Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a street light head, and more specifically, to a street light head with improved function and structure that allows an upper cover to cover a lower cover while simultaneously securing a lighting module disposed on the lower cover. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, streetlights refer to lighting facilities installed along roads (roadways and sidewalks) for the safety and security of vehicles and pedestrians. Such streetlights are installed on expressways, major urban roads, roads in commercial and residential districts, and in the centers or edges of bridges.

[0004] In such conventional streetlights, a streetlight head is installed by attaching it to the upper end of a support pole that is installed vertically from the ground. At this time, the components of the streetlight head are broadly divided into an upper cover, a lower cover, and a lighting module (LED module), and may also include a reflector (reflector), a lighting module socket, and a globe (lighting window).

[0005] Most of these conventional streetlights are structured such that screw holes are formed at predetermined locations on the lower or upper cover, and the lighting module is positioned at the location where the screw holes are formed and joined by tightening the screws.

[0006] In the structure of such conventional streetlights, the lower cover or upper cover must be manufactured by pressing or injection molding, and then a screw hole for connecting the lighting module must be formed separately. Therefore, not only is manufacturing cumbersome, but the work of connecting and fixing the lighting module to the lower cover or upper cover and the work of removing it are also cumbersome.

[0035] The diameter of the coupling projection of the present invention may be formed to be larger than the open width of the coupling groove, so that it is coupled by an interference fit. Effects of the invention

[0038] The present invention obtains an improved functional effect that allows the fixing part of the upper cover to press and fix the lighting module toward the seating part by covering the lower cover with the upper cover without separate screw tightening while the lighting module is seated in the seating part of the lower cover, thereby making the fixing and detaching of the lighting module from the lower cover extremely easy.

[0039] The present invention provides a gasket at the portion of the mounting part provided in the lower cover where the lighting module is mounted or fitted, and / or at the lower part of the fixing part provided in the upper cover, so that the lighting module to be mounted can be elastically cushioned and pressed, thereby enabling the lighting module to be mounted and fixed by the gasket, thereby achieving the effect of mounting and fixing the lighting module without movement or damage by responding to height deviations due to size tolerances between the mounting part and the fixing part when manufacturing the lower cover and the upper cover.

[0040] The present invention forms a perforation for air circulation in the fixed part to provide a path through which heat generated from the lighting module can circulate within the street light head or be released to the outside, thereby inducing rapid and easy heat exchange or release of the heat generated from the lighting module, and thereby inducing stable operation of the lighting module while minimizing the reduction of its lifespan due to heat generation.

[0041] The present invention produces a lower frame on one side, a lower frame on the other side, and a seating portion in the form of profiles through extrusion, and assembles these pre-fabricated profiles by screwing them between front and rear plates, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating manufacturing.

[0042] The present invention achieves the effect of reducing maintenance costs by pre-fabricating one lower frame, the other lower frame, and a mounting part, and then assembling and installing them by tightening screws between the front and rear plates, thereby allowing only the damaged part to be replaced instead of replacing the entire street light head in the event of partial damage.

[0043] The present invention provides a + / - connection terminal that is elastically connected to the power terminal of a lighting module on one side of the lower part of the fixed part, so that when the upper cover is closed toward the lower cover, power supplied through the wire introduced via the support is supplied to the lighting module (when opened, power is cut off in the opposite direction), thereby obtaining an improved usability effect in which the power supply to the lighting module is automatically cut off according to the open / closed state of the upper cover without separate operation.

Furthermore, in describing the embodiments disclosed in this specification, if it is determined that a detailed description of related prior art could obscure the essence of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, such detailed description will be omitted.

[0047] Terms including ordinal numbers, such as first, second, etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components are not limited by said terms. These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another.

[0048] A singular expression includes a plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0049] In this application, each step described may be performed regardless of the order listed, except where it must be performed in the order listed by a particular causal relationship.

[0050] In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to specify the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0052] The present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0053] First, one embodiment of the street light head (100) of the present invention is as shown in the attached drawings FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0054] The present invention may basically comprise: a lower cover (110) coupled to the top of a support post, wherein a mounting portion (114) is provided on a lower surface (horizontal surface) such that the light-emitting portion of a lighting module (10) is seated facing downwardly and openly, as shown in the attached drawings FIGS. 1 to 3; and an upper cover (120) coupled to the lower cover (110) through a hinge coupling portion (130) to rotate open and closed, wherein a fixing portion (121) is provided downwardly to press and fix the lighting module (10) seated on the mounting portion (114) when closed.

[0055] At this time, the above-mentioned support may be a column equipped with a power supply and control circuit installed vertically on the ground, and since this corresponds to a standard street light support, a detailed description is omitted.

[0056] In this invention, when a lighting module (10) is arranged and seated on the seating portion (114) of the lower cover (110), by covering the upper cover (120) with the lower cover (110) without separate screw tightening, the fixing portion (121) of the upper cover (120) can press and fix the lighting module (10) in the direction of the seating portion (114), thereby making it extremely easy to fix and detach the lighting module (10) from the lower cover (110).

[0057] At this time, the lighting module (10) is presented as an LED lighting module as a preferred embodiment, but is not limited thereto, and various lighting devices may be applied depending on the purpose, application, and needs.

[0058] Hereinafter, let us look at a specific embodiment of the present invention. The lower cover (110) of the present invention may comprise a circular or polygonal receptacle including an elliptical shape, a bottom surface (111) having an opening (113) formed in the central part; a height surface (112) provided upward along the outer edge of the bottom surface (111); and a seating portion (114) provided protruding upward from both sides or the entire edge facing the opening (113).

[0059] At this time, the opening (113) formed on the bottom surface (111) of the present invention may be formed with an area and shape in which the light-emitting portions of the lighting modules (10), which are arranged in a single or multiple rows, are exposed to the outside.

[0060] In this way, the opening (113) formed openly on the bottom surface (111) of the lower cover (110) is formed to have the same shape and area as the light-emitting part of the lighting module (10) exposed to the outside, so that the light emitted from the lighting module (10) shines downward.

[0061] At this time, the opening (113) may be blocked from the outside through a transparent window (not shown).

[0062] In this way, if the opening (113) is blocked by a transparent window, it is possible to prevent rainwater or dust from entering the lighting module (10) and to protect the lighting module (10) from external pressure or impact.

[0063] In addition, one end of the height surface (112) of the present invention, that is, the surface in the rear direction, may be perforated as shown in the attached drawing Fig. 2 to provide a connection portion for the support (not shown).

[0064] The support joint portion provided on the height surface (112) may be formed as a single unit with the height surface (112) and protrude outward (rear), or a separately provided joint member may be connected by screw or welding, and the perforated portion may be a path through which power lines or control and operation monitoring wires extending from the support are guided.

[0065] In addition, as shown in the attached drawing Fig. 4, the mounting portion (114) of the present invention may have a mounting step (114a) formed with a height lower than the thickness (height) of the lighting module (10) so that the lighting module (10) is partially inserted and mounted on the protruding top.

[0066] In this way, the mounting step (114a) formed on the mounting portion (114) allows a part of the lighting module (10) to be mounted in a recessed state, thereby guiding the lighting module (10) to be mounted in an accurate position and preventing movement in the mounted state.

[0067] At this time, one of the two opposing sides of the mounting portion (114) of the present invention may have an inlet groove (114b) formed on its side so that one end of the lighting module (10) is inserted, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of the right side of FIG. 4 of the attached drawing, and the other mounting portion (114) may have the other end of the lighting module (10) mounted on its upper side and pressed by the fixing portion (121) of the upper cover (120).

[0068] In this way, the inlet groove (114b) formed on the edge side portion of the one-sided mounting portion (114) is fitted with one end of the lighting module (10), so the mounting state can be maintained more firmly and stably, and in this case, the fixing portion (121) may be excluded, and by excluding the fixing portion (121) as described above, the material cost for manufacturing the upper cover (120) can be reduced, thereby lowering the overall manufacturing cost of the street light head (100).

[0069] At this time, it is preferable that the lower surface of the inlet groove (114b) of the one-sided mounting portion (114) and the upper surface of the other-sided mounting portion (114) have the same height, so that the lighting module (10) being mounted is mounted horizontally without tilting.

[0070] In addition, it is preferable that the mounting portion (114) of the present invention has a mounting gasket (not shown) provided in the portion where the lighting module (10) is mounted or fitted.

[0071] The above-mentioned mounting gasket allows the lighting module (10) to be mounted elastically on the mounting portion (114), and corresponds to the height deviation due to the size tolerance between the mounting portion (114) and the fixing portion (121) when manufacturing the lower cover (110) and the upper cover (120), thereby allowing the lighting module (10) to be mounted without movement or damage.

[0072] Meanwhile, the upper cover (120) of the present invention is a cover that covers and blocks the lower cover (110), and may include a fixing part (121) that is vertically protruded from the inner lower surface, that is, a portion corresponding to the seating part (114) among the surfaces facing the lower cover (110).

[0073] The above-mentioned fixed part (121) may be formed as a single unit with the upper cover (120).

[0074] At this time, the fixing part (121) of the present invention may further include a pressure gasket (122) that elastically presses the lighting module (10) on the lower surface.

[0075] The above-mentioned pressure gasket (122) elastically cushions and pressurizes the lighting module (10) seated on the seating portion (114), and in response to the height deviation due to the size tolerance between the seating portion (114) and the fixing portion (121) when manufacturing the lower cover (110) and the upper cover (120), the lighting module (10) is fixed without movement or damage.

[0076] As described above, if the gap between the mounting portion (114) and the fixing portion (121) is wider than the appropriate range due to manufacturing tolerances, there is a risk that the lighting module (10) may move or deviate from the mounting position in the absence of the gaskets. If the gap between the mounting portion (114) and the fixing portion (121) is narrower than the appropriate range due to manufacturing tolerances, the lower cover (110) and the upper cover (120) may not close, or the fixing portion (121) may excessively press the lighting module (10) mounted on the mounting portion (114), thereby deforming or damaging the shape of the lighting module (10). The gaskets of the present invention can resolve these problems.

[0077] The fixing part (121) of the present invention may press both ends or one end of the lighting module (10) that is seated on the seating part (114).

[0078] In the above, the fixing part (121) pressing both ends of the lighting module (10) is in accordance with the basic structure of the present invention, and pressing one end is useful in cases where pressing fixation by the fixing part (121) is unnecessary, such as when an inlet groove (114b) is formed on the side so that one end of the lighting module (10) is fitted into the one end of the lighting module (10) as described above.

[0079] In addition, the fixing part (121) of the present invention may be a rib that protrudes vertically from the lower surface of the upper cover (120), and may have a perforation (123) for air circulation formed on the surface of the rib.

[0080] In this way, by forming a perforation (123) for air circulation in the fixed part (121), a path is provided through which heat generated from the lighting module (10) can circulate inside the street light head (100) or be released to the outside, thereby inducing rapid and easy heat exchange or release of heat generated from the lighting module (10), and thereby enabling stable operation of the lighting module (10) while minimizing the reduction of lifespan due to heat generation.

[0081] Additionally, the hinge joint (130) of the present invention may include: a lower bracket provided at a distance on both sides of the outer surface of one end (rear direction) of the lower cover (110) to which the support is joined; an upper bracket provided in a direction and position corresponding to the lower bracket among the upper covers; and a connecting pin that rotatably fastens while intersecting through the lower bracket and the upper bracket.

[0082] The hinge joint (130) of one embodiment of the present invention is a conventional rotatable joint structure, so a detailed description is omitted.

[0084] Next, another embodiment of the street light head (200) of the present invention is as shown in the attached drawings FIGS. 6 to 14.

[0085] The present invention may basically comprise: a lower cover (210) coupled to the top of a support post in a state in which a mounting portion (214) is provided such that the light-emitting portion of a lighting module (10) is seated facing downwardly and openly, as shown in the attached drawings FIGS. 6 to 10; and an upper cover (220) coupled to the lower cover (210) through a hinge coupling portion (230) to rotate open and closed, and having a fixing portion (221) provided downwardly to press and fix the lighting module (10) seated on the mounting portion (214) when closed.

[0086] In this invention, when the lighting module (10) is arranged and seated on the seating portion (214) of the lower cover (210), the upper cover (220) is covered over the lower cover (210) without separate screw tightening, thereby allowing the fixing portion (221) of the upper cover (220) to press and fix the lighting module (10) in the direction of the seating portion (214), making it possible to perform the fixing and detaching operations of the lighting module (10) on the lower cover (210) extremely easy, which is not significantly different from one embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] Hereinafter, let us look at another specific embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the lower cover (210) comprises: front and rear plates (211a) (211b) with an upwardly curved upper portion provided spaced apart in the front and rear directions; a hinge joint (230) provided to cross between the curved vertices of the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) and coupled between the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) by a screw penetrating the front and rear plates (211a) (211b); and two lower frames (212) (213) which are '┗' shaped profiles arranged to cross between the two lower sides of the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) and coupled to the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) respectively by a screw penetrating the front and rear plates (211a) (211b). and a seating portion (214) provided on the horizontal plane of each of the lower frames (212) (213) on both sides; may be included.

[0088] In this way, the present invention makes it possible to manufacture and facilitate production by pre-manufacturing the one-sided lower frame (212), the other-sided lower frame (213), and the seating portion (214) into profiles through extrusion, and assembling these pre-manufactured profiles by screwing them between the front and rear plates (211a) (211b).

[0089] In addition, the present invention allows for the pre-manufacturing of the one-sided lower frame (212), the other-sided lower frame (213), and the seating portion (214) as described above, and then assembling and installing them by screwing between the front and rear plates (211a) (211b), thereby enabling the replacement of only the damaged part of the street light head (200) in the event of partial damage, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0090] At this time, as shown in the attached drawings 6 to 10 (particularly Fig. 8), the hinge joint (230) of the present invention may have one side formed along the longitudinal direction formed as an integral part with the portion (212') that is curved upward from the upper end formed along the longitudinal direction of the one side lower frame (212), and the other side formed along the longitudinal direction may have a joint groove (231) formed to which a joint projection (223) with a circular cross-section formed along the upper longitudinal direction of the upper cover (220) is fitted.

[0091] In this invention, the extended portion (212') is formed to extend upwardly in a curved manner from the upper end formed along the longitudinal direction of the lower frame (212) to reach the hinge joint (230), thereby serving as an upper cover on one side of the street light head (100).

[0092] At this time, the diameter (Wa) of the coupling projection (223) of the present invention may be formed larger than the open width (Wb) of the coupling groove (231), as shown in the attached drawing Fig. 9, so that it is forcibly fitted.

[0093] In this way, the diameter of the coupling projection (223) provided on the upper end of the upper cover (220) is formed to be larger than the width of the open portion of the coupling groove (231) of the hinge coupling part (230), so that the coupling projection (223) is forcibly fitted into the coupling groove (231) without a coupling means including a separate screw, and as shown in the attached drawing Fig. 10, the upper cover (220) can be rotated open and closed around the coupling groove (231) of the hinge coupling part (230).

[0094] The open portion formed by the bottom of the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) of the present invention and the bottom surface of the two lower frames (212) (213) may be formed in an area and shape such that a single or multiple light-emitting portions of the lighting modules (10) arranged side by side are exposed to the outside.

[0095] At this time, the rear plate (211b) of the present invention may have a middle portion perforated to provide a connection portion to the support (not shown).

[0096] The support joint portion provided on the rear plate (211b) may be formed as a single unit with the rear plate (211b) and protrude outward (rear), or a separately provided joint member may be connected by screw or welding, and the perforated portion may be a path through which power lines or control and operation monitoring wires extending from the support are guided.

[0097] Additionally, the mounting portion (214) of the present invention may have a mounting step (214') formed thereon having a height lower than the thickness (height) of the lighting module so that the lighting module (10) is partially inserted and mounted on the protruding top.

[0098] In this way, the mounting step (214') formed on the mounting portion (214) allows a part of the lighting module (10) to be mounted in a recessed state, thereby guiding the lighting module (10) to be mounted in an accurate position and preventing movement in the mounted state.

[0099] At this time, the mounting portion (214) of the present invention may have an inlet groove (214b) formed on the side of one of the facing sides so that one end of the lighting module (10) is inserted, and the other mounting portion (214) may have the other end of the lighting module (10) mounted on the upper side and pressed by the fixing portion (221) of the upper cover (220).

[0100] In this way, the inlet groove (214b) formed on the edge side portion of the one-sided mounting portion (214) is fitted with one end of the lighting module (10), so the mounting state can be maintained more firmly and stably, and in this case, the fixing portion (221) may be excluded, and by excluding the fixing portion (221) as described above, the material cost for manufacturing the upper cover (220) can be reduced, thereby lowering the overall manufacturing cost of the street light head (100).

[0101] At this time, it is preferable that the lower surface of the inlet groove (214b) of the one-sided mounting portion (214) and the upper surface of the other-sided mounting portion (214) have the same height, so that the lighting module (10) being mounted is mounted horizontally without tilting.

[0102] In addition, at this time, it is preferable that the mounting portion (214) of the present invention has a mounting gasket (not shown) provided in the portion where the lighting module (10) is mounted or fitted.

[0103] The above-mentioned mounting gasket allows the lighting module (10) to be mounted elastically on the mounting portion (214), and corresponds to the height deviation due to the size tolerance between the mounting portion (214) and the fixing portion (221) when manufacturing the lower cover (210) and the upper cover (220), thereby allowing the lighting module (10) to be mounted without movement or damage.

[0105] Meanwhile, the upper cover (220) of the present invention may be a plate-shaped (convexly curved plate body) cover that covers and blocks the lower cover (210), and a coupling projection (223) formed along the length direction of the upper portion may be fitted into a coupling groove (231) formed along the length direction of the hinge coupling portion (230), and a fixing portion (221) that extends inwardly along the length direction of the lower portion and is bent downward may press and fix the lighting module (10) seated on the seating portion (214).

[0106] The above-mentioned fixed part (221) may be formed as a single unit on the inner side of the opening and closing end of the upper cover (220).

[0107] At this time, a screw penetrating the front and rear plates (211a) (211b) may be coupled to the bent ends of the fixed part (221) of the present invention to maintain a closed state.

[0108] In addition, the fixing part (221) of the present invention may further include a pressure gasket (222) that elastically presses the lighting module (10) on the lower surface.

[0109] The above-mentioned pressure gasket (222) elastically cushions and pressurizes the lighting module (10) seated on the seating portion (214), and in response to the height deviation due to the size tolerance between the seating portion (214) and the fixing portion (221) when manufacturing the lower cover (210) and the upper cover (220), the lighting module (10) is fixed without movement or damage.

[0110] As described above, if the gap between the mounting portion (214) and the fixing portion (221) is wider than the appropriate range due to manufacturing tolerances, there is a risk that the lighting module (10) may move or deviate from the mounting position in the absence of the gaskets. If the gap between the mounting portion (214) and the fixing portion (221) is narrower than the appropriate range due to manufacturing tolerances, the lower cover (210) and the upper cover (220) may not close, or the fixing portion (221) may excessively press the lighting module (10) mounted on the mounting portion (214), thereby deforming or damaging the shape of the lighting module (10). The gaskets of the present invention can resolve these problems.

[0111] The upper cover (220) of the present invention may be connected to one or both sides of the hinge joint (230) and rotated to open and close.

[0112] As shown in the attached drawing Fig. 11, the hinge joint (230) of the present invention may have a joint groove (231) formed on each side formed along the longitudinal direction, into which a joint projection (223) with a circular cross-section formed along the upper longitudinal direction of the upper cover (220) is fitted.

[0113] As described above, when a coupling groove (231) is formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the hinge coupling part (230) of the present invention, the upper cover (220) is symmetrically rotatably coupled to both sides of the hinge coupling part (230), so that both sides can be opened and closed.

[0114] As the upper cover (220) can be opened and closed from both sides as described above, the upper cover (220) located in the direction where opening and closing is easy can be selectively opened to install or remove the lighting module (10).

[0115] In addition, as shown in the attached drawing Fig. 12, the fixed part (221) of the present invention may be provided with a + / - connection terminal (224) that is elastically connected to the power terminal (11) of the lighting module (10) on one side of the lower end.

[0116] The connection terminal (224) of the present invention may supply power to the lighting module (10) through the wire introduced via the support when the upper cover (220) is closed.

[0117] That is, when the upper cover (220) is covered while the lighting module (10) is seated on the above-mentioned mounting portion (214), the fixing portion (221) of the upper cover (220) presses and fixes the lighting module (10), and power supplied through the connection terminal (224) is supplied through the power terminal (11) of the lighting module (10), so that the lighting module (10) can operate without separate operation.

[0118] At this time, the connection terminal (224) of the present invention may be provided on a PCB (including an FPCB (flexible printed circuit board)) that is fixed along the length direction of one side of the lower end of the fixing part (221).

[0119] Additionally, it is preferable that the connection terminals (224) have + and - connection terminals spaced apart according to the number of lighting modules (10) arranged.

[0120] In addition, as shown in the attached drawings FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the hinge joint (230) of the present invention may be provided with a central seating portion (215) that extends vertically downward from a lower surface formed along the longitudinal direction and is bent toward the seating portion (214) of the two lower frames (212) (213).

[0121] The present invention allows the lighting module (10) to be mounted in two rows on the mounting portion (214) of one lower frame (212) and the central mounting portion (215) of one lower frame (212) and the mounting portion (214) and the central mounting portion (215) of the other lower frame (213), respectively, and at this time, the lighting module (10) can be installed or removed by selectively opening and closing the corresponding upper cover (220).

[0123] The technical features disclosed in each embodiment of the present invention are not limited to that embodiment only, and as long as they are not mutually incompatible, the technical features disclosed in each embodiment may be combined and applied to different embodiments.

[0124] Therefore, in each embodiment, the technical features are described primarily, but as long as the technical features are not mutually incompatible, they may be combined and applied together.

[0125] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and the attached drawings, and various modifications and variations may be possible from the perspective of those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be defined not only by the claims of this specification but also by equivalents thereof. Explanation of the symbols
