Description

SPRING SYSTEM FOR FIXING THE LED MODULE INTO THE HOLDER

LAMPS

The subject of the invention is a spring system for attaching an LED module to the lamp housing, which is represented between a mounting assembly on one side and a lock for attaching a spring wire element on the other, a spring-mounted wire element which by its installation, shape and construction makes it easy to attach and replace LED module in lamp housing. The invention belongs to class F21V 19/00 of the international patent classification.

The technical problem that the present suspension system according to the invention successfully solves is the provision of easy insertion and attachment of the LED module into the lamp during assembly during production, as well as the replacement of the LED module in subsequent service operations.

High emitting diodes (LEDs) are mainly used as an alternative technology to conventional surface and room lighting systems such as halogen lights, fluorescent lights, high pressure lamps. Attaching an LED module to the luminaire is a particular challenge when manufacturing LED lights. We need to provide a very good thermal connection between the lamp housing, which also serves as the heat sink and the LED module. The most common fastening methods are bonding with double-sided thermally conductive adhesive tape or fastening with screws. In both cases, it is especially difficult to replace the LED module in the lamp, since we need additional tools and the process itself is time consuming. Also • ·

when gluing the LED module, there is a risk that the thermal junction may be weakened due to aging. The disadvantages of these mounting systems are successfully eliminated by the provided suspension system for mounting the LED module in the lamp housing according to the invention. The LED module can be easily and quickly replaced without tools, while achieving a good thermal connection between the LED module and the housing.

The spring mounting system for the LED module in the lamp housing according to the invention is designed from a spring wire element, a spring wire fastener assembly and a lock for attaching a spring wire element, the spring wire element being fixed to the fastening assembly with its two arms extending along the edges of the LED module and are finally secured in the slots at the lock to secure the spring wire element.

The invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of an embodiment and accompanying drawings, of which:

Fig. 1 is an axonometric view of an attached LED module with a suspension system according to the invention;

Figure 2 is an axonometric view of the LED module in the attachment phase of the spring system of the invention;

3 is an axonometric view of a portion of a fixed LED module with a spring system according to the invention.

The spring system for attaching the LED module to the lamp housing according to the invention is designed from the spring wire element 4 of the mounting assembly 2

spring wire element 4, lock 3 for attaching spring wire element 4, light housing and LED module 1, which may be of laminate, aluminum, ceramic or any other material and to which any number of LEDs 7 and optical elements are mounted.

In the assembly process, an LED module 1 is installed in the lamp and is mounted with one or more spring wire elements 4. The spring wire element 4 is U-shaped, with its base being fixed to the mounting assembly 2, both arms of the spring wire element. 4 extends along the edges of the LED module 1. Each arm of the spring wire element 4 has semi-circular fastening tabs 5 and finally a fastening loop 6 which, when the LED module 1 is fastened, is secured into the grooves on the lock 3 to secure the spring wire element 4. The number of semicircular fixing tabs 5 may be different depending on the dimension of LED module 1. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the spring wire element 4 is provided with two fixing tabs 5 on each of its arms.

By attaching the two arms of the spring wire element 4 by means of fixing loops 6 into the grooves made at the lock 3 for attaching the spring wire element 4, and especially due to the fastening tabs 5, a good thermal connection is achieved between the LED module 1 and the lamp housing, which enables better heat dissipation and thus longer life of the LEDs 7 in the LED module. In the process of changing the LED module 1, the spring wire element 4 is opened by pushing the retaining loop 6 out of the slots on the lock 3, removing the LED module 1 and replacing it with a new one.

LED Module 1. The spring wire element 4 is then locked into the grooves at the lock 3 by means of the retaining loops 6 to secure the spring wire element 4 and the process of changing the LED module 1 is completed.
