Abstract

An operating section (15) is provided for the lamp holder (10) rotor. This is a flat disc fastened to the visible surface of the rotor and includes a slot aligned with the guide slot. The radial arm (16) projecting beyond the circumference of the holder, is used to turn the rotor.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Lampenfassung für zweiseitig gesockelte, jeweils zwei lampenachsparallele Sockelstifte aufweisende Leuchtstofflampen mit einem Fassungsgehäuse und darin befindlichen Kontakten sowie mit einem im Fassungskörper drehbar gelagerten Rotor, der einen Führungsschlitz zum lampenachsqueren Einführen der Lampensockelstifte aufweistThe invention relates to a lamp holder for two-sided socketed, each having two lamp pins parallel to the lamp Fluorescent lamps with a socket housing and in it located contacts and with a rotatable in the socket body mounted rotor, which has a guide slot to cross the lamp axis Introducing the lamp base pins

Im Zuge der Miniaturisierung von Leuchten werden zwangsläufig auch die Leuchtengehäuse, in denen die Lampen und Lampenfassungen untergebracht sind, enger und erschweren den Einsatz und das Auswechseln der Lampen, da diese innerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses mit den Fingern einer Hand nur äußerst mühsam zu erfassen und zu handhaben sind.In the course of miniaturization of lights are inevitable also the luminaire housing in which the lamps and lamp holders are housed, tighter and more difficult to use and the replacement of the lamps, as these are inside the lamp housing very difficult to grasp with the fingers of one hand and are to be handled.

Aus DE 94 09 147 U1 ist eine Ein- und Ausbauhilfe zum Wechsel von zweiseitig gesockelten Leuchtstofflampen bekannt, die als längliche Platine auf die Kontaktstifte der Lampe aufsteckbar ist und sich im eingebauten Zustand von außen erreichbar zwischen Lampensockel und Lampenfassung befindet. Dabei weist die Platine entweder zwei Durchgangslöcher zum Durchstecken der Lampenkontaktstifte auf oder einen oder mehrere Schlitze zum nachträglichen Aufstecken der Platine auf die Lampenkontaktstifte auf. In beiden Ausführungsvarianten ist die Platine mit dem Lampensockel drehbar verbunden.DE 94 09 147 U1 is an installation and removal aid for changing of double-ended fluorescent lamps known as elongated board can be plugged onto the contact pins of the lamp and accessible from the outside between the lamp base when installed and lamp holder. The board either points two through holes for inserting the lamp contact pins on or one or more slots for subsequent insertion the circuit board onto the lamp contact pins. In both versions the circuit board is rotatably connected to the lamp base.

Sofern bei der einen Variante die Platine als separates Werkzeug ausgefuhrt ist, das bedarfsweise an die Lampenkontaktstifte angesteckt wird, besteht der Nachteil, dass dieses separate Werkzeug leicht verloren gehen kann oder umstandlich in der Nähe der Leuchte aufzubewahren ist, was ebenfalls die Wahrscheinlichkeit in sich birgt, dass es im Bedarfsfall nicht zur Verfügung steht. Soweit daran gedacht ist, die Platine dauerhaft mit den Lampenkontaktstiften verbunden zu lassen, ist anzumerken, dass die Platine bei jeder Handhabung einer Lampe auf deren Kontaktstifte aufzufädeln ist und im Falle eines Lampenwechsels von der zu entfernenden Lampe abgezogen werden muss.If the board is a separate tool in one variant is carried out, if necessary, to the lamp contact pins the disadvantage is that this separate tool easily get lost or awkward near the lamp is to be kept, which also contains the probability that it is not available when needed. As far as thought of it the board is permanently connected to the lamp contact pins leave it to be noted that the board has a Thread the lamp onto its contact pins and in the event of a lamp change be removed from the lamp to be removed got to.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lampenfassung der vorgenannten Art verfügbar zu machen, die sich sehr leicht handhaben lässt und im Bedarfsfall stets zuverlässig zur Verfügung steht.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is therefore based on a lamp holder of the aforementioned type available make that is very easy to handle and always when needed is reliably available.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1. Dem gemäß ist die Erfindung gekennzeichnet durch ein Betätigungsglied für den Rotor der Lampenfassung, das flach und im wesentlichen scheibenförmig ausgebildet und an der Ansichtsflache des Rotors befestigt ist und dabei ein im Bedienteil angeordneter Schlitz mit dem Führungsschlitz fluchtet und dadurch, dass das Bedienteil wenigstens einen im wesentlichen radial zur Lampenachse ausgerichteten Betätigungsarm aufweist, der über den Umfang des Fassungskörpers vorsteht.The solution to this problem consists in the features of independent claim 1. Accordingly, the invention is characterized by an actuator for the rotor of the lamp holder, the flat and essentially disc-shaped and on the View face of the rotor is attached and one in the control panel arranged slot is aligned with the guide slot and thereby, that the control unit has at least one substantially radial to the lamp axis Aligned actuating arm that over the The scope of the socket body protrudes.

Da das Bedienglied im Sinne eines Rotor-Betätigungsorgans am Rotor fest angebracht ist, steht es im Bedarfsfall stets zur Verfügung und kann nicht verloren gehen. Eine einfache Handhabung ist gewährleistet, da das Bedienglied zumindest über den Umfang des Fassungskörpers vorsteht, der in der Regel nicht größer ist als der Lampensockeldurchmesser. Ansonsten kann die Ausladung des Bedienglieds selbstverständlich auch so ausgelegt sein, dass sie den Umfang des Lampensockels überragt.Since the control element in the sense of a rotor actuator is permanently attached to the rotor, it is always available when needed and cannot be lost. Easy handling is guaranteed because the control element at least over the scope of Bulb body protrudes, which is usually no larger than that Lamp base diameter. Otherwise the projection of the The control element can of course also be designed so that the Exceeded the circumference of the lamp base.

Die Erfindung weist darüber hinaus weitere Vorteile auf Das am Rotor befestigte Bedienglied überträgt die von Hand ausgeübten Betätigungskrafte unmittelbar auf den Rotor, der dann seinerseits die Lampenkontaktstifte in Drehrichtung mitnimmt. Es werden demnach die Lampenkontaktstifte schonend vom Rotor und nicht über ein krafteinleitendes Werkzeug beaufschlagt Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass das Bedienglied ein sehr einfaches, kleines Bauteil darstellt, dass z.B. als Spritzgießteil aus Kunststoff in einem wenig aufwändigen Spritzgießwerkzeug gefertigt werden kann. Zusätzlich weist die Erfindung den Vorzug auf, dass handelsübliche Rotorfassungen mit diesem Bedienglied nachträglich, d.h. nach Abschluss ihrer grundlegenden Herstellung ausgerüstet werden können. Eine erfindungsgemäße Lampenfassung benötigt daher keine besondere Fertigungsstufe in einem Produktionsprozess Dadurch vereinfacht sich die Disposition beim Fassungshersteller, der lediglich die aktuell benötigte Anzahl an Standardfassungen mit einem Bedienglied auszurüsten brauchtThe invention also has further advantages Rotor-attached control element transmits the manual operating forces directly on the rotor, which in turn is the lamp contact pins in the direction of rotation. So it will be the Lamp contact pins are gentle on the rotor and not on a force-introducing one Tool applied Another advantage of the invention is that the control element is a very simple, small component represents that e.g. as a plastic injection molded part in a little complex injection molding tool can be manufactured. additionally the invention has the advantage that commercially available rotor mounts with this control element, i.e. after completing their basic manufacturing can be equipped. An inventive Lamp holder therefore does not require a special manufacturing stage in a production process This simplifies Disposition at the frame manufacturer, who only needs the one currently required Number of standard sockets to be equipped with one control element need

In konstruktiver Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Bedienglied im wesentlichen form- und/oder rastschlüssig mit dem Rotor verbunden sein, also beispielsweise daran fest angeklemmt oder angerastet sein.In a constructive embodiment of the invention, the control element essentially positively and / or non-positively connected to the rotor be, for example, firmly clamped or snapped onto it his.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann das Bedienglied auf seiner dem Rotor zugewandten Rückseite mit wenigstens einem Steck- oder Rastzapfen versehen sein zum Eingriff in wenigstens einen komplementären Durchbruch des Rotors. Diese Ausführung ist vornehmlich für Rotorfassungen besonders interessant, deren Rotor in der Stirnseite sog "Prüfspitzendurchbrüche" aufweist, die das Einführen von Prüfspitzen erlauben, die die hinter diesen Durchbrüchen liegenden Fassungskontakte zum Funktionstest der Leuchte beaufschlagen. Diesbezüglich macht sich die Erfindung das Vorhandensein solcher im Rotor vorhandener Bohrungen zunutze, um darin das Bedienglied mittels korrespondierender Zapfen zu befestigen.According to a preferred embodiment, the Control element on its rear facing the rotor with be provided with at least one plug or locking pin for engagement in at least one complementary breakthrough of the rotor. This Execution is particularly interesting for rotor mounts, whose rotor has so-called "test probe openings" in the front, that allow the insertion of test probes that the behind these Breakthrough socket contacts for the functional test of the Apply light. In this regard, the invention does that Take advantage of the presence of such holes in the rotor to to fix the control element in it by means of corresponding pins.

Das Bedienglied kann selbst wiederum Durchbrüche aufweisen, die mit den Prüfspitzenöffnungen des Rotors fluchten und somit die Funktion der Fassungsprüfung weiterhin gewährleisten. The control element itself can in turn have openings, that are aligned with the probe tip openings of the rotor and thus the Continue to guarantee the function of the frame check.

Entsprechend einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann das Bedienglied auf seiner dem Rotor zugewandten Rückseite mit einer Einsenkung versehen sein, deren Umriss an den Umriss des Rotors angepasst ist. Hierdurch ist eine Formanpassung zwischen Bedienglied und Rotor gegeben, die eine optimale Kraftübertragung vom Bedienglied auf den Rotor bei dessen Drehbetätigung garantiert.According to a further embodiment, this can Control element on its rear facing the rotor with a Be provided with a depression, the outline of which corresponds to the outline of the rotor is adjusted. This is a shape adjustment between the control element and rotor given an optimal power transmission from Operating element on the rotor guaranteed when it is turned.

Eine insgesamt mit 10 bezeichnete Lampenfassung dient in einander gegenüberliegender Anordnung als Fassungspaar zur Halterung und zum elektrischen Anschluss einer nicht gezeigten, zweiseitig gesockelten Leuchtstofflampe.A lamp socket, designated overall by 10, serves one another opposite arrangement as a pair of sockets for mounting and for the electrical connection of a two-sided, not shown socketed fluorescent lamp.

Eine klassische Einbausituation einer solchen Lampenfassung 10 in einer Leuchte 11 zeigt Fig.1. Von dieser Leuchte 11 sind ein auf einem Strangpressprofil aufbauendes Leuchtengehäuse 12 und ein darin angeordneter Reflektor 13 gezeigt. Wesentlich ist, dass die räumlichen Verhältnisse seitlich neben den Fassungen 10 und also auch neben der von diesen gehaltenen Lampe nur sehr schmale Spalte 14 belassen, die beim Einsetzten oder Auswechseln einer Lampe einen Zugriff mit der Hand nicht erlauben oder allenfalls äußerst umständlich gestalten.A classic installation situation of such a lamp holder 10 in a lamp 11 shows Fig.1. Of this lamp 11 are on an extruded profile luminaire housing 12 and a reflector 13 arranged therein is shown. It is essential that the spatial conditions laterally next to the sockets 10 and so only very narrow next to the lamp held by them Leave column 14 when inserting or replacing one Do not allow lamp access by hand or at best design extremely cumbersome.

Entsprechend der Erfindung ist daher ein Bedienteil 15 zum Verdrehen des Rotors 19 einer Rotorfassung 10 vorgesehen, welches eine die Lampenfassung 10 überragende Handhabe 16 aufweist, die sich von außen leicht mit der Hand ergreifen lässt. Ausführungsformen dieses Bedienteils 15 und seine Anordnungen werden am besten aus den im weiteren erläuterten Figuren verständlich.According to the invention is therefore a control panel 15 for Rotation of the rotor 19 of a rotor mount 10 is provided, which has a handle 16 projecting beyond the lamp holder 10, which can be easily gripped by hand from the outside. embodiments this control panel 15 and its arrangements are best made the figures explained below understandable.

Das Bedienteil 15 weist entsprechend den Fig. 2 bis 5 einen plattenhaften, dünnen Grundkörper 17 auf, der einen mit 18 bezeichneten, einseitig randoffenen Längsschlitz enthält.The control unit 15 has a corresponding to FIGS. 2 to 5 plate-like, thin base body 17, one of which is designated by 18, contains longitudinal slit open on one side.

In der Lampenfassung 10 und dem drehbar darin aufgenommenen Rotor 19 befinden sich ebenfalls Schlitze 20, die in allgemein bekannter Weise dem Einführen der Sockelkontaktstifte einer röhrenförmigen Leuchtstofflampe dienen. Üblicherweise werden nach dem Einsetzen der Lampe und deren anschließendem Drehen um etwa 90° um ihre Längsachse die Sockelkontaktstifte mit den in der Fassung 10 befindlichen Kontakten in Funktionsstellung gebracht. Zugleich ist dabei die Lampe mit ihren Sockelkontaktstiften quer zu den Führungsschlitzen 20 orientiert, so dass sie nicht aus den Fassungen 10 herausfallen kann.In the lamp holder 10 and rotatably received therein Rotor 19 also has slots 20 which are generally shown in FIG known way of inserting the socket contact pins of a tubular Serve fluorescent lamp. Usually after Insert the lamp and then turn it about 90 ° around its longitudinal axis, the socket contact pins with the socket 10 contacts located in the functional position. At the same time the lamp with its base contact pins across the guide slots 20 oriented so that they do not fall out of the sockets 10 can.

Erfindungsgemäß wird das Bedienglied 15 mit dem Rotor 19 fest verbunden, z.B. indem es auf die Ansichtsfläche 21 des Rotors 19 aufgeklebt oder mit dem Rotor 19 insbes. mittel Ultraschallschweißen verbunden wird According to the invention, the operating member 15 with the rotor 19 firmly connected, e.g. by being on the face 21 of the rotor 19 glued on or with the rotor 19, in particular by means of ultrasonic welding is connected

Alternativ oder zusätzlich dazu kann das Bedienglied 15 auf seiner hinteren Fläche oder Rückseite 22 (Fig. 5) jedoch auch mit Steck- oder Steckrastzapfen 23 versehen sein. Diese dienen zum Eingriff in sog. Prüfspitzendurchbrüche 24, durch die Prüfspitzen eines Funktionstestgeräts zu den dahinter befindlichen Fassungskontakten eingeführt werden können.As an alternative or in addition, the operating member 15 can be on its rear surface or back 22 (Fig. 5) but also with plug or plug-in locking pin 23 may be provided. These are used to engage in So-called test probe openings 24, through the test probes of a function test device introduced to the socket contacts behind it can be.

Für den Fall, dass die Fassung 10 diese Prüfmöglichkeit auch nach Ausrüstung mit dem Bedienteil 15 behalten soll, so wird das Bedienteil 15, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, selbst wiederum mit Durchbrüchen 25 in seinem Grundkörper 17 versehen sein.In the event that the version 10 also this option after keeping with the control panel 15, so it will Control unit 15, as indicated in Fig. 1, again with openings 25 be provided in its base body 17.

Fig 5 zeigt eine auf der Rückseite 22 des Bedienteils 15 vorhandene Einsenkung 26, deren Umriss zum Umfang 27 des Rotors 15 formkomplementär ist und somit einen besonderen Formschluss bei der Verbindung Rotor/Bedienglied erzeugt und im übrigen auch eine Zentrierhilfe zur leichten zuordnungsgerechten Verbindung dieser Teile darstellt5 shows an existing one on the rear side 22 of the operating part 15 Countersink 26, the outline of which extends to the circumference 27 of the rotor 15 is complementary to the form and thus a special form fit the connection between the rotor and the control element and also a Centering aid for easy assignment-related connection of these Represents parts

Abschließend sei darauf hingewiesen, dass es zur Erreichung der angestrebten Ziele ausreichend ist, wenn nur eine der beiden einer Lampe zugeordneten Lampenfassungen erfindungsgemäß ausgebildet ist.In conclusion, it should be noted that it is to achieve The desired goals are sufficient if only one of the two is one Lamp sockets associated with the lamp are designed according to the invention is.
