Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to an emergency kit for lighting and a lighting fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Lighting fixtures, such as tri-proof lights and ceiling lights, are generally equipped with an emergency kit module for automatic activation in case of power outages or other emergencies. The emergency kit module typically includes a battery and an emergency box with built-in control circuitry. The battery can be installed in the emergency box or be separate from it. However, since different types of lamps have different shapes and structures, the emergency kits configured for each type of lamp are also different. For example, tri-proof lamps are basically long strip lamps, and the battery part and emergency box of their emergency kit module are basically arranged in a "straight line" along the length of the tri-proof lamp. Ceiling lamps are basically round, and the battery part and emergency box (or the emergency kit as a whole) of the emergency kit module are arranged in an arc shape that matches the outer shell of the ceiling lamp. For example, the installation and arrangement structure of the above-mentioned emergency kit module is disclosed in Chinese invention patent application CN119196632A, "An Integrated Emergency Power Supply Module and Ceiling Lamp" and Chinese utility model patent application CN216819436 U, "An Emergency Power Supply for Strip Lamp".
[0003] Existing emergency kit modules for lighting fixtures have significant shortcomings: First, poor adaptability. Emergency modules require customized structures based on the shape of the lighting fixture; for example, linear lights use a straight layout, while ceiling lights have an arc-shaped design, making the modules incompatible across products. Different lighting fixtures require independently developed matching emergency kit modules, greatly increasing R&D investment and maintenance costs. Second, high production costs. Customized designs require the development of dedicated molds and production lines for each type of lighting fixture, resulting in large mold investments and a fragmented production process with low economies of scale. In particular, when lighting fixtures are upgraded, existing emergency modules cannot be reused due to structural limitations, leading to material waste and environmental hazards. All these factors combined drive up the overall costs for enterprises. Utility Model Content
[0004] The first technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide an emergency kit for lighting fixtures that can better adapt to different types of lighting fixtures and effectively reduce production costs, in light of the current state of the technology.
[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lamp that incorporates the aforementioned emergency kit, in light of the current state of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem is: an emergency kit for lighting fixtures, comprising:
[0007] The battery section includes the battery compartment and the emergency battery located inside the battery compartment;
[0008] An emergency box, including a box body and an emergency circuit board housed inside the box body;
[0009] At least one of the battery section and the emergency box is elongated. The battery section and the emergency box are arranged in a first arrangement in series in a first direction and in a second arrangement in parallel in a second direction. The length direction of the battery section or the emergency box is consistent with the first direction, and the second direction is arranged at an angle to the first direction, with the angle between them being less than 180°. The battery section includes a first plug-in terminal electrically connected to the emergency battery, and the emergency box includes an emergency plug-in terminal electrically connected to the emergency circuit board. In both the first and second arrangement states, the first plug-in terminal and the emergency plug-in terminal are connected in a pluggable manner.
[0010] The “arranged in series” in the above-mentioned “arranged in parallel” is exactly the opposite of the “arranged in parallel” mentioned above. It can be understood as: the battery and emergency box are arranged in a chain-like linear arrangement along the same direction, which is suitable for situations where the horizontal space is limited, such as linear tri-proof lamps.
[0011] The phrase "arranged side by side in the second direction" can be understood as follows: the battery section and the emergency box are arranged in parallel, expanding laterally in space and occupying more width. This is suitable for situations where space is limited in one direction, such as ceiling light fixtures.
[0012] The emergency box may have one or at least two emergency connectors. When the emergency box has only one emergency connector, the battery section and the emergency box in both the first and second arrangement states are connected through the same set of first connectors and emergency connectors. In this case, the battery connector harness of the battery section can be set to be slightly longer to meet the winding needs of different arrangement states. In order to minimize the winding situation, in an optional embodiment, the emergency connector of the emergency box includes a second connector and a third connector. The second connector and the third connector are connected to the circuit of the emergency circuit board in parallel. The box body includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall arranged at an angle, the angle between the first sidewall and the second sidewall is less than 180°. The first sidewall is provided with a first connector opposite to the second connector, and the second sidewall is provided with a second connector opposite to the third connector. In the first arrangement state, the first connector is inserted into the first connector and connected to the second connector. In the second arrangement state, the first connector is inserted into the second connector and connected to the third connector.
[0013] The “arrangement at an angle” in the above-mentioned “first sidewall and second sidewall arranged at an angle” is not limited to the first sidewall and the second sidewall being directly connected to form a certain angle. It only requires that the extension surface of the first sidewall and the extension surface of the second sidewall intersect in space to form a certain angle.
[0014] In an optional configuration, the corresponding wall of the battery compartment may have only one opening for the first connector terminal to pass through. In this case, in both the first and second arrangement states, the first connector terminal can be connected to different emergency connector terminals of the emergency box through this opening. However, considering that in some cases, the first connector terminal needs to be wound before it can be connected to the emergency connector terminal of the emergency box in one of the arrangement states, resulting in more exposed wires and affecting aesthetics, in a preferred configuration, the battery compartment has a third side wall and a fourth side wall arranged at an angle, with the angle between the third and fourth side walls being less than 180°. The third side wall has a first opening, and the fourth side wall has a second opening. In the first arrangement state, the first connector terminal passes through the first opening and connects to the second connector terminal. In the second arrangement state, the first connector terminal passes through the second opening and connects to the third connector terminal.
[0015] The “arrangement at an angle” in the above-mentioned “third and fourth side walls arranged at an angle” does not require that the first and second side walls be directly connected to form a certain angle. It only requires that the extension surface of the first side wall and the extension surface of the second side wall intersect in space to form a certain angle.
[0016] In the aforementioned “series arrangement” or “side-by-side arrangement” scenarios, the battery section and the emergency box can be sequentially attached and connected together, or there can be a slight gap between them. In a preferred embodiment, when the battery section and the emergency box are arranged in series in the first direction, the third side wall of the battery compartment is attached to the first side wall of the box body. When the battery section and the emergency box are arranged side-by-side in the second direction, the fourth side wall of the battery compartment is attached to the second side wall of the box body.
[0017] To further ensure the reliable connection between the battery compartment and the emergency box, the third side wall of the battery compartment is connected to the first side wall of the box body, or the fourth side wall of the battery compartment is connected to the second side wall of the box body using a detachable connection structure. The detachable connection structure can be a snap-fit connection, a plug-in slot connection, a magnetic connection, etc. Using such a detachable connection structure enables quick assembly and disassembly, improving maintenance convenience.
[0018] To simplify the detachable connection between the battery compartment and the emergency box, a first slot is provided on one of the third sidewall of the battery compartment and the first sidewall of the box body, and a first insert is provided on the other sidewall for insertion into the first slot. The first slot has a first mounting opening for insertion of the first insert. The installation direction of the first insert from the first mounting opening into the first slot is consistent with the extension direction of the first sidewall. Correspondingly, a first elastic latch is provided on the third sidewall of the battery compartment or the first sidewall of the box body near the location of the first mounting opening to prevent the first insert from disengaging from the first slot. By restricting the insert from disengaging through the first elastic latch, combined with the design that the installation direction is consistent with the extension direction of the sidewall, the secure connection between the battery compartment and the emergency box can be ensured.
[0019] In some alternative solutions, the battery compartment and emergency box of the emergency kit are both mounted on the light source carrier plate of the lamp. The emergency kit also includes an emergency test module located outside the box. The emergency test module is electrically connected to the emergency circuit board via a first wiring harness. The bottom wall of the battery compartment is opposite to the light source carrier plate. The area where the bottom wall of the battery compartment meets the third or fourth side wall has a lead wire groove recessed towards the inside of the battery compartment. The first wiring harness passes through the first or second side wall of the box and then exits from the bottom of the battery compartment outward through the lead wire groove. The first and second side walls of the box and the third and fourth side walls of the battery compartment are all at a certain angle (less than 180°) to the light source carrier plate, preferably, they are substantially perpendicular to the light source carrier plate.
[0020] Considering that the layout of the emergency kit in a long, narrow light fixture should match the shape of the fixture as much as possible to avoid occupying redundant space after installation, as an improvement, the emergency box is elongated in shape. The first direction is consistent with the length direction of the emergency box, and the second direction is consistent with the width or height direction of the emergency box. By limiting the elongated shape of the emergency box and ensuring that the first direction is consistent with the length direction, the emergency kit can be arranged in series with the main body of the light fixture, further optimizing space utilization.
[0021] As an improvement, the battery compartment is also elongated. When the battery section and the emergency box are arranged in series in a first direction, the length of the battery compartment extends in the same straight line as the length of the emergency box. When the battery section and the emergency box are arranged side-by-side in a second direction, the width of the battery compartment extends in the same straight line as the width of the emergency box, or the height of the battery compartment extends in the same straight line as the height of the emergency box. Both the battery compartment and the emergency box adopt an elongated structure, and the alignment design of the battery compartment and the emergency box in the length, width, or height directions in series or side-by-side ensures the stability of both arrangement methods and the compactness of the overall structure.
[0022] In some alternative designs, the battery compartment includes a compartment body with an open top and a cover. The cover is rotatably connected to one side of the open top of the compartment body and can be opened and closed. This rotatable design of the cover facilitates battery replacement while effectively sealing the compartment and protecting the internal components.
[0023] Considering that long-term exposure of the connectors and openings can lead to oxidation or dust accumulation, resulting in poor contact, some embodiments further include a first sealing cap for covering the first or second connector of the housing and a second sealing cap for covering the first or second opening of the battery compartment. Covering the corresponding connectors and openings with the first and second sealing caps extends the service life of the corresponding terminals and improves the protection level.
[0024] In an optional configuration, the battery section may have only one first connector terminal. However, in order to quickly switch the installation position of the battery section and enable the first connector terminal of the battery section in different arrangement states to be quickly connected to the emergency connector terminal of the emergency box, the first connector terminal includes at least two first connector terminals connected in parallel with each other, and each first connector terminal can be selectively connected to the emergency connector terminal.
[0025] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem is: a lamp, including a light source carrier plate, a driving module disposed on the light source carrier plate, and an emergency kit, wherein the emergency kit is the above-mentioned emergency kit for lamps;
[0026] The battery, emergency box, and drive module are connected sequentially in the first direction, resulting in an overall elongated arrangement; alternatively, the battery and emergency box are arranged side-by-side in the second direction, both attached to the drive module. This series or side-by-side arrangement of the battery, emergency box, and drive module enables the orderly integration of internal components, further optimizing the spatial layout.
[0027] Considering the complexity of connecting the emergency box and the drive module, requiring additional wiring harnesses or soldering and increasing assembly difficulty, some alternative solutions include a fourth connector on the emergency box and a fifth connector on the drive module for connecting to the fourth connector. The emergency box and the drive module are connected via the plug-in mating of the fourth and fifth connectors. This direct plug-in connection simplifies the connection process and improves assembly efficiency.
[0028] To ensure a secure connection between the fourth connector of the emergency box and the fifth connector of the drive module, the side wall of the box has an outwardly extending upper protrusion, and the side of the drive module has an outwardly extending lower protrusion. The fourth connector is located at the bottom of the upper protrusion, and the fifth connector is located at the top of the lower protrusion. When the fourth and fifth connectors are in place, the upper protrusion overlaps the lower protrusion. This overlapping design of the upper and lower protrusions, combined with the cooperation of the connectors, enhances the resistance to displacement of the connection structure between the emergency box and the drive module, while also ensuring overall aesthetics.
[0029] Considering that the upper and lower bosses may still easily detach due to gravity overlap and plug-in terminal connections, posing a certain safety hazard, some alternative solutions include a second elastic latch on the upper boss. A second latch engagement portion is also provided on the drive module opposite to the second elastic latch. The second elastic latch engages with the second latch engagement portion to prevent the upper boss from detaching upwards relative to the lower boss. Mechanical locking is achieved through the engagement of the second elastic latch and the second latch engagement portion, preventing accidental detachment of the upper and lower bosses. The aforementioned "second latch engagement portion" can be an inwardly recessed structure such as a groove or pit on the wall of the drive module, or a protruding structure such as a buckle or flange protruding from the wall of the drive module.
[0030] To simplify the detachable connection structure between the drive module and the battery compartment, in some alternative solutions, the drive module has a second slot on its side wall, and the battery compartment has a second insert on its side wall that can be inserted into the second slot. The second slot has a second mounting opening for inserting the second insert. The drive module also has a third elastic latch on its side wall near the second mounting opening to prevent the second insert from disengaging from the second slot. Through the insertion and engagement of the second insert with the second slot and the limiting design of the third elastic latch, quick installation and reliable fixation are achieved. In some preferred solutions, the second insert of the battery compartment is the same insert as the first insert (used for mating with the first insert).
[0031] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The emergency kit for lighting fixtures of this utility model allows for two installation modes: series or parallel installation of the battery section and the emergency box. This adapts to both the linear layout requirements of linear lights and the horizontal distribution requirements of ceiling lights, making the same emergency kit module universally applicable across different lighting fixture types. This eliminates the traditional binding relationship between emergency kits and lighting fixture structures, eliminating the need to develop dedicated molds for different lighting fixtures and significantly reducing mold development costs and production line modification costs. Through an adjustable installation direction (an angle arrangement between the first and second directions), the emergency kit can flexibly adapt to the internal space layout of different lighting fixtures, improving installation compatibility and effectively solving the "one lamp, one mold" customization dilemma of existing emergency kits, thus reducing the overall production costs for enterprises. Furthermore, the emergency kit of this utility model features a modular design, effectively improving product reusability. When lighting fixtures are updated, the emergency kit module can be retained, reducing material waste. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0048] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] Figures 1-9 This illustration shows a preferred embodiment of the emergency kit for lighting fixtures and the lighting fixture of this utility model. The emergency kit is generally mounted on the light source carrier plate of the lighting fixture. The light source carrier plate is a plate body, with the light source, such as an LED light strip, typically mounted on its front side, while the emergency kit and drive module 31 are located on the back side of the light source carrier plate. The emergency kit includes a battery section 1 and an emergency box 2. The battery section 1 includes a long, narrow battery compartment 11, which includes a compartment body 113 with an open top and a cover 114. The end of the cover 114 is rotatably connected to one edge of the open top of the compartment body 113 via a pin. Rotating the cover 114 can open or close the open top of the compartment body 113. An emergency battery 12 is installed inside the battery compartment 11, and the positive and negative terminals of the emergency battery 12 are connected to a first plug-in terminal 121. The first plug-in terminal 121 adopts a conventional quick-release electrical terminal structure and is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the emergency battery 12 via a corresponding wiring harness, as described in this embodiment. Figure 8 The battery section shows that the emergency battery 12 is provided with only one first plug terminal 121.
[0051] See Figure 3 Emergency box 2 is also a long, rectangular box 21, with an emergency circuit board (not shown in the attached diagram) fixed inside. It is understood that the circuit board integrates control circuitry, a charge / discharge management module, etc. The specific structure and working principle of the emergency circuit board are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Emergency box 2 includes a bottom sidewall, a top sidewall opposite to the bottom sidewall, and an annular sidewall located between the bottom and top sidewalls. Specifically, the annular sidewall of emergency box 2 includes a first sidewall 211 and a second sidewall 212 that are perpendicular to each other. A first insertion interface 2110 is provided on the first sidewall 211, and a second insertion interface 2120 is provided on the second sidewall 212. A second plug-in terminal 221 is fixed inside the first insertion interface 2110, and a third plug-in terminal 222 is fixed inside the second insertion interface 2120. The second plug-in terminal 221 and the third plug-in terminal 222 are connected in parallel to the circuit of the emergency circuit board. Specifically, they can be integrated into the emergency circuit board or electrically connected to the emergency circuit board via wires. After the emergency box 2 is installed onto the light source carrier plate, the bottom sidewall of the emergency box 2 is in close contact with the light source carrier plate, while the aforementioned annular sidewalls (i.e., the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212) are substantially perpendicular to the light source carrier plate. Figure 5 As shown, the side wall on one side of the end of the emergency box 2 along its length is called the first side wall 211, and the side wall parallel to the length of the emergency box 2 is called the second side wall 212.
[0052] See Figure 5The battery compartment 11 has a compartment body 113 including a bottom wall and side walls extending upward from the bottom wall. The side walls of the compartment body 113 include a third side wall 111 and a fourth side wall 112 that are perpendicular to each other. Similarly, as... Figure 5 As shown, the side wall at one end of the battery compartment 11 along its length is designated as the third side wall 111, and the side wall parallel to the length of the battery compartment 11 is designated as the fourth side wall 112. After the emergency box 2 is installed on the light source support plate, the bottom wall of the battery compartment 11 is in close contact with the light source support plate, and the aforementioned third side wall 111 and fourth side wall 112 are substantially perpendicular to the light source support plate. The third side wall 111 of the battery compartment 11 has a first opening 1110, and the fourth side wall 112 has a second opening 1120. The first plug-in terminal 121 can selectively pass through the first opening 1110 and be plugged into the second plug-in terminal 221 of the emergency box 2, or pass through the second opening 1120 and be plugged into the third plug-in terminal 222 of the emergency box 2.
[0053] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, when the first connector 121 of the battery section 1 connects to the third connector 222 of the emergency box 2 through the second opening 1120 of the fourth side wall 112, the fourth side wall 112 of the battery compartment 11 and the second side wall 212 of the emergency box 2 are abutted together. The width direction of the battery compartment 11 and the width direction of the emergency box 2 extend in the same straight line direction. That is, the battery section 1 and the emergency box 2 are arranged side by side in the second direction A2. In this embodiment, the second direction A2 is consistent with the width direction of the battery section 1 and the emergency box 2. With this layout, when the battery section 1 and the emergency box 2 are combined, it can avoid occupying too much space in a single direction as much as possible, and it is well applicable to the installation of lighting fixtures such as ceiling lights.
[0054] In this embodiment, taking a non-elongated light fixture such as a ceiling light as an example, the installation structure of the emergency kit and the light fixture's drive module 31 is described. The light fixture's drive module 31 is disposed on the back of the light source carrier plate and contains a constant current drive circuit. In a preferred embodiment, the drive module 31 is installed on the back of the carrier plate using a detachable connection structure, such as the installation structure of the functional module in the applicant's prior application: CN221801709U "Installation Structure of Functional Modules of Light Fixtures and Application of Light Fixtures with Such Installation Structure".
[0055] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The drive module 31 of the ceiling light is generally square or similar in shape. In this light fixture, the battery section 1 and the emergency box 2 are arranged side by side along the second direction A2, and both are fixed to the same side of the drive module 31 by a plug-in structure. Specifically, the upper part of one end of the emergency box 2 in the length direction has an outwardly protruding upper boss 24, and a fourth plug-in terminal 223 is installed at the bottom of the upper boss 24. The lower side of the drive module 31 has an outwardly extending lower boss 32, and a fifth plug-in terminal 311 is provided at the top of the lower boss 32. During installation, the upper boss 24 of the emergency box 2 overlaps the lower boss 32 of the drive module 31, and the fourth plug-in terminal 223 and the fifth plug-in terminal 311 are vertically plugged in to realize the electrical connection between the emergency box 2 and the drive module 31. The upper protrusion 24 of the emergency box 2 is also provided with a second elastic buckle 241. The side of the drive module 31, opposite to the second elastic buckle 241, is also provided with a second buckle engagement part 33. The second buckle engagement part 33 can be an inwardly recessed structure such as a groove or pit on the wall of the drive module 31, or a protruding structure such as a buckle or flange protruding outward from the wall of the drive module 31. The second elastic buckle 241 is a locking component with elastic deformation capability, such as a plastic buckle structure. It can be provided with a backstop buckle 2410. After the emergency box 2 and the drive module 31 are assembled in place, the backstop buckle 2410 of the second elastic buckle 241 can be engaged into the second buckle engagement part 33 (taking the groove as an example). The second buckle engagement part 33 restricts the upward movement of the upper protrusion 24, realizing mechanical locking and preventing the overlapping structure from loosening. Pressing the second elastic buckle 241 to the side can disengage the anti-reverse protrusion 2410 of the second elastic buckle 241 from the second buckle engagement part 33, allowing the upper protrusion 24 of the emergency box 2 to be pulled upward relative to the lower protrusion 32, thereby realizing the disassembly of the emergency box 2 relative to the drive module 31.
[0056] The emergency box 2 and the drive module 31 are connected by an overlapping design of the upper boss 24 and the lower boss 32, combined with the cooperation of the plug-in terminals. This enhances the anti-displacement capability of the connection structure between the emergency box 2 and the drive module 31, and also ensures the overall aesthetics.
[0057] See Figure 5 The battery compartment 11 has vertically extending second inserts on its left and right sides of the third sidewall 111. The drive module 31 has a corresponding second slot 34 on its side, which also extends vertically, with a second mounting opening at its top. After the second insert is inserted downwards into the second slot 34 from the second mounting opening, it is locked by a third elastic buckle 35 corresponding to the drive module 31 to prevent it from coming out. Since both the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 are connected to the drive module 31, in this embodiment, no additional mechanical connection structure is required between the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2.
[0058] The lower boss 32 and the aforementioned second slot 34 are located on the same side of the drive module 31, corresponding to the side-by-side arrangement of the emergency box 2 and the battery part 1 in the second direction A2. The lower boss 32 and the second slot 34 are also arranged sequentially along the second direction A2.
[0059] The aforementioned third elastic buckle 35 is a locking component with elastic deformation capability, such as a plastic buckle structure. It may be equipped with a backstop protrusion 350. After the battery compartment 11 and the drive module 31 are assembled, the backstop protrusion 350 of the third elastic buckle 35 acts on the top of the battery compartment 11, forming a limit at the top to prevent the second insert from dislodging upwards from the second slot 34. Pressing the third elastic buckle 35 to the side releases the backstop protrusion 350 from limiting the battery compartment 11, allowing the second insert to dislodge upwards from the second slot 34, thus enabling the battery compartment 11 to be disassembled relative to the drive module 31.
[0060] To further improve the reliability of the battery compartment 11 installation, the bottom of the other end of the battery compartment 11 away from the third side wall 111 in the length direction also has an outwardly protruding first locking foot 14. A first locking hole that runs vertically through the light source carrier plate can be opened accordingly. The first locking foot 14 can pass through the first locking hole (not shown in the figure) and be limited to the bottom surface of the light source carrier plate to prevent this end of the battery compartment 11 from tilting upward.
[0061] When one of the first connector 2110 and the second connector 2120 in the battery compartment 11 is not in use, a first sealing cover 26 made of silicone material can be placed over the unused connector to prevent dust. Similarly, when one of the first opening 1110 and the second opening 1120 in the emergency box 2 is not in use, a second sealing cover 13 made of silicone material can be placed over the unused opening.
[0062] The emergency kit also includes an emergency test module 25 located outside the housing 21 of the emergency box 2. The emergency test module 25 is electrically connected to the emergency circuit board via a first wiring harness 251. The emergency test module 25 is typically used to perform functional self-tests. Its working principle and installation structure with the lamp body are existing technologies and will not be described further.
[0063] Example 2
[0064] Figures 10-15 This illustration shows another preferred embodiment of the emergency kit for lighting fixtures and the lighting fixture of this utility model. The battery section 1 and emergency box 2 of the emergency kit in this embodiment have the same structure as in Embodiment 1. The main differences are in the arrangement of the battery section 1 and emergency box 2, and the installation method of the emergency kit and the driving module 31 of the lighting fixture. This emergency kit is suitable for long, strip-shaped lighting fixtures such as tri-proof lights.
[0065] See Figure 10This embodiment uses a long, strip-shaped tri-proof light as an example to illustrate the installation structure of the emergency kit and the drive module 31. The drive module 31 of the tri-proof light is generally also long and strip-shaped, extending along the length of the light. In this light fixture, the battery section 1, the emergency box 2, and the drive module 31 are connected sequentially in the first direction A1, so that the three are arranged in a long strip shape as a whole, that is, they are arranged in series along the first direction A1. In this series arrangement, the length directions of the battery section 1, the emergency box 2, and the drive module 31 extend in the same straight direction, that is, along the first direction A1.
[0066] See Figures 12-15 In this embodiment, the first plug-in terminal 121 of the battery section 1 passes through the first opening 1110 of the third sidewall 111 and connects to the second plug-in terminal 221 of the emergency box 2. The third sidewall 111 of the battery compartment 11 is tightly attached to the first sidewall 211 of the emergency box 2 and is fixed by a detachable connection structure: the left and right sides of the third sidewall 111 of the battery compartment 11 have vertically extending first inserts 116, and the first sidewall 211 of the emergency box 2 has a corresponding first slot 213, the extension direction of the first slot 213 is also vertical, and its top is a first mounting opening. After the first insert 116 is inserted into the first slot 213 from the first mounting opening along the extension direction of the first sidewall 211, it is locked by the first elastic buckle 214 correspondingly provided on the emergency box 2 to prevent it from falling out. At this time, the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 are arranged in series along the length direction, forming a straight line, which is suitable for long strip lights such as tri-proof lights. The first insert 116 of the battery compartment 11 in this embodiment can be the same insert as the first insert 116 in embodiment 1.
[0067] Similar to the structure and operation of the third elastic buckle 35 on the drive module 31 in Embodiment 1, the first elastic buckle 214 on the emergency box 2 in this embodiment is a locking component with elastic deformation capability, such as a plastic buckle structure. It can be equipped with a backstop protrusion 2140. After the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 are assembled, the backstop protrusion 2140 of the first elastic buckle 214 acts on the top of the battery compartment 11, forming a limit at the top to prevent the first insert 116 from dislodging upwards from the first slot 213. Pressing the first elastic buckle 214 to the side releases the backstop protrusion 2140 from the battery compartment 11, allowing the first insert 116 to dislodge upwards from the first slot 213, thus enabling the battery compartment 11 to be disassembled relative to the emergency box 2.
[0068] Similar to the structure of the emergency box 2 in Embodiment 1, the upper part of the end of the emergency box 2 away from the first sidewall 211 in the length direction is provided with an outwardly protruding upper boss 24, and a fourth plug-in terminal 223 is installed at the bottom of the upper boss 24. The lower side of one end of the drive module 31 in the length direction has an outwardly extending lower boss 32, and a fifth plug-in terminal 311 is provided at the top of the lower boss 32. During installation, the upper boss 24 of the emergency box 2 overlaps with the lower boss 32 of the drive module 31, and the fourth plug-in terminal 223 and the fifth plug-in terminal 311 are vertically plugged in to realize the electrical connection between the emergency box 2 and the drive module 31. The upper boss 24 is also provided with a second elastic buckle 241, which is inserted into the groove of the sidewall of the drive module 31 to prevent the overlapping structure from loosening.
[0069] In this embodiment, the bottom of the battery compartment 11 is provided with a lead wire groove 115 near its third sidewall 111. The lead wire groove 115 is located at the junction of the third sidewall 111 and the bottom wall, and is a U-shaped groove with its opening facing the emergency box 2. The first wiring harness 251 of the emergency test module 25 passes through the first sidewall 211 of the emergency box 2 and is led out at the bottom through the lead wire groove 115 of the battery compartment 11. In a preferred embodiment, after the first wiring harness 251 passes through the lead wire groove 115 of the battery compartment 11, it can extend along the length of the battery compartment 11 to the other end and be led out from the bottom of the battery compartment 11. By shielding the first wiring harness 251 with the battery compartment 11, the first wiring harness 251 can be avoided as much as possible from being exposed, improving aesthetics.
[0070] As can be seen from Embodiments 1 and 2 above, the emergency kit for lighting fixtures of this utility model, by setting up multi-directional selectable plug-in terminals and an opening structure (the angled layout of the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 combined with the first and second openings 1120), allows the battery part 1 and the emergency box 2 to achieve two installation modes: series or parallel. This can adapt to the linear layout requirements of linear lights and meet the horizontal distribution requirements of ceiling lights. The same emergency kit module can be used across different lighting fixture types, eliminating the traditional binding relationship between emergency kits and lighting fixture structures. It eliminates the need to develop dedicated molds for different lighting fixtures, significantly reducing mold development costs and production line modification costs. Through an adjustable installation direction (the angled arrangement of the first direction A1 and the second direction A2), the emergency kit can flexibly adapt to the internal space layout of different lighting fixtures, improving installation compatibility and effectively solving the "one lamp, one mold" customization dilemma of existing emergency kits, reducing the overall production cost for enterprises. On the other hand, the emergency kit of this utility model achieves a modular design, effectively improving product reusability. When lighting fixtures are updated, the emergency kit module can be retained, reducing material waste.
[0071] Based on the above embodiments, other embodiments can be obtained by replacing and improving the relevant technical features. For example, the side-by-side arrangement of the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 along the second direction A2 is not limited to "arranged along the width direction of the emergency box 2 or the battery compartment 11" in Embodiment 1. The battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 can be stacked in the height direction of the emergency box 2, that is, the second direction A2 is consistent with the height direction of the emergency box 2. For example, if the battery compartment 11 is stacked on top of the emergency box 2, then the bottom wall of the battery compartment 11 can serve as the fourth side wall, and the top side wall of the emergency box 2 can serve as the second side wall. Alternatively, the emergency box 2 can be stacked on top of the battery compartment 11, then the top wall of the battery compartment 11 can serve as the fourth side wall, and the bottom side wall of the emergency box 2 can serve as the second side wall. For example, the included angle between the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 of the emergency box 2, and the included angle between the third sidewall 111 and the fourth sidewall 112 of the battery compartment 11, are not limited to right angles; they can be designed as acute or obtuse angles according to actual needs. For example, in Embodiment 1, the battery compartment 11 may not be connected to the driving module 31 of the lamp, but instead, the battery compartment 11 is connected to the emergency box 2, specifically using an assembly structure similar to the insert and slot fit between the battery compartment 11 and the emergency box 2 in Embodiment 2. For example, the first sidewall on the box body used for opening the first insertion interface and the second sidewall used for opening the second insertion interface may not form an angle; that is, the first sidewall and the second sidewall are parallel and have a certain distance in the first direction. Correspondingly, only one opening may be provided on the wall of the battery compartment 11 for the first insertion terminal to pass through.
