Facade construction with integrated LED light sources

Abstract

The invention relates to a facade construction, consisting of panels and a framework in the form of vertical struts and horizontal girders covered by profiled covers. 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, the 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 profiled covers or project insignificantly beyond same. Separate groups of LED light sources can be connected in the internal volume of the profiled covers 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 profiled covers or are located outside the construction system.

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 first openings are formed for conducting lighting equipment cables, second openings are formed in frontal planes of the profiled covers for light sources, said second openings being commensurable with a 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 a same plane as a front part of the profiled covers.

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

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

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 construction.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(3) 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.

(4) 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

(5) 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.).

(6) 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.
