Energy-autonomous electromechanical wireless switch
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An energy-autonomous electromechanical wireless switch or radio pushbutton comprising:
- at least one rocker switch, at least one transducer element (1) for converting mechanical energy to electrical energy, at least one dead-center mechanism (6), at least one electronic system (7), which is electrically connected to the transducer element (1), for generating and emitting a wireless signal, at least one actuating panel (2), having at least one sensor (3) per actuating panel (2), and at least one mechanism (4) for deflecting the force introduced by the rocker switch onto the dead-center mechanism, wherein the rocker switch (2) is mechanically coupled to the transducer element (1) by the dead-center mechanism (6), and wherein mechanical energy introduced by the rocker switch (2) is stored in the dead-center mechanism (6) until a tipping point is reached, and, once the tipping point has been exceeded, the stored mechanical energy is transmitted to the transducer element (1), wherein the force and the speed of the excitation of the transducer element (1) which is thus achieved is determined by the dead-center mechanism (6), and wherein the dead-center mechanism (6) has an upper dead center and a lower dead center, with each of said dead centers forming a movement end point of a directed movement of the dead-center mechanism (6), and the tipping point being arranged between said dead centers, and wherein the dead-center mechanism (6) excites the transducer element (1) in the movement direction of the energy store.

Abstract
An energy-autonomous electromechanical wireless switch which has at least one transducer element for converting mechanical to electrical energy, and has at least one actuating panel for introducing the mechanical energy, and has at least one sensor for each actuating panel for detecting the switching command. At least one electronic system generates and emits a wireless signal. At least one mechanism deflects the forces introduced by the actuating panel onto the transducer element.
