Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of in-ground lights, and in particular to an in-ground light that can be installed quickly. Background Technology

[0002] Ground lights, also known as in-ground lights or recessed lights, are lighting fixtures embedded in the ground. They illuminate the ground and vegetation, enhancing the landscape and improving pedestrian safety. Most now use energy-saving LED light sources, with surfaces made of polished stainless steel or aluminum alloy panels, high-quality waterproof connectors, silicone sealing rings, and tempered glass, making them waterproof, dustproof, leak-proof, and corrosion-resistant. To ensure proper drainage, it is recommended to place gravel under the ground lights during installation.

[0003] A known authorized patent with application number CN202221873046.0 discloses a quick-installation in-ground light, including a mounting cylinder and an in-ground light body installed inside the mounting cylinder. The mounting cylinder contains an installation component that automatically engages with the in-ground light body after it is inserted downwards. The top of the mounting cylinder is detachably connected to the top of the mounting tube. This application employs a structural design that uses the installation component to install the in-ground light body inside the mounting cylinder. This design utilizes the mounting cylinder to protect the in-ground light body and, in conjunction with the installation component, enables rapid installation of the in-ground light body, improving installation efficiency.

[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technologies: the lampshade is not easy to disassemble and assemble quickly during use. At present, the lampshade of the in-ground light is usually installed by bolts or clips. However, bolt connection requires tools to disassemble and assemble, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Frequent disassembly and assembly can easily cause stripping of threads. Although clip connection is convenient, clip connection depends on the elasticity of the clip material. After several disassembly and assembly, the clip is prone to deformation and loosening, which leads to a reduction in the connection stability and efficiency of the lampshade. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a quick-installation in-ground light to solve the issue of inconvenient quick disassembly and assembly of the lampshade in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a quick-installation in-ground light, comprising: a base shell, an in-ground light body disposed inside the base shell, and a connecting mechanism between the in-ground light body and the base shell;

[0007] The top of the base housing is provided with a lampshade panel, and a sealing mechanism is provided between the lampshade panel and the base housing;

[0008] The top of the base housing has multiple through slots, and a piston cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the through slots. A suction cup that adheres to the lampshade panel is fixedly installed on the top of the piston cylinder, and a positioning tube that engages with the suction cup is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lampshade panel.

[0009] A screw is rotatably connected through the bottom of the piston cylinder, and a piston block that slides in contact with the inner wall of the piston cylinder is threaded onto the surface of the screw.

[0010] The bottom end of the screw is fixedly connected to a gear one, and the surface of the base shell is provided with a slot that communicates with the through groove. A gear two that meshes with gear one is rotatably connected in the slot, and the lampshade panel is provided with a rotating mechanism for rotating gear two.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating ring rotatably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the lampshade panel, a plurality of connecting rods fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring, and an internal gear ring fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rods and meshing with the gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism includes an annular sealing shell fixedly installed on the top of the base housing and a sealing ring fixedly installed on the bottom of the lampshade panel and engaging with the annular sealing shell.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a supporting iron ring fixedly installed inside the base housing and a magnetic ring fixedly installed at the bottom of the inground lamp body and magnetically connected to the supporting iron ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner surface of the base shell is provided with multiple filling grooves, the filling grooves are filled with thermally conductive silicone grease, and multiple heat dissipation fins are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the base shell.

[0015] The filling slots and heat dissipation fins are evenly distributed in a circular array, and the base shell is made of aluminum alloy.

[0016] Furthermore, a wire hole is provided on one side of the bottom surface of the base housing, and a sealing ring is fixedly installed in the wire hole. The sealing ring is made of rubber material, and a reserved connection hole is provided on the bottom surface of the base housing.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, the in-ground light body and the base shell are connected by the connecting mechanism, and then the lampshade panel is placed on the base shell. The positioning tube is sleeved on the suction cup. If the lampshade panel is not in complete contact with the base shell, the rotating mechanism is rotated to adjust until the two are in complete contact. Then, the rotating mechanism drives the second gear to rotate, and drives the first gear and the screw to rotate, so that the piston block moves down to draw the gas in the suction cup, so that a negative pressure is formed inside to suck and fix the lampshade panel. When disassembling, the rotating mechanism is reversed and the piston block moves up to disassemble, thereby achieving the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the lampshade panel. This avoids the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly or the deformation and loosening of the clips that are easily caused by bolt or buckle connection methods, and effectively improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly and the stability of installation of the lampshade panel.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following description.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a quick-installation in-ground light includes: a base housing 1, an in-ground light body 2 disposed inside the base housing 1, and a connecting mechanism between the in-ground light body 2 and the base housing 1.

[0026] The top of the base housing 1 is provided with a lampshade panel 3, and a sealing mechanism is provided between the lampshade panel 3 and the base housing 1;

[0027] The top of the base housing 1 has multiple through slots. A piston cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the through slots. A suction cup 5 that adheres to the lampshade panel 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the piston cylinder 4. A positioning tube 6 that fits and engages with the suction cup 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lampshade panel 3.

[0028] A screw 7 is rotatably connected through the bottom of the piston cylinder 4, and a piston block 8 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 7 and slides against the inner wall of the piston cylinder 4.

[0029] The bottom end of the screw 7 is fixedly connected to a gear 9. The surface of the base housing 1 is provided with a slot that communicates with the through groove. A gear 10 that meshes with the gear 9 is rotatably connected in the slot. The lampshade panel 3 is provided with a rotating mechanism for the gear 10.

[0030] The present invention provides a technical solution in which, during use, the in-ground light body 2 is placed inside the base housing 1 and fixed by a connecting mechanism. Then, the base housing 1 is placed in a pre-embedded hole and fixed, and the lampshade panel 3 is installed. During this process, the lampshade panel 3 is placed on the base housing 1, so that the positioning tube 6 is fitted onto the suction cup 5. If the lampshade panel 3 is not fully in contact with the base housing 1, i.e., the positioning tube 6 does not completely cover the suction cup 5, the rotating mechanism is rotated to adjust until the lampshade panel 3 is fully in contact with the base housing 1 (i.e., the suction cup 5 is in contact with the lampshade panel 3). A sealing mechanism is then used to seal the connection between the two. Finally, the rotating mechanism drives gear 1. The screw 7 rotates, causing the piston block 8 to move downwards within the piston cylinder 4 and draw gas from the suction cup 5. This creates a negative pressure within the suction cup 5, firmly holding the lampshade panel 3 in place, thus achieving the purpose of installing the lampshade panel 3. To disassemble, the rotating mechanism is reversed, causing the screw 7 to reverse and drive the piston block 8 upwards, squeezing gas into the suction cup 5. This reduces the negative pressure within the suction cup 5, weakening the suction effect, allowing for easy disassembly. This achieves the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the lampshade panel 3, avoiding the inconvenience or deformation and loosening of bolts or clips that are easily caused by bolt or clip connections. This effectively improves the ease of disassembly and assembly and the stability of the installation of the lampshade panel 3.

[0031] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating ring 11 rotatably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the lampshade panel 3, a plurality of connecting rods fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 11, and an internal gear ring 12 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rods and meshing with the gear 10. The top surface of the rotating ring 11 is equipped with a protrusion that facilitates force application, and the height of the protrusion is on the same plane as the lampshade panel 3.

[0032] Specifically, when installing the lampshade panel 3, place it on the base housing 1 and put the positioning tube 6 on the suction cup 5. If the inner gear ring 12 does not mesh with the second gear 10, the positioning tube 6 will not completely cover the suction cup 5, that is, the lampshade panel 3 will not contact the base housing 1. At this time, by rotating the rotating ring 11, the inner gear ring 12 is rotated and adjusted so that the inner gear ring 12 meshes with the second gear 10. Then, rotating the rotating ring 11 can drive the second gear 10 to rotate through the inner gear ring 12, thereby causing the piston block 8 to move down and attach the lampshade panel 3 to the suction cup 5 for fixation.

[0033] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes an annular sealing shell 13 fixedly installed on the top of the base housing 1 and a sealing ring 14 fixedly installed on the bottom of the lampshade panel 3 and engaging with the annular sealing shell 13, wherein the sealing ring 14 is made of rubber.

[0034] Specifically, after the lampshade panel 3 is installed, its bottom sealing ring 14 can be inserted into the annular sealing shell 13 to achieve the effect of sealing the connection between the lampshade panel 3 and the base shell 1, preventing moisture from entering the base shell 1 from the gap at the connection.

[0035] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a support iron ring 15 fixedly installed inside the base housing 1 and a magnet ring 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inground lamp body 2 and magnetically connected to the support iron ring 15.

[0036] Specifically, when the in-ground light body 2 is placed inside the base housing 1, the magnetic ring 16 at its bottom can contact and magnetically attract the supporting iron ring 15, thereby fixing the in-ground light body 2. When disassembling, the in-ground light body 2 can be lifted upwards by force, which is convenient for personnel to operate.

[0037] Preferably, the inner surface of the base shell 1 is provided with a plurality of filling grooves 17, the filling grooves 17 are filled with thermal grease, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 18 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the base shell 1.

[0038] The filling slots 17 and heat dissipation fins 18 are evenly distributed in a circular array, and the base shell 1 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0039] Specifically, after the in-ground light body 2 is installed, thermal grease is injected into the filling groove 17 using a syringe filled with thermal grease, so that it comes into contact with the in-ground light body 2, in order to reduce the gap between the in-ground light body 2 and the base shell 1 and ensure the stability between the two. At the same time, the heat released by the in-ground light body 2 is transferred to the heat dissipation fins 18 through the base shell 1, which can achieve the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0040] Preferably, a wire hole is provided on one side of the bottom surface of the base housing 1, and a sealing ring 19 is fixedly installed in the wire hole. The sealing ring 19 is made of rubber material, and a reserved connection hole is provided on the bottom surface of the base housing 1.

[0041] Specifically, by setting the sealing ring 19, the wire hole can be sealed after the wire passes through, so that it fits tightly with the wire, so as to prevent moisture from entering the base shell 1 and affecting the in-ground light body 2, thus ensuring the performance of the in-ground light body 2.

[0042] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
