Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display element for elevators with light-emitting diodes arranged on a printed circuit, the light of which, by means of a lens, represents important information for the passenger in the form of symbols, means being provided for directing the light-emitting diode light onto a light diffuser, which, depending on the light emitting diode, is to be represented Icon forwards to the lens.
  • a display element has become known from EP 0 524 428, in which light-emitting diodes are used instead of light bulbs to represent symbols, such as driving direction arrows.
  • Light-emitting diodes arranged in an arrow shape on a printed circuit board are immersed in an arrow-shaped lens housing into which lenses are embedded.
  • the display element is closed off by a filter plate on the display side.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is the complicated structure of the symbol to be displayed.
  • the lens housing arranged on a lens carrier and the lenses embedded therein necessitate a complex and costly production process.
  • only one symbol can be displayed with this design.
  • a push button with a cylindrical display element which has a printed circuit with circularly arranged light-emitting diodes at one end and is closed at the other end by means of a light ring element carrying a button cover.
  • the light-emitting diodes protrude into conically shaped chambers of the display element which are bevelled on the axis and which serve to guide the light to a light ring part of the light ring element.
  • the surfaces of the chamfered chambers are matted for the purpose of diffusion of the diode light.
  • a disadvantage of this display element is the complicated chamber structure inside the light ring element.
  • the production of such elements is only worthwhile for very large quantities due to cost reasons.
  • the transition of the LED light on the walls of the chamfered chambers is not optimal.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, achieves the object of avoiding the disadvantages of the known device and of creating a display element in which different symbols with incandescent illuminance can be represented with simple means.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention is essentially to be seen in the fact that, in existing devices, lightbulb-operated display elements can be replaced by light-emitting diode-operated display elements without the aesthetic presentation being impaired by different illuminance levels.
  • 1 denotes a cover plate with an opening, not shown, through which a lens 2 passes, the collar of which bears on the rear side of the cover plate 1.
  • a light diffuser 4 immersed in the rear of the lens 2 consists of a body 5 which is dependent in the form of the symbol to be represented, with an am Lens collar 3 pending flange 6. So that the light emitted by the lens 2 appears to the viewer as white as possible and without a light shadow, the light diffuser 4 is made of translucent polycarbonates with a white tint.
  • Light-emitting diodes LED1... LED15 which are arranged in the light diffuser 4 and are provided as light transmitters, are provided on a printed circuit 7 and emit light with a wavelength of 590 nm, for example.
  • the electrical circuit diagram shown in FIG. 3 shows a first group of light-emitting diodes LED1 ... LED5, a second group of light-emitting diodes LED6 ... LED10 and a third group of light-emitting diodes LED11 ... LED15, which are connected in parallel on one of the bridge branches the diodes D1 ... D4 bridge rectifiers formed.
  • the other bridge branch is connected to the connecting wires L1; L2, to which the supply voltage is applied.
  • a supply voltage of 120 V AC the first bridge A and the third bridge C are opened and the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are removed.
  • With a supply voltage of 24 V DC With a supply voltage of 24 V DC, the second bridge B and the fourth bridge D are opened.
  • the display element according to the invention is shown in flat construction in FIG. 4.
  • Light-emitting diodes LED1 ... LED15 are immersed in a light reflector 10 made of white polycarbonates or of white coated metal, which is closed off by a disk-shaped light diffuser 4 which is translucent for the symbol to be represented.
  • a correspondingly flat lens 2 closes off the display element against the cover plate 1.
  • Lens 2 can vary in size and shape depending on the application and the symbol to be displayed. Accordingly, the light emitting diodes LED1 ... LED15 are arranged distributed on the printed circuit 7.
