Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention sets on-time data such as Hinode, Higurashi, Hi-sun, and dawn throughout the year, and compares the on-time data with the current time data to illuminate a load. The on-off control is performed for a year, for example, by turning on the lighting load of the factory on weekdays and turning off the lighting load on holidays such as Sundays and holidays. It is about switches.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there has been provided an annual schedule control device for performing on / off control of a load by distinguishing between holidays and weekdays over a year. However, in this conventional device, a year / month display and an hour / minute display are provided. Since the current time change switch including the year and month and the switch for the day when the load is turned on (including the year and month) are separately provided, it is inconvenient for downsizing. By the way, in recent years, the number of annual holidays is increasing,
There was a problem that it was troublesome to set the holidays without error for a year.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
Set the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second by providing only one mode switch that switches the current time, year / month / day setting, hour / minute / second setting, holiday setting, timer off time setting, timer on / off time setting mode. The current time including the switch and the date and time, or the date and time of holiday setting, etc. are reduced, the size of the display is reduced, and the number of annual holidays that are becoming more diverse and diversified can be set easily and without error. It is intended to provide a switch.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic block configuration diagram of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, data of a predetermined time in the evening such as sunset time and sunset time when twilight occurs after sunset is set throughout the year. The evening time data setting unit 1 that allows you to set, the morning time data setting unit 2 that allows you to set data at a predetermined time in the morning, such as the sunrise time and the dawn time when twilight appears before sunrise, and the current time also the month and day. The annual timekeeping unit 3 that includes the time, the lighting control unit 5 that turns on the lighting load 4 when the current time in the annual timekeeping unit 3 and the setting data in the evening time data setting unit 1 match, and the current time in the annual timekeeping unit 3 And an extinction control unit 6 for extinguishing the lighting load 4 when the set data in the morning time data setting unit 2 matches, and from 1st to 31st
Day display section consisting of 31 display elements corresponding to each day
11 and a numeral display section 12 for displaying year / month / hour / minute, current time, year / month / day setting, hour / minute / second setting, holiday setting, lighting load 4
Set the rotary switch 13 to switch the mode such as timer off time setting and timer on time setting to turn on and off at any fixed time, the setting switch 14 to set the year, month, day, hour, minute and second, and the lighting load. It is provided with a holiday setting switch 15 for holiday setting for setting the day to turn off, and a control section 7 for controlling and displaying the day display section 11 and the number display section 12 by signals from the above switches and the annual clock section 3. is there. The evening time data setting unit 1 and the morning time data setting unit 2 constitute a time data setting unit, and the lighting control unit 5 and the extinction control unit 6 constitute a drive control unit.

As described above, the evening time data setting unit 1 stores the sunset time or the sunset time, and the morning time data setting unit 2 stores the sunrise time or the dawn time throughout the year. . Here, the sunrise time is
It means the moment when the tip of the sun goes out of the horizon, and the sunset time means the moment when the tip of the sun goes down to the horizon. At this time, the illuminance is about 600 lux, which is quite bright. That is, even before and after the sunrise, the light of the sun below the horizon is scattered by the upper atmosphere of the earth and remains bright for a while, which is called twilight. In this way, even before sunrise and after sunrise,
Since there is twilight for a while, it is wasteful of energy to turn on the lighting load 4 even during the twilight, and it can be said that it is more preferable to turn on / off the lighting load 4 at nightfall time and nighttime time. Therefore, in the following description, it is assumed that the evening time data is the sunset time and the morning time data is the night time.

Evening time data setting unit 1 and morning time data setting unit 2
Can be configured by ROM, for example, 365
By storing the daylight-fall time and daylight time in the ROM as digital data, and accessing the ROM according to the month and day data of the annual timekeeping unit 3, the daytime sunset time and nighttime time can be calculated. Obtainable. At this time, the nightfall time and the nightlight time are decimal 4-digit data, but the average annual sunset time and nightlight time are stored as the reference time, and the time deviation from this reference time is stored in the ROM. By doing so, the storage capacity can be significantly reduced. That is, assuming that the reference times of the sunset time and the dawn time are Kon and Koff, respectively, and the time deviations with respect to the reference times Kon and Koff are Fon (D) and Foff (D), respectively, the time Ton at which the lighting load 4 should be turned on. And the time to turn off Toff is given by:

Ton = Fon (D) + Kon Toff = Foff (D) + Koff In the above formula, the time deviations Fon (D) and Foff (D) are functions that change according to the date data D, and their amplitude is 100 minutes in both positive and negative directions. Is less than. The time deviations Fon (D) and Foff (D) according to the date data D do not necessarily need to be stored for all 365 days, and are stored by thinning out the data every 10 to 30 days. For the thinned portion, data may be interpolated and used.

By the way, the nightfall time and the nighttime time differ depending on the region, so the data measured in Tokyo can be used in the Kanto region, but should be used as it is in geographically distant regions such as Hokkaido and Kyushu. I can't. So, Hokkaido, Ou, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki,
For each target area of Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa
Although it is possible to prepare a ROM and prevent the error due to the region by replacing the ROM, changing the product specifications according to the shipping region is extremely inconvenient for inventory management. Therefore, as shown in the following equation, the correction coefficients Aon and Aoff corresponding to each region are set to the time deviations Fon (D) and Foff, respectively.
By multiplying (D), the time To in each region
It is preferable to perform correction calculation of n and Toff.

Ton = Fon (D) × Aon + Kon Toff = Foff (D) × Aoff + Koff Here, the time deviation Fon (D) and F according to the date data D
off (D) uses data in the Kanto region, which has the largest number of consumers and is located almost in the center of all target regions.
Therefore, the correction factors Aon and Aoff for the Kanto area are 1. The correction factors Aon and Aoff are 1 or more in areas where the latitude is higher than Kanto, and the correction factors Aon and Aoff are 1 or less in areas where the latitude is lower than Kanto. The present inventors have already confirmed that the time deviations of the sunset and night times of each region can be calculated quite accurately by simply multiplying the correction coefficients Aon and Aoff in this way.
