Description

Ecological lamppost.

Object of the invention

The present invention is encompassed within the technical sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of street lamps, and more specifically refers to street lamps that use luminaires based on the use of microleds and powered by through either a photovoltaic module or other energy ecological, and even directly from the power grid and that can be used both in open spaces, such as for street furniture luminaires, advertising panels, etc. how in enclosed spaces, such as industrial buildings, as well like the lighting of homes and shop windows.

Background of the invention

Normally the street lamps known in the currently they are based on the use of incandescent light emitters, halogens, fluorescent tubes, etc., these light elements In addition to their relative short duration, they have an energy consumption important. As a solution, in recent times they are appearing in the market low energy bulbs that although they have reduced the electric power consumption, they are still far from efficient reasonable energy.

On the other hand, and in reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that the applicant does not know the existence of any other invention that, with a similar objective, present technical, structural or configuration, similar to those presented by the device here It is proposed.

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to a lamppost ecological comprising a luminaire that has a plurality of light emitters, a luminaire support structure, a power source to feed the light emitters, a wiring of connection between the power source and the light emitters and means of regulation and control. The lamppost is characterized essentially because the light emitters are microleds.

In a first aspect of the invention, the lamppost You can count on a photovoltaic module as energy source, the which is connected through a wiring to a charge controller which in turn is connected through other wiring to a luminaire and at least one battery.

Additionally, a starter will be placed for each of the light emitters.

In this way, it is possible to solve the inconveniences described above in regard to life useful and consumption, when using the street lamps object of the present invention, thanks to the use of microleds.

Specifically, essentially the invention is based on the incorporation of microleds in the street lamps, in replacement of the led, conventional or low light bulbs consumption that are being used in conventional street lamps, getting at least a number of lux (lumen per m2), equal to or greater than the bulbs that are intended to be replaced and a energy savings in kw / h of between 60 and 75%, since a led traditional consumes about 0.71 A / w, while a microled works at 0.30 A / w., Therefore, batteries may be provided with solar or ecological street lamps of much more autonomy, compared to the They use energy saving light bulbs, reducing spending electric, and increasing the service delivery hours of batteries, and preventing them from shutting down as happens to many lampposts that use energy saving light bulbs.

Additionally, through the object lamps of the present invention projects may be profitable to short and long term, also achieving savings when it comes to make trenches, tubing and underground wiring, which are not necessary and cost savings within the guidelines of a construction project or public work relieving considerably the final economic result of it.

Finally, service may be provided to public lighting in case of catastrophe, or lack of power electric by companies, since solar street lamps or ecological enjoy their own autonomy providing the service of suitable in these characteristics, allowing to get rid of a electrical contract that involves in municipalities and companies a cost very important within the global economy of the company, moving to Be a minimum and long-term maintenance cost.

This technology is also applicable to the network normal electric, which contains millions of street lamps connected today. This way you could use the staves already located in cities and towns, replacing only the luminaries, achieving energy savings, which applied to the Spanish electricity grid would mean economic savings of millions of euros and a reduction in electricity consumption very important for the sustainable development of the planet.

Description of the drawings

For a better interpretation of the invention, accompanies the present specification of some drawings in which a form of non-limiting example is illustrated preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, according to the principles of the claims.

In these drawings:

Figure 1 represents a schematic view in section, of an ecological street lamp object of the present invention.

In figure 2 it represents a schematic view of the connections of the lamppost components in the case of have the same with a photovoltaic module.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

As can be seen in figure 1, and of according to the numbering adopted therein, a lamp that has a photovoltaic module (1), in which found is supported by a frame (2) in which it is integrated the junction box and from which a support (3) that is responsible for holding the module (1) and also a luminaire (4) which has a plurality of microleds (12) inside. Of the support (3) part the post (14) that will be connected to a staff (7), being the hollow post and through which two hoses (5) and (6) wiring. The wiring hose (5), connects to the luminaire (4) or rather the microleds (12) with a regulator charge (9), this charge controller (9) in turn connects with the photovoltaic module (1) through wiring hose (6) and with two gel batteries (8). Additionally, elements of anchor (10) at the base of the staff (7) for fixing the lamppost on the floor.

In figure 2 it can be seen in more detail the electrical connection scheme of the different components of the lamppost in the case of using a module as an energy source photovoltaic

Two cables start from each of the microleds (positive and negative), which reach a starter (13) of the which. Depending on the type of power supply you want do different connection modes will be used.

In the event that the power grid is used as a power supply, that is if the power is at 220 V, split three wires (Phase, Earth and Neutral) see figure 3.

If on the contrary, the feeding is done by means of the photovoltaic module (1), two cables (positive and negative) that are connected to the charge controller (9) (see figure 2).

System operation powered by the electrical network is the usual one for this type of installations and It will not be explained in detail.

However, the operation of the system that it has power by photovoltaic module works of the following way: the photovoltaic module (1) transmits the energy received to the charge controller (9), which checking at Batteries (8) allow charging of them on a regular basis. He charge regulator (9) in addition to controlling the load, also control the discharge, always checking the circuit to prevent the batteries (8) decrease their useful life. When the conditions be optimal, the charge controller (9), let the battery start to discharge allowing the starter (13) to put in operation to the microleds (12).

Describe sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, not it is considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any subject matter expert understands its scope and advantages that are derived from it, stating that, within its essentiality, may be implemented in other forms of embodiment that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and which will also achieve the protection that collects as long as it does not alter, change or modify its principle fundamental.
