Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Meldeleuchte für eine optische Anzeige.The invention relates to a signal lamp for an optical display.

Bekannte Leuchtanzeigen, die mit Leuchtdioden bestückt sind, haben zumeist eine unzureichende Lichtverteilung und ungleichmäßige Ausleuchtung, so dass die Anzeige schlechter ist als vergleichbare Ausleuchtungen mit Glühlampen. Es gibt verschiedene Leuchtdiodentypen mit sehr unterschiedlichen Ausleuchtungsbildern. Eine Leuchtdiode mit einem engen Leuchtwinkel erzeugt eine helle, scharfe Punktausleuchtung, aber keine Flächenausleuchtung. Eine Leuchtdiode mit einem breiten Leuchtwinkel erzeugt keine ausreichende Helligkeit, um den Anforderungen für eine eindeutige Signalgabe zu genügen. Es ist bekannt, eine Platine mit mehreren aufgebondeten Leuchtdioden zu verwenden, eine sogenannte Multi LED. Diese Variante ist allerdings relativ teuer und es kann dennoch eine nur geringfügig bessere Ausleuchtung erzielt werden. Zudem tritt eine große Erwärmung auf, so dass ein Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen auf Grund der Normvorgaben gem. DIN EN 50014/18/19 eingeschränkt ist. Außerdem ist es bekannt, normale Leuchtdioden in bestimmten Abständen kreisförmig anzuordnen und eine Leuchtfläche mit einer Vielzahl kleiner Linsen vorzusehen. Die dabei abwechselnd auftretenden Hell- und Dunkelzonen sind jedoch störend, insbesondere dann, wenn sich auf der Leuchtfläche Symbole oder Schriftzeichen befinden. Zudem ist auch diese Anordnung kostenaufwendig. Known light displays, which are equipped with light-emitting diodes, mostly have insufficient light distribution and uneven illumination, so that the display is worse than comparable illuminations with incandescent lamps. There are different types of LEDs with very different ones Illumination images. A light emitting diode with a narrow lighting angle produces a bright, sharp point illumination, but no surface illumination. A light-emitting diode with a wide lighting angle does not produce a sufficient one Brightness to meet the requirements for clear signaling suffice. It is known to be a circuit board with several light-emitting diodes bonded on to use a so-called multi LED. However, this variant is Relatively expensive and it can still be a slightly better one Illumination can be achieved. In addition, there is a great deal of warming, so that use in potentially explosive atmospheres based on the standards gem. DIN EN 50014/18/19 is restricted. It is also known Arrange normal light emitting diodes in a circle at certain intervals and to provide a luminous area with a large number of small lenses. The one there alternating light and dark zones are annoying, especially when there are symbols or characters on the illuminated surface are located. In addition, this arrangement is also expensive.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Meldeleuchte für eine optische Anzeige zu schaffen, bei der mit einfachen Mitteln eine hohe Funktionstüchtigkeit mit niedriger Betriebstemperatur und einer hellen und gleichmäßigen Ausleuchtung erzielt wird.The object of the invention is a signal lamp for an optical To create ad, with simple means a high level of functionality with low operating temperature and a bright and even Illumination is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 solved.

Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind durch die Merkmale der Unteransprüche gekennzeichnet.Preferred refinements and developments of the invention are through characterized the features of the subclaims.

Weitere Vorteile und wesentliche Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und der Zeichnung zu entnehmen, die in einer einzigen geschnittenen Figur in schematischer Darstellung eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform als Beispiel zeigt.Further advantages and essential details of the invention are the following Description and the drawing can be seen in a single sectional figure in a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment shows as an example.

Die erfindungsgemäße Meldeleuchte weist ein Gehäuse 1 mit einem Deckel 2 und einem Fußteil 3 auf, der an einer hier nicht dargestellten Profilschiene befestigbar ist. In dem Gehäuse 1 befinden sich elektrische Leiterteile 4 für den Anschluss von hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellten elektrischen Zu- und Ableitungen bzw. Anschlussklemmen.The indicator light according to the invention has a housing 1 with a cover 2 and a foot part 3 on a rail, not shown here is attachable. In the housing 1 there are electrical conductor parts 4 for the connection of electrical feed and also not shown here Discharges or terminals.

In dem Gehäuse 1 ist zudem ein aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material hergestellter Leuchtstab 5 angeordnet, der im wesentlichen als im Querschnitt kreiszylindrisches Rohr gestaltet ist , das den Deckel 2 durchsetzt und überragt. Der in dem Gehäuse 1 befindliche Teil des Leuchtstabs 5 weist einen in dem Gehäuse 1 verankerten rechteckförmigen Rohrendteil 6 auf, dessen Rechteckmaß etwas größer ist als der übrige Teil des Leuchtstabs 5. Am Beginn des Rohrendteils 6 ist auf Grund des größeren Rechteckmaßes eine Schulter 7 ausgebildet. In diesem Bereich ist der Leuchtstab 5 mit einem in das Gehäuse 1 eingebrachten Gießharz 8 umgossen, das die Schulter 7 übergreift. Der Gießharzverguss 8 ist so ausgeführt, dass er den genormten Anforderungen des Explosionsschutzes gem. DIN EN 50014/18/19 entspricht. In the housing 1 is also made of a translucent material manufactured light bar 5 arranged, which is essentially as in cross section circular cylindrical tube is designed, which passes through the lid 2 and surmounted. The part of the light rod 5 located in the housing 1 has a rectangular tubular end part 6 anchored in the housing 1, whose rectangular dimension is somewhat larger than the remaining part of the light stick 5. At the beginning of the pipe end part 6 is due to the larger rectangular dimension a shoulder 7 is formed. In this area, the light stick 5 with a poured into the housing 1 introduced casting resin 8, the shoulder 7th overlaps. The cast resin potting 8 is designed so that it is the standardized Explosion protection requirements acc. Corresponds to DIN EN 50014/18/19.

Der dem Rohrendteil 6 entferntliegende Endbereich des Leuchtstabs 5 ist als etwa halbkugelförmige Leuchtkuppe 9 ausgebildet, wodurch der rohrförmige Leuchtstab 5 geschlossen ist. Der Leuchtstab 5 ist materialeinheitlich einstükkig ausgeführt, wobei die Wanddicke sowohl an der Leuchtkuppe 9 als auch am Rohrendteil 6 und auch zwischen diesen Endbereichen im wesentlichen gleich ist. Für eine Verwendung in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen kann der Leuchtstab 5 zweckmäßig als druckfeste Kapsel entsprechend den Anforderungen der Explosionsschutznorm DIN EN 50014/18/19 ausgebildet sein.The end region of the light rod 5 which is remote from the tube end part 6 is as formed approximately hemispherical light cap 9, whereby the tubular Light stick 5 is closed. The light stick 5 is made of one piece of the same material executed, the wall thickness both on the light cap 9 and on the tube end part 6 and also between these end regions essentially is equal to. For use in potentially explosive areas, the Glow stick 5 useful as a pressure-resistant capsule according to the requirements the explosion protection standard DIN EN 50014/18/19.

In dem Leuchtstab 5 kann eine Leiterplatte 10 gelagert sein, die vorzugsweise zwischen stegförmigen Halterippen 11 gehalten ist. An der Leiterplatte 10 kann eine Leuchtdiode 12 kontaktiert sein, die sich etwas unterhalb der Leuchtkuppe 9 befindet und zu letzterer hin ausgerichtet ist. Außerdem können auf der Leiterplatte 10 der Funktion der Leuchtdiode 12 dienliche elektronische Bauteile 13 vorgesehen sein.A printed circuit board 10 can be mounted in the light bar 5, which is preferably is held between web-shaped holding ribs 11. On the circuit board 10 can be contacted a light emitting diode 12, which is slightly below the Light cap 9 is located and is oriented towards the latter. Moreover can serve on the circuit board 10 of the function of the light emitting diode 12 electronic components 13 may be provided.

Um eine gleichmäßige und helle Ausleuchtung zu erzielen, kann mindestens die der Leuchtdiode 12 zugewandte halbkugelförmige Innenfläche 14 der Leuchtkuppe 9 eine feinperlige Struktur aufweisen, die zweckmäßig so gestaltet ist, dass eine Vielzahl kleiner kugelförmiger bzw. perlförmiger Erhebungen und eine Vielzahl kleiner Mulden abwechselnd unmittelbar nebeneinander liegen, so dass die Innenfläche 14 nicht glatt, sondern fein aufgeraut ist. Eine derart feingeraute Innenflächenstruktur kann vorzugsweise durch Erodieren, Ätzen, Kornstrahlen oder durch eine entsprechende Gestaltung der Formoberfläche erzielt werden. Die feingeraute Innflächenstruktur bewirkt, dass das von der Leuchtdiode 12 ausgesandte Licht sich an der gesamten Innenfläche 14 der Leuchtkuppe 9 so bricht und verfängt, dass die Leuchtkuppe 9 insgesamt als ein einheitlich großer Leuchtkörper leuchtet. Darüber hinaus kann es günstig sein, den Leuchtstab 5, mindestens aber die Leuchtkuppe 9 diffus milchig oder milchig/farbig fluoreszierend einzufärben. Durch eine solche Einfärbung wird die Lichtdurchlässigkeit derart reduziert, dass bei eingeschalteter Leuchtdiode 12 ein gewisses Eigenleuchten des Leuchtstabs 5 bzw. der Leuchtkuppe 9 auftritt, wodurch die Ausleuchtung noch gleichmäßiger und intensiver wird. In order to achieve an even and bright illumination, at least the hemispherical inner surface 14 of the light-emitting diode 12 facing the Light cap 9 have a fine-pearled structure, which is expedient is designed that a large number of small spherical or pearl-shaped Elevations and a multitude of small troughs alternately immediately lie side by side, so that the inner surface 14 is not smooth, but fine is roughened. Such a fine-roughened inner surface structure can preferably by eroding, etching, grain blasting or by an appropriate design the mold surface can be achieved. The fine-roughened interior structure causes that the light emitted by the light emitting diode 12 to the entire inner surface 14 of the light cap 9 breaks and catches that the Light cap 9 as a whole illuminates as a uniformly large luminous element. In addition, it may be favorable to light bar 5, or at least the Dye the light cap 9 diffuse milky or milky / colored fluorescent. Such a coloring reduces the translucency in such a way that when the light emitting diode 12 is switched on, a certain amount of self-illumination of the Illuminated rod 5 or the light cap 9 occurs, whereby the illumination becomes even more even and intense.

Wie der Zeichnung weiterhin zu entnehmen ist, kann die Meldeleuchte einen Leuchtvorsatz 15 aufweisen, der den aus dem Deckel 2 herausragenden Teil des Leuchtstabs 5 überdeckt. Der Leuchtvorsatz 15 weist ein den Leuchtstab 5 rohrförmig umschließendes Einsatzgehäuse 16 und eine Leuchtkappe 17 auf, die mittels eines Frontrings 18 an dem Einsatzgehäuse 16 befestigt ist. Zwischen einem Rand 19 der Leuchtkappe 17 und dem Einsatzgehäuse 16 befindet sich ein Dichtungsring 20. Für die Befestigung des Leuchtvorsatzes 15 an einer Montagewand 21 kann an dem Einsatzgehäuse 16 eine Gewindemutter 22 drehbar gelagert sein, die fest gegen die Innenseite der Montagewand 21 geschraubt werden kann, so dass der Leuchtvorsatz 15 lagesicher montiert ist.As can be seen from the drawing, the indicator light can be switched on Have lighting attachment 15, the part protruding from the cover 2 of the light stick 5 covered. The light attachment 15 has a light stick 5 tubular housing 16 and a light cap 17 which is attached to the insert housing 16 by means of a front ring 18. Between an edge 19 of the light cap 17 and the insert housing 16 there is a sealing ring 20. For fastening the light attachment 15 on a mounting wall 21 can be a threaded nut on the insert housing 16 22 be rotatably mounted, which is fixed against the inside of the mounting wall 21 can be screwed so that the lighting attachment 15 is secure is mounted.

Die Leuchtkappe 17 ist aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material hergestellt und überdeckt die Leuchtkuppe 9 in einem geringen Abstand. Die der Leuchtkuppe 9 zugewandte Innenseite 23 der Leuchtkappe 17 kann ebenfalls eine feinperlige Struktur haben. Diese Struktur kann so ausgeführt sein, dass eine Vielzahl kleiner perlförmiger Erhebungen und eine Vielzahl kleiner Mulden abwechselnd unmittelbar nebeneinander liegen, so dass die Innenseite 23 fein aufgeraut ist. Diese feingeraute Innenseitenstruktur kann im wesentlichen gleich der feingerauten Innenflächenstruktur der Leuchtkuppe 9 ausgeführt und nach dem gleichen Produktionsverfahren hergestellt sein. Zudem kann es auch günstig sein, die Leuchtkappe 17 diffus milchig oder milchig/farbig fluoreszierend einzufärben, um die Lichtdurchlässigkeit zu reduzieren, wodurch ein Eigenleuchten der Leuchtkappe 17 sowie eine gleichmäßige und noch intensivere Ausleuchtung erzielt wird. Eine optimal helle und gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung kann zudem dadurch erreicht werden, dass sowohl die Leuchtkuppe 9 des Leuchtstabs 5 als auch die Leuchtkappe 17 des Leuchtvorsatzes 15 entsprechend der Licht- bzw. Farbwellenlänge der Leuchtdiode 12 eingefärbt sind.The light cap 17 is made of a translucent material and covers the light cap 9 at a short distance. That of the light cap 9 facing inside 23 of the light cap 17 can also be a have a fine pearly structure. This structure can be designed so that a Large number of small pearl-shaped elevations and a large number of small troughs alternately lie directly next to each other so that the inside 23 is fine is roughened. This fine-roughened inside structure can essentially executed like the fine-roughened inner surface structure of the light cap 9 and manufactured using the same production process. It can also also be cheap, the light cap 17 diffuse milky or milky / colored colored fluorescent to reduce light transmission, whereby a self-illuminating of the light cap 17 and a uniform and even more intense illumination is achieved. An optimally bright and even Illumination can also be achieved by both the Light cap 9 of the light stick 5 as well as the light cap 17 of the light attachment 15 corresponding to the light or color wavelength of the light emitting diode 12 are colored.
