WO2006117012A1 - Solar-powered illumination for information panels and advertising hoardings - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to an illumination unit, which can be attached to areas displaying information or advertising. Current information or advertising areas, for example, information panels or town or street maps, which are located at the side of the road at the entrance to the location, are extremely difficult to read at night. If illumination is provided, there must be in addition an electrical connection, which requires a significant amount of resources to lay, if the information or advertising area is in a remote location. According to the invention, areas of this type are provided with illumination, (preferably LEDs), which are supplied by means of solar cells (preferably thin-film solar cells). Said solar cells are mounted in a fixed manner on the object to be illuminated. In addition, the areas are also equipped with batteries, (preferably gel batteries), which store the energy that is generated by the solar cells. A photo-electric switch guarantees an operation of the illumination that is adapted to requirements.

LIGHTING FOR INFORMATION AND ADVERTISING PANELS SUPPLIED WITH SOLAR CELLS

\: The solar powered system for the respective boxes and stops

is designed so that a solar cell in a 70 degree inclination in a Rahmen¬

Construction is built on and wind load is secured. The power module

achieves a very high efficiency even with low light exposure.

2. The charge controller will simultaneously charge the gel batteries

supervises, the batteries are protected from a deep discharge and it

at dusk an LED light bar is switched on and with the

stored stored energy. At daybreak, the light turns off

and the batteries are recharged.

3. The big advantage is that no power connection from the power grid

is required and each box is its own supply island.

The protection for this utility model is hereby requested. Description of the drawing for solar transmission for banners

Claims

Slit claims solar transmission for banners

1. Solar power modules, on information boards of the local directories and advertising boxes

Road edges, provide stored in the box solar gel batteries for storing the absorbed solar energy. Characterized drawn by a solar module (1) with a calculated bracket on the corresponding

Info boxes, advertising panels and bus shelters are firmly mounted and clamped with a connection to a charge controller (2).

2. The device according to claim 1 drawn by the charge controller, an infrared detector, (3) a connection to the battery (4) supplies the charge with 12 volts and another connection to a light diode strip (5) to be led.

3. The device according to claim 1 -2 drawn by the fact that the light sources are automatically switched on at night and provide the lighting safe until the daylight deactivates the twilight switch and the light bar in the box switches off again.

4. The device according to claim 1-3 characterized draws that the protection claim arises from the fact that so far, the info boxes were either not lit or are paid for with a power cable Through this development, the power supply from the power grid is reduced and the output of carbon dioxide reduces this another step to protect the environmental impact of pollutants.
