Elektrische Leuchten sind üblicherweise über Anschluss- oder Abzweigleitungen mit einer externen Versorgungsleitung verbunden. Die Anschlussleitung ist dabei über einen mehrpoligen elektrischen Anschlussverbinder an die Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen. Der Anschluss der Abzweigleitung an die Leuchte erfolgt üblicherweise dadurch, dass die externen Leitungen in einem ersten Arbeitsgang durch die Gehäusewand des Leuchtengehäuses hindurchgeführt werden müssen und die Leitungsenden der Anschlussleitung bzw. deren Leiterendhülsen vor Ort an die sich im Inneren des Gehäuses befindende Anschlussklemme angeschlossen werden.

The connection cable is connected to the supply line via a multi-pole electrical connection connector. The connection of the branch line to the lamp is usually carried out by the fact that the external lines must be passed through the housing wall of the lamp housing in a first operation and the line ends of the connecting cable or their Leiterendhülsen be connected locally to the located inside the housing terminal.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen besonders einfachen und schnellen Anschluss eines elektrischen Gerätes, insbesondere einer Leuchte, an eine elektrische Versorgungsleitung zu ermöglichen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Anschlusssystem nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.The invention has for its object to provide a particularly simple and fast connection of an electrical device, in particular a lamp, to an electrical supply line. This object is achieved by a connection system according to
Das erfindungsgemäße Anschlusssystem weist ein mit dem elektrischen Gerät verbundenes Steckerunterteil auf, das einen ersten Leiteranschluss zum Anschliessen einer Versorgungsleitung, einen zweiten Leiteranschluss zum Anschliessen einer Anschlussleitung, eine Anzahl von Montageelementen zur Halterung des Steckerunterteils an einer Montagefläche des elektrischen Gerätes, sowie einen dritten Leiteranschluss mit einer Anzahl von Steckerelementen zur Ausbildung einer elektrischen Verbindung mit einem Steckeroberteil zum Anschliessen einer Versorgungsleitung, und eine Anzahl von Verbindungs elementen zur Ausbildung einer mechanischen Verbindung mit einem Steckeroberteil umfasst.The connection system according to the invention has a connector base connected to the electrical device, which has a first conductor connection to the Connecting a supply line, a second conductor terminal for connecting a connecting line, a number of mounting elements for holding the plug base to a mounting surface of the electrical device, and a third conductor terminal with a number of connector elements to form an electrical connection to a connector shell for connecting a supply line, and a number of connection elements for forming a mechanical connection with a connector shell comprises.
Diesem Anschlusskonzept liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, ein elektrisches Gerät mit einer Anschlussvorrichtung in Form eines Steckerunterteils zu versehen, welche es erlaubt, zum Anschluss des Gerätes an eine elektrische Versorgungsleitung sowohl eine konventionelle Verdrahtung als auch eine moderne Steckverbindung vorzusehen.This connection concept is based on the consideration to provide an electrical device with a connection device in the form of a plug base, which allows to connect the device to an electrical supply line both a conventional wiring and a modern connector.
Für den Fall, dass das Gerät mittels einer konventionellen Anschlusstechnik an die Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen werden soll, ist ein erster Leiteranschluss vorgesehen, der eine eingehende Versorgungsleitung aufnimmt. Mit diesem ersten Leiteranschluss intern verdrahtet ist ein zweiter Leiteranschluss, an den eine Anschlussleitung zur Verbindung des Steckerunterteils mit dem elektrischen Verbraucher, beispielsweise ein Leuchtmittel, angeschlossen werden kann.In the event that the device is to be connected by means of a conventional connection technology to the supply line, a first conductor connection is provided which receives an incoming supply line. Internally wired to this first conductor connection is a second conductor connection, to which a connection line for connecting the connector base to the electrical load, for example a light source, can be connected.
Für den Fall, dass jedoch zum Anschliessen des elektrischen Gerätes keine herkömmliche Anschlusstechnik verwendet werden soll, ist ein weiterer Leiteranschluss zum Anschliessen einer Versorgungsleitung vorgesehen. Mit Hilfe dieses dritten Leiteranschlusses ist es möglich, das Steckerunterteil durch einfaches Aufstecken mit einem Steckeroberteil elektrisch zu verbinden, welches an eine Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen ist. Für diesen Fall weist das Steckerunterteil Verbindungselemente zur mechanischen Verbindung mit dem Steckeroberteil auf. Auch dieser dritte Leiteranschluss ist intern mit dem zweiten Leiteranschluss verdrahtet, so dass eine elektrische Verbindung dann zwischen der Versorgungsleitung und dem elektrischen Verbraucher sichergestellt wird.However, in the event that no conventional connection technology is to be used to connect the electrical device, a further conductor connection for connecting a supply line is provided. With the help of this third conductor connection, it is possible to electrically connect the plug base by simply plugging with a plug top, which is connected to a supply line. In this case, the plug base has connecting elements for mechanical connection with the plug top. This third conductor connection is also internally wired to the second conductor connection, so that an electrical connection is then ensured between the supply line and the electrical consumer.
Nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 2 umfasst der erste und/oder der zweite Leiteranschluss vorzugsweise Steckerelemente. Damit ist ein besonders schneller und, insbesondere bei Verwendung eines verstecksicheren Steckersystems, fehlerfreier Anschluss der Versorgungsleitung gewährleistet.According to the teaching of
Der Anschluss der Versorgungsleitung bzw. der Anschlussleitung am Steckerunterteil kann jedoch auch durch herkömmliche Kontakte hergestellt werden (Anspruch 3). Erfolgt das Anschliessen der zum elektrischen Verbraucher führenden Anschlussleitung an das Steckerunterteil durch einen Klemmkontakt, so handelt es sich dabei beispielsweise um Federklemmen oder Schneidklemmen. Durch den Einsatz derartiger Klemmkontakte lässt sich auch das Anschliessen der Anschlussleitung einfach und dennoch sicher durchführen.However, the connection of the supply line or the connection line to the plug base can also be produced by conventional contacts (claim 3). If the connection of the connecting line leading to the electrical consumer to the plug base is made by a terminal contact, these are, for example, spring terminals or insulation displacement terminals. Through the use of such terminal contacts, the connection of the connecting cable can be carried out easily and nevertheless safely.
Das Steckerunterteil ist mit Hilfe von Montageelementen am elektrischen Gerät gehalten. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Fixierung des Steckerunterteils im Inneren des Gerätegehäuses erfolgt. Steckerelemente des Steckerunterteils sind dabei vorteilhafterweise in einer Gehäuseöffnung in der Gehäusewand des elektrischen Geräts derart angeordnet, dass sie für die Steckerelemente des Steckeroberteils frei zugänglich sind. Vorzugsweise sind die Montageelemente somit zur Fixierung des Steckerunterteils an einer Gehäusewand ausgebildet. Insbesondere ist die Verwendung von Rastelementen in Form von Rastnasen vorteilhaft derart, dass die Rastnasen als Montageelemente am Steckerunterteil in entsprechende Rastausnehmungen an der Gehäusewand einrasten (Anspruch 4).The plug base is held by means of mounting elements on the electrical device. It is particularly advantageous if the fixation of the plug bottom part takes place inside the device housing. Plug elements of the plug base are advantageously arranged in a housing opening in the housing wall of the electrical device such that they are freely accessible to the plug elements of the plug shell. Preferably, the mounting elements are thus formed for fixing the plug base to a housing wall. In particular, the use of locking elements in the form of locking lugs is advantageously such that the locking lugs engage as mounting elements on the connector base in corresponding recesses on the housing wall (claim 4).
Die Steckerelemente des dritten Leiteranschlusses sind vorzugsweise Steckerbuchsen (Anspruch 5), so dass ein entsprechendes Steckerelement am zumeist leichten und beweglichen Steckeroberteil einfach in das am Gerät fixierte Steckerunterteil eingeführt werden kann.The plug elements of the third conductor connection are preferably plug sockets (claim 5), so that a corresponding plug element on the usually light and movable plug top part can simply be inserted into the plug bottom part fixed on the device.
Zur Ausbildung einer zusätzlichen mechanischen Sicherung weisen Steckeroberteil und -unterteil Verbindungselemente auf. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform wird dabei eine Rastverbindung ausgebildet. Zu diesem Zweck ist am Steckerunterteil eine entsprechende Rastausnehmung (Anspruch 6) vorgesehen. Es sind jedoch auch andere Schnapp- oder Rastverbindungen denkbar. Selbstverständlich können zusätzlich oder alternativ auch andere mechanische Sicherungen, beispielsweise Schraubverbindungen, verwendet werden. Verläuft das Verbindungselement des Steckeroberteils in Steckerquerrichtung, so ist, insbesondere bei einer in Steckerlängsrichtung verlaufender Versorgungsleitung, eine besonders einfache und unauffällige Montage möglich.To form an additional mechanical security plug top part and lower part have connecting elements. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a latching connection is formed. To this end At the bottom of the plug a corresponding recess (claim 6) is provided. However, there are also other snap or locking connections conceivable. Of course, in addition or alternatively, other mechanical security, such as screw, can be used. If the connecting element of the plug top part runs in the transverse direction of the plug, a particularly simple and unobtrusive mounting is possible, in particular in the case of a supply line extending in the plug longitudinal direction.
Als zusätzliche mechanische Sicherung weist das Steckerunterteil in einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine Aufnahmeöffnung auf (Anspruch 7). Diese dient zur Aufnahme eines entsprechenden Verbindungselements des Steckeroberteils und somit zur Ausbildung einer Sicherung sowie zur Ausbildung einer mechanischen Führung für das Verbinden von Steckerunterteil und Steckeroberteil.As an additional mechanical security, the plug lower part in a further embodiment of the invention has a receiving opening (claim 7). This serves to receive a corresponding connecting element of the connector shell and thus to form a fuse and to form a mechanical guide for connecting the plug base and plug shell.
Gemäß der Lehre des Anspruchs 8 ist das Steckerunterteil schließlich mit einem Steckeroberteil verbunden. Die Verbindung erfolgt durch eine Anzahl von Verbindungselementen (Anspruch 9). Wird vorteilhafterweise eine Rastverbindung ausgebildet, ist als Verbindungselement am Steckeroberteil ein Rasthaken (Anspruch 10) vorgesehen. Sollen andere Verbindungen ausgebidlet werden, können entsprechend auch Schnapp-, Rast- oder Schraubelemente verwendet werden. Als zusätzliche mechanische Sicherung weist das Steckeroberteil in einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung einen in Montagerichtung laufenden Führungsstift auf (Anspruch 11), der in einer entsprechenden Aufnahmeöffnung des Steckerunterteils in Montageendposition einen Presssitz ausbildet. Der Führungsstift dient dabei sowohl der Führung des Steckver-binderoberteils während der Montage als auch der Ausbildung einer sicheren mechanischen Verbindung in Montageendposition. Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen Steckeroberteil und -unterteil kann dabei lösbar oder unlösbar ausgestaltet sein. Bei einer unlösbaren Verbindung vereinfacht sich der mechanische Aufbau des Anschlusssystems, da keinerlei Öffnungsmechanismen vorgesehen werden müssen.According to the teaching of
Im einfachsten Fall besteht das Steckeroberteil aus einer einfachen Abdeckung, die die Steckerelemente des dritten Leiteranschlusses des Steckerunterteils nach aussen hin abschliessen (Anspruch 12). Eine solche Abdeckung ist vorteilhafterweise immer dann vorhanden, wenn das elektrische Gerät über den ersten Leiteranschluss mit einer Versorgungsleitung verbunden werden soll, da in diesem Fall der dritte Leiteranschluss nicht verwendet werden muss. Wird, wie in Anspruch 13 vorgeschlagen, jedoch ein Steckeroberteil verwendet, dass selbst einen weiteren Leiteranschluss aufweist, so ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verwirklicht. Danach ist es möglich, ein räumlich von dem anzuschliessenden elektrischen Gerät getrenntes Anschlussmodul in Form eines Steckeroberteils zur Verfügung zu stellen. Dieses Steckeroberteil kann somit unabhängig vom elektrischen Gerät bereits im Vorfeld der Installation an die Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen werden. Gleiches gilt für das im Gerät vorgesehene Steckerunterteil. Auch dieses kann bereits vor der eigentlichen Installation an die geräteinterne Anschlussleitung angeschlossen werden. Zum Anschliessen des elektrischen Gerätes an die Versorgungsleitung muss dann das Steckeroberteil lediglich in das Steckerunterteil eingeschoben werden. Mit dem Einschieben wird die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Steckeroberteil und Steckerunterteil und damit zwischen Versorgungsleitung und Anschlussleitung hergestellt. Zugleich wird Steckverbinderoberteil und Steckerunterteil mechanisch miteinander verbunden, so dass eine sichere Kontaktierung gewährleistet ist.In the simplest case, the upper part of the plug consists of a simple cover, which close off the plug elements of the third conductor connection of the plug bottom part towards the outside (claim 12). Such a cover is advantageously always present when the electrical device is to be connected via the first conductor connection to a supply line, since in this case the third conductor connection does not have to be used. If, however, as proposed in
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass das elektrische Gerät zum Anschliessen an eine Versorgungsleitung nicht mehr geöffnet werden muss. Beschädigungen o.ä. werden auf diese Weise von vornherein wirksam vermieden. Der manuelle Aufwand beim Anschliessen des elektrischen Gerätes ist äußerst gering. Insbesondere ist es bei dem Anschliessen von Leuchten vorteilhaft, dass keine aufwendige Überkopf-Montage erforderlich ist, bei der das Gewicht der Leuchte während des gesamten Zeitraums des Anschliessens getragen werden muss. Stattdessen kann das bereits vorkonfektionierte Steckeroberteil einfach und schnell in das am anzuschliessenden Gerät vorhandene Steckerunterteil eingesteckt werden. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Einsteck-Prinzip des Steckeroberteils in ein Steckerunterteil wird eine besonders einfache und äußerst schnelle Installation gewährleistet. Aufgrund dieser Vorteile ist eine erhebliche Verminderung der Montagekosten möglich.A significant advantage of this embodiment is that the electrical device for connection to a supply line does not have to be opened. Damage or similar be effectively avoided in this way from the outset. The manual effort when connecting the electrical device is extremely low. In particular, it is advantageous in the connection of lights, that no costly overhead mounting is required, in which the weight of the lamp during the entire period of Then must be worn. Instead, the already pre-assembled connector shell can be easily and quickly plugged into the existing connector to the device to be connected. The plug-in principle of the plug top part according to the invention in a plug base ensures a particularly simple and extremely fast installation. Due to these advantages, a significant reduction in assembly costs is possible.
Das Steckeroberteil ist vorteilhafterweise derart ausgebildet, dass der vierte Leiteranschluss den Anschluss der Versorgungsleitung in Steckerlängsrichtung ermöglicht. Dadurch wird eine äußerst geringe Bauhöhe des Anschlusssystems erreicht. Es ist daher insbesondere für eine Verwendung in engen Montageräumen bzw. für eine möglichst unauffällige Montage, beispielsweise an Decken geeignet.The plug top is advantageously designed such that the fourth conductor connection allows the connection of the supply line in the plug longitudinal direction. As a result, an extremely low overall height of the connection system is achieved. It is therefore particularly suitable for use in narrow mounting spaces or for an inconspicuous as possible installation, for example on ceilings.
Zum Anschliessen der Versorgungsleitung weist der vierte Leiteranschluss des Steckeroberteils vorzugsweise Steckkontakte auf (Anspruch 14). Hierdurch wird eine besonders einfache, schnelle und dennoch sichere Verdrahtung ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise wird dazu ein Steckersystem verwendet, das ein verwechselungsfreies Anschliessen sicherstellt. Der Leiteranschluss kann dabei einen einfachen Steckverbinder (Anspruch 15) bzw. einen Steckverteiler (Anspruch 16) umfassen, so dass die Versorgungsleitung sowohl als einfache Anschlussleitung und als Abzweigleitung, beispielsweise bei einem Leuchtenband, angeschlossen werden kann.For connecting the supply line, the fourth conductor connection of the plug upper part preferably has plug contacts (claim 14). This allows a particularly simple, fast and yet secure wiring. Preferably, a plug system is used to ensure a confusion-free connection. The conductor connection can in this case comprise a simple plug-in connector (claim 15) or a plug-in distributor (claim 16), so that the supply line can be connected both as a simple connection line and as a branch line, for example in the case of a lighting strip.
Selbstverständlich kann die Versorgungleitung am Steckeroberteil auch auf konventionelle Art und Weise angeschlossen werden. Hierzu weist der Leiteranschluss Klemm- und/oder Schraubkontakte auf (Anspruch 17). Besonders unkompliziert erfolgt der Anschluss der Versorgungsleitung, wenn Schneid-Klemm-Kontakte eingesetzt werden (Anspruch 18). Die einzelnen Leiter der Versorgungsleitung können dann ohne vorherige Abisolierung einfach in die entsprechenden Schneidklemmen eingedrückt werden.Of course, the supply line can be connected to the top of the plug in a conventional manner. For this purpose, the conductor connection on clamping and / or screw contacts (claim 17). Connection of the supply line is particularly uncomplicated when insulation displacement contacts are used (claim 18). The individual conductors of the supply line can then be pressed without previous stripping simply in the appropriate insulation displacement terminals.
Steckeroberteil und -unterteil weisen jeweils mindestens ein, vorzugsweise jedoch mehrere Steckerelemente zur Ausbildung der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen Steckeroberteil und -unterteil auf. Ist am Steckerunterteil eine Steckerbuchse vorgesehen, weist das Steckeroberteil als Steckerelement einen entsprechenden Steckerstift auf (Anspruch 19). Verläuft der Steckerstift in Steckerquerrichtung, so ist, insbesondere bei einer in Steckerlängsrichtung verlaufender Versorgungsleitung, eine besonders einfache und unauffällige Montage möglich.Plug upper part and lower part each have at least one, but preferably a plurality of plug elements for forming the electrical connection between the plug top and bottom part. If a plug socket is provided on the plug lower part, the plug upper part has a corresponding plug pin as plug element (claim 19). If the plug pin runs in the transverse direction of the plug, a particularly simple and unobtrusive mounting is possible, in particular in the case of a supply line extending in the plug longitudinal direction.
Nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 20 ist es darüber hinaus von Vorteil, wenn am Steckeroberteil eine Abdeckung vorgesehen ist, so dass sich am Steckeroberteil eine Art Gehäuse ergibt. Die Abdeckung dient zum einen als Schutz vor Umgebungseinflüssen. Zum anderen dient die Abdeckung als Zugentlastung, da sie die durch eine Leitungsöffnung in das Gehäuse geführte Versorgungsleitung im geschlossenen Zustand fixiert.According to the teaching of

Das Steckeroberteil 1 weist zwei in Bildebene hintereinander liegende Rasthaken 6 auf, die sich von der Unterseite 7 des Steckeroberteils 1 in Montagerichtung 5 erstrecken, wobei die Montagerichtung 5 im Ausführungsbeispiel der quer zur Steckerlängsrichtung 8 verlaufenden Steckerquerrichtung entspricht.The
Ebenfalls in Montagerichtung 5 erstrecken sich aus der Unterseite 7 des Steckverbinderoberteils 1 drei elektrisch leitende Steckerstifte 9 in Form von Flachsteckern. Auch diese Steckerstifte 9 sind in Bildebene hintereinander angeordnet. Zusätzlich weist das Steckeroberteil 1 zwei sich ebenfalls in Montagerichtung 5 erstreckende Führungsstifte 10 auf. Die Führungsstifte 10 werden an einer Stiftseite jeweils von einem in Steckerquerrichtung verlaufenden Stützelement 11 abgestützt, wodurch eine höhere Stabilität der mechanischen Verbindung erreicht wird.Also in mounting
Das Steckerunterteil 2 weist an seinen beiden gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen 12 Rastnasen 13 auf, die in Rastausnehmungen 14 der Gehäusewand 4 eingreifen. Zu diesem Zweck sind an der Gehäusewand 4 Haltezungen 15 ausgebogen, in denen die Rastausnehmungen 14 angeordnet sind. Zum Anschliessen der leuchteninternen Anschlussleitung an das Steckerunterteil 2 sind drei Klemmkontaktanschlüsse vorhanden. Die drei Leiter der Anschlussleitung werden somit jeweils in einem Klemmkontaktsystem kontaktiert. Dazu wird der jeweilige Leiter über die Anschlussbuchse 16 des Klemmkontakts in einen Klemmraum 17 geführt und dort über eine Klemmfeder gehalten. Mit Hilfe eines auf den Klemmkontakt wirkenden Schwenkhebel 18 kann der Leiter dann wieder gelöst werden. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nicht verwendet werden die Steckerbuchsen 40 des ersten Leiteranschlusses des Steckerunterteils, die zum Anschluss einer alternativen Versorgungsleitung dienen können.The
