Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a busbar system for lamps according to the preamble of claim 1 and a wire support member.
  • busbar systems and wire support elements are known from US-A-3,831,130.
  • Conductor rail systems or strip lights are used in a variety of forms, as they offer a high degree of flexibility in the individual planning of lighting structures for specific requirements compared to fixed or built-in luminaires.
  • the busbar systems consist of several individual elements, which are assembled according to the modular principle, so that the entire arrangement can be adapted to the premises to be illuminated.
  • the basic structure of a busbar system is formed by mounting rails, which are assembled to the desired structure and serve to hold the power supply and control lines and the individual lights.
  • the mounting rails must therefore have a high stability and are usually made of metal. They may have different shapes, for example, DIN rails with a Y-profile or an A-profile are known. However, the most widespread are U-shaped mounting rails, which with their middle leg on a support, e.g. a room ceiling or room wall are attached.
  • the individual lighting modules are attached, usually the length of a single mounting rail is a multiple of the length of the lighting modules. For example, mounting rails with a length of 3 m or 4.50 m are offered if the luminaire modules have a length of 1.50.
  • Such integer aspect ratios are chosen to simplify planning in designing a lighting system.
  • corresponding lines run on or within the mounting rails.
  • other lines for the transmission of control signals can be provided in addition to the lines for power supply, which opens up the possibility of individually controlling and dimming the individual lights when using a suitable control system.
  • the lines run in the form of a through-wiring within the U-shaped mounting rails, wherein in regular Distances that correspond to the length of the luminaire modules, Abgriffbuchsen are arranged.
  • the Abgriffbuchsen be clamped in the mounting rails, with undercuts engage behind corresponding projections of the mounting rails.
  • the luminaire modules can be mounted at the points specified by the tapping bushes by placing and fastening them on the support rails that are open at the bottom.
  • the contacting of the lines via a located on the lamp modules contacting element which has terminal contacts which engage when placing the lamp module on the mounting rail in openings of the pick-up bushing while contact with the corresponding wires in contact. Furthermore, the lighting modules on rotary knobs, which are rotated after placement, thereby ensuring a mechanical attachment to the mounting rails.
  • the luminaire modules can each be arranged only at the locations that are predetermined by the Abgriffbuchsen, otherwise no electrical contact is possible.
  • busbar systems were developed which have a Stromleitprofil held by the support rails.
  • This Stromleitprofil consists of elongated bodies of non-conductive material - usually plastic - extending in the longitudinal direction of the support rails and accessible from a contacting side grooves for receiving wires for the power supply and / or transmission of control signals.
  • a luminaire can be disposed at any position within that range, so that there is greater freedom in planning and realization of the lighting system ,
  • the length of a single Stromleitprofil body is tuned to the length of the mounting rail. Since support rails are offered in different lengths, it is thus necessary to offer Stromleitprofil body in the appropriate sizes, whereby the total cost of the busbar system can be increased, since a large number of parts must be provided. In addition, it is necessary when assembling two mounting rails to connect the two Stromleitprofile also together. This compound is problematic in that it must be ensured in this area that no accidental contact of a wire is possible. A corresponding standard requires that a 1mm-thick test wire in straight-line stretch can not hit one of the wires. The connection therefore takes place with the help of a so-called row connector, which, however, itself offers no possibility of contacting, which has the consequence that within the connection area between two support rails still no contacting possible.
  • the Stromleitprofil forming plastic body are produced by extrusion. This method is disadvantageous in that it allows plastic parts to be manufactured only with limited precision, since the plastic cools very quickly after leaving the extrusion die and changes its shape. This has the consequence that one-piece Stromleitprofil body can be made only to a certain complexity.
  • the object is achieved by a busbar system, which has the features of claim 1, or by a wire-holding element according to claim 14.
  • the busbar system is characterized in that the Stromleitprofil held by a single support rail consists of at least two adjoining wire support elements made of non-conductive material, which have the grooves for receiving the wires.
  • the wire support elements are in their end regions formed such that they overlap overlapping with each other when joining with projections located at their ends so that they form the grooves in the connection region between two wire-holding elements and open to the contacting side channels. These channels are accessible only from the contacting side, but otherwise as well as the grooves of the wire support elements enclosed, so that the aforementioned safety standard is met in these areas.
  • a continuous but secure contacting possibility is created over the entire length of a mounting rail away.
  • the Stromleitprofils of several individual wire holder elements Due to the modular joining of the Stromleitprofils of several individual wire holder elements, it is possible to offer mounting rails of different lengths, to use them with a Stromleitprofil only wire holder elements of a single length, since the Stromleitprofil only by changing the number of wire holder elements to the length of the mounting rail can be adapted. This results in a significantly lower production cost. Furthermore, no elongated and expensive be created to be produced one-piece plastic parts.
  • the wire-holding elements can be produced, for example, by means of the much easier-to-control and less expensive injection molding process.
  • the wire holder elements arranged one behind the other at a greater length have an expansion clearance, whereby it is still ensured that there is a possibility of contacting over the connection region and nevertheless contact protection is provided.
  • the wire support elements have at their ends locking elements which engage in the assembly of two wire-holding elements and limit a mutual displacement or distance in the longitudinal direction to a predetermined movement play.
  • the wire-retaining elements cool and contract, they move away to a predetermined maximum distance, which still provides protection against contact; when heated, they approach each other.
  • a continuous Stromleitprofil is formed independently of temperature.
  • the wire support members have a length of about 500 mm, wherein the allowed game, with which two adjacent wire support members can move against each other, about 8 mm, which is sufficient for the temperature differences usually occurring in the busbar system.
  • the locking elements also have the advantage that the wire support members can be hung together to form a rail, which can be inserted as a whole in the mounting rail, whereby the assembly is facilitated.
  • the wire support members on guide arms which engage in corresponding guide grooves which are provided on or in the support rail, so that the wire support members are securely stored.
  • the mounting rails may have, for example, an A-profile, a Y-profile or a U-profile, wherein the wire support members are arranged according to the profile on the outside of the support rail or within thereof.
  • the wire support members consist of two side wings, which have the grooves for receiving the wires and are to be arranged on the side walls, these side wings are connected to each other at regular intervals via connecting webs. These connecting webs are arranged on the middle leg of the wire rail.
  • one of the two side wings may have a parallel to the center leg of the support rail arranged horizontal leg, which forms together with protruding from the connecting webs retaining legs over the length of the support rail away an additional hollow or receiving space, which are used for receiving additional cables or lines can.
  • the inventive concept of a modular Stromleitprofils of a plurality of juxtaposed wire support elements provides the ability to realize over an arbitrary length across a continuous contacting possibility by the Stromleitprofil is used after the merger of the support rails in this.
  • the DIN rails are usually already assembled ready, i. sold with an already inserted Stromleitprofil with the wires arranged therein. This is because it is easier when creating a trunking system to assemble the already assembled mounting rails, as first add together empty mounting rails and then use the Stromleitprofile.
  • a further development of the invention therefore relates to a connecting element which also forms a contacting possibility at these interfaces.
  • the connecting element of the contacting side and the two end faces accessible groove-shaped recesses corresponding to the grooves of the Stromleitprofile, wherein in the recesses in each case a metal connector is used, to which the wires to be joined together from both sides can be connected.
  • This also consists of a non-conductive material connecting element closes the gap between the Stromleitprofilen two mounting rails and ensures that over the entire length of the busbar system away a luminaire module attached and to the lines of the Busbar system can be connected, since the metal connectors in the transition region form the contact surfaces for the terminal contacts of the lamp module.
  • the metal connectors preferably have an elongated contacting plate and U-shaped spring elements arranged at both ends thereof, by means of which the wires are clamped during insertion and pressed against the contacting plate. At the same time, it is ensured by the spring elements that the wires can not move in a pump-like manner during thermal expansion of the wire-holding elements and possibly even emigrate.
  • U-shaped mounting rails in which Stromleitprofile are arranged on both side walls, a mechanical connection of two adjacent mounting rails preferably by means of a short U-shaped connecting rail, which engages half in both mounting rails and at the side legs, the connecting elements are arranged.
  • the luminaire module has a contacting element with a plurality of terminal contacts, wherein the contacting element from the open side to introduce into the mounting rail and then partially - preferably by 45 ° - to twist.
  • the terminal contacts are inserted into the grooves of the Stromleitprofils and brought into contact with the wires.
  • the contacting element may preferably be designed such that at least one of the terminal contacts is adjustable in height. Since the arranged at different heights wires of the Stromleitprofils have different functions, an optional contact can be achieved by moving the terminal contacts.
