Abstract

A cooling assembly for cooling at least one light source of a light fixture is provided with at least a cooling fan configured to generate a cooling air flow; and at least with a flow-guiding element configured to convey the cooling air flow of the cooling fan and divide it into a primary flow adapted to mainly cool a first zone of the light source and at least a secondary flow adapted to mainly cool a second zone of the light source, at least partially distinct from the first zone.

Claims (23)

1. Cooling assembly for cooling at least one light source of a light fixture comprising:

at least one cooling fan configured to produce a cooling air flow; and

at least one flow-guiding element configured to guide the cooling air flow of the cooling fan and divide it into a primary air flow, able to mainly cool a first zone of the light source, and at least a secondary air flow, able to mainly cool a second zone of the light source, at least in part distinct from the first zone;

wherein the cooling fan and the flow-guiding element are supported by a supporting plate of the light fixture;

wherein the flow-guiding element comprises at least one main fin provided with a first portion and a second portion arranged in succession along the cooling air flow direction;

wherein the second portion is provided with at least one through hole.

2. Cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion is inclined with respect to the first portion at an angle.

3. Cooling assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the angle is comprised between 60° and 85°.

4. Cooling assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the angle is equal to 70°.

5. Cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a curved section proximal to the first portion.

6. Cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the flow-guiding element comprises a plate substantially C-folded and arranged so as to define a channel with the at least one main fin.

7. Cooling assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the flow-guiding element comprises two further lateral fins coupled to the opposite sides of the plate and shaped so as to be coupled to the light source.

8. Cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the flow-guiding element comprises two or more distinct fins having different deflections and arranged along the cooling air flow of the cooling fan.

9. Cooling assembly according to claim 1 , comprising at least two further cooling fans arranged at opposite sides of the light source; one of the further cooling fans being configured to produce a further cooling air flow towards the light source; the other of the further cooling fans being configured to evacuate the further cooling air flow outside the light fixture.

10. Light fixture comprising a casing, the light source arranged inside the casing and able to produce a light beam, and a cooling assembly as claimed in claim 1 .

11. Cooling assembly for cooling at least one light source of a light fixture comprising:

at least one cooling fan configured to produce a cooling air flow; and

at least one flow-guiding element configured to guide the cooling air flow of the cooling fan and divide it into a primary air flow, able to mainly cool a first zone of the light source, and at least a secondary air flow, able to mainly cool a second zone of the light source, at least in part distinct from the first zone;

wherein the cooling fan and the flow-guiding element are supported by a supporting plate of the light fixture;

wherein the flow-guiding element comprises at least one main fin provided with a first portion and a second portion arranged in succession along the cooling air flow direction;

wherein the first portion is inclined with respect to the supporting plate at a angle.

12. Cooling assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the angle is comprised between 6° and 12°.

13. Cooling assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the angle is equal to 9°.
