Definitions
- the invention relates to a traffic signaling device for self-luminous ads according to the Preamble of claim 1.
- a display device for a variable message sign in which any indications, the at least one non-changeable display part and a freely selectable display part composable are to be represented.
- the arbitrary selectable The display part is by means of a processor-controlled matrix field displayable by display elements, each display element executed by an illuminated optical fiber is. The illuminated optical fibers are thereby halogen lamps illuminated.
- the disadvantage of this method is on the one hand, the low life of halogen lamps and the others whose high energy consumption.
- a preferred embodiment results according to claim 3 by a toothing on the holding device, which also a particularly simple installation of the holding device guaranteed.
- a further improvement of the thermal conductivity of the holding device is achieved in that according to claim 4 the light emitting diode by a curable thermal paste in the Holding device is attached.
- a particularly inexpensive embodiment results from a optical imaging device of a transparent Plastic such as polymethacrylate (PMMA, trade name Plexiglas) or polycarbonate (PC, trade name Makrolon) according to claim 6.
- a transparent Plastic such as polymethacrylate (PMMA, trade name Plexiglas) or polycarbonate (PC, trade name Makrolon) according to claim 6.
- FIG. 1 shows a detail of a front panel 1 (for example, aluminum) a signaling device, for example, a variable traffic sign or a Light signal system shown, through a hole 2 in the front panel 1, a light emitting diode 3 emits their light.
- the light-emitting diode 3 is in a tubular according to the invention Holding device 4 mounted such that between the side walls of the light emitting diode 3 and the holding device 4th a good contact for heat dissipation is ensured.
- the Holding device 4 may, for example, a metallic Material or of a plastic with good thermal conductivity be made.
- the LED 3 is included so fastened in the holding device 4, that of the Light emitting diode 3 emitted light through a first opening (Light exit opening 5) of the holding device 4 through the Front panel 1 is emitted and the LED 3 by a second opening of the holding device 4 (Contact opening 6) is contacted.
- the cathode connection 7 and the anode terminal 8 of the LED 3 are included connected via cable connections 10 to a control unit 11, which according to the ads to be displayed the LEDs 3 on and off.
- the anode terminal 8 and the cathode terminal 7 are common with the cable connections 10 with the aid of a thermosetting paste 12 curable firmly connected, wherein the thermal compound 12 both a good Heat dissipation as well as a secure attachment of the LED 3 in the holding device 4 ensures.
- the light exit opening 5 is the holding device 4 outside provided with a thread 13, which in a corresponding Thread in the hole 2 of the front panel 1 is inserted. This will be a particularly easy to install, if necessary again detachable connection between the front panel 1 and the Holding device 4 achieved.
- an optical imaging device 14 provided with the help of the radiation characteristic adapts to the local conditions, so that the ad is well recognized by all road users becomes.
- the optical imaging device 14 is included made of glass or a cheap transparent plastic manufactured such as polymethacrylate (PMMA, trade name Plexiglas) or polycarbonate (PC, trade name Makrolon).
- anode terminal 8 is a conductive connection with the Holding device 4, which in this example of metallic Material is made.
- the Holding device 4 Through a conductive connection between the holding device 4 and also from a metallic material existing front panel 1 leaves a particularly simple contacting of the LED 3 reach by a cable connection 15 to the front panel. 1 from the control unit 11 is laid out. This allows the cabling effort reduce by a factor of two.
- a connection (For example, the ground terminal) of all in the signaling device provided light-emitting diodes 3 is thus together over the front panel 1 and the holding device 4th connected to the controller 11.
- the holding device 4 has a toothing 9, which is a particularly simple installation ensured with the front panel.
- Figure 3 is shown schematically and simplified how a holding device 4 without optical imaging device is arranged.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which instead of the LED 3, a light emitting diode 16 on a semiconductor chip is arranged in a holding device 4.
- a special adapted to the light emitting diode 16 on the semiconductor chip optical imaging device 17 is provided in the light exit opening 5 of the holding device 4 .
- the contact takes place as in the previous embodiments via the cathode terminal 7 and the anode terminal 8 and cable connections 10 to the controller 11. Also in this embodiment is it possible to connect by an electric Contact via the holding device 4 to the front panel 1 to perform a reduced number of cable connections to achieve.
