Description
Blinklichter üblicher Art bestehen aus einer Glühbirne und einem Reflektor, die hinter einer roten oder durchsichtigen Abdeckscheibe angebracht sind.Common flashing lights consist of a light bulb and a reflector mounted behind a red or transparent cover.
Je höher die Blinklichter am Fahrzeug angebracht sind, desto sicherer ist es, dass sie von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern rechtzeitig gesehen werden. Das Gehäuse für die Blinklichter ist ziemlich gross. Der Reflektor nimmt am meisten Platz und ist teilweise innen am Fahrzeug-Gepäckraum angebracht. Die Fahrzeugkarosserie ist an der Stelle, wo das Bremslicht, Blinklicht und das Rücklicht kommt, meistens mit einer Einbau-Öffnung ausgestattet. Diese Einbau-Öffnung ist eine Schwachstelle der Karosserie und mit viele Problemen verbunden. Das Rücklicht, Bremslicht, Blinker und Rückwärtslicht müssen abgedichtet an die Karosserie angebracht werden, sonst dringt Wasser (bei Regen oder Schnee) in den Gepäckraum ein. Das Gepäckvolumen wird durch den Reflektor ein wenig verkleinert. Diese Lichter bringen einige unnötige kg auf die Wage.The higher the indicator lights are mounted on the vehicle, the more certain it is that other road users will see them in time. The housing for the indicator lights is quite large. The reflector takes up the most space and is sometimes mounted inside the vehicle's luggage compartment. The vehicle body is usually equipped with an installation opening where the brake light, indicator light and tail light are. This installation opening is a weak point in the body and is associated with many problems. The tail light, brake light, indicator and reversing light must be attached to the body in a sealed manner, otherwise water (in rain or snow) will penetrate into the luggage compartment. The luggage volume is reduced slightly by the reflector. These lights add a few unnecessary kg to the scales.
Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 20 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde ein Blinklicht-System für Fahrzeuge zu schaffen dass ohne voluminösen Reflektor und Glühbirne auskommt und trotzdem sehr gut sichtbar ist.The invention specified in claims 1 to 20 is based on the problem of creating a flashing light system for vehicles that does not require a bulky reflector or light bulb and is nevertheless very clearly visible.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 20 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 1 to 20.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein Blinklicht-System für Fahrzeuge geschaffen, dass ein sehr kleines Volumen hat, sehr einfach und kostengünstig gebautThe invention creates a flashing light system for vehicles that has a very small volume, is very simple and inexpensive to build

Neu ist bei dieser Erfindung, dass das Licht parallel zu der Lichtabdeck-Scheiben-Fläche bis zum Austrittspunkt / Fläche fliesst. Das bringt ein Vorteil mit sich, dass der Lichtstrahler platzsparend seitlich angebracht werden kann. Der Lichtstrahlrichtung ist quer zum Fahrzeug in der Lichtabdeckscheibe. Nach aussen kommt das Licht mit der Strahlrichtung längs zum Fahrzeug.What is new about this invention is that the light flows parallel to the light cover surface to the exit point/surface. This has the advantage that the light emitter can be attached to the side to save space. The light beam direction is perpendicular to the vehicle in the light cover. The light comes out with the beam direction lengthways to the vehicle.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der Fig. 1 bis 5 erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. They show:

Fig. 6 eine Variante mit Lichtleiter.Fig. 6 a variant with light guide.
Das System besteht aus einem Lichtstrahler, der eine Laser-Diode oder eine herkömmliche intensiv leuchtende Leuchtdiode sein kann. Eine Leuchtdiode ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend. Es sind mehrere davon notwendig z.B. 30 - 200 stück.The system consists of a light emitter, which can be a laser diode or a conventional, intensely luminous light-emitting diode. One light-emitting diode is usually not sufficient. Several of them are necessary, e.g. 30 - 200 pieces.
Das Arbeitsprinzip dieses Blinklicht ist sehr einfach: Ein Lichtstrahler 1 bzw. eine gelbe Laser-Diode strahlt einen gebündelten Lichtstrahl 2, die direkt in die Abdeckscheibe 3 an einem Rand 4 eindringt. Die Lichtstrahlen werden durch das Glas- oder Kunststoff-Material wie bei einem Lichtleiter geleitet. Die Bahn der Lichtstrahlen wird durch den Totalen-Reflektions-Effekt in der Abdeckscheibe gehalten. Erst wenn der Lichtstrahl einen Bereich 5 in der Abdeckcheibe trifft, die eine Lichtbrechung oder eine Lichtreflektion unter einem bestimmten Winkel-Bereich verursacht, dann verlassen die Lichtstrahlen die Glasscheibe. Dieser Punkt verhält sich als wäre er die Lichtquelle. Der Lichtbrecher kann aus mehreren parallel angeordneten „Schnittlinien" 6 bestehen und wird an die Stelle platziert, die für Blinklichter vorgesehen ist. Die einfallenden Lichtstrahlen sollen aufThe working principle of this flashing light is very simple: A light emitter 1 or a yellow laser diode emits a bundled light beam 2, which penetrates directly into the cover plate 3 at an edge 4. The light rays are guided through the glass or plastic material like a light guide. The path of the light rays is held in the cover plate by the total reflection effect. Only when the light beam hits an area 5 in the cover plate that causes light refraction or light reflection at a certain angle do the light rays leave the glass plate. This point behaves as if it were the light source. The light breaker can consist of several parallel "cutting lines" 6 and is placed in the place intended for the flashing lights. The incident light rays should be on
diese Linien unter einem Winkel zwischen 20 - 170° erfolgen. Wenn das Licht aus dem Laserstrahler oder den Leuchtdioden auf die Linien einfällt, leuchten sie sehr intensiv. Diese Linien oder Mikrokratzer 7 oder Einkerbungen sollen stufenartig lichteinfallend auf eine Fläche im inneren Struktur der Scheibe angeordnet werden und das auf die verschiedene Tiefen-Struktur der Scheibe, um das Licht gleichmässig auf die Scheibe zu verteilen.these lines are at an angle of between 20 - 170°. When the light from the laser or the LEDs falls on the lines, they glow very intensely. These lines or micro-scratches 7 or notches should be arranged in stages so that the light falls on a surface in the inner structure of the pane and on the different depth structures of the pane in order to distribute the light evenly across the pane.
Eine Variante weist mehrere dünne Silberstreifen 8 oder Linien an bestimmten Stellen, die in der Abdeckscheibe auf die Stellen integriert sind, die die Blinklichter darstellen sollen. Sie reflektieren das Licht aus dem Lichtstrahler auf die Fahrbahn. Feine Luftblasen in der Abdeckscheibe können auch für diesem Zweck benutzt werden. Der Lichtstrahler (Laser oder LED) kann direkt an die Abdeckscheibe integriert werden.One variant has several thin silver stripes 8 or lines at certain points, which are integrated into the cover plate at the points that are supposed to represent the flashing lights. They reflect the light from the light emitter onto the road. Fine air bubbles in the cover plate can also be used for this purpose. The light emitter (laser or LED) can be integrated directly into the cover plate.
Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Variante mit Glassfasern 9. Die Glasfasern sind entlang der Scheibe angeordnet. Sie können auch in die Scheibe integriert werden. Ein Schutzmantel kann sie vor Lichtverlust schützen. An einem Ende kommt das Licht aus dem Lichtstrahler rein. Am anderen Ende tritt das Licht aus. Das Ende kann mit einer Spiegel-Fläche 10 ausgestattet werden oder das Austritts-Ende ist einfach so gebogen, das das Licht nach aussen abgegeben wird.Fig. 6 shows a variant with glass fibers 9. The glass fibers are arranged along the pane. They can also be integrated into the pane. A protective cover can protect them from light loss. The light from the light emitter comes in at one end. The light exits at the other end. The end can be equipped with a mirror surface 10 or the exit end is simply bent so that the light is emitted outwards.
