Description

Focus for vehicles.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in The statement of this specification refers to a focus for vehicles whose essential purpose is to provide a focus of the so-called search engines for use in cars patrol or similar and that allows to dispense with the bulbs incandescent normals that routinely use this type of spotlights For this, the invention provides a focus on which lighting elements consist of led diode spotlights arranged in horizontal alignment and mounted on a stand that facilitates the elevation and azimuth angles required for the orientation of that focus alignment; also allowing the inclusion of a video recording camera that can take advantage of the orientation facilities of the focus of the invention.

Background of the invention

Spotlights called search engines are known for their preferred employment in patrol cars and the like that are equipped with a transparent housing fixed to the roof of a vehicle, presenting the aforementioned housing inside lighting elements and means of orientation of said elements. Conventionally, the aforementioned lighting elements consist of conventional incandescent bulbs, or lamps halogen, both presenting relative disadvantages mainly to its high consumption, its excessive heating and a shorter duration than one might wish because they melt with relative ease.

An antecedent of this type of searchlights conventional can be seen in the utility model 200001640.

We do not know in the current state of the art no type of search focus that you use as elements of lighting a horizontal alignment of led spotlights arranged on a tilting plate which in turn is on a support rotating, as is the focus of the present invention.

Description of the invention

To achieve the objectives and avoid drawbacks indicated in previous sections, the invention it consists of a focus for vehicles, preferably usable for  patrol cars as a searchlight focus and that has a housing transparent fixed to the roof of a vehicle, existing in the inside the housing lighting elements and means of orientation of said elements.

Novelly, according to the present invention, These lighting elements consist of LED spotlights arranged in horizontal alignment on a tilting plate that allows to establish and vary an elevation angle, meeting in turn arranged that plate on a rotating support that allows set and vary an azimuth angle.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the aforementioned tilting plate and the aforementioned rotating support are moved through gears connected to respective motors. Also in that preferred embodiment of the invention, the foci of The plate are arranged in number of six.

On the other hand, the aforementioned tiltable plate is capable of incorporating a video recording camera that you can take advantage of the plate orientation facilities Tilt and swivel stand.

With the structure described, the invention has the advantages that the lighting elements  of the corresponding focus have a very low consumption at be LED diodes, so its heating is also very scarce and its duration in very long time. Another advantage of the invention consists in the ease of incorporating a camera of video recording on the tilt focus plate, so that said camera may act in combination with the elements of lighting or independently.

Then, to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, some figures are accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the figures

Figure 1.- Represents a perspective view. of a focus for vehicles made according to the present invention and mounted on the roof of a vehicle.

Figure 2.- Represents a perspective view. of the internal elements of the focus of the previous figure 1, said elements being mounted.

Figure 3.- Represents a perspective view. exploded from the focus elements of the previous figure 2.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

Following is a description of a example of the invention with reference to numbering Adopted in the figures.

Thus, the focus for vehicles of the present example it is mounted on the roof 1 of a vehicle, preferably a car patrol that will use it as a search focus, as has represented in figure 1.

The bulb has a transparent housing 2, in whose interior there are some lighting elements 3 and some  Guidance means, 4 to 7, which allow establishing and varying the position of the corresponding light beam, being able to appreciate that housing 2, those elements 3 and those orientation means 4 to 7 in Figure 1

The lighting elements that have been alluded to they consist of LED spotlights 3 arranged in alignment horizontal and in number of six on a tilting plate 5, according to can be seen in figure 2.

In turn this tilting plate 5, which allows to set and vary an elevation angle, is mounted on a rotating support 4 that facilitates the setting and variation of an azimuth angle, as you can can be seen in figures 2 and 3.

In the present example, the tilting plate 5 and the rotating support 4 are moved through gears connected to respective motors 7 and 6, as seen in the Figures 2 and 3, not discarding another type of drive for other examples.

A tilt plate 5 can be mounted video recording camera that will not be subjected to a large heating, since the 3 led bulbs present in their operating a relatively low temperature, benefiting also said chamber of the orientation facilities of the referred plate 5.
