[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , is a downlight according to an embodiment of the present utility model, comprising a housing 100 , a light emitting module 200 and a pair of elastic mounting clips 300 . The outer shell 100 is provided with a first accommodating hole 110; the light-emitting module 200 includes an inner shell 210, a light-transmitting plate 220 and a light-emitting body 230, the inner shell 210 is provided with a second accommodating hole 211, the light-emitting body 230 is located in the second accommodating hole 211, the light-transmitting plate 220 is fixedly arranged on the inner shell 210 and covers the opening of the second accommodating hole 211, the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting body 230 is toward the light-transmitting plate 220, the inner shell 210 is inserted into the first accommodating hole 110, and the inner shell 210 is snap-fitted with the outer shell 100; a pair of elastic mounting clips 300 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the outer shell 100, the elastic mounting clips 300 are provided with an insertion portion 310 and a mounting portion 320, the insertion portion 310 is penetrated through the outer shell 100 and connected to the inner shell 210, the mounting portion 320 is located on the outer side of the outer shell 100, and the elastic mounting clips 300 can limit the position of the inner shell 210 relative to the outer shell 100.

[0032] On the basis of the clamping connection between the inner shell 210 and the outer shell 100, the insertion portion 310 of the elastic mounting clip 300 passes through the outer shell 100 and is connected to the inner shell 210, and the mounting portion 320 of the elastic mounting clip 300 is located on the outside of the outer shell 100. The elastic mounting clip 300 can not only install the downlight on the ceiling, but also limit the position of the inner shell 210 relative to the outer shell 100, thereby further fixing the inner shell 210 and the outer shell 100, reducing the risk of the light-emitting module 200 falling relative to the outer shell 100, and no additional parts are required.

[0033] In the embodiment, the inner shell 210 is provided with a plug hole 212, the hole wall of the plug hole 212 is provided with a first hook 213, the insertion portion 310 is provided with a first hook hole 311, the insertion portion 310 is inserted in the plug hole 212, and the first hook 213 is engaged with the first hook hole 311. The insertion portion 310 is inserted in the plug hole 212, and the insertion portion 310 is engaged with the first hook 213 through the first hook hole 311, so that the assembly connection between the insertion portion 310 of the elastic mounting clip 300 and the inner shell 210 is relatively firm, and the insertion portion 310 of the elastic mounting clip 300 is not easy to fall off relative to the inner shell 210, and then the assembly of the inner shell 210 and the outer shell 100 is more firm and not easy to fall off through the elastic mounting clip 300.

[0034] It should be understood that when the downlight is not installed on the ceiling, the first clamp hole 311 and the first clamp hook 213 may have a certain assembly gap or may be tightly fitted. When the downlight is installed on the ceiling, the mounting portion 320 of the elastic mounting clip 300 is fixed to the ceiling, and the housing 100 and the light-emitting module 200 will have a tendency to fall relative to the elastic mounting clip 300 under the action of gravity. At this time, the insertion portion 310 applies an upward supporting force to the first clamp hook 213 through the first clamp hole 311, that is, the elastic mounting clip 300 directly applies a supporting force to the inner housing 210, and the inner housing applies a supporting force to the outer housing 100, so that the inner housing 210 will not fall off relative to the outer housing 100.

[0035] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the first hook 213 may be provided on the insertion portion 310 , and the first hook hole 311 may be provided on the hole wall of the plug hole 212 . Those skilled in the art may make specific selections according to actual needs.

[0036] In the embodiment, the bottom wall 2121 of the plug hole 212 is tilted and used to guide the first clamping hole 311 to be clamped to the first clamping hook 213. Since the bottom wall 2121 of the plug hole 212 is tilted, when the insertion portion 310 is inserted into the plug hole 212, when the end of the insertion portion 310 contacts the bottom wall 2121 of the plug hole 212, the bottom wall 2121 of the plug hole 212 will guide the insertion portion 310 to slide a little, further increasing the clamping range between the first clamping hook 213 and the first clamping hole 311, and reducing the risk of the first clamping hook 213 and the first clamping hole 311 not being properly clamped.

[0037] In the embodiment, the outer wall of the inner shell 210 is provided with a clearance hole 214, and the clearance hole 214 is connected to the plug hole 212. The clearance hole 214 is provided to facilitate the production of the first hook 213 in the plug hole 212 by mold forming, thereby reducing the difficulty of producing the first hook 213 and improving the processability of the inner shell 210.

[0038] Specifically, after the outer shell 100 and the light emitting module 200 are assembled, the outer shell 100 covers the clearance hole 214 of the inner shell 210 .

[0039] In the embodiment, a guiding slope 2131 is provided on one side of the first hook 213 near the opening of the plug hole 212. The guiding slope 2131 is provided, and when the insertion portion 310 of the elastic mounting clip 300 is inserted into the plug hole 212, the guiding slope 2131 can guide the insertion portion 310 to slide and adjust the position, so that the insertion portion 310 can be smoothly inserted into the specified depth of the plug hole 212, so that the insertion portion 310 of the elastic mounting clip 300 can be inserted into the plug hole 212 more smoothly.

[0040] In the embodiment, the elastic mounting clip 300 further includes a spiral elastic portion 330, the insertion portion 310 and the mounting portion 320 are respectively connected to the spiral elastic portion 330, and the spiral elastic portion 330 is located outside the housing 100. The insertion portion 310 and the mounting portion 320 are respectively connected to the spiral elastic portion 330, and the spiral elastic arm provides elastic force between the insertion portion 310 and the mounting portion 320, so that the downlight can be easily installed on the ceiling through the elastic mounting clip 300.

[0041] Specifically, the inserting portion 310 , the spiral elastic portion 330 and the mounting portion 320 of the elastic mounting clip 300 are an integrally formed structure.

[0042] In the embodiment, the housing 100 is provided with a recess 120, the spiral elastic part 330 is located in the recess 120, the groove wall of the recess 120 is provided with a mounting through hole 130, the insertion part 310 is passed through the mounting through hole 130, and the size of the spiral elastic part 330 is larger than the size of the mounting through hole 130. The spiral elastic part 330 is located in the recess 120, which can make the structure of the downlight more compact; the insertion part 310 is passed through the housing 100 and connected to the inner housing 210 through the mounting through hole 130, and the size of the spiral elastic part 330 is larger than the size of the mounting through hole 130, so that the spiral elastic part 330 will not be completely embedded in the mounting through hole 130, which is conducive to keeping the spiral elastic part 330 and the mounting part 320 of the elastic mounting clip 300 located outside the housing 100.

[0043] It is conceivable that the insertion part 310 can also be connected to the inner shell 210 through other structures to limit the position of the inner shell 210 relative to the outer shell 100. For example, the insertion part 310 and the inner shell 210 are riveted or bonded, etc., and technicians in this field can make specific choices based on actual needs.

Specifically, the second hook hole 140 passes through the outer wall of the outer shell 100 and the groove wall of the accommodating groove.

[0045] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, a second hook 215 may be provided on the outer shell 100 , and a second hook hole 140 may be provided on the inner shell 210 .

[0046] In the embodiment, the light-emitting body 230 is a light source panel, and the inner shell 210 is provided with a plug-in slot 216 and a snap-in slot 217, the plug-in slot 216 and the snap-in slot 217 are located in the second accommodating hole 211, one end of the light-emitting body 230 is plugged into the plug-in slot 216, and the other end of the light-emitting body 230 is snap-in into the snap-in slot 217.

[0047] One end of the luminous body 230 is plugged into the inner shell 210, and the other end is snap-fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove 217, so that the luminous body 230 is installed in the second receiving hole 211 of the inner shell 210. The installation structure is relatively simple and easy to implement. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the luminous body 230 can also be fixed to the inner shell 210 by gluing, or the luminous body 230 can be fixed to the inner shell 210 by locking with a threaded fastener, or the luminous body 230 can be fixed to the inner shell 210 by riveting. Those skilled in the art can make specific choices according to actual needs.

[0048] Specifically, the light source board is provided with an LED lamp core. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the light emitting body 230 may also be other types of light emitting devices, and those skilled in the art may make a specific selection according to actual needs.

[0049] Specifically, it also includes a wire, which passes through the outer shell 100 and the inner shell 210 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting body 230. The wire can be connected to an external power source to supply power to the downlight.
