Description

DESCRIPTION

Disinfectant light fixture

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The invention refers to a luminaire that provides disinfection effects for the air and, depending on the version, the work surfaces of the different rooms, rooms, rooms ... of a building.

STATE OF THE ART

The problem that arises with COVID and other viruses and bacteria is the need to have disinfectant devices in a room. To have a correct disinfection, both the air and the surfaces must be disinfected. The big problem is having to install devices for disinfection of surfaces, and also devices for disinfection of air and on the other hand lighting. This requires having a large number of different equipment, each with its own management and power system. All this taking into account that the position of the disinfection elements must be distributed throughout the room to have the necessary effects.

The applicant is not aware of any device that offers a convenient solution to these problems.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a disinfectant luminaire according to the claims.

The solution provided is a single device that includes air and surface disinfection and is also included in a luminaire. The fact of including it in the luminaire is due to the fact that the presence of luminaires in the rooms is mandatory and in this way we have everything in the same equipment saving us costs of different installations, correct operation controls and maintenance of different equipment. You have everything in the same equipment saving costs and solving the problem of installing different equipment in the same room.

The invention proposes a product that, in its most complete version, while disinfecting surfaces also disinfects the air from viruses and bacteria and also provides the necessary lighting.

Thus, the disinfectant luminaire comprises an outer face with a lighting module that has a series of lights. In addition, it includes an air disinfection module, inside the luminaire, with an inlet channel, a suction fan that moves the air through the air disinfection module, a disinfection chamber with UV-C disinfectant lights and a discharge channel. exit. Furthermore, it preferably comprises a surface disinfection module, made up of disinfectant UV-C light sources, arranged on the outside of the luminaire.

This module for surface disinfection can include several accessories: - A timer for its activation, to create a delay or a schedule.

- A presence sensor.

- A security measure, consisting in that the surface disinfection module is configured to deactivate if the lighting module is turned on.

- Operating lights, either activation or failure.

- Operation warning sound system, which is generally activated a moment before the activation of the surface disinfection module.

- A presence sensor that prevents operation when there are people in the area of influence.

These last two systems collaborate, since a stationary person, for example very concentrated, will move when he hears the warning, ensuring that the presence sensor detects him.

The luminaire preferably comprises wireless communications equipment.

It is to be understood that any mention of the singular or the plural covers both the option of a single unit or several. Thus, the lighting module can have one or more fluorescent lamps, the air disinfection module can have one or more fans, etc.

Other variants are discussed in the rest of the report and the figures.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a series of drawings is attached where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, several examples are shown:

Figure 1 - Shows a front view of an embodiment.

Figure 2 - Schematic section of an embodiment.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The luminaire shown in figure 1 comprises three modules:

• A lighting module (1), with a series of lights, generally LEDs, of one or more colors, that illuminate an external face of the luminaire. The lights can be oriented towards the outer face, or be in another orientation and comprise diffusers or reflectors that deflect the light towards the desired face. Any known lighting module (1) is applicable.

• A surface disinfection module (2), made up of disinfectant UV-C light sources, arranged on the outside of the luminaire. These sources can be LEDs, fluorescent tubes ...

• An air disinfection module (3), inside the luminaire, with an inlet channel (4), a fan (5) and an outlet channel (6). The interior of the luminaire comprises a disinfection chamber (7) where UV-C disinfectant lights (8) are arranged, with a wavelength similar to or somewhat different from that used in the surface disinfection module (2).

The luminaire shown also comprises communication equipment (9) that receives wireless signals to activate the different modules. For example, by infrared, bluetooth or WiFi.

The surface disinfection module (2) includes a timer (10) to activate in one of the following situations:

- When activating the disinfection mode, for example by a mobile application (app), and including a delay of several seconds, for example 60 s. - According to the schedule, to activate when there is no one in the room.

The surface disinfection module (2) will be incompatible with the lighting module (1), so that it cannot be activated when that lighting module (1) is activated. Thus, when a person turns on the lights, the disinfection automatically stops. In a second option, the lighting module (1) has lights of a certain color (for example, blue or purple) that turn on when the surface disinfection module (2) is in operation. An audible system can (beeps, buzz ...) can also warn of the operation of the surface disinfection module (2).

The air disinfection module (3) can comprise an inlet and / or outlet filter, for example HEPA, made of activated carbon. Preferably one of each type. The communication equipment (9) will indicate when they must be replaced, or a pilot present on the outside of the luminaire will be used.

The disinfection chamber (7) has a reflective inner coating, for example made of aluminum, and can have an inlet and outlet labyrinth to ensure that radiation does not escape.

The lighting module (1) can have variable power or color temperature, as is known in the art. In that case, the timer (10) can be used to vary the color temperature according to the time of day. With current systems, the configuration of the LEDs allows for the same power flow in warmer colors as in cooler colors.

The luminaire incorporates a presence sensor (11), infrared or movement, as a safety measure. Thus, the surface disinfection module (2) cannot be activated if someone is nearby. The luminaire can send a signal through the communication equipment (9) to other nearby luminaires to stop them all. To do this, it may be necessary to create groups of luminaires identifying the room or area where they are.

The luminaire also includes failure alarms, which are displayed on the outside or sent by the communications equipment (9) to the mobile, to a control center of the building ... In other words, if the presence of people or any type of system failure occurs during the disinfection, it is warned that the disinfection has not been completed.

The luminaire controls the total activation time of each element (filter, UV-C disinfectant lights (8) ...) so that it is possible to notify the end of the estimated useful life to carry out preventive maintenance, filter cleaning. For this, it has a controller of the time of use of its elements, which must be reset with maintenance (manually or automatically).

The entire system is managed by a control unit, such as a communications and control board that also functions as communication equipment (9).

Any type of programming, activation, alerts, grouping of luminaires. it can be managed from a building control center, a mobile application. thanks to the communication team (9).
