Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung mit einer Schienenvorrichtung zum Anbringen und zur Energieversorgung von Lampen zu schaffen, bei dem die Verwendung flexibler gestaltet werden kann.It is an object of the present invention, a lighting device with a rail device for mounting and to provide energy to lamps, where the use can be made more flexible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung, welche die Merkmale nach Anspruch 1 aufweist, gelöst.This object is achieved by a lighting device having the features of claim 1.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfasst eine Schienenvorrichtung, welche an einer Oberfläche eines Objekts angebracht werden kann. Das Objekt kann beispielsweise eine Decke eines Raums oder aber auch eine Seitenwand eines Raums oder eines Gebäudes sein. Die beispielhaften Angaben für Objekte sind nicht abschließend zu verstehen. Prinzipiell kann die Schienenvorrichtung an beliebigen Objekten angebracht werden.A lighting device according to the invention comprises a rail device, which on a surface of a Object can be attached. The object may be, for example, a ceiling of a room or even a side wall of a room or a building. The exemplary details for objects are not exhaustive. In principle, the rail device can be attached to any objects.

Die Schienenvorrichtung umfasst zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordnete Schienen, an welchen eine Lampe anbringbar ist und mit Energie versorgbar ist. Die Energieversorgung erfolgt über die Schienen, welche elektrisch leitend sind. Die Schienen sind mit einem Transformator elektrisch verbunden. An den Schienen ist zumindest eine erste Lampe angeordnet, welche über den Transformator und die Schienen mit Energie im Niedervoltbereich versorgbar ist, und zumindest eine zweite Lampe ist an einem Gehäuse des Transformators angeordnet und mit Netzspannung verbunden.The rail device comprises two spaced-apart rails, to which a lamp is attachable and can be supplied with energy. The energy supply takes place via the rails, which are electrically conductive. The rails are electrically connected to a transformer. At least one first lamp is arranged on the rails, which can be supplied with energy in the low-voltage range via the transformer and the rails, and at least one second lamp is arranged on a housing of the transformer and connected to mains voltage.

Unter dem Niedervoltbereich wird insbesondere ein Spannungsbereich mit elektrischen Spannungen kleiner 60V, insbesondere etwa 12V verstanden.Under the low-voltage range, in particular, a voltage range with electrical voltages less than 60V, in particular about 12V understood.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Beleuchtungsvorrichtung können einerseits eine Mehrzahl von ersten Lampen an die Schienen angebracht und über diese mit vom Transformator gelieferter Spannung versorgt und betrieben werden. Andererseits kann zusätzlich zumindest eine weitere Lampe an dem Gehäuse des Transformators angeordnet sein und nicht mit der vom Transformator gelieferten Spannung mit Energie versorgt werden, sondern mit Netzspannung verbunden sein. Durch dieses Konzept kann die Verwendbarkeit der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung wesentlich flexibler gestaltet werden. Bevorzugt ist die erste Lampe einer ersten Lampenart zugeordnet und die zweite Lampe einer zweiten, von der ersten Lampenart unterschiedlichen Lampenart zugeordnet. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung ermöglicht somit den Betrieb, insbesondere den gleichzeitigen Betrieb, unterschiedlicher Lampenarten. Bevorzugt ist eine erste Lampenart eine Halogen-Glühlampe, eine zweite Lampenart eine Entladungslampe, insbesondere eine als Energiesparlampe bezeichnete Kompaktleuchtstofflampe, und eine dritte Lampenart eine Leuchtdiode. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung ermöglicht durch diese Ausgestaltung und die Verwendung von Entladungslampen und/oder Leuchtdioden auch eine Erhöhung der Lichtausbeute bei gleichzeitiger Energieeinsparung.By means of the lighting device according to the invention, on the one hand, a plurality of first lamps can be attached to the rails and supplied and operated by the latter with voltage supplied by the transformer. On the other hand, additionally at least one further lamp can be arranged on the housing of the transformer and not be supplied with the voltage supplied by the transformer with energy, but be connected to mains voltage. This concept makes the usability of the lighting device much more flexible become. Preferably, the first lamp is assigned to a first type of lamp and the second lamp is assigned to a second type of lamp different from the first type of lamp. The lighting device thus enables the operation, in particular the simultaneous operation, of different types of lamps. A first type of lamp is preferably a halogen incandescent lamp, a second type of lamp is a discharge lamp, in particular a compact fluorescent lamp designated as an energy-saving lamp, and a third type of lamp is a light-emitting diode. The lighting device allows by this embodiment and the use of discharge lamps and / or light-emitting diodes and an increase in the luminous efficacy while saving energy.

Besonders bevorzugt erweist es sich, wenn die zweite Lampe, welche an dem Gehäuse des Transformators angeordnet und mit Netzspannung verbunden ist, eine Entladungslampe, insbesondere eine Kompaktleuchtstofflampe, ist. Dadurch kann platzsparend und aufwandsarm ein Beleuchtungssystem geschaffen werden, welches als Hybridsystem ausgebildet ist und beispielsweise neben Glühlampen, welche an den Schienen angeordnet sind, auch zumindest eine Entladungslampe umfasst. Vorzugsweise ist die Entladungslampe als dimmbare Kompaktleuchtstofflampe ausgebildet.It proves particularly preferable if the second lamp, which is arranged on the housing of the transformer and connected to mains voltage, is a discharge lamp, in particular a compact fluorescent lamp. As a result, a lighting system can be created in a space-saving and low-effort manner, which is designed as a hybrid system and, for example, in addition to incandescent lamps which are arranged on the rails, also comprises at least one discharge lamp. Preferably, the discharge lamp is designed as a dimmable compact fluorescent lamp.

Durch die geringfügige Änderung des Gehäuses des Transformators kann dadurch auch die Integration einer derartigen Entladungslampe in die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung ermöglicht werden. Durch das Anbringen zumindest einer Lampenfassung in dem Trafogehäuse und dem Anschluss dieser zweiten Lampe an die Netzklemme kann ohne eine wesentliche Änderung der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung auch eine Kompaktleuchtstofflampe mit integriertem elektronischen Vorschaltgerät in ein bestehendes Halogensystem mit Glühlampen integriert werden.As a result of the slight change in the housing of the transformer, this also makes it possible to integrate such a discharge lamp into the lighting device. By attaching at least one lamp socket in the transformer housing and the connection of this second lamp to the power terminal can also be a compact fluorescent lamp with integrated electronic ballast without a significant change in the lighting device be integrated into an existing halogen system with incandescent lamps.

Die in das Gehäuse des Transformators integrierte Lampenfassung kann so ausgebildet sein, dass sie zur Aufnahme eines Schraubsockels der zweiten Lampe vorgesehen ist. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Sockel der zweiten Lampe eine andere Ausgestaltung als ein Schraubsockel aufweist. Beispielsweise kann auch ein Bajonettsockel oder ein Stiftsockel oder Ähnliches vorgesehen sein.The lamp socket integrated in the housing of the transformer can be designed such that it is provided for receiving a screw base of the second lamp. However, it can also be provided that the base of the second lamp has a different configuration than a screw base. For example, a bayonet base or a pin base or the like may be provided.

Der Transformator ist insbesondere als Ringkerntransformator ausgebildet. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine Dimmereinheit, insbesondere einen Phasenanschnittsdimmer. Dadurch kann eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung geschaffen werden, welche auch zum dimmbaren Betrieb der daran angeordneten Lampen vorgesehen ist.The transformer is designed in particular as a toroidal transformer. The lighting device preferably comprises a dimmer unit, in particular a phase-angle dimmer. Thereby, a lighting device can be provided, which is also provided for dimmable operation of the lamps arranged thereon.

Bevorzugt ist die zweite Lampe, welche an dem Gehäuse des Transformators angeordnet ist, zwischen den beiden Schienen der Schienenvorrichtung positioniert. Dadurch kann eine bauraumminimierte Ausgestaltung ermöglicht werden.Preferably, the second lamp, which is arranged on the housing of the transformer, positioned between the two rails of the rail device. As a result, a space-minimized design can be made possible.

Bevorzugt umfasst die Schienenvorrichtung zwei Schienen, welche sich im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander erstrecken und beabstandet zueinander angeordnet sind.The rail device preferably comprises two rails which extend substantially parallel to one another and are arranged at a distance from one another.

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung weist vorzugsweise eine die zweite Lampe sichtseitig abdeckende, lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung auf, welche insbesondere an dem Gehäuse des Transformators anbringbar ist. Insbesondere ist eine zerstörungsfrei lösbare und somit auch reversibel anbringbare Abdeckung vorgesehen.The lighting device preferably has a light-permeable cover which covers the second lamp on the visible side and which is in particular attachable to the housing of the transformer. In particular, a non-destructively detachable and thus reversibly attachable cover is provided.

Ebenso kann vorgesehen sein, dass zusätzlich oder anstatt der Abdeckung ein Reflektor an dem Gehäuse des Transformators anbringbar ist.It can also be provided that, in addition to or instead of the cover, a reflector can be attached to the housing of the transformer.

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung kann darüber hinaus so ausgebildet sein, dass auch an den Schienen der Schienenvorrichtung Lampen unterschiedlicher Lampenart angebracht werden können. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest eine Lampe einer ersten Lampenart und zumindest eine Lampe einer zweiten Lampenart an den Schienen anbringbar und gleichzeitig betreibbar sind. So kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass an den Schienen zumindest eine Glühlampe und/oder zumindest eine Entladungslampe und/oder zumindest eine Leuchtdiode angeordnet sind und gleichzeitig betrieben werden können.The lighting device can moreover be designed such that lamps of different types of lamps can also be attached to the rails of the rail device. In particular, it can be provided that at least one lamp of a first type of lamp and at least one lamp of a second type of lamp can be attached to the rails and simultaneously operated. For example, it may be provided that at least one incandescent lamp and / or at least one discharge lamp and / or at least one light-emitting diode are arranged on the rails and can be operated simultaneously.

Bevorzugte Ausführung der ErfindungPreferred embodiment of the invention

In den Figuren werden gleiche oder funktionsgleiche Elemente mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

Fig. 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung einen Teilausschnitt einer Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1, welche eine Schienenvorrichtung 2 mit einer ersten Schiene 21 und einer zweiten Schiene 22 umfasst. Die beiden Schienen 21 und 22 sind elektrisch leitend ausgebildet und verlaufen im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander und sind beabstandet zueinander angeordnet. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1, insbesondere die Schienenvorrichtung 2, kann an einer Decke eines Raums befestigt sein. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a partial section of a lighting device 1, which comprises a rail device 2 with a first rail 21 and a second rail 22. The two rails 21 and 22 are electrically conductive and substantially parallel to each other and are spaced from each other. The lighting device 1, in particular the rail device 2, can be fastened to a ceiling of a room.

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 umfasst eine Mehrzahl von Lampen, wobei in Fig. 1 lediglich beispielhaft eine Lampe 3 gezeigt ist. Die Lampe 3 ist als Glühlampe ausgebildet und über einen Adapter 4 an den Schienen 21 und 22 mit den Befestigungselementen 42 und 43 zerstörungsfrei lösbar befestigt. Die Befestigungselemente 42 und 43 sind in einer Führung 44 eines Grundkörpers 41 des Adapters 4 angeordnet und können in y-Richtung relativ zueinander und relativ zum Grundkörper 41 verschoben werden. Dadurch kann der Adapter 4 an unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Schienenvorrichtungen 2 angebracht werden. Insbesondere dann, wenn Schienen 21 und 22 vorrichtungsspezifisch unterschiedliche Abstände aufweisen kann auch dann der Adapter 4 kompatibel angepasst und daran befestigt werden.The lighting device 1 comprises a plurality of lamps, wherein in Fig. 1 merely by way of example a lamp 3 is shown. The lamp 3 is designed as an incandescent lamp and attached via an adapter 4 to the rails 21 and 22 with the fasteners 42 and 43 non-destructively releasably. The fastening elements 42 and 43 are arranged in a guide 44 of a main body 41 of the adapter 4 and can be displaced in the y-direction relative to one another and relative to the main body 41. Thereby, the adapter 4 can be attached to differently designed rail devices 2. In particular, when rails 21 and 22 have device-specific different distances and then the adapter 4 can be adapted compatible and secured thereto.

Darüber hinaus ist der Adapter 4 auch zur Aufnahme anderer Lampenarten ausgebildet. Es kann somit nicht nur eine als Glühlampe ausgebildet Lampe 3 an den Adapter 4 angebracht, beispielsweise angeschraubt oder angesteckt werden, sondern auch beispielsweise eine Kompaktleuchtstofflampe oder eine Leuchtdiode mit dem Adapter 4 verbunden werden.In addition, the adapter 4 is also designed to accommodate other types of lamps. Thus, not only a lamp 3 designed as an incandescent lamp can be attached to the adapter 4, for example screwed on or plugged in, but also, for example, a compact fluorescent lamp or a light-emitting diode can be connected to the adapter 4.

Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 ist zur Anbringung und zum Betrieb von Lampen unterschiedlicher Lampenart ausgebildet.The lighting device 1 is designed for attachment and operation of lamps of different types of lamps.

So kann vorgesehen sein, dass an den Schienen 21 und 22 eine oder mehrere Lampen 3 einer ersten Lampenart angeordnet sind und an einem als Ringkerntransformator ausgebildeten Transformator 5 zumindest eine zweite Lampe angebracht ist, welche eine zu den Lampen 3, welche an den Schienen 21 und 22 angeordnet ist, unterschiedliche Lampenart darstellt. Sind an den Schienen 21 und 22 ausschließlich Glühlampen angeordnet, so kann vorgesehen sein, dass an einem Gehäuse 51 des Transformators 5 eine als Kompaktleuchtstofflampe ausgebildete zweite Lampe 6 (Fig. 2) angeordnet ist.It can thus be provided that one or more lamps 3 of a first type of lamp are arranged on the rails 21 and 22, and at least one second lamp is attached to a transformer 5 designed as a toroidal transformer, which is connected to the lamps 3, which are connected to the rails 21 and 22 is arranged, represents different types of lamps. If only incandescent lamps are arranged on the rails 21 and 22, provision may be made for a second lamp 6 (FIG. 2) to be formed on a housing 51 of the transformer 5 as a compact fluorescent lamp. Fig. 2 ) is arranged.

Ebenso kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 so ausgebildet ist, dass auch an den Schienen 21 und 22 Glühlampen und/oder Entladungslampen und/oder Leuchtdioden anbringbar und gleichzeitig betreibbar sind.Likewise, however, it can also be provided that the lighting device 1 is designed such that incandescent lamps and / or discharge lamps and / or light-emitting diodes can also be attached and operated at the rails 21 and 22.

Neben der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Darstellung mit einem Adapter 4 kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass eine Lampe 3 gemäß üblicher herkömmlicher Befestigung bei derartigen Schienensystemen angebracht ist. Eine kompatibel verwendbare Ausgestaltung mit einem variabel einstellbaren Adapter 4 zum Anbringen unterschiedlicher Lampen und/oder zum Anbringen an unterschiedlichen Schienenvorrichtungen 2 ist dann nicht vorgesehen.In addition to the in Fig. 1 shown representation with an adapter 4 may also be provided that a lamp 3 is mounted according to conventional conventional attachment in such rail systems. A compatible usable configuration with a variably adjustable adapter 4 for attaching different lamps and / or for attachment to different rail devices 2 is then not provided.

Die an den Schienen 21 und 22 angeordneten Lampen 3 werden über den Transformator 5 und die Schienen 21 und 22 mit Energie im Niedervoltbereich versorgt. Die an dem Gehäuse 51 des Transformators 5 angeordnete zweite Lampe 6 wird nicht über den Transformator mit Energie versorgt, sondern ist mit Netzspannung verbunden.The arranged on the rails 21 and 22 lamps 3 are supplied via the transformer 5 and the rails 21 and 22 with energy in the low voltage range. The on the case 51 of the transformer 5 arranged second lamp 6 is not powered by the transformer with energy, but is connected to mains voltage.

In Fig. 2 ist eine schematische Schnittdarstellung entlang der Schnittlinie AA gemäß Fig. 1 gezeigt. Dabei ist zu erkennen, dass der Transformator 5, insbesondere das Gehäuse 51, an einer Decke 11 eines Raums befestigt ist.In Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view along the section line AA according to Fig. 1 shown. It can be seen that the transformer 5, in particular the housing 51, is fixed to a ceiling 11 of a room.

Das Gehäuse 51 des Transformators 5 weist einen unteren verjüngten Teilbereich 51a auf. An der der Decke 11 abgewandten Seite dieses Teilbereichs 51a sind die Schienen 21 und 22 befestigt, welche sich senkrecht zur Figurenebene erstrecken. In diesem konusförmigen Teilbereich 51a des Gehäuses 51 ist zwischen den Schienen 21 und 22 eine Lampenfassung 7 ausgebildet, in welche ein Sockel 62b der zweiten Lampe 6 anbringbar ist. Der Sockel 62b ist einem Unterteil 62 der zweiten Lampe 6 zugeordnet, welches neben dem Sockel 62b ein Gehäuse 62a umfasst. In dem Gehäuse 62a kann ein elektronisches Vorschaltgerät (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet sein, welches zum Betrieb der Lampe 6 vorgesehen ist. Das elektronische Vorschaltgerät ist bevorzugt als voll dimmbares Gerät ausgelegt und zum Betrieb an Phasendimmern vorgesehen. Ein Entladungsgefäß 61 erstreckt sich bereichsweise in dieses Gehäuse 62a.The housing 51 of the transformer 5 has a lower tapered portion 51a. On the side facing away from the ceiling 11 of this portion 51 a, the rails 21 and 22 are fixed, which extend perpendicular to the plane of the figure. In this conical portion 51 a of the housing 51, a lamp socket 7 is formed between the rails 21 and 22, in which a socket 62 b of the second lamp 6 is attachable. The base 62b is associated with a lower part 62 of the second lamp 6, which comprises a housing 62a in addition to the base 62b. In the housing 62 a, an electronic ballast (not shown) may be arranged, which is provided for the operation of the lamp 6. The electronic ballast is preferably designed as a fully dimmable device and provided for operation on phase dimmers. A discharge vessel 61 extends partially into this housing 62a.

Der Sockel 62b kann als Schraubsockel ausgebildet sein. Ebenso kann jedoch eine Bajonettverbindung zwischen dem Sockel 62b und der Fassung 7 vorgesehen sein und somit eine zu einem Schraubsockel unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung konzipiert sein. Der Sockel 62b ist über Leitungen bzw. Signalverbindungen 8 und 9 mit einer Lüsterklemme 10 verbunden.The base 62b may be formed as a screw base. Likewise, however, a bayonet connection between the base 62b and the socket 7 may be provided and thus be designed to a screw base different configuration. The base 62b is connected via lines or signal connections 8 and 9 with a luster terminal 10.

Die zweite Lampe 6 wird somit über Netzspannung mit Energie versorgt und ist darüber hinaus auch mit einer Dimmereinheit, insbesondere einem Phasenanschnittsdimmer, elektrisch verbunden.The second lamp 6 is thus supplied with power via mains voltage and, moreover, is also electrically connected to a dimmer unit, in particular a phase-angle dimmer.

Alle der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 1 zugeordneten Lampen 3 und 6 sind somit auch dimmbar.All of the lighting device 1 associated lamps 3 and 6 are thus dimmable.

Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass an dem Gehäuse 51 eine lichtdurchlässige Abdeckung (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet ist, welche die zweite Lampe 2 sichtseitig abdeckt.Furthermore, it can be provided that a light-permeable cover (not shown), which covers the second lamp 2 on the visible side, is arranged on the housing 51.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass an dem Gehäuse 51 eine Mehrzahl von zweiten Lampen 6 angeordnet ist und mit Netzspannung verbunden ist. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass eine zweite Lampe 6 nicht zwischen den Schienen 21 und 22 angeordnet ist, sondern beispielsweise an der schräg verlaufenden Seitenwand des konusförmigen Teilbereichs 51a angeordnet ist.It can also be provided that a plurality of second lamps 6 is arranged on the housing 51 and is connected to mains voltage. It can also be provided that a second lamp 6 is not arranged between the rails 21 and 22, but is arranged, for example, on the obliquely extending side wall of the conical portion 51a.
