Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reflektor-Leuchte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a reflector lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind Leuchtdioden mit breitem Abstrahlwinkel bekannt, die über zuge­hörige Reflektoren das von ihnen ausgesendete Licht breitflächig abstrahlen. Derartige Leuchtdioden können in einer Vielzahl in einer Fläche angeordnet werden, um ein entsprechend großes leuchtendes Feld zu bilden.Light-emitting diodes with a wide radiation angle are known which emit the light emitted by them over a wide area via associated reflectors. Such light-emitting diodes can be arranged in a large number in one area in order to form a correspondingly large illuminated field.

Die Leuchtdioden werden üblicherweise mittig in einem Reflektor-Gehäuse angeordnet, wobei das Licht über die Breite des Reflektors abgestrahlt wird. Derartige Reflektoren können aus Metall bestehen, jedoch gibt es auch Kunst­stoff-Reflektoren in runder und quadratischer Ausführung.The light-emitting diodes are usually arranged in the center of a reflector housing, the light being emitted across the width of the reflector. Such reflectors can be made of metal, but there are also plastic reflectors in round and square designs.

Wenn man eine Vielzahl von Leuchtdioden zur Erzielen einer größeren Leuchtfläche verwenden will, müssen diese in einem Reflektor-Gehäuse an­geordnet werden, wobei es notwendig ist, spezielle Gehäuse anzufertigen, wenn man Symbole, Schriften oder Zahlen insbesondere mit größeren Abmessungen, die entsprechend unterschiedlich sind, hinterleuchten will. Um eine möglichst gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung zu erzielen, wird die Reflexionsfläche des Reflek­tors mit einer Diffusorscheibe abgedeckt.If you want to use a large number of light-emitting diodes to achieve a larger luminous area, these must be arranged in a reflector housing, it being necessary to produce special housings if symbols, fonts or numbers, in particular with larger dimensions, which differ accordingly, wants to backlight. In order to achieve the most uniform possible illumination, the reflective surface of the reflector is covered with a diffuser disc.

Ein Aneinanderreihen mehrerer Reflektoren führt dazu, daß man nicht eine insgesamt leuchtende Fläche erreicht, sondern lediglich eine größere Flä­che, die sich aus einzelnen, getrennten Leuchtflächen zusammensetzt.A row of several reflectors means that one does not reach an overall luminous area, but only a larger area which is composed of individual, separate luminous areas.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Reflektor-Leuchte nach dem Oberbe­griff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, die in ihrer Größe ohne weiteres an die be­nötigten Abmessungen anpaßbar ist, ohne daß eine unterbrochene Leuchtflä­che entsteht.The object of the invention is to provide a reflector lamp according to the preamble of claim 1, the size of which can be easily adapted to the required dimensions without an interrupted illuminated area.

Diese Aufgabe wird entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1.

Bei diesen großflächig ausbildbaren Reflektor-Leuchten, die aus einer Vielzahl von in entsprechenden Gehäusen angeordneten Leuchtdioden beste­hen, wobei die Gehäuse vorderseitig die Reflexionsfläche bilden, sind die Ge­ häuse derart ausgebildet, daß die Reflexionsflächen so niedrig gehalten sind, daß das Licht, das seitlich aus den Leuchtdioden austritt, nur teilweise von den jeweiligen Reflexionsflächen reflektiert wird, während ein weiterer Teil dieses seitlich austretenden Lichts sich in den Raum über den benachbarten Reflexionsflächen ausbreitet und teilweise auf die Reflexionsflächen des um­laufenden Rahmens trifft, von wo es dann ebenfalls im wesentlichen lotrecht zur Hauptebene der strahlenden Fläche abgestrahlt wird. Dies führt zu einer homogenen Ausleuchtung, insbesondere wenn noch eine Diffusorscheibe verwendet wird, die in den Rahmen eingesetzt sein kann.In these reflector luminaires, which can be formed over a large area and consist of a large number of light-emitting diodes arranged in corresponding housings, the housings forming the reflective surface on the front side being the ge Housing designed so that the reflective surfaces are kept so low that the light that emerges laterally from the light emitting diodes is only partially reflected by the respective reflective surfaces, while another part of this laterally emerging light spreads into the room above the adjacent reflective surfaces and partially strikes the reflective surfaces of the surrounding frame, from where it is then also radiated essentially perpendicular to the main plane of the radiating surface. This leads to homogeneous illumination, especially if a diffuser disc is still used, which can be inserted into the frame.

Es werden quadratische Reflexionsflächen verwendet, deren Fläche voll von der jeweiligen Leuchtdiode ausgeleuchtet wird.Square reflection surfaces are used, the surface of which is fully illuminated by the respective light-emitting diode.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschrei­bung und den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description and the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der in den beigefügten Abbildungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the attached figures.
  • Fig. 1 shows a reflector lamp in section.
  • Fig. 2 shows in perspective a reflector lamp partially assembled.
  • 3 shows sections of a further embodiment for a housing for light-emitting diodes.

Die Reflektor-Leuchte besitzt würfelförmige Gehäuse 1 aus Kunststoff, die vorderseitig Reflexionsflächen 2 aufweisen. Die Reflexionsflächen 2 werden bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel durch eine pyramidenförmige Ausneh­mung an der Vorderseite des Gehäuses 1 gebildet, so daß vier gleiche, im we­sentlichen dreieckige Flächen entstehen, die beispielsweise durch Metallisie­ren verspiegelt werden. Mittig ist in der Reflexionsfläche 2 eine Aufnahme­öffnung 3 für eine Leuchtdiode 4 vorgesehen, die sich gestuft bis zur Boden­seite des Gehäuses 1 erstreckt, so daß eine Leuchtdiode 4 derart eingesetzt werden kann, daß ihr Sockelteil in der Aufnahmeöffnung 3 sitzt, ihr lichtab­gebender Teil entsprechend aus der Aufnahmeöffnung vorderseitig und ihre An­schlußkontakte 5 rückseitig aus dem Gehäuse 1 herausragen.The reflector lamp has cube-shaped housing 1 made of plastic, which have reflecting surfaces 2 on the front. The reflection surfaces 2 are formed in the illustrated embodiment by a pyramid-shaped recess on the front of the housing 1, so that four identical, essentially triangular surfaces are formed, which are mirrored, for example, by metallization. In the center of the reflection surface 2 there is a receiving opening 3 for a light-emitting diode 4, which extends in steps to the bottom of the housing 1, so that a light-emitting diode 4 can be used in such a way that its base part sits in the receiving opening 3, its light-emitting part accordingly the receptacle opening on the front and its connecting contacts 5 protrude from the rear of the housing 1.

Die Gehäuse 1 besitzen Zapfen 6 an zwei Seitenflächen und Zapfenaufnah­men 7 an den beiden weiteren Seitenflächen, und zwar jeweils an benachbarten Seitenflächen. Hierdurch können die Gehäuse 1 zu ein- oder mehrreihigen Blök­ken zusammengefügt werden, wobei die Abmessungen eines derartigen Blocks an den jeweiligen Verwendungszweck ohne weiteres anpaßbar ist.The housings 1 have pins 6 on two side faces and pin receptacles 7 on the two other side faces, in each case on adjacent side faces. As a result, the housing 1 can be assembled into single-row or multi-row blocks, the dimensions of such a block being readily adaptable to the particular intended use.

Die Reflexionsflächen 2 können auch als kleine Hohlspiegel ausgebildet sein. Die Leuchtdioden 4 können auch von unten in eine entsprechend aus­gebildete Aufnahmeöffnung 3 in das Gehäuse 1 einsteckbar sein, wie Figur 3 zeigt.The reflection surfaces 2 can also be designed as small concave mirrors be. The light-emitting diodes 4 can also be inserted from below into an appropriately designed receiving opening 3 in the housing 1, as shown in FIG. 3.

Der aus mehreren Gehäusen 1 gebildete Block ist von einem Rahmen 8 umge­ben, der aus vier auf Gehrung geschnittenen Rahmenleisten 9 besteht, die ge­genüber der strahlenden Fläche vorstehen und eine umlaufende hochgezogene Re­flexionsfläche 10 bilden. Der Rahmen 8 besteht ebenfalls aus Kunststoff, be­sitzt entsprechend den Zapfen 6 der Gehäuse 1 Zapfenausnehmungen 7a bzw. ent­sprechend den Zapfenausnehmungen 7 der Gehäuse 1 Zapfen 6a, über die er mit dem aus den Gehäusen 1 gebildeten Block verbunden wird, d.h., daß jeweils zwei aneinandergrenzende Rahmenleisten 9 mit Zapfen 6a und die beiden übrigen mit Zapfenaufnahmen 7a im Raster entsprechend den Zapfen 6 und Zapfenaufnahmen 7 der Gehäuse 1 versehen sind. Die Zapfen 6, 6a und Zapfenaufnahmen 7, 7a haben vorzugsweise unrunde Querschnitte, um eine verdrehsichere Verbindung zu schaffen.The block formed from a plurality of housings 1 is surrounded by a frame 8 which consists of four miter-cut frame strips 9 which protrude from the radiating surface and form a circumferential raised reflection surface 10. The frame 8 is also made of plastic, has according to the pin 6 of the housing 1 pin recesses 7a or corresponding to the pin recesses 7 of the housing 1 pin 6a, via which it is connected to the block formed from the housing 1, that is, that each two adjacent Frame strips 9 are provided with pins 6a and the other two with pin receptacles 7a in a grid corresponding to the pins 6 and pin receptacles 7 of the housing 1. The pins 6, 6a and pin receptacles 7, 7a preferably have non-circular cross sections in order to create a connection that is secure against rotation.

Die Rahmenleisten 9 sind benachbart zur Reflexionsfläche 10 mit einer umlaufenden Nut 11 zur Aufnahme einer Diffusorplatte 12 versehen.The frame strips 9 are provided adjacent to the reflection surface 10 with a circumferential groove 11 for receiving a diffuser plate 12.

Die Reflexionsflächen 2 erstrecken sich in einem relativ flachen Winkel, z.B. unter etwa 45°, in bezug zur Grundfläche der Gehäuse 1 von der Aufnahme­öffnung 3 nach außen, während die Reflexionsfläche 10 der Rahmenleisten 9 in einem wesentlich steileren Winkel, z.B. etwa 60°, zur Grundfläche der Gehäuse 1 angeordnet ist, wobei die Reflexionsfläche 10 der jeweiligen Rahmenleiste die Reflexionsflächen 2 der benachbarten Gehäuse 1 fortsetzt.The reflecting surfaces 2 extend at a relatively flat angle, e.g. at about 45 ° with respect to the base of the housing 1 from the receiving opening 3 to the outside, while the reflection surface 10 of the frame strips 9 at a much steeper angle, e.g. about 60 ° to the base surface of the housing 1, the reflection surface 10 of the respective frame strip continuing the reflection surfaces 2 of the adjacent housing 1.

Seitlich von den Leuchtdioden 4 abgestrahltes Licht trifft zum Teil auf die Reflexionsflächen 2 des zugehörigen Gehäuses 1, während ein weiterer Teil in den Raum über den benachbarten Gehäusen hineinstrahlt bzw. auf die Refle­xionsflächen 10 fällt und von dort im wesentlichen lotrecht zur Grundfläche der Gehäuse 1 abgestrahlt wird. Letzteres führt auch im Randbereich zu einer gebündelten Lichtabstrahlung, so daß die Diffusorplatte 12 homogen ausge­leuchtet wird.Light emitted laterally by the light-emitting diodes 4 partially strikes the reflection surfaces 2 of the associated housing 1, while a further part radiates into the space above the neighboring housings or falls on the reflection surfaces 10 and radiates from there essentially perpendicular to the base surface of the housing 1 becomes. The latter also leads to bundled light radiation in the edge region, so that the diffuser plate 12 is illuminated homogeneously.

Die Reflektor-Leuchte wird hergestellt, indem zunächst aus den Gehäusen 1 Reihen gebildet werden und durch Zusammenfügen dieser Reihen ein entspre­chender Block gebildet wird, wonach drei entsprechend lange Rahmenleisten 9 seitlich auf den Block gesteckt werden, wonach die Diffusorplatte 12 in die Nut 11 eingesetzt und anschließend die vierte Rahmenleiste 9 aufgesteckt wird. Die Anschlußkontakte 5 der in die Aufnahmeöffnungen 3 eingesteckten Leucht­dioden 4 sind in einem Raster derart angeordnet, daß ein leichtes Aufsetzen der Reflektor-Leuchte auf eine entsprechend vorbereitete Leiterkarte 13 er­möglicht wird. Die Gehäuse 1 sind zweckmäßigerweise bodenseitig mit Abstands­haltern 14 versehen, so daß zwischen der Reflektor-Leuchte und der Leiterkarte 13 eine Entgasungszone gebildet wird.The reflector lamp is produced by first forming rows from the housings and forming a corresponding block by joining these rows, after which three correspondingly long frame strips 9 are inserted laterally onto the block, after which the diffuser plate 12 is inserted into the groove 11 and then the fourth frame bar 9 is plugged on. The connection contacts 5 of the light-emitting diodes 4 inserted into the receiving openings 3 are arranged in a grid in such a way that they are easy to put on the reflector lamp is made possible on a correspondingly prepared circuit board 13. The housings 1 are expediently provided on the bottom with spacers 14, so that a degassing zone is formed between the reflector lamp and the printed circuit board 13.

Eine derartige Reflektor-Leuchte ist insbesondere für den Frontplatten­einbau geeignet, zu welchem Zweck eine umlaufende Ausnehmung 15 am Rahmen 8 vorgesehen sein kann, die den Rand einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung einer Frontplatte 16 aufnimmt, so daß die Reflektor-Leuchte bündig mit der Front­platte 16 durch Aufsetzen von dieser von außen oder durch Einsetzen der Re­flektor-Leuchte von hinten montiert werden kann.Such a reflector lamp is particularly suitable for front panel installation, for which purpose a circumferential recess 15 can be provided on the frame 8, which receives the edge of a corresponding recess in a front plate 16, so that the reflector lamp is flush with the front plate 16 by fitting can be mounted from the outside or by inserting the reflector light from behind.

Die Einzelelemente bilden ein Baukastensystem aus einheitlichen Bauele­menten für beliebige Formen und Größen von rechteckigen Reflektor-Leuch­ten.The individual elements form a modular system of uniform components for any shapes and sizes of rectangular reflector lights.
