Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft gemäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 eine Stromsparlampe, die einen Anschlussockel mit eingebauter Elektronik und damit verbundenem, auf einen Lampenfuss montierten Lampenkörper mit einer oder mit mehreren Entladungslampen, umfasst. Der Begriff Anschlussockel umfasst sowohl Schraubsockel mit Edison-Gewinde als auch solche mit Miniaturgewinde oder mit Bajonettverschluss.The present invention relates to the preamble of the independent Claim 1 a power saving lamp that has a connector base with built-in Electronics and associated lamp body mounted on a lamp base with one or more discharge lamps. Of the Term connection base includes both screw base with Edison thread also those with miniature threads or with bayonet lock.

Stromsparlampen sind im allgemeinen in der Weise gebaut, dass sie durch einen Benützer in gleicher Weise gehandhabt werden kann, wie die allerorts gut bekannten Glühlampen mit einem Edison-Gewinde. Dazu wird bei der Herstellung die Entladungslampe auf einen Anschlussockel aufgebaut, der mit dem Edison-Gewinde versehen ist. Der Sockel enthält dann die elektronischen Bestandteile, wie Gleichrichter, Filterstufe, Anschwingschaltung und Hochfrequenzgenerator. Solche Schaltungen sind bekannt, so beschreibt beispielsweise die DE-A-3611611 eine Schaltungsanordnung zum hochfrequenten Betrieb einer Niederdruckentladungslampe bei welcher Schaltungsanordnung eine solche Anordnung dargelegt ist. Energy saving lamps are generally built in such a way that they can be switched off a user can be handled in the same way as anywhere else well known light bulbs with an Edison thread. For this, the Manufacture of the discharge lamp built on a connection base with the Edison thread. The base then contains the electronic ones Components such as rectifier, filter stage, start-up circuit and high-frequency generator. Such circuits are known, for example, describes DE-A-3611611 a circuit arrangement for high-frequency operation a low-pressure discharge lamp in which circuit arrangement such an arrangement is set out.

Es dürfte nun jedem Fachmann selbstverständlich erscheinen, dass, auch wenn eine solche Entladungslampe bei Normalbetrieb bis 8000 Stunden Brenndauer haben kann, die elektronische Schaltungsanordnung doch ein mehrfaches dieser Betriebsdauer auszuhalten vermag. Mit anderen Worten, in der heutigen Zeit, in der immer stärker auf das Recycling geachtet wird, sollten keine funktionstüchtigen Bestandteile weggeworfen werden müssen.It should now seem self-evident to any specialist that, even if such a discharge lamp in normal operation up to 8000 hours burning time can have, the electronic circuit arrangement a multiple can withstand this operating time. In other words, today There shouldn't be a time when more and more attention is paid to recycling functional components must be thrown away.

Dementsprechend ist es eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Stromsparlampe zu schaffen, bei der der elektronische Teil mehrfach verwendbar ist.Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a power saving lamp create where the electronic part is reusable.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies gemäss den Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 dadurch erreicht, dass der Schraubsockel mit einem, mit dem Schraubteil einstückig verbundenen prismatischen Körper mit zwei sich gegenüberbefindlichen parallelen Wänden ausgebildet ist, dass in den genannten parallelen Wänden je eine von der, dem Schraubteil gegenüberliegenden Oberseite in achsparalleler Richtung gegen das Schraubteil gerichtete Nut mit einer Endrast wenigstens auf einer Partie der gesamten Höhe des Körpers angeordnet ist, dass ferner der Lampenfuss in gleicher Weise wie der Körper umrissgleich prismatisch ausgebildet ist, dass er mit zwei achsparallelen mit den Nuten deckungsgleichen Laschen mit Rastnase versehen ist, und dass eine Schiebehülse vorhanden ist, die einen mit dem Umriss des Körpers und dem Lampenfuss deckungsgleichen Hohlraum aufweist und über Körper und Lampenfuss geschoben, die Laschen mit den Rastnasen in der Nut und der Endrast festhält.According to the invention, this is according to the features in the characterizing part of independent claim 1 achieved in that the screw base with a, with the screw part integrally connected prismatic body with two opposite parallel walls is formed that in said parallel walls each one of the opposite, the screw part Top side directed in the axis-parallel direction against the screw part Groove with a final catch at least on a lot of the entire height of the body is arranged so that the lamp base in the same way as the body is prismatic with the same outline, that it has two axially parallel is provided with tabs with congruent grooves with locking lugs, and that there is a sliding sleeve that matches the outline of the Body and the lamp base has congruent cavity and over Body and lamp base pushed, the tabs with the locking lugs in the Groove and the final catch holds.

Die Entladungslampe ist in bekannter Weise auf einen Lampensockel 3 aufgebaut. Sie besteht in üblicher Ausbildung aus einem einfachen oder einem doppelten Glaskörper, je nachdem, ob es sich um eine 5, 7, 11 oder 20 Watt Lampe handelt. Der Sockel 3 weist, wie aus Fig.1, 6b und 6c ersichtlich ist achsparallele nach unten ragende Laschen 31,32 mit Rastnasen 33,34 auf. Diese Laschen sind mit der Aussenwand des Sockels 2 fluchtend ausgebildet und die Rastnasen 33,34 sind gegeneinander gerichtet. The discharge lamp is constructed in a known manner on a lamp base 3. In conventional training, it consists of a simple or a double vitreous, depending on whether it is a 5, 7, 11 or 20 watts Lamp is acting. The base 3 has, as can be seen from Fig.1, 6b and 6c axially parallel downwardly projecting tabs 31.32 with locking lugs 33.34. These tabs are designed to be flush with the outer wall of the base 2 and the locking lugs 33, 34 are directed towards each other.

Das Gegenstück, die Nuten 15, 16 mit Endrasten 17, 18 befinden sich im Schraubsockel 1, und zwar im Sockelteil 11. Sie sind auf zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Wänden dieses Sockelteils 11 angeordnet und laufen achsparallel zur Hauptachse der Anordnung. Es dürfte nun einleuchtend sein, dass auf diese Art der Lampensockel 3 zusammen mit der Entladungslampe auswechselbar gestaltet werden kann.The counterpart, the grooves 15, 16 with end catches 17, 18 are in the Screw base 1, in the base part 11. They are on two opposite Walls of this base part 11 are arranged and run axially parallel to the main axis of the arrangement. It should now be obvious that on this type of lamp base 3 can be replaced together with the discharge lamp can be designed.

Es ist natürlich selbstverständlich, dass der Lampensockel mit Steckerstiften 35 und der Schraubsockel 1 mit entsprechenden Buchsen 18 versehen sein muss. Damit der Lampenteil vom Sockelteil trennbar ist. Es besteht nun die Möglichkeit, in der Elektronik für jede heute gebräuchliche Leistung der Lampen eine Anzapfung zu machen, so dass mit z.B. vier Buchsen 19 die jeweils richtige Leistungsanpassung gewählt werden kann. Der Lampenhersteller braucht dann lediglich den jeweiligen Stift am Lampensockel richtig zu plazieren, um so sicherzustellen, dass die Entladungslampe richtig gespeist wird.It goes without saying that the lamp base with plug pins 35 and the screw base 1 may be provided with corresponding sockets 18 got to. So that the lamp part can be separated from the base part. There is now the Possibility in electronics for every performance of today Lamps to make a tap so that e.g. four sockets 19 the correct power adjustment can be selected in each case. The lamp manufacturer then only needs the correct pin on the lamp base properly to ensure that the discharge lamp is properly supplied becomes.

Der Benützer kann somit jede beliebige Lampe einstecken, so, dass er wenn zuerst eine zu schwache Lichtleistung vorgesehen war, problemlos eine Entladungslampe mit stärkerer Lichtleistung in denselben Sockel einstecken kann.The user can thus plug in any lamp so that he can first a too weak light output was provided, a discharge lamp without problems can plug into the same base with a higher light output.

Es ist nun lediglich noch dafür zu sorgen, dass Schraubsockel 1 und Lampensockel 3 mechanisch stabil zusammengefügt sind, so dass nicht versehentlich die Lampe durch einfaches Ziehen vom Schraubsockel getrennt werden kann.It is now only necessary to ensure that screw base 1 and lamp base 3 mechanically stable are joined together, so that not accidentally the lamp can be separated from the screw base by simply pulling it.

Dazu ist eine Schiebehülse 4 gemäss Fig.5 a-c vorhanden, die über Lampenfuss 3 und Sockel 11 geschoben, dafür sorgt, dass die Laschen 31,32 mit ihren Rastnasen 33,34 des Lampensockels 3 in den Nuten 14,15 mit den Endrasten 16, 17 des prismatischen Körpers 11 eingehängt bleiben. Die beiden Teile, nämlich der prismatische Körper 11 und die Lampe sind damit als einstückig zu betrachten.For this purpose, there is a sliding sleeve 4 according to FIG. 5 a-c, which extends over the lamp base 3 and base 11 pushed, ensures that the tabs 31,32 with their Lugs 33, 34 of the lamp base 3 in the grooves 14, 15 with the end catches 16, 17 of the prismatic body 11 remain suspended. The two parts namely the prismatic body 11 and the lamp are thus in one piece consider.

Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Schiebehülse liegt in ihrer Dekorationsmöglichkeit. So wäre es denkbar, dass sie beispielsweise mit einem Reflektorschirm versehen als gerichteter Scheinwerfer benützt werden kann. Auch liesse sich denken, dass diese Schiebehülse mit einem kugelförmigen Körper versehen, die Entladungslampe vollständig umhüllt und so den technischen Eindruck der durch die Anordnung und die Form der Entladungsröhren verdeckt und damit eine ästhetische Form darstellt.Another advantage of this sliding sleeve is that it can be decorated. So it would be conceivable that, for example, with a reflector screen can be used as a directed headlight. Also could be think that this sliding sleeve has a spherical body, the discharge lamp completely envelops and so the technical impression of the covered by the arrangement and shape of the discharge tubes and thus represents an aesthetic form.
