Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting controller technology, and in particular to a lighting controller with current monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart home and IoT technologies, lighting systems have transformed from simple functional devices into intelligent and integrated systems. Users no longer require simple on / off switches for lighting control; instead, they expect intelligent functions such as remote control, scene switching, and brightness adjustment to improve convenience and comfort in their lives.

[0003] Traditional lighting controllers primarily focus on switching and simple brightness adjustment, lacking current monitoring modules. This prevents effective monitoring of current parameters in lighting circuits, hindering the timely detection of abnormalities such as overload, short circuits, and poor contact. When prolonged overload causes conductor overheating, or poor contact leads to current fluctuations, it can easily trigger fires and other safety accidents, seriously threatening life and property, and posing significant safety hazards and management blind spots. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lighting controller with current monitoring function. It solves the technical problem that existing technologies lack a current monitoring module and cannot detect abnormal conditions such as overload, short circuit, and poor contact in a timely manner. This achieves the purpose of real-time monitoring of abnormal current conditions in the circuit and timely disconnection of the circuit, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lighting controller with current monitoring function, including mounting ears installed on both sides of the lighting controller body, a plurality of current sensors installed inside the lighting controller body, sleeves symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the current sensors via connecting rods, compression springs installed on the inner walls of the sleeves, slide rods slidably connected to the inner walls of the sleeves installed on the outer ends of the compression springs, clamping blocks installed on the outer ends of the slide rods, temperature sensors installed in the mounting grooves opened in the clamping blocks, an abnormality blocking component for blocking circuits with abnormal currents is provided in the slide rods, and fireproof components for preventing the cut circuits from catching fire are provided on the two clamping blocks.

[0006] A further improvement is that the clamping block has an arc-shaped structure, and anti-slip protrusions are installed on the outer side of the clamping block. The center point of the two clamping blocks is coaxial with the wiring hole on the current sensor.

[0007] A further improvement is that the abnormality blocking component includes a sliding hole opened in the sliding rod, an electromagnet installed on the inner wall of the sliding hole, an elastic rope installed on the electromagnet, an end magnetic rod adapted to the sliding hole installed at the outer end of the elastic rope, and a ceramic cutter installed at the end of the end magnetic rod.

[0008] A further improvement is that the clamping block has a groove adapted to the ceramic cutter, and the ceramic cutter is housed in the groove on the clamping block.

[0009] A further improvement is that the fireproof component includes a storage box installed on the top of the clamping block, the storage box is filled with dry powder extinguishing agent, a miniature detonator is installed on the top wall of the storage box, and a sealing membrane is installed in the array of spray nozzles at the bottom of the storage box.

[0010] A further improvement is that the lighting controller body is equipped with control buttons corresponding to multiple circuits, and a display screen is installed on the lighting controller body. The current sensor, temperature sensor, abnormal blocking component and fireproof component are all electrically connected to the display screen.

[0011] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a lighting controller with current monitoring function, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses a current sensor to monitor the current of the lighting wire in real time, and uses the thrust of a compression spring to clamp and fix the wire between two clamping blocks, so that the wire is located at the axis of the current sensor, which improves the anti-interference ability, ensures the uniformity of the magnetic field, and improves the accuracy of the wire current detection. In conjunction with the temperature sensor installed in the clamping block, the wire temperature is monitored in real time to avoid fire caused by the aging of the line and overheating, thus realizing dual monitoring of the lighting wire.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses an electromagnet to generate a repulsive force with the end of the magnetic rod, thereby pushing the end magnetic rod outward and causing the ceramic cutter to move outward along the slot on the clamping block to cut off the clamped wire with abnormal current or temperature in time, thus avoiding fire caused by abnormal wire current.

[0014] 3. When the electromagnet is energized, the control module inside the lighting controller of this utility model simultaneously detonates the miniature detonator, thereby causing the dry powder fire extinguisher in the storage box to break through the sealing membrane on the nozzle, and extinguish any sparks that may appear by spraying out the dry powder, thus improving the overall safety of the device.

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

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Given the current lack of a current monitoring module in existing technologies, which prevents timely detection of abnormalities such as circuit overload, short circuit, and poor contact, this embodiment provides a lighting controller with current monitoring functionality. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-5This embodiment provides a lighting controller with current monitoring function, which can monitor abnormal circuit current in real time and cut off the circuit in time to reduce safety hazards. The lighting controller with current monitoring function includes mounting ears 2 installed on both sides of the lighting controller body 1. Multiple current sensors 3 are installed inside the lighting controller body 1. Sleeves 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the current sensors 3 via connecting rods. Compression springs 5 ​​are installed on the inner wall of the sleeves 4. Sliding rods 6 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeves 4 at the outer end of the compression springs 5. Clamping blocks 7 are installed at the outer end of the sliding rods 6. Temperature sensors 8 are installed in the mounting grooves opened in the clamping blocks 7. Abnormal blocking components 9 are provided in the sliding rods 6 to block circuits with abnormal current. Fireproof components 10 are provided on the two clamping blocks 7 to prevent the cut circuit from catching fire.

[0029] The clamping block 7 has an arc-shaped structure, and anti-slip protrusions are installed on the outer side of the clamping block 7. The center point of the two clamping blocks 7 is coaxial with the wiring hole on the current sensor 3. The lighting wires are passed through the wiring hole on the current sensor 3 in sequence and between the two clamping blocks 7. The compression spring 5 is used to clamp and fix wires of different diameters between the two clamping blocks 7, and their center point is coaxial with the center point of the wiring hole of the current sensor 3. This makes the wires located at the axis of the current sensor 3, improving anti-interference ability, ensuring magnetic field uniformity, and improving the accuracy of wire current detection. If the wire current is abnormal, its temperature will also change. The temperature sensor 8 inside the clamping block 7 can monitor the wire temperature in real time, avoiding fire caused by overheating due to aging of the circuit, and realizing dual monitoring of the lighting wires.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] If current sensor 3 and temperature sensor 8 detect abnormal current and temperature in the lighting fixture's wiring, respectively, to prevent continued current transmission from causing a short circuit or even a fire, therefore, based on embodiment one, as follows... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device is also equipped with an abnormal blocking component 9. The abnormal blocking component 9 includes a sliding hole 91 opened in the sliding rod 6. An electromagnet 92 is installed on the inner wall of the sliding hole 91. An elastic rope 93 is installed on the electromagnet 92. An end magnetic rod 94 adapted to the sliding hole 91 is installed at the outer end of the elastic rope 93. A ceramic cutter 95 is installed at the end of the end magnetic rod 94.

[0032] The clamping block 7 has a groove adapted to the ceramic cutter 95, and the ceramic cutter 95 is housed in the groove on the clamping block 7. If the current sensor 3 detects an abnormal current in the wire or the temperature sensor 8 detects an abnormal increase in the wire temperature exceeding the preset value, the electromagnet 92 is energized and generates a repulsive force with the end of the magnetic rod 94, thereby pushing the end magnetic rod 94 outward and causing the ceramic cutter 95 to move outward along the groove on the clamping block 7 to cut the clamped wire, thus preventing the abnormal current from causing a fire.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] As the abnormal blocking component 9 cuts off the abnormal wire, sporadic sparks may be generated during this process. To prevent these sparks from igniting and causing a fire, based on Embodiment 2, as follows... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device is also equipped with a fireproof component 10, which includes a storage box 101 installed on the top of the clamping block 7. The storage box 101 is filled with dry powder extinguishing agent. A miniature detonator 102 is installed on the top wall of the storage box 101. Each of the spray nozzles arrayed at the bottom of the storage box 101 is equipped with a sealing membrane 103. When the electromagnet 92 is energized, the control module in the lighting controller body 1 synchronously detonates the miniature detonator 102, thereby causing the dry powder extinguisher in the storage box 101 to break through the sealing membrane 103 on the spray nozzle. The dry powder sprayed out extinguishes any possible sparks, improving the overall safety of the device.

[0035] The main body 1 of the lighting controller is equipped with control buttons 12 corresponding to multiple circuits. The main body 1 of the lighting controller is equipped with a display screen 13. The current sensor 3, temperature sensor 8, abnormal blocking component 9 and fireproof component 10 are all electrically connected to the display screen 13. The brightness of the lighting is controlled by the control buttons 12, and the current, temperature and other conditions of the lighting wires are displayed on the display screen 13 in real time, which is convenient for users to observe in real time.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
