The attachment / detachment between the cover 30 and the main body 10 will be described later in detail.

3 and 4, the PCB 20 is held in contact with the upper surface of the side wall of the main body 10 so as to form a space between the cover 30 and the cover 30,

The cover 30 includes a plurality of radiating holes 33 disposed at positions facing each other so that the inside and the outside of the main body 10 communicate with each other.

Since the spacing space is formed between the cover 20 and the cover 30, the space above the cover 20 in the main body 10 can communicate with each other,

Since the heat dissipation holes 33 are provided at the positions facing each other in the cover 30, the heat radiated from the PCB 20 is naturally convected through the spacing space and the heat dissipation holes 33, So that the heat radiation effect is obtained.

3, when two pairs of the heat dissipation holes 33 positioned on the front and rear sides of the cover 30 are arranged on the right and left sides of the cover 30,

6, when the LED module according to the present invention is installed in the advertisement signboard S, the heat radiation holes 33 correspond to the convection direction (lower side to upper side) of the air due to heat generation So that the heat radiation function through air convection can be increased.

In the drawings of the present specification, three LEDs 21 are arranged in a line on the substrate 22 of the PCB 20, and therefore, four heat dissipation holes 33 are provided at positions opposed to each other However,

This may vary depending on the position of the LED 21, the shape of the PCB 22 (including the main body 10), and the like. Therefore, the concept of the plurality of heat dissipation holes 33 provided at positions facing each other in this specification Not only the structural design of the heat discharging holes 33 shown in the figure but also the structure around the rim of the cover 30 or the cover 30 according to the structural design of the heat discharging holes 33, (For example, when five LEDs are arranged in a row on the PCB 20), a plurality of LEDs 33 are arranged on the LED 20, A pair of the radiating holes 33 provided at the front and rear ends of the cover may be arranged at four places in the right and left directions or a place where the covers 30 are arranged at the centers of the front and rear left and right ends respectively, (20) If the form or a plurality of louvers (33) provided radially along the rim of the cover 30, form a plurality of louvers (33) which is provided centrally in the direction in which the rim radially disposed, and so on),

This can be sufficiently predicted and reproduced by a person skilled in the art (hereinafter referred to as a person skilled in the art), and the interpretation of the right of the present invention should not be construed as limited by the drawings.

Next, the main body 10 of the present invention comprises protrusions 13 protruding from the upper surface of a part of the side wall 12. As shown in Fig.

The concept that the protruding portion 13 is provided on the upper surface of a part of the side wall is a concept that the protruding portion 13 is provided on a part of the top, rear, left and right side walls 12 surrounding the accommodating portion 11, 12B are provided with protrusions 13 on the upper surface thereof.

The LED 21 and the various elements 23 protruding upward from the PCB 20 embedded in the receiving portion 11 of the main body 10 by the protruding portion 13 are positioned at a position higher than the uppermost height of the side wall 12 By being coupled to the lower side,

When the main body 10 is turned upside down and another operation is performed (for example, a process of attaching a double-sided tape to the underside of the main body 10), the LEDs 21 and the elements 23, The operator can easily and quickly carry out the work without fear of damage or breakage of the PCB 20.

This is because the LED module can not be stably maintained by the shape of the refracting portion 32 when the LED module in which the cover 30 and the main body 10 are assembled is turned upside down. (Diffusing and focusing) function of the light is generated by generating gas or the like on the outer surface of the dome-shaped refracting portion 32 when the main body 10 is turned upside down while being assembled with the main body 10, .

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to complete the LED module by assembling the cover 30 after performing another process before assembling the cover 30 to the main body 10, thereby improving the convenience of manufacture.

In the LED module according to the present invention, the cover 30 and the main body 10 are detachably attached to each other.

3, the cover 30 includes a hook projection 36 projecting in a direction of engagement with the main body 10 and having a protrusion 36A protruding inward at an end thereof, The side wall 12 of the main body 10 includes the hook groove 16 having the corresponding step 16A in the form of an outer step so as to be engaged with the protrusion 36A,

The hook protrusion 16 and the hook groove 16 are engaged with each other while being hooked together so that the cover 30 can be easily attached and detached.

It is preferable that a plurality of the hook protrusions 16 are provided along the rim of the cover 30 in order to assure a firm binding force between the cover 30 and the main body 10 and to assure ease of detachment. A pair of hook protrusions 16 are provided on the front and rear edges of the main body 10 and the hook grooves 16 are provided on the front and rear side walls 12A of the main body 10 so as to correspond to the hook protrusions 16, .
