Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal clip technology for flat panel lights, specifically to a clip structure and a flat panel light. Background Technology

[0002] Flat panel lights are a common type of lighting fixture in everyday homes. Nowadays, most flat panel lights on the market are installed using metal clips in a surface-mounted or recessed manner. Existing metal clips are usually made by bending metal sheets, and for ease of processing, the bending points are all formed by a single bend.

[0003] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the existing metal buckle includes a first bent section 8 and a second bent section 9. Both the first bent section 8 and the second bent section 9 are flat. The second bent section 9 is bent outward relative to the metal sheet 7. The angle between the first bent section 8 and the metal sheet 7 is about 30°. During the use of the lamp, after being subjected to downward gravity, the component of its gravity parallel to the contact surface is about 86.6% of the lamp itself. The presence of a large component force can easily push the buckle up, thereby causing the lamp to loosen or become loose.

[0004] Therefore, existing metal buckles are prone to falling off after long-term use due to their weak load-bearing capacity, posing a safety risk. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snap-fit ​​structure and a flat panel light to solve the technical problem that existing flat panel lights using metal snap-fit ​​devices have weak load-bearing capacity and are at risk of falling off after prolonged use. The preferred technical solution among the many technical solutions provided by this invention can produce many technical effects, as detailed below.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The present invention provides a snap-fit ​​structure, including a snap-fit ​​body, wherein the snap-fit ​​body includes an installation section, an arc section and a raised section connected in sequence, wherein: the installation section is used for installing the snap-fit ​​body; the protrusion direction of the arc section is the same as the raised direction of the raised section; and the raised section is used for snapping in a lamp.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting section is configured as a flat plate.

[0009] Preferably, the angle α between the tangent of the arc segment away from the mounting segment and the mounting segment is set to 60-80°.

[0010] Preferably, the outer corner of the edge where the arc segment connects to the upturned segment is set as a first rounded corner.

[0011] Preferably, the outer corner of the edge where the arc segment connects to the mounting segment is set as a second rounded corner.

[0012] Preferably, the distance 'a' between the edge of the raised section away from the arc section and the plane where the mounting section is located is set to 2.5 to 3.5 mm.

[0013] Preferably, the raised section is configured as an arc shape, and the protrusion direction of the raised section is opposite to the protrusion direction of the arc section.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting section is provided with a mounting part; the buckle body can be detachably installed via the mounting part.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting part is configured as a mounting hole; the number of mounting holes is set to multiple.

[0016] The present invention provides a flat panel lamp including any of the aforementioned snap-fit ​​structures.

[0017] The snap-fit ​​structure and flat panel light provided by this invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The buckle structure includes a buckle body, which includes a mounting section, an arc section, and a raised section connected in sequence. The mounting section is used for mounting the buckle body, and the raised section is used for snapping into the edge of the lamp.

[0019] The convex direction of the arc segment is the same as the upward direction of the upturned segment. The structure of the arc segment has a large angle between the tangent of the edge of the arc segment away from the installation segment and the installation segment. Compared with existing metal buckles, it can significantly reduce the component of gravity parallel to the contact surface. Without increasing the number of buckles, it can effectively increase the load-bearing capacity of the buckle on the lamp and avoid the risk of falling due to long-term use.

[0020] This invention features an installation section that allows for stable installation of the buckle body, a lifting section that makes lamp assembly easier and more convenient, and an arc section that significantly reduces the component of the lamp's weight parallel to the buckle's installation contact surface, thereby increasing the buckle's load-bearing capacity on the lamp and effectively preventing the risk of falling, thus improving the safety and reliability of the lamp.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This invention provides a snap-fit ​​structure, which is mainly applicable to flat panel lights.

[0037] refer to Figures 3 to 5As shown, the buckle structure includes a buckle body, which includes an installation section 1, an arc section 2, and a lifting section 3 connected in sequence. The installation section 1, the arc section 2, and the lifting section 3 are integrally formed.

[0038] Mounting section 1 is used for mounting the buckle body; the protrusion direction of the arc section 2 is the same as the lifting direction of the lifting section 3; the lifting section 3 forms an opening for the lamp to be inserted.

[0039] During installation, the mounting section 1 is fixed to the inner wall of the flat panel light frame, and the edge of the light fixture is inserted into the inside of the buckle body through the opening.

[0040] When in use, due to the use of an arc-shaped structure, the tangent of the edge of the arc segment 2 away from the installation segment 1 has a large angle with the installation segment 1. Compared with existing metal clips, it can significantly reduce the component of the lamp's weight parallel to the clip contact surface, thereby effectively increasing the clip's load-bearing capacity on the lamp, avoiding safety hazards caused by falling off due to long-term use, and improving the safety and reliability of use.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Example 2 is based on Example 1:

[0043] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the mounting section 1 is set to a flat plate shape. During installation, the mounting section 1 is vertically fixed to the inner wall of the frame of the flat plate lamp 6.

[0044] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the angle α between the tangent of the edge of the arc segment 2 away from the mounting segment 1 and the mounting segment 1 is set to 60-80°.

[0045] Thus, compared to existing metal buckles, it has a larger included angle, which can effectively reduce the component of gravity parallel to the buckle contact surface.

[0046] Preferably, the angle α between the tangent of the edge of the arc segment 2 furthest from the mounting segment 1 and the mounting segment 1 is set to approximately 76°. Taking a lamp with a rated weight of 2.2 kg as an example, combined with... Figure 7 From the force analysis shown, we can see that:

[0047] F 平行 = 2.2 kgf × g × Cos(α);

[0048] The component of the force parallel to the contact surface of the existing metal buckle is: F 平行 =18.67N;

[0049] The component of the force parallel to the contact surface in this invention is: F 平行 =5.22N;

[0050] Therefore, compared with existing metal buckles, the present invention can significantly reduce F. 平行 And the present invention F 平行 With a weight of only 24.2% of its own weight, the load-bearing capacity of this invention is 3.5 times that of existing metal buckles, making it extremely safe and reliable to use.

[0051] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer corner of the edge where the arc segment 2 connects to the upturned segment 3 is set as the first rounded corner 4. The first rounded corner 4 can further increase the angle between the buckle and the contact surface of the lamp after the lamp is inserted, and reduce the horizontal component force that lifts the buckle.

[0052] Preferably, the radius r of the first fillet 4 is set to 0.5 mm.

[0053] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer corner of the edge where the arc segment 2 connects to the mounting segment 1 is set as a second rounded corner 5, making the transition between the mounting segment 1 and the arc segment 2 more natural and smooth.

[0054] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the distance 'a' between the edge of the raised section 3 away from the arc section 2 and the plane where the mounting section 1 is located is set to 2.5 to 3.5 mm. The raised section 3 can form a larger opening, which facilitates the insertion of the lamp.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the existing metal buckle adopts a second bending section 9 with a flat structure. The distance between the edge of the metal sheet 7 away from the plane of the metal sheet 7 is usually 1.6mm. During assembly, the lamp needs to be accurately aligned in order to insert the lamp.

[0056] Preferably, the distance 'a' between the edge of the raised section 3 away from the arc section 2 and the plane where the mounting section 1 is located is set to 3mm. This effectively ensures the opening distance and allows the luminaire to shift 1 times when it is inserted, making it easier for the luminaire to be inserted.

[0057] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the raised section 3 is set in an arc shape, and the protrusion direction of the raised section 3 is opposite to the protrusion direction of the arc section 2.

[0058] Preferably, the radius R of the lifting section 3 is set to 3mm. The arc-shaped lifting section 3 makes it easy to lift the buckle when the lamp is inserted, making the assembly operation more labor-saving.

[0059] As an optional implementation, the mounting section 1 is provided with a mounting part 11.

[0060] During installation, the buckle body can be detachably installed onto the inner wall of the flat panel light frame via the mounting part 11.

[0061] As an optional implementation method, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the mounting part 11 is configured with mounting holes 111; the number of mounting holes 111 is set to multiple, and the buckle body can be installed by passing threaded fasteners through the corresponding mounting holes 111, which is secure and easy to operate.

[0062] Preferably, the number of mounting holes 111 is set to two.

[0063] Example 3:

[0064] Example 3 is based on Example 2:

[0065] This invention provides a flat panel lamp, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the flat panel light includes the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0066] The flat panel lamp with the aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure not only allows the lamp to be easily snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure during assembly, making the assembly operation labor-saving and convenient, but also ensures that the snap-fit ​​structure has a small component of gravity parallel to the contact surface during use, making it less prone to loosening or detachment, and ensuring safe and reliable use.

[0067] To further demonstrate the effectiveness of the flat panel lamp of this invention, the following experiments were conducted for verification:

[0068] The light fixture was installed inside the frame, and a weight was added to increase the weight of the light fixture (2kg) to four times its own weight (8kg). This was repeated for multiple experimental groups, each for one hour. Afterward, the light fixture and frame were tested, and the specific test results are as follows:

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] Based on the aforementioned experimental results, we can conclude that:

[0072] After the five experimental groups were subjected to a load of 4 times the force of the lamp for one hour, none of the lamps showed any loosening or detachment, and none of the surface-mounted frames showed any deformation. Therefore, the flat panel lamp with the aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure of the present invention is firmly assembled and safe and reliable to use.
