Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to optical semiconductor based tubular lighting devices, and more particularly, to optical semiconductor based tubular lighting devices comprising an improved coupling structure between an end cap and a tubular structure.
Fluorescent and incandescent lamps have been widely used as light sources for illumination. Incandescent lamps have high power consumption and are less efficient and economical, and for this reason, their demand is decreasing. This decline is expected to continue in the future. On the other hand, fluorescent lamps are more efficient and economical at about one-third of the power consumption of incandescent lamps. However, the fluorescent lamp has a problem that the blackening phenomenon proceeds due to a high applied voltage and the lifetime is short. In addition, since the fluorescent lamp uses a vacuum glass tube in which mercury, which is a harmful heavy metal material, is injected together with argon gas, there is a disadvantage of being unfriendly to the environment.
In recent years, the demand for lighting devices based on semiconductor optical devices such as LEDs is rapidly increasing. Semiconductor optical devices, especially LEDs, have long life, low power drive advantages and are environmentally friendly because they do not use environmentally harmful substances such as mercury.
Conventionally, an optical semiconductor-based tubular lighting device including a structure similar to a fluorescent lamp has been developed.
This conventional tubular lighting device comprises an elongated tube structure having a hollow, in which the semiconductor optical elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction. An end cap is coupled to the end of the tubular structure to block the hollow of the tubular structure. In general, an end cap is provided with pin-shaped terminals, and the terminals are electrically connected to a printed circuit board on which semiconductor optical devices are mounted.
In addition, the conventional optical semiconductor based tubular illumination device forms the aforementioned tubular structure by the combination of a heat sink and a transparent plastic cover. Conventionally, in order to couple the end cap to the tubular structure, a screw that is fastened to the heat sink of the tubular structure through the end cap is widely used. However, the end cap fastening structure by the screw has a problem of degrading the assembly of the lighting device, the appearance of the screw due to the presence of the screw.
In addition, the conventional optical semiconductor-based tubular lighting device for connecting the
Accordingly, one problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an optical semiconductor-based tubular lighting device that can be reliably coupled to the tube structure without a separate fastening mechanism such as a screw.
In addition, another problem to be solved by the present invention is that the end cap can be reliably coupled to the tubular structure without a separate fastening mechanism, such as a screw, only by coupling, the connector terminal and the printed circuit board located in the end cap is electrically connected. It is to provide an optical semiconductor-based tubular lighting device.
According to one aspect of the present invention, an optical semiconductor-based tubular lighting device includes: a tubular structure having at least partially light transmitting property; A plurality of semiconductor optical elements disposed in the tube structure along a longitudinal direction; An end cap coupled to block at least one end of the tubular structure; A first engagement portion formed on an outer circumferential surface near an end of the tubular structure; And a second engagement portion formed in the end cap to engage the first engagement.
According to an embodiment, the first engagement portion may include a plurality of engagement holes formed in the outer circumferential surface of the tubular structure, and the second engagement portion may include a plurality of engagement protrusions formed in the inner circumferential surface of the end cap. The engagement holes may be through holes, alternatively, they may be blocked holes.
According to one embodiment, each of the engaging projections may include a tapered surface that is gradually lowered toward the engagement direction with respect to the tubular structure.
According to one embodiment, the tubular structure includes a heat sink and a translucent plastic cover coupled to the heat sink, wherein at least one of the engagement protrusions may be formed in the translucent plastic cover.
According to one embodiment, the optical semiconductor based tubular lighting device, when inserting and coupling the end cap and the tube structure, the end cap or the tube to the position where the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion mesh with each other. It may further comprise a guide means for guiding the structure.
According to one embodiment, the guide means may include a guide protrusion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the end cap, and a guide groove formed on the outer circumferential surface of the tubular structure.
In example embodiments, a printed circuit board may be mounted on the heat sink, and the plurality of semiconductor optical devices may be mounted on the printed circuit board.
According to one embodiment, the optical semiconductor-based lighting device further comprises a connector provided inside the end cap, the connector is detachably electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The connector is provided with a pair of connection supporting portions formed inside the end cap and one of the connection supporting portions of the pair of connection supporting portions, and a connector having a leaf spring structure defining a connection groove between the other connection supporting portions. And a terminal, wherein the terminal portion on the printed circuit board contacts the contact portion of the connector terminal when the printed circuit board is inserted into the connection groove.
The optical semiconductor based tubular lighting device according to the present invention has the advantage that the tubular structure and the end cap can be reliably coupled to each other without a separate fastening mechanism such as a screw. In addition, the present invention provides the advantage of easy operation of coupling the end cap to the tubular structure.
