Definitions
- the invention relates to a set for a modular lamp arrangement, a lamp arrangement, a lamp and a method for realizing a lamp arrangement using a set according to the invention.
- Generic sets have several elongated lamp modules, which can be connected to one another and fixed relative to one another to create a lamp arrangement.
- the luminaire modules have a modular structure so that they can be used in a wide range of applications.
- the lamp modules are connected in that they each have a module end section at their module ends, which is designed to be connected to a module end section of a subsequent lamp module.
- the lighting modules are electrically connected to each other.
- generic lamp modules are often fixed in their positions in relation to one another directly adjacent to one another, with fastening means on their module end sections, such as one or more abutment and/or counter-abutment sections, retaining springs, fastening screws and/or the like.
- two lamp modules can be connected to one another to form a lamp arrangement that is in an operating position, in particular with the lamp modules being fixed to one another in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner, with the lamp arrangement also being able to be changed easily and cost-effectively at a later date by means of a modular design using the lamp modules.
- Generic lighting modules often have a device carrier to which various electrical functional elements are attached, such as circuit boards with light sources, in particular LEDs, operating devices, radio modules, optical elements, such as diffusers, reflectors and / or lens elements.
- the lamp modules often include a light exit area from which light generated by the light sources can emerge from the lamp module.
- the light source is usually shielded from the surroundings, so that the lamp module has a translucent area.
- generic lighting modules can be electrically connected to one another in such a way that energy supply and control of the lighting modules of a generic lighting arrangement is made possible by a common central energy supply or control.
- at least one mechanical adapter element that is separate from the lamp modules is usually inserted into receptacles of the lamp modules that correspond to the adapter element and is fixed to these, for example by means of screws, pins or snap hooks.
- at least one electrical adapter element is often inserted into an industry-standard plug-in device of the first and second lighting modules.

Since these luminaire modules are usually to be arranged and installed on ceilings that are several meters away from a non-slip floor, in a position that is difficult to reach, assembly is still time-consuming and dangerous to carry out. Generic sets are also often unsuitable for use without additional devices in environments in which dirt and liquids, such as dust and water, can come into contact with the interconnected lighting modules. Due to the complicated generic connection types, the connection points between the lamp modules often have a poor seal against such environmental influences, so that dirt, moisture and liquids can get into the lamp and damage it.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Set für eine modulare Leuchtenanordnung, eine Leuchtenanordnung, eine Leuchte sowie ein Verfahren zur Realisierung einer Leuchtenanordnung mittels eines erfindungsgemäßen Sets.The invention relates to a set for a modular lamp arrangement, a lamp arrangement, a lamp and a method for realizing a lamp arrangement using a set according to the invention.
Gattungsgemäße Sets weisen mehrere langgestreckte Leuchtenmodule auf, die zu Realisierung einer Leuchtenanordnung miteinander verbindbar und relativ zueinander festlegbar sind. Die Leuchtenmodule sind modular aufgebaut, um in einem breiten Anwendungsspektrum einsetzbar zu sein. Typischerweise werden die Leuchtenmodule dadurch verbunden, dass an sie an ihren Modulenden jeweils einen Modulendabschnitt aufweisen, der ausgebildet ist, mit einem Modulendabschnitt eines anschließenden Leuchtenmoduls verbunden zu werden. Dabei werden die Leuchtenmodule miteinander elektrisch verbunden. Weiterhin sind gattungsgemäße Leuchtenmodule häufig direkt aneinander anliegend in ihren Positionen zueinander festgelegt, wobei sie an ihren Modulendabschnitten Befestigungsmittel, wie beispielsweise einen oder mehrere Anlage- und/oder Gegenanlageabschnitte, Haltefedern, Befestigungsschrauben und/oder dergleichen aufweisen. Mittels der Modulendabschnitte sind zwei Leuchtenmodule zu einer sich in einer Betriebsposition befindlichen Leuchtenanordnung miteinander verbindbar, insbesondere unter kraft- und/oder formschlüssiger Festlegung der Leuchtenmodule zueinander, wobei die Leuchtenanordnung durch eine modulare Bauweise mittels der Leuchtenmodule auch nachträglich einfach und kostengünstig veränderbar ist. Gattungsgemäße Leuchtenmodule weisen häufig einen Geräteträger auf, an dem verschiedene elektrische Funktionselemente befestigt sind, wie beispielsweise Platinen mit Lichtquellen, insbesondere LEDs, Betriebsgeräte, Funkmodule, optische Elemente, wie beispielsweise Diffusoren, Reflektoren und/oder Linsenelemente. Die Leuchtenmodule umfassen häufig einen Lichtaustrittbereich, aus dem von den Lichtquellen erzeugtes Licht aus dem Leuchtenmodul austreten kann. Dabei ist die Lichtquelle meist von der Umgebung abgeschirmt, sodass das Leuchtenmodul einen lichtdurchlässig gestalteten Bereich aufweist. In vielen Ausführungen sind gattungsgemäße Leuchtenmodule derart miteinander elektrisch verbindbar, dass eine Energieversorgung und Ansteuerung der Leuchtenmodule einer gattungsgemäßen Leuchtenanordnung durch eine gemeinsame zentrale Energieversorgung bzw. Steuerung ermöglicht ist. Für die mechanische Verbindung wird meist zumindest ein von den Leuchtenmodulen separates mechanisches Adapterelement in zu dem Adapterelement korrespondierend ausgeführte Aufnahmen der Leuchtenmodule eingeführt und an diesen beispielsweise mittels Schrauben, Stiften oder Schnapphaken festgelegt. Für die elektrische Verbindung wird häufig mindestens ein elektrisches Adapterelement in eine branchenübliche Steckeinrichtung des ersten und des zweiten Leuchtenmoduls eingeführt.Generic sets have several elongated lamp modules, which can be connected to one another and fixed relative to one another to create a lamp arrangement. The luminaire modules have a modular structure so that they can be used in a wide range of applications. Typically, the lamp modules are connected in that they each have a module end section at their module ends, which is designed to be connected to a module end section of a subsequent lamp module. The lighting modules are electrically connected to each other. Furthermore, generic lamp modules are often fixed in their positions in relation to one another directly adjacent to one another, with fastening means on their module end sections, such as one or more abutment and/or counter-abutment sections, retaining springs, fastening screws and/or the like. By means of the module end sections, two lamp modules can be connected to one another to form a lamp arrangement that is in an operating position, in particular with the lamp modules being fixed to one another in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner, with the lamp arrangement also being able to be changed easily and cost-effectively at a later date by means of a modular design using the lamp modules. Generic lighting modules often have a device carrier to which various electrical functional elements are attached, such as circuit boards with light sources, in particular LEDs, operating devices, radio modules, optical elements, such as diffusers, reflectors and / or lens elements. The lamp modules often include a light exit area from which light generated by the light sources can emerge from the lamp module. The light source is usually shielded from the surroundings, so that the lamp module has a translucent area. In many embodiments, generic lighting modules can be electrically connected to one another in such a way that energy supply and control of the lighting modules of a generic lighting arrangement is made possible by a common central energy supply or control. For the mechanical connection, at least one mechanical adapter element that is separate from the lamp modules is usually inserted into receptacles of the lamp modules that correspond to the adapter element and is fixed to these, for example by means of screws, pins or snap hooks. For the electrical connection, at least one electrical adapter element is often inserted into an industry-standard plug-in device of the first and second lighting modules.
Nachteilig ist, dass die gattungsgemäßen Leuchtenmodule durch die vielen verschiedenen erforderlichen Teile, die zum Verbinden der Leuchtenmodule dienen, besonders aufwendig zu montieren sind. Da diese Leuchtenmodule üblicherweise an Decken, die mehrere Meter von einem trittsicheren Boden beabstandet sind, in einer schwer zu erreichenden Lage anzuordnen und zu montieren sind, ist eine Montage weiterhin zeitintensiv und zudem gefährlich durchzuführen. Gattungsgemäße Sets sind zudem häufig ungeeignet, ohne zusätzliche Vorrichtungen in Umgebungen eingesetzt zu werden, in denen Schmutz und Flüssigkeiten, wie Staub und Wasser, in Kontakt mit den miteinander verbundenen Leuchtenmodulen gelangen können. Die Verbindungsstellen zwischen den Leuchtenmodulen weisen aufgrund der komplizierten gattungsgemäßen Verbindungsarten häufig eine mangelhafte Dichtigkeit gegenüber derartigen Umwelteinflüssen auf, sodass Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit und Flüssigkeiten in die Leuchte gelangen und diese beschädigen können. Die Erfindung bezieht sich im besonderen Maße zumindest auch auf solche abgedichteten Leuchten bzw. Leuchtenanordnungen. Beispielsweise ist aus dem Dokument
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zumindest einen der Nachteile gattungsgemäßer Sets, Leuchtenanordnungen, Leuchtmodule und/oder Verfahren zumindest teilweise zu beheben.The present invention is based on the object of at least partially eliminating at least one of the disadvantages of generic sets, lighting arrangements, lighting modules and/or methods.

Insbesondere weisen die Leuchtenmodule jeweils zumindest einen Modulendabschnitt, vorzugsweise zwei Modulendabschnitte auf, mittels der die Leuchtenmodule miteinander verbindbar sind unter Realisierung einer Montageposition.

In particular, the fixing device is movably mounted relative to the plug-in device, in particular to the contact section, in particular to the first module end section of the first lamp module. In particular, the fixing device is rotatably mounted, preferably about an axis that runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, to the contact section, in particular to the plug-in device. The fixing device is movably mounted to the contact section by means of a plain bearing connection. The fixing device is preferably made of plastic and/or metal, in particular as a sheet metal and/or injection molded part. The second lamp module has a fixing device which is fixed in particular relative to the counter-contact section, the fixing device being movable relative to the fixing device starting from the assembly position, in particular while the abutment section and the counter-contact section remain stationary in their relative position to one another, which they hold in the assembly position. In particular, the fixing device is mounted in a detachable manner relative to the contact section, wherein in particular the mounting can be detached by elastically deforming the fixing device and/or the fixing section. The fixing device is, starting from the assembly position, by means of a movement, in particular a rotary movement, in particular a latching movement, relative to the fixing device Intervention can be brought to realize an operating position. The surface contact between the contact surface and the counter-contact surface is maintained during this movement. Preferably, the fixing device can be brought out of engagement relative to the fixing device, starting from the operating position, in particular by means of a similar, opposite movement, in particular while realizing the assembly position. In particular, during the movement of the fixing device relative to the fixing device while realizing the operating position, a relative movement, in particular a sliding movement, takes place between the contact surface and the counter-contact surface to one another and in particular the corresponding electrical plug-in devices to one another, in particular along the longitudinal direction. The corresponding plug-in devices are electrically connected in the operating position. In particular, the plug-in devices each have a plurality of galvanically separated contact points that are spaced apart from one another, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the respective module end section. Preferably, the corresponding plug-in devices are electrically conductively connected to at least some of their contact points during the movement of the fixing device relative to the fixing device to realize the operating position starting from the assembly position; alternatively, they are already electrically conductively connected in the assembled state. In particular, an inhibiting frictional connection is generated between the plug devices during the movement. In particular, the corresponding plug devices are designed to transmit electrical information signals and supply power between each other. In the operating position, the engagement of the fixing device with the fixing device results in a relative position of the lamp modules a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction runs perpendicular to the transverse direction, with the longitudinal direction preferably being assigned to the first module end section of the first lighting module. In particular, in the operating position between the fixing device and the fixing device, a holding force is effective in the longitudinal direction, with the fixing device and the fixing device being applied to one another by the holding force. Preferably, due to the engagement of the fixing device and the fixing device, the mutually facing end faces of the two lamp modules formed by the first module end sections are pressed against one another in the longitudinal direction.

Das erfindungsgemäße Set bringt im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Sets für Leuchtenanordnungen wesentliche Vorteile mit sich. Denn durch das Set ist es ermöglicht, eine Leuchtenanordnung ohne zusätzliches Adapterelemente und damit mit einer relativ geringen Anzahl an Teilen zu realisieren. Dadurch ist eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung des Sets ermöglicht. Die Leuchtenmodule sind an ihren Modulendabschnitten mittels einer einfachen Bewegung verbindbar. Dadurch ist zum einen die erforderliche Montagezeit zum Verbinden der Leuchtenmodule des Sets unter Realisierung der Betriebsposition und zum anderen die Arbeitssicherheit erheblich verbessert, da die zur Realisierung der Betriebsposition erforderlichen Arbeitsschritte auf einfache Bewegungen reduziert ist. Die modulare Gestaltung der Leuchtenmodule des Sets lässt es weiterhin zu, verschiedene Leuchtenmodule mit verschiedenen Längen und Eigenschaften zu unterschiedlichsten Anordnungen zu verbinden, ohne die Leuchtenmodule an die Umgebung anzupassen. So kann es allgemein gewünscht sein, zwischen Leuchtenmodulen, die mittels einer Lichtquelle Licht emittieren, ein Leuchtenmodul anzuordnen, welches weitere elektrische Komponenten, wie drahtlose Kommunikationsschnittstellen, Betriebsgeräte und/oder Sensoren und insbesondere keine Lichtquellen aufweist. Dadurch, dass sich Fixiervorrichtung und Fixiereinrichtung in der Betriebsposition im Eingriff befinden, sind die miteinander verbundenen Leuchtenmodule fest aneinander gehalten gegen ein versehentliches Lösen gesichert. Allgemein kann natürlich zumindest ein Leuchtenmodul einen Modulendabschnitt aufweisen, der nicht dazu ausgebildet ist, mit einem Modulendabschnitt eines weiteren Leuchtenmoduls verbunden zu werden. Dadurch ist es ermöglicht, Endabschnitte der Leuchtenanordnung in optisch ansprechender Weise zu gestalten, die weiterhin zusätzliche Eigenschaften aufweisen können, wie beispielsweise Leitungszuführungen, dekorative Endabschnittselemente, oder Befestigungsmöglichkeiten an in der Umgebung der Leuchtenanordnung befindlichen Elementen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße einfache und kompakte Gestaltung ist es außerdem möglich, erhöhte Dichtigkeitsanforderungen zu erfüllen, wie sie in Feuchtraumanwendungen oder auch in Reinraumanwendungen gefordert sind.The set according to the invention has significant advantages compared to conventional sets for lighting arrangements. The set makes it possible to create a lighting arrangement without additional adapter elements and therefore with a relatively small number of parts. This enables the set to be manufactured particularly cost-effectively. The lamp modules can be connected at their module end sections by means of a simple movement. This means, on the one hand, the assembly time required to connect the lighting modules of the set to achieve the operating position and, on the other hand, the Occupational safety is significantly improved because the work steps required to realize the operating position are reduced to simple movements. The modular design of the lighting modules in the set also allows different lighting modules with different lengths and properties to be connected to form a wide variety of arrangements without having to adapt the lighting modules to the surroundings. Thus, it may generally be desirable to arrange a lamp module between lamp modules that emit light by means of a light source, which has further electrical components, such as wireless communication interfaces, operating devices and/or sensors and in particular no light sources. Because the fixing device and fixing device are in engagement in the operating position, the interconnected lamp modules are held firmly together and secured against accidental loosening. In general, of course, at least one lighting module can have a module end section that is not designed to be connected to a module end section of a further lighting module. This makes it possible to design end sections of the lamp arrangement in a visually appealing manner, which can also have additional properties, such as cable feeds, decorative end section elements, or fastening options to elements located in the vicinity of the lamp arrangement. The simple and compact design according to the invention also makes it possible to meet increased tightness requirements, such as those required in wet room applications or in clean room applications.
