Abstract

The adaptor has a housing (1) with a locking device (3) and sprung contact tongues (2), and can be connected to multi-phase, commercially available busbars of U-shaped construction. An electronic transformer (4) is arranged inside the housing (1) which is at least partially immersed in the busbar. In order to construct the adaptor for direct operation of low-voltage radiators, such that it is as inconspicuous as possible in the operating state and contains various selection and control capabilities, the electronic transformer (4) is constructed from two circuit boards (4a, 4c) which are connected to one another in a T-shape. The circuit board (4a) forming the web is arranged inside the housing (1) in a narrower housing section (1') which is immersed in the busbar and additionally holds the preselectable contact tongues (2) and parts of the locking device (3) in the rail direction, adjacent to the circuit board (4a). The second circuit board (4c), which forms the flange, is arranged with the output transformer (4d) in a broader housing section (1'') which is matched to the width of the busbar. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Adapter zum Anschluß an mehrphasige, U-förmig ausgebildete, handelsübliche Stromschienen, mit einem eine Verriegelungseinrichtung sowie federnde Kontaktzungen aufweisenden, in die jeweilige Stromschiene zumindest teilweise eintauchenden Gehäuse und einem innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordneten elektronischen Transformator, dessen Ausgang als Niedervolt-Anschluß insbesondere für Strahlerleuchten ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to an adapter for connection to multi-phase, U-shaped, commercially available busbars, with a locking device and resilient contact tongues, at least partially immersed in the respective busbar housing and an electronic transformer arranged within the housing, the output of which as a low-voltage connection is designed in particular for spotlights.

Ein derartiger Adapter ist beispielsweise aus dem DE-GM 88 00 307 bekannt. Hierbei wird an ein bestehendes Gehäuse mit Verriegelungsvorrichtung, Kontakten und elektrischen Anschlußmitteln ein zweites, den Transformator aufnehmendes Gehäuseteil angebaut. Die beiden Gehäuse sind sowohl elektrisch als auch mechanisch lösbar miteinander verbunden. Durch das Zusatzgehäuse für den Transformator baut dieser Adapter sehr groß und wirkt optisch "klotzig".Such an adapter is known for example from DE-GM 88 00 307. In this case, a second housing part accommodating the transformer is attached to an existing housing with a locking device, contacts and electrical connection means. The two housings are detachably connected to one another both electrically and mechanically. Thanks to the additional housing for the transformer, this adapter is very large and looks "bulky".

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Adapter der eingangs genannten Art zum direkten Betrieb von Niedervolt-Strahlern an mehrphasigen Stromschienen so auszubilden, daß er im Betriebszustand möglichst unauffällig ist, verschiedene Wahl- und Regelmöglichkeiten beinhaltet und zugleich preiswert herstellbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide an adapter of the type mentioned for the direct operation of low-voltage emitters on multi-phase tracks so that it is as inconspicuous as possible in the operating state, contains various options and control options and is also inexpensive to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Adapter mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by an adapter with the characterizing features of claim 1. Further developments and advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Adapter ist insofern vorteilhaft, als er mit seinem Gehäuse in handelsübliche Stromschienen mit drei Phasenleitern tief eintaucht. Der zugehörige schmale Gehäuseabschnitt nimmt dabei nahezu die gesamte elektronische Schaltung des Transformators auf, so daß der vorhandene Freiraum zwischen den Schenkeln der Stromschiene optimal genutzt wird. Lediglich der massive, in seinen Abmessungen jedoch minimierte Ausgangsübertrager ist im niedrig gehaltenen Gehäuseabschnitt außerhalb der Stromschiene angeordnet. Das gesamte, optisch gefällige Adaptergehäuse ist dabei nicht breiter als die Stromschiene selbst und kommt formal einem Stromabnehmer für Normalspannung nahe. Das sehr klein aufbauende Gehäuse wird besonders durch eine T-förmige Anordnung von zwei miteinander verbundenen Schaltungsplatinen für den elektronischen Transformator erreicht, wobei der Ausgangsübertrager "hängend" auf der der Stromschiene abgekehrten Seite der einen Schaltungsplatine angeordnet ist. Außerdem ist der aus der Stromschiene vorstehende Gehäuseabschnitt an den beiden Längsseiten stufenförmig ausgebildet, so daß sich dort Bedienungselemente für einen Lichtstärke-Regler sowie zur Phasenwahl unauffällig anordnen lassen.The adapter according to the invention is advantageous in that it deeply immerses its housing in commercially available busbars with three phase conductors. The associated narrow housing section takes up almost the entire electronic circuit of the transformer, so that the available space between the legs of the busbar is optimally used. Only the massive output transformer, which is however minimized in its dimensions, is arranged outside the power rail in the housing section which is kept low. The entire, visually pleasing adapter housing is not wider than the conductor rail itself and is formally close to a pantograph for normal voltage. The very small housing is achieved in particular by a T-shaped arrangement of two interconnected circuit boards for the electronic transformer, the output transformer being arranged "hanging" on the side of the one circuit board facing away from the busbar. In addition, the protruding housing section from the busbar is stepped on the two long sides, so that controls for a light intensity controller and for phase selection can be arranged inconspicuously.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung nachstehend näher erläutert.

The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of the drawing.
Fig. 1
shows the adapter in a schematically simplified, partially sectioned view together with the essential contours of the housing formed from two half-shells, of which in
Fig. 2
a half-shell is shown in a bottom view.
Fig. 3
shows a cross section through the adapter housing with indicated second half-shell, while in
Fig. 4
a simplified longitudinal section in the plane of the lower circuit board and in
Fig. 5
a plan view are shown in accordance with FIG. 1.

Der Adapter hat ein längliches Gehäuse (1), das im wesentlichen aus zwei, eine Vielzahl von Bauteilen aufnehmenden Halbschalen (1a, 1b) gebildete ist. Die beiden Halbschalen mit in Längsrichtung einer nicht dargestellten Stromschiene orientierter Trennfuge (1c) werden nach der Montage der Einbauteile gegenseitig verbunden und bilden zusammen ein geschlossenes, schlankgeformtes Gehäuse mit einem stegartigen schmaleren Gehäuseabschnitt (1') und einem breiteren, an den Längsenden gerundet ausgebildeten Gehäuseabschnitt (1''). Der schmalere Gehäuseabschnitt (1') ist in seiner Höhe und Breite auf den Freiraum zwischen den Schenkeln der U-förmigen, handelsüblichen Stromschiene abgestimmt und füllt diesen nahezu aus.The adapter has an elongated housing (1) which is essentially formed from two half shells (1a, 1b) which accommodate a large number of components. The two half-shells with a joint (1c) oriented in the longitudinal direction of a busbar, not shown, are mutually connected after the installation of the built-in parts and together form a closed, slim-shaped housing with a web-like, narrow housing section (1 ') and a wider housing section which is rounded at the longitudinal ends (1''). The height and width of the narrower housing section (1 ') is matched to the space between the legs of the U-shaped, commercially available busbar and almost fills it.

In einem Teilbereich des schmaleren Gehäuseabschnitts (1') sind lediglich angedeutete einstellbare Kontaktzungen (2) und Verriegelungsmittel (3) angeordnet, die auf bekannte Art mit der Stromschiene zusammenwirken und dabei die mechanische sowie elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Stromschiene und dem Adapter herstellen.In a partial area of the narrower housing section (1 ') only indicated adjustable contact tongues (2) and locking means (3) are arranged, which cooperate with the busbar in a known manner and thereby establish the mechanical and electrical connection between the busbar and the adapter.

Der neben den Kontaktzungen und Verriegelungsmitteln liegende etwa gleichgroße Teilbereich des schmaleren Gehäuseabschnittes (1') nimmt eine Schaltungsplatine (4a) als Baugruppe eines elektronischen Transformators (4) auf, der die Netzspannung der Stromschiene vorzugsweise auf 12 Volt herunter transformiert. Die Schaltungsplatine (4a) mit nahezu allen elektronischen Bauteilen (4b) des Transformators taucht tief in den stegförmigen Gehäuseabschnitt (1') ein, füllt diesen in Schienenlängsrichtung aus und ist ihrerseits auf ihrer Schmalseite mit einer zweiten Schaltungsplatine (4c) verbunden, so daß sich in der Seitenansicht eine umgekehrt T-förmige Anordnung der beiden Schaltungsplatinen (4a, 4c) ergibt (Fig. 3). Die in einer waagerechten Ebene angeordnete Schaltungsplatine (4c) nimmt an ihrer Unterseite als wesentliches Bauteil einen massiven Ausgangsübertrager (4d) auf, der in seinen Abmessungen sehr klein gehalten und optimal auf den Adapter abgestimmt ist. Seine Bauhöhe gibt die Höhe des breiteren Gehäuseabschnittes (1'') vor, so daß aufgrund sehr niedriger Bauhöhen und seiner "hängenden" Anordnung das Gehäuse im Betriebszustand nur wenig aus der Stromschiene hervorsteht. Die Breite des Ausgangsübertragers (4d) ist ebenfalls minimiert und auf die Stromschiene abgestimmt, so daß das etwa 35 mm breite Gehäuse im Abschnitt (1'') der Breite der Stromschiene entspricht.The approximately the same size portion of the narrower housing section (1 ') next to the contact tongues and locking means receives a circuit board (4a) as an assembly of an electronic transformer (4), which preferably transforms the mains voltage of the busbar down to 12 volts. The circuit board (4a) with almost all electronic components (4b) of the transformer plunges deeply into the web-shaped housing section (1 ') and fills it in the longitudinal direction of the rail and is in turn connected on its narrow side to a second circuit board (4c), so that there is an inverted T-shaped arrangement of the two circuit boards (4a, 4c) in the side view (FIG. 3). The circuit board (4c), which is arranged in a horizontal plane, accommodates a massive output transformer (4d) on its underside, which is kept very small in size and is optimally matched to the adapter. Its overall height specifies the height of the wider housing section (1 ''), so that due to its very low overall height and its "hanging" arrangement, the housing protrudes only slightly from the busbar in the operating state. The width of the output transformer (4d) is also minimized and matched to the busbar, so that the approximately 35 mm wide housing in section (1 '') corresponds to the width of the busbar.

Der eine Gesamtlänge von maximal 190 mm aufweisende Adapter ist im breiteren Gehäuseabschnitt (1'') an den beiden Enden jeweils stufenförmig verkürzt ausgebildet, so daß im eingebauten Zustand des Adapters von der Gesamtlänge nur eine flache Zone mit etwa 9 mm Höhe sichtbar ist. Hingegen ist das überwiegende, sichtbare Bauvolumen in der Länge auf etwa 130 mm reduziert und zusätzlich an den Enden verrundet (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). An der stufig abgesetzten Unterseite des Adapters sind insbesondere Betätigungseinrichtungen für einen integrierten Lichtstärke-Regler (5) sowie für einen mit den Kontaktzungen (2) zusammenwirkenden Phasenwähler (6) angeordnet, die damit für eine Bedienungsperson gut zugänglich sind.The adapter, which has a total length of a maximum of 190 mm, is formed in a stepwise shortening at the two ends in the wider housing section (1 ''), so that when the adapter is installed, only a flat zone with a height of approximately 9 mm is visible from the overall length. On the other hand, the predominant, visible construction volume is reduced in length to about 130 mm and additionally rounded at the ends (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). Actuating devices for an integrated light intensity regulator (5) and for a phase selector (6) interacting with the contact tongues (6) are arranged on the stepped underside of the adapter, which are thus easily accessible for an operator.

Gleiches gilt für einen nicht gezeigten Betätigungshebel im verkürzten Teil des breiteren Gehäuseabschnittes (1''), der mit den Verriegelungsmitteln (3) als wesentlichen Bauteilen der Verriegelungseinrichtung zusammenwirkt. In diesem Bereich des Gehäuses sind in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform an dessen Unterseite zwei Niedervolt-Steckverbindungen (7) angeordnet, die als direkte Anschlüsse von nicht gezeigten Strahlerleuchten dienen. Solche Niedervolt-Strahler können damit im Design ohne Rücksicht auf einen eigenen Transformator ausgebildet sein, während der erfindungsgemäße Adapter mit eingebautem elektronischen Transformator in seinem Bauvolumen nur geringfügig von bekannten Formen eines Universal-Adapters für Normalspannung abweicht.The same applies to an operating lever, not shown, in the shortened part of the wider housing section (1 ''), which interacts with the locking means (3) as essential components of the locking device. In this area of the housing, in the preferred embodiment, two low-voltage plug connections (7) are arranged on the underside of the housing, which serve as direct connections to spotlights (not shown). Such low-voltage radiators can thus be designed without regard to their own transformer, while the volume of the adapter according to the invention with built-in electronic transformer deviates only slightly from known forms of a universal adapter for normal voltage.
