Pref. the stationary remote-control transmitter is coupled to a pre-programmed computer control. USE - Shop display window etc.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Beleuchtungssystem mit mehreren, in verschiedenen Stellungen angeordneten Lichtquellen.The invention relates to a lighting system several, arranged in different positions Light sources.

Es ist bekannt, mit Hilfe einer Fernbedienung verschiedene Funktionen eines Gerätes auszulösen. Bei Verwendung von Steuergeräten im Infrarotbereich besteht der Nachteil, daß der Sender zum anzusteuernden Gerät "Sichtkontakt" haben muß.It is known using a remote control trigger various functions of a device. At The use of control devices in the infrared range exists Disadvantage that the transmitter has "visual contact" with the device to be controlled must have.

Es gibt Anwendungsfälle, in denen die Infrarotsteuerung versagt, nämlich dann, wenn sich zwischen Sender und Empfängerteil ein Hindernis befindet.There are use cases where the infrared control fails, namely if there is between the transmitter and Receiver part is an obstacle.

In solchen Fällen werden in der Regel drahtlose Fernsteuerungen im KW-Bereich verwendet. So wird z. B. das Öffnen und Schließen von Garagentoren mit kleinen UKW- oder KW- Handsendern bewirkt.In such cases, they are usually wireless Remote controls used in the KW area. So z. B. that Opening and closing garage doors with small FM or KW Hand transmitters.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, dem Anwender von dekorativen Beleuchtungssystemen, z. B. in Schaufenstern oder Ausstellungsräumen, die Möglichkeit zu eröffnen, eine Mehrzahl von Lichtquellen beliebig anzuordnen und drahtlos hell oder dunkel zu dimmen, wobei entsprechende Leistungsstromversorgung vorausgesetzt wird.The invention has for its object the user of decorative lighting systems, e.g. B. in shop windows or Showrooms, the possibility to open a majority of light sources to arrange and wireless bright or dim dark, taking appropriate power supply is assumed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Kennzeichnungsmerkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige weitere Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This task is characterized by the characteristics of the Claim 1 solved. Appropriate further configurations can be found in the subclaims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungssystem kann für die gesamte Palette der Niedervolt-Beleuchtungssysteme (Halogenlampen), d. h. für Seilsysteme, Lichtschienen, Einzelleuchten etc., Verwendung finden, ist aber auch für Beleuchtungseinrichtungen mit normalen Glühlampen verwendbar. Jede der mit entsprechendem Empfangs- und Steuerteil ausgerüsteten Lichtquellen kann innerhalb des Empfangsbereiches beliebig im Raum angeordnet werden, wobei es keine Rolle spielt, ob zwischen dem Sender und der Lichtquelle sich ein Hindernis, z. B. auch eine Wand, befindet. Es wird somit ein dynamisches Beleuchtungssystem geschaffen, d. h. ein sogenanntes "Funk-Leuchten-Dimmsystem", bei dem mehrere Lampen unabhängig voneinander, einzeln oder in Gruppen im Wechsel hell oder dunkel gedimmt werden können. Dies geschieht dynamisch über fest programmierte Computerprogramme. Die Computerprogramme bestimmen das Ansteuern der Lampen. Das Lichtspiel wird per Programmwahltastendruck am Sendergehäuse in Funktion gesetzt. Das System hat beispielsweise 8 Programmwahltasten. Bei der Funksteuerung ist sowohl Handbetrieb (mit einem Handsender) oder auch Computersteuerung möglich.The lighting system according to the invention can for the entire Range of low-voltage lighting systems (halogen lamps), d. H. for rope systems, light rails, individual lights etc.,  Find use, but is also for lighting devices usable with normal light bulbs. Each one with the corresponding Receiving and control unit equipped light sources can arranged anywhere within the reception area , it doesn't matter whether between the transmitter and the light source is an obstacle, e.g. B. also a wall, located. It becomes a dynamic lighting system created, d. H. a so-called "radio light dimming system", where several lamps independently, individually or can be dimmed in groups alternately light or dark. This happens dynamically via permanently programmed Computer programs. The computer programs determine that Control the lamps. The play of light is per Press the program selection button on the transmitter housing. For example, the system has 8 program selection buttons. In the Radio control is both manual operation (with a hand transmitter) or also computer control possible.

Die vorgesehenen Anwendungsgebiete sind zum einen die Auflockerung von "starren" Beleuchtungssituationen, z. B. in Schaufenstern, durch programmgesteuerte, d. h. nach vorprogrammierten Mustern ablaufende Lichtquellenwechsel und Lichtintensitätswechsel, zum anderen die individuelle Einstellung der gesamten Raumbeleuchtung von jedem Punkt im Raum mittels Handsender.The intended areas of application are on the one hand Relaxation of "rigid" lighting situations, e.g. B. in Storefronts, through program-controlled, d. H. to preprogrammed patterns of changing light sources and Light intensity changes, on the other hand the individual Setting the entire room lighting from any point in the room Room using a hand transmitter.

Kurzbeschreibung der SchaltungBrief description of the circuit

Die decodierten Signale können nach Vergleich mit dem Pegel an den Pins 1 bis 4 der ICs 2 und 3 verwertet werden. Stimmen die Pegel überein, wird z. B. einer Lichtquelle der Befehl gegeben, beim nächsten Dimmsignal dunkel zu werden (zweimal hintereinander low-Pegel an Pin 17 von IC 3). Danach kann z. B. einer anderen über die Lötbrücken anders vorcodierten Lichtquelle der Befehl übermittelt werden, ebenfalls beim nächsten Dimmsignal hell zu werden (einmal low-Pegel an pin 17 von IC 3).The decoded signals can be used after comparison with the level at pins 1 to 4 of ICs 2 and 3 . If the levels match, e.g. B. gave a light source the command to go dark at the next dimming signal (twice in a row low level at pin 17 of IC 3 ). Then z. For example, the command may be transmitted to another light source that has been pre-coded differently via the solder bridges, to also become bright with the next dimming signal (once low level at pin 17 of IC 3 ).

Wird jetzt das Dimmsignal gesendet (low-Pegel an Pin 17 von IC 2), werden nur die vorerwähnten, vorselektierten Lichtquellen gedimmt, da das Dimmsignal mit einem Reset (Pin 2 von IC 4) abschließt und somit alle Codierungen gelöscht werden.If the dimming signal is now sent (low level at pin 17 of IC 2 ), only the aforementioned, pre-selected light sources are dimmed, since the dimming signal ends with a reset (pin 2 of IC 4 ) and all codes are deleted.

Die Dimmzeit von ganz hell zu ganz dunkel und umgekehrt wird durch ein RC-Glied festgesetzt. Sie kann auf Wunsch geändert werden. Bei z. B. zeitlich halbiertem Dimmsignal werden die vorselektierten Lichtquellen beispielsweise nur von voller auf halbe Helligkeit bzw. von absoluter Dunkelheit auf halbe Helligkeit gedimmt. Somit ist es möglich, jeder Lichtquelle im System einen anderen Helligkeitswert zuzuordnen.The dimming time from very bright to very dark and vice versa fixed by an RC link. It can be changed on request will. At z. B. halved in time dimming signal preselected light sources, for example, only from full to half the brightness or from absolute darkness to half Brightness dimmed. So it is possible to use any light source assign a different brightness value in the system.

Die Leistungstransistoren werden von einem Rechtecksignal mit gleichbleibender Frequenz und je nach Helligkeit der Lichtquelle unterschiedlichen Pausenzeiten angesteuert.The power transistors are a square wave with constant frequency and depending on the brightness of the Light source controlled different pause times.

Da das programmgesteuerte Funk-Lichtsystem nicht nur im Niedervoltbereich, sondern auch direkt am Netz eingesetzt werden soll, bleibt die vorliegende Schaltung nicht die einzige. Bei direktem Netzbetrieb können z. B. die Leistungstransistoren sowie Teile der Ansteuerung durch eine Phasenanschnittsteuerung ersetzt werden.Because the program-controlled radio lighting system not only in the low-voltage range, but also used directly on the network should be, the present circuit is not the only one. With direct network operation z. B. the power transistors as well as parts of the control by a phase control be replaced.
