Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lichtbandsystem mit einer länglichen Trägeranordnung, welche durch zur Unterseite hin offene Tragschienenelemente gebildet ist.The invention relates to a lighting system with an elongated support arrangement, which is formed by support rail elements open towards the underside.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist ein derartiges Lichtbandsystem bekannt, bei dem die Trägeranordnung mehrere U-förmige Tragschienenelemente umfasst, die zur Bildung eines langen Aufnahmeraums bzw. Aufnahmekanals stirnseitig aneinandergrenzend in einer Reihe angeordnet sind. Der Aufnahmeraum kann sich dabei über viele Meter hinweg erstrecken. Die Tragschienenelemente können dann mit verschiedensten Licht- bzw. Optik-Einsätzen bestückt werden; das Anbringen dieser Einsätze erfolgt dabei typischerweise durch einen Endkunden bzw. Nutzer des Lichtbandsystems. Der Nutzer baut sich sozusagen aus einer Vielzahl von Komponenten das gewünschte Endprodukt.Such a light strip system is known from the prior art, in which the support arrangement comprises a plurality of U-shaped support rail elements, which are arranged in front of one another in a row to form a long receiving space or receiving channel. The recording room can extend over many meters. The DIN rail elements can then be equipped with a variety of light or optical inserts; the application of these inserts is typically carried out by an end customer or user of the lighting system. As it were, the user builds the desired end product from a large number of components.

Ein Problem hierbei besteht darin, dass der so gebildete längliche Aufnahmeraum keinen oder allenfalls einen sehr begrenzten Schutz vor Staub oder Feuchtigkeit bietet. Das Lichtbandsystem eignet sich daher insbesondere kaum für einen Einsatz in industriellen Räumen, in denen typischerweise eine entsprechende höhere Schutzart für Lichtbandsysteme erwünscht bzw. gefordert ist.A problem with this is that the elongated receiving space thus formed offers no or at most a very limited protection against dust or moisture. The light band system is therefore in particular hardly suitable for use in industrial rooms, in which typically a corresponding higher degree of protection for light band systems is desired or required.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein entsprechendes verbessertes Lichtbandsystem anzugeben. Insbesondere soll sich das Lichtbandsystem besser dazu eignen, in einer staubigen bzw. feuchten Umgebung betrieben zu werden.The invention has for its object to provide a corresponding improved lighting system. In particular, the lighting system should be better suited to be operated in a dusty or humid environment.

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

Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein Lichtbandsystem vorgesehen, das eine längliche Trägeranordnung aufweist, welche durch zur Unterseite hin offene Tragschienenelemente gebildet ist; weiterhin weist das Lichtbandsystem ein zumindest teilweise aus einem flexiblen Material bestehendes Profilteil zur Bildung eines in der Trägeranordnung ausgebildeten und sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Aufnahmeraums auf. Weiterhin weist das Lichtbandsystem eine in dem Aufnahmeraum angeordnete Leuchtmodul-Komponente auf, wobei zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente diese auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten - jeweils unter Zwischenschaltung von Bereichen des Profilteils - gegen Anlagebereiche der Trägeranordnung drückend angeordnet ist.According to the invention, a lighting system is provided, which has an elongate support arrangement, which is formed by support rail elements open towards the bottom; Furthermore, the light band system has an at least partially made of a flexible material profile part to form a formed in the support assembly and extending in the longitudinal direction receiving space. Furthermore, the light band system has a arranged in the receiving space light module component, wherein for holding the Luminous module component on two opposite sides - each with the interposition of areas of the profile part - oppressive against abutment areas of the support assembly is arranged.

Durch das Profilteil lässt sich der Aufnahmeraum, in dem die Leuchtmodul-Komponente angeordnet ist, besonders geeignet dicht und somit gut geschützt vor Staub bzw. Feuchtigkeit gestalten. Dadurch, dass die Leuchtmodul-Komponente so angeordnet ist, dass sie - jeweils unter Zwischenschaltung von Bereichen des Profilteils - auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten gegen Anlagebereiche der Trägeranordnung drückt, kann sie besonders gut an der Trägeranordnung abgestützt gehalten angeordnet werden.Due to the profile part, the receiving space in which the light module component is arranged, particularly suitable dense and thus well protected against dust or moisture. Characterized in that the lighting module component is arranged so that - each with the interposition of areas of the profile part - presses on two opposite sides against contact areas of the support assembly, it can be particularly well supported supported on the support assembly.

Vorzugsweise ist die Leuchtmodul-Komponente über eine Rastverbindung klemmend an dem Profilteil gehalten angeordnet. Hierdurch lässt sie sich besonders einfach an der Trägeranordnung anbringen.Preferably, the light module component is held by a latching connection clamped to the profile part. This makes it particularly easy to attach to the support assembly.

Vorzugsweise ist der Aufnahmeraum in einem Querschnitt normal zur Längsrichtung allseits dicht geschlossen gestaltet. Hierdurch lässt sich besonders geeigneter Schutz für die in dem Aufnahmeraum angeordnete Leuchtmodul-Komponente vor Staub bzw. Feuchtigkeit erzielen.Preferably, the receiving space is designed in a cross section normal to the longitudinal direction on all sides tightly closed. This makes it possible to achieve particularly suitable protection for the light module component arranged in the receiving space from dust or moisture.

Vorzugsweise sind die Anlagebereiche durch zwei aufeinander zu weisende Vorsprünge der Trägeranordnung gebildet. Hierdurch lässt sich eine besonders geeignete Kraftübertragung zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente erzielen.Preferably, the abutment areas are formed by two projections of the carrier arrangement facing each other. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly suitable power transmission for holding the light module component.

Vorzugsweise sind die zwischengeschalteten Bereiche des Profilteils die Anlagebereiche der Trägeranordnung unmittelbar kontaktierend angeordnet. Hierdurch lässt sich ein besonders direkter Kraftfluss zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente erzielen.Preferably, the intermediate regions of the profile part, the contact areas of the support assembly are arranged directly contacting. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly direct power flow for holding the light module component.

Vorzugsweise ist das Profilteil durch eine Rastverbindung an der Trägeranordnung gehalten angeordnet, insbesondere lediglich durch die Rastverbindung. Hierdurch ist eine besonders einfache Montage des Profilteils an der Trägeranordnung ermöglicht.Preferably, the profile part is held by a latching connection to the carrier assembly, in particular only by the latching connection. As a result, a particularly simple mounting of the profile part is made possible on the support assembly.

Für eine besonders geeignete Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente weist das Profilteil vorzugsweise nach innen weisende Vorsprünge auf. Herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft sind diese nach innen weisenden Vorsprünge bevorzugt durch an dem Profilteil ausgebildete Profilierungen gebildet.For a particularly suitable mounting of the light module component, the profile part preferably has inwardly facing projections. production engineering Advantageously, these inward-pointing projections are preferably formed by profiles formed on the profile part.

Für eine besonders geeignete Halterung des Profilteils an der Trägeranordnung weist das Profilteil weiterhin vorzugsweise nach außen weisende Vorsprünge auf, die vorzugsweise für einen besonders geeigneten Kraftfluss zumindest im Wesentlichen den nach innen weisenden Vorsprüngen gegenüberliegend gestaltet sind. Herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft sind dabei die nach außen weisenden Vorsprünge durch weitere an dem Profilteil ausgebildete Profilierungen gebildet.For a particularly suitable mounting of the profile part on the support assembly, the profile part further preferably has outwardly facing projections, which are preferably designed for a particularly suitable power flow at least substantially opposite to the inwardly facing projections. In terms of manufacturing technology, the outward-pointing projections are formed by further profilings formed on the profile part.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich das Profilteil als ein Stück zumindest im Wesentlichen über die Länge der Tragschienenelemente hinweg. Hierdurch lässt sich eine geeignete Dichtigkeit des Aufnahmeraums über die entsprechende Länge hinweg erzielen, insbesondere auch über eine durch die Tragschienenelemente gebildete Stoßstelle hinweg.The profile part preferably extends as one piece at least substantially over the length of the carrier rail elements. This makes it possible to achieve a suitable tightness of the receiving space over the corresponding length, in particular also over a joint formed by the carrier rail elements.

Vorzugsweise weist das Lichtbandsystem außerdem ein weiteres Profilteil auf, das zur Bildung des Aufnahmeraums mit dem zuerst genannten Profilteil formschlüssig, insbesondere dicht verbunden ist, wobei das weitere Profilteil vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise aus einem flexiblen Material besteht. Hierdurch lässt sich der Aufnahmeraum bei einfacher Herstellbarkeit besonders geeignet dicht gestalten.Preferably, the lighting system also has a further profile part, which is positively connected to the formation of the receiving space with the first-mentioned profile part, in particular tightly, wherein the further profile part is preferably at least partially made of a flexible material. As a result, the receiving space with ease of manufacture can make particularly suitable dense.

Vorzugsweise sind das Profilteil und gegebenenfalls vorzugsweise auch das weitere Profilteil derart gestaltet, dass sie jeweils zu einer Rolle aufgewickelt werden können. Hierdurch lassen sich die betreffenden Teile besonders einfach transportieren, zum Beispiel zu einem Montageort, auch wenn sie eine insgesamt vergleichsweise große Länge aufweisen, also beispielsweise mehrere Meter lang sind.Preferably, the profile part and optionally also the further profile part are designed such that they can each be wound up into a roll. As a result, the parts in question can be transported particularly easily, for example, to a mounting location, even if they have an overall comparatively long length, that is, for example, several meters long.

Vorzugsweise ist die Leuchtmodul-Komponente beispielsweise ein Leuchtmodul oder ein insbesondere in einem Querschnitt bogenförmiger Kabelhalter.For example, the light-emitting module component is preferably a light-emitting module or a cable holder which is curved in particular in a cross-section.

Für den Fall, dass ein weiteres Profilteil vorgesehen ist, ist vorzugsweise zumindest eines der Profilteile derart flexibel gestaltet, dass im Fall einer temperaturänderungsbedingten Druckänderung in dem Aufnahmekanal die Druckänderung durch eine Formänderung des entsprechenden Profilteils zumindest weitgehend kompensiert werden kann.In the event that another profile part is provided, is preferably at least one of the profile parts designed so flexible that in the case of a temperature change caused by pressure change in the receiving channel, the pressure change by a change in shape of the corresponding profile part can be at least largely compensated.

Hierdurch lässt sich der Aufnahmeraum besonders geeignet so dicht gestalten, dass praktisch kein Staub und keine Feuchtigkeit eindringen können. Insbesondere kann dabei vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass der Aufnahmeraum allseits geschlossen ausgestaltet ist, also auch an den beiden Stirnenden.As a result, the receiving space can be made particularly suitable so dense that virtually no dust and moisture can penetrate. In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the receiving space is designed to be closed on all sides, ie also at the two front ends.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und mit Bezug auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment and with reference to the drawings. Show it:

In Fig. 1 ist eine Skizze einer Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Lichtbandsystems gezeigt. Das Lichtbandsystem weist eine längliche Trägeranordnung auf, die sich entlang einer Längsachse L erstreckt. Die Trägeranordnung ist dabei durch Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 gebildet, die zur Unterseite hin offen gestaltet sind.In Fig. 1 a sketch of a side view of a lighting system according to the invention is shown. The light band system has an elongated support arrangement which extends along a longitudinal axis L. The carrier assembly is formed by mounting rail elements 1, 2, which are designed to be open towards the bottom.

Die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem stabilen Material, beispielsweise aus einem Metall wie Aluminium.The DIN rail elements 1, 2 are preferably made of a stable material, for example of a metal such as aluminum.

Vorzugsweise sind die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 profilartig gestaltet, so dass sie sich jeweils entlang der Längsachse L erstrecken; insbesondere weisen die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 der Anordnung jeweils dieselbe Querschnittform auf.Preferably, the support rail elements 1, 2 are designed profile-like, so that they each extend along the longitudinal axis L ; In particular, the mounting rail elements 1, 2 of the arrangement each have the same cross-sectional shape.

Dabei sind zwei der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass sie über eine Stoßstelle 3 stirnseitig aneinandergrenzen. Wenn die Anordnung mehr als zwei Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 umfasst, sind diese Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 alle entsprechend aneinandergrenzend angeordnet. Daher wird der einfacheren Beschreibung halber hier im Folgenden insbesondere der Fall betrachtet, dass die Trägeranordnung lediglich die hier beispielhaft gezeigten zwei Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 aufweist.In this case, two of the support rail elements 1, 2 are preferably arranged so that they adjoin one another at the front side via a joint 3. If the arrangement comprises more than two mounting rail elements 1, 2, these mounting rail elements 1, 2 are all arranged correspondingly adjacent to one another. Therefore, for the sake of simpler description, the following will be considered in particular the case in which the carrier arrangement has only the two carrier rail elements 1, 2 shown here by way of example.

Die Trägeranordnung weist entlang der Längsachse L eine Gesamtlänge λ auf, die der Summe der Längen l1, l2 der einzelnen Tragschienenelementen 1, 2 entspricht.The carrier arrangement has an overall length λ along the longitudinal axis L , which corresponds to the sum of the lengths l1, l2 of the individual carrier rail elements 1, 2.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Querschnitt durch das Lichtbandsystem normal zu der Längsachse L skizziert. Im gezeigten Beispiel weisen die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 zumindest im Wesentlichen einen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, so dass ein erster U-Schenkel 15, ein zweiter U-Schenkel 16 und ein, die beiden U-Schenkel 15, 16 miteinander verbindender Verbindungsschenkel 17 gebildet sind. Die beiden U-Schenkel 15, 16 erstrecken sich dementsprechend von den beiden gegenüberliegenden Endbereichen des Verbindungsschenkels 17 nach unten.In Fig. 2 is a cross section through the light band system normal to the longitudinal axis L sketched. In the example shown, the support rail elements 1, 2 at least substantially a U-shaped cross section, so that a first U-leg 15, a second U-leg 16 and a, the two U-legs 15, 16 interconnecting connecting leg 17 is formed are. The two U-legs 15, 16 extend correspondingly from the two opposite end portions of the connecting leg 17 downwards.

Zur Befestigung der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 beispielsweise an einer Decke 20, kann wenigstens ein Halteelement, beispielsweise in Form einer Befestigungsfeder 19 vorgesehen sein, die unmittelbar an den Tragschienenelementen 1, 2 angreift. Im gezeigten Beispiel greift die Befestigungsfeder 19 hierzu rastend von oben in Nuten ein, die an dem Verbindungsschenkel 17 ausgebildet sind.For fastening the mounting rail elements 1, 2, for example on a ceiling 20, at least one retaining element, for example in the form of a fastening spring 19, can be provided, which acts directly on the mounting rail elements 1, 2. In the example shown, the fastening spring 19 engages latching from above into grooves which are formed on the connecting leg 17.

Das Lichtbandsystem weist weiterhin ein Profilteil 4 auf, das zumindest teilweise aus einem flexiblen Material besteht, insbesondere aus einem flexibleren Material als die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2. Beispielsweise besteht das Profilteil 4 aus einem Kunststoff.The lighting strip system further comprises a profile part 4, which consists at least partially of a flexible material, in particular of a more flexible material than the support rail elements 1, 2. For example, the profile part 4 is made of a plastic.

Das Profilteil 4 ist dabei zur Bildung eines in der Trägeranordnung ausgebildeten Aufnahmeraums 6 gestaltet, wobei sich dieser Aufnahmeraum 6 parallel zu der Längsachse L bzw. in Längsrichtung erstreckt.The profile part 4 is designed to form a receiving space 6 formed in the carrier arrangement, wherein this receiving space 6 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis L or in the longitudinal direction.

Vorzugsweise weist das Lichtbandsystem außerdem ein weiteres Profilteil 5 auf, das zur Bildung des Aufnahmeraums 6 mit dem zuerst genannten Profilteil 4 formschlüssig und insbesondere dicht miteinander verbunden ist; dabei besteht auch das weitere Profilteil 5 vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise aus einem flexiblen Material.Preferably, the lighting system also has a further profile part 5, which is used to form the receiving space 6 with the first-mentioned profile part. 4 positively and in particular is tightly connected to each other; In this case, the further profile part 5 is preferably at least partially made of a flexible material.

Im gezeigten Beispiel begrenzt das weitere Profilteil 5 den Aufnahmeraum 6 nach unten hin, während das zuerst genannten Profilteil 4 den Aufnahmeraum 6 nach oben hin begrenzt. Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung dabei derart, dass der Aufnahmeraum 6 in einem Querschnitt normal zur Längsachse L bzw. zur Längsrichtung allseits dicht geschlossen gestaltet ist.In the example shown, the further profile part 5 limits the receiving space 6 downwards, while the first-mentioned profile part 4 limits the receiving space 6 upwards. Preferably, the design is such that the receiving space 6 is designed in a cross-section normal to the longitudinal axis L and to the longitudinal direction on all sides tightly closed.

Durch die formschlüssige Verbindung lässt sich der Aufnahmeraum 6 besonders geeignet dicht gestalten, insbesondere dadurch, dass das zuerst genannte Profilteil 4 und das weitere Profilteil 5 zumindest teilweise aus einem flexiblen Material bestehen. Der Aufnahmeraum 6 ist dabei vorzugsweise dicht gegenüber Staub und Feuchtigkeit gestaltet.By means of the positive connection, the receiving space 6 can be designed to be particularly dense, in particular in that the first-mentioned profile part 4 and the further profile part 5 at least partially consist of a flexible material. The receiving space 6 is preferably designed to be tight against dust and moisture.

Ein besonders einfacher Zusammenbau lässt sich erzielen, wenn die beiden genannten Profilteile 4, 5 über eine Klemmverbindung, insbesondere lediglich über die Klemmverbindung miteinander verbunden sind.A particularly simple assembly can be achieved if the two mentioned profile parts 4, 5 are connected to one another via a clamping connection, in particular only via the clamping connection.

In dem Aufnahmeraum 6 ist dabei eine, insbesondere wenigstens eine Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 angeordnet; bei dieser Leuchtmodul-Komponente kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Leuchtmodul 8 als solches handeln. Das Leuchtmodul 8 kann beispielsweise eine LED-Lichtquelle aufweisen (LED: Licht emittierende Diode), insbesondere für eine nach unten gerichtete Lichtabgabe. Das weitere Profilteil 5 ist dementsprechend zumindest teilweise lichtdurchlässig bzw. transparent. Im gezeigten Beispiel weist die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 außerdem einen Konverter 81 zur Stromversorgung der LED-Lichtquelle auf.In the receiving space 6 is one, in particular at least one light module component 8 is arranged; This lighting module component may be, for example, a lighting module 8 as such. The light-emitting module 8 can have, for example, an LED light source (LED: light-emitting diode), in particular for a downwardly directed light output. The further profile part 5 is accordingly at least partially translucent or transparent. In the example shown, the light module component 8 also has a converter 81 for powering the LED light source.

Zum Zusammenbau des Lichtbandsystems kann dementsprechend vorgesehen sein, dass nach Montage der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 zunächst das zuerst genannte Profilteil 4 angeordnet wird, anschließend die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 und schließlich der Aufnahmeraum 6 durch formschlüssiges Verbinden der beiden Profilteile 4, 5 - normal zur Längsache L betrachtet - geschlossen wird. Die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 lässt sich auf diese Weise geeignet geschützt vor Staub und Feuchtigkeit in dem Aufnahmeraum 6 anordnen. Mit "Leuchtmodul-Komponente" 8 seien dabei - weit gefasst - grundsätzlich alle Bauteile bezeichnet, die zum Betrieb des Lichtbandsystems dienen, also beispielsweise Kabel zur Stromversorgung von Leuchtmodulen oder zur Übermittlung von Steuersignalen, Kabelhalter, Konverter, Sensoren und dergleichen.For assembly of the lighting system can be provided accordingly that after mounting the support rail elements 1, 2, the first-mentioned profile part 4 is arranged, then the light module component 8 and finally the receiving space 6 by positive connection of the two profile parts 4, 5 - normal to longitudinal axis L considered - closed. The light module component 8 can be suitably protected in this way from dust and moisture in the receiving space 6. With "light module component" 8 are - broadly - basically all components designated that are used to operate the lighting system, so for example cables for power supply of Light modules or for the transmission of control signals, cable holders, converters, sensors and the like.

Zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 ist diese auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten - jeweils unter Zwischenschaltung von Bereichen des Profilteils 4 - gegen Anlagebereiche 11, 12 der Trägeranordnung drückend angeordnet. Hierdurch lässt sich - trotz der zumindest teilweise flexiblen Eigenschaften der beiden genannten Profilteile 4, 5 und damit des Aufnahmeraums 6 - eine stabile und zuverlässige Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 bewirken. Die Anlagebereiche 11, 12 bilden sozusagen stabile Abstützelemente zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8. Die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 ist hierzu vorzugsweise entsprechend stabil gestaltet, also insbesondere entsprechend stabil bzw. fest in einem Bereich, der sich zwischen den beiden Anlagebereichen 11, 12 erstreckt. Im gezeigten Beispiel weist die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 hier einen plattenförmigen Bereich auf.For holding the light module component 8, this is arranged on two opposite sides - each with the interposition of areas of the profile part 4 - oppressive against abutment areas 11, 12 of the support assembly. This makes it possible - despite the at least partially flexible properties of the two profile parts 4, 5 and thus of the receiving space 6 - a stable and reliable support of the light module component 8. The contact areas 11, 12 form, so to speak, stable support elements for holding the light module component 8. The light module component 8 is preferably designed to be correspondingly stable, ie in particular correspondingly stable or fixed in an area extending between the two contact areas 11, 12 , In the example shown, the lighting module component 8 here has a plate-shaped area.

Durch diese Gestaltung lässt sich weiterhin vorteilhaft erzielen, dass die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 grundsätzlich - mit Bezug auf die Längsachse L - an einer beliebigen Position angeordnet werden kann. Mit anderen Worten kann der Endnutzer quasi frei wählen, an welcher Stelle entlang der Trägeranordnung die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 angeordnet werden soll.As a result of this design, it can furthermore be advantageously achieved that the luminous module component 8 can in principle be arranged at an arbitrary position with respect to the longitudinal axis L. In other words, the end user can virtually choose freely at which point along the carrier arrangement the lighting module component 8 is to be arranged.

Ein besonders einfacher Zusammenbau des Lichtbandsystems lässt sich erzielen, wenn die Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 über eine Rastverbindung klemmend an dem Profilteil 4 gehalten angeordnet ist, insbesondere lediglich über die Rastverbindung. Besonders geeignet kann die Gestaltung hierzu derart sein, dass sich die Rastverbindung ohne Verwendung eines Werkzeugs herstellen lässt.A particularly simple assembly of the light band system can be achieved if the light module component 8 is arranged clamped by a latching connection to the profile part 4, in particular only via the latching connection. The design can be particularly suitable for this purpose such that the latching connection can be produced without the use of a tool.

Ein besonders geeigneter Kraftfluss zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 bzw. eine besonders geeignete Abstützung lässt sich erzielen, wenn die Anlagebereiche durch zwei aufeinander zu weisende Vorsprünge 11, 12 der Trägeranordnung gebildet sind, insbesondere wenn die zwischengeschalteten Bereiche des Profilteils 4 die Anlagebereiche 11, 12 der Trägeranordnung unmittelbar kontaktierend angeordnet sind.A particularly suitable power flow for holding the light module component 8 or a particularly suitable support can be achieved if the contact areas are formed by two mutually facing projections 11, 12 of the support assembly, especially if the intermediate areas of the profile part 4, the investment areas 11, 12 of the carrier assembly are arranged directly contacting.

Im gezeigten Beispiel sind die beiden Vorsprünge 11, 12 durch Vorsprünge der beiden U-Schenkel 15, 16 gebildet. Ein erster der beiden Vorsprünge 11 ist dabei ein Vorsprung des ersten U-Schenkels 15 und der entsprechende zweite Vorsprung 12 ein Vorsprung des zweiten U-Schenkels 16. Dementsprechend weisen die beiden Vorsprünge 11, 12 aufeinander zu, also in Richtung auf den jeweils anderen U-Schenkel.In the example shown, the two projections 11, 12 are formed by projections of the two U-legs 15, 16. A first of the two projections 11 is a projection of the first U-leg 15 and the corresponding second projection 12 a Projection of the second U-leg 16. Accordingly, the two projections 11, 12 towards each other, ie in the direction of the respective other U-leg.

Der Kraftfluss zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 wird also vorteilhaft möglichst direkt von den Befestigungspunkten der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8 durch das Profilteil 4 auf die Trägeranordnung bzw. die Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 abgeleitet.The power flow for mounting the light module component 8 is thus advantageously as directly as possible from the attachment points of the light module component 8 through the profile part 4 on the support assembly and the support rail elements 1, 2 derived.

Wie erwähnt, weist das Lichtbandsystem vorzugsweise mehrere Leuchtmodul-Komponenten auf, wobei die Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponenten jeweils analog gestaltet ist. Wie in Fig. 2 weiterhin beispielhaft angedeutet, kann es sich bei der Leuchtmodul-Komponente in diesem Sinne alternativ bzw. zusätzlich beispielsweise um einen Kabelhalter 8' handeln.As mentioned, the light band system preferably has a plurality of light module components, wherein the holder of the light module components is designed analogously. As in Fig. 2 Further exemplified, the lighting module component in this sense may alternatively or additionally be, for example, a cable holder 8 '.

Der Kabelhalter 8' dient insbesondere zur Halterung von Kabeln 9, die zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtmoduls 8 dienen und/oder zur Übertragung von Steuersignalen; diese Kabel 9 sind dementsprechend ebenfalls innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums 6 verlaufend und somit entsprechend geschützt angeordnet.The cable holder 8 'is used in particular for holding cables 9, which serve to power the lighting module 8 and / or for the transmission of control signals; These cables 9 are accordingly also within the receiving space 6 extending and thus arranged appropriately protected.

Im gezeigten Beispiel ist der Kabelhalter 8' vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf den Kraftfluss im Querschnitt betrachtet leicht nach oben bogenförmig geformt. Wie aus Fig. 2 beispielhaft hervorgeht, sind im gezeigten Beispiel das Leuchtmodul 8 und der Kabelhalter 8' entlang der Längschase L betrachtet teilweise überlappend angeordnet, wobei der Kabelhalter 8' in dem betreffenden Längsbereich vorzugsweise oberhalb des Leuchtmoduls 8 angeordnet ist.In the example shown, the cable holder 8 'is advantageously slightly curved upward in relation to the force flow in the cross section. How out Fig. 2 By way of example, in the example shown, the lighting module 8 and the cable holder 8 'along the Längschase L viewed partially overlapping, wherein the cable holder 8' in the respective longitudinal region is preferably disposed above the light emitting module 8.

Dementsprechend sind zur Halterung des Kabelhalters 8' weitere zwei aufeinander zu weisende Vorsprünge 11', 12' der Trägeranordnung gebildet, die analog wirkend zu den zuerst genannten aufeinander zu weisenden Vorsprüngen 11, 12 gestaltet sind. Diese weiteren zwei aufeinander zu weisende Vorsprünge 11', 12' können dementsprechend wiederum als Vorsprünge der beiden U-Schenkel 15, 16 gebildet sein, wobei die weiteren zwei aufeinander zu weisenden Vorsprünge 11', 12' vorzugsweise oberhalb der zuerst genannten zwei aufeinander zu weisenden Vorsprünge 11, 12 ausgebildet sind.Accordingly, to support the cable holder 8 'further two mutually facing projections 11', 12 'of the support assembly formed, which are designed analogously to the first-mentioned projections facing each other 11, 12. These further two mutually facing projections 11 ', 12' can accordingly in turn be formed as projections of the two U-legs 15, 16, wherein the other two mutually facing projections 11 ', 12' preferably facing each other above the first mentioned two Projections 11, 12 are formed.

Vorzugsweise weist das Profilteil 4 mit Bezug auf den Aufnahmeraum 6 nach innen weisende Vorsprünge 41, 41' zur Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponente 8, 8' auf, insbesondere in Form von an dem Profilteil 4 ausgebildeten Profilierungen 41, 41'. Im gezeigten Beispiel sind zwei nach innen weisenden Vorsprünge 41 zur Halterung des Leuchtmoduls 8 gestaltet und zwei weitere nach innen weisende Vorsprünge 41' zur Halterung des Kabelhalters 8'.Preferably, the profile part 4 with respect to the receiving space 6 inwardly facing projections 41, 41 'for holding the light module component 8, 8', in particular in the form of formed on the profile part 4 profilings 41, 41 '. In the example shown, two inwardly facing projections 41 for holding the light module 8 are designed and two further inwardly facing projections 41 'for holding the cable holder 8'.

Eine besonders einfache Montage des zuerst genannten Profilteils 4 an der Trägeranordnung lässt sich erzielen, wenn das Profilteil 4 durch eine Rastverbindung an der Trägeranordnung gehalten angeordnet ist, insbesondere lediglich durch die Rastverbindung. Vorzugsweise weist das Profilteil 4 hierzu mit Bezug auf den Aufnahmeraum 6 nach außen weisende Vorsprünge 42 auf, insbesondere in Form von weiteren an dem Profilteil 4 ausgebildeten Profilierungen 42.A particularly simple mounting of the first-mentioned profile part 4 on the carrier arrangement can be achieved if the profile part 4 is held by a latching connection to the carrier assembly, in particular only by the latching connection. For this purpose, the profile part 4 preferably has, with respect to the receiving space 6, outward-pointing projections 42, in particular in the form of further profilings 42 formed on the profile part 4.

Diese nach außen weisenden Vorsprünge 42 sind vorzugsweise zumindest im Wesentlichen und zumindest einem Teil der nach innen weisenden Vorsprüngen 41, 41' - im gezeigten Beispiel den nach innen weisenden Vorsprüngen 41' - gegenüberliegend gestaltet, wobei die weiteren Vorsprünge 42 zur Halterung des Profilteils 4 an der Trägeranordnung gestaltet sind. Hierdurch ist besonders vorteilhaft ein Kraftfluss bewirkt, der sowohl zur Halterung des Profilteils 4 an der Trägeranordnung, als auch zur Halterung der entsprechenden Leuchtmodul-Komponente, hier also des Kabelhalters 8' dient. Beispielsweise kann hierzu vorgesehen sein, dass die nach außen weisenden Vorsprünge 42 und die gegenüberliegenden nach innen weisenden Vorsprüngen 41' jeweils durch Profilierungen gebildet sind, die sich in ihren vertikalen Erstreckungen überlappen.These outwardly facing projections 42 are preferably at least substantially and at least a portion of the inwardly facing projections 41, 41 '- in the example shown, the inwardly facing projections 41' - designed opposite, with the other projections 42 for supporting the profile part 4 at the carrier assembly are designed. As a result, a force flow is particularly advantageous, which serves both for holding the profile part 4 to the support assembly, as well as for holding the corresponding light module component, in this case the cable holder 8 '. For example, it can be provided for this purpose that the outward-pointing projections 42 and the opposite inward-facing projections 41 'are each formed by profilings which overlap in their vertical extensions.

Entlang der Längsachse L betrachtet erstreckt sich der Aufnahmekanal 6 vorzugsweise zumindest im Wesentlichen über die Gesamtlänge λ der Trägeranordnung, also die Länge der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Länge des Aufnahmekanals 6 wenigstens 80% der Gesamtlänge λ der Trägeranordnung entspricht.Viewed along the longitudinal axis L , the receiving channel 6 preferably extends at least substantially over the entire length λ of the carrier assembly, ie the length of the support rail elements 1, 2. For example, it may be provided that the length of the receiving channel 6 corresponds to at least 80% of the total length λ of the carrier assembly ,

Zur Erzielung einer geeigneten Dichtigkeit des Aufnahmeraums 6 ist dabei vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass sich das Profilteil 4 als ein Stück zumindest im Wesentlichen über die Länge der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 hinweg erstreckt bzw. über die gesamte Länge des Aufnahmeraums 6 hinweg, insbesondere auch über die Stoßstelle 3. Analoges gilt für das weitere Profilteil 5. Durch die beiden Profilteile 4, 5 kann also quasi ein "Endloskanal" gebildet sein. Dementsprechend können die Profilteile 4, 5 vergleichsweise große Längen aufweisen, beispielsweise Längen von mehr als 3 m, 5 m oder auch 10 m.In order to achieve a suitable tightness of the receiving space 6, it is preferably provided that the profile part 4 extends as a piece at least substantially over the length of the support rail elements 1, 2 or over the entire length of the receiving space 6, in particular via the joint 3. The same applies to the other profile part 5. By the two profile parts 4, 5 So it can be a quasi "endless channel" formed. Accordingly, the profile parts 4, 5 may have comparatively long lengths, for example lengths of more than 3 m, 5 m or even 10 m.

Zum Zusammenbau wird also die Trägeranordnung durch das Profiteil 4 sozusagen ausgekleidet. Dementsprechend besteht praktisch keine Möglichkeit, die Leuchtmodul-Komponenten 8, 8' unmittelbar mit den Tragschienenelementen 1, 2 zu verbinden. Durch die oben beschriebene Gestaltung ist jedoch trotz geeigneter Dichtigkeit des Aufnahmeraums 6 eine zuverlässige Halterung der Leuchtmodul-Komponenten 8, 8' ermöglicht.For assembly so the carrier assembly is so to speak lined by the profit part 4. Accordingly, there is virtually no possibility to connect the lighting module components 8, 8 'directly to the mounting rail elements 1, 2. Due to the design described above, however, a reliable retention of the light module components 8, 8 'is possible despite suitable tightness of the receiving space 6.

Vorzugsweise sind das Profilteil 4 und gegebenenfalls auch das weitere Profilteil 5 derart gestaltet, dass sie jeweils zu einer Rolle aufgewickelt werden können. Hierdurch lassen sich die Profilteile 4, 5 - trotz ihrer Längen - besonders geeignet transportieren, zum Beispiel zu einem Montageort des Lichtbandsystems. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Profilteil 4 - natürlich ohne Schaden zu nehmen - zu einer Rolle mit einem Durchmesser aufgerollt werden kann, der kleiner als 2 m ist. Analoges gilt für das weitere Profilteil 5.Preferably, the profile part 4 and optionally also the further profile part 5 are designed such that they can each be wound up into a roll. As a result, the profile parts 4, 5 - despite their lengths - particularly suitable transport, for example, to a mounting location of the lighting system. For example, it can be provided that the profile part 4 - of course without being damaged - can be rolled up into a roll with a diameter which is smaller than 2 m. The same applies to the further profile part 5.

Um den Aufnahmeraum 6 geeignet dicht zu gestalten ist er vorzugsweise an seinen beiden stirnseitigen Endbereichen ebenfalls entsprechend abgedichtet. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, das die Kabel zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtmoduls 8 bzw. zur Übertragung von Steuersignalen unter entsprechender Abdichtung stirnseitig in den Aufnahmeraum 6 hineingeführt angeordnet sind.In order to make the receiving space 6 suitably dense, it is preferably likewise correspondingly sealed at its two end-side end regions. For example, it may be provided that the cables for the power supply of the light module 8 or for the transmission of control signals with a corresponding seal are arranged in the front side into the receiving space 6.

Somit ist der Aufnahmeraum 6 - vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf den Schutz der darin befindlichen Bauteile bzw. Leuchtmodul-Komponenten 8, 8' - allseits abgedichtet. Die innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums 6 befindlichen Leuchtmodul-Komponenten 8, 8' müssen daher keine entsprechende höhere Schutzart erfüllen. Entsprechende Anforderungen sind lediglich mit Bezug auf den Aufnahmeraum 6 an sich relevant.Thus, the receiving space 6 - advantageous with respect to the protection of the components therein or lighting module components 8, 8 '- sealed on all sides. The light module components 8, 8 'located within the receiving space 6 therefore do not have to fulfill a corresponding higher degree of protection. Corresponding requirements are relevant only with respect to the receiving space 6 per se.

Der Zusammenbau des Aufnahmekanals 6 ist somit besonders geeignet auch für einen "Endnutzer" am Montageort möglich. Insbesondere lässt sich beispielsweise auch eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Kabeln 9 und den Leuchtmodulen 8, also kurz die "Verdrahtung", vergleichsweise einfach durch einen Endnutzer herstellen.The assembly of the receiving channel 6 is thus particularly suitable for an "end user" at the installation site. In particular, for example, an electrical connection between the cables 9 and the lighting modules 8, in other words, the "wiring", can be produced relatively easily by an end user.

Durch die Dichtigkeit des Aufnahmeraums 6 ergibt sich allerdings eine gewisse thermische Belastung: Bei Temperaturschwankungen, wie sie beispielsweise im Rahmen eines Betriebs des Lichtbandsystems auftreten können, kann es zu Druckschwankungen kommen, insbesondere zu einer Unterdruckbildung in dem Aufnahmeraum 6, die das Potenzial zur Ausbildung einer Saugwirkung und damit verbunden einem Eintrag von Staub bzw. Feuchtigkeit in den Aufnahmeraum 6 hat. Um dies zu vermeiden, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass zumindest eines der Profilteile 4, 5 derart flexibel gestaltet ist, dass im Fall einer temperaturänderungsbedingten Druckänderung in dem Aufnahmekanal 6 die Druckänderung durch eine Formänderung des entsprechenden Profilteils 4, 5 bzw. beider Profilteile 4, 5 zumindest weitgehend kompensiert werden kann. Die Profilteile 4, 5 sind dementsprechend vorzugsweise so gestaltet, dass die flexiblen bzw. elastischen Bereiche eine Querschnittänderung des Aufnahmeraums 6 ohne großen Widerstand zulassen.Due to the tightness of the receiving space 6, however, there is a certain thermal load: With temperature fluctuations, as they may occur, for example, in the context of operation of the lighting system, there may be pressure fluctuations, in particular to a negative pressure in the receiving space 6, which has the potential to form a Suction and associated with an entry of dust or moisture in the receiving space 6 has. To avoid this, it is preferably provided that at least one of the profile parts 4, 5 is designed so flexible that in the case of a temperature change caused by pressure change in the receiving channel 6, the pressure change by a change in shape of the corresponding profile part 4, 5 or both profile parts 4, 5 at least largely compensated. The profile parts 4, 5 are accordingly preferably designed so that the flexible or elastic regions allow a change in cross section of the receiving space 6 without much resistance.

In Fig. 4 ist eine entsprechende Formänderung des Profilteils 4 bzw. des weiteren Profilteils 5 durch kleine Quadrate skizziert angedeutet.In Fig. 4 is a corresponding change in shape of the profile part 4 and the other profile part 5 outlined by small squares.

Im gezeigten Beispiel weist das Profilteil 4 - wie in Fig. 2 skizziert - einen Bodenbereich 47 und zwei Armbereiche 45, 46 auf, die sich auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten an den Bodenbereich 47 anschließen, wobei der Bodenbereich 47 - bei ausgeglichenen Druckverhältnissen - im Wesentlichen an dem Verbindungsschenkel 17 der Tragschienenelemente 1, 2 anliegt. Der Bodenbereich 47 ist dabei derart flexibel bzw. elastisch gestaltet, dass er sich bei entsprechender Abkühlung in dem Aufnahmeraum 6 nach innen wölbt bzw. nach unten, so dass sich das Volumen des Aufnahmeraums 6 hierdurch derart verkleinert, dass sich in dem Aufnahmeraum 6 praktisch kein Unterdruck bilden kann oder allenfalls ein Unterdruck, der so klein ist, dass durch ihn keine entsprechend negative Sogwirkung entsteht.In the example shown, the profile part 4 - as in Fig. 2 sketched - a bottom portion 47 and two arm portions 45, 46 which adjoin the bottom portion 47 on two opposite sides, wherein the bottom portion 47 - at balanced pressure conditions - substantially on the connecting leg 17 of the support rail elements 1, 2 is applied. The bottom portion 47 is designed so flexible or elastic that it bulges with appropriate cooling in the receiving space 6 inward or downward, so that the volume of the receiving space 6 thereby reduced so that in the receiving space 6 virtually no Can form negative pressure or at most a negative pressure that is so small that it does not produce a corresponding negative suction effect.

Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine Saugwirkung verhindern, durch die Staub bzw. Feuchtigkeit in den Aufnahmeraum 6 gelangen könnte. Zur Erzielung einer geeigneten Auswölbung kann der Bodenbereich 47 insbesondere elastischer bzw. flexibler ausgeführt sein als die Armbereiche 45, 46.In this way, a suction effect can be prevented by which dust or moisture could get into the receiving space 6. In order to achieve a suitable bulge, the bottom region 47 can in particular be made more elastic or more flexible than the arm regions 45, 46.

Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Profilteil 4 so gestaltet ist, dass der Bodenbereich 47 aus einer Ruheposition, die er bei ausgeglichenen Druckverhältnissen einnimmt, durch eine Abkühlung in dem Aufnahmeraum 6 um eine Distanz δ ausgelenkt wird, die wenigstens 5% der Höhe H des Aufnahmeraums 6 entspricht.For example, it can be provided that the profile part 4 is designed so that the bottom portion 47 from a rest position, which he at balanced pressure conditions is deflected by a cooling in the receiving space 6 by a distance δ , which corresponds to at least 5% of the height H of the receiving space 6.

In analoger Weise kann alternativ oder ergänzend grundsätzlich auch das weitere Profilteil 5 gestaltet sein. Es kann also auch hier ein entsprechend flexibler bzw. elastischer Bereich vorgesehen sein. Im gezeigten Beispiel weist das weitere Profilteil 5 einen insbesondere lichtdurchlässigen Bodenbereich 57 und zwei Verbindungsbereich 55, 56 auf, die sich zu beiden Seiten an den Bodenbereich 57 anschließen. Dabei kann der Bodenbereich 57 zur Ausbildung einer entsprechenden Verformung vorgesehen sein.In an analogous manner, as an alternative or in addition, in principle also the further profile part 5 can be designed. It can also be provided here a correspondingly flexible or elastic region. In the example shown, the further profile part 5 has an in particular light-permeable bottom region 57 and two connecting regions 55, 56 which adjoin the bottom region 57 on both sides. In this case, the bottom portion 57 may be provided to form a corresponding deformation.

Die Verbindungsbereiche 55, 56 können beispielsweise geeignet zur formschlüssigen Verbindung mit dem Profilteil 4 jeweils einen U- oder V-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Insbesondere können durch die Verbindungsbereiche 55, 56 Dichtlippen für eine entsprechend dichte Verbindung mit dem Profilteil 4 gebildet sein.The connecting regions 55, 56 can, for example, suitably have a U-shaped or V-shaped cross section for the positive connection with the profile part 4. In particular, by the connecting portions 55, 56 sealing lips for a correspondingly tight connection with the profile part 4 may be formed.

Bei der gezeigten Formgestaltung des Profilteils 4 ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass sich - wenn das Profilteil 4 von dem restlichen Lichtbandsystem separiert ist - die beiden Armbereiche 45, 46 im Wesentlichen in die Ebene des Bodenbereichs biegen lassen; hierdurch ist eine besonders geeignete Aufrollbarkeit des Profilteils 3 ermöglicht.In the illustrated design of the profile part 4 is preferably provided that - when the profile part 4 is separated from the rest of the lighting system - the two arm portions 45, 46 can be bent substantially in the plane of the bottom portion; As a result, a particularly suitable roll-up of the profile part 3 is possible.

Das erfindungsgemäße Lichtbandsystem ist besonders geeignet für einen Einsatz in einer staubigen bzw. feuchten Umgebung, wie sie beispielsweise in industriellen Räumen gegeben ist. Dabei können die Leuchtmodule und auch weitere Komponenten besonders einfach und zuverlässig vor Ort montiert werden, und zwar grundsätzlich an beliebigen Stellen entlang der Längsachse der Trägeranordnung.The light band system according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in a dusty or moist environment, as it is given for example in industrial premises. In this case, the lighting modules and other components can be particularly easily and reliably mounted on site, and in principle at any point along the longitudinal axis of the carrier assembly.
