APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING AN LED MODULE TO A LIGHTING APPARATUS

The present invention relates to an LED module mounting apparatus that can easily mount an LED module to a previously installed lighting apparatus without replacing various lighting apparatuses installed inside the building. More particularly, To an LED module mounting apparatus which can freely move the position of the LED module and is easy to install and replace.

Generally, lighting fixtures are installed in various buildings such as houses, offices, factories, and the like. Such a lighting apparatus is mainly used as a light source such as a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lamp, but recently it has a longer lifetime than a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lamp, and since electric energy is directly converted into light energy, And is rapidly replacing the LED light source.

Despite these advantages, however, there are many limitations to installing LED lighting fixtures in buildings by replacing fluorescent or halogen lighting fixtures. In other words, the LED lighting fixture can not be mounted on a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lighting fixture installed in a building due to its structural characteristics, because an LED module having a structural difference from a fluorescent lamp or a halogen is used as a light source.

Accordingly, in order to install the LED lighting fixtures on the building, it is necessary not only to separately manufacture the lighting fixtures corresponding to the structure of the LED module having the plate-shaped structure but also to install the fluorescent lamps or halogen lighting fixtures And thus, problems such as waste of resources, replacement cost, and replacement time are required.

In order to solve such a problem, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0480183 and Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2016-0008127 disclose a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lighting apparatus installed in a ceiling of a building without removing the fluorescent lamp or halogen There has been proposed an LED module fixing device capable of easily mounting an LED module to a lamp or a mechanism of a lighting apparatus.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0008127 proposes a fixing device comprising a panel having a plurality of ribs, a round columnar support and an inner hole integrally formed thereon, and a fixing member Features a magnetic bolt; The LED module is fixed to a conventional fluorescent lamp device including a converter having a converter latching ring.

However, in Korean Utility Model No. 20-0480183 and Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2016-0008127, it is possible to install the LED module without removing the existing lighting device. However, in a state where the LED module is mounted on the lighting device, The mounting position of the module could not be freely moved, which made installation and replacement inconvenient. In particular, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0008127 has a problem in that it is complicated in the installation work because of a complicated structure of the fixing device, and thus it is applied to a lighting apparatus having various structures and shapes.
