Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fassung für elektrische Betriebsmittel, insbesondere für Leuchtstofflampen.The invention relates to a socket for electrical Operating equipment, in particular for fluorescent lamps.

Leuchtstofflampen und andere stabförmige Lichtquellen werden gelegentlich in Leuchten eingebaut, in denen beengte Verhältnisse herrschen. Insbesondere wenn in geringem Abstand zu dem Leuchtmittel angeordnete Reflektoren vorhanden sind, ist der Zugang zum Leuchtmittel, wie er erforderlich ist, um dieses z.B. aus den Fassungen herauszunehmen, erschwert. Bei manchen Leuchtenkonstruktionen sind die an dem Leuchtmittel angeordneten Reflektoren so nahe an dem Leuchtmittel angeordnet, dass das Leuchtmittel von Hand weder gedreht noch radial bewegt werden kann. Fluorescent lamps and other rod-shaped light sources are occasionally installed in lights where cramped Conditions prevail. Especially if at a small distance Reflectors arranged for the illuminant are, access to the bulbs is as needed is to make this e.g. to take out of the versions, difficult. In some lighting constructions are on the Illuminants arranged reflectors so close to the Illuminants arranged that the bulbs by hand can not be rotated or moved radially.

Dazu ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Fassung zu schaffen, die das Wechseln des Leuchtmittels auch bei solchen Leuchten gestattet, bei denen der Zugang zum Leuchtmittel eingeschränkt ist.For this purpose, it is an object of the invention to a version create the changing of the bulb even at such Luminaires allowed where access to the bulb is restricted.

Aus der US-A-2282875 ist eine Leuchtstofflampenfassung mit zwei Einführschlitzen für die Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe bekannt. Die Fassung weist ein Fassungsgehäuse auf, in deren Innenraum Rastkontakte gelagert sind. Ein manuell betätigbarer Schieber dient einerseits dazu, die Rastkontakte auseinander zu drängen, um die Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe nach dem Einrasten wieder frei zu geben. Andererseits dient eine an der Lampe anliegende Feder dazu, die Lampe aus der Fassung herauszuheben und zwar zumindest so weit, bis deren Kontaktstifte den Rastbereich der Fassungskontakte verlassen haben.From US-A-2282875 is a fluorescent lamp socket with two insertion slots for the contact pins of the Fluorescent lamp known. The socket has a socket housing on, in the interior of latching contacts are mounted. A manually operated slide serves on the one hand, push the snap contacts apart to the contact pins the fluorescent lamp after snapping free again to give. On the other hand, an applied to the lamp serves Spring to lift the lamp out of the socket and Although at least so far, until the contact pins the rest area have left the socket contacts.

Aus der JP-A-04087174 ist eine Leuchtstofflampenfassung mit einem Fassungsgehäuse bekannt, das zwei Einführschlitze aufweist. Diese ragen in einen Innenraum des Fassungsgehäuses, in dem Anschlusskontakte verborgen sind. An dem Fassungsgehäuse ist ein Winkelhebel gelagert, der einerseits einen Handgriff und andererseits einen Drucksteg aufweist, der die Lampe aus der Fassung herausdrückt, wenn der Winkelhebel geschwenkt wird.From JP-A-04087174 is a fluorescent lamp socket known with a socket housing, the two insertion slots having. These protrude into an interior of the socket housing, are hidden in the connection contacts. At the socket housing an angle lever is mounted, on the one hand a handle and on the other hand a pressure bridge has, which pushes the lamp out of the socket, if the angle lever is pivoted.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Fassung nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a socket according to claim 1 solved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Fassung weist ein Fassungsgehäuse mit wenigstens einem Kontaktelement zur Kontaktierung des Betriebsmittels auf. Die Fassung dient sowohl zur Halterung des Leuchtmittels als auch zur Bereitstellung seiner elektrischen Versorgung. An der Fassung ist eine Löseeinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der das Betriebsmittel aus seiner Arbeitsposition herausgeführt werden kann. Die Löseeinrichtung unterstützt somit das Herausführen des Betriebsmittels aus seiner Fassung. Sie ist mit einer manuellen Betätigungseinrichtung versehen. Diese ist an einer zugänglichen, von dem Leuchtmittel beabstandeten Stelle angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist die Betätigungseinrichtung dabei an der Seite der Fassung angeordnet, von der das Leuchtmittel in die Fassung einzusetzen ist. Die Betätigungseinrichtung wird beispielsweise durch einen profilierten Fortsatz gebildet, der als Handhabe dient. Dieser erstreckt sich vorzugsweise radial bezüglich einer Mittelachse eines stabförmigen Leuchtmittels von der Fassung weg. Dies ermöglicht einen guten Zugang zu der Betätigungseinrichtung und somit einen einfach zu bewerkstelligenden Wechsel des Leuchtmittels.The version according to the invention has a socket housing with at least one contact element for contacting the On. The socket serves both for mounting the bulb as well as to provide its electrical Care. On the socket is a release device provided with the equipment from its working position can be led out. The release device thus supports the removal of the equipment from his version. It is equipped with a manual actuator Mistake. This is at an accessible, arranged spaced from the light source. Preferably the actuator is at the side the version arranged by the light source in the Version is to use. The actuator is formed for example by a profiled extension, which serves as a handle. This preferably extends radially with respect to a central axis of a rod-shaped Bulb away from the socket. This allows one good access to the actuator and thus a easy to accomplish change of the bulb.

Das Fassungsgehäuse ist vorzugsweise mit zwei Einführschlitzen für zwei Kontaktstifte des Betriebsmittels versehen, wobei das Leuchtmittel durch eine lineare, radiale Schiebebewegung in die Einführschlitze eingesetzt und in diesen verrastet wird. Vorzugsweise in dem Endbereich der Einführschlitze sind die Kontaktbereiche der Kontaktelemente angeordnet. Die Kontakte können zugleich als Rastmittel ausgebildet sein, um das Leuchtmittel in der Fassung zu halten. Alternativ können anderweitige Rastmittel, beispielsweise an dem Fassungsgehäuse ausgebildet sein.The socket housing is preferably with two insertion slots provided for two contact pins of the equipment, wherein the lighting means by a linear, radial Sliding movement inserted into the insertion slots and in this is locked. Preferably in the end region of Insertion slots are the contact areas of the contact elements arranged. The contacts can also act as locking means be formed to the bulbs in the socket too hold. Alternatively, other locking means, for example be formed on the socket housing.

Die Länge der Einführschlitze ist vorzugsweise größer als die Summe aus dem Abstand der Kontaktstifte voneinander und der Länge des Endbereichs der Einführschlitze in dem sich die Kontaktelemente beziehungsweise deren Kontaktbereiche befinden. Damit wird eine elektrische Berührsicherheit beim Wechseln des Leuchtmittels erreicht.The length of the insertion slots is preferably larger as the sum of the distance of the pins from each other and the length of the end portion of the insertion slots in the the contact elements or their contact areas are located. This is an electrical contact safety achieved when changing the bulb.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Fassung einen Gehäuseteil auf, der zwischen einer Arbeitsposition und einer Löseposition beweglich gelagert ist. Der Gehäuseteil bildet somit ein Löseelement, mit dem das Leuchtmittel aus seiner Arbeitsposition in seine Löseposition überführt, d.h. letztendlich aus der Fassung herausgehoben werden kann. Der bewegliche Gehäuseteil ist vorzugsweise der vordere, dem Leuchtmittel zugewandte Gehäuseteil, der an einem Rückenteil gelagert ist. Das Rückenteil trägt vorzugsweise die Kontaktelemente und ist ortsfest an einem Lampenträger zu befestigen.In a preferred embodiment, the socket a housing part, which between a working position and a release position is movably mounted. Of the Housing part thus forms a release element with which the Lamp from his working position in its release position transferred, i. finally lifted out of the socket can be. The movable housing part is preferably the front, the lamp facing housing part, which is mounted on a back part. The back part preferably carries the contact elements and is stationary to fix a bulb holder.

An dem beweglichen Gehäuseteil ist zur manuellen Verschiebung desselben vorzugsweise ein Griffstück vorgesehen, das die Betätigungseinrichtung bildet. Bevorzugterweise ist das Griffstück zwischen beiden Einführschlitzen angeordnet und es erstreckt sich in die gleiche Richtung wie diese. Es ist hier gut zugänglich. Außerdem führt die Anordnung zwischen beiden Einführschlitzen zu einer symmetrischen Belastung beim Überführen aus der Arbeitsposition in die Löseposition, so dass sich die beiden Gehäuseteile nicht gegeneinander verklemmen oder verkanten.On the movable housing part is for manual movement the same preferably provided a handle, which forms the actuating device. Preferably arranged the handle between two insertion slots and it goes in the same direction as this one. It is easily accessible here. In addition, the arrangement leads between Both insertion slots to a symmetrical load when transferring from the working position to the release position, so that the two housing parts are not against each other jam or jam.

Dem vorderen verschiebbaren Gehäuseteil kann ein Rastmittel zugeordnet sein, das den Gehäuseteil in seiner Arbeitsposition verrastet. Es genügt eine relativ schwache Rastwirkung.The front movable housing part can be a locking means be associated with the housing part in its working position locked. It is enough a relatively weak Detent action.

Die Teile des Innenraums 25, die die Kontaktelemente 23, 24 aufzunehmen haben, liegen deshalb nach vorn hin offen und frei. In der Mittelwand 26 ist in diesem Bereich eine Rastvertiefung 27 ausgebildet. Außerdem enthält die Mittelwand 26 beidseitig eine Tasche 28, 28' zur Befestigung der Kontaktelemente 23, 24.The contact elements 23, 24 are in one of the back part 11 enclosed interior 25 accommodated, the is divided by a middle wall 26, the center and arranged parallel to the side walls 16, 17 between them is. The middle wall 26 projects beyond the side walls 16, 17 with respect to a parallel to the back portion 12 selected Direction R. In addition, it dominates the front wall 18th in the same direction considerably. The parts of the interior 25, which have to receive the contact elements 23, 24, are therefore open to the front and free. In the middle wall 26, a latching recess 27 is formed in this area. In addition, the middle wall 26 includes a double-sided Bag 28, 28 'for fastening the contact elements 23, 24th

Die Kontaktelemente 23, 24 sind untereinander gleich und symmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet. Sie weisen jeweils einen oberen Kontaktbereich 31, 32 auf, der einen federnd gelagerten Schenkel bildet. Der Kontaktbereich 31, 32 weist eine Rastmulde 33, 34 auf, die zur rastenden Lagerung eines Anschlussstifts einer Leuchtstofflampe oder eines anderweitigen Betriebsmittels dient. An den Kontaktbereich 31, 32 schließt sich ein Halteabschnitt 35, 36 an, der Federklemmzungen zum Kontaktieren von elektrischen Leitern und Federzungen zum Verrasten in den Taschen 21, 22, 28, 28' aufweist.The contact elements 23, 24 are equal to each other and formed symmetrically to each other. They each point an upper contact region 31, 32, which is a springy stored leg forms. The contact area 31, 32 has a detent recess 33, 34, which is used for latching storage of a Connecting pin of a fluorescent lamp or otherwise Operating equipment is used. To the contact area 31, 32 joins a holding section 35, 36, the spring-loaded tongues for contacting electrical conductors and spring tongues for latching in the pockets 21, 22, 28, 28 '.

Das Gehäuseteil 9 ist ein vierseitig geschlossenes Teilgehäuse mit einer Vorderwand 37, zwei zueinander parallelen und sich rechtwinklig von der Vorderwand 37 weg nach hinten erstreckenden Seitenwänden 38, 39, die an einander gegenüber liegenden Kanten der Vorderwand 37 angeformt sind und mit einer oberen Abschlusswand 41. Die Abschlusswand 41 und die Vorderwand 37 sind von zwei zueinander parallelen Einführschlitzen 42, 43 durchsetzt. Der Abstand zwischen diesen ist nur geringfügig größer als die Breite der Mittelwand 26. An dem verbleibenden Steg 44 ist ein Rastvorsprung 45 angeformt, der der Rastvertiefung 27 zugeordnet ist. Die Einführschlitze 42, 43 enden etwa in der Mitte der Vorderwand 37, wobei die hier vorhandenen Endbereiche 46, 47 die Bereiche sind, hinter denen sich die Kontaktbereiche 31, 32 der Kontaktelemente 23, 24 befinden. Die Länge der Einführschlitze 42, 43 ist größer als der jeweilige Endbereich plus dem äußeren Stiftabstand der anzuschließenden Leuchtstofflampe. Um dies zu erreichen, sind die an der oberen Abschlusswand 41 befindlichen Mündungen der Einführschlitze 42, 43 durch angeformte Isolierfortsätze 48, 49 verlängert. Die Verlängerung der Einführschlitze 42, 43 bietet einen Berührungsschutz beim Einsetzen der Leuchtstofflampe in die Fassung.The housing part 9 is a four-sided closed Part housing with a front wall 37, two parallel to each other and perpendicular to the front wall 37 away rearwardly extending side walls 38, 39 adjacent to each other formed opposite edges of the front wall 37 are and with an upper end wall 41. The end wall 41 and the front wall 37 are two of each other parallel insertion slots 42, 43 interspersed. Of the Distance between these is only slightly larger than that Width of the center wall 26. At the remaining web 44 is a latching projection 45 is formed, the latching recess 27th assigned. The insertion slots 42, 43 end approximately in the middle of the front wall 37, the existing here End areas 46, 47 are the areas behind which the Contact areas 31, 32 of the contact elements 23, 24 are located. The length of the insertion slots 42, 43 is greater than that respective end area plus the outer pin spacing of the connected Fluorescent lamp. To achieve this, are the mouths located on the upper end wall 41 the insertion slots 42, 43 by molded Isolierfortsätze 48, 49 extended. The extension of the insertion slots 42, 43 provides a protection against contact when inserting Fluorescent lamp in the socket.

Zwischen diesen erstreckt sich in Verlängerung des Stegs 44 ein flaches profiliertes Griffstück 51 in Schlitzlängsrichtung von dem Vorderteil 9 weg. Das Griffstück 51 dient als Handhabe um das Vorderteil 9 auf dem Rückenteil 11 verschieben zu können.Between these extends in extension of the Bar 44 a flat profiled handle 51 in the slot longitudinal direction away from the front part 9. The handle 51 serves as a handle to the front part 9 on the back 11 to move.

Die Lagerung des Gehäuseteils 9 an dem Rückenteil 11 ist aus Figur 8 ersichtlich. An den Innenseiten der Seitenwände 38, 39 sind Führungsrippen 52, 53 angeformt, die in die Rastmulden 33, 34 greifen und dadurch das Vorderteil 9 begrenzt verschiebbar an dem Rückenteil 11 lagern. Der Verschiebeweg ist dabei so groß, dass das untere jeweilige Ende 54, 55 (Figur 3), das in einer Endstellung des Gehäuseteils 9 die Rastmulde 33, 34 jedes Kontaktelements 23, 24 freigibt (Figur 3), völlig aus dem Kontaktbereich 31, 32 jedes in dem Rückenteil 11 ruhenden Kontaktelements 23, 24 heraus bewegt werden kann. Der Verschiebeweg des Gehäuseteils 9 ist somit größer als der Abstand der Rastmulde 33, 34 von der zum freien Ende hin benachbarten Rasterhebung.The storage of the housing part 9 on the back part 11 is apparent from Figure 8. On the insides of the side walls 38, 39 are guide ribs 52, 53 formed in the detent recesses 33, 34 engage and thereby the front part 9 store limited displaceable on the back part 11. The displacement path is so big that the lower respective End 54, 55 (Figure 3), in an end position of the housing part 9 the detent recess 33, 34 of each contact element 23, 24th releases (Figure 3), completely out of the contact area 31, 32nd each resting in the back part 11 contact element 23, 24th can be moved out. The displacement of the housing part 9 is thus greater than the distance of the detent recess 33, 34 from the grid end adjacent to the free end.

Die insoweit beschriebene Fassung 6 bzw. 7 arbeitet wie folgt:The version 6 or 7 described so far works as follows:

Es wird angenommen, dass sich die Fassungen 6, 7 in der in Figur 3 veranschaulichten Position befinden und dass noch keine Leuchtstofflampe in die Fassung 6, 7 eingesetzt ist. Diese wird nun mit ihren beiden Kontaktstiften 2a, 2b (Figur 8) in die Einführschlitze 42, 43 eingesetzt und durch leichten Druck verrastet. Die Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b schnappen dabei in die Rastmulden 33, 34 der Kontaktelemente 23, 24. It is assumed that the sockets 6, 7 in are the position illustrated in Figure 3 and that no fluorescent lamp in the socket 6, 7 used is. This is now with their two pins 2a, 2b (Figure 8) inserted into the insertion slots 42, 43 and locked by slight pressure. The contact pins 2a, 2b snap it into the locking recesses 33, 34 of the contact elements 23, 24.

Das Einsetzen der Leuchtstofflampe 2 in die Fassungen 6, 7 unterscheidet sich vom Ablauf her nicht wesentlich, wenn sich die Fassungen 6, 7 zunächst in der in Figur 4 veranschaulichten Position befinden. Nach dem Einsetzen der Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b der Leuchtstofflampe in die Einführschlitze 42, 43 drücken diese gegen die Endflächen 54, 55 und verschieben den Gehäuseteil 9 der Fassung 6 bzw. 7, bis sie in die Rastmulden 33, 34 einrasten.The insertion of the fluorescent lamp 2 in the versions 6, 7 does not differ significantly from the sequence, when the sockets 6, 7 first in the in Figure 4 position shown. After inserting the Contact pins 2a, 2b of the fluorescent lamp in the insertion slots 42, 43 push them against the end surfaces 54, 55th and move the housing part 9 of the socket 6 or 7, to they engage in the detent recesses 33, 34.

In beiden Fällen ist die Leuchtstofflampe 2 nun sicher kontaktiert und gehalten. Die Leuchte 1 ist betriebsbereit.In both cases, the fluorescent lamp 2 is now safe contacted and held. The lamp 1 is ready for use.

Soll die Leuchtstofflampe 2 nun zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt aus der Leuchte 1 entnommen werden, ist direkter Zugang zu der Leuchtstofflampe 2 nicht möglich. Der Reflektor 3 verhindert den manuellen Zugang zu der Leuchtstofflampe 2. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 6 veranschaulicht. Der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Reflektor 3 und der Leuchtstofflampe 2 ist zu eng, als dass die Leuchtstofflampe 2 von Hand aus den Fassungen 6, 7 herausgezogen werden könnte. Der Bediener kann die Leuchtstofflampe 2 jedoch aus der Fassung 6 herausführen, indem er das Griffstück 51 ergreift und in Griffstücklängsrichtung daran zieht. Die Fassung 6 wird dadurch in die in Figur 7 veranschaulichte Stellung überführt. Damit werden zugleich die Anschlussstifte der Leuchtstofflampe 2 aus den Rastmulden 33, 34 heraus geführt. Die Endflächen 54, 55 der Einführschlitze 42, 43 schieben die Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b über die an die Rastmulden 33, 34 grenzenden Erhebungen der Kontaktbereiche 31, 32. Die Leuchtstofflampe 2 ist dadurch von den Fassungen 6, 7 gelöst. Außerdem ist die Leuchtstofflampe 2 etwas aus dem Reflektor 3 heraus bewegt, wie Figur 7 veranschaulicht. Sie kann nun leicht entnommen werden. If the fluorescent lamp 2 now to a later Time taken from the light 1 is more direct Access to the fluorescent lamp 2 not possible. The reflector 3 prevents manual access to the fluorescent lamp 2. This condition is illustrated in FIG. Of the Interspace between the reflector 3 and the fluorescent lamp 2 is too narrow, as the fluorescent lamp 2 of Hand could be pulled out of the sockets 6, 7. However, the operator can the fluorescent lamp 2 from the Run socket 6 by grasping the handle 51 and pull it in handle longitudinally thereto. The version 6 is thereby in the position illustrated in Figure 7 transferred. At the same time, the pins of the Fluorescent lamp 2 out of the locking recesses 33, 34 led out. The end surfaces 54, 55 of the insertion slots 42, 43 push the contact pins 2a, 2b over the on the locking recesses 33, 34 adjacent elevations of the contact areas 31, 32. The fluorescent lamp 2 is characterized by the versions 6, 7 solved. In addition, the fluorescent lamp 2 is something of the Reflector 3 moves out, as Figure 7 illustrates. she can now be easily removed.

Eine Fassung 6, die sich insbesondere für Leuchten eignet, die keinen direkten manuellen Zugang zu dem gesockelten Leuchtmittel gestatten, weist einen Schieber auf, mit dem der Lampensockel bzw. dessen Kontaktstifte 2a, 2b aus der Fassung herausgeschoben werden oder zumindest von der Fassung gelöst werden können. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Fassungsgehäuse 8 zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei der Gehäuseteil 9 als Schieber ausgebildet ist.A version 6, especially for lights which does not provide direct manual access to the socket Illuminants allow, has a slider, with the lamp base or its contact pins 2a, 2b be pushed out of the socket or at least of the version can be solved. In a preferred Embodiment, the socket housing 8 is formed in two parts, wherein the housing part 9 is formed as a slide is.
