Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ballast unit for Glow in light poles.
  • Light poles are often included Illuminants equipped like high pressure lamps.
  • High pressure lamps with white light for example lights with mercury vapor lamps
  • energy-saving lamps for example high pressure sodium vapor lamps, whose light has a higher percentage of yellow owns, converted.
  • Such a changeover is proportionate complex, if only because of the existing control gear must be dismantled.
  • the Wiring or cabling is relatively complicated uses the invention.
  • the invention has for its object a Ballast unit to create a simple and Functional conversion of the existing lamps against energy-saving lamps with lower output with equivalent luminous flux in faster and more economical Way.
  • ballast unit is realized due to of the tubular housing through a particularly slim Excellent design and therefore not difficult in light poles can be used.
  • a spatial Separation of the control gear from the respective luminaire the illuminant (lamp) instead.
  • the retrofit the lamp to another energy-saving lamp with lower power with equivalent luminous flux and thus easy on an energy-saving lamp with yellow light possible.
  • the existing operating devices do not have to do this be dismantled longer. You will only get out of the Circuit removed.
  • the ballast unit according to the invention can be directly related to the existing version connect. This ballast unit enables Construction of lights without additional space for the operating devices. Smaller lights can also be used in a simplified design while reducing the Realize wind load.
  • the invention Ballast unit unchanged also for recording of ballasts suitable for other illuminants, z.
  • the assembly can always be Mast braid done so that the control gear in are in close proximity to the respective luminaire.
  • the lower housing part and the upper housing part expediently as half shells made of plastic trained to achieve maximum use of space.
  • An embodiment made of metal or cast is also conceivable.
  • the lower housing part and the upper housing part screwed together, but also a clip connection is possible.
  • the screw sockets can be in bottom plastic molding of the lower housing part are located.
  • both have a circumferential edge Tongue / groove connection.
  • a sealing profile conceivable. - She sees further Invention before that the ribbing of the lower housing part in It consists essentially of longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs, which to the external shapes of the operating devices - as far as that is in question comes - have adjusted paragraphs. This will make one at least partially form-fitting accommodation and Fixing at least some operating devices in the housing achieved the ballast unit according to the invention.
  • the Operating devices are. preferably with front Bearing journal and / or bottom bearing journal or Bearing strips between the U-legs U-shaped Mounting ribs stored and fastened.
  • Ballasts are expediently by means of ends Elongated holes stored on trunnions in the lower housing part and attached.
  • the lower housing part has an end one ribbing each for supporting and fastening multipole, e.g. three-pole and four-pole conductor terminals on.
  • multipole e.g. three-pole and four-pole conductor terminals on.
  • the lower housing part over the Has housing length extending wiring channel, the between two longitudinal ribs or a longitudinal rib and the assigned housing wall is formed.
  • the lower housing part can at least at one housing end lugs with threaded bushes formed as fastening means have to attach a bracket.
  • the Housing cover has - if appropriate - one to the Ribs adapted to the external shape of installed control gear.
  • connection of the ballast unit according to the invention takes place via a conductor terminal.
  • the introduction of the Cable is made using an armored threaded screw connection.
  • a ballast unit for lights shown in light poles with a two-part Housing from lower housing part 1 and upper housing part 2, wherein the housing as a tubular housing for installation in Light poles is formed. At least the lower part of the housing 1 has a ribbing 3 for the assembly of operating devices 4 for a lamp (lamp).
  • Both Control gear 4 is according to the embodiment a ballast 5, a capacitor 6, a Ignitor 7 and a line switch 8. At least that Lower housing part 1 has (further) at both ends Cable entry 9a or one. Cable version 9b for the Wiring the control gear 4.
  • the control gear 4 are pre-wired with solid silicone wires on the Ribs 3 installed.
  • the lower housing part 1 also has Fastening means 10 on the end face for fastening the Housing in a light pole.
  • the lower housing part 1 and the upper housing part 2 are as Half shells made of plastic and together screwed.
  • the lower housing part 1 has a center Plastic projections 11 distributed over the length of the housing with screw sockets 12, while the upper housing part 2 with the screw sockets 12 aligned recesses 13 for the recessed mounting of fastening screws 14 having.
  • the lower housing part 1 and Upper housing part 2 has a tongue and groove connection running around the edge 15th
  • the ribbing 3 of the lower housing part 1 consists in Essentially consisting of longitudinal ribs 3a and transverse ribs 3b, which partly to the external shapes of the control gear 4 have adjusted paragraphs 16. Some of the control gear 4 are with front journal 17 between U legs of U-shaped mounting ribs 18 stored and attached. One of the operating devices, namely the ballast 5, is on by means of elongated holes 19 Bearing journals in the lower housing part 1 are adjustable and attached.
  • the lower housing part 1 also has at least one Housing end as fastening means 10 molded tabs with threaded bushes 23 for attaching a bracket.
  • the upper housing part 2 has one to the External shape of various operating devices 4 adapted Ribbing 24.
  • the ballast unit has a tubular profile 25 as a housing for installation in Light poles on.
  • the tubular profile 25 has on the inside Bearing ribs 26, which are according to the embodiment opposite and for the support and fixation an insertable mounting profile 27 for mounting the Operating devices 4 are provided for a lamp (lamp) are.
  • the operating devices 4 are on the mounting profile 27 wired mounted. With the mounting profile 27 it can be a metal or plastic bar.
  • Lids 28 are closed on both sides of the tubular profile 25 attach, e.g. B. to screw with the tubular profile 25.
  • the covers 28 have cable entries and / or Cable versions 9 for wiring and wiring the Control gear 4.
  • the covers 28 Fastening means 29 on the end face for fastening the tubular housing in light poles. With these Fasteners can be molded to in turn inserting threaded bushings 23 act to for example, to be able to attach a bracket.
