Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lampenfassung aus Isolierstoff für H 7-Lampen für Kraftfahrzeugbeleuchtungen, wobei die Lampenfassung Steckbuchsen aus elektrisch leitendem Material haltert, in die die Anschlußkontakte der H 7-Lampe einsteckbar sind, sowie radial außerhalb des Steckbereichs der H 7-Lampe Steckanschlußmittel aus elektrisch leitendem Material haltert, die jeweils mit einer der Steckbuchsen leitend verbunden sind und die in Steckanschlußteile einsteckbar oder auf Steckanschlußteile aufsteckbar sind, die am Reflektor oder Gehäuse des mit der Lampenfassung auszurüstenden Scheinwerfers fixiert und mit Anschlußkabeln verbindbar sind.The invention relates to a lamp holder Insulating material for H 7 lamps for Motor vehicle lights, the lamp holder Sockets made of electrically conductive material holds in the the contacts of the H 7 lamp are insertable, as well as radially outside the Plug area of the H 7 lamp plug connection means electrically conductive material, each are conductively connected to one of the sockets and which can be plugged in or on Plug-in connector parts can be plugged on Reflector or housing of the with the lamp holder headlights to be equipped and fixed with Connection cables are connectable.

Derartige Lampenfassungen sind im Stand der Technik bekannt. Die hier betroffenen sogenannten H 7-Lampen weisen einen Lampenkolben aus Glas mit einem Glühfaden auf, der in einem stabilen Montageelement der H 7-Lampe integriert ist. Dieses Element stellt quasi einen Adapter dar, der zwei Anschlußstecker aufweist, die von der Seite des Halters abragen, die dem Lampenkolben entgegengerichtet ist. Die H 7-Lampe wird üblicherweise in entsprechende Steckkontakte der Lampenfassung eingesetzt. Der Adapter der H 7-Lampe weist unregelmäßige Umrißformen auf, ebenso wie die entsprechende Aufnahme der Lampenfassung, um eine verwechslungsfreie Einsteckmöglichkeit zu bilden. Die mit der H 7-Lampe komplettierte Lampenfassung wird dann in eine entsprechende Öffnung des Scheinwerfergehäuses oder Reflektors des Scheinwerfers eingesetzt, wobei an der Lampenfassung weitere Anschlußkontakte fixiert sind, die mit entsprechenden Anschlußkontakten steckverbindbar sind, die am Reflektor oder am Scheinwerfergehäuse fixiert sind und an welche die entsprechenden Zuleitungskabel angeschlagen sind.Such lamp holders are in the prior art known. The so-called H 7 lamps affected here have a lamp bulb made of glass with a Filament on the in a stable mounting element the H 7 lamp is integrated. This element represents quasi an adapter, the two connectors which protrude from the side of the holder, which is directed towards the lamp bulb. The H 7-lamp is usually used in corresponding Plug contacts of the lamp holder inserted. The H 7 lamp adapter shows irregular Outline shapes, as well as the corresponding one Inclusion of the lamp holder to one to form confusion-free insertion possibility. The lamp holder completed with the H 7 lamp is then in a corresponding opening of the Headlight housing or reflector of the Headlights used, being on the Lamp socket further connection contacts fixed are with corresponding connection contacts are plug-in, which on the reflector or on Headlight housings are fixed and to which the corresponding supply cables are attached.

Bei solchen Anordnungen ist es außerordentlich wichtig, daß der Glühfaden exakt positioniert und ausgerichtet ist. Nur hierdurch ist eine sichere Focussierung erreichbar. Schon geringe Abweichungen von der exakten Position führen dazu, daß keine sichere Focussierung mehr erreicht wird, so daß der entsprechend ausgerüstete Scheinwerfer unzureichend leuchtet. Aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen und Montageungenauigkeiten kommt es bei der bekannten Ausbildung dazu, daß die H 7-Lampe nicht exakt zum Reflektor oder Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers ausgerichtet ist, so daß die ordnungsgemäße Funktion nicht gewährleistet ist.With such arrangements, it is extraordinary important that the filament is positioned exactly and is aligned. Only this is a safe one Focusing attainable. Even slight deviations from the exact position mean that none more secure focusing is achieved so that the appropriately equipped headlights insufficient shines. Due to manufacturing tolerances and Assembly inaccuracies occur in the known Training to ensure that the H 7 lamp is not exactly Headlight reflector or housing is aligned so that the proper Function is not guaranteed.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lampenfassung gattungsgemäßer Art zu schaffen, mit der in einfacher Weise eine exakte Positionierung insbesondere des Glühfadens der H 7-Lampe relativ zum Reflektor bzw. Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers erreicht wird.Based on this state of the art Invention the task of a lamp holder to create generic type with which in exact positioning especially the filament of the H 7 lamp relative to the reflector or housing of the headlight is achieved.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Steckbuchsen schwimmend an der Lampenfassung gehaltert sind.To solve this problem, it is proposed that the sockets floating on the lamp holder are supported.

Durch diese Ausbildung wird erreicht, daß bei der Montageabfolge zunächst die H 7-Lampe mit den Anschlußkontakten ordnungsgemäß in die Steckbuchsen einsteckbar ist. Wird nun die so mit der H 7-Lampe bestückte Lampenfassung in die entsprechende Einbauöffnung des Reflektors oder des Scheinwerfergehäuses eingesetzt, so liegt der Teller des Adapters der H 7-Lampe an einem entsprechenden Anschlagkragen des Reflektors oder des Scheinwerfergehäuses bündig an, gleichgültig ob die Lampenfassung selbst infolge von Fertigungs- oder Montagetoleranzen unexakt am Reflektor oder Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers montiert ist. Die H 7-Lampe kann sich in der Steckposition relativ zur Lampenfassung geringfügig bewegen, so daß in jedem Falle eine exakte Anlage des Tellers des Adapters der H 7-Lampe am Kragen des Reflektors oder des Gehäuses des Scheinwerfers erreicht wird, was wiederum wesentlich dafür ist, daß die H 7-Lampe exakt ausgerichtet ist, insbesondere deren Glühfaden exakt relativ zum Reflektor bzw. Scheinwerfergehäuse ausgerichtet ist. Die schwimmende Anordnung der Steckbuchsen an der Lampenfassung kann nach Art einer kardanischen Verbindung oder nach Art einer federnd biegbaren Verbindung zwischen Steckbuchse und Lampenfassung erreicht werden.This training ensures that Installation sequence first the H 7 lamp with the Contacts in the sockets properly is insertable. Now with the H 7 lamp equipped lamp holder in the corresponding Installation opening of the reflector or Headlight housing used, so lies Plate of the adapter of the H 7 lamp on one corresponding stop collar of the reflector or the headlight housing flush, regardless of whether the lamp holder itself as a result of manufacturing or Mounting tolerances inexact on the reflector or Housing of the headlamp is mounted. The H 7 lamp can be in the plug position relative to Move the lamp holder slightly so that in each If the adapter plate fits exactly the H 7 lamp on the collar of the reflector or the Housing the headlight is what again it is essential that the H 7 lamp is precisely aligned, especially theirs Filament exactly relative to the reflector or Headlight housing is aligned. The floating arrangement of the sockets on the Lamp holder can be gimbal-style Connection or in the manner of a resiliently bendable Connection between socket and lamp holder can be achieved.

Um auch ein einfaches Zusammenführen der Steckanschlußmittel und der Steckanschlußteile am Reflektor oder Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers zu erreichen, ist vorgesehen, daß die Steckanschlußmittel starr an der Lampenfassung gehaltert sind und die Steckanschlußteile am Reflektor oder Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers schwimmend fixiert sind.To also easily merge the Plug connection means and the plug connection parts on Headlight reflector or housing achieve, it is intended that the Plug connection means rigid on the lamp holder are supported and the connector parts on Floating reflector or housing of the headlamp are fixed.

Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß auch dann, wenn die Lampenfassung nicht exakt koaxial zur Einbauöffnung des Reflektors oder Scheinwerfergehäuses ausgerichtet ist, die Steckanschlußmittel in die Steckanschlußteile eingeführt werden können, da die Steckanschlußteile geringfügig in Querrichtung zur Steckrichtung beweglich sind, so daß auch bei von der Steckrichtung geringfügig abweichende Ausrichtung der Steckanschlußmittel eine sichere Steckverbindung beim Zusammenführen der Teile ermöglicht ist.This ensures that even if the lamp holder is not exactly coaxial with the Installation opening of the reflector or Headlight housing is aligned Plug connection means in the plug connection parts can be introduced because the plug connection parts slightly in the transverse direction to the direction of insertion are movable, so that also from the Slightly different direction of insertion the plug connection means a safe one Plug connection when merging the parts is possible.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung wird darin gesehen, daß jede Steckbuchse über einen Brückensteg mit einem Steckanschlußmittel verbunden ist, der sich federnd nachgiebig mit Teilbereichen am Boden der Lampenfassung abstützt.A preferred further development is seen in that each socket with a bridge a plug connection means is connected resilient with parts at the bottom of the Supported lamp holder.

Hierdurch wird das jeweilige Steckanschlußmittel quasi federnd nachgiebig gehalten, so daß Ausrichtungsungenauigkeiten leicht ausgeglichen werden können.As a result, the respective plug connection means quasi resiliently held so that Alignment inaccuracies easily compensated can be.

Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß der Brückensteg an die Steckbuchse unter Freilassung des Steckbereichs angeformt ist, der Anformungsbereich Abstand vom Boden der Lampenfassung aufweist, an den Anformungsbereich zum Boden hin vorgewölbte Arme abragen, die sich mit kufenartigen Stützbereichen am Boden der Lampenfassung abstützen und einer der Arme einstückig an ein Steckanschlußmittel angeschlossen ist.It is particularly preferably provided that the Bridge bridge to the socket with release of the plug-in area is molded on Forming area distance from the bottom of the Has lamp holder to the molding area arms that protrude toward the floor and protrude with skid-like support areas at the bottom of the Support lamp holder and one of the arms connected in one piece to a plug connection means is.

Zum Zwecke der schwimmenden Halterung ist zudem vorgesehen, daß jede Steckbuchse mit Bewegungsspiel in einen Aufnahmekanal im Boden der Lampenfassung eingesetzt ist und mittels eines Rastelementes, welches in eine Ausnehmung der Kanalwandung eingreift, unverlierbar gehaltert ist.For the purpose of floating bracket is also provided that each socket with movement into a receiving channel in the bottom of the lamp holder is inserted and by means of a locking element, which in a recess of the channel wall intervenes, is held captive.

Desweiteren ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß die Steckanschlußmittel durch Flachstecker gebildet sind, die mit Verhakungsmitteln unverlierbar in Taschen des Fassungskörpers eingesteckt sind und mit ihrem Steckbereich parallel zur Steckrichtung der H 7-Lampe bzw. der Lampenfassung vorragen.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the Plug connection means formed by flat plugs are the captive in captive with Pockets of the socket body are inserted and with their mating area parallel to the mating direction protrude from the H 7 lamp or the lamp holder.

Zum Zwecke der schwimmenden Anordnung der Steckanschlußteile ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß die Steckanschlußteile über Abwinklungen, an denen Kabelanschlagmittel angeformt sind, in Taschen des Reflektors oder des Gehäuses des Scheinwerfers fix und unverlierbar gehalten sind, wobei von den Abwinklungen etwa haarnadelartig gebogene Elemente abragen, die die eigentlichen Steckanschlußteile bilden, wobei die haarnadelartige Form etwa tangential zur im wesentlichen im Querschnitt kreisrunden Lampenfassung gerichtet verläuft.For the purpose of floating arrangement of the Plug connector parts is preferably provided that the plug connection parts on bends, at which Cable attachment means are molded into pockets of the Reflector or the housing of the headlight fix and are held captive, of which Bends like hairpin-shaped elements protrude, which the actual plug connector parts form, the hairpin-like shape about tangential to the cross section essentially circular lamp holder is directed.

Hierdurch ist auch bei leichten Schrägstellungen der Steckanschlußmittel relativ zu den Steckanschlußteilen eine exakte Zuführung der Teile zueinander gewährleistet, weil die Steckanschlußteile durch ihre haarnadelartige Ausbildung der Richtung und Anordnung der Steckanschlußmittel, die starr an der Lampenfassung gehaltert sind, folgen können.This means that even with slight inclinations the plug connection means relative to the Plug connection parts an exact feeding of the Parts guaranteed to each other because the Plug connectors through their hairpin-like Training the direction and arrangement of the Plug connection means that are rigidly attached to the Lamp holder are held, can follow.

Bevorzugt ist dazu vorgesehen, daß der radial innenliegende Schenkel der haarnadelartigen Form entsprechend der Form der Lampenfassung gerundet ist und der außenliegende Schenkel etwa geradlinig (tangential) verläuft.It is preferably provided that the radial inner legs of the hairpin-like shape rounded according to the shape of the lamp holder and the outer leg is approximately straight (tangential) runs.

In an sich bekannter Weise ist vorgesehen, daß vom Boden der Lampenfassung ein Kragen abragt, der als verwechslungsfreie Einführhilfe für einen Teller als Bestandteil der H 7-Lampe dient.In a manner known per se it is provided that from A collar protrudes from the bottom of the lamp holder and acts as confusion-free insertion aid for a plate serves as part of the H 7 lamp.
