DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(10) FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective schematic views of a ventilator according to the first embodiment of the present invention in different views; and FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective schematic views of a light-emitting unit in the first embodiment of the present invention in different views.

(11) As shown in the Figures, the ventilator illumination device 10 in the present disclosure comprises a light-emitting module having an illumination louver 11 and a reflective cover 12 for housing a light-emitting unit 20 and a power box module for housing a power supply supplying direct current for the light-emitting unit 20, wherein an anti-reversal installation structure is provided on the light-emitting module and the power box module, the anti-reversal installation structure limiting the light-emitting unit 20 to be installed only in a state that the light-emitting unit 20 faces towards one predetermined direction.

(12) The light-emitting unit 20 consists of a lamp holder 21, a lamp tube 22 and light-emitting chips 23 arranged on one surface of the lamp tube 22. In the present disclosure, an LED lamp is taken as an example to illustrate, that is, the light-emitting unit 20 is an LED lamp, consisting of a lamp holder 21, a lamp tube 22 and LED light-emitting chips 23 arranged on one surface of the lamp tube 22.

(13) The power box module comprises a power box body 31 and a socket 32 provided in the power box body 31 for insertion of the lamp holder 21 of the LED lamp; the power box module is fixed onto the light-emitting module, and supplies power for the above LED lamp via a cable, so as to form an illumination device.

(14) The LED light-emitting chips 23 are arranged on a bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp, a plurality of radiation ribs 26 parallel to each other may be provided on a top surface 25 of the LED lamp opposite to the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp for arranging the LED light-emitting chips 23.

(15) By means of the anti-reversal installation structure provided on the light-emitting module and the power box module for enabling the LED lamp to be installed only in a state that the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the illumination louver 11, the lamp holder 21 can be inserted into the socket 32 of the power box module only in a state that the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the illumination louver 11 when a user wants to fix the LED lamp.

(16) Thus, it ensures that the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the illumination louver 11 after the LED lamp is installed on the power box module, thereby the light emitted by the LED light-emitting chips 23 being directly irradiated into a room through the illumination louver 11.

(17) In the embodiment, the anti-reversal installation structure comprises a half-circle flange 27 provided on the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20 near to the lamp tube 22 and protruding lugs 33 provided on one surface of the power box body 31 near to the light-emitting module.

(18) The flange 27 is located at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20, the protruding lugs 33 are provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, and a projection of the protruding lugs 33 in a horizontal projection plane extends over a projection of the power box body 31 in the horizontal projection plane.

(19) In the present disclosure, a lower half-circle of the lamp holder 21 corresponding to the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp is referred to as the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21, and an upper half-circle of the lamp holder 21 corresponding to the top surface 25 of the LED lamp is referred to as the top 29 of the lamp holder 21. In other words, one side of the lamp holder 21 facing to the illumination louver 11 is referred to as the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21, and the other side of the lamp holder 21 facing to a roof is referred to as the top 29 of the lamp holder 21.

(20) If the half-circle flange 27 is provided at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21, then the protruding lugs 33 are provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, and a projection of the protruding lugs 33 in a horizontal projection plane extends over a projection of the power box body 31 in the horizontal projection plane (i.e., the protruding lugs 33 extend to the reflective cover 12 of the light-emitting module when the light-emitting module is connected to the power box body 31).

(21) When the user fixes the LED lamp, if the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the roof, the flange 27 provided at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21 will meet the protruding lugs 33 provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, as a result, the lamp holder 21 cannot continue to be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31.

(22) Thus, only if the user makes the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp face downward (i.e., face to the illumination louver 11), the flange 27 provided at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21 will not meet the protruding lugs 33 provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, thereby the lamp holder 21 may be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31.

(23) A positioning plate 35, which extends towards the light-emitting module over a distance shorter than the protruding lugs 33, is provided on the bottom 36 of the one surface of the power box body 31 near to the light-emitting module, and a gap 40 is kept between the positioning plate 35 and the flange 27 of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20 when the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20 is inserted into the socket 32.

(24) The positioning plate 35 may support a part of weight of the lamp holder 21, and both the positioning plate 35 provided on the bottom 36 of the power box body 31 and the protruding lugs 33 provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31 hold the lamp holder 21 and therefore the LED lamp. As a result, it prevents a tail of the lamp tube 22 from slightly falling to be excessively close to the illumination louver 11 due to a relatively large weight of the lamp tube 22, which will cause a significant difference of the light reflected to the illumination louver 11 in brightness (i.e., the light irradiated to the illumination louver 11 of the lamp tube 22 away from the lamp holder 21 of the LED lamp is brighter than that of the lamp tube 22 adjacent to the lamp holder 21).

(25) Furthermore, since there is a gap 40 kept between the positioning plate 35 and the flange 27 of the lamp holder 21 of the LED lamp when the lamp holder 21 of the LED lamp is inserted into the socket 32, the flange 27 will not meet the positioning plate 35 during installation of the LED lamp, that is to say, the positioning plate 35 will not interfere with the installation of the LED lamp.

(26) Thereby, such a structure may prevent the light-emitting unit from being installed reversely, and maintain the brightness of the light of the light-emitting unit irradiated into the room and the uniformity of the light irradiated into the illumination louver, thereby improving the appearance.

(27) FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a ventilator according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As for the ventilator illumination device 50 according to the present embodiment, as shown in the Figure, it differs from the first embodiment in that a flange 51 is located at the top 29 of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20, protruding lugs 52 are provided at the bottom 36 of the power box body 31, and a projection of the protruding lugs 52 in a horizontal projection plane extends over a projection of the power box body 31 in the horizontal projection plane (i.e., the protruding lugs 52 extend to the illumination louver 11 of the light-emitting module when the light-emitting module is connected to the power box body 31).

(28) When the user fixes the LED lamp, if the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces upward, the flange 51 provided at the top 29 of the lamp holder 21 will meet the protruding lugs 52 provided at the bottom 36 of the power box body 31, as a result, the lamp holder 21 cannot continue to be inserted into the power box body 31.

(29) Thus, only if the user makes the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp face downward (i.e., face to the illumination louver 11), the flange 51 provided at the top 29 of the lamp holder 21 will not meet the protruding lugs 52 provided at the bottom 36 of the power box body 31, thereby the lamp holder 21 may be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31.

(30) Further, the protruding lugs 52 extending to the illumination louver 11 of the light-emitting module may support a part of weight of the lamp holder 21, and further hold the LED lamp. As a result, it prevents the tail of the lamp tube 22 from slightly falling to be excessively close to the illumination louver 11 due to a relatively large weight of the lamp tube 22, which will cause a significant difference of the light reflected to the illumination louver 11 in brightness, i.e., the light irradiated to the illumination louver 11 of the lamp tube away from the lamp holder 21 of the LED lamp is brighter than that of the lamp tube adjacent to the lamp holder 21.

(31) FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a ventilator according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As for the ventilator illumination device 60 according to the present embodiment, as shown in the Figure, the light-emitting unit 20 consists of a lamp holder 21, a lamp tube 22 and light-emitting chips (not shown) arranged on one surface of the lamp tube 22, and the power box module comprises a power box body 31 and a socket 32 provided in the power box body 31 for insertion of the lamp holder 21 of the light emitting unit 20; the anti-reversal installation structure comprises a protrusion 61 provided on a surface of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20 opposite to the socket 32 and a recess or opening 62 provided in the socket 32 and configured to correspond to the protrusion 61.

(32) When the user fixes the LED lamp, if the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the roof, the protrusion 61 of the lamp holder 21 will meet the wall of the socket, as a result, the lamp holder 21 cannot be inserted into the socket 32. Thus, only if the user makes the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp face downward (i.e., face to the illumination louver 11), the protrusion 61 of the lamp holder 21 will not meet the wall of the socket 32 (a part surrounding the hole of the socket 32), but be inserted into the recess or opening 62, thereby the lamp holder 21 may be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31. In such a way, it may prevent the light-emitting unit 20 from being installed reversely.

(33) FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a ventilator according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As for the ventilator illumination device 70 according to the present embodiment, as shown in the Figure, the light-emitting unit 20 consists of a lamp holder 21, a lamp tube 22 and light-emitting chips (not shown) arranged on one surface of the lamp tube 22, and the power box module comprises a power box body 31 and a socket 32 provided in the power box body 31 for insertion of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20; the anti-reversal installation structure comprises a recess or opening 72 provided in a surface of the lamp holder 21 of the light-emitting unit 20 opposite to the socket 32 and a protrusion 71 provided on the socket 32 and configured to be snapped into the recess or opening 72.

(34) As for installation method, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is similar to the third embodiment, and the operation principle of the fourth embodiment of the present invention is in accordance with the above described contents, which are omitted here.

(35) FIG. 7 is a schematic view of a ventilator according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the Figure, a flange 100 is formed in a discontinuous form.

(36) By means of the above structure, when the user fixes the LED lamp, if the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp faces to the roof, the flange 100 provided at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21 will meet the protruding lugs 33 provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, as a result, the lamp holder 21 cannot continue to be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31.

(37) Thus, only if the user makes the bottom surface 24 of the LED lamp face downward (i.e., face to the illumination louver 11), the flange 100 provided at the bottom 28 of the lamp holder 21 will not meet the protruding lugs 33 provided at the top 34 of the power box body 31, thereby the lamp holder 21 may be inserted into the socket 32 within the power box body 31.

(38) Furthermore, in contrast to the half-circle flange, the flange 100 is formed in a discontinuous form, which will reduce the amount of materials of the flange 100. In other words, the flange 100 can reduce cost with the same function and effect as the half-circle flange.
