Definitions
- the lights usually consisted of a lamp holder with a light bulb in a reflector, and possibly a transformer, the light of the lamp was bundled and distributed sensibly by a lens to specifications to the visibility requirements of the traffic suffice.
- These systems are typically open, meaning that they require a sealed housing to keep moisture, dirt and corrosive substances away from the sensitive optical surfaces and the live components. The case must be able to be opened to change the lamp.
- the signal generator consists of interconnected individual housings, the so-called chambers, each containing a light. Each chamber is closed at the front with a sealed lid, the so-called front, in which the stray lens is tightly inserted, or even more components of the optics are installed. From such elements, the known single, two and triple, sometimes multi-chamber signal generator are composed.
- LED inserts consistently have a smaller overall depth and therefore fit into the existing recordings of the signal generator housing, whereby a simple replacement is guaranteed.
- they differ from the conventional optics by an indispensable control electronics located inside them, which is why they themselves are completely sealed.
- a new housing for signalers should be produced with minimal material costs and modular.
- the LED inserts should be replaced in case of a defect from the outside without opening the case. There should be large openings for the supply of cables, but also for the use of modern plug systems, with further use of existing fastening systems.
- the signal generator should be able to be assembled quickly without screwing and have a pleasing, smooth, easy to clean outer contour.
- the space between the LED inserts should be usable as for profile housings for other installations such as sensors or control boards. Of course, all requirements must be met according to various general regulations and loads, such as safety against vandalism, electric shock, as well as fire protection and wind load.
- US Pat. No. 6,145,683 discloses a modular housing according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the DE 20 2006 014 987 U1 discloses a signaling system with a housing and a pivotally mounted door. Three separate signal lights are each housed in a housing. This document primarily relates to the configuration of the door with a recessed receptacle for the LED lighting device, but contains no further disclosure of the housing itself.
- a disadvantage is the effort of looping through the electrical connections, lack of use of the spaces, and the effort to produce each closed chambers.
- US 4,117,456 (Albrecht ) introduces a signal generator of half chambers. These are connected with each other arbitrarily. The wiring is made through the openings. The problem is the tightness of the split openings.
- the chambers also show two longitudinal slots for receiving so-called contrast apertures, which consist of at least two parts in order to insert them into the column can.
- US 3,991,400 (Buehler ) shows a basically widespread construction.
- the individual chambers are held together by one screw in the rear, the Cables are passed through holes in this area.
- Each chamber is closed by a front with sealed-in dispersion lens.
- a disadvantage is the effort of threading through the wiring, the complete disassembly when replacing a chamber, or the lack of use of the spaces.
- CA 2,025,777 shows a solution that relieves the chambers of the wind forces and this passes on an integrated steel pipe. As a result, the chambers can be made weaker.
- U.S. 4,189,709 shows a solution in a related field, namely a roof signal lamp for emergency vehicles.
- a roof signal lamp for emergency vehicles On a transversely mounted over the vehicle roof continuous rail front several transparent colored elements are plugged in front and behind, which are fixed to each other by means of a circumferential, easy to put together tongue and groove connection.
- end cover By end cover a common interior is formed, in which the rotary headlights and especially the continuous gear drive are housed.
- integrally blown hollow body are known as signaling device. Also, this technology is inflexible and relatively expensive, because all openings edited later and additional connectors must be mounted on the hollow body.
- the housing according to the invention now consists of any number of linear juxtaposed body and front elements, as well as lids and end parts, the body elements via integrated tongue and groove joints at their ends with itself (with other body elements), as well as with the upper and lower lid with the same connection geometry are pushed together form-fitting and held together with connecting means and form the body, the front elements as well integrated via integrated tongue and groove connections at their ends with itself (with other front elements), and with the upper and lower end part with the same connection geometry form-fitting and with connecting means are held together and form the front, and body and front via an integrated tongue and groove joint to each other form-fitting pushed or -masked and held together by means of connecting means.
- a stiff hollow body is formed, which can be equipped with any attachments or openings.
- Fig. 1a shows the body and front elements of a simple housing before joining.
- the body element 1 has a substantially U-shaped cross-section. At its one end face, a circumferential rib, the so-called spring 2, can be seen on the inside. At the other end face a thickening 3 is present, which includes an outer circumferential groove, the groove 4.
- the surfaces of groove 4 and spring 2 and the direct connection surfaces are geometrically identical and oriented such that they can be demolded in the same direction as the body element 1 itself.
- the tongue and groove geometry as a base once on one side of the body element and on the other side of the associated mold, or vice versa.
- the upper cover 5 has the same connection geometry of the spring 2, the lower cover 6 that of the groove 4. Otherwise close the lid 5, 6, the U-shaped body elements 1 in any configuration to a stable body 10 from, as in Fig. 1b shown.
- the body edges 7, 7 ' lie in one plane.
- the interior 9 is continuously usable in its entirety.
- the thickening 3 in the groove / spring connections 4/2 also serve to stabilize the body. If the tongue and groove connections 4/2 have approximately the same wall thicknesses as the body element 1 and are kept compact, then the composite body 10 also has approximately the same strength and stability as a one-piece body or a profile housing, and is thus conventional glands statically far superior to single chambers.
- the front elements 11 are connected to each other via grooves 14 and springs 12. However, there is a difference in that the front elements form a groove 18 for receiving the body edge 7.
- the front elements 11 therefore have a short-legged U-shaped cross section with an outer edge 17, which engages over the outside over the body edge 7.
- the tongue and groove connections 14/12 run like the body element into the short legs.
- Fig. 1b shows body 10 and front 20 open faced and in assembly. It can be seen the groove 18 in the front, which has the same geometry as the body edge 7, 7 '. If the front 20 is now placed on the body 10, then the body edge 7, 7 'together with thickenings 3 fits exactly into the circumferential groove 18. A labyrinth seal is thus formed, into which a suitable sealing part or a sealing cord can be inserted as required ,
- the exact formation of the thickenings 3 in the inner web 19 also provides stability with respect to forces and displacements along the body walls. These occur when the housing is generally subjected to bending or torsion.
- cover and end parts can already contain half a chamber, so that in this configuration already a housing with a chamber results, without using body and front elements.
- the predetermined Entformungsraum allows favorable, simple ways such as attachment tabs 21 on the body or front or openings in the front elements or in the bottom of the body. Because of the simple demolding of the base geometry and complicated fittings or about inputs and outputs can be provided with threads or latches, without requiring too complicated molds.
- the cohesion of the parts can be ensured in many ways. When pressing and plugging together, you can glue together the body as well as the front elements. Here you also get an improved seal. If one looks at security screws or releasable snap connections, then one can Disassemble, extend or replace defective parts.
- Fig. 2 shows an inventive housing for a signal generator in the open state.
- Carcass and front elements 1, 11 are pushed together as before by means of tongue and groove 4/2, 14/12.
- the cohesion is secured here by snap hooks 22.
- screw holes 23 for connection possible. In particular, these are also intended for attachment of internals.
- covers 5, 6 and end parts 15, 16 have the same connection geometries.
- the labyrinth seal is not done here with the outer edge, it is for a separate inner circumferential ridge 8 available.
- the circumferential groove 18 is offset inwards in the front. Bridge 8 and groove 18 fit seamlessly into each other at each point.
- the outer surfaces 7a and 17a serve on the one hand the design of a flawless appearance, on the other hand they protect the labyrinth seal 8/18 from dirt and direct jet water access during cleaning.
- hidden Schnapplaschen 24 are mounted, which engage in closing the front in the front hook 25. Unlocking is accomplished by flexing these snap tabs 24 inwardly by means of a small plunger for which small apertures 26 are present. If the housing can not be opened, these openings are simply omitted.
- the gap 9a also serves to dissipate penetrated water.
- the labyrinth 8/18 is not straight, but is adapted to existing contours such as the mounting apertures 27 of the front and internals such as screw holes 23a and screw domes 28, which prevents displacement and significant shear, bending and torsional forces can be collected, as in signalers occur in a storm.
- Labyrinth web 8 and groove sidewalls are also held together at the part boundaries by means of positive labyrinthine overlaps 29, sealed and positioned exactly to each other, which can be pushed together as well as the outside running around tongue and groove joints.
- Top and bottom covers 5 and 6 also have a surrounding outer surface 7 'and are provided with relatively large openings 30 for passing cables or plugs.
- a concentric rotating ring gear 31 is used to adjust and fix the boom arms.
- the openings are sealed with a closure member 32, the bayonet 33 engages the associated teeth 34 and cable clamps 35 for strain relief, a cable entry 36 and a central thread 37 for the boom attachment, and at the edge of a labyrinth seal 38 which has a cylinder wall 39 engages around the lid opening.
- a seal can be inserted.
- the front elements have large openings 27 for receiving LED inserts. These are used from outside and fastened, like Fig. 3a shows.
- the upper and lower end portions 15 and 16 also have surrounding outer surfaces 17 'to form a closed outer contour, as well as for cladding there also Schnapplaschen 24th
- the edges of the outer surfaces of the body 7a, 7 'and front 17a and 17' form a plane.
- the screw holes of the front 23a and screw domes 28 end there. This makes it possible on the one hand, the front 20 alone to screw on a flat mounting surface from the rear, on the other hand, a flat plate can be clamped between the front and body, or the front are screwed onto a mounting surface from the rear.
- Fig. 3a shows a section through the assembled switch housing Fig. 2 with built-in LED insert.
- Front 20 and body 10 are on the outer surfaces 7a and 17a, and 7 'and 17' to each other.
- Schnapplaschen 24 which grip over the front hooks 25, and the inner labyrinth seal with relatively large overlap of web 8 and groove 18.
- the insert 41 is depressed by means of a retaining ring 42 with a U-shaped cross section on a bearing surface 43, which also has a groove 44 for receiving an optional sealing ring.
- Fig. 3b shows a section through the provided with a shield 40 and screwed housing Fig. 2 with built-in LED insert.
- This shield 40 improves the so-called contrast aperture the detectability of the signal against the sun. By pinching between body 10 and front 20 disturbing light gaps are avoided around the signal generator. Because the material thickness can vary greatly depending on the size of the sign, the body, shield and front are screwed directly together, even to defy high wind forces can, the snap-action latches 24 remain functionless.
- the screws 49 are with their domes 28 outside of the labyrinth seal, but the domes are integrated into the labyrinth and used to obtain a stable support against shear and torsional forces.
- the labyrinth 8/18 is less engaged by the wall thickness of the shield 40, but remains in the sealing effect.
- the shield 40 can also be seen as any planar mounting surface to which the front 20 is screwed from the back with or without body 10. This is also a so-called panel mounting the fronts given.
- the LED light can be integrated directly into the front element 11, because this savings on components are possible.
- a simple exchange must be done.
- the front elements 11 are then only plugged together, they reach like a roof shingle and can be snapped off from the top starting from the top until the defective part is reached. After replacing the overlying front elements are on the Carcass engaged. The body remains here along with wiring and internals mounted, an expansion is not necessary.
- fixtures and covers with adjustable degree of sealing as well as the selective use of connecting means such as pressing, mating, gluing, screws or snap connections
- connecting means such as pressing, mating, gluing, screws or snap connections
- the front can be opened in total, the front elements individually removable and snap back, or the housing is not open at all. It can of course be used for any other applications.
- applications with electronic components but also distributors of variable size, wet room and socket systems, container systems and the like.

Description
Bisher waren in der Verkehrsregelung Signalgeber eingesetzt, deren Lichter üblicher Weise aus einer Lampenfassung mit einer Glühlampe in einem Reflektor, sowie eventuell einem Trafo bestanden, wobei das Licht der Lampe gebündelt und durch eine Streuscheibe nach Vorgaben sinnvoll verteilt wurde, um den Sichtbarkeitsansprüchen des Verkehrs zu genügen. Diese Systeme sind in der Regel offen, was bedeutet, dass sie ein dichtes Gehäuse benötigen, um Feuchtigkeit, Schmutz und korrosive Stoffe von den empfindlichen optischen Flächen und den stromführenden Bauteilen fernzuhalten. Dabei muss das Gehäuse geöffnet werden können, um die Lampe zu wechseln.Previously, in the traffic control signalers were used, the lights usually consisted of a lamp holder with a light bulb in a reflector, and possibly a transformer, the light of the lamp was bundled and distributed sensibly by a lens to specifications to the visibility requirements of the traffic suffice. These systems are typically open, meaning that they require a sealed housing to keep moisture, dirt and corrosive substances away from the sensitive optical surfaces and the live components. The case must be able to be opened to change the lamp.
Hauptsächlich sind Baukastensysteme im Einsatz, bei denen der Signalgeber aus miteinander verbundenen Einzelgehäusen, den sogenannten Kammern besteht, die jeweils ein Licht enthalten. Jede Kammer ist vorne mit einem abgedichteten Deckel, der sogenannten Front verschlossen, in welche die Streulinse dicht eingesetzt ist, oder auch mehr Komponenten der Optik eingebaut sind. Aus solchen Elementen sind die bekannten Einzel, Zwei- und Dreifach-, gelegentlich auch Mehrkammer-Signalgeber zusammengesetzt.Mainly modular systems are in use, in which the signal generator consists of interconnected individual housings, the so-called chambers, each containing a light. Each chamber is closed at the front with a sealed lid, the so-called front, in which the stray lens is tightly inserted, or even more components of the optics are installed. From such elements, the known single, two and triple, sometimes multi-chamber signal generator are composed.
In den letzten Jahren wurden alternative Lichter mit Leuchtdioden, den sogenannten LED als Lichtquellen entwickelt, welche wegen der rasanten Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet mittlerweile die Mehrzahl neuer Signale stellen. Neben erheblich geringerem Stromverbrauch ist vor allem der Entfall der üblichen Wartung ein unschätzbarer Vorteil. Diese LED-Einsätze weisen durchwegs eine geringere Bautiefe auf und passen daher in die vorhandenen Aufnahmen der Signalgebergehäuse, wodurch ein einfacher Austausch gewährleistet ist. Sie unterscheiden sich jedoch von der konventionellen Optik durch eine in ihrem Inneren befindliche, unverzichtbare Ansteuer-Elektronik, weshalb schon sie selbst völlig abgedichtet sind.In recent years, alternative lights with LEDs, the so-called LED have been developed as light sources, which now provide the majority of new signals because of the rapid development in this field. In addition to significantly lower power consumption, especially the elimination of the usual maintenance is an invaluable advantage. These LED inserts consistently have a smaller overall depth and therefore fit into the existing recordings of the signal generator housing, whereby a simple replacement is guaranteed. However, they differ from the conventional optics by an indispensable control electronics located inside them, which is why they themselves are completely sealed.
Die Funktionalität der bisherigen Gehäuse wird damit teilweise in Frage gestellt, dafür treten neue Anforderungen in den Vordergrund. Unbestritten ist dabei die Forderung nach Kostensenkungen. Es kommen daher neue Gehäusebauformen auf den Markt, welche deutlich schlanker sind und eine eingeschränkte Funktionalität aufweisen, indem sie etwa nicht mehr zu öffnen oder wenig abgedichtet sind, und beispielsweise aus Profilen anstelle einzelner Kammern bestehen.The functionality of the previous housing is thus partially questioned, but new requirements come to the fore. Undisputed is the demand for cost reductions. There are therefore new types of housing on the market, which are much slimmer and have a limited functionality, for example, they are no longer open or little sealed, and for example consist of profiles instead of individual chambers.
Ein neues Gehäuse für Signalgeber sollte mit minimalem Materialaufwand herstellbar und modular aufgebaut sein. Die LED-Einsätze sollten bei einem Defekt von außen ausgewechselt werden können, ohne das Gehäuse zu öffnen. Es sollten große Öffnungen für die Zuführung der Kabel, aber auch zur Verwendung moderner Stecksysteme vorhanden sein, bei Weiterverwendung der vorhandenen Befestigungssysteme. Der Signalgeber soll rasch zusammengebaut werden können ohne zu schrauben und eine gefällige, glatte, reinigungsfreundliche Außenkontur aufweisen. Der Platz zwischen den LED-Einsätzen soll wie bei Profilgehäusen für weitere Einbauten wie etwa Sensoren oder Steuerplatinen nutzbar sein. Natürlich sind alle Anforderungen nach verschiedenen allgemeinen Vorschriften und Belastungen einzuhalten wie Sicherheit gegen Vandalismus, elektrischen Schlag, sowie Brandschutz und Windlast.A new housing for signalers should be produced with minimal material costs and modular. The LED inserts should be replaced in case of a defect from the outside without opening the case. There should be large openings for the supply of cables, but also for the use of modern plug systems, with further use of existing fastening systems. The signal generator should be able to be assembled quickly without screwing and have a pleasing, smooth, easy to clean outer contour. The space between the LED inserts should be usable as for profile housings for other installations such as sensors or control boards. Of course, all requirements must be met according to various general regulations and loads, such as safety against vandalism, electric shock, as well as fire protection and wind load.
Die
Bisher bekannte Ausführungen erfüllen nur einen Teil der neuen Anforderungen. So zeigt etwa die
Nachteilig ist der Aufwand des Durchschleifens der elektrischen Verbindungen, fehlende Nutzungsmöglichkeit der Zwischenräume, und der Aufwand, jeweils geschlossene Kammern herzustellen.A disadvantage is the effort of looping through the electrical connections, lack of use of the spaces, and the effort to produce each closed chambers.
Nachteilig ist der Aufwand des Durchfädelns der Verkabelung, das völlige Zerlegen beim Tausch einer Kammer, oder die fehlende Nutzungsmöglichkeit der Zwischenräume.A disadvantage is the effort of threading through the wiring, the complete disassembly when replacing a chamber, or the lack of use of the spaces.
Nachteilig ist der zusätzliche Aufwand der Rohr-Integration, sowie die gleichen oben angeführten Punkte.The disadvantage is the additional expense of the tube integration, as well as the same points mentioned above.
Nachteilig für die Anwendung in einem Signalgeber erscheint die durchgehende Profilschiene, da sie auf ein bestimmtes Maß abgelängt wird und später nicht mehr variabel ist. Auch das aufgesetzte und die Elemente oben zusammenhaltende Abschlussprofil hat eine vorbestimmte Länge.A disadvantage for the application in a signal generator, the continuous rail, since it is cut to a certain extent and is no longer variable later. Also, the patch and the top elements together holding the end profile has a predetermined length.
Das gleiche Problem haben nicht in der Patentliteratur vorhandene Signalgeber, die ein Gehäuseprofil beinhalten. Die Fronten mit den Ausnehmungen für die LED-Einsätze werden in das durchgängige Gehäuseprofil eingeschoben oder eingerastet und durch Abschlussdeckel fixiert. Während so ein durchgängiger Innenraum entsteht, kann durch die Frontöffnungen verkabelt und der Einbau von Komponenten vorgenommen werden.The same problem does not exist in the patent literature existing signal encoders, which include a housing profile. The fronts with the recesses for the LED inserts are inserted or latched into the continuous housing profile and fixed by end caps. While such a continuous interior arises, can be wired through the front openings and the installation of components are made.
Nachteilig sind aber vor allem die relativ hohen Kosten für Alu- oder Kunststoffprofile in den relativ großen Dimensionen der Gehäuse-Querschnitte.However, the disadvantages are, above all, the relatively high costs for aluminum or plastic profiles in the relatively large dimensions of the housing cross-sections.
Weiters sind auch einstückig geblasene Hohlkörper als Signalgebergehäuse bekannt. Auch diese Technologie ist unflexibel und relativ teuer, weil alle Öffnungen nachträglich bearbeitet und zusätzliche Anschlussteile auf dem Hohlkörper befestigt werden müssen.Furthermore, integrally blown hollow body are known as signaling device. Also, this technology is inflexible and relatively expensive, because all openings edited later and additional connectors must be mounted on the hollow body.
Die Stabilität insgesamt ist allerdings sehr gut.Overall, the stability is very good.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein modulares Gehäuse, insbesondere für LED-Signalgeber, zu schaffen, das die genannten Nachteile nicht aufweist und insbesondere flexibel in seinem Aufbau, einfach zusammenzubauen dabei mechanisch stabil und kostengünstig herzustellen ist. Es soll auch nach erfolgtem Zusammenbau ohne großen Aufwand geänderten Bedingungen anzupassen sein und verschiedene Montagearten an vorgegebenen Tragekonstruktionen erlauben.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a modular housing, in particular for LED signal generator, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and in particular flexible in its structure, easy to assemble while mechanically stable and inexpensive to manufacture. It should also be adapted to completed conditions without much effort changed conditions and allow different types of installation to predetermined support structures.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse besteht nun aus einer beliebigen Anzahl linear aneinandergereihter Korpus- und Frontelemente, sowie Deckeln und Abschlussteilen, wobei die Korpuselemente über integrierte Nut/Federverbindungen an ihren Enden mit sich selbst (mit weiteren Korpuselementen), wie auch mit dem oberen und unteren Deckel mit gleicher Anschlussgeometrie formschlüssig ineinandergeschoben und mit Verbindungsmitteln zusammengehalten sind und den Korpus bilden, die Frontelemente ebenso über integrierte Nut/Federverbindungen an ihren Enden mit sich selbst (mit weiteren Frontelementen), und auch mit dem oberen und unteren Abschlussteil mit gleicher Anschlussgeometrie formschlüssig ineinandergeschoben und mit Verbindungsmitteln zusammengehalten sind und die Front bilden, und Korpus und Front über eine integrierte Nut/Federverbindung zueinander formschlüssig ineinandergeschoben bzw. -gesteckt und mittels Verbindungsmitteln zusammengehalten sind. So wird ein steifer Hohlkörper gebildet, der beliebig mit Befestigungen oder Öffnungen ausgestattet sein kann.The housing according to the invention now consists of any number of linear juxtaposed body and front elements, as well as lids and end parts, the body elements via integrated tongue and groove joints at their ends with itself (with other body elements), as well as with the upper and lower lid with the same connection geometry are pushed together form-fitting and held together with connecting means and form the body, the front elements as well integrated via integrated tongue and groove connections at their ends with itself (with other front elements), and with the upper and lower end part with the same connection geometry form-fitting and with connecting means are held together and form the front, and body and front via an integrated tongue and groove joint to each other form-fitting pushed or -masked and held together by means of connecting means. Thus, a stiff hollow body is formed, which can be equipped with any attachments or openings.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnungen genauer beschrieben. Es zeigt

Der Innenraum 9 ist durchgehend in seiner Gesamtheit nutzbar. Die Verdickungen 3 im Bereich der Nut/Federverbindungen 4/2 dienen auch der Stabilisierung des Korpus. Wenn die Nut/Federverbindungen 4/2 etwa gleiche Wandstärken aufweisen wie das Korpuselement 1 und kompakt gehalten werden, dann weist der zusammengesetzte Korpus 10 auch etwa die gleiche Festigkeit und Stabilität auf wie ein einteilig gefertigter Korpus oder ein Profilgehäuse, und ist damit bisher üblichen Verschraubungen einzelner Kammern statisch weit überlegen.The
Nach dem gleichen Prinzip werden die Frontelemente 11 miteinander über Nuten 14 und Federn 12 verbunden. Jedoch besteht ein Unterschied darin, dass die Frontelemente eine Nut 18 für die Aufnahme des Korpusrandes 7 bilden. Die Frontelemente 11 weisen daher einen kurzschenkeligen U-Querschnitt mit einem Außenrand 17 auf, der außen über den Korpusrand 7 drübergreift. Die Nut/Federverbindungen 14/12 laufen wie beim Korpuselement bis in die kurzen Schenkel.According to the same principle, the
Innerhalb des Korpusrandes 7 verläuft zusätzlich ein Innensteg 19, der passgenau dessen Innenkontur folgt, insbesonders auch dem Umriss der Verdickungen 3. Auch er weist eine Nut-Federverbindung 14a/12a an den Teilgrenzen auf, welche Kraft- und Formschluss herstellt.Within the
Auch hier weist der obere Abschlussteil 15 die gleiche Anschlussgeometrie der Feder 12 und der untere Abschlussteil 16 die gleiche Anschlussgeometrie der umlaufenden Nut 14 auf. Der Innensteg 19' läuft auch hier im Abstand der Dicke des Deckelrandes 7' um. Es ergibt sich nach dem Fügen eine Front 20 mit ausgezeichneter Steifigkeit.Again, the
Die exakte Einformung der Verdickungen 3 in den Innensteg 19 ergibt auch eine Stabilität bezüglich Kräften und Verschiebungen längs der Korpuswände. Diese treten auf, wenn das Gehäuse insgesamt auf Biegung oder Torsion belastet wird.The exact formation of the
Es können beliebig viele, natürlich auch unterschiedlich lange und unterschiedlich gestaltete Korpus- und Frontelemente kombiniert werden, solange die mechanische Stabilität ausreichend ist. Es können aber auch wegen der identischen Anschlussmaße Deckel und Abschlussteile direkt ohne Korpus- und Frontelemente zusammengesteckt werden, so erhält man ein kürzest mögliches Gehäuse.It can be combined as many, of course, different lengths and differently shaped carcass and front elements, as long as the mechanical stability is sufficient. But it can also be because of the identical connection dimensions lid and end parts directly without body and front elements are put together, so you get a shortest possible housing.
Insbesonders können Deckel- und Abschlussteile bereits eine halbe Kammer beinhalten, sodass sich in dieser Konfiguration bereits ein Gehäuse mit einer Kammer ergibt, ohne Korpus- und Frontelemente zu verwenden.In particular, cover and end parts can already contain half a chamber, so that in this configuration already a housing with a chamber results, without using body and front elements.
Alle Bauteile können Befestigungen oder Öffnungen aufweisen. Die vorgegebene Entformungsrichtung erlaubt günstige, einfache Möglichkeiten wie etwa Befestigungslaschen 21 an Korpus oder Front oder Öffnungen in den Frontelementen oder im Boden des Korpus. Wegen der einfachen Entformung der Basis-Geometrie können auch komplizierte Befestigungen oder etwa Ein- und Auslässe mit Gewinden oder Verrastungen vorgesehen werden, ohne allzu komplizierte Gussformen zu benötigen.All components may have fasteners or openings. The predetermined Entformungsrichtung allows favorable, simple ways such as
Der Zusammenhalt der Teile kann auf viele Arten gewährleistet werden. Beim Verpressen und Zusammenstecken kann man etwa die Korpus-, wie auch die Frontelemente untereinander verkleben. Hierbei erhält man auch eine verbesserte Abdichtung. Sieht man Sicherungsschrauben oder lösbare Schnappverbindungen vor, dann kann auch ein Zerlegen, Erweitern oder ein Austausch von defekten Teilen erfolgen.The cohesion of the parts can be ensured in many ways. When pressing and plugging together, you can glue together the body as well as the front elements. Here you also get an improved seal. If one looks at security screws or releasable snap connections, then one can Disassemble, extend or replace defective parts.
Ebenso kann man den Zusammenhalt zwischen Korpus und Front vielfältig gestalten, etwa ebenso durch Schrauben oder integrierte Schnappverbindungen, aber auch durch Spanner, Federklammern oder Schlösser. Hier ist vor allem die Nutzungsweise ausschlaggebend. Auch ein Verkleben oder Zusammenschnappen ohne Möglichkeit des nochmaligen Öffnens ist eine Option.Likewise, one can make the cohesion between body and front diverse, as well as by screws or integrated snap connections, but also by tensioner, spring clips or locks. Here, above all, the mode of use is decisive. Even gluing or snapping together without the possibility of reopening is an option.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind viele Modifikationen der Basis-Gehäuseform möglich.
Korpus- und Frontelemente 1, 11 sind wie zuvor mittels Nut/Federverbindungen 4/2, 14/12 zusammengeschoben. Der Zusammenhalt wird hier durch Schnapphaken 22 gesichert. Es sind aber auch Schraublöcher 23 zur Verbindung möglich. Insbesonders sind diese aber auch zur Befestigung von Einbauten vorgesehen. Ebenso haben Deckel 5, 6 und Abschlussteile 15, 16 gleiche Anschlussgeometrien.Carcass and
Die Labyrinth-Dichtung erfolgt hier nicht mit dem Außenrand, es ist dafür ein eigener innen umlaufender Steg 8 vorhanden. Ebenso ist in der Front die umlaufende Nut 18 nach innen versetzt. Steg 8 und Nut 18 passen an jeder Stelle lückenlos ineinander. Die Außenflächen 7a und 17a dienen einerseits der Gestaltung eines einwandfreien Erscheinungsbildes, andererseits schützen sie die Labyrinth-Dichtung 8/18 vor Schmutz und direktem Strahlwasserzutritt beim Reinigen. Weiters sind im Zwischenraum 9a verdeckte Schnapplaschen 24 angebracht, die beim Schließen der Front in deren Fronthaken 25 einrasten. Das Entriegeln erfolgt durch Ausbiegen dieser Schnapplaschen 24 nach innen mittels eines kleinen Stößels, für den kleine Öffnungen 26 vorhanden sind. Soll das Gehäuse nicht mehr geöffnet werden können, so werden diese Öffnungen einfach weggelassen. Und schließlich dient der Zwischenraum 9a auch zur Ableitung von eingedrungenem Wasser.The labyrinth seal is not done here with the outer edge, it is for a separate inner
Das Labyrinth 8/18 verläuft nicht gerade, sondern ist an vorhandene Umrisse wie die Einbauöffnungen 27 der Front und Einbauten wie Schraubenlöcher 23a und Schraubdome 28 angepasst, wodurch Verschiebungen verhindert und erhebliche Schub-, Biege- und Torsionskräfte aufgefangen werden können, wie sie an Signalgebern bei Sturm auftreten. Labyrinth-Steg 8 und Nut-Seitenwände sind an den Teilgrenzen ebenfalls mittels formschlüssigen labyrinthartigen Überlappungen 29 zusammengehalten, abgedichtet und genau zueinander positioniert, welche ebenso ineinandergeschoben werden können wie die außen herum laufenden Nut/Federverbindungen.The
Oberer und unterer Deckel 5 und 6 weisen ebenfalls eine umgebende Außenfläche 7' auf und sind mit relativ großen Öffnungen 30 zum Durchführen von Kabeln oder Steckern versehen. Ein konzentrisch umlaufender Zahnkranz 31 dient zur Justierung und Fixierung der Auslegerarme. Die Öffnungen werden mit einem Verschlussteil 32 abgedichtet, dessen Bajonett 33 in die zugehörigen Zähne 34 eingreift und welches Kabelklemmen 35 zur Zugentlastung, eine Kabeleinführung 36 und ein zentrales Gewinde 37 für die Auslegerbefestigung, sowie randseitig eine Labyrinth-Dichtung 38 aufweist, welche über eine Zylinderwand 39 rund um die Deckelöffnung greift. Optional kann auch eine Dichtung eingelegt werden.Top and bottom covers 5 and 6 also have a surrounding outer surface 7 'and are provided with relatively
Die Frontelemente weisen große Öffnungen 27 zur Aufnahme von LED-Einsätzen auf. Diese werden von außen eingesetzt und befestigt, wie
Der obere und untere Abschlussteil 15 und 16 besitzt ebenfalls umgebende Außenflächen 17' zur Bildung einer geschlossenen Außenkontur, wie auch zur Verkleidung der dort ebenfalls vorhandenen Schnapplaschen 24.The upper and
Die Kanten der Außenflächen von Korpus 7a, 7' und Front 17a und 17' bilden eine Ebene. Auch die Schraubenlöcher der Front 23a und Schraubdome 28 enden dort. Hierdurch ist es einerseits möglich, die Front 20 allein auf eine ebene Montagefläche von hinten anzuschrauben, andererseits kann zwischen Front und Korpus eine ebene Platte eingespannt werden, oder die Front auf einer Montagefläche von hinten angeschraubt werden.The edges of the outer surfaces of the
Weiters ist die Befestigung eines Sonnenschirms 50 im Spalt 51 zwischen der Front 20 und dem Haltering 42 dargestellt. Zwischen den Schnapplaschen 46 für den Haltering 42 befinden sich rund um die Frontöffnung 27 Schnapphaken 52, die in Löcher 53 eines in den Spalt 51 eingesteckten Sonnenschirms 50 einhaken und diesen festhalten. Sie können durch Ausnehmungen 54 im Haltering 42 ausgerastet werden.Furthermore, the attachment of a
Das Schild 40 kann auch als eine beliebige ebene Befestigungsfläche gesehen werden, an welche die Front 20 von hinten mit oder auch ohne Korpus 10 angeschraubt wird. Damit ist auch ein sogenannter Schalttafeleinbau der Fronten gegeben.The
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das LED-Licht direkt in das Frontelement 11 integriert sein, weil hierdurch Einsparungen an Bauteilen möglich sind. Jedoch muss dann ein einfacher Austausch erfolgen können. Die Frontelemente 11 sind dann nur zusammengesteckt, sie greifen dachschindelartig übereinander und können von oben beginnend vom Korpus weg ausgerastet werden, bis das fehlerhafte Teil erreicht ist. Nach dem Auswechseln werden auch die darüber liegenden Frontelemente wieder auf den Korpus eingerastet. Der Korpus bleibt dabei samt Verkabelung und Einbauten montiert, ein Ausbau ist nicht nötig.In a further embodiment of the invention, the LED light can be integrated directly into the
Es muss keineswegs eine zusammenhängende Front und ein zusammenhängender Korpus gebildet werden, welche dann als Ganzes zusammengeschnappt werden, es reichen etwa Schnappverbindungen nur zwischen Korpus und Front völlig aus für den sicheren Zusammenhalt des Gehäuses. Man beginnt beim Zusammenbau mit dem Zusammenschnappen des unteren Deckels 6 mit dem unteren Abschlussteil 16 und schiebt Korpus- und Frontelemente 1, 11 ein, die miteinander verrasten. Mit dem Einschieben des oberen Deckels 5 und dem oberem Abschlussteil 15 und Zusammenrasten wird das Gehäuse abgeschlossen und auch voll trag- und belastungsfähig.It must by no means be a coherent front and a coherent body are formed, which are then snapped together as a whole, it is enough about snap connections only between the body and front completely for the secure cohesion of the housing. When assembling with the snapping together of the
Diese Beispiele für Einbauten und Abdeckungen mit einstellbarem Abdichtungsgrad, sowie die selektive Verwendung von Verbindungsmitteln wie Verpressen, Zusammenstecken, Kleben, Schrauben oder Schnappverbindungen illustrieren die vielseitigen Einsatz- und Variationsmöglichkeiten des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses, wobei beispielsweise die Front insgesamt geöffnet werden kann, die Frontelemente einzeln abnehmbar und wieder aufschnappbar sind, oder das Gehäuse gar nicht mehr zu öffnen ist. Es kann natürlich auch für beliebige andere Einsatzfälle verwendet werden. Hier bieten sich vor allem Anwendungen mit elektronischen Komponenten an, aber auch Verteiler variabler Größe, Feuchtraum- und Steckdosensysteme, Behältersysteme und ähnliches.These examples of fixtures and covers with adjustable degree of sealing, as well as the selective use of connecting means such as pressing, mating, gluing, screws or snap connections illustrate the versatility and versatility of the housing according to the invention, for example, the front can be opened in total, the front elements individually removable and snap back, or the housing is not open at all. It can of course be used for any other applications. Here are mainly applications with electronic components, but also distributors of variable size, wet room and socket systems, container systems and the like.
