技术领域
本发明大体而言涉及电子和传输耦合装置，特别地涉及用于电子元件耦合的电导磁耦合装置。
背景
随着照明技术的发展，传统的各式电灯泡已逐渐被发光二极管(LED)所代替。与传统灯泡相比，LED可以减少能源消耗，延长使用寿命。鉴于这些原因，LED已被广泛地应用到越来越多的领域，如汽车、计算机及大量的电子产品中。
然而，现在仍然还有很多家庭和商业领域普遍使用传统的白炽灯和荧光灯，而未使用LED。其中一个原因就是成本问题。传统的灯泡价格低，且容易更换。当灯泡无法使用后，很容易就可以从底座上取下，再换上新的灯泡。然而目前，我们还没有可以替换白炽灯泡或荧光灯泡的“LED灯泡”。但由于LED灯的体积较小，它们经常成列地安装在电路板上，再通过硬连接应用到一些特殊领域，如交通灯或汽车的刹车灯组件。如果要更换LED阵列，我们就必须更换掉整个组件，而不仅仅是一个“灯泡”。这一操作非常复杂，也比较昂贵。
现在，荧光灯技术已应用成小型的荧光灯管形式，荧光灯安装在灯管中传统的螺纹底座上。但LED照明装置还没有这种形式。原因之一是控制LED照明的技术并不完全与螺纹底座相匹配。比如，调暗LED灯时，就要利用脉冲宽度模块化这一方式，而这一方式是很难在螺纹底座上实现的。除可调节、易配置的LED照明装置外，人们期望一种模块化的耦合装置，可以简化接收电和/或数据的电子元件的拆卸、更换和重新配置。
鉴于上述原因及其它一些考虑，特提交以下专利说明。
概要
本总览提出一系列简单概念，并在下文的详细说明中进行详细描述。本总述不用于判定所要求保护主题的关键特征或基本特征，也不用于限制所要求保护主题的范围。另外，所要求保护主题不仅仅局限于用于解决本说明书任何部分所注明的任何或所有缺陷。
在本发明的一方面，电导磁耦合装置由一个电力供应元件和一个电力消耗元件组成。电力供应元件中包含一个与电力消耗元件相连的、并将电信号传输到电力消耗元件上的机械装置。电力消耗元件包含一个相应的与电力供应元件相连的、并接收电信号的装置。这两个联接装置中，至少有一个装有导电磁铁，作为连接和电接触的双重功能使用。电力消费元件中还额外装有一个接收和使用电信号进行输出(如输出光能)的设备。
在本发明的另一方面，电导磁耦合装置包含一电力消耗元件和一带有许多平行轨道的电力供应元件。每一轨道的结构都确保可以向通过磁力连接在其上面的电力消耗元件提供电信号。电力消耗元件通过连接到轨道上任一部分的磁体接收电信号。这样，只要将电子元件的磁体放到轨道的所需位置上，就可以通过磁力耦合和电力连接将LED灯或任何其它电子元件连接到轨道的任何位置上。
在本发明的第三方面，电导磁耦合装置中包含一个电供应元件，上面有许多被弹性绝缘体包围的平行电导体。电力消耗元件中包含一个或多个穿过绝缘体与电导体接触的设备。一旦这些穿透设备与导体连接，电信号就会被引导到电力消耗装置(如LED照明装置)或其它电子元件中。在穿过绝缘体与电导体连接之前和连接过程中，绝缘体磁耦合装置将电力消耗元件固定在电力供应元件上。
根据本发明实施例的其它装置、仪器和方法，熟知此技术者可在阅读说明书和图纸后，更了解请求项中所列的申请专利发明的其它好处或其他目的。所有附加的装置、仪器和/或方法都包含在本说明和本公开范围中，并受到相应的申请范围的保护。

详细说明
以下为电导磁耦合装置的详细说明。如上所述，鉴于LED技术的高效率和超长寿命，LED照明系统可为广大消费者及商业部门提供长期的使用保证，但前提是这一系统必须模块化，可以做成可轻易更换的且价格相对较低的“LED灯泡”，而不是更换整个LED装置。
利用本专利申请所述之技术和概念，一种可以用于任何其它模块化电子元件上，作为模块化耦合装置使用的模块化固态发光照明解决方案，如LED照明系统，便构成一个电力/数据传输装置，与LED或其它元件通过磁性连接起来。电子和/或数据信号直接通过磁铁传送到相连的接收设备上。另外，本发明的一实施例中包括一电子耦合装置，向用户提供更灵活的解决方案。根据下文中所述的实施例，用户可在轨道装置上的任意位置安放照明或其它元件。这种方式比现有的轨道照明装置更加方便。在更换灯泡或照明装置的位置时，用户只须将元件从轨道上取下，就可断开磁力和电力连接。在更换或移动元件时，用户只须将新的元件放在期望的轨道位置上，进行磁力和电力连接。进行这一操作时，无须像拆卸或更换电灯泡一样卸下或转动螺丝，也无须拆卸任何凹凸部件。另外，本说明所述的电导磁耦合装置还能实现数据传输、脉宽调制及其它传输，用于控制照明元件的运行和特征。
以下将结合附图通过插图、特殊实施例或举例进行说明，所述附图构成说明书的一部分。附图为根据本发明各实施例所描述的电导磁耦合装置，且在所有附图中，相同的数字代表同一个部件。另外还须明确，在本公开中，各种实施例都是在LED或其它固态发光照明装置的背景下，以解释说明为目的的。然而，下文所描述的电导磁耦合装置也同样适用于任何其它电子元件上，以便通过磁铁简便快速地将元件与电力和/或数据源连接或分开。因此，本发明不局限于仅针对LED等发光元件上。
图1中描述的是电导磁耦合装置100的一个实施例。根据本实施例及所有其它描述，耦合装置100包括一电力供应元件102，向通过磁性连接到电力供应元件102上的电力消耗元件104提供电力和/或数据信号。电力消耗元件104对电力和/或数据信号进行转化，以实现照明LED光带或阵列的功能。本文将按本发明的各实施例，对电力供应元件102和电力消耗元件104的各种构造进行描述。图1-8中所示的实施例，电力供应元件102包括一个轨道装置106；电力消耗元件104包含一LED光带108。LED光带108通过磁性连接到轨道装置106中，以接收电源和/或数据。电导磁耦合装置100可以通过电源及控制模块110进行开关和管理。这一模块在提到图8时将进行更详细的描述。
根据本发明的各实施例，轨道装置106可包含各种长度的轨道，被设置成可以通过磁性与任何数量的对应LED光带108进行连接。在LED光带108与轨道装置106的末端接触后，可沿着轨道装置106的长度方向，在未被其它LED光带108占用的任意位置上，放置LED光带108。同样，任意数量的LED光带108都可以放置在轨道装置106上，使之相接或留有一定距离。很显然，只须简单地将LED光带108从轨道装置中拉出，再重新放置到所期望的位置上，或更简便地，直接将LED光带108沿着轨道装置106滑到期望的位置上，就可以通过将电力消耗元件104连接到电力供应元件102上的磁性装置，实现LED光带108或其它元件的重新定位。
现描述图2中的电导磁耦合装置100中的各个元件。根据本发明的各实施例，电力消耗元件104中包含了一个电力接收耦合装置204和一个电力消耗设备202。电力接收耦合装置204将电力消耗元件104连接到电力供应元件102上，并在电力供应元件102和电力消耗设备202之间传送电力和/或数据信号。电力消耗设备202中设有灯总成或其它的电子设备，以将电能转化成光能，或实现其它功能。
同样，电力供应元件102包含一电力分配联接装置208，与电力接收耦合装置204相连，将电力和/或数据从电源和控制模块108传送到电力消耗设备202上。根据本发明的各实施例，电力分配耦合装置208和电力接收耦合装置204可同为导磁体，也可以在一个装置中含有导磁体，而另一个装置中为铁或其它材料，与磁体相连，使之具备导电性质，实现电力和/或数据信号的传输。另一方案是，电力分配耦合装置208中设有磁耦合装置和单独的电源线，而电力接收耦合装置中也有磁耦合装置和单独的电源线，这两个磁耦合装置将两个元件联接在一起，能过电源线实现电子和数据信号的传输。
根据图2中电导磁耦合装置100的结构，电力消耗元件104中装有LED光带108。导磁体206的功能与电力接收耦合装置204一样，从轨道装置106中接收电力和/或数据。导磁体206的各种示例和说明见图3-5。电力消耗设备202包括一系列的LED总成207和相关电路。虽然图中LED光带108中包含一系列直线排列的LED总成207，须明白可能使用LED总成207的各种构造，以便按本公开范围的尺寸和形状对任意数量的LED总成207进行阵列布置。
根据图2中的构造，电力供应元件102中有一个轨道装置106，其中包含同为导磁体的两条轨道210。在描述图8时同样会提到，可能会使用额外的轨道210，用于在电力供应元件120和电力消耗元件104之间通过电力和控制模块110进行传输和控制。电力供应元件102中还包含一个轨道支架212，用于将轨道210固定在底座214内。须明确，电力供应元件102不仅仅局限于所示的结构。任意数量和结构的元件都可以用来支撑轨道210，使之与电力接收耦合装置204相连，将电力和/或数据传送到电力接收耦合装置204中。
以上为将LED光带108通过磁性固定到轨道装置106中的几个选择性实施例。首先，如上所述，电力接收耦合装置204和电力分配耦合装置208，或实施例中描述的轨道210，都可以为导磁体206。在这一实施例中，导磁体206的极性在按直线排列时，导磁体206A的裸露磁极与导磁轨道210B相同，而与导磁体206B和导磁轨道210A相反。这样，电导磁耦合装置100将LED光带108沿同一方向连接到轨道装置106中，实现直流电(DC)通过LED总成207的正确输送。
比如，在图2电导磁耦合装置100中，我们假设的是在导磁体206A和导磁轨道210B的结构中，北极裸露在外，而导磁体206B和导磁轨道210A设置成有裸露的南极。导磁体206A的北极连接到导磁轨道210A的南极上，但与导磁轨道210B的北极相斥。同样，导磁体206B的南极连接到导磁轨道210B的北极上，但与导磁轨道210A的北极相斥。这样，LED光带108只能按所示的方向连接到轨道装置106上。如果将LED光带108旋转180度，导磁体206B和210A就会相斥，同样206A和210B也会相斥。
将LED光带108通过磁力固定到轨道装置106中的另一选择性实施例为：使用位于电力供应元件102或电力消耗元件104上的导磁体，再用一种被吸到另一元件的磁体上的导电材料(如钢或其它金属)。比如图2中，电力接收耦合装置204可包含一导磁体206A和206B，而电力分配耦合装置208包含钢轨210A和210B。在这一实施例中，导磁体206A和206B分别被吸到钢轨210A和210B上，而且电力信号和数据信号都可以通过导磁体206A和206B在钢轨210A和210B以及LED总成207之间传输。另外还有一个选择性实施例是，电力接收耦合装置204可包含钢或任一种导电材料，被吸到包含导磁轨道210A和210B的电力分配耦合装置208中。
下面看图3-5，通过研究LED光带108的剖视图来说明各种实施例，以提供导磁体206。根据图3中的实施例，电力接收耦合装置204中包含两块导磁体206。须注意，只要不超出本专利公开的范围，可以使用任何数量的导磁体206。每个导磁体206中都有一磁体302和一导电涂层304。磁体302可以为稀土磁体、永久磁铁、陶质磁体、电磁体或任何其它类型的磁性材料。如果电导磁耦合装置100安装墙上或天花板上，磁体的强度必须能确保电力传送元件102和电力消耗元件104之间的连接可以支撑电力消耗元件104的重量，同时在卸下电力消耗元件104时，并不需要过多的力量就能将这一磁力连接断开。在某一实施例中，磁体302为一种钕磁。
包覆磁体302的导电涂层304可以为充分厚度的任何导电材料，但不能妨碍磁体302的连接，并实现电力信号和/或数据在电力分配耦合装置208和电力消耗设备202之间的常规传输路径。在一实施例中，导电涂层为镍涂层。须注意，导电涂层304可以将磁体302完全包覆起来，也可以部分地包覆，以便在其周围和/或穿过磁体302提供一导电路径。导电涂层304电气性连接到电力消耗设备202中的电路上，以运行LED总成207。
图4描述了导磁体204的两种选择性实施例。第一种选择性实施例使用了导磁体204，包含导磁体302和导电紧固件402。这一结构不是用导电涂层304来提供电力分配耦合装置208和电力消耗设备202之间的传导路径，而是利用上面的导电紧固件402将磁体302固定到电力消耗设备202上，并为电力和/或数据信号提供一个传导路径。例如，导电紧固件402可以为铆钉。这样在安装后，裸露的铆钉头与轨道210或其它电力分配耦合装置208接触。与铆钉头相反的一侧与电力消耗设备202内的电路相连，向LED总成207输入或接收电力和数据。
图4中的第二种选择性实施例使用的是导磁体204。这一导磁体注入了高密度的传导材料404，使磁体302为电力分配耦合装置208和电力消耗设备202之间提供一条传输电力和/或数据信号的路径。在这一实施例中，没有用到导电涂层304或导电紧固件402，因为磁体本身就可以实现轨道210和LED光带108内电路之间电力的连续传输。
图5是另一种选择性实施例。其中导磁体206中有一个磁罩500，内部嵌入一可伸缩导电磁头502。这一可伸缩导电磁头502偏向磁罩500内的凹进位置。当可伸缩导电磁头502暴露在导磁轨道210A或210B，或任何其它磁电分配耦合装置208的磁场中时，就会从磁罩500中延伸出来，直到与电力分配耦合装置208接触，以便向电力消耗设备202提供一条电力和/或数据信号的传输路径。可伸缩导电磁头502可以由一磁体302和导电涂层304构成，也可如上述由注入导电材料404的磁体302构成。
图5是两个实施例，其中可伸缩导电磁头502从磁罩500中延伸出。第一个实施例中，可伸缩导电磁头502从磁罩500中旋转而出，与磁电分配耦合装置208接触。第二个实施例中，可伸缩导电磁头502离开磁罩500，沿轴向向下延伸，与磁电分配耦合装置208接触。在这两个实施例中，可伸缩导电磁头502保持与和电力消耗设备202中的电路相连接的导电元件相接触。
从导电磁体204的描述中，我们可以清楚看出，各种实施例中的各个磁体302和相应的导电涂层304，导电紧固件402，以及/或所加入的导电材料404形成了一个单独的、互相连接的元件，发挥联结装置及导电装置的功能，将电力消耗元件104与导磁耦合装置100的电力供应元件102进行磁性及通信地耦合。这一点与传统的用磁体连接电力元件是不同的。传统的连接方式是利用磁体将元件结合在一起，使导电插脚排列在元件上，用于接触。传统应用中，磁体和电触头是分开的。对接元件上的电触头必须排成一列，并用磁铁固定在位置上。相比之下，导电磁体204既是一个连接装置，也能起到电触头的功能。由于不需要排列插脚或触头，它们可以放置在电力分配耦合装置208的任何位置上。这样，电力和/或数据信号就能越过轨道210，传送到连有导电磁体204的任何位置上。
再看图6和图7的底部透视图和分解图，描绘了以本专利公开实施例为准的LED光带108的各个元件。LED光带108包含一系列的与两套导电磁体206进行电气联接的LED总成207。当LED光带108中显示含有两套相邻的导电磁体206时，即认为可以使用任意数量的导电磁体206。一实施例表明，在大约一半的LED总成207上，电力和/或数据信号都是经由一对导电磁体206传输的，而另一对导电磁体与另一半的LED总成之间来回传输电力和/或数据信号。而在另一实施例中，每个导电磁体206都与同一轨道210相连，向装有LED总成207的电力消耗设备202中电路的同一极传递电力和/或数据信号。
磁垫片602用于将电力消耗设备202从导电磁体206上抬高，以在LED光带108和轨道210之间形成一层空隙。这一空隙可以帮助电力消耗设备202的热量管理。同样，导电磁体206还能起到散热器的作用，将热量从LED总成207引导到轨道210中。空气层还能防止导电触头与轨道210之间发生短路。从图7可以看到，铆钉702或其它紧固件可以用于将电力消耗设备202、磁垫片602，以及导电磁体206固定在一起。当然也可以使用其它的联结方式，如粘合剂或各种焊接技术。
图8为轨道装置802，其中电力供应元件102中有三条轨道810，而不是前面提到的两条轨道210。使用了第三条轨道810后，就可以在两条电力信号通道的基础上，增加一条数据通道。第三条通道还可帮助调制LED光带108。可以用各种调制技术，包括但不局限于脉冲宽度调制、脉冲波形调制、脉冲编码调制、平行脉冲编码调制以及比特相角调制技术，来控制LED总成207的亮度。
而且，数据还可以在电力和控制模块110及LED总成207之间传递，形成一个智能化照明装置，以根据LED的数量和环境参数使光输出达到最优化。电力和控制模块110中可装入各种微处理机和其它元件，用于驱动智能照明装置。在用与电力消耗元件104类似的方式将这一控制器模块化后，就可以很容易地更换电力和控制模块110，修复受损模块，或更改其性能。脉冲宽度调制操作和智能化照明装置的描述见上文提到的共同提交的专利申请：“PLC网络的SSL固定装置”、“能量管理装置”、“照明装置及组件”。所有这些申请都已以全文引用的方式并入本文中。
图9和图10分别为电导磁耦合装置900的平面图及透视图。这一装置用到了许多平行的被弹性绝缘体904包围的导电体902。与前面描述的轨道装置106类似，弹性绝缘体904充当一条弹性的“轨道”。弹性绝缘体904由具有弹性的材料制成，起到至少部分地防止液体渗入平行导电体902的作用，达到防水目的。这样，电导磁耦合装置900便可在廊道、甲板、水池甲板或室外景观等室外应用。电导磁耦合装置900内可装入任意数量的发光模块，如LED阵列906或任何其它类型的固态发光或其它电力消耗设备202，通过磁性连接到弹性轨道的任意位置上。在向所连接的电力消耗设备202传输电力和/或数据信号时，设备是紧靠轨道的，便于电力消耗设备202后部的穿透设备可以穿入弹性绝缘体904，与平行导电体902接触，以便提供电力和/或数据信号的传导路径。
在这一实施例中，上述的电力消耗设备202可作为一个或多个LED阵列906，通过磁或电连接到平行导电体902上。LED阵列906可以由任意数量的以任何形式排列的LED总成207组成。可以这样理解，在本专利的实施例中，电力消耗设备202可以包含任何数量的以任何形式排列的LED总成207，包括但不局限于单个的LED总成207，线状或条状的LED总成207，一组或多组LED总成207，或一大面板的LED总成207。这样，就可以按传统白炽灯或荧光灯的尺寸和形状制造“LED灯泡”。在图9-11B的应用中，LED阵列906中的内凹面908，刚好与弹性绝缘体904的外凸面910相接合。内凹面908和外凸面910中有传输通道，形状与平行导电体902的圆柱体形状相吻合。
如图11A和11B中，电导磁耦合装置900的电力分配耦合装置208和电力接收耦合装置204将作进一步的详细描述。如上所述，电力分配耦合装置208中有许多平行的导电体902。须注意，在电导磁耦合装置900中，可以根据期望的电力和/或控制信号使用两对、三对或任意数量的平行导电体902。平行导电体902中的电缆可为钢缆或其它导电电缆。可对平行导电体902进行涂层，如在钢缆上覆上铜，或在铜缆上覆上钢。具体操作时，可根据电导磁耦合装置900的设计标准，确定平行导电体902所用的材料和性质。
从图11A和11B中可以看到，根据图示实施的电力消耗设备202或LED阵列906中，存在许多绝缘穿透设备1102，其运作相当于电力接收耦合装置204。绝缘穿透设备1102可以是导电插脚，被设置成可以将电和/或数据信号从平行导电体902传送到LED总成207中。为形成一条电力和/或数据信号的传导路径，绝缘穿透设备1102挤压着穿过弹性绝缘体904的外表面，进入平行导电体902。弹性绝缘体904的材料必须不透水，以保护平行导电体902，使绝缘穿透设备1102可以用最小的力进行穿透，并具备充分的弹性，可以弹回并填充在弹性绝缘体904中，当LED阵列被拔出重置或更换时，穿透设备1102所形成的孔。合适的橡胶化合物制作的弹性绝缘体904便是一个例子。
在绝缘穿透设备1102的安装前或安装后，在固定LED阵列906时，可以使用磁铁将LED阵列906拉向平行导电体902。在一实施例中，绝缘穿透设备1102是一种与上述的导电磁体206相类似的导电磁体。另一实施例中，磁体被装在电力消耗设备202中，而与绝缘穿透设备1102分离。
参考图12A-12C，在电导磁耦合装置1200中，电力消耗元件104应用成一个LED灯泡阵列1202，电力供应元件102应用成螺纹底座1204。在这一构造中，螺纹底座1204中可包含一个电源和任何类型的传输和控制线路。电力接收耦合装置204充当一个外环接收磁铁1206和一个内环接收磁铁1208，等同于电导磁耦合装置100中的两个导电磁体206A和206B。同样，电力分配耦合装置208充当一个外环分配磁铁1210和一个内环分配磁铁1212，等同于上述的两条轨道210A和210B。上述所有关于导电磁体206和轨道210的概念和特性都适用于外环和内环接收磁铁1206和1208，以及外环和内环分配磁铁1210和1212。图12A-12C中所示结构的LED照明装置的其它特征，其描述见以全文引用的方式并入本文中的共同申请的美国专利“XXX”。
综上所述，本文描述的是电导磁耦合装置技术。所要求保护的主题仅仅是举例说明，不能解释为对权利要求的限制。同时，可对主题做各种修改或变更，而无须加入实施例或举例及描述的应用，且不偏离本发明在下文中的专利范围中提出的真实精神和范围。
