Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a light-

The present invention relates to a light-emitting switch device for improving visibility, and more particularly, to a light-emitting switch device for improving the visibility, in which a switch cover mounted on the switch can easily recognize the position of the switch, The present invention relates to a light-emitting switch device for improving visibility of a main user, such as a senior user or a disabled person, such as a person with poor physical condition, so as to easily light the main light.

Generally, a switch that is installed on a wall or the like so that a power source can be connected to a home or an office in a room is used by connecting a switch cover to protect the inside connection portion and the electric wire while providing an aesthetics of the interior.

The switch cover has a through hole formed at a central portion thereof so that a switch handle can be inserted and protruded. The switch cover is mainly manufactured in a square shape in accordance with the shape and size of the switch box.

The switch was attached to a wall and turned on and off by operating the switch. By the way, if you go out at night and you want to turn on a fire in a building or a warehouse where there is no one in the night, you could not find these switches and often stuttered the walls.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the 'LED light emission switch case using thermal sublimation transfer' of the conventional patent No. 953504 is a switch case, which is used by covering an existing switch, And a protrusion formed on the switch case is fitted to the outer surface of the switch so as to be coupled to the switch case. An LED for indicating the position of the switch is attached to the surface of the switch case in the dark, The switch case further includes an internal power supply unit that operates separately from the power source of the switch. The switch case further includes a sublimation enhancement layer on the material layer constituting the switch case, and the sublimation enhancement layer is transferred to the sublimation enhancement layer and the material layer To form a pattern, and the sublimation reinforcing layer is formed of an acrylic polyol 100 Wherein at least one of silica, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide and aluminum hydroxide is selected from 60 to 80 parts by weight of a polyisocyanate and the light is uniformly diffused in the sublimation enhancement layer so that the sublimation- 5 to 30 parts by weight of a light diffusing device capable of dissolving and dispersing in a solvent is dissolved and applied in 80 to 100 parts by weight of at least one solvent selected from methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), diacetone alcohol (DAA) and Texanol, heated to 130 to 160 degrees C for 10 to 15 seconds Dried.

As a result, it is operated by a separate power source from the switch power supply, so that it can feel the three-dimensional pattern of itself.

However, the conventional switch case is configured such that a plurality of LED lamps are exposed on the front surface, thereby causing a problem that sleeping is interrupted by light emitted from the front surface of the switch case.

This is because the LED used in the conventional switch case emits light using the electroluminescence effect, and therefore, when used as it is, bright light is emitted to the extent that the human eye is insufficiently illuminated, so that light from the LED interferes with sleeping. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the object of losing sight of the position of the switch is lost due to the visibility through the light emitting diode formed in the switch case.

Further, there is a problem in that it is inconveniently inconvenient to use a separate power source, that is, a disposable battery or a solar battery, to check the charging state according to the current consumption amount or to change it as necessary.

In addition, when the switch case including the LED is formed on the wall surface which is tightly closed due to the problem that the LED formed in the switch case has a high heat emission as much as the luminous efficiency, heat dissipation is not properly performed due to the heat generated by the LED, There is a problem that it is easily broken.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

≪ Embodiment 1 >

1 and 2, the light-emitting type switch device of the first embodiment includes a power source unit 1, a main light source 2 illuminated by receiving power from the power source unit 1, And a switching unit 3 which is arranged between the main lighting unit 2 and the main lighting unit 2 and controls the power supply from the power supply unit 1 to the main lighting unit 2, And a switch cover 10 including a cover light 12 so as to recognize the position.

The switching unit 3 is constituted by a selection switch so that power can be selectively applied to the switch or switch cover 10. That is, when the switching unit 3 is connected to the main light 2, the power of the power source unit 1 is applied to the main light 2 to illuminate the switch unit 3, So that it is illuminated by the cover light 12. In this case, the main illumination 2 and the cover illumination 12 are preferably illumination composed of a plurality of LEDs.

The switch cover 10 is mounted on the rim of the switch so that the user can easily visually confirm the position of the switch through the light illuminated by the cover illuminator 12 to smoothly illuminate the main illuminator 2 do.

The switch cover 10 includes at least one cover light 12 illuminated by the power of the power source unit 1 according to the selection of the switching unit 3.

The switch cover 10 includes a microcomputer 14 and a cover illumination control switch unit 16 for controlling power supply to the cover illumination 12 under the control of the microcomputer 14. [

The microcomputer 14 includes a timer 142. The timer 142 counts the illumination time of the cover illumination 12 through a power source applied from the power source unit 1 and automatically turns off the cover illumination 12 when a predetermined time elapses. In some cases, the timer 142 may be omitted.

In addition, the microcomputer 14 includes a human body detection sensor 144. When the user approaches the position where the switch is formed, the human body detection sensor 144 senses the position of the switch and turns on the cover lighting 12 turned off by the timer 142, To be easily recognized.

In addition, the microcomputer 14 includes a sound detection sensor 146. The sound sensing sensor 146 recognizes a specific sound of the user and allows the cover lighting 12 turned off by the timer 142 to be turned on so that the user can easily recognize the position of the switch . For example, the sound detection sensor 146 responds to a specific sound such as a clapping sound of a user.

In addition, the microcomputer 14 includes an illuminance sensor 148. The illuminance sensor 148 senses the illuminance around the switch and controls the surroundings of the switch to be illuminated through the cover illuminator 12 only when the illuminance is lower than a predetermined illuminance. For example, when the illuminance is high as in the daytime, even if the cover illumination 12 illuminates, the visibility effect on the switch can not be exerted. Therefore, only when the illuminance of the cover illumination 12 is lower than a certain value, .

The microcomputer 14 further includes an audio output unit 149 for outputting sound to the outside when the condition that the cover illumination 12 is illuminated is satisfied. The sound output unit 149 outputs sounds to easily display the position of the switch to a user whose distracted surroundings or visual acuity is extremely low.

The operation state of the light-emitting switch device having the above-described improved visibility will be described below.

First, a light-emitting type switching device in which a power source unit 1 is connected to a wall surface or the like and a switch cover 10 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the switch are provided.

Thus, when the main illumination 2 is in the OFF state, the switching unit 3 is connected so that the cover illumination 12 is in the ON state, so that the cover illumination 12 Is turned on, light is illuminated around the switch cover 10, so that the user can easily recognize the position of the switch.

In this case, when the count time of, for example, about 5 to 60 seconds elapses in accordance with the count of the timer 142 configured in the microcomputer 14, the cover lighting control switch unit 16 is controlled by the control signal of the timer 142 .

The cover illumination 12 is automatically turned off after a predetermined time by blocking the power supply of the power source unit 1 from being applied to the cover illumination 12 by the operation of the cover illumination control switch unit 16. [ ) State.

Thus, the main illumination 2 and the cover illumination 12 are in an OFF state, thereby preventing the illumination of the cover illumination 12 from interfering with sleep, thereby inducing a user's good sleep.

Then, when the user's body is positioned around the switch, such as when entering the room from the outside, the human body detection sensor 144 transmits a sensing signal to the microcomputer 14 sensing the user.

Accordingly, by connecting the short-circuiting position to the cover lighting control switch unit 16 in the microcomputer 14, the user can easily recognize the position of the switch by being illuminated in the cover lighting 12. [

This is because it is not possible to easily recognize the position of the switch formed on one side of the wall surface due to physical conditions such as the elderly person or the handicapped, and it may be possible to suffer an injury such as collision during the process of finding the switch. However, So that the position of the switch can be easily recognized regardless of the physical conditions of the user, so that the lighting of the main light 2 can be smoothly performed.

Alternatively, in order to find the position of the switch for illuminating the main light 2, for example, when the user presses the clap, the sound detection sensor 146 recognizes a specific sound of the clap sound and transmits the sensing signal to the microcomputer 14 .

Accordingly, by connecting the short-circuiting position to the cover lighting control switch unit 16 in the microcomputer 14, the user can easily recognize the position of the switch by being illuminated in the cover lighting 12. [

This means that until now, the main light is illuminated directly through the sound detection sensor. In this case, if you make a mistake while sleeping or make a noise while sleeping, the main light can be waken up as it illuminates, There was a problem to interfere. In order to solve such a problem, the present invention can illuminate the cover light 12 through the sensing signal of the sound detection sensor 146 when making a mistake while sleeping, As it does not interfere, it induces the user's sleep.

Therefore, in order for the user to easily recognize the position of the switch so as to light the main light, the cover light is illuminated in the switch cover mounted on the switch, so that a general user, especially a user with poor physical condition such as the elderly or the disabled To easily light the main lighting.

In addition, a microcomputer and a timer function are added to achieve a power saving effect.

In addition, the human body detection sensor enables the switch position of the switch cover to be easily recognized by illuminating the cover light of the switch cover regardless of the physical condition such as the elderly person or the disabled person.

In addition to the function of easily recognizing the switch position through the sound detection sensor, the main light is not directly lit on the sound caused by a mistake or sleeping while sleeping, and is guided not to interfere with the user's sleeping as the switch cover is illuminated.

In addition, when the illuminance sensor 148 maintains the illuminance higher than a predetermined value, the cover illumination 12 is not illuminated, thereby achieving a power saving effect.

The sound output unit 149 outputs the sound signal to the human body detection sensor 144 or the sound detection sensor 146 under the condition that the cover illumination 12 is illuminated, And is output to the microcomputer 14 so that the user can easily recognize the position of the switch by outputting sound during the time during which the cover light 12 is illuminated during the counting time of the timer 142. [

In this case, it is preferable that the heat radiating portion 20 is formed at the lower end with reference to the installation position of the switch cover 10. [ This is to prevent the penetration of foreign substances and to maintain a beautiful appearance.

That is, the intake unit 210 is configured such that the cover 24 is positioned inside the installation space 114 of the rim 110 so that outside air is drawn into the rim 110.

The exhaust unit 220 is configured such that the cover 24 is positioned outside the switch cover 10 so that the air inside the rim 110 can be exhausted to the outside of the switch.

Accordingly, the cover 24 of the intake unit 210 is opened by the air introduced through the through-hole 22, but on the contrary, when the intake unit 210 blocks the air from being discharged to the outside, So that only air is introduced into the installation space 114 of the rim 110.

The cover 24 of the exhaust unit 220 is opened by the air exhausted through the through hole 22, but on the contrary, since the outside air is prevented from being introduced into the inside, So that only the air in the installation space 114 of the unit 110 is discharged to the outside.
