FACADE CONSTRUCTION WITH INTEGRATED LED LIGHT SOURCES

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of industrial and civil engineering, more particularly to translucent facade constructions of buildings and structures, which can be installed during the construction and reconstruction of buildings. The main elements of the device are panels and a framework in the form of vertical struts and horizontal girders covered by profiled decorative covers. At the locations of intersection of the profiled covers, openings are formed inside the profile thereof for conducting lighting equipment cables, openings are formed in the frontal planes of the decorative covers for light sources, said openings being commensurable with the diameter of the light sources, and the light sources are located in the same plane as the front part of the profile of the decorative cover or project insignificantly beyond same. Separate groups of LED light sources can be connected in the internal volume of the profile of the decorative cover with the aid of a switching power-supply connector and switching control connector, and electrical power-supply sources and elements for controlling the light sources are mounted in the internal volume of the profile of the decorative cover or are located outside the facade system. The technical result: the production of a technical means of defined purpose, more particularly of a facade construction with integrated LED light sources for illuminating said facade construction during night time, without reducing the main technical characteristics of a facade system and without substantially increasing the supporting load on the construction of a building or structure.

Claims

1. A facade construction with integrated LED light sources, consisting of panels and a framework in the form of vertical struts and horizontal girders covered by profiled covers, wherein at the locations of intersection of the profiled covers openings are formed for conducting lighting equipment cables, openings are formed in the frontal planes of the profiled covers for light sources, said openings being commensurable with the diameter of the light sources.

2. The facade construction with integrated LED light sources according to claim 1, wherein the light sources are located in the same plane as the front part of the cover profile.

3. The facade construction with integrated LED light sources according to claim 1, wherein the light sources project insignificantly beyond the plane of the front part of the cover profile.

4. The facade construction with integrated LED light sources according to claim 1, wherein separate groups of LED light sources are connected in the internal volume of the cover profile with the aid of a switching power-supply connector and switching control connector.

5. The facade construction with integrated LED light sources according to claim 1, wherein cables and electrical power-supply sources and elements for controlling the light sources are mounted in the internal volume of the cover profile.

6. The facade construction with integrated LED light sources according to claim 1, wherein cables and electrical power-supply sources and elements for controlling the light sources are located beyond the facade system.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] FIG. 1 shows a facade construction 1, consisting of facade panels 2 with vertical struts 3 and horizontal girders 4 covered outside by profiled decorative covers 5.

[0010] FIG. 2 shows, in particular, various options for the location of the openings on the front surface of the decorative cover 5, where LED light sources 6 are inserted. The outer surface of the decorative cover 5 can be flat or have various shapes.

[0011] FIG. 3 shows how the lighting equipment and the lighting equipment cables are located in the profiled decorative cover 5. LED light sources 6 are mounted in the openings 7 of the decorative cover 5, which are fixed on a flexible tape or in another way. On top of the back of LED light sources 6, in particular, a compound 8 or another element or composition for dust and moisture protection can be applied. Separate groups of LED light sources 6 can be connected directly to each other or with the aid of a switching power-supply connector 9 and switching control connector 10. The power-supply system 11 and the light control system 12 are mounted behind decorative covers, or carried outside the facade system.

[0012] FIG. 4 shows, in particular, the variants of intersection of decorative covers 5: linear 13, cross 14, Y-shaped 15, angular 16, T-shaped 17, around the circumference 18.

IMPLEMENTATION OF INVENTION

[0013] Decorative covers with integrated LED light sources are installed on the facade system construction during the final stage of installation; along with the installation of decorative covers, the lighting equipment cables (power-supply sources and, if necessary, elements for controlling the LED sources) are mounted. Sequential connection of individual elements of the facade construction with light sources is possible. With the help of the light control system, architectural and artistic (decorative) lighting of the facade is carried out. Depending on the location of the light sources, it is possible to create, for example, a linear (contour) glow along the facade in places where the above-mentioned decorative covers are located, or create glow of only a part of the facade system (depending on the design solution). In the event of using full-color light sources, it is possible to control each source or a section of sources, which makes it possible to create various light scenarios on the facade (simultaneous colour change on the entire facade, separate colour change of light sources, brightness change, change in colour change speed, etc.).

[0014] The backlight system is used during the night and during the day the light sources integrated into the plane of the decorative cover are practically invisible and do not compromise the decorative integrity of the facade view.
