Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent switches, and more particularly to an intelligent remote-controlled wall switch based on Internet of Things technology. Background Art

[0002] Smart home appliance switches have the same appearance and installation dimensions as existing mechanical wall switches, but with electronic components or microcomputer control boards built into them. They are operating units that enable or disable circuits or change circuits for various electrical appliances according to their own functional requirements. Smart home appliance switches use microcomputer intelligent switch control technology to maximize the performance of the appliances themselves.

[0003] On / off control, also known as bang-bang control, is used in many household appliances and lighting fixtures due to its simplicity and ease of implementation. However, conventional on / off control cannot meet the demands for improved control accuracy and energy conservation. Within a control cycle, the controlled variable has only two states: either on, with a fixed constant value, or off, with the controlled variable at zero. This fixed control mode lacks the characteristics of manual on / off control, which requires a human to select different on / off control strategies based on the error and its changing trend. For example, within a control cycle T, the timing of the controlled variable output can be adjusted as needed. Intelligent on / off control, which relies on human knowledge and experience to select different control strategies based on a specific pattern, is called intelligent on / off control.

[0004] Existing smart wall switches can remotely control indoor appliances, but they only have wiring control, making it difficult to centrally and uniformly control all appliances. In addition, there may be repeated and contradictory control commands for one appliance, resulting in the inability to correctly issue control commands, which causes certain inconveniences during use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent remote-controlled wall switch based on Internet of Things technology, which can realize a wireless communication method so that the intelligent wall switch can remotely control all remote-controlled electrical appliances in the house. In order to avoid repeated and contradictory control commands, the remote-controlled electrical appliances are equipped with a unique external controller. When sending a control command to the remote-controlled electrical appliance, a data connection is established by inserting the external controller into any intelligent wall switch, and then a unique authentication is performed. After the authentication is passed, the designated remote-controlled electrical appliance can be controlled by the intelligent wall switch. Compared with the existing wall switches, the present invention can realize remote control of all remote-controlled electrical appliances, while avoiding the inconvenience caused by invalid instructions and improving the rationality of remote-controlled electrical appliance control.

[0007] 2. Technical solution

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0009] An intelligent remote-controlled wall switch based on Internet of Things technology includes an intelligent wall switch, which includes a control panel, a display module, a processor module, a main communication module and an external control module. The main communication module is connected to multiple remote-controlled electrical appliances, which include an electrical appliance body, a switch controller module and a secondary communication module, and the secondary communication module is connected to the main communication module. The external control module includes multiple external data sockets, and matching external controllers are plugged into the external data sockets. The external controller includes an external visual ball sleeve and a control module embedded in the outer end of the external visual ball sleeve. The control module includes a data transmission interface module, a data storage module, a power supply module and a mode controller module.

[0010] Furthermore, an inner electric control core is provided on the inner side of the outer visual ball sleeve, and a middle light shield is provided between the outer visual ball sleeve and the inner electric control core. The control module and the inner electric control core are electrically connected, and the control module and the middle light shield are fixedly connected. A plurality of evenly distributed light leakage holes are opened on the middle light shield, and matching light-shielding balls are provided at the light leakage holes. A thermoplastic rod is fixedly connected between the light-shielding ball and the inner electric control core. After the external controller is connected to the smart wall switch, power is supplied to the inner electric control core through the control module, and then the light-shielding ball is adsorbed, forcing it to compress the thermoplastic rod and enter the light leakage hole for sealing. This is the working mode of the external controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer visible ball cover is made of a transparent material, the middle light shield is made of a light-proof material, and a distance is maintained between the light-shielding ball and the light leakage hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the internal electric control core includes an electromagnetic core, a fluorescent sleeve and multiple electric heating plates. The fluorescent sleeve covers the outer surface of the electromagnetic core. The electric heating plates are evenly embedded in the fluorescent sleeve, and the electric heating plates correspond to the thermoplastic rod. An electromagnet is installed in the electromagnetic core. The electromagnet in the electromagnetic core will generate a magnetic field to adsorb the photosynthetic ball when energized, and the fluorescent sleeve can emit fluorescence. In the non-working mode of the external controller, for example, when it is accidentally dropped or lost, it is convenient for the user to retrieve it in time. The electric heating plate is used to heat the thermoplastic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the photosynthetic ball includes an outer suction hemisphere and an inner light hemisphere that are symmetrically connected, and the inner light hemisphere is located on the inner side and fixedly connected to the thermoplastic rod. The outer suction hemisphere can be absorbed by the magnetic field of the electromagnet and is not prone to external reflection and interference. The inner light hemisphere can reflect the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent sleeve, thereby improving the fluorescence effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer suction hemisphere is made of ferromagnetic material, and the inner light hemisphere is made of reflective material.

[0015] Furthermore, the thermoplastic rod includes an outer sleeve, a hot melt core and a thermal wire. The outer sleeve and the thermal wire are fixedly connected between the inner light hemisphere and the electric heating plate, and the thermal wire is located on the inner side of the outer sleeve. The hot melt core is filled in the outer sleeve. After the electric heating plate is heated, the hot melt core is heated and melted. At this time, the thermoplastic rod as a whole is in a compressible state. After the photosynthetic ball is magnetically attracted, the thermoplastic rod can be squeezed into the light leakage hole to block it. After the electric heating plate is turned off, the hot melt core cools and solidifies to maintain the compressed shape of the thermoplastic rod, thereby turning off the electromagnet to reduce energy consumption and still remain in the working mode.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer sleeve is made of a flexible material, the hot melt core is made of a hot melt resin material, and the heat conductive wire is made of an elastic heat conductive material in a spiral structure.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of evenly distributed LED lamp beads are installed at the outer end of the middle light shield, and the luminous colors of the LED lamp beads and the fluorescent sleeve are kept different. The LED lamp beads can emit light, which can improve the aesthetics of the external controller on the one hand, and distinguish the working mode on the other hand. When the external controller is inserted into the smart wall switch to control the remote-controlled electrical appliance, the LED lamp beads emit light, which is the control state in the working mode. When the external controller is inserted into the smart wall switch and does not control the remote-controlled electrical appliance, the LED lamp beads do not emit light, which is the sleep state in the working mode.

[0018] Furthermore, the data storage module stores unique instruction authentication data, which corresponds to a unique remote-controlled appliance, ensuring that the external controller can only control the unique remote-controlled appliance, avoiding conflicting control commands, and improving the rationality of using the remote-controlled appliance.

The outer suction hemisphere can be attracted by the magnetic field of the electromagnet and is not easily interfered by external reflections. The inner light hemisphere can reflect the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent sleeve, thereby improving the fluorescence effect.

The outer sleeve and the thermal wire are fixedly connected between the inner light hemisphere and the electric heating plate, and the thermal wire is located on the inner side of the outer sleeve. The hot melt core is filled in the outer sleeve. After the electric heating plate is heated, the hot melt core is heated and melted. At this time, the thermoplastic rod as a whole is in a compressible state. After the photosynthetic ball is magnetically attracted, the thermoplastic rod can be squeezed into the light leakage hole to block it. After the electric heating plate is turned off, the hot melt core cools and solidifies to maintain the compressed shape of the thermoplastic rod, thereby turning off the electromagnet to reduce energy consumption and still remain in the working mode.

[0026] (6) In this solution, a plurality of evenly distributed LED lamp beads are installed at the outer end of the middle light shield, and the luminous colors of the LED lamp beads and the fluorescent sleeve are kept different. The LED lamp beads can emit light, which can improve the aesthetics of the external controller on the one hand, and distinguish the working mode on the other hand. When the external controller is inserted into the smart wall switch to control the remote control appliance, the LED lamp beads emit light, which is the control state in the working mode. When the external controller is inserted into the smart wall switch and does not control the remote control appliance, the LED lamp beads do not emit light, which is the sleep state in the working mode.
