Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elongate support rail with an elongate support profile and at least one elongate power rail for the electrical connection of electrical or electronic lighting components.
  • the present invention also relates to a mounting rail system for connecting electrical or electronic lighting components with at least two elongated mounting rails, wherein at least one of the elongated mounting rails is an elongated mounting rail according to the present invention.
  • Elongated mounting rails in particular for forming a mounting rail system, are fundamentally known from the prior art. As a rule, these have a carrier profile, in the interior of which one or more elongate busbars extend longitudinally. Electrical or electronic lighting components can be electrically coupled to the power rail via a longitudinal opening in the carrier profile. For this purpose, the busbars can be electrically tapped from a side directed toward the interior. The lighting components are usually held mechanically on the carrier profile. For this purpose, they are usually accommodated in the longitudinal opening and cover this and the interior space behind it. Other options for tapping the power rail are made more difficult, since access to the same via the longitudinal opening in the support profile is covered by the electrical or electronic lighting components.
  • the present invention therefore relates to an elongate support rail or light support rail having an elongate support profile which at least partially delimits an interior space.
  • the elongate support rail also has at least one elongate conductor rail, which extends longitudinally in the interior space along an elongate support profile wall of the support profile in such a way as to enclose the interior space in a receiving space facing away from the support profile wall for the electrical connection of electrical or electronic lighting components and one directed towards the support profile wall separate connection space.
  • the busbar has electrical conductors that extend longitudinally along the busbar and have connection sections that are at least partially exposed toward the connection space.
  • the support profile also has a connection opening for inserting an electrical connection plug from outside the support rail into the connection space in an insertion direction essentially parallel or tangential to the support profile wall (i.e. usually also parallel to the busbar) for electrical contacting with the busbar via the connection sections.
  • an electrical connection or an electrical contact means preferably any contact which enables a current or data transfer.
  • a corresponding connection opening is thus provided in the support profile.
  • a corresponding tapping possibility is thus provided from the material side, i.e. via the support profile.
  • other components e.g. for power supply and for data transfer, can be connected in any way, regardless of how the mounting rail is equipped with lighting components - e.g. on the front or on an opening side (e.g. receiving opening) of the mounting rail.
  • any additional loads or electrical/electronic components can also be provided subsequently and supplied in parallel and preferably also independently of any lighting components.
  • This also takes place in an extremely space-saving manner, since a connection for a connector plug is provided here in an insertion direction parallel or tangential to the support profile wall, so that the connection space provided in this way can be used effectively for the electrical connection.
  • the electrical conductors can also have connection sections that are at least partially exposed towards the receiving space for the electrical connection of the electrical or electronic lamp components via the receiving space.
  • the same busbar can be used both for additional loads and the lighting components. In this way, the number of corresponding busbars can be reduced and the installation space of the mounting rail can be used effectively.
  • connection sections can be provided in different planes parallel to the support profile wall. Since the insertion direction or plug-in direction is parallel to the support profile wall, safe accessibility of the connection sections to be reached via the connection opening can be made possible with effective use of installation space.
  • the busbar can also have an elongate conductor carrier that extends along the length of the busbar and has a first side directed towards the connection space and a second side directed towards the receiving space.
  • the conductor carrier carries the electrical conductors that extend longitudinally along the conductor carrier. In this way, a simple structural feature can be provided in the form of a carrier to provide the electrical conductors in a continuous manner, facilitating handling and installation thereof.
  • the conductor carrier is preferably made of an insulating material such as plastic. An effective separation between the connection space and the receiving space can thus also be ensured by means of the conductor carrier.
  • the conductor carrier can have elongate conductor receiving structures extending along the busbar and preferably over the entire length of the busbar in order to receive and hold the electrical conductors therein.
  • the conductor receiving structures are preferably provided on the first side and/or the second side. These conductor receiving structures allow the electrical conductors to be provided and made available in a simple manner.
  • the electrical conductors can be provided integrally with one another, for example with the conductor carrier, in a single production step; for example by overmoulding the conductor with the conductor carrier material. It is also conceivable that the conductor carrier is produced in a first production step and the electrical conductors are then inserted into the conductor receiving structures.
  • the conductor receiving structures can be formed by a wavy or zigzag cross section of the conductor carrier, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the conductor rail. Such a structure makes it possible to provide the electrical conductors in the conductor carrier in a simple manner and to effectively expose them and thus make them accessible for tapping via the corresponding connection sections.
  • the electrical conductors are preferably provided over the entire length of the conductor carrier in an exposed manner towards the corresponding space (connection space; receiving space).
  • the conductor receiving structures can each have a U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the conductor rail, which in each case delimits a preferably continuous receiving groove for receiving an electrical conductor in each case.
  • a cross section offers a simple production of the corresponding busbar or the conductor carrier and, on the other hand, a simple introduction or provision of the electrical conductors.
  • the electrical conductors are preferably provided in a partially or fully exposed manner by freeing the connection sections in the conductor carrier. In this way, the connection sections can be provided in a targeted exposed manner, in order to thus provide a defined tapping area. Sections of the electrical conductors that are not intended for tapping can preferably be covered on the corresponding side by material of the busbar or the conductor support. This also provides increased protection for users and reduces the likelihood of incorrect tapping.
  • the clearance is preferably located on a side facing away from the side having the corresponding electrical conductor. This can be the first or the second page. In this respect, for example, a conductor that is exposed to one side over its entire length can be made available, for example by being partially freed, to the opposite side for a corresponding tap at precisely this position. Thus, for example, the number of conductors can be reduced while the flexibility of the tap options is increased.
  • the support profile can have a plurality of elongated support profile wall limbs (e.g. side wall, rear wall, etc.) which at least partially delimit the interior space, with at least one of the support profile wall limbs forming the support profile wall.
  • a defined assignment and configuration of busbars on the one hand and corresponding support profile wall leg on the other hand can be made possible.
  • the support profile can preferably have two first support profile wall limbs (e.g. side walls) aligned essentially parallel to one another and opposite one another and a second support profile wall limb (e.g. rear wall) connecting these first support profile wall limbs.
  • first support profile wall limbs e.g. side walls
  • second support profile wall limb e.g. rear wall
  • the support profile can preferably be U-shaped or H-shaped or plate-shaped in cross-section. Of course, other cross-sectional shapes are also possible conceivable. In this way, a largely simple structure of the support profile can be provided.
  • the support profile can have a receiving opening, via which the electric or electronic lamp components can be electrically coupled to a (e.g. another or the above-described) power rail and/or at least partially inserted into the interior. Since the connection opening is provided independently of the receiving opening, the functionality and accessibility of the connection opening is not impaired by any lighting components that may be provided.
  • the receiving opening can preferably be laterally delimited by two supporting profile wall limbs, preferably by the first supporting profile wall limbs (e.g. the side walls) on a side facing away from the second supporting profile wall limb (e.g. the rear wall). A comparatively large receiving opening can thus be provided for receiving corresponding electrical or electronic lighting components; this at the same time with the simplest possible structure of the support profile.
  • the support profile can have a holding structure, via which the electrical or electronic lighting components can be mechanically coupled to the support rail. In this way, a simple mechanical coupling of corresponding components can be provided on the support profile.
  • the holding structure can preferably delimit the receiving opening.
  • the holding structure can be provided at a location where the electrical or electronic lamp components are usually attached, so that a simple and space-saving mechanical coupling of the same is made possible.
  • the structure of the elongate mounting rail can thus be simplified.
  • connection opening can be provided in an area which is easily accessible during operation or when the elongate mounting rail is installed.
  • connection opening can also be provided in other areas of the support rail, such as, for example, in one of the support profile wall limbs.
  • the elongate support rail can also have an electrical connection plug for insertion from outside the support rail via the connection opening into the connection space in the plug-in direction essentially parallel to the support profile wall for electrical contacting with the busbar via the connection sections exposed towards the connection space.
  • the provision of such a connection plug enables a particularly simple tapping of the busbar via the connection opening; e.g. for power supply and/or for data transfer.
  • connection plug is preferably designed as a flat plug. In this respect, a particularly space-saving design of both the plug and the connection space can be made possible.
  • connection plug is not inserted, it can of course be provided that the connection opening is closed in any way (for example with a removable plastic cap) in order to increase safety in the case of unoccupied connection sections.
  • the connector plug can have the same cross section as the connection opening. In this way it is possible to close the connection opening as far as possible when the connection plug is connected, which provides additional protection against accidental contact with the connection sections and thus further increases the safety of the elongate mounting rail.
  • a defined cross-sectional shape With a defined cross-sectional shape, incorrect installation or incorrect insertion of a connector plug into the connection opening can also be avoided.
  • an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape can be selected, which requires the connector plug to be clearly oriented in relation to the connection opening in order to insert it.
  • the cross-sectional shapes of the connection plug and connection opening can preferably be designed in the sense of a poka-yoke connection.
  • connection plug can have contact sections for making electrical contact with the busbar via the connection sections that are exposed toward the connection space. A defined assignment of the electrical coupling and a secure electrical connection via the connector plug can thus be guaranteed.
  • the contact sections can be arranged offset relative to one another.
  • the contact sections can be transverse to each other in relation to the direction of insertion be staggered.
  • the contact sections can be offset from one another transversely to the insertion direction and perpendicularly and/or parallel to the support profile wall.
  • the contact sections can be arranged offset to one another according to the arrangement of the associated connection sections or those to be contacted, in order to thus enable easy insertion of the connection plug without incorrect contacting and to ensure reliable electrical contact.
  • the contact sections When making electrical contact with the busbar, the contact sections can lie laterally next to the contact sections with respect to the plug-in direction via the connection sections that are exposed toward the connection space. Contacting of the connector plug with the busbar can thus be ensured by simply inserting the connector plug in the plug-in direction.
  • the contact sections can have contact spring elements. In this way, simple electrical contacting of the connector plug with the busbar can be made possible with the provision of comparatively simply constructed contact sections.
  • the contact sections When electrically contacting the busbar, the contact sections can be prestressed laterally with respect to the plug-in direction towards precisely these connection sections via the connection sections exposed towards the connection space. In this respect, even with an insertion direction transverse to these connection sections, reliable electrical contact can be established with them via the contact sections and preferably also permanently maintained.
  • the elongate support rail can also have at least one electrical or electronic component, such as a sensor, a lamp, in particular a spotlight, a loudspeaker or a camera.
  • This electrical or electronic component can be or can be connected to the connector plug and preferably have it in order to be electrically connected to the busbar via the connector plug, preferably for tapping off a power supply and/or a data line formed by the corresponding electrical conductors of the busbar.
  • the electrical or electronic components can have coupling structures for mounting the corresponding component.
  • These coupling structures can be used for coupling be formed on a wall or ceiling and, for example, have through-openings for passing through fastening elements such as screws.
  • the support profile has further coupling structures corresponding to the coupling structures of the components in order to mechanically couple the component to the support profile.
  • the further coupling structures can preferably have structural sections of the support profile, which are formed, for example, by an undercut contour in the cross section of the support profile.
  • the coupling structures of the components can then be formed, for example, with latching structures in order to mechanically couple the components to the other coupling structures in a detachable manner.
  • the elongate mounting rail can also have at least one electrical or electronic lighting component, such as a lamp, in particular a continuous-row lamp or a spotlight, an operating device or a sensor, in particular a movement sensor or a brightness sensor.
  • the electrical or electronic lamp component can be electrically coupled to an elongate busbar, preferably the elongate busbar described above according to the present invention, and particularly preferably to its electrical conductors, via the receiving space and preferably mechanically, for example, to the holding structure.
  • the elongated mounting rail can be equipped with electrical or electronic lighting components in any way. If the electrical or electronic lamp components are coupled to an elongate busbar according to the invention, this is preferably done via the connection sections that are exposed toward the receiving space.
  • the elongate busbar according to the invention for the electrical connection of the lamp components, components can also be reduced and the elongate mounting rail can be provided in a space-optimized manner.
  • the present invention also relates to a mounting rail system for connecting electrical or electronic lighting components, having at least two elongate mounting rails, wherein at least one elongate mounting rail is an elongate mounting rail according to the present invention.
  • the elongate support rails are preferably arranged in series lengthwise to one another.
  • the elongate busbars of adjacent support rails are preferably electrically coupled to one another; this preferably via their corresponding electrical conductor.
  • a support rail system of any design and any length can thus be formed and provided using the elongate support rails according to the invention.
  • the support rail system can also have a first connector for electrically and preferably also mechanically coupling the elongate busbars. Furthermore, the support rail system can have a second connector for mechanically coupling the support profiles, preferably by means of corresponding coupling structures.
  • the mounting rail system can particularly preferably have a connecting part, such as a connecting rail, which has at least part of the first connector and/or the second connector. In this way, a particularly simple and defined electrical and/or mechanical connection between two adjacent mounting rails can be made possible in a simple manner.

  • the connector plug 200 on the one hand and the support profile 110 and/or the conductor rail 1 on the other hand have stop elements 202, 90; 203, 190, which, when the connector plug 200 is properly plugged in, stops in a defined manner as seen in the plug-in direction E, in order to specify an installation position in a clearly defined manner and to indicate it to the operator. In this way, incorrect installation can be avoided.
  • the connecting plug 200 shown on the left is the connecting plug-side stop element formed by its end face 202 (i.e. here the upper end side with which the connecting plug 200 is first inserted into the connection opening 117) and the corresponding stop element formed by a web 90 of the busbar 1.
  • the connector plug 200 shown on the right will do that
  • the stop element on the connector plug side is formed by a flange section 203 protruding transversely to the insertion direction E and the corresponding stop element by a contact section 190 of the support profile 110 (here the area of the support profile 110 or the holding structure 118 delimiting the connection opening 117).
  • the contact sections 201 can have contact spring elements, as is the case, for example, in Figures 1 and 2 is clearly shown.
  • the contact sections 201 can be pretensioned laterally with respect to the plug-in direction E towards precisely these connection sections 16 via the connection sections 16 exposed towards the connection space S. Thus, a safe and permanent electrical contact can be guaranteed.
  • the elongate support rail 100 can also have at least one electrical or electronic component (not shown), such as a sensor, a light, in particular a spot light, a loudspeaker or a camera and the like.
  • the electrical or electronic component can preferably be connected to the connector plug 200, is connected to it or preferably has it. This in order to be electrically connected or coupled to the busbar 1 via the connector plug 200, preferably for tapping off a power supply and/or a data line in the form of the electrical conductors 14, 24 via their connection sections 16 exposed to the connection space S.
  • the component may be integrally formed with the housing body 204 of the connector plug 200 .
  • the electrical or electronic component can be provided at a separate location or can also be mechanically coupled to the support profile 110; this is preferably detachable, so that the corresponding electrical or electronic components can be retrofitted or replaced in any way.
  • the electrical or electronic components can preferably have coupling structures for mounting the corresponding component.
  • These coupling structures can be designed for coupling to a wall or ceiling and can have, for example, through-openings for passing through fastening elements such as screws.
  • the support profile 110 has further coupling structures 119 corresponding to the coupling structures of the components in order to mechanically couple the components to the support profile 110 .
  • the other coupling structures 119 can preferably be structural sections of the Support profile 110 (here, for example, the rear wall 116), which is formed, for example, by an undercut contour in the cross section of the support profile 110, as is the case, for example, in figures 1 and 3 to 8 is shown.
  • the coupling structures of the components can then be formed, for example, with latching structures in order to mechanically couple the components to the further coupling structures 119 in a detachable manner.
  • the support profile 110 and here preferably its second support profile wall leg 116, can have a preferred attachment structure 104 extending along the support profile 110 for attaching the support rail 1 to an attachment area.
  • the fastening area can be, for example, a ceiling or wall to provide a surface-mounted or built-in light or also a fastening structure of a pendant light support structure to provide a pendant light.
  • the attachment structure 104 is essentially T-shaped.
  • the fastening structure 104 can preferably have the further coupling structures 119 .
  • the elongate support rail 100 can also have at least one electrical or electronic lighting component, such as a lamp, in particular a continuous-row lamp or a spotlight, an operating device or a sensor, in particular a motion sensor or a brightness sensor, and the like.
  • the electric or electronic lamp component can be electrically coupled to an elongate busbar, preferably here to elongate busbar 1 or also to an additional elongate busbar, and particularly preferably to its electrical conductors 24 via receiving space A, and preferably mechanically to support structure 118, for example.
  • elongate support rails at least one of which is an elongate support rail 100 according to the present invention, can be assembled to form a support rail system according to the invention for connecting electrical or electronic components or lighting components.
  • the elongate support rails 100 are preferably arranged in series along one another.
  • the elongate conductor rails 1 of adjacent support rails 100 are preferably electrically coupled to one another; preferably via their corresponding electrical conductors 14, 24. In this way, an arbitrarily formed and arbitrarily long support rail system can be formed.
  • By providing the end faces of the mounting rail 100 by means of a miter it is also possible to form angled mounting rail systems.
  • busbars 1 and the mounting rails 100 can be used in any way shaped and, for example, viewed in the longitudinal direction L, bent or wavy or formed in some other way, so that in principle a support rail 100 or a support rail system can be provided in any shape.
  • the support rail system can also have a first connector for electrically and preferably also mechanically coupling the elongate busbars 1 . Furthermore, the support rail system can preferably have a second connector for mechanically coupling the support profiles 110 . This preferably through corresponding coupling structures. In principle, it is also conceivable that the mounting rail system preferably has a connecting part, such as a connecting rail, which has at least part of the first connector and/or the second connector.
