Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a downlight module that includes a light source driving board, an isolating board, a lens module, a back housing, and an input power line. The light source driving board includes a light-emitting diode and a driving circuit. The isolating board has a through hole. The lens module includes a lens housing, wherein the light source driving board and the isolating board are disposed in the lens housing. The back housing covers the lens housing of the lens module. The back housing has an opening, wherein the melting temperature of the back housing is lower than the melting temperature of the lens housing. The input power line is connected with the light source driving board via the opening of the back housing and the through hole of the isolating board.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A downlight module, comprising, a light source driving board, comprising a light-emitting diode and a driving circuit; an isolating board, having a through hole; a lens module, comprising a lens housing, wherein the light source driving board and the isolating board are disposed in the lens housing; a back housing, covering the lens housing of the lens module, wherein the back housing has an opening, and the melting temperature of the back housing is lower than the melting temperature of the lens housing; and an input power line, wherein the input power line is connected with the light source driving board via the opening of the back housing and the through hole of the isolating board. 2. The downlight module according to the claim 1 , wherein the back housing is made from a material comprising polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 3. The downlight module according to the claim 1 , wherein the lens housing is light-transmissible. 4. The downlight module according to the claim 1 , wherein the lens module comprises a guiding and piloting structure for fixing the light source driving board and the isolating board. 5. The downlight module according to the claim 1 , wherein the input power line has a bent portion, and the back housing comprises a raised cap for accommodating the bent portion of the input power line. 6. The downlight module according to the claim 5 , wherein the bent portion has an angle of 70 degrees to 120 degrees. 7. The downlight module according to the claim 1 , wherein the isolating board has two through holes respectively configured to allow the passage of the live wire and the neutral wire of the input power line. 8. A downlight assembly, comprising, a light source driving board, comprising a light-emitting diode and a driving circuit; an isolating board, having a through hole; a lens module, comprising a lens housing, wherein the light source driving board and the isolating board are disposed in the lens housing; a back housing, covering the lens housing of the lens module, wherein the back housing has an opening, and the melting temperature of the back housing is lower than the melting temperature of melting temperature of the lens housing; an input power line, wherein the input power line is connected with the light source driving board via the opening of the back housing and the through hole of the isolating board; a rim, comprising a tubular sidewall; a clip element, wherein the clip element secures the back housing and the rim with each other; and a clamping spring, fixed on the tubular sidewall. 9. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the back housing is made from a material comprising polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 10. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the lens housing is light-transmissible. 11. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the lens module comprises a guiding and piloting structure for fixing the light source driving board and the isolating board. 12. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the input power line has a bent portion, and the back housing comprises a raised cap for accommodating the bent portion of the input power line. 13. The downlight assembly according to the claim 12 , wherein the bent portion has an angle of 70 degrees to 120 degrees. 14. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the isolating board has two through holes respectively configured to allow the passage of the live wire and the neutral wire of the input power line. 15. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the rim is a circular rim. 16. The downlight assembly according to the claim 8 , wherein the rim is a square rim.
