Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einbauleuchte zur Befestigung in einer Öffnung einer Decke oder Wand.The present invention relates to a recessed luminaire for mounting in an opening of a ceiling or wall.

Derartige Einbauleuchten kommen häufig in einer großen Anzahl zur Innenbeleuchtung in Gebäuden zum Einsatz, um von der Decke oder Wand eines Raumes o.ä. einen bestimmten Raumbereich optimal auszuleuchten.Such recessed lights are often used in large numbers for indoor lighting in buildings to ou the ceiling or wall of a room. illuminate a certain area optimally.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine verbesserte Ausführungsform für eine solche Einbauleuchte anzugeben.It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved embodiment for such a recessed luminaire.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Patentansprüche.This object is solved by the subject matter of independent claim 1. Preferred embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte weist einen Trägerring auf, welcher an einem die Öffnung einfassenden Öffnungsrand anbringbar ist. Der Trägerring kann als separates Bauteil vor der Montage der eigentlichen Einbauleuchte an dem die Öffnung einfassenden Öffnungsrand angebracht werden. Die Montage des Trägerrings kann dann, falls sich die Öffnung in einer Decke befindet, von unten erfolgen, bzw. wenn die Öffnung in einer Wand vorgesehen ist, von einer Vorderseite aus erfolgen. In beiden Fällen bedeutet dies, dass die Öffnung für einen Monteur der Einbauleuchte leicht zugänglich ist und keine besonders aufwändigen Maßnahmen erforderlich sind, um den Trägerring an der Öffnung anzubringen. Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte kann also auf technisch einfache Weise und insbesondere mit geringem baulichem Aufwand montiert werden.The recessed luminaire according to the invention has a carrier ring which can be attached to an opening edge enclosing the opening. The support ring can be attached as a separate component prior to assembly of the actual recessed light to the opening edge bordering the opening. The mounting of the support ring can then, if the opening is in a ceiling, take place from below, or if the opening is provided in a wall, take place from a front side. In both cases, this means that the opening is easily accessible to a fitter of the recessed luminaire and no particularly complex measures are required to attach the support ring to the opening. The recessed luminaire according to the invention can therefore be mounted in a technically simple manner and in particular with little constructional effort.

Hierzu kann der Trägerring beispielsweise mittels geeigneter Winkelelemente, welche auf einer Rückseite der Decke bzw. Wand mittels Verschrauben an dieser befestigt sind, an der jeweiligen Wand bzw. Decke montiert werden. Der Trägerring kann dabei je nach Typ der zu montierenden Einbauleuchte in einem in der Öffnung montierten Zustand über die Öffnung der Decke bzw. Wand überstehen oder mit der Oberfläche der Decke bzw. Wand fluchten.For this purpose, the support ring, for example, by means of suitable angle elements which are mounted on a rear side of the ceiling or wall by screwing to this, be mounted on the respective wall or ceiling. Depending on the type of recessed luminaire to be mounted, the carrier ring can project beyond the opening of the ceiling or wall in a state mounted in the opening or be aligned with the surface of the ceiling or wall.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte umfasst des Weiteren einen Funktionsträger, der eine Befestigungsvorrichtung aufweist, mittels welcher der Funktionsträger in Umfangsrichtung drehbar an dem Trägerring befestigt ist. An dem Funktionsträger selbst ist eine Leuchteinheit befestigt, mittels welcher ein Raumbereich unterhalb der Decke bzw. seitlich der Wand ausgeleuchtet werden kann. Die Drehbarkeit des Funktionsträgers ermöglicht eine optimierte Justage der an diesem befestigten Leuchteinheit und somit auch eine einfache und präzise geometrische Ausrichtung des von der Leuchteinheit erzeugten Lichtkegels. Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte ermöglicht die Befestigung der Leuchteinheit sowie des Reflektorelements, bevor der Funktionsträger an dem Trägerring befestigt wird. Selbst nach einer solchen Befestigung des Funktionsträgers und damit der Leuchteinheit sowie eines Reflektorelements an dem Trägerring bleibt der Funktionsträger in Umfangsrichtung drehbar. Somit kann die Leuchteinheit, insbesondere bezüglich eines von ihr erzeugten Lichtkegels, auch nach der Montage des Funktionsträgers an dem Trägerring ausgerichtet werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte kann also auf sehr einfache Weise an der jeweiligen Öffnung der Decke bzw. Wand montiert werden und erlaubt auch nach der Montage eine sehr flexible Justage der Leuchteinheit durch Drehen des Funktionsträgers in Umfangsrichtung.The recessed luminaire according to the invention further comprises a function carrier having a fastening device, by means of which the function carrier is rotatably mounted in the circumferential direction on the support ring. At the function carrier itself a lighting unit is attached, by means of which a space below the ceiling or the side of the wall can be illuminated. The rotatability of the function carrier allows an optimized adjustment of the lighting unit attached to this and thus also a simple and precise geometric orientation of the light cone generated by the light unit. The recessed luminaire according to the invention allows the attachment of the lighting unit and the reflector element, before the function carrier is attached to the support ring. Even after such an attachment of the function carrier and thus the lighting unit and a reflector element on the support ring of the function carrier remains rotatable in the circumferential direction. Thus, the light unit, in particular with respect to a light cone generated by it, be aligned with the support ring after assembly of the function carrier. The recessed luminaire according to the invention can therefore be mounted in a very simple manner to the respective opening of the ceiling or wall and allows even after installation a very flexible adjustment of the lighting unit by turning the function carrier in the circumferential direction.

Zur Erzeugung einer verbesserten räumlichen Abstrahlungscharakteristik umfasst die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte neben der Leuchteinheit auch ein lösbar an dem Funktionsträger befestigtes Reflektorelement zur Reflexion von von der Leuchteinheit emittiertem und auf das Reflektorelement treffendem Licht. Das Reflektorelement ist dabei vorzugsweise derart an dem Funktionsträger befestigt, dass von der Leuchteinheit vom zu beleuchtenden Raumbereich weg emittiertes Licht wieder in Richtung dieses Raumbereichs hin reflektiert wird. Auf diese Weise wird die Lichteffizienz der gesamten Einbauleuchte erheblich gesteigert.To produce an improved spatial radiation characteristic, the recessed luminaire according to the invention also comprises, in addition to the luminous unit, a reflector element which is fastened detachably to the functional carrier for the purpose of reflecting off the Luminous unit emitted and striking the reflector element light. In this case, the reflector element is preferably fastened to the function carrier in such a way that light emitted away from the lighting unit from the room area to be illuminated is reflected again in the direction of this spatial area. In this way, the light efficiency of the entire recessed luminaire is significantly increased.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Befestigungsvorrichtung als ClipVerbindung ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise kann der Funktionsträger sehr schnell und dennoch mechanisch stabil an dem Trägerring befestigt werden. Gleichzeitig erlaubt eine solche Clip-Verbindung das erfindungsgemäße Drehen des Funktionsträgers in Umfangsrichtung, wenn der Funktionsträger bereits an dem Trägerring befestigt ist. Zudem ermöglicht die Clip-Verbindung auch eine einfache Demontage des Funktionsträgers von dem Trägerring, beispielsweise wenn die Leuchteinheit oder/und das Reflektorelement gereinigt oder repariert werden soll.In a preferred embodiment, the fastening device may be formed as a clip connection. In this way, the function carrier can be attached very quickly and yet mechanically stable to the support ring. At the same time allows such a clip connection according to the invention rotating the function carrier in the circumferential direction, when the function carrier is already attached to the support ring. In addition, the clip connection also allows easy disassembly of the function carrier of the support ring, for example, when the light unit and / or the reflector element to be cleaned or repaired.

In einer weiterbildenden und technisch besonders einfach zu realisierenden Ausführungsform kann die Clip-Verbindung mindestens ein in eine radiale Richtung des Funktionsträgers vorgespanntes Einrastelement umfassen, welches zum Halten des Funktionsträgers an dem Trägerring mit einem an diesem vorgesehenen komplementären Halteelement verrastet sein kann. Ein derartiger Rastmechanismus erlaubt eine besonders einfache und zuverlässige Montage des Funktionsträgers an dem Trägerring, da ein Einrasten des vorgespannten Einrastelements in das Halteelement des Trägerrings bei der Montage des Funktionsträgers am Trägerring haptisch oder/und akustisch von einem Werker wahrgenommen werden kann. Mittels eines einfachen Ausrastens des Einrastelements aus dem Halteelement des Trägerrings durch einen Werker kann der Funktionsträger schnell und einfach wieder von dem Trägerring entfernt werden.In a further development and embodiment which is technically particularly easy to implement, the clip connection can comprise at least one latching element which is prestressed in a radial direction of the function carrier and which can be latched to hold the function carrier on the carrier ring with a complementary holding element provided on it. Such a locking mechanism allows a particularly simple and reliable mounting of the function carrier on the support ring, as a snap of the prestressed latching element in the holding element of the carrier ring during assembly of the function carrier on the support ring haptically and / or acoustically perceived by a worker. By means of a simple disengagement of the latching element from the holding element of the carrier ring by a worker, the function carrier can be quickly and easily removed again from the carrier ring.

In einer technisch besonders einfach und somit auch besonders kostengünstig zu realisierenden Ausführungsform kann der Funktionsträger einen Grundkörper aufweisen, wobei das jeweilige Einrastelement als wenigstens ein von dem Grundkörper axial abstehender Rastkörper mit radialer Rastkontur ausgebildet sein kann, welcher zum Entfernen des Funktionsträgers aus dem Trägerring unter Aufwendung einer externen Kraft elastisch radial nach innen drückbar ist. Ein derartiges Einrastelement erlaubt ein unkompliziertes Entfernen des Funktionsträgers vom Trägerring, falls dies beispielsweise zu Wartungszwecken erforderlich sein sollte. Selbstverständlich kann an dem Funktionsträger bzw. Trägerring mehr als ein Einrastelement bzw. Halteelement vorgesehen sein. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher zwei gegenüberliegende Einrastelemente bzw. Haltelemente vorgesehen sind.In a technically particularly simple and thus also particularly cost-effective to implement embodiment, the function carrier may have a base body, wherein the respective latching element may be formed as at least one of the main body axially projecting locking body with radial locking contour, which for removing the functional support from the support ring with expenditure an external force is elastically radially inwardly pressed. Such a latching element allows uncomplicated removal of the functional carrier from the carrier ring, if this should be necessary for maintenance purposes, for example. Of course, more than one latching element or holding element can be provided on the function carrier or carrier ring. Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which two opposite latching elements or holding elements are provided.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Clip-Verbindung zwei in einer Umfangsrichtung des Funktionsträgers gegenüberliegende Einrastelemente aufweisen, welche jeweils einen Rastkörper enthalten. Entsprechend sind dann auch zwei gegenüberliegende Halteelemente am Trägerring vorgesehen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the clip connection can have two latching elements located opposite one another in a circumferential direction of the functional carrier, each of which contains a latching body. Accordingly, then two opposite holding elements are provided on the support ring.

In einer bevorzugten, fertigungstechnisch besonders einfach zu realisierenden Ausführungsform ist der Grundkörper als Hohlzylinder ausgebildet, die beiden Rastkörper hingegen als Einrastdome, die axial vom Hohlzylinder abstehen.In a preferred, manufacturing technology particularly easy to implement embodiment of the base body is designed as a hollow cylinder, the two latching body, however, as Einrastdome which protrude axially from the hollow cylinder.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist in jedem Einrastdom eine Griffmulde vorgesehen, die als sich radial nach innen und entlang der axialen Richtung erstreckende Ausnehmung ausgebildet ist. Eine solche Griffmulde erleichtert es einem Werker, die Clipverbindung zwischen Trägerring und Funktionsträger durch Zusammendrücken der beiden Einrastdome zu lösen.According to an advantageous development, a grip recess is provided in each latching dome, which is designed as a radially inwardly and along the axial direction extending recess. Such a recessed grip makes it easier for a worker to solve the clip connection between the carrier ring and function carrier by squeezing the two Einrastdome.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist daher jede der beiden Griffmulden zur Aufnahme eines menschlichen Fingers ausgebildet.Therefore, each of the two recessed grips is particularly suitable for receiving a human finger.

In einer mechanisch besonders stabilen, weiterbildenden Ausführungsform kann das Einrastelement jeweils integral am Funktionsträger ausgeformt sein.In a mechanically particularly stable, further developing embodiment, the latching element can each be formed integrally on the function carrier.

In einer weiterbildenden Ausführungsform kann die Leuchteinheit eine zu der axialen Achse des Funktionsträgers korrespondierende axiale Achse aufweisen und wenigstens eine der folgenden Komponenten umfassen:

  1. a) Zumindest ein Leuchtmittel zur Emission von Licht,
  2. b) Eine elektronische/elektrische Steuerungseinheit zur Ansteuerung des Leuchtmittels,
  3. c) Einen Kühlkörper zur Kühlung des Leuchtmittels.
In a further embodiment, the lighting unit may have an axial axis corresponding to the axial axis of the function carrier and comprise at least one of the following components:
  1. a) at least one light source for emitting light,
  2. b) An electronic / electrical control unit for controlling the lighting means,
  3. c) A heat sink for cooling the bulb.

Da alle diese Komponenten Teil der Leuchteinheit sind, werden diese als Ganzes an dem Funktionsträger befestigt und der Funktionsträger wiederum, wie bereits erläutert, an dem Trägerring montiert. Ein derart modularer Aufbau der gesamten Einbauleuchte ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage einer viele Einzelkomponenten aufweisenden Einbauleuchte. Um einem Werker der Einbauleuchte eine Ausrichtung bzw. Justage des von der Leuchteinheit erzeugten Lichtkegels auch nach dem Befestigen des Funktionsträgers einschließlich der Leuchteinheit an dem Trägerring zu ermöglichen, kann die Leuchteinheit mittels einer Kippvorrichtung relativ zum Funktionsträger in einer vorbestimmten Kipp-Ebene zwischen einer koaxialen Position, in welcher die axialen Achsen des Funktionsträgers und der Leuchteinheit koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind, und einer maximalen Kipp-Position kippbar sein, in welcher die beiden axialen Achsen in einem maximalen Kippwinkel zueinander angeordnet sind.Since all these components are part of the light unit, they are attached as a whole to the function carrier and the function carrier in turn, as already explained, mounted on the carrier ring. Such a modular construction of the entire recessed luminaire allows a particularly simple installation of a recessed luminaire having many individual components. In order to allow an operator of the recessed light alignment or adjustment of the light cone generated by the light unit even after attaching the function carrier including the light unit to the support ring, the light unit by means of a tilting device relative to the function carrier in a predetermined tilt plane between a coaxial position in which the axial axes of the function carrier and the lighting unit are arranged coaxially with each other, and a maximum tilting position can be tilted, in which the two axial axes are arranged at a maximum tilt angle to each other.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt der maximale Kippwinkel in der vorbestimmten Kipp-Ebene ca. 30°. Mittels einer derartigen Begrenzung des maximal möglichen Kippwinkels lässt sich die Leuchteinheit technisch einfach aufgebaut halten, was sich günstig auf die Herstellungskosten der Einbauleuchte auswirkt.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the maximum tilt angle in the predetermined tilt plane is approximately 30 °. By means of such a limitation of the maximum possible tilt angle, the lighting unit can be technically simple built up, which has a favorable effect on the manufacturing cost of the recessed luminaire.

Nach erfolgter Montage des Funktionsträgers samt Leuchteinheit an dem Trägerring und nach einer damit verbundenen Justage des von der Leuchteinheit erzeugten Lichtkegels ist es im Praxiseinsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauleuchte wünschenswert, dass der derart justierte Lichtkegel nicht auf unerwünschte Weise verstellt wird. Zu diesem Zweck kann die Kippvorrichtung in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ein Fixierelement umfassen, mittels welchem die Leuchteinheit am Funktionsträger unter dem eingestellten Kippwinkel fixierbar ist.After the assembly of the function carrier including light unit on the support ring and an associated adjustment of the light cone generated by the light unit, it is desirable in practice of the recessed luminaire according to the invention that the thus adjusted light cone is not adjusted in an undesired manner. For this purpose, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the tilting device may comprise a fixing element, by means of which the lighting unit can be fixed to the function carrier at the set tilting angle.

Eine konstruktiv besonders einfach zu realisierende Ausführungsform ergibt sich, wenn die Kippvorrichtung mit wenigstens einem in der Leuchteinheit vorgesehenes Langloch ausgestattet wird, und als Fixierelement eine Befestigungsschraube, etwa eine Rändelschraube, herangezogen wird. Zur Aufnahme der Befestigungsschraube umfasst der Funktionsträger eine entsprechende Gewindebohrung.A structurally particularly easy to implement embodiment results when the tilting device is provided with at least one provided in the lighting unit slot, and as fixing a fastening screw, such as a thumbscrew, is used. To accommodate the fastening screw of the function carrier includes a corresponding threaded hole.

Folglich durchgreift die Befestigungsschraube in einem am Funktionsträger fixierten Zustand der Leuchteinheit das Langloch und in der Gewindebohrung aufgenommen ist, so dass Befestigungsschraube die Leuchteinheit gegen den Funktionsträger drückt.Consequently, the fastening screw passes through the oblong hole and is received in the threaded bore in a state of the lighting unit fixed to the functional carrier, so that the fastening screw presses the lighting unit against the function carrier.

Die gewünschte Verstellbarkeit des Kippwinkels lässt sich konstruktiv besonders einfach realisieren, indem das Langloch bezüglich einer Draufsicht gekrümmt ausgebildet wird.The desired adjustability of the tilt angle can be structurally particularly easy to implement by the slot is formed curved with respect to a plan view.

Zu Reinigungszwecken kann es erforderlich sein, das Reflektorelement separat von den anderen Bauteilen der Einbauleuchte vom Funktionsträger zu demontieren. Zu diesem Zweck kann in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform das Reflektorelement mittels einer Clip-Verbindung an dem Funktionsträgerteil lösbar befestigt sein.For cleaning purposes, it may be necessary to disassemble the reflector element separately from the other components of the recessed light from the function carrier. For this purpose, in a preferred embodiment, the reflector element be releasably secured by means of a clip connection to the function carrier part.

Um einem Werker der Einbauleuchte die Montage auch einer sehr großen Anzahl an solchen Einbauleuchten zu erleichtern, kann der Funktionsträger in einer weiterbildenden Ausführungsform derart ausgebildet sein, dass er mit daran angebrachter Leuchteinheit durch die Öffnung hindurch an einem bereits am Öffnungsrand befestigten Trägerring angebaut wird.In order to facilitate a worker of the recessed luminaire mounting a very large number of such recessed lights, the function carrier may be formed in a further embodiment, such that it is mounted with attached light unit through the opening at an already attached to the opening edge carrier ring.

Entsprechend kann in einer weiterbildenden Ausführungsform auch das Reflektorelement durch die Öffnung hindurch an den bereits am Trägerring befestigten Funktionsträger angebaut werden.Accordingly, in a further embodiment, the reflector element can be grown through the opening to the already attached to the support ring function carrier.

In der Figur 1 ist ein Trägerring einer erfindungsgemäßen Einbauleuchte 1, welche in einer Öffnung einer Decke oder Wand befestigt werden kann, dargestellt und mit 2 bezeichnet. Die Figur 5 zeigt die gesamte erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte 1 in einer Explosionsdarstellung. Ferner zeigt die Fig. 6 die Einbauleuchte 1 in einem an einer Decke 5 montierten Zustand.In the FIG. 1 is a support ring of a recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention, which can be fixed in an opening of a ceiling or wall, shown and designated 2. The FIG. 5 shows the entire recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention in an exploded view. Furthermore, the shows Fig. 6 the recessed light 1 in a mounted on a ceiling 5 state.

Der Trägerring 2 ist an einem die Öffnung 3 einfassenden Öffnungsrand 4 anbringbar (vgl. Fig. 6). Eine solche Öffnung 3 samt Öffnungsrand 4 ist der Übersichtlichkeit halber in der Figur 1 nicht gezeigt, wird nachfolgend jedoch im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 6 noch genauer erläutert werden.The carrier ring 2 can be attached to an opening edge 4 bordering the opening 3 (cf. Fig. 6 ). Such an opening 3 including opening edge 4 is for clarity in the FIG. 1 not shown below but in connection with the FIG. 6 will be explained in more detail.

Der Trägerring 2 kann als separates Bauteil vor der Montage der eigentlichen Einbauleuchte 1 an dem die Öffnung 3 einfassenden Öffnungsrand 4 angebracht werden. Dies ist in der Darstellung der Figur 6 gezeigt, welche die komplette Einbauleuchte 1 in einem an der Decke 5 montierten Zustand zeigt. Die Montage des Trägerrings 2 kann von unten erfolgen, sodass der für die Montage der Einbauleuchte 1 relevante Umgebungsbereich der Öffnung 3 von einem Werker ohne größeren Aufwand zugänglich ist. Der Trägerring 2 lässt sich also auf technisch einfache Weise und mit geringem baulichem Aufwand montieren. Zur Befestigung an der Öffnung 3 kann der Trägerring 2 beispielsweise mittels geeigneter Winkelelemente 6, welcher auf einer Rückseite der Decke 5 mittels Verschrauben an dieser befestigt sind, an der Decke 5 montiert werden. Das Verschrauben der Winkelelemente 6 an der Decke 5 kann von unten erfolgen. Hierfür kann beispielsweise in einer entsprechenden Position in der Decke 5 (bzw. Wand) eine Bohrung vorgesehen werden, so dass diese auf eine entsprechende, im jeweiligen Winkelelement vorgesehene Durchgangsöffnung mit Innengewinde o.ä. trifft. Auf diese Weise kann eine Schraube durch die Bohrung in der Decke in das Winkelelement eingeschraubt werden. Abschließend kann der Schraubenkopf mit der Decke bzw. Wand verspachtelt werden.The carrier ring 2 can be attached as a separate component prior to assembly of the actual recessed luminaire 1 to the opening edge 3 bordering the opening edge 4. This is in the presentation of FIG. 6 shown, which shows the complete recessed light 1 in a mounted on the ceiling 5 state. The mounting of the carrier ring 2 can be done from below, so that the relevant for the installation of the recessed light 1 surrounding region of the opening 3 is accessible by a worker without much effort. The support ring 2 can therefore be mounted in a technically simple manner and with little constructional effort. For attachment to the opening 3 of the support ring 2, for example by means of suitable angle elements 6, which are mounted on a back of the ceiling 5 by screwing to this, are mounted on the ceiling 5. The screwing of the angle elements 6 on the ceiling 5 can be done from below. For this purpose, for example, in a corresponding position in the ceiling 5 (or wall), a bore can be provided so that they o.ä to a corresponding, provided in the respective angle element through hole with internal thread. meets. In this way, a screw can be screwed through the hole in the ceiling in the angle element. Finally, the screw head can be filled with the ceiling or wall.

Der Trägerring 2 fluchtet im montierten Zustand in der Öffnung 3 mit der Decke 15. In einer Variante kann der Trägerring 2 aber auch über die Öffnung 3 der Decke 5 bzw. Wand überstehen. In diesem Fall kann die Befestigung des Trägerrings 2 an der Decke mittels in der Figur 5 gezeigter Befestigungsklammern 20 erfolgen, mittels welcher eingestellt werden kann, wie weit der Trägerring 2 über die Decke 5 bzw. Wand vorstehen soll. Die Befestigungsklammern 20 ersetzen also in dieser Variante die in der Figur 6 gezeigten Winkelelemente 6.The carrier ring 2 is aligned in the mounted state in the opening 3 with the ceiling 15. In a variant of the support ring 2 but also beyond the opening 3 of the ceiling 5 and wall protrude. In this case, the attachment of the support ring 2 on the ceiling by means of in the FIG. 5 shown fastening brackets 20 done by means of which can be adjusted how far the support ring 2 via the ceiling 5 or wall projecting. The mounting brackets 20 so replace in this variant in the FIG. 6 Angle elements 6 shown.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte 1 umfasst nun des Weiteren einen Funktionsträger 8, der wiederum eine Befestigungsvorrichtung aufweist, mittels welcher der Funktionsträger 8 in Umfangsrichtung U drehbar an dem Trägerring befestigbar ist. Der Funktionsträger 8 ist in der Figur 1 in einem nicht an dem Trägerring befestigten Zustand separat dargestellt. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung kann als Clip-Verbindung 9 ausgebildet sein. Mittels einer solchen Clip-Verbindung 9 kann der Funktionsträger 8 sehr schnell und dennoch mechanisch stabil an dem Trägerring befestigt werden. Gleichzeitig erlaubt eine solche Clip-Verbindung 9 das erfindungsgemäße Drehen des Funktionsträgers 8 in Umfangsrichtung U, wenn der Funktionsträger 8 bereits, wie in der Figur 2 gezeigt, an dem Trägerring 2 befestigt ist. Zudem ermöglicht die Clip-Verbindung 9 auch eine einfache Demontage des Funktionsträgers 8 vom Trägerring 2, beispielsweise wenn an der Einbauleuchte 1 Reparatur- oder Reinigungsarbeiten durchgeführt werden sollen.The recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention now further comprises a function carrier 8, which in turn has a fastening device, by means of which the function carrier 8 in the circumferential direction U is rotatably attachable to the support ring. The function carrier 8 is in the FIG. 1 shown separately in a non-attached to the support ring state. The fastening device may be formed as a clip connection 9. By means of such a clip connection 9, the function carrier 8 can be attached to the carrier ring very quickly and yet mechanically stably. At the same time allows such a clip connection 9, the inventive rotation of the function carrier 8 in the circumferential direction U, when the function carrier 8 already, as in the FIG. 2 shown, is attached to the support ring 2. In addition, the clip connection 9 also allows a simple disassembly of the function carrier 8 from the carrier ring 2, for example, when 1 repair or cleaning work to be performed on the recessed light.

Die Clip-Verbindung 9 ist nun in der Figur 2 in einer isometrischen Darstellung genauer dargestellt, welche den Funktionsträger 8 als separates Bauteil der Einbauleuchte 1 zeigt. Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen zur Verdeutlichung den Trägerring 2 und den Funktionsträger 8 jeweils in einem Längsschnitt. Die Clip-Vorrichtung 8 umfasst zwei in eine radiale Richtung R des Funktionsträgers 8 vorgespannte Einrastelemente 10, welche jeweils zum Halten des Funktionsträgers 8 an dem Trägerring 2 mit einem an diesem vorgesehenen komplementären Halteelement 11 verrastet sein können. Die Figur 3 zeigt die Einrastelemente 10 in einem solchen, an den Haltelementen 11 verrasteten Zustand.The clip connection 9 is now in the FIG. 2 shown in more detail in an isometric view, which shows the function carrier 8 as a separate component of the recessed luminaire 1. The FIGS. 3 and 4 show for clarity the support ring 2 and the function carrier 8 in a longitudinal section respectively. The clip device 8 comprises two latching elements 10, which are prestressed in a radial direction R of the function carrier 8 and which can each be latched for holding the function carrier 8 on the carrier ring 2 with a complementary holding element 11 provided thereon. The FIG. 3 shows the latching elements 10 in such, latched to the holding elements 11 state.

Die beiden Einrastelemente 10 können grundsätzlich jeweils integral am Funktionsträger 8 ausgeformt sein oder, alternativ dazu, als separate Bauteile ausgebildet sein, die an dem Funktionsträger 8 lösbar befestigt sind. Selbstverständlich kann in Varianten auch eine andere Anzahl an Einrastelementen 10 vorgesehen sein. Falls, wie in den Figuren 2 bis 4, gezeigt zwei Einrastelemente 10 verwendet werden, sind diese vorzugsweise in der Umfangsrichtung U des Funktionsträgers 8 gegenüberliegend angeordnet. Entsprechend sind am Trägerring 2 umlaufend Halteelemente 11 vorgesehen.In principle, the two latching elements 10 can each be formed integrally on the function carrier 8 or, alternatively, be designed as separate components which are detachably fastened to the function carrier 8. Of course In variants, a different number of latching elements 10 may also be provided. If, as in the FIGS. 2 to 4 , shown two latching elements 10 are used, they are preferably arranged opposite in the circumferential direction U of the function carrier 8. According to the carrier ring 2 circumferentially holding elements 11 are provided.

Der mittels der Einrastelemente 10 realisierte Rastmechanismus erlaubt eine besonders einfache und zuverlässige Montage des Funktionsträgers 8 an dem Trägerring 2, da ein Einrasten des vorgespannten Einrastelements 10 in das Halteelement 11 des Trägerrings 2 bei der Montage des Funktionsträgers 8 am Trägerring 2 haptisch oder/und akustisch vom Werker wahrgenommen werden kann.The latching mechanism realized by means of the latching elements 10 allows a particularly simple and reliable mounting of the functional carrier 8 on the carrier ring 2, since a latching of the prestressed latching element 10 into the holding element 11 of the carrier ring 2 during the assembly of the functional carrier 8 on the carrier ring 2 haptically and / or acoustically can be perceived by the worker.

In dem in den Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Funktionsträger 8 einen Grundkörper 12 auf. Das jeweilige Einrastelement 10 ist als wenigstens ein vom Grundkörper 12 in axialer Richtung A abstehender Rastkörper 13 mit radialer Rastkontur ausgebildet, welcher zum Entfernen des Funktionsträgers 8 aus dem Trägerring 2 unter Aufwendung einer externen Kraft elastisch radial nach innen (vgl. Pfeile P in der Figur 3), also entgegengesetzt der radialen Richtung R, drückbar ist. Mittels eines solchen manuellen Ausrastens der Einrastelemente 10 aus dem jeweiligen Halteelement 11 des Trägerrings 2 kann der Funktionsträger 8 schnell und einfach wieder von dem Trägerring 2 entfernt werden, was in der Darstellung der Figur 3 gezeigt ist. Die Figur 3 zeigt den Funktionsträger 8 nach durchgeführtem manuellem Ausrasten durch Zusammendrücken der Rastkörper 13. Die Einrastelemente 10 erlauben also ein unkompliziertes Entfernen des Funktionsträgers 8 vom Trägerring 2, falls dies beispielsweise zu Wartungszwecken erforderlich sein sollte.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the function carrier 8 has a main body 12. The respective latching element 10 is formed as at least one protruding from the base body 12 in the axial direction A detent body 13 with radial locking contour, which for removing the function carrier 8 from the support ring 2 by applying an external force elastically radially inwardly (see arrows P in the FIG. 3 ), ie opposite to the radial direction R, can be pressed. By means of such a manual disengagement of the latching elements 10 from the respective holding element 11 of the carrier ring 2, the function carrier 8 can be quickly and easily removed again from the carrier ring 2, which in the illustration of FIG. 3 is shown. The FIG. 3 shows the function carrier 8 after performed manual disengagement by squeezing the locking body 13. The latching elements 10 thus allow an uncomplicated removal of the function carrier 8 from the support ring 2, if this should be necessary, for example for maintenance purposes.

Besonders zweckmäßig kann der Grundkörper 12 als Hohlzylinder ausgebildet werden, derart, dass die beiden Rastkörper 13 in Form jeweiliger Einrastdome 23a, 23b axial vom Hohlzylinder abstehen. Der Figur 2 entnimmt man, dass in jedem Einrastdom 23a, 23b eine Griffmulde 19 vorgesehen ist, die als sich radial nach innen und entlang der axialen Richtung A erstreckende Ausnehmung ausgebildet ist und einem Werker das Zusammendrücken der beiden Einrastdome 23a, 2b nach innen erleichtert, wenn der Funktionsträger 8 vom Trägerring 2 ausgerastet, also entfernt werden soll. Für einen Werker besonders komfortabel gestaltet sich dies, wenn jede der beiden Griffmulden 19 zur Aufnahme eines menschlichen Fingers ausgebildet ist.Particularly suitably, the base body 12 may be formed as a hollow cylinder, such that the two locking body 13 protrude axially in the form of respective latching domes 23a, 23b from the hollow cylinder. Of the FIG. 2 you take that in everyone Einrastdom 23a, 23b a recessed grip 19 is provided which is formed as a radially inwardly and along the axial direction A extending recess and a worker facilitates the compression of the two Einrastdome 23a, 2b inside when the function carrier 8 is disengaged from the support ring 2, so should be removed. For a worker particularly comfortable, this is when each of the two recessed grips 19 is adapted to receive a human finger.

Betrachtet man nun wieder die Darstellung der Figur 6, so erkennt man, dass an dem Funktionsträger 8 eine Leuchteinheit 18 befestigt ist, mittels welcher ein Raumbereich unterhalb der Decke 5 ausgeleuchtet werden kann. Die oben erläuterte Drehbarkeit des Funktionsträgers 8 in Umfangsrichtung U ermöglicht eine optimierte Justage der Leuchteinheit 18 und somit auch eine einfache und präzise geometrische Ausrichtung des von der Leuchteinheit 18 erzeugten Lichtkegels.Looking again at the representation of the FIG. 6 , it can be seen that on the function carrier 8, a lighting unit 18 is attached, by means of which a space below the ceiling 5 can be illuminated. The above-explained rotation of the function carrier 8 in the circumferential direction U allows optimized adjustment of the light unit 18 and thus also a simple and precise geometric orientation of the light cone generated by the light unit 18.

Die Leuchteinheit 18 kann wenigstens eine der folgenden Komponenten umfassen:

  • zumindest ein Leuchtmittel zur Emission von Licht (nicht gezeigt),
  • eine elektronische/elektrische Steuerungseinheit zur Ansteuerung des Leuchtmittels (nicht gezeigt),
  • einen Kühlkörper 17 zur Kühlung des Leuchtmittels.
The lighting unit 18 may comprise at least one of the following components:
  • at least one light source for emitting light (not shown),
  • an electronic / electrical control unit for controlling the lighting means (not shown),
  • a heat sink 17 for cooling the lamp.

In einer Variante kann die elektronische/elektrische Steuerungseinheit auch als separates Bauteil ausgebildet sein, welches in einem Bereich um die Öffnung 3 auf der Decke abgelegt und elektrisch mit der Leuchteinheit 18 verbunden sein.In a variant, the electronic / electrical control unit may also be formed as a separate component, which is stored in an area around the opening 3 on the ceiling and electrically connected to the light unit 18.

Da alle diese Komponenten Teil der Leuchteinheit 18 sind, werden diese als Ganzes an dem Funktionsträger 8 befestigt und der Funktionsträger 8 wiederum, wie bereits erläutert, an dem Trägerring 2 montiert. Ein derart modularer Aufbau der gesamten Einbauleuchte 1 ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage der mehrere Einzelkomponenten aufweisenden Einbauleuchte 1.Since all these components are part of the lighting unit 18, they are attached as a whole to the function carrier 8 and the function carrier 8 in turn, as already explained, mounted on the support ring 2. Such a modular structure of entire recessed luminaire 1 enables a particularly simple installation of the recessed luminaire 1 having a plurality of individual components.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte 1 erlaubt die Befestigung der Leuchteinheit 18 sowie eines im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 5 und 6 im Folgenden erläuterten Reflektorelements 15, nachdem der Funktionsträger 8 an dem Trägerring 2 befestigt wird. Selbst nach einer solchen Befestigung des Funktionsträgers 8 und damit auch der Leuchteinheit 18 an dem Trägerring 2 bleibt der Funktionsträger 8 aber in Umfangsrichtung U drehbar. Somit kann die Leuchteinheit 18, insbesondere bezüglich eines von ihr erzeugten Lichtkegels, auch nach der Montage des Funktionsträgers 8 am Trägerring 2 ausgerichtet werden.The recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention allows the attachment of the lighting unit 18 and one in connection with the Figures 5 and 6 explained below reflector element 15 after the function carrier 8 is attached to the support ring 2. Even after such an attachment of the function carrier 8 and thus also the light unit 18 to the support ring 2, the function carrier 8 remains rotatable in the circumferential direction U. Thus, the lighting unit 18, in particular with respect to a light cone generated by it, even after the assembly of the function carrier 8 on the support ring 2 are aligned.

Um einem Werker eine solche Ausrichtung bzw. Justage des von der Leuchteinheit 18 erzeugten Lichtkegels auch nach dem Befestigen des Funktionsträgers 8 einschließlich der Leuchteinheit 18 an dem Trägerring 2 zu ermöglichen, kann die Leuchteinheit 18 mittels einer in der Figur 7 gezeigten Kippvorrichtung 16 relativ zum Funktionsträger 8 in einer vorbestimmten Kipp-Ebene K zwischen einer koaxialen Position, in welcher die axialen Achsen AF, AT des Funktionsträgers 8 bzw. der Leuchteinheit 18 koaxial zueinander angeordnet sind (vgl. Fig. 6), und einer in der Figur 7 gezeigten maximalen Kipp-Position kippbar sein, in welcher die beiden axialen Achsen AF, AT in einem maximalen Kippwinkel α zueinander angeordnet sind.To allow a worker such alignment or adjustment of the light cone generated by the light unit 18 even after attaching the function carrier 8 including the light unit 18 to the support ring 2, the light unit 18 by means of a in the FIG. 7 shown tilting device 16 relative to the function carrier 8 in a predetermined tilt plane K between a coaxial position in which the axial axes A F , A T of the function carrier 8 and the lighting unit 18 are arranged coaxially to each other (see. Fig. 6 ), and one in the FIG. 7 be shown tilted maximum tilt position, in which the two axial axes A F , A T are arranged at a maximum tilt angle α to each other.

In der Figur 8 ist eine technische Realisierungsmöglichkeit der Kipp-Vorrichtung 16 dargestellt. Die Kipp-Vorrichtung 16 kann gekrümmt ausgebildete Langlöcher 21 umfassen, welche an der Leuchteinheit 18 vorgesehen sind. In der Figur 8 ist der Übersichtlichkeit halber nur ein einziges solches Langloch 21 dargestellt. Entsprechend können am Funktionsträger 8 Gewindebohrungen zur Aufnahme einer jeweiligen Befestigungsschraube 22 vorgesehen sein. Zur Befestigung der Leuchteinheit 18 wird diese im gewünschten Kippwinkel am Funktionsträger 8 angeordnet, so dass die Befestigungsschraube 22 durch das Langloch 21 durchgeführt und eine am Funktionsträger 8 vorgesehene Gewindebohrung eingeschraubt werden kann. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Leuchteinheit 18 unter dem gewünschten Kipp-Winkel am Funktionsträger 8 fixieren. Die Befestigungsschraube 22 wirkt also in der Art eines Fixierelements. Die Befestigungsschraube 22 kann beispielsweise eine Rändelschraube sein. Im am Funktionsträger 8 fixierten Zustand der Leuchteinheit 18 durchgreift die Befestigungsschraube 22 das Langloch 21 und wird in der Gewindebohrung aufgenommen, so dass Befestigungsschraube 22 die Leuchteinheit 18 gegen den Funktionsträger 8 drückt und auf diese Weise fixiert. Das Langloch 21 kann wie in Figur 8 gezeigt bezüglich einer Draufsicht gekrümmt ausgebildet sein. Besonders zweckmäßig umfasst die Kipp-Vorrichtung 16 zwei Gewindebohrungen bzw. zwei diesen Gewindebohrungen zugeordnete Langlöcher 21 und folglich auch zwei Befestigungsschrauben 22.In the FIG. 8 is a technical realization possibility of the tilting device 16 shown. The tilting device 16 may comprise curved elongated holes 21 which are provided on the lighting unit 18. In the FIG. 8 For the sake of clarity, only a single such elongated hole 21 is shown. Accordingly, 8 threaded holes for receiving a respective fastening screw 22 may be provided on the function carrier. For fastening the lighting unit 18, this is arranged at the desired tilt angle on the function carrier 8, so that the fastening screw 22 performed by the slot 21 and a provided on the function carrier 8 threaded hole can be screwed. In this way, the lighting unit 18 can be fixed at the desired tilt angle on the function carrier 8. The fastening screw 22 thus acts in the manner of a fixing element. The fastening screw 22 may be a knurled screw, for example. In fixed to the function carrier 8 state of the lighting unit 18, the fastening screw 22 passes through the slot 21 and is received in the threaded hole, so that fastening screw 22 presses the light unit 18 against the function carrier 8 and fixed in this way. The slot 21 can as in FIG. 8 shown to be curved with respect to a plan view. Particularly suitably, the tilting device 16 comprises two threaded bores or two elongated holes 21 assigned to these threaded bores and consequently also two fastening screws 22.

Der maximale Kippwinkel α in der vorbestimmten Kipp-Ebene K kann beispielsweise ca. 30° betragen, es sind in Varianten aber auch andere Werte vorstellbar. Mittels der Begrenzung des maximal möglichen Kippwinkels α lässt sich die Leuchteinheit 18 technisch einfach aufgebaut halten, was sich günstig auf die Herstellungskosten der gesamten Einbauleuchte 1 auswirkt.The maximum tilt angle α in the predetermined tilt plane K can be, for example, about 30 °, but other values can also be envisaged in variants. By means of the limitation of the maximum possible tilt angle α, the lighting unit 18 can be kept technically simple, which has a favorable effect on the production costs of the entire recessed luminaire 1.

Zur Erzeugung einer verbesserten räumlichen Abstrahlungscharakteristik umfasst die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte 1 neben der Leuchteinheit 18 auch ein lösbar an dem Funktionsträger 8 befestigtes Reflektorelement 15 (vgl. Fig.5) zur Reflexion von von der Leuchteinheit 18 emittiertem und auf das Reflektorelement 15 treffendem Licht. Das Reflektorelement 15 kann dabei derart an dem Funktionsträger 8 befestigt sein, dass von der Leuchteinheit 18 von dem zu beleuchtenden Raumbereich weg emittiertes Licht wieder in Richtung dieses Raumbereichs hin reflektiert wird. Auf diese Weise wird die Lichteffizienz der gesamten Einbauleuchte 1 gesteigert.In order to produce an improved spatial radiation characteristic, the recessed luminaire 1 according to the invention also comprises, in addition to the luminous unit 18, a reflector element 15 detachably fastened to the function carrier 8 (cf. Figure 5 ) for reflecting light emitted by the lighting unit 18 and striking the reflector element 15. In this case, the reflector element 15 can be fastened to the function carrier 8 in such a way that light emitted by the lighting unit 18 away from the area of the room to be illuminated is reflected again in the direction of this spatial area. In this way, the light efficiency of the entire recessed luminaire 1 is increased.

Zu Reinigungszwecken kann es erforderlich sein, das Reflektorelement 15 separat von den anderen Bauteilen der Einbauleuchte 1 vom Funktionsträger 8 zu demontieren. Zu diesem Zweck kann das Reflektorelement 15 mittels einer ClipVerbindung an dem Funktionsträgerteil 8 lösbar befestigt sein.For cleaning purposes, it may be necessary to disassemble the reflector element 15 separately from the other components of the recessed luminaire 1 from the function carrier 8. For this purpose, the reflector element 15 can be detachably fastened to the function carrier part 8 by means of a clip connection.

Um einem Werker der Einbauleuchte die Montage auch einer sehr großen Anzahl an solchen Einbauleuchten 1 zu erleichtern, kann der Funktionsträger 8 derart ausgebildet sein, dass er mit daran angebrachter Leuchteinheit 1 durch die Öffnung hindurch an einem bereits am Öffnungsrand 4 befestigten Trägerring 2 angebaut wird. Entsprechend kann auch das Reflektorelement 15 durch die Öffnung hindurch an den bereits am Trägerring 2 befestigten Funktionsträger 8 angebaut werden.In order to facilitate a worker of the recessed luminaire mounting a very large number of such recessed lights 1, the function carrier 8 may be designed such that it is mounted with attached light unit 1 through the opening at an already attached to the opening edge 4 carrier ring 2. Accordingly, the reflector element 15 can be grown through the opening to the already attached to the support ring 2 function carrier 8.
