Description

A useful model of fiber-optic decorative and structural products relates to the field of manufacture of devices, parts of which are associated with radiation or with the distribution of light.

Known fiber optic illuminator according to patent RU No. 2244871, IPC F21V 8/00, bull. No. 2 dated January 20, 2005, which contains a casing made of transparent material, a board with LEDs installed on one side of the casing, and the ends of the fiber optical fibers are fixed on the opposite side of the casing, which are connected in the form of a bundle to a light distributor in the form of a cylindrical tube. Moreover, the LEDs are electrically connected to the controller (microprocessor control unit). This product has the following disadvantages:

- optical fibers, made in the form of a bundle, bend with frequent use, which leads to a mechanical violation of their fastening at the exit of the housing and the entrance of the light distributor, as well as to their destruction; a transparent case is subject to external influences of temperature and illumination, which leads to a partial distortion of the light flux passing from the LEDs through the case.

Known fiber optic decorative panel according to patent RU No. 102751, IPC F21V 8/00, bull. No. 7 dated 03/10/2011, including n-tiles, each of which contains a housing with a built-in light emitting diode fiber optic fibers, the LED outputs of all the tiles being electrically connected to the control controller, and the housing of each of the n-tiles consists of a decorative layer, which is the front part of the tile, the protective layer and the reinforcing layer located between the decorative and protective layers and made with through holes. The decorative layer of the tile body is made of artificial cast stone, the protective layer is made of polymer concrete, and the reinforcing layer is made of polystyrene, the thickness of the last two layers being the same size, with the minimum value of the thickness of the reinforcing layer corresponding to the value of the bending radius of the fiber in this layer and the minimum diameter of the hole in the reinforcing layer of the tile body corresponds to the sum of the values of the diameter of the fiber and the double value of its bending radius. This product has the following disadvantages:

- sophisticated manufacturing technology, limited materials used and a small variety of created decorative forms;

- connecting the LEDs located in the tiles to the external controller increases the complexity of installing the tiles due to the fact that a separate wiring harness is laid from each tile to an external controller and complicates the circuitry of such a controller, since with significant lengths of wires connecting the LEDs to the controller, it is necessary to introduce controller of current stabilizing devices for each LED separately.

This product is taken as a prototype.

The technical problem solved by the utility model is to expand the materials used for the manufacture of products, simplify the manufacturing technology with the exception of the reinforcing layer from the product and replace it with reinforcing components, simplify circuit and technical solutions and manufacturing and installation technologies, and expand the scope of use of the products.

The solution to the technical problem lies in the fact that the fiber-optic decorative and structural product includes n-tiles (elements), each of which contains a housing with one or more LEDs and fiber-optic fibers integrated, and the LED outputs of all elements are electrically connected to the controller controls the brightness and time of emission of the LEDs, while the inputs of the optical fibers structurally combined in a matching optical fiber are located opposite the LEDs, and the outputs of the optical fibers in the front rpusa. In each of the n-elements, one or more LEDs of different types can be installed, including RGB-LEDs, which allows you to create the necessary light and color composition.

For a fiber-optic decorative and structural product containing a small number of elements with wire lengths connecting the LEDs to the controller for controlling the brightness and time of emitting LEDs, which do not use current-stabilizing devices for each LED in the controller, it is preferable to manufacture products with a single controller for controlling the brightness and time of emitting LEDs, common to all n-elements of the product. With an increase in the number of elements and / or lengths of wires connecting the LEDs to the controller, it is preferable to place the controller for controlling the brightness and time of emitting LEDs inside each of the n-elements, while the controllers for controlling the brightness and time of emitting LEDs located inside each of the n-elements can be electrically connected to an external controller that sets the operating modes of the built-in controllers.

The case of each of the n-elements can consist only of the main (protective) layer with a decorative surface or a protective and decorative layer, while the decorative layer is located in the front of the case, forming a decorative surface. Reinforcing components are introduced directly into the protective layer. The decorative layer of the body of the elements can be made of artificial cast stone, while the use of polymer concrete is preferable for the manufacture of the protective layer. In the manufacture of product elements without a special decorative layer, the protective layer can be made using polymer concrete or fiberglass, it is also possible to use materials containing a silicate binder and filler, or materials containing a clinker-free binder, including perlite and / or quicklime and / or gypsum. while the main (protective) layer in the front of the housing forms a decorative surface.

Fiber-optic decorative and structural product can be made in the form of three-dimensional geometric figures, while the body of each of the n-elements can have different spatial shapes, smooth or embossed and different types of finishes, for example, brick, stone, laminated stone (slate), wood, boulder, various rocks, etc. with application to the decorative surface of the appropriate color by known methods. It is also possible to apply on the decorative surface of the main (protective) layer or on the decorative layer of two or more adjacent mounted elements of a single image. The image can be reproduced with UV curing ink (for example, on Mimaki plotters) or by engraving with possible subsequent “grouting” with polyester resin, for example, in a color different from the main color of the decorative surface.

The proposed model is illustrated by drawings (Fig.1-Fig.6). Figure 1 shows the main view of the element (tile) with a decorative and protective layer and connecting the LEDs of the element to the controller for controlling the emission of LEDs common to all elements, figure 2 is a section aa in figure 1, figure 3 is the main view of an element (tile) only with a protective layer and an integrated controller for controlling the emission of LEDs, FIG. 4 is a section AA in FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is an example of a product from several elements, with the LEDs of each element being connected to the radiation control controller LEDs common to all elements, Fig.6 is an example of a product from several elements with integrated controllers for controlling the emission of LEDs and connecting to an external controller that defines the operating modes of the integrated controllers.

The present useful model is illustrated by specific examples, which, however, are not the only possible ones, but clearly demonstrate the possibility of achieving the required technical result by the given set of features.

EXAMPLE 1. In accordance with this example, a wall-mounted fiber optic decorative panel can be created. Each element of a fiber-optic decorative and structural product is made separately. Fiber optic fibers 2 are inserted into the holes pre-lubricated, preferably with a wax release agent, into the respective holes, with the other ends fixed in the tooling above the mold. Next, a gelcoat or polyester resin (cast stone) 1 in 2-3 layers is applied to the surface of the mold with drying between application of the layers. The drying time between the layers is selected “before sticking” in accordance with the instructions for the gelcoat and polyester resin used. It is possible to apply different colors of gelcoat to obtain, for example, a "marble" appearance of the front surface. After drying over the entire surface, leaving around the installation sites of the optical fibers 2 free space at a distance of 4-6 mm, a “freely cut” 4-6 mm glass mat impregnated with polyester resin, which acts as reinforcing components 5, is laid and pressed across the entire surface with a tampon or brush . After drying the glass mat to "partial detachment" the second ends of the fiber optic optical fibers 2 are removed from the technological equipment and fixed in matching optical fibers 6 connected to the LEDs 7, with the laying of optical fibers 2 on the surface of the glass fiber. Then, over the entire surface, fiberglass 5 is placed in the mold and sprayed with a spray gun or polyester resin 4 is applied with a brush in 4-5 layers. After drying for at least 8-12 hours, the element is removed from the mold and the ends of the optical fibers 2 are trimmed according to the surface level of the decorative layer 1 of the element. After which the product is assembled from the elements, while the electric wires 3 are combined into a bundle and connected to the controller 8 (Fig. 5). Depending on the program laid down in the control controller 8, the luminous flux and / or color emitted by the LEDs 7 in the corresponding elements changes, which means that a point light effect is created on the front side of each product element.

EXAMPLE 2. In accordance with this example, fiber optic paving slabs can be made. In a rotating vane-free concrete mixer, 43 weight parts (including) of Portland cement of grade 500 do, 69.3 parts by weight are loaded. granite screenings with a particle size of 0 to 5 mm, 29.7 parts by weight sand and mix until smooth, after which 7.8 parts of vol. water with dissolved 0.43 parts by weight of plasticizer C-3 and continue mixing. After the introduction of water into the concrete mixer, it begins to form pellets of approximately spherical shape and their gradual enlargement. When the size of the pellets reaches 3-6 cm, 0.43 parts by weight of brown pigment and 0.21 parts of hour are introduced simultaneously into the concrete mixer. yellow pigment, after 10 s 0.3 v.h. white pigment (titanium dioxide). After another 7 seconds, the concrete mixture, starting with larger spools, is laid out in molds located on the vibrating table, preferably silicone ones (ensuring the fiber is kept in shape during vibration compaction of the concrete mixture), into which fiber-optic optical fibers 2 are preliminarily inserted into the corresponding holes , with fixation of other ends in technological equipment over the form. As a result of vibration, the pellets are deformed (spread) evenly filling the form. As soon as the mold surface is covered with concrete mix 4, its further laying out in the mold is carried out simultaneously with the laying out of polypropylene fiber (based on 0.4 kg of fiber per 1 square meter of surface) acting as reinforcing components 5. When filling the mold with concrete mix 4 to level 6-8 mm below the casting edge of the form, the second ends of the optical fiber 2 are removed from the tooling and fixed in the matching optical fibers 6 connected to the LEDs 7, with the laying of optical fibers 2 on the surface the concrete mixture and put into the form (pressing into the concrete mixture with a little effort) a metal reinforcing mesh 5. Then lay the rest of the concrete mixture until the form is filled. At the end of the molding, the molds with the products are covered with a plastic film and subjected to natural drying on racks until the strength is fully set. After that, the products are removed from the molds and the ends of the optical fibers 2 are trimmed according to the surface level of the decorative surface 1 of the element, which are then assembled into a single composition, while the electric wires 3 are combined into a bundle and connected to the controller 8 (Fig. 5). Finished products have a color that simulates light sandstone

EXAMPLE 3. In accordance with this example, fiber-optic interior facing tiles can be manufactured. The process of their manufacture is similar to the process described in example 2 with the difference that as a material for the main (protective) layer 4, a mixture is used, including a binder with a plasticizing additive and quartz-feldspar sand, a clinker-free binder consisting of perlite, quicklime, gypsum and as a plasticizing additive - Melflux 2651 F hyperplasticizer in the following ratio of components, wt.%: perlite - 24.3; quicklime - 14; gypsum - 1.6; Melflux 2651 F hyperplasticizer - 0.1; sand - 60. At the same time, perlite, quicklime, gypsum and Melflux 2651 F hyperplasticizer are pre-mixed, and then subjected to mechanical activation in a vibrator to a powder state with Bud = 450-500 m2 / kg, then sand is added and mixed thoroughly. After mixing with water (water-to-water ratio - 0.38), it is formed by vibrocasting for 10-20 seconds with textured coloring, both in the mass of the material and in fragmentary surface coloring of the forms.

EXAMPLE 4. In accordance with this example, a fiber optic decorative cladding of the entrance group of the building can be created. The process of its manufacture is similar to the process described in example 1 with the difference that for the manufacture of parts of the elements they are used in the form of volumetric geometric figures, for example, imitating carved stone or stucco molding, and also built-in controllers for controlling the radiation of LEDs 8 mounted at the stage of fixing the optical fibers 2, in matching fibers 6 connected to the LEDs 7. In this case, the large cavities of the elements remaining after laying in the form of a fiberglass 5 applying a polyester resin can be filled with polymer rbetonom (25-30% polyester resin, 70-75% quartz or sand microcalcite) 4. After extracting elements from the mold is possible to apply the decorative elements planar surface 1 common image portion for two or more adjacent elements mounted. The image can be reproduced with UV curing ink (for example, on Mimaki plotters) or by engraving that reproduces inlaid stone, preferably using a CNC machine followed by “grouting” with a gelcoat color different from the main color of the decorative surface. Alternate engraving and grouting of several colors of the image is also possible. Moreover, after applying ("grouting") the image of each color, the decorative surface of the module is polished. Engraving using a CNC machine is also possible on elements in the form of volumetric geometric shapes. When assembling the elements into a single composition, the electric wires 3 are combined into a bundle and connected to an external controller 9, which sets the operating modes of the built-in controllers (Fig.6). When 9 different sensors are connected to an external controller (for example, motion sensors, opening doors, lighting, etc.), it is possible to organize interactive light-dynamic compositions further increasing the effectiveness of the “flickering stone” lining.
