Daraus leitet sich die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe ab, eine Lampenfassung zu schaffen, die kompakt und platzsparend ausgebildet ist und automatisch kontaktierbar ist.This leads to the one on which the invention is based Task to create a lamp holder that is compact and is designed to save space and can be contacted automatically is.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Lampenfassung gelöst, die
die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 aufweist.This task is solved with the lamp holder that
has the features of
Das erfindungsgemäße Fassungsgehäuse weist im Gegensatz zu bekannten Fassungsgehäusen an seiner Rückseite ein bspw. als Blattfeder ausgebildetes Biegefederelement auf, das sich an der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses etwa parallel zu dem vorderseitig vorgesehenen Einführschlitz erstreckt. Der Einführschlitz dient der Aufnahme der Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe. Die Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses ist zu beiden Seiten des Biegefederelements weitgehend frei. Hier können bspw. Rastzapfen zur Befestigung des Fassungsgehäuses an einem Trägerelement vorgesehen werden. Wesentlich aber ist, dass hier Platz für die Anordnung von Schneidklemmkontakten geschaffen wird, die bei der Kontaktierung von der Rückseite her bedient werden. Nach Montage des Fassungsgehäuses an dem Träger sind die rückseitig offenen Einführnuten der Schneidklemmkontakte verdeckt, und somit unzugänglich. Die Blattfeder erstreckt sich dabei etwa parallel zu den Einführnuten der Schneidklemmkontakte, und hält somit einen ausreichenden Sicherheitsabstand zu spannungsführenden Teilen ein. Durch die Anordnung der Schneidklemmkontakte an der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses zu beiden Seiten des Biegefederelements wird eine sehr kompakte und platzsparende Lampenfassung erhalten. Die Fassung baut durch die seitliche Anordnung der Schneidklemmkontakte niedrig und ermöglicht somit eine freizügige Leuchtenkonstruktion. Durch die Anordnung des Biegefederelements parallel zu dem Einführschlitz können die Schneidklemmkontakte sehr dicht an die Mitte des Fassungsgehäuses heranrücken, wodurch die Fassung außerdem schmal baut.The socket housing according to the invention is in contrast to known socket housings on its back a flexural spring element designed, for example, as a leaf spring on the back of the socket housing about parallel to the insertion slot provided on the front extends. The insertion slot is used to hold the contact pins the fluorescent lamp. The back of the socket housing is on both sides of the spiral spring element largely free. Here, for example, locking pins for fastening of the socket housing is provided on a carrier element become. But it is essential that there is space for the arrangement of insulation displacement contacts is created, which operates from the rear when making contact become. After mounting the socket housing on the carrier are the insertion grooves of the insulation displacement contacts that are open on the rear covered, and therefore inaccessible. The Leaf spring extends approximately parallel to the insertion grooves the insulation displacement contacts, and thus holds one sufficient safety distance from live Share one. Due to the arrangement of the insulation displacement contacts on the back of the socket housing on both sides of the spiral spring element becomes a very compact and space-saving Received lamp holder. The version builds through the lateral arrangement of the insulation displacement contacts low and thus enables a revealing luminaire construction. By arranging the spiral spring element in parallel to the insertion slot, the insulation displacement contacts move very close to the middle of the socket housing, which also makes the frame slim.
Die Blattfeder lagert die Lampenfassung gegen Drehung um unterschiedliche Querachsen unterschiedlich steif. Durch die Anordnung der Blattfeder parallel zu dem Einführschlitz wird bspw. eine seitliche Biegebelastung von Kontaktstiften der Lampenfassung vermieden. Das Biegefederelement stützt sich auf einer Linie an dem Träger ab, die parallel zu einer Geraden ist, die durch beide Kontaktstife des Leuchtstofflampensockels geht. Damit kann die Fassung für Verdrehungen um die Einführschlitzachse relativ nachgiebig ausgelegt werden, auch wenn das Biegefederelement recht steif ist. Die Verhältnisse können durch die Festlegung der Breite der Aufstandsflächen der Blattfeder oder durch in diesem Bereich vorgesehene Noppen wie gewünscht eingestellt werden.The leaf spring supports the lamp holder against rotation different about different transverse axes stiff. By arranging the leaf spring parallel to the The insertion slot becomes, for example, a lateral bending load avoided by contact pins of the lamp holder. The spiral spring element rests on a line on the beam that is parallel to a straight line that goes through both Contact pin of the fluorescent lamp base goes. In order to can be the socket for twists around the insertion slot axis be interpreted relatively compliant, even if that Bending spring element is quite stiff. The conditions can by defining the width of the contact patch the leaf spring or by means provided in this area Knobs can be adjusted as desired.
Als Haltemittel zur Befestigung der Lampenfassung an einem Träger können zwei Rastzapfen verwendet werden, die bspw. an dem Fassungsgehäuse angespritzt sind. Diese Rastzapfen sind an der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses vorgesehen und auf einer Linie angeordnet, die rechtwinklig zu dem Biegefederelement verläuft. Damit sind die Rastzapfen seitlich neben dem Biegefederelement angeordnet und können relativ eng stehen. Der Abstand zwischen den Rastzapfen oder sonstigen Befestigungsmitteln kann unabhängig von dem Biegefederelement festgelegt werden. Bei dem Stand der Technik hatten die Rastzapfen zusätzlich die Funktion, das Biegefederelement zu halten, und waren deshalb in ihrer Position festgelegt.As a holding device for attaching the lamp holder one carrier, two locking pins can be used For example, are molded onto the socket housing. This Locking pins are on the back of the socket housing provided and arranged on a line that is rectangular runs to the spiral spring element. With that they are Locking pin arranged laterally next to the spiral spring element and can be relatively close. The distance between the locking pin or other fasteners be determined independently of the spiral spring element. In the prior art, the locking pin had additional the function of holding the spiral spring element, and were therefore fixed in their position.
Das Biegefederelement weist wenigstens zwei sich von einem Befestigungs- oder Basisabschnitt weg erstreckende Federschenkel auf, deren freie Enden sich an den Trägerelementen an dem das Fassungsgehäuse zu montieren ist, abstützen. Das Biegefederelement ist vorzugsweise symmetrisch ausgebildet, was die Montage vereinfacht.The spiral spring element has at least two of an attachment or base portion extending away Spring legs on, the free ends of which are on the support elements on which the socket housing is to be mounted, support. The spiral spring element is preferred symmetrical, which simplifies assembly.
Die Federschenkel definieren mit den Stellen, mit denen sie an dem Trägerelement anliegen, wenigstens zwei Stützstellen, die auf einer zu dem Einführschlitz wesentlichen parallelen Linie liegen. Eine die Stützstellen miteinander verbindende Linie definiert zugleich die Längsrichtung des Biegefederelements. Die Federschenkel des Biegefederelements schließen mit dieser Linie einen spitzen Winkel ein.The spring legs define with the places with which they rest on the carrier element, at least two Support points that are essential to the insertion slot parallel line. One of the support points interconnecting line also defines the Longitudinal direction of the spiral spring element. The feather legs of the spiral spring element close with this line acute angle.
Das Biegefederelement kann ein entsprechend gebogener Blechstreifen, ein Federdrahtelement oder eine Kunststofffeder sein. Letztere kann durch federnde Zungen gebildet sein, die gesondert ausgebildet und an dem Fassungsgehäuse angebracht oder einstückig an dem Fassungsgehäuse ausgebildet sind.The spiral spring element can be a correspondingly curved one Sheet metal strips, a spring wire element or a plastic spring his. The latter can be formed by resilient tongues be separately formed and attached to the socket housing attached or in one piece to the socket housing are trained.
Neben den erwähnten Schneidklemmkontakten, die auf platzsparenste Weise seitlich neben dem Biegefederelement angeordnet werden können, so dass die Lampenfassung weder zu hoch, noch zu breit, noch zu dick baut, können Einsteckkontaktmittel an der Unterseite der Lampenfassung vorgesehen werden. Somit können bspw. alternativ die insbesondere zur automatischen Verdrahtung geeigneten Schneidklemmkontakte, als auch die Einsteckkontaktmittel, die manuell kontaktierbar sind, zum Anschluss der Lampenfassung genutzt werden.In addition to the insulation displacement contacts mentioned, which on most space-saving way to the side of the spiral spring element can be arranged so that the lamp holder neither too high, still too wide, still too thick, plug-in contact means can at the bottom of the lamp holder be provided. Thus, for example, as an alternative, in particular suitable for automatic wiring Insulation displacement contacts, as well as the plug-in contact means, which can be contacted manually to connect the lamp holder be used.
Weitere vorteilhafte Einzelheiten von Ausführungsformen
der Erfindung ergeben sich aus Unteransprüchen,
der Zeichnung sowie der dazugehörigen Beschreibung. In
der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung
veranschaulicht. Es zeigen:
In Figur 1 ist eine Lampenfassung 1 veranschaulicht,
die insbesondere zur Lagerung und zum Anschluss einer
nicht weiter veranschaulichten Leuchtstofflampe mit zwei
Stiftsockeln dient. Die Lampenfassung 1 weist ein
Fassungsgehäuse 2 auf, zu dem ein Grundgehäuse 3 gehört,
das lampenseitig mit einem drehbar gelagerten Rotor 4
abgeschlossen ist. Das Grundgehäuse 3 ist in Vorderansicht
im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet (siehe Figur
6) und umgrenzt einen Innenraum, in dem wenigstens zwei
nicht weiter veranschaulichte Kontakte zur elektrischen
Kontaktierung der Kontaktstifte, der anzuschließenden
Leuchtstofflampe angeordnet sind. Zur Einführung dieser
Kontaktstifte in das Fassungsgehäuse 2 ist das Grundgehäuse
3 an seiner Oberseite 6 mit einem Durchbruch 7 versehen.
Von diesem geht ein sich durch den Rotor 4 erstreckender
Einführschlitz 8 aus, der sich von dem Rand
des Rotors 4 bis über seine Mitte hinaus erstreckt. Der
Rotor 4 ist an dem Grundgehäuse 3 drehbar gelagert, wobei
der Einführschlitz 8 in Figur 1 in Einführposition befindlich
ist, in der die Stifte des Lampensockels radial
ein- und ausgeführt werden können. Zum Kontaktieren der
Leuchtstofflampe wird diese um 90° um ihre Längsachse
gedreht, womit der Einführschlitz 8 quer, d.h. in Figur 1
horizontal steht. Der Rotor ist mit Rastmitteln versehen,
die in den jeweiligen Sollstellungen eine Hemmung bilden.
Die Rastmittel können durch Ausbuchtungen an dem Rotor 4
und zugeordnete Vorsprünge an dem Gehäuse 3 gebildet
sein.A
An dem Grundgehäuse 3 sind an beiden Seiten 9, 10
Gehäuseabschnitte 11, 12 ausgebildet, die Schneidklemmkontakte
13, 14 (Figur 4) beherbergen. Diese dienen dem
elektrischen Anschluss nicht weiter veranschaulichter
äußerer Leitungen. Die Schneidklemmkontakte 13, 14 stehen
mit den in dem Grundgehäuse 3 angeordneten Kontakten zum
Anschluss der Sockelstifte der Leuchststofflampe in elektrischer
Verbindung.There are 9, 10 on both sides of the
Die Gehäuseabschnitte 11, 12 sind einstückig mit dem
Grundgehäuse 3 verbunden und weisen einen etwa quaderförmigen
Außenumriss auf. Sie sind unmittelbar im Anschluss
an den Rotor 4 angeordnet, so dass sie die Gesamtbreite
des Fassungsgehäuses 2 nur unwesentlich vergrößern. Wie
aus den Figuren 1 bis 4 hervorgeht, weist jeder Gehäuseabschnitt
11, 12 eine durchgehende Nut 15, 16 zur Aufnahme
einer anzuschliessenden Leitung auf. Etwa mittig ist
in jeder Nut 15, 16 jeweils der Schneidklemmkontakt 13,
14 angeordnet. Die Schneidklemmkontakte 13, 14 erstrecken
sich, wie aus Figur 4 hervorgeht, lediglich etwa bis zur
halben Höhe der Nut, wodurch ein ausreichender Abstand
zwischen den in Betrieb spannungsführenden Schneidklemmkontakten
13, 14 und außerhalb der Lampenfassung 1 befindlichen
Metallteilen vorhanden ist. Um dies zu erreichen,
benötigen die Gehäuseabschnitte 11, 12 eine
Mindesthöhe, gemessen von ihrem vorderseitigen Boden 17
bis zur rückseitigen Berandung 18 der Nut 15, 16. Um dies
zu ermöglichen und die Lampenfassung 1 ansonsten möglichst
platzsparend auszulegen, stehen die Gehäuseabschnitte
11, 12 über den Rotor 4 hinaus in Richtung auf
die Leuchtstofflampe vor.The
An den Gehäuseabschnitten 11, 12 können bedarfsweise
Rasthaken 19, 20 vorgesehen sein, die bspw. der temporären
Befestigung der Lampenfassung 1 zu Transportzwecken
oder bei der Kontaktierung dienen. Die Rasthaken 19, 20
sind dabei einstückig mit dem übrigen Grundgehäuse 3 ausgebildet.On the
Zur Befestigung der Lampenfassung 1 an einem Trägerelement
21, bspw. einem Blech oder einem sonstigen dünnwandigen
Element mit zwei Befestigungsöffnungen 22, 23,
dienen an der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses 2 ausgebildete
Rastnasen 24, 25. Diese auch als Befestigungssplinte
bezeichneten Rastnasen 24, 25 sind durch sich rechtwinklig
von der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses 2 weg erstrekkende
stift- oder stabförmige Fortsätze gebildet, die an
ihrem jeweiligen freien Ende mit einem Rastvorsprung 26,
27 versehen sind. Dieser hintergreift das Trägerelement
21, wenn die Lampenfassung 1 an dem Trägerelement 21 befestigt
ist. Der Abstand zwischen dem jeweiligen Rastvorsprung
26, 27 bis zu der Rückwand des Fassungsgehäuses 2
ist deutlich größer als die Dicke des Trägerelements 21.
Die Lampenfassung 1 hat deshalb Bewegungsspiel auf das
Trägerelement 21 zu und von diesem weg.For fastening the
Um die Lampenfassung 1 federnd von dem Trägerelement
21 weg vorzuspannen, so dass die Rastvorsprünge 26, 27
der Rastnasen 24, 25 fest an der von der Lampenfassung 1
abgewandten Rückseite 28 des Trägerelements 21 anliegen,
ist an der dem Trägerelement 21 zugewandten Rückseite der
Lampenfassung 1 eine als Biegefederelement dienende
Blattfeder 29 vorgesehen. Diese ist durch einen federnden
Blechstreifen mit in Draufsicht- (Figur 3) etwa rechteckigem
Umriss gebildet. Seine Längsrichtung 30 ist durch die
längeren Kanten des rechteckigen Umrisses definiert.To the
Die Blattfeder 29 ist rückseitig an dem Grundgehäuse
3 der Lampenfassung 1 gehalten. Dabei ist sie so ausgerichtet,
dass die Längsrichtung 30 parallel zu der in Figur
6 strichpunktiert angedeuteten Einführrichtung 31 des
Einführschlitzes 8 ausgerichtet ist. Damit erstreckt sich
die Blattfeder 29 zwischen den Rastnasen 24, 25 rechtwinklig
zu einer gedachten Verbindungslinie zwischen den
beiden Rastnasen 24, 25.The
Die Blattfeder 29 weist eine im Wesentlichen eben
ausgebildeten, quadratischen oder rechteckigen Mittelabschnitt
33 auf, von dem sich von zwei gegenüberliegenden
Seiten ausgehend Federschenkel 34, 35 weg erstrecken. Die
Federschenkel 34, 35 schließen miteinander einen stumpfen
Winkel ein und streben im spitzen Winkel von der
Rückseite des Grundgehäuses 3 weg. An ihren freien Enden
sind sie nochmals abgebogen, um mit Anlagebereichen 37,
38 an dem Trägerelement 21 anzuliegen. Die Anlagebereiche
37, 38 definieren Stützstellen beidseits einer gedachten
Verbindungslinie zwischen den Rastnasen 24, 25.The
Die Blattfeder 29 ist an der Rückseite des Fassungsgehäuses
2 durch umgelegte Zapfen 41, 42 gehalten. Die
Zapfen 41, 42 sind bspw. an das Grundgehäuse 3 angeformte
zylindrische Vorsprünge, die die Blattfeder 29 bei entsprechenden
Öffnungen durchragen und an ihrem freien
Ende pilzförmig abgeschmolzen sind. Anstelledessen können
jedoch auch an dem Grundgehäuse 3 ausgebildete federnde
Zungen als Biegefederelemente dienen.The
Wie insbesondere aus Figur 4 hervorgeht, sind die
Nuten 15, 16 jeweils seitlich an dem Fassungsgehäuse 2
gut zugänglich angeordnet. Die Rastnasen 24, 25 und die
Blattfeder 29 sind dazwischen angeordnet und behindern
des Zugang zu den Nuten 15, 16 nicht. Durch die frei zugängliche
Lage der die Schneidklemmkontakte 13, 14 beherbergenden
Gehäuseabschnitte 11, 12 kann die Lampenfassung
1, wenn sie bspw. mittels der Rasthaken 19, 20 an einer
Montagefläche gehalten ist, mittels eines Verlegefingers
eines automatischen Verdrahtungssystems kontaktiert werden.
Der Finger hat freien Zugang zu den Schneidklemmkontakten
13, 14 und wird weder von der Blattfeder 29 noch
den Rastnasen 24, 25 behindert. Obwohl die Gehäuseabschnitte
11, 12 exponiert an dem Fassungsgehäuse 2 angeordnet
sind, baut dieses sehr klein.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the
Als zusätzliche Anschlussmittel können in der Lampenfassung
1 Einsteckkontakte angeordnet sein, die über entsprechende
Einstecköffnungen 43, 44, 45, 46 zugänglich
sind. Diese sind an der Unterseite 47 des Grundgehäuses 3
angeordnet und somit von unten her zugänglich. Additional connection means can be found in the
Die insoweit beschriebene Lampenfassung wird wie folgt verwendet:The lamp holder described so far will be like used as follows:
Die Lampenfassung 1 ist für die automatische Verdrahtung
eingerichtet. Dazu wird die Lampenfassung 1 mittels
der Rasthaken 19, 20 auf einem Träger montiert und
in die Nuten 15, 16 der Gehäuseabschnitte 11, 12 werden
mittels eines entsprechende Werkzeuges, wie bspw. eines
Verlegefingers eines automatischen Verdrahtungssystems,
Leitungen eingeführt und soweit eingedrückt, dass sich
die Schneidklemmkontakte 13, 14 in die jeweilige Leitung
einschneiden und diese kontaktieren. Danach wird die Lampenfassung
1 von dem temporären Träger gelöst und an dem
Trägerelement 21 befestigt. Sie wird dazu so gegen das
Trägerelement 21 gedrückt, dass die Rastnasen 24, 25 in
die Befestigungsöffnungen 22, 23 finden und dort einrasten.
Dabei wird die sich mit den Anlagebereichen 37, 38
an dem Trägerelement 21 abstützende Blattfeder 29 etwas
gespannt. Die Rastvorsprünge 26, 27 liegen nun unter Federvorspannung
an der Rückseite 28 des Trägerelements 21
an.The
Zu einer Leuchstofflampe gehört die beschriebene
Lampenfassung 1 und eine herkömmliche ungefederte Lampenfassung.
(Aus Gründen der Vereinfachung der Lagerhaltung
können auch zwei gefederte Lampenfassungen 1 miteinander
kombiniert werden). Sie werden einander mit ihren
Rotoren 4 gegenüberliegend in einem Abstand montiert, der
ganz geringfügig kleiner ist als die Länge der Leuchtstofflampe.
Wird nun eine Leuchtstofflampe zwischen die
Lampenfassungen 1 eingeführt, so dass sie mit ihren Sokkelstiften
in die Einführschlitze 8 fährt, werden die
Lampenfassungen 1 dadurch entgegen der Kraft der jeweiligen
Blattfeder 29 etwas auseinander gedrückt. Die Lampenfassungen
1 halten die Leuchtstofflampe zwischeneinander
sicher. Die Rotoren 4 liegen dabei an den Sockeln der
Leuchtstofflampe an. The described lamp belongs to a fluorescent
Längentoleranzen der Leuchtstofflampe, Längenänderungen
durch Temperaturveränderung und dgl. kann durch
die federnde Lagerung der Lampenfassungen 1 leicht ausgeglichen
werden. Dabei ist immer ein ordnungsgemäßer Sitz
des Lampensockels an der Lampenfassung 1 und somit eine
gute Kontaktgabe sichergestellt.Length tolerances of the fluorescent lamp, changes in length

Eine miniaturisierte Lampenfassung 1 ist zur automatischen
Kontaktierung im Schneidklemmverfahren mit
Schneidklemmkontakten 13, 14 versehen, die in entsprechenden,
seitlich neben ihrem Rotor 4 angeordneten
Gehäuseabschnitten 11, 12 angeordnet sind. Um einen Längenausgleich
für Längentoleranzen stabförmiger Leuchtstofflampen
infolge von Fertigungsschwankungen und/oder
Temperaturschwankungen oder ähnlichen Einflüssen zu ermöglichen,
ist an der Lampenfassung 1 rückseitig eine
Blattfeder 29 angeordnet, die eine Spiel aufweisende Befestigungsvorrichtung
24, 25 in einer Richtung auf die
stabförmige Leuchtstofflampe zu vorspannt. Die Blattfeder
29 ist dabei parallel zu dem Einführschlitz 8 der
Fassung, und somit rechtwinklig zu einer gedachten Verbindungslinie
zwischen den beiden Schneidklemmkontakten
13, 14 angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht einen größtmöglichen
Sicherheitsabstand zwischen den Schneidklemmkontakten 13,
14 und der aus Metall bestehenden Blattfeder 29 bei
kleinstmöglicher Bauform. Außerdem wird auf diese Weise
eine gute Zugänglichkeit zu den Schneidklemmkontakten 13,
14 für ein automatisches Verdrahtungssystem sichergestellt.A
