Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Kontaktieren von elektrischen Leitern und/oder elektrischen Kontaktelementen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, sowie eine Leuchte oder ein elektrisches GerÀt.The invention relates to a device for contacting electrical conductors and / or electrical contact elements, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a lamp or an electrical device.

Solche Vorrichtungen, auch als Anschluss- und Verbindungsklemme bekannt, werden beispielsweise fĂŒr den elektrischen Anschluss von Leuchten verwendet. Sie können auch bei LED-Anwendungen im Einsatz kommen oder auch fĂŒr sonstige elektrische GerĂ€te.Such devices, also known as connection and connection terminal, are used for example for the electrical connection of lights. They can also be used in LED applications or for other electrical devices.

Bei bestehenden Systemen fĂŒr Leuchten, vor allem bei Schienenleuchten mit einzelnen Leuchten, die auf einer Schiene angeordnet werden, sind Vorrichtungen vorhanden, die einerseits eine Anschlussklemme fĂŒr die Strom- und/oder Steuerleitungen aufweisen und anderseits einen Abgriff, um die weitere elektrische Verbindung zum Leuchtmittel gewĂ€hrleisten zu können. Die Anschlussklemme und dem Abgriff können an sich bekannte Produkte, die von einander unabhĂ€ngig sind. Der Raster der Anschlussklemme und der Raster des Abgriffes können dadurch zum Teil unterschiedlich sein. Die Anschlussklemme und der Abgriff können beispielsweise mit einzelnen Leitern verbunden werden, wobei die Leiter unter anderem abgezwickt und isoliert werden sollen. Der Montageaufwand ist dadurch erheblich, viele Einzelkomponenten sind erforderlich und die gesamte Vorrichtung benötigt viel Platz in der Leuchte, vor allem in der LĂ€nge.In existing systems for lights, especially in track lights with individual lights, which are arranged on a rail, devices are present, on the one hand have a terminal for the power and / or control lines and on the other hand a tap to the further electrical connection to the bulb to be able to guarantee. The terminal and the tap can be per se known products that are independent of each other. The grid of the terminal and the grid of the tap can be partially different. The terminal and the tap can be connected to individual conductors, for example, with the conductors to be split and isolated, among other things. The assembly effort is considerably, many individual components are required and the entire device requires a lot of space in the lamp, especially in length.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist beispielsweise die AT 13096 U1 bekannt, wobei die Vorrichtung einem GehÀuse-Vorderteil und einem GehÀuse-Hinterteil als Einheit aufweist, sowie elektrische Verbindungselemente, die zwischen der Kontaktierstellen im GehÀuse-Vorderteil und der Kontaktierstellen im GehÀuse-Hinterteil in der Einheit angeordnet sind und diese jeweils elektrisch verbinden, wobei die jeweiligen elektrischen Verbindungselemente einen vorhandenen Versatz zwischen den verbundenen Kontaktierstellen im GehÀuse-Vorderteil und GehÀuse-Hinterteil ausgleichen können. Nachteil ist, dass die Steckmöglichkeiten in der Vorrichtung beschrÀnkt sind, es gibt nur eine Gruppe von Kontaktierstellen im GehÀuse-Vorderteil und eine weitere Gruppe von Kontaktierstellen im GehÀuse-Hinterteil.From the prior art, for example, the AT 13096 U1 The device comprises a housing front part and a housing rear part as a unit, as well as electrical connection elements which are arranged between the contact points in the housing front part and the contact points in the housing rear part are arranged in the unit and each connect electrically, wherein the respective electrical connection elements can compensate for an existing offset between the connected Kontaktierstellen in the front housing part and the housing rear part. Disadvantage is that the plug-in options are limited in the device, there is only one group of Kontaktierstellen in the housing front part and another group of Kontaktierstellen in the housing rear part.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist auch die GB-2 190 819 A bekannt, wobei eine Vorrichtung zum Kontaktieren von elektrischen Leitern ein GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und ein GehĂ€use-Hinterteil aufweist, wobei zumindest eine erste elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber erste Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und zumindest eine weitere elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Hinterteil vorgesehen sind, wobei auf einer Seite der Vorrichtung eine Abstufung zwischen dem GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und dem GehĂ€use-Hinterteil ausgebildet ist, wobei zweite Kontaktierstellen zur elektrische Kontaktierung vorgesehen sind und im GehĂ€usevorderteil derart angeordnet sind, dass die Höhe des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils kleiner ist als die Höhe des GehĂ€use-Vorderteils, wobei die zweiten Kontaktierstellen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung zugĂ€nglich sind.From the prior art is also the GB-2 190 819 A known, wherein a device for contacting electrical conductors comprises a front housing part and a housing rear part, wherein at least a first electrical contact via first Kontaktierstellen in the front housing part and at least one further electrical contact via Kontaktierstellen in the housing rear part are provided on one side of the device, a gradation between the housing front part and the housing rear part is formed, wherein second Kontaktierstellen are provided for electrical contacting and are arranged in the front housing part such that the height of the housing rear part is smaller than the height of the housing Front part, wherein the second Kontaktierstellen are accessible for electrical contact.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Arten so weiterzubilden, dass die Kontaktierung von elektrischen Leitern und/oder elektrischen Kontaktelementen noch flexibler gestaltet wird und die Montage der Vorrichtung in der Leuchte oder im elektrischen GerÀt weiterhin vereinfacht wird.The invention has the object of developing a device of the type described above so that the contacting of electrical conductors and / or electrical contact elements is made even more flexible and the installation of the device in the lamp or in the electrical device is further simplified.

Die Lösung der Aufgaben erfolgt erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸ durch die in den unabhĂ€ngigen AnsprĂŒchen angegebenen Markmale.The object is achieved according to the invention by the Markmale specified in the independent claims.

Die erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸe Vorrichtung zum Kontaktieren von elektrischen Leitern und/oder elektrischen Steckverbinder weist zumindest einem GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und einem GehĂ€use-Hinterteil auf, wobei das GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und das GehĂ€use-Hinterteil als Einheit ausgebildet werden, wobei zumindest eine erste elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und zumindest eine weitere elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Hinterteil vorgesehen sind.The inventive device for contacting electrical conductors and / or electrical connectors has at least a front housing part and a housing rear part, wherein the housing front part and the housing rear part are formed as a unit, wherein at least a first electrical contact via Kontaktierstellen in Housing front part and at least one further electrical contact via Kontaktierstellen in the housing rear part are provided.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung ist, dass auf einer Seite der Vorrichtung eine Abstufung zwischen dem GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und dem GehĂ€use-Hinterteil ausgebildet ist, wobei Kontaktierstellen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung im Bereich der Abstufung vorgesehen sind.An essential feature of the device according to the invention is that on one side of the device, a gradation between the housing front part and the housing rear part is formed, wherein Kontaktierstellen are provided for electrical contacting in the range of gradation.

Dadurch ist eine Aussenkante bzw. eine Ebene des GehÀuse-Vorderteils versetzt angeordnet im Vergleich zu der Aussenkante bzw. zu der Ebene des GehÀuse-Hinterteils auf derselben Seite der Vorrichtung.As a result, an outer edge or a plane of the housing front part is offset relative to the outer edge or to the plane of the housing rear part on the same side of the device.

ErfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸ werden die Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Vorderteil angeordnet. Dadurch ist das GehĂ€use-Hinterteil zumindest in einer Richtung schmĂ€ler als das GehĂ€use-Vorderteil ausgebildet.According to the invention, the contacting points are arranged in the housing front part. As a result, the housing rear part is formed at least in one direction narrower than the housing front part.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Abstufung zwischen dem GehÀuse-Vorderteil und dem GehÀuse-Hinterteil auf der Unterseite der Vorrichtung ausgebildet ist.It is advantageous if the gradation between the housing front part and the housing rear part is formed on the underside of the device.

ErfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸ wird ein Freiraum auf der Unterseite des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils vorgesehen. Dadurch werden die Kontaktierstellen zu elektrischer Kontaktierung im Bereich der Abstufung gut zugĂ€nglich. Es vereinfacht die Montage und die Verdrahtung bzw. Verkabelung in der Leuchte oder im elektrischen GerĂ€t, da ein Weiterschleifen zu weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen GerĂ€ten, wie beispielsweise VorschaltgerĂ€te oder Konverter, unterhalb der Vorrichtung möglich wird.According to the invention, a free space is provided on the underside of the housing rear part. As a result, the contact points for electrical contacting in the range of gradation are easily accessible. It simplifies the installation and the wiring or wiring in the lamp or in the electrical device, as a further grinding to other electrical or electronic devices, such as ballasts or converters, below the device is possible.

Das GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und das GehĂ€use-Hinterteil können unmittelbar miteinander verbunden werden. Alternativ können zumindest ein Teil des GehĂ€use-Vorderteils und ein Teil des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils einstĂŒckig ausgebildet werden. Vorrichtungen, wobei das GehĂ€use-Vorderteil und das GehĂ€use-Hinterteil getrennt voneinander sind und ausschließlich mittels flexibler elektrischer Verbindungselemente verbunden sind, sind nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung. Dazu wird es bevorzugt, dass die elektrische Kontaktierung aus den Kontaktierstellen im Bereich der Abstufung unmittelbar mit der ersten elektrischen Kontaktierung der Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Vorderteil vorgesehen wird. Weiterhin kann die elektrische Kontaktierung aus den Kontaktierstellen im Bereich der Abstufung direkt im an sich bekannten Stanzteil erfolgen, der fĂŒr die erste elektrische Kontaktierung der Kontaktierstellen im GehĂ€use-Vorderteil vorgesehen ist.The housing front part and the housing rear part can be directly connected to each other. Alternatively, at least a part of the housing front part and a part of the housing rear part may be formed integrally. Devices, wherein the housing front part and the housing rear part are separate from each other and are connected solely by means of flexible electrical connection elements, are not the subject of the invention. For this purpose, it is preferred that the electrical contacting of the contacting points in the region of the gradation is provided directly with the first electrical contacting of the contacting points in the front housing part. Furthermore, the electrical contacting of the contacting points in the region of the gradation can take place directly in the known stamped part, which is provided for the first electrical contacting of the contacting points in the housing front part.

Es bringt den Vorteil, dass keine weitere zusĂ€tzliche elektrische Verbindung zwischen den ersten Kontaktierstellen und den erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Kontaktierstellen notwendig wird. Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung wird dadurch vereinfacht. Kollisionen einer weiteren zusĂ€tzlichen elektrischen Verbindung mit den Kontaktierstellen des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils werden dadurch auch vermieden, da die erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Kontaktierstellen nicht auf der hinteren Stirnseite des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils angeordnet sind.It has the advantage that no further additional electrical connection between the first contacting points and the contacting points according to the invention becomes necessary. The production of the device according to the invention is thereby simplified. Collisions of a further additional electrical connection with the contacting points of the housing rear part are thereby also avoided since the contacting points according to the invention are not arranged on the rear end side of the housing rear part.

Es ist von Vorteil, dass die elektrische Kontaktierung zu weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen GerĂ€ten an den Kontaktierstellen im Bereich der Abstufung fĂŒr starre oder flexible elektrische Leiter, male Pin-Stecker oder Steckverbinder vorgesehen ist. Es können an sich bekannte Kontaktierstellen im Bereich der Abstufung eingesetzt werden.It is advantageous that the electrical contact with other electrical or electronic devices is provided at the contact points in the range of gradation for rigid or flexible electrical conductors, male pin connector or connector. It can be used in the range of gradation known per se Kontaktierstellen.

Dazu wird die gesamte Höhe der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung nicht beeintrĂ€chtigt. Die Höhe des GehĂ€use-Vorderteils bleibt erhalten und die Höhe des GehĂ€use-Hinterteils ist sogar kleiner als die Höhe des GehĂ€use-Vorderteils. Die verbesserte Vorrichtung kann beispielsweise weiterhin in einer an sich bekannten Leuchtenschiene eingesetzt werden, da ihre gesamte Höhe unverĂ€ndert ist, im Vergleich zu den bisherigen Vorrichtungen.For this, the entire height of the device according to the invention is not impaired. The height of the front of the case is maintained and the height of the case back is even smaller than the height of the front of the case. The improved device may, for example, continue to be used in a per se known light rail, since their entire height is unchanged, compared to the previous devices.

Mit der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung können nun mehreren solchen Vorrichtungen in Serie bzw. hintereinander montiert werden, beispielsweise in einem Schienensystem fĂŒr Leuchten, wobei das Niveau bzw. die Montageebene fĂŒr alle Vorrichtungen derselbe ist.With the device according to the invention, a plurality of such devices can now be mounted in series or one behind the other, for example in a rail system for luminaires, the level or assembly level being the same for all devices.

Ein weiteres wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist es, dass am GehĂ€use-Hinterteil zumindest eine elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen GerĂ€ten vorgesehen wird und dass am GehĂ€use-Hinterteil zumindest eine elektrische Kontaktierung ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen zur elektrischen Einspeisung, insbesondere Netzeinspeisung, vorgesehen wird.Another essential feature of the invention is that at least one electrical contact via Kontaktierstellen for electrical contacting with other electrical or electronic devices is provided on the housing rear part and that at the housing rear part at least one electrical contact via Kontaktierstellen for electrical feed, in particular mains supply, is provided.

Dazu können die elektrischen Kontaktierungen ĂŒber Kontaktierstellen am GehĂ€use-Hinterteil als Steckverbindungen ausgebildet werden.For this purpose, the electrical contacts can be formed via contact points on the housing rear part as plug-in connections.

Es bringt den Vorteil, dass eine zusĂ€tzliche Einspeisung vorhanden wird. FĂŒr die elektrische Kontaktierung des Steckverbinders mit der Vorrichtung können vorzugsweise Stanzteile zum Einsatz kommen. FĂŒr eine Netzeinspeisung sind andere Voraussetzungen fĂŒr eine elektrische Kontaktierung zu berĂŒcksichtigen. Es können die gleichen aber gegenlĂ€ufigen Stanzteile im Steckverbinder und in der Kontaktierstelle fĂŒr eine Kontaktierung eingesetzt werden. Dadurch ermöglicht es ein Anschluss fĂŒr höhere StrömgĂ€nge und grĂ¶ĂŸere Querschnitte.It has the advantage that an additional feed is available. For electrical contacting of the connector with the device punched parts may preferably be used. For a mains supply, other requirements for electrical contacting must be taken into account. It can be used the same but opposite punched parts in the connector and in the Kontaktierstelle for a contact. This allows a connection for higher flows and larger cross sections.

Weiterhin können im GehÀuse-Hinterteil zwei Gruppen von Kontaktierstellen vorgesehen werden, jeweils als Abgriff bzw. Stecker. Der Abgriff bzw. Stecker, der gegebenenfalls ein an sich bekannter Stecker sein kann, kann beispielweise zum Weiterschleifen zu anderen Lichtbalken dienen.Furthermore, two groups of contacting points can be provided in the housing rear part, in each case as a tap or plug. The tap or plug, which may optionally be a known plug, can serve, for example, for further grinding to other light bars.

ZusĂ€tzlich kann ein Erdungskontakt an der Vorrichtung vorhanden sein und zumindest eine Kontaktierstelle kann fĂŒr den Erdungskontakt vorgesehen sein.In addition, a ground contact may be present on the device and at least one contact point may be provided for the ground contact.

Bevorzugt ist, dass der Erdungskontakt als Spange auf der Vorrichtung ausgebildet wird und/oder dass der Erdungskontakt im montierten bzw. vorgespannten Zustand mit einem weiteren Bauteil wirksam sein kann.It is preferred that the grounding contact is formed as a clip on the device and / or that the grounding contact in the mounted or prestressed state can be effective with another component.

Diese AusfĂŒhrungsmöglichkeit als Erdungsspange ist besonders vorteilhaft fĂŒr eine Vorrichtung, die in einem Schienensystem eingesetzt wird, da die Erdungsspange im Tunnel des Schienensystems gespannt werden kann.This embodiment possibility as a grounding clip is particularly advantageous for a device which is used in a rail system, since the earthing clip can be stretched in the tunnel of the rail system.

Die erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸe Vorrichtung kann beispielsweise als Leuchtenanschlussklemme verwendet werden, insbesondere fĂŒr Einzelleuchten, die sich auch in einem Schienensystem befinden können. Durch ihre kleine bzw. niedrige Bauform in der Höhe und Breite, kann sie auch bei LED-Anwendungen eingesetzt werden.The device according to the invention can be used for example as a light terminal, in particular for individual lights, which may also be located in a rail system. Due to its small or low design in height and width, it can also be used in LED applications.

Die erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸe Vorrichtung kann vorzugsweise eine schraubenlose Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme sein.The device according to the invention may preferably be a screwless connection or connection terminal.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem auch eine Leuchte mit der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung. Die Erfindung kann auch ein elektrisches GerĂ€t mit der erfindungsgemĂ€ĂŸen Vorrichtung betreffen.The invention also relates to a lamp with the device according to the invention. The invention may also relate to an electrical device with the device according to the invention.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer AusfĂŒhrungsform nĂ€her beschrieben, die jedoch nur beispielhaft, nicht aber einschrĂ€nkend aufzufassen sein soll.In the following, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to an embodiment which, however, should be construed by way of example only, not limitation.
