Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket, in particular for fluorescent lamps.
  • Screw-free terminal systems are increasingly being used to electrically connect the individual components of the luminaire. Screw-free terminal systems, such as insulation displacement contacts, can moreover be easily and automatically wired if appropriately designed, although it may be desirable that wiring can also be carried out by hand if necessary.
  • Pre-assembled lights especially those with sockets for fluorescent lamps, generally have an elongated housing, the length of which corresponds to the length of a fluorescent lamp and at the ends of which are held sockets for the fluorescent lamp, which extend at right angles to the housing.
  • These sockets can be damaged during transport.
  • a correspondingly large packaging is required due to the sockets extending away from the housing. The transportation costs are correspondingly high.
  • Such a lamp is known, for example, from EP 0 658 720 A1.
  • This lamp has an elongated support rail which extends over the entire length of the illuminant (fluorescent tube). Their ends are covered with end pieces.
  • Sockets for fluorescent lamps are provided for the front parts. The sockets extend at right angles to the longitudinal extension of the mounting rail away from the latter.
  • the required packaging volume is determined in at least one dimension from the sum of the height of the carrier rail and the frame.
  • the subdivision of the socket into a fixed base section and into a socket section makes it possible to mount the socket section, which is used for connecting lamps, in particular fluorescent lamps, movably, with lines to be connected by the immovable base section are held. Movements of the socket section are therefore not transferred to the lines.
  • the frame section is movable between the rest and use position. The rest position is preferably determined so that the socket section is accommodated to save space. This is the case, for example, if it lies flat on a support rail that supports the holder. This results in significantly reduced transport volumes and correspondingly lower transport costs compared to the prior art.
  • the line connection means provided on the socket section automatically come into contact with the lines held on the base section.
  • the movement to be given to the socket section during the transfer into its position of use is thus additionally used for connecting the lines, the lines remaining immobile during the movement of the socket section.
  • This procedure increases the already high reliability of the electrical connection between the line and line connection means, because these are not subject to mechanical loads during the transport or the movement of the socket section.
  • the socket is also suitable for both automatic wiring systems and manual wiring. This creates compatibility between manual and mechanical wiring systems.
  • the socket section In principle, it is possible to mount the socket section directly on an element of the lamp, for example on a support rail.
  • the base section and the socket section are then structurally separate.
  • this socket can be used without a hinge, a support option or the design of the support rail The like would have to be provided for the movable socket section.
  • the frame section can be transferred from its rest position to its position of use both translationally and in a pivoting movement or, if necessary, in a combined movement.
  • the pivoting movement has the advantage that a lever reduction for the line connection means can be achieved with a corresponding design of the socket section as a two-armed lever. It is then possible to apply the forces required for electrical contacting, which are not insignificant in the case of insulation displacement contacts, by means of small hand forces acting on the lever at the other end.
  • the socket section is preferably designed as a two-armed angle lever.
  • One arm carries a lamp connection socket, which can be set up, for example, to hold a fluorescent lamp and to connect it electrically.
  • the line connection means are mounted on the other arm. This enables a space-saving base design, both the lamp connection socket and the line connection means being arranged on the inside of the angle lever.
  • Insulation displacement contacts have the advantage as line connection means that no stripping of line ends is required. In addition to cost considerations, this means that the lines introduced into the base section by the lamp manufacturer are subject to good corrosion protection. The plastic insulation is only cut at the customer's site, ie when the luminaire is installed, and the electrically safe insulation displacement connection is immediately established. Even longer transport or storage times are no problem.
  • the lines are mounted in their respective connection areas parallel to a pivot axis defined by the pivoting movement.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are each provided with a flat insulation displacement section which is oriented at right angles to the lines.
  • Each insulation displacement section has an insulation displacement slot which has a constant radius to the pivot axis.
  • the lines are idle when connected, i.e. when entering the insulation displacement slot.
  • a locking means secures the socket section in its position of use and thus also prevents the electrical contact, once made, from being deliberately or accidentally released. This also makes it possible to keep the electrical contact point free from forces which act on the socket section. Such forces can be, for example, bending forces that arise when inserting or changing lamps. This is ensured in particular if the locking means are latching means which cooperate with the base and lock the socket section in its inoperable position as soon as it is transferred to it.
  • a socket 1 is shown, which is divided into a socket section 2 (Fig. 1) and a base section 3 (Fig. 2).
  • the socket 1 is mounted on a support rail 4 and is used to connect fluorescent lamps, not shown, in or on a lamp.
  • the socket section 2 has a housing 6 which is L-shaped in side view and which has a straight first leg 7 and a second leg 8 standing at right angles thereto.
  • the legs 7 and 8 form the arms of a two-armed angle lever, which is provided with pivot pins 11, 12 for its rotatable mounting in its apex region. These pins are formed in one piece with the housing 6 and extend in alignment with one another from the two sides of the housing 6.
  • the pivot axis defined by the journals 11, 12 is at right angles to both the longer first leg 7 and the shorter second leg 8.
  • the leg 7 carries a lamp connection socket 13, which is provided for receiving, holding and electrical contacting of axial connection pins of fluorescent lamps.
  • the lamp connection socket 13 has a diagonally slotted, rotatable insert 14, the slot 15 of which is accessible via an opening in the front of the housing 6 serves to receive the connecting pins of the fluorescent lamp.
  • the insulation displacement contact 19 has an insulation displacement slot 27 which is accessible via a funnel-like insertion bevel 26 and has a constant radius to the axis of rotation defined by the bearing pins 11, 12.
  • the insulation displacement slot opens towards the side of the leg 8, towards which the leg 7 also extends.
  • the lead-in bevel 26 is formed by flanks which are to be pointed towards one another and are approximately at right angles to one another and whose maximum distance from one another is greater than the diameter of an insulated line.
  • the housing 6 is open in the region of the leg 8 up to its end face on the side to which the insulation displacement slot 19 also opens.
  • a left-hand side wall 28 delimiting the housing 6 in the region of the lever 8 is provided with an input slot 29, which is aligned with the insulation displacement slot 27 of the insulation displacement contact 19 and is used to lead through an insulated line.
  • the input slot 19 is appropriately large.
  • the other contact tongue on the right in FIG. 1 is designed as an insulation displacement contact 19a at the end and held between ribs 21a to 24a of the housing 6.
  • the insulation displacement contact 19a has an insulation displacement slot 27a. The description given for the insulation displacement contact 19 applies accordingly to the insulation displacement contact 19a, its dimensions and function.
  • the insulation displacement contact 19a is offset from the insulation displacement contact 19 and is accordingly at a greater distance from the axis of rotation defined by the bearing pins 11, 12.
  • an input slot 29a for introducing an insulated line is arranged closer to the front side of the arm 8 than the input slot 29.
  • the input slot 29a is provided in the right-hand side wall 28a of the arm 8 of the housing 6 in FIG. 1.
  • the upwardly open section of the housing 6 in the region of the leg 8 forms with the insulation displacement contacts 19, 19a a line connection region 32a for contacting lines 33 (a, b, c, d, see FIG. 2).
  • the leg 7 of the housing 6 is provided with locking means 34.
  • locking means 34 are formed by right-hand and left-hand locking lugs 35, which in the transition from the leg 7 to the leg 8 on the outside, i.e. are arranged on the side facing away from the bearing journal 11, 12.
  • the locking lug 35 has a contact surface 36 which is orthogonal to the direction of movement of the locking lug 35 when the socket section 2 is pivoted about its bearing journals 11, 12.
  • an abutment 37 is arranged, which is designed as a rib projecting laterally beyond the side wall 28 (a).
  • the base section 3 belonging to the socket 1 is, as shown in FIG. 2, a one-piece plastic part which is attached to the front side of the carrier rail 4. It closes the carrier rail 4 with its end wall 38.
  • the base section 3 faces away from one another the end wall 38 away bearing and connecting portion 39, which abuts from the inside on the support rail 4 and is supported on this.
  • the bearing and connection section 39 has two side walls 41, 42 which extend at right angles from the end wall 38 and are arranged at a distance from one another and are connected to one another at the end by a line holder 43.
  • a rectangular opening 44 is defined between the side walls 41, 42 and between the end wall 38 and the line holder 43, through which the socket section 2 extends in the assembled state.
  • pockets 46, 47 are formed in the side walls 41, 42 in the manner of grooves, which are to be pointed towards one another and are each delimited by a web 48 on the carrier rail side.
  • the web 48 interacts with the locking means 34 and fits with little play between the abutment 37 and the contact surface 36 of the locking lug 35.
  • Bearing openings 49 are formed in the side walls 41, 42 in each case for receiving the bearing pins 11, 12 of the socket section 2.
  • the line holder 43 is closed toward the carrier rail 4 with a base 51, while it is open on its opposite side. From the floor extend integrally formed on this line clamps 52 (a to d), which are mutually identical and arranged so that they are longitudinally and / or laterally offset from each other and are therefore accessible for different insulation displacement contacts 19, 19a.
  • Each line clamp 52 has two fingers 53 (b), 54 (b) that are closely spaced and each slotted to accommodate the line.
  • the fingers 53, 54 are so close together that an insulation displacement contact 19 with some play fits between them.
  • the fingers 53, 54 form an abutment for the respective line 33.
  • a lamp is preassembled in the factory in such a way that the holder 1, as shown in FIG. 3, is held on the carrier rail 4.
  • the socket section 2 assumes the rest position, indicated by dashed lines, in which the longer leg 7 with its illuminant connection socket 13 touches the carrier rail 4.
  • the base section 3 is held firmly on the carrier rail 4 and lines 33a, 33c (FIG. 2) are inserted into the line terminals 52a, 52c.
  • the remaining line terminals 52b, 52d are empty.
  • the lines 33a, 33c are not yet connected to the contact tongues of the socket section 2.
  • the lamp or the carrier 4 is preassembled so far that the lamp can be made ready for dispatch and can be shipped with a small space requirement due to the frame section 2 lying flat on the carrier 4.
  • the socket section 2 is pivoted about the axis of rotation defined by the bearing pin 11, 12.
  • the journals 11, 12 rotate in the bearing openings 49, which serve as abutments.

  • the insulation displacement contact 19 cuts through the line insulation of the line 33a.
  • the conductor of the line 33a then slides into the insulation displacement slot 27.
  • the distance between the insulation displacement slot 27 and the axis of rotation defined by the journals 11, 12 is substantially less than the length of the leg 7.
  • the lever formed by the socket section 2 thus increases the force, so that the insulation displacement contact 19 is pressed onto the line 33a required force can be easily applied by hand.
  • the locking lugs 35 latch with the webs 48 formed on the base section 3.
  • the mounting section 2 is thus held permanently in its position of use.
  • the socket section 2 can be connected to the carrier rail 4 via a hinge means.
  • a correspondingly shaped groove or groove which is supported on an edge of the carrier rail and is provided on the outside of the bend of the housing 6, can serve as the hinge means.
