Description

Connector for LED fluorescent lamp

The present invention relates to an LED illumination light connector device capable of mechanically and electrically connecting a plurality of LED illumination lamps.

Fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps using commercial AC power are the most commonly used in everyday life, but incandescent lamps are being taken away in terms of energy saving, and power efficiency is high, so that a higher illuminance can be secured for the same energy use Fluorescent lamps are being used more.

Therefore, in recent years, the lighting devices used mainly in offices and homes are fluorescent lamps. If the lighting medium is made of LEDs while maintaining the structure of such a fluorescent lamp, its lifespan is much longer than conventional lighting lamps (about 50,000 hours or more) LED lighting that can be adjusted is getting more popular nowadays.

However, the length of the LED lighting lamps manufactured and used conventionally is too long, for example, about 2400 mm, which causes the following problems in production, installation and transportation of LED lighting lamps.

First, since it takes up a large space in manufacturing the LED lighting lamp as described above, it is difficult to work on a typical production site.

Second, long LED lights are difficult to transport.

For example, since a general elevator is smaller than the width of the LED lighting lamp, it is difficult to stack a plurality of LED lighting lamps in the elevator and it is necessary to use a cargo elevator having a relatively large size (e.g., 2400 mm) .

In addition, it can be carried more than 1 ton (TON) of freight vehicle because of its length even when it carries LED light.

In addition, special pallets (pallets) should be made for transportation.

In addition, because of the length, the container loading efficiency is halved, and the logistics cost rises.

Third, since the long LED lighting lamp needs to be operated by two persons for installation or replacement, there is a problem that the work flow and cost increase.

Fourth, a separate fixture is required to prevent deflection of the LED light.

Fifth, the risk of dropping in the case of vibration impact is relatively large.

Therefore, it is necessary to make easy to manufacture the LED lighting lamp in the existing production line, to facilitate the transportation of the LED lighting lamp while using the existing transportation system, and to facilitate the installation and replacement of the LED lighting lamp .
