Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contacting element for connecting an electrical or electronic module to an elongated light support rail, an electrical or electronic module with such a contacting element and a lighting system with such an electrical or electronic module.
  • the electrical or electronic module for example, a lighting function, a sensor function, a camera function or the like and any combination thereof can be provided.
  • the lamp support rail has an elongated support rail profile which, with two opposing elongated side walls, delimits a receiving space accessible via a receiving opening, in which at least one busbar is provided with lines which can be electrically contacted from the receiving space and run in the longitudinal direction of the support rail profile.
  • Luminaire support rails with an elongated support rail profile and a busbar arranged in the support rail profile are known from the prior art and are used, for example, to implement elongated continuous-row lighting systems.
  • a well-known light strip system is sold by the applicant under the name "TECTON" and is characterized by the fact that electrical or electronic modules such as (bar) lights or other electrical consumers (e.g. sensors, cameras, etc.) are flexible can be positioned on the luminaire support rail over the entire length of the system.
  • two busbars are usually arranged opposite each other on the two side walls of a U-shaped mounting rail profile that is open at the bottom.
  • the conductors of the busbars are then contacted by the electrical or electronic module having a rotatable contacting element - a so-called "rotary toggle" - which is inserted into the mounting rail from the underside and then rotated by approximately 45°.
  • Electrical contact elements arranged on the contacting element are designed in such a way that they are connected through the Twisting can be swung out to the side and ultimately contact the conductors of the busbars in the twisted state.
  • a carrier element is also coupled to the contacting element, to which the lighting means are attached.
  • U1 discloses a contacting element that has a connection part with a main body and an electrical contact element.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the task of providing a new possibility for realizing a corresponding contacting element, which enables simple assembly and operability.
  • the present invention relates to a contacting element for connecting an electrical or electronic module to an elongated luminaire support rail.
  • This lamp support rail has an elongated support rail profile which, with two opposing elongated side walls, delimits a receiving space accessible via a receiving opening, in which at least one busbar with lines which can be electrically contacted from the receiving space and run in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail profile is arranged or provided.
  • the contacting element has a fastening part and a connecting part.
  • the fastening part has, on the one hand, a connecting section for mechanically coupling the contacting element to the electrical or electronic module, and, on the other hand, a coupling section extending away from the connecting section along an extension direction.
  • the connecting part has a main body, which is rotatably connected to the coupling section via a connecting structure about an axis of rotation extending along the direction of extension in order to form the connecting part to move between a mounting position and a coupling position.
  • the connection part also has a manipulation section.
  • the connection structure is designed in such a way that it transfers a translational actuation force applied to an actuation section of the manipulation section (preferably axially; therefore also preferably against an insertion direction of the connection part into the receiving space of a mounting rail profile) into the relative rotation between the connection part and the fastening part, in order to form the connection part to move from the assembly position to the coupling position. This means that a simple and linearly applied actuating force is transferred into the said rotational movement.
  • the connecting part further has at least one electrical contact element, which projects laterally or radially outwards with respect to the axis of rotation (e.g. from the main body or another section of the connecting part) in such a way that it moves together with the fastening part when the connecting part rotates relative to one another the main body moves around the axis of rotation.
  • the contacting element according to the invention has the described manipulation section and the connection structure, a simply applied, translational actuation force can be converted into a corresponding rotary movement, so that, for example, when the contacting element is simply inserted into an elongated lamp support rail, an actuation force is exerted translationally on the manipulation section Electrical contact elements are moved accordingly into the axis of rotation and are thus electrically contacted with the lines of the busbar in the mounting rail profile.
  • the translational actuation force can be applied, for example, by simply pressing the contacting element in the direction of insertion into the lamp support rail against a corresponding contact section of the support rail profile.
  • the manipulation section can preferably extend at least partially around the connecting part or its main body, preferably at least by the same angular range that the fastening part and the connecting part rotate relative to one another between the mounting position and the coupling position.
  • This angular range is preferably, for example, between 30 and 90°, more preferably between 40 and 60°, even more preferably between 45 and 50°, particularly preferably 47°. Because the manipulation section extends at least partially around the main body, secure contact with the manipulation section can be made possible in a simple manner during the entire relative rotational movement from the assembly position to the coupling position - for example via the mounting rail profile.
  • the manipulation section preferably projects radially outwards from the main body.
  • the manipulation section can thus be provided in an easily accessible manner, so that the actuation can be generated via it in a simple manner.
  • the manipulation section is preferably provided on at least two opposite sides of the connecting part or its main body with respect to the axis of rotation or also extends closed on the circumference around the connecting part or its main body. This makes it possible for the manipulation section to rest, for example, on or in areas of the opposite elongated side walls of a mounting rail profile. This ensures an evenly applied actuating force on the manipulation section to enable easy movement from the mounting position to the coupling position.
  • the actuating section can be provided on a side of the manipulation section facing away from the connecting section when viewed in the axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation.
  • the actuation section can thus be exposed for easy application of an actuation force, particularly in the insertion direction.
  • the actuating section is provided facing the support rail profile and can therefore be brought into contact with the latter in a simple manner in order to apply the actuating force to the manipulation section or its actuation section.
  • the connecting structure can be designed in such a way that when the connecting part is rotated relative to the fastening part, it causes the connecting part to approach the connecting section axially during the movement from the mounting position to the coupling position.
  • This approach can be used in different ways.
  • because of this Axial relative movement of the components of the contacting element for example, facilitates the transfer into a rotary movement.
  • a defined, simple and secure locking can be made possible.
  • clamping between the components of the contacting element can also be used to mechanically couple the same.
  • the connecting structure can have a guide structure which has a guide groove and a guide projection guided thereon, which are distributed over the connecting part on the one hand and the fastening part on the other hand, in order to guide the connecting part between the mounting position and the coupling position during its relative rotation to the fastening part. It is arbitrary on which of the two components of the contacting element the guide groove and on which the guide projection is provided.
  • the number of corresponding leadership structures is also not limited by the invention.
  • a management structure can be provided. However, it is also conceivable that several and these are arranged, for example, evenly distributed over the circumference of the coupling section or the main body.
  • the guide groove can preferably run obliquely around the axis of rotation; for example spirally.
  • the actuating force to be applied can be set as desired.
  • the guide projection can extend into the guide groove in the radial direction. This enables a particularly simple structure on the one hand and secure guidance on the other.
  • the guide projection can have a round cross-section when viewed in the radial direction.
  • the connecting structure can have a latching structure for releasably fixing the fastening part and the connecting part in the assembly position and/or in the coupling position.
  • a latching structure for releasably fixing the fastening part and the connecting part in the assembly position and/or in the coupling position.
  • the latching structure can have corresponding latching projections, which are distributed over the connecting part on the one hand and the fastening part on the other. Particularly simple means for secure locking can thus be provided.

  • the latching structure can be provided in a space-saving manner, for example in the radial direction.
  • the latching structure can take on a guiding function in the relative movement between the fastening part and the connecting part.
  • the locking projections can, for example, have a V-shaped or wedge-shaped cross section in order to provide a kind of guide bevel that is set in the direction of movement in order to enable simple and releasable but at the same time secure locking.
  • the latching groove can further be delimited by a stop section, which can cooperate with the further latching structure in order to avoid a simple loosening of the fastening part and connecting part during the rotational movement from the coupling position to the mounting position.
  • this stop section can have an insertion section for assembling the fastening part and connecting part, which is formed, for example, in a ramp-shaped manner inclined in the insertion direction, in order to enable the further locking structure to be easily snapped into the locking groove.
  • the locking groove and the guide groove can be provided independently of one another and, for example, extend parallel to one another. In this case, the further latching structure and the guide projection are then also provided separately from one another. However, it is also conceivable that the locking groove is formed by the guide groove, and accordingly further locking structure is formed by the guide projection. In this way, the number of structural elements can be reduced and the complexity of the structure as a whole can be simplified. If the structural sections mentioned are provided separately from one another, they can be designed and provided in an optimized manner tailored to their function, which in turn can be advantageous for their functionality.
  • the connecting part can further have a clamping section, which has a clamping space for receiving a clamping area of a supporting element, such as the mounting rail profile, to which the electrical or electronic module equipped with the contacting element is to be connected, in the coupling position for axial mechanical coupling of the contacting element.
