Abstract

The present invention provides a wireless remote-control light adjuster comprising a remote-control module and a light adjustment device connected to at least one light bulb. A key module for keying in internal codes of the light adjustment device and used as remote-control keys is disposed in the remote-control module so that the remote-control module can learn each internal code and simultaneously generates several remote-control digital codes. The remote-control module emits out a remote-control signal having different remote-control digital codes to the light adjustment device according to the change of pressed times of the remote-control keys on the key module. The light adjustment device outputs different degrees of electricity to the light bulb according to the remote-control digital code of the received remote-control signal. The present invention has the advantage of remotely controlling the brightness of light bulbs.

Claims

1. A wireless remote-control light adjuster, comprising:

a light adjustment device connected to at least a light bulb, said light adjustment device having a wireless receiving circuit disposed therein for receiving a remote-control signal to control the operation of a brightness control module in said light adjustment device; and

a remote-control module having a key module for input of an internal code of said light adjustment device, said remote-control module being used to learn said internal code and generate a plurality of remote-control digital codes so as to emit out said remote-control signal having different remote-control digital codes according to change of pressed times of said key module.

2. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light adjustment device comprises a central processing unit connected to said wireless receiving circuit, a data storage memory, and said brightness control module, said wireless receiving circuit receiving said remote-control signal emitted by said remote-control module and letting said central processing unit discriminate said remote-control signal according to said internal code set in said data storage memory to send a control signal to said brightness control module, said brightness control module comprising a power source phase capture circuit and a power source phase control circuit, said power source phase control circuit being connected to at least one of said light bulb, a power supply circuit connected to said brightness control module being also provided.

3. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 2, wherein said central processing unit controls the output power of said brightness control module by sending the effective period of a continuous pulse wave.

4. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 2, wherein said central processing unit is further connected to a learning/setting key module.

5. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 1, wherein said remote-control module is selected among a handheld remote-control module and a telephone far-end remote-control module.

6. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 5, wherein said handheld remote-control module comprises an address encoding processor respectively connected to said key module, an RF emitting device, and a memory device, said address encoding processor being used to receive said keyed-in internal code of said key module and generate said multi-stage remote-control digital code stored in said memory device, said central processing unit sending said multi-stage remote-control digital code to said RF emitting device, which emits out a remote-control signal, a power supply device being also provided to supply the required electricity for each said component.

7. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 6, wherein said address encoding processor is connected to a buzzer.

8. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 6, wherein said address encoding processor is further connected to an LED display.

9. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 5, wherein said telephone far-end remote-control module comprises a central processor connected to said key module, an RF emitter, a storage device, and a display, said central processor being used to receive said keyed-in internal code of said key module to generate said multi-stage remote-control digital code, which is displayed on said display and stored in said storage device, a telephone automatic-answer receiving module for receiving the telephone signal of a telephone line being connected to said central processor, said central processor sending out said control signal to be emitted out by said RF emitter after processing, a power supply unit connected to said central processor being also provided.

10. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 9, wherein said central processor is connected to a voice device.

11. The wireless remote-control light adjuster as claimed in claim 9, wherein a telephone multi-frequency discrimination device is further disposed between said telephone automatic-answer receiving module and said central processor.
