Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte, die ein vorzugsweise vollständig geschlossenes Leuchtengehäuse aufweist, in dem Betätigungsmittel zur Programmierung, Konfiguration oder Steuerung der Leuchte angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a luminaire having a preferably completely closed luminaire housing, are arranged in the actuating means for programming, configuration or control of the luminaire.

Leuchten, die beispielsweise in einem größeren Gebäude angeordnet sind, werden häufig über einen Bus an eine zentrale Steuereinheit angeschlossen, die die Leuchten entsprechend steuert. Hierfür ist es u.a. erforderlich, dass den Leuchten eine entsprechende Betriebsadresse zugewiesen wird.Luminaires, which are arranged for example in a larger building, are often connected via a bus to a central control unit, which controls the lights accordingly. For this it is u.a. required that the luminaires be assigned a corresponding operating address.

Eine derartige Programmierung bzw. Konfiguration der Leuchte erfolgte bisher häufig über ein externes Gerät, beispielsweise einen PC, der über ein entsprechendes Adapterkabel mit der Leuchte verbunden wird. Diese Vorgehensweise kommt zumeist bereits vor der endgültigen Installation der Leuchten zum Einsatz, da bei bereits eingebauten Leuchten eine entsprechende Schnittstelle für ein Kabel nicht so ohne Weiteres frei zugänglich ist und dementsprechend die Programmierung bzw. Konfiguration mit einem höheren Aufwand verbunden ist. Zusätzlich ist es auch erforderlich, dass die Schnittstelle, an der das Kabel für ein externes Gerät angeschlossen wird, nach außen offen ist bzw. eine leicht zu öffnende Abdeckung aufweist, was insbesondere bei Leuchten höherer Schutzart zu Problemen führen kann, da derartige Leuchten in der Regel ein möglichst gut abgedichtetes Gehäuse aufweisen sollten, um die innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordneten Bauteile vor äußeren Einflüssen zu schützen.Such programming or configuration of the lamp has hitherto often been done via an external device, such as a PC, which is connected via a corresponding adapter cable with the lamp. This procedure is usually already before the final installation of the lights are used, since already installed lights a corresponding interface for a cable is not readily accessible and thus the programming or configuration is associated with a higher cost. In addition, it is also necessary that the interface to which the cable for an external device is connected, is open to the outside or has an easy-open cover, which can lead to problems especially with lights of higher protection, since such lights in the As a rule, the housing should be sealed as well as possible in order to protect the components arranged inside the housing from external influences.

Eine ähnliche Problematik ergibt sich auch bei Leuchten, die Taster oder Schalter zur Programmierung oder Konfiguration aufweisen. Bei derartigen Leuchten ist zwar nun die nachträgliche Adressvergabe deutlich einfacher, da keine externen Geräte mehr angeschlossen werden müssen. Damit jedoch die Taster bzw. Schalter bedient werden können, sind im Leuchtengehäuse zumeist Bohrungen für die Taster bzw. Schalter vorgesehen, die wiederum zu Undichtigkeiten führen können. Auch bei der Anordnung der Taster oder Schalter außerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses besteht das Problem, dass die Taster bzw. Schalter mit der Elektronik innerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses verbunden werden müssen, wodurch das Leuchtengehäuse trotz allem Öffnungen für Verbindungskabel aufweisen muss.A similar problem also arises with lights that have buttons or switches for programming or configuration. In such lights, although the subsequent address assignment is now much easier, since no external devices must be connected. However, so that the button or switch can be operated, holes are usually provided in the luminaire housing for the buttons or switches, which in turn can lead to leaks. Even with the arrangement of the button or switch outside the luminaire housing, there is the problem that the button or switch connected to the electronics within the luminaire housing must be, so that the luminaire housing must still have openings for connecting cable in spite of everything.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, eine Leuchte zu schaffen, bei der die Mittel, welche zur Programmierung bzw. Konfiguration der Leuchte vorgesehen sind, nicht zu Undichtigkeiten des Leuchtengehäuses führen können.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a lamp in which the means which are provided for programming or configuration of the lamp, can not lead to leaks in the lamp housing.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a luminaire according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Leuchte vorgeschlagen, die ein vorzugsweise vollständig geschlossenes Leuchtengehäuse aufweist, in dem Betätigungsmittel zur Programmierung, Konfiguration oder Steuerung der Leuchte angeordnet sind, wobei das Leuchtengehäuse und die Betätigungsmittel derart ausgestaltet sind, dass die Betätigungsmittel von außerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses bedienbar sind und gleichzeitig das Leuchtengehäuse im Bereich der Betätigungsmittel geschlossen ist.According to the invention, a luminaire is proposed which has a preferably completely closed luminaire housing, in which actuating means for programming, configuration or control of the luminaire are arranged, wherein the luminaire housing and the actuation means are configured such that the actuation means can be operated from outside the luminaire housing and at the same time Luminaire housing is closed in the region of the actuating means.

Hierbei kann es vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtengehäuse rohrförmig ausgebildet ist und die Betätigungsmittel am Innenumfang bzw. an der Innenwand des rohrförmigen Körpers anliegen, wobei es sich bei den Betätigungsmitteln um eine kapazitive Sensorik handeln kann, die als flexible Leiterplatte ausgebildet ist.It can be advantageously provided that the lamp housing is tubular and the actuating means abut the inner circumference or on the inner wall of the tubular body, wherein the actuating means may be a capacitive sensor, which is designed as a flexible printed circuit board.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte sind nun keine nach außen ragenden Öffnungen für die Mittel zur Adressvergabe nötig, da die Betätigungsmittel zum einen innerhalb des an dieser Stelle geschlossenen Leuchtengehäuses angeordnet sind und zum anderen derart ausgestaltet sind, beispielsweise als kapazitive Sensorik, dass sie trotz des geschlossenen Leuchtengehäuses von außen bedienbar sind.In the lamp according to the invention now no outwardly projecting openings for the means for address assignment are necessary, since the actuating means are arranged on the one inside the lamp housing closed at this point and on the other designed such, for example, as a capacitive sensor that they despite the closed lamp housing are operable from the outside.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, umfassen die Betätigungsmittel auch mehrere Bedienbereiche, die jeweils unterschiedliche Funktionen auslösen, wenn sie betätigt werden.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the actuating means also comprise a plurality of operating areas, each triggering different functions when they are actuated.

Zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtengehäuse zumindest im Bereich der Betätigungsmittel transparent ausgebildet ist, wobei dann zum einen die Betätigungsmittel optische Elemente, insbesondere LEDs zur Ausgabe von Informationen über die Programmierung, Konfiguration oder Steuerung aufweisen können und zum anderen auf den Betätigungsmitteln eine Beschriftung vorgesehen sein kann, die die Funktionen der Betätigungsmittel zeigt. Anstelle der Betätigungsmittel kann aber auch das Leuchtengehäuse eine derartige Beschriftung aufweisen.In addition, it can also be provided that the luminaire housing is designed to be transparent at least in the area of the actuating means, in which case the actuation means may comprise optical elements, in particular LEDs for outputting information about the programming, configuration or control, and an inscription on the actuation means may be provided which shows the functions of the actuating means. Instead of the actuating means but also the lamp housing may have such a label.

Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und den beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1: schematische Darstellung eines Teils einer erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 : schematic representation of a part of a lamp according to the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1, wobei in Figur 1 lediglich der für die Erfindung relevante Abschnitt der Leuchte 1 gezeigt ist. Wie aus Figur 1 hervorgeht, weist die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 u.a. ein rohrförmiges Leuchtengehäuse 2 und Betätigungsmittel 3 auf. Das rohrförmige Leuchtengehäuse 2 ist hierbei derart ausgestaltet, dass es zumindest in dem Bereich, in dem die Betätigungsmittel 3 angeordnet sind, vollständig geschlossen ist. Das Leuchtengehäuse 2 weist somit im Bereich der Betätigungsmittel 3 keine Bohrungen bzw. Öffnungen auf, wodurch es in diesem Bereich nicht zu Undichtigkeiten des Leuchtengehäuses 2 kommen kann, was insbesondere bei Leuchten höherer Schutzart von Vorteil ist. FIG. 1 shows a lamp 1 according to the invention, wherein in FIG. 1 only the relevant for the invention section of the lamp 1 is shown. How out FIG. 1 shows, the lamp 1 according to the invention, inter alia, a tubular lamp housing 2 and actuating means 3. The tubular luminaire housing 2 is in this case designed such that it is completely closed at least in the region in which the actuating means 3 are arranged. The luminaire housing 2 thus has no holes or openings in the area of the actuating means 3, as a result of which leaks in the luminaire housing 2 can not occur in this area, which is advantageous, in particular, in the case of luminaires with a higher degree of protection.

Die Betätigungsmittel 3 weisen eine kapazitive Sensorik auf bzw. sind durch diese gebildet, die als flexible Leiterplatte ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass die Betätigungsmittel 3, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, am Innenumfang bzw. an der Innenwand des rohrförmigen Leuchtengehäuses 2 anliegen, wodurch eine Programmierung, Konfiguration oder Steuerung der Leuchte 1 von der Außenseite des Leuchtengehäuses 2 vorgenommen werden kann und zusätzlich ein Verrutschen der Betätigungsmittel 3 innerhalb der Leuchte 1 weitestgehend verhindert wird. Hierbei ist es insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn die Betätigungsmittel 3 eine ähnliche Form wie das rohrförmige Leuchtengehäuse 2 aufweisen.The actuating means 3 have or are formed by a capacitive sensor, which is designed as a flexible printed circuit board. This makes it possible that the actuating means 3, as in FIG. 1 shown, abut the inner circumference or on the inner wall of the tubular lamp housing 2, whereby a programming, configuration or control of the lamp 1 can be made from the outside of the lamp housing 2 and additionally slipping of the actuating means 3 within the lamp 1 is largely prevented. It is particularly advantageous if the actuating means 3 have a similar shape as the tubular lamp housing 2.

Die kapazitive Sensorik der Betätigungsmittel 3, die ähnlich einem Sensorfeld bei einer Herdplatte ausgeführt ist, weist dann zusätzlich auch noch mehrere Bedienbereiche 4 auf, durch deren Betätigung bzw. Anwählen dann im Einzelnen die Programmierung, Konfiguration oder Steuerung der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 vorgenommen werden kann. Die Ausgestaltung der einzelnen Bedienbereiche 4 hängt dabei im Wesentlichen davon ab, wofür die Betätigungsmittel 3 im Einzelnen eingesetzt werden sollen.The capacitive sensors of the actuating means 3, which is similar to a sensor field in a stove plate, then additionally also has a plurality of operating areas 4, by the operation or selection then in detail the programming, configuration or control of the lamp 1 of the invention can be made. The design of the individual operating areas 4 depends essentially on what the actuating means 3 are to be used in detail.

Zum einen können die Betätigungsmittel nun insbesondere bei der Programmierung bzw. Konfiguration der Leuchte 1, beispielsweise bei der Adressierung, Anwendung finden. Ein anderer Anwendungsbereich ist die Steuerung einer Leuchte im Normalbetrieb. Hierbei wäre es beispielsweise denkbar, dass mit Hilfe der Betätigungsmittel die Leuchte ein- und ausgeschaltet oder gedimmt wird.On the one hand, the actuating means can now be used in particular in the programming or configuration of the luminaire 1, for example in addressing. Another area of application is the control of a luminaire in normal operation. In this case, it would be conceivable, for example, for the lamp to be switched on and off or dimmed with the aid of the actuating means.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigten Betätigungsmittel 3 bzw. Bedienbereiche 4 sind nun insbesondere für die Adressvergabe ausgelegt, die beispielhaft noch näher erläutert werden soll.In the FIG. 1 shown actuating means 3 or operating areas 4 are now designed in particular for the address assignment, which will be explained in more detail by way of example.

Hierzu ist anzumerken, dass das Leuchtengehäuse 2 zumindest im Bereich der Betätigungsmittel 3 im Wesentlichen transparent ausgebildet ist, wodurch bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel die Betätigungsmittel 3 auch von außerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses 2 sichtbar sind. Dementsprechend weisen die Betätigungsmittel 3 auch eine Beschriftung 5 unterhalb der einzelnen Bedienbereiche 4 auf, die jeweils kurz die Funktion der einzelnen Bedienbereiche 4 aufzeigen. Zusätzlich sind auf den Betätigungsmitteln 3 auch zwei Leuchtdioden 6 angeordnet, die beispielsweise bei der Adressvergabe Informationen über den aktuellen Status der Adressvergabe ausgeben. Eine derartige Beschriftung könnte aber auch anstatt auf den Betätigungsmitteln auf dem Leuchtengehäuse angebracht sein, was insbesondere bei einem nichttransparenten Leuchtengehäuse von Vorteil ist.It should be noted that the luminaire housing 2 is designed to be substantially transparent, at least in the region of the actuating means 3, whereby at the in FIG. 1 shown embodiment, the actuating means 3 are visible from outside the lamp housing 2. Accordingly, the actuating means 3 also have a label 5 below the individual operating areas 4, which each briefly show the function of the individual operating areas 4. In addition, two LEDs 6 are arranged on the actuating means 3, which output, for example, in the address assignment information about the current status of the address assignment. Such a label could also be mounted on the lamp housing instead of on the actuating means, which is particularly advantageous in a non-transparent light housing.

Bei den in Figur 1 gezeigten Bedienbereichen 4 handelt es sich um Felder, die als s Taster ausgebildet sind. Denkbar wäre aber auch eine andere Ausbildung, beispielsweise als Schiebe- oder Drehregler.At the in FIG. 1 shown operating areas 4 are fields that are designed as s button. Conceivable, however, would be another training, for example as a sliding or rotary control.

Mit Hilfe der in Figur 1 gezeigten Taster der Bedienelemente 4 kann nun, wie bereits erläutert, beispielsweise eine DMX-Adresseinstellung vorgenommen werden. Zu Beginn der Adressierung werden hierbei als erstes die <+>- und <->-Taste gemeinsam betätigt, dann die <+>- und <OK>-Taste und zuletzt die <->- und <OK>- Taste. Durch ein grünes Aufblinken einer der LEDs 6 wird die Eingabe dann bestätigt, und die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 wechselt in einen Adressiermodus, in dem die eine der LEDs 6 dauerhaft grün leuchtet.With the help of in FIG. 1 shown button of the controls 4 can now, as already explained, for example, a DMX address setting be made. At the beginning of the addressing, the <+> and <-> keys are pressed together, then the <+> and <OK> keys and finally the <-> and <OK> keys. By a green flashing one of the LEDs 6, the input is then confirmed, and the lamp 1 of the invention changes into an addressing mode in which the one of the LEDs 6 permanently green lights.

Als erstes kann dann mit der <+>-Taste, die "Einer"-Stelle einer DMX- Adresse eingestellt werden, wobei die LEDs 6 dem Nutzer eine entsprechende Rückmeldung geben. Mit Hilfe der <OK>-Taste kann anschließend der eingestellte Wert übernommen werden, wobei wiederum eine Bestätigung über die LEDs 6 erfolgt. Im Anschluss daran können dann mit gleicher Vorgehensweise, auch die "Zehner"- und "Hunderter"-Stellen der Adresse eingegeben werden. Mit Hilfe der <C>-Taste wäre bei falsch eingegebener Adresse eine Korrektur möglich, wobei der Adressiervorgang dann beispielsweise wieder von neuem beginnt.First, then with the <+> button, the "one" position of a DMX address can be set, the LEDs 6 give the user a corresponding feedback. With the aid of the <OK> key, the set value can then be accepted, again with confirmation via the LEDs 6. Following this, the same procedure can be used to enter the "tens" and "hundreds" digits of the address. With the help of the <C> key, a correction would be possible if the address was entered incorrectly, with the addressing process then starting again, for example.

Bei der hier erläuterten Adresseinstellung wird die Adresse von einem Benutzer direkt an der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 eingegeben. Denkbar wäre es beispielsweise aber auch, dass der Leuchte von einer zentralen Steuereinheit eine Adresse über einen Bus übermittelt wird, die dann durch Betätigung eines einzelnen Tasters angenommen und als eigene Betriebsadresse für die Leuchte übernommen wird. In diesem Fall würde es ausreichen, wenn die Betätigungsmittel lediglich einen Bedienbereich mit einem Taster aufweisen würden, da lediglich eine Bestätigung notwendig wäre.In the case of the address setting explained here, the address is input by a user directly to the luminaire 1 according to the invention. It would also be conceivable, for example, that the lamp is transmitted from a central control unit an address via a bus, which is then accepted by pressing a single button and taken over as a separate operating address for the light. In this case, it would be sufficient if the actuating means would have only one operating area with a button, since only confirmation would be necessary.

Da derartige Leuchten, insbesondere wenn sie als Leuchten höherer Schutzart bzw. IPgeschützte Leuchten ausgestaltet sind, häufiger auch im Außenbereich zum Einsatz kommen können, kann des Weiteren noch vorgesehen sein, dass vor Beginn einer Adressierung eine bestimmte längere Reihenfolge von Tasten betätigt werden muss, um die Leuchte zu aktivieren bzw. für die Adressierung freizuschalten. Hierdurch kann verhindert werden, dass zum einen durch unberechtigte Personen eine unerwünschte Eingabe erfolgt und zum anderen durch äußere Einflüsse, wie z.B. Regen oder dergleichen, die Leuchte versehentlich umprogrammiert wird.Since such luminaires, in particular if they are designed as luminaires with a higher degree of protection or IP-protected luminaires, can also be used more frequently in outdoor areas, it can furthermore be provided that a specific, longer sequence of keys must be actuated before the start of addressing activate the luminaire or enable it for addressing. In this way it can be prevented that, on the one hand, an unauthorized input occurs due to unauthorized persons and, on the other hand, due to external influences, such as rain or the like, the luminaire is inadvertently reprogrammed.

Wie weiter oben bereits erläutert, wäre es auch denkbar, dass die Betätigungsmittel auch zum An- und Ausschalten der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte vorgesehen sind. Hierfür könnten die Betätigungsmittel dann beispielsweise zwei Bedienbereiche aufweisen.As already explained above, it would also be conceivable that the actuating means are also provided for switching on and off the luminaire according to the invention. For this purpose, the actuating means could then have, for example, two operating areas.

Insgesamt ist es zur Programmierung oder Konfiguration bei der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte nun nicht mehr erforderlich ein externes Gerät anzuschließen oder Öffnungen für Schalter im Leuchtengehäuse vorzusehen.Overall, it is no longer required for programming or configuration in the lamp according to the invention to connect an external device or provide openings for switches in the luminaire housing.
