Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für ein Lampen-Vorschaltgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a housing for a lamp ballast according to the preamble of the claim 1.
Gehäuse für Vorschaltgeräte zum Betrieb von Entladungslampen und Halogenglühlampen setzen sich im wesentlichen aus einem Unter- und Oberteil mit rechteckigen Abmessungen zusammen. Bei den die Sicherheitsanforderungen der Schutzklassen I, II und III (IEC 65 bzw. VDE 0860) erfüllenden Gehäusen ist das Oberteil aus drei getrennten Abdeckkappen zusammengesetzt, wobei die mittlere Abdeckkappe nicht abnehmbar mit dem Unterteil verbunden ist und das Vorschaltgerät umgibt. Die seitlich rechts und links der mittleren Abdeckkappe angeordneten Kappen decken die elektrischen Netzanschlüsse bzw. Anschlüsse der Lampen an das Vorschaltgerät ab und sind aus Berührungsschutz- und Verschlußsicherheitsgründen mittels Schrauben lösbar am Unterteil befestigt.Ballast housing for the operation of discharge lamps and halogen bulbs sit in the essentially consisting of a lower and upper part rectangular dimensions together. With those Safety requirements of protection classes I, II and III (IEC 65 or VDE 0860) compliant housings is the top part of three separate cover caps assembled, with the middle cap is not detachably connected to the lower part and surrounds the ballast. The side right and caps to the left of the middle cap cover the electrical network connections or connections the lamps to the ballast from and are for protection against accidental contact and for security reasons detachable with screws on the lower part attached.
Die Befestigung der seitlichen Abdeckkappen mittels Schrauben stellt einen hohen Materialaufwand dar. Da die Schrauben aus Metall sind, muß außerdem ein Sicherheitsabstand zu aktiven, d.h. spannungsführenden Metallteilen von 8 mm und zu einfach isolierten spannungsführenden Leitungen, wie z.B. Netzleitungen, von 4 mm eingehalten werden, um den Sicherheitsanforderungen zu genügen. Dadurch vergrößern sich die erforderlichen Gehäuseabmessungen.The side cover caps are attached using Screws represent a high cost of materials. Since the screws are made of metal, a must Safety distance to active, i.e. energizing Metal parts of 8 mm and too easily insulated live lines, e.g. Power lines of 4 mm are adhered to the To meet security requirements. This will enlarge the required housing dimensions.
Neben der aufwendigeren Gehäuseendmontage bei der Fertigung ist die Verwendung von Schrauben zur Befestigung auch anwenderunfreundlich. Das Festschrauben der seitlichen Abdeckkappen gestaltet sich bei der Montage an schwer zugänglichen Stellen oft sehr mühsam. Außerdem können die Schrauben bei demontierten Kappen leicht verlorengehen.In addition to the more complex final assembly of the housing at Manufacturing is the use of screws for Attachment also unfriendly. Tightening of the side cover caps during assembly in hard-to-reach places often very tedious. You can also use the screws can easily be lost when the caps are removed.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Gehäuse für Vorschaltgeräte mit einem einfachen Befestigungsmechanismus für die seitlichen Abdeckkappen zu schaffen, der ohne Schrauben auskommt. Die Abdeckkappen sollten dabei den erforderlichen Berührungsschutz zu aktiven Metallteilen und die Einhaltung der benötigten Sicherheitsabstände erfüllen und nicht von Hand, d.h. ohne ein technisches Hilfsmittel abnehmbar sein.The object of the invention is to provide a housing for Ballasts with a simple mounting mechanism for the side cover caps, that works without screws. The cover caps should have the necessary protection against accidental contact to active metal parts and compliance with the meet the required safety distances and not by hand, i.e. without a technical aid be removable.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The task is characterized by the characteristics of claim 1 solved. Other advantageous features can be found in the subclaims.
Durch die senkrechten Rippen innen an den Längs-Seitenwänden der seitlichen Abdeckkappen, die in entsprechende Nuten der seitlichen Haltelaschen an der mittleren Abdeckkappe eingreifen, wird ein Abziehen der seitlichen Abdeckkappen in der Gehäuse-Längsrichtung verhindert. Durch die waagerechte Rippe an der Schmal-Seitenwand der mittleren Abdeckkappe, die in die Nut der an der Deckfläche der seitlichen Abdeckkappen angesetzten mittleren Haltelasche eingreift, wird auch ein fester Halt in senkrechter Richtung erreicht. Zum Abnehmen der seitlichen Abdeckkappen muß lediglich die Haltelasche von der Rippe weggedrückt werden, wobei Einbuchtungen an der Deckfläche der mittleren und seitlichen Abdeckkappen es erleichtern, mit einem spitzen Gegenstand, wie z.B. einem Schraubenzieher, zwischen Rippe und Haltelasche zu fahren.Through the vertical ribs on the inside of the longitudinal side walls the side cover caps, which in corresponding grooves on the side retaining tabs the middle cap will engage Pull off the side cover caps in the longitudinal direction of the housing prevented. Through the horizontal Rib on the narrow side wall of the middle cap, the in the groove of the on the top surface of the side cover caps attached middle Engages holding tab, will also have a firm hold in vertical direction reached. To lose weight side caps only need the retaining tab be pushed away from the rib, making indentations on the top surface of the middle and side caps make it easier to use a sharp object, such as a screwdriver, to drive between the rib and the retaining tab.
Mit einer einfachen Hebelbewegung eines Schraubenziehers können somit die seitlichen Abdeckkappen demontiert werden. Zur nachfolgenden Montage der Abdeckkappen nach dem Herstellen der elektrischen Anschlüsse müssen die Kappen lediglich von Hand aufgesteckt und eingeschnappt werden. Hierzu wird kein Werkzeug benötigt.With a simple lever movement of a screwdriver can the side cover caps be dismantled. For the subsequent assembly of the Cover caps after making the electrical The caps only have to be connected by hand be plugged on and snapped into place. To do this no tools needed.
Eine Erweiterung der Nut am oberen Ende der Haltelaschen erleichtert das Abnehmen der Abdeckkappen. Vorteilhaft sind zusätzliche Haltelaschen an den Längs-Seitenwänden der seitlichen Abdeckkappen, die mit einer Rippe in eine Nut im Rand des Unterteils einschnappen, angebracht. Diese gewähren einen zusätzlichen Halt und verhindern ein seitliches Verschieben der Abdeckkappen.An extension of the groove at the top of the retaining tabs makes it easier to remove the cover caps. Additional retaining tabs on the are advantageous Longitudinal side walls of the side caps that with a rib in a groove in the edge of the lower part snap in, attached. These grant one additional hold and prevent sideways Move the cover caps.

In Figur 1 und 2 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Gehäuse
aus Kunststoff in Drauf- bzw. Seitenansicht dargestellt.
Das Gehäuse setzt sich aus einem Unterteil
und einem Oberteil zusammen, wobei das Unterteil
aus einer Bodenplatte 1 und einem umlaufenden Rand
2 besteht. Das Oberteil ist in drei getrennte
Abdeckkappen aufgeteilt, eine mittlere Abdeckkappe
3 mit einer Deckfläche 4 und vier Seitenwänden 5, 6
sowie zwei seitliche Abdeckkappen 7, 8 mit jeweils
einer Deckfläche 9 bzw. 10 und jeweils drei Seitenwänden

Innenraum unter der mittleren Abdeckkappe 3 zur
Aufnahme des eigentlichen Vorschaltgeräts dient,
sind die Räume unter den seitlichen Abdeckkappen 7,
8 für die Aufnahme der elektrischen Anschlüsse
vorgesehen. Die mittlere Abdeckkappe 3 wird nach
Einbau der Vorschaltgeräteteile nicht abnehmbar mit
dem Rand 2 verbunden. Die beiden seitlichen Abdeckkappen
7, 8 können, wie weiter unten aufgezeigt,

der benachbarten Deckflächen 9 und 4 bzw. 10 und 4
gebildet sind, abgehoben werden.1 and 2 is a housing according to the invention
made of plastic in top or side view.
The housing consists of a lower part
