Abstract

A focus pluggable interface control device includes a sensor, a lens covered on the periphery of the sensor and a mounting plug electrically connected to external lamps. Optical signals passing through the lens to be focused is transmitted to the sensor. The lens is configured to collect control information of light types transmitted to the sensor in order to increase sensitivity of the sensor to receive the control information and response speed of the control information, and also expand sensing range of the sensor so as to improve user's experience. The sensor is electrically connected to the external lamp via the mounting plug so that the focus pluggable interface control device can be conveniently replaced, disassembled or installed without needing additional wires, thereby the cost of replacing the control device can be reduced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A focus pluggable interface control device comprising:
a lens which covers a sensor; a mounting plate; a mounting plug; and a housing,
wherein the sensor collects control information which has passed through the lens,
wherein the mounting plate, by way of at least one locating member, is fixed to the sensor by jamming the sensor against the at least one locating member and thereby the sensor is also fixed to the mounting plug,
wherein the mounting plug is electrically connected to the sensor,
wherein the mounting plug is provided to mount the focus pluggable interface control device onto the external lamp and to create an electrical connection between the sensor and the external lamp so that the focus pluggable interface control device may control the external lamp,
wherein the housing is connected to the mounting plate, thereby securing a bottom portion of the lens, and the housing is provided with a first mounting hole through which the lens extends,
wherein the housing is further provided with at least one second mounting hole,
wherein a rotatable adjusting member extends through each of the at least one second mounting holes to connect with a corresponding adjusting portion provided on the sensor and the corresponding adjusting portion is formed as an adjustable resistance element,
wherein an output signal of the sensor for a given control information is adjustable by rotating the rotatable adjusting member.

2. The focus pluggable interface control device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the mounting plug is provided centrally in a bottom of the mounting plate and extends through the mounting plate,
wherein a portion of the mounting plug external to an enclosure created by the mounting plate, the lens, and the housing is used to connect the focus pluggable interface control device to the external lamp.

3. The focus pluggable interface control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a portion of the mounting plug external to an enclosure created by the mounting plate and the housing is selected from one of an RJ45 plug, a USB plug, and an earphone or headphone plug.

4. The focus pluggable interface control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, by adjusting the output signal of the sensor, the rotatable adjusting members adjust a brightness and/or a light duration of the external lamp.

5. The focus pluggable interface control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting plug is further secured to the sensor via a weld.

6. The focus pluggable interface control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first mounting hole and the at least one second mounting hole are disposed adjacent to one another.
