Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leuchtengehäuse, insbesondere für Einbauleuchten, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a luminaire housing, in particular for recessed luminaires, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Erfindung ist insbesondere für ein- oder mehrlampige Einbaurasterleuchten vorgesehen, bei denen in einem Leuchtengehäuse elektrische Einbauteile, Leuchtmittel und im Bereich einer nach unten gerichteten Lichtaustrittsöffnung ein Leuchtenraster angeordnet sind.The invention is intended in particular for single or multi-lamp built-in grid lights, in which a luminaire grid is arranged in a luminaire housing electrical components, lighting means and in the region of a downwardly directed light exit opening.
Das Leuchtenraster ist in aller Regel absenkbar und einseitig abklappbar angeordnet oder kann aus dem Leuchtengehäuse entfernt werden, wenn beispielsweise ein Leuchtmittelwechsel vorgenommen werden soll.The luminaire grid is usually lowered and arranged hinged on one side or can be removed from the luminaire housing, if, for example, a bulb replacement is to be made.
Es ist bekannt, die Leuchtenraster mechanisch und elektrisch mit dem Leuchtengehäuse zu verbinden, wobei es vorteilhaft ist, eine selbsttätige elektrische Schutzleiterverbindung zwischen dem Leuchtenraster und dem Leuchtengehäuse in eine mechanische Befestigungseinrichtung zu integrieren. Hierzu sind zusätzliche Einbauteile, beispielsweise Führungselemente, erforderlich, welche am Leuchtengehäuse befestigt werden müssen und in welche Befestigungsmittel des Leuchtenrasters eingreifen und geführt werden (
Es ist auch bekannt, das Leuchtengehäuse mit abgestuften oder abgeschrägten Gehäuseseitenwänden auszubilden und im Bereich der Stufen oder Schrägen Ausschnitte als Führungsöffnungen für die an dem Leuchtenraster befestigten Befestigungsmittel vorzusehen (
Das Dokument
Nachteile der bekannten Leuchtengehäuse mit zusätzlichen Einbauteilen oder mit gestuften oder abgeschrägten Gehäuseseitenwänden sind eine relativ aufwendige Fertigung und Handhabung bei der Montage des Leuchtengehäuses bzw. der Leuchte und die damit verbundenen Fertigungs- und Montagekosten.Disadvantages of the known luminaire housing with additional built-in parts or with stepped or bevelled housing side walls are a relatively complex production and handling during assembly of the luminaire housing or the lamp and the associated manufacturing and assembly costs.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Leuchtengehäuse, insbesondere für Einbaurasterleuchten zu schaffen, welches außerordentlich einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann und eine effiziente Montage des Leuchtenrasters und der Leuchte ermöglicht. Außerdem soll eine stabile und insbesondere selbsttätige Schutzleiterverbindung zwischen dem Leuchtengehäuse und Leuchtenraster mit besonders geringem Aufwand herstellbar sein.The invention has for its object to provide a lamp housing, especially for Einbaurasterleuchten, which can be made extremely simple and inexpensive and allows efficient installation of the luminaire grid and the lamp. In addition, a stable and especially automatic protective conductor connection between the luminaire housing and luminaire grid with particularly little effort to produce.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen und in der Figurenbeschreibung enthalten.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous and advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims and in the description of the figures.
Die Erfindung geht von dem Grundgedanken aus, ein außerordentlich einfaches Leuchtengehäuse vorzusehen, welches keine zusätzlichen Einbauteile zum Eingriff und zur Führung der Befestigungsmittel des Leuchtenrasters und auch keine gestuften oder schrägen Gehäuseseitenwände mit im Bereich der Stufen oder Schrägen ausgebildeten Führungsöffnungen für die Befestigungsmittel des Leuchtenrasters erforderlich macht.The invention is based on the basic idea of providing an extremely simple luminaire housing which does not require any additional installation parts for engagement and guidance of the fastening means of the luminaire grid and also no stepped or oblique housing side walls with guide openings formed in the region of the steps or bevels for the fastening means of the luminaire grid ,
Erfindungsgemäß sind die Gehäuseseitenwände prinzipiell vertikal und parallel zueinander ausgerichtet und weisen in den Bereichen, in denen die Befestigungsmittel für das Leuchtenraster verstellbar und lösbar gehalten sind, Befestigungsflächen auf, welche im Wesentlichen horizontal in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Leuchtengehäuses ragend angeordnet und mit den Führungsöffnungen für den Eingriff und die Führung jeweils eines Befestigungselementes für das Leuchtenraster versehen sind.According to the invention, the housing side walls are in principle vertically aligned and parallel to each other and have in the areas in which the fastening means for the luminaire grid are adjustably and detachably held, fastening surfaces which are arranged horizontally projecting substantially horizontally into the housing interior of the luminaire housing and provided with the guide openings for the engagement and guidance of a fastening element for the luminaire grid.
Die wesentlichen Vorteile des erfindugnsgemäßen Leuchtengehäuses bestehen darin, dass die Führungsöffnungen und die Befestigungsflächen in dem Leuchtengehäusezuschnitt, das heißt, in dem planen, unabgekanteten Leuchtengehäuseblech, eingebracht und z.B. in einem Fertigungsschritt ausgestanzt werden können und dass die zweckmäßigerweise dreiseitigen Ausstanzungen für die Befestigungsflächen, welche zunächst nicht umgebogen bzw. abgewinkelt werden, mit den Gehäuseseitenwänden fluchten und dadurch die weitere Fertigung, beispielsweise das Abkanten, die Lagerung und Komplettierung des Leuchtengehäuses bzw. der Leuchte nicht behindern können.The main advantages of the luminaire housing according to the invention are that the guide openings and the mounting surfaces are incorporated in the luminaire housing blank, that is to say in the planar, unobtruded luminaire housing sheet, and, e.g. can be punched out in a manufacturing step and that the expediently three-sided punched for the mounting surfaces, which are initially not bent or angled, aligned with the housing side walls and thus the further manufacturing, such as folding, storage and completion of the lamp housing or the lamp not can hamper.
Das Um- oder Abbiegen der ausgestanzten Befestigungsflächen kann vorteilhaft erst im fertigen, abgekanteten Leuchtengehäuse, beispielsweise während der Montage der Einbauteile und/oder des Leuchtenrasters, erfolgen.The turning or bending of the stamped attachment surfaces can advantageously be done only in the finished, beveled luminaire housing, for example during assembly of the mounting parts and / or the luminaire grid.
Es ist vorteilhaft, dass die Befestigungsflächen mit den Führungsöffnungen für die Rasterbefestigungsmittel vor Ort und außerordentlich rasch, insbesondere mit einem einfachen Handwerkzeug, in eine nahezu horizontale, in den Gehäuseinnenraum ragende Position umgebogen werden können.It is advantageous that the attachment surfaces with the guide openings for the grid fasteners on site and extremely quickly, in particular with a simple hand tool, in a nearly horizontal, projecting into the housing interior position can be bent.
Das manuelle Umbiegen der Befestigungsflächen wird weiter erleichtert, wenn die Biegekante, die auch als Verbindungsseite der Befestigungsfläche an den Gehäusewänden betrachtet werden kann, durch Perforationen vorgegeben ist. Zweckmäßigerweise können die Perforationen, welche punkt- oder schlitzförmig und dergleichen ausgebildet werden können, zusammen mit den Ausstanzungen eingebracht werden.The manual bending of the mounting surfaces is further facilitated if the bending edge, which also considered as the connecting side of the mounting surface on the housing walls can be, is predetermined by perforations. Conveniently, the perforations, which can be formed point or slot-shaped and the like, can be introduced together with the punched-out.
Die vorteilhaften Perforationen ermöglichen außerdem eine Lagebestimmung der Biegekante.The advantageous perforations also allow a determination of the position of the bending edge.
Ein weiterer Vorteil des Leuchtengehäuses mit ausgestanzten und nachträglich umbiegbaren Befestigungsflächen mit Führungsöffnungen für die Rasterbefestigungselemente besteht darin, dass eine selbsttätige und stabile Schutzleiterverbindung im Bereich der Führungsöffnungen und der Befestigungsflächen vorgesehen werden kann.Another advantage of the lamp housing with stamped and subsequently bendable mounting surfaces with guide openings for the grid fasteners is that an automatic and stable protective conductor connection in the region of the guide openings and the mounting surfaces can be provided.
Vorteilhaft ist ein Kontaktelement vorgesehen, welches von der Führungsöffnung her auf einen Bereich der Befestigungsfläche aufgeschoben und in seiner Wirklage zusätzlich gesichert werden kann.Advantageously, a contact element is provided, which can be pushed from the guide opening onto a region of the fastening surface and additionally secured in its operative position.
Wenn in einer bevorzugten Ausbildung die Befestigungsflächen und die darin vorgesehene Führungsöffnungen sowie die Ausbrüche in den Gehäuseseitenwänden, welche nach dem Umbiegen der Befestigungsflächen entstehen, eine rechteckige Kontur mit Längsseiten und wesentlich kürzeren Stirnseiten aufweisen, kann das Kontaktelement vorteilhaft auf einen stirnseitigen Bereich der Befestigungsfläche aufgeschoben werden, um mit einem als Federbügel ausgebildeten Befestigungselement zusammenzuwirken.If in a preferred embodiment, the attachment surfaces and the guide openings provided therein and the breakouts in the housing side walls, which arise after bending the mounting surfaces have a rectangular contour with long sides and much shorter end faces, the contact element can be advantageously pushed onto a frontal region of the mounting surface to cooperate with a fastener designed as a spring clip.
Vorteilhaft ist das Kontaktelement annähernd U-förmig ausgebildet und mit vor- bzw. überstehenden Kontaktecken versehen, welche bei der Montage die Lackierung des Leuchtengehäuses im Bereich der Befestigungsflächen ankratzen und eine ausreichende, dauerhaft gegen Korrosion geschützte elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Leuchtengehäuse und dem metallischen Leuchtenraster herstellen.Advantageously, the contact element is approximately U-shaped and provided with protruding or protruding contact corners, which scratch the painting of the lamp housing in the region of the mounting surfaces during assembly and produce a sufficient, permanently protected against corrosion electrical connection between the luminaire housing and the metallic luminaire grid.
Zu diesem Zweck ist das Kontaktelement aus einem nichtrostenden, federnden Metall bzw. einer Metalllegierung hergestellt, und das Befestigungselement des Leuchtenrasters, beispielsweise ein Federbügel, liegt mit Spreizschenkeln ständig an den Stirnseiten der Führungsöffnungen und damit an dem hier befestigten Kontaktelement an. Das Rasterbefestigungsmittel ist vorteilhafterweise ebenfalls aus einem federnden, nicht rostenden Metall bzw. einer Metalllegierung hergestellt und in der Regel lösbar am Leuchtenraster, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Halteelementes, befestigt.For this purpose, the contact element is made of a stainless, resilient metal or a metal alloy, and the fastening element of the light grid, such as a spring clip, is located with expansion limbs constantly on the end faces of the guide openings and thus on the attached contact element here. The grid fastener is advantageously also made of a resilient, non-rusting metal or a metal alloy and usually releasably attached to the luminaire grid, for example by means of a holding element attached.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist ein Sicherungselement, welches als ein um etwa 90° umgebogener Klemmsteg an einem Basisteil des Kontaktelementes angeformt ist und das aufgeschobene Kontaktelement in einer Klemmhalterung sichert. Diese Sicherung erfolgt auch, wenn die Spreizschenkel des Befestigungselementes nicht federnd in der Führungsöffnung und damit an dem U-förmigen Kontaktschenkel des Kontaktelementes anliegen und somit auch bei abgehängtem Leuchtenraster und aus der Führungsöffnung entnommenen Befestigungselement.
