MODULAR CONNECTORS FOR LIGHTING DEVICE ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F21K9/272 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to lighting engineering and can be used for elongated tubular lighting devices. Device includes a body, the length of which is determined by the distance between its spaced apart first and second ends. This tubular lighting device is equipped with an elongated heat sink and a light source containing LED emitters, as well as first and second connectors, respectively, on the first and second ends of the lamp body for fixing the lighting assembly assembled on the lighting fixtures. First connector includes first and second component parts interacting with each other and characterized by presence of first and second surfaces. First and second component parts of connector are made so that first and second surfaces are in counter position, preventing separation of first and second component parts of connector, when lamp housing is in working condition in engagement position, as a result of displacement of the first component part of the connector relative to the second component part of the connector in a substantially rectilinear path, perpendicular to the length of the lamp body, from the position in which it is completely separated from the second component part of the connector, into the engagement position. First component of connector comprises current-conducting power pins and current-conducting grounding pin, and the second component part of connector contains current-conducting power outputs and grounding conductor output, intended for connection to external power supply and providing grounding circuit of lamp elements. Power pins and the grounding pin of the first connector component are configured to engage with the power terminals and the grounding terminal of the second connector component as a result of displacement of first component of connector relative to second component part of connector into engagement position. There is also a connecting chuck designed to connect the end of a linear LED lamp, through which no power is supplied, with lighting fixtures.

EFFECT: technical result is a wider range of equipment.
