Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Feuchtraumleuchte mit einem Gehäuse, einem elektrischen Leuchtmittel und einer lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung, wobei in dem Gehäuse eine Durchgangsöffnung für ein Stromkabel zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtmittels gebildet ist.The invention relates to a wet room light with a housing, an electrical lamp and a translucent cover, wherein in the housing, a passage opening for a power cable to power the illuminant is formed.
Bei einer Feuchtraumleuchte sollen die einzelnen Komponenten möglichst gut vor der äußeren Umgebung abgeschirmt sein; insbesondere soll ein Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit verhindert werden.In the case of a damp-proof luminaire, the individual components should be shielded from the outside environment as well as possible; in particular, the penetration of moisture should be prevented.
Eine Feuchtraumleuchte ist üblicherweise insgesamt länglich und weist ein Gehäuse und eine, in der Regel nach unten weisende, lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung auf, die umlaufend dichtend mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist. In dem von dem Gehäuse einerseits und der Abdeckung andererseits umschlossenen Innenraum der Feuchtraumleuchte befindet sich ein elektrisches Leuchtmittel, und zwar üblicherweise gehaltert an der Unterseite eines, im Wesentlichen plattenförmigen, Trägerelements. Ein Betriebsgerät für das Leuchtmittel ist oben auf dem Trägerelement angeordnet.A wet room light is usually a total of elongated and has a housing and a, usually downwardly facing, translucent cover which is circumferentially sealingly connected to the housing. In the enclosed by the housing on the one hand and the cover on the other hand, the interior of the wet room light is an electric light source, and usually held on the underside of a, substantially plate-shaped support member. An operating device for the lighting means is arranged on top of the carrier element.
Zur elektrischen Stromversorgung des Leuchtmittels ist ein Stromkabel von außen kommend durch eine, stirnseitig in dem Gehäuse gebildete Durchgangsöffnung hindurch in den Innenraum geführt und dort mittels einer Klemme, die sich ebenfalls oben auf dem Trägerelement befindet, mit einem elektrischen Leiter verbunden, der andererseits weiter zu dem Betriebsgerät führt.For the electrical power supply of the lamp, a power cable coming from the outside is guided through a through-hole formed in the housing through the opening into the interior and there by means of a terminal which is also located on top of the support member, connected to an electrical conductor, on the other hand on leads to the operating device.
Zur Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen dem Stromkabel und dem Leuchtmittel kann - beispielsweise nachdem das Gehäuse an einer Raumdecke befestigt worden ist - die Abdeckung abgenommen werden und das Trägerelement aus seiner Position gelöst werden, so dass die genannte Klemme zugänglich wird. Die Handhabung erfordert hierbei jedoch vergleichsweise hohen Aufwand.To make the electrical connection between the power cable and the lighting means can - for example, after the housing has been attached to a ceiling - the cover are removed and the support member are released from its position, so that said terminal is accessible. The handling here, however, requires relatively high effort.
Um dies zu vermeiden, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, einen Leuchtenanschluss-Schlitten zu verwenden. Dies sei anhand der Skizzen in den
Allerdings ist auch die Handhabung des Leuchtenanschluss-Schlittens nicht unproblematisch und vergleichsweise aufwändig; zudem handelt es sich bei dem Leuchtenanschluss-Schlitten um ein vergleichsweise komplexes Bauteil. Insbesondere ist zu bedenken, dass zur Herstellung der Feuchtraumleuchte hierbei zunächst die integrierte Klemme des Leuchtenanschluss-Schlittens mit den entsprechenden intern in der Feuchtraumleuchte weiterführenden elektrischen Leitern verbunden werden muss; dieser Arbeitsschritt wird üblicherweise durch den Hersteller der Feuchtraumleuchte ausgeführt, so dass ein End-Nutzer die Verbindung mit dem Stromkabel herstellen kann, ohne die Abdeckung von dem Gehäuse lösen zu müssen. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung ist ein automatisiertes Verdrahten an der integrierten Klemme des Leuchtenanschluss-Schlittens praktisch nicht möglich.However, the handling of the lamp connection slide is not without problems and comparatively expensive; Moreover, the lamp connection slide is a comparatively complex component. In particular, it should be remembered that in order to produce the moisture-proof luminaire, the integrated terminal of the luminaire connection carriage must first be connected to the corresponding electrical conductors which continue internally in the moisture-proof luminaire; This operation is usually carried out by the manufacturer of the moisture-proof light, so that an end-user can connect to the power cable without having to remove the cover from the housing. Due to this configuration, an automated wiring to the integrated terminal of the lamp terminal carriage is practically impossible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine entsprechende verbesserte Feuchtraumleuchte anzugeben. Insbesondere soll die Feuchtraumleuchte eine erleichterte Herstellung der elektrischen Versorgung ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to provide a corresponding improved wet room light. In particular, the wet room light should facilitate the production of electrical power.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit dem in dem unabhängigen Anspruch genannten Gegenstand gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention with the object mentioned in the independent claim. Particular embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Feuchtraumleuchte vorgesehen, die ein Gehäuse und eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung aufweist, die derart an dem Gehäuse gehaltert ist, dass durch das Gehäuse und die Abdeckung ein Innenraum der Feuchtraumleuchte gebildet bzw. umschrieben ist. In dem Innenraum ist ein elektrisches Leuchtmittel angeordnet, wobei in dem Gehäuse eine Durchgangsöffnung für ein Stromkabel zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtmittels gebildet ist. Weiterhin ist in dem Innenraum ein elektrisches Verbindungselement zur elektrischen Verbindung des Stromkabels mit wenigstens einem elektrischen Leiter zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtmittels angeordnet. Das Gehäuse weist außerdem eine Zugangsöffnung auf, die derart ausgebildet ist, dass das Verbindungselement unter Nutzung der Zugangsöffnung mit dem Stromkabel elektrisch verbunden werden kann.According to the invention, a wet room light is provided, which has a housing and a transparent cover, which is supported on the housing such that an interior of the wet room lamp is formed or circumscribed by the housing and the cover. In the interior, an electric lamp is arranged, wherein in the housing, a passage opening for a power cable for powering the lamp is formed. Furthermore, in the interior, an electrical connection element for electrically connecting the power cable with at least one electrical conductor for powering the light source is arranged. The housing also has an access opening formed such that the connector can be electrically connected using the access port to the power cable.
Auf diese Weise ist zur Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung kein separates Teil, wie beispielsweise der oben beschriebene Leuchtenanschluss-Schlitten, erforderlich. Das Verbindungselement lässt sich fest an einem weiteren Leuchtenbauteil befestigen, so dass insbesondere ein automatisiertes Verdrahten des Verbindungselements gut möglich ist. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der Herstellungsaufwand der Feuchtraunleuchte reduzieren. Als Verbindungselement kann eine Standardklemme verwendet werden, die im Vergleich zu dem Leuchtenanschluss-Schlitten ein einfacheres Bauteil darstellt.In this way, no separate part, such as the light fitting carriage described above, is required for the production of the electrical connection. The connecting element can be firmly attached to a further lighting component, so that in particular an automated wiring of the connecting element is well possible. In this way, the production cost of the moisture-reducing beacon can be reduced. As a connecting element, a standard terminal can be used, which is a simpler component compared to the lamp terminal slide.
Bei Verwendung des bekannten Leuchtenanschluss-Schlittens ist aufgrund der üblichen Größenverhältnisse eine bestimmte obere Grenze für die Anzahl der elektrischen Leiter gegeben, die nach dem Stand der Technik bei drei liegt. Daher ist hierbei ein Durchschleifen, eine Notlichtansteuerung, ein Dimmen etc. nicht möglich. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung hingegen lässt sich auch ein Verbindungselement für mehr als drei Leiter gut handhaben; beispielsweis kann hierfür eine Standardklemme mit entsprechend vielen Anschlussstellen - beispielsweise eine wenigstens siebenpolige Klemme - verwendet werden. Die Möglichkeiten der elektrischen Ansteuerung der Feuchtraumleuchte sind daher deutlich verbessert. Bauseitig sind also beispielsweise für mehrere entsprechende Feuchtraumleuchten keine Verteilerdosen mehr erforderlich. Dabei können ferner sowohl flexible, als auch starre Leiter verwendet werden.When using the known lamp terminal slide is given due to the usual size ratios, a certain upper limit for the number of electrical conductors, which is in the prior art at three. Therefore, through-looping, emergency lighting control, dimming etc. is not possible. By contrast, the solution according to the invention also makes it possible to handle well a connecting element for more than three conductors; For example, this can be a standard terminal with a corresponding number of connection points - for example, a least seven-pin terminal - are used. The possibilities of electrical control of the moisture-proof light are therefore significantly improved. On site, for example, no more junction boxes are required for several corresponding damp-proof lights. In addition, both flexible and rigid conductors can be used.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Feuchtraumleuchte weiterhin ein Trägerbauteil auf, insbesondere eine Trägerplatte, wobei das Verbindungselement auf dem Trägerbauteil fixiert angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist ein automatisches Verdrahten besonders gut möglich.According to the invention the wet room lamp further comprises a support member, in particular a support plate, wherein the connecting element is arranged fixed on the support member. In this way, automatic wiring is particularly well possible.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Feuchtraumleuchte derart ausgestaltet, dass das Trägerbauteil reversibel aus einem für einen Betrieb der Feuchtraumleuchte vorgesehenen Betriebszustand heraus in einen gebogenen Zustand gebogen werden kann, wobei sich das Verbindungselement in dem gebogenen Zustand näher an der Zugangsöffnung befindet als in dem Betriebszustand. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Zugänglichkeit zu dem Verbindungselement durch die Zugangsöffnung hindurch weitergehend verbessern, so dass die Handhabung bei der Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung weitergehend erleichtert ist. Das Trägerbauteil weist hierzu vorteilhaft eine Soll-Biegelinie für eine Biegung aus dem Betriebszustand in den gebogenen Zustand auf. Hierdurch ist die Biegung besonders leicht durchführbar.According to the invention, the moisture-proof luminaire is designed in such a way that the support component can be reversibly bent out of an operating state provided for operation of the moisture-proof lamp into a bent state, wherein the connecting element is closer to the access opening in the bent state than in the operating state. In this way, the accessibility to the connecting element through the access opening can be further improved, so that the handling in the manufacture of the electrical connection is further facilitated. For this purpose, the carrier component advantageously has a desired bending line for a bend from the operating state to the bent state. As a result, the bend is particularly easy to carry out.
Vorzugsweise ist die Feuchtraumleuchte derart ausgestaltet, dass das Verbindungselement im gebogenen Zustand des Trägerbauteils die Zugangsöffnung durchsetzend positioniert ist. Hierdurch ist eine besonders gute Zugänglichkeit zu dem Verbindungselement ermöglicht.The moisture-proof luminaire is preferably configured in such a way that the connecting element is positioned in the bent state of the carrier component so that it passes through the access opening. This allows a particularly good accessibility to the connecting element.
Eine besonders gute Zugänglichkeit zu dem Verbindungselement lässt auch sich erzielen, wenn die Feuchtraumleuchte derart gestaltet ist, dass der Rand der Zugangsöffnung zumindest im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegt, und das Verbindungselement innerhalb der - mit Bezug auf diese Ebene - normalen Projektion der Zugangsöffnung angeordnet ist. Hierdurch lässt sich erzielen, dass sich das Verbindungselement durch Biegen des Trägerbauteils besonders weit bewegen lässt, grundsätzlich sogar durch die Zugangsöffnung hindurch.A particularly good accessibility to the connecting element can also be achieved when the wet room lamp is designed such that the edge of the access opening is at least substantially in one plane, and the connecting element is disposed within the - with respect to this plane - normal projection of the access opening , This makes it possible to achieve that the connecting element can be moved particularly far by bending the carrier component, in principle even through the access opening.
Vorzugsweise ist die Feuchtraumleuchte derart gestaltet, dass der Rand der Zugangsöffnung zumindest im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegt und der Rand der Durchgangsöffnung zumindest im Wesentlichen in einer weiteren Ebene liegt, wobei die weitere Ebene die zuerst genannte Ebene in einem Winkel schneidet, der größer als 45°, vorzugsweise größer als 55° ist. Auf diese Weise lässt sich erzielen, dass das Stromkabel zur Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung bei guter Zugänglichkeit zu dem Verbindungselement besonders wenig gebogen werden muss.Preferably, the wet room light is configured such that the edge of the access opening lies at least substantially in one plane and the edge of the passage opening lies at least substantially in a further plane, wherein the further plane intersects the first-mentioned plane at an angle which is greater than 45 °, preferably greater than 55 °. In this way it can be achieved that the power cable for the production of the electrical connection with good accessibility to the connecting element must be bent very little.
Die Feuchtraumleuchte weist vorzugsweise insgesamt eine längliche Form auf, wobei die Zugangsöffnung an einem der beiden, durch die längliche Form gegebenen Endbereiche der Feuchtraumleuchte ausgebildet ist. Auch die Zugangsöffnung weist vorzugsweise eine längliche Form auf, wobei vorzugsweise die Längserstreckung der Feuchtraumleuchte und die Längserstreckung der Zugangsöffnung parallel verlaufend orientiert sind. Hierdurch ist bei einer insgesamt schlanken Form der Feuchtraumleuchte eine besonders gute Zugänglichkeit ermöglicht.The wet room lamp preferably has an overall elongated shape, wherein the access opening is formed on one of the two, given by the elongated shape end portions of the wet room lamp. Also, the access opening preferably has an elongated shape, wherein preferably the longitudinal extension of the moisture-proof lamp and the longitudinal extension of the access opening are oriented parallel. As a result, a particularly good accessibility is possible with a generally slim shape of the wet room light.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist die Zugangsöffnung an einer Stelle in dem Gehäuse ausgebildet, die der Abdeckung gegenüberliegt.Further advantageously, the access opening is formed at a location in the housing opposite to the cover.
Eine besonders gute Zugänglichkeit ist weiterhin ermöglicht, wenn die Größe der Zugangsöffnung größer ist als die Größe der Durchgangsöffnung, vorzugsweise größer als das Dreifache der Größe der Durchgangsöffnung.A particularly good accessibility is further made possible if the size of the access opening is greater than the size of the passage opening, preferably larger than three times the size of the passage opening.
Zum abdichtenden Verschluss der Zugangsöffnung weist die Feuchtraumleuchte vorteilhaft einen Deckel auf.For sealing closure of the access opening, the moisture-proof light advantageously has a lid.

Die Feuchtraumleuchte weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, sowie eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung 4, die mit dem Gehäuse 2 in an sich bekannter Weise dicht, insbesondere feuchtedicht verbunden ist, wobei durch das Gehäuse 2 und die Abdeckung 4 ein Innenraum der Feuchtraumleuchte gebildet bzw. umschrieben ist. Die Abdeckung 4 ist an dem Gehäuse 2 gehaltert, beispielsweise durch mehrere (in
In dem Gehäuse 2 ist eine Zugangsöffnung 6 gebildet, die bei Betrieb der Feuchtraumleuchte durch einen (in den Figuren nicht gezeigten) abdichtenden Deckel verschlossen ist. In
In dem Innenraum der Feuchtraumleuchte ist ein elektrisches Leuchtmittel angeordnet, beispielsweise in Form wenigstens einer Leuchtstoffröhre. Ein von dem Leuchtmittel erzeugtes Licht kann den Innenraum durch die lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung 4 hindurch nach außen verlassen.In the interior of the wet room lamp, an electric light source is arranged, for example in the form of at least one fluorescent tube. One of the bulbs generated light can leave the interior through the
Zum Betrieb der Feuchtraumleuchte ist eine Ausrichtung derselben vorgesehen, bei der das Gehäuse 2 nach oben weist und die Abdeckung 4 und somit auch die Lichtabgabe nach unten. In der folgenden Beschreibung wird von dieser Orientierung ausgegangen. Im Allgemeinen kann jedoch auch eine andere Orientierung vorgesehen sein; die Richtungsangaben sind in diesem Fall entsprechend umzudeuten.For the operation of the moisture lamp an orientation of the same is provided, in which the

Vorzugsweise ist das Verbindungselement 12 unmittelbar auf der Trägerplatte 16 fixiert angeordnet. Durch eine entsprechend feste Anordnung lässt sich erzielen, dass die elektrische Verbindung des wenigstens einen elektrischen Leiters 14 an dem Verbindungselement 12 vergleichsweise einfach in automatisierter Form möglich ist, beispielsweise mithilfe eines Roboters zum automatischen Verdrahten.Preferably, the connecting
Vorteilhaft ist an dem Trägerbauteil 16 ein Reflektor für das von dem Leuchtmittel abgegebene Licht angeordnet. Das Trägerbauteil 16 kann auch selbst als ein entsprechender Reflektor ausgebildet sein.Advantageously, a reflector for the light emitted by the light source is arranged on the

Nach Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung wird das Trägerbauteil 16 wieder aus dem gebogenen Zustand zurück in den Betriebszustand bewegt. Gegebenenfalls kann das Stromkabel 10 noch der Länge nach durch die Durchgangsöffnung 8 verschoben werden, bis es in eine gewünschte Position gebracht ist. Auf diese Weise ist ein fünfter, in
Die Zugangsöffnung 6 ist vorzugsweise so gestaltet, dass sich der Rand der Zugangsöffnung 6 zumindest im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene befindet. Mit "im Wesentlichen" sei dabei bezeichnet, dass eine Ebene gefunden werden kann, von der der Rand an keiner Stelle einen Abstand aufweist, der größer ist als ein kleines Maß, wobei das kleine Maß beispielsweise durch 10% der maximalen Innenerstreckung der Zugangsöffnung 6 gegeben sein kann. Im gezeigten Beispiel liegt die Zugangsöffnung 6 im Wesentlichen in einer horizontalen Ebene. Die Zugangsöffnung 6 ist hier innerhalb einer nach oben weisenden Deckenwand des Gehäuses 2 gebildet.The
Das Verbindungselement 12 ist dabei innerhalb der - mit Bezug auf die Ebene - normalen Projektion der Zugangsöffnung 6 angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist ermöglicht, dass sich das, auf dem Trägerbauteil 16 fixierte Verbindungselement 12 durch Biegung des Trägerbauteils 16 grundsätzlich bis in die Zugangsöffnung 6 hinein bewegen lässt, so dass es die Zugangsöffnung 6 durchsetzt - und prinzipiell sogar noch darüber hinaus nach außen.The connecting
Wie aus
Wenn die Feuchtraumleuchte insgesamt länglich ist, kann die Zugangsöffnung 6 raumsparend an einem Endbereich der Feuchtraumleuchte ausgebildet sein. Zudem ist es in diesem Fall in der Praxis oft vorgesehen, mehrere entsprechende Feuchtraumleuchten der Länge nach in einer Reihe anzuordnen, so dass sich durch die Ausbildung der Zugangsöffnung 6 am Endbereich zwischen zwei benachbarten Feuchtraumleuchten vergleichsweise kurze Verbindungswege erzielen lassen. Besonders bevorzugt ist daher die Feuchtraumleuchte derart gestaltet, dass sie an dem gegenüberliegenden Endbereich eine weitere Zugangsöffnung aufweist, die analog zu der zuerst genannten Zugangsöffnung 6 gestaltet ist, sowie vorzugsweise eine weitere Durchgangsöffnung, die analog zu der zuerst genannten Durchgangsöffnung 8 gestaltet ist.If the wet room lamp is elongated overall, the access opening 6 can be designed to save space at one end of the wet room lamp. In addition, in practice it is often provided in this case to arrange a plurality of corresponding moisture-proof luminaires lengthwise in a row so that comparatively short connecting paths can be achieved by forming the access opening 6 at the end region between two adjacent wet-room luminaires. Therefore, the damp-proof luminaire is particularly preferably designed such that it has a further access opening at the opposite end region, which is designed analogously to the first-mentioned
Eine gute Biegemöglichkeit bei vergleichsweise raumsparender Ausführung ist erzielbar, wenn die Zugangsöffnung 6 eine längliche Form aufweist; insbesondere können die Längserstreckung der Feuchtraumleuchte und die Längserstreckung der Zugangsöffnung 6 dabei parallel verlaufend orientiert sein, beispielsweise parallel zu der Hauptachse S.A good bending possibility with a comparatively space-saving design can be achieved if the
Wie im gezeigten Beispiel der Fall, ist die Zugangsöffnung 6 vorteilhaft an einer Stelle im Gehäuse 2 ausgebildet, die der Abdeckung 4 gegenüberliegt, hier also in einer nach oben weisenden Deckenwand des Gehäuses 2.As in the example shown, the
Vorzugsweise ist die Durchgangsöffnung 8 lediglich zur Durchführung des Stromkabels 10 vorgesehen und dementsprechend klein gestaltet. Daher ist die Größe der Zugangsöffnung 6 vorzugsweise größer als die Größe der Durchgangsöffnung 8, beispielsweise größer als das Dreifache der Größe der Durchgangsöffnung 8.Preferably, the
Um die Feuchtraumleuchte insgesamt feuchtedicht gestalten zu können, weist sie weiterhin den oben bereits erwähnten Deckel auf, der derart gestaltet ist, dass er die Zugangsöffnung 6 entsprechend dicht, also insbesondere feuchtedicht verschließt. Selbstverständlich ist der Deckel vorzugsweise reversibel abnehmbar, um eine wiederholte Zugänglichkeit durch die Zugangsöffnung 6 hindurch zu dem Verbindungselement 12 zu ermöglichen.In order to make the moisture-proof lamp overall moisture-proof, it also has the above-mentioned cover, which is designed such that it closes the access opening 6 correspondingly tight, so in particular moisture-tight. Of course, the lid is preferably reversibly removable to allow repeated accessibility through the access opening 6 to the
