Description

BeschreibungDescription

Elektronische Beleuchtung ohne galvanische Verbindung der einzelnen elektrischen Kerzen.Electronic lighting without galvanic connection of the individual electric candles.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtung, welche aus beliebig vielen einzelnen elektrischen Kerzen bestehen kann, welche untereinander nicht galvanisch verbunden sind. Beleuchtung, welche aus mehreren, zusammengehörigen elektrischen Kerzen bestehen, finden vor allem Verwendung als Christbaum- oder Partybeleuchtung.The invention relates to lighting which can consist of any number of individual electric candles which are not galvanically connected to one another. Lighting which consists of several related electric candles is mainly used as Christmas tree or party lighting.

Entwicklungsziel dieses neuen Beleuchtungssystems ist, die Handhabung deutlich zu vereinfachen und das System flexibler und sicherer zu gestalten.The development goal of this new lighting system is to significantly simplify handling and make the system more flexible and safer.

Derzeit sind bei allen bekannten elektrischen Christbaumbeleuchtung die einzelnen Kerzen über ein Kabel miteinander verbunden, über welches auch die Energieversorgung erfolgt.Currently, in all known electric Christmas tree lights, the individual candles are connected to each other via a cable, which also supplies the power.

Der entscheidende Nachteil dieser Systeme liegt darin, daß man in den Möglichkeiten zur Anbringung der Kerzen dadurch die Kabellänge beschränkt ist. Zudem ist der optische Gesamteindruck durch das Kabel getrübt.The main disadvantage of these systems is that the length of the cable is limited in the options for attaching the candles. In addition, the overall visual impression is spoiled by the cable.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diesen Nachteil zu beheben.The aim of the invention is to remedy this disadvantage.

Erreicht wird dies durch die Erfindung nach Anspruch 1, welche ohne ein verbindendes Kabel der Kerzen untereinander auskommt.This is achieved by the invention according to claim 1, which does not require a cable connecting the candles to each other.

Durch moderne Leuchtmittel, wie z.B. hocheffiziente LEDs, kann mit wenig elektrischer Energie eine ausreichende Leuchtkraft erzeugt werden.Modern lighting sources, such as highly efficient LEDs, can produce sufficient luminosity with little electrical energy.

Der geringe Energiebedarf ermöglicht den Betrieb jeder einzelnen Kerze mit einer kleinen Batterie, welche mit im Kerzengehäuse untergebracht ist.The low energy requirement allows each individual candle to be operated with a small battery, which is housed in the candle housing.

Ebenfalls im Gehäuse integriert ist eine Elektronik, welche für die energiesparende Ansteuerung des Leuchtmittels zustandig ist sowie die Ein- und Abschaltung der Kerze steuert.Also integrated into the housing is an electronic unit which is responsible for the energy-saving control of the light source and controls the switching on and off of the candle.

Die An- und Abschaltung kann z.B. über einen speziellen Schallimpuls erfolgen, damit alle autarken Kerzen synchron ein- bzw. ausgeschalten werden, oder z.B. einzeln über einen magnetisch operierenden Kontakt.The switching on and off can be done, for example, via a special sound pulse so that all self-sufficient candles are switched on and off synchronously, or, for example, individually via a magnetically operating contact.

Die technische Umsetzung dieser Beleuchtung resultiert in kleinen, leichten Kerzenmodulen, welche für eine Leuchtdauer von min. 30 Stunden ausgelegt sind und so leicht gebaut sind, daß sie auch problemlos auf kleineren Zweigen angebracht werden können.The technical implementation of this lighting results in small, lightweight candle modules, which are designed to last for at least 30 hours and are so light that they can also be easily attached to smaller branches.

Durch die Zusammenstellung des Systems aus vielen autarken batteriebetriebenen Kerzen ist dieses System auch sicherheitstechnisch den heutigen Systemen weit überlegen, da keine Netzspannung sondern nur Niedervoltspannungen unter 6V verwendet werden müssen.By assembling the system from many self-sufficient battery-operated candles, this system is also far superior to today's systems in terms of safety, since no mains voltage needs to be used, only low voltages below 6V.

Ein Beispiel eines Aufbaus einer kabellosen elektrischen Kerze zeigt das Schema nach Figur 1. An example of the construction of a wireless electric candle is shown in the diagram in Figure 1.

Die Skizze ist tatsächlich nur als Beispiel zu verstehen, da dem mechanischen Aufbau in der Gestaltung prinzipiell keine Grenzen gesetzt sind!The sketch is actually only to be understood as an example, since there are in principle no limits to the mechanical structure in the design!
