[0023] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless otherwise stated, the terms "said" and "the" used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "including" used in the specification of this application refers to the presence of the described features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the implementation of other features, information, data, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof supported by the technical field. The term "and / or" used herein refers to at least one of the items defined by the term, for example, "A and / or B" can be implemented as "A", or as "B", or as "A and B".

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] refer to Figures 1-3 The mounting connection seat of the present application includes a U-shaped seat 1 and a round seat 2 that can be assembled inside the U-shaped seat 1, wherein the U-shaped seat 1 is divided into an appearance surface and an assembly surface. The assembly surface is used to fit with the lamp to achieve connection. After the U-shaped seat 1 is connected to the lamp, the assembly surface is invisible. Correspondingly, the visible part is the appearance surface. After the lamp is assembled to the designated position, the appearance surface may also be blocked and become "invisible".

[0027] The U-shaped seat 1 includes a pair of mirror-symmetrical straight arm portions 11 and a curved arm portion 12 connected to the same side of the straight arm portions 11. The two straight arm portions 11 and the curved arm portion 12 together form a semi-enclosed "U"-shaped structure. Preferably, the cross-sectional dimensions of the straight arm portions 11 and the curved arm portions 12 are similar, so that the structural continuity of the U-shaped seat 1 is better and it is convenient to achieve one-piece molding production. Furthermore, the straight arm portions 11 and the curved arm portions 12 each extend a limiting wall 13 on the appearance surface toward the center position of the mounting connection seat, thereby forming an assembly space of the U-shaped seat 1 including two layers of channels: a first channel 14 is defined by the inner side walls 111 of the pair of straight arm portions, and the inner side walls 121 of the curved arm portions form the end of the first channel 14; a second channel 15 is defined by the limiting wall 13 and is located on the appearance surface side of the first channel 14.

[0028] The size and structure of the first channel 14 and the second channel 15 are adapted to the circular seat 2, so that the U-shaped seat 1 and the circular seat 2 can be smoothly assembled. In this embodiment, the circular seat 2 includes a circular embedded portion 21 that can be assembled into the assembly space formed by the straight arm portion 11 and the curved arm portion 12, and an extended portion 22 that extends beyond the exterior surface.

[0029] The circular embedded portion 21 has a certain thickness to provide sufficient rigidity. The circular edge structure of the embedded portion 21 facilitates installation and assembly with the U-shaped seat 1. Specifically, the circular embedded portion 21 can be installed regardless of direction and can more smoothly slide from the opening of the U-shaped seat 1 into the assembly space to achieve fixation with the U-shaped seat 1. The dimensions of the embedded portion 21 are compatible with the first channel 14. Optionally, the width of the first channel 14 is not less than the diameter of the embedded portion 21, the depth of the first channel 14 is greater than the diameter of the embedded portion 21, the height of the first channel 14 is not less than the thickness of the embedded portion 21, and the curvature of the inner sidewall 121 of the curved arm portion is not less than the curvature of the edge of the embedded portion 21. Considering the smoothness of assembly and the stability after assembly, the width of the first channel 14 can preferably be slightly larger than the diameter of the embedded portion 21 to prevent excessive sliding friction during the insertion of the embedded portion 21. The depth of the first channel 14 can be approximately twice the diameter of the embedded portion 21 to prevent the embedded portion 21 from sliding out of the first channel 14. The height of the first channel 14 is slightly larger than the thickness of the embedded portion 21. This not only prevents excessive sliding friction during the insertion of the embedded portion 21, but also allows a small amount of space to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of the embedded portion 21. The curvature of the inner sidewall 121 of the curved arm portion is not less than, but close to, the curvature of the edge of the embedded portion 21. This not only facilitates the alignment of the curved arm portion 12 with the embedded portion 21 to achieve pressure distribution when the curved arm portion 12 is used as a force-bearing part, but also facilitates the adaptation of the straight arm portion 11 to form a relatively smooth first channel 14. Furthermore, the outlet of the first channel 14 is enlarged to form a first opening 141. The first opening 141 facilitates the sliding of the embedded portion 21 into the first channel 14, and the first opening 141 smoothly transitions into the first channel 14.

[0030] The extension portion 22 is adapted to fit the embedded portion 21, and is preferably coaxially arranged with the embedded portion 21 and positioned at the center of the embedded portion 21 to achieve force balance on the circular seat 2. The integral molding of the extension portion 22 and the embedded portion 21 facilitates improving the structural stability of the circular seat 2. The extension portion 22 is used to connect with other assembly structures to secure an item (e.g., a lamp) secured by the mounting and connecting seat of the present application. In this embodiment, the extension portion 22 is configured as a cylinder with a cross-sectional diameter smaller than that of the embedded portion 21, and is provided with connecting structures on the end face and / or sidewall of the cylinder. These connecting structures may be threaded holes, pin holes, external threads, snap-fit structures, etc. In other embodiments, the extension portion 22 may be configured as other shapes to facilitate securing the circular seat 2. Furthermore, the extension portion 22 has a certain thickness (height), and the size of the extension portion 22 is adapted to the second channel 15. Optionally, the width of the second channel 15 is not less than the maximum width of the extension portion 22, the height of the second channel 15 is less than the thickness of the extension portion 22, and the depth of the second channel 15 is greater than the cross-sectional size of the extension portion 22. Furthermore, in order to optimize the assembly structure with the U-shaped seat 1, preferably, the width of the second channel 15 is greater than the maximum width of the extension part 22, so as to avoid excessive sliding friction when the extension part 22 slides in with the embedded part 21, and the width difference between the second channel 15 and the first channel 14 is preferably based on the diameter difference between the extension part 22 and the embedded part 21, so as to prevent the circular seat 2 from sliding into the U-shaped seat 1 as much as possible without large lateral movement; the height of the second channel 15 is approximately less than half of the thickness of the extension part 22, and the height of the second channel 15 is the thickness of the limiting wall 13. The thickness of the limiting wall 13 extended from the U-shaped seat 1 should be thick enough but not too thick. A limiting wall 13 of sufficient thickness can provide sufficient hardness to meet the force requirements of the installation connecting seat. An overly thick limiting wall 13 will occupy the allocation of the assembly space of the U-shaped seat 1, so that the height of the first channel 14 is relatively reduced, which is not conducive to the overall force of the installation connecting seat. Furthermore, the outlet of the second channel 15 is expanded to form a second opening 151, which facilitates guiding the extension portion 22 to slide into the second channel 15. The second opening 151 and the second channel 15 have a smooth transition, and the width of the second opening 151 is smaller than the first opening 141. The difference in width between the second opening 151 and the first opening 141 can be based on the width of the step formed between the extension portion 22 and the embedded portion 21, thereby improving the smoothness of the circular seat 2 sliding into the U-shaped seat 1.

[0031] The U-shaped seat 1 also includes a self-locking member 113, specifically the self-locking member 113 assembled in the straight arm portion 11. The self-locking member 113 is used to abut against the embedded portion 21 assembled in the U-shaped seat 1 to prevent the embedded portion 21 from sliding out of the U-shaped seat 1. The self-locking member 113 includes a top block 1131 and a buffer member 1132 connected between the top block 1131 and the straight arm portion 11. Preferably, the straight arm portion 11 is configured with an inner wall and an outer wall, and an assembly space is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall for installing the self-locking member 113. Furthermore, the inner wall 111 of the straight arm portion is provided with a third opening 114 for assembling the self-locking member 113. The top block 1131 of the self-locking member 113 partially extends out of the third opening 114 to abut against the edge of the assembled embedded portion 21. The buffer member 1132 connects the top block 1131 and the inner side of the outer wall 112 of the straight arm portion. The buffer 1132 maintains a moderately compressed state and keeps pushing the top block 1131, so that the top block 1131 remains in a state of extending out of the third opening 114. When the top block 1131 is pushed inward into the third opening 114 by sufficient external force, the obstruction of the top block 1131 on the first channel 14 disappears. When the external force applied to the top block 1131 is withdrawn, the buffer 1132 prompts the top block 1131 to return to its original position.

[0032] Optionally, the top block 1131 includes a front top 11311, a side top 11312, and a rear top 11313. The front top 11311 is a portion extending out of the third opening 114, and includes a first curved surface 11311a close to the curved arm portion 12, a second curved surface 11311b away from the curved arm portion 12, and a top 11311c connecting the first curved surface 11311a and the second curved surface 11311b; the first curved surface 11311a smoothly transitions with the inner side wall 121 of the curved arm portion, so that the first curved surface 11311a and the inner side wall 121 of the curved arm portion can fit the edge of the embedded portion 21 as much as possible; the curvature of the second curved surface 11311b should also be adapted to the edge of the embedded portion 21, so that the embedded portion 21 can slide smoothly into the inner side wall 121 of the curved arm portion, thereby The curvature of the curved surface 11311a and the second curved surface 11311b should be adapted to the edge curvature of the embedded portion 21. To simplify the structural design, the curvature of the first curved surface 11311a and the second curved surface 11311b can be the same. The top 11311c abuts the edge of the embedded portion 21, and the two tops 11311c of the two straight arm portions 11 and the curved arm portion 12 surround the embedded portion 21 to a range exceeding half of the circumference of the embedded portion 21. That is, the two tops 11311c divide the circumference of the embedded portion 21 into a major arc and a minor arc, with the minor arc facing outward. As a result, the top 11311c can abut most of the embedded portion 21 against the interior of the U-shaped seat 1, achieving a self-locking effect. The side top 11312 extends outward along both sides of the front top 11311, forming a limit structure that is reversed on the inner side wall of the third opening 114 to prevent the top block 1131 from slipping out of the straight arm portion 11. The rear top 11313 provides a joint connected to the buffer 1132. In this embodiment, the buffer 1132 is made of a spring, and the rear top 11313 is a positioning column for accommodating the end of the spring. Correspondingly, a positioning column for fixing the spring is also provided on the inner side of the outer wall 112 of the straight arm portion.

[0033] The U-shaped base 1 is provided with a through-hole 16 for securing the U-shaped base 1 to the mounted lamp. Optionally, the mounting hole 16 is provided at the end of the straight arm portion 11 near the first opening 141 or the second opening 151, and is also provided at the curved arm portion 12. Furthermore, the assembly surface of the U-shaped base 1 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes, which not only contribute to the lightweighting of the U-shaped base 1, but also facilitate heat dissipation at the U-shaped base 1.

When multiple U-shaped bases 1 are used for installation, the openings of all U-shaped bases 1 are all downward and parallel to each other. The assembly method is to align the U-shaped base 1 with the circular base 2 one by one, then pull down the ceiling lamp, so that the circular base 2 slides into the U-shaped base 1 to be fixed.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 The mounting connection seat of the present application is used to install a chandelier, and the chandelier is fixed to the ceiling via a hanger 4. One possible implementation method is that the mounting connection seat of the present application is pre-connected as a whole to the back of the chandelier, that is, the U-shaped seat 1 is pre-connected to the back of the chandelier, and the circular seat 2 is pre-assembled with the U-shaped seat 1; the hanger 4 is pre-fixed to the ceiling, and the hanger 4 and the extension 22 of the circular seat 2 are connected via a sleeve 5, and the sleeve 5 is connected to the hanger 4 and the extension 22 in a threaded manner. The assembly method is to align the hanger 4, the sleeve 5 and the mounting connection seat one by one, and then tighten the sleeves 5 one by one, so that the hanger 4 and the mounting connection seat are connected as a whole, thereby fixing the chandelier.
