[0002] Currently, lamps are categorized by installation method as ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and boom-mounted. Ceiling-mount lamps are the preferred choice for many users due to their high installation height and wide illumination range. However, since ceiling-mounted lamps must be installed at high altitudes with limited operating space, the traditional screw-mounting method is difficult to accurately align, resulting in a cumbersome and time-consuming process. Furthermore, the use of overhead wiring for the lamp's electrical connections increases installation complexity.

[0003] Existing ceiling-mounted lamps use a combination of a tongue and a slot to achieve installation and fixation of the lamps, and use a combination of a wiring terminal and a conductive sheet to achieve circuit connectivity of the lamps.

[0040] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0041] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 7The mounting structure provided in this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 1, a mounting frame 2, and a terminal assembly 3. The mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling or suspended ceiling, and the mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the lamp. The mounting bracket 1 and mounting frame 2 are detachably connected, allowing for installation and fixation of the lamp. The terminal assembly 3 is used to provide electrical connectivity to the lamp.

[0044] In this embodiment, the main body of the mounting frame 1 is a planar bracket with a hollow center. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a first connecting member 11, which is formed by extending from the edge of the main body of the mounting frame 1 toward the outer periphery of the main body of the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 2 is provided with a first connecting groove 21 and an elastic limiter 22. The first connecting groove 21 is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 2. The first connecting groove 21 includes a pre-clamping portion 211 provided along the X direction and a clamping portion 212 provided along the Y direction. The pre-clamping portion 211 and the clamping portion 212 are connected. The elastic limiter 22 is provided at the junction of the pre-clamping portion 211 and the clamping portion 212. The first connecting member 11 is clamped into the clamping portion 212 via the pre-clamping portion 211 and the elastic limiter 22.

[0045] It can be understood that during installation, the first connecting member 11 first enters the pre-clamping portion 211 along the X direction, then passes over the elastic limiting member 22 and enters the clamping portion 212 and is clamped in the clamping portion 212. When the first connecting member 11 passes through the elastic limiting member 22, the elastic limiting member 22 is deformed due to the squeezing force of the first connecting member 11, making way for the first connecting member 11, so that the first connecting member 11 can smoothly enter the clamping portion 212. After the first connecting member 11 enters the clamping portion 212, the elastic limiting member 22 naturally rebounds because it is no longer subjected to external pressure, and covers the junction between the pre-clamping portion 211 and the clamping portion 212, so that the first connecting member 11 is restricted in the clamping portion 212 and will not easily fall out of the first connecting groove 21, and the connection is stable. When the installation structure needs to be disassembled, the user only needs to push the installation frame 2 along the Y direction, so that the first connecting member 11 passes over the elastic limit member 22 from the clamping portion 212 again to reach the pre-clamping portion 211, and then disengages from the pre-clamping portion 211 to complete the disassembly. The installation and disassembly processes are simple, convenient and efficient.

[0046] In this embodiment, the elastic limiter 22 is a U-shaped spring clip, one end of which is fixedly connected to the pre-clamping portion 211, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the clamping portion 212. The protrusion of the U-shaped spring clip is located at the junction of the pre-clamping portion 211 and the clamping portion 212.

[0047] The terminal assembly 3 includes a first terminal connector 31 and a second terminal connector 32 that are pluggably connected. The first terminal connector 31 is provided on the mounting bracket 1, and the second terminal connector 32 is provided on the mounting frame 2. The pluggable connection of the first terminal connector 31 and the second terminal connector 32 enables circuit connectivity of the lamp, resulting in a simple structure and further improving the convenience of lamp installation.

[0048] As a further optimization, the first connecting member 11 is formed by extending the edge of the mounting frame 1 in the Z direction, and the elastic limiting member 22 is elastically movable in the Z direction. Thus, the elastic limiting member 22 can better limit the displacement of the first connecting member 11 by limiting the position in the Z direction. In addition, the opening direction of the pre-clamping portion 211 and the setting direction of the clamping portion 212 are perpendicular to each other, which can further play a limiting role, effectively preventing the first connecting member 11 from falling out of the first connecting groove 21, thereby improving the connection stability of the mounting structure.

[0049] In some embodiments, the portion of the first connector 11 located within the engaging portion 212 is the connecting portion 111. The width of the connecting portion 111 is D1, and the maximum deformation distance of the elastic stopper 22 is D2, where D1 < D2. This ensures that the first connector 11 can smoothly pass over the elastic stopper 22 and enter the engaging portion 212, making the installation process smoother, improving installation efficiency, and reducing installation difficulty.

[0050] As a further optimization, the first connecting member 11 is disposed on one side of the mounting frame 1. A second connecting member 12 is disposed on the mounting frame 1 on the side opposite the first connecting member 11. The second connecting member 12 extends from the edge of the mounting frame 1 in a direction away from the first connecting member 11. A second connecting groove 23 for engaging the second connecting member 12 is correspondingly disposed on the inner side of the mounting frame 2. The opening of the second connecting groove 23 faces the Z direction. During installation, the second connecting member 12 is first inserted into the second connecting groove 23 in the opposite direction of the Z direction and engaged therein. The first connecting member 11 is then engaged with the engaging portion 212 via the pre-engaging portion 211 and the elastic stopper 22, completing the installation of the lamp. Because the pre-engaging portion 211 of the first connecting groove 21 and the opening of the second connecting groove 23 are oriented in different directions, they can further limit the first and second connecting members 11 and 12 at the same time, making the connection between the mounting frame 1 and the mounting frame 2 more stable and secure, thereby improving the stability of the mounting structure.

[0051] The installation structure of this embodiment realizes the installation and fixation of the lamp through the cooperation of the first connecting member and the first connecting groove, and realizes the circuit connectivity of the lamp through the terminal assembly. The installation structure is simple, the installation process is convenient and efficient, and the connection is stable. By setting the relationship between the size of the first connecting member and the deformation range of the elastic limit member, it can be ensured that the first connecting member can smoothly pass over the elastic limit member and enter the clamping part, making the installation process smoother and improving the installation efficiency. The cooperation of the second connecting member and the second connecting groove can further improve the connection stability of the installation structure, and the installation structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] As a further optimization of Example 1, refer to Figures 8 and 9 The first terminal connector 31 is a female connector, comprising a female housing 311 and a female terminal 312 mounted on the female housing 311. The female housing 311 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 via screws, and the female terminal 312 is connected to an external power source. The second terminal connector 32 is a male connector, comprising a male housing 321 and a male terminal 322 mounted on the male housing 321. The male housing 321 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2 via screws, and the male terminal 322 is electrically connected to the lamp. The male housing 321 is inserted into the female housing 311, and the male terminal 322 and the female terminal 312 are in electrical contact to achieve circuit connectivity.

[0054] It can be understood that when the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 12 are respectively connected to the first connecting groove 21 and the second connecting groove 23, the male terminal 322 is also in electrical contact with the female terminal 312. While completing the installation and fixation of the lamp, the circuit connection of the lamp is also completed, and the installation is convenient and efficient.

[0055] In this embodiment, the male terminal 322 is a pin terminal, and the female terminal 312 is a socket terminal. The electrical connection is achieved by plugging the pin terminal and the socket terminal together, which makes the transmission of electrical signals more stable and efficient.

[0056] As a further optimization, an opening 313 is provided at one end of the female housing 311 near the male housing 321. Guide slopes 314 are formed on opposite sides of the opening 313 along the insertion direction of the male housing 321. The guide slopes 314 can be used to guide the male housing 321 into the female housing 311 for accurate alignment, further improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0057] As a further optimization, two opposing inner side walls of the female housing 311 are provided with guide ridges 315 along the insertion direction of the male housing 321, and two opposing outer side walls of the male housing 321 are correspondingly provided with guide grooves 323. The guide ridges 315 are plugged into the guide grooves 323. In this embodiment, the guide ridges 315 are connected to the guide slopes 314. When the male housing 321 is inserted into the female housing 311, it first enters the female housing 311 from the opening 313 along the guide slopes 314. Thereafter, the guide ridges 315 are inserted into the guide grooves 323 and slide along the guide grooves 323 until the guide ridges 315 are fully plugged into the guide grooves 323, completing the connection between the female housing 311 and the male housing 321. At this point, the female terminal 312 is also in electrical contact with the male terminal 322. Through the cooperation of the guide protrusion 315 and the guide groove 323, not only can the male end shell 321 be further guided to be accurately inserted into the female end shell 311 to improve the installation accuracy, but also the connection relationship between the male end shell 321 and the female end shell 311 can be consolidated, making the electrical contact between the male terminal 322 and the female terminal 312 more stable, thereby ensuring the normal use of the lamp.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 2 is further provided with a positioning foolproof structure 24, which can be a positioning foolproof ridge, and the positioning foolproof ridge can be provided adjacent to the second connecting groove 23. During installation, the positioning foolproof ridge can abut against the second connecting member 12, allowing the second connecting member 12 to be accurately aligned with the second connecting groove 23, thereby allowing the second connecting member 12 to be accurately and quickly engaged in the second connecting groove 23, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy and efficiency of lamp installation.

[0059] The installation structure of this embodiment realizes electrical connection through the cooperation of the pin terminal and the socket terminal, which can improve the transmission efficiency and stability of the electrical signal; by setting the guide bevel, the installation efficiency and installation accuracy of the lamp can be improved; by the cooperation of the guide ridge and the guide groove, the installation accuracy can be further improved, and the connection between the male end shell and the female end shell can be made more stable, which is conducive to improving the stability of the electrical connection; by setting the positioning anti-fool structure, the accurate alignment installation of the mounting frame and the mounting frame can be achieved.
