Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for guiding light for an elongated light source, in particular fluorescent tubes, with a body arranged essentially axially parallel to the light source and having at least two superimposed layers of transparent or translucent material with different optical refractive indices.
- elongated light sources such as fluorescent tubes
- light guidance is often desired in practice in order to maintain a predetermined radiation angle, outside of which the light emitted by the light source is largely deflected.
- Refracting or reflecting devices can be used for this; a known type of reflective devices are grid lights consisting of a longitudinal reflector and transverse slats. Combinations of refracting and reflecting devices are also possible.
- the present invention is particularly concerned with egg ⁇ ner Lichtbowungsvorraum from refraktierenden type whichvolue or m combination with reflective elements incorporated ⁇ sets can be.
- the object of the invention is to create a light guide device which enables light to be constructed in a simplified manner, in particular a cost-effective alternative to grid lights.
- the erfmdungsgetowne ago ⁇ direction achieves Wmkelseledging of light rays at ei ⁇ ne new way that later in more detail besch ⁇ e- is Ben.
- the body of the device causes a radiation of rays close to the axial direction.
- the light emission of a sheathed of such a device (at least partially) fluorescent tube is an m Wmkelkegel the Axia ⁇ le dimmed, the beam angle that is normal to the fluorescent tube axis (for example, downwards) is restricted.
- the light-guiding device according to the invention takes over the longitudinal light deflection.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the body is tubular or tubular sector-shaped and the light source is received essentially axially parallel, preferably coaxially, by the body. This shape is particularly suitable for cylindrical light sources.
- the body preferably has at least five, preferably at least ten layers. Starting from about 5, particularly strongly from about 10 layers, there is a sudden improvement in the dimming effect mentioned, as will be explained later.
- Gunst ⁇ g it is, if, with the exception of the two to the exterior surfaces of the body layers at least one layer of air, gas or vacuum is formed and contains distance ⁇ holders for the mutual positioning of the two adjacent layers. With the simplest of means, this variant achieves an excellent light deflection to the undesired radiation areas.
- the spacer above may be inserted between the adjacent layers ⁇ , or a preferred embodiment of the invention may be integrally formed with the adjacent layers in accordance with, for example, as gutter or nub structure, webs, ribs, etc. to the neighboring layers.
- the refractive index preferably changes from layer to layer.
- the refractive index can increase from layer to layer.
- Yet another From OF INVENTION ⁇ buchungsform dung is that the refractive index increases within a layer direction normal to the layer extension kontinuier ⁇ Lich.
- the body is formed from a regular repetition of a combination of layers, preferably two layers, with which a sharper boundary between the dimmed and the radiating heating areas is achieved.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the body is formed from a regular repetition of 4 to 30 of the combinations mentioned is, wherein the first layer of the combination is made of a transparent material with a refractive index of 1.35 to 1.65 and the second layer of the combination is a gas or air-filled space.
- a transparent film can simply be wound up into a roll while maintaining an air gap.
- "windings" of the combination film provided ER is a good compromise between anti-glare effect is a ⁇ hand and light transmission by the m radiant Wmkel- areas on the other.
- the body is formed from a regular repetition of at least 30 of the combinations mentioned, the refractive indices of the two layers of the Combination of less than 1.15 hen a ratio to 1 st ⁇ .
- the thickness of the body is smaller than the radius of the light source to be accommodated, and preferably the inner radius of the body is 1.0 to 4.0 times the radius of the light source to be accommodated, which results in a compact design results.
- a particularly compact design results when the body rests on the light source.
- the inside of the body facing the light source consists of a layer or combination of layers of transparent scattering material. As a result, the light rays from the light source are scattered, which results in improved dimming, particularly in the case of thin light sources (in comparison to the inner radius of the body), such as an elongated incandescent filament.
- the inside of the body facing the light source consists of a layer or layer combination which is provided with a light-scattering surface structure, such as a rough structure, preferably a channel or knob structure, etc.
- Another aspect of the invention consists in the creation of a lamp with an elongated light source, in particular fluorescent tubes, which is overlapped by a roof-like reflector and is equipped with a light guide device according to the invention with a tubular body which encloses the light source. If a light guiding device with a tubular sector body is used, this surrounds te vorzugt the light source on its side remote from the reflector Be ⁇ . As a result, at most light rays reflected by the body itself are reflected again by the reflector, so that the overall light efficiency of the device is increased.
- the body can also surround the light source on its side facing the reflector.
- FIG. 1 shows a luminaire according to the invention in a section normal to the longitudinal axis
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the light source and the light guiding device of the luminaire of FIG. 1 in a section parallel to the longitudinal axis, FIG. 3 dimensioning behavior on an axially parallel section through a section of the light guiding device of FIGS. 1 and 2,
- FIGS. 4 and 6 show schematic radiation conditions from one point of the light source without (FIG. 5) or with (FIG. 6) light guiding device
- FIGS. 7 and 8 shows exemplary luminaires with essentially tubular sector light guiding devices
- FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of a luminaire with reflector and opposing light guiding body (refractor).
- the luminaire shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 contains an elongated light source 1 m in the form of a fluorescent tube with a longitudinal axis 2, which is arranged in the interior of a light guide device in the form of a translucent, essentially tubular body 3 approximately axially parallel, not necessarily coaxially is.
- a trough-type, inverted-U-type or partially parabolic reflector 4 of conventional design is arranged over the roof-like light source 1 and encompassing the body 3.
- the length of the lamp m drawn in section m in the direction of the axis 2 can be chosen as desired.
- egg ⁇ ner fluorescent tube is Ede known form of "Langge ⁇ extended light source” is possible, for example, halogen character, chains of individual light sources such as incandescent lamps, etc.
- the axis 2 of the light source 1 may not necessarily be straight, but can also be slightly curved or polygonzugformig, m wel ⁇ chen traps the body 3 is adjusted according to the shape of the light source.
- the body 3 is composed of a plurality of tubular or rohrsektor- formigen uberemander founded layers of transparent material ⁇ lien or interstices, as shown in Fig. 3 shown by way of Example with reference to five layers 5.
- the optical refractive indices of the layers 5 are denoted by n1 to n5 in FIG. 3.
- Each layer 5 can consist of a transparent or at least translucent material (for example polyacrylic with a refractive index 1.5) or an intermediate space (refractive index 1.0).
- the refractive indices of respectively adjacent layers 5 are different from one another, so that there is an optical interface between two layers 5.
- the two outer surfaces of the outermost layers 5 also form an optical interface with the surroundings.
- optical properties of a boundary surface are determined from the ratio of the refractive indices of the other boundary layers.
- the layer thickness D can be chosen differently as desired and for each layer 5, m practice as thin as possible, but in any case significantly greater than the magnitude of the light wavelength, so that there is no appreciable phenomena Renz Interfe ⁇ . This is - even with infrared light - the case from about 3 ⁇ m. Under this limitation, the corrosion can be chosen arbitrarily small perdicke S, m practice, just so small that a sufficient strength is from 5 th Schich ⁇ existing body 3 of given.
- a minimum layer thickness of greater than 3 microns (weitge ⁇ basis) is achieved by the adjacent the gap layers 5, which are made of transparent materials, are patterned in relief projecting on their surfaces, so that these just touch each other at a few points. These protruding parts form "spacers" of the interspace layer 5.
- the inner radius RR of the body 3 can be chosen arbitrarily, e.g. the same size as the radius RL of the light source 1, so that the body 3 rests on the outside of the light source 1. In the example shown, however, RR is approximately twice as large as the radius RL of the light source.
- the operation of the device is as follows.
- Light rays L emanating from the light source 1 strike the body 3 at an elevation angle x and are let through in a weakened manner.
- FIG. 2 light rays L emitted by the light source 1 are weakened the smaller the elevation angle ⁇ with which they impinge on the body 3, as is shown by way of example for 3 light rays L.
- the weakening is even stronger when several border areas are passed in succession; this is especially true for light rays with small elevation angles ⁇ .
- all light beams L with elevation angles cc are dimmed less than a limit angle ⁇ g.
- the curve "several boundary surfaces" stands for a body 3 with seven layers 5; the sharp demarcation of the Abblen ⁇ wm- kels can be seen from the steepness of the curve. This steep increase results from a number of layers of about five layers 5 and is particularly pronounced from about ten Schich ⁇ th 5.
- Figs. 5 and 6 show a perspective view of the combination of all of a point-like light source out ⁇ emitted light beams L without ( Figure . 5 shows) and with (Fig. 6) Zvi ⁇ rule circuit of the best of several optical boundary surfaces ⁇ Henden body 3.
- the Abblendungskegel 5 generates a limitation of the ex ⁇ beam angle of FIGS. 1 to 3 shown lamp normal m to the plane of Fig. 1, as it could otherwise only be achieved by axialnormale transverse lamellae within the reflector 4, downward.
- the light source need not enclose all sides 1, example, it is sufficient ⁇ , a rohrsektorformiger body, wherein the light source 1, for example, at their the reflector 4 side remote teilrmgfor ig surrounds, for example, to 1/4, half or 3.4.
- both the reflector and the body can have coinciding open locations, axially parallel slots or open sectors, etc., which enable an unhindered passage of certain light rays from the light source.
- This Va ⁇ - ante is useful, for example, for suspended ceilings, in which the body and the reflector having at the top an elongate slot, by which the ceiling is illuminated by di below ⁇ rectly to thereby form a partially indirect Be ⁇ illumination to create the space, as shown in Fig. 7. It can be advantageous in this case if the light source 1 is not arranged coaxially to the body 3, as a result of which a portion of the portions of the light rays reflected by the body 3 are not directed back to the light source, but instead are guided past it.
- Another sensible variant results, as shown in FIG. 8, with a light source 1, which is shaded laterally downwards, connection with a tube sector-shaped one
- FIG. 9 another form of leadership from a lamp is shown in the axial normal section.
- the body 3 and the reflector 4 are here each in the shape of a circular arc and face one another with their concave sides, the light source 1 being located between them.
- the light source 1 being located between them.
- the reflector 4 At most portions of the light rays reflected back by the body 3 are directed downwards again by the reflector 4.
- the proportion of light rays emitted downwards increases, as shown in FIG. 9 with the aid of two schematically drawn light rays
- the body 3 can be wound, for example, from a transparent film with an air gap.
- the body can also go through be produced by gluing a film, the adhesive representing a transparent material layer.
- transparent materials are applied layer by layer on a transparent base form.
- the light source 1 can also have a cross-section other than circular.
- tubular orange body 3 is not only understood to mean a cylindrical tubular body, but also a generally tubular body, e.g. with elliptical profile, rounded-angular profile, etc.
- the body 3 can rest against the light source 1 differently than shown.
- the body 3 can be made in one piece with the outer wall of the light source 1, for example as a shell of a fluorescent tube.
- the control of the refractive index of the layers can be done in any known way, e.g. through appropriate choice of materials, through appropriate doping of glasses, plastics, etc.
