Abstract

The lighting system for a bathtub or shower cubicle has an array of LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) or SMD's (Surface Mounted Devices). The lights may be mounted in the corners of the shower cubicle partitions and may be fed with power from a burner or fuel cell using hydrogen and with fluid a electrolyte held in a ceramic substrate. The system includes a hybrid energy store and a current control circuit.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Badeinrichtung, im Wesentlichen bestehend aus Glas oder Kunststoff, die mindestens mit einem Leuchtmittel ausgestattet ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The The invention relates to a bathroom device, consisting essentially Made of glass or plastic with at least one lamp is equipped, according to the generic term of claim 1.

Energieversorgungen für verschiedene Einrichtungen sind hinlänglich bekannt. Solche Energieversorgungen, z. B. in Form von Batterien, benötigen in aller Regel viel Platz und können auch nur eine begrenzte Energiemenge speichern, so dass sie in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen aufgeladen oder ausgetauscht werden müssen.power supplies for different Facilities are adequate known. Such power supplies, e.g. B. in the form of batteries, need in usually a lot of space and can also store only a limited amount of energy so that it is charged at regular intervals or need to be replaced.

In der DE 102 49 535 B3 ist eine Duschkabine beschrieben, in der das Licht von LED-Leuchten über die Stirnkanten der Glasscheiben in die Glasscheiben eintritt.In the DE 102 49 535 B3 describes a shower cabin in which the light from LED lights enters the glass panes via the front edges of the glass panes.

Die DE 202 10 261 U1 beschreibt eine Duschkabine mit einer Hinterleuchtung der Paneelen mittels LED- oder SMD-Leuchten, die aus einem Netzteil oder einer Batterie mit Strom versorgt werden.The DE 202 10 261 U1 describes a shower cabin with backlighting of the panels by means of LED or SMD lights, which are powered by a power supply unit or a battery.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Energieversorgung für eine Badeinrichtung zu schaffen, die nahezu unbegrenzt Energie zur Verfügung stellen kann und autark arbeitet.It is therefore an object of the present invention, an energy supply for one To create bathroom furnishings that provide almost unlimited energy can and works independently.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This Object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1 solved. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Zur Energieversorgung einer Badeinrichtung wird eine Brennstoffzelle vorgeschlagen. In unseren Breiten lässt sich die auf die Erde strahlende Sonnenenergie nicht intensiv genug zur Stromerzeugung nutzen, da die Frage zur Speicherung der Energie nicht ausreichend geklärt ist. Eine der möglichen Antworten darauf ist die Brennstoffzelle mit einer Energieversorgung durch Wasserstoff. Brennstoffzellen können die Energie, die im Wasserstoff enthalten ist, direkt in Elektroenergie umwandeln. Die Schlüsseltechniken einer solchen Energiewirtschaft sind die Wandler von chemischer in elektrische Energie. Bei der Brennstoffzelle sind es elektrochemische Zellen, die wie eine Batterie aufgebaut sind, mit Anode, Elektrolyt und Kathode. Aber bei der Brennstoffzelle werden nicht die Elektroden elektrochemisch umgesetzt, sondern Gase, die miteinander reagieren: vor allem Sauerstoff und Wasserstoff. Die Gase werden durch die porösen Elektroden geführt und bilden mit ihnen und dem Elektrolyt eine Grenzfläche, an der die chemische Energie der reagierenden Gase direkt in Elektrizität umgesetzt wird.to A fuel cell becomes the energy supply for a bathroom facility proposed. In our latitudes you can see the radiant on the earth Do not use solar energy intensely enough to generate electricity, because the question of storing energy has not been sufficiently clarified. One of the possible The answer is the fuel cell with an energy supply through hydrogen. Fuel cells can use the energy contained in hydrogen is included, convert directly into electrical energy. The key techniques In such an energy industry, the converters of chemical in electrical energy. The fuel cells are electrochemical Cells that are built like a battery, with anode, electrolyte and cathode. But with the fuel cell, the electrodes are not implemented electrochemically, but gases that react with each other: especially oxygen and hydrogen. The gases are generated by the porous Electrodes led and form an interface with them and the electrolyte which directly converts the chemical energy of the reacting gases into electricity becomes.

Dadurch, dass die Energieversorgung als Brennstoffzelle ausgebildet ist, kann nahezu unbegrenzt Energie bereitgestellt werden. Dies ist insbesondere in Ländern der Dritten Welt, beim nachträglichen Einbau, an Stellen ohne Stromanschluss und in mobilen Fahrzeugen, wie Wohnwagen, von Vorteil. Aber auch als Akku für Notsituationen ist die Brennstoffzelle vorteilhaft einsetzbar, da sie eine lange Lebensdauer hat.Thereby, that the energy supply is designed as a fuel cell, energy can be provided almost unlimited. This is particularly so in countrys the third world, with the subsequent Installation, in places without a power connection and in mobile vehicles, like caravans, an advantage. But the fuel cell is also a battery for emergency situations can be used advantageously because it has a long service life.

Badeinrichtungen im Sinne diese Erfindung sind insbesondere Duschabtrennungen, Duschtassen, Badewannen, Waschbecken oder auch Badmöbel, die mindestens ein Leuchtmittel enthalten. Bei den Leuchtmitteln kann es sich um entsprechende mit niedriger Energie zu versorgende Lampen handeln oder aber auch um LED's.bathroom furnishings In the sense of this invention, shower partitions, shower trays, Bathtubs, sinks or bathroom furniture that have at least one illuminant contain. The bulbs can be corresponding with lamps to be supplied with low energy or else LED's.

Die zuvor bereits beschriebene Brandstoffzelle kann dabei innerhalb der Duschabtrennung oder der Badewanne oder der Duschtasse oder dem Waschbecken oder dem Badmöbel eingebaut sein. Sie kann aber auch innerhalb von Anbauteilen oder bestimmten Bauteilen integriert werden. Ins besondere bei Duschabtrennungen mit verschwenkbaren oder verschiebbaren Flügeln ist so eine Energieversorgung, so sie innerhalb der verschiebbaren bzw. verschwenkbaren Flügel eingebaut wird, sehr von Nutzen.The previously described fuel cell can be within the shower partition or the bathtub or the shower tray or the sink or the bathroom furniture be installed. But it can also within attachments or certain Components are integrated. Especially with shower enclosures with pivoting or sliding wings is such an energy supply, so they are installed inside the sliding or swiveling wing will be very useful.

Als besonders wirkungsvoll haben sich Elektrolyse-Brennstoffzellen-Systeme auf Niedertemperaturbasis ausgezeichnet. Mit dieser Technik kann Wasserstoff erzeugt, gespeichert und wieder umgewandelt werden. Verwendet werden dabei so genannte immobilisierte Elektrolyte, die flüssig sind und in einer porösen Keramik fixiert sind.As Electrolysis fuel cell systems have been particularly effective Awarded on a low temperature basis. With this technique, hydrogen can generated, saved and converted again. Be used so-called immobilized electrolytes that are liquid and in a porous Ceramics are fixed.

So kann auch eine Brennstoffzelle verwendet werden, die in mobilen Einrichtungen eingebaut ist. Als Brennstoff ist Wasserstoff geeignet. Dabei wird der Wasserstoff in einer zusätzlichen Metallpatrone, einem so genannten Hybridspeicher, zugeführt.So a fuel cell can also be used in mobile Facilities is installed. Hydrogen is suitable as a fuel. The hydrogen is in an additional metal cartridge, one so-called hybrid storage.

Um die Energieversorgung in Badeinrichtungen gut unterzubringen, können diese beispielsweise mit einem Hybridspeicher, einem Gleichrichter und einer Steuerung in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordnet werden.Around They can easily accommodate the energy supply in bathroom facilities for example with a hybrid memory, a rectifier and one Control can be arranged in a row one behind the other.
