Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting system with a support rail having an elongated support profile and a current-conducting profile arranged therein, as well as an (electrical or electronic) component with a coupling element for electrically and mechanically coupling the component to the support rail via an opening in the support profile.
  • Lighting systems of the type mentioned at the beginning are basically known from the prior art. These usually have a support rail with an elongated support profile, which has an elongated opening through which one can access the interior of the support profile. Inside the support profile there is a longitudinally extending current conducting profile to which different electrical or electronic components can be electrically coupled. These components are usually arranged adjacent to one another along the elongated opening and often in a row next to one another in order to form an elongated lighting system, such as a light strip. The components are also mechanically coupled to the support profile for this purpose. The components have a coupling element for this purpose, which is electrically and mechanically coupled to the support rail by means of actuation after it has been inserted into the interior of the support profile.
  • this coupling element is designed as a so-called "rotary toggle", which is provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the insertion direction and has electrical and mechanical projections that protrude laterally transversely or radially to the rotation axis, which, when the rotary toggle rotates about the rotation axis, move into corresponding contours (for mechanical coupling) or the current-conducting profile (for electrical coupling).
  • rotary toggle which is provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the insertion direction and has electrical and mechanical projections that protrude laterally transversely or radially to the rotation axis, which, when the rotary toggle rotates about the rotation axis, move into corresponding contours (for mechanical coupling) or the current-conducting profile (for electrical coupling).
  • forces can arise which lead to a deformation of the support profile, which in turn can result in the mechanical coupling becoming loose or, in the worst case, failing.
  • the US 2009/284988 A1 , the EP 0 515 315 A1 and the EP 1 473 807 A1 each relate to a lighting system comprising a support rail and an actuatable component.
  • the present invention relates to a lighting system which has a mounting rail and an (electrical or electronic) component.
  • the mounting rail in turn has an elongated support profile with a longitudinal extension.
  • the support profile in turn delimits an interior space.
  • the mounting rail also has a current-conducting profile that extends long into the interior.
  • the current conduction profile in turn has wires for power supply and/or transmission of digital control commands.
  • the support profile is formed by at least two side walls that delimit an elongated opening laterally opposite each other and a rear wall connecting the side walls. These therefore preferably limit the above-described interior space of the elongated support profile.
  • the component in turn has a coupling element.
  • the coupling element can be inserted into the interior of the support profile via the opening and can be actuated there in such a way that at the same time a contacting element of the coupling element electrically contacts the wires of the current-conducting profile for the electrical connection of the component and a locking element of the coupling element with locking sections of the side walls of the support profile provided on both sides of the opening to mechanically couple the component to the support profile.
  • the component also has a locking element with locking sections. When the coupling element is inserted, the locking sections are arranged adjacent to one of the side walls on an outer side of this side wall facing away from the interior, so that when the coupling element is actuated, the locking sections enable the mechanical coupling to be released - and preferably also the electrical connection, i.e. preferably under Maintaining the electrical contact - prevent the respective side wall from migrating away from the interior.
  • the component is therefore provided with a further protection mechanism.
  • the component is thus provided together with the prescribed locking element.
  • the locking element is positioned accordingly and is provided adjacent to the respective side wall or side walls on the outside in order to limit or prevent their migration laterally in such a way that even when the coupling element is actuated and thus any transverse forces that may occur due to contacting the Contacting elements with the wires or interaction of the locking elements with corresponding locking sections prevents the mechanical - and preferably also electrical - coupling from being released.
  • electrical contacting is provided with significantly larger tolerances than the mechanical coupling, so that failure usually occurs first in the mechanical coupling.
  • the failure of the mechanical coupling usually represents a greater danger from a safety perspective, since a falling light is more serious than, for example, a light that cannot be operated properly due to a failure of an electrical contact. It is therefore possible with the system according to the invention, for example, to mechanically securely couple heavy components to the mounting rail. It is also possible to provide complex electrical contacting in a safe manner (e.g. with sufficiently large tolerances through electrical spring contacts) without fear of impairment of the mechanical coupling. Due to the additional stabilization of the mechanical coupling, it is also conceivable to design the support profile more delicately, since the mechanical coupling is now securely supported over a wider area and these are preferably provided in opposite directions as a type of clamp connection. This in turn allows more flexibility with regard to the choice of material, for example with regard to type and material thickness as well as with regard to the design of the lighting system and in particular the support profile.
  • the locking sections can preferably protrude towards the interior in such a way that when the coupling element is actuated, the locking element Locking sections for mechanically coupling the components to the support profile. In this way, a particularly simple mechanical coupling can be provided, which is ultimately effectively secured by the locking element.
  • At least one locking section is correspondingly assigned to each side wall.
  • the lighting system as a whole can be designed to be particularly safe. This also enables more flexibility with regard to the entire lighting system and in particular the design of the support profile.
  • the locking sections are preferably designed integrally with one another to form the locking element. This allows the stability of the locking element in general and of the locking sections in particular to be further increased. In addition, the locking element can be easily manufactured and handled.
  • the locking element can preferably have a base support from which the locking sections extend; this preferably on the same side of the base support and/or parallel to each other.
  • the locking element can be designed to be stable overall. Arranging the locking sections on the base support also stabilizes them accordingly.
  • a locking element designed in this way is also easy to produce and can provide secure lateral support.
  • the base support can preferably be designed in the form of a plate.
  • the blocking sections can extend as webs to the side of the base support.
  • the webs can be provided along at least part of the opposite sides of the plate-shaped base support or distributed along the opposite sides.
  • the blocking section designed as a web can therefore form, for example, a folded-over side edge of the base support. In this way, a correspondingly large-area support effect can be achieved. If the webs are provided distributed along the sides, the blocking sections can be provided in defined areas. Material can also be saved.
  • the blocking element is essentially U-shaped.
  • the comparatively simple structure of the blocking element enables it to be manufactured easily.
  • the U-shaped design provides effective lateral support for the side walls through the locking element.
  • the U-shaped locking element is also easy to assemble and automatically surrounds the relevant side walls when installing the component, which facilitates intuitive assembly when the components are correctly positioned.
  • the blocking sections can each be arranged in groups of two or more blocking sections. These can preferably be arranged transversely to the longitudinal extension and essentially in alignment with one another.
  • the functional assignment of several blocking sections can ensure a high overall stability of the blocking element.
  • the blocking sections are arranged in alignment, they can serve to ensure a particularly high stability of the lighting system in general and the mechanical coupling in particular in a defined area.
  • each side wall Preferably, several locking sections can be provided for each side wall. These are preferably provided at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal extension. This increases the overall stability of the locking element and enables it to be provided at desired, defined positions.
  • the actuation is preferably a rotary movement. This can particularly preferably take place around at least one fixed axis of rotation.
  • the coupling element is preferably designed to be rotatable for actuation. Actuation by means of a rotary movement requires comparatively little space, so that the components can be designed as compactly as possible.
  • the coupling element can be designed as a rotary toggle or have one. Using a simple but safe mechanism, the contacting element and the locking element can be pivoted and thus brought into operative contact with the corresponding areas on the side of the mounting rail.
  • the coupling element can preferably be designed in several parts.
  • the multiple parts can preferably engage with one another in such a way that actuation of one of the parts causes the actuation of all parts.
  • each of the parts can preferably have a (fixed) axis of rotation.
  • These multiple axes of rotation can particularly preferably be aligned parallel to one another. In this way, it is possible to distribute the contacting elements and locking elements in any way over these parts in order to provide them in defined and, ideally, functionally optimal positions. It can also be made easy, for example, by means of these multiple parts to provide the number of electrical contacting parts or mechanical coupling parts as desired; for example, to increase them. This means that an overall particularly flexible lighting system can be provided.
  • the coupling element can preferably have a plurality of contacting elements or correspondingly a plurality of contacting parts for electrical contacting and/or a plurality of locking elements or a plurality of locking parts for mechanical coupling.
  • the lighting system can therefore be provided and designed with a high degree of flexibility.
  • the current-conducting profile can preferably be arranged on at least one of the two inner sides of the side walls facing the interior.
  • the wires can then be accessible via longitudinal grooves extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent.
  • the contacting element can then be designed to be retractable into the grooves for electrical contacting with the wires when the coupling element is inserted by actuating the coupling element.
  • An example of such a design is a rotary toggle already described above. In this way, electrical contacting can be provided in a particularly simple manner.
  • the lighting system can preferably have several of the support rails, which are preferably provided in a row adjacent to one another lengthwise. In this way, a lighting system of any length and branching can be formed, which significantly increases the flexibility of the lighting system as a whole. It is also preferred that the interiors of the support rails or of their support profiles form a coherent system space. This in turn can preferably be accessible through a coherent system opening formed from the openings for inserting the coupling element into the system space and there for actuating the coupling element. In this way, it can be possible, for example, to form a system of any design, which can be equipped with components at any position and continuously, independently of the individual support rails and over the entire length of the system. This in turn further increases the flexibility of the lighting system.
  • the lighting system can have several of the components, which are then preferably provided along the opening or along the system opening and are preferably provided adjacent to one another.
  • the lighting system can be equipped with different and multiple components in any way, which further increases the overall flexibility of the lighting system.
  • the component can particularly preferably be any type of electrical or electronic component, such as a lamp, a sensor, a loudspeaker, an operating device, or a combination thereof.

  • the support profile 20 is essentially U-shaped in the profile cross section in the direction of the longitudinal extension.
  • the Profile cross-section can also have any other shape or contour, such as a V-shape, a partial circle shape, and the like.
  • the side walls 24, 25 and the rear wall 26 can be connected to one another in any other way and by further elements or, as shown, merge directly into one another.
  • the support profile 20 can have different structural areas.
