Definitions

  • the invention relates to the integration of light-emitting diodes in surfaces to be marked, preferably building areas, preferably in important public areas, as desired and / or necessary for example in markings on roads and highways, on airfields, in swimming pools, on facades and the like.
  • luminaires with integrated light-emitting diodes are incorporated, as are for example included in the Internet presentation of a company We-ef and offered by way of example under the type designation ETR 159 become.
  • These luminaires consist of a watertight, essentially rectangular or round housing which, depending on the dimensions, requires additional on-site expenditures up to foundation measures. The execution of such lights is finite and with longer lengths of illuminated markers is a sufficient variety of lights according to the desired course of such markers form. In the case of repairs or even destruction, the luminaire may need to be completely replaced. The expenses for the installation of such lights are significant.
  • the existing design of the lighting unit requires the adaptation of the construction and, for larger execution lengths, a multiplication of the effort for the installation of a lamp.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a light assembly using light-emitting diodes, which is repair-friendly and in which an adaptation of the lamp unit is given to the installation conditions, so that new applications by simply changing the shape and / or an almost infinite Execution lead length for such lights.
  • a wear protection layer can be applied to the light exit surface.
  • polyethylene tube As a plastic profile preferably polyethylene tube is used, which is made translucent and may also preferably have a reinforcing insert to increase its static stability. This is usually a spiral-shaped and integrated into the wall steel insert.
  • the translucent plastic profile used is regularly made clear translucent, but may also be colored in cases where a specific light color is predetermined.
  • the proposed reflective coating with the effect of a concave mirror can be mounted on the lower outer side or the lower inner side opposite the intended light exit.
  • This may be, for example, a reflective foil or a high-gloss aluminum shell. But it can also be used as a paint, which has reflective properties after drying.
  • Another proposed variation provides the statically stable, translucent body of a hardened, pourable in the processing state Polyester resin consist perform.
  • the advantage is that when milled recesses in the parts of the building to be changed all tolerances are compensated and gluing is given with these.
  • statically stable, translucent body consisting of a prefabricated flexible plastic. These are in most cases a flexibly adjusted plastic based on PUR.
  • statically stable body which is translucent at least to the light exit side
  • this body can likewise be embodied in several parts running in its longitudinal direction and transversely to its width.
  • the lower shell can likewise have been manufactured from a subordinate material, for example cast-in-situ concrete.
  • the diode boards can not rotate in the plastic profile and the light-emitting side always points to the light exit side, they can be fixed.
  • the invention provides that the plastic profile therefore has grooves extending in the longitudinal direction on its inner side, between which slots the diode boards are inserted. It is also possible to use a fixed on a tip square plastic profile and dimensionally execute the diode boards so that they are designed in width almost equal to the inner Diagonalmass. This also prevents twisting of the diode boards in the plastic profile.
  • the light exit side of the light-transmissive body carries a wear protection layer.
  • This preferably consists of a mixture of glass beads and a, for example by means of a hot air blower, fusible hydrocarbon resin.
  • the surface of the translucent body is stabilized strength, without affecting the light intensity occurs. It is also possible to mix in the base mixture before processing further roughness-increasing scattering elements, so that, for example, in heavy passenger traffic for this hazard due to slipping is not given.
  • the glass beads are preferably used in diameter ranges between 1 and 2.5 mm in diameter, with a mixture of 8 parts of glass beads and 2 parts of resin has proven to be expedient.
  • diode boards in such a way that they are designed with differently colored, individually controllable diodes.
  • diodes of a diode board in a color and the diode boards are mounted differently colored controllable assorted.
  • the arrangement power supply side with a memory unit that is running at least temporarily powered by photovoltaic elements Since the power consumption by the diodes used is low, it makes sense to connect as far away from a possible by cable sufficient self-sufficient power supply, the arrangement power supply side with a memory unit that is running at least temporarily powered by photovoltaic elements.
  • the inventive arrangement may be carried out in terms of their longitudinal extent substantially plane-parallel and almost infinite, ie in the form of a uniformly wide infinite light band. It is also possible, for example in a street, to introduce other forms of illuminated marking, for example in the form of an arrow, without the need for fundamental technological changes.
  • the inventive arrangement is embedded in a groove in the ground and the ballast necessary for the diodes is located outside the basin.
  • the inventive arrangement is equally important for the equipment of airfields, railway stations, public roads and the like public buildings, because it is not only waterproof, but also passable and accessible.
  • Task was to integrate into the surface of the access to a busy hotel parking lot an illuminated arrow of 1 m in length and over the ends of the sweep measured by 0.4 m width, so that in particular the hotel guests, the first time the hotel with their vehicle visit the correct way to park your vehicle is proven.
  • the outlines of the desired arrow in the existing paved road as a building surface 1 are cut with a diamond blade.
  • the inner part is dug to a depth of 10 cm.
  • the plastic profile 4 has as a reinforcing insert on a spiral reinforcement, has centrally on its inside grooves 8 for horizontal securing of the diode boards 2 and has a high-gloss aluminum tape applied as a reflective coating on the intended bottom of the plastic profile 4. In addition, it is locked in the middle in the recess made in the building surface 1. This locking can be done on small plastic inserts.
  • the recess in the building surface 1 by means of acting as a light-transmissive body 6 curable castable polyester resin to about 5 mm below the level of the road surface potting reaching.
  • a hot air blower as a wear protection layer 7
  • a layer of a mixture of glass beads with 2 mm diameter and a fusible hydrocarbon resin adjusted the level of access and smoothed the surface.
  • the orientation device produced is ready for use.
  • an insert is prepared prepared from diode boards 2, power supply cable 3, acting as a reflective coating 5 foil strip and as the light exit surface translucent plastic profile 4 serving clear square profile.
  • the width of the diode boards 2 is slightly smaller than the length of the inner diagonal of the square profile.
  • the insert is pressed so that the edge of the square profile, which is the intended light exit surface is located in the concrete 9.
  • the light exit surface points upwards. Care was also taken to ensure that the concrete 9 extends in height to the middle of the insert.
  • a translucent flexible body 6 is placed on a flexible clear plastic profile, which has on its underside a matched to the outer design recess.
  • the recess in the building surface 1 is dimensioned in terms of their depth so that after applying the flexible clear plastic profile still a Verschleissstoff Anlagen 7, as known, can be applied.
  • the guide After reaching the final strength of the components used, the guide is ready to use.
