Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation technology, specifically to a fluorescent strip for use in aircraft cabin passageways. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorescent strips in aircraft cabins are key safety markers. Made of special fluorescent materials, they can absorb and store light energy under normal light conditions. When a sudden emergency occurs and the light becomes dim, they will emit light on their own. They are placed in prominent locations, such as the edges of aisles and next to seat armrests, to clearly guide passengers and crew members to evacuate in the dark and help them evacuate quickly and safely.
[0003] Traditional indicator strips use fluorescent lamps, which require two ends to be connected to a light source device to emit light. While this design can achieve good brightness, it is complex in structure, expensive, consumes a lot of electricity, is prone to damage, and has high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fluorescent strip for use in aircraft cabin passageways to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fluorescent strip for aircraft cabin passageways, comprising:
[0006] Protective casing, fluorescent strip, and connecting plate;
[0007] The fluorescent strip is disposed in the protective shell, and the connecting plate is disposed at the bottom of the protective shell. The connecting plate is used to set the protective shell on a plane.
[0008] Preferably, the protective shell is hollow and is used to connect with the fluorescent strip.
[0009] Preferably, the protective housing has reflectors on both sides for reflecting the fluorescent strip, and the top of the protective housing has a dome.
[0010] Preferably, the protective shell has a mounting groove, the size of which matches the outer dimension of the fluorescent strip.
[0011] Preferably, the height of the hollow space inside the protective shell is greater than the thickness of the fluorescent strip.
[0012] Preferably, the reflectors are disposed on both sides of the mounting groove, arranged in a mirror image.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The fluorescent strip for aircraft cabin passageways has a hollow protective shell that fits the fluorescent strip, protecting it from physical damage and extending its lifespan. The mounting slot matches the size of the fluorescent strip and provides reserved space, ensuring that the fluorescent strip is installed securely and its light emission is not affected by compression. The mounting slot provides a stable mounting position for the fluorescent strip, preventing displacement from affecting its light emission. The dome design plays an important role; its curved surface diffuses light, allowing the fluorescence to be evenly distributed in the cabin, improving visibility and clarity. At the same time, the dome is pressure-resistant, able to withstand the external force of people stepping on it, dispersing pressure, preventing damage to the fluorescent strip, and maintaining its emergency guidance function. The reflectors on both sides enhance fluorescence reflection, making the light brighter and travel farther, making it easily noticeable in a dimly lit cabin, improving the effectiveness and reliability of guiding passengers to evacuate. Existing emergency lights may be damaged during emergency landings, affecting emergency lighting. However, after changing to fluorescent strips, such situations will not occur, providing strong support for aviation safety. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: a fluorescent strip for aircraft cabin passageways, comprising: a protective shell 1, a fluorescent strip 2, and a connecting plate 3. The protective shell 1 protects the fluorescent strip 2, preventing damage from passengers stepping on it when it is installed on the aircraft passageway. The fluorescent strip 2 is housed within the protective shell 1 and is made of strontium aluminate coated and cut. Existing emergency lights may fail during emergency landings, affecting emergency lighting. However, by using the fluorescent strip 2, this problem is avoided. The cut dimensions match the hollow dimensions of the protective shell 1. The protective shell 1 encloses... The protective shell 1, made of transparent PC material, covers the fluorescent strip 2, ensuring light transmittance and clear, natural color. PC material is also flame-retardant and pressure-resistant, and the selected PC material has a light transmittance of over 90%, protecting the fluorescent strip 2 without affecting its luminescence. A connecting plate 3 is located at the bottom of the protective shell 1. The connecting plate 3 is an adhesive plate that secures the protective shell 1 to the carpet seams at the bottom of the aircraft aisle. The thickness of the protective shell 1 and the connecting plate 3 is flush with the carpet, ensuring that guests will not trip over uneven surfaces. The protective shell 1 is used to ensure the connecting plate 3 is on a flat surface.
[0019] Its fluorescent strip 2 is made of strontium aluminate coating and cut to have long afterglow luminescence characteristics. Under normal lighting, it absorbs and stores light energy. When the light source disappears, the electrons return to the ground state and release energy to produce fluorescence. The protective shell 1 is a transparent plastic shell made of PC material, which not only protects the fluorescent strip 2 from damage such as being stepped on by passengers, but also ensures light transmittance so that the fluorescence can pass through normally. The connecting plate 3 acts as an adhesive plate to fix the protective shell 1 to the carpet gap at the bottom of the aircraft aisle. The thickness of both is the same as that of the carpet to avoid uneven ground and keep the fluorescent strip 2 in a stable working position. In emergency dim lighting, the fluorescence emitted by the strip can pass through the protective shell 1 to provide clear guidance for passengers and crew in the aisle and help with safe evacuation.
[0020] The protective shell 1 is hollow, designed to house the fluorescent strip 2. This ensures the shell completely encloses the strip, providing comprehensive protection and preventing accidental breakage that could result in uneven light emission. The shell is positioned near the light source to ensure the strip reflects light onto the light source for connection. Two reflectors 12 are located on either side of the protective shell 1, with the side facing the strip being the reflective surface. These reflectors concentrate the light emitted from the strip upwards, enhancing its illumination. A dome 11 is located at the top of the protective shell 1, its arc shape fitting snugly onto the top of the strip 2. The arc disperses the light from the strip, allowing for better visibility and enhancing the shell's resistance to pressure. The protective shell 1 is designed to withstand foot traffic without collapsing. The pressure caused the fluorescent strip 2 to break, thus extending the lifespan of the device. A mounting groove 13 is provided in the protective housing 1, the width of which matches the width of the fluorescent strip 2. This ensures that the fluorescent strip 2 will not wobble when placed in the mounting groove 13. This design prevents the fluorescent strip 2 from detaching or deforming due to impact, effectively protecting it. The dimensions of the mounting groove 13 match the outer dimensions of the fluorescent strip 2. The height of the hollow space inside the protective housing 1 is greater than the thickness of the fluorescent strip 2. This design ensures sufficient space between the fluorescent strip 2 and the dome 11, allowing the reflector 12 to reflect the light from the fluorescent strip 2 onto the dome 11. The reflector 12 is positioned on both sides of the mounting groove 13, mirror-image opposite each other. This arrangement effectively collects the light source illuminating the bottom of the fluorescent strip 2, increasing its brightness.
[0021] The fluorescent strip 2 is made of strontium aluminate coated and cut. Under normal lighting, it absorbs light energy using its long afterglow emission characteristics, causing internal electrons to transition from low energy levels to high energy levels to store energy. When the ambient light disappears, the electrons return to the low energy level, releasing photons and producing fluorescence. The protective shell 1 is hollow and houses the fluorescent strip 2. Its PC material ensures light transmittance so that the fluorescence can pass through normally, while also preventing damage such as being stepped on by customers. The reflectors 12 on both sides concentrate and reflect the light from the bottom of the fluorescent strip 2 upwards to the top dome 11. The dome 11 is... The arc shape not only disperses light for easy passenger observation but also enhances the pressure resistance of the fluorescent strip 2. The mounting groove 13 matches the size of the fluorescent strip 2 to prevent it from being detached or deformed by impact. The internal space design of the protective shell 1 ensures that the reflector 12 reflects light onto the dome 11. The bottom connecting plate 3 acts as an adhesive plate, fixed to the gap of the aircraft aisle carpet and level with the carpet thickness, so that the fluorescent strip 2 is stably in the working position. In emergency dim lighting conditions, it provides clear guidance for passengers and crew in the aisle to achieve safe evacuation.
