Abstract

An assembly structure of light-guiding cover is used in a lighting device. The lighting device comprises a light-emitting element. The assembly structure comprises a casing and a light-guiding cover. The casing has a receiving recess and a first engaging groove and a second engaging groove opposite to the first engaging groove, the light-emitting element is disposed within the receiving recess, and the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove are located at opposite two sides of the receiving recess. The light-guiding cover covers the receiving recess and has at least one aperture corresponding to the light-emitting element, wherein the light-guiding cover comprises a first engaging sheet and a second engaging sheet. The first engaging sheet is engaged with the first engaging groove. The second engaging sheet is disposed opposite to the first engaging sheet and engaged with the second engaging groove.

Claims (40)

1. An assembly structure of light-guiding cover used in a lighting device that includes a light-emitting element, the assembly structure of light-guiding cover comprising:

a casing having a receiving recess and a first engaging groove and a second engaging groove opposite to the first engaging groove, wherein the light-emitting element is disposed within the receiving recess, and the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove are located at opposite two sides of the receiving recess; and

a light-guiding cover covering the receiving recess and having at least one aperture corresponding to the light-emitting element, wherein the light-guiding cover comprises:

a first engaging piece engaging with the first engaging groove; and

a second engaging piece is disposed opposite to the first engaging piece and engaged with the second engaging groove.

2. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 1 , wherein the light-guiding cover is a flexible light-guiding cover.

3. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 1 , wherein the light-guiding cover comprises:

a sheet body having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge,

wherein the first engaging piece and the second engaging piece are extended outward from the first edge and the second edge, respectively.

4. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 3 , wherein the first engaging piece comprises:

a first extension extended toward a light-emitting direction of the lighting device from the first edge; and

a second extension extended toward the first engaging groove from the first extension to an inside of the first engaging groove.

5. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 3 , wherein the second engaging piece comprises:

a third extension extended toward a light-emitting direction of the lighting device from the second edge; and

a fourth extension extended toward the second engaging groove from the third extension to an inside of the second engaging groove.

6. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first engaging piece and the second engaging piece have a first through hole and a second through hole respectively, and the assembly structure of light-guiding cover further comprises:

an anti-drop element connected to the first through hole and the second through hole.

7. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 6 , wherein the anti-drop element is a wire structure, and two end of the wire structure passing through an outer surface of the casing are connected to the first through hole and the second through hole respectively.

8. The assembly structure of light-guiding cover according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting device comprises a plurality of the light-emitting element, and the aperture corresponds at least one portion of the light-emitting elements.

9. A lighting device comprising:

a light-emitting element; and

an assembly structure of light-guiding cover comprising:

a casing having a receiving recess and a first engaging groove and a second engaging groove opposite to the first engaging groove, the light-emitting element is disposed within the receiving recess, and the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove are located opposite two sides of the receiving recess; and

a light-guiding cover covering the receiving recess and having at least one aperture corresponding to the light-emitting element, wherein the light-guiding cover covering comprises:

a first engaging piece engaging with the first engaging groove; and

a second engaging piece is disposed opposite to the first engaging piece and engaging with the second engaging groove.

10. The lighting device according to claim 9 , wherein the light-guiding cover is a flexible light-guiding cover.

11. The lighting device according to claim 9 , wherein the light-guiding cover comprises:

a sheet body having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge,

wherein the first engaging piece and the second engaging piece are extended outward from the first edge and the second edge respectively.

12. The lighting device according to claim 11 , wherein the first engaging piece comprises:

a first extension extended toward a light-emitting direction of the lighting device from the first edge; and

a second extension extended toward the first engaging groove from the first extension to an inside of the first engaging groove.

13. The lighting device according to claim 11 , wherein the second engaging piece comprises:

a third extension extended toward a light-emitting direction of the lighting device from the second edge; and

a fourth extension extended toward the second engaging groove from the third extension to an inside of the second engaging groove.

14. The lighting device according to claim 9 , wherein the first engaging piece and the second engaging piece have a first through hole and a second through hole respectively, and the assembly structure of light-guiding cover further comprises:

an anti-drop element connected to the first through hole and the second through hole.

15. The lighting device according to claim 14 , wherein the anti-drop element is a wire structure, and two end of the wire structure passing through an outer surface of the casing are connected to the first through hole and the second through hole respectively.

16. The lighting device according to claim 9 , wherein the lighting device comprises a plurality of the light-emitting element, and the aperture corresponds at least one portion of the light-emitting elements.
