[0026] In order to further explain the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be described in detail through specific embodiments.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2-12 , a spring mechanism capable of self-locking and rebounding comprises a base 1, a spring fixing support 2, a rolling shaft 3, a spring 4, a rotating shaft 5, and a reset spring 6 which cooperate with each other; wherein the base 1 is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 11 on both sides; the spring fixing support 2 is symmetrically arranged on the base 1, and a hinge shaft is respectively arranged between the outer sides and the inner cavity wall, and an upwardly inclined sliding groove 21 is symmetrically arranged on the upper part; the rolling shaft 3 is arranged in the sliding groove 21 and moves along the sliding groove; the spring 4 is a door frame type structure, the bottom part is respectively hinged to the hinge shafts on both outer sides of the spring fixing support, a narrow section 41 is formed between the two side rods at the lower part, and a wide section 42 is formed at the upper part, the length of the narrow section 41 is less than the length of the rolling shaft 3, and the length of the wide section 42 is greater than the length of the rolling shaft 3; the rotating shaft 5 is respectively hinged to the hinge shafts between the inner cavity walls of the spring fixing support, the rotating shaft 5 is respectively provided with an outer arm 51 and an inner arm 52 on both sides, the outer arm 51 extends out of the limiting grooves 11 of the spring fixing support 2 and the base 1, the inner arm 52 cooperates with the rolling shaft 3, when the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the inner arm 52 drives the rolling shaft 3 to move along the sliding groove 21, thereby disengaging the limited spring 4 and making it rebound downward and position; the reset spring 6 is hooked between the inner arm 52 and the base 1.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the spring fixing support 2 is a U-shaped plate structure, the bottom is fixed on the bottom plate 12 of the base 1, the top is open, each support has a hinge shaft 1 22 on the two outer sides, and another hinge shaft 2 23 is arranged between the two inner sides; two sliding grooves 21 are arranged on the two side walls of the support, the sliding grooves are symmetrically inclined upward and penetrate the two side walls, and the top of the sliding groove forms a straight section 211. The rolling shaft 3 is a stepped shaft with small ends and a large middle part, and the two ends are respectively accommodated in the sliding groove 21. The spring 4 is a door frame structure formed by bending a cylindrical rod, the two bottom parts 43 are hinged on the hinge shaft 1 22 in a spring shape, the top part 44 is horizontally arranged above the support, the two rod bending parts near the bottom form a narrow section 41 to block the rolling shaft 3, and the two rod bending parts near the middle part form a wide section 42 to be separated from the rolling shaft 3. The rotating shaft 5 is a plate structure, a hinge part 53 is arranged in the middle and hinged on the hinge shaft 2 23, and an outer arm 51 and an inner arm 52 are respectively formed on the two sides.

[0029] The above structure can be used in various products. The present application takes a lighting device tube lamp as an example. The tube lamp with the self-locking and rebounding spring mechanism is installed. The base 1 is the rear cover of the lighting device. The rear cover is installed on the lighting device body 7. The rear cover and the lighting device body 7 are positioned in the installation hole 8 through the self-locking and rebounding spring mechanism.

[0030] As Figures 2-6 The installation schematic diagram of the present application is shown in the figure. In the normal state, the spring naturally droops on the two sides of the tube lamp body. Before installation, the spring is pulled upward to the bottom. The narrow section of the spring is clamped by the two sides of the rolling shaft, forming a self-locking mechanism to prevent the spring from rebounding. In the self-locking state of the spring, the spring is inserted into the installation hole. Since the outer arm of the rotating shaft is larger than the installation hole, the outer arm of the rotating shaft is touched during the installation process to make the rotating shaft rotate around the shaft center. During the rotating process, the inner arm pushes the rolling shaft upward along the sliding groove to the position where the spring is separated from the rolling shaft to make the spring rebound. The spring is installed in place and clamped on the upper wall of the installation hole.

[0031] The present application solves the problem that the construction worker has to bend the spring with both hands on the ceiling. After the product is connected, the spring is bent to the top. The self-locking mechanism locks the spring. The spring is in a fixed state. At this time, the tube lamp can be installed into the ceiling installation hole with one hand. The tube lamp touches the ceiling to trigger the spring rebounding mechanism. The spring rebounds. The tube lamp is normally fixed on the ceiling.

[0032] Through the spring self-locking and rebounding mechanism, the construction worker can operate with one hand. The product is easily installed into the ceiling. The construction worker can operate the lamp with one hand and hold the safety area with the other hand to ensure personal safety. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0033] The foregoing description has shown and described preferred embodiments of the application, but it will be understood that the application is not limited to the particular embodiments shown and described, as such will have many modifications, permutations, additions and subtractions and changes thereof, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It is therefore contemplated to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that come within the scope of the application.
