Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfassend ein Gehäuse, eine im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene angeordnete bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche, welche zumindest bereichsweise in der Ebene gebogen ausgebildet ist und das Gehäuse in einer Gebrauchslage der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung nach unten hin abschließt, eine Reihe von Lichtquellen, welche entlang der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche im Gehäuse angeordnet sind, und einen profilierten Reflektor, welcher ebenfalls entlang der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche im Gehäuse angeordnet ist und das von den Lichtquellen ausgehende Licht in Richtung der Lichtaustrittsfläche lenkt, wobei der Reflektor zumindest zweiteilig ausgebildet ist, wobei ein erster Reflektorteil im Wesentlichen parallel zur Ebene der Lichtaustrittsfläche im Gehäuse angeordnet ist und in einer Draufsicht im Wesentlichen die Form der Lichtaustrittsfläche aufweist, und wobei ein zweiter Reflektorteil vorgesehen ist, welcher mit einer Seite des ersten Reflektorteils verbunden ist und im Wesentlichen quer zum ersten Reflektorteil ausgerichtet ist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a lighting device comprising a housing, a substantially in a plane arranged band-shaped light exit surface, which is at least partially bent in the plane and closes the housing in a position of use of the lighting device downwards, a number of light sources, which along the band-shaped Light emission surface are arranged in the housing, and a profiled reflector, which is also disposed along the band-shaped light exit surface in the housing and directs the outgoing light from the light sources in the direction of the light exit surface, wherein the reflector is formed at least in two parts, wherein a first reflector part substantially parallel to Level of the light exit surface is arranged in the housing and in a plan view has substantially the shape of the light exit surface, and wherein a second reflector part is provided, which with one side of the ers th reflector part is connected and is aligned substantially transversely to the first reflector part. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a lighting device.

Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, wobei die bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche in unterschiedlichsten Formen vorliegen kann. Schon bei einer in sich geschlossenen ringförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche ist eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Typen möglich, da der Ring mit unterschiedlichen Radien und Breiten ausgebildet sein kann.Lighting devices according to the preamble of claim 1 are known from the prior art, wherein the band-shaped light exit surface can be present in a variety of forms. Even with a self-contained annular light exit surface a variety of different types is possible, since the ring can be formed with different radii and widths.

Die DE 11 2013 00 43 50 T5 zeigt beispielsweise einen Reflektor, welcher aus einem ersten Reflektorteil, auf welchem Lichtquellen angeordnet sind, und den im Wesentlichen quer dazu ausgerichteten Reflektorteilen gebildet ist.The DE 11 2013 00 43 50 T5 shows, for example, a reflector which is formed from a first reflector part, on which light sources are arranged, and the reflector parts oriented substantially transversely thereto.

Bei den Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen gemäß dem Stand der Technik wird der profilierte Reflektor, welcher entlang der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche im Gehäuse angeordnet ist und das von den Lichtquellen ausgehende Licht in Richtung der Lichtaustrittsfläche lenkt, im Gussverfahren hergestellt, was mit einem hohen produktionstechnischen Aufwand verbunden ist, da der profilierte Reflektor bei jedem Typ von bandförmiger Lichtaustrittsfläche eine unterschiedliche Form aufweist und somit das Gussverfahren auf jeden Typ von bandförmiger Lichtaustrittsfläche abgestimmt werden muss. Auch der Platzbedarf bei der Produktion ist enorm, da für jeden Typ von bandförmiger Lichtaustrittsfläche eine bestimmte Anzahl an passenden Reflektoren bevorratet werden muss.In the lighting devices according to the prior art, the profiled reflector, which is arranged along the band-shaped light exit surface in the housing and directs the outgoing light from the light sources in the direction of the light exit surface, produced in the casting process, which is associated with a high production outlay because of profiled reflector in each type of band-shaped light exit surface has a different shape and thus the casting process must be tailored to each type of band-shaped light exit surface. Also, the space required for production is enormous, since for each type of band-shaped light exit surface a certain number of matching reflectors must be stored.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, diese Nachteile beim Stand der Technik zu vermeiden und eine verbesserte Beleuchtungsvorrichtung anzugeben, die sich bei der Herstellung flexibler an den jeweiligen Typ von bandförmiger Lichtaustrittsfläche anpassen lässt und die mit geringeren Produktionskosten und Kosten für die Lagerung verbunden ist. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein entsprechendes Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung anzugeben.The object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages in the prior art and to provide an improved lighting device that can be adapted more flexibly to the particular type of belt-shaped light exit surface during manufacture and which is associated with lower production costs and storage costs. Another object of the invention is to provide a corresponding method for producing such a lighting device.

Diese Aufgaben werden durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 14 gelöst.These objects are solved by the features of independent claims 1 and 14.

Demnach ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das zweite Reflektorteil aus einem flexiblen Material besteht, sodass es an die Form der Seite des ersten Reflektorteils anpassbar ist.Accordingly, it is provided according to the invention that the second reflector part consists of a flexible material, so that it is adaptable to the shape of the side of the first reflector part.

Das erste Reflektorteil weist zwar in einer Draufsicht im Wesentlichen die Form der Lichtaustrittsfläche auf und muss dementsprechend auf jeden Typ der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche angepasst werden; die Herstellung des ersten Reflektorteils lässt sich aber stark vereinfachen, da es nun nicht mehr im Gussverfahren hergestellt werden muss, sondern z.B. durch Ausstanzen erzeugt werden kann.Although the first reflector part has in a plan view substantially the shape of the light exit surface and must be adapted accordingly to each type of band-shaped light exit surface; However, the production of the first reflector part can be greatly simplified, since it is no longer in the Casting must be made, but can be generated by punching, for example.

Das zweite Reflektorteil kann für jeden Typ von bandförmiger Lichtaustrittsfläche verwendet werden: es muss hierzu nur der Form der Seite des ersten Reflektorteils angepasst werden, was - da das zweite Reflektorteil aus einem flexiblen Material besteht - sehr einfach möglich ist. Das zweite Reflektorteil kann unabhängig von der herzustellenden Beleuchtungsvorrichtung bereits auf Vorrat, beispielsweise in Form eines kontinuierlichen Materialstrangs aus Kunststoff, hergestellt werden. Im Zuge der Herstellung einer konkreten Beleuchtungsvorrichtung wird dann ein Stück mit der erforderlichen Länge vom kontinuierlichen Materialstrang abgetrennt und mit einer Seite des ersten Reflektorteils verbunden, wobei das zweite Reflektorteil der Form der Seite des ersten Reflektorteils angepasst wird.The second reflector part can be used for any type of band-shaped light exit surface: it only needs to be adapted to the shape of the side of the first reflector part, which - since the second reflector part is made of a flexible material - is very easy. The second reflector part can be produced independently of the illumination device to be produced already in stock, for example in the form of a continuous strand of plastic material. In the course of producing a specific lighting device, a piece with the required length is then separated from the continuous strand of material and connected to one side of the first reflector part, the second reflector part being adapted to the shape of the side of the first reflector part.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass das zweite Reflektorteil lösbar mit dem ersten Reflektorteil, vorzugsweise über eine Rastverbindung, verbunden ist. Entsprechend würde das Verbinden des zweiten Reflektorteils mit dem ersten Reflektorteil im Zuge des Verfahrens zur Herstellung der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung durch Einrasten des ersten Reflektorteils in das zweite Reflektorteil, oder umgekehrt, erfolgen. In diesem Zusammenhang bietet es sich an, dass an einer Seite des zweiten Reflektorteils bereits eine Rastnut vorgesehen ist, in welche das erste Reflektorteil mit einem Vorsprung einrastet.A preferred embodiment is that the second reflector part is detachably connected to the first reflector part, preferably via a latching connection. Correspondingly, connecting the second reflector part to the first reflector part in the course of the method for producing the lighting device would be effected by latching the first reflector part into the second reflector part, or vice versa. In this context, it makes sense that on one side of the second reflector part, a latching groove is already provided, into which the first reflector part engages with a projection.

In produktionstechnischer Hinsicht hat es sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass das erste Reflektorteil im Wesentlichen aus einem ausgestanzten Blechteil besteht, und/oder das zweite Reflektorteil im Wesentlichen aus einem Kunststoffprofil besteht.In terms of production technology, it has proved to be advantageous that the first reflector part essentially consists of a stamped-out sheet metal part, and / or the second reflector part consists essentially of a plastic profile.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass ein dritter Reflektorteil vorgesehen ist, welcher mit einer Seite des ersten Reflektorteils verbunden ist, die der Seite, über welche das zweite Reflektorteil mit dem ersten Reflektorteil verbunden ist, gegenüberliegt. Dabei kann es vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, dass das dritte Reflektorteil und das zweite Reflektorteil im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind, und/oder der Reflektor im Querschnitt H-förmig ausgebildet, und/oder spiegelsymmetrisch zu einer Symmetrieachse ausgebildet ist.A particularly preferred embodiment consists in that a third reflector part is provided, which is connected to one side of the first reflector part, which is the side through which the second reflector part with the first reflector part is connected, opposite. It may preferably be provided that the third reflector part and the second reflector part are aligned substantially parallel to each other, and / or the reflector in cross-section H-shaped, and / or is formed mirror-symmetrically to an axis of symmetry.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung sind in den Ansprüchen 4 bis 6 und 10 bis 13 definiert.Further preferred embodiments of the lighting device according to the invention are defined in claims 4 to 6 and 10 to 13.

Wie eingangs ausgeführt, wird Schutz auch begehrt für ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung. Dieses Verfahren ist gekennzeichnet durch die folgenden Verfahrensschritte:

  • Erzeugen des ersten Reflektorteils mit einer Form, welche in der Draufsicht im Wesentlichen der Form der Lichtaustrittsfläche entspricht,
  • Bereitstellen des zweiten Reflektorteils,
  • Anpassen des zweiten Reflektorteils an die Form der Seite des ersten Reflektorteils,
  • Verbinden des zweiten Reflektorteils mit der Seite des ersten Reflektorteils,
  • Anordnen der Reflektorteile und der Reihe von Lichtquellen im Gehäuse der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung, und
  • Abschließen des Gehäuses mit der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche.
As mentioned above, protection is also desired for a method for producing the lighting device according to the invention. This process is characterized by the following process steps:
  • Producing the first reflector part with a shape which corresponds in plan view substantially to the shape of the light exit surface,
  • Providing the second reflector part,
  • Adapting the second reflector part to the shape of the side of the first reflector part,
  • Connecting the second reflector part to the side of the first reflector part,
  • Arranging the reflector parts and the row of light sources in the housing of the lighting device, and
  • Completing the housing with the band-shaped light exit surface.

Figur 1 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1, wobei in diesem Fall die bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 in sich geschlossen ausgebildet ist und eine Außenkontur 28 aufweist, welche kreisförmig ausgebildet ist. Eine Konsequenz der Tatsache, dass es sich um eine bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche handelt und diese in sich geschlossen ausgebildet ist, ist dass die Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 eine innenliegende Ausnehmung 37 aufweist. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a lighting device 1 according to the invention, in which case the band-shaped light exit surface 6 is annular. This means that the light exit surface 6 is formed closed in itself and has an outer contour 28 which is circular. A consequence of the fact that it is a band-shaped light exit surface and this is formed closed in itself is that the light exit surface 6 has an inner recess 37.

Im vorliegenden Fall weist die bogenförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 über ihre Länge 26 eine im Wesentlichen gleichbleibende Breite 27 auf.In the present case, the arcuate light exit surface 6 has over its length 26 a substantially constant width 27.

Die Tatsache, dass die bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 in sich geschlossen ausgebebildet ist, schließt nicht Ausführungsformen aus, in welchen die Lichtaustrittsfläche aus Segmenten zusammengesetzt ist, die aneinander angrenzen, wie dies vorliegend der Fall ist: Die Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 ist nämlich aus zwei Ringhälften 33 und 34 (vergleiche Figur 2) zusammengesetzt.The fact that the band-shaped light exit surface 6 is self-contained does not preclude embodiments in which the light exit surface is composed of segments adjoining one another, as is the case here: the light exit surface 6 is composed of two ring halves 33 and 34 (see FIG. 2 ).

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 umfasst weiterhin ein Gehäuse 5, welches durch die bandförmige Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 in einer Gebrauchslage der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 nach unten hin abgeschlossen ist. Das Gehäuse 5 weist in der Draufsicht ebenfalls im Wesentlichen die Form der Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 auf und ist im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet.The lighting device 1 further comprises a housing 5, which is closed by the band-shaped light exit surface 6 in a position of use of the lighting device 1 downwards. The housing 5 also has the shape of the light exit surface 6 substantially in plan view and is substantially U-shaped in cross-section.

Zumindest die Außenseite 38 und die Innenseite 39 sind vorteilhafterweise aus Aluminium gefertigt. Diese Aluminiumseiten können eine Farbbeschichtung aufweisen. Über seine Oberseite 40 kann das Gehäuse 5 und damit die gesamte Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 über Aufhängungen 31 an einer Decke oder dergleichen befestigt werden.At least the outside 38 and the inside 39 are advantageously made of aluminum. These aluminum sides can have a color coating. About its top 40, the housing 5 and thus the entire lighting device 1 via suspensions 31 are attached to a ceiling or the like.

In der Figur 1 ist auch noch eine Stromverteilungsdose 20 dargestellt.In the FIG. 1 is also a power distribution box 20 shown.

Figur 2 zeigt den grundlegenden Aufbau der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 gemäß Figur 1. Und zwar ist die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 im Wesentlichen dreiteilig aufgebaut: Neben dem Gehäuse 5 und der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 ist ein Innenleben 32 vorgesehen, welches anhand der Explosionsdarstellung gemäß Figur 3 im Folgenden näher erläutert wird: FIG. 2 shows the basic structure of the lighting device 1 according to FIG. 1 , Namely, the lighting device 1 is constructed substantially in three parts: In addition to the housing 5 and the band-shaped light exit surface 6, an inner life 32 is provided, which is based on the exploded view in accordance with FIG. 3 will be explained in more detail below:

Eine zentrale Rolle bei diesem Innenleben 32 spielt das erste Reflektorteil 10, welches im Wesentlichen parallel zur Ebene der Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 im Gehäuse 5 angeordnet ist und in einer Draufsicht im Wesentlichen die Form der Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 aufweist. Da die Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 im vorliegenden Fall ringförmig ausgebildet ist, ist auch das erste Reflektorteil 10 in der Draufsicht ringförmig ausgebildet. Bei diesem Reflektorteil 10 handelt es sich um ein ausgestanztes Blechteil.A central role in this inner life 32 is played by the first reflector part 10, which is arranged substantially parallel to the plane of the light exit surface 6 in the housing 5 and, in a plan view, essentially has the shape of the light exit surface 6. Since the light exit surface 6 is annular in the present case, and the first reflector member 10 is formed annular in plan view. In this reflector part 10 is a punched sheet metal part.

In der Gebrauchslage der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 sind Lichtquellen unterhalb des ersten Reflektorteils 10 angeordnet, genauer gesagt an der Unterseite 24 (vergleiche Figur 4) des ersten Reflektorteils 10. Die Lichtquellen sind dabei als LED's ausgebildet und gruppiert auf Modulen 19 angeordnet. Die Module 19 sind über Befestigungsmittel 41 an dem ersten Reflektorteil 10 befestigt. Die Lichtquellen sind entlang des ersten Reflektorteils 10 bzw. entlang der bandförmigen Lichtaustrittsfläche 6 angeordnet. Zumindest die Unterseite 24 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 weist reflektierende Eigenschaften auf. Hierzu kann eine spezielle Beschichtung vorgesehen sein.In the operating position of the lighting device 1, light sources are arranged below the first reflector part 10, more precisely on the underside 24 (cf. FIG. 4 ) of the first reflector part 10. The light sources are designed as LEDs and grouped on modules 19 arranged. The modules 19 are fastened to the first reflector part 10 via fastening means 41. The light sources are along the first reflector part 10 and along arranged the band-shaped light exit surface 6. At least the underside 24 of the first reflector part 10 has reflective properties. For this purpose, a special coating may be provided.

Neben der Funktion, das von den Lichtquellen ausgehende Licht zu reflektieren, und der Funktion, die Lichtquellen zu tragen, kommt dem ersten Reflektorteil 10 weiterhin eine Tragefunktion für zumindest einen Teil der zum Betrieb der Lichtquellen erforderlichen elektronischen Komponenten 21 und 22 zu, welche über zwei Zwischenelemente 35 und 36 an der Oberseite 23 (vergleiche Figur 4) des ersten Reflektorteils 10 angeordnet sind. Bei diesen elektronischen Komponenten handelt es sich beispielsweise um Spannungsversorgungseinheiten 21 und Kabelverbindungseinheiten 22.In addition to the function of reflecting the light emanating from the light sources and the function of carrying the light sources, the first reflector part 10 also has a carrying function for at least part of the electronic components 21 and 22 required for operating the light sources Intermediate elements 35 and 36 at the top 23 (see FIG. 4 ) of the first reflector part 10 are arranged. These electronic components are, for example, power supply units 21 and cable connection units 22.

Und schließlich sind an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des ersten Reflektorteils 10 ein innenliegendes zweites Reflektorteil 11 und ein außenliegendes drittes Reflektorteil 12 angeordnet, wobei diese beiden Reflektorteile 11 und 12 jeweils mit einer Seite 13 und 14 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 verbunden sind (vergleiche Figur 4) und im Wesentlichen quer zum ersten Reflektorteil 10 ausgerichtet sind.And finally, on opposite sides of the first reflector part 10, an inner second reflector part 11 and an outer third reflector part 12 are arranged, these two reflector parts 11 and 12 are each connected to a side 13 and 14 of the first reflector part 10 (see FIG. 4 ) and are aligned substantially transversely to the first reflector part 10.

Aus der Querschnittsdarstellung der Figur 4 geht hervor, dass das dritte Reflektorteil 12 und das zweite Reflektorteil 11 im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind und der Reflektor, der aus den drei Teilen 10, 11 und 12 gebildet ist, im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen H-förmig ausgebildet ist. Darüber hinaus ist der Reflektor 10, 11, 12 spiegelsymmetrisch zu einer Symmetrieachse 25 ausgebildet.From the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 shows that the third reflector part 12 and the second reflector part 11 are aligned substantially parallel to each other and the reflector, which is formed from the three parts 10, 11 and 12, is formed in cross-section substantially H-shaped. In addition, the reflector 10, 11, 12 is mirror-symmetrical to an axis of symmetry 25.

Das zweite Reflektorteil 11 und das dritte Reflektorteil 12 sind lösbar mit dem ersten Reflektorteil 10 über eine Rastverbindung verbunden, wobei diese Rastverbindung beispielsweise dadurch realisiert sein kann, dass an einer Seite 42 des zweiten bzw. dritten Reflektorteils 11 bzw. 12 eine Rastnut ausgebildet ist, welche durch zwei Stege 15 und 18 seitlich begrenzt ist. An dem freien Ende des Stegs 15 ist ein Rastvorsprung 16 angeordnet, hinter welchem ein Gegenrastmittel 17, welches am ersten Reflektorteil 10 ausgebildet ist, einrasten kann.The second reflector part 11 and the third reflector part 12 are detachably connected to the first reflector part 10 via a latching connection, wherein this latching connection can be realized, for example, by forming a latching groove on one side 42 of the second or third reflector part 11 or 12, which is laterally bounded by two webs 15 and 18. At the free End of the web 15, a locking projection 16 is arranged, behind which a counter-locking means 17, which is formed on the first reflector part 10, can engage.

Im vorliegenden Fall sind das zweite Reflektorteil 11 und das dritte Reflektorteil 12 identisch ausgebildet. Es handelt sich um ein Kunststoffprofil, welches die Länge der Innenseite 13 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 im Falle des zweiten Reflektorteils 11 bzw. die Länge der Außenseite 14 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 im Falle des dritten Reflektorteils 12 aufweist. Dabei wurden das zweite und dritte Reflektorteil 11 und 12 im Zuge der Herstellung der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung von einem kontinuierlichen Materialstrang mit der erforderlichen Länge abgetrennt und auf die Seiten 13 und 14 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 aufgeklipst. Bei der Verbindung des zweiten und dritten Reflektorteils 11 und 12 mit den Seiten 13 und 14 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 haben das zweite und dritte Reflektorteil 11 und 12 in der Draufsicht auf das erste Reflektorteil 10 die Form der Seiten 13 und 14 des ersten Reflektorteils 10 eingenommen.In the present case, the second reflector part 11 and the third reflector part 12 are formed identically. It is a plastic profile which has the length of the inner side 13 of the first reflector part 10 in the case of the second reflector part 11 or the length of the outer side 14 of the first reflector part 10 in the case of the third reflector part 12. In this case, the second and third reflector part 11 and 12 were separated during the manufacture of the lighting device of a continuous strand of material with the required length and clipped onto the sides 13 and 14 of the first reflector part 10. When connecting the second and third reflector part 11 and 12 with the sides 13 and 14 of the first reflector part 10, the second and third reflector part 11 and 12 have taken on the shape of the sides 13 and 14 of the first reflector part 10 in the plan view of the first reflector part 10 ,
