Description

Dispositif d'animation lumineuse Light animation device
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'animation lumineuse permettant de créer des effets visuels lumineux. Le dispositif d'animation lumineuse comporte au moins une guirlande lumineuse alimentée par un animateur générant du courant alternatif sur plusieurs voies d'alimentation.The present invention relates to a light animation device for creating light visual effects. The light animation device comprises at least one light garland supplied by an animator generating alternating current on several supply channels.
Il est connu dans l'art antérieur des guirlandes lumineuses permettant de créer des effets visuels. Ces guirlandes sont alimentées par des animateurs à plusieurs voies d'alimentation. L'animateur présente une sortie neutre et plusieurs sorties alimentées en courant alternatif. Sur chacune de ces sorties alimentées en courant alternatif sont montés un ou plusieurs ponts en parallèle reliés à la sortie neutre. Sur ces ponts peuvent être montées une ampoule ou une série d'ampoules. L'animateur en alimentant une sortie allume la ou les séries d'ampoules reliées à cette sortie. L'animateur est pourvu d'une temporisation qui permet, suivant une programmation définie, d'alimenter ou non chacune des sorties alimentées. En réglant la temporisation sur laquelle l'animateur alimente chacune des sorties, l'utilisateur peut par ce fait créer différents effets visuels. L'animateur peut, par exemple, allumer toutes les ampoules en alimentant toutes les sorties. Il peut, par exemple, alimenter alternativement une sortie puis une autre et allumer ainsi une série d'ampoules puis une autre, ce qui crée un effet optique du type chenillard qui donne l'impression que la lumière avance le long de la guirlande lumineuse. Le problème posé que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de diminuer le nombre de fils alimentant la guirlande lumineuse, ce qui présente l'avantage soit de pouvoir diminuer l'épaisseur de la guirlande lumineuse, soit de réduire la distance entre les conducteurs qui composent la guirlande lumineuse, tout en obtenant le même effet lumineux que les guirlandes de l'art antérieur.It is known in the prior art light garlands for creating visual effects. These garlands are fed by animators with several feeding paths. The animator has a neutral output and several outputs supplied with alternating current. On each of these outputs supplied with alternating current are mounted one or more bridges in parallel connected to the neutral output. On these bridges can be mounted a bulb or a series of bulbs. The animator by supplying an output lights the series or series of bulbs connected to this output. The animator is provided with a time delay which allows, according to a defined programming, to power or not each of the powered outputs. By adjusting the time delay on which the animator feeds each of the outputs, the user can thereby create different visual effects. The facilitator can, for example, turn on all the bulbs by supplying power to all the outputs. It can, for example, alternately power one output then another and thus light a series of bulbs and then another, which creates an optical effect of the chase type which gives the impression that light is advancing along the light garland. The problem posed that the invention proposes to solve is to reduce the number of wires supplying the light garland, which has the advantage either of being able to reduce the thickness of the light garland, or of reducing the distance between the conductors which make up the light garland, while obtaining the same light effect as the garlands of the prior art.
Selon l'invention, sur un nombre pair de sorties alimentées de l'animateur sont montées des diodes. Sur un type de sortie est montée une diode dans le sens direct. Sur un autre type de sortie est montée une diode dans le sens inverse. Les deux fils de sortie sur lesquels sont montées une diode dans le sens direct et une diode dans le sens inverse se rejoignent ensuite en un fil commun d'alimentation. Entre ce fil commun d'alimentation et le fil neutre sont ensuite montées en parallèle au moins deux séries d'ampoules. Sur chaque série d'ampoules est montée en série une diode. Sur une série d'ampoules est monté en série une diode dans le sens direct. Sur l'autre série d'ampoules est montée en série une diode dans le sens inverse. Ce montage permet de conserver toutes les variantes d'affichage proposées par un animateur à n voies de sortie alimentées et une phase neutre qui précédemment était reliée à n + 1 fils dans la guirlande lumineuse et qui avec l'invention alimente une guirlande lumineuse disposant d'un nombre de fils inférieur à n+1. L'invention permet donc de diminuer le nombre de fils traversant la guirlande lumineuse par rapport au nombre de voies d'alimentation de l'animateur auxquelles la guirlande lumineuse est reliée.According to the invention, diodes are mounted on an even number of outputs supplied from the animator. A diode in the direct direction is mounted on one type of output. On another type of output is mounted a diode in the opposite direction. The two output wires on which a diode in the forward direction and a diode in the reverse direction are joined then in a common supply wire. Between this common supply wire and the neutral wire are then mounted in parallel at least two sets of bulbs. On each series of bulbs is mounted in series a diode. On a series of bulbs is mounted in series a diode in the direct direction. On the other series of bulbs is mounted in series a diode in the opposite direction. This arrangement makes it possible to keep all the display variants proposed by an animator with n powered output channels and a neutral phase which previously was connected to n + 1 wires in the light chain and which, with the invention, supplies a light chain having '' a number of wires less than n + 1. The invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the number of wires passing through the light garland relative to the number of power supply channels of the animator to which the light garland is connected.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la guirlande lumineuse permet un raccordement en série avec d'autres guirlandes lumineuse. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la longueur totale d'une guirlande lumineuse est multiple d'une unité de guirlande lumineuse. La plus petite longueur de la guirlande lumineuse est nommée unité de guirlande lumineuse. En raccordant à la guirlande lumineuse des unités de guirlande lumineuse il est possible de modifier la longueur de la guirlande lumineuse. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, si toutes les sorties alimentées de l'animateur sont disposées selon l'invention, la longueur de l'unité de guirlande lumineuse peut être divisée par deux par rapport à l'art antérieur.According to a characteristic of the invention, the light garland allows a series connection with other light garlands. According to a characteristic of the invention, the total length of a light garland is multiple of a light garland unit. The smallest length of the light chain is called the light chain unit. By connecting light garland units it is possible to change the length of the light garland. According to a characteristic of the invention, if all the powered outputs of the animator are arranged according to the invention, the length of the light garland unit can be halved compared to the prior art.
L'invention, avec ses caractéristiques et avantages, ressortira plus clairement à la lecture de la description faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:The invention, with its characteristics and advantages, will emerge more clearly on reading the description made with reference to the appended drawings in which:

- la figure 2 représente une vue du montage électrique selon l'art antérieur sur laquelle figure l'animateur à deux sorties alimentées qui alimente deux séries d'ampoules dans une guirlande lumineuse à trois fils - la figure 3 représente une vue d'une guirlande lumineuse constituée de deux unités de guirlande lumineuse- Figure 2 shows a view of the electrical assembly according to the prior art which shows the animator with two powered outputs which feeds two sets of bulbs in a three-wire light garland - Figure 3 shows a view of a light garland consisting of two light garland units
Sur la figure 1 est représenté l'animateur (10) qui est constitué notamment d'un générateur de courant alternatif qui alimente une première sortie d'alimentation (11 ) et une deuxième sortie d'alimentation (12) en courant alternatif. L'animateur (10) est muni d'une temporisation qui permet de réguler l'alimentation ou non des sorties alimentées (11 ,12) suivant une programmation sélectionnée par l'utilisateur. L'animateur est pourvu d'une sortie (13) qui est reliée au neutre. La première sortie alimentée (11 ) est reliée à un fil alimenté (61 ) sur lequel une diode (21 ) est montée en sens direct. La deuxième sortie alimentée (12) est reliée à un fil alimenté (62) sur lequel une diode (22) est montée en sens inverse. Les deux fils alimentés (61 ,62) se rejoignent ensuite sur un fil commun d'alimentation (15) de la guirlande lumineuse (1 ). La guirlande lumineuse (1 ) comprend notamment le fil commun d'alimentation (15) et un fil neutre (18). Le fil neutre (18) est connecté à la sortie neutre (13) de l'animateur (10). Entre le fil commun d'alimentation (15) et le fil neutre (18) sont montés deux ponts (101 , 102). Sur le premier pont (101 ) est constitué en série par une diode (31 ) montée en sens direct et une série d'ampoules (50.1 ). Le deuxième pont (102) est constitué en série par une diode montée en sens inverse (32) et une série d'ampoules (50.2). L'ensemble des fils (18,15,101 ,102) et des ampoules (50.1 ,50.2) peut être logé ou extrudé dans une gaine (60) de protection.In Figure 1 is shown the animator (10) which consists in particular of an alternating current generator which supplies a first supply outlet (11) and a second supply outlet (12) with alternating current. The animator (10) is provided with a time delay which makes it possible to regulate the supply or not of the supplied outputs (11, 12) according to a programming selected by the user. The animator is provided with an output (13) which is connected to the neutral. The first powered outlet (11) is connected to a powered wire (61) on which a diode (21) is mounted in the direct direction. The second powered outlet (12) is connected to a powered wire (62) on which a diode (22) is mounted in reverse. The two supplied wires (61, 62) then meet on a common supply wire (15) of the light garland (1). The light garland (1) comprises in particular the common supply wire (15) and a neutral wire (18). The neutral wire (18) is connected to the neutral output (13) of the animator (10). Between the common supply wire (15) and the neutral wire (18) are mounted two bridges (101, 102). On the first bridge (101) is constituted in series by a diode (31) mounted in the direct direction and a series of bulbs (50.1). The second bridge (102) is formed in series by a diode mounted in opposite directions (32) and a series of bulbs (50.2). The set of wires (18,15,101, 102) and bulbs (50.1, 50.2) can be housed or extruded in a protective sheath (60).
Si l'animateur (10) alimente la première sortie (11) en courant alternatif, alors seules les alternances positives passeront la diode (21 ) pour atteindre le fil commun d'alimentation (15) et le courant ne passera ensuite que dans le premier pont (101 ) puisqu'il sera bloqué dans le deuxième pont (102) par la diode (32) en inverse. Si l'animateur (10) alimente la deuxième sortie (12) en courant alternatif, alors seules les alternances négatives traverseront la diode (22) pour atteindre le fil commun d'alimentation (15). Le courant ne passera ensuite que dans le deuxième pont (102) puisqu'il sera bloqué dans le premier pont (101) par la diode (31 ). L'invention permet donc d'alimenter uniquement une série d'ampoules (50.1 ) disposées sur le premier pont (101 ) en alimentant la première sortie d'alimentation (11). L'invention permet donc d'alimenter uniquement une autre série d'ampoules (50.2) disposées sur le deuxième pont (102) en alimentant la deuxième sortie d'alimentation (12). L'invention permet ainsi d'utiliser un animateur (10) à deux sorties alimentées (11 ,12) et une guirlande lumineuse (1 ) à deux fils (18,15), un fil commun alimenté (15) et un fil neutre (18), tout en conservant toutes les possibilités d'affichage qui étaient offertes par un animateur à deux sorties alimentées et une guirlande lumineuse de l'art antérieur à trois fils qui comprenait deux fils alimentés et un fil neutre. Dans l'objet de pouvoir créer des effets d'optique du chenillard, à l'intérieur de la gaine (60) de protection éventuelle de la guirlande lumineuse (1 ), les ampoules (50.1 ) du premier pont (101 ) sont disposées alternativement avec les ampoules (50.2) du deuxième pont (102) de telle façon que, vues de loin, toutes les ampoules apparaissent sur une ligne et que, suivant le déplacement le long de cette ligne, une ampoule sur deux appartienne au premier pont (101 ) et une ampoule sur deux appartienne au deuxième pont (102). Si l'utilisateur souhaite augmenter la longueur de la guirlande lumineuse (1 ), il apparaît que le fil d'alimentation commun (15) et le fil neutre (18) peuvent être raccordés à une unité de guirlande lumineuse. Cette unité de guirlande lumineuse est constituée par la description faite ci-dessus de la guirlande lumineuse qui est alors composé d'une seule unité de guirlande lumineuse. La figure 3 décrit une guirlande lumineuse composée de deux unités de guirlande lumineuse qui sont raccordées de façon à augmenter la longueur de la guirlande lumineuse.If the animator (10) supplies the first output (11) with alternating current, then only the positive half-waves will pass the diode (21) to reach the common supply wire (15) and the current will then only pass in the first bridge (101) since it will be blocked in the second bridge (102) by the diode (32) in reverse. If the animator (10) supplies the second output (12) with alternating current, then only the negative half-waves will pass through the diode (22) to reach the common supply wire (15). The current will then only pass in the second bridge (102) since it will be blocked in the first bridge (101) by the diode (31). The invention therefore makes it possible to supply only a series of bulbs (50.1) arranged on the first bridge (101) by supplying the first power outlet (11). The invention therefore makes it possible to supply only another series of bulbs (50.2) arranged on the second bridge (102) by supplying the second supply outlet (12). The invention thus makes it possible to use an animator (10) with two powered outputs (11, 12) and a light chain (1) with two wires (18,15), a common powered wire (15) and a neutral wire ( 18), while retaining all the display possibilities which were offered by an animator with two powered outputs and a light garland of the prior art with three wires which included two powered wires and a neutral wire. In the object of being able to create optical effects of the chaser, inside the sheath (60) of possible protection of the light garland (1), the bulbs (50.1) of the first bridge (101) are arranged alternately with the bulbs (50.2) of the second bridge (102) in such a way that, seen from a distance, all the bulbs appear on a line and that, following the movement along this line, one bulb in two belongs to the first bridge (101 ) and one bulb in two belongs to the second deck (102). If the user wishes to increase the length of the light chain (1), it appears that the common supply wire (15) and the neutral wire (18) can be connected to a light chain unit. This light chain unit is constituted by the description given above of the light chain which is then composed of a single light chain unit. FIG. 3 describes a light garland made up of two light garland units which are connected so as to increase the length of the light garland.
Sur la figure 2 est représenté un animateur (10) et une guirlande lumineuse (1 ') selon l'art antérieur. L'animateur présente trois sorties (11 ,12,13). Les première et deuxième sorties (11 ,12) sont alimentées en courant alternatif. La troisième sortie (13) est reliée au neutre. La guirlande lumineuse (1') comprend trois fils (41 ,42,48). Le premier fil (41) est relié à la première sortie alimentée (11 ) de l'animateur (10). Le deuxième fil (42) est relié à la deuxième sortie alimentée (12) de l'animateur (10). Le troisième fil neutre (48) est relié à la sortie neutre (13) de l'animateur (10). Entre le premier fil alimenté (41 ) et le fil neutre (48) est monté un premier groupe (201 ) sur lequel est montée une série d'ampoules. Entre le deuxième fil alimenté (42) et le fil neutre (48) est monté un second groupe (202) sur lequel est montée une série d'ampoules. Si l'animateur alimente la première sortie (11), la série d'ampoules montée sur le premier groupe (201 ) s'allumera. Si l'animateur alimente la deuxième sortie (12), la série d'ampoules montée sur le deuxième groupe (202) s'allumera. De façon traditionnelle, les ampoules du premier groupe (201 ) et les ampoules du deuxième groupe (202) sont montées alternées une à une dans la guirlande lumineuse (1') de façon à permettre de produire un effet chenillard en alimentant alternativement la première sortie (11) et la deuxième sortie (12). Par une temporisation, l'animateur peut ainsi allumer une série d'ampoules ou une autre et ainsi créer un effet visuel. La guirlande lumineuse selon l'art antérieur comporte donc trois fils (41 ,42,48), deux fils alimentés (41 ,42) et un fil neutre (48). Avec des ampoules (50) présentant des caractéristiques identiques et disposées avec le même écart à l'intérieur des guirlandes lumineuses (1 ,1') selon l'art antérieur et selon l'invention, il apparaît que le montage électrique selon l'invention doit, pour une luminosité équivalente, disposer moins d'ampoules sur un pont moins long par rapport au montage électrique de l'art antérieur. En effet la puissance électrique moyenne dissipée par les ponts (101 ,102) sera inférieure à la puissance électrique moyenne dissipée par les groupes (201 ,202) puisque les diodes (31 ,32) ne laisseront passer que sensiblement une moitié du courant généré par l'animateur (10). Dans des conditions équivalentes, l'invention permet donc de proposer des guirlandes lumineuses de taille inférieure aux guirlandes lumineuses de l'art antérieur, tout en gardant les mêmes effets d'animation lumineuse, ce qui présente l'avantage de pouvoir proposer un réglage plus fin de la taille d'une guirlande lumineuse. La figure 3 représente une vue d'une guirlande lumineuse avec deux unités de guirlande lumineuse (1a, 1b) qui sont reliées entre elles par les fils neutres (18a, 18b) et les fils alimentés (15a, 15b) La première unité de guirlande lumineuse (1a) comporte, comme décrit en relation à la figure 1 , deux ponts (101 a, 102a) montés en parallèles. La deuxième unité de guirlande lumineuse (1 b) comporte comme décrit en relation à la figure 1 deux ponts (101b, 102b) montés en parallèle. Pour raccorder deux unités de guirlandes lumineuses (1a, 1 b) il suffit de raccorder le fil commun d'alimentation (15a) de la première guirlande lumineuse (1a) au fil commun d'alimentation (15b) de la deuxième guirlande lumineuse (1 b) et de raccorder le fil neutre (18a) de la première guirlande lumineuse (1 a) au fil neutre (18b) de la deuxième guirlande lumineuse (1 b). L'utilisateur peut ainsi en assemblant plusieurs unités de guirlandes lumineuses obtenir une guirlande lumineuse dont la longueur est multiple de la longueur d'une unité de guirlande lumineuse. En alimentant la première sortie (11 ) les ponts (101 a, 101 ) sur lesquels est montée une diode dans le sens direct seront alimentés. En alimentant la deuxième sortie (12) les ponts (102a, 102b) sur lesquels est montée une diode dans le sens inverse seront alimentés.In Figure 2 is shown an animator (10) and a light garland (1 ') according to the prior art. The facilitator presents three outputs (11, 12, 13). The first and second outputs (11, 12) are supplied with alternating current. The third output (13) is connected to the neutral. The light garland (1 ') comprises three wires (41, 42,48). The first wire (41) is connected to the first powered output (11) of the animator (10). The second wire (42) is connected to the second powered outlet (12) of the animator (10). The third neutral wire (48) is connected to the neutral output (13) of the animator (10). Between the first supplied wire (41) and the neutral wire (48) is mounted a first group (201) on which is mounted a series of bulbs. Between the second powered wire (42) and the wire neutral (48) is mounted a second group (202) on which is mounted a series of bulbs. If the animator feeds the first output (11), the series of bulbs mounted on the first group (201) will light up. If the animator feeds the second output (12), the series of bulbs mounted on the second group (202) will light up. Traditionally, the bulbs of the first group (201) and the bulbs of the second group (202) are mounted alternately one by one in the light garland (1 ') so as to make it possible to produce a chaser effect by alternately supplying the first outlet. (11) and the second outlet (12). By a time delay, the presenter can thus light a series of bulbs or another and thus create a visual effect. The light garland according to the prior art therefore comprises three wires (41, 42, 48), two powered wires (41, 42) and a neutral wire (48). With bulbs (50) having identical characteristics and arranged with the same distance inside the light garlands (1, 1 ') according to the prior art and according to the invention, it appears that the electrical assembly according to the invention must, for an equivalent brightness, have fewer bulbs on a shorter bridge compared to the electrical assembly of the prior art. In fact, the average electric power dissipated by the bridges (101, 102) will be less than the average electric power dissipated by the groups (201, 202) since the diodes (31, 32) will only allow substantially half of the current generated by the animator (10). Under equivalent conditions, the invention therefore makes it possible to propose light garlands of a size smaller than the light garlands of the prior art, while retaining the same light animation effects, which has the advantage of being able to provide more adjustment end of the size of a light garland. FIG. 3 represents a view of a light garland with two light garland units (1a, 1b) which are interconnected by the neutral wires (18a, 18b) and the supplied wires (15a, 15b) The first garland unit light (1a) comprises, as described in relation to Figure 1, two bridges (101a, 102a) mounted in parallel. The second light chain unit (1b) comprises, as described in relation to FIG. 1, two bridges (101b, 102b) mounted in parallel. To connect two light string units (1a, 1b), simply connect the common supply wire (15a) of the first light garland (1a) to the common supply wire (15b) of the second light garland (1b) and connect the neutral wire (18a) of the first light garland (1a) to the neutral wire (18b) of the second light garland (1 b). The user can thus by assembling several units of light garlands obtain a light garland the length of which is multiple of the length of a light garland unit. By supplying the first output (11) the bridges (101 a, 101) on which a diode is mounted in the direct direction will be supplied. By supplying the second output (12), the bridges (102a, 102b) on which a diode is mounted in the opposite direction will be supplied.
