[0029] The utility model provides a touch lamp installation structure, aiming to solve the problem of low assembly and disassembly efficiency of the existing touch lamp installation structure.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the touch lamp mounting structure 100 includes a ceiling assembly 10 and a touch lamp 20. A mounting hole 111 is provided on the ceiling of the ceiling assembly 10. The mounting hole 111 has a first edge 122 and a second edge 132 arranged opposite to each other. The first edge 122 forms a limiting protrusion 131; the touch lamp 20 includes a mounting portion 21 and a clamping portion 22 connected to each other. The mounting portion 21 is installed on the ceiling assembly 10. The clamping portion 22 extends from the end of the mounting portion 21 toward the mounting hole 111. A clamping groove 221 is provided on one side of the clamping portion 22, and the second edge 132 is clamped into the clamping groove 221; an elastic buckle 223 is provided on the other side of the clamping portion 22, and a limiting groove 2232a is provided on the elastic buckle 223, and the limiting protrusion 131 is clamped into the limiting groove 2232a.

[0031] During the operation, when installing the touch light 20, the limiting protrusion 131 of the ceiling assembly 10 is placed downward, and the operator first extends the installation portion 21 of the touch light 20 into the installation hole 111. At this time, one side of the touch light 20 abuts against the first edge 122; then, the touch light 20 is rotated counterclockwise based on the abutment point between the touch light 20 and the first edge 122 until the elastic buckle 223 abuts against the second edge 132; and the touch light 20 is moved toward the direction close to the second edge 132. Control the light 20. Repeat the steps of rotating and moving the touch light 20 several times so that the limiting protrusion 131 is stuck in the limiting groove 2232a; continue to rotate the touch light 20 counterclockwise so that the first edge 122 is stuck in the clamping groove 221. The first edge 122 is stuck in the clamping groove 221, and the limiting protrusion 131 on the second edge 132 is stuck in the limiting groove 2232a, so that the touch light 20 is limited in the installation hole 111, thereby completing the installation operation of the touch light 20.

[0032] Similarly, when the touch lamp 20 needs to be repaired or replaced, the limiting protrusion 131 of the ceiling assembly 10 is positioned upward. The operator pulls the touch lamp 20 downward to disengage the limiting protrusion 131 from the limiting groove 2232a. At this point, one side of the touch lamp 20 abuts against the second edge 132. The operator then rotates the touch lamp 20 clockwise with the abutment point between the touch lamp 20 and the second edge 132 as a base point, simultaneously moving the touch lamp 20 toward the first edge 122. Finally, the operator pulls the touch lamp 20 downward to disengage the touch lamp 20 from the mounting hole 111, allowing the operator to perform maintenance. The touch lamp mounting structure 100 allows the touch lamp 20 to be repaired without disassembling the ceiling body 11, simplifying the operation and reducing maintenance time. This effectively solves the problem of low assembly and disassembly efficiency of existing touch lamp mounting structures 100.

[0033] The mounting portion 21 of the touch lamp 20 is supported on the ceiling assembly 10 in the horizontal direction, and a mounting cavity is provided in the mounting portion 21, and components arranged in the horizontal direction are provided in the mounting cavity, thereby minimizing the space occupied by the mounting portion 21 in the vertical direction. One end of the clamping portion 22 extends into the mounting hole 111, and the other end of the clamping portion 22 is connected to the mounting portion 21. The mounting portion 21 extends toward the first edge 122, and the limiting protrusion 131 is clamped into the limiting groove 2232a of the clamp, and the first edge 122 is clamped into the clamping groove 221. The clamping groove 221 and the clamp are arranged relative to each other, so as to cooperate in installing the touch lamp 20 in the mounting hole 111, which not only reduces the space occupied by the touch lamp 20 in the vertical direction to facilitate the arrangement of peripheral components, but also ensures that the touch lamp 20 can be installed in the mounting hole 111.

[0034] Based on the above embodiment, the elastic buckle 223 includes a connecting section 2231 and a clamping section 2232. The connecting section 2231 is mounted on the touch light. The end of the clamping section 2232, which is away from the connecting section 2231, is tilted away from the connecting section 2231. A retaining groove 2232a is formed on the end of the clamping section 2232, which is away from the connecting section 2231. During assembly and disassembly of the touch light 20, when the second edge 132 abuts the clamping section 2232, the clamping section 2232 is squeezed. When the clamping section 2232 abuts the second edge 132, the angle between the connecting section 2231 and the clamping section 2232 decreases, thereby reducing the horizontal dimension of the touch light 20, allowing it to enter or exit the mounting hole 111. After the clamping section 2232 is separated from the second edge 132, the angle between the connecting section 2231 and the clamping section 2232 returns to its initial state, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly and improving assembly and disassembly efficiency. The included angle between the connecting section 2231 and the engaging section 2232 is 7° to 30°.

[0035] Furthermore, the touch light 20 includes a lampshade 23, which is disposed on the edge of the clamping portion 22 away from the mounting portion 21. The lampshade 23 abuts the bottom of the ceiling assembly 10. The lampshade 23 abuts the first edge 122 and the second edge 132. The side of the lampshade 23 away from the base plate is also chamfered. This not only shields the connection between the touch light 20 and the ceiling assembly 10, ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle interior, but also prevents injuries to workers during assembly and disassembly, improving safety.

[0036] Furthermore, the engaging portion 22 is provided with a limiting bevel 222, forming a coupling groove 221 between the limiting bevel 222 and the lampshade 23. The limiting bevel 222 slopes downwardly toward the engaging portion 22 and abuts against the first bracket 12. A limiting bevel 222 is provided on the inner wall of the coupling groove 221 near the mounting portion 21. The limiting bevel 222 slopes downward toward the engaging portion 22. During installation of the touch light 20, when the operator inserts the mounting portion 21 of the touch light 20 into the mounting hole 111, the limiting bevel 222 abuts against the first bracket 12. When the operator rotates the touch light 20, the first bracket 12 provides a fulcrum for the touch light 20. When the operator moves the touch light 20, the limiting bevel 222 serves as a guide, facilitating installation of the touch light 20 in the mounting hole 111.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the ceiling assembly 10 includes a ceiling body 11 and a first bracket 12 and a second bracket 13 arranged on the ceiling body 11, and a mounting hole 111 is opened on the ceiling body 11; the first bracket 12 is arranged corresponding to the first edge 122, and the second bracket 13 is arranged corresponding to the second edge 132, and the second bracket 13 has a limiting protrusion 131 extending toward the edge direction close to the mounting hole 111.

[0038] A rounded corner structure 121 is provided at the junction of the first bracket 12 and the limiting inclined surface 222. A clearance notch 123 is provided on the side of the first bracket 12 away from the ceiling body 11. This clearance notch 123 is designed to allow the touch light 20 to pass through. Located on the side of the first bracket 12 near the engaging groove 221, this notch provides space for the touch light 20 to move, effectively preventing interference and hard collisions between the touch light 20 and the first bracket 12.

[0039] Specifically, a light outlet 24 is defined at one end of the engaging portion 22 away from the mounting portion 21, and a lampshade 23 is provided at the edge of the light outlet 24. The light outlet 24 is used to illuminate the interior of the vehicle, allowing the driver or passenger to find items or read books. The lampshade 23 is provided at the edge of the light outlet 24, and abuts against an edge of the mounting hole 111 away from the first bracket 12 and the second bracket 13. The first bracket 12 and the first edge 122 are both engaged with the engaging groove 221, while the limiting protrusion 131 on the second bracket 13 is engaged with the limiting groove 2232a on the buckle, thereby confining the touch light 20 in the mounting hole 111. The mounting structure is stable and secure, and is easy to disassemble for maintenance work, reducing the difficulty of maintenance personnel.

[0040] In addition, the outer connection between the clamping portion 22 and the mounting portion 21 is chamfered, which not only improves the overall aesthetics of the touch light 20, but also prevents interference between the touch light 20 and the base assembly during installation and removal, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0041] The end of the mounting portion 21 away from the engaging portion 22 is provided with a power interface 211 for connecting to an external power source. The power interface 211 is used to power the touch light 20. The power interface 211 is provided at the end of the mounting portion 21 away from the engaging portion 22 to facilitate connection to an external power source.

[0042] Furthermore, the upper shell 224 and the lower shell 212 are assembled together to form a receiving cavity for enclosing the touch lamp installation structure 100 .

[0043] In addition, the touch lamp 20 is a resin-welded component. This ensures the overall sealing of the touch lamp 20 and facilitates mass production, reducing production costs. It also ensures that the light will not scatter during the side air curtain detonation test.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
