At the same time, a sealing layer is formed after the white glue solidifies to seal the gap between the diffuser plate 200 and the docking ring 130, thereby improving the sealing performance between the heat dissipation shell 100 and the diffuser plate 200.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the waterproof silicone plug 600 is soft in texture and will deform when subjected to external pressure. The waterproof silicone plug 600 is provided with a through hole 610 and a U-shaped groove 620. The waterproof silicone plug 600 is arranged in the mounting groove 120. There is an interference fit between the waterproof silicone plug 600 and the mounting groove 120. The U-shaped groove 620 is buckled with the docking ring 130. The end of the power cord 500 is provided with a plug 510. The plug 510 passes through the through hole 610 and is electrically connected to the LED lamp board 400.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 and Figure 7, the face ring 300 covers the heat dissipation shell 100. There is a protrusion 310 on the face ring 300, and the protrusion 310 is embedded in the installation groove 120. The face ring 300 and the heat dissipation shell 100 are locked together by screws. After fixing the face ring 300, the protrusion 310 presses the waterproof silicone plug 600 and the plug connector 510. The protrusion 310 and the waterproof silicone plug 600 cooperate to jointly seal the installation groove 120, thereby sealing the routing position of the power cord 500 to prevent water vapor from entering the inner cavity 110 through the routing position of the power cord 500 and causing a failure of the LED lamp board 400.

[0039] The installation method of the above LED downlight 10 with a waterproof component is as follows:

[0040] First, pass the plug connector 510 through the through hole 610 and assemble the waterproof silicone plug 600 with the power cord 500;

[0041] Weld the power cord 500 to the LED lamp board 400. After electrically connecting the LED lamp board 400 and the power cord 500, place the LED lamp board 400 into the inner cavity 110, and then insert the waterproof silicone plug 600 into the installation groove 120 so that the U-shaped groove 620 is buckled with the docking ring 130;

[0042] Install the diffuser plate 200 on the docking ring 130;

[0043] Attach the glue-sealing auxiliary strip 140 to the outer wall of the docking ring 130. At this time, the glue-sealing auxiliary strip 140 and the outer wall of the diffuser plate 200 jointly enclose a glue injection groove 11, and inject white glue into the glue injection groove 11 for sealing;

[0044] Put on the face ring 300, insert the protrusion 310 on the face ring 300 into the installation groove 120, and lock the face ring 300 to the heat dissipation shell 100 with screws, and the downlight assembly is completed.

[0045] The above LED downlight 10 with a waterproof component has the following advantages:

[0046] 1. The glue-sealing auxiliary strip 140 and the outer wall of the diffuser plate 200 jointly enclose a glue injection groove 11. By filling white glue in the glue injection groove 11, while bonding the diffuser plate 200 to the heat dissipation shell 100, the gap between the two is sealed, and the connection position of the two components is sealed;

[0047] 2. The waterproof silicone plug 600 is a soft component. After it is combined with the plug connector 510 on the power cord 500 and then inserted into the installation groove 120, and when the face ring 300 is covered, the protrusion 310 squeezes the waterproof silicone plug 600, thereby sealing the outlet position of the power cord 500 to prevent water vapor from infiltrating from the routing part and affecting the normal operation of the LED lamp board 400.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 6 andFigure 7 , in one embodiment, the protrusion 310 includes a sealing piece 311, a pressing piece 312 and limiting columns 313 located on both sides of the pressing piece 312. After covering the upper surface ring 300, the pressing piece 312 presses the plug connector 510 to prevent the position of the plug connector 510 from shifting during the installation of the downlight on the ceiling. The limiting columns 313 are attached to the outer wall of the waterproof silicone plug 600, and the limiting columns 313 provide limitation to prevent the waterproof silicone plug 600 from shifting away from the inner cavity 110. Moreover, the sealing piece 311 blocks the installation groove 120, and the sealing piece 311 and the waterproof silicone plug 600 form a double protection at the installation groove 120. Preferably, reinforcing ribs 314 are provided on the outer wall of the pressing piece 312, and grooves 630 matching the reinforcing ribs 314 are provided on the waterproof silicone plug 600.
