TECHNICAL FIELD An apparatus for replacing a modularized street lighting fixture disposed on a street lighting pole, the modularized street lighting fixture comprising a light source and a housing, the housing comprising a second coupling device and a second coupling device. mounting of the street lighting luminaire via the first coupling device, the device for replacing the modularized street lighting luminaire comprising an arm mounted on a transport unit.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND Replacement of lamps in street lighting luminaires traditionally takes place by a person being hoisted up to the street lighting luminaire in a skylift or similar, which is problematic from several aspects.
The most obvious are the risks to which the person performing this operation is exposed as the work is carried out at a high altitude. Work at a high altitude is regulated in accordance with the Work Environment Act. Another problem with having staff raised at high altitudes near street lighting poles is that in cases where they occur near overhead lines, there is an additional significant risk as overhead lines are often uninsulated, and thus life-threatening to come into contact with.
In addition to the work being carried out at a high altitude, work with street lighting poles in particular entails additional problems as these are not completely fixed. The stresses street lighting poles are exposed to due to winds and wind, as well as the fact that they are very high and that the street lighting fixtures often have a significant weight in Or they sway to nature. This meant that the 2 street lighting pole itself in many cases can not function as a ski at e.g. replacement of street lighting fixtures.
In addition, the operation, when the replacement of the lighting unit / lamp or the entire street lighting luminaire is carried out, takes a relatively long time as the person performing the work must be hoisted down between each operation, while the skylift or similar must be moved between the street lighting poles. In most cases, the skylift, or the like, must be run on the lane or similar that the street lighting is intended to illuminate. This unit is often very slow and takes up space on the carriageway, something that is problematic when the skylift or the like, and even the person who performs the work and who has to move between the skylift and the driver plastic, risks becoming pakOrd. It is especially dangerous for personnel if the stationary skylift or similar becomes a package in a raised position. In addition, the presence of the skylift can mean that the traffic and traffic rhythm are negatively affected, which can increase the risk of other traffic accidents.
In order to minimize the operation's impact on traffic, the work is carried out with advantage in the evening and at night, something that is not always preferable from the point of view of the performing staff.
All this Or that the time it takes to replace the lighting unit / lamp, or the entire street lighting luminaire, should be kept to an absolute minimum.
The publications that occur today mostly deal with solutions, all of which are based on the principle of lowering the entire street lighting luminaire in one way or another, or only the part of the street lighting luminaire where the lighting unit / lamp is mounted, to ground level. None of these techniques have, however, had any major impact, e.g. due to the fact that these techniques often meant that relatively advanced mechanical solutions had to be used, which is a problem when units for street lighting with associated street lighting luminaires have to withstand very harsh water conditions and last for a very long time. Also for solutions according to this principle, the time it takes to carry out the replacement of the lighting unit / lamp or the entire street lighting luminaire is also a problem.
In addition to this, the state of the art today shows that work Ors to address the problems mentioned above, among other things through various readings to easily access the lighting unit / lamp, in order to thereby replace it in a quick and easy way, and by modularizing the street lighting fixture so that this can be replaced as a unit, something that also means that the exchange can be carried out in a quick and easy way. Both of these methods are treated, for example, in JP10092212.
Both of these approaches are useful for reducing the time required when replacing the lighting unit / lamp or the entire street lighting fixture, but there is still much that can be improved. Above all, none of these approaches solves the problem that the work must still be performed by a person performing the work at high altitude.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a device for replacing modularized street lighting fixtures, hereinafter referred to as 'the device' or 'the device for replacing modularized street lighting fixtures'. A modularized street lighting fixture is mounted on a street lighting pole, the modularized street lighting fixture comprising a light source and a housing. The housing comprises a first coupling device and the spirit of the street lighting post has a second coupling device for fastening the street lighting fixture via the first coupling device. The device for replacing modularized street lighting luminaires comprises at least one arm connected to a transport unit. The device is characterized in that it comprises at least one manoeuvrable robot, arranged on the arm, comprising a robot arm and a gripping device where the gripping device is adapted to remove and replace street lighting luminaires. The arm, the robot, the robot arm 4 and the gripping device are operated via remote control from the transport unit, Iran remotely or via a pre-programmed process. In some embodiments, the transport unit can also be operated via remote control remotely or from another vehicle.
The street lighting luminaire often sits many meters above ground level, which is why this device enables the entire operation, including the replacement of street lighting luminaires, to be carried out on the ground without the person having to be hoisted up. This entailed a number of advantages, e.g. this eliminates the risks the person who would otherwise have needed to be hoisted up otherwise would have been exposed to.
By modularized street lighting luminaire is meant a lighting unit comprising e.g. the holly and the light skull. The light source, which may consist of one or more lighting units / lamp units, may, for example, be in the form of an LED lamp, LED, discharge lamp, metal halide lamp ceramic metal halide lamp, high pressure sodium lamp, plasma lamp, induction lamp or other type of lighting. The light source is suitably arranged in a base mounted at the housing and which can be connected directly or indirectly to the second coupling device at the street lighting pole through the first coupling device. The second coupling device may also comprise a base which matches the base of the light source or with a corresponding part of the first coupling device. The first coupling device and the second coupling device serve at least two purposes, one purpose is to connect and attach the modularized street lighting fixture to the street lighting pole and the other purpose is to connect staff 'to the light source. The sockets comprise connectors for power supply to the light source from an electrical network via a cable pulled through the street lighting pole.
The cover is shaped to protect the light source from the wind and wind, and arranged to direct the light from the light source in the desired direction. The cover may thus comprise at least a flake of the components: a reflector, a prism or may consist of a fully or partially light-transmissive material extending completely or partially around the cover and / or a non-light-transmissive part whose primary purpose is to protect the light source. The housing can thank all or part of the street lighting luminaire. The street lighting luminaire may include additional components such as technology for utilizing the energy in wind power, solar cells, batteries, power reducers or various arrangements and devices for protecting and / or operating the street lighting luminaire. Various types of sensors, preferably designed to turn on and / or dim the street lighting, may also be included. Street lighting fixtures with associated street lighting poles have been exposed to very harsh conditions, all year round and for a very long time.
Furthermore, the actuators of the street lighting luminaire can both be included in the street lighting luminaire, which means that the actuators are detached in connection with the device for replacing a modularized street lighting fixture disassembling existing street lighting fixtures, and that a new actuator is mounted in connection with a new street lighting fixture. the second coupling device, arranged on the street lighting pole, which means that the drives are not disassembled in connection with the device for replacing a modularized street lighting fixture dismantling existing street lighting fixtures, without the new street lighting fixture being mounted using the same drive. The first of the two embodiments gives the advantage that in this embodiment the actuators can also be replaced in a simple and flexible manner.
By actuator is meant a device comprising electrical devices for primarily turning on and off the lamp, but may also include electrical devices for regulating the brightness. An actuator typically includes a coil, igniter, capacitor and other devices which circulate in electrical circuits. As mentioned above, the second switching device is located on the street lighting pole, which is connected to the first switching device which is included in the street lighting fixture. When the street lighting fixture is replaced, it is this coupling that is disconnected, and when a new street lighting fixture is installed, it is connected by connecting the first coupling device of the new street lighting fixture to the second coupling device of the street lighting pole, the first coupling device socket being connected to the second socket. via an elnat.
A robot is arranged on the arm. The robot may comprise at least one gripping device arranged on a robot arm, wherein the robot may be arranged on the arm, the arm being articulated and manoeuvrable in at least the flag direction. The robot arm can be arranged on the robot, the robot arm being articulated and manoeuvrable in at least the flag direction. Furthermore, the gripping device can be arranged on the robot arm, the gripping device also being articulated and manoeuvrable in at least some direction. This means that the robot, the robot arm and the gripping device can be positioned according to the position on the street lighting pole and the luminaire where the robot is to operate. The robot can also be arranged directly on the transport unit and at least one gripping device, alternatively gripping device with robot arm, can also be arranged directly on the arm.
The replacement of the street lighting luminaire can take place either by replacing the street lighting luminaire with a new street lighting luminaire, the same street lighting luminaire system or the said street lighting luminaire will be replaced at the same time as a new street lighting luminaire system is introduced. In the latter case, the street lighting pole is cut in such a way that the street lighting luminaire can be removed. Then a new second coupling device is arranged at the street lighting pole for future connection with the new street lighting fixture via the first coupling device. This can be done slightly by arranging a second switching device on the cut street lighting pole, or by arranging a street lighting fixture whose first switching device is connected to a second switching device, on the cut street lighting pole.
Existing street lighting luminaires can in some embodiments also be removed in other ways by cutting, e.g. by unscrewing the luminaire from the street lighting pole, pulling off the Iran street lighting pole or otherwise removing it compatible with the existing street lighting luminaire system.
Possible methods for cutting or removing a component from a preferably rudder-shaped installation constituting the street lighting pole have been in place since before. Also other street lighting luminaire systems than those described above, including the modularized street lighting luminaire, can be arranged on the e.g. cut the street lighting pole. In these cases, another type of street lighting fixture can be used.
Mounting of a new second coupling device on a cut post, or a post from which existing existing street lighting fixture has been removed, or another type of street lighting fixture can be made by screwing a second coupling device or other type of street lighting fixture, pushing over the post, pressing on or according to another method or technique which means that a second coupling device or other type of street lighting luminaire is fixed on or above the street lighting pole.
According to a first example, the replacement of the street lighting luminaire takes place by maneuvering the transport unit to a suitable position at the street lighting pole by a driver. During the transport layer, the robot can be loaded with a new modularized street lighting luminaire to replace the old one, or the robot can be loaded with a new modularized street lighting luminaire before the arm is maneuvered into position to the street lighting pole. The street lighting luminaires can be provided with means for controlling and positioning the gripping device to the street lighting luminaire, so that the latter can be easily gripped by the gripping device.
With a charged robot, the driver or another designated person then maneuvers the arm to the appropriate height and position by remote control. The robot is then controlled in such a way that the gripping device (s) come into position to be able to mount the old modularized street lighting luminaire and mount it on the new modularized street lighting luminaire. Also in this step, means for controlling and positioning the gripping device of the street lighting luminaire assist in guiding the gripping device of the steering wheel to the street lighting luminaire to be mounted ay. In the example, the robot comprises at least two gripping devices, one gripping device hails the new modularized street lighting luminaire and the other gripping device holds the old modularized street lighting luminaire.
The robot may also comprise means for fixing the gripping device to the street lighting pole. The means for fixing the gripping device to the street lighting pole can be arranged on the transport device, the arm, the robot, the robot arm or the gripping device, as long as this means that the gripping device itself is fixed relative to the street lighting pole, with associated street lighting fixture. The gripping device, or flake device arranged at the gripping device, cannot perform the operations they are designed to Ora unless the street lighting pole is fixed.
Street lighting poles are often very high and have a great external impact from e.g. wind, which means that they can become swaying. This may mean that they are not sufficiently rigid to be present during the above-mentioned operations. In these cases, means for fixing the gripping device to the street lighting post, which can hold the post, are a prerequisite.
The robot may also comprise a device adapted to remove existing street lighting luminaires. This device can be arranged on a gripping device, on a robot arm, on a robot, on the arm or on the transport unit and means that existing street lighting luminaires can be removed by cutting the street lighting pole.
The robot may also comprise additional gripping devices to be able to perform additional operations in connection with service of the street lighting pole and the modularized street lighting fixture, e.g. a device for feeding down cable and / or a device for mounting the second coupling device. These devices can be arranged on the same or different gripping devices, on the same or different robot arms, on the robot, on the arm or on the transport unit. These devices mean that a new street lighting luminaire system can be arranged if existing street lighting luminaires have been removed.
According to another example, several arms are connected to the transport unit by robots comprising one or more gripping devices. The multiple arms are controlled in position so that each robot can operate as intended. In this embodiment, the robots of the arms, including different devices with different tasks, can be arranged, which means that certain operations can be performed more efficiently.
According to another example, the procedure of replacing the modularized street lighting fixture may be at least partially sequential, with one or more arms, and associated robot or robots as well as gripping device or gripping devices, being operated to first perform an operation at the height where the modularized street lighting fixture is located. to then be maneuvered down to the transport unit for an operation on the bearing, for example unloading from or loading to one or more gripping devices from / to the transport unit.
All these embodiments of the present invention meant that the operation of replacing an existing street lighting fixture with a new street lighting fixture can be done in a much shorter time and also increases the safety of both the personnel and the machines used to perform the operation and of fellow road users.
The device may comprise a battery rack of street lighting luminaires, in which both street lighting luminaires for replacement can be carried and replaced street lighting luminaires can be deposited. This meant that depending on the task the device is to perform, or has performed, this battery rack is more or less filled with street lighting fixtures for mounting and or disassembled street lighting fixtures. The battery rack can advantageously be arranged at the transport unit, but can also be arranged on the arm or at the robot. The battery rack can also be arranged on a, or as a, separate unit.
The battery rack can be of many different shapes but is preferably designed so that at least one of the arms can pick up and / or leave off street lighting luminaires from / in the bat rack.
By using the battery rack through which several street lighting luminaires can be carried, and replaced street lighting luminaires can be left off, more street lighting luminaires can be replaced in a shorter time. This means that the total time the device receives replacement of modularized street lighting fixtures that need to be in traffic can be minimized.
According to an example, the device comprises an arm and / or a robot arm which are both articulated and maneuverable laterally and / or vertically and / or deeply and / or articulated by a ball joint, wherein the arm and or the robot arm can move in several directions and rotate, thus, the arm and / or the robot arm are articulated and maneuverable in at least the flag direction. The arm / robot arm can be controlled by the Iran transport unit, by remote control or by a pre-programmed process. The robot can furthermore be equipped with a device for lighting, wherein the device for lighting is arranged in such a way that 0-3600 of the area 0-10 m around the robot is illuminated. The device for lighting can preferably be controlled and redirected via remote control.
In cases where the device comprises more than one arm and / or robot, these can also be equipped with additional devices for lighting.
The battery rack can also be equipped with a device for lighting, the device for lighting being arranged in such a way that the battery rack is illuminated, the street lighting luminaires being removed from or left off in the battery rack being illuminated.
In cases where the device comprises more than one battery rack, these can also be equipped with a device for lighting.
The device may also be provided with a device for camera surveillance. The camera monitoring device is arranged in such a way that the robot, including the robot arm and the gripping device, as well as the operations performed by the components just mentioned, are monitored. The device for camera surveillance can preferably be controlled via remote control so that the desired area can be monitored. This is possible due to the fact that the camera surveillance device can rotate and move in at least the flag direction.
In cases where the device comprises more than one arm, robot, robot arm or gripping device, these can also be monitored with the aid of one or more devices for camera surveillance. By using the camera option monitoring device, the arm, the robot, the robot arm and the gripping device can be operated via remote control from the transport unit or from a distance. By using the device for 12 camera surveillance together with the device receiving lighting, the arm, the robot, the robot arm and the gripping device can be maneuvered via remote control from the transport unit and / or Iran remotely even in ground. This may require the replacement of street lighting fixtures to be carried out in a way that is safer for the staff performing the work.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the robot further comprises a gripping device adapted to be able to grip, hold and relax street lighting luminaires as required.
This meant that the gripping device in position at the battery rack can grip the street lighting luminaire. The gripping device is arranged to hold the street lighting luminaire while the arm moves the robot Iran the position at the battery rack to the position at the street lighting pole. The robot then performs the replacement of luminaires. If the street lighting pole lacks a luminaire, the robot can install a new modularized street lighting luminaire by either connecting the first coupling device to the second coupling device, or by replacing a coupling device on the lighting pole with a second coupling device. When the street lighting luminaire is in place, the gripping device is arranged to loosen the grip of the street lighting luminaire.
The means of the gripping device for gripping the street lighting luminaire may be in the form of two or more gripping surfaces which are arranged in a manner which means that the street lighting luminaire is held by the gripping device. One or more of the gripping surfaces may have an elastic coating or a coating which increases the friction of the gripping surface of the gripping device against the surface of the street lighting luminaire. Furthermore, the means for gripping the street lighting luminaire may be in the form of at least one projection on the gripping device for which there is at least one cooperating recess on the street lighting luminaire, wherein the gripping device can be connected to the street lighting luminaire. The means for gripping the street lighting luminaire arranged on the gripping device may also be in the form of at least one recess on the gripping device for which there is at least one cooperating projection on the street lighting luminaire, wherein the gripping device can be connected to the street lighting luminaire. Furthermore, the means for gripping the street lighting luminaire can be in the form of cooperating magnets or in the form of one or more hooks on the gripping device which hooks in cooperating means on the street lighting luminaire. The means for gripping the street lighting luminaire can also be in the form of one or more suction cups with / without the possibility of creating a suction force with the aid of a vacuum for gripping the street lighting luminaire. Several different methods or techniques for how the gripping device is designed and which handle the street lighting luminaire are conceivable. The set grip device grips the street lighting luminaire can e.g. may also be in the form of at least one screw device or other form of coupling which connects in a cooperating part of the street lighting luminaire or in the form of a lifting device. The street lighting luminaire may comprise means which cooperate with the gripping device or the gripping device may be completely adapted to the street lighting luminaire.
In case the robot comprises more than one gripping device, the gripping devices are arranged so that the gripping devices can change place, either by a movement of the robot or by a movement of the flap of the gripping devices.
According to the above, the gripping device comprises means for controlling and positioning the gripping device steering wheel in relation to the street lighting luminaire. The means can be in the form of spades, guide rails, flanges, magnets, recesses, recesses, protruding elements or the like. In this way, the operation is then facilitated by an empty gripping device, thus not tilting the flange 30 street lighting fixture, is fitted in order to be able to grip a street lighting fixture, either from the battery rack or from a street lighting pole. Furthermore, the gripping device may comprise a means for controlling and positioning the gripping device steering wheel to the street lighting pole, whereby mounting and / or dismantling of street lighting fixtures can be carried out. The means for guiding the gripping device steering wheel relative to the street lighting pole can be in the form of spades, guide rails, flanges, magnets, recesses, recesses, protruding elements, devices for passive or active control with ultrasound, devices for passive or active control with infrared light, devices for passive or active control with laser or the like. Means for controlling and positioning the gripping device straight to the street lighting pole can also be arranged on the transport unit, the robot or the arm.
The gripping device or robot may further, as above, comprise means for fixing the gripping device to the street lighting pole during the operation which the gripping device is to perform, the street lighting pole being subjected to minimal influence of lateral, deep, vertical or rotating forces. The means for fixing the gripping devices to the street lighting posts need not be located on the gripping device but may also be mounted on the transport unit, the robot, the arm, the robotic arm or on more than one of the said parts. The fact that the street lighting pole is fixed during the operation is important so that the same can be done in a reliable way. The means for fixing the gripping device or the robot to the street lighting pole may be in the form of a gripping device, comprising at least one gripping claw, or the like. Furthermore, the means for fixing the gripping device or the robot to the street lighting posts can be in the form of magnets. The means for the gripping device, alternatively the robot etc., for gripping the street lighting pole can also be in the form of one or more, at least to some extent, flanges projecting from the street lighting pole against which cooperating means on the gripping device or the robot etc. can abut. Furthermore, the means for the gripping device or the robot etc. to grip the street lighting pole can be in the form of two or more gripping surfaces which rotate in a manner which causes the street lighting pole to be held by at least one spacer arm projecting from the gripping device or the robot etc., tens of the gripping surfaces can be coated with elastic coating or a coating that increases the friction. Furthermore, the means for fixing the gripping device or robot etc. to the street lighting pole can be in the form of recesses on the street lighting pole, and since cooperating means on the gripping device or robot etc. include corresponding projections, these can be used to fix the gripping device or robot etc. to the street lighting pole.
The street lighting luminaire is connected to the street lighting pole in a way that allows quick and easy installation and disassembly of the street lighting fixture, this also including the electrical connection between the street lighting luminaire and the street lighting pole.
The means of connection between the street lighting fixture and the street lighting pole can be of many different types such as snapplas, screw joints, knife switches, bayonet coupling or the like, but other methods of connecting the street lighting pole and the street lighting fixture are conceivable and the present invention is not limited to the above invention.
This means that the operation when the street lighting luminaire is mounted by or on the street lighting pole takes minimal time, which is a major advantage and radically reduces the risks associated with the work.
Furthermore, the robot may comprise a device adapted to remove existing street lighting luminaire from the street lighting pole by cutting the street lighting pole and a device for mounting a new coupling device in the form of a second coupling device at the street lighting pole. The device adapted to remove existing street lighting fixtures from the street lighting pole may be in the form of at least one circular saw, a band saw, an angle grinder, a tiller or the like. In this embodiment, the robot may further comprise a gripping device 16 adapted to mount a second coupling device on the sawn-off street lighting pole. A device adapted for mounting a second coupling device consists of a gripping device which has gripped a street lighting fixture where a second coupling device is mounted to the first coupling device of the street lighting fixture. Thus, in this embodiment, the robot may comprise a gripping device arranged to have only one street lighting fixture comprising a first coupling device, which in turn is connected to a second coupling device, preferably via the two sockets of the first coupling device and the second coupling device, the second coupling device being replaced. the street lighting luminaire without the arm sinking, ie. in the same position.
Other systems of street lighting fixtures, not necessarily including a first and second coupling device, can also be mounted on the sawn-off street lighting fixture. Depending on the existing system of street lighting fixtures, another method of cutting the street lighting pole may also be relevant for removing existing street lighting fixtures. Other conceivable methods for removing existing street lighting fixtures from the street lighting pole may be to screw or pull off existing street lighting fixtures.
The device may further comprise a device for feeding cable into the street lighting pole. This can preferably be done with the aid of at least one rotating roller or by biasing the cable with the aid of at least one compressor. In this embodiment, the device may further comprise a device for carrying cable. The method for changing cable installation similar to those in the present invention is well known in the past.
The device can be remotely controlled by wireless communication, e.g. by using electromagnetic waves. In another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle, preferably a skylift, is equipped with a module for use with a vehicle for replacing a modularized street lighting fixture disposed on a street lighting post, the modularized street lighting fixture comprising a light source and a housing, wherein first coupling device, and where one end of the street lighting pole has a second coupling device for attaching the street lighting fixture via the first coupling device, characterized in that the module comprises at least one manoeuvrable robot comprising means for arranging and fixing the robot to the vehicle, the adapted robot comprising at least one device removed and / or replaced street lighting luminaires, the robot being arranged to be maneuvered via remote control, from a distance or via a pre-programmed process.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a first example of how the transport unit is positioned at a street lighting post Figure 2 shows in more detail how part of arm, robot, robot arms and gripping devices are positioned at a streetlight pole FIG 3visarettforstaskedeavutbyteavbefintlig street lighting luminaire the new system with the inventive modular street lighting luminaire Figure 4visarettandraskedeavutbyteavbefintlig street lighting luminaire the new system with the inventive modular street lighting luminaire 18 DESCRIPTION oF EMBODIMENT Figure 1 shows a device 1 for the exchange of a first modular street lighting luminaire 2a arranged on a streetlight pole 3. the farsta modular street lighting luminaire 2a comprises a light source and a housing 5. The housing 5 comprises a first coupling device 6a and the street lighting pole 3 has a spirit 23 where a second cup coupling device 6b is mounted for mounting the first street lighting luminaire 2a via the first coupling device 6a. The device 1 for replacing the first modularized street lighting luminaire 2a comprises an arm 7 mounted on a transport unit 8. Figure 1 shows that at least one manoeuvrable robot 9 is arranged on the arm 7. The robot 9 comprises at least one first gripping device 10a adapted to remove and / or replaced street lighting luminaires 2a, 2b, 12. In figure 1 the first and the second gripping device 10a, 10b are in the form of gripping claws, but also other techniques or methods for the gripping devices to grip the street lighting luminaires are conceivable and the invention should not be considered limited by this embodiment. The gripping devices can e.g. comprise means which engage with a corresponding means of the street lighting luminaire, e.g. screw / bolt joints, bayonet coupling, slide joints, etc. Furthermore, the robot 9 is arranged to be maneuvered via remote control from the transport unit 8 and / or from a distance and / or via a pre-programmed process.
Figure 1 shows an example of the invention where the transport unit 8 is equipped with an arm 7 connected to a robot 9 comprising a first robot arm 13a and a second robot arm 13b. The first robot arm 13a is connected to a first gripping device 10a and the second robot arm 13b is connected to a second gripping device 10b.
At some point during the process, the second gripping device 10b is positioned in a first position at a battery rack 11 for storing 19 street lighting luminaires 12. In Figure 1, the battery rack 11 is arranged on the transport unit 8. The battery rack may also be arranged in another position, e.g. . at the robot, where the robot can produce new luminaires and leave old ones when the arm raises the robot to the level of the luminaire (not shown). Figure 1 shows a tankable embodiment of a battery rack 11 containing three street lighting fixtures 12, but several other designs of battery racks, with the possibility of storing different numbers of street lighting fixtures for replacement and / or which are replaced, are tankable (not shown). According to the example in Figure 1, the second gripping device 10b has been in a first position at the battery rack 11 and has gripped a second street lighting luminaire 2b from the battery rack 11.
The arm 7 has then been guided by a movement to a second position at the street lighting pole 3, whereby the first gripping device 10a can perform an operation which removes a first street lighting fixture 2a present on the street lighting pole 3. The robot 9 is then controlled to perform a movement which means that the second gripping device 10b takes the place of the first gripping device 10a, the second gripping device 10b with the second street lighting fixture 2b being controlled to perform an operation replacing the first street lighting fixture 2a with the second street lighting fixture 2a. The arm 7 is then guided by a movement to the first position, whereby the first gripping device 10a with the first street lighting luminaire 2a is controlled to be left by the first street lighting luminaire 2a in the battery rack 11.
Thus, this meant that a robot 9 comprising at least two gripping devices 10a, 10b, one of which is loaded with a new second street lighting fixture 2b for replacement, can remove existing first street lighting fixture 2a and mount a new second street lighting fixture 2b when the arm 7 is in a position at the first street lighting luminaire 2a.
The same operation can also be performed by a device comprising more than two gripping devices, which meant that more than one street lighting luminaire can be carried from the battery rack in a first stage and / or that at least two street lighting luminaires can be replaced (not shown). This embodiment meant additional time savings. The same operation can also be performed by a device comprising a gripping device, which in this case meant that the arm had to be lowered between the moment when the existing street lighting fixture is removed and the moment when the new street lighting fixture, preferably the Iran battery rack, is arranged (not shown). In this embodiment, however, the time saving will not be as great as in the embodiments mentioned above.
Figure 1 shows that the device 1 for carrying out replacement of street lighting luminaires, or replacing street lighting luminaires, is arranged on the transport unit 8. The transport unit 8 may comprise one or more units on which the arm 7 is arranged and which can move the arm 7 in a plane parallel to the ground. and possibly also in a direction coinciding with the normal to the plane, ie hojdled. The transport unit 8 is moved either by its own propulsion device or by the transport unit 8 being moved with the aid of a vehicle. The transport unit can thus, for example, be in the form of a slack, be something that can be placed on a slack or be something that a suitable vehicle carried with it (not shown). The transport unit 8 can also be in the form of a vehicle, which in Figure 1 is exemplified by the transport unit 8 being a car.
