Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a light box structure suitable for nurse stations. Background Technology
[0002] The hospital nurses' station is a crucial component of a hospital, serving as a vital communication space between patients and nurses. The layout of the nurses' station should be rational, comfortable, safe, and convenient. Nurses need a spacious, bright, and clean working environment to better serve patients. Simultaneously, the nurses' station should provide sufficient seating and standing space so that patients and their families can comfortably wait for treatment. The lighting in the nurses' station area needs to be relatively stable to avoid interruptions in its functionality. Currently, LED light strips are commonly used for lighting. However, because LED light strips are installed in relatively enclosed spaces, the heat they emit is difficult to dissipate, and increased temperature affects the lifespan of the LED bulbs. Furthermore, LED light strips are often connected to their installation locations using adhesives or fasteners. When LED light strips need replacement due to damage, the installation height of LED light strips is typically over 2 meters, making disassembly difficult for maintenance personnel and impossible to perform with one hand. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightbox structure suitable for nurse stations.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A light box structure suitable for a nurse station includes: a light strip assembly, the light strip assembly being mounted on a light strip mounting frame, the light strip assembly including a substrate, a flexible heat-conducting component, an LED light strip, and a light strip fixing component; a first side of the substrate is fixedly connected to the light strip mounting frame; a pair of connecting posts are spaced apart on a second side of the substrate; the flexible heat-conducting component is located on the second side of the substrate, the flexible heat-conducting component including a capsule, the capsule being filled with a heat-conducting liquid; the LED light strip is disposed on the second side of the substrate, and the flexible heat-conducting component is located between the LED light strip and the substrate; the distance between two corresponding connecting posts in the pair of connecting posts is greater than the width of the LED light strip; the light strip fixing component is connected to the connecting posts and fixes the LED light strip.
[0005] The present invention provides a light box structure suitable for nurse stations, as described above. Furthermore, the flexible heat-conducting component is spaced between the substrate and the LED light strip.
[0006] The present invention provides a light box structure applicable to nurse stations, as described above. Further, the light strip fixing component includes a pressure plate with an internal cavity for mounting components. The pressure plate has a connecting post insertion hole corresponding to the position of the connecting post. A movable locking component is installed in the internal cavity. The movable locking component includes a transmission rod, one end of which is connected to a pressing plate. An adapter is fixedly connected to the transmission rod, and a locking post is fixedly connected to the adapter. A spring is installed at the other end of the transmission rod. The base plate also has locking post holes for mounting the locking post. Pressing the transmission rod causes the adapter to disengage the locking post from the locking groove of the connecting post.
[0007] The present invention provides a light box structure suitable for nurse stations as described above. Further, the inner cavity includes a transmission rod receiving cavity, an adapter receiving cavity, and a spring receiving cavity; the adapter receiving cavity is connected to the locking pin hole.
[0008] The present invention provides a light box structure suitable for nurse stations as described above. Further, the light strip mounting frame is connected to the frame connecting frame, and the frame connecting frame is connected to the building roof by bolts.
[0009] The present invention provides a light box structure suitable for nurse stations as described above. Further, the lower part of the light strip mounting frame is fixed with aluminum single plates at intervals, and a light-transmitting light film is connected between the aluminum single plates through a light film connector.
[0010] The present invention provides a lightbox structure suitable for nurse stations as described above, wherein the number of light-transmitting films is two layers.
[0011] The present invention provides a lightbox structure suitable for nurse stations, as described above, further comprising acrylic lettering installed on the outer side of the aluminum panel.
[0012] When the above-described light box structure for a nurse's station is used, the heat generated by the LED light strip during operation is transferred to the flexible heat-conducting component, and then to the substrate, allowing the heat to dissipate into the air through the flexible heat-conducting component and the substrate. This prevents the LED light strip temperature from affecting the lifespan of the LED chips. Compared to methods such as using thermal grease, the flexible heat-conducting component in this invention allows for direct removal and installation of new LED light strips when the LED light strip reaches the end of its lifespan and needs replacement.

In addition to the embodiments described herein, those skilled in the art can employ other obvious technical solutions based on the content disclosed in the claims and specification of this application.

[0023] The accompanying drawings in this specification are schematic diagrams used to illustrate the concept of this utility model, and schematically show the shapes of the various parts and their interrelationships. Please note that, in order to clearly show the structure of the components of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings are not drawn to the same scale.

[0024] Figure 1This invention illustrates a lightbox structure suitable for a nurses' station according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
[0025] Includes: LED strip assembly 3, which is mounted on LED strip mounting frame 2; in such cases... Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment shown, the cross-section of the light strip mounting frame is a rectangular structure with an opening on the top. This allows the light strip mounting frame to be directly connected to the building roof, or it can be configured as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the LED strip mounting frame 2 is connected to the frame connecting frame 1, and the frame connecting frame 1 is connected to the building roof by bolts. Using the L-shaped frame connecting frame for the LED strip mounting frame transition avoids the difficulty of replacing the LED strip mounting frame if it is damaged such as twisting during installation.
[0026] The light strip assembly 3 includes a substrate 31, a flexible heat-conducting component 32, an LED light strip 33, and a light strip fixing component 35. The substrate can be made of plastic or metal; for better heat dissipation, an aluminum substrate is preferred. The substrate size is preferably larger than the LED light strip size; for example, if the LED light strip is 100 cm long and 2 cm wide, the substrate size can be 104 cm long and 3 cm wide. The first side of the substrate 31 is fixedly connected to the light strip mounting frame 2; this connection can be achieved by adhesive or bolts. The second side of the substrate 31 is provided with pairs of connecting posts 34 spaced apart. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, there are four connecting posts, arranged in pairs; the specific number can be selected according to the length of the LED strip. The flexible heat-conducting element 32 is located on the second side of the substrate 31. The flexible heat-conducting element 32 includes a capsule filled with a heat-conducting liquid; the capsule refers to a sealed flexible capsule made of materials such as rubber or silicone, and the capsule can be a flat rectangular or circular structure; the heat-conducting liquid can be water or oil that conducts heat. The LED strip 33 is disposed on the second side of the substrate 31, with the flexible heat-conducting element 32 positioned between the LED strip 33 and the substrate 31; the distance between two corresponding connecting posts 34 in the pair is greater than the width of the LED strip 33; the strip fixing member 35 connects to the connecting posts 34 and fixes the LED strip 33. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, five independent flexible heat-conducting elements 32 are provided, spaced apart between the substrate 31 and the LED strip 33. If the flexible heat-conducting elements are designed as a single unit, when the LED strip presses against the flexible heat-conducting elements, the overall length of the flexible heat-conducting elements may become excessively long and exceed the length of the LED strip.
[0027] The light box structure for nurse stations described in the above embodiments of this utility model incorporates a flexible heat-conducting component between the LED strip and the substrate. When the LED strip is fixed to the substrate using the strip fastener, it is fully compressed to ensure sufficient contact between the LED strip and the flexible heat-conducting component, and between the flexible heat-conducting component and the substrate. This allows heat generated during LED strip operation to be transferred to the flexible heat-conducting component, and then to the substrate, where it is dissipated into the air. This prevents the LED strip temperature from rising and affecting the lifespan of the LED chips. Compared to methods using thermal grease, the flexible heat-conducting component in this utility model allows for direct removal and installation of new LED strips when the LED strip reaches the end of its lifespan.
[0028] The hospital nurses' station is a highly functional area, and broken lighting can severely limit its usability at night, thus requiring rapid maintenance. Figures 2-5 In a preferred embodiment shown, the LED strip fastener 35 includes a pressure plate 351, the length of which should be greater than the distance between two paired connecting posts; since an inner cavity needs to be provided within the pressure plate, it needs to have a suitable thickness, for example, between 5 mm and 10 mm. The pressure plate 351 has an inner cavity 352 for mounting components, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the inner cavity 352 includes a transmission rod receiving cavity 3521, an adapter receiving cavity 3522, and a spring receiving cavity 3523; the adapter receiving cavity 3522 is connected to the locking pin hole 358. The pressure plate 351 is provided with a connecting pin insertion hole 353 corresponding to the position of the connecting pin 34; the inner cavity 352 is equipped with a movable locking component, which includes a transmission rod 354, one end of the transmission rod 354 is connected to a pressing piece 355, the adapter 356 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 354, the locking pin 357 is fixedly connected to the adapter 356, and a spring is installed at the other end of the transmission rod 354; the base plate 31 is also provided with a locking pin hole 358 for the locking pin 357 to be installed; pressing the transmission rod 354 can cause the adapter 356 to drive the locking pin 357 to disengage from the locking groove 341 of the connecting pin 34. When fixing the LED light strip, press the pressing plate with one hand to move the transmission rod. This causes the spring (not shown) to compress, and simultaneously the adapter moves the locking pin in the same direction. At this point, the connector pin's insertion hole is not obstructed by the locking pin, allowing for smooth insertion when installing from above. When the connection is inserted to the appropriate depth so that the connector pin's slot aligns with the locking pin, release the pressing plate. The spring then returns to its original position and pushes the transmission rod outward. The adapter then moves the locking pin outward, causing it to engage in the slot. Following this method, when the LED light strip is damaged and needs replacement, maintenance personnel can operate the light strip fixing components with one hand to install or remove it, enabling single-person, one-handed replacement of the LED light strip.
[0029] When a building roof requires suspended ceiling decoration, it involves the intersection of suspended ceiling construction and light box structure; specifically, the suspended ceiling decoration includes threaded rods 10 connected to the building roof, connecting rods 11 connected to the lower end of threaded rods 10 and keel 12, and plasterboard 5 installed on keel 12; at the location where the plasterboard connects to the light box structure suitable for nurse stations, L-shaped edge strips 4 are installed. In such cases... Figure 1 In the lightbox structure shown for a nurse station, aluminum panels 6 are fixed at intervals at the lower part of the light strip mounting frame 2, and translucent light films 7 are connected between the aluminum panels 6 via light film connectors 9. Figure 1 It can be seen that two layers of translucent film are preferably used. Acrylic lettering 8 is installed on the outer side of aluminum panel 6 on one side.
[0030] The technical features disclosed above are not limited to the combinations of the disclosed features with other features. Those skilled in the art can also make other combinations of the technical features according to the purpose of the utility model in order to achieve the purpose of the utility model.
