Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a modular lamp mounting device, a corresponding wall mounting module and a corresponding lamp mounting module.

[0002] In the following, the term "wall" refers to side walls, floor walls, and ceiling walls, although the present invention and the underlying problem are explained using ceiling walls / lights as an example. State of the art

[0003] Generally, light fixtures are mounted on a wall using a stationary, pot-shaped wall bracket. The bracket is screwed to the wall over an electrical connection cable, and the house's electrical supply cables are fed through a recess in the back of the bracket. The light fixture has a corresponding connector into which the electrical supply cables are routed. Inside the bracket, the house's supply cables and the light fixture's connection cables are electrically connected using cable connectors, such as terminal blocks. The connector is then placed over the bracket and screwed into place.

[0004] DE 20 2021 001 582 U1 describes a device for changing wall and ceiling lights.

[0005] DE 10 2013 203 021 A1 discloses a lighting device with modularly combinable functional units, wherein a power source and a light source are provided as basic units, wherein the basic units can be supplemented by at least one further functional unit, which can be arranged upstream of the power source, between the power source and the light source or downstream of the light source, and wherein the functional units can be combined with each other mechanically, electrically and / or optically, taking into account their specific function, namely, to form the device modularly.

[0006] DE 10 2018 122 361 A1 describes a modular lighting system comprising at least one luminaire base body and a luminaire support structure for attaching the luminaire base body, wherein at least one adapter element is included which is designed to be both electrically contacting and mechanically fastening, in particular axially fastening, wherein each luminaire base body can be connected to the luminaire support structure via an adapter element and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the adapter element relative to the luminaire support structure.

[0007] Further modular luminaire mounting devices are known from US 2019 / 0 234 A1, DE 20 2020 002 357 U1, DE 10 2007 023 639 A1 and DE 199 46 621 A1.

[0008] The current state of the art has numerous disadvantages. Generally, light fixtures, especially 220V fixtures, should only be installed by qualified personnel, who are often difficult to find. For example, to replace a ceiling light (e.g., when moving house), you first have to drill holes for the light fixture's mounting, which creates dust. When moving out, the old holes in the wall have to be filled, often resulting in holes or poorly filled holes around the electrical wiring. Changing the lamp model also regularly requires drilling new holes for the mounting bracket.

[0009] The electrician regularly needs at least a screwdriver to connect the electrical cables to the light fixture, i.e., three cables. One problem is that work usually has to be done overhead, and often the cable colors are barely recognizable due to repeated painting. Furthermore, the cable stubs hanging from the wall are brittle or shortened from frequent disconnecting and reconnecting, which can lead to short circuits or cause the cables to become so short that connecting the light fixture cables is extremely difficult.

[0010] Cleaning such a stationary light fixture is also often difficult and involves dangers on a ladder, as does changing the light source, especially a light bulb.

[0011] Finally, correct alignment of a stationary light fixture in a plane parallel to the wall or around an axis defined by the building's electrical connection is, if at all possible, only possible to a very limited extent, e.g., via corresponding elongated holes. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular light fixture mounting device, a corresponding wall mounting module, and a corresponding light fixture mounting module that are easily and variably adjustable and can be easily disassembled and reassembled. Disclosure of the invention

[0012] The present invention provides a modular luminaire mounting device according to independent claim 1, a corresponding wall mounting module according to independent claim 14 and a corresponding luminaire mounting module according to independent claim 15.

[0013] Preferred further training courses are the subject of the respective sub-claims. Advantages of the invention

[0014] The underlying idea of ​​the present invention is that a pull-lock mechanism is provided, comprising a sliding plate insert and a sliding slide insert that is locked to it. The sliding plate insert is rotatably locked in an outer area of ​​the wall mounting module, and the sliding slide insert is displaceable from the outside in this outer area between a locked position and an open position. A plurality of locking pins of the light mounting module are pulled-locked by the sliding plate insert in the locked position and released by the sliding plate insert in the open position.

[0015] In particular, to install and remove a light fixture, only the wall mounting module and the light fixture mounting module need to be mechanically connected or mechanically separated, without any intervention in the electrical wiring structure.

[0016] The modular luminaire mounting device according to the invention, the corresponding wall mounting module and the corresponding luminaire mounting module.

[0017] They therefore have the advantage of being easier to align and simple to disassemble and reassemble, preferably without tools or at least without working with cable connectors, so that replacement can be easily carried out even by laypersons and those without technical expertise (at least after the initial installation of the wall mounting module). After the initial installation, anyone without specialist training can also change the lamp at will.

[0018] When changing luminaires, the wall mounting module according to the invention is already present after initial installation and usually does not need to be replaced, i.e. no new holes need to be drilled and no work needs to be carried out on the electrical connection cables.

[0019] Specialist personnel are no longer required because, in the modular lamp mounting device according to the invention, the electrical contacting and the mechanical mounting are produced by simple mechanical assembly.

[0020] When moving house, the light fixture is simply removed from the ceiling, while the wall mounting module can remain in place. This means no filling or unscrewing is required. Cleaning the light, changing the bulb, or replacing the entire fixture can be easily accomplished by separating and reconnecting the two modules.

[0021] In particular, replacing the entire light fixture is so easy that anyone can purchase a new light without worrying about a potentially messy and / or complicated electrical installation. This has the further advantage of increasing light fixture sales, because the light fixture transforms from a purely stationary, functional object into an interchangeable decorative item that can be easily swapped out.

[0048] The first to third electrical sliding contact plates SK1 to SK3 each have a first to third u-shaped upward-curved tab LU1, LU2, LU3 on their upper side, which serve to receive the first to third electrical sliding contact ring SR1 to SR3.

[0049] A first and second through-hole PL1, PL2 in the first circuit board P1 serve to accommodate fasteners, e.g. screws.

[0050] Fig. Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a protective plate locking part for use in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] The protective plate locking element SR has a central section SM with an arcuate outer edge SB for contact with the web ST and a through-hole SO for receiving a fastener, e.g., a screw. A cylindrical projection RZ1, RZ2 is provided at each of the outer longitudinal ends. The first cylindrical projection RZ1 has a first locking lug RN1 on its upper surface, and the second cylindrical projection RZ2 has a second locking lug RN2 on its upper surface.

[0053] The protective plate SSP is an approximately three-quarter-circle molded part made of plastic, which has a first and second locking opening DO1, DO2 in the central area. The diameter of the circle corresponds to that of the inner wall W.

[0054] Fig. Figures 5a)-c) show schematic representations to illustrate the wall mounting module for the modular luminaire mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention with the first circuit board insert and the protective plate locking element attached; namely Fig. 5a) a plan view of the luminaire mounting module mounting side, Fig. 5b) a perspective view of the luminaire mounting module mounting side and Fig. 5c) a flat top view of the wall mounting side.

[0055] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 5a)-c) not all reference symbols are shown.

[0056] As in Fig. As shown in 5a)-c), the protective plate locking part SR is connected to the wall mounting module 10 via a screw SC1, which is guided through the through hole SO into the threaded bushing G1, with the cylindrical projections RZ1, RZ2 being inserted into the first and second centering holes Z1, Z2.

[0057] The first circuit board insert PT1 is inserted into the recess AS from the wall mounting side 10a and connected to the wall mounting module 10 by means of a first and second screw SD1, SD2, which are guided through the first and second through holes PL1, PL2 into the threaded bushings G2, G3.

[0058] The first to third electrical sliding contact plates SK1 to SK3 are guided through the first to third opening O1 to O3 in the area of ​​the recess AS into the first to third guide channel area N1 to N3, so that they are electrically isolated from each other.

[0059] The first terminal block KB1 is recessed in the recess AS and extends through the receiving opening Al to the light mounting module mounting side 10b.

[0060] Fig. Figure 6 shows a plan view of the luminaire mounting module mounting side of the wall mounting module for the modular luminaire mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention with the protective plate attached.

[0061] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 6 not all reference symbols shown.

[0062] The protective plate SSP is locked to the first and second locking lugs RN1 and RN2 of the protective plate locking element SR via the first and second locking openings DO1 and DO2. Due to its shape, the protective plate SSP covers approximately three-quarters of the inner area BI and only exposes a portion of the contact block KB and the webs S1 to S3 with the sliding contact plates SK1 to SK3 in the first to third guide channel areas N1 to N3.

[0063] This means that, in particular, the cables to be routed through the first and second through-holes L1 and L2 as cable passages, as well as the insertion openings of the first to third contact terminals K1 to K3, are covered to protect the user when changing a light fixture.

[0064] Fig. Figures 7a) and 7b) show perspective views of a wall-side cover plate for use in the embodiment of the present invention, namely Fig. 7a) a subpage view and Fig. 7b) a top view.

[0065] The wall-side cover plate SWP is an approximately quarter-circle molded plastic part, which has locking projections RP and a guide step STP in the edge area. The contours of the wall-side cover plate SWP correspond to the contours of the recess AS.

[0066] Fig. Figure 8 shows a plan view of the wall mounting side of the wall mounting module for the modular luminaire mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention with the wall-side cover plate attached.

[0067] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 8 not all reference symbols shown.

[0068] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the wall-side cover plate SWP is inserted flush into the recess AS and recessed, so that the wall mounting side 10 is planar.

[0069] Fig. Figures 9a) and 9b) show plan views of a sliding plate insert for use in the embodiment of the present invention, namely Fig. 9a) a top view and Fig. 9b) a subpage view.

[0070] The sliding plate insert GE has a circular shape, which is dimensioned such that it fits flush into the outer area BA of the wall mounting module 10, i.e. between the inner wall W and the side wall SF1.

[0071] On the upper surface OG of the sliding plate insert GE, a first and a second straight locking rib RS1, RS2 are provided parallel to each other and opposite each other on the inner periphery. The two locking ribs RS1, RS2 are connected on the inner periphery by a first and second arcuate wall section W1, W2.

[0072] Furthermore, a first to fourth arc-shaped stopper bridge SS1 to SS4 is provided on the outer periphery between the two locking bars RS1, RS2.

[0073] A spring receptacle FE extends between the third and fourth arcuate stopper webs SS3, SS4 from the center of the first arcuate wall section W1 to the outer periphery. A feedthrough DF extends between the first and second stopper webs SS1, SS2 from the center of the second wall section W2 to the outer periphery. A vertical guide web ST0 is provided on the bottom side of the feedthrough DF.

[0074] A first and a second horizontal collar-shaped guide rib H1, H2 are formed on both sides of the penetration DF on the second wall section W2.

[0075] The underside UG is planar, with the visible holes being due to the manufacturing process.

[0076] Fig. Figures 10a) and 10b) show plan views of a sliding slide insert for use in the embodiment of the present invention, namely Fig. 10a) a top view and Fig. 10b) a subpage view.

[0077] The sliding slide insert GG is also ring-shaped and has a smaller diametrical extent than the sliding plate insert GE.

[0078] A first and a second linear segment GL1, GL2 and a first and a second arc-shaped segment GB1, GB2 of the sliding slide insert GG are each arranged opposite each other.

[0079] The first linear segment GL1 has a first horizontal linear collar segment K1 on its upper side, and the second linear segment GL2 has a second horizontal linear collar segment K2 on its upper side.

[0080] The first arc-shaped segment GB1 has a first horizontal arc-shaped collar segment B1 on its upper side, and the second arc-shaped segment GB2 has a second horizontal arc-shaped collar segment B2 on its upper side.

[0081] In the middle of the first arc-shaped segment GB1, a pressure plate DR is formed, on the underside of which a first guide FS1 is located, which continues downwards over the first horizontal arc-shaped collar segment B1 and in the assembled state interacts with the spring receptacle FE.

[0082] In the middle of the second arc-shaped segment GB3, a second guide FS2 is provided, which extends downwards over the second arc-shaped collar segment B2 and interacts with the guide rib ST0 in the assembled state.

[0083] A first collar recess A01 is provided between the first arc-shaped collar segment B1 and the second linear collar segment K2. A second collar recess A02 is provided between the second linear collar segment K2 and the second arc-shaped collar segment B2. A third collar recess A03 is provided between the second arc-shaped collar segment B2 and the first linear collar segment K1.

[0085] On both sides of the second guide FS2, a first and a second cutout L1, L2 are provided on the upper side, which in the assembled state interact with the horizontal collar-shaped guide webs H1, H2.

[0086] Fig. Figures 11a) and 11b) show perspective views of a pull-lock mechanism formed by a combination of the sliding plate insert and the sliding slide insert, for use in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] To connect the sliding plate insert GE and the sliding slide insert GG, the sliding slide insert GG is widened between the first and second linear segment GL1, GL2 by reversible deformation and pulled over the first and second detent bridge RS1, RS2 and locked into place.

[0088] A spring assembly FES is then inserted into the spring receptacle FE, causing the sliding slide insert GG to stop against the third and fourth stopper ribs SS3, SS4. This also causes the first and second guide ribs H1, H2 to engage in the first and second cutouts L1, L2.

[0089] The sliding slide insert GG is elastically displaceable between the third and fourth stopper bridge SS3, SS4 on one side (closing position) and the first and second stopper bridge SS1, SS2 on the other side (opening position).

[0091] With reference to Fig. Reference numeral 20 (12a)-d) denotes a luminaire mounting module 20, which has a wall mounting module attachment side 20a and a luminaire attachment side 20b, wherein a luminaire can be attached to the luminaire attachment side 20b, either directly or by using a suitable luminaire adapter. It has a cup-shaped recess 11a on the wall mounting module attachment side 20a, wherein the luminaire attachment side 20b is substantially flat.

[0092] The luminaire mounting module 20, for example, is also a molded plastic part that can be manufactured by injection molding or 3D printing, and also has a circular cross-section with a cylindrical peripheral side wall SF3. The cross-section of the luminaire mounting module 20 and the wall mounting module 10 are essentially the same (see figure). Fig. 17a),b)).

[0093] The wall mounting module attachment side 20a has a cylindrical centering pin ZS at its center for centering on the wall mounting module 10, which originates from an inwardly directed central recess ES. Parallel and concentric to the peripheral side wall SF3 runs an inner wall IW, which has a greater height than the peripheral side wall SF3, with a groove NA being formed in certain areas between the peripheral side wall SF3 and the inner wall IW.

[0094] Molded onto the inner wall IW are a first to fifth locking pin RS10-RS50, each of which has a beveled locking lug and which serve to engage with the pull-locking mechanism, as will be explained later.

[0095] On the bottom side in the outer area of ​​a recess AS1, a receiving opening AI1 is provided for receiving a second terminal block KB1 for connecting electrical conductors of a light (e.g. phase / ground / neutral), as will be explained in more detail later.

[0096] Reference numerals G10, G11, G13 denote inwardly open bottom-side threaded bushings, and reference numerals G13 to G18 denote outwardly open bottom-side threaded bushings, the latter of which can be used for attaching a light (not shown).

[0097] Starting from the central indentation ES in a star shape, a first to seventh support strip AL1 to AL7 extend, each of which is slotted three times and serves for the spaced insertion of a first to third ring-shaped conductor band ring LR1 to LR3, as will be explained later.

[0098] Reference numeral DRO denotes a receiving area for the pressure plate DR of the sliding valve insert GG, reference numeral RR a receiving area for a locking valve SSR and reference numeral LZ a through opening for a gear shaft, as will also be explained later.

[0099] On the luminaire mounting side 20b, in the area of ​​the receiving opening AI1, the recess AS1 is provided for the recessed receiving of the second terminal contact block KB1.

[0100] Fig. Figure 13 shows a perspective view of a second circuit board insert for use in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0101] The second circuit board insert PT2 has a second circuit board P2, which is equipped on the front with the first to third annular conductor band rings LR1 to LR3 and on the back with the second terminal contact block KB1 for connecting external electrical conductors. The second terminal contact block KB1 has a first to third contact terminal K1' to K3' (see figure). Fig. 15b)).

[0102] The second circuit board P2 has a first to third conductor track (not shown) on the front side, which connects the first to third conductor band ring LR1 to LR3 with the first to third contact terminal K1' to K3'.

[0103] A first and second through-hole PL3, PL4 in the second circuit board P2 serve to accommodate fasteners, e.g. screws.

[0104] Fig. Figure 14 shows a lateral partial view of the lamp mounting module with a rotary locking mechanism formed by a combination of a gear and a locking slide, for a modular lamp mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0105] The rotary locking mechanism DV has a receiving area RR for the locking slide SSR and a gear ZR, the gear axis of which is rotatably inserted into the through-opening LZ. In the Fig. In the illustration shown in Figure 14, a locking tip SSR1 of the locking slide SSR prevents the rotation of the gear ZR by engaging with its teeth. When the locking slide SSR is moved away from the gear ZR in the receiving area RR, the locking tip SSR1 releases the rotation of the gear ZR. In the assembled state of wall mounting module 10 and light mounting module 20, the gear ZR interacts with the teeth Z of the wall mounting module 10 and determines the rotation of the light mounting module 20 relative to the wall mounting module 10.

[0106] Fig. Figures 15a) and 15b) show schematic representations to illustrate the lamp holder module for the modular lamp holder device according to the embodiment of the present invention with the second circuit board insert and the rotary locking mechanism attached; namely Fig. 15a) a plan view of the wall mounting module mounting side and Fig. 15b) a perspective view of the side where the light fixture is mounted and Fig. 15c) a plan view of the wall mounting side.

[0107] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 15a),b) not all reference symbols are shown.

[0108] The second circuit board insert PT2 is inserted into the recess AS1 and connected to the lamp holder module 20 by means of a first and second screw SE1, SE2, which are guided through the first and second through holes PL3, PL4 into the threaded bushings G10, G11.

[0109] The first to third conductor band rings LR1 to LR3 are inserted into the slots of the first to seventh carrier strips AL1 to AL7 at intervals, so that they are electrically insulated from one another. The first to third conductor band rings LR1 to LR3 may have a small open gap on the second circuit board P2, or they may have a soldered or welded gap.

[0110] The second terminal block KB1 is recessed flush in the recess AS1 and exposed towards the light mounting side 20b.

[0111] A cover plate ADV is mounted over the locking slide SSR and the gear ZR by means of a screw SE3 which engages in the threaded bushing G12, whereby the part of the gear ZR exceeding the side wall SF3 is exposed.

[0112] Fig. Figures 16a) and 16b) show schematic representations to illustrate the wall mounting module for the modular luminaire mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention with an additionally attached pull-lock mechanism; namely Fig. 16a) a plan view of the luminaire mounting module mounting side and Fig. 16b) a plan view of the wall mounting side.

[0113] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 16a),b) not all reference symbols are shown.

[0114] According to Fig. 16a),b) the latched pull-locking mechanism with the sliding plate insert GE and the sliding slide insert GG as well as the spring device FES inserted into the spring receptacle FE is inserted into the outer area BA and rotatably latched there by means of the first to eighth locking lugs R1 to R8.

[0115] The locking mechanism is in the locked position, with the pressure plate DR protruding slightly beyond the side wall SF1.

[0116] Fig. Figures 17a) and 17b) show perspective views of the composite lamp mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 17a),b) not all reference symbols are shown.

[0118] To assemble the luminaire mounting device, the luminaire mounting module 20 is placed onto the wall mounting module 10 such that the pressure plate DR is positioned above the receiving area for the pressure plate DR. The luminaire mounting module 20 is then locked into place with the wall mounting module 10 by applying pressure to the luminaire mounting side 20b.

[0119] The first to fifth locking pins RS10-RS50, with their respective angled locking lugs, press against the sliding slide insert GG in the area of ​​the first to fifth chamfers SG1 to SG5, moving it from the closed position to the open position. When the locking lugs of the first to fifth locking pins RS10-RS50 reach a position below the first linear collar segment K1, the second arcuate collar segment B2, the second linear collar segment K2, and the fifth collar-like chamfer SG5, the sliding slide insert GG moves back from the open position to the closed position. This creates a pull-lock, as the first linear collar segment K1, the second arcuate collar segment B2, the second linear collar segment K2, and the fifth collar-like chamfer SG5, under the influence of the spring mechanism FES, move over the locking lugs of the first to fifth locking pins RS10-RS50.

[0120] Since the pull-locking mechanism with the sliding plate insert GE and the sliding slide insert GG as well as the spring assembly FES inserted into the spring receptacle FE is inserted in the outer area BA and rotatably locked there by means of the first to eighth locking lugs R1 to R8, a free rotation of the luminaire mounting module 20 relative to the wall mounting module 10 is maintained, because when a torque is applied to the luminaire mounting module 20, the first to fifth locking pins RS10-RS50 in the locked position can exert the torque on the sliding plate insert GE, which in turn can exert the torque on the sliding slide insert GG.

[0121] The gear ZR runs on the toothing Z on the top of the side wall SF1 of the wall mounting module 10 when the locking slide SSR is in the unlocked state, i.e. the locking tip SSR1 does not engage in the toothing of the gear.

[0122] When the locking slide SSR is moved into the locked state, i.e., the locking tip SSR1 engages in the teeth of the gear, rotation is prevented, thus a pull lock and a rotary lock are present.

[0123] Fig. Figures 18a) and 18b) show schematic representations to illustrate the pull-lock mechanism for the modular lamp mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention, namely Fig. 18a) in the vertical cross-section and Fig. 18b) as a lateral partial view of the pull-locking mechanism and the lamp mounting device.

[0124] This shows Fig. 18a) the pull-lock of the locking pin RS30 by the fifth collar-like chamfer SG5 and Fig. 18b) the pull-locking of the locking pins RS10 and RS20 by the first linear collar segment K1.

[0125] Fig. Figure 19 shows a perspective exploded view of the modular lamp mounting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0126] All screws for fastening are included. Fig. 19 omitted.

[0127] Although the present invention has been fully described above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto, but can be modified in many ways.

[0128] In particular, the materials and structures mentioned are only examples and not limiting. For instance, the pull-lock mechanism with the sliding plate insert and the sliding slide insert can be varied in many ways with regard to the detent elements and the design of the detent pins and their detent lugs.
