Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lamps, in particular to a locking wire structure and a chandelier containing the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, the commonly used wire locking methods for chandeliers mainly include using special wire lockers to compress the hanging wires and fix them to the lamps, and tightening the hanging wires into the holes of the lamps with screws. These methods can meet the needs of chandeliers to withstand tensile forces (for example, 35 pounds) in most cases. However, with the increasing requirements of consumers for the appearance design of chandeliers, thin-walled chandeliers are gradually favored by the market. The frame design of this type of chandelier is light and thin, but it also brings the challenge of wire locking and fixing. Due to the structural limitations of thin-walled chandeliers, there is often not enough space to install wire lockers or screws. If additional structures are added to accommodate these fixings, the appearance of the chandelier will be affected. Therefore, how to achieve stable wire locking of chandeliers in a limited space without affecting the appearance of the chandelier has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in the current chandelier manufacturing field.

[0028] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0032] refer to Figure 1-4An embodiment of the present invention shows a wire locking structure, including a hanger 1 and a hanging rope 2, the side wall of the hanger 1 is recessed with a curved groove 11, the top of the hanger 1 is provided with a threading hole 12, the threading hole 12 is connected with the first end of the groove 11, the side wall of the hanger 1 is also recessed with a limiting groove 13, the limiting groove 13 is connected to the second end of the groove 11, and the width of the limiting groove 13 is greater than the width of the groove 11; the first end of the hanging rope 2 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 21, the hanging rope 2 is embedded in the groove 11, the limiting block 21 is set in the limiting groove 13, and the second end of the hanging rope 2 passes through the threading hole 12.

[0033] Specifically, in the suspended state, the hanging rope 2 is tightened, and a step (not marked in the figure) is formed between the limiting groove 13 and the end of the groove 11, and the limiting block 21 abuts against the step between the limiting groove 13 and the groove 11. At the same time, since the groove 11 is a curved structure, the tightened hanging rope 2 will be pressed against the inner wall of the groove 11 to generate sufficient friction to ensure that the hanger 1 can be stably suspended and meet the load-bearing standard. Among them, the groove 11 and the limiting groove 13 are both recessed in the side wall of the hanger 1 and will not damage the overall appearance of the chandelier. Among them, the width of the limiting block 21 is greater than the diameter of the threading hole 12. The threading hole 12 can prevent the hanging rope 2 from completely detaching from the groove 11 from the side, thereby ensuring the safety of the suspension.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-4 As shown, it also includes at least one set screw 3. The hanger 1 is provided with at least one mounting hole 14. The mounting hole 14 is located on the groove 11. The diameter of the mounting hole 14 is larger than the width of the groove 11. The set screw 3 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, the set screw 3 functions to block the suspension rope 2 from the side, preventing it from escaping from the groove 11. It should be noted that the suspension weight is primarily borne by the stopper 21 and the friction between the suspension rope 2 and the inner wall of the groove 11, while the set screw 3 is essentially unaffected by the suspension weight. Precisely because the set screw 3 is unaffected by the suspension weight, the depth of the mounting hole 14 does not need to be too deep, and the thickness requirement for the hanger 1 is not high, making it suitable for thin-walled hangers 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-4 As shown, the groove 11 includes an upper arc segment 111 and a lower arc segment 112 , and the groove 11 is S-shaped.

[0037] The upper arc segment 111 is the one with the apex of the arc located at the top, while the lower arc segment 112 is the one with the apex of the arc located at the bottom. Figure 3 and Figure 4 From the perspective of the lifting rope 2, the lifting rope 2 will be pressed tightly against the lower wall of the upper arc segment 111 and the upper wall of the lower arc segment 112, ensuring that there is enough friction area between the lifting rope 2 and the groove 11 to generate enough friction force.

[0038] In other embodiments, the number of the upper arc segments 111 and the lower arc segments 112 may be greater to provide more friction support.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the upper arc segment 111 and the lower arc segment 112 both have an arc angle greater than 180°, so that the contact area between the suspension rope 2 and the upper arc segment 111 and the lower arc segment 112 is larger.

[0040] Specifically, the suspension rope 2 is a steel wire rope, and the limit block 21 is a metal head riveted and fixed to the end of the suspension rope 2. In other embodiments, the suspension rope 2 can also be made of other materials, as long as the suspension rope 2 itself has sufficient strength.

[0041] Specifically, the hanger 1 is a frame structure, and the groove 11 and the limiting groove 13 are provided on the inner side wall of the hanger 1. In this way, consumers cannot observe the groove 11 and the limiting groove 13 from the outside, thus achieving the effect of hiding the locking structure and making the product more aesthetically pleasing.

[0042] In addition, to facilitate understanding of the applicability of the above-mentioned lock wire structure, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 , also provides a chandelier, which includes the above-mentioned locking structure and LED module 4;

[0043] The LED module 4 includes an inner light frame 41 , an upper light board 42 and a lower light board 43 are respectively provided above and below the inner light frame 41 , an upper diffuser plate 44 is provided above the upper light board 42 , and a lower diffuser plate 45 is provided below the lower light board 43 ;

[0044] The hanger 1 serves as the outer light frame of the chandelier, and the LED module 4 is mounted on the hanger 1 . The chandelier is in the shape of a square frame as a whole, and can emit light upward and downward.

[0045] The wire locking structure of the present application is applied to the chandelier, which not only has good concealment, high aesthetics and good stability, but also does not require the installation of fixing parts such as wire lockers on the top of the chandelier, and does not affect the light output effect from above the chandelier.

[0046] It should be noted that the wire locking structure of the present application is not limited to application in the chandelier of the above-mentioned structure. The purpose of providing the above-mentioned chandelier is only to make it easier to understand the advantages of the wire locking structure of the present application.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
