技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种在具备传送单元的远程监视控制系统中作为终端监视器使用的开关装置，该传送单元具有将终端监视器的开关和终端控制器所控制的负载，根据各自的地址进行对应的控制表，并将来自终端监视器的传送信号传送到用该控制表进行对应的终端控制器，由此可以进行负载的远程控制。The present invention relates to a switch device used as a terminal monitor in a remote monitoring and control system equipped with a transmission unit that has a switch of the terminal monitor and a load controlled by the terminal controller, which correspond to each other according to their addresses. The control table, and transmits the transmission signal from the terminal monitor to the terminal controller corresponding to the control table, so that the remote control of the load can be carried out.

背景技术Background technique

目前，为了进行负载的远程控制，公知的技术是通过信号线来传送包含开关的开启/关闭信息的传送信息，利用传送信号使开启/关闭负载的电源的继电器开闭。At present, in order to remotely control a load, it is known to transmit transmission information including on/off information of a switch through a signal line, and use the transmission signal to open and close a relay that turns on/off the power supply of the load.

作为这种远程控制系统，具备将具有开关的终端监视器和具有开启/关闭负载的电源的继电器的终端控制器作为终端装置，并具备传送单元作为中心装置的集中控制型系统。也可以分别每隔多台设置终端监视器和终端控制器。传送单元、终端监视器和终端控制器与双线式信号线连接，传送单元利用在终端监视器和终端控制器中单独设定的终端地址对终端监视器和终端控制器单独地进行识别。As such a remote control system, there is a centralized control type system including a terminal monitor having a switch, a terminal controller having a relay for turning on/off a load power supply as a terminal device, and a transmission unit as a center device. It is also possible to set terminal monitors and terminal controllers at intervals. The transmission unit, the terminal monitor and the terminal controller are connected to the two-wire signal line, and the transmission unit identifies the terminal monitor and the terminal controller individually by using the terminal addresses individually set in the terminal monitor and the terminal controller.

传送单元具备存储器，该存储器存储有根据终端地址将终端监视器与终端控制器进行对应的数据表即控制表(制御テ一ブル)，当任一终端监视器中的开关的开启/关闭信息利用传送信号(利用分时多路传送信号)通知给传送单元时，通过控制表并利用传送信号向与该终端监视器所对应的终端控制器传送开闭继电器的指示，在接到该指示的终端控制器中，继电器被开、闭。由于开闭继电器的指示反应了开关的开启/关闭信息，因此，虽然传送单元介于终端监视器与终端控制器之间，但是含有开关开启/关闭信息的传送信号通过信号线传送，由此，开关的开启/关闭信息反映在继电器的开、闭中。The transmission unit has a memory that stores a data table (control table) that associates terminal monitors with terminal controllers based on terminal addresses. When the on/off information of a switch in any terminal monitor is used When the transmission signal (using time-division multiplex transmission signal) is notified to the transmission unit, the instruction of opening and closing the relay is transmitted to the terminal controller corresponding to the terminal monitor through the control table and using the transmission signal, and the terminal receiving the instruction In the controller, the relay is opened and closed. Since the indication of the open/close relay reflects the on/off information of the switch, although the transmission unit is interposed between the terminal monitor and the terminal controller, the transmission signal containing the switch on/off information is transmitted through the signal line, thus, The ON/OFF information of the switch is reflected in the ON/OFF of the relay.

但是，通常，各终端监视器各自都具有多个电路的开关，并且在各控制终端中分别连接有多个电路的负载。在设置于传送单元的控制表中，可以按开关及负载电路分别对应。即，当终端监视器具有多个开关时，仅由终端监视器固有的终端地址，相当于所有设置于该终端监视器的开关，从而实际中不能特定被操作的唯一开关。因此在各终端监视器中，分别给每一个开关分配操作序号，将在终端监视器的终端地址后附加了操作序号的地址作为开关的地址，由此使得能够特定实际操作的唯一开关。同样地，在终端控制器中对每个负载分配负载序号，将在终端控制器的终端地址后附加了负载序号的地址作为负载地址。另外，也可以由连接在一台终端控制器上的多个负载构成一个负载电路，在这种情况下，各终端控制器的终端地址作为负载的地址使用。However, generally, each terminal monitor has a switch of a plurality of circuits, and a load of a plurality of circuits is connected to each control terminal. In the control table provided in the transmission unit, it is possible to correspond to each switch and load circuit. That is, when the terminal monitor has a plurality of switches, only the terminal address unique to the terminal monitor corresponds to all the switches provided in the terminal monitor, so that a unique switch to be operated cannot be specified in practice. Therefore, in each terminal monitor, an operation number is assigned to each switch, and an address appended to the terminal address of the terminal monitor with the operation number is used as the address of the switch, thereby making it possible to identify a unique switch that is actually operated. Similarly, a load serial number is assigned to each load in the terminal controller, and an address to which the load serial number is added after the terminal address of the terminal controller is used as a load address. In addition, one load circuit may be constituted by a plurality of loads connected to one terminal controller. In this case, the terminal address of each terminal controller is used as the address of the load.

另外，在控制表中，除了将开关与负载一对一地结合以外，也可以一对多地结合。例如，只要利用继电器对作为负载的照明器具的电源进行通、断，在传送单元中就可以设定用一个开关进行一个电路的照明器具的点灯和灭灯的个别控制，和用一个开关整体进行多个电路的照明器具的点灯和灭灯的整体控制。作为整体控制，有组控制和图案控制，组控制是将成为控制对象的负载的范围与开关相对应，用一个开关的操作使该范围的负载整体地进行开或关，图案控制是使成为控制对象的负载的地址范围和与各地址对应的负载的控制状态(开启或关闭)与开关相对应，利用一个开关的操作使该范围的负载分别开启或关闭。In addition, in the control table, in addition to one-to-one connection between switches and loads, one-to-many connection is also possible. For example, as long as the relay is used to turn on and off the power supply of the lighting fixture as the load, it can be set in the transmission unit to use one switch to perform individual control of lighting and extinguishing of the lighting fixture of one circuit, and to use one switch to perform overall control. Overall control of lighting and extinguishing of lighting fixtures with multiple circuits. As an overall control, there are group control and pattern control. Group control corresponds to the range of the load to be controlled with a switch, and the load in this range is turned on or off as a whole with the operation of a switch. Pattern control is to control The address range of the target load and the control state (on or off) of the load corresponding to each address correspond to the switches, and the loads in the range are turned on or off by the operation of one switch.

在所述远程监视控制系统中，传送单元定期向信号线发送传送信号。作为传送信号，例如使用±24V的双极性脉冲幅度调制信号。在终端监视器和终端控制器中，通过对该信号进行全波整流来确保内部电源。而且，利用商业用电源向传送单元供给电源。In the remote monitoring control system, the transmission unit periodically transmits a transmission signal to the signal line. As the transmission signal, for example, a bipolar pulse amplitude modulation signal of ±24V is used. In terminal monitors and terminal controllers, internal power is secured by full-wave rectification of this signal. Furthermore, a commercial power supply is used to supply power to the transmission unit.

下面，对所述远程监视控制系统的工作进行简单说明。Next, the operation of the remote monitoring and control system will be briefly described.

在传送单元中，时常进行将循环地改变了终端地址的传送信号周期性地发送给信号线的时常检测(polling)。传送信号中使用双极性信号，该双极性信号包含：表示信号发送开始的开始脉冲、表示信号模式的模式数据、传送用于分别找出终端监视器与终端控制器的终端地址的地址数据、传送用于控制负载的控制数据(包括操作序号以及负载序号)、用于检测传送错误的校验和数据、接收来自终端监视器及终端控制器的返回信号的时间间隙即信号返回期间。In the transmission unit, polling is always performed to periodically transmit a transmission signal whose terminal address is changed cyclically to the signal line. A bipolar signal is used in the transmission signal, and the bipolar signal includes: a start pulse indicating the start of signal transmission, mode data indicating the signal mode, and address data for transmitting the terminal addresses of the terminal monitor and the terminal controller respectively , Transmission of control data (including operation sequence number and load sequence number) for controlling the load, checksum data for detecting transmission errors, time gap for receiving return signals from terminal monitors and terminal controllers is the signal return period.

在任一终端监视器中，当产生由开关的操作形成的监视输入时，终端监视器就将与传送信号的开始脉冲同步的中断信号传送给信号线。产生了中断信号的终端监视器变为设定了中断标志的锁定状态。另一方面，如果传送单元检出中断信号，则发送将模式数据作为检索模式的传送信号。处于锁定状态的终端监视器接收到检索模式的传送信号时，在信号返回期间将终端地址返回，收到终端地址的传送单元向该终端地址的终端监视器传送要求返回锁定状态的传送信号，通过确认是否为锁定状态来确认是否为产生了中断信号的终端监视器。当被确认是产生了中断信号的终端监视器时，则发送解除锁定状态的传送信号，解除终端监视器的锁定状态。In any of the terminal monitors, when a monitor input by the operation of the switch is generated, the terminal monitor transmits an interrupt signal to the signal line in synchronization with the start pulse of the transmission signal. The terminal monitor that has generated an interrupt signal becomes locked with the interrupt flag set. On the other hand, if the transmission unit detects an interrupt signal, it transmits a transmission signal with pattern data as a search pattern. When the terminal monitor in the locked state receives the transmission signal of the retrieval mode, the terminal address is returned during the signal return period, and the transmission unit that receives the terminal address transmits a transmission signal requesting to return to the locked state to the terminal monitor of the terminal address, through Check whether it is locked to confirm whether it is a terminal monitor that generated an interrupt signal. When it is confirmed that it is the terminal monitor that has generated the interrupt signal, a transmission signal for unlocking the state is sent, and the lock state of the terminal monitor is released.

传送单元通过所述工作接收到来自终端监视器的要求时，按照控制表对与该终端监视器对应的终端控制器要求负载的控制。接着发出用于确认设置在控制对象即终端控制器的继电器的工作状态的传送信号，使继电器的工作状态从终端控制器返回。从终端控制器接收到的继电器的工作状态被传送单元确认后，如果继电器现在的工作状态是关闭，就向有开关操作的终端监视器发送含有使工作状态反转为开启的传送信号，并且也向终端控制器发送同样内容的传送信号。另外，之所以也向终端监视器传送控制终端控制器的内容的传送信号，是为了反映设置于终端监视器上的开启/关闭指示用的指示灯等的指示状态。接收到指示工作状态的传送信号的终端控制器返回接收确认信息。When the transmission unit receives a request from the terminal monitor through the above operation, it controls the request load of the terminal controller corresponding to the terminal monitor according to the control table. Next, a transmission signal for confirming the operating state of the relay installed in the terminal controller as the control object is issued, and the operating state of the relay is returned from the terminal controller. After the working state of the relay received from the terminal controller is confirmed by the transmission unit, if the current working state of the relay is closed, it will send a transmission signal containing the working state reversed to open to the terminal monitor with switch operation, and also Send a transmission signal of the same content to the terminal controller. In addition, the reason why the transmission signal for controlling the content of the terminal controller is also transmitted to the terminal monitor is to reflect the indication status of the on/off indication indicator light and the like provided on the terminal monitor. The terminal controller that has received the transmission signal indicating the working state returns a receipt confirmation message.

在以上说明的远程控制系统中，终端监视器的一个开关被操作时，在传送单元中，该开关的地址(终端地址+操作信号)被控制表对照后，从传送单元向连接在设定了与开关的对应关系的负载的终端控制器传送指示负载控制的传送信号。依据这样的工作，能够使开关的开启/关闭信息反映负载的控制。In the remote control system described above, when a switch of the terminal monitor is operated, in the transmission unit, the address of the switch (terminal address + operation signal) is compared with the control table, and the transmission unit is connected to the set The terminal controller of the load corresponding to the switch transmits a transmission signal indicating load control. According to such an operation, it is possible to make the ON/OFF information of the switch reflect the control of the load.

但是，在所述的远程控制系统中作为终端监视器来使用的开关装置，在其壳体内具有至少一个所述开关、和存储按开关设定的地址(终端地址+操作序号)的地址存储器。向地址存储器存储的地址的设定，例如使用与开关装置不同的专用的地址设定器来进行。在该例中，对开关装置设定地址时，将由地址设定器设定的地址通过有线或者红外线通信等的方式传送给开关装置，并将该地址存储于地址存储器。However, the switch device used as a terminal monitor in the remote control system has at least one switch and an address memory for storing addresses (terminal address+operation number) set according to the switch in its housing. The address stored in the address memory is set, for example, using a dedicated address writer different from the switch device. In this example, when an address is set for the switch device, the address set by the address writer is transmitted to the switch device by means of wired or infrared communication, and the address is stored in the address memory.

但是，当利用专门的地址设定器来设定地址时，由于在开关装置单体中没有对设定的地址进行确认的部件，因此当开关装置或终端控制器的布局发生变化时，必须利用地址设定器对开关装置所设定的地址进行确认，地址的确认工作很麻烦。而且，地址设定器除了在地址设定时使用以外并不使用，因此由远程监视控制系统的管理着保管，一旦在保管中丢失，在需要变更地址时，就必须再次购买地址设定器，这对于管理者来说是一种负担。However, when using a dedicated address setting device to set the address, since there is no part to confirm the set address in the switchgear itself, when the layout of the switchgear or terminal controller changes, it must be used. The address setting device confirms the address set by the switch device, and the work of confirming the address is troublesome. Moreover, the address writer is not used except for address setting, so it is managed and stored by the remote monitoring and control system. Once it is lost during storage, it is necessary to purchase the address writer again when the address needs to be changed. This is a burden for managers.

因此，为了不使用专门的地址设定器也能设定地址，已提出在开关装置的壳体中增加地址设定机构的设计，该地址设定机构设定地址存储器存储的地址(例如，参照专利文献1)。作为地址设定机构，例如有具有多个双列式封装开关、并通过对各双列式封装开关的开启/关闭状态进行组合，以二进制数进行地址设定的地址设定机构；和具有旋转开关并利用旋转开关的旋转位置以十进制数进行地址设定的地址设定机构。Therefore, in order to set the address without using a special address setter, it has been proposed to increase the design of the address setting mechanism in the housing of the switchgear, and the address setting mechanism sets the address stored in the address memory (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). As the address setting mechanism, there is, for example, an address setting mechanism that has a plurality of dual-in-line package switches and performs address setting in binary numbers by combining the ON/OFF states of the respective dual-in-line package switches; The address setting mechanism uses the switch and uses the rotary position of the rotary switch to set the address in decimal numbers.

但是，在所述结构的地址设定机构中，在远程监视控制系统内使用的地址数增多时，则产生使可选择其量的地址数增加，从而地址设定机构的结构要素(双列直插开关、旋转开关)增加。尤其是在一个壳体中具有多个开关时，由于受壳体尺寸的限制等，每个开关中都设置单独的地址设定机构是很困难的。因此，大多是在壳体中设置仅能设定中断地址的地址设定机构，在制造时事先进行分配，以使有关操作顺序不改变。另外，在使用了双列直插开关的方式中，以二进制数设定地址，因此，与以十进制数设定地址的情况相比，对远程控制系统的管理者等来说，也存在地址难以理解、地址的分辨偏难这种问题。However, in the address setting mechanism of the above-mentioned structure, when the number of addresses used in the remote monitoring and control system increases, the number of addresses that can be selected increases, so that the structural elements of the address setting mechanism (dual-in-line) plug switch, rotary switch) increase. Especially when there are multiple switches in one housing, it is very difficult to provide a separate address setting mechanism for each switch due to the limitation of the size of the housing. Therefore, in many cases, an address setting mechanism that can only set an interrupt address is provided in the housing, and it is allocated in advance at the time of manufacture so that the relevant operation sequence does not change. In addition, in the method using the DIP switch, the address is set in binary numbers. Therefore, compared with the case where the address is set in decimal numbers, it is also difficult for the administrator of the remote control system to understand the address. It is such a problem that understanding, resolution of address is difficult.

与此相反，考虑将用十进制数的两位数进行数字显示的七段显示器、和由上行键和下行键组成、选择显示器所显示的地址的选择开关作为地址设定机构附加在每个所述开关上，使用通过选择开关的操作所选择的、显示器显示中的地址作为每个开关的地址。但是，在该结构中，在每个开关上附加有显示器及选择开关，因此，开关装置的结构要素大幅度增加，成为开关装置的小型化、低成本化的妨碍。On the contrary, it is considered that a seven-segment display with two decimal digits for digital display, and a selection switch consisting of an up key and a down key to select the address displayed on the display are attached as an address setting mechanism to each of the For the switch, the address displayed on the monitor selected by the operation of the selector switch is used as the address of each switch. However, in this configuration, since a display and a selector switch are added to each switch, the number of components of the switch device increases significantly, which hinders the reduction in size and cost of the switch device.

另外，在这样的开关装置中，按压操作控制开关时由于误操作而按压操作了切换开关时，工作模式被彻底切换。尤其是在已形成按照规定的规格的尺寸形状的开关装置中，所设置的控制开关和显示装置较多，因尺寸上的制约使得控制开关和切换开关的距离很近时，容易发生所述的误操作。In addition, in such a switch device, when the selector switch is pressed and operated due to an erroneous operation when the control switch is pressed, the operation mode is completely switched. Especially in the switchgear that has been formed in accordance with the size and shape of the specified specifications, there are many control switches and display devices, and when the distance between the control switch and the changeover switch is very close due to size constraints, the above-mentioned faults are likely to occur. Misuse.

发明内容Contents of the invention

本发明的第一目的是一种开关装置，其能够不使用专门的地址设定器对地址进行设定，除此之外，即使可选择的地址数增加也不会使地址设定机构的结构要素增加，从而能够设定任意的地址，并且可以使得结构要素比现有结构更少。The first object of the present invention is a switch device which can set the address without using a special address setting device, and besides, even if the number of selectable addresses increases, the structure of the address setting mechanism will not be affected. The number of elements increases, so that arbitrary addresses can be set, and the number of structural elements can be reduced compared with the existing structure.

本发明的第二目的是提供一种开关装置，其抑制按压操作控制开关时的切换开关的误操作。A second object of the present invention is to provide a switch device that suppresses erroneous operation of a selector switch when an operation control switch is pressed.

本发明的开关装置在远程监视控制系统中作为终端监视器使用，该远程监视控制系统具备：终端监视器，其具有开关；终端控制器，其通过信号线传送包含所述开关的开启/关闭信息的传送信号，由此，按照开关的开启/关闭来控制负载；传送单元，其具有将终端监视器的开关和由终端控制器控制的负载依据各自的地址进行对应的控制表，通过将来自终端监视器的传送信号传送到由控制表进行对应的终端控制器，可以进行负载的远程控制，所述开关装置的特征在于，在壳体中具备：至少一个所述开关；地址存储器，其按开关存储地址；地址设定机构，其设定地址存储器中存储的地址，地址设定机构包括：设置在壳体的前面并显示地址的显示器；在选择地址时操作的瞬时型的选择开关；在确定地址时操作的确定开关；模式切换开关，其根据所述开关的操作，对向终端控制器传送传送信号的普通模式及设定地址的地址设定模式两个工作模式进行切换，在操作选择开关时，依次切换在显示器中显示的地址，在操作确定开关时，在地址存储器中存储显示器正在显示的地址，所述开关在地址设定模式中兼作选择开关。根据该结构，地址设定机构在选择开关被操作时则依次切换显示器显示的地址，在确定开关被操作时，则将显示器显示中的地址存储于则地址存储器，因此，不使用专门的地址设定器就可以对地址进行设定。另外，由于是从显示器依次显示的地址中选择所需要的地址，因此，即使可选择的地址数增加，也不会使地址设定机构的结构要素增加，可以进行任意的地址设定。因而，即使在壳体中具有多个开关，也可以对每个开关设定任意的地址。另外，将开关兼作选择开关，因此与另外设置和开关不同的选择开关相比，具有可以使开关装置的结构要素减少的优点。The switch device of the present invention is used as a terminal monitor in a remote monitoring control system comprising: a terminal monitor having a switch; and a terminal controller transmitting on/off information including the switch through a signal line The transmission signal, thereby controlling the load according to the opening/closing of the switch; the transmission unit has a control table that corresponds the switch of the terminal monitor and the load controlled by the terminal controller according to their respective addresses. The transmission signal of the monitor is transmitted to the corresponding terminal controller by the control table, and the remote control of the load can be carried out. The switch device is characterized in that it has: at least one switch in the housing; an address memory, which presses the switch Storage address; address setting mechanism, which sets the address stored in the address memory, the address setting mechanism includes: a display that is arranged on the front of the housing and displays the address; a momentary selection switch that is operated when the address is selected; The determination switch operated during the address; the mode switching switch, which according to the operation of the switch, switches the two working modes of the normal mode for transmitting the transmission signal to the terminal controller and the address setting mode for setting the address, and operates the selection switch , the address displayed on the display is sequentially switched, and when the determination switch is operated, the address currently displayed on the display is stored in the address memory, and the switch doubles as a selection switch in the address setting mode. According to this structure, the address setting mechanism switches the address displayed on the display sequentially when the selection switch is operated, and stores the address displayed on the display in the address memory when the confirm switch is operated. Therefore, no special address setting is used. The address can be set by the setter. In addition, since the desired address is selected from the addresses sequentially displayed on the display, even if the number of selectable addresses increases, any address setting can be performed without increasing the number of structural elements of the address setting mechanism. Therefore, even if there are a plurality of switches in the casing, an arbitrary address can be set for each switch. In addition, since the switch is also used as the selector switch, there is an advantage that the number of components of the switch device can be reduced compared to separately providing a selector switch different from the switch.

本发明第二方面的开关装置，其为远程控制系统使用的开关装置，具备：开关装置，其具有分别设定了固有的地址的一至多个控制开关；和控制装置，其连接一至多个负载，经由信号线与开关装置连接，并且，基于在操作控制开关时经由信号线从开关装置接收的监视数据，对与所操作的控制开关对应的负载进行控制，所述开关装置的特征在于，具备：壳体；多个控制开关，其分别由按钮开关构成，并以使接受来自前方的压力的按钮露出壳体的前面的方式而保持于壳体；切换开关，其由按钮开关构成，并以使接受来自前方的压力的按钮露出壳体的前面的方式而保持于壳体；通信部，其保持于壳体且与信号线连接，并向控制装置发送监视数据；控制部，其收容于壳体，在按压操作切换开关时，在控制模式与设定模式之间择一地切换工作模式，所述控制模式在按压操作任一控制开关时，生成包含设定于被按压操作的控制开关的地址信息的监视数据，并且控制通信部，使该监视数据向控制装置发送，所述设定模式在按压操作控制开关时，变更被按压的控制开关的地址，在壳体的前面设有平面形状的露出部，该露出部位于比任一控制开关的按钮的前端更后方的位置，且从前方看分别包围各控制开关和切换开关，切换开关的按钮的前端位于比露出部更后方的位置。根据该发明，由于切换开关的按钮的前端位于比控制开关的按钮的前端更靠后方的位置，因此，与切换开关的按钮的前端和控制开关的按钮的前端配置在彼此相同的前后位置的情况相比，可抑制按压操作控制开关时的切换开关的误操作。A switch device according to a second aspect of the present invention is a switch device used in a remote control system, and includes: a switch device having one or more control switches each having its own address set; and a control device connected to one or more loads , connected to the switch device via a signal line, and based on the monitoring data received from the switch device via the signal line when the control switch is operated, the load corresponding to the operated control switch is controlled, and the switch device is characterized in that it has : housing; a plurality of control switches, which are respectively composed of push button switches, and are held in the casing in such a way that the buttons receiving the pressure from the front are exposed to the front of the casing; switch switches, which are composed of push button switches, and The button that receives the pressure from the front is held in the casing in such a way that it is exposed to the front of the casing; the communication part is held in the casing and connected to the signal line, and sends monitoring data to the control device; the control part is housed in the casing Specifically, when pressing and operating the switching switch, the operation mode is alternately switched between the control mode and the setting mode. The monitoring data of the address information, and control the communication part, so that the monitoring data is sent to the control device. In the setting mode, when the control switch is pressed, the address of the pressed control switch is changed. The exposed portion is located at a position more rearward than the front end of the button of any control switch, and surrounds each control switch and the toggle switch when viewed from the front, and the front end of the button of the toggle switch is located at a position more rearward than the exposed portion. According to this invention, since the front end of the button of the changeover switch is positioned behind the front end of the button of the control switch, the front end of the button of the changeover switch and the front end of the button of the control switch are arranged at the same front and rear positions. In contrast, it is possible to suppress erroneous operation of the selector switch when the control switch is pressed.

根据本发明，具有如下效果，即，在选择开关被操作时则依次切换显示器显示的地址，当确定开关被操作时，则将显示器显示中的地址存储于地址存储器，因此，不使用专门的地址设定器就可以对地址进行设定。另外，即使可选择的地址数增加，也不会使地址设定机构的结构要素增加，可以进行任意的地址设定。因而，即使在壳体中具有多个开关，也可以对每个开关设定任意的地址。另外，由于将开关兼作选择开关，因此可以使得结构要素比现有结构更少。According to the present invention, there is an effect that when the selection switch is operated, the address displayed on the display is sequentially switched, and when it is determined that the switch is operated, the address displayed on the display is stored in the address memory, therefore, no special address is used. The setting tool can set the address. Also, even if the number of selectable addresses increases, arbitrary address setting can be performed without increasing the number of structural elements of the address setting mechanism. Therefore, even if there are a plurality of switches in the casing, an arbitrary address can be set for each switch. In addition, since the switch is also used as a selector switch, the number of structural elements can be reduced compared with the conventional structure.

根据本发明，在壳体的前面设有平面形状的露出部，该露出部位于比任一个控制开关的按钮的前端都更靠后方的位置，从前方看分别包围各控制开关和切换开关，切换开关的按钮的前端位于比露出部更靠后方的位置，因此，由于切换开关的按钮的前端位于比控制开关的按钮的前端更靠后方的位置，从而，与切换开关的按钮的前端和控制开关的按钮的前端配置在彼此相同的前后位置的情况相比，可抑制按压操作控制开关时的切换开关的误操作。According to the present invention, a planar exposed portion is provided on the front of the housing. The exposed portion is located at a rear position than the front end of any control switch button, and surrounds each control switch and switch when viewed from the front. The front end of the button of the switch is located behind the exposed portion, therefore, since the front end of the button of the changeover switch is located behind the front end of the button of the control switch, the front end of the button of the changeover switch and the control switch Compared with the case where the front ends of the buttons are arranged at the same front and rear positions, it is possible to suppress erroneous operation of the selector switch when the control switch is pressed.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

〔第一实施方式〕[First Embodiment]

本实施方式中说明的开关装置1是在图2所示的远程监视控制系统中周围终端显示器使用的开关装置。该远程监视控制系统的基本结构和背景技术一栏中所说明的远程监视控制系统是一样的，但在图2中，使用背景技术一栏中所说明的远程监视控制系统的结构要素中，一体具有作为传送单元的功能和作为终端控制器的功能的主设备21。The switch device 1 described in this embodiment is a switch device used for peripheral terminal displays in the remote monitoring control system shown in FIG. 2 . The basic structure of this remote monitoring and control system is the same as the remote monitoring and control system described in the column of background technology, but in Figure 2, among the structural elements of the remote monitoring and control system described in the column of background technology, one Ahost device 21 having a function as a transmission unit and a function as a terminal controller.

该主设备21具备将负载L1～L8的电源的继电器Ry进行通断、且可装拆地连接继电器Ry的主体单元22。另外，主设备21内藏有传送单元的功能，因此通过使用双线式信号线(未图示)连接在作为终端监视器的开关装置1中，则设于开关装置1的开关2(参照图1)的操作可以由继电器Ry的通断来反映。另外，可安装在主设备21的主体单元22的继电器Ry的电路数被限制(在此最多为8个电路)，在将更多的负载电路作为控制对象的情况下，用信号线将作为终端控制器的子设备(未图示)与主设备连接，只要设于开关装置1的开关2的操作被子设备的继电器Ry的通断反映即可。另外，主设备21可以通过内部处理对继电器Ry进行控制，因此，自传送单元向终端控制器的传送信号不通过信号线而被传送。但是，即使在不通过信号线的情况下，为了和子设备等效处理，需要相当于终端控制器的地址的信息，因此，设于子设备21的各继电器Ry利用控制表与开关2对应。Thismaster device 21 includes amain body unit 22 that switches on and off a relay Ry of a power supply of the loads L1 to L8 and that is detachably connected to the relay Ry. In addition, themain equipment 21 has the function of a transmission unit built in, so by using a two-wire signal line (not shown) to connect to the switch device 1 as a terminal monitor, the switch 2 (refer to FIG. The operation of 1) can be reflected by the on-off of the relay Ry. In addition, the number of circuits of the relay Ry that can be installed in themain unit 22 of themaster device 21 is limited (here, a maximum of 8 circuits), and when more load circuits are used as the control object, the signal line will be used as a terminal. A sub-device (not shown) of the controller is connected to the main device, and the operation of theswitch 2 provided in the switch device 1 is reflected by the on-off of the relay Ry of the sub-device. In addition, since thehost device 21 can control the relay Ry through internal processing, the transmission signal from the transmission unit to the terminal controller is transmitted without passing through the signal line. However, even if the signal line is not passed, information corresponding to the address of the terminal controller is required for equivalent processing with the sub-device. Therefore, each relay Ry provided in thesub-device 21 corresponds to theswitch 2 using a control table.

在此，主设备21可连接的子设备最多为10台，在各子设备中，分别设有最多为4个电路的继电器Ry。总之，在使用了下述实施方式的开关装置1的远程监视控制系统中连接有最多为48个电路的继电器Ry。于是，假定是在继电器Ry中分配了1～48序号地址的开关，在开关装置1的开关2中也分配1～48序号地址，由此，相同序号的继电器Ry及开关2在控制表中相对应。进而，在开关2中，除1～48序号以外，也可以分配用于进行使远程监视控制系统内的所有继电器Ry一并断开的一并断开图案控制、及使其一并接通的一并接通图案控制的地址。即，如果按压操作被分配了用于一并断开的地址的开关2，远程监视控制系统内的所有继电器Ry就会一并断开。Here, a maximum of 10 sub-devices can be connected to themain device 21, and each sub-device is provided with a maximum of 4 relays Ry. In short, a maximum of 48 relays Ry are connected to the remote monitoring control system using the switchgear 1 of the embodiment described below. Therefore, assuming that the relay Ry is assigned a switch with a serial number address of 1 to 48, theswitch 2 of the switch device 1 is also assigned a serial number address of 1 to 48, so that the relay Ry and theswitch 2 with the same serial number are related in the control table. correspond. Furthermore, in theswitch 2, in addition to serial numbers 1 to 48, it is also possible to allocate a group-off pattern control for collectively turning off all the relays Ry in the remote monitoring control system, and a group-on pattern control. Also turn on the address of the pattern control. That is, when theswitch 2 to which the address for collective disconnection is assigned is pressed and operated, all the relays Ry in the remote monitoring control system are collectively disconnected.

如图1所示，本实施方式的开关装置1在一个壳体3内具备多个(在此为3个)开关2。壳体3形成长方体状，并从图1的上下两端面突出设置一对安装片4。两安装片4连接图1的左右各端部之间，从而形成矩形框状的框体5。以下，将图1的上下左右作为上下左右进行说明。As shown in FIG. 1 , a switch device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of (here, three)switches 2 in onehousing 3 . Thecasing 3 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a pair of mountingpieces 4 protrude from the upper and lower end faces in FIG. 1 . The two mountingpieces 4 are connected between the left and right ends of FIG. 1 to form a rectangular frame-shapedframe body 5 . Hereinafter, up, down, left, and right in FIG. 1 will be described as up, down, left, and right.

框体5与将埋入形的配线器具安装在壁面等施工面(未图示)时使用的安装框同样的功能，开关装置1以将壳体3的后部埋入在施工面上形成的施工孔(未图示)的形式，将安装片4的背面抵接固定于施工孔周围的施工面上。在安装片4上贯通设置有长孔6，该长孔6插通用于将开关装置1安装于被埋设于施工面的埋入盒上的盒螺栓(未图示)。在长孔6的两侧贯通设置有夹具用孔7，该夹具用孔7用于对将构成施工面的壁板等构造材料(未图示)夹在其与安装片4之间的周知的夹具(未图示)的一部分进行卡止。此时，壳体3形成为与在宽度方向并列三个单位尺寸的配线器具的尺寸(三个模块尺寸)大致相同的尺寸，该单位尺寸的配线器具能够在被埋入形配线器具用规格化后的一系列的安装杆上安装三个，并使前面露出地配设在施工面上。Theframe body 5 has the same function as the installation frame used when installing the embedded wiring device on the construction surface (not shown) such as the wall surface, and the switchgear 1 is formed by embedding the rear part of thehousing 3 on the construction surface. In the form of a construction hole (not shown), the back side of the mountingsheet 4 is abutted and fixed on the construction surface around the construction hole. The mountingpiece 4 is provided with along hole 6 penetrating therethrough, and a box bolt (not shown) for mounting the switchgear 1 on an embedding box embedded in a construction surface is inserted through thelong hole 6 . On both sides of theelongated hole 6, there areholes 7 for clamps. Theholes 7 for the clamps are used for clamping a well-known structural material (not shown) such as a wall plate constituting the construction surface and the mountingpiece 4 between it and the mountingpiece 4. A part of the jig (not shown) is locked. At this time, thecasing 3 is formed to have approximately the same size as the size (three module sizes) of three unit-sized wiring appliances that can be embedded in the embedded wiring appliance in the width direction. Install three on a standard series of mounting rods, and arrange them on the construction surface with the front exposed.

开关装置1的前面中被框体5围着的部分构成功能面9，在该功能面9上配设有操作开关2时被按压操作的操作件8。开关2的操作间8沿上下方向排列。在功能面9上除开关2的操作件8以外，还设有分别指示与各开关2对应的继电器Ry的入射状态的指示灯11、后述的地址设定时使用的显示器12及模式切换开关13。指示灯11例如在继电器Ry为接通的状态(即，负载中通电的状态)下，红色点灯，在继电器Ry为断开的状态(即，负载中未通电的状态)下，绿色点灯。A portion of the front surface of the switch device 1 surrounded by thehousing 5 constitutes afunctional surface 9 , and an operatingmember 8 that is pressed when theswitch 2 is operated is disposed on thefunctional surface 9 . Theoperation room 8 of theswitch 2 is arranged along the up and down direction. In addition to theoperation part 8 of theswitch 2, thefunctional surface 9 is provided with anindicator light 11 for respectively indicating the incident state of the relay Ry corresponding to eachswitch 2, adisplay 12 used for address setting described later, and a mode switching switch. 13. Theindicator lamp 11 lights up in red when the relay Ry is on (that is, the state of energizing the load), and lights in green when the relay Ry is off (that is, the state of not energizing the load).

另外，开关装置1具备以覆盖功能面9的方式安装于壳体3中的开关手柄14。图1表示将开关手柄14从框体3上拆下后的状态。开关手柄14具有与各开关2的操作件8对应的被沿上下方向多等分(在此为3等分)后的操作面板15、连结这些操作办15的左端部彼此的上下方向常的连结片16，通过使设在背面的卡合爪(未图示)与壳体卡合被安装在壳体3上。各操作面板15分别以可向压入后方(壳体3侧)的方式由连结片16支撑，在开关手柄14被安装于壳体3的状态下向后方压入时，在突设于背面的抵接台(未图示)上分别按压操作对应的开关2的操作件8。开关手柄14在用于控制负载L1～L8的通常时，将开关装置1安装在壳体3上，以使开关2的操作面增大，实现优良的操作性。在连结片16上的与各指示灯11对应的位置分别设有显示窗17，即使在安装了开关手柄14的状态下，通过显示窗17也可以从前方辨认指示灯11。另外，在壳体3的前面，在开关手柄14的周围安装有装饰板18(参照图2)。In addition, the switch device 1 includes aswitch handle 14 attached to thehousing 3 so as to cover thefunctional surface 9 . FIG. 1 shows a state in which the switch handle 14 is detached from theframe body 3 . The switch handle 14 has anoperation panel 15 corresponding to theoperation member 8 of eachswitch 2 that is divided into multiple equal parts (here, three equal parts) in the up and down direction, and the left ends of these operation handles 15 are connected to each other in the up and down direction. Thesheet 16 is attached to thecase 3 by engaging with the case with engaging claws (not shown) provided on the back. Eachoperation panel 15 is supported by theconnection piece 16 so as to be press-fitted rearward (casing 3 side). Theoperating elements 8 of thecorresponding switches 2 are respectively pressed and operated on the abutting platform (not shown). When the switch handle 14 is normally used to control the loads L1 to L8, the switch device 1 is mounted on thecase 3 so that the operation surface of theswitch 2 is enlarged and excellent operability is realized.Display windows 17 are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the indicator lights 11 on the connectingpiece 16, and the indicator lights 11 can be recognized from the front through thedisplay windows 17 even when the switch handle 14 is installed. In addition, adecorative plate 18 is attached around the switch handle 14 on the front surface of the housing 3 (see FIG. 2 ).

但是，在本实施方式的开关装置1的壳体3中具备：在远程监视控制系统中作为终端监视器使用时，按开关2存储所使用的地址的地址存储器(未图示)；和对被存储于地址存储器中的地址进行设定的地址设定机构19。However, thehousing 3 of the switch device 1 of the present embodiment is equipped with: an address memory (not shown) for storing the address used by pressing theswitch 2 when used as a terminal monitor in the remote monitoring control system; Theaddress setting mechanism 19 for setting the address stored in the address memory.

在地址设定机构19的壳体3的功能面9上，具有显示地址的显示器12、对开关装置1的工作模式进行切换的模式切换开关13、选择地址时操作的选择开关、确定地址时操作的确定开关。此时，所述开关2兼作选择开关，模式切换开关13兼作确定开关。显示器12分别与每个开关2对应，但在壳体3中仅设置一个确定开关(模式切换开关13)。On thefunctional surface 9 of thehousing 3 of theaddress setting mechanism 19, there are adisplay 12 for displaying the address, amode switch 13 for switching the operating mode of the switch device 1, a selection switch for selecting the address, and an operation for determining the address. OK switch. At this time, theswitch 2 also serves as a selection switch, and themode switching switch 13 also serves as a determination switch. Thedisplay 12 corresponds to eachswitch 2 respectively, but only one determination switch (mode switching switch 13 ) is provided in thecasing 3 .

选择开关(开关2)及确定开关(模式切换开关13)都由在按压操作时接点接通的瞬时型的按钮开关组成。模式切换开关13在被按压操作时，对按照开关2的操作将传送信号传送给终端控制器的普通模式、和对地址进行设定的地址设定模式两种工作模式进行切换。模式切换开关13在开关手柄被安装于壳体3的状态下设置于被开关手柄14覆盖的位置。由此，在将开关装置1用于负载L1～L8的控制的通常时，模式切换开关13由于被开关手柄14覆盖而不能进行操作，不留神模式切换开关13被操作而向地址设定模式转变的情况被防止。换言之，仅在将开关手柄14从壳体3上拆下后的状态下，能够使工作模式向地址设定模式转变，在开关手柄14被安装在壳体3的状态下开关装置1在普通模式下工作。Both the selector switch (switch 2 ) and the determination switch (mode selector switch 13 ) are composed of momentary push button switches whose contacts are turned on when pressed. When themode switching switch 13 is pressed, it switches between the normal mode for transmitting a transmission signal to the terminal controller according to the operation of theswitch 2 and the address setting mode for setting an address. Themode selector switch 13 is provided at a position covered by the switch handle 14 in a state where the switch handle is attached to thehousing 3 . Therefore, when the switch device 1 is used for normal control of the loads L1 to L8, themode selector switch 13 cannot be operated because it is covered by theswitch handle 14, and themode selector switch 13 is operated inadvertently to transition to the address setting mode. situation is prevented. In other words, only in the state after the switch handle 14 is detached from thehousing 3, the working mode can be changed to the address setting mode. down to work.

作为显示器12的一例采用两行七段液晶显示器。另外，在壳体3的功能面9上各显示器12的周围分别设有表示显示器12和开关2的对应关系的对应关系显示部20。对应关系显示部20被描绘成由虚线包围各显示器12，并且局部指示对应的开关2。另外，在地址设定模式下将指示灯11设定为和普通模式不同的点灯状态(在此为红色忽亮忽灭)，由此可以用指示灯11显示工作模式。As an example of thedisplay 12, a two-line seven-segment liquid crystal display is used. In addition, on thefunctional surface 9 of thecasing 3 , a correspondencerelationship display unit 20 showing the correspondence relationship between thedisplays 12 and theswitches 2 is respectively provided around the respective displays 12 . Thecorrespondence display section 20 is drawn to surround eachdisplay 12 with a dotted line, and partially indicates thecorresponding switch 2 . In addition, in the address setting mode, theindicator light 11 is set to a lighting state different from that in the normal mode (here, blinking red on and off), whereby the operation mode can be indicated by theindicator light 11 .

如上所述构成的地址设定机构19在地址设定模式下，选择开关(开关2)被按压操作时，依次切换显示器12显示的地址，确定开关(模式切换开关13)被操作时，将显示器12显示的地址存储于地址存储器中。在此，作为在开关装置1的各开关2中的地址分配有1～48号地址，因此，在地址设定模式下开关2被操作时，显示器12依次显示数字1、2、3、…、48。另外，在本实施方式中，除1～48号以外，也可以分配用于进行使远程监视控制系统内的所有继电器Ry一并断开的一并断开图案控制、及使其一并接通的一并接通图案控制的地址，因此，通过按压操作地址设定模式的开关2，也可以选择一并断开的地址即“OF”、一并接通的地址即“开启”。Theaddress setting mechanism 19 constituted as described above is in the address setting mode, when the selection switch (switch 2) is pressed and operated, the address displayed on thedisplay 12 is sequentially switched, and when the determination switch (mode switching switch 13) is operated, thedisplay 12 The address shown is stored in the address memory. Here, addresses 1 to 48 are assigned as addresses in eachswitch 2 of the switch device 1. Therefore, when theswitch 2 is operated in the address setting mode, thedisplay 12 sequentiallydisplays numbers 1, 2, 3, . . . 48. In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to Nos. 1 to 48, it is also possible to assign a collective off pattern control for collectively turning off all the relays Ry in the remote monitoring control system, and to make them collectively on. Therefore, by pressing theswitch 2 in the address setting mode, it is also possible to select "OF", which is the address to be turned off at the same time, and "ON", which is the address to be turned on at the same time.

具体的说，在地址设定模式下显示器12显示“48”时，如果对开关2进行一次操作，显示器12中就会显示一并接通的地址即”开启“。进而，如果按压操作开关2，显示器12中就会显示一并断开的地址即“OF”。另外，在地址设定模式下当显示器12中显示“OF“时，如果对开关2进行一次操作，显示器12就会显示不能进行地址设定(即为未设定)的“——”，如果再操作开关2显示器12的显示就会恢复“1”。Specifically, when thedisplay 12 displays "48" in the address setting mode, if theswitch 2 is operated once, the address that is connected together will be displayed in thedisplay 12, that is, "ON". Furthermore, when theoperation switch 2 is pressed, thedisplay 12 displays "OF", which is an address to be disconnected at the same time. In addition, in the address setting mode, when "OF" is displayed on thedisplay 12, if theswitch 2 is operated once, thedisplay 12 will display "——" that cannot be set for the address (that is, it is not set). The display of theswitch 2display 12 will be restored to "1" again.

在此，地址设定开关19具有快进功能，该快进功能是在地址设定模式下，选择开关(开关2)在规定的长时间内被持续按压操作(即，长按)时，将显示器12显示的地址以快进的方式依次进行切换。在开关2被按压操作超过长按时间时，如果开关2的按压操作持续，地址的快进就持续。由此，如本实施方式，在可选择的地址数多的情况下对后半的地址进行设定时，利用快进功能就可以缩短直到显示器12显示目标地址需要的时间，其结果是地址设定的作业效率提高。并且，通过在地址设定模式下的开关2的长按，可以进行用来利用快进功能的操作，因此，与为了得到快进功能而另外设置专门开关的情况相比，能够减少开关装置1的结构要素。另外，在本实施方式中，作为其一例将长按时间设定为3秒。Here, theaddress setting switch 19 has a fast-forward function, and the fast-forward function is that in the address setting mode, when the selection switch (switch 2) is pressed continuously (that is, long pressed) for a specified long time, it will The addresses displayed on thedisplay 12 are switched sequentially in a fast-forward manner. When theswitch 2 is pressed for longer than the long press time, if theswitch 2 is pressed continuously, the fast-forwarding of the address continues. Thus, as in this embodiment, when setting the addresses in the second half when the number of selectable addresses is large, the time required for displaying the target address on thedisplay 12 can be shortened by using the fast-forward function. As a result, the address setting A certain work efficiency is improved. In addition, by pressing and holding theswitch 2 in the address setting mode, an operation for using the fast forward function can be performed. Therefore, compared with the case where a special switch is separately provided for the fast forward function, the number of switch devices 1 can be reduced. structural elements. In addition, in this embodiment, the long press time is set to 3 seconds as an example.

而且，在显示器12显示出要求的地址(或显示未设定的“——”)的状态下，如果对模式切换开关13进行按压操作，显示器2显示中的地址就会作为开关2的地址被存储于与显示器12对应的地址存储器中，同时，工作模式被切换为普通模式。在普通模式下，由于开关2没有作为选择开关的功能，因此，即使操作了开关2地址也不会被改变。在本实施方式中，在普通模式下，各开关2分别对应的显示器12显示各开关2的地址，但是，显示器12也可以仅在地址设定模式下显示地址。另外，图1表示对任何开关2来说地址都未设定的状态(显示器12的显示为“——”的状态)。Moreover, in the state where thedisplay 12 displays the requested address (or displays an unset “——”), if themode switching switch 13 is pressed, the address displayed on thedisplay 2 will be used as the address of theswitch 2. stored in the address memory corresponding to thedisplay 12, and at the same time, the working mode is switched to the normal mode. In normal mode, sinceswitch 2 does not function as a selection switch, the address will not be changed even ifswitch 2 is operated. In this embodiment, in the normal mode, thedisplay 12 corresponding to eachswitch 2 displays the address of eachswitch 2, but thedisplay 12 may display the address only in the address setting mode. In addition, FIG. 1 shows the state in which the address is not set for any of the switches 2 (the display of thedisplay 12 is "—" state).

另外，地址设定机构19具有模式复位功能，该模式复位功能是在地址设定模式下，当开关2持续未被操作的期间贯穿规定的无操作时间时，即使模式切换开关13不被操作，也会将工作模式自动地切换为普通模式。由此，例如，在地址设定作业中，即使作业者因急事离开其现场且开关装置1被原封不动放置在地址设定模式，在无操作时间也会自动地恢复普通模式，因此，可以减小作业者以外的人不知其为地址设定模式而对开关装置1进行操作，从而造成地址被错误地改变的可能性。在此，在利用模式复位功能恢复为普通模式的情况下，由于确定开关未被操作，因此，显其12所显示的设定中途的地址不会存储在地址存储器中，因而，开关2的地址不会错误地更新为设定中途的地址。因此，在开关装置1处在地址设定模式的状态下，即使以控制负载L1～L8为目的操作开关2而切换了显示器12显示中的地址，也能够避免该地址错误地设定在地址存储器中。另外，利用模式复位功能恢复为普通模式时，地址存储器内的地址不会更新，因此，将工作模式切换为地址设定模式前的地址持续适用，显示器12也显示该地址。In addition, theaddress setting mechanism 19 has a mode reset function. The mode reset function is that in the address setting mode, when theswitch 2 has not been operated for a specified non-operation time, even if themode switch 13 is not operated, It will also automatically switch the working mode to normal mode. Thus, for example, in the address setting operation, even if the operator leaves the site in an emergency and the switch device 1 is left intact in the address setting mode, it will automatically return to the normal mode during the non-operation time. Therefore, it is possible to It is possible to reduce the possibility that a person other than an operator operates the switch device 1 without knowing that it is in the address setting mode, thereby changing the address by mistake. Here, when the mode reset function is used to return to the normal mode, since the switch is determined not to be operated, the address in the middle of the setting displayed on thedisplay 12 will not be stored in the address memory. Therefore, the address of theswitch 2 The address in the middle of setting will not be updated by mistake. Therefore, even if the address displayed on thedisplay 12 is switched by operating theswitch 2 for the purpose of controlling the loads L1 to L8 while the switch device 1 is in the address setting mode, it is possible to prevent the address from being erroneously set in the address memory. middle. In addition, when the mode reset function is used to return to the normal mode, the address in the address memory will not be updated. Therefore, the address before the operation mode is switched to the address setting mode continues to apply, and thedisplay 12 also displays the address.

下面，参照图3对本实施方式的开关装置1中设定每个开关2的地址的方法进行说明。在此，表示从上下方向排列的三个开关2的地址都未设定的状态开始，将上段的开关2的地址设定为“15”、将中段的开关2的地址设定为“30”、将下段的开关2的地址设定为“OF”(一并断开)的例子。Next, a method of setting an address for eachswitch 2 in the switch device 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . Here, starting from the state where the addresses of the threeswitches 2 arranged in the vertical direction are not set, the address of theupper switch 2 is set to "15", and the address of themiddle switch 2 is set to "30". . An example in which the address of theswitch 2 in the lower stage is set to "OF" (together open).

开关装置1处于普通模式时，通过对模式切换开关13进行一次选择，使工作模式转变到地址设定模式。由此，指示灯11为红色忽亮忽灭。此时，所有开关2的地址都未设定，因此，如图3所示，所有的显示器12都显示“——”。假如在该状态下开关2未被操作，如果经过事先设定的无操作时间(例如10分钟)，工作模式就会利用模式复位功能自动地转变为普通模式。When the switch device 1 is in the normal mode, the operation mode is changed to the address setting mode by selecting themode switching switch 13 once. Thus, theindicator light 11 is red and flickers on and off. At this time, the addresses of all theswitches 2 are not set, therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , all thedisplays 12 display “——”. If theswitch 2 is not operated in this state, if the preset non-operation time (for example, 10 minutes) passes, the working mode will automatically change to the normal mode by using the mode reset function.

另一方面，在地址设定模式下如果操作开关2，显示器12所显示的地址就会被依次切换，因此，如图3(b)所示，通过各开关2的操作，上段的显示器12、中段的显示器12、下段的显示器分别显示“15”、“30”、“OF”。其后，假如开关2未被操作，如果经过无操作时间，工作模式就会利用模式复位功能自动地转变为普通模式，因此，显示器12的显示也恢复转变未地址设定模式前的“——”。On the other hand, if theswitch 2 is operated in the address setting mode, the addresses displayed on thedisplay 12 will be switched sequentially. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Thedisplay 12 of the middle stage and the display of the lower stage display "15", "30" and "OF" respectively. Thereafter, if theswitch 2 is not operated, if the non-operation time passes, the working mode will utilize the mode reset function to automatically change to the common mode, therefore, the display of thedisplay 12 also restores the "—— ".

另一方面，在图3(b)的状态下，如果对模式切换开关13进行一次操作，工作模式就转变为普通模式，指示灯11从红色忽亮忽灭转变为红色点灯或绿色点灯。此时，各显示器12显示中的地址分别作为对应的开关2的地址被存储在地址存储器中，因此，如图3(c)所示，即使转变为普通模式，各显示器12也持续显示“15”、“30”、“OF”。On the other hand, in the state of Fig. 3 (b), if themode switching switch 13 is operated once, the operating mode will change to the normal mode, and theindicator light 11 will change from red to red or green. At this moment, the addresses displayed by eachdisplay 12 are respectively stored in the address memory as the address of thecorresponding switch 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. ", "30", "OF".

根据以上说明的本实施方式的开关装置1，地址设定机构19在地址设定模式下，当选择开关(开关2)被操作时，将显示器12显示的地址依次进行切换，当确定开关(模式切换开关13)被操作时，将显示器12显示终的地址存储在地址存储器中，因此，不用设置专门的地址设定器就可以对地址进行设定。另外，由于是从显示器12依次显示的地址选择所需要的地址，因此，即使可选择的地址数增加，也不会增加地址设定机构19的结构要素，且可以对任意的地址进行设定。因而，在壳体中设有多个开关2的情况下，也可以对每个开关2的地址进行设定。另外，由于开关2兼作选择开关，因此，与设置和开关2不同的选择开关的情况相比，能够使开关装置1的结构要素减少。According to the switch device 1 of the present embodiment described above, theaddress setting mechanism 19 switches the addresses displayed on thedisplay 12 sequentially when the selection switch (switch 2) is operated in the address setting mode, and when the switch (mode 2) is determined, When the selector switch 13) is operated, the address displayed on thedisplay 12 is stored in the address memory, so the address can be set without providing a special address setting device. In addition, since the desired address is selected from the addresses sequentially displayed on thedisplay 12, even if the number of selectable addresses increases, an arbitrary address can be set without increasing the number of components of the address setting means 19. Therefore, even when a plurality ofswitches 2 are provided in the casing, the address for eachswitch 2 can be set. In addition, since theswitch 2 also serves as a selection switch, the number of components of the switch device 1 can be reduced compared to the case of providing a selection switch different from theswitch 2 .

Thedisplay window 143 is made of, for example, transparent synthetic resin.

另外，在各手柄部142的前面分别设有长方形的罩凹部142a，并且，在个罩凹部142a的底面分别设有卡片凹部142b，在各手柄部142可以安装名片44和铭牌罩145，其中，该名片44例如由纸构成且收容在卡片凹部142b；该铭牌罩145例如由透明的合成树脂构成，且通过与罩凹部142a嵌合固定在手柄部142从而防止名片144的脱落。在名片144上记入例如利用手柄部142操作的控制开关121所对应的负载的名称。In addition, a rectangular cover recess 142a is respectively provided on the front of each handlepart 142, and a card recess 142b is respectively provided on the bottom surface of each cover recess 142a, and a business card 44 and anameplate cover 145 can be installed on eachhandle part 142, wherein, The business card 44 is, for example, made of paper and accommodated in the card recess 142b; For example, the name of the load corresponding to thecontrol switch 121 operated by thehandle part 142 is written on thebusiness card 144 .

在此，如图5所示，各指示灯123的发光部及各控制开关121的按钮分别比铭牌134的前面更向前方突出。另一方面，切换开关122的按钮虽然向切换凹部1321的内侧突出，但是，切换开关122的前端位于比铭牌凹部1321的底面更靠后侧的位置。Here, as shown in FIG. 5 , the light emitting parts of the indicator lights 123 and the buttons of the control switches 121 protrude forward from the front of thenameplate 134 . On the other hand, although the button of theselector switch 122 protrudes inward of theselector recess 1321 , the front end of theselector switch 122 is located on the rear side of the bottom surface of thenameplate recess 1321 .

根据所述结构，切换开关122的按钮的前端位于比任何控制开关121的按钮的前端更靠后方的位置，因此，切换开关122的按钮的前端和各控制开关121的前端配置在彼此相同的前后位置的情况相比，可以抑制操作控制开关121时的切换开关122的误操作。According to the above configuration, the front end of the button of thechangeover switch 122 is positioned behind the front end of any of the buttons of thecontrol switch 121, and therefore, the front end of the button of thechangeover switch 122 and the front end of eachcontrol switch 121 are arranged at the same front and rear. Compared with the case where thecontrol switch 121 is operated, an erroneous operation of theselector switch 122 can be suppressed.

另外，通过设置使切换开关122的按钮向内侧突出的切换凹部132k，使得手指对切换开关122的按压操作比切换开关122的按钮不向切换凹部132k的内侧突出的情况容易，从而，切换开关122的按压操作不需要螺丝刀等夹具。另外，切换凹部132k的形状及大小只要根据切换开关122的按钮的尺寸形状、及在切换开关122上为接受按压操作所需要的行程(压入深度)进行适宜地选择即可。In addition, by providing the switching recessedportion 132k in which the button of the switchingswitch 122 protrudes inward, it is easier to press the switchingswitch 122 with a finger than when the button of the switchingswitch 122 does not protrude inwardly from the switchingconcave portion 132k. The pressing operation does not require jigs such as screwdrivers. The shape and size of theswitching recess 132k may be appropriately selected according to the size and shape of the button of the switchingswitch 122 and the stroke (pressing depth) required for receiving the pressing operation on the switchingswitch 122 .

另外，在切换开关122的按钮中，如果从前方看到的尺寸形状和颜色的至少一方与任何控制开关121的按钮均不同，则通过切换开关122的按钮和各控制开关121的按钮，与从前方看到的尺寸形状及颜色完全相同的情况相比，由于使用者容易区别切换开关122的按钮与控制开关121的按钮，从而，误操作得到抑制，因此是理想的。In addition, among the buttons of the switchingswitch 122, if at least one of the size, shape and color seen from the front is different from any of the buttons of thecontrol switch 121, the buttons of the switchingswitch 122 and the buttons of eachcontrol switch 121 are different from the previous ones. Compared with the case where the size, shape and color seen by the other side are exactly the same, the user can easily distinguish the button of thechangeover switch 122 from the button of thecontrol switch 121, thereby suppressing erroneous operations, which is ideal.

进而，如果在切换开关122中，为接受按压操作所需要的按压力比任何控制开关121更强，并且，使得从前方看到的按钮的面积比任何控制开关121更小，则与使为接受按压操作所需要的按压力、及从前方看到的按钮的面积在切换开关122和各控制开关121中相同的情况相比，更可抑制误操作，因此是理想的。Furthermore, if in thechangeover switch 122, the pressing force required for accepting the pressing operation is stronger than any of the control switches 121, and the area of the button seen from the front is made smaller than that of any of the control switches 121, then it is the same as making it acceptable. It is preferable that the pressing force required for the pressing operation and the area of the button seen from the front are the same for theselector switch 122 and each of the control switches 121 because misoperation can be suppressed more.
