Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fassung für elektrische Betriebsmittel, insbesondere für Leuchtstofflampen.The invention relates to a socket for electrical Operating resources, especially for fluorescent lamps.

Leuchtstofflampen und andere stabförmige Lichtquellen werden gelegentlich in Leuchten eingebaut, in denen beengte Verhältnisse herrschen. Insbesondere wenn in geringem Abstand zu dem Leuchtmittel angeordnete Reflektoren vorhanden sind, ist der Zugang zum Leuchtmittel, wie er erforderlich ist, um dieses z.B. aus den Fassungen herauszunehmen, erschwert. Bei manchen Leuchtenkonstruktionen sind die an dem Leuchtmittel angeordneten Reflektoren so nahe an dem Leuchtmittel angeordnet, dass das Leuchtmittel von Hand weder gedreht noch radial bewegt werden kann. Fluorescent lamps and other rod-shaped light sources are occasionally installed in luminaires in which space is restricted Conditions prevail. Especially if at a short distance arranged to the illuminant reflectors are access to the illuminant as required is around this e.g. difficult to take out of the versions. With some luminaire constructions that are on the Bulbs arranged reflectors so close to that Illuminant arranged that the illuminant by hand can neither be rotated nor moved radially.

Dazu ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Fassung zu schaffen, die das Wechseln des Leuchtmittels auch bei solchen Leuchten gestattet, bei denen der Zugang zum Leuchtmittel eingeschränkt ist.To this end, it is an object of the invention to provide a version create the change of the lamp even with such Luminaires permitted where there is access to the illuminant is restricted.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Fassung nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a version according to claim 1 solved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Fassung weist ein Fassungsgehäuse mit wenigstens einem Kontaktelement zur Kontaktierung des Betriebsmittels auf. Die Fassung dient sowohl zur Halterung des Leuchtmittels als auch zur Bereitstellung seiner elektrischen Versorgung. An der Fassung ist eine Löseeinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der das Betriebsmittel aus seiner Arbeitsposition herausgeführt werden kann. Die Löseeinrichtung unterstützt somit das Herausführen des Betriebsmittels aus seiner Fassung. Sie ist mit einer manuellen Betätigungseinrichtung versehen. Diese ist an einer zugänglichen, von dem Leuchtmittel beabstandeten Stelle angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist die Betätigungseinrichtung dabei an der Seite der Fassung angeordnet, von der das Leuchtmittel in die Fassung einzusetzen ist. Die Betätigungseinrichtung wird beispielsweise durch einen profilierten Fortsatz gebildet, der als Handhabe dient. Dieser erstreckt sich vorzugsweise radial bezüglich einer Mittelachse eines stabförmigen Leuchtmittels von der Fassung weg. Dies ermöglicht einen guten Zugang zu der Betätigungseinrichtung und somit einen einfach zu bewerkstelligenden Wechsel des Leuchtmittels.The socket according to the invention has a socket housing with at least one contact element for contacting the Resources on. The socket serves as a holder of the lamp as well as to provide its electrical Care. There is a release device on the socket provided with which the equipment from its working position can be brought out. The release device thus supports the extraction of the equipment from his version. It is with a manual actuator Mistake. This is on an accessible, arranged from the lamp spaced point. Preferably the actuator is on the side arranged of the socket from which the lamp in the Socket is to be used. The actuator will for example formed by a profiled extension, that serves as a handle. This preferably extends radially with respect to a central axis of a rod-shaped Illuminant away from the socket. This enables one good access to the actuator and thus one easy to change the lamp.

Das Fassungsgehäuse ist vorzugsweise mit zwei Einführschlitzen für zwei Kontaktstifte des Betriebsmittels versehen, wobei das Leuchtmittel durch eine lineare, radiale Schiebebewegung in die Einführschlitze eingesetzt und in diesen verrastet wird. Vorzugsweise in dem Endbereich der Einführschlitze sind die Kontaktbereiche der Kontaktelemente angeordnet. Die Kontakte können zugleich als Rastmittel ausgebildet sein, um das Leuchtmittel in der Fassung zu halten. Alternativ können anderweitige Rastmittel, beispielsweise an dem Fassungsgehäuse ausgebildet sein.The socket housing is preferably with two insertion slots provided for two contact pins of the equipment, the illuminant being linear, radial Sliding movement inserted in the insertion slots and in this is locked. Preferably in the end area of the Insertion slots are the contact areas of the contact elements arranged. The contacts can also be used as locking devices be designed to the lamp in the socket hold. Alternatively, other locking means, for example be formed on the socket housing.

Die Länge der Einführschlitze ist vorzugsweise größer als die Summe aus dem Abstand der Kontaktstifte voneinander und der Länge des Endbereichs der Einführschlitze in dem sich die Kontaktelemente beziehungsweise deren Kontaktbereiche befinden. Damit wird eine elektrische Berührsicherheit beim Wechseln des Leuchtmittels erreicht.The length of the insertion slots is preferably greater than the sum of the distance between the contact pins and the length of the end portion of the insertion slots in the the contact elements or their contact areas are located. This creates an electrical touch safety reached when changing the lamp.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Fassung einen Gehäuseteil auf, der zwischen einer Arbeitsposition und einer Löseposition beweglich gelagert ist. Der Gehäuseteil bildet somit ein Löseelement, mit dem das Leuchtmittel aus seiner Arbeitsposition in seine Löseposition überführt, d.h. letztendlich aus der Fassung herausgehoben werden kann. Der bewegliche Gehäuseteil ist vorzugsweise der vordere, dem Leuchtmittel zugewandte Gehäuseteil, der an einem Rückenteil gelagert ist. Das Rückenteil trägt vorzugsweise die Kontaktelemente und ist ortsfest an einem Lampenträger zu befestigen.In a preferred embodiment, the socket a housing part on between a working position and a release position is movably mounted. The Housing part thus forms a release element with which the Illuminant from its working position to its release position transferred, i.e. ultimately lifted out of the frame can be. The movable housing part is preferred the front housing part facing the lamp, which is mounted on a back part. The back part preferably carries the contact elements and is stationary to attach a lamp holder.

An dem beweglichen Gehäuseteil ist zur manuellen Verschiebung desselben vorzugsweise ein Griffstück vorgesehen, das die Betätigungseinrichtung bildet. Bevorzugterweise ist das Griffstück zwischen beiden Einführschlitzen angeordnet und es erstreckt sich in die gleiche Richtung wie diese. Es ist hier gut zugänglich. Außerdem führt die Anordnung zwischen beiden Einführschlitzen zu einer symmetrischen Belastung beim Überführen aus der Arbeitsposition in die Löseposition, so dass sich die beiden Gehäuseteile nicht gegeneinander verklemmen oder verkanten.On the movable housing part is for manual displacement preferably provided with a handle, that forms the actuator. It is preferred the handle is arranged between the two insertion slots and it extends in the same direction as this. It is easily accessible here. The arrangement also leads between two insertion slots to a symmetrical load when transferring from the working position to the release position, so that the two housing parts are not against each other jam or tilt.

Dem vorderen verschiebbaren Gehäuseteil kann ein Rastmittel zugeordnet sein, das den Gehäuseteil in seiner Arbeitsposition verrastet. Es genügt eine relativ schwache Rastwirkung.The front displaceable housing part can have a locking means be assigned to the housing part in its working position locked. A relatively weak one is sufficient Detent action.

Das Gehäuseteil 9 ist ein vierseitig geschlossenes Teilgehäuse mit einer Vorderwand 37, zwei zueinander parallelen und sich rechtwinklig von der Vorderwand 37 weg nach hinten erstreckenden Seitenwänden 38, 39, die an einander gegenüber liegenden Kanten der Vorderwand 37 angeformt sind und mit einer oberen Abschlusswand 41. Die Abschlusswand 41 und die Vorderwand 37 sind von zwei zueinander parallelen Einführschlitzen 42, 43 durchsetzt. Der Abstand zwischen diesen ist nur geringfügig größer als die Breite der Mittelwand 26. An dem verbleibenden Steg 44 ist ein Rastvorsprung 45 angeformt, der der Rastvertiefung 27 zugeordnet ist. Die Einführschlitze 42, 43 enden etwa in der Mitte der Vorderwand 37, wobei die hier vorhandenen Endbereiche 46, 47 die Bereiche sind, hinter denen sich die Kontaktbereiche 31, 32 der Kontaktelemente 23, 24 befinden. Die Länge der Einführschlitze 42, 43 ist größer als der jeweilige Endbereich plus dem äußeren Stiftabstand der anzuschließenden Leuchtstofflampe. Um dies zu erreichen, sind die an der oberen Abschlusswand 41 befindlichen Mündungen der Einführschlitze 42, 43 durch angeformte Isolierfortsätze 48, 49 verlängert. Die Verlängerung der Einführschlitze 42, 43 bietet einen Berührungsschutz beim Einsetzen der Leuchtstofflampe in die Fassung.The housing part 9 is closed on four sides Partial housing with a front wall 37, two parallel to each other and at right angles away from the front wall 37 rearward extending side walls 38, 39 which are against each other molded on opposite edges of the front wall 37 are and with an upper end wall 41. The end wall 41 and the front wall 37 are of two to each other parallel insertion slots 42, 43 penetrated. The The distance between them is only slightly larger than that Width of the middle wall 26. There is 44 on the remaining web a locking projection 45 is formed, the locking recess 27th assigned. The insertion slots 42, 43 end approximately in the middle of the front wall 37, the ones present here End areas 46, 47 are the areas behind which the Contact areas 31, 32 of the contact elements 23, 24 are located. The length of the insertion slots 42, 43 is greater than that end area plus the outer pin spacing of the to be connected Fluorescent lamp. To achieve this are the mouths located on the upper end wall 41 the insertion slots 42, 43 by integrally formed insulation extensions 48, 49 extended. The extension of the insertion slots 42, 43 offers protection against contact when inserting the Fluorescent lamp in the socket.

Zwischen diesen erstreckt sich in Verlängerung des Stegs 44 ein flaches profiliertes Griffstück 51 in Schlitzlängsrichtung von dem Vorderteil 9 weg. Das Griffstück 51 dient als Handhabe um das Vorderteil 9 auf dem Rückenteil 11 verschieben zu können.Extending between them extends Web 44 a flat profiled handle 51 in the longitudinal direction of the slot away from the front part 9. The handle 51 serves as a handle around the front part 9 on the back part 11 to be able to move.

Die Lagerung des Gehäuseteils 9 an dem Rückenteil 11 ist aus Figur 8 ersichtlich. An den Innenseiten der Seitenwände 38, 39 sind Führungsrippen 52, 53 angeformt, die in die Rastmulden 33, 34 greifen und dadurch das Vorderteil 9 begrenzt verschiebbar an dem Rückenteil 11 lagern. Der Verschiebeweg ist dabei so groß, dass das untere jeweilige Ende 54, 55 (Figur 3), das in einer Endstellung des Gehäuseteils 9 die Rastmulde 33, 34 jedes Kontaktelements 23, 24 freigibt (Figur 3), völlig aus dem Kontaktbereich 31, 32 jedes in dem Rückenteil 11 ruhenden Kontaktelements 23, 24 heraus bewegt werden kann. Der Verschiebeweg des Gehäuseteils 9 ist somit größer als der Abstand der Rastmulde 33, 34 von der zum freien Ende hin benachbarten Rasterhebung.The mounting of the housing part 9 on the back part 11 can be seen from Figure 8. On the inside of the side walls 38, 39 guide ribs 52, 53 are formed, which in engage the locking troughs 33, 34 and thereby the front part 9 store to a limited extent on the back part 11. The displacement route is so big that the lower one End 54, 55 (Figure 3), which is in an end position of the housing part 9 the locking trough 33, 34 of each contact element 23, 24 releases (Figure 3), completely from the contact area 31, 32nd each contact element 23, 24 resting in the back part 11 can be moved out. The displacement of the housing part 9 is thus greater than the distance between the locking recess 33, 34 from the grid elevation adjacent to the free end.

Die insoweit beschriebene Fassung 6 bzw. 7 arbeitet wie folgt:The version 6 or 7 described so far works as follows:

Es wird angenommen, dass sich die Fassungen 6, 7 in der in Figur 3 veranschaulichten Position befinden und dass noch keine Leuchtstofflampe in die Fassung 6, 7 eingesetzt ist. Diese wird nun mit ihren beiden Kontaktstiften 2a, 2b (Figur 8) in die Einführschlitze 42, 43 eingesetzt und durch leichten Druck verrastet. Die Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b schnappen dabei in die Rastmulden 33, 34 der Kontaktelemente 23, 24. It is assumed that the versions 6, 7 in the position illustrated in Figure 3 and that no fluorescent lamp used in the version 6, 7 is. This is now with its two contact pins 2a, 2b (Figure 8) inserted into the insertion slots 42, 43 and locked by light pressure. The contact pins 2a, 2b snap into the recesses 33, 34 of the contact elements 23, 24.

Das Einsetzen der Leuchtstofflampe 2 in die Fassungen 6, 7 unterscheidet sich vom Ablauf her nicht wesentlich, wenn sich die Fassungen 6, 7 zunächst in der in Figur 4 veranschaulichten Position befinden. Nach dem Einsetzen der Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b der Leuchtstofflampe in die Einführschlitze 42, 43 drücken diese gegen die Endflächen 54, 55 und verschieben den Gehäuseteil 9 der Fassung 6 bzw. 7, bis sie in die Rastmulden 33, 34 einrasten.Inserting the fluorescent lamp 2 into the sockets 6, 7 does not differ significantly in terms of the process, if the sockets 6, 7 are initially in the position shown in FIG illustrated position. After inserting the Contact pins 2a, 2b of the fluorescent lamp in the insertion slots 42, 43 press them against the end faces 54, 55 and move the housing part 9 of the socket 6 and 7, respectively snap them into the recesses 33, 34.

In beiden Fällen ist die Leuchtstofflampe 2 nun sicher kontaktiert und gehalten. Die Leuchte 1 ist betriebsbereit.In both cases, the fluorescent lamp 2 is now safe contacted and held. The lamp 1 is ready for operation.

Soll die Leuchtstofflampe 2 nun zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt aus der Leuchte 1 entnommen werden, ist direkter Zugang zu der Leuchtstofflampe 2 nicht möglich. Der Reflektor 3 verhindert den manuellen Zugang zu der Leuchtstofflampe 2. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 6 veranschaulicht. Der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Reflektor 3 und der Leuchtstofflampe 2 ist zu eng, als dass die Leuchtstofflampe 2 von Hand aus den Fassungen 6, 7 herausgezogen werden könnte. Der Bediener kann die Leuchtstofflampe 2 jedoch aus der Fassung 6 herausführen, indem er das Griffstück 51 ergreift und in Griffstücklängsrichtung daran zieht. Die Fassung 6 wird dadurch in die in Figur 7 veranschaulichte Stellung überführt. Damit werden zugleich die Anschlussstifte der Leuchtstofflampe 2 aus den Rastmulden 33, 34 heraus geführt. Die Endflächen 54, 55 der Einführschlitze 42, 43 schieben die Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b über die an die Rastmulden 33, 34 grenzenden Erhebungen der Kontaktbereiche 31, 32. Die Leuchtstofflampe 2 ist dadurch von den Fassungen 6, 7 gelöst. Außerdem ist die Leuchtstofflampe 2 etwas aus dem Reflektor 3 heraus bewegt, wie Figur 7 veranschaulicht. Sie kann nun leicht entnommen werden. If the fluorescent lamp 2 is now to a later The time taken from light 1 is more direct Access to fluorescent lamp 2 not possible. The reflector 3 prevents manual access to the fluorescent lamp 2. This state is illustrated in Figure 6. The Space between the reflector 3 and the fluorescent lamp 2 is too narrow for the fluorescent lamp 2 from Hand could be pulled out of the sockets 6, 7. However, the operator can remove the fluorescent lamp 2 from the Guide socket 6 out by gripping handle 51 and pulls on it in the longitudinal direction of the handle. Version 6 is thereby in the position illustrated in Figure 7 transferred. This also connects the pins of the Fluorescent lamp 2 out of the locking recesses 33, 34. The end faces 54, 55 of the insertion slots 42, 43 push the contact pins 2a, 2b over the to the locking troughs 33, 34 adjacent surveys of the contact areas 31, 32. The fluorescent lamp 2 is thereby of the sockets 6, 7 solved. In addition, the fluorescent lamp 2 is something out of Reflector 3 moved out, as Figure 7 illustrates. she can now be easily removed.

Eine Fassung 6, die sich insbesondere für Leuchten eignet, die keinen direkten manuellen Zugang zu dem gesockelten Leuchtmittel gestatten, weist einen Schieber auf, mit dem der Lampensockel bzw. dessen Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b aus der Fassung herausgeschoben werden oder zumindest von der Fassung gelöst werden können. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Fassungsgehäuse 8 zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei der Gehäuseteil 9 als Schieber ausgebildet ist.A version 6, which is particularly for lights suitable that has no direct manual access to the socketed Allow illuminant has a slide, with which the lamp base or its contact pins 2a, 2b be pushed out of the frame or at least by the version can be solved. In a preferred one Embodiment, the socket housing 8 is formed in two parts, wherein the housing part 9 is designed as a slide is.
