Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0041] Example 1

[0042] See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a lighting control device installed inside a lamp, including a drive housing 1, a communication housing 2, and a fixing member 14.

[0043] The drive housing 1 houses a drive module (i.e., MCU and AC / DC modules, etc.); the drive housing 1 has a first electrical connector, which is electrically connected to the drive module. The communication housing 2 houses a communication module (neither the drive module nor the communication module is shown in the attached drawings); the communication housing 2 has a second electrical connector, which is electrically connected to the communication module. One of the first and second electrical connectors is a plug-in terminal, and the other is a plug-in port 3. The plug-in terminal and the plug-in port 3 are detachably connected for easy disassembly.

[0044] The fixing member 14 is connected to the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 respectively, and at least one of the connections between the fixing member 14 and the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 is detachable. The fixing member 14 is provided so that after the plug-in port 3 and the plug-in terminal are plugged in and fixed, the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 remain relatively fixed, so that the plug-in port 3 and the plug-in terminal will not loosen during subsequent use.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing member 14 includes a first cantilever 4, and the free end of the first cantilever 4 is provided with a first hook 6. The drive housing 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​groove 7 corresponding to the first cantilever 4, and the first snap-fit ​​groove 7 communicates with the interior of the drive housing 1. The first cantilever 4 passes through the first snap-fit ​​groove 7, and the first hook 6 is located inside the drive housing 1 and hooks onto the inner wall of the drive housing 1, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the fixing member 14 and the drive housing 1. The fixed end of the first cantilever 4 is integrally formed on the communication housing 2, that is, the fixing member 14 and the communication housing 2 are integrally formed. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing member 14 can be fixedly installed on the communication housing 2 by means of adhesive bonding or welding, or it can be installed on the communication housing 2 by means of threaded fasteners; or the fixing member 14 can be detachably connected to the communication housing 2 by a snap-fit ​​structure, and fixedly connected to the drive housing 1 by means of adhesive bonding, or the fixing member 14 can be connected to both the communication housing 2 and the drive housing 1 by a snap-fit ​​structure, etc.

[0046] Preferably, the lighting control device of this embodiment includes at least one set of first cantilever arms 4, and each set of first cantilever arms 4 includes two first cantilever arms 4; the first hook portions 6 on the two first cantilever arms 4 in the same set are arranged facing each other or back to back; wherein, facing each other means that the first hook portion 6 on the first cantilever arm 4 is located on the side of the first cantilever arm 4 facing the other first cantilever arm 4 in the same set, and back to back means that the first hook portion 6 on the first cantilever arm 4 is located on the side of the first cantilever arm 4 facing away from the other first cantilever arm 4 in the same set (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown).

[0047] In this embodiment, the plug-in port 3 is located on the drive housing 1, and the plug-in terminal is located on the communication housing 2. The plug-in port 3 on the drive housing 1 protrudes from the outer surface of the drive housing 1. To balance the height of the plug-in port 3 protruding from the outer surface of the drive housing 1, a leveling member 5 can be further protruded on the communication housing 2, and the leveling member 5 abuts against the drive housing 1. The height of the leveling member 5 protruding from the outer surface of the communication housing 2 can be set according to the height of the plug-in port 3 protruding from the outer surface of the drive housing 1. After the communication housing 2 is installed on the drive housing 1 by the fixing member 14, the leveling member 5 and the plug-in port 3 are both located between the communication housing 2 and the drive housing 1, and the leveling member 5 and the plug-in port 3 can be located at both ends of the communication housing 2. The main function of the leveling member 5 is to ensure that the two ends of the communication housing 2 are kept at the same height after the communication housing 2 is installed on the drive housing 1, thereby facilitating the snap-fit ​​installation of the snap-fit ​​structure and preventing it from shaking after snapping. Specifically, the leveling component 5 is configured such that after the communication housing 2 is installed on the drive housing 1, the outer surface of the drive housing 1 facing the communication housing 2 is parallel to the outer surface of the communication housing 2 facing the drive housing 1.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, other structures may also be adopted—in the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2, the housing with the plug-in port 3 is the first housing, and the housing with the plug-in terminal is the second housing. The plug-in port 3 protrudes from the first housing, and the second housing and / or the first housing is provided with a leveling member 5 to match the height of the plug-in port 3 protruding from the first housing so that the outer surface of the first housing facing the second housing is parallel to the outer surface of the second housing facing the first housing.

[0049] The lighting control device provided in this embodiment has a fixing member 14 fixedly connected to the communication housing 2 and connected to the drive housing 1 through a snap-fit ​​structure. This allows the communication housing 2 and the drive housing 1 to maintain a fixed relative position after the plug-in terminal and the plug-in port 3 are plugged in. This prevents the communication housing 2 from shaking relative to the drive housing 1, which could cause the plug-in terminal to loosen or come out of the plug-in port 3 and thus fail. The snap-fit ​​structure also makes installation more convenient and quick.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] See Figures 5 to 8 This embodiment provides a lighting control device installed inside a lamp fixture, based on Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the fixing member 14 is connected to both the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0052] The fixing member 14 is provided with two first cantilever arms 4, and the free end of each first cantilever arm 4 is provided with a first hook 6. The drive housing 1 is provided with two first latching slots 7, which correspond to the two first cantilever arms 4 respectively. The first cantilever arm 4 passes through the corresponding first latching slot 7, and the first hook 6 is located inside the drive housing 1 and hooks onto the inner wall of the drive housing 1.

[0053] The fastener 14 has a second latching part, and the communication housing 2 has a second mating part corresponding to the second latching part. The second latching part and the second mating part are connected in the form of a latching structure. Specifically, the second mating part is a second limiting surface 13 provided on the communication housing 2, and the second limiting surface 13 is arranged in a direction away from the drive housing 1. The second latching part includes a second cantilever 8, and the free end of the second cantilever 8 is provided with a second hook 9, which hooks onto the second limiting surface 13.

[0054] For ease of description, the outer surface of the drive housing 1 facing the communication housing 2 is referred to as the upper surface of the drive housing 1, and the outer surface of the communication housing 2 facing the drive housing 1 is referred to as the lower surface of the communication housing 2.

[0055] The fixing member 14 is provided with a drive limiting surface and a communication limiting surface. The drive limiting surface abuts against the upper surface of the drive housing 1, and can cooperate with the first hook 6 to hook onto the inner wall of the drive housing 1, making the snap-fit ​​connection between the fixing member 14 and the drive housing 1 more secure. The communication limiting surface abuts against the lower surface of the drive limiting surface, and can cooperate with the second hook 9 to hook onto the second limiting surface 13, making the snap-fit ​​connection between the fixing member 14 and the communication housing 2 more secure.

[0056] Furthermore, the fixing member 14 also includes an intermediate plate 10 and two side plates 11. One side surface of the intermediate plate 10 is a communication limiting surface, which abuts against the lower surface of the communication housing 2. The other side surface is provided with the aforementioned two first cantilever arms 4, which are located at both ends of the intermediate plate 10. There is a gap between the intermediate plate 10 and the upper surface of the drive housing 1. The two side plates 11 are located at both ends of the intermediate plate 10, and the two ends of the intermediate plate 10 are respectively connected to the side plates 11 through transition plates 12. One side surface of the side plate 11 is a drive limiting surface, which abuts against the upper surface of the drive housing 1. There is a gap between the side plate 11 and the lower surface of the communication housing 2. One end of the side plate 11 is connected to the transition plate 12, and the other end is connected to the fixed end of the second cantilever arm 8. The middle plate 10 and the side plate 11 achieve a height difference (i.e., a positional difference in the direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the drive housing 1) through the transition plate 12. This height difference can also serve as the leveling component 5 mentioned above, and can also facilitate the engagement action of the fastener 14 with the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 in the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0057] Preferably, the entire fastener 14 can be made as a single piece. The height difference between the middle plate 10 and the side plates 11, achieved through the transition plate 12, also allows the entire fastener 14 to be an irregularly shaped part, resulting in stronger structural strength.

[0058] The lighting control device provided in this embodiment has a fastener 14 connected to the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2 via a snap-fit ​​structure. This structure does not require screws or other components; it only requires pressing and snapping, making installation convenient.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] See Figures 9 to 12 This embodiment provides a lighting control device installed inside a lamp based on Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, the fixing member 14 is connected to the drive housing 1 by a threaded fastener, and the fixing member 14 is connected to the communication housing 2 by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0061] One side surface of the middle part of the fastener 14 is in close contact with the upper surface of the drive housing 1, and the fastener 14 and the drive housing 1 are fixedly connected by a threaded fastener; wherein the threaded fastener can be a bolt 16 or the like. The two ends of the fastener 14 are bent and extend away from the drive housing 1, so that the two ends of the fastener 14 are located on both sides of the communication housing 2.

[0062] The fixing member 14 is provided with a second latching part, and the communication housing 2 is provided with a second mating part corresponding to the second latching part. The second latching part and the second mating part are connected in the form of a latching structure. Specifically, the second mating part is a second limiting surface 13 provided on the communication housing 2, and the second limiting surface 13 is arranged in a direction away from the driving housing 1. The second latching part is provided in the part of the fixing member 14 located on the side of the communication housing 2, and the parts of the fixing member 14 located on both sides of the communication housing 2 are respectively provided with the second latching part. The second latching part includes a third cantilever 15, which is inclined in a direction perpendicular to the second limiting surface 13, and the free end of the third cantilever 15 abuts against the second limiting surface 13.

[0063] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, during installation, the fastener 14 is installed on the drive housing 1 using threaded fasteners. Then, the part of the communication housing 2 with the second mating part is aligned with the corresponding second snap-fit ​​part on the fastener 14. Then, the communication housing 2 is pressed against the drive housing 1. During this process, the two side walls of the communication housing 2 first abut against the third cantilever 15. The third cantilever 15 can elastically deform in the direction away from the side walls of the communication housing 2. When the communication housing 2 is pressed down into place, the third cantilever 15 can just spring back, so that the free end of the third cantilever 15 abuts against the second limiting surface 13 on the communication housing 2, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the fastener 14 and the communication housing 2.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] See Figures 13 to 15This embodiment provides a lighting control device installed inside a lamp based on Embodiment 3. In this embodiment, the plug-in port 3 does not protrude from the outer surface of the first housing. Therefore, unlike Embodiment 3, this embodiment does not provide a leveling member 5. Instead, a relief groove 17 for accommodating the fixing member 14 is provided on the communication housing 2, so that the communication housing 2 can be fitted onto the drive housing 1, and thus both ends of the communication housing 2 can be kept at the same height after being installed on the drive housing 1.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, other structures may also be adopted—in the drive housing 1 and the communication housing 2, the housing with the plug-in port 3 is the first housing, and the housing with the plug-in terminal is the second housing. The plug-in port 3 does not protrude from the outer surface of the first housing. The second housing or / and the first housing are provided with a relief groove 17 for accommodating the fixing member 14 so that the opposing outer surfaces of the first housing and the second housing fit together.

[0067] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
