Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment control, and in particular to a dual-path logic control module. Background Art

[0002] There are many suspended lamps on the market, and some also offer flexible height adjustment via motorized retraction and extension of the sling, allowing the brightness and breadth of the lighting to be tailored to the environment. To this end, most suspended lamps have separate control buttons for turning the lights on and off and retracting and extending the sling. Furthermore, for some lamps with adjustable brightness, color, and lighting modes, additional control buttons with different functions are required. Even for some lamps with a wide range of functions, dedicated control panels are required, or functional control can be performed via mobile phones or other terminals. As you can imagine, the increased functionality of lamps places higher demands on the control interface. Poorly designed control logic can significantly reduce the user experience. Furthermore, compared to the simple, straightforward on / off control mode of traditional lamps, the control logic of newer lamps is difficult for the elderly to adapt to. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the operating structure of a dual-path logic control module disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , the dual-path logic control module may include the following contents.

[0023] A control panel connected to an external power supply and equipped with an output port;

[0024] The output port is electrically connected to the single-mode operation port of the first electrical appliance, the first operation port or the second operation port of the second electrical appliance;

[0025] The external power supply is connected to the single-mode operation port, the first operation port or the second operation port via the output port;

[0026] The output port is controlled by the first switch and the second switch.

[0027] Here, taking a lamp with a liftable cable as an example, the first electrical appliance may be the lamp, the second electrical appliance may be a motor for reeling / unreeling the cable to lift the lamp, the function of the first switch is set to on, and the function of the second switch is set to off.

[0028] The control panel is connected to 220V mains electricity and supplies power to the first electrical appliance or the second electrical appliance according to the connection status of the output port.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first switch is used to control the output port to switch and connect to the single-mode operation port, the first operation port or the second operation port when triggered.

[0030] Here, the second switch is used to disconnect the output port from the single-mode operation port, the first operation port or the second operation port, thereby stopping the lamp or the motor from operating.

[0031] The first switch is used to select the next operating port for connection after the connection with the previous operating port is disconnected, so as to realize sequential connection with the single-mode operating port, the first operating port and the second operating port after being disconnected by the second switch, thereby realizing the switching operation of multiple functions of two electrical appliances.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second switch is used to disconnect the output port from the single-mode operation port, the first operation port, or the second operation port when triggered.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the first switch is triggered, the output port is connected to the single-mode operation port, and the first electrical appliance is powered on and operated.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the output port is connected to the single-mode operation port and the second switch is triggered, the first electrical appliance is powered off.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the first switch is triggered after the first electrical appliance is powered off, the output port is connected to the first operation port of the second electrical appliance, and the second electrical appliance operates in the first mode.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the output port is connected to the first operation port and the second switch is triggered, the second electrical appliance is powered off.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the first switch is triggered after the second electrical appliance is powered off in the first mode, the output port is connected to the second operation port of the second electrical appliance, and the second electrical appliance operates in the second mode.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the output port is connected to the second operation port and the second electrical appliance operates in the second mode to the end of the trip, the output port cuts off power to the second electrical appliance.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the second electrical appliance is powered off in the second mode, the output port is switched to connect to the single-mode operation port of the first electrical appliance.

[0040] From the above, it can be seen that at the beginning, the lamp is wound up, and the lamp and the motor are in the initial state of power off. At this time, the first switch is triggered, and the lamp is powered on and lit; then the second switch is triggered, and the lamp is powered off and extinguished; then the first switch is triggered, the motor is powered on to unwind, and the lamp descends; then the second switch is triggered, the motor is powered off, and the lamp stops; then the first switch is triggered, and the motor is powered on to rewind; finally, the motor has finished rewinding, the motor is powered off and stopped, and the lamp is powered on and lit.

[0041] Based on the above operation process, when the second switch is triggered again, the lamp is extinguished and the motor stops running, and the whole is restored to the initial state where the lamp is reeled in and both the lamp and the motor are powered off, so that the user can perform cyclic control.

[0042] It can be seen that the above operations of turning on the light, turning off the light, unwinding, parking, and rewinding can be achieved by only two switches, the first switch and the second switch. The control logic is that the two switches are triggered alternately. The user does not need to specifically identify specific function buttons or memorize many operation schemes. Even users who do not fully understand the control logic can call out the required functions through alternate triggering, and the user experience is good.

[0043] It's understandable that the control module proposed in this solution can be applied not only to liftable suspended lamps, but also to a wide range of scenarios, such as the coordinated control of curtains and lamps, the coordinated control of doorbells and access control systems, and the coordinated control of access control systems and air conditioners, significantly improving the level of home intelligence. Furthermore, the control module is highly versatile, enabling simple multi-mode control without the need for specialized design.

[0044] In addition, a remote control module can be installed between the control module and the external power supply, so that wireless control and remote control can be achieved through the remote control or the smart application adapted by the remote control module, further expanding its application scope.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0046] By simply alternating the two switches, the functions of a single-mode appliance and a dual-mode appliance can be controlled sequentially. The control logic is simple and easy to understand, providing a positive user experience. This eliminates the need for separate control modules for multiple appliances, making it widely applicable to a wide range of appliances and reducing component and design costs.
