Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of electric lighting and in particular to a lamp, a connector and a method for mounting a lamp according to the preamble of the corresponding independent claims.
  • the luminaire thus has a base unit with a base housing, as well as a luminous means unit with a luminous means carrier and a luminous means, wherein the Illuminant unit can be mounted on the base unit and in a mounted state of the luminaire, the base unit carries the illuminant unit.
  • the base unit has a first contacting unit and the lighting unit has a second contacting unit.
  • the first contacting unit and the second contacting unit form two or more electrical connections between the base unit and the lighting unit.
  • the first contacting unit is fixedly mounted on the base unit and the second contacting unit is fixedly mounted on the lighting unit.
  • the base unit can be mounted on the ceiling, and then readily be mounted without the usual intermediate step for establishing an electrical connection between the base unit and lamp unit, for example by means of luster terminals, cables with plugs, or to terminals of a ballast without the usual intermediate step.
  • base housing is not necessarily a complete housing with closed walls to understand it may be, for example, after one or more pages open housing part, or even a plate, such as a metal plate, which can be attached to a wall or ceiling , or which forms part of a floor lamp.
  • the fixed connection of the two contacting units to the base unit or lighting unit is in contrast to known connectors in which plugs or sockets are flexibly mounted on a unit to compensate for inaccuracies, or in which a plug attached to the electrical conductors but otherwise is free to move.
  • the electrical connections between the contacting remain.
  • the two contacting units are displaceable relative to one another by at least two or at least four millimeters in the respective direction, without interrupting the electrical contacts.
  • the tolerances in the relative position of the two contacting units make it possible to compensate for position inaccuracies between the base unit and the lighting unit and / or inaccuracies in the attachment of the two contacting units to the respective unit, while ensuring a secure electrical contact.
  • a tolerance with respect to rotation ie with respect to rotation of the contacting units relative to one another, is present around an axis of rotation which is normal to the first and normal to the second direction. For example, a rotation of at least +/- 10 degrees or at least +/- 20 degrees or more is allowed without interrupting the electrical contacts.
  • the two contacting units are additionally displaceable by at least 0.5 millimeters in a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first and perpendicular to the second direction. This tolerance can be achieved by elasticity of the electrical contacts and by space between interlocking elements of the contacting units.
  • these two tolerances are possible, for example, in that spring contacts and, to a limited extent, also contact lugs of the contacting units are elastic, and secondly because the shape of interlocking elements of the contacting units leaves room for the mutual movement.
  • the tolerance for rotations about an axis parallel to the first direction is at least +/- 5 degrees or at least +/- 8 degrees or at least +/- 10 degrees and the tolerance for rotations about an axis parallel to the second direction is at least + /. - 5 degrees or at least +/- 10 degrees.
  • either the first contacting unit mounted on the base unit has a first guiding element
  • the illuminating unit has a second guiding element which is not part of the second contacting unit mounted on the illuminating unit, or it points the second contacting unit mounted on the illuminating unit has a second guiding element
  • the base unit has a first guiding element, which is not part of the first contacting unit mounted on the base unit.
  • the two guide elements engage each other and thereby define the relative position of the base unit and the lighting unit to each other in at least the second direction. It is thus possible to compensate for inaccuracies in the assembly of the (in the first case) on the lighting unit respectively (in the second case) of the base unit mounted contacting unit, so that the Position (in the first case) of the lighting unit respectively (in the second case) of the base unit with respect to the other contacting unit, which has the first guide element is precisely defined by the interaction of the two guide elements.
  • the lamp has fastening elements for fastening the lamp unit to the base unit, wherein the fastening elements in the first direction allow a relative displacement between the base unit and the lamp unit of at least five millimeters.
  • the fasteners are for example brackets, tabs, screws, etc.
  • the holding force refers to the connector as a whole, so it is the force that must be used to pull apart the connector respectively to separate.
  • the two contacting units in a mated and contacted state, do not engage one another. So they do not form a latching or snapping connection. As a result, the mutual displacement remains within the tolerances - depending on the direction of displacement - even after mating.
  • An electrical plug connection preferably for a luminaire, thus has a first contacting unit and a second contacting unit, wherein in a mated and contacted state, the two contacting units in a first direction, in which the contacting units are plugged together, by at least two millimeters, and in one second direction, which is normal to the first direction, are displaceable by at least five millimeters relative to each other, wherein electrical connections between the two contacting units remain.
  • FIG. 1 1 schematically shows a luminaire 1 in a not completely assembled state, with a base unit 2 and a luminous means unit 3.
  • the luminous means unit 3 has a luminous means carrier 31, which carries a luminous means 32.
  • the illuminant carrier 31 and the luminous means 32 can be designed as an integrated unit, or in such a way that the illuminant 32 can be exchanged while maintaining the illuminant carrier 31.
  • the base unit 2 may have an operating device, such as a ballast 22, which is designed to power the illuminant 32.
  • a first contacting unit 23 is arranged on the base unit 2 and a second contacting unit 33 is arranged on the lighting unit 3, typically as a plug and socket, or vice versa.
  • the two contacting units 23, 33 are in each case fixedly connected to the base unit 2 or lighting unit 3, for example by means of screws, rivets, clamps, Snap connection, etc. This has the consequence that in the mechanical assembly of the lighting unit 3 to the base unit 2, the electrical contact between these units is readily made.
  • the connector formed from the two contacting units 23, 33 is provided for low voltages, ie for voltages up to 1000 volts AC, in particular for 230 volts or 400 volts AC.
  • the ballast 22 may also be arranged on the lamp unit 3, in which case the plug connection is arranged in the feed before the ballast 22 and may need to be designed for a different voltage.
  • FIG. 2 shows the lamp 1 in an assembled state in which the lighting unit 3 is mounted by means of schematically illustrated fastening elements 25 to the base unit 2 and the two contacting units 23, 33 establish the electrical connection.
  • the fastening elements 25 can also be present in places other than drawn in and are typically detachable connections, for example by means of screws, clamps, snap connections, etc.
  • the illuminating unit 3 is guided with a translatory movement against the base unit 2 and thus also the first contacting unit 23 against the second contacting unit 33.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of a lamp.
  • the illuminating unit 3 is guided for assembly with a rotary movement or rotational movement against the base unit 2 and thus also the first contacting unit 23 against the second contacting unit 33.
  • a hinge 39 between the base unit 2 and the illuminating unit 3 are present.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section with guide elements 24, 34 for mutual positioning of base unit 2 and lighting unit 3. It is a first Guiding element 24 is arranged on the base housing 21, and a second guide element 34 on the second contacting unit 33 on the illuminant carrier 31.
  • the two guide elements 24, 34 define the mutual position of the base housing 21 and the illuminant carrier 31 at least in one direction. Since the first guide member 24 is disposed on the base housing 21 and not on the first contacting unit 23, inaccuracies in positioning (represented by a double arrow) of the first contacting unit 23 on the base housing 21 can be corrected. Because, as will be explained below, a relative displacement between the two contacting units 23, 33 is also permissible, the contacting is not impaired by this inaccurate positioning of the first contacting unit 23.
  • one guide element is arranged on the illuminant carrier 31 and the other is arranged on the first contacting unit 23. Accordingly, an inaccuracy of the positioning of the second contacting unit 33 on the illuminant carrier 31 is permissible and is absorbed by the tolerance between the two contacting units 23, 33.
  • FIG. 5 shows in an exploded view a contacting unit 33 in the form of a plug, with spring contacts 37 and a plug housing of a housing lower part 36a and a lid 36b.
  • the spring contacts 37 are exemplified as spring-type terminals respectively spring terminals.
  • an insulating contact protection 38 is arranged as part of the lower housing part 36a around each contact area of a spring contact 37.
  • FIG. 6 shows in an exploded view a contacting unit 23 in the form of a socket, with contact lugs 27 for contacting the spring contacts 37 of a plug and a socket housing of a housing lower part 26a and a cover 26b.
  • One of the contact lugs is formed as a ground contact 27 'and has a Connection element for screwing and contacting with a metal housing. Between the contact lugs 27 each partition walls 29 are arranged.
  • the outer width d a of the contact protection 38 is about 3.5 millimeters and the inner width d i of the recess 28 is about 4.5 millimeters.
  • the connector has dimensions of a few centimeters, for example, a width (in the direction along which the contacts are lined up) of two to five centimeters and a height (in the first direction) of one to three or four centimeters.
  • FIGS. 7 to 8 show sections through the contacting units in the assembled state (corresponding to the mounted state of the lamp 1), with the elements already described.
  • FIG. 7 is a relative displaceability between first contacting unit 23 and second contacting unit 33 in a first direction, in which the contacting units 23, 33 are pluggable, shown by a double arrow.
  • This displaceability is, for example, two, three, five, ten millimeters or more, without the electrical contacts between the two contacting units 23, 33 being impaired.
  • FIG. 8 is a relative displaceability between the first contacting unit 23 and the second contacting unit 33 in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, shown by a double arrow.
  • This displacement is, for example, four, five, ten millimeters or more, without affecting the electrical contacts.
  • the second direction runs parallel to the surface of the contact lugs 27.
  • the displaceability in the first direction is two to three millimeters and in the second direction four to six millimeters.
