the outside. According to one embodiment, the power module 100 is disposed on the upper part of the main body 400b of the housing 400. The power module 100 is composed of a live terminal 120 and a neutral terminal 110. The housing 400 may include a fourth housing part 440 for the power module 100. The fourth housing part 440 is located at the upper part of the main body 400 b of the housing 400 and is inserted between the upper part of the first housing part 410 and the upper part of the second housing part 420. The first housing part 410 and the fourth housing part 440 together define a receiving seat for the neutral terminal 110. The second housing part 420 and the fourth housing part 440 together define a receiving seat for the live terminal 120.

火线端子120和零线端子110可以是已知类型的各种接线端子，例如螺帽接线端子，其包括螺帽接线柱、火线或零线插座。所述火线或零线插座中的电触点通过线束连接至印刷电路板250上的电源接口。将火线或零线***插座中，旋紧螺帽接线柱使得火线或零线与插座中的电触点保持紧密接触，即可为印刷电路板250以及位于其上的通信模块200和控制模块300供电。有利地，根据本实新型的火线端子120和零线端子110可连接至梳状接线母排，使得接线美观，维护方便。The live wire terminal 120 and the neutral wire terminal 110 may be various terminals of known types, for example, a screw cap terminal, which includes a screw cap terminal, a live wire or a neutral wire socket. The electrical contacts in the live or neutral socket are connected to the power interface on the printed circuit board 250 through a wire harness. Insert the live wire or neutral wire into the socket, and tighten the screw cap terminal to keep the live wire or neutral wire in close contact with the electrical contacts in the socket, that is, the printed circuit board 250 and the communication module 200 and control module 300 located on it. powered by. Advantageously, the live wire terminal 120 and the neutral wire terminal 110 according to the present invention can be connected to the comb-shaped wiring bus bar, which makes the wiring beautiful and easy to maintain.

与现有技术中通过通信线取电的负载控制装置10相比，本公开在负载控制装置10中设置有带火线、零线端子110的独立电源模块100，可实现负载控制装置10的灵活布置，降低了布线的复杂程度，并大大地简化了取电操作。此外，负载控制装置10的内部也无需在通信线路及电源模块100中进行电源隔离，从而简化了负载控制装置10内部电路设计，减小了负载控制装置10的体积和制造成本。Compared with the load control device 10 in the prior art that takes power through a communication line, the present disclosure is provided with an independent power supply module 100 with live and neutral terminals 110 in the load control device 10, which can realize the flexible arrangement of the load control device 10 , It reduces the complexity of wiring and greatly simplifies the operation of taking power. In addition, the interior of the load control device 10 does not require power isolation in the communication line and the power module 100, which simplifies the internal circuit design of the load control device 10, and reduces the volume and manufacturing cost of the load control device 10.

负载控制装置10可包括光学指示元件800，例如LED灯。所述光学指示元件800与印刷电路板250上的控制模块300电连接。负载控制装置10的外壳400的鼻部400n，更具体地，第二外壳部420上设置有用于光学指示元件800的开口，从而光学指示元件800从负载控制装置10外部可见。The load control device 10 may include an optical indicator element 800, such as an LED light. The optical indicating element 800 is electrically connected to the control module 300 on the printed circuit board 250. The nose portion 400n of the housing 400 of the load control device 10, more specifically, the second housing portion 420 is provided with an opening for the optical indicating element 800, so that the optical indicating element 800 is visible from the outside of the load control device 10.

光学指示元件800可通过变化闪烁频率或发光颜色等方式来指示所述通信模块200与网关设备30的不同连接状态。例如，在负载控制装置10正在执行入网操作(尝试连接至网关设备30)时，光学指示元件800发出以较高频率闪烁的绿光；当负载控制装置10稳定连接至网关设备30时，光学指示元件800持续发出绿光或发出以较低的频率闪烁的绿光；当负载控制装置10与网关设备30失去连接时，光学指示元件800持续发出红光。当然，根据本公开的光学指示元件800不限于上述发光方式。由此，负载控制装置10可以通过可视的形式通知用户负载控制装置80010与网络的连接状态。The optical indicating element 800 can indicate different connection states of the communication module 200 and the gateway device 30 by changing the blinking frequency or the light-emitting color. For example, when the load control device 10 is performing a network access operation (trying to connect to the gateway device 30), the optical indicator element 800 emits a green light flashing at a higher frequency; when the load control device 10 is stably connected to the gateway device 30, the optical indicator The element 800 continuously emits green light or emits a green light flashing at a lower frequency; when the load control device 10 loses connection with the gateway device 30, the optical indicator element 800 continues to emit red light. Of course, the optical indicating element 800 according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned light emitting mode. Thus, the load control device 10 can notify the user of the connection status of the load control device 80010 to the network in a visual form.

负载控制装置10还包括按钮500，用于手动操作负载控制装置10。所述按钮500包括按钮体520和切换触头530，所述切换触头530根据按钮体520的按下状态切换其通断状态。外壳400鼻部400n的前部面处可设置有用于按钮500的开口。在图3所示的实施例中，所述开口设置在第二外壳部420上。按钮体520穿过所述开口设置。切换触头530设置在印刷电路板250上，并与控制模块300电连接。The load control device 10 further includes a button 500 for manually operating the load control device 10. The button 500 includes a button body 520 and a switch contact 530, and the switch contact 530 switches its on-off state according to the pressed state of the button body 520. The front surface of the nose portion 400n of the housing 400 may be provided with an opening for the button 500. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the opening is provided on the second housing part 420. The button body 520 is disposed through the opening. The switching contact 530 is arranged on the printed circuit board 250 and is electrically connected to the control module 300.

根据本公开的一个实施例，按钮500可根据其按下状态产生本地控制信号，控制模块300根据该本地控制信号向负载20输出相应的状态控制信号。例如，当所述按钮500被按下时，控制模块300控制负载20，使得负载20中的触点从闭合状态至打开状态。该本地控制信号可特别有利地用于在紧急情况下需要立即切断负载20的电连接的情形。该紧急情况例如为负载控制装置10与网关设备30或网关设备30与用户模块40无线连接丢失，导致负载控制装置10接收到中央控制命令。按钮500为负载控制装置10提供了额外的人机接口，使得可以紧急切断负载20，确保用电安全。According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the button 500 can generate a local control signal according to its pressed state, and the control module 300 outputs a corresponding state control signal to the load 20 according to the local control signal. For example, when the button 500 is pressed, the control module 300 controls the load 20 so that the contacts in the load 20 change from a closed state to an open state. This local control signal can be particularly advantageously used in situations where the electrical connection of the load 20 needs to be cut off immediately in an emergency. The emergency situation is, for example, that the wireless connection between the load control device 10 and the gateway device 30 or the gateway device 30 and the user module 40 is lost, causing the load control device 10 to receive a central control command. The button 500 provides an additional man-machine interface for the load control device 10, so that the load 20 can be cut off in an emergency to ensure the safety of electricity use.

根据本公开的另一个实施例，按钮500根据其按下状态产生退网信号，所述控制模块300根据所述退网信号断开所述通信模块200与所述网关设备30的连接。根据一个实施例，退网信号可以在长按该按钮500的情况下产生。在负载控制装置10与网关设备30通信不畅的情况下，用户可以手动地操作负载控制装置10，使得负载控制装置10主动离开网络，以重新执行入网操作，即重新将负载控制装置10连接至网关设备30。According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the button 500 generates an exit signal according to its pressed state, and the control module 300 disconnects the communication module 200 from the gateway device 30 according to the exit signal. According to an embodiment, the logout signal may be generated when the button 500 is long pressed. In the case where the communication between the load control device 10 and the gateway device 30 is not smooth, the user can manually operate the load control device 10 so that the load control device 10 actively leaves the network to perform the network access operation again, that is, reconnect the load control device 10 to Gateway device 30.

图5和图6示出了按钮体520的具体结构。按钮体520大体上由三部分组成：在按钮体520的前部呈凸台状的按钮帽521、从按钮帽521后部周边凸出形成帽檐状的凸缘522和位于按钮体520后部的触头致动部523。5 and 6 show the specific structure of the button body 520. The button body 520 is roughly composed of three parts: a button cap 521 that is in the shape of a boss at the front of the button body 520, a brim-shaped flange 522 protruding from the periphery of the rear of the button cap 521, and a rear part of the button body 520 Contact actuation part 523.

图7示出了按钮体520装配至外壳400的状态。按钮帽521安装为从外壳400的内部穿过外壳400上的开口朝向负载控制装置10的外部突出。凸缘522和触头致动部523位于外壳400的内部。触头致动部523朝向外壳400的内部突出且与按钮500的切换触头530相对。FIG. 7 shows a state where the button body 520 is assembled to the housing 400. The button cap 521 is installed to protrude from the inside of the housing 400 through an opening on the housing 400 toward the outside of the load control device 10. The flange 522 and the contact actuating portion 523 are located inside the housing 400. The contact actuating portion 523 protrudes toward the inside of the housing 400 and is opposite to the switching contact 530 of the button 500.

凸缘522可包括第一侧边522a、第二侧边522b、第三侧边522c和第四侧边522d。The flange 522 may include a first side 522a, a second side 522b, a third side 522c, and a fourth side 522d.

在安装位置，第一侧边522a靠近印刷电路板250的带电部位。由于印刷电路板250通过火线和零线高压供电，需要特别地确保用户操作按钮500时的用电安全。为此，凸缘522在第一侧边522a包括弯折部524，该弯折部524朝向远离所述带电部位的方向延伸。由于弯折部524的存在，从用户操作位置到带电部位的爬电距离增加(如图7中的虚线路径所示)，加强了用户操作位置和带电部位之间的绝缘。In the installation position, the first side 522a is close to the charged part of the printed circuit board 250. Since the printed circuit board 250 is powered by the live wire and the neutral wire high voltage, it is necessary to ensure the safety of electricity consumption when the user operates the button 500. To this end, the flange 522 includes a bent portion 524 on the first side 522a, and the bent portion 524 extends in a direction away from the charged part. Due to the presence of the bent portion 524, the creepage distance from the user's operating position to the live part is increased (as shown by the dashed path in FIG. 7), which strengthens the insulation between the user's operating position and the live part.

返回参考图6，按钮帽521包括挖空部525，所述挖空部525朝向所述触头致动部523一侧敞开。按钮帽521形成空心的结构，其厚度被减薄，从而避免在按钮体520的注塑成型过程中出现的缩孔、气泡等制造缺陷。Referring back to FIG. 6, the button cap 521 includes a hollow portion 525 that opens toward the contact actuation portion 523 side. The button cap 521 forms a hollow structure, and its thickness is reduced, so as to avoid manufacturing defects such as shrinkage holes and air bubbles that occur in the injection molding process of the button body 520.

此外，按钮体520的触头致动部523在与第一外壳部410和第二外壳部420接合的方向垂直的边缘处包括倒角526。在第一外壳部410和第二外壳部420接合操作之前，按钮体520已经被装配至第二外壳部420，而印刷电路板250已经被装配置第一外壳部410。在接合操作期间，按钮体520可能发生轻微地晃动而偏离其初始位置，导致按钮体520和连接至印刷电路板250上的切换触点发生干涉。倒角526可以起到导向的作用，防止按钮体520和切换触点之间干涉的发生，有利于接合操作的顺利进行。In addition, the contact actuating portion 523 of the button body 520 includes a chamfer 526 at an edge perpendicular to the direction in which the first housing portion 410 and the second housing portion 420 are engaged. Before the joining operation of the first housing part 410 and the second housing part 420, the button body 520 has been assembled to the second housing part 420, and the printed circuit board 250 has been assembled with the first housing part 410. During the joining operation, the button body 520 may slightly shake and deviate from its initial position, causing interference between the button body 520 and the switching contacts connected to the printed circuit board 250. The chamfer 526 can play a guiding role, prevent interference between the button body 520 and the switching contact, and facilitate the smooth progress of the joining operation.

按钮帽521的第二侧边522b设置有缺口形状的按压引导槽528。与此相对应地，第二外壳部420可在其内侧包括与所述按压引导槽528互补的按压引导肋428(图8)。借助按钮帽521的按压引导槽528和第二外壳部420的按压引导肋428的配合，按钮500按下的操作可被引导，提高按压操作的稳定性。The second side 522b of the button cap 521 is provided with a notch-shaped pressing guide groove 528.
