Description

DESCRIPTION

ROOM LIGHTING AND DISINFECTION DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a device for lighting and disinfecting rooms, such as bathrooms, elevators, offices and others.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of UV-C light as a germicide is known. Currently they are installed in hospital operating rooms, or in China on the beds in the ICU of those infected by COVID.

However, simultaneous use with human occupation is not possible, since exposure to this light is also harmful to people. For this reason they cannot be used safely as a means of disinfection, which is solved with the device of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device for lighting and disinfecting rooms of the invention comprises in its most basic embodiment:

-at least, a first visible light spectrum luminaire, distributed throughout the room to be illuminated and disinfected,

-At least a second UV-C light fixture, distributed throughout the room to be illuminated and disinfected,

-at least one proximity sensor distributed throughout the room to be illuminated and disinfected, and -one ignition controller, associated with the luminaires and proximity sensors.

With this configuration, it is possible to manage the operation so that when the controller receives the presence signals from the motion sensors installed in the different points of the area to be controlled in the bathrooms, elevators and offices and others, it activates the first lighting fixtures and deactivates the second UV-C fixtures, making lighting available to users, and when the motion sensors stop detecting people, preferably after a time delay, the first lighting fixtures will be turned off and the second UV-C lights will be automatically activated, disinfection of pathogens reached by it without affecting people, which was the advantage sought, with the additional advantage that it is not necessary to duplicate or oversize the electrical installation (sections of the conductors, electrical protections) since it will not be possible to switch on the two types of luminaires simultaneously.

Multiple motion sensors are preferred as in the event of a motion sensor failure, other sensor (s) detect and send the signal to the controller. In order to ensure a good operation of the system, it is also preferred that the components are duplicated (double relays, double controller) to avoid technical failures and accidental radiation of people with UV-C light (it damages the eyes and the skin) .

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows a partial view of a plan of a building where the device of the invention is arranged.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The device (1) for lighting and disinfection of rooms (2) of the invention comprises: -at least, a first luminaire (3) with a visible light spectrum, distributed throughout the room (2) to be illuminated and disinfected,

-At least, a second UV-C light fixture (4), distributed throughout the room (2) to be illuminated and disinfected,

-at least one proximity sensor (5) distributed throughout the room (2) to be illuminated and disinfected, and -one ignition controller (6), associated with the lights (3, 4) and the proximity sensors (5) .

It is preferred that the controller (6) comprises a timer (60). Thus, the switching on of the second luminaires can be delayed for a configurable time, for example 30 seconds, since the motion detectors stop perceiving movements, as an additional security that there will be no human presence at the time of their ignition. In the event that movement is detected once this countdown has started, it will restart from the total time configured, once movements are no longer perceived by the proximity sensors.

In addition, to increase security, it is preferred to have at least two motion sensors associated with the controller (6), for redundant detection, in case one of them fails, the other will continue to detect presence and prevent entry. in operation of the second luminaires (4) (and off of the first luminaires (3)).

Lastly, it should be noted that the device (1) can comprise lamps in which at least a first luminaire (3) and a second luminaire (4) are integrated. Thus, these two types of lights -white and UV-C- can exist on the same support (the electronic circuit would be the same), especially in new installations and in confined spaces, such as elevators or toilet stalls.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
