Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a signaling device with a sound signal unit for emitting an acoustic signal and with a light signal unit for emitting a visual signal, a housing base body being provided with which the signaling device can preferably be arranged on a receiving body and an upper housing part is provided which is used to form a receiving space is arranged on the housing base body.
  • Signal devices with a sound signal unit for sending out an acoustic signal and with a light signal unit for sending out a visual signal are generally known.
  • Signal devices of this type are also known which are arranged on electrical devices, machines or industrial production facilities.
  • the signal devices can be used to output warnings acoustically or visually, for example.
  • signaling devices are prescribed which, in addition to an acoustic sound signal, emit a visually perceptible light signal.
  • signaling devices are provided which include both the audio signal unit and the light signal unit in one structural unit.
  • a signal device with a mounting plate, an upper part and a stroboscopic lens arranged on a front side of the upper part is known.
  • a circuit board is arranged in a receiving space formed by the upper part and the fastening plate.
  • the US 2008/0074278 A1 discloses a signal device with a strobe light arranged on a front side.
  • An electrical switching unit is arranged inside the housing of the signaling device.
  • the EP 1 026 645 A2 discloses a signaling device with a housing and a hood arranged on the housing.
  • the hood is designed to emit an acoustic alarm.
  • signal devices with a sound signal unit and a light signal unit are complex and the assembly of such signal devices is often difficult. If such signal devices are used as part of the safety devices in a building, the signal devices can be arranged either in a flush-mounted or in a surface-mounted installation on a wall, and the electrical connections must often be made with an increased expenditure of time.
  • the audio signal unit and the light signal unit are designed as separate to be mounted and electrically connected units on the signaling device, which can often only be attached by a fitter after the housing base body has been installed on the receiving body, for example a wall.
  • the upper part of the housing can be placed on the housing base body and connected to it.
  • the upper part of the housing usually forms a cover to form a closed receiving space in the signaling device.
  • the invention is defined in claim 1 and includes the technical teaching that a separate base body of the light signal unit is formed from a light-transparent signal hood, the signal hood having a base area, the base area of the signal hood being spanned by a connection frame, that the light signal unit has an electrical Has switching unit which is arranged in the connection frame, and that the housing base body has a side wall, the signal hood being placed with the base on the outside of the side wall and arranged on the housing base body, the housing base body having a depth, the housing upper part having a depth, and wherein the housing upper part protrudes into the housing base body in the assembled state on the housing base body.
  • the configuration of the light signal unit according to the invention makes it possible to provide a housing base body with an upper housing part which only has the audio signal unit, and the light signal unit has a separate base body which is formed by the signal hood itself.
  • the light signal unit does not have to be formed from a base body onto which a signal hood is only subsequently placed, via which the visual signal is emitted.
  • the only externally visible component of the light signal unit is the signal hood.
  • the light signal unit according to the invention is characterized by a smaller number of components, which can also be connected in a simple manner to the basic housing body of the signal device.
  • the term “light-transparent” signal hood is to be understood in the present context as meaning that the signal hood is designed to allow the light emitted by a light source inside the light signal unit to pass from the inside to the outside.
  • the signal hood does not necessarily have to be transparent, i.e. transparent, but can also be designed in color.
  • the basic housing body of the signaling device has a side wall, and the base area of the signal hood is placed on the outside of the side wall and, in particular, is connected to the side wall with connecting means.
  • the signal hood radiating the light signal is arranged in direct contact with the side wall on the basic housing body. This advantage is possible because the light signal unit has no further base body to which the signal hood first has to be attached, since according to the invention the signal hood already forms the base body of the light signal unit itself.
  • the base body of the light signal unit denotes the body on which essentially all of the relevant components of the light signal unit are arranged.
  • the light signal unit with the signal hood and the additional components can be regarded as ready for operation insofar as only electrical connections are led out of the base body of the light signal unit, which for example only have to be connected to a power supply and / or to a signal supply.
  • a light signal unit with the base body and the operationally necessary components to be arranged on the base body is created as a self-contained and functional unit, which then only has to be arranged and electrically connected on the housing base body of the signal device.
  • the base of the signal hood is spanned by a connection frame, and the light signal unit has an electrical switching unit which is arranged in the area of the connection frame.
  • the electrical switching unit which serves as an essential, functionally necessary unit for operating the light signal unit, is thus connected directly to the signal hood before the signal hood itself is arranged on the side wall of the basic housing body.
  • the electrical connection which is electrically connected to further components in the basic housing body of the signaling device, can be led out of the electrical switching unit.
  • the base area of the signal hood, which is spanned by the connection frame does not have to extend in one plane in the present understanding of the base area, and the connection frame can deviate from a plane, for example, in that the connection frame has steps, shoulders, edges and the like.
  • connection frame of the signal hood serves to place the signal hood on the side wall of the basic housing body, whereby the joining surface between the side wall and the signal hood does not have to lie in one plane and the base area of the signal hood can be adapted to the surface of the side wall.
  • the base area of the signal hood can be slightly smaller than the area of the side wall.
  • the side wall of the housing base body can have an opening into which the electrical switching unit extends at least partially when the light signal unit is arranged on the side wall.
  • the electrical switching unit can be formed by a carrier board on which electronic components are arranged.
  • the carrier board can be located, for example, in the base surface of the connection frame or parallel to the base surface of the connection frame, and the carrier board, but also components that are arranged on the carrier board, can extend into the opening in the side wall of the basic housing body.
  • the opening can be designed, for example, rectangular, and the opening can have smaller dimensions than the side wall of the housing base body.
  • the connection frame can be placed around the edge of the opening in the housing base body, so that the opening in the housing base body is closed by the connection frame and thus by the signal hood.
  • the carrier board which forms the electrical switching unit, can be held in the connection frame of the signal hood with connecting means.
  • the carrier board can be screwed into the signal hood, and the carrier board can have smaller dimensions than the connection frame of the signal hood. If the carrier board is arranged on the inside in the signal hood, for example parallel to or in the base of the signal hood itself, the signal hood can then be arranged on the side wall to cover the opening in the side wall.
  • the light signal unit has a lighting means which is arranged in particular on the electrical switching unit and protrudes into the signal hood.
  • the arrangement of the electrical switching unit designed as a carrier board means that the lighting means, for example a flash lamp, can be arranged in a simple manner on the carrier board. If the carrier board is arranged in the signal hood, for example in the area of the connection frame, after the switching unit has been arranged in the signal hood, the illuminant is in the desired position within the signal hood.
  • the signal hood can be designed in the form of a pyramid with a rectangular base area, and the lighting means is located in the center of the pyramid-shaped signal hood. The size the pyramid is designed so that the base of the pyramid covers the opening in the side wall.
  • a sealing cord can be arranged on the signal hood, which is in particular introduced all around the preferably rectangular connection frame. If the signal hood is arranged with its connection frame over the opening on the side wall, the sealing cord seals the opening in the side wall, in particular if the signal hood is designed to be closed. This prevents moisture and / or contamination from penetrating into the receiving space in the basic housing body or into the interior of the signal hood.
  • a line connection means is received in the basic housing body, the electrical switching unit having an electrical connection to the line connection means.
  • the electrical connection between the electrical switching unit and the line connection means can be passed through the opening in the side wall of the basic housing body onto which the signal hood is placed.
  • the electrical switching unit can be arranged in the opening itself when the signal hood with the electrical switching unit is arranged on the side wall.
  • the electrical connection between the switching unit and the line connection means can be established by a fitter before the signaling device is installed, and the line connection means is used in particular to establish an electrical connection between the signaling device and other circuitry for wiring the signaling device.
  • An electrical line can be passed through housing openings which can be introduced into the housing base body.
  • the signal device can have an electrical switching unit for connecting the lighting means of the light signal unit, and the electrical switching unit is part of the light signal unit.
  • an electrical assembly for generating sound can be provided in the housing base body, which is particularly advantageous is arranged on the inside in the upper housing part or held on this.
  • a contact means with a first plug contact partner and a second plug contact partner can be arranged between the electrical assembly and the line connection means, and the first plug contact partner is located on the line connection means and the second plug contact partner is located on the electrical assembly for generating sound. If the upper part of the housing is arranged on the main housing body, the contact means is established by plugging the plug-in contact partners together.
  • the basic housing body can, for example, have a depth of 40 mm to 150 mm, preferably 45 mm to 140 mm and particularly preferably 47 mm to 125 mm.
  • the upper part of the housing can have a depth of 20 mm to 75 mm, preferably 30 mm to 60 mm and particularly preferably 32.5 mm to 56 mm.
  • the upper part of the housing protrudes into the basic housing body on the housing body, so that the total depth of the signaling device does not necessarily result from the sum of the depths of the basic housing body and the upper housing part.
  • the result is a ratio of the depth of the basic housing body to the upper housing part of 1.0 to 4.4, preferably 1.4 to 4.1 and particularly preferably 1.45 to 3.0.
  • the light- emitting area of the signal hood can be 60 cm 2 to 1000 cm 2 , preferably from 100 cm 2 to 500 cm 2 and particularly preferably from 154 cm 2 to 420 cm 2 .
  • the surface area of the base can be 40 cm 2 to 500 cm 2 , preferably from 80 cm 2 to 300 cm 2 and particularly preferably from 94 cm 2 to 242 cm 2 . This results in a ratio of the light-emitting area of the signal hood to the area of the base area of 1.2 to 2.4, preferably 1.4 to 2.0, preferably 1.6 to 1.8.
  • the area that emits light encompasses the entire surface of the signal hood through which light can be emitted or transmitted to the outside.
  • the signal hood is designed, for example, in the shape of a pyramid, these are the four side surfaces of the pyramid body. Furthermore, only the envelope surface is to be taken into account here and not, for example, the surface of the outer sides of the signal hood, which can be much larger in the case of structured surfaces.
  • This embodiment ensures that a relatively large light-emitting surface area of the signal hood is provided, such as significantly improved heat dissipation result.
