Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte mit einem LED-Modul (LED: Licht emittierende Diode).The invention relates to a luminaire with an LED module (LED: light-emitting diode).

Ein LED-Modul umfasst typischerweise eine Platine und wenigstens eine LED, die auf dieser Platine angeordnet ist. Zum Betrieb wird das LED-Modul mit einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle verbunden, durch die der wenigstens einen LED ein Strom zugeführt werden kann, so dass Letztere ein Licht abstrahlt. Wenn ein LED-Modul in einer Leuchte verwendet wird, ist es grundsätzlich nicht ausgeschlossen, dass ein Benutzer bei Betrieb der Leuchte, wenn also eine elektrische Spannung an der Platine anliegt, versehentlich die Platine oder die wenigstens eine LED berührt. Durch eine solche Berührung kann es dazu kommen, dass der Benutzer einen elektrischen Schlag erfährt und/oder das LED-Modul beschädigt wird. Daher werden entsprechende Leuchten üblicherweise so gestaltet, dass ein entsprechender Schutz vor einer versehentlichen Berührung des LED-Moduls gegeben ist. Es ist bekannt, hierzu ein Abdeckelement zu verwenden, das entsprechend vor dem LED-Modul angeordnet ist. Beim Zusammenbau einer solchen Leuchte wird üblicherweise zunächst das LED-Modul an einem Trägerelement der Leuchte befestigt und dann wird in einem darauf folgenden Schritt das Abdeckelement befestigt, typischerweise durch eine Schraubverbindung.An LED module typically includes a circuit board and at least one LED disposed on that board. For operation, the LED module is connected to an electrical voltage source, through which the at least one LED, a current can be supplied, so that the latter emits a light. In principle, when an LED module is used in a luminaire, it is not excluded that a user accidentally touches the circuit board or the at least one LED when the luminaire is in operation, ie when an electrical voltage is applied to the circuit board. Such a touch may result in the user experiencing an electric shock and / or damaging the LED module. Therefore, such lights are usually designed so that a corresponding protection against accidental contact of the LED module is given. It is known to use a cover for this purpose, which is arranged in front of the LED module accordingly. When assembling such a lamp, the LED module is usually first attached to a support member of the lamp and then the cover is attached in a subsequent step, typically by a screw connection.

Die Abmessungen des LED-Moduls sind bei diesen bekannten Leuchten so gewählt, dass die üblichen Normen mit Bezug auf die Einhaltung von Luft- und Kriechstrecken eingehalten sind. Aufgrund der verwendeten Befestigungsmittel werden daher bestimmte Mindestmaße für die Bemessung des LED-Moduls beachtet. Hierdurch sind mit Bezug auf die Baugröße des LED-Moduls und somit auch auf die Baugröße der Leuchte insgesamt limitierende Randbedingungen gegeben; insbesondere sind entsprechende Mindestmaße einzuhalten.The dimensions of the LED module are chosen in these known lights so that the usual standards with respect to compliance with air and creepage distances are met. Due to the fasteners used, therefore, certain minimum dimensions for the design of the LED module are considered. As a result, with respect to the size of the LED module and thus also on the size of the lamp overall limiting boundary conditions are given; in particular, corresponding minimum dimensions must be observed.

Aus der EP 2 375 128 A2 ist eine Leuchte mit einem Profilkörper, einem LED-Modul und einem optischen Element bekannt. Das optische Element drückt dabei das LED-Modul gegen den Profilkörper. Hierzu weist es zwei vertikal ausgerichtete Seitenwände auf, an deren Oberseiten Haken zum Verrasten mit dem Profilkörper ausgebildet sind.From the EP 2 375 128 A2 is a luminaire with a profile body, an LED module and an optical element known. The optical element presses the LED module against the profile body. For this purpose, it has two vertically oriented side walls, on the upper sides hooks are designed for latching with the profile body.

Aus der DE 10 2011 083 273 A1 ist eine Leuchte bekannt, bei der LEDs auf einem Trägerelement angeordnet sind. Zur optischen Beeinflussung des von den LEDs abgegebenen Lichts dient ein profilartiges Lichtbeeinflussungselement, das Schnapphaken für eine Rastverbindung mit dem Trägerelement aufweist.From the DE 10 2011 083 273 A1 a luminaire is known in which LEDs are arranged on a support element. For optically influencing the light emitted by the LEDs, a profile-like light influencing element is used which has snap hooks for a latching connection with the carrier element.

Aus der US 2011/0176298 A1 ist eine LED-Leuchte mit einem LED-Modul, einem metallenen Trägerelement und einer gewölbten Abdeckung bekannt; dabei wird das LED-Modul durch die Abdeckung gegen das Trägerelement gedrückt. Die Abdeckung weist zwei zueinander weisende Rastfinger auf, die in korrespondierende Nuten in der Abdeckung eingreifen, so dass hierdurch die Abdeckung an dem Trägerelement gehalten ist.From the US 2011/0176298 A1 an LED lamp with a LED module, a metal support member and a domed cover is known; while the LED module is pressed by the cover against the support element. The cover has two mutually facing latching fingers, which engage in corresponding grooves in the cover, so that in this way the cover is held on the carrier element.

Aus der DE 10 2011 076 613 A1 ist eine LED-Leuchte mit einer LED-Platine, einer gewölbten Oberschale und einer Unterschale bekannt. Zwischen den beiden genannten Schalen ist die LED-Platine festgehalten.

The cover has a lens integrated. In addition, the lamp has a reflector which is held on spring clips on the support element.

Aus der EP 2 824 380 A1 , die Stand der Technik gemäß Artikel 54 (3) EPÜ darstellt, ist eine Leuchte mit einem Trägerprofil und einer Lichtleiste bekannt, die über hakenförmige Haltemittel an dem Trägerprofil gehalten ist. Außerdem ist an dem Trägerprofil eine LED-Platine angeschraubt.From the EP 2 824 380 A1 , which constitutes prior art under Article 54 (3) EPC, a luminaire with a support profile and a light strip is known, which is held on the support profile via hook-shaped holding means. In addition, an LED board is screwed to the carrier profile.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine entsprechende verbesserte Leuchte anzugeben; insbesondere soll die Leuchte verbesserte Möglichkeiten mit Bezug auf die Gestaltung ihrer Abmessungen aufweisen.The invention has for its object to provide a corresponding improved luminaire; In particular, the luminaire should have improved possibilities with respect to the design of their dimensions.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit dem in dem unabhängigen Anspruch genannten Gegenstand gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention with the object mentioned in the independent claim. Particular embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Leuchte vorgesehen, die ein Trägerelement aufweist, ein LED-Modul, das an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet ist und ein Abdeckelement, das an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet ist. Dabei ist das Abdeckelement das LED-Modul gegen das Trägerelement drückend angeordnet.According to the invention, a luminaire is provided which has a carrier element, an LED module which is arranged held on the carrier element and a cover element, which is arranged held on the carrier element. In this case, the cover element, the LED module is arranged pressing against the support element.

Dadurch, dass das Abdeckelement das LED-Modul gegen das Trägerelement drückt, lässt sich eine Kraftkomponente bewirken, die das LED-Modul in seiner vorgesehenen Position gegenüber dem Trägerelement sichert. Durch diese Sicherung lässt sich ein für die Praxis ausreichend zuverlässiger Halt des LED-Moduls an dem Trägerelement erzielen, ohne dass hierfür Schrauben verwendet werden müssten. Als Folge hiervon können die Kriech- und Luftstrecken entsprechend kleiner gewählt werden und als weitere Folge können somit auch das LED-Modul und letztendlich die gesamte Leuchte kleiner gestaltet werden.The fact that the cover presses the LED module against the support member, can cause a force component, which secures the LED module in its intended position relative to the support member. By means of this fuse, a sufficiently reliable hold of the LED module on the carrier element can be achieved without the need for screws. As a result of this, the creepage distances and clearances can be selected to be correspondingly smaller and, as a further consequence, the LED module and, ultimately, the entire luminaire can thus be made smaller.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement über eine Rastverbindung an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet, insbesondere lediglich über die Rastverbindung. Hierdurch lässt sich erzielen, dass das Abdeckelement besonders einfach an dem Trägerelement montiert werden kann, insbesondere ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs.Preferably, the cover is arranged held via a latching connection to the support element, in particular only via the latching connection. This makes it possible to achieve that the cover element can be mounted particularly easily on the support element, in particular without the aid of a tool.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement als optisches Element gestaltet. Hierdurch lässt sich erzielen, dass auf ein entsprechendes gesondertes optisches Element verzichtet werden kann. Somit lässt sich die Anzahl der Bauteile der Leuchte verringern.Preferably, the cover is designed as an optical element. This makes it possible to dispense with a corresponding separate optical element. Thus, the number of components of the lamp can be reduced.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das LED-Modul durch Halteteile an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet, wobei die Halteteile Oberflächen aufweisen, die aus einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Material bestehen. Auch hierdurch lassen sich die Luft- und Kriechstrecken kleiner wählen. Eine besonders einfache Gestaltung ist dabei ermöglicht, wenn die Halteteile aus Kunststoff bestehen. Die Halteteile sind dabei rastend an dem Trägerelement gehalten angeordnet.According to the invention, the LED module is held by holding parts on the carrier element, wherein the holding parts have surfaces which consist of an electrically non-conductive material. This also allows the air and creepage distances to be smaller. A particularly simple design is made possible when the holding parts are made of plastic. The holding parts are arranged latching held on the support element.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Abdeckelement in einem Querschnitt betrachtet das LED-Modul umgreifend angeordnet. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein besonders geeigneter bzw. zuverlässiger Berührungsschutz erzielen.According to the invention, the cover element is arranged in a cross-section and surrounds the LED module. In this way, a particularly suitable or reliable contact protection can be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Abdeckelement als ein Bauteil mit einer Profilform gestaltet. Dies ist herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft. Zudem eignet sich diese Gestaltung besonders im Fall einer Leuchte mit einem länglichen Lichtabgabebereich, beispielsweise im Fall einer Lichtbandleuchte.According to the invention, the cover element is designed as a component with a profile shape. This is manufacturing technology advantageous. In addition, this design is particularly suitable in the case of a luminaire with an elongated light output range, for example in the case of a continuous line luminaire.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement als ein Extrusions-Profil gestaltet. Auf diese Weise lassen sich insbesondere auf herstellungstechnisch vorteilhafte Art besonders geeignete optische Eigenschaften des Abdeckelements erzielen.Preferably, the cover is designed as an extrusion profile. In this way, particularly suitable optical properties of the cover element can be achieved, in particular in a production-advantageous manner.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Abdeckelement in einem zu der Profilform normalen Querschnitt betrachtet einen Linsenbereich auf und zwei seitliche Armbereiche, wobei der Linsenbereich zwischen den beiden Armbereichen ausgebildet ist. Durch die Armbereiche lässt sich eine besonders geeignete Montagemöglichkeit des Abdeckelements an dem Trägerelement erzielen.According to the invention, the cover element, in a cross section normal to the profile shape, has a lens area and two lateral arm areas, wherein the lens area is formed between the two arm areas. By means of the arm regions, a particularly suitable mounting possibility of the cover element on the carrier element can be achieved.

Vorzugsweise ist die Leuchte in Form einer Lichtbandleuchte gestaltet.Preferably, the lamp is designed in the form of a strip light.

In the example shown here, the lamp is designed as a strip light. Accordingly, the luminaire is overall long, so that it extends, for example, in a straight line along a longitudinal axis L and has a correspondingly elongate light-emitting region. For example, the lamp may be designed as a ceiling light, which is provided for a light output down. The lamp could, however, for example, be designed as a pendant or floor lamp.

Für diese Beschreibung wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Leuchte zum Betrieb gegenüber der Vertikalen so orientiert ist, dass eine Lichtabgabe nach unten vorgesehen ist, wie in Fig. 1 durch einen Pfeil u angedeutet. Im Allgemeinen kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Leuchte zum Betrieb eine anderweitige Ausrichtung gegenüber der Vertikalen aufweist. In diesem Fall sind die vorliegenden Richtungsangaben etc. entsprechend umzudeuten.For this description, it is assumed that the lamp is oriented towards operation relative to the vertical, so that a light output to the bottom is provided as in Fig. 1 indicated by an arrow u . In general, however, it can also be provided that the lamp has a different orientation relative to the vertical for operation. In this case, the present directions, etc. are to be reinterpreted accordingly.

Die Leuchte weist ein Trägerelement 1 auf, das beispielsweise als ein Profilteil gestaltet sein kann, das parallel zu der Längsachse L orientiert angeordnet ist, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet. Weiterhin weist die Leuchte ein LED-Modul 2 auf, das an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet ist. Das LED-Modul 2 umfasst eine Platine 22 und wenigstens eine LED 23, hier mehrere LEDs 23, die auf der Platine 22 angeordnet sind. Vorzugsweise ist die Platine 22 länglich und parallel zu dem Trägerelement 1 bzw. zu der Längsachse L ausgerichtet angeordnet. Die LEDs 23 können - wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet - beispielsweise so angeordnet sein, dass sie sich längs einer Geraden parallel zu der Längsachse L erstrecken.The luminaire has a carrier element 1, which may for example be designed as a profile part, which is arranged oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis L , as in Fig. 1 indicated. Furthermore, the lamp has an LED module 2, which is arranged held on the support element 1. The LED module 2 comprises a circuit board 22 and at least one LED 23, here several LEDs 23, which are arranged on the board 22. Preferably, the circuit board 22 is arranged elongated and aligned parallel to the carrier element 1 or to the longitudinal axis L. The LEDs 23 can - as in Fig. 1 indicated - for example, be arranged so that they extend along a straight line parallel to the longitudinal axis L.

Die Platine 22 ist im gezeigten Beispiel mit Bezug auf ihre Form im Wesentlichen als Platte gestaltet und horizontal orientiert ausgerichtet angeordnet, wobei die LEDs 23 auf einem nach unten weisenden Oberflächenbereich der Platine 22 angeordnet sind. Beim gezeigten Beispiel weist das Trägerelement 1 einen, insbesondere plan gestalteten, nach unten weisenden Oberflächenbereich auf, der zur Verbindung mit der Platine 22 vorgesehen ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Platine 22 bzw. das LED-Modul 2 durch Halteteile 4 an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet, wobei die Halteteile 4 Oberflächen aufweisen, die aus einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Material bestehen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich Luft- und Kriechstrecken besonders klein konzipieren und somit kann das ganze LED-Modul 2 mit besonders kleiner Baugröße gestaltet werden. Hierdurch lässt sich in der Folge auch die gesamte Leuchte entsprechend klein gestalten. Insbesondere lässt sich hierdurch ein besonders schlankes Erscheinungsbild der Lichtbandleuchte erzielen. Auch lässt sich durch eine entsprechend kleinere Gestaltung der Platine 22 das LED-Modul 2 grundsätzlich kostengünstiger herstellen.The board 22 is arranged in the example shown with respect to their shape substantially designed as a plate and aligned horizontally oriented, wherein the LEDs 23 are arranged on a downwardly facing surface region of the board 22. In the example shown, the carrier element 1 has a, in particular plane-shaped, downwardly facing surface area, which is provided for connection to the circuit board 22. Preferably, the board 22 and the LED module 2 is held by holding parts 4 on the support member 1, wherein the holding parts 4 have surfaces which consist of an electrically non-conductive material. In this way, creepage distances and clearances can be designed to be particularly small and thus the entire LED module 2 can be designed with a particularly small size. As a result, the entire luminaire can be made correspondingly small in consequence. In particular, this makes it possible to achieve a particularly slim appearance of the continuous line luminaire. Also can be produced by a correspondingly smaller design of the board 22, the LED module 2 basically cheaper.

Die genannten Halteteile 4 sind auch in Fig. 2 beispielhaft angedeutet, die eine perspektivische Schnitt-Skizze eines Bereichs um das LED-Modul 2 der Leuchte zeigt. Vorzugsweise sind die Halteteile 4 als Kunststoffelemente gestaltet.The said holding parts 4 are also in Fig. 2 indicated by way of example, which shows a perspective sectional sketch of an area around the LED module 2 of the luminaire. Preferably, the holding parts 4 are designed as plastic elements.

Eine besonders einfache Montage des LED-Moduls 2 an dem Trägerelement 1 ist ermöglicht, wenn die Halteteile 4 rastend, insbesondere lediglich rastend an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet sind. Insbesondere lässt sich hierdurch erzielen, dass sich das LED-Modul 2 ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs an dem Trägerelement 1 montieren lässt.A particularly simple mounting of the LED module 2 on the carrier element 1 is made possible when the holding parts 4 are arranged latching, in particular latching, on the carrier element 1. In particular, this can be achieved the LED module 2 can be mounted on the carrier element 1 without the aid of a tool.

Vorzugsweise ist das LED-Modul 2 an dem Trägerelement 1 ohne ein metallenes Haltemittel angeordnet, insbesondere ohne eine Schraube. Dies ist weiterhin vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf die Rahmenbedingungen für die einzuhaltenden Luft- und Kriechstrecken.Preferably, the LED module 2 is arranged on the carrier element 1 without a metal holding means, in particular without a screw. This is also advantageous with respect to the framework conditions for the creepage distances and creepage distances to be complied with.

Weiterhin weist die Leuchte ein Abdeckelement 3 auf, das an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet ist. Dabei ist das Abdeckelement 3 derart angeordnet, dass es das LED-Modul 2 gegen das Trägerelement 1 drückt. Auf diese Weise ist eine Sicherung gegen ein ungewolltes Lösen des LED-Moduls 2 von dem Trägerelement 1 gebildet. Durch diese Sicherung lässt sich das LED-Modul 2 besonders geeignet an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten anordnen, insbesondere ohne Zuhilfenahme von metallenen Befestigungs- bzw. Halteelementen. Die oben genannte Gestaltung der Verbindung mit den aus Kunststoff bestehenden Halteteilen 4 stellt eine mögliche, als solche ausreichende mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem LED-Modul 2 und dem Trägerelement 1 dar.Furthermore, the lamp has a cover 3, which is arranged held on the support element 1. In this case, the cover 3 is arranged such that it presses the LED module 2 against the support element 1. In this way, a safeguard against unwanted loosening of the LED module 2 is formed by the carrier element 1. By means of this fuse, the LED module 2 can be arranged in a particularly suitable manner on the carrier element 1, in particular without the aid of metal fastening or holding elements. The abovementioned configuration of the connection with the holding parts 4 made of plastic represents a possible, as such, sufficient mechanical connection between the LED module 2 and the carrier element 1.

Das Abdeckelement 3 stellt also eine Sicherung für das LED-Modul 2 dar; beispielsweise lässt sich durch das Abdeckelement 3 die Lage der Platine 22 in einem Fehlerfall, zum Beispiel bei einem Bruch eines der Halteteile 4, sichern. Allgemeiner formuliert lässt sich durch das Abdeckelement 3 eine Sicherung zur Verhinderung eines Ablösens des LED-Moduls 2 von dem Trägerelement 1 bzw. eines "Absturzes" des LED-Moduls 2 erzielen.The cover 3 thus represents a backup for the LED module 2; For example, can be by the cover 3, the position of the board 22 in case of failure, for example, in a fracture of one of the holding parts 4, secure. More generally, a fuse to prevent detachment of the LED module 2 from the carrier element 1 or a "crash" of the LED module 2 can be achieved by the cover element 3.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement 3 über eine Rastverbindung an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet; hierdurch ist eine besonders einfache Montage des Abdeckelements 3 an dem Trägerelement 1 ermöglicht. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Abdeckelement 3 lediglich über die Rastverbindung an dem Trägerelement 1 gehalten angeordnet ist. Eine besonders einfache Montage ist dabei ermöglicht, wenn die Gestaltung derart ist, dass das Abdeckelement 3 ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs an dem Trägerelement 1 angeordnet werden kann.Preferably, the cover 3 is held via a latching connection to the support element 1; As a result, a particularly simple mounting of the cover 3 on the support element 1 is made possible. In particular, it may be provided that the cover element 3 is held only on the latching connection to the support element 1. A particularly simple assembly is made possible when the design is such that the cover 3 can be arranged on the carrier element 1 without the aid of a tool.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement 3 als optisches Element gestaltet. Hierzu besteht das Abdeckelement 3 vorzugsweise aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material, beispielsweise aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Kunststoff. Beispielsweise kann das Abdeckelement 3 einen Linsenbereich 31 aufweisen, der dazu ausgebildet ist, ein von der wenigstens einen LED 23 des LED-Moduls 2 abgestrahltes Licht optisch zu beeinflussen. Der Linsenbereich 31 weist vorzugsweise eine Ausnehmung auf, in welche die wenigstens eine LED 23 eingreifend angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist eine besonders effiziente Nutzung des von der wenigstens einen LED 23 abgestrahlten Lichts ermöglicht. Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist die Gestaltung dabei so, dass das Abdeckelement 1 mit einem Randbereich 35 der Ausnehmung gegen den nach unten weisenden Oberflächenbereich der Platine 22 drückt. Ein besonders gleichmäßiger Druck lässt sich dabei erzielen, wenn sich der Randbereich 35 - wie aus Fig. 2 andeutungsweise hervorgeht - auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten der wenigstens einen LED 23 erstreckend gestaltet ist.Preferably, the cover 3 is designed as an optical element. For this purpose, the cover member 3 is preferably made of a translucent material, for example of a translucent plastic. For example, that can Covering 3 have a lens portion 31 which is adapted to optically influence a radiated from the at least one LED 23 of the LED module 2 light. The lens area 31 preferably has a recess into which the at least one LED 23 is arranged to engage. As a result, a particularly efficient use of the light emitted by the at least one LED 23 is made possible. In the example shown, the design is such that the cover element 1 presses with an edge region 35 of the recess against the downwardly facing surface region of the board 22. A particularly uniform pressure can be achieved when the edge region 35 - as out Fig. 2 suggestively - on two opposite sides of the at least one LED 23 is designed to extend.

Vorzugsweise ist das Abdeckelement 3 als ein Bauteil mit einer Profilform gestaltet, wobei das Abdeckelement 3 insbesondere parallel zu der Längsachse L orientiert angeordnet ist. Die Gestaltung als Profilteil eignet sich dementsprechend besonders im Fall einer Lichtbandleuchte.Preferably, the cover 3 is designed as a component with a profile shape, wherein the cover 3 is arranged in particular oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis L. The design as a profile part is accordingly particularly suitable in the case of a strip light.

Beispielsweise kann das das Abdeckelement 3 als ein Extrusions-Profil gestaltet sein. Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, weist beim gezeigten Beispiel das Abdeckelement 3 in einem zu der Profilform normalen Querschnitt betrachtet in einem mittleren Bereich den Linsenbereich 31 auf sowie zwei seitliche Armbereiche 32, wobei der Linsenbereich 31 zwischen den beiden Armbereichen 32 ausgebildet ist.For example, this may be the cover 3 designed as an extrusion profile. How out Fig. 2 As can be seen, in the example shown, the cover element 3, viewed in a normal cross-section to the profile shape, has the lens area 31 in a middle area and two lateral arm areas 32, wherein the lens area 31 is formed between the two arm areas 32.

Die Armbereiche 32 eignen sich besonders zur Herstellung der Rastverbindung zwischen dem Abdeckelement 3 und dem Trägerelement 1. Beispielsweise können in dem Trägerelement 1 nach oben weisende Schulterflächen 15 ausgebildet sein, welche zur Auflage von Rastnasen 33 dienen, die an den oberen Endbereichen der Armbereiche 32 ausgebildet sind.The arm regions 32 are particularly suitable for producing the latching connection between the cover element 3 and the carrier element 1. For example, shoulder surfaces 15 pointing upwards may be formed in the carrier element 1, which serve for supporting latching lugs 33 which are formed on the upper end regions of the arm regions 32 are.

Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist das Abdeckelement 3 symmetrisch mit Bezug auf eine vertikale, durch die LEDs 23 verlaufende Spiegelebene gestaltet. Auf diese Weise ist ermöglicht, dass das Abdeckelement 3 besonders gleichmäßig gegen das LED-Modul 2 drückt und somit besonders geeignet sichert.In the example shown, the cover member 3 is symmetrical with respect to a vertical mirror plane passing through the LEDs 23. In this way it is possible that the cover 3 presses particularly evenly against the LED module 2 and thus secures particularly suitable.

Ein besonders geeigneter Berührungsschutz lässt sich durch das Abdeckelement 3 bewirken, wenn das Abdeckelement 3 in einem Querschnitt betrachtet, beispielsweise in einem Querschnitt normal zu der Längsachse L, das LED-Modul 2 umgreifend gestaltet und angeordnet ist. Hierzu können beispielsweise die beiden seitlichen Armbereiche 32 jeweils einen ersten Schenkel und einen zweiten Schenkel aufweisen, wobei sich der erste Schenkel, ausgehend von dem Linsenbereich 31 zu der betreffenden Seite hinaus erstreckt und der zweite Schenkel sich von dem ersten Schenkel ausgehend nach oben erstreckt und dabei das LED-Modul 2 auf der betreffenden Seite umgibt. Am oberen Endbereich der zweiten Schenkel können die erwähnten Rastnasen 33 ausgebildet sein. Durch diese Gestaltung lässt sich erzielen, dass der Randbereich 35 der durch den Linsenbereich 31 gebildeten Ausnehmung besonders geeignet Druck auf das LED-Modul 2 ausübt. Es lässt sich erzielen, dass der Druck senkrecht nach oben wirkt und das LED-Modul 2 gegen das Trägerelement 1 andrückt.A particularly suitable contact protection can be effected by the cover 3, when the cover 3 viewed in a cross section, for example, in a cross section normal to the longitudinal axis L , embracing the LED module 2 designed and arranged. For this purpose, for example, the two lateral arm portions 32 each have a first leg and a second leg, with the first leg extending from the lens portion 31 to the side in question and the second leg extending upwardly from the first leg and thereby surrounds the LED module 2 on the relevant page. At the upper end portion of the second leg, the mentioned locking lugs 33 may be formed. By means of this configuration, it is possible to achieve that the edge region 35 of the recess formed by the lens region 31 exerts particularly suitable pressure on the LED module 2. It can be achieved that the pressure acts vertically upwards and the LED module 2 presses against the carrier element 1.

Das Trägerelement 1 weist weiterhin vorzugsweise zwei seitliche Wandbereiche 17 auf, die sich von den Schulterflächen 15 aus nach unten erstrecken und als Anlageflächen für die Armbereiche 32 des Abdeckelements 3 gestaltet. Auf diese Weise ist eine zuverlässige Positionierung sowie eine besonders einfache Herstellung der Rastverbindung zwischen dem Abdeckelement 3 und dem Trägerelement 1 ermöglicht. Das Trägerelement 1 kann sozusagen zwei "Hinterzüge" aufweisen, die durch die beiden seitlichen Wandbereiche 17 und die Schulterflächen 15 gebildet sind.The carrier element 1 furthermore preferably has two lateral wall regions 17, which extend downwards from the shoulder surfaces 15 and form as contact surfaces for the arm regions 32 of the cover element 3. In this way, a reliable positioning and a particularly simple production of the latching connection between the cover 3 and the support element 1 is possible. The carrier element 1 can, as it were, have two "rear pulls" which are formed by the two lateral wall regions 17 and the shoulder surfaces 15.

Die Halterung des Abdeckelements 3 an dem Trägerelement 1 ist vorzugsweise derart gestaltet, dass zwar einerseits eine werkzeuglose Befestigung des Abdeckelements 3 an dem Trägerelement 1 ermöglicht ist, andererseits jedoch ein Lösen des Abdeckelements 3 von dem Trägerelement 1 nur unter erheblichem Aufwand möglich ist, vorzugsweise nur durch mindestens zwei getrennte Arbeitsschritte; hierdurch lassen sich entsprechende Normen erfüllen. Auf diese Weise ist eine besonders zuverlässige Abdeckung des LED-Moduls 2 bzw. Ummantelung des LED-Moduls 2 ermöglicht.The holder of the cover 3 on the support element 1 is preferably designed such that on the one hand a tool-free attachment of the cover 3 is made possible on the support member 1, on the other hand, however, a release of the cover 3 of the support member 1 only with considerable effort is possible, preferably only by at least two separate steps; As a result, corresponding standards can be met. In this way, a particularly reliable cover of the LED module 2 or sheathing of the LED module 2 is possible.

Mit Bezug auf die Längsachse L betrachtet, erstreckt sich das Abdeckelement 3 vorzugsweise an beiden Enden mindestens ebenso weit wie das LED-Modul 2, vorzugsweise jeweils über das LED-Modul 2 hinaus. Somit ist auch in dieser Erstreckung betrachtet ein zuverlässiger Schutz des LED-Moduls 2 ermöglicht.With regard to the longitudinal axis L , the cover element 3 preferably extends at least as far at both ends as the LED module 2, preferably beyond the LED module 2 in each case. Thus, a reliable protection of the LED module 2 is also possible in this extension considered possible.

Wenn die Leuchte, wie im gezeigten Beispiel der Fall, als Langfeldleuchte gestaltet ist, können selbstverständlich mehrere entsprechend gestaltete LED-Module vorgesehen sein, die in Richtung der Längsachse L in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordnet sind.If, as in the example shown, the luminaire is designed as a linear luminaire, it is of course possible to provide a plurality of correspondingly designed LED modules, which are arranged in a row behind one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis L.

Zur Montage kann vorgesehen sein, dass in einem ersten Arbeitsschritt, vorzugsweise werkzeuglos, das LED-Modul 2 an dem Trägerelement 1 befestigt wird, beispielsweise mit den Halteteilen 4 und in einem darauffolgenden zweiten Arbeitsschritt das Abdeckelement 3 , wiederum vorzugsweise werkzeuglos, an dem Trägerelement 1 montiert wird.For mounting can be provided that in a first step, preferably without tools, the LED module 2 is fixed to the support member 1, for example, with the holding parts 4 and in a subsequent second step the cover 3, again preferably without tools, on the support element is mounted.

Das Abdeckelement 3 erfüllt somit insgesamt mehrere Funktionen: es dient durch Ummantelung des LED-Moduls 2 als Berührungsschutz, weiterhin als mechanische Sicherung des LED-Moduls 2 vor einem ungewollten Ablösen von dem Trägerelement 1 und außerdem als optisches Element zur Beeinflussung des von dem LED-Modul 2 abgestrahlten Lichts.The cover element 3 thus fulfills a total of several functions: it serves by sheathing the LED module 2 as contact protection, furthermore as a mechanical protection of the LED module 2 against unwanted detachment from the support element 1 and also as an optical element for influencing the LED Module 2 radiated light.
