信号灯一般采用彩色光以示区别并起到警觉的作用。 例如传统的 LED信号 灯可以利用封装在透明灯罩内的红光芯片, 蓝光芯片, 黄光芯片来产生对应的红 光, 蓝光, 黄光。 但是因为现有的研究方向主要集中在白光 LED上, 而少见于 单独研究这些红光芯片, 蓝光芯片, 黄光芯片。 也就是说, 白光 LED的有效光 通量现在可以达到一个较高的数值并且在不断地提高中, 但是这些彩色 LED芯 片的有效光通量仍然维持在较低的数值, 从而通过安装彩色 LED芯片来提供彩 色光的效率是相对比较低的。
另外, 现有研究还主要集中于提高 LED芯片光源的光通量, 而少见对 LED 灯具的整体物理结构的改进以减少光损, 也就是说, 现有的研究很少通过优化 LED灯具的结构来减少光照盲区, 并且达到聚光作用, 从而提高 LED灯的发光 效率。 发明内容 本发明的主要目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 其以白光 LED发光体为光 源, 在所述白光 LED发光体光源的光线路径上设置有滤光器, 所述滤光器将所 述白光 LED发光体的至少部分光线过滤成非白色光,从而利用白光 LED发光体 形成非白色光信号灯。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 其包括多列首尾顺次排列 的所述白光 LED发光体和对应的多列的所述滤光器, 从而使所述多列白光 LED 发光体提供均匀的环射光。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 所述滤光器位于所述白光 LED发光体前面并且对于白光 LED发光体具有聚光作用的位置附近, 从而能产 生聚光的作用, 同时所述滤光器还是滤镜, 以起到将所述白光 LED发光体发出 的白色光过滤成彩色信号光的作用。 也就是说, 本发明的 LED信号灯的滤光器 能起到两个作用, 聚光和颜色过滤。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 对于每一个所述白光 LED 发光体, 其提供有一滤光器和一反光面, 以将 LED发光体发出的光进行汇聚, 从而相对于使用彩色 LED发光体, 光照强度得到增强。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 相比于现有技术中, 信号 灯使用彩色 LED芯片作光源, 为了使光通量达标, 减少衰减而采用透明外罩, 本发明的 LED信号灯可以直接使用所需颜色的外罩, 即可使用彩色外罩, 从而 从所述白光 LED发光体发出的光穿透彩色光分配器后形成纯度相对较高的彩色 光, 并且彩色光外罩本身就可以起到装饰或警示的作用。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 相比于现有技术中使用彩 色光 LED发光体为光源, 例如黄光 LED, 30分钟之内便衰减大约 50%, 本发明 的 LED信号灯以白光 LED发光体为光源, 而白光 LED在正常使用条件下其发 光基本没有衰减, 从而使得本发明的 LED信号灯能得到相对较高的光强。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 其 LED光源采用将白光
LED发光体用有色透明封装体封装, 从而其白光 LED发光体发出来的光经过滤 后形成彩色光, 将所述经特殊处理的白光 LED发光体作为光源从而形成本发明 所需要的所述 LED信号灯。
本发明的另一目的在于, 提供一种 LED信号灯, 其用所述白光 LED发光体 代替彩色光 LED发光体如红光 LED发光体, 蓝光 LED发光体, 黄光 LED发光 体等, 结构简单, 制作容易, 成本低廉。

如图 1至图 5所示为根据本发明的一个优选实施例的 LED信号灯。 在本实 施例中, 所述 LED信号灯可以为警灯, 其包括多个光源, 和设置在所述多个光 源路径上的对应的多个滤光器 20。
根据本发明, 所述多个光源为多个白光 LED发光体 10。所述多个白光 LED 发光体 10可以从市场上购得,例如可以是市售的单芯片或多芯片型白光 LED发 光体。所述多个滤光器 20分别位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10的光线路径上, 例如, 所述多个滤光器 20分别位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10的一侧, 将每 个所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的至少部分白色光过滤成非白色光,从而得到非 白色光的信号灯, 在本实施例中, 也即是得到非白色光警灯。 具体地, 所述多个 滤光器 20可以分别将所述多个白光 LED发光体 10发出的至少部分白色光过滤 成红光, 蓝光, 绿光, 黄光, 紫光等单色光, 从而分别得到红光, 蓝光, 绿光, 黄光, 紫光的信号灯, 在本实施例中, 所述多个滤光器 20可以分别将所述多个 白光 LED发光体 10发出的至少部分白色光过滤成红光或黄光,从而可以提供红 光或黄光警灯。
本发明的根本意义在于彩色信号灯通过过滤所述多个白光 LED发光体 10发 出的光得到彩色信号光, 而优质的白光 LED的光源在现有市场上是很容易获得 的, 并且相对于直接用彩色 LED发光体作光源, 本发明的 LED信号灯更容易获 得较高的光强并且价格更便宜。 例如一个较高的光通量例如每瓦 150流明 (lm) 的白光 LED光源已经是很容易在市场上购得,在经所述滤光器 20过滤成彩色光 后, 所得到的彩色光的光强仍然高于单独采用彩色光 LED芯片所得到的彩色光 的所达到的技术指标植的光强。例如本实施例中的黄色警灯, 在经过所述滤光器 20过滤成黄色光后, 还剩下大约 60%, 则仍然具有每瓦大约 90流明 (lm) 的黄 光,其仍然比市场上出售的以黄光 LED发光体作光源得到的黄光的光通量(50〜 60流明) 要高。
本发明中的 "过滤"指的是, 所述多个白光 LED发光体 10发出的光分别经 过对应的所述多个滤光器 20后, 只得到非白色光的预定颜色的单色光, 所述的 预定颜色可以是上述的红色, 蓝色, 绿色, 黄色等。
因为市场上的白光 LED发光体 10已经可以达到具有较高的光通量,并且市 场上对白光 LED发光体 10 的研究还在不断进行中, 所以说, 作为光源的白光 LED发光体 10的光通量可以继续提高, 而对彩色 LED发光体 10研究还较少, 其光通量还处于较低的数值。 从而, 以白光 LED发光体作为光源, 得到彩色光 的信号灯, 高光通量的白光 LED发光体可以直接从市场上购买得到, 从而其制 作过程相对简单。
值得一提的是, 本发明的 LED信号灯包括至少两列所述白光 LED发光体 10, 例如作为实例, LED 信号灯包括三列, 四列, 六列, 八列, 或十二列等的 所述白光 LED发光体 10, 每一列包括一个或多个白光 LED发光体 10。 从而所 述多列白光 LED发光体 10顺次地排列以使所述多列白光 LED发光体 10所在的 直线相交以形成正三角形、 正四边形、 正六边形、 正八边形、 正十二边形或其他 正多边形。 当然, 所述多列白光 LED发光体 10可以不排列成正多边形, 以满足 非环射的扇形区域内发光特性信号灯的需要。每一列也根据需要可以设置与其他 列不同数目的所述白光 LED发光体 10, 本发明在此方面不受限制, 实际应用时 可以根据具体需要进行设置。
可以预料到的是, 提供的所述白光 LED发光体 10的列越多, 数目越多, 这 些白光 LED发光体 10所产生的光越呈环射状,投射出去的光的明亮区域和较暗 区域可以最大限度地叠加在一起, 从而可以提供 360° 角度的均匀光照。 本发明 的信号灯可以是环射 LED信号灯, 这里的 "环射"指的是这些白光 LED发光体 10被排列成提供沿圆周投射的光, 当然优选地, 这些白光 LED发光体 10被排 列成提供沿圆周方向的 360° 角度范围内的投射光。 可选择地, 根据一些具体的 需要, 这些多列的所述白光 LED发光体 10 中的其中某一列或某些列所述白光 LED发光体 10被去除, 从而可以根据需要在某一个方向或几个方向上不提供光 照。 也就是说, 本发明的 LED信号灯也可以根据需要提供扇形或半圆形范围的 光照, 例如 180° 或 270° 角度范围的光照。
值得一提的是, 这些列所述白光 LED发光体 10的对应的所述滤光器 20可 以将所述白光 LED发光体 10的光过滤成不同的颜色。例如在六列所述白光 LED 发光体 10中的三列所述白光 LED发光体 10对应设置有红光滤光器 20, 而其余 三列所述白光 LED发光体 10对应设置有蓝光滤光器 20, 所述 LED信号灯进一 步包括有一个控制器 11, 其可以通过控制电路的开合, 而使六列所述白光 LED 发光体 10可选择性地打开, 从而分别提供红光或蓝光, 或者可以交替的红光和 蓝光。 此时, LED信号灯的外罩可以是透明的。
在本实施例中, 作为一个警灯的实例, 这个警灯包括六列所述白光 LED发 光体 10, 每列所述白光 LED发光体 10包括三个所述白光 LED发光体 10, 每个 所述白光 LED发光体 10的光线路径上设置有一个所述滤光器 20, 以将这些白 光 LED发光体 10发出的白色光中的至少部分白色光过滤成黄色光,从而提供一 个黄色警灯。
可以想到的是, 在上述黄色警灯的实例中, 所述控制器 11可以控制这些白 光 LED发光体 10 的发光或停止发光, 或者说, 以预定的时间间隔使这些白光 LED发光体 10发光, 从而呈现黄色闪光的模式, 以提供更强的视觉冲击作用, 从而也提供更加警示的作用。
所述多个滤光器 20位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10的恰当位置上, 优选 地, 在本实施例中, 所述多个滤光器 20还被巧妙地设计成具有聚光的作用。 也 就是说, 每所述滤光器 20可以分别将对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的白 光进行径向汇聚, 并且过滤成非白色光后再投射出去。
也就是说, 所述滤光器 20在本发明中不仅起到过滤颜色的作用, 还起到聚 光的作用。值得一提的是, 经过聚光后, 投射到适宜区域内的有效光通量得到提 高, 从而增强了信号灯的发光强度。
所述滤光器 20可以是各种起到聚光作用的透镜, 如凸透镜, 作为一个实例, 每个所述滤光器 20是一个具有滤光性能的菲涅尔透镜, 从而, 每所述白光 LED 发光体 10发出的光经所述菲涅尔透镜径向汇聚, 并且过滤成预定的非白色光后 沿着互相平行的方向投射, 从而提高了光照效率, 到达预定区域的光照具有较高 的光通量。
值得一提的是, 在本发明的这个优选实施例中, 将滤光和聚光的性能都整合 在所述滤光器 20上, 而不是单独的提供滤光片和聚光透镜的结构, 这样减少了 部件, 简化了结构。 而且如果采用两个单独的部件, 光需要穿透这两个部件, 路 径变长, 并且需要穿过多个界面, 导致部分光被反射, 这样势必会造成光强的损 失。
每个所述滤光器 20分别位于对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10前方适宜的位 置上, 其尺寸和大小可以根据需要设置, 以达到最大的聚光效果, 并且可以清除 明显的光点。 在这个警灯的实例中, 每个所述滤光器 20还提供有至少一个安装 构件 21, 从而每个所述滤光器 20藉由所述至少一个安装构件 21得以安装在对 应在所述白光 LED发光体 10的光线路径上的适宜位置处,例如每个所述滤光器 20通过镙丝固定在对应的所述安装构件 21上。 更具体地, 所述 LED信号灯还 包括多个散热装置 12,所述至少一个安装构件 21设置在对应的所述散热装置 12 和所述滤光器 20之间以将所述散热装置 12和所述滤光器 20相互连接。 当然, 所述滤光器 20的安装也可以是采用其他的方式, 只要能设置到适宜的位置起到 聚光和过滤的作用即可。 所述散热装置 12包括金属散热线路板 121和连接到所 述散热线路板 121的散热片 122, 所述散热线路板 121和所述散热片 122可以由 金属材料制得。如图 3所示, 每所述白光 LED发光体 10设置在对应的所述散热 线路板 121上。
更值得一提的是, 如图 3中所示, 每所述白光 LED发光体 10设置在由一个 反光面 30界定的容纳腔 31中, 所述反光面 30和所述滤光器 20, 即可以与所述 滤光器 20—起将所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的光进行汇聚。所述反光面 30可 以是直条形抛物面,经过所述反光面 30反射后的光和穿过所述滤光器 20的光被 汇聚成大致互相平行地投射, 如图 3中所示,所述滤光器 20与所述反光面 30之 间可以留有空隙, 以允许另外一部分光穿过这个间隙到达所述反光面 30上并不 受所述滤光器 20的影响而向外反射出去。
所述反光面 30可以是一个反光装置的具有反光作用的内表面,如图 3所示, 所述反光面 30为抛物形曲面, 其形状可以根据需要设计成最优化的状态, 以与 所述滤光器 20 (菲涅尔透镜) 达到最大的聚光的效果。
值得一提的是,在本发明的所述白光 LED发光体 10能够提供足够的光强时, 所述反光面 30也可以只起到反光的作用, 而不需要起到汇聚光线的作用。
如图 5所示, 当一个所述白光 LED发光体 10工作产生白光时, 部分白光到 达所述滤光器 20 (菲涅尔透镜), 然后被所述滤光器 20 (菲涅尔透镜)会聚并过 滤成彩色的单色光, 如图中所示,所述滤光器 20 (菲涅尔透镜)与所述白光 LED 发光体之间的 S1区域之间,是从所述白光 LED发光体为中心发出的沿着径向发 散的白光, 在经过所述滤光器 20 (菲涅尔透镜)后的 S2区域, 这些沿着径向发 散的白光被汇聚成互相平行的光并且被过滤成非白色的彩色光。
值得一提的是, 根据本发明的这个优选的实施例, 所述 LED信号灯还包括 一个壳体 40,所述壳体 40包括一光分配器 41,所述光分配器 41将所述白光 LED 发光体 10发出的全部光过滤成想要的颜色的光。 也就是说, 穿过所述滤光器 20 与所述反光面 30之间的空隙的部分光到达所述反光面 30上被反射后,穿过所述 光分配器 41时也被过滤成非白色光。也即是说, 所述滤光器 20与所述光分配器 41可以将从对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的白光过滤成同一种非白色光。 值得一提的是, 所述光分配器 41不仅起到滤光的作用, 也可以具有对输出 光做优化分配的作用,其将所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的光投向更均匀的区域。
如图 5所示,到达 S3区域即被所述反光面 30反射的光最好也与穿过所述滤 光器 20的光沿着相同的方向投射, 从而到达光照区域的光强得到增强, 并且被 所述反光面 30反射的光穿过所述光分配器 41后形成所需颜色的光。
作为一个实例, 在上述警灯中, 所述光分配器 41为黄色透镜, 从所述白光 LED发光体 10发出的光未到达所述滤光器 20而是在所述反光面 30上反射的部 分光也被所述黄色透镜过滤, 所述滤光器 20将大部分所述白光 LED发光体 10 发出的白光过滤成黄光, 从而提供黄色警灯。 而且在本实施例中, 警灯可以直接 用黄色光分配器, 相对于现有技术中以黄光 LED发光体为光源, 无色透明罩为 外罩的警灯, 本发明的警灯在外观上也更具有传统的功能色彩, 更能给人以警示 作用。 值得一提的是, 所述光分配器 41可以直接用作所述 LED信号灯的外罩。
在实施为警灯的 LED信号灯的本优选实施例中, 所述壳体 40还包括底座 42, 所述光分配器 41与所述底座 42形成一个腔体, 所述多个白光 LED发光体 10, 多个滤光器 20等装置都设置在所述腔体中。所述壳体 40顶部还可包括一个 修饰罩 43, 以给所述 LED信号灯提供其他装饰作用, 也增强美观效果。 所述壳 体 40还包括必要的电线 44, 所述电线 44电性连接到所述控制器 11, 以给所述 控制器 11提供电源供应, 从而操作所述 LED信号灯的运行。 所述电线 44穿过 密封板 45并且通过密封胶 46固定。所述光分配器 41与所述底座 42通过密封圈 47得以无缝紧密连接。
如图 6A和图 6B所示, 为根据本发明的另外一个实施例的 LED信号灯, 本 实施例中的 LED信号灯与上述实施例中的 LED信号灯具有类似结构。而在本实 施例中, 所述反光面 30A为所述散热装置 12A的内表面, 也就是说, 所述散热 装置 12A的内表面具有反光作用, 从而与作为滤光器 20A的菲涅尔透镜一起起 到聚光的作用, 使对应的所述白光 LED发光体投射出去的光比较笔直, 并且与 所述反光面 30A连接的有一滤光罩 50A, 以用来允许预定颜色的光透过。 也就 是说, 起到与上述实施例的光分配器 41作用相同的滤光罩 50A直接与所述反光 面 30A对接, 以形成一个封闭的容纳腔 31A。
本发明提供了一种 LED信号灯, 其相当于包括了一个或多个发光单元, 每 个发光单元包括一白光 LED发光体 10, 一滤光器 20, 一反光面 30。 所述白光 LED发光体 10发出白光, 经过所述滤光器 20的颜色过滤作用, 以及滤光器 20 和反光面 30可以额外提供的聚光作用, 从而得到光照效率提高的彩色信号光。 这些发光单元经过合适的安排, 可以提供沿圆周方向投射的彩色光, 从而提供环 射信号光。
本发明实质上提供一种 LED信号灯的形成方法, 该方法包括如下步骤:
(a) 通过至少一白光 LED发光体 10受激发而提供白色光; 和
(b) 所述白色光中的至少部分所述白色光被过滤成非白色光。
所述步骤(a)还可以包括步骤(a.l ): 将多个所述白光 LED发光体 10排列 成多列白光 LED发光体 10, 所述多列白光 LED发光体 10所在的直线相交以形 成多边形, 从而可以提供环射光。

在上述步骤 (b.l ) 中, 所述滤光器 20可以为具有滤光性能的菲涅尔透镜, 所述菲涅尔透镜设置在可以聚光的位置处, 从而所述滤光器 20可以起到滤光和 聚光的作用。
在上述步骤 (b.l ) 中, 所述预定颜色为红色、 蓝色、 黄色、 绿色、 紫色等。 该方法还可包括如下步骤 (c): 设置一反光面 30以反射部分所述白色光, 所述部分被反射的所述白色光与被所述滤光器 20过滤后的光沿着相同的方向投 射。
在上述步骤(c) 中, 所述反光面可以为一个反光装置 31的抛物面, 或者是 散热装置 12的内表面。
该方法还可包括如下步骤 (d): 所述 LED信号灯还提供有一壳体 40, 所述 壳体 40包括一个光分配器 41, 所述光分配器 41为一个带颜色的外透镜, 使所 述 LED信号灯发出的有色光的输出更均匀, 颜色更鲜艳。 在所述方法中, 所形成的 LED信号灯可以是警灯, 航标灯, 船舶航行灯或 楼宇航空障碍灯等。
图 7至图 11所示为根据本发明的一个优选实施例的 LED信号灯。在本实施 例中, 所述 LED信号灯可以为警灯, 其包括多个光源, 和设置在所述多个光源 路径上的对应的多个光处理器 20B。
根据本发明,所述多个光源为多个白光 LED发光体 10B。所述多个白光 LED 发光体 10B可以从市场上购得, 例如可以是市售的单芯片或多芯片型白光 LED 发光体。 所述多个光处理器 20B分别位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10BB的光 线路径上, 例如, 所述多个光处理器 20BB分别位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10BB的一侧,将每个所述白光 LED发光体 10BB发出的至少部分白色光过滤成 非白色光, 从而得到非白色光的信号灯, 在本实施例中, 也即是得到非白色光警 灯。 具体地, 所述多个光处理器 20B可以分别将所述多个白光 LED发光体 10B 发出的至少部分白色光过滤成红光, 蓝光, 绿光, 黄光, 紫光等单色光, 从而分 别得到红光, 蓝光, 绿光, 黄光, 紫光的信号灯, 在本实施例中, 所述多个光处 理器 20B可以分别将所述多个白光 LED发光体 10B发出的至少部分白色光过滤 成红光或黄光, 从而可以提供红光或黄光警灯。
本发明的彩色信号灯通过过滤所述多个白光 LED发光体 10B发出的光得到 彩色信号光, 而白光 LED的光源在现有市场上是很容易获得的, 并且相对于直 接用彩色 LED发光体作光源,本发明的 LED信号灯更容易获得较高的光强并且 价格更便宜。 例如一个较高的光通量例如每瓦 150流明 (lm) 的白光 LED光源 已经是很容易在市场上购得, 在经所述光处理器 20B 过滤成彩色光后, 所得到 的彩色光的光强仍然高于单独采用彩色光 LED芯片所得到的彩色光所达到技术 指标值的光强。 例如本实施例中的黄色警灯, 在经过所述光处理器 20B 过滤成 黄色光后, 还剩下大约 60%, 则仍然具有每瓦大约 90流明 (lm) 的黄光, 其仍 然比市场上出售的以黄光 LED发光体作光源得到的黄光的光通量( 50〜60流明) 要高。
本发明中的 "过滤"指的是, 所述多个白光 LED发光体 10B发出的光分别 经过对应的所述多个光处理器 20B 后, 只得到非白色光的预定颜色的单色滤出 光, 所述的预定颜色可以是上述的红色, 蓝色, 绿色, 黄色等。
因为市场上的白光 LED发光体 10B已经可以达到具有较高的光通量, 并且 市场上对白光 LED发光体 10B的研究还在不断进行中, 所以说, 作为光源的白 光 LED发光体 10B的光通量可以继续提高, 而对彩色 LED发光体 10B研究还 较少, 其光通量还处于较低的数值。 从而, 以白光 LED发光体作为光源, 得到 彩色光的信号灯, 高光通量的白光 LED发光体可以直接从市场上购买得到, 从 而其制作过程相对简单。
值得一提的是, 本发明的 LED信号灯包括至少两列所述白光 LED发光体 10B, 例如作为实例, LED信号灯包括三列, 四列, 六列, 八列, 或十二列等的 所述白光 LED发光体 10B, 每一列包括一个或多个白光 LED发光体 10B。 从而 所述多列白光 LED发光体 10B顺次地排列以使所述多列白光 LED发光体 10B 所在的直线相交以形成正三角形、 正四边形、 正六边形、 正八边形、 正十二边形 或其他正多边形。当然,所述多列白光 LED发光体 10B可以不排列成正多边形, 以满足非环射的扇形区域内发光特性的信号灯的需要。每一列也根据需要可以设 置与其他列不同数目的所述白光 LED发光体 10B, 本发明在此方面不受限制, 实际应用时可以根据具体需要进行设置。
可以预料到的是, 提供的所述白光 LED发光体 10B的列越多, 数目越多, 这些白光 LED发光体 10B所产生的光越呈环射状, 投射出去的光的明亮区域和 较暗区域可以最大限度地叠加在一起, 从而可以提供 360° 角度的均匀光照。 本 发明的信号灯可以是环射 LED信号灯, 这里的 "环射"指的是这些白光 LED发 光体 10B被排列成提供沿圆周投射的光,当然优选地,这些白光 LED发光体 10B 被排列成提供沿圆周方向的 360° 角度范围内的投射光。 可选择地, 根据一些具 体的需要, 这些多列的所述白光 LED发光体 10B中的其中某一列或某些列所述 白光 LED发光体 10B被去除, 从而可以根据需要在某一个方向或几个方向上不 提供光照。 也就是说, 本发明的 LED信号灯也可以根据需要提供扇形或半圆形 范围的光照, 例如 180° 或 270° 角度范围的光照。
值得一提的是,这些列所述白光 LED发光体 10B的对应的所述光处理器 20B 可以将所述白光 LED发光体 10B的光过滤成不同的颜色。 例如在六列所述白光 LED发光体 10B中的三列所述白光 LED发光体 10B对应设置有红光光处理器 20B, 而其余三列所述白光 LED发光体 10B对应设置有蓝光光处理器 20B, 所 述 LED信号灯进一步包括有一个控制器 11B, 其可以通过控制电路的开合, 而 使六列所述白光 LED发光体 10B可选择性地打开, 从而分别提供红光或蓝光, 或者可以交替的红光和蓝光。 此时, LED信号灯的外罩可以是透明的。
在本实施例中, 作为一个警灯的实例, 这个警灯包括六列所述白光 LED发 光体 10B, 每列所述白光 LED发光体 10B包括三个所述白光 LED发光体 10B, 每个所述白光 LED发光体 10B的光线路径上设置有一个所述光处理器 20B, 以 将这些白光 LED发光体 10B发出的白色光中的至少部分白色光过滤成黄色光, 从而提供一个黄色警灯。
可以想到的是,在上述黄色警灯的实例中,所述控制器 11B可以控制这些白 光 LED发光体 10B的发光或停止发光, 或者说, 以预定的时间间隔使这些白光 LED发光体 10B发光, 从而呈现黄色闪光的模式, 以提供更强的视觉冲击作用, 从而也提供更加警示的作用。
所述多个光处理器 20B位于所述多个白光 LED发光体 10B的恰当位置上, 优选地, 在本实施例中, 所述多个光处理器 20B 还被巧妙地设计成具有聚光的 作用。 也就是说, 每所述光处理器 20B可以分别将对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10B发出的白光进行径向汇聚, 并且过滤成非白色光后再投射出去。
也就是说, 所述光处理器 20B 在本发明中不仅起到过滤颜色的作用, 还起 到聚光的作用。值得一提的是, 经过聚光后, 投射到适宜区域内的有效光通量得 到提高, 从而增强了信号灯的发光强度。
所述光处理器 20B 可以是各种起到聚光作用的透镜, 如凸透镜, 作为一个 实例, 每个所述光处理器 20B 是一个具有滤光性能的菲涅尔透镜, 从而, 每所 述白光 LED发光体 10B发出的光经所述菲涅尔透镜径向汇聚, 并且过滤成预定 的非白色光后沿着互相平行的方向投射, 从而提高了光照效率, 到达预定区域的 光照具有较高的光通量。
每个所述光处理器 20B分别位于对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10B前方适宜 的位置上, 其尺寸和大小可以根据需要设置, 以达到最大的聚光效果, 并且可以 清除明显的光点。 在这个警灯的实例中, 每个所述光处理器 20B 还提供有至少 一个安装构件 21B,从而每个所述光处理器 20B藉由所述至少一个安装构件 21B 得以安装在对应在所述白光 LED发光体 10B的光线路径上的适宜位置处, 例如 每个所述光处理器 20B通过镙丝固定在对应的所述安装构件 21B上。更具体地, 所述 LED信号灯还包括多个散热装置 12B, 所述至少一个安装构件 21B设置在 对应的所述散热装置 12B和所述光处理器 20B之间以将所述散热装置 12B和所 述光处理器 20B相互连接。 当然, 所述光处理器 20B的安装也可以是采用其他 的方式, 只要能设置到适宜的位置起到聚光和过滤的作用即可。 所述散热装置 12B包括金属散热线路板 121b和连接到所述散热线路板 121B的散热片 122B, 所述散热线路板 121B和所述散热片 122B可以由金属材料制得。如图 10B所示, 每所述白光 LED发光体 10B设置在对应的所述散热线路板 121B上。
更值得一提的是, 如图 10B中所示, 每所述白光 LED发光体 10B设置在由 一个反光面 30B界定的容纳腔 31B中, 所述反光面 30和所述光处理器 20B, 即 可以与光处理器 20B—起将所述白光 LED发光体 10B发出的光进行汇聚。所述 反光面 30B可以是直条形抛物面, 经过所述反光面 30B反射后的光和穿过所述 光处理器 20B的光被汇聚成大致互相平行地投射, 如图 10B中所示, 所述光处 理器 20B与所述反光面 30之间可以留有空隙, 以允许另外一部分光穿过这个间 隙到达所述反光面 30B上, 并不受所述滤光器 20的影响而向外发射出去。
所述反光面 30B可以是一个反光装置的具有反光作用的内表面, 如图 10B 所示, 所述反光面 30B 为抛物形曲面, 其形状可以根据需要设计成最优化的状 态, 以与所述光处理器 20B (菲涅尔透镜) 达到最大的聚光的效果。
值得一提的是, 在本发明的所述白光 LED发光体 10B能够提供足够的光强 时, 所述反光面 30B也可以只起到反光的作用, 而不需要起到汇聚光线的作用。
如图 11所示, 当一个所述白光 LED发光体 10B工作产生白光时,部分白光 到达所述光处理器 20B (菲涅尔透镜), 然后被所述光处理器 20B (菲涅尔透镜) 会聚并过滤成彩色的单色光, 如图中所示, 所述光处理器 20B (菲涅尔透镜)与 所述白光 LED发光体之间的 S1区域之间, 是从所述白光 LED发光体为中心发 出的沿着径向的白光, 在经过所述光处理器 20B (菲涅尔透镜) 后的 S2区域, 这些沿着径向的白光被汇聚成互相平行的光并且被过滤成非白色的彩色光。
值得一提的是, 根据本发明的这个优选的实施例, 所述 LED信号灯还包括 一个壳体 40B, 所述壳体 40B包括一光分配器 41B, 所述光分配器 41B将所述 白光 LED发光体 10B发出的全部光过滤成想要的颜色的光。 也就是说, 穿过所 述光处理器 20B与所述反光面 30B之间的空隙的部分光到达所述反光面 30B上 被反射后, 穿过所述光分配器 41B 时也被过滤成非白色光。 也即是说, 所述光 处理器 20B与所述光分配器 41B可以将从对应的所述白光 LED发光体 10B发出 的白光过滤成同一种非白色光。 值得一提的是, 所述光分配器 41B 不仅起到滤光的作用, 也可以对输出光 做优化分配,其将所述白光 LED发光体 10B发出的光更均匀地投向适宜的区域。
如图 11所示, 到达 S3区域即被所述反光面 30B反射的光最好也与穿过所 述光处理器 20B的光沿着相同的方向投射, 从而到达光照区域的光强得到增强, 并且被所述反光面 30B反射的光穿过所述光分配器 41B后形成所需颜色的光。
作为一个实例, 在上述警灯中, 所述光分配器 41B 为黄色透镜, 从所述白 光 LED发光体 10B发出的光未到达所述光处理器 20B而是在所述反光面 30上 反射的部分光也被所述黄色透镜过滤,所述光处理器 20B将大部分所述白光 LED 发光体 10B 发出的白光过滤成黄光, 从而提供黄色警灯。 而且在本实施例中, 警灯可以直接用黄色光分配器, 相对于现有技术中以黄光 LED发光体为光源, 无色透明罩为外罩的警灯, 本发明的警灯的外观更具有传统的功能色彩, 更能给 人以警示作用。 值得一提的是, 所述光分配器 41B可以直接用作所述 LED信号 灯的外罩。
在实施为警灯的 LED信号灯的本优选实施例中, 所述壳体 40还包括底座 42, 所述光分配器 41B与所述底座 42B形成一个腔体, 所述多个白光 LED发光 体 10B, 多个光处理器 20B等装置都设置在所述腔体中。 所述壳体 40B顶部还 可包括一个修饰罩 43B, 以给所述 LED信号灯提供其他装饰作用, 也增强美观 效果。 所述壳体 40B还包括必要的电线 44B, 所述电线 44B电性连接到所述控 制器 11B, 以给所述控制器 11B提供电源供应, 从而操作所述 LED信号灯的运 行。所述电线 44B穿过密封板 45B并且通过密封胶 46B固定。所述光分配器 41B 与所述底座 42B通过密封圈 47B得以无缝紧密连接。本发明提供了一种 LED信 号灯, 其相当于包括了一个或多个发光单元, 每个发光单元包括一白光 LED发 光体 10B, —光处理器 20BB, —反光面 30。 所述白光 LED发光体 10B发出白 光, 经过所述光处理器 20B的颜色过滤作用, 以及光处理器 20B和反光面 30B 可以额外提供的聚光作用, 从而得到光照效率提高的彩色信号光。这些发光单元 经过合适的安排, 可以提供沿圆周方向投射的彩色光, 从而提供环射信号光。
值得一提的是, 本发明的光处理器实质上可以是聚光器。 也就是说, 本发明 的 LED信号灯包括至少一 LED发光体, 和设置在所述至少一 LED发光体的光 线路径上的至少一光处理器, 所述光处理器将对应所述的 LED发光体发出的至 少部分光线径向汇聚后投射出去。 更值得一提的是, 在本发明的光处理器实质上可以是聚光器时, 所述 LED 发光体可以是彩色 LED发光体, 从而所述光处理器也可以不起到滤光的作用便 得到彩色光。
所述 LED发光体为白光 LED发光体, 所述光处理器进一步具有滤光作用, 以将所述白光 LED发光体发出的白色光过滤成非白色光的预定颜色的光。
在光处理器是滤光器时, 本发明的 LED信号灯的形成方法包括如下步骤: (a' ) 通过至少一白光 LED发光体 10B受激发而提供白色光; 和
(b' ) 所述白色光中的至少部分所述白色光被过滤成非白色光。
所述步骤 (a' ) 还可以包括步骤 (a.r): 将多个所述白光 LED发光体 10B 排列成多列白光 LED发光体 10B,所述多列白光 LED发光体 10B所在的直线相 交以形成多边形, 从而可以提供环射光。
在上述步骤 (a.l' ) 中, 每列白光 LED发光体 10B包括一个或多个所述白 光 LED发光体 10B。

在所述方法中, 所形成的 LED信号灯可以是警灯, 航标灯, 船舶航行灯或 楼宇航空障碍灯等。
如图 12所示, 根据本发明的第四优选实施例, LED信号灯包括六列所述白 光 LED发光体 10C, 每一列包括一个或多个所述白光 LED发光体 10C, 并且每 个所述 LED白光发光体 10C的光线路径上设置有对应的一个所述滤光器 20C。 从而所述六列白光 LED发光体 10C顺次地排列以使所述多列白光 LED发光体 10C所在的直线相交以形成正六边形。
在本实施例中,所述 LED信号灯还包括一控制模块 60C,所述控制模块 60C 可选择性地控制每列所述白光 LED发光体 10C的开合,以使所述 LED信号灯产 生的光能产生特定的样式。 也就是说, 通过六列所述白光 LED发光体 10C中有 些列发光, 而有些列不发光, 从而产生不同的光照效果。
在一个具体的例子中, 所述六列白光 LED发光体依次闪烁, 从而产生一种 旋转光的效果。更具体地,六列所述 LED发光体包括顺次设置的第一列白光 LED 发光体 101C, 第二列白光 LED发光体 102C, 第三列白光 LED发光体 103C, 第四列白光 LED发光体 104C,第五列白光 LED发光体 105C,和第六列白光 LED 发光体 106C, 所述控制模块 60C先打开所述第一列白光 LED发光体 101C使其 发光, 并被其对应的所述滤光器 20C过滤成想要的颜色, 以提供信号光。 然后, 所述控制模块 60C打开邻近所述第一列白光 LED发光体 101C的所述第二列白 光 LED发光体 102C或者所述第六列白光 LED发光体 106C,并且光闭所述第一 列白光 LED发光体 102。 重复这样的操作, 便可以分别得到顺时针或逆时针依 次闪烁的信号光。 值得一提的是, 所述控制模块 60C可以使这些列白光 LED发 光体中至少有一列所述白光 LED发光体处于打开状态, 从而所得所述 LEC信号 灯所发出的光能持续不断。 所述控制模块 60C使这些列白光 LED发光体中所述 白光 LED发光体发光时可以同时打开邻近的两列所述白光 LED发光体,如所述 第一和第二列所述白光 LED发光体 101C和 102C先同时发光, 以提供 120° 角 度的照明, 然后再依次打开第三和第四列所述白光 LED发光体 103C和 104C, 接着再打开所述第五和第六列所述白光 LED发光体 105C和 106C, 然后重复上 述步骤。 再值得一提的是, 所述控制模块使所述多列白光 LE发光体中选择性地 提供顺次地一个角度范围的信号光照明,这个角度例如可以是 30° ,45° ,60° , 90° , 120° 或 180° 。
可以预料到的是, 除了上述顺时针或逆时针依次闪烁的信号光, 可以通过控 制不同列的所述白光 LED发光体发光的顺序, 来得到不同的信号光的样式, 例 如某一列所述白光 LED发光体连续打开关闭几次, 以提供警示信息, 还比如所 述第一列白光 LED发光体 101C与所述第四列白光 LED发光体 104C—起发光 然后关闭, 接着所述第二列白光 LED发光体 102C与所述第五列白光 LED发光 体 105C—起发光然后关闭,、 然后所述第三列白光 LED发光体 103C与所述第 六列白光 LED发光体 106C—起发光然后关闭,如此重复又可以提供不同的信号 光。 还比如, 先打开所述第一列白光 LED 发光体 101C, 然后保持第一列白光 LED发光体 101C处于打开状态并且打开邻近所述第一列白光 LED发光体 101C 的所述第二列白光 LED发光体 102C和所述第六列白光 LED发光体 106C,然后 保持上述三列白光 LED发光体 101C, 102C和 106C处于打开状态并打开所述第 三列白光 LED发光体 103C和所述第五列白光 LED发光体 105C,然后打开所述 第四列白光 LED发光体 104C后再关闭所有白光 LED发光体, 重复上述步骤, 又得到信号光的一种不同的样式。 也就是说, 所述 LEC信号灯通过控制所述白 光 LED发光体 10C所呈现出的不同样式来提供不同的信号。
如图 13所示, 根据上述第四实施例的一个变形实施方式, 所述控制器 60C 先控制所述第一, 二和三列白光 LED发光体 101 C, 102C和 103C先发光, 从 而使所述 LEC信号灯提供半圆形大致 180° 角度的信号光的照明, 然后关闭所 述第一, 二和三列白光 LED发光体 101 C, 102C和 103C, 并打开所述第四, 五和六列白光 LED发光体 104C, 1050和 1060,以提供另外半圆形大致 180° 角度的信号光的照明。 也就是说, 所述控制器 60C可以控制多列所述白光 LED 发光体的打开和关闭。值得一提的是, 传统的彩色光发光体发出的光, 在光线叠 加的区域会出现暗区, 而在本发明中, 如上述变形实施方式中, 所述第一, 二和 三列白光 LED发光体 1 01 C, 102C和 103C发光时,所述第一和第二列白光 LED 发光体 101 C, 102C经滤光器 20C的过滤并且聚光作用之后, 在其光照的叠加 区域不会出现明显暗区, 同样地, 所述第二和第三列白光 LED发光体 101 C, 102C经滤光器 20C的过滤并且聚光作用之后,在其光照的叠加区域也不会出现 明显暗区, 从而使所述第一, 二和三列白光 LED发光体 101 C, 102C和 103C 作为一个光源整体时, 发出的光的强度高并且分布均匀。 如图 14至图 1 6所示是根据本发明的第五个优选实施例的 LED信号灯的结 构示意图。 所述 LED信号灯包括一 LED光源, 所述 LED光源包括一个或多个 LED灯珠 100, 所述 LED信号灯进一步包括一灯罩 200, 以容纳所述一个或多 个 LED灯珠 100。从所述 LED灯珠 100发出来的光即是预定颜色的彩色光, 从 而可以得到本发明所需要的彩色 LED信号灯。 所述灯罩 200的结构可以与上述 优选实施例中 LED信号灯的所述壳体 40类似。
更具体地, 各个所述 LED灯珠 100中封装有一个白光 LED发光体 110, 在 封装完后, 所述白光 LED发光体 110的白光被过滤成所需要的预定颜色的彩色 光。 相应地, 各个所述 LED灯珠 100的封装体 120可以具有过滤的作用, 从而 将穿过所述封装体 120的白色光过滤成所需要的预定颜色的彩色光。
也就是说, 各个所述 LED灯珠 100具有支架、 导线、 散热装置等, 所述白 光 LED发光体 110也可以设置有荧光粉。但是,所述白光 LED发光体 110被封 装成所述 LED灯珠 100后, 发出来的光是所述预定颜色的彩色光。 所述封装体 120的材料可以是环氧树脂、 玻璃材料、 有机硅材料、 聚碳酸脂、 聚甲基丙烯酸 甲脂等。 但是, 相对于现有技术, 本发明的封装体 120 具有滤色的作用。 可以 说, 本发明的所述 LED灯珠, 其实质是白光作为光源, 但是在封装后, 出来的 光是经过滤后形成的彩色光, 这是现有技术中没有预料到的。
值得一提的是, 本发明这个优选实施例的 LED信号灯的其他结构也可以构 造成类似上述优实施例中的结构。 具体地, 各个所述 LED灯珠 100包括至少一 白光 LED发光体 110, 并且所述 LED信号灯在所述 LED灯珠 100的光线路径 中配置有至少一聚光器 130。 所述聚光器 130位于所述 LED灯珠 1 00的恰当位 置上, 具体地, 在本实施例中, 所述多个聚光器 130被巧妙地设计成具有聚光的 作用。 也就是说, 每所述滤光器 130可以分别将对应的所述 LED灯珠 100发出 的白光进行径向汇聚, 并且过滤成非白色光后再投射出去。
值得一提的是, 在本发明的这个优选实施例中, 因为从所述 LED灯珠 100 发出来的光已经是过滤后形成的彩色光, 所以所述聚光器 130 与上述的滤光器 20的区别在于, 所述聚光器 130可以不提供滤色功能, 而只是执行聚光的功能。
所述聚光器 130可以是各种起到聚光作用的透镜结构, 如凸透镜结构, 作为 一个实例, 每个所述聚光器 130可以是一个菲涅尔透镜, 从而, 各个所述 LED 灯珠 100发出的光经所述菲涅尔透镜径向汇聚后沿着互相平行的方向投射,从而 提高了光照效率, 到达预定区域的光照具有较高的光通量。 每一个所述 LED灯 珠 100可以设置有一个对应的所述聚光器 130。 也可以是多个所述聚光器 130形 成一个整体结构, 以对应多个所述 LED灯珠 100。
类似地, 各个所述白光 LED发光体 110设置在由一个反光装置 140界定的 容纳腔中,所述反光装置 140和所述聚光器 130—起将所述白光 LED发光体 110 发出的光进行汇聚。经过所述反光装置 140反射后的光和穿过所述聚光器 130的 光被汇聚成大致互相平行地投射。所述聚光器 130与所述反光装置 140之间可以 留有空隙,以允许另外一部分光穿过这个间隙到达所述反光装置 140上并不受所 述聚光器 130的影响而向外反射出去。 当然这个空隙处, 也可以安装有透明的透 镜。
这样,本实施例的 LED灯珠 100就到了预定颜色的彩色光。将多个所述 LED 灯珠 100排成多列, 每列包括一个或多个所述 LED灯珠 100, 就可以得到照射 区域在不同角度范围或提供不同形状的照射区域的 LED信号灯。
