Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Anpassung von Leuchtmittelfassung, wie durch den Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruches 1 beschrieben.The present invention relates to a device for adapting bulb socket, as described by the preamble of independent claim 1.

Es ist ein bekanntes Problem, das im Zuge der Bemühungen zur Reduzierung des Kohlendioxidausstoßes innerhalb der Europäischen Union Anstrengungen unternommen werden, um in jeder nur erdenklichen Form Energie zu sparen.It is a well-known problem that efforts are being made to reduce carbon dioxide emissions within the European Union to save energy in every conceivable form.

Ein relativ großes Energieeinsparungspotential ist dabei im Bereich der Beleuchtungstechnik identifiziert worden, da eine Vielzahl von Leuchtmittel, wie sie heute noch verwendet werden, eine relativ geringen Wirkungsgrad haben, wobei ein großer Anteil der zugeführten elektrischen Energie in Wärme umgewandelt wird und nur ein kleiner Teil der eingesetzten Energie als Licht abgestrahlt wird.A relatively large energy-saving potential has been identified in the field of lighting technology, since a variety of lighting means, as they are still used, have a relatively low efficiency, wherein a large proportion of the supplied electrical energy is converted into heat and only a small part of used energy is emitted as light.

Es existieren auf Grund dieser Tatsache Bemühungen, diese relativ ineffektiven Leuchtmittel durch effektivere Leuchtmittel zu ersetzen um so in der großen Fläche eine entsprechende Energieeinsparung zu erzielen.There are efforts on the basis of this fact to replace these relatively ineffective bulbs with more effective bulbs so as to achieve a corresponding energy saving in the large area.

Diese Bemühungen um eine Energieeinsparung kollidieren zwangsläufig mit der Tatsache, dass ein Großteil der bereits installierten Leuchten Leuchtenfassungen aufweisen, die nicht mit entsprechend energieeffizienteren Leuchtmitteln kompatibel sind.These efforts to save energy inevitably collide with the fact that most of the luminaires already installed have luminaire sockets that are not compatible with more energy-efficient luminaires.

Wenn man aber das bezüglich dieser installierten Leuchten vorhandene Energieeinsparungspotential heben möchte, besteht ein Bedarf an einer Vorrichtung, die es ermöglicht entsprechend energieeffizientere Leuchtmittel auch mit Leuchtmittelfassungen zu beschreiben, die mit diesem energieeffizienteren Leuchtmitteln nicht kompatibel sind.However, if one wishes to raise the existing energy savings potential with respect to these installed luminaires, there is a need for a device which makes it possible to describe correspondingly more energy-efficient illuminants also with illuminant holders that are incompatible with this more energy-efficient illuminant.

Nach Maßgabe der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen eine Vorrichtung zur Anpassung von Leuchtmittelfassungen, mit einem mehrseitigen Gehäuse, welches an einer Seite eine mit dem weiblichen Teil einer definierten Leuchtmittelfassung versehen ist und auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite mit dem männlichen Teil einer anderen definierten Leuchtmittelfassung, wobei die gegenüber liegenden Leuchtmittelfassungen im inneren des Gehäuses miteinander verdrahtet sind.According to the invention, therefore, there is provided a device for adapting light sources, with a multi-sided housing, which is provided on one side with the female part of a defined bulb holder and on the opposite side with the male part of another defined bulb holder, wherein the opposite lamp holders are wired together inside the housing.

Mit einer solchen Vorrichtung beziehungsweise Adapter schafft man bezüglich der Leuchtmittel, die mit einer gegebenen Fassung in einer Leuchte verwendet werden können, eine enorme Flexibilität.With such a device or adapter is created with respect to the bulbs that can be used with a given version in a lamp, an enormous flexibility.

Die Vorrichtung kann dabei vorzugsweise so ausgestattet sein, dass das Gehäuse die einer Walze entsprechende Form mit flachen Stirnflächen aufweist, wobei die jeweiligen Leuchtmittelfassungen auf den Stirnflächen vorgesehen sind. Natürlich könnte das Gehäuse im Endeffekt auch jede andere beliebige Form annehmen, solange es so platzsparend ausgestaltet ist, dass der Adapter beziehungsweise die Vorrichtung in einer entsprechenden Leucht untergebracht werden kann, einschließlich des alternativen Leuchtmittels.In this case, the device may preferably be equipped such that the housing has the shape corresponding to a roller with flat end faces, wherein the respective illuminant mountings are provided on the end faces. Of course, the housing could ultimately take any other arbitrary shape, as long as it is designed to save space, that the adapter or the device can be accommodated in a corresponding light, including the alternative light source.

Weiterhin kann je nach Bedarf natürlich vorgesehen sein, dass in dem Gehäuse eine Leistungselektronik zur Ansteuerung der Leuchtmittelfassungen vorgesehen ist, um beispielsweise die Möglichkeit zu bieten, Niedervoltleuchtmittel auch in Fassung für Hochvoltleuchtmittel zu betreiben.Furthermore, it can of course be provided as needed, that in the housing a power electronics for controlling the Leuchtmittelfassungen is provided to provide, for example, the ability to operate low-voltage lighting in version for Hochvoltleuchtmittel.

Um eine noch größere Flexibilität zu erreichen, kann es auch vorgesehen sein, das die Leuchtmittelfassungen austauschbar in dem Gehäuse aufgenommen sind, wobei es beispielsweise denkbar ist in einem Set ein Adaptergehäuse vorzusehen, sowie in dieses Adaptergehäuse einsetzbar Leuchtmittelfassungen unterschiedlicher Art und Weise.In order to achieve an even greater flexibility, it can also be provided that the bulb sockets are exchangeably received in the housing, it being conceivable, for example, to provide an adapter housing in a set, as well as light-emitting sockets of different types usable in this adapter housing.

Anderseits kann im Sinne einer möglichst kompakten Ausführung der Vorrichtung auch vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest eine der Leuchtmittelfassungen integral mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist, um möglichst wenig Raum zu umbauen.On the other hand, it can also be provided in the sense of the most compact possible embodiment of the device that at least one of the light-emitting sockets is integrally connected to the housing in order to rebuild as little space as possible.

Schließlich ist es bevorzugt, das die eine der Leuchtmittelfassungen eine G9 Fassung ist und die andere eine B15d Fassung.Finally, it is preferred that one of the bulb holders is a G9 socket and the other is a B15d socket.

Weitere Eigenschaften und Vorteile ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform im Zusammenhang mit den beigefügten Zeichnungen, die lediglich der Darstellung dienen und nicht beschränkend zu verstehen sind; darin zeigt:Further characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the description of a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are given by way of illustration only and not by way of limitation; in it shows:

So ist der Figur 1a zunächst ein G9 Leuchtmittel 2 zu entnehmen, das einerseits mit einem Leuchtmittelkörper 4 und einem Leuchtmittelsockel 6 versehen ist.That is how it is FIG. 1a first to take a G9 bulb 2, which is provided on the one hand with a light source 4 and a light bulb socket 6.

Unterhalb des Leuchtmittels 2 ist ein Adapter 8 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung zu erkennen, der an seiner Unterseite den männlichen Teil einer B15 Fassung 10 aufweist und in der oberen Stirnfläche des walzenförmigen Adapterkörper den weiblichen Teil einer G9 Leuchtmittelfassung 12.Below the luminous means 2, an adapter 8 can be seen according to the present invention, which has on its underside the male part of a B15 socket 10 and in the upper end face of the cylindrical adapter body, the female part of a G9 bulb holder 12th

Des Weiteren lässt sich der Figur 1a auch der weibliche Teil einer B15 d Fassung 14 entnehmen die hier als modulares Element ausgebildet ist, zur Verbindung mit einem Fassungshalter 16.Furthermore, can the FIG. 1a also the female part of a B15 d version 14 which is here designed as a modular element, for connection to a socket holder 16.

Die Figuren 1b bis 1d zeigen nun unterschiedliche Montagestadien der Vorrichtung nach Figur 1a, wobei in Figur 1d dann der vollständig montierte Zustand erkennbar ist.The FIGS. 1b to 1d now show different mounting stages of the device FIG. 1a , where in Figure 1d then the fully assembled state is recognizable.
