Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This application relates to light fixtures and retrofit kits for light fixtures, and, more particularly, to light fixtures and retrofit kits with a wireless module holder.

BACKGROUND

Many traditional light fixtures are not “smart” enabled, meaning that they are not connected to other devices or networks via different wireless protocols (e.g., Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, near field communication, LiFi, 3G, etc.) and as such cannot operate interactively and/or autonomously. Moreover, traditional light fixtures are often difficult to retrofit with Bluetooth or other wireless capabilities because such changes require modifying the light fixture in the field, which in most cases requires an inspector to be on site and approve the modifications. Therefore, there is still a need for a system that can provide for easy installation of a wireless communication module into a new or existing light fixture.

Embodiments of the present invention are not intended to be limited to the particulars of the light fixtures themselves.

Referring to FIGS. 1-8, a wireless holder 100 for a light fixture generally includes a base 102 and a housing 104. In various examples, at least the housing 104 is constructed from a wirelessly transparent (i.e., non-metallic) material, meaning that a wireless signal can be transmitted through the housing 104. For example, the housing 104 may be made of a molded polymer such as polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or another suitable material or combination of materials. In some examples, the base 102 may also be constructed from a wirelessly transparent material, although it need not be in other examples. In the example of FIGS. 1-8, the base 102 and housing 104 both have a substantially rectangular shape. In other examples, the base 102 and housing 104 may assume any workable geometrical shapes.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the base 102 includes a first side 128 and a second side 130 that is opposite from the first side 128. When the base 102 is assembled with the housing 104, the second side 130 faces the housing 104. A wiring aperture 136 is optionally defined through the base 102. In some optional examples, the base 102 includes a flange 138, although in other examples, the flange 138 may be omitted.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 3-6, the housing 104 includes a first side 132 and a second side 134 opposite from the first side 132. In some examples, the housing 104 defines a housing chamber 106 having a chamber surface 108. Optionally, an opening 140 to the housing chamber 106 is defined in the first side 132. In various examples, a wireless communication module (see, e.g., the wireless communication module 922 shown in FIGS. 10, 12, and 13) may be positioned within the housing chamber 106. While the housing chamber 106 is shown having a substantially rectangular shape, it could assume other geometrical shapes in other examples.

In some examples, the housing 104 includes at least one spacer 110 that supports the wireless communication module within the housing chamber 106. When positioned on the spacer 110, the wireless communication module is spaced apart from the chamber surface 108. In the example of FIGS. 1-8, the housing chamber 106 includes three spacers 110, although in other examples, any desired number of spacers may be provided. In some cases, the spacers 110 may be omitted, and the wireless communication module is positioned on the chamber surface 108 within the housing chamber 106. When the spacers 110 are provided, the spacers 110 may optionally define a mounting configuration for the wireless communication module such that the wireless communication module can only be positioned within the housing chamber 106 in a certain configuration. The at least one spacer 110 may be monolithically formed with the housing 104 as a unitary component, or it may be a separate component that is secured in the housing chamber 106 through various suitable joining mechanisms.

In various examples, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, the housing 104 includes a module holder 112 that selectively retains the wireless communication module within the housing chamber 106. The module holder 112 is movable relative to the housing 104 between a locked position and an unlocked position as represented by arrow 114 in FIG. 5. In some examples, the module holder 112 is movable relative to the housing 104 through a living hinge; however, in other examples, the module holder 112 may be connected to the housing 104 through various other suitable mechanisms such that the module holder 112 is movable relative to the housing 104.

FIGS. 3 and 5 both illustrate the module holder 112 in the unlocked position. FIG. 4 illustrates the housing 102 with the module holder 112 in the locked position, and as such the module holder 112 is not visible in FIG. 4. In the locked position, the module holder 112 may at least partially cover the housing chamber 106. In some examples, as best illustrated in FIG. 3, a portion of the housing 104 opposite from the module holder 112 optionally defines a receiving groove 116 that receives a portion of the module holder 112 when the module holder 112 is in the locked position. In various examples, a locking mechanism 118 is optionally provided to selectively retain the module holder 112 in the locked position. The locking mechanism 118 may include any of various suitable mechanisms for selectively engaging the module holder such as snap-fit connectors, clips, clasps, hooks, ribs, snaps, pins, hook and loop fasteners, combinations thereof, or various other suitable mechanisms. Depending on the type of locking mechanism 118, the module holder 112 may optionally include a complementary locking mechanism 120 that engages the locking mechanism 118.

In certain embodiments, at least one spacer 122 is provided on the module holder 112. In the example of FIGS. 1-8, the module holder 112 includes one spacer 122, although in other examples, any desired number of spacers 122 may be utilized. In some cases, the spacer 122 may be omitted. Similar to the spacer 110, the spacer 122 engages the wireless communication module within the housing chamber 106 such that the wireless communication module is spaced apart from a surface of the module holder 112. In various examples, the wireless communication module is retained within the housing chamber 106 between the spacer 110 and the spacer 122. The at least one spacer 122 may be monolithically formed with the module holder 112 as a unitary component, or it may be a separate component that is secured through various suitable joining mechanisms.

The housing 104 is removably attached to the base 102 such that the housing 104 can be selectively connected with or disconnected from the base 102. In various examples, the base 102 and the housing 104 of the wireless holder 100 may only be assembled in one configuration, which reduces or eliminates assembly error. In the example of FIGS. 1-8, the housing 104 includes a pair of locking arms 124 that selectively engage a corresponding pair of locking indentations 126 on the base 102 through a snap-fit connection. In other examples, the locking arms 124, the locking indentations 126, or both may be omitted, and the housing 104 may be removably attached to the base 102 through other suitable mechanisms such as snaps, hooks, pins, hook and loop fasteners, bolts, combinations thereof, or various other suitable mechanisms. In some examples, the locations of the locking arms 124 and the locking indentations 126 may be reversed, with the locking arms 124 being provided on the base 102 and the locking indentations being provided on the housing 104. In various examples, when the base 102 is assembled with the housing 104, the wiring aperture 136 may provide access to the housing chamber 106.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the wireless holder 100 is assembled, the first side 132 of the housing 104 is proximate to the second side 130 of the base 102. In certain examples, a gap 142 is defined between the housing 104 and the base 102. As described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 9-13, a portion of a housing of a light fixture is positioned within the gap 142 when the wireless holder 100 is assembled on the light fixture.

Referring to FIGS. 9-13, a light fixture 900 generally includes a housing 902 with one or more light sources, which may be LEDs 904 or other suitable light sources. In various examples, the light fixture 900 emits light from at least one light emitting side 906 of the fixture 900, and another side of the fixture 900 is a non-light emitting side 908 of the fixture 900 (because light is not directed toward that region of the light fixture). The light fixture 900 may commonly be mounted in or on a ceiling, a fixture support, or other suitable structure with the light-emitting side 906 facing downward into the space below, but this is not a requirement, and the light fixture 900 may be usable in any orientation.

In the example of FIGS. 9-13, the light fixture 900 is an edge-lit light fixture, and the housing 902 includes a base 910 and a cover 912. While the light fixture 900 is described as an edge-lit light fixture, in other examples, the light fixture may be various other types of light fixtures. Moreover, the geometries of the various components of the light fixture 900 shown in FIGS. 9-13 should not be considered limiting on the current disclosure.

An optic 914 (such as a lens, diffuser, or other suitable optic) and a reflector 916 are positioned within the housing 902 and adjacent to an opening 918 defined by the base 910. The optic 914, reflector 916, or both may be positioned through various mechanisms such as via snap-fitting onto the cover 912 or base 910 or through various other suitable connection mechanisms. The optic 914 can be made of any non-metallic material that permits light to exit through the optic 914, including, but not limited to, polymeric materials, glass, silicone and various other suitable materials for light distribution.

In some examples, the LEDs 904 are mounted on the housing 902 adjacent to a portion of an edge of the optic 914. In such cases, the optic 914 is also a light guide; however, in other examples, a separate light guide may be provided in addition to the optic 914, and the LEDs 904 may be positioned adjacent to at least a portion of an edge of the light guide. When the light guide is a separate component, the light guide may be made of any of various suitable materials for directing the light source emission including, but not limited to, air, polymers, glass, various transparent materials, or various other suitable materials or combinations of materials. In some examples, the light source emission from the LEDs 904 is directly into the optic 914. In other examples, an optical diverter is provided between the LEDs 904 and the optic 914 such that the light source emission from the LEDs 904 is directed to the optic 914 through the optical diverter. In further examples, the light fixture 900 need not be an edge-lit luminaire, and the LEDs 904 may be provided at other locations on the housing 902.

The LEDs 904 are shown provided on printed circuit boards 920 (“PCBs”). In some cases, the PCBs 920 with LEDs 904 are supported on the base 910, although they need not be in other examples. In the example of FIGS. 9-13, the light fixture 900 includes three PCBs 920 having LEDs 904. However, in other embodiments no PCB 920 is needed; rather, the LEDs 904 are chip-on-board LEDs provided directly on the housing 902. In further examples, any number of PCBs 920 may be provided, such as one PCB, two PCBs, or more than three PCBs. The LEDs 904 may include any of various types of LEDs including single-die LEDs, multi-die LEDs, direct current (DC) LEDs, alternating current (AC) LEDs, organic light emitting diodes, or various other suitable LEDs or combinations of LED types. White, color, or multicolor LEDs may be used. Moreover, the LEDs 904 need not all be the same color or type; rather, mixtures of different colors and types of LEDs may be used, in any workable combination.

As illustrated in FIGS. 10, 12, and 13, a wireless communication module 922 is positioned within the housing chamber 106 of the wireless holder 100. The wireless communication module 922 may include an antenna and a controller, although it need not in other examples. As mentioned previously, while the wireless communication module 922 is described as a BLE module, in other examples, the wireless communication module 922 may be various other types of modules having the capability to communicate wirelessly according to a Wi-Fi®, NFC, LiFi, 3G, or other standardized or proprietary wireless protocols.

The wireless holder 100 is removably attached to the housing 902 such that the light fixture 900 can be “smart” enabled through the wireless communication module 922. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 9-13, the wireless holder 100 is removably attached to the base 910. As best illustrated in FIGS. 10, 12, and 13, in various examples, the wireless holder 100 is attached to the housing 902 such that the base 102 of the wireless holder 100 is on the non-light emitting side 908 of the housing 902 and the housing 104 is on the light-emitting side 906 of the housing 902. In such examples, a portion of the housing 104 (such as a portion of the base 910) is within the gap 142 defined by the wireless holder 100. In some cases, the wireless holder 100 is removably attached to the housing 902 such that the first side 132 of the housing 104 of the wireless holder 100 contacts the light-emitting side 906 of the base 910 of the light fixture 900 and the second side 130 of the base 102 of the wireless holder 110 contacts the non-light emitting side 908 of the base 910 of the light fixture 900.

In various examples, the base 102 of the wireless holder 100 may be permanently attached to the housing 902 or may be removably attached to the housing 902. In some examples, the housing 104 can be detached from the base 102 such that the housing 104 and/or wireless communication module 922 can be repaired or replaced as desired without removing the base 102 or disassembling the light fixture 900.

As mentioned, the wireless holder 100 may allow for the light fixture 900 to be “smart” enabled. For example, the light fixture 900 may be controllable through a handheld wireless device such as a smartphone, to dim the light fixture 900, cause the light fixture 900 to change the color temperature of the light it emits, or to control other aspects of the operation of the light fixture 900. In addition, the base 102 and the housing 104 of the wireless holder 100 may only be assembled in one configuration, which reduces or eliminates assembly error. Positioning the wireless holder 100 such that the housing 104 is on the light-emitting side 906 of the light fixture 900 may also allow for maximum signal strength from the wireless communication module 922 to a user's device below.

FIGS. 14-20 illustrate another example of a wireless holder 1400. The wireless holder 1400 is substantially similar to the wireless holder 100 and includes a housing 104. Unlike the wireless holder 100, the wireless holder 1400 optionally does not include a base (such as the base 102) that connects with the housing 104. In addition, compared to the wireless holder 100 where the module holder 112 spans a length of the housing 104 and/or housing chamber 106 in the locked position, the module holder 112 of the wireless holder 1400 spans a width of the housing 104 and/or housing chamber 106 in the locked position (see FIG. 17).

In various examples, as illustrated in FIGS. 14-20, the housing 104 of the wireless holder 1400 optionally includes support arms 1402, guides 1404, and/or a locking feature 1406. In certain cases, the support arms 1402 engage a housing 1408 of a light fixture 1410 by inserting the support arms 1402 into an opening 1412 of the light fixture 1410 such that the support arms 1402 at least partially overlap a portion of the housing 1408. In some cases, the support arms 1402 may allow for the wireless holder 1400 to be pivotable relative to the housing. In various examples and as best illustrated in FIG. 20, the guides 1404 may assist in the positioning and alignment of the wireless holder 1400 relative to the housing 104. In some examples, the guides 1404 may at least partially extend into the opening 1412, although they need not in other examples. The number, position, and shape of the support arms 1402 and/or the guides 1404 should not be considered limiting on the current disclosure. In certain aspects, the locking feature 1406 may cooperate with a corresponding locking feature 1414 on the light fixture 1408 such that the position of the wireless holder 1400 relative to the light fixture 1408 can be selectively fixed. In the example of FIGS. 18-20, the locking features 1406 and 1414 are apertures that are configured to receive a screw, bolt, or other suitable fastening device. In other examples, various other types of locking features may be utilized.

The above-described aspects are merely possible examples of implementations, merely set forth for a clear understanding of the principles of the present disclosure. Many variations and modifications can be made to the above-described embodiment(s) without departing substantially from the spirit and principles of the present disclosure. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of the present disclosure, and all possible claims to individual aspects or combinations of elements or steps are intended to be supported by the present disclosure. Moreover, although specific terms are employed herein, as well as in the claims that follow, they are used only in a generic and descriptive sense, and not for the purposes of limiting the described invention, nor the claims that follow.
