Illuminants is the case. This in turn results in a longer service life of the LED chips as lighting means and thus a further improvement in the economic efficiency of these floodlights in relation to previous solutions as well as alternative LED floodlights.
  • the combination of LED chip and reflector optics has another key advantage that is particularly relevant in the field of floodlights. Since the floodlight lighting should enable the sports field to be used by active athletes as well as the view of the audience at the edge of the sports field or on grandstands, it is a central concern to minimize the glare from the floodlights for both groups.
  • the previously widespread flat arrangements of a multitude of LEDs with pre-attached plastic lenses are very disadvantageous, since those involved are greatly dazzled when they look at the floodlights, as they look directly at the LED lamps.

It also plays a role here that it is provided according to the invention that the different LED spotlights that work together in a floodlight can also be made up differently in terms of both their light output and their optics.

Description

Die vorliegende Anmeldung betrifft Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchten sowie diese verwendende Flutlichtanlagen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present application relates to high-performance LED floodlight luminaires and floodlight systems using them according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zur kontinuierlichen Durchführung von sportlichen Wettkämpfen sowie des Trainingsbetriebes auch in den Abendstunden sowie den lichtarmen Wintermonaten ist es erforderlich, Sportplatzanlagen mit entsprechenden Beleuchtungsanlagen zu versehen, die in der Regel als Flutlichtanlagen bezeichnet werden. Lichttechnische Anforderungen an derartige Anlagen finden sich in der Industrienorm DIN EN 12193 "Licht und Beleuchtung, Sportstättenbeleuchtung". Hierbei ist relevant, dass es sehr unterschiedliche Anforderungen an diese Sportbeleuchtungsanlagen gibt in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Nutzung und des beispielsweise hierauf ausgeführten Wettbewerbsniveaus.For the continuous implementation of sporting competitions as well as training in the evening hours and in the winter months with little light, it is necessary to provide sports grounds with appropriate lighting systems, which are usually referred to as floodlight systems. Technical lighting requirements for such systems can be found in the industrial standard DIN EN 12193 "Light and lighting, sports facility lighting". It is relevant here that there are very different requirements for these sports lighting systems, depending on the respective use and the level of competition based on them, for example.

Man unterscheidet daher verschiedene Beleuchtungsklassen in Abhängigkeit der Anforderungen in Beleuchtungsklasse I für Hochleistungstraining (internationale und nationale Wettbewerbe), Beleuchtungsklasse II für Wettbewerbe auf mittlerem Niveau (regionale und lokale Wettbewerbe sowie Trainingsbetrieb) sowie Beleuchtungsklasse III für allgemeines Training und Freizeitsport. Gerade die Beleuchtungsklasse III findet sich zahlenmäßig am häufigsten realisiert, da es sich hierbei um Beleuchtungsanlagen handelt, wie diese sehr weit verbreitet an einer Vielzahl von regionalen Sportstätten zu finden sind. Zahlenmäßig handelt es sich hierbei um ein Vielfaches der Sportplatzbeleuchtungsanlagen, die auf höchstem Anforderungsniveau erstellt und betrieben werden, beispielsweise für Stadien der Fußballbundesliga.A distinction is therefore made between different lighting classes depending on the requirements in lighting class I for high-performance training (international and national competitions), lighting class II for competitions at medium level (regional and local competitions as well as training) and lighting class III for general training and recreational sports. In terms of numbers, lighting class III in particular is the most frequently implemented, since it involves lighting systems that are very widespread in a large number of regional sports facilities. In terms of numbers, this is a multiple of the sports field lighting systems that are created and operated at the highest level of requirements, for example for stadiums of the German football league.

Insbesondere die Auswertung sportlicher Ereignisse durch Fernsehübertragungen bewirkt völlig andere Anforderungen an die Sportstättenbeleuchtung als dies der alltägliche Betrieb in Bezug auf einen sicheren Trainingsbetrieb oder kleinere regionale Wettbewerbe erfordert, die in der Regel keine mediale Übertragung erfordern.In particular, the evaluation of sporting events by means of television broadcasts has completely different requirements on sports facility lighting than is required by everyday operation in relation to safe training operations or smaller regional competitions, which generally do not require media broadcasts.

Diese unterschiedlichen Anforderungen drücken sich direkt in dem für die Sportplatzbeleuchtungsanlagen erforderlichen Anforderungen aus. Diese Anforderungen sind auch Gegenstand der Lizenzierungsverfahren von Fußballverbänden, beispielsweise des deutschen Fußballbundes (DFB), der Mindestlichtstärken für Flutlichtanlagen vorgibt.These different requirements are expressed directly in the requirements required for the sports field lighting systems. These requirements are also the subject of the licensing procedures of football associations, for example the German Football Association (DFB), which specifies minimum light levels for floodlight systems.

Auch die deutsche Fußballiga (DFL) gibt hier Lizenzanforderungen in Bezug auf Flutlichtanlagen für Stadien der 1. und 2. Bundesliga vor. Hier wird eine Mindestbeleuchtungsstärke in einer Höhe von 1,5 m über dem Spielfeld definiert. Es ändern sich die entsprechenden Vorgaben über die erforderlichen Mindestbeleuchtungsstärken in den vergangenen Jahren hin zu stärkeren Beleuchtungsstärken, da gerade auf Grund der zunehmenden Anforderungen an die bildgebenden Medienübertragungen, beispielsweise in Bezug auf Zeitlupenwiedergaben, hohe Lichtwerte erfordern. Beleuchtungsanforderungen beispielsweise für HDTV machen eine Mindestbeleuchtungsstärke von 2000 Lux erforderlich. Weitere vorgaben erfolgen beispielsweise durch den europäischen Fußballverband (UEFA) wie auch den Weltfußballverband (FIFA). So sind konkrete Vorgaben in Bezug auf die Mindestbeleuchtungsstärke von Wettkämpfen im Zusammenhang mit der UEFA, wie beispielsweise Champions League oder Europapokal vorgegeben.The German Football League (DFL) also stipulates license requirements for floodlight systems for stadiums in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. A minimum illuminance is defined here at a height of 1.5 m above the playing field. The corresponding requirements for the required minimum illuminance levels have changed in recent years towards stronger illuminance levels, as the increasing demands on imaging media transmissions, for example with regard to slow-motion reproductions, require high light levels. Lighting requirements for HDTV, for example, require a minimum illuminance of 2000 lux. Further specifications are made, for example, by the European Football Association (UEFA) and the World Football Association (FIFA). There are specific requirements with regard to the minimum illuminance of competitions in connection with UEFA, such as the Champions League or the European Cup.

Die gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung eines solchen nicht in einem Stadion angeordneten beispielsweise Fußballfeldes ist deutlich schwieriger, da hier der Regelfall so ist, dass auf beiden Längsseiten des Spielfeldes in gleichmäßigen Abständen bspw. 3 Flutlichtmasten verteilt sind, die allerdings nicht in der Ecke des Spielfeldes angeordnet sind, sondern häufig von den Ecken aus ca. 17 Meter in die Mitte versetzt angeordnet sind, d.h., es ergibt sich jeweils ein Abstand des seitlichen Mastes von ca. 17 Metern zur Eckfahne. Der 3. seitliche Mast befindet sich dann genau auf der Mitte des Feldes. Dies ergibt insbesondere das zentrale Problem, dass es sehr schwierig ist, auf diese Art und Weise das gesamte Feld gleichmäßig auszuleuchten, da insbesondere die Ecken des Spielfeldes nur schwerlich mit Leuchten zu erreichen sind.The uniform illumination of such a football field, for example, which is not arranged in a stadium, is significantly more difficult, since the rule here is that on both long sides of the playing field at equal intervals For example, 3 floodlight masts are distributed, which, however, are not arranged in the corner of the playing field, but are often offset from the corners about 17 meters to the center, that is, there is a distance between the side mast of about 17 Meters to the corner flag. The 3rd side mast is then exactly in the middle of the field. This results in particular in the central problem that it is very difficult to illuminate the entire field uniformly in this way, since the corners of the playing field in particular are difficult to reach with lights.

Standardisiert wird heute so verfahren, dass 8 Lampen an diesen bspw. 6 Flutlichtmasten befestigt sind. Dies bedeutet in jeder Ecke, bzw. 17 Meter von jeder Ecke entfernt, eine Flutlichtleuchte an einem Flutlichtmast und an den mittleren Flutlichtmasten je 2 Flutlichtleuchten. Auf diese Art und Weise strahlen von jeder Seitenfläche des Fußballfeldes 4 starke Leuchten aufs Feld um dieses auszuleuchten. In vielen Fällen sind die Ecken hierbei nur spärlich beleuchtet.The standardization today is that 8 lamps are attached to these, for example 6 floodlight masts. This means in each corner, or 17 meters from each corner, a floodlight on a floodlight mast and 2 floodlights on each of the middle floodlight masts. In this way, 4 strong lights shine from each side of the soccer field onto the field to illuminate it. In many cases the corners are only sparsely lit here.

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es für die Betreiber von Sportspielstätten von herausragender Bedeutung, welche Betriebskosten durch die zwingend vorgeschriebenen Flutlichtanlagen verursacht werden. Hierbei geht es primär um eine Reduzierung der Stromaufnahme bei möglichst hoher Leistung, wobei auch hohe Standzeiten der Leuchtmittel wie auch eine geringe Wartungsintensität angestrebt werden.Against this background, it is of paramount importance for the operators of sports venues which operating costs are caused by the mandatory floodlight systems. The primary aim here is to reduce the power consumption with the highest possible output, with a long service life for the lamps and low maintenance intensity being sought.

Gerade vor diesem Hintergrund und im Zuge der allgemeinen Entwicklung im Bereich der Beleuchtung ist auch im Bereich der Sportplatzbeleuchtungsanlagen eine klare Tendenz hin zur Verwendung von LED-Beleuchtungsmitteln festzustellen, wobei hier bislang klare Grenzen in Bezug auf die erforderliche Beleuchtungsstärke gesetzt waren. Zudem war bislang kritisch, dass die erforderlichen hohen Lichtstärken durch die LED-Technik nicht bei deutlich geringeren Leistungsaufnahmen realisiert werden konnten, was eine Umstellung auf LED-Beleuchtung wirtschaftlich unattraktiv machte.Against this background and in the course of the general development in the field of lighting, a clear tendency towards the use of LED lighting can also be seen in the field of sports field lighting systems, although clear limits have been set here with regard to the required illuminance. In addition, it has so far been critical that the required high luminous intensities through the LED technology are not achieved with significantly lower power consumption which made a switch to LED lighting economically unattractive.

Bislang angebotene Lösungen auf Basis von LED-Lichttechnik weisen neben den oben genannten Mängeln zudem einen Mangel auf in Bezug auf die vollflächige und gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung des Sportplatzes. Bei einer Anordnung bspw. an 6 seitlich angeordneten Flutlichtmasten bewirkt die großflächige Anordnung einer Vielzahl von LED-Leuchtmitteln bei diesen Flutlichtleuchten eine sehr breite Abstrahlung mit hohen Leistungsverlusten, weshalb auch die Wirtschaftlichkeit dieser Lösungen aktuell nicht gegeben ist, da die gewünschte Einsparung von Stromkosten ausbleibt.Solutions based on LED lighting technology that have been offered up to now have, in addition to the above-mentioned deficiencies, a deficiency with regard to the full-area and uniform illumination of the sports field. In the case of an arrangement, for example on 6 laterally arranged floodlight masts, the large-area arrangement of a large number of LED lamps in these floodlight lamps causes a very wide radiation with high power losses, which is why these solutions are currently not economical because the desired savings in electricity costs are not achieved.

Aus der Veröffentlichung US 2012/307486 A1 ist eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung bekannt, die mehrere modulare Vorrichtungen umfasst, wobei jede modulare Vorrichtung eine oder mehrere Lichtquellen und eine oder mehrere Lichtlenkungs- oder Lichtumlenkvorrichtungen umfasst. Es werden Verfahren zum Einstellen einer oder mehrerer Komponenten der Leuchte um eine, zwei oder drei Achsen vorgestellt, wobei die Beleuchtungsbedürfnisse eines Zielbereichs, auch mit komplexer Form, auf eine Weise angesprochen werden können, dass der Zielbereich mit erhöhter Blendungskontrolle und erhöhter Lichtgleichmäßigkeit angemessen beleuchtet werden kann im Vergleich zu mindestens den meisten herkömmlichen Scheinwerfern für Sportbeleuchtungsanwendungen.From the publication US 2012/307486 A1 For example, a lighting device is known which comprises a plurality of modular devices, each modular device comprising one or more light sources and one or more light directing or light deflecting devices. Methods for adjusting one or more components of the luminaire around one, two or three axes are presented, whereby the lighting needs of a target area, even with a complex shape, can be addressed in such a way that the target area is adequately illuminated with increased glare control and increased light uniformity can compare to at least most conventional headlights for sports lighting applications.

Aus der Offenbarung US 2015/0308655 A1 ist eine Anordnung von LED-Leuchten für den Außenbereich offenbart, der insbesondere darauf abzielt, Veranstaltungsorte ausleuchten zu können. Es ist hierbei neben dem eigentlichen Aufbau der Leuchte auch eine Anordnung an einem Trägergerüst offenbart, wobei eine Vielzahl einzelner Lampenkörper an einem Trägergerüst anzuordnen ist. Es ist hierbei auch offenbart, dass diese Leuchten von einer zentralen Strahlachse im Randbereich hin abgewinkelt angeordnet sind, wodurch eine großflächige Ausleuchtung beispielsweise einer Sportstätte möglich sein kann.From the revelation US 2015/0308655 A1 an arrangement of LED lights for the outdoor area is disclosed, which is aimed in particular at being able to illuminate event locations. In addition to the actual structure of the luminaire, an arrangement on a support frame is also disclosed, with a plurality of individual lamp bodies being to be arranged on a support frame. It is also disclosed here that these lights start from a central beam axis in the edge area are arranged at an angle, whereby a large-area illumination of a sports facility, for example, can be possible.

Grundsätzlich sind hier allerdings auf dem Trägergerüst in großer Zahl identische Lampenkörper montiert, in der beispielhaften Darstellung der Figur 1 handelt es sich beispielsweise um 24 Leuchten, die an einem gerüstartigen Träger angeordnet sind. Das diese Leuchten tragende Gerüst ist hierbei statisch in einer Konstruktionsebene ausgebildet und eine Ausrichtung der Leuchten erfolgt über einen an der Lampe angeordneten rückseitigen verschwenkbaren Bügel. Hierbei fällt auf, dass es primär darauf abzielt, durch die Masse an Leuchten eine große Lichtausbeute zu erzielen. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein sehr energieaufwendiges System, da die große Anzahl von Leuchten entsprechende Wattzahlen verbraucht.Basically, however, a large number of identical lamp bodies are mounted on the support frame, in the exemplary illustration in FIG Figure 1 For example, there are 24 lights that are arranged on a frame-like carrier. The framework carrying these lights is statically designed in a construction plane and the lights are aligned using a pivotable bracket on the rear of the lamp. It is noticeable that it is primarily aimed at achieving a high light output through the mass of luminaires. This is a very energy-intensive system, as the large number of lights consumes corresponding watts.

Aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2011 113 652 A1 ist ein LED-Hochleistungsspot offenbart, der grundsätzlich vielen Anwendungen offen steht. Die Offenbarung bezieht sich hierbei ausschließlich auf die Grundkonstruktion dieses LED-Spots, wobei eine Anwendung im Bereich der Flutlichtanlagen hier nicht nahegelegt ist.From the publication DE 10 2011 113 652 A1 a high-performance LED spot is disclosed that is basically open to many applications. The disclosure relates exclusively to the basic construction of this LED spot, with an application in the field of floodlight systems not being suggested here.

Schließlich ist aus der Veröffentlichung US 2006/0245189 A1 eine Flutlichtanordnung offenbart, die eine Anordnung von Strahlern an Flutlichtmasten offenbart. Der erfinderische Offenbarungsgedanke in dieser Schrift ist ein spezielles Verfahren, diese Beleuchtungsmittel in einer bestimmten Form auszurichten. Hintergrund ist hierbei, dass auf diese Art und Weise eine Vielzahl konzentrierter LED-Strahlen erfasst werden soll um diese optimal auszurichten, wodurch die Zahl der Strahler minimiert werden soll, die zur Erzielung einer definierten Beleuchtungsaufgabe erforderlich sind. Insofern soll das hier offenbarte Verfahren eingebunden in computergesteuerte Berechnungsmodelle durch Messung an bestimmten Zielpunkten diese Projektplanungen verbessern und unterstützen. Eine konkrete bauliche Konstruktion einer Flutlichtanlage, die vorteilhaft ein Ausleuchten beispielsweise einer Sportstätte gewährleisten kann, ist hier demnach nicht Ziel der Offenbarung.Finally it's off publication US 2006/0245189 A1 discloses a floodlight arrangement which discloses an arrangement of spotlights on floodlight masts. The inventive disclosure concept in this document is a special method for aligning these lighting means in a specific shape. The background here is that a large number of concentrated LED beams are to be recorded in this way in order to align them optimally, whereby the number of spotlights that are required to achieve a defined lighting task is to be minimized. In this respect, the method disclosed here, integrated in computer-controlled calculation models, is intended to improve and support this project planning by measuring at certain target points. A specific structural design of a floodlight system that can advantageously ensure that a sports facility is illuminated, for example, is therefore not the aim of the disclosure here.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine verbesserte Flutlichtanlage und auf der Basis von LED-Leuchtmitteln zu schaffen, die die Vorzüge der LED-Technik in Bezug auf längere Standzeiten der Leuchtmittel sowie geringeren ermöglicht, insbesondere aber auch eine Verbesserung in Bezug auf die Gleichmäßigkeit in der Ausleuchtung eines Sportplatzes bewirkt.It is therefore the object of the present invention to create an improved floodlight system based on LED lighting means that enables the advantages of LED technology with regard to longer and lower service lives of the lighting means, but in particular also an improvement with regard to the Caused uniformity in the illumination of a sports field.

Dies wird erreicht durch Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchten gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This is achieved by high-performance LED floodlights according to the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Bauformen der erfindungsgemäßen Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchten werden in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 7 beschrieben. Die Ansprüche 8 und 9 betreffen eine Flutlichtanlage zur Beleuchtung von Sportplätzen unter Nutzung der erfindungsgemäßen Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchten.Advantageous designs of the high-power LED floodlights according to the invention are described in subclaims 2 to 7. Claims 8 and 9 relate to a floodlight system for lighting sports fields using the high-performance LED floodlights according to the invention.

Der grundsätzliche Verbesserungsansatz gegenüber den im Stand der Technik verwendeten Flutlichtanlagen im Bereich der Beleuchtung von kleineren Sportplatzanlagen ergibt sich daraus, dass das erfindungsgemäße Konzept den erheblichen Nachteil auszugleichen versucht, den eine Anordnung von Flutlichtbeleuchtung an nur wenigen Flutlichtmasten mit geringer Höhe nahe am Rand eines Spielfeldes beziehungsweise eines Sportplatzes bedingt.The fundamental improvement approach compared to the floodlight systems used in the prior art in the area of lighting smaller sports grounds arises from the fact that the concept according to the invention tries to compensate for the considerable disadvantage that an arrangement of floodlighting on only a few floodlight masts with a low height close to the edge of a playing field or of a sports field.

Hintergrund hierbei ist, dass bei den kleinen Sportanlagen, beispielsweise im Bereich des Vereinsfußballs, der nicht in modernen Stadien ausgetragen wird, geringere Anforderungen an die Lichtqualität bei der Sportplatzbeleuchtung bestehen, was allerdings in der Praxis dazu führt, dass die Beleuchtung oft mangelhaft ist in Bezug auf die gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung des gesamten Platzes. In der Regel ist dies bedingt durch die Anordnung der Strahler an den Flutlichtmasten, wobei an den jeweils drei seitlichen Masten im Stand der Technik in der Regel vier Leuchten angeordnet sind, je eine an den jeweiligen den Ecken zu geordneten Lichtmasten und zwei an einer Quertraverse am auf Höhe der Mittellinie angeordneten seitlichen Flutlichtmast. Hieraus ergibt sich eine Summe von acht Flutlichtleuchten, die so auf das Spielfeld ausgerichtet werden, dass dieses möglichst vollflächig ausgestrahlt wird.The background to this is that in the small sports facilities, for example in the area of club football, which is not played in modern stadiums, there are lower requirements for the light quality in the sports field lighting, which, however, in practice leads to the fact that the lighting is often poor on the even Illumination of the entire place. As a rule, this is due to the arrangement of the spotlights on the floodlight masts, with four lamps being arranged on each of the three lateral masts in the prior art, one each at the respective corners of the lighting masts and two on a crossbar on the Lateral floodlight pole arranged at the level of the center line. This results in a total of eight floodlights, which are aligned on the playing field in such a way that it is radiated over the entire surface.

Das erfindungsgemäße Konzept geht nun über diesen Stand der Technik hinaus, nutzt aber gleichzeitig die bestehenden baulichen Vorgaben in Bezug auf die Flutlichtmasten. Das heißt, es wird versucht, trotz der geringen Möglichkeiten, die durch die sechs den Sportplatz umgebenden relativ niedrigen Flutlichtmasten gegeben sind, den Sportplatz gleichmäßiger sowie vollständig zu beleuchten.The inventive concept now goes beyond this state of the art, but at the same time uses the existing structural specifications with regard to the floodlight masts. This means that an attempt is made to illuminate the sports field more evenly and completely, despite the limited possibilities that are given by the six relatively low floodlight masts surrounding the sports field.

Daher werden LED-Flutlichtleuchten an den bestehenden oder in ähnlicher Form neu errichteten Flutlichtmasten angeordnet, die nicht als ein einziger lichtstarker Strahler im Sinne des Standes der Technik konzipiert sind, sondern die aus einer Kombination den Sportplatz beleuchtender LED-Strahler mit gelenkig angeordneten LED-Strahlern bestehen, die insbesondere in die Ecken und an die Außenlinien des Spielfeldes zusätzlich gerichtet werden, um so auch in den Bereich, die im Stand der Technik nur schwach ausgeleuchtet sind, eine erforderliche Lichtstärke erreichen zu können. Ein entsprechendes beispielhaftes Schaubild der Ausleuchtung wird mit Blick auf die zeichnerische Darstellung später näher erläutert.For this reason, LED floodlights are arranged on the existing or similarly newly erected floodlight masts, which are not designed as a single high-intensity spotlight in the sense of the state of the art, but rather the LED spotlights that illuminate the sports field with articulated LED spotlights exist, which are additionally directed in particular into the corners and to the outer lines of the playing field in order to be able to achieve a required light intensity in the areas that are only weakly illuminated in the prior art. A corresponding exemplary diagram of the illumination will be explained in more detail later with a view to the graphic representation.

Hierbei sieht das erfindungsgemäße Konzept der Flutlichtanlage vor, dass die neuartige Flutlichtleuchte verschieden ausrichtbare LED-Strahler umfasst und an den üblichen Befestigungspunkten am Flutlichtmast angeordnet werden kann über eine gemeinsame, die einzelnen LED-Leuchten tragende Trägerstruktur. Hierbei ist wesentlich, dass es sich um LED-Strahler handelt, die einen einzelnen Hochleistungs-LED-Chip als Lichtquelle aufweisen und nicht eine Vielzahl flächig nebeneinander angeordneter Einzel-LEDs, wie dies im Stand der Technik beispielsweise der US 2015/0308655 A1 offenbart ist. Diese im Stand der Technik verwendeten flächigen Einzel-LED-Anordnungen bedürfen ebenfalls mattenartig angeordneter Kunststofflinsen bzw. Linsenarrays, die der jeweiligen Einzel-LED zugeordnet sind, oder wie im Fall der US 2015/0308655 A1 von Fresnel-Linsen. Dies führt negativerweise zu Farbverschiebungen im Randbereich ins Grünliche, die einen negativen Einfluss auf das abgestrahlte Licht bewirken.Here, the inventive concept of the floodlight system provides that the novel floodlight comprises LED spotlights that can be aligned in different ways and can be arranged at the usual attachment points on the floodlight mast via a common support structure carrying the individual LED lights. What is essential here is that the LED spotlights involved have a single high-performance LED chip as a light source and not a large number of individual LEDs arranged flatly next to one another, as is the case in the prior art, for example US 2015/0308655 A1 is revealed. These flat individual LED arrangements used in the prior art also require plastic lenses or lens arrays arranged in the manner of a mat, which are assigned to the respective individual LED, or as in the case of the US 2015/0308655 A1 of Fresnel lenses. In a negative way, this leads to color shifts in the edge area into greenish tones, which have a negative effect on the emitted light.

Die Verwendung nur eines LED-Chips in jedem der LED-Strahler bewirkt in Kombination mit einer ebenfalls erfindungsrelevanten Reflektoroptik eine höhere Lichtausbeute und - qualität sowie eine Ausrichtbarkeit der Lichtabstrahlung, die ein zentrales Erfindungselement darstellt. Auch entfällt der negative Effekt der Farbverschiebung, da keine vorgesetzten Kunststofflinsen erforderlich sind, da diese Aufgabe der Lichtbündelung bzw. -streuung von je einem den LED-Chip umgebenden Reflektor gelöst wird.The use of only one LED chip in each of the LED emitters, in combination with reflector optics, which is also relevant to the invention, results in a higher light yield and quality as well as the ability to align the light emission, which is a central element of the invention. The negative effect of the color shift is also eliminated, since no plastic lenses in front are required, since this task of concentrating or scattering light is achieved by a reflector each surrounding the LED chip.

Ein zusätzlicher positiver Vorteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, dass die einzelnen, die Flutlichtleuchte bildenden LED-Strahler sehr kompakt gebaut werden können. Die LED-Chips sind in einem Stabilen Gehäuse mit vorgesetzter Reflektoroptik und einer den Strahler verschließenden, auf dem Reflektor aufsitzenden Frontscheibe sowohl in Bezug auf mechanische Beschädigung, wie auch in Bezug auf Verschmutzung und Witterungseinwirkungen deutlich besser geschützt, als dies in bekannten Flutlichtleuchten mit LED-Leuchtmitteln der Fall ist. Dies bewirkt wiederum eine verlängerte Standzeit der LED-Chips als Leuchtmittel und somit eine weitere Verbesserung der Wirtschaftlichkeit dieser Flutlichtleuchten in Relation zu bisherigen Lösungen wie auch zu alternativen LED-Flutlichtleuchten.An additional positive advantage of this solution is that the individual LED spotlights forming the floodlight can be built very compactly. The LED chips are in a stable housing with a reflector optic in front of them and a front pane that closes the spotlight and sits on the reflector, both in terms of mechanical damage, as well as in terms of soiling and the effects of the weather, are significantly better protected than in known floodlights with LED lights. Illuminants is the case. This in turn results in a longer service life of the LED chips as lighting means and thus a further improvement in the economic efficiency of these floodlights in relation to previous solutions as well as alternative LED floodlights.

Die Kombination aus LED-Chip und Reflektoroptik hat einen weiteren zentralen Vorteil, der gerade im Bereich der Flutlichtleuchten relevant ist. Da die Flutlichtbeleuchtung die Nutzbarkeit des Sportplatzes für den aktiven Sportler wie auch die Sicht des Publikum am Rand des Sportplatzes oder auf Tribünen ermöglichen soll, ist es ein zentrales Anliegen, die Blendung durch die Flutlichtleuchten für beide Gruppen zu minimieren. Auch hier sind die bisher verbreiteten flächigen Anordnungen einer LED-Vielzahl mit vorangesetzten Kunststofflinsen sehr nachteilig, da die Beteiligten bei einem Blick hin zu den Flutlichtleuchten stark geblendet werden, da sie direkt auf die LED-Leuchtmittel blicken.The combination of LED chip and reflector optics has another key advantage that is particularly relevant in the field of floodlights. Since the floodlight lighting should enable the sports field to be used by active athletes as well as the view of the audience at the edge of the sports field or on grandstands, it is a central concern to minimize the glare from the floodlights for both groups. Here, too, the previously widespread flat arrangements of a multitude of LEDs with pre-attached plastic lenses are very disadvantageous, since those involved are greatly dazzled when they look at the floodlights, as they look directly at the LED lamps.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung bewirkt, dass die extrem lichtstarken LED-Chips im LED-Strahler zurückgesetzt angeordnet sind, und so die vorangesetzte Reflektoroptik den direkten Blick auf das LED-Leuchtmittel reduziert. Es wird eine gezielte Streuung oder Bündelung je nach Ausrichtung des LED-Strahlers bewusst durch die Wahl einer geeigneten Reflektoroptik erreicht, wobei so eine Blendung von Aktiven wie Zuschauern signifikant reduziert werden kann.The arrangement according to the invention has the effect that the extremely bright LED chips are set back in the LED spotlight, and the reflector optics that are placed in front thus reduce the direct view of the LED illuminant. Targeted scattering or bundling, depending on the alignment of the LED spotlight, is consciously achieved through the choice of suitable reflector optics, whereby the glare of active people and spectators can be significantly reduced.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist nun so aufgebaut, dass jede LED-Flutlichtleuchte 4 LED-Strahler umfasst, die wie beschrieben gebildet sind zumindest aus einem Gehäuse), einem Kühlkörper, einer Reflektoroptik und einem Hochleistungs-LED-Chip, wobei die LED-Strahler paarweise an einem Trägerrahmen mit Gelenkverbindungen angeordnet sind. Es bildet sich so ein oberes LED-Strahlerpaar, das parallel ausgerichtet auf einem gemeinsamen Trägerelement aufsitzt und mit einer Reflektoroptik versehen ist, die einen engen Abstrahlwinkel bewirkt, wodurch die Lichtabstrahlung dieses LED-Strahlerpaars sich gleich ausgerichtet verstärkt und so weitere Strecken überwindet, um den mittleren Bereich des Sportplatzes zu erreichen. Die Anordnung über dem zweiten, unteren LED-Strahlerpaar ist bewusst gewählt, da das untere Paar flutlichtmastnahe Bereiche erfassen soll und bei einer Anordnung oberhalb nicht frei abstrahlen könnte.The solution according to the invention is now structured in such a way that each LED floodlight comprises 4 LED spotlights, which are formed as described at least from a housing), a heat sink, reflector optics and a high-performance LED chip, the LED spotlights on in pairs a support frame are arranged with articulated connections. In this way, an upper pair of LED spotlights is formed, which is seated in parallel on a common carrier element and is provided with reflector optics that produce a narrow beam angle, so that the light emission from this pair of LED spotlights is aligned in the same direction and thus covers longer distances. to reach the middle area of the sports field. The arrangement above the second, lower pair of LED spotlights was deliberately chosen, as the lower pair should cover areas near the floodlight mast and could not radiate freely with an arrangement above.

Ein unteres LED-Strahlerpaar ist nun im Gegensatz zum oberen statisch parallel ausgerichteten Paar auf je einem separat ausrichtbaren Trägerelement aufgesetzt und mit Reflektoroptiken versehen ist, die einen breiten Abstrahlwinkel bewirken, wodurch die Lichtabstrahlung dieses LED-Strahlerpaars zum einen getrennt voneinander ausrichtbar ist zur gezielten Ausleuchtung der dem Flutlichtmast näher liegenden randnahen Bereiche des Sportplatzes. Zum anderen wird durch den breiteren Abstrahlwinkel bewirkt dass diese Bereiche in der Nähe des Mastes auf die vergleichsweise kurze Distanzflächig ausgestrahlt werden können.A lower pair of LED spotlights, in contrast to the upper pair, which is statically aligned in parallel, is now placed on a separately alignable support element and is provided with reflector optics that cause a wide beam angle, so that the light emission of this pair of LED spotlights can be aligned separately from one another for targeted illumination the areas of the sports field near the edge that are closer to the floodlight mast. On the other hand, the wider radiation angle means that these areas near the mast can be broadcast over the comparatively short distance.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Bauform weist das obere LED-Strahlerpaar durch die verwendeten Gehäuse mit Reflektoroptik einen engen Abstrahlwinkel zwischen etwa 7° und 25° für die lange Distanz und die das untere LED-Strahlerpaar bildenden LED-Strahler einen breiten Abstrahlwinkel für die kurze Distanz zwischen etwa 40° und 60° auf. Auf diese Weise ist die angesprochene Ausleuchtung gezielt möglich.In an advantageous design, the upper LED spotlight pair has a narrow beam angle between about 7 ° and 25 ° for the long distance due to the housing with reflector optics and the LED spotlights forming the lower LED spotlight pair have a wide beam angle for the short distance between about 40 ° and 60 °. In this way, the mentioned illumination is possible in a targeted manner.

Diese Aspekte der variierenden Abstrahloptiken innerhalb einer erfindungsgemäßen Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchte sind ganz zentral, um die angestrebten vorteilhaften Effekte umsetzen zu können und stellen hierbei eine Lösung dar, die so im Stand der Technik nicht vorliegt, da hier in der Regel entweder einzelne sehr lichtstarke Strahler Anwendung finden, die bei großen Lichtverlusten dennoch keine gleichmäßige Feldabdeckung erreichen können, oder es wird mit einer großen Zahl von Einzelleuchten gearbeitet, die allerdings auch lediglich eine Aufsummierung in der Fläche bewirken sollen. Die gezielte Integration unterschiedlicher Strahler mit genauer Ausrichtung innerhalb einer Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchte wird so nicht realisiert oder nahegelegt.These aspects of the varying radiation optics within a high-performance LED floodlight luminaire according to the invention are very central in order to be able to implement the desired beneficial effects and represent a solution that is not available in the state of the art, since here, as a rule, either individual very bright ones Spotlights are used that still cannot achieve uniform field coverage in the event of large light losses, or a large number of individual lights are used which, however, only add up in the area should. The targeted integration of different spotlights with precise alignment within a high-performance LED floodlight is neither realized nor suggested.

In einer vorteilhaften Bauform ist hierbei an einem etwa U-förmigen Grundträger, der am Flutlichtmast zu befestigen ist, ein Querträger angeordnet, der eine paarweise Anordnung zweier LED-Strahlerleuchten trägt, die lediglich um eine Schwenkachse in ihrem Abstrahlwinkel auf den Sportplatz verändert werden können. Unterhalb dieser Anordnung befindet sich zumindest eine weitere gelenkige Halterung, die die bspw. zwei weiteren LED-Strahler trägt, die unabhängig voneinander und unabhängig von der paarweise angeordneten LED-Strahlern in zwei Gelenkebenen verschwenkbar sind, weshalb sie auf jeden beliebigen Punkt des Sportfeldes ausgerichtet werden können.In an advantageous design, a cross member is arranged on an approximately U-shaped base beam that is to be attached to the floodlight mast, which carries a paired arrangement of two LED spotlights, which can only be changed about a pivot axis in their beam angle on the sports field. Underneath this arrangement there is at least one more articulated bracket that carries, for example, two additional LED spotlights that can be pivoted independently of one another and independently of the paired LED spotlights in two joint planes, which is why they are aligned to any point on the sports field can.

Dies bewirkt bei der Anordnung des U-förmigen Trägers an einem Flutlichtmast, dass zum einen die zwei gelenkig individuell ausrichtbaren LED-Strahler beispielsweise zur Spielfeldecke und zu einer Außenlinie des Sportplatzes gerichtet werden können, und gleichzeitig die paarweise angeordneten Strahler quasi als Grundbeleuchtung zentral auf das Spielfeld gerichtet werden können. In der Praxis führt dies bei der Anordnung von beispielsweise 16 dieser Flutlichtleuchten an den sechs seitlichen, den Sportplatz umgebenden Flutlichtmasten, zu 64 einzelnen LED-Abstrahlungen aus den 64 LED-Strahlern. Bei einer gemäß dieser Bauform paarweisen Ausrichtung von 2 LED-Strahlern und 2 weiteren frei ausrichtbaren LED-Strahlern ergeben sich für jede der verbauten LED-Flutlichtleuchten 3 mögliche unterschiedliche Abstrahlwinkel, wodurch 48 verschiedene Lichtabstrahlungen aus den 16 Flutlichtleuchten auf den Sportplatz abgegeben werden können, so dass der Sportplatz vollständig und gleichmäßig beleuchtet ist.With the arrangement of the U-shaped support on a floodlight mast, this means that on the one hand the two individually adjustable LED spotlights can be directed towards the ceiling of the playing field and an outer line of the sports field, and at the same time the spotlights, which are arranged in pairs, act as basic lighting centrally on the Playing field can be directed. In practice, with the arrangement of, for example, 16 of these floodlights on the six side floodlight masts surrounding the sports field, this leads to 64 individual LED emissions from the 64 LED spotlights. With an alignment of 2 LED spotlights and 2 further freely adjustable LED spotlights in pairs according to this design, 3 possible different beam angles result for each of the built-in LED floodlights, whereby 48 different light emissions can be emitted from the 16 floodlights onto the sports field, see above that the sports field is fully and evenly lit.

Für eine vollflächige Beleuchtung bei diesen Gegebenheiten ist eine spezielle konzeptionelle Ausrichtung der Leuchten vorgesehen, um durch eine vorteilhafte Überschneidung der aus den Einzelabstrahlungen gebildeten Lichtfelder die gleichmäßige Verteilung auf dem Sportplatz optimieren zu können. Eine alternative Bauform der Flutlichtanlage sieht hierbei vor, dass spezielle Trägerrahmenanordnungen der Flutlichtleuchten so vorkonzeptioniert sind, dass bereits ohne spätere Ausrichtung der einzelnen Leuchten am Trägerrahmen die exakte Ausrichtung zum Sportfeld erreicht ist. Diese wird vorgegeben durch die Parameter der genauen Anordnung der Flutlichtmasten an den seitlichen Rändern des Sportplatzes, die Höhe der Anordnung der Flutlichtleuchten an den entsprechenden Flutlichtmasten sowie der grundsätzlichen Begrenzung bzw. Größe des Sportplatzes selbst.A special conceptual alignment of the Lights are provided in order to be able to optimize the uniform distribution on the sports field through an advantageous overlap of the light fields formed from the individual emissions. An alternative design of the floodlight system provides that special support frame arrangements of the floodlight luminaires are pre-conceptualized in such a way that the exact alignment to the sports field is achieved without later alignment of the individual luminaires on the support frame. This is specified by the parameters of the exact arrangement of the floodlight masts on the side edges of the sports field, the height of the arrangement of the floodlight lamps on the corresponding floodlight masts and the general limitation or size of the sports field itself.

Da diese Parameter bei bestehenden Sportplatzanlagen häufig standardisiert vorliegen, insbesondere aber bei neu angelegten Sportplätzen in einer mit der Flutlichanlage abgestimmten Vorkonzeptionierung vorgesehen werden können, ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, die speziellen Abwinklungen der einzelnen LED-Strahler der Flutlichtleuchten genau so vorzukonzeptionieren, dass die Flutlichtleuchten, mit den darin unterschiedlich ausgerichteten LED-Strahlern ohne weiteren Einstellungsbedarf an den definierten Punkten der Flutlichtmasten befestigt werden können.Since these parameters are often standardized in existing sports field facilities, but can be provided in a pre-conception coordinated with the floodlight system in particular for newly created sports fields, the invention provides for the special angles of the individual LED spotlights of the floodlight lamps to be pre-conceptualized so that the floodlight lamps, can be attached to the defined points of the floodlight masts with the differently aligned LED spotlights without further adjustment.

Hierdurch ergibt sich eine erfindungsgemäße Flutlichtanlage, bei der an den jeweiligen Flutlichtmasten speziell konfektionierte Flutlichtleuchten angeordnet werden, deren einzelne LED-Strahler jeweils nur für den speziellen Mast und Befestigungspunkt ausgelegt sind, an dem sie zu befestigen sind. Auf diese Weise ergeben sich in dieser Flutlichtanlage mehrere unterschiedlich vorkonzeptionierte Trägerrahmen für diese Flutlichtleuchten. Hierbei werden sich auch paarweise gleich gestaltete Trägerrahmen ergeben, beispielsweise bei den auf etwa der Höhe der Mittellinie des Sportfeldes angeordneten sich gegenüber stehenden Flutlichtmasten oder auch bei den sich diagonal gegenüber liegenden in etwa an den Ecken des Spielfeldes angeordneten Masten, bei denen gleiche Trägerrahmenkonfigurationen verwendet werden können.This results in a floodlight system according to the invention, in which specially assembled floodlights are arranged on the respective floodlight masts, the individual LED spotlights of which are each designed only for the special mast and attachment point to which they are to be attached. In this way, this floodlight system results in several different, preconceived support frames for these floodlights. This will also result in pairs of identically designed carrier frames, for example in the case of the floodlight masts arranged opposite one another at approximately the level of the center line of the sports field or also in the case of the diagonally opposite masts arranged approximately at the corners of the playing field, in which the same support frame configurations can be used.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil und somit auch ein zwingender Aspekt zur wirtschaftlichen Anwendung der LED-Beleuchtung an Sportplätzen ist hierbei, dass die erfindungsgemäße Flutlichtanlage den im Stand der Technik üblichen Verlust an Lichtabstrahlung, die entweder Bereiche des Sportfeldes beleuchtet, die bereits hinreichend ausgeleuchtet sind oder die über die Außenkanten des zu beleuchtenden Sportplatzes hinaus abstrahlen, minimiert. Hier spielt auch eine Rolle, dass erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist, dass die unterschiedlichen LED-Strahler, die in einer Flutlichtleuchte zusammen wirken, auch unterschiedlich konfektioniert sein können in Bezug auf sowohl deren Lichtleistung aber auch in Bezug auf deren Optik. Es werden daher erfindungsgemäß unterschiedliche Reflektoren in den in einer Flutlichtleuchte gemeinsam verwendeten LED-Strahlern eingesetzt.An essential advantage and therefore also a mandatory aspect for the economic use of LED lighting on sports fields is that the floodlight system according to the invention eliminates the loss of light radiation that is usual in the prior art, which either illuminates areas of the sports field that are already sufficiently illuminated or that are over radiate out the outer edges of the sports field to be illuminated, minimized. It also plays a role here that it is provided according to the invention that the different LED spotlights that work together in a floodlight can also be made up differently in terms of both their light output and their optics. According to the invention, therefore, different reflectors are used in the LED spotlights that are commonly used in a floodlight.

Auf diese Weise weist beispielsweise ein am Eckmast der Flutlichtanlage vergleichsweise steil nach unten in eine Ecke des Sportplatzes abstrahlender LED-Strahler eine andere Lichtstärke und Streueigenschaften auf, als ein in derselben Flutlichtleuchte verwendeter auf das Feld mittig ausgerichteter LED-Strahler. Auf diese Weise ist es zusätzlich möglich, die Beleuchtung des Sportfeldes zu optimieren und gleichzeitig nur die Leistungsaufnahme durch die Kombination der einzelnen LED-Strahler in den Flutlichtleuchten zu beanspruchen, die tatsächlich erforderlich ist, um die normierte Lichtstärke auf dem Spielfeld zu erreichen. Dies ist eine wesentliche Abweichung und Verbesserung gegenüber dem breit streuenden und insofern nicht differenziert abstrahlenden Flutlichtleuchten, die aktuell auch im Bereich der LED-Flutlichtplanungen zum Einsatz kommen.In this way, for example, an LED spotlight that radiates comparatively steeply downward into a corner of the sports field on the corner mast of the floodlight system has a different light intensity and diffusion properties than an LED spotlight used in the same floodlight that is centered on the field. In this way, it is also possible to optimize the lighting of the sports field and at the same time only use the power consumption through the combination of the individual LED spotlights in the floodlights, which is actually required to achieve the standardized light intensity on the playing field. This is a significant deviation and improvement compared to the wide-spread and therefore not differentiated emitting floodlight luminaires, which are currently also used in the field of LED floodlight planning.

Aus Figur 1 wird deutlich, wie momentan die große Mehrheit der Sportplätze mit Flutlichtanlagen ausgestattet sind. An den Längskanten des Sportfeldes sind je 3 Flutlichtmasten 2 aufgestellt, an deren oberen Ende die Flutlichtleuchten montiert sind. Bei den traditionellen Leuchtmitteln sind hierbei an den Ecken je eine und in der Mitte je 2 derartige Flutlichtleuchten an den Masten montiert.Out Figure 1 it becomes clear how the vast majority of sports fields are currently equipped with floodlights. On the long edges of the sports field 3 floodlight masts 2 are set up, at the upper end of which the floodlights are mounted. With the traditional light sources, one such floodlight lamp is mounted on the masts at each corner and two in the middle.

Die weiteren Figuren 2 bis 4 betreffen die erfindungsgemäße Hochleistungs-LED-Flutlichtleuchte 1 und den hierfür neu entwickelten Trägerrahmen.The others Figures 2 to 4 relate to the high-performance LED floodlight 1 according to the invention and the support frame newly developed for this.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen hierbei auch die montierten LED-Strahler, wobei bei dieser Bauform am Trägerrahmen 4 LED-Strahler gelenkig montiert sind. Diese LED-Strahler sind gebildet aus einem rückwärtigen Kühlkörper 5, an den ein Gehäuse 6 anschließt, in dem nicht dargestellt der LED-Chip sowie diesem vorangesetzt die Reflektoroptik angeordnet sind. Abgeschlossen wird diese bauliche Einheit durch eine Frontscheibe 7, wodurch der LED-Strahler komplett geschlossen ausgebildet werden kann, die Wärmeabfuhr vom LED-Chip aber durch den direkt rückseitig an diesen anschließenden Kühlkörper voll gesichert ist.The Figures 2 and 3 also show the mounted LED spotlights, whereby in this design 4 LED spotlights are articulated on the carrier frame. These LED spotlights are formed from a rear heat sink 5, to which a housing 6 is connected, in which the LED chip (not shown) and the reflector optics are arranged in front of it. This structural unit is closed by a front panel 7, whereby the LED spotlight can be designed to be completely closed, but the heat dissipation from the LED chip is fully secured by the heat sink directly attached to the back.

Diese LED-Strahler sind nun erfindungsgemäß montiert auf Trägerelemente 4 und 4', wobei in der dargestellten Bauform das Trägerelement 4 zwei parallele LED-Strahler trägt und die zwei weiteren Trägerelemente 4' je einen LED-Strahler, wobei die Trägerelemente 4' unabhängig voneinander schwenkbar ausgebildet sind. Das Trägerelement 4 ist hierbei seitlich an den freien Enden eines U-förmigen Grundkörper 3 des Trägerrahmens gelenkig befestigt, in der Darstellung durch Schrauben 10 gehalten. Hier kann demnach ein Verschwenken des ersten Trägerelementes 4 und der daran angeordneten LED-Strahler um eine Schwenkachse hin zum Sportfeld erfolgen. Die zweiten Trägerelemente 4' werden ebenfalls am ersten Trägerelement 4 geführt, weisen gegenüber dessen Schwenkbewegung aber eine weitere Ausrichtbarkeit um zwei weitere Schwenkachsen auf.According to the invention, these LED emitters are now mounted on carrier elements 4 and 4 ', with the carrier element 4 carrying two parallel LED emitters and the two further carrier elements 4' each carrying an LED emitter, with the carrier elements 4 'being pivotable independently of one another are trained. The carrier element 4 is in this case articulated to the side of the free ends of a U-shaped base body 3 of the carrier frame, and is held by screws 10 in the illustration. In this case, the first carrier element 4 and the LED spotlights arranged on it can accordingly be pivoted about a pivot axis towards the sports field. The second carrier elements 4 'are also guided on the first carrier element 4, but compared to its pivoting movement they can be further aligned about two further pivot axes.

Dies wird erreicht durch einen Trägerarm 12, der am ersten Trägerelement rückseitig befestigt ist, bzw. mit diesem eine bauliche Einheit bildet. An diesem Trägerarm 12 sind Trägerkörper 13 schwenkbar in der ersten Gelenkverbindung 11 angelenkt, in der dargestellten Bauform mittels Bohrungen im freien Ende des Trägerarms 12 sowie in den Trägerkörpern 13, die mittels einer Verbindungsschraube zur ersten Gelenkverbindung 11 verbunden werden.This is achieved by a support arm 12 which is attached to the rear of the first support element or which forms a structural unit with it. On this support arm 12, support bodies 13 are pivotably articulated in the first articulated connection 11, in the design shown by means of bores in the free end of the support arm 12 and in the support bodies 13, which are connected to the first articulated connection 11 by means of a connecting screw.

Neben dieser ersten Schwenkachse um den Trägerarm 12 weisen die zwei einzelnen LED-Strahler an den zweiten Trägerelementen 13 eine weitere Schwenkachse an einer zweiten Gelenkverbindung 8 zwischen den zweiten Trägerelementen 4' und dem Trägerkörpern 13 auf, die in der dargestellten Bauform gegenüber der ersten Gelenkverbindung 11 um 90° versetzt ist. So ist gewährleistet, dass diese zwei einzelnen LED-Strahler ausreichende Freiheitsgrade aufweisen, um diese auf eine beliebige Stelle des auszuleuchtenden Sportplatzes richten zu können.In addition to this first pivot axis about the support arm 12, the two individual LED spotlights on the second support elements 13 have a further pivot axis on a second articulated connection 8 between the second carrier elements 4 'and the carrier body 13, which is offset by 90 ° in the illustrated design with respect to the first articulated connection 11. This ensures that these two individual LED spotlights have sufficient degrees of freedom to be able to direct them to any point on the sports field to be illuminated.

Die Trägerelemente 4 und 4' weisen rückwärtige Bohrungen auf, um eine Verkabelung der LED-Strahler durch die Kühlkörper 5 vornehmen zu können.The carrier elements 4 and 4 ′ have holes at the rear in order to be able to cabling the LED emitters through the heat sinks 5.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist zudem erkennbar, dass das LED-Strahler-Gehäuse 6 in verschiedenen Bauformen in einer Flutlichtleuchte verbaut werden kann. Hierfür wird bei den Bezifferungen 6' und 6" deutlich, dass das Gehäuse 6" deutlich kürzer gebaut ist. Somit ist auch der eingesetzte Reflektor deutlich flacher gebaut und hat somit abweichende Abstrahleigenschaften gegenüber dem Reflektor, der in Gehäuse 6' verbaut ist. Auf diese Weise können in einer Flutlichtleuchte durch die Wahl unterschiedlicher Bauformen von LED-Strahlern in Bezug auf Reflektoren, Gehäuse und LED-Chips unterschiedliche Lichtabstrahlungen realisiert werden, die zudem noch unterschiedlich ausgerichtet sind, was das große Maß an Variabilität dieser Flutlichtleuchten verdeutlicht.In the Figures 2 and 3 it can also be seen that the LED spotlight housing 6 can be installed in different designs in a floodlight. For this, it becomes clear from the numbers 6 'and 6 "that the housing 6" is built significantly shorter. Thus, the reflector used is also built much flatter and thus has different radiation properties compared to the reflector that is built into the housing 6 '. In this way, by choosing different designs of LED spotlights in terms of reflectors, housings and LED chips, different light emissions can be realized in a floodlight, which are also aligned differently, which illustrates the great degree of variability of these floodlights.

Diese Funktion wird zudem im Abstrahlschema der Figur 5 deutlich. Hier ist anhand der von den Flutlichtmasten A und B abgehenden Pfeile schematisch dargestellt, wie die Lichtabstrahlung der Flutlichtleuchten 1 erfolgt. Es sind hierbei jeweils kürzeren Pfeile 18 und längerer Pfeile 17 dargestellt, was verdeutlicht, dass hier die Abstrahldistanzen der in einer Flutlichtleuchte verbauten LED Strahler 14 sehr unterschiedlich festgelegt sind. Die kürzeren Pfeile 18 bewegen sich in einem engeren Radius um den jeweiligen Mast A oder B und bewirken hier die Ausstrahlung des Spielfeldes gerade in den problematischen Rand- und Eckbereichen eine Spielfelds, die bei herkömmlichen Flutlichtanlagen oft sehr schwach und somit häufig auch entgegen der eigentlichen Normierung unterbeleuchtet sind.This function is also used in the radiation pattern of Figure 5 clear. Here, based on the arrows extending from the floodlight masts A and B, it is shown schematically how the light emission of the floodlights 1 takes place. Here, shorter arrows 18 and longer arrows 17 are shown, which makes it clear that the radiation distances of the LED spotlights 14 built into a floodlight are set very differently here. The shorter arrows 18 move in a narrower radius around the respective mast A or B and here cause the playing field to radiate precisely in the problematic edge and corner areas of a playing field with conventional floodlight systems are often very weak and therefore often under-lit contrary to the actual standardization.

Figur 5 zeigt hierbei 2 sich gegenüberliegende mittig angeordnete Flutlichtmasten A und 4 eckennah angeordnete Flutlichtmasten B. Dieses in den Ecken angeordneten Flutlichtmasten B sind entsprechend diesem Beispiel mit je 2 der erfindungsgemäßen Flutlichtleuchten 1 ausgestattet und tragen somit insgesamt 8 LED-Strahler 14. Von diesen 8 LED-Strahlern 14 sind erfindungsgemäß je 2 Strahlerpaare 15 parallel angeordnet und weisen entsprechende Reflektorgehäuse auf, die eine Abstrahlung über eine längere Distanz durch die gegenseitige Verstärkung und eine engere Reflektoroptik ermöglichen. Da es 2 solche Paare 15 an einem Flutlichtmasten B in der Ecke des Platzes gibt, gibt es auch 2 von diesem Mast B ausgehende lange Pfeile 17, die in die Mitte des Spielfeldes abstrahlen und somit den zentralen Feldbereich beleuchten. Figure 5 shows 2 opposing, centrally arranged floodlight masts A and 4 floodlight masts B arranged close to the corner. According to the invention, radiators 14 are arranged in parallel with 2 pairs of radiators 15 and have corresponding reflector housings, which enable radiation over a longer distance due to the mutual reinforcement and a narrower reflector optics. Since there are 2 such pairs 15 on a floodlight pole B in the corner of the square, there are also 2 long arrows 17 emanating from this pole B, which radiate into the center of the playing field and thus illuminate the central field area.

Hinzu kommen 4 unterschiedlich ausgerichtete kurze Pfeile 18, die für die mit breiter Abstrahloptik versehenen unteren LED Strahlerpaare 16 stehen. Bei 2 verwendeten Flutlichtleuchten 1 an einem in der Ecke positionierten Flutlichtmast B ergeben sich daher insgesamt 4 einzelne Lichtabstrahlungspfeile 18, die in der Ecke des auszuleuchtenden Spielfeldes in unterschiedliche Richtungen abstrahlen und somit auch diesen Bereich wirkungsvoll in vorgeschriebener Form ausstrahlen.In addition, there are 4 differently aligned short arrows 18, which stand for the lower LED spotlight pairs 16 provided with a wide beam optics. With 2 floodlights 1 used on a floodlight mast B positioned in the corner, there are therefore a total of 4 individual light radiation arrows 18, which radiate in different directions in the corner of the field to be illuminated and thus also effectively radiate this area in the prescribed form.

Da die Beleuchtung des Spielfelds mit den 6 seitlich Masten A und B als eine Art Spiegelung eines Halbfeldes betrachtet werden kann, findet sich bei den mittleren Masten A eine genau doppelte Bestückung in Verhältnis zu den Eckmasten B. D.h., an einem mittleren Mast A sind 4 dieser erfindungsgemäßen Flutlichtleuchten 1 angeordnet, weshalb auch von einem mittleren Mast A ausgehend im Beleuchtungsschema 4 lange Pfeile 17 und 8 kurze Pfeile 18 vorliegen, die teilweise das mittlere Feld und teilweise den Randbereich des Spielfeldes abdecken.Since the lighting of the playing field with the 6 lateral masts A and B can be viewed as a kind of reflection of a half field, the middle masts A are exactly doubled in relation to the corner masts BDh, on a central mast A there are 4 of these according to the invention Floodlights 1 arranged, which is why long arrows starting from a central mast A in the lighting scheme 4 17 and 8 short arrows 18 are present, which partially cover the middle field and partially the edge area of the playing field.

Dieses Beleuchtungsschema verdeutlicht die große Stärke des erfindungsgemäßen Flutlicht-Leuchtenkonzeptes, da die Lichtabstrahlung mit einer sehr überschaubaren Zahl von LED-Hochleistungs-Leuchten erreicht werden kann, da diese individualisierte sind sowohl von ihren Abstrahleigenschaften her als auch von ihrer Ausrichtung auf das Spielfeld her und somit erreicht wird, dass keine Redundanzen der Abstrahlung in Bereichen stattfinden, in denen im Grunde genommen bereits eine ausreichende Lichtqualität vorliegt und umgekehrt nicht Randbereiche und Bereiche vernachlässigt werden, die ebenso wichtig sind und gleich behandelt werden sollten, wie beispielsweise die Mitte des Feldes.This lighting scheme illustrates the great strength of the floodlight lighting concept according to the invention, since the light emission can be achieved with a very manageable number of LED high-performance lights, since these are individualized both in terms of their radiation properties and their alignment on the playing field and thus What is achieved is that there are no redundancies in radiation in areas in which there is basically already sufficient light quality and, conversely, edge areas and areas that are just as important and should be treated the same, such as the center of the field, are not neglected.
