Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beleuchtungskörper für die Anbringung an einer Gebäudestruktur, mit einem Befestigungselement, das dazu bestimmt ist, fest an der Gebäudestruktur angebracht zu werden, einem Kupplungsstück, das lösbar auf dem Befestigungselement anbringbar ist und einem fest mit dem Kupplungsstück verbundenen Träger für die Aufnahme von mindestens einem Leuchtmittel, wobei das Befestigungselement erste Kontakte zur Übertragung von elektrischem Strom aufweist, die in zusammengebautem Zustand mit zweiten Kontakten in Verbindung stehen, die am Kupplungsstück angebracht sind, um das Leuchtmittel mit Strom zu versorgen, wobei das Befestigungselement mindestens einen im Wesentlichen zapfenförmig ausgebildeten Vorsprung aufweist, und wobei der Koppelteil eine Ausnehmung aufweist, die zur Aufnahme des Vorsprungs ausgebildet ist, und wobei die ersten Kontakte in einer Öffnung eines zapfenförmig ausgebildeten Vorsprungs angeordnet sind und die zweiten Kontakte auf einer Zunge angeordnet sind, die in der Ausnehmung des Koppelteils vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a lighting fixture for attachment to a building structure, with a fastening element which is intended to be fixedly attached to the building structure, a coupling piece which is releasably attachable to the fastening element and a fixedly connected to the coupling carrier for receiving at least one bulb, the fastener having first electrical power transmission contacts which, when assembled, communicate with second contacts mounted on the coupler to energize the bulb, the fastener being at least one substantially cone-shaped formed protrusion, and wherein the coupling part has a recess which is adapted to receive the projection, and wherein the first contacts are arranged in an opening of a pin-shaped projection and the second contacts on a Tongue are arranged, which is provided in the recess of the coupling part.

Als Gebäudestruktur wird im obigen Sinn beispielsweise eine Hauswand oder eine Geschoßdecke eines Gebäudes verstanden. Ein erfindungsgemäßer Beleuchtungskörper kann aber auch beispielsweise an Möbelstücken angebracht werden.As a building structure is understood in the above sense, for example, a house wall or a floor ceiling of a building. However, a lighting fixture according to the invention can also be attached, for example, to pieces of furniture.

Bei herkömmlichen Beleuchtungskörpern ist es üblich, das Austauschen der Leuchtmittel in situ vorzunehmen. Dies bedingt einerseits gewisse konstruktive Einschränkungen, da ein entsprechender Zugang zu den Leuchtmitteln sichergestellt werden muss und andererseits Schwierigkeiten beim Austausch, wenn der Beleuchtungskörper exponiert angebracht ist.In conventional lighting fixtures, it is common practice to replace the lighting fixtures in situ. On the one hand, this requires certain constructional restrictions, since a corresponding access to the lighting means is ensured and, on the other hand, difficulties in replacement when the lighting fixture is exposed.

Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, kann vorgesehen sein, den Beleuchtungskörper abnehmbar auszubilden. Abnehmbar in diesem Sinn soll bedeuten, dass kein aufwendiger Montagevorgang erforderlich ist, der beispielsweise das Herstellen oder Unterbrechen einer Stromverbindung über Lusterklemmen umfasst. Die Befestigung erfolgt dann beispielsweise über Schnapp-, Schraub- oder Bajonettverbindungen, wobei sowohl die mechanischen Kräfte als auch der elektrische Strom übertragen werden. Solche Verbindungen sind beispielsweise in der DE202012002831 U oder der EP2509171A beschrieben. Wartungsvorgänge, wie etwa das Austauschen von Leuchtmitteln, können so bequem bei demontiertem Beleuchtungskörper vorgenommen werden. Nachteilig ist dabei jedoch, dass die Verbindung aufwendig ist und speziell auf die jeweilige Lampe oder den Beleuchtungskörper abgestimmt ist, sodass bei einem Austausch in der Regel wieder ein herkömmlicher Montagevorgang erforderlich ist.To avoid these disadvantages, it may be provided to make the lighting fixture removable. Removable in this sense is intended to mean that no complex assembly process is required, which includes, for example, the production or interruption of a power connection via chandelier clamps. The attachment is then for example via snap, screw or bayonet, with both the mechanical forces and the electric current to be transmitted. Such compounds are for example in the DE202012002831 U or the EP2509171A described. Maintenance operations, such as the replacement of bulbs, can be done so easily with disassembled lighting fixture. The disadvantage here, however, that the connection is expensive and is specially adapted to the respective lamp or the lighting fixture, so that in a replacement usually a conventional assembly process is required again.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Lösung anzugeben, die es ermöglicht, Beleuchtungskörper mit einfachem Aufbau darzustellen, die sicher und einfach montierbar und demontierbar sind und die gegebenenfalls bei der Montage leicht justierbar sind.Object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a solution that makes it possible to represent lighting fixtures with a simple structure, which are safe and easy to assemble and disassemble and which are optionally easily adjustable during installation.

Erfindungsgemäß werden diese Aufgaben dadurch gelöst, dass das Kupplungsstück aus einem Koppelteil und einem in Axialrichtung relativ zum Koppelteil beweglichen Betätigungsteil besteht.According to the invention, these objects are achieved in that the coupling piece consists of a coupling part and a movable relative to the coupling part in the axial direction actuating part.

Besteht das Kupplungsstück aus einem Koppelteil und einem in Axialrichtung relativ zum Koppelteil beweglichen Betätigungsteil, kann eine besonders einfache Betätigung in der Art einer handelsüblichen Kupplung für Schlauchverbindungen, beispielsweise auch unter Schnellkupplungen bekannt, erreicht werden. Durch das Bewegen des Betätigungsteils können Rastelemente, beispielsweise Eingriffskrallen, Rastkugel, Raststangen, oder andere Rastelemente, die auch verschiebbar im Kupplungsstück gelagert sein können, betätigt werden. Damit kann die lösbare mechanische Verbindung zwischen Kupplungsstück und Befestigungselement entriegelt werden. Mit dem Betätigungsteil kann daher die lösbare Anbringung des Kupplungsstücks auf dem Befestigungselement gelöst werden.If the coupling piece consists of a coupling part and an actuating part movable in the axial direction relative to the coupling part, a particularly simple actuation in the manner of a commercially available coupling for hose connections, for example also known under quick couplings, can be achieved. By moving the actuating part can latching elements, such as engagement claws, Detent ball, locking rods, or other locking elements, which can also be slidably mounted in the coupling piece, are operated. Thus, the releasable mechanical connection between the coupling piece and fastener can be unlocked. With the actuating part, therefore, the releasable attachment of the coupling piece can be solved on the fastener.

Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist, dass der Beleuchtungskörper schnell und problemlos befestigt oder abgenommen werden kann, wobei auf die elektrische Kontaktierung vom Anwender keine Rücksicht genommen werden muss.An important aspect is that the lighting fixture can be quickly and easily attached or removed, taking no account of the electrical contacting by the user.

Durch die besondere Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird eine universelle Anwendbarkeit erreicht, die eine weitgehende Standardisierung ermöglicht. Dadurch kann auch bei einem Wechsel des Beleuchtungskörpers das fest montierte Befestigungselement verbleiben, da es kompatibel zum neuen Beleuchtungskörper ist.Due to the special design of the solution according to the invention a universal applicability is achieved, which allows a high degree of standardization. As a result, the permanently mounted fastening element can remain even when the lighting fixture is changed, since it is compatible with the new lighting fixture.

Wesentlich an der vorliegenden Erfindung ist auch, dass eine vollständige Berührungssicherheit gegenüber den elektrischen Kontakten gegeben ist, sodass der Beleuchtungskörper auch für Netzspannung von 230 V problemlos und ungefährlich ist.It is also essential to the present invention that there is complete contact safety with respect to the electrical contacts, so that the lighting fixture is also problem-free and harmless even for mains voltage of 230 V.

Der erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungskörper ist daher gegenüber dem Stand der Technik nicht nur einfach handhabbar und vergleichsweise konstruktiv einfach aufgebaut, sondern kann auch höchsten Sicherheitsstandards beispielsweise zur Vermeidung von Elektrounfällen genügen.The lighting fixture according to the invention is therefore not only easy to handle and comparatively structurally simple compared to the prior art, but can also meet the highest safety standards, for example to avoid electrical accidents.

Gemäß einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Träger fest mit dem Koppelteil verbunden. Dadurch wird eine besonders stabile Befestigung erreicht.According to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is firmly connected to the coupling part. As a result, a particularly stable attachment is achieved.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Träger fest mit dem Betätigungsteil verbunden. Dadurch kann eine vereinfachte Konstruktion erzielt werden, bei der es insbesondere möglich ist, durch entsprechende Aufbringung einer Kraft auf den Beleuchtungskörper diesen von der Gebäudestruktur zu lösen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is firmly connected to the actuating part. Thereby, a simplified construction can be achieved, in which it is particularly possible to solve by appropriate application of a force on the lighting fixture from the building structure.

Konstruktiv günstig ist es dabei, wenn die ersten Kontakte koaxial zueinander rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet sind. Dadurch ist die elektrische Verbindung unabhängig von der Winkellage des Beleuchtungskörpers. Dies ist von besonderem Vorteil, wenn der zapfenförmige Vorsprung im Wesentlichen rotationssymmetrisch aufgebaut ist.It is structurally favorable when the first contacts are formed coaxially with each other rotationally symmetrical. As a result, the electrical connection is independent of the angular position of the lighting fixture. This is of particular advantage when the peg-shaped projection is constructed substantially rotationally symmetrical.

Eine besonders begünstigte Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Träger für die Aufnahme mehrerer Leuchtmittel ausgebildet ist.A particularly favored embodiment variant of the invention provides that the carrier is designed to accommodate a plurality of lighting means.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Betätigungsteil in Bezug auf den Koppelteil in Axialrichtung beweglich ist. Dadurch wird eine besonders einfache Betätigung in der Art einer handelsüblichen Kupplung für Schlauchverbindungen erreicht. Dabei ist der Koppelteil vorzugsweise durch eine Schnappverbindung bzw. Rastverbindung am Befestigungselement festlegbar und der Koppelteil weist Eingriffskrallen auf, die durch den Betätigungsteil entriegelbar sind. Andere Rastelemente sind weiter denkbar, eine lösbare Verbindung zu ermöglichen.It is particularly advantageous if the actuating part is movable in the axial direction with respect to the coupling part. As a result, a particularly simple operation in the manner of a commercially available coupling for hose connections is achieved. In this case, the coupling part is preferably fixable by a snap connection or latching connection on the fastening element and the coupling part has engagement claws, which can be unlocked by the actuating part. Other locking elements are further conceivable to allow a detachable connection.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Betätigungsteil den Koppelteil in zusammengebautem Zustand völlig abdeckt. Insbesondere bei hängenden Beleuchtungskörpern besteht das ästhetische Problem, die Stelle der Befestigung an der Gebäudestruktur abzudecken, was oft durch Schiebehülsen o. dgl. gelöst wird. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht die elegante Möglichkeit, diese Abdeckung durch das Betätigungselement zu realisieren.It is preferably provided that the actuating part completely covers the coupling part in the assembled state. Especially with hanging lighting fixtures there is the aesthetic problem of covering the point of attachment to the building structure, which is often solved by sliding sleeves o. The like. In the solution according to the invention there is the elegant way to realize this cover by the actuator.

As a result, the present invention will be explained in more detail, for example, with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. They show schematically:

Fig. 2

Fig. 3
a further embodiment of the invention in a representation corresponding Fig. 1 ;
Fig. 4
essential parts of the embodiment of Fig. 1 in assembled condition; and
Fig. 5
the parts of Fig. 4 in separate condition.

Der Beleuchtungskörper von Fig. 1 ist an einer Gebäudestruktur 1, beispielsweise einer Wand oder Decke angebracht. Dazu ist ein Befestigungselement 2 in herkömmlicher Weise, etwa über hier nicht dargestellte Schrauben und Dübel, fest an der Gebäudestruktur 1 befestigt. Ebenso erfolgt die elektrische Kontaktierung wie üblich beispielsweise über Lusterklemmen 11. Senkrecht zur Gebäudestruktur 1 ragt von einem Flansch 12 ein einstückig am Befestigungselement 2 angeformter, zapfenförmiger Vorsprung 2a vor, der standardisiert und rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet ist.The lighting fixture of Fig. 1 is attached to a building structure 1, such as a wall or ceiling. For this purpose, a fastener 2 is fixed in a conventional manner, such as screws and dowels, not shown here, fixed to the building structure 1. Likewise, the electrical contacting as usual, for example, via chandelier clips 11. Perpendicular to the building structure 1 projects from a flange 12 integrally formed on the fastening element 2, peg-shaped projection 2a, which is standardized and rotationally symmetrical.

Auf dem zapfenförmigen Vorsprung 2a ist ein Kupplungsstück 3 lösbar befestigt, das aus einem Koppelteil 3a und einem relativ zum Koppelteil 3a beweglichen Betätigungsteil 3b besteht. Hierzu ist zwischen diesen Koppelteil 3a und Betätigungsteil 3b eine nicht näher dargestellte Längsführung vorgesehen. Im Allgemeinen ist denkbar, dass das Kupplungsstück 3 zur Lösung seiner funktionellen Aufgabe auch weitere konstruktive Bestandteile als ein Koppelteil 3a und ein Betätigungsteil 3b aufweist. Der Koppelteil 3a wird vom Betätigungsteil 3b teilweise oder völlig abgedeckt. Am Koppelteil 3a ist einstückig ein Träger 4 für die Aufnahme von zwei Leuchtmitteln 5 angebracht.On the peg-shaped projection 2a, a coupling piece 3 is releasably secured, which consists of a coupling part 3a and a relative to the coupling part 3a movable actuating part 3b. For this purpose, a longitudinal guide, not shown, is provided between these coupling part 3a and actuating part 3b. In general, it is conceivable that the coupling piece 3 to solve its functional task also has other structural components as a coupling part 3a and an actuating part 3b. The coupling part 3a is partially or completely covered by the actuating part 3b. On the coupling part 3a is integrally mounted a carrier 4 for receiving two light sources 5.

Ein zylindrischer Abschnitt 10 des Koppelteils 3a nimmt dabei in einer Ausnehmung 6 den zapfenförmigen Vorsprung 2a auf und wird durch diesen gehalten. In eine Öffnung 9 des zapfenförmigen Vorsprungs 2a ragt eine Zunge 7 des Koppelteils 3a, um die elektrische Kontaktierung herzustellen. Dazu sind auf einem Einsatz 13 im Inneren des zapfenförmigen Vorsprungs 2a erste elektrische Kontakte 14a, 14b für Phase und Nullleiter angebracht, die mit entsprechenden zweiten Kontakten 15a, 15b auf der Zunge zusammenwirken.A cylindrical portion 10 of the coupling part 3a takes in a recess 6 on the peg-shaped projection 2a and is held by this. In an opening 9 of the pin-shaped projection 2a protrudes a tongue 7 of the coupling part 3a, to produce the electrical contact. These are on an insert 13 in the interior of the pin-shaped projection 2a first electrical contacts 14a, 14b for Phase and neutral mounted, which cooperate with corresponding second contacts 15a, 15b on the tongue.

Das Kupplungsstück 3 wird von dem zapfenförmigen Vorsprung 2a gelöst, indem der Betätigungsteil 3b in der Richtung des Pfeils 8 bewegt wird. Damit kann der Beleuchtungskörper von der Gebäudestruktur 1 getrennt werden. Dies kann beispielsweise in der Fig. 1 daran erkannt werden, dass durch Ziehen des Betätigungsteils 3b in der Richtung des Pfeils 8 die Druckfeder 22 des Koppelteils 3a zusammengedrückt wird, was die Verrastung des Rastelements, das als Raststange 23 des Koppelteils 3a ausgeführt ist, mit der Ausnehmung 6 löst, indem sich die Raststange 23 von der Ausnehmung 6 in das Koppelteil 3a zurückbewegt bzw. zurückverlagert wird. Damit ist eine einfach handhabbare lösbare Verbindung zwischen Kupplungsstück 3 und Befestigungselement 2 geschaffen, die in der Art einer Rast- oder Schnappverbindung ausgeführt ist. Anstatt der Raststange 23 ist auch vorstellbar, dass das Koppelteil 3a als Rastelement Eingriffskrallen aufweist, was nicht näher dargestellt worden ist.The coupling piece 3 is released from the pin-shaped projection 2a by moving the operating part 3b in the direction of the arrow 8. Thus, the lighting fixture can be separated from the building structure 1. This can for example in the Fig. 1 be recognized that by pulling the operating member 3b in the direction of arrow 8, the compression spring 22 of the coupling part 3a is compressed, which the latching of the locking element, which is designed as a locking rod 23 of the coupling part 3a, with the recess 6 solves by the Locking rod 23 is moved back from the recess 6 in the coupling part 3a or shifted back. For an easily manageable releasable connection between the coupling piece 3 and fastener 2 is created, which is designed in the manner of a snap or snap connection. Instead of the locking rod 23 is also conceivable that the coupling part 3a has engagement claws as a locking element, which has not been shown in detail.

Die Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von der der Fig. 1 dadurch, dass Leuchtmittel 5 am beweglichen Betätigungsteil 3b bzw. an dem über Schrauben 16 mit diesem fest verbunden angebracht sind. Über eine beschränkt bewegliche Verdrahtung 17 wird der geringfügig veränderliche Abstand zum Koppelteil 3a überbrückt. Ansonsten ist die Ausführung analog. Diese Ausführungsvariante ist für leichte Lampen geeignet, deren Gewicht deutlich kleiner ist als die Betätigungskraft, die zum Trennen der Bauteile 3a, 3b erforderlich ist.The variant of Fig. 2 is different from that of Fig. 1 in that light-emitting means 5 are attached to the movable actuating part 3b or to the latter via screws 16 fixedly connected thereto. About a limited movable wiring 17 of the slightly variable distance to the coupling part 3a is bridged. Otherwise, the execution is analog. This embodiment is suitable for lightweight lamps whose weight is significantly smaller than the operating force required to separate the components 3a, 3b.

Die Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 3 entspricht funktionell der von Fig. 1, mit dem Unterschied, dass das Befestigungselement 2 und das Kupplungsstück 3 im Innenraum 20 einer Dose 18 angeordnet sind, die versenkt in der Gebäudestruktur 1 angeordnet ist. Die Dose 18 ist durch einen Deckel 19 verschlossen, der fest an dem Betätigungsteil 3b angebracht ist. Der Träger 4 für das Leuchtmittel 5 tritt durch eine Öffnung 21 in der Dose 18.The variant of Fig. 3 corresponds functionally to that of Fig. 1 , with the difference that the fastening element 2 and the coupling piece 3 are arranged in the interior 20 of a can 18, which is arranged sunk in the building structure 1. The can 18 is closed by a lid 19 fixedly attached to the operating part 3b. The carrier 4 for the light source 5 passes through an opening 21 in the box 18th

Die Demontage der Lampe erfolgt bei dieser Ausführungsvariante dadurch, dass mit einem entsprechenden Hilfsmittel der Deckel 19 abgehoben wird, wodurch auch der Betätigungsteil 3b in die Löse-Stellung gebracht wird.The dismantling of the lamp is carried out in this embodiment, characterized in that with a corresponding aid the lid 19 is lifted, whereby the actuating member 3b is brought into the release position.

Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 zeigen die wesentlichen Teile der Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 1 in verbundenem bzw. getrenntem Zustand, um die Funktion zu verdeutlichen. Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the essential parts of the embodiment of Fig. 1 in connected or disconnected state to illustrate the function.
