[0002] Description:

[0003] Technical area

[0004] The present invention relates to a luminaire and a luminaire kit.

[0005] Background of the invention

[0006] State-of-the-art luminaires typically consist of several luminaire components mounted on a common support structure. These luminaire components include, among other things, lamps and one or more electrical components for operating the lamps, such as transformers, signal transmission modules, or control units.

[0007] Depending on the design, the luminaire or its support structure can vary greatly in its dimensions and shape. Examples include round luminaires with a round support structure or longitudinal luminaires with an elongated support structure.

[0008] Said support structures have mounting points for the lamps and the electrical components, in which they are attached using respective fastening devices.

[0009] The fastening of the electrical components is usually extremely cumbersome, so that replacing or retrofitting an electrical component is often difficult or even impossible and is also very time-consuming.

[0010] Summary of the invention

[0011] The present invention is based on the object of providing a possibility for fastening electrical components of a luminaire which is improved compared to the prior art and which in particular allows a flexible, handy and quickly detachable fastening of electrical components.

[0012] To achieve this object, a luminaire according to claim 1 and a luminaire kit according to claim 18 are provided. Furthermore, a component carrier for a luminaire for receiving an electrical component is also provided.

[0013] The respective dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments, which can each be provided individually or in combination. According to a first aspect of the invention, a luminaire is provided which comprises a lighting means and a component carrier for receiving an electrical component for operating the lighting means. The component carrier in turn comprises a base body and a fastening device for releasably fastening the electrical component to be accommodated to the base body, wherein the fastening device is adaptable to a size of the electrical component to be accommodated, such that an electrical component selectable from a plurality of differently dimensioned electrical components can be fastened to the base body.

[0014] The electrical component used to operate the light sources of the luminaire is, by way of example and not exclusively, an element or a combination of several elements from the group of transformers, converters, radio modules for wireless signal transmission, control units, energy storage devices (such as accumulators or batteries) and the like.

[0015] The electrical components can vary in their dimensions depending on the type (transformer, energy storage device, etc.), depending on the performance data of the same type (energy storage devices with different storage capacities, etc.), or even depending on the manufacturer for the same type and performance data. Even in the case of components of the same type, dimensions can also vary across the respective product generations from the same manufacturer.

[0016] The component carrier with size-adjustable fastening device now provides a universal (mechanical) interface for accommodating electrical components, which does not require precisely dimensioned electrical components to be accommodated, so that a large number of differently dimensioned electrical components, i.e. components of very different dimensions and shapes, can be accommodated and fastened.

[0017] In other words, a mounting and fastening option is provided that is largely independent of the dimensions of the electrical components.

[0018] This allows, for example, an electrical component installed in the luminaire to be easily replaced with another, differently dimensioned component without having to replace the component carrier or the mounting itself. This allows, among other things, for a quick and cost-effective replacement of an electrical component installed in the luminaire, for example, during maintenance or retrofitting. An example of a retrofit would be replacing an installed energy storage device with one with a different storage capacity.

[0019] Preferably, the illuminant is an LED or an LED module, which in particular comprises a circuit board with a plurality of LEDs arranged thereon, thereby providing a particularly energy-saving illuminant.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening device comprises a holding element connected to the base body, a fastening element adapted to the holding element, which can be displaced relative to the holding element in order to adapt the size of the fastening device, and a locking device by means of which the fastening element can be locked against displacement relative to the holding element in at least two, preferably at least four and particularly preferably at least eight locking positions, which would loosen the fastening.

[0021] This allows for fastening to be achieved using essentially two elements, namely the holding element and the fastening element, which can be moved relative to each other to adjust the size of the fastening device. Such a design is simple to implement and therefore comparatively cost-effective.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening element and the base body are located opposite one another in such a way that a receiving space for receiving the electrical component is defined between them, wherein the receiving space can be adjusted in size by relative movement of the fastening element to the base body in order to adapt the fastening device to a size of the electrical component to be received.

[0023] Preferably, the base body and fastening device are designed such that the fastening of an electrical component accommodated in the receiving space is achieved by reducing the receiving space through relative movement of the fastening element relative to the base body until the electrical component is positively and / or non-positively secured between the base body and the fastening element. The locking mechanism prevents the fastening element from being dislodged and dislodged.

[0024] Preferably, the fastening element is completely separable from the holding element in order to facilitate access to the receiving space.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening element comprises a web section which at least partially delimits the receiving space in a height direction above the base body, wherein a relative distance between the web section and the base body is adjustable in order to adapt the fastening device to a size of the electrical component to be received.

[0026] This allows the electrical component to be secured between the web section and the base body, with the web section being rigid. This provides a sufficiently rigid attachment. Rigid is understood to mean that the attachment has a flexural rigidity that corresponds to at least 10%, preferably at least 25%, and particularly preferably at least 50% of the flexural rigidity of the base body.

[0027] Preferably, the fastening element has side sections at the ends of the web section, which at least partially delimit the receiving space in a lateral direction.

[0028] This can limit lateral movement of the accommodated electrical components, especially in a fastened state, to prevent them from falling out.

[0029] The height direction preferably corresponds to a direction orthogonal to a receiving surface for the electrical components of the base body, whereas a lateral direction corresponds to a direction at an angle thereto, which in particular runs parallel to the receiving surface.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening device further comprises lateral guide elements which are in particular firmly connected to the base body and / or to the holding element and which at least partially delimit the receiving space in a lateral direction, wherein the fastening element is displaceably guided by the guide elements.

[0031] This not only prevents the electrical component from falling out of the mounting space sideways, but also allows the fastening element to be precisely guided to prevent it from tilting or wedging during its adjustment movements.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the holding element of the fastening device is an integral part of the base body.

[0033] This allows for a particularly rigid overall structure to be provided, to which the fastening element is secured. An integral connection is understood as one that cannot be removed without damage and thus includes, for example, components manufactured from a single piece, but also components consisting of welded or soldered individual parts. Alternatively, the retaining element can also be removably attached to the base body using fasteners, which can simplify the production of the component carrier, for example.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the locking of the fastening device can be released by elastically deforming a portion of the holding element and / or by elastically deforming a portion of the fastening element.

[0035] This provides a particularly easy-to-release locking mechanism that generally does not require the use of tools to release it.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the locking of the fastening device has a latching mechanism.

[0037] In this way, a locking mechanism is provided that is particularly easy to implement and easy to operate, allowing reliable fastening but also quick and easy release.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism comprises at least one locking band section with a plurality of locking elements and a locking element that can be engaged with each locking element of the locking band section in order to define one of the locking positions in each case.

[0039] The locking band section allows a step-by-step locking of the fastening element at the respective positions in which a locking element and a latching element are engaged and preferably comprises at least two, more preferably at least four and particularly preferably at least eight locking elements.

[0040] The locking band section can be designed as part of the holding element and the locking element as part of the fastening element, or the locking band section can be designed as part of the fastening element and the locking element as part of the holding element.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the holding element comprises one or more tab sections and the fastening element comprises a guide section adapted to each of the one or more tab sections, in which guide section the respective tab section is guided.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening element comprises one or more tab sections and the holding element comprises, for each of the one or more tab sections, a guide section adapted to the respective tab section, in which the respective tab section is guided.

[0043] Both designs allow for particularly simple and precise guidance of the fastening element relative to the holding element.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the one or more tab sections each have locking band sections of the locking mechanism with a plurality of locking elements and the associated guide sections each have a locking element of the locking mechanism which can be brought into engagement with each locking element of the locking band section of the associated tab section.

[0045] In this way, the elongated locking band sections are advantageously provided on the likewise elongated tab sections in order to enable locking over a large displacement range of the fastening element.

[0046] Preferably, the holding element comprises two tab sections, in each of which one of two guide sections of the fastening element is guided, wherein the tab sections are preferably each arranged laterally on the receiving space.

[0047] This provides lateral guidance of the fastening element at two points so that it can be moved particularly precisely and without tilting along the tab sections of the holding element.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, at least one guide section comprises a tilting segment which carries the respective latching element, wherein an engagement of the latching element with one of the latching elements of the latching band section of the associated tab section can be released by a tilting movement of the tilting segment which elastically deforms the guide section, in particular all guide sections each comprise such a tilting segment, which are preferably arranged relative to one another in such a way that they can be tilted simultaneously with one hand.

[0049] The tilting segment can be designed as an integral part of the respective guide section, wherein the elastic deformability can be implemented by a section of reduced material thickness which has a lower rigidity than the remaining guide section.

[0050] Alternatively, the tilting segment can also be connected to the guide section via an elastic swivel joint. This design is particularly advantageous in combination with the design in which the retaining element has two tab sections, each of which guides one of the two guide sections of the fastening element, as this provides a particularly easy-to-release fastening with only two engagements on the two locking sections of the tab sections, which can be easily released with one hand.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, at least one tab section is elastically deformable, so that an engagement of one of the locking elements of the locking band section of the at least one tab section with the locking element of the associated guide section can be released by an elastically deforming actuation, in particular all tab sections are designed to be elastically deformable, wherein the tab sections are preferably arranged relative to one another in such a way that they can be actuated simultaneously with one hand.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the luminaire comprises a luminaire support to which the illuminants are fastened, wherein the base body of the component support is preferably designed as an integral part of the luminaire support, or is detachably fastened to the luminaire support via fastening means.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the luminaire comprises an electrical component which can be received in the component carrier and fastened with its fastening device; preferably, the electrical component of the luminaire is an electrical energy store, such as a battery or an accumulator.

[0054] This provides a luminaire with a replaceable energy storage unit or the ability to accommodate a variety of different energy storage units. This allows for quick and easy replacement of an energy storage unit during standalone operation, for example, with a larger energy storage unit with higher storage capacity.

[0055] Preferably, the luminaire is or has an emergency lighting luminaire which is configured to supply the luminaire with electrical energy from the electrical energy storage device, in particular if a primary energy supply, for example a wired primary energy supply, fails.

[0056] When used in emergency lighting luminaires, the design with the proposed component carrier is particularly advantageous, since the energy storage devices relevant for the emergency supply can be quickly replaced and, if necessary, quickly and easily upgraded (with devices with higher energy storage capacity). According to a further aspect of the invention, the component carrier of the luminaire is also provided separately.

[0057] This includes all embodiments relating to the component carrier already described above in connection with the luminaire, which will not be listed again here.

[0058] In this way, existing luminaires can be expanded with the size-adjustable component carrier to accommodate electrical components of different dimensions.

[0059] According to a further aspect, a luminaire kit is provided which comprises a luminaire according to the first aspect or according to one of its preferred embodiments and a plurality of differently dimensioned electrical components, each of which is accommodated by the component carrier of the luminaire and can be fastened to the base body thereof via its size-adjustable fastening device.

[0060] Said luminaire kit, by designing the luminaire with a component carrier with adjustable fastening, provides all the advantages already described in the context of the luminaire, which is provided according to the present aspect of the invention together with a plurality of accommodateable electrical components.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of differently dimensioned electrical components is a plurality of differently dimensioned electrical energy storage devices, such as batteries or accumulators.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the electrical components of the plurality of differently dimensioned electrical components have one or more identically dimensioned outer contour sections which are adapted to an outer contour of a receiving section of the component carrier of the luminaire.

[0063] In this way, an at least partial positive connection can be implemented between the component carrier and the electrical components, which improves the reception and fastening by the fastening device and is present for all of the plurality of electrical components without having to modify the component carrier. Further aspects and their advantages, as well as more specific exemplary embodiments of the aforementioned aspects and embodiments, are described below with the aid of the drawings shown in the attached figures.

[0064] Fig. 1A (in perspective view) and 1B (in perspective detailed view) show an embodiment of the luminaire according to the invention and an electrical component in an assembled state (Fig. 1A) and in an unassembled state (Fig. 1B).

[0068] Fig. 5A (in perspective view) and 5B (in front side view) show views of a further embodiment of a fastening element for use in a component carrier according to the invention of a luminaire according to the invention.

[0069] It is emphasized that the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described below and their features, as long as it is encompassed by the subject matter of the following claims.

[0070] The invention further includes modifications of the above-mentioned embodiments, in particular those resulting from modifications and / or combinations of individual or multiple features of the described embodiments within the scope of protection of the independent claims.

[0071] Detailed character description

[0072] 1A and 1B show an embodiment of the luminaire 1000 according to the invention in an assembled state (Fig. 1A) with the received and secured electrical component 3 (Fig. 1A), as well as a section of the luminaire 1000 in an unassembled state (Fig. 1B). The luminaire 1000 comprises a luminaire carrier 2, a light source (not shown here), and a component carrier 1 for receiving an electrical component 3 for operating the light source, which component is embodied here, by way of example, as an electrical energy storage device 31a.

[0073] In addition to the electrical energy storage device 31a, other electrical components 3 for operating the lighting devices are shown, namely a radio module 32 and a converter 33, which can preferably each be electrically connected to the energy storage device 31a.

[0074] While in the following, according to the illustrated embodiment, an electrical energy store 31a, 31b is described as an example as the electrical component 3, it is understood that in the following, any other electrical component 3 can also be understood instead of the electrical energy store 31a, 31b.

[0075] The component carrier 1 in turn comprises a base body 11 and a fastening device 12 for releasably fastening the energy storage device 31a to be accommodated to the base body 11.

[0076] In the embodiment shown, the base body 11 is designed as an integral component of the elongated lamp support 2.

[0077] The fastening device 12 is adaptable to a size of the energy storage device 31a to be accommodated (see also Fig. 2), such that an energy storage device 31a - selectable from a plurality of differently dimensioned electrical energy storage devices 31a, 31b - can be fastened to the base body 11.

[0078] For this purpose, the fastening device 12 preferably comprises a holding element 110 connected to the base body 11, which in the present case is designed as an integral component of the base body 11, a fastening element 120 adapted to the holding element 110, which is displaceable relative to the holding element 110 in order to adjust the size of the fastening device 12, here in a vertical direction above the base body 11.

[0079] Furthermore, the fastening device 12 preferably comprises a locking mechanism 130, via which the fastening element 120 can be locked in at least two locking positions against displacement relative to the holding element 110, thereby releasing the fastening. A vertical upward movement of the fastening element 120, during which a distance between the fastening element 120 and the base body 11 increases, would be a releasing action here.

[0080] In the embodiment shown, the fastening element 120 and the base body 11 are opposite one another in such a way that a receiving space 100 (see Fig. 1B) for receiving the energy storage device 31a is defined between them, wherein the receiving space 100 is adjustable in size by relative movement of the fastening element 120 to the base body 11 in order to adapt the fastening device 12 to a size of the energy storage device 31a to be received.

[0081] The locking mechanism 130 can preferably be implemented via a locking mechanism described in more detail below, in which locking band sections 131 are provided on the holding element 110 side, which can be brought into engagement with locking elements 132 on the fastening element 120 side. Locking band sections 131 and locking elements 132 are partially concealed in perspective.

[0082] The fastening element 120 here preferably comprises a central web section 121 which at least partially delimits the receiving space 100 in a height direction above the base body 11, wherein a relative distance between the web section 121 and the base body 11 is adjustable in order to adapt the fastening device 12 to a size of the energy storage device 31a.

[0083] In the fastened or mounted state, the web section 121 is in contact with an upper cover surface of the energy storage device 31a and the base body 11 is in contact with a lower bottom surface of the energy storage device 31a.

[0084] The holding element 110 here comprises, for example, two tab sections 111 arranged laterally on the receiving space 100, which protrude vertically in a height direction from the base body 11.

[0085] The fastening element 120 in turn comprises an adapted guide section 122 for each of the two tab sections 111, in which the respective tab section 111 is guided (see Fig. 1A).

[0086] In addition, the fastening device 12 preferably further comprises lateral guide elements 140 on both sides of the tab sections 111, which at least partially delimit the receiving space 100 in a lateral direction, wherein the fastening element 120 is additionally guided vertically displaceably by the guide elements 140, which in turn prevents tilting or wedging of the same.

[0087] In the course of a displacement of the fastening element 120 along the tab sections 111 of the holding element 110, the latching elements 132 of the two guide sections 122 can be brought into engagement with latching elements of the latching band sections 131 for locking purposes, in order to securely and firmly fasten the energy storage device 31a to the base body 11.

[0088] Due to the proposed design of the component carrier 1, the fastening also works for energy storage devices 31b of a different size (see Fig. 2). To release the locking mechanism 130 and thus the fastening of the energy storage device 31a, sections of the fastening element 120 can be elastically deformable. Elastic deformation releases the engagement of the latching element 132 with the locking element of the locking band section 131, allowing the fastening element 120 to be displaced vertically upward along the tab sections 111 and, preferably, even completely separated from the holding element 110.

[0089] For this purpose, the guide sections 122 preferably each comprise a tilting segment 123 that supports the respective locking element 132. The tilting segment 123 can be tilted, in particular with respect to the web section 121, whereby the entire guide section 122 is elastically deformed in order to release the locking elements 132 from the locking elements of the locking band sections 131.

[0090] The arrangement of the tilting segments 123 on opposite sides of the web section 121 allows for particularly simple operation, which can be carried out in particular with one hand.

[0091] Alternatively or in addition to the above-described embodiment with the tilting segments 123, the tab sections 111 themselves can be elastically deformable, so that engagements of the locking elements of the locking band section 131 with the locking elements 132 of the guide sections 122 can be released by an elastically deforming actuation of the tab sections 111.

[0092] Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of Fig. 1A, 1B with an electrical component that is dimensioned differently than in the case in Fig. 1A, 1B.

[0093] The structure is essentially identical to that shown in Fig. 1A, 1B, which is why a further description is omitted here.

[0094] In contrast to Fig. 1A, 1B, Fig. 2 shows the receiving and fastening of a much larger energy storage device 31b, which, due to the proposed design of the component carrier 1, can be received and fastened in the receiving space 100 without any structural adaptations to the same.

[0095] Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the embodiment of Fig. 2A.

[0096] Said cross-section serves to describe the locking mechanism of the locking device 130, by means of which the holding element 110 and the fastening element 120 can be locked relative to one another.

[0097] As can be seen from the cross-section, the two tab sections 111 arranged laterally of the receiving space 100 and the energy storage device 31b accommodated therein are preferably an integral component of the holding element 110, which in turn is preferably an integral component of the base body 11, which in turn is preferably an integral component of the light carrier 2. Said integral designs are not restrictive. Thus, each of the connections described above can also be designed to be detachable via fastening means.

[0098] The fastening of the energy storage device 31b accommodated in the receiving space is carried out here, for example, by downward movement of the fastening element 120 along the tab sections guided in the guide sections 122 until the energy storage device 31b is ideally fitted without play in the vertical direction between the base body and the fastening element 120.

[0099] In this position, the fastening element 120 is secured in a fastening-releasing manner via the locking device 130 with a locking mechanism, in which the locking elements 132 of the right and left guide section 122 each engage in a locking element of a respective locking band section 131 for locking, wherein the locking band sections 131 are provided as part, here as an integral part, of the tab sections 111.

[0100] To release the fastening by the fastening device 12, the upper parts of the tilting segments 123 are tilted toward the web section 121, for example, thereby moving the locking elements 132 outward (away from the tab sections 111). This quickly and easily releases the engagement with the respective locking element of the web sections 131.

[0101] After release, the fastening element 120 can be separated from the holding element 110 by vertical movement and the energy storage device 31a can be removed from the receiving space 100.

[0102] Fig. 4A and 4B show views of an embodiment of a fastening element 120 for use in the component carrier 1, as shown, for example, in Fig. 1A, 1B, and 2. Fig. 4A shows a perspective overall view, and Fig. 4B shows a perspective sectional view of the fastening element 120.

[0103] The fastening element 120 shown essentially corresponds to that of Figs. 1A to 3, wherein the arrangement of the locking element 132, which is carried on a lower region of the respective tilting segment 123, can be clearly seen in particular in the sectional view shown.

[0104] By a tilting movement of the upper part of the tilting segment 123 directed towards the web section 121, the locking element 132 is moved outwards and can thus be released from a locking element of an associated ratchet band section 131 (not shown here, but see Fig. 3).

[0105] 5A and 5B show views of another embodiment of a fastening element 120 for use in the component carrier 1, as shown, for example, in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 2. FIG. 5A shows an overall perspective view, and FIG. 5B shows a side view of the fastening element 120.

[0106] The fastening element 120 according to Fig. 5A and 5B differs essentially in the design of the lateral guide sections 122 from the embodiment of Fig. 4A and 4B.

[0107] Thus, the guide sections 122 here comprise additional reinforcement areas 125, which ensure improved support of the tilting segments 123, so that the fastening element 120 does not wear out too quickly or even become damaged when the tilting segments 123 are actuated frequently.

[0108] Furthermore, the tilting segments 123 here have recessed grips 124 on the side facing away from the web section 121, which simplify the actuation of the tilting segments 123 to release the engagement of the latching element 132 with a corresponding latching element of a latching band section (not shown here, but see Fig. 3). The recessed grips 124 also enable a secure hold when guiding the fastening element 120.

[0109] Embodiments of the present invention and their advantages have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0110] It is emphasized again that the present invention is in no way limited to the above-described embodiments and their implementation features, as long as it is encompassed by the subject matter of the following claims. The invention further encompasses modifications of the aforementioned embodiments, in particular those resulting from modifications and / or combinations of the features of the described embodiments within the scope of the independent claims.
