For example, it would be conceivable to provide different covers which differ with respect to the design of the lenticular thickening in order to influence the light emission characteristic of the luminaire 10 in the desired manner.
- covers with a structured, for example lenticular surface would also be possible.
- the present invention provides a novel lamp module for use in lighting systems, which allows due to the integrated arrangement of LED light sources appealing lighting effects and due to the flat design, the potential applications for lighting systems additionally expanded.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Lichtbandsystem für Leuchten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Leuchte, die zur Verwendung bei einem derartigen Lichtbandsystem vorgesehen ist.The present invention relates to a lighting system for luminaires according to the preamble of
Ein gattungsgemäßes Lichtbandsystem ist beispielsweise aus der
Derartige Lichtbandsysteme eröffnen dementsprechend dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit, Leuchten in nahezu beliebiger Weise zu positionieren. Da ferner auch unterschiedlichste Arten von Leuchten zur Verfügung stehen, weist das System insgesamt eine hohe Flexibilität auf, weshalb es für die verschiedensten Anwendungsbereiche genutzt werden kann.Accordingly, such lighting systems open up the possibility for the user to position luminaires in almost any desired manner. Furthermore, since a wide variety of types of lights are available, the system has a high overall flexibility, which is why it can be used for a variety of applications.
Die bei derartigen Lichtbandsystemen eingesetzten Leuchten oder Leuchtenmodule, die auch als Lichtbalken bezeichnet werden, können beispielsweise Leuchtstofflampen als Lichtquellen aufweisen. Die hierbei oftmals zum Einsatz kommenden sog. elektronischen Vorschaltgeräte (EVG) zum Betreiben der Leuchtstofflampen sind dann an der Oberseite des Leuchtenmoduls angeordnet, sodass sie nach Montage im Inneren der Tragschiene angeordnet sind. Die Lichtquellen selbst hingegen befinden sich an der Unterseite, wobei dann gegebenenfalls weitere optische Elemente wie transparente Abdeckungen oder Reflektoren an dem Leuchtenmodul selbst oder an der Tragschiene befestigt werden können, um die Lichtabgabe in gewünschter Weise zu beeinflussen.The luminaires or luminaire modules used in such lighting systems, which are also referred to as light bars, may, for example, comprise fluorescent lamps as light sources. The electronic ballasts (ECG) for operating the fluorescent lamps, which are often used in this case, are then arranged on the upper side of the luminaire module, so that they are arranged in the interior of the mounting rail after mounting. The light sources themselves, on the other hand, are located on the underside, in which case optionally further optical elements, such as transparent covers or reflectors, can be fastened to the luminaire module itself or to the mounting rail in order to influence the light output in the desired manner.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung derartiger Lichtbandsysteme zu erweitern.The present invention is based on the object to expand the possibilities for using such lighting systems.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Lichtbandsystem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie durch eine Leuchte zur Nutzung bei einem derartigen Lichtbandsystem entsprechend dem Anspruch 10 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a lighting system with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht zunächst auf der Idee, neuartige Leuchten zu verwenden, bei denen als Lichtquellen LEDs genutzt werden. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen LED-Platinen allerdings, bei denen die Lichtquellen auf der Oberfläche der Platinen angeordnet sind, ist nunmehr vorgesehen, dass die LEDs in das Leuchtenmodul integriert sind. Hierzu weist ein Trägerelement der Leuchte, welches zur Befestigung an der Tragschiene vorgesehen ist, mehrere Lichtabgabe-Öffnungen auf. In diesen Öffnungen sind dann jeweils zumindest eine LED oder ein der LED zugeordnetes Lichtlenkelement angeordnet.The solution according to the invention is based initially on the idea of using novel luminaires in which LEDs are used as light sources. In contrast to conventional LED boards, however, in which the light sources are arranged on the surface of the boards, it is now provided that the LEDs are integrated into the lamp module. For this purpose, a support element of the luminaire, which is provided for attachment to the mounting rail, a plurality of light-emitting openings. In each case, at least one LED or a light-directing element assigned to the LED are arranged in these openings.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dementsprechend ein Lichtbandsystem für Leuchten vorgeschlagen, mit mindestens einer U-förmigen Tragschiene sowie innerhalb der Tragschiene in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Stromversorgungs- und/oder Signalleitungen zur Stromversorgung sowie gegebenenfalls zur Übertragung von Steuerbefehlen für die Leuchten und zumindest einer an die Tragschiene anschließbaren Leuchte, welche ein an der Tragschiene anzuordnendes Trägerelement zur Haltung von Lichtquellen aufweist, wobei erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist, dass die Lichtquellen durch LEDs gebildet sind, und wobei das Trägerelement mehrere Lichtabgabe-Öffnungen aufweist, in denen jeweils zumindest eine LED oder ein der LED zugeordnetes Lichtlenkelement angeordnet sind.According to the invention, a lighting system for luminaires is proposed accordingly, with at least one U-shaped mounting rail and within the mounting rail in the longitudinal direction extending power supply and / or signal lines for power and optionally for transmitting control commands for the lights and at least one connectable to the DIN rail light, which a to be arranged on the support rail carrier element for holding light sources, which is provided according to the invention that the light sources are formed by LEDs, and wherein the carrier element has a plurality of light-emitting openings, in each of which at least one LED or the LED associated light-guiding element are arranged.
Ferner wird erfindungsgemäß eine Leuchte zur Verwendung bei einem derartigen Lichtbandsystem vorgeschlagen, wobei die Leuchte ein an der Tragschiene des Lichtbandsystems anzuordnendes Trägerelement zur Haltung von Lichtquellen aufweist und erfindungsgemäß die Lichtquellen durch LEDs gebildet sind, wobei das Trägerelement mehrere Lichtabgabe-Öffnungen aufweist, in denen jeweils zumindest eine LED oder ein der LED zugeordnetes Lichtlenkelement angeordnet sind.Further, the invention proposes a lamp for use in such a lighting system, wherein the lamp has a to be arranged on the support rail of the light band system support member for holding light sources and according to the invention the light sources are formed by LEDs, wherein the support member has a plurality of light-emitting openings, in each case at least one LED or a light-guiding element associated with the LED are arranged.
Die erfindungsgemäße integrierte Anordnung der LED-Lichtquellen bei den Leuchten verleiht diesen zunächst ein besseres Aussehen. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Lösung besteht ferner darin, das nunmehr die Lichtquellen geschützt, beispielsweise innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums der Tragschiene angeordnet sind. Dies ist insofern relevant, als nunmehr nicht mehr die Gefahr besteht, dass die Lichtquellen bei einer Montage bzw. Demontage der Leuchte an der Tragschiene versehentlich berührt werden. Dementsprechend besteht keine Verletzungsgefahr, obwohl üblicherweise die Stromversorgungsleitungen, die innerhalb der Tragschiene eines Lichtbandsystems verlaufen, dauerhaft unter Strom gesetzt sind. Dementsprechend ist eine Montage oder Demontage der Leuchtenmodule problemlos möglich.The inventive integrated arrangement of the LED light sources in the lights initially gives them a better look. A further advantage of this solution is also that now protected the light sources, for example, are arranged within the receiving space of the support rail. This is relevant insofar as now no longer the danger that the light sources are accidentally touched when mounting or dismounting the lamp to the mounting rail. Accordingly, there is no risk of injury, although usually the Power supply lines that run within the trunking of a lighting system, are permanently energized. Accordingly, a mounting or dismounting of the lamp modules is easily possible.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung können die LEDs beispielsweise an der im Innenraum der Tragschiene zugewandten Seite des Trägerelements der Leuchte angeordnet sein, wobei sie dann zumindest teilweise in die Lichtabgabe-Öffnung des Trägerelements ragen. In diesem Fall kann beispielsweise eine transparente Abdeckung an der Unterseite des Leuchtmoduls angeordnet werden. Alternativ hierzu wäre es allerdings auch denkbar, die LEDs in einem Abstand hinter den Lichtabgabe-Öffnungen anzuordnen. In diesem Fall wäre es beispielsweise denkbar, die Lichtlenkelemente durch Linsen zu bilden, welche dann bündig innerhalb der Lichtabgabeöffnungen angeordnet sind. Anstelle der Linsen könnten als Lichtlenkelemente allerdings auch Reflektoren verwendet werden.According to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the LEDs can be arranged, for example, on the side of the carrier element of the luminaire facing in the interior of the carrier rail, in which case they project at least partially into the light-emitting opening of the carrier element. In this case, for example, a transparent cover can be arranged on the underside of the lighting module. Alternatively, however, it would also be conceivable to arrange the LEDs at a distance behind the light-emitting openings. In this case, it would be conceivable, for example, to form the light-guiding elements by means of lenses, which are then arranged flush within the light-emitting openings. Instead of the lenses, however, reflectors could also be used as light-guiding elements.
Vorzugsweise sind an dem Trägerelement einer Leuchte mehrere LEDs in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet. Durch die Verwendung verschiedenfarbiger LEDs kann dann durch eine entsprechende Ansteuerung bzw. Regelung der Intensität der einzelnen Farben Mischlicht eines beliebigen Farbtons erzielt werden, sodass letztendlich die Möglichkeit besteht, unterschiedlichste Beleuchtungseffekte zu erzielen.Preferably, a plurality of LEDs are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction on the support element of a lamp. Through the use of differently colored LEDs mixed light of any hue can then be achieved by a corresponding control or regulation of the intensity of the individual colors, so that ultimately there is the possibility to achieve a variety of lighting effects.

Anhand der
Basiselement des Lichtbandsystems ist eine aus Metall, beispielsweise aus Aluminium bestehende U- oder V-förmige Tragschiene 1, welche als Trägerelement für die verschiedenen Leuchten dient und die zum Betrieb der Leuchten erforderliche Stromversorgung bereitstellt. Die Tragschiene 1 wird mit Hilfe von nicht näher dargestellten Befestigungselementen an einem Träger, zum Beispiel einer Raumdecke oder einer Raumwand befestigt, wobei die offene Seite der Tragschiene 1 nach unten gerichtet ist. Die Abdeckung der offenen Unterseite der Tragschiene 1 erfolgt in denjenigen Bereichen, in denen keine Leuchten vorgesehen sind, durch eine Abdeckschiene 5. Diese ist in ihren Randbereichen derart ausgestaltet, dass sie werkzeuglos auf die Unterseite der Tragschiene 1 aufgeschnappt werden kann. Diejenigen Bereiche der Tragschiene 1, die also nicht durch Leuchtenmodule geschlossen werden, könne auf diese Weise durch die Abdeckschiene 5 abgedeckt werden, sodass letztendlich die Tragschiene 1 über die gesamte Läng hinweg zur Unterseite hin geschlossen ist.Basic element of the lighting system is a metal, for example made of aluminum U-shaped or V-
Der Innenraum der Tragschiene 1 dient zur Aufnahme sogenannter Stromleitprofile, die durch mehrere aus Kunststoff bestehende und zusammengesetzte Drahthalterungselemente 3 gebildet werden, die jeweils an den Seitenwänden 2 der Tragschiene angeordnet sind. Die Drahthalterungselemente 3 weisen mehrere übereinander angeordnete Nuten auf, in denen Drähte 4 verlaufen. Diese Drähte 4 werden sowohl zur Stromversorgung der Leuchten als auch zur Übermittlung von - vorzugsweise digitalen - Steuersignalen verwendet. Die Lagerung der Drähte 4 in den Nuten der Drahthalterungselemente 3 gewährt die erforderliche Sicherheit gegen eine versehentliche Berührung der stromführenden Leitungen, so dass entsprechende Unfälle ausgeschlossen werden. Durch eine Kontaktierung der entsprechenden Drähte 4 kann der angeschlossenen Leuchte dann eine gewünschte Funktion zugewiesen werden, beispielsweise kann die Leuchte als Notlichtleuchte verwendet werden. Zur genaueren Ausführung der Drahthalterungselemente 3 bzw. des gesamten Lichtbandsystems wird auf die zuvor genannte
Die
An der Oberseite des Trägerelements 11 sind ferner Betriebsgeräte 17 angeordnet, welche der Ansteuerung der verschiedenen Lichtquellen der Leuchte 10 dienen. Die Betriebsgeräte können insbesondere derart ausgestaltet sein, dass sie eine Ansteuerung der Lichtquellen in Abhängigkeit von über die Signalleitungen des Lichtbandsystems erhaltenen Steuerbefehlen vornehmen. Auf diesem Wege wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, die Leuchten des gesamten Lichtbandsystems von einer Zentrale aus anzusteuern.At the top of the
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist nunmehr vorgesehen, dass als Lichtquellen der Leuchten 10 LEDs zum Einsatz kommen. Diese sind bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an einem C-förmigen Tragteil 18 angeordnet, welches an der Oberseite des Trägerelements 11 montiert ist. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass über die gesamte Länge der Leuchte 10 hinweg eine Vielzahl von LEDs 20 zum Einsatz kommen, wobei die Lichtabgabe jeweils über den LEDs 20 zugeordnete Lichtabgabe-Öffnungen 21 erfolgt, die in das Trägerelement 11 eingebracht, beispielsweise eingestanzt sind. Vorzugsweise ist hierbei jeder einzelnen LED 20 eine entsprechende Lichtabgabe-Öffnung 21 zugeordnet, wobei gemäß der Darstellung in
Durch die oben beschrieben Anordnung wird letztendlich eine Leuchte geschaffen, deren Unterseite nahezu eben ist. Hierdurch ergeben sich im Vergleich zur klassischen Leuchten, bei denen die Lichtquellen grundsätzlich an der Unterseite des Trägerelements angeordnet waren, neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Ferner wird durch den Einsatz der LEDs - sofern gewünscht - die Möglichkeit eröffnet, Licht in unterschiedlichen Farben abzugeben, sodass neuartige lichttechnische Effekte erzielt werden können. Alternativ zu den dargestellten Linsen können als Lichtlenkelemente auch kleine Reflektoren eingesetzt werden.The arrangement described above ultimately creates a luminaire whose underside is almost flat. This results in comparison to the classic lights, in which the light sources were basically arranged on the underside of the support element, new design options. Furthermore, the use of LEDs - if desired - opens up the possibility of emitting light in different colors, so that novel lighting technology effects can be achieved. As an alternative to the illustrated lenses, small reflectors can also be used as light-guiding elements.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung ist, dass auf Grund der integrierten Anordnung der Lichtquellen die Unterseite der Leuchte 10 frei von elektrischen Leitungen und dergleichen ist. Ein Lampenwechsel, bei dem die Drehknebel 16 betätigt werden müssen, ist dementsprechend nicht mit der Gefahr verbunden, dass versehentlich stromführende Leitungen berührt werden. Dies ist insofern von Bedeutung, als auch während des Lampenwechsels in der Regel die stromführenden Drähte 4 innerhalb der Tragschiene 1 nach wie vor unter Strom stehen.Another advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that due to the integrated arrangement of the light sources, the bottom of the
Bei dem in den
Letztendlich wird also durch die vorliegende Erfindung ein neuartiges Leuchtenmodul zur Verwendung bei Lichtbandsystemen geschaffen, welches auf Grund der integrierten Anordnung der LED-Lichtquellen ansprechende Lichteffekte ermöglicht und auf Grund der flachen Ausgestaltung die Einsatzmöglichkeiten für Lichtbandsysteme zusätzlich erweitert.Ultimately, therefore, the present invention provides a novel lamp module for use in lighting systems, which allows due to the integrated arrangement of LED light sources appealing lighting effects and due to the flat design, the potential applications for lighting systems additionally expanded.
