Abstract:
Disclosed is a near-infrared meter reading device, configured to communicatively couple with an infrared communicator in an electric meter, comprising a main body, on one end of which being disposed with a data port. Also disclosed is an electric meter connected between a power grid line and a utility user's load, comprising said near-infrared reading device and a meter housing fitted with the near-infrared reading device, in which is disposed with a processor and an infrared communicator electrically connected thereto; in the meter housing a plurality of iron cylinders are set, and in the near-infrared reading device a plurality of magnetic cylinders are set accordingly, the orientations of said iron cylinders and magnetic cylinders are aligned with each other and may be attracted together. The present invention employs a central symmetry design without request of aligning the infrared emitter with a receiver of the meter for near-infrared communication, thus availing of communication in any emitting angle. The circuitry of the invention can compatibly meets any requirement of near-infrared communication in both IEC standard and ANSI standard.
Abstract:
Remote control device comprising a generator (PVU) intended to convert luminous or mechanical energy into electrical energy, a wireless emitter (RF) that can dispatch messages to a remote receiver, a first electrical energy storage element (C1) connected to the energy generator (PVU) and intended to be charged on the basis of the electrical energy generated by the generator (PVU), so as to supply the wireless emitter (RF) in a first mode of operation of the control device and a second electrical energy storage element (C2) intended to supply the wireless emitter (RF) in a second mode of operation, the control device being characterized in that the second electrical energy storage element is connected to the generator (PVU) via a parallel set-up of a first resistor (R1) and of a first diode (D1), the cathode of the first diode being linked to the positive terminal of the generator (PVU).
Abstract:
A remote controller (1) capable of power generation includes: a main body (10); an operation panel (11); operation buttons (12) provided on the operation panel (11), to be exposed to the outside of the remote controller (1) and a power generator (14) having a piezoelectric device that generates an electromotive force when deformed. The operation panel (11) can be rotated with respect to the main body (10) by an operation force applied to any of the operation buttons (12). The power generation device of the power generator (14) generates an electromotive force when deformed by the force applied from the operation panel (11) rotated by the operation force.
