Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for a lighting arrangement, in particular for a lighting arrangement based on a rail system, for example for lighting purposes in buildings.
  • Lighting arrangements based on rail systems for example for lighting purposes in buildings, are already known.
  • systems have already been proposed in which electrical conductors for providing a supply voltage and control signals are integrated into a rail profile.
  • Such rail systems include, for example, a number of light inserts of different types, for example spots or linear light inserts, which can also be combined.
  • the invention is based on the object of further improving a lighting arrangement with regard to its flexibility in operation and construction, preferably in a relatively simple and economical manner.
  • An adapter for a lighting arrangement which is designed to be inserted into a rail when the lighting arrangement is formed, to receive electrical energy from a conductor device provided in a region of the rail when the lighting arrangement is in an operating state, and an assembly that is connected to the adapter can be electrically coupled when forming the lighting arrangement, in the operating state to be supplied with electrical energy for the operation of light-generating devices.
  • the adapter has a rotary connector and can be electrically coupled to a plurality of electrical phases provided by the conductor device by means of a rotary movement of the rotary connector.
  • the adapter has a device for phase selection, by means of which the assembly electrically coupled to the adapter can be electrically coupled to a selectable phase provided by the conductor device and electrically coupled to the adapter.
  • One idea on which the invention is based is to equip the adapter that can be inserted into the rail for the selection of the phase to be used. In this way, an improved modular construction of a track lighting system can be achieved.
  • the possibility of selecting the phase to be used, which is integrated in the adapter allows the assembly to be designed to be more space-saving and simple.
  • the possibility of selectively using one of the available phases contributes to flexible and versatile operation of the lighting arrangement.
  • the adapter can be freely positioned along the rail, for example. This contributes to flexibility in the construction of the lighting arrangement.
  • the rotary connector can be rotated about an axis of rotation in order to bring about or cancel the electrical coupling of the adapter to the phases provided by the conductor device of the adapter runs essentially parallel to a depth direction of the rail or along this depth direction. In this way, good accessibility of the rotary connector for an operator and effective coupling of the adapter to the phases can be achieved with a simple construction of the rotary connector.
  • the rotary connector can be rotated, for example, within an angular range that has a size in the range from approximately 60 degrees to approximately 90 degrees, in particular in the range from approximately 60 degrees to approximately 70 degrees. In other configurations, however, a different pivoting range of the rotary connector is conceivable.
  • the adapter can be electrically coupled to the plurality of electrical phases provided by the conductor device at the same time by means of the rotary movement of the rotary connector.
  • Such coupling is simple and efficient.
  • the device for phase selection is set up for electronic selection of the phase to be coupled to the assembly. This can help reduce the number of moving parts and increase the reliability of the setup and the convenience of using the adapter.
  • a selection device that can be actuated by an operator is provided on a side, in particular an underside, of the adapter that points to an open area of the rail when the adapter is inserted into the rail.
  • the selection device can be designed in particular as a button or pushbutton switch.
  • phase to be used on the adapter can thus be conveniently selected and/or manually by an operator, for example by actuating the selection device once or several times the adapter can be placed in an "off" state in which all phases coupled to the adapter are decoupled from the assembly.
  • the adapter has a display device, by means of which the phase selected for the electrical coupling to the assembly of the phases provided by the conductor device and electrically coupled to the adapter can be displayed.
  • the display device is arranged on the side of the adapter pointing towards an open area of the rail when the adapter is inserted into the rail, in particular the underside.
  • the display device can be arranged adjacent to the actuatable selection device on the adapter. The display device can thus be easily seen by the operator, in particular while the selection device is being actuated.
  • the display device can be formed, for example, with a plurality of light-emitting diodes or LEDs, one LED preferably being provided for each phase that is provided by the conductor device and can be coupled to the adapter. For example, it can be provided that the LED assigned to the currently selected, active phase lights up while the other LEDs are dark. The operator can thus quickly and easily see whether and, if so, which phase is selected and active.
  • the adapter has a converter, the coupling of the module with the selectable phase being able to be brought about by means of the phase selection device in such a way that the converter is coupled with the selectable phase in order to use the selected phase to generate the electrical energy for to provide the assembly.
  • the functions of the converter and the phase selection can thus be combined in the adapter, with the adapter being able to be used and placed in the rail as a unit separately from the assembly. Components for converting electrical current are therefore not required in the assembly, which in turn can be made lighter, smaller and simpler.
  • the adapter can also be used to transmit a control signal to the assembly and/or the assembly can be controlled on the basis of a control signal received from the adapter.
  • the adapter can be set up to receive the control signal from the conductor device and forward it to the assembly.
  • the module is thus provided with the control signal, which can be processed and/or interpreted in the module itself, for example.
  • the adapter can be set up to receive the control signal from the conductor device, the adapter being designed with an electronic arrangement which makes it possible to interpret the received control signal and, depending on the received control signal, to transmit a signal to the assembly to form the control of the assembly.
  • the control signal present at the conductor device can thus also be interpreted in the adapter, with the result that corresponding devices at a downstream location, for example in the assembly, can be avoided.
  • the rotary connector has a number of contact elements.
  • the contact elements can be moved by means of the rotary movement from a non-contacting position into a protruding contacting position, in which the conductors of the conductor device can be contacted by one of the contact elements.
  • the contact elements can be moved together and simultaneously between the non-contacting position and the contacting position by means of the rotary movement. This enables easy, efficient and reliable making of contact with the conductors.
  • the rotary connector has a rotatable body, with the contact elements being arranged on the rotatable body.
  • the contact elements being arranged on the rotatable body.
  • two groups of contact elements can be formed, the groups being arranged diametrically opposite one another on the rotatable body.
  • the conductors include a plurality of phase conductors and, in particular, also a neutral conductor.
  • the conductors include one or more control signal conductors, in particular two control signal conductors.
  • the control signal for example a DALI signal, can advantageously be provided.
  • the conductors of the conductor device are located to the side of the adapter.
  • positions of the conductors of the conductor device are arranged essentially symmetrically to a longitudinal center plane of the rail and/or that conductors of the conductor device designed as control signal conductors are arranged opposite one another with respect to the longitudinal center plane of the rail.
  • the subassembly with which the adapter can be electrically coupled is designed as a lighting module.
  • At least one lighting unit is or can be coupled to the assembly and/or at least one lighting unit is or can be accommodated at least in sections by the assembly.
  • the adapter can be inserted into the rail from a lower side of the rail when the rail is installed as intended, in particular transversely to a longitudinal direction of the rail. This makes it easier to insert the adapter.
  • the adapter is part of a track lighting system. In this way, the adapter can help to increase flexibility and versatility in the construction and operation of the track lighting system.
  • An adapter 7 for a lighting arrangement is according to an embodiment in the Figures 1-3 , 4-7 shown.
  • the lighting assembly is formed with components that are part of a track lighting system.
  • assemblies 2 for example optionally configured as light modules 11 and/or as low-voltage tracks (not shown) and/or spotlights (likewise not shown) can be accommodated in a track 3 and combined.
  • additional lighting units can be coupled to the low-voltage rails.
  • the rail 3 can be designed for installation in a ceiling, mounting on a ceiling and/or hanging from the ceiling of a room or from another structure.
  • the track lighting system thus enables assemblies for lighting purposes to be accommodated in a track 3 which, as shown in the figures, can be designed as a three-phase track, alternatively as a five-phase track, or as a track with a different number of phases.
  • the rail 3 is formed with an extruded profile of a metal material, such as an aluminum material, and a conductor means 6 divided into two.
  • the rail 3 has a web and side walls or flanges connected by the web.
  • one side is 3a in 4 a lower side of the rail 3, the rail 3 being formed with an open portion 3b at the lower side 3a.
  • An inner region 5 of the rail 3 and a further outer region 4 are formed by longitudinal ribs 3c, 3c' of the profile protruding into an interior space of the rail 3.

  • the inner area 5 is an upper area and the area 4 is a lower area of the interior of the rail 3.
  • the conductor device 6 is formed with two base bodies 6d arranged laterally in the area 5, of which each base body 6d accommodates three conductors.
  • the conductor means provides three phase conductors 6a, one neutral conductor 6c and two control signal conductors 6b.
  • the conductors 6a,b,c are positioned essentially symmetrically to a longitudinal center plane M of the rail 3 in the cross section of the rail 3 .
  • the control signal conductors 6b each correspond to the central conductor on each of the base bodies 6d and are arranged opposite one another with respect to the longitudinal center plane M.
  • the conductors 6a, 6c are used to provide electric current, in particular alternating current at mains voltage, at a nominal voltage of, for example, about 220-240V, for example 230V, and a mains frequency of, for example, 50 Hz. This can be referred to as "high voltage”. .
  • a DALI signal for control is provided by means of the conductor 6b.
  • a control signal based on other control or dimming methods is also conceivable.
  • FIG 5 shows an example of an assembly 2 designed as a lighting module 11, which contains light-generating devices, in particular LEDs.
  • the luminous components illustrated by the example of the lighting module 11, with electrical energy at a significant be operated at a lower voltage than that applied to the conductors 6a,c, for example at a direct voltage of less than 60V, for example 48V. This shall be referred to as "low voltage”.
  • the adapter 7 is inserted from the lower side 3a of the rail 3, through the open area 3b, into the inner area 5 and is largely accommodated in the area 5, see FIG figure 5 ,
