Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welche ein Leuchtengehäuse sowie mindestens ein an der Außenseite des Gehäuses angeordnetes Befestigungselement aufweist, wobei das Befestigungselement zum Befestigen bzw. Anordnung der Leuchte an einer Tragstruktur ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine so genannte Bandrasterleuchte.The present invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a lamp housing and at least one arranged on the outside of the housing fastener, wherein the fastening element is designed for fastening or arrangement of the lamp to a support structure. In particular, the present invention relates to a so-called band-grid lamp.

Unter dem Begriff Bandrasterleuchte werden Leuchten verstanden, welche in einer beispielsweise an einer Decke befestigten Tragstruktur angeordnet, insbesondere eingehängt werden. Die Tragstruktur ist dabei derart, dass die einzelnen Leuchten über eine größere Länge hinweg hintereinander oder auch flächendeckend angeordnet werden können. Auf diese Weise können insbesondere größere Räume, Hallen oder Säle in einfacher Weise ausgeleuchtet werden.The term bandgap luminaire is understood to mean luminaires which are arranged, in particular suspended, in a supporting structure fastened, for example, to a ceiling. The support structure is such that the individual lights over a greater length can be arranged behind each other or even nationwide. In this way, in particular larger rooms, halls or halls can be illuminated in a simple manner.

Um das Anordnen an den Tragstrukturen zu ermöglichen, sind üblicherweise an den Seitenwänden - insbesondere an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten - des Leuchtengehäuses sog. Auflagebügel befestigt. Diese weisen an ihrem oberen Ende jeweils einen entsprechenden Auflagebereich auf, mit dessen Hilfe die Leuchte in die Tragstruktur eingehängt werden kann.In order to enable arranging on the support structures, so-called support brackets are usually fastened to the side walls, in particular on two opposite end faces, of the luminaire housing. These have at their upper end in each case a corresponding support area, by means of which the lamp can be suspended in the support structure.

Es war bislang üblich, den Auflagewinkel fest an dem Leuchtengehäuse zu montieren. Dies konnte beispielsweise durch Punktschweißen, Verschrauben oder Vernieten erfolgen. Die Befestigung sollte dabei vorzugsweise derart erfolgen, dass zwischen dem Auflagewinkel und dem Leuchtengehäuse eine elektrische Verbindung besteht, um eine Erdung der Leuchte zu ermöglichen.It has been customary to mount the support bracket firmly to the luminaire housing. This could be done for example by spot welding, screwing or riveting. The attachment should preferably be such that there is an electrical connection between the support bracket and the lamp housing to allow grounding of the lamp.

Ferner sind aus dem Stand der Technik zahlreiche weitere Möglichkeiten zum Befestigen einer Leuchte an einer Tragstruktur bekannt, wobei hier allerdings die Leuchten nicht eingehängt sondern stattdessen auf die Tragstruktur aufgelegt oder mit dieser verklemmt werden. Beispielhaft wird hier auf die Veröffentlichungen EP 0 864 808 A2 , US 2009/135610 A , US 4,716,504 A , EP 0 643 260 A1 , EP 0 913 627 A2 und DE 10 2007 036979 A1 verwiesen.Furthermore, numerous other possibilities for attaching a lamp to a support structure are known from the prior art, in which case, however, the lights are not suspended but instead placed on the support structure or jammed with this. Exemplary here on the publications EP 0 864 808 A2 . US 2009/135610 A . US 4,716,504 A . EP 0 643 260 A1 . EP 0 913 627 A2 and DE 10 2007 036979 A1 directed.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannten Konstruktionen zu vereinfachen. Insbesondere soll das Anordnen des Auflagewinkels bzw. allgemein eines Befestigungselements an einem Leuchtengehäuse vereinfacht werden.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to simplify the known constructions. In particular, the arrangement of the support bracket or generally a fastener to a light housing to be simplified.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by an arrangement having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, das Gehäuse der Leuchte sowie den Auflagewinkel derart zu gestalten, dass der Auflagewinkel werkzeuglos auf das Leuchtengehäuse aufgeschnappt werden kann.According to the invention it is proposed to make the housing of the lamp and the support bracket such that the support bracket can be snapped onto the lamp housing without tools.

Dementsprechend wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Leuchte mit einem Leuchtengehäuse sowie mindestens einem an der Außenseite des Gehäuses angeordneten Befestigungselement zum Befestigen bzw. Anordnung der Leuchte an einer Tragstruktur vorgeschlagen, wobei erfindungsgemäß das Befestigungselement mit dem Leuchtengehäuse verrastet bzw. auf dieses aufgeschnappt ist und es sich bei dem Befestigungselement um einen Auflagewinkel handelt, dessen oberer Endbereich abgewinkelt und zum Einhängen in eine Tragstruktur ausgebildet istAccordingly, according to the present invention, a luminaire is proposed having a luminaire housing and at least one fastening element arranged on the outside of the housing for fastening or arranging the luminaire to a support structure, wherein according to the invention the fastener is latched or snapped onto the luminaire housing and it is in the fastener is a support angle, the upper end portion is angled and formed for hanging in a support structure

Ferner wird ein Befestigungselement zum Befestigen bzw. Anordnen einer Leuchte an einer Tragstruktur vorgeschlagen, welches Mittel zum Verrasten mit dem Leuchtengehäuse bzw. zum Aufschnappen des Befestigungselements auf das Leuchtengehäuse sowie Mittel zum Befestigen bzw. Anordnen der Leuchte an der Tragstruktur aufweist, wobei es sich bei dem Befestigungselement um einen Auflagewinkel handelt, dessen oberer Endbereich abgewinkelt und zum Einhängen in eine Tragstruktur ausgebildet ist.Further, a fastening element for fixing or arranging a lamp to a support structure is proposed, which has means for latching with the lamp housing or for snapping the fastener on the lamp housing and means for attaching or arranging the lamp to the support structure, wherein it the fastening element is a support angle, whose upper end portion is angled and formed for hanging in a support structure.

Die vorgeschlagene Lösung führt dazu, dass die Leuchte letztendlich einfacher, schneller und kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann. Bei der Herstellung entfallen beispielsweise im Vergleich zur Befestigung mittels Punktschweißen zusätzliche Arbeitsgänge. Ferner werden keine zusätzlichen Bauteile wie Schrauben oder Nieten oder Werkzeuge benötigt. Das Verrasten oder Verschnappen des Befestigungselements mit dem Leuchtengehäuse kann stattdessen vorzugsweise taktfüllend direkt bei der Stanz-Biegeanlage, mit deren Hilfe das Leuchtengehäuse hergestellt wird, erfolgen. Auch wäre es denkbar, das Befestigungselement unmittelbar vor einer Pulverbeschichtung des Gehäuses an diesem anzuordnen. Das Anordnen des Befestigungselements an dem Gehäuse erfolgt dabei insbesondere vor einer späteren Lackierung bzw. vor einem Pulverbeschichten, um den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen Befestigungselement und Gehäuse sicherzustellen.The proposed solution makes the light ultimately easier, faster and cheaper to manufacture. In manufacturing, for example, additional operations are eliminated compared to attachment by spot welding. Furthermore, no additional components such as screws or rivets or tools are needed. The latching or snapping the fastener to the lamp housing instead instead preferably clock filling directly in the stamping and bending system, with the help of the lamp housing is made done. It would also be conceivable to arrange the fastener immediately before a powder coating of the housing at this. Arranging the Fixing element on the housing takes place in particular before a subsequent painting or before a powder coating to ensure electrical contact between the fastener and the housing.

Vorzugsweise weist das Befestigungselement zumindest eine Lasche auf, welche in eine an dem Leuchtengehäuse ausgebildete Eingriffsöffnung eingreift. Dabei kann an der Lasche ferner ein Rastvorsprung ausgebildet sein, der mit einer von der Eingriffsöffnung getrennten Rastöffnung in dem Leuchtengehäuse zusammenwirkt. Eine unbeabsichtigte Trennung zwischen Gehäuse und Befestigungselement wird auf diesem Wege verhindert.Preferably, the fastening element has at least one tab, which engages in an opening formed on the lamp housing engagement opening. In this case, a latching projection may further be formed on the tab, which cooperates with a separate from the engagement opening detent opening in the lamp housing. An unintentional separation between the housing and fastener is prevented in this way.

Vorzugsweise ist das Befestigungselement einstückig ausgebildet. Das Leuchtengehäuse kann insbesondere eine Kastenform aufweisen, wobei an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Gehäuses dann jeweils zumindest ein Befestigungselement angeordnet ist.Preferably, the fastening element is integrally formed. The luminaire housing may in particular have a box shape, wherein in each case at least one fastening element is arranged on two opposite sides of the housing.

Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

Die in Figur 1 allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 versehene Leuchte weist ein längliches, kastenförmiges Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem die - nicht näher dargestellten - Komponenten zur Lichterzeugung und Lichtabgabe sowie zur Stromversorgung der entsprechenden Lichtquelle(n) angeordnet sind. Das Leuchtengehäuse 2 ist zur Unterseite hin geöffnet, wobei in der Lichtaustrittsöffnung ggf. weitere Komponenten zur Beeinflüssung der Lichtabgabe angeordnet sein können. Angedeutet ist in den Figuren 2a und 2b beispielsweise ein Leuchtenraster 4, mit dessen Hilfe das Licht entblendet, also lediglich in bestimmten Winkelbereichen abgegeben wird. Alternativ hierzu könnten allerdings auch transparente Lichtaustrittselemente mit lichtbrechenden oder lichtstreuenden Strukturen verwendet werden.In the FIG. 1 generally provided with the reference numeral 1 lamp has an elongated, box-shaped housing 2, in which the - not shown - components for light generation and light output and for power supply of the corresponding light source (s) are arranged. The luminaire housing 2 is for Open bottom, wherein in the light exit opening, if necessary, further components for influencing the light output can be arranged. Is indicated in the FIGS. 2a and 2b For example, a luminaire grid 4, with the help of which the light blinding, so it is emitted only in certain angular ranges. Alternatively, however, transparent light exit elements with refractive or light-scattering structures could also be used.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 soll im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als sogenannte Bandrasterleuchte eingesetzt werden. Dies bedeutet, dass sie in eine vorhandene Tragstruktur eingehängt werden soll. Auf diese Weise können in einfacher und schneller Weise längliche oder großflächige Strukturen zur Lichtabgabe realisiert werden. Das Anordnen bzw. Einhängen der Leuchte 1 an der Tragstruktur erfolgt dabei mit Hilfe zweier Befestigungselemente, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Auflagewinkel oder Auflagebügel 10 ausgebildet und an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten 3 des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet sind. In Figur 1 ist einer der Auflagewinkel 10 in Strichlinien dargestellt. Er besteht zunächst aus einem plattenförmigen Bereich 11, der in etwa die Abmessungen der Stirnseiten 3 des Leuchtengehäuses 2 aufweist. An seiner Oberseite ist ein abgewinkelter Auflagebereich 12 ausgebildet, mit dessen Hilfe dann die Leuchte 1 in die entsprechende Tragstruktur eingehängt wird.The luminaire 1 according to the invention should be used in the illustrated embodiment as a so-called band-grid light. This means that it should be hooked into an existing support structure. In this way, elongated or large-area structures for light emission can be realized in a simple and fast way. Arranging or mounting the lamp 1 on the support structure is carried out with the help of two fasteners, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment as a support bracket or support bracket 10 and disposed on two opposite end faces 3 of the housing 2. In FIG. 1 one of the support bracket 10 is shown in dashed lines. It first consists of a plate-shaped portion 11 which has approximately the dimensions of the end faces 3 of the lamp housing 2. On its upper side an angled support area 12 is formed, with the aid of which the lamp 1 is then suspended in the corresponding support structure.

Bislang war es bekannt, derartige Auflagewinkel 10 mittels Verschrauben, Verschweißen oder Vernieten an dem Leuchtengehäuse 2 zu befestigen. Dies führte allerdings zu einem zusätzlichen Arbeitsaufwand oder zusätzlichen Materialaufwand. Erfindungsgemäß wird nun eine Lösung vorgeschlagen, bei der der Auflagewinkel 10 in einfacher, schneller und insbesondere werkzeugloser Weise an dem Gehäuse 2 befestigt werden kann.So far, it has been known to attach such bearing bracket 10 by means of screwing, welding or riveting to the lamp housing 2. However, this led to an additional work or additional material costs. According to the invention, a solution is now proposed in which the support bracket 10 can be fastened to the housing 2 in a simpler, faster and, in particular, tool-free manner.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung sieht vor, dass der Auflagewinkel 10 mit dem Leuchtengehäuse 2 verrastet bzw. auf diese aufgeschnappt wird. Hierzu sind zunächst an der Stirnseite 3 des Leuchtengehäuses 2 zwei etwa quadratisch ausgebildete Eingriffsöffnungen 5 ausgebildet. Oberhalb jeder Eingriffsöffnungen 5 ist jeweils eine weitere kleinere Öffnung 6 vorgesehen, die als Rastöffnung dient. Diese Öffnungen 5 und 6 werden vorzugsweise beim Stanzen des Leuchtengehäuses 2 erstellt. Sie dienen - wie nachfolgend beschrieben - dazu, dass der Auflagewinkel 10 in einfacher und schneller Weise auf das Gehäuse 2 aufgeschnappt werden kann.The embodiment of the invention provides that the support bracket 10 is locked to the lamp housing 2 and snapped onto it. For this purpose, two approximately square-shaped engagement openings 5 are first formed on the end face 3 of the lamp housing 2. Above each engagement openings 5 each have a further smaller opening 6 is provided which serves as a latching opening. These openings 5 and 6 are preferably created when punching the lamp housing 2. They serve - as described below - to the fact that the support bracket 10 can be snapped onto the housing 2 in a simple and fast manner.

Hierzu weist der Auflagewinkel 10 zwei an dem plattenförmigen Bereich1 1 ausgebildete Rastlaschen 13 auf, wobei denkbar wäre, mehr als zwei Laschen 13 vorzusehen. Der Abstand zwischen den Laschen 13 entspricht dabei dem Abstand zwischen den Eingriffsöffnungen 5 an dem Leuchtengehäuse 2. Diese Laschen 13 sind im Vergleich zu dem nach außen gerichteten Auflagebereich 12 in entgegengesetzter Richtung ausgerichtet. Sie weisen also zur Oberseite, allerdings in Richtung des Leuchtengehäuses 2 hin, wie Figur 2a zeigt. Die Laschen 13 selbst sind vorzugsweise entsprechend der vergrößerten Darstellung in Figur 3 nicht gerade geformt oder kontinuierlich gekrümmt sondern weisen stattdessen in ihrem unteren Bereich einen entgegen der Ausrichtung der Lasche 13 ausgebildeten Vorsprung 14 bzw. eine Prägung auf, der eine Rastnase darstellt. Vorzugsweise ist der Auflagewinkel 10 als einstückiges Blechteil ausgebildet.For this purpose, the support bracket 10 two formed on the plate-shaped portion 1 1 locking tabs 13, which would be conceivable to provide more than two tabs 13. The distance between the tabs 13 corresponds to the distance between the engagement openings 5 on the lamp housing 2. These tabs 13 are aligned in the opposite direction compared to the outwardly directed support portion 12. So you point to the top, but in the direction of the lamp housing 2 out how FIG. 2a shows. The tabs 13 themselves are preferably in accordance with the enlarged view in FIG FIG. 3 not exactly shaped or continuously curved but instead have in their lower region a counter to the orientation of the tab 13 formed projection 14 and an embossment, which represents a latching lug. Preferably, the support bracket 10 is formed as a one-piece sheet metal part.

Soll nunmehr der Auflagewinkel 10 auf das Gehäuse 2 aufgeschnappt werden, so wird er zunächst gemäß der Darstellung in Figur 2a stirnseitig auf das Gehäuse 2 aufgesetzt, sodass die Laschen 13 jeweils in die Eintrittsöffnungen 5 eingreifen. Anschließend wird der Rastwinkel 10 entsprechend dem in Figur 2a gezeigten Pfeil nach oben verschoben, bis die Oberkannte der Eingriffsöffnungen 5 jeweils an der Unterseite der zugehörigen Lasche 13 anliegt. Ein weiteres Verschieben des Winkels 10 nach oben ist dann ausgeschlossen. Gleichzeitig greift in dieser Stellung die Rastnase 14 in die Rastöffnung 6 ein, sodass auch eine unbeabsichtigte Verschiebung der Auflagewinkels 10 zur Unterseite hin verhindert ist. Der Winkel 10 ist in dieser Stellung also fest auf das Gehäuse 2 aufgeschnappt.If now the support bracket 10 are snapped onto the housing 2, it will first according to the illustration in FIG. 2a placed on the front side of the housing 2, so that the tabs 13 each engage in the inlet openings 5. Subsequently, the locking angle 10 according to the in FIG. 2a shown arrow moved upward until the upper edge of the engagement openings 5 each bears against the underside of the associated tab 13. Further displacement of the angle 10 upwards is then excluded. At the same time engages in this position, the latching lug 14 in the latching opening 6, so that an unintentional displacement of the support bracket 10 is prevented from the bottom out. The angle 10 is snapped so firmly on the housing 2 in this position.

Vorzugsweise erfolgt dieses Anbringen des Auflagewinkels 10 an dem Leuchtengehäuse 2 vor einem Pulverbeschichten der Anordnung. Auf diesem Wege ist sichergestellt, dass ein für die Erdung der Leuchte erforderlicher elektrischer Kontakt zwischen Gehäuse 2 und Auflagewinkel 10 vorliegt. Nach dem Aufschnappen des Winkels wird dann die sich hieraus ergebende Anordnung lackiert oder pulverbeschichtet. Das Gehäuse 2 und der Auflagewinkel 10 weisen also eine gemeinsame Beschichtung auf.Preferably, this attachment of the support bracket 10 takes place on the lamp housing 2 before a powder coating of the arrangement. In this way, it is ensured that an electrical contact between housing 2 and support bracket 10 required for earthing the luminaire is present. After snapping the angle, the resulting assembly is then painted or powder coated. The housing 2 and the support bracket 10 thus have a common coating.

Zur endgültigen Montage der Leuchte 1 wird diese dann in die Tragstruktur eingehängt, wobei sich beispielsweise die in Figur 4 dargestellte Anordnung ergibt. Die Tragstruktur 20 weist hierbei wie angedeutet entsprechende Trägerelemente 21 auf, welche derart ausgebildet sind, dass im eingehängten Zustand der Leuchte 1 die oberen Auflagebereiche 12 der Auflagewinkel 10 diese übergreifen. Je nach Ausgestaltung der Tragstruktur 20 können dann Leuchten 1 wie dargestellt hintereinander oder großflächig angeordnet werden. In dieser eingehängten Situation ist ferner aufgrund der Ausrichtung der Lasche 13 ausgeschlossen, dass sich die Leuchte 1 von dem Auflagewinkel 10 löst.For final assembly of the lamp 1, this is then hung in the support structure, for example, the in FIG. 4 shown arrangement results. The support structure 20 has in this case as indicated corresponding carrier elements 21 which are formed such that in the suspended state of the lamp 1, the upper bearing portions 12 of the support bracket 10 overlap them. Depending on the configuration of the support structure 20 then lights 1 as shown can be arranged one behind the other or over a large area. In this hinged situation is further excluded due to the orientation of the tab 13, that the lamp 1 dissolves from the support bracket 10.

Letztendlich wird also durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung eine Lösung geschaffen, mit deren Hilfe Befestigungselemente in einfacher und schneller Weise an einem Leuchtengehäuse angeordnet bzw. befestigt werden können. Insbesondere ergibt sich hierbei der Vorteil, dass weder der Einsatz zusätzlicher Bauteile oder besonderer Werkzeuge erforderlich ist. Stattdessen kann das Aufschnappen der Befestigungselemente an dem Gehäuse werkzeuglos und in schneller Weise erfolgen.Ultimately, therefore, a solution is provided by the inventive design, with the help of fasteners can be arranged or fastened in a simple and fast manner to a lamp housing. In particular, this results in the advantage that neither the use of additional components or special Tools is required. Instead, the snapping of the fasteners to the housing can be done without tools and in a quick manner.
