Description: [0001] The invention relates to a fastening arrangement for releasably connecting a first functional module of a lighting device to a module having at least one elastically deformable latching element, which is provided on the first functional module and / or on the second functional module a detent position of the same, in which a latching element geometrically associated latching surface of the respective other functional module is embraced by the locking element, due to elastic deformation in a release position can be moved, in which the locking surface having functional module not set by means of the locking element on the locking element having functional module is.
Furthermore, the invention relates to a lighting device comprising a housing having an opening, a releasably fixed in the housing electronic ballast module and the opening of the housing at least partially occlusive light module with at least one light source, wherein the light module is releasably fixed to the electronic ballast module and is electrically contacted with the electronic ballast module.
In particular, in the context of general lighting for use coming lighting devices generally have a housing and a held on the housing and at least partially surrounded by this light module with at least one light source. In addition, when using modern lamps, such as LED, an electronic ballast module for controlling the light source may be provided in the housing. Such a lighting device is described for example in the post-published European patent application 12 178 841.8 of the applicant. Here, the electronic ballast is set via a plurality of spaced locking elements in the housing. The light module is also set via four locking elements on the electronic ballast module and thus at the same time positioned relative to the housing. For assembly, the electronic ballast module is first clipped into the housing via an opening in the housing. Subsequently, the light module is connected via the latching elements with the electronic ballast module. The light module closes the opening of the housing at least partially and covers the electronic ballast module. Although the arrangement has basically proven itself in practice, the replacement of the light module is sometimes complicated due to the large number of locking elements provided for fixing the light module to the electronic ballast module.
The object of the present invention is therefore to simplify the required when changing the light module disassembly and assembly of the lighting device and in particular to provide a montage and dismantling-friendly mounting arrangement for connecting the light module to the electronic ballast module.
To achieve the object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1 protection is characterized in that further comprises at least one insertion determination is provided for releasably connecting the functional modules, wherein provided on the first functional module and / or on the second functional module Einschubausnehmung is and wherein at the respective other functional module a plug-in formation is provided, which engages in a connection position of the insertion determination in the insertion recess.
The particular advantage of the invention is that by providing the at least one insertion determination, the number of locking elements can be reduced. Since the latching elements for releasing the connection must be elastically deformed and in particular manually operated at the same time, the reduction of the number of latching elements simplifies in particular the dismantling of the assembly connected by means of the latching elements. Core idea of the invention is insofar individual latching elements by other Ver-binding solutions, in this case by insertion specifications, to replace and so facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the light module.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, two locking elements and two latching elements associated latching surfaces are provided. A first latching element is deformed into a first actuation direction defined by the plastic deformation of the first latching element when it is being moved from the latching position into the release position. A second latching element has a second actuating direction, which is oriented rotated by 180 ° to the first actuating direction. Advantageously, increased security against inadvertent release of the assembly, for example due to a shock load or another pulse, is ensured by the opposite orientation of the two actuating directions. Even if the pulse load in the worst case takes place directly in the direction of an actuating direction, the second detent element oriented through 180 ° ensures the secure connection of the functional modules.
According to a development of the invention, the first locking element and the second locking element are symmetrical, in particular point-symmetrical, provided with respect to a formed between the first functional module and the second functional module electrical contact unit. Advantageously, the locking elements in addition to their holding function in this case, a centering function. The locking elements provide, in particular, when their operating directions are oriented rotated by 180 ° to each other, for the electronic contacting of the connected function modules favoring positional assignment of the same.
According to a development of the invention, a distance between the first locking element and the second locking element is less than 15 cm. Preferably, the maximum distance is less than 10 cm, and more preferably more than 3 cm and less than 8 cm. Advantageously, a safe and convenient one-hand operation of both locking elements is made possible by the specified distance dimensions.
The locking elements can be solved so far with simultaneous operation with one hand, d. H. be deformed elastically in their direction of actuation. If the operating direction of the two latching elements oriented rotated by 180 ° and arranged laterally offset from each other, the operation further simplifies. In this case, the wrist can be rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to release the two locking elements.
According to a development of the invention, at least two insertion specifications are provided, which are arranged axially symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the assembly. Due to the symmetrical orientation of the insertion definitions, the insertion of the insertion molding into the insertion recess and consequently, in particular, the assembly of the assembly are simplified. If the function modules in the course of assembly or disassembly are temporarily only connected via the insertion specifications, harmful torsional moments are avoided.
According to a development of the invention, a latching lug is formed at a free end of the preferably elongated insertion recess, which tapers a transverse extension of the insertion recess in the region of the free end. Advantageously, the locking lug forms a safeguard against unintentional escape of the insertion molding from the insertion recess. For example, the geometry of the locking lug and the insertion recess can be matched to the geometry of the insertion molding such that insertion of the insertion formation into or removal of the insertion formation from the insertion recess is possible only at a certain angle of rotation.
According to a development of the invention, the actuating directions of the first locking element and the second locking element are oriented parallel to the longitudinal central axis. Furthermore, the electrical contact unit is formed symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal central axis. In particular, together with a point-symmetrical arrangement of the locking elements with respect to the electrical contact unit, the assembly further simplified. As part of the assembly, the electrical contacting of the functional modules is automatically and safely made on the centering effect of the locking elements.
According to a development of the invention, the light module defines the first functional module of the lighting device and the electronic ballast module, the second functional module of the lighting device. Two insertion recesses and the latching surfaces are preferably provided on the light module, while the corresponding latching elements and the plug-in formations are formed on the electronic ballast module. Since the light module usually has an at least partially transparent lens of a preferably brittle material, for example of a brittle plastic or of glass, it is advisable to dispense with the provision of elastically deformable locking elements on the light module. The locking elements are advantageously formed on the electronic ballast module. A housing of the electronic ballast module will usually be made of plastic, wherein an elasticity or compliance of the plastic can be determined in particular so that a repeated operation, in particular the repeated elastic deformation of the locking elements can be done without damage.
To achieve the object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of the protection claim 8, characterized in that for fixing the light module to the electronic ballast module, a fastening arrangement according to one of claims 1 to 7 is provided. For example, it may be provided that the electronic ballast module is fixed via further latching elements in the housing of the lighting device. The further latching elements may be arranged spaced from one another such that a movement thereof is blocked by a latching position in a release position by the light module as soon as the light module is fixed via the mounting arrangement to the electronic ballast module. The light module is arranged in this case between the further locking elements, that an elastic deformation or actuation of the same blocks and unintentional release of the electronic ballast module is reliably prevented by the housing. Systemimmanent this way a secure connection between the housing and electronic ballast module is made.
According to a development of the invention, an actuating direction of the further locking elements, which are provided for fixing the electronic ballast in the housing, angularly oriented oriented to the at least one operating direction of the locking elements of the fastening arrangement. An angular offset is more than 15 ° and preferably 90 °. Advantageously, this achieves that an actuation of the locking elements of the mounting arrangement is not inadvertently also to an actuation of the further locking elements over which the electronic ballast is fixed in the housing, and thus leads to a loosening of the electronic ballast module to the housing.
From the further subclaims and the following description, there are further advantages, features and details of the invention. The features mentioned in the claims and in the description may each be essential to the invention individually or in any desired combination.
According to the invention described features and details of the mounting arrangement of course apply in connection with the lighting device according to the invention and vice versa. Thus, the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention can always be referenced reciprocally. The drawings are merely illustrative of the clarification of the invention and are not of a restrictive nature.

[0022] FIG 5 shows a side view of a light module of the lighting device according to FIG. 1, and [0025] FIG. 6 shows a rear view of the light module according to FIG. 5.
An inventive lighting device 1 according to Figure 1 consists essentially of a housing 2 with an opening 4, provided in the housing 2 electronic ballast module 3 and one of the opening 4 of the housing 2 and the opening 4 of the housing 2 at least partially overlapping Light module 5. In the present case, the light module 5 has a plurality of LEDs as illuminants and optics associated with the illuminants for shaping or guiding the light. It is electrically conductive and releasably connected to the electronic ballast module 3. To connect the two functional modules (electronic ballast module 3, light module 5), a fastening arrangement 6 according to the invention is provided, which on the one hand comprises two insertion determinations 7 and, on the other hand, two locking elements 8. For a better illustration of the invention, the housing 2 of the lighting device 1 is recessed in the region of the insertion fastening 7 and the latching elements 8.
The lighting device 1 is shown by way of example as an elongated lighting device for general lighting. Of course, alternative embodiments of the fastening arrangement 6 according to the invention and the lighting device 1 can be realized for applications other than general lighting.
The insertion specifications 7 are assigned to two opposite longitudinal sides of a module formed by the electronic ballast module 3 and the light module 5. The insertion determinations 7 have, on the one hand, the elongated insertion recesses 9 associated with the light module 5 and, on the other hand, the assembly position of the illumination device 1 in the insertion recesses 9 engaging in the insertion recesses 9. The insertion recesses 9 are in particular formed like a groove and extend in the mounting position substantially in a longitudinal direction 11 of the lighting device 1. The Einschubausformungen 10 are formed like a nose or thorn and formed on the electronic ballast module 3. The plug-in formations 10 are guided displaceably in the insertion recess 9 in the longitudinal direction 11.
The locking elements 8 of the insertion determination 7 are also assigned to the opposite longitudinal sides of the assembly. In the assembled position, a first latching element 8.1, which is only visible in the side view, surrounds a latching surface 12 assigned to the first latching element 8.1 in such a way that the electronic ballast module 3 and the light module 5 are positively connected to one another via the latching element 8. The first latching element 8.1 is formed here as well as a in Figure 1 of the electronic ballast module 3 and the light module 5 covered and provided on opposite longitudinal sides second latching element 8.2 formed on the electronic ballast module 3. The locking surfaces 12 are in contrast formed on the light module 5. The locking surfaces 12 extend in a defined by a lens 13 of the light module 5 light exit plane 14 of the lighting device. 1
3 shows the assembly of the light module 5.

For this purpose, the Einschubausformungen 10 are inserted into the insertion recesses 9 and linearly displaced in a relation to the longitudinal direction 11 of the lighting device 1 inclined insertion direction 15. If the light module 5 is connected to the electronic ballast module 3 via the plug-in fixing 7, the free end of the light module 5 facing away from the plug-in fixing 7 is applied in a latching direction 16 to the electronic ballast module 3. This is done on the one hand, a longitudinal positioning of the light module 5 relative to the electronic switch module 3 via a formed on the light module 5, funnel-shaped centering 17. On the other hand, the positive fixing of the two functional modules 3, 5 via the locking elements 8. For this purpose, the locking elements 8 in their respective actuating direction 18, 19 elastically deformed until a latching hook 20 of the locking elements 8 engages behind the latching surfaces 12 formed on the light module 5. Since a free end side of the latching elements 8 facing the light module 5 during mounting of the module has a mounting bevel 21, the plastic deformation of the latching elements 8 takes place automatically in their actuating directions 18, 19 during assembly.
At a free end of the insertion recess 9, a latching lug 25 is formed. The locking lug 25 is designed so that a transverse extension 26 of the insertion recess 9 is reduced in the region of the latching lug 25. By the latching lug 25, the light module 5 is additionally secured during assembly and disassembly against unintentional release of the electronic ballast module 3. In particular, the locking lug 25 prevents uncontrolled slipping of the insertion formation 10 out of the insertion recess 9 counter to the insertion direction 15.
As is clear in particular from Figure 4, the actuating directions 18, 19 of the first locking element 8.1 and the second locking element 8.2 are rotated 180 ° to each other. As a result, the latching elements 8.1, 8.2 must be oppositely deformed to release the connection of light module 5 and electronic ballast module 3. The opposite direction of actuation 18, 19 provides a safeguard against unintentional release of the locking elements 8 as a result of shock or Impulsbeaufschlagung. In addition, the rotatably formed by 180 ° locking elements 8 serve the centering of electronic ballast module 3 and light module. 5
The latching elements 8.1, 8.2 are formed point-symmetrical to an electrical contact 22 which is provided on the electronic ballast module 3 and the electrical contacting of the electronic ballast module 3 with the light module 5 is used. The point-symmetrical orientation of the latching elements 8.1, 8.2 to the electrical contact 22 also becomes clear from FIGS. 5 and 6, which show the light module 5. The provided on the light module 5 locking surfaces 12 are provided in an analogous manner point-symmetrical with respect to an electrical mating contact 23, which is formed on the light module 5 and forms an electrical contact unit of electronic ballast module 3 and light module 5 together with the electrical contact 22. The electrical contact 22 of the electronic ballast module 3 and the electrical mating contact 23 on the light module 5 are each oriented symmetrically to a longitudinal central axis 24 of the assembly formed by the light module 5 and the electronic ballast module 3.
With regard to the longitudinal center axis 24, the insertion specifications 7 are likewise formed symmetrically. FIG. 6 shows the symmetrical arrangement of the insertion recesses 9 which are provided on the light module 5. Manufacturing technology, both the insertion recesses 9 of the insertion specifications 7 and the locking surfaces 12 are integrally formed on the lens 13. The actuation directions 18, 19 are provided on opposite sides of the longitudinal central axis 24 and extend - rotated by 180 ° relative to one another - parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal central axis 24.
