- the additional switch is formed by a slide switch or key contacts.
- the transmitter is switched from one receiver to another in such a way that once a setting has been selected, it is permanently retained and is only changed again by switching again. The operator must first of all convince himself of which receiver the respective transmitter is set to if he wants to avoid an erroneous actuation of another receiver.
- Such a device is unsuitable for remote control of the above-mentioned beds, since there is then the risk that not the own bed, but the bed of the other person is accidentally adjusted.

- Actuation of the partner's device is possible, for example, if the partner is temporarily unable to operate his transmitter or has misplaced it.
- the first remote control transmitter is automatically set so that it controls the functions of the first receiver when operated appropriately. The same applies to the second remote control transmitter.
- each remote control transmitter has an integrated circuit which has an address control connection and address selection connections, the higher-order one of two controlled address selection connections having priority.
- an integrated circuit is, for example, the SAA 3004 (Valvo) module.
- the address control connection is connected to a lower-value address selection connection and via an emitter-collector path of a switching transistor to a higher-value address selection connection.

- An infrared transmitter module (6) is located on the output side of the integrated component.
- the integrated component is provided with an address control connection (7) and with address selection connections (8, 9). If there is a signal at the address selection connection (8), the transmitter emits a pulse sequence when the buttons (2) are pressed, which controls the first receiver. If, on the other hand, there is a signal at the address selection connection (9), then the transmitter emits a signal which, when a key (2) is pressed, controls the second receiver.
- the address control connection (7) is connected to the address selection connection (8) via a line (10) in which a diode (D1) is located.

- the transistor (T) is conductive when the push button switch (3) is open, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is present at both address selection connections (8, 9). Since the address selection connection (9) has priority, the second transmitter (1) controls the second receiver when a key (2) is pressed accordingly.
- the transistor (T) blocks, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is now only present at the address selection connection (8).
- the second transmitter (1) is thus ready to control the function of the first receiver. After releasing the key switch (3), the functions of the second receiver can be controlled again with the second transmitter (1).

Abstract
Für zwei gleiche, je für sich fernverstellbare Vorrichtungen, beispielsweise Betten eines Raumes, wird eine Fernbedienungselnrichtung vorgeschlagen. Im Regelfall steuert jeder Bediener mit seinem Fernbedienungssender die Funktionen seiner Vorrichtung und nur im Bedarfsfall die Funktionen der Vorrichtung des Partners. Eine irrtümliche Betätigung der Vorrichtung des Partners soll weitestgehend ausgeschlossen sein. Es ist hierfür in beiden Fernbedienungssendern je ein Tastschalter vorgesehen. Wenn und solange der Tastschalter des einen Senders betätigt ist, steuert er die Funktionen des Empfängers des Partners.A remote control device is proposed for two identical devices, each of which is remotely adjustable, for example beds in a room. As a rule, each operator controls the functions of his device with his remote control transmitter and only when necessary the functions of the partner's device. An erroneous operation of the partner's device should be largely excluded. For this purpose, a push button switch is provided in both remote control transmitters. If and as long as the push button switch of one transmitter is operated, it controls the functions of the partner's receiver.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fernbedienungseinrichtung für zwei gleiche, je für sich fernverstellbare Vorrichtungen, beispielsweise Betten, eines Raumes, wobei die erste Vorrichtung mit einem ersten Empfänger und die zweite Vorrichtung mit einem zweiten Empfänger ausgestattet ist und dem ersten Empfänger ein erster drahtloser Fernbedienungssender und dem zweiten Empfänger ein zweiter drahtloser Fernbedienungssender zugeordnet sind, beide Fernbedienungssender Tasten zur Ansteuerung der unterschiedlichen Funktionen steuernden Empfangskanäle der Vorrichtungen aufweisen und jeder Fernbedienungssender mittels eines Zusatzschalters wahlweise auf die Empfangskanäle des einen oder anderen Empfängers umschaltbar ist, so daß je nach der Stellung des Zusatzschalters und der Betätigung einer der Tasten eine der Funktionen der einen oder anderen Vorrichtung geschaltet werden kann.The invention relates to a remote control device for two identical, each independently adjustable devices, for example beds, of a room, the first device being equipped with a first receiver and the second device with a second receiver, and the first receiver being a first wireless remote control transmitter and the second A second wireless remote control transmitter is assigned to the receiver, both remote control transmitters have buttons for controlling the receiving channels of the devices that control the different functions, and each remote control transmitter can be switched to the receiving channels of one or the other receiver by means of an additional switch, so that depending on the position of the additional switch and the actuation one of the buttons one of the functions of one or the other device can be switched.
Es sind Schlafzimmereinrichtungen bekannt, bei denen an den beiden Betten die Liegeflächen motorisch verstellbar sind. Zur Steuerung kann eine Infrarot-Fernbedienung vorgesehen sein, wobei jedem Bett ein eigener Fernbediensender zugeordnet ist, damit jedes Bett getrennt verstellbar ist.Bedroom furnishings are known in which the bed surfaces on the two beds can be adjusted by motor. An infrared remote control can be provided for control purposes, with each bed having its own remote control transmitter so that each bed can be adjusted separately.
Es ist bekannt, bei einer Fernbedienungseinrichtung, bei der einem von mehreren Empfängern jeweils ein eigener Sender zugeordnet ist, die Sender so aufzubauen, daß sie mittels eines Zusatzschalters auch auf einen anderen Empfänger umschaltbar sind. Hierbei ist der Zusatzschalter von einem Schiebeschalter oder Tastenkontakten gebildet. In beiden Fällen erfolgt die Umschaltung des Senders von einem auf einen anderen Empfänger in der Weise, daß eine einmal gewählte Einstellung dauerhaft erhalten bleibt und erst durch eine erneute Umschaltung wieder geändert wird. Der Bediener muß sich also zunächst davon überzeugen, auf welchen Empfänger der jeweilige Sender eingestellt ist, wenn er eine irrtümliche Betätigung eines anderen Empfängers vermeiden will.In a remote control device in which one of several receivers is assigned a separate transmitter, it is known to construct the transmitters in such a way that they can also be switched to another receiver by means of an additional switch. Here, the additional switch is formed by a slide switch or key contacts. In both cases, the transmitter is switched from one receiver to another in such a way that once a setting has been selected, it is permanently retained and is only changed again by switching again. The operator must first of all convince himself of which receiver the respective transmitter is set to if he wants to avoid an erroneous actuation of another receiver.
Eine derartige Einrichtung ist zur Fernsteuerung der oben genannten Betten ungeeignet, da dann die Gefahr besteht, daß versehentlich nicht das eigene Bett, sondern das Bett des Anderen verstellt wird. Gleiches gilt, wenn mit der Fernsteuereinrichtung auch andere, einem Bediener zugeordnete Einrichtungen, wie beispielsweise Nachttischlampen und/oder Wecker gesteuert werden sollen.Such a device is unsuitable for remote control of the above-mentioned beds, since there is then the risk that not the own bed, but the bed of the other person is accidentally adjusted. The same applies if the remote control device is also to be used to control other devices associated with an operator, such as bedside lamps and / or alarm clocks.
Es ist ein integriertes Bauteil SAA 3004 (Valvo) marktbekannt, das für den Aufbau mehrkanaliger, adressierbarer Sender geeignet ist.An integrated component SAA 3004 (Valvo) is known on the market, which is suitable for the construction of multi-channel, addressable transmitters.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Fernbedienungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, bei der im Regelfall jeder Bediener mit seinem Fernbedienungssender nur die Funktionen seiner Vorrichtung und nur im Bedarfsfall die Funktionen der Vorrichtung des anderen Bedieners steuern kann, wobei eine irrtümliche Betätigung der Vorrichtung des anderen Bedieners weitestgehend ausgeschlossen ist.The object of the invention is to propose a remote control device of the type mentioned, in which, as a rule, each operator can only control the functions of his device with his remote control transmitter and only if necessary the functions of the device of the other operator, with an erroneous actuation of the device of the other Operator is largely excluded.
Erfindungsgemäß ist obige Aufgabe bei einer Fernbedienungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß bei beiden Fernbedienungssendern als Zusatzschalter je ein Tastschalter vorgesehen ist, daß dann und solange der Tastschalter des ersten Fernbedienungssenders betätigt ist, mit dessen Tasten die Funktionen des zweiten Empfängers steuerbar sind und nach der Beendigung der Betätigung dieses Tastschalters mit den Tasten des ersten Fernbedienungssenders die Funktionen des ersten Empfängers steuerbar sind und daß dann und solange der Tastschalter des zweiten Fernbedienungssenders betätigt ist, mit dessen Tasten die Funktionen des ersten Empfängers steuerbar sind und nach der Betätigung dieses Tastschalters mit den Tasten des zweiten Fernbedienungssenders die Funktionen des zweiten Empfängers steuerbar sind.According to the invention, the above object is achieved in a remote control device of the type mentioned at the outset in that a button switch is provided as an additional switch in each of the two remote control transmitters, that then and as long as the button switch of the first remote control transmitter is actuated, with the buttons of which the functions of the second receiver can be controlled and after the completion of the actuation of this key switch with the buttons of the first remote control transmitter, the functions of the first receiver are controllable and that then and as long as the button switch of the second remote control transmitter is actuated, with the buttons of which the functions of the first receiver can be controlled and after the actuation of this button switch with the Buttons of the second remote control transmitter, the functions of the second receiver are controllable.
Bei dieser Einrichtung muß der Bediener, wenn er nicht seine eigene Vorrichtung, sondern die seines Partners bedienen will, einerseits den Tastschalter seines Senders und andererseits die die gewünschte Funktion steuernde Taste betätigen. Damit ist im Endergebnis eine Steuerung einer Funktion der Vorrichtung des Partners nur durch eine Betätigung des Senders mit zwei Fingern möglich. Es kann also kaum versehentlich eine Funktion der Vorrichtung des Partners angesteuert werden. Der Bediener braucht sich optisch nicht davon überzeugen, auf welchen Empfänger sein Sender eingestellt ist. Somit kann eine sichere Betätigung auch im Dunkeln erfolgen.With this device, the operator, if he does not want to operate his own device, but that of his partner, must press the button switch of his transmitter on the one hand and the button controlling the desired function on the other hand. In the end result, control of a function of the partner's device is only possible by actuating the transmitter with two fingers. A function of the partner's device can therefore hardly be inadvertently activated. The operator does not have to visually convince himself which receiver his transmitter is set to. This enables safe operation even in the dark.
Eine Betätigung der Vorrichtung des Partners kommt beispielsweise dann in Frage, wenn dieser zeitweilig nicht in der Lage ist, seinen Sender zu betätigen oder er diesen verlegt hat.Actuation of the partner's device is possible, for example, if the partner is temporarily unable to operate his transmitter or has misplaced it.
Nach jedem Loslassen des Tastschalters ist der erste Fernbedienungssender von selbst so eingestellt, daß er bei entsprechender Bedienung die Funktionen des ersten Empfängers ansteuert. Entsprechendes gilt für den zweiten Fernbedienungssender.Each time the button switch is released, the first remote control transmitter is automatically set so that it controls the functions of the first receiver when operated appropriately. The same applies to the second remote control transmitter.
In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist jeder Fernbedienungssender einen integrierten Schaltkreis auf, der einen Adressen-Steueranschluß und Adressen-Wahlanschlüsse aufweist, wobei von zwei angesteuerten Adressen-Wahlanschlüssen der höherwertigere die Priorität hat. Ein derartiger integrierter Schaltkreis ist beispielsweise der Baustein SAA 3004 (Valvo). Der Adressen-Steueranschluß ist mit einem niederwertigeren Adressen-Wahlanschluß und über eine Emitter-Kollektorstrecke eines Schalttransistors mit einem höherwertigeren Adressen-Wahlanschluß verbunden. Parallel zur Emitter-Kollektorstrecke des Schalttransistors liegt ein Spannungsteiler, der aus dem Tastschalter und einem Widerstand besteht und dessen Abgriff an die Basis des Schalttransistors angeschlossen ist. Beim ersten Fernbedienungssender liegt der Tastschalter zwischen der Basis und dem Kollektor des Schalttransistors, wogegen beim zweiten Fernbedienungssender der Tastschalter zwischen dem Emitter und der Basis des Schalttransistors liegt. Damit ist die beschriebene Funktionsweise auf schaltungstechnisch einfache Weise verwirklicht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each remote control transmitter has an integrated circuit which has an address control connection and address selection connections, the higher-order one of two controlled address selection connections having priority. Such an integrated circuit is, for example, the SAA 3004 (Valvo) module. The address control connection is connected to a lower-value address selection connection and via an emitter-collector path of a switching transistor to a higher-value address selection connection. Parallel to the emitter-collector path of the switching transistor is a voltage divider, which consists of the pushbutton switch and a resistor and whose tap is connected to the base of the switching transistor. In the first remote control transmitter, the push button switch is located between the base and the collector of the switching transistor, whereas in the second remote control transmitter the push button switch is located between the emitter and the base of the switching transistor. The mode of operation described is thus implemented in a simple manner in terms of circuitry.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Spannungsteiler einen umpolbaren Anschluß auf. Dadurch ist es in der Fertigung möglich, die ersten Sender und die zweiten Sender baugleich herzustellen. Durch ein entsprechendes Einsetzen des Spannungsteilers wird der Sender zu einem ersten bzw. zweiten Sender.In a further embodiment of the invention, the voltage divider has a reversible connection. This enables the first transmitters and the second transmitters to be constructed identically in production. By appropriately inserting the voltage divider, the transmitter becomes a first or second transmitter.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels.Further advantageous refinements of the invention result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment.

Ein Infrarot-Fernbedienungssender (1) weist eine Mehrzahl von Tasten (2) auf. Durch Betätigen der Tasten (2) lassen sich ein Kopfteil, ein Oberteil und ein Fußteil eines Bettes verstellen. Das Bett ist hierfür mit einem entsprechenden Empfänger ausgerüstet.An infrared remote control transmitter (1) has a plurality of buttons (2). A head part, an upper part and a foot part of a bed can be adjusted by pressing the buttons (2). The bed is equipped with an appropriate receiver.
Der Fernbedienungssender (1) ist mit einem Tastschalter (3) versehen.The remote control transmitter (1) is provided with a push button (3).
Für zwei in einem Schlafzimmer aufgestellte Betten sind zwei Fernbedienungssender (1) vorgesehen, wobei bei nicht betätigten Tastschaltern (3) mittels der Tasten (2) des einen Fernbedienungssenders (1) das eine Bett und mittels der Tasten (2) des anderen Fernbedienungssenders (1) das andere Bett verstellbar ist.Two remote control transmitters (1) are provided for two beds set up in a bedroom, with one of the beds and the buttons (2) of the other remote control transmitter (1 ) the other bed is adjustable.
Beide Fernbedienungssender (1) weisen ein integriertes Bauteil SAA 3004 auf. An dieses sind eingangsseitig ein Oszillator (4) und eine Matrixanordnung (5) angeschlossen, auf die die Tasten (2) wirken. Ausgangsseitig liegt am integrierten Bauteil ein Infrarot-Sendebaustein (6).Both remote control transmitters (1) have an integrated component SAA 3004. An oscillator (4) and a matrix arrangement (5) on which the keys (2) act are connected to this on the input side. An infrared transmitter module (6) is located on the output side of the integrated component.
Das integrierte Bauteil ist mit einem Adressen-Steueranschluß (7) und mit Adressen-Wahlanschlüssen (8, 9) versehen. Liegt am Adressen-Wahlanschluß (8) ein Signal an, dann gibt der Sender -bei Betätigung der Tasten (2)- eine Impulsfolge ab, die den ersten Empfänger steuert. Liegt dagegen am Adressen-Wahlanschluß (9) ein Signal, dann gibt der Sender ein Signal ab, das -bei Betätigung einer Taste (2)- den zweiten Empfänger steuert.The integrated component is provided with an address control connection (7) and with address selection connections (8, 9). If there is a signal at the address selection connection (8), the transmitter emits a pulse sequence when the buttons (2) are pressed, which controls the first receiver. If, on the other hand, there is a signal at the address selection connection (9), then the transmitter emits a signal which, when a key (2) is pressed, controls the second receiver.
Liegt an beiden Adressen-Wahlanschlüssen (8, 9) gleichzeitig ein Signal an, dann wird der zweite Empfänger angesteuert, da der Adressen-Wahlanschluß (9) Priorität hat.If a signal is present at both address selection connections (8, 9) at the same time, then the second receiver is activated since the address selection connection (9) has priority.
Der Adressen-Steueranschluß (7) ist über eine Leitung (10), in der eine Diode (D1) liegt, mit dem Adressen-Wahlanschluß (8) verbunden. Außerdem ist der Adressen-Steueranschluß (7) über eine Emitter-Kollektorstrecke (E-K) eines Schalttransistors (T) und eine weitere Diode (D2) mit dem Adressen-Wahlanschluß (9) verbunden.The address control connection (7) is connected to the address selection connection (8) via a line (10) in which a diode (D1) is located. In addition, the address control connection (7) is connected to the address selection connection (9) via an emitter-collector path (E-K) of a switching transistor (T) and a further diode (D2).
Parallel zur Emitter-Kollektorstrecke (E-K) ist ein Spannungsteiler, bestehend aus einem Widerstand (R) und dem Tastschalter (3) geschaltet. Der Abgriff des Spannungsteilers liegt an der Basis (B) des Transistors (T).A voltage divider consisting of a resistor (R) and the pushbutton switch (3) is connected in parallel to the emitter-collector path (E-K). The tap of the voltage divider lies on the base (B) of the transistor (T).
Beim ersten Sender (1), der im Regelfall dem ersten Empfänger zugeordnet ist, liegt der Tastschalter (3) zwischen der Basis (B) und dem Kollektor (K) des Schalttransistors (T) (vgl. Figur 2).In the first transmitter (1), which is generally assigned to the first receiver, the pushbutton switch (3) is located between the base (B) and the collector (K) of the switching transistor (T) (cf. FIG. 2).
Beim zweiten Sender (1), der im Regelfall dem zweiten Empfänger zugeordnet ist, liegt der Tastschalter (3) zwischen dem Emitter (E) und der Basis (B) des Transistors (T) (vgl. Figur 3).In the second transmitter (1), which is usually assigned to the second receiver, the pushbutton switch (3) lies between the emitter (E) and the base (B) of the transistor (T) (cf. FIG. 3).
Die Funktionsweise ist im wesentlichen folgende:The principle of operation is as follows:
Bei beiden Sendern (1) sind im Regelfall die Tastschalter (3) offen.The pushbuttons (3) are usually open on both transmitters (1).
Ist beim ersten Sender (1) der Tastschalter (3) offen, dann ist der Transistor (T) gesperrt, so daß über die Leitung (10) ein Signal nur an dem Adressen-Wahlanschluß (8) anliegt. Damit ist also der erste Sender (1) dem ersten Empfänger zugeordnet. Wird beim ersten Sender (1) der Tastschalter (3) geschlossen, dann wird der Transistor (T) leitend, so daß nunmehr an beiden Adressen-Wahlanschlüssen (8, 9) das Signal des Adressen-Steueranschlusses (7) anliegt. Da der Adressen-Wahlanschluß (9) vorrangig ist, ist der erste Sender (1) nun dem zweiten Empfänger zugeordnet, so daß er, solange der Tastschalter (3) geschlossen ist, bei entsprechender Betätigung einer Taste (2), die Funktionen des zweiten Empfängers steuert.If the key switch (3) is open at the first transmitter (1), then the transistor (T) is blocked, so that a signal is only present at the address selection connection (8) via the line (10). The first transmitter (1) is thus assigned to the first receiver. If the key switch (3) is closed at the first transmitter (1), then the transistor (T) becomes conductive, so that now the signal of the address control connection (7) is present at both address selection connections (8, 9). Since the address selection connection (9) is paramount, the first transmitter (1) is now assigned to the second receiver, so that, as long as the key switch (3) is closed, when a key (2) is pressed accordingly, the functions of the second one Controls the receiver.
Sobald der Tastschalter (3) wieder losgelassen wird, also öffnet, ist der erste Sender (1) wieder bereit, den ersten Empfänger zu steuern.As soon as the key switch (3) is released, i.e. opens, the first transmitter (1) is ready to control the first receiver again.
Beim zweiten Sender (1) ist bei geöffnetem Tastschalter (3) der Transistor (T) leitend, so daß das Signal des Adressen-Steueranschlusses (7) an beiden Adressen-Wahlanschlüssen (8, 9) anliegt. Da der Adressen-Wahlanschluß (9) vorrangig ist, steuert der zweite Sender (1) bei entsprechender Betätigung einer Taste (2) den zweiten Empfänger.In the second transmitter (1) the transistor (T) is conductive when the push button switch (3) is open, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is present at both address selection connections (8, 9). Since the address selection connection (9) has priority, the second transmitter (1) controls the second receiver when a key (2) is pressed accordingly.
Wird der Tastschalter (3) des zweiten Senders (1) geschlossen, dann sperrt der Transistor (T), so daß nun das Signal des Adressen-Steueranschlusses (7) nur noch an dem Adressen-Wahlanschluß (8) anliegt. Der zweite Sender (1) ist damit bereit, die Funktion des ersten Empfängers zu steuern. Nach dem Loslassen des Tastschalters (3) sind mit dem zweiten Sender (1) wieder die Funktionen des zweiten Empfängers steuerbar.If the key switch (3) of the second transmitter (1) is closed, then the transistor (T) blocks, so that the signal from the address control connection (7) is now only present at the address selection connection (8). The second transmitter (1) is thus ready to control the function of the first receiver. After releasing the key switch (3), the functions of the second receiver can be controlled again with the second transmitter (1).
Da sich der erste Sender (1) und der zweite Sender (1) nur durch die Anordnung des Spannungsteilers (3, R) unterscheiden, ist dieser als Steckeinheit vorbereitet, die entweder in der einen Polung oder der anderen Polung in den Sender einsteckbar ist.Since the first transmitter (1) and the second transmitter (1) differ only in the arrangement of the voltage divider (3, R), this is prepared as a plug-in unit that can be plugged into the transmitter either with one polarity or the other polarity.
