Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a road lighting device.
  • GB-A-1316518 discloses an audio-visual alarm device housed within a lamp post.
  • the need to light and cover a large number of very long stretches of highways requires devices and systems which are cheap both from the point of view of installation and from the point of view of management and maintenance.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a road lighting device which is particularly suitable for lighting road areas which are particularly critical in terms of safety, such as roads, highways, highway turn-offs, parking spaces and in general wherever adequate lighting and a system for signalling any critical conditions are required.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device which combines multiple features in a modular manner, so that it can be easily adapted to different and specific uses.
  • Another object is to provide a device which is economically advantageous despite having superior features from the point of view of management and of its users.
  • the road lighting device generally designated by the reference numeral 1
  • a casing 3 which includes, in the illustrated case, two half-shells: a lower half-shell 5 and an upper half-shell 7.
  • the lower half-shell 5 accommodates a reflector 9 in which a lamp 11 is inserted; the lamp is protected by a screen or diffuser 13.
  • the lower half-shell 5 accommodates the electrical part 15, which includes the electric power supply means of the lamp and an electronic part for controlling an auxiliary signalling means.
  • the auxiliary signaling means can include an emergency signalling means 17 and a status signaling means 19, suitable to indicate, for example visually, the operating status of the device according to the invention.
  • the electronic part, together with the status signaling means 19, is capable of performing at least two functions: visual indication of the operating status of the device and interfacing for communication with a control and management system.
  • the visual indication of the operating status of the device is, as mentioned, achieved by virtue of the status signalling means 19, which is constituted for example by luminous indicators in different colors which indicate, for example, the main operating conditions: power supply active, lamp malfunction, electronic system failure.
  • the status signalling means 19 it is possible to check the operating status of the device and immediately identify any faulty component.
  • the emergency signaling means 17 is adapted to call the attention of vehicle drivers to a critical situation.
  • the emergency signalling means 17 includes, in the illustrated case, an intermittent light source which is provided with an optical system which attracts the attention of vehicle drivers without however interfering with the operation of the diffuser of the lamp for lighting the road, as shown schematically in Figure 3.
  • Activation and deactivation of the emergency signalling means 17 are controlled by the electronic part.
  • the road lighting device according to the invention is provided with an anchoring system, not shown in the figures, for various supports which are normally constituted by poles in the planned standard executions.
  • the electrical part 15 is modular and is executed so as to facilitate maintenance and allow to fully install or not install the various auxiliary signalling services.
  • the upper half-shell or cover 7 can be opened without tools.
  • the casing 3 also has aerodynamic features which reduce wind resistance both in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction regardless of the type of support used.
  • the casing 3 is constructed so as to give the device high resistance to the effects of weather, especially with regard to the penetration of foreign objects inside the body, which would cause a decrease in luminous efficiency.
  • a road lighting device having been provided which includes an auxiliary signalling system which is suitable to indicate a dangerous condition and/or a malfunction of the device.
  • the device according to the invention offers the great advantage of combining multiple functions, assigned up to now to separate devices, for example conventional lampposts, danger indicators arranged in specific points and luminous information displays or panels.
  • the device according to the invention offers auxiliary functions, such as the signalling of a danger or other critical situation, at a cost which is very close to the cost of a conventional lamppost. From the point of view of management, the device according to the invention allows maintenance workers to visually inspect the devices simply and straightforwardly, allowing not only to immediately identify which devices are defective but also to immediately identify the kind of malfunction.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
