Detailed Implementation
[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further illustrates this application. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.
[0051] With the development of society and the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have gradually become an indispensable household appliance. As people's pursuit of aesthetics continues to rise, air conditioners are constantly innovating with various new designs. In some cases, lighting fixtures are incorporated into air conditioners to enhance their appearance and decorative function.
[0052] In related technologies, air conditioner lights typically use direct-emission lighting, but these lights have a high luminous value, which makes it difficult for the human eye to adapt to the brightness, easily causing glare and visual fatigue, and affecting the user experience.
[0053] Based on this, this application provides a lighting assembly, a housing device, and an air conditioning unit. The lighting assembly produces softer light, preventing high-brightness light from shining directly into the eyes, effectively reducing or avoiding glare and visual fatigue, and improving the user experience.
[0054] To better understand the lighting assembly of this application, it is illustrated by the housing device and air conditioning equipment to which the lighting assembly is applied.
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, an air conditioning device 10 is provided, which includes an outdoor unit 11 and an indoor unit 12. The outdoor unit 11 and the indoor unit 12 cooperate to enable the indoor unit 12 to provide temperature-regulating gas.
[0056] Thus, when the air conditioning unit 10 is in use, the indoor unit 12 and the outdoor unit 11 work together to provide temperature-regulating gas for enclosed spaces such as indoors. During operation, the indoor unit 12 increases the air intake area and reduces the air intake resistance, which helps to increase the air output of the indoor unit 12 and makes the air conditioning unit 10 operate smoothly.
[0057] There are various ways to achieve the goal of "the outdoor unit 11 and the indoor unit 12 of the air conditioner cooperating to enable the indoor unit 12 to provide temperature-regulating gas". These methods are feasible in conventional technologies and will not be limited here. For example, the outdoor unit 11 and the indoor unit 12 can be connected by passing through the wall with a pipe assembly to facilitate heat exchange.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the indoor unit 12 of the air conditioner includes the housing device 13, which includes a housing body 14 and a lighting assembly 100 disposed on the housing body 14. Thus, the light emitted by the lighting assembly 100 can serve a decorative purpose on the housing device 13 and the air conditioning equipment 10, improving their aesthetics.
[0059] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the luminaire assembly 100 includes a carrier 110, a light-emitting element 120, and a light guide 130. The carrier 110 includes a light-transmitting portion 111. The light-emitting element 120 is disposed on the carrier 110, and the light-emitting element 120 includes a light-emitting portion 121 that emits light toward the light-transmitting portion 111. The light guide 130 is disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 111. The light guide 130 is capable of guiding the light emitted from the light-transmitting portion 111 to the outside of the luminaire assembly 100.
[0060] Thus, during assembly, the light-emitting element 120 is mounted and fixed on the support member 110. During operation, the light-emitting portion 121 of the light-emitting element 120 is positioned towards the light-transmitting portion 111, allowing light emitted from the light-emitting portion 121 to be emitted into and exit through the light-transmitting portion 111. The light guide 130 is positioned opposite the light-transmitting portion 111, guiding the light emitted from the light-emitting portion 121 towards the light-transmitting portion 111 to the outside of the light assembly 100. The light emitted from the light-emitting element 120 is directed through the light-transmitting portion 111 and the light guide 130 to the outside of the light assembly 100, resulting in softer light, preventing high-brightness light from directly hitting the eyes, effectively reducing or avoiding glare and visual fatigue, and providing a better visual effect and user experience.
[0061] It should be noted that the exterior of the lamp assembly 100 includes the light-emitting direction of the lamp assembly, that is, the light is emitted towards the light-transmitting area of the housing body 14.
[0062] It should be noted that there are many ways to implement the light-transmitting part 111. For example, the light-transmitting part 111 can be made of transparent materials such as transparent glass or transparent plastic. Alternatively, the light-transmitting part 111 can be made with an opening so that the light from the light-emitting part 121 can pass through the light-transmitting part 111 and be directed to the light guide 130.
[0063] It should be noted that the light-emitting element 120 can be implemented in various ways, including light bulbs, LED beads, and light boards, etc.
[0064] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the light guide, as long as it can avoid producing high-brightness light. For example, the light guide includes a light guide plate, a light guide tube, etc., which can guide the light generated by the light-emitting element to the outside of the lamp assembly 100.
[0065] For example, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the light guide 130 includes a reflective surface 131 facing the light-transmitting portion 111, and the reflective surface 131 is inclined relative to the light-transmitting portion 111. Thus, when the lighting assembly 100 is operating, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 passes through the light-transmitting portion 111, and the light guide 130 includes a reflective surface 131 facing the light-transmitting portion 111, and the reflective surface 131 is also inclined relative to the light-transmitting portion 111, so that the light emitted from the light-transmitting portion 111 can be reflected to the outside by the reflective surface 131. This allows the light emitted by the lighting assembly 100 to have a better visual effect, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0066] In some embodiments, as the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 passes through the light-transmitting part 111 and is reflected to the outside by the reflective surface 131, the light shines on the light guide 130 and diffuses, which helps to make the light emitted by the lighting assembly 100 softer and can effectively avoid glare and visual fatigue to the user.
[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the reflective surface 131 is an arc-shaped reflective surface 135, which protrudes in a direction away from the light-transmitting part 111. In this way, by setting the reflective surface 131 as an arc-shaped reflective surface 135, the light reflected to the outside world can be more uniform and softer, the light can be better diffused, and the uniformity of light brightness on the light guide 130 can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0068] It should be noted that the direction away from the light-transmitting part 111 is... Figure 2 The X direction is shown.
[0069] It should be noted that the light is emitted by diffuse reflection after passing through the reflective surface 131. There are many ways to achieve diffuse reflection by the reflective surface 131, including spraying paint on the reflective surface 131 to achieve diffuse reflection, or using a frosted surface on the reflective surface 131 to achieve diffuse reflection, etc.
[0070] In some embodiments, the light guide 130 includes a light-inlet portion (not shown) and a light-outlet portion (not shown), with the light-inlet portion and the light-transmitting portion 111 disposed opposite to each other, and the light-outlet portion connected to the outside. Thus, when the lighting assembly 100 is operating, the light emitted from the light-transmitting portion 111 can be emitted to the light-inlet portion and guided to the outside through the light-outlet portion, enabling the light produced by the lighting assembly 100 to have a better visual effect and improving the user experience.
[0071] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the carrier 110 is provided with multiple connecting portions 140, and the light-emitting element 120 is provided with multiple mating portions 150 that are adapted to the connecting portions 140. The light-emitting element 120 is fixedly connected to the carrier 110 through the cooperation of the connecting portions 140 and the mating portions 150. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is assembled, the fixed connection between the light-emitting element 120 and the carrier 110 is achieved by cooperating the connecting portions 140 and the mating portions 150, which improves the assembly efficiency of the lamp assembly 100. Furthermore, by providing multiple connecting portions 140 and their corresponding mating portions 150, the connection reliability between the light-emitting element 120 and the carrier 110 is improved.
[0072] It should be noted that there are various ways to achieve the cooperation between the connecting part 140 and the mating part 150, including snap-fit, screw-fit, riveting, and welding, etc.
[0073] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 140 includes a protrusion 141 protruding from the support member 110, and the mating portion 150 includes a connecting hole 151 that engages with the protrusion 141. Thus, during the assembly of the lighting assembly 100, the protrusion 141 is engaged with the connecting hole 151, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the light-emitting element 120 and the support member 110. This method facilitates the assembly of the support member 110 and the light-emitting element 120, improves the assembly efficiency of the lighting assembly 100, and ensures high connection reliability.
[0074] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 111 includes a light-diffusing surface 112, which is disposed opposite to the light guide 130. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is operating, the light-emitting element 120 can emit light to the light-diffusing surface 112, and then through the light-diffusing surface 112 to the light guide 130, finally being guided to the outside of the lamp assembly 100 by the light guide 130. By providing the light-diffusing surface 112, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 becomes more uniform after passing through the light-diffusing surface 112, and can more evenly illuminate the light guide 130, which further facilitates making the light transmitted to the outside by the light guide 130 softer.
[0075] It should be noted that there are many ways to implement the uniform light surface 112, as long as it can make the light shine out more evenly, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0076] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the uniform light surface 112 includes an arc-shaped light-transmitting surface 113, which protrudes towards the light guide 130. Thus, when the lighting assembly 100 is operating, the light-emitting element 120 can emit light to the arc-shaped light-transmitting surface 113, which then guides the light to the light guide 130, and finally the light is guided to the outside of the lighting assembly 100 by the light guide 130. By providing the arc-shaped light-transmitting surface 113, more uniform light illumination can be achieved, avoiding the formation of light shadows on the light guide 130, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0077] It should be noted that the direction towards the light guide 130 is... Figure 2 The X direction is shown.
[0078] like Figure 3 , Figure 5as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lighting assembly 100 further includes a light-shielding box 160, which includes a box body 161. The box body 161 has a first receiving cavity 162 and a through-hole 163 communicating with the first receiving cavity 162. A carrier member 110 is installed in the first receiving cavity 162, and at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion 111 overlaps with the through-hole 163. Thus, when the lighting assembly 100 is assembled, the carrier member 110 is installed in the first receiving cavity 162 of the box body 161. The box body 161 also has a through-hole 163 communicating with the first receiving cavity 162. By aligning at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion 111 with the through-hole 163, when the lighting assembly 100 is working, the light emitted from the light-emitting portion 121 can pass through the light-transmitting portion 111 and the through-hole 163 to reach the light guide member 130, preventing the light-shielding box 160 from blocking the light-transmitting portion 111 and improving the working reliability of the lighting assembly 100.
[0079] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the opening 163 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 162, the light-transmitting portion 111 passes through the opening 163, and the carrier 110 abuts against the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 162. Thus, by disposing of the opening 163 on the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 162, when the lamp assembly 100 is installed, it is easy to overlap the light-transmitting portion 111 with the opening 163, which helps improve the assembly efficiency of the lamp assembly 100. Furthermore, having the light-transmitting portion 111 pass through the opening 163 further helps to prevent the light-shielding box 160 from blocking the light-transmitting portion 111. The carrier 110 abuts against the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 162 so that the light-shielding box 160 can support the carrier 110, fixing the carrier 110 within the first receiving cavity 162.
[0080] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 further includes a cover 164, which is movably connected to the box body 161 to open or close the first receiving cavity 162. Thus, after the lamp assembly 100 is assembled, the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162 to seal it and prevent external contamination. When the lamp assembly 100 is installed in the air conditioning unit 10, since the air conditioning unit 10 has a humid environment, closing the first receiving cavity 162 with the cover 164 effectively prevents external moisture from entering the first receiving cavity 162, thus preventing the light-emitting element 120 inside the first receiving cavity 162 from being in a humid environment, which helps extend its service life and improve the lighting effect. When the lamp assembly 100 is disassembled, opening the first receiving cavity 162 with the cover 164 facilitates the disassembly of the carrier 110 and the light-emitting element 120 inside the first receiving cavity 162, improving the ease of disassembly of the lamp assembly 100.
[0081] It should be noted that there are several ways to achieve the movable connection between the lid 164 and the box body 161, including sliding connection and rotational connection. For example, the lid 164 and the box body 161 can be slidably connected through the cooperation of a sliding groove and a slider. The lid 164 and the box body 161 can be rotatably connected through a pivot.
[0082] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 includes a rotating member 165, and the cover 164 is rotatably connected to the box body 161 via the rotating member 165. This facilitates the opening and closing of the first receiving cavity 162 by the cover 164, resulting in convenient operation and a simple structure.
[0083] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the rotating component 165, including a rotating shaft, etc.
[0084] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 further includes a retaining edge 166, which is disposed around the periphery of one of the box body 161 and the cover 164. When the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the retaining edge 166 blocks the connection between the box body 161 and the cover 164 to seal the first receiving cavity 162. Thus, when the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the retaining edge 166 located at the connection between the box body 161 and the cover 164 can further prevent moisture from the air conditioning equipment 10 from entering the light-shielding box 160, further improving the service life and lighting effect of the lamp assembly 100.
[0085] It should be noted that the flange 166 disposed on the periphery of either the box body 161 or the lid 164 includes the flange 166 disposed on the periphery of the box body 161 and the flange 166 disposed on the periphery of the lid 164. Of course, there can be multiple flanges 166, disposed on the periphery of the box body 161 and the periphery of the lid 164 respectively. When the lid 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the flange 166 on the periphery of the box body 161 and the flange 166 on the periphery of the lid 164 cooperate with each other to seal the second receiving cavity 114.
[0086] In some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 further includes a sealing element (not shown). When the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the sealing element is disposed at the connection between the box body 161 and the cover 164, and is sandwiched between the box body 161 and the cover 164 to seal the first receiving cavity 162. Thus, this method can also achieve the sealing of the first receiving cavity 162 when the cover 164 closes it. This sealing method has a simple structure and is easy to implement.
[0087] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the material of the seal, including but not limited to rubber, silicone, etc.
[0088] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the carrier 110 has a second receiving cavity 114, a light-transmitting portion 111 is disposed on the side wall of the second receiving cavity 114, and the light-emitting element 120 is disposed within the second receiving cavity 114. A portion of the carrier 110 protrudes from the box body 161. When the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the carrier 110 abuts against the cover 164 to seal the second receiving cavity 114. Thus, by providing the second receiving cavity 114 in the carrier 110 and placing the light-emitting element 120 within the second receiving cavity 114, the carrier 110 can protect the light-emitting element 120. The support member 110 protrudes from the box body 161, so that when the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the cover 164 and the support member 110 abut against each other, thereby sealing the second receiving cavity 114. This further prevents the humid environment of the air conditioning equipment 10 from affecting the light-emitting element 120, and allows water vapor to be isolated from the outside of the first receiving cavity 162 and the second receiving cavity 114.
[0089] In some embodiments, the luminaire assembly 100 further includes a sealing layer (not shown) disposed within the second receiving cavity 114 to cover and seal the light-emitting element. This prevents moisture from the air conditioning unit 10 from entering the second receiving cavity 114 and causing corrosion to the light-emitting element.
[0090] In some embodiments, after the light-emitting element 120 is installed in the second receiving cavity 114, the second receiving cavity 114 is filled with adhesive to form a sealing layer. In this way, on the one hand, the light-emitting element 120 can be further fixed, and on the other hand, moisture from the air conditioning equipment 10 can be further prevented from entering the second receiving cavity 114 and causing corrosion to the light-emitting element 120, thereby further improving the service life of the lamp assembly 100.
[0091] It should be noted that there are several ways to inject adhesive into the second receiving cavity 114, including injecting hot melt adhesive, injecting thermoplastic, etc.
[0092] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 is provided with a wire hole 167, and the carrier 110 is provided with a wire opening 115 communicating with the second receiving cavity 114. The wire hole 167 and the wire opening 115 are arranged opposite to each other. In this way, the wire can be connected to the light-emitting element 120 through the wire hole 167 and the wire opening 115. By arranging the wire hole 167 and the wire opening 115 opposite to each other, the wiring of the lamp assembly 100 can be facilitated and the wiring efficiency can be improved.
[0093] It should be noted that there are several ways to implement the wire hole 167 in the light-shielding box 160. These include placing the wire hole 167 on the box body 161 of the light-shielding box 160, placing it on the cover 164 of the light-shielding box 160, or... Figure 4 As shown, notches are provided on the box body 161 and the cover 164 respectively. When the cover 164 and the box body 161 cooperate to close the first receiving cavity 162, the notches cooperate to form a wire hole 167.
[0094] In some embodiments, the carrier 110 is a lamp box, which has a second receiving cavity 114 and houses the light-emitting element 120 in the second receiving cavity 114.
[0095] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the box body 161 and the cover 164 is provided with a latching protrusion 101, and the other is provided with a latch 102. When the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, the latching protrusion 101 and the latch 102 engage. Thus, after the lamp assembly 100 is assembled, the cover 164 closes the first receiving cavity 162, and the latching protrusion 101 and the latch 102 engage to achieve a fixed connection between the box body 161 and the cover 164, so as to prevent the cover 164 of the lamp assembly 100 from being opened, which would allow moisture from the air conditioning equipment 10 to enter the lamp assembly 100 and affect the service life of the lamp assembly 100.
[0096] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the statement that "one of the box body 161 and the cover 164 is provided with a latching protrusion 101 and the other is provided with a latch 102". These include providing a latching protrusion 101 on the box body 161 and a latch 102 on the cover 164; and providing a latching protrusion 101 on the cover 164 and a latch 102 on the box body 161.
[0097] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 161 is provided with a mounting portion 168, and the mounting portion 168 is provided with a mating hole 103, through which the lamp assembly 100 can be installed on the air conditioning equipment 10. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is installed on the air conditioning equipment 10, the lamp assembly 100 is installed on the air conditioning equipment 10 through the mating hole 103 of the mounting portion 168. This structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0098] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the box body 161 and the mounting part 168, including integral molding (such as injection molding) and separate manufacturing and reassembly.
[0099] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-shielding box 160 includes a connector 169 connected to the box body 161, and a light guide 130 connected to the connector 169 to be disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 111. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is assembled, the light guide 130 is fixedly connected to the light-shielding box 160 through the connector 169, and the light guide 130 is disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 111, so that during the operation of the lamp assembly 100, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 is conducted to the outside through the light-transmitting portion 111 and the light guide 130.
[0100] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the box body 161 and the connector 169, including integral molding (such as injection molding) and separate manufacturing and reassembly.
[0101] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the light guide 130 and the connector 169 are detachably fixedly connected. Thus, by designing the light guide 130 and the connector 169 to be detachable, it is convenient to repair and replace the components of the lighting assembly 100.
[0102] It should be noted that there are various ways to achieve the detachable and fixed connection between the light guide 130 and the connector 169, including snap-fit fixing, screw fixing, etc.
[0103] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the light guide 130 and the connector 169 is provided with a slot 104, and the other is provided with an insert 105 that can mate with the slot 104. The insert 105 is inserted into the slot 104. In this way, the light guide 130 and the connector 169 are detachably and fixedly connected by inserting the insert 105 into the slot 104. This method facilitates the installation and removal of the light guide 130 and the connector 169, and has a simple structure that is easy to implement.
[0104] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the light guide 130 includes a first light guide portion 132, which is disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 111. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is operating, the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 121 of the light-emitting element 120 can be emitted to and exit through the light-transmitting portion 111. The first light guide portion 132, disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 111, guides the light emitted by the light-emitting portion 121 towards the light-transmitting portion 111 to the outside of the lamp assembly 100. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 of the lamp assembly 100 is guided to the outside of the lamp assembly 100 via the first light guide portion 132, resulting in softer light, preventing direct light from shining into the eyes, and improving the user experience.
[0105] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the light guide 130 further includes at least two second light guide portions 133. The second light guide portions 133 are connected to the first light guide portion 132, and the two second light guide portions 133 are arranged opposite each other to form a clearance space 134. The light-transmitting portion 111 is located within the clearance space 134. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is operating, the light generated by the light-emitting portion 121 of the light-emitting element 120 can be emitted to the light-transmitting portion 111 and emitted through it. Furthermore, the light can be guided to the outside of the lamp assembly 100 through the second light guide portions 133. By arranging the two second light guide portions 133 opposite each other to form the clearance space 134, and placing the light-transmitting portion 111 within the clearance space 134, the light emitted from the light-transmitting portion 111 of the lamp assembly 100 can better hit the light guide 130, preventing light scattering and improving the visual effect of the light produced by the lamp assembly 100. When the light-transmitting part 111 protrudes in the direction of the light guide 130, the clearance space 134 formed between the two light guides 130 can avoid the light-transmitting part 111 and also prevent the light from the light-transmitting part 111 from scattering from both sides, which is beneficial to improving the visual effect of the light produced by the lamp assembly 100.
[0106] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first light guide 132 includes an arc-shaped reflective surface 135. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is operating, the light-emitting element 120 can emit light to the light-transmitting element 111, and then through the light-transmitting element 111 to the first light guide 132, finally being guided to the outside of the lamp assembly 100 by the arc-shaped reflective surface 135. By providing the arc-shaped reflective surface 135, the light reflected to the outside can be more uniform and softer, the light can be better diffused, and the uniformity of light brightness on the light guide 130 can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0107] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the second light guide 133 includes a reflective surface 131. Thus, when the lamp assembly 100 is working, the light-emitting element 120 emits light to the light-transmitting part 111, and then the light is directed to the second light guide 133 via the light-transmitting part 111. The reflective surface 131 of the second light guide 133 can reflect the light to the outside, or reflect it to the first light guide 132, and then reflect it to the outside.
[0108] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0109] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
