Description

Frame of lamps

This creation is about a luminaire, and in particular relates to the framework of a luminaire.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) has been widely used in the field of backlighting and illumination because of its low power consumption and high efficiency.

In the field of lighting, light-emitting diode lamps have gradually replaced traditional fluorescent lamps. In general, a light-emitting diode lamp can include a frame, an optical diffuser, and a light-emitting diode light bar. The frame is usually formed by connecting four aluminum extruded frame strips. The light bar can span two opposing aluminum extruded strips such that the light emitting diodes on the light strip can be directly illuminated toward the outside environment. The aluminum extruded frame strip has a quadrangular appearance, and the inner wall thereof may have a groove to engage the optical diffuser.

The above-mentioned light-emitting diode lamp is generally called a direct-light type light-emitting lamp. In addition to the direct-lit light illumination method, some of the lamps are equipped with a side-in type light-emitting method to install a light-emitting diode light bar. In general, side-lit light fixtures provide light-emitting diode luminaires in the frame of the frame to provide sidelight. However, since the aluminum extruded frame strip of the direct-type luminaire is a closed quadrilateral, it is difficult to put the light-emitting diode light strip therein, even if the light-emitting diode light strip is placed in the light-emitting diode light strip, the light-emitting diode It will also be covered by the inner wall of the extruded aluminum strip to prevent light from penetrating.

Therefore, the direct-into-light luminaire and the side-entry luminaire cannot use the same frame, which not only limits the scope of application of the frame, but also causes Cause the burden on the original.

In view of this, the present invention provides a frame for a luminaire, which can be applied not only to a direct-lighting luminaire, but also to a side-entry illuminating luminaire, thereby overcoming the problem of insufficient application range encountered in the prior art. .

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a frame of a luminaire may include a plurality of frames and at least one connector. Each of the frames includes a backing plate and a plurality of side panels. The side plates are respectively connected to opposite sides of the back plate, and the side plates and the back plate together form a groove. The connector connects the frames into a frame.

With the above embodiment, each frame of the frame has a recess. When the frame is applied to a direct-lighting luminaire, the recess of the frame can accommodate a fixed structure for fixing the optical diffuser. When the frame is applied to a side-into-light luminaire, the recess of the frame is Can accommodate light bars. Therefore, the framework of the present embodiment can be applied not only to a direct-lighting luminaire, but also to a side-in-light luminaire, which greatly enhances the applicability of the frame.
