Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of illuminated signage technology, specifically relating to a directional sign with luminous function. Background Technology

[0002] Wayfinding signs, also known as directional signs, guide signs, or signage, are visual communication tools used to provide directional guidance and information in public places, transportation hubs, commercial environments, or other various environments. They are an important component of wayfinding systems, helping people find their destinations quickly and accurately, and improving the recognizability and accessibility of spaces.

[0003] The existing Chinese invention patent with publication number CN104504996B provides a replaceable signboard and its assembly method. It utilizes the cooperation of a base, a snap-fit ​​mechanism, a snap-fit ​​block, and a connecting block to achieve stable installation and disassembly of the signboard on the base. The number of signboards can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0004] In practical use, this type of wayfinding sign, which is arranged layer by layer, can only show the included units, but cannot show the positional relationship between the units or the path information to their location. The directional effect is poor, and it can only be searched one by one on the same floor. In the wayfinding scenarios of circular passages in shopping malls and large markets with many corridors, this kind of wayfinding sign, which can only generally indicate all the included units, cannot quickly indicate the location of the units. Searching one by one is also time-consuming and laborious due to the large number of units. In view of this, a wayfinding sign with an illuminating function is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a wayfinding sign with luminous function.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is:

[0007] A luminous sign includes a frame and a light panel. The upper part of the frame is provided with a title panel, and a light strip with a central bend is embedded in the vertical surface of the frame, as well as a path panel arranged adjacent to the light strip.

[0008] The light strip includes a base shell, an LED light strip is installed inside the base shell, a reference light and a button are installed in sequence in the base shell, and a connecting frame corresponding to the button is installed in sequence along the extension direction of the light strip on the frame surface. The light panel is detachably installed in the connecting frame.

[0009] The connecting frame includes an inverted frame, an movably mounted swing plate at the open end of the inverted frame, a cover plate installed on the vertical outer wall of the inverted frame, a notch provided on the side of the cover plate near the central opening of the inverted frame, a protrusion installed on the lamp plate corresponding to the notch, and the lamp plate being able to slide horizontally in the space enclosed by the inverted frame and the cover plate.

[0010] The path board includes a printed circuit board, on which LED bead one, LED bead two, and LED bead three are soldered and installed. LED bead three corresponds to the reference lamp, and LED bead two corresponds one-to-one with the arrangement order of the lamp board.

[0011] The above technical solution involves installing a light strip on each of the left and right sides of the frame. When illuminated, the light strips form arrow shapes pointing to the left and right. Different light panels are placed adjacent to the light strips to help users distinguish the location of the units corresponding to different light panels. The light strips illuminate the light panels, making the text on the light panels easy to see. A reference light indicates the current location of the wayfinding sign. The arrangement of the light panels is designed according to the actual unit sequence, making it easy for users to determine how many units are between the unit corresponding to the light panel and the location. A path map is formed on the path panel using LED beads one, two, and three. When the button corresponding to a different light panel is pressed, all LED beads between LED bead three and LED bead two corresponding to that light panel light up sequentially, providing a dynamic wayfinding function and more accurate directional guidance, reducing the time required for users to find units.

[0012] Furthermore, the light strip has a hollow arrow-shaped design, the connecting frame is set in the hollow position of the light strip, the reference light is located at the middle bend of the light strip, and the connecting frame is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the reference light.

[0013] With the above technical solution, when used in a circular corridor, the reference light is located in the middle, the light strip is also designed in a ring shape, and the light panels are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the reference light. The farther away from the reference light, the farther away from the current position, making the indication clearer.

[0014] Furthermore, the light strip has a linear strip design, the reference light is located at the end of the light strip, and the connecting frames are arranged sequentially on one side of the reference light.

[0015] With the above technical solution, when used in a one-way corridor, the linear light strip can indicate that the shops are arranged in one direction, and the reference light is located at one end of the light strip. The farther the light panel is from the reference light, the farther away it is from the current position, making the indication clear.

[0016] Furthermore, the light panel includes a housing, a mounting groove with an end opening is formed in the middle of the housing, a through opening is provided on the housing corresponding to the protrusion position, a connecting plate is installed on the end of the protrusion near the mounting groove, and a printing plate is inserted between the end face of the connecting plate near the frame and the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0017] With the above technical solution, a printing plate is inserted into the mounting slot of the light panel. It can be disassembled and replaced to quickly replace different store names. When the store changes, all components except the printing plate can be reused, reducing costs.

[0018] Furthermore, the light strip also includes a buckle plate, which is disposed at the open end of the bottom shell. The buckle plate allows light in the bottom shell to be scattered and transmitted through, and a triangular sticker is attached to the surface of the buckle plate.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, a diffusion film is attached to the surface of the buckle, which makes the brightness of the light strip uniform. The triangular sticker uses a filter film to allow only red light to pass through, producing a red triangle on the white light strip, which can more clearly indicate the direction of travel, so as to more clearly indicate how to get from the reference light (location) to the corresponding light panel (target store).

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting frame also includes an extension strip, and the extension strip and the bottom shell have a central hole at the button position. The extension strip is installed on the C-shaped frame near the light strip, and the buckle plate has a notch at the position corresponding to the extension strip. The extension strip, the C-shaped frame and the protrusion allow light to pass through their interiors.

[0021] The above technical solution utilizes the light emitted by the LED strips in the light strip to guide some light out from the gap, and then transmits it directly to the light panel through the extension strip, the C-shaped frame and the protrusion, thus illuminating the light panel that does not have a light-emitting function, reducing the light wiring at the light panel, and also achieving the effect of lighting the light panel.

[0022] Furthermore, the extension strip is provided with a smooth surface one at the notch, the shaped frame is provided with a smooth surface two at the protrusion, and the extension strip and the shaped frame are provided with a light-shielding layer on the remaining outer surfaces except for smooth surface one and smooth surface two. The contact surface between the protrusion and smooth surface two is a light-transmitting surface.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, except for the smooth surface one and the smooth surface two, the remaining outer surfaces are provided with a light-shielding layer, which can reduce the loss of light. The smooth surface one, the smooth surface two, and the light-transmitting surface of the protrusion can guide the light smoothly to the lamp board and improve the brightness of the lamp board.

[0024] Furthermore, the C-shaped frame has a straight groove on one side of the protrusion, and a supplementary light is installed in the straight groove. The supplementary light is connected in series with the LED light strip.

[0025] By using the above technical solution, a supplementary light is installed on the side of the C-shaped frame facing the light panel, which can illuminate the position of the light panel and make it easier for users to see the content of the light panel in low-light spaces.

[0026] Furthermore, the path board also includes a protective plate, which covers the surface of the printed circuit board, and the protective plate has observation holes corresponding to LED bead one, LED bead two, and LED bead three.

[0027] The above technical solution uses an opaque protective plate to cover the printed circuit board, making it more aesthetically pleasing. The observation hole allows light from LED beads one, two, and three to pass through, facilitating user observation of the dynamic circuit.

[0028] Furthermore, the frame includes a main body, the surface of which has a receiving groove, and the light strip, connecting frame and path plate are respectively embedded in the receiving groove, and a prompt box is provided at the lower part of the main body.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the main body adopts a frame structure with vertical surface openings to accommodate grooves, providing three-dimensional installation space for light strips, connecting frames and path plates. The main body can be installed on the ground for easy viewing. The prompt box is set at the bottom, where usage prompts can be written, making it convenient for users to use the dynamic wayfinding function normally.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) The present invention uses light strips and light panels. When the light strips are lit, they form an arrow shape pointing to both sides. The light panels corresponding to each unit are arranged on one side of the light strip in the corresponding direction, which makes it easy for users to distinguish the location of the shops corresponding to different light panels. The arrangement of the reference light and the light panels on the light strip is designed according to the actual arrangement order, indicating the positional relationship between the shops corresponding to the light panels and the location. The indication is accurate and clear.

[0032] (2) The present invention uses a button and a path board design. The button is arranged on the light strip to indicate the arrangement position of the light board on the light strip. Pressing the button can light up the lamp beads on the path board. A dynamic path map from its own position to the target store can be generated on the planar map composed of lamp beads, which plays a dynamic wayfinding function, provides more accurate guidance, and reduces the time required for users to find the store.

[0033] (3) By optimizing the connecting frame, the connecting frame has an opening on one side and a notch is provided to cooperate with the equidistantly arranged protrusions on the light board, which can facilitate the detachable installation of the light board. In scenarios where supplementary lighting is required, the extension strip and the C-shaped frame can guide the light from the light strip to the position of the light board for supplementary lighting. In scenarios where the ambient brightness is low, the content of the inkjet board in the light board is clearly visible. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0049] like Figures 1-13 As shown, this embodiment provides a directional sign with luminous function, see reference. Figure 2 The existing signage consists of a frame 1 and light panels 4. The light panels 4 display the name of the organization. All light panels 4 are arranged together on the surface of the frame 1, which has a flat surface for this layer. Figure 9 The system can indicate the location of a unit on the floor plan. Furthermore, the upper part of frame 1 has a title board 2 that can indicate information such as the floor height or unit type, for example: F1 Catering. However, this static indication method lacks clear distinction in the location of the light board 4, making the floor plan indistinct. Figure 9 It fails to highlight the capabilities of any particular unit and provides poor guidance.

[0050] Therefore, in response to the problems existing in the current signage, specific improvements are proposed, referring to... Figure 1 A light strip 3 with a central bend is embedded in the vertical surface of the frame 1, and a path plate 7 is arranged adjacent to the light strip 3.

[0051] Regarding LED strip 3, please refer to... Figure 1 There are two light strips 3, pointing to the left and right sides respectively. The light strip 3 includes a base shell 32, and an LED light strip 34 is installed inside the base shell 32. The LED light strip 34 can emit light to form a more eye-catching arrow. The surface of the frame 1 is sequentially equipped with connecting frames 6 corresponding to buttons 5 along the extension direction of the light strip 3. The light panels 4 are detachably installed in the connecting frames 6. The light panels 4 corresponding to units in different directions can be arranged in the two corresponding light strip 3 positions. The units on the left and right sides are divided into two parts according to the direction, reducing the difficulty for users to find. The base shell 32 is equipped with reference lights 31 and buttons 5 arranged in sequence. The reference lights 31 indicate the location of the wayfinding sign, while the buttons 5 are arranged on the light strip 3 according to the distance from the actual unit to the wayfinding sign. The buttons 5 are red, which can more clearly indicate the position and distance of different units to the wayfinding sign, further facilitating users to determine the approximate location of the unit they are looking for.

[0052] Regarding path board 7, refer to... Figure 13The path guide board 7 includes a printed circuit board 71, which provides soldering positions. The positional relationship between the soldering positions is designed according to the positional relationship between actual units. LED beads 1 72, 2 73, and 3 75 are soldered and mounted on the printed circuit board 71 to form a planar path guide board. LED bead 3 75 corresponds to the reference LED 31, and LED bead 2 73 corresponds one-to-one with the arrangement sequence of the LED boards 4. When the button 5 corresponding to the LED board 4 is pressed, the button 5 includes a tactile switch 51 and an end cap 52. When the cap 52 is activated, the touch switch 51 will generate an electrical signal, which will be transmitted to the lighting controller. The lighting controller will then light up the corresponding LED 73 on the light panel 4. At the same time, the lighting controller will also light up the LED 72 and LED 73 between the LED 75 and the LED 73 in sequence according to the preset control circuit. That is, it indicates the specific path from the current location to the corresponding unit. By using the dynamic guidance function of the light, the specific location and path to the unit to be found can be indicated more quickly and accurately.

[0053] It should be noted that, to enable the detachable installation of the light panel 4, a specific configuration is provided. Regarding the connecting frame 6, refer to... Figure 10 and Figure 11 The connecting frame 6 includes a U-shaped frame 62. A swing plate 63 is movably installed at the open end of the U-shaped frame 62. The U-shaped frame 62 has an opening on one side. Lifting the swing plate 63 forward can open the opening of the U-shaped frame 62. A cover plate 64 is installed on the vertical outer wall of the U-shaped frame 62. A notch 65 is provided on the side of the cover plate 64 near the opening in the middle of the U-shaped frame 62. A protrusion 44 is installed on the lamp plate 4 corresponding to the notch 65. During installation, the lamp plate 4 can slide horizontally in the space enclosed by the U-shaped frame 62 and the cover plate 64. At this time, the lamp plate 4 can be smoothly installed in the U-shaped frame 62. At the opening position, the protrusion 44 passes through the notch 65 and enters the U-shaped frame 62. During the sliding process, the protrusion 44 slides horizontally and can be offset from the notch 65. At this time, the cover plate 64 will press the protrusion 44 and the connected lamp plate 4 into the U-shaped frame 62. Finally, the swing plate 63 is swung backward to reset. At this time, the swing plate 63 will press against the end of the lamp plate 4, fixing the position of the lamp plate 4 and completing the installation. The operation is convenient and quick. When disassembling, first lift the end of the swing plate 63 forward, and then the lamp plate 4 can be moved horizontally so that the protrusion 44 can be dislodged from the notch 65 position, completing the disassembly.

[0054] In a further embodiment, when used in a circular connecting corridor, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The frame 1 is positioned at the intersection of the three branches of the circular corridor. The light strip 3 has a hollow arrow-shaped design, and the circular structure formed by the light strips 3 roughly corresponds to the path of the circular corridor. The connecting frame 6 is set in the hollow position of the light strip 3. The light strip 3 frames the light panel 4, which more clearly indicates that the unit corresponding to the light panel 4 is in that direction. The light panels 4 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the reference light 31 according to the actual position relationship between the unit and its location. The farther away from the reference light 31, the farther away from the current location, making the indication clearer. The reference light 31 is located at the middle bend of the light strip 3. The reference light 31 is located in the middle position, which facilitates the arrangement of the light panels 4 on the upper and lower sides. The connecting frame 6 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the reference light 31. With the button 5 on the light strip 3, the positional relationship between the light panels 4 can be indicated, which makes it easier for the user to determine the distance from the unit corresponding to the light panel 4 to its current location.

[0055] In a further embodiment, when used in a one-way corridor, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The frame 1 is located at the intersection of the three branches of the T-shaped corridor. The light strip 3 is designed in a linear strip shape. There are two light strips 3. The button 5 corresponding to the shop on the left is located on the left light strip 3. Similarly, the button 5 corresponding to the shop on the right is located on the right light strip 3, which makes it easy for users to quickly distinguish directions. The reference light 31 is located at the end of the light strip 3. The light panels 4 are arranged in a single row. Together with the linear light strip 3, they can indicate that the shops in that direction are arranged in a unidirectional manner. The farther the light panel 4 is from the reference light 31, the farther away it is from the current position. The connecting frame 6 is arranged in a single row on one side of the reference light 31, which makes the indication clear.

[0056] In a further embodiment, to further improve the component utilization rate of the lamp panel 4, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The light panel 4 includes a housing 41, with a mounting groove 47 having an end opening in the middle of the housing 41. The housing 41 has a through opening 43 corresponding to the position of the protrusion 44. A connecting plate 45 is installed on the end of the protrusion 44 near the mounting groove 47. A printing plate 42 is inserted between the end face 46 of the connecting plate 45 near the frame 1 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 47. The printing plate 42 is inserted into the mounting groove 47 of the light panel 4 and can be disassembled and replaced to quickly replace different store names. When the store is changed, all components except the printing plate 42 can be reused to reduce costs.

[0057] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 7The light strip 3 also includes a buckle plate 33, which is located at the open end of the bottom shell 32. The bottom shell 32 opens forward, and a diffusion film is attached to the surface of the buckle plate 33 to ensure uniform brightness of the light strip 3. The buckle plate 33 allows light from the bottom shell 32 to scatter and pass through. A triangular sticker 36 is attached to the surface of the buckle plate 33. The triangular sticker 36 uses a light filter film to allow only red light to pass through, producing a red triangle on the white light strip 3, which can more clearly indicate the direction of travel. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the ring-shaped light strip 3, the pointed ends of the triangular stickers 36 on the upper half face upwards, while the pointed ends of the triangular stickers 36 on the lower half face downwards. The upper triangular stickers 36 indicate the direction of the shops adjacent to frame 1, while the lower triangular stickers 36 indicate the direction of the shops opposite the atrium area. The light strip 3 without triangular stickers 36 corresponds to the corridor area in the middle of the ring-shaped corridor without shops. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reference light 31 is located at the top of the linear light strip 3. The triangular stickers 36 on the light strip 3 all point downwards, indicating that the shops in that direction are arranged in sequence according to the direction of the triangular stickers 36. The design of the triangular stickers 36 can more clearly indicate how to reach the corresponding light panel 4 (target shop) from the reference light 31 (location).

[0058] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 To reduce the wiring difficulty and cost at the light panel 4, the connecting frame 6 also includes an extension strip 61. The extension strip 61 and the bottom shell 32 have a central hole 66 corresponding to the button 5. The LED light strip 34 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom shell 32, avoiding the central hole 66. The button 5 passes through the bottom shell 32 through the central hole 66 without affecting the normal installation of the LED light strip 34. Utilizing the light emission of the LED light strip 34 in the light strip 3, the extension strip 61 is installed on the inverted frame 62 near the light strip 3. The buckle plate 33 has a notch 35 corresponding to the position of the extension strip 61. The extension strip 61 leads some light out from the notch 35. The extension strip 61, the inverted frame 62 and the protrusion 44 allow light to pass through their interior and be directly transmitted to the light panel 4 through the extension strip 61, the inverted frame 62 and the protrusion 44, illuminating the light panel 4 which does not have a light emission function. This reduces the light wiring at the light panel 4 and also achieves the effect of illuminating the light panel 4.

[0059] In a further embodiment, to reduce light loss during transmission, refer to Figure 8The extension strip 61 is provided with a smooth surface 67 at the notch 35, and the C-shaped frame 62 is provided with a smooth surface 69 at the protrusion 44. Except for the smooth surface 67 and the smooth surface 69, the other outer surfaces are provided with a light-shielding layer to reduce the loss of light. The contact surface between the protrusion 44 and the smooth surface 69 is a light-transmitting surface. The smooth surface 67, the smooth surface 69 and the light-transmitting surface of the protrusion 44 can allow light to pass through smoothly and guide it to the lamp panel 4, reduce the loss in the path and improve the brightness of the lamp panel 4.

[0060] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 9 The surface of the C-shaped frame 62 corresponding to the protrusion 44 is provided with a straight groove. A supplementary light 68 is provided on the side of the C-shaped frame 62 facing the light panel 4. The supplementary light 68 is connected in series with the LED light strip 34. The supplementary light 68 can illuminate the position of the light panel 4, making it easier for users to see the contents of the light panel 4 in low-brightness spaces. It is suitable for scenarios with low brightness and requirements for supplementary light brightness.

[0061] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 13 The path board 7 also includes a protective plate 74. The protective plate 74 is made of an opaque material. The protective plate 74 covers the surface of the printed circuit board 71, shielding the printed circuit board 71 for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The protective plate 74 has observation holes corresponding to LED 1 72, LED 2 73 and LED 3 75. The observation holes allow light from LED 1 72, LED 2 73 and LED 3 75 to pass through, making it convenient for users to observe the dynamic circuit.

[0062] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The frame 1 includes a main body 11, which adopts a frame structure with a vertical surface opening for receiving grooves 12. The light strip 3, connecting frame 6 and path plate 7 are respectively embedded in the receiving grooves 12. The main body 11 can be installed on the ground, making it convenient for users to stand up and view directly. The lower part of the main body 11 is provided with a prompt box 8. The prompt box 8 is set at the bottom and can be used to write usage prompts, such as: follow the direction indicated by the arrow, press the red button to indicate the actual path, etc., so that users can understand the rules more quickly and use the dynamic wayfinding function of the wayfinding sign normally.

[0063] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0064] When used in shopping malls, the signage frame 1 is fixed at intersections in a position that does not obstruct pedestrians. An LED strip 3 is installed on each of the left and right sides of the frame 1. When lit, the LED strip 3 forms an arrow shape pointing to the left and right. The corresponding LED panels 4 for each unit on the left and right sides are installed adjacent to the LED strip 3 in the corresponding direction, making it easy for users to distinguish the location of the shops corresponding to different LED panels 4. A reference light 31 indicates the current location of the signage. The LED panels 4 are arranged on the LED strip 3 according to the actual shop layout. The LED strip 3 serves as a path, roughly indicating the location relationship between the shops corresponding to the LED panels 4 and their current location. Simultaneously, the LED strip 3 can transmit light from the LED strip 34 through the C-shaped frame 62 to illuminate the LED panels 4, or it can connect with supplementary lights 68 in series to directly illuminate the LED panels 4, making it easier for users to see the text on the LED panels 4, as the LED strip 3 is linear. Unlike actual paths, in scenarios where the path is not straight, users may not be able to intuitively determine the specific route to the store. On the path board 7, LED beads 1 (72), 2 (73), and 3 (75) are used to create a light path map proportional to the actual floor plan. LED bead 1 (72) is a linear light strip, while LED beads 2 (73) and 3 (75) are circular LED beads. LED bead 1 (72) is arranged according to the direction of the connecting corridor to represent the corridor, while LED beads 2 (73) and 3 (75) represent the location and the store's position on the corridor. At this point, users can press the button 5 on the corresponding light board 4 for the desired store. After pressing the button 5 on different light boards 4, all the LED beads between LED bead 3 (75) and the corresponding LED bead 2 (73) on different light boards 4 will light up sequentially, forming a bright, dynamic route map. This provides dynamic wayfinding, offering more accurate directional guidance and reducing the time users need to find the store.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
