Definitions
- the invention relates to a housing for an underfloor fire.
- Underfloor fires are e.g. used to fire runways, taxiways, etc. from airports.
- Conventional underfloor lights are manufactured using the aluminum casting process and must be reworked with regard to their dimensional accuracy.
- Post-processing steps exist e.g. in that the support edge or the support groove for the housing cover are milled uss.
- threaded holes must be drilled in the support edge to secure the housing cover. If a positioning pin is provided for the housing cover, a hole must also be drilled for this and a thread cut.
- the conventional method of manufacturing a housing for an underfloor fire is therefore very time-consuming and costly.
- the object of the invention is to provide a housing for an underfloor fire that no longer has the disadvantages mentioned.
- This task is solved by manufacturing a housing for an underfloor fire using the aluminum die casting process.
- the advantage of this manufacturing process is that the housings no longer have to be milled or reworked with regard to their dimensional accuracy.
- Fasteners for the lid can be cast directly in the same manufacturing process.
- a - in particular rust- free - steel pin can be cast in. This steel pin can be tapped beforehand. The tapped hole can also only be made afterwards.
- the housing has a positioning pin for positioning the cover. This considerably simplifies assembly, since the cover can only be attached in the intended position; on the other hand, the positioning pin can also be cast in directly in the same manufacturing process.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the underfloor light has two potential openings for cable feeds on one side. So far, this simple solution has apparently been completely overlooked by experts, since this considerably simplifies the cable connections with the series-connected underfloor lights.
- an earth connection can also be formed on the inside of the housing.
- one or more earth connections can also be formed on the outside of the housing.
- a ground connection can be provided both inside and outside with little effort, so that the cheapest connection or both ground connections can be used.
- the external ground connection will advantageously be in the area of the cable feeds, so that the ground cable can be kept as short as possible.
- openings for the cable feeds are arranged on the opposite side of the housing. It may be sufficient to provide only one cable feed on the opposite side of the two cable feeds. This enables the cable to be led out again on the opposite side. This embodiment is suitable for an arrangement in which the underfloor lights are symmetrical to the laid cable.
- At least one cavity is provided on the outside of the housing. Since the housing is usually introduced into the floor using an epoxy resin mortar or another material, the cavities are suitable for establishing a firm connection with the epoxy resin mortar, so that the housing is optimally fixed in the floor.
- ribs can be provided on the outside of the housing of the underfloor light. These ribs enlarge the surface of the housing and thus - in conjunction with the cavities and the rest of the housing surface - improve the heat transfer from the housing to the surrounding material.
- FIG. 1 shows a first perspective view of the housing 1 from the side of the cable feeds 4.
- FIG. 2 shows a second perspective housing from the opposite side of the illustration according to FIG. 1 shows the housing 1 of an underfloor fire, which is produced in the aluminum die casting process.
- the advantage of this manufacturing process compared to the conventional casting process is that the housing no longer has to be milled in terms of its dimensional accuracy.
- Another advantage of this method is that the fastening means for the lid can be cast in directly.
- reference number 2 is an example of a cast-in stainless steel pin, into which the thread for the fastening screw of the cover can already be provided.
- the threaded hole could also be drilled afterwards and the thread cut afterwards.
- a positioning pin 3 can also be cast in the same die-casting process in the edge surface receiving the lid.
- the housing 1 also has two inputs for cable feeds 4 on one side. This makes it possible to feed a cable in from one side and to lead it out again on this side.
- the decisive advantage here is that there is no longer any need to branch cables outside the housing. Since the supply cable has to be routed to the further underfloor lights, such branches outside the housing were previously necessary. Cable branches outside of the housing make special sealing or sleeve technology necessary to protect the branching and also had the disadvantage that you could only get to these sleeves or to the various cable branches in the event of repairs by opening the asphalt surface or the surface of the floor.
- the two feeds 4 in the new housing have the decisive advantage that the cable branches can be carried out within the housing and the further cable can be led out of the second cable feed 4 again.
- the cable junction thus benefits from the watertightness of the housing itself and is accessible at any time by opening the housing cover.
- ground connections 5, 5 X and 6 are also integrally formed on the new housing 1 (see also FIG. 2), the ground connections 5, 5 ⁇ being located outside the housing and the second ground connection 6 inside the housing at the bottom. This provides greater flexibility for the grounding of the housing 1.
- ribs 9 are provided on the outside of the housing.
- the cavities 7, 8, 8 ⁇ and the ribs 9 show a NEN, very beneficial effect. This is because they increase the surface of the outside of the housing, which improves the heat transfer from the housing via the epoxy resin mortar to the floor surface. This improved heat dissipation contributes significantly to extending the life of the underfloor light, since the heat generated by the lamps is an essential parameter of the life.
