Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lichtstromschienensystem mit einer mit Leitungen zur Stromführung versehenen Stromschiene, die mit Haltern vorzugsweise an einer Decke oder aber auch an einer Wand befestigbar ist und an der Leuchtenhalter anbringbar sind, die in elektrischem Kontakt mit den Leitungen stehen.The invention relates to a luminous conductor rail system with a conductor rail provided with conductors, which can preferably be fastened to a ceiling or else on a wall with holders and can be attached to the luminaire holder and are in electrical contact with the conductors.
Bei den bisher bekannten Lichtstromschienensystemen dieser Art bestehen die Stromschienen aus starren Profilen, die deshalb nicht nach den Wünschen des Benutzers verformbar sind. Kurvenförmigen, jederzeit veränderbare Lichtführungen sind dabei nicht möglich.In the previously known luminous conductor rail systems of this type, the conductor rails consist of rigid profiles, which are therefore not deformable according to the wishes of the user. Curved light guides that can be changed at any time are not possible.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lichtstromschienensystem anzugeben, deren Stromschiene eine flexiblere Anordnung der Leuchtenhalter im Raum, bevorzugt an bzw. unter der Decke eines Raumes ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig sichergestellt sein soll, daß der Benutzer nicht in Berührung mit stromführenden Leitungen der Stromschiene geraten kann.The present invention has for its object to provide a luminous conductor rail system, the busbar allows a more flexible arrangement of the lamp holder in the room, preferably on or under the ceiling of a room, while ensuring that the user is not in contact with current-carrying lines of the busbar can guess.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindugn sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the features of
Gemäß der Erfindung ist die Stromschiene in beiden seitlichen Richtungen biegbar, so daß sie bevorzugt unter einer Decke in einen von dem Benutzer gewünschten Kurvenverlauf gebogen und in dieser ausgewählten Form befestigt werden kann. Die Stromschiene hat in der Einbaulage unter einer Decke eine verhältnismäßig langgestreckte, schmale Querschnittsform, so daß sie in aufrechter Lage ein großes Widerstandsmoment gegen Durchbiegung hat, d.h. sie ist bei dieser Einbaulage in vertikaler Richtung weitgehend biegesteif. In beiden seitlichen Richtungen, d.h. in Richtung ihrer Breite, ist sie hingegen mit geringem Kraftaufwand frei biegbar, so daß die Leuchtenhalter an praktisch frei auswählbaren Stellen an bzw. unter einer Decke angeordnet werden können.According to the invention, the conductor rail can be bent in both lateral directions, so that it is preferably bent under a ceiling into a curve shape desired by the user and in this selected shape can be attached. The conductor rail has a relatively elongated, narrow cross-sectional shape in the installed position under a ceiling, so that it has a large resistance to deflection in the upright position, ie it is largely rigid in the vertical direction in this installed position. In both lateral directions, ie in the direction of its width, however, it can be freely bent with little effort, so that the lamp holders can be arranged at practically freely selectable locations on or under a ceiling.
Dabei ist die Erfindung natürlich nicht darauf beschränkt, daß die Stromschiene an bzw. unter einer Decke anbringbar ist, sie kann ebenso gut an einer Wand befestigt werden. Die Stromschiene muß natürlich nicht unbedingt in vertikaler Querschnittsausrichtung befestigt werden, sondern sie kann auch so angeordnet sein, daß ihr langgestreckter Querschnitt horizontal angeordnet ist, d.h. sie hat in dieser Lage nur eine geringe Höhe, demgegenüber aber eine verhältnismäßig große Breite, so daß die Stromschiene in dieser Lage nach oben unten unten frei biegbar ist und beispielsweise einen aufwärts und abwärts führenden Wellenverlauf nehmen kann.The invention is of course not limited to the fact that the busbar can be attached to or under a ceiling, it can just as well be attached to a wall. Of course, the conductor rail does not necessarily have to be fastened in a vertical cross-sectional orientation, but it can also be arranged in such a way that its elongated cross-section is arranged horizontally, i.e. in this position it has only a small height, but in comparison a relatively large width, so that the conductor rail in this position can be freely bent upwards and downwards and can, for example, take an upward and downward wave course.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung dieser Erfindung kann die Stromschiene ein elastisches Material wie Silikon, Kautschuk oder Gummi aufweisen, aus dem die Stromschiene ganz oder auch nur teilweise besteht. Dieses dauerelastische Material ist elektrisch nicht leitend, so daß es die darin eingelassenen elektrischen Leiter isoliert. Die Stromschiene ist querschnittlich vollständig geschlossen, d.h. die darin eingebetteten elektrischen Leiter sind von einem isolierenden Materialmantel überdeckt.In a further embodiment of this invention, the busbar can have an elastic material such as silicone, rubber or rubber, from which the busbar consists entirely or only partially. This permanently elastic material is not electrically conductive, so that it insulates the electrical conductors embedded in it. The conductor rail is completely closed in cross section, ie the electrical conductors embedded in it are covered by an insulating material jacket.
Wenn die Stromschiene aus einem dauerelastischen Material besteht, kann vorgesehen sein, daß in dieses dauerelastische Material eine in Längsrichtung der Stromschiene durchgehende Einlage aus einem nicht-elastischen, jedoch biegbaren Material wie Blei oder einer Bleilegierung eingebettet ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die Stromschiene nach dem Biegevorgang weitgehend oder vollständig die einmal eingenommene Form beibehält. Diese Einlage aus biegbarem Material kann beispielsweise ein querschnittlich rechteckiger, runder oder ovaler Streifen sein, der bevorzugt etwa im Zentrum der Stromschiene eingebettet ist.If the busbar consists of a permanently elastic material, it can be provided that a continuous insert in the longitudinal direction of the busbar made of a non-elastic but bendable material such as lead or a lead alloy is embedded in this permanently elastic material. This ensures that the conductor rail largely or completely retains the shape once it has been bent. This insert made of bendable material can be, for example, a cross-sectionally rectangular, round or oval strip, which is preferably embedded approximately in the center of the busbar.
Die Stromschiene selbst hat -wie bereits oben erwähnt- bevorzugt einen solchen Querschnitt, daß ihre Längenabmessungen in einer Richtung beträchtlich größer sind als in der hierzu senkrechten Richtung. Dabei kann das Profil nicht nur rechteckig sein, gegebenenfalls mit abgerundeten Kanten, sondern beispielsweise auch eine ovale Querschnittsform haben. Die Erfindung ist hierauf aber nicht beschränkt, sondern es kommen auch kreisrunde und quadratische Querschnittsformen in Betracht.As already mentioned above, the busbar itself preferably has a cross section such that its length dimensions in one direction are considerably larger than in the direction perpendicular thereto. The profile can not only be rectangular, possibly with rounded edges, but also, for example, have an oval cross-sectional shape. However, the invention is not restricted to this, but circular and square cross-sectional shapes are also possible.
Bei der bevorzugten länglichen Querschnittsform sind die elektrischen Leitungen, bevorzugt Phase, Schutzleiter und Nulleiter, vorzugsweise auf der Längsachse angeordnet. Dabei tragen die eingebetteten elektrischen Leitungen zusätzlich zur Biegesteifigkeit in vertikaler Richtung (nicht in seitlichen Richtungen) bei.In the preferred elongated cross-sectional shape, the electrical lines, preferably phase, protective conductor and neutral conductor, are preferably arranged on the longitudinal axis. The embedded electrical cables also contribute to the bending stiffness in the vertical direction (not in the lateral directions).
Nach einem weiteren wesentlichen Gesichtspunkt der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die an der Stromschiene anzubringenden Leuchtenhalter elektrisch leitende Kontaktspitzen aufweisen, die mit der Fassung für die Leuchtmittel in Verbindung stehen und sich beim Anbringen der Leuchtenhalter an der Stromschiene durch den Materialmantel bohren und den elektrischen Kontakt mit den Leitungen herstellen, indem sie mit ihren Spitzen in diese eindringen. Dies wird dadurch erleichtert, daß in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung als elektrische Leiter verdrillte Litzen, beispielsweise Kupferlitzen verwendet werden.According to a further essential aspect of the invention, it is proposed that the lamp holders to be attached to the conductor rail have electrically conductive contact tips which are connected to the holder for the lamps and which, when the lamp holders are attached to the conductor rail, drill through the material jacket and make electrical contact with them manufacture the pipes by penetrating them with their tips. This is facilitated in that advantageous Embodiment of the invention can be used as an electrical conductor twisted strands, for example copper strands.
Dabei ist die Ausbildung der Leuchtenhalter so getroffen, daß sie die Stromschiene querschnittlicher formschlüssig umgreifen, so daß sie in einer exakt vorgegebenen Querschnittslage an der Stromschiene befestigt werden. Die Kontaktspitzen sind an solchen Positionen der Innenseite von zwei Schwenkarmen oder von zwei zusammensetzbaren Backen der Leuchtenhalter angebracht, die mit der Lage der eingebetteten elektrischen Leiter übereinstimmen, so daß die Kontaktspitzen zuverlässig und selbsttätig beim Anbringen der Leuchtenhalter an der Stromschiene auf die elektrischen Leiter in der Stromschiene auftreffen.The luminaire holder is designed so that it engages around the conductor rail with a positive cross-section so that it is attached to the conductor rail in a precisely specified cross-sectional position. The contact tips are attached to such positions on the inside of two swivel arms or of two assembled jaws of the lamp holder, which correspond to the position of the embedded electrical conductor, so that the contact tips reliably and automatically when the lamp holder is attached to the conductor rail on the electrical conductor in the Hit the busbar.
Auf diese Weise sind die Leuchtenhalter schnell und einfach auch von Nichtfachleuten an beliebiger Stelle an der Stromschiene zu befestigen und auch wieder an andere Stelle zu versetzen, wobei sie nach dem Entfernen keine die Sicherheit gefährdenden Öffnungen in der Stromschiene hinterlassen, da sich die kleinen Einstechlöcher durch die Rückstellkraft des Materials nahezu vollständig wieder schließen.In this way, the luminaire holder can also be quickly and easily attached to the conductor rail at any point by non-specialists and also moved to another location, whereby after removal, it does not leave any openings in the conductor rail that endanger safety, since the small insertion holes can be seen through close the restoring force of the material almost completely.
Die stromführende Lichtschiene und alle Komponenten sind bevorzugt für übliche Netzspannungen ausgelegt. Es können mehrere elektrische Phasen in die Stromschiene eingelassen werden, so daß die angebrachten Leuchten in verschiedenen Gruppen geschaltet werden können.The current-carrying light rail and all components are preferably designed for common mains voltages. Several electrical phases can be embedded in the busbar so that the attached lights can be switched in different groups.
Die Erfindung sieht demnach eine Stromschiene vor, die in einer Ebene frei biegbar ist, während sie in der hierzu senkrechten Ebene eine ausreichende Biegesteifigkeit besitzt, um ihr Eigengewicht und die an ihr befestigten Leuchtenhalter praktisch ohne Durchbiegung tragen zu können. Die Leuchtenhalter sind auch von Nichtfachleuten schnell und einfach an beliebiger Stelle anbringbar und wieder versetzbar, ohne daß die stromführende Schiene dabei in die Sicherheit beeinträchtigender Weise beschädigt wird.The invention accordingly provides a busbar which is freely bendable in one plane, while in the plane perpendicular thereto it has sufficient bending stiffness to be able to carry its own weight and the lamp holders attached to it practically without bending. The lamp holders are also from Non-specialists can be quickly and easily attached and relocated at any point, without the current-carrying rail being damaged in a way that compromises safety.
