Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to an embedded lighting conversion installation kit and a lighting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In modern home decoration, various types of light fixtures are frequently encountered to meet lighting and decorative needs, including recessed lights and pendant lights. In some cases, it may be necessary to convert recessed lights into pendant lights or other suspended devices, such as ceiling-mounted devices like fans and air purifiers. However, due to the structural differences between the two, it requires a complete overhaul of the ceiling light installation method, such as significant modifications to existing electrical wiring or structures, resulting in high costs. Therefore, if an installation kit could be provided to convert recessed lights into pendant devices, it would significantly reduce costs and offer a new possibility for future reinstallation.

[0003] Existing patent documents, such as Chinese patent document with publication number CN219874377U, describe a multi-functional connection device suitable for threaded lamp holders. It is mainly aimed at replacing excess threaded lamp holders with various functional power modules, such as Bluetooth speakers and projection devices, to achieve multiple functional applications in various scenarios while meeting the requirements of lighting brightness.

[0004] There are also two other patent documents: ① Chinese patent document CN208779288U, which describes a luminaire that can be flexibly converted between recessed and pendant mounting; ② Chinese patent document CN202382193U, which describes an LED luminaire conversion socket. Essentially, these patent documents are all devices that allow a ceiling to be converted from a pendant-mounted luminaire to a recessed luminaire; they do not address kits for converting recessed luminaires to pendant luminaires or other suspended devices.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, the applicant recently applied for and obtained patent publication number CN221975124U for an installation kit for converting an embedded lighting fixture into a suspended device. The kit includes a screw connector, a telescopic component, a clamping plate, an elastic clip, screws, and a base plate. The elastic clip passes through the hole and is positioned outwards. By adjusting multiple screws, the distance between the clamping plate and the base plate is adjusted, thereby regulating the outward opening of the elastic clip. When the elastic clip is pressed into the embedded lamp holder, it springs outwards and tightly engages with the inner wall of the lamp holder. This allows for a simple and quick conversion of the embedded lighting fixture into a pendant lighting fixture or other suspended device.

[0006] In actual use, it was found that the mounting kit has the problem of inconvenience in operation. It requires adjusting multiple first screws to adjust the height of the substrate. It is impossible to accurately control the rotation of multiple first screws to be completely consistent, and thus it is impossible to accurately control the substrate to move downward in a horizontal state. This causes the overall axis of the mounting kit to be offset relative to the vertical direction, and it cannot be installed in the recessed lamp holder perfectly. Utility Model Content

[0007] Therefore, there is a need to provide an embedded lighting fixture conversion installation kit to solve the problem that existing installation kits require adjusting multiple first screws separately to adjust the height of the substrate, which makes it impossible to precisely control the rotation of multiple first screws to be completely consistent. Consequently, it is impossible to precisely control the substrate to move downward in a horizontal state, resulting in the overall offset of the installation kit relative to the vertical axis, and thus the inability to install it seamlessly into the recessed lighting fixture's socket.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an embedded lighting fixture conversion and installation kit, including a pressure plate, studs, spring clips, a base plate, and a base; the bottom end of the stud is rotatably sleeved on the base plate, and the upper part of the stud passes through the axis of the pressure plate and is threadedly connected to the pressure plate; there are at least three spring clips, which are centrally symmetrical about the studs, and the bottom end of each spring clip is fixedly connected to the base plate and located inside the vertical projection plane of the pressure plate; by rotating the studs, the pressure plate is moved downwards, causing the upper part of the spring clips to open outwards;

[0009] The base is located below the substrate and the two are fixedly connected, and it is used to fix the power module.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a handle, which is located directly below the substrate and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stud.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of snap-fit ​​plates, which are disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate, and the opposite surfaces of the pair of snap-fit ​​plates are respectively provided with collinear shaft holes.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a threaded joint and a telescopic structure. The telescopic structure is disposed on the top surface of the pressure plate. The telescopic structure includes multiple telescopic sleeves. Two adjacent telescopic sleeves are sleeved together and have a fixing component at their ends. The fixing component is used to limit the maximum distance of mutual sliding between the two telescopic sleeves.

[0013] Furthermore, the spring is located on the outside of the pressure plate; or

[0014] The pressure plate has an opening for the spring to pass through, and the spring tilts outward from bottom to top after passing through the opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the spring is elongated.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the spring sheet is provided with a friction-enhancing portion.

[0017] Furthermore, the base has a hollow structure, and the hollow part is used to embed and fix the power module.

[0018] The present invention also provides a lamp, the lamp including an embedded lamp conversion installation kit as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0019] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution uses a rotatable but non-movable stud at the center of the substrate. The upper part of the stud is threaded to the pressure plate. At least three spring pieces are symmetrically arranged on the substrate around the stud. By rotating the stud, the pressure plate moves downward, pushing the upper part of the spring pieces outward so that they abut against the inside of the lamp tube. This fixes the entire mounting kit inside the lamp tube without requiring the removal and modification of the recessed lamp tube, saving costs. Furthermore, adjusting the pressure plate is simple; multiple spring pieces can be opened simultaneously by simply rotating the stud, ensuring the safety and stability of the suspended electrical device.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides an embedded lighting fixture conversion and installation kit, including a pressure plate 10, a stud 20, a spring clip 30, a base plate 40, and a base 50. The bottom end of the stud 20 is rotatably sleeved on the base plate 40. The center of the base plate 40 may have a through hole for the bottom end of the stud 20 to pass through, or a rotatable structure fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stud 20. The bottom end of the stud 20 can be a conventional slotted, Phillips, or hexagonal nut, which can be rotated by hand or with a screwdriver or other matching tools. When the stud 20 rotates relative to the base plate 40, the relative height between the two does not change. The upper part of the stud 20 passes through the axis of the pressure plate 10 and is threadedly connected to the pressure plate 10. Since the stud 20 does not move up and down relative to the base plate 40 when rotating, rotating the stud 20 with the base plate 40 as a reference will cause the pressure plate 10 to move closer to or away from the base plate 40. Since the spring tabs 30 need to be pressed against the inner wall of the lamp tube 91 of the recessed lamp, at least three spring tabs 30 are used to ensure that the kit can be stably fixed inside the lamp tube 91. The multiple spring tabs 30 are centrally symmetrical about the stud 20. The bottom end of the spring tab 30 is fixedly connected to the base plate 40 and located inside the vertical projection plane of the pressure plate 10. By rotating the stud 20, the pressure plate 10 is moved downward, causing the upper part of the spring tab 30 to open outward. The multiple spring tabs 30 form the same opening angle relative to the base plate 40, thereby enabling the entire mounting kit to form a stable and effective interaction force with the lamp tube 91 and ensuring that the overall axis of the mounting kit does not tilt.

[0040] The base 50 is disposed below the substrate 40 and the two are fixedly connected. There is a certain gap between the base 50 and the substrate 40. The base 50 and the substrate 40 are fixedly connected by a structural component 90. The base 50 is used to fix the power module 92. The fixing method between the base 50 and the power module can be a detachable fixing connection, such as a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection. Alternatively, a quick-release structure can be provided. The quick-release structure can refer to existing technology. For example, the base 50 can be set as a hollow structure, with the hollow part used to fix the power module. Specifically, two symmetrical slots can be set inside the base 50. The base 50 is provided with conductive contacts for connecting to the power interface of the power module. The power module is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure that matches the slots of the base 50. The power interface of the power module is connected to the base 50 through the conductive contacts. The power module is inserted into the slot of the base 50 through the snap-fit ​​structure to achieve quick fixing. When disassembling, the power module can be removed from the base 50 simply by gently pressing the snap-fit. In another embodiment, the power module 92 can be electrically connected to the screw connector 93 of the lamp holder 91 via a wire. It should be noted that the power module can be a conventional light bulb, or it can be a speaker, LED light, fan, air purifier, etc.

[0041] The installation process of this new type is as follows: First, rotate the stud 20 to move the pressure plate 10 downward, causing the spring piece 30 to open close to the inner wall of the lamp tube 91. Push the kit upward into the lamp tube 91 until it reaches the assembly position. Continue to rotate the stud 20 in the same direction, causing the pressure plate 10 to move further downward and the spring piece 30 to open further until it abuts against the inner wall of the lamp tube 91. Since the spring piece 30 is inclined outward from bottom to top, and the pressure plate 10 can continuously apply an outward force to the spring piece 30 under the action of the stud 20, the spring piece 30 can maintain the force on the inner wall of the lamp tube 91, thereby enabling the mounting kit to be securely connected to the lamp tube 91. It should be noted that the electrical connection between the mounting kit and the screw connector 93 inside the lamp tube 91 can be completed before or during the installation of the mounting kit. Finally, connect the power module to the screw connector 93 and install it into the base 50 to complete the conversion installation.

[0042] This invention features a rotatable but non-movable stud 20 at the center of a substrate 40. The upper part of the stud 20 is threadedly connected to a pressure plate 10. At least three spring pieces 30 are symmetrically arranged on the substrate 40 around the stud 20. By rotating the stud 20, the pressure plate 10 is moved downward, pushing the upper part of the spring pieces 30 outward so that the spring pieces 30 abut against the inside of the lamp tube 91. This fixes the entire mounting kit inside the lamp tube 91 without requiring the removal and modification of the lamp tube 91 of the recessed lamp, saving costs. Furthermore, the operation of adjusting the pressure plate 10 is simple; multiple spring pieces 30 can be opened synchronously simply by rotating the stud 20, ensuring the safety and stability of the suspended electrical device.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes a handle 60, which is located directly below the base plate 40 and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stud 20. The handle 60 has a strip-shaped structure and can be rotated by pressing both sides of the handle 60 with the thumb and forefinger, facilitating control of the rotation of the stud 20 and improving installation efficiency. It should be noted that the gap between the base 50 and the base plate 40 should be greater than the vertical height of the handle 60 to prevent the handle 60 from pressing against the base 50 or occupying the fixing space between the power module and the base 50.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of snap-fit ​​plates 70, which are disposed on the bottom surface of the base plate 40. The opposing surfaces of the pair of snap-fit ​​plates 70 are respectively provided with collinear shaft holes 71. The snap-fit ​​plates 70 are vertically arranged, and a corresponding snap-fit ​​structure can be provided on the top of the power module. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a pair of convex shafts. By snapping the snap-fit ​​mechanism of the power module with the snap-fit ​​plate 70, the pair of convex shafts are respectively snapped into the shaft holes 71, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the power module and the base 50. Furthermore, the power module can be rotated at a certain angle, improving its stability and practicality.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a threaded connector 81 and a telescopic structure 82. The telescopic structure 82 is disposed on the top surface of the pressure plate 10. The telescopic structure 82 includes multiple telescopic sleeves, with adjacent telescopic sleeves interlocked and fixed at their ends. The fixed components limit the maximum distance of sliding between the two telescopic sleeves. The telescopic structure can be multiple sections of tubing connected together by threads or plugs, and its length can be adjusted by rotation or stretching, such as telescopic canes and telescopic lamp posts. The telescopic sleeves and the fixed components can be referenced in the applicant's previously granted patent, publication number CN217928515U, on a multi-level adjustable telescopic lamp, which will not be described in detail here. This embodiment allows the lamp to achieve a certain range of adjustable length, enabling it to be used with various specifications of lamp tubes 91, thus improving practicality and convenience.

[0046] Furthermore, the spring piece 30 is located outside the pressure plate 10. During downward movement, the pressure plate 10 can contact the spring piece 30 and push it to tilt outward, thus creating an opening effect with multiple spring pieces 30. Alternatively, the pressure plate 10 has an opening 84 for the spring piece 30 to pass through. After passing through the opening 84, the spring piece 30 tilts outward from bottom to top. The opening 84 restricts the spring piece 30 from retracting into the base plate 40 when no force is applied, facilitating packaging and storage without affecting its opening.

[0047] Furthermore, the elastic clip 30 is elongated. This allows the elastic clip to open outward more significantly when adjusting the distance between the clamping plate and the base plate 40, enabling the mounting kit to be secured inside the lamp holder 91 more quickly.

[0048] Furthermore, the top of the spring piece 30 is provided with a friction-enhancing part 83. This friction-enhancing part is used to increase the friction between the spring piece 30 and the lamp tube 91. It is made of a material that can increase friction, such as a rubber sleeve, or the top of the spring piece 30 can be directly made of rubber material. This increases the fixing stability of the mounting kit.

[0049] The present invention also provides a lamp fixture, the lamp fixture including an embedded lamp fixture conversion installation kit as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0050] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
