Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zur Montage eines Leuchtmoduls derart anzugeben, dass der Montage- bzw. Demontageaufwand beim Wechsel eines Leuchtmoduls verringert wird.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a lighting device and a method for mounting a light module such that the assembly or disassembly effort when changing a light module is reduced.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Befestigungs- und Kontaktierungsmittel derart ausgebildet sind, dass das Leuchtmodul ausschließlich durch eine lineare Bewegung aus einer Montageposition, in der das Leuchtmodul mechanisch und elektrisch mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist, in eine Demontageposition, in der das Leuchtmodul mechanisch und elektrisch mit dem Gehäuse nicht verbunden ist, bringbar ist und vice versa.To achieve this object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the fastening and contacting means are formed such that the light module exclusively by a linear movement from a mounting position in which the light module mechanically and electrically to the housing is connected, in a disassembly position in which the light module is not mechanically and electrically connected to the housing, can be brought and vice versa.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass durch eine kombinierte Anordnung von Befestigungs- und Kontaktierungsmitteln sowohl die elektrische als auch die mechanische Verbindung allein durch eine lineare Bewegung erzielt wird. Zum Demontieren braucht das Leuchtmodul lediglich von dem Gehäuse abgezogen werden, ohne dass zusätzlich eine elektrische Verbindung gelöst werden müsste. Zum Montieren des Leuchtmoduls muss dasselbe lediglich auf eine Aufnahme des Gehäuses gesetzt werden, wobei nach Abschluss dieser linearen Bewegung das Leuchtmodul mechanisch haftend und elektrisch kontaktiert an dem Gehäuse angesetzt ist. Die Montage- bzw. Demontagezeit kann sich hierdurch wesentliche reduzieren.The particular advantage of the invention is that both the electrical and the mechanical connection is achieved solely by a linear movement by a combined arrangement of fastening and contacting. To disassemble the light module only needs to be removed from the housing without an additional electrical connection would have to be solved. To mount the light module, the same need only be placed on a receptacle of the housing, wherein after completion of this linear movement, the light module mechanically adhering and electrically contacted is attached to the housing. The assembly or disassembly time can thereby significantly reduce.

Erfindungsgemäß umfassen die Befestigungsmittel eine Anzahl von Steckelementen und/oder Rastelementen, wobei entsprechende erste Steckelemente bzw. erste Rastelemente des Gehäuses mit korrespondierenden zweiten Steckelementen bzw. zweiten Rastelementen des Modulgehäuses zusammenwirken. Hierdurch kann eine Montage bzw. Demontage des Leu-chtmoduls lediglich durch eine lineare Steckbewegung erfolgen. Die Haltekraft der Steck- bzw. Rastelemente ist so groß, dass eine zusätzliche kraftschlüssige Verbindung beispielsweise durch Schrauben nicht erforderlich ist.According to the invention, the fastening means comprise a number of plug-in elements and / or latching elements, with corresponding first plug-in elements or first latching elements of the housing interacting with corresponding second plug-in elements or second latching elements of the module housing. This allows an assembly or disassembly of the Leu-chtmoduls only done by a linear plug movement. The holding force of the plug-in or locking elements is so great that an additional non-positive connection, for example by screws is not required.

Die Steckelemente zugleich Kontaktierungsmittel auf, so dass eine funktionelle Verschmelzung vorliegt. Gleichzeitig kann eine mechanische und elektrische Verbindung erzielt werden.The plug-in elements at the same time contact means, so that there is a functional merger. At the same time, a mechanical and electrical connection can be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Befestigungsmittel bzw. Kontaktierungsmittel derart ausgebildet, dass das Leuchtmodul in mindestens zwei Montagepositionen bringbar ist, wobei sich die Montagepositionen dadurch unterscheiden, dass die Leuchtmodule relativ zu dem Gehäuse um eine in Hauptabstrahlrichtung weisende Drehachse verdreht angeordnet sind. Bei einem langgestreckten Gehäuse bzw. Leuchtmodulgehäuse kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Leuchtmodul in zwei Montagepositionen ansetzbar ist, wobei es in der einen Montageposition um 180° verdreht im Vergleich zu der zweiten Montageposition angeordnet ist. Vorteilhaft können somit gleiche Leuchtmodule in unterschiedlichen Einbaulagen befestigt werden, so dass bedarfsgerecht unterschiedliche Lichtstrahlcharakteristiken bzw. Lichtverteilungen erzeugt werden können.According to the invention, the fastening means or contacting means are designed in such a way that the lighting module can be brought into at least two mounting positions, the mounting positions differing in that the lighting modules are arranged rotated relative to the housing about an axis of rotation pointing in the main emission direction.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind mindestens vier erste Steckelemente sowie vier zweite Steckelemente vorgesehen, so dass in Verbindung mit einer elektrischen Schaltung die Leuchteinheiten des Leuchtmoduls auch bei 180° verdrehter Einbaulage des Modulgehäuses mit Gleichstrom versorgbar sind. Vorteilhaft kann hierdurch eine Umschlagfunktion realisiert werden, bei der auf einfache Weise dasselbe Leuchtmodul in zumindest zwei unterschiedliche Einbaulagen zu dem Gehäuse bringbar ist. In der elektrischen Schaltung erfolgt eine elektrische Kompensation hinsichtlich der paarweise örtlich unterschiedlich angeordneten, in den Steckelementen integrierten Kontaktelemente.According to a development of the invention, at least four first plug-in elements and four second plug-in elements are provided, so that in conjunction with an electrical circuit, the light units of the light module can be supplied with direct current even at 180 ° twisted mounting position of the module housing.

In the electrical circuit, an electrical compensation with respect to the pairwise locally differently arranged, integrated in the plug elements contact elements.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Gehäuse und/oder das Modulgehäuse Zwangsführungsmittel auf, so dass insbesondere bei der linearen Montagebewegung des Modulgehäuses relativ zu dem Gehäuse eine Korrektur der Montagebewegung erfolgen kann, so dass das Modulgehäuse lagegerecht in die vorgegebene Montageposition bringbar ist.According to the invention, the housing and / or the module housing have positive guidance means, so that, in particular in the case of the linear assembly movement of the module housing relative to the housing, a correction of the assembly movement can take place, so that the module housing is positionally engageable in the predetermined mounting position.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Gehäuse und/oder das Modulgehäuse mechanische Kodiermittel auf, so dass sichergestellt ist, dass das Modulgehäuse beim Montieren in die vorgegebene Einbaulage gesetzt wird. Ein fehlerhafter Einbau, der bei asymmetrischer Lichtabstrahlung des Leuchtmoduls zu einer unerwünschten Lichtverteilung führen würde, kann hierdurch sicher vermieden werden.According to a development of the invention, the housing and / or the module housing have mechanical coding means, so that it is ensured that the module housing is set during mounting in the predetermined installation position. A faulty installation, which would lead to an undesirable light distribution in asymmetric light emission of the light module, can be safely avoided thereby.

Zur Lösung ist die Erfindung in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 10 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Leuchtmodul ausschließlich durch lineare Bewegung in die Montageposition verbracht wird, wobei gleichzeitig eine mechanische und elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Leuchtmodul und dem Gehäuse hergestellt wird.To solve the invention in connection with the preamble of claim 10, characterized in that the light module is moved exclusively by linear movement in the mounting position, at the same time a mechanical and electrical connection between the light module and the housing is made.

Eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 für Straßen, Wege und dergleichen weist ein rahmenförmiges Gehäuse 2 auf, das über einen Fuß 3 mit einem nicht dargestellten Mast verbunden ist. Das Gehäuse 2 ist somit in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zu einer zu beleuchtenden Fläche (Straße, Weg etc.) angeordnet. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 ist in Verbindung mit dem Fuß 3 somit pilzförmig ausgebildet.A lighting device 1 for roads, paths and the like has a frame-shaped housing 2, which is connected via a foot 3 with a mast, not shown. The housing 2 is thus arranged at a predetermined distance from a surface to be illuminated (road, path, etc.). The lighting device 1 is thus formed mushroom-shaped in connection with the foot 3.

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 ist segmentartig ausgebildet und besteht aus einer Mehrzahl von geradlinigen Leuchtmodulen 4, die jeweils an einer Rahmenseite 5 der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 angeordnet sind. Die Rahmenseiten 5 der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 begrenzen eine quadratische Öffnung 6. Von Eckbereichen des so gebildeten rahmenförmigen Gehäuses 2 erstrecken sich Haltestege 8 in einem Winkel von ca. 45° zu einer Mastachse bzw. Symmetrieachse 9 der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1. Das rahmenförmige Gehäuse 2 weist an einer Unterseite 10 desselben vier Ausnehmungen 11 auf, die jeweils einer Rahmenseite 5 zugeordnet sind. Innerhalb dieser Ausnehmung 11 ist jeweils das Leuchtmodul 4 eingefasst und von einer transparenten Abschlussscheibe 12 verschlossen.The lighting device 1 is segment-like and consists of a plurality of rectilinear lighting modules 4, which are each arranged on a frame side 5 of the lighting device 1.

The frame-shaped housing 2 points at one Bottom 10 of the same four recesses 11, which are each associated with a frame side 5. Within this recess 11 each light module 4 is enclosed and closed by a transparent cover plate 12.

Wie besser aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, weist das Leuchtmodul 4 ein topfförmiges Modulgehäuse 13 auf, an dem ein mit einer Mehrzahl von Leuchteinheiten 14 versehener Träger 15 befestigt ist. Der Träger 15 ist als Trägerplatte bzw. Leiterplatte ausgebildet. Die Leuchteinheiten 14 weisen jeweils ein nicht dargestelltes Leuchtelement (LED-Leuchtelement, LED-Chip) auf, dem in Hauptabstrahlrichtung H ein Optikelement 16 vorgelagert ist. Das Optikelement 16 ist als eine muschelförmige Linse ausgebildet, die eine asymmetrische Lichtverteilungscharakteristik bewirkt. Die Leuchteinheiten 14 sind in einer Reihe angeordnet, so dass die Trägerplatte 15, die Abschlussscheibe 12 und das Modulgehäuse 13 langgestreckt ausgebildet sind.How better FIG. 3 it can be seen, the lighting module 4 has a pot-shaped module housing 13, to which a carrier 15 provided with a plurality of lighting units 14 is attached. The carrier 15 is designed as a carrier plate or printed circuit board. The light units 14 each have an unillustrated light-emitting element (LED light-emitting element, LED chip), which is preceded by an optical element 16 in the main emission direction H. The optical element 16 is formed as a shell-shaped lens, which causes an asymmetrical light distribution characteristic. The light units 14 are arranged in a row, so that the support plate 15, the cover plate 12 and the module housing 13 are formed elongated.

Die Befestigung des Leuchtmoduls 4 an der Ausnehmung 11 des Gehäuses 2 erfolgt im Wesentlichen formschlüssig, wobei das Leuchtmodul 4 durch eine lineare Bewegung aus einer Demontageposition, in der das Leuchtmodul 4 mit dem Gehäuse 2 nicht mechanisch und elektrisch verbunden ist, in eine Montageposition, in der das Leuchtmodul 4 mechanisch und elektrische mit dem Gehäuse 2 verbunden ist, und umgekehrt verbracht wird.The attachment of the light module 4 to the recess 11 of the housing 2 is substantially positive, wherein the light module 4 by a linear movement from a disassembly position in which the light module 4 is not mechanically and electrically connected to the housing 2, in a mounting position, in the lighting module 4 is mechanically and electrically connected to the housing 2, and vice versa spent.

Als Befestigungsmittel weist das Gehäuse 2 einen Steckkörper 17 mit einer Anzahl von ersten Steckelementen 18 sowie das Modulgehäuse 13 auf einer der Trägerplatte 15 abgewandten Bodenseite einen zweiten Steckkörper 19 mit einer Anzahl von zweiten Steckelementen 20 auf. Der erste Steckkörper 17 ist an einer vertieften Steckseite 21 des Gehäuses 2 durch Verschraubung 22 befestigt. Der erste Steckkörper 17 und der zweite Steckkörper 19 sind jeweils in einem zentralen Bereich der langgestreckten Ausnehmungen 11 bzw. korrespondierenden Leuchtmodule 4 angeordnet.As a fastening means, the housing 2 has a plug-in body 17 with a number of first plug-in elements 18 and the module housing 13 on a bottom side remote from the support plate 15, a second plug-in body 19 with a number of second plug-in elements 20. The first plug-in body 17 is fastened to a recessed plug-in side 21 of the housing 2 by screwing 22. The first plug-in body 17 and the second plug-in body 19 are each arranged in a central region of the elongate recesses 11 or corresponding lighting modules 4.

Ferner sind als Befestigungsmittel erste Rastelemente 23 des Gehäuses 2 vorgesehen, die sich an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des ersten Steckkörpers 17 und beabstandet zu demselben angeordnet sind. Ferner weist das Modulgehäuse 13 mit dem ersten Rastelement 23 zusammenwirkende zweite Rastelemente 24 auf, die als in seitlicher Richtung von dem Modulgehäuse 13 abragende Raststege ausgebildet sind. Die ersten Rastelemente 23 und zweiten Rastelemente 24 befinden sich somit in einem in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses 2 beabstandeten äußeren Bereich zu dem ersten Steckkörper 17 bzw. zweiten Steckkörper 19.Further, first locking elements 23 of the housing 2 are provided as fastening means, which are arranged on opposite sides of the first plug body 17 and spaced therefrom. Further, the module housing 13 with the first locking element 23 cooperating second locking elements 24 which are formed as projecting in the lateral direction of the module housing 13 locking webs. The first latching elements 23 and second latching elements 24 are thus located in an outer region spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the housing 2 from the outer plug-in body 17 and the second plug-in body 19.

In dem domförmigen ersten Steckelementen 18 bzw. zweiten Steckelementen 20 sind elektrische Kontaktelemente integriert angeordnet, so dass die Steckelemente 18, 20 zugleich als Kontaktierungsmittel für die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Leuchtmodul 4 und dem Gehäuse 2 bildet.In the dome-shaped first plug-in elements 18 and second plug-in elements 20, electrical contact elements are arranged integrated, so that the plug-in elements 18, 20 at the same time as a contacting means for the electrical connection between the light module 4 and the housing 2 forms.

Zur Montage des Leuchtmoduls 4 an der Ausnehmung 11 des Gehäuses 2 wird das Leuchtmodul 4 mit einer Bodenseite 25 des Modulgehäuses 13 an den Rand der Ausnehmung 11 angesetzt und dann durch geradlinige Bewegung senkrecht zur Steckseite 21 bzw. Bodenseite 25 in die Ausnehmung 11 eingeführt, bis durch steckende und/oder rastende Verbindung des korrespondierenden ersten Steckkörpers 17 und des zweiten Steckkörpers 19 einerseits bzw. der ersten Rastelemente 23 und der zweiten Rastelemente 24 eine mechanische und elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Leuchtmodul 4 und dem Gehäuse 2 verwirklicht ist.To mount the light module 4 to the recess 11 of the housing 2, the light module 4 is attached to a bottom side 25 of the module housing 13 to the edge of the recess 11 and then introduced by rectilinear motion perpendicular to the mating side 21 and bottom side 25 in the recess 11, to by plugging and / or latching connection of the corresponding first plug body 17 and the second plug body 19 on the one hand and the first latching elements 23 and the second latching elements 24, a mechanical and electrical connection between the light emitting module 4 and the housing 2 is realized.

Die ersten Rastelemente 23 sind als Halteklammern ausgebildet, die durch Verschraubung an der Steckseite 21 des Gehäuses 2 befestigt sind. Die Halteklammern 23 weisen federnde Schenkel 26 auf, die in der Montageposition des Modulgehäuses 13 rastend die Raststege 24 umgreifen.The first locking elements 23 are formed as retaining clips, which are fastened by screwing on the plug side 21 of the housing 2. The retaining clips 23 have resilient legs 26 which engage in the mounting position of the module housing 13 latching the locking webs 24.

Als Zwangsführungsmittel zur zueinander fluchtenden Anordnung der ersten Steckelemente 18 und zweiten Steckelemente 20 weist das Modulgehäuse 13 seitlich angeordnete trichterförmige Anlaufschrägflächen 27 und das Gehäuse 2 innenseitig und konisch verlaufende Führungsstege 28 auf. Ferner weisen der erste Steckkörper 17 und der zweite Steckkörper 19 jeweils eine konisch in Montagerichtung verlaufende Ringfläche 29 bzw. 30 auf. Das Modulgehäuse 13 kann somit in eine definierte Montageposition verbracht werden.As a forced guiding means for mutually aligned arrangement of the first plug-in elements 18 and second plug-in elements 20, the module housing 13 laterally arranged funnel-shaped starting bevels 27 and the housing 2 on the inside and conically extending guide webs 28. Furthermore, the first plug-in body 17 and the second plug-in body 19 each have a conically extending in the mounting direction annular surface 29 and 30, respectively. The module housing 13 can thus be spent in a defined mounting position.

Zwischen dem ersten Steckkörper 17 des Gehäuses 2 und dem zweiten Steckkörper 19 des Modulgehäuses 13 ist eine Radialdichtung 31 vorgesehen. Im Übrigen ist das Leuchtmodul 4 als ein in dichter Bauweise ausgeführter Körper ausgebildet, der beispielsweise in Feuchträumen, explosionsgeschützten Räumen, Kühlräumen und dergleichen eingesetzt werden kann. Durch das geradlinige Einsetzen bzw. Entnehmen des Leuchtmoduls 4 in bzw. aus dem Gehäuse 2 kann der Montageaufwand wesentlich reduziert werden. insbesondere kann das Leuchtmodul 4 in einem spannungsführenden Zustand gewechselt werden. Die elektrische Sicherheit ist durch berührungssichere Kontaktelemente gewährleistet.Between the first plug-in body 17 of the housing 2 and the second plug-in body 19 of the module housing 13, a radial seal 31 is provided. Incidentally, the lighting module 4 is formed as a body constructed in a dense construction, which can be used for example in wet rooms, explosion-proof rooms, cold rooms and the like.

In particular, the lighting module 4 can be changed in a live state. The electrical safety is ensured by touch-safe contact elements.

Der nachfolgende, durch eckige Klammern "[]" eingefasste Absatz dient nur zur technischen Information der Öffentlichkeit und nicht zur Bestimmung des Schutzbereichs:The following paragraph, enclosed by square brackets "[]" is only for technical information of the public and not for the determination of the scope of protection:

Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 eine Umschlagbarkeit des Leuchtmoduls 4. Aufgrund einer symmetrischen Anordnung der Befestigungs- und Kontaktierungsmittel bezüglich einer Quermittelebene MQ und einer Längsmittelebene ML kann das Leuchtmodul 4 auch um einen vorgegebenen Drehwinkel cp von 180° verschwenkt um eine Drehachse D, die koaxial zu dem ersten Steckkörper 17 und dem zweiten Steckkörper 19 verläuft, verschwenkt werden. Die ersten Steckelemente 18 bzw. zweiten Steckelemente 20 sowie die ersten Rastelemente 23 bzw. zweiten Rastelemente 24 sind symmetrisch zu der Quermittelebene Mq und/oder der Längsmittelebene ML angeordnet, so dass das Leuchtmodul 4 auch um 180° verdreht um die eigene Achse in das Gehäuse 2 eingesetzt werden kann. Dies kann beispielsweise dann wünschenswert sein, wenn die Lichtabstrahlcharakteristik der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 verändert werden soll. Das Leuchtmodul 4 kann somit in zwei Montagepositionen verbracht werden, wobei in einer ersten Montageposition ein erstes Paar von zweiten Steckelementen 20 mit dem spannungsführenden Paar von ersten Steckelementen 18 und in einer zweiten Montageposition ein zweites Paar von zweiten Steckelementen 20 mit dem spannungsführenden Paar von ersten Steckelementen 18 verbunden ist. Eine nicht dargestellte elektrische Schaltung, die vorzugsweise auf der Leiterplatte 15 angeordnet ist, bewirkt, dass die Leuchteinheiten 14 jeweils in der ersten Montageposition und der zweiten Montageposition des Leuchtmoduls 4 mit der vorgegebenen Gleichspannung versorgt werden. Hierbei wird der Umstand ausgeglichen, dass in den beiden Montagepositionen unterschiedliche Paare von zweiten Steckelementen 20 mit dem spannungsführenden Paar von ersten Steckelementen 18 verbunden ist.Due to a symmetrical arrangement of the attachment and contacting means with respect to a transverse center plane MQ and a longitudinal center plane ML, the light module 4 can also be pivoted by a predetermined rotation angle cp of 180 ° about a rotation axis D, the coaxial with the first plug body 17 and the second plug body 19 extends, are pivoted. The first plug-in elements 18 and second plug-in elements 20 and the first latching elements 23 and second latching elements 24 are arranged symmetrically to the transverse center plane Mq and / or the longitudinal center plane ML, so that the light module 4 also rotated by 180 ° about its own axis in the housing 2 can be used. This may be desirable, for example, when the light emission characteristic of the lighting device 1 is to be changed. The lighting module 4 can thus be spent in two mounting positions, wherein in a first mounting position, a first pair of second plug-in elements 20 with the live pair of first plug-in elements 18 and in a second mounting position, a second pair of second plug-in elements 20 with the live pair of first plug-in elements 18 is connected. An electrical circuit, not shown, which is preferably arranged on the circuit board 15, causes the light units 14 are respectively supplied in the first mounting position and the second mounting position of the light module 4 with the predetermined DC voltage. In this case, the fact that in the two mounting positions different pairs of second plug-in elements 20 are connected to the live pair of first plug-in elements 18 is compensated.

Sind diese Axialvertiefungen 32 bzw. Axialerhebungen 33 nicht vorhanden oder mit gleicher Breite vorhanden, so können als Kodiermittel seitlich am Modulgehäuse 13 Kodierrippen 34 vorgesehen sein, die in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zueinander von der Seitenwand des Modulgehäuses 13 abragen. Eine sich von der Steckseite 21 erhebende aufrechte Seitenwand des Gehäuses 2 weist entsprechende Schlitze 35 auf, in die die entsprechenden Kodierrippen 34 in der Montageposition eingreifen. Je nach vorgegebener 0°- oder 180°-Einbaulage sind diese Schlitze 35 mit entsprechenden Blockierelementen 36 versehen, so dass die korrespondierende Kodierrippe 34 in den entsprechenden Schlitz 35 nicht eingreifen kann, wenn es sich um die falsche Einbaulage des Modulgehäuses 13 handelt. Wie aus Figur 2 zu ersehen ist, sind zwei innere Schlitze 35 frei, während die zwei äußeren Schlitze 35 durch die Blockierelemente 36 verschlossen sind. Zum lagerichtigen Einbau des Modulgehäuses 13 darf dieses an der entsprechenden Seite lediglich zwei innere Kodierrippen 34 aufweisen, während die äußeren entfernt sein müssen.If these axial depressions 32 or axial elevations 33 are absent or have the same width, coding ribs 34 may be provided laterally on the module housing 13 as coding means, which ribs project from the side wall of the module housing 13 at a predetermined distance from one another. A rising from the mating side 21 upright side wall of the housing 2 has corresponding slots 35 into which engage the corresponding coding ribs 34 in the mounting position. Depending on the predetermined 0 ° or 180 ° mounting position, these slots 35 are provided with corresponding blocking elements 36, so that the corresponding coding rib 34 can not engage in the corresponding slot 35, if it is the wrong installation position of the module housing 13. How out FIG. 2 can be seen, two inner slots 35 are free, while the two outer slots 35 are closed by the blocking elements 36. For correct installation of the module housing 13, this may have only two inner coding ribs 34 on the corresponding side, while the outer ones must be removed.

Figur 5 zeigt exemplarisch, welche Voraussetzungen erfüllt sein müssen, damit das Leuchtmodul 4 in der Montageposition die korrekte Einbaulage einnimmt. Die Kodierrippe 34 muss in einen entsprechenden als offenen Schraubdom ausgeführten Schlitz 35 des Gehäuses 2 eingreifbar sein. Ein zu der Quermittelebene MQ gegenüberliegender Schraubdom ist mit einem als Schraube ausgebildeten Blockierelement 36 versehen, so dass die um 180° versetzte Einbaulage verhindert wird. Durch Wechseln der Schraube 36 in den anderen Schraubdom 35 kann das Verbauen des Modulgehäuses 13 um eine um 180° gedrehte Lage ermöglicht werden. FIG. 5 shows by way of example, which conditions must be fulfilled so that the lighting module 4 assumes the correct mounting position in the mounting position. The coding rib 34 must be engageable in a corresponding designed as an open Schraubdom slot 35 of the housing 2. An opposite to the transverse center plane M Q Schraubdom is provided with a locking element 36 designed as a screw, so that the offset by 180 ° mounting position is prevented. By changing the screw 36 in the other screw dome 35, the obstruction of the module housing 13 can be made possible by a rotated position by 180 °.

Es versteht sich, dass durch entsprechende Anordnung der Steckelemente 18, 20, die verteilt in einer senkrecht zur Hauptabstrahlrichtung H verlaufenden Ebene E angeordnet sind, in Abhängigkeit von der Form des Leuchtmoduls 4 bzw. des Gehäuses 2 auch andere oder mehrere Einbaulagen mit zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel unterschiedlichen Drehwinkeln ermöglicht wird.
