Definitions
- the invention relates to a pool lighting device.
- the document WO2005 / 108203 (SAVAGE ) teaches to use a heat conductive plate on which light-emitting diodes are mounted.
- the plate is arranged at the bottom of the support so as to be in contact with a trickle of water from the pool. This trickle of water allows to cool the plate as well as the electroluminescent diodes which are mounted on it.
- the small amount of water that stagnates behind the support does not effectively cool the light emitting diodes and they still end up overheating and degrade.
- the main purpose of the invention is to provide an improved swimming pool lighting device enabling efficient and rapid cooling of the light-emitting diodes so that the latter do not degrade.
- the plate By being arranged directly on the optics, the plate is now in direct contact with a large volume of non-stagnant water, which promotes heat exchange, so that said plate is cooled sufficiently quickly and efficiently so that the light-emitting diodes do not overheat. not and do not degrade.
- the reflection means acts as a backlight element, and allows to redirect all or part of the light flux generated by the light emitting diodes to the outside of the optics, and therefore to the water basin.
- the lighting device of the invention is intended to be immersed in the water of a swimming pool.
- it is intended to be fixed on the wall of a swimming pool. It can be installed in a specific niche made in a wall of the swimming pool or inserted into a brush socket or an outlet.
- the term "pool” should be understood to include not only traditional pools above ground or buried, but also any pools, spas or fountains.
- the lighting device (1) comprises a support (2) which is a rigid one-piece piece obtained by plastic molding, for example ABS or polycarbonate.
- the support (2) preferably has a concave parabolic shape whose front portion is open. It comprises an inner wall (20) and an outer wall (21).
- the support section (2) is preferably circular, but may be square, hexagonal or any other shape. In the case of a circular section, the largest diameter varies from 100 mm to 400 mm, preferably 220 mm.
- the thickness of the support (2) varies from 2 mm to 6 mm, preferably 4 mm.
- the inner wall (20) may include reinforcing ribs.
- the open front part of the support (2) is closed by an optic (5).
- the support (2) and the optics (5) delimit a hollow chamber (9).
- the rear of the support (2) is preferably provided with a tubular element (4) opening on either side of said support.
- the outer wall of this tubular element (4) can be threaded so that the support (2) can be screwed inside an existing discharge nozzle or brush socket and already installed in a wall of the pool.
- the tubular element (4) delimits a second sealed chamber (11) in which the connection between a power supply cable (10) and the light-emitting diodes (8) is made.
- the first chamber (9) and the second chamber (11) are adjacent, separated by a partition (22) sealed during molding of the support (2).
- the second chamber (11) is accessible directly from the rear of the support (2).
- the partition (22) sealingly integrates elements (23) for connecting the power supply cable (10) to the light-emitting diodes (8).
- connection elements (23) are typically metal connectors directly molded into the partition (22) or reported, and which open into each of the two chambers (9, 11).
- the connection elements comprise ends on which are fixed, for example by screwing, lugs electrically connected to the light emitting diodes (8) via one or more electrical cables (24).
- the connecting elements (23) comprise ends on which are fixed, for example by screwing, lugs electrically connected to the power supply cable (10).
- the inner wall of the second chamber (11) is threaded so as to receive a removable sleeve (26) which seals it tightly.
- the sheath (26) incorporates a tight seal (28) enclosing the power supply cable (10).
- This seal (28) seals the passage of the power supply cable (10) in the sleeve (26).
- the seal (28) is a deformable piece, typically made of rubber, of conical shape and inside which passes the power supply cable (10).
- the upper end of the sleeve (26) has an inner housing, also of conical shape but slightly smaller than the seal (28).
- the clamping member (29) which deforms the seal (28) to seal the passage of the power supply cable (10) in the sleeve (26).
- the clamping member (29) is preferably a nut screwed to the upper end of the sleeve (26). When screwing, this nut crushes the seal (28) in its housing, and deforming said seal seals between the power supply cable (10) and the sleeve (26).
- the optic (5) is made of glass or translucent or transparent plastic material. It has a convex parabolic shape and can incorporate facets allowing the homogeneous diffusion of the light and the mixture of the colors in the water.
- the optic (5) has a section that corresponds to that of the support (2). It is sealed in the open front part of the support (2). This fixation is achieved by screwing combined with one or more joints, by ultrasonic welding, by bonding, or any other technique suitable for the skilled person.
- the light-emitting diodes (8) are arranged on the front face (130) of at least one heat conducting plate (13).
- the plate (13) can have a circular, square, hexagonal or other shape and be composed of one or more pieces. It is made of metal, ceramic or any other heat conducting material suitable for the skilled person.
- Its rear face (131) may be coated with a layer of corrosion-resistant material such as paint layer, plastic layer, or the like, or else undergo a surface treatment such nitriding, chromating, plasma spraying, or other.

- the printed circuit (14) and the plate (13) can be fixed against each other by welding, gluing, screwing, riveting, or other.
- the light-emitting diodes (8) can, however, be directly attached to the front face (130) of the plate (13). In any case, the heat emitted by the light-emitting diodes (8) is discharged by the plate (13).
- Light-emitting diodes (8) can be monochrome or polychromatic. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to use so-called power diodes that generate a luminous flux much higher than conventional light emitting diodes. These power diodes generally have an electrical power greater than or equal to 0.1 Watt, some up to several tens of Watts.
- the illumination of the light-emitting diodes (8) is preferably controlled via an electronic management unit fixed on the printed circuit (14).
- This management unit which is in the form of a processor or a microprocessor, can be activated by remote control or directly programmed. The user has the possibility to generate according to his desire or programmed, many light effects possibly combined with color schemes.

- this transformer is disposed outside the device object of the invention and outside the water basin.
- the light-emitting diodes (8) and in particular the management unit are preferably fed via the power supply cable (10).
- the end of this cable is connected to a power source, typically the mains.
- the transformer can either be integrated directly into the power supply cable (10) or be attached. In the latter case, the power supply cable (10) connects to the transformer and it is the latter which is connected to the mains.
- the plate (13) is arranged directly on the optics (5) so that the light-emitting diodes (8) are located in the hollow chamber (9) and that all or part of its rear face (131) is located outside of said chamber to be directly in contact with the pool water.
- the plate (13) and the diodes (8) can thus be effectively cooled.
- the optic (5) has an orifice which is preferentially, but not necessarily, positioned in the center of said optic.
- a central hole provides a symmetrical and homogeneous illumination inside the optics.
- This orifice serves as a housing for the plate (13).
- the orifice may comprise a shoulder (50) ensuring the positioning of the plate (13). The holding in position is obtained by welding, gluing or screwing.
- a seal (51) seals the connection between the plate (13) and the optic (5).
- the plate (13) is directly molded in the optics (5) so that it is not necessary to provide a seal.
- the rear face (131) of the plate (13) can be flat ( figure 4 ) or have recessed and / or raised elements (135) ( figure 5 ). In the latter case, the heat exchange surface with the pool water is increased and the cooling of the light-emitting diodes (8) more efficient.
- the entire rear face (131) of the plate (13) is in contact with the pool water.
- the plate (13) is directly molded in the otic (5), only a portion of the rear face (131) may be in contact with the pool water.

- the entire luminous flux (F) emitted by the diodes (8) is oriented towards the rear of the support (2), that is to say in a direction opposite to that of the optics ( 5).
- the light-emitting diodes (8) can also be arranged parallel to the front face (130) of the plate (1) or obliquely. In this case, only a part of the luminous flux (F) is directed towards the rear of the support (2).
- a reflection means is arranged in the hollow chamber (9), facing each other electroluminescent diodes (8).
- this means of reflection preferably consists of a part (18) comprising a reflective frustoconical body (180) whose flared base is provided with a reflecting cupola (181) extending into the hollow chamber (9).
- the plate (13) is arranged at the top of the frustoconical body (180), and more particularly at its narrow end.
- this end is advantageously provided with a centering pin (184) adapted to be inserted into a complementary housing provided in the printed circuit (14) and / or in the plate (13).

- the dome (181) may have a conical shape of straight or curved profile, a hyperbolic shape, or any other profile suitable for the skilled person.
- the inner face of the dome (181) which is situated on the same side as the light-emitting diodes (8) is advantageously concave and comprises grooves (182) contiguous and concentric with the axis (A) of said dome.
- this axis (A) is coaxial with the axis of the frustoconical body (180) and that of the optics (5).
- the grooves (182) provide a homogeneous reflow of the luminous flux (F) to the optics (5) and thus to the pelvis, with a large angle of reflection.
- the grooves (182) are of circular section, their radius varying from 1 mm to 20 mm.
- the inner face of the dome (181) may comprise other facet type reflection means or hollow reflection elements and / or reliefs ensuring a homogeneous and diffuse reflection of the luminous flux (F).

Face à cet état des choses, l'invention a pour principal objectif de fournir un dispositif amélioré d'éclairage pour piscine permettant un refroidissement efficace et rapide des diodes électroluminescentes de sorte que ces dernières ne se dégradent pas.In view of this state of affairs, the main purpose of the invention is to provide an improved swimming pool lighting device enabling efficient and rapid cooling of the light-emitting diodes so that the latter do not degrade.
La solution proposée par l'invention est un dispositif d'éclairage destiné à être immergé dans l'eau d'une piscine, comprenant :
- un support sur lequel est fixée une optique, ledit support et ladite optique délimitant une chambre creuse dans laquelle sont disposées des diodes électroluminescentes,
- une platine conductrice de chaleur comportant une face avant sur laquelle sont agencées les diodes électroluminescentes et une face arrière.

En se rapportant au mode préféré de réalisation de la
La partie avant ouverte du support (2) est fermée par une optique (5). De cette manière, le support (2) et l'optique (5) délimitent une chambre creuse (9). L'arrière du support (2) est préférentiellement pourvu d'un élément tubulaire (4) débouchant de part et d'autre dudit support. La paroi externe de cet élément tubulaire (4) peut être filetée de manière à ce que le support (2) puisse se visser à l'intérieur d'une buse de refoulement ou d'une prise balai existante et déjà installée dans une paroi de la piscine. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation représenté sur la
L'optique (5) est réalisée en verre ou en matière plastique translucide ou transparente. Elle a une forme parabolique convexe et peut intégrer des facettes permettant la diffusion homogène de la lumière et le mélange des couleurs dans l'eau. L'optique (5) a une section qui correspond à celle du support (2). Elle est fixée de manière étanche au niveau de la partie avant ouverte du support (2). Cette fixation est réalisée par vissage combiné à un ou plusieurs joints, par soudage ultrason, par collage, ou toute autre technique convenant à l'homme du métier.The optic (5) is made of glass or translucent or transparent plastic material. It has a convex parabolic shape and can incorporate facets allowing the homogeneous diffusion of the light and the mixture of the colors in the water. The optic (5) has a section that corresponds to that of the support (2). It is sealed in the open front part of the support (2). This fixation is achieved by screwing combined with one or more joints, by ultrasonic welding, by bonding, or any other technique suitable for the skilled person.
Les diodes électroluminescentes (8) sont agencées sur la face avant (130) d'au moins une platine (13) conductrice de chaleur. Sur les figures annexées, une seule platine (13) est représentée, mais le dispositif objet de l'invention peut en comporter plusieurs. La platine (13) peut avoir une forme circulaire, carrée, hexagonale, ou autre et être composée d'une ou plusieurs pièces. Elle est réalisée en métal, en céramique ou en tout autre matériau conducteur de chaleur convenant à l'homme du métier. Sa face arrière (131) peut être revêtue d'une couche de matériau anticorrosion du type couche de peinture, couche de matière plastique, ou autre, ou encore subir un traitement de surface du type nitruration, chromatation, projection plasma, ou autre. En pratique, la platine (13) consiste en une pièce cylindrique plate, ayant un diamètre pouvant par exemple varier de 10 mm à 100 mm et une épaisseur pouvant par exemple aller de 1 mm à 10 mm. Les diodes électroluminescentes (8) sont préférentiellement préalablement fixées, typiquement par soudage, sur un circuit imprimé (14) lui-même fixé sur la face avant (130) de la platine (13). Le circuit imprimé (14) et la platine (13) peuvent êtres fixés l'un contre l'autre par soudure, collage, vissage, rivetage, ou autre. Les diodes électroluminescentes (8) peuvent toutefois être directement fixées sur la face avant (130) de la platine (13). Dans tous les cas, la chaleur émise par les diodes électroluminescentes (8) est évacuée par la platine (13).The light-emitting diodes (8) are arranged on the front face (130) of at least one heat conducting plate (13). In the accompanying figures, only one plate (13) is shown, but the device of the invention may comprise several. The plate (13) can have a circular, square, hexagonal or other shape and be composed of one or more pieces. It is made of metal, ceramic or any other heat conducting material suitable for the skilled person. Its rear face (131) may be coated with a layer of corrosion-resistant material such as paint layer, plastic layer, or the like, or else undergo a surface treatment such nitriding, chromating, plasma spraying, or other. In practice, the plate (13) consists of a flat cylindrical piece, having a diameter that may for example vary from 10 mm to 100 mm and a thickness that may for example range from 1 mm to 10 mm. The light emitting diodes (8) are preferably previously fixed, typically by welding, on a printed circuit (14) itself fixed on the front face (130) of the plate (13). The printed circuit (14) and the plate (13) can be fixed against each other by welding, gluing, screwing, riveting, or other. The light-emitting diodes (8) can, however, be directly attached to the front face (130) of the plate (13). In any case, the heat emitted by the light-emitting diodes (8) is discharged by the plate (13).
Les diodes électroluminescentes (8) (ou LED) peuvent être monochromes ou polychromes. Grâce à l'invention, il est possible d'utiliser des diodes dites de puissance qui génèrent un flux lumineux très supérieur aux diodes électroluminescentes classiques. Ces diodes de puissance ont généralement une puissance électrique supérieure ou égale à 0,1 Watt, certaines pouvant atteindre plusieurs dizaines de Watts. L'éclairage des diodes électroluminescentes (8) est préférentiellement commandé par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de gestion électronique fixée sur le circuit imprimé (14). Cette unité de gestion, qui se présente sous la forme d'un processeur ou d'un microprocesseur, peut être activée par télécommande ou directement programmée. L'utilisateur a ainsi la possibilité de générer selon son envie ou de manière programmée, de nombreux effets lumineux éventuellement combinés à des jeux de couleurs. Classiquement, les diodes électroluminescentes (8) fonctionnent sous 12 V. Selon la source de courant disponible, il est donc nécessaire de prévoir un transformateur permettant de transformer le 100 V ou le 220 V en 12 V. Pour des raisons de sécurité, ce transformateur est disposé en dehors du dispositif objet de l'invention et à l'extérieur du bassin d'eau. Bien qu'une batterie ou des piles électriques puissent être employées, les diodes électroluminescentes (8) et en particulier l'unité de gestion, sont préférentiellement alimentées par l'intermédiaire du câble d'alimentation électrique (10). L'extrémité de ce câble est connectée à une source de courant, typiquement le secteur. Lorsqu'un transformateur est utilisé, ce dernier peut être soit directement intégré dans le câble d'alimentation électrique (10), soit être rapporté. Dans ce dernier cas, le câble d'alimentation électrique (10) se branche sur le transformateur et c'est ce dernier qui est relié au secteur.Light-emitting diodes (8) (or LEDs) can be monochrome or polychromatic. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to use so-called power diodes that generate a luminous flux much higher than conventional light emitting diodes. These power diodes generally have an electrical power greater than or equal to 0.1 Watt, some up to several tens of Watts. The illumination of the light-emitting diodes (8) is preferably controlled via an electronic management unit fixed on the printed circuit (14). This management unit, which is in the form of a processor or a microprocessor, can be activated by remote control or directly programmed. The user has the possibility to generate according to his desire or programmed, many light effects possibly combined with color schemes. Conventionally, the light-emitting diodes (8) operate at 12 V. Depending on the available power source, it is therefore necessary to provide a transformer for transforming the 100 V or the 220 V into 12 V. For safety reasons, this transformer is disposed outside the device object of the invention and outside the water basin. Although a battery or electric batteries can be used, the light-emitting diodes (8) and in particular the management unit are preferably fed via the power supply cable (10). The end of this cable is connected to a power source, typically the mains. When a transformer is used, the transformer can either be integrated directly into the power supply cable (10) or be attached. In the latter case, the power supply cable (10) connects to the transformer and it is the latter which is connected to the mains.
Conformément à l'invention, la platine (13) est agencée directement sur l'optique (5) de manière à ce que les diodes électroluminescentes (8) soient situées dans la chambre creuse (9) et que tout ou partie de sa face arrière (131) soit située à l'extérieur de ladite chambre pour être directement en contact avec l'eau de la piscine. La platine (13) et les diodes (8) peuvent ainsi être efficacement refroidies.According to the invention, the plate (13) is arranged directly on the optics (5) so that the light-emitting diodes (8) are located in the hollow chamber (9) and that all or part of its rear face (131) is located outside of said chamber to be directly in contact with the pool water. The plate (13) and the diodes (8) can thus be effectively cooled.
L'optique (5) comporte un orifice qui est préférentiellement, mais pas nécessairement, positionné au centre de ladite optique. Un orifice central permet d'obtenir un éclairage symétrique et homogène à l'intérieur de l'optique. Cet orifice sert de logement à la platine (13). En se rapportant aux
La face arrière (131) de la platine (13) peut être plate (
Sur les figures annexées, les diodes électroluminescentes (8) sont disposées perpendiculairement à la face avant (130) de la platine (1). Dans cette configuration, l'ensemble du flux lumineux (F) émis par les diodes (8) est orienté vers l'arrière du support (2), c'est-à-dire dans une direction opposée à celle de l'optique (5). Les diodes électroluminescentes (8) peuvent également être disposées parallèlement à la face avant (130) de la platine (1) ou en oblique. Dans ce cas, une partie seulement du flux lumineux (F) est orienté vers l'arrière du support (2). Dans le but de rediffuser le flux lumineux (F) en direction de l'optique (5), et donc dans le bassin d'eau, un moyen de réflexion est agencé dans la chambre creuse (9), en vis-à-vis des diodes électroluminescentes (8).In the accompanying figures, the light-emitting diodes (8) are arranged perpendicularly to the front face (130) of the plate (1). In this configuration, the entire luminous flux (F) emitted by the diodes (8) is oriented towards the rear of the support (2), that is to say in a direction opposite to that of the optics ( 5). The light-emitting diodes (8) can also be arranged parallel to the front face (130) of the plate (1) or obliquely. In this case, only a part of the luminous flux (F) is directed towards the rear of the support (2). In order to rebroadcast the luminous flux (F) towards the optics (5), and thus into the water basin, a reflection means is arranged in the hollow chamber (9), facing each other electroluminescent diodes (8).
En se rapportant à la
La pièce (18) est fixée sur le support (2) par vissage, collage, soudure, ou autre. En pratique, la coupole réfléchissante (181) comporte des moyens de fixation (183). Il s'agit par exemple d'ergots s'insérant dans des logements complémentaires prévus sur la paroi interne du support (2).The piece (18) is fixed on the support (2) by screwing, gluing, welding, or other. In practice, the reflective dome (181) comprises fixing means (183). This is for example pins lodged in complementary housing provided on the inner wall of the support (2).
La courbure parabolique du corps tronconique (180) est telle qu'elle rediffuse tout ou partie du flux lumineux (F) vers l'optique (5) et donc vers le bassin d'eau. Le corps tronconique (180) peut être réalisé en métal, en matière composite ou autre, sa face externe étant recouverte d'une couche d'un matériau réfléchissant du type chrome, aluminium, argent, etc. Il peut toutefois être directement réalisé dans un matériau réfléchissant du type aluminium, argent, ou autre. En pratique, la hauteur du corps tronconique (180) varie de 10 mm à 100 mm. Il comporte une partie intérieure creuse (184) dans laquelle passe les câbles d'alimentation électrique (24).The parabolic curvature of the frustoconical body (180) is such as to redistribute all or part of the luminous flux (F) towards the optics (5) and thus towards the water basin. The frustoconical body (180) can be made of metal, composite material or other, its outer face being covered with a layer of a reflective material of the type chrome, aluminum, silver, etc.. It can, however, be made directly in a reflective material of the aluminum, silver, or other type. In practice, the height of the frustoconical body (180) varies from 10 mm to 100 mm. It has a hollow inner portion (184) through which the power supply cables (24) pass.
La coupole réfléchissante (181) est réalisée dans le même matériau que le corps tronconique (180). Elle peut être rapportée à la base de ce dernier ou formée une pièce monobloc avec ledit corps. En pratique, le diamètre de la coupole (181) est tel que sa bordure externe est sensiblement en contact avec la paroi interne du support (2) et/ou avec la paroi interne de l'optique (5). Elle a un diamètre extérieur pouvant varier de 100 mm à 400 mm, préférentiellement environ 220 mm. La coupole (181) peut avoir une forme conique de profil droit ou courbe, une forme hyperbolique, ou tout autre profil convenant à l'homme du métier. Pour obtenir une réflexion optimale du flux lumineux (F), la face interne de la coupole (181) qui est située du même côté que les diodes électroluminescentes (8) est avantageusement concave et comporte des sillons (182) contigus et concentriques à l'axe (A) de ladite coupole. Sur les figures annexées, cet axe (A) est coaxial à l'axe du corps tronconique (180) et à celui de l'optique (5). Les sillons (182) assurent une rediffusion homogène du flux lumineux (F) vers l'optique (5) et donc vers le bassin, avec un grand angle de réflexion. En pratique, les sillons (182) sont de section circulaire, leur rayon variant de 1 mm à 20 mm. Leur nombre varie par exemple de 3 à 50 en fonction de leur rayon et du diamètre de la coupole (181). La face interne de la coupole (181) peut comporter d'autres moyens de réflexion du type facettes ou des éléments de réflexion en creux et/ou en reliefs assurant une réflexion homogène et diffuse du flux lumineux (F).The reflective dome (181) is made of the same material as the frustoconical body (180). It can be attached to the base of the latter or formed a one-piece piece with said body. In practice, the diameter of the dome (181) is such that its outer rim is substantially in contact with the inner wall of the support (2) and / or with the inner wall of the optic (5). It has an outer diameter ranging from 100 mm to 400 mm, preferably about 220 mm. The dome (181) may have a conical shape of straight or curved profile, a hyperbolic shape, or any other profile suitable for the skilled person. To obtain optimum reflection of the luminous flux (F), the inner face of the dome (181) which is situated on the same side as the light-emitting diodes (8) is advantageously concave and comprises grooves (182) contiguous and concentric with the axis (A) of said dome. In the accompanying figures, this axis (A) is coaxial with the axis of the frustoconical body (180) and that of the optics (5). The grooves (182) provide a homogeneous reflow of the luminous flux (F) to the optics (5) and thus to the pelvis, with a large angle of reflection. In practice, the grooves (182) are of circular section, their radius varying from 1 mm to 20 mm. Their number varies for example from 3 to 50 depending on their radius and the diameter of the dome (181). The inner face of the dome (181) may comprise other facet type reflection means or hollow reflection elements and / or reliefs ensuring a homogeneous and diffuse reflection of the luminous flux (F).
Dans une variante de réalisation représentée sur la
La coupole (18') peut être rapportée sur le support (2) ou formée une pièce monobloc avec l'optique (5) et être obtenue lors du moulage de ladite optique. Dans ce dernier cas, un revêtement réfléchissant (185') est appliqué contre la face interne de ladite coupole qui est située en vis-à-vis des diodes électroluminescentes (8). Ce revêtement (185') est typiquement à base de chrome, d'aluminium, d'argent ou de tout autre matériau réfléchissant. Il peut se présenter sous la forme d'une peinture, d'une feuille souple, ou de toute autre forme convenant à l'homme du métier.The dome (18 ') can be attached to the support (2) or formed a one-piece piece with the optics (5) and be obtained during molding of said optics. In the latter case, a reflective coating (185 ') is applied against the inner face of said cupola which is located vis-à-vis the light-emitting diodes (8). This coating (185 ') is typically based on chromium, aluminum, silver or any other reflective material. It may be in the form of a paint, a flexible sheet, or any other form suitable to those skilled in the art.
