Description

 The invention is intended for obtaining light and sound images in the volume of three-dimensional space in spectacular rooms, restaurants, relaxation rooms, stadiums, in an apartment, for the play of light and sounds in the form of flashes imitating the natural effect of the northern lights.

 A device for light distribution is known (UK application N 2258525, class F 21 P 3/00, 1993), which is taken as a prototype and contains electric power equipment, light sources distributed in three-dimensional space and a sound source connected to a microprocessor controlled by a musical characteristic.

 However, this device limits the entertainment due to the finite number of round frames and the finite number of light sources on the frames. Luminous light sources switch only in one direction of the vector in the volume of space, back and forth, along the skeleton rings with light sources fixed to them, and the light is controlled only by a melody through the microprocessor in the color music mode.

 The invention is aimed at increasing the entertainment, dynamism, range of changes and diversity of the play of light and sounds in the volume of a given light and sound three-dimensional space.

 The technical result provided by the invention is achieved in that a device for producing a light and sound invention, comprising a control system, electric power equipment, a plurality of light sources distributed in three-dimensional space and a sound source connected to a control system, according to the invention is provided with a plurality of sound sources distributed in three-dimensional space, associated with a control system, including a control panel, controlling an electronic computer with a program boards, light and sound sources are made point, while many light and sound sources form a single volume emitter, as well as the fact that a single volume emitter is made of many point light sources and, in addition, the fact that a single volume emitter is made of many linear light sources.

 In addition, the technical result is also achieved by the fact that the device has additional unit volume emitters with control systems, and a plurality of unit volume emitters with control systems is connected to an additional control system.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a control block diagram of a single volumetric emitter; in FIG. 2 shows an exemplary distribution of point radiation sources in a single volume radiator; in FIG. 3 - shows the distribution of 512 radiation sources based on a controller with eight bit outputs of the ROM; in FIG. 4 shows the distribution of linear radiation sources in the volume of three-dimensional space; in FIG. 5 shows a controller circuit, on an EPROM with “M” the number of cases on “H” bits; in FIG. 6 shows a block diagram on an EEPROM for 512 point radiation sources; in FIG. 7 shows a discrete control circuit for light and sound; in FIG. 8 shows a control block "θ" by the number of additional unit volume emitters; in FIG. 9 shows an image of the movement of a volume cross from point light sources in space; in FIG. 10 shows an image of the deployment of a volume cross from point sources of light around a vertical axis; in FIG. 11 - FIG. 20 shows an image of the movement of a volume plane from linear light sources from one side of space to the other side; in FIG. 21 and 22 show use cases of the present invention.

 A device for obtaining light and sound images consists of a control panel 1, a control electronic computer 2, power equipment 3, a volumetric emitter of light and sound 4.

 Volumetric emitter of light and sound 4 consists of many point light sources 5 and point sound sources 6 or linear light sources 7 and linear sound sources 8 distributed in the volume of three-dimensional space along the axes "H" X "M" X "P" and forming a unit surround emitter.

 A point light source 4 consists of low-inertia electric lamps without a base (with a small base) with a green filter 9, with a blue filter 10, a red filter 11 and a yellow filter 12, which are adjacent to each other. Each low-inertia electric lamp is connected by a conductor in a controlled valve. The control electrode of the valve is connected to the output of the "n" th discharge of the control computer 2 or the light controller (Figs. 5 and 6). In the embodiment of FIG. 2 and 3, each point source of light 5 and sound 6 is suspended by means of thin conductors that feed power and has its own fixed place in the volume of the space of a single emitter. As point emitters of light, small-sized fluorescent lamps such as TLG, TLK, TLZ, TLO or point electroluminescent elements of a wide spectrum of radiation can be used, according to the principle of mixing three colors. To the suspension of conductors between point light sources are attached sources of melodic sounds, for example, bells or metal phones that emit sound using an electromagnet controlled by a computer or a sound controller through a controlled valve. As a point source of sound, small-sized sound heads with a wide range of radiation connected to a programmed sound synthesizer can be used.

 The distance between the radiation sources should be such that it was possible to see at the same time a larger number of radiation sources from the foreground to the distant plan, and the conductors supplying energy were quite invisible.

 In FIG. 4 shows linear light sources 7 and sound 8 distributed in the area of the emitter 4 along the “M” X “M” axes, and along the “P” axis, the volume determines the length of the linear radiation source. Linear light sources are series-connected low-inertia electric lamps 7 with a filter, for example, green, located nearby and all included simultaneously in a line. As linear light sources, electroluminescent lamps of the type TLG-1-2, TLK, TLZ, TLO, LEDs or electroluminescent light threads distributed in a line are added.

 The color of a linear light source in this case changes by the method of mixing colors in color television tubes when applying the appropriate supply voltage to the tape in various combinations. In the same way, a point light source with a wide spectrum of color radiation is obtained in the form of a ball 17 with pentagonal spectra with luminescent substance and conductors - green 14, blue 15, red 16 radiation colors in a transparent plastic. It is possible to get a point source of light when twisting into a ball of luminescent threads of three or four colors. At a sufficient distance from the source of a wide spectrum of radiation from luminescent filaments, when colors are mixed, it merges into white or any other color according to a given program, and in general, the color of the entire unit volume emitter in different parts of space changes according to a given program.

 To control the play of light and sound in the volume emitter 4, a control electronic computer 2 or a light and sound controller (Fig. 5) are used on the memory chips of the PRZU K173RF5 with a control unit on the counters and a clock "I" and discrete control of the light intensity in Fig. . 7 for low-inertia electric lamps with alternating current with a frequency of 50 Hz. In FIG. 6 shows a block diagram for controlling 512 point light and sound sources in a single volume radiator. To control four colors: blue, yellow, red, green lamps 9, 10, 11, 12 you need four of these blocks. To control the sound in a surround emitter by point sources of sound, for example, metalphones with an electromagnetic shock mechanism and a different sound spectrum, just one unit of the sound controller is needed or connected in parallel to any group of lamps of the same color or different colors to obtain a mixture of random sound combinations in different parts of the sound space.

 To increase the volume of the emitter — controlled sound and light space and the diversity of the play of light and sound — the unit volume emitter 4 is increased by θ times by connecting additional unit volume emitters 4 with control panels 1, controlling EVI 2 or controllers (Fig. 6) with electric power equipment 3 connected to an additional control electronic computer 21 with a control panel 22. An increase in the volume of the emitter can be made as with point light sources with respect to pits vectors volume "H" X "M" X "P" or with linear light sources along the axes vectors "H" X "M", forming the suspension area of the tubular light sources. In this case, it increases by a factor of θ. On the axis "P", which determines the volume of a single volume emitter due to the length of a linear light source, it is left of this length or increased a number of times ("θ" times).

 A device for obtaining light and sound images works as follows.

 From the control panel 1, the program of the game of light and sound or the image of light and sound in the dynamics is recorded in the memory of the computer 2 or hard-wired to a read-only memory (ROM) (Fig. 5) of the light-sound controller. For example, the image of a volume cross for green point sources in the EPROM K173RF5 in FIG. 6 and 9, moving from right to left in the surround emitter "8X8X8" (Fig. 3). Suppose the emitter does not glow in the first clock cycle of the clock. At the second clock, we write units and zeros into the corresponding images of the cross in the lateral plane in the corresponding EPROM cells (or in the microprocessor computer memory). At the third step, in the same cells we again record the image of the cross and advance the image of the cross in the discharge into the depth of the volume emitter. We obtain a three-dimensional volume luminous image of the cross, with all the point emitters of the visible and "invisible" contours of the cross visible. It is possible to extinguish the light sources of the "invisible faces" of the cross or change the color of the visible and "invisible" faces. In the fourth cycle, on the first bits we leave an empty spot, “zero” on the corresponding bits (the first bit of the EPROM), the first plane in which the cross glows, stops glowing, and we advance the image of the green cross in the volume of two bits of memory in the EPROM or two planes of luminous light sources in the form of a cross, respectively, from the fourth to the seventh (Fig. 5). Thus, the cross advances to the end of the volume emitter and disappears from the volume of the emitter. It is possible to return it. To do this, either reverse the control addresses or write to the remaining memory addresses of the EPROM or computer - the return of the cross. You can also rotate the image in any direction with any part of the switching cycles (Fig. 10). Sound images are recorded in the same way in the volume space of the surround emitter.

 A single volume emitter with linear light sources operates as follows.

 Linear light sources are brought to the ceiling space (to the ceiling) at a certain distance from each other so that the eye of the subject of perception sees the largest number of linear light sources but the entire depth of the emitter. In FIG. 11 shows the location of linear light sources in a ceiling space. One linear radiation source consists of three twisted luminescent filaments of three colors, green 14, blue 15, red 16. In the zero cycle, the linear sources do not glow. In the first measure, the first row of threads in the background of the emitter was lit (Fig. 12). In the second step (Fig. 13), a second row of linear light sources (LIS) was lit, closer to the foreground. At the third beat, the third row of LIS was lit, and the first went out, turned off. It turned out some of the two rows of LIS (Fig. 14). In the fourth measure, the fourth row was lit up, and the second turned off - the volume wall of luminous threads moved to the subject of perception on one row of LIS. Thus, as the memory addresses switch in the computer 2 or controller (Fig. 6), a series of LIS in the form of a volume wall moves to the foreground, to the subject of perception (Fig. 16, 17). Then, according to the program recorded in the memory of the computer 2, it reaches the front row (Fig. 18). The double row of luminous threads splits into two halves (Fig. 19), and the double luminous rows, switching along the measures by one row, diverge to the right and left (Fig. 19) from the eyes of the subject of perception. Two luminous walls from two rows of LIS in steps, turning on the wall on the right side of the emitter plane and on the left side, and turning off, respectively, in steps in the foreground of the emitter, diverge into two parts and reach the background and stop here (Fig. . 20).

 In a volume emitter, you can change the light intensity in each radiation source by limiting the energy supply, the wavelength of the radiation source by switching low-inertia lamps with an appropriate filter or by mixing colors using electroluminescent sources - change the number of light and sound sources, switch the radiation sources in different directions by the principle of running lights or sounds, to depict from the radiation sources the simplest objects in volume - such as, for example, volumetric cube , Balls, cylinders, pyramids, spinning plane and to move them from one side of the emitter in space to another, or to turn in place around the axis to change the volume of switching radiation sources within the volume of the radiator.

 In the case of using a volume emitter with linear light sources, it is possible to simulate the natural effect - the "northern lights" in the form of flashes, by switching individual radiation sources, groups of different colors in all directions of the emitter volume according to the principle of running lights with different switching clocks or mixing them. The larger the given space of the volume emitter and the number of point or linear radiation sources, the greater the dynamics of the change in the light range, effects in the volume of space. In the case of the use of point light sources in a volume emitter effect in the form of flashes, it is possible to obtain more colorful effects, since groups of light sources have the ability to switch vertically.

 The control of the play of light in the surround emitter is also possible from a musical melody connected to the input of the control computer with a program that converts changes in musical characteristics into changes in light characteristics in the volume of the emitter.

 The subject of perception can be located inside the volume emitter or outside it.

 Thus, using the proposed device for obtaining light and sound images, sensory sensations are affected and sensory perception is manifested.

 After recording a program of images or a play of light and sounds in a control computer, the device is switched on to the operating mode of images or a play of light and sounds in a continuous program mode, or programmed images or overflows of light and sound are removed from the computer memory using the control panel.

 The effect in the form of flashes from single linear light sources is obtained as follows.

 Flexible electroluminescent light sources are suspended from the ceiling space (Fig. 21) (see RF patent N 2000678, CL H 05 B 33/26, 1991) with a diameter of 2 mm in four colors, blue, green, yellow and red (the shell of the threads is colorless) , at a certain distance from each other (for example, from 0.2-0.5 m), the length of the LIS thread is from 1.0-2.5 m depending on the distance from the floor to the ceiling or from the bar to the ceiling. It is also possible to replace flexible electroluminescent light sources with a series of low-inertia light bulbs or LEDs of the same color of radiation, fixed to a conductor supplying power for the glow and suspended from the ceiling. This series of lamps turns on and off simultaneously in a line. In FIG. 21 shows only the extreme LIS along the perimeter of the ceiling (see positions, 1, 2, 3, ..., 56). The middle of the ceiling space is also filled with LIS (not shown).

 Suppose that energy is supplied to the luminescence in the first cycle to a linear light source in the near left corner (Fig. 21) at number one, and the remaining LIS sources do not glow. In the second measure, the LIS was lit at number two, and the first went out. In the next measure, the LIS number three starts to glow, and the second goes out. Thus, in order, LIS will alternately light up and go out along the perimeter of the ceiling area, according to the program recorded in the control computer 2 or the light controller (Fig. 6), circular from the near corner to the far one against the sun with different switching frequencies, meander or with a delay in the decay time of the glow LIS. A single glow of the LIS goes into the glow of the "pillar of light", consisting of a glow of four adjacent LIS (Fig. 22). In the first measure, the “pillar” was lit at number one, in the second measure the “pillar” at number 2 was lit, and the first “pillar of light” went out. In the third measure, pillar number three lights up, and number 2 goes off. Thus, the luminescence of the “pillars of light” passes along measures from one area of the ceiling space according to the program from N 1 to N 16 in a circle turning into a spiral, or in all directions of the ceiling area, changing the color of LIS, the number of LIS in the “light column”, the number of "pillars of light" or their pressure.

 The use of the invention increases the entertainment, dynamism, the range of changes and diversity of the play of light and sounds in the volume of a given light and sound three-dimensional space.
