Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leuchtmittel, insbesondere Lampe, insbesondere für eine Signalleuchte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lamp, in particular a lamp, in particular for a signal lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Herkömmliche Leuchtmittel haben einen Sockel und einen daran angeordneten Glaskolben, in dem beispielsweise ein Wolframdraht in einer Edelgasatmosphäre unter Strom gesetzt wird und durch entsprechende thermische Effekte elektromagnetische Wellen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich, d.h. Licht, abstrahlt. Derartige Leuchtmittel sind jedoch teuer, aufwendig und umweltbelastend in der Herstellung und haben eine nicht zufriedenstellende kurze Lebensdauer. Ferner weisen sie einen schlechten Wirkungsgrad auf.Conventional lamps have a base and one arranged on it Glass bulb, in which, for example, a tungsten wire in an inert gas atmosphere is energized and electromagnetic due to appropriate thermal effects Waves in the visible spectral range, i.e. Light that emits. such However, lamps are expensive, complex and polluting to manufacture and have an unsatisfactory short lifespan. Furthermore point they have poor efficiency.

Als Verbesserung wurden bisher Gasentladungslampen mit entsprechenden Sockeln vorgeschlagen. Diese benötigen jedoch eine hohe Startspannung und ein entsprechendes Steuersignal zum Aufrechterhalten der lichterzeugenden Gasentladung. Femer sind Leuchtstoffe erforderlich, da die direkt von der Gasentladung erzeugten elektromagnetischen Wellen in der Regel nicht im sichtbaren Spektralbereich sind. Zusätzlich benötigen derartige Lampen einen Glaskolben, in dem die Gasentladung abläuft, sowie eine in den Sockeln enthaltene Steuerelektronik, was einen entsprechend großen Bauraum erfordert. Ferner benötigt die Lampe eine lange Zeit, bis die Gasentladung eine volle Nennlichtstärke erreicht. Up to now, gas discharge lamps with corresponding have been an improvement Pedestals suggested. However, these require a high starting voltage and a corresponding control signal for maintaining the light-generating gas discharge. Fluorescent materials are also required because they are directly from the gas discharge generated electromagnetic waves usually not in the visible Are spectral range. In addition, such lamps require a glass bulb, in which the gas discharge takes place, as well as control electronics contained in the bases, which requires a correspondingly large amount of space. Furthermore, the Lamp for a long time until the gas discharge reaches a full nominal light intensity.

Aufgrund aller vorgenannter Nachteilen sind derartige gesockelte Gasentladungslampen beispielsweise nicht für Signalleuchten geeignet.Because of all of the above-mentioned disadvantages, these are gas-discharge lamps with a base for example not suitable for signal lights.

Durch die DE-U-94 17 300 ist eine Signalleuchte mit einem Leuchtmittel mit einem Sockel und einem daran angeordneten Leuchtkörper bekannt, wobei der Leuchtkörper eine Leiterplatte mit einer Mehrzahl von daran angeordneten Leuchtdioden umfasst, und die Leiterplatte einen Fuß aufweist, wobei sich der Fuß über eine vorbestimmte Strecke in den Sockel hinein erstreckt, und wobei die Leuchtdioden an der Leiterplatte angeordnet sind, derart, dass diese bezüglich der Leiterplatte in verschiedene Richtungen elektromagnetische Wellen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich abstrahlen.DE-U-94 17 300 is a signal lamp with a lamp with a Known base and a lamp arranged thereon, the Luminous body a circuit board with a plurality of arranged thereon Includes light emitting diodes, and the circuit board has a foot, the Foot extends a predetermined distance into the base, and wherein the Light-emitting diodes are arranged on the circuit board in such a way that they relate to one another the circuit board in different directions electromagnetic waves in the visible Radiate spectral range.

Neben der Verwendung von zwei Leuchtdioden mit entgegenläufigen Abstrahlrichtungen ist auch die Verwendung von drei Leuchtdioden vorgesehen, wobei die drei Leuchtdioden in etwa kreuzförmig mit drei Abstrahlrichtungen in einer Ebene liegend angeordnet sind. Die Leuchtdioden sind liegend an der Leiterplatte angeordnet, wobei keine senkrecht zu den jeweils anderen Leuchtdioden stehende Leuchtdioden vorgesehen sind, so dass eine Rundumleuchtwirkung nicht erreichbar ist. Hinzukommt, dass der Lampensockel in einer im Leuchtkörper ausgebildeten Lampenfassung mit einer Bajonetthalterung auswechselbar ausgelegt ist.In addition to the use of two LEDs with opposite directions of radiation the use of three light-emitting diodes is also provided, whereby the three LEDs are roughly cruciform with three directions of radiation in one Are arranged horizontally. The LEDs are lying on the circuit board arranged, with no perpendicular to the other light emitting diodes Light-emitting diodes are provided so that an all-round lighting effect cannot be achieved is. Added to this is the fact that the lamp base is formed in a lamp body Lamp holder with a bayonet holder designed to be exchangeable is.

Durch die DE-A- 39 16 875 ist eine Mehrkammersignalleuchte bekannt, die aus einem nach vom offenen Gehäuse und einer eingesetzten Platine und darauf angeordneten Lichtquellen, sowie aus einer von den Lichtquellen gesetzten optischen Anordnung und einer in das Gehäuse nach vom abschließenden Lichtscheibe besteht, wobei Leuchtdioden eingesetzt werden, die mit Kondensorlinsen ausgerüstet worden sind, welche jeweils vor den das Licht aussendenden Flächen angeordnet sind.From DE-A-39 16 875 a multi-chamber signal lamp is known which one after from the open housing and an inserted circuit board and arranged on it Light sources, as well as from an optical set by the light sources Arrangement and one in the housing from the final lens exists, whereby light emitting diodes are used with condenser lenses have been equipped, each in front of those emitting the light Surfaces are arranged.

Die DE-U- 93 13 403 beschreibt eine Leuchte, insbesondere für den Einsatz in optischen Signaleinrichtungen, die aus einem sich von einem genormten Schraubsockel in einem konischen Mittelteil rotationssymmetrisch zur Sockelachse, sich im wesentlichen konisch erweiternden Gehäuse besteht, in welchem senkrecht zur Sockelachse die das Feld von Leuchtdioden oder Leuchtdiodenchips tragende Platine angeordnet ist, und bei der das Gehäuse auf der Sichtseite mittels einer Streuscheibe lichtdurchlässig verschlossen ist.DE-U-93 13 403 describes a lamp, in particular for use in optical signaling devices that differ from a standardized one Screw base in a conical central part rotationally symmetrical to the base axis, there is essentially a conically widening housing in which perpendicular to the base axis that the field of light emitting diodes or light emitting diode chips supporting board is arranged, and in which the housing on the visible side is closed translucently by means of a lens.

Nach der EP-A- 0 108 368 ist eine optische Warn- oder Anzeigeeinrichtung mit Leuchtdioden bekannt, die aus einer kreis- oder vieleckförmigen Grundplatte besteht, deren Rand und Zentrum mit Leuchtdioden unterschiedlicher Farbe bestückt ist und bei der ein gemeinsamer Gießharzkörper die Leuchtdioden umhüllt, so daß dieser die Grundplatte sowie einen Gewindeeinsatz zum Befestigen der Einrichtung bildet. Bei dieser Einrichtung sind die Leuchtdioden am Rande einer Kreis- oder Vieleckplatte angeordnet und von einer Schutzkappe umgeben.According to EP-A-0 108 368, an optical warning or display device is included Light-emitting diodes known, which consists of a circular or polygonal base plate, the edge and center of which are equipped with light-emitting diodes of different colors and in which a common cast resin body envelops the light-emitting diodes, so that the base plate and a threaded insert for fastening of the establishment. With this device, the LEDs are on the edge arranged on a circular or polygonal plate and surrounded by a protective cap.

Die DE-U- 297 12 229 beschreibt einen Beleuchtungskörper für Lichtsignalanlagen, der aus einer Vielzahl von Leuchtdioden besteht, die über elektrische Leitungen über einen im Lampengehäuse angeordneten Gleichrichter und einen Transformator mit dem Standardanschlußadapter elektrisch leitend verbunden sind. Die Leuchtdioden sind dabei auf einer ebenen oder konvex gewölbten Stirnfläche des Lampengehäuses in gleichmäßiger Verteilung angeordnet, wobei die zwischen ihnen und der Gehäusewand befindlichen Hohlräume mit einem wärmeresistenten Kunstharz ausgefüllt sind. Hierbei kann das Lampengehäuse je nach Anwendungsbereich eine völlig unterschiedliche Form, z.B. eine elliptische Form, eine Bimenform, Kegelform oder Kegelstumpfform aufweisen, wobei dieses auch als eine mehrfach abgesetzte, kreisrylinderische Form ausgebildet sein kann.DE-U-297 12 229 describes a lighting fixture for light signal systems, which consists of a large number of light-emitting diodes which are connected via electrical Lines via a rectifier arranged in the lamp housing and one Transformer with the standard connection adapter electrically connected are. The LEDs are on a flat or convex surface End face of the lamp housing arranged in a uniform distribution, wherein the cavities between them and the housing wall with a heat-resistant synthetic resin are filled. Here, the lamp housing can each a completely different shape depending on the application, e.g. an elliptical Form, a pumice shape, cone shape or truncated cone shape, this also be designed as a multiple, circular cylindrical shape can.

Die DE-A- 34 30 540 beschreibt einen Leuchteinsatz, der aus einem Gehäuse besteht, wobei in dem Gehäuse eine Leuchtplatine angeordnet ist, auf der auf der einen Seite Leuchtteile angeordnet sind und auf der anderen Seite zwei Elektroleiter angeschlossen sind, wobei die Leuchtptatine, die Leuchtteile und die Elektroleiter vollständig in einem isolierenden Gießharz im Gehäuse vergossen sind.DE-A-34 30 540 describes a luminaire insert which consists of a housing there is, in the housing a light board is arranged on the on one side there are lighting parts and on the other side two Electrical conductors are connected, with the light circuit board, the light parts and the The conductor is completely encapsulated in an insulating resin in the housing are.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein verbessertes Leuchtmittel der obengenannten Art insbesondere für eine verbesserte Signalleuchte zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche die obengenannten Nachteile beseitigen. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved lamp above type in particular for an improved signal light available to provide, which eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Leuchtmittel der o.g. Art mit den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmalen gelöst.This task is performed by a lamp from the above. Kind with those characterized in claim 1 Features resolved.

Dazu ist es bei einem Leuchtmittel der o.g. Art erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß der Leuchtkörper eine Leiterplatte mit daran angeordneten Leuchtdioden umfaßt, wobei für eine Rundumleuchtwirkung die Leuchtdioden stehend und liegend an der Leiterplatte angeordnet sind, derart, dass diese bezüglich der Leiterplatte in wenigstens vier verschiedene Richtungen elektromagnetische Wellen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich abstrahlen, wobei die Abstrahlrichtungen der Leuchtdioden senkrecht zueinanderstehen und in einer Ebene oder in verschiedenen Ebenen liegen und wobei für jede Abstrahlrichtung eine oder wenigstens zwei Leuchtdioden vorgesehen sind.For this, it is a lamp of the above. Provided according to the invention, that the luminous body is a printed circuit board with light-emitting diodes arranged thereon comprises, for an all-round lighting effect, the LEDs standing and lying are arranged on the circuit board in such a way that they are in relation to the circuit board electromagnetic waves in at least four different directions emit visible spectral range, the direction of radiation of the light emitting diodes stand perpendicular to each other and in one plane or in different Layers lie and one or at least two for each radiation direction LEDs are provided.

Eine Rundumleuchtwirkung wird dadurch erzielt, daß mehrere Leuchtdioden derart an der Leiterplatte angeordnet sind, daß diese bezüglich der Leiterplatte in wenigstens vier verschiedene Richtungen elektromagnetische Wellen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich abstrahlen. Dies simuliert in besonders vorteilhafter Weise ein Leuchtmittel mit rundum abstrahlendem Glaskolben.An all-round lighting effect is achieved in that several light emitting diodes are arranged on the circuit board so that they are in relation to the circuit board at least four different directions of electromagnetic waves in the visible Radiate spectral range. This simulates in a particularly advantageous manner a lamp with an all-round radiating glass bulb.

Dies hat den Vorteil, daß herkömmliche Leuchtmittel mit beispielsweise Glaskolben als Leuchtkörper durch Leuchtmittel mit wesentlich höherer Lebensdauer, niedrigeren Herstellungskosten bei hohen Stückzahlen, besserem Wirkungsgrad, d.h. größer Leuchtkraft bei geringerem Energieverbrauch, sowie ggf. besserer Signalwirkung ersetzt werden können.This has the advantage that conventional lamps with, for example, glass bulbs as a luminous element by means of lamps with a significantly longer service life, lower manufacturing costs with large quantities, better efficiency, i.e. greater luminosity with lower energy consumption, and possibly better Signal effect can be replaced.

Vorzugsweise Weitergestaltungen und Verwendungen des Leuchtmittels sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 10 beschrieben.Further developments and uses of the illuminant are preferred in claims 2 to 10 described.

Eine universelle Anwendungsmöglichkeit des Leuchtmittels bei unterschiedlichsten Geräten, welche bisher Glaskolbenleuchtmittel verwenden, ohne Umbau des Gerätes selbst erzielt man dadurch, daß der Sockel ein Standardsockel, insbesondere für eine Glühbirnenfassung, beispielsweise vom Typ BA9s, BA15d, E14, E27, ist. A universal application possibility of the illuminant with different Devices that previously use glass bulb illuminants without converting the The device itself is achieved by making the base a standard base, in particular for a bulb holder, for example of the type BA9s, BA15d, E14, E27, is.

Ein Einsatz in Signalleuchten mit entsprechenden signalartigen Lichtzeichen, wie beispielsweise Blinken, realisiert man dadurch auf einfache Weise, daß die Leiterplatte einen elektronischen Schaltkreis, insbesondere wenigstens einen integrierten Schaltkreis und/oder wenigstens ein SMD-Bauteil, zum Ansteuern der Leuchtdioden aufweist. Dies vereinfacht zusätzlich in vorteilhafter Weise herkömmliche Signalleuchten, da diese selbst keine Steuerelektronik oder nur eine sehr triviale, wie Ein-/Ausschalter, benötigen, wodurch diese kostengünstig herstellbar sind.Use in signal lights with corresponding signal-like light signals, such as for example, blinking, is realized in a simple way that the circuit board an electronic circuit, in particular at least one integrated Circuit and / or at least one SMD component to control the Has LEDs. This also advantageously simplifies conventional methods Signal lights, since these themselves have no control electronics or only one very trivial, such as on / off switches, which makes them inexpensive to manufacture are.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Leuchtdiode, je nach Einsatzzweck und Einsatzumgebung, eine weiße bzw. farblose und/oder farbige LED.The light-emitting diode is expediently, depending on the intended use and environment a white or colorless and / or colored LED.

Eine einfache und betriebssicher Kontaktierung zwischen Leiterplatte und Sockel erzielt man dadurch, daß die Leiterplatte T-förmig mit einem Fuß und einem Querbalken ausgebildet ist, wobei sich der Fuß über eine vorbestimmte Strecke in den Sockel hinein erstreckt.A simple and reliable contact between the circuit board and base is achieved in that the circuit board is T-shaped with one foot and one Crossbar is formed, with the foot over a predetermined distance extends into the base.

Einen kostengünstigen und einfachen Aufbau eines erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtmittels erzielt man dadurch, daß die Leiterplatte eine Standardleiterplatte beispielsweise vom Typ FR4 ist. An inexpensive and simple construction of an illuminant according to the invention is achieved by making the circuit board a standard circuit board, for example is of type FR4.

Zweckmäßigerweise weist die wenigstens eine Leuchtdiode eine Betriebsspannung oder einen Betriebsspannungsbereich im Spannungsbereich von 6 V bis 230 V, insbesondere 12 V oder 24 V, auf.The at least one light-emitting diode expediently has an operating voltage or an operating voltage range in the voltage range from 6 V to 230 V, in particular 12 V or 24 V.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Sockel einen Bajonett- oder Schraubverschluß zum Verbinden mit einer entsprechenden Leuchtmittelfassung auf.In a preferred embodiment, the base has a bayonet or Screw cap for connecting to a corresponding lamp holder on.

Bei einer Signalleuchte der o.g. Art ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß wenigstens eines der Leuchtmittel gemäß dem voranstehend beschriebenen, erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtmittel ausgebildet ist.With a signal lamp of the above Art is provided according to the invention that at least one of the lamps according to the invention described above Illuminant is formed.
