Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting, and particularly to an installation structure for a lamp. This application also relates to a lamp including such an installation structure. Background Art

[0002] A ceiling lamp is installed close to the ceiling. Compared with ordinary pendant lamps, etc., it saves more space and has a strong decorative effect, so it is widely used.

[0003] In the prior art, ceiling lamps are usually installed from the side using multiple screws, which makes the installation complex and difficult to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention provides an installation structure for a lamp, including a base assembly, which includes a fixing body, two clamping members connected to the fixing body, and an elastic pressing member connected to the fixing body, the elastic pressing member being between the two clamping members, and an engaging assembly, which includes two hooks and a pressing surface between the two hooks. Among them, the two hooks are respectively clamped with the corresponding clamping members, and the elastic pressing member presses the pressing surface.

[0005] In one embodiment, the clamping member includes an elastic base connected to the fixing body, and a hook is formed by bending the elastic base. The hook includes a body extending along the longitudinal direction, and a bayonet is formed on the body along the radial direction. The hook is radially clamped into the corresponding bayonet.

[0006] In one embodiment, the elastic base includes a first extension portion along the radial direction and a second extension portion along the longitudinal direction. The first extension portion is connected to the fixing body, the second extension portion is connected to the first extension portion, and the hook is formed on the second extension portion.

[0007] In one embodiment, the two hooks are radially opposite and have the same extending direction, so that the two hooks are radially clamped into the corresponding bayonets from the same side of the bayonet.

[0008] In one embodiment, the clamping member further includes a guiding portion extending obliquely from the hook, and the guiding portion guides the hook to be clamped into the bayonet.

[0009] In one embodiment, the bending direction of the hook forms an acute angle with the elastic base.

[0010] In one embodiment, the extending length of the elastic pressing member in the longitudinal direction is greater than the extending length of the clamping member in the longitudinal direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the elastic pressing member includes a first elastic pressing member adjacent to the first latching member of the two latching members. In the assembled state, the first latching member is latched into the bayonet opening from the radially outer side of the first hook of the two hooks, and the first elastic pressing member presses against the pressing surface and abuts against the body of the first hook on the radially inner side thereof.

[0012] In one embodiment, the elastic pressing member further includes a second elastic pressing member adjacent to the second latching member of the two latching members. The second elastic pressing member is radially spaced apart from the first elastic pressing member. In the assembled state, the second latching member is latched into the bayonet opening from the radially inner side of the second hook of the two hooks, and the second elastic pressing member presses against the pressing surface and is spaced apart from the two hooks.

[0013] In one embodiment, both the first elastic pressing member and the second elastic pressing member include a first extending portion extending radially and a second extending portion inclined radially outward. The first extending portion is connected to the fixed body, the second extending portion is connected to the first extending portion, and the end of the second extending portion is bent arcuately radially outward. The radially extending length of the first extending portion of the first elastic pressing member is greater than the radially extending length of the first extending portion of the second elastic pressing member, so that the end of the second extending portion of the first elastic pressing member can press against the pressing surface and abut against the body of the first hook.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base assembly further includes a side wall on the radially outer side of the two latching members, and the engaging assembly includes a baffle on the radially outer side of the two hooks. The side wall and the baffle extend longitudinally towards each other. After the hook is latched into the corresponding bayonet opening, the side wall is inserted between the corresponding hook and the baffle.

[0015] In one embodiment, the hook further includes a mounting portion that extends radially outward and is connected to the corresponding baffle, and the body is connected to the mounting portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the side wall includes a first portion corresponding to the first latching member and a second portion corresponding to the second latching member, and the longitudinal length of the second portion is less than the longitudinal length of the first portion.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention provides a lighting fixture, including the mounting structure described above, and further including a lamp body, and the engaging assembly is mounted on the lamp body.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When using the installation structure of the present application, only two hooks need to be respectively clamped with the corresponding holding members to complete the assembly. After the installation structure is used in a lamp, only by clamping the hooks with the corresponding holding members, the installation of the lamp is completed. During the installation process of the lamp, no fixing members such as screws and rivets are required, so the installation process is greatly simplified and the operation is very convenient. In addition, the elastic pressing member pressing the pressing surface can make the clamping between the hooks and the corresponding holding members more stable, thus making the installation of the lamp more stable.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0026] In the present application, the direction term "longitudinal" is as shown by the arrow A in Figure 1 and the direction term "radial" is as shown by the arrow B in Figure 1 .

[0027] Figure 1 Schematically shows an installation structure 1 for a lamp according to the present application. As shown in Figure 1As shown. The mounting structure 1 includes a base component 100 and an engaging component 200 that mates with the base component 100. The base component 100 includes a fixing body 101, two fastening members 102 connected to the fixing body 101, and an elastic pressing member 110 connected to the fixing body 101. The elastic pressing member 110 is located between the two fastening members 102. The engaging component 200 includes two hooks 202 and a pressing surface 210 between the two hooks 202. The two hooks 202 are respectively snap-connected to the corresponding fastening members 102, and the elastic pressing member 110 presses against the pressing surface 210.

[0028] During use Figure 1 When using the mounting structure 1 shown, it only needs to snap the two hooks 202 to the corresponding fastening members 102 respectively to complete the assembly. After using the mounting structure 1 in a lamp, for example Figure 2 the lamp 2 shown (for example, it can be a ceiling lamp), the base component 100 can be pre-mounted on a mounting base (for example, a ceiling), and the engaging component 200 is installed on the lamp body 201 of the lamp 2. In this way, it only needs to snap the hook 202 to the corresponding fastening member 102 to complete the installation of the lamp 2. During the installation of the lamp 2, no fixing parts such as screws and rivets are required, thus greatly simplifying the installation of the lamp 2 and making the operation very convenient. In addition, the elastic pressing member 110 pressing against the pressing surface 210 can make the snap connection between the hook 202 and the corresponding fastening member 102 more stable, thereby making the installation of the lamp 2 more stable.

[0029] Next, the structures of the base component 100 and the engaging component 200 will be described in detail.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the fastening member 102 of the base component 100 includes an elastic base body 103 connected to the fixing body 101, and a hook 104 bent radially is formed on the elastic base body 103. Correspondingly, the hook 202 includes a body 203 extending longitudinally, and a bayonet 204 is formed on the body 203 radially. In this way, the hook 104 can be conveniently snapped into the corresponding bayonet 204 radially, and thus the detachable assembly of the base component 100 and the engaging component 200 is realized. Specifically, the elastic base body 103 includes a first extension portion 105 in the radial direction and a second extension portion 106 in the longitudinal direction. The first extension portion 105 is connected to the fixing body 101, the second extension portion 106 is connected to the first extension portion 105, and the hook 104 is formed on the second extension portion 106. In this way, by adjusting the length of the radial extension of the first extension portion 105, the coverage range of the base component 100 can be adjusted. Thus, the mounting structure 1 of the present application can be conveniently used for lamps of various sizes.

[0031] Also as Figure 1As shown, the two hooks 104 face each other radially and have the same extending direction. For example, for a circular lamp, the two hooks 104 are at both ends of the same diameter; for a square lamp, the two hooks 104 are at both ends of the diagonal; for lamps of other shapes, the arrangement of the two hooks 104 is similar, which will not be elaborated here. In this way, the two hooks 104 are snapped into the corresponding bayonet 204 from the same side of the bayonet 204 along the radial direction. As Figure 3e schematically shows, the hook 104 of the first holding member 1021 on the right side in Figure 3e is snapped into the bayonet 204 radially leftward from the right side of the first hook 2021, and the hook 104 of the second holding member 1022 on the left side in Figure 3e is also snapped into the bayonet 204 radially leftward from the right side of the second hook 2022. With this structure, during assembly, it is not necessary to radially squeeze both the first holding member 1021 and the second holding member 1022 inward to the inner side of the first hook 2021 and the second hook 2022 (i.e., the opposite side of the first hook 2021 and the second hook 2022), but on the same side of the first hook 2021 and the second hook 2022, and then push the engaging assembly 200 towards the base assembly 100, the assembly of the mounting structure 1 can be achieved. The assembly process is simple and easy to operate.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the bending direction of the hook 104 forms an acute angle α with the elastic matrix 103 (as Figure 5 shown). It should be understood that when the elastic matrix 103 includes a first extension 105 along the radial direction and a second extension 106 along the longitudinal direction, and the hook 104 is formed on the second extension 106, the bending direction of the hook 104 forms an acute angle α with the second extension 106. The inventor found that with this structure, the hook 104 is snapped into the corresponding bayonet 204 in a hanging manner, which can further ensure the snap connection stability between the holding member 102 and the corresponding hook 202. Specifically, the acute angle α can be between 60° and 88°. In this way, not only can the snap connection stability between the holding member 102 and the corresponding hook 202 be ensured, but also the hook 104 can be easily snapped into the bayonet 204 to ensure that the assembly process is simple and easy to operate.

[0033] Also as Figure 1 shown, the holding member 102 further includes a guiding portion 107 that extends obliquely from the hook 104, and the guiding portion 107 guides the hook 104 to be snapped into the bayonet 204. In this way, under the guidance of the guiding portion 107, it is more convenient to snap the hook 104 into the corresponding bayonet 204.

[0034] Let's look at the elastic pressing member 110 of the base assembly 100. As Figure 1As shown, the elastic pressure piece 110 is located between the two fastening members 102. The coupling assembly 200 includes a pressure surface 210, and the pressure surface 210 is located between the two hooks 202. After the hook 104 is snapped into the corresponding bayonet 204, the elastic pressure piece 110 presses the pressure surface 210 (for example, the body 20 of the lamp 2). The elastic pressure piece 110 can be strip-shaped, so the elastic pressure piece 110 is in line contact with the pressure surface 210. In this state, the elastic pressure piece 110 is compressed and applies a force away from the basic assembly 100 to the pressure surface 210 (for example, for a ceiling lamp, a longitudinal force). As a result, the fastening member 102 (or the hook 104) and the hook 202 (or the bayonet 204) are more tightly snapped together, which further improves the snap-on stability between the fastening member 102 and the corresponding hook 202. After the mounting structure 1 is applied to the lamp 2 , the elastic pressing member 110 presses the lamp body 20 of the lamp 2 , and can also prevent the lamp body 20 from rotating or deflecting, thereby improving the stability of the lamp 1 (or the lamp body 20 ).

[0035] There are two elastic pressing members 110, which are spaced apart in the radial direction. The first elastic pressing member 1101 is close to the first buckle 1021 of the two buckles 102, and the second elastic pressing member 1102 is close to the second buckle 1022 of the two buckles 102. Figure 3e As shown, the first fastening member 1021 is snapped into the snap-in 204 of the first hook 2021 from the radial outer side of the two hooks 202, and the first elastic pressing member 1101 presses the pressing surface 210 and abuts against the body 203 of the first hook 2021 at the radial inner side of the first hook 2021. The second elastic pressing member 1102 presses the pressing surface 210 and is spaced apart from the two hooks 202. In this way, the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the second elastic pressing member 1102 evenly apply pressure to the pressing surface 210 (or the lamp body 20), making the pressing surface 210 (or the lamp body 20) more stable. More importantly, the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the first holding member 1021 are radially arranged opposite to each other and substantially clamp the first hook 2021, so that even if the coupling component 200 (or the lamp body 20) is pushed radially, the holding member 102 (or the hook 104) and the hook 202 (or the bayonet 204) will not be disengaged, which further ensures the stability of the coupling between the basic component 100 and the coupling component 200.

[0036] In one embodiment, the longitudinal extension length of the elastic pressing member 110 is greater than the longitudinal extension length of the fastening member 102. In this way, after the hook 104 is snapped into the corresponding snap-in 204, the elastic pressing member 110 can be ensured to be in a compressed state, so as to apply a force to the pressing surface 210 away from the base assembly 100. The longitudinal extension length of the elastic pressing member 110 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Both the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the second elastic pressing member 1102 include a first extension portion 120 extending radially and a second extension portion 121 inclined radially outward. The first extension portion 120 is connected to the fixed body 101, the second extension portion 121 is connected to the first extension portion 121, and the end of the second extension portion 121 is bent arcuately radially outward. Specifically, the radially extending length of the first extension portion 120 of the first elastic pressing member 1101 is greater than the radially extending length of the first extension portion 120 of the second elastic pressing member 1102. In this way, the end of the second extension portion 121 of the first elastic pressing member 1101 can tightly press against the pressing surface 210 and abut against the body 203 of the first hook 2021. In addition, the length of the first extension portion 120 can be adjusted according to the actual situation so that the installation structure 1 has a wider application range, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Also as Figure 1 shown, the base assembly 100 further includes side walls 130 on the radially outer sides of the two fastening members 102. Correspondingly, the engaging assembly 200 includes baffles 230 on the radially outer sides of the two hooks 202. The side walls 130 and the baffles 230 extend longitudinally towards each other. In this way, after the hook 104 is snapped into the corresponding bayonet 204, the side wall 130 is inserted between the corresponding hook 202 and the baffle 230. In this case, the hook 202 further includes a mounting portion 220 that extends radially outward and is connected to the corresponding baffle 230, and the body 203 is connected to the mounting portion 220. In this way, in the assembled state, the baffle 230 generally surrounds the fastening member 102, the hook 202, the elastic pressing member 110, and the side wall 130, thereby avoiding accidental contact with the fastening member 102, the hook 202, and the elastic pressing member 110, which further improves the engagement stability between the base assembly 100 and the engaging assembly 200, and also looks more beautiful in appearance.

[0039] Also as Figure 1 shown. The side wall 130 includes a first part 1301 corresponding to the first fastening member 1021 and a second part 1302 corresponding to the second fastening member 1022. The longitudinal length of the second part 1302 is less than the longitudinal length of the first part 1301. In this way, during the assembly process, there can be a relatively large gap between the second part 1302 and the baffle 230 for the operator to precisely operate (as described below), making the assembly process simple and easy to operate.

[0040] Next, taking the lamp 2 Figure 2 shown as an example, the assembly and disassembly processes of the installation structure 1 will be described.

[0041] When assembling the mounting structure 1, first install the base component 100 on the ceiling 3. Then, tilt the lamp body 20 longitudinally so that there is a relatively large gap 31 between the second part 1302 of the side wall 130 and the baffle 230 (as shown in Figure 3a ). An operator brings the first hook 2021 close to the first fastening member 1021 and the first elastic pressing member 1101 while observing through the gap 31. After the first elastic pressing member 1101 contacts the first hook 2021 on the radially inner side, rotate the lamp body 20 (e.g., in the direction of the arrow R in Figure 3a ) to the longitudinal direction and push the lamp body 20 longitudinally upward (as shown in Figure 3b , 3c and 3d). In the state of Figure 3b , the first elastic pressing member 1101 just contacts the first fastening member 1021. In the state of Figure 3c , the lamp body 20 moves longitudinally upward relative to the base component 100, and the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the second elastic pressing member 1102 move towards the lamp body 20, and the first elastic pressing member 1101 is elastically deformed by being pressed radially inward by the first fastening member 1021 (as shown by the arrow F1 in Figure 3c ). In the state of Figure 3d , the lamp body 20 further moves longitudinally upward relative to the base component 100, and the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the second elastic pressing member 1102 move to just contact the lamp body 20. At this time, the first elastic pressing member 1101 is still elastically deformed by being pressed radially inward by the first fastening member 1021 (as shown by the arrow F1 in Figure 3d ). Continue to push the lamp body 20 longitudinally upward so that the first fastening member 1021 (or the hook 104) is engaged with the first hook 2021 (or the bayonet 204), the second fastening member 1022 (or the hook 104) is engaged with the second hook 2022 (or the bayonet 204), the first elastic pressing member 1101 presses against the pressing surface 210 and abuts against the body 203 of the first hook 2021 on the radially inner side of the first hook 2021, and the second elastic pressing member 1102 only presses against the pressing surface 210 (as shown in Figure 3e ). In this way, the assembly of the mounting structure 1 is completed. In the state of Figure 3e , the second elastic pressing member 1102 is elastically deformed by being longitudinally upwardly pressed by the lamp body 20, and the first elastic pressing member 1101 is elastically deformed by being radially inwardly pressed by the lamp body 20 and longitudinally upwardly pressed by the first fastening member 1021 (as shown by the arrows F1, F2 and F3 in Figure 3e ), and the installation of the mounting structure 1 or the lamp 2 is completed. Under the elastic forces of the first elastic pressing member 1101 and the second elastic pressing member 1102, the base component 100 and the lamp body 20 are stably joined together.

[0042] When disassembling the installation structure 1, as Figure 4a shown, apply a force F towards the second hook 2022 on the lamp body 20 (i.e., Figure 4a in, apply a leftward force F from the side close to the first hook 2021), so as to squeeze the first elastic pressing member 1101, and disengage the first fastening member 1021 (or hook 104) from the first hook 2021 (or bayonet 204), and the second fastening member 1022 (or hook 104) from the second hook 2022 (or bayonet 204). Then, pull the lamp body 20 vertically downward until the engagement assembly 200 is completely separated from the base assembly 100 (as Figure 4b , 4c and 4d). In this way, the disassembly of the installation structure 1 is completed.

[0043] Thus, it can be seen that the assembly and disassembly of the installation structure 1 according to the present application are very simple and easy to operate.

[0044] The above are only the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application.
