[0033] In the related art, the driving power supplies of lamps such as cabinet lamps and ceiling downlights need to be hidden to maintain the appearance. The driving power supplies need to be installed at the back of the cabinet, in the ceiling, etc., which is troublesome to install and difficult to maintain once a failure occurs.

[0034] Reference below Figures 1 to 6 The embedded drive box according to the embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to the embedded drive box of the embodiment of the utility model, it includes: an end panel 100, a first box body 200, a second box body 300 and an elastic clip assembly, the first box body 200 is arranged on the upper end surface of the end panel 100, the first box body 200 and the end panel 100 are an integral structure, and the edge of the end panel 100 protrudes from the side wall of the first box body 200 to form an abutment portion 110; the second box body 300 is detachably connected to the first box body 200, and a cavity for placing a driving power supply is formed between the second box body 300 and the first box body 200; the elastic clip assembly includes at least two torsion springs 400 relatively distributed on both sides of the embedded drive box, the torsion spring 400 includes a first torque arm 410 and a second torque arm 420, the first torque arm 410 is installed to the end panel 100, the first box body 200 or the second box body 300 through the mounting structure, and the second torque arm 420 extends toward the outside of the first box body 200 or the second box body 300.

[0036] During installation, bend the second torque arm 420 upwards, and install the second torque arm 420 and the upper part of the embedded drive box into the pre-opened installation hole on the panel of the cabinet or ceiling. After loosening the second torque arm 420, the second torque arm 420 is pressed downward due to its own elastic force, so that the second torque arm 420 presses against the upper end surface of the panel, and the abutting part 110 presses against the lower end surface of the panel, thereby embedding and fixing the drive box on the panel of the cabinet or ceiling. The installation is very convenient. When disassembly is required, the elastic force of the torsion spring 400 is overcome and the embedded drive box is pulled out downward, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0037] During specific implementation, since the drive box is embedded and fixed on the cabinet or ceiling panel, the drive box is partially located in the pre-opened installation hole of the panel and partially extends to the upper side of the panel, so that the drive box only protrudes a small height from the upper side of the panel, which can facilitate its installation on cabinets such as wine cabinets, wardrobes, and shoe cabinets, reducing the gap between the cabinet and the installation position or reducing the thickness of the cabinet.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper or lower part referred to is only for explanation corresponding to the drawings in the specification. In actual application, the embedded drive box can be selectively embedded and installed in the upper part or side of cabinets such as wine cabinets, wardrobes, and shoe cabinets, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the end panel 100 is a flat structure to fit closely to the board, reduce the exposed part, and keep the surface of the ceiling or cabinet simple.

[0040] Specifically, the installation hole pre-opened on the ceiling or cabinet can only allow part of the drive box to pass through. Now the end panel 100 passes through, so that the abutment portion 110 of the outer edge of the end panel 100 presses against the lower end surface of the plate.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the embedded drive box further includes a decorative panel 600, which is detachably mounted on the end panel 100, so that the embedded drive box can be replaced with different decorative panels 600 to meet different decorative requirements.

[0042] Specifically, when the embedded drive box is embedded in a panel such as a ceiling or a cabinet, the end panel 100 is exposed. By configuring different decorative panels 600 as needed, the exposed part of the embedded drive box has a certain decorative effect and good aesthetics, and can be coordinated with the ceiling or cabinet to achieve different decorative effects.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the decorative panel 600 is provided with a slide groove 601 corresponding to the edge of the end panel 100 on the side, and the side of the decorative panel 600 is provided with an opening corresponding to one end of the end panel 100. The decorative panel 600 can be inserted into the end panel 100 from one end of the end panel 100 through the cooperation of the slide groove 601 and the edge of the end panel 100, thereby installing the decorative panel 600 to the end panel 100.

[0044] Specifically, the decorative panel 600 and the end panel 100 are both long panel structures. During installation, the side of the decorative panel 600 corresponds to the end of the end panel 100, and the decorative panel 600 is inserted laterally into the end panel 100. The edge of the end panel 100 slides in the slide groove 601 until the decorative panel 600 reaches the set position. The installation of the decorative panel 600 is completed. When replacement is required, the decorative panel 600 can be pulled out laterally.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, a positioning structure is provided between the decorative plate 600 and the end panel 100 to facilitate positioning of the decorative plate 600 and reduce the occurrence of accidental falling off.

[0046] Specifically, the positioning structure can be a protrusion set on the edge of the end panel 100 and a recessed position set on the wall of the slide groove 601. When the decorative panel 600 slides to the set position, the protrusion on the edge of the end panel 100 is inserted into the recessed position of the wall of the slide groove 601, thereby positioning the decorative panel 600.

[0047] Of course, in the specific implementation process, the positioning structure can also be a pin passing through the end panel 100 and the decorative panel 600, or a snap-on structure provided on the end panel 100 and the decorative panel 600, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, a damping structure is provided between the decorative plate 600 and the end panel 100 to increase the sliding resistance between the decorative plate 600 and the end panel 100, thereby preventing the decorative plate 600 from falling quickly after the positioning structure is released, thereby preventing an accident.

[0049] Specifically, the damping structure can be realized by interference fitting the slide groove 601 with the edge of the end panel 100 , or by providing a nylon or felt friction sheet between the slide groove 601 and the edge of the end panel 100 .

[0050] It is conceivable that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the decorative panel 600 can be detachably mounted on the end panel 100 by means of a snap-fit ​​structure, a magnetic structure, or the like.

[0051] In some embodiments of the utility model, a decorative light source is provided at the end panel 100, such as a side-emitting side light source assembly. After the decorative panel 600 is installed, a side-emitting effect can be formed, which plays a certain lighting role and has a good decorative effect.

[0052] In some embodiments of the utility model, a light source is arranged at the end panel 100, and the decorative panel 600 is a completely light-transmitting panel or a partially light-transmitting panel, and is provided with a set decorative pattern, brand logo, etc. After installing the decorative panel 600, turning on the light source at the end panel 100 can make the embedded drive box have a specific display effect, which can not only hide the drive box, but also meet the specific display effect.

[0053] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 are detachably connected via a snap mechanism, and the snap mechanism includes a second hook structure 510 and a hook groove 520. One of the second hook structure 510 and the hook groove 520 is arranged on the first box body 200, and the other is arranged on the second box body 300, so that the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 can be assembled via a detachable structure, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0054] Of course, in the specific implementation process, the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 can also be detachably connected through an insertion structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, when the second box body 300 is assembled with the first box body 200, the inner wall of the second box body 300 wraps the outer wall of the first box body 200, the hook groove 520 is arranged on the inner wall of the second box body 300, and the second hook structure 510 is arranged on the outer wall of the first box body 200, so that the buckle mechanism is hidden on the inner side of the drive box to improve safety.

[0056] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the second hook structure 510 and the hook groove 520 can also be interchanged. For example, the hook groove 520 is provided in the first box body 200, and the second hook structure 510 is provided in the second box body 300, which can also meet the requirements of buckle installation.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the end panel 100 is protruded upwardly and is provided with a surrounding structure, which forms a first box body 200 with the enclosed portion of the end panel 100, and the second hook structure 510 is provided on the outer side wall of the surrounding structure.

[0058] It should be noted that, in the present invention, the structural division of the first box body 200 and the second box body 300 is to illustrate the openable structure of the drive box and part of it is an integrated structure with the end panel 100. In actual application, the first box body 200 and the end panel 100 share part of the structure (forming one surface of the drive box), or the first box body 200 is a part of the end panel 100 (forming one surface of the drive box), which is not described in detail here.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, a plurality of partition plates 320 are provided inside the second box body 300, and the partition plates 320 can divide the interior of the second box body 300 into multiple functional areas, such as high-voltage areas, low-voltage areas, wiring areas, etc., to improve safety.

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the first torque arm 410 is installed to the side of the second box body 300 through a mounting structure, and the mounting structure includes an insertion slot 301 arranged on the side of the second box body 300, and the first torque arm 410 can be inserted into the insertion slot 301, and the insertion slot 301 can position the first torque arm 410, so that when the second torque arm 420 is twisted, the torsion spring 400 can generate an elastic force on it, thereby meeting the installation requirements.

[0061] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first torque arm 410 can be embedded in the first box body 200, the second box body 300 or the end panel 100, or the first torque arm 410 can be fixed to the first box body 200, the second box body 300 or the end panel 100 by screws or the like.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, a clamping structure capable of clamping and fixing the first torque arm 410 is provided in the insertion slot 301 to limit the first torque arm 410 from withdrawing from the insertion slot 301 and avoid failure of the torsion spring 400 of the elastic clamping assembly.

[0063] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the position of the torsion spring 400 can also be located by other structures of the torsion spring 400, such as providing a positioning shaft passing through the spring coil of the torsion spring 400 in the second box body 300, and cooperating with the first torque arm 410 and the insertion slot 301, so as to ensure the effectiveness of the torsion spring 400.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping structure is a first hook structure 302 arranged on the slot wall of the insertion slot 301, and the end of the first torque arm 410 is a U-shaped structure that can be buckled on the first hook structure 302, thereby restricting the first torque arm 410 in the insertion slot 301.

[0065] Specifically, a square frame structure is provided on the side of the second box body 300, and an insertion slot 301 is formed in the middle of the square frame structure. A first hook structure 302 is formed on one side of the square frame structure. The side portions of the square frame structure on both sides of the first hook structure 302 are hollow structures, so that the first hook structure 302 has a certain elasticity. The first hook structure 302 has an oblique introduction surface. When the first torque arm 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 301, when the end cross bar of the first torque arm 410 interacts with the oblique introduction surface, the end cross bar of the first torque arm 410 pushes the first hook structure 302 to elastically deform, so that the first torque arm 410 can continue to slide upward until the end cross bar of the first torque arm 410 completely passes through the first hook structure 302. At this time, the first hook structure 302 elastically resets and is stuck at the end cross bar of the first torque arm 410, restricting the first torque arm 410 from exiting the insertion slot 301.

[0066] Of course, in the specific implementation process, a screw may be screwed into the insertion slot 301 to be clamped at the U-shaped structure at the end of the first hook structure 302 , and the first torque arm 410 may be positioned in the insertion slot 301 .

[0067] As shown Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the side of the second box body 300 is provided with reinforcing ribs 310, and the reinforcing ribs 310 are distributed on both sides of the insertion slot 301, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the elastic clamping assembly and improve reliability.

[0068] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first box body 200 and the end panel 100 are an integrated structure, which can make the first box body 200 have better structural strength, and make the box body of the drive box (the assembly structure of the first box body 200 and the second box body 300) have higher structural strength. In this embodiment, the torsion spring 400 is arranged on the second box body 300. By utilizing the above-mentioned integrated structure, the elastic clip assembly has better structural reliability. Compared with setting the torsion spring 400 on the end panel 100, the stability of use is higher.

[0069] In addition, the torsion spring 400 is arranged on the second box body 300. The torsion spring 400 is located at a higher position of the drive box and is far away from the installed plate, which lengthens the length of the second torque arm 420 and increases the torque, making the installation of the embedded drive box more convenient.

[0070] Of course, the invention of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation modes. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
