Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stromschienenanordnung für Niedervoltlampen mit als Stromphasen dienenden elektrischen Leitern, die durch einen Isolator voneinander getrennt sind.The invention relates to a busbar arrangement for low-voltage lamps serving as current-phase electrical conductors passing through an insulator are separated from each other.

Niedervoltstromleitungen bilden die stromführende Baugruppe eines Systems, welches je nach Anzahl und Art seine Zubehörs aus mehreren Stromverbrauchern und gegebenenfalls einem Transformator besteht, der die Netzspannung in den Niedervoltbereich transformiert. Herkömmlicherweise werden derartige Systeme mit Niedervolt-Halogenleuchten oder -strahlern betrieben. Sie werden über große Flächen, z. B. raumdeckend verlegt, um den Raum selbst oder bestimmte Gegenstände im Raum auszuleuchten.Low-voltage power lines form the current-carrying module of a system, which depending on the number and type of its accessories from several Electricity consumers and possibly a transformer, the Mains voltage transformed into the low voltage range. traditionally, Such systems are with low-voltage halogen lamps or radiators operated. They are over large areas, z. B. laid covering the area to the Room itself or to illuminate certain objects in the room.

Die die Stromphasen eines derartigen Systems bildenden Leiter sind elektrisch durch einen Isolator getrennt, bilden jedoch meist durch ihre Befestigung auf dem Isolator mit diesem einen Materialverbund. Dieser Materialverbund hat regelmäßig auch tragende Funktionen.The conductors forming the current phases of such a system are electrical separated by an insulator, but mostly form by their attachment the insulator with this one composite material. This composite material has regularly also supporting functions.

Halogenstrahler eignen sich hervorragend für die punktuelle Ausleuchtung von Objekten, beispielsweise in Geschäftsräumen oder Ausstellungen. Andererseits sind Halogenleuchten für die Raumbeleuchtung ineffizient, zum einen wegen der starken Begrenzung des Leuchtfeldes, zum anderen wegen der, im Vergleich zu anderen Leuchtmitteln, geringen Lichtausbeute. Halogen spotlights are ideal for the selective illumination of Objects, for example in business premises or exhibitions. on the other hand halogen lamps are inefficient for room lighting, for one thing the strong limitation of the light field, on the other hand because of, in the Compared to other bulbs, low light output.

Leuchtdioden - auch Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) genannt - bestehen aus mehreren Schichten von halbleitendem Material, welches den elektrischen Strom nach dem Prinzip einer umgekehrten Solarzelle direkt in Licht umwandelt. Fließt ein elektrischer Strom, wird in einer der Schichten (der sogenannten aktiven Schicht) Licht erzeugt. Die Farbe des Lichts hängt vom verwendeten Material ab. Im Gegensatz zu Glühlampen senden LEDs kein ganzes Spektrum von verschiedenen Wellenlängen aus, sondern emittieren das Licht in einer bestimmten Farbe. Durch Luminenzwandler ist es jedoch möglich, auch weißes Licht mit Leuchtdioden zu erzeugen.Light-emitting diodes - also called Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) - consist of several layers of semiconductive material which is the electrical Electricity converted directly into light according to the principle of an inverted solar cell. If an electric current flows, one of the layers (the so-called active layer) generates light. The color of the light depends on the used Material off. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs do not transmit a full spectrum of different wavelengths, but emit the light in one certain color. By Luminenzwandler, however, it is possible, even white To generate light with LEDs.

Aufgrund ihres hohen Wirkungsgrades und ihrer geringen Richtwirkung sind Leuchtdioden hervorragend zum Ausleuchten von Flächen und Räumen geeignet.Due to their high efficiency and their low directivity are Light-emitting diodes excellent for illuminating surfaces and rooms suitable.

Herkömmliche Stromschienensysteme sind eher filigran ausgebildet, auch deshalb, weil sie an den jeweils herrschenden räumlichen Gegebenheiten leicht anpaßbar sein müssen. Die Tragfähigkeit dieser Systeme wird dabei häufig der Flexibilität geopfert. Andererseits ist es wünschenswert, über Systeme zu verfügen, die in ihrer Tragkraft verbessert sind und insbesondere eine Vielzahl von Verbrauchern aufnehmen und versorgen können.Conventional busbar systems are rather filigree, too because they are light in the prevailing spatial conditions have to be adaptable. The sustainability of these systems is often the Flexibility sacrificed. On the other hand, it is desirable to use systems have improved in their carrying capacity and in particular a variety of consumers can take and provide.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Stromschienenanordnung für Niedervoltlampen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die über eine hohe Tragfähigkeit verfügt, die ohne weiteres auch zur Anbringung von zusätzlichen Leuchtdioden herangezogen werden kann und deshalb gleichzeitig zur Raumausleuchtung und zur punktuellen Ausleuchtung geeignet ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a busbar arrangement for Low-voltage lamps to provide that have a high load capacity which also readily allows the attachment of additional light-emitting diodes can be used and therefore at the same time for room lighting and is suitable for spot illumination.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung, ausgehend von einer Stromschienenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art vor, daß die elektrischen Leiter als vorzugsweise übereinander angeordnete Leiterschienen ausgebildet sind, von denen eine als Tragprofil dient, und daß die Anordnung mehrere Leuchtdioden aufweist.To solve this problem, the invention proposes starting from a Busbar arrangement of the type mentioned above, that the electrical Ladder formed as preferably superimposed conductor rails are, one of which serves as a support profile, and that the arrangement several Having light-emitting diodes.

Die erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnung hat den Vorteil, daß sie gleichzeitig Halogenstrahler und LEDs aufnehmen und versorgen kann. Beide Beleuchtungssysteme beruhen auf dem Niedervoltprinzip. Es ist daher möglich, einen einheitlichen Transformator einzusetzen. Da Halogenstrahler mit Wechsel- sowie mit Gleichstrom betrieben werden können, LEDs jedoch nur mit Gleichstrom ist es - zumindest für die Versorgung der LEDs - erforderlich, einen Gleichrichter einzusetzen. Zweckmäßigerweise wird aber das gesamte erfindungsgemäße Stromschienensystem mit Gleichstrom betrieben.The conductor rail arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that it at the same time can receive and supply halogen lamps and LEDs. Both Lighting systems are based on the low-voltage principle. It is therefore possible to use a single transformer. Because halogen spotlights with Can be operated with AC and DC, but LEDs only with DC is required - at least for the supply of LEDs - to use a rectifier. Appropriately, but the entire Busbar system according to the invention operated with direct current.

Die Halogenstrahler sind auf herkömmliche Weise an die elektrischen Leiterschienen angeschlossen. Sie können fest installiert oder beweglich dort angeklemmt sein, wo gerade eine punktförmige Ausleuchtung benötigt wird. Die in der erfindungsgemäßen Stromschienenanordnung vorgesehenen LEDs sind fest installiert, wobei sie zweckmäßigerweise über eine eigene Stromversorgung verfügen. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß eine Schaltung separat zu den Halogenstrahlern möglich ist. Alternativ kann aber auch eine der beiden Leiterschienen in die Stromversorgung der LEDs integriert sein; die andere Phase wird separat geführt. Auch in diesem Fall ist eine unabhängige Schaltung möglich.The halogen lamps are in a conventional manner to the electrical Conductor rails connected. They can be permanently installed or movable there be clamped, where just a point-like illumination is needed. The In the bus bar assembly according to the invention provided LEDs are firmly installed, where they conveniently have its own power supply feature. This has the advantage that a circuit separate from the Halogen spotlights is possible. Alternatively, but also one of the two Conductor rails integrated into the power supply of the LEDs; the other Phase is managed separately. Also in this case is an independent circuit possible.

Vorzugsweise wird die erfindungsgemäßen Stromschienenanordnung mit einer Wechselspannung von 12 V versorgt, wie dies bei Beleuchtungssystemen nach dem Niedervoltprinzip üblich ist. Da Niedervoltlampen in der Regel mit Wechselspannung betrieben werden, Leuchtdioden dagegen mit Gleichspannung, benötigt das Systemen einen Gleichrichter. Der Transformator wird zweckmäßigerweise in der Nähe der Spannungsquelle angeordnet, kann aber auch in die erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnung integriert sein. Der Gleichrichter ist zweckmäßigerweise in die Stromschienenanordnung integriert und befindet sich beispielsweise oberhalb einer Leiterschiene oder einer Trägerleiste für die Leuchtdioden, vorzugsweise aber integriert in einem Verbinderstück, das für die Verbindung mehrerer Stromschienen vorgesehen ist.Preferably, the busbar assembly according to the invention with a AC voltage of 12 V supplied, as in lighting systems The low-voltage principle is common. Because low-voltage lamps are usually with Alternating voltage operated, light-emitting diodes with DC voltage, the system needs a rectifier. The transformer is suitably arranged in the vicinity of the voltage source can but also be integrated in the busbar assembly according to the invention. The rectifier is expediently in the busbar arrangement integrated and located, for example, above a conductor rail or a carrier strip for the light-emitting diodes, but preferably integrated in one Connector piece intended for connecting a plurality of busbars.

Vorzugsweise sind die Stromleiter aus Aluminium. Andere leitende Materialien sind ohne weiteres einsetzbar. Preferably, the current conductors are made of aluminum. Other conductive materials are readily usable.

Als Isolator kommen insbesondere Kunststoffmassen zum Einsatz, vorzugsweise thermoplastische Kunststoffmassen. Als besonders geeignet hat sich Silikon erwiesen.In particular, plastic compounds are used as insulator, preferably thermoplastic plastic materials. Especially suitable proved to be silicone.

Die Ausbildung wenigstens einer der beiden elektrischen Leiterschienen, bei übereinanderliegenden vorzugsweise der unteren, in den Raum weisenden, als Tragprofil gibt der erfindungsgemäßen Stromschienenanordnung eine hohe Stabilität. Ein solches Tragprofil ist ohne weiteres in der Lage, neben einer Reihe von Halogenstrahlern zusätzlich eine Vielzahl von Leuchtdioden mit ihren Halterungen/Platinen und ihrer Stromversorgung aufzunehmen.The formation of at least one of the two electrical conductor rails, at superimposed preferably the lower, pointing in the room, as Support profile gives the busbar assembly according to the invention a high Stability. Such a support profile is readily able, in addition to a Series of halogen spotlights in addition a variety of light emitting diodes with their Mount brackets / boards and their power supply.

Unter Tragprofil wird eine jede Ausbildung der Stromschiene verstanden, die in der Lage ist, die auf sie einwirkenden Kräfte aufzufangen. Es kann sich dabei um ein einfaches Rechteckprofil handeln, um eine plattenförmiges, sehr gestrecktes Rechteckprofil handeln, um ein Hohlprofil, bei dem die Hohlräume gleichzeitig zur Aufnahme von Steckverbindungen verschiedener Schienenelemente dienen können, oder auch um ein Kastenprofil mit seitlich abstehenden Schenkeln. Es führt eine der beiden Stromphasen und ist zur Aufnahme der Leuchtdiodenanordnung geeignet. Gewölbte Leiterschienen sind ebenfalls möglich.Support profile is understood to be any design of the busbar, in able to absorb the forces acting on them. It can work to act a simple rectangle profile to a plate-shaped, very elongated rectangular profile act to form a hollow section in which the cavities at the same time to accommodate connectors of different Rail elements can serve, or even a box profile with the side protruding thighs. It leads one of the two current phases and is to Recording the light emitting diode arrangement suitable. Arched ladder rails are also possible.

Die Leiterschienen können auch parallel nebeneinander angeordnet sein und beide Tragfunktionen aufweisen. In diesem Fall befinden sich die Leuchtdioden vorzugsweise zwischen den Leiterschiene an der Unterseite (raumzugewandten Seite).The conductor rails can also be arranged parallel to each other and have both support functions. In this case, the LEDs are located preferably between the conductor rail at the bottom (room facing Page).

Die Leuchtdioden selbst sind auf einer Tragschiene bzw. auf Platinen angeordnet und vorzugsweise linear über die Länge der Anordnung verteilt, insbesondere als mittig auf jeder Schiene angeordneter Reihe von LEDs. Dabei können sie einzeln in Ausnehmungen des Tragprofils angeordnet sein, aber auch auf einer Tragschiene, die sich an der Unterseite (raumzugewandten Seite) des Tragprofils befindet und insbesondere in einer längs verlaufenden Eintiefung festgelegt ist. Sofern das Tragprofil ein nach unten offenes Kastenprofil mit beidseitig abstehenden Schenkeln ist, befindet sich die Schiene mit den LEDs in diesem nach unten offenen Kasten. Die zur Versorgung der LEDs notwendigen elektrischen Einrichtungen verlaufen dann unsichtbar in dem oberhalb der Schiene ausgebildeten Hohlraum; lediglich die Dioden ragen durch die Schiene hindurch.The light-emitting diodes themselves are on a mounting rail or on circuit boards arranged and preferably distributed linearly over the length of the arrangement, in particular as a row of LEDs arranged centrally on each rail. there they may be arranged individually in recesses of the support profile, but Also on a mounting rail, located at the bottom (room facing Side) of the support profile and in particular in a longitudinally extending Eintiefung is fixed. If the support profile is a downwardly open Box profile with legs projecting on both sides, is the rail with the LEDs in this box open at the bottom. To supply the LEDs necessary electrical equipment then run invisible in the formed above the rail cavity; only the diodes protrude the rail through.

Die erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnung kann im Bereich der Leuchtdioden eine transparente Abdeckung aufweisen, beispielsweise aus Glas oder Acrylglas, die insbesondere auch opaque ausgebildet sein kann, um ein gleichmäßiges Licht zu ergeben. Eine solche Abdeckung ist zweckmäßigerweise bogen- oder kuppelförmig so ausgebildet, daß sie sich über die gesamte Länge der Anordnung erstreckt.The busbar assembly according to the invention can in the field of Light-emitting diodes have a transparent cover, for example made of glass or acrylic glass, which may be formed in particular opaque to a to give even light. Such a cover is suitably bow-shaped or dome-shaped so that they are over the entire length of the arrangement extends.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnung bezüglich einer entlang ihrer Hauptachse verlaufenden Spiegelebene symmetrisch.According to a preferred embodiment, the inventive Busbar arrangement with respect to one along its main axis extending mirror plane symmetrical.

Die erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnung ist als Stecksystem konzipiert, d. h. einzelne Stromschienen definierter Länge können über ein Verbindersystem elektrisch leitend zusammengesteckt werden, wobei die einzelnen Elemente gerade oder gebogen mit verschiedenen Krümmungsradien ausgebildet sein können. Derartige Verbinder sind dem Fachmann von anderen Stromschienenanordnung her bekannt und können ohne besonderen Aufwand auf erfindungsgemäße Stromschienenanordnungen hin abgewandelt werden. Die Verbinder können auch mit Halterungen zur Festlegung der Anordnung an einer Zimmerdecke oder -wand kombiniert sein. Die Aufnahmen für die Steckverbinder befinden sich an den Stirnseiten der einzelnen Schiene, wobei zweckmäßigerweise Profilierungen der Schienen, die gleichzeitig der Stabilisierung und Erhöhung der Tragkraft dienen, für diesen Zweck herangezogen werden können. Solche Verbinder stellen die elektrisch leitenden Verbindungen zwischen den Leiterschienen und den Platinen/Trägern der Leuchtdioden her und können gleichzeitig die Gleichrichter und/oder elektrische Zuleitungen aufnehmen.The busbar arrangement according to the invention is designed as a plug-in system, d. H. individual busbars of defined length can via a Connector system are electrically connected together, the individual elements straight or curved with different radii of curvature can be trained. Such connectors are those of ordinary skill in the art Busbar arrangement forth known and can without any special effort modified to busbar arrangements according to the invention out. The connectors can also be used with brackets to fix the arrangement be combined with a ceiling or wall. The recordings for the Connectors are located on the end faces of each rail, with expediently profilings of the rails, which at the same time Stabilization and increase the carrying capacity serve, for this purpose can be used. Such connectors provide the electrically conductive Connections between the conductor rails and the boards / carriers of the Light emitting diodes ago and can simultaneously the rectifier and / or electrical Take in supply lines.
