    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
  • Following is a detailed description, with the help of the aforementioned attached figures 1 to 8, of a preferred embodiment of the luminaire for emergency lighting in evacuation galleries of tunnels (28) (see figure 8), object of the present invention.
  • In accordance with figures 1 and 2, the luminaire comprises an elongated casing (1) in a longitudinal direction and open in said longitudinal direction, by means of an opening (2), wherein the longitudinal direction defines in the casing (1) a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. Preferably, the casing (1) is an extruded aluminium profile, as represented in the attached figures. The longitudinal direction is envisaged to be the direction of the evacuation gallery of the tunnel (28) (see figure 8).
  • Figure 4 shows that the casing (1) comprises connections (19), preferably two connections (19), for being fixed to any of a gable end and the roof (29) of a tunnel (28), with the longitudinal direction of the casing (1) in the direction of the tunnel (28). As can be observed in figure 8, the luminaire is fixed to the roof (29) of the tunnel (28). In particular, by way of example, it is envisaged that the casing (1) is fixed to the gable end or to the roof (29) of the tunnel (28) by means of a metallic support (not shown) previously disposed in the tunnel (28). Preferably, each connection (19) incorporates two connection slots (3) defining a cross, located on a rear side (27) of the casing (1), opposite to the opening (2), preferably near the first end and the second end.
  • The profile of the casing (1) (see figure 2) is preferably U-shaped, with a base (4) in the manner of a core and two wings (5) that extend from the sides of the base (4). Each of the wings (5), preferably, is in turn formed by a plurality of walls (6, 7) disposed consecutively. In the embodiment shown in the figures, each of the wings (5) comprises: a first wall (6) extending from the base (4) forming an obtuse angle and a second wall (7) extending from the first base (6) perpendicular to the base (4).
  • Lighting means are also incorporated to the luminaire, as shown in figures 1, 2, 5 and 6. The lighting means comprise in turn a LEDs body (8), fixed to the casing (1), wherein the LEDs body (8) includes a plurality of primary LEDs (9) intended for illuminating the floor (30) of the tunnel (28) perpendicularly. According to the embodiment shown, a respective flap (11) extends from each of the second walls (7) towards the interior of the casing (1). Metal bushings (12) are disposed at the free end of the flaps (11) (see figure 3), which project towards the openings (2) moving away from the base (4). The bushings (12) are threaded internally to screw the LEDs body (8). An example in which four bushings (12) are disposed is shown in the figures. Likewise, in the embodiment represented, 36 primary SMD5050 LEDs (9) are disposed, with colour temperature comprised between 5650-6300 K, which jointly consume 7W. The luminaire of the invention is configured to operate preferably at voltage conditions of 110 ~ 270 VAC 50/60 Hz.
  • The luminaire additionally incorporates a cover (13) mounted on the casing (1) (see figure 2) to cover the opening (2), thereby closing said casing (1) longitudinally between the first end and the second end, and to protect the LEDs body (8) from the entrance of water and dust. Preferably, the cover (13) is manufactured from halogen-free, self-extinguishable polycarbonate. The cover (13) is mounted in corresponding cover slots (14) (see figure 2), defined longitudinally at the free ends of the second walls (7).
  • Figures 2 and 4 show that the casing (1) incorporates projecting portions (15) that project from the profil, towards the interior and/or exterior of the casing (1) in order to generate greater mechanical resistance and/or to facilitate heat dissipation.
  • Likewise, the luminaire of the invention stands out (see figures 1, 5 and 8) in that the lighting means additionally incorporate a respective spotlight (16) located in each of the first end and the second end of the casing (1), said spotlights (16) being configured and positioned so as to illuminate the floor (30) obliquely in a longitudinal direction, constituting additional lighting to the lighting provided by the primary LEDs (9) of the LEDs body (8).
  • Preferably, as can be observed in figures 1 and 5, the luminaire additionally incorporates removable caps (17) destined for covering the first end and the second end of the casing (1). The caps (17) are preferably manufactured from polycarbonate. In accordance with the embodiment represented in the figures, the caps (17) internally have a cap groove (not shown) in correspondence with the shape of the casing (1) profile for fitting the corresponding cap (17) to the casing (1) profile.
  • Furthermore, preferably, each of the spotlights (16) is housed inside its corresponding cap (17), as shown in figures 1 and 5. In the embodiment represented in the figures, in order to illuminate the floor (30) obliquely, in front and behind in a longitudinal direction, the spotlights (16) will preferably be oriented at an angle α comprised between 20° and 60°. An angle α between 35° and 40°, in particular, 38°, is considered more preferable.
