Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of Internet of Things and smart lighting technology, specifically to a lighting sensing, control, and status display method suitable for concealed installation. Background Technology

[0002] In IoT application scenarios, the use of various sensors has become very common. Taking lighting control as an example, sensors such as photosensitive sensors, infrared receivers, infrared human body sensors, and radar human body sensors have almost become standard components.

[0003] In existing technologies, for aesthetic reasons, some lighting control devices in home and commercial environments are often concealed, that is, hidden in the ceiling or inside the light fixture.

[0004] However, the above approach generally lacks a good method for organically integrating multi-sensor transceivers and LED indicator lights. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighting sensing, control, and status display method suitable for concealed installation, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for sensing, controlling, and displaying the status of lighting suitable for concealed installation, the method comprising the following steps: Flexible optical fiber is used to transmit light and infrared remote control signals to light and infrared receiving sensors, and internal LED indicator signals are transmitted to the outside. This allows for the reception of light and remote control signals and the external display of LED indicator signals without exposing the sensors.

[0007] Preferably, when using flexible optical fiber to transmit light and infrared remote control signals to light and infrared receiving sensors and to transmit internal LED indicator signals to the outside, a combination of a processor, light-emitting diode, infrared receiving diode, photodiode, radar human body sensing module, and single-core or multi-core optical fiber is used.

[0008] Preferably, the light-emitting diode, infrared receiving diode, and photodiode transmit and receive signals through a fiber optic flexible tube.

[0009] Preferably, the infrared receiving diode and the photodiode share a single optical fiber through methods including but not limited to prism beam splitting or light guide post beam guiding.

[0010] Preferably, the light-emitting diode uses a separate optical fiber to transmit light, with the direction directed as needed to indicate the desired direction.

[0011] Preferably, the light-emitting diode uses a separate optical fiber to transmit light, and when the direction is as required to indicate the direction, the exposed end of the optical fiber is oriented in the required direction to sense the light intensity.

[0012] Preferably, the infrared receiving diode is either an infrared remote control receiving diode or an infrared human body sensing diode, with both options allowed to coexist.

[0013] Preferably, the radar human body sensor is replaced by an infrared human body sensor.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention proposes a method for concealed installation of lighting sensing, control, and status display, in which all devices are concealed, with only the light source exposed; infrared remote control reception and / or infrared human body sensing and photosensitive signals can be combined into one, collected and received through a single optical fiber; light-emitting diodes can be transmitted through a single optical fiber as needed; optical fiber is directional, and can collect light intensity or human body sensing from different directions as needed; optical fiber has flexibility and long-distance transmission characteristics, so the device end can be placed over long distances.

[0015] This invention employs a single optical fiber transmission method to achieve unified transmission of sensing and status indications. It features concealment, flexibility, and convenience. It effectively solves problems such as the transmission of multiple sensors in concealed installations, inaccurate light acquisition, and inconvenient LED status indication. This method is particularly suitable for concealed lighting control devices.

It has significant application and promotion value, especially for energy-saving control and intelligent transformation of lighting fixtures, and has broad application prospects.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0018] This invention provides a technical solution: a method for sensing, controlling, and displaying the status of lighting suitable for concealed installation, the method comprising the following steps: Flexible optical fiber is used to transmit light and infrared remote control signals to light and infrared receiving sensors, and to transmit internal LED indicator signals to the outside. This enables the reception of light and remote control signals and the external display of LED indicator signals without exposing the sensors. Flexible optical fiber is used to transmit light and infrared remote control signals to light and infrared receiving sensors. When transmitting internal LED indicator signals to the outside, a processor, light-emitting diode, infrared receiving diode, photodiode, radar human body sensing module, and single-core or multi-core optical fiber work together. The light-emitting diode, infrared receiving diode, and photodiode transmit and receive signals through fiber optic tubing. The infrared receiving diode and photodiode share a single optical fiber through methods including but not limited to prism beam splitting or light guide pillars. The light-emitting diode transmits light out using a separate optical fiber, with the direction facing the desired indication direction as needed. When the light-emitting diode transmits light out using a separate optical fiber, with the direction facing the desired indication direction as needed, the exposed end of the optical fiber faces the desired direction to sense light intensity. The infrared receiving diode is either an infrared remote control receiving diode or an infrared human body sensing diode, with the possibility of both coexisting. The radar human body sensing sensor is replaced by an infrared human body sensing sensor. Example

[0019] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 The present invention discloses a method for sensing, controlling, and displaying lighting status suitable for concealed installation, comprising a processor, a light-emitting diode (111), an infrared receiving diode (112), a photodiode (113), a radar human body sensing module (114), and a single-core or multi-core optical fiber (110). The above components serve as the core components of the lighting control module.

[0020] Light-emitting diodes, infrared receiving diodes (or infrared human body sensors), and photodiodes are used to collect or transmit signals via fiber optic hoses.

[0021] Infrared receiving diodes and photodiodes can share a single optical fiber through methods including but not limited to prism beam splitting (119) or light guide pillars (117, 118).

[0022] The light-emitting diode uses a separate optical fiber to transmit light, and its direction can be directed in the desired direction as needed.

[0023] After the lighting control module is concealed, the exposed end of the optical fiber can be oriented in the desired direction to sense light intensity. If the infrared receiving diode is replaced with an infrared human body sensor, the optical fiber can be oriented in the direction required for human body detection. Example

[0024] Can be adopted Figure 2 or Figure 3 Example.

[0025] Figure 2 The beam is split using a prism. To avoid and receive light interference, the light-emitting diode is transmitted through a single fiber or a bundle of optical fibers (110); while the infrared receiving diode (and / or human infrared sensor) and the photodiode are transmitted through a single fiber or a bundle of optical fibers. To increase the receiving area of ​​each device, a prism (119) can be used to reasonably disperse the beam. An isosceles right-angled prism is recommended.

[0026] Figure 3 The light guide is provided by a light guide post. The infrared receiving diode (and / or human infrared sensor) and the photodiode use one light guide post (117); the light-emitting diode uses one light guide post (118). The light guide post is beveled to achieve total internal reflection.

[0027] Figure 4 This is an installation diagram. The lighting control module is installed on the upper part of the ceiling, with the fiber optic connector protruding below the ceiling. It is used to collect light, sense human presence, and display the status of the LED lights.
