Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a lamp which comprises at least one base for connection to a light-side lamp socket, at least one LED element (light emitting diode) and at least one second lamp arranged on the socket.

State of the art

Such a lamp is in the DE 198 29 270 A1 described. There are at least two partial lamps of different color temperature provided, the overall color temperature of the lamp is changeable. One of the two partial lamps is designed here as an LED element.

When arranging LED elements in a lamp, it must be taken into account that LED elements usually emit directional light. To achieve a homogeneous luminance distribution of the LED light emitted by the lamp or, in the case of two partial lamps of the light emitted by the lamp, having an LED light component, a special arrangement of the LED elements is required.

Presentation of the invention

The invention has for its object to further develop the known lamp such that the lamp allows a homogeneous luminance distribution of the LED light emitted by the LED element with a simple construction of the lamp.

The invention solves this problem in that a plurality of LED elements are provided, which are arranged spaced from the base and combined to form a structural unit.

Lamps with a plurality of LED elements, which are supported by the base and are combined to form a clamping unit, are made of the US-A5463280 known.

The principle of the invention thus consists essentially in not arranging the LED elements in the base of the lamp and the LED light which would be generated near the base or in the base, by means of light-guiding elements or light-guiding elements in the volume of the lamp but to arrange the LED elements spaced from the base, so that already a certain equalization of the LED light emitted by the plurality of LED elements can take place within the lamp volume. Of course, light-guiding elements or light-guiding elements can be provided, which provide for a further homogenization of the luminance distribution, wherein, for example, diffuser elements can be provided. However, due to the distributed arrangement of the LED elements according to the invention, at least in a partial region of the lamp volume, a significant equalization of the luminous density distribution of the LED light of the lamp can be achieved.

The solution according to the invention also offers the possibility of a particularly simple structural design of a lamp. The assembly can be prefabricated, for example, as a separate, to be fastened to the base of the lamp element and then mounted to the base. In addition, it is basically possible to resort to known units, which can lead to inexpensive lamps according to the invention. By combining several LED elements to form a structural unit, the manufacture of the lamp according to the invention can be carried out in a particularly simple manner.

In addition, it is possible in this way, a temperature influence of the connection areas of the individual LED elements to the device by heat, which is generated in the connection area optionally provided further partial lamps on the lamp, largely exclude. In particular, in a lamp in which different partial lamps are provided, it is possible in this way to arrange only the partial lamp of the second kind directly on the base of the lamp and to arrange the LED elements on the unit and thus only indirectly to the base. On In this way, for the heat dissipation of the heat generated by the LED elements, a larger surface area, namely the surface of the module, is available which would not be present if the LED elements were arranged inside the base of the lamp. The surface of the assembly is also separated from the surface of the base of the lamp.

The lamp according to the invention can be socketed on one or two sides. This may be, for example, a lamp of conventional drop-shaped basic shape with a screw base, wherein the LED elements having structural unit is arranged within the lamp volume. Alternatively, the lamp according to the invention can also be designed as a single-capped lamp with plug-in connections in the form of a conventional compact fluorescent lamp. Finally, lamps come into consideration, which have a two-sided socket in the manner of conventional fluorescent lamps.

As LED light, in the sense of the present patent application, the radiation emitted by the LED elements is referred to, which is preferably in the visible wavelength range. In principle, however, it is also conceivable and included by the term LED light within the meaning of the present invention to use LED elements which emit radiation in other, non-visible wavelength ranges, for example in the short-wave UV range. When using such LED elements, for example, an additional, a lamp volume enveloping piston element may be provided, which is provided on its inner side with a phosphor layer, which converts the short-wave LED UV light into visible light.

The LED elements of the lamp according to the invention may be monochromatic or have different colors. By suitable control can be achieved in this way, for example, a color passage in this way.

The arrangement according to the invention of a plurality of LED elements on a structural unit allows, in addition to a particularly simple control, also a particularly simple arrangement of connection and control lines. Especially The construction of the base of the lamp can be made particularly simple. A plug-in connection of the module to the lamp base is possible.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a plurality of LED elements are at least partially combined into a substantially row-like arrangement. This embodiment allows, for example, an arrangement of the assembly substantially along a longitudinal axis of the lamp, so that a simple equalization of the luminance distribution of the LED light within the lamp volume is achieved by simple means. In addition, can be used on known units.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the LED elements are combined to form a linear rod assembly. This embodiment allows a particularly simple recourse to known components, so that development and manufacturing costs can be kept low. For example, bar arrangements of LED elements embedded in acrylic glass (Plexiglas) are known from other fields. Such assemblies may be used, optionally with changes made, for placement in a lamp. A summary of the LED elements to a linear rod assembly also leads to an evenly distributed in the lamp volume arrangement of the LED elements and thus to a uniform luminance distribution.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the bar arrangement is aligned substantially along the longitudinal axis of the lamp. This arrangement makes it possible, in particular in the case of lamps which are of elongated design, that is to say for example have a piston-shaped lamp volume, to have a particularly uniform luminance distribution. In this case, the bar assembly is arranged with the LED elements substantially perpendicular to a plane which is formed by the cross-sectional area (broad side) of the base. This allows in particular a particularly simple assembly, with a particularly stable arrangement of the rod assembly to the base.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the assembly is formed substantially translucent. This embodiment allows a homogeneous mixing of light.

According to a further alternative embodiment of the invention, the assembly is formed substantially reflective or light scattering. In this embodiment, a significant advantage is that multiple reflections can take place on the surface of the assembly. In this case, a geometric arrangement of the assembly or the LED elements and the further provided partial lamps Secondary type are made, which also allows a homogeneous mixing of light. In particular, the structural unit can be arranged directly adjacent to a partial lamp of the second type, so that multiple reflection between the structural unit and material areas of the partial lamp can take place to a great extent.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a piston element is provided, which at least partially encloses the assembly. As a piston element is for example a translucent glass or plastic cylinder into consideration. In principle, it is possible to form the piston element as a protective piston, for example, to generate within a lamp volume a certain pressure or to hold a certain gas filling. Finally, however, it is also possible to provide the piston element with openings, for example for the passage of cooling air streams.

The piston element is designed according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention as a diffuser. The diffuser element ensures a further homogenization of the luminance distribution of the lamp. In addition, with several LED elements of different colors, the diffuser element can ensure a mixing of the colors. Finally, the diffuser element contributes to thorough mixing of the LED light and of the light emitted by the partial lamp of the second kind.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the piston element made of plastic. This embodiment offers the possibility that scattering body can be introduced into a plastic granulate mass from which the piston element is produced. The piston element produced in particular as a plastic injection molded part can be provided in this way with particularly homogeneously distributed scattering bodies. The production cost is low. The scattering bodies can either be added to the plastic granules or be an integral part of the granules.

The scattering bodies can also consist of phosphor.

According to the invention, at least one partial lamp of the second kind is arranged on the base. This may be, for example, a compact fluorescent lamp, but also a high-pressure discharge lamp or the like. In particular, if the partial lamp of the second type and arranged in the assembly LED elements have different color temperatures, it may be provided to change the overall color temperature of the lamp, as shown in the DE 198 29 270 A1 is described. For this purpose, the LED elements of the assembly, possibly also individually, and / or the partial lamp of the second kind, dimmable and / or switchable or can be switched off.

In this way, for example, a lamp can be constructed, which provides an efficient emergency or continuous light, which is generated by the LED elements and in which, if necessary, the partial lamp of the second kind is connected to generate a large luminous flux.

According to the invention, a lamp is made possible which enables a luminance distribution of the light emitted by the LED elements, which is at least very similar to the luminance distribution of the light emitted by the partial lamp of the second kind.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided to provide the LED elements of red LEDs and to combine these with a trained as Hg fluorescent lamp partial lamp of the second kind. In this way, white light with color temperatures of less than 2500 K can be generated, as is produced when dimming an incandescent lamp.

The Hg-fluorescent lamp, of which several may be provided, may have any shape and be designed for example as a compact lamp or as a flashlight. In question, for example, come compact fluorescent lamps with discharge vessels, which have at least one particular U-shaped bent portion, in particular DULUX T / E compact fluorescent lamps, DULUX-S / E or DULUX L lamps from OSRAM.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the piston member encloses both the assembly with the LED elements and the partial lamp of the second kind, at least partially. In this way, a compact lamp is possible, with a common piston element, which is formed for example as a diffuser and ensures thorough mixing of the light generated by the two partial lamps. In addition, a lamp according to the invention can be constructed in this way, which is at least very similar in their design conventional lamps.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the assembly is formed substantially translucent. For example, materials such as acrylic glass or another, translucent plastic come into question. Except for the LED elements themselves, which may be embedded in the unit, for example, and except for their control lines, which may be of only a very small diameter, the unit can in this way for the light emitted by the LED elements and also be transparent to the light emitted by the partial lamp of the second kind. This training leads to a virtually complete avoidance of shading problems. In addition, in this way an almost arbitrary arrangement of the assembly can be made within the lamp volume without shading problems occur.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lamp is formed substantially symmetrically with respect to a center plane of the lamp. For example, this can be done by a central, central arrangement of the unit on the base and a correspondingly symmetrical design of the partial lamps of the second kind. Finally, however, it is also conceivable that at least two structural units are symmetrical along a median plane to arrange the lamp. Alternatively, the assembly may also comprise two sections, the sections being arranged symmetrically to the median plane of the lamp.

In particular, by the arrangement of at least two units spaced from each other, symmetrically to the center plane or by arranging at least two sections of a unit spaced from each other and symmetrical to the center plane on the one hand, a symmetrical, preferably also directed light distribution of the LED light can be achieved. On the other hand, the spacing also allows a good dissipation of the heat generated by the LED elements.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the LED elements are each arranged on one side of the assembly. In particular, in the event that the assembly has an at least partially curved surface and is transparent, can be provided in this way by the assembly, a lens, in particular a cylindrical lens, which performs a bundling of the LED light. The luminous flux can be directed in this way in a preferred direction. This shading problems can be almost completely avoided.

Preferred embodiments of the invention

Fig. 1 shows a designated in its entirety by 10 lamp having a base 11. The base 11 are associated with electrical connections 20 and a mechanical connection 21 for connection to a light-side lamp socket, not shown.

On the base 11, a structural unit 13 is arranged, the several, in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 six, different LED elements 12 has. The LED elements 12 are arranged linearly in a row, so that the assembly 13 is formed overall rod-shaped and extends along the longitudinal axis L of the lamp 10. The assembly 13 is centrally located centrally on the base 11.

For example, the six LED elements 12 may be embedded in an assembly 13 made of acrylic glass. But it is also possible to arrange the LED elements 12 on one side 26 of the assembly 13.

According to Fig. 1 the rod-shaped structural unit 13 is surrounded by a substantially U-shaped partial lamp 15 of the second type. The partial lamp 15 of the second kind may be formed, for example, as a compact fluorescent lamp.

The partial lamp 15 second type and the unit 13 have separate connection areas 18 and 19 to the base 11. The partial lamp 15 of the second kind and the unit 13 are separately via non-illustrated connection lines that run at least partially through the base 11, driven. It can also be provided to control individual LED elements 12 independently of one another, which if necessary includes a dimming process.

The lamp volume 25 is defined as the interior of a piston element 24, which encloses the component 13 and the partial lamp 15 of the second type. The piston element 24 is connected separately via the connection region 27 to the base 11.

The piston element 24 may, for example, be a completely closed glass bulb, which makes it possible to let the lamp volume 25 have a different pressure relative to the outer space 28 of the lamp 10 or to arrange a gas in the lamp volume 25.

The base 11 and the piston member 24 are circular cylindrical in cross section.

According to the embodiment Fig. 1 is the piston member 24 formed as a diffuser 16, whose task is, inter alia, to mix the light emitted by the partial lamp 15 of the second type and the LED elements 12 light, so that a homogeneous luminance distribution of the lamp 10 is achieved for a viewer.

In the diffuser element 16 are in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 arranged two openings 17, which are formed as air passage openings and can serve to pass a heat-dissipating air flow.

• Ein Teil des von den LED-Elementen 12 ausgesandten Lichtes verlässt etwa entlang dem schematischen Lichtweg 14a die Lampe 10 unmittelbar. Ein weiterer Lichtanteil wird an dem Diffusorelement 16 gemäß dem Pfeilzug 14b gestreut bzw. reflektiert und verlässt die Lampe 10 erst nach ein- oder mehrmaliger Reflexion. Ein dritter Lichtanteil kann beispielsweise auch eine Lichtlenkung durch die Teillampe 15 zweiter Art durchlaufen, wie dies etwa der Pfeilzug 14c zeigt. Schließlich sind auch Kombinationen der Pfeilzüge 14b und 14c möglich. Gleiches gilt für das von der Teillampe 15 zweiter Art ausgesandte Licht. Eine Sonderrolle kann in diesem Zusammenhang das Material des Bauelementes 13 spielen:

The course of the light 14 emitted by the LED elements 12 will be explained schematically with reference to the arrows 14a, 14b and 14c:

• A part of the light emitted by the LED elements 12 leaves the lamp 10 directly along the schematic light path 14a, for example. Another proportion of light is at the diffuser element 16 according to the arrow 14b scatters or reflects and leaves the lamp 10 after one or more reflections. A third light component, for example, can also pass through a light guide through the partial lamp 15 of the second type, as shown by the arrow 14c, for example. Finally, combinations of the arrows 14b and 14c are possible. The same applies to the light emitted by the partial lamp 15 of the second kind. A special role can play in this context, the material of the component 13:

In particular, when the LED elements 12 are embedded in a translucent material, such as acrylic, existing device 13, shading problems can be almost avoided. In this case, the component 13 is permeable both to the LED light 14 and to the light emitted by the partial lamp 15 of the second type, whereby, of course, the connection lines, not shown, for the LED elements 12 that run inside the unit 13 are excluded ,

Finally, the assembly 13 may also have the function of a diffuser which performs an additional thorough mixing of the light emitted by the LED elements 12 as well as by the second lamp 15 of the second type.

The connection region 19 of the assembly 13 is arranged approximately centrally on the base 11 approximately. The substantially annular connection region 18 of the partial lamp 15 of the second type is according to Fig. 1 arranged relatively close to the edge R of the base 11. The heat generated in the bonding region 18 may have little effect on the LED elements 12 due to the large spacing of the LED elements 12 from the bonding region 18. In this way, a parallel operation of the LED elements 12 and the partial lamp 15 of the second kind is possible. A heat dissipation of the heat generated by the LED elements 12 succeeds in particular on the surface 22 of the assembly 13 in the region 26 of the connection of the individual LED elements 12. Thus, a relatively large surface 22 is available, which is separate from the surface 23 of the base 11 is arranged.

According to the embodiment Fig. 1 the rod-shaped structural unit 13 is arranged along the longitudinal axis L of the lamp 10 and has a length I which is approximately two thirds of the length a of the piston element 24. In principle, it is possible with the lamp according to the invention to select the length I of the rod-shaped structural unit 13 corresponding to the length a of the piston element 24.

• Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 a ist eine Baueinheit 13 mit LED-Elementen 12 vorgesehen. Die beiden Abschnitte der Teillampe 15 sind gemeinsam mit der Baueinheit 13 entlang einer Geraden bzw. entlang der Mittelebene E angeordnet. Dies ist eine besonders einfache Ausbildung, wobei die Lichtverteilung des LED-Lichtes 14 der Baueinheit 13, wie durch die Pfeile 14 angedeutet ist, insgesamt symmetrisch zur Längsachse L der Lampe 10 ausgebildet sein kann.

The Fig. 1a to 1 c show by way of example three different arrangements of units 13 and partial lamps 15:

• According to the embodiment Fig. 1 a is a structural unit 13 with LED elements 12 is provided. The two sections of the partial lamp 15 are arranged together with the assembly 13 along a straight line or along the center plane E. This is a particularly simple embodiment, wherein the light distribution of the LED light 14 of the assembly 13, as indicated by the arrows 14, may be formed generally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis L of the lamp 10.

Fig. 1 b shows an alternative arrangement of two units 13. These are in turn arranged approximately centrally between the two sections of the partial lamp 15. Each assembly 13 has a number of LED elements 12, for example, each of six LED elements 12. The LED elements 12 are each disposed on the side 26 of the assembly 13, that is, in each case on the attachment side, so that one of the attachment side 26th assigned area of the surface 22 of the assembly 13 is available for sufficient heat dissipation.

It is advantageous here that e.g. in a clear design of the assembly 13, for example by using acrylic glass, the device 13 itself forms a cylindrical lens. The light path is shown schematically by the arrows 14. Alternatively, the assembly 13 may be dull and e.g. act as a diffuser.

The embodiment according to Fig. 1 b shows a lamp 10 with a directed light distribution. However, the luminance distribution is now in particular symmetrical, namely symmetrically both with respect to the longitudinal axis L (axis symmetry) as well as mirror-symmetrical to a center plane E of the lamp 10th

A likewise advantageous embodiment shows Fig. 1 c , in turn, two units 13 are provided with each arranged thereon LED elements 12. The units 13 are spaced apart here, whereby the heat dissipation is further improved.

A second embodiment of the invention shows Fig. 2 in the form of a double capped lamp 10. Fig. 2 shows only the one end portion of a lamp 10 according to the invention, which at their respect Fig. 2 not shown, right end another, identical base 11 has.

The lamp volume 25 is enclosed by a hollow cylindrical piston element 24 with a circular cross section. The piston member 24 is fixed to the base and connects the two, mutually opposite pedestal eleventh

Within the lamp volume 25 is according to Fig. 2 , analogous to the arrangement according to Fig. 1 , a rod-shaped structural unit 13, which comprises a plurality of LED elements 12. For the sake of clarity, only six LED elements 12 are shown, which are arranged linearly, that is to say along a straight line. The straight line runs parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the lamp 10.

Parallel to the rod-shaped assembly 13, a partial lamp 15 of the second type is arranged, which is designed in the manner of a conventional fluorescent lamp.

The light emitted by the LED elements 12 is analogous to Fig. 1 with respect to its light path indicated only schematically by the arrow marks 14a, 14b and 14c. The piston element 24, which is also designed as a diffuser 16 in this exemplary embodiment, on the one hand ensures thorough mixing of the different light components of the LED light 14 and, on the other hand, also ensures thorough mixing of the LED light 14 with the light emitted by the partial lamp 15 of the second type. Again, it is due to the substantially translucent design of the unit 13 to very little Abschattungsproblemen. The light emitted by the partial lamp 15 of the second kind can also pass through the structural unit 13, which again consists of acrylic glass, according to the arrow 29, wherein only the LED elements 12 themselves and the connection lines, not shown, for the LED elements 12 for a passage of light through the assembly 13 are disturbing, which is practically irrelevant.

The Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b show different embodiments of the lamp according to Fig. 2 , Fig. 2a shows an arrangement of a unit 13 and a partial lamp 15 analogous to the representation according to Fig. 2 , Fig. 2b is intended to illustrate that it is equally possible to provide two units 13 within the piston member 24 together with an approximately centrally disposed within the two units 13 partial lamp 15. The embodiment 2b generates in a particularly advantageous manner analogous to the embodiments according to Fig. 1 Federation Fig. 1 c a symmetrical luminance distribution of the LED light 14. A symmetry is given in particular with respect to the center plane E of the lamp 10. At the same time a symmetry with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the lamp 10 is fixed.

In principle, it is also possible to provide the inside of the piston element 24 or the diffuser element 16 with a phosphor layer (not shown), for example, to convert light emitted by the LED elements 12 into short-wave UV light in the visible light.

Finally, the assembly 13 can also be arranged within the protective bulb of a conventional fluorescent lamp.

Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of the lamp according to the invention, in which a Hg fluorescent lamp 15 'is combined with a unit having eight LED elements 12. This especially under the name DULUX S / E or DULUX-L commercially available, designed as a compact fluorescent lamp partial lamp 15 'second type is formed substantially in the manner of a U-shaped double leg. The assembly 13 'is separately from the partial lamp 15' second type attached to a cross-sectionally substantially triangular base 11 '. The partial lamp 15 'second type and the assembly 13' are aligned substantially parallel to each other.

In the embodiment of the 3 and 4 can account for a separate piston element. A redistribution and equalization of the LED light takes place via the phosphor layer of the partial lamp 15 'and via multiple reflections on the assembly 13'. In particular, it is advantageous in this context if the assembly 13 'in this embodiment is substantially opaque, but reflective in any case.

The particular shape of the base 11 'allows, for example, a series arrangement of a plurality of identical lamps 10' such that a linear, substantially along the direction of the arrow X trained row of identical lamps 10 results ', wherein the partial lamps 15' second type each alternately along the direction Y or the direction Y 'are aligned.

Alternatively, there is the possibility of a radial arrangement of several identical lamps 10 'around the vertex S around. In the choice of the angle of the triangular base 11 'according to the embodiment of Fig. 3 in particular results in a radiate-like arrangement of six identical lamps 10 '.

Of course, other not shown, in principle any shapes of the lamp 10 of the invention come into consideration.
