For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] During the process of mass assembly, due to the structural settings of downlights in the prior art, their assembly efficiency is relatively low. An embodiment of this application provides an embedded lamp, including a face ring 100, a lamp body 200, and two spring clips 300. Among them:

[0041] See Figures 1 to 4 , the face ring 100 includes a cylindrical portion 110 that extends into the installation hole during installation, and a decorative portion 120 that surrounds the cylindrical portion 110 and abuts against the front of the support during installation. Two slots 111 are symmetrically arranged on the cylindrical portion 110. The installation hole can be opened, for example, in the ceiling of a building. The front of the support is, for example, the side of the ceiling that is open to the outside and observed by the user; the back of the support is the surface of the support hidden inside the ceiling.

[0042] The lamp body 200 includes a lamp housing 210 and a light-emitting component disposed inside the lamp housing 210. The lamp body 200 is placed in the space defined by the cylindrical portion 110 and is fixedly connected to the face ring 100 through a fastener 230. The cylindrical portion 110 has a through hole 112 for the fastener 230 to pass through, and the through hole 112 is located in the axial space defined by the slot 111. The outer periphery of the lamp body 200 has a radially protruding positioning projection 201, and the positioning projection 201 is provided with a through hole for the fastener 230 to pass through. The inner wall of the cylindrical portion 110 is provided with a positioning groove 113 that cooperates with the positioning projection 201. The positioning groove 113 is formed by a rib 114 provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical portion 110.

[0043] The spring buckle 300 includes a connecting portion 310 that is inserted and fitted with the slot 111, an abutting portion 320 that abuts against the back surface of the support during installation, and an elastic portion 330 that is interposed between the connecting portion 310 and the abutting portion 320. The spring portion can be, for example, a torsion spring.

[0044] The structural main body and each part of the recessed lamp in this embodiment have axial, radial, and circumferential directions in space. The two slots 111 of the cylindrical portion 110 are symmetric in the radial direction. The through hole 112 is for the fastener 230 to pass through, and the two slots 111 are respectively for the two spring buckles 300 to be inserted. Both the through hole 112 and the slot 111 occupy a certain radial dimension. Therefore, when the size of the installation hole is limited, the through hole 112 and the slot 111 affect the radial thickness of the cylindrical portion 110, and further affect the light-emitting area of the light-emitting component 220. And in this embodiment, since the slot 111 and the through hole 112 are in the same axial space region of the cylindrical portion 110, the influence of the through hole 112 and the slot 111 on the thickness of the side wall of the cylindrical portion 110 is concentrated at the same place. When the hole pitch of the installation hole is limited, this embodiment can effectively ensure the diameter dimension of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting component 220 in the lamp body 200, making the overall more coordinated, effectively saving space, and ensuring the middle light-emitting area. The connecting portion of the spring buckle can be directly inserted and fitted into the slot, improving the convenience of assembly.

[0045] Further, the slot 111 is farther from the decorative portion 120 than the through hole 112, so that during installation, the lamp body 200 can be installed first, and then the spring buckle 300 can be installed. The installation steps of the recessed lamp in this embodiment include: (1) assembling the lamp body 200; (2) installing the lamp body 200 through the fastener 230 into the through hole 112 of the cylindrical portion 110 of the face ring 100; (3) inserting the connecting portion 310 of the spring buckle 300 into the slot 111 of the cylindrical portion 110 of the face ring 100. The above installation steps can split the pipeline processing, saving time, labor, and materials, and are beneficial to quality inspection, improving the assembly efficiency. For small-sized downlights, for example, when the size of the installation hole (the radial size of the cylindrical portion 110) is less than or equal to 2 inches, the technical effect of the recessed lamp in this embodiment is particularly prominent.

[0046] A retaining block 115 for restricting the connection part 310 from disengaging from the slot 111 is arranged in the slot 111. Further, the rib 114 forming the positioning slot 113 cooperates with the retaining block 115 to restrict the movement of the connection part 310.

[0047] See Figures 5 to 7 , the lamp housing 210 of the lamp body 200 includes a lamp cup 211 for fixedly connecting with the cylindrical part 110, a light-transmitting plate 212 arranged at the front part of the lamp cup 211, and a radiator 215 connected to the rear part of the lamp cup 211. A reflecting cup 213 is arranged in the lamp housing 210 between the light-emitting component 220 and the light-transmitting plate 212. An isolating member 214 is arranged between the reflecting cup 213 and the light-emitting component 220.

[0048] The light-emitting component 220 is abutted against the radiator 215 by the isolating member 214. Guide ribs 216 are arranged inside the radiator 215, and guide grooves 217 matched with the guide ribs 216 are formed on the side wall of the isolating member 214. The isolating member 214 has a reduced diameter 218 adapted to the shape of the rear part of the reflecting cup 213. During installation, the light-transmitting plate 212, the reflecting cup 213, the isolating member 214, and the light-emitting component 220 (such as a light-emitting substrate) are sequentially placed into the lamp cup 211, and the radiator 215 is connected and installed to the lamp cup 211, for example, by fastening bolts, to complete the installation of the lamp body 200.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification. When the technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be regarded that the drawing also discloses the combination examples of the respective embodiments involved.

[0050] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
