Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Beleuchtung derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine verbesserte Wärmeabfuhr vom Leuchtmittel erzielt ist.The invention has for its object to further develop the lighting so that improved heat dissipation is achieved by the light source.
Insbesondere soll ausgehend von der bekannten LED-Trommelbeleuchtung ein Konzept entwickelt werden, das im wesentlichen die folgenden Nachteile vermeidet:
- Verbesserung der Entwärmung der LED, damit diese mit höheren Stromstärken betrieben werden kann, womit wiederum die Lichtausbeute erhöht werden kann.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Beleuchtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in a generic lighting by the characterizing features of
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtung umfasst das Halteteil ein längliches Stabelement. An dem einen Ende des Stabelements ist die Tasche und an dem anderen Ende des Stabelements ein Steck- und/oder Lötanschluss angeformt. Die Länge des Stabelements lässt sich dann in flexibler Weise an die Länge des Sockels anpassen. Die Größe des Sockels, der letztendlich als Kühlkörper für die Beleuchtung dient, lässt sich dann wiederum entsprechend den jeweiligen Erfordernissen für die Entwärmung der Beleuchtung in einfacher Weise bestimmen. Der einfachen Befestigung halber für die Leiterplatte ist die Tasche, in die die Leiterplatte zur Befestigung eingesteckt ist, hakenförmig ausgestaltet. Zur Einsparung von weiteren Bauteilen dient das Halteteil gleichzeitig der Zuführung der elektrischen Spannung für das Leuchtmittel. Hierzu ist die Leiterplatte an der an dem einen Ende befindlichen Tasche elektrisch kontaktiert.In the illumination according to the invention, the holding part comprises an elongated rod element. At one end of the rod element, the pocket and at the other end of the rod element, a plug and / or solder connection is formed. The length of the rod element can then be flexibly adapted to the length of the socket. The size of the base, which ultimately serves as a heat sink for lighting, can then in turn be determined according to the respective requirements for the cooling of the lighting in a simple manner. The simple attachment of half for the circuit board is the bag, in which the circuit board is plugged in for attachment, hook-shaped. In order to save additional components, the holding part simultaneously serves to supply the electrical voltage for the lighting means. For this purpose, the printed circuit board is electrically contacted at the pocket located at one end.
Somit ist die zuverlässige Entwärmung des Leuchtmittels über das Halteteil und den Sockel an die Umgebungsluft und/oder an das Hausgerät an sich sichergestellt, was wiederum vorteilhafterweise die Lebensdauer des Leuchtmittels erhöht. Zudem handelt es sich hierbei um eine besonders kompakte Anordnung, die für beengte Einbauverhältnisse der Beleuchtung im Hausgerät geeignet ist. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Thus, the reliable cooling of the light source via the holding part and the base to the ambient air and / or to the household appliance itself is ensured, which in turn advantageously increases the life of the light source. In addition, this is a particularly compact arrangement, which is suitable for cramped installation conditions of the lighting in the household appliance. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Am anderen Ende des Halteteils ist der Steck- und/oder Lötanschluss für die einfache Kontaktierung mit der Spannungsversorgung, also zum Anschluss an die elektrische Versorgungsspannung, angeformt. Zweckmäßigerweise ist dann die Leiterplatte mittels zwei Halteteilen elektrisch kontaktiert und/oder mechanisch befestigt. Der Einfachheit halber bietet es dabei an, dass die beiden Halteteile im wesentlichen identisch ausgestaltet sind.At the other end of the holding part of the plug and / or solder connection for easy contacting with the power supply, ie for connection to the electrical supply voltage is formed. Appropriately, then the circuit board is electrically contacted by two holding parts and / or mechanically attached. For the sake of simplicity, it offers the fact that the two holding parts are designed substantially identical.
Zum Schutz des Leuchtmittels bietet es sich an, dass ein Deckel auf den Sockel aufgesetzt ist. Der Sockel und der Deckel bilden dann ein Gehäuse für die Beleuchtung. Zweckmäßigerweise kann zum weiteren Schutz an der der Leiterplatte zugewandten Vorderseite eine lichtdurchlässige Schutzkappe aufgesetzt sein, deren Größe in flexibler Art und Weise der Einbausituation im Hausgerät entsprechend angepasst werden kann.To protect the bulb, it is advisable that a lid is placed on the base. The base and lid then form a housing for the lighting. Conveniently, for further protection on the front side facing the printed circuit board, a light-permeable protective cap can be placed, the size of which can be adapted in a flexible manner to the installation situation in the household appliance.
Bevorzugterweise besteht das Leuchtmittel aus einer kostengünstigen sowie langlebigen Leuchtdiode (LED). Der einfachen und/oder automatisierbaren Montage halber bietet es sich an, dass die Leuchtdiode als ein SMD(surface mounted device)-Bauteil auf die Leiterplatte aufgelötet ist. An der Leiterplatte können desweiteren zwei Kontaktflächen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung durch die Halteteile vorgesehen sein. Zwecks Kompaktheit der Beleuchtung ist die Grundfläche der Leiterplatte lediglich unwesentlich größer als diejenige des Leuchtmittels. Hierzu weist die Leiterplatte eine Grundfläche auf, deren Größe im wesentlichen der Summe der Flächen des Leuchtmittels und der Kontaktflächen entspricht.Preferably, the lamp consists of a low-cost and durable LED (LED). For simple and / or automatable assembly, it is advisable that the light-emitting diode is soldered onto the printed circuit board as an SMD (surface mounted device) component. Furthermore, two contact surfaces for making electrical contact with the holding parts can be provided on the printed circuit board. For the sake of compactness of the illumination, the base area of the printed circuit board is only insignificantly larger than that of the illuminant. For this purpose, the circuit board on a base surface whose size corresponds substantially to the sum of the surfaces of the lamp and the contact surfaces.
Der einfachen Herstellbarkeit halber kann das Halteteil als ein Stanz- und/oder Biege-Element ausgebildet sein. Man erhält folglich ein sehr flexibel anpassbares Konzept für die Beleuchtung in unterschiedlichen Hausgeräten.For ease of manufacture, the holding part can be formed as a punching and / or bending element. Consequently, a very flexibly adaptable concept for the lighting in different domestic appliances is obtained.
Eine gute Ausleuchtung des gewünschten Bereichs im Hausgerät ist häufig dadurch gegeben, indem die Leiterplatte im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Halteteils, insbesondere also senkrecht zum Stabelement des Halteteils, angeordnet ist. Falls es jedoch die Einbausituation im Hausgerät erfordert, kann die Leiterplatte auch geneigt zur Längsachse des Halteteils, insbesondere also geneigt zum Stabelement des Halteteils, angeordnet sein. Zweckmäßigerweise besteht das Halteteil aus Metall, womit eine gute Wärmeleitfähigkeit vom Leuchtmittel zu dem als Kühlfläche dienenden Sockel gegeben ist. In kostengünstiger Weise bestehen der Sockel und/oder der Deckel und/oder die Schutzkappe aus Kunststoff. Die ungünstigere Wärmeleitung des Sockels aus Kunststoff lässt sich dabei durch eine Vergrößerung des Sockels, insbesondere in dessen Längsrichtung, in einfacher Weise ausgleichen. Bei dem Kunststoff für den Sockel und/oder den Deckel und/oder die Schutzkappe kann es sich um einen thermoplastischen Kunststoff handeln, womit diese Teile kostengünstig im Spritzgießverfahren herstellbar sind.A good illumination of the desired area in the domestic appliance is often given by the circuit board is arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holding part, in particular perpendicular to the rod member of the holding part. However, if it requires the installation situation in the domestic appliance, the printed circuit board can also be arranged inclined to the longitudinal axis of the holding part, in particular so inclined to the rod element of the holding part. Conveniently, the holding part made of metal, whereby a good thermal conductivity is given by the light source to serving as a cooling surface base. In a cost effective manner, the base and / or the lid and / or the protective cap made of plastic. The unfavorable heat conduction of the base made of plastic can be compensated by an enlargement of the base, in particular in the longitudinal direction, in a simple manner. In the plastic for the base and / or the lid and / or the protective cap may be a thermoplastic material, whereby these parts are inexpensive to produce by injection molding.
Für eine besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist nachfolgendes festzustellen. Geschaffen ist eine LED-Beleuchtung, bei welcher die LED auf einer kleinen Standard-Leiterplatte mittels eines SMD-Prozesses aufgelötet ist. Diese Leiterplatte besitzt eine Grundfläche, die nur unwesentlich größer als die LED selbst ist und neben den LED-Lötflächen nur zwei Kontaktflächen besitzt, über die die Leiterplatte kontaktiert werden kann. Die Kontaktierung erfolgt über zwei einfache Stanzteile, die jeweils an einem Ende eine Tasche besitzen, in die die Leiterplatte gesteckt und damit kontaktiert werden kann. Am anderen Ende können die Stanzteile zu Steck- und/oder Lötanschlüssen geformt sein. Um eine gute Wärmeableitung zu gewährleisten, werden die Stanzteile zwischen den Kunststoff-Gehäuseteilen so geklemmt, dass ein guter Wärmeübergang vom Stanzteil zu den Gehäuseteilen erfolgen kann.For a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is to be determined below. Created is an LED lighting, in which the LED is soldered on a small standard PCB by means of an SMD process. This circuit board has a base area which is only slightly larger than the LED itself and in addition to the LED solder pads has only two contact surfaces through which the circuit board can be contacted. The contacting takes place via two simple punched parts, each having at one end a pocket into which the printed circuit board can be inserted and thus contacted. At the other end, the stamped parts can be formed into plug and / or solder connections. To ensure good heat dissipation, the stamped parts are clamped between the plastic housing parts in such a way that good heat transfer from the stamped part to the housing parts can take place.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere in Folgendem:
- Es ist eine gute Entwärmung der LED über die Stanzteile und die Gehäuseteile gegeben. Dadurch ergibt sich gegenüber der bisherigen Beleuchtung eine Temperaturreduzierung an der LED von beispielsweise 20°K. Aufgrund der Verbesserung der Kühlwirkung kann somit das Gehäuse verkleinert und die Beleuchtung kompakter ausgestaltet werden. Es ist damit auch der Einsatz der Beleuchtung in Hausgeräten bei höheren Umgebungstemperaturen möglich. Alternativ ist auch die Verwendung einer kostengünstigeren LED mit geringerer Junction Temperatur für die Beleuchtung ermöglicht.
- Es ist eine einfache Anpassung an verschiedene LED-Typen durch Layout-Änderung der Leiterplatte ermöglicht.
- Durch die flexiblen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Stanzteile sind verschiedene Abstrahlrichtungen für die Wärme und/oder für das Licht des Leuchtmittels entsprechend den Einbaubedingungen realisierbar.
- Es ist ein wasserdichter Aufbau der Beleuchtung möglich, da die Wärmeabfuhr durch direkten Kontakt der Stanzteile mit der Außenwand des Gehäuses erfolgt.
- Die Herstellung der Beleuchtung erfolgt mittels kostengünstiger Standard-Herstellprozesse.
- Die Beleuchtung besitzt kompakte Außenabmessungen.
- There is a good heat dissipation of the LED over the stamped parts and the housing parts given. This results in comparison to the previous lighting, a temperature reduction on the LED, for example, 20 ° K. Due to the improvement in the cooling effect, the housing can thus be downsized and the lighting made more compact. It is thus also the use of lighting in home appliances at higher ambient temperatures possible. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a less expensive LED with a lower junction temperature for the illumination.
- It is a simple adaptation to different LED types by layout change of the printed circuit board allows.
- Due to the flexible design possibilities of the stamped parts different radiation directions for the heat and / or for the light of the lamp according to the installation conditions can be realized.
- It is a waterproof construction of the lighting possible, since the heat dissipation takes place by direct contact of the stamped parts with the outer wall of the housing.
- The production of the illumination takes place by means of inexpensive standard manufacturing processes.
- The lighting has compact external dimensions.
