Abstract

Device for illuminating the dashboard of a vehicle, the invention relates to a device for illuminating a dashboard of a vehicle, in particular a rail-mounted vehicle. The invention provides for the dashboard to be delimited at the top by a strip of luminaires, whose luminaires are aligned towards the dashboard.

Description

Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung des Fahrerpultes eines FahrzeugesDevice for lighting the driver's desk of a vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung des Fahrerpultes eines Fahrzeuges, insbesondere eines Schienen¬ fahrzeuges .The invention relates to a device for illuminating the driver's desk of a vehicle, in particular a rail ¬ vehicle.
Das Fahrerpult eines Fahrzeuges befindet sich zwischen dem Fahrersitz und der Frontscheibe und weist Anzeige- und Be¬ dienelemente auf. Bei Dunkelheit ist es erforderlich, dass das Fahrerpult beleuchtet ist. Bisher übliche Lampen führten dazu, dass der Schatten des Fahrers auf das Fahrerpult fiel und dass außerdem Lichtreflexionen in der Frontscheibe den Fahrer störten. Es ist bereits versucht worden, diese Nach¬ teile zu beheben, indem das Fahrerpult mit speziellen Lampen beleuchtet wurde, die stark gebündeltes Licht ausstrahlen, so dass wenig Licht zur Frontscheibe gelangt und dort reflek¬ tiert wird. Die Einfallsrichtung des Lichtes wurde bereits so gewählt, dass der Schatten des Fahrers möglichst nicht auf das Fahrerpult fällt. Eine derartige Beleuchtungsvorrichtung ist energetisch ungünstig wegen der erforderlichen hohen Lichtstärke. Das führt auch dazu, dass derartige Lampen ver¬ schleißanfällig sind.The driver's desk of a vehicle is located between the driver's seat and the windshield and has display and Be ¬ dienelemente on. In the dark, it is necessary that the driver's desk is illuminated. Previously standard lamps meant that the driver's shadow fell on the driver's desk and that in addition reflections of light in the windscreen disturbed the driver. It has already tried this after ¬ parts to fix by the driver's desk was illuminated with special lights that emit highly directional light, so that gets little light to the windscreen and reflectors advantage there ¬. The direction of incidence of the light has already been chosen so that the shadow of the driver does not fall on the driver's desk if possible. Such a lighting device is energetically unfavorable because of the required high light intensity. This also means that such lamps are ver ¬ schleißanfällig leads.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung eines Fahrerpultes eines Fahrzeuges anzu¬ geben, die energetisch günstig eine gute Ausleuchtung des Fahrerpultes ermöglicht und trotzdem Schattenbildung auf dem Fahrerpult und Lichtreflexionen an der Frontscheibe vermei¬ det.The invention has for its object to provide a device for lighting a driver's desk of a vehicle to ¬ the energetically favorable allows good illumination of the driver's desk and still avoid shadows on the driver's desk and light reflections on the windscreen ¬ det.
Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass das Fahrerpult nach oben durch ein Leuchtenband begrenzt ist, dessen Leuchten zum Fahrerpult hin ausgerichtet sind.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the driver's desk is limited upwards by a light strip whose lights are aligned to the driver's desk.
Dadurch, dass das Leuchtenband sich in der Nähe des Fahrer¬ pultes befindet, kann kein Schatten auf das Fahrerpult fal- len. Es kommt vorteilhaft auch nicht zur Lichtreflexion in der Frontscheibe, da die Leuchten des Leuchtenbandes zum Fah¬ rerpult hin ausgerichtet sind. Schließlich wird eine gleich¬ mäßige Ausleuchtung des Fahrerpultes erreicht. Alle diese Vorteile führen dazu, dass der Fahrer bei Dunkelheit alle An¬ zeige- und Bedienelemente des Fahrerpultes gut sehen kann und auch nicht durch Streulicht gestört wird.Because the lighting strip is spooled is in the vicinity of the driver ¬, no shadow on the driver's console can wrong len. It is also beneficial not to reflect light in the windscreen, since the lights of the light strip are aligned to Fah ¬ rerpult out. Finally, a uniform ¬ illumination of the driver's desk is achieved. All these advantages mean that the driver in the dark can see all on ¬ display and controls the driver's desk well and is not disturbed by stray light.
Das Leuchtenband ist beispielsweise durch LEDs gebildet, die auf einer bandförmigen Struktur angeordnet sind. LEDs sind energetisch besonders günstig zu betreiben und geben trotzdem ein ausreichend helles Licht ab. Es wird also der Vorteil er¬ zielt, dass für die Beleuchtung des Fahrerpultes weniger Energie als bisher benötigt wird.The lighting strip is formed for example by LEDs, which are arranged on a band-shaped structure. LEDs are energetically particularly favorable to operate and still give off a sufficiently bright light. It is therefore the advantage he ¬ aims that for the lighting of the driver's desk less energy than previously needed.
Beispielsweise ist das Leuchtenband an der Unterseite einer Sonnenblende angeordnet, die vom oberen Rand des Fahrerpultes ausgehend von der Frontscheibe des Fahrzeuges weg ausgerich¬ tet vorsteht. Eine solche Sonnenblende dient dazu, bei Tages- licht Lichtreflexionen auf den Anzeige- und Bedienelementen des Fahrerpultes zu vermeiden. Durch die Sonnenblende bleiben die Anzeige- und Bedienelemente auch bei hellem Tageslicht im Schatten und sind dadurch besser zu erkennen. Diese Sonnenblende bietet vorteilhaft auf ihrer Unterseite einen geeigne- ten Platz für das Leuchtenband, das zur gleichmäßigen Beleuchtung der Anzeige- und Bedienelemente bei Nacht dient. Es ist vorteilhaft keine besondere Halterung für das Leuchten¬ band erforderlich.For example, the lighting strip is arranged on the underside of a sun visor, which protrudes ¬ rich starting from the upper edge of the driver's console starting from the windshield of the vehicle. Such a sun visor is used to avoid light reflections on the display and control elements of the driver's desk in daylight. Thanks to the sun visor, the display and operating elements remain shaded even in bright daylight and are thus easier to recognize. This sun visor advantageously offers on its underside a suitable space for the light strip, which is used for even illumination of the display and control elements at night. It is advantageous no special support for the luminaire ¬ band required.
Mit der Einrichtung zur Beleuchtung eines Fahrerpultes nach der Erfindung wird vorteilhaft eine gute Ausleuchtung ohne störende Effekte gewährleistet. With the device for lighting a driver's desk according to the invention, a good illumination is advantageously ensured without disturbing effects.
