DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
(14) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lamp 1 in a viewing direction onto a lower side U of the lamp 1. FIG. 2 shows the lamp shown in FIG. 1 in a viewing direction onto an upper side O of the lamp 1. FIGS. 3 and 4 each show sectional views which result for different configurations of the lamp 1 from a section along the line A-A shown in FIG. 2.
(15) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the lamp 1 comprises a carrier device 2 and at least one lighting device 3, 4. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 1, the lamp 1 can comprise in particular a first lighting device 3 and a second lighting device 4. The first and the second lighting device 3, 4 can be configured in particular in the same manner. The following information about a lighting device 3, 4 thus applies generally to the first and the second lighting device 3, 4 and to possible additional lighting devices of the lamp 1.
(16) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the lighting device 3, 4 comprises a carrier part 30, 40, a reflector device 50, 60, and a plurality of illuminant devices 5, an illuminant device 5 being shown merely symbolically in FIGS. 3 and 4.
(17) FIGS. 1 and 2 show a lighting device 3, 4 by way of example, said device comprising a carrier part 30, 40 extending in a longitudinal direction L3, L4. The carrier part 30, 40 comprises a lateral wall 31, 41 extending in the longitudinal direction L3, L4. Furthermore, the carrier part 30, 40 comprises a plurality of optional cooling stacks 32, 42 and a plurality of optional ribs 33, 43.
(18) As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lighting units 5 are arranged on the lateral wall 31, in particular on a first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the lighting units 5 are shown merely symbolically. The lighting units 5 can each be for example in the form of LED lighting units, in particular chip-on-board LED units or chip-scale-packaging LED units.
(19) As can further be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plurality of optional cooling stacks 32, 42 are arranged on the lateral wall 31, 41 of the carrier part 30, 40 and placed one behind the other with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4. The cooling stacks 32, 42 each extend in a lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L3, L4. As shown in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cooling stacks 32, 42 form channels extending in the lighting-device vertical direction H3, the lateral walls of which connect two openings 34A, 34B, 44A, 44B opposite one another in the lighting-device vertical direction H3. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cooling stacks 32, 42 can be formed for example with a rectangular cross section. This can be achieved for example in that, in order to form the cooling stacks 32, 42, webs 32A, 42A are provided on a second surface 31b of the lateral wall 31 oriented opposite the first surface 31a, which webs protrude from the second surface 31b of the lateral wall 31 and extend transversely to the lateral wall 31. Furthermore, an outer plate 32B, 42B extending in the longitudinal direction L3, L4 is provided, which plate connects the webs 32A, 42A. Thus, the lateral wall 31, 41, the webs 32A, 42A and the plate 32B, 42B together define the cross section of the cooling stacks 32, 42.
(20) By means of the extension of the cooling stacks 32, 42 in the lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4, the heat dissipation from the lighting units 5 is improved. As a result, the output of the lighting units 5 can be increased. Consequently, a high luminosity can be produced with only a few, and therefore high-output, lighting units 5. Thus, the space on the lateral wall 31, 41 required for the lighting units 5 is reduced so that the extension of the lateral wall 31, 41 in the longitudinal direction L3, L4 can be reduced.
(21) As further shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the optional ribs 33, 43 are arranged at a distance from one another with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4. The ribs 33, 43 extend from the lateral wall 31, 41 of the carrier part 30, 40. In particular, the ribs 33, 43 protrude from the first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31, as shown for example in FIGS. 3 and 4. The ribs 33, 43 can be for example L-shaped or arcuate, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 2 to 4. In this case, the ribs 33 comprise a first portion 33A extending transversely to the lateral wall 31 and a second portion 33B extending transversely to the first portion 33A. The second portion 33B extends in particular in the lighting-device vertical direction H3 or along the lateral wall 31, 41 and is connected to the first portion 33A, for example directly or indirectly by means of a curved third portion 33C, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 3 and 4. Generally, a rib 33, 43 thus extends at least in some portions in a lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L3, L4.
(22) The reflector device 50, 60 is fastened to the carrier part 30, 40, for example to the optional ribs 33, 43 or to the lateral wall 31, 41. FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematic views of an attachment point 35 moulded onto a rib 33 or onto the reflector device 50, 60. At said attachment point, the reflector device 50, 60 and the rib 33 can be fastened to one another, e.g. by bonding, screwing, latching or in a similar manner. As shown in particular in FIG. 1, the reflector device 50, 60 comprises at least two reflector portions 51, 61 at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction L3, L4. FIG. 1 shows by way of example a reflector device 51, 61, which comprises four reflector portions 51, 61 in total. Of course, more than four reflector portions 51, 61 can also be provided. The reflector portions 51, 61 are each formed by reflector surfaces 51a, 61a which are curved concavely in at least two curvature directions. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the reflector surfaces 51a, 61a forming the reflector portions 51, 61 each define a bowl-shaped or spoon-shaped cavity. In this case, the reflector surfaces 51a, 61a each extend in a curved manner both with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4 and with respect to the lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4. FIG. 1 shows by way of example a course of the reflector surface 51a, 61a which is mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry extending in the lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4 and being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L. The sectional line A-A shown in FIG. 1 is located in the plane of symmetry. Optionally, the reflector portions 51, 61 are separated from one another with respect to the longitudinal direction L in each case by intermediate portions 52, 62 extending in the longitudinal direction L. In this case, the intermediate portions 52, 62 follow the course of the edge contour of the respective reflector surfaces 51a, 61a.
(23) As shown in FIG. 1, in the case where the lamp 1 comprises a first and a second lighting device 3, 4, it can be provided that the at least two reflector portions 51 of the first lighting device 3 and the at least two reflector portions 61 of the second lighting device 4 are oriented in opposite directions. In particular, the reflector surfaces 51a of the reflector device 50 of the first lighting device 3, which surfaces form the reflector portions 51, and the reflector surfaces 61a of the reflector device 60 of the second lighting device 4, which surfaces form the reflector portions 61, point in different directions with respect to a width direction C extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L.
(24) As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the at least two reflector portions 51, 61 of the lateral wall 31, 41 of the carrier part 30, 40 are oriented facing in particular the first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31. In particular, in each case one lighting unit 5 is assigned in each case to one of the at least two reflector portions 51, 61. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, in this way, light can be emitted by the lighting units 5 onto the respective reflector surfaces 51a, 61a and reflected thereby, as illustrated symbolically by the arrow P in FIGS. 3 and 4.
(25) FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a light distribution which can be achieved by means of the lamp 1, which comprises two lighting devices 3, 4 having reflector devices 50, 60, which lamp, as shown in FIG. 1, is designed with concavely curved reflector portions 51, 61 which are separated from one another. The lines X1, X2 and X3 shown in FIG. 10 each represent lines of the same brightness, the brightness decreasing from the line X1 through the line X2 to the line X3. In the present case, the line X3 defines, by way of example, a lit region B. As can be clearly seen in FIG. 10, the maximum extension I-B of the lit region B is approximately 30 times greater than the length l1 of the lamp 1 with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4. By means of the configuration of the reflector device 50, 60, a very compact construction of the lamp L with respect to the lit region B can thus be achieved with a small number of lighting units 5.
(26) As can be seen in particular from FIG. 1, by means of the described configuration of the reflector device 50, 60 with concavely curved reflector portions 51, 61 which are separated from one another, a viewer looking in the longitudinal direction L3, L4 at the lower side U of the lamp 1 is further reliably prevented from being dazzled.
(27) Optionally, the number of lighting units 5 can correspond to the number of reflector portions 51, 61. In this case, in each case one lighting unit 5 is arranged opposite a relevant reflector portion 51, 61 and assigned thereto. This is shown schematically in FIG. 11, FIG. 11 being a plan view of the second surface 31b, 41b of the lateral wall 31, 41 of the carrier part 30, 40.
(28) As shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 and 3, the at least one lighting device 3, 4 can further comprise a cover strip 6. With respect to the lighting-device vertical direction H3, the cover strip 6 is arranged between a lower end of the lateral wall 31, 41, which is directed towards the lower side U, and the lighting unit 5, and protrudes from the first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31, as shown in FIG. 3. As a result, in a viewing direction in the lighting-device vertical direction H3, H4, the lighting units 5 are covered by the cover strip 6, and thus a viewer looking at the lower side U of the lamp is more reliably prevented from being dazzled. In this case, the reflector surface 51a, 61a forming the relevant reflector portion 51, 61 and the cover strip 6 together define a relevant light outlet opening 3A in the lamp 1 in each case, as shown schematically in FIG. 3.
(29) As shown in particular in FIG. 1, the cover strip 6 extends in the longitudinal direction L3, L4. It can also be seen in FIG. 1 that a plurality of cover strips 6 can be provided one behind the other with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4, for example one cover strip 6 per reflector portion 51, 61.
(30) FIG. 4 shows by way of example that the reflector surface 51a forming a relevant reflector portion 51, 61 and the first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31 of the carrier part 30 together define a relevant light outlet opening 3A in the lamp 1 in each case. As shown in FIG. 4, in this case the reflector surface 51a extends as far as the first surface 31a of the lateral wall 31. The intermediate portion 52, which cannot be seen in FIG. 4, since said portion is placed behind the reflector surface 51a with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, in this case is located in particular on the surface 31a of the lateral wall 31. Thus, in a viewing direction in the longitudinal direction L3, the lighting unit 5 which follows with respect to the longitudinal direction L3 is covered by the reflector surface 51a. This further improves the dazzle protection for a viewer looking at the lower side U of the lamp 1 in the longitudinal direction L3, L4.
(31) In FIGS. 1 and 2, the carrier device 2 comprises, by way of example, a longitudinal carrier 10 and a first transverse carrier 11 and a second transverse carrier 12. The longitudinal carrier 10 extends in the longitudinal direction L3, L4. The first and the second transverse carrier 11, 12 each extend transversely to the longitudinal carrier 11, 12, in particular in the width direction C. The first transverse carrier 11 is arranged on a first end portion 10A of the longitudinal carrier 10. The second transverse carrier 12 is on a second end portion 10B of the longitudinal carrier 10, which is placed opposite the first end portion 10B with respect to the longitudinal direction L3, L4. As shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transverse carriers 11, 12 can each be designed as plates. The lighting device 3, 4 in this case can be in particular mounted on the transverse carriers 11, 12 or coupled thereto. As shown in FIG. 2, an adapter 9 can be arranged on the longitudinal carrier 10. Said adapter is provided for the electrical and, for example, also mechanical connection of the spotlight to a holder, such as a bus bar (not shown) which can be arranged on a ceiling.
(32) The lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 differs from the lamp 1 described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 merely in terms of the design of the carrier device 2. Otherwise, the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and the lamp shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 have the same construction. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in this case it can also be provided that the reflector surfaces 51a of the reflector device 50 of the first lighting device 3, which surfaces form the reflector portions 51, and the reflector surfaces 61a of the reflector device 60 of the second lighting device 4, which surfaces form the reflector portions 61, point in different directions with respect to the width direction C.
(33) As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the carrier device 2 of the lamp 1 can be in the form of a peripheral, rectangular frame. To form a peripheral, in particular closed frame, the carrier device 2 thus comprises two longitudinal struts 13, 14 extending in the longitudinal direction L3, L4 and two transverse struts 15, 16 extending transversely to and interconnecting said longitudinal struts. Optionally, a peripheral strip 17 protruding outwards from the struts 13, 14, 15, 16 can further be provided on the carrier device. The peripheral frame can advantageously be inserted into a mounting recess, which is provided for example in a ceiling of a room of a building. In this case, the optional strip is used for attachment to the ceiling.
(34) As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a fastening device 18 for fastening the frame to a ceiling can further be provided on the carrier device 2, which fastening device is designed as a bracket by way of example in FIGS. 5 and 6. Said bracket is rotatably mounted on the carrier device 2, in particular on the longitudinal strut 13, and biased in the direction of the strip 17 by means of a spring 19.
(35) The lamp 1 shown by way of example in FIGS. 7 and 8 differs from the lamps 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and in FIGS. 5 and 6 in particular in terms of the arrangement of the first and second lighting devices 3, 4 relative to one another and in part in terms of the design of the carrier device 2. However, the first and second lighting devices 3, 4 have the same construction, as has been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
(36) As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first and the second lighting device 3, 4 can be arranged relative to one another in such a way that the reflector surfaces 51a, which form the reflector portions 51 of the reflector device 50 of the first lighting device 3, and the reflector surfaces 61a, which form the reflector portions 61 of the reflector device 60 of the second lighting device 4, are oriented so as to be mutually facing. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lateral wall 31 of the carrier part 30 of the first lighting device 3 in this case is placed facing the lateral wall 41 of the carrier part 40 of the second lighting device 4. The optional stacks 42, 32 in this case are placed between the lateral walls 31 and 41, as shown by way of example in FIG. 8.
(37) As shown in particular in FIG. 8, the carrier device 2 can also comprise longitudinal struts 13, 14 and transverse struts 15, 16, which form a closed frame, as well as the optional strip 17 and the optional fastening device 18, as has been explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In contrast with the carrier device 2 of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the carrier device of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 comprises an optional extension plate 15A, 16A on each of the transverse struts 15, 16, which plate extends from the respective transverse struts 15, 16 in the vertical direction H3, H4 or protrudes from the respective transverse struts 15, 16 with respect to the vertical direction H3, H4 and thereby extends said struts in the vertical direction H3, H4. In particular, the at least one lighting device 3, 4 can be mounted on the extension plates 15A, 16. This offers the advantage that the at least one lighting device 3, 4 is placed inside the frame with respect to the vertical direction, as shown by way of example in FIG. 7, or ends flush with the lower edge 25 of the frame which is defined by the transverse struts 15, 16 and the longitudinal struts 13, 15 or optionally by the strip 17. In this way, the lamp 1 can advantageously be integrated in a ceiling of a room in such a way that the lamp 1 does not protrude, or protrudes to only a minimal extent, into the room. As a result, the aesthetic appearance of the lamp 1 when mounted is improved.
(38) FIG. 9 shows by way of example a detail of the lamp 1 shown in FIG. 1 in a plan view of the first transverse carrier 11 in a viewing direction in the longitudinal direction L3, L4, the transverse carrier 11 being shown transparently. As shown by way of example in FIG. 9, the at least one lighting device 3, 4 can be mounted on the carrier device 2 so as to be able to rotate about a pivot axis S3, S4 extending in the longitudinal direction L3, L4. In FIGS. 2, 6 and 8, the pivot axes S3 and S4 are each drawn in as dotted lines. In the case of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lighting devices 3, 4 can each be rotatably mounted for example on the transverse carriers 11, 12. In the case of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lighting devices 3, 4 can each be rotatably mounted for example on the transverse struts 15, 16. In the case of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lighting devices 3, 4 can each be rotatably mounted for example on the extension plates 15A, 16A. The pivotal mounting can be produced in particular by articulation means 19, 20. The articulation means 19, 20 can for example each comprise a bush (not shown) and a pin (not shown) which is rotatably mounted therein, the pin being provided on the relevant transverse carrier 11, 12 or on the relevant transverse strut 15, 16 or on the relevant extension plate 15A, 16A, and the bush being provided at the end of the lighting device 3, 4 or vice versa. This configuration makes it possible to pivot the lighting device 3, 4 about the pivot axis S3, S4, as indicated symbolically by the arrow Q in FIG. 9. This offers the advantage in particular that the radiation direction of the light can be adapted in a simple and flexible manner.
(39) FIG. 9 further shows a possible design of an optional fixing device 7, 8 for fixing the at least one lighting device 3, 4 in a pivot position. As can be seen in FIG. 9 for the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and in FIGS. 5 and 6, and 7 and 8 for the lamp 1 shown therein in each case, the fixing device 7, 8 assigned to the relevant lighting device 3, 4 can be in the form of a latching mechanism. As shown in particular in FIGS. 6 to 9, the latching mechanism comprises a plurality of recesses 71, 81, which are arranged on a circular path, the centre of which coincides with the pivot axis S3, S4, and which recesses can be formed in at least one of the transverse struts 15, 16 or in at least one of the transverse carriers 11, 12. Furthermore, the latching mechanism comprises a ball 72 which is coupled to the lighting device 3, 4, which is biased in the longitudinal direction L3, L4 by means of a spring (not shown) and which can be engaged in an interlocking manner in the recesses 71, 81. When pivoting the lighting device 3, 4 as indicated by the arrow Q in FIG. 9, the ball 72 is pushed out of a recess 71, 81 and engages again in the recess 71, 81, the seat of which corresponds to the desired pivot position of the lighting device 3, 4. As a result, the fixing device 7, 8 fixes the lighting device 3, 4 in the desired pivot position.
(40) In the case of the lamp 1 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the pivot axis S3, S4 or the articulation means 19, 20 forming said pivot axis is arranged in a region 26 of the carrier device 2 or of the transverse struts 15, 16 which is central with respect to the transverse direction C, and the optional fixing device 7, 8 is arranged in a region 27, 28 of the carrier device 2 or of the transverse struts 15, 16 which is outer with respect to the transverse direction C.
