Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Deckeneinbauleuchte nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a recessed ceiling light according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei den bekannten Deckeneinbauleuchten der oben genannten Art ist das Oberteil des Tragrahmens deckenseitig verschlossen. Am Tragrahmen werden zum einen in das Leuchteninnere hineinragende Reflektorhalterungen, Lampenfassungen und Anschlüsse befestigt. Außerdem werden andere Installationselemente, wie z.B. Vorschaltgeräte, Anschlußklemmen oder dergleichen meist an der Außenseite des Oberteils oder an der Außenseite eines der Arme befestigt. Da der Tragrahmen ein einstückiges Aluminiumgußteil ist, bereitet die Anbringung der genannten Leuchtenteile am Tragrahmen Schwierigkeiten. Hierfür mußten bislang Körnungen im Gußteil vorgenommen werden, so daß danach in mehreren Arbeitsgängen die für die Befestigung der einzelnen Leuchtenteile erforderlichen Bohrungen angebracht werden konnten, wobei je nach Leuchtentyp eine unterschiedliche Anzahl Bohrungen an unterschiedlichen Stellen notwendig war. Es war bislang auch nicht sinnvoll, das Herstellungs- und Montageverfahren dadurch zu rationalisieren, daß man für verschiedene Leuchtentypen von vorne herein unterschiedliche Tragrahmen bereit stellte, da die Tragrahmen gegossen werden und dies mit erheblichen Werkzeugkosten verbunden wäre. Die Schwierigkeit lag also in der relativ aufwendigen mechanischen Bearbeitung des gegossenen Tragrahmens.In the known recessed ceiling lights of the type mentioned above the upper part of the support frame is closed on the ceiling. On the one hand, the inside of the luminaire is attached to the support frame protruding reflector mounts, lamp holders and Connections attached. Also others Installation elements such as Ballasts, Terminals or the like mostly on the outside of the Attached to the top or on the outside of one of the arms. There the support frame is a one-piece cast aluminum part, prepares the attachment of the aforementioned lighting parts on Support frame difficulties. So far, grits have been required for this be made in the casting, so that afterwards in several Work steps for the attachment of each Luminaire parts required holes must be made could, depending on the type of luminaire a different Number of holes in different places was necessary. So far, it was also not sensible to manufacture and To rationalize assembly processes in that one for different luminaire types different from the start Support frame provided since the support frame are cast and this would involve considerable tool costs. The The difficulty lay in the relatively complex mechanical processing of the cast supporting frame.

Aus der DE 40 16 531 A1 ist ein Lichtstrahler bekannt, der ein Grundgestell aufweist, an dem ein Lampenträger längs Streben verschiebbar angebracht ist. Der Reflektor besteht aus einem gestellfesten Reflektorteil und einem darin verschiebbaren Kopfspiegel, der den rückwärtigen Abschluß des Reflektors bildet. Der Kopfspiegel ist an dem Lampenträger angebracht und kann zusammen mit diesem verschoben werden. Die Lampenfassung ist an dem Lampenträger lösbar festgeklemmt und trägt an ihrer Rückseite eine Leiterplatine mit den für den Lampenbetrieb erforderlichen Bauteilen.
Der Lichtstrahler weist ein Grundgestell auf, das durch die Wandöffnung einer Wand hindurch an der Wand befestigt wird. From DE 40 16 531 A1 a light emitter is known which has a base frame on which a lamp holder is slidably mounted along struts. The reflector consists of a reflector part fixed to the frame and a head mirror which can be moved therein and forms the rear end of the reflector. The head mirror is attached to the lamp holder and can be moved together with it. The lamp holder is releasably clamped to the lamp holder and carries a printed circuit board on the back with the components required for lamp operation.
The light emitter has a base frame which is attached to the wall through the wall opening of a wall.

Das Grundgestell besteht aus einem ringförmigen Rahmen, der mit Spiel in die Wandöffnung einsetzbar ist und sich mit einem Stützflansch an der Frontseite der Wandöffnung abstützt. Von der Rückseite des Rahmens stehen starr mit diesem verbundene Rundstäbe nach hinten ab, welche den Lampenträger mit Lampenfassung sowie die benötigten elektrischen Komponenten wie zum Beispiel Vorschaltgerät tragen. Durch Verändern des Abstandes des Lampenträgers gegenüber dem Grundgestell ist eine Veränderung der Abstrahlcharakterisik des Lichtstrahlers möglich. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführungsform ist der hohe fertigungstechnische Aufwand. Eine Veränderung des Leuchtmittels würde hier den im zuvor beschriebenen Stand der Technik bereits genannten Aufwand zur Veränderung des Lampenträgers nach sich ziehen.The base frame consists of an annular frame that can be used with play in the wall opening and with a support flange on the front of the wall opening supports. From the back of the frame stand rigidly with this connected round rods to the rear, which the Lamp holder with lamp holder and the required electrical components such as ballasts carry. By changing the distance between the lamp holder compared to the base frame is a change in Beam characteristics of the light emitter possible. Disadvantageous in this embodiment is the high manufacturing technology Expenditure. A change in the illuminant would be the State of the art previously described The effort to change the lamp holder entail.
