BELEUCHTUNGSELEMENTLIGHTING ELEMENT

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Beleuchtungselement für Fußleisten, mit einer Platine, die mit Leuchtdioden bestückt ist.The invention relates to a lighting element for skirting boards, with a circuit board equipped with light-emitting diodes.

Die Leuchtkraft von Leuchtdioden (LEDs) konnte in den letzten Jahren so weit gesteigert werden, daß diese Leuchtdioden nicht nur als Signal- und Anzeigeelemente, sondern auch zu Beleuchtungszwecken einsetzbar sind, zumindest als Notleuchten für die Beleuchtung von Gängen oder Fluren in Hotels, verdunkelten Filmvorführungssäälen und dergleichen.In recent years, the luminosity of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been increased to such an extent that these light-emitting diodes can be used not only as signaling and display elements, but also for lighting purposes, at least as emergency lights for illuminating corridors or hallways in hotels, darkened film screening rooms and the like.

Für solche Anwendungszwecke ist es besonders zweckmäßig, das Leuchtelement in die Fußleisten zu integrieren.For such applications, it is particularly useful to integrate the lighting element into the skirting boards.

Wenn die Wege, die mit Hilfe der Beleuchtungselemente markiert und ausgeleuchtet werden sollen, winklig verlaufen, wäre es wünschenswert, die Beleuchtungselemente insbesondere auch an den Innen- oder Außenecken der Fußleisten oder sonstiger Gegenstände anzubringen, die den Weg begrenzen.If the paths to be marked and illuminated by the lighting elements are angled, it would be desirable to install the lighting elements particularly on the inside or outside corners of the skirting boards or other objects that border the path.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Beleuchtungselement zu schaffen, das sich einfach in Innen- oder Außenecken installieren läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to create a lighting element that can be easily installed in interior or exterior corners.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Beleuchtungselement der Eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Platine in mehrere Segmente unterteilt ist, die schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind und jeweils mindestens eine Leuchtdiode tragen.This object is achieved according to the invention in a lighting element of the type mentioned at the outset in that the circuit board is divided into several segments which are pivotally connected to one another and each carry at least one light-emitting diode.

Die schwenkbare Verbindung der beiden Segmente der Platine gestattet es dann, die Platine für den Einbau in Innen- oder Außenecken um den jeweils gewünschten Winkel, beispielsweise um 90°, abzuwinkein, so daß sich das Beleuchtungselement unmittelbar in der Ecke des betreffenden Gegenstandes, beispielsweise in einem Fußleisten-Eckverbinder einbauen läßt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, daß die schwenkbare Verbindung zwischen den Segmenten der Platine eine Anpassung an beliebige Eckwinkel sowohl in Innenecken als auch in Außenecken ermöglicht.The pivoting connection between the two segments of the board then allows the board to be bent at the desired angle, for example 90°, for installation in inside or outside corners, so that the lighting element can be installed directly in the corner of the object in question, for example in a skirting board corner connector. A particularly advantageous feature is that the pivoting connection between the segments of the board allows adaptation to any corner angle in both inside and outside corners.

Zur schwenkbaren Verbindung der Segmente der Platine kann ein Gelenk oder vorzugsweise ein Filmscharnier vorgesehen sein. Wahlweise oder zusätzlich ist es auch möglich, die schwenkbare Verbindung durch flexible Kabel oder sonstige elektrische Leiter herzustellen, die zugleich die beiden Segmente der Platine elektrisch miteinander verbinden.A joint or preferably a film hinge can be provided for the pivotable connection of the circuit board segments. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to create the pivotable connection using flexible cables or other electrical conductors that simultaneously electrically connect the two circuit board segments to one another.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist jedes Segment der Platine mindestens zwei elektrische Kontakte für den Anschluß einer elektrischen Versorgungsleitung auf, und die einander entsprechenden Kontakte der Segmente sind über das Gelenk hinweg elektrisch miteinander verbunden, so daß es möglich ist, mehrere Beleuchtungselemente nach Art einer Durchverdrahtung elektrisch miteinander zu verketten.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, each segment of the circuit board has at least two electrical contacts for connecting an electrical supply line, and the corresponding contacts of the segments are electrically connected to one another via the joint, so that it is possible to electrically link several lighting elements together in the manner of through-wiring.

Bevorzugt ist auf der Platine des Beleuchtungselements, vorzugsweise auf jedem Segment, mindestens ein Vorwiderstand vorgesehen, der es gestattet, die Leuchtdioden unmittelbar an den Phasenleiter eines Netzkabels anzuschließen, so daß für den Betrieb der Leuchtdioden weder ein Transformator noch ein sonstiges Vorschaltgerät benötigt wird. Insbesondere in den Fällen, in denen eine Vielzahl der erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungselemente in einen längeren Fußleistenstrang integriert und über Durchverdrahtungen miteinander verbunden sind, hat diese Lösung den Vorteil, daß über das Netzkabel eine verlustarme Stromzufuhr zu den Beleuchtungselementen erreicht wird, so daß die Leuchtdiöden sämtlicher Beleuchtungselemente im wesentlichen die gleiche Helligkeit aufweisen.Preferably, at least one series resistor is provided on the circuit board of the lighting element, preferably on each segment, which allows the LEDs to be connected directly to the phase conductor of a power cable, so that neither a transformer nor any other ballast is required to operate the LEDs. In particular in cases where a large number of the lighting elements according to the invention are integrated into a longer baseboard line and connected to one another via through-wiring, this solution has the advantage that a low-loss power supply to the lighting elements is achieved via the power cable, so that the LEDs of all lighting elements have essentially the same brightness.

Selbstverständlich kann das erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungselement nicht nur in Innen- oder Außenecken installiert werden, sondern auch auf geraden Fußleistenabschnitten. In diesem Fall werden die gegeneinander schwenkbaren Segmente der Platine in gestreckter Lage angeordnet und in dieser Anordnung in die Fußleiste oder in einen O°-Fußleistenverbinder eingebaut. Der Einbau in einen Fußleistenverbinder hat den Vorteil, daß geeignete Lichtaustrittsöffnungen, in oder hinter denen die Leuchtdioden angeordnet sind, kostengünstig in den Fußleistenverbindern vorbereitet werden können, so daß keine umständlichen Vorbereitungsarbeiten an den zumeist als Strangprofil hergestellten Fußlei-Of course, the lighting element according to the invention can be installed not only in inside or outside corners, but also on straight skirting board sections. In this case, the segments of the board that can be pivoted against each other are arranged in an extended position and installed in this arrangement in the skirting board or in a 0° skirting board connector. Installation in a skirting board connector has the advantage that suitable light outlet openings, in or behind which the LEDs are arranged, can be prepared inexpensively in the skirting board connectors, so that no complicated preparatory work is required on the skirting boards, which are usually manufactured as extruded profiles.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Beleuchtungselement mit einer Platine 10, die in zwei rechtekkige Segmente 12 unterteilt ist. Die beiden Segmente 12 sind über ein FiImscharnier 14 und über kurze, isolierte Kabelstücke 16 biegsam miteinander verbunden, so daß die beiden Segmente relativ zueinander um eine Achse schwenkbar sind, die parallel zu den einander zugewandten Kanten der beiden Segmente in der Mitte zwischen diesen Segmenten verläuft.Figure 1 shows a lighting element with a circuit board 10 which is divided into two rectangular segments 12. The two segments 12 are flexibly connected to one another via a film hinge 14 and short, insulated cable pieces 16, so that the two segments can be pivoted relative to one another about an axis which runs parallel to the facing edges of the two segments in the middle between these segments.

Jedes Segment 12 der Platine trägt im gezeigten Beispiel zwei Felder 18, die jeweils mit neun Leuchtdioden 20 bestückt sind. Die Leuchtdioden 20 können unmittelbar an die Platine angelötet sein. Jedes der Felder 18 wird im gezeigten Beispiel durch eine Blende gebildet, die mit kreisförmigen Öffnungen für die einzelnen Leuchtdioden 20 versehen ist und flach auf die Oberfläche der Platine aufgedrückt wird, so daß sie ein erhöhtes Plateau bildet und die einzelnen Leuchtdioden 20 schützt und präzise miteinander ausrichtet.In the example shown, each segment 12 of the circuit board has two fields 18, each of which is equipped with nine LEDs 20. The LEDs 20 can be soldered directly to the circuit board. In the example shown, each of the fields 18 is formed by a cover that is provided with circular openings for the individual LEDs 20 and is pressed flat onto the surface of the circuit board so that it forms a raised plateau and protects the individual LEDs 20 and aligns them precisely with one another.

Auf der Rückseite weist jedes Segment 12 der Platine 10 zwei durchgehende Leiterbahnen 22 auf. Jede Leiterbahn bildet an jedem Ende einen Kontakt 24, beispielsweise in der Form einer Lötfahne. Die Kabelstücke 16 sind an die Kontakte 24 an den einander zugewandten Enden der Leiterbahnen 22 der beiden Segment 12 angelötet. An die übrigen, an den Außenkanten gelegenen Kontakte 24 ist jeweils eine Ader eines zweiadrigen Netzkabels 26 angelötet. Die beiden Netzkabel 26, die in dieser Weise jeweils an ein Segment 12 angeschlossen sind, werden folglich durch die Leiterbahnen 22 und die Kabelstücke 16 elektrisch miteinander verbunden, so daß es möglich ist, eine Vielzahl von Beleuchtungselementen der in Figur 1 gezeigten Art über Netzkabel 26 miteinander zu verketten.On the back, each segment 12 of the circuit board 10 has two continuous conductor tracks 22. Each conductor track forms a contact 24 at each end, for example in the form of a soldering lug. The cable pieces 16 are soldered to the contacts 24 at the mutually facing ends of the conductor tracks 22 of the two segments 12. A wire of a two-wire power cable 26 is soldered to the remaining contacts 24 located on the outer edges. The two power cables 26, which are each connected to a segment 12 in this way, are consequently electrically connected to one another by the conductor tracks 22 and the cable pieces 16, so that it is possible to chain together a large number of lighting elements of the type shown in Figure 1 via power cables 26.

Die elektrischen Leiterbahnen für die Stromversorgung der einzelnen Leuchtdioden 20 sind auf der Rückseite der Platine 10 ausgebildet. Jedes Segment 12 trägt auf der Rückseite einen Vorwiderstand 28 und eine Gleichrichterdiode 30, über die die positiven Elektroden jeder Leuchtdiode mit dem Phasenleiter des Netzkabels 26 verbunden werden. Die negativen Elektroden jeder Diode sind über die in der Zeichnung untere Leiterbahn 22 mit dem Null-Leiter des Netzkabels 26 verbunden.The electrical conductor tracks for the power supply of the individual LEDs 20 are formed on the back of the circuit board 10. Each segment 12 has a series resistor 28 and a rectifier diode 30 on the back, via which the positive electrodes of each LED are connected to the phase conductor of the power cable 26. The negative electrodes of each diode are connected to the neutral conductor of the power cable 26 via the lower conductor track 22 in the drawing.

In Figur 2 ist als Anwendungsbeispiel ein mehrfach abgewinkelter Abschnitt einer Fußleiste 32 gezeigt, die aus Fußleistenelementen 34, beispielsweise in der Form von Strangprofilen, und aus einem Eckverbinder 36 für eine Innenecke und einem Eckverbinder 38 für eine Außenecke aufgebaut ist. Bei den Eckverbindern 36, 38 handelt es sich um Spritzteile aus Kunststoff, die an der Rückseite offen sind, so daß sie die Enden der Fußleistenelemente 34 übergreifen können. In jedem Eckverbinder ist eine Blende 40 ausgebildet, die Öffnungen für die mit den Leuchtdioden bestücken Felder 18 freiläßt. Wahlweise können diese Öffnungen auch durch transparentes Material abgedeckt sein.Figure 2 shows a multiply angled section of a skirting board 32 as an application example, which is made up of skirting board elements 34, for example in the form of extruded profiles, and a corner connector 36 for an inside corner and a corner connector 38 for an outside corner. The corner connectors 36, 38 are injection-molded plastic parts that are open at the back so that they can overlap the ends of the skirting board elements 34. A cover 40 is formed in each corner connector, which leaves openings for the fields 18 equipped with the LEDs. These openings can optionally also be covered with transparent material.

Bei der Installation der Fußleiste 32 werden die in die Eckverbinder 36, 38 einzusetzenden Platinen 10 der Beleuchtungselemente jeweils von hinten in den betreffenden Eckverbinder eingesetzt. Die beiden Schenkel 12 der Platine werden dabei am Filmscharnier 14 so gebogen, daß sie eine den Schenkeln des Eckverbinders entsprechende Konfiguration bilden und daß die Felder 18 in die Öffnungen der Blenden 40 eintreten. Bei dem Eckverbinder 36 für die Innenecke können zunächst die beiden Felder 18 des einen Segments 12 in die zugehörige Blende 40 eingesetzt werden, und anschließend wird das andere Segment 12 so gebogen, daß seine Felder in die Öffnungen der anderen Blende eintreten. Bei dem Eckverbinder 38 für die Außenecke werden die beiden Schenkel zunächst um etwas mehr als 90° abgewinkelt, so daß die Felder 18 beider Segmente in die zugehörigen Öffnungen der Blenden eintreten, wenn die Schenkel aufgrund der Elastizität des Filmscharniers 14 wieder etwas zurückfedern. Wahlweises können die Segmente 12 der Platinen 10 zusätzlich durch Rastverbindungen, Klebeverbindungen oder in sonstiger Weise in den Eckverbindern gesichert werden.When installing the skirting board 32, the circuit boards 10 of the lighting elements to be inserted into the corner connectors 36, 38 are each inserted from behind into the relevant corner connector. The two legs 12 of the circuit board are bent at the film hinge 14 so that they form a configuration corresponding to the legs of the corner connector and so that the fields 18 enter the openings of the panels 40. In the case of the corner connector 36 for the inner corner, the two fields 18 of one segment 12 can first be inserted into the associated panel 40, and then the other segment 12 is bent so that its fields enter the openings of the other panel. In the corner connector 38 for the outside corner, the two legs are initially angled by slightly more than 90° so that the fields 18 of both segments enter the corresponding openings in the panels when the legs spring back slightly due to the elasticity of the film hinge 14. Optionally, the segments 12 of the boards 10 can also be secured in the corner connectors by snap-in connections, adhesive connections or in some other way.

Bei dem in Figur 2 gezeigten Beispiel ist außerdem auch in einem der Fußleistenelemente 34 eine Öffnung ausgespart, die durch eine Blende 42 ausgefüllt wird.
