Abstract

For the purpose of easy and rapid installation of lighting trunking, the required through-wiring can be formed on the side of the mounting rail as a conductor rail. Such conductor rails represent a not inconsiderable outlay in terms of production engineering. In order to reduce the expenditure of production engineering in conjunction with the use of the conductor rail engineering suitable for rapid and easy installation, it is proposed to implement the through-wiring on the side of the mounting rail (1) in the manner of a conductor rail from insulated conducting wires (2), which are arranged at a close spacing next to one another and are fixed in extension of the mounting rail (1) in freely selectable sections in cable holders (3, 30) attached to the mounting rail (1). The insulated conducting wires (2) have a bared wire section (2.1) inside the cable holders (3, 30), so that the cable holders (3, 30) simultaneously enable the function of a socket-contact, to which on the side of the basic battens (4, 40, 40.0, 41, 42, 43, 44) plugs (7, 70, 71) having resilient contact elements (7.2, 70.2) are assigned. <IMAGE>

Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Lichtband, bestehend aus einer Tragschiene mit Leuchteneinsätzen, bei dem die elektrische Verdrahtung fest in die Tragschiene eingebaut ist und die Leuchteneinsätze über Steckkupplungen mit der Verdrahtung verbindbar sind.The invention relates to a light band consisting of a mounting rail with luminaire inserts, in which the electrical wiring is permanently installed in the mounting rail and the luminaire inserts can be connected to the wiring via plug-in couplings.

Zugrundeliegender Stand der TechnikUnderlying state of the art

Von einem solchen Aufbau Gebrauch machende Lichtbänder sind beispielsweise durch die Literaturstelle DE-OS 21 04 707 bekannt. Die Durchgangsverdrahtung ist hier in Form von zueinander parallelen Leitern in Längsnuten der Tragschiene untergebracht. Die Leuchteneinsätze weisen ihrerseits Stecker mit federnden Kontaktelementen auf, die beim Einsetzen in die Tragschiene in die Längsnuten eingreifen und den gewünschten elektrischen Kontakt mit den Leitern herstellen.Light strips making use of such a structure are known, for example, from the literature DE-OS 21 04 707. The through wiring is accommodated in the form of parallel conductors in the longitudinal grooves of the mounting rail. The luminaire inserts in turn have plugs with resilient contact elements which engage in the longitudinal grooves when inserted in the mounting rail and produce the desired electrical contact with the conductors.

Die Anwendung einer solchen Stromschienentechnik bei an Tragschienen zu befestigenden Leuchteneinsätzen ermöglicht in vorteilhafter Weise eine leichte und schnelle Montage von Lichtbänder. Die Herstellung der als Stromschienen gestalteten Tragschienen ist fertigungstechnisch relativ aufwendig, weil die in die Nuten einzubringenden Leiter ein Spezialprofil benötigen und, sofern das Tragschienenmaterial aus einem metallischen Werkstoff besteht, spezielle Isolationsmaßnahmen zwischen den Leitern und den sie aufnehmenden Nuten erforderlich sind.The use of such a busbar technology in luminaire inserts to be fastened to mounting rails advantageously enables light strips to be installed easily and quickly. The production of the mounting rails designed as busbars is relatively complex in terms of production technology, because the conductors to be inserted into the grooves require a special profile and, if the mounting rail material consists of a metallic material, special insulation measures between the conductors and the grooves receiving them are required.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine weitere Lösung für ein Lichtband anzugeben, das ebenfalls eine leichte und schnelle Montage der an der Tragschiene anzubringenden Leuchteneinsätze ermöglicht, jedoch ohne die fertigungstechnisch aufwendige Stromschienentechnik auskommt.The invention has for its object to provide a further solution for a light band, which also enables easy and quick installation of the luminaire inserts to be attached to the mounting rail, but does not require the production-technically complex busbar technology.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß die Verdrahtung auch nach Art einer Stromschiene aus in geringem Abstand nebeneinander angeordneten isolierten Leitungsdrähten vorgenommen werden kann, die in Erstreckung der Tragschiene in frei wählbaren Abständen in an der Tragschiene befestigten Leitungshaltern fixiert sind, die zugleich die Funktion von Steckbuchsen übernehmen. Hierdurch wird zwar der Zugriff auf die Durchgangsverdrahtung jeweils auf die Orte der Leitungshalter beschränkt. Wie die Praxis zeigt, kann diese Beschränkung aber hingenommen werden, da die Leuchteneinsätze weitgehend in ihren Abmessungen festliegen und es auch keine Schwierigkeiten bereitet, die Leitungshalter nach Ort und gegenseitigem Abstand am Boden der Tragschiene so anzuordnen, daß stets die gewünschte Zuordnung zu den Steckern der die Tragschiene aufnehmenden Leuchteneinsätze gewährleistet ist.The invention is based on the finding that the wiring can also be carried out in the manner of a busbar from insulated conductor wires arranged at a short distance from one another, which are fixed in the support rail at freely selectable intervals in line holders fastened to the support rail, which at the same time function as Take over sockets. As a result, access to the through wiring is restricted to the locations of the line holders. As practice shows, this limitation can be accepted, since the luminaire inserts are largely fixed in their dimensions and it is also not difficult to arrange the cable holder according to location and mutual distance on the bottom of the mounting rail so that the desired assignment to the plugs of the the mounting rail receiving luminaire inserts is guaranteed.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes nach Anspruch 1 sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the subject matter according to claim 1 are specified in the further claims 2 to 7.

Bester Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungBest way to carry out the invention

Die Explosionsdarstellung nach Fig. 1 zeigt ein Stück einer Tragschiene 1 mit U-förmigem Profil, deren freie Schenkelenden einen nach innen gebogenen Rand 1.1 aufweisen. Der Boden der Tragschiene 1 hat in der Mitte eine nach innen gerichtete nutförmige Ausformung 1.2, auf der, wie insbesondere die Aufsicht auf die Tragschiene 1 von unten nach Fig. 2 zeigt, in Erstreckung der Tragschiene im Abstand a Leitungshalter 3 befestigt sind. Die Leitungshalter 3 sind Kunststoffplatten, die mit ihrer Unterseite am Tragschienenboden befestigt sind und an ihrer Oberseite in Erstreckung der Tragschiene 1 zueinander parallele Nuten 3.2 aufweisen. Der Querschnitt der Nuten 3.2 hat, ausgehend von der Nutoberseite, einen sich zum Nutboden hin trichterförmig verjüngenden Einfädelschacht 3.21, an den sich eine zum Einfädelschacht 3.21 hin offene kreisförmige Leitungsdrahtkammer 3.22 anschließt. Die Leitungshalter 3 dienen der Halterung von in Erstreckung der Tragschiene 1 in geringem Abstand parallel zueinander angeordneten isolierten Leitungsdrähten 2 und werden hierzu von den Leitungsdrahtkammern 3.22 der Nuten 3.2 aufgenommen. Hierzu sind die Durchmesser der Leitungsdrahtkammern 3.22 der Nuten 3.2 dem Durchmesser der isolierten Leitungsdrähte 2 angepaßt. Um ein Verklemmen der isolierten Leitungsdrähte 2 in den Nuten 3.2 sicherzustellen, ist dabei die Breite der Öffnung im Querschnitt einer Nut 3.2 zwischen dem Einfädelschacht 3.21 und der Leitungsdrahtkammer 3.22 etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser der isolierten Leitungsdrähte 2 gewählt.1 shows a piece of a mounting rail 1 with a U-shaped profile, the free leg ends of which have an inwardly curved edge 1.1. The bottom of the mounting rail 1 has in the middle an inwardly directed groove-shaped configuration 1.2, on which, as shown in particular by the top view of the mounting rail 1 from below according to FIG. The line holders 3 are plastic plates which are fastened with their underside to the mounting rail base and have grooves 3.2 parallel to one another on their top side in the extent of the mounting rail 1. The cross section of the grooves 3.2, starting from the top of the groove, has a threading shaft 3.21 tapering in a funnel shape towards the groove bottom, to which there is a circular one open to the threading shaft 3.21 Line wire chamber 3.22 connects. The line holders 3 serve to hold insulated line wires 2 arranged parallel to one another at a short distance from one another in the extension of the mounting rail 1 and for this purpose are received by the line wire chambers 3.22 of the grooves 3.2. For this purpose, the diameter of the lead wire chambers 3.22 of the grooves 3.2 are adapted to the diameter of the insulated lead wires 2. In order to ensure that the insulated conductor wires 2 are jammed in the grooves 3.2, the width of the opening in the cross section of a groove 3.2 between the threading shaft 3.21 and the conductor wire chamber 3.22 is selected to be somewhat smaller than the diameter of the insulated conductor wires 2.

Wie Fig. 2 noch erkennen läßt, ist bei den Leitungsdrähten 2 jeweils im Mittenbereich durch Abtrennen der Isolation ein isolationsfreier Drahtabschnitt 2.1 geschaffen. Hierdurch wird es möglich, mit dem Leitungshalter 3 zugleich die Funktion der Steckbuchse einer aus Stecker und Steckbuchse bestehenden Steckkupplung zu verwirklichen.As can still be seen in FIG. 2, an insulation-free wire section 2.1 is created in the center region of the lead wires 2 by separating the insulation. This makes it possible, with the line holder 3, to simultaneously implement the function of the socket of a plug coupling consisting of a plug and socket.

Die beispielsweise an einer Decke oder an Aufhängern zu befestigende Tragschiene 1 mit U-förmigem Profil ermöglicht die Aufnahme von Leuchteneinsätzen 4. In Fig. 4 ist der dort gezeigte Leuchteneinsatz 4 ein Gehäuse 5 mit stirnseitigen Fassungshaltern 6, deren Fassungen 6.1 die Aufnahme einer Leuchtstofflampe ermöglichen. Die Leuchtstofflampe ist dabei außerhalb des Gehäuses 5 angeordnet. Das Gehäuse 5 nimmt neben der üblichen Verdrahtung noch den Stecker 7 auf, der auf seiten der Tragschiene 1 außer drei federnden Kontaktelementen 7.2, beispielsweise Druckkontaktstifte, seitlich eine Zentrierbuchse 7.1 aufweist. Beim Einsetzen der Leuchteneinheit 4 in die Tragschiene 1 greift zunächst der dem Stecker 7 auf seiten des Leuchteneinsatzes 4 zugeordnete Leitungshalter 3 auf seiten der Tragschiene mit seinem seitlich angebrachten Zentrierstift 3.1 in die steckerseitige Zentrierbuchse 7.1 ein. Im eingesetzten Zustand der Leuchteneinheit 4 in die Tragschiene 1 greifen weiterhin die federnden Kontaktelemente 7.2 des Steckers 7 in die ihnen zugeordneten Nuten 3.2 des Leitungshalters 3 ein und stellen beim Aufdrücken auf oder Andrücken an die isolationsfreien Drahtabschnittte 2.1 den gewünschten elektrischen Kontakt her. Anstelle des Steckers 7 in der Leuchteneinheit 4 nach Fig. 1, der hier ein selbständiges Bauteil darstellt, kann der Stecker auch integraler Bestandteil eines Bauteils der Leuchteneinheit 4 sein. Eine solche Variante zeigt die Seitenansicht eines stirnseitigen Fassungshalters 60, bei dem der Stecker 70 mit seinen federnden Kontkatelementen 70.2 fußseitig in den Fassungshalter 60 integriert ist. Bei Verwendung von Fassungshaltern nach Fig. 4 bei Leuchteneinsätzen 4 entsprechend Fig. 1 muß dann lediglich der einem Stecker 70 zugeordnete Leitungshalter 3 in Fig. 1 entweder nach links verschoben werden oder aber, sofern der gegenseitige Abstand a der Leitungshalter 3 gleich dem gegenseitigen Abstand der Fassungshalter 60 beim Leuchteneinsatz gewählt ist, der Leuchteneinsatz nach Fig. 4 nach rechts verschoben in die Tragschiene 1 eingesetzt werden. Zweckmäßig beträgt der gegenseitige Abstand a der Leitungshalter 3 307 mm. Bei diesem Abstand können die meisten für solche Lichtbänder gängigen Leuchteneinheiten aufgrund ihrer Abmessungen in beliebiger Reihenfolge in die Tragschiene 1 eingesetzt werden.The support rail 1 with a U-shaped profile, which is to be fastened, for example, to a ceiling or to hangers, enables the insertion of luminaire inserts 4. In FIG. 4, the luminaire insert 4 shown there is a housing 5 with front holder holders 6, the holders 6.1 of which enable a fluorescent lamp to be received . The fluorescent lamp is arranged outside the housing 5. In addition to the usual wiring, the housing 5 also accommodates the connector 7, which on the side of the mounting rail 1 has, in addition to three resilient contact elements 7.2, for example pressure contact pins, a centering bushing 7.1 on the side. When the luminaire unit 4 is inserted into the mounting rail 1, the line holder 3 assigned to the plug 7 on the side of the luminaire insert 4 engages with the laterally attached centering pin 3.1 in the centering socket 7.1 on the side of the mounting rail. In the inserted state of the lamp unit 4 in the mounting rail 1, the resilient contact elements 7.2 of the plug 7 continue to engage in the grooves 3.2 of the line holder 3 assigned to them and produce the desired electrical contact when pressed onto or pressed onto the insulation-free wire sections 2.1. Instead of the connector 7 in the lamp unit 4 according to FIG. 1, which here represents an independent component, the connector can also be an integral part of a component of the lamp unit 4. Such a variant shows the side view of a front holder 60, in which the plug 70 with its resilient contact elements 70.2 is integrated into the holder 60 on the foot side. When using socket holders according to FIG. 4 for luminaire inserts 4 corresponding to FIG. 1, then only the line holder 3 assigned to a plug 70 in FIG. 1 either has to be shifted to the left or, if the mutual distance a of the line holders 3 is equal to the mutual distance of the Socket holder 60 is selected for the luminaire insert, the luminaire insert according to FIG. 4 shifted to the right can be inserted into the mounting rail 1. The mutual distance a between the line holders 3 is expediently 307 mm. At this distance, most of the lighting units commonly used for such light strips can be inserted into the mounting rail 1 in any order due to their dimensions.
