Description

The present invention relates to a lighting band system having an arrangement provided for forming an elongated, channel-like receiving space, which is provided in particular for receiving lighting units.

Trunking systems are widely used in lighting technology, as they allow flexible adaptation of the lighting to external conditions. In addition, there is the possibility of using such a lighting system to achieve continuous lighting over a long distance.

Known light band systems are based on the use of a so-called mounting rail arrangement, which represents the central support for all other components of the lighting system. Such arrangements consist of individual, successively arranged support rail elements, which are e.g. are formed from elongated sheet-metal profile parts, which are open, for example, in cross-section U-shaped and down so that they form a longitudinally extending receiving space, which is first used once to arrange the components responsible for the power supply of the lighting system of the lighting system. On the one hand, these are the cables for the power supply, which are usually running along the entire arrangement, and possibly also for the signal transmission. Furthermore, however, at least the contacting means of lighting modules to be fastened to the mounting rail arrangement are often also accommodated within the receiving space and possibly also associated operating devices such as converters or the like, with the aid of which the power supply provided by the through-wiring is converted into a current suitable for operating the light sources becomes.

In continuation of the variants described above, the present invention relates in particular to a lighting system in which the light sources themselves are arranged within the receiving space and the underside of the mounting rail assembly is then closed by a translucent cover which forms the light exit element of the light band realized in this way.

For optical reasons, it is not practical in such a solution to realize this cover of individual, longitudinally successively arranged items, as at the joints light more or less unhindered could leave the lighting system and, accordingly, no homogeneous light output could be realized. In an earlier application of the Applicant ( WO 2014/174019 A1 ), therefore, a cover is described, which in principle is made "endless" and is designed such that it can be wound up for transport to a roll. This cover is then arranged in a single piece over the entire length of the mounting rail arrangement so that the optical properties of the lighting system are significantly improved.

It is also known from a further application of the applicant to additionally line the receiving space of a mounting rail arrangement with a longitudinally extending, again preferably integrally formed profile part, which is connectable to the cover. The aim of this measure is to create a receiving space for the electrical and electronic components of the lighting system, which is as well protected from external influences, especially from dust and / or moisture. Since, as mentioned above, the individual mounting rails have only a limited length and accordingly usually a mounting rail arrangement consists of several, frontally joined support rails, inevitably occur at the joints gaps or openings, through which the protection of the components therein is impaired from external influences. This is avoided according to the above-mentioned solution by the applicant in that now the interior is additionally lined with a profile part consisting of a flexible material. Also, this profile part as well as the cover is advantageously designed such that it can be transported wound up into a roll.

With the aid of the above-described solution known from the prior art, it is thus possible to form a closed space extending over the entire length of the light band for the storage of the lighting units, so that they are efficiently protected against external influences such as dust and / or Moisture can be protected. As a result, a so-called higher protection class can be realized for the light band.

On the other hand, it has been shown that, at least in certain situations, an interruption of, in particular, the cover provided for the light emission is required in order to position in the interruption region further components of the light band which should protrude from the receiving region or be arranged outside the receiving space. This applies, for example, the arrangement of special sensors, which should not be located within the space enclosed by the two profile parts, since they then no provide reliable sensor information. It would also be conceivable to arrange at certain points outside the receiving space so-called emergency lights or other light sources such as spotlights or spots, which should then selectively illuminate a particular area.

With the aid of the present invention, the possibility is to be made available here to easily open up the possibility for the consumer to make the above-mentioned interruption, but still to maintain the sealing enclosure of the receiving space.

The object is achieved by a lighting system with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to the invention, it is provided to provide an additional so-called cover element, which is designed to bridge the intermediate space or the opening in the profile part, which forms the cover for the light emission, in the interruption area and to bear against the other profile part in a sealing manner.

According to the present invention, therefore, a light strip system is proposed with an arrangement for forming an elongated, channel-like receiving space, in which at least one lighting unit is arranged, wherein the arrangement comprises a first elongated profile part and a second elongated profile part, which forms an at least partially translucent Lichtabstrahlelement the light band wherein the second profile part for forming the receiving space is clampingly or positively connected to the first profile part, wherein the second profile part is interrupted in the longitudinal direction or has an opening and wherein additionally a cover is provided which bridges the region of the interruption or opening and sealingly abuts the first profile part.

With the help of the cover according to the invention, therefore, the interruption area between the two second profile parts can be bridged, wherein the configuration is such that still the receiving space is enclosed in total sealing. For this purpose, the cover element preferably has specially configured sealing lips or webs which rest in a suitable manner against the first profile part. These sealing lips can be an immediate part of the cover or executed as a separate sealing insert in the cover. The cover itself is then designed so that it allows the positioning of other units such as. Sensors and / or lighting units outside of the receiving space, but at the same time allows electrical connection of these additional units extending within the receiving space lines. For this purpose, the cover can, for example, have a corresponding passage opening, can be performed by the corresponding lines, wherein the passage opening then additionally by means of a spout or similar measures sealingly encloses the performed lines.

Another measure that contributes to the improvement of the seal, is that the cover is applied with pressure on the first profile part, but at the same time also exerts pressure on the respectively facing front end portions of the second profile parts. This can be achieved in particular by the fact that the profile parts are arranged to form the receiving space on or in an elongate mounting rail assembly and the cover is adapted to be attached to this mounting rail assembly, preferably to be locked with this. In this case, it may be provided, for example, that the cover element is approximately C-shaped in cross-section and is provided with a bottom surface resting against the underside of the mounting rail arrangement and two side surfaces which engage over the mounting rail arrangement with the aid of detent elements or projections. In the snapped-on state, therefore, the cover element is fixed in a suitable manner to the mounting rail arrangement and additionally exerts pressure on the corresponding profile parts, as a result of which the desired sealing effect is improved. The bottom surface positioned below then contains, for example, the above-mentioned passage opening for passing lines or cables to the components positioned outside the receiving space.

With the help of this solution, other components can thus be attached in a simple manner at any position of the light band outside of the receiving space, which are connected in spite of all over power or data lines running within the receiving space of the light strip lines.

However, it then still has the task of actually making a connection to the lines running in the longitudinal direction of the light band at the desired position. A particularly advantageous solution, which also represents an independent idea of the invention, consists in the fact that the lines extending in the longitudinal direction are guided in a special way and designed to be contactable. In this regard, it should be noted that in light band systems of the type described above, a contacting of the passage lines is provided at certain predetermined positions, since it is assumed that the supplied with power Units have a more or less predetermined length or should be positioned at predetermined intervals. For this purpose, it is known to arrange contacting elements at regular intervals and predetermined positions at which insulation-free regions of the lines are made available so that they can be contacted in a simple manner. In order nevertheless to open up the possibility of contacting the cables or lines at any place by means of further units, it is provided to provide additional contacting elements which can be positioned freely in the longitudinal direction of the light band and are used here to guide the corresponding conductors through them Contact outside of the light band positioned units.

In this context, it should also be taken into account that light strips with extended functionalities often require a large number of lines running in the longitudinal direction. For example, it is known to use an eleven-pole line system to provide, in addition to the primary supply (i.e., three phase lines, neutral and ground), lines for emergency lighting and / or signal transmission. However, standard known contacting elements are more likely for a lower, e.g. designed seven-pin design, which is why according to a further aspect of the present invention is provided to provide appropriate Kontaktierungsbuchsen available that allow the contacting of up to seven lines, but at the same time have guide means that allow the lateral passage of the additional lines. This has the advantage that the additional, not contactable at the particular contact elements lines affect the contacting not disturbing, despite all, however, the possibility exists to make contactable at the different points of contact those lines that actually used by the corresponding units should be. The flexibility of the system is thereby significantly increased overall.

According to this further aspect of the invention, therefore, a contacting element is proposed for use in a continuous-row lighting system which has an elongate receiving space for accommodating cables or lines, wherein the contacting element has a contacting area with contacting bushes, in which the individual cables or lines can be contacted by a plug, and wherein laterally of the contacting area, means for laterally passing additional cables or lines are provided.

Overall, therefore, a lighting system is provided which meets all requirements for reaching a certain level of protection, despite all, however, allows the flexible positioning of other units outside the hermetically sealed space and beyond also ensures that these units extending in the longitudinal direction of the lighting system Can contact cables or lines.

Supporting component of the lighting system 100 is an elongated mounting rail arrangement 110 extending in the longitudinal direction of the lighting system 100 extends and the holder of all the essential components of the lighting system 100 serves. The mounting rail arrangement 110 consists of several elongated individual elements, the so-called DIN rail elements 111 which are the particular in 3 have recognizable cross-sectional shape and are joined together at their ends by means not shown connecting parts. These are usually made of metal or sheet metal profile parts, which have sufficient stability to a stable elongated support system for the lighting system 100 to build. Accordingly, it is not practical, these DIN rail elements 111 to realize in any length. Instead, individual elements are usually provided which have standard lengths, these standard elements then being suitably connected to the entire DIN rail arrangement 110 be combined. This is then attached to a suitable support, for example. On the ceiling of a room to be illuminated, for which there are different mounting options. In the present case, a variant is shown in which the system is attached by means of a cable suspension to a - not shown - ceiling. For this purpose, at regular intervals at the top of the DIN rail assembly 110 retaining clips 105 arranged, in each case one extending to the ceiling rope 106 is anchored.

As in particular the sectional representation of 3 shows is by the DIN rail elements 111 or the mounting rail arrangement 110 Overall, an approximately U-shaped, open to the bottom receiving space 120 created, the support and storage of other essential components of the lighting system 100 serves. For example, usually within this recording room 120 laid in the longitudinal direction of passage lines, the power supply and possibly also the control of the light source of the lighting system 100 serve.

In the illustrated embodiment, it is provided that - as described in more detail below - in the longitudinal direction of the system, a cable bundle 130 consisting of several cables 131 runs, which at certain intervals with contacting elements 160 is provided, where then, for example, by appropriate LED lighting modules 125 a contacting of the cables 131 can be made. The number of cables 131 depends on whether the wiring only a power supply for the LED lighting modules 125 should be made or control signals to control the bulbs to be transmitted.

Alternatively, however, it could be inside the recording room 120 also be arranged an elongated light source, which consists of a plurality of connected to a chain LED lighting modules.

A peculiarity of the in the 1-3 illustrated lighting strip system 100 It consists first of all in that the recording room 120 the DIN rail arrangement 110 additionally by an elongated profile part 140 is lined. In the assembled state also has this profile part 140 an approximately U-shaped, downwardly open and slightly widening configuration. It consists of a flexible material whose sidewalls 142 are formed at its lower end such that the lower edges of the side walls 114 the DIN rail elements 111 in corresponding recesses 143 of the profile part 140 intervention. This will be the profile part 140 clamped to the mounting rail arrangement 110 fixed, while a further stabilization of the flexible profile part 140 in the mounting rail arrangement 110 characterized in that on the one hand the bottom area 141 in terms of its shape to the floor area 112 the DIN rail elements 111 adapted and on the other hand from the side walls 114 the DIN rail elements 111 corresponding projections 115 protrude inward, which in addition the side walls 142 of the profile part 140 be supported at about halfway up from the outside.

This profile part 140 consists as already mentioned of a flexible material, which brings the advantage that due to its flexibility, the possibility exists, the profile part 140 to wind up in a roll in the unassembled state. This brings considerable advantages, since the profile part preferably produced in an extrusion process 140 "Endless", so can be made in practice with a very long length and wound up to the role, so that its transport to the site is significantly simplified. Here then can the profile part 140 be cut to a length, preferably the entire length of the DIN rail assembly 110 or the lighting system 100 corresponds, so that in particular the profile part 140 the joints between two longitudinally successive support rail elements 111 bridged. Ultimately, with the help of the profile part 140 apart from the open bottom and from the two front sides a fully enclosed recording room 145 created so that in particular from the side of the mounting rail arrangement 110 There is no risk of dust or moisture entering this storage room 145 can penetrate. In this way, the protection against external influences can be significantly increased, so that in a simple and elegant way there is the possibility to realize a light band, which corresponds to a so-called. Higher protection class.

To achieve this level of protection is of course required that the receiving space 145 for the electrical and electronic components of the lighting system 100 is also closed by the light exit side.

This is the light band system 100 according to the 1-3 through a cover 150 achieved, which initially a plate-shaped elongated, consisting of a light-transmitting material light exit element 151 as well as on both sides of the light exit element 151 extending fastening profiles 152 having. The shape of the lateral attachment profiles is here - as can be seen - to the shape of the lower end portions of the profile part 140 adapted, allowing a clamping or positive connection between both elements 140 . 150 over the entire length is achieved.

Such a cover 150 is, as already mentioned above, from an earlier application ( WO 2014/174019 A1 ) and in turn has the advantage that it is so flexible that it can be wound from the elongated state into a roll. This is achieved by the fact that the material for the light exit element 151 is chosen such that this is at least limp, and the lateral attachment profiles are formed from a more flexible material. Again arise as well as the profile part 140 the same benefits, namely that the cover 150 be transported in the rolled-up state much easier to the place of use and there to the desired length, preferably the total length of the lighting system 100 corresponds, can be cut off.

The resulting one-piece embodiment of the cover 150 and thus in particular of the light exit element 151 not only has the consequence that, as described above, the recording room 145 In addition, it also leads to optical advantages in terms of light output, since no joints, gaps or other gaps arise over the light can escape unhindered. With the help of in the 1-3 illustrated lighting strip system 100 Thus, a homogeneous and uniform light output can be achieved over a long distance.

With the help of the solution described above so that of the profile parts 140 . 150 enclosed recording room 145 of the light band 100 can be sealed in a simple manner over its entire length. Problems arise, however, when at certain points the cover 150 should be interrupted. This may, for example, be required or desired if a sensor required to control the system is outside the receiving space 145 should be positioned, the detection means otherwise through the translucent light exit element 151 However, the sensor, despite everything with the inside of the recording room 145 running cables 131 should be connected. It may also be desired, for example, at certain points of the light band 100 Spotlights or comparable additional lighting units to position, in addition to the general homogeneous light output of the light band strongly directed light, for example, specifically to illuminate certain objects. In particular, however, may also be desirable at certain positions of the light band 100 to arrange an emergency light or a so-called escape sign light.

In this case, at least the passage of the lines requires an interruption of the cover 150 or the introduction of an opening, so that the sealing enclosure of the receiving space 145 would be at risk. In order to be able to achieve a seal despite this even in this area of the interruption or opening, according to the present invention, a cover element is used, which is generally designated by the reference numeral 20 provided and in different views in the 4-6 is shown.

The cover element 20 is here - as in particular 6 can be removed - in cross-section C-shaped with a bottom surface 21 and two substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 aligned side surfaces 25 , Both side surfaces 25 are executed in the illustrated embodiment, approximately trapezoidal, but could also be designed otherwise. It is essential that they are at their bottom surface 21 opposite ends inwardly projecting projections 26 having a latching with the DIN rail assembly 110 of the light band 100 enable. The embodiment of the cover 20 should accordingly be such that the side surfaces 25 can easily emigrate sideways to snap on the DIN rail assembly 110 to enable. As conceivable materials for the cover 20 So come in particular plastics in question, but also the design as a sheet metal part would be conceivable.

Decisive for the sealing function of the cover 20 However, one is at the bottom surface 21 arranged sealing insert 30 , the inside of the floor area 21 covering, but especially two perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 longitudinally extending sealing webs 31 having. Ideally, this sealing insert 30 with the sealing webs 31 from a compared to the material of the body of the cover 20 more flexible material formed to the sealing effect of the sealing webs 31 to improve. The insert can accordingly as a separate element subsequently in the main body of the cover 20 used and, for example, be glued to this or it would be a production in a two-component injection molding process or in a comparable way conceivable.

It is essential that the positioning and design of the sealing webs 31 such is that these in the attached state of the cover 20 on the inner surfaces of the first profile part 140 abutment, so here the function of the fastening profiles 152 the cover 150 take. In 6 here is dashed approximately the position of the first profile part 140 represented, so that it can be seen in what way the sealing effect between the first profile part 140 and the sealing insert 30 of the cover 20 is achieved. The arrangement of the sealing webs 31 thus corresponds approximately to the arrangement of the fastening profiles 152 ,

For bridging a transition region between two spaced sections of the cover 150 So is the cover 20 as in 7 shown on the mounting rail system 110 snapped. Latching by means of lugs 26 that the mounting rail system 110 overlap laterally, this has the consequence that in particular the sealing element 30 with the sealing webs 31 under pressure from the underside of the profile part 140 is applied. At the same time lies the sealing element 30 flat on the undersides of the covers 150 in the respective end areas, so that in fact a complete circumferential seal is achieved in the transition region. Breaking the cover 150 So does not affect negatively on the enclosure of the interior 145 out.

At the bottom surface 21 of the cover 20 as well as the possibly separate sealing insert 30 is then an implementation opening 22 formed, in the illustrated embodiment, in addition with a spout 23 is provided. Through this opening 22 and the spout 23 then lines can be passed to an electrical connection between outside of the receiving space 145 positioned units and within the recording room 145 extending lines 131 make. Possibly. can the cover 20 have on its underside additional means which allow a mechanical support or attachment of the additional unit (s). The additional unit does not necessarily have to be directly on the cover 20 be attached but can also have a in 6 schematically indicated boom 35 with the cover element 20 be connected.

In the same way, however, it would also be conceivable that the additional units by means of further fastening measures directly to the mounting rail system 110 are attached. Furthermore, in a modification of the illustrated variant may also be provided, the passage opening 22 including the spout 23 to design differently and / or multiple passage openings on the cover 20 provided.

One in this way on the outside of the lighting system 100 positioned unit must then still with the within the lighting system 100 extending passage lines 131 in particular, it is desired that this joining and thus ultimately the positioning of the additional unit at any point in the longitudinal direction of the lighting system 100 can be done.

In the event that the additional unit is an emergency light, there may also be the problem that it must be ensured that the corresponding lines are actually contacted. The problem with the use of emergency lighting lights is that they usually require additional lines for the emergency power supply, but as a rule only a limited number of lines can be contacted by the contacting elements. A known light band system of the applicant, for example, uses for the so-called. Basic supply (3 phases, neutral and earth) and for the signal transmission a total of 7 wires or lines, which are also readily contactable by known from the prior art Kontaktierungsbuchsen. However, if now the system to be extended to an emergency lighting, so for example four additional lines are required, which are then no longer readily contactable.

According to a preferred embodiment, therefore, a special cable guide is provided, which will be explained in more detail below.

So on the one hand within the lighting system 100 At predetermined positions contacting possibilities for the basic supply are made available, on the other hand, however, despite all the possibility to open, in addition to any position, the lines - which should actually be contacted - to contact.

In order to fulfill both tasks, according to the present invention initially provided, at regular intervals contacting elements 160 to arrange, as in the 8th and 9 are shown. These are contacting elements 160 , which are designed for a seven-pin version and in principle already known in terms of their structure. Within these contacting elements 160 So then are the lines to be contacted 131 The basic supply isolation-free before and can be contacted using a suitable plug of a light module or other unit. The peculiarity of the illustrated contacting elements 160 is that on both sides of the contacting area 161 , So that area, in which by means of a plug, the lines 131 primary care can be contacted, wire holding springs 164 or guide wings are provided, the lateral along leading additional unused lines 131 For example, allow for an emergency power supply. The leadership here is additionally by side arms 167 supports, which is a locking of the contacting element in the receiving space 145 enable. In the present case, so left and right to two sides of the contacting area in each case two lines 131 guided, which do not hinder the contacting process due to their local storage, but then in the longitudinal direction at other positions - if necessary - can be used.

For this purpose, it is provided that further two-part contacting elements are made available at any point in the longitudinal direction of the lighting system 100 can be arranged. In this case, first a first insert in the receiving space is positioned at the desired location and it will now be those isolated lines 131 engaged in this mission, which should actually be contacted. Using an attachment containing suitable cutting sockets, the insulation of the inserted lines is then penetrated and the wires can be contacted again by means of a corresponding connector. These second freely positionable contacting elements then also preferably have lateral wire holding springs, which allow the unused lines to pass laterally.

Overall, this means that even in more complex systems with a plurality of longitudinally extending lines can be contacted selectively and in a simple but reliable way exactly those lines that should be actually used by the appropriate unit.

Thus, the described measures according to the invention result in that the light band system in terms of its design again significantly more flexible compared to previously known solutions, despite all, however, the possibility is opened to achieve a so-called. Higher protection class.
