[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a voice-controlled switch system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a mechanical switch 1, which comprises a switch panel 11 and a base 12. The voice-activated switch system also includes:

[0029] The voice control component includes a sound acquisition component. The detachable module 2 includes a driving component 21, a lever transmission component 22 and a fixing component 23. The lever transmission component 22 is vertically arranged on the outside of the switch panel 11, with protrusions 221 at both ends and the middle section 222 fixedly connected to the driving component 21. The driving component 21 is fixed on the base 12 by the fixing component 23.

[0030] The main control module is connected to the sound acquisition unit and the drive unit 21. In response to receiving the sound acquired by the sound acquisition unit, the drive unit 21 is controlled to rotate in the direction of closing the switch panel 11, so as to drive the lever transmission unit 22 to rotate and close the switch panel 11.

[0031] Therefore, when the main control module receives the sound collected by the sound acquisition device, it controls the drive component 21 to rotate towards the closed switch panel 11. The drive component 21 can drive the central section 222 of the lever transmission component 22 to rotate together towards the closed switch panel 11. Since the two ends of the lever transmission component 22 have protrusions 221, when the central section 222 rotates towards the closed switch panel 11, the protrusion 221 at the lower end of the lever transmission component 22 will first contact the switch panel 11, thereby pushing the switch panel 11 until the switch panel 11 is closed. At this time, the switch is in the closed state. The detachable module 2 in this voice-controlled switch system has a simple structure. It can be added to the already installed mechanical switch to realize the voice control function, which is convenient for installation, removal and maintenance, and helps to reduce the cost of use.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lever transmission member 22 is rod-shaped, and the angle of rotation around its center ranges from 45° to 45°. When the angle is 0°, the lever transmission member 22 is parallel to the direction of the plumb bob. This configuration simplifies the structure of the lever transmission member 22, ensures the closure of the switch panel 11, and effectively prevents mechanical wear and compression.

[0033] In some embodiments, the voice-controlled switch system further includes an ambient light detector connected to the main control module. The ambient light detector detects the ambient light intensity and assists the main control module in controlling the drive unit 21 to prevent accidental sound triggering of the switch panel 11 when the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to a light intensity threshold and a sound is received from the sound acquisition unit. The main control module then controls the drive unit 21 to rotate in the direction of closing the switch panel 11. When the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to the light intensity threshold and a sound is received from the sound acquisition unit, it indicates that the ambient light is weak and the user may need to close the switch panel 11. Therefore, the drive unit 21 is controlled to rotate in the direction of closing the switch panel 11, causing the switch panel 11 to close.

[0034] In some embodiments, the light intensity threshold can range from 100 to 550 lx.

[0035] In some embodiments, the light intensity threshold can be 300 lx. This setting ensures that user needs are met in a timely manner while reducing energy consumption.

[0036] In some embodiments, the voice-controlled switch system further includes a voice recognition module connected to the main control module. This module identifies wake-up words from non-specific users, assisting the main control module in more precisely controlling the drive unit 21. The main control module also controls the drive unit 21 to rotate towards the direction of closing the switch panel 11 when the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to a light intensity threshold and a wake-up word is detected in the sound collected by the sound acquisition device. When the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to the light intensity threshold and a wake-up word is detected in the sound collected by the sound acquisition device, it indicates that the ambient light is weak and the user has a need to close the switch panel 11. Therefore, the drive unit 21 is controlled to rotate towards the direction of closing the switch panel 11, thus closing the switch panel 11 and achieving more precise control and user feedback.

[0037] In some embodiments, the wake word can be preset according to the user's habits and needs.

[0038] In some embodiments, the main control module is further configured to, after controlling the drive member 21 to rotate in the direction of closing the switch panel 11, control the drive member 21 to rotate and reset in response to the switch panel 11 remaining in the closed state for a duration reaching a first threshold duration, thereby driving the lever transmission member 22 to rotate and reset, thus opening the switch panel 11. After controlling the drive member 21 to rotate in the direction of closing the switch panel 11, when the switch panel 11 remains in the closed state for a duration reaching the first threshold duration, it indicates that the user may no longer need the switch panel 11 to be closed. Therefore, the main control module controls the drive member 21 to rotate and reset, thereby driving the lever transmission member 22 to rotate and reset, thus opening the switch panel 11 and reducing energy consumption.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first threshold duration can be 150 to 200 ms, thereby ensuring that the switch panel 11 is effectively pressed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the main control module is also used to control the drive component 21 to stop rotating for a second threshold duration after the switch panel 11 is disconnected, so that the drive component 21 is cooled down, to prevent continuous misoperation, and to prevent the drive component 21 from being worn due to repeated operation, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength.

[0041] In some embodiments, the duration of the second threshold can be 3 to 4 seconds.

[0042] In some embodiments, the voice-controlled switch system further includes a communication module for communication between the main control module and the user terminal, enabling the user to control the voice-controlled switch system through the user terminal.

[0043] In some embodiments, the voice-controlled switch system further includes a power module for supplying power to the voice-controlled switch system.

[0044] In some embodiments, the sound acquisition device can be a microphone, and the driving device 21 can be a miniature servo motor.

[0045] In some embodiments, the microphone can be a high-sensitivity omnidirectional microphone with a frequency response of ±3dB, and the micro servo can be a 9g micro servo, model SG90.

[0046] In some embodiments, the voice recognition module may be an LD3320.

[0047] In some embodiments, the main control module can be an Arduino Nano.

[0048] In some embodiments, the mechanical switch 1 may be made of PLA material.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sound acquisition device, the ambient light detection device, and the voice recognition module are disposed on the base, and the main control module, the communication module, and the power supply module are disposed in the cavity formed by the switch panel 11 and the base 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, the voice-controlled switch system can be used in smart home applications such as voice-controlled household lights.

[0051] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a voice-controlled switch system. The detachable module 2 in the voice-controlled switch system has a simple structure. The detachable module 2 and other voice-controlled related devices can be added to the already installed mechanical switch to realize the voice control function, which is convenient for installation, removal and maintenance and helps to reduce the cost of use.
