This invention is used as light sources in the building and is detected detector to detect an emergency situation and these points are powered by at least one power supply and detects an emergency situation by the detector while my plan is socket form and a power outage is detected by measuring the resistivity of the equivalent network from the side of the socket.

Another invention in name of, “AUTOMATIC POWER SOURCE SWITCHING DEVICE FOR LED LIGHTING”- Registration number: WO2011129471

This invention relates to an automatic power switching switch for lighting system using an LED light source. This device changes automatically from the original source to the stored battery of a rechargeable battery when power is turned off and vice versa from the stored source to the original source. Specifically, this device can be installed in a LED lamp and in the home, office, or in places requiring emergency lighting. This switching source for LED lighting includes: A power unit for turning the alternating current of 100 V or 220 V to 3 to 70 V, a conversion circuit to increase charge, a correction circuit to convert alternating current to direct current, an automatic charging circuit for the battery to be charged automatically, rechargeable battery for automatic power storage, LED lighting and a lighting module for converting electrical energy to light when a power outage occurs, the power source changes to the power source using a small rechargeable battery within 50 milliseconds. Emergency lighting can be used for about two to three hours when the electric current is connected, the power supply will automatically return to the original source. This invention can be installed on the lamps, but my plan is presented as a socket, also, in this invention, the use of emergency lighting is about two to three hours while in my plan it can be usable for six hours; in addition, the detection method in my plan, it measured equivalent resistance of the side of socket.

The first and most important consequence of power outage is the abrupt collapse of brightness, in such a way that the power outage for all compatriot’s associates silence and darkness. Nowadays, different methods are used for lighting during power outages. The most common and easiest way is to use a candle with problems such as the lack of access to candles at any time, the danger of fire and the possibility of a little useable time. There are lighting devices that use LED bulbs or ordinary bulbs and it is either a chargeable or a battery; but, since the power outage is sudden and not predetermined, it may not charge as much power as it may be or, if the power outage continues for several hours, the charge of these devices will quickly expire and it's not possible to use for a long time. The plan of the interface between the socket and the lamp, which has the ability to detect the power outage, as well as the ambient lighting, has solved the problems raised and has the potential to eradicate the problems posed worldwide.

This product will be available in the form of a socket to the consumer, in an innovative way, it can detect a power outage or fuse jumping from an outage of lamp key and immediately after power outage-provided that the lamp has already been turned on by the user- using sixty-three light-emitting diode and three battery packs, it can produce about four thousand and seven hundred lumens of brightness for about six hours. which is equivalent to two ordinary bulbs; in other words, necessary lighting is provided for a living room. This product is not throwaway and batteries are automatically recharged if urban electricity is plugged in, then after charging the batteries, the charging process is stopped to prevent batteries from charging too much.

Power outage in Iran is a major problem; in such a way that the energy shortage of the power office causes rationing of electricity power into metropolis, and almost all of the compatriots, every day, especially in the hot seasons exposed to power outage. The first and most important consequence of power outage is the abrupt collapse of brightness, in such a way that the power outage for all compatriot’s associates silence and darkness. Nowadays, different methods are used for lighting during power outages, the most common and easiest way is to use a candle, problems such as the lack of access to the candle at any time, the danger of fire and the use of a little time. Another method is to use gas-fired lighting devices so use of these devices also has a fire hazard, also, this device needs to change the wires that may not work properly whenever power outage and there is no light.

Another problem with these lighting is smoke production and unpleasant smells. There are lighting devices that use LED bulbs or ordinary bulbs, it is either a battery or a charge, but because of abruption power outage and is not predetermined, it may not have enough charge this device whenever power is stopped, or, if the power outage continues for a few hours, the charge of these devices will quickly expire and could not be used for a long time. The design of the interface between the socket and the lamp, which has the ability to detect the power outage, as well as the ambient lighting, has solved the raised problems and has the potential to eradicate the problems, which posed in the worldwide.

This product will be available in the form of a socket to the consumer, in an innovative way, it can detect a power outage or jump fuse from outage of lamp key and immediately after a power outage, of course, provided that, the lamp has already been turned on by the user-using sixty-three light-emitting diode and three battery packs, it can take about six hours, it produces four thousand and seven hundred light-years of lumens, which is equivalent to two ordinary bulbs, that is to say provides lighting for a living room. This product is not throwaway when electricity of urban is connected, batteries are charged automatically and after charging the batteries, the charging process is stopped to prevent battery overcharging.

Function of the production:

This product consists of four parts: sockets, body, electrical circuitry and optical diode and the mechanism of operation of the device is as follows: First, if it is turned on (key S1) Municipal alternating electrical system with rectifier circuit turns into direct current; otherwise, the device will remain turn off. The connection of the power is monitored continuously by the relay (K2). The device detects two headed wire to the socket, phase and null, upper edge detection circuit, mono-stable circuit with IC 555, inverter circuit and delay circuit, key off by user or power outage through the processing of resistance automatically and then the optical diode located in the circuit of the LED driver is turning on.

The detection mechanism is such that if the resistance between the phase and the null is infinite, this means that the circuit is open and the user has cut off the key, but if the resistance has a finite amount, it indicates that the key is still connected but the main power is disconnected. As soon as the power outage is resolved, the relay (k 2) returns to its original state and this mode change is detected by the falling detection circuit and it is communicated to the decision maker block or the bi-stable circuit and optical diode switches off automatically. The next step is battery charging (BT1) which starts with the diode's shutdown and continues until the batteries are full. It must be mentioned that this work is done to prevent overcharge and extend battery life, it is carried out by the battery protector circuit. Battery charge voltage has embedded in order to adjust the voltage and limit the current of the battery charge and eventually protect the battery regulator circuit.
