Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a flat luminaire having a luminaire body, a lighting electronic, a light source and a luminaire cover.
  • the invention is also directed to a method of manufacturing such a flat luminaire.
  • Such flat luminaires are known in the prior art and usually used as outdoor luminaires in many applications, lighting road infrastructures, public areas and many more.
  • the current flat luminaire solutions are typically composed of die casted parts, particularly the luminaire housing.
  • die casted parts are expensive and require global shipment, which thus make further impact to the environment. Due to the vast range of requirements, this often results in many tools and components needed to fulfil the marked needs.
  • die casted parts for luminaires, particularly for outdoor use are prone to cracking, e.g., when being tightly fastened to a street light pole which requires, due to air streams and other external influences, a tight fit.
  • Luminaires of this type are exemplarily shown in US 2019/0309935 A1 , WO 2015/063805 A1 , FR 3 073 605 A1 , US 2011/0057081 A1 , and US 2014/0218941 A1 .
  • the present invention is directed to a flat luminaire, like a flat outdoor luminaire.
  • the luminaire comprises a flat, three-dimensional luminaire body being made of a metal sheet.
  • the luminaire further comprises a lighting electronic and a light source being operably connected to the lighting electronic.
  • the luminaire comprises a luminaire cover having a light transmission section to allow light to pass through and a receiving section for at least partially receiving the lighting electronic.
  • the luminaire cover is attached to the luminaire body such that the light transmission section covers the light source so that light of the light source can emit through the light transmission section.
  • the luminaire body being made of a metal sheet allows for an easy, flexible and economic production of the luminaire body.
  • the luminaire body is made of a metal sheet, smooth and flat outer surfaces are provided for an easier surface enhancement. These flat surfaces allow for an easy wrapping or branding by simply painting, printing or attaching stickers or the like. Due to its three-dimensional layout, even though being made of a metal sheet, the luminaire body still has sufficient form stability. As the luminaire body still has a flat layout, its exposure to external influences, like wind, can be minimized.
  • metal sheets can be easily machined, any flat but three-dimensional layout can be easily obtained to allow for production of a wide range of desired shapes to fulfil customer's technical and aesthetical needs. Hence, a form factor flexibility can be obtained with minimal investment, i.e. at low costs.
  • the use of a metal sheet versus die casted parts enables greater torques without bending or cracking.
  • the components made of a metal sheet are also easier to store and transport, thus having a reduced environmental impact than die casted
  • the luminaire body may comprise a base section substantially extending parallel to a plane. Such a base section allows for a flat layout of the luminaire while providing sufficient space for providing or attaching components, like the lighting electronic, the light source and/or the luminaire cover.
  • the luminaire body may comprise at least one side wall section extending from the base section preferably obliquely or perpendicularly to the plane.
  • the luminaire body comprises at least two side wall sections laterally flanking the base section.
  • the side wall(s), particularly in connection with the base section, preferably give the luminaire body an advantageous but simple three-dimensional layout to give the luminaire body a desired form stability.
  • the luminaire body may have a substantially U-shaped cross-section or even a U-shaped layout.
  • the luminaire body can be easily manufactured when being made of a metal sheet, it comprises a simple and thus easily producible layout, and still gives the luminaire body a sufficient form stability.
  • the luminaire cover preferably the light transmission section, and the luminaire body, preferably the base section, delimit a lighting space for receiving the light source, preferably sealing enclosing the lighting space.
  • the light source can be securely provided within the lighting space and can thus be protected against external influences, like wind or any impacts.
  • the light source can further be protected against dust and water.
  • a receiving space for receiving the lighting electronic preferably sealingly enclosing the lighting electronic.
  • the light transmission section and the receiving section can be separately or integrally formed. If being provided separately, higher flexibility, e.g. for maintenance purposes, can be given. When being integrally formed, manufacturing costs can be reduced and assembly facilitated.
  • the lighting space and the receiving space can preferably be connected. They thus can form a connected luminaire space which may result in production as well as assembly be facilitated.
  • a connected and sealed luminaire space for receiving both the lighting electronic and the light source can be provided.
  • the luminaire cover may comprise a rim section at least partially and preferably circumferentially surrounding the light transmission section and/or the receiving section.
  • the luminaire cover can comprise a kind of flange-like section, e.g. for easily attaching the luminaire cover to the luminaire body.
  • the rim section may give the luminaire cover more form stability.
  • the luminaire cover also has a flat, three-dimensional layout.
  • the rim section may extend within a plane. Hence, attachment to the luminaire body can be facilitated; particularly in a case where the luminaire body comprises the base section substantially extending in parallel to a plane.
  • the planes can thus be identical.
  • the luminaire cover preferably the rim section, on the one side and the luminaire body, preferably the base section, on the other side can sandwich a sealing element. Therefore, the luminaire cover and/or the luminaire body may comprise a (circumferential) groove for receiving the sealing element.
  • the sealing element can, for instance, be a cord seal or the like.
  • the luminaire body can be made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, like aluminium. Hence, the luminaire body can function as a heat sink and additional heat sink elements or structures are not required. Due to the flat layout, air can easily stream along the outer surface of the luminaire body, thus facilitating the heat dissipation especially during operation of the luminaire.
  • the use of aluminium is also favourable with respect to corrosion issues.
  • the luminaire body can be made by deep-drawing and/or punching and/or cutting, like laser-cutting, and/or bending of the metal sheet.
  • the metal sheet can be transferred into many desired shapes thus increasing the flexibility of the luminaire and allow for fulfilling many aesthetical demands.
  • the luminaire cover comprises an electronics cover section for selectively opening and closing, preferably sealingly closing, the receiving section, preferably the receiving space.
  • the luminaire cover, preferable the light transmission section comprises a lighting cover section for selectively opening and closing, preferably sealingly closing, the light transmission section, preferable the lighting space.
  • the respective section can be easily accessed, e.g. for maintenance reasons. Also, components can be easily exchanged.
  • the light emission can be adjusted if the replaceable lighting cover section comes along with optical features, like (e.g. integrally formed) lenses, (e.g. integrated) optical materials (e.g. light defusing materials or light conversion materials) or (e.g. applied) optical structures and the like.
  • the luminaire cover at least the light transmission section or the light cover section, can be made of a translucent material, preferably plastic, glass or any other optical material. If desired, any parts of the luminaire cover which should not allow light passing through can, for instance, be opaque, e.g. by being provided with an opaque (e.g. black) coating or the like.
  • the luminaire cover can at least partially be made by injection moulding. Hence, the luminaire cover can be produced easily and economically. Moreover, when being made by injection moulding, the luminaire cover can be made, for instance, by a lightweight material, like plastic. Hence, the overall weight of the luminaire can be minimized. Also, the overall costs for such a luminaire can be reduced and assembly be facilitated.
  • the light source may comprise an LED and preferably is or comprises an LED-module. Hence, a low-cost, efficient and long-lasting light source can be used.
  • the light source can be provided to be in flat contact with the luminaire body, preferably its base section. This allows for good heat dissipation from the light source to the luminaire body, the latter preferably being exposed to the surrounding air and, if provided as outdoor luminaire, preferably being exposed to strong air streams thus further increasing the heat dissipation.
  • the flat luminaire further comprises an attachment element for attaching the luminaire to a mounting feature, like a pole/post, preferably a lamppost for a street light.
  • a mounting feature like a pole/post, preferably a lamppost for a street light.
  • the attachment element can be made by die casting or, like the luminaire body, of a metal sheet. If made by die casting, commonly used attachment elements can be used to thus increase the number of same parts. If being made of a metal sheet, the same advantages as described for the luminaire body being made of a metal sheet also apply for the attachment element, e.g. being easily producible, lightweight but form stable and can be easily formed into various aesthetical and technically desired shapes.
  • the attachment element comprises a fixing section forming a mounting opening for receiving a mounting feature (like the mentioned pole) to attach the luminaire.
  • the luminaire can thus be easily attached to a mounting feature by simply inserting the mounting feature into the mounting opening.
  • the luminaire can thus, for instance, be easily fixed to the mounting feature by tightening screws or even simply by frictional connection.
  • the fixing section comprises a stepped section facing towards the mounting opening, preferably to at least partially circumferentially delimit the same, so as to allow for receipt of mounting features having different diameters.
  • This design allows for mounting feature (e.g. pole) flexibility in terms of diameter and position (top, side, etc.).
  • the stepped section can be formed by providing steps or waves or any other kind of irregular edge forming of the metal sheet so that the respective irregularity faces towards the mounting opening to thus allow for different diameters be provided by the mounting opening.
  • the fixing section can be adjustable, preferably by a clamping element being even more preferred positioned opposite to the stepped section, to adjust a diameter or cross-section of the mounting opening. Hence, the mounting flexibility of the luminaire can be further increased.
  • the attachment element may further comprise a hinge element so that the luminaire body can be pivoted relatively to the fixing section (i.e. to a mounting feature if being attached thereto).
  • the luminaire can be adjusted in its mounting angle thus increasing the flexibility of use of the luminaire with respect to its light emission direction.
  • the hinge element is preferably provided between and further preferred connecting the fixing section and the luminaire body.
  • the present invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a flat luminaire comprising the steps of:
  • the luminaire body By using a metal sheet for producing the luminaire body, the latter can be produced easily and cost-efficiently. Also, the so produced luminaire body with its three-dimensional but still flat layout allows for the form stable luminaire body which can easily carry the luminaire cover, the lighting electronic and the light source while still having a flat layout so that the luminaire can be easily used as an outdoor luminaire with increased flow properties.

  • the through holes 20, 21 can be used for different purposes, e.g., insertion of screws for fixture reasons or insertion of other elements, like sensors, or leading-through external cables or the like for electrical purposes, and many more.

  • an attachment element 7 the same can be made by die-casting or made of a corresponding metal sheet 70', 71', as exemplarily shown in Figures 8 and 10 , thus obtaining the elements (fixing section 70, mounting section 71) as shown in Figures 9 and 11 .
  • a lighting electronic 3 and a light source 4 are provided and operably connected to each other.
  • the lighting electronic 3 can be supplied with power by an integrated battery and/or by an external power supply as described here in the above.
  • a luminaire cover 5 having a light transmission section 50 to allow light to pass through and a receiving section 51 is attached to the luminaire body 2 such that the light transmission section 50 covers the light source 4 so that light of the light source 4 can emit through the light transmission section 50 and such that the receiving section 51 at least partially receives the lighting electronic 3.
  • the light transmission section 50 and the receiving section 51 can be integrally formed and may delimit and preferably sealingly enclose a lighting space 54 and receiving space 56, respectively, together with the luminaire body 2.
  • the so manufactured flat luminaire 1 can be attached to a mounting feature 8, like a lamppost 8, by means of an attachment element 7, if present.
  • the attachment element 7 can comprise the fixing section 70 being preferably adjustable to allow for a flexible attachment of the luminaire 1 to any desired mounting feature 8, e.g. having any desired diameter or cross-section. Therefore, the mounting feature 8 can be inserted into the mounting opening 72 and then fixed by any desired fixing means, like the clamping element 74 to firmly attach the luminaire 1 to the mounting feature 8.
  • the attachment element 7 comprises a hinge or pivoting section 75, the luminaire body 2 can be pivoted in the desired orientation and then fixed in this pivoting angel, e.g.
  • FIGS 1C and 1D Different fixing angles are exemplarily shown in Figures 1C and 1D .
  • the top end of the mounting feature 8 extends horizontally which requires the luminaire body 2 to extend from the fixing section 70 also in a horizontal manner.
  • the top end of the mounting feature 8 extends vertically, so that the luminaire body 2 here is pivoted in an orientation with respect to the fixing section 70 to extend orthogonally therefrom, so that in each of the two before-mentioned cases the light source 4 is directed to emit light downwards, e.g. towards a ground G, like a sidewalk or a street, as exemplarily shown in Figure 3A .
