Abstract

An LED lighting assembly includes an emitting-light apparatus, an inserting apparatus connected electrically to the emitting-light apparatus and a base cover received the emitting-light apparatus. The emitting-light apparatus includes a PCB and at least one LED unit welded on the PCB. The inserting apparatus includes a pedestal and at least two connecting springs received in the pedestal. The base cover has a first side groove and a second side groove. The two ends of the bottom of the base cover have a fixing gap and an inserting slot. The emitting-light apparatus is inserted into the second side groove, the inserting apparatus are inserted into the first side groove, the bottom of the pedestal is received in the fixing gap. The LED lighting assembly can link with another the same, and the distances of the LED units adjacent to other are same.

Claims (9)

1. An LED lighting assembly comprising:

an emitting-light apparatus having a printed circuit board (PCB) with a front surface and at least one LED unit mounted on the front surface of the PCB and connected electrically to the PCB;

a base cover having a pair of grooves for receiving the emitting-light apparatus; and

an inserting apparatus arranged beneath the PCB and slides into the base cover, the inserting apparatus being connected electrically to the PCB,

wherein the inserting apparatus further comprises a pedestal with an upper surface, a bottom, and at least two connecting springs received in the pedestal, the two sides of the pedestal are extended sideways to form two strip inserting ribs, the upper surface of the pedestal having two receiving grooves for receiving two connecting springs.

2. The LED lighting assembly as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the base cover has a first side groove, a second side groove, a bottom with two ends, and two inner side walls, the first and second side grooves being located on two inner side walls of the base cover and having a strip shape, the two ends of the bottom of the base cover has a fixing gap and an inserting slot, the emitting-light apparatus is inserted into the second side groove, the inserting apparatus having a inserting rib inserted into the first side groove, the bottom of the pedestal is received in the fixing gap, the bottom of the pedestal and the bottom of the base cover are leveled.

3. The LED lighting assembly as set forth in claim 2 , the LED lighting assembly further comprising a light guiding lens having a strip shape, the light guiding lens projects upwardly to form an emitting body with two sides, each side of the emitting body extending to form a fixing rib, a third side groove is opened in the inner side walls of the base cover, the fixing rib inserts into the third side groove and above the emitting-light apparatus.

4. The LED lighting assembly as set forth in claim 3 , further comprising a fixing dowel, a fixing hole is arranged in the PCB, a fastening hole is opened in the bottom of the base cover, the emitting-light apparatus is arranged in the base cover, the fixing dowel is inserted to the fastening hole and the fixing hole to fasten the emitting-light apparatus on the base cover.

5. The LED lighting assembly as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the PCB having two ends and each end having a bottom with connecting pins and welding points, the receiving grooves projects to form at least two fixing poles, the connecting springs are arranged in the receiving grooves, and each connecting spring has a hole which covers around the fixing pole, the connecting springs are welded with welding points, the base cover projects upwardly to form a convex strip, the PCB presses against the convex strip.
