Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting device technology, and more particularly to a light source. Background Technology

[0002] An industrial vision system is an image recognition machine used for automated inspection, workpiece processing and assembly automation, as well as the control and monitoring of production processes. It includes components such as industrial cameras, industrial lenses, light sources, light source controllers, and cables. Choosing a suitable light source is crucial for the proper functioning of the industrial vision system. Currently, LED light sources offer the best overall performance among commonly used light sources.

[0003] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of an existing LED light source. Figure 2 The diagram shows the external structure of an existing LED light source, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the LED light source includes a light source assembly for generating light, and a housing assembly that covers the outside of the light source assembly for protection. The housing assembly includes a platform 1, a light-transmitting plate 2, side plates 3 fixed to both sides of the light source by multiple screws, and end plates 4 fixed to both ends of the light source by multiple screws. The light source assembly includes a circuit board 5 fixed to the platform 1 by multiple screws, and a focusing glass rod 6 located above the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 includes several module boards 51, each module board 51 including an aluminum substrate and LED particles thereon, and each module board 51 is fixed to the platform 1 by screws. Furthermore, the light-transmitting plate 2 is located above the focusing glass rod 6, and the light emitted by the LED particles can be emitted into the external environment after passing through the focusing glass rod 6 and the light-transmitting plate 2.

[0004] In the aforementioned LED light source, the housing assembly and the light source assembly form an inner and outer enclosed structure. The module board is fixedly installed in the innermost layer of the LED light source. If maintenance of the module board inside the light source is required, technicians typically need to follow these procedures: Figure 3 As shown in Figure (a), first prepare the light source; then as... Figure 3 As shown in Figure (b), remove the end plate; then, as shown in Figure (c), lay the light source flat; then, as shown in Figure (d), remove one side plate of the light source; then, as shown in Figure (e), remove the light-transmitting plate and the focusing glass rod 6; as shown in Figure (f), remove the other side plate of the light source; as shown in Figure (g), place the light source vertically; as shown in Figure (h), remove the old module plate; as shown in Figure (i), install the new module plate; as shown in Figure (g), install the side plate for the light source.

[0005] As described in the above process, the maintenance of existing light source module boards is cumbersome and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency. In particular, the LED chips on the module boards are easily damaged due to factors such as voltage and current, making them vulnerable components that frequently require replacement. The cumbersome maintenance of these components leads to a significant workload for repair personnel and may even affect the subsequent use of the light source. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a light source to solve the problems of cumbersome operation, long time consumption and low efficiency when inspecting and maintaining the module board in the existing light source.

[0007] This application provides a light source, including:

[0008] A housing assembly and a light source assembly, the housing assembly including a platform 1 for placing the light source assembly, the light source assembly including at least one module board 51;

[0009] The module board 51 is mounted on the platform 1 via a detachable limiting structure;

[0010] The housing assembly also includes a first side plate 100 disposed on one side of the light source assembly, the first side plate 100 including at least two removable protective covers 110.

[0011] In one feasible implementation, the housing assembly further includes a second side plate 300 disposed on the other side of the light source assembly, and the limiting structure includes at least one detachable first quick-release member 210. The first quick-release member 210 is detachably connected to the platform 1 on the first side. The first quick-release member 210 is used to limit the module plate 51 between the second side plate 300 and the first quick-release member 210 by cooperating with the second side plate 300. The first side is the side where the first side plate 100 is located.

[0012] And / or,

[0013] The limiting structure includes at least one detachable second quick-release member 230, which is detachably connected to the platform 1 on the first side. The second quick-release member 230 is used to limit the module plate 51 onto the platform 1 by applying a force toward the platform 1 to the module plate 51.

[0014] In one feasible implementation, the position where the first quick-release piece 210 abuts against the module plate 51 is the first position, the position where the second side plate 300 abuts against the module plate 51 is the second position, and the horizontal distance between the first position and the second position matches the width of the module plate 51.

[0015] In one feasible implementation, the light source assembly further includes a focusing glass rod 6;

[0016] The first quick-release component 210 includes a fixing plate 211 and a support plate 212, wherein the fixing plate 211 and the support plate 212 are L-shaped;

[0017] The fixing plate 211 is arranged parallel to the side wall of the platform 1. The fixing plate 211 has an arc-shaped groove 213 at the position corresponding to the focusing glass rod 6. The groove 213 is used to hold the focusing glass rod 6.

[0018] The fixing plate 211 is provided with a screw hole at the position corresponding to the platform 1, and the screw hole is used to connect to the platform by screws;

[0019] The support plate 212 is placed on the lower surface of the platform 1 and is used to support the fixed plate 21.

[0020] In one feasible implementation, if the first quick-release component 210 includes at least two, the at least two first quick-release components 210 are arranged sequentially along the long axis of the module plate 51, and the distance between two adjacent first quick-release components 210 is a first preset spacing.

[0021] In one feasible implementation, the first preset spacing is within a first distance range, the minimum value of the first distance range is half the length of the module board 51, and the maximum value of the first distance range is twice the length of the module board 51.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the second quick-release component 230 includes a vertical plate 231 and a horizontal plate 232;

[0023] The vertical plate 231 is in contact with the side wall of the platform 1 in the vertical direction;

[0024] The module plate 51 is located between the horizontal plate 232 and the platform 1. The horizontal plate 232 is used to limit the position of the module plate 51 on the platform 1 by applying a force toward the platform 1 to the module plate 51.

[0025] In one feasible implementation, if the second quick-release component 230 includes at least two, the at least two second quick-release components 230 are arranged sequentially along the long axis of the module plate 51, and the distance between two adjacent second quick-release components 230 is a second preset spacing.

[0026] The second preset spacing is within a second distance range, where the minimum value of the second distance range is half the length of the module board 51, and the maximum value of the second distance range is twice the length of the module board 51.

[0027] In one feasible implementation, the light source assembly further includes a focusing glass rod 6, and the at least two removable protective covers 110 include:

[0028] A first protective cover is disposed at the position corresponding to the focusing glass rod 6, and the first protective cover is used to protect the focusing glass rod 6 and the module plate 51.

[0029] A second protective cover is disposed at the position corresponding to the module plate 51, and the second protective cover is used to protect other areas of the light source.

[0030] In one feasible implementation, the housing assembly further includes a light-transmitting plate and a pad, the light-transmitting plate being disposed on the first quick-release member 210 via the pad.

[0031] This application provides a light source, which includes a housing assembly and a light source assembly. A module board in the light source assembly is mounted on a platform included in the housing assembly via a detachable limiting structure. The housing assembly includes a first side plate disposed on one side of the light source assembly, and the first side plate includes at least two detachable protective covers.

[0032] In the process of inspecting and maintaining the module board in the light source provided in this application, the protective cover in the first side plate is first removed from the light source. Then, the limiting structure is removed from the side where the first side plate is located, allowing the module board to be removed from the light source. The new module board is then installed on the platform using the limiting structure, and finally, the protective cover is installed, thus completing the inspection and maintenance of the module board. In this process, only the protective cover of the first side plate needs to be removed and installed, meaning only one side plate needs to be removed and installed. Furthermore, since the module board is mounted on the platform via the limiting structure, it is relatively easy to remove and install. In contrast, in traditional light sources, the inspection and maintenance of both side plates requires removal and installation, and the module board is not easily removed and installed from the platform. Therefore, compared to traditional light sources, the process for inspecting and maintaining the module board in the light source of this application is simplified, reducing the time and labor required for inspection and maintenance, and improving the efficiency of inspection and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] The terminology used in the following embodiments is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to also include expressions such as “one or more,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of this application, “at least one” and “one or more” refer to one, two, or more than two. The term “and / or” is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist; for example, A and / or B can indicate: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character “ / ” generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an “or” relationship.

[0049] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0050] To address the issues of cumbersome processes, long processing times, and low efficiency in the maintenance and repair of module boards in existing light sources, this application provides a light source through the following embodiments.

[0051] See Figure 4 The schematic diagram shown illustrates that the light source provided in this embodiment includes a housing assembly and a light source assembly. The housing assembly includes a platform 1 for placing the light source assembly, which supports a module board 51. The light source assembly includes at least one module board 51. If the light source is an LED light source, typically each module board includes an aluminum substrate and LED chips thereon.

[0052] In one feasible design, platform 1 includes a heat dissipation platform, which comprises an upper platform, a lower platform, and side walls on both sides, wherein the width of the lower platform is greater than the width of the upper platform. This heat dissipation platform can dissipate the heat generated when the LED chips emit light to the external environment, thereby ensuring the normal temperature of the module board and the inside of the light source.

[0053] Of course, other structures can be selected for platform 1, as long as platform 1 can support the light source components, and no specific limitations will be made here.

[0054] The module plate 51 is mounted on the platform 1 via a detachable limiting structure. If the module plate 51 needs to be removed from the light source, the limiting structure can be detached from the platform 1. In this case, the module plate 51 is no longer restricted by the limiting structure and can be removed from the side where the limiting structure is located. Alternatively, if the module plate 51 needs to be installed in the light source, it is placed on the platform 1, and then the limiting structure is installed on the platform 1. In this case, the module plate 51 is fixed to the platform 1 by the limiting structure.

[0055] See Figure 5 The schematic diagram shown illustrates that, in the light source provided in this application embodiment, the housing assembly further includes a first side plate 100 disposed on one side of the light source assembly, and the first side plate 100 includes at least two detachable protective covers 110.

[0056] In this application, the light source assembly may further include a focusing glass rod. In one feasible design, at least two removable protective covers include: a first protective cover and a second protective cover. The first protective cover is positioned corresponding to the focusing glass rod and the module plate, serving to protect the focusing glass rod and the module plate; the second protective cover is positioned below the first protective cover, serving to protect other areas of the light source. Figure 5 In the diagram, the upper protective shield is the first protective shield, and the lower protective shield is the second protective shield.

[0057] Additionally, in one feasible design, the first side panel 100 includes at least two removable protective covers that can be arranged vertically, for example... Figure 5 The structure shown. Alternatively, in another feasible design, the at least two removable protective covers included in the first side plate 100 may also be arranged in the horizontal direction, which is not limited in this application.

[0058] Since the first side panel 100 includes at least two removable protective covers, when the module board 51 needs to be inspected and maintained, the protective covers of the first side panel can be removed, and then the module board 51 can be taken out from the side where the first side panel 100 is located.

[0059] Furthermore, in the light source provided in the embodiments of this application, the housing assembly also includes a second side plate disposed on the other side of the light source assembly, that is, the first side plate and the second side plate are respectively covered on both sides of the light source assembly to protect the internal light source assembly.

[0060] The second side panel can have the same structure as the first side panel, meaning it can consist of at least two detachably connected protective covers. In this case, if maintenance of the module board 51 is required, the protective covers included in the second side panel can be removed. Alternatively, as... Figure 6 As shown, the second side plate 300 can also be an integrated structure, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0061] To clarify the advantages of the light source provided in this application, the following describes the process of inspecting and maintaining the module board inside the light source, based on the structure of the light source provided in this application.

[0062] See Figure 7 The schematic diagram shows that if maintenance is required on the module board inside the light source provided in this application, technicians typically need to follow the procedures outlined below: Figure 7 As shown in Figure (a), first prepare the light source; then as... Figure 7 As shown in Figure (b), remove the protective cover of the first side panel; and then... Figure 7 As shown in Figure (c), locate the first and second quick-release components corresponding to the module board to be repaired, and remove the corresponding first and second quick-release components; as shown in Figure (d), pull the module board to be repaired out of the installation position; as shown in Figure (e), place the repaired module board or a new module board back to its original position; as shown in Figure (f), reinstall the first and second quick-release components; as shown in Figure (g), restore the protective cover 220 to complete this repair and maintenance.

[0063] according to Figure 3 As can be seen from the above description of the process for inspecting and maintaining existing light sources, when inspecting and maintaining existing light sources, it is necessary to remove the side plates on both sides of the light source and the end plate of the light source, and then remove the module plate that is fixed to the platform with screws before the module plate can be taken out and inspected and maintained. After the inspected module plate or the new module plate is put back into the light source, it is also necessary to fix the module plate to the platform with screws and install the side plates on both sides of the light source.

[0064] As described above in the process description of the maintenance of the module board in the light source provided in this application, when maintaining the light source of this application, firstly, the protective cover in the first side plate is removed from the light source. Then, the limiting structure is removed from the side where the first side plate is located, allowing the module board to be removed from the light source. The new module board is then installed on the platform using the limiting structure, and finally, the protective cover is installed, thus completing the maintenance of the module board. In this process, only the protective cover of the first side plate needs to be removed and installed, meaning only one side plate needs to be removed and installed. Furthermore, since the module board is set on the platform through the limiting structure, it is relatively easy to remove and install. In contrast, in conventional light sources, the maintenance of both side plates requires removal and installation, and the module board is not easily removed and installed from the platform. Therefore, compared to conventional light sources, the maintenance process for the module board in the light source of this application is simplified, reducing maintenance time and labor, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0065] In the light source provided in this application, the module board is fixed on the platform by a detachable limiting structure, which can be implemented in various forms.

[0066] In a feasible design, see Figure 8 The schematic diagram shows that the housing assembly also includes a second side plate 300 disposed on the other side of the light source assembly. The limiting structure includes at least one detachable first quick-release member 210. The first quick-release member 210 is detachably connected to the platform 1 on the first side. The first quick-release member 210 is used to limit the module plate 51 between the second side plate 300 and the first quick-release member 210 by cooperating with the second side plate 300. The first side is the side where the first side plate 100 is located.

[0067] When the module plate 51 is positioned using this limiting structure, the limiting structure is located on the opposite side of the second side plate. When the first quick-release piece 210 is fixed on the platform, the first quick-release piece 210 exerts a force on the module plate 51 toward the second side plate, while the second side plate also exerts a force on the module plate 51 toward the limiting structure. Under the combined action of these two forces, the position of the module plate 51 is limited between the second side plate and the limiting structure, thereby fixing the module plate to the platform.

[0068] In addition, if it is necessary to remove the module plate 51, after the first quick-release piece 210 is removed from the platform 1, the module plate 51 will no longer be restricted by the first quick-release piece 210, and the module plate 51 can be removed from the side close to the first quick-release piece 210.

[0069] There are various specific implementation structures for the detachable connection between the first quick-release component 210 and the platform 1. For example, a screw connection can be used, where the first quick-release component 210 has a screw hole, and the platform 1 has a corresponding screw hole at the same position. The detachment and installation of the first quick-release component 210 and the platform 1 are achieved through the cooperation of the screw and the screw hole. Of course, this application also supports other detachable connection implementation methods.

[0070] In another feasible design, the limiting structure includes at least one detachable second quick-release member 230, which is detachably connected to the platform 1 on the first side. The second quick-release member 230 is used to limit the module plate 51 on the platform 1 by applying a force toward the platform 1 to the module plate 51.

[0071] When the second quick-release clip 230 is secured to the platform, it exerts a force on the module plate 51 toward the platform 1, which presses the module plate 51 firmly onto the platform, thus securing it in place. If it is necessary to remove the module plate 51, first remove the second quick-release clip 230 from the platform, and then remove the module plate 51 from the side closest to the second quick-release clip 230.

[0072] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the module plate 51 on the platform, in another feasible design of this application, the limiting structure may also include a first quick-release member 210 and a second quick-release member 230. In this case, the combined action of the first quick-release member 210 and the second quick-release member 230 can more firmly fix the module plate 51 on the platform. If it is necessary to remove the module plate 51, the first quick-release member 210 and the second quick-release member 230 need to be removed from the platform before the module plate 51 can be removed.

[0073] As described above regarding the first quick-release component, the first quick-release component and the second side plate work together to define the position of the module plate. To ensure that the first quick-release component and the second side plate effectively secure the module plate, in this embodiment, the horizontal distance between the first quick-release component and the second side plate should match the width of the module plate. Specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9 The structural diagram shown indicates that the position where the first quick-release component 210 abuts against the module plate 51 is the first position. Figure 9 The position A in the diagram represents the first position, and the position where the second side plate 300 abuts against the module plate 51 is the second position. Figure 9 If B in the diagram represents the second position, then the horizontal spacing between the first and second positions matches the width of the module board 51.

[0074] The horizontal spacing between the first and second positions refers to the distance between them in the horizontal direction. The horizontal spacing between the first and second positions matches the width of the module board 51, and typically means that the horizontal spacing between the first and second positions is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the module board 51, thereby limiting the position of the module board 51 between the first and second positions.

[0075] To clarify the structure of the first quick-release component, this application discloses a feasible example. See also... Figure 10 The schematic diagram shows that, in this example, the light source assembly also includes a focusing glass rod 6. The first quick-release component 210 includes a fixing plate 211 and a support plate 212, which are L-shaped. The fixing plate 211 is parallel to the side wall of the platform 1. The fixing plate 211 has an arc-shaped groove 213 at the position corresponding to the focusing glass rod 6, which is used to hold the focusing glass rod. The fixing plate 211 has a screw hole at the position corresponding to the platform, which is used to connect to the platform with a screw, that is, the fixing plate 211 can be screwed to the platform.

[0076] In addition, the support plate 212 is placed on the lower surface of the platform to support the fixed plate.

[0077] The fixing plate 211 and the support plate 212 can be integrally formed. Of course, the fixing plate 211 and the support plate 212 can also be two independent structures. In this case, when the module plate is used for limiting, the fixing plate 211 and the support plate 212 can be combined into an L-shaped structure. This application does not limit this.

[0078] The first quick-release component provided in this example enables a limiting function for the module board, confining its position between the first quick-release component and the second side panel. Of course, the first quick-release component can also have other structural forms, and this application does not limit its application to these.

[0079] In the light source provided in this application embodiment, the first quick-release component 210 includes at least one. Wherein, if the first quick-release component 210 includes at least two, the at least two first quick-release components 210 are arranged sequentially along the long axis direction of the module plate, and the distance between two adjacent first quick-release components 210 is a first preset spacing.

[0080] In the light source disclosed in the embodiments of this application, the spacing between adjacent first quick-release components can be set as the shortest distance between adjacent first quick-release components. In a feasible design, the first preset spacing is within a first distance range, the minimum value of the first distance range is the difference between half the length of the module board and W1, and the maximum value of the first distance range is the difference between twice the length of the module board and W1, where W1 is the width of the first quick-release component.

[0081] Generally, the more quick-release components there are, the more stable the module board will be. However, since the first quick-release components need to be removed when inspecting and maintaining the module board in the light source, an excessive number of first quick-release components will increase the workload of inspection and maintenance and lead to an increase in the cost of the light source.

[0082] Therefore, in this feasible design, the spacing between adjacent first quick-release components is set to a first preset spacing. In this case, a maximum of three first quick-release components can be configured for one module board (i.e., the first preset spacing is equal to the difference between half the length of the module board and W1, and one first quick-release component is provided at the beginning, middle and end of the module board). This ensures the stability of the module board while avoiding an excessive number of first quick-release components.

[0083] Furthermore, if the first preset spacing is the difference between twice the length of the module board and W1, that is, a first quick-release piece is provided at the beginning and end of the module board assembly composed of two module boards, then a second quick-release piece is usually provided for the module board assembly in order to improve the stability of the module board.

[0084] Of course, the size of the first preset spacing can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the first preset spacing can be set to a smaller spacing, which is not limited in this application.

[0085] To clarify the structure of the second quick-release component, this application discloses a feasible example. See also... Figure 8 and Figure 11 The schematic diagram shown in this example illustrates that the second quick-release component 230 includes a vertical plate 231 and a horizontal plate 232. The vertical plate 231 contacts the side wall of the platform in the vertical direction, and the module plate 51 is located between the horizontal plate 232 and the platform. The horizontal plate 232 is used to limit the position of the module plate 51 on the platform by applying a force toward the platform to the module plate 51.

[0086] The vertical plate 231 can be provided with screw holes, which can be used to connect to the platform by screws, that is, the vertical plate 231 can be connected to the platform by screws.

[0087] The second quick-release component provided in this example enables a positioning function for the module board, confining its position on the platform. Of course, the second quick-release component can also take other forms of structure, and this application does not limit its application to these.

[0088] In the light source provided in this application embodiment, the second quick-release component includes at least one. Wherein, if the second quick-release component 230 includes at least two, the at least two second quick-release components 230 are sequentially arranged along the long axis of the module plate, and the distance between two adjacent second quick-release components 230 is a second preset spacing. In a feasible design, the spacing between adjacent first quick-release components is set as the shortest distance between adjacent first quick-release components. The second preset spacing is within a second distance range, the minimum value of the second distance range is the difference between half the length of the module plate 51 and W2, and the maximum value of the second distance range is the difference between twice the length of the module plate 51 and W2, where W2 is the width of the first quick-release component.

[0089] Generally, the more second quick-release components there are, the more stable the module board will be. However, since the second quick-release components need to be removed when inspecting and maintaining the light source, an excessive number of second quick-release components will increase the workload of inspection and maintenance and lead to an increase in the cost of the light source.

[0090] Therefore, in this feasible design, the spacing between adjacent second quick-release components is set as a second preset spacing. The minimum value of the second preset spacing is the difference between half the length of the module board and W2, and the maximum value of the second preset spacing is the difference between twice the length of the module board and W2. Thus, a maximum of three second quick-release components can be configured for one module board (i.e., the second preset spacing is equal to the difference between half the length of the module board and W2, and one second quick-release component is provided at the beginning, middle and end of the module board). This ensures the stability of the module board while avoiding an excessive number of second quick-release components.

[0091] Furthermore, if the second preset spacing is the difference between twice the length of the module board and W2, that is, a second quick-release piece is provided at the beginning and end of the module board assembly composed of two module boards, then a first quick-release piece is usually also provided for the module board assembly in order to improve the stability of the module board.

[0092] Of course, the size of the second preset spacing can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the second preset spacing can be set to a smaller spacing, which is not limited in this application.

[0093] Furthermore, if the limiting structure includes both a first quick-release component and a second quick-release component, the first and second quick-release components can be arranged alternately, that is, a second quick-release component is arranged between two adjacent first quick-release components, and a first quick-release component is arranged between two adjacent second quick-release components. Of course, the first and second quick-release components can also be combined according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0094] Additionally, in the light source provided in this application, see... Figure 12The schematic diagram shown shows that the housing assembly may also include a light-transmitting plate 410 and a pad 420. The light-transmitting plate 410 may be made of a material with good light transmittance, such as acrylic. The light emitted by the light source assembly can pass through the light-transmitting plate and be emitted to the external environment to provide illumination.

[0095] The light-transmitting plate 410 is mounted on the first quick-release component via a pad 420. In other words, the pad 420 is mounted on the first quick-release component 210, and the light-transmitting plate 410 is mounted on the pad to prevent the light-transmitting plate 410 from directly contacting the first quick-release component 210 and causing damage to the light-transmitting plate, thereby extending the service life of the light source.

[0096] Furthermore, the housing assembly may also include a pressure strip 430, and the light-transmitting plate 410 may also be mounted on the second side plate 300 via the pressure strip 430 to improve the stability of the light-transmitting plate 410.

[0097] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the device and system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to in the description of the method embodiments section.

[0098] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
