Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an outdoor luminaire including a light engine and a radio frequency transceiver, the radio frequency transceiver being carried by a support structure at a location spaced from the light engine. [Background technology]

[0002] Recent developments are turning existing outdoor luminaires into a connectivity grid. Known solutions are increasing network density in and around cities by turning existing outdoor luminaires into a connectivity grid. These outdoor luminaires are pole mounted and used for street and roadway lighting, etc. This design has been around for decades, but has recently been updated with antennas and radio frequency transceivers for connectivity. It is desirable to improve the performance of these luminaires in terms of communication capabilities, e.g., via internet connectivity, and improved thermal management and / or maintenance.

[0003] WO2014141312A1 discloses a street-type LED luminaire integrated with a telecommunications device.

[0004] US20180045388A1 discloses a street lighting retrofit for providing access to wireless and cellular networks.

[0005] CN208687548U discloses a kind of street lamp type antenna. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an outdoor luminaire suitable for communication, in which at least one of the disadvantages of known outdoor luminaires suitable for communication is overcome. To that end, an outdoor luminaire suitable for communication is provided according to the attached claims. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In a first aspect of the present invention, an outdoor lighting fixture includes: a canopy overlying the luminaire frame and having a canopy enclosure; an optical chamber bounded by the luminaire frame and the light exit window, the optical chamber at least partially housing the light engine; a light engine arranged below the canopy and including an LED light source configured to generate LED light, the light engine including a first heat sink in (direct) thermal contact with the LED light source (and optionally a driver which may be housed somewhere inside the luminaire, e.g. in the optical chamber and / or the canopy enclosure), wherein (in operation) the LED light is emitted as luminaire light from a light exit window; a luminaire axis extending through the center of the canopy and the midpoint of the optical chamber (typically, in an outdoor luminaire installation configuration, the direction from the center toward the midpoint is along the direction of gravity, in this respect meaning that along can deviate from the exact vertical direction of gravity by 10 degrees); an antenna system including one or more antennas for transmitting and / or receiving wireless signals, the antenna system being at least partially disposed within the outdoor lighting fixture (i.e., at least partially disposed in the canopy enclosure and / or optical chamber and may partially protrude from the lighting fixture); a radio frequency transceiver including radio frequency transceiver electronics and a second heat sink in (direct) thermal contact with the radio frequency transceiver, the radio frequency transceiver being communicatively coupled to an antenna system and configured to control transmission of wireless signals transmitted by the antenna system and / or process received wireless signals received by the antenna system; a support for supporting a radio frequency transceiver; Including, A support is attached to the luminaire frame and a radio frequency transceiver is attached to the support, the radio frequency transceiver being at least partially recessed (preferably completely recessed) in the canopy enclosure and positioned at a distance S from the first heat sink.

[0008] Typically, the outdoor luminaire is a street lighting fixture. The primary architecture of an outdoor luminaire is a pole with a "lantern" based design, with an LED light engine located at the top of the lantern above a typically four-sided inverted cone / pyramid shaped exit window, providing light in a downward direction to illuminate the road and / or walkway surrounding the pole. Other convenient shapes of the exit window are circular, elliptical, and hexagonal. The light engine includes an LED light source, typically an LED array, and optics, typically a lens array, for redirecting at least a portion of the LED light emitted by the LED light source. A heat sink, typically with fins on the back side, cools the LED light source. A radio frequency transceiver, also referred to herein as a radio unit, also includes a heat sink, as it provides a significant amount of heat. The term "radio frequency transceiver" can be equally replaced by the terms "wireless module", "radio module" or "combination of transmitter and receiver". The radio unit is covered by a canopy / cover, typically shaped as an inverted cone or pyramid. Preferably, the centre of the radio frequency transceiver is mounted in the canopy recess in the range of 0.3*H to 0.7*H, preferably in the centre of the recess, where H is the height of the canopy recess in the direction of gravity. In an embodiment, H may be at least 20 cm.

[0009] To improve thermal management, the radio unit is raised and spaced from the (heat fins of) the light engine by an open, air spacing with a spacing height S, preferably S is at least 1 cm, preferably at least 2 cm, more preferably at least 3 cm, to have enough space for good airflow and cooling. However, the spacing is preferably at most 10 cm, more preferably at most 8 cm, most preferably at most 6 cm, to avoid the luminaire becoming too wide. For this spacing, typically a legged radio unit support can be used. The support includes a support base, with support legs typically arranged at an angle α to the support base and the radio unit in the lifted position, typically in the range of 10°≦α≦80°, but α may be 90° if α is different from 90°. The support is attached to the (inner surface of) the lantern, typically includes four legs, with a support base above the light engine. In this way, an open structure is obtained so that cooling of the LED engine is guaranteed. In other words, openings are made between the legs to enhance the airflow inside the luminaire, in order to further improve the heat dissipation properties of the outdoor luminaire. Alternatively, the number of support legs may be, for example, 2, 3 or 6, and may be related to or, for example, equal to, the number of antennas.

[0010] For further improved mechanical integrity, the support may have an inner skeleton, e.g., a ring-shaped part (e.g., folded or welded metal part(s)), which is coupled to the luminaire frame. The openings between the legs are typically in the range of 20% to 80% of the total area of ​​the virtual wall of the inner frame formed by the legs to enhance cooling via convection airflow but also provide mechanical stability. Through holes may be made in the legs to increase the opening area and increase the amount of free convection airflow. If the openings occupy less than 20% of the total area of ​​the virtual wall of the inner frame, the free convection airflow may be too low for the desired amount of cooling. However, if the openings exceed 80% of the total area of ​​the virtual wall of the inner frame, the mechanical integrity of the support unit may be lower than desired.

[0011] The legs may include perforations between the legs and the support base to facilitate bending between the legs and the support base, which is particularly desirable when the support unit is a monolithic part, e.g. a metal plate, in which both the support base and the support legs are integrally formed. The support unit is preferably in thermal contact with the canopy, which is typically a molded metal plate such as aluminum, to contribute to cooling of the LED light source and the radio unit. One or more antennas, e.g. four (or more) antennas, may be attached to the support, e.g. the inner skeleton. All antennas have their respective line of sight in a substantially horizontal plane, i.e. may deviate from the exact horizontal plane by no more than 10 degrees. The direction of the line of sight of the antennas is preferably uniform in the (substantially) horizontal plane to allow 360 degree connectivity in the horizontal plane, and therefore are arranged in a specific manner around the horizontal periphery of the frame. Preferably, the antennas together cover at least 300 degrees, e.g. 360 degrees, but the antennas together could cover at least 180 degrees, e.g. two antennas each covering 120-140 degrees, or three antennas together covering 270 degrees.

[0012] The radio unit is at least partially, preferably completely, housed in a recess in the canopy. The canopy is preferably hinged to the top of the luminaire frame to facilitate maintenance of the radio unit and / or the light engine. This maximises the potential of the canopy space. Furthermore, the canopy may be metallic and in (direct) thermal contact with the first and / or second heat sink, preferably via the support.

[0038] 1A shows a side view of the basic structure of a first embodiment of an outdoor lighting fixture 1000 according to the present invention in a closed configuration. The outdoor lighting fixture 1000 includes a canopy 100 resting on a lighting fixture frame 200 and having a canopy enclosure 110. The lighting fixture frame 200, together with a light exit window 210 and a bottom wall 220, encloses an optical chamber 230. A lighting fixture axis 1010 extends through a center 120 of the canopy 100 and a midpoint 240 of the optical chamber 230. When the lighting fixture is in a mounted configuration, i.e., installed, the lighting fixture axis 1010 extends vertically in the direction of gravity, and the direction from the center 120 of the canopy 100 towards the midpoint 240 of the optical chamber 230 is a downward direction.

[0039] FIG 1B shows a perspective view of the basic structure of the outdoor lighting fixture 1000 of FIG 1A in an opened configuration. The canopy 100 is hinged to the lighting fixture frame 200 via hinge 130. The radio frequency transceiver 300 is mounted to a support base 320 of a support 310 and disposed in the canopy enclosure 110.

As shown, the radio frequency transceiver 300 is mounted on the support base 320, which is fixed to the luminaire frame 200 via four support legs 330 and an inner, ring-shaped skeleton 250. The support base 320 and the support legs 330 are monolithic parts, i.e. made integrally from a single metal plate. The interface 360 ​​between the support base 320 and the support legs 330 is provided with perforations 370 to facilitate the shaping of the support 310. Here, the support legs 330 are arranged at an angle α of about 45 degrees with the (plane of) the support base 320.

The radio frequency transceiver 300 is mounted on a support base 320 of a support 310 for placement in a canopy enclosure. The support base 320 is coupled to the luminaire frame 200 via four support legs 330 such that the radio frequency transceiver 300 is spaced apart by a distance S (not shown) from a first heat sink 410 of a light engine 400, said light engine 400 being placed in an optical chamber 230. There are openings 340 between the four support legs 330 and the luminaire frame 200, and the support legs 330 are provided with through holes 350 to allow free (convection) airflow through said distance S between the radio frequency transceiver 300 and the first heat sink 410 of the light engine 400. The antennas 510 (four in number) of the antenna system 500 are mounted on the carrier 333 of the support 310 (see FIG. 3B for details) and are accommodated in the slots 260 of the luminaire frame 200 in such a manner that the radio frequency transceiver 300 together with the support 310 and the antennas 510 are at least partially accommodated when the radio frequency transceiver 300 is installed on the luminaire frame 200 over the light engine 400. The antennas 510 face in four different directions in the horizontal plane P, similar to the four cardinal directions of a compass, i.e., north, east, south and west. In other words, two pairs of antennas 510 are arranged at a mutual angle of 90 degrees in the horizontal plane P, with the antennas 510 of each pair facing in opposite directions (i.e., at a mutual angle of 180 degrees). The radio frequency transceiver 300 is communicatively coupled to the antenna system 500 and configured to control the transmission of wireless signals transmitted by the antenna system 500 and / or process received wireless signals received by the antenna system 500.
