Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diving light with an electrical light generating unit a power supply circuit connectable to and with a battery contains connectable, first light source.
  • Light is essential when diving, not just for reading the instruments. It rather conveys a feeling of security and thus influences the psyche of the Diver. Divers therefore take diving lights of the type described at the beginning with them underwater, electrically operated, in pressure-tight housing built light generating units have (DE 100 23 183 A1).
  • the light generating units consist of usually a light source and a power supply circuit connected to it, which is powered by a preferably rechargeable battery. Under A battery is understood to be an electrochemical energy store, most of the time consists of an interconnection of several individual cells.
  • a disadvantage of these diving lights is the fact that a defect in the light source, usually a halogen light bulb with a relatively short lifespan, resulting in a total failure the diving light leads. Because changing the light source under water is impossible there is a considerable safety risk if the light source fails. Lead divers therefore usually a second, redundant light with you during your dives.
  • Another disadvantage is that the diver is not or insufficient, z. B. by a difficult to read remaining capacity indicator, about the state of charge or the remaining charge of the Battery is informed, as well as falling below one to operate the light source required remaining capacity can lead to failure of the diving light.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the shortcomings described, and the trained diving light so that the possibility of a sudden Total failure is severely restricted or the diver before a sudden total failure is protected.
  • the light generating unit of the invention Diving light at least a second, connectable to the power supply circuit Light source and one for switching the power supply circuit from the first switch on the second light source.
  • the invention has the advantage that the diving light in addition to a first Main light source has a second substitute light source, which should the main light source fail or if another undesirable operating state of the diving light occurs can be switched on.
  • the light generating unit has also a monitoring device that either the diver by issuing a warning signal in good time to preselected undesired operating states and draws attention to the need to operate the switch or operated this switch automatically.
  • This can e.g. B. done in that the monitoring device permanently monitors the function of the first light source, in particular the current that flows through this light source. Then, for example, occurs Filament breakage, which leads to an interruption of the monitored circuit, then this is detected by the monitoring device and automatically Switching on the second light source and / or used to emit the warning signal.
  • a diving lamp according to the invention contains a waterproof housing 1, the front with one to avoid damage something reset glass pane is sealed. A seal is used between the Glass pane 2 and a housing wall inserted sealing ring 3. Behind the glass pane 2 there is a conventional luminous mirror 4, at the center of which there is at least a first one Light source 5 in the form of an incandescent lamp, in particular a high-performance halogen lamp is arranged. The power supply of the light source 5 takes place with the help of one of these connectable, not shown power supply circuit 6 (Fig. 3), the a circuit board 7 is mounted and forms a light generating unit with the light source 5.
  • the board 7 is fixed by means of screws 8 on a base plate 9, which in a rear opening of the housing 1 is screwed and a rearward projecting Has connector 10.
  • This plug 10 fits into a corresponding connection socket an associated end of a not shown, also waterproof battery case is provided, which are plugged onto the rear end of the housing 1 can, with another sealing ring 11 is used for sealing.
  • By plugging the Battery housing on the housing 1 becomes a battery housed in the battery housing 12 (Fig. 3) connected to the circuit board 7, so that it does not operate after one illustrated on / off switch the light source 5 is supplied with current.
  • the necessary for this electrical lines and other components are known in view and therefore not shown in detail.
  • the light generating unit has at least one second light source 14 on.
  • twelve such second light sources 14 are provided, which surround the first light source 5 in a ring.
  • the second light sources 14 are e.g. B. by means of a schematically indicated, mounted on the housing 1, for. B. as a rotary switch trained switch 15 to the power supply circuit 6 (Fig. 3) connectable, which is set up in such a way that the first one automatically occurs during this switching operation
  • Light source 5 is decoupled from the power supply circuit 6.
  • the second light sources 14 can consist of incandescent lamps, are but according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention Light sources in the form of z. B. formed by light emitting diodes based on a different light generation principle than the incandescent lamps are based. It is assumed that LEDs a different, in particular much smaller power consumption than Have light bulbs. For comparison, it should be noted that standard incandescent lamps for diving lights work with a power of approx. 50 W to 100 W, standard LEDs on the other hand have a power consumption of only about 0.06 W, so that all twelve shown Light sources 14 together z. B. would only consume about 0.7 W.
  • the first light source 5 is a normally used main light source is, while the at least one light source 14 serves as a substitute light source, i. H. normally not used and only switched on when the first light source 5 is defective and / or the battery 12 is so discharged that it is the first light source 5 can no longer supply sufficient electricity for an extended period of time.
  • the light generating unit 5, 6 contains one for monitoring the Operating status of the diving light specific monitoring device.
  • This monitoring device serves in particular the purpose of directing the first light source 5 towards it check whether it is working properly or e.g. B. is broken due to a broken thread, and / or to check the battery 12 to determine whether its current state of charge is sufficient to to supply the first light source 5 with electricity for a sufficient time.
  • the light generating unit contains the switch 15 and / or an electronic, z. B. arranged within the power supply circuit 6 switch, the has the same function as the switch 15, but can be actuated automatically.
  • the monitoring device can be designed in various ways.
  • a first one Possibility is that they are in the circuit of the first light source 5 Has resistor 16, with which it is checked whether an incandescent lamp current is still flowing. If this is not the case, the first light source 5 is defective.
  • the monitoring device triggers then via an alarm device 17 an optical, acoustic or mechanical alarm signal from, which automatically indicates to the diver that the light source 5 is defective and the Power supply circuit 6 by means of the switch 15 (Fig. 1) on the second light source 14 must be switched.
  • this switchover is preferably carried out with the help of the internal electrical switch automatically.
  • a Defect of the light source 5 can be detected by assigning a photo sensor to it which causes the alarm signal or switching when the brightness of the first Light source 5 drops below a predetermined threshold.
  • the Power supply circuit 6 in the case of a defective or no longer working properly Light source 5 switched to the second light source 14. This is for redundancy concerned d. H. the diver no longer has a sudden failure of the diving light fear.
  • the invention can be configured particularly advantageously, if the two light sources 5 and 14 are different as described above Light generation principles are based, for example as the first light source 5 a halogen incandescent lamp is used, while the second light source 14 LEDs are used.
  • the commonly used in diving lights Halogen incandescent lamps have a high current consumption. Since the usually as NiCd or NiMH batteries used shortly before the full energy source Discharge has a particularly steep discharge curve, results in almost completely discharged battery a very quick, sudden decrease in light output until the light source 5 is completely extinguished.
  • the remaining light duration is reduced by one Extended many times over.
  • z. B. only a power consumption of approx. 0.7 W instead of approx. 50 W to 100 W, so that the diver sufficient time would remain if this undesired operating state occurred, to take the measures necessary for his safety.
  • the remaining capacity selected at the time of switching can be the one caused by the substitute light source Lighting z. B. on a remaining light duration of at least one hour be determined.
  • the diver would be possible for the diver to give warning signals (Alarm device 17) at certain intervals to the expiration of the lighting period to point out the second light source 14.
  • This Capacity warning can be triggered, for example, by briefly switching off and on (flashing) the active light source 5 and / or by an additional signal transmitter, for example be generated acoustically by a sound generator or by vibrations.
  • the Generation of appropriate alarm signals is also after switching z. B. to Protection against deep discharge of the battery 12 possible.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described, which is based on could be modified in many ways.
  • the light sources 5 and 14 lamps other than those shown are provided.
  • the one to determine of the preselected (mostly undesirable) operating conditions only as examples and can be replaced by other appropriate sensors or the like.
  • the other components used to power the light sources 5, 14 can be varied largely freely, it being expedient to use the entire power supply circuit 6 including the monitoring device with the help of at least to implement a conventional microprocessor control.
  • the power supply circuit 6 is also preferably so connected that if one or more light sources 14 is defective, the rest second light sources 14 remain switched on, which further increases the redundancy becomes.
