Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart switches, and more specifically, to a smart switch with light-sensing reminder. Background Technology
[0002] A smart switch is a unit that uses a combination of control boards and electronic components and programming to achieve intelligent switching control of circuits. Currently, many switch manufacturers on the market only reserve a very small light on the front of the switch, and the light emitted by this light is very weak. On a dark night, people standing at a distance cannot find the exact location of the switch at all, resulting in a very poor product experience.
[0003] Existing switches are difficult to locate accurately in dark nights or cluttered spaces, making it impossible for someone standing at a distance to quickly turn on the desired appliances. Therefore, a smart switch with light-sensing alerts is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that in the dark or in a cluttered space, a person standing at a distance cannot find the exact location of the switch and cannot quickly turn on the electrical appliances they want to use.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The present invention is as follows: a smart switch for light-sensing reminders, comprising a switch body, a switch button on one side of the switch body, a junction box on the other side of the switch body, and a sensing component for sensing human body reminders on the switch body.
[0007] The sensing component includes a sensing chamber disposed on the top of the switch body and the junction box. A controller is installed inside the sensing chamber. A human body sensor is installed inside the sensing chamber. The sensing head of the human body sensor penetrates the interior of the sensing chamber and extends to the exterior of the switch body. An LED light strip is installed on the side of the switch body near the junction box. A battery is installed inside the sensing chamber. The human body sensor and the LED light strip are both electrically connected to the controller. The human body sensor, the LED light strip, and the controller are all electrically connected to the battery.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the controller is an ESP32 and the battery is a lithium battery.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a timing trigger is installed inside the sensing chamber, and two LED light strips are installed in parallel on the side of the switch body near the switch button. The LED light strips and the timing trigger are electrically connected to the controller and the battery.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two buzzers are installed on the side of the switch body near the switch button, and the buzzers are electrically connected to the controller and the battery.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a light-blocking plate is fixedly installed on the side of the switch body near the LED light strip, and the light-blocking plate is made of plastic.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a reflective strip is attached to the switch button.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a protective cover is installed on the side of the switch body near the switch button, the protective cover covers the human body sensor, and the material of the protective cover is transparent acrylic.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. By setting up a sensing component, the junction box is installed inside the wall during use, while the switch body protrudes from the wall. A human body sensor detects whether someone is approaching. When someone approaches, the human body sensor is triggered, and then the controller turns on the LED light strip on the side of the switch body closest to the wall, causing the LED light strip to light up. The light is reflected off the wall and diffused in all directions to form a soft light, which can indicate the location of the switch body to people who are approaching. The hidden design of the light strip has a more high-end feel and can also prevent the light strip from shining directly into the eyes.
[0016] 2. By setting a timer trigger, LED light strip and buzzer, when in use, the timer trigger is used to set the time. After the human body sensor is triggered, if the switch button has not been operated for a certain period of time, the controller will trigger the LED light strip and buzzer to provide visual and auditory prompts.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate some embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a smart switch with light-sensing reminder, including a switch body 1, a switch button 2 on one side of the switch body 1, a junction box 3 on the other side of the switch body 1, and a sensing component 4 for sensing human body reminder on the switch body 1.
[0028] like Figure 4As shown, the sensing component 4 includes a sensing chamber 201 disposed on the top of the switch body 1 and the junction box 3. A controller 202 is installed inside the sensing chamber 201. A human body sensor 203 is also installed inside the sensing chamber 201. The sensing head of the human body sensor 203 penetrates the interior of the sensing chamber 201 and extends to the exterior of the switch body 1 for sensing human presence. An LED light strip 204 is installed on the side of the switch body 1 near the junction box 3 to enhance light efficiency. A battery 205 is installed inside the sensing chamber 201 to improve the power supply stability of the switch body 1. Both the human body sensor 203 and the LED light strip 204 are electrically connected to the controller 202. Both the LED strip 204 and the controller 202 are electrically connected to the battery 205. In use, the junction box 3 is installed inside the wall, and the switch body 1 protrudes from the wall. The human body sensor 203 detects whether someone is approaching. When someone approaches, the human body sensor 203 is triggered, and then the controller 202 turns on the LED strip 204 on the side of the switch body 1 closest to the wall, making the LED strip 204 light up. The light is reflected off the wall and diffused in all directions to form a soft light, which can indicate the location of the switch body 1 to people who are approaching. The hidden design of the light strip makes it look more high-end and avoids the light strip shining directly into the eyes. The battery 205 can improve the stability of the operation of the switch body 1.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the controller 202 is an ESP32, and the battery 205 is a lithium battery. The ESP32 supports deep sleep and consumes as little as 10μA. The combination of ESP32 deep sleep and lithium battery power can achieve ultra-long standby time and improve practicality.
[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a timer trigger 5 is installed inside the sensor compartment 201. Two LED light strips 6 are installed in parallel on the side of the switch body 1 near the switch button 2. Both the LED light strips 6 and the timer trigger 5 are electrically connected to the controller 202 and the battery 205. The timer trigger 5 is used for timing. When the human body sensor 203 is triggered, if the switch button 2 has not been operated after a certain period of time, the controller 202 will trigger the LED light strips 6 to provide a visual prompt.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, two buzzers 7 are installed on the side of the switch body 1 near the switch button 2. The buzzers 7 are electrically connected to the controller 202 and the battery 205. The timing is set by the timer trigger 5. When the human body sensor 203 is triggered, if the switch button 2 has not been operated for a certain period of time, the buzzer 7 will be triggered by the controller 202 to provide an auditory prompt.
[0032] like Figure 5As shown, a light-blocking plate 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the switch body 1 near the LED light strip 204. The light-blocking plate 8 is made of plastic. When in use, the light-blocking plate 8 can block the light emitted outward from the LED light strip 204, so that the light shines on the wall.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a reflective strip 9 is attached to the switch button 2, which can indicate the position of the switch button 2.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, a protective cover 10 is installed on the side of the switch body 1 near the switch button 2. The protective cover 10 covers the human body sensor 203. The protective cover 10 is made of transparent acrylic. The protective cover 10 can protect the human body sensor 203, and the transparent acrylic will not block the infrared scanning of the human body sensor 203.
[0035] Specifically, when using this smart light-sensing switch: the junction box 3 is installed inside the wall, with the switch body 1 protruding from the wall. The human body sensor 203 detects if someone is approaching. When someone approaches, the sensor 203 is triggered, and the controller 202 activates the LED strip 204 on the side of the switch body 1 closest to the wall. The LED strip 204 illuminates and diffuses soft light through reflection from the wall, indicating the location of the switch body 1 to anyone approaching. The concealed design of the light strip enhances its premium feel and prevents direct eye exposure. (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown), timing is achieved through the timer trigger 5. If the switch button 2 has not been operated after a certain period following the triggering of the human body sensor 203, the controller 202 will trigger the LED strip 6 and buzzer 7 to provide visual and auditory cues (such as...). Figure 4 and Figure 5 (As shown).
[0036] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0037] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
