Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Adapter für eine einseitig gesockelte Niederdruckentladungslampe, deren Sockel mindestens zwei Kontaktstifte aufweist, wobei der Adapter aus einem Gehäuse mit einem für Glühlampen gebräuchlichen Sockel besteht und an der Oberseite des Gehäuses Aufnahmen für die Kontaktstifte sowie im Innern des Gehäuses die Kontaktstifte aufnehmende Gegenkontakte vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to an adapter for a low-pressure discharge lamp with a base on one side, the base of which has at least two contact pins, the adapter consisting of a housing with a base customary for incandescent lamps and receptacles for the contact pins on the top of the housing and mating contacts receiving the contact pins in the interior of the housing are provided.
Adapter, die den Anschluß von Entladungslampen, insbesondere von kleinen Leuchtstofflampen, direkt in eine für Glühlampen vorgesehene Leuchte ermöglichen, sind in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Als ein Beispiel hierfür sei das DE-GM 82 33 763 angeführt. Hier sind jeweils zwei mit einem Stiftsockel versehene einseitig gesockelte Kompaktleuchtstofflampen auf einem eine Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung halternden Körper in Fassungen montiert. Die dargestellten Formen weisen jedoch eine große Breite auf, so daß der Adapter nicht in jede Leuchte einsetzbar ist und die Einsatzmöglichkeiten entsprechend beschränkt sind.Adapters that enable the connection of discharge lamps, in particular small fluorescent lamps, directly into a lamp intended for incandescent lamps are known in various embodiments. An example of this is DE-GM 82 33 763. Here, two compact fluorescent lamps with a pin base are mounted on a body holding a ballast and ignition device. However, the shapes shown have a large width, so that the adapter cannot be used in every lamp and the possible uses are correspondingly limited.
Eine andere Art eines Adapters ist nach der US-A-3,815,080 bekannt. Dieser Adapter mit Schraubsockel ist für eine zweiendige langgestreckte Leuchtstofflampe vorgesehen, deren Anschlußkontakte sich an einem der beiden Lampenenden befinden. Das Adaptergehäuse ist mit einem Schraubsockel versehen. An der Oberseite befinden sich Aufnahmen mit Kontakten für die Kontaktstifte der Lampe. Das Gehäuseinnere besteht aus elektrischem Isolationsmaterial, in das ein Vorschalttransformator eingelassen ist.Another type of adapter is known from US-A-3,815,080. This adapter with screw base is intended for a double-ended elongated fluorescent lamp, the connection contacts of which are located on one of the two lamp ends. The adapter housing is provided with a screw base. At the top there are receptacles with contacts for the contact pins of the lamp. The interior of the housing is made of electrical insulation material, into which a ballast transformer is embedded.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Adapter für eine einseitig gesockelte Leuchtstofflampe zu schaffen, der eine kompakte Bauform aufweist, leicht zu montieren ist und der einen sicheren Betrieb der Leuchtstofflampe gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide an adapter for a fluorescent lamp with a base on one side, which has a compact design, is easy to assemble and which ensures safe operation of the fluorescent lamp.
Der Adapter für eine einseitig gesockelte Niederdruckentladungslampe mit den im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs genannten Merkmalen ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß am Oberteil des zweiteiligen Gehäuses eine zylindrische Aufnahme für einen Führungszapfen des Lampensockels angeformt ist und im Innern des Gehäuses eine Montageplatte angeordnet ist, die die Aufnahme für den Führungszapfen mindestens teilweise umgibt und auf der die Gegenkontakte befestigt sind. Die Gegenkontakte sind als federnde, den Kontaktstift zweiseitig umschließende Kontaktfahnen ausgebildet. Weiterhin sind die Gegenkontakte zur Befestigung auf der Montageplatte mit Befestigungsfahnen und zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Montageplatte mit Kontaktfahnen versehen. Auf diese Weise wird die Lampe von dem Oberteil des zweiteiligen Adapters mechanisch gehaltert, während die elektrische Kontaktierung getrennt vom Oberteil über die Gegenkontakte auf der Montageplatte erfolgt, die wiederum zwischen dem Unterteil mit dem Oberteil des Adapters befestigt ist.The adapter for a single-ended low-pressure discharge lamp with the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim is characterized in that a cylindrical receptacle for a guide pin of the lamp base is formed on the upper part of the two-part housing and a mounting plate is arranged in the interior of the housing, which is the receptacle for the Guide pin at least partially surrounds and on which the mating contacts are attached. The counter contacts are designed as resilient contact lugs enclosing the contact pin on both sides. Furthermore, the mating contacts for attachment to the mounting plate are provided with mounting tabs and for electrical contacting of the mounting plate with contact tabs. In this way, the lamp is mechanically supported by the upper part of the two-part adapter, while the electrical contact is made separately from the upper part via the mating contacts on the mounting plate, which in turn is fastened between the lower part and the upper part of the adapter.
Auf der Montageplatte ist außerdem die Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung für den Lampenbetrieb montiert. Hier-für sind konventionelle, induktive Geräte geeignet, jedoch werden wegen ihres geringeren Gewichts und ihrer höheren Lichtausbeute häufig elektronisch arbeitende Geräte bevorzugt.The ballast and ignition device for lamp operation is also mounted on the mounting plate. Conventional inductive devices are suitable for this, however, because of their lower weight and their higher luminous efficacy, electronically operating devices are often preferred.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Hand von drei Figuren näher erläutert:
Figur 1 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen Adapter entsprechend der ErfindungFigur 2 zeigt eine Ausführungsform eines Kontaktelements im DetailFigur 3 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Kontaktelementes
- Figure 1 shows a section through an adapter according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a contact element in detail
- Figure 3 shows a further embodiment of a contact element
Der Adapter 1 der Figur 1 besteht aua einem Oberteil 2 und einem Unterteil 3, die mittels einer Schnappverbindung miteinander unlösbar befestigt sind. An das Oberteil 2 ist eine zylindrische Aufnahme 4 angeformt, in der ein Führungszapfen 5 des Sockels 6 einer Leuchtstofflampe 7 eingeführt ist. Der Führungazapfen 5 ist mit Haltenasen (nicht erkennbar) versehen, hinter denen Schnappfedern 8 eingreifen und so den Sockel 6 der Lampe 7 in der Aufnahme 4 mechanisch haltern. Der obere abgesetzte Teil der Aufnahme 4 ist mit Aufnahmen 9 versehen, durch die die Kontaktstifte 10 des Sockela 6 in den Innenteil des Adapters 1 ragen.The
Zwischen dem Unterteil 3 und dem Oberteil 2 des Adapters 1 ist eine Montageplatte 11 mittels Klemmung befestigt, auf der die Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung 12 montiert ist. Hierfür ist ein induktives Vorschaltgerät mit Starter oder ein elektronisches Vorschaltgerät gleichermaßen geeignet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Montageplatte 11 eine Leiterplatte, auf der die Bauteile eines Hochfrequenzvorschaltgerätes angeordnet sind. Dieses bietet die Vorteile einer höheren Lichtausbeute der Lampe sowie des gegenüber einem konventionellen Vorschaltgerät wesentlich verringerten Gewichts. Des weiteren sind in die Montageplatte 11 Kontaktelemente 13, 13' eingelassen und dort mittels Verschränken ihrer Befestigungsfahnen 14, 14' befestigt (Figuren 2 und 3). Die oberen Kontaktfahnen 15, 15' sind zunächst im spitzen Winkel zueinander gebogen und öffnen sich dann nach oben wieder, um das Einführen der Kontaktstifte 10 zu erleichtern. Insgesamt sind je nach Ausführungsform der Lampe zwei oder vier dieser Kontaktelemente 13, 13' auf der Montageplatte 11 angeordnet, wobei jedem Kontaktelement 13, 13' ein Kontaktstift 10 der Leuchtstofflampe 7 zugeordnet ist.Between the
Die Kontaktelemente 13, 13' bestehen vorzugsweise aus vernickelter Federbronze, um einerseits eine dauerhafte Federwirkung und Korrosionsbeständigkeit zu haben und andererseits das Verlöten der Kontaktfahnen 16 (Figur 2) mit der Leiterplatte 11 zu erleichtern, sofern nicht eine lötfreie elektrische Verbindung mittels federnder Kontaktfahnen 16' (Figur 3) bevorzugt wird.The
Am unteren Bereich des Unterteils 3 ist weiterhin ein Sockel 17 befestigt, wie er gewöhnlich für Glühlampen verwendet wird. Ein Kontaktelement 13 sowie die Vorschalt- und Zündvorrichtung 12 sind elektrisch mit dem Sockel 17 verbunden, so daß der Betrieb der Lampe 7 über den Adapter 1 direkt in einer für Glühlampen vorgesehenen Fassung einer Leuchte erfolgen kann.At the bottom of the
