[0020] To make the objectives and technical solutions of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the downlight of this utility model. Figure 1As shown, the downlight includes a lamp housing 3, internal components (not shown in the figure), at least one spring seat 1, and at least one spring 2 (see figure 2). Figure 5 The internal components are installed inside the lamp housing 3, and the spring seat 1 is disposed on the lamp housing 3. The spring 2 is mounted on the spring seat 1. The lamp housing 3 includes a panel 31 and a sleeve 32, and the panel 31 and the sleeve 32 are axially fixedly connected. The panel 31 is disc-shaped, and the sleeve 32 is cylindrical. At least one spring seat 1 is disposed on the outer wall of the sleeve 32.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the spring seat 1 includes a spring seat body 11, a first mounting groove 12, a first fixing part 13 and a second fixing part 14. The first mounting groove 12 is opened in the center of the spring seat body 11, the first fixing part 13 is disposed at the first end of the spring seat body 11, and the second fixing part 14 is disposed at the second end of the spring seat body 11.
[0023] At least one latch 131 is provided on the side of the first fixing part 13 near the first mounting groove 12. The latch 131 is used to fasten the force-receiving part of the spring 2 to limit the spring 2. The first mounting groove 12 serves a positioning function, allowing the spring 2 (see...) to be positioned horizontally. Figure 4 Limit the position.
[0024] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that two opposing support rods 141 are provided on the side of the second fixing part 14 opposite to the first mounting groove 12, and a second mounting groove 142 is formed at the lower end of the support rods 141. The support rods 141 are used to sleeve the spring 2 and limit the spring 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions. The second mounting groove 142 is used to accommodate the torsion part of the spring 2.
[0025] A positioning block 143 is provided on the side of the second fixing part 14 near the first mounting groove 12, and a guide groove 15 is formed between the positioning block 143 and the buckle 131. The positioning block 143 is a part of the second fixing part 14 that protrudes horizontally along the direction of the first fixing part 13. The positioning block 143 is triangular prism-shaped, and the inclined surface of the positioning block 143 can guide the force-receiving part of the spring 2, so that the force-receiving part of the spring 2 can move in the guide groove 15, ensuring that the spring 2 is accurately installed on the first fixing part 13. The lower end face of the positioning block 143 is lower than the lower end face of the buckle 131, which plays a role in preventing the spring 2 from loosening and falling off after installation.
[0026] Meanwhile, a locking block 144 is provided at the lower end of the positioning block 143. The locking block 144 is a portion of the second fixing part 14 that protrudes horizontally along the direction of the first fixing part 13. The locking block 144 and the positioning block 143 cooperate to limit the force-bearing part of the spring 2. A through hole 145 is provided between the locking block 144 and the positioning block 143 to allow for visual observation of the process of the spring 2 being installed on the first fixing part 13, ensuring the accuracy of the installation of the force-bearing part and the buckle 131. In addition, a reinforcing rib 146 is provided on the side of the second fixing part 14 away from the first mounting groove 12. The reinforcing rib 146 plays a role in fixing the second fixing part 14, improving the strength and load-bearing capacity of the second fixing part 14.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the spring 2 includes a torsion part 21, a clamping part 22, and a force-receiving part 23, which are fixedly connected to the torsion part 21. The spring 2 is integrally formed and has a smooth surface. The torsion part 21 is a torsion spring, which can produce elastic deformation when compressed. A rubber sleeve 24 can be installed at the end of the clamping part 22 to increase the contact area and friction, preventing the spring 2 from loosening when installed with external components. The force-receiving part 23 can be square or other shapes that facilitate installation. The force-receiving part 23 includes a connecting rod 231 and a crossbar 232, with the connecting rod 231 fixedly connected to both sides of the crossbar 232. The connecting rod 231 connects the torsion part 21 and the crossbar 232, and also serves as a guide when the spring 2 is installed on the first fixing part 13. The torsion part 21 provides tension when the clamping part 22 is connected to the external component. Furthermore, the angle between the clamping part 22 and the force-receiving part 23 can be adjusted after the torsion part 21 is subjected to torsional force, making it suitable for various installation scenarios.
[0028] The spring seat 1 disclosed in this utility model provides a variety of spring mounting methods, such as... Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the spring 2 and the second fixing part 14 of the spring seat 1. The two ends of the torsion part 21 of the spring 2 are sleeved on the support rod 141, and the torsion part 21 of the spring 2 is placed in the second mounting groove 142. During installation, external force is required to press the two ends of the torsion part 21 to forcibly press the spring 2 onto the spring seat 1 of the downlight. This assembly method is also applicable to conventional springs in the prior art.
[0029] Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the spring 2 and the first fixing part 13 of the spring seat 1 disclosed in this utility model. During installation, the force-bearing part 23 needs to be inserted into the first mounting groove 142. The inner wall of the spring seat 1 limits the horizontal movement of the connecting rod 231. The crossbar 232, guided by the positioning block 143, passes through the guide groove 15. The installation can be observed through the through hole 145, and the crossbar 232 can be accurately engaged with the buckle 131. After installation, the positioning block 143 and the locking block 144 can also prevent the spring 2 from falling off the first fixing part 13. Compared with forcibly pressing the spring 2 onto the support rod 141, this installation method is more convenient.
[0030] In summary, this utility model provides a spring seat and a downlight. By providing a first fixing part 13 with the buckle 131 and a second fixing part 14 with the support rod 141 on the spring seat 1, two installation methods are provided for the spring 2 with the force-bearing part 23. Specifically, by simply inserting the force-bearing part 23 of the spring 2 into the first mounting groove 12, the force-bearing part 23 can easily engage with the buckle 131 under the guidance of the positioning block 143, which features simple installation, high efficiency, and ease of automated production.
