Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
  • The present disclosure relates to an LED lighting fixture, and particularly to an illumination main body of a LED lighting fixture able to rotate or swing relative to the shade of the LED lighting fixture.
    • Description of the Related Art
  • Because Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are light, compact, low-pollution illumination elements with a long usage lifetime, the application of the LED to lighting equipment has become a major development in the optoelectronics industry, and LEDs are gradually replacing traditional light sources. The lighting direction of the conventional LED lighting fixture can be adjusted to fit various needs in an environment; however, the application of an adjustment mechanism to conventional LED lighting fixtures is challenging because conventional LED lighting fixtures are compact and thus provide limited space to fit such a mechanism.
  • Therefore, there is a need to develop a new LED lighting fixture by changing its interior structure such that the lighting body of the LED lighting fixture is able to rotate or swing relative to the shade of the LED lighting fixture to solve the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • EP2706284 and US8403533 disclose each a system for mounting a recessed lighting source comprising an annular fixing member according to the preamble of claim 1.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A main object of the present disclosure is to provide an LED lighting fixture having an illumination main body that is able to rotate or swing relative to the shade of the LED lighting fixture. To achieve the abovementioned object, the LED lighting fixture of the present disclosure comprises a shade, an illumination main body and a connecting ring. The shade comprises an annular groove and the connecting ring is disposed therein. The connecting ring comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the
    second end both connect to the illumination main body; thus, the illumination main body is able to rotate or swing relative to the shade. The LED light fixture further comprises two sleeves, wherein the two sleeves engage with the first end and the second end individually.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded schematic drawing illustrating an LED lighting fixture according to the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing illustrating the LED lighting fixture according to the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing illustrating part of the illumination main body detached from the shade. FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing illustrating the illumination main body rotated relative to the shade.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • To facilitate understanding and to clarify the object, characteristics, and advantages of the present disclosure, the following specific embodiments and figures illustrating the present disclosure are presented as a detailed description.
  • Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. FIG. 1 is an exploded schematic drawing illustrating an LED lighting fixture according to the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing illustrating the LED lighting fixture according to the present disclosure; FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing illustrating part of the illumination main body detached from the shade; FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing illustrating the illumination main body rotated relative to the shade.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the LED lighting fixture 1 comprises a shade 10, a front cover 20, a connecting ring 30 and an illumination main body 40. In the present embodiment, the LED lighting fixture 1 is a recessed lighting fixture. The shade 10 comprises an annular groove 11. The front cover 20 connects to the illumination main body 40. The connecting ring 30 is rotatably disposed in the annular groove 11. The illumination main body 40 connects to the shade 10 via the connecting ring 30. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the illumination main body 40 is able to rotate or swing relative to the shade 10 such that the illumination direction of the illumination main body 40 can be adjusted.
  • In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting ring 30 comprises a first end 31, a second end 32 and a curved portion 33, wherein the first end 31 and the second end 32 are situated on the same axis L. There is a gap H between the first end 31 and the second end 32. The two ends of the curved portion 33 are connected to the first end 31 and the second end 32 individually and the connecting ring 30 is rotatably disposed in the annular groove 11 because the curved portion 33 is engaged with the annular groove 11. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting ring 30 is a spring ring for facilitating the engagement between the annular groove 11 and the curved portion 33. It is noted that the gap H in the present embodiment is 1.5 cm; however, the present disclosure is not limited to this. The size of the gap H may vary depending on the size of the illumination main body 40 or the thickness of the connecting ring 30. Furthermore, it is also acceptable that there is no gap H between the first end 31 and the second end 32.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the illumination main body 40 of the present embodiment comprises two connecting slots 41 for individually connecting to the first end 31 and the second end 32. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the present embodiment; the first end 31 and the second end 32 can still be connected to the connecting slot 41 even if there is only one connecting slot 41. Furthermore, the LED lighting fixture 1 of the present embodiment further comprises two sleeves 50. The first end 31 and the second end 32 are both engaged with one sleeve 50 such that the friction between the illumination main body 40, the first end 31 and the second end 32 increases accordingly. The sleeve 50 can be made from rubber, plastics or the like.
  • According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the illumination direction of the LED lighting fixture 1 needs to be adjusted, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the illumination main body 40 can be pushed, for example by the fingers of the user, to cause part of the illumination main body 40 to swing and then to be exposed to the shade 10. It is noted that after part of the illumination main body 40 is exposed to the shade 10, the central axis of the illumination main body 40 no longer overlaps with the central axis of the shade 10 because the illumination main body 40 is slightly tilted. Thus the weight of the illumination main body 40 is borne by the first end 31 and the second end 32 of the connecting ring 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the exposed part of the illumination main body 40 can be rotated when a user holds and rotates it. As a result, the illumination main body 40 is able to rotate relative to the shade 10 due to the rotation performed by the curved portion 33 in the annular groove 11, such that the lighting direction of the illumination main body 40 can be adjusted.
  • Due to the design of the connecting ring 30, the illumination main body 40 of the LED lighting fixture 1 can be rotated relative to the shade 10, and the illumination direction of the illumination main body 40 can be thus adjusted by rotating or swinging the illumination main body 40, without any complicated mechanisms, so the problem of the prior art is solved.
  • It is noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only for illustration. It is intended that the present disclosure cover modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
