[0003] CN104696782B and CN104696788B disclose the installation structure of spotlights, but they involve many parts, are inconvenient to operate, and have high manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention proposes a spotlight that is easy to install.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] A spotlight that is easy to install, characterized in that it comprises:

[0007] A fastener comprises a fixing part and positioning ends and blocking ends located at both ends of the fixing part. The positioning end has a through groove and a movable opening, the through groove communicating with the movable opening. The inner wall of the blocking end has a notch.

[0008] A mounting component is provided at the lower end of the fixing component. The mounting component consists of a mounting portion and a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm located at both ends of the mounting portion. The upper end of the first elastic arm passes through a movable opening and is placed in a through groove. The second elastic arm engages with a notch on the blocking end.

[0009] The spotlight assembly is fixed to the lower end of the mounting section.

[0010] In this invention, the positioning end has a protrusion extending into the movable opening, and the protrusion has a first inclined surface facing the through groove direction.

[0011] In this invention, the positioning end has a first contact surface and a second inclined surface, the second inclined surface is located in the movable opening, and the angle between the first contact surface and the second inclined surface is H1.

[0012] In this invention, the first elastic arm is composed of a first vertical segment, a first elastic segment, a second vertical segment, a first contact segment, a second elastic segment, and a deformation portion from bottom to top. The bottom of the positioning end has a second contact surface, and the first contact segment contacts the second contact surface.

[0013] In this invention, the deformable portion is composed of a second contact segment, an abutment segment, a connecting segment, and a deformable segment from bottom to top. The deformable segment contacts the first inclined surface, the abutment segment contacts the second inclined surface, and the second contact segment contacts the first contact surface.

[0014] In this invention, the angle between the second elastic segment and the second contact segment is H3, where H3 < 90°, and the first contact surface and the second contact surface are arranged perpendicularly.

[0015] In this invention, the angle between the abutting section and the second contact section is H4, where H1 > H4.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this easy-to-install spotlight of the present invention includes a fixing member 1, a mounting member 2 disposed at the lower end of the fixing member 1, and a spotlight assembly 4 fixed at the lower end of the mounting part 3. The fixing member 1 is used to fix it to the building, for example, when a spotlight is installed in a home, it is installed on the ceiling, while the mounting member 2 is disposed on the spotlight assembly 4, and then the mounting member 2 is placed in the fixing member 1.

[0033] When the mounting component 2 is placed in the fixing component 1, it is only necessary to apply force to the second elastic arm 5 of the mounting component 2 towards the first elastic arm 6, causing the second elastic arm 5 to deform. Then, the deformed part 7 of the first elastic arm 6 is passed through the movable opening 8 and placed in the through groove 9. The first elastic arm 6 is fixed to the positioning end 13 through the cooperation of the first contact section 10, the second contact section 11, and the deformed section 12. After the second elastic arm 5 deforms, it enters the lower end of the fixing part 14. Then, the force applied to the second elastic arm 5 is released, allowing the second elastic arm 5 to recover under its own elasticity, so that the mating part 24 is placed in the notch 15, and the entire mounting component 2 and the spotlight assembly 4 are installed at the lower end of the fixing component 1.

[0034] The fixing member 1 consists of a fixing part 14 and a positioning end 13 and a blocking end 16 located at both ends of the fixing part 14. The thickness of the positioning end 13 is greater than the thickness of the blocking end 16. Since there is a through groove 9 and a movable opening 8 in the positioning end 13, it is necessary to ensure that the through groove 9 and the movable opening 8 can withstand the weight of multiple spotlight assemblies 4.

[0035] In addition, the lower end of the fixing part 14 is hollowed out, which makes it easy to lay wires. A slide can be provided on the bottom surface of the fixing part 14, and then a sliding plate can be set on the slide. The wires are laid between the sliding plate and the fixing plate, which makes it easy to connect to the spotlight assembly 4. At the same time, it also allows the spotlight assembly 4 to be powered when it moves on the fixing part 1.

[0036] The height of the blocking end 16 on the fixing member 1 is also less than the height of the positioning end 13, ensuring that the lower end of the blocking end 16 has sufficient space to place the second elastic arm 5. When the second elastic arm 5 is placed at the lower end of the blocking end 16, the length of the second elastic arm 5 is long enough to cooperate and contact with the blocking end 16, thereby allowing the mounting member 2 to be set on the fixing member 1 and keeping the mounting member 2 able to move in the middle position of the fixing member 1.

[0037] Furthermore, when the length of the second elastic arm 5 is set to be relatively long, it can ensure that when the installer places the installation part 2, the force application point can be moved closer to the position of the horizontal part 17, thereby saving effort and making it easier to move the upper end of the second elastic arm 5 towards the direction of the first elastic arm 6, so that it can enter the lower end of the fixing part 14.

[0038] When the positioning end 13 is thicker, it can ensure contact with the first elastic arm 6, thereby strengthening the overall strength of the first elastic arm 6 and enabling it to withstand the weight from multiple spotlight assemblies 4.

[0039] The fastener 1 and the mounting component 2 in this invention can be integrally molded, which not only reduces manufacturing steps but also improves the overall quality of the fastener 1 and the mounting component 2. Furthermore, the fewer parts used significantly reduce the installation process of the entire spotlight assembly 4, making it easy to operate with one hand and improving the installation efficiency of the entire spotlight assembly 4.

[0040] The positioning end 13 has a through groove 9 and a movable opening 8, with the through groove 9 communicating with the movable opening 8. Cover plates 18 are provided at both ends of the fixing member 1. These cover plates 18 can be bolted to both ends of the fixing member 1 to limit the displacement of the mounting member 2 and also serve an aesthetic purpose.

[0041] The positioning end 13 has a protrusion 19 extending into the movable opening 8. The protrusion 19 has a first inclined surface 20 facing the through groove 9. The first inclined surface 20 is located at the upper end of the movable opening 8. The first inclined surface 20 is used to cooperate with the deformation section 12 to block the position of the deformation section 12, so that the mounting part 2 will not fall out of the movable opening 8.

[0042] The positioning end 13 has a first contact surface 21 and a second inclined surface 22. The first contact surface 21 faces the blocking end 16, and the second inclined surface 22 is located in the movable opening 8. The angle between the first contact surface 21 and the second inclined surface 22 is H1, where H1 < 90°. The second inclined surface 22 gradually rises from the through groove 9 toward the movable opening 8, thereby gradually reducing the diameter of the movable opening 8. This allows it to cooperate with the second contact section 11 and the abutment section 23 to fix the mounting part 2 in the through groove 9.

[0043] The inner wall of the blocking end 16 has a notch 15, and the angle between the second elastic arm 5 and the mounting part 3 is H2, where H2 > 90°. Since the angle between the second elastic arm 5 and the mounting part 3 is greater than 90°, the mating part 24 can be placed in the notch 15, thereby ensuring the fit between the mounting part 2 and the fixing part 1.

[0044] The second elastic arm 5 has a mating part 24, a vertical part 25, and a horizontal part 17, with the mating part 24 positioned in the notch 15. A clamping area 26 is formed between the mating part 24, the vertical part 25, and the horizontal part 17, and the blocking end 16 is located in the clamping area 26.

[0045] Mounting component 2 consists of mounting part 3 and a first elastic arm 6 and a second elastic arm 5 located at both ends of mounting part 3. The upper end of the first elastic arm 6 passes through the movable opening 8 and is placed in the through groove 9, and the second elastic arm 5 is in contact with the notch 15 on the blocking end 16.

[0046] The first elastic arm 6 is composed of a first vertical segment 27, a first elastic segment 28, a second vertical segment 29, a first contact segment 10, a second elastic segment 30, and a deformable part 7 from bottom to top. The bottom of the positioning end 13 has a second contact surface 31, and the first contact segment 10 contacts the second contact surface 31.

[0047] The deformable part 7 consists of a second contact section 11, an abutment section 23, a connecting section 33 and a deformable section 12 from bottom to top. The deformable section 12 contacts the first inclined surface 20, the abutment section 23 contacts the second inclined surface 22, and the second contact section 11 contacts the first contact surface 21.

[0048] A first deformation region 34 is formed between the second elastic segment 30 and the contact segment 11, and a second deformation region 35 is formed between the first elastic segment 28 and the second elastic segment 30.

[0049] The angle between the second elastic segment 30 and the second contact segment 11 is H3, where H3 < 90°, and the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 31 are perpendicularly arranged. The angle between the abutting segment 23 and the second contact segment 11 is H4, where H1 > H4.

[0050] After the mounting part 2 is installed at the lower end of the fixing part 1, the first deformation area 34 will be opened, so that the abutting section 23, the connecting section 33 and the deformation section 12 will move upward, so that the angle H4, which was originally smaller than H1, will match the angle of H1, thereby clamping part of the positioning end 13 in the first deformation area 34.

[0051] Furthermore, H3, which was originally less than 90°, will also cooperate with the positioning end 13, thereby increasing the angle of H3, and the second contact segment 11 will cooperate with the first contact surface 21, becoming parallel to each other.

[0052] After the second elastic segment 30 is installed, the first contact segment 10 contacts the second contact surface 31, forming a movable gap 36 between the second elastic segment 30 and the second contact surface 31. This movable gap 36 is a space reserved for the disassembly of the mounting component 2, ensuring that the connection between the first contact surface 21 and the second contact surface 31 can enter the movable gap 36 when the mounting component 2 is disassembled and rotated.

[0053] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the normal state of mounting component 2, a contraction region 32 is formed between the first elastic arm 6 and the second elastic arm 5. At this time, the area of ​​the contraction region 32 is at its maximum, and the deformed portion 7 on the first elastic arm 6 and the second elastic arm 5 are both open outward. The angle H2 is less than 90°, while the angle H3 is greater than 90°. This allows the deformed portion 7 and the second elastic arm 5 to be restricted by the positioning end 13 and the blocking end 16 after being installed in the fixing component 1, resulting in an increase in the angle H2 and a decrease in the angle H3.

[0054] Before installation, the deformable part 7 will shrink in the direction of F3, reducing the area of ​​the first deformable region 34. After the deformable part 7 is installed on the fastener 1, the abutting section 23 will be pushed upward by the second inclined surface 22, causing the abutting section 23, the connecting section 33 and the deformable section 12 to move upward, fixing the deformable part 7 in the through groove 9.

[0055] During installation, the mounting component 2 is first subjected to a force in the direction F1 on the second elastic arm 5. Then, the mounting component 2 is moved in the direction F2 and rotated at a certain angle around the direction S1, so that the deformable part 7 is placed in the through groove 9 and the second elastic arm 5 is located at the lower end of the fixed part 14. Then, the deformable section 12 passes through the movable opening 8 and is placed in the through groove 9, contacting the vertical surface 37 in the through groove 9. Then, the abutting section 23 is pressed onto the second inclined surface 22. The second contact section 11 contacts the first contact surface 21, and the deformable section 12 contacts the first inclined surface 20. The deformable section 12 is blocked by the extension, while the abutting section 23 is blocked by the second inclined surface 22, keeping the position of the first elastic arm 6 unchanged. Then, the external force applied in the direction F1 is removed, so that the second elastic arm 5 returns to its original state under its own elasticity. However, the second elastic arm 5 is blocked by the blocking end 16, the mating part 24 enters the notch 15, and the blocking end 16 enters the clamping area 26.

[0056] After installation, the deformable part 7 and the second elastic arm 5 will be affected by their own elasticity, thereby generating friction between them and the fixing part 1, which can keep the position of the spotlight assembly 4 at this location from easily changing.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
