Description

Kennungsleuchte für Luftfahrzeuge zur optischen Kenntlichmachung von Code-Rhythmen Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kennungsleuchte für Luftfahrzeuge, die bei Ausfall des Boden- oder Bordfunkverkehrs sichtbare Code-Rhythmen ausstrahlt, um den Betriebszustand des Flugzeugs oder etwaige Flugmanöver optisch kenntlich zu machen.Identification light for aircraft for visual identification of Code rhythms The invention relates to an identification light for aircraft that emits visible code rhythms in the event of a failure of the ground or on-board radio communication, the operational status of the aircraft or any flight maneuvers close.

Die Erfindung geht aus von'einer Rundumkennleuchte, die einen um eine Leuchtquelle rotierenden Reflektor aufweist, wobei die Lichtenergie während der Rotation in der reflektierten Richtuncy aebündelt ist.The invention is based on a rotating beacon that has a Has light source rotating reflector, the light energy during the Rotation is bundled in the reflected Richtuncy.

Mit Rundumkennleuchten können jedoch keine morseartigen Lichtzeichen ausgesandt werden, wie dies beispielsweise zur Identifizierung von Leuchttürmen geschieht.With rotating beacons, however, no Morse code-like light signals can be used be sent out, for example to identify lighthouses happens.

Um bei Ausfall des Funkverkehrs die Rundumkennleuchte auch als Nachrichtenquelle einsetzen zu können, ist die Leuchte so ausgestaltet, daß die Ausstrahlung in einem bestimmten Rhythmus unterbrochen wird, wobei die einzelnen Rhythmen zu einem Code zusammengefaßt sind, der den jeweiligen Betriebszustand oder das beabsichtigte Flugmanöver kenntlich macht. Die rhythmische Unterbrechung der Ausstrahlung wird nach der Erfindung dadurch 0, - gelöst, daß der rotierende Reflektor bei jeder Um drehung einen Taktgeber betätigt, dessen Impulse an ein Schrittschaltwerk geleitet werden, wobei die Schaltfolge des jeweiligen Code-Rhythmus der Leuchtquelle von einem Proganunspeicher gesteuert wird. Der Programmspeicher sieht sechs Schaltstellunaen für dreizehn Code-Rhythmen vor.In order to be able to use the rotating beacon as a source of information in the event of a radio communication failure, the light is designed in such a way that the transmission is interrupted in a certain rhythm, the individual rhythms being combined into a code that identifies the respective operating status or the intended flight maneuver . The rhythmic interruption of the broadcast is according to the invention by 0, - that the rotating reflector actuates a clock with each rotation order, the pulses of which are passed to a step switch, the switching sequence of the respective code rhythm of the light source is controlled by a Proganunspeicher . The program memory provides six switching positions for thirteen code rhythms.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeipiel des Programmspeichers mit sechs Schaltstellungen für dreizehn Code-Rhythmen dargestellt, wobei das jeweils gewünschte Signalbild durch einen Druckknopf (a, b, . . . n) abgerufen werden kann.In the drawing an embodiment Example of the program memory with six shifting positions for thirteen code rhythms is shown, the respectively desired image signal by a push button (a, b,... N) may be retrieved.
