Description

{LIGHTING APPARATUS WITH SLIDING BRACKET}

The present invention relates to a luminaire to which a sliding bracket is applied. More specifically, the present invention relates to a luminaire to which a sliding bracket is applied and which is easy to install and embed in a metal ceiling.

As the ceiling interior of buildings, metal ceiling structures and finishes are used. Such metal ceiling structures and finishing materials are suitable for environmental protection and human health by eliminating asbestos, and can exhibit various colors and textures, and their use is increasing.

As a metal ceiling structure, M-Bar and T-Bar are typically used. In order to fix the ceiling structure to the ceiling, a vertical carrying channel is provided at the top of the bar, which is connected to the bar by a fixing member, and the carrying channel has a lattice structure. Such a lattice structure causes spatial restrictions on the installation of the luminaire. That is, in the case of a luminaire having a rectangular structure with a long length in the longitudinal direction, it is generally impossible to install the luminaire because it exceeds the length of the lattice structure.

Therefore, in order to install a conventional luminaire having a rectangular structure in the metal ceiling structure, a part of the carring channel constituting the lattice is cut and a part of the carring channel is cut out to extend the longitudinal length of the lattice, A separate operation to fix the luminaire is required. In addition, since the luminaire can not provide a supporting force to the luminaire as much as the cut portion, a part of the ceiling structure is lowered over time after the luminaire is buried, resulting in cosmetic damage and safety problems.

Nevertheless, there is no provision of a luminaire which can be easily installed on a ceiling without additional work or construction, in order to install a long rectangular luminaire in the vertical direction.

The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Also, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification.

In this specification, a luminaire is a set including a led module, a circuit structure, a member for diffusing light, a housing including a rectangular frame, and a component including a component for emitting light, Quot; set "

In particular, the expressions such as horizontal and vertical, left and right, and left and right directions in this specification are for convenience of description and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

Figure 1 is an illustration of a ceiling structure in which a luminaire is installed, referenced in some embodiments of the present invention, and Figure 2 is an example of a luminaire installation area, which is a lattice structure that constitutes a ceiling structure, referred to in some embodiments of the present invention .

Referring to FIG. 1, the ceiling structure is formed by a horizontal bar 10 and a vertical bar 20 into a grid-shaped metal bar frame. The term "vertical" included in the vertical bar 20 means a direction in which two long sides among the four sides surrounding the rectangular luminaires to be described below are directed, and the same direction as the expression "vertical" Direction. In the case of "horizontal", it refers to a direction in which two sides having relatively short length among the four sides surrounding the rectangular luminaires are directed, and the same direction as the expression "horizontal" is repeated in the following.

In FIG. 1, the vertical bar 20 is illustrated as a plurality of bars 21 and 22 arranged at predetermined intervals, and may be, for example, a T-bar or an M-bar.

The horizontal bar 10 is exemplified by a plurality of bars 11, 12 and 13 arranged at predetermined intervals. For example, the horizontal bar 10 may be a carrying channel.

Although not shown, the ceiling structure may include various members such as a horizontal bar 10 and a clip for securing the vertical bar 20 to the ceiling, and may further include a configuration well known in the art to which the present invention pertains .

The horizontal bars 10 and the vertical bars 20 form a lattice and form a plurality of rectangular structures 30. In the case where such a rectangular structure 30 has a size suitable for embedding a luminaire, there is no problem in the construction of a luminaire. However, the rectangular structure 30 formed in a general ceiling structure is a space for installing a fluorescent lamp, Lt; / RTI > In this case, in order to install and embed a general rectangular lamp, a separate operation is required to cut a part of the horizontal bar and weld the lamp to fix it. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

In Fig. 2, a luminaire installation area is illustrated in which the rectangular structure 30 of Fig. 1 has two consecutive structures. In particular, the bottom of the luminaire installation area is shown in Fig. The lamp mounting area is an area formed by the vertical bars 21, 22 and the horizontal bars 11, 12, 13.

For example, the rectangular structure 30 of FIG. 1 may have a transverse length of 300 mm and a vertical length of 600 mm. It is assumed that a space of 300 mm in width and 1200 mm in height is required for installing the luminaire 50 of FIG. 2, and the size of the luminaire is smaller than the required space, but has a size close to the required space.

In this case, since the luminaire can not be buried by the horizontal bar 12 of the luminaire installation area, the horizontal bar 12 is cut and buried at the time of installing the luminaire. As a result, the supporting force of the ceiling structure is weakened, and the load dispersed in the bar constituting the lamp mounting area is increased, so that a part of the ceiling structure sinks. The construction method of cutting such a horizontal bar and embedding the luminaire can cause not only a cosmetic problem but also a safety problem. Further, a welding operation is further required to fix the luminaire 50 to at least a portion of the vertical bars 21, 22 and the horizontal bars 11, 13 after cutting the horizontal bar 12 and embedding the luminaire 50 do. This leads to an increase in the air of the luminaire construction work, thereby increasing the construction cost.

After the horizontal bar 12 is cut, the bracket is fixed to the ceiling structure, the lamp 50 is lifted up and is buried in the luminaire installation area of the ceiling, To the luminaire had to be performed. On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, brackets are attached to the luminaire without fixing the brackets to the ceiling structure, so that no separate cutting and welding work is required for embedding in the ceiling, thereby maximizing convenience in installation and economy.

Below. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 3 to 8. Fig.

Figures 3 and 4 are examples of a luminaire to which a bracket is applied, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. 3, embers 21 and 22 are shown as examples of the vertical bars 20 of FIG.

Hereinafter, the emblem 21 positioned on the left side of the lamp is referred to as the left bar, and the emblem 22 located on the right side of the lamp is referred to as the right side.

3 and 4, the lamp 100 includes a housing 150 including a circuit structure for radiating light when a led module such as a PCB is mounted, brackets 110 and 120 attached to both ends of the housing 150, , And the bracket 110 includes a guide region 130. [

Particularly, in FIG. 3, the front portion of the lighting fixture 100 is shown in which both ends of the bracket 110 of the lamp 100 are fixed to the left and right bars 21 and 22, respectively. At this time, the lamp 100 may be stacked in a bottom portion of the lamp 100 with guide means for diffusing the light by the LED module in the direction of the ground, for example, a diffusion cover, a reflector, and the like and an upper housing contacting the ceiling. In addition, the luminaire 100 may include a frame surrounding the rim of the bottom portion. Here, the front portion of the luminaire 100 may mean a horizontal portion of the frame surrounding the luminaire 100. Hereinafter, the horizontal portion of the frame will be referred to as a horizontal frame.

Referring to FIG. 4, the lamp 100 includes two horizontal frames in a rectangular shape, and a bracket 110 is attached to a horizontal frame positioned at the front, and a bracket 120 is attached to a horizontal frame positioned at the rear . The bracket 110 and the bracket 120 have the same configuration except that they are attached to each other only. Hereinafter, the bracket 110 will be used as a reference.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the guide region 130 is an opening of the bracket 110, through which the fixing member can be inserted into the front lateral frame of the lamp 100 from outside the bracket. The fixing member 135 is only fixed to the horizontal frame of the lamp 100 until the final fixing operation is performed, and it is possible to provide a degree of freedom in the lateral movement of the bracket 110. That is, the bracket 110 can be slid to the left or to the right until it is fixed by the fixing member 135. Here, the fixing member 135 may be a bakelite piece, which may be referred to as "navel piece "," piece piece ", or the like.

The fixing member 135 may include a projection formed on the outer surface of the bracket with a cross or a slot for fixing the user and a screw portion inserted into the horizontal frame of the lamp 100. The projecting portion is exposed to the outer surface of the bracket 110 and the screw member is inserted into the horizontal frame from the outside of the bracket 110 through the guide region 130 so that the fixing member 135 can be fixed to the horizontal frame. The thickness of the fixing member 135 passing through the guide region 130 may be the same as the thickness of the bracket 110.

The luminaire 100 can be fixed by a user's fixing work on the cross or flat groove of the projection. When the fixing operation is completed, the bracket 110 and the horizontal frame come into close contact with each other, and the bracket 110 is fixed in a state in which it can not slide left and right. After the luminaire 100 is fixed, when the finishing materials 41 and 42 are processed, the luminaire construction is completed in the ceiling structure.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, the bracket 110 is shown to extend the length of the horizontal frame by a predetermined length. The bracket 110 is exposed to an outer region of the horizontal frame by a predetermined length exceeding in the lateral direction of the horizontal frame and the portion exposed to the outer region is referred to as a wing portion of the bracket 110. [ The wing portion of the bracket 110 extends over the left bar 21 and the right bar 22 so that the luminaire 110 is seated in the ceiling structure. At this time, the left side wing portion of the wing portion and the portion extending to the right side bar 22 will be referred to as the right wing portion.

Fig. 5 is an exemplary view for explaining the installation process of a luminaire, which is referred to in some embodiments of the present invention. Fig.

5, in the process of installing the lamp 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the right wing portion of the bracket 110 is straddled (401) to the right bar 22, and an external force is applied to the right bar Then, the lamp 100 is rotated in the direction of the ceiling with the right bar as a reference axis, and is embedded in the lamp mounting area (403). Next, after the luminaire 100 is left-right aligned, the luminaire is installed in the ceiling structure (405) as the bracket 110 is fixed by the fixing member 135. [

According to another embodiment of the present invention, in the process of installing the lamp 100, the bracket 110 can be slid in the left-right direction. That is, until the bracket 110 is fixed by the fixing member 135, the bracket 110 can be moved along the shape of the guide region 130, which is an opening portion.

In Fig. 5 (a), the case where the bracket 110 is slid to the right is shown as an example. Accordingly, the length of the right wing portion exposed to the outside of the transverse frame becomes longer than that of the left wing portion.

In Fig. 5 (b), the right wing portion extends over the right bar 22, and the luminaire is embedded in the luminaire installation area. As long as the bracket 110 is slid to the right, the length of the left wing exposed to the outside of the horizontal frame is minimized. Thus, when the luminaire 100 rotates in the ceiling direction with the right side bar as the reference axis in the ceiling direction and is buried in the luminaire installation area, the problem of the left side wing being caught on the left side bar 21 can be prevented.

 5 (c), when the bracket 110 is slid to the left along the guide region 130, the left wing portion can be extended over the left bar 21. [

Although the bracket 110 is stretched on the left bar 21 after the bracket 110 is first extended to the right bar 22 in the above description, The left wing portion of the bracket 110 may be first extended to the left bar 21 and the right wing portion of the bracket 110 may be extended to the right bar 22.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary view for explaining a sliding operation of the bracket according to the embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the sliding operation of the bracket 110 will be described again.

Referring to FIG. 6A, the bracket 110 can be slid (601) in the process that the left wing portion and the right wing portion are straddling the left bar 21 and the right bar 22, respectively. Alternatively, even after the left wing portion and the right wing portion have been spread over the left bar 21 and the right bar 22, respectively, the bracket 110 may be slid to the left and right.

Referring to FIG. 6B, as the fixing operation is applied to the fixing member 135 after the bracket 110 completes sliding (603), the bracket 110 is fixed to the lamp 100. At this time, in addition, a fixing member for fixing the bracket 110 to the left bar 21 and the right bar 22 may be applied to enhance the fixing property.

Although not shown, a supporting structure in which the left wing portion of the bracket 110 and the distal end portion of the right wing portion abut on the upper ends of the left bar 21 and the right bar 22 on which the wings of the bracket 110 are placed, . In this case, for the purpose of strengthening fixation, the distal end portions of the left wing portion and the right wing portion may be constituted by members having elasticity on the outer surface.

For example, after the distal end portion of the right wing portion abuts on the upper support structure of the right bar 22, the distal end portion of the right wing portion is pressed by the external force and can be reduced in volume. At this time, as the left wing portion is placed on the left bar 21, the distal end portion of the right wing portion is expanded again by the elastic force, and the volume can be restored. The distal end of the left wing portion can be brought into contact with the upper support structure of the left bar 21 while the distal end of the right wing portion is recovering blood. The wings of the distal end portion of the left wing portion and the wing portions of the right wing portion can be fixed in a pressed state while maintaining a predetermined elastic force on the upper support structure of the left bar 21 and the right bar 22, respectively. As a result, the luminaire 100 is fixed on the ceiling structure.

Figs. 7 and 8 are illustrations for explaining a bracket with improved ease of installation, which is referred to in another embodiment of the present invention. Fig.

Referring to FIG. 7, the guide region 130 of the bracket 110 may include a groove for fixing the bracket 110 by receiving the fixing member 135. 7A, the bracket 110 is slid in the left-right direction (701). When the sliding of the bracket 1110 in FIG. 7B is completed (703) 100 are moved downward. At this time, as the fixing member 135 is received in the fixing groove located at the lower end of the guide region 130, the bracket 110 can be fixed. In this case, even if the fixing member 135 is not fixed, the lighting fixture 100 is fixed, and the construction time of the lighting fixture 100 can be shortened. In FIG. 7, the case where the fixing groove is located at the stop of the guide region 130 is illustrated, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the position of the fixing groove may be changed. 8, the number of the fixing grooves may be plural.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the bracket 110 is slid in the left-right direction (801). At this time, a plurality of fixing grooves are formed at the lower end of the guide area 130. 8 (b), when the sliding of the bracket 1110 is completed (803), as the body of the lamp 100 is moved in the gravity direction, the fixing member 135 is moved to the lower end of the fixing member 135 As shown in Fig. At this time, in consideration of the distance from the bracket 110 to the left bar 21 and the right bar 22, and the length of the wing portion required for the bracket 110 to be seated in the ceiling structure, And the bracket 110 can be slid along the guide region 130 such that the fixing member 135 is positioned on the top of the selected fixing groove. When the sliding is completed, the body of the lamp 100 is lowered by gravity, and the fixing member 135 is inserted into the selected fixing groove, and the bracket 110 is fixed.
