Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an illumination frame,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting frame installation structure and an installation method thereof, and more particularly, to a lighting frame installation structure and a lighting installation structure providing a concrete and simple means and a method for installing a lighting device or a lighting device in a ceiling- ≪ / RTI >

In general, a lighting fixture, a lighting fixture or a lighting fixture has various shapes and structures such as a direct attachment type (for example, a straight portion), a pendant type (for example, a wire hanging lamp), a holder type, a buried type, I have a proper installation method.

The fluorescent lamp, which is a type of embedding type, has a pendant type or a buried type structure. For example, in the case of a buried type, a fluorescent lamp can be fitted into a lighting installation hole of a ceiling, and includes a housing having a plurality of screw holes, a power supply device provided in the housing, a plurality of straight fluorescent lamp sockets connected to the power supply device, And a lamp detachably coupled to the socket.

Further, after the housing is fitted in the lighting installation hole, when the panel around the periphery of the lighting installation hole and the rim of the housing are overlapped with each other, by screwing a plurality of screws to the panel around the lighting installation hole through the screw hole of the housing , The fixing frame can be fixed to the lighting mounting hole. Here, the user may mean an installation worker or a maintenance worker.

In this process, the user simultaneously performs the operation of supporting the fixed frame corresponding to the heavy object to the ceiling and the operation of pushing the tool toward the ceiling to screw the screw, so that the operation of the user for installing the fluorescent light causes the musculoskeletal diseases ≪ / RTI >

For example, Patent Literature 1, which is the background of the present invention, discloses a lamp for a fluorescent lamp, in which a screw is inserted into a plurality of fastening holes formed along a rim of a lamp for a fluorescent lamp and is then coupled to an installation frame, Is detachably coupled to the installation frame.

However, in such a conventional method for installing a fluorescent lamp, a driver, which is a tool for rotating the screw, must necessarily be provided. When the lamp for the fluorescent lamp is fixed to the installation frame or installed for maintenance after installation, When removing from the installation frame, it is cumbersome and inconvenient to rotate or tighten the plurality of screws one by one with a screwdriver.

In addition, the periphery of the installation frame hole may be weakened by the screw hole around the installation frame hole of the ceiling where the screw is once embedded, and a problem that the lamp for a fluorescent lamp may fall due to weakening of the screw tightness when re- .

In order to solve such a problem, a conventional fluorescent lamp is provided with a rotation lever rotatably coupled to a body of a lighting device, a rotation bracket and a slide engagement bar for converting the rotation of the rotation lever into a linear movement, However, since the weight of the fluorescent lamp itself is excessively heavy due to these configurations, the combination of the complicated components in the manufacturing is required, and the disadvantage that the user can not prevent the occurrence of the musculoskeletal diseases have. Further, since the luminaire is fixed only by the friction of the slide latch bar, it is difficult to reliably maintain the fixed state.

On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a closed-type embedding fluorescent lamp for indoor use, but the case itself is screwed to the ceiling by screwing in the same way as the embedding installation method.

However, Patent Document 2 discloses only a wire-like elastic clip capable of engaging the case with the engaging rim for the illumination plate, and the case is still attached to the case mounting hole through the screwing method, There is no means for reliable and robust coupling, while performing faster and easier.

Further, the wire-like elastic clip is configured to apply an elastic force to the wound portion, and does not have means for reinforcing or increasing the elastic force. Therefore, when the wire-like elastic clip is subjected to an excessive external force, the restoring force of the wire-like elastic clip may be lost, or looseness may occur at a portion where the wire-like elastic clip is engaged due to plastic deformation.

Further, in Patent Document 2, the installation work of the lamp mechanism is very inconvenient by using the screwing method. Therefore, there is a need for a means for easily and quickly installing a light fixture and for preventing a user's musculoskeletal diseases in advance.

2, the lighting frame 110 is a container structure that can be embedded in the lighting installation hole 10, and includes four side walls and an enclosure 111 that closes the top of the side walls with the top side .

The illumination frame 110 may be manufactured by bending a painted steel plate. In addition, a power supply device mounting hole and a straight fluorescent lamp socket mounting hole are formed on the upper surface of the lighting frame 110, and in particular, a wire-shaped elastic clip 121 of the cover frame 120, A long hole 111a is formed for fastening. In addition, clip holes 113 are formed at both side walls of the housing 111 of the illumination frame 110 at regular intervals.

In addition, the illumination frame 110 includes a rim 112 that is radially bent at the open end of the housing 111. The rim 112 serves as a stopper when the housing 111 of the illumination frame 110 is inserted into the illumination installation hole 10 and then contacts the panel 200 around the illumination installation hole 10 You can play a role.

The cover frame 120 is coupled to the illumination frame 110 with a wire-like elastic clip 121 so as to cover the opened portion of the housing 111 of the illumination frame 110 and the rim 112. Here, the connection relationship between the illumination frame 110 and the cover frame 120 using the wire-like elastic clip 121 is not disclosed in this description because it is disclosed in detail in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, .

7, the cover frame 120 is provided with a vertical rib 123 protruding to form a rectangular wall shape from the inner side of the cover, as a rectangular rectangular frame structure that can cover the illumination frame 110 And the diffusion plate 122 and the vertical rib 123 are fixed to each other by a fixing clip 124 in which a diffusion plate 122 is disposed in an inner space of the vertical rib 123. The fixing clip 124 includes a pair of latches 124a which are inclinedly projected into the inner space of the fixing clip 124 so as to face each other through the sheet metal work and when the vertical clip 123 is inserted into the vertical rib 123, To the vertical ribs 123, so that the diffusion plate 122 can be fixed.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the panel-reinforcing beam 300 is provided on the inner surface of the panel 200 that is bounded by the light-installing hole 10.

6, the panel reinforcement beam 300 has a U-shaped channel cross-sectional shape, and the engaging jaw portion 421 of the outer elastic ring 420 of the clip portion 400 is inserted into the U- ). Of course, the panel-reinforcing beam 300 may also function to reinforce the rim of the lighting installation hole 10. [

Referring again to FIG. 2, the clip hole 113 may be formed in the longitudinal direction of the illumination frame 110 at the side wall of the housing 111, and may be formed of one or more.

The clip portion 400 may include an inner elastic piece 430, 431 that is resiliently coupled through each clip hole 113 and increases the elastic support force by abutting the end portion in a triangular shape.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the clip portion shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a side view of the clip portion shown in Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the clip portion 400 may have elasticity or elasticity when the shape of the clip portion 400 is to be deformed within the allowable elastic deformation tolerance by the action of an external force (e.g., a force generated by a user) It is produced through mechanical or physical treatment for producing a spring in order to generate an elastic supporting force. The clip portion 400 may be made of a metal material, more preferably a stainless steel material. The size of the clip portion 400 is different from that of a general elastic clip having a size and thickness capable of withstanding the load of the entire lighting apparatus including the illumination frame, It is designed to be able to carry out specific objectives and task solutions.

The clip portion 400 includes a pair of base plates 410 and 411 spaced apart from each other and having a planar shape that can be engaged with the clip hole 113 shown in FIG.

In addition, the clip unit 400 includes an outer elastic ring 420 connected to each of the base plates 410 and 411 with reference to the opposite sides. The outer elastic ring 420 has a size such that it can be inserted into the clip hole 113 when the elastic ring 420 is elastically deformed and has a size such that it can be elastically coupled to the clip hole 113 by the engagement tab 421 upon restoration .

That is, the outer elastic ring 420 is integrally formed with each of the base plates 410 and 411, and has a triangular or diamond-like cross-sectional shape in which a curved shape is located at the end through bending.

The outer elastic ring 420 is integrally formed with a hooking step 421 having a bent shape. Here, the position where the latching jaw 421 is formed on the external elastic ring 420 can be determined in consideration of the thickness of the side wall of the enclosure of the illumination frame and the position of the slit of the panel reinforcement beam.

The portions of the outer elastic ring 420 extending from the one base plate 410 or the other base plate 411 are connected to each other at the end of the curved shape so that the one base plate 410 And the other side base plate 411 move toward or away from each other, the outer elastic ring 420 is resiliently deformed as if the outer elastic ring 420 is gently folded to generate an elastic supporting force (e.g., a first elastic supporting force) .

In addition, the clip portion 400 includes a cutout portion 425 of a C-shaped or C-shaped shape formed in the external elastic ring 420, respectively.

The clip portion 400 is disposed at each of the cutouts 425 and extends obliquely toward the inner space of the outer elastic ring 420 from the middle of the base plates 410 and 411 so as to form a triangular- And includes elastic pieces 430 and 431.

Each of the inner elastic pieces 430 and 431 is located inside the cut-out portion 425, so that it is possible to perform free-form movement based on the base plates 410 and 411.

The end portions of the inner elastic pieces 430 and 431 arranged in a triangular shape are simply in contact with each other, but are not integrally connected to each other. Accordingly, when the one base plate 410 and the other base plate 411 are moved or moved to approach each other in response to the action of the external force, the inner elastic pieces 430, 431 which are slantingly engaged with each other : The second elastic supporting force), the first elastic supporting force can be reinforced or increased.

2, the clip portion 400 is inserted into the clip hole 113 in the outer space of the side wall of the housing 111 in the inner space of the housing 111, So that the lighting frame 110 is fixed to the lighting installation hole 10 by elastic coupling.

Hereinafter, an installation method of a lighting frame installation structure will be described. Here, the installation method may be realized by a user, but may be performed by a conventional semi-automated or automated tool and equipment, considering the characteristics that installation work can be performed simply by inserting the clip unit 400 .

5 to 8 are sectional views for explaining an installation method of the illumination frame installation structure shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user separates the illumination frame 110 and the cover frame 120 before installation work.

Thereafter, in this installation method, the electric wire 21 of the lamp power supply unit 20 provided in the housing 111 of the lighting frame 110 of the lighting apparatus is connected to the power supply line 11 drawn from the ceiling or the wall A step of electrically connecting each other may be included.

Thereafter, the housing 111 is inserted into the lighting installation hole 10 and the rim 112 of the housing 111 is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the panel 200 around the lighting installation hole 10 And the state shown in Fig. 6 is obtained.

Referring to Figure 6, a user may use one or more of a pair of light sources (e.g., a light source, a light source, a light source, etc.) The outer elastic ring 420 of the clip portion 400 is deformed into a size that can be inserted into the clip hole 113 of the side wall of the housing 111 along with the movement of the base plates 410 and 411 of the clip portion 400 toward each other, And the elastic supporting force is increased as the inner elastic pieces 430 and 431 of the clip unit 400 elastically support the movement of the base plates 410 and 411. [

The reason why such a strong elastic supporting force is required is to securely and reliably fix the entire lighting apparatus including the lighting frame 110 to the lighting installation hole 10 after the following steps are performed.

In this installation method, the external elastic ring 420 of the clip portion 400, which is deformed in a small amount in accordance with the action of the external force against the base plates 410 and 411, is inserted through the clip hole 113, The state shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained.

Here, the outer elastic ring 420 of the clip unit 400 is deformed to a small extent, which means that the distance between the latching jaw 421 on one side of the outer elastic ring 420 and the latching jaw on the other side is narrowed, Quot;). ≪ / RTI >

7, when the action of the external force acting on the base plates 410 and 411 is removed, the outer elastic ring 420 and the inner elastic pieces 430 and 431 are restored to their original shapes, Is secured to the slit 301 of the panel reinforcing beam 300 provided on the inner surface of the panel 200 bounded by the lighting installation hole 10. [

 In addition, the step of inserting and the step of securing can be repeated as many times as the number of clip parts 400 to be fastened.

As a result, the inner elastic pieces 430 and 431 of the clip part 400 exert an elastic supporting force by abutting their ends so as to form a triangular shape at the cut part of the external elastic ring 420, so that the base plates 410 and 411 A second elastic supporting force for increasing the first elastic supporting force of the external elastic ring 420 is generated when the external elastic ring 420 tries to approach each other by the action of the external force. Therefore, the clip portion 400 can be fixed to the clip hole 113 using the resultant force of the first elastic supporting force and the second elastic supporting force.

At the same time, the clip portion 400 can be held in a more stable state by not only the first elastic supporting force and the second elastic supporting force but also the coupling relation (friction force) between the latching jaw portion 421 and the slit 301.

The cover frame 120 as shown in FIG. 8 is then coupled to the illumination frame 110 using a conventional wire-like elastic clip 121 after the illumination frame 110 is installed in the illumination attachment hole 10.
