DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, a lamp function module mounting buckle assembly is provided, comprising a lamp function module 1 and a mounting plate 2 for mounting the lamp function module 1, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 ; Wherein, the lamp function module 1 includes the lamp's emergency module, sensing module, driving module and / or electronic controller.

[0044] Continue to see Figure 2 and Figure 6 ,contrast Figure 1 and Figure 5 The mounting plate 2 is provided with at least two buckle pieces 21 that can be folded upward relative to its mounting surface. The buckle pieces 21 are sheet-like structures, which are integrally formed with the mounting plate 2. The buckle pieces 21 themselves are not elastic; Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 2 is provided with an opening 22 corresponding one to one with the buckle piece 21, and the opening 22 includes a receiving portion and an extending portion, wherein the receiving portion is configured to receive the unfolded buckle piece 21, and the extending portion is used to perform a folding operation on the buckle piece 21, for example, a finger or a workpiece can pass through the extending portion and apply force to the buckle piece 21.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The housing of the lamp function module 1 is provided with a buckle groove channel 11 which cooperates with the buckle piece 21, and the buckle groove channel 11 is provided with a vertical channel;

[0046] In this embodiment, the buckle plate 21 is provided with a concave hole 211, and the groove wall of the buckle groove channel 11 is provided with a convex portion 113 that is snap-fitted with the concave hole 211. Figure 3 and Figure 4The present invention does not limit the concave hole to be on the buckle plate and the convex part to be on the buckle groove channel. In other embodiments of the present invention, the groove wall of the buckle groove channel 11 is provided with a concave hole, and the buckle plate 21 is provided with a convex part that matches the concave hole, and the buckle connection between the two can also be completed;

[0047] The lamp function module 1 can be mounted on the mounting plate 2 by only inserting the buckle piece 21 into the buckle groove channel 11 and snap-fitting. Figure 3 shown.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, each buckle groove channel 11 includes a first groove wall 111 and a second groove wall 112 arranged opposite to each other, and the second groove wall 112 is provided with the convex portion 113; Figure 2 As shown, the second groove wall 112 is provided with a notch 114 extending along the insertion direction of the buckle piece 21, so that when the buckle piece 21 is inserted into the buckle groove channel 11 and the buckle piece 21 is not in the concave hole 211 and abuts against the convex portion 113, the second groove wall 112 can be elastically deformed more easily. In addition, the convex portion 113 has a guiding inclined surface approaching the first groove wall 111 in the insertion direction of the buckle piece 21, so that the convex portion 113 can slide into the concave hole 211 more easily.

[0049] The number of the concave holes 211 on each buckle plate 21 and the number of the convex parts 113 on the groove wall of each buckle groove channel 11 are multiple and correspond to each other. Figure 2 and Figure 6 , each buckle piece 21 has two concave holes 211, and each buckle groove channel 11 has two convex parts 113 on its groove wall; conversely, two concave holes are provided on the groove wall of each buckle groove channel 11 and two convex parts are provided on each buckle piece 21, which can also realize the technical solution of the present invention;

[0050] The protrusion is configured to abut against the concave hole when the lamp function module 1 abuts against the mounting surface of the mounting plate 2 , that is, the lamp function module 1 and the mounting plate 2 cannot move up and down or left and right.

[0051] Figure 2 and Figure 6 The buckles on the middle mounting plate 2 for fixing the lamp function module 1 are arranged at both ends. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The differences include: Figure 2 Each end is provided with two oppositely disposed buckle pieces 21. Figure 6 A clasp 21 is provided at each end; obviously, there are more than these two specific ways to set the clasp 21, such as setting a clasp 21 on one side. Figure 2 Two buckle pieces 21 are arranged opposite to each other, and a Figure 6If the volume or weight of the lamp function module 1 is large, three buckles 21 may be provided at each end; even more buckles 21 may be provided.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the second groove wall 112 is partially provided with a structure with a thinned thickness, so that even when the buckle 21 is inserted into the buckle groove channel 11, that is, after the lamp function module 1 and the mounting plate 2 are assembled, there is still space for releasing the buckle: use your fingers or tools to apply force to the thinned thickness to move the second groove wall 112 away from the first groove wall 111, so that the buckle 21 can be separated from the buckle groove channel 11 and the lamp function module 1 can be further separated from the mounting plate 2.

[0053] The lamp function module mounting buckle assembly of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to many different types of lamps. For example, one or more of an emergency module, a sensing module, a driving module, and an electronic controller can be assembled on a lamp having a light source in the form of the buckle assembly. The following is an explanation using three different types of lamps as examples:

[0054] Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is an application schematic diagram of a three-proof lamp, which includes a lamp holder 3 and a lampshade 4 that are snap-connected. The mounting plate 2 can be a lamp board of the lamp, and the lamp board is arranged on the lamp holder 3. A plurality of lamp function modules 1 are arranged on the mounting plate 2, and the lamp function modules 1 include an electronic controller, a drive module, an emergency module and a sensing module.

[0055] Fig. 9 and Fig.10 It is an application schematic diagram of a bracket lamp, which includes an upper lamp body 5 and a lower lamp body 6 that are snap-fitted together. The mounting plate 2 can be a lamp board of the lamp, and the lamp board is the bottom surface of the lower lamp body 6. A plurality of lamp function modules 1 are provided on the mounting plate 2, and the lamp function modules 1 include an electronic controller, a drive module, an emergency module and a sensing module.

[0056] Figure 7 The three-proof lamp and Fig. 9 The differences between the bracket lamps in the three-proof lamp include: the mounting plate 2 (i.e. the light board) in the tri-proof lamp is in the middle of the overall lamp, while the mounting plate 2 (i.e. the light board) in the bracket lamp is at the bottom of the overall lamp, that is, the mounting plate serves as a support plate at the bottom of the lamp.

[0057] Fig.11 and Fig.12The application diagram of the ceiling lamp includes a ceiling lamp holder 7 and a ceiling lamp cover 8. The mounting plate 2 may be a lamp board of the lamp, which is arranged on the ceiling lamp holder 7. The lamp function module 1 of the buckle assembly is an electronic controller. The present invention does not exclude that the ceiling lamp is square or other shapes, nor does it exclude that the area of ​​the ceiling lamp is sufficient to accommodate other modular modules other than the electronic controller, which are also mounted on the mounting plate 2 of the ceiling lamp in the form of a buckle assembly.

[0058] In addition to the lamp panel of the lamp, other shells with a mounting surface on the lamp can also be used as the mounting plate 2.

[0059] A lamp assembly method based on a buckle assembly comprises the following steps:

[0060] Fold the buckle piece on the mounting plate upward relative to the surface of the mounting plate where the lamp function module is mounted;

[0061] Move the lamp function module downward from a position opposite to the mounting plate, so that the buckle piece passes through the buckle groove channel on the lamp function module until the convex part and the concave hole form a limiting relationship;

[0062] The buckle assembly is assembled with the light source, the base and the lampshade of the lamp to obtain the lamp.

[0063] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0064] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
