Description
Herkömmliche Fahrradscheinwerfer bestehen aus einem Reflektor und einer kleinen Glühbirne. Diese ist mit einem Dynamo mit Hilfe von einer Litze oder einem Draht elektrisch verbunden. Der Schalter für das Licht entfällt. Sobald das Dynamo aktiviert ist, leuchtet der Scheinwerfer. Diese Art von Beleuchtung hat sich bis jetzt sehr gut bewährt. Die Glühbirnen sind immer besser geworden: heller und langlebiger. Trotzdem reicht manchmal die Leuchtkraft und die Helligkeit der Glühbirnen (egal welche Ausführung) oder der Halogen-Scheinwerfer nicht aus, um die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Dadurch, dass es im Strassenverkehr immer mehr Fahrzeuge mit leuchtstarken Xenon-Scheinwerfern gibt, werden die Fahrradscheinwerfer immer unauffälliger. Ein heller Fahrrad-Scheinwerfer, der mit der Helligkeit eines Xenon-Scheinwerfers vergleichbar ist, könnte viel besser von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer wahrgenommen werden als ein Halogen-Strahler oder eine herkömmliche Glühbirne.Conventional bicycle headlights consist of a reflector and a small light bulb. This is electrically connected to a dynamo using a strand or wire. There is no switch for the light. As soon as the dynamo is activated, the headlight lights up. This type of lighting has proven to be very effective up to now. Light bulbs have become better and better: brighter and more durable. Nevertheless, sometimes the luminosity and brightness of the light bulbs (regardless of the model) or the halogen headlights are not enough to attract the attention of other road users. As there are more and more vehicles on the road with bright xenon headlights, bicycle headlights are becoming less and less conspicuous. A bright bicycle headlight that is comparable to the brightness of a xenon headlight could be much more easily noticed by other road users than a halogen spotlight or a conventional light bulb.
Es gibt heutzutage eine interessante Variante der Frontscheinwerfer für das Fahrrad: Sie besteht aus einer herkömmliche Glühbirne und einem Zusatzscheinwerfer mit LED, der ziemlich schwach leuchtet. Dieser Zusatzscheinwerfer ist nicht stark genug für eine Fahrbahn-Beleuchtung aber als Standlicht gut geeignet.Nowadays, there is an interesting variant of the headlight for bicycles: It consists of a conventional light bulb and an additional headlight with LED, which shines quite weakly. This additional headlight is not strong enough to illuminate the road but is well suited as a parking light.
Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 38 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde einen Fahrradcomputer zu schaffen, der eine Beleuchtung aufweist, die extrem hell (vergleichbar mit einem Xenon-Scheinwerfer) und intensiv leuchtet (auch bei niedrigere Strom.The invention specified in claims 1 to 38 is based on the problem of creating a bicycle computer which has lighting which is extremely bright (comparable to a xenon headlight) and shines intensively (even at lower power).
Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 38 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.
Vorteile der Erfindung sind:This problem is solved by the features set out in claims 1 to 38.
Advantages of the invention are:
- der Scheinwerfer ist mit dem Fahrrad-Computer integriert,- the headlight is integrated with the bike computer,
- dieser Scheinwerfer leuchtet viel heller als die herkömmliche und dadurch ist er besser von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer wahrzunehmen,- this headlight shines much brighter than the conventional one and is therefore better seen by other road users,
- sehr lange Lebensdauer,- very long service life,
- geringer Stromverbrauch,- low energy consumption,
- erschütterungs-unempfindlich,- shock-resistant,
- bessere Fahrbahn-Beleuchtung,- better road lighting,
- erhöhte Sicherheit durch extreme Helligkeit,- increased safety due to extreme brightness,
- erhöhte Sicherheit durch die integrierte Lichthupe, etc.- increased safety through the integrated headlight flasher, etc.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der Fig. 1 bis 6 erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. They show:
Fig. 1 einen Fahrrad-Computer mit Facetten-Artigen-Anordnung der Leuchtdioden,Fig. 1 a bicycle computer with facet-like arrangement of the LEDs,
Fig. 2 eine Variante, bei der jedes LED einen kleinen Reflektor aufweist, Fig. 3 die kuppenförmige Verformungen der Scheibe, die wie Linsen wirken,Fig. 2 a variant in which each LED has a small reflector, Fig. 3 the dome-shaped deformations of the disc, which act like lenses,
Fig. 4 die halbzylindrische Verformungen, die wie eine zylindrische Linse wirken,Fig. 4 the semi-cylindrical deformations that act like a cylindrical lens,
Fig. 5 die facettenförmige Blende,Fig. 5 the facet-shaped aperture,
Fig. 6 die Leisten-Variante.Fig. 6 the strip variant.
In den Figuren ist der neuartige Fahrrad-Computer 1 mit Scheinwerfer dargestellt. Dadurch, dass heutige weisse LED-s nicht so intensiv leuchtend sind, muss man mehrere davon in eine Gruppe anschliessen um den Lichtfaktor zu erhöhen. Wenn nur eine weisse Leuchtdiode 2 verwendet würde, dann reicht sie nicht aus um die Strasse zu beleuchten.The figures show the new bicycle computer 1 with headlight. Because today's white LEDs are not as bright, several of them must be connected in a group to increase the light factor. If only one white LED 2 were used, it would not be enough to illuminate the road.
Die besten Ergebnisse werden mit 12 bis 36 oder mehr LED-s erzielt. Sie sind in einer Gruppe elektrisch parallel oder in Reihe geschaltet und je nach Spannungshöhe angeschlossen. Der Lichtstrahl der weissen LED-s ist nicht präzise gebündelt, deswegen soll die Strahlrichtung parallel sein. Mehrere kleinere Reflektoren 3 (z.B. sog. LED-Reflektoren) können behilflich sein. Die Schutzscheibe 4 ist mit kleinen kuppenförmigen Verformungen 5 ausgestattet, die genau vor jedem LED in StrahlrichtungThe best results are achieved with 12 to 36 or more LEDs. They are electrically connected in parallel or in series in a group and connected depending on the voltage level. The light beam of the white LEDs is not precisely bundled, so the beam direction should be parallel. Several smaller reflectors 3 (e.g. so-called LED reflectors) can be helpful. The protective screen 4 is equipped with small dome-shaped deformations 5, which are located exactly in front of each LED in the beam direction.

platziert sind. Sie wirken wie eine Zusatzlinse und bündeln somit die Lichtstrahlen in eine bestimmte Richtung. Diese Verformung kann auch zylindrisch geformt sein. Die zylindrische Verformung 6 eignet sich sehr gut für die langen Reihen der LED-s.are placed. They act like an additional lens and thus focus the light rays in a certain direction. This deformation can also be cylindrical. The cylindrical deformation 6 is very suitable for the long rows of LEDs.
Die facettenförmige Variante, ist ähnlich wie der Bienestock aufgebaut. In eine facettenförmige Blende 7 sind die LED-s angebracht. Vor jedem LED ist eine kleine linsenartige Verformung der Abdeckscheibe angebracht. Eine zylindrische Verformung der Abdeckscheibe kann sehr gut für eine ganze LED-Reihe geeignet sein. Die Facetten verhindern das die Lichtstrahlen unkontrolliert verstreut werden. Der Scheinwerfer ist extrem flach.The facet-shaped variant is constructed in a similar way to the beehive. The LEDs are mounted in a facet-shaped aperture 7. A small lens-like deformation of the cover plate is mounted in front of each LED. A cylindrical deformation of the cover plate can be very suitable for an entire row of LEDs. The facets prevent the light rays from being scattered uncontrollably. The spotlight is extremely flat.
Die Leisten-Variante besteht aus mindestens einer Reihe von LED-s in der 12 bis 64 Stück angebracht sind. Optimal ist jedoch eine Anzahl von 20 bis 32 Stück. Die Leiste 8 ist Bestandteil des Fahrradcomputers und kann senkrecht oder wagerecht auf den Lenkrad 14 angebracht werden. Die Befestigung erfolgt zusätzlich mittels einem oder zwei verstellbaren Bändern 9. Diese Variante kann direkt mit dem Dynamo 10 verbunden werden oder von einem Akku 12 des Fahrrad-Computers versorgt werden.The bar variant consists of at least one row of LEDs in which 12 to 64 are mounted. However, a number of 20 to 32 is optimal. The bar 8 is part of the bicycle computer and can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the handlebar 14. It is also attached using one or two adjustable straps 9. This variant can be connected directly to the dynamo 10 or powered by a battery 12 of the bicycle computer.
Die Lichthupenfunktion besteht aus einem Kondensator 11 mit hoher Kapazität, einem Akku oder anderen Energie-Quellen und einem Schalter 13, der den Kondensator und die Energie-Quelle wahlweise parallel oder in Reihe schalten kann. Beim parallel Schalten wird der Kondensator aufgeladen. Der Schalter ist ein Taster und schaltet beim Drücken den Kondensator, die Energie Quelle und die LED-s in Reihe ein. Im losgelassenen Zustand schaltet er den Kondensator parallel mit der Energie-Quelle ein. Auch die LED-s werden gleichzeitig von der Stromversorgung getrennt und ausgeschaltet.The headlight flasher function consists of a high-capacity capacitor 11, a battery or other energy source and a switch 13 that can connect the capacitor and the energy source either in parallel or in series. When connected in parallel, the capacitor is charged. The switch is a button and when pressed, it switches the capacitor, the energy source and the LEDs on in series. When released, it switches the capacitor on in parallel with the energy source. The LEDs are also disconnected from the power supply and switched off at the same time.
