Abstract

The application relates to a sensing device and a lighting device. The sensing device comprises a sensor provided with a glass window to transmit light and is configured to sense light incident upon the sensor; a circuit board, wherein one side of the circuit board is provided with the sensor; a Fresnel lens arranged above the sensor and configured to transmit light to the sensor; and a housing made from a flame-resistant material, wherein the housing comprises an accommodation space configured to accommodate the sensor and the circuit board, and the housing is provided with a center hole to expose the glass window. By adopting the technical solution, the sensor has flame-resistant performance.

Claims (30)

1. A sensing device, comprising:

a sensor (i) being provided with a glass window to transmit light and (ii) configured to sense light incident upon the sensor;

a circuit board having the sensor provided on a side of the circuit board;

a Fresnel lens (i) being arranged above the sensor (ii) and configured to transmit light to the sensor; and

a housing (i) being made from a flame-resistant material (ii) comprising an accommodation space being configured to accommodate the sensor and the circuit board; (iii) further comprising a top housing and a bottom housing matched with each other, the top housing being arranged on a side of the circuit board where the sensor is provided, and the bottom housing being arranged on a side opposite of where the sensor is provided on the circuit board; and (iv) being provided with a center hole that is arranged in the top housing to expose the glass window;

wherein at least a portion of the housing is arranged between the Fresnel lens and the circuit board.

2. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sealing body configured to separate the accommodation space from the outside of the housing, wherein the sealing body comprises:

a first sealing sheet, arranged between the top housing and the sensor, and is provided with an opening corresponding to the center hole of the top housing and the glass window to expose the glass window; and

a second sealing sheet, arranged between the bottom housing and the top housing.

3. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the top housing is provided with a first clipping structure;

the bottom housing is provided with a second clipping structure; and

the top housing and the bottom housing are fixed to each other by matching the first clipping structure with the second clipping structure.

4. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the bottom housing is provided with a groove;

an end, facing the bottom housing, of the top housing is provided with a flange; and

an opening end of the Fresnel lens is provided with a clipping structure; and

wherein the clipping structure is matched with the groove, and the flange of the top housing is clamped between the opening end of the Fresnel lens and the bottom housing.

5. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is provided with:

a driving circuit, configured to provide a driving current to the sensor.

6. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the sensor is a passive infrared sensor.

7. The sensing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is mounted on a diffusion hood of a lighting device and insulates heat generated by the sensor and a light source for lighting of the lighting device.

8. A lighting device comprising a lamp holder, a lamp body, a light source, a diffusion hood, a driver mounted in the lamp body, and a sensing device, the sensing device comprising:

a sensor (i) being provided with a glass window to transmit light and (ii) configured to sense light incident upon the sensor;

a circuit board having the sensor provided on a side of the circuit board;

a Fresnel lens (i) being arranged above the sensor (ii) and configured to transmit light to the sensor; and

a housing (i) being made from a flame-resistant material (ii) comprising an accommodation space being configured to accommodate the sensor and the circuit board; (iii) further comprising a top housing and a bottom housing matched with each other, the top housing being arranged on a side of the circuit board where the sensor is provided, and the bottom housing being arranged on a side opposite of where the sensor is provided on the circuit board; and (iv) being provided with a center hole that is arranged in the top housing to expose the glass window;

wherein at least a portion of the housing is arranged between the Fresnel lens and the circuit board.

9. The lighting device according to claim 8 , wherein the sensing device is supplied with operating power by a non-isolated driving circuit in the driver.
