[0047] See also Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a mounting structure for a panel lamp, which includes a lamp body 200 and a bracket 100 fixedly arranged on a supporting surface. The supporting surface can be, for example, a ceiling surface. The lamp body 200 has a first side portion 210 and a second side portion 220 that are opposite to each other. The bracket 100 has a first connecting portion 110 and a second connecting portion 120 that are opposite to each other. During installation, the first side portion 210 is hooked on the first connecting portion 110, and the second side portion 220 is rotated toward the bracket 100. After installation, the second side portion 220 is fixedly connected to the second connecting portion 120.

[0048] During installation, after securing the bracket 100 to the support surface, the first side portion 210 of the lamp body 200 can be hooked onto the first connecting portion 110, allowing the operator to freely connect the circuit. After wiring is complete, the operator can conveniently rotate the lamp body 200 around the first side portion 210 and move it closer to the bracket 100. Once in position, the second side portion 220 is fixedly connected to the second connecting portion 120. This embodiment provides a panel light mounting structure that allows for quick assembly and disassembly. After installation, the first side portion 210 remains hooked onto the first connecting portion 110, ensuring a stable connection between the lamp body 200 and the bracket 100.

[0049] See also Figure 4Regarding the structure in which the first side portion 210 is hooked onto the first connecting portion 110, one of the first connecting portion 110 and the first side portion 210 is provided with a coupling hole 214, and the other is provided with a hook 112 that engages with the coupling hole 214. Specifically, the first side portion 210 is provided with a connecting member 211 with a coupling hole 214. The connecting member 211 is formed from a metal sheet and includes a base 212 connected to the lamp body 200 and an extension 213 that deflects inward relative to the vertical direction. The vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface. The top of the extension 213 is provided with a coupling hole 214.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 4 Regarding the specific arrangement of hook 112, bracket 100 includes two support bars 101 and a connecting plate 103 disposed between the two support bars 101. The support bars 101 extend beyond the edges of the connecting plate 103 to form a protrusion 102. A through-hole 104 for wiring is provided in the center of the connecting plate 103. The protrusion 102 of bracket 100 is arranged horizontally, and a portion of the protrusion 102 is bent and rotated to form hook 112. Hook 112 has a restraining slot 113 extending horizontally. The horizontal direction is the direction in which bracket 100 conforms to the support surface.

[0051] Furthermore, the limiting groove 113 has a flared portion 114, which is used to guide the first side portion 210 into the limiting groove 113, facilitating the hooking of the first side portion 210 relative to the first connecting portion 110. An elastic anti-slip member 115 is provided on the inner side of the hook 112. When the hook 112 engages with the coupling hole 214 and reaches the anti-slip member 115, the anti-slip member 115 deforms. When the hook 112 engages with the coupling hole 214 and passes over the anti-slip member 115, the anti-slip member 115 returns to its original position, preventing the hook 112 from slipping out of the coupling hole 214, thereby preventing the lamp body 200 from falling. The anti-slip member 115 can be, for example, a spring with one end fixed to the hook 112 and the other end abutting the side wall of the limiting groove 113.

[0052] See also Figures 3 to 9 In some embodiments, the lamp body 200 includes a lamp housing 201, a driver 202 located on the back side of the lamp housing 201, and an LED disposed within the lamp housing 201. The panel light's mounting structure includes a hanging member 300 connecting the bracket 100 and the lamp body 200. When the first side portion 210 is hooked onto the first connecting portion 110, circuit wiring can be performed. The wiring operation involves leading wires from the through-hole 104 and connecting them to the driver 202 and the LED. The driver 202 is located adjacent to the second side portion 220. The hanging member 300 can be used to maintain the second side portion 220 at a lower height than the first side portion 210, tilting the entire lamp body 200 to facilitate circuit wiring. After wiring, the lamp body 200 is installed in place, and the hanging member 300 is stored in the space between the lamp body 200 and the bracket 100.

[0053] The hanging member 300 can utilize a connection structure consisting of a hanging chain 310 or a bi-folding rod 320, and can replace a safety rope. After the first side portion 210 is hooked onto the first connecting portion 110, the spring clips at each end of the hanging chain 310 are respectively attached to the bracket 100 and the second side portion 220 to maintain the lamp body 200 in an inclined position. After the connection is completed, the hanging chain 310 is stored between the lamp body 200 and the bracket 100. The second side portion 220 and the second connecting portion 120 are then fixedly connected. For example, one of the second side portion 220 and the second connecting portion 120 may be provided with a clip 222 that is rotatably inserted into the clip 122. For example, the clip 122 may be provided on the second connecting portion 120, and the clip 222 may be rotatably attached to the second side portion 220. Specifically, the second side portion 220 is fixedly provided with a mounting member 221 for mounting a buckle 222, and the buckle 222 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 221. When in use, the buckle 222 rotates relative to the mounting member 221, so that the buckle 222 is placed in or out of the buckle slot 122.

[0054] The bi-folding rod 320 can be made of a rigid, rotatable, and foldable metal member, and has an extended open state and a stacked and stored closed state. One end of the bi-folding rod 320 is hinged to the bracket 100, and the other end is a connecting end 321 that is detachably connected to the second side portion 220.

[0055] Specifically, the connecting end 321 includes a snap joint 322 and a reduced diameter section 323, which is arranged between the snap joint 322 and the body of the bi-folding rod 320 and is reduced in diameter relative to the snap joint 322. The second side portion 220 defines a first through hole 223 and a second through hole 224, which are interconnected. The first through hole 223 is further away from the bracket 100 than the second through hole 224. The first through hole 223 has a larger radial dimension than the snap joint 322, while the snap joint 322 has a larger radial dimension than the second through hole 224. The first through hole 223 is configured to receive the snap joint 322, while the second through hole 224 is configured to accommodate the reduced diameter section 323 and prevent the snap joint 322 from being dislodged. The second side portion 220 includes a sloped step 225 located between the first through hole 223 and the second through hole 224 to prevent the snap joint 322 from retracting into the first through hole 223. Before using the hanger 300 with the two-fold rod 320 structure, the connecting end 321 is suspended in the air. During use, the snap joint 322 of the connecting end 321 is placed into the first through hole 223, allowing the reduced diameter section 323 to enter the second through hole 224 along the connecting area between the first through hole 223 and the second through hole 224. The first through hole 223 is farther away from the bracket 100 than the second through hole 224. Under the action of gravity, the reduced diameter section 323 will not re-enter the first through hole 223. At this time, the snap joint 322 is stopped by the inclined step 225, thereby connecting the second side portion 220 and the second connecting portion 120 through the hanger 300. After the connection is completed, the two-fold rod 320 is folded. The second side portion 220 and the second connecting portion 120 are connected and fixed by fasteners 121, such as screws.

[0056] See also Figures 10 to 13 The panel lights provided in each embodiment of the present application can be surface-mounted panel lights installed on the ceiling. The overall installation process of the panel light installation structure of the corresponding embodiment of the present application is as follows: (1) Fix the bracket 100 to the support surface. For example, make a mark on the support surface, drill a hole with a pistol drill, knock the expansion tube into the support surface, and use 6 M4*30 self-tapping screws to screw into the expansion tube to fix the bracket 100 relative to the support surface. (2) Hook the first side 210 of the lamp body 200 to the first connecting part 110, so that the elastic anti-slip part closes the limiting groove to prevent the first side 210 from falling out of the coupling hole 214 of the first connecting part 110. (3) Tilt the lamp body 200, for example, connect the hanging part 300 between the second side 220 and the second connecting part 120 to limit the maximum distance of the second side 220 relative to the bracket 100, perform corresponding circuit wiring according to L / N / G, and turn the dial of the driving power supply to adjust the color temperature and power of the panel light. (4) After the wiring is completed, the second side portion 220 of the lamp body 200 is rotated around the first side portion 210 and moved closer to the bracket 100, and the second side portion 220 and the bracket 100 are fixed to complete the installation of the panel light.

[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as no contradiction exists between these combinations of technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features of different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be deemed that the drawing also discloses examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.

[0058] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and such modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
