Description

LIGHTING DEVICE

An embodiment relates to a lighting device.

Generally, indoor or outdoor lighting is used as a lamp or a fluorescent lamp. In the case of such a bulb or fluorescent lamp, there is a problem that its lifetime is short and it is frequently exchanged. In addition, a conventional fluorescent lamp may deteriorate over time, and the illuminance may gradually decrease.

In order to solve such a problem, a light emitting diode (LED) capable of realizing excellent controllability, fast response speed, high electric light conversion efficiency, long life, low power consumption, Various types of lighting modules are being developed.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are a type of semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into light. The light emitting diode has advantages of low power consumption, semi-permanent lifetime, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness compared with conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. Accordingly, much research has been conducted to replace an existing light source with a light emitting diode, and a light emitting diode has been increasingly used as a light source for lighting devices such as various liquid crystal display devices, electric sign boards, and street lamps used outside the room.

Since such a light emitting diode is a point light source, an optical cover for converting a light into a plane light is used in a lighting apparatus in which a light emitting diode is used.

The optical cover is generally coupled to the housing. Conventionally, in the integral structure in which the upper and lower structures are separated or the upper and lower structures are not separated to fix the optical cover, the optical cover must have a structure that can be fixed to the housing.

At this time, if a clearance is generated between the optical cover and the housing, there is a problem that the coupling structure can not easily come out because the appearance of the product is not good.

Further, there is a problem that the optical cover and the housing must be in close contact with each other so that dust or the like does not flow from the outside.

Further, in the lighting apparatus according to the related art, an opening for connecting an external power source to the power source case and a cover for covering the opening are used. Since the cover covering the opening of the power source case is manufactured separately from the power source case, There is a separate inconvenience that the external power source and the power source of the lighting apparatus are connected and assembled separately. In addition, there is a problem that the cover is lost in the process.

In addition, the cover of the power source case must have a structure capable of being united with the power source case in a closed state and capable of fully opening the opening in an open state.

Patent Document 1:

In the embodiment, the opening cover covering the opening of the power source case is not easily detached from the power source case, but the opening is sufficiently opened.

The lighting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light source unit for generating light and a power source case for accommodating a power source unit for supplying a driving power source to the light source unit. The power source case defines a space in which the power source unit is accommodated, And an opening / closing cover that is slidably and rotatably coupled to the main body case to open and close the opening, and a cable electrically connecting the power unit to an external power source is provided between the opening / closing cover and the main body case And is pressed and fixed by the opening / closing cover and the body case.

In the embodiment, since the opening / closing cover is slidably and rotatably coupled to the main body case, there is an advantage that the opening / closing cover is not lost.

Further, in the embodiment, there is an advantage that the coupling structure of the opening / closing cover and the main body case is located inside the main body case so that the coupling structure is not exposed in the closed state.

In addition, the embodiment has an advantage that the opening of the main body case can be sufficiently opened in the open state by the cover arm.

In addition, the embodiment is advantageous in that the strain of the region where the coupling hook is formed in the rim of the optical cover is different from the strain in the other region, and the advantage that the coupling hook of the optical cover is easily fastened to the hook groove of the housing, Lt; / RTI >

The lighting device 100 receives a signal transmitted from the remote control device 200 and performs an operation based on the received signal.

The lighting device 100 is provided with a communication module 190 for communication with the remote control device 200.

The communication module 190 may be a communication module 190 using a Bluetooth low energy standard such as a communication standard used in the remote control device 200. [

The communication module 190 may use various local communication standards.

2 is a view showing a configuration of a lighting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the lighting apparatus 100 includes a power supply unit 160, an illumination driving unit 169, a light source unit 130, and a communication module 190.

The power supply unit 160 supplies driving power to each component constituting the lighting apparatus 100.

For example, the power supply unit 160 receives the AC power of 110V to 220V, and can supply DC power of any one of 25V, 50V, and 100V to the illumination driver 169 using the AC power. Also, the power supply unit 160 can supply DC power of 3V to the communication module 190 using the inputted AC power.

The illumination driving unit 169 receives power from the power supply unit 160 and changes the driving power supplied to the light source unit 130 based on the supplied power. The illumination driver 169 controls the brightness, color, and the like of the light source unit 130 based on the control signal received from the communication module 190.

The communication module 190 performs wireless communication with the remote control device 100. The communication module 190 receives the control signal transmitted from the remote control device 100 and transmits the control signal to the illumination driving unit 169 so that the power supplied to the light source unit 130 is controlled.

The illumination device 100 of the embodiment includes a communication module 190 therein and receives a control signal transmitted from the remote control device 200 through the communication module 190 and controls the light source unit 130 .

FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an illumination apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an illumination apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Sectional view.

3 to 5, the lighting apparatus 100 according to the embodiment includes a light source unit 130 that generates light, a housing 180 that houses the light source unit 130 therein, and has an opening 187, And an optical cover 140 that covers the light source unit 130 and is inserted into the opening 187 of the housing 180 to be diffused and diffuses the light generated by the light source unit 130.

The lighting apparatus 100 may further include a power supply case 110 and a reflector 120 in which the power supply unit 160 and / or the communication module 190 are accommodated.

The light source unit 130 generates light and supplies light to the illumination device 100.

For example, the light source unit 130 may include a point light source 131 and a circuit board 132 on which the point light sources are located. The light source unit 130 is housed inside the housing 180, and emits light downward. Specifically, the light source unit 130 is supported on one side of the housing 180.

Here, the point light source 131 includes a semiconductor element such as a light emitting diode.

The circuit board 132 may be a printed circuit board (PCB), a metal core PCB, a flexible PCB, a ceramic PCB, or the like.

One or a plurality of light emitting elements may be disposed. Further, when a plurality of light emitting elements are arranged, each light emitting element may emit different colors or may have different color temperatures.

The power supply case 110 accommodates the power supply unit 160 and / or the communication module 190. The power supply unit 160 and the communication module 190 are spaced apart from the housing 180. This is to prevent the heat generated in the power source unit 160 from being transmitted to the light source unit 130 to overheat the light source unit 130.

Specifically, the power supply unit 160 is disposed on the upper portion of the housing 180 so as to be spaced apart from the housing 180. The power supply case 110 is formed such that a power supply 160 housed therein is spaced apart from the housing 180.

Accordingly, the power source unit 160 may be located in the power source case 110, and the light source unit 130 may be located inside the housing 180 or the reflector 120, which are disposed apart from the power source case 110.

The power source unit 160 and the light source unit 130 may be electrically connected by a wire (not shown). The power case 110 may be formed with a wire pipe 119 through which a wire passes. The outer lumen canal tube 119 is inserted into the through hole 189 formed in the housing 180.

At this time, the power source case 110 receives heat from the power source unit 160 and dissipates heat. For this purpose, the power supply case 110 may be formed of a metal material or a resin material having a high heat emission efficiency, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The power supply case 110 will be described later in detail.

In addition, the power case 110 may have a fixed blade 150 rotatably coupled thereto.

The fixed blade 150 is seated on the back surface of the ceiling to fix the lighting apparatus 100 when the lighting apparatus 100 is inserted and fixed into the ceiling with the front exposed only of the housing 180. [

At this time, the fixed blade 150 may have an elastic restoring force forward. Specifically, the fixed blade 150 is provided with an elastic force by the torsion spring 153.

The housing 180 defines a space in which the light source unit 130 and / or the reflector 120 are accommodated. In addition, the housing 180 provides a place where the optical cover 140 is coupled. Preferably, the housing 180 may function as a heat sink for transmitting heat generated from the light source unit 130 to the outside.

The housing 180 is thermally connected to the light source unit 130 and receives heat generated from the light source unit 130. The housing 180 dissipates the heat transferred from the light source unit 130 to the outside.

Accordingly, the housing 180 may be made of a metal or a resin material having an excellent thermal conductivity.

In addition, the housing 180 may have a structure for increasing the contact area with air. Although not shown in the drawings, a plurality of holes or a plurality of pins may be formed in the housing 180.

The housing 180 may be spaced apart from the power source case 110. The housing 180 may have a structure that restricts the heat from being transmitted to the power case 110 while dissipating the heat received from the light source unit 130 to the outside.

More specifically, the housing 180 defines a space in which the light source unit 130 is supported by a lower member 181 supported by the light source unit 130 and downwardly connected to the rim of the lower member 181, And a side wall 182 defining an opening 187 to which the cover 140 is coupled. In addition, the housing 180 may further include a flange 185 formed to extend outward from the side wall 182.

The lower member 181 supports the light source unit 130. The lower member 181 may be thermally connected to the light source unit 130. Here, the term " thermally connected " would mean that the heat transfer between the components is connected efficiently.

Specifically, the circuit board 132 of the light source unit 130 may be in surface contact with the lower surface of the lower member 181.

The side wall 182 extends downward from the rim of the lower member 181 to define a space in which the light source unit 130 is located and an opening 187. The sidewalls 182 may form a closed space in a plane perpendicular to the downward direction. The side wall 182 dissipates the heat transferred from the lower member 181 to the outside.

Specifically, the side wall 182 includes an inclined portion 182 having a section extending downward for light diffusion, a step 183 for supporting the optical cover 140, and an optical cover 140, As shown in FIG.

The inclined portion 182 has a section that expands as it goes downward, and determines the reflection angle of the reflector 120 when the reflector 120 is provided. The inclined portion 182 is coated on the inner surface of the reflector 120 when the reflector 120 is not provided, thereby improving the light directing angle of the light emitted from the light source unit 130. The inclined portion 182 extends downward from the rim of the lower member 181.

The step 183 provides a place where the optical cover 140 is supported. Specifically, the plank can form a surface having a predetermined area in the vertical direction. The step 183 is supported on the upper end of the rim 142 of the optical cover 140. Further, the step 183 supports the waterproof ring 170, which will be described later. The step 183 has a shape extending outward from the lower end of the inclined portion 182.

The housing 180 is formed with a hook groove 188 into which the coupling hook 143 of the optical cover 140 is fastened. The hook groove 188 is disposed in the contact portion 184. The adhered portion 184 provides a place where the optical cover 140 is inserted and closely contacted. In addition, the above-described hook groove 188 is formed in the contact portion 184. [ The hook groove 188 may be formed such that the inner surface of the contact portion 184 is recessed outward. Further, the hook groove 188 may be realized not only as a groove but also as a hole. In Fig. 3, the hook groove 188 is shown as a hole.

The adhered portion 184 is in close contact with the outer surface of the rim 142 to limit the entry of foreign matter and moisture into the space between the optical cover 140 and the housing 180. The adhered portion 184 has a shape corresponding to the rim 142 such that the rim 142 is inserted. Preferably, the adhered portion 184 may be ring-shaped viewed from below. In addition, the adhered portion 184 may have a height greater than the rim 142 such that the rim 142 is sufficiently interpolated.

The flange 185 functions to cover the buried portion when the housing 180 is embedded in the ceiling. The flange 185 is formed extending from the lower end of the contact portion 184.

The reflector 120 guides the light generated by the light source unit 130 to one side.

Specifically, the reflector 120 has a shape that the width of the reflector 120 increases as it goes forward in the cross-section, and guides the light generated by the light source unit 130 forward.

The reflector 120 may be made of a metal or a resin material, which is positioned inside the housing 180 and has excellent light reflectance.

Is housed in the reflector 120 and the housing 180, and is arranged to surround the light source unit 130. [

Since the optical cover 140 is exposed below the illuminator, there is a possibility that dust or moisture may enter between the optical cover 140 and the housing 180. Accordingly, the optical cover 140 has a structure that is in close contact with the housing 180, and has a structure that is easily assembled with the housing 180.

The optical cover 140 covers at least the lower portion of the light source unit 130 and diffuses or converts the light emitted from the light source unit 130 into a plane light. The optical cover 140 is inserted into the opening 187 of the housing 180 in an insertion manner.

FIG. 6A is a perspective view of an optical cover according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6B is a top view of the optical cover according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6C is a cross- Sectional view.

6, the optical cover 140 has a shape corresponding to the opening 187 of the housing 180 and includes a diffusion plate 141 for diffusing light incident from the light source unit 130, A rim 142 disposed along the circumference of the rim 142 and adapted to be inserted into the opening 187 and a coupling hook 143 disposed in the rim 142 and fastened to the hook groove 188 formed in the housing 180 .

The diffusion plate 141 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the opening portion 187 as seen from below, and covers the opening portion 187. Specifically, the diffusion plate 141 has a circular shape when viewed from below. The diffusion plate 141 may have various structures for converting or diffusing light emitted from a point light source of the light source unit 130 into a surface light. This will be described later.

The coupling hook 143 is disposed in the rim 142 and is fastened to the hook groove 188 formed in the housing 180. Specifically, the coupling hook 143 has a structure in which it is inserted and hooked into the hook groove 188. In particular, in order to prevent the coupling hook 143 from being exposed to the outside of the lighting apparatus, the coupling hook 143 is formed protruding outward from the outer surface of the rim 142. The coupling hook 143 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the lower end of the rim 142 in the upward direction. The coupling hook 143 is preferably formed integrally with the rim 142.

The rim 142 is disposed along the periphery of the diffusion plate 141 and is inserted into the opening 187. Specifically, the rim 142 extends upward from the rim of the diffusion plate 141, and is disposed so as to surround the diffusion plate 141. The rim 142 and the diffusion plate 141 may be integrally formed.

The rim 142 is inserted into and closely contacted with the contact portion 184 of the housing 180. The rim 142 may be coupled to the tight junction 184 of the housing 180 in an interference fit or intermediate fit manner. When viewed from below, the rim 142 has a ring shape corresponding to the tight contact portion 184. The rim 142 may also be elastically deformed and interpolated to the opening 187.

The rim 142 is in face-to-face contact with the housing 180 defining the opening 187. Specifically, the outer surface of the rim 142 is in surface contact with the inner surface of the tight contact portion 184. Therefore, dust, moisture and the like flowing into the space between the rim 142 and the tightly fitting portion 184 can be cut off.

Preferably, the embodiment may further include a waterproof ring 170 that seals between the rim 142 and the housing 180. Specifically, the waterproof ring 170 is formed to correspond to the rim 142 in a ring shape, and is disposed between the upper end of the rim 142 and the lower surface of the step 183.

For example, the rim 142 is divided into a first region 141a forming the periphery of the coupling hook 143 and a second region 141b excluding the first region 141a.

If the rigidity of the rim 142 is too weak and the strain is too great, there is a problem that the tight contact portion 184 and the rim 142 are not in close contact with each other. If the rigidity of the rim 142 is too strong and the strain is too small, There is a problem that the engaging hook 143, which slides on the inner surface of the contact portion 184 and is engaged with the hook groove 188, can not be easily engaged.

Here, the strain will mean deformation in the state where the object is in response to the stress.

The embodiment is characterized in that the periphery of the coupling hook 143 in the rim 142 is such that the coupling hook 143 is pushed into the contact portion 184 and is easily inserted into the hook groove 188, So that the region other than the periphery of the coupling hook 143 has a small strain so that it is in complete contact with the rim 142 and tight contact portion 184.

The first region 141a will mean the region where the coupling hook 143 is located in the rim 142 and its periphery.

Specifically, the strain of the first region 141a is greater than the strain of the second region 141b. In addition, the elastic force of the first region 141a may be formed smaller than the elastic force of the second region 141b.

More specifically, the rim 142 may have various structures having different elastic forces and strains of the first region 141a and the second region 141b. For example, the first region 141a and the second region 141b of the rim 142 may be made of heterogeneous materials having different strains or / and elastic forces from each other. At this time, the rim 142 may be manufactured by a double injection method.

As another example, the rim 142 may have a structure in which the first region 141a and the second region 141b are made of the same kind of material and the first region 141a and the second region 141b have a strain or / Lt; / RTI >

4, the rim 142 of the embodiment is formed to be relatively smaller than the thickness d1 of the first region 141a and the thickness d2 of the second region 141b. Accordingly, the first region 141a is easily deformed in the coupling process of the coupling hook 143, and the coupling hook 143 is easily engaged. Further, the second area 141b is in surface contact with the adhered part 184 and brought into close contact with each other.

The ratio of the thickness d1 of the first region 141a to the thickness d2 of the second region 141b is preferably 0.2: 1 to 0.8: 1. If the thickness d1 of the first region 141a is too thin, it may not provide an elastic restoring force to the coupling hook 143. If the thickness d1 of the first region 141a is too thick, The fastening member 141a is not easily deformed, so that the fastening of the coupling hook 143 may not be easy.

The first region 141a may be formed by recessing a portion of the rim 142. The first region 141a may be formed to be embedded in the outer surface of the rim 142 or may be formed to be depressed from the inner surface of the rim 142 to the outside. Preferably, the first region 141a is formed by recessing the inner surface of the rim 142 to limit the adhesion of the outer surface of the rim 142 on which the first region 141a is formed to the adhered portion 184 .

In particular, referring to FIG. 6C, the first region 141a may have a total area on the rim 142 in the vertical direction (height direction), but preferably the height h1 of the first region 141a, Is smaller than the height (h2) of the rim (142). That is, the first region 141a is spaced apart from the lower end of the rim 142 and positioned above the rim 142. The rim 142 has a structure in which a first region 141a is disposed at an upper portion in a vertical direction and a second region 141b is disposed at a lower portion thereof. Accordingly, since the lower portion (second region 141b) of the rim 142 is in close contact with the tight contact portion 184, inflows from the outside can be limited.

6B, the first region 141a is repeated at a predetermined pitch along the circumference of the diffuser plate 141 at the rim 142. As shown in FIG. More specifically, the first region 141a forms a predetermined arc in the rim 142 forming the circumference of the diffusion plate 141 when viewed from above. At this time, the central angle S1 of the arc formed by each of the first regions 141a may be 5 degrees to 60 degrees. It is preferable that two to four first regions 141a are formed along the periphery of the diffusion plate 141.

The rim 142 may be made of a resin material having an elastic force. For example, the rim 142 may be made of at least one of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), acrylic resin, and polycarbonate.

7 is a cross-sectional view of a diffusion plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

With reference to Fig. 7, an embodiment of the diffusion plate will be described.

The optical cover 140 includes a light guide sheet 11 that converts the light incident from the light source unit 130 into surface light and a light guide plate 11 that is positioned on the upper surface of the light guide sheet 11 and condenses and diffuses the light incident from the light guide sheet 11. [ The optical sheet 12 may be formed of a resin.

The light guide sheet 11 serves to guide the light incident from the light source unit 130. [ That is, it is possible to uniformize the brightness of the incident light, and convert incident light into surface light and provide the light to the optical sheet 12.

The light guide sheet 11 may be formed of, for example, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or transparent acrylic resin in a flat type or wedge type and may be made of a glass material , And lenses made of a plastic material, but are not limited thereto.

The optical sheet 12 serves to condense and diffuse the surface light incident on the light guide sheet 11.

For example, the optical sheet 12 includes a diffusion film 13 for diffusing light incident from the light guide sheet 11 in one direction including diffusion particles such as beads, And a protective film 15 stacked on the top surface to protect the prism film 14 and the prism film 145 in which the prism pattern is formed to concentrate the light. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

8 is a partial side view of an optical cover according to another embodiment of the present invention.

8, the optical cover 140A of another embodiment has no difference in thickness between the first area 141a and the second area 141b, and the elastic slit 144 is further formed There is a difference.

The rim 142 of another embodiment is formed of the same material as the first region 141a and the second region 141b and the first region 141a and the second region 141b have a strain or / The elastic slit 144 is disposed.

A pair of elastic slits 144 are disposed, and a coupling hook 143 is positioned between the pair of elastic slits 144. The pair of elastic slits 144 are disposed apart from each other in the first area 141a to define a boundary between the first area 141a and the second area 141b. The resilient slit 144 is formed through one region of the rim 142.

The elastic slits 144 may have a variety of arrangements. As shown in Fig. 8, the elastic slits 144 can be formed long in the vertical direction, and the pair of elastic slits 144 are arranged to be spaced laterally. At this time, in order to further improve the strain of the first region 141a, the upper portion of the elastic slit 144 may be opened. That is, the resilient slit 144 extends to the upper end of the rim 142.

A part of the first region 141a is separated from the rim 142 by the elastic slit 144 so that the second region 141b can be easily deformed by an external force.

FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13, the lighting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment includes a power source case 110 and a light source unit 130. The light source unit 130 is as described above.

For example, the power source case 110 may be formed by coupling the main body case 111 and the opening / closing cover 113. [

Of course, the power case 110 may be formed by combining three or more segments.

The main body case 111 has an opening at one side and defines a space in which the power source unit 160 is accommodated.

Specifically, the main body case 111 includes a lower body 116 for supporting the power supply 133 by forming a bottom surface 116a, and a space for covering a part of the lower body 116 and defining a space where the power supply 133 is located And an upper body 112 which is made of a metal.

Supporting members protrude from both sides of the bottom surface 116a of the lower body 116 to separate the lower body 116 and the housing 180 when the lower body 116 is coupled to the upper portion of the housing 180. [ The lower body 116 is formed with a boss 111b to which a fastening member b passing through the opening / closing cover 113 is coupled.

The lower body 116 may be provided with a plurality of protrusions 111a for fixing the cable 200 located inside the cable hole 118 described later. Of course, the plurality of protrusions 111a may have various structures for pressing the cable 200, and may have various shapes protruding into the cable hole 118. Of course, the positions of the plurality of projections 111a are not limited to the lower body 116, but may be freely disposed in the power source case 110. [

Here, the upper body 112 covers at least a portion of the lower body 116 such that at least a portion of the power source 160 is exposed through the opening 117. The connection portion 114 to which the cable 200 is connected is exposed to the power supply portion 160 through the opening 117 of the upper body 112. Preferably, the opening 117 of the upper body 112 exposes the boss of the lower body 116 and the plurality of projections 111a.

The upper body 112 has a structure that is opened downward, and an opening 117 is formed on the upper side and the side side to be opened and closed by the opening / closing cover 113.

The opening 117 of the upper body 112 can be shielded by the opening / closing cover 113. [ The state in which the opening / closing cover 113 exposes a part of the power supply unit 160 is defined as the opening state of the opening / closing cover 113, and the opening / closing cover 113 is opened to the opening of the power supply unit 160 and the upper body 112 117 is defined as the closed state of the opening / closing cover 113. [

The main body case 111 defines a space in which the power supply unit 133 is located by being coupled with the opening / closing cover 113. The opening / closing cover 113 includes a cover portion 21, a hinge pin 23, and a cover arm 25.

Also, the main body case 111 is engaged with the opening / closing cover 113 to press the cable 200. Here, the cable 200 electrically connects the power source unit 160 and an external power source.

The cable 200 is positioned between the main body case 111 and the opening and closing cover 113 and the cable 200 is pressed by the coupling force between the main body case 111 and the opening and closing cover 113.

The main body case 111 and the opening / closing cover 113 can be fastened by a fastening member b such as a bolt.

At this time, the cable 200 is arranged to penetrate from the inside of the power case 110 to the outside. Therefore, since the cable 200 is naturally fixed to the power case 110 when the power case 110 is assembled, a separate fixing work is not required.

In addition, since the cable 200 is fixed at the time of assembling the power supply case 110, the possibility that the cable 200 is detached from the power supply 133 is reduced.

Specifically, the cable 200 may be positioned between the upper end surface of the upper body 112 of the main body case 111 and the lower end of the opening / closing cover 113.

At this time, the power source case 110 may further include a cable hole 118 through which the cable 200 passes.

The cable hole 118 is defined by the combination of the main body case 111 and the opening and closing cover 113. The cable 200 passing through the cable hole 118 is defined by the main body case 111 and the opening and closing cover 113, As shown in Fig.

For example, the cable hole 118 may be defined as a groove 113a formed at one end of the opening / closing cover 113 and a partial area of the body case 111 for shielding the groove 113a. Of course, the opposite is also possible. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, the cable hole 118 is defined as a groove 113a formed at one end of the opening / closing cover 113 and an upper body 112 for shielding the groove 113a.

The size of the cable hole 118 is not limited, but it will have a size enough to press the cable 200 sufficiently when the main body case 111 and the opening / closing cover 113 are coupled.

A plurality of cables 200 may be positioned in the cable hole 118 and a plurality of cables 200 may be pressed by the cable hole 118.

Specifically, the length of the cable hole 118 is increased in accordance with the number of the cables 200, and the width d1 of the hole of the cable 200 may be formed smaller than the diameter of the cable 200. [

Therefore, when the main body case 111 and the opening / closing cover 113 are engaged, the cable 200 is disposed in the cable hole 118 in one row in the longitudinal direction, and by the upper and lower ends of the cable hole 118 Lt; / RTI >

It is preferable that the width d3 of the cable hole 118 is 60% to 95% of the diameter of the cable 200.

When the width d3 of the cable hole 118 is greater than 95% of the diameter of the cable 200, the cable 200 is hardly fixed by the coupling of the power case 110, %, The conductive core of the cable 200 may be damaged.

The power source case 110 forming the cable hole 118 may further include a plurality of protrusions 111a protruding toward the inside of the cable hole 118. [

The plurality of projections 111a press the cable 200 located in the cable hole 118. [

In particular, the projection 111a raises the pressure applied to the cable 200, thereby improving the fixing force.

The plurality of protrusions 111a may be rounded at the ends to prevent the cable 200 from being damaged. The plurality of protrusions 111a may be formed in a part of the power case 110. [

For example, the plurality of projections 111a may protrude from one surface of the opening cover 113 and / or the upper body 112 defining the cable hole 118, (Not shown). However, the positions of the plurality of projections 111a are not limited thereto. In the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, the plurality of projections 111a can be positioned so as to be covered by the opening / closing cover 113 in the closed state of the opening / closing cover 113. Preferably, a plurality of protrusions 111a are formed protruding from the bottom surface of the adjacent lower body 116 in the cable hole 118. [

The opening and closing cover 113 is slidably and rotatably coupled to the body case 111 to open and close the opening. The opening / closing cover 113 can open the opening sufficiently in the opened state and has a structure in which the connection structure of the opening / closing cover 113 and the main body case 111 is not exposed to the outside in the closed state.

The opening and closing cover 113 includes a cover 21 covering the opening of the main body case 111, at least two hinge pins 23 slidably coupled to the main body case 111, And at least two cover arms (25) connecting the cover portions (21).

The cover portion 21 has a shape corresponding to the opening of the main body case 111 and covers the opening of the main body case 111. Specifically, the cover portion 21 forms a part of the upper surface and the side surface of the main body case 111 in the closed state. A groove 113a defining the cable hole 118 is formed in the cover portion 21. [ The cover portion 21 is formed with a through-hole 113b through which the fastening member passes.

The cover arm 25 connects the cover portion 21 and the hinge pins 23. The cover arm 25 has a predetermined length so as to secure a rotating space when the cover portion 21 is rotated around the hinge pin 23.

The hinge pins 23 are slidably engaged with the main body case 111. The hinge pins 23 are formed protruding from the cover arm 25. The hinge pins 23 provide a center of rotation when the cover portion 21 is rotated, and are coupled to the body case 111 in a slanting manner.

To this end, the main body case 111 is provided with a guide rail 112a to which the hinge pins 23 are slidably and rotatably coupled.

The guide rail 112a guides the hinge pins 23 to slide. Specifically, the guide rails 112a may be protrusions 111a protruding in parallel from one surface of the main body case 111, or may be formed by recessing one surface of the main body case 111. [

In particular, the guide rails 112a are disposed on opposite surfaces of the body case 111. [ At this time, the hinge pins 23 are inserted into the guide rails 112a by the elastic force of the cover arms 25.

Specifically, the cover arms 25 are spaced equally from the mutually facing surfaces of the main body case 111, and the hinge pins 23 are formed so as to protrude in a direction away from each other in the cover arms 25 . More specifically, the guide rails 112a are positioned on the inner surface of the main body case 111 to prevent the guide rails 112a from being exposed to the outside.

The guide rail 112a is disposed vertically adjacent to the opening 117 in the main body case 111. The guide rail 112a may be provided with an escape prevention protrusion 112b for preventing the hinge pins 23 from separating from the upper end thereof.

Therefore, the hinge pins 23 slide up and down along the guide rails 112a, and become center of rotation when the cover portion 21 is rotated. At this time, the cover arm (25) increases the turning radius of the cover portion (21), thereby facilitating the electric work of the operator.

An insertion groove 112c is formed in the main body case 111 so that at least a part of the cover arm 25 is inserted in the opening state of the opening and closing cover 113 to increase the turning radius of the cover portion 21. [

The insertion groove 112c is recessed in the rotational direction of the cover portion 21 in the open state. The insertion groove 112c supports the cover arm 25 to limit the turning radius of the cover arm 25. [ Particularly, the insertion groove 112c is formed to be inclined upwards about the upper end of the guide rail 112a. Therefore, the cover arm 25 is supported by the self weight of the cover portion 21 in the insertion groove 112c.

14 and 15 are reference views for explaining opening and closing operations of the opening and closing cover according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 14, in the closed state, the opening / closing cover 113 presses the cable 200 to prevent the cable 200 from coming off.

In order to open the opening / closing cover 113, the fastening member of the opening / closing cover 113 is disengaged and the cover portion 21 is lifted up. At this time, the hinge pins 23 slide upward along the guide rails 112a.

Referring to FIG. 15, when the hinge pins 23 are slid to the upper end of the guide rail 112a, the cover unit 21 is rotated. At this time, the cover arm 25 is inserted and supported in the insertion groove 112c.
