DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(12) Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more details with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it should be appreciated that, the present disclosure can be implemented in various ways and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided merely for more thoroughly understanding the present disclosure and enabling the scope of the present disclosure to be completely conveyed to those skilled in the art.

(13) In order to solve the technical problems above, an example of the present disclosure provides a light source apparatus which can be used in a home lighting device, and can also be used in shopping malls and outdoor advertising boxes.

(14) Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a light source apparatus 1 includes a light source assembly 11, a power source assembly 12 electrically connected with the light source assembly 11, a first end cap 13 and a second end cap 14. The light source assembly 11 includes a light source part 111 and a light diffuser 112, an interior of the light diffuser 112 is formed into a first receiving space 113 which extends along a lengthwise direction of the light diffuser 112 and penetrates the light diffuser 112, the light source part 111 is mounted in the first receiving space 113 along a lengthwise direction of the light diffuser 112. The power source assembly 12 includes a power source part 121 and a power source cover 122, an interior of the power source cover 122 is formed into a second receiving space 123 which extends along a lengthwise direction of the power source cover 122 and penetrates the power source cover 122, the power source part 121 is mounted in the second receiving space 123 along the lengthwise direction of the power source cover 122. Both of the light diffuser 112 and the power source cover 122 can be processed by using an extrusion molding technology. By using such technology, the mold can be simplified and the manufacture costs can be reduced.

(15) As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12 can be electrically connected with each other by using a wire 10 (as illustrated in FIG. 3); the light source part 111 includes a light source plate 1111, the power source part 121 includes a power source plate 120; in a case where one end of the light source assembly 11 is disposed side-by-side and aligned with one end of the power source assembly 12, the light source plate 111 is also disposed side-by-side and aligned with the power source plate 120, and the end of the light source plate 1111 and the end of the power source plate 120 that are disposed side-by-side and aligned with each other are connected to two ends of the wire 10, respectively, so as to achieve an electrical connection between the light source part 111 and the power source part 121, and hence to achieve an electrical connection between the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12. After electrically connecting the light source assembly 11 with the power source assembly 12, the wire 10 can be disposed inside the first end cap 13, so as to ensure the security of electrical connections. In this example, the wire 10 can be welded onto the light source plate 1111 and the power source plate 120, respectively, by way of welding, and can also be connected onto the light source plate 1111 and the power source plate 120 by using other ways.

(16) The first end cap 13 is sleeved at the end of the light source assembly 11 and the end of the power source assembly 12 which have been disposed side-by-side and aligned with each other. The second end cap 14 includes a fixing ring 141 and a fixing part 142; the fixing ring 141 passes through the light diffuser 112 along a lengthwise direction of the light diffuser 112 from the end of the light source assembly 11 which is not disposed side-by-side and aligned with the power source assembly 12, until the fixing part 142 of the second end cover 14 is sleeved at the other end of the power source cover 122, so as to achieve a fixed connection of the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12. Herein, both of the first end cap 13 and the second end cap 14 can be used for fixing the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12; by means of the cooperation between the first end cap and the second end cap, a firm connection of the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12 can be achieved.

(17) In the example of the present disclosure, in a case where the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12 are disposed side-by-side and aligned with each other, the light source part 111 and the power source part 121 achieve a parallel alignment therebetween, and the light diffuser 112 and the power source 122 also achieve a parallel alignment therebetween. Additionally, in this example, the light source assembly 11 can have a strip-shaped structure as illustrated in FIG. 1, and can also have other structures in other shapes such as a square-shaped structure.

(18) Here, the light source assembly and the power source assembly are disposed separately as illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, so that upon any one of the two assemblies being damaged, it can be conveniently replaced by a new one, which improves a utilization ratio of resources and a usage rate of the light source apparatus. Moreover, in the case where multiple light source apparatuses are connected in series, if the light source assembly in any of these light source apparatuses involves a problem and cannot work, other light source apparatus(s) connected thereto in series still can work normally without any influence as long as the power source assembly is not damaged.

(19) On the basis of FIG. 1, referring to FIG. 4, in an example of the present disclosure, the light source apparatus 1 further includes a magnet assembly 15. The magnet assembly 15 is fixed on the light source assembly 11, and is provided with a magnet 151 which allows the light source apparatus 1 to be adsorbed onto a base board (not illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4) of a lighting device. Thus, the light source apparatus 1 can be firmly fixed onto the base board of the lighting device without the need of using a conventional fixing manner such as screw and bolt, which facilitates mounting and disassembling between the light source apparatus 1 and the base board of the lighting device. The magnet 151 and the magnet assembly 15 can be fixed by bonding, screw fastening, welding and the like. Of course, in order to allow the magnet assembly 15 to be adsorbed onto the base board of the lighting device, the base board of the lighting device is required to be made by using a metallic material which can be adsorbed by a magnet, for example, a material such as iron and steel.

(20) In this example, the magnet assembly 15 can have a U-shaped structure. Two sides of the magnet assembly 15 having a U-shaped structure are provided with an elastic clamping element 152, respectively; a left side edge and a right side edge of the light diffuser 112 (illustrated in FIG. 2) along the lengthwise direction of the light diffuser 112 (illustrated in FIG. 2) each are clamped between the elastic clamping element 152 and a bottom side of the magnet assembly 15, so as to fix the magnet assembly 15 onto the light diffuser 112; a middle portion of the bottom side of the magnet assembly 15 having a U-shaped structure is provided with a strip-shaped slot 153, the strip-shaped slot 153 is fixed with a magnet 151. In this example, the magnet 151 has a circular structure; of course, the magnet 151 can also have other structures. The magnet 151 allows the magnet assembly 15 to be adsorbed onto the base board of the lighting device. Moreover, the magnet assembly 15 can also be fixed on the light diffuser 112 by other ways such as gluing, screw fastening and welding, without particularly limited in the examples of the present disclosure.

(21) Referring to FIG. 5, in an example of the present disclosure, an internal surface of the first receiving space 113 in the light diffuser 112 can be configured as a microstructure 1131 facing the light source part 11. The microstructure 1131 facilitates achieving a uniform light distribution of the light source assembly 11. In this example, the microstructure 1131 can be formed as a plurality of sharp teeth (as illustrated in FIG. 5), and can also be formed as a plurality of arc-shaped, convex ribs. A particular form of the microstructure is not limited in the examples of the present disclosure.

(22) On the basis of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, referring to FIG. 5, in an example of the present disclosure, the light source part 111 of the light source assembly 11 includes a light source plate 1111 and light-emitting elements 1112; the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12 are electrically connected with each other, and provide an electrical drive for the light-emitting elements 1112. The light-emitting elements 1112 are uniformly arranged on the light source plate 1111 along a length direction of the light source plate 1111. A left side and a right side of the first receiving space 113 along the lengthwise direction of the light diffuser 112 are provided with a groove 1131, respectively; a left side edge and a right side edge of the light source plate 1111 along the lengthwise direction of the light source plate 1111 are disposed in the groove 1131, respectively, so as to fix the light source plate 1111 in the light diffuser 112. An external rim of the groove 1131 can be exactly fixed between the elastic clamping element 152 of the magnet assembly 15 as illustrated in FIG. 4 and the bottom side of the magnet assembly 15, so as to firmly fix the magnet assembly 15 on the light source assembly 11.

(23) In this example, the light source plate 1111 can adopt a PCB board, and can also adopt other circuit boards. The light source plate 1111 can have a rectangular structure, and can also have other structures in other shapes. Using a rectangular-shaped structure facilitates jointing multiple light source plates 1111 together, and is convenient for processing the jointed plates, so as to facilitate improving the utilization ratio of materials for circuit boards and to reduce the manufacture costs. The light-emitting element 1112 can adopt a LED light source, and can also be a light source of other types, for example, an electroluminescent (EL) light source and the like. The shape, the material and the type of the light source of the light source plate 1111 mentioned in the present disclosure are not particularly limited.

(24) On the basis of FIG. 2, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in an example of the present disclosure, the first end cap 12 includes a light source assembly fixing part 131 and a power source assembly fixing part 132. An interior of the light source assembly fixing part 131 and an interior of the power source assembly fixing part 132 are provided with a first bevel hook 133 and a second bevel hook 134, respectively. In this example, the first bevel hook 133 and the second bevel hook 134 as illustrated in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are located at an internal, bottom side of the light source assembly fixing part 131 and the power source assembly fixing part 132, respectively. The first bevel hook 133 and the second bevel hook 134 can also be located at other positions of the light source assembly fixing part 131 and the power source assembly fixing part 132, respectively, which are not particularly limited in the examples of the present disclosure. The light diffuser 112 is disposed side-by-side and aligned with the power source cover 122; one end of the light diffuser 112 and one end of the power source cover 122 that are disposed side-by-side and aligned with each other are provided with a first through hole 114 corresponding to the first bevel hook 133 and a second through hole 124 corresponding to the second bevel hook 134, respectively. By allowing the first bevel hook 133 to be hooked in the first through hole 114, and by allowing the second bevel hook 134 to be hooked in the second through hole 124, the light diffuser 112 and the power source cover 122 can be fixed on the first end cap 13, respective. By means of the cooperation between the bevel hook and the through hole, it not only makes the connection between the first end cap 13 and each of the light diffuser 112 and the power source cover 122 more convenient, but also makes an assembling process of the first end cap 13 easier. At the same time, it also can prevent the wire 10 (as illustrated in FIG. 3) connecting the light source assembly 11 with the power source assembly 12 from being exposed to the outside, so as to effectively improve the safety of the light source assembly 11.

(25) On the basis of FIG. 2, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in an example of the present disclosure, a position of the first bevel hook 133 and a position of the second bevel hook 134 can be exchanged with a position of the corresponding first through hole 114 and a position of the corresponding second through hole 124, respectively; that is, the first bevel hook 133 and the second bevel hook 134 can be disposed on the light diffuser 112 and the poser source cover 122, respectively, and the first through hole 114 and the second through hole 124 can be disposed in the interior of the light source assembly fixing part 131 and the interior of the power source assembly fixing part 132, respectively; in such case, similarly, by means of the cooperation between the bevel hook and the through hole, it also can achieve fixing the light diffuser 112 and the power source 122 with the first end cap 13, respectively. This is not particularly limited in the examples of the present disclosure.

(26) In this example, in order to firmly fix the first end cap 13 on the light source assembly 11 and the power source assembly 12, the light source assembly fixing part 131 of the first end cap 13 can be configured to have a shape and a structure as same as that of the light diffuser 112, and an opening of the light source assembly fixing part 131 can be made slightly larger than an opening of the light diffuser 112.
