Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Notleuchte, die ein Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands von in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren aufweist, wobei die Batterien oder Akkumulatoren zur Notfallversorgung von in der Notleuchte angeordneten Lichtquellen vorgesehen sind.The present invention relates to an emergency luminaire having a luminous means for indicating the state of charge of batteries or accumulators arranged in the emergency luminaire, the batteries or accumulators being provided for the emergency supply of light sources arranged in the emergency luminaire.

Eine Notleuchte, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, weist zumeist auf einen Rettungs- bzw. Fluchtweg hin, weshalb derartige Leuchten häufig auch als Hinweis-, Fluchtweg- oder Rettungswegleuchten bezeichnet werden. Bei diesen ist es nun normalerweise vorgesehen, dass in der Notleuchte Batterien oder Akkumulatoren angeordnet sind, die im Notfall zur Energieversorgung der Leuchte verwendet werden können. So ist es bei der in Figur 1 gezeigten Leuchte 11 beispielsweise bei einem Stromausfall weiterhin erforderlich, dass die Piktogramme, die auf einen Flucht- bzw. Rettungsweg hinweisen, nach wie vor leuchten, um möglicherweise flüchtenden Personen die Rettung bzw. Flucht so einfach wie möglich zu gestalten.An emergency light, as in FIG. 1 shown, usually points to a rescue or escape route, which is why such lights are often referred to as notice, escape route or Rettungswegleuchten. In these, it is now normally provided that in the emergency light batteries or accumulators are arranged, which can be used in an emergency to power the lamp. So it is at the in FIG. 1 shown lamp 11, for example, during a power outage still required that the icons that point to an escape or rescue route, continue to shine to make escape or escape as easy as possible for people who may flee.

Dementsprechend ist es erforderlich, dass die in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren ständig einen ausreichend hohen Ladezustand aufweisen, um entsprechend in der Notleuchte angeordnete Lichtquellen mit Energie versorgen zu können. Hierfür ist bei derartigen Notleuchten zumeist vorgesehen, dass in regelmäßigen Abständen, beispielsweise von einem Wartungspersonal geprüft wird, ob die Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren noch einen ausreichenden Ladezustand aufweisen. Für diesen Zweck ist bei den bisher bekannten Notleuchten meistens eine LED vorgesehen, die den entsprechenden Status bzw. Ladezustand der Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren signalisiert.Accordingly, it is necessary that the batteries or accumulators arranged in the emergency luminaire constantly have a sufficiently high state of charge in order to be able to supply energy to correspondingly arranged light sources in the emergency luminaire. For this purpose, in such emergency lights usually provided that is checked at regular intervals, for example, by a maintenance staff, whether the batteries or accumulators still have a sufficient state of charge. For this purpose, an LED is usually provided in the previously known emergency lights, which signals the corresponding status or state of charge of the batteries or accumulators.

Eine derartige Status-LED, die den Ladezustand entsprechend anzeigt, wird bisher, wie in Figur 2 beispielhaft dargestellt, innerhalb einer lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung möglichst an dieser lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung angeordnet, damit die LED auch von außen gut erkannt werden kann, wodurch ein Öffnen der Notleuchte nicht erforderlich ist. Die in Figur 2 gezeigte Notleuchte 21 entspricht nun im Wesentlichen der in Figur 1 gezeigten Notleuchte 11, wobei jedoch anzumerken ist, dass die in Figur 2 gezeigte Notleuchte 21 etwas anders dimensioniert ist. Im Einzelnen ist bei der in Figur 2 gezeigten Notleuchte 21 vorgesehen, dass mit Hilfe eines ebenfalls in Figur 2 gezeigten Bügels 27 eine Leuchtdiode 22 möglichst nah bzw. direkt an einer lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 23 angeordnet ist, wobei der Bügel 27 derart ausgestaltet ist, dass dieser an den Lichtquellen 26, die zur Beleuchtung der Piktogramme der Notleuchte 21 vorgesehen sind, angebracht werden kann. Diese möglichst nahe bzw. direkte Platzierung der Leuchtdiode 22 an der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 23 ist nun erforderlich, damit, wie bereits angeführt, von einem Nutzer ohne Demontieren der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 23 der Ladezustand der Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren an der Leuchtdiode 22 erkannt werden kann. Die Dokumente DE29809284U und DE10123006A sind als als nächstliegender Stand der Technik angesehen. Durch diese notwendige Anordnung der Leuchtdiode möglichst nah bzw. direkt an der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung ist jedoch eine möglichst flexible Positionierung der Leuchtdiode nicht so ohne Weiteres möglich, wodurch eine beliebige Umgestaltung beispielsweise der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung deutlich erschwert wird.Such a status LED, which indicates the state of charge accordingly, so far, as in FIG. 2 exemplified within a translucent cover as possible arranged on this translucent cover, so that the LED can be well recognized from the outside, thereby not opening the emergency light is required. In the FIG. 2 shown emergency light 21 now essentially corresponds to in FIG. 1 shown emergency light 11, but it should be noted that in FIG. 2 shown emergency light 21 is dimensioned slightly different. Specifically, at the in FIG. 2 shown emergency light 21 provided that with the help of a likewise in FIG. 2 a light-emitting diode 22 as close as possible or directly to a translucent cover 23 is arranged, wherein the bracket 27 is configured such that it can be attached to the light sources 26 which are provided to illuminate the pictograms of the emergency 21. This as close as possible or direct placement of the light emitting diode 22 on the translucent cover 23 is now required so that, as already stated, can be detected by a user without disassembling the translucent cover 23, the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators on the light emitting diode 22. The documents DE29809284U and DE10123006A are considered to be the closest prior art. As a result of this necessary arrangement of the light-emitting diode as close as possible or directly to the translucent cover, however, the most flexible possible positioning of the light-emitting diode is not readily possible, as a result of which any transformation of, for example, the light-permeable cover is made considerably more difficult.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt dementsprechend die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Notleuchte zu entwickeln, die ein Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands aufweist, das von außen ohne Demontage von Teilen gut sichtbar ist und gleichzeitig beispielsweise die Umgestaltung der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung möglichst einfach erlaubt.The present invention is therefore based on the object to develop an emergency light having a lighting means for displaying the state of charge, which is easily visible from the outside without disassembly of parts and at the same time allows, for example, the transformation of the translucent cover as simple as possible.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Notleuchte gemäß Anspruch 1 und eine Notleuchte gemäß Anspruch 6 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by an emergency luminaire according to claim 1 and an emergency luminaire according to claim 6. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist als erste Ausführungsform eine Notleuchte vorgesehen, die eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung, ein Leuchtengehäuse und ein Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands von in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren aufweist, wobei die in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren mindestens eine in der Notleuchte angeordnete Lichtquelle im Notfall mit Energie versorgen können. Die lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung ist hierbei nun an dem Leuchtengehäuse angeordnet, wobei durch die lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung Licht von der mindestens einen in der Notleuchte angeordneten Lichtquelle nach außen abgegeben werden kann. In dem Leuchtengehäuse sind zusätzlich noch Mittel zur Steuerung und Versorgung der Notleuchte angeordnet. Um nun beispielsweise eine möglichst einfache Umgestaltung der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung zu ermöglichen, ist vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands der Batterien oder Akkumulatoren innerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses angeordnet ist und um trotzdem eine gute Sichtbarkeit von außen zu ermöglichen, dass das Leuchtengehäuse in dem Bereich, in dem das Licht des Leuchtmittels abgestrahlt wird, einen im Vergleich zum restlichen Gehäuse dünneren Materialquerschnitt aufweist, sodass das von dem Leuchtmittel abgegebene Licht von außerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses sichtbar ist.According to the invention as the first embodiment, an emergency light is provided which has a translucent cover, a lamp housing and a lighting means for displaying the state of charge of arranged in the emergency light batteries or accumulators, wherein arranged in the emergency light batteries or accumulators at least one arranged in the emergency light source Can provide emergency energy. The translucent cover is now on the Luminaire housing arranged, with the light-permeable cover light from the at least one light source arranged in the light source can be discharged to the outside. In the luminaire housing means for controlling and supplying the emergency light are additionally arranged. In order to make it possible, for example, to simplify the simplest possible transformation of the translucent cover, it is provided that the illuminant is arranged to indicate the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators within the luminaire housing, and nevertheless to permit good visibility from the outside, that the luminaire housing in the region, in which the light of the luminous means is radiated, has a thinner in comparison to the rest of the housing material cross-section, so that the light emitted from the lamp light from outside the luminaire housing is visible.

Durch diese besondere Ausgestaltung des Leuchtengehäuses ist es nunmehr möglich, dass das Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands der Batterien oder Akkumulatoren innerhalb des normalerweise eher nicht lichtdurchlässigen Leuchtengehäuses angeordnet werden kann.This particular embodiment of the lamp housing, it is now possible that the lighting means for displaying the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators can be arranged within the normally not translucent light housing.

Vorzugsweise ist hier nun vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtengehäuse aus Kunststoff besteht und das Leuchtmittel als LED ausgebildet ist. Bei einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltungsvariante dieser Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtmittel Licht stark gebündelt abgeben kann und von dem Leuchtengehäuse beabstandet angeordnet ist.Preferably, it is now provided here that the luminaire housing consists of plastic and the luminous means is designed as an LED. In a further preferred embodiment variant of this embodiment, it is provided that the light source can emit light concentrated bundled and is arranged at a distance from the lamp housing.

Bei der zweiten Ausführungsform ist erfindungsgemäß eine Notleuchte vorgesehen, die eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung und ein Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Ladezustands von in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren aufweist, wobei die in der Notleuchte angeordneten Batterien oder Akkumulatoren mindestens eine in der Notleuchte angeordnete Lichtquelle im Notfall mit Energie versorgen können. Durch die lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung kann hierbei Licht von der mindestens einen in der Notleuchte angeordneten Lichtquelle nach außen abgegeben werden. Um nun wiederum eine möglichst einfache Umgestaltung, beispielsweise der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung zu ermöglichen, ist bei dieser Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtmittel Licht stark gebündelt abgeben kann und dass das Leuchtmittel innerhalb der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung von der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung beabstandet angeordnet ist.In the second embodiment according to the invention an emergency light is provided which has a translucent cover and a lighting means for displaying the state of charge of arranged in the emergency light batteries or accumulators, wherein arranged in the emergency light batteries or accumulators with at least one arranged in the emergency light source in an emergency Provide energy. In this case, light from the at least one light source arranged in the emergency light can be emitted to the outside through the light-permeable cover. In order to enable the simplest possible transformation, for example the translucent cover, it is provided in this embodiment that the luminous means can emit light bundled in a concentrated manner and that the Illuminant is disposed within the translucent cover spaced from the translucent cover.

Diese beabstandete Anordnung des Leuchtmittels ist nunmehr möglich, da das Leuchtmittel Licht stark gebündelt abgeben kann, wodurch auch bei einer beabstandeten Positionierung innerhalb der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung ein Nutzer nach wie vor von außerhalb der Notleuchte den Ladezustand der Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren anhand des Leuchtmittels erkennen kann.This spaced arrangement of the bulb is now possible because the bulb can emit light bundled strong, which even with a spaced positioning within the translucent cover, a user can still see from outside the emergency light the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators based on the light source.

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen kann vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtmittel als Laser, beispielsweise Laserpointer, ausgebildet ist. Alternativ könnte das Leuchtmittel auch als besonders starke LED, die vorzugsweise eine fokussierende Optik aufweist, ausgebildet sein.In both embodiments, it can preferably be provided that the luminous means is designed as a laser, for example a laser pointer. Alternatively, the luminous means could also be designed as a particularly strong LED, which preferably has a focusing optics.

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen ist nun eine einfache Umgestaltung, beispielsweise der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung möglich, da das zur Anzeige des Ladezustands der Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren vorgesehene Leuchtmittel nun nicht mehr direkt an der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung angeordnet ist.In both embodiments, a simple conversion, such as the translucent cover is now possible because the intended to display the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators bulbs is no longer located directly on the translucent cover.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und den beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

In den Figuren 1 und 2 werden Notleuchten gezeigt, die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind und bereits weiter oben erläutert wurden, weshalb hier nicht weiter auf die Figuren 1 und 2 eingegangen wird.In the Figures 1 and 2 Emergency lights are shown, which are known from the prior art and have already been discussed above, which is why not further on the Figures 1 and 2 will be received.

In Figur 3 ist nun im Querschnitt eine Notleuchte 31 gemäß der zweiten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung gezeigt, die größtenteils der Notleuchte 21 aus Figur 2 entspricht. Im Gegensatz zur in Figur 2 gezeigten Notleuchte 21 weist die in Figur 3 gezeigte Notleuchte 31 nunmehr keinen Bügel 27 auf, an dem die Leuchtdiode 22 angebracht ist und durch diesen direkt an der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 23 positioniert wird. Bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten Notleuchte 31 ist nun vorgesehen, dass als Leuchtmittel 32 zur Anzeige des Ladezustands der Batterien bzw. Akkumulatoren ein Laser oder eine besonders starke LED vorzugsweise mit einer fokussierenden Optik eingesetzt wird, wodurch es aufgrund des gebündelten Lichts nunmehr möglich ist, das Leuchtmittel 32 zur Anzeige des Ladezustands der Batterien oder Akkumulatoren beabstandet von der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 33 anzuordnen. Hierdurch kann dann eine besonders flexible Positionierung des Leuchtmittels 32 innerhalb der Notleuchte 31 bzw. der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 33 erfolgen, wodurch beispielsweise eine Umgestaltung der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 33 deutlich einfacher wird.In FIG. 3 is now shown in cross-section an emergency light 31 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the majority of the emergency 21 from FIG. 2 equivalent. Unlike in FIG. 2 shown emergency light 21 has the in FIG. 3 shown emergency light 31 now no bracket 27 on which the light-emitting diode 22 is mounted and is positioned by this directly to the translucent cover 23. At the in FIG. 3 shown emergency light 31 is now provided that as a means of illumination 32 for displaying the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators, a laser or a particularly strong LED is preferably used with a focusing optics, which is now possible due to the bundled light, the bulb 32 for display the charge state of the batteries or accumulators spaced from the translucent cover 33 to arrange. In this way, a particularly flexible positioning of the luminous means 32 within the emergency luminaire 31 or the translucent cover 33 can take place, whereby, for example, a redesign of the translucent cover 33 is significantly easier.

In Figur 4 ist nun eine erfindungsgemäße Notleuchte 41 gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung gezeigt. Diese entspricht im Wesentlichen der bereits in Figur 1 gezeigten Notleuchte 11. Im Einzelnen weist die Notleuchte 41 in Figur 4 eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung 43 und ein Leuchtengehäuse 44 auf. Im Gegensatz zur Notleuchte 11 aus Figur 1, ist bei der in Figur 4 gezeigten Notleuchte 41 nunmehr aber noch vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtengehäuse 44 einen Bereich 45 aufweist, der einen im Vergleich zum restlichen Gehäuse dünneren Materialquerschnitt hat bzw. bei dem der Materialquerschnitt des Gehäuses in diesem Bereich 45 geschwächt ist.In FIG. 4 Now, an emergency light according to the invention 41 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. This corresponds essentially to that already in FIG. 1 In detail, the emergency light 41 in FIG. 4 a translucent cover 43 and a lamp housing 44. In contrast to the emergency light 11 off FIG. 1 , is at the in FIG. 4 shown emergency light 41 now but still provided that the lamp housing 44 has a portion 45 which has a thinner compared to the rest of the housing material cross-section or in which the material cross-section of the housing is weakened in this area 45.

Wie nun aus Figur 5, die einen Teil der in Figur 4 gezeigten Notleuchte 41 zeigt, hervorgeht, ist innerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses 44 in dem Bereich 45, der einen dünneren Materialquerschnitt aufweist, das Leuchtmittel 42, welches den Ladezustand der Batterien bzw. Akkus signalisiert, angeordnet. Das Leuchtengehäuse 44 ist hierbei aus Kunststoff hergestellt, wodurch das von dem Leuchtmittel 42 abgegebene Licht im Bereich 45 der Verdünnung bzw. Schwächung des Leuchtengehäuses 44 nach außen hindurchtreten kann.Like now off FIG. 5 which are part of the FIG. 4 shown emergency light, 41 is within the lamp housing 44 in the region 45, which has a thinner material cross-section, the lighting means 42, which signals the state of charge of the batteries or accumulators arranged. In this case, the luminaire housing 44 is made of plastic, whereby the light emitted by the luminous means 42 can pass outward in the region 45 of the thinning or weakening of the luminaire housing 44.

Durch diese Verdünnung bzw. Schwächung des Leuchtengehäuses 44 in einem bestimmten Bereich 45 ist es nunmehr möglich, dass das Leuchtmittel 42 zur Anzeige des Ladezustands innerhalb des an sich geschlossenen und ansonsten eher lichtundurchlässigen Leuchtengehäuses 44 angeordnet werden kann, wodurch wiederum beispielsweise eine einfachere Umgestaltung der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 43 ermöglicht wird.By this dilution or weakening of the lamp housing 44 in a certain area 45, it is now possible that the lighting means 42 can be arranged to indicate the state of charge within the self-contained and otherwise rather opaque luminaire housing 44, which in turn, for example, a simpler transformation of translucent Cover 43 is enabled.

In Figur 6 ist nun eine Detailansicht der Anordnung des Leuchtmittels 42 in der Notleuchte 41 gemäß Figur 4 bzw. 5 gezeigt, wobei aus dieser Detailansicht noch einmal deutlich der Bereich 45 mit der Verdünnung bzw. Schwächung des Leuchtengehäuses 44 hervorgeht. Zusätzlich ist Figur 6 auch die Anordnung des Leuchtmittels 42 im Bereich dieser Verdünnung bzw. Schwächung zu entnehmen. In Figur 5 und 6 ist zusätzlich noch eine Platte 48 zu sehen, durch die das Leuchtmittel 42 gehalten wird.In FIG. 6 is now a detailed view of the arrangement of the bulb 42 in the emergency light 41 according to FIG. 4 5, wherein from this detail view clearly shows again the area 45 with the dilution or weakening of the lamp housing 44. In addition is FIG. 6 also to take the arrangement of the bulb 42 in the region of this dilution or weakening. In FIGS. 5 and 6 In addition, a plate 48 can be seen, through which the lamp 42 is held.

Bezüglich der in den Figuren 4, 5 und 6 gezeigten ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist noch anzumerken, dass auch bei der Anordnung des Leuchtmittels 42 innerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses 44 vorgesehen sein kann, dass das Leuchtmittel 42 als Laser oder besonders starke LED mit vorzugsweise einer fokussierenden Optik ausgebildet ist und dass dann noch zusätzlich das Leuchtmittel 42 beabstandet von dem Leuchtengehäuse 44 angeordnet ist.Regarding in the FIGS. 4 . 5 and 6 shown first embodiment of the invention, it should be noted that even in the arrangement of the bulb 42 may be provided within the lamp housing 44 that the bulb 42 is formed as a laser or extra strong LED preferably having a focusing optics and that then additionally the bulb 42nd spaced from the lamp housing 44 is arranged.

Insgesamt ist festzuhalten, dass beide Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung Notleuchten zeigen, bei denen eine Anbringung des Leuchtmittels zur Anzeige des Ladezustands direkt an einer lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung nicht mehr erforderlich ist, wodurch eine flexible Positionierung des Leuchtmittels möglich ist und dadurch beispielsweise eine Umgestaltung der lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung deutlich vereinfacht wird.Overall, it should be noted that both embodiments of the present invention show emergency lights, in which an attachment of the illuminant to indicate the state of charge directly on a translucent cover no longer required is, whereby a flexible positioning of the bulb is possible and thereby, for example, a redesign of the translucent cover is significantly simplified.
