Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a busbar adapter which is provided for fastening a lamp, in particular a radiator, to a U-shaped busbar and for contacting conductors running within the busbar.
  • Such adapters have been known for a long time. They allow the flexible arrangement of lighting units on a power rail and are therefore often used in cases where the lighting must be adapted to specific circumstances. For example, to illuminate showrooms or showrooms in museums, such systems offer, since the positions of the individual lighting elements can be changed without much effort.
  • a corresponding adapter is for example from the DE 20 2005 001 472 U1 known.
  • This known adapter has primarily two regions, a first region which is provided for engagement in the busbar, as well as a second region arranged underneath, which serves for the attachment of the radiator and further comprises means for actuating the adapter.
  • contact tongues which can be moved from a rest position into a contacting position in which they contact the conductor wires running within the busbar are located on the first area.
  • the contact tongues are swung laterally.
  • the adapter also allows a mechanical attachment to the busbar, in addition to the contact tongues and mechanical locking elements can be extended.
  • the means for actuating or extending the contact tongues and mechanical locking elements are located in the lower region, which bears in the mounted state on the underside of the busbar.
  • a busbar adapter which is used to connect a lamp with a busbar.
  • the adapter has a housing with an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is adapted to engage in the busbar and the lower portion for engaging the outside of the busbar.
  • the present invention is now the task of providing a novel designed busbar adapter, which is designed more compact and impaired only slightly in the mounted state, the appearance of the lighting system.
  • the solution according to the invention is based, in particular, on the use of a so-called core element located within the housing of the busbar adapter. This is responsible for the connection of the lamp or the spotlight and was designed so that the adapter gives a particularly high stability. This in turn makes it possible to carry out the adapter particularlygina feeling to - as desired - in the inserted state only slightly appear in appearance, but at the same time to allow such a reliable attachment to the busbar that caused by a device attached to the lamp unit forces and Torques can be reliably absorbed.
  • a core element which is preferably made in one piece and is designed such that it extends both in that region of the housing, which is inserted into the busbar, as well as in the area , which rests in the assembled state of the adapter on the outside of the busbar.
  • a busbar adapter for attaching a lamp to a U-shaped busbar and for contacting running within the busbar conductors
  • the busbar adapter has a cut T-shaped housing with a provided for engaging in the busbar central part and a adjoining the central part and oriented transversely thereto base part, which rests in the inserted state on the outside of the busbar, and wherein within the housing provided for holding the lamp or the radiator core element is arranged, which is located both in the central part and in the base part extends, wherein the core element is preferably formed in one piece.
  • the core element which is formed, for example, of aluminum, is configured T-shaped in section, wherein a transverse region arranged within the base part is dimensioned such that it covers the busbar.
  • the housing of the adapter can be made very compact. It is provided that the height of the base part is smaller than one third of the height of the central part. In the assembled state so only a small plate height is visible, which is arranged on the underside of the busbar. The reduction in particular of the height of the base part leads-especially in the mounted state-to a very elegant appearance of the busbar adapter.
  • the adapter according to the invention can be designed both for fastening lamps and emitters to a busbar.
  • the busbar adapter in particular a boom, on the underside of the radiator is arranged.
  • the core element may have a recess which is accessible from the underside and has an upwardly extending recess. The attachment of the boom can then be done via a screw.
  • a grounding element is preferably arranged on the busbar adapter, in particular on the core element, which may be formed, for example, as a grounding spring and u.a. projects in a direction away from the base part direction.
  • a grounding spring which may be secured by a screw on the core element, then a continuous grounding is ensured starting from the busbar via the grounding spring and the adapter until finally to the attached to the adapter light unit.
  • the busbar adapter according to the invention further comprises at least one actuating element, via which mechanical locking elements and / or electrical contacts can be transferred from a pivoted-in rest position into a swung-out locking or contacting position.
  • This actuating element may, for example, be a lever protruding laterally from the base part.
  • the alternative or additional use of an adjustable wheel accessible from the underside would also be conceivable.
  • the busbar adapter according to the invention is generally provided for connecting a lamp unit to a U-shaped busbar. Both classic lamp units and emitters can be fastened, the advantages of the adapter, in particular with emitters, coming into play, since these have smaller sizes compared to conventional luminaires and, furthermore, are generally arranged at a distance from the adapter.
  • the invention is by no means limited to adapters for connecting emitters.
  • busbars are U-shaped. They have an elongated support element, which is open towards the bottom, wherein run inside the rail, in particular on the two side walls conductor wires. Accordingly, an adapter provided for connection to such a bus bar must on the one hand be able to contact the conductor wires. On the other hand, a mechanical attachment to the busbar should be achieved.
  • the first region is formed by a central part 10, which is provided for engagement in the busbar.
  • the second region is formed, which is formed by a base part 20.
  • the base part is designed plate-shaped and aligned perpendicular to the central part 10, so that overall results in a T-shape for the housing 2.
  • the base part 20 In the mounted state on the busbar, the base part 20 is located on the underside of the busbar such that it covers them.
  • central part 10 Both elements, central part 10 and base part 20, fulfill different tasks.
  • the task of the central part 10 is primarily to provide a mechanical attachment to the busbar and the conductor wires while the base part has means for actuating the adapter 1.
  • the contacting of the conductor wires and the mechanical attachment to the busbar is achieved in the busbar adapter 1 according to the invention by means of mechanical locking elements 11 and contact tongues 12, which protrude laterally from the central part 10.
  • these locking elements 11 and contact tongues 12 can be swung from a pivoted rest position into a locking position or contacting position.
  • the locking elements 11 then engage behind corresponding projections of the busbar, whereby an anchoring is achieved.
  • the contacting tongues 12 are pressed against the conductor wires and establish a connection to the power supply or to lines which can be used, for example, for signal transmission.
  • the extension or retraction of the locking elements 11 and contact tongues 12 takes place by means of levers 21, which are arranged on the base part.
  • the base part 20 has, as shown in FIG. 4 an approximately square base. At the two opposite ends in each case are the end portions of the lever 21, which are rotatably mounted within the housing 2. On the axis of the two levers 21 and the locking elements 11 and contact tongues 12 are then arranged, in particular the representation of FIG. 5 can be removed. By turning the two levers 21, accordingly, these elements 11, 12 can be switched on or swung out.
  • an adjusting wheel 22 is additionally arranged for actuating one of the two levers 21 on the underside of the base part 20.
  • This adjusting wheel 22 is formed in particular by the underside of the associated disk-shaped element on which the lever 21 is arranged. In the assembled state of the adapter 1 to the power rail of this adjusting wheel 22 is very accessible and can therefore be used to solve the mechanical lock with the busbar.
  • a special feature of the busbar adapter 1 according to the invention is now that it is designed to be very small. This is made possible by the fact that the components of the adapter, which are responsible for the attachment to the busbar and for the connection of the arm 50 for supporting a radiator, have been designed in a special way.
  • the adapter 1 now has a core element located in the housing 2, which despite the compactness of the adapter 1 Design gives a special stability and accordingly allows a reliable holder.
  • the housing 2 or the base part 20 has an almost rectangular base area and is dimensioned such that it covers the underside of the busbar in the installed state.
  • the housing Seen from the front side, the housing is T-shaped, wherein the central part 10 is made as wide as the busbar channel. Due to the fact that the base part rests on the outside of the busbar in the mounted state, the adapter 10 as a whole is able to reliably absorb the forces and torques acting on the arm 50 and the radiator mounted thereon. For this purpose, a stable configuration is required, which is achieved by the use of a so-called.
  • Core element Whose arrangement within the housing 2 is in FIG. 5 represented, the FIGS. 6 to 8 show different views of the core element.
  • the task of the core element 60 is therefore to give the adapter 1 a special stability.
  • the core element 60 which is preferably formed of aluminum, made in one piece. In turn, it again has a T-shape and in particular is designed such that it extends on the one hand into the central part 10 and on the other hand into the base part 20.
  • the dimensions of the regions of the core element 60 are such that the upwardly directed web 61 substantially corresponds to the width of the channel of the busbar and the substantially square base plate 62 in the mounted state covers the busbar.
  • the core member 60 is thus able to take in the assembled state, the various forces and torques acting on the adapter 1. It represents the supporting and stabilizing element of the adapter 1 on which the other components are arranged.
  • the housing 2 consists essentially of two housing parts, which are L-shaped and can be joined together to form the T-shape. They are each exposed from the side on the core element 60 and then connected by means of several screws with this and with each other.
  • One of the two housing parts 40 also has a central opening 42, which is closed by an additional cover 43. Since the forces are absorbed almost completely by the core member 60, the housing parts 40 and 41 does not have a significant supporting function. Both parts 40 and 41 can accordingly be made very thin-walled and formed, for example, of plastic.
  • the attachment of the arm 50 to the adapter 1 is effected by means of a cylindrical opening 30, which extends from the bottom through the core member 60 into the central part 10 of the adapter 1.
  • a cylindrical opening 30 which extends from the bottom through the core member 60 into the central part 10 of the adapter 1.
  • the end portion of the arm 50 can be positively inserted, wherein the opening 30 and the end portion of the arm 50 are preferably designed such that a torsion-resistant support is achieved. Falling out of the boom 50 is then prevented by means of a screw, wherein in FIG. 4 the end region associated with the screw 31 is recognizable.
  • the core element 60 thus absorbs in particular also the forces acting on the adapter 1 via the extension arm 50.
  • a grounding element in particular a grounding spring 35, is provided on the adapter 1, which is fixed to the core element 60 by means of a screw.
  • the end portion of the spring 35 protrudes from the central part 10 upwards, with a side arm 37 protruding. This ensures when inserting the adapter 1 into the busbar that a reliable grounding is achieved, wherein the grounding, starting from the busbar via the grounding spring 35 to the housing 2, the boom 50 and thus ultimately extends to the radiator.
  • the reliability when connecting to the busbar is further improved by the fact that laterally directed projections on the housing 2 form a reverse polarity protection, by which it is prevented that the adapter is incorrectly inserted into the busbar.
