Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Ampelanlagen (Lichtzeichenanlagen), insbesondere solche zur Verkehrsregelung im Außenbereich.The invention relates to traffic light systems (light signal systems), in particular those for traffic regulation outdoors.
Zur Verkehrsregelung sind Ampelanlagen bekannt, die batterie- oder netz abhängig mit Energie versorgt und gesteuert werden.Traffic light systems are known for traffic control, the battery or network depending on the energy supply and control.
Die bekannten, netzabhängigen Ampelanlagen erfordern erheblichen Aufwand bei der Zuführung der nötigen Energie, sowie der teils zentral organisierten Steuersysteme.The known, network-dependent traffic light systems require considerable effort the supply of the necessary energy, as well as the partly centrally organized Control systems.
Neben den Anlagen zur Energieerzeugung und Steuerung, sind von diesen Punkten ausgehend umfangreiche Erdarbeiten erforderlich, um die Zuleitungen zu verlegen. Erfolgt die Verteilung überirdisch, so sind die Aufwendungen kaum geringer. Die Zuleitungen binden erhebliche Mengen wertvoller Stoffe.In addition to the plants for power generation and control, of these points extensive earthworks required to close the supply lines embarrassed. If the distribution is above ground, the expenses are hardly less. The feed lines bind significant amounts of valuable substances.
Über weite Zuleitungen erfolgt zudem ein erheblicher Energieverlust.There is also a considerable loss of energy via wide supply lines.
Die Wartungsaufwendungen für die gesamte Konzeption, erfordern einen weiteren, sehr hohen Faktor im Rahmen der Gesamtkosten von Ampelanlagen, die sich aus der Planung, der Installation, dem Betrieb und der Erhaltung summieren. The maintenance expenses for the entire concept require an additional, very high factor in the context of the total cost of traffic lights, which is sum up from the planning, installation, operation and maintenance.
Für batteriebetriebene Ampelanlagen sind die Planungs- und Installations kosten unerheblich, jedoch schließen die hohen Versorgungs- und Betriebskosten diese Systeme vom kontinuierlichen Einsatz aus. Solche Ampelanlagen sind deshalb zumeist mobile und für kurzfristige Einsätze vorgesehene Systeme.The planning and installation are for battery-operated traffic light systems cost insignificant, but the high supply and operating costs close these systems from continuous use. Such traffic lights are therefore mostly mobile systems intended for short-term use.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde netz- und batterieunabhängige Ampelanlagen zu entwickeln.The invention has for its object mains and battery independent Develop traffic light systems.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Ampelanlagen (Leuchtanlagen) über kurze Wege mit Solarstrom versorgt werden. Über Speichersysteme sind puffernde Energiereserven - z. B. für den Nachtbetrieb - zu bilden. Die Steuerung kann über Intervall-, Zeit- und/oder über Zeit funksteuerung erfolgen.This object is achieved in that the traffic light systems (Lighting systems) can be supplied with solar power over short distances. over Storage systems are buffering energy reserves - e.g. B. for night operation - to build. The control can be done via interval, time and / or time radio control.
Sinngemäß sind von der Erfindung alle vergleichbaren Systeme, insbesondere Leuchtanlagen/Straßenbeleuchtungen, betroffen.All comparable systems, in particular, are analogous to the invention Lighting systems / street lighting, affected.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile betreffen die Umweltentlastung ebenso wie eine außergewöhnliche Entlastung der kommunalen bzw. der Staats haushalte. Bereits in der Planungs- und Installationsphase werden erhebliche Einsparungen möglich. Direkte Energiekosten entstehen praktisch keine. Die Erhaltung und Wartung reduziert sich entsprechend. Störungen können - über Diagnosemelder - durch eine Anzahl standartisierter Module behoben werden. The advantages that can be achieved with the invention relate to environmental relief as well as an exceptional relief for the municipal or the state households. Already in the planning and installation phase are considerable Savings possible. There are practically no direct energy costs. The Conservation and maintenance are reduced accordingly. Disruptions can - about Diagnostic detectors - can be remedied by a number of standardized modules.
Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in Zeichnungen dargestellt und werden wie folgt beschrieben:Two embodiments of the invention are shown in drawings and are described as follows:
Fig. 1 zeigt im Detail in Seitenansicht ein Modell, das am Rand der Straße aufgestellt werden kann. Auf die Darstellung bekannter Ampeln ist in ent sprechender Größe ein Solarschirm 1 aufgesetzt, der neben der Energie erzeugung auch irritierende, flach einfallende Sonnenstrahlen abschirmen kann; um die Leuchtfelder der Ampeln in der vorgesehenen Folge nur dann leuchten/erkennen zu lassen, wenn dies durch die betreffende Leuchte und Schaltung bestimmt ist. Fig. 1 shows in detail a side view of a model that can be placed on the edge of the street. On the representation of known traffic lights in a corresponding size, a solar screen 1 is placed, which in addition to generating energy can also shield irritating, flatly incident sun rays; in order to only let the light fields of the traffic lights light up / be recognized in the intended sequence if this is determined by the relevant light and circuit.
Der Solarschirm speist einen Speicher, von dem die Energie abgerufen wird.The solar screen feeds a memory from which the energy is called up.
Der Solarschirm kann auch in entsprechender Höhe zylinderförmig gestaltet sein.The solar screen can also have a cylindrical shape at the appropriate height be.
Die integrierte Intervall-, Zeit- und/oder Zeitfunk-Steuerung ist nicht abgebildet.The integrated interval, time and / or radio control is not pictured.
Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen im Detail in Seiten- und Frontansicht ein Modell, das galgenartig in die Fahrbahn gerichtet ist; wobei entsprechend größere Solar schirme 2 einsetzbar sind. Fig. 2 and 3 show in detail in side and front view a model which is directed like a gallows in the road; accordingly larger solar screens 2 can be used.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten Beispiele beschränkt.The invention is not restricted to the examples shown.
