Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an LED lighting fixture assembly, and more specifically, to a ceiling-mounted LED lighting fixture assembly in which no step difference occurs between the frame and the steel plate member when the frame and the steel plate member are connected to each other, the upper surface of the lighting fixture is flat so that the steel plate member is in close contact with the ceiling with a minimized gap, preventing the accumulation of various dust or dead insects on the lighting fixture, eliminating the inconvenience of fastening or unfastening bolt members using a separate tool, and preventing the frame and the steel plate member from separating from each other because the frame and the steel plate member are firmly connected to each other through a plurality of connecting units. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, a room light, which is a lighting fixture installed on the ceiling of a home or office, comprises a lighting fixture body installed on the ceiling of a living room or room, a lighting unit connected to and fixed to a lamp socket mounted in the inner space of the lighting fixture body, a frame on which the lighting fixture body is seated, and a diffuser plate fitted into the frame.

[0003] At this time, the light from the lighting unit illuminates the room through a diffuser plate, and this diffuser plate is made of off-white glass or synthetic resin material to evenly diffuse the light from the lighting unit into the room while preventing glare or concentration of the light source.

[0004] In addition, the main body of the light fixture is equipped with an LED, a socket, a ballast, etc., so when the light is turned on with the diffuser plate attached, the light unit is turned on and the light is evenly diffused throughout the room or indoor space by the diffuser plate.

[0005] Lighting fixtures using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) as a light source consume less power compared to incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent lamps, offering energy savings. In addition, they are robust, have a long lifespan, and provide advantages in terms of maintenance.

[0006] FIG. 1 is a perspective view and a partial enlarged view showing an example of a room light, which is a lighting fixture installed on the ceiling of a conventional home or office. Referring to the figure, a lighting fixture body (10) is fixed to the ceiling through a separate fastening means not shown, and the LED, socket, ballast, etc., are each provided on the inside of the lighting fixture body (10), and the lighting fixture body (10) is seated on a frame (20).

[0007] The frame (20) is used to support the diffuser plate (22) and is typically made of aluminum. It is assembled into a square shape after drilling holes in each end, i.e., the corners, of the four side frames. The diffuser plate (22) is fixed in the drilled holes by a separate fixing cap, or the ends of the frame are joined through a separate corner member to form a roughly square shape.

[0008] Meanwhile, a base member (30) having a roughly 'C'-shaped cross-section is attached by a piece (32) to both edges of the frame (20), so that a part of the catch piece (34) is stored in the space (S) between the frame (20) and the base member (30), and one end of the catch piece (34) is pivotally connected to the inside of the base member (30) so that it can rotate, and an extension part (36) for holding and rotating by hand is integrally installed at the other end of the catch piece (34), so that when the lighting fixture body (10) is seated on the frame (20) and the extension part (36) of the catch piece (34) is held and rotated approximately 90° counterclockwise from the base member (30), the one end of the catch piece (34) that was originally stored parallel to the base member (30) inside the base member (30) is separated from the space (S) and holds both edges of the lighting fixture body (10). The connection between the frame (20) and the lighting fixture body (10) is maintained.

[0009] Meanwhile, KS certification is a voluntary certification for quality and standard specifications, and as long as a wire is attached to a steel plate without using a separate tool, such as a screwdriver, and the lighting fixture remains suspended from the ceiling by this wire even if it falls from the ceiling, there is no problem.

[0010] However, KC certification is a mandatory certification primarily for consumer safety, and production and distribution are impossible without the KC certification mark; it mainly applies to electrical appliances, household goods, and children's products. Accordingly, when referring to lighting fixtures, the cover must be removed after releasing the connecting device using a separate tool. Although most existing lighting fixtures recommend attaching or detaching multiple bolt members on each of the four sides using a screwdriver, the reality is that most installers do not use this method.

[0011] In other words, lighting fixture manufacturers obtain KC certification by installing bolt components; however, when selling the lighting fixtures, they do not install the bolts on the fixtures but instead place the bolt components in a separate container (e.g., a plastic bag) and ship them to the consumers. The consumers then receive this and use a separate tool to attach the bolt components to the lighting fixtures for use (DIY type).

[0012] Meanwhile, when using a conventional lighting fixture, dust or the carcasses of flying insects may accumulate on the step between the metal plate at the top of the light and the side cover due to the step. Although it is relatively easy to install bolt components through the aforementioned step of this type of lighting fixture, as mentioned above, there is an inconvenience for the consumer in having to use a separate tool to fasten or detach the bolt components through the step.

[0013] Accordingly, recently, so-called 'ceiling-mounted' lighting fixtures, in which the lighting fixture is attached to the ceiling, have been gaining popularity. Unlike conventional lighting fixtures, the above-mentioned ceiling-mounted lighting fixture has a flat upper surface without a step difference between the upper metal plate and the side cover, and the metal plate is attached to the ceiling with the gap minimized. Since it is difficult to use the above-mentioned tool or fasten bolt members with such a ceiling-mounted lighting fixture, a separate safety device is required to prevent the frame (20) described in FIG. 1 from separating from the metal plate provided on the top of the lighting fixture body (10) by connecting the metal plate and the cover of the lighting fixture.

[0044] Additionally, FIG. 10 is a side view showing a connecting member according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, a ceiling-mounted lighting assembly (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a frame (110), a steel plate member (120), and a connecting unit (130).

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame (110) is in the shape of a square frame and is composed of synthetic resins of different materials, and is formed by double injection or double extrusion to combine them as a single unit.

[0046] Additionally, the frame (110) is formed integrally by double injection or double extrusion in a state where a plurality of opaque parts (114) and translucent parts (116) are alternately stacked on the side, thereby diffusing the light from a light source installed on the inside to the sides of the frame.

[0047] The translucent part (116) can produce colorful lighting by using a translucent synthetic resin with a gradation so that the light from the light source can diffuse softly outward, or by adding various colors, and can produce even more diverse lighting by molding with variations in the number and width of the translucent part (116) and the pattern of cross-layering.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a steel plate member (120) is placed on a seating portion (112) with a roughly 'L'-shaped cross-section formed along the inner upper circumference of a frame (110) to seal the interior of a lighting assembly in which a light source is installed, and an LED module (not shown) is provided on the steel plate member (120), and a square-shaped protrusion (124) is integrally formed protruding at a predetermined height inside a square-shaped rim portion (122) with curved corners.

[0049] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, the connecting unit (130) includes a body (132) and a screw member (134) that is optionally coupled to the body. The body (132) is made of steel material with a relatively thin thickness (about 0.2 to 0.4 millimeters, more preferably 0.3 millimeters) and is installed in a manner that connects the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) to each other.

[0050] In this body (132), a first extension part (132b) in the shape of a roughly flat plate is integrally formed at one end of a base part (132a) that is bent into a 'C' cross-section, and a second extension part (132c) in the shape of an 'L' cross-section is integrally formed at the other end of the base part (132a).

[0051] In addition, a screw hole (132d) for a screw member (134) to pass through is formed in each of the base part (132a), the first extension part (132b), and the second extension part (132c), and unexplained reference numeral 140 in FIG. 8 is a diffuser plate.

[0052] In the present invention, a total of three screw holes (132d) are formed, and the screw hole (132d) provided in the base part (132a) and the screw hole (132d) provided in the first extension part (132b) are fastened by selecting only one part corresponding to the shape of the steel plate member (120), and the screw hole (132d) provided in the second extension part (132c) is fastened to the frame (110) through the screw member (134).

[0053] When the present invention having the above configuration is sold by a lighting fixture manufacturer that has received KC certification, a plastic bag containing a frame (110), a steel plate member (120), and a plurality of connecting units (130) is placed inside a paper box and sent to a consumer, after the consumer receives it, the first extension part (132b) of the connecting unit (130) is attached to the edge part (122) of the steel plate member (120) using a simple tool such as a screwdriver and connected using a screw member (134), and the first extension part (132b) of the connecting unit (130) is attached to the edge part (122) of the steel plate member (120) and fastened using a screw member (134), and the second extension part (132c) of the connecting unit (130) is attached to the frame (110) and fastened using a screw member (134).

[0054] According to the present invention, in the above process, the body (132) of the connecting unit (130) connecting the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) has a relatively thin thickness (about 0.2 to 0.4 millimeters) as described above. Therefore, when the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) are connected to each other, unlike a conventional lighting fixture, no step difference occurs between the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120), and the upper surface of the lighting fixture is flat, so that the steel plate member (120) can be closely attached to the ceiling with the gap minimized.

[0055] Accordingly, the accumulation of various dust or dead insects on the lighting fixture is prevented, and the inconvenience of using separate tools to fasten or detach bolt components is eliminated.

[0056] In addition, since the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) are firmly connected to each other through a plurality of connecting units (130), the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) are prevented from being separated from each other.

[0057] Meanwhile, FIG. 9 is a side view showing a connecting member according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a side view showing a connecting member according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9, the connecting unit (230) includes a body (232) and a screw member (not shown; see 134 in FIG. 3) that is optionally coupled to the body. The body (232) is made of steel material with a thickness of about 0.3 mm and is installed in a form that connects the aforementioned frame (110) and steel plate member (120) to each other.

[0058] In this body (232), a first extension part (232b) in the shape of a roughly flat plate is integrally formed at one end of the base part (232a), and a second extension part (232c) in the shape of an L-shape is integrally formed at the other end of the base part (232a).

[0059] Additionally, a screw hole (232d) for a screw member (134) to pass through is formed in each of the base portion (232a), the first extension portion (232b), and the second extension portion (232c). At this time, the base portion (232a) and the first extension portion (232b) have an angle of inclination (indicated as A1) relative to each other.

[0060] This is useful for applying to a lighting fixture where the gap between the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) is relatively narrow, and for using the elasticity of the body (232) to tightly connect the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) to each other during the process of fastening the screw member (134) to the second extension part (232c).

[0061] Referring to FIG. 10, the connecting unit (330) includes a body (332) and a screw member (see 134 in FIG. 3) that is optionally coupled to the body. The body (332) is made of steel material with a thickness of about 0.3 mm and is installed in a manner that connects the aforementioned frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) to each other.

[0062] In this body (332), a first extension part (332b) in the shape of a roughly flat plate is integrally formed at one end of the base part (332a), and a second extension part (332c) in the shape of an L-shape is integrally formed at the other end of the base part (332a).

[0063] Additionally, a screw hole (332d) for a screw member (134) to pass through is formed in each of the base portion (332a), the first extension portion (332b), and the second extension portion (332c). At this time, the base portion (332a) and the first extension portion (332b) have an obtuse angle (indicated by A2) relative to each other.

[0064] This is useful for connecting the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) more loosely during the process of fastening the screw member (134) to the second extension part (332c) by applying it to a lighting fixture where the gap between the frame (110) and the steel plate member (120) is relatively wide.

[0065] Although the ceiling-mounted LED lighting fixture assembly according to the present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated drawings, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed in this specification, and it is understood that various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical concept of the invention.
