Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of lighting arrangements, in particular for lighting purposes in buildings, for example in the interiors of these.
  • the invention relates in particular to the field of track lighting systems.
  • the invention relates to an adapter for use in a track lighting system and to a lighting arrangement with such an adapter.
  • Rail systems for lighting purposes are already known. For example, systems have already been proposed in which electrical conductors are integrated into a rail profile to provide a supply voltage.
  • Track lighting systems of this type can e.g. B. include light inserts of different types, such as spots or linear light inserts, although these inserts can also be combined.
  • the DE 10 2015 112 838 A1 describes the DE 10 2015 112 838 A1 a busbar with a substantially U-shaped profile that is open at the bottom and in which power lines run in the longitudinal direction.
  • the DE 10 2015 112 838 A1 describes an adapter which has a rotatable contact spring for establishing contact with the power lines, this contact spring being attached to a rotatable shaft and the shaft being rotatable by means of a tool.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing an adapter and a lighting arrangement in such a way that contacting the adapter with conductors on a rail is more convenient and easier, in particular without the space requirement for the adapter increasing in an undesirable manner.
  • this object is achieved by an adapter with the features of claim 1 and / or by a lighting arrangement with the features of claim 15.
  • an adapter for use in a track lighting system is proposed, the adapter being designed to be inserted into a rail of the track lighting system.
  • the rail here has a conductor device with conductors
  • the adapter has contact elements, and when the adapter is inserted, the conductors can be contacted by means of the contact elements.
  • the contact elements can be moved into a contacting position in which they protrude from the adapter for contacting the conductors, and into a non-contacting position in which the adapter can be inserted into the rail or removed from the rail.
  • the movement of the contact elements between the contacting position and the non-contacting position can be brought about by an operator using a displaceably arranged actuating element of the adapter.
  • a lighting arrangement comprising a rail, at least one lighting device or a lighting module, and at least one such adapter for coupling the lighting device or the lighting module with a conductor device on the rail.
  • One idea underlying the invention is to make the adapter narrow and space-saving and at the same time to enable comfortable, simple actuation for moving the contact elements between the contacting and non-contacting positions, by means of this movement by means of a displaceable actuating element, for example in the manner of a " "slider control” is achieved.
  • the operator can manually move the actuating element from a contacting position to an installation/removal position by means of a simple movement, and thereby bring the contact elements into the desired position by means of a simple manual movement. Instead of a torque, the operator can easily apply a force along the direction of displacement to the actuating element.
  • a movable actuating element can be arranged to save space. In particular, it can be avoided that the actuating element protrudes undesirably from an outer cross section of the adapter. This allows a more space-saving and compact track lighting system to be realized.
  • a lighting arrangement with such an adapter is compact and space-saving and can be assembled and put into an operational state in a particularly simple and quick manner.
  • the adapter is designed for insertion into the rail such that the conductors run laterally, in particular on both sides, of the adapter when the adapter is inserted. Furthermore, it is provided that in the contacting position the contact elements protrude laterally on the adapter.
  • the conductors that can be contacted by the contact elements can be arranged parallel to one another. This can, for example, be appropriate accommodation a variety of conductors for different purposes, for example for power supply and supply of control signals, and their space-saving contacting.
  • the actuating element for moving the contact elements can be actuated by the operator without tools. It is therefore not necessary to carry a tool for assembly and it is avoided that the tool is forgotten or misplaced.
  • the adapter can be releasably fixed to the rail by actuating the displaceably arranged actuating element for moving the contact elements in an interior space of the rail in which the adapter is accommodated in the inserted state, in particular at a selectable location along a longitudinal direction of the rail can be fixed, for example at any desired location.
  • the adapter can thus be arranged in a practical and comfortable manner within the rail in a space-saving manner, preferably positioned freely in the longitudinal direction of the rail and fixed and released again at a desired location along the rail in a simple and, in particular, tool-free manner.
  • the displaceable actuating element which can also be referred to as a type of "slider”, thus takes on an additional function within a fixing mechanism, for mechanically fixing the adapter, in particular in the contacting position, and for releasing this fixation, in particular in the non-contacting position.
  • the actuating element can be moved in a straight line by the operator. The operation is therefore simple and clear for the operator. Such an actuating element can easily be integrated into an elongated adapter, for example.
  • the contact elements are arranged on a carrier body which is rotatably mounted in a housing of the adapter.
  • the connection to several electrical conductors, and in particular to electrical conductors along both profile sides or legs of the rail, can be made more easily way to enable.
  • the contact elements can thus be folded in and out of the adapter.
  • the carrier body can, for example, be designed with an external shape that is at least partially cylindrical or cylindrical, although different outlines or external shapes of the carrier body are also conceivable as an alternative. This makes it possible, for example by means of the cylindrical or cylinder-like shape, to make the adapter particularly narrow and space-saving.
  • the displaceably arranged actuating element is coupled to the carrier body in such a way that the carrier body can be rotated by moving the actuating element.
  • the actuating element is displaceable relative to the housing of the adapter and the carrier body can be rotated relative to the housing by means of the displacement movement of the actuating element.
  • the actuating element has a flat plate-shaped section, an engagement geometry formed on or in a first main surface area of the plate-shaped section and a guide contour formed in the area of a second main surface area of the plate-shaped section which is opposite to the first main surface area.
  • a control projection arranged eccentrically relative to an axis of rotation of the carrier body is formed on an end face of the rotatably mounted carrier body or on an element which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the carrier body and is arranged on the front side of the carrier body.
  • the guide contour acts on the control projection, which causes the carrier body to rotate.
  • the engagement geometry formed on or in the first main surface area of the plate-shaped section is formed with a transverse rib projecting from the first main surface area. This can further facilitate effective operation by the operator.
  • the engagement geometry is designed with a recess in the first main surface area, in particular a transverse recess. This can also help save installation space.
  • transverse rib and the recess are provided in combination with one another to form the engagement geometry.
  • the actuating element is arranged in the region of an outer surface of the adapter that faces an open side of the rail when the adapter is inserted. The actuating element is therefore easily accessible when the adapter is inserted into the rail.
  • the actuating element is arranged flush or set back relative to a flat surface which forms the outer surface of the adapter on a side of the adapter facing the open side of the rail.
  • the actuating element or the “slider” therefore does not protrude from the cross section of the adapter and therefore does not take up any additional space.
  • the conductors that can be contacted by the contact elements are designed to provide an electrical supply voltage and/or a control signal for lighting devices or lighting modules of the track lighting system. Furthermore, the contact elements are designed to pick up the supply voltage or the control signals from the conductors. This helps achieve flexible lighting solutions and effects.
  • the adapter has a device for phase selection on, by means of which a module that is coupled or can be coupled to the adapter, which can in particular be a lighting device or a lighting module, with a selectable one of several electrical phases provided by the conductor device, with which the adapter is electrically coupled in the contacting position, can be electrically coupled to supply the module.
  • the adapter is set up to receive a control signal from the conductor device by means of one or more of the contact elements and to interpret the control signal and to control a module that is coupled or can be coupled to the adapter, in particular a lighting device or a lighting module, depending on the control signal and/or to forward the control signal to a module that is coupled or can be coupled to the adapter, in particular a lighting device or a lighting module.
  • a length of the adapter which in the inserted state of the adapter is essentially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the rail, is between 300 mm and 400 mm and/or that a height that is in the inserted state of the Adapter is essentially parallel to a depth direction of the rail, is between 20 mm and 40 mm and / or that a width of the adapter, which is measured, for example, in the inserted state of the adapter, essentially normal to the depth direction and the longitudinal direction of the rail, between 10 mm and 20 mm.
  • the length of the adapter may be approximately 356 mm
  • the height may be approximately 30 mm
  • the width may be approximately 14 mm.
  • Other lengths, widths and heights may also be advantageous and useful.
  • Such an adapter is slim, space-saving and can be integrated into a narrow rail.
  • the adapter is in an outer surface area of the adapter facing a base of the rail when the adapter is inserted, at least in sections with a longitudinal center plane the adapter has an asymmetrical shape. In this way, it can be ensured, in particular in cooperation with an inner surface area of the base of the rail that corresponds at least partially to the outer surface area of the adapter, that the adapter is inserted into the rail in the correct orientation.

  • the numbers of conductors 4 and/or contact elements 5 can vary and z. B. also be the same.
  • the adapter 1 and the rail 2 are further designed in such a way that it is ensured that the adapter 1 is always correctly inserted into the rail 2 in such a way that the contact elements 5 each contact the intended conductors 4 as desired.
  • the housing 8 of the adapter 1 on that narrow longitudinal side which faces the base of the rail 2 connecting the legs of the base body 26 is designed to be asymmetrically in sections in the area of the outer surface of the adapter 1.
  • the asymmetry refers to a longitudinal center plane of the adapter 1, which is in Fig. 7 , in which the adapter 1 is located in the interior 7, coincides with the longitudinal center plane 28 of the rail 2 in this exemplary embodiment.
  • the adapter 1 has a step-like cross-sectional geometry adjacent to the base of the rail 2 in the area of its outer surface, which is arranged asymmetrically to its longitudinal center plane, with a relative to the longitudinal center plane, and thus in Fig. 7 to the level 28, laterally shifted elevation 41. In this way, a recessed area 42 is formed to the side of the elevation 41.
  • the base of the rail 2 is formed on the inside with projections 43 and 44 directed towards the interior 7 and a gap 45 between the projections 43, 44.
  • the projections 43, 44 are preferably introduced into the base body 26 as longitudinal rib-like sections during extrusion. In cross section, the groove-like space 45 corresponds to the elevation 41. Due to the asymmetrical positioning of the elevation 41 and the space 45, the adapter 1 can only be completely inserted into the interior 7 in one orientation.
  • a lighting arrangement 100 can thus be provided with one or more rails 2, one or more lighting devices 50 and/or other types of lighting modules, and with at least one adapter 1, or several adapters 1, as described above with reference to Fig. 1-9 is described, can be designed, wherein the adapter 1 can couple the lighting unit 50 or the lighting module to the conductor device 3.
