[0033] Please refer to Figure 4, the buckle 12 is in the shape of a flat plate. Specifically, the lamp housing 11 extends obliquely along the first direction from the surface adjacent to the terminal 14 to form the buckle 12. Optionally, the buckle 12 is arranged at an angle of 10-20° with the first direction. Preferably, the buckle 12 is arranged at an angle of approximately 15° with the first direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is the direction perpendicular to the mounting member 2. Further, the buckles 12 are arranged at intervals from the surface away from the lamp housing 11 and respectively protrude to form a first hook 121 and a second hook 122. Optionally, one end of the buckle 12 close to the lamp housing 11 is arc-shaped. Through the arc-shaped structure, the buckle 12 is relatively easy to bend, which is beneficial for the first hook 121 to pass through the mounting groove 21. When the lamp 1 of the present utility model is mounted to the mounting member 2, the first hook 121 passes through the mounting groove 21 and is clamped with the mounting member 2. At this time, the first hook 121 and the second hook 122 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting member 2, and are used to limit the relative position of the lamp housing 11 and the mounting member 2 along the first direction; by pressing the two second hooks 122, the two first hooks 121 are driven to move towards the direction close to the lamp housing 11, and the first hook 121 can pass through the mounting groove 21. At this time, the lamp housing 11 can be removed, which is convenient for use.

In an example, the lamp housing 11 protrudes outward from its side surface to form the limiting portion 13, and the mounting member 2 is recessed from a part around the mounting groove 21 to form the limiting groove 22. The limiting portion 13 cooperates with the limiting groove 22 to limit the relative position of the lamp housing 11 and the mounting member 2 along the second direction. Optionally, the limiting portion 13 is a columnar shape with a square, rectangular, trapezoidal or arc-shaped cross-section, and its axial direction is parallel to the first direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is the width direction of the limiting portion 13.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 5, in some embodiments, a card slot 23 for the wire harness 3 to pass through is formed on the mounting member 2. Specifically, the mounting member 2 is recessed from a part around the mounting groove 21 to form a non-closed card slot 23, and the card slot 23 communicates with the mounting groove 21. For example, the card slot 23 has an open shape such as an arc shape or a trapezoid shape. Further, a plurality of clamping strips 231 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the card slot 23 and are distributed at intervals and arranged along its axial direction. A part of the wire harness 3 is embedded in the card slot 23 and abuts against the clamping strips 231. The clamping strips 231 can reduce the contact area between the wire harness 3 and the card slot 23, so that the clamping force is more concentrated, and the wire harness 3 can be more firmly clamped to the mounting member 2. Optionally, the clamping strips 231 are protruded from the inner surface of the card slot 23, or the clamping strips 231 are fixedly connected to the surface of the card slot 23 by means of bonding. When the above-mentioned lamp 1 is in the second state, a part of the wire harness 3 is detachably fixed to the mounting member 2 by clamping, which can prevent the wire harness 3 from being retracted by the reel 5 and further facilitates use.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the reel 5 includes a mounting portion 52, a turntable 53 and a torsion spring 51.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the mounting portion 52 and the turntable 53 respectively protrude from the surface close to the torsion spring 51 along the axial direction of the torsion spring 51 to form a mounting shaft 521 and a connecting portion 531. The mounting shaft 521 is arranged in the middle area of the mounting portion 52, the connecting portion 531 is arranged at the edge of the turntable 53, the first end 511 of the torsion spring 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 521, and the second end 512 of the torsion spring 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 531. Optionally, the mounting portion 52 is recessed from the surface close to the turntable 53 along the axial direction of the turntable 53 to form a rotating groove 522, and at least a part of the turntable 53 is embedded in the rotating groove 522. Specifically, a mounting hole 533 is formed in the middle of the turntable 53, and the mounting shaft 521 passes through the mounting hole 533, thereby improving stability. In addition, a through accommodating hole 523 is axially formed in the mounting shaft 521, the mounting portion 52 is recessed from the surface away from the turntable 53 to form an accommodating groove 524, and the accommodating hole 523 communicates with the accommodating groove 524. One end of the wire harness 3 sequentially passes through the accommodating hole 523 and the accommodating groove 524 and is connected to the plug-in connector 4.

[0038] The wire reel 5 further includes a clamping portion 532 fixedly connected to the connecting portion 531, and a part of the wire harness 3 is fixed to the connecting portion 531 through the clamping portion 532. In one example, the connecting portion 531 is recessed from its surface to form a groove, and the clamping portion 532 is formed by protruding and spaced apart from two opposite surfaces of the groove. Alternatively, the clamping portion 532 is clamped between the wire harness 3 and the groove, and a part of the wire harness 3 is fixed to the groove through the clamping portion 532. In another example, the clamping portion 532 is a structure such as a cable tie or a buckle, and a part of the wire harness 3 passes through the clamping portion 532 and is fixed to the connecting portion 531 through the clamping portion 532. For example, the clamping portion 532 is a cable tie made of plastic or metal, and the connecting portion 531 is provided with a through hole, and the clamping portion 532 passes through the through hole to fix the wire harness 3 to the connecting portion 531.

[0039] When the lamp 1 of the present utility model is in use, the lamp 1 is removed from the mounting member 2, the lamp housing 11 is stretched, driving the movement of the wire harness 3 fixedly connected to the lamp housing 11, so as to drive the axial rotation of the connecting portion 531 relative to the mounting shaft 521 through the clamping portion 532 fixedly connected to a part of the wire harness 3, driving the second end 512 of the torsion spring 51 to rotate relative to the first end 511 of the torsion spring 51 to store elastic potential energy. At this time, the lamp 1 is in the second state, and the lamp housing 11 can be moved to the position required for illumination; when the lamp 1 returns to the first state, the elastic force of the torsion spring 51 drives a part of the wire harness 3 fixedly connected to the clamping portion 532 to rotate axially relative to the mounting shaft 521, so as to retract and wind another part of the wire harness 3 to the outside of the mounting shaft 521 to realize the storage of the wire harness 3. At this time, the lamp 1 can be clamped to the mounting member 2.

[0040] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
