Description

Adapter zum Verlängern von Leuchtstoffröhren Adapter for extending fluorescent tubes
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Adapter zum Verlängern von Leuchtstoffröhren mit einem ersten, auf das eine Ende der Leuchtstoffröhre aufzusteckenden, und einem zweiten, auf das andere Ende der Leuchtstoffröhre aufzusteckenden Adaptermodul.The invention relates to an adapter for extending fluorescent tubes with a first, aufzusteckenden the one end of the fluorescent tube, and a second aufzusteckenden on the other end of the fluorescent tube adapter module.
Derartige Adapter sind zum Beispiel aus der DE 198 54 440 Al bekannt. Sie dienen dazu, Leuchtstoffröhren zu verlängern, so dass sie alternativ in andere Gehäuse eingesetzt werden können. So können zum Beispiel Leuchtstoffröhren des Typs T8 gegen Leuchtstoffröhren des Typs T5, welche nicht nur 50 mm kürzer sind, sondern auch einen geringeren Durchmesser aufweisen, ausgetauscht werden. Leuchtstoffröhren des Typs T5 benötigen weniger Energie. Zudem ist deren Lichtausbeute größer.Such adapters are known, for example, from DE 198 54 440 A1. They serve to extend fluorescent tubes, so that they can be used alternatively in other housings. For example, T8 fluorescent tubes can be replaced with T5 fluorescent tubes, which are not only 50 mm shorter but also smaller in diameter. Fluorescent tubes of the T5 type require less energy. In addition, the light output is greater.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Adapter bereitzustellen, bei welchem eine hohe Entstörsicherheit gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to provide an adapter in which a high interference suppression is guaranteed.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Adapter der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass das erste Adaptermodul eine Zündelektronik enthält und das zweite Adaptermodul mit einer Entstörelektronik versehen.This object is achieved with an adapter of the type mentioned above in that the first adapter module includes an ignition electronics and the second adapter module provided with an anti-interference electronics.
Durch die örtliche Trennung der Elektronik in eine Zündelektronik und eine Entstörelektronik und die Unterbringung der Zündelektronik in das eine Adaptermodul und der Entstörelektronik in das andere Adaptermodul steht in vorteilhafter Weise der gesamte Bauraum beider Module zur Unterbringung der gesamten Elektronik zur Verfügung. Es können daher größere Elektronikbauteile verwendet werden, deren Lebensdauer größer ist sowie deren maximale Arbeitstemperatur höher liegt. Ein Versagen dieser Bauteile ist daher weniger wahrscheinlich. Aufgrund der Auftrennung der Elektronik in die Zündelektronik und die Entstörelektronik wird eine bessere Entstörung erzielt, da die Entstörelektronik von der Zündelektronik, welche um die Länge der Leuchtstoffröhre entfernt liegt, nicht beeinflusst wird.Due to the local separation of the electronics in an ignition electronics and a suppression electronics and housing the ignition electronics in the one adapter module and the suppression electronics in the other adapter module is in Advantageously, the entire space of both modules to accommodate the entire electronics available. It can therefore be used larger electronic components whose life is greater and whose maximum working temperature is higher. Failure of these components is therefore less likely. Due to the separation of the electronics in the ignition electronics and the suppression electronics better suppression is achieved because the interference suppression of the ignition electronics, which is located at the length of the fluorescent tube, is not affected.
Bei einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Adaptermodule mittels einer elektrischen Leitung miteinander verbunden sind. Diese elektrische Leitung verbindet die Zündelektronik mit der Entstörelektronik. Auf diese Weise können Informationen zwischen den Elektronikmodulen ausgetauscht werden und es kann Energie zwischen den beiden Elektronikmodulen übertragen werden.In a further development it is provided that the two adapter modules are connected to each other by means of an electrical line. This electrical cable connects the ignition electronics with the interference suppression electronics. In this way information can be exchanged between the electronic modules and energy can be transferred between the two electronic modules.
Bei einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass die elektrische Leitung von einem starren Gehäuse umgeben ist. Dieses starre Gehäuse besteht bevorzugterweise aus Metall, insbesondere aus Aluminium, und schirmt die elektrische Leitung zudem nach außen ab. Dabei kann das starre Gehäuse in seiner Länge veränderbar sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Länge der elektrischen Leitung exakt an den Abstand der beiden Adaptermodule angepasst werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist das Gehäuse von einem Druckgussstab abgelängt.In a further development it is provided that the electrical line is surrounded by a rigid housing. This rigid housing is preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum, and also shields the electrical line to the outside. In this case, the rigid housing can be changed in its length. This has the advantage that the length of the electrical line can be adapted exactly to the distance between the two adapter modules. Advantageously, the housing is cut to length by a die-cast rod.
Bei einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass das starre Gehäuse Gehäuseteile aufweist, die teleskopartig ineinander schiebbar sind. Dabei sind die Gehäuseteile entgegen einer Federkraft ineinander schiebbar. Dies bedeutet, dass das Gehäuse bestrebt ist, permanent seine maximale Länge einzunehmen. Mit Vorzug weist das Gehäuse einen ovalen oder dreieckförmigen Querschnitt auf, dessen Spitze in Richtung der Leuchtstoffröhre zeigt. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass sich das Gehäuse optimal an die Rückseite eines Reflektors anschmiegen kann, welcher oberhalb der Leuchtstoffröhre angebracht ist.In a further development it is provided that the rigid housing has housing parts which are telescopically slidable. The housing parts are pushed against each other against a spring force. This means that the case strives to permanently assume its maximum length. With preference, the housing has an oval or triangular cross-section, the tip of which points in the direction of the fluorescent tube. This has the significant advantage that the housing can optimally cling to the back of a reflector, which is mounted above the fluorescent tube.
Mit Vorzug ist die Leitung parallel zur Leuchtstoffröhre in die Adaptermodule einsteckbar. Dabei kann das Verbinden der beiden Adaptermodule mittels der Leitung beim Einsetzen der Leuchtstoffröhre in die Adaptermodule vorgenommen werden, oder aber die Leitung wird nachträglich montiert, nachdem die Leuchtstoffröhre mit ihren Adaptermodulen in die Lampenfassung eingesetzt worden ist. Da das Gehäuse der Leitung teleskopartig zusammenschiebbar ist, bereitet der nachträgliche Einbau keine Probleme. Außerdem wird die Leitung verliersicher in den Adaptermodulen gehalten, da das Gehäuse durch Federkraft auseinander gedrückt wird.With preference, the line is inserted parallel to the fluorescent tube in the adapter modules. In this case, the connection of the two adapter modules can be made by means of the line when inserting the fluorescent tube in the adapter modules, or the line is retrofitted after the fluorescent tube has been used with their adapter modules in the lamp socket. Since the housing of the line is telescopically collapsible, the subsequent installation prepares no problems. In addition, the line is held captive in the adapter modules, since the housing is pressed apart by spring force.
Eine andere Variante sieht vor, dass die elektrische Leitung radial zumindest auf einen Adapter aufgesteckt wird. Auch hierdurch wird eine nachträgliche Montage ermöglicht.Another variant provides that the electrical line is attached radially at least to an adapter. This also makes subsequent installation possible.
Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel im Einzelnen beschrieben ist. Dabei können die in der Zeichnung dargestellten sowie in der Beschreibung und in den Ansprüchen erwähnten Merkmale jeweils einzeln für sich oder in beliebiger Kombination erfindungswesentlich sein. In der Zeichnung zeigen:Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description in which, with reference to the drawing, a particularly preferred embodiment is described in detail. The features shown in the drawing and mentioned in the description and in the claims may each be essential to the invention individually or in any combination. In the drawing show:

Figur 2 ein Adaptermodul mit Steckerbuchse für die elektrische Leitung;Figure 2 shows an adapter module with socket for the electrical line;
Figur 3 eine Ansicht auf das Adaptermodul in Richtung des Pfeils III gemäß Figur 2; undFigure 3 is a view of the adapter module in the direction of arrow III in Figure 2; and
Figur 4 einen Schnitt IV-IV gemäß Figur 1 mit eingesetztem Reflektor in vergrößerter Wiedergabe .Figure 4 shows a section IV-IV according to Figure 1 with inserted reflector in an enlarged view.
Die Figur 1 zeigt eine insgesamt mit 10 bezeichnete Leuchtstoffröhre mit verkürzter Länge, wobei auf die beiden Enden 12 und 14 Adaptermodule 16 und 18 aufgesetzt sind, mit denen die Länge der Leuchtstoffröhre 10 auf die Länge herkömmlicher, konventioneller Leuchtstoffröhren verlängert wird. Die Steckerstifte 20 der Adaptermodule 16 und 18 werden in die dafür vorgesehenen Steckeraufnahmen der Leuchtengehäuse eingesteckt.FIG. 1 shows a fluorescent tube with a shortened length, designated as a whole by 10, wherein adapter modules 16 and 18 are placed on the two ends 12 and 14 and extend the length of the fluorescent tube 10 to the length of conventional conventional fluorescent tubes. The plug pins 20 of the adapter modules 16 and 18 are inserted into the appropriate receptacle receptacles of the lamp housing.
Im Adaptermodul 16 befindet sich die Zündelektronik für die Leuchtstoffröhre 10, wohingegen sich im Adaptermodul die Entstörelektronik befindet. Zum Verbinden derIn the adapter module 16 is the ignition electronics for the fluorescent tube 10, whereas the suppression electronics is in the adapter module. To connect the
Entstörelektronik mit der Zündelektronik ist eine elektrische Leitung 22 vorgesehen, die parallel zur Leuchtstoffröhre 10 und insbesondere oberhalb dieser verläuft.Suppression electronics with the ignition electronics, an electrical line 22 is provided which extends parallel to the fluorescent tube 10 and in particular above this.
Aus Figur 1 ist noch ersichtlich, dass die elektrische Leitung 22 axial in die beiden Adaptermodule 16 und 18 eingesetzt ist. Hierfür weisen die Adaptermodule 16 und 18 Steckerbuchsen 24 auf, was aus den Figuren 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist. Diese Steckerbuchsen 24 verlaufen parallel zu den Aufnahmen 26 für die Enden 12 und 14 der Leuchtstoffröhre 10. Aus Figur 2 ist noch deutlich der Bauraum 28 zur Aufnahme der Zündelektronik erkennbar, der vollständig genutzt werden kann. dies gilt auch für das andere Adaptermodul 18, in welchem die Entstörelektronik untergebracht ist.It can also be seen from FIG. 1 that the electrical line 22 is inserted axially into the two adapter modules 16 and 18. For this purpose, the adapter modules 16 and 18 sockets 24, which is apparent from Figures 2 and 3 is apparent. These sockets 24 are parallel to the receptacles 26 for the ends 12 and 14 of the fluorescent tube 10. From Figure 2 is still clearly the space 28 for receiving the ignition electronics recognizable, which can be fully utilized. This also applies to the other adapter module 18, in which the interference suppression electronics is housed.
Die elektrische Leitung 22 weist ein Gehäuse 30 auf, welches von einem äußeren Gehäuseteil 32 und einem inneren Gehäuseteil 34 gebildet wird, die teleskopartig gegeneinander und ineinander verschiebbar sind. Außerdem befindet sich im Gehäuse 30 eine (nicht dargestellte) Feder, die die beiden Gehäuseteile 32 und 34 auseinander drängt. Innerhalb des inneren Gehäuseteils 34 befinden sich die elektrischen Leiter 36 zur Übertragung der elektrischen Leistung beziehungsweise zur Übertragung von Signalen. Das Gehäuse 30 besitzt eine im Wesentlichen dreieckförmige Gestalt, wobei eine Spitze 38 in Richtung auf die Leuchtstoffröhre 10 zeigt. Zwischen dem Gehäuse 30 und der Leuchtstoffröhre 10 befindet sich ein Reflektor 40, wobei der Reflektor 40 eine im Wesentlichen V- förmige Gestalt aufweist und die inneren Enden der beiden V- Schenkel annähernd parallel zu den benachbarten Dreiecksschenkeln des Gehäuse 30 verlaufen. Das Gehäuse 30 schmiegt sich also optimal an den Verlauf des V-förmigen Reflektors 40 an.The electrical line 22 has a housing 30, which is formed by an outer housing part 32 and an inner housing part 34 which are telescopically against each other and into each other. In addition, located in the housing 30 is a spring (not shown) which urges the two housing parts 32 and 34 apart. Within the inner housing part 34 are the electrical conductors 36 for transmitting the electrical power or for transmitting signals. The housing 30 has a substantially triangular shape, with a tip 38 pointing toward the fluorescent tube 10. Between the housing 30 and the fluorescent tube 10 is a reflector 40, wherein the reflector 40 has a substantially V-shaped configuration and extend the inner ends of the two V-legs approximately parallel to the adjacent triangle legs of the housing 30. The housing 30 thus nestles optimally against the course of the V-shaped reflector 40.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Adapters in zwei Adaptermodule 16 und 18, wobei die Adaptermodule 16 und 18 die Zündelektronik beziehungsweise die Entstörelektronik beinhalten, wird eine optimale Entstörung geschaffen, wobei die Zündelektronik mit der Entstörelektronik mittels der elektrischen Leitung 22 verbunden wird, die axial in die beiden Adaptermodule 16 und 18 entweder bei der Montage der Leuchtstoffröhre 10 oder nachträglich einsteckbar ist. Due to the inventive design of the adapter in two adapter modules 16 and 18, wherein the adapter modules 16 and 18 include the ignition electronics or the Entstörelektronik, optimal suppression is created, the ignition electronics is connected to the suppression electronics by means of the electrical line 22, axially in the both adapter modules 16 and 18 either in the assembly of the fluorescent tube 10 or subsequently plugged.
