Description

The invention relates to an emergency light for illuminating an area in the event of an emergency or danger according to the preamble of claim 1.

Emergency lights for lighting a surrounding area in case of emergency or danger are known devices for private households or in the institutional sector such as hotels, hospitals or retirement homes or the like., In which a light source is arranged in a room and is turned on in case of power failure, that a person in this room can orient themselves despite a blackout due to the blackout and switch to another safe area. In the private sector such emergency lights are often used as so-called pluggable night lights, regardless of power outages, when at night dark rooms such as nursery or the like are to be lit with a low residual brightness to allow about waking up at night children orientation. In this case, a corresponding lighting device is plugged into a socket and then lights up the room during the darkness weak.

However, especially in the institutional sector, such as in hospitals or nursing homes, the mere guarantee of a lighting function in the event of a power failure is not sufficient to safeguard persons who are there. Thus, on the one hand, it is not ensured that such a simple emergency light also works during the entire duration of the power failure, since these emergency lights have only a limited and previously not reliably ascertainable lighting duration in power-disconnected emergency operation. It may therefore happen that such an emergency light is correctly in emergency mode when the power fails, but the light duration is only sufficient for part of the duration of the power failure and therefore the emergency light function is not guaranteed safe. Furthermore, it has been found that the reliability of such emergency lights is given only very limited, since the batteries or batteries of the emergency lights are not monitored regularly and their state of charge is therefore very uneven. If a safe operation of the emergency lights are to be guaranteed, then elaborate and regular maintenance of emergency lights is required, which is expensive and labor-intensive and also requires regular access to the installation sites. It is therefore often come in retirement homes, for example, in which more or less helpless people have come in dangerous or embarrassing situations due to a power outage or due to frequently carried out at night maintenance of electrical installations from which they are due to the lack of lighting or could not free themselves due to non-functioning call systems.

There are about this for the care sector solutions in which by means of specially installed devices and cabling an emergency operation of light units or signaling devices can be ensured for the de-energized state of backup batteries, but these are costly individual installations that are planned from the outset in the electrical installation have to.

Furthermore, various bus systems are known from modern electrical installation technology, where so-called. Installation bus systems are laid in the object area, but also for high-level households in the new installation of electrical systems instead of normal cable, on the one hand, the power supply of the individual devices, but also a communication allow the devices to communicate with each other or with higher-level stations. In such installation bus systems emergency lights and various sensors can be integrated, with which an intelligent room monitoring and room control is possible. However, the installation of such systems usually requires a complete rewiring of the electrical installation and replacement of all control devices for electrical appliances such as sockets and switches, so that such a system is practically only useful for new construction or comprehensive renovation in old stock.

In the EP 0 411 388 A1 an emergency light is described that has an emergency power function and can be mounted in a conventional switch box. In the WO 2005/069240 A2 is a arranged under the ceiling of a room smoke detector is described, which additionally has a lighting function.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an easy-to-install and functionally modular emergency light which, on the one hand, ensures safe emergency operation in the de-energized state of the electrical installation and, on the other hand, can take on additional monitoring functions.

The solution of the object of the invention results from the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with the features of the preamble. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The invention is based on an emergency light for illuminating an environmental area in the event of an emergency or danger, which is connected to the power supply in normal operation and has at least one light-emitting device. Such a generic emergency light is further formed by that the emergency light in a switch box or the like. Built-in receiving space is permanently installed and has sensors / actuators or connected to sensors / actuators with which monitoring and notification functions of the emergency light depending on environmental parameters are executable, the emergency light is equipped with its own emergency power supply which is activated in the event of mains voltage failure and ensures the operation of the emergency light and / or at least one of its monitoring and notification functions. Significant advantage of the emergency light according to the invention is therefore on the one hand, the installation of emergency light in existing conventional switch boxes or otherwise usually in existing or provided installation space such as drainage boxes, surface mounting frames or the like., By one, the installation space is minimized and installation also in the building stock is simply made possible. Furthermore, the emergency light according to the invention can have sensors / actuators or be connected to sensors / actuators with which monitoring and notification functions of the emergency light can be performed depending on environmental parameters, so that the emergency light in addition to the pure lighting function can also take on other tasks that previously only were executable either with elaborate additional sensors / actuators and the necessary additional wiring. The emergency light according to the invention can also be used as an easily installable and cost-effective alternative to known installation bus systems, which indeed allow appropriate monitoring and notification functions, but this usually only by combining several separate individual modules, assuming the presence of the actual installation bus. In addition, it is ensured with the emergency light according to the invention that in addition to the pure emergency light function of the emergency light at least some of the integrated monitoring and notification functions can be ensured even in a power failure by the emergency power supply of the emergency and the emergency power supply of the modules for the monitoring and notification functions takes over. This ensures that even in the event of a power failure, for example, for persons located in the vicinity of the emergency light, the security is ensured, but at least a dangerous condition is detected and signaled and thus appropriate countermeasure can be taken. With this combination of the functionalities of the emergency light according to the invention a substantial improvement in the applicability to conventional emergency lights is achieved with lower equipment and installation costs. But above all, such an emergency light can be easily integrated into existing electrical installations or connect with existing electrical installations, so that just the use in the building stock can be done inexpensively. In the sense described above, the emergency light also has a orientation function and could also be referred to as emergency and orientation light.

It is advantageous if the emergency power supply of the emergency light has an energy storage device. Such energy storage device can be continuously charged during operation of the emergency light on the power grid, so that the functionality of the emergency light is given at any time. If, in addition, the state of charge of the energy storage device is monitored as continuously as possible by the emergency light, an aging of the energy storage device can also be detected in good time and signaled in such a way that an exchange of the energy storage device takes place quickly and thus the functional capability of the emergency light remains permanently secured. For this purpose, it makes sense in another embodiment, when the energy storage device of the emergency light without disassembly of the emergency light itself is interchangeable, preferably by an accessible from outside the emergency light drive bay. Thus, even non-expertly trained personnel easily and possibly even without special tool exchange, so that about in a nursing home nursing staff can exchange the energy storage device when signaling the need for replacement of the energy storage device directly on site the energy storage device. It is also conceivable to connect additional external energy storage devices to the emergency light in order to increase the operating time of the emergency light.

It is also conceivable that the energy storage device can be charged as an alternative to charging the power grid or additionally via a solar module that is integrated into the emergency light or with which the emergency light is in electrical connection. This makes it possible to further safeguard the function of the emergency light, which is always recharged via the solar module even with longer de-energized states of the mains supply.

Of importance for the safety function of the emergency light is when the emergency power supply in case of interference or below a predefinable minimum light duration of the emergency light by emergency power supply outputs an error signal, preferably acoustically or visually signaled. It is important that the emergency light, for example, provides the emergency light function and the monitoring and notification functions independently of the status of the power grid in the event of a power failure over a definable time in order to protect persons located in the area of the emergency light, for example. Since the emergency power supply constantly calculates and monitors the minimum functional duration that can be foreseen on account of the state of charge of the energy storage storage device, the system designer can determine the duration of the Safely indicate and ensure the functionality of the emergency light. Should the state of charge of the energy storage device no longer ensure the required duration of the currentless operation of the emergency light, this can be signaled in good time before an emergency operation and a premature failure of the emergency light can be counteracted, for example, by replacing the energy storage device. It is advantageous in this case if the signaling of a fault or falling below a predefinable minimum light duration by a magnetic contact is temporarily suppressed, preferably by a magnetic contact which is actuated by a magnet from outside the emergency light. As a result, for example, the nursing staff of a retirement home, which is made aware of the disturbance by the signaling of a disturbance, temporarily suppress this signaling, for example switching off a corresponding buzzer for a limited time until repair or replacement of the energy storage device. During this time, for example, the resident of the nursing home is not disturbed and, if necessary, maintenance personnel can be requested. It is important that the signal can be suppressed by the contact only for a limited time and then a renewed signaling, so that not safety-impaired by repeatedly suppressing the signaling the safety function of the emergency light is impaired or even canceled. It is also conceivable fault acknowledgment by a concealed switch, which is accessible only by means of a sharp object through a hole in the cover of the emergency light and whose function is known only to the nursing staff. With regard to checking the function of the emergency light, it is also advantageous if the emergency light after a connection to the mains power supply performs a test of the emergency power supply. This will detect any problems that have occurred and ensure trouble-free emergency operation.

It is furthermore advantageous if the function of the emergency light can be set and / or switched on and off in accordance with the ambient brightness, for instance by the emergency light having a light-sensitive element with which the function of the emergency light can be controlled correspondingly to the ambient brightness. In this way, for example, the illumination function of the emergency light can be adapted to the respective brightness at the installation location, or monitoring and notification functions can also be switched on or off or regulated depending on the respective brightness at the installation location.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the maximum illumination duration of the emergency light, which must be ensured via the energy storage device, is adjustable to the emergency light. As a result, for example, when operating several emergency lights of this type, the required operating time of the emergency light can be individually adapted to the respective installation location, and also changes in the requirements of the minimum duration of the emergency light can easily be changed on site.

In a preferred embodiment, it is conceivable that the light emitting device of the emergency light has at least one LED lighting element. Such LED lighting elements are on the one hand very easy to maintain because they have extremely long periods of use, they also consume only little power and therefore allow long light durations in emergency power operation of the emergency light. In particular, when using LED lighting elements, it makes sense if the light emitting device is designed changeable in their luminosity and / or their luminous color. For example, the luminous color of the resulting light can be easily changed by several mixed-color LED lighting elements and their brightness control by resulting mixed colors and the intensity can be adjusted in the dark according to the required luminous intensity of the emergency light.

With regard to the integration of the emergency light as in electrical installations at the installation, it is conceivable that the emergency light has a switching device, with the switching states of the emergency light can be transmitted to other electrical devices or other electrical devices to the emergency light. This interface, which can be realized conventionally by means of a relay or switching output, can serve to signal conditions recognized at the installation site of the emergency light on the basis of the monitoring and notification functions, eg, B. display a signal device in the nursing room of a retirement home or to control the installation site existing facilities, such as turn off electrical appliances or the like.

In a further embodiment, it is also conceivable that the emergency light has interfaces over which it can exchange signals with expansion units or the like installed in adjacent receiving spaces. As a result, adjacent to each other in built-in boxes built emergency lights or related additional equipment can be easily coupled together, whereby the installation can be improved or the installation space can be increased. In this case, for example, electrical contact types of these interfaces can be selectively set so that the contact behavior of the interfaces to all conceivable in the technical field types of contact (pulsed or uniform signals, timing of the signals, etc.) can be realized and thus contact z. B. for detecting and transmitting switching states with a large variety of other devices and facilities is possible.

In particular, for the use of the emergency light according to the invention, it is advantageous if the emergency light is connected to other emergency lights and / or a monitoring center such that signals between the emergency lights and / or the monitoring center can be replaced. This can be approximately in the object area, z. B. for old people's homes, hospitals, hotels or the like. The emergency light are installed in all relevant rooms and at the same time centrally monitors the function of the emergency light or other emergency lights, z. B. in a staff room on. In this way, the application possibilities can be expanded and, in particular, the administration of such installation of emergency lights can be carried out in a straightforward manner both with regard to the effort and can be retrofitted cost-effectively. Thus, alone with the help of such networked emergency lights a monitoring and notification function in a whole retirement home or the like. Can be built without complex modifications are required. Here, the communication of the individual emergency lights and / or the monitoring center via the wiring of the power grid can be done, for example by known techniques such as powerline transmission or the like. Transmission techniques are used, which remain functional even in the de-energized state of the cable networks. It is also conceivable to use a radio link between the emergency lights and / or the monitoring center as it is already known and tested in the networking of wireless smoke detectors. It can be provided that in such interconnections of several emergency lights a kind of diagnostic option is implemented in emergency, in which the quality of the connection of individual compounds of emergency lights can be analyzed and examined for the presence of interference or misconduct. This is for troubleshooting and quality assurance in networking directly beneficial.

Of importance here is that in the monitoring center, the signals of each emergency light via a coding or the like. With regard to their spatial assignment to the respective emergency light are clearly identified. As a result, an accrued message of an emergency light can be assigned directly to the respective emergency light and the auxiliary personnel immediately the information is provided where help or a control is necessary. It is also conceivable that the monitoring center automatically initiates countermeasures based on the signals of the emergency light, which serve to safeguard persons staying in the vicinity of the emergency light. Thus, for example, in the event of a power failure by the emergency light on site, an electrical device can be switched off, which could otherwise go into an undefined operating state when the power supply returns.

It is advantageous if the emergency light can also be connected to customary installation bus systems and can be coupled with these bus systems in terms of information technology. As a result, the emergency light according to the invention can also be used in installation environments with an installation bus system, eg. As for a simple extension or areas where the installation bus system itself is not provided. For this purpose, it is helpful if the emergency light can log on to such bus systems in order to be able to make the appropriate configuration within the bus system directly at the emergency light. The same applies, of course, for other connection options z. B. via radio links.

With regard to the foreseeable sensors or actuators, which can be provided on the emergency light itself or can be connected to the emergency light, there are many conceivable possibilities for using such sensors on or with the emergency light. It is conceivable, for example, that the emergency light has a sensor for movements or is connected to a sensor for movements, preferably an infrared motion detector or a radar motion detector, which responds to movements in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports it to the emergency light. In this way, the function of the emergency light can be controlled depending on movements in the vicinity of the emergency light, such as the emergency light can only be turned on when a movement detected in the detection area or the brightness of the emergency light are regulated higher, if a person is in the detection range of the motion detector. Likewise, the signal of the motion detector can be used, for example, to protect physically disabled persons by checking whether movements have been registered within certain time periods and, therefore, the person is presumably also physically intact.

Furthermore, a sensor can be provided which responds to smoke or fire in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports this to the emergency light. As a result, in particular in networked inserts of emergency light at a central location alarm can be triggered when smoke or fire was detected. With individual or a few emergency lights, a sound signal can also be issued locally as a warning, as is usual with conventional smoke detectors.

Also, a sensor may be provided which reacts to gases, in particular hydrocarbon gases in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports this to the emergency light. Thus, it is possible to detect the improper escape of gas from gas stoves or gas stoves, and to trigger or warn appropriate countermeasures.

It is also conceivable that the emergency light has a sensor or connected to a sensor is that detects the temperature in the vicinity of the emergency light and this reports to the emergency light. Thus, for example, when a greater decrease in temperature is detected, a signal can be given to an electrically controllable window for closing or else the heating can be readjusted accordingly. This also applies to appropriate overheating of a room z. B. due to sunlight or the like ..

It is also conceivable that the emergency light has a sensor or is connected to a sensor that detects moisture or liquids in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports this to the emergency light. For example, when overflowing baths or the like. The emergency light can then deliver to an electrically influenced faucet in the sanitary area, the signal for switching off, through which the source of moisture is turned off. Also, in humid areas, for example, the air humidity can be influenced to a certain degree by influencing the indoor climate.

Furthermore, the emergency light can have a sensor or be connected to a sensor that detects vibrations or infrasound in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports this to the emergency light. For example, a physically restricted person with a tendency to fall can be monitored by detecting detected vibrations and signaling them as a potential fall of the person. It is also possible to monitor the surroundings of the emergency light, for example, for noises due to movements or impact sound measurable in the area of infrasound.

It is also possible that the emergency light has a camera sensor or is connected to a camera sensor which detects at least parts of the scenery in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports this to the emergency light. Thus, in particular for networked installations of the emergency light when an unusual situation detected by the sensor system, monitoring personnel can switch on the camera sensor and thus obtain a quick overview of possibly existing hazardous situations so that the countermeasures can be initiated even before a physical inspection at the installation location by the monitoring personnel , For this purpose, the emergency light can also have a loudspeaker and / or a microphone or be connected to a loudspeaker and / or a microphone, which detects the acoustic signals in the vicinity of the emergency light or sends it to the environment. Just as the camera sensor can be turned on when signaling unusual conditions, alternatively or additionally, speakers and / or microphone can be used to z. B. to quickly contact a person located at the installation site. It is also conceivable that a person located at the installation site emits voice commands to the emergency light through loudspeaker and / or microphone, with which connected functions can be triggered.

It is also conceivable that the emergency light has a light barrier or a laser sensor, in particular a laser light barrier or is connected to such a laser sensor, which detects at least parts of the scenery in the vicinity of the emergency light and reports to the emergency light. As a result, another function for monitoring of rooms, z. B. corridors or entrances can be realized as against unauthorized entry or exit.

In a further embodiment, it is also conceivable that a plurality of adjacently mounted emergency lights in a Dominoschaltung in time staggered in succession be put into operation to bring about an extension of the emergency lighting function. Here, the energy storage of the individual emergency lights are successively exploited by switching on the emergency lights, resulting in a multiplication of the duration of the emergency lights total.

An advantage with regard to the operation of the emergency light is when the operating state and / or the function control of the emergency light is signaled at the emergency light itself and / or is adjustable. As a result, in particular in the case of individual emergency lights, their function can be influenced directly on site and without additionally necessary programming devices or the like. In this case, the signaling of operating states of the emergency light, for example also of fault states, can be done differently depending on what time of day is present. Thus, about the day signaling according to conspicuous, so z. B. by loud acoustic or bright optical signals, whereas at night only a low buzzer or a not so bright optical signal is emitted so as not to disturb people unnecessarily or excessively during the night's sleep.

It is particularly advantageous for the inconspicuousness of the installation of the emergency light when the emergency light is designed to fit the dimensions of commercial switch programs and therefore can be used together with conventional plugs, switches or the like. In the appropriate frame. As a result, the retrofitting of the emergency lights according to the invention is further improved and simplified, also can be exchanged as needed, the installation of the emergency light with conventional switches / plugs or replaced.

In particular with regard to the operation of the basic functions of the emergency light, it is advantageous if the emergency light can be optionally switched on via a switch, preferably a touch switch. or can be switched off. As a result, for example, older and less technically savvy people can turn on or off at least the emergency light manually. It is conceivable here that the switch by an integrated lighting device in the form of a location light z. B. from a small LED light is particularly well marked, so that the switch is easy to find and operate especially in the dark or low illumination of the installation of the emergency light. In this case, this integrated lighting device z. B. depending on different operating options or operating conditions also different, eg. B. shine different colors. It is also conceivable that upon actuation of the switch additional lighting is activated on the emergency light to further improve the operation of the emergency light in dark environments. For this purpose, for example, a backlight of a display that can be integrated in the emergency light or other lighting devices arranged on the emergency light can be used. In this case, different lighting devices on the emergency light can also be controlled differently and regulated differently in their brightness to z. B. note functions to realize.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the emergency light has a connection for current and / or voltage converter, with the z. B. an energy meter connected and / or a power and power monitoring with the emergency light is feasible. As a result, the correspondingly equipped emergency light can also be used for the acquisition and reading of consumption data of electrical energy.

Furthermore, the emergency light may have a timer function by which the functions of the emergency light can be switched on and off in a timed manner. This can be z. B. can be used to switch about lighting functions of the emergency light only at certain times, such as in the dark.

Of particular advantage for the operation of the emergency light is when the emergency light is adjustable and controllable via a display device which is connected to a switching device in the form of a knob for controlling menu functions on the display device. Such a display device, as used for example in some vehicles to control electronic functions, provides a fairly clear and comfortable way to control the variety of functions of the emergency light and signal. Switching device and display device are coupled directly to each other, the respective settings are displayed on the screen and with the switching device z. B. in the form of a rotary switch or acknowledged.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the emergency light according to the invention is shown in the drawing.
