Detailed Implementation Methods

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described in this specification are merely for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The detachable automatic locking structure 100 provided by this invention is mainly applied in the field of lighting fixtures. It is understood that the detachable automatic locking structure 100 can also be applied to other devices requiring disassembly and assembly, and this is not limited thereto. The detachable automatic locking structure 100 of this invention primarily solves the problem of low ease of disassembly for the installation and subsequent maintenance of lighting fixtures, thereby improving the convenience of lighting fixture assembly and disassembly, reducing the workload of operators, increasing work efficiency, and ultimately improving economic benefits.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detachable automatic locking structure 100 includes a mounting base 10 and a mounting body 20; a mounting groove (not shown) for accommodating the mounting body 20 is provided on one side of the mounting base 10, and a pair of locking mechanisms 30 for fixing the mounting body 20 are provided in the mounting groove.

[0029] Specifically, each locking mechanism 30 includes a mounting plate 11, a pair of first latches 31, a sliding member 33, a pair of connecting members 32, and a pair of elastic members 34. One end of each first latch 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11, and the other end of each first latch 31 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting member 32. The pair of elastic members 34 are located on both sides of the pair of first latches 31, and one end of each elastic member 34 is rotatably connected to the first latch 31, while the other end of each elastic member 34 is connected to the mounting plate 11, so as to drive the pair of first latches 31 to rotate in a direction away from each other. The sliding member 33 is located between the pair of first latches 31 and its two ends are rotatably connected to the other end of a connecting member 32, and the sliding member 33 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 11, so as to drive the pair of first latches 31 to rotate in a direction closer to each other. The mounting body 20 has a pair of second latches 221 at each end. After the mounting body 20 enters the mounting groove, each pair of first latches 31 is inserted between the pair of second latches 221 to form a fastening connection.

[0030] It is understandable that the slider 33, the connector 32, and the first latch 31 together form a crank-slider mechanism, and the elastic element 34 provides the power for the reset of the first latch 31. Both ends of the mounting plate 11 are provided with a pair of first latches 31, and both ends of the mounting body 20 are provided with a pair of second latches 221. This ensures that after the mounting body 20 is installed on the mounting base 10, the force on the mounting body 20 is more even, thus ensuring the reliability of the connection between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10.

[0031] When the mounting body 20 needs to be installed onto the mounting base 10, the operator places the mounting body 20 into the mounting slot and pushes it into the slot. The second latch 221 on the mounting body 20 abuts against and pushes the first latch 31 to rotate. The first latch 31 drives the sliding member 33 to slide along the mounting plate 11 through the connector 32. The rotation of the first latch 31 causes the elastic member 34 to store energy. When the first latch 31 rotates to the point where the second latch 221 can pass through the first latch 31, the first latch 31 loses the pushing force of the second latch 221. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 34, the first latch 31 resets, so that the first latch 31 and the second latch 221 are engaged with each other, thereby fixing the mounting base 10 and the mounting body 20 together, completing the quick installation between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10.

[0032] When it is necessary to remove the mounting body 20 from the mounting base 10, the operator pushes the sliding member 33 to slide along the mounting plate 11. The sliding member 33 drives the first buckle 31 to rotate through the connector 32. The rotation of the first buckle 31 causes the elastic member 34 to store energy. When the first buckle 31 rotates to the point where it separates from the second buckle 221, the mounting body 20 can be separated from the mounting base 10. After the mounting body 20 is separated from the mounting base 10, the first buckle 31 resets under the elastic force of the elastic member 34, thus completing the quick disassembly between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10.

[0033] Through the cooperation between the sliding member 33, the connecting member 32, the first buckle 31, the elastic member 34 and the second buckle 221, the quick installation and quick disassembly between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10 are realized, thereby improving the convenience of lamp installation and removal, reducing the workload of workers, improving work efficiency and production benefits.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the mounting body 20 from the mounting base 10 by operators, certain structural requirements are placed on the sliding member 33, the mounting plate 11, the mounting base 10, and the mounting body 20. In one embodiment, the sliding member 33 has an elastic limiting protrusion 331 on the side near the mounting plate 11, the mounting plate 11 has a limiting groove 111 along the sliding path of the limiting protrusion 331, and both ends of the mounting body 20 have pushing protrusions 222 located between two second latches 221. The mounting base 10 also includes outer end caps 40 detachably mounted on both ends of the mounting base 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the time required for the first latch 31 to rotate and disengage from the second latch 221 is shorter than the time required for the limiting protrusion 331 to slide into the limiting groove 111. The mounting plate 11 has a rotating groove 113 for limiting the rotation of the first latch 31, and a sliding groove 114 for limiting the sliding of the sliding member 33. The outer end cover 40 has a through groove 41, and a pushing block 42 is slidably connected to the outer end cover 40, connected to the sliding member 33 via the through groove 41. Preferably, the mounting plate 11 has a guide portion 112 along the sliding path of the limiting protrusion 331, located below the limiting groove 111. The sliding member 33 is connected to the sliding groove 114, the sliding member 33 is connected to the connecting member 32, and the first latch 31, elastic member 34, and connecting member 32 are all connected via a rotating shaft 50.

[0036] Understandably, during the process of disassembling and installing the main body 20 and the mounting base 10, when the worker pushes the push block 42 on the outer end cover 40 to slide along the through groove 41, the push block 42 drives the sliding member 33 to slide along the sliding groove 114 on the mounting plate 11. The sliding member 33 drives the first buckle 31 to rotate through the connector 32. Since the time required for the first buckle 31 to rotate to disengage from the second buckle 221 is shorter than the time required for the limiting protrusion 331 to slide into the limiting groove 111, after the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 221 are separated, the worker continues to push the push block 42 on the outer end cover 40, and the limiting protrusion 331 enters into the limiting groove 111. When the worker releases the push block 42, the first buckle 31 remains away from the second buckle 221 because the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 331 and the limiting groove 111 restricts the freedom of the sliding member 33. This makes it easier for the worker to remove the main body 20 from the mounting base 10. During the process of removing the mounting body 20 from the mounting base 10, the pushing protrusions 222 at both ends of the mounting base 10 slide and pass through the limiting groove 111. The pushing protrusions 222 push the limiting protrusions 331 in the limiting groove 111 out of the limiting groove 111. The constraint of the limiting protrusions 331 and the limiting groove 111 on the degree of freedom of the sliding member 33 is released. The first buckle 31 is reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 34, thereby realizing the reset of the locking mechanism during the process of removing the mounting body 20 from the mounting base 10. This prepares for the next installation of the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10, improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly, reduces the workload of the staff, and improves the efficiency and benefits of production.

[0037] The outer end cap 40 is detachably connected to both ends of the mounting base 10, allowing maintenance personnel to remove the outer end cap 40 to maintain the locking mechanism 30 in case of malfunction, thus improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance. The guide portion 112 serves as a guide and compressive element. When the sliding member 33 slides under the drive of the push block 42, the elastic limiting protrusion 331 is compressed by the guide portion 112, thereby enabling the limiting protrusion 331 to reset and lock into the limiting groove 111 when passing through it. Through the action of the sliding groove 114 and the rotating groove 113, the stability of the sliding member 33 and the rotation of the first buckle 31 during installation and disassembly is ensured, improving the overall stability during installation and disassembly.

[0038] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the installation between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10, certain requirements are placed on the structure of the first latch 31 and the second latch 221, as well as the structure of the mounting body 20. In one embodiment, the mounting body 20 includes a main body 21 and inner end caps 22 detachably mounted on both ends of the main body 21. The second latch 221 and the pushing protrusion 222 are both disposed on the inner end caps 22. The first latch 31 includes a rotating portion and a first engaging portion extending outward from the rotating portion. The second latch 221 includes a fixing portion 2211 and a second engaging portion 2212 extending outward from the fixing portion 2211.

[0039] Understandably, the inner end cover 22 is detachably connected to the main body 21. The second latch 221 and the pushing protrusion 222 are disposed on the inner end cover 22. When the second latch 221 or the pushing protrusion 222 is worn or damaged, maintenance can be performed by replacing the inner end cover 22, which improves the convenience of maintenance and reduces the maintenance cost. The second latch 221 is fixedly connected to the inner end cover 22 by the fixing part 2211, so that the second latch 221 can push the first latch 31 to rotate. The first latch 31 and the second latch 221 realize the installation and removal between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10 through the cooperation of the first fastening part and the second fastening part 2212.

[0040] In summary, the detachable automatic locking structure 100 provided by the present invention solves the problem of inconvenient installation and disassembly of lamps through the cooperation between the sliding member 33, the connecting member 32, the first buckle 31, the elastic member 34 and the second buckle 221, thereby realizing quick assembly and disassembly between the mounting body 20 and the mounting base 10, improving the convenience of lamp assembly and disassembly, reducing the workload of workers, improving work efficiency and production benefits.

[0041] The present invention also provides a lamp, which includes the detachable automatic locking structure 100 in any of the above embodiments. It is understood that the detachable automatic locking structure 100 improves the convenience of quick assembly and disassembly of the lamp, reduces the workload of workers, improves work efficiency, and increases production benefits.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents.
