Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector for a light that has a support profile with a rail receiving space in which there is a separating web that divides the rail receiving space into a first rail receiving chamber and a second rail receiving chamber, each of which serves to accommodate a current-carrying rail.
  • the invention also relates to a lamp that is equipped with such a support profile, with such a current-carrying rail and with at least one such plug.

  • a lamp is equipped with a support profile.
  • the lamp has a linear and elongate shape with respect to its longitudinal direction and is particularly suitable for use in a light strip in which several such lamps are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the support profile has a profile body that is straight and elongated with respect to its longitudinal direction and has two opposing lateral profile walls and a profile base connecting the two profile walls to one another.
  • the two profile walls and the profile base delimit a profile interior on three of four sides, while the profile body forms or has a profile opening on a fourth side opposite the profile base.
  • the profile base On its bottom inner side facing the profile interior, the profile base forms a rail receiving space, in which a current-carrying rail can be clipped, the rail receiving space being delimited by a first receiving wall and a second receiving wall, which are formed on the profile base and face one another.
  • a current-carrying rail In the case of the above EP 3 583 606 A1 known lamp is a conventional current-carrying rail is used, which has a linear with respect to the longitudinal direction and elongated rail body, a rail base and several from Rail base has protruding, mutually parallel contact webs. Adjacent contact webs each delimit an engagement groove laterally, that is to say transversely to the longitudinal direction.
  • All contact webs each have at least one electrical conductor, which has a free-standing contact area in one of the engagement grooves, on which electrical contacting is possible.
  • the rail body has a spring bar on each of the two longitudinal sides of the rail base, which interact with the two receiving walls for clipping when the current-carrying rail is inserted into the rail receiving space. In the case of the known lamp, one current-carrying rail fills the entire rail receiving space.
  • the EP 3 583 606 A1 also shows a plug that has a number of plug-in elements corresponding to the number of engagement grooves, so that when the plug is plugged in or mounted, one plug-in element engages in each engagement groove.
  • variants of the current-carrying rail can differ from one another by a different number of electrical conductors arranged therein.
  • Inexpensive variants contain a minimum number of conductors to implement a single circuit.
  • complex variants contain significantly more conductors in order to implement multiple circuits, with one of these circuits in particular also being able to be configured as an emergency circuit.
  • the provision of a comparatively large number of different variants for the current-carrying rail requires a great deal of logistics.
  • the use of simple variants is associated with a comparatively high consumption of material, as a result of which these simple variants are relatively expensive.
  • a lamp is known in which a separating web is formed on the profile base, which divides the rail receiving space into two rail receiving chambers divided, in each of which a current-carrying rail is arranged.
  • An associated plug engages with its plug-in elements in the engagement grooves of both current-carrying rails.
  • the present invention deals with the problem of demonstrating an advantageous or at least another embodiment for a lamp of the type described above and for the associated plug, which is characterized in particular by reduced production costs with regard to the formation of variants.
  • the invention is based on the general idea of designing the support profile on the profile base in such a way that the rail receiving space is divided into two rail receiving chambers running parallel to one another, into each of which a correspondingly smaller current-carrying rail can be clipped.
  • This makes it possible to equip the two rail receiving chambers independently of one another with a current-carrying rail.
  • it can be provided for simple variants to equip only one of the current-carrying chambers with a current-carrying rail, while the other rail-carrying chamber remains free.
  • the same current-carrying rails or also different current-carrying rails can be used in the two rail receiving chambers.
  • a plug according to the invention for such a lamp can be used as a feeder and serve to feed electrical energy into a current-carrying rail.
  • a plug of this type can also be used as a tap and can be used to tap electrical energy from a current-carrying rail.
  • the respective plug has a plug body which has a plurality of web- or rod-shaped plug-in elements which protrude on a plug side of the plug body and which engage in an engagement groove of the current-carrying rail when the plug is inserted into a current-carrying rail.
  • a rod-shaped plug-in element has a cross-section transverse to the plug-in direction, the width and length of which are approximately the same size.
  • a web-shaped plug-in element has a cross-section transverse to the plug-in direction, in which the length is significantly greater than the width.
  • At least one of the plug-in elements has at least one mating contact area which makes electrical contact with a contact area of a conductor of the current-carrying rail when the plug is plugged into the current-carrying rail.
  • the plug according to the invention is now characterized in that the plug body also has a rod-shaped or web-shaped centering element protruding on the plug-in side, which differs from the plug-in elements and which, when the plug is plugged into the current-carrying rail in the area of the separating web, the respective ones adjacent to the separating web and /or contact bridge supported on the separating web laterally, i.e. overlapped transversely to the plug-in direction.
  • the centering element has no counter-contact area; in particular, the centering element is dimensioned shorter in the plug-in direction than the plug-in elements, as a result of which a collision with the separating web is avoided.
  • the plug according to the invention is thus adapted to the support profile according to the invention, which is characterized by the separating web in the rail receiving space.
  • the plug according to the invention is intended for use in a lamp that is equipped with such a support profile.
  • the plug body can expediently also have a neutral conductor plug element which protrudes on a side edge of the plug body on the plug side and, when the plug is plugged into the current-carrying rail, engages in a gap which is formed between the contact web adjacent to the spring bar and the receiving wall opposite this contact web.
  • the neutral conductor plug-in element has a counter-contact area which is electrically contacted with a contact area of a conductor of this contact web which is exposed in the intermediate space and faces the respective receiving wall when the plug is plugged into the current-carrying rail.
  • the current-carrying rail is configured as a standard current-carrying rail for this purpose, so that the mating contact area of the neutral conductor plug-in element comes into contact with the contact area of the neutral conductor of the neutral conductor contact web.
  • a current-carrying rail designed as an emergency current-carrying rail the insertion of the neutral conductor plug-in element into the intermediate space is prevented by the support area and in particular by the cover collar.
  • the respective plug can be designed as a single plug, in which the plug body has an active area and a passive area on the plug side, which are separated from one another by the centering element.
  • the plug-in elements are only formed in the active area.
  • an electrical coupling can only be implemented with a single current-carrying rail.
  • the passive area has no plug-in element.
  • the plug can also be configured as a double plug, in which the plug body has a plurality of plug-in elements on both sides of the centering element.
  • the plug body has a plurality of plug-in elements on both sides of the centering element.
  • the centering element is arranged centrally or centrically on the plug body with respect to the transverse direction and/or is configured symmetrically with respect to the transverse direction.
  • the single plug can be plugged in either with the first current-carrying rail or with the second current-carrying rail.
  • the double plug can also be plugged in upside down with both conductor rails.
  • the centering element on the plug body is arranged eccentrically or eccentrically with respect to the transverse direction and/or is configured asymmetrically with respect to the transverse direction. In this way, it is possible to prevent a reversed assembly with two different current-carrying rails, especially in the case of a plug configured as a double plug, for example if one current-carrying rail is designed as a standard current-carrying rail, while the other current-carrying rail is designed as an emergency current-carrying rail.
  • the double plug can be designed as an emergency plug, in which the centering element is designed and/or arranged asymmetrically, so that the emergency plug can only be plugged into two current-carrying rails at the same time if one current-carrying rail is designed as a standard current-carrying rail and the other current-carrying rail is designed as an emergency current-carrying rail.
  • the selected asymmetry or arrangement of the centering element ensures that only the plug-in elements provided for contacting the standard current-carrying rail can be inserted into the standard current-carrying rail, while only those for contacting the emergency current-carrying rail provided plug-in elements are pluggable with the emergency power supply rail. This measure improves the operational safety of the lamp presented here or of the lamp system presented here.
  • a light according to the invention which is particularly suitable for constructing a light band that has several such lights one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, is equipped with a support profile that has a rail receiving space opposite a profile opening in a profile base, in which there is a separating web that separates the rail receiving space in a first rail accommodating chamber and a second rail accommodating chamber.
  • the lamp also has at least one current-carrying rail, which is inserted into the respective rail receiving chamber.
  • the lamp has a device carrier, which has an elongated and rectilinear carrier body with respect to its longitudinal direction, which carries at least one electrical consumer and which is attached to the carrier profile opposite the profile base and thereby closes the profile opening.
  • the lamp is equipped with at least one plug of the type described above, which is electrically coupled to at least one such current-carrying rail.
  • the respective electrical load can optionally be electrically coupled to the respective current-carrying rail by means of such a plug.
  • the plug can expediently be electrically connected to the respective electrical load via a cable and plugged into the respective current-carrying rail so that the cables are electrically connected to the conductors of the respective current-carrying rail.
  • the respective load can thus be connected to a circuit that is provided in the respective current-carrying rail.
  • the support profile has a longitudinally extending separating web on the profile base between the both chamber walls and protrudes into the rail receiving space.
  • the separating web divides the rail accommodating space into a first rail accommodating chamber and a second rail accommodating chamber.
  • the first rail accommodating chamber is delimited laterally, that is to say transversely to the longitudinal direction, by the first accommodating wall and by the separating web.
  • the second rail accommodating chamber is delimited laterally by the second accommodating wall and by the separating web.
  • the design of the receiving walls and the separating web is such that a first current-carrying rail can be clipped into the first rail-receiving chamber, while a second current-carrying rail can be clipped into the second rail-receiving chamber.
  • the separating web can be a separate component that is attached to the support profile or to the profile base. However, a design is preferred in which the separating web is formed integrally on the profile base.
  • the supporting profile is preferably a shaped sheet metal part made from a single piece of sheet metal by forming, which has the two profile walls and the profile base with the receiving walls and the separating web.
  • the separating web can form a web undercut in the first rail receiving chamber and in the second rail receiving chamber, on or in which the current-carrying rail possibly clipped therein is supported in a holding direction pointing from the profile bottom to the profile opening.
  • the respective web undercut can be formed, for example, by a projection protruding laterally to the associated receiving wall, on which the respective current-carrying rail can be supported in the holding direction.
  • the receiving walls can each optionally form a wall undercut in or on which the current-carrying rail that may be clipped in is supported in the holding direction.
  • the respective current-carrying rail can be fixed along its two longitudinal sides in the respective rail receiving chamber.
  • the wall undercuts and the web undercuts differ from each other, especially geometrically.
  • the respective wall undercut can be further away from the profile base in the holding direction than the respective web undercut.
  • the wall undercut and web undercut thus differ in particular in such a way that a contour provided on the respective current-carrying rail for support on the respective wall undercut and not for support with the web undercut can interact. As a result, a mistake-proof installation of the respective current-carrying rail in the respective rail receiving chamber is realized.
  • the separating web on the profile base forms a longitudinal groove with an undercut contour on a base exterior facing away from a profile interior.
  • This undercut contour defines an undercut in a mounting direction that is oriented opposite to the holding direction.
  • the longitudinal groove has a groove cross section in which a groove width in the interior of the groove, ie at a distance from the groove opening, is greater than in the groove opening.
  • the support profile can be suspended from a building or room ceiling, for example. Since the fastening element can be moved and positioned within the longitudinal groove along the entire length of the support profile, suspended installation is simplified for the support profile and thus for the luminaire equipped with it.
  • the separating web can divide the rail accommodating space symmetrically, so that the first rail accommodating chamber and the second rail accommodating chamber are mirror-symmetrical.
  • This mirror symmetry refers to a plane of symmetry that is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support profile and perpendicular to the transverse direction of the support profile, the transverse direction in turn running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In this way, incorrect assembly of the support profile can be avoided.
  • the current-carrying rail which is suitable for use in a support profile of the type described above, can have a rail body that is straight and elongated with respect to its longitudinal direction, which has a rail base and a plurality of contact webs that protrude from the rail base and run parallel to one another. Adjacent contact webs each delimit an engagement groove laterally, that is to say transversely to the longitudinal direction. Several or all of the contact webs each have at least one electrical conductor, which has a free-standing contact area in one of the engagement grooves. Electrical contact can be made with the respective conductor of the current-carrying rail at this contact area.
  • the rail body also has a spring bar on an outer longitudinal side of the rail base, which interacts with the respective receiving wall for clipping when the current-carrying rail is inserted into the first or second rail receiving chamber.
  • the rail base and/or that contact web which is arranged on an inner longitudinal side of the rail base facing away from the outer longitudinal side on the rail body can form a support contour which, when the current-carrying rail is clipped into the first or second rail receiving chamber, on the separating web supports.
  • This support contour differs from the spring bar, so that the current-carrying rail is configured asymmetrically with respect to its longitudinal center plane. This ensures that the current-carrying rail is installed in the respective rail-receiving chamber so that there is no risk of confusion.
  • the spring bar and support body differ from one another in such a way that the spring bar cannot be clipped onto the separating bar, so that the current-carrying rail overall cannot be clipped the wrong way round into the respective rail receiving chamber.
  • the current-carrying rail can be designed as a standard current-carrying rail, in which the contact bar adjacent to the spring bar is configured as a neutral conductor contact bar and has an electrical conductor that has a free-standing contact area on a side facing the spring bar, which is opposite when the current-carrying bar is inserted into the respective rail receiving chamber the respective recording wall is spaced.
  • This conductor is expediently the neutral conductor, which is required for grounding or as ground in the respective circuit.
  • the current-carrying rail can be designed as an emergency current-carrying rail, in which the contact bar adjacent to the spring bar has a support area on a side facing the spring bar, which is laterally supported on the respective receiving wall when the current-carrying bar is inserted into the respective rail receiving chamber.

  • the contact web adjacent to the spring bar can have a laterally protruding cover collar at its end remote from the rail base, which protrudes over the support area on the side facing the spring bar.
  • This covering collar ensures that a plug, which has a neutral conductor plug-in element for contacting the neutral conductor of a standard current-carrying rail, is not incorrect can be mounted around.
  • the covering collar prevents the neutral conductor plug-in element from penetrating into a gap between the external contact web and the receiving wall.
