Definitions

  • the invention relates to lighting arrangements with a rail profile or a rail, in particular for lighting purposes in buildings, for example in the interiors of these.
  • 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.
  • a lighting system that includes a channel for receiving a lighting unit that can be inserted into it.
  • a connector insertable into the channel is configured to electrically couple bus bar sections together. When inserted into the channel, the lighting unit and the connector can be arranged in an overlapping manner within the channel.
  • the EP 3 495 726 A1 describes a lighting device with a connecting body which can be mechanically and electrically connected to a guide and which can be inserted into and removed from the guide at least in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the guide.
  • the EP 3 719 394 A1 a lighting device with a lamp and an adapter.
  • the adapter is used to connect the light to a rail as a carrier.
  • a connecting section of the adapter has a sliding element which can be slidably connected to the rail serving as a carrier.
  • the lamp in turn has a guide rail with first electrical contacts, while the adapter has a carriage with second electrical contacts, which is slidably connected to the guide rail.
  • An intermediate section is provided between the carriage and the connecting section and defines a pivot joint between the carriage and the connecting section.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a lighting arrangement that offers improved flexibility and at the same time is constructed in a comparatively simple and economical manner.
  • the adapter unit and the subassembly are set up for electrical coupling to one another in such a way that the subassembly can be displaced along a longitudinal direction of the rail profile relative to the adapter unit inserted in the second region of the rail profile.
  • One of the ideas on which the invention is based is to further increase the flexibility and versatility in the construction of the lighting arrangement, on the one hand by allowing the adapter unit to be accommodated at a selectable position along the rail profile and on the other hand the assembly that provides the luminous components or is provided for their coupling or recording, can also be varied in their position along the profile rail relative to the adapter unit. It is therefore possible to avoid displacing the adapter unit and/or detaching the coupling of the adapter unit from the ladder device, in particular for smaller position adjustments. This can be additionally useful, for example, if the conductor device carries an electrical mains voltage, for example, while the luminous components are operated at low voltage, for example.
  • additional scope is therefore created with regard to the positioning of the assembly and the positioning is also made easier.
  • Accommodating the assembly at least in sections in the first area of the rail profile can contribute to limiting the complexity of the construction, in particular with regard to holding the assembly.
  • the assembly is provided for providing direct lighting or for providing indirect lighting. In this way, the lighting arrangement can be useful for many applications.
  • the lighting arrangement also has at least one further assembly.
  • the additional assembly is designed as a lighting module, or at least one lighting unit can be coupled to the additional assembly and/or at least one lighting unit can be accommodated at least in sections by the additional assembly.
  • the assembly and the further assembly are set up for an electrical coupling with one another in such a way that the further assembly can be supplied at least with electrical energy provided by the adapter unit via the assembly.
  • the assembly is designed as a linear lighting module, for example an elongated lighting module.
  • Such lighting modules can be used, for example, to form light bands that enable functional and aesthetic lighting in smaller and larger rooms.
  • the subassembly has strip-shaped contact elements on a side thereof that faces the adapter unit when the adapter unit and the subassembly are inserted into the rail profile.
  • the strip-shaped contact elements can be brought into electrically conductive contact with associated contact elements of the adapter unit.
  • the strip-shaped contact elements extend with their longitudinal direction in the inserted state of the assembly along the longitudinal direction of the rail profile. In this way, the displaceable electrical coupling of the adapter unit and assembly can be implemented in a relatively simple manner. Not only the coupling, but also the cancellation of the detachable electrical coupling can be achieved quickly and easily by a fitter or operator with little effort.
  • the contact elements of the adapter unit are designed as point contact elements, in particular as pin-like or pin-head-like contact elements.
  • the contact elements can thus be designed to be relatively compact and material-saving on the adapter unit and arranged in a space-saving manner.
  • the assembly has a double-sided printed circuit board, with the strip-shaped contact elements being designed as conductor tracks on a main surface of the printed circuit board.
  • Such contact elements can be manufactured expediently.
  • the double-sided printed circuit board can also be provided with light-generating devices, for example LEDs, on its other main surface.
  • light-generating devices for example LEDs
  • the functions of generating light and making contact with the adapter unit can thus be combined on the printed circuit board.
  • space and assembly costs can be saved in this way.
  • the assembly is designed with a rail for coupling and/or receiving the lighting units at least in sections. This allows additional flexibility by combining the rail profile with the rail of the assembly. Flexibility and freedom of design can be further increased by coupling and/or accommodating one or more lighting unit(s) on or in the rail.
  • the rail of the assembly has a through-opening in the area of a web of the rail, which faces the adapter unit when the adapter unit and the assembly are inserted into the rail profile.
  • the assembly also includes a connection unit which can be inserted into the rail of the assembly, the connection unit having a contacting section and the contacting section being insertable into the through-opening in order to bring about the electrical coupling of the assembly to the adapter unit.
  • the passage opening can, for example, already be prefabricated when the rail is delivered or can be flexibly introduced on site.
  • an outer contour of the contacting section can be designed to essentially correspond to a shape of the through-opening.
  • the through-opening can thus be essentially closed, for example, by the contacting section after it has been inserted.
  • connection unit is set up to feed at least electrical energy provided by the adapter unit into a conductor device of the rail of the assembly.
  • connection unit can be latched mechanically to the rail of the assembly or can be clipped into the rail of the assembly.
  • the electrical coupling of the adapter unit and the conductor device of the rail is thus achieved in a simple, reliable and preferably detachable manner and with little effort and little time.
  • the provision of electrical power to lighting units coupled to or received from the rail of the assembly is accomplished in a simple, reliable manner.
  • the adapter unit has strip-shaped contact elements on a side that faces the assembly when the adapter unit and the assembly are inserted into the rail profile, which can be brought into electrically conductive contact with contact elements of the assembly.
  • the strip-shaped contact elements extend with their longitudinal direction in the inserted state of the adapter component along a longitudinal direction of the rail profile.
  • the contact elements of the assembly are designed as point contact elements, in particular as pin-like or pin-head-like contact elements.
  • the contact elements on the assembly can be designed to be relatively compact and material-saving and arranged in a space-saving manner.
  • the contact elements of the assembly are arranged on the contacting section of the connecting unit that can be inserted into the rail of the assembly.
  • a comparatively compact contacting section is thus possible.
  • the conductor device provided in the second region of the rail profile is also set up to provide a control signal, the adapter unit being set up to receive the control signal from the conductor device and to interpret the received control signal, and the adapter unit being set up to start from from the received control signal to form an output signal to be transmitted to the assembly for controlling the assembly and/or to control the assembly based on the control signal.
  • the electrical coupling of the adapter unit and the assembly is set up for the transmission of the output signal to be transmitted to the assembly and/or for the control of the assembly based on the control signal.
  • the assembly is designed as a lighting module and that the lighting arrangement also has at least one further assembly designed as a lighting module. It is provided here that the assembly and the further assembly are set up to transmit the output signal transmitted from the adapter unit to the assembly for its control to the further assembly for its control and/or that the assembly and the further assembly together according to a Master-slave principle are controllable, the module as a master is subordinate to the further module as a slave, and in particular the further module can be controlled as a slave in the same way as the module as a master. In this way, two or more lighting modules can be controlled and supplied together via an adapter unit. If several lighting modules are to be controlled in the same way, a separate adapter unit does not have to be provided for each of the lighting modules. Lighting modules that are to be controlled separately can nevertheless each be coupled with a specially assigned adapter unit. A high degree of flexibility is thus achieved.
  • the further light-emitting module can also be designed as a linear light-emitting module.
  • the conductor device provided in the second area of the rail profile is set up to provide a control signal, with the adapter unit being set up to pick up the control signal from the conductor device and forward it to the assembly.
  • the assembly includes a rail for coupling and/or receiving one or more lighting units.
  • the control signal forwarded to the assembly by the adapter unit in this embodiment preferably unchanged, can thus be made available to each of the lighting units coupled to the rail and/or accommodated by it, which enables single, individual control of these lighting units.
  • the subassembly and the further subassembly are each designed with a rail for coupling and/or receiving lighting units at least in sections and can be coupled to one another in such a way that the control signal forwarded to the subassembly via the adapter unit can be forwarded to the further subassembly.
  • the first area is designed as a first area of the rail profile on the rear when the lighting arrangement is in use.
  • the rear first area is provided for at least partially accommodating an assembly designed as an indirect lighting module
  • the rear first area and the second area are formed adjacent to one another and are delimited from one another by a web of the rail profile
  • the rail profile has a through-opening in the area of the web .
  • the adapter unit On a side that faces the web when the adapter unit is inserted into the rail profile, the adapter unit has a contacting section that can be inserted into the through-opening to bring about the displaceable electrical coupling of the indirect light module to the adapter unit.
  • a significantly simplified supply of the indirect light module can be achieved by guiding the contact section in and through the passage opening of the web.
  • the through-opening can be prefabricated or can be introduced at the desired location as required when constructing the lighting arrangement.
  • the lighting module(s) or the lighting unit(s) can be operated at a first electrical voltage to provide direct or indirect lighting by means of electrical energy.
  • the conductor device in the second area is intended to provide the electrical energy at a second electrical voltage that is higher than the first electrical voltage, and the adapter unit has a converter and is set up to transfer electrical energy from the conductor device in the second Record area and provide the electrical energy for the supply of the / the lighting module (s) or the lighting unit (s) at the first electrical voltage.
  • the conductor device in the second region of the rail profile is designed to provide alternating current at a mains voltage, in particular a nominal electrical voltage of approximately 220 to approximately 240 volts, for example 230 volts.
  • the adapter unit is preferably designed to provide electrical current at a low voltage, in particular a DC voltage of less than 60 volts, for example 48 volts, for the supply of the lighting module or the lighting unit(s) of the assembly.
  • the conductor device provided in the second area of the rail profile has at least one conductor, which is intended to carry a control signal, and the conductor device also has at least two conductors, each of which represents an electrical phase for the electrical supply of the lighting module or of the lighting unit.
  • the adapter unit is set up to couple the assembly to the at least one conductor carrying the control signal and to one of the phases for the power supply.
  • the coupling can take place with or without the interposition of an interpretation and/or processing of the control signal.
  • the coupling to the power supply can take place in particular with the interposition of a converter. Further flexibility in the construction and operation of the lighting arrangement is thus created by the possibility of selecting the phase to be used.
  • At least two times three conductors are provided in the second region of the rail profile by means of the conductor device.
  • the rail profile can be embodied as a low-voltage rail, with the conductor device in the second area being embodied for the purpose of supplying electricity at a low voltage, in particular a direct voltage of less than 60 volts, for example 48 volts, for the supply of the lighting module of the assembly to provide.
  • the assembly can be designed in particular as an indirect light module.
  • an improvement in flexibility during construction and assembly can also be achieved with the aid of the displaceable coupling.
  • the adapter unit and the assembly are set up for electrical coupling to one another by means of cabling.
  • the wiring can be formed in particular with a flexible cable.
  • Such an electrical coupling by means of cabling can enable the assembly to be moved relative to the adapter unit and at the same time be implemented in a cost-effective manner.
  • the assembly can be mechanically coupled to the rail profile in its first area.
  • the assembly can be attached in a simple manner and independently of the adapter unit.
  • the subassembly can be mechanically coupled to the rail profile in the first region in such a way that the subassembly can be displaced relative to the rail profile when coupled to the rail profile. A flexible correction of the position of the assembly when it is held on the rail profile is therefore possible and particularly advantageous in combination with the displaceable electrical coupling to the adapter unit.
  • the subassembly can be clipped into the rail profile or latched to the rail profile in such a way that the subassembly can be displaced relative to the rail profile, in particular along the longitudinal direction of the rail profile.
  • the lighting arrangement can have a further adapter unit, to which a spotlight is permanently connected and electrically coupled for the supply of the spotlight, or which is designed with a coupling device, by means of which a spotlight can be attached directly to the adapter unit and connected to the adapter unit for the Supply of the spotlight can be electrically coupled.
