Abstract

In a control system, when a sensor receives a sensing signal, the sensor sends a notice signal to a preparatory starting device so that the preparatory starting device performs a starting operation. After the starting operation is finished, the preparatory starting device sends an operation command and/or operation power to a starting unit. The starting unit would not pass the operation command and/or the operation power to a receiving end until receiving a control signal.

Claims

1. A control system, comprising:

a sensor configured to receive a sensing signal and send a notice signal;

a preparatory starting device configured to receive the notice signal, perform a starting operation and send an operation command and/or an operation power;

a starting unit coupled to the preparatory starting device and configured to receive a control signal, and receive and send the operation command and/or the operation power; and

a receiving end coupled to the starting device, and configured to receive the operation command and/or the operation power and perform a receiving end operation;

wherein after the sensor receives the sensing signal, the sensor sends the notice signal to the preparatory starting device, the preparatory starting device performs the starting operation, the preparatory starting device sends the operation command and/or the operation power to the starting unit, the starting unit sends the operation command and/or the operation power to the receiving end for the receiving end to perform the receiving end operation when the starting unit receives the control signal.

2. The control system of claim 1, wherein the sensor receives the sensing signal wirelessly and/or wiredly.

3. The control system of claim 1, wherein the sensor sends the notice signal wirelessly and/or wiredly.

4. The control system of claim 1, wherein the sensor receives the control signal wirelessly and/or wiredly.

5. The control system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is an optical sensor, a touch sensor, a proximity sensor, a pressure sensor, a sound sensor, a visual recognition device, a motion sensor, a temperature sensor, a gas sensor, a liquid sensor or a fire alarm sensor.

6. The control system of claim 1, wherein the preparatory starting device is a motor, a compressor, an electrical starter device, a mechanical starter device, a capacitor power-storing device or a voltage transformer device.

7. The control system of claim 1, wherein the receiving end is an automatic door, an industrial equipment, an air-conditioning device, a home appliance device, an agriculture control device, a fishery control device, a livestock husbandry control device, a public facility or a monitor alarming device.

8. The control system of claim 1, wherein the starting unit is a voice controlled switch, a touch controlled switch or a sensor switch.

9. The control system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is switched into an operating mode and a sleep mode by turns periodically, the sensor receives the sensing signal in the operating mode, and the sensor does not receive the sensing signal in the sleep mode.

10. A method for controlling a control system, the control system comprising a sensor, a preparatory starting device, a starting unit and a receiving end, the method comprising:

the sensor sending a notice signal to the preparatory starting device when the sensor receives a sensing signal;

the preparatory starting device performing a starting operation when the preparatory starting device receives the notice signal;

the preparatory starting device sending an operation command and/or an operation power to the starting unit when the preparatory starting device finishes performing the starting operation; and

the starting unit sending the operation command and/or the operation power to the receiving end for the receiving end to perform a receiving end operation when the starting unit receives a control signal.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the starting unit not sending the operation command and/or the operation power to the receiving end so that the receiving end does not perform the receiving end operation when the starting unit does not receive the control signal.

12. A method for controlling a control system, the control system comprising a sensor, a preparatory starting device, a starting unit and a receiving end, the method comprising:

the sensor sending a notice signal to the preparatory starting device when the sensor receives a sensing signal;

the preparatory starting device performing a starting operation when the preparatory starting device receives the notice signal;

the preparatory starting device sending an operation command and/or an operation power to the starting unit when the preparatory starting device finishes performing the starting operation;

the starting unit informing the preparatory starting device to stop sending the operation command and/or the operation power to the starting unit when the starting unit does not receive a control signal after a predetermined time interval.
