Das Einstecken eines Steckers bei ungünstigen Lichtverhältnissen wird erleichtert und es wird gleichzeitig die Orientierung im Raum ermöglicht.The invention according to
Die Steckdose umfasst einen Gerätesockel und ein vorgesetztes nutzerseitig sichtbares Frontelement, wobei das Frontelement zumindest einen topfförmigen Zentraleinsatz für die Aufnahme eines Gerätesteckers aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist mindestens ein Beleuchtungselement an oder in der Seitenwand des topfförmigen Zentraleinsatzes angeordnet und strahlt Licht in den Zentraleinsatz ein.The socket comprises a device base and a superior user-visible front element, wherein the front element has at least one pot-shaped central insert for receiving a device plug. According to the invention, at least one lighting element is arranged on or in the side wall of the cup-shaped central insert and radiates light into the central insert.
Erfindungsgemäß kann der Aufwand zur Erstellung von Lichtaus- oder - durchlässen bei den oft aufwendig gestalteten Frontelementen vermieden werden und es kann eine ununterbrochene Oberfläche und gegenüber Standardausstattungen insbesondere das gleiche Erscheinungsbild gewahrt werden. Gerade bei hochwertigen oder anspruchvoll gestalteten Oberflächen ist dies nutzerseitig erwünscht. Die Beleuchtungselemente können nahezu unsichtbar in den Zentraleinsatz integriert werden und befinden sich in einer geschützten Position, so dass Beschädigungen oder Manipulationen nicht möglich sind.According to the invention, the expense of creating Lichtaus- or - passages can be avoided in the often elaborately designed front elements and it can be a uninterrupted surface and compared to standard equipment especially the same appearance are maintained. This is desirable on the user side, especially for high-quality or sophisticated surfaces.

Das Beleuchtungselement kann das Licht durch eine Ausnehmung oder einen lichtdurchlässigen Bereich in den Zentraleinsatz einstrahlen. Dabei kann der Lichtaus- bzw. -durchlass nahe einer Randkante oder nahe der Oberkante des Zentraleinsatzes so ausgebildet sein, dass das abgestrahlte Licht auch bei gestecktem Stecker sichtbar bleibt und weiterhin der Markierung und Orientierung dient bzw. den Stecker beleuchtet. Hierbei kann das Licht durch den auch bei gestecktem Stecker noch vorhandenen Ringspalt zwischen Stecker und Zentraleinsatz austretenThe lighting element can radiate the light through a recess or a translucent area in the central insert. In this case, the light outlet or passage near a peripheral edge or near the upper edge of the central insert may be formed so that the emitted light remains visible even when the plug is plugged and continues to mark and orientation or illuminates the plug. Hereby, the light can escape through the annular gap between the plug and the central insert which is still present when the plug is plugged in
Das Licht kann radial in den Zentraleinsatz eingestrahlt werden, um eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig den Aufnahmebereich für einen Gerätestecker deutlich zu markieren. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist das abgestrahlte Licht des Beleuchtungselementes gegen den Boden des topfförmigen Zentraleinsatzes gerichtet, der in diesem Fall als Reflexionsfläche dient, so dass eine Konzentration der Lichtstrahlen erfolgt und gleichzeitig jegliche Blendeffekte gegenüber einem Nutzer vermieden werden. Vorteilhaft können jedoch auch andere Einstrahlgeometrien sein. Darüber hinaus können an dem Zentraleinsatz und/oder an dem Beleuchtungselement zusätzliche Reflexionseinrichtungen vorgesehen oder ausgebildet sein, um das von dem Beleuchtungselement abgestrahlte Licht an definierte Stellen des Zentraleinsatzes lenken zu können.The light can be radiated radially into the central insert to allow uniform illumination and at the same time to clearly mark the receiving area for a device plug. In an advantageous embodiment, the radiated light of the lighting element is directed against the bottom of the cup-shaped central insert, which serves as a reflection surface in this case, so that a concentration of the light rays takes place and at the same time any glare effects are avoided over a user. However, other Einstrahlgeometrien can be advantageous. In addition, additional reflection means may be provided or formed on the central insert and / or on the lighting element in order to be able to direct the light emitted by the lighting element to defined locations of the central insert.
Insbesondere durch die Anordnung, Anzahl, Form, Farbe und/oder Ansteuerung der Beleuchtungselemente lassen sich unterschiedliche Lichteffekte und/oder -verteilungen bilden, beispielsweise Figuren, Muster, Buchstaben und/oder Schriftzeichen. Einerseits kann so ein Markierungs- bzw. Orientierungslicht gestaltet werden und darüber hinaus kann eine zusätzliche Information dargestellt werden. Hierdurch lassen sich neben der reinen Beleuchtungsfunktion auch Anwendungen im Bereich der Darstellung von Information oder der bisher an anderer Stelle angeordneten Signalisierung von Zuständen, z. B. Alarme oder Überbelastungen, realisieren.In particular, by the arrangement, number, shape, color and / or control of the lighting elements can be different light effects and / or distributions form, for example, figures, patterns, letters and / or characters. On the one hand, such a marker or orientation light can be designed and in addition, an additional Information to be presented.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung wird das Beleuchtungselement als das Element verstanden, das Licht in den Zentraleinsatz einstrahlt. Je nach Ausführung kann das Beleuchtungselement einerseits als Lichtquelle oder andererseits als lichtleitender Körper ausgestaltet sein. Das Beleuchtungselement und/oder dessen Träger kann lösbar an dem Zentraleinsatz befestigt sein, um im Bedarfsfall einen Austausch zu ermöglichen. Hierzu können formschlüssige Aufnahmen vorgesehen werden, in denen optional komplementäre Rastmittel eine zusätzliche Fixierung schaffen. In einer weiteren Ausführung sind jedoch auch unlösbare Verbindungen möglich, die klebend erfolgen können.In the context of the invention, the lighting element is understood as the element that radiates light into the central insert. Depending on the design, the lighting element can be configured on the one hand as a light source or on the other hand as a light-conducting body. The lighting element and / or its support may be releasably attached to the central insert to allow replacement, if necessary. For this purpose, positive-locking receptacles can be provided in which optional complementary locking means provide additional fixation. In a further embodiment, however, non-detachable connections are possible, which can be made adhesive.
Das Licht kann von einer oder von mehreren Lichtquellen erzeugt werden. Sofern die Lichtquelle nicht selbst das Beleuchtungselement ist, kann sie austauschbar am Gerätesockel angeordnet sein und sich auf einem Träger, beispielsweise einer Platine, einem Sockel oder einem Gehäuse, befinden. Als Lichtquellen können Leuchtdioden (LED's, OLED's), Laserdioden, Glimmlampen, Kaltkathodenlampen, Glühlampen und/oder elektrolumineszierende Lampen (EL-Folie) verwendet werden.The light can be generated by one or more light sources. If the light source is not itself the lighting element, it can be arranged interchangeably on the device base and on a support, such as a board, a socket or a housing, are. Light sources (LEDs, OLEDs), laser diodes, glow lamps, cold cathode lamps, incandescent lamps and / or electroluminescent lamps (EL film) can be used as light sources.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann das Beleuchtungselement als lichtleitender Körper ausgebildet sein, in den das Licht von einer Lichtquelle eingestrahlt wird. Der lichtleitende Körper hat den Vorteil, dass Licht abstrahlende Flächen an Positionen angeordnet werden können, die beispielsweise für die Anordnung einer Lichtquelle ungeeignet sind. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht der lichtleitende Körper gegenüber einer Lichtquelle einen größeren Abstrahlbereich und ein ansprechendes Design. Da die Abstrahlung einer identischen Lichtmenge über eine große Fläche weniger grell und blendend empfunden wird, kann die Verwendung eines lichtleitenden Körpers von Vorteil sein. Insbesondere durch die Gestaltung des Abstrahlbereiches lassen sich unterschiedliche Lichteffekte und/oder - verteilungen definieren und es können angefaste und/oder abgestufte Abstrahlbereiche vorgesehen werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the lighting element may be formed as a light-conducting body, in which the light is irradiated by a light source. The light-guiding body has the advantage that light-emitting surfaces can be arranged at positions which are unsuitable for the arrangement of a light source, for example. In addition, the light-conducting body allows a larger radiation area and an attractive design with respect to a light source. As the radiation an identical amount of light over a large area less glaring and dazzling, the use of a light-conducting body may be beneficial. In particular, by the design of the emission area, different light effects and / or distributions can be defined and chamfered and / or graduated emission areas can be provided.
In einer weiteren Ausführung können mehrere Lichtquellen einen gleichmäßigen ringförmig um die Steckdose verlaufenden Lichtleiter ausleuchten. Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass nur eine Lichtquelle einen entsprechend abgestuften Lichtleiterring ausleuchtet.In a further embodiment, a plurality of light sources can illuminate a uniform optical waveguide extending around the socket. A further embodiment of the invention provides that only one light source illuminates a correspondingly graduated light guide ring.
Der lichtleitende Körper kann Acrylglas enthalten, wobei durch polierte Flächen eine vorwiegend reflektierende Wirkung und durch angeraute Flächen eine vorwiegend emittierende Wirkung erzielt werden kann.The light-conducting body can contain acrylic glass, whereby a predominantly reflective effect can be achieved by polished surfaces and a predominantly emitting effect by roughened surfaces.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung können modulare Baugruppen gebildet werden, beispielsweise ein elektrisches Modul mit der Spannungsversorgung und ein optisches Modul mit allen beleuchtungsrelevanten Bauelementen oder ein lichterzeugendes Modul einschließlich Spannungsversorgung und Lichtquelle und ein lichtverteilendes Modul mit den lichtleitenden und lichtabstrahlenden Elementen. In diesen Fällen kann ein Modul im Bereich des Gerätesockels und ein weiteres Modul an dem Zentraleinsatz angeordnet sein. Die Module können in sich geschlossene Baugruppen bilden, so dass weder am Gerätesockel noch an dem Frontelement für deren Adaption Veränderungen notwendig sind. Die Module können vorzugsweise lösbar befestigt werden, wobei jedoch auch unlösbare Verbindungen erforderlich sein können. Sofern eine Änderung in der Anzahl, dem Ort oder der Art der Lichtquellen oder sonstiger technischer Elemente notwendig ist, wird dies durch den einfachen Austausch von Modulen möglich.In an advantageous embodiment, modular assemblies can be formed, for example, an electrical module with the power supply and an optical module with all lighting-relevant components or a light-generating module including power supply and light source and a lichtverteilendes module with the photoconductive and lichtabstrahlenden elements. In these cases, one module can be arranged in the area of the device base and another module on the central insert. The modules can form self-contained assemblies, so that neither the device base nor the front element for their adaptation changes are necessary. The modules may preferably be releasably secured, but also permanent connections may be required. If a change in the number, location or type of light sources or other technical elements is necessary, this is made possible by the simple replacement of modules.
Vorteilhafterweise können die Beleuchtungselemente nutzer-, verbrauchs-, zeit-, programm- oder ereignisabhängig angesteuert werden sein, wobei ein entsprechendes drahtloses oder drahtgebundenes (Bus-)Signal in die Stromversorgung der Lichtquelle eingreifen kann. Dabei kann im einfachsten Fall ein manuell zu bedienender Befehlgeber, z. B. ein Schalter und/oder ein Taster, an der Steckdose vorhanden sein. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann ein Dämmerungsschalter vorgesehen sein, der die Beleuchtung der Steckdose erst bei unzureichenden Lichtverhältnissen aktiviert. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann ein Bewegungsmelder vorgesehen sein, der die Beleuchtung der Steckdose erst bei Anwesenheit einer Person aktiviert. Des Weiteren kann eine Aktivierung der Beleuchtung durch weitere interne und/oder externe Signalgeber, z. B. mittels Transponder, erfolgen. So braucht der Beleuchtung keine Energie zugeführt werden, wenn die Beleuchtung aufgrund ausreichender Lichtverhältnisse oder Nichtnutzung von Räumen überflüssig ist.Advantageously, the lighting elements can be controlled user, consumption, time, program or event-dependent, with a corresponding wireless or wired (bus) signal can intervene in the power supply of the light source. In the simplest case, a manually operated command generator, z. As a switch and / or a button to be present at the socket. In a further embodiment, a twilight switch can be provided which activates the lighting of the socket only in insufficient light conditions.

Nachfolgend wird der Aufbau und die Funktionsweise einer erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckdose 1 schematisch anhand von alternativen Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben.Hereinafter, the structure and operation of an
Die elektrische Steckdose 1 ist in einem Installationsgehäuse 2 befestigt, welches ortsfest in einer Gebäudewand 3 fixiert ist. Die elektrische Steckdose 1 weist einen Gerätesockel 4 auf, der mittels eines Tragrahmens 5 in dem Installationsgehäuse befestigbar ist, der den Gerätesockel 4 außenseitig umgibt und der die Befestigung der Steckdose 1 in dem Installationsgehäuse 2 ermöglicht. Frontseitig ist ein funktionsspezifisches Frontelement 6 befestigt, das je nach Anwendung ein- oder mehrteilig sein kann. Das Frontelement 6 ist mit einem topfförmigen Zentraleinsatz 7 zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Gerätesteckers versehen, der einen senkrecht zur Einsteckrichtung verlaufenden Boden aufweist, an den sich rechtwinklig eine den Boden umfangsseitig umgebende Seitenwand 19 anschließt. In dem Gerätesockel 4 sind Anschlussklemmen 8 und damit verbundene metallische Kontaktelemente angeordnet, in die frontseitig Steckerstifte des Gerätesteckers gesteckt werden können. Eine wandseitig verlegte Versorgungsleitung 9 versorgt die Steckdose 1 beispielsweise mit einer Netzspannung, wobei einzelne Leitungen lösbar in den Anschlussklemmen 8 fixiert sind.The
Gemäß der
Das erste Modul 10 ist frontseitig in einem Aufnahmeraum 17 des Gerätesockels 4 angeordnet. Im unbestückten Zustand verschließt eine entfernbare Abdeckung (nicht dargestellt) diesen Aufnahmeraum 17, in den das komplementär zum Aufnahmeraum 17 ausgebildete Modul 10 einsetzbar und rastend fixierbar ist. Bodenseitig sind Anschlusskontakte 18 berührungsgeschützt aus dem Modul 10 geführt, die mit den Anschlussklemmen 8 in dem Gerätesockel 4 elektrisch kontaktierbar sind. Oberseitig des Moduls 10 befindet sich die Schnittstelle 12, um Signale an das Frontelement 6 leiten zu können.The
Gemäß
An Umfangsrändern 20 des zweiten Moduls 11 sind Beleuchtungselemente in Form von Lichtquellen 14, z. B. Leuchtdioden, vorgesehen, die nach der Montage des Moduls 11 in sich zur Einsteckrichtung radial erstreckenden Ausnehmungen 21 der Seitenwand 19 des Zentraleinsatzes 7 eintauchen und nutzerseitig vorzugsweise als Orientierungslicht bzw. Markierungslicht dienen. Um eine einwärts gerichtete und blendfreie Lichtfläche zu erhalten sind in den Ausnehmungen 21 Reflexionseinrichtungen 25, in Form von reflektierenden Beschichtungen, aufgebracht. Da die Ausnehmungen 21 im Bereich der äußeren Randkante des Topfes des Zentraleinsatzes 7 in der Seitenwand 19 ausgebildet sind, ist auch bei eingestecktem Stecker das durch die Lichtquellen 14 erzeugte Licht durch den Ringspalt zwischen Stecker und Zentraleinsatz 7 sichtbar und dient weiterhin als Beleuchtung.At
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Die Ausgestaltung des lichtleitenden Körpers 15 ist nicht auf eine Ringform begrenzt und kann jede andere Form aufweisen, insbesondere um eine punktuelle bzw. aus Punkten sich ergebende Ausleuchtung des Zentraleinsatzes 7 zu erzeugen.The design of the light-conducting
Darüber hinaus ist in dem Modul 10 ein programmierbares Schaltelement 26 angeordnet, durch welches das Beleuchtungselement 14 ansteuerbar ist. Die Lichtquelle 22 wird in Abhängigkeit von Programmdaten, z. B. Schaltzeiten, Lichtverhältnissen, mit Spannung versorgt, um die Steckdose 1 zu beleuchten.In addition, a
