Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte, welche mit einer Notstromversorgung verbindbar ist bzw. eine eigene Notstromversorgung enthält.The present invention relates to a luminaire which can be connected to an emergency power supply or contains its own emergency power supply.

Größere Beleuchtungssysteme sind üblicherweise derart ausgestaltet, daß im Falle eines Ausfalls der normalen Stromversorgung zumindest einige der Leuchten mit Hilfe einer speziellen Notstromversorgung weiter versorgt werden und damit für eine Mindestbeleuchtung sorgen. Die Notstromversorgung kann beispielsweise durch ein zentrales Notstromaggregat gebildet werden, welches mit den einzelnen Notlichtleuchten über - von den üblichen Stromversorgungsleitungen getrennten - Leitungen verbunden ist. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht aber auch darin, die einzelnen Notlichtleuchten jeweils mit einem eigenen Akkumulator auszustatten, der im Normalbetrieb mit Hilfe der Netzstromversorgung aufgeladen wird und dessen gespeicherte Energie im Falle eines Notzustandes zum Aufrechterhalten der Beleuchtung verwendet wird.Larger lighting systems are usually designed such that in the event of a failure of the normal power supply at least some of the lights with the help of a special emergency power supply continue to be supplied, thus ensuring minimum lighting. The emergency power supply can be formed for example by a central emergency generator, which is connected to the individual emergency lights on - separated from the usual power supply lines - lines. Another possibility, however, is to equip each individual emergency light with its own battery, which is charged in normal operation with the aid of the mains power supply and whose stored energy is used in the event of an emergency condition for maintaining the lighting.

Um einen zuverlässigen und sicheren Betrieb zu gewährleisten, ist eine Kontrolle des Zustands der Notstromversorgung unerläßlich. Erfolgt die Notstromversorgung der einzelnen Leuchten durch ein zentrales Notstromaggregat, so ist eine Überwachung dieses Aggregats in der Regel ausreichend. Für den Fall, daß die Notlichtleuchten jeweils einzeln mit Akkumulatoren ausgestattet sind, ist jedoch eine dezentrale Kontrolle erforderlich, da der Zustand der Akkumulatoren von Leuchte zu Leuchte verschieden sein kann. Aus der US 3,931,689 ist hierzu bekannt, bei einer Notlichtleuchte in dem oberen Gehäusebereich eine Kontrollampe in Form einer LED anzubrigen, welche den Zustand der Notstromversorgung anzeigt. Diese Kontrollampe ist horizontal orientiert, so daß bei einer seitlichen Betrachtung der Leuchte der Zustand der Notstromversorgung kontrolliert werden kann.To ensure reliable and safe operation, it is essential to check the state of the emergency power supply. If the emergency power supply of the individual lights by a central emergency generator, so monitoring of this unit is usually sufficient. In the event that the emergency lights are each individually equipped with batteries, however, a decentralized control is required because the state of the batteries may be different from light to light. From US 3,931,689 this is known to anzigern an emergency light in the upper housing area a control lamp in the form of an LED, which indicates the state of the emergency power supply. This indicator is horizontally oriented, so that the condition of the emergency power supply can be checked when the light is viewed from the side.

Ausgehen von der US 3,931,689 vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Möglichkeit zur Darstellung des Zustand der Notstromversorgung für eine Leuchte anzugeben.Starting from the US 3,931,689 present invention has for its object to provide an improved way to represent the state of the emergency power supply for a lamp.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte, welche die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte besteht aus einem Trägerelement, an dem Fassungshalter zur Aufnahme von Fassungen für eine oder mehrere Lampen angeordnet sind, wobei die Leuchte mit Mitteln zur Notstromversorgung verbindbar ist bzw. Mittel zur Notstromversorgung enthält und eine Kontrollampe zur Anzeige des Zustands der Notstromversorgung aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist zumindest einer der Fassungshalter zumindest teilweise transparent ausgebildet und weist in dem transparenten Bereich eine Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Kontrollampe zur Anzeige des Zustands der Notstromversorgung auf, wobei eine in dieser Aufnahmevorrichtung angeordnete Kontrollampe in Abstrahlrichtung der Leuchte orientiert ist.The object is achieved by a luminaire having the features of claim 1. The lamp according to the invention consists of a support element, are arranged on the socket holder for receiving sockets for one or more lamps, the lamp with means for emergency power supply is connected or contains means for emergency power supply and a warning lamp to display the State of the emergency power supply has. According to the invention, at least one of the holder holders is at least partially transparent and has in the transparent area a receiving device for the control lamp for displaying the state of the emergency power supply, wherein a control lamp arranged in this receiving device is oriented in the emission direction of the lamp.

Die erfindungsgemäße transparente Ausgestaltung des Fassungshalters ermöglicht es somit, die Kontrollampe in die Leuchte zu integrieren und nicht an einem außerhalb der Leuchte liegenden und oftmals nur schwer einsehbaren Ort anordnen zu müssen. Da die Kontrollampe in Abstrahlrichtung der Leuchte orientiert ist, kann beispielsweise bei an der Decke angebrachten Leuchten auf einfache Weise von unten erkannt werden, ob die Notstromversorgung in Ordnung ist oder nicht. Zwar ist der Einsatz transparenter Fassungshalter bereits aus JP 2000-340024 bekannt, allerdings steht hier das Ziel im Vordergrund, eine Schattenbildung zu vermeiden.The transparent embodiment of the socket holder according to the invention thus makes it possible to integrate the warning lamp in the lamp and not have to arrange at a lying outside the light and often difficult to see place. Since the indicator is oriented in the direction of the lamp, it can be easily detected from below, for example, when the lights are mounted on the ceiling, whether the emergency power supply is in order or not. Although the use of transparent frame holders is already known from JP 2000-340024, the goal here is to avoid shadowing.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

So kann die Leuchte mit dem erfindungsgemäß transparent ausgestalteten Fassungshalter jegliche Form annehmen. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich allerdings um eine Leuchte für längliche Gasentladungslampen, bei der das Trägerelement länglich ausgebildet ist, wobei die Fassungshalter jeweils an den Stirnseiten des Trägerelements angeordnet sind. Vorzugsweise ist das Trägerelement derart ausgestaltet, daß es an den Tragschienen eines Stromschienensystems befestigt werden kann. Weiterhin können an dem Trägerelement ein Reflektor oder andere Lichtbeeinflussungsmittel befestigt werden.Thus, the light can take any shape with the inventively transparent designed frame holder. Preferably, however, it is a lamp for elongated gas discharge lamps, in which the carrier element is elongated, wherein the socket holders are each arranged on the end sides of the support member. Preferably, the support element is designed such that it can be fastened to the support rails of a busbar system. Furthermore, a reflector or other light influencing means can be attached to the carrier element.

Bei der Kontrollampe handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine lichtemittierende Diode (LED). Die Mittel zur Notstromversorgung können durch ein oder mehrere an der Leuchte angeordnete Akkumulatoren gebildet werden.The control lamp is preferably a light emitting diode (LED). The means for emergency power supply can be formed by one or more arranged on the lamp accumulators.

Der Fassungshalter kann aus einem zur Befestigung an dem Trägerelement vorgesehenen Halterungsbereich sowie einem senkrecht dazu angeordneten und zur Aufnahme ein oder mehrerer Fassungen vorgesehenen Aufnahmebereich bestehen, wobei zumindest der Halterungsbereich transparent ausgebildet ist und die Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Kontrollampe enthält. Dabei weist das Trägerelement vorzugsweise an den Stirnseiten Ausnehmungen auf, in welche die Halterungsbereiche der Fassungshalter bzw. daran vorgesehene Rastvorsprünge zumindest teilweise eingreifen. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Kontrollampe wird vorzugsweise durch zwei einander gegenüberliegende Klemmelemente gebildet.The frame holder may consist of a mounting area provided for attachment to the carrier element and a receiving area arranged perpendicularly and provided for receiving one or more sockets, wherein at least the holding area is transparent and contains the receiving device for the warning lamp. In this case, the carrier element preferably has recesses on the end faces into which the holding areas of the holder holders or latching projections provided thereon at least partially engage. The recording device for the control lamp is preferably formed by two opposing clamping elements.

Die oben genannte Aufgabe wird auch durch einen Fassungshalter für eine Leuchte, die mit Mitteln zur Notstromversorgung verbindbar ist bzw. Mittel zur Notstromversorgung enthält, gelöst, wobei der Fassungshalter erfindungsgemäß zumindest teilweise transparent ausgebildet ist und in dem transparenten Bereich eine Aufnahmevorrichtung für eine Kontrollampe zur Anzeige des Zustands der Notstromversorgung aufweist, in welcher Aufnahmevorrichtung die Kontrollampe in Abstrahlrichtung der Leuchte orientiert ist.The abovementioned object is also achieved by a socket holder for a luminaire which can be connected to means for emergency power supply or contains means for emergency power supply, wherein the socket holder is formed according to the invention at least partially transparent and in the transparent region a receiving device for a warning lamp for display of the state of the emergency power supply, in which recording device the indicator is oriented in the direction of radiation of the lamp.

Figur 1 zeigt die Grundelemente der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte, die im dargestellten Beispiel an der Tragschiene 1 eines Stromschienensystems befestigt ist. Ein derartiges Stromschienensystem ermöglicht die aufeinanderfolgende Anordnung einer Reihe von Leuchten zu einem geschlossenen Lichtband. Die Tragschienen 1 sind dabei C-förmig ausgestaltet und nach unten hin offen, wobei in ihrem Inneren die Leitungen zur Stromversorgung und möglicherweise auch zur Übertragung von Helligkeits- und Dimmwertbefehlen sowie zur Notstromversorgung angeordnet sind. Ferner werden bei der Montage der Leuchten die Vorschaltgeräte für die Lampen in der Tragschiene 1 aufgenommen.Figure 1 shows the basic elements of the lamp according to the invention, which is fixed in the example shown on the support rail 1 of a busbar system. Such a busbar system allows the sequential arrangement of a series of lights to a closed light strip. The mounting rails 1 are configured C-shaped and open at the bottom, wherein in its interior the lines for power supply and possibly also for the transmission of brightness and dimming value commands and emergency power supply are arranged. Furthermore, the ballasts for the lamps in the mounting rail 1 are added during assembly of the lights.

Die Befestigung der Leuchte an der Tragschiene 1 erfolgt über ein längliches Trägerelement 2 in Form eines Balkens, welches auf die offene Unterseite der Tragschiene 1 aufgesetzt und mit Hilfe von nicht dargestellten Verriegelungselementen befestigt wird. An den beiden Stirnseiten des Trägerelements 2 sind zwei Fassungshalter 3 angeordnet, in denen jeweils eine Fassung 4 für die Halterung einer nicht dargestellten Leuchtstoffröhre angeordnet ist. Auf dem Trägerelement 2 sitzen ferner die zur Notstromversorgung vorgesehenen - nicht dargestellten - Akkumulatoren, die Notstromversorgung kann alternativ dazu allerdings auch von zentraler Stelle aus erfolgen.The attachment of the lamp to the support rail 1 via an elongated support member 2 in the form of a bar, which is placed on the open bottom of the support rail 1 and secured by means of locking elements, not shown. At the two end faces of the support member 2, two frame holder 3 are arranged, in each of which a socket 4 is arranged for the holder of a fluorescent tube, not shown. On the support member 2 also sit provided for emergency power supply - not shown - accumulators, the Emergency power supply can alternatively be done from a central point.

Die genaue Ausgestaltung einer Stirnseite des Trägerelements 2 sowie des erfindungsgemäßen Fassungshalters 3 ist der vergrößerten Darstellung in Figur 2 zu entnehmen. Der Fassungshalter 3 besteht dabei aus einem zur Befestigung an der Tragschiene 1 und an dem Trägerelement 2 vorgesehenen Halterungsbereich 6 sowie einem zur Aufnahme der Fassung 4 vorgesehenen und in einem rechten Winkel zu dem Halterungsbereich 6 angeordneten Aufnahmebereich 7. Die Befestigung erfolgt dabei mit Hilfe von zwei Seitenflügeln 8, welche in das Profil der Tragschiene 1 eingreifen, sowie durch an der Unterseite des Halterungsbereichs 6 vorgesehene Rastvorsprünge 9, welche in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 10 des Trägerelements 2 eingreifen. Darüber hinaus weist das Trägerelement 2 an der Stirnseite eine U-förmige Ausnehmung 11 auf, in welche der Halterungsbereich 6 teilweise eingreift.The exact configuration of an end face of the support element 2 and of the socket holder 3 according to the invention can be seen in the enlarged illustration in FIG. The frame holder 3 consists of a provided for attachment to the support rail 1 and on the support member 2 support portion 6 and a receptacle 4 provided for and provided at a right angle to the support portion 6 receiving area 7. The attachment is carried out with the help of two Side wings 8, which engage in the profile of the support rail 1, as well as provided on the underside of the support portion 6 locking projections 9, which engage in corresponding recesses 10 of the support member 2. In addition, the carrier element 2 on the end face on a U-shaped recess 11, in which the support portion 6 partially engages.

Im vorliegenden Beispiel ist der Fassungshalter 3 vollständig transparent ausgebildet. Es wäre allerdings auch denkbar, lediglich den oberen Halterungsbereich 6 transparent zu gestalten, um zu gewährleisten, daß die innerhalb des Fassungshalters 3 angeordnete Kontrollampe von unten betrachtet sichtbar ist.In the present example, the holder holder 3 is completely transparent. However, it would also be conceivable to make only the upper support portion 6 transparent in order to ensure that the control lamp located within the socket holder 3 is visible from below.

Bevor die genauere Ausgestaltung des Fassungsträgers 3 sowie die Anordnung der Kontrollampe darin erläutert werden soll, soll eine Weiterbildung der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Leuchte anhand der Figuren 3 und 4 beschrieben werden. Die Weiterbildung besteht darin, daß an dem länglichen Trägerelement 2 weitere, die Abstrahlung der Leuchte beeinflussende Elemente angeordnet sein können. Im vorliegenden Fall ist an dem Trägerelement 2 beispielsweise ein Reflektor 5 befestigt. Ferner kann auch das Anbringen von Rastern oder Diffusoren vorgesehen sein.Before the more detailed embodiment of the socket carrier 3 as well as the arrangement of the warning lamp is to be explained therein, a further development of the lamp shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The development consists in that on the elongate support member 2 more, the radiation of the lamp influencing elements can be arranged. In the present case, for example, a reflector 5 is attached to the support element 2. Furthermore, the attachment of grids or diffusers can also be provided.

Anhand der Figuren 5-7, die den erfindungsgemäßen Fassungshalter 3 aus verschiedenen Richtungen zeigen, soll dessen genauerer Aufbau erläutert werden. Der in Figur 5 dargestellten Frontansicht ist zu entnehmen, daß der im montierten Zustand vertikal orientierte Aufnahmebereich 7 eine Ausnehmung 12 zur Aufnahme einer üblichen Lampenfassung aufweist. An den Seitenwänden dieses Aufnahmebereichs 7 sind Öffnungen 13 vorgesehen, in welche an der Fassung angeordnete Vorsprünge eingreifen und damit einen sicheren Halt in der Ausnehmung 12 bieten. Die obere Begrenzungswand der Ausnehmung 12 weist dabei mehrere Durchgangslöcher 14 für Stromzuführungsleitungen auf.With reference to the figures 5-7, showing the socket holder 3 according to the invention from different directions, its more detailed structure will be explained. The front view shown in Figure 5 it can be seen that the vertically oriented in the mounted state receiving portion 7 has a recess 12 for receiving a conventional lamp socket. On the side walls of this receiving portion 7 openings 13 are provided, in which engage the socket arranged projections and thus provide a secure fit in the recess 12. The upper boundary wall of the recess 12 in this case has a plurality of through holes 14 for power supply lines.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Kontrollampe ist der in Figur 7 gezeigten perspektivischen Aufsicht zu entnehmen. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung besteht dabei aus zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Klemmelementen 15, zwischen die die nicht dargestellte LED-Kontrollampe eingesteckt werden kann. Da sich die durch die Klemmelemente 15 gebildete Aufnahmevorrichtung in dem Bereich des transparenten Halterungsbereichs 6 befindet, der in die stirnseitige Ausnehmung 11 des Trägerelements 2 eingreift, wird die Kontrollampe nicht durch das Trägerelement 2 verdeckt und ist daher von unten betrachtet gut sichtbar.The recording device according to the invention for the control lamp is shown in the perspective view shown in Figure 7. The receiving device consists of two opposing clamping elements 15, between which the LED control lamp, not shown, can be inserted. Since the receiving device formed by the clamping elements 15 is in the region of the transparent mounting portion 6, which engages in the frontal recess 11 of the support member 2, the warning lamp is not covered by the support member 2 and is therefore clearly visible from below.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Kontrollampe aufzunehmen, wird durch das seitlich angeordnete Klemmelement 16 gebildet, welches in Zusammenwirkung mit vertikal verlaufenden Wänden des Fassungshalters 3 ebenfalls eine Aufnahme bildet. In diesem Fall ist die Kontrollampe seitlich versetzt zu der Lampenfassung angeordnet, wodurch sie nochmals besser sichtbar ist. Die Kontrollampe, welche beispielsweise durch eine grüne LED gebildet wird, zeigt dabei an, ob eine intakte Notstromversorgung vorliegt oder nicht.Another way to accommodate the control lamp is formed by the laterally disposed clamping element 16, which also forms a receptacle in cooperation with vertically extending walls of the socket holder 3. In this case, the indicator is laterally offset from the lamp socket, making it even more visible. The warning lamp, which is formed for example by a green LED, indicates whether an intact emergency power supply is present or not.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte bzw. der erfindungsgemäße Fassungshalter ermöglichen somit auf einfache Weise, den Zustand der Notstromversorgung für die Leuchte zu überwachen. Die Erfindung ist dabei auch nicht auf das dargestellte Beispiel eines Fassungshalters für eine einzige Fassung beschränkt. In gleicher Weise können die transparente Ausgestaltung des Fassungshalters sowie die Aufnahmevorrichtung für eine Kontrollampe auch bei einem zwei-flammigen System Verwendung finden, bei dem der Fassungshalter jeweils zur Aufnahme von zwei Lampenfassungen ausgebildet ist. Durch die Orientierung der Kontrollampe in Abstrahlrichtung ist darüber hinaus eine gute Sichtbarkeit der Kontrollampe gewährleistet.The luminaire according to the invention or the frame holder according to the invention thus make it possible in a simple manner to monitor the state of the emergency power supply for the luminaire. The invention is not limited to the illustrated example of a socket holder for a single version. Similarly, the transparent configuration of the socket holder and the recording device for a warning lamp can also be used in a two-flame system in which the socket holder is designed in each case for receiving two lamp sockets. The orientation of the control lamp in the direction of radiation also ensures good visibility of the warning lamp.
