Description

Automatic lighting indicator {AUTOMATIC LIGHTING INDICATOR}

The present invention relates to an automatically lighting display device. To be more specific, the light emitting means of the display device automatically operates at a specific time or under certain conditions to confirm display information, so that the light emitting means is not turned on in normal times. An automatic lighting display device that guides display information but automatically turns on the light emitting means when it is necessary, such as at night, thereby reducing manpower loss and energy waste by eliminating the need for managers to directly operate and manage the light emitting means. It's about.

In general, information display devices (signs, information boards, etc.) are used as a means of making people aware of specific information to provide guidance on various types of information (location, road name, route to a specific area, etc.) about the information.

For example, inside facilities such as buildings and apartments, display devices are installed so that users can recognize them, such as "emergency exits", "exit points" and "CCTV installation information" in the case of parking lots, as well as restaurants, stores, etc. In companies and organizations, signs with company names, etc. are installed and used to draw people's attention.

In these conventional display devices, when power is supplied, a light emitting means such as a fluorescent lamp or lamp turns on to emit light, thereby identifying the display device.

In other words, in a display device equipped with a normal light emitting means, the light emitting means does not turn on during the day, but turns on only at night so that the display information can be identified. These light emitting means are manually turned on/off by the administrator. It is common to manage it by turning it OFF.

However, as the manager manually turns on the light emitting means, there is a problem that the light emitting means is unnecessarily turned on during the day or does not turn on at night due to the manager's mistake.

As a result, there is a problem that a permanent manager must be assigned, resulting in loss of manpower and economic loss due to energy loss.

Therefore, there is a need to develop an automatic lighting display device that can automatically turn on the light emitting device at a specific time and under certain conditions, for example, at night, without manual management by an administrator.

The automatically lighting display device of the present invention allows the display information to be checked by automatically operating the light emitting means of the display device at a specific time or under certain conditions. In normal times, the display information is guided without the light emitting means being turned on, but the display information is illuminated at night, etc. This relates to an automatic lighting display device that can reduce manpower loss and energy waste by automatically turning on the light emitting means when lighting is necessary, thereby eliminating the need for managers to directly operate and manage the device.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an automatically lighting display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of an automatically lighting display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, an automatically lighting display device according to an embodiment of the present invention may largely include an information display unit 100 and an emission control unit 200.

First, the information display unit 100 is a part where text or graphic information such as information and guidance text is displayed, and is disposed inside the frame 110 and the frame 110, which forms the external form of the display device, and displays the information. It may include an information display panel 120.

The frame 110 is preferably made of a square pipe made of metal in order to maintain the set strength.

The frame 110 may be formed by welding straight square pipes to form a square frame.

Meanwhile, the information display panel 120 may be arranged and installed in the inner space of the frame 110.

At this time, the information display panel 120 may be arranged on the front and rear sides of the frame 110 with space provided at a distance from each other.

Additionally, a light emission control unit 200, which will be described later, may be built into the inner space of the frame 110.

The information display panel 120 may be made of a plastic panel with information printed on it or a sheet attached, like a typical information board or signboard.

In addition, one side of the frame, for example, the upper part, may be provided with a mounting portion 111 for mounting at an installation location.

Next, the light emission control unit 200 is a part equipped with a light emitting means 210 that detects a dark environment or at night and lights up to easily identify the information displayed on the information display unit 100.

The light emission control unit 200 includes a light emitting means 210 for emitting light installed inside the information display unit 100, a power supply unit 220 for supplying power to the light emitting means 210, and the light emitting means 210. ) may include a control unit 230 that controls the light to be automatically turned on in response to a preset environment.

The light emitting means 210 is a means for emitting light, and may be, for example, an LED device.

That is, it is in the form of an LED bar with a plurality of LED elements installed on a PCB, and is preferably installed inside the upper part of the frame 110 so that when the LED is turned on, the light is directed downward to illuminate the entire information display panel 120. It can be done.

The power supply unit 220 is a part that supplies power to light the light emitting means 210, and may be made of a regular AC adapter or DC adapter.

In addition, the power supply unit 220 is basically composed of an AC adapter or a DC adapter, but may be provided with a battery as a spare power source in case the power supply is interrupted.

That is, in normal times, the light emitting means 210 can be turned on through an AC adapter or DC adapter while simultaneously charging the battery, and in a power outage situation where the power supply is interrupted, the light emitting means 210 can be turned on by receiving power from the battery. .

The control unit 230 is a part that controls the overall operation of the light emitting means 210 so that it can emit light in specific situations and conditions.

This control unit 230 can be placed in the inner space of the frame 110 as shown in FIG. 2, but is not limited thereto.

That is, the control unit 230 may be placed in the external space of the frame 110 as shown in FIG. 9. In this case, when the control unit 230 is placed in the external space of the frame 110, it is difficult for the maintenance manager to access it. It can also be placed in an easy location to facilitate future maintenance work.

The control unit 230 may include software and hardware components that control the light emitting means 210, and may include a memory device in which a preset settings database (DB) is stored.

Meanwhile, the light emission control unit 200 may include an illuminance sensor 240 for measuring the amount of light surrounding the information display unit 100.

The illuminance sensor 240 is installed to be exposed to either the frame 110 or the information display panel 120 and is a sensor for detecting ambient brightness by receiving ambient light.

That is, the sensing value sensed through the illuminance sensor 240 is transmitted to the control unit 230, and based on the sensing value acquired by the control unit 230, the light emitting means 210 is controlled to be turned on or to what brightness level. After determining whether to light the light emitting means 210, the light emitting means 210 can be controlled.

In this way, the automatic lighting display device of the present invention identifies the information displayed on the information display panel 120 without turning on the light emitting means 210 during the day, but in a dark environment such as at night, the light received through the illuminance sensor 240 is used to identify the information displayed on the information display panel 120. The light emitting means 210 is controlled to automatically turn on based on the light quantity value.

Through this, even if the manager does not directly turn on/off the power of the light emitting means 210, the light emitting means 210 automatically emits light in a predetermined setting situation, thereby reducing unnecessary energy waste and manpower loss.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the schematic configuration of an automatic lighting display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the timer module.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, as another embodiment, the automatic lighting display device of the present invention is basically controlled so that the light emitting means 210 turns on based on the amount of ambient light received through the illuminance sensor 240, but a specific In a situation, for example, when the light received by the illuminance sensor 240 is above a preset range by momentarily receiving light generated in the surroundings, the light emitting means 210 does not turn on even at night.

To this end, the light emission control unit 200 basically controls the light emitting means 210 to turn on based on the amount of light received by the illuminance sensor 240, but at night time according to the time setting, that is, at a preset time. It may include a timer module 250 that controls the light emitting means 210 to turn on.

The timer module 250 is installed adjacent to the driving unit 250a that provides rotational force and the illuminance sensor 240, is axially coupled to the rotation axis of the driving unit 250a, and transmits light to the disk using the illuminance sensor 240. It may include a time disk 250b in which a slit 251 is formed so that the light can be received.

That is, the timer module 250 rotates the time disk 250b through the rotational force of the driving unit 250a in accordance with the passage of time.

At this time, the driving unit 250a may be either an inverter motor or a stepping motor capable of rotating at low speed and at a specific rotation angle, but is not limited thereto.

Additionally, the timer module 250 can be set to rotate at ultra-low speed 24 hours a day, allowing one rotation cycle of the time disk 250b.

Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, a reducer configuration may be added to enable ultra-low speed rotation.

In addition, it may be rotated by the corresponding angle once at a preset time interval through a stepping motor.

In this way, the time disk 250b is configured so that the light emitting means 210 can be turned on only at a preset night time according to the amount of light received through the illuminance sensor 240, and at a preset daytime time. The time disk 250b may rotate within a range of the slit 251, and at a preset night time, the time disk 250b may rotate within a closed range excluding the slit 251.

That is, the slit 251 formed in the time disk 250b is formed only in the area corresponding to daytime hours (e.g., 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.), and is formed only in the area corresponding to night time (e.g., 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The corresponding area may be in a closed form.

That is, when the time disk 250b rotates once based on 24 hours a day, the timer module 250 rotates within the area where the slit 251 is formed during the daytime, and the slit 251 during the nighttime. This can be made to rotate within the bounds of an unformed closed area.

That is, the light emitting means 210 is not turned on simply with the information on the amount of light received by the illuminance sensor 240 through the timer module 250, but is physically turned on through the slit 251 of the time disk 250b for a set time. By blocking the light received by the illuminance sensor 240, it is possible to prevent malfunction due to unnecessary amount of light coming from the surroundings at night.

Figure 5 is a diagram of a time disk equipped with a slit adjuster.

The slit 251 may further include a slit adjuster 252 so that the user can variably adjust the length of the slit 251 to adjust the closed surface range of the time disk 250b.

In other words, the slit adjusting unit 252 is a part that allows the area of the slit 251 to be reduced or increased. In consideration of the case where the length of the night is long or short depending on the season, the user can adjust the length of the slit 251. It was done so that it could be done.

That is, the slit control unit 252 is installed in the slit 251 and can variably adjust the area of the slit 251 by sliding. In the season when the day is long and the night is short, the slit ( 251) can be adjusted to expand the area, and conversely, if it is a season where the day length is short and the night length is long, the area of the slit 251 can be adjusted to shrink.

Figure 6 is a diagram of a time disk equipped with a translucent member.

The slit 251 is further provided with a translucent member 253 at the boundary portion that passes from the closed surface of the time disk 250b to the slit 251 to gradually increase transparency in order to gradually increase the amount of light received. It can be.

The translucent member 253 may be formed with a gradually lower density of hatches on a transparent material plate so that transparency gradually increases.

In other words, if the density of the hatching of the semi-transparent surface member 253 is high, the transmittance through which light passes through is lowered, and as a result, the transparency is lowered and less light is received by the illuminance sensor 240, thereby changing the time from the preset night time to the day time. At the passing point, the brightness of the light emitting means 210 may be gradually lowered and turned off.

In addition, on the contrary, the slit 251 is a translucent member ( 253) may be further provided.

In other words, if the density of the hatching of the semi-transparent surface member 253 is low, the transmittance through which light passes through increases, and as a result, the transparency becomes high, and the light received by the illuminance sensor 240 is relatively large, so that the light is received at a preset daytime time. When transitioning to night time, the brightness of the light emitting means 210 may be gradually increased and turned on.

Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams of a time disk with a light receiving hole formed thereon.

Referring to FIG. 7, the boundary portion of the slit 251 from the closed surface of the time disk 250b to the slit 251 can be formed to have an open area that gradually increases in order to gradually increase the amount of light received. there is.

To this end, the slit 251 may be formed with a plurality of light-receiving holes 254 whose sizes are gradually increased so that the open area gradually increases.

At this time, the light receiving holes 254 may have a plurality of circular perforations.

That is, as the hole diameter of the plurality of circularly perforated light receiving holes 254 gradually increases, the light received by the illuminance sensor 240 decreases, so that at the time when the preset night time changes from the preset night time to the day time, the light emitting means 210 The brightness of can be gradually lowered and the lights can be turned off.

Also, on the contrary, the slit 251 may be formed with a plurality of light receiving holes 254 in which the size of the holes is gradually reduced so that the open area is gradually reduced.

That is, as the hole diameter of the plurality of circularly perforated light receiving holes 254 gradually decreases, the light received by the illuminance sensor 240 increases, so that at the time when the preset daytime time changes from the preset daytime time to the nighttime time, the light emitting means 210 It can be made to light up as its brightness gradually increases.

Referring to FIG. 8, in another embodiment, a plurality of light receiving holes 254' may be perforated in a strip shape.

That is, the light receiving hole 254' may be formed by forming a plurality of strip-shaped holes so that the hole area gradually increases or the hole area gradually decreases.

In the automatic lighting display device according to the technical idea of the present invention, the light emitting means of the display device automatically operates at a specific time or under certain conditions to check the display information, so that the display information is displayed in a state in which the light emitting means is not turned on in normal times. However, by automatically turning on the light emitting means when it is necessary to turn on the light emitting means, such as at night, manpower loss can be reduced and energy waste can be reduced by eliminating the need for managers to directly operate and manage the light emitting means.
