Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for illuminating vehicles according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a device for illuminating vehicles which has a light source carrier with a receptacle for a light source, wherein the light source carrier has electrical contact elements for electrical connection to the light source on the one hand and for electrical connection with arranged on a rear wall of a housing electrical connections on the other hand, of which dissipate electrical leads to a remote electrical voltage source.
  • the electrical lines run within the housing from an electrical connection point in the region of an opening of the rear wall into which the light source carrier can be inserted to a arranged in a further opening of the rear wall central connector part, from which the incoming of the individual light sources lines to the remote electrical voltage source can be forwarded.
  • the electrical lines are mounted from an inner side of the housing in the region of the opening at contacting points.
  • the light source used in the light source carrier and contacted light source can be used together with the light source carrier from behind into the opening of the rear wall of the housing and then by rotating the light source carrier about its longitudinal axis in a locking position with simultaneous contacting of the connection elements of the light source carrier with terminal ends of the be spent electrical line.
  • a disadvantage of the known device that the cost of attaching electrical contact elements on the rear wall of the housing is relatively expensive. In addition to the provision of a central plug part in an opening of the rear wall contacting measures are necessary at a contact point in the region of the attached light source carrier. The assembly effort is thereby relatively large.
  • a device for illuminating vehicles with a light source and a light source carrier is known.
  • the light source carrier is detachably connected via an adapter to the rear wall of a housing.
  • the adapter has fasteners for mechanical connection to the light source carrier.
  • the adapter has contact elements, so that an electrical connection can be made on the one hand with contact elements of the light source carrier and on the other with connection ends of the electrical line, which is in communication with an electrical voltage source.
  • This device does not disclose a receiving groove in which a contact element for electrical connection with contact elements of the light source carrier can be arranged.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for illuminating vehicles, so that on the one hand a simple and secure contact connection of the light source is achieved in the region of the rear wall and that on the other hand, the assembly cost is reduced.
  • the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • an adapter is provided so that on the one hand a mechanical connection is provided on a rear wall of the housing.
  • the adapter is designed such that an electrical connection between the light source or the light source carrier and the electrical power lines leading to the remote location of the voltage source can be made bypassing contacting measures on the rear wall of the housing. In the electrical contacting thus takes place decoupling of the rear wall of the housing, so that the mounting of the light source is simplified to the rear wall of the housing.
  • the adapter represents a mechanical connecting element between the light source carrier and the housing.
  • Adapter can be provided as an intermediate for assembly. Together with the light source carrier, the adapter is inserted into the opening of the rear wall and mechanically connected to the same.
  • the adapter is annular and has at least two locking lugs with barbs, which engage behind the rear wall of the housing after insertion of the adapter into the opening. In this way, a secure positive connection between the adapter and the rear wall is ensured, which can only be solved in exceptional cases by bending the locking lugs in the transverse direction to the longitudinal axis of the light source carrier.
  • the assembly of the adapter takes place solely by a longitudinal movement of the same together with the light source carrier until the preferably oppositely arranged locking lugs engage behind the rear wall of the housing with their barbs.
  • the adapter has, on a rear side remote from the rear wall of the housing, a groove for receiving connection ends of the electrical lines (connection ends receiving groove), in which the connection ends of the electrical line are electrically connected to the contact elements of the adapter. The contacting of the terminal ends of the electrical line thus takes place in a defined and preferably by an axial collar to the outside covered area of the adapter. An accessibility the electrical contact elements from the outside is avoided, so that when changing the light source no unwanted short circuit can set negative effects on the on-board electronics.
  • the adapter has fastening means, by means of which the adapter is releasably connected to the light source carrier on the one hand and the rear wall of the housing on the other hand.
  • the light source can be removed only by removing the light source carrier, without the electrical lines would have to be changed in position.
  • the adapter can basically remain firmly in the opening of the rear wall and thus serves as an electrical and mechanical connection element for the light source carrier.
  • the fastening means of the adapter or the light source carrier are designed such that the holding force between the adapter and the rear wall is greater than the holding force between the adapter and the light source carrier. In this way, when changing the light source ensures that only the light source carrier is removed from the mounted position.
  • the adapter remains attached to the housing along with the electrical leads.
  • the light source carrier is hollow-cylindrical and has guide elements, by means of which the light source carrier can be inserted accurately into the adapter.
  • the light source carrier has resilient latching noses, which engage behind an annular wall of the adapter and thus produce a mechanical connection with the adapter.
  • the connection between the light source carrier and the adapter can be solved in a simple manner only by attacking a releasing force in the longitudinal direction.
  • the light source carrier By grasping a grip element of the light source carrier and exerting a corresponding force, the light source carrier can be removed in a user-friendly manner for changing the light source.
  • FIG. 1 shows a housing 1 for such a lighting device, which is pot-shaped in the region of light sources 2.
  • the housing 1 is completely covered to the outside by a preferably colored cover plate 3.
  • the housing 1 is mechanically connected by means of fastening elements 4 with a body part 5 of the vehicle.
  • an opening 6 is provided, in which the light source 2 is inserted.
  • the light source 2 is mounted in a light source carrier 7, which engages in an annular adapter 8 and is connected via the same with a rear wall 9 of the housing 1.
  • both the light source carrier 7 and the adapter 8 fastening means such that on the one hand the light source carrier 7 with the adapter 8 and on the other hand the adapter 8 with the rear wall 9 of the housing 1 is detachably connected.
  • the adapter 8 on opposite sides in each case a locking lug 10 which engage behind the rear wall 9 of the housing 1 with arranged at free ends barbs 11.
  • the locking lugs 10 are formed relatively rigid and have a transverse groove 12 in the transverse direction, whose width corresponds to the thickness of the rear wall 9 of the housing 1. In this way, a secure mechanical connection between the adapter 8 and the rear wall 9 is ensured, wherein unlocking of the connection can be made only by direct attack of a force at the end of the locking lug 10 in the transverse direction.
  • the adapter 8 serves not only as a mechanical connecting element between the light source carrier 7 and the rear wall 9 of the housing 1.
  • the adapter 8 also serves as Mull michsring for electrical connection of the light source 2 to a locally remote voltage source.
  • the adapter 8 on opposite sides of a Anschlußenden receiving groove 13 for receiving terminal ends of an electrical line 14 leading to the voltage source.
  • the receiving groove 13 is arranged along a ring cutout of the adapter 8 on a side facing away from the light source 2 of the adapter 8, so that the terminal ends and the electrical leads 14 extend outside of the cup-shaped housing 1.
  • the housing 1 is therefore advantageously free of electrical contacting means.
  • the terminal ends of the electrical line 14 are connected by crimping in the receiving groove 13 with electrical contact elements 15 of the adapter 8.
  • electrical contact elements 15 of the adapter 8 are protected to the outside, the receiving groove 13 on an axial collar 16 which covers the contact point and protects.
  • Each of the terminal ends of the electrical line 14 associated contact elements 15 of the adapter 8 are made of an electrically conductive and bendable material and extend from the contact point in the receiving groove 13 from an outer side 17 of the adapter 8 under deflection in the direction of mounting direction 18 by 180 ° on an inner side 19 of the adapter 8, on which a further contacting point is arranged.
  • the contact elements 15 are each clamped to the adapter 8.
  • the light source carrier 7 For electrical contacting of the light source carrier 7 with the respective contact elements 15 arranged on the inside 19 of the adapter 8, the light source carrier 7 has transversely acting contact springs 20 which lie opposite one another forming the outer edge of the light source carrier 7 in the region of the contacting points to form a bulbous or convex shape.
  • the spring force of the contact springs 20 is designed such that when mechanical connection between the light source carrier 7 and the adapter 8, a predetermined contacting force is exerted.
  • the contact springs 20 are each guided over inwardly folded contact strips 21 to an inner contacting point 22, in which after insertion of the light source 2 in a receptacle 23 of the light source carrier 7, an electrical connection to terminals of the light source 2 is made.
  • the light source carrier 7 For mechanically detachable connection of the light source carrier 7 with the adapter 8, the light source carrier 7 on opposite sides in the transverse direction to the same bendable locking lugs 24 which engage behind the inside 19 of the adapter 8 in the mounted state.
  • the preferably on opposite sides arranged in pairs locking lugs 24 not only have a Ein Industriesschräg Structure 25 which is tapered in the mounting direction 18 for facilitating insertion of the light source carrier 7 through the adapter 8.
  • a counter to the mounting direction 18 is tapered inclined surface 26 is provided a release of the light source carrier 7 from the frictional connection with the adapter 8 allows.
  • the inclined surface 26 forms an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the light source carrier 7, when attacking an unlocking against the mounting direction 18 is always a transverse force component, which is directed radially inward and causes pivoting of the locking lugs 24 inward. In this way, the light source carrier 7 can be unlocked and pushed out of the adapter 8.
  • the light source carrier 7 has guide elements 27, so that it with the exception of the locking lugs 24 fit through the annular adapter 8 with the Receptacle 23 can be inserted therethrough until a flange 28 of the light source carrier 7 abuts an annular surface 29 of the adapter 8. With engagement of the flange 28 to the annular surface 29 of the adapter 8, the latching of the latching lugs 24 takes place, so that a secure mechanical connection between the light source carrier 7 and the adapter 8 is made.
  • the light source 2 is inserted into the receptacle 23 of the light source carrier 7 before the light source carrier 7 is inserted into the adapter 8.
  • the light source carrier 7 is attached to a rear handle element 30 by a suitable handling device detected - this can also be done manually-, with the light source 2 inserted through the opening of the adapter 8 until it is latched to the same. Then, the unit formed by the light source carrier 7 and the adapter 8 is inserted in the mounting direction 18 in the opening of the rear wall 9 of the housing 1 until a locking of the adapter 8 by means of the locking lugs 10 with the rear wall 9 of the housing 1. The assembly is therefore carried out in a simple manner by moving the assembly in a longitudinal direction.
  • the adapter 8 could also be first inserted into the opening of the rear wall 9, after which the light source carrier 7 is inserted into the opening of the adapter 8.
  • the adapter 8 In order to ensure correct contact for insertion of the light source carrier 7 into the adapter 8, the adapter 8 has on the inside 19 opposite notches 31, which serve as confusion protection.
  • the light source 2 may be formed as a light bulb or light emitting diode.
