Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light controller technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket for a light controller. Background Technology

[0002] In modern lighting control systems, light controllers play a crucial role. They automatically control the on / off state of lighting equipment based on changes in ambient light, achieving energy conservation and intelligent control. Stable installation of the light controller is a key prerequisite for its normal operation. Traditional installation methods often use simple screw fixing or adhesive bonding. This method is not only cumbersome, requiring specialized tools and installation experience, but also extremely inconvenient for later maintenance or replacement, often consuming significant time and effort, and may even damage the wall or the light controller itself.

[0003] With continuous technological advancements, some mounting brackets for optical controllers have emerged on the market, improving installation to some extent. However, existing mounting brackets still have shortcomings.

[0004] For example, some mounting brackets are not securely fixed and are prone to loosening after being subjected to external vibration or prolonged use, affecting the normal operation of the light controller. Some mounting brackets also lack convenient quick-release structures, making the operation process complicated when the light controller needs to be repaired or replaced, reducing work efficiency. In addition, in terms of the connection between the mounting bracket and the wall, some products have unreasonable connection component designs, resulting in the bracket not fitting tightly to the wall after installation, affecting the overall stability and aesthetics.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a mounting bracket for a light controller. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. The fixing method of the mounting bracket is not stable enough. After being subjected to external vibration or after long-term use, it is easy to loosen, which affects the normal operation of the light controller. Some mounting brackets also lack convenient quick-release structures. When the light controller needs to be repaired or replaced, the operation process is complicated, which reduces work efficiency. In addition, in terms of the connection between the mounting bracket and the wall, the connection components of some products are poorly designed, resulting in the bracket not fitting tightly to the wall after installation, which affects the overall stability and aesthetics.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A mounting bracket for a light controller includes a fixed base. Limiting grooves are formed on both sides of the fixed base, and sliding cavities are formed at the bottom of both limiting grooves. A base connecting structure is also provided inside the fixed base. A quick-release limiting component is provided between the base connecting structure and the fixed base. The base connecting structure is used to insert into the fixed base and is fixed and disassembled by the quick-release limiting component. Two wall connecting components are also provided on the back side of the fixed base, used to connect the entire unit to a wall.

[0009] Limiting plates are installed on both sides of the quick-release connector, and a fixing block is provided at the bottom of each of the two limiting plates;

[0010] The housing is equipped with a limiting block inside, the limiting block has an inclined surface, the limiting block is connected by a connecting rod, the connecting rod is fitted with a compression spring, and the connecting rod is connected to a pull block on the outside of the housing.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base connection structure further includes a rubber fixing pad, which is installed on the inner wall of the quick-release connector. The bottom of the quick-release connector is also provided with a sponge cushioning pad, and the top of the sponge cushioning pad is provided with a foam pad.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the wall connection assembly includes a connecting plate, a rubber pad is installed on the back side of the connecting plate, and two connection holes are provided on both the connecting plate and the rubber pad.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release connecting seat is connected to the two limiting slots of the fixed seat through two limiting plates, and the fixed block is installed in the sliding cavity and cooperates with the limiting block.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the foam pad is equipped with a light controller body, and the rubber fixing pad is used to wrap and fix the light controller body.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In this invention, the quick-release limiting component is designed so that when the fixing block slides into the sliding cavity, the compression spring pushes the limiting block and the fixing block to form a fixed limit. Compared with traditional mounting brackets, this fixing method can effectively resist external vibration and is not easy to loosen even after long-term use. This greatly ensures the stability of the light controller, reduces light controller failures caused by loosening, and ensures the continuous and reliable operation of the lighting control system.

[0017] The quick-release convenience is enhanced by the pull block in the quick-release limit component, which allows the limit block to be released from the fixing block simply by pulling the pull block. The quick-release connector can then be quickly removed from the fixing seat. Compared with the existing brackets that lack a convenient quick-release structure, this greatly simplifies the operation process when repairing or replacing the light controller, significantly improves work efficiency, and saves manpower and time costs.

[0018] The wall connection has been optimized. The wall connection components use connecting plates with rubber pads mounted on the back, and both the connecting plates and rubber pads have connection holes. The rubber pads increase the friction between the bracket and the wall, making the bracket fit more tightly against the wall. This not only improves overall stability but also avoids shaking and noise caused by loose fit. It also provides a certain degree of cushioning and protection. Furthermore, this design makes the installed appearance more aesthetically pleasing and enhances the overall installation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: In traditional optical controller mounting brackets, simple snap-fit ​​or screw fastening methods are often used. These methods are prone to loosening due to continuous vibration and impact when exposed to external forces. This utility model innovatively designs a quick-release limiting component. The principle is that when the fixing block 9 slides into the sliding cavity 3, it first contacts the inclined surface 16 on the limiting block 15. According to mechanical principles, when an object moves on the inclined surface 16, it generates a component force perpendicular to the inclined surface 16. This component force pushes the limiting block 15 and the connected rod 17 backward. During this process, the compression spring 18 is compressed. When the fixing block 9 slides to the back of the limiting block 15... When the pressure on the limiting block 15 is lost, the compression spring 18 will quickly rebound due to its own elastic potential energy, pushing the connecting rod 17 and the limiting block 15 back to their original positions. At this time, the limiting block 15 and the fixing block 9 form a tight engagement. This engagement method can effectively resist external force vibrations in all directions. Because the contact area between the limiting block 15 and the fixing block 9 is large and the engagement is tight, external force vibrations are unlikely to cause relative displacement, thus greatly ensuring the stability of the light controller's operation. After the light controller is stably installed, it can continuously and accurately sense changes in ambient light, control the opening and closing of lighting equipment, reduce signal transmission abnormalities or misoperations caused by loosening, and ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the lighting control system.

[0031] Previously, mounting brackets lacked convenient quick-release structures. When the light controller needed repair or replacement, it often required the removal of multiple screws using screwdrivers or other tools, or complicated procedures, to detach the light controller from the bracket. This was not only time-consuming and laborious, but could also damage the light controller or bracket due to improper operation. The pull block 19 in the quick-release limiting component of this utility model greatly facilitates quick-release operation. The principle is that when the light controller needs to be removed, the operator only needs to pull the pull block 19 by hand. The pull block 19 is connected to the connecting rod 17, and pulling the pull block 19 will drive the connecting rod 17. The movement causes the limiting block 15 to retract synchronously. Since the engagement between the limiting block 15 and the fixed block 9 is maintained by the elastic force of the compression spring 18, when the limiting block 15 retracts, the engagement between it and the fixed block 9 is released. At this time, the quick-release connector 7 can be quickly removed from the fixed seat 1, and the light controller can also be easily removed. This design greatly simplifies the operation process when repairing or replacing the light controller. Maintenance personnel no longer need to spend a lot of time on complicated disassembly work, which significantly improves work efficiency, saves manpower and time costs, and makes the maintenance of the light controller more efficient and convenient.

[0032] Some traditional mounting brackets use poorly designed connecting components when connected to the wall. For example, the connecting plate 4 is rigidly connected directly to the wall, or the friction between the connecting component and the wall is insufficient. This results in the bracket not fitting tightly to the wall after installation, and it is prone to shaking due to slight vibration or external force during daily use. This not only affects the overall stability but also generates noise. The wall connecting component of this utility model uses a connecting plate 4 with a rubber pad 5 installed on the back side, and both the connecting plate 4 and the rubber pad 5 have connecting holes 6. The principle is that the rubber pad 5 has good elasticity and friction. When the bracket passes through... When the connecting hole 6 is fixed to the wall using screws or other connectors, the rubber pad 5 will fit tightly against the wall. The microstructure of the surface of the rubber pad 5 can increase the friction between it and the wall, making the bracket more firmly fixed to the wall. At the same time, the elasticity of the rubber pad 5 can also play a buffering role. When external vibrations are transmitted to the bracket, the rubber pad 5 can absorb some of the vibration energy, reducing the impact of vibration on the bracket and the light controller. In addition, this design makes the fit between the bracket and the wall tighter and flatter. From the appearance, the overall effect after installation is more beautiful, improving the installation quality of the entire lighting control system.

[0033] Work process summary

[0034] Installation process:

[0035] First, the mounting base 1 is installed on the wall using the wall connection assembly. The rubber pad 5 on the back of the connecting plate 4 is then attached to the wall. The connecting plate 4 is then fixed to the wall using screws or other connectors through the connecting holes 6. The increased friction and cushioning effect of the rubber pad 5 ensure that the mounting base 1 is installed firmly and fits tightly.

[0036] Then, connect the base connecting structure to the fixed base 1, and insert the limiting plates 8 on both sides of the quick-release connecting base 7 into the limiting grooves 2 on both sides inside the fixed base 1. At this time, the fixing block 9 at the bottom of the limiting plate 8 slides along the sliding cavity 3 at the bottom of the limiting groove 2. During the sliding process of the fixing block 9, the fixing block 9 presses the inclined surface 16 of the limiting block 15, causing the limiting block 15 and the connecting rod 17 to retract and compress the compression spring 18. When the fixing block 9 slides to the back side of the limiting block 15, the compression spring 18 rebounds, and the limiting block 15 and the fixing block 9 form a fixed limit, completing the connection between the base connecting structure and the fixed base 1.

[0037] Finally, place the light controller body 13 inside the quick-release connector 7. The bottom of the light controller body 13 is placed on the foam pad 12. The foam pad 12 plays a role in buffering and initial fixation. The bottom of the foam pad 12 is also provided with a sponge buffer pad 11 to further improve the buffering and noise reduction effect. The rubber fixing pad 10 on the inner wall of the quick-release connector 7 wraps the light controller body 13 to further fix the light controller and ensure its stable installation.

[0038] Disassembly process:

[0039] When the light controller needs to be repaired or replaced, the operator pulls the pull block 19 located outside the housing 14 in the quick-release limit assembly. The pull block 19 drives the connecting rod 17 to move, causing the limit block 15 to retract and releasing the fixed limit between the limit block 15 and the fixed block 9.

[0040] Subsequently, the quick-release connector 7 is removed from the fixed base 1. Since the quick-release connector 7 is fixed together with the light controller body 13, the light controller is also removed, making it convenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement operations.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
