Definitions
- the invention relates to a lighting device for in particular passenger conveyors equipped with components designed as glass segments.
- DE-A 199 57 680 describes a lighting device for passenger conveyor systems, in particular an escalator or a moving walkway, comprising at least one continuous light band, which in the operating state extends essentially over the length of the passenger conveyor system.
- the same can be formed by a multiplicity of electrically connected printed circuit boards equipped with light-emitting diodes, wherein alternatively the individual light-emitting diodes can also be arranged on a continuous, flexible, electrically conductive band.
- This type of lighting of components can be regarded as much simpler and more reliable than the lamps that have been used so far with a current of 220V.
- the lighting device described requires considerable cabling, particularly when viewed over the length of the passenger conveyor systems.
- the object of the invention is to provide wireless lighting for individual or multiple components of passenger conveyor systems, such as, in particular, glass balustrades of escalators or moving walks, which is simple in construction and is even more reliable than the previously known prior art.
- Both lighting devices that form sufficient light for security elements or emergency lighting and lighting devices that have such a high luminous efficiency should be regarded as lighting devices Make sure that a smooth transport of people without compromising safety is guaranteed.
- a lighting device for passenger conveying systems in particular with components designed as glass segments, such as balustrades of escalators and moving walkways, including conductor tracks provided in the area of one or more of the components for the energy supply of individual or several, possibly band-like, lighting elements provided on the component side.
- the subject matter of the invention thus provides a wireless lighting device which has a considerable technical advantage over the prior art.
- Components of passenger conveyor systems, such as elevators, escalators and moving walks, which are made of glass, can advantageously be printed with the conductor tracks and / or the lighting elements in a simple manner, the screen printing method advantageously being used.
- the lighting device is provided in the protected area of the components to be provided with it, so that vandalism is largely excluded.
- this can be the case Part of the balustrade facing away from the transport area, which is not directly exposed to personal access.
- the printed conductor tracks and / or lighting elements are hardly visible to the viewer, so that the impression is given that areas of the passenger conveyor system can be illuminated without power supply.
- the conductor tracks and / or lighting elements are provided in an encapsulated form to protect against corrosion or to avoid short circuits or possible voltage losses, with a wide variety of materials being used. It is conceivable to provide the conductor tracks, which preferably contain silver or a silver alloy, with a ceramic or plastic protective layer in order to achieve the desired effects.
- safety elements such as warnings or the like
- materials which cause phosphorescent properties such as powdered zinc oxide
- different color contrasts can be brought about in the range of predeterminable light wavelengths.
- Figures 1 and 2 Different embodiments for lighting the glass balustrade of a passenger conveyor system.
- FIGs 1 and 2 show on the one hand the balustrade area 1, 1 'of an escalator not shown or one not shown Moving walkway.
- the balustrade 2,2 ' consists of glass in both cases. It is fastened in the area of the base 3.3 'and carries a handrail 4.4' outside the base 3.3 '.
- two different lighting devices 5,6 are shown.
- the lighting device 5 is formed by a chain of LEDs 7, which is fastened in the outer area 8 of the balustrade 2 not facing the transport area, but also emits its light into the transport area 9, among other things.
- the LED 7 are brought into operative connection with a transformer, also not shown, via electrical interconnects, not shown.
- the lighting device 6 is formed by a security element 7 ', which is also operatively connected via electrical conductor tracks 10.1 1 to a transformer (not shown further) for the generation of 12V alternating current. While the lighting device 5 emits sufficient light for the safe transportation of people, seen over the conveyor line, the lighting device 6, which may contain means for producing different color tones, if necessary, containing phosphorescent properties, is only provided for the specific indicative application. In both cases, the conductor tracks 10.1 1 are applied to the balustrade 2, for example using a screen printing method, the conductor tracks 10.1 1 containing silver and being covered by a protective layer (not shown) made of plastic.
- the lighting device 1 2 shown in FIG. 2 also contains electrical conductor tracks 13, 14 and a large number of LEDs 15 for generating a continuous light strip, seen over the transport route.
- the light band, formed by LED 1 5, provides sufficient light for the safe transportation of people.
- the electrical conductor tracks 13, 14 and the lighting device 12 are on the rear 8 ' the balustrade 2 'applied by screen technology, the conductor tracks 13, 14 being operatively connected to a 12-phase AC transformer (not shown).
- the subject matter of the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, rather it can also be used sensibly in the elevator area, in particular in elevator cars, which are at least partially equipped with glass elements.
- the lighting devices can then be applied to the inaccessible side of the elevator car and bring about the desired effects (information, lighting or the like).
