Definitions
- the invention relates to a turn signal lamp unit with an electrical store, e.g. a battery for energy supply to the lamp.
- an electrical store e.g. a battery for energy supply to the lamp.
- flashing lamp units are equipped with disposable batteries which have to be replaced periodically, at least within 10 to 20 days. This replacement is associated with high costs, such as labor, replacement batteries and their disposal. There is also the risk that if the flashing lamp goes out due to the batteries not being replaced in time, that is to say due to carelessness of the operating personnel, the construction sites are unsecured and accidents can therefore occur.
- the invention aims to remedy this and proposes that a photo element (solar generator) be provided for a flashing lamp unit of the type mentioned at the beginning for charging the electrical memory, which is preferably designed as a rechargeable battery is, which is an integral part of the Blinklampen ⁇ unit.
- a photo element solar generator
- the photo element after reaching a predetermined, preferably adjustable, lower threshold value of the photo voltage, actuates the switch of the flashing lamp.
- actuates the switch of the flashing lamp This automatically ensures that when the darkness begins, which manifests itself in a drop in the voltage or power supplied by the photoelectric element, the turn-on lamp unit is switched on automatically (via the now higher voltage on the electrical storage elements).
- radio signals in particular coded radio signals
- the radio signals are additionally required to switch on the unit or, alternatively, the unit can only be switched on by radio signals regardless of the voltage supplied by the photo element.
- the remote control allows the activity of the flashing lamp unit to be individually adapted to the prevailing circumstances - (eg higher light output in busy times, in particular by switching on additional units) and thus economical use of the energy in the storage. An emergency switch-on can also be made possible.
- a charge control circuit is integrated in the flashing lamp unit.
- deep discharge protection is only required for certain electrical energy stores. If other electrical energy storage devices are used, deep discharge protection can be dispensed with.
- Another object of the invention is the use of the flashing lamp unit designed according to the invention for securing construction sites, in particular road construction sites.
- the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. Show it,
- FIG. 1 is a front view of the flashing lamp unit according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the electrical or electronic elements integrated in the flashing lamp unit.
- 1 denotes the energy source designed as a photo element (solar generator) for charging an electrical store 6 for operating an electrical
- Incandescent lamp 3 denotes the. is arranged in a transparent, for example yellow, lamp housing 2.
- the lamp housing 2 is firmly connected to the lamp base 5.
- the photoelement 1 is connected via a blocking diode 11 to a charge controller 7 for the electrical store.
- the Glühlam ⁇ pe 3 is preceded by a clock 8, which is preferably adjustable in terms of its clock frequency.
- a clock controller 12 connected to the clock generator 8 and the electrical memory 6 is provided for this purpose.
- At the clock 8 there is also a receiver 9 for radio signals, in the circuit leading to the clock 8 a decoder 10 for the radio signals is switched on.
- the decoder 10 checks the signals coming from the receiver 9 for correct coding and only gives a switch-on pulse to the clock 8 if the coding has been found to be correct. Also integrated in the clock 8 is a switch (not shown) which closes the supply circuit fed by the electrical store 6 as soon as the voltage supplied by the photoelement 1 falls below a threshold value. In such a case, the voltage of the memory 6 exceeds the charging voltage supplied by the photoelement 1.
- the elements 7 to 12 can be arranged on a circuit board 4 which is easily accessible and can be arranged in the base 5 of the flashing lamp unit for replacement purposes.
