Description

Leuchtensystem  lighting system
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leuchtensystem mit einer Schiene und mit mindestens einem Leuchtmodul, das verschiebbar an der Schiene befestigt ist. The invention relates to a lighting system with a rail and at least one light module, which is slidably mounted on the rail.
Solche Leuchtensysteme sind an sich bekannt und werden zur Beleuchtung z.B. von Auslagen in Geschäften und von Zimmern eingesetzt. Die Schiene ist an einer Decke des Raums befestigt und dient als Halterung für eine Vielzahl von Leuchten, die an der Schiene verschiebbar gelagert sind. Es handelt sich hierbei meistens um Niedervoltsysteme; Stromleiter sind nicht isoliert in der Schiene befestigt und direkt mit den Leuchten kontaktiert. Die Leuchtensysteme sind daher nur für Trockenräume geeignet. Die Schienen sind relativ aufwendig zu fertigen; dies gilt besonders für Eckteile. Weiterhin sind die Schienen nur in vorgefertigten Längen erhältlich, die nicht ohne Weiteres geändert werden können. Such lighting systems are known per se and are used for lighting e.g. of outlays in shops and rooms used. The rail is attached to a ceiling of the room and serves as a holder for a variety of lights that are slidably mounted on the rail. These are mostly low-voltage systems; Power conductors are not insulated in the rail and directly contacted with the lights. The lighting systems are therefore only suitable for dry rooms. The rails are relatively expensive to manufacture; This is especially true for corner pieces. Furthermore, the rails are available only in prefabricated lengths that can not be changed easily.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Leuchtensystem zu schaffen, das flexibel einsetzbar ist sowie einfach und preiswert an geänderte Bedingungen angepasst werden kann. Weiterhin sollen eventuelle Reparaturen schnell und einfach durchführbar sein. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lighting system that is flexible and can be easily and inexpensively adapted to changing conditions. Furthermore, any repairs should be quick and easy to carry out.
Die Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. The object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Zwischen der Schiene und dem Leuchtmodul ist eine Steckverbindung zur elektrischen Kontaktierung des Leuchtmoduls angeordnet, wobei die Steckverbindung mittels eines Kabels an eine Stromquelle anschließbar ist. Hierdurch ist das Leuchtensystem universell einsetzbar, das heißt auch in Feuchträumen oder in explosionsgefährdeter Umgebung. Alle Teile einschließlich der elektrischen Kontaktierung können entsprechend gekapselt sein. Die Schiene erlaubt die Aufnahme einer Vielzahl von Leuchtmodulen, wobei Anzahl und Positionierung entsprechend den örtlichen Anforderungen gewählt werden können. Bei geänderten Anforderungen können die Anzahl durch Entnahme oder Hinzufügen und die Positionierung durch Verschieben der Leuchtmodule in der Schiene einfach angepasst werden. Dies kann während des Betriebs des Leuchtensystems erfolgen, so dass eine Ausleuchtung optimal eingestellt werden kann. Auch ein eventueller Austausch des Leuchtmoduls kann während des Betriebs erfolgen, so dass vor der fertigen Montage des neuen Leuchtmoduls eine Funktionsüberprüfung erfolgen kann. Between the rail and the light module, a plug connection for electrical contacting of the light module is arranged, wherein the plug connection can be connected by means of a cable to a power source. As a result, the lighting system is universally applicable, that is also in wet rooms or in hazardous environments. All parts including the electrical contact can be encapsulated accordingly. The rail allows the inclusion of a variety of lighting modules, with number and positioning can be selected according to local requirements. If the requirements change, the number can be removed or removed by adding and positioning Light modules in the rail can be easily adjusted. This can be done during operation of the lighting system, so that illumination can be optimally adjusted. Also, a possible replacement of the light module can be done during operation, so that before the final assembly of the new light module, a function check can be done.
Die Schiene ist einfach und preiswert z.B. aus Kunststoff oder Aluminium durch Strangpressen endlos herzustellen. Sie weist Rastnuten auf, die mit entsprechenden Rastelementen der Leuchtmodule zusammenwirken. Die Schiene kann am Verwendungsort passgenau auf Länge geschnitten werden. Eckverbindungen sind durch entsprechende Winkelschnitte (Gehrung) herzustellen. The rail is simple and inexpensive, e.g. made of plastic or aluminum by extrusion endlessly. It has latching grooves, which interact with corresponding latching elements of the lighting modules. The rail can be precisely cut to length at the place of use. Corner joints are to be made by appropriate angle cuts (miter).
Das Leuchtmodul ist lösbar in längs der Schiene sich erstreckenden Nuten verrastet. Hierdurch ist die Wartung des Leuchtensystems stark vereinfacht. In Verbindung mit der Steckverbindung können Entnahme und Einsatz des Leuchtmoduls ohne Werkzeug erfolgen. Wenn das Leuchtmodul an einer schlecht zugänglichen Stelle positioniert ist, kann es in der Schiene in eine günstige Lage verschoben und dann entnommen und entsprechend umgekehrt eingesetzt werden. The light module is releasably locked in along the rail extending grooves. As a result, the maintenance of the lighting system is greatly simplified. In conjunction with the plug connection, removal and use of the light module can be carried out without tools. If the light module is positioned in a poorly accessible location, it can be moved in the rail in a convenient location and then removed and used accordingly reversed.
Die Unteransprüche betreffen die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. The subclaims relate to the advantageous embodiment of the invention.
In einer Alternative umfasst das Leuchtmodul mindestens ein LED- Array einschließlich elektrischer und/oder elektronischer Bauteile. Für solche Module, die sicher gekapselt sein können, ist die Erfindung besonders geeignet. In an alternative, the lighting module comprises at least one LED array including electrical and / or electronic components. For such modules, which can be securely encapsulated, the invention is particularly suitable.
In einer weiteren Alternative ist zum Verrasten ein Federelement angeordnet. Dieses ist besonders zum wiederholten Entnehmen und Einsetzen des Leuchtmoduls geeignet. Das Verschieben in der Schiene ist erleichtert. Das Federelement ist einfach aus Kunststoff oder Metall zu fertigen. In a further alternative, a spring element is arranged for latching. This is particularly suitable for repeated removal and insertion of the light module. Moving in the rail is facilitated. The spring element is easy to manufacture from plastic or metal.
In einer weiteren Alternative ist das Federelement aus zwei identischen Teilfedern zusammengesetzt, die an ihren Basen aneinander befestigt sind, wobei das Federelement sowohl mit der Schiene als auch mit dem Leuchtmodul lösbar verrastet ist. Dies vereinfacht die Herstellung der Federelemente; diese sind vielfältig auch für andere Zwecke einsetzbar. Es kann gegebenenfalls auf am Markt erhältliche Teile zurückgegriffen werden. In a further alternative, the spring element is composed of two identical part springs, which are fastened to one another at their bases, wherein the spring element is releasably latched both with the rail and with the light module. This simplifies the production of the spring elements; These are versatile and can also be used for other purposes. If necessary, parts available on the market can be used.
In einer weiteren Alternative ist zur gegenseitigen Befestigung der Teilfedern mindestens ein stiftartiges Verbindungsmittel mit Kopf angeordnet ist. Diese Befestigung ist einfach durchführbar. Die Köpfe verhindern in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Aussparungen des Leuchtmoduls ein Verrutschen der Federelemente auf dem Leuchtmodul. In a further alternative, at least one pin-type connecting means is arranged with head for mutual attachment of the part springs. This attachment is easy to carry out. The heads prevent in conjunction with corresponding recesses of the light module slipping of the spring elements on the light module.
Das Federelement ist vorteilhaft alternativ aus Blech oder aus Draht geformt. Als Material ist z.B. Federstahl oder Kunststoff vorgesehen. The spring element is advantageously formed alternatively from sheet metal or wire. As a material, e.g. Spring steel or plastic provided.
In einer weiteren Alternative ist die Schiene als Gehäuse ausgebildet. Breitseiten sind offen; das bedeutet, die Schiene ist hier nach Art eines Kanals gebildet. Das Gehäuse hat im Querschnitt die Form eines U, das aus drei rechtwinklig angeordneten Geraden zusammengesetzt ist. Hierdurch wird die Ästhetik des Leuchtensystems verbessert. In a further alternative, the rail is designed as a housing. Broadsides are open; that is, the rail is formed here in the manner of a channel. The housing has in cross section the shape of a U, which is composed of three right angles arranged straight lines. This improves the aesthetics of the lighting system.
In einer Alternative ist das Gehäuse mit einem Deckel verschlossen. Dies erhöht weiter die Ästhetik und erleichtert eine Reinigung des Leuchtensystems. Wenn der Deckel ohne Aussparungen ausgebildet ist, ist er aus klar durchsichtigem, farblosem Material gefertigt. In an alternative, the housing is closed with a lid. This further enhances the aesthetics and facilitates cleaning of the lighting system. If the lid is formed without recesses, it is made of clear, transparent material.
Alternativ weist der Deckel mindestens eine Aussparung auf, die einer Lichtaustrittsfläche des Leuchtmoduls zugeordnet ist. Hier kann eine Farbe des Deckels gestalterisch gewählt werden. Alternatively, the lid has at least one recess which is assigned to a light exit surface of the lighting module. Here a color of the lid can be chosen creatively.
Insgesamt weist das erfinderische Leuchtensystem den Vorteil auf, dass die einzelnen Bestandteile auch für andere Systeme verwendbar sind. Overall, the inventive lighting system has the advantage that the individual components can also be used for other systems.
Anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt: Figur 1 eine Explosionsdarstellung eines Teils eines Leuchtensystems, Reference to the accompanying drawings, the invention is explained in more detail below.

Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich umfasst ein Leuchtensystem eine Schiene 1 und eine Vielzahl von Leuchtmodulen 2, wovon nur eins dargestellt ist. Die Leuchtmodule 2 sind an der Schiene 1 lösbar und verschiebbar befestigt. As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, a lighting system comprises a rail 1 and a plurality of lighting modules 2, of which only one is shown. The lighting modules 2 are releasably and slidably mounted on the rail 1.
Die Schiene 1 ist als im Wesentlichen flaches, zur Längsachse spiegelsymmetrisches Profil mit einer Grundplatte 3 und darauf angeordneten, zur Längsachse parallelen Stegen 4, 5 ausgebildet. Die Stege 4, 5 sind im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Grundplatte 3. The rail 1 is designed as a substantially flat, mirror-symmetrical profile to the longitudinal axis with a base plate 3 and arranged thereon, parallel to the longitudinal axis webs 4, 5. The webs 4, 5 are substantially perpendicular to the base plate. 3
An jeder der Längsseiten der Grundplatte 3 ist in geringem Abstand zu der zugeordneten Längsseite ein erster der Stege 4 angeordnet. Dieser weist einen Querschnitt in etwa eines hoch gestreckten S auf, wobei ein unmittelbar an die Grundplatte 3 angrenzender oberer (oben ist bezogen auf die an einer Decke montierte Schiene 1) Teil des S- förmigen ersten Stegs 4 konkav nach außen zu der zugeordneten Längsseite weist; der andere, untere Teil des ersten Stegs 4 weist entsprechend konkav nach innen zur Längsachse. Der obere Teil des ersten Stegs 4 bildet eine Rastnut 6. At each of the longitudinal sides of the base plate 3, a first of the webs 4 is arranged at a small distance to the associated longitudinal side. This has a cross-section approximately in a high-stretched S, wherein an upper directly adjacent to the base plate 3 (above is based on the mounted on a ceiling rail 1) part of the S-shaped first web 4 has concave outward to the associated longitudinal side ; the other, lower part of the first web 4 has correspondingly concave inward to the longitudinal axis. The upper part of the first web 4 forms a latching groove 6.
Weiterhin sind vier zweite der Stege 5 mit rechteckigem Querschnitt angeordnet, die sich paarweise unter Bildung jeweils einer Nut 7 in die selbe Richtung aus der Grundplatte 4 erstrecken wie die ersten Stege 4. Ein Abstand der zweiten Stege 5 jedes der Paare ist so bemessen, dass in der Nut 7 handelsübliche Schrauben 8 fixierbar sind. Ein Abstand der Nuten 7 entspricht in etwa einem Drittel einer Gesamtbreite der Schiene 1. Furthermore, four second of the webs 5 are arranged with a rectangular cross section, which extend in pairs to form a respective groove 7 in the same direction from the base plate 4 as the first webs 4. A distance between the second webs 5 of each of the pairs is such that in the groove 7 commercially available screws 8 are fixed. A distance of the grooves 7 corresponds approximately to a third of a total width of the rail first
Die Schiene 1 ist z.B. als Endlos- Profil durch Strangpressen aus Kunststoff oder A- luminium gefertigt und zu Stücken abgelängt, die einfach zu handhaben und zu transportieren sind. Jedes der Leuchtmodule 2 umfasst ein LED- Array mit einer Vielzahl von LED's, die auf einer Leiterplatte zusammen mit weiteren elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen sowie mit Optikelementen angeordnet sind. Jedem Leuchtmodul 2 ist ein Vorschaltgerät zugeordnet. Die Leiterplatte mit dem LED- Array und das Vorschalt- gerät sind in einem Modulgehäuse 9 zu dem Leuchtmodul 2 zusammengesetzt. Das Modulgehäuse 9 umfasst eine kastenförmige Aufnahme 9a, in die eine Buchse für einen Stecker 10 integriert ist, und einen Moduldeckel 9b aus transparentem klarem Material. Die Buchse und der Stecker 10 bilden eine Steckereinheit. Eine Abstrahlrichtung der LED's ist zu dem Moduldeckel 9b gerichtet. Die Aufnahme 9a und der Moduldeckel 9b sind dicht miteinander verklebt. Das Modulgehäuse 9 ist aus Kunststoff gefertigt. The rail 1 is made, for example, as an endless profile by extrusion of plastic or aluminum and cut to lengths that are easy to handle and transport. Each of the lighting modules 2 comprises an LED array with a multiplicity of LEDs, which are arranged on a printed circuit board together with further electrical and / or electronic components as well as with optical elements. Each lighting module 2 is associated with a ballast. The printed circuit board with the LED array and the ballast are assembled in a module housing 9 to the light module 2. The module housing 9 comprises a box-shaped receptacle 9a, in which a socket for a plug 10 is integrated, and a module cover 9b made of transparent clear material. The socket and the plug 10 form a plug unit. A radiation direction of the LEDs is directed to the module cover 9b. The receptacle 9a and the module cover 9b are glued together tightly. The module housing 9 is made of plastic.
Alternativ zu dem LED- Array sind andere Leuchtmittel wie z.B. Glühlampen oder Leuchtstofflampen für das Leuchtmodul 2 einsetzbar. As an alternative to the LED array, other lighting means such as e.g. Incandescent or fluorescent lamps for the light module 2 can be used.
Zur rastenden Befestigung des Leuchtmoduls 2 an der Schiene 1 sind zwei Federelemente 11 angeordnet. Jedes der Federelemente 11 ist aus zwei identischen Bügeln 12 mit Hilfe von zwei stiftartigen Verbindungsmitteln 13 zusammengefügt. Jeder der Bügel 12 ist aus rechteckigem Blech gebildet und zu einem U- förmigen Querschnitt mit einer Basis 12a und in etwa rechtwinklig dazu angeordneten Schenkeln 12b gebogen. Von der Basis 12a abgewandte Enden der Schenkel 12b sind als Rastnasen 14 ausgebildet. Ein Querschnitt der Rastnase 14 ist in etwa halbkreisförmig entsprechend der Rastnut 6 ausgebildet. Die zwei Bügel 12 berühren sich an von den Schenkeln 12b weg weisenden äußeren Flächen ihrer Basen 12a und sind mittels der Verbindungsmittel 2 aneinander befestigt. Jedes Verbindungsmittel 13 weist einen Kopf auf, der deutlich aus einer inneren Fläche einer der Basen 12 b herausragt. For latching attachment of the light module 2 to the rail 1, two spring elements 11 are arranged. Each of the spring elements 11 is assembled from two identical brackets 12 by means of two pin-like connecting means 13. Each of the stirrups 12 is formed of rectangular sheet metal and bent into a U-shaped cross-section with a base 12a and legs 12b arranged approximately at right angles thereto. End of the legs 12b facing away from the base 12a are formed as latching lugs 14. A cross section of the latching lug 14 is formed approximately semicircular in accordance with the latching groove 6. The two brackets 12 are in contact with the outer surfaces of their bases 12a facing away from the legs 12b and are fastened to one another by means of the connecting means 2. Each connecting means 13 has a head, which protrudes clearly from an inner surface of one of the bases 12 b.
Alternativ sind die Bügel 12 aus Flachdraht gebogen; zwei der Bügel 12 sind an den Basen miteinander verschweißt. Es sind dann vier Federelemente 11 für jedes Leuchtmodul 2 angeordnet. An der Aufnahme 9a angeformte Rippen verhindern ein Verrutschen der Federelemente 11 bei auf der Schiene 1 montiertem Leuchtmodul 2. Die beiden Federelemente 11 sind rastend außen an der Aufnahme 9a befestigt. Hierfür sind an der Aufnahme 9a entsprechende Ausformungen ausgebildet. Die Köpfe der Verbindungsmittel 13 weisen in zugeordnete Ausnehmungen, die in einer Außenseite der Aufnahme 9a ausgebildet sind; hierdurch ist ein Verrutschen der Federelemente 11 auf der Aufnahme 9a verhindert. Alternatively, the brackets 12 are bent from flat wire; two of the brackets 12 are welded together at the bases. There are then four spring elements 11 arranged for each light module 2. Ribs formed on the receptacle 9a prevent the spring elements 11 from slipping when the luminous module 2 is mounted on the rail 1. The two spring elements 11 are latching outside secured to the receptacle 9a. For this purpose, corresponding formations are formed on the receptacle 9a. The heads of the connecting means 13 have in associated recesses which are formed in an outer side of the receptacle 9 a; As a result, slippage of the spring elements 11 on the receptacle 9a is prevented.
Zum elektrischen Anschluss des Leuchtmoduls 2 ist die Steckverbindung angeordnet, die parallel an ein sich mindestens über die Länge der Schiene 1 erstreckendes Kabel 15 angeschlossen ist. Der Stecker 10 ist hier zusätzlich zum bloßen Stecken mittels eines Überwurfs an der Buchse befestigbar, wobei eine Abdichtung erfolgt. Der Überwurf ist entweder verschraubbar oder mittels Bajonettverschluss befestigbar. Falls der Stecker 10 nicht verschiebbar sein soll, ist er bevorzugt mittels der Schauben 8, die in den Nuten 7 eingedreht sind, an der Schiene 1 befestigt. Zum Befestigen des Kabels 15 zwischen zwei der Leuchtmodule 2 sind nicht dargestellte Kabelbinder an den Nuten 7 befestigt. For electrical connection of the light module 2, the plug connection is arranged, which is connected in parallel to a cable 15 extending over at least the length of the rail 1. The plug 10 is fastened here in addition to the mere plugging by means of a throw on the socket, with a seal. The cover is either screwed or fastened by means of a bayonet lock. If the plug 10 is not intended to be displaceable, it is preferably fastened to the rail 1 by means of the screws 8, which are screwed into the grooves 7. For fixing the cable 15 between two of the lighting modules 2, not shown cable ties are attached to the grooves 7.
Zur Montage des Leuchtensystems wird die Schiene 1 gegebenenfalls auf eine vorbestimmte Länge geschnitten und dann an einer Decke oder Ähnlichem befestigt. Das Kabel 15 mit den angeschlossenen Steckern 10 wird mittels der Kabelbinder an der Schiene 1 verlegt und an eine Stromquelle angeschlossen. Für jedes Leuchtmodul 2, auf dem die Federelemente 11 bereits verrastet sind, wird die Buchse mit dem zugeordneten Stecker 10 verbunden und der Überwurf befestigt, so dass die Buchse und der Stecker 10 nach außen gedichtet sind. Anschließend wird das Leuchtmodul 2 mit der Schiene 1 verrastet, indem die Rastnasen 14 auf die ersten Stege 4 gedrückt werden, bis sie in den Rastnuten 6 einschnappen. Bei Bedarf kann zur Optimierung der Ausleuchtung jedes der Leuchtmodule 2 an der Schiene 1 verschoben werden, ohne dass die Befestigung gelöst werden muss. For mounting the lighting system, the rail 1 is optionally cut to a predetermined length and then attached to a ceiling or the like. The cable 15 with the connected plugs 10 is moved by means of cable ties on the rail 1 and connected to a power source. For each light module 2 on which the spring elements 11 are already locked, the socket is connected to the associated connector 10 and secured the cap, so that the socket and the plug 10 are sealed to the outside. Subsequently, the light module 2 is locked to the rail 1 by the locking lugs 14 are pressed onto the first webs 4 until they snap into the locking grooves 6. If necessary, each of the lighting modules 2 can be moved to the rail 1 to optimize the illumination, without the attachment must be solved.
Bei einem alternativen Ausführungsbeispiel, das in der Figur 3 mit nach oben gerichteter Abstrahlrichtung des Lichts dargestellt ist, ist die Schiene 1 als Gehäuse ausgeführt, in dem die Leuchtmodule 2 aufgenommen sind. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich von dem obigen durch Folgendes: Parallel zu der Längsachse der Schiene 1 sind an dessen Seiten Wände 21 so angeformt, dass die Schiene 1 mit den Wänden 21 im Querschnitt ein U bildet. Breitseiten des Gehäuses sind offen. Zum Verschließen des Gehäuses ist ein Deckel 22 an freien längsseitigen Enden der Wände 21 verrastet. Der Deckel 22 weist Aussparungen 23 entsprechend der Anzahl der Leuchtmodule 2auf, wobei die Aussparungen 23 in ihrer Form an die Moduldeckel 9b angepasst sind. Jeder Moduldeckel 9b durchdringt eine zugeordnete der Aussparungen 23. In an alternative embodiment, which is shown in FIG. 3 with the emission direction of the light directed upward, the rail 1 is designed as a housing in which the lighting modules 2 are accommodated. This embodiment differs from the above by the following: Parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rail 1, walls 21 are integrally formed on its sides such that the rail 1 forms a U with the walls 21 in cross-section. Broad sides of the housing are open. For closing the housing, a cover 22 is latched to free longitudinal ends of the walls 21. The cover 22 has recesses 23 corresponding to the number of the light modules 2, wherein the recesses 23 are adapted in shape to the module cover 9b. Each module cover 9b penetrates an associated one of the recesses 23.
