[0015] The second technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0016] A method for installing a flat panel light, which uses the above-mentioned installation structure of the flat panel light, comprises:

[0017] Step 10, lock the mounting bracket on the ceiling;

[0018] Step 20, align the first connecting piece of the flat panel light body with the buckle hook, tilt the flat panel light body and buckle the buckle hook into the buckle groove;

[0019] In step 30, the hook is rotated toward the mounting bracket with the hook groove as a fulcrum until the elastic clip corresponds to the clip cavity and pushes upward against the flat panel lamp body to engage the elastic clip with the clip cavity, thereby completing the installation of the flat panel lamp body.

[0023] In step 30, when the flat lamp body is pushed upward, the first spring piece and the second spring piece enter the card cavity from the card cavity opening at the same time. At this time, the first spring piece and the second spring piece will be elastically deformed. When the card block corresponds to the card hole, the card block is inserted into the card hole under the action of the elastic force of the second spring piece, thus completing the card connection between the elastic card and the card cavity.

[0024] Compared with the background technology, this technical solution has the following advantages:

[0025] 1. The assembly between the flat panel light body and the mounting bracket is extremely convenient, saving time and effort, and is not cumbersome when installed in large quantities; and no screws are required, which will not have a bad impact on the appearance of the flat panel light body; the mounting bracket structure is also relatively simple and low in cost; at the same time, it is light in weight, easy to disassemble, practical and durable.

[0026] 2. The first connecting member includes two first connecting vertical plates and a first connecting horizontal plate. The first connecting member has a simple structure and is easy to form, which can reduce production costs.

[0027] 3. The first connecting horizontal plate is also provided with a clearance groove for making way for the rotation of the buckle hook to ensure that the flat panel lamp body can be smoothly assembled with the mounting bracket.

[0028] 4. When the buckle hook and the buckle groove are engaged with each other, the adapter plate and the limit strip are respectively against the front and back sides of the first limit plate, that is, the adapter plate, the limit strip and the first limit plate can cooperate to limit the flat panel light body laterally.

[0029] 5. The elastic card extends into the card cavity from the top opening of the card cavity and the card block is inserted into the card hole under the action of the elastic force of the second spring piece. There is no need for manual clamping, which simplifies the operation steps. At the same time, the card block can always be kept in the position of the card hole under the action of the elastic force of the second spring piece, thereby enhancing the stability of the flat panel light body.

[0030] 6. When the elastic card is inserted into the card cavity, the first spring piece can move downward along the guide slope. The guide slope has two functions: one is to guide the first spring piece, and the other is to increase the elastic force of the first spring piece, thereby increasing the elastic force of the second spring piece, so that the card block is always stuck in the card hole.

[0031] 7. The limiting piece rests against the outer side of the second limiting plate, and can also limit the flat panel light body in the horizontal direction to ensure the horizontal stability of the flat panel light body.

[0032] 8. The mounting bracket is T-shaped, simple in structure and low in cost, and it is also relatively simple to fix it to the ceiling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The screws pass through the through holes 250 and are locked with the ceiling 1 .

[0058] At least one first connecting member 110 and at least one second connecting member 120 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner wall of the flat lamp body 100, wherein the first connecting member 110 is provided with a buckle groove 111, and the second connecting member 120 is provided with a clamping cavity 121; after the buckle hook 210 is inserted into the buckle groove 111, the buckle hook 210 rotates toward the direction of the mounting bracket 200 with the buckle groove 111 as the rotation fulcrum until the elastic clamping member 220 is engaged with the clamping cavity 121 to complete the assembly of the flat lamp body 100 and the mounting bracket 200.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 110 includes two first connecting vertical plates 112 and a first connecting horizontal plate 113. The two ends of the first connecting horizontal plate 113 are respectively connected to the two first connecting vertical plates 112, and a groove 114 is formed between the three. The first connecting horizontal plate 113 is provided with the buckle groove 111, and the buckle hook 210 is inserted into the slot 114 and then buckled with the buckle groove 111.

Figure 7 As shown, the back side of the adapter plate 230 abuts against the front side of the first limiting plate 116 , and the end of the limiting strip 240 abuts against the back side of the first limiting plate 116 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the card cavity 121 is open at the top and a card hole 122 is provided on the side wall of the card cavity 121 . The elastic card member 220 extends into the card cavity 121 from the top opening of the card cavity 121 and the card block 223 is inserted into the card hole 122 under the elastic force of the second elastic sheet 222 .

[0063] In this embodiment, a top block 123 is further disposed in the card cavity 121 . The top block 123 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 124 . When the elastic card 220 is inserted into the card cavity 121 , the first elastic sheet 221 can move downward along the guiding inclined surface 124 .

[0064] In this embodiment, a second limiting plate 125 is disposed at the top of the clamping cavity 121 , and the limiting piece 225 abuts against the outer side of the second limiting plate 125 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the number of the first connecting members 110 is two and they correspond to the two hooks 210 respectively, and the number of the second connecting member 120 is one and it corresponds to the elastic clamp 220 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the flat lamp body 100 is further provided with a third connecting member 130, which is arranged side by side with the second connecting member 120, and a gasket 140 is further provided, which is sandwiched between the top of the third connecting member 130 and the ceiling 1 to adjust the gap between the flat lamp body 100 and the ceiling 1. The gasket 140 can be a silicone gasket or a plastic gasket, and a plurality of gaskets 140 can be provided with different thicknesses. According to the gap between the top of the third connecting member 130 and the ceiling 1, a gasket 140 of appropriate thickness can be selected.

[0067] The installation method of the flat panel light includes:

[0068] Step 10, locking the mounting bracket 200 on the ceiling 1; specifically, locking the mounting bracket 200 on the ceiling 1 by screws;

[0069] Step 20, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting member 110 of the flat lamp body 100 is aligned with the hook 210, and the flat lamp body 100 is tilted and then the hook 210 is buckled into the buckle groove 111; in this embodiment, in step 20, after the flat lamp body 100 is tilted, the hook 210 is extended into the slot 114 until the hook 210 is extended into the clearance groove 115, and then the hook 210 is moved upward to buckle into the buckle groove 111.

[0070] Step 30, the hook 210 is rotated toward the mounting bracket 200 with the hook groove 111 as a fulcrum until the elastic clamp 220 corresponds to the clamp cavity 121, and the elastic clamp 220 is pushed upward against the flat lamp body 100 to engage the elastic clamp 220 with the clamp cavity 121, thereby completing the installation of the flat lamp body 100;

[0071] In this embodiment, in step 30, when the flat lamp body 100 is pushed upward, the first spring piece 221 and the second spring piece 222 enter the card cavity 121 from the opening of the card cavity 121 at the same time, and the first spring piece 221 moves downward along the guide slope 124. At this time, the first spring piece 221 produces elastic deformation under the push of the guide slope 124, and then the second spring piece 222 is also elastically deformed. When the card block 223 corresponds to the card hole 122, the card block 223 is inserted into the card hole 122 under the action of the elastic force of the second spring piece 222, and the elastic card 220 and the card cavity 121 are snapped together.

[0072] The assembly between the flat panel lamp body 100 and the mounting bracket 200 is extremely convenient, saving time and effort, and is not cumbersome when installed in large quantities; and no screws are required, which will not have a negative impact on the appearance of the flat panel lamp body 100; the mounting bracket 200 is also relatively simple in structure and low in cost; at the same time, it is light in weight, easy to disassemble, and practical and durable.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 11 to 13 , which is the disassembly process of the flat lamp body 100. A disassembly sheet 2 can be extended into the gap between the flat lamp body 100 and the ceiling 1, and the disassembly sheet 2 just presses against the elastic cross piece 224 and presses the elastic cross piece 224 inward. Since the first spring piece 221 presses against the guide inclined surface 124, the second spring piece 222 is squeezed and elastically deformed to move toward the direction of the first spring piece 221 until the card block 223 leaves the card hole 122. At this time, the entire elastic card 220 can be disengaged from the card cavity 121, and the flat lamp body 100 can be rotated downward. Then, the buckle hook 210 is disengaged from the buckle groove 111, and the disassembly of the flat lamp body 100 is completed, which is extremely convenient.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
