Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen hinsichtlich Energieeffizient und Lichtintensität optimierten elektrischen Installationsschalter oder -taster mit Gerätesockel / Schalteinsatz mit einer Wippe mit einem Lichtauslass für eine Beleuchtung anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide an optimized in terms of energy efficiency and light intensity electrical installation switch or button with device base / switch insert with a rocker with a light outlet for lighting.

Diese Aufgabe wird in Verbindung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,

  • dass ein Konverter an der Bodenseite des Gerätesockels / Schalteinsatzes montiert ist,
  • dass der Konverter primärseitig zwei Anschlussklemmen respektive mit diesen Anschlussklemmen elektrisch verbundene Komponenten kontaktiert,
  • dass ein LED-Leuchtmittel in der Wippe montiert ist und

  • the converter contacts the LED illuminant on the secondary side via a contact part.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass durch den direkten Einsatz des LED-Leuchtmittels in der Wippe eine im Vergleich zum bekannten Stand der Technik wesentlich höhere Lichtintensität bei gleichzeitig wesentlich erhöhtem Wirkungsgrad erzielbar ist. Der Weg zum Schalter ist derartig erhellt, dass z. B. auf dem Fußboden liegende Gegenstände sehr gut erkannt werden, wodurch eine Stolpergefahr wesentlich vermindert wird. Dabei können allgemein übliche Gerätesockel/Schalteinsätze verwendet werden, denen ein Konverter bodenseitig aufgesteckt wird. Lediglich die Wippe stellt ein neu zu entwickelndes, zu fertigendes und bereitzustellendes Bauteil dar. Die elektrische Kontaktierung zwischen dem LED-Leuchtmittel in der Wippe und dem Konverter erfolgt durch im Gerätesockel / Schalteinsatz geführte Kontaktierungsmittel, welche eine Demontage der Wippe (inklusive LED-Leuchtmittel) vom Gerätesockel / Schalteinsatz ermöglichen, ohne dass dabei vorher elektrische Leitungen zu lösen wären.The advantages which can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that the direct use of the LED illuminant in the rocker achieves a significantly higher light intensity compared to the known state of the art, while at the same time substantially increasing the efficiency. The way to the switch is illuminated so that z. B. lying on the floor objects are very well recognized, which a risk of tripping is significantly reduced. In this case, common device base / switch inserts can be used, which a converter is attached to the bottom side.

There are each of the support ring 6, the position of the terminals 5 including Klemmfederlösetasten, the spring struts 7, the cover 16 and the rocker 9 including light outlet 10 can be seen. At the in Fig. 3 Side view shown in addition, the cover 17 is shown, which covers one of the two arranged on the bottom side of the device base / switch insert 4 switched outputs and engages with bolts 21 in the insertion openings for the lead wire, which is for the rotationally secure locking of the converter 18 on the device base / switching insert. 4 contributes.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Sicht auf die Unterseite eines elektrischen Installationsschalters oder -tasters dargestellt. Es ist zu erkennen, dass trotz des auf die Bodenseite des Gerätesockels / Schalteinsatzes 4 aufgesteckten (montierten) Konverters 18 die freie Zugänglichkeit zu drei der vier Anschlussklemmen 5 gegeben ist, nämlich zur Anschlussklemme für die Phase L, zur Anschlussklemme für den Nulleiter N und zur Anschlussklemme für einen ersten geschalteten Ausgang. Die Anschlussklemme für einen zweiten geschalteten Ausgang ist durch den Abdeckabschnitt 17 abgedeckt. Des Weiteren sind der Tragring 6 und die Federspreizen 7 des Gerätesockels / Schalteinsatzes 4 sowie der über den Tragring 6 greifende Randabschnitt des Abdeckrahmens 16 des elektrischen Installationsschalters oder -tasters 1 dargestellt.In Fig. 4 is a view of the underside of an electrical installation switch or button shown. It can be seen that in spite of the mounted on the bottom side of the device base / switch insert 4 (mounted) converter 18 is given the free access to three of the four terminals 5, namely the terminal for the phase L, the terminal for the neutral conductor N and Terminal for a first switched output. The terminal for a second switched output is covered by the cover portion 17. Furthermore, the support ring 6 and the spring struts 7 of the device base / switch insert 4 and the over the support ring 6 cross-edge portion of the cover 16 of the electrical installation switch or button 1 are shown.

In Fig. 5 ist ein seitlicher Schnitt durch einen elektrischen Installationsschalter oder - taster dargestellt. Unmittelbar am Lichtauslass 10 (mit optischer Linse) der Wippe 9 ist ein LED-Leuchtmittel 13 angeordnet. Das LED-Leuchtmittel 13 ist elektrisch mit der Leiterplatte 11 verbunden. Über einen innerhalb der Wippe 9, vorzugsweise an der Wippenrückseite angeordneten Kühlkörper 14, z. B. in Form eines Kühlbleches ausgebildet, wird die vom LED-Leuchtmittel 13 während des Betriebes erzeugte Wärmeleistung an die Außenatmosphäre abgeführt.In Fig. 5 a lateral section through an electrical installation switch or push button is shown. Immediately at the light outlet 10 (with optical lens) of the rocker 9, an LED light-emitting means 13 is arranged. The LED illuminant 13 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11. About a within the rocker 9, preferably arranged on the rocker back heat sink 14, z. B. in the form of a cooling plate formed, the heat generated by the LED bulb 13 during operation heat dissipated to the outside atmosphere.

Von Wichtigkeit ist die Stromführung von der Leiterplatte 11 über die federnden Kontaktstifte 12 und die Kontaktflächen 24 des Kontaktteils 22 mit seinen Kontaktierungselementen 23, welche mit hierzu korrespondierenden Kontakten der Hülse 20 des Konverters 18 in Kontakt treten. Der Konverter 18 wiederum wandelt die über seine Kontakte 19 vom Gerätesockel / Schalteinsatz 4 abgegriffene Netzwechselspannung in einen Konstant-Gleichstrom von z. B. 350 mA für die Speisung des LED-Leuchtmittels 13 um.Of importance is the current conduction from the printed circuit board 11 via the resilient contact pins 12 and the contact surfaces 24 of the contact member 22 with its contacting elements 23, which come into contact with corresponding contacts of the sleeve 20 of the converter 18 in contact. The converter 18 in turn converts the AC voltage tapped via its contacts 19 from the device base / switch insert 4 into a constant direct current of z. B. 350 mA for the supply of the LED bulb 13 to.

Fig. 5 zeigt insbesondere auch die Zentralbohrung des Gerätesockels / Schalteinsatzes 4, in welche sowohl die Hülse 20 als auch der zylinderförmige Abschnitt des Kontaktteils 22 eintauchen. Ferner sind der Tragring 6, die Anschlussklemmen 5 inklusive Klemmfederlösetasten sowie der Abdeckrahmen 16 des Installationsschalters oder -tasters zu erkennen. Fig. 5 shows in particular the central bore of the device base / switching insert 4, in which both the sleeve 20 and the cylindrical portion of the contact part 22 dive. Furthermore, the support ring 6, the terminals 5 including clamping spring release buttons and the cover 16 of the installation switch or button can be seen.

Das LED-Leuchtmittel 13 selbst kann aus einer LED oder auch aus mehreren LEDs bestehen, abhängig davon, welche Lichtintensität gewünscht wird.The LED illuminant 13 itself can consist of one LED or also of several LEDs, depending on which light intensity is desired.

Selbstverständlich sind weitere Ausführungsvarianten mit alternativer Anordnung des LED-Leuchtmittels 13 innerhalb der Wippe 9 realisierbar. Wesentliches Kriterium bei allen Ausführungsvarianten ist die unmittelbare Integration des LED-Leuchtmittels 13 in der Wippe 9 selbst inklusive der zur Versorgung des LED-Leuchtmittels 13 erforderlichen Stromzuführung mit Kontaktteil 22, welches eine problemlose Demontage der Wippe 9 vom montierten Gerätesockel / Schalteinsatz 4 ermöglicht.Of course, further embodiments with alternative arrangement of the LED light source 13 within the rocker 9 can be realized. The essential criterion in all variants is the direct integration of the LED light source 13 in the rocker 9 itself including the power supply to the LED bulb 13 required contact part 22, which allows easy dismantling of the rocker 9 from the mounted device base / switch insert 4.

Vorstehend ist die Rede davon, dass der Lichtauslass 10 vorzugsweise in Richtung Fußboden strahlt. Alternativ kann der Installationsschalter oder -taster auch um 180° gedreht montiert werden, so dass der Lichtauslass 10 in Richtung Decke strahlt, was bei einer sehr hellen, vorzugsweise weißen Decke zur Reflexion führt, wodurch eine gewünschte Fußbodenbeleuchtung realisiert wird.Above, there is talk of the light outlet 10 radiating preferably toward the floor. Alternatively, the installation switch or button can also be mounted rotated by 180 °, so that the light outlet 10 radiates towards the ceiling, resulting in a very bright, preferably white ceiling for reflection, whereby a desired floor lighting is realized.

Selbstredend ist die Erfindung universell für Anordnungen in Ausschaltung, Wechselschaltung, Kreuzschaltung und bei Tastschaltern einsetzbar.Needless to say, the invention can be used universally for arrangements in switch-off, changeover, cross-circuiting and key switches.
