Description:
MODULAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Field of the Invention

The invention belongs to the field of electrical engineering. The invention can also classified into the lighting area, as well as in the loudspeaker area.

Its codes according to the International Classification of Patents are H01R 13/00, H05B 33/00 and H04R 1/00. Technical problem

The technical problem solved by the invention is how to design a modular electrical system, which has multiple applications and ability to perform in various sizes and forms, whereby the transmission of the electrical current within the system is achieved in a simple maimer, by establishing physical contact between two elements. The invention has solved the technical problem of quick and simple modular construction in various forms.

The invention has also solved the technical problem that a modular electrical system can have a large number of uses and applications. It can be used as a lamp, as a loudspeaker or as a camera.

Prior Art

From the background art, non-patented literature, the company Nanoleaf is known to produce light bulbs with LED diodes. Their light bulbs resemble the form of classic bulbs with a light-bulb power connector. Instead of a well-known, pear-like glass body of a bulb, the Nanoleaf bulbs are a geometric body of nine regular pentagons whose surface holds three LED diodes each. Unlike the solution according to the invention, these bulbs from the background art in their shape remind of old classical bulbs, and their function is the same as the function of the old bulbs.

The same company also has a product called smart light. The smart light of the

Nanoleaf Company includes a lamp in the form of triangles with LED diodes, which are arranged in one plane. A combination of lighting triangles on the wall makes a decorative light and some sort of artistic creation. These lamps differ in their design from the solution according to the invention. In addition, they are two-dimensional and have to be attached to the wall.

From non-patented literature, there is also an example of a modular lighting by designer Bruno Fosi. Its modular lighting includes elements of the shape of a parallelepiped which can have LED diodes on one of its bases. By combining connections in various ways of basic elements in the form of a parallelepiped an interesting lighting appears in the room. The only common features of Bruno Fosi's creations and the solution according to the invention is modularity and the use of LED diodes.

All of the above stated solutions from the background art apply only to the lamp. None of the solutions has the ability to be used in the same design as a loudspeaker or as a camera. Only the Olixar Company has a solution for the device, which is both a light and a loudspeaker. With this solution, the light and loudspeaker are the accompanying elements of a bluetooth, unlike the solution according to the invention, which can perform as an independent lamp or as an independent speaker.

Disclosure of Invention

The modular electrical system, according to the invention, includes a number of interconnected base devices. The base device is in the shape of an equilateral triangle. However, it is possible that the base device also takes the shape of a square, a regular pentagon or any other regular polygon. The system, according to the invention, includes a single device for power supply which suplies the system with electricity, and one or more operating devices. The number of operating devices in the modular system accoding to the design is not limited, but it is limited by the power of the transformer which is a part of a power supply device, as well as electrical conductivity of the electrical contacts. According to the invention, the modular electrical system may, apart from a power device and operating devices, also include a battery device. Two new independent modular electrical systems may be formed out of the modular electrical system consisting of a power supply device, a number of operating devices and a battery device, where one system would include a power supply device and operating devices, and the other system would include a battery device for a power supply and operating devices which the battery supplies with power.

The devices are inter-connected with magnets located at the outter edges of the devices. Depending on the number of connected devices, a modular electrical system may have, for example, a form of tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron or any other regular, irregular, closed or open geometrical body with regular polygons as its sides. The devices of the modular electrical system, according to the invention, may be in a shape of any regular polygon.

The modular electrical system may operate as a lamp when LED diodes are placed in operating devices. System may also have a wireless speaker in operating devices, so it may operate as a loudspeaker, or have a wireless camera and operate as a recording camera. Operating devices are not mutually exclusive, so various operating devices may be located in a system so the modular electrical system may operate as a lamp with a loudspeaker and a camera. In addition, the battery device with a temporary power supply function, can also be added to the modular electrical system, according to the invention.

According to the invention, the modular electrical system uses a harmless direct low- voltage current. The power source may vary. 220V alternating current from the grid can be used and connected to the power supply device via a power cable. In this version, the system in its power supply device includes a transformer, which transforms 220V alternating current into a low-voltage direct current. The required direct low-voltage current may be connected directly to the power supply device. Power supply device may include, as a source of power, a solar cell or it may harness wireless power.

Electricity transfer between base devices is carried out through a set of five electrical contacts at each edge of the device.

Interconnection of base devices within a modular electrical system is achieved by a set of two modular magnets at each edge of the device.

Detailed description of the invention

The modular electrical system 505, according to the invention, consists of devices 100, 200, 300 in the shape of an equilateral triangle, which are easily and simply connected, thus creating various forms of a modular electrical system.

The modular electrical system 505 includes one power supply device 100 and one or more operating devices 200. The modular electric system 505, according to the invention, apart from the power supply device 100 and the operating device 200 may also include the battery device 300. When modular electrical system 505, apart from the device 100, 200, includes the battery device 300, then the battery 300 is being charged. The charged battery 300 can temporarily replace the power supply device 100, and then the modular electrical system 505 consists of the battery device 300 and one or more operating devices. Devices 100, 200 and 300 connect with each other at an edge of the equilateral triangle shape, where modular magnets 35 bind them together. The transmission of the electrical current from the power supply device 100 to the operating devices 200 and the battery devices 300, as well as the transmission of the electrical current between operating devices, is accomplished through a set 5 of electrical contacts 10, 15, 20. The electrical contact 10 is the ground for all devices, whilst the contact 15 is used to power all operating devices except the operating device 205. The contact 20 is only used for powering operating devices 205, so they always have independent power source from all other devices. The battery device 300 can also be powered via contacts 15 or 20.

The design of the power supply device 100 is defined by the energy form the power supply device is connected to. The power supply device 100 may have multiple designs, including: power supply device 105 when alternating current is supplied; power supply device 145 when direct current is supplied; power supply device 155 when solar energy is used; power supply device 165 when power is harnessed wirelessly.

The power supply device 105, supplied with 220V alternating current (AC) includes upper casing 115 and lower casing 125. Circular part 120 has been designed in the upper casing 115, which morphs mto outlet 119 for fixing the light-bulb power connector 107. The outlet 119 is made of a material which does not conduct electricity. Upper casing contains a transformer 108 for transfonning the AC 220V into a harmless direct low- voltage current required for the functioning of the modular electrical system. Voltage used for the operation of the devices can be 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24V. 12V is most commonly used. The transformer is fixed to a triangular circuit printed board which is the controller 109. In addition to the controller 109, wireless modem 65 is also placed on the printed circuit board. The controller 109 channels the transformed electrical current from the transformer 108 to the distributor 25. On the underside, opposite of the light-bulb power connector 107, the power supply device 105 includes bottom cover 135, which sits on the lower casing 125 fixed by the controller 109. The upper casing 115 of the power supply device 105 from the inner bottom side in all three corners of the device 105 has an angular reinforcement 117 with a thread. The fixing screw 45 is screwed into the thread through the lower casing 125. The function of the fixing screw 45, apart from connecting the upper and the lower casing of the power supply device 105, is also to secure the position of the lower cover 135, the printed circuit board with the controller 109 and the direct current distributor 25. The upper surface of the upper casing ends with a small outlet 118. The outlet 118 of the upper casing 115 is attached to a tooth 131 of the lower casing 125. In this way, an even edge is formed along an external visible joint of the upper 115 and the lower 125 casings. The upper casing 115 includes an outlet 116, which is adjacent to the lower casing with a small gap in contact with the electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 and holds them in a fixed position. In addition, it allows for a controlled connection of the main elements of the device 105, set 5 of the electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 and the distributor 25.

The wireless modem 65 is used for wireless control of the controller 109, via a wireless controller 60 that may be a smartphone or similar. Using wireless control, power supply to the electrical contact 15 or to the electrical contact 20 can be switched off, independently of each other, making the wireless controller 60 the main controller of the entire system, and thus allowing the system to be controlled remotely from a distance.

The lower casing 125 of the device 100, 200, 300 is in the shape of a triangular section.

A thread is made in part 128 of the lower casing 125, which is parallel to the reinforcement 117 of the upper casing 115, into which the fixing screw 45 is fitted to fix the lower casing 125 to the upper casing 105. In each side of the lower casing 125 two recesses 126 are made, into which a set 30 of two modular magnets 35 of a cylindrical shape is placed. The recesses 126, as well as the modular magnets 35, are symmetrical to the axis of that side of the lower casing 125 and they are positioned in the same way on all sides of the device 100, 200 and 300. The recesses 126 fix the position of the magnets 35 in the lower casing 125 of the device 100, 200 and 300 and at the same time separates the electrical contacts 10 and 15. The magnets 35 in the set 30 of modular magnets are thus diametrically magnetized, with the north pole 40 and the south pole 41 asymmetrically positioned on each side in relation to the longitudinal axis of that side of the device. The outer edge of the lower casing 125 has a rounded end 130 that follows the shape of the magnet 35. The rounded end 130 of the lower casing 125 allows for equal and uniform connection at different angles of the lower casings 125 of the devices 100, 200 and 300 in relation to the vertical cross-section through the device. The rounded end 130 of the lower casing 125 ends with a tooth 131 which is attached to the outlet 118 of the upper casing 115. In this way, an even edge is formed along the outer visible connection of the upper 115 and the lower 125 casings.

In addition to the set 30 of modular magnets, on each side of the lower casing 125, a set 5 of modular electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 is also placed in the same way. In each set 5 of modular contacts there are five contacts, one modular contact 10 and two each of modular contacts 15 and 20. The contacts 15 and 20 are positioned symmetrically with respect to the axis of the side of lower casing 125. The modular electrical contact 10 is inbetween the magnets 35 in the recesses 126. The modular electrical contacts 15 and 20, which are on the outter side of the magnets 35, are mutually separated from by a protrusion 127 of the lower casing 125.

The modular electrical contacts 10, 15, and 20 are of such a shape that one side is rounded, sits proud from and follows the shape of the rounded part of the lower casing 130. Further to this, their geometry is reminescent of a square with rounded angles, where at the fourth angle the side 51 of the contacts 10, 15 and 20 is twice folded to form the straight part 55 for their fixing in place. Each rounded angle in the geometry of the contacts 10, 15 and 20 is flexible and the modular electrical contact operates as a spring when pressed. When two devices 100, 200, 300 are connected, modular magnets 30 provide a precise connection with respect to the axis of the side of the devices they touch along at any angle from 0° to 180° in relation to the vertical cross-section through the devices. Furthermore, this enables a precise connnection of the respective modular electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 between the two devices 100, 200 and 300, while the protrusion of the modular contacts 10, 15 and 20 in relation to the rounded part of the lower casing 130 and their mnctioning as a spring by mutual pressure, provides a continuous flow of electrical current between modular electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 from one device to another.

The contacts 10, 15, and 20 sit with one part on the lower casing 125, and the folded end 55 of the modular electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 is firmly positioned between the outlet 116 of the upper casing 115 and the distributor 25. The end 55 of the contacts 10, 15 and 20 is attached to the distributor 25.

Distributor 25 is in a triangular shape, as it follows the shape of the device 100, 200, 300. In the case that the device 100, 200, 300 is in the shape of a square, a regular pentagon or other regular polygon, the distributor 25 would be of the same shape. All contacts 10, 15 and 20 of all three sets 5 of the modular electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 are connected by soldering to the distributor 25. All electrical contacts 10, 15, and 20 at one side of the device 100, 200 and 300 are connected through the distributor 25 with the corresponding electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 on the other sides of the device 100, 200 and 300. In this way, the direct current from the controller 109 is transmitted via the distributor 25 to the contacts 10, 15 and 20 in the sides of the device 100, and by direct contact with the corresponding electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20 of the device 200 and 300 further through the distributor 25 to the other contacts 10, 15 and 20 at the other sides of this device and further through the entire system. In the lower casing 125, a tooth 129 encroaches into the electric contacts 10, 15 and 20 and thus secures the position of the electrical contacts 10, 15, 20 in the lower casing 125. In addition, the tooth 129 provides stability to the lower casing 125.

Figure 6 shows the block diagram of the electric current path and magnets in the power supply device 105 which is supplied by alternating current. From an external AC 220V source, the electric current is transmitted via the main power connector 107 to the transformer 108. The transformed direct current of 12V is distributed from the transformer 108 via the controller 109 and the distributor 25 to the electrical contacts 10, 15 and 20. The wireless controller 60, which is outside the power supply device 105, controls the controller 109 via a wireless modem 65.

The power supply device 145 supplied with system required 12V direct current is of a simpler design than the power supply device 105.
