Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an LED flat light fixture having a thin frame,

The present invention relates to a light emitting diode flat panel luminaire used for indoor lighting in houses, buildings, and the like. More specifically, the present invention can improve not only convenience and efficiency of installation on a ceiling, but also tightness, To a surface emitting type flat panel luminaire.

Today, a variety of lighting fixtures are being used to provide light or illuminate objects in night or dark rooms. Especially, the lighting lamp that uses the light emitting diode (light emitting diode) as the light source has a lower power consumption than the incandescent lamp or the fluorescent lamp and saves the energy. In addition to the conventional light sources, the solid type point light source is robust, has a long life, In terms of characteristics, it is advantageous in terms of maintenance and the like.

However, an illumination light in the form of a simple combination of light emitting diodes emits optically clear monochromatic light, which causes uncomfortable glare and eye fatigue to the user. Therefore, when indirect lighting is used for direct illumination or indoors, A proper lens or a combination of the light guide plate is important.

In recent years, by appropriately maintaining the distance between the light emitting diode and the light guide plate for diffusing the light, the light of the point light source generated from the light emitting diode is converted into the light of the planar light source (light source having the light- LED flat panel luminaire has been developed in various forms, replacing existing fluorescent luminaire.

Such LED flat panel luminaire can generally be classified into edge-lighting type and direct-lighting type depending on the manner in which the light emitting diode is disposed and the direction in which the light is directly and emitted.

In the latter case, it is advantageous to make the product slim due to its relatively thin thickness, but it has disadvantages of reduced luminance and weight due to the light guide plate. In the latter case, when the thickness of the product is reduced, the LED dot (light emitting diode) There is a limit to the slimness because a separate space is required for using the SMPS.

In recent years, a product has been developed in which the power supply circuit is disposed on the same PCB as the light emitting diode (LED), and the thickness is reduced and the installation process is simplified. However, since the entire life of the power supply circuit is required, It has a tendency to maintain a long life characteristic and to require a thin-thickness side-emitting type product because it causes a result to reverse the long-life characteristic.

Examples of the conventional LED flat panel luminaire are disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1221196, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0035354, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0066014, Korean Patent Laid- -2011-0113701 and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1160816.

However, the LED flat panel luminaire uses a switching power supply (SMPS) that converts high-voltage alternating current into a low-voltage direct current due to the structural characteristics of the LED as a light source, A power supply unit (PSU) composed of a constant current circuit for supplying current is necessarily required.

Therefore, when the LED flat panel luminaire is installed on the ceiling, the PSU is fixed on the upper surface of the main body, and the rim of the main body is fixed to the ceiling with screws or the like while being embedded in the ceiling.

As described above, since the screw is fixed to the ceiling of the body of the LED flat panel luminaire, the mounting process of the flat panel luminaire is very troublesome and troublesome, and it takes much time and cost to work. There is a limit that the appearance of the aesthetic feeling is reduced due to the exposure of the screw hole.

Especially, when replacing old fluorescent lighting fixtures or aged or broken LED flat lighting fixtures, the screws that keep the body fixed on the ceiling are separated and removed, and then the replacement LED flat lighting fixture is brought into close contact with the ceiling The workability and efficiency are significantly lowered because the screws must be tightened with each other and fixed.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0447906 proposes a lighting device in which a bracket is first installed on a ceiling and a light emitting diode module is inserted and fixed to the ceiling. However, after the bracket is fixed to the ceiling with a screw, The diode module must be fixed with four bolts and nuts, and the hole must be punched through the ceiling with a hole of 200mm width. The PSU must be inserted into the ceiling so that the ceiling is closed with a single plywood. In the case of a house, the installation process is complicated and uncomfortable as well as the operation time is long because the ceiling must be damaged.
