Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zur Steuerung einer LED-Rundumkennleuchte, bei welcher eine Anzahl von LEDs derart angeordnet ist, daß mit ihnen sowohl ein Drehlichtbetrieb als auch ein Blitzlichtbetrieb der Kennleuchte möglich ist.The The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the control a LED rotating beacon, in which a number of LEDs are arranged so that with them both a rotating light operation and a flashlight operation of the beacon is possible.
Solche
LED-Rundumkennleuchten sind bekannt, z. B. aus der
Die
Obwohl die genannten bekannten LED-Rundumkennleuchten also durchaus in der Lage sind, sowohl im Drehlichtbetrieb als auch im Blitzlichtbetrieb betrieben zu werden, werden sie in der Praxis entweder nur im Drehlichtbetrieb oder nur im Blitzlichtbetrieb betrieben, da kundenseitig, also im Regelfall von den für Polizei und Feuerwehr zuständigen Beschaffungsämtern und Dienststellen, genau vorgegeben wird, ob die Kennleuchte im Blitzlichtbetrieb oder im Drehlichtbetrieb betrieben werden soll.Even though the well-known LED Rundumkennleuchten so well in are capable of both in the rotary light operation and in flash mode To be operated, they are in practice either only in the rotary light mode or only operated in flash mode, since the customer, so in Usually from the for Police and Fire Department procurement offices and departments, is specified exactly whether the beacon in the Flash mode or to operate in the rotary light mode.
Es hat sich nun gezeigt, daß je nach Umgebungsbedingungen, wie insbesondere Helligkeit und Sichtweite, manchmal der Drehlichtbetrieb und manchmal der Blitzlichtbetrieb vorteilhaft sein können. So ist das im Blitzlichtbetrieb abgestrahlte Licht deutlich heller und kann damit insbesondere am Tage bei guten Sichtverhältnissen schon aus großer Entfernung gut erkannt werden. Dagegen ist die Rundumkennleuchte im Drehlichtbetrieb insbesondere bei Nacht und/oder bei Nebel für einen menschlichen Betrachter leichter ortbar, während bei diesen Sichtverhältnissen zwar ein Blitzlicht leicht als solches erkannt wird, dessen Position aber nur schwer vom menschlichen Betrachter geortet werden kann.It has now shown that ever according to ambient conditions, in particular brightness and visibility, sometimes the rotational light operation and sometimes the flash mode may be advantageous. Thus, the light emitted in flash mode light is much brighter and can thus especially during the day in good visibility already great Distance to be well recognized. In contrast, the rotating beacon in rotary operation, especially at night and / or fog for a human viewers more easily locatable, while in these visual conditions Although a flash light is easily recognized as such, its position but difficult to locate by the human observer.
Da die Fahrer von Einsatzfahrzeugen in der Einsatzsituation bereits unter großem Streß stehen und eine Vielzahl von Dingen zu beachten haben, ist bei den bekannten Einsatzfahrzeugen bewußt darauf verzichtet worden, dem Fahrer auch noch die Möglichkeit zu geben, selbst zwischen Drehlicht- und Blitzlichtbetrieb auszuwählen bzw. umzuschalten.There the drivers of emergency vehicles already in the operational situation under large Stress and stand a lot of things to consider is among the known ones Emergency vehicles aware it has been waived, the driver also the opportunity to choose between turning and flashlight mode switch.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zur Steuerung einer genannten LED-Rundumkennleuchte anzugeben, mittels welcher automatisch zwischen Blitzlicht- und Drehlichtbetrieb umgeschaltet werden kann.From that The invention is based on the object, a method and an arrangement for controlling said LED rotating beacon to specify by which automatically between flash and Rotary light mode can be switched.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst von einer Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Durchführungsformen sind Gegenstand der jeweiligen Unteransprüche. Der nebengeordnete Anspruch 9 betrifft einen mit einer entsprechenden Anordnung versehenen Warnbalken, der nebengeordnete Anspruch 10 ein mit einer entsprechenden Anordnung versehenes Einsatzfahrzeug.The Task is solved from an arrangement with the features of claim 1 and a Method with the features of claim 7. Advantageous embodiments and implementation forms are the subject of the respective subclaims. The sibling claim 9 relates to a warning bar provided with a corresponding arrangement, the independent claim 10 with a corresponding arrangement provided emergency vehicle.
