Abstract

The invention relates to a lamp for use in a lighting strip system which comprises a support rail (3), which extends along a longitudinal axis (L), and supply lines for supplying power to a light source of the lamp. The lamp has a first unit (1) for arrangement on the support rail (3) and for electrical contact to the supply lines, wherein the first unit (1) comprises an operating device (6) for supplying power to the light source of the lamp. The lamp also has a second unit (2) which comprises the light source. The lamp furthermore has a plug connection device, particularly having a first plug connection element (51) and a second plug connection element (52), via which the second unit (2) can be electrically connected to the first unit (1). The design having two units (1, 2) which are connected to each other enables the entire weight of the lamp to be divided across the two units (1, 2). The two units (1, 2) can thus each be generally better and more easily handled, particularly for assembly on the support rail (3). Furthermore, better design options for the arrangement of the light source result via the two units (1, 2).

These rotary handles extend on the one hand upwards and have in this area both mechanical holding elements for mounting on the mounting rail, as well as electrical contacting elements for contacting the supply lines; On the other hand enforce the Drehabgriffe the support beam vertically and have at its lower end portion on rotary knob. For attaching the lamp to the mounting rail of the support beam of the lamp is coming from below attached to the mounting rail, the Drehabgriffe protrude into the area between the two U-legs of the support rail and the support beam contacts the free ends of the two U-legs. Subsequently, the rotary handles are rotated by turning the rotary knob about a vertical axis, whereby the rotary handles are brought into a locking position in which the mechanical support and the electrical contact is made. For operation of the fluorescent tube, the lamp further comprises an operating device in the form of a ballast, which is also arranged at the top of the support beam.
Eine entsprechende Leuchte mit einer LED-Lichtquelle ist analog aufgebaut, wobei an der Unterseite des Trägerbalkens anstelle der Leuchtstoffröhre die LED-Lichtquelle angeordnet ist. A corresponding lamp with an LED light source is constructed analogously, wherein the LED light source is arranged on the underside of the support beam instead of the fluorescent tube.
Ein entsprechendes Betriebsgerät hat ein vergleichsweise hohes Gewicht, was sich A corresponding operating device has a comparatively high weight, which is
grundsätzlich, insbesondere mit Bezug auf die Handhabung der Leuchten, beispielsweise beim Anordnen an der Tragschiene, nachteilig auswirkt. Bei einer LED-Leuchte sind außerdem die Möglichkeiten zur Anordnung der LEDs aufgrund der nach unten durch den Trägerbalken hindurch ragenden Drehabgriffe bzw. die Drehknebel beschränkt. Basically, in particular with respect to the handling of the lights, for example when arranging on the mounting rail, adversely affects. In an LED light also the possibilities for the arrangement of the LEDs are limited due to the projecting down through the support beam through rotary handles or the rotary knob.

Insbesondere soll dabei eine erleichterte Handhabung ermöglicht sein und es sollen bessere Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eröffnet sein. The invention has for its object to provide an improved light or an improved lighting system. In particular, it should be facilitated handling and better design options should be opened.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit den in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen genannten Gegenständen gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben. This object is achieved according to the invention with the objects mentioned in the independent claims. Particular embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Leuchte zur Verwendung in einem Lichtbandsystem According to the invention, a luminaire is for use in a lighting system
vorgesehen, das eine Tragschiene umfasst, die sich längs einer Längsachse erstreckt, sowie Versorgungsleitungen zur Stromversorgung einer Lichtquelle der Leuchte. Die Leuchte weist eine erste Baueinheit zur Anordnung an der Tragschiene und zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Versorgungsleitungen auf, wobei die erste Baueinheit ein Betriebsgerät zur provided, which comprises a mounting rail, which extends along a longitudinal axis, and supply lines for powering a light source of the lamp. The luminaire has a first structural unit for arrangement on the mounting rail and for electrical contacting of the supply lines, wherein the first structural unit is an operating device for
Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle der Leuchte umfasst. Außerdem weist die Leuchte eine zweite Baueinheit auf, die die Lichtquelle umfasst. Weiterhin weist die Leuchte eine Power supply includes the light source of the lamp. In addition, the luminaire has a second structural unit which comprises the light source. Furthermore, the lamp has a
Steckverbindungsvorrichtung auf, durch die die zweite Baueinheit mit der ersten Baueinheit elektrisch verbindbar ist. Plug connection device, by which the second unit is electrically connected to the first unit.
Durch die Ausgestaltung mit den zwei Baueinheiten, die miteinander verbindbar sind, lässt sich erzielen, dass das gesamte Gewicht der Leuchte auf die beiden Baueinheiten aufgeteilt wird. Die beiden Baueinheiten lassen sich dadurch jeweils für sich genommen, insbesondere zur Montage an der Tragschiene, grundsätzlich besser bzw. leichter handhaben. Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Betriebsgerät, das typischerweise ein vergleichsweise hohes Gewicht aufweist, an dem einen der beiden Baueinheiten angeordnet ist, während die Lichtquelle an der anderen Baueinheit angeordnet ist. Durch die Steckverbindungsvorrichtung ist dabei der Verbindungsvorgang der beiden Baueinheiten besonders einfach. Due to the design with the two units that can be connected to each other, it can be achieved that the entire weight of the lamp is divided between the two units. The two units can thus be taken individually, in particular For mounting on the mounting rail, basically better or easier to handle. It is particularly advantageous if the operating device, which typically has a comparatively high weight, is arranged on one of the two structural units, while the light source is arranged on the other structural unit. By connecting device while the connection process of the two units is particularly simple.
Die Befestigung der ersten Baueinheit an der Tragschiene kann analog zu der Befestigung des eingangs erwähnten Trägerbalkens vorgesehen sein, also über einen Drehabgriff, der durch Drehen eines Drehknebels in eine Verriegelungsstellung gebracht werden kann. Dabei liegt ein Vorteil gegenüber dem genannten Stand der Technik, der sich durch die Gestaltung mit den beiden Baueinheiten erzielen lässt, darin, dass der Drehabgriff bzw. der entsprechende Drehknebel die Gestaltungsfreiheit der Leuchte mit Bezug auf die Anordnung der Lichtquelle weniger einschränkt, da die Lichtquelle nunmehr an der zweiten Baueinheit angeordnet ist. Dies ist beispielsweise besonders relevant, wenn die Lichtquelle durch eine Reihe von LEDs gebildet ist, die sich parallel zu der Längsachse erstreckend angeordnet sind. The attachment of the first assembly to the support rail may be provided analogously to the attachment of the aforementioned support beam, ie via a Drehabgriff, which can be brought by turning a rotary knob in a locking position. An advantage over the cited prior art, which can be achieved by the design with the two units, is that the Drehabgriff or the corresponding rotary knob less limits the freedom of design of the lamp with respect to the arrangement of the light source, since the light source is now arranged on the second unit. This is particularly relevant, for example, when the light source is formed by a series of LEDs arranged extending parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Vorzugsweise weist die zweite Baueinheit ein profilförmiges Trägerelement auf, das parallel zu der Längsachse angeordnet ist. Ein solches profilförmiges Trägerelement eignet sich besonders gut zur Halterung einer entsprechenden Lichtquelle, die insgesamt betrachtet länglich ist, wie beispielsweise im Fall einer LED-Lichtquelle, die LEDs aufweist, die sich längs einer Geraden erstreckend angeordnet sind. Dementsprechend weist die Lichtquelle vorzugsweise LEDs auf; insbesondere kann sie aus LEDs bestehen. Preferably, the second unit has a profile-shaped carrier element, which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis. Such a profile-shaped carrier element is particularly suitable for holding a corresponding light source, which is elongated overall, as for example in the case of an LED light source having LEDs which are arranged extending along a straight line. Accordingly, the light source preferably has LEDs; In particular, it can consist of LEDs.
Vorzugsweise sind die LEDs dabei an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet, insbesondere sich längs einer Geraden erstreckend angeordnet, die parallel zu der Längsachse orientiert ist. Preferably, the LEDs are arranged held on the support element, in particular arranged along a straight line extending, which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Vorzugsweise ist das Betriebsgerät ein Konverter zur Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle. Ein Konverter weist typischerweise ein vergleichsweise hohes Gewicht auf. Preferably, the operating device is a converter for powering the light source. A converter typically has a comparatively high weight.
Vorzugsweise weist die Steckverbindungsvorrichtung einen Stecker und eine Buchse auf und ist dabei derart gestaltet, dass durch eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem Stecker und der Buchse, die senkrecht zu der Längsachse der Tragschiene gerichtet ist, die zweite Baueinheit mit der ersten Baueinheit verbindbar ist. Durch eine solche Gestaltung der Steckverbindungsvorrichtung ist eine besonders einfache Handhabung bei der Verbindung der beiden Baueinheiten ermöglicht. Preferably, the plug connection device has a plug and a socket and is designed such that by a relative movement between the plug and the socket, which is directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support rail, the second unit is connectable to the first unit. Through such a design of Plug connection device allows a particularly simple handling in the connection of the two units.
Vorzugsweise weist die Leuchte weiterhin eine Rastverbindungsvorrichtung auf, durch die die zweite Baueinheit mit der ersten Baueinheit mechanisch verbindbar ist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die beiden Baueinheiten besonders einfach mechanisch miteinander verbinden. Preferably, the lamp further comprises a latching connection device, by which the second structural unit is mechanically connectable to the first structural unit. In this way, the two units can be particularly easily mechanically interconnect.
Vorzugsweise weist die zweite Baueinheit weiterhin ein optisches Element zur Beeinflussung eines von der Lichtquelle erzeugten Lichts auf. Hierdurch ist insbesondere eine besonders geeignete Gewichtsverteilung zwischen der ersten Baueinheit und der zweiten Baueinheit ermöglicht. Preferably, the second assembly further comprises an optical element for influencing a light generated by the light source. In this way, a particularly suitable weight distribution between the first structural unit and the second structural unit is made possible in particular.
Vorzugsweise ist das optische Element dabei profilförmig gestaltet, wobei es parallel zu der Längsachse angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist eine besonders einfache Ausgestaltung des optischen Elements ermöglicht. Weiterhin vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf die Herstellung ist dabei das optische Element durch Extrusion hergestellt.

In particular, the optical element may consist of plastic.
Vorzugsweise umfasst die zweite Baueinheit weiterhin ein Reflektorelement. Auch dies ist besonders vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf eine Aufteilung des Gewichts bei bestimmter Preferably, the second assembly further comprises a reflector element. Again, this is particularly advantageous with respect to a distribution of weight in certain

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Skizze einer seitlichen Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Lichtbandsystems mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte zur Verwendung in dem Lichtbandsystem, wobei die Teile nicht wie vorgesehen zusammengebaut sind, sondern zur Verdeutlichung des Aufbaus voneinander separiert dargestellt sind. In Fig. 2 ist ein Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse L nach Art einer Explosionsdarstellung gezeigt. Fig. 1 shows a sketch of a side view of a lighting system according to the invention with a lamp according to the invention for use in the lighting system, the parts are not assembled as intended, but are shown separated from each other to illustrate the structure. FIG. 2 shows a cross section normal to the longitudinal axis L in the manner of an exploded view.
Das Lichtbandsystem weist eine Tragschiene 3 auf, die sich längs einer Längsachse L erstreckt. Die Tragschiene 3 kann beispielsweise dafür vorgesehen sein, zum Betrieb des Lichtbandsystems von einer Raumdecke oder dergleichen abgehängt angeordnet zu werden. Beispielsweise kann hierzu, wie an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, ein The light band system has a support rail 3, which extends along a longitudinal axis L. The support rail 3 may be provided, for example, to be suspended from a ceiling or the like for operation of the lighting system. For example, for this purpose, as known from the prior art, a
Federelement 34 dienen, das auf einer Oberseite der Tragschiene 3, beispielsweise über eine Rastverbindung, angeordnet wird und das andererseits mit einem Seil oder einem Pendelrohr verbunden wird. Weiterhin umfasst das Lichtbandsystem Versorgungsleitungen zur Stromversorgung einer Lichtquelle 4 der Leuchte. Die Tragschiene 3 und die Versorgungsleitungen können so gestaltet sein, wie sie aus dem eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik, insbesondere aus der Schrift WO 01/91249 AI bekannt sind. Insoweit wird hier ausdrücklich auf diese Schrift verwiesen. Serve spring element 34, which is arranged on an upper side of the support rail 3, for example via a latching connection, and on the other hand is connected to a rope or a pendulum tube. Furthermore, the lighting system comprises supply lines for powering a light source 4 of the lamp. The support rail 3 and the supply lines can be designed as they are known from the aforementioned prior art, in particular from the document WO 01/91249 AI. In that regard, reference is expressly made to this document.
Die Tragschiene 3 ist vorzugsweise, wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, in einem Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse L betrachtet im Wesentlichen U-förmig gestaltet, so dass sie zwei U- Schenkel 31, 32 aufweist. Die Orientierung gegenüber der Vertikalen ist dabei grundsätzlich beliebig. In dieser Beschreibung wird der Einfachheit halber davon ausgegangen, dass die Tragschiene 3 zum Betrieb des Lichtbandsystems bzw. der Leuchte so ausgerichtet ist, dass die beiden U-Schenkel 31, 32 der Tragschiene 3 nach unten weisen, also mit anderen Worten die Tragschiene 3 nach unten offen ist. Dies entspricht der üblichen Ausrichtung der The support rail 3 is preferably, as is apparent from Fig. 2, viewed in a cross section normal to the longitudinal axis L designed substantially U-shaped, so that it has two U-legs 31, 32. The orientation relative to the vertical is fundamentally arbitrary. In this description, for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the support rail 3 is aligned for operation of the lighting system or the luminaire so that the two U-legs 31, 32 of the support rail 3 point downwards, ie in other words the support rail 3 is open at the bottom. This corresponds to the usual orientation of the
Tragschiene 3 im Fall eines entsprechenden Lichtbandsystems. Support rail 3 in the case of a corresponding lighting system.
Die Leuchte weist eine erste Baueinheit 1 auf, die dazu ausgestaltet ist, an der Tragschiene 3 angeordnet zu werden; insbesondere kann die erste Baueinheit 1 dazu ausgestaltet sein, so mit der Tragschiene 3 verbunden zu werden, dass sie zumindest teilweise von unten in die Tragschiene 3 bzw. zwischen die beiden U-Schenkel 31, 32 der Tragschiene 3 eingreift. Die Befestigung der ersten Baueinheit 1 an der Tragschiene 3 kann analog gestaltet sein zu der Befestigung eines aus dem eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik bekannten Trägerbalkens an der Tragschiene. Hierauf wird weiter unten nochmals eingegangen. The luminaire has a first structural unit 1, which is designed to be arranged on the mounting rail 3; In particular, the first structural unit 1 can be designed to be connected to the mounting rail 3 so that it engages at least partially from below into the mounting rail 3 or between the two U-legs 31, 32 of the mounting rail 3. The attachment of the first unit 1 to the support rail 3 may be designed to be analogous to the attachment of a known from the aforementioned prior art support beam to the mounting rail. This will be discussed again below.
Weiterhin ist die erste Baueinheit 1 dazu ausgestaltet, die Versorgungsleitungen elektrisch zu kontaktieren, und zwar zur Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle 4. Weiterhin weist die erste Baueinheit 1 ein Betriebsgerät 6, insbesondere in Form eines Konverters zur Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle 4 auf. Furthermore, the first unit 1 is configured to electrically contact the supply lines, namely for the power supply of the light source 4.

Außerdem weist die Leuchte eine zweite Baueinheit 2 auf, die die Lichtquelle 4 umfasst. In addition, the luminaire has a second structural unit 2, which comprises the light source 4.
In Fig. 1 ist die Tragschiene 3 gleich lang skizziert wie die Leuchte. Dies ist jedoch lediglich beispielhaft und untypisch für ein Lichtbandsystem. Vorzugsweise ist die Tragschiene 3 länger als die Leuchte, insbesondere länger als die doppelte Länge der Leuchte, so dass an der Tragschiene 3 mehrere entsprechende Leuchten längs der Längsachse L in Reihe hintereinander angeordnet werden können. In Fig. 1, the support rail 3 is sketched the same length as the light. However, this is merely exemplary and atypical of a lighting system. Preferably, the support rail 3 is longer than the lamp, in particular longer than twice the length of the lamp, so that at the Support rail 3 several corresponding lights along the longitudinal axis L in series can be arranged one behind the other.
Fig. 3 zeigt die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Anordnung so wie für einen Betrieb der Leuchte vorgesehen zusammengesetzt, wobei jedoch in dieser Darstellung die Lichtquelle nicht skizziert ist. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 composed as provided for operation of the lamp, but in this illustration, the light source is not outlined.
Wie in Fig. 4 in einem Längsschnitt bereichsweise skizziert, weist die Leuchte weiterhin eine Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 auf, durch die die zweite Baueinheit 2 mit der ersten As in Fig. 4 in a longitudinal section partially sketched, the lamp further comprises a connector device 5 through which the second unit 2 with the first
Baueinheit 1 elektrisch verbindbar ist. Diese Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 dient zum Herstellen einer Steckverbindung zur Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle 4.

Vorzugsweise weist die zweite Baueinheit 2 kein Betriebsgerät, insbesondere keinen Konverter auf, so dass das Gewicht der zweiten Baueinheit 2 entsprechend niedrig gehalten werden kann. Hierdurch ist eine besonders einfache Handhabung der Leuchte beim Verbinden der zweiten Baueinheit 2 mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 ermöglicht. By the connector device 5, the second unit 2 can be particularly simple and easy to handle with the first unit 1 electrically connect. The second structural unit 2 preferably has no operating device, in particular no converter, so that the weight of the second structural unit 2 can be kept correspondingly low. As a result, a particularly simple handling of the luminaire when connecting the second structural unit 2 to the first structural unit 1 is made possible.
Die Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 weist vorzugsweise seitens der ersten Baueinheit 1 ein erstes Steckverbindungsteil 51 auf und seitens der zweiten Baueinheit 2 ein hierzu The plug connection device 5 preferably has a first plug connection part 51 on the part of the first module 1 and a part for this on the part of the second module 2

However, the design could be the other way around.

Steckverbindungsteil 52 bzw. zwischen der Buchse 51 und dem Stecker 52, die senkrecht zu der Längsachse L der Tragschiene 3 gerichtet ist, die zweite Baueinheit 2 mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 verbindbar ist. Die Gestaltung ist vorzugsweise so, dass in der hier beispielhaft gewählten Orientierung der Tragschiene 3 die Relativbewegung zwischen den beiden Plug connection part 52 or between the socket 51 and the plug 52, which is directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the support rail 3, the second unit 2 with the first unit 1 is connectable. The design is preferably such that in the example here selected orientation of the support rail 3, the relative movement between the two
Steckverbindungsteilen 51, 52 senkrecht gerichtet ist. Die zweite Baueinheit 2 lässt sich daher durch eine senkrecht nach oben gerichteten Bewegung mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 elektrisch verbinden. Plug connection parts 51, 52 is directed vertically. The second unit 2 can therefore be electrically connected by a vertically upward movement with the first unit 1.
In Fig. 5 ist eine perspektivische Skizze eines Bereichs um die Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 herum gezeigt, wobei die erste Baueinheit 1 und die zweite Baueinheit 2 voneinander separiert dargestellt sind. Man erkennt unter anderem das, hier als Buchse gestaltete, erste Steckverbindungsteil 51 , das als Teil der ersten Baueinheit 1 gestaltet ist sowie das, hier als Stecker gestaltete, zweite Steckverbindungsteil 52, das als Teil der zweiten Baueinheit 2 gestaltet ist.

Insbesondere kann auf diese Weise die Lichtquelle 4 bzw. können die LEDs so angeordnet sein, dass sie sich zumindest teilweise innerhalb der vertikalen Projektion der Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 erstrecken. Carrier element 7 may be provided corresponding spacers. In this way, a clearance between the support member 7 on the one hand and the circuit board 41 on the other hand may be formed, which may be used for example for electrical cable, which electrically connect the second connector part 52 for powering the light source 4 to the circuit board 41. In particular, in this way the light source 4 or the LEDs can so arranged to extend at least partially within the vertical projection of the connector device 5.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise umfasst die Rastverbindungsvorrichtung 81, 82, 8 Γ, 82' außerdem ein weiteres erstes Rastelement 81 ' seitens der ersten Baueinheit 1 und ein weiteres zweites Rastelement 82' seitens der zweiten Baueinheit 2, wobei das weitere erste Rastelement 81 ' und das weitere zweite Rastelement 82' mit Bezug auf eine durch Lichtquelle 4 verlaufende senkrechte Ebene dem zuerst genannten ersten Rastelement 81 und dem zuerst genannten zweiten Rastelement 82 gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind. Further preferably, the latching connection device 81, 82, 8 ', 82' also comprises a further first latching element 81 ' on the part of the first unit 1 and a further second latching element 82' on the part of the second unit 2, wherein the further first latching element 81 'and the further second Locking element 82 ' with respect to a plane passing through the light source 4 vertical plane of the first-mentioned first latching element 81 and the first-mentioned second latching element 82 are arranged opposite one another.
Im gezeigten Beispiel ist die Rastverbindungsvorrichtung 81, 82, 81 ', 82' so gestaltet, dass die erste Baueinheit 1 durch eine Relativbewegung gegenüber der zweiten Baueinheit 2 mit Letzterer mechanisch verbunden werden kann, durch die auch die beiden In the example shown, the latching connection device 81, 82, 81 ', 82' designed so that the first unit 1 can be mechanically connected by a relative movement relative to the second unit 2 with the latter, through which the two
Steckverbindungsteile 51, 52 zur Herstellung der Steckverbindung verbindbar sind. Somit lässt sich im gezeigten Beispiel die zweite Baueinheit 2 durch eine Relativbewegung mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 mechanisch und elektrisch verbinden, die lediglich eine vertikal nach oben gerichtete Translationsbewegung umfasst. Plug connection parts 51, 52 are connectable for the production of the plug connection. Thus, in the example shown, the second structural unit 2 can be mechanically and electrically connected by a relative movement with the first structural unit 1, which only comprises a vertically upward translation movement.
Die genannte mechanische und elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Baueinheiten 1 , 2 lässt sich vorteilhaft auch so gestalten, dass sie ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs hergestellt werden kann. The said mechanical and electrical connection between the two units 1, 2 can also be advantageously designed so that it can be produced without the aid of a tool.
Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung weiterhin so, dass die zweite Baueinheit 2 auch wieder von der ersten Baueinheit 1 getrennt werden kann, ohne dass die Leuchte dabei beschädigt oder zerstört wird. Mit anderen Worten ist die Leuchte vorzugsweise derart gestaltet, dass durch die Steckverbindungs Vorrichtung 5 und gegebenenfalls die Rastverbindungsvorrichtung 81, 82, 8Γ, 82' die zweite Baueinheit 2 reversibel mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 elektrisch bzw. mechanisch verbindbar ist. Weiterhin vorzugsweise weist die zweite Baueinheit 2 außerdem ein optisches Element 9 zur Beeinflussung eines von der Lichtquelle 4 erzeugten Lichts auf. Beispielsweise kann das optische Element 9 zur Beeinflussung des Richtungsverhaltens des Lichts ausgestaltet sein. Preferably, the design is furthermore such that the second structural unit 2 can also be separated from the first structural unit 1 again, without the luminaire being damaged or destroyed. In other words, the lamp is preferably designed such that by the connector device 5 and optionally the latching connection device 81, 82, 8Γ, 82 ', the second unit 2 is reversibly electrically or mechanically connectable to the first unit 1. Furthermore, preferably, the second structural unit 2 also has an optical element 9 for influencing a light generated by the light source 4. For example, the optical element 9 can be designed to influence the directional behavior of the light.
Dabei ist es mit Bezug auf die Herstellung der Leuchte vorteilhaft, wenn das optische Element 9 profilförmig gestaltet ist und dabei parallel zu der Längsachse L angeordnet ist. It is advantageous with respect to the manufacture of the lamp when the optical element 9 is designed in a profile shape and is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
Insbesondere kann es sich bei dem optischen Element 9 um ein durch Extrusion hergestelltes Teil handeln, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff. In particular, the optical element 9 may be a part produced by extrusion, for example of plastic.
Vorzugsweise ist die Leuchte so gestaltet, dass in einem Querschnitt normal zu der Preferably, the luminaire is designed so that in a cross section normal to the
Längsachse L betrachtet die Lichtquelle 4 ringförmig umschlossen ist, beispielsweise zumindest abschnittweise durch die Platine 41 und das optische Element 9. Hierdurch lässt sich die Gefahr verringern, dass die Platine 41 versehentlich berührt wird - und damit die Gefahr eines entsprechenden Stromschlags. Longitudinal axis L considered the light source 4 is annularly enclosed, for example, at least in sections by the board 41 and the optical element 9. This can reduce the risk that the board 41 is accidentally touched - and thus the risk of a corresponding electric shock.
Weiterhin weist die Leuchte im gezeigten Beispiel ein Reflektorelement 10 auf, das zur weiteren Beeinflussung des Lichts gestaltet ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Reflektorelement 10 dem optischen Element 9 mit Bezug auf den Verlauf des von der Lichtquelle 4 erzeugten Lichts optisch nachgeordnet angeordnet. Das Reflektorelement 10 kann zwei Furthermore, in the example shown, the luminaire has a reflector element 10, which is designed to further influence the light. Preferably, the reflector element 10 is the optical element 9 with respect to the course of the light generated by the light source 4 optically arranged downstream. The reflector element 10 can two
Seitenreflektorwände 101, 102 aufweisen, die über Querlamellen 103 miteinander verbunden sind, so dass sich insgesamt ein Raster ergibt. Side reflector walls 101, 102 which are connected to each other via cross blades 103, so that the overall result is a grid.
Fig. 6 zeigt eine angeschnittene, perspektivische Darstellung der Leuchte. Man erkennt unter anderem die Steckverbindungsvorrichtung 5 und das Betriebsgerät 6, die mit Bezug auf die Längsachse L an unterschiedlichen Stellen angeordnet sind, so dass sie nicht gegenseitig um Bauraum konkurrieren. Weiterhin weist die erste Baueinheit 1 - wie bereits kurz erwähnt - vorzugsweise wenigstens einen Drehabgriff 30 auf, wie er beispielsweise als solcher aus der oben erwähnten Schrift WO 01/91249 AI bekannt ist, der zur mechanischen und elektrischen Verbindung zu der Tragschiene 3 dient. Mit Bezug auf eine mögliche Ausgestaltung des Drehabgriffs 30 wird wiederum ausdrücklich auf die genannte Schrift verwiesen. Wie in Fig. 2 beispielhaft bezeichnet, kann der Drehabgriff 30 insbesondere ein seitliches Fig. 6 shows a truncated perspective view of the lamp. One recognizes inter alia the connector device 5 and the operating device 6, which are arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis L at different locations, so that they do not compete with each other for space. Furthermore, the first assembly 1 - as already briefly mentioned - preferably at least one Drehabgriff 30, as it is known for example as such from the above-mentioned document WO 01/91249 AI, which serves for the mechanical and electrical connection to the support rail 3. With reference to a possible embodiment of the Drehabgriffs 30 again expressly referred to the said document. As exemplified in FIG. 2, the rotary handle 30 can in particular be a lateral one
Verriegelungselement 310 aufweisen, das zur Halterung der Leuchte an der Tragschiene 3 in nach innen vorspringende Teile der Tragschiene 3 bzw. der beiden U-Schenkel 31, 32 der Tragschiene 3 eingreift. Der Drehabgriff 30 ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, wie beispielsweise ebenfalls in der WO 01/91249 AI beschrieben, zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Have locking element 310, which is for holding the lamp to the support rail 3 inwardly projecting parts of the support rail 3 and the two U-legs 31, 32 of the Support rail 3 engages. The Drehabgriff 30 is also advantageous, as for example also described in WO 01/91249 AI, for electrical contacting of the
Versorgungsleitungen ausgestaltet. Dementsprechend ist zur Stromversorgung der LichtquelleSupply lines designed. Accordingly, to power the light source
4 eine (in den Figuren nicht gezeigte) weitere elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem 4 shows a further electrical connection (not shown in the figures) between the
Drehabgriff 30 und dem Betriebsgerät 6 vorgesehen. Drehabgriff 30 and the operating device 6 is provided.
Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung des Lichtbandsystems derart, dass zur Montage der Leuchte an der Tragschiene 3 in einem ersten Schritt die erste Baueinheit 1 an der Tragschiene 3 befestigt werden kann und in einem darauffolgenden zweiten Schritt die zweite Baueinheit 2 mit der ersten Baueinheit 1 verbunden werden kann. Durch die Ausbildung mit den Preferably, the design of the lighting system is such that for mounting the lamp to the support rail 3 in a first step, the first unit 1 can be attached to the support rail 3 and in a subsequent second step, the second unit 2 can be connected to the first unit 1 , By training with the
Drehabgriffen 30 lässt sich dabei - wie an sich aus WO 01/91249 AI bekannt - die Leuchte grundsätzlich, mit Bezug auf die Längsachse L der Tragschiene 3 an einer beliebigen Stelle anordnen. Dieser Vorteil bleibt also trotz der Gestaltung mit der SteckverbindungsvorrichtungIn this case, rotary handles 30-as is known from WO 01/91249 A1-can in principle be arranged at any desired point with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the mounting rail 3. This advantage thus remains despite the design with the connector device
5 auch bei dem hier beschriebenen Lichtbandsystem erhalten. 5 also obtained in the light band system described here.
Im gezeigten Beispiel umfasst die Leuchte zwei Drehabgriffe 30. Diese sind auch aus Fig. 8 ersichtlich, die eine Längsschnittdarstellung der Leuchte zeigt, wobei ein Bereich um das Betriebsgerät 6 herum ausgespart ist. In the example shown, the lamp comprises two rotary handles 30. These are also apparent from Fig. 8, which shows a longitudinal sectional view of the lamp, wherein an area is recessed around the operating device 6 around.
Fig. 7 zeigt eine Sicht von unten auf die Leuchte bei entfernten Querlamellen 103 des Reflektorelements 10 und entferntem das optischen Element 9. Man erkennt unter anderem die Platine 41 mit den darauf angeordneten, sich längs der Geraden erstreckenden LEDs. Fig. 7 shows a view from below of the lamp at distant cross-blades 103 of the reflector element 10 and removes the optical element 9. One recognizes, inter alia, the circuit board 41 arranged thereon, along the straight line extending LEDs.
