Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for connection to multi-phase, U-shaped, commercially available busbars, with a locking device and resilient contact tongues, at least partially immersed in the respective busbar housing and an electronic transformer arranged within the housing, the output of which as a low-voltage connection is designed in particular for spotlights.
  • Such an adapter is known for example from DE-GM 88 00 307.
  • a second housing part accommodating the transformer is attached to an existing housing with a locking device, contacts and electrical connection means.
  • the two housings are detachably connected to one another both electrically and mechanically. Thanks to the additional housing for the transformer, this adapter is very large and looks "bulky”.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an adapter of the type mentioned for the direct operation of low-voltage emitters on multi-phase tracks so that it is as inconspicuous as possible in the operating state, contains various options and control options and is also inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the adapter according to the invention is advantageous in that it deeply immerses its housing in commercially available busbars with three phase conductors.
  • the associated narrow housing section takes up almost the entire electronic circuit of the transformer, so that the available space between the legs of the busbar is optimally used.
  • Only the massive output transformer, which is however minimized in its dimensions, is arranged outside the power rail in the housing section which is kept low.
  • the entire, visually pleasing adapter housing is not wider than the conductor rail itself and is formally close to a pantograph for normal voltage.
  • the very small housing is achieved in particular by a T-shaped arrangement of two interconnected circuit boards for the electronic transformer, the output transformer being arranged "hanging" on the side of the one circuit board facing away from the busbar.
  • the protruding housing section from the busbar is stepped on the two long sides, so that controls for a light intensity controller and for phase selection can be arranged inconspicuously.
  • the adapter has an elongated housing (1) which is essentially formed from two half shells (1a, 1b) which accommodate a large number of components.
  • the two half-shells with a joint (1c) oriented in the longitudinal direction of a busbar, not shown, are mutually connected after the installation of the built-in parts and together form a closed, slim-shaped housing with a web-like, narrow housing section (1 ') and a wider housing section which is rounded at the longitudinal ends (1'').
  • the height and width of the narrower housing section (1 ') is matched to the space between the legs of the U-shaped, commercially available busbar and almost fills it.
  • adjustable contact tongues (2) and locking means (3) are arranged, which cooperate with the busbar in a known manner and thereby establish the mechanical and electrical connection between the busbar and the adapter.
  • the approximately the same size portion of the narrower housing section (1 ') next to the contact tongues and locking means receives a circuit board (4a) as an assembly of an electronic transformer (4), which preferably transforms the mains voltage of the busbar down to 12 volts.
  • the circuit board (4a) with almost all electronic components (4b) of the transformer plunges deeply into the web-shaped housing section (1 ') and fills it in the longitudinal direction of the rail and is in turn connected on its narrow side to a second circuit board (4c), so that there is an inverted T-shaped arrangement of the two circuit boards (4a, 4c) in the side view (FIG. 3).
  • the circuit board (4c) which is arranged in a horizontal plane, accommodates a massive output transformer (4d) on its underside, which is kept very small in size and is optimally matched to the adapter. Its overall height specifies the height of the wider housing section (1 ''), so that due to its very low overall height and its "hanging" arrangement, the housing protrudes only slightly from the busbar in the operating state.
  • the width of the output transformer (4d) is also minimized and matched to the busbar, so that the approximately 35 mm wide housing in section (1 '') corresponds to the width of the busbar.
  • the adapter which has a total length of a maximum of 190 mm, is formed in a stepwise shortening at the two ends in the wider housing section (1 ''), so that when the adapter is installed, only a flat zone with a height of approximately 9 mm is visible from the overall length.
  • the predominant, visible construction volume is reduced in length to about 130 mm and additionally rounded at the ends (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
  • Actuating devices for an integrated light intensity regulator (5) and for a phase selector (6) interacting with the contact tongues (6) are arranged on the stepped underside of the adapter, which are thus easily accessible for an operator.
