Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einbauleuchte mit einem viereckigen Gehäuse, das eine frontseitige Öffnung sowie paarweise parallele Seitenwände und Stirnwände und eine daran befestigte Rückwand aufweist und das als Leuchtmittel längliche Leuchtkörper mit den zugehörigen Halteeinrichtungen und ein Vorschaltgerät enthält, wobei das Vorschaltgerät derart federnd beweglich an einem Trägerelement im Gehäuse gelagert ist, dass wenigstens eine Außenseite seines Gehäuseblocks bzw. die sich erwärmenden Bauteile des Vorschaltgerätes mit wenigstens einer Kühlfläche wärmeleitend an einer Außenwand oder an der Rückwand des Gehäuses anliegt bzw. anliegen, wobei die frontseitige Öffnung des Gehäuses durch eine Durchlichtscheibe aus Glas oder Acrylglas dicht verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a recessed luminaire with a square housing, which has a front opening and pairwise parallel side walls and end walls and a rear wall attached thereto and which contains as light bulbs elongated filament with the associated holding means and a ballast, the ballast so resiliently movable on a support element is stored in the housing that at least one outer side of its housing block or the heating components of the ballast with at least one cooling surface is thermally conductive on an outer wall or on the rear wall of the housing or abut, wherein the front opening of the housing through a glass transparency plate or Acrylic glass is tightly closed.

Aus DE 202 12 411 U1 ist eine Einbauleuchte der oben genannten Art bekannt, bei der die paarweise parallelen Längswände und die Stirnwände des Gehäuses jeweils aus separaten stranggepressten Wandprofilen bestehen, die durch eine angeschraubte Rückwand miteinander verbunden sind. An den Ecken des Gehäuses sind die Längs- und Stirnwände jeweils auf Gehrung geschnitten, damit sie spaltfrei zusammengefügt werden können. Die Rückwand, auf welcher die Leuchtmittel und das als in einem Metallmantel vergossener Block ausgebildete Vorschaltgerät befestigt sind, besteht aus einem Blechteil, das von außen an die Längs- und Stirnwände angeschraubt ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Wandprofile rückseitig mit Schraubkanälen versehen. Dabei ist das Vorschaltgerät mit seiner sich gewöhnlich nur schwach erwärmenden Unterseite meistens unter Zwischenlage einer Dämmplatte auf die Rückwand aufgeschraubt. Eine wirksame Wärmeableitung über die Rückwand findet daher kaum statt.Out DE 202 12 411 U1 is a recessed luminaire of the type mentioned above, in which the pairwise parallel longitudinal walls and the end walls of the housing each consist of separate extruded wall profiles, which are interconnected by a bolted back wall. At the corners of the housing, the longitudinal and end walls are each mitred so that they can be joined together without a gap. The back wall, on which the bulbs and as in a metal shell molded block formed ballast, consists of a sheet metal part which is screwed from the outside to the longitudinal and end walls. For this purpose, the wall profiles are provided on the back with screw channels. The ballast is usually screwed with its usually only slightly warming bottom with the interposition of an insulating board on the back wall. Effective heat dissipation via the back wall therefore hardly takes place.

Innerhalb der Durchlichtscheibe ist im Gehäuse ein Lichtleit- oder Blendschutzgitter angeordnet, das auf Stützrippen der Gehäusewände aufsitzt.Within the transparency, a light guide or anti-glare screen is arranged in the housing, which rests on support ribs of the housing walls.

Bei dieser Einbauleuchte ist das Zuschneiden der Gehäusewände auf Gehrung sehr zeitaufwändig und somit kostenträchtig. Auch das Abdichten der Stoßfugen ist problematisch.With this recessed luminaire, the cutting of the housing walls mitred is very time-consuming and thus costly. Also, the sealing of the joints is problematic.

Die die frontseitige Öffnung des Gehäuses abdeckende Durchlichtscheibe ist mittels eines zusammenhängend umlaufenden Klebstoffbettes auf den Glasträgerleisten befestigt.The translucent lens covering the front opening of the housing is fastened to the glass carrier strips by means of a contiguous adhesive bed.

Solche Einbauleuchten werden gewöhnlich in Werkzeugmaschinen eingebaut, die in einer Gehäusewand, in welcher die Einbauleuchte befestigt werden soll, eine entsprechende rechteckige Einbauöffnung aufweisen.Such recessed lights are usually installed in machine tools, which have in a housing wall in which the recessed light is to be attached, a corresponding rectangular mounting hole.

In Werkzeugmaschinen, die spanabhebende Arbeiten verrichten, kommen die Frontseiten der Einbauleuchten in der Regel mit chemisch aggressiven Kühl- und Schmierstoffen in Berührung. Es ist deshalb unerlässlich, das gesamte Gehäuse hermetisch abzudichten, damit keine aggressiven Gase und/oder Flüssigkeiten in das Gehäuseinnere eindringen können. Weil auch die derzeit zur Verfügung stehenden Klebstoffe, die zur Befestigung der Durchlichtscheibe auf den Glasträgerleisten benutzt werden, nicht ausreichend gegen die aggressiven Kühl- und Schmierstoffe resistent sind, ist es auch erforderlich, das Klebstoffbett, das zwischen der Durchlichtscheibe und den Glasträgerleisten angeordnet ist, davor zu schützen, mit den aggressiven Kühl- und Schmiermitteln bzw. von diesen ausgehenden Gasen in Berührung zu kommen.In machine tools, which do the cutting work, the front sides of the recessed luminaires usually come into contact with chemically aggressive coolants and lubricants. It is therefore essential to hermetically seal the entire housing, so that no aggressive gases and / or liquids can penetrate into the housing interior. Because the currently available adhesives used to attach the translucent lens to the glass support bars are not sufficiently resistant to the aggressive coolants and lubricants, it is also necessary to use the adhesive bed disposed between the translucent glass and the glass support bars. protect against contact with the aggressive coolants, lubricants or gases emitted by them.

Aus der US-A-5 136 493 eine als Straßenleuchte ausgebildete Beleuchtungseinrichtung bekannt, welche ein im Wesentlichen viereckiges mit einer frontseitigen Öffnung versehenes Gehäuse aus Metall mit paarweise parallelen Gehäusewänden aufweist. Im Gehäuse sind das Leuchtmittel mit seinen Halteeinrichtungen sowie ein Vorschaltgerät aufgenommen. Das Gehäuse ist auch hier durch einzelne zusammengefügte Blechtafeln gebildet, so dass sich auch hier die oben genanten Nachteile ergeben. Um die von den Vorschalteinrichtungen entwickelte Wärme an die Umgebung abführen zu können, sind die Vorschalteinrichtungen an einem winkelartigen Träger befestigt, der federnd und Wärme übertragend mit einer Außenwand des Gehäuses in Berührung steht. Im Übrigen ist diese bekannte Straßenleuchte nicht als Einbauleuchte einsetzbar, insbesondere treten bei Straßenleuchten der bekannten Art keine Dichtungsprobleme der oben beschriebenen Art auf.From the US-A-5,136,493 a designed as a street lighting device is known, which has a substantially square housing provided with a front opening of metal with pairwise parallel housing walls. In the case of the bulb with its holding devices and a ballast are added. The housing is also formed here by individual assembled metal sheets, so that here also give the above-mentioned disadvantages. In order to be able to dissipate the heat developed by the Vorschalteinrichtungen to the environment, the ballasts are attached to an angle-like support which is resiliently and heat-transmitting with an outer wall of the housing in contact. Incidentally, this known street lamp can not be used as a recessed light, in particular occur in street lights of the known type no sealing problems of the type described above.

Letzteres gilt auch für die Industrieleuchte der US 2007/0030682 A1 . Diese Industrieleuchte weist ein separates Vorschaltgehäuse auf, in welchem die Vorschalteinrichtungen separat untergebracht sind. Auch hier sind Federelemente vorgesehen, über welche der Träger der Vorschalteinrichtungen gegen eine Außenwand des Vorschaltgehäuse zum Zwecke der kühlenden Wärmeabfuhr gedrückt wird. An das Vorschaltgehäuse ist ein topfförmiger Reflektor mit einem entsprechenden Leuchtmittel adaptiert. Hierbei ist ohne weiteres zu erkennen, dass die topfförmig ausgebildete Industrieleuchte nicht in einen quaderförmigen, engen Hohlraum einer industriellen Bearbeitungsmaschine passt, also für diesen Zweck völlig ungeeignet ist.The latter also applies to the industrial luminaire of US 2007/0030682 A1 , This industrial luminaire has a separate ballast housing, in which the Vorschalteinrichtungen are accommodated separately. Again, spring elements are provided, via which the carrier of the ballast is pressed against an outer wall of the ballast housing for the purpose of cooling heat dissipation. To the ballast housing a cup-shaped reflector is adapted with a corresponding light source. It is readily apparent that the cup-shaped industrial light does not fit in a cuboid, narrow cavity of an industrial processing machine, so it is completely unsuitable for this purpose.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach und kostengünstig herstellbare Einbauleuchte der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher die Gehäuseteile sowohl bei der Erstmontage als auch bei nachträglichen Reparaturen auf einfache Weise mittels einfacher Dichtungsmittel zu einem allseits zuverlässig wasserdichten Gehäuse zusammengefügt werden können und bei der die Entstehung eines durch elektrische Baugruppen des Vorschaltgerätes verursachten Wärmestaus innerhalb des Gehäuses zumindest weitgehend verhindert werden.The invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive to produce recessed light of the type mentioned, in which the housing parts can be assembled both at the initial assembly and subsequent repairs in a simple way by means of simple sealant to a reliable waterproof housing on all sides and at the formation of a caused by electrical components of the ballast heat accumulation within the housing are at least largely prevented.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass das Gehäuse zum Einbau in industrielle und/oder stationäre Bearbeitungsmaschinen aus einem die Seitenwände und die Rückwand bildenden Strangpresskörper besteht und, dass ein flacher, seitlich nach außen vorspringender Anlegerahmen vorgesehen ist, innerhalb welchem die Durchlichtscheibe angeordnet ist und, dass die Bauteile des Vorschaltgerätes wasser- und gasdicht gekapselt in einem Gehäuseblock oder offen einseitig auf einer Leiterplatte angeordnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the housing for installation in industrial and / or stationary processing machines consists of an extrusion forming the side walls and the rear wall and that a flat, laterally outwardly projecting support frame is provided, within which the transparency plate is arranged and in that the components of the ballast are encapsulated in a water-tight and gas-tight enclosure in a housing block or open on one side of a printed circuit board.

Während es bei der bekannten Einbauleuchte nach der DE 202 12 411 U1 erforderlich ist, die Seitenwände von dem Strangpresskörper jeweils separat mit Gehrung auf Länge zu schneiden und die Rückwand separat herzustellen, kann bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung des Gehäuses der gesamte Gehäusekörper, bestehend aus den beiden Seitenwänden und der Rückwand, jeweils in einem Arbeitsgang auf die jeweils benötigte Länge geschnitten werden. Dabei besteht ein weiterer Vorteil darin, dass beim Abschneiden des Gehäusekörpers von dem Strangpresskörper planebene Stirnflächen entstehen, an denen die Stirnwände und das Zwischenlager von Dichtungsmitteln, die aus geeignetem Flachmaterial bestehen können, auf einfache Weise, z. B. durch Schrauben, dicht angebracht werden können.While it is in the known recessed light after the DE 202 12 411 U1 It is necessary to cut the side walls of the extruded body separately with miter to length and produce the rear wall separately, in the inventive design of the housing, the entire housing body, consisting of the two side walls and the rear wall, each in a single operation on the respectively required Length to be cut. In this case, there is a further advantage that when cutting the housing body of the extruded body flat end surfaces arise at which the end walls and the intermediate storage of sealing means, which may consist of suitable flat material, in a simple manner, for. B. by screws, can be tightly attached.

Durch die besondere Anordnung der Leuchtmittel und des Vorschaltgerätes auf einer Montageplatte ist nicht nur deren Einbringung in den Gehäusekörper auf sehr einfache Weise und kostengünstig zu bewerkstelligen, sondern es ist auch möglich, das Vorschaltgerät so mit einer Gehäusewand in wärmeleitenden Kontakt zu bringen, dass keine Wärmestaus entstehen können. Selbstverständlich ist dies nicht nur mit Vorschaltgeräten möglich, die als vergossener Block mit einem Metallmantel zur Verfügung stehen, vielmehr auch mit solchen Vorschaltgeräten, bei denen die elektrischen bzw. elektronischen Bauteile auf einer Leiterplatte quasi freistehend angeordnet sind.Due to the special arrangement of the lamps and the ballast on a mounting plate not only their contribution to the housing body in a very simple and inexpensive to do, but it is also possible to bring the ballast so with a housing wall in heat-conducting contact that no heat accumulation can arise. Of course, this is not only possible with ballasts that are available as a molded block with a metal shell, but also with such ballasts, in which the electrical or electronic components are arranged virtually free-standing on a circuit board.

Die in den Zeichnungsfiguren 1 bis 19 in ihren Einzelteilen dargestellte Einbauleuchte besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem quaderförmigen Gehäuse 1 mit einem umlaufenden, nach außen vorspringenden Anlegerahmen 2.The recessed luminaire shown in its individual parts in the drawing figures 1 to 19 essentially consists of a cuboid housing 1 with a circumferential, outwardly projecting support frame. 2

In diesem Gehäuse 1 befindet sich unter einer Durchlichtscheibe 3, die eine frontseitige Öffnung 4 abdeckt, ein Blendschutzgitter 5. Unter bzw. hinter dem Blendschutzgitter 5 befindet sich auf einer Montageplatte 6 das Leuchtmittel 7, das aus zwei parallelen Leuchtstoffröhren 8 und 9 besteht. Parallel neben dem Leuchtmittel 7 ist ein Vorschaltgerät 10 in Form eines vergossenen Blocks angeordnet. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 18 besteht das Vorschaltgerät 10' aus einer Leiterplatte 11, auf der mehrere elektronische bzw. elektrische Bauteile 12, 13 und 14 sowie ein Anschlussblock 15 angeordnet sind. Dabei sind die Vorschaltgeräte 10 und 10' jeweils an einer rechtwinklig aus der Ebene der Montageplatte 6 nach oben gebogenen Trägerwand 16 befestigt.In this housing 1 is under a translucent lens 3, which covers a front opening 4, a glare guard 5. Below or behind the anti-glare 5 is located on a mounting plate 6, the light source 7, which consists of two parallel fluorescent tubes 8 and 9. Parallel to the lamp 7, a ballast 10 is arranged in the form of a molded block. In the embodiment according to Fig. 18 the ballast 10 'consists of a printed circuit board 11, on which a plurality of electronic or electrical components 12, 13 and 14 and a terminal block 15 are arranged. In this case, the ballasts 10 and 10 'are each secured to a perpendicular from the plane of the mounting plate 6 bent upward support wall 16.

Wie nachstehend noch näher erläutert wird, erfolgt diese Befestigung der Vorschaltgeräte 10 bzw. 10' an der Trägerwand 16 auf besondere Weise.As will be explained in more detail below, this attachment of the ballasts 10 and 10 'on the support wall 16 in a special way.

Das Gehäuse 1 ist gebildet aus einem Strangpresskörper 1', der die Seitenwände 20 und 21 mit den Randleisten 17, 18 sowie die Rückwand 22 umfasst. Die Randleisten 17, 18 bilden die längsseitigen Teile des Anlegerahmens 2 des fertigen Gehäuses 1. Die Enden dieses Strangpresskörpers 1' werden jeweils mit Stirnwänden 23 und 24 versehen, die jeweils unter Zwischenlage von Dichtungsplatten 25 dichtend mittels Schrauben 19 an den planebenen geschnittenen Stirnflächen 26 bzw. 27 des Strangpresskörpers 1' anliegen.The housing 1 is formed from an extruded body 1 ', which includes the side walls 20 and 21 with the edge strips 17, 18 and the rear wall 22. The edge strips 17, 18 form the longitudinal parts of the support frame 2 of the finished housing 1. The ends of this extruded body 1 'are each provided with end walls 23 and 24, each with the interposition of sealing plates 25 sealingly cut by means of screws 19 to the flat plane End faces 26 and 27 of the extruded body 1 'rest.

In der Nähe der Rückwand 22 sind die beiden Seitenwände 20 und 21 jeweils mit längs verlaufenden, sich in gleicher Höhe parallel gegenüberliegenden Führungsnuten 28 und 29 versehen, in welche die Montageplatte 6 von einer offenen Stirnseite her eingeschoben werden kann, nachdem diese mit den Leuchtmitteln 7 und dem Vorschaltgerät 10 bzw. 10' sowie mit einem Steckerblock 30 bestückt worden ist.In the vicinity of the rear wall 22, the two side walls 20 and 21 are each provided with longitudinally extending, equal in height parallel guide grooves 28 and 29, in which the mounting plate 6 can be inserted from an open end side, after this with the bulbs. 7 and the ballast 10 or 10 'and has been equipped with a connector block 30.

Zur Aufnahme der Durchlichtscheibe 3 sind die beiden Seitenwände 20 und 21 in der Nähe ihrer Ober- bzw. Frontkanten jeweils innenseitig mit längs verlaufenden Glasträgerleisten 31 und 32 versehen, die einstückig mit diesen verbunden, d.h. einstückiger Bestandteil des Strangpresskörpers 1' sind. Diese Glasträgerleisten sind in gleichem Abstand von der.Rückwand 22 in Parallellage zueinander angeordnet.For receiving the translucent lens 3, the two side walls 20 and 21 are respectively provided in the vicinity of their upper and front edges with longitudinally extending glass support strips 31 and 32, which are integrally connected thereto, i. integral part of the extruded body 1 'are. These glass carrier strips are arranged at the same distance from der.Rückwand 22 in parallel position to each other.

Wie aus den Fig. 13, 15 und 17 ersichtlich ist, befinden sich unterhalb dieser Glasträgerleisten 31 und 32 in einem der Höhe des Blendschutzgitters 5 entsprechenden, vertikalen Abstand, zusätzliche längs verlaufende Stützrippen 33 und 34, auf denen das Blendschutzgitter 5 lose gelagert ist.Like from the Fig. 13, 15 and 17 it can be seen, are below this glass carrier strips 31 and 32 in one of the height of the anti-glare screen 5 corresponding vertical distance, additional longitudinal support ribs 33 and 34 on which the anti-glare screen 5 is loosely mounted.

Da die beiden Glasträgerleisten 31, 32 bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 3 an den Enden keine körperliche Verbindung haben, sind die beiden zu diesem Strangpresskörper 1' gehörenden Stirnwände 23 und 24 jeweils mit nach innen gerichteten Rippen 35 versehen. Diese Rippen 35 sind so ausgebildet, dass sie einen stirnseitig zwischen der Durchlichtscheibe 3 und der angeschraubten Stirnwand 23 bzw. 24 bestehenden Spalt 36 überbrücken, so dass diese Rippen 35 einem den Spalt 36 ausfüllenden Füllstoff 37 als Füllboden dienen.Since the two glass carrier strips 31, 32 in the embodiment of the Fig. 3 at the ends have no physical connection, the two belonging to this extruded body 1 'end walls 23 and 24 are each provided with inwardly directed ribs 35. These ribs 35 are formed so that they bridge a front side between the translucent lens 3 and the bolted end wall 23 and 24 existing gap 36, so that these ribs 35 serve a gap 36 filling filler 37 as a filling bottom.

Die Durchlichtscheibe 3 ist in bekannter Art mittels eines als Strang oder Raupe auf die Glasträgerleisten 31, 32 aufgetragenen Klebers 38 (siehe auch Fig. 17) auf diesen befestigt. Zu dessen Schutz gegen aggressive Gase und/oder Flüssigkeiten, die auf die Frontseite einer eingebauten Einbauleuchte auftreffen können, sind auch an den Längsseiten der Durchlichtscheibe 3 solche Spalte 36 mit einem resistenten Füllstoff 37 dichtend ausgefüllt.The transparency plate 3 is in a known manner by means of a strand or bead on the glass support strips 31, 32 applied adhesive 38 (see also Fig. 17 ) attached to this. For its protection against aggressive gases and / or liquids that may strike the front of a built-in luminaire, such gaps 36 are filled with a resistant filler 37 sealingly on the long sides of the transparency plate 3.

Zur formschlüssigen Aufnahme der selbstschneidenden Schrauben 19, mit denen die Stirnwände 23, 24 am Strangpresskörper 1' befestigt werden, ist der Strangpresskörper 1' mit vier Schraubkanälen 40 (Fig. 13, 15) versehen. Zu diesen passend weisen die Stirnwände 23, 24 jeweils Bohrungen 41 auf.For positive reception of the self-tapping screws 19, with which the end walls 23, 24 are fixed to the extruded body 1 ', the extruded body 1' with four screw 40 (FIG. Fig. 13, 15 ) Mistake. For these fitting, the end walls 23, 24 each have holes 41.

Zur Vervollständigung des umlaufenden Anlegerahmens 2 sind die auf Kosten sparende Weise im Rohzustand als Strangpressprofile hergestellten und auf passende Form geschnittenen Stirnwände 23, 24 ebenfalls mit Randleisten 17', 18' versehen.To complete the circulating support frame 2, the cost-saving manner in the raw state produced as extruded sections and cut to fit shape end walls 23, 24 are also provided with edge strips 17 ', 18'.

Bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 6 sind die längs verlaufenden Glasträgerleisten 31, 32 an den Innenseiten der Seitenwände 20, 21 ebenfalls vorhanden, jedoch an den stirnseitigen Enden jeweils durch quer verlaufende Leistenabschnitte 42, 43 miteinander verbunden. Bei dieser Ausführungsform werden die Glasträgerleisten 31, 32 mit den Leistenabschnitten 42, 43 in der Weise hergestellt, dass aus einer zunächst geschlossenen Zwischenwand die frontseitige Öffnung 4 herausgeschnitten wird und dabei die Glasträgerleisten 31, 32 mit den sie verbindenden Leistenabschnitten 42, 43 stehen bleiben.In the embodiment of the Fig. 6 the longitudinally extending glass support strips 31, 32 on the inner sides of the side walls 20, 21 are also present, but at the front ends in each case by transversely extending strip portions 42, 43 connected to each other. At this Embodiment, the glass support strips 31, 32 are made with the strip portions 42, 43 in such a way that the front side opening 4 is cut out of a first closed partition while the glass support strips 31, 32 remain with their connecting strip portions 42, 43.

Aufgrund des Vorhandenseins der Leistenabschnitte 42, 43 können bei dieser Ausführung die Rippen 35 an den Stirnwänden 23, 24 entfallen, weil die Leistenabschnitte 42, 43 jeweils als Füllboden für den die Spalte 36 ausfüllenden Füllstoff 37 benutzbar sind.Due to the presence of the strip portions 42, 43, the ribs 35 can be omitted on the end walls 23, 24 in this embodiment, because the strip sections 42, 43 are each usable as a filling ground for the filler 36 filling the gap 36.

Wie aus Fig. 8 für den Leistenabschnitt 43 und die Stirnwand 24 erkennbar ist, stehen dabei die Stirnflächen der Leistenabschnitte 42, 43 auch als Anlage für die Dichtungsplatten 25 zur Verfügung, so dass der Innenraum des Gehäuses 1 stirnseitig vollständig abgedichtet werden kann.How out Fig. 8 can be seen for the strip portion 43 and the end wall 24, while the end faces of the strip portions 42, 43 are also available as a facility for the sealing plates 25, so that the interior of the housing 1 can be completely sealed frontally.

Im Folgenden wird nun anhand der Fig. 9 bis 19 beschrieben, wie das für den Betrieb der Leuchtstoffröhren 8, 9 benötigte Vorschaltgerät 10 bzw. 10' auf eine Art angeordnet und gelagert ist, dass von seinen Wärme erzeugenden Bauteilen eine gute Wärmeableitung und somit die Vermeidung von Wärmestaus innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 erreicht werden kann.The following will now be based on the Fig. 9 to 19 describes how the ballast 10 or 10 'required for the operation of the fluorescent tubes 8, 9 arranged and stored in a manner that good heat dissipation and thus the avoidance of heat accumulation within the housing 1 can be achieved by its heat-generating components.

Bei der in den Fig. 9 bis 17 dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht das Vorschaltgerät 10 aus einem in einem Metallmantel vergossenen Block. Der Metallmantel weist zu seiner Befestigung an den stirnseitigen Enden vorstehende Laschen 44, 45 auf, die zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsschrauben mit Bohrungen oder Schlitzen versehen sind.In the in the Fig. 9 to 17 illustrated embodiment, the ballast 10 consists of a molded in a metal shell block. The metal shell has to its attachment to the front ends projecting Tabs 44, 45, which are provided for receiving fastening screws with holes or slots.

Hier sind zur Befestigung des Vorschaltgerätes 10 an der zwischen zwei flachen Endabschnitten 48, 49 der Montageplatte 6 rechtwinklig hochstehenden Trägerwand 16 in zwei Bohrungen 50 und 51 jeweils in Parallellage zur Rückwand 22 und zur Montageplatte 6 Schaftschrauben 46 mit Muttern 47 angeordnet. Auf diesen Schaftschrauben 46 ist das Vorschaltgerät 10 mit seinen Laschen 44 und 45 beweglich gelagert. Zwischen den Laschen 44 und 45 und der Trägerwand 16 ist auf jeder Schaftschraube 46 eine Schraubendruckfeder 52 angeordnet, durch welche die Laschen 44, 45 gegen die Muttern 47 gedrückt werden. Durch entsprechende Wahl des Abstandes der Trägerwand 16 von der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand 21 und des Abstandes der Muttern 47 von der Trägerwand 16 wird erreicht, dass die Seitenfläche 55 des Vorschaltgerätes 10 federnd an der Innenseite der Seitenwand 21 wärmeleitend anliegt.Here are for fixing the ballast 10 at the right angles between two flat end portions 48, 49 of the mounting plate 6 upstanding support wall 16 in two holes 50 and 51 respectively in parallel position to the rear wall 22 and the mounting plate 6 shaft screws 46 are arranged with nuts 47. On these shaft screws 46, the ballast 10 is movably mounted with its tabs 44 and 45. Between the tabs 44 and 45 and the support wall 16, a helical compression spring 52 is arranged on each shaft screw 46, through which the tabs 44, 45 are pressed against the nuts 47. By appropriate choice of the distance of the support wall 16 of the opposite side wall 21 and the distance of the nuts 47 of the support wall 16 is achieved that the side surface 55 of the ballast 10 resiliently against the inside of the side wall 21 is thermally conductive.

In analoger Weise kann die Anordnung auch so gewählt werden, dass die Seitenfläche 55 des Vorschaltgerätes 10 an der Innenfläche der Rückwand 22 anliegt, wie das in Fig. 15 dargestellt ist. Dabei wird eine Montageplatte 6' verwendet, die an der Trägerwand 16 zusätzlich einen parallel zur Ebene der Montageplatte 6' verlaufenden Wandabschnitt 56 mit den Bohrungen 50 und 51 aufweist. Mittels der Schaftschrauben 46 und der Muttern 47 sowie mittels der Schraubendruckfedern 52 ist dabei das Vorschaltgerät 10 nach unten, d.h. gegen die Rückwand 22, federnd an diesem Wandabschnitt 56 gelagert.In an analogous manner, the arrangement can also be chosen so that the side surface 55 of the ballast 10 rests against the inner surface of the rear wall 22, as in Fig. 15 is shown. In this case, a mounting plate 6 'is used, which in addition to the support wall 16 a parallel to the plane of the mounting plate 6' extending wall portion 56 having the bores 50 and 51. By means of the shaft screws 46 and the nuts 47 and by means of helical compression springs 52, the ballast 10 is downwardly, ie against the rear wall 22, resiliently mounted on this wall section 56.

Wie aus den Fig. 18 und 19 erkennbar ist, kann die Lagerung der Leiterplatte 11 des offenen Vorschaltgerätes 10' prinzipiell auf die gleiche Weise erfolgen, wie die des Vorschaltgerätes 10 an der Trägerwand 16. Auch hier ist die Leiterplatte 11 auf den Schaftschrauben 46 mittels der Schraubenfedern 52 so gelagert, dass die Wärme erzeugenden Bauteile, z. B. 13 und 14 des Vorschaltgerätes 10', mit ihren Außenflächen wärmeleitend unter Federdruck an der Seitenwand 21 des Gehäuses 1 anliegen.Like from the FIGS. 18 and 19 can be seen, the storage of the circuit board 11 of the open ballast 10 'can in principle be carried out in the same manner as that of the ballast 10 on the support wall 16. Again, the circuit board 11 is mounted on the shaft bolts 46 by means of the coil springs 52 so that the Heat generating components, eg. B. 13 and 14 of the ballast 10 ', with their outer surfaces heat-conducting abut spring pressure on the side wall 21 of the housing 1.

Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass anstelle der Schraubendruckfedern 52 beliebige andere Federelemente verwendet werden können, um den Kontaktdruck zwischen dem Vorschaltgerät 10 bzw. den Bauteilen des Vorschaltgerätes 10' und der Seitenwand 21 bzw. der Rückwand 22 zu erzeugen.It should be noted that instead of the helical compression springs 52 any other spring elements can be used to generate the contact pressure between the ballast 10 and the components of the ballast 10 'and the side wall 21 and the rear wall 22.

Auch die beiden Schaftschrauben 46 können durch andere Führungs- oder Lagerelemente, beispielsweise durch Nietbolzen, ersetzt werden.The two shaft screws 46 can be replaced by other guide or bearing elements, for example by rivet bolts.

In Fig. 17 ist auch die Kabelanschlussmuffe 58 sichtbar, durch welche das elektrische Versorgungskabel geführt ist.In Fig. 17 is also the cable connection sleeve 58 visible through which the electrical supply cable is guided.
