Disclosure of Invention

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a sealing profile system for a lighting module, which allows easy installation of the lighting module.

This object is solved by a sealing profile system for a lighting module, a mounting system with such a profile system and a method for mounting such a profile system according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments will emerge from the dependent claims and the following description.

A sealing profile system for a lighting module comprises a profile part, a protective part, an inner sealing element and an outer sealing element. The profile element has at least one recess for receiving the electronic component, wherein the recess accommodates the protective element. The protective member has an inner side and an outer side opposite the inner side. The protective part rests with the inner side on the inner sealing element. The inner sealing element may provide a sealed encapsulation between two adjacent parts of the lighting module, such as the protection part and the profile part. The protective part is held on the outside by an external sealing element. The outer sealing element may provide a force, e.g. a biasing force, such as a resilient spring restoring force, to secure the protective member against the inner sealing element. The external sealing element may also be referred to as a spring element or a biasing element. The external sealing element does not have to provide a sealing encapsulation between two adjacent parts of the lighting module, such as the protective part and the profile part, by itself.

The seal profile system may include a lamp, emitter, or other process/process tool, for example, for drying or curing the substrate. The profile system may be installed in a manufacturing system, for example, for drying or curing a substrate or coating. The lamp or emitter may be, for example, an ultraviolet or infrared light emitting diode. According to the protection class DIN EN 60529 (VDE 0470-1): 2014-09, the seal profile system may be designed to meet the required tightness/tightness.

The profile element may be an aluminium profile produced, for example, by extrusion. Extrusion is a process for extruding metal materials, and complex geometric shapes can be easily realized. The profile element may generally be referred to as an element having a stable constant cross section along its entire longitudinal extension. The profile element has at least one cavity or recess, which may be formed centrally on the surface of the profile element, preferably along the entire longitudinal direction of the profile element. In other words, the recess may extend in the longitudinal direction of the profile element. The recess may be configured to accommodate an electronic component. In other words, the electronic component can be inserted into the recess of the profile component. In this regard, one or more electronic components may be disposed in the recess in a segmented or continuous manner along the longitudinal direction of the profile component. For example, the electronic component may be a light source, such as a semiconductor light source, such as an ultraviolet light emitting diode or an infrared light emitting diode, or a circuit to be activated in a sealed system. Furthermore, the profile component may include any desired grooves (e.g., round wires, O-rings, or round wires that are combined to form O-rings) for sealing elements disposed in the geometry of the profile component. The required mounting of the front side of the sealing element can be achieved, for example, by a cover element with corresponding grooves.

The radiation power density, i.e. the electrical power consumption of the electronic component in relation to the area covered by the semiconductor light source, may be at least 50W/cm ² In particular at least 100W/cm ² Or even at least 150W/cm ² . In particular, the radiation power density may be at least 250W/cm ² . In particular, at least two semiconductor light sources provide at least 5W/cm in the working plane ² In particular at least 10W/cm ² Or even at least 15W/cm ² Is provided. In particular, the semiconductor light source provides at least 25W/cm in the target plane ² Is provided. In particular, the radiation power density to be achieved may be related to the maximum peak intensity achievable in the illuminated area during continuous operation of the lighting device. To determine the radiation power density, the working plane may be scanned using a measuring device in order to measure the spatial resolution radiation power density in the working plane. For example, the number of the cells to be processed,

the measuring device may be used as a measuring device. The maximum measurement gives the peak intensity. The measurement is performed with the measuring head in direct contact with a transparent protective member (protective window) of the emitter, which is located in the lateral center above the semiconductor light source.

The protection member may be provided in a recess in which the electronic component is located. The width and length of the protective member may be greater than the width and length of the recess of the profile member such that the protective member does not fall into the recess. The protective member may be a panel or a cover, in particular may be flat. The protective member may be made of glass, metal or plastic, and may be transparent or opaque. The protection member may protect the electronic components located in the recess from dust, moisture, or other external influences.

The sealing profile system may have at least two sealing elements which seal and simultaneously fasten the protective part to the profile part. Preferably, both the inner side and the outer side of the protective member are held by the sealing element. The inner side of the protection member may be a surface of the protection member arranged toward the recess. Instead, the outside of the protective member may be the surface of the protective member facing the surrounding environment. For this purpose, a first sealing element or an inner sealing element may be interposed between the inner surface of the protective part and the recess to tightly seal the recess. The second sealing element or the outer sealing element may be arranged outside the protective part and fasten the protective part to the profile part. Preferably, the sealing element may abut the edge portion of the protective member on each side (inner and outer) such that, for example, radiation of the luminous body is not blocked by the sealing element. In this way, the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element may be the only connection between the profile part and the protection part. In other words, the protective member may be attached to the profile member without screws or adhesive. The sealing element may be made of plastic or rubber and may preferably be a commercially available O-ring or round wire. The sealing element may reduce mechanical stresses at the protective component, which may be caused by thermal expansion of the profile component. Furthermore, the sealing element may also reduce the heat transferred from the profile component to the protective component, which may reduce the likelihood of the protective component being aged by heat.

The advantage of the profile system according to the invention is that the protective element can be sealed to the profile element preferably in such a way that no screws are used over the entire length of the profile element. Thus, the profile element can simultaneously serve as a housing for the electronic component. The profile system requires neither liquid sealing material nor screws in combination with an additional fixing frame. O-rings or round wires, which are commercially available, can be used as sealing elements for sealing profile parts. Furthermore, the protective component, for example the panel or the housing cover, can be closed and re-opened without any effort. As a result, the profile system can be constructed and used in a manner that facilitates assembly and service and is retrofittable, and the duration of assembly or maintenance of the profile system can be significantly reduced.

In one embodiment, the two end faces of the profile elements can each be closed with a sealing cover plate. Seals, such as ring seals, foil seals, etc., may be arranged between the cover plate and the profile part. The cover plate may include a channel portion for receiving a portion of the inner sealing element. The inner sealing element may be located at least partially in the groove portion of the cover plate. The cover plate may be attached to the profile element, for example by means of screws. In this way, all the components of the seal profile system can be detachably connected, so that the components are easy to repair and/or replace, for example flexible replacement of the seal elements. Furthermore, the profile system according to the invention allows as few screws as possible to be used and the profile system can be retrofitted several times. Thus, the seal profile system can be applied to various application fields.

In one embodiment, the inner sealing element is located at least partially in a first groove in the profile part. In one embodiment, the external sealing element is alternatively or additionally located at least partially in a second groove in the profile part. In other words, the profile part may comprise a first groove on the side facing the inner side of the protection part and/or a second groove on the side facing the outer side of the protection part to accommodate the sealing element, respectively. In order to provide a second groove, the outer portion of the profile element between the outside of the protection element and the surroundings may at least partly cover the protection element. The first and second grooves may be semicircular, being continuously formed along the longitudinal direction of the profile member. The grooves may be arranged such that each sealing element preferably abuts an edge portion of the protective member.

In one embodiment, the profile element may comprise at least four grooves, of which two are formed on the side facing the inside of the protection element and the remaining two are formed on the side facing the outside of the protection element. In this way, the sealing element clamped in the groove can be supported on at least four edge portions of the protective member in the longitudinal direction of the profile member, so that the protective member can be sealed and fixed uniformly over the entire length of the profile member.

In one embodiment, the inner sealing element and the outer sealing element are resilient and are held in the first groove and the second groove of the profile part by a biasing force/biasing spring/biasing tension, respectively. The term biasing force/biasing spring/biasing tension may be understood as: when the sealing element is clamped in the respective groove, mechanical tension is present in the sealing element in order to subsequently secure the protective component in a slip-and play-free manner. The geometry of the profile component with the first and second grooves can thereby prevent the sealing element from releasing spontaneously again from the intended position. Furthermore, the protective part may not have any direct contact with the profile part, but can only be sealed by the biasing force of the sealing element.

In one embodiment, the recess accommodates a semiconductor light source as an electronic component, and the protective component is a transparent panel arranged between the semiconductor light source and the surroundings of the profile component. The seal profile system may be, for example, a lighting module that may be attached to a machine during manufacturing to cure the component. The corresponding illumination may be provided by a semiconductor light source. For example, the semiconductor light source may be one or more of an ultraviolet light emitting diode, an infrared light emitting diode, an organic light emitting diode, or a laser diode. In other words, the semiconductor light source, i.e., the semiconductor light emitting device, consumes less energy, generates less heat, provides higher quality curing, and has higher reliability than conventional arc lamps. The semiconductor light source may be intermittently or continuously disposed in the recess along the longitudinal direction of the molding member. The protective member may be transparent for efficient transmission of light emitted from the semiconductor light source. Furthermore, the protective member may be a planar panel, but may also be a curved plate made of glass or plastic.

In one embodiment, the recess accommodates at least one control unit as an electronic component, and the protective component is a cover arranged between the control unit and the surroundings of the profile component. The electronic component located in the recess of the profile component may be a control unit that controls and regulates at least one automated processing stage. The control unit may be arranged intermittently or continuously in the recess in the longitudinal direction of the profile element. In order to protect the profile part with the control unit from the surroundings, the profile part or the recess can be sealed with a cover. The cover may be planar, curved or the like, and may be transparent, but may also be opaque.

In one embodiment, the sealing profile system further comprises a further recess for receiving a further electronic component and a further protective component arranged between the further electronic component and the surroundings of the profile component. The second recess may be arranged on an opposite side of the first recess to provide sufficient space for the recess and related components. However, two recesses may also be arranged on perpendicular and adjacent (two) sides. The profile component may have a recess on each of its three or four side surfaces, which recess may accommodate further electronic components and may be sealed with further protective components.

In one embodiment, the further protective component can rest with the inner side against the inner sealing element and be held on the outer side by the outer sealing element, wherein the inner sealing element can be located at least partially in the first groove of the profile component and the second sealing element can be located at least partially in the second groove of the profile component.

In one embodiment, the inner sealing element is a closed sealing ring extending continuously along the protective member. In other words, the inner sealing element may be an O-ring and surround all edge portions inside the protective member. Two lateral inner edge portions of the protective part extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile rest against corresponding lateral portions of the inner sealing element, which is clamped in a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile.

In one embodiment, the outer sealing element comprises at least two sealing strips, in particular each extending along only a longitudinal portion of the protective member. Thus, in contrast to the inner sealing element, the outer sealing element may comprise two separate elements, for example a circular wire, which extend longitudinally only along the lateral edge portions outside the protective part. In other words, the two sealing strips may be fixed or biased into a second groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile part and facing the outside of the protective part.

In one embodiment, each sealing strip has a projection at least one of its ends relative to the profile element. This means that the end of each sealing strip is not cut flush with the end/surface of the profile element. The protrusion may be about 1 cm. In this way, the round wire can be released or pulled from the profile element manually without tools during the removal process.

In one embodiment, the profile member comprises a protrusion partially covering the protective member. In other words, the protrusion may be provided at an outer portion of the profile member between the outer side of the protection member and the surrounding environment, and may extend horizontally from the side edge of the profile member across the recess to the center of the profile member. Furthermore, the protrusions may extend in the longitudinal direction of the profile element. Preferably, the profile member may be configured to be symmetrical in the vertical direction with respect to the protection member, so that the protection member may be covered in a parallel and symmetrical manner by the protrusions at both edge portions in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the protrusion may be adapted to provide a second groove accommodating the external sealing element inside the protrusion facing the outside of the protection component. In this way, the outer sealing element may be protected from the surrounding environment.

In one embodiment, the protrusion has a chamfer/bevel from the opening of the recess towards the second groove on the inner side facing the protection component. The term chamfer/bevel is understood to mean a bevel of the free edge of the workpiece, whereby an angular edge portion of the workpiece can be removed. If the protrusions extend horizontally from the side edges of the profile member towards the centre of the profile member, openings may be formed between the ends of the protrusions. The inner side of the protrusion extending from the opening or centre of the profile member towards the second groove may be inclined to avoid sharp edges on the profile member while allowing easy insertion of the external sealing element into the second groove.

In one embodiment, the inner sealing element and/or the outer sealing element seal the profile system according to protection class IP54 (IEC (international electrotechnical commission standard) 60529:2013, din (german industrial standard) 60529:2014/09). In particular, the inner sealing element enables a sealed encapsulation between the components of the profile system, wherein the outer sealing element exerts a force, in particular a spring force, for pressing the protective component against the profile component and/or the cover. The profile system according to the invention allows a particularly simple and safe sealing assembly to be realized with as few screws as possible. In particular, the protective part and the profile part are sealed and connected only by the sealing element, which makes it possible to shorten the assembly time of the profile system and to have a reliable seal.

The invention also includes a mounting system comprising a sealed profile system and a tool for pressing a sealing element of the profile system into a groove of the profile system. The sealed profile system may comprise a round wire as sealing element. For the assembly of the sealing element, only a simple tool is required to press the sealing element into the predetermined position during the assembly process.

In one embodiment, the tool includes a base and a protruding element. The base body comprises a front face for placement on a protective part of the profile system and a side face for guiding along a section of the profile part of the profile system. In order to press the outer sealing element into the groove of the profile part, the projection element protrudes at least partially, in particular radially, with respect to the side face of the base body.

The tool may be substantially cylindrical. The projection or protruding element may protrude sideways at the front end of the cylinder. The tool can be moved back and forth over the protective part, preferably in the opening between the protruding ends of the profile part, in the longitudinal direction of the profile part, to press the outer sealing element into the groove facing the outside of the protective part. The outer contour of the protruding element may be shaped round so that the sealing member engaged in the groove is not damaged by the protruding element. The tool may preferably be made of plastic to prevent damage to the protective member, such as scratches. The tool may further comprise two projecting elements spaced apart from each other along the sides for simultaneously pressing two separate external sealing members into the respective grooves.

In one embodiment, the tool may include a protruding element continuously formed around the sides of the tool at the front face.

The invention also comprises a method of assembling a seal profile system for a lighting module. The method comprises the following steps, not necessarily in this order:

providing a profile element having at least one recess for accommodating an electronic element,

inserting the inner sealing element at least partially into the profile part,

inserting a protective part into the recess of the profile part, wherein the protective part has an inner side and an outer side opposite the inner side, and

inserting an external sealing element at least partially into the profile part,

such that the protective part rests with the inner side against the inner sealing element and is held on the outer side by the outer sealing element.

All the features described or depicted may be combined with each other, no matter how expressed in the individual claims, figures, sentences or paragraphs.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a simplified sealing profile system 10 for a lighting module according to one embodiment of the present invention. Profile system 10 may be installed in a manufacturing system to provide illumination or radiation as a process tool of the manufacturing system. Profile system 10 can be designed to meet the required tightness/tightness according to the protection class (IEC 60529:1989+a1:1999+a2:2013).

The seal profile system 10 comprises a profile part 1, a protection part 4, an inner seal element 2 and an outer seal element 5. The profile element 1 has at least one recess 6 for accommodating the electronic component 3, the recess 6 also accommodating the protective element 4. The recess 6 extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile member 1, and the electronic component 3 is inserted into the recess 6 of the profile member 1.

The electronic component 3 may be a semiconductor light source, a control unit, or the like. For example, the semiconductor light source may be one or more of an ultraviolet light emitting diode, an infrared light emitting diode, an organic light emitting diode, or a laser diode.

The profile system 10 shown in fig. 1 further comprises a further recess 6 'for receiving a further electronic component 3' and a further protective component 4 'arranged between the further electronic component 3' and the surroundings of the profile component 1. For example, the first recess 6 accommodates a semiconductor light source 31 as the electronic component 3, and the protective component 4 is a transparent panel arranged between the semiconductor light source 31 and the surroundings of the profile component 1. At the same time, the second recess 6' accommodates the control unit 32, for example as an electronic component 3', the protective component 4' being a cover arranged between the control unit 32 and the surroundings of the profile component 1. In this way, the semiconductor light sources 31 can be directly monitored and controlled by the control unit 32, the control unit 32 configuring the profile system 10 in a modular manner, avoiding the need for a complex central control system. Each recess 6,6 'accommodates a protective part 4,4' such that the protective part 4,4 'is inserted under or over the entire length of the profile part 1, below or above the already installed inner sealing element 2, 2'.

The profile system 10 further comprises at least one protrusion 9,9' which is formed between the protective part 4,4' and the surrounding environment and which partly covers the protective part 4, 4'. The protective member 4,4' has an inner side 41,41' and an outer side 42,42' opposite the inner side. The protective part 4,4' rests with the inner side 41,41' against the inner sealing element 2,2' and is held by the outer sealing element 5,5' on the outer side 42,42 '. The inner sealing element 2,2 'is at least partly located in a first groove 71,71' in the profile part 1 and the second sealing element 5,5 'is at least partly located in a second groove 72,72' in the profile part 1.

The second grooves 72,72 'are located on the inner side of the protrusions 9,9' opposite the outer sides 42,42 'of the protection members 4,4', and the first grooves 71,71 'are located on the side facing the second grooves 72, 72'. The first grooves 71,71 'and the second grooves 72,72' may be semicircular and bias the elastic sealing elements 2,2', 5' inserted into the grooves 71,71', 72'. In this way, the sealing element 2,2', 5' can fix the protective part 4,4' in a non-slip and play-free manner.

The sealing elements 2,2', 5' inserted into the profile part 1 may be commercially available seals. In this respect, the inner sealing element 2,2 'may be a closed sealing ring, for example an O-ring extending continuously along an edge portion of the protection component 4, 4'. In other words, the inner sealing element 2,2' completely encloses the inner surface 41,41' of the protective part 4, 4'. On the other hand, the outer sealing element 5,5' comprises at least two sealing

strips

51, 52 or round wires (in fig. 4) which extend along the longitudinal portion of the protective part 4,4' only on the outer side 42,42' of the protective part 4,4', while the transverse portion of the protective part 4,4' remains free.

Figure 2 shows the profile element 1 in more detail. The profile element 1 may preferably be an aluminum profile and/or a hollow profile accessible from both sides and may be produced by a so-called extrusion process. The profile element 1 comprises at least two mutually facing recessed sections 11, the recessed sections 11 extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile element 1 on at least one side surface of the profile element 1. The recessed section 11 is arranged for mounting the profile system 10 on, for example, a mounting rail (not shown) in order to more easily attach the sealed profile system 10 to a machine. The mounting rail or top hat rail may have a U-shaped profile such that profile system 10 may be removably connected to the top hat rail by a clamping mechanism. In order to facilitate the mounting of the profile system 10 on the top hat rail, at least one, preferably several clamping support elements 12 (in fig. 3) are arranged in the recessed section 11 in the longitudinal direction of the profile part 1.

Furthermore, the profile element 1 comprises: at least one recess/notch 13 on the side surface for mounting the profile element 1 to an attachment element, such as a fender; a reflector, a cleaning unit for the panel, a sensor system/temperature monitoring device and at least one, preferably several, threaded sections 14 on at least one end face/surface, the threaded sections 14 being used for fastening the cover plate 30 to the profile part 1 with screws 40 (as shown in fig. 3). The cover plate 30 can be made of the same material as the profile element 1, for example metal, preferably aluminum. At least one channel 50 may be arranged between the two recesses 6,6' along the longitudinal direction of the profile element 1 to provide coolant in the profile element 1. In this way, the thermal behaviour of the profile element 1 and the electronic components 3,3' can be controlled by cooling air or fluid.

As shown in fig. 3 to 6, the end/surface of the profile element 1 is closed by a sealing cover plate 30, which can be fastened to the profile element 1 by means of screws 40. At least one end of the outer sealing element 5,5' has a projection with respect to the profile part 1. In other words, the end of each sealing

strip

51, 52 is not cut flush with the surface side/end face of the profile element 1, but protrudes relative to the cover plate 30 of the profile element 1. In this way, the round wire can be released or pulled from the profile element manually without tools during the removal process. However, the ends of the sealing strips 51, 52 may also be cut flush with the cover plate 30.

The projections 9,9' have inclined surfaces 91, 91' on the inner side facing the protective members 4,4', the inclined surfaces 91, 91' extending from the openings 92, 92' of the recesses 6,6' to the second grooves 72,72 '. This means that the ends of the protrusions 9,9' form openings 92, 92' and that the inner sides of the protrusions 9,9' facing the outer sides 42,42' of the protection members 4,4' are chamfered/beveled, extending from the openings 92, 92' towards the second grooves 72,72 '. In this way, the outer sealing element 5,5 'can be easily inserted into the chamfer 91, 91' in the second groove 72,72 'and biased along the chamfer 91, 91'.

The cover plate 30 has a groove 34 on each edge adjacent the protective member 4,4' to accommodate the inner sealing element 2,2' surrounding the protective member 4, 4'. In this way, the annular inner sealing element 2,2 'can be continuously biased along the edge portions of the protection member 4, 4'. Furthermore, for sealing the cover plate 30, an additional sealing element 33 is arranged between the cover plate 30 and the profile part 1. In this way the joint between the profile part 1 and the cover plate 30 can be sealed.

Fig. 7 and 8 illustrate a seal mounting system 20 according to one embodiment of the invention. The mounting system 20 comprises a sealed profile system 10 and a tool 8 for pressing the outer sealing element 5 of the profile system 10 into the groove 72 of the profile system 10. The tool 8 is substantially cylindrical in shape.

As shown in fig. 9, the tool 8 includes a base 81 and a protruding element 82. The base body 81 comprises a front face 83 for fitting onto the protective part 4,4' of the profile system 10 and a side face 84 for guiding along a section of the profile part 1 of the profile system 10, preferably in the longitudinal direction. Protruding from the side 84 of the base body 81 is a protruding element 82 for pressing the outer sealing part 5,5 'into the second groove 72,72' of the profile part 1. In other words, the tool 8 can be moved forward and backward in the longitudinal direction of the profile part 1 over the protection part 4,4', preferably in the opening 92, 92' between the ends of the protrusions 9,9' of the profile part 1, to press the outer sealing element 5,5' into the second groove 72,72 '.

Fig. 10 shows a seal mounting system 20 with a tool 8 according to another embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 11, the tool 8 has a protruding element 82 extending continuously around a side 84 of the tool 8 at a front face 83. In other words, the projecting element 82 projects continuously from the side 84 of the tool 8 to press the outer sealing member 5,5 'into the second groove 72, 72'. In this way, since it is not necessary to press the tool 8 from a predetermined side, the operation of the tool 8 can be made easy.

Fig. 12 schematically illustrates a method of assembling the seal profile system 10. Firstly, the profile element 1 is provided with at least one recess 6 for accommodating the electronic component 3 (S1). The inner sealing element 2 is at least partially introduced into the profile part 1 (S2). The first groove 71 for the inner sealing element 2 is designed such that the inner sealing element 2 is always held in the profile part 1 and does not have to be additionally fixed during assembly. Subsequently, the electronic component 3 is inserted into the recess 6, and the protective component 4 is inserted into the recess 6 of the profile component 1 by inserting the protective component 4 under or over the already assembled inner sealing element 2 over the entire length of the profile component 1 (S3). Thereafter, the outer sealing element 5 is at least partially inserted into the profile part 1 (S4), so that the protective part 4 rests with the inner side 41 on the inner sealing element 2 and is held by the outer sealing element 5 on the outer side 42. Thus, the outer sealing element 5 is pressed laterally into the second groove 72 by the chamfer 91. The tool 8 is used for mounting the external sealing element 5.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the outer sealing element 5,5' may comprise at least two sealing

strips

51, 52, wherein the first outer sealing strip 51 has been fully positioned and the second outer sealing strip 52 is pressed into the second groove 72 by the tool 8. Since the tool 8 is pressed against the profile part 1 or guided over the profile part 1, the outer sealing element 5 is prevented from being pressed too far or too little into the profile part 1. The tool 8 thus lies flat on the protective part 4. The tool 8 is preferably made of plastic to prevent damage to the protective member 4, such as scratches. The same procedure is also performed for the opposite side of the profile element 1, on which opposite side of the profile element 1 a second recess 6' is arranged, provided with a further electronic component 3' and a protective component 4'.

It should also be noted that "comprising" and "having" do not exclude any other elements or steps, and "a" or "an" does not exclude a plurality. Furthermore, it should be noted that features or steps that have been described with reference to one of the above-described specific embodiments may also be used in combination with other features or steps of other illustrative embodiments described above. Reference signs in the claims shall not be construed as limiting.
