Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lamp holder for two-pin fluorescent lamps or for equipment with two contact pins mounting box with a pot-like attachment housing.
  • Fastening devices are assigned to the attachment housing in the vicinity of its opening edge, which are used to anchor the mounting box which can be inserted with the base pointing outwards into a recess in a wall of a lamp box or the like, from the inside of which.
  • the bottom of the attachment housing carries the lamp holder which is arranged in the interior of the attachment housing and has an insertion slot for the contact pins which is open towards the opening of the attachment housing.
  • the lamp holder also contains contact elements which interact with the contact pins and which protrude into the guide slot and with contact means for Contact at least one electrical conductor to be connected are provided.
  • Such a mounting box is described, for example, in DE-U1-29 50 54 51. It is typically used for recessed ceiling luminaires equipped with fluorescent lamps, the length of which is greater than the length of the luminaire box. It allows the lamp holder and the lamp base to be moved on one side out of the interior of the light box.
  • a commercially available lamp holder is usually provided, which is often provided with a rotating body rotatably mounted in its guide slot and is clipped onto the inside of the attachment housing on the base thereof, for example by means of latching hooks or the like.
  • the insulated leads which are often bent in the vicinity of the connection terminals, have to be led out through the interior of the attachment housing, which is annoying and also entails the risk that the line insulation under the influence of the heat emitted by the fluorescent lamp in the vicinity of its base Is affected.
  • Such an assembly box is also unsuitable for automatic wiring of the lamp.
  • attachment housing is provided with means for its temporary anchoring at the cutout of the wall of the lamp body in a preassembly position, in which it is predominantly still inside the lamp box.
  • conductors at the contact points of the lamp holder can be contacted from the outside, through conductor insertion openings provided on the side of the attachment box, whereupon the attachment housing is pressed into its final operating position.
  • the Insulated connection lines lie on the outside of the connection housing, where they are received in corresponding recesses.
  • connection lines are again inside the connection housing.
  • Both versions are relatively complex; they also require additional assembly measures to transfer the lamp holder from the pre-assembly position to the final operating position.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an assembly box which is characterized by simple assembly and contacting and which is suitable for automatic wiring systems with simple, inexpensive production possibilities.
  • the assembly box according to the invention is characterized in that the contact elements of the lamp holder are kept in a contact-safe manner by parts of the attachment housing and / or parts connected therewith and are led out to the opening edge of the attachment housing and that connection devices for electrical lines are arranged in the region of the opening edge in which the contact means of the contact elements are included.
  • connection elements which are generally formed by contact springs, are electrically insulated directly from parts of the attachment housing and are stored so that they are safe to touch, the risk of being impaired by the heat that occurs inside the add-on housing is excluded.
  • Any insulated electrical connection lines routed through the interior of the attachment housing are eliminated.
  • the contacting of the connection lines takes place outside the attachment housing in the connection devices arranged on the front of the assembly box, which are easily accessible in the assembled state.
  • connection devices can easily be designed so that they are suitable for the automatic wiring of the lamp.
  • An example of such an automatic wiring system, to which the new assembly box is matched, is described in EP-A1-0 57 37 91.
  • the lamp holder can have any desired structure and can be fastened to the base of the attachment housing, for example by clipping.
  • Particularly simple conditions result, however, if the lamp socket has a one-piece socket body which is connected to the bottom of the attachment housing and in which the guide slot is formed, the contact elements, with their parts located in the region of the socket body, being received in a contact-safe manner in slot-like depressions in the socket body are.
  • a further simplification can be achieved in such a way that the lampholder body is integrally formed on or molded from the bottom of the attachment housing or, in other words, that the bottom region of the attachment housing is designed directly in the form of a lamp holder.
  • slot-like or channel-like depressions are formed in the add-on housing from the vicinity of the bottom to the edge of the opening, in which the contact elements with their corresponding parts are kept safe from contact. This eliminates the need for additional covers or insulation measures to ensure safe contact.
  • connection devices for the lines can be designed in accordance with the respective need.
  • the connection devices contain insulation displacement contacts with insulation displacement slots.
  • the insulation displacement slots In order to facilitate wiring through the socket without complicated cable routing, it is expedient for the insulation displacement slots to be aligned with their axes essentially parallel to a plane containing the opening edge of the attachment housing.
  • a line receiving channel crossing the insulation displacement slot can be formed in the connection devices for each contact element and is open to one side over its length.
  • This line receiving channel also acts as a guide for the line laying tool, for which reference is made to the aforementioned EP-A1-0 57 37 91.
  • the dimensions of the line receiving channel are advantageously selected such that a line end cut off next to the insulation displacement slot is kept in a contact-safe manner in the line receiving channel without additional insulation measures.
  • connection devices can have molded-on housing parts which contain slot-like depressions in which parts of the contact elements led out of the add-on housing are kept safe from contact.
  • the contact elements are generally in one piece, but embodiments are also conceivable in which they are constructed in several parts.
  • the attachment housing can have openings and / or pot-like depressions in the region of its base, which promote air circulation through the attachment housing and increase the area available for heat exchange with the surroundings.
  • the assembly box shown in the drawing is made entirely of an electrically insulating plastic, preferably by injection molding. It has a pot-shaped attachment housing 1 with an essentially circular opening 2, a base part 3 and side walls 4. In the area of the opening 2, a flat flange 5 is formed on the add-on box 1, which carries claws 6 which also form molded fastening devices on its rear side.
  • the mounting box is intended to be inserted with its mounting housing 1, which tapers slightly conically on the upper side toward the bottom part 3, into a recess 7 in a wall 8 of a lamp box, which is only indicated in the detail in FIG. 5, and is pushed into the illustrated position from the inside thereof. in which its flange 5 bears against the inside of wall 8 and the assembly box is locked by the two claws 6 received in corresponding holes in wall 8 (FIG. 5).
  • a lamp holder 9 for a two-pin fluorescent lamp is arranged in the base area 3 in the attachment housing 1.
  • the lamp holder 9 is connected in one piece to the attachment housing 1 by the parts being formed directly from the base region 3.
  • the lamp holder 9 has a circular-cylindrical pin 10 which is coaxial with the opening 2 of the housing 1 and which, as can be seen from FIGS. 7, 8, is designed as a pot-shaped hollow body with a cavity 11 which is open towards the rear and which together with one to at a distance, coaxial annular part 12 defines an annular guide slot 13 for the contact pins of the fluorescent lamp to be used.
  • the annular part 12 is molded onto a lateral conversion part 14 formed from the base part, which in turn is integrally connected to the side wall 4 of the attachment housing 1 via an end conversion part 15.
  • the aforementioned parts 10 to 14 form a unitary Socket body, which, as mentioned, is formed directly from the bottom region 3 of the attachment housing 1.
  • two groove-like depressions 16 are formed in the end wall part 15 on both sides of the pin 10, each of which receives the legs 17, 18 of a contact spring 19 adjoining one another at right angles.
  • the dimensions (width, depth and length) of the slot-like depressions 16 are selected such that the legs 17, 18 of the respective contact spring 19 accommodated therein are kept safe from contact.
  • Each of the contact springs 19 crosses with its leg 17, in the manner of a secant, through the guide slot 13, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the part of the leg 17 lying within the guide slot 13 forms a contact area in which a transverse, groove-shaped depression 20 is provided, which is used for the spring-elastic latching of the associated contact pin of the fluorescent lamp used.
  • two longitudinal channels 21 are formed in the region of the opposite side walls 4, which can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1, 6 and 7 and which open out on the rear of the add-on housing 1.
  • the channels 21 are too open in the area lying in front of the end wall part 15. In them run on the legs 18 of the two contact springs 19 molded strip-like connecting legs 22 with which the contact springs 19 forming the contact elements are led out isolated through the opening 2 of the mounting housing 1.
  • the internal dimensions of the channels 21 are selected in the area of the interior of the attachment housing 1 in such a way that the connecting legs 22 of the contact springs 19 are stored in them so that they are safe to touch.
  • connection legs 22 of the contact springs 19 are provided with contact means located outside the attachment housing 1 for contacting electrical conductors to be connected.
  • 5 connecting devices for electrical lines are provided on the front of the flange facing the viewer in FIGS.
  • These connection devices have block-shaped housing parts 24 (FIGS. 3, 8) formed on the flange 5, which in turn have axially offset connection parts 25 on their front side relative to the plane containing the edges of the opening 2 of the attachment housing 1.
  • a line receiving channel 26 is formed which is aligned on both sides with its plane of symmetry parallel to the plane containing the opening edge and which is open towards the top in the manner of a groove-like recess and has an essentially U-shaped cross section ( see Figure 8).
  • Each of the line-receiving channels 26 is crossed by a section 27 of the connecting leg 22 of a contact spring 9 bent at its end in an L-shape (FIG. 3).
  • an insulation displacement slot 28 (FIG. 9) is formed, which lies symmetrically in the associated line receiving channel 26 and forms an insulation displacement contact.
  • the associated line receiving channel 26 is narrowed laterally at 29 (FIGS. 3, 5).
  • the spacing of the ribs forming in these figures is selected such that an insulated electrical line inserted into the further line receiving channel 26 is clamped with its insulation to the constriction is.
  • the dimensions (width, length and depth) of the sections of each line receiving channel 26 lying on both sides of the insulation displacement slot are dimensioned such that a conductor end cut off next to the insulation displacement slot in the wire reception channel 26 is kept safe from contact in the wire reception channel.
  • the parts of the connecting legs 22 of the contact springs 19 emerging from the add-on housing 1 are also stored in corresponding slot-like depressions 30 of the housing parts 24 in a manner such that they cannot be touched without additional covers or the like being required.
  • the slot-like depressions 30 are each expanded in a tubular manner at 31, in order thereby to allow access for test contacts. Otherwise, the slot-like depressions 30 adjoin the channel parts 21 which are located inside the mounting housing and are open at the top, as is shown in particular in FIG.
  • the assembly box When in use, the assembly box is mounted as a unit in the manner shown in FIG. 5 in the wall 8 of the luminaire box, whereupon the connecting lines are contacted at the contact points formed by the insulation displacement slots 28 using the so-called insulation displacement technology. Automatic wiring of the lamp is also possible, as described in detail in EP-0 573 971, for example.
  • the line receiving channels 26 also serve to guide the line laying tool.
  • conductor insertion openings 32 are provided on the front side of the housing parts facing the viewer in FIG. 2, which lead to plug contacts 33 (FIG. 3), which by U-shaped cut tabs are formed in the angled part of the connecting leg 22 of the respective contact spring 19.
  • the attachment housing 1 has through openings 34, 35 in its bottom region which facilitate or enable the air circulation through the attachment housing 1.
  • the modified embodiment of a new assembly box shown in FIG. 11 differs from the embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10 only in that the lampholder body consisting of the parts 10 to 15 explained forms a separate, disk-shaped lamp holder unit 37 made of plastic. which is placed on the flat bottom 38 of the add-on housing 1 and is connected to it via latching hooks 39.
