Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of suspension device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a locking structure and fan light that are easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A ceiling fan light is an appliance that combines the functions of a chandelier and a ceiling fan. In addition to basic functions such as lighting and ventilation, it also serves a decorative purpose, which is why ceiling fan lights are becoming increasingly popular. Current technology typically involves pre-installing a mounting bracket on the ceiling and attaching a hanger to the light fixture, using the hanger to engage with the mounting bracket to secure the ceiling fan light.
[0003] During installation, the hanger is typically connected to the lamp body first, and then snapped into the mounting bracket. To reduce resistance during this process, a rotating and pushing motion is used. Because the lamp body is relatively heavy and bulky, the weight increases further after connecting it to the hanger. Therefore, installation requires not only supporting the lamp body and hanger but also proper alignment, demanding a high level of physical strength and expertise from the installers. Furthermore, if the lamp body has a large diameter, the rotational lever arm increases accordingly, making it highly susceptible to damage to the mounting bracket due to improper force during installation.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an easy-to-install locking structure and a fan light. The easy-to-install locking structure includes a hanger 1, a mounting base 2, a fixing plate 3, and a locking element 5. The hanger 1 is used to connect to the fixing base and has a fixing part 401 that extends radially. The mounting base 2 has a clearance hole 206 adapted to the hanger 1, and the hanger 1 is inserted into the clearance hole 206. The fixing part 401 engages with the mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 also has a first mounting hole. The fixing plate 3 has a second mounting hole adapted to the first mounting hole. The locking element 5 is inserted into the first and second mounting holes and is used to connect the mounting base 2 and the fixing plate 3.
[0039] The easy-to-install locking structure provided by this utility model, compared with the prior art, allows for the following steps: First, connect the hanger 1 to the fixed base. Then, lift the mounting base 2 so that the hanger 1 passes through the clearance hole 206 until the fixing part 401 passes through the mounting hole and engages with the mounting base 2. After connecting the mounting base 2 and the hanger 1, lift the fixing plate 3 below the mounting base 2 and adjust its position so that the first mounting hole aligns with the second mounting hole. Insert the locking member 5 into the first and second mounting holes to connect the fixing plate 3 to the mounting base 2. This utility model uses a step-by-step installation method, eliminating the need to connect the hanger 1, mounting base 2, and fixing plate 3 before connecting them as a whole to the fixed base, reducing the workload during installation. Furthermore, the engagement between the mounting base 2 and the hanger 1, and the connection between the fixing plate 3 and the mounting base 2 via the locking member 5, simplify the installation process and require less expertise from the installers. Moreover, the mounting base 2 is small in size and diameter, so even if the rotation method is used to reduce the clamping resistance during installation, it is not easy for the hanger 1 or the mounting base 2 to be damaged due to excessive lever arm.
[0040] It should be noted that the mounting base is pre-installed on the ceiling, and the hanger 1 is screwed, snapped, or hung to the mounting base.
[0041] Optionally, locking element 5 can be a threaded element or a snap-fit element.
[0042] Optionally, the locking component 5 includes a bolt and a nut adapted to the bolt. After the bolt is inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, the nut is tightened to lock the bolt, thus connecting the mounting base 2 and the fixed plate 3. Alternatively, the bolt can be inserted into the first mounting hole first, then the fixed plate 3 can be connected to the mounting base 2, so that the bolt is inserted into the second mounting hole, and finally the bolt and nut are tightened. This method eliminates the need for alignment and positioning when installing the fixed plate 3, improving installation efficiency.
[0043] Optionally, the locking element 5 is inserted into the first mounting hole and is fixedly or detachably connected to the mounting base 2. When installing the fixing plate 3, there is no need to adjust the position to align the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, which improves the installation efficiency.
[0044] Optionally, a sponge is provided on the top of the mounting base 2. The existing mounting base 2 is lifted upward and pressed against the ceiling. The sponge on the top of the mounting base 2 will elastically deform when compressed, avoiding rigid contact between the mounting base and the ceiling, so as to make the mounting base 2 more stable and reduce the vibration of the whole fan when it is running.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The hanger 1 includes a hanger base 101, a hook block 102, and a first elastic element. The hanger base 101 is used to connect with the fixed base, and a receiving groove is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the hanger base 101. The hook block 102 is slidably inserted into the receiving groove along the radial direction of the hanger base 101, and the hook block 102 is used to engage with the mounting base 2. The first elastic element is connected to the hook block 102 and the hanger base 101 respectively, and the first elastic element is configured with a preload force to keep the hook block 102 and the mounting base 2 engaged.
[0046] In this embodiment, the elastic force of the first elastic element keeps the hook block 102 and the mounting base 2 in a snap-fit state. When the hook block 102 passes through the clearance hole 206, the inner wall of the clearance hole 206 of the mounting base 2 presses against the hook block 102, causing the hook block 102 to slide into the receiving groove against the elastic force of the first elastic element. After the hook block 102 passes out of the clearance groove, the first elastic element resets, causing the hook block 102 to abut against the mounting base 2 in the vertical direction, achieving a snap-fit engagement with the mounting base 2. This solution eliminates the need for external connecting parts 402 to fix the mounting base 2 and the fixing plate 3, simplifying operation and improving installation efficiency.
[0047] Optionally, the first elastic element is a spring.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting base 2 includes a mounting plate 201 and a guide cylinder 202. The mounting plate 201 has a clearance hole 206. The guide cylinder 202 is connected to the mounting plate 201. The guide cylinder 202 and the clearance hole 206 are coaxially arranged, and the inner diameter of the guide cylinder 202 is not less than the diameter of the clearance hole 206.
[0049] During installation, the guide tube 202 can provide guidance for the hanger 1. After the hanger 1 passes through the guide tube 202, the guide tube 202 can also provide protection for it, preventing external forces from damaging the hanger 1.
[0050] Specifically, the fixing part 401 is engaged with the guide cylinder 202 or the mounting base 2. That is, the fixing part 401 can pass through the guide cylinder 202 and abut against the end of the guide cylinder 202, or a clearance hole can be opened on the guide cylinder 202, and the fixing part 401 can be inserted into the clearance hole and abut against the end face of the mounting plate 201.
[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The guide cylinder 202 has a limiting hole 203 adapted to the fixing part 401 along its own radial direction, and the limiting hole 203 is connected to the clearance hole 206, and the fixing part 401 is inserted into the limiting hole 203.
[0052] The fixing part 401 is inserted into the limiting hole 203, so that the fixing part 401 not only abuts against the guide cylinder 202 in the vertical direction, but the guide cylinder 202 can also limit the fixing part 401 in the circumferential direction, which increases the stability and reliability of the mounting base 2 after it is connected to the hanger 1, and prevents the mounting base 2 from moving in the circumferential direction.
[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting base 2 also includes a limiting module connected to the guide cylinder 202. The limiting module includes two limiting pieces 204 distributed circumferentially along the guide cylinder 202. The limiting hole 203 is located between the two limiting pieces 204. The limiting pieces 204 are used to limit the fixing part 401 in the circumferential direction.
[0054] The limiting piece 204 not only limits the mounting base 2 in the circumferential direction, but also increases the contact area with the fixing part 401, reduces the pressure on the fixing part 401, avoids damage to the mounting plate 201 or the fixing part 401 after being subjected to external force, and improves the service life of the component.
[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The easy-to-install locking structure also includes a pre-attached part 4 connected to the mounting base 2. The fixing plate 3 has a mounting hole 301 adapted to the pre-attached part 4, and the pre-attached part 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 301.
[0056] When installing the mounting plate 3 and the mounting base 2, the pre-hanging component 4 is first inserted into the hanging hole 301 to achieve a pre-connection between the mounting plate 3 and the mounting base 2. Then, the locking component 5 is inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The pre-hanging structure of this embodiment avoids the problem of needing to lift the mounting plate 3 when installing the locking component 5, which not only simplifies the installation process and allows for single-person operation, but also increases the firmness of the connection between the mounting plate 3 and the mounting base 2. If the locking component 5 fails, the mounting plate 3 can still be connected to the mounting base 2 through the pre-hanging component 4, improving the overall connection safety.
[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 The pre-attached part 4 includes a fixing part 401, a connecting part 402 and a snap-fit part 403 connected in sequence. The fixing part 401 is connected to the mounting base 2. The snap-fit part 403 has a curved hook that is inserted into the hanging hole 301 and engages with the fixing plate 3.
[0058] After the hook passes through the hanging hole 301, it engages with the fixed plate 3, realizing the pre-installation of the fixed plate 3 and the mounting base 2. The structure is simple and the production cost is low.
[0059] Specifically, the axis of the hook hole 301 is parallel to the vertical direction. When the hook passes through the hook hole 301, it is squeezed. After passing through the hook hole 301 completely, it returns to its original position and abuts against the bottom of the fixed plate 3, thereby fixing the fixed plate 3.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The mounting base 2 is provided with a buckle 205, and the fixing part 401 is engaged with the buckle 205. The buckle 205 and the fixing part 401 are also provided with corresponding fixing holes 4011, and fasteners are inserted into the fixing holes 4011.
[0061] The fixing part 401 is snapped into the buckle 205, and the connection between the fixing part 401 and the mounting base 2 is achieved by inserting a fastener into the corresponding fixing hole 4011. In this embodiment, not only is it possible to eliminate the need for alignment and positioning of the fixing part 401 and the mounting base 2, thus improving the connection efficiency, but the combination of snapping and plugging also enhances the connection's robustness.
[0062] Optional fasteners can be snap-fit or threaded fasteners.
[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The fixed plate 3 has a receiving groove for accommodating the mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 is located in the receiving groove. The hanging hole 301 is radially connected to the receiving groove along the fixed plate 3. The outer peripheral surface of the mounting base 2 has a fixing groove. The pre-hanging component 4 includes a pre-hanging block 404 and a second elastic component. The pre-hanging block 404 is slidably inserted into the fixing groove along the radial direction of the mounting base 2. The pre-hanging block 404 is inserted into the hanging hole 301. The second elastic component is connected to the pre-hanging block 404 and the mounting base 2 respectively. The second elastic component is configured with a pre-tightening force to keep the pre-hanging block 404 and the hanging hole 301 in an inserted state.
[0064] The mounting base 2 is inserted into the receiving groove. The inner wall of the fixing plate 3 presses against the hanging block 102, compressing the second elastic element. After the hanging block 102 aligns with the fixing groove, the second elastic element resets, allowing the hanging block 102 to insert into the fixing groove. Under the action of the second elastic element, the hanging block 102 remains in an inserted state with the hanging hole 301, achieving locking between the fixing plate 3 and the mounting base 2. This embodiment uses an insertion method to achieve pre-installation of the fixing plate 3 and the mounting base 2, which is simple in structure, convenient in operation, and improves installation efficiency.
[0065] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a fan light. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The fan light includes the aforementioned easy-to-install locking structure.
[0066] The fan light provided by this utility model adopts a locking structure that facilitates installation. In use, the hanger 1 is first connected to the mounting base, then the mounting base 2 is lifted so that the hanger 1 passes through the clearance hole 206 until the fixing part 401 passes through the mounting hole and engages with the mounting base 2. After connecting the mounting base 2 and the hanger 1, the fixing plate 3 is lifted below the mounting base 2, and its position is adjusted so that the first mounting hole aligns with the second mounting hole. The locking member 5 is then inserted into the first and second mounting holes to connect the fixing plate 3 to the mounting base 2. This utility model uses a step-by-step installation method, eliminating the need to connect the hanger 1, mounting base 2, and fixing plate 3 before connecting them as a whole to the mounting base, reducing the workload during installation. Furthermore, the mounting base 2 engages with the hanger 1, and the fixing plate 3 is connected to the mounting base 2 via the locking member 5, simplifying the installation process and requiring less expertise from the installer. Moreover, the mounting base 2 is small in size and diameter, so even if the rotation method is used to reduce the clamping resistance during installation, it is not easy for the hanger 1 or the mounting base 2 to be damaged due to excessive lever arm.
[0067] It should be noted that both the fan structure and the lighting structure of the fan light are connected to the fixed plate.
[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
