Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of downlights, and particularly relates to a downlight that can avoid the siphon effect. Background Technique
[0002] With the progress of society, LED downlight lighting has gradually become the mainstream in the field of indoor lighting. At present, all LED downlights are required to have good waterproof functions, and the front face waterproof requirement meets the IP65 level.
[0003] However, in the actual application process, due to the need for waterproofing, the lamp body has a sealed cavity. Then, the heat generated when the lamp beads are lit will cause the air in the lamp body to expand, resulting in the air inside the lamp body being discharged from the weak points, such as the gaps between wires, etc.; when the lamp beads are extinguished or encounter water, the temperature inside the lamp body decreases, the air contracts, resulting in a negative pressure inside the lamp body, and the air intake speed between the wires is slow, so water will enter the lamp body from other weak points, such as the connection between the lens and the radiator, etc., forming a siphon effect, reducing the waterproof effect of the downlight and posing a safety risk. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a downlight that can avoid the siphon effect to solve the problems raised in the above background technique. A downlight that can avoid the siphon effect provided by the utility model has the characteristics of quickly balancing the pressure difference inside and outside the lamp body, avoiding the siphon effect problem, enhancing the waterproof effect, and avoiding affecting the safety of users.

The two connecting arms are respectively provided with slots with opposite opening directions, and the mounting bracket is provided with a locking block corresponding to the slot.
[0009] In order to enable the assembly of the inner ring and the outer ring, and to allow the inner ring to be assembled and disassembled together with the outer ring, the ring further includes an inner ring with symmetrical inserts on its circumference and slots corresponding to the inserts on the connecting arm.
[0010] In order to enable the inner ring to rotate together with the heat sink, both the slot and the plug are arc-shaped, and the arc length of the plug is less than the arc length of the slot.
[0011] To further enable adjustment of the overall lamp color temperature, a DIP switch is also installed inside the heat sink housing.
[0012] To further ensure a waterproof seal between the DIP switch and the lens, a silicone sleeve is fitted over the DIP switch.

[0053] In summary, the power supply is achieved by the wire 33 passing through the silicone sleeve 31. The silicone sleeve 31 connects the internal cavity of the lamp body 3 with the internal cavity of the driver 1, quickly balancing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lamp body, avoiding the siphon effect, enhancing the waterproof effect of the entire lamp front, and preventing any impact on user safety. The two ends of the mounting bracket 310 are connected to the two sides of the heat sink 32 by screws, allowing the heat sink 32 to rotate and thus adjust the illumination direction.
