Description

Device for power and communication integrated wiring using power plexer {POWER AND COMMUNICATION INTEGRATION WIRING APPARATUS USING POWER PLEXER}

The present invention relates to a wiring distribution device, and more particularly, to a power and communication integrated wiring device using a power plexer configured to transmit and transmit by integrating communication and power lines into one, and to branch and use them at a user end.

Recently, with the improvement of quality of life, people's interest in lighting is increasing. Modern lighting devices require more than just turning on a light with a switch. That is, modern lighting devices are developing into more advanced forms, such as creating various atmospheres according to indoor uses or automatically adjusting the illuminance appropriately according to the surrounding illuminance.

These evolving lighting devices are generally based on DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) communication. The DALI communication standard can implement a lighting device that can satisfy user requirements by assigning an address to each lighting or assigning it to a group to set multiple combinations of scenes.

DALI communication is driven by a low voltage using a two-stranded bus, and up to 64 DALI interfaces per one DALI bus can be connected to communicate.

DALI communication monitors and controls the status of components connected to the DALI system through the DALI interface. As DALI communication, the status of components that can be monitored and controlled can be faulty, fire caused by sensors, or security issues.

A message used in the DALI system is in the form of a serial data stream and consists of an address part and a command part. The DALI device uses digital data expressing “0” and “1” using two different voltage levels, and communicates using each address in a broadcast form. In general, DALI communication can set 64 addresses and 16 group addresses.

1 is a lighting control system using such a conventional DALI system is disclosed.

The technology of FIG. 1 is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0095153 (Name: DALI communication-based lighting control device and method). Referring to the drawings, the lighting control device is a DALI ballast (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface ballast, 11), a DALI master 12 and a management server 13.

The management server 13 is connected to one or more DALI masters 12 by a wired/wireless communication method, and each DALI master 12 is connected to one or more DALI ballasts 11 by a DALI communication method. The management server 13 can centrally control or manage one or more DALI masters 12 using wired/wireless communication, and each DALI master 12 is connected to one or more DALI ballasts ( 11) can be controlled or managed in an integrated way.

The DALI bus power supply unit 14 supplies power required for DALI communication between the DALI master 12 and the DALI ballast 11 .

The DALI ballast 11 refers to a control device that drives a lighting device based on a control message transmitted from the DALI master 12 through DALI communication.

The control information of the lighting device may be generated by the management server 13 . In order to generate control information, a user interface such as a keyboard input device may be installed in the management server 13 . A set value for generating control information may be input to the management server 13 through a user interface. Also, the set value may be input to the management server 13 through an external client connected to the management server 13 through a wired/wireless network. The external client may include, for example, a portable wireless communication terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, or the like. The set value is transmitted to the DALI master 12 through wired/wireless communication in the form of control information together with the master address and ballast address. Wired/wireless communication between the management server 13 and the DALI master 12 may be short-distance or long-distance communication in the form of RS-232, RS-485, USB, Ethernet, or RF (Radio Frequency).

The control information transmitted from the management server 13 to the DALI master 12 may include schedule data for allowing the DALI master 13 to control the DALI ballast 11 according to a specific time. The DALI master 12 manages the schedule data transmitted from the management server 13 , and transmits a control message for operating the DALI ballast 11 according to the schedule data to the DALI ballast 11 . For example, according to the schedule data transmitted from the management server 13, the DALI master 12 increases the illuminance of the bedroom according to the wake-up time, turns off the power after a predetermined time after sunset, or schedules after the user leaves the room. It is possible to control the DALI ballast 11 to turn off the power when time elapses. The DALI master 12 may require a real time clock (RTC) to manage such schedule data.

In addition, many residential, office and industrial lighting infrastructures are equipped with lighting-related dimming circuits. Light dimming controls are being used to enhance personal comfort, extend the life of the light source, and save energy.

However, since the conventional lighting system consists of separate power and communication cables, it is inconvenient to separate power and communication of the existing DALI system, and there are problems in that labor costs and high costs are incurred due to an increase in the construction period.

That is, referring to the conventional wiring diagram of the luminaire of FIG. 2 , in the related art, a separate switch line for on/off control of each luminaire at the switch control stage is included in a cable or pipeline along with a power source for piping, so the number of switches Since the corresponding cables must be wired on the ceiling, the number of piping wiring increases, which increases the amount of air and increases the construction cost.

That is, referring to FIG. 2 , power lines provided as AC or DC and lines corresponding to the number of switches SW1 , SW2 , SW3 , SW4 should be wired to the ceiling.

The line provided by each switch should be connected to the four branches so that it can branch into channels (ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4) composed of one or more luminaires connected to the same line. In FIG. 2, it is exemplified that 4 branches are used to control 4 channels with 4 switches.

Therefore, there is a problem that the switch line corresponding to each channel must be piped to the branch, and the number of connection points connecting the switch line and the corresponding channel in each branch increases, so the piping wiring becomes complicated, the air is increased, and the costs will arise.

In addition, since the conventional power source uses a star method, a separate DALI communication pipe/wiring is required to control dimming for each individual luminaire.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

3 is an example of using a power plexer for power and communication integrated wiring according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the power plexer.

As shown, the apparatus for integrated power and communication wiring using a power plexer according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits a signal line in common through one cable or pipe, and processes the transmitted signal to be distinguished by ID. It is configured to control the luminaire by installing it in the vicinity of the luminaire to use the power plexer that outputs the power of the luminaire or a control signal for dimming control.

To this end, a signal line composed of power lines (P1, P2) transmitted as AC or DC and DATA lines (D1, D2; hereinafter referred to as communication lines) used as communication lines is a single cable (or pipe) 220 . It is configured to be transmitted to the power flex 200 through

Here, in the present invention, there is no need to wire the lines corresponding to the number of channels as in the prior art, because four lines (power line 2, communication line 2) necessary for power control and communication are transmitted regardless of the number of luminaires. .

In particular, it is explained that two lines are required for the communication line, but this is the number of lines required to construct an I2C bus line that can transmit and receive data by specifying addresses with DALI communication and clock and data lines, which are standards used in luminaires. It goes without saying that there is no limitation on the decrease or increase.

That is, the present invention is characterized by a concept for building a facility with a minimum number of lines using a common power line and data communication line.

Referring to FIG. 2, which is a prior art, it can be seen that since a common line is not used and each channel must be connected to a corresponding switch line, a line corresponding to the minimum number of switches must be built. Although it has been described as an example that two lines D1 and D2 are set for normal data transmission, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured using one or more lines.

The present invention is not characterized in the number of power lines or communication lines, but in that the power line and the communication line are inserted into one pipe and delivered to the power flex connected to each luminaire.

Referring to FIG. 3, a case in which 64 light fixtures CH1 to CH64 can be controlled using 4 lines is shown. In the end, since 4 transmission lines are used and only connection points for 4 lines are required, The number of lines to be wired is also reduced, and the Powell Flex 200 can be configured simply because it is only necessary to process signals for four lines.

Accordingly, the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 transmitted through one cable 220 can be configured to be connected by a connection member so that they can be easily connected to the power flex 200 .

It can be configured and configured to be transmitted in a data-streaming manner.

For reference, in order to control the luminaire of 64CH of FIG. 3, if the ID part is configured with 6 bits, it is possible to control the luminaire of 64 channels.

In addition, the communication lines (D1, D2) described in the present invention will be described on the premise that a signal for power and dimming control of the corresponding luminaire is configured through a switch control unit, a separate management server, a gateway, or the like.

The power plexer 200 is configured to receive the communication lines D1 and D2 and the power lines P1 and p2 through one cable 220 and output a signal for controlling the power and dimming of the corresponding luminaire.

To this end, the power flex 200 is located outside the bus bar 210 and the bus bar 210 for distributing by mechanically connecting the power lines (P1, P2) and the communication lines (D1, D2) through a connector. Includes a control circuit unit 110 that receives the signals of the power lines (P1, P2) and the communication lines (D1, D2) in the plane and outputs the power control signal and the dimming control signal that are circuit-processed to each luminaire configure to do

In addition, the bus bar 210 receives the connection signal of the connector 1 201 and the connector 1 201 of a first shape to which two or more power lines P1 and P2 and two or more communication lines D1 and D2 are connected. Connector 2 (202) of a first shape connected by respective first conductive materials to the connection signal of connector 1 (201) to bypass, and connector 1 by mechanically fastening with each of the first conductive materials One or more connectors 3 (203, 204) connected by a second conductive material each outputting a connection signal of 201 may be included.

Referring to the drawings, the present embodiment shows an example in which the power flex consists of one inlet connector, an output connector that bypasses it to another power flex, and two control connectors for controlling the luminaire.

In this embodiment, it is exemplified that connector No. 201 is used as an inlet connector, connector No. 203 is used as an output connector, and connectors No. 202 and 204 are used as control connectors.

Referring to the wiring diagram of the bus bar according to the embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 6 , the bus bar 210 connects a horizontal bar connecting an incoming signal to another bus bar and a necessary signal through mechanical connection or short circuit with the horizontal bar. It consists of a vertical bar that is configured to be extracted.

Of course, these horizontal bars 212 and vertical bars 211 must be made of a conductive material such as copper. Preferably, the horizontal bars and vertical bars are vertically spaced apart from each other, and the connection part is formed using another connection member. In this way, either one of the horizontal bar and the vertical bar or at the same time the connecting part is protruded in a direction to be mutually connected or to be connected, and the signal can be extracted by mutually fastening with a fastening member such as a screw.

Referring to the drawings, six vertical bars 211 in the form of bar bars for extracting signals - First to sixth vertical bars for convenience - are installed spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and at both ends of each vertical bar, approximately "c" A ruler-shaped connecting member 211a may be coupled.

The connecting member 211a is configured with a bent piece at both ends—for example, a “C” shape—so that it can be interconnected to a terminal for transmitting or receiving a signal to the control circuit unit 110 to be described later, so that the bent piece at one end is It is electrically connected to the vertical bar directly or by means of a screw 211d, and the bent piece of the other end is configured to be electrically connected to the control circuit part directly or by a fastening member. (211a) constitutes a bent piece at both ends in an approximately 'C' shape, and each bent piece has screw holes 211b and 211c for firmly fastening it with a fastening member such as a horizontal bar and a vertical bar or a control circuit unit and a screw. ) and to be fastened with a fastening member (211d).

In the present invention, it is assumed that the first vertical bar and the second vertical bar are used as power inlet terminals P1 and P2, respectively, and the remaining four third to sixth vertical bars are a power on/off control signal and a signal for dimming control. It is explained as using as an output terminal for transmission to each luminaire.

The horizontal bar 212 is configured to connect the incoming signal to another bus bar and at the same time be mechanically connected to the vertical bar to transmit the corresponding signal to the vertical bar or the control circuit unit 110 .

Referring to FIG. 6 , four horizontal bars 212 are in the form of bars for supplying signals to the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 - first to fourth horizontal bars for convenience- constant installed at a distance.

The third and fourth horizontal bars used as the power lines (P1, P2) are configured to be in direct contact with the vertical bars, and both ends or one end of the first and second horizontal bars used as the communication lines (D1, D2) are approximately “ A C-shaped connecting member 211a may be connected.

Similarly to the connecting member of the vertical bar, the connecting member connected to the horizontal bar is also used to transmit a signal to the control circuit unit.

In the present invention, the power line is configured to directly converge the horizontal bar and the vertical bar, and the communication line is configured to be connected by a separate connection member and described as an embodiment thereof. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be configured in various forms. reveal the

In the present invention, the structure of the busbar consists of a power line and a communication line supplied from the inlet end with a horizontal bar located on the upper part of the busbar, and a necessary signal is obtained from the vertical bar located below the busbar by using a direct contact with the horizontal bar or a connection member. characterized by processing.

In addition, the names of these horizontal bars and vertical bars are also referred to as horizontal bars and vertical bars based on FIG. 6 , but the content that the vertical bar is necessarily formed under the horizontal bar and that the signal is supplied through the horizontal bar is expressed as needed. Of course, this may vary.

More specifically, the first and second horizontal bars connected to the communication lines D1 and D2 introduced into the busbar are connected to one side of the output end of the first and second horizontal bars, and the connecting member 211a is coupled to one end of the first and second horizontal bars for transmission to the control circuit unit 110 . The third and fourth horizontal bars that constitute the D1 contact portion 215b and the D2 contact portion 215a and are connected to the power lines P1 and P2 are directly screwed to the vertical bar.

The first and second vertical bars directly screwed to the third and fourth horizontal bars constitute a P1 contact portion 213b and a P2 contact portion 213a at both ends thereof to supply power to the control circuit unit.

Both ends of each horizontal bar and vertical bar constitute a connector contact portion 211e so that a signal is transmitted through the connector to which they are connected. The first and second vertical bars may not constitute the above-described connector contact portion.

That is, the vertical bar that needs to supply or receive a signal to the control circuit unit needs to configure a connector contact part at one end to enable signal transmission/reception, so that the relevant signal can be transmitted to the corresponding luminaire by connector connection.

In addition, at both ends of the third to sixth vertical bars, a connection member 211a for connecting a signal output from the control circuit unit 110 is configured, respectively, to output a power control signal for controlling the on/off of the power of the luminaire A P1 output contact 214a and a P2 output contact 214b for this, and a D1 output contact 214c and a D2 output contact 214d for receiving a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the luminaire are formed.

The busbar 210 mechanically connects necessary signals among incoming signals and transmits them to the control circuit unit 110 , the control circuit unit 110 processes these signals and transmits the power on/off control signal and the dimming control signal to the bus bar. It is output again and configured to be transmitted to each luminaire by a connector.

In the present invention, since the bus bar is mounted in the case and configured to mechanically connect the signal line including the connector, the signal processed by the control circuit unit is output again to the bus bar and connected through the connector, but the control circuit unit It is also possible to configure a terminal unit for connecting a connector to the , and, if necessary, to configure a connector connected to an external signal in each bus bar or control circuit unit. It can be composed of circuit parts to receive a signal through contact and output a signal necessary for controlling the luminaire.

Preferably, the control circuit unit 110 is composed of a PCB (PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD), receives a necessary signal by each connection member 211a of the bus bar 210, and electrically connects the circuit components to process the signal. , configure to output again to the busbar.

That is, the control circuit unit 110 reads the ID and electricity on/off and dimming control data from the power line and the communication line input from the inlet unit 120 from the control unit 111, and powers on/off the luminaire designated by the ID. It is configured to output the control signal and the dimming control signal through the output unit 130 .

To this end, the control circuit unit 110 controls on/off the power line introduced from the P1 inlet 121 and P2 inlet 122, which are the power inlets of the inlet 120, to turn on/off the power on/off control signal of the corresponding luminaire. Of the output unit 130, the power switching unit 112 outputting through the P1 output unit 131 and the P2 output unit 132, and the dimming communication unit 113 for outputting a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the lamp and , reads the on/off and dimming control data of the ID and electricity from the communication line of the D1 inlet 123 and the D2 inlet 124 of the inlet 211, and the power switching unit corresponding to the luminaire designated by the ID ( 112) is configured to include on-off control, and a control unit 111 for outputting a signal for controlling the dimming communication unit 113 corresponding to the luminaire designated by the ID.

Although the present invention has been described as outputting a power control signal and a dimming control signal for controlling one luminaire, adding a second power switching unit 114 and a second dimming communication unit 115 connected to the control unit 111 also One luminaire can be controlled.

By adding the power switching unit and the dimming communication unit in this way, it is possible to control as many luminaires as necessary.

On the other hand, referring to the wiring diagram of the bus bar according to another configuration of FIG. 7 , the third to sixth vertical bars contacting the control circuit part and outputting signals among the vertical bars are configured to be interconnected by the bar bars as in FIG. 6 . However, in order to construct a simple structure, it may be configured to be separated from each other without being connected to a bar.

That is, the third to sixth vertical bars may be configured as a bar corresponding to a size sufficient to form a connecting member and a connector contact portion, and may be assembled and used independently of each other.

The bus bar and the control circuit unit are assembled while being coupled to each other by a connecting member.

Referring to the detailed configuration diagram of the state in which the control circuit unit is coupled to the bus bar of FIG. 8 , a “c” shape electrically connected to the horizontal bar and vertical bar of the bus bar 210 in a plane positioned outside the bus bar 210 , respectively. The control circuit part 110 is mounted on the upper part of the connection member 211a in the form of a connection member 211a and fastened to be electrically connected using a fastening member 116 such as a screw 116 .

To this end, the connecting member 211a constitutes a fastening hole 211b at one end, and a portion in contact with the connecting member 211a in each of the inlet portions 120 and the output portion 130 of the control circuit unit 110 is electric. A copper foil 120a through which a can pass is formed, a through hole 120b is formed in the center thereof, and one end of each connection member 211a of the bus bar 210 and the copper foil of the control circuit unit 110 corresponding thereto ( 120 a) is positioned, and then it is fastened with a fastening member 116 to be electrically connected.

As a result, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the power of the luminaire is turned on and off, and for dimming control, four common lines are received and signal processed, and then four signals are output for each luminaire to control the power of the luminaire or dimming. that you can control.

Meanwhile, the power output from the control circuit unit 110 and the signal for controlling the dimming may use a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) for supplying power to a luminaire in general.

Referring to the diagram illustrating the connection configuration diagram of the SMPS and the power plexer of FIG. 11 , when the power on-off signal and the dimming control signal provided from the power flex 200 are output to the SMPS 310 , the SMPS 310 is Outputs a power on/off signal and a dimming control signal for controlling each luminaire 300 .

However, this SMPS 310 may be configured integrally with a normal light fixture, but may be configured on the inner periphery of the power flex 200 or may be used as a separate power supply.

When configuring the SMPS externally, the common point, that is, the common power line is not supplied to the control circuit part of the Powerflex, but is directly connected from the busbar to the lighting fixture, thereby simplifying the configuration of the Powerflex.

However, in another embodiment, the power supply line and the communication line are input in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and only the on/off of the power can be simply controlled.

That is, in a plurality of lighting fixtures, a communication line for transmitting a signal including an ID for specifying any one lighting fixture and electrical on/off data, a power supply line supplied to the lighting fixture, and the communication line and the power supply line are combined into one Of course, if the power plexer is transmitted through a cable or pipe and outputs a signal for controlling the power of the luminaire, the power can be controlled by simple construction.

Even at this time, if all the configurations of the POWERFlex are the same and only the power on/off control line is mechanically connected from the connector to which it is connected, there is an advantage that power control or power control and dimming control can be performed at the same time. Although the invention has been described in detail with respect to the described embodiments, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention, and it is natural that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
