Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection system for mounting rails of lamp inserts, as they are used to form light bands.
  • Several mounting rails can be connected in series through the connection system and are still movable against each other.
  • Light bands are usually composed of a variety of elongated lights or lighting inserts, which are mounted frontally adjacent to each other. In order to enable alignment of the lights on the end faces, it is common in the art to connect the lights firmly together. For this purpose connection systems are known.
  • Luminaires that can be connected to form a light band, for example, from EP 0 710 796 B 1 known.
  • the two end faces of adjoining lights are connected to each other with a screw connection in the direction of the lamp longitudinal axis together with a mounting flange for attachment to the wall or to the ceiling.
  • the connection is made by a screw connection in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the lights.
  • the screw connection also makes it possible to pivot the lamp about its longitudinal axis.
  • a disadvantage of the aforementioned system is that for pivoting the lamp, the screw must be at least partially solved. Furthermore, when pivoting individual lights there is a risk that a through-wiring, which leads from one to the next light, is damaged during pivoting.
  • connection system for luminaires of a lighting system in particular for mounting rails of such a lighting system that allows adjustment of the lights around its longitudinal axis and yet easy to handle and with respect to the electrical wiring ensures high reliability.
  • connection system according to claim 1 or by a lighting system according to claim 17.
  • the trunking system or lighting system trunking system includes: two connectors each adapted for attachment to an end portion of a support rail, a movable coupling mounted between the two connectors, the coupling being attached to two sides on a respective one connector is rigidly mounted, wherein the coupling has a passage opening through which a through-wiring between the adjacent support rails can be passed.
  • the coupling has at least a first and a second bearing part, which engage in a rotatable manner, and each of the bearing parts is rigidly attached to a respective connector.
  • the movable coupling of the present invention provides the ability to rotate the luminaire in the longitudinal axis.
  • the coupling can be designed so that a rotation of the lamp by up to 360 ° is possible.
  • a rotation of the support rail about the longitudinal axis is possible, without the risk of damage to the through-wiring, in particular by shearing.
  • cable harnesses or ribbon cables are used for wiring the trunking systems, which can be rotated several times without the risk of cable breakage. Since the connection system provides a rotation of the mounting rail of maximum 360 °, the flexibility of a conventional Cable sufficient to follow this movement.
  • the passage opening is aligned along the axis of rotation of the bearing parts.
  • the mechanical forces acting on the wiring are lowest at this point.
  • the first bearing part has a tubular portion which extends into a cylindrical opening of the second bearing part.
  • the tubular portion of the first bearing member may extend beyond the cylindrical opening of the second bearing member and be secured to the portion protruding from the cylindrical opening of the second bearing member.
  • the bearing parts are freely rotatable against each other in the preferred embodiment, but are secured together in the axial direction.
  • the coupling or the first and the second bearing part can be locked against each other.
  • blocking may be provided by a positive, a frictional or a frictional connection.
  • the blocking of the bearing parts allows the fixing of the mounting rails in the light band. This can prevent inadvertent adjustment of the lights once set, as might occur, for example, during cleaning or maintenance.
  • the possibility of blocking the rotatable bearing and lamps bring in any rotational position the focus would cause an independent pivoting back outside the axis of rotation.
  • one of the bearing parts may have a locking device, which acts in a locked state of the coupling to the other bearing part positively or frictionally engaged to block the rotation or at least inhibit.
  • the locking device may comprise a screw which directly or indirectly applies a force to the other bearing part in order to block the coupling frictionally or non-positively.
  • the screw axis of the locking screw is arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coupling. In this position, the locking screw is easily accessible to be opened or closed by a fitter for adjusting the lamp.
  • the locking screw for example, a grub screw which is provided in a transverse bore of one of the bearing parts and on the circumference of the second bearing part in the screwed-in state, a force acts.
  • the locking device comprises a spring-loaded element, for example a spring-loaded ball or a pin, which acts under a bias on one of the bearing parts to frictionally or positively lock the coupling.
  • connection system with locking means locking recesses are provided on one of the bearing parts to cooperate with the locking device on the other bearing part.
  • the detent recesses may be, for example, round depressions into which the end of the locking screw engages positively.
  • a locking device in the form of a spring-loaded element for example, a ball can be pressed by a spring in the recess.
  • the latter has the advantage that the locking device for rotating the support rail does not have to be released by hand, but only a mechanical resistance must be overcome, which is defined by the strength of the bias acting on the spring-loaded element.
  • the embodiment of the Locking device with a screw has the advantage that the adjustment is completely blocked, so that an unintentional or independent adjustment of the support rail is excluded.
  • a bush is arranged between the first bearing part and the second bearing part.
  • the bush may comprise a hardened material so that the wear of the bearing surfaces is reduced with frequent movement.
  • a hose in particular made of an elastic material, is provided. This tube serves to protect the through-wiring passed through the through-hole.
  • a cover is arranged between one or both of the bearing parts and the respectively attached connector.
  • the cover is adapted to engage over the coupling and the face of the mounting rails mounted on the connector.
  • the cover preferably has an edge along its circumference, which is formed in accordance with the circumference of the mounting rail.
  • the cover not only serves aesthetic reasons, but also serves to prevent the ingress of foreign bodies and to protect against the sharp-edged ends of the support rail, which is made of sheet metal, for example.
  • the connector is adapted to be inserted into a frontal portion of a support rail.
  • the outer contour of the connector is adapted according to the cross section of the interior of the support rail to the frontal end section.
  • the connector and preferably also the coupling element completely from the mounting rails or possibly covered by the cover. There are no parts, which gives the visual impression of a continuous light band.
  • each connector has at least one clamping element which is adapted for fixing the front-side portion of the mounting rail to the connector.
  • the clamping element is arranged in the connector. With a mounting rail slid onto the connector, the clamping element acts against the mounting rail from the inside through an opening in the connector in order to fix the mounting rail to the connector. The clamping element is thus not visible from the outside, so that it does not interfere with the visual impression of the light band.
  • the clamping element is displaceable by a screw, with which it is adjustably attached to the connector, against a portion of the support rail for applying a clamping force to fix the connector in a mounting rail.
  • the clamping element may be a plate which can be displaced outwards by a screw connection perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the light band. The plate can be pressed flat or with thorns from the inside against the mounting rail.
  • the invention further relates to a light strip system comprising at least one connection system and two support rails, which are attachable to this on two sides of the connection system.
  • connection system comprises two connectors 2, which are mounted opposite one another on each side of a coupling 4.
  • the connectors are formed from an approximately U-shaped bent sheet metal section, which is matched in cross-section to the inner shape of a mounting rail, which is pushed over the connector lengthwise with a portion of the end face (the mounting rail is not shown in the figure).
  • a through-wiring and electrical connections and / or sockets are attached on the mounting rails.
  • the DIN rails are also adapted to accept lamp inserts containing the equipment of the lamps including bulbs, ballast, electrical connections, etc.
  • complete luminaires with a luminaire housing can be attached directly to the connector.
