[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] See also Figures 1-6This embodiment provides a mounting mechanism 100, which is mounted on a lamp such as a strip light or a cylindrical light. The mounting mechanism 100 includes a lamp body 1 and an elastic bracket 2. The lamp body 1 is the portion of the lamp used to accommodate and mount the light-emitting component and the heat dissipation component. The lamp body 1 includes a housing 11 and a groove 12. The housing 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111. The groove 12 is recessed from the housing 11 toward the receiving cavity 111. An undercut groove 121 is provided on the side of the groove 12 adjacent to the receiving cavity 111. The elastic bracket 2 is a mounting component that quickly connects the lamp body 1 to an external foundation. The elastic bracket 2 includes a base plate 21 and cantilevers 22 disposed on either side of the base plate 21. The base plate 21 and the cantilevers 22 surround an installation space 23 for accommodating the lamp body 1. A first clamping block 221 and a second clamping block 222 are provided at the end of the cantilever 22, which are mated with the lamp body 1. The first clamping block 221 is disposed adjacent to the second clamping block 222.

[0047] During use, the first clamping block 221 is inserted into the slot body 12 and snap-fits into the undercut groove 121, while the second clamping block 222 snaps into the slot body 12. The second clamping block 222 and the slot body 12 form a spring clip snap-fit ​​structure, making the connection between the lamp body 1 and the elastic bracket 2 the same as the existing spring clip snap-fit ​​structure, and the lamp body 1 can be fixed without a third accessory. The first clamping block 221 is positioned adjacent to the second clamping block 222, and another snap-fit ​​structure is formed by the first clamping block 221 and the undercut groove 121. After installation, if the lamp body 1 is subjected to a large downward pulling force that may cause the second clamping block 222 to separate from the slot body 12, the first clamping block 221 can still support the slot body 12, ensuring a secure connection between the lamp body 1 and the elastic bracket 2.

[0048] After long-term use, the elastic bracket 2 may experience mechanical fatigue, causing the angle between the cantilevers 22 on both sides to increase, which in turn reduces the load-bearing capacity of the snap connection between the second clamping block 222 and the slot 12. However, the first clamping block 221 and the undercut slot 121 ensure that the first clamping block 221 can still securely fasten the lamp body 1 even when the angle of the cantilevers 22 increases, ensuring that the connection of the mounting mechanism 100 remains effective and extending its service life.

[0049] The first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 are adjacently arranged at the end of the cantilever 22, and an undercut groove 121 is added in the groove body 12. The added structure is simple and has a small cost increase while achieving double fixing protection.

[0050] exist Figure 1 Based on Figure 2-Figure 3. Specifically, the shell 11 includes a base 112 and a side 113, and the slot body 12 is arranged at the end of the side 113. The accommodating cavity 111 is formed by surrounding the base 112 and the side 113, and the undercut groove 121 is formed by being obliquely recessed from the slot body 12 toward the base 112. More specifically, the first clamping block 221 is formed by being obliquely bent upward from the end of the cantilever 22 toward the installation space 23, and the first clamping block 221 abuts against the side 113. After being inserted into the slot body 12, the first clamping block 221 bent obliquely upward is snapped into the obliquely recessed undercut groove 121, thereby limiting the freedom of the lamp body 1 in the vertical direction Y and the horizontal direction X, so that the snap connection between the first clamping block 221 and the undercut groove 121 is more stable and firm.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second card block 222 is provided on both sides of the first card block 221. Figure 3 As shown, because the first clamping block 221 and the undercut groove 121 have a better load-bearing capacity when supporting the lamp body 1, they are conducive to sharing the load of the second clamping blocks 222 on both sides, reducing the mechanical fatigue loss of the cantilever 22, and increasing the service life of the elastic bracket 2. However, the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 have significant differences in the direction and method of the snap connection. To prevent the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 from interfering with the installation effect and reducing the service life of the first clamping block 221 or the second clamping block 222 during installation and disassembly, a separation groove 223 is provided between the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222. The provision of the separation groove 223 makes the forces acting on the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 independent of each other, while also improving the process implementation of the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222.

[0052] Furthermore, the second clamping block 222 is formed by bending obliquely downward from the end of the cantilever 22 toward the installation space 23, and then bending obliquely downward away from the installation space 23. Figure 4 The second clamping block 222 forms a limit for the trough body 12 through the first bend and extends out of the trough body 12 through the second bend. During disassembly, the second clamping block 222 can be disassembled by placing a finger on the end of the second bend and prying it upward in the vertical direction Y. The elastic deformation of the second clamping block 222 increases the angle between the first bend and the cantilever 22. Simultaneously, the angle between the cantilever 22 and the base plate 21 also increases, gradually separating the second clamping block 22 from the trough body 12, separating the lamp body 1 from the elastic bracket 2. To firmly fix the second clamping block 222 to the trough body 12, the second clamping block 222 abuts the side portion 113 to prevent the lamp body 1 from shaking within the installation space 23.

[0053] Continue reading Figures 1-4The cantilever 22 includes an integrally formed first mounting plate 224 and a second mounting plate 225. The first mounting plate 224 extends from the outside of the base plate 21 in a direction away from the mounting space 23, and the second mounting plate 225 extends from the end of the first mounting plate 224 in a direction closer to the mounting space 23. By providing the first mounting plate 224 and the second mounting plate 225, external forces applied to the cantilever 22 during installation or removal can be released through deformation at the connection between the first mounting plate 224 and the second mounting plate 225, and at the connection between the base plate 21 and the cantilever 22, respectively. This reduces local mechanical fatigue of the elastic bracket 2 and extends the service life of the mounting mechanism 100. To facilitate the manufacturing process of the elastic bracket 2, in this embodiment, the angle between the second mounting plate 225 and the first mounting plate 224 is set to an obtuse angle.

[0054] Furthermore, the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 are arranged at the end of the second mounting plate 225. When installing or removing the lamp, the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 are pushed into or out of the slot body 12 by force. Through transmission, the force is sequentially transmitted from the second mounting plate 225 and the first mounting plate 224 to the connection between the first mounting plate 224 and the base plate 21, completing the elastic deformation. Since the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 are both in contact with the side portion 113, the second mounting plate 225 connected to the first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 also needs to be clamped and connected to the side portion 113 to obtain the restriction of the lamp body 1 in the horizontal direction X. At this point, the first clamping block 221, the second clamping block 222 and the second mounting plate 225 realize the limiting fixation of the lamp body 1 in the vertical direction Y and the horizontal direction X.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to ensure the structural strength and elasticity of the elastic bracket 2, reinforcing ribs 211 are provided on the base plate 21 and at the connection between the base plate 21 and the cantilever 22. During production, the reinforcing ribs 211 are formed by stamping or punching, which is easy to produce.

[0056] Please Figure 3-Figure 4 Based on Figure 5 To further secure the lamp body 1 on the elastic bracket 2, the second mounting plate 225 is provided with a support groove 2251 at the first bend of the second clamping block 222. The side portion 113 is provided with an arc-shaped ridge 1131 corresponding to the upper portion of the trough body 12. The ridge 1131 abuts the support groove 2251. With the support groove 2251 abutting and supporting the ridge 1131, the connection between the trough body 12 and the second clamping block 222 is stabilized.

[0057] In this embodiment, the base 112 has an arc-shaped structure, such as Figure 6As shown, the arc-shaped structure of the base 112 is arranged at the connection between the base 112 and the side 113. When the lamp body 1 is installed in the direction of the installation space 23, the lamp body 1 only needs to be pushed into the elastic bracket 2 with one hand. The first clamping block 221 and the second clamping block 222 can avoid to the sides of the lamp body 1 along the arc-shaped structure, and the cantilever 22 is deformed by the force until the second clamping block 222 is snap-connected to the groove body 12, and the first clamping block 221 is inserted into the groove body 12 and snap-connected to the inverted groove 121. The arc-shaped structure is provided to improve the convenience and efficiency of the installation of the lamp body 1 and the elastic bracket 2. Specifically, the housing 11 has a center line M, and the groove body 12 is symmetrically opened on the side 113 in a direction perpendicular to the center line M.

[0058] In summary, the mounting mechanism provided in this embodiment incorporates a snap-on connection between the second block and the slot body, and an additional snap-on connection structure between the first block and the inverted slot. While achieving a quick, secure connection to the lamp body, the elastic bracket further secures the lamp body, providing dual securement protection. When the lamp is subjected to a downward external force, even if the force exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the second block, the first block still prevents the lamp from falling. Even after long-term use, even if slight deformation and weakening of the elastic force occur, the elastic bracket can still be tightly secured to the lamp body, reducing the risk of the lamp falling off.

[0059] In addition, by respectively adding an undercut groove and a first clamping block to the lamp body and the elastic bracket, a double fixing protection effect can be achieved, which makes the overall structure of the installation mechanism simple and reduces the additional process cost.

[0060] Example 2:

[0061] exist Figures 1-6 Refer to the basis Figure 7 . This embodiment provides a lamp 200, including a light source assembly 3, a fixing plate 4, a light emitting member 5 and a hanging member 6, and the mounting mechanism 100 described in Example 1. The light source assembly 3 and the fixing plate 4 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 111, and the two ends of the fixing plate 4 are installed at the mounting position below the groove body 12. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 4 and the shell 11 are plugged and fixed by means of limiting hooks. The light source assembly 3 is a commonly used LED light-emitting assembly on the market, and the light source assembly 3 is installed on the side of the fixing plate 4 away from the base 112. The light emitting member 5 is arranged on the side where the light source assembly 3 emits light, and is fixedly connected to the end of the lamp body 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the light source assembly 3, the fixing plate 4 is made of sheet metal. A heat sink 7 is also fixedly mounted on the side of the fixing plate 4 facing away from the light source assembly 3. Specifically, the heat sink 7 can be a standalone heat sink or a heat sink structure formed by punching and bending the fixing plate 4.

[0063] The lamp provided in this embodiment uses a mounting mechanism with dual protection, making it easy to install and remove. After installation, the lamp is secure and not prone to falling off. Compared to existing spring clip buckle structures, the lamp in this embodiment has better durability and safety.

[0064] Example 3:

[0065] exist Figure 1-Figure 7 Refer to the basis Figure 8 The lamp 200 of this embodiment is a strip chandelier hung on the top of a building. Figure 8 As shown, a mounting hole 226 is provided on the cantilever 22. After the hanger 6 is inserted into the mounting hole 226, it is connected to the hanging rope 8 for mounting on the top of the building through the hanger 6, completing the installation of the lamp 200. In other embodiments, the mounting hole 226 may also be provided on the base plate 21, and the elastic bracket 2 may be pre-installed on the wall, beam, or top of the building, thereby achieving the fixed installation of the lamp 200.

[0066] Generally, in order to facilitate the installation of the lamp 200, the elastic bracket 2 needs to be connected to the suspension part 6 and the hanging rope 8 in advance, or the elastic bracket 2 needs to be fixed to the wall, beam or top of the building first, and then the lamp body 1 installed with the light source assembly 3, the fixing plate 4 and the light output part 5 is pushed into the installation space 23. Specifically, the base 112 of the shell 11 is facing the installation space 23, and the lamp 200 is pushed by hand until the first block 221 is inserted into the slot body 12 and snap-connected to the inverted slot 121, and the second block 222 is snap-connected to the slot body 12.

[0067] To remove the lamp body 1, press the first latch 221 to disengage the undercut groove 121. After the second latch 222 is pried open, the first latch 221 opens as the cantilever 22 opens, allowing the lamp body 1 to be removed. Alternatively, after releasing the second latch 222, move the elastic bracket 2 toward the ends of the lamp body 1 until it is free of the lamp body 1.

[0068] The above content is merely an example and illustration of the structure of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these obvious alternative forms are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
