Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte, die insbesondere zum Beleuchten von Geh- bzw. Fußwegen, Fußgänger-Überwegen oder Plätzen vorgesehen ist. Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Leuchte, welche zur ergänzenden Verwendung bei Straßenleuchten vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to a luminaire, which is intended in particular for illuminating footpaths, pedestrian crossings or squares. In particular, the present invention relates to a luminaire, which is provided for complementary use in street lights.

Die Beleuchtung von Straßen erfolgt üblicherweise durch Leuchten, welche zu beiden Seiten oder auf einer Seite einer zu beleuchtenden Straße angeordnet sind und einen Leuchtenmast aufweisen, an dessen oberen Ende ein Leuchtenkopf mit darin befindlichen Leuchtmitteln angeordnet ist. Der Leuchtenkopf ist bspw. mit Hilfe entsprechender optischer Mittel derart gestaltet, dass das von den Leuchtmitteln abgegebene Licht in optimaler Weise auf die zu beleuchtende Straße gerichtet ist.The lighting of roads is usually done by lights, which are arranged on both sides or on one side of a street to be illuminated and have a lamp post, at the upper end of a lamp head is arranged with light sources therein. The lamp head is, for example, designed with the aid of appropriate optical means such that the light emitted by the lamps light is directed in an optimal manner to the street to be illuminated.

In diesem Zusammenhang ergibt sich das Problem, dass oftmals auch ein schmaler, neben der zu beleuchtenden Straße befindlicher Bereich oder ein kurzer Abschnitt der Straße in besonderer Weise ausgeleuchtet werden soll. Hierbei kann es sich bspw. um einen an der Straße befindlichen Gehweg oder einen Fußgänger-Überweg handeln, wobei aus dem Stand der Technik unterschiedliche Lösungen bekannt sind, welche schematisch in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellt sind.In this context, there is the problem that often even a narrow, in addition to the street to be illuminated area or a short section of the street should be lit in a special way. This may be, for example, a sidewalk located on the street or a pedestrian crossing, where different solutions are known from the prior art, which are schematically illustrated in FIGS 6 and 7 are shown.

Bei der bereits bekannten Variante gemäß Fig. 6 ist die Optik des Leuchtenkopfs 101 derart ausgestaltet, dass das von den Leuchtmitteln erzeugte Licht über zwei getrennte Abstrahlbereiche A und B abgegeben wird. Der größere Abstrahlbereich A dient dabei zur Ausleuchtung des Straßenbereichs I, während hingegen der zweite Bereich B den an die Straße angrenzenden Gehwegbereich II ausleuchtet. In diesem Fall wird also das von der Leuchte 100 abgegebene Licht in zwei Anteile aufgeteilt, um sowohl die Straße als auch den Gehweg auszuleuchten. Hierdurch kann zwar auf den Einsatz zusätzlicher Leuchtmittel verzichtet werden, auf der anderen Seite allerdings muss die Leuchte 100 dann derart ausgelegt werden, dass die in den ersten Bereich A abgegebene Lichtmenge ausreichend hoch ist, um die Straße in gewünschter Weise zu beleuchten.In the already known variant according to Fig. 6 the optics of the lamp head 101 is configured such that the light generated by the lighting means is emitted via two separate radiation areas A and B. The larger radiating area A serves to illuminate the road area I, while the second area B illuminates the pavement area II adjoining the road. In this case, therefore, the light emitted by the lamp 100 light is divided into two parts to illuminate both the road and the sidewalk. Although this makes it possible to dispense with the use of additional bulbs, on the other hand, however, the luminaire 100 must then be designed in such a way that the first area A emitted amount of light is sufficiently high to illuminate the road in the desired manner.

Um das über den Leuchtenkopf 101 abgegebene Licht ausschließlich zur Beleuchtung der Straße nutzen zu können, wird deshalb oftmals auch die in Fig. 7 dargestellte zweite Variante eingesetzt, bei der an dem Leuchtenmast 102 der Straßenleuchte 100 eine zusätzliche Leuchte 105 montiert ist. In diesem Fall dient also das von dem Leuchtenkopf 101 abgegebene Licht dazu, über den Abstrahlbereich A den Straßenbereich I auszuleuchten, während hingegen mit Hilfe der zusätzlichen Leuchte 105 der zweite Abstrahlbereich B generiert wird, über den der angrenzende Gehwegbereich II ausgeleuchtet wird. Bei dieser zusätzlichen Leuchte 105 handelt es sich um eine Leuchte, die mit Hilfe eines Arms an dem Leuchtenmast 102 montiert ist. Dieses nachträgliche Montieren einer zusätzlichen Leuchte ist mit einem verhältnismäßig hohen Aufwand verbunden.In order to use the light emitted via the lamp head 101 exclusively to illuminate the street, therefore, often in Fig. 7 used second variant shown, in which on the lamp post 102 of the street lamp 100, an additional lamp 105 is mounted. In this case, therefore, the light emitted by the lamp head 101 serves to illuminate the road area I via the emission area A, whereas the second emission area B by means of which the additional lamp 105 is generated, via which the adjacent walkway area II is illuminated. This additional lamp 105 is a lamp which is mounted on the lamppost 102 by means of an arm. This subsequent mounting an additional light is associated with a relatively high cost.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nunmehr die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine neuartige und verbesserte Möglichkeit anzugeben, bei Straßenleuchten der oben beschriebenen Art eine ergänzende Beleuchtung eines benachbarten Bereichs erzielen zu können.The present invention is based on the object to provide a novel and improved way to be able to achieve a complementary illumination of an adjacent area in street lamps of the type described above.

Strasssenleuchten mit zusätzlichen Lichtquellen sind in den Druckschrifen: GB2399125A , US2002/0145878A1 und DE102005049480B3 offenbart.Street lights with additional light sources are in the print guides: GB2399125A . US2002 / 0145878A1 and DE102005049480B3 disclosed.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte, welche die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a luminaire having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht auf der Idee, eine Leuchte zu verwenden, welche ring- bzw. manschettenartig ausgestaltet, derart, dass sie am Außenumfang bspw. des Masts einer Straßenleuchte befestigt werden kann. Ferner sind an oder in dem Leuchtengehäuse mehrere punktförmige Lichtquellen angeordnet, welche Licht in verschiedene Richtungen abstrahlen. Hierzu ist der Abstrahlwinkel für die Lichtquellen unterschiedlich ausgestattet.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea of using a luminaire which is of ring-shaped or cuff-shaped design such that it can be fastened to the outer circumference of, for example, the mast of a street lamp. Further, a plurality of point-shaped light sources are arranged on or in the lamp housing, which emit light in different directions. For this purpose, the emission angle for the light sources is differently equipped.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dementsprechend eine Leuchte insbesondere zum Beleuchten von Gehwegen, Fußgänger-Überwegen oder Plätzen vorgeschlagen, mit einem ringartigen Leuchtengehäuse, welches dazu ausgebildet ist, am Außenumfang eines Trägerelements, insbesondere an einem Straßenbeleuchtungsmast befestigt zu werden, wobei an oder in dem Leuchtengehäuse mehrere im Wesentlichen punktförmige Lichtquellen angeordnet sind, welche Licht in verschiedene Richtungen abstrahlen.According to the invention, a luminaire is proposed in particular for illuminating walkways, pedestrian crossings or squares, with an annular luminaire housing which is designed to be fastened to the outer circumference of a carrier element, in particular to a street lighting mast. wherein on or in the lamp housing a plurality of substantially point-shaped light sources are arranged, which emit light in different directions.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht also wiederum auf der Idee, eine übliche Straßenleuchte mit einer zusätzlichen Leuchte zu ergänzen, um bspw. einen neben der Straße befindlichen Bereich ausleuchten zu können. Durch die Verwendung eines ringartigen Leuchtengehäuses besteht nunmehr allerdings die Möglichkeit, die Zusatzleuchte sehr kompakt zu gestalten und ferner auch die Montage an dem bereits vorhandenen Leuchtenmast zu vereinfachen. Darüber hinaus weist die Leuchte auch aus lichttechnischer Sicht gesehen deutliche Vorteile auf, da durch die Verwendung mehrerer einzelner Lichtquellen die Möglichkeit besteht, die Abstrahleigenschaften der Leuchte in optimaler Weise an die jeweilige Situation anzupassen. So können insbesondere ohne Weiteres asymmetrische Lichtabstrahlbereiche geschaffen werden, mit denen bspw. Gehwege über einen längeren Bereich hinweg in optimaler Weise ausgeleuchtet werden können.The solution according to the invention is thus again based on the idea of completing a conventional street lamp with an additional luminaire in order, for example, to be able to illuminate an area located next to the street. By using a ring-like light housing, however, there is now the possibility of making the extra light very compact and also to simplify the installation on the existing light pole. In addition, the light also has clear advantages seen from a lighting technology perspective, since the use of multiple individual light sources, the possibility to adapt the radiation characteristics of the lamp in an optimal manner to the particular situation. Thus asymmetrical light emission ranges can be created, for example, with which, for example, sidewalks can be illuminated optimally over a relatively long range.

Bei den Lichtquellen der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte handelt es sich vorzugsweise um LEDs bzw. Leuchtdioden, wobei den Lichtquellen jeweils eine Optik zugeordnet sein kann, um die Lichtabgabe in einen gewünschten Bereich einstellen zu können.The light sources of the luminaire according to the invention are preferably LEDs or light-emitting diodes, it being possible for the light sources each to be associated with optics in order to be able to set the light output to a desired range.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, die Lichtquellen - im Hinblick auf eine Zentralachse des Leuchtengehäuses - überwiegend an einer Seite des Gehäuses anzuordnen, wobei diese Konfiguration insbesondere dann von Vorteil ist, wenn eine asymmetrische Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik für die Leuchte gewünscht ist.It is possible to arrange the light sources - with respect to a central axis of the lamp housing - predominantly on one side of the housing, this configuration is particularly advantageous if an asymmetric Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik is desired for the lamp.

Erfindungsgemäß wird auch eine Beleuchtungsanordnung bestehend aus einer Stehleuchte, insbesondere einer Straßenleuchte, mit einem Leuchtenmast sowie einer an dem Leuchtenmast befestigten zusätzlichen Leuchte vorgeschlagen, wobei die zusätzliche Leuchte wie oben beschrieben ausgestaltet ist. Hierbei ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die zusätzliche Leuchte an dem Leuchtenmast in einer Höhe von etwa 0,9 m bis 1,2 m angeordnet ist. Wie später beschrieben wird, führt dies bei der Ausleuchtung des zu beleuchtenden Bereichs zu besonders positiven Eigenschaften im Hinblick auf die empfundene Helligkeit.According to the invention, a lighting arrangement is proposed consisting of a floor lamp, in particular a street lamp, with a lamp post and attached to the lamp post additional lamp, the additional lamp is configured as described above. It is provided in particular that the additional lamp is arranged on the lamppost at a height of about 0.9 m to 1.2 m. As will be described later, in the illumination of the area to be illuminated, this leads to particularly positive characteristics with regard to the perceived brightness.

Letztendlich wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung eine Leuchte vorgeschlagen, mit der in optimaler Weise ergänzend bspw. zu einer Straßenleuchte ein daran angrenzender Bereich - bspw. ein Gehweg oder auch ein Fußgänger-Überweg - ausgeleuchtet werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte zeichnet sich hierbei durch besonders positive lichttechnische Eigenschaften aus.Ultimately, a luminaire is proposed by the inventive solution, with the optimally complementary, for example, to a street lamp an adjacent area - eg. A walkway or a pedestrian crossing - can be illuminated. The luminaire according to the invention is characterized by particularly positive photometric properties.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte und allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 versehende erfindungsgemäße Leuchte ist dazu vorgesehen, an einem zylinderförmigen Trägerelement montiert zu werden. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich bei dem Trägerelement um den Mast 102 einer angedeuteten Straßenleuchte 100. Die Leuchte 1 soll hierbei am Außenumfang des Masts 102 montiert werden und weist dementsprechend ein Gehäuse 2 auf, welches - wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt - ringartig bzw. manschettenartig ausgestaltet ist. Die kreisrunde Öffnung 3 im Zentrum des Gehäuses 2 weist einen Querschnitt auf, der in etwa dem Querschnitt des Leuchtenmasts 102 entspricht. Da die Leuchte 1 vorzugsweise nachträglich an dem Leuchtenmast 102 befestigt werden soll, kann das Leuchtengehäuse 2 in mehrere Segmente unterteilt sein, welche jeweils auf die Außenseite des Masts 102 aufgebracht werden, so dass sich letztendlich die ringförmige Struktur ergibt. Denkbar wäre bspw. auch, das Gehäuse in zwei Halbringe zu unterteilen, die an einer Seite über ein Gelenk derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass sie im auseinander geklappten Zustand in einfacher Weise an den Mast 102 angesetzt und dann zu der Ringform zusammengeklappt werden können. Ferner wäre es selbstverständlich auch denkbar, das Gehäuse derart zu gestalten, dass die Leuchte an Trägerelementen mit anderen Querschnitten, beispielsweise an im Querschnitt quadratischen Leuchtenmasten befestigt werden kann.In the Fig. 1 illustrated and generally provided with the reference numeral 1 inventive luminaire is intended to be mounted on a cylindrical support member. In the illustrated embodiment, it is in the support member to the mast 102 of an indicated street lamp 100. The lamp 1 is hereby mounted on the outer circumference of the mast 102 and accordingly has a housing 2, which - as in Fig. 2 shown - ring-like or cuff-shaped configured. The circular opening 3 in the center of the housing 2 has a cross section which corresponds approximately to the cross section of the lamp post 102. Since the luminaire 1 is preferably to be subsequently attached to the luminaire mast 102, the luminaire housing 2 can be subdivided into a plurality of segments, which are each applied to the outside of the mast 102, so that ultimately the annular structure results. It would also be conceivable, for example, to subdivide the housing into two half-rings which are connected to one another via a joint in such a way that they can be easily attached to the mast 102 in the unfolded state and then folded into a ring shape. Furthermore, it would of course also be conceivable to design the housing in such a way that the luminaire can be fastened to support elements with other cross-sections, for example square-shaped luminaire masts.

Im Inneren des Leuchtengehäuses 2 sind die Komponenten zur Stromversorgung und Ansteuerung der einzelnen Lichtquellen 10 der Leuchte 1 angeordnet, wobei auch eine Unterbringung dieser Komponenten im Leuchtenmast selbst denkbar wäre. Bei den Lichtquellen 10 handelt es sich insbesondere um punktförmige Lichtquellen, bspw. um LEDs, welche entweder in dem Gehäuse 2 oder an dessen Außenseite angeordnet sein können. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die LEDs innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet, wobei die Lichtabgabe über an dem Gehäuse 2 vorgesehene Öffnungen 11 erfolgt, in denen jeweils transparente Abstrahlelemente angeordnet sind. Diese Abstrahlelemente können insbesondere als Linsen ausgebildet sein, um das von den punktförmigen Lichtquellen abgegebene Licht in bestimmte Bereiche zu lenken. Auch die Nutzung anderer Optiken wie topfartiger Reflektoren oder dgl. wäre sinnvoll, um die Lichtabgabe der einzelnen Lichtquellen 10 in gewünschter Weise zu beeinflussen.Inside the luminaire housing 2, the components for power supply and control of the individual light sources 10 of the lamp 1 are arranged, with an accommodation of these components in the lamppost itself would be conceivable. The light sources 10 are, in particular, punctiform light sources, for example LEDs, which can be arranged either in the housing 2 or on the outside thereof. In the illustrated embodiment, the LEDs are arranged within the housing 2, wherein the light output via provided on the housing 2 openings 11 takes place, in each of which transparent radiating elements are arranged. In particular, these radiating elements can be designed as lenses in order to direct the light emitted by the point-shaped light sources into specific areas. The use of other optics such as pot-like reflectors or the like. Would be useful to affect the light output of the individual light sources 10 in the desired manner.

Bei dem in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 sind die Lichtquellen 10 im Hinblick auf die zentrale Achse der Leuchte 1 im Wesentlichen auf einer Seite des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet. Eine derartige Konfiguration eignet sich insbesondere für Fälle, in denen eine asymmetrische Lichtabstrahlung gewünscht ist. Diese kann - wie in Fig. 3 dargstellt - insbesondere dazu genutzt werden, längliche Bereiche bspw. eines Gehwegs auszuleuchten.In the in the Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment of the lamp 1 according to the invention, the light sources 10 are arranged with respect to the central axis of the lamp 1 substantially on one side of the housing 2. Such a configuration is particularly suitable for cases in which asymmetric light emission is desired. This can - as in Fig. 3 dargstellt - especially used to illuminate elongated areas, for example, a walkway.

Fig. 3 zeigt hierzu zwei an der Seite einer Straße 110 angeordnete Straßenleuchten 100, über die in erster Linie die Straße 110 ausgeleuchtet werden soll. Am Mast jeder Straßenleuchte 100 ist ferner jeweils eine erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 angeordnet, die den neben der Straße 110 befindlichen Bereich 111 eines Gehwegs ausleuchten soll. Mit Hilfe der Lichtquellen, die lediglich an einer Seite des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet und deren horizontale Abstrahlwinkel geeignet gewählt sind, werden dabei Abstrahlbereiche C erzeugt, die in einer Längsrichtung entlang der Straße 110 eine deutlich größere Aussendung aufweisen, als in der Richtung quer hierzu. Eine derartige asymmetrische Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik ist in besonders vorteilhafter Weise dazu geeignet, Gehwege effektiv auszuleuchten. So können die horizontalen Abstrahlwinkel der einzelnen Lichtquellen der Leuchte 1 insbesondere derart eingestellt werden, dass die Abstrahlbereiche C nahezu nahtlos ineinander übergehen, so dass letztendlich eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung des Gehwegs 111 über die gesamte Länge erzielt wird. Diese wird u.a. dadurch erreicht, dass die äußeren Lichtquellen Licht unter einem - gegenüber der Horizontalen - flacheren Winkel abstrahlen als die mittleren Lichtquellen. Fig. 3 For this purpose, two street lights 100 arranged on the side of a road 110, via which the road 110 is to be illuminated in the first place, are shown. On the mast of each street lamp 100, a luminaire 1 according to the invention is further arranged in each case, which is intended to illuminate the located next to the road 110 area 111 of a walkway. With the aid of the light sources, which are arranged only on one side of the housing 2 and whose horizontal radiation angles are suitably selected, radiating regions C are generated which have a significantly greater emission in a longitudinal direction along the road 110 than in the direction transverse thereto. Such an asymmetrical light emission characteristic is particularly suitable for effectively illuminating sidewalks. Thus, the horizontal radiation angle of the individual light sources of the luminaire 1 can be adjusted in particular such that the radiation regions C merge into each other almost seamlessly, so that ultimately a uniform illumination of the sidewalk 111 over the entire length is achieved. This is achieved, inter alia, by the fact that the outer light sources emit light at a lower angle than the middle light sources, as compared to the horizontal.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 ist also vorgesehen, dass die Lichtquellen 10 ausschließlich bzw. überwiegend an einer Seite des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet sind und ferner deren horizontaler Abstrahlwinkel verschieden ist, so dass letztendlich eine asymmetrische Abstrahlcharakteristik erzielt wird.In the case of the luminaire 1 according to the invention, it is thus provided that the light sources 10 are arranged exclusively or predominantly on one side of the housing 2 and, furthermore, their horizontal emission angle is different, so that ultimately an asymmetrical emission characteristic is achieved.

Die Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 an dem Trägerelement erfolgt vorzugsweise in einer Höhe h von etwa 0,9 m bis 1,2 m. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein weiterer positiver Effekt, der schematisch in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist. Die verhältnismäßig geringe Montagehöhe der Leuchte 1 hat nämlich zur Folge, dass das von den einzelnen Lichtquellen abgegebene Licht unter einen verhältnismäßig flachen Winkel α auf die Oberfläche beispielsweise des auszuleuchtenden Gehwegs trifft. Im Vergleich hierzu würde das Licht gemäß den Fig. 6 und 7 wie schematisch dargstellt unter deutlich größeren Winkeln β auf die Oberfläche auftreffen.The assembly of the lamp 1 according to the invention on the carrier element is preferably carried out at a height h of about 0.9 m to 1.2 m. This results in another positive effect, which is schematically shown in FIG Fig. 5 is shown. The relatively low mounting height of the lamp 1 has the consequence that the light emitted by the individual light sources at a relatively shallow angle α on the surface, for example, to be illuminated walkway. In comparison, the light would be in accordance with the 6 and 7 as schematically dargstellt striking at significantly larger angles β on the surface.

Die geringen Einfallswinkel α haben nunmehr allerdings zur Folge, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein reflektierter Lichtstrahl einen Beobachter 50 trifft, deutlich höher ist. Dies wiederum bedeutet, dass bei dem Beobachter 50 bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 der Eindruck einer höheren Helligkeit entsteht bzw. im Vergleich zu den bekannten Lösungen der Fig. 6 und 7 weniger Licht erforderlich ist, um bei dem Beobachter 50 den gleichen Helligkeitseindruck zu erzielen.However, the low angles of incidence α now have the consequence that the probability that a reflected light beam hits an observer 50 is significantly higher. This in turn means that the observer 50 when using the lamp 1 according to the invention gives the impression of a higher brightness or in comparison to the known solutions of the 6 and 7 less light is required to achieve the same brightness impression on the observer 50.

Letztendlich wird also durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung eine Leuchte geschaffen, welche hinsichtlich ihrer lichttechnischen Eigenschaften sowie aufgrund der vielfältigen Möglichkeiten zur Ausgestaltung des Lichtabstrahlbereichs deutliche Vorteile im Vergleich zu bislang bekannten Leuchten aufweist. Ferner kann die Leuchte ohne Weiteres an bereits existierenden Straßenleuchten befestigt werden. Da die in Größe und Form des manschettenartigen Gehäuses in einfacher Weise angepasst werden kann, bestehen auch hinsichtlich der Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Leuchte keine Einschränkungen.In the end, therefore, a luminaire is created by the solution according to the invention, which has significant advantages in comparison with hitherto known luminaires with regard to their lighting properties and because of the diverse possibilities for designing the light emission area. Furthermore, the lamp can be easily attached to existing street lights. Since the size and shape of the sleeve-like housing can be easily adapted, there are also no limitations with regard to the possible uses of the lamp.
