. Luminaire and method for its assembly

The invention relates to a lamp for at least one rod-shaped discharge lamp with a luminaire component, on which the holder for each lamp and the electrical accessories are attached at opposite ends are. These accessories include in particular the electrical parts of the sockets and - when using a conventional ballast in the form of a choke Starter and possibly a compensation capacitor; when using an electronic ballast this includes all components of the circuit.

A lighting manufacturer usually needs a very broad Manufacture a range of luminaires whose structure is the same despite the same Lamps are fitted differently and, for example, through special lighting, aesthetic or installation technology Claims is determined. Almost as diverse as the mechanical and optical structure the electrical part and its wiring.

The invention is based on the object of the effort for the structure, wiring and functional testing of the electrical Lower part; it is based on insight from the fact that luminaires with the same lamp assembly do not differ electrically.

The inventive solution to this problem is characterized in a luminaire of the type mentioned at the outset, that an intermediate carrier is attached to the lamp component, which the functional wired electrical accessories carries, which via socket connection lines with detachable

Ren socket inserts is electrically connected and that each socket carrier has a receptacle into which a socket insert is used.

The invention thus makes it possible for a wide variety of Luminaire types with the same lamp equipment one to use an identical electrical assembly, which is then prefabricated and pre-tested in correspondingly large numbers can be. The test is particularly easy when the intermediate carrier and socket inserts are against one another have suitable means for provisionally holding the socket inserts on the intermediate carrier.

When using the invention, the different ones differ Luminaire types then only in terms of their mechanical structure, in particular also by means of socket carriers different heights. The luminaire components that differ in this way for luminaires with the same lamp equipment are then connected when ordering with the same prefabricated electrical components by the intermediate carrier with the accessories using corresponding fasteners mounted on the lighting component and the socket inserts in the receptacles on the lighting component Mounted socket carrier are inserted.

.

Even if the luminaire works without a conventional choke, without a starter and without a compensation capacitor if an electronic ballast is used instead, the invention can be used to advantage. Here is the one Intermediate carrier is the chassis on which the electronic components are attached.

When using a conventional ballast in In the form of a choke, sufficient cooling must be ensured, as both for the internal wiring and

temperature limits also determined for through wiring may not be exceeded. Fulfilling this condition is difficult as one is on the other hand tries to assemble the accessories in the smallest possible space, especially since the intermediate carrier with the accessories sometimes in the small, roughly triangular space behind a V-shaped roof reflector must be accommodated. In such a case, according to an advantageous development of the invention, an intermediate carrier is provided to be used with a U-shaped profile, one side wall of which is angled upwards to accommodate the internal wiring has, wherein a longitudinal slot in the bottom of the intermediate support the receiving space at least in the area of Throttle thermally decoupled.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims

The invention is illustrated in the figures with reference to the Embodiment explained in more detail; show it

carrier according to FIG 2.

In Figure 1, in addition to the electrical unit, one Light only a light component 1 shown, which can be designed very differently depending on the type of light can: In the case of a ceiling surface-mounted luminaire, this can be the cover plate, in the case of simpler system luminaires

but also a box-shaped part with a U * -shaped Cross-section. With this lamp component socket supports 11, 12 are connected, each having a receptacle 111 for Insertion of a socket insert 221, 222.

These recordings and the associated inserts are designed so that these socket inserts easily into the Insert the recordings and click into place. These lampholder supports are designed depending on the type of luminaire and optical Requirements for the same socket inserts have different heights. The electrical unit consists essentially from an intermediate carrier 21 with an approximately U-shaped profile, of which only the bottom 210 in FIG is shown. The electrical accessories, for example a choke 223, are a starter on this base 224 with socket, a compensation capacitor 227 and terminals 225, 226 attached. This accessory is functional electrically through internal wiring with one another and via socket connection lines 232 more sufficient Long connected to the socket inserts 221, 222. The intermediate carrier can additionally (not shown) Tongues for temporarily holding the socket inserts, with the latter having corresponding slots have: The loose socket inserts can then simply are put on the tongues and are thus better off for testing and temporary storage.

The invention thus creates a functional electrical Unit that can be prefabricated and tested. To connect this unit with the just requested.

Derten special, also separately manufactured lamp component 1 is then the intermediate carrier 21 via corresponding Connecting means 2102 'attached to the lighting component. the connecting means usually made of simple bores and screws inserted through. Then all you need is the version

inserts - if necessary after pulling off the tabs mentioned in the recordings of the holder to be inserted.

From Figure 2 is the substantially U-shaped profile of the Intermediate carrier 21 can be seen, which has a bottom 210 and has two upwardly angled side walls 211 and 212. The first side wall 211 has an outward direction extending receiving space 2110 for the internal wiring 251 / the against the throttle 223 by a cover 2112 is shielded and held in the receiving space 2110. Between the 'receiving space 2110 and the throttle 223 the bottom 210 has a slot 2101, which is at least extends along the length of the choke And the thermal. Decoupling is used.

On the outside of the second side wall 212 of the intermediate support 21, the through wiring 233 is held, which through this side wall at the same time against the throttle 223 is shielded.

In order to be able to accommodate the intermediate carrier in the smallest possible space with a triangular cross-section (cf. dashed lines), the outer wall 2111 of the receiving space 2110 forms a corresponding acute angle c ( a '.
