Detailed Implementation

[0022] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0023] refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel flying saucer lamp, including a lamp housing 1, a pressure ring 2, a movable sleeve 3, a lamp head 4, a spring 5, a circuit board 6, a spiral lamp holder 7, and a ceiling-mounted ring 8;

[0024] The upper surface of the lamp housing 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11, and a guide tube 12 is provided at the axis of the receiving cavity 11;

[0025] The pressure ring 2 is installed at the opening of the receiving cavity 11;

[0026] The movable sleeve 3 is axially movably sleeved on the guide tube 12 and movably fitted between the pressure ring 2 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 11;

[0027] The lamp holder 4 is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve 3;

[0028] Spring 5 is sleeved on guide tube 12, with its two ends abutting against the bottom of movable sleeve 3 and receiving cavity 11 respectively;

[0029] The circuit board 6 is installed inside the lamp housing 1 and is electrically connected to the lamp holder 4 via a wire passing through the guide tube 12;

[0030] The spiral lamp holder 7 is installed in the ceiling-mounted ring 8 that is pre-installed on the ceiling so that the lamp head 4 can be threaded and powered on.

[0031] Through the above solution, this utility model uses the spring 5 to continuously push out the movable sleeve 3 and the lamp head 4 fixedly connected thereto. The elastic force of the spring 5 can always maintain the tendency of the movable sleeve 3 to extend so as to connect with the spiral lamp holder 7. When installing the UFO lamp, the compression spring 5 can provide space for the movable sleeve 3 and the lamp head 4 to retract into the accommodating cavity 11, ensuring that the upper surface of the lamp housing 1 can fit against the ceiling where the ceiling-mounted ring 8 is installed, without leaving any gaps, achieving self-adaptive installation and providing a better user experience. The movable sleeve 3 can only move axially relative to the guide tube 12 and cannot rotate, so that the user can achieve the threaded connection between the lamp head 4 and the spiral lamp holder 7 by grasping the lamp housing 1 and rotating it, thereby realizing the installation and removal of the UFO lamp.

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] The aforementioned lamp housing 1 includes a detachable lamp plate 1a and a glass shell 1b; the aforementioned accommodating cavity 11 and its internal guide tube 12 are disposed on the lamp plate 1a, and the circuit board 6 is fixed to the lower surface of the lamp plate 1a by means of bolt fastening.

[0034] The pressure ring 2 is provided with a plurality of snap fasteners 21 evenly distributed around its periphery, and the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with snap fastener grooves 13 for the snap fasteners 21 to hook onto. The engagement of the snap fasteners 21 and the snap fastener grooves 13 achieves relative fixation of the pressure ring 2 at the opening of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby restricting the movement space of the movable sleeve 3 within the range of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0035] The sidewall of the aforementioned accommodating cavity 11 is uniformly provided with a plurality of guide grooves 14 extending along the axial direction of the accommodating cavity 11. The circumferential surface of the movable sleeve 3 is provided with guide protrusions 31 that slide in the guide grooves 14 to guide the axial movement of the movable sleeve 3 and restrict its rotation. The outer diameter of the guide protrusions 31 is larger than the inner diameter of the pressure ring 2.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the guide groove 14 are respectively provided with a step 15 and a groove 16. The gap between the pressure ring 2 and the step 15 forms an upper receiving position for the guide protrusion 31 to rotate and engage, and the groove 16 forms a lower receiving position for the guide protrusion 31 to rotate and engage. The upper receiving position corresponds to the extreme state of the lamp head 4 extending, while the lower receiving position can keep the lamp head 4 retracted into the receiving cavity 11. At this time, the spring 5 is continuously compressed. When the guide protrusion 31 is in the upper receiving position, the guide protrusion 31 is stuck in the retaining wall of the step 15 and will not slip out during the process of the lamp head 4 being screwed into the spiral lamp holder 7. When installing the UFO lamp, the product can be rotated in the opposite direction to slide the guide protrusion 31 out of the step 15 and into the guide groove 14. The compression spring 5 retracts the movable sleeve 3 and the lamp head 4 into the receiving cavity 11, and then the guide protrusion 31 is screwed into the groove 16 until the guide protrusion 31 abuts against the retaining wall of the groove 16.

[0037] Secondly, the lower surface of the pressure ring 2 and the upper wall of the groove 16 are respectively provided with a first positioning rib 22 and a second positioning rib 17, and the upper surface of the guide protrusion 31 is provided with a positioning groove 32 for the first positioning rib 22 or the second positioning rib 17 to move and cooperate. This allows the guide protrusion 31 to be rotated and locked into the upper or lower receiving position and maintain the corresponding state.

[0038] The lower surface of the aforementioned movable sleeve 3 is provided with a positioning tube 33 for the end of the spring 5 to be fitted, and the difference between the inner diameter of the spring 5 and the outer diameter of the guide tube 12 is not less than the thickness of the positioning tube 33. The positioning tube 33 can ensure the relative position of the end of the spring 5 and the movable sleeve 3, thereby improving the structural and functional stability.

[0039] A sealing element 9 is installed inside the guide tube 12 to achieve a seal between the wire and the guide tube 12, preventing dust from entering the lamp housing 1.

[0040] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
