Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a lamp, of the LED lamp type, provided with a plurality of interchangeable LED modules. The expression "LED lamp", for the purposes of the present description, is understood to refer to a lamp which uses at least one light-emitting diode (hereinafter denoted by the acronym "LED"). The expression "LED module" instead is understood to refer to a printed circuit board on which one or more LED chips are mounted, preferably yet not exclusively by means of the surface mount technique. The "LED module" of the present invention is moreover a so-called low-voltage (< 24V) LED module. The present invention relates, moreover, to a lighting apparatus, commonly known as table lamp, or floor lamp, comprising this LED lamp. An object of the present application is also a kit comprising: at least one LED module which can be used to replace a module of the LED lamp, in case said module breaks down, an assembly of connection of the lamp with the stem of a light on which to mount the lamp, means for the removal of the broken LED module (e.g. Allen key), attachment means (e.g. screws) of the module functioning on the lamp and, optionally, the aforementioned LED lamp.
- In the current state of the art, LED lamps for the lighting of interiors, and more particularly the lamp whose LEDs are installed by means of the surface mount technique (SMD LED), are substantially made up of a substrate whereon a printed circuit board is attached whereon, in turn, a plurality of LEDs are mounted. The known LED lamps comprise, moreover, at least one component or connector, apt to receive electrical current from the outside for the supply of the printed circuit and, therefore, of the LEDs themselves. In recent years LED lamps have become increasingly commonly used in that they have various advantages, including greater energy efficiency and longer duration. LED lamps, if compared to halogen or fluorescent lamps, allow a reduction in the annual energy consumption, with consequent reduction in the emissions of CO2. Nonetheless, it is sufficient for one single LED to break down for the entire lamp to become no longer usable and to be therefore discarded. LED lamps being composed primarily of electronic components such as, in fact, printed circuit boards, diodes and, therefore, semiconductor metals, they have to be collected and disposed of as "electronic" waste or waste in the WEEE (waste of electrical and electronic equipment) class. The main problems linked to the disposal of this type of waste are linked to the presence, in the component materials of the equipment, of substances hazardous to health and/or to the environment such as copper, iron, aluminium, glass, silver, gold, lead and mercury. Considering that, already for some years now, the annual production of electronic waste has reached 49 million tonnes of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), it is clear how it is becoming increasingly urgent to find solutions which allow a reduction in the quantity of this waste, taking into account that, at the same time, the use of electronic components is practically now necessary in every field of the art. In the specific case of LED lamps, considering that they often comprise a number of LEDs of the order of tens, it is easy to see which is the waste generated by throwing away tens of LEDs which could still be useful, together with the components associated therewith, due to the breakdown of one single LED.
- The object of the present invention is, therefore, that of providing a LED lamp which allows the disadvantages of the prior art described above to be overcome, and that is, in particular, that allows a reduction in the production of electronic waste derived from the discarding of non-functioning LED lamps.
- This object is achieved by a LED lamp wherein the LED modules which compose it are independent one from the other and can be replaced singly. In this way, when a single LED of a single module has a fault, it will be sufficient to replace the single module with all the LEDs mounted thereon, but not the entire lamp and the other LEDs mounted on the other modules. To this end, the lamp that forms the object of the present invention comprises:
- a load-bearing structure provided with a first and with a second end; and
- at least one first and one second LED module, each of which comprising:
- ▪a printed circuit board; and
- ▪ at least one LED mounted on the printed circuit board.
- The LED modules are attached in a reversible manner on the load-bearing structure by mechanical attachment means and each LED module comprises at least one connector in order to receive electrical current from the outside. The connectors of each LED module and, in particular, the at least one connector of the first LED module and the at least one connector of the second LED module are placed in proximity of the same end of the load-bearing structure.
- The mechanical attachment elements comprise at least one screw, preferably two screws, for each of the at least two LED modules. Each LED module comprises at least one hole internally threaded and configured to accommodate a screw. The load-bearing structure, in turn, also comprises at least two holes (at least one per module) threaded internally and configured to each accommodate at least one screw.
- The load-bearing structure, moreover, can have two different geometric configurations. In a first configuration the load-bearing structure is given by the difference between a solid parallelepiped and a hollow cylinder, which projects outside of said parallelepiped, at the second end of said structure. In the second configuration, instead, the load-bearing structure is given by a hollow parallelepiped, the base surface of said parallelepiped being formed by the surface comprised between two concentric squares.
- The object of the present invention is also an apparatus for the lighting of interiors, comprising:
- a LED lamp having the features described above;
- a base for resting on the floor or on a table;
- a lampshade blocking element configured in order to cover the LED lamp and for the attachment of a lampshade; and
- a stem provided with a first end configured in order to be connected to the base and with a second end configured in order to be connected to the LED lamp and to the lampshade blocking element.
- According to the geometric configuration of the load-bearing structure of the LED lamp, the second end of the stem of the apparatus can in turn take on two different configurations. More particularly, when the load-bearing structure has the configuration indicated above as first configuration, the second end of the stem comprises:
- a circular hole configured for the insertion of the hollow cylinder; and
- at least one connector for each LED module of the lamp.
- Each connector of the second end of the stem is configured in order to be coupled with the connector of each of the LED modules, allowing the supply thereof.
- When instead the load-bearing structure has the configuration indicated above as second configuration, the second end of the stem comprises an element in the shape of a parallelepiped configured for the insertion in the load-bearing structure and at least one connector for each LED module of the lamp. In this case too, each connector of the second end of the stem is configured in order to be coupled with the connector of each of the LED modules, allowing the supply thereof. Finally, the object of the present application is also a kit, comprising:
- at least one LED module configured in order to be attached to said lamp, said at least one LED module being other than the LED modules comprised in the lamp;
- an assembly of connection of the lamp with the stem of a lamp on which to mount the lamp; and
- mechanical attachment means of said at least one LED module configured in order to be attached to said lamp.
- The kit of the present invention can, moreover, also comprise a lamp according to the present invention.
- The mechanical attachment means can be made up of:
- at least two socket head screws and an Allen key; or
- at least two thumb screws which can be unscrewed by hand.
- These and other objects of the present invention will be made clearer by the following detailed description of some preferred embodiments of the present invention, to be understood by way of a non-limiting example of the more general concepts claimed.
