Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighting unit.
  • Luminaire units of the type under consideration here are particularly used for marking road edges and are also known as "illuminated curb reflectors".
  • a possible use such lighting units is the use in tunnels or Underpasses as so-called illuminated curb or curb reflectors, in particular where there are restricted daytime conditions Lighting conditions can be expected to actively display the edge of the road.
  • the invention is based on the object, a lighting unit to provide the type mentioned above, which not only has a simple and reliable structure, but also the withstands considerable stresses on the edge of roadways.
  • Lighting unit are the subject of the subclaims.
  • the light-emitting diodes can one, but preferably in both directions, emitting light be arranged. It is possible to choose one or the other LED group or both at the same time activate.
  • light emitting diodes emit light in opposite directions are provided, they can be identical or different Color of the emitted light (e.g. white / red).
  • the operating voltage for example 15.0 Volts to 27.6 volts DC. If the light unit with for example, twelve LEDs is equipped, the LED operating current maximum 80 milliamps.
  • connection terminals for supply and discharge lines are, for example, and preferably spring-loaded terminals. Usually three two-pin terminals on each circuit board are sufficient.
  • the control of the brightness and any desired blinking of the Light sources (LEDs) in the lighting unit can be from the central Power supply by switching the operating voltage on / off with the desired frequencies and clock ratios controlled become.
  • the lighting unit with its own power source is equipped as an integrated emergency power supply element serves. This means that the signaling or escape routing is also possible Damage to individual lighting units and / or their supply line or guaranteed during a power failure.
  • An advantage of the invention is, in a preferred embodiment, if the emergency power supply element of each lighting unit is a capacitor storage element.
  • a capacitor storage element has a lifespan that is significantly longer than that of usual accumulators, being maintenance and doing it associated costs are eliminated.
  • Advantageous when using Capacitors as a storage element it is also that capacitors unlike accumulators, especially rechargeable accumulators, contain no dangerous or environmentally harmful substances, what Particularly advantageous in the event of a tunnel accident or fire is because there is no additional contamination from dangerous or environmentally harmful substances is possible.
  • Another advantage lies in that storage capacitors are particularly quick after use can be recharged.
  • the inventive Light unit to mark roadway edges of any kind, in particular the use of the lighting unit according to the invention as an "illuminated curb marking" in tunnels and the like Traffic routes (underpasses) is intended.
  • the lighting unit according to the invention for marking road edges be used of any kind so that the road edges and thus the course of the road even in poor visibility (Darkness, rain, fog, snowfall, etc.) clearly visible are.
  • the housing consists of the invention Lighting unit from an upper part 10 and a floor or Mounting plate 20.
  • the top 10 has, for example, made of Plastic is injection molded, essentially one truncated pyramid shape with a rectangular base and rectangular top surface 11.
  • two longitudinal sides 12 of the upper housing part 10 are shown in the Embodiment six windows 13 each with e.g. injected, for example, crystal-clear, panes 14 are provided. Through the windows 13 occurs light from the light sources arranged in the interior of the housing (LEDs) to the outside. Such windows 13 can also on only one long side 12 may be provided. In certain applications you can Window 13 also or only on one or both narrow sides of the Housing upper part 10 may be arranged.
  • the LEDs 30 and other electrical / electronic components inside the Luminaire unit are to be accommodated (connecting terminals, the light emitting diodes assigned circuit elements for the supply with the required operating voltage and at least one storage element, preferably in the form of a capacitor storage element) on a Printed circuit board 31 arranged.
  • This circuit board 31 is in the the frame-shaped wall 15 delimited space 16 and with With the help of two screws 32 on screw projections 33, which of the Cover surface 11 of the upper housing part 10 protrude into the interior 16 thereof, established.
  • each group is on the circuit board 31
  • Three light-emitting diodes 30 are provided, each with the printed circuit board inserted 31 through the recesses 19 in the longitudinal walls 18 of the frame-shaped Wall part 15 protrude.
  • To have a secure seat here To achieve LEDs 30 and a seal is about any Light-emitting diode 30 a leaf-shaped closure or holding part 40 (Fig. 5) inserted.
  • This closure part 40 sits when mounted in the housing Printed circuit board 30 and in the recesses 19 of the wall 15 recorded light emitting diodes 30 in the recesses 19 of the longitudinal walls 18 of the frame-shaped wall 15, it being preferred that the mutually facing edges of each recess 19 of the longitudinal walls 18 Grooves 19 'and on the side edges of the sheet-shaped holding or Closure part 40 corresponding ribs 41 are provided so that with holding parts 40 inserted in recesses 19 a labyrinth seal-like Sealing is guaranteed. Moreover, everyone owns Holding part 40 has a hole 42 through which a light-emitting diode 30 is inserted is.
  • the diameter of the hole 42 is chosen so that the preferably rubber-elastic material of the holding part 40 sealing applied to the light emitting diode 30.
  • each group two or more than two holding parts 40 be by connecting the holding parts together via strips are.
  • the housing of the lighting unit according to the invention is down closed by a mounting plate or base plate 20, the at least two openings 21 for the insertion or removal of Has supply and discharge lines, and two or three openings 22 for fixing the base plate 20 to a surface, e.g. the Curb of a road in the area of a tunnel.
  • FIG. 6 there are groove-like depressions in the base plate 20 23, 24 provided, in which a seal 25, as shown in Fig. 7 is shown, inserted or - preferably - injected directly becomes.
  • the seal 25 has an outer frame 26 which the free outer edge of the upper housing part 10 is assigned, and a inner frame 27, which the free edge of the frame-shaped wall 15 and is assigned to the holding parts 40 used in these. So is a double seal of the room 16 in which the light emitting diodes 30 supporting circuit board 31 is arranged, wherein it is assumed that the light-emitting diodes 30 seal through the Grip openings 41 in the holding parts 40.
  • Fig. 8 shows in partial longitudinal section a closed lighting unit consisting of the housing with upper part 10 and base plate 20 and the printed circuit board 31 with light-emitting diodes 30 arranged therein and capacitor storage elements 35.
  • Fig. 9 shows in section in the area of two opposite one another LEDs 30 that these are arranged in the area of the window 13 are.
  • Fig. 10 also shows a section, the cut this time between two adjacent LEDs 30 is selected.
  • Luminaire unit in summary, a preferred embodiment of the invention Luminaire unit can be described as follows:
  • a lighting unit that is used to mark road edges or is intended for marking escape routes has a housing 10, 20, in which light-emitting diodes 30 are arranged as light sources.
  • the LEDs 30 are assigned to windows 13 and on a circuit board 31 mounted.
  • the circuit board 31 is in the housing 10, 20 by holding parts 40 which in recesses of an intermediate wall of the Housing are used, fixed, the LEDs 30th protrude through holes in the holding parts 40.
  • a capacitor storage element intended to power the LEDs 30 in the event of a power failure.
