Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einbauleuchte für den Einbau in eine abgehängte Decke oder dergleichen nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a recessed luminaire for installation in a suspended ceiling or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.

Einbauleuchten dieser Art zum Einbau in eine abgehängte Decke, dünne Wand oder dergleichen sind in unterschiedlichen Ausgestaltungen bekannt. Sie besitzen einen Leuchtenkörper, der in eine Deckenöffnung von seinem rückseitigen Ende her eingeschoben werden kann. Dabei ist an der Lichtaustrittsöffnung des Leuchtenkörpers eine Verblendung vorgesehen, die über den äußeren Rand des Leuchtenkörpers vorsteht, so daß die Deckenöffnung verdeckt wird, und die außerdem auch einen Axialanschlag für die Leuchte beim Einbau bildet.Recessed luminaires of this type for installation in a suspended ceiling, thin wall or the like are known in different configurations. They have a lamp body that can be inserted into a ceiling opening from its rear end. In this case, a veneer is provided at the light exit opening of the lamp body, which protrudes beyond the outer edge of the lamp body, so that the ceiling opening is covered, and also forms an axial stop for the lamp during installation.

Die Fixierung der bekannten Einbauleuchten an der Decke erfolgt üblicherweise durch mehrere Doppelschenkelfedern, die entlang des Umfangs des Leuchtenkörpers angebracht sind und im montierten Zustand der Einbauleuchte die Dekke, in welcher sie montiert ist, unter elastischer Verformung hintergreifen und die Verblendung gegen die Dekkenvorderseite ziehen.The fixation of the known recessed lights on the ceiling is usually done by a plurality of double torsion springs, which are mounted along the circumference of the lamp body and engage in the mounted state of the recessed ceiling in which it is mounted, under elastic deformation and pull the veneer against the front of the Dekkenvorderseite.

Eine Einbauleuchte der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der FR-A-2 669 098 bekannt. Diese Einbauleuchte besitzt einen Leuchtenkörper, der in eine Öffnung einer Decke einsetzbar und durch Halteelemente an der Decke fixierbar ist, wobei der Leuchtenkörper eine Lichtaustrittsöffnung definiert, eine Lampenfassung für ein Leuchtmittel trägt und um die Lichtaustrittsöffnung herum eine nach außen abragende Verblendung aufweist. Dabei wird der Leuchtenkörper von einem die Verblendung aufweisenden und die Halteelemente tragenden Montagering und weiterhin einer die Lampenfassung tragenden Lichteinheit gebildet. Der Montagering und die Lichteinheit sind über einen Federring mit mehreren Federzungen, der einen Rand des Montagerings umgreift, klemmend miteinander verbunden, so daß der Montagering und die Lichteinheit ohne Werkzeuge montiert und demontiert werden können.A recessed luminaire of the type mentioned is known from FR-A-2 669 098. This recessed luminaire has a lamp body which can be inserted into an opening of a ceiling and fixed by retaining elements on the ceiling, wherein the lamp body defines a light exit opening, carries a lamp holder for a lamp and has around the light exit opening around an outwardly projecting facing. In this case, the lamp body is formed by a mounting ring having the mounting and supporting the holding elements and further comprising a light unit carrying the lamp holder. The mounting ring and the light unit are connected via a spring ring with a plurality of spring tongues, which surrounds an edge of the mounting ring, clamped together, so that the mounting ring and the light unit can be mounted and dismounted without tools.

Eine weitere Einbauleuchte aus dem Stand der Technik wird in der DE 199 54 735 offenbart. Darin wird die Befestigung einer Leuchte an einer abgehängten Decke an einem fest in der Decke eingebauten Montagering mittels eines zusätzlichen Ringes vorgeschlagen, der in den Montagering eingeklemmt wird und an dem sich die Leuchte abstützt, wobei die Klemmhalterung durch die Federwirkung zweier Bleche in radialer Richtung realisiert wird, durch die ein Noppen in jeweils eine Aussparung des zusätzlichen Ringes gedrückt wird.Another recessed luminaire from the prior art is disclosed in DE 199 54 735. Therein, the attachment of a lamp to a suspended ceiling on a built-in ceiling mounting ring is proposed by means of an additional ring which is clamped in the mounting ring and on which the lamp is supported, the clamp realized by the spring action of two sheets in the radial direction is pressed by a nubs in each case a recess of the additional ring.

Es wird zum Teil als nachteilig angesehen, daß sich die bekannten Einbauleuchten nur mit Aufwand umrüsten lassen. Wenn beispielsweise anstelle einer Einbauleuchte mit einem stehenden Leuchtmittel eine Einbauleuchte mit einem liegenden Leuchtmittel gewünscht wird, ist es erforderlich, die gesamte Einbauleuchte auszubauen.It is sometimes considered disadvantageous that the known recessed lights can be converted only with difficulty. If, for example, instead of a recessed luminaire with a stationary illuminant, a recessed luminaire with a horizontal illuminant is desired, it is necessary to remove the entire recessed luminaire.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Einbauleuchte der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß sie einfach umgerüstet werden kann.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a recessed light of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be easily converted.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die Überlegung zugrunde, die funktionellen Einheiten des Leuchtenkörpers in der Weise miteinander zu verbinden, daß der Montagering und die Lichteinheit auch bei montierter Einbauleuchte voneinander gelöst werden können. So kann die Lichteinheit im Falle eines Defekts oder für den Fall, daß anstelle eines stehenden Leuchtmittels ein liegendes Leuchtmittel gewünscht wird, ausgetauscht werden, ohne daß der Montagering entfernt zu werden braucht oder auch ein neuer Montagering in der jeweils gewünschten Farbe zu Verfügung stehen müßte, da dieser beibehalten werden kann. Schließlich können auch die Montageringe separat ausgewechselt werden, wenn sie durch Kratzer beschädigt sind oder eine andere Farbgebung gewünscht ist. Damit ist die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte aufgrund ihres modulartigen Aufbaus sehr flexibel in der Gestaltung und kann auf einfache Weise umgerüstet werdenThe invention is therefore based on the consideration to connect the functional units of the lamp body in such a way that the mounting ring and the light unit can be solved even when mounted downlight from each other. Thus, the light unit in the event of a defect or in the event that a lying light bulbs is desired instead of a standing light, be replaced without the mounting ring needs to be removed or a new mounting ring should be available in the desired color, because this can be maintained. Finally, the mounting rings can be replaced separately if they are damaged by scratches or another color is desired. Thus, the recessed luminaire according to the invention is very flexible in design and can be retrofitted in a simple manner due to its modular structure

Alternativ ist es natürlich auch möglich, die Ansatzelemente an dem Montagering und die Ausnehmungen sowie Federelemente an der Lichteinheit vorzusehen.Alternatively, it is of course also possible to provide the attachment elements on the mounting ring and the recesses and spring elements on the light unit.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung dieser Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Ansatzelemente als Gelenkbolzen ausgebildet sind, die eine Schwenkachse definieren, um welche die Lichteinheit gegenüber dem Montagering in den Ausnehmungen des Montagerings verschwenkbar ist. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, die Lichteinheit gezielt durch Verdrehung des Montagerings in der Deckenöffnung und Verschwenkung der Lichteinheit gegenüber dem Montagering auszurichten. Dabei sollte die Klemmkraft der Federelemente so gewählt sein, daß sich die Lichteinheit bequem verstellen läßt, jedoch eine selbständige Verstellung verhindert wird.In a further embodiment of this embodiment can be provided that the attachment elements are designed as hinge pins which define a pivot axis about which the light unit relative to the mounting ring in the recesses of the mounting ring is pivotable. This configuration allows the user to align the light unit targeted by rotation of the mounting ring in the ceiling opening and pivoting of the light unit relative to the mounting ring. The clamping force of the spring elements should be chosen so that the light unit can be easily adjusted, however, a self-adjustment is prevented.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein Filterhalterring vorgesehen, welcher in den Montagering einschiebbar von dessen Vorderseite her ist und an der Lichteinheit mittels eines Klemmechanismus lösbar fixiert werden kann. Zweckmäßigerweise ist dabei der Klemmechanismus in gleicher Weise ausgebildet wie der Klemmechanismus, über welchen der Montagering an der Lichteinheit fixiert ist. Konkret kann beispielsweise der Filterhalterring den Ansatzelementen der Lichteinheit entsprechende Ausnehmungen und Federelemente aufweisen, um die Ansatzelemente der Lichteinheit in den Ausnehmungen klemmend zu fixieren. Dabei sollte die Federkraft der am Filterring vorgesehenen Federelemente geringer sein als die Federkraft der am Montagering vorgesehenen Federelemente, so daß der Montagering beim Lösen des Filterhalterrings nicht ebenfalls von der Lichteinheit mit abgezogen wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, a filter holder ring is provided, which is inserted into the mounting ring from the front side and can be releasably fixed to the light unit by means of a clamping mechanism. Conveniently, the clamping mechanism is formed in the same manner as the clamping mechanism, via which the mounting ring is fixed to the light unit. Specifically, for example, the filter holder ring the recesses elements of the light unit corresponding recesses and spring elements have to fix the attachment elements of the light unit in the recesses clamping. The spring force of the filter ring provided on the spring elements should be less than the spring force of the mounting ring provided on the spring elements, so that the mounting ring when loosening the filter retaining ring is not also deducted from the light unit with.

With regard to further advantageous embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the dependent claims and the following description of an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawing shows
FIG. 1
an embodiment of a recessed luminaire according to the invention prior to fixing to a ceiling in a perspective exploded view and
FIG. 2
the recessed light of Figure 1 in front view.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Einbauleuchte 1 dargestellt, die in eine Öffnung einer nicht dargestellten abgehängten Decke, einer dünnen Wand oder dergleichen eingebaut werden kann. Die Einbauleuchte 1 besitzt einen Leuchtenkörper 2, der in die Deckenöffnung einsetzbar ist und von einer die Lichttechnik enthaltenden Lichteinheit 3 und einem Montagering 4 gebildet wird, die mittels eines Klemmechanismus lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Konkret umfaßt die Lichteinheit 3 einen Fassungsbügel 5 mit einer umgekehrt U-förmigen Grundform, der an seinem oberen zentralen Bereich eine Lampenfassung 6 für ein nicht dargestelltes, stehendes Leuchtmittel trägt. Unterhalb dieser Lampenfassung 6 ist an den freien Enden des Fassungsbügels 5 ein Reflektor 7 gehalten, der an seiner Oberseite eine Durchgangsöffnung 7a für das Leuchtmittel aufweist. Schließlich ist an der Oberseite des Fassungsbügels 5 ein Stecker 8 für die elektrische Versorgung vorgesehen.In Figures 1 and 2, a recessed light 1 is shown, which can be installed in an opening of a suspended ceiling, not shown, a thin wall or the like. The recessed luminaire 1 has a luminaire body 2 which can be inserted into the ceiling opening and is formed by a light unit 3 containing the lighting technology and a mounting ring 4, which are detachably connected together by means of a clamping mechanism. Specifically, the light unit 3 comprises a frame bracket 5 with an inverted U-shaped basic shape, which carries at its upper central region a lamp holder 6 for a not shown, standing light source. Below this lamp holder 6, a reflector 7 is held at the free ends of the mounting bracket 5, which has on its upper side a through opening 7a for the lamp. Finally, a plug 8 is provided for the electrical supply at the top of the mounting bracket 5.

Der Montagering 4 besitzt eine zylindrische Grundform mit einem Innendurchmesser, der so bemessen ist, daß der Reflektor 7 in den Montagering 4 eingreifen und die Lichteinheit 3 durch den Montagering 4 für eine separate Montage/Demontage geführt werden kann, und definiert an seiner Unterseite eine Lichtaustrittsöffnung 9, um welche herum der Montagering 4 eine flanschartig nach außen abragende Verblendung 10 trägt.The mounting ring 4 has a cylindrical basic shape with an inner diameter which is dimensioned so that the reflector 7 engage in the mounting ring 4 and the light unit 3 can be guided by the mounting ring 4 for a separate assembly / disassembly, and defines on its underside a light exit opening 9, around which the mounting ring 4 carries a flange-like outwardly facing facing 10.

Der Außendurchmesser des Montagerings 4 ist oberhalb der Verblendung 10 so gewählt, daß er in eine entsprechende runde Deckenöffnung eingesetzt werden kann, und zur Fixierung des Montagerings 4 an der Decke sind insgesamt zwei elastische Halteelemente 11 einander gegenüberliegend vorgesehen, die jeweils eine Anschlagplatte 12 und ein daran angebrachtes, blattfederartiges zungenelement 13 aufweisen, wobei die zungenelemente 13 im montierten zustand die Wand oder Decke, in welche die Einbauleuchte 1 eingebaut ist, hintergreifen und die Verblendung 10 gegen die Deckenvorderseite ziehen.The outer diameter of the mounting ring 4 is above the veneer 10 is selected so that it in a corresponding round ceiling opening can be used, and for fixing the mounting ring 4 on the ceiling a total of two elastic support members 11 are provided opposite each other, each having a stop plate 12 and attached thereto, leaf spring-like tongue element 13, wherein the tongue elements 13 in the assembled state, the wall or Cover, in which the recessed light 1 is installed, reach behind and pull the panel 10 against the ceiling front.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Einbauleuchte 1 rund ausgebildet. Eine andere Formgebung ist natürlich ebenso möglich. So kann die Einbauleuchte 1 mit Lichteinheit 3 und Montagering 4 auch eine rechteckige, quadratische oder ovale Form haben.In the illustrated embodiment, the recessed luminaire 1 is round. Of course, another design is also possible. Thus, the recessed luminaire 1 with light unit 3 and mounting ring 4 also have a rectangular, square or oval shape.

Zur lösbaren Verbindung der Lichteinheit 3 und des Montagerings 4 ist ein Klemmechanismus vorgesehen. Für die Bildung dieses Klemmechanismus sind an den freien Enden des Fassungsbügels 5 außenseitig zwei Gelenkbolzen 14 in koaxialer Anordnung angebracht, die mit zwei korrespondierenden Ausnehmungen 15, die mit 90° Versatz zu den Halteelementen 11 am Montagering 4 ausgebildet und zur Oberseite hin offen sind, eingebracht werden können. Zur klemmenden Fixierung der Gelenkbolzen 14 in den Ausnehmungen 15 sind um die Ausnehmungen 15 herum U-förmige Federelemente 16 mit nach oben gerichteter Öffnung angeordnet, welche beim Einsetzen der Gelenkbolzen 14 in die Ausnehmungen 15 elastisch aufgeweitet werden und die Gelenkbolzen 14 durch ihre elastische Rückstellkraft festklemmen. Die elastische Federkraft ist dabei so gewählt, daß die Lichteinheit 3 gegenüber dem Montagering 4 um die durch die Gelenkbolzen 14 gebildete Schwenkachse X verschwenkt werden kann. Damit wird eine lösbare Klemmverbindung zwischen der Lichteinheit 3 und dem Montagering 4 gebildet, welche eine Schwenkbewegung der Lichteinheit 3 gegenüber dem Montagering 4 um die Achse X zuläßt.For detachable connection of the light unit 3 and the mounting ring 4, a clamping mechanism is provided. For the formation of this clamping mechanism, two hinge pins 14 are externally mounted coaxially on the free ends of the mounting bracket 5, which are provided with two corresponding recesses 15, which are formed with 90 ° offset to the support members 11 on the mounting ring 4 and open to the top can be. For clamping fixation of the hinge pin 14 in the recesses 15 U-shaped spring elements 16 are arranged around the recesses 15 around with upward opening, which are elastically expanded when inserting the hinge pin 14 into the recesses 15 and clamp the hinge pin 14 by their elastic restoring force , The elastic spring force is chosen so that the light unit 3 can be pivoted relative to the mounting ring 4 about the pivot axis formed by the hinge pin 14 X. Thus, a releasable clamping connection between the light unit 3 and the mounting ring 4 is formed, which allows a pivoting movement of the light unit 3 relative to the mounting ring 4 about the axis X.

Zu der Einbauleuchte 1 gehört schließlich noch ein Filterhalterring 17, dessen Außendurchmesser so gewählt ist, daß er in den Montagering 4 von dessen Vorderseite her eingeschoben werden kann, und der in gleicher Weise wie der Montagering 4 zu den Gelenkbolzen 14 der Lichteinheit 3 korrespondierende Ausnehmungen 18 und diese umgebende Federelemente 19 aufweist, über welche der Federhalterring 17 lösbar mit den Gelenkbolzen 14 der Lichteinheit 3 verbunden werden kann. wie insbesondere in Figur 2 gut erkennbar ist, weisen die Gelenkbolzen 14 Bereiche unterschiedlichen Durchmessers auf, die den Ausnehmungen 15, 18 des Montagerings 4 und des Filterhalterrings 17 zugeordnet sind, um eine Führung zwischen der Lichteinheit 3 einerseits und dem Montagering 4 und dem Filterhaltering 17 andererseits zu gewährleisten. Dabei ist ein größerer Durchmesser auf die Ausnehmung 15 des Montagerings 4 und ein etwas kleinerer Durchmesser auf die Ausnehmung 18 des Filterhalterrings 17 abgestimmt.To the recessed light 1 finally includes a filter holder ring 17 whose outer diameter is selected so that it can be inserted into the mounting ring 4 from the front side, and in the same way as the mounting ring 4 to the hinge pin 14 of the light unit 3 corresponding recesses 18th and this surrounding spring elements 19, via which the spring retainer ring 17 can be detachably connected to the hinge pin 14 of the light unit 3. As can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. 2, the hinge pins 14 have regions of different diameters associated with the recesses 15, 18 of the mounting ring 4 and the filter holder ring 17, around a guide between the light unit 3 on the one hand and the mounting ring 4 and the filter retaining ring 17 on the other hand. In this case, a larger diameter is matched to the recess 15 of the mounting ring 4 and a slightly smaller diameter on the recess 18 of the filter holder ring 17.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte 1 läßt sich in einfacher Weise durch Zusammenstecken der Komponenten Lichteinheit 3, Montagering 4 und Filterhalterring 17 montieren und in umgekehrter Weise auch wieder demontieren. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird gewährleistet, daß auch bei in einer Wand, Decke oder dergleichen montierten Einbauleuchten der Montagering 4 und der Filterhalterring 17 separat gegen beispielsweise andersfarbige Bauteile ausgetauscht werden können, ohne daß auch die Lichteinheit 3 demontiert werden müßte. Ebenfalls kann die dargestellte Lichteinheit 3 mit einem stehenden Leuchtmittel in einfacher Weise gegen eine Lichteinheit 3 mit einem liegenden Leuchtmittel ausgetauscht werden, ohne daß der Montagering 4 und der Filterhalterring 17 ersetzt zu werden brauchen. Insbesondere ist es möglich, eine Lichteinheit 3 auszutauschen, ohne den Montagering 4 demontieren zu müssen. Es ist lediglich erforderlich, die Lichteinheit 3 von dem Montagering 4 zu lösen und durch den Montagering 4 aus der Decke zu nehmen. Damit wird ein einfaches und flexibles Umrüsten der Einbauleuchte 1 gewährleistet.The recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention can be mounted in a simple manner by plugging together the components of light unit 3, mounting ring 4 and filter holder ring 17 and disassemble in the opposite way. This configuration ensures that even when mounted in a wall, ceiling or the like recessed lights of the mounting ring 4 and the filter holder ring 17 can be exchanged separately against, for example, differently colored components without the light unit 3 would have to be dismantled. Also, the illustrated light unit 3 can be replaced with a standing light in a simple manner against a light unit 3 with a recessed light bulb without the mounting ring 4 and the filter holder ring 17 need to be replaced. In particular, it is possible to replace a light unit 3 without having to dismantle the mounting ring 4. It is only necessary to detach the light unit 3 from the mounting ring 4 and to take it out of the ceiling through the mounting ring 4. This ensures a simple and flexible conversion of the recessed luminaire 1.
