Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a busbar system for luminaires according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for forming such a busbar system.
  • a generic busbar system is for example from the WO 01/91249 A1 the applicant and will be described below with reference to Fig. 6 will be briefly explained.
  • Base element of the busbar system is a metal U-shaped mounting rail 1, which serves as a support element for the lights and for the power supply required for this purpose.
  • the mounting rail 1 is fixed by means of fastening elements, not shown, to a carrier, for.
  • a carrier for.
  • the cover of the open bottom is effected by a cover rail 9, which is part of a mounted on the mounting rail 1 light module in the illustrated case.
  • Fig. 6 shows from the luminaire module only its contacting element 10, which is designed as a Drehabgriff, but not the other components of the lamp, in particular the lamp, optical elements and the associated control or operating device.
  • the interior of the mounting rail 1 serves to accommodate the so-called.
  • Stromleitprofile which are formed by a plurality of plastic and composed wire support members 3, which are respectively arranged on the two side walls 2 of the support rail 1.
  • the wire holder elements 3 have a plurality of superimposed grooves, in which wires 4 are arranged. These wires 4 are used both for powering the lights and for transmitting control signals.
  • the storage of the wires 4 in the grooves of the wire holder elements 3 provides the necessary security against accidental contact with the live lines, so that corresponding accidents are excluded.
  • the connected light can then be assigned a desired function, for example, the light can be used as an emergency light.
  • wire retaining elements or the entire busbar system is in the aforementioned WO 01/91249 A1 described.
  • a special feature of the wire holder elements is that they can be joined together in the longitudinal direction.
  • the end regions of the wire-holding elements are configured in such a way that when the wire-supporting elements are joined together they overlap with projections located at their ends in such a way that they form channels corresponding to the grooves in the connecting regions and open towards the contacting side. That is, even in the transition region between two adjacent wire holder elements, a contacting of the wires is possible, which is why in the known busbar system luminaire modules can be arranged at almost any point.
  • wire holder elements which are made of plastic, produced by injection molding.
  • the production of such elements with a standard length of, for example, 50 cm is significantly less expensive than the production of a single long plastic element, since very high costs would be incurred for the tool.
  • a corresponding number of the wire retaining elements is then joined together, so that overall lengths can be realized for the system, which amounts to an integer multiple of the standard length. This approach has been reinforced in a variety of applications.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object, starting from the known prior art, to provide a possibility to adapt the length of such busbar system in a relatively simple manner to desired individual lengths.
  • busbar system which has the features of claim 1, and by a method for forming a busbar system according to claim 7.
  • Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of still forming the current-conducting profile primarily by wire-holding elements which have a predetermined standard length in order to keep the effort as low as possible.
  • the adaptation of the total length to a desired individual length is then achieved by a relatively small part of the wire-retaining elements - ideally only a single wire-retaining element - having a different length from the standard length.
  • the plurality of wire support members with the predetermined standard length in a conventional manner, that are produced as inexpensively.
  • only a few wire-retaining elements require a more complex manufacturing process in order to achieve the desired individual length.
  • a busbar system for luminaires which has at least one preferably U-shaped mounting rail and disposed within the support rail Stromleitprofil with wires for the power supply and / or transmission of control commands for the lights, wherein the Stromleitprofil formed from a plurality of joined together in the longitudinal direction wire support elements which is the grooves for receiving the wires and wherein according to the invention the plurality of wire-holding elements has a predetermined standard length and the remaining further wire-holding elements have a length deviating from the standard length.
  • the plurality of wire-holding elements has a predetermined standard length and the remaining further wire-holding elements have a length deviating from the standard length.
  • only a single wire-holding element has a length deviating from the standard length.
  • the invention proposes a method for forming a busbar system for luminaires, wherein the busbar system has a preferably U-shaped support rail and disposed within the support rail Stromleitprofil with wires for the power supply and / or transmission of control commands for the lights, wherein the Stromleitprofil by joining a plurality of wire-retaining elements is formed, which have the grooves for receiving the wires, and wherein according to the invention, the plurality of wire-retaining elements has a predetermined standard length and the remaining further wire-retaining elements have a different length from the standard length.
  • the wire holder or elements with the length deviating from the standard length are preferably arranged between the other wire holder elements.
  • the respective end regions of the current-conducting profile are formed by such standard wire-retaining elements, which is particularly useful when the end regions of the current-conducting profile are designed in a special way to enable connection to power supply lines.
  • all of the wire-holding elements are configured in their end regions in such a way that they overlap with one another when joined to one another at their ends in such a way that they form channels corresponding to the grooves in the connection region and open towards the contacting side. Even with the system according to the invention thus a free arrangement of the lamp modules is consistently possible.
  • the wire holder or elements with a different length from the standard length must be created as already mentioned in a separate manufacturing process.
  • two variants are described by which this is still possible with a relatively low cost.
  • a special injection molding process is used, but now the length of the cavity, in which the liquid material is introduced, can be adapted to the desired length of the wire-holding element. This can be achieved, for example, in that the two molded parts relative to each other can be moved to form a correspondingly long cavity before introducing the injection molding material.
  • This so-called Exjection method makes it possible to adjust the length of the injection-molded part to be created relatively flexible.
  • the embodiment of the busbar system according to the invention corresponds to the known from the prior art embodiment, which in FIG. 6 is shown.
  • the system according to the present invention thus has a cross-sectionally U-shaped mounting rail, to which lamp modules can be attached from the underside, wherein the Stromleitprofile are formed within the support rail, in which the wires are mounted.
  • FIGS FIG. 1 only schematically the support rail and the wire support members for forming the Stromleitprofils shown. It should be noted, however, at this point that the inventive concept is not limited to U-shaped mounting rails.
  • the present invention can always be used when the current-conducting profile is formed from a plurality of plastic elements to be connected to one another.
  • wire-holding elements 25 are used for forming the current-conducting profile 21, which have a standard length.
  • five wire support members 25 are arranged within a support rail 20 in a row.
  • Each of the wire retaining elements has the standard length of 50 cm, so that ultimately the support rail 20 has a total length of 2.5 m.
  • the specified lengths are to be understood as examples only. Of course, other standard lengths could be used for the wire support members 25.
  • busbars which have an integer multiple of the standard length can be realized when only wire-holding elements 25 with the standard length are used.
  • FIG. 1 In the lower part of FIG. 1 Now, an embodiment according to the present invention is shown in which the total length deviates from an integer multiple of the standard length.
  • a bus bar to be realized in the illustrated example which is a total of 2.7 m long.
  • the existing metal support rail 20 and the wires not shown in the desired length of 2.7 m available.
  • the support rail 20 formed from a profile element can be cut in a simple manner to the desired length for this purpose.
  • a total length of 2.7 m can not be achieved.
  • the exclusive use of the standard wire-retaining elements would inevitably leave a section of 0.2 m, which would then possibly have to be bridged by appropriate cables, in which case, however, no contact with a luminaire module would be possible.
  • the entire current-conducting profile 21 mainly from standard wire-holding elements 25.
  • at least one further wire-holding element 26 is used, which has a different length from the standard length.
  • four standard wire-retaining elements 25 now come up for use as well as another wire-holding element 26, which has a length of 0.7 m. The totality of all wire support elements 25 and 26 then gives the desired total length of 2.7 m.
  • the wire-holding elements should be formed by standard wire-holding elements. Since possibly the Stromleitprofil 21 is designed at the end portions of the support rail 20 in a special way to allow connection to power supply cables or other lines, preferably at the end regions preferably wire support elements with the standard length are used, since these are available anyway and for appropriate Purposes can be used.
  • the other wire-retaining elements with the individual length are preferably arranged in the middle region of the current-conducting profile. In principle, however, these elements are also designed such that they overlap with one another when being joined to the adjacent elements in order to form the grooves extending over the entire length of the current-conducting profile for contacting the wires through the luminaire modules.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4b are shown, two tool inserts 30 and 31 are used, which form a cavity in the assembled state, which corresponds in shape substantially to the wire support element to be created. In the usual way, this cavity is then filled with a liquefied plastic material, which then forms the wire support element after curing.
  • the peculiarity of the solution shown is now that the two tool inserts 30 and 31 can be positioned in different ways to each other.
  • the tool inserts 30, 31 as shown by FIG. 3 offset from each other, wherein the offset can be chosen in different ways to create a wire-aging element in the desired length.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrates which show schematically again the two mold inserts 30 and 31.
  • the mold inserts 30, 31 are arranged such that the resulting cavity 35 has a first length.
  • the lower mold insert 30 has been moved in the direction of the arrow, so that ultimately results in a cavity 35 with a new, longer length.
  • the length of the cavity 35 and thus the length of the resulting wire-holding element between a minimum length L min and a maximum length L max can be adjusted. It can therefore be created within this scope, a wire support element in any individual length.
  • FIG. 5 A second variant for creating a wire-holding element in an individual length is in FIG. 5 shown. Again, it is a modification of the classical injection molding process, whereby here the so-called Exjection technology is used. This one is closer in the WO 2009/043755 A1 described.
  • a cavity 45 corresponding to the structure of the wire-holding element to be created is formed by a lower and an upper mold insert 40 or 41, which cavity is filled with a liquefied plastic material via a nozzle 42.
  • the peculiarity of the method consists in the fact that during the filling process, the lower tool insert is moved in the direction of the arrow. At the beginning, therefore, the part of the cavity which is on the right in the illustration is first filled with the liquid plastic.
  • the lower tool insert 40 is thus moved in the direction of arrow so to the right, so that gradually the entire resulting cavity 45 is filled with the plastic material.
  • the upper tool insert 41 can be kept very short and compact, since it does not have to completely cover the cavity.
  • the length for the resulting plastic part or the wire support member can be selected.
