Definitions

  • the invention relates to a version with the features of the preamble of claim 1, in particular for Contacting and holding fluorescent lamps.
  • Fluorescent lamps are in a widely used Form formed as straight tubes, each end carry a two-pin base.
  • For mounting and contacting such fluorescent lamps are special sockets commonly used, in a corresponding to the lamp length Distance are arranged opposite each other.
  • the lamp holder has a housing that one Insertion slot for the lateral insertion of the two lamp pins having.
  • a disc-shaped housing part rotatably arranged.
  • the insertion slot passes through this disc-shaped housing part.
  • the housing is made in two parts.
  • the front part of the housing carries the contact elements rotatably mounted part and fasteners for stationary storage of the socket.
  • the other housing part forms a bottom that attach separately to the front part is.
  • Corresponding connection means are in Form of insertion openings provided on the front part and provided on the floor, some pins Represent manufacturing costs.
  • DE 2 708 426 discloses a lamp holder with a rotating body known for fluorescent lamps of the type mentioned, wherein the rotating body extends through the housing. He has one tubular pin, which is slotted on the side. Such a pin hides the contact springs when it is in Insertion position is. The pin is on the back of the socket locked with the socket housing. This version is critical with regard to the mount assembly. The contact springs cannot easily from the front or back be inserted into the housing. The assembly is not automation-friendly.
  • EP 758 808 A2 also discloses a fluorescent lamp holder known with a rotating body that by two locking legs is held in the housing.
  • the rotating body has a slotted front section that is flush runs in a housing opening on the front of the housing, without reaching over the housing. From the back of the case Two resilient legs protrude into the interior of the rotating body and lock it at about the height of the front plate.
  • This design is hardly suitable for fluorescent lamps with very narrow pin spacing.
  • Socket for lamps with a pin base in particular Fluorescent lamps, to create those for lamps with low Pin spacing is suitable.
  • the socket according to the invention has a rotating body on one extending into the housing Has pin section.
  • the rotating body held on the rear wall of the housing, i.e. by storage of the front end portion of the pin portion on the Socket housing, preferably the rear wall of the housing.
  • the fasteners do not claim this measure the outside of the pin portion of the rotating body still in its interior space.
  • the fasteners are arranged that they are with the contact pins of the fluorescent lamp do not come into contact. In other words, that Fastener is completely in one axial area arranged that the contact pins do not reach.
  • the fastener or fasteners outside of this Length are arranged.
  • the pin section thus has measured from the front plate to his for attachment serving end portion, a length that is greater than the length of the contact pins.
  • the pin section can be very be slim, without being too delicate.
  • the outside diameter of the pin is preferably somewhat less than the distance between the connecting surfaces pointing away from each other the connector pins from each other.
  • the The slot width is at least as large as the pin diameter. The difference between the two mentioned Sizes result in the permissible thickness of the legs of the pin section. By attaching the pin alone its front end section, the thickness of the Legs are sufficiently large.
  • the holding pin for the rotor is preferably on the Rear wall of the housing is formed. This opens up the possibility easy installation, especially when the retaining pin is designed as a locking pin.
  • the rotor has to then only inserted into the housing opening and with appropriate pressure can be locked in the rear wall. Moreover in this way it is possible to use the rotor as a means to hold together the housing parts. This in particular, if the disc-shaped front plate of the rotor overlaps the front wall of the rotor.
  • the fastener is trained with little or no play.
  • the latter is achieved by the distance between the outside the front wall of the housing and a correspondingly oriented one Bearing surface of the retaining pin is slightly larger than the distance, between the complementary surfaces of the rotor is measured. This clamps the rotor fastener the rotor with its front plate against the front wall of the housing.
  • the conical surfaces cause axial preload of the rotor in the housing inside.
  • the conical sections allow an improved Centering and storage of the rotor without - or almost without - axial play.
  • the bouncy designed locking lugs can be part of the front wall and reach into recesses that are in the front plate of the Are formed. Tolerance compensation and one Adjustment to the desired braking torque can be made by changing the height of the detents.
  • the version presented is relatively insensitive against manufacturing tolerances of the rotor.
  • the rotor is in the housing opening used, the inner edge leads cer opening the pin section on its outer surface so that it receives the desired shape and its legs are kept substantially parallel.
  • the guide device is formed by an arcuate rib, which is arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the rotor and formed a complementary groove.
  • the rib can Be part of the front shield while the groove is in the front wall can be molded.
  • the guide device works as a radial bearing and supports the halves of the front plate radially inwards and radially outwards.
  • Fig. 1 is a socket 1 for a fluorescent lamp 2 illustrates how it is schematized from FIG. 3 or Fig. 8 emerges.
  • the fluorescent lamp 2 has ends a base 3 with two contact pins 4, 5, which parallel and spaced apart from the base 3 extend.
  • the socket 1 has a housing 6, to which a front Housing part 7 and a rear housing part 8 belong.
  • the front housing part 7 has a substantially flat Front wall 9, while the lower housing part also has flat rear wall 11.
  • the housing parts 7, 8 enclose an interior in which, for example, from FIG. 3 or Fig. 4 visible contact springs 12, 14 are arranged. These serve to make electrical contact with the contact pins 4, 5 of the fluorescent lamp 2.
  • the housing parts 7, 8 have corresponding storage means in the form of projections, contact surfaces and the like on to store the contact springs 5, 14 stationary.
  • the contact springs 12, 14 are each on at least one Provide the end with at least one connecting means 15, 16, for example by a resilient contact tongue Formation of a spring plug contact is formed.
  • the connection means 15, 16 are in one of the housing parts 7, 8 provided provided insertion openings 17, 18 through which Push the stripped cable ends into the housing 6 are. Hold the housing parts 7, 8 in the correct position relative to each other To be able to, for example, 11 guide projections on the rear wall 19, 20 formed which the inner contour of the Housing part 7 are adapted and little play in the interior grasp when the housing parts 7, 8 assembled are.
  • the housing 6 has a housing opening in its front wall 9 22 on which for receiving a rotatable housing part, a so-called rotating body 23 or rotor is used.
  • the rotating body 23 has a disk-shaped front plate 24 on the outside of the lamp facing is essentially flat.
  • At the back it has a pin section 25 which, like FIG. 4 illustrated, in the assembled state up to the rear wall 11 extends.
  • the front plate 24 and the pin section 25 are penetrated by an insertion slot 26, the width is slightly larger than the diameter of each contact pin 4, 5. It extends over the diameter of the front plate 24 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
  • the insertion slot 26 sets through the outer edge of the upper housing part 7 and opens into an insertion opening 27. This is, as in particular Fig. 5 illustrates, essentially funnel-shaped formed and opens into the housing opening 22nd
  • the insertion slot 26 passes through the pin section 25 almost completely, but with the pin section 25 has its free end face an end portion 28, which separated the two from the insertion slot 26 Halves 25a, 25b (leg) of the pin portion 25 together combines.
  • the end section 28 has a coaxial the bearing opening 29 arranged on the pin section 25, whose free cross-section is slightly less than the width of the insertion slot 26.
  • the bearing opening 29 forms together with a retaining pin 31 formed on the housing part 8 a fastener 32 for the rotating body 23
  • the holding pin is preferably formed on the rear wall 11. He has one Head 33, whose diameter is larger than the free one Cross section of the bearing openings 29, but smaller than the width of the insertion slot 26. These ratios can be seen in particular from Fig. 4 - this illustrates also the chamfered (conical) edge of the head 33 and one pointing down towards the rear wall 11 funnel-shaped extension 34 of the bearing openings 29.
  • a the holding pin 31 and its head 33 penetrating slot 34 which the retaining pin 31 in resilient Legs 31a, 31b divided, is thus a locking means created that allows the rotating body 23 with to connect the housing part 8 latching.
  • the head 33 faces the rear wall 11 Side an annular surface 35, which as a contact surface for the end section 28 serves.
  • the position of the annular surface 35 and the end section 28 are dimensioned so that both bear against each other under tension when the rotating body sits in the closed housing 6 and his shield 24 on the front wall 9 abuts. Otherwise forms the fastener 32 an axially fixed, but rotatable bearing for the rotating body 23 on the rear housing part 8.
  • the rear wall 11 thus serves both for storing the rotating body (fastening means 32) as well as for mounting the contact springs 12, 14 (spring only 12 shown in Fig. 7). This makes it a particularly good one Precision in the spatial assignment of rotating bodies 23 and contact springs 12, 14 and thus a safe contact allows.
