Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to sensor-activated lighting fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] Direct-emission panel lights offer soft, uniform illumination and are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, making them widely used in commercial and residential lighting applications. To further enhance their intelligence, the market is gradually introducing direct-emission panel lights that support sensor control. However, existing panel lights have some drawbacks in sensor installation. For example, traditional sensor installation typically requires custom-made, widened aluminum profiles, placing high demands on the profiles and significantly increasing processing costs. Traditional sensors also require drilling into the backplate, diffuser plate, and prism plate, using screws and riveting for fixation, a cumbersome process that affects the overall sealing and optical uniformity of the panel light. Furthermore, these solutions lack compatibility with materials of varying thicknesses, resulting in insufficient assembly flexibility. Therefore, there is room for improvement in existing panel light sensor installation methods. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this disclosure is to provide a mounting component for mounting a panel light sensor, and a panel light having the mounting component.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a sensor mounting component for a sensor panel light, wherein the mounting component is provided with a mounting position for setting a sensor; the front part of the mounting component has a pressing plate extending forward, and the side wall of the rear part of the mounting component is provided with a groove extending along its length direction, the groove having a slot, the slot being formed in the middle of the side wall of the rear part of the mounting component.

[0005] As described above, the sensor mounting component for a sensor panel light has a step on the inner wall of the groove, which forms a first slot and a second slot in the groove, wherein the depth of the first slot is greater than that of the second slot.

[0006] As described above, a sensor mounting component for an induction panel light has a mounting position located at the rear of the mounting component.

[0007] As described above, the sensor mounting component for an induction panel light is made of metal or flame-retardant plastic.

[0009] As described above, a sensor mounting component for an induction panel light has a snap-fit ​​position on the supporting flange.

[0010] As described above, in a sensor mounting component for an induction panel light, the pressing plate is connected to the middle of the side wall at the front of the mounting component, so that the upper and lower ends of the side wall at the front of the mounting component form a stop.

[0011] A direct-emission sensor panel light includes a back plate, an aluminum frame, and a diffuser plate. The back plate and the diffuser plate are mounted on the aluminum frame. The sensor panel light also includes a mounting member as described in any of the preceding claims. A first slot adapted to the mounting member is formed on the diffuser plate. The mounting member is installed in the first slot, and the edge of the first slot is embedded in the groove. A pressing plate is clamped and fixed between the back plate and the aluminum frame. A sensor is installed in the mounting position.

[0012] As described above, a direct-light-emitting sensor panel light further includes a prism plate fixed to the aluminum frame. The prism plate is provided with a second slot that is adapted to the mounting component. The mounting component is also adapted to be installed in the second slot, and the edge of the second slot is embedded in the groove.

[0013] As described above, in a direct-light-emitting sensor panel light, the sensor employs microwave sensing, infrared sensing, or photosensitivity, and the mounting component is fixed to the mounting position by a snap-fit ​​or screw.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this disclosure are as follows: the mounting position of the mounting component is used to set the sensor, and a snap-fit ​​is provided on the plate such as the diffuser plate of the panel light to fit the mounting component. The mounting component is embedded in the mounting snap-fit, and the pressing plate of the mounting component is clamped and fixed by the back plate of the panel light and the aluminum frame. Thus, the sensor is fixed to the panel light by the mounting component.

[0015] This application improves the structural design to facilitate the installation of the sensor, avoiding the need for custom processing of aluminum profiles and opening holes in the back plate, thus simplifying the assembly process and reducing production costs.

[0016] The diffuser plate and prism plate of the panel light use a bayonet-type mounting bracket to ensure a smooth and safe installation of the sensor, maintaining the original appearance design of the panel light and guaranteeing uniform light distribution. The mounting bracket has high structural versatility, and the slot is easy to adapt to different thicknesses of sheet metal for assembly, which helps to improve assembly efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should be understood in their ordinary sense by those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0028] See appendix Figure 1 The image shows a sensor mounting component for a sensor panel light. The mounting component 1 has a mounting position 2 for mounting a sensor 8. The front part 101 of the mounting component 1 has a pressing plate 3 extending forward. The side wall of the rear part 100 of the mounting component 1 has a groove 4 extending along its length direction. The groove 4 is used to cooperate with various plates of the panel light, such as a diffuser plate 7, a prism plate (not shown), etc. The groove 4 has a slot 400, which is formed in the middle of the side wall of the rear part 100 of the mounting component 1, thereby making the groove 4 have an upper top wall, a lower bottom wall, and an inner wall. The slot 400 extends along its circumference at the middle position of the side wall of the rear part 100 of the mounting component 1.

[0029] See appendix Figure 2-4 The mounting component 1 can be made of metal or flame-retardant plastic to meet the heat resistance and strength requirements of different environments. The outline of the pressing plate 3 of the mounting component 1 matches the outline of the panel light to be installed. For example, if the panel light is square, and its back plate 5 and aluminum frame 6 are also square, then the pressing plate 3 of the corresponding mounting component 1 is square. If the panel light is round, and its back plate 5 and aluminum frame 6 are both round, then the pressing plate 3 of the corresponding mounting component 1 is arc-shaped. The pressing plate 3 is placed between the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6, and the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6 are locked together with screws. The pressing plate 3 is then clamped and fixed between the two, thereby fixing the mounting component 1 to the panel light. The sensor 8 is placed on the mounting component 1, so that the panel light can be remotely controlled intelligently.

[0030] Meanwhile, a first notch 701 is provided at the edge of the diffuser plate 7 on the panel light to fit with the mounting component 1. The mounting component 1 is placed in the first notch 701, and a groove 4 is provided at the rear of the mounting component 1 along its circumference. The edge of the first notch 701 enters the groove 400 from the groove and is embedded therein. If the panel light is also equipped with a prism plate, a second notch is provided at the corresponding position to fit with the mounting component 1. The second notch fits with the mounting component 1 to avoid interference. The edge of the second notch also enters the groove 400 from the groove and is embedded therein.

[0031] Therefore, the assembly of sensor 8 and panel light is achieved through mounting component 1, eliminating the need for adjustment and customization of the aluminum frame 6, which helps save production costs. The back plate 5 requires no drilling, simplifying the installation process. The slot 4 facilitates the installation of diffuser plate 7 and prism plate, preventing light from escaping through structural gaps and ensuring the optical uniformity of the panel light, meeting the optical needs of different lighting spaces. Simultaneously, using mounting component 1 as the carrier structure offers high cost-effectiveness and a simple installation method, improving production efficiency. The mounting component is compatible with various types of sensors, including common microwave sensors, infrared sensors, and photosensitive sensors. The sensor can be secured to the mounting position using clips, screws, and other fixing structures, thereby withstanding a certain degree of vibration and external impact, further improving reliability.

[0032] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the groove 4 is provided with a step 403, forming a first slot 401 and a second slot 402 in the groove 4, wherein the depth of the first slot 401 is greater than the depth of the second slot 402. The inner wall of the groove 4 is the wall opposite to the groove opening 400, and this inner wall is in the shape of a step 403, making the upper part of the groove 4 deeper and the lower part shallower, forming the first slot 401 and the second slot 402 respectively, thereby making it suitable for assembling the mounting part 1 with different plates. Generally, panel lights are equipped with a diffuser plate 7. In this case, the diffuser plate 7 can be embedded into the first slot 401 or the second slot 402 according to the specific installation requirements. Generally, the uniform glare value of lamps exported to the European market must be less than 19, so a prism plate and a diffuser plate 7 must be equipped at the same time. At this time, the prism plate and the diffuser plate 7 can be embedded into the first slot 401 and the second slot 402 respectively. The plate in the first slot 401 is held between the upper top wall of the groove 4 and the step 403, while the plate in the second slot 402 is supported by the lower bottom wall of the groove 4. The two plates can be stably installed in the groove 4 to avoid shaking and rubbing against each other.

[0033] The total thickness of the diffuser plate 7 and prism plate is generally 2mm. Therefore, the total height of the groove 4 can be set to 2.2mm. Since the mounting component 1 is clamped and fixed to the aluminum frame 6 via the back plate 5, the diffuser plate 7 and prism plate do not need to be tightly fitted to the groove 4 of the mounting component 1. The height of the groove 4 should be slightly greater than the total thickness of the plates for easier assembly. The first and second slots 402 can accommodate mounting methods for plates of different thicknesses. For example, when only the diffuser plate 7 is installed, it can be inserted into either the first slot 401 or the second slot 402 depending on its thickness. A thinner plate can be inserted into the first slot 401, while a thicker plate can be inserted into the second slot 402.

[0034] In some embodiments, the mounting position 2 is located at the rear of the mounting component 1. The mounting component 1 has a relatively flat structure, and its rear is nested in the slot of the diffuser plate 7 and the prism plate. By setting the mounting position 2 at the rear, the sensor 8 is ensured to be built into the panel light. The front part 101 of the mounting component 1 is clamped and fixed by the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6 through the pressing plate 3. Thus, the entire mounting component 1 is placed inside the panel light, without any protrusion in the structure, and the panel light does not occupy more peripheral space. This helps to maintain the original outline design of the lamp and avoids increasing the size of the lamp.

[0035] Mounting position 2 can be a cavity that runs vertically through the interior, with a supporting flange 201 at the bottom. The sensor 8 is placed into the cavity from top to bottom, and the supporting flange 201 holds the sensor 8 in place, preventing it from detaching. The vertical continuity of the cavity facilitates both the installation of the sensor 8 and its electrical connection with the control components of the panel light. Furthermore, the supporting flange 201 has snap-fit ​​positions, allowing the sensor 8 to engage with these positions, enhancing assembly stability.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pressing plate 3 is connected to the middle of the side wall of the front portion 101 of the mounting member 1, so that the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the front portion 101 of the mounting member 1 form a stop. See Appendix Figure 1 The pressing plate 3 extends horizontally forward from the middle of the side wall of the mounting part 1. Thus, the inner end of the pressing plate 3 connects with the front part 101 side wall of the mounting part 1 in a stepped shape, which is equivalent to the front part 101 of the mounting part 1 forming an upper stop 1011 and a lower stop 1012. When the pressing plate 3 is pressed between the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6, the upper stop 1011 and the lower stop 1012 abut against the inner walls of the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6, which limits the position of the mounting part 1, prevents it from moving, and enhances the stability of the structure.

[0037] See appendix Figure 2-4 A direct-emission sensor panel light is provided, comprising a back plate 5, an aluminum frame 6, and a diffuser plate 7. The back plate 5 and the diffuser plate 7 are mounted on the aluminum frame 6. The sensor panel light also includes a mounting member 1 as described in any of the preceding claims. A first bayonet 701 adapted to the mounting member 1 is formed on the diffuser plate 7. The mounting member 1 is mounted in the first bayonet 701. The edge of the first bayonet 701 is embedded in the groove 4. A pressing plate 3 is clamped and fixed between the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6. A sensor 8 is mounted in the mounting position 2.

[0038] Panel lights are often square or round, and use a back plate 5, an aluminum frame 6, and a diffuser plate 7 of corresponding shapes. The edge of the back plate 5 is locked to the frame edge of the aluminum frame 6 with screws, and the diffuser plate 7 is clamped and fixed by the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6. The edge of the diffuser plate 7 is cut with a first snap 701 that matches the shape of the mounting part 1. The mounting part 1 is assembled into the first snap 701, and the edge of the first snap 701 is embedded into the groove 4. The pressing plate 3 of the mounting part 1 extends forward between the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6 and is clamped and fixed by the two, thereby realizing the installation of the sensor 8.

[0039] In some embodiments, the panel light further includes a prism plate fixed to the aluminum frame 6. The prism plate has a second slot adapted to the mounting member 1, and the mounting member 1 is simultaneously adapted to be installed in the second slot. The edge of the second slot is embedded in the groove 4. Some countries and regions have a standard for a uniform glare value below 19, which requires a prism plate. The prism plate and diffuser plate 7 are stacked, both sandwiched between the back plate 5 and the aluminum frame 6. The prism plate has a second slot adapted to the mounting member 1, the position of which corresponds to the first slot 701. The mounting member 1 is fitted at the positions of the first slot 701 and the second slot, with the edges of both slots embedded in the groove 4. Preferably, the groove 4 has a first slot 401 (deeper at the top) and a second slot 402 (shallower at the bottom). The prism plate can be embedded in the first slot 401, and the diffuser plate 7 in the second slot 402, ensuring the stability of the diffuser plate 7 and the prism plate installation and reducing plate wobbling.

[0040] In summary, the mounting component provided in this application serves as a carrier structure for the sensor. The mounting component is fixed to the panel light by clamping the pressing plate with the back plate and aluminum frame. Fitting slots are formed on the diffuser and prism plates of the panel light, providing space for the mounting component and ensuring that its overall installation does not protrude beyond the original spatial contours of the panel light. No custom processing of the aluminum frame or drilling of the back plate is required, simplifying the assembly process and reducing production costs. The mounting component, through its groove and nested fit with the diffuser and prism plates, is highly adaptable, easily fitting plates of different thicknesses to meet the optical requirements of different lighting spaces. Furthermore, its simple assembly improves production efficiency.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications, combinations, and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
