Ambient lighting device

The invention relates to an ambient lighting device with a light source for rooms and outdoor areas or open spaces. Furthermore, the invention relates to an ambient lighting device with an attachment disk.

Lamps are in a lamp or illumination device used, light emitting devices with at least ^¬ a light source. Lamps, various For ^¬ have men: tubular or rod-shaped, eg fabric tube with a luminous, pear, teardrop or spherical, for example, an incandescent lamp. There are different types of lighting equipment such as ceiling lights, wall lights, desk lamps, etc. They can be permanently installed or mobile. They can be operated with mains power or with batteries.

A light source preferably emits visible light. Illuminants have at least one light source. The generation of radiation can ^¬ sources of light differ in their way. For example, the light at a light ^¬ is fluorescent by an excited gas, and of an incandescent lamp by a thermal radiator generated. Furthermore, light sources are distinguished according to their intensity, temperature, excitation and their spatial extent. A point light source is known, for example, as a spotlight or spot.

By contrast, a fluorescent tube is preferably referred to as a diffuse light source.

Lighting is an optical exposure and illumination of a room, object and / or outdoor area to understand. Artificial indoor and / or outdoor lighting using lights is usually done with electric lighting. With such electrical lighting devices are for example, equipped buildings. The Beleuchtungseinrich ^¬ lines are preferably attached to the buildings or Raumde ^¬ bridges. Even in public facilities such as train stations or airports, the rooms or outdoor areas are equipped with lighting facilities.

Particularly in the case of public facilities, for example an airport, the architects or the interior designers face the challenge of designing a lighting device and a sound reinforcement device for the building as cost-effectively as possible. Such sound systems can be realized, for example, with surface speakers. Since sound systems and lighting devices are preferably accommodated at the same installation locations, possible boundary conditions and installation ^paths must already be taken into account in the planning phase for both systems.

Area loudspeakers of the type mentioned have long been known as such, for example from US Pat. No. 3,247,925 or US Pat. No. 3,347,335.

Thereafter, in a flat-panel loudspeaker, a voice coil operating according to the electrodynamic principle is used, which is mechanically coupled directly to a surface. If the voice coil is electrically excited by a signal generator, then their vibrations are transmitted to the surface acting as a membrane, whereby this itself forms a sound-emitting element.

In the aforementioned document US-A-3,247,925 is mentioned that the sound-emitting element of the flat-panel loudspeaker, a construction ^¬ part of a housing may ^¬ form sehgerätes a record player, radio, or TV or could also be designed as part of a wall or ceiling of a room , Further application possibilities for a flat-panel loudspeaker are more recent

Time, for example, EP-BO 847 663 and EP-BO 847 670 become known. In the first document is disclosed a flat panel speaker for sounding a passenger compartment in to use a vehicle. In the second example is a display screen is described consisting of a panel with a lichtre ^¬ inflecting or light emitting surface, in which the panel is used as the sound-emitting element of an area-chenlautsprechers. A disadvantage of the prior art is that two systems must be instal ^¬ for sound and sufficient illumination, for example, a room instal ^¬ .

EP 1 122 974 A1 discloses a surface loudspeaker integrated in a lighting device. The disadvantage of this is that in the lighting device, which is a first functional system, an acoustic second au ^¬ tark working functional system must be integrated.

Object of the present invention is to provide an ambient lighting device of the type mentioned, which allows the functionality of a Be ^¬ sound system with less effort.

At an ambient lighting device of the aforementioned type this object is characterized according to the invention solves ge ^¬ that the light source is directed as a sound-emitting element ^¬ forth. Advantageously, two fundamentally different supply systems for, for example, buildings, namely the optical and the acoustic supply, are provided here by means of a common device for light and sound. This saves installation space, material and costs. According to the invention a light source or a cluster of light sources can carry the same time for active sound output at ^¬ or used.

It is expedient that the illuminant is associated with at least one electro-mechanical transducer, the him as electrical input signals supplied audio signals in mechanical

Changes vibrations, which are convertible by means of the bulb to acoustically effective vibrations. This preferred embodiment of the ambient lighting according to the invention The device makes use of the principle of area loudspeakers as they are already known from EP 0 847 670 B1, EP 0 847 663 B1 and from EP 1 122 974 A1. In this case, mechanical vibrations in the luminous means are preferably generated as transversal bending oscillations.

Preferably, the at least one transducer is connected upstream of an electronic ^¬-specific signal processing unit, by means of which non-linearities are compensated in the acoustic transfer characteristic of the luminous means or by means of which a desired acoustic transfer characteristic of the lighting device is adjustable. The frequency response of a luminous means used here as a "surface speaker" is determined by the mechanical properties of the luminous means, which is used as a sound-emitting element, and by a number and a position of the converter applied thereto. This frequency response typically has Nichtli ^¬ nearitäten, which led to a sound distortion in the sound radiation in certain frequency ranges. So that the light source speech, music, sounds and sounds can deliver distortion-free, the converters upstream of the electronic signal processing unit. The audio signals are processing unit in the electronic signal frequency dependent ^¬ filtered collinear total an acoustic system with an Ii to provide a perceptually favorable and / or a predefined transmission characteristic.

For a universal utility and a fle ible ^¬ adaptation to different environmental conditions to the electromechanical transducer and the electronic signal processing unit is preferably an amplifier connected between ^¬. The transmitted audio signals are adjusted in the upstream amplifier to a signal strength corresponding to the required volume before they are fed to the at least one electromechanical converter.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the electronic signal processing unit to a digital Sig ^¬ nalprozessor, which is formed for storing a correction function of the lighting means and for pre-processing the audio signals supplied to it according to the correction function. The use of a digital signal processor for the electronic pre-processing of the audio signals allows the storage of a previously determined transfer function of the system of sound-emitting element and electromechanical converters applied thereto. Depending on the material, size, thickness and voltage conditions of the luminaire, as well as the number, type and position of the transducers, the specific acoustic transfer function of this configuration can be determined for each configuration. This Übertra ^¬ cleaning function is preferably stored in the memory of the digital signal processor wherein the signal processor is programmed to input audio signals are filtered in accordance with egg ^grains for stored transfer function inverse pronounced correction function it, whereby, for example, non-linearities are compensated in the transfer function. As a result, for example, a designer of such ambient lighting devices according to the invention has a multiplicity of combinations of lighting means which can be used as sound-emitting elements and wall- ^mounted sensors. Such a combination of bulbs, transducers and the necessary structural facilities meet the required tonal requirements today.

In a further expedient embodiment of the invention, the electronic signal processing unit has an analog filter device. Since pure digital signal processing units can be costly, can with the construction of a control unit from case to case, the corrective ^¬ turfunktion with an analog operational amplifier, instead of or in addition to the digital signal processor can be realized.

In a very robust optional embodiment of the invention, the signal processing unit has a passive FiI- on. A passive filter device consists for example of LCR filters and is among other things immune to EMC influences.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the ambient illumination device according to the invention, a wireless transmission path is provided for signal transmission between the electronic signal processing unit and the amplifier upstream of the converter. This wireless Ü bertragungsstrecke is can not be arranged in un ^¬ indirect proximity to the lamps of very particular advantage when playing for reasons of space in or on the processing device Umgebungsbeleuch- ^¬ at the signal processing unit. If a connection by means of audio cables can not be established without further or only after constructively complicated measures, then the preprocessed audio signals can preferably be transmitted through the wireless transmission link.

It is expedient that the wireless transmission link is designed as an infrared link.

In an alternative embodiment, the wireless transmission link is designed as a radio link.

In a preferred embodiment variant of the invention, the luminous means has a single light source, in particular ^¬ sondere a large-area, one-piece and / or homogeneous light source. An illuminant with a single light source is typically acterized by a large surface charak ^¬, which advantageously a sound output accommodates ^¬. A light source with only a single light source is, for example, a neon tube.

Since there are already a multiplicity of different types of illuminants available today, it is advantageous in an alternative embodiment that the luminous means comprises a plurality of light elements, preferably a plurality of segments which are combined in a segment-like manner into a matrix. has sources. Several, for example, parallel neon tubes or neon bars glued to a structural unit correspond to a light source with several light sources.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the luminous means has a carrier device with at least one light source, preferably a light-emitting diode, wherein the light source (s) and the carrier device form a vibratory structural unit. Thus, with pre ^¬ in part at least one light source using the preferably fixed to their support means are used for sound output. Especially with the use of LED 's you can save up to 90% of the energy requirement with the same brightness as alternative illuminants. LEDs are semiconductor materials that can shine in many characteristic colors when current flows through them. Moreover, they are more robust and durable than other light ^¬ middle and use efficiently the energy because they produce less heat.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the ambient lighting device according to the invention, the luminous means has organic light-emitting diodes. A possible cell structure of organic light-emitting diodes,

Called OLED, consists of a stack of thin organic layers sandwiched between a transparent anode and a metallic cathode. The provision of such organic transistors made of polymer foils makes it possible to produce thin, large-area and at the same time flexible light sources which can emit light under the control of electroluminescence. OLEDs can both designed as a sound radiating element support ^¬ layer applied, as well as a flexible, flexurally rigid element, which can be excited sound emission be used. In terms of good indoor illumination from, for example, ceiling lights, it is for many embodiments of the invention advantageous that the luminous means is pronounced surface, preferably a radiation-active surface in the loading range from 10 cm times 10 cm to 5 m times 5 m, ^¬ rule particular Zvi 30 cm by 30 cm and 1 m by 1 m.

In addition, the ambient lighting device for rooms and outdoor areas preferably has an attachment disk, which lies in the beam path of the light and is prepared as a sound-emitting element. Such an ambient lighting ^{device according to the} invention has an attachment disk, which is preferably arranged directly in front of the lighting means.

It is expedient that the attachment disc is assigned at least one electromechanical transducer which converts audio signals supplied to it as electrical input signals into mechanical oscillations which can be converted to acoustically effective vibrations by means of the attachment disc.

Advantageously, the ambient lighting device according to the invention can be used as a public address system for a room or an outdoor area. As mentioned above the ambient lighting device can be used in a dual role as an illumination device and a public address system ver ^¬ be spent. It is for the operation of such Kombina ^¬ tion system not necessary to operate both functions simultaneously. The ambient lighting device can also be used as a public address system if the ambient lighting device does not emit light for illuminating.

Preferred but not limiting Ausführungsbei ^¬ play the invention will now be explained based on the drawing nä- forth. For clarity, the drawing is not drawn to scale, and certain features are shown only schematically ^¬ tisiert. In detail, the shows 1 shows a ceiling light prepared ambient lighting device,

1 shows in a schematic representation as the first embodiment, an ambient lighting device 1, which is prepared as a ceiling light and according to the invention illuminates the underlying space and at the same time supplied with sound. An approximately 70 cm wide and 120 cm long Flä ^¬ Chig pronounced light source 2 is the left side of a first bulb holder 2a and the right side held by a second bulb holder 2b. The light-emitting means 2 is shown in a side view. The light source 2 works on the principle of a neon tube, except that in this example, virtually a "neon plate" is present. About the bulb holders 2a and 2b, the bulb 2 is supplied simultaneously with an electrical supply voltage.

In the exemplary embodiment of the ambient lighting device 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1, the lighting means 2 is prepared as a sound-emitting element. Since the sound-emitting element, so the light-emitting means 2, is designed flat and rigid, it is to transversal Bie ^¬ vibrations and thus stimulated to the sound radiation. The inside of a housing (not shown) of the ambient lighting device 1 and / or the "back" or upper Side - the side facing the ceiling - the bulb can be designed to achieve a better light output reflective or reflective. The electroacoustic transformer 3 can be located on the light source 2, as shown in FIG 1, or on the backside mirroring.

On the upper side of the luminous means 2, which is directed to the ceiling or upwards, two electromechanical transducers 8 are arranged, which are a permanent magnet system and a

May have voice coil or may be designed as electrostatic wall ^¬ ler or as a piezo transducer. The elec- romechanischen converter 8 are driven in a parallel circuit of individual signal lines by a signal processing unit 12 so that the converter 8 of the Au ^¬ audio link a signal source 11, which communicates with the signal processing unit 12 in connection, mechanically vibrate. By fixing, by means of a thermosetting adhesive, the transducer 8 on the lamp 2, this is excited to bending vibrations. Join the bulb 2 when

Performing transverse bending vibrations in resonance, the bulb produces 2 tones and sounds.

In order in a frequency response the best possible approximation to the desired transfer characteristic of the system - at ^¬ play, a linear or psychoacoustic Cheap ^¬ transmission characteristic - of transducers 8 and light source 2 to reach the audio signals of the signal source 11 are first supplied to the signal processing unit 12, the structure of which and function will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG 5.

For a high-quality sound reproduction function of the ambient lighting device 1, which functions as a space illuminating device in a dual function and as a surface speaker, a number of parameters are critical. Of these the most part structurally-related parameters, it is dependent on how individual frequencies of the transversa ^¬ len bending waves propagate in the bulbs. Play it not only its shape and dimensions, but also its mass and rigidity play a role. It also depends on how it is clamped. Especially in the present case, in which the lighting means is a component of a lamp, this can not be formed solely in terms of its acoustic properties. It is therefore to be assumed that in the conversion of the electrical audio signals supplied to the transducer 8 in sound waves which are emitted by the luminous means 2, in some cases considerable distortions can occur. In other words, this means that the transmission characteristic of the sound-emitting element, that is, of the luminous means 2, is not linear. A non-linear transfer function or a correction function can be detected metrologically or audibly for each specific combination of an ambient lighting device 1 with a light source 2 as "area loudspeaker". Thus, the transmission error caused in particular by the light source 2 is known and can be used to correct the function of the light source 2 as "area loudspeaker".

In FIG. 2, according to a second embodiment, a surface illuminant 5 is shown in a perspective view. The surface illuminant 5 has a single light source 4. The surface illuminant 5 is prepared according to the principle of a fluorescent lamp. Light ^¬ flashlight illuminants are similar to the bulbs of a neon tube lamp constructed. However, the desired white light consists of a mixture of innumerable light colors, while a gas discharge lamp or the associated light ^¬ emitting a line spectrum with a limited number of wavelengths (often only a single). It is an evacuated flat glass space used, which contains small amounts of mercury. Mercury emits light when, as is known to those skilled in the art, it uses electrons

"bombed" is. Because the surface illuminant 5 forms a constructional unit with the transformer 8, it can be used according to the invention for illuminating rooms and outdoor areas. chen be used and additionally operated as a Flächenlautspre ^¬ cher.

Similar to the surface illuminant 5 shown in FIG. 2, a segmented surface ^illuminant 6 is shown in FIG. 3 as the third exemplary embodiment. The segmented Flächenleuchtmit ^¬ tel 6 consists of eleven parallel permanently interconnected ^¬ bulbs bulbs 6a in rod form. A light-emitting segment 6a in each case represents a light source 4. The eleven light-emitting element segments 6a are joined together to form the planar light- ^{emitting means} 6. This construction also has a high bending stiffness so that the transformer 8 mechanical vibrations on the segmented surface of the bulb 6 transmits over ^¬. The individual lamp segments 6 need not be designed rectangular. However, they must be so be ^¬ create that they can forward vibration in itself. In addition, the connection with each other must be worked so that vibrations can be transmitted from one to the next lamp segment. The operation of a light-emitting segment 6a is similar to that of a neon tube or fluorescent tube.

In FIG 4 is also shown in perspective with a fourth embodiment, a planar illuminant. The areal lighting means is formed here by an LED Flächenleucht- medium 7 realized with a plurality of individual light sources 4, wherein a single light source 4 is formed by a single ^¬ ne, preferably white, LED. This plurality of LEDs is attached to a carrier device 7a, which acts as an acoustically effective sound-emitting element. It is also a construction conceivable in which, similar to FIG 3 matriform arranged and / or rod-like segments come to use ^¬ set. The plurality of LEDs can thus be combined without an additional carrier device 7a, so that they likewise form a sound-emitting element again. The transformer 8 of the LED surface illuminant 7 is glued to the upper ^¬ side of the support device 8. The individual LEDs 4 are arranged so that the light exits from the back and the bottom of the support device 7a.

The already described signal processing unit 12 can be constructed in various ways. Depending on the application, it may be beneficial to the signal processing unit 12 len from Spu ^¬ build capacitors, resistors or similar components with the same functionality. Also is an active Sig ^¬ nalverarbeitungseinheit with a power supply device imaginable. A so-called active signal processing unit is constructed, for example, from analog filters or digital filters. Hereinafter, a digital signal processing unit 12 will be described.

The configuration of the Signalverarbei ^¬ shown in FIG 5 processing unit 12 used to advantage in the progress Ent ^¬ development of digital signal processing. Powerful digital signal processors have long been used extensively for "real time" applications. The use of digital signal processors, their uses and designing individual to achieve functions can here presupposed already known as the ^¬. In the schematic representation of FIG. 4, therefore, the circuit configuration or the programming of the digital signal processor 15 is not specified in detail. Usually has a digital signal processor 15 in addition to a CPU, the actual control unit, a program, a data and an input / output memory, these units are interconnected via a bus system with parallel address, control and data lines. The ability to store in the program memory a specific, tailored to the individual application program, upgrades the digital signal processor 15 to a universally ^ein¬ settable electronic circuit. In the present case, it is advantageous to use a filter in the form of FIR (Finite Impulse

Response) filters, which can be implemented in a known manner and complex transfer functions for "real time" requests. Within the framework of constricting solution, the signal processing unit 12 gegebe ^¬ appropriate, also comprise a plurality of digital signal processors 15 which then operate in parallel, if very high Anfor ^¬ requirements are imposed on the transmission quality of the audio signals for egg NEN downstream area lights speaker 20th

Due to the large number of conceivable materials and material combinations for lighting means combined with the plurality of differently positionable electromechanical transducers 8, which are preferably designed by working on the electrodynamic principle voice coil, there is an equally large number of different Übertragungsscharakteris ^¬ techniques. In addition, the most diverse dimensions and boundary conditions (clamping of these oscillating lamps), all of which have more or less strong non-linearities in their transfer function, leading to the known sound distortions.

To correct these transmission errors, the electronic signal processing unit 12 is applied. According to FIG 5, the audio signals of a signal source 11 are supplied, for example, a tone ^¬ strip or cassette player of the signal processing unit 12th Alternatively, the signal source 11 can but also a CD or DVD player to be, wherein the entspre ^¬ sponding components of the signal conversion from analog to digital and vice versa can be omitted. The components which are combined in a housing, not shown, of the signal processing unit 12 represent, in particular, an electronic filter whose transfer function is formed inversely to the frequency response of the transmission characteristic of the luminous means 2 or the areal loudspeaker 20.

Inverse formed here means that at locations at or loading range in the frequency response or in which a signal strength of a limit value makes falls below or exceeds the Cor ^¬ correction function adaptation. It is doing a good approximation of a desired frequency response for the aim is the entire system. Desirable is beispielswei ^¬ se a linear transmission behavior for hi-fi applications or for background music, an additional loudness correction may be required. For voice transmission, a "center boost" may be desired.

The signal processing unit 12 has as an input ^¬ circuit a sample memory unit 13, which is often referred to as a "sample and hold" circuit. Thus, the signal supplied from the signal source 11 as an analog signal Audio ^¬ signal is sampled by a predetermined sampling theorem. The respective sampled instantaneous value is buffered and fed to an analog-to-digital converter 14. This converts the serially offered instantaneous values of the audio signal into binary digital signals. The digital signals are supplied to the digital signal processor 15, is performed in the mathematically required for correction of the frequency response Sig ^¬ nalformung. At the output of the digital signal processor 15, a digital-to-analog converter 16 is connected, with which the binary output signal of the digital signal processor 15 is again converted into an analog signal. This analog signal is fed in parallel via an amplifier 17 to the electromagnetic transducers 8 via signal lines.

In addition to the wired connection 21 between the signal processing unit 12 and the surface-lit loudspeaker 20 shown in FIG. 5, it can be advantageous to provide a radio link or an infrared connection as a wireless connection 22 between the signal processing unit 12 and the areal loudspeaker 20. This is particularly advantageous if the housing of the signal processing unit 12 can not be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the areal loudspeaker, ie in particular the luminous means 2 and the transducers 8 mounted thereon, for structural reasons. A Wi-Fi is possible. 6 shows similar to FIG 1 in a schematic depicting ^¬ lung as the sixth embodiment, a processing device Umgebungsbeleuch- Ia which is prepared as a ceiling light according to the invention and the space below it off lights up and simultaneously supplied with sound.

In the exemplary embodiment of the ambient illumination device 1a according to the invention shown in FIG. 6, an additional attachment disk 24 is additionally manufactured as a sound-emitting element. Since the sound-emitting element, so the attachment ^¬ disc 24, is designed flat and rigid, it is excitable to transverse bending vibrations and thus to the sound radiation. Analogous to the arrangement of the transducers 8 from FIG. 1, the transducers 8 are arranged on the attachment plate 24 of the ambient illumination device 1a.

FIG 7 shows an alternative embodiment to that already shown in FIG 5 signal processing unit 12. The signal processing unit 12 shown in FIG 5 has, instead of a digital signal processor and its associated A / D-wall ^¬ learning an analog filter device 100 or a passive filter device 101. The analog filter device 100 is realized by means of an operational amplifier. The ^passive filter device is realized by means of an LRC combination.

The illuminants shown by way of example in the figures are shown as flat, uniformly thick surfaces for purely graphic reasons. However, in alternative embodiments, the bulbs may take on any shapes and forms. Together, all this is that they can be excited to vibrations perceived by the human ear as akusti ^¬ signals are available. A beyond this continuous exporting ^¬ approximate example deals with the saving supply or signal cables. For the operation of one or more room illumination sources of an artificial lighting arrangement, control lines are additionally provided in addition to the mains voltage supply. These control lines are needed for a compensation of the lighting arrangement according to predetermined parameters. In the majority of applications, these electrical lines are hidden from view, in larger lighting systems, for example, cable ducts and the like are provided for the wiring. Thus, the power supply is already directly available, and also means are available for correspondingly supplying the signal processing unit or the amplifier with the necessary audio signals. By using the control lines as audio signal lines in lighting systems, the audio signal lines are saved to the preferably used amplifiers.

The exemplary embodiments have in common that the light-generating illuminant oscillates acoustically active.
