Description

  The present invention relates to an LED fluorescent lamp mounting apparatus that can be easily mounted.

  Conventional white fluorescent lamps are widely used because they have more efficient and natural colors for converting electric power to light than incandescent and halogen lamps and can be used for a longer period of time. By the time it runs out, there is a problem that not only the brightness decreases or darkens but also flickers. Instead of such conventional fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamp type lighting fixtures (hereinafter referred to as “LED fluorescent lamps”) incorporating LEDs (light emitting diodes) have been proposed. Those using LEDs have a longer life than conventional fluorescent lamps, and have the advantage of high reliability such as avoiding unexpected situations such as flickering and running out of a ball. Even in the case of LED fluorescent lamps, most of the sockets in the mounting portion use existing ones. Therefore, most of the conventional products are devoted to providing structural compatibility (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4). reference).

  In the prior art, there is an advantage that the existing fluorescent lamp equipment (socket) can be used, but the poor workability when the fluorescent lamp is attached to the socket must be inherited as it is. That is, the terminals protruding at both ends of the fluorescent lamp are energized by engaging with the socket to turn on the fluorescent lamp. When attaching, one terminal is engaged with the socket on one side, and then the other terminal Engage with the socket on the other side and hang the fluorescent lamp. Each socket is provided with elasticity, and it is relatively easy to engage the terminal with the socket on one side, but to engage the other terminal with the socket on the other side, Must be pushed into the socket on one side with more force. The terminal has a predetermined length, and the interval between the sockets on both sides is determined in advance. This is also true for sockets in which guide grooves are formed. If the socket is provided with a guide groove that communicates with the engagement hole of the terminal, the terminal is first assigned to the guide groove, and the main body is rotated to fix the terminal to the engagement hole. At this time, it is only necessary that the terminal inserted in the guide groove can be smoothly introduced into the engagement hole. However, a certain amount of care is required to insert the other terminal into the socket on the other side. There is a problem in that it cannot be easily attached due to a problem such as escape from the joint hole or the guide groove.

  The present invention provides a mounting device having a new structure different from that of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to make it very easy to mount an LED fluorescent lamp using a socket different from a normal fluorescent lamp. This is a proposal for a device with good workability.

  That is, in the present invention, a printed circuit board in which a large number of LEDs are arranged in a straight tube type main body to which a heat radiating plate is attached is arranged, and two terminals are projected from the bases attached to both sides of the straight tube type main body. In the LED fluorescent lamp in which the terminals on both sides are engaged with the socket of the power supply fixture, one socket is immovable but the other socket is a hinge shape that rotates within a certain range. Engagement holes are formed to match the one terminal, so that A. C. The main purpose is to connect power supplies.

  A. C. The power source is disposed in an immovable socket.

  The base is rotatably attached to the straight tube main body, and the irradiation direction of the straight tube main body can be set to an arbitrary direction.

  The LED fluorescent lamp has a lighting circuit on one side of the substrate, and a straight tube type main body has a D.C. C. A. Power supply and ballast etc. are arranged. C. If the power supply is connected to one terminal through the socket, it can be lit. Focusing on this point, the present invention provides a socket for engaging one of the terminals. C. The power supply is arranged so that current can be energized as before, but the socket that engages with the other terminal is not required, simplifying the device and allowing one socket to rotate within a certain range. Thus, the fluorescent lamp can be easily attached. When installing the straight tube type body, one terminal is first engaged with the engagement hole of the immovable socket, but the other hinge-shaped socket can make the movable part open as if it is a door hinge. The engaging hole of the movable part can be engaged with the opposing non-supporting terminal, and the fluorescent lamp can be attached without taking the trouble of pushing one side of the socket as in the prior art. In addition, unlike the conventional type in which the guide groove is formed, the labor for rotating the straight pipe type main body is unnecessary, and the work can be performed quickly and reliably in a one-touch manner. Conventionally, the fluorescent lamp provided on the ceiling has been often troublesome, but according to the present plan, there is a merit that it is possible to work by using, for example, a piercing tool.

  If the base having the terminal projecting is made rotatable with the straight tube type main body, the direction of the main body can be changed, so that the irradiation direction can be set to an arbitrary direction at the time of lighting. Since the LED fluorescent lamp has a heat sink attached to the main body, it can not be denied that the irradiation range is limited, and depending on the installation position of the fluorescent lamp, there is also a problem that the place where irradiation is required becomes dark. Therefore, the concern is cleared by directing the irradiation from the main body to the necessary part.

It is explanatory drawing of the apparatus which attached the LED fluorescent lamp. It is explanatory drawing which shows the attachment method of LED fluorescent lamp. It is explanatory drawing of a LED fluorescent lamp. It is explanatory drawing which shows the edge part of a straight pipe | tube type main body.

  Referring to the drawings, a mode for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an LED fluorescent lamp. A non-translucent heat radiating plate 3 is attached and has a length equivalent to that of a conventional white fluorescent lamp and irradiates light downward. Of course, no light is emitted from the portion where the heat radiating plate 3 is located.

  The bases 4 and 5 are attached to the right and left of the straight tube type main body 2, and the two terminals 6 and 7 project from the bases 4 and 5, respectively, and the overall shape is not much different from the existing LED fluorescent lamp. . And this terminal 6 * 7 engages with the socket 11 * 12 connected with the power supply fixture 10 of a ceiling, and the LED fluorescent lamp 1 is suspended.

  One socket 11 is immovable like a conventional type, but the other socket 12 is a hinge shape that rotates within a certain range. The hinge-shaped socket 12 is composed of a fixed portion 13 and a movable portion 14, and the movable portion 14 can rotate within a certain range as shown in FIG. The terminal 7 engages with the engagement hole 14 a formed in the movable portion 14. Therefore, when attaching the LED fluorescent lamp 1, first, the terminal 6 on one side (left side) is engaged with the engagement hole 11a of the fixed socket 11, and then the terminal 7 on the other side (right side) is connected to the hinge-shaped socket 12. It is attached to the engagement hole 14a of the movable part 14. The terminal 7 before engaging with the engaging hole 14a is in an unsupported state, and can be matched with the engaging hole 14a by rotating the movable portion 14 to be vertical, as in the conventional case. There is no need to force the terminal into the socket, and the installation to the socket 12 can be completed with a simple operation.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a printed circuit board 9 in which a large number of LEDs 8 are arranged in the LED fluorescent lamp 1 is arranged, and when the LEDs 8 are turned on, light is emitted from the straight tube main body 1 to the outside. The straight tube body 1 has a lighting circuit. C. A power supply, ballast, and the like are incorporated, but since these are general ones, details are omitted. In white fluorescent lamps, the above components are incorporated in the power supply fixture on the ceiling side, so the left and right sockets need to be set up so that the terminals can be energized. However, fluorescent lamps using LEDs have the above configuration. Connect A. to the terminal on one side. C. If the power supply is directly connected, it can be turned on, and the effect that the power supply fixture itself does not require a complicated mechanism is also expected. Since the hinge-shaped socket 12 is divided into a fixed part 13 and a movable part 14, A.I. C. The power source is preferably directly connected to the terminal 6 from the stationary socket 11.

  Since the heat radiating plate 3 integrated with the straight pipe type main body 2 exists, light is not irradiated to the outside from this portion. Since a normal white fluorescent lamp is entirely made of glass, when it is lit, the light has a radiation angle of 360 degrees, but the LED fluorescent lamp 1 blocked by the heat radiating plate 3 may be darkened at the place where it needs to be irradiated. . Therefore, in the present invention, the direction of the main body 2 can be changed by attaching the caps 4 and 5 to the straight pipe main body 2 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the position of the heat radiating plate 3 is not fixed, and light can be irradiated to a necessary portion.
