Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting installation technology, specifically to an easy-to-install cabinet light. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern home kitchen and custom cabinetry sector, recessed or concealed lighting designs are becoming increasingly popular. Cabinet lights (such as under-cabinet lights and shelf lights) are widely used due to their ability to provide precise and atmospheric functional lighting. These types of lights typically require pre-installation and fixation in specific locations inside the cabinet. As users' demands for convenience and DIY installation increase, the market is placing higher demands on the ease of installation, sturdiness, and convenience of later maintenance and replacement for cabinet lights. Currently, the installation structure design of cabinet lights is one of the key factors affecting user experience.

[0003] In existing technologies, some quick-installation solutions have emerged to simplify the installation of cabinet lights. One common approach is to use magnetic connection, which involves placing a magnet on the back of the light fixture and pre-installing an adsorption plate with iron material on the cabinet. During installation, the light fixture is placed close to the adsorption plate and fixed by magnetic attraction. Another approach is to design a buckle or hook structure on the light fixture, which corresponds to the pre-installed slots or hanging rods on the cabinet, and is fixed by simple plugging or hooking.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have some shortcomings in practical applications. First, although magnetic connections are convenient to install, they provide limited fixing force. When the lamps are subjected to external forces (such as wiping or accidental collisions), they are prone to displacement or even falling off, resulting in poor stability. Furthermore, they are not well-suited for heavier lamps or scenarios requiring long-term stable installation. Second, while the use of clips or hooks improves stability, it often requires precise alignment during installation. Moreover, the lack of effective guidance and self-locking mechanisms during insertion or hooking can lead to uneven installation or misalignment. More importantly, disassembling these structures usually requires directly prying the lamp body, which is inconvenient and carries the risk of damaging the lamp or cabinet surface.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs an easy-to-install cabinet light to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a cabinet light that is easy to install.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An easy-to-install cabinet light includes a cabinet light body and a pre-installed base, and further includes a spring-loaded mechanism, a guide mechanism, a stop structure, and a quick-release mechanism.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 An easy-to-install cabinet light includes a cabinet light body 1, which serves as the core lighting component of the entire light fixture, providing a basic light source and supporting other functional components. It also includes a pre-installed base 3, which serves as a mounting base fixed to the cabinet, providing a stable mounting foundation for the light fixture body. Furthermore, it includes a spring-loaded mechanism, a guiding mechanism, an abutment mechanism, and a quick-release mechanism. These functional components work together to achieve rapid installation and removal of the light fixture.

[0030] The spring mechanism is installed on the rear side of the cabinet light body 1. The spring mechanism is externally connected to a slide plate 5. The slide plate 5 serves as a connecting component, transmitting the movement of the spring mechanism to the L plate 9. The slide plate 5 is externally fixedly connected to the L plate 9. The L plate 9 serves as the main mounting connector, enabling the docking between the light fixture body and the pre-mounted base 3. The pre-mounted base 3 has an opening 10 on its exterior, which matches the L plate 9. The opening 10 serves as the insertion channel for the L plate 9, ensuring precise alignment during installation. The L plate 9 is externally fixedly connected to a first toothed plate 13. The first toothed plate 13 serves as a locking component, cooperating with the second toothed plate 17 to achieve horizontal fixation.

[0031] The abutting mechanism is installed on the inner side of the pre-installation base 3, and a fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the abutting mechanism. The fixing plate 16 serves as a support component, bearing the second toothed plate 17 and providing an elastic reset function. The second toothed plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing plate 16, and the second toothed plate 17 meshes with the first toothed plate 13. The second toothed plate 17 serves as a locking component, and together with the first toothed plate 13, it forms a horizontal locking mechanism. The quick-release mechanism is installed on the inner side of the pre-installation base 3. The quick-release mechanism serves as an unlocking device, realizing the quick disassembly function of the lamp.

[0032] The cabinet light body 1 is detachably connected to a lamp post 2, which serves as an extension component of the light source. The pre-mounted base 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 4, and the connecting plate 4 has mounting holes on its exterior. The connecting plate 4 serves as a fixing component, enabling a stable connection between the pre-mounted base 3 and the cabinet. A wiring area 22 is provided on one side of the cabinet light body 1, which serves as an electrical connection point to facilitate the power supply connection of the light fixture.

[0033] A slot 6 is provided on the rear side of the cabinet light body 1. The slot 6 serves as a guide structure, restricting the movement trajectory of the locking block 7. The rebound mechanism includes the locking block 7 and a tension spring 8. The locking block 7 acts as a sliding component, limiting its sliding within the slot 6 to achieve the rebound function. One end of the tension spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the slot 6, and the other end of the tension spring 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 7. The tension spring 8 acts as an elastic element, providing rebound force and locking force. A sliding plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block 7 and slidably connected to the rear side of the cabinet light body 1. The sliding plate 5 acts as a transmission component, transmitting the movement of the locking block 7 to the L-plate 9.

[0034] The pre-installed base 3 has two sets of limiting grooves 11 on its exterior, arranged symmetrically. The limiting grooves 11 serve as a guide structure to ensure the precise sliding of the L plate 9. Slide rods 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the L plate 9, and the slide rods 12 match the limiting grooves 11 and can be slidably connected. The slide rods 12 serve as guide components and cooperate with the limiting grooves 11 to achieve stable movement of the L plate 9.

[0035] The abutment mechanism includes a telescopic rod 14 and a spring 15. The telescopic rod 14 serves as a guide component, restricting the movement direction of the fixed plate 16. The spring 15 serves as an elastic element, providing a locking force in the vertical direction. Both the telescopic rod 14 and the spring 15 are fixedly connected between the fixed plate 16 and the pre-installed seat 3. The number of telescopic rods 14 and springs 15 is several sets and they are arranged symmetrically. This symmetrical arrangement ensures balanced force. The spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 14. This structural design ensures the stable compression and rebound of the spring 15.

[0036] The sawtooth cross-sections of the first toothed plate 13 and the second toothed plate 17 are both right-angled triangular shapes, and one side of the right-angled side of the sawtooth of the second toothed plate 17 is the side away from the opening 10. This special tooth shape design realizes the one-way self-locking function.

[0037] The quick-release mechanism includes a rotating rod 18 and a pull rope 19. The rotating rod 18 serves as an operating component, unlocking the device by rotating it. The rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the inside of the pre-installation base 3, and the end of the rotating rod 18 protrudes from the upper side of the pre-installation base 3 and is fixedly connected to a screw block. The screw block serves as an operating interface for easy manual operation. The pull rope 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 18, and the end of the pull rope 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 16. The pull rope 19 serves as a transmission component, converting rotational motion into linear motion.

[0038] The end of the L plate 9 is provided with a positioning groove 20. The positioning groove 20 serves as a fitting structure to achieve precise positioning in the vertical direction. The inner side of the pre-mounted base 3 is fixedly connected with a plug plate 21, and the plug plate 21 matches the positioning groove 20. The plug plate 21 serves as a positioning component and cooperates with the positioning groove 20 to achieve vertical locking.

[0039] In this embodiment, before installing the cabinet light, expansion bolts are first used to securely install two sets of pre-mounted bases 3 in predetermined positions on the inner wall of the cabinet through the mounting holes on the external connecting plate 4 of the pre-mounted base 3. When installing the main body 1 of the cabinet light, the operator needs to move the L plate 9 on its back so that its end edge is aligned with the opening 10 on the outside of the pre-mounted base 3. Then, the L plate 9 is inserted into the opening 10 and into the interior of the pre-mounted base 3. In the initial stage of insertion, the first toothed plate 13 will engage with the second toothed plate 17. At the same time, the insertion force of the L plate 9 will push the fixing plate 16 to compress the spring 15 through the first toothed plate 13. At this time, the sliding rods 12 on both sides of the L plate 9 will also abut into the limiting groove 11 to form a preliminary guide.

[0040] Subsequently, the operator needs to continue to push the slide plate 5 towards the inside of the pre-installation seat 3, thereby stretching the tension spring 8. Under the guidance and constraint of the slide rod 12 and the limiting groove 11, the L plate 9 slides stably into the pre-installation seat 3. During this sliding process, the inclined surfaces of the sawtooth slopes of the first toothed plate 13 and the second toothed plate 17 will continuously compress, forcing the second toothed plate 17 to overcome part of the elastic force of the spring 15 and retract briefly. After the first toothed plate 13 passes the current tooth peak, the second toothed plate 17 quickly rebounds under the action of the spring 15 and re-engages with the next tooth groove of the first toothed plate 13. This process repeats, forming a step-by-step effect of "engagement-retraction-re-engagement" until the positioning groove 20 opened at the end of the L plate 9 slides into place and accurately abuts and inserts with the insert plate 21 fixedly connected to the inside of the pre-installation seat 3.

[0041] At this time, the operator releases the slide plate 5. Under the strong restoring force of the tension spring 8, the operator will try to pull the slide plate 5 and L plate 9 back. However, this force will cause the right-angled edges of the first toothed plate 13 and the second toothed plate 17 to form a tight, self-locking rigid contact, thus achieving a firm lock in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the elastic force released by the compressed spring 15 is transmitted through the fixing plate 16, continuously pushing the insert plate 21 to be firmly embedded and pressed against the positioning groove 20, thus achieving a reliable lock in the vertical direction. The double locking mechanism ensures that the cabinet light body 1 has extremely high stability and anti-displacement ability after installation, thus realizing the rapid installation of this cabinet light and at the same time having high installation stability.

[0042] Furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble the light fixture, simply turn the screw at the end of the rotating rod 18. The rotation of the rotating rod 18 will wind the pull rope 19. The traction force at the end of the pull rope 19 will pull the fixing plate 16 under the guidance of the telescopic rod 14, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 15 and driving the second toothed plate 17 to move away from the first toothed plate 13 until the two are completely disengaged. At this time, the locking between the toothed plates and the vertical locking applied by the spring 15 through the insert plate 21 will fail simultaneously. Without the obstruction of the second toothed plate 17, the tension of the tension spring 8 in the stretched state will be released, quickly pulling the slide plate 5 and L plate 9 back to the initial position. The operator can then easily disassemble the main body 1 of the cabinet light, achieving "second-level" quick disassembly, which is extremely convenient. The whole process does not require tools, significantly improving the efficiency of cabinet light installation and maintenance.

[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
