Die bekannte Detektoreinrichtung weist eine Lampe auf, die durch einen Bewegungsmelder eingeschaltet werden kann und dient dazu, das Ansprechen des Bewegungsmelders optisch zu signalisieren.An infrared detector is known from US Pat. No. 4,510,488, with regard to its appearance is adapted to an electrical wall socket, as is common in the USA. The Known detector device has a lamp which is activated by a motion detector can be switched on and serves to respond to the motion detector optically to signal.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine beleuchtete Steckdose, insbesondere eine beleuchtete Schutzkontaktsteckdose anzugeben, bei der die Energie, die für die Beleuchtung aufgewendet wird, deutlich reduziert ist.The object of the invention is therefore an illuminated socket, in particular a Illuminated earthed socket indicate the energy required for the Lighting is used, is significantly reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Steckdose mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erfolgt gemäß den Merkmalen der abhängigen Ansprüche.This task is accomplished by solved a socket with the features of claim 1. The beneficial Embodiment of the invention is carried out according to the features of the dependent Expectations.

In der Steckdose ist ein Bewegungsmelder angeordnet, der die Beleuchtung aktiviert, wenn er Bewegungen im Umfeld der Steckdose registriert. Die Steckdose kann insbesondere als Schutzkontaktsteckdose für das 220 Volt Netz oder auch als Zigarettenanzünder/Steckdosen Kombination in Kraftfahrzeugen ausgebildet sein. In Kombination mit dem Bewegungsmelder wird die Beleuchtung nur dann aktiviert, wenn sie tatsächlich benötigt wird. Dadurch kann Energie gespart werden.A motion detector is arranged in the socket, which controls the lighting activated when it registers movements in the vicinity of the socket. The Socket can in particular be used as an earthed socket for the 220 volt network or as a cigarette lighter / socket combination in motor vehicles be trained. In combination with the motion detector, the  Lighting only activated when it is actually needed. This can Energy can be saved.

Wird die Beleuchtungseinrichtung von einer oder mehreren Leuchtdioden gebildet, die mit einem Vorwiderstand direkt aus der Spannungsversorgung der Steckdose betrieben werden können, so wird gegenüber Glühlampen eine weitere Energieeinsparung erreicht.If the lighting device is one or more LEDs formed with a series resistor directly from the power supply of the Socket can be operated, so compared to incandescent lamps Energy saving achieved.

Die Leuchtdioden der Beleuchtungseinrichtung sind in einer bevorzugten Ausführung in den beiden Stöpselkontaktlöchern einer Schutzkontakt Steckdose angeordnet. Das erleichtert das Einstecken eines Steckers bei einer finsteren Umgebung enorm.The light emitting diodes of the lighting device are preferred Version in the two plug contact holes of a protective contact socket arranged. This makes it easier to insert a plug in a dark one Environment enormous.

In einer weiteren Ausführung leuchten die Leuchtdioden der Beleuchtungseinrichtung einen ringförmig um die Steckdose verlaufenden Lichtleiter aus. Das kann sowohl ausschließlich als auch zusätzlich zu der Ausleuchtung der Stöpselkontaktlöcher der Schutzkontakt Steckdose erfolgen.In a further embodiment, the LEDs of the Lighting device a ring around the socket Fiber optic off. That can be both exclusively and in addition to the The plug contact holes of the protective contact socket are illuminated.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist ein Dämmerungsschalter vorgesehen ist, der die Beleuchtung der Steckdose erst bei unzureichenden Lichtverhältnissen aktiviert. Damit wird die Beleuchtung erst dann eingeschalten, wenn es dunkel bzw. dämmerig ist. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wirkt der Dämmerungsschalter auf den Bewegungsmelder ein und aktiviert dienen erst bei unzureichenden Lichtverhältnissen. So braucht dem Bewegungsmelder keine Energie zugeführt werden, wenn die Beleuchtung aufgrund ausreichender Lichtverhältnisse ohnehin nicht aktiviert würde.In a further embodiment, a twilight switch is provided, the lighting of the socket only in poor lighting conditions activated. This means that the lighting is only switched on when it is dark or is dim. In an advantageous embodiment, the Twilight switch on the motion detector and activated only serve at insufficient lighting conditions. So the motion detector doesn't need any Energy can be supplied when there is sufficient lighting Lighting conditions would not be activated anyway.

Im folgenden ist ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Steckdose mit Beleuchtung gemäß der Erfindung mit Bezug auf die Figur erläutert.The following is a preferred embodiment of the socket with Illumination according to the invention explained with reference to the figure.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Steckdose mit Beleuchtung und Bewegungsmelder zur Ansteuerung der Beleuchtung. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a socket with lighting and motion detector for controlling the lighting.

In der Figur ist eine Schutzkontakt-Steckdose 1 für das 220 Volt Wechselspannungsnetz dargestellt. Sie weist zu ihrer Beleuchtung zwei in den beiden Stöpselkontaktlöchern 2 angeordnete Leuchtdioden 3 auf. Die Leuchtdioden werden über einen Vorwiderstand direkt aus der in der Steckdose anliegenden Spannung betrieben. Die Ansteuerung der Leuchtdioden 3 erfolgt durch einen ebenfalls in der Steckdose angeordneten Bewegungsmelder 4, der das nahe Umfeld der Steckdose erfaßt. Wird durch den Bewegungsmelder 4 eine Bewegung registriert, so werden die Leuchtdioden 3 mit Spannung versorgt und damit die Steckdose 1 beleuchtet.In the figure, a protective contact socket 1 is shown for the 220 volt AC network. It has two light-emitting diodes 3 arranged in the two plug contact holes 2 for its illumination. The LEDs are operated via a series resistor directly from the voltage in the socket.
