Modular optical assembly and light emission system
View Patent ↗A light emission system includes fixture assembly including a chassis and a driver board. The Chassis includes a plurality of modular optical receptacles. The driver board is removably coupled to the chassis. The system further includes a plurality of modular optical assemblies each configured to removably couple to the fixture assembly at the modular optical receptacles. The modular optical assemblies include a lens unit including a reflector, a focusing lens, and an annular ridge between the reflector and the focusing lens. The modular optical assemblies further include a support ring including an annular ring, and a plurality of axial protrusions extending from the annular ring. The modular optical assemblies further include a bezel ring. The support ring is disposed between the bezel ring and the lens unit.
1. A light emission system, the system comprising:
a fixture assembly comprising:
a chassis comprising a plurality of modular optical receptacles; and
a driver board removably coupled to the chassis; and
a plurality of modular optical assemblies each configured to removably couple to the fixture assembly at the modular optical receptacles, each modular optical assembly comprising:
a lens unit comprising:
a reflector;
a focusing lens; and
an annular ridge between the reflector and the focusing lens;
a support ring comprising:
an annular ring;
a plurality of axial protrusions extending from the annular ring; and
a bezel ring, wherein the support ring is disposed between the bezel ring and the lens unit.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lens unit, the support ring and the bezel ring are collectively removable from the fixture assembly.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein each axial protrusion comprises a knob on a radially inwards side of the each axial protrusion.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reflector, the focusing lens, and the annular ridge of the lens unit are a unitary construction.
5. The system of claim 1 , the driver board comprising a plurality of drivers, wherein the chassis comprises a central channel, and wherein the driver board extends through the central channel from a first end of the chassis to a second end of the chassis.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein each modular optical receptacle includes an angled centering chamfer at an outermost edge of the each modular optical receptacle.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein each modular optical assembly further comprises a sealing device, and wherein the sealing device interfaces with the angled centering chamfer at the outermost edge of the each modular optical receptacle.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the bezel ring comprises a pair of bayonet slots.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein each modular optical receptacle includes a pair of bayonet pins.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lens unit, the support ring, and the bezel ring are coupled together by a radial interference fit.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the support ring further comprises an inner overhang at the annular ring.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein each axial protrusion comprises a knob on a radially inwards side of the each axial protrusion spaced from the inner overhang, forming a recess.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the annular ridge interfaces with the recess.
14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of modular emitting devices each configured to removably couple to the fixture assembly, each modular emitting device comprising:
a heat sink;
an emitting implement; and
an emitter board, wherein the emitter board is bonded to the heat sink.
15. An apparatus comprising:
a modular optical assembly collectively removable from a fixture assembly, the modular optical assembly comprising:
a lens unit comprising a reflector, a lens, and an annular ridge between the reflector and the lens;
a support ring comprising an annular ring, and a plurality of axial protrusions extending from the annular ring; and
a bezel ring, wherein the support ring is disposed between the bezel ring and the lens unit, wherein the bezel ring comprises a plurality of bayonet slots.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein:
the support ring further comprises an inner overhang at the annular ring;
each axial protrusion comprises a knob on a radially inwards side of the each axial protrusion spaced from the inner overhang, forming a recess; and
the annular ridge interfaces with the recess.
17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the lens unit, the support ring, and the bezel ring are coupled together by a radial interference fit.
18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the modular optical assembly further comprises a sealing device disposed on an outer race of the bezel ring.
19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the reflector, the lens, and the annular ridge of the lens unit are a unitary construction, and wherein the lens unit is a focusing lens.
