Abstract

A ceiling mounted airway device with illumination, which includes a main housing, a lamp and a lamp fixing part to detachably fix the lamp to an inner wall of the main housing. The main housing includes: a first opening for exhausting air out of the main housing; and a second opening for sucking air into the main housing. The lamp includes: an electrically conductive contact terminal located at an upper end of the lamp and electrically powered via the lamp fixing part; and a flange protruding from a surface of the lamp and located below the electrically conductive contact terminal. The device further includes a shield for supporting the flange which is substantially in form of a cylinder and surrounds the electrically conductive contact terminal and the lamp fixing part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A ceiling mounted airway device with illumination, comprising a main housing, a lamp and a lamp fixing part intended to detachably fix the lamp to an inner wall of the main housing, wherein the main housing comprises:
a first opening for exhausting air out of the main housing; and
a second opening for sucking air into the main housing, and
the lamp comprises:
an electrically conductive contact terminal which is located at an upper end of the lamp and electrically powered via the lamp fixing part; and
a flange protruding from a surface of the lamp and located below the electrically conductive contact terminal,
wherein the ceiling mounted airway device with illumination further comprises a shield for supporting the flange, which is substantially in form of a cylinder and surrounds the electrically conductive contact terminal and the lamp fixing part.

2. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
an upper end and a lower end of the shield respectively form an upper end opening and a lower end opening,
an inner diameter of the shield is larger than an outer diameter of the flange of the lamp,
the lower end opening of the shield is provided below the flange of the lamp, and
the shield is provided with a support structure for supporting the flange of the lamp.

3. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein the flange is annular.

4. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
a central axis of the shield coincides with an central axis of the lamp.

5. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
the flange of the lamp is located below the lamp fixing part and the lower end opening of the shield is located below the flange of the lamp,
a light emitting part of the lamp is located at a lower end of the lamp, and the lower end opening of the shield is located above the light emitting part.

6. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 2 , wherein
the support structure is integrally formed with the shield, and the support structure comprises an elastic tab projecting from the lower end of the shield or from a middle part of an inner wall of the shield toward the inside of the shield and extending downwardly in a height direction of the shield, a lower end of the elastic tab is provided with a hook projecting toward the inside of the shield.

7. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 2 , wherein
a lateral surface of the shield is provided with a recess recessed toward the outside of the shield,

8. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 6 , wherein
the hook is located below the flange of the lamp, and configured to be made contact with the flange of the lamp or spaced apart from the flange of the lamp by a certain distance in a vertical direction.

9. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 7 , wherein
the hook comprises a guide surface extending from a lower end to an upper end thereof and inclined toward the inside of the shield.

10. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 7 , wherein
an upper end of the hook is configured to be made contact with the flange of the lamp.

11. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 7 , wherein
the number of the elastic tab is at least two, and the number of the recesses is equal to that of the elastic tab.

12. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 7 , wherein
the number of the tab is two, and the two elastic tabs are arranged symmetrically with respect to a central axis of the shield.

13. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
the ceiling mounted airway device with illumination further comprises a blower for directing air from the second opening to the first opening.

14. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
the first opening is in communication with the outdoor through a duct.

15. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
the main housing comprises a light shielding plate for covering the first opening and a light shielding plate fixing part for fixing the light shielding plate.

16. The ceiling mounted airway device with illumination according to claim 1 , wherein
the second opening is provided below the main housing,
