Definitions

  • the invention relates to a luminaire for fluorescent tubes with a housing made of plastic that can be split in the longitudinal direction, a plastic plug body formed from the housing, a luminous field, which may have a luminous field cover, and the electrical devices required for operating the fluorescent tube.
  • Fluorescent lamps or luminaires for fluorescent tubes are being used more and more frequently than conventional incandescent lamps because they have a longer service life and are more economical in energy consumption. In addition, it is possible in a simple manner to obtain light of the desired color, in particular also light similar to daylight, with the aid of fluorescent lamps. Because of the advantages of fluorescent lamps, it is now common to equip workrooms and warehouses with them. Such fluorescent lamps are usually designed as elongated, permanently mounted ceiling lights.
  • EP-A-0 233 529 discloses a fluorescent lamp in which the connection element is designed as a mains plug body with plug contacts projecting electrically conductively connected to the fluorescent lamp tube, the housing is elongated and is composed in two parts of two half-shells that can be separated from one another in the longitudinal direction around the plug contacts adjoining area of the power plug body to the housing is formed from the half-shells and the power plug body is arranged on a long side of the housing and protrudes vertically from this long side.
  • the luminaires made of plastic described there have proven extremely successful. When handling it is often perceived as unsatisfactory that these lights do not have an on / off switch. Furthermore, the fluorescent tube is not interchangeable after the end of its service life, so that the lamp is no longer usable if the fluorescent tube is defective. This disadvantage is due to the half-shell construction, since the electrical devices required for operating the lamp are integrated into the interior of the lamp together with the fluorescent tube, and the housing consisting of the two half-shells is closed and welded around the electrical devices. Even if the translucent light field cover is removed, the fluorescent tube cannot be replaced because it is firmly integrated in the housing.
  • the invention has for its object to develop the known lamp so that it can be switched on and off with a switching element, the switching element should be integrated into the housing so that the manufacturing process of the two half-shells and the assembly of the lamp none Experience impairment. Furthermore, the known lamp should be developed so that the electrical devices and the design of the housing allow the fluorescent tube to be replaced without opening the housing if it should become defective. Finally, the housing consisting of two half-shells is to be designed in such a way that the manufacturing process is further simplified and in particular the assembly of the lamp and the joining and connecting of the two half-shells is facilitated.
  • a luminaire of the type mentioned at the outset has a switching element which is guided through both half-shells of the housing and which can be fixed in the respectively desired switching position via a latching element provided on the housing.
  • the locking element provided on the housing ensures that the part which is complementary for the switching element is inserted into the housing is integrated and can be molded together with the half-shells of the luminaire housing. This leads to a simplification of the manufacture of the switch, since it only consists of an additional switching element which interacts with the locking element formed on the housing.
  • the switching element is passed through both half shells.
  • the complementary locking element is only required on one of the two half-shells, but can be provided on both half-shells for manufacturing reasons.
  • the latching element interacts with complementary elements of the switching element and thereby defines the switching positions. If locking elements are provided on both half-shells, expediently only one of the two locking elements is used to define the switching positions. The other can serve to guide the switching element.
  • the locking element is expediently designed as a slotted spring cage projecting into the housing.
  • the slotted design creates the elasticity and, via the resistance, the locking effect that is desired for changing the switching position.
  • the switching element is preferably designed as a pushbutton which is provided with two latching levels.
  • the push button can be an essentially cylindrical pin on which the locking planes are provided in the form of circumferential grooves or grooves.
  • the latching planes interact with engagement elements provided on the spring cage and projecting into the spring cage.
  • a circumferential flange can be provided adjacent to the inner of the two locking levels, which in one end position of the push button abuts the spring cage when the engagement elements of the spring cage engage in the inner of the two locking levels , and in the other end position against a locking element provided inside the housing, which can also be present in the form of an installation part present there, for example the contact pins of the fluorescent tube.
  • the sliding element In order to ensure a quick break of contact, it is expedient for the sliding element to overcome resistance when it comes from one into the other latching position.
  • the part of the pushbutton located between the latching planes can be designed as a bead, the flanks of which fall towards the latching planes.
  • the bead causes the engaging elements of the spring cage to experience an outward force when the switching position is changed, which causes the spring cage to spread around the bead, which is lifted when sliding down into the other locking level and thus results in renewed stable storage in this locking level leads.
  • the part of the pushbutton located between the latching planes can be designed as a double cone that extends from its periphery, i.e.
  • the double cone can be designed asymmetrically in that the periphery is shifted in the direction of one or the other of the two locking levels, in particular in order to ensure a quick break of contact.
  • the switching element which is designed in particular as a push button, expediently has a driver for the contact lug, with which the electrical contact for operating the fluorescent tube is produced.
  • This driver can for example have the shape of a contact pliers, some other type of recess or a groove.
  • a circumferential groove has the advantage that when the push button is installed, its alignment with respect to the contact tab can be omitted.
  • contact pliers allow precise guidance of the contact tab.
  • the contact tab on which the switching element or the push button acts, can be a printed circuit board in a conventional manner Connect with the contact pins on the fluorescent tube or with one of the mains plug contacts.
  • the switching element or the pushbutton of the lamp according to the invention is expediently located in depressions which are arranged in the half-shells of the housing.
  • Such depressions which can be designed as a trough, on the one hand emphasize the arrangement of the switching element and, on the other hand, prevent the switching element from being triggered unintentionally.
  • the depressions or depressions are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the light field cover, they can also be used to pry the light field cover to change the fluorescent tube using a suitable tool, for example a screwdriver.
  • the housing of the lamp according to the invention expediently consists of two half-shells which are made in one piece and are connected to one another in a collapsible manner. Apart from advantages in the manufacture of the half-shells themselves, this results in a configuration of the half-shells with respect to one another during manufacture, which simplifies and facilitates the folding and connecting to the housing. It is also achieved that the housing can be connected to one another by simple pressing or ultrasonic welding. Naturally, other connections are also possible and expedient, for example by means of latching elements which can additionally be connected by pressing or welding, or by screwing.
  • the housing is preferably divided in the longitudinal direction and has the power plug body at least partially formed on one of its longitudinal sides from the half-shells.
  • the power plug body In order to facilitate the insertion of the power plug contacts into the power plug body, it is expedient to continue dividing the half-shells into the power plug body.
  • Plastic film hinges have been shown to be a particularly suitable connection of the two half-shells, which can be produced directly during the production of the half-shells.
  • these film hinges can on the one hand connect the two housing half-shells on the side facing away from the power plug body, but on the other hand also in the area of the power plug body itself.
  • a plastic-film hinge connection between the two half-shells above the bottom of the power plug body has proven to be particularly suitable.
  • the housing consists of the two housing half-shells, which include the power plug body flanks and are each connected to the bottom of the power plug body via a film hinge. This also allows an essentially mirror-symmetrical design of the half-shells.
  • the housing adjacent to the luminous field in the region of the dividing line of the half-shells on one side with a slot-shaped recess and on the other side with an insertion opening for the To provide contact pins of the fluorescent tube.
  • the slot-shaped recess runs in the area of the light field from the outer periphery of the lamp inwards, so that the fluorescent tube can be inserted with its contact pins into the insertion opening on one side and pushed into the slot-shaped recess from the outside on the other side.
  • the contact lugs To improve the contact between the contact lugs and the contact pins of the fluorescent tube, it is expedient to provide the contact lugs with a V-shaped profile so that they can snap into the area between the contact pins with the closed end of the V.
  • Such a design of the contact lugs in conjunction with the special design of the housing, which enables the replacement of the fluorescent tube, has the further advantage that the fluorescent tube is also fixed in its working position by the contact lugs, which promotes occupational safety.
  • Such lights designed according to the invention expediently have a translucent and non-positively attachable light field cover made of a suitable plastic material.
  • a translucent and non-positively attachable light field cover made of a suitable plastic material.
  • the luminaire itself consists of a luminaire housing 2 with a molded-on power plug body 3 and plug contacts 4.
  • the luminous field with the fluorescent tube (not shown) is closed by a transparent luminous field cover 5 that is attached.
