Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lichtleiste.The invention relates to a light bar.
Bei der Beleuchtung von Gegenständen, beispielsweise zum Zweck der Markierung oder zur Kenntlichmachung von besonderen Gefahrensituationen, ist es allgemein bekannt, Leuchtmittel in Form von Glühbirnen oder- im verkleinerten Maßstab - auch Leuchtdioden einzusetzen.When illuminating objects, for example for the purpose of marking or to indicate particularly dangerous situations, it is generally known to use lighting sources in the form of light bulbs or - on a smaller scale - light-emitting diodes.
Nachteilig hierbei ist immer der relativ hohe Stromverbrauch oder aber die vergleichsweise geringe Leuchtkraft dieser Leuchtmittel.The disadvantage here is always the relatively high power consumption or the comparatively low luminosity of these lamps.
Werden diese beispielsweise in oder an Fahrzeugen eingesetzt und bei nicht eingeschaltetem Motor betrieben, wo also keinen Energieerzeugung durch die Lichtmaschine erfolgt, sondern allein die Energie der Batterie ausgenutzt wird, so können bei längerem Betrieb - Energieprobleme auftreten.If these are used, for example, in or on vehicles and operated when the engine is not running, i.e. where no energy is generated by the alternator but only the energy from the battery is used, energy problems can arise during longer periods of operation.
Denkt man beispielsweise an die Sicherung eines abgestellten Fahrzeuges, eines Lastwagenhängers, so wird klar, dass diese auch über Nacht oder sogar mehrere Nächte notwendig sein kann, somit ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Energieverbrauch die Folge ist.If you think, for example, about securing a parked vehicle or a truck trailer, it becomes clear that this may be necessary overnight or even for several nights, which results in a not inconsiderable energy consumption.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Möglichkeit zur Markierung oder Kennzeichnung von z.B. Fahrzeugen zu schaffen, die bei vergleichsweise niedrigem Energiebedarf dennoch einen hohen Grad der Leuchtkraft erreicht und damit der Sicherung bzw. Kenntlichmachung dienen kann.The object of the invention is therefore to create a possibility for marking or identifying, for example, vehicles, which nevertheless achieves a high degree of luminosity with a comparatively low energy requirement and can thus serve to secure or identify the vehicle.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch eine Lichtleiste, bestehend aus einem Metall- oder Kunststoffprofil, das eine sich in deren Längsrichtung erstreckende Nut aufweist, in die eine sich über die axiale Länge des Profiis erstreckende Lichtschiene einlegbar ist, deren Leuchtkörper eine phosphatisierte Folie oder Leuchtschnur ist, die bei Anlegung eines elektrischen Stromes luminesziert.This object is achieved according to the invention by a light strip consisting of a metal or plastic profile which has a groove extending in its longitudinal direction into which a light rail extending over the axial length of the profile can be inserted, the luminous body of which is a phosphated film or luminous cord which luminesces when an electric current is applied.
Der Vorteil dieser Lösung ist einerseits die relativ hohe Leuchtkraft und andererseits der dabei notwendige sehr geringe Energieverbrauch.The advantage of this solution is, on the one hand, the relatively high luminosity and, on the other hand, the very low energy consumption required.
Die Leuchtwirkung kann noch verstärkt werden, wenn die Lichtschiene ein linsenartige, insbesondere konvexe Oberfläche aufweist.The lighting effect can be further enhanced if the light rail has a lens-like, particularly convex, surface.
Der Energieverbrauch lässt sich weiter verringern, wenn die Lichtschiene nicht „ständig,, zum Leuchten angeregt wird, sondern eine Frequenzsteuerung erfolgen kann. Wird die Frequenz hoch eingestellt, so erscheint das Blinken der Lichtschiene für das menschliche Auge wie ein kontinuierliches Licht, allerdings mit dem Vorteil einer Energieverringerung verbunden.Energy consumption can be further reduced if the light rail is not "constantly" stimulated to glow, but if the frequency can be controlled. If the frequency is set high, the flashing of the light rail appears to the human eye as a continuous light, but with the advantage of reduced energy consumption.
Bei besonderen Situationen kann dann aber die Frequenz auch niedriger eingestellt werden, so dass tatsächlich ein Blinken zu sehen ist.In special situations, however, the frequency can be set lower so that a flashing can actually be seen.
Der sehr geringe Stromverbrauch der erfindungsgemäßen Lichtleiste macht es möglich, dass diese an eine von einem Fahrzeug unabhängige Batterie ( als Klein-Batterie bezeichnet) angeschlossen werden kann. Damit ist nicht nur die Mobilität der Lichtschiene gegeben, sondern auch die Ersetzbarkeit an Einrichtungen oder Fahrzeugen, die über keine eigene Energiequelle verfügen.The very low power consumption of the light bar according to the invention makes it possible for it to be connected to a battery that is independent of a vehicle (known as a small battery). This not only ensures the mobility of the light bar, but also the ability to replace it in facilities or vehicles that do not have their own energy source.
Auf diese Weise lassen sich beispielsweise abgesteifte Anhänger einfach kenntlich machen oder auch abgestellte Gegenstände wie Container, Müllbehälter, Gerätschaften für Straßenverkehrsdienste usw..In this way, for example, braced trailers can be easily identified, as well as parked objects such as containers, garbage bins, equipment for road traffic services, etc.
Es sei noch erwähnt, dass der Begriff Lichtleiste nicht beschränkt ist auf eine gerade Leiste, sondern hierunter sollen ganz allgemein Gegenstände verstanden werden, deren Längserstreckung größer ist als deren Quererstreckung.It should also be mentioned that the term light bar is not limited to a straight bar, but should be understood in general to refer to objects whose longitudinal extension is greater than their transverse extension.
Hierzu gehört auch beispielsweise die Verwendung als Umrandung der Halterung von Fahrzeugnummernschildern.This also includes, for example, the use as a border for the holder of vehicle license plates.
In der Zeichnung ist eine derartige Lichtleiste skizziert, wobei diese aus dem Profil 1 aus Metall oder Kunststoff besteht, in das eine Lichtschiene 2 eingesetzt ist. An diese ist - wie angedeutet- eine Stromquelle anschließbar, die die - nicht dargestellte - phosphatisierte Folie oder Leuchtschnur zu lumineszieren bringt.In the drawing, such a light bar is sketched, whereby it consists of the profile 1 made of metal or plastic, into which a light rail 2 is inserted. As indicated, a power source can be connected to this, which causes the phosphated film or light cord (not shown) to luminesce.
