Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lighting fixtures, and in particular to a novel downlight with arbitrarily adjustable direction. Background Technology

[0002] Downlights are commonly used indoor and outdoor lighting devices, and the flexibility of their illumination angle is crucial. While some existing downlights offer angle adjustment, the process requires first removing the light fixture from the ceiling mounting opening, then adjusting the tilt angle (typically only 30 degrees) using a hinged structure, and finally reinstalling the fixture. This cumbersome and time-consuming process, requiring disassembly and reassembly, is particularly challenging and inefficient for high-altitude installations, failing to meet users' needs for rapid angle adjustments. Furthermore, the limited tilt angle restricts 360-degree directional adjustment, limiting versatility and making it difficult to meet diverse lighting needs in complex environments, such as accurately illuminating slopes or corners. Repeated disassembly and reassembly can also lead to structural loosening, affecting the fixture's lifespan.

[0003] Therefore, how to solve the above problems is a technical issue that the industry urgently needs to address. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of downlight with arbitrary adjustable direction. It aims to achieve a scientific and reasonable structural design. Through the coordinated design of the rotating ball and spring assembly, the light source can be adjusted steplessly at 360 degrees. The structure fits smoothly and without looseness during adjustment. There is no need to disassemble the lamp body structure during operation. The adjustment is convenient and efficient. The light output angle is flexible and diverse. It has strong versatility, wide applicability, and a stable and reliable structure.

[0005] This utility model proposes a novel downlight with arbitrarily adjustable direction, including a mounting ring installed in the mounting opening and a lamp body structure embedded in the mounting ring; the lamp body structure includes a light source structure, a face ring, a spherical pressure ring, and a reflector; the light source structure includes a heat sink, an LED light source structure installed on the heat sink, a lens base surrounding the LED light source structure, a lens covering the LED light source structure and embedded in the lens base, and a spherical rotating sphere surrounding the lens base, the rotating sphere being connected and fixed to the heat sink to assemble the light source structure into a fixed structure; the face ring is sleeved on the outside of the light source structure, the spherical pressure ring has an arc-shaped surface that fits against the rotating sphere, the spherical pressure ring is located inside the face ring and fits against the rotating sphere, the reflector is installed inside the face ring and surrounds the lamp body structure, and the face ring is embedded in the mounting ring.

[0006] Preferably, the ball pressure ring is provided with several spring assemblies that play a buffering role and ensure that the ball pressure ring and the rotating ball remain in contact. The spring assembly includes a spring and a flat-head screw. The upper end of the flat-head screw is a flat head, and the lower end is a screw rod. The screw rod is screwed and fixed on the ball pressure ring. The spring is sleeved outside the screw rod, and the two ends of the spring abut against the flat head and the ball pressure ring.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the rotating sphere is screwed to the radiator via a threaded structure.

[0008] Preferably, the face ring and the mounting ring are assembled using elastic locking feet, achieving a detachable structure. The outer wall of the face ring is provided with several elastic locking feet made of elastic metal, and the elastic locking feet are provided with outwardly protruding corners. The inner wall of the mounting ring is provided with annular bosses that correspond to and fit with the protruding corners of the elastic locking feet and can engage with each other. After passing through the annular bosses, the protruding corners engage and are fixed with the upper end face of the annular bosses. The side of the annular bosses is an inclined surface, that is, the thickness of the annular bosses gradually increases from bottom to top, thereby ensuring that the protruding corners and the upper end face of the annular bosses engage tightly and firmly.

[0009] Preferably, the face ring and the mounting ring are assembled using a ball bearing structure, achieving a detachable structure. The face ring has several ball bearing mounting holes on its side wall, and a ball bearing structure is embedded in each hole. The ball bearing structure includes a cylinder, a return spring, and a ball. The return spring is located at the bottom of the cylinder, and a ball bearing connected to the return spring is engaged at the opening of the cylinder. When the ball bearing is compressed, it is pushed inward and squeezes the return spring. When the external force disappears, the return spring resets and pushes the ball bearing outward to reset. The mounting ring has an annular boss on its inner side wall that corresponds to and fits the ball bearing and can engage with it. After passing through the annular boss, the ball bearing engages and is fixed with the upper end face of the annular boss. The side of the annular boss is an inclined surface, meaning that the thickness of the annular boss gradually increases from bottom to top, thereby ensuring a tight and secure engagement between the ball bearing and the upper end face of the annular boss.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting ring is fixed to the mounting port by screws or spring clips.

[0011] Preferably, the reflector cup and the face ring are assembled and fixed together by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Convenient and Efficient Adjustment: The rotating sphere design eliminates the need to disassemble the lamp body.

[0014] 2. Wide angle adjustment range: Breaking through the limitations of traditional hinged structures, it achieves all-round illumination without dead angles, meets the precise lighting needs of different scenarios, and truly realizes 360-degree full-angle adjustment, making the light output angle flexible and diverse, with strong versatility and wide applicability.

[0015] 3. Stable and reliable structure: The buffering effect of the spring assembly ensures smooth rotation and stable positioning of the rotating ball, preventing angular deviation even after long-term use. The spring force acts as a buffer, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted contact between the ball pressure ring and the rotating ball. Moreover, even after the external force disappears, the spring force keeps the ball pressure ring firmly attached to the surface of the rotating ball, preventing loosening and enhancing the smoothness of adjustment operations and structural stability.

[0016] 4. Secure installation and easy maintenance: The elastic clips or ball bearing structure ensure that the lamp body structure and the mounting ring are tightly locked together and not easy to loosen. At the same time, it supports quick disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for later maintenance or replacement of parts. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0026] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This invention proposes an embodiment of a novel downlight with arbitrarily adjustable direction, comprising a mounting ring 101 installed in the mounting opening and a lamp body structure embedded in the mounting ring 101.

[0028] The lamp body structure includes a light source body structure, a surface ring 102, a spherical pressure ring 103, and a reflector 104.

[0029] The light source structure includes a heat sink 105, an LED light source structure 106 mounted on the heat sink 105, a lens base 107 surrounding the LED light source structure 106, a lens 108 covering the LED light source structure 106 and embedded in the lens base 107, and a spherical rotating sphere 109 surrounding the lens base 107. The rotating sphere 109 is connected and fixed to the heat sink 105, thereby assembling the light source structure into a fixed structure.

[0030] The face ring 102 is fitted outside the light source structure. The spherical pressure ring 103 has an arc-shaped surface 110 that fits with the rotating sphere 109. The spherical pressure ring 103 is located inside the face ring 102 and fits with the rotating sphere 109. The reflector cup 104 is installed inside the face ring 102 and surrounds the lamp body structure. The face ring 102 is embedded in the mounting ring 101.

[0031] During adjustment, a gentle push of the rotating sphere 109 with a finger or tool will cause the entire light source structure to rotate 360 ​​degrees. The LED light source structure 106 inside the light source structure will also rotate 360 ​​degrees. The illumination direction can be adjusted with one hand without disassembling the lamp body structure. The light source structure can be directly rotated by rotating the sphere 109 to adjust any angle. 360-degree full-angle free adjustment is achieved without disassembling the lamp body structure. The operation is simple and convenient, the operation efficiency is significantly improved, the angle adjustment range is wide, and the versatility and applicability of the downlight are significantly improved. The ball-shaped pressure ring 103 is equipped with several spring assemblies that serve as a buffer and ensure that the ball-shaped pressure ring 103 and the rotating ball 109 remain in contact. Each spring assembly includes a spring 111 and a flat-head screw. The upper end of the flat-head screw is a flat head 112, and the lower end is a screw rod 113. The screw rod 113 is screwed and fixed onto the ball-shaped pressure ring 103. The spring 111 is sleeved on the screw rod 113, and its two ends abut against the flat head 112 and the ball-shaped pressure ring 103. When force is applied to the rotating ball 109, causing it to rotate, the force of the spring 111 acts as a buffer, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted contact between the ball-shaped pressure ring 103 and the rotating ball 109. Furthermore, after the external force disappears, the force of the spring 111 keeps the ball-shaped pressure ring 103 in contact with the surface of the rotating ball 109, preventing loosening and enhancing the smoothness of the adjustment operation and the structural stability.

[0032] The above structure features a compact design, convenient operation, and a wide adjustment range. Its scientific and reasonable structural design effectively solves the technical defects of traditional downlights, such as limited adjustment angle and the need for repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0033] The lower end of the rotating ball 109 is screwed to the heat sink 105 via a threaded structure 114. The threaded connection provides a reliable mechanical connection, preventing the rotating ball 109 from accidentally falling off during adjustment.

[0034] The face ring 102 and the mounting ring 101 can be assembled using elastic locking feet 115, achieving a detachable structure. The outer wall of the face ring 102 has several elastic locking feet 115 made of elastic metal, each with an outwardly protruding corner 116. The inner wall of the mounting ring 101 has an annular boss 117 that corresponds to and engages with the protruding corners 116 of the elastic locking feet 115. The protruding corner 116, after passing through the annular boss 117, engages and is fixed with the upper end face of the annular boss 117. The side of the annular boss 117 is inclined, meaning its thickness gradually increases from bottom to top, ensuring a tight and secure engagement between the protruding corner 116 and the upper end face of the annular boss 117. This ensures a tight and secure engagement, preventing loosening after engagement. The engagement structure is sufficient to support the weight of the lamp body structure, preventing it from detaching. If it is indeed necessary to disassemble the lamp body structure for inspection or replacement, a little force is required to pull the lamp body structure off, which balances installation stability and maintenance convenience.

[0035] The face ring 102 and the mounting ring 101 can also be assembled using a ball bearing structure, achieving a detachable structure. The face ring 102 has several ball bearing mounting holes on its side wall, each containing a ball bearing structure. The ball bearing structure includes a cylinder 118, a return spring, and a ball bearing 119. A return spring is located at the bottom of the cylinder 118, and a ball bearing 119, connected to the return spring, is fitted into the opening of the cylinder 118. When pressed, the ball bearing 119 pushes inward and compresses the return spring. When the force disappears, the reset spring resets and pushes the ball 119 outwards to reset. The inner wall of the mounting ring 101 has an annular boss 117 that corresponds to and fits the ball 119, allowing them to engage. After passing through the annular boss 117, the ball 119 engages and is fixed to the upper surface of the annular boss 117. The side of the annular boss 117 is an inclined surface, meaning the thickness of the annular boss 117 gradually increases from bottom to top, ensuring a tight and secure engagement between the ball 119 and the upper surface of the annular boss 117. This ensures a tight and secure engagement and prevents it from easily loosening after engagement. The mounting ring 101 is easy and convenient to install; simply insert it into the mounting opening, and then insert the lamp body structure clip into the mounting ring 101. During the process of pushing the lamp body structure into the mounting ring 101, the ball bearing 119 passes through the annular boss 117 and engages with the upper surface of the annular boss 117 for fixation. The annular boss 117 has an inclined surface, meaning its thickness gradually increases from bottom to top. This ensures a tight engagement and prevents it from easily coming loose. The engagement structure is sufficient to support the weight of the lamp body structure, making it difficult for it to fall off. If it is necessary to disassemble the lamp body structure for inspection or replacement, a little force is required to pull it off, balancing installation stability with ease of maintenance.

[0036] The flexible locking feet 115 and the ball bearing structure provide a detachable connection, ensuring both secure installation and easy maintenance and replacement later. The form of the flexible locking feet 115 or the ball bearing structure can be selected according to actual needs. Both structures include an annular boss 117, making the structural design highly versatile.

[0037] Mounting ring 101 is fixed to the mounting port by screws or spring clips, providing a variety of installation methods to adapt to different scenario requirements.

[0038] The reflector cup 104 and the face ring 102 are assembled and fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly process and facilitates maintenance or replacement.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0040] 1. Convenient and Efficient Adjustment: Thanks to the rotating sphere 109 design, the lamp body structure can be adjusted 360 degrees in any direction simply by pushing the sphere 109 with a finger or tool. This one-handed operation makes adjustment easy and convenient, eliminating the need to disassemble and reassemble the lamp body, significantly improving the user experience. It achieves "push-and-adjust" convenience; actual testing shows that 360-degree adjustment takes only a few seconds, requiring no tools and significantly improving adjustment efficiency.

[0041] 2. Wide angle adjustment range: Breaking through the limitations of traditional hinged structures, it achieves all-round illumination without dead angles, meets the precise lighting needs of different scenarios, and truly realizes 360-degree full-angle adjustment, making the light output angle flexible and diverse, with strong versatility and wide applicability.

[0042] 3. Stable and reliable structure: The buffering effect of the spring assembly ensures smooth rotation and stable positioning of the rotating ball 109, preventing angular deviation during long-term use. The force of the spring 111 acts as a buffer, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted contact between the ball pressure ring 103 and the rotating ball 109. Moreover, even after the external force disappears, the force of the spring 111 keeps the ball pressure ring 103 in contact with the surface of the rotating ball 109, preventing loosening and enhancing the smoothness of adjustment operations and structural stability.

[0043] 4. Secure installation and easy maintenance: The elastic clip 115 or ball bearing structure ensures that the lamp body structure and the mounting ring 101 are tightly engaged and not easy to loosen. At the same time, it supports quick disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for later maintenance or replacement of parts.

[0044] This utility model realizes a new type of downlight with a scientific and reasonable structural design. Through the coordinated design of the rotating ball 109 and the spring assembly, the light source can be adjusted steplessly at 360 degrees. The structure fits smoothly and without looseness during adjustment. There is no need to disassemble the lamp body structure during operation. The adjustment is convenient and efficient. The light output angle is flexible and diverse. It has strong versatility, wide applicability, and a stable and reliable structure.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
