This can be done in a simple manner in that the magnetic carrier 28 of the stripline 22 is simply pressed against the metal rear wall 4 at the desired point, whereby the stripline 22 is already attached to the Rear wall 4 is attached and held securely.
- the lamp 16 can be electrically conductively connected to the connection cable 21, which is plugged into the socket 63 of the power take-off module 19, more precisely to the connection contacts 86a, 86b of the wire pieces 61, 62, although this can also be done later after the power collection module 19 has been attached to the stripline 22.
- the connection cable 21 can, as in Fig. 2 illustrated to be fixed to the shelf.
- the shelf 6 can then be mounted on the shelf system 1.
- the angle brackets 13a, 13b, on which the shelf 6 is mounted are hung in the slots 3 of the shelf rails 2a, 2b, which correspond to the desired height, in the usual way.
- the angle brackets 13a, 13b with their engagement hooks 14 are inserted into the support 3 in a slightly downwardly inclined position and then pivoted downward until the brackets 13a, 13b are supported against the shelf rails 2a, 2b and the shelf 6 is securely on them is held.
- the current collection module 19 can then be fixed to the stripline 22.
- a user can use the Grasp the wing elements 64, 66 of the housing 48 of the power collection module 19 on the rear arms 72, 73 by hand and gently press them together to pivot the front arms 69, 71 of the wing elements 64, 66 outward until the opening width between the engagement hooks 74, 76 of the wing elements 64, 66 is equal to or greater than the width of the carrier 28, measured between the outer ends of the engagement strips 44a, 44b.
- the current collection module 19 can then be pressed against the strip line 22 until the engagement hooks 74, 76 of the wing elements 64, 66 pass the engagement strips 44a, 44b of the carrier 28 and engage behind them.
- the front arms 68, 71 of the power take-off module 19 grip around the carrier 28 in a clamping manner and the power take-off module 19 is held securely on the carrier 28.
- the pick-off contacts 81a, 81b are not significantly bent here, but are pivoted around the aforementioned bending points essentially as one-armed levers. In any case, the tapping contacts 81a, 81b can through the conductors 29a, 29b further into the housing 48 up to the in the Figures 11 and 12 shown End position must be pressed.
- the lever-like configuration of the tap contacts 81a, 81b enables relatively large strokes that the tap contacts 81a, 81b can perform.
- the electrical contact between the electrical conductors 29a, b of the stripline 22 and the tapping contacts 81a, b is also established at the same time, whereby the respective circuit is closed to which the wire pieces 61, 62, the Connecting line 21 and the lamp 16 or the like. Belong.
- the spring force caused by the elasticity of the wire pieces 61, 62 presses the tapping contacts 81a, 81b firmly against the conductors 29a, b, so that permanent contact is ensured as long as the current collection module 19 is attached to the stripline 22.
- the power take-off module 19 can advantageously be fastened at any point on the stripline 22 within the range of the connecting cable 21 in order to create the power connection. This increases the flexibility compared to conventional systems that only allow discrete connection points.
- the power take-off module 19 can be quickly detached from the stripline 22 by gently squeezing the wing elements 64, 66 again on the rear arms 72, 73 until the engagement hooks 74, 76 release the engagement strips 44a, 44b and the current collection module 19 can be removed from the stripline 22.
- the shelf 6 can then simply be unhooked and re-hung somewhere else, and the power take-off module 19 can be attached to the stripline 22 in the vicinity of the shelf 6 in accordance with the procedure explained above in order to establish the power connection for the lamp 16.
- the housing 48 of the power collection module 19 can be designed differently because it is independent of the carrier element of the hanging and / or shelving system. Not only shelf-shaped support elements, such as the shelf 6, but also support arms, bodies or the like can be used and equipped with the electrification system 17. The shape of the housing 48 does not have to be adapted to the carrier element
- the hanging and / or shelving system need not be based on slot supports. It can be formed by any piece of furniture or a presentation wall that can also use support profile rails or sockets for support elements. However, the profile rails or sockets are not used for electrification.
- the strip line 22 is not arranged inside a shelf rail, a support profile rail or a plug-in sleeve, but rather flat on the outside of a wall element, e.g. on the rear wall 4 of the hanging and / or shelving system 1, and according to the invention only by the magnetic force of the support 28 the stripline 22 held, which significantly simplifies the manufacturing and assembly effort.
- Figures 13 and 14 show further special features of the electrification system 17, which can be provided as an option.
- Figure 13 Fig. 11 illustrates a case when an attempt is made to attach and connect the power collection module 19 to the strip line 22 upside down.
- the strip line 22 can be mounted the wrong way round on the rear wall 4, or an attempt is made to place the current collection module 19 in the wrong position to be connected to the strip line 22 in such a way that the tapping contacts 81a, 81b would each come into contact with the electrical conductor 29a or 29b of the wrong polarity. How out Fig.
- Figure 14 shows a further advantageous configuration of the electrification system 17. If, for example, an external force F is exerted on the current collection module 19 in such a way that it tries to pull the current collection module 19 away from the stripline 22 if, for example, the connection cable 21 connected to the current collection module 19 is accidentally pulled , the current pick-up module 19 is automatically detached or clipped off from the stripline 22 from a predetermined minimum strength of the external force.
- an external force F is exerted on the current collection module 19 in such a way that it tries to pull the current collection module 19 away from the stripline 22 if, for example, the connection cable 21 connected to the current collection module 19 is accidentally pulled , the current pick-up module 19 is automatically detached or clipped off from the stripline 22 from a predetermined minimum strength of the external force.
- the rounded portions 47a, 47b on the engaging strips 44a, 44b then act with increasing force against the rounded hook ends 77, 78 of the forearms 69, 71 of the wing elements 64, 66 until the forearms 69, 71 move outward and when the force continues F can overcome the engagement strips 44a, 44b. Then comes this Current collection module 19 free from strip line 22 without tearing it away from rear wall 4 of hanging and / or shelving system 1.
- the magnetic adhesive force of the strip line 22 on the rear wall 4 is selected to be sufficient to withstand the maximum force which acts on the strip line 22 when the current collection module 19 is released from the strip line 22.
- the roundings or bevels 46a, 46b at the transition to the front surface 37 of the engagement strips 44a, 44b can also support the assembly of the current collection module 19 on the stripline 22 by using the rounded hook ends 77, 78 of the Front arms 69, 71 come into engagement and displace them outwards until the engagement hooks 74, 76 overcome the engagement strips 44a, 44b without the wing elements 64, 66 being sufficiently pivoted outward by the user.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem mit einem Elektrifizierungssystem.The invention relates to a hanging and / or shelving system with an electrification system.
Es sind unterschiedliche Hänge- oder Regalsysteme, insbesondere Präsentationssysteme für Messen oder Ladengeschäfte oder für den Wohnbereich, bekannt. Bspw. sind Systeme verbreitet, bei denen vertikale Träger in einem vorgegebenen Raster Schlitze aufweisen (Schlitzträger), in die mit Haken versehene Trägerelemente eingesteckt werden können. Es können unterschiedliche Trägerelemente, wie bspw. Trag- und Aufhängearme, Gestelle, Körbe, Fachböden an Konsolen und dgl., schnell und einfach in jeder gewünschten Höhe in die Schlitze der Schlitzträger eingehängt werden.There are different hanging or shelf systems, in particular presentation systems for trade fairs or shops or for the living area, known. For example, systems are widespread in which vertical carriers have slots in a predetermined grid (slot carriers) into which carrier elements provided with hooks can be inserted. Different support elements, such as, for example, support and suspension arms, frames, baskets, shelves on consoles and the like, can be quickly and easily hooked into the slots of the slot support at any desired height.
Es ist ferner bekannt, an Fachböden oder sonstigen Trägerelementen von Regalen elektrische Geräte, insbesondere Beleuchtungseinrichtungen, wie z.B. Halogen- oder LED-Leuchten, vorzusehen, um durch Beleuchtung von Waren oder Gegenständen in dem Regal mit Licht bessere Sichtbarkeit und unterschiedliche optische Effekte zu erzielen. Insbesondere bei Regalsystemen für den Ladenbau ist eine dezente Anordnung der Stromversorgung für die Leuchten oder sonstigen elektrischen Geräte erwünscht. Ferner sollte eine schnelle und einfache Herstellung der Anschlussverbindung von der Leuchte oder einem sonstigen elektrischen Gerät an dem Regalsystem zu einer externen elektrischen Stromversorgung bei der Montage des Hänge- oder Regalsystems möglich sein.It is also known to provide electrical devices, in particular lighting devices, such as halogen or LED lights, on shelves or other support elements of shelves in order to achieve better visibility and different optical effects by illuminating goods or objects on the shelf with light. A discreet arrangement of the power supply for the lights or other electrical devices is particularly desirable in the case of shelving systems for shopfitting. Furthermore, it should be possible to quickly and easily establish the connection from the lamp or another electrical device on the shelving system to an external electrical power supply when the hanging or shelving system is being installed.
Aus der
Die Integration einer Stromschiene in rohrförmige geschlitzte Regalschienen kann aufgrund von erforderlichen engen Passungen zwischen Regalschiene und Stromschiene, Unebenheiten an der Innenfläche der Regalschiene und Mitteln, wie bspw. Befestigungsmitteln, die im Einsatz in die Regalschiene hineinragen können, relativ schwierig sein. Zur Aufnahme der Stromabnehmereinrichtungen sind spezielle Konsolen erforderlich, die aufwändig, bspw. durch Ausstanzen von Aufnahmelöchern für die Stromabnehmereinrichtungen in standardgemäßen Konsolen, hergestellt werden müssen.The integration of a power rail into tubular, slotted shelf rails can be relatively difficult due to the tight fits required between shelf rail and conductor rail, unevenness on the inner surface of the shelf rail and means such as fastening means that can protrude into the shelf rail during use. To accommodate the current collector devices, special consoles are required, which have to be produced in a complex manner, for example by punching out receiving holes for the current collector devices in standard consoles.
Es sind auch Systeme bekannt, die alternativ zu den bekannten Schlitzträgern Trägerprofilschienen verwenden, die eine Grundplatte zur Anbringung an einer Wand oder Unterkonstruktion eines Raumes und zwei Schenkel aufweisen, die sich von der Grundplatte aus freitragend senkrecht weg, im Abstand zueinander erstrecken. Die Schenkel definieren zwischeneinander einen Aufnahmeschlitz, der über eine der Grundplatte gegenüberliegende Eintrittsöffnung zugänglich ist und der Aufnahme von Einsteckelementen dient. Die Einsteckelemente können in dem Aufnahmeschlitz schnell und beliebig positioniert werden. Die Trägerprofilschiene kann auch für eine vertikale Anbringung eingerichtet und mit Befestigungsschlitzen für die Einsteckelemente in der Grundplatte versehen sein.Systems are also known which use, as an alternative to the known slot carriers, carrier profile rails which have a base plate for attachment to a wall or substructure of a room and two legs which extend vertically away from the base plate and at a distance from one another. The legs define between one another a receiving slot which is accessible via an inlet opening opposite the base plate and which is used to receive plug-in elements. The plug-in elements can be positioned quickly and at will in the receiving slot. The support profile rail can also be set up for vertical attachment and provided with fastening slots for the plug-in elements in the base plate.
Insgesamt wird die Elektrifizierung herkömmlicher Regalsysteme mit relativ hohem Aufwand und hohen Kosten für die Herstellung, Montage und Verdrahtung erkauft. Neben großer Variabilität und ästhetischer Gestaltung derartiger Systeme ist aber eine aufwandsarme, kostengünstige Lösung wünschenswert.Overall, the electrification of conventional shelving systems is bought with relatively high effort and high costs for production, assembly and wiring. In addition to great variability and aesthetic design of such systems, however, a low-cost, cost-effective solution is desirable.
Die parallel anhängige deutsche Patentanmeldung mit dem Aktenzeichen
Die Streifenleitung wird durch Kleben, Magnetelemente, Anschrauben, Tackern oder dgl. mit ihrer Rückfläche unmittelbar an der Vorderfläche des Wandelementes des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems befestigt. Eine Integration der Stromleiter in Schlitzträger, Trägerprofilschienen oder dgl. ist nicht erforderlich. Das Stromabnahmemodul ist zur Montage an einem Trägerelement, insbesondere Fachboden, des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems eingerichtet. Hierzu kann das Gehäuse des Stromabnahmemoduls formschlüssige Aufnahmen enthalten, um bspw. Abschnitte einer Hinterkante standardgemäßer Fachböden für Regalsysteme passend zu umgreifen. Alternativ kann in der Oberseite des Stromabnahmemoduls ein Magnet eingebaut sein, der eine Befestigung des Stromabnahmemoduls an einem magnetisierbaren metallenen Fachboden durch Magnetkraft ermöglicht. Das Stromabnahmemodul kann auch haftschlüssig an dem Trägerelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems befestigt werden.The stripline is attached with its rear surface directly to the front surface of the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system by gluing, magnetic elements, screwing, stapling or the like. It is not necessary to integrate the current conductors in slot carriers, carrier profile rails or the like. The power take-off module is set up for mounting on a carrier element, in particular a shelf, of the hanging and / or shelving system. The housing of the power take-off module Contain form-fitting recordings, for example, to suitably grip around sections of a rear edge of standard shelves for shelving systems. Alternatively, a magnet can be built into the upper side of the power take-off module, which enables the power take-off module to be attached to a magnetizable metal shelf by means of magnetic force. The power take-off module can also be firmly attached to the carrier element of the hanging and / or shelving system.
Wenngleich das Elektrifizierungssystem eine einfache und schnelle Montage der Streifenleitung unmittelbar an dem Wandelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems ermöglicht, muss die Streifenleitung hierzu im Vorfeld mit zusätzlichen Mitteln, wie einem doppelseitigen Klebeband, einem Klettverschlussband, mit Magnetelementen, Schraub- oder sonstigen Befestigungsmitteln, versehen werden, was insgesamt den Herstellungsaufwand und die damit verbundenen Kosten erhöht. Dies gilt auch für das Stromabnahmemodul, das je nach Trägerelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems für eine Befestigung an diesem unterschiedlich konfiguriert sein muss. An einem stabförmigen Tragarm eines Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems kann das Stromabnahmemodul nicht befestigt werden, so dass eine Elektrifizierung für den Tragarm mit diesem System nicht möglich ist. Es wäre aber ein einfach und flexibel montierbares universelles Elektrifizierungssystem erwünscht, das sich für vielfältige Trägerelemente von Hänge- und/oder Regalsystemen eignet.Although the electrification system enables the stripline to be installed quickly and easily directly on the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system, the stripline must be provided in advance with additional means, such as double-sided adhesive tape, a Velcro tape, with magnetic elements, screw or other fasteners, are provided, which overall increases the manufacturing effort and the associated costs. This also applies to the power collection module, which, depending on the carrier element of the hanging and / or shelving system, has to be configured differently for attachment to this. The power take-off module cannot be attached to a rod-shaped support arm of a hanging and / or shelving system, so that electrification for the support arm with this system is not possible. However, a universal electrification system that can be installed simply and flexibly and that is suitable for a wide variety of support elements of hanging and / or shelving systems would be desirable.
Aus der Praxis ist ein ähnliches Elektrifizierungssystem bekannt, bei dem das Stromabnahmemodul eingerichtet ist, um an der Stromschiene und nicht an dem Trägerelement des Hänge- bzw. Regalsystems befestigt zu werden. Die Befestigung kann durch Aufklipsen auf die Stromschiene oder mittels einer Einrichtung erfolgen, die eine Dreharretierung des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Stromschiene ermöglicht. Die Stromschiene selbst kann unmittelbar an einer Regalrückwand durch Anschrauben oder bei einer metallenen Rückwand mittels Magnete, z.B. mittels eines an der Rückfläche der Stromschiene zusätzlich angebrachten Magnetbands, montiert werden.A similar electrification system is known from practice, in which the power take-off module is set up to be attached to the power rail and not to the support element of the hanging or shelf system. It can be fastened by clipping it onto the busbar or by means of a device which enables the current collection module to be locked in rotation on the busbar. The power rail itself can be mounted directly on the rear wall of the shelf by screwing it on or, on a metal rear wall, by means of magnets, for example by means of a magnetic tape that is additionally attached to the rear surface of the power rail.
Die Montage an Metallwänden, die häufig in hier relevanten Hänge- und/oder Regalsystemen verwendet werden, gestaltet sich schnell und einfach. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass hierzu gesonderte Magnete oder ein gesondertes Magnetband an der Rückfläche der Stromschiene vormontiert werden müssen bzw. muss, was einen zusätzlichen Vorgang und Aufwand bei der Herstellung oder der Endmontage bedeutet, der zu vermeiden wäre.Installation on metal walls, which are often used in the relevant hanging and / or shelving systems, is quick and easy. However, it is disadvantageous that for this purpose separate magnets or a separate magnetic tape must or must be preassembled on the rear surface of the busbar, which means an additional process and effort in production or final assembly that would have to be avoided.
Darüber hinaus ist aus der
Ein weiteres Problem, das bei bekannten Elektrifizierungssystemen zur Versorgung von Hänge- bzw. Regalsystemen mit Gleichspannungsenergie vorkommen kann, besteht darin, dass die Stromabnahmemodule versehentlich falsch herum an dem Trägerelement eines Hänge- bzw. Regalsystems oder an der Stromschiene bzw. Streifenleitung befestigt werden können, so dass die Abgriffkontakte mit den Stromleitern der Stromschiene bzw. Streifenleitung der falschen Polarität in Kontakt gelangen. Dies kann günstigstenfalls zur Nichtfunktion eines zu versorgenden elektrischen Gerätes führen, die durch Ummontage des Stromabnahmemoduls behoben werden kann. Die Verpolung kann aber auch eine Beschädigung an dem Gerät zur Folge haben. Maßnahmen, um Fehler bei der Montage und Handhabung der Stromschiene bzw. Streifenleitung, einschließlich einer Verpolung und/oder einer versehentlichen Kurzschließung der Stromleiter, zu vermeiden, wären erwünscht.Another problem that can occur with known electrification systems for supplying hanging or shelf systems with direct voltage energy is that the power take-off modules can inadvertently be attached the wrong way round to the carrier element of a hanging or shelf system or to the power rail or stripline, so that the pick-off contacts come into contact with the conductors of the busbar or stripline of the wrong polarity. At best, this can lead to a non-functioning of an electrical device to be supplied, which can be remedied by re-assembling the current collection module. However, the reverse polarity can also damage the device. Measures to avoid errors in the assembly and handling of the busbar or stripline, including polarity reversal and / or accidental short-circuiting of the conductors, would be desirable.
Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem mit einem Elektrifizierungssystem zu schaffen, das es ermöglicht, elektrische Geräte an unterschiedlichen Trägerelementen des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem zu integrieren, das einfach und kostengünstig aufgebaut ist und zur Verwendung mit metallenen Regalwandelementen besonders geeignet ist. Insbesondere sollte das Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem mit dem Elektrifizierungssystem vorzugsweise eine aufwandsarme Einrichtung der Elektrifizierung und eine leichte und sichere Herstellung einer korrekten elektrischen Verbindung beim Montieren, Ein- oder Umhängen von Trägerelementen an dem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem an verschiedenen Positionen ermöglichen.Based on this, the object of the invention is to create a hanging and / or shelving system with an electrification system that enables electrical devices to be integrated on different support elements of the hanging and / or shelving system, which is simple and inexpensive and can be used with metal shelf wall elements is particularly suitable. In particular, the hanging and / or shelving system with the electrification system should preferably enable a low-cost electrification set-up and easy and safe production of a correct electrical connection when mounting, hanging or relocating support elements on the hanging and / or shelving system at different positions.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a hanging and / or shelving system with the features of claim 1. Particularly advantageous Embodiments are the subject of the subclaims.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem mit wenigstens einem Wandelement, einem Trägerelement und einem Elektrifizierungssystem geschaffen. Das Wandelement ist aus einem magnetischen oder magnetisierbaren Material ausgebildet und im Wesentlichen vertikal angeordnet. Das Trägerelement ist zur Halterung von Gegenständen eingerichtet und an dem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem montierbar.According to the invention, a hanging and / or shelving system with at least one wall element, a carrier element and an electrification system is created. The wall element is made of a magnetic or magnetizable material and is arranged essentially vertically. The carrier element is designed to hold objects and can be mounted on the hanging and / or shelving system.
Das Elektrifizierungssystem weist eine Streifenleitung und ein Stromabnahmemodul auf. Die Streifenleitung weist einen bandförmigen Träger und wenigstens zwei in dem Träger, längs dessen und im Abstand zueinander angeordnete elektrische Leiter auf, die elektrischen Strom leiten können. Der Träger weist eine Rückseite zur Montage an dem Wandelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems und eine Vorderseite auf, durch die die wenigstens zwei elektrischen Leiter von außen zugänglich sind. Der Träger ist einstückig aus einem magnetischen und elektrisch isolierenden Material ausgebildet. Die Streifenleitung besteht nur aus dem Träger und den darin eingebetteten elektrischen Leitern. Die Streifenleitung ist dazu eingerichtet und bestimmt, mit ihrer Rückseite unmittelbar auf einem Wandelement, das aus einem magnetischen oder magnetisierbaren Material ausgebildet ist, des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems angebracht und alleine durch die magnetische Haltekraft des magnetischen bandförmigen Trägers der Streifenleitung an dem Wandelement gehalten zu sein. Das Stromabnahmemodul weist ein Gehäuse, das einen Innenraum definiert, und wenigstens zwei Abgriffkontakte zur Kontaktierung der wenigstens zwei elektrischen Leiter der Streifenleitung auf. Die Abgriffkontakte sind in dem Innenraum des Gehäuses gelagert und ragen abschnittsweise über eine Stirnfläche des Gehäuses aus diesem nach außen heraus. Die Abgriffkontakte sind derart federnd eingerichtet und angeordnet, dass sie durch eine externe Kraft in das Gehäuse weiter hinein und bei Ausbleiben der externen Kraft durch die Federkraft aus dem Gehäuse weiter heraus drückbar sind.The electrification system has a stripline and a power collection module. The stripline has a strip-shaped carrier and at least two electrical conductors, which are arranged in the carrier, along and at a distance from one another, and which can conduct electrical current. The carrier has a rear side for mounting on the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system and a front side through which the at least two electrical conductors are accessible from the outside. The carrier is formed in one piece from a magnetic and electrically insulating material. The stripline consists only of the carrier and the electrical conductors embedded in it. The stripline is set up and intended to be attached with its rear side directly to a wall element made of a magnetic or magnetizable material of the hanging and / or shelf system and held on the wall element solely by the magnetic holding force of the magnetic strip-shaped carrier of the stripline to be. The current collection module has a housing which defines an interior space, and at least two tap contacts for contacting the at least two electrical conductors of the stripline. The pick-off contacts are mounted in the interior of the housing and in sections protrude outwardly from an end face of the housing. The tap contacts are set up resiliently in this way and arranged that they can be pushed further into the housing by an external force and further out of the housing by the spring force in the absence of the external force.
Die Streifenleitung des Elektrifizierungssystems ist, vorzugsweise in einer im Wesentlichen senkrechten Ausrichtung, mit ihrer Rückseite flächig auf dem Wandelement angebracht und alleine durch die magnetische Haftkraft des magnetischen bandförmigen Trägers der Streifenleitung an dem Wandelement gehalten. Die Streifenleitung ist über Anschlussmittel mit einer elektrischen Energiequelle, vorzugsweise einer Niedervolt-Gleichspannungsquelle verbindbar oder verbunden. Das Stromabnahmemodul ist an dem bandförmigen Träger der Streifenleitung lösbar befestigbar, wobei im befestigten Zustand des Stromabnahmemoduls die wenigstens zwei Abgriffkontakte des Stromabnahmemoduls in Bezug auf ihre unbelastete Ruhestellung in das Gehäuse eingedrückt und durch die Federkraft nach außen, in sicheren leitenden Kontakt mit den zugehörigen elektrischen Leitern vorgespannt sind, um eine Stromentnahme von diesen zu ermöglichen.The stripline of the electrification system is, preferably in a substantially vertical orientation, attached with its rear side flat on the wall element and held on the wall element solely by the magnetic adhesive force of the magnetic strip-shaped carrier of the stripline. The stripline can be or is connected to an electrical energy source, preferably a low-voltage direct voltage source, via connection means. The power take-off module can be releasably attached to the strip-shaped carrier of the stripline, with the at least two pick-up contacts of the power take-off module being pressed into the housing in relation to their unloaded rest position in the attached state of the power take-off module and pushed outwards by the spring force into secure conductive contact with the associated electrical conductors are biased to allow power to be drawn from them.
Das Elektrifizierungssystem des erfindungsgemäßen Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems verwendet somit keine Schlitzträger, Trägerprofilschienen oder dgl., um darin elektrische Leiter zu integrieren. Vielmehr wird eine bahn- oder streifenförmige Stromleitung unmittelbar auf eine Vorderfläche einer Rückwand oder eines gesonderten Wandelementes des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems vorzugsweise in vertikaler Anordnung montiert. Die Streifenleitung ist zur Anbringung an magnetische oder magnetisierbare metallene Wandelemente, z.B. aus Eisen, Eisenlegierungen, Stahl, etc., wie sie bei Hänge- und/oder Regalsystemen weit verbreitet sind, besonders geeignet, weil ihr magnetischer Träger eine direkte Montage an derartigen Wandelementen allein durch die magnetische Haftkraft, ohne irgendwelche zusätzlichen Hilfsmittel, wie Klebebänder, Schrauben oder dgl., ermöglicht. Das Material des Trägers der Streifenleitung ist erfindungsgemäß ferner elektrisch isolierend, so dass die elektrischen Leiter unmittelbar in dem Träger eingebettet sein können, ohne dass zusätzliche Isolatorelemente oder -schichten erforderlich oder vorhanden sind, um die Leiter gegen den Träger und/oder gegeneinander elektrisch zu isolieren. Indem der Träger so mehrere Funktionen erfüllt, z.B. eine vereinfachte direkte Montage an einer Metallwand ermöglicht, der Streifenleitung strukturellen Halt bietet, eine Haltebasis für die elektrischen Leiter bereitstellt und für die erforderliche elektrische Isolierung der Stromleiter sorgt, können weitere Materialien und Mittel hierfür eingespart werden. Die Streifenleitung besteht nur aus dem Träger und den darin eingebetteten elektrischen Leitern.The electrification system of the hanging and / or shelving system according to the invention thus does not use any slot supports, support profile rails or the like in order to integrate electrical conductors therein. Rather, a web-shaped or strip-shaped power line is mounted directly on a front surface of a rear wall or a separate wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system, preferably in a vertical arrangement. The stripline is particularly suitable for attachment to magnetic or magnetizable metal wall elements, for example made of iron, iron alloys, steel, etc., as they are widely used in hanging and / or shelf systems, because its magnetic carrier allows direct mounting on such wall elements Simply by the magnetic adhesive force, without any additional aids such as adhesive tapes, screws or the like., Made possible. The material of the carrier of the stripline is furthermore electrically insulating according to the invention, so that the electrical conductors can be embedded directly in the carrier without additional insulator elements or layers being required or present in order to electrically isolate the conductors from the carrier and / or from one another . Since the carrier fulfills several functions, e.g. enables a simplified direct mounting on a metal wall, the stripline offers structural support, provides a support base for the electrical conductors and provides the necessary electrical insulation of the electrical conductors, additional materials and resources can be saved for this. The stripline consists only of the carrier and the electrical conductors embedded in it.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen kann der bandförmige Träger der Streifenleitung aus einem permanentmagnetischen Kunststoffmaterial bestehen. Hierzu sind vielfältige derartige Materialien, die hier geeignet und erhältlich sind, wie nachstehend angegeben, bekannt. Ein Fachmann wird aber auch heutzutage bekannte Nichtkunststoffe, wie etwa Keramiken, z.B. auf Basis von Nickeloxid, oder andere künftig entwickelte Werkstoffe, die sowohl magnetisch als auch elektrisch isolierend und hier verwendbar sind, erkennen und berücksichtigen.In preferred embodiments, the strip-shaped carrier of the stripline can consist of a permanent magnetic plastic material. A wide variety of such materials, which are suitable and obtainable here, as indicated below, are known for this purpose. However, a person skilled in the art will also recognize and take into account non-plastics known today, such as ceramics, e.g. based on nickel oxide, or other materials that will be developed in the future, which are both magnetically and electrically insulating and can be used here.
Das permanentmagnetische Kunststoffmaterial kann z.B. in einen Kunststoffbinder eingebettetes pulverförmiges Permanentmagnetmaterial aufweisen. Der Kunststoffbinder kann insbesondere ein thermoplastischer Binder, vorzugsweise auf Basis von Polyethylen (PE), insbesondere chloriertem Polyethylen (CPE), Polyamid (PA) oder Polyphenylsulfid (PPS), oder ein Duroplast, vorzugsweise auf Epoxidharzbasis, sein. Das Permanentmagnetmaterial ist vorzugsweise ein Hartferrit, insbesondere Barium- oder Strontiumferrit. Es könnten auch Seltenerdmetalle, wie etwa Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) oder Neodym-Eisen-Bor (NdFeB) und deren Leigerungen, oder Alnico (AlNiCo) - Legierungen (Legierungen von Eisen mit Aluminium, Nickel und Cobalt sowie Kupfer) für das Permanentmagnetmaterial verwendet werden, sofern deren Konzentration und Verteilung passend gewählt ist, um bei den hier vorgesehen Anwendungen, insbesondere zur Gleichspannungsenergieversorgung der Hänge- und/oder Regalsysteme im Niedervoltbereich (z.B. bei 12 Volt oder 24 Volt Gleichspannung) eine hinreichende elektrische Isolierung der elektrischen Leiter gegen die metallene Rückwand des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems wie auch gegeneinander sicherzustellen. Der bandförmige Träger kann besonders bevorzugt im Extrudier-, Spritzguss- oder im Formpressverfahren hergestellt sein.The permanent magnetic plastic material can, for example, have powdery permanent magnet material embedded in a plastic binder. The plastic binder can in particular be a thermoplastic binder, preferably based on polyethylene (PE), in particular chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), polyamide (PA) or polyphenyl sulfide (PPS), or a thermoset, preferably based on epoxy resin. The permanent magnet material is preferably a hard ferrite, in particular barium or strontium ferrite. Rare earth metals such as samarium cobalt (SmCo) or neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) and their alloys, or Alnico (AlNiCo) alloys (alloys of iron with aluminum, nickel and cobalt and copper) could also be used for the permanent magnet material If their concentration and distribution is chosen appropriately, in the applications envisaged here, in particular for the DC power supply of the hanging and / or shelf systems in the low-voltage range (e.g. 12 volts or 24 volts DC voltage), there is sufficient electrical insulation of the electrical conductors from the metal Ensure the rear wall of the hanging and / or shelving system as well as against each other. The strip-shaped carrier can particularly preferably be produced by extrusion, injection molding or compression molding.
In vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen eines jeden beliebigen vorstehend erwähnten Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems kann die Rückseite des bandförmigen Trägers eine flache Rückfläche aufweisen, die eine flächige Montage an einem Wandelement ermöglicht und die magnetische Haftung fördert. Der bandförmige Träger kann wenigstens zwei längs des Trägers, im Abstand und parallel zueinander verlaufende Schlitze aufweisen. In den Schlitzen können die wenigstens zwei Leiter oder Leiterbahnen aufgenommen sein, die vorzugsweise aus Neusilber oder auch aus Kupfer oder einem anderen gut leitfähigen Material ausgebildet und zur Niederspannungseinspeisung geeignet sind.In advantageous embodiments of any of the above-mentioned hanging and / or shelving systems, the rear side of the band-shaped carrier can have a flat rear surface, which enables flat mounting on a wall element and promotes magnetic adhesion. The band-shaped carrier can have at least two slots running along the carrier, at a distance from and parallel to one another. The at least two conductors or conductor tracks, which are preferably made of nickel silver or also of copper or another highly conductive material and are suitable for low-voltage feed, can be accommodated in the slots.
Die elektrischen Leiter können in den Schlitzen des Trägers gegenüber der äußeren Oberfläche des Trägers bündig eingelassen oder vorzugsweise leicht zurückversetzt aufgenommen sein, um einen gewissen Schutz gegen Kurzschlüsse und gegen versehentliche Berührung der Leiter zu bieten.The electrical conductors can be embedded flush in the slots of the carrier opposite the outer surface of the carrier or, preferably, received slightly set back in order to offer a certain protection against short circuits and against accidental contact with the conductors.
In einer Weiterbildung der Streifenleitung können Durchtrittsspalte in der Vorderseite der Trägers, die Zugang zu den elektrischen Leitern bieten, durch Abdeckmittel abgedeckt bzw. im Wesentlichen verschlossen sein, um einen zusätzlichen Berührungsschutz und Kurzschlussschutz zu schaffen. Die Abdeckmittel können vorzugsweise einstückig an dem Träger angeformt und derart nachgiebig ausgebildet sein, dass sie bei Belastung durch die federnd vorgespannten Abgriffkontakte zumindest lokal öffnen, um die Abgriffkontakte zu den elektrischen Leitern hindurchtreten zu lassen. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform können die Abdeckmittel durch elastisch verbiegbare Lippen gebildet sein, die sich ausgehend von den gegenüberliegenden Rändern eines Durchtrittsspaltes im Wesentlichen bündig mit der Vorderfläche des Trägers aufeinander zu erstecken und deren freie Enden einander berühren oder annnähernd berühren. Bei Belastung durch eine äußere Kraft, z.B. durch die Abgriffkontakte, können die Lippen wegklappen, um Zugang zu dem jeweiligen elektrische Leiter zu schaffen.In a further development of the stripline, passage gaps in the front side of the carrier, which provide access to the electrical conductors, can be covered or essentially closed by covering means in order to provide additional protection against accidental contact and short-circuit protection. The covering means can preferably be integrally formed on the carrier and be designed to be resilient in such a way that, when loaded by the resiliently prestressed tapping contacts, they open at least locally in order to allow the tapping contacts to pass through to the electrical conductors. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the cover means can be formed by elastically bendable lips which, starting from the opposite edges of a passage gap, extend essentially flush with the front surface of the carrier and whose free ends touch or approximately touch one another. When subjected to an external force, e.g. through the tap contacts, the lips can fold away to provide access to the respective electrical conductor.
Vorzugsweise können die wenigstens zwei elektrischen Leiter in dem Träger nur durch Formschluss aufgenommen und gehaltert sein. Bspw. können im Querschnitt rechteckige Schlitze in dem Träger und hierzu passende, im Querschnitt rechteckige Leiter vorgesehen sein. Die Leiter können von einem Längsende der Streifenleitung aus in die Schlitze eingezogen und darin unverlierbar gehalten werden. Zusätzliche Halte- oder Haftmittel sind nicht erforderlich, wenngleich möglich. Die Streifenleitung ist vorzugsweise frei von Klebemitteln, mechanischen Sicherungsmitteln und zusätzlichen Isoliermitteln.The at least two electrical conductors can preferably only be received and retained in the carrier by means of a form fit. For example, slots with a rectangular cross section can be provided in the carrier and matching conductors with a rectangular cross section. The conductors can be drawn into the slots from one longitudinal end of the stripline and held captive therein. Additional holding means or adhesives are not required, although possible. The stripline is preferably free of adhesives, mechanical securing means and additional insulating means.
Prinzipiell kann das Stromabnahmemodul des Elektrifizierungssystems zur Befestigung an einem Trägerelement eines Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems eingerichtet sein. Bevorzugterweise weist das Stromabnahmemodul jedoch Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung an der Streifenleitung auf. Das Stromabnahmemodul kann dann von dem Trägerelement unabhängig konstruiert sein.In principle, the power take-off module of the electrification system can be set up for attachment to a carrier element of a hanging and / or shelving system. However, the current collection module preferably has fastening means for fastening on the stripline. The current collection module can then be constructed independently of the carrier element.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weisen die Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung an der Streifenleitung Flügelelemente auf, die an dem Gehäuse integral angeformt und nach Art zweiseitiger Hebel ausgebildet sind. Die Flügelelemente sind über als Anlenkstellen dienende Stege an gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen des Gehäuses verschwenkbar angebracht, so dass Vorderarme der Flügelelemente, die über die Stirnfläche des Gehäuses hinausragen, und Hinterarme der Flügelelemente definiert sind, die im Bereich und entlang der Seitenflächen des Gehäuses des Stromabnahmemoduls verlaufen.In an advantageous embodiment, the fastening means for fastening to the stripline have wing elements which are integrally formed on the housing and are designed in the manner of bilateral levers. The wing elements are pivotably attached to opposite side surfaces of the housing via webs serving as articulation points, so that front arms of the wing elements, which protrude beyond the end face of the housing, and rear arms of the wing elements are defined, which run in the area and along the side surfaces of the housing of the current collection module.
Die Hinterarme der Flügelelemente können eingerichtet sein, um von Hand ergriffen und gegen das Gehäuse des Stromabnahmemoduls oder von diesem weg verschwenkt zu werden, um dadurch die Vorderarme um eine längs der Stege definierte Achse zu verschwenken. Ferner können die Vorderarme eingerichtet sein, um durch Verschwenkung mit ihnen zugeordneten Abschnitten des bandförmigen Trägers in Eingriff zu kommen, um das Stromabnahmemodul an diesem zu sichern, und außer Eingriff zu kommen, um das Stromabnahmemodul von dem Träger abnehmen zu können. Dies unterstützt eine einfache, schnelle und intuitive Handhabung zur Sicherung des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Streifenleitung. Die Flügelelemente können in Bezug auf die Seitenflächen des Stromabnehmergehäuses leicht schräggestellt sein, um die Handhabung weiter zu erleichtern.The rear arms of the wing elements can be designed to be gripped by hand and pivoted towards the housing of the power collection module or away from it, in order thereby to pivot the front arms about an axis defined along the webs. Furthermore, the front arms can be designed to come into engagement, by pivoting, with sections of the band-shaped carrier assigned to them in order to secure the current collection module thereon, and to come out of engagement in order to be able to remove the current collection module from the carrier. This supports simple, fast and intuitive handling for securing the power take-off module on the stripline. The wing elements can be tilted slightly with respect to the side surfaces of the current collector housing in order to further facilitate handling.
Für eine einfache und sichere Eingriffsverbindung können an der Vorderseite des bandförmigen Trägers seitlich wegragende Eingriffsleisten angeformt sein, die längs der Streifenleitung verlaufen, während an den Vorderarmen der Flügelelemente Eingriffshaken oder -klauen angeformt sein können, die passend gestaltet sind, um die Eingriffsleisten zu hintergreifen bzw. klemmend zu umgreifen. Das Stromabnahmemodul kann dann leicht und schnell auf den Träger aufgeklipst werden.For a simple and secure engagement connection, laterally protruding engagement strips can be formed on the front side of the band-shaped carrier, which run along the stripline, while engagement hooks or claws can be formed on the front arms of the wing elements that fit are designed to reach behind or grip around the engagement strips. The power take-off module can then be easily and quickly clipped onto the carrier.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen eines beliebigen vorstehend erwähnten Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems kann das Gehäuse des Stromabnahmemoduls gemeinsam mit den Flügelelementen einstückig, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, z.B. im Spritzgussverfahren oder durch additive Fertigung, hergestellt sein. Das Gehäuse kann wenigstens eine Durchtrittsöffnung für die Abgriffkontakte an der Stirnfläche des Gehäuses und wenigstens einen Ausgangsanschluss mit wenigstens einem Paar Anschlusskontakte aufweisen. Die Anschlusskontakte sind mit den Abgriffkontakten elektrisch verbunden und von der Außenseite des Gehäuses aus zugänglich, um mit Anschlusskontakten einer Verbindungsleitung zur Versorgung eines elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerätes an einem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem verbunden zu werden. Der wenigstens eine Ausgangsanschluss kann zweckmäßigerweise als eine Steckverbindereinrichtung, vorzugsweise in Form einer Steckerbuchse mit Kontaktstiften, ausgebildet sein.In preferred embodiments of any of the above-mentioned hanging and / or shelving systems, the housing of the power take-off module can be produced in one piece together with the wing elements, preferably from plastic, e.g. by injection molding or by additive manufacturing. The housing can have at least one passage opening for the tapping contacts on the end face of the housing and at least one output connection with at least one pair of connection contacts. The connection contacts are electrically connected to the tapping contacts and are accessible from the outside of the housing in order to be connected to connection contacts of a connecting line for supplying an electrical or electronic device on a hanging and / or shelf system. The at least one output connection can expediently be designed as a plug connector device, preferably in the form of a plug socket with contact pins.
In jedem beliebigen vorstehend erwähnten Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem können die Abgriffkontakte einfach durch umgebogene erste Endabschnitte von Drahtstücken gebildet sein, die durch die wenigstens eine Durchtrittsöffnung des Stromabnehmergehäuses hindurchtreten, wobei die Drahtstücke ausgehend von den Abgriffkontakten zurück zu dem Gehäuse, bspw. schräg verlaufen, vorzugsweise mehrfach gebogen und mit ihren zweiten Endabschnitten im Innern des Gehäuses fixiert sind. Die Drahtstücke können derart federelastisch sein, dass die Abgriffkontakte bei einer Belastung durch eine externe Kraft in das Gehäuse vollständig hinein verschwenkbar sind und bei Entlastung eigenelastisch wieder aus dem Gehäuse herausschwenken.In any of the above-mentioned hanging and / or shelving systems, the tapping contacts can simply be formed by bent first end sections of pieces of wire which pass through the at least one passage opening of the current collector housing, the wire pieces starting from the tapping contacts running back to the housing, for example at an angle , are preferably bent several times and fixed with their second end sections in the interior of the housing. The wire pieces can be resiliently elastic in such a way that the tapping contacts can be pivoted completely into the housing when a load is applied by an external force and pivot out of the housing again in an inherently elastic manner when the load is relieved.
Die Drahtstücke können jeweils einen Abschnitt, z.B. den zweiten Endabschnitt, aufweisen, der in passenden Lagerabschnitten im Innern des Gehäuses verliersicher gehaltert ist. Die freien Enden der zweiten Endabschnitte der Drahtstücke können die Anschlusskontakte, z.B. Kontaktstifte, eines von außen zugänglichen Steckverbinder-Ausgangsanschlusses bilden.The wire pieces can each have a section, for example the second end section, which is held captively in matching bearing sections inside the housing. The free ends of the second end sections of the wire pieces can form the connection contacts, e.g. contact pins, of an externally accessible connector output connection.
In einer modifizierten Ausführungsform des Stromabnahmemoduls kann das Gehäuse zwei oder mehrere von außen zugängliche Steckverbinder-Ausgangsanschlüsse mit jeweils wenigstens einem ersten und einem zweiten Anschlusskontakt, z.B. Kontaktstift, aufweisen. In dem Innenraum des Stromabnahmemoduls kann eine Platine angeordnet sein, die wenigstens eine erste und eine zweite Leiterbahn aufweist. Die Drahtstücke und die Ausgangskontakte können an der Platine befestigt und angeschlossen sein, um mehrere parallele Stromkreise zu bilden. D.h., erste Anschlusskontakte aller Steckverbinder-Ausgangsanschlüsse können über eine von der wenigstens einen ersten und zweiten Leiterbahn mit demjenigen einen der Drahtstücke leitend verbunden sind, das zum Stromabgriff von einem ersten Leiter der Streifenleitung, z.B. mit einer ersten Polarität, bestimmt ist, während zweite Anschlusskontakte aller Steckverbinder-Ausgangsanschlüsse über eine andere von der wenigstens einen ersten und zweiten Leiterbahn mit demjenigen anderen der Drahtstücke leitend verbunden sind, das zum Stromabgriff von einem zweiten Leiter der Streifenleitung, z.B. mit einer zweiten Polarität, bestimmt ist. Damit können zwei oder mehrere elektrische Geräte über ein einziges Stromabnahmemodul parallel an die Streifenleitung angeschlossen werden.In a modified embodiment of the current collection module, the housing can have two or more externally accessible plug connector output connections, each with at least a first and a second connection contact, for example a contact pin. A circuit board which has at least a first and a second conductor track can be arranged in the interior of the current collection module. The pieces of wire and output contacts can be attached to the board and connected to form multiple parallel circuits. That is, the first connection contacts of all connector output connections can be conductively connected via one of the at least one first and second conductor track to that one of the wire pieces that is intended for power tapping from a first conductor of the stripline, e.g. with a first polarity, while second connection contacts of all connector output connections are conductively connected via another of the at least one first and second conductor track to that other of the wire pieces which is intended for current tapping from a second conductor of the stripline, for example with a second polarity. This allows two or more electrical devices to be connected in parallel to the stripline via a single power take-off module.
In vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems einer beliebigen der vorstehend erläuterten Art können die Streifenleitung und das Stromabnahmemodul komplementäre Formgestaltungsmerkmale aufweisen, die einen mechanischen Verpolungsschutz bieten. Insbesondere können die komplementären Formgestaltungsmerkmale derart eingerichtet sein, dass sie eine Anbringung des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Streifenleitung nur in einer vorgegebenen zulässigen Ausrichtung gestatten, in der die Abgriffkontakte jeweils mit einem fest zugeordneten Leiter der Streifenleitung, z.B. einem Gleichspannungsversorgungs-Leiter einer bestimmten Polarität, in Kontakt gelangen, während sie eine Anbringung in einer umgekehrten Ausrichtung, in der die Abgriffkontakte jeweils mit dem anderen Leiter der Streifenleitung, z.B. einem Gleichspannungsversorgungs-Leiter mit umgekehrter Polarität, in Kontakt gelangen würden, verhindern. Eine Falschpolung eines mit Gleichspannung beschalteten elektrischen Gerätes und damit verbundene Funktionsprobleme oder Beschädigungen können wirksam vermieden werden.In advantageous developments of the hanging and / or shelving system of any of the types explained above, the stripline and the power take-off module can be complementary Have design features that offer mechanical reverse polarity protection. In particular, the complementary design features can be set up in such a way that they only allow the power take-off module to be attached to the stripline in a predefined permissible orientation in which the tapping contacts are each in contact with a permanently assigned conductor of the stripline, e.g. a DC voltage supply conductor of a certain polarity arrive, while they prevent attachment in a reverse orientation in which the tapping contacts would come into contact with the other conductor of the stripline, for example a DC voltage supply conductor with reversed polarity. Incorrect polarity of an electrical device connected to DC voltage and the associated functional problems or damage can be effectively avoided.
In einer vorteilhaften Realisierung des Verpolungsschutzes können die Formgestaltungsmerkmale eine in der Vorderseite des bandförmigen Trägers ausgebildete, gegenüber der Vorderfläche vertiefte Nut, die längs der Streifenleitung parallel zu den elektrischen Leitern verläuft, und einen zugehörigen Vorsprung, z.B. in Form einer länglichen vorspringenden Rippe, aufweisen, der an der Stirnfläche des Stromabnahmemoduls vorzugsweise integral ausgebildet ist. Der Vorsprung ist passend bemessen und angeordnet, um in die Nut hineinzuragen, wenn das Stromabnahmemodul an der Streifenleitung in einer korrekten Ausrichtung in Bezug auf diese angebracht ist. Eine umgekehrte Konfiguration mit einer Nut an dem Stromabnahmemodul und einem Vorsprung an dem Träger der Streifenleitung sowie andere komplementäre Gestaltungen, z.B. Verformungen, zum Verpolungsschutz sind ebenfalls möglich.In an advantageous implementation of the reverse polarity protection, the design features can have a groove formed in the front side of the strip-shaped carrier, recessed in relation to the front surface, which runs along the stripline parallel to the electrical conductors, and an associated projection, for example in the form of an elongated protruding rib, which is preferably integrally formed on the end face of the current collection module. The protrusion is appropriately sized and arranged to protrude into the groove when the power collection module is attached to the stripline in correct orientation with respect thereto. A reverse configuration with a groove on the current collection module and a projection on the carrier of the stripline as well as other complementary designs, e.g. deformations, for protection against polarity reversal are also possible.

The wall element can also be kinked, bent and otherwise uneven. The wall element is preferably made of a ferromagnetic metal, for example iron, nickel, cobalt, ferromagnetic steel, alloys of these or combinations of these.
Das Trägerelement dient zur Aufhängung, Auflegung oder sonstigen Halterung von Gegenständen, wie Präsentationswaren oder sonstigen Sachen, und kann als ein Tablar, ein Fachboden, ein Korb oder auch als ein Tragarm eingerichtet sein. Das Trägerelement ist an dem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem vorzugsweise lösbar und in unterschiedlichen Höhen an dem Wandelement, an einer Stütze, z.B. einer Regalschiene, oder an einem sonstigen Element des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems montierbar. An dem Trägerelement kann ein elektrisches oder elektronisches Gerät, insbesondere eine Leuchte, angeordnet sein, das über das Elektrifizierungssystem mit Energie versorgt werden kann.The carrier element is used to suspend, lay on or otherwise hold objects, such as presentation goods or other things, and can be set up as a tray, a shelf, a basket or also as a support arm. The carrier element is preferably detachable from the hanging and / or shelving system and can be mounted at different heights on the wall element, on a support, e.g. a shelf rail, or on another element of the hanging and / or shelving system.

Die Streifenleitung des Elektrifizierungssystems ist je nach Wandelement in einer im Wesentlichen senkrechten Ausrichtung mit ihrer Rückfläche flächig auf dem Wandelement montiert. Die Montage und ein sicherer Halt der Streifenleitung an dem Wandelement werden allein durch das magnetische Material des Trägers der Streifenleitung bewerkstelligt. Hierzu sind keine zusätzlichen mechanischen Sicherungs- oder Haftmittel, wie Klebebänder, Schrauben, Nägel, Tackerklammern oder dgl. erforderlich oder vorgesehen. Die elektrische Energiequelle ist vorzugsweise eine Niedervolt-Gleichspannungsquelle, z.B. mit einer Nennspannung von 12 Volt oder 24 Volt.Depending on the wall element, the strip line of the electrification system is mounted flat on the wall element with its rear surface in an essentially perpendicular orientation. The assembly and a secure hold of the stripline on the wall element are brought about solely by the magnetic material of the carrier of the stripline. No additional mechanical securing means or adhesives, such as adhesive tapes, screws, nails, staples or the like, are required for this. required or provided. The electrical energy source is preferably a low-voltage direct voltage source, for example with a nominal voltage of 12 volts or 24 volts.
Das Stromabnahmemodul des Elektrifizierungssystems weist vorzugsweise eine Befestigungseinrichtung zur formschlüssigen und gegebenenfalls kraftschlüssigen Befestigung an dem Träger der Streifenleitung, vorzugsweise die oben erwähnten Flügelelemente zum Aufklipsen auf diese, auf. Die Befestigungseinrichtung kann vorteilhafterweise mit dem Stromabnahmemodul integral ausgebildet sein. Das Stromabnahmemodul kann von dem Trägerelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems unabhängig sein. Die Abgriffkontakte des Stromabnahmemoduls sind derart positioniert und ragen derart aus dem Gehäuse nach außen heraus, dass sie bei einer Montage des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Streifenleitung mit den wenigstens zwei elektrischen Leitern der Streifenleitung an dem Wandelement in Kontakt gelangen, in das Gehäuse hinein verschwenkt und im montierten Zustand durch die Federkraft nach außen, in sicheren leitenden Kontakt mit den zugehörigen elektrischen Leitern gedrückt werden, um eine leitende Verbindung zur Stromentnahme von diesen zu schaffen.The power take-off module of the electrification system preferably has a fastening device for form-fitting and, if necessary, force-fitting fastening to the carrier of the stripline, preferably the above-mentioned wing elements to be clipped onto it. The fastening device can advantageously be formed integrally with the current collection module. The power take-off module can be independent of the carrier element of the hanging and / or shelving system. The tapping contacts of the power take-off module are positioned and protrude outward from the housing in such a way that when the power take-off module is installed on the stripline, they come into contact with the at least two electrical conductors of the stripline on the wall element, pivoted into the housing and mounted inside State by the spring force to the outside, are pressed into safe conductive contact with the associated electrical conductors in order to create a conductive connection for current consumption from these.
Das Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem kann eine beliebige Anzahl verschiedenartiger Trägerelemente aufweisen, die in unterschiedlicher Höhe an dem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem durch Einhängen, Anschrauben oder in sonstiger Weise montiert werden können, wobei der elektrische Anschluss für an den Trägerelementen vorgesehene elektrische Geräte einfach durch Anbringen des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Streifenleitung geschaffen wird.The hanging and / or shelving system can have any number of different types of support elements that can be mounted at different heights on the hanging and / or shelving system by hanging, screwing or in any other way, the electrical connection for electrical devices provided on the support elements is created simply by attaching the current collection module to the stripline.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform eines beliebigen vorstehend erwähnten Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems kann die magnetische Haftkraft des bandförmigen Trägers der Streifenleitung derart bemessen sein und Mittel zur Befestigung, bspw. zum Aufklipsen, und zur Halterung des Stromabnahmemoduls an der Streifenleitung können derart eingerichtet sind, dass bei Ausübung einer das Stromabnahmemodul von der Streifenleitung wegziehenden externen Kraft einer vorgegeben Mindeststärke das Stromabnahmemodul von der Streifenleitung gelöst, z.B. abgeklipst wird, ohne beschädigt zu werden und ohne die Streifenleitung von dem Wandelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems wegzureißen. Z.B. können hierzu passend abgeschrägte oder abgerundete Ecken der Eingriffshaken an den Flügelelementen des Gehäuses des Stromabnahmemoduls vorgesehen sein, die mit zugehörigen abgeschrägten oder abgerundeten Abschnitten an den Eingriffsleisten des bandförmigen Trägers zusammenwirken. Jedenfalls kann ein unbeabsichtigtes Wegreißen der Streifenleitung von dem Wandelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems verhindert werden, wenn versehentlich an dem Stromabnahmemodul oder an einem daran angeschlossenen Stromkabel stark gezogen wird.In a particularly preferred embodiment of any of the above-mentioned hanging and / or shelving systems, the magnetic adhesive force of the strip-shaped carrier of the stripline can be dimensioned in such a way and means for fastening, For example, for clipping on and for holding the power take-off module on the stripline can be set up in such a way that when an external force of a predetermined minimum strength pulls the power take-off module away from the stripline, the current take-off module is detached from the stripline, e.g. clipped off, without being damaged and without to tear away the stripline from the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system. For example, appropriately beveled or rounded corners of the engagement hooks can be provided on the wing elements of the housing of the current collection module, which cooperate with associated beveled or rounded sections on the engagement strips of the band-shaped carrier. In any case, the stripline can be prevented from being inadvertently torn away from the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system if the power take-off module or a power cable connected to it is accidentally pulled strongly.
Ebenso können Abschnitte an den Befestigungsmitteln, z.B. den Eingriffshaken und den Eingriffsleisten, derart passend zueinander abgeschrägt oder abgerundet sein, dass das Stromabnahemodul allein durch Andrücken gegen die Streifenleitung an dieser befestigt werden kann, ohne die Flügelelemente manuell verschwenken zu müssen. Die Flügelelemente können beim Andrücken gegen den Träger der Streifenleitung von sich aus ausweichen, die Eingriffsleisten überwinden und sie hintergreifen.Likewise, sections of the fastening means, e.g. the engagement hooks and the engagement strips, can be chamfered or rounded to match one another in such a way that the power take-off module can be fastened to the stripline simply by pressing it against the stripline without having to manually pivot the wing elements. When pressed against the carrier of the stripline, the wing elements can evade by themselves, overcome the engagement strips and engage behind them.

Die Rückwand 4 ist erfindungsgemäß im Einsatz im Wesentlichen vertikal angeordnet. Sie ist eben, mit einer flachen Vorderfläche 5 ausgebildet, obwohl diese bevorzugte Ausführungsform nicht zwingend erforderlich ist. Die Rückwand 4 könnte auch geknickt, gebogen und in sonstiger Weise uneben ausgebildet sein.According to the invention, the
Die Rückwand 4 ist aus einem magnetischen oder magnetisierbaren Material, insbesondere Metall hergestellt, so dass ein Magnet an ihr befestigt werden kann.

Der Fachboden 6 ist hier ein Tablar, das eine im Wesentlichen ebene Oberseite 7, eine Vorderleiste 8, die an der Vorderkante des Fachbodens 6 angeordnet ist, und eine der Vorderkante gegenüberliegende Hinterkante 9 aufweist, die in der Nähe und entlang der Rückwand 4 verläuft. Wie insbesondere aus
Der Fachboden 6 kann über herkömmliche Winkelkonsolen 13a, 13b, die den Fachboden 6 an dessen Querseiten tragen, an dem Regalsystem 1 in unterschiedlicher Höhe montiert werden. Die Winkelkonsolen 13a,b weisen hierzu in herkömmlicher Weise hakenförmige Fortsätze 14 auf, die in die Schlitze 3 eingehängt werden können. Derartige Winkelkonsolen 13a, 13b sind allgemein bekannt und brauchen hier nicht näher erläutert zu werden. Sie sind auch für die Erfindung als solche nicht wesentlich. Der Fachboden 6 oder ein sonstiges Trägerelement, wie bspw. ein Korb, ein Tragarm oder dgl., könnte in beliebiger Weise, bspw. durch Anschrauben, Verbolzen, durch einfaches Auflegen auf seitliche Trägerleisten und dgl., an einem Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem befestigt werden.The

Der Träger 28 kann bevorzugterweise aus einem permanentmagnetischen Kunststoffmaterial bestehen, das in einen Kunststoffbinder eingebettetes pulverförmiges Permanentmagnetmaterial aufweist (hier nicht veranschaulicht). Der Kunststoffbinder kann ein thermoplastischer Binder, vorzugsweise auf Basis von Polyethylen (PE), insbesondere chloriertem Polyethylen (CPE), Polyamid (PA) oder Polyphenylsulfid (PPS), oder ein Duroplast, vorzugsweise auf Epoxidharzbasis, sein. Das Permanentmagnetmaterial ist bevorzugterweise ein Hartferrit, insbesondere Barium- oder Strontiumferrit. Es könnte auch eine Samarium-Kobalt(SmCo)-Legierung, eine Neodym-Eisen-Bohr(NdFeB)-Legierung, eine Alnico-Legierung (AlNiCo, Legierung von Eisen mit Aluminium, Nickel und Cobalt) oder ein anderer geeigneter heutzutage bekannter oder künftig entwickelter magnetischer Werkstoff sein, der ausreichende Isolatoreigenschaften aufweist oder behandelt werden kann, um diese zu haben. Das Permanentmagnetmaterial könnte auch in Faserform in einer Kunststoffmatrix eingebettet sein. Der Träger 28 kann im Extrudier-, Spritzguss- oder Formpressverfahren hergestellt und nach dem Herstellungsprozess einseitig mehrpolig dauerhaft aufmagnetisiert werden, um eine verbleibende Remanenz von wenigstens 50 mT, vorzugsweise mehr als 100 mT, zu haben.The

Die Leiter 29a,b sind dünne Bleche, bevorzugterweise aus Neusilber, obwohl sie prinzipiell aus Kupfer ausgebildet sein können. Die Leiter 29a,b sind in längs des Trägers 28 verlaufenden, zueinander parallelen Schlitzen 38, 39 untergebracht, die im Inneren des Trägers 28 im Abstand zu der Vorderfläche 37 verlaufen. Die Schlitze 38, 39 sind jeweils über schmale Durchtrittsspalte 41, 42, die in der Vorderfläche 37 ausgebildet sind, mit der Außenumgebung verbunden, so dass die Schlitze 38, 39 und die darin angeordneten elektrischen Leiter 29a,b durch die Durchtrittsspalte 41, 42 von außen zugänglich sind. Die Leiter 29a,b sind so gegenüber der Vorderfläche 37 geringfügig zurückversetzt eingelassen, um einen gewissen Schutz gegen ungewollte Berührung oder Kurzschlüsse zu schaffen.The
Die elektrischen Leiter 29a,b sind in den Schlitzen 38, 39 lediglich formschlüssig gehalten und weisen eine zu der Form der Schlitze 38, 39 passende Form auf. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Schlitze 38, 39 und die Leiter 29a,b im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen rechteckig, obwohl andere zusammenpassende Querschnittsformen möglich sind. Die Leiter 29a,b können von einem Ende der Streifenleitung 22 aus in den Träger 28 eingezogen werden und werden darin durch Formschluss gehalten. Es sind vorzugsweise keine Halte- oder Haftmittel zur Fixierung der Leiter 29a,b in dem Träger 28 erforderlich oder vorhanden.The

Ferner weist der Träger 28 von den Schmalseiten 33, 34 seitlich wegragende Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b auf, die der Sicherung des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 dienen. Die Übergänge der Eingriffsleisten 44a,b zu der Vorderfläche 37 bilden Abrundungen oder Abschrägungen 46a, 46b, die eine Montage des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 erleichtern. Ebenso sind an der Rückseite der äußeren Ränder der Eingriffsleisten 44a,b weitere Abrundungen bzw.

In der Stirnfläche 49 sind zwei zueinander parallele Durchtrittsöffnungen 58, 59 ausgebildet, die den Innenraum 57 des Gehäuses 48 mit der Außenseite verbinden. Die Durchtrittsöffnungen 58, 59 erstrecken sich längs der Stirnfläche 49 von der Oberseite 52 zu der Unterseite 53. Durch die Durchtrittsöffnungen 58, 59 treten zwei Drahtstücke 61, 62 hindurch, die der Stromabnahme von der Streifenleitung 22 dienen und nachstehend im Zusammenhang mit
Im Übrigen ist in der oberen Fläche 52 des Gehäuses 48 eine Öffnung 63 ausgebildet, die einen Steckverbinder-Ausgangsanschluss des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 bildet. Der Ausgangsanschluss 63 ist hier nach Art einer Steckerbuchse ausgebildet, die eingerichtet ist, um einen entsprechenden Stecker bspw. des Verbindungskabels 21 (vgl.
Außerdem sind an dem Gehäuse 48 zwei Flügelelemente 64, 66 angeformt, die der Montage des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 dienen. Insbesondere ist ein Flügelelement 64, 66 auf jeder der Seitenflächen 54, 56 des Gehäuses 48 angeordnet und vorzugsweise einstückig mit dieser ausgebildet, so dass das gesamte Gehäuse 48 in einem Stück, bspw. aus Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren oder durch additive Fertigung hergestellt werden kann. Jedes Flügelelement 64, 66 ist nach Art eines zweiseitigen Hebels ausgebildet und über einen Steg 67 bzw. 68 mit der zugehörigen Seitenfläche 54 bzw. 56 verbunden. Die Stege 67, 68 dienen als Anlenkstellen, um die die Flügelelemente 64, 65 in Bezug auf die Seitenflächen 54, 56 verschwenkbar sind.In addition, two
Die Stege 67, 68 definieren Vorderarme 69, 71 und Hinterarme 72, 73 der Flügelelemente 64, 66, wobei die Vorderarme 69, 71 sich ausgehend von dem Steg 67, 68 in Richtung der Stirnfläche 49 erstrecken und über diese hinausragen, während die Hinterarme 72, 73 sich von dem Steg 67, 68 aus nach hinten, zu der Rückfläche 51 erstrecken. Die Flügelelemente 64, 66 können in Bezug auf die jeweilige Seitenfläche 54 bzw. 56 leicht schräggestellt sein, was eine Handhabung durch Ergreifen der Hinterarme 72, 73 mit einer Hand erleichtert, um die Flügelelemente 64, 66 verschwenken und die Vorderarme 69, 71 an dem Träger 28 der Streifenleitung 22 anklemmen zu können. Hierzu weisen die Vorderarme 69, 71 jeweils als Eingriffshaken oder -klauen 74, 76 ausgebildete Endabschnitte auf, die in der Lage sind, die Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b des Trägers 28 der Streifenleitung 22 zu umgreifen und zu hintergreifen.

Anschließend kann der Fachboden 6 an dem Regalsystem 1 montiert werden. Hierzu werden in gewohnter Weise die Winkelkonsolen 13a, 13b, auf denen der Fachboden 6 montiert ist, in die Schlitze 3 der Regalschienen 2a, 2b, die der gewünschten Höhe entsprechen, eingehängt. Im Allgemeinen werden die Winkelkonsolen 13a, 13b mit ihren Eingriffshaken 14 in leicht nach unten geneigter Stellung in die Stütze 3 eingeführt und anschließend nach unten verschwenkt, bis sich die Konsolen 13a, 13b gegen die Regalschienen 2a, 2b abstützen und der Fachboden 6 sicher an diesen gehalten ist.The
Anschließend kann das Stromabnahmemodul 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 fixiert werden. Hierzu kann ein Benutzer die Flügelelemente 64, 66 des Gehäuses 48 des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an den Hinterarmen 72, 73 mit der Hand ergreifen und leicht zusammendrücken, um die Vorderarme 69, 71 der Flügelelemente 64, 66 soweit nach außen zu verschwenken, bis die Öffnungsweite zwischen den Eingriffshaken 74, 76 der Flügelelemente 64, 66 gleich oder größer als die Breite des Trägers 28, gemessen zwischen den äußeren Enden der Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b, ist. Dann kann das Stromabnahmemodul 19 gegen die Streifenleitung 22 angedrückt werden, bis die Eingriffshaken 74, 76 der Flügelelemente 64, 66 die Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b des Trägers 28 passieren und hintergreifen. Durch Loslassen der Flügelelemente 64, 66 wird der Träger 28 von den Vorderarmen 68, 71 des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 klemmend umgriffen und das Stromabnahmemodul 19 an dem Träger 28 sicher gehalten.The
Wenn die Eingriffshaken 74, 76 der Flügelelemente 64, 66 in die Nähe der Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b gelangen und diese überwinden, kommen gleichzeitig die Abgriffkontakte 81a, 81b, die in dem Ausgangszustand nach
Mit dem Sichern des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 wird auch gleichzeitig der elektrische Kontakt zwischen den elektrischen Leitern 29a,b der Streifenleitung 22 und den Abgriffkontakten 81a,b hergestellt, wodurch der jeweilige Stromkreis geschlossen wird, zu dem die Drahtstücke 61, 62, die Verbindungsleitung 21 und die Leuchte 16 oder dgl. gehören. Die durch die Elastizität der Drahtstücke 61, 62 bedingte Federkraft drückt die Abgriffkontakte 81a, 81b fest gegen die Leiter 29a,b, so dass ein dauerhafter Kontakt sichergestellt ist, solange das Stromabnahmemodul 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 befestigt ist. Vorteilhafterweise kann das Stromabnahmemodul 19 innerhalb der Reichweite des Verbindungskabels 21 an beliebiger Stelle an der Streifenleitung 22 befestigt werden, um den Stromanschluss zu schaffen. Dies erhöht die Flexibilität gegenüber herkömmlichen Systemen, die nur diskrete Anschlussstellen zulassen.With the securing of the power take-
Soll der Fachboden 6 an einer anderen Stelle an dem Regalsystem 1 eingehängt werden, kann das Stromabnahmemodul 19 schnell von der Streifenleitung 22 gelöst werden, indem die Flügelelemente 64, 66 wieder an den Hinterarmen 72, 73 leicht zusammengedrückt werden, bis die Eingriffshaken 74, 76 die Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b loslassen und das Stromabnahmemodul 19 von der Streifenleitung 22 abgenommen werden kann. Anschließend kann der Fachboden 6 einfach ausgehängt und woanders wieder eingehängt werden, und das Stromabnahmemodul 19 kann entsprechend der vorstehend erläuterten Prozedur in der Nähe des Fachbodens 6 an der Streifenleitung 22 befestigt werden, um den Stromanschluss für die Leuchte 16 herzustellen.If the
Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Modifikationen möglich. Bspw. kann das Gehäuse 48 des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 unterschiedlich ausgebildet werden, weil es von dem Trägerelement des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems unabhängig ist. Es können nicht nur tablarförmige Trägerelemente, wie der Fachboden 6, sondern auch Trägerarme, Körper oder dgl. verwendet und mit dem Elektrifizierungssystem 17 ausgestattet werden. Die Form des Gehäuses 48 muss nicht an das Trägerelement angepasst seinNumerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the
Das Hänge- und/oder Regalsystem muss nicht auf Schlitzträgern basieren. Es kann durch ein beliebiges Möbelstück oder eine Präsentationswand gebildet sein, die auch Tragprofilschienen oder Steckhülsen für Trägerelemente verwenden kann. Die Profilschienen oder Steckhülsen dienen jedoch nicht der Elektrifizierung. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Streifenleitung 22 nicht im Innern einer Regalschiene, einer Trägerprofilschiene oder einer Steckhülse angeordnet, sondern flächig auf der Außenseite eines Wandelementes, z.B. an der Rückwand 4 des Hänge- und/oder Regalsystems 1, angebracht und erfindungsgemäß nur durch die Magnetkraft des Trägers 28 der Streifenleitung 22 gehalten, was den Herstellungs- und Montageaufwand deutlich vereinfacht.The hanging and / or shelving system need not be based on slot supports. It can be formed by any piece of furniture or a presentation wall that can also use support profile rails or sockets for support elements. However, the profile rails or sockets are not used for electrification. According to the invention, the
Es sollte ferner erwähnt werden, dass die Abrundungen bzw. Abschrägungen 46a, 46b an dem Übergang zu der Vorderfläche 37 der Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b auch eine Montage des Stromabnahmemoduls 19 an der Streifenleitung 22 unterstützen können, indem sie mit den gerundeten Hakenenden 77, 78 der Vorderarme 69, 71 in Eingriff gelangen und diese nach außen verdrängen können, bis die Eingriffshaken 74, 76 die Eingriffsleisten 44a, 44b überwinden, ohne dass die Flügelelemente 64, 66 durch den Benutzer ausreichend nach außen verschwenkt werden.It should also be mentioned that the roundings or
