Die vorliegende Erfindung geht von einer gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches konzipierten Beleuchtungseinrichtung aus.The present invention is based on a designed according to the preamble of the main claim lighting device.

Derartige Beleuchtungseinrichtungen sind in der Regel dafür vorgesehen, innerhalb bzw. außerhalb von Gebäuden für die gezielte Ausleuchtung ihrer Umgebung bzw. für die Anleuchtung von direkt in ihrer Umgebung befindlicher Gegenstände und/oder für eine gezielte Einkoppelung von Licht in Gegenstände zu sorgen. Werden solche Beleuchtungseinrichtungen z. B. zum Einbau in Decken oder Fußböden verwand, ist zum problemlosen Einbau oftmals eine sehr kompakte Bauweise notwendig.Such lighting devices are usually intended to provide inside or outside of buildings for the targeted illumination of their environment or for the illumination of objects directly in their environment and / or for a targeted coupling of light into objects. If such lighting devices z. B. for installation in ceilings or floors, often a very compact design is necessary for easy installation.

Eine dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches entsprechende Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist durch die US 5,388,035 bekannt geworden. Bei dieser Beleuchtungseinrichtung sind mehrere, an das Versorgungsnetz anschließbare, als LED ausgebildete Leuchtmittel auf einer Leiterplatte angeordnet. Die Leiterplatte ist von einem, einen gezielten Lichtaustritt ermöglichenden Gehäuse umgeben, wobei das Gehäuse zumindest aus einem die Leiterplatte aufnehmenden, eine Durchführöffnung für die Anschlusskabel aufweisenden hutartigen Zwischenteil und einem, den gezielten Lichtaustritt ermöglichenden Deckelteil besteht.A the preamble of the main claim corresponding lighting device is characterized by the US 5,388,035 known.

The circuit board is surrounded by a, a targeted light outlet enabling housing, the housing consists of at least one of the circuit board receiving, a passage opening for the connecting cable having hat-like intermediate part and, the targeted light emission enabling cover part.

Des Weiteren ist durch die DE 100 26 661 A1 eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung bekannt geworden, bei der mehrere Leuchtmittel auf einer, an das Versorgungsnetz anschließbaren Leiterplatte angeordnet sind. Die Leiterplatte ist von einem, einen gezielten Lichtaustritt ermöglichenden Gehäuse umgeben, welches die Leuchtmittel vor aggressiven Umgebungsbedingungen, wie z. B. Feuchtigkeit, Staub, mechanischen Belastungen usw. wirkungsvoll schützt.Furthermore, by the DE 100 26 661 A1 a lighting device has become known in which a plurality of lamps are arranged on a connectable to the power supply circuit board. The circuit board is surrounded by a, a targeted light emission enabling housing, which protects the bulbs from aggressive environmental conditions such. As moisture, dust, mechanical stress, etc. effectively protects.

Derartig ausgebildete Beleuchtungseinrichtungen bauen jedoch vergleichsweise groß, was insbesondere beim Einbau in Decken und Fußböden von Gebäuden hinderlich sein kann.Such trained lighting devices, however, build comparatively large, which can be a hindrance especially when installed in ceilings and floors of buildings.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung zu schaffen, dessen Gehäuse die Funktionselemente sicher geschützt vor aggressiven Umgebungsbedingungen bzw. den zu erwartenden mechanische Belastungen aufnimmt und dabei besonders kompakt ausgeführt ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a lighting device whose housing safely protects the functional elements against aggressive environmental conditions or the expected mechanical loads and is designed to be particularly compact.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Bei einer solchermaßen ausgebildeten Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist besonders vorteilhaft, dass sich eine solche Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf preisgünstige Art und Weise herstellen und problemlos, sowie formschön in seine Umgebung, wie Decken, Fußböden und Wände integrieren lässt.This object is achieved by the features specified in the main claim. In such a trained lighting device is particularly advantageous that can produce such a lighting device in a cost effective manner and can be easily, and beautifully integrated into its environment, such as ceilings, floors and walls.

Wie aus den Figuren hervorgeht, besteht eine solche Beleuchtungseinrichtung hauptsächlich aus einer die Leuchtmittel 1 aufweisenden Leiterplatte 2, welche schützend von einem Gehäuse umgeben ist.As can be seen from the figures, such a lighting device mainly consists of a light-emitting device 1 having printed circuit board 2, which is protectively surrounded by a housing.

Wie des weiteren aus den Figuren hervorgeht, besteht das Gehäuse im Wesentlichen aus einem den Außenkörper bildenden Grundteil 3, einem die Leiterplatte 2 aufnehmenden, eine Durchführöffnung 4 für die Anschlusskabel 5 aufweisenden, hutartig ausgebildeten Zwischenteil 6 und einem den gezielten Lichtaustritt ermöglichenden Deckelteil 7, sowie einem daran festgelegten ringförmigen Blendenteil 8.As is further apparent from the figures, the housing essentially consists of a body forming the outer body 3, a circuit board 2 receiving, a through opening 4 for the connection cable 5 having hat-shaped intermediate part 6 and a targeted light emission enabling cover part 7, and an annular aperture part 8 fixed thereto.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, ist die Leiterplatte 2 hufeisenförmig ausgebildet, so dass für die beiden Anschlusskabel 5 platzsparend ein Aufnahme- bzw. Durchführraum gebildet ist. Die Leiterplatte 2 ist mit drei als LED ausgeführten Leuchtmitteln 1 bestückt. Die drei Leuchtmittel 1 strahlen Licht in den Farben rot, grün und blau ab. Außerdem ist auf der Leiterplatte 2 eine -der Einfachheit halber nicht dargestellte- elektronische Steuereinrichtung zur gezielten Ansteuerung der als LED ausgebildeten Leuchtmittel 1 vorhanden. So können auf einfache Art und Weise z. B. beliebige Mischfarben, Lichteffekte usw. erzeugt werden. Um dauerhaft eine sichere Kontaktierung der beiden Anschlusskabel 5 mit der Leiterplatte 2 zu gewährleisten, werden diese zugentlastend mit dem Zwischenteil 6 verklebt.As in particular from Fig. 1 As can be seen, the circuit board 2 is formed horseshoe-shaped, so that a receiving or lead-in space is formed to save space for the two connection cable 5. The circuit board 2 is equipped with three designed as LED bulbs 1. The three bulbs 1 emit light in the colors red, green and blue. In addition, on the circuit board 2 a -for simplicity not shown- electronic control device for targeted control of the LED designed as a light source 1 is present. So can in a simple way z. B. any mixed colors, lighting effects, etc. are generated. In order to permanently ensure a secure contact of the two connection cables 5 with the circuit board 2, these are glued zugentlastend with the intermediate part 6.

Wie des weiteren insbesondere aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 hervorgeht, stützt sich nach der kompletten Montage der Beleuchtungseinrichtung das Zwischenteil 6 mit seinem Boden an Begrenzungslaschen 10 ab, die an den Boden des Grundteils 3 angeformt sind. Die Leiterplatte 2 wird von einer Ringnut 11 des Zwischenteiles 6 aufgenommen, wobei die beiden Anschlusskabel 5 durch die Durchführöffnung 4 nach außen geführt sind. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1, Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 hervorgeht, stützt sich das Deckelteil 7 mit seinem äußeren Randbereich 12 an der äußeren Ringfläche 13 des Zwischenteils 6 ab. Außerdem kommt dieses mit seinem angeformten Einkoppelring 14 auf der Erhebung 15 des Zwischenteils 6 zur Anlage. Ein angeformter Kragen 16 kommt außerdem formschlüssig an der Innenwandung 17 des Zwischenteils 6 zur Anlage. Zur platzsparenden Aufnahme der drei als LED ausgebildeten Leuchtmittel 1 sind drei Aufnahmekammern 18 in die Unterseite des Deckelteils 7 eingeformt. Die drei als LED ausgeführten Leuchtmittel 1 strahlen ihr Licht seitlich ab, so dass eine gute Einkopplung des abgestrahlten Lichts über den Einkoppelring 14 in das Deckelteil 7 gewährleistet ist. Die gezielte Auskopplung des Lichts erfolgt über einen beliebig zu gestaltenden Auskoppelbereich 19 des Deckelteils 7, wobei das Blendenteil 8 entsprechend der Form des Auskoppelbereiches 19 zu gestalten ist. In dem vorliegenden Fall, ist deshalb das Blendenteil 8 ringförmig ausgebildet. Auf einfache und preisgünstige Art und Weise ist somit eine besonders kompakt bauende, formschöne Beleuchtungseinrichtung realisiert, wobei das besonders stabil ausgeführte Gehäuse die empfindlichen Bauteile gut vor den im Gebrauch zu erwartenden Belastungen bzw. aggressiven Umgebungsbedingungen schützt.As further in particular from Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 shows, after the complete installation of the lighting device, the intermediate part 6 is supported with its bottom on limiting tabs 10, which are integrally formed on the bottom of the base part 3. The printed circuit board 2 is received by an annular groove 11 of the intermediate part 6, wherein the two connecting cables 5 are guided through the passage opening 4 to the outside. As in particular from Fig. 1 . Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 shows, the lid part 7 is supported with its outer edge region 12 on the outer annular surface 13 of the intermediate part 6 from. In addition, this comes with his molded coupling ring 14 on the survey 15 of the intermediate part 6 to the plant. An integrally formed collar 16 also comes positively to the inner wall 17 of the intermediate part 6 to the plant. For space-saving recording of the three designed as LED bulbs 1 three receiving chambers 18 are formed in the bottom of the lid part 7. The three lamps 1 designed as LED emit their light laterally, so that a good coupling of the radiated light over the coupling ring 14 into the cover part 7 is ensured. The targeted decoupling of the light takes place via an outcoupling region 19 of the cover part 7, which can be shaped as desired, wherein the screen part 8 is to be designed in accordance with the shape of the decoupling region 19. In the present case, therefore, the diaphragm part 8 is annular. In a simple and inexpensive way, therefore, a particularly compact, shapely lighting device is realized, the particularly sturdy housing protects the sensitive components well before the expected in use loads or aggressive environmental conditions.

Um insbesondere den Funktionsanforderungen bzw. Belastungen als Einbauleuchte in Böden, wie Parkett, Teppich, Laminat usw. sowie in Decken und Wänden bzw. eben so gut auch als Aufbauleuchte zu genügen, ist das Grundteil 3 aus oberflächenveredelten Metall, das Zwischenteil 6 und das Blendenteil 8 aus lichtundurchlässigem Kunststoff, sowie das Deckelteil 7 insgesamt aus lichtdurchlässigem Kunststoff hergestellt.In order to meet in particular the functional requirements or loads as recessed luminaire in floors, such as parquet, carpet, laminate, etc. as well as in ceilings and walls or as a surface-mounted luminaire, the base part 3 is made of surface-treated metal, the intermediate part 6 and the panel part 8 made of opaque plastic, as well as the cover part 7 made entirely of translucent plastic.

Die beiden Begrenzungslaschen 10 des Grundteils 3 sind durch zwei gegenüberliegend angeordnete Ausnehmungen 20 voneinander getrennt. Die Größe der beiden Ausnehmungen 20 sind dabei jeweils so bemessen, dass beim Einbauvorgang der Beleuchtungseinrichtung am vorgesehenen Einbauort die aus dem Zwischenteil 6, der Leiterplatte 2 und dem Deckelteil 7 bestehende Baugruppe mit den beiden angeschlossenen Anschlusskabel 5 von unten durch das Gehäuseteil 3 hindurchgeführt werden kann, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 hervorgeht.The two boundary tabs 10 of the base 3 are separated by two oppositely disposed recesses 20 from each other. The size of the two recesses 20 are each dimensioned so that during the installation process of the lighting device at the intended installation the existing from the intermediate part 6, the circuit board 2 and the cover part 7 assembly with the two connected connection cable 5 can be passed through the housing part 3 from below , in particular from Fig. 5 evident.
