Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Montage zumindest eines zylindrischen Leucht- oder Anzeigemittels in einer Halterung oder einem Gehäuse entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Solche Gegenstände sind aus der Praxis bekannt, es wird auf die weiter unten abgehandelte WO 2012/158 628 A2 verwiesen.The invention relates to the assembly of at least one cylindrical lighting or display means in a holder or a housing according to the preamble of claim 1. Such objects are known from practice, it will be discussed below WO 2012/158 628 A2 directed.

Derartige Leuchtmittel oder Signalmittel weisen im Wesentlichen einen sogenannten Einsatz auf, der im Wesentlichen zylindrische Form aufweist und in eine korrespondierende Aufnahme der Halterung oder des Gehäuses gesteckt wird. Die Halterung bzw. das Gehäuse weist einen zylindrischen Kragen auf, in den der Einsatz gesteckt wird und der Kragen wiederum weist ein Innengewinde auf, in das ein Befestigungsring geschraubt wird, der den Einsatz im Kragen fixiert. Dieses Prinzip erlaubt eine rasche Montage und Demontage und damit einen problemlosen Austausch des Einsatzes, wenn beispielsweise Leuchtmittel ausgefallen sind oder an geänderte Umstände angepasst werden sollen. Nachteilig ist, dass durch die Art der Verschraubung eine etwa in axialer Richtung von der Sichtfläche nach hinten, zum Ring gerichtete Kraft ausreicht, diesen elastisch so zu verformen, dass er aus dem Kragen rutscht und das daher das Leuchtmittel bzw. Signalmittel nicht mehr fixiert ist, sondern ebenfalls nach hinten gleitet und verdreht, schräg und unter Umständen sogar unsichtbar zu liegen kommt.Such light sources or signal means essentially have a so-called insert, which has a substantially cylindrical shape and is inserted into a corresponding receptacle of the holder or of the housing. The holder or the housing has a cylindrical collar into which the insert is inserted and the collar in turn has an internal thread into which a fastening ring is screwed, which fixes the insert in the collar. This principle allows rapid assembly and disassembly and thus a problem-free replacement of the insert, for example, if bulbs have failed or should be adapted to changing circumstances. The disadvantage is that by the type of screwing approximately in the axial direction of the visible surface to the rear, directed to the ring force is sufficient to deform it elastically so that it slips out of the collar and therefore the illuminant or signal means is no longer fixed but also glides to the rear and twisted, diagonally and possibly even comes to rest invisibly.

Der Grund für diese unangenehme Möglichkeit liegt darin, dass der Befestigungsring einerseits aus Herstellungsgründen (Entformen), andererseits zur Erleichterung der Montage sein Außengewinde nicht auf einem vollständig ausgebildeten Zylindermantel aufweist, sondern auf einer Reihe von Zungen, die kronenartig in axialer Richtung ausgebildet sind und in radialer Richtung elastisch nach innen ausweichen können und es so beim Montieren erlauben, den Ring in das Innengewinde zu drücken und nur die letzte Halbe- oder Viertel-Drehung durch Verdrehen endgültig fixieren zu müssen, was wesentlich rascher geschieht als ein mühseliges Eindrehen von zumeist zehn bis zwölf, jedenfalls aber mehreren, vollständigen Umdrehungen.The reason for this unpleasant possibility is that the mounting ring on the one hand for manufacturing reasons (demolding), on the other hand to facilitate assembly his external thread not on a fully formed cylinder jacket, but on a series of tongues, which are crown-like formed in the axial direction and in Radial direction can dodge elastically inward and allow it when mounting to press the ring into the internal thread and to fix only the last half or quarter turn by turning final, which is much faster than a laborious screwing in usually ten to twelve, but at least several, complete revolutions.

Die eingangs genannte WO 2012/158 628 A2 weist nur eine Unterbrechung im Fortsatz auf, der das Gewinde trägt, entspricht aber dennoch mechanisch den beschriebenen Leuchtmitteln und weist daher die dort beschriebenen Nachteile auf.The aforementioned WO 2012/158 628 A2 has only one interruption in the extension, which carries the thread, but still corresponds mechanically to the described bulbs and therefore has the disadvantages described therein.

Die US 2011/0,254,450 A1 weist einen zylindrischen Fortsatz mit zahlreichen Unterbrechungen auf, allerdings zu einem anderen Zweck, nämlich der Justierung der Leuchtmittel in Umfangsrichtung, muss daher, wie oben beschrieben, trotz der Unterbrechungen über zahlreiche vollständige Umdrehungen eingedreht werden.The US 2011 / 0,254,450 A1 has a cylindrical extension with numerous interruptions, but for another purpose, namely the adjustment of the bulbs in the circumferential direction, must therefore, as described above, be screwed despite the interruptions over numerous complete revolutions.

Es ist Ziel und Aufgabe der Erfindung diese Probleme zu beseitigen und eine Montage zu ermöglichen, die bedeutend zuverlässiger und mechanisch stabiler ist als im Stand der Technik, ohne dass dadurch Mehrkosten oder ein höherer Montageaufwand entsteht.It is the object and object of the invention to overcome these problems and to enable a mounting which is significantly more reliable and mechanically stable than in the prior art, without resulting in additional costs or a higher installation cost.

Die Erfindung löst diese Ziele durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale; mit anderen Worten, die Zungen des Ringes, die das Außengewinde tragen, weisen eine konische Ausbildung ihrer Stirnfläche auf, durch die sie beim Einschrauben in die endgültige Fixierposition von einer Gegenfläche des Einsatzes radial nach außen gedrängt oder zumindest fixiert werden und so nicht mehr durch elastische Deformation radial nach innen über das Gewinde nach hinten rutschen können.The invention solves these objects by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1; In other words, the tongues of the ring, which carry the external thread, have a conical design of their end face, through which they are urged radially outward or at least fixed by a counter surface of the insert when screwing into the final fixing position and so no longer by elastic Deformation can slide radially inward over the thread to the rear.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist noch vorgesehen, das Gewinde asymmetrisch auszubilden, wobei die (in Montagerichtung gesehenen) hinten liegenden Flanken sehr steil, je nach Herstellungsverfahren und dadurch bedingte Grenzen bis zu 90°, somit normal zur Schraubachse, liegen können. In Verbindung mit sehr flachen vorderen Berührungsflächen ermöglicht dies ein leichtes Hineindrücken bis zum Aufsitzen auf dem Einsatz, ein nur um wenige Grade notwendiges Verdrehen bis zum Erreichen der Fixierlage und ein damit automatisch erreichtes Sichern gegen ein Hinausdrücken aus dieser Lage durch axiale Kräfte.In a preferred embodiment, it is also provided to form the thread asymmetrically, wherein the (in the mounting direction seen) rear flanks very steep, depending on the manufacturing process and consequent limits can be up to 90 °, thus normal to the screw axis. In conjunction with very flat front contact surfaces this allows a light push-in to sitting on the insert, only a few degrees necessary twisting until reaching the Fixierlage and thus automatically achieved secure against pushing out of this position by axial forces.

Es werden in der Beschreibung die Begriffe "vorne", "hinten", "außen", "innen" und ähnliches im Landläufigen Sinn verwendet, wobei das Leucht- oder Anzeigemittel im Wesentlichen waagrecht nach vorne leuchtet, seine Frontscheibe somit in einer vertikalen Ebene liegt.In the description, the terms "front", "rear", "outside", "inside" and the like are used in the vernacular sense, with the lighting or display means in the Essentially horizontally shines forward, thus its windscreen is in a vertical plane.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

  • die Fig. 1 eine schematische Explosionsskizze in perspektivischer Ansicht,
  • die Fig. 2 einen Axialschnitt im endgültig montierten Zustand und
  • die Fig. 3 das Detail III der Fig. 2.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows
  • the Fig. 1 a schematic exploded view in perspective view,
  • the Fig. 2 an axial section in the final assembled state and
  • the Fig. 3 the detail III of the Fig. 2 ,

Die Fig. 1 zeigt, rein schematisch, einen Teil eines Gehäuses 1, einen Einsatz 2 der die Leuchtmittel oder Signalmittel enthält, ohne die zugehörige Verkabelung, ohne eine Drehversicherung, etc. all diese Dinge sind im Stand der Technik bekannt und werden durch die Erfindung nicht modifiziert oder beeinträchtigt, sodass ein Eingehen darauf nicht notwendig ist. Weiters zeigt die Fig. 1 einen Fixierring 3, der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel vier flügelartige, in axialer Richtung nach vorne gerichtete Vorsprünge 4 aufweist, auf denen ein Außengewinde 5 ausgebildet ist. Dieses ist zufolge seiner Position in Umfangsrichtung segmentiert.The Fig. 1 shows, purely schematically, a part of a housing 1, an insert 2 containing the lighting or signaling means, without the associated wiring, without a rotation insurance, etc. all these things are known in the art and are not modified or impaired by the invention so that responding to it is not necessary. Furthermore, the shows Fig. 1 a fixing ring 3, which has in the illustrated embodiment, four wing-like, in the axial direction forwardly directed projections 4, on which an external thread 5 is formed. This is segmented according to its position in the circumferential direction.

Das Gehäuse 1 trägt auf der das zugehörige, in Umfangsrichtung durchgehende, Innengewinde 6.The housing 1 carries on the associated, continuous in the circumferential direction, internal thread. 6

Der Einsatz 2 ist im Wesentlich kreiszylindrisch ausgebildet, weist aber in seinem vorderen Bereich einen ringförmigen Vorsprung 7 auf, der im Wesentlichen mit geringem Spiel oder spielfrei in einen korrespondierenden zylindrischen Bereich 7' des Gehäuses 1 passt und mit entsprechenden Vorsprüngen am Gehäuse auch die axiale Lage und unter Umständen die Umfangsposition festlegt. Auch dies ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und bedarf keiner weiteren Erläuterung.The insert 2 is formed substantially circular cylindrical, but has in its front region an annular projection 7, which fits into a corresponding cylindrical portion 7 'of the housing 1 substantially with little clearance or clearance and with corresponding projections on the housing and the axial position and possibly the circumferential position. This too is known from the prior art and requires no further explanation.

Aus der Fig. 1, besonders aber aus der Fig. 3, ist eine erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung zu erkennen, die die Stirnfläche 8 des Befestigungsringes 3 betrifft, bzw. deren Zusammenwirken mit der hinteren Stirnfläche (Gegenfläche 9) der ringförmigen Verdickung 7 des Einsatzes 2: Diese Stirnfläche 8 bildet einen hohlen Konus aus, und die Gegenfläche 9 ist an ihrem äußeren Bereich am ringförmigen Vorsprung 7 ballig ausgebildet und weitet, wie aus Fig. 3 im montierten Zustand ersichtlich ist, die flügelartigen bzw. zungenartigen Vorsprünge 4 des Ringes 3 radial auf, bzw. fixiert sie in der dargestellten Position und verhindert so, dass sie elastisch radial nach innen deformiert werden können, wodurch das Gewinde 5, 6 außer Eingriff käme und die Fixierung des Einsatzes 2 aufgehoben wäre.From the Fig. 1 , but especially from the Fig. 3 , A training according to the invention can be seen, which relates to the end face 8 of the mounting ring 3, or their interaction with the rear end face (counter surface 9) of the annular thickening 7 of the insert 2: This end face 8 forms a hollow cone, and the counter surface. 9 is crowned at its outer portion on the annular projection 7 and widens, as seen from Fig. 3 can be seen in the assembled state, the wing-like or tongue-like projections 4 of the ring 3 radially on, or fixed in the position shown, thus preventing that they can be elastically deformed radially inwardly, whereby the thread 5, 6 would be disengaged and repealed the fixation of the insert 2 would.

Aus Fig. 3 ist auch deutlich ersichtlich, dass die Gewinde 5, 6 asymmetrisch ausgebildet sind, die jeweils hinteren Flanken 10 sind äußerst steil, sodass auch beim Auftreten starker Kräfte in Richtung parallel zur Achse 11 (nur symbolisch eingezeichnet) kaum radiale Komponenten auftreten können. Im Vergleich dazu sind die vorderen Flanken 12 sehr flach ausgebildet, wodurch es möglich wird, den Ring 4 über die Gewinde "ratternd" in axialer Richtung nach vorne bis nahe zur Montagelage entsprechend der Fig. 3 einzuschieben, ohne ihn Verdrehen zu müssen und nur im letzten Stück, entsprechend einer halben Drehung oder einem Ähnlichen geringen Umfangsbereich, durch Verdrehen endgültig zu montieren. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, in dem der Ring mit seinem hinteren Bereich auch im montierten Zustand zugänglich bleibt, sind dort Noppen 13 vorgesehen, die ein händisches Anziehen und damit eine werkzeugfreie Montage und Demontage erlauben bzw. erleichtern.Out Fig. 3 is also clearly seen that the threads 5, 6 are formed asymmetrically, the respective rear flanks 10 are extremely steep, so that even when strong forces in the direction parallel to the axis 11 (only symbolically drawn) hardly radial components can occur. In comparison, the front flanks 12 are formed very flat, making it possible, the ring 4 on the thread "rattling" in the axial direction forward to close to the mounting position corresponding to Fig. 3 to push without twisting it and only in the last piece, corresponding to a half turn or a similar small peripheral area, to assemble by twisting finally. In the illustrated embodiment, in which the ring remains accessible with its rear portion in the assembled state, there nubs 13 are provided which allow a manual tightening and thus a tool-free assembly and disassembly or facilitate.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt zur Vervollständigung einen Axialschnitt im montierten Zustand mit aufgeweiteten und so fixierten Flügeln 4, mit dem Einsatz 2 im Anschlag an das Gehäuse 1, aber auch hier ohne die zumeist vorgesehene Umfangsfixierung, ohne Kabel bzw. Kabelschuh etc., weil dies alles Dinge sind, die vom Stand der Technik beliebig übernommen werden können.The Fig. 2 shows to complete an axial section in the assembled state with widened and thus fixed wings 4, with the insert 2 in abutment against the housing 1, but also here without the mostly provided circumferential fixation, without cable or lug etc., because these are all things which can be arbitrarily taken over by the prior art.

Das Gleiche gilt für die verwendeten Materialien, es ist daher auch nicht notwendig über diese näheres auszuführen.The same applies to the materials used, it is therefore not necessary to carry out this closer.

Die Erfindung kann verschiedentlich abgewandelt werden, so ist es möglich, die zungenartigen Vorsprünge 4 in anderer Zahl und/oder Form auszubilden, der ringförmige Vorsprung 7 des Einsatzes 2 kann Abflachungen und/oder Ausbuchtungen aufweisen, die mit entsprechenden Ausbuchtungen/Einbuchtungen im zylindrischen Bereich 7' des Gehäuses 1 zusammenwirken, um die Position des Einsatzes bezüglich des Gehäuses zu definieren, wie ja Anschläge, Dichtleisten, Kabeldurchlässe bzw. Kabelführungen und ähnliches, was bereits im Stand der Technik bekannt ist, nicht dargestellt und auch nicht beschrieben wurde. Die Ausbildung des Gewindes kann unterschiedlich sein, auf Ausbildungen die das Ausformen erleichtern, wird nur allgemein hingewiesen. Dichtmittel können vorgesehen werden und vieles mehr, was aber den Kern der Erfindung nicht berührt.The invention can be variously modified, it is possible to form the tongue-like projections 4 in a different number and / or shape, the annular projection 7 of the insert 2 may have flats and / or bulges, with corresponding bulges / indentations in the cylindrical portion. 7 'of the housing 1 cooperate to define the position of the insert with respect to the housing, yes yes attacks, sealing strips, cable passages or Cable guides and the like, which is already known in the art, not shown and has not been described. The formation of the thread may be different, on educations that facilitate the molding is only generally noted. Sealants can be provided and much more, but that does not affect the gist of the invention.
