Infrared Ray Detector Control Illumination System

The present invention is related to a infrared ray detector control illumination system which is applicable for staircase of appartment or entrance and passageway of housing to achieve the benefits of convenience and to save power by controlling power ON/OFF automatically. Further, the invention can link up bell or alarm, and achieve multiple functions of alarm and visiting notice.

Most of the conventional illumination system are installed at certain place to control, such as the guide room of building or nearby entrance of housing; the progressive type distribute optical sensors at some necessary places, the lights will be turned on automatically when illumination is not enough, then turned off by hand, or controlled by the said optical sensor or another set of sensor to detect if illumination is enough; if the system is designed to turn off manually, the user always forget or delay to turn off the light thus result waste energy.

If the system is controlled to turn off by optical sensor, as the illumination is turned on to irradiate on the optical resistor, the resistance value of the optical resistor become small and form grounding short circuit, therefore, the power will be cut off, but when the light source disappear, the resistance value of the optical resistor become large and turn on the light; consequently, the illumination system will cause glisten, it is very harmful for vision of user also the illumination system will be damaged frequently.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a glisten prevented circuit and the light will not be effected by optical resistor to avoid glisten when the illumination system is started. So when it is installed, there is no need to reduce the indensity of the illumination because of the effect of optical resistance (CDS), or the optical sensor can not be positioned at the best reconnaissance range because it is confined to the position and angle.

The second object of the present invention is to provide the illumination system which the infrared ray detector match with optical resistance (CDS), it can detect to turn on and turn off automatically, further, achieve the effect of save energy during enough illumination.

The third object of the invention is to provide the delay circuit, after people left out of the reconnaissance range and optical sensor receive the signal no more, it will delay to irradiate and turn off till time up.

The fourth object of the invention is related to use in single set or link multiple sets up and to control in one lamp or several lamps, when it link several sets up, it can link to control the shared one illumination between two sets, it enable the user to be the center of lamp, the user always be irradiated whether upstair or downstair, it also prevents user from danger and inconvenience because there is no illumination on upper floor when the user returns back.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprising:

Thermolelectric infrared optical sensor as medium of signal detector, a convergence len is positioned upon it, which is provide to converge infrared ray radiation from human body, and as energy transition, output constant voltage drop signal to intergrated circuit.

A intergrated circuit is used as control circuit of illumination system, it starts with the positive of IC1a, which is drived by optical sensor, amplify signal and C1 filter; IC1a and R2, R3, R4 and C2, C3, C4 form non-reverse a; ternative amplifier to delete unnecessary frequency and amplify necessary frequency, the amplified signal pass to negative pole of IC1b through C5 and C6, refilter the second non-reverse alternative amplifier to delete unnecessary frequency, only amplify reception frequency, R7 of semifixed resistance can adjust to control amplify range of IC1b; then the said output signal of IC1b compare with the amplitude restricted comparator formed by IC1c and IC1d and R9, R10, R11, R12, to decide whether the transistor TRl start ON/circuit to ground or not, in other words, if voltage level of input signal is lower than standard voltage at negative of IC1c, IC1c output forms LOW, on the contrary, output forms HIGH, the situation of IC1d turns out contrary to IC1c; therefore, the input level is over any level of IC1c negative end or IC1 d positive end, the positive flows to original pole of TRl through resistance R13, R14, R15, enable TR1 to start ON/circuit to ground, then light-emitting diode LEDl is luminous. When TRl is ON/circuit to ground, the intergrated circuit change resistance R19 to LOW level from HIGH level, and "IN" end of IC-2 also change into LOW level, if the deleted terminal "C1" of IC-2 is positioned at HIGH level, "T2" and of IC-2 will position at LOW level, thereupon, C10 emit current from "T2" end, meanwhile output terminal "OUT" of IC-2 output with HIGH level to the orifinal pole of transistor TR2 and negative of IC4b through the resistance R23 and R24 enable transistor TR3 ON/circuit, then the positive current flow toward the diode D2 and both end of relay coil, and the relay absorb enable the connected point ON/circuit, therewith AC power flow through the connected point of the relay, enable lamp or proper illumination system is luminous to develop the effect of illumination.

Under sufficient lighting, the said control circuit can cancel the drive circuit of illumination system automatically, enable the signal of optical sensor can not drive to start the illumination system; the principle is:

While the lighting is sufficient, the optical resistor (CDS)is irradiated enable it's resistance value change small, and voltage drop also change small, therefore, the negative voltage of IC4a is larger than the standard voltage of positive, and the output end of IC4a is ON/circuit to ground, enable one end of resistance R13 or R14 is shorted to ground, then the output of IC1c and IC1d are terminated, and transistor TR1 can not start without positive voltage, so while the lighting is sufficient, the illumination system will not start to waste power even human body intrude into the range of the installation.

In order to counter the defect of conventional detect circuit that the optical resistor is irradiated and resistance value is reduced, it will ground to short-circuit and turn off the illumination system, then turn on at once to form flasher, so the present invention provide a flasher prevent circuit to achieve the purpose without flasher, the principle is:

While human body intrudes to react the system be irradiated, the "OUT" terminal of IC-2 output with HIGH level to negative of IC4b through R23, and output end of IC4b connect to ground, thus one end of resistance R28 is grounded, at the same time, the viariation of optical resistor (CDS) do not enable the output of IC4a connect to ground, thus the characteristic of the illumination installation will not turn off and flasher improperly.

As human body is outside the range of detector, the present invention can drive to turn off illumination by delay circuit. When optical sensor has not signal input, both IC1a and IC1b also are without signal, and the comparision output is at LOW, transistor TR1 open circuit without bias, thus positive voltage flow toward input end "IN" through R16 and R19, enable "IN" end from low level become high level, meanwhile, if deduction terminal of IC-2 is also at HIGH level "T2" terminal of IC-2 will from emitting current situation become voltage ratio situation, owing to C10 is emitted current, so voltage of both end are lower than standard voltage in IC-2, and output end "OUT" of IC-2 is at HIGH level, enable transistor TR2 and TR3 to connect, positive still flow toward the relay and enable illumination installation still form ON status. Because the resistance R17 and R18 will be changed to the capacitor C10, and Voltage at both end of C10 will be higher and higher, when voltage at both end of C10 is higher than the standard voltage in IC-2, the output end "OUT" of IC-2 will become LOW level from HIGH level enable the transistor TR2 and TR3 to OFF/ circuit, relay stops, and illumination installation in OFF status. As mentioned above, the delay circuit is controlled by signal of body sensor, it keep on delay when human body is out of the range of detector, and will be off circuit after the time setting is over.

As stated above, we understand that it is possible to change the time of delay just to change the resistance value of semi-variation resistance R17. The present invention is provided with delay circuit, while human body is in the range of detector even the time is very short, the illumination installation keep on irradiating for a certain time because of the delay circuit.

While the invention is applied, it can prevent sensor and circuit from mistake detection through delay start action circuit when it is ON/circuit. The delay start action circuit is composed by deleted terminal "C1" of IC-2 and R22 and C11. When IC-2 terminal "C1" is at HIGH level, delete not to react and deleted action of IC-2 will react when it is at LOW level; the IC-2 output end "out" forces to stop output and become at LOW level, T2 terminal is changed to C10 with high speed and IC-2 forms deduction of with-out output. So while power respurce have not connected yet, the C11 remaining voltage will emit current through diode D1. When it turns on, positive voltage flow through stable voltage IC3 and resistance R22 and charge to C11, at begining of charge, the voltage at both end of C11 are low, IC-2 delete terminal "C1" is at LOW level, and deduction react. C11 will overflow after a certain time, the delete terminal "C1" of IC-2 just changes into HIGH level from LOW, the deduction stops, thus the delay start action is finished.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied in staircase, it can link up several sets to use, the way to control is to make each illumination installation ON/OFF in position order from human body signal, one or several illumination installations that shared by two neighbor sets can ON/OFF overlapping by connected to link up control.

As shown in FIG. 2 the control flow chart which detects whether light is sufficient and have not to drive the circuit or not by the optical resistance, and use sensor to detect human body's signal to start circuit and prevent glisten circuit, simultaneously, count the time to delay, how long to delay it lasts can be decides by semivariation resistance R17. If human body signal still input, the circuit and prevent glisten circuit keep on driving and the time to delay counts again. If human body signal has no input, it turns illumination installation off after the time to delay mediates and back to the initial form. The optical resistor just detects whether light is sufficient or not, it will not develop the effect in the effective process of sensor and prevent to glisten.

As brief of above mention, the present invention is formed by a automatic drive illumination installation system is detected by infrared ray, the optical resistor distinguish the intensity of light and match design of each kind circuit, further, it can be applied in one set or link up several sets in series as required, it is equipped as an illumination installation which provides performance of safe, convenient and save power .
