Abstract
Description
本発明は埋込みライト用ハウジングに関する。かかる埋込みライトは、例えば空港の滑走路やタキシング路を照らすべく採用される。通常の埋込みライトはアルミニウム鋳造法で製造され、その寸法精度を得るべく再加工されねばならない。再加工工程は、例えばハウジング蓋に対する設置縁や設置溝を後で切削加工するものである。更にハウジング蓋を取り付けるべく、その設置縁にねじ孔を開けねばならない。ハウジング蓋に位置決めピンを設けるには、その位置決めピンに対し、同様に孔を開け、ねじを切らねばならない。従って、通常の埋込みライト用ハウジングの製造方法は、非常に時間と経費がかかる。 The present invention relates to a housing for an embedded light. Such embedded lights are employed, for example, to illuminate airport runways and taxiing paths. Conventional embedded lights are manufactured by an aluminum casting process and must be reworked to obtain their dimensional accuracy. In the rework process, for example, an installation edge and an installation groove for the housing lid are cut later. Furthermore, in order to attach the housing lid, a screw hole must be made in the installation edge. In order to provide a positioning pin on the housing lid, a hole must be drilled in the positioning pin and a screw must be cut. Therefore, the conventional method for manufacturing a recessed light housing is very time consuming and expensive.
本発明の課題は、上述の欠点のない埋込みライト用ハウジングを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a housing for an embedded light that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks.
この課題は、埋込みライト用ハウジングをアルミニウムダイカスト法で製造することで解決される。この製造法の利点は、ハウジングの寸法精度がもはや追加の切削や再加工を必要としないことにある。 This problem is solved by manufacturing an embedded light housing by an aluminum die casting method. The advantage of this manufacturing method is that the dimensional accuracy of the housing no longer requires additional cutting or reworking.
本発明のもう１つの利点は、蓋の取付け手段を同じ製造法で直に鋳込めることにある。その取付け手段として、（特にステンレス）スチールピンを鋳込むとよい。このスチールピンに予めねじ孔を開けておく。しかし、そのねじ孔を後から設けても差し支えない。 Another advantage of the present invention is that the lid mounting means can be cast directly in the same manufacturing process. As the attachment means, a steel pin (especially stainless steel) may be cast. A screw hole is made in advance in this steel pin. However, the screw holes may be provided later.
本発明の他の有利な実施態様では、ハウジングが蓋を位置決めするための位置決めピンを有する。この結果、蓋を所定の位置にしか置けないので、組立が著しく単純になり、他方では、位置決めピンを同様に直に同じ製造法で鋳込める。 In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the housing has a locating pin for positioning the lid. As a result, the lid can only be placed in place, so that the assembly is significantly simplified, while on the other hand the positioning pins can likewise be cast directly with the same manufacturing method.
本発明の特に有利な実施態様では、埋込みライトが片側にケーブル貫通部のための２つの潜在的な開口を備える。この単純な解決策は、直列接続された埋込みライトとケーブルとの簡単な接続を必要とするので、従来、当該分野で完全に見落とされていた。 In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the embedded light comprises two potential openings for cable penetrations on one side. This simple solution has heretofore been completely overlooked in the art as it requires a simple connection between the serially connected buried lights and cables.
ハウジングの内部にアース接続端子を一体成形するとよい。同じダイカスト法で、ハウジングの外側面にも、１つ或いは複数のアース接続端子を一体成形できる。勿論、大きな費用をかけずに、内部および外部にアース接続端子を設け、これにより、その都度、最良の接続端子を利用し、或いは両アース接続端子を利用できる。その際、外側アース接続端子をケーブル貫通部の範囲に設けるとよく、この結果アース線を大幅に短縮できる。 A ground connection terminal may be integrally formed inside the housing. By the same die casting method, one or a plurality of ground connection terminals can be integrally formed on the outer surface of the housing. Of course, the ground connection terminal is provided inside and outside without incurring a large expense, so that the best connection terminal or both ground connection terminals can be used each time. At this time, it is preferable to provide an outer ground connection terminal in the range of the cable penetration portion, and as a result, the ground wire can be greatly shortened.
本発明の有利な実施態様では、ケーブル貫通部に対する開口を、ハウジングの両側に配置する。２つのケーブル貫通部の反対側に、各々唯一のケーブル貫通部を設けるだけで十分である。これにより、ケーブルを反対側からも引き出せる。この実施態様は、埋込みライトが敷設ケーブルに対し対称的に位置する配置構造に適する。 In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, openings for the cable penetrations are arranged on both sides of the housing. It is sufficient to provide only one cable penetration on the opposite side of the two cable penetrations. Thereby, the cable can be pulled out from the opposite side. This embodiment is suitable for an arrangement in which the embedded lights are located symmetrically with respect to the laying cable.
本発明の他の有利な実施態様では、ハウジングの外側面に少なくとも１つの空洞を設ける。ハウジングは一般にエポキシ樹脂モルタルや他の材料を用いて地中に埋設される故、その空洞は、エポキシ樹脂モルタルとの固い結合を形成するために適用され、これによって、地中におけるハウジングの最良の固定を保証できる。 In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one cavity is provided on the outer surface of the housing. Since the housing is typically embedded in the ground using epoxy resin mortar or other materials, the cavity is applied to form a solid bond with the epoxy resin mortar, thereby allowing the best housing in the ground. Fixation can be guaranteed.
本発明の他の有利な実施態様では、埋込みライト用ハウジングの外側面にフィンを設ける。該フィンはハウジングの表面積を増大し、もって、（空洞および残りのハウジング表面と組み合わせて）ハウジングから周囲材料への熱伝達を改善する。 In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, fins are provided on the outer surface of the housing for embedded lights. The fins increase the surface area of the housing, thus improving heat transfer from the housing to the surrounding material (in combination with the cavity and the remaining housing surface).
以下、図を参照して本発明の実施例を詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
図１は、アルミニウムダイカスト法で製造された埋込みライト用ハウジング１を示す。この製造法の通常の鋳造法に対する利点は、ハウジングの寸法精度に関し、追加切削加工が不要なことにある。この製造法のもう１つの利点は、蓋の取付け手段を直に鋳込めることにある。 FIG. 1 shows a housing 1 for an embedded light manufactured by an aluminum die casting method. The advantage of this manufacturing method over the normal casting method is that no additional cutting is required for the dimensional accuracy of the housing. Another advantage of this manufacturing method is that the means for attaching the lid can be cast directly.
図１において、２は鋳込まれたステンレス鋼ピンであり、該ピンには予め、蓋の取付けボルトに対するねじを設けてある。しかし、ねじ孔を後から開け、その後で、ねじを切ってもよい。更に、蓋を受ける縁部表面に、位置決めピン３を同じダイカスト過程時に同時に鋳込んでいる。通常の埋込みライト用ハウジングの場合、そのために特別に孔を開け、その孔に対応したピンを圧入するか、ねじを切らねばならなかった。 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a cast stainless steel pin, which is previously provided with a screw for a mounting bolt of the lid. However, the screw hole may be opened later, and then the screw may be cut. Further, a positioning pin 3 is cast on the edge surface that receives the lid at the same time during the same die casting process. In the case of an ordinary embedded light housing, a special hole must be made for that purpose, and a pin corresponding to the hole must be press-fitted or a screw must be cut.
ハウジング１は、更に片側にケーブル貫通部４に対する２つの孔を持つ。これは、ケーブルを片側から挿入し、同じ側から引き出すことを可能にする。ここでは、普通の接続技術による通常のハウジングに比べ、ハウジングの外部でケーブルを分岐させる必要がない大きな利点がある。供給ケーブルを他の埋込みライトに導かねばならず、従来、ハウジングの外部にかかる分岐が必要であった。しかし、ハウジング外部でのケーブルの分岐は、その分岐点を保護するために特別な封印やスリーブが必要であり、更に修理時に、該スリーブから種々の分岐点に、アスファルトカバーや底面の開放によってしか近寄れないという欠点を有する。これに対しこのハウジングにおける２つのケーブル貫通部４によれば、ケーブル分岐をハウジング内で行い、継続して案内するケーブルを第２のケーブル貫通部４から引き出せると言う大きな利点が生ずる。従って、ケーブル分岐点はハウジング自体の水密性で保護され、いつでも、ハウジング蓋の開放により接近可能である。 The housing 1 further has two holes for the cable penetration part 4 on one side. This allows the cable to be inserted from one side and pulled out from the same side. Here, there is a great advantage that a cable does not need to be branched outside the housing, compared to a normal housing by a common connection technology. The supply cable has to be led to another recessed light and conventionally a branch has to be taken outside the housing. However, cable branching outside the housing requires special seals and sleeves to protect the branch points, and during repairs, the sleeves can be moved to various branch points only by opening the asphalt cover or bottom. It has the disadvantage that it cannot be approached. On the other hand, according to the two cable penetration portions 4 in this housing, a great advantage that the cable branching is performed in the housing and the cable to be continuously guided can be pulled out from the second cable penetration portion 4 occurs. Thus, the cable branch is protected by the water tightness of the housing itself and is accessible at any time by opening the housing lid.
更に、このハウジング１には、２つ又は３つのアース接続端子５、５′、６を一体成形している（図２も参照）。該アース接続端子５、５′はハウジング外にあり、第２のアース接続端子６はハウジング内の底に存在している。従って、ハウジング１の接地に関し、大きな柔軟性が得られる。 Further, two or three ground connection terminals 5, 5 ', 6 are integrally formed in the housing 1 (see also FIG. 2). The ground connection terminals 5 and 5 'are outside the housing, and the second ground connection terminal 6 is present at the bottom inside the housing. Therefore, great flexibility is obtained with respect to the grounding of the housing 1.
通常の埋込みライト用ハウジングは、その外側面に環状溝を備える。該溝は、ハウジングを地面凹所内に埋設するエポキシ樹脂材料と固く結合すべく使われていた。本発明に基づき、かかる溝又は他の空洞は、既に製造時に鋳造成形できる。図１と２において、これら空洞７、８、７′、８′は、ケーブル入口を設けた側又はハウジング外側面の他の個所に存在している。これら空洞は、勿論、ハウジング外側面の任意の個所に設け得る。
A typical embedded light housing has an annular groove on its outer surface. The groove was used to tightly bond the epoxy resin material that embeds the housing in the ground recess. In accordance with the present invention, such grooves or other cavities can already be cast during manufacture. 1 and 2, these
更に、ハウジング外側面にフィン９を設けている。空洞７、８、７′、８′とフィン９は、他の非常に有利な効果を生ずる。即ち、それらはハウジング外側面の表面積を増大させ、ハウジングからエポキシ樹脂モルタルを経て地面への熱伝達を改善する。ランプで発生する熱が寿命の大きなパラメータなので、放熱の改善は、埋込みライトの寿命延長に大きく貢献する。
Further, fins 9 are provided on the outer surface of the housing. The
