Description

Luminaria para guardarraíl.Luminaire for guardrail.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una luminaria para guardarraíl, con unas características estructurales de configuración que se adapta perfectamente al perfil del guardarraíl, resultando además autónoma en su funcionamiento.The present invention relates to a luminaire for guardrail, with structural characteristics of configuration that adapts perfectly to the profile of the guardrail, being also autonomous in its operation.

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un medio de iluminación que puede ser integrado perfectamente en la forma de un guardarraíl, al objeto de mejorar la visibilidad del trazado de la carretera durante la noche y en consecuencia aumentar de forma considerable la seguridad vial.The object of the invention is to provide a lighting medium that can be perfectly integrated into the shape of a guardrail, in order to improve the visibility of the road layout at night and consequently increase considerably road safety.

Background of the invention

Normalmente existen dos tipos de sistemas para señalización de viales integrados en guardarraíles, uno de ellos conocido como "sistema reflectante" se basa en paneles reflectantes que reflejan la luz recibida de los focos de los vehículos, marcando el trazado del vial, mientras que el otro sistema denominado "sistema luminoso" se basa en unas luminarias autónomas o conectadas a red de distintos tamaños y formas para señalización del vial, estando normalmente dichas luminarias en la parte superior de los guardarraíles o en señales propias, de manera que en este segundo caso, es decir con las citadas luminarias, que se acaban de comentar y que son alimentadas a través de red, no están diseñadas para adaptarse a la configuración concreta de los guardarraíles, sino que van dispuestas en la parte superior de éstos.Normally there are two types of systems for road signs integrated in guardrails, one of them known as "reflective system" is based on panels reflectors that reflect the light received from the foci of the vehicles, marking the layout of the road, while the other system called "light system" is based on some autonomous or network connected luminaires of different sizes and forms for signaling the vial, said being normally luminaires on top of guardrails or in signals own, so in this second case, that is to say with the cited luminaries, which have just been commented and that are fed over the network, they are not designed to adapt to the concrete configuration of the guardrails, but they are arranged on top of these.

Description of the invention

La luminaria que se preconiza presenta una serie de particularidades en base a las cuales se consigue que resulte autónoma y perfectamente adaptable al perfil del guardarraíl, quedando perfectamente integrada en éste y resultando visible de forma óptima.The recommended luminaire presents a series of particularities based on which it is achieved that it results autonomous and perfectly adaptable to the guardrail profile, being perfectly integrated in it and being visible from optimal way.

Mas concretamente, la luminaria de la invención se constituye a partir de un soporte o cuerpo base, con un perfil formal y dimensionalmente adecuado para adaptarse perfectamente a la bionda o guardarraíl, fijándose a éste a través de un vástago pasante por una placa prevista frontalmente en el cuerpo base y a través del propio guardarraíl, para quedar fijada mediante una tuerca posterior.More specifically, the luminaire of the invention it is constituted from a support or base body, with a profile formally and dimensionally suitable to adapt perfectly to the bionda or guardrail, being fixed to it through a stem through a plate provided frontally in the base body and to through the guardrail itself, to be fixed by a rear nut

En ese cuerpo base va montado superiormente un pequeño panel solar fotovoltaico que capta energía proveniente de la radiación de los rayos solares, convirtiéndola en energía eléctrica, de manera que ésta es almacenada bien en una batería o en un supercondensador, para que durante la noche sea consumida por medio de unos elementos de iluminación constituidos preferentemente por uno o mas diodos que van igualmente montados en el cuerpo base, en uno o ambos laterales del mismo, complementándose el conjunto con un panel de control y la correspondiente placa de conexión entre el panel solar y el sistema de almacenamiento de la energía eléctrica obtenida.On that base body a top mounted small photovoltaic solar panel that captures energy from the radiation of the sun's rays, turning it into energy electrical, so that it is stored well in a battery or in a super condenser, so that during the night it is consumed by means of lighting elements preferably constituted by one or more diodes that are also mounted on the base body, on one or both sides of it, complementing the set with a control panel and the corresponding connection plate between the solar panel and the energy storage system electrical obtained.

En base a las características referidas de la luminaria de la invención, cuando la tensión en bornes del panel fotovoltaico cae debido al oscurecimiento ambiente, por ejemplo día nublado o bien la nocturnidad, entonces se cierra el circuito de alimentación del diodo o diodos, produciendo la activación de éstos, debiendo poner de manifiesto que dichos diodos son de alta eficiencia y permiten emitir directamente la luz de señalización, aunque igualmente pueden utilizarse conjuntamente con un panel reflectante convencional para aumentar la visibilidad.Based on the referred characteristics of the luminaire of the invention, when the voltage at the terminals of the panel photovoltaic falls due to ambient dimming, for example day cloudy or at night, then the circuit of diode or diode supply, causing the activation of these, having to show that these diodes are high efficiency and allow direct signaling to be emitted, although they can also be used in conjunction with a panel Conventional reflective to increase visibility.

Como se habrá podido igualmente comprobar, la luminaria es extraordinariamente simple, fácil de instalar y perfectamente adaptable al guardarraíl, quedando integrado en éste, no necesitando mantenimiento y resultando su funcionamiento completamente autónomo, con la finalidad y funcionalidad ya expuestas con anterioridad.As we have also been able to verify, the luminaire is extraordinarily simple, easy to install and perfectly adaptable to the guardrail, being integrated in it, not needing maintenance and resulting in its operation completely autonomous, with the purpose and functionality already exposed above.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, la luminaria de la invención se constituye a partir de un cuerpo base (1) que corresponde a un perfil con una configuración y dimensiones apropiadas para adaptarse al correspondiente guardarraíl (2) en el que ha de aplicarse, como se representa en la figura 4.As you can see in the referred figures, the luminaire of the invention is constituted from a base body (1) corresponding to a profile with a configuration and dimensions appropriate to adapt to the corresponding guardrail (2) in the to be applied, as depicted in figure 4.

En el perfil que constituye el cuerpo base (1) de la luminaria se ha previsto un pequeño panel solar fotovoltaico (3) que, a través de una placa de conexión (4), permite llevar a cabo la alimentación y por tanto activación de uno o mas diodos (5) que quedan igualmente incorporados en el cuerpo base (1), bien en uno de sus laterales o en ambos.In the profile that constitutes the base body (1) a small photovoltaic solar panel is planned for the luminaire (3) which, through a connection plate (4), allows to carry turn off the power and therefore activation of one or more diodes (5) which are also incorporated in the base body (1), either in one of its sides or both.

Además, existe un sistema de almacenamiento de la energía eléctrica obtenida mediante el panel solar (3), y cuyo sistema de almacenamiento puede estar constituido por una batería (6) o un supercondensador, incluyendo asimismo un panel de control (7) para que durante el día se acumule la energía en dicho sistema de almacenamiento (6) y durante la noche se consuma, al igual que ocurre con cualquier sistema automático de iluminación por energía solar.In addition, there is a storage system for the electrical energy obtained through the solar panel (3), and whose storage system may consist of a battery (6) or a supercapacitor, also including a control panel (7) so that during the day the energy accumulates in said system of storage (6) and during the night it is consumed, just like occurs with any automatic energy lighting system solar.

El cuerpo base (1) incluye además una placa o pletina transversal intermedia (8), a través de la cual es pasante un vástago (9) que a su vez pasará a través de la bionda o guardarraíl (2) para, mediante una tuerca (10), realizar la fijación del cuerpo base (1) y por tanto de la luminaria descrita al guardarraíl (2), tal y como se representa claramente en la figura 4.The base body (1) also includes a plate or intermediate transverse plate (8), through which it is through a rod (9) that in turn will pass through the bionda or guardrail (2) to, by means of a nut (10), perform the fixing of the base body (1) and therefore of the luminaire described to the guardrail (2), as clearly shown in the figure Four.

Como se puede ver en las figuras, el cuerpo base (1) o perfil que lo constituye es doblemente ondulado, determinando un valle para su adaptación al correspondiente valle del guardarraíl (2), de manera que en ese valle del cuerpo base (1) se establece un espacio limitado por las paredes laterales, el fondo y por la propia placa (8) de paso del vástago (9) de fijación, para que en ese espacio quede montado el conjunto de componentes referidos, es decir la batería o supercondensador (6) constitutivo del sistema de almacenamiento de energía, el panel de control (7), el diodo o diodos (5), y por supuesto parte del vástago (9) que es pasante a través de ese espacio o zona referida.As you can see in the figures, the base body (1) or profile that constitutes it is doubly wavy, determining a valley for adaptation to the corresponding valley of guardrail (2), so that in that valley of the base body (1) establishes a limited space for the side walls, the bottom and by the passage plate (8) of the fixing rod (9), for that in that space the assembly of components is mounted referred, that is the battery or supercapacitor (6) constitutive of the energy storage system, the control panel (7), the diode or diodes (5), and of course part of the rod (9) which is through that space or referred area.

La luminaria así constituida resulta fácilmente instalable sobre el guardarraíl (2), ya que queda perfectamente adaptada al perfil de éste, pudiéndose decir que queda integrada en el mismo, lo que minimiza el tiempo de instalación y constituye un elemento eficaz en su función, puesto que es autónoma en su funcionamiento, de nulo mantenimiento, pudiéndose utilizar combinadamente con un panel reflectante convencional y con ello mejorar la visibilidad del trazado de la carretera y aumentar de forma considerable la seguridad vial.The luminaire thus constituted is easily installable on the guardrail (2), as it fits perfectly adapted to its profile, being able to say that it is integrated into the same, which minimizes installation time and constitutes a effective element in its function, since it is autonomous in its operation, zero maintenance, can be used combined with a conventional reflective panel and with it improve the visibility of the road layout and increase considerable form of road safety.
