Abstract

Solar lamppost, of the type that incorporates a mast of undefined length, according to the height provided for the lamp, provided at its upper end with a solar panel acting as an energy sensor that is stored in one or several batteries, which in turn, they supply said energy to one or more luminaires, characterized in that the compartment for the battery or batteries is located at the upper end of the mast, being integrated with the structure of the solar panel or panel, which also incorporates on its underside and also integrated in it, the luminaire or luminaires that constitute the luminous focus of the lamp.

Description

Solar lamppost.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a lamppost solar, that is to a lamppost destined to constitute a means of public street lighting, which it uses for its operation solar energy stored in a battery.

The object of the invention is to achieve a lamp that, in addition to offering proper autonomy for its correct operation, be safer both in the face of efforts generated by the wind as opposed to acts of vandalism tending to Theft of your battery.

Background of the invention

Conventionally the solar lamps are structured with a base, materialized in a housing dimensionally suitable to receive the battery or group of batteries for storage of the captured electrical energy by the solar panel or photovoltaic plate installed on the extremities top and free of a mast of varying height depending on the height planned for the luminaire, which is in turn in solidarity with an arm that emerges laterally from the aforementioned mast.

This is a problem that focuses fundamentally in the following aspects:

-

To the be the batteries housed in the lower socket, that is located at ground level, they are easily accessible by which in turn are frequent robberies of the same.

-

He lateral arm for the luminaire and the opposite arrangement of the same with respect to the solar panel, make the lamp highly influenced by the wind, which forces the oversizing of certain components thereof, with the cost that this implies.

-

This fork between the solar panel and luminaire brackets brings about a considerable limitation from the point of view of design, so that these streetlights are quite rough, functionality prevailing against aesthetics, but being evident that every day this aesthetic has greater importance.

Trying to ignore the first of the problems cited, ie the ease of theft for the battery or group of batteries, the idea of practice a pit under the lamppost, based on reinforced concrete, where the batteries are locked, but this solution is also complex from the point of view of assembly, impractical since the underground receptacle requires an access mouth for introduction / removal of batteries when it is necessary.

Description of the invention

The solar lamp that the invention proposes solves the problem completely satisfactorily previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

To do this, more specifically and in agreement with one of the characteristics of the invention, the plate photovoltaic or solar panel forms a single piece assembly with the luminaire, so that the focus or foci constituting it The latter are located on the underside of said solar panel. This structural simplification obviously affects both the aesthetics of the lamppost as in its effect as an element opposed to the action of the wind.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that the luminaire or luminaires use LEDs, which consume much less energy and are cleaner than Conventional luminaires

The lower energy consumption of LEDs allows the use of lower power solar panels and consequently smaller size, which limits the effects of sailing suffered by the photovoltaic plate.

The size of the batteries also decreases by concordance with the need for a lower storage capacity energetic.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention the solar panel is also integrated with the receptacle battery container, that is to say that said receptacle is located at the upper extremity of the lamppost mast, where it results from very difficult access to carry out manipulations undue on it, as tending for example to the theft of batteries

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view latero-superior of the upper limb of a solar lamppost made in accordance with the purpose of this invention, that is to say said lamp without its mast.

Figure 2.- Shows another perspective view of the set represented in the previous figure, now side-bottom and properly coupled to the mast of the lamppost, which appears only partially represented.

Figure 3.- Shows a plan view bottom of the assembly represented in figure 1.

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a profile of the set of the previous figure.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the solar lamp that the invention proposes, starting of using a column or mast (1) of any length and configuration, according to the expected height of the lamppost and with the general design of it, receives by its upper extremity and through a socket (2) to a receptacle (3) provided with vents (4), dimensionally suitable receptacle to receive in its breast the batteries necessary to provide the lamppost of due energy autonomy, and with grilles of ventilation (4) for heat dissipation than said batteries can generate.

The compartment (3) has its upper base inclined and is united jointly through it to a solar panel (5), which due to the inclination of the upper base of said receptacle (3) also adopts an inclined arrangement, to be properly oriented with respect to radiation solar preponderant in the area, for optimal or maximum uptake of solar energy.

This photovoltaic board (5) receives in solidarity with its lower face, specifically through the highest sector that leaves the receptacle (3) free for batteries, to a group of luminaires (6), considerably flattened and structured based on a plurality of LEDs, so that said luminaires (6) are not only lowercase from the point of view of volumetric occupation, but also consume very little energy, which allows the use for the same solar lamp of a plate (5) of smaller dimensions, with a group of batteries also smaller and therefore housed in a receptacle (3) of smaller dimensions, than being located in the upper extremity of the mast (1) is inaccessible to unauthorized persons

Claims (4)

1. Solar lamppost, of the type that incorporates a mast of indefinite length, in accordance with the height provided for the lamppost, provided at its upper end with a solar panel acting as an energy collector that is stored in one or several batteries, which in turn, they supply said energy to one or more luminaires, characterized in that the battery or battery compartment is located at the upper end of the mast, being integrated with the structure of the solar panel or panel, which also incorporates in its lower face and also integrated in it, the luminaire or luminaires that constitute the light bulb of the lamppost. 2. Solar lamppost, according to claim 1, characterized in that the luminaire or luminaires use LED diodes as light bulbs. 3. Solar lamp post, according to previous claims, characterized in that the luminaires occupy the portion of the lower face of the solar panel that leaves the receptacle for the battery or batteries free. 4. Solar lamppost, according to previous claims, characterized in that the battery receptacle incorporates a projected neck down, dimensionally suitable for pressure coupling to the upper end of the lamppost mast, and also has side vents for battery ventilation or batteries
