INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING DEVICE HAVING SENSING FUNCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an industrial lighting device, in particular to an industrial lighting device having sensing function.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The sensing functions of most of currently available industrial lighting devices (such as mining lamps, etc.) need to be realized by an external sensing base. However, the external sensing base will greatly increase the cost and manpower consumption in the manufacturing process of these industrial lighting device, Thus, the total cost of these industrial lighting devices is increased.

Most of the currently available industrial lighting devices with sensing function cannot provide the dimming function and the power regulation function at the same time, so the cost-performance ratio of these industrial lighting devices cannot be effectively increased. For the same reason, these industrial lighting devices cannot create great user experience.

The unified glare rating (UGR) of most currently available industrial lighting devices is between 28˜30, which cannot meet the technical requirements of the standard UGR (<19), so there industrial lighting devices cannot increase the market competitiveness thereof.

Most of the currently available industrial lighting devices have only one type of fixing element, and different fixing mechanisms can be realized through additional adapter elements. The aforementioned adapter elements would incur additional cost. Therefore, the currently available industrial lighting devices cannot meet actual requirements.

One end of the fixing element 14 is provided with external thread and the central fixing portion MP is provided with internal thread, such that the fixing element 14 can be detachably fixed at the central fixing portion MP. The above structure is just for illustration instead of limitation, the fixing element 14 can be detachably fixed at the central fixing portion MP via another connecting structure.

The light-emitting module 12 includes a heat radiator 121, a light source board 122 and a lens 123. In addition, the light-emitting module 12 further has a driving module installation hole H4.
