Description

Seit über 100 Jahren sind Glühlampen mit der sogenannten Edison-Schraubfassung in Gebrauch. Eine einzige spätere Lösung, die sogenannte Bajonett-Fassung, wurde für Wohnraumbeleuchtungen in größeren Mengen eingesetzt. Selbst bei den modernen Energiesparlampen hat man die Edison- und Bajonettsockel beibehalten, um sie mit den "altbewährten Lampen austauschbar zu machen. Notgedrungen haben sogar alle Prüfstellen weltweit den Gebrauch der an sich lebensgefährdenden Fassungen toleriert, denn es gab einfach keine Lösungen, welche den Vorstellungen der zuständigen Gremien genügten. Diese Bedingungen, wie ein künftiges berührungssicheres Sockel-/Fassungssystem aussehen sollte, sind zwar seit zwanzig Jahren in Normvorschlägen definiert, aber erst 1997 wurde eine alle Anforderungen erfüllende Lösung bekannt und zum Patent angemeldet (DPA 197 23 029.6). Aber auch diese Lösung konnte noch nicht auf breiter Ebene eingeführt werden, da die Voraussetzungen zur Produktionsumstellung riesige Kosten erfordern. Überdies ist eine solche Umstellung auf ein neues System mit dem Wunsch verbunden, auch andere störende Faktoren zu beseitigen oder zumindest zu vermindern.Incandescent lamps with the so-called Edison screw socket have been for over 100 years in use. A single later solution, the so-called bayonet version, was used for living room lighting in large quantities. Even at the modern energy-saving lamps have retained the Edison and bayonet bases, to make them interchangeable with the "tried and true lamps. Necessarily even all test centers worldwide have the use of the life-threatening Versions tolerated, because there were simply no solutions the ideas of the responsible bodies were sufficient. These conditions, like a future touch-safe base / socket system should look like Although it has been defined in standard proposals for twenty years, it was not until 1997 that known solution meeting all requirements and patent pending (DPA 197 23 029.6). But this solution could not yet be introduced on a broad scale because the conditions for the production changeover are huge Require costs. In addition, such a switch to a new system is included the desire to eliminate other disturbing factors or at least to diminish.

Aus der US1,519,923, die den Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bildet, geht dazu eine Lampenfassung mit Schraubgewinde nach Edison hervor, die zentral im Gehäuse ein Kontaktsystem und um den Schutzkragen herum verteilt angeordnet nicht berührungsgeschütze Kontakte aufweist. From US1,519,923, which forms the preamble of claim 1, goes to a lamp holder with screw thread Edison, who has a contact system in the center of the housing and around the Protective collar distributed around non-contact protected contacts having.

Aus der DE 197 23 029 A1, die auf den Anmelder zurückgeht, sind ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zur Rasterung von elektrischen Steckverbindungen, insbesondere für Lampen bekannt, die jedoch noch eine bis dato bekannte Bauhöhe aufweist.DE 197 23 029 A1, which goes back to the applicant, is a method and a device for screening electrical plug connections, especially known for lamps, but one that is still known to date Has overall height.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, neue, insbesondere berührungssichere Fassungen weiter zu verbessern, vor allem in bezug auf Einbaugröße und Anwendungsfreundlichkeit. Dies wird durch mehrere Maßnahmen erreicht. Hauptziel ist die Verkürzung der neuen Fassung, verglichen mit den bisherigen, um die größere Länge der Energiesparlampen im Vergleich zu Allgebrauchs-Glühlampen zumindest teilweise auszugleichen. The object of the present invention is to develop new, in particular touch-proof To further improve frames, especially with regard to installation size and ease of use. This is achieved through several measures. The main goal is the shortening of the new version compared to the previous version by the larger one At least the length of the energy-saving lamps compared to incandescent lamps partially compensate.

Das wird erfindungsgemäß mit den zusätzlichen Merkmalen gemäß dem Kennzeichenteil von Anspruch 1 erreicht.This is achieved according to the invention with the additional features according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die Lösung, die Netzleitungen axial zuzuführen, begünstigt den Einbau erfindungsgemäßer Fassungen in Leuchten.The solution to supply the power lines axially favors the installation of the invention Sockets in lights.

Eine weitere Verbesserung besteht darin, daß eine zur Befestigung der Fassung z.B. an einer Wand, dienende Grundplatte mit einer zentralen Zuführung für die Netzleitungen versehen ist und Kanäle oder Hohlräume zur Aufnahme der Drähte, die zu den ringförmig angeordneten Anschlußklemmen führen, vorhanden sind.Another improvement is that one for attaching the socket e.g. on a wall, serving base plate with a central feeder for the Power lines are provided and channels or cavities for receiving the wires, that lead to the ring-shaped terminals are present.

Die Zuführung ist mit einem Rohrgewinde versehen, um die neue Fassung in bisher üblicher Art auch auf ein Rohr aufschrauben zu können.The feeder is provided with a pipe thread, to screw the new version onto a pipe in the usual way to be able to.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Bauform der ringförmig angeordneten Anschlußklemmen ergibt sich eine wesentliche Verkürzung, durch die allerdings die Verwendung genormter Teile nicht verloren gehen sollte. Daher wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, auch bei der neuen Fassung am Umfang der Fassung entsprechende Gewinde wie bei den bisherigen Fassungen anzubringen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführung besteht darin, nicht nur ein Gewinde am äußeren Umfang der Fassung, sondern auch ein zweites Gewinde am Schutzkragen vorzusehen.The inventive design of the ring-shaped terminals there is a significant shortening, however, through the use standardized parts should not be lost. Therefore, according to the invention proposed, also in the new version corresponding to the scope of the version Thread as in previous versions. A special one advantageous embodiment is not just a thread on the outside Scope of the socket, but also to provide a second thread on the protective collar.

Es wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, beide Gewinde auf demselben Fassungsteil, dem Gehäuse, anzuordnen, wodurch sich eine einfache Gestaltung der Spritzwerkzeuge ergibt. It is proposed according to the invention to have both threads on the same socket part, the housing to be arranged, which results in a simple design of the Spraying tools results.

Da die Erfindung eine einfache Montage anstrebt, wird vorgeschlagen, die von außen gut zugänglichen Anschlußklemmen mit einer Abdeckung zu versehen, welche alle spannungsführenden Teile umhüllt und die einfach aufsteckbar, aber vorschriftsgemäß nur mit einem Werkzeug abnehmbar ist.Since the invention aims for simple assembly, it is proposed that provide a readily accessible terminal block with a cover, which envelops all live parts and which are simply attachable, however can only be removed with a tool in accordance with regulations.

Um eine universelle Montage zu ermöglichen, wird empfohlen, in der Grundplatte auch weitere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten vorzusehen z.B. Löcher, die eine Befestigung mittels Schrauben an einer Wand gestatten.In order to enable universal installation, it is recommended to use the base plate also provide other mounting options e.g. Holes that have an attachment allow by means of screws on a wall.

Die Verwendung von schraubenlosen Klemmen und Schnappverbindungen zwischen Gehäuse, Grundplatte und Deckel vereinfacht die neue Fassung.The use of screwless clamps and snap connections between The new version simplifies the housing, base plate and cover.

Die nachstehend beschriebenen Figuren 4-8 sind als ein schematisches Beispiel zu sehen, um den Erfindungsgedanken besser zu verstehen. Das Beispiel ist in keiner Art als beschränkend aufzufassen, da überdies aus den Zeichnungen weitere Erfindungsmerkmale und Anregungen zu entnehmen sind.Figures 4-8 described below are a schematic example to see to better understand the idea of the invention. The example is in not to be construed as restrictive in any way, since more from the drawings Features of the invention and suggestions can be found.

    • Im einzelnen sind aus den Abbildungen folgende Details zu erkennen:The following details can be seen in the figures:

    Die Bauhöhe der Fassung gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 ist praktisch weniger als die Hälfte der bisher üblichen Fassungen, bei denen die Anschlußkontakte axial hinter dem Kontaktsystem angeordnet sind. Die Möglichkeit, sowohl am Schutzkragen (2) als auch am äußeren Umfang des Gehäuses ein Außengewinde (8) vorzusehen, macht diese neue Fassung kompatibel mit fast allen derzeit gebräuchlichen Fassungen. So kann z.B. das Gewinde (7) am Schutzkragen (2) den international genormten Abmessungen einer Edison-Fassung E14 entsprechen und das Außengewinde (8) kann den Abmessungen des ebenfalls weltweit genormten Edison-Schraubgewindes E27 entsprechen. Leuchten mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Fassung könnten sowohl mit dem Zubehör für das E14- als auch für das E27-System kompatibel verwendet werden.1 and 2 is practically less than half of the usual height Sockets in which the connection contacts are arranged axially behind the contact system are. The possibility of both the protective collar (2) and the outer Providing an external thread (8) around the circumference of the housing makes this new version compatible with almost all frames currently in use. For example, the thread (7) on the protective collar (2) the internationally standardized dimensions correspond to an Edison socket E14 and the external thread (8) can measure of the Edison screw thread E27, which is also standardized worldwide. Luminaires with a socket according to the invention could both with compatible with the accessories for the E14 and E27 systems become.

    Der Schnitt Fig. 2 durch diese Fassung zeigt den einfachen Aufbau mit einem zentralen Schraubgewinde (12) für Lampen mit E14-Sockel. Der Bodenkontakt (17) ist als einfaches Stanzteil ausgeführt und ist in Verbindung mit der Kontaktfeder (19) als schraubenlose Anschlußklemme gestaltet. Ebenso verhält es sich mit dem Seitenkontakt (18), der - mit einer Kontaktfeder (19) ausgestattet - ebenfalls eine schraubenlose Anschlußklemme darstellt. Durch die Löcher (11) können die Netzleitungen (13) eingesteckt werden, wobei das danebenliegende Loch (11) dazu dienen kann, die Kontaktfedern (19) mit einem Stift zurückzudrücken, um die Drahtverbindung wieder zu lösen.The section Fig. 2 through this version shows the simple structure with a central screw thread (12) for lamps with E14 base. The ground contact (17) is designed as a simple stamped part and is in connection with the contact spring (19) designed as a screwless terminal. It is the same with the side contact (18), which - equipped with a contact spring (19) - also represents a screwless terminal. Through the holes (11) the power lines (13) can be plugged in, the adjacent one Hole (11) can serve to push back the contact springs (19) with a pin, to release the wire connection.

    Das zentral angeordnete Kontaktsystem zur Aufnahme des Lampensockels trägt am Schutzkragen (2) ein Gewinde (7), um gegebenenfalls Zubehör, wie Lampenschirme u.ä. befestigen zu können. Solches Zubehör ist überall auf dem Weltmarkt vorhanden und genormt und die als Beispiel dargestellte Fassung ist mit dem Zubehör für E14-Fassungen kompatibel. The centrally arranged contact system for receiving the lamp base supports a thread (7) on the protective collar (2), for accessories, such as lampshades etc. to be able to attach. Such accessories are everywhere on the world market available and standardized and the version shown as an example is included compatible with the accessories for E14 sockets.

    Zusätzlich ist auf dem größten Durchmesser der Fassung ein Außengewinde (8) vorgesehen, das z.B. den Normen für ein Edison-Schraubgewinde E27 entspricht. Dadurch wird diese Fassung auch für alles Zubehör kompatibel, das für Fassungen E27 auf dem Markt ist.In addition, there is an external thread (8) on the largest diameter of the socket. provided that e.g. meets the standards for an Edison E27 screw thread. This makes this frame compatible for all accessories, including frames E27 is on the market.

    Der Vorteil für die Leuchtenhersteller ist offensichtlich. Mit einer einzigen Fassung mit extrem niedriger Bauhöhe kann man das gesamte Zubehör für die bisherigen Fassungen E14 und E27 verwenden.The advantage for the luminaire manufacturers is obvious. With a single frame With an extremely low height, you can get all the accessories for the previous ones Use frames E14 and E27.

    Die Montage der neuen Fassungen ist extrem einfach, besteht sie doch grundsätzlich nur aus drei Kunststoffbauteilen, nämlich dem Gehäuse (1), der Grundplatte (10) und einem Schutzdeckel (9), der die angeschlossenen, am Ende abisolierten Leitungsadern (28) vor Berührung schützt, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt.The installation of the new frames is extremely easy, as it basically exists only three plastic components, namely the housing (1), the base plate (10) and a protective cover (9), which stripped the connected, at the end Line wires (28) protects against contact, as shown in Fig. 6.

    Die Netzleitungen können z.B. durch Löcher (20) axial in die Fassung eingeführt werden, wobei auch die Löcher (21) zur Befestigung der Fassung, z.B. an einer Wand, nicht über das Außengewinde (8) hinausragen. Sowohl die Befestigungslöcher (21) als auch die Löcher (20) für die Netzleitungen werden nach erfolgter Installation durch den Schutzdeckel (9) umhüllt.The power lines can e.g. inserted axially into the socket through holes (20) the holes (21) for attaching the socket, e.g. at a Wall, do not protrude beyond the external thread (8). Both the mounting holes (21) as well as the holes (20) for the power lines are done after Installation covered by the protective cover (9).

    Die in den Fig. 4 bis 8 dargestellte berührungssichere Fassung ist ein schematisches Beispiel zur Erläuterung des Erfindungsgedankens. In der Schnittzeichnung Fig. 4 ist dargestellt, wie eine Lampe mit einem berührungssicheren Lampensockel (16) eingesetzt werden kann. Zum besseren Verständnis ist in Fig. 7 und Fig. 7a ein Grundriß und Aufriß eines solchen Lampensockels (16) als Beispiel dargestellt. Es handelt sich in diesem Fall um einen Stiftsockel mit vier Sockelstiften (22), die in einem Sockelansatz (26) gefaßt sind. Rastprofile (25) am Sockelansatz sichern die Lampe nach dem Einsetzen im Zusammenwirken mit federnden Rasten (24), wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Der Lampensockel (16) mit seinem Rastprofil (25) ist in Fig. 4 mit gestrichelten Linien eingetragen. Der Lampensockel (16) liegt nach Einsetzen der Lampe auf dem Schutzkragen (2) auf. Damit wird das bei den bisherigen Fassungen oft beobachtete Eindringen von Staub oder sogar von Insekten zuverlässig vermieden.The touch-proof version shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 is a schematic example to explain the inventive concept. In the sectional drawing Fig. 4 is shown as a lamp with a touch-proof Lamp base (16) can be used. For a better understanding is shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 7a is a plan and elevation of such a lamp base (16) as an example shown. In this case it is a pin base with four Socket pins (22) which are held in a socket extension (26). Locking profiles (25) on Base insert secure the lamp after insertion in cooperation with resilient Notches (24), as shown in Fig. 4. The lamp base (16) with his Locking profile (25) is shown in Fig. 4 with dashed lines. The lamp base (16) lies on the protective collar (2) after inserting the lamp. In order to the dust penetration often observed in previous versions or even reliably avoided by insects.

    In Fig. 5 ist ein Schnitt durch das Kontaktsystem dargestellt. Die federnden Kontakte (4) liegen nach dem Einsetzen der Lampe an den Sockelstiften (22) an, welche durch die Löcher (23) hindurchragen. Die spannungsführenden federnden Kontakte (4) liegen vorschriftsmäßig hinter den Löchern (23) und sind selbst beim Lampenwechsel berührungssicher.5 shows a section through the contact system. The springy contacts (4) rest on the base pins (22) after the lamp has been inserted, which protrude through the holes (23). The live springy Contacts (4) are correctly behind the holes (23) and are even at Lamp replacement safe to touch.

    In diesem Beispiel sind die Anschlußklemmen (3) als schraubenlose Klemmen beispielsweise dargestellt, wobei auch hier die Kontaktfedern (19) die blanken Enden der isolierten Leitungsadern (28), die durch die Löcher (11) gesteckt werden, zuverlässig klemmen. In Fig. 4 ist schematisch dargestellt, wie die Netzleitung (13) mit den isolierten Leitungsadern (28) zentral in die Grundplatte (10) eingesetzt wird, wobei in diesem Beispiel die zentrale Einführung als Rohrgewinde (5) gestaltet ist, die eine Montage der Fassung an einem Rohrende entsprechenden Durchmessers gestattet, wie es in der Leuchtenindustrie weltweit üblich ist.In this example, the connection terminals (3) are, for example, screwless terminals shown, here also the contact springs (19) the bare ends the insulated line wires (28) which are inserted through the holes (11), reliably terminals. 4 schematically shows how the power line (13) inserted with the insulated cable cores (28) centrally in the base plate (10) in this example, the central introduction is designed as a pipe thread (5) is corresponding to an assembly of the socket on a pipe end Diameter allowed, as is common in the lighting industry worldwide.

    Um die Montage zu erleichtern, kann ― von außen zugänglich ― eine Montageöffnung (29) vorgesehen werden, die das Einschieben der isolierten Leitungsadern (28) in die Kanäle (6) erleichtert.To facilitate assembly, an assembly opening can be accessed from the outside (29) can be provided to insert the insulated cable cores (28) in the channels (6) facilitated.

    Nach beendeter Montage wird auf die Fassung gemäß Fig. 6 der Schutzdeckel (9) aufgesetzt und z.B. mit zwei Deckelschrauben (14) befestigt. Die dazu gehörigen Gewinde (15) sind im Gehäuse (1) vorgesehen. Selbstverständlich ist auch in diesem Fall eine Schnappverbindung, die nur mit einem Werkzeug gelöst werden kann, möglich, um die Montage des Schutzdeckels (9) noch einfacher zu gestalten. Das Gleiche gilt übrigens auch für den Zusammenbau der Grundplatte (10) mit dem Gehäuse (1). Die Aussparungen (27) dienen eventuell einer Positionierung des Schutzdeckels (9), der auch entsprechende Ansätze (30), wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, haben kann. After assembly has been completed, the protective cover (9) is placed on the holder according to FIG. put on and e.g. fixed with two cover screws (14). The associated ones Threads (15) are provided in the housing (1). Of course, this too Fall a snap connection that can only be released with a tool can, possible to make the assembly of the protective cover (9) even easier. The same also applies to the assembly of the base plate (10) with the housing (1). The cutouts (27) may serve for positioning the protective cover (9), which also has corresponding lugs (30), as in FIG. 1 represented, may have.

    Die als Beispiel in den Figure 4-8 schematisch dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Fassunge kann selbstverständlich den Erfindungsgedanken nicht erschöpfend beschreiben. Alle Teile können, abweichend von diesen Beispielen, konstruktiv anders gestaltet werden. Das gilt für die Kontakte ebenso wie für das Rastsystem und die Anschlußklemmen. Das dargestellte Beispiel dient ausschließlich dem besseren Verständnis der Erfindung.The version according to the invention shown schematically as an example in Figures 4-8 can of course not exhaustively describe the idea of the invention. Deviating from these examples, all parts can be designed differently become. This applies to the contacts as well as to the locking system and the Terminals. The example shown is for the better only Understanding of the invention.
