Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a quick-connect assembly and a lighting fixture, belonging to the field of fan light technology. Background Technology

[0002] Lighting fixtures are typically ceiling-mounted, consisting of a first part connected to a mounting base and a second part integrated with the lighting fixture assembly. The first and second parts are interconnected. A fan light is a common household appliance and also a type of lighting fixture. It combines lighting and fan functionality, comprising a lighting fixture assembly and a fan assembly. The fan assembly, integrated with the mounting base, forms the first part of the lighting fixture, while the lighting fixture assembly forms the second part. Therefore, fan lights possess both the lighting performance of a lighting fixture and the cooling performance of a fan, making them one of the most common indoor lighting fixtures, widely used in homes, offices, entertainment venues, and various other settings.

[0003] Existing ceiling fan lights typically use a single-piece assembly or a fixed connection for the fan and light components to improve stability. However, due to the large area of ​​these lights, extremely poor visibility, and the fact that installation is often done at height, the process is complex, requiring multiple people to complete. This results in high installation difficulty and cost, and low efficiency. Furthermore, the inconvenience of installation and disassembly during maintenance and cleaning makes the process time-consuming and labor-intensive for installers, increasing their workload and potentially endangering their safety.

[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to propose a power connection module and a lighting fixture to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-connect assembly with a simple structure, high installation efficiency, and the ability to be installed and disassembled by a single person. This quick-connect assembly is mainly used in lighting fixtures, and particularly in a fan light.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a quick-connect assembly for mechanically connecting at least a first part and a second part of a lighting fixture, including a first quick-connect structure for engaging with the first part of the lighting fixture and a second quick-connect structure for engaging with the second part of the lighting fixture. The first quick-connect structure includes a body and at least two first engagement portions formed on the periphery of the body. The second quick-connect structure includes at least two second engagement portions formed on its periphery.

[0008] The first quick-connect structure and the second quick-connect structure are configured such that the first quick-connect structure is sleeved outside the second quick-connect structure and can rotate relative to each other, so that the second quick-connect structure can slide along the sliding part and pass through the elastic part until the second connecting part is received in the connecting area of ​​the first connecting part and abuts against the stop part and at least one of the locking parts and the elastic part in the circumferential direction; and when configured to rotate in the opposite direction, the first quick-connect structure and the second quick-connect structure can be disengaged after overcoming the connecting force between the locking part and the elastic part.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first quick-connect structure has a first sidewall, the first connecting portion is located on the inner peripheral side of the first sidewall, the second connecting portion is located on the outer peripheral side of the second sidewall of the second quick-connect structure, and the first sidewall is located on the outer side of the second sidewall of the second quick-connect structure.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the locking portion of the elastic part and / or the second connecting part is a raised or recessed portion, which can accommodate each other.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the elastic portion protrudes in a direction away from the first sidewall.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the number of the locking portions is greater than the number of the elastic portions, and the grooves are for accommodating the elastic portions within the locking portions during the relative rotation of the first quick-connect structure and the second quick-connect structure.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a lighting fixture, including a first part, a second part, and a quick-connect assembly as described above, wherein the quick-connect assembly mechanically connects the first part and the second part at least mechanically, the first part is configured to be combined with a mounting base and a first quick-connect structure of the quick-connect assembly, and the second part is configured to include a lighting fixture assembly and be combined with the second quick-connect structure.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the lighting fixture is a fan lamp, the first part of which is a fan assembly. The fan assembly includes: a fan blade assembly, a motor assembly, and a rotating disk. The motor assembly includes a motor housing, a motor shaft, a rotor assembly, and a stator assembly. The stator assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the motor housing. The motor housing is integrally disposed with the rotating disk. The rotor assembly is fixedly connected to the motor shaft.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the extension wall of the first quick-connect structure is provided with a mounting portion that is coupled to the motor assembly.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the second quick-connect structure is integrally combined with the lamp assembly or separately assembled into the lamp assembly.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, a reinforcing member is also included, which is built into the first quick-connect structure and sleeved on the motor shaft of the motor assembly.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0036] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the present invention discloses a fan light 100 having the quick-connect assembly 4 of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fan light 100 includes a ceiling assembly 1, a hanging assembly 2, a fan assembly 3, a quick-connect assembly 4, and a light fixture assembly 5.

[0039] The ceiling-mounted component 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base, thereby enabling the installation of the fan light 100. The mounting base can be a ceiling or other surface used to install the suspended fan light 100. The two ends of the hanging component 2 are connected to the ceiling-mounted component 1 and the fan component 3 respectively, thus connecting the fan component 3 to the ceiling-mounted component 1. The fan component 3 and the light fixture component 5 are connected via a quick-connect component 4, which also connects the light fixture component 5 below the fan component 3, ensuring that the operation of the fan component 3 does not interfere with the operation of the light fixture component. By using the quick-connect component 4, the fan component 3 and the light fixture component 5 can be quickly connected, simplifying the installation process of the fan light 100, reducing installation costs, improving installation efficiency, and allowing for single-person installation and disassembly, saving time and effort.

[0040] However, the quick-connect component 4 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is not limited to being applied to the fan light 100 to quickly connect the fan assembly 3 and the light fixture assembly 5, but can also be applied to other light fixtures, such as ceiling lights, chandeliers, etc. The fan assembly 3 can be regarded as the first part of the light fixture fixed to the mounting base, and the light fixture assembly 5 as the second part of the light fixture, so that the quick-connect component 4 can connect the first part and the second part of the light fixture.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the ceiling assembly 1 includes a ceiling box 11 and a bracket body 12. The ceiling box 11 is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the bracket body 12. The bracket body 12 is used for fixed installation on the mounting base. The ceiling box 11 has a mounting cavity, in which the bracket body 12 is housed to reduce the space occupied by the bracket body 12 and improve the structural compactness of the fan light 100. Furthermore, the mounting cavity of the ceiling box 11 can also accommodate some functional components of the fan light 100, such as a drive assembly, a safety rope assembly, and a terminal assembly, to better utilize the space of the ceiling box 11 and improve the structural compactness and aesthetics of the fan light 100.

[0042] The suspension assembly 2 includes a hanging ball 21 and a hanging rod 22. The hanging rod 22 and the hanging ball 21 are detachably connected by threads, facilitating the installation and removal of the hanging rod 22 and the hanging ball 21, and making it convenient for maintenance of the fan light 100. Furthermore, to prevent the hanging rod 22 from detaching from the hanging ball 21, in an optional embodiment, the hanging rod 22 and the hanging ball 21 can be locked together using fasteners such as screws to achieve fixation between them. The hanging ball 21 is housed within the mounting cavity of the ceiling box 11. The portion of the hanging rod 22 extending beyond the mounting cavity is connected to the hanging ball 21. The end of the hanging rod 22 away from the hanging ball 21 is connected to the fan assembly 3 to facilitate the hoisting of the fan light 100. The length of the hanging rod 22 can be flexibly set. Optionally, the hanging rod 22 can adopt a multi-segment structure, allowing users to adjust the length of the hanging rod 22 according to their needs, thereby changing the installation height of the fan light 100.

[0043] Combination Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the fan assembly 3 includes a fan blade assembly 31 and a motor assembly 32 that drives the fan blade assembly 31 to rotate. The fan blade assembly 31 is the component in the fan assembly 3 used to propel air. Under the drive of the motor assembly 32, it rotates at high speed around the central axis of the fan assembly 3, which can drive the surrounding airflow, thereby achieving air blowing. The fan blade assembly 31 includes a rotating disk 33 and fan blades 311. The motor assembly 32 is connected to the rotating disk 33. The motor assembly 32 includes a motor housing, a motor shaft 321, a rotor assembly 322, and a stator assembly. The stator assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the motor housing. The motor housing is integrally formed with the rotating disk 33. The rotor assembly 322 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft 321. The stator assembly can drive the rotating disk 33 to rotate by rotating relative to the rotor assembly 322. The fan blades 311 are disposed on the side of the rotating disk 33 away from the lamp assembly 5 and can rotate with the rotating disk 33.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the fan blade 311 includes an inner edge and an outer edge. The two ends of the inner edge are not on the same horizontal plane. Specifically, when the fan blade 311 is in the unfolded state, the end of the inner edge closer to the central axis of the fan assembly 3 is lower than the end farther from the central axis, thus causing the inner edge to gradually rise from the inside to the outside of the fan assembly 3. Similarly, the two ends of the outer edge are not on the same horizontal plane. Specifically, when the fan blade 311 is in the unfolded state, the first end of the outer edge closer to the central axis of the fan assembly 3 is lower than the end farther from the central axis, thus causing the outer edge to gradually rise from the inside to the outside of the fan assembly 3. Based on this, the entire fan blade 311 is lower in the middle region of the fan assembly 3 than in the edge region. That is, when the fan blade 311 is closed, there is a gap between two adjacent fan blades 311. Due to the existence of this gap, two adjacent fan blades 311 will not contact each other during the unfolding or closing process, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of damage to the fan blade 311 caused by wear and collision between two adjacent fan blades 311.

[0045] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 3 further includes a synchronization disk (not shown), which is rotatably disposed above the rotating disk 33 and is coaxial with the rotating disk 33. Since each fan blade 311 is symmetrical about the axis of the rotating disk 33, the synchronization disk has the same guiding effect on each fan blade 311, thereby keeping the movement of each fan blade 311 consistent and achieving synchronous rotation for unfolding or retracting.

[0046] The end of the suspension rod 22 away from the suspension ball 21 of the suspension assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft 321 of the motor assembly 32. In an optional embodiment, the suspension rod 22 and the motor shaft 321 are threaded together to simplify the installation steps of the fan light 100 and reduce the assembly difficulty. Of course, in other embodiments, the suspension rod 22 and the motor shaft 321 can also be fixedly connected by welding, riveting or multiple bolts, etc., and the present invention does not limit this.

[0047] A quick-connect component 4 is disposed within a lighting assembly 5. The lighting assembly 5 has an annular wall on the side facing the first part, and the quick-connect component 4 is housed within this annular wall. The quick-connect component 4 includes a first quick-connect structure 41 and a second quick-connect structure 42. The first quick-connect structure 41 is rotatably connected to the fan assembly 3, and the second quick-connect structure 42 is detachably connected to or integrally formed with the lighting assembly 5. The first quick-connect structure 41 enables a rotatable connection to the fan assembly 3, while the second quick-connect structure 42 enables an integral or detachable connection to the lighting assembly 5. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the first and second quick-connect structures allows for quick connection of the fan assembly 3 and the lighting assembly 5 via the quick-connect component 4. This simplifies the installation process of the fan light 100, reduces installation costs, improves installation efficiency, and allows for single-person installation and disassembly, saving time and effort.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, the first quick-connect structure 41 is rotatably connected to the motor assembly 32 in the fan assembly 3.

[0049] The first quick-connect structure 41 includes a body 410, which includes a first sidewall 411 and an extension wall 412 that extends substantially perpendicularly to and substantially horizontally from the first sidewall 411. The extension wall 412 is a hollow annular structure and is stepped, with the first portion 4120 connected to the first sidewall 411 having a wall thickness greater than the second portion 4121 that is away from the first sidewall 411. A plurality of elastic portions 413 are provided at intervals from the boundary region between the first sidewall 411 and the extension wall 412, and a plurality of mounting portions 4122 are formed facing each other on the inner side of the extension wall 412. The mounting portion 4122 is circular, with a first mounting hole 4123 for a screw to pass through in its center, and reinforcing structures 4124 are provided on both sides of the joint region between the mounting portion 4122 and the second portion 4121 to increase strength. One end of the elastic portion 413 is connected to the first part of the extension wall 412, and the other end is a free end suspended in the air, thus possessing elasticity. Viewed from the inside of the body 410, the elastic portion 413 has a centrally raised stop portion 4130, which serves to provide a stop and indication for proper installation with the second quick-connect structure 42. The inner side of the first sidewall 411 also forms several first connecting portions 414 near the elastic portion 413. These portions are L-shaped and include a sliding portion 4141 adjacent to the lower edge of the first sidewall 411 and a stop portion 4143 formed at the end of the sliding portion 4141 and approximately perpendicular to it. The other end of the sliding portion 4141 has an inclined guide slope 4142, making the other end of the sliding portion 4141 wedge-shaped. The elastic part 413 is located above the sliding part 4141 and spaced a certain distance in the height direction. Preferably, the elastic part 413 is located in the area behind the guide slope 4142 of the sliding part 4141 and is kept a certain distance from the stop part 4143 to form a connecting area 415.

[0050] Combination Figures 4 to 7As shown, the second quick-connect structure 42 includes at least a second sidewall 421 with a certain height. Corresponding to the number of first connecting portions 414 of the first quick-connect structure 41, a plurality of second connecting portions 422 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second sidewall 421. The second connecting portions 422 protrude outward from the outer periphery of the second sidewall 421 and are located near the end of the second sidewall 421 close to the first quick-connect structure 41. Preferably, one surface of the second connecting portion 422 is flush with the edge of that end of the second sidewall 421. At least one locking portion 4221 is formed on the outer surface of the second connecting portion 422 away from the second sidewall 421. Preferably, there may be more than one locking portion 4221. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are three locking portions 4221. The locking part 4221, which matches the elastic part 413, is a groove extending along the height direction. Therefore, during the rotational matching process of the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42, either locking part 4221 can accommodate the elastic part 413 and emit a beep to indicate that the quick-connect is in place. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the locking part 4221 can also be a centrally raised structure, while the elastic part 413 is provided with a groove, in which case the two can still match. The second quick-connect structure 42 also includes a receiving area 424 formed in the center of the area enclosed by the second sidewall 421, which can partially accommodate the extension of the motor shaft 321.

[0051] like Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 approach each other along the height direction until the first sidewall 411 covers the second sidewall 421. Then, they rotate relative to each other, which can be one of them fixed while the other rotates relative to the former. Specifically, the second connecting part 422 rotates relative to the first connecting part 414. Initially, it slides along the guide slope 4142 for smooth assembly. Then, it slides along the surface of the sliding part 4141 until the second connecting part 422 enters the connecting area 415 defined by the elastic part 413 and the stop part 4143. The locking part 4221 slides past the elastic part 413 until the side of the second connecting part 422 abuts against the stop part 4143. At this time, one of the locking parts 4221 finally accommodates the elastic part 413 and emits a prompt sound. Therefore, it serves to remind that the installation is in place and prevent the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 from disengaging. Furthermore, the engagement of the elastic portion 413 and the locking portion 4221 prevents the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 from disengaging under the vibration of the fan assembly 3 during long-term operation, thereby ensuring the reliable installation of the lamp assembly 5. If the fan assembly 3 and the lamp assembly 5 rotate in opposite directions, the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 first overcome the engagement force of the elastic portion 413 and the locking portion 4221, and then they can be separated.

[0052] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first quick-connect structure 41 is assembled to the fan assembly 3. Specifically, the first quick-connect structure 41 is assembled to the motor assembly 32 of the fan assembly 3 via the mounting part 4122. Preferably, to increase the bonding strength, the fan light 100 further includes a reinforcing member 6, which is sleeved on the motor shaft 321 and located below the rotating disk 33, thereby covering the rotor assembly 322. The reinforcing member 6 is circular and is assembled from bottom to top to the first quick-connect structure 41 from the inside until it abuts against the extension wall 412, filling the hollow area of ​​the first quick-connect structure 41. The outer periphery of the reinforcing member 6 is flat, and corresponding to the mounting portion 4122, it has spaced mating portions 61. When the outer periphery of the reinforcing member 6 abuts against the lower part of the extension wall 412, the mating portions 61 are also located below the mounting portion 4122, and have a second mounting hole 610 aligned with the first mounting hole 4123 of the mounting portion 4122. Thus, when the reinforcing member 6 is fitted onto the motor shaft 321, screws (not shown) can pass through the motor assembly 32, the first mounting hole 4123, and the second mounting hole 610, respectively, thereby assembling the first quick-connect structure 41 onto the motor assembly 32. Of course, the screws can also be assembled in reverse. The central region of the reinforcing member 6 has a first through hole (not labeled) through which the motor shaft 321 of the motor assembly 32 can pass. When the rotor assembly 322 in the motor assembly 32 rotates relative to the motor shaft 321, the first quick-connect structure 41 remains stationary relative to the motor shaft 321. In other words, when the fan assembly 3 of the fan light 100 is operating, the first quick-connect structure 41 remains stationary relative to the lamp assembly 5, while rotating relative to the fan assembly 3. In other embodiments, the first quick-connect structure 41 may also be rotatably connected to the fan blade assembly 31 in the fan assembly 3. That is, the first quick-connect structure 41 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 33 in the fan blade assembly 31 via a rotating shaft. The present invention is not limited in this respect, as long as the first quick-connect structure 41 can maintain a rotatable connection with the fan assembly 3 while maintaining a relatively stationary connection with the lamp assembly 5.

[0053] Preferably, the number of second connecting portions 422 is a multiple of the number of first connecting portions 414, and the number of second connecting portions 422 is not less than the number of first connecting portions 414. Specifically, the number of first connecting portions 414 is preferably 3, and the number of second connecting portions 422 is 3 or 6, and they are spaced at the same angle. With this configuration, only a small angle rotation is needed to achieve the mechanical connection between the first connecting portion 414 of the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second connecting portion 422 of the second quick-connect structure 42, making the installation and removal of the fan light 100 with this quick-connect assembly 4 faster.

[0054] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in terms of electrical connection, the first quick-connect structure 41 is electrically connected to the motor assembly 32, and the second quick-connect structure 42 is electrically connected to the lamp assembly 5. The first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 are electrically connected to each other to supply power to the lamp assembly 5. The electrical connection method may include: the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 are respectively provided with a first electrical connection portion (not shown) and a second electrical connection portion (not shown), typically located in the middle region of the two and electrically connected after mechanical connection. The first electrical connection portion on the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second electrical connection portion on the second quick-connect structure 42 are interlocked, that is, the first electrical connection portion and the second electrical connection portion are interlocked to achieve electrical connection. In an optional embodiment, the first electrical connection portion includes at least two mutually insulated receiving grooves, each receiving groove having a coupling portion capable of electrical connection. Correspondingly, the second electrical connection portion also has at least two conductive terminals, each conductive terminal being electrically connected to the coupling portion in each receiving groove. In other embodiments, the first electrical connection portion of the first quick-connect structure 41 may be provided with conductive terminals instead of receiving slots, and the corresponding second electrical connection portion of the second quick-connect structure 42 may be provided with receiving slots instead of conductive terminals. To achieve effective electrical connection, the receiving slots are mutually insulated. When there are two receiving slots, the two receiving slots are the L pole and N pole, respectively. When there are three receiving slots, the three receiving slots are the L pole, ground pole, and N pole, respectively. Furthermore, the number of receiving slots may be more than three, such as four, five, etc. At least two receiving slots on the first electrical connection portion are arranged concentrically around a rotation axis. Of course, in other embodiments, at least two receiving slots may be located on the same circumference, in which case the receiving slots are arc-shaped, and the distance from each receiving slot 4127 to the center of the circumference is the same.

[0055] Correspondingly, the second electrical connection portion of the second quick-connect structure 42 includes a first conductive terminal, a second conductive terminal, and a third conductive terminal distributed sequentially from the outside in. The first and second conductive terminals are metal rings adapted to the size and shape of the first and second receiving grooves, respectively, while the third conductive terminal is a metal needle adapted to the size and shape of the third receiving groove. Of course, all conductive terminals on the second quick-connect structure 42 can also be metal rings. Furthermore, the first, second, and third conductive terminals are mutually insulated and form a rotating structure centered on a rotation axis, i.e., they can be concentric circles. Of course, when there are two conductive terminals, they can also be concentric circles. As a variation, the conductive terminals on the second quick-connect structure 42 can be distributed on the same circumference of the rotation axis. In this case, the conductive terminals can all be metal needles, and the corresponding receiving grooves are arc-shaped, allowing at least two conductive terminals to rotate relative to each other after being inserted into the receiving grooves.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connection adopts a simplified structure – a wire connection. The motor shaft 321 is hollow and can pass through wires. The wires introduced from the mounting base can pass through the motor shaft 321 and exit from the end of the motor shaft 321 to reach the wiring port 423 of the second quick-connect structure 42, and then enter the interior of the lamp assembly 5 to directly connect electrically with the light source assembly and / or the drive assembly (not shown). The light source assembly is located on the side of the lamp assembly 5 facing away from the first part. Whether an electrical connection part or a direct wire connection is used, as long as power supply to the lamp assembly 5 can be achieved, it is acceptable.

[0057] When the fan light 100 needs to be disassembled, simply rotate the second quick-connect structure 42 in the opposite direction to the installation direction. After overcoming the bonding force between the elastic part 413 and the locking part 4221, the light fixture assembly 5 and the fan assembly 3 can be quickly separated. The quick connection between the first quick-connect structure 41 and the second quick-connect structure 42 facilitates the rapid installation of the light fixture assembly 5 and the fan assembly 3, improving the installation efficiency of the fan light 100. This allows for single-person installation and disassembly, saving time and effort while ensuring high efficiency and safety.

[0058] In summary, the quick-connect assembly 4 of the present invention is mainly applied to the fan light 100. The quick-connect assembly 4 has a simple structure and beautiful appearance. It uses the first quick-connect structure 41 to realize the rotatable connection with the fan assembly 3 and the second quick-connect structure 42 to realize the detachable connection with the lamp assembly 5.
