Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a lamp structure, and more particularly to a lamp with a side-opening cover structure. Background Technology

[0002] In existing designs, the cover of a luminaire is typically located at the top, a design that presents inconveniences in certain usage scenarios. For example, opening the cover can be difficult when the luminaire is installed high up. Furthermore, this top-opening design is detrimental to internal maintenance and component replacement. Due to the limited opening location, users have difficulty obtaining a good view and operating space, hindering clear observation of the luminaire's interior and impacting the efficiency and accuracy of maintenance and component replacement. During maintenance and component replacement, users need to remove or flip the entire luminaire, increasing the complexity and workload of the operation.

[0003] In conclusion, the top-opening cover structure of lamps has many inconveniences and problems in actual use, and can no longer meet users' needs for convenience, efficiency and safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative lamp opening cover structure design to improve this situation. Utility Model Content

The housing includes a main body and a mating plate connected to the main body. A plurality of first latches are provided on one side of the housing near the front end face, and the first latches are distributed vertically among themselves. The cover plate includes a cover body, a sealing gasket connected to the back of the cover body, and a plurality of second latches connected to one side of the cover body, and the second latches are distributed vertically among themselves. During assembly, the second latches correspond one-to-one with the first latches and are aligned vertically with each other. The connector passes through both the first and second latches. Through the cooperation of the first latches, the second latches, and the connector, the cover plate can rotate horizontally around the axis of the connector.

[0006] In one embodiment, the heat sink includes a main plate, two auxiliary plates respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the main plate, and a heat-conducting strip connected to the bottom of the main plate. The extension direction of the auxiliary plates is consistent with the extension direction of the main plate, and the extension direction of the heat-conducting strip is consistent with the extension direction of the main plate.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a lamp with a side-opening cover structure, including a heat sink 10, a housing 20 mounted on the heat sink 10, a cover plate 30, and a connector 40 connecting the cover plate 30 and the housing 20. The cover plate 30 can be flipped open in the horizontal direction along the connector 40 or covered on the housing 20.

[0025] The radiator 10 includes a main plate 11, two auxiliary plates 12 connected to the front and rear sides of the main plate 11 respectively, and a heat-conducting strip 13 connected to the bottom of the main plate 11. The extension direction of the auxiliary plates 12 is consistent with the extension direction of the main plate 11, and the extension direction of the heat-conducting strip 13 is consistent with the extension direction of the main plate 11. The two auxiliary plates 12 are inclined outward in opposite directions. The outer side of the auxiliary plates 12 is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs 121, which are parallel to each other and extend in the same direction as the main plate 11. By setting the protruding ribs 121 and the heat-conducting strip 13, the overall bending rigidity of the radiator 10 can be increased. The heat-conducting strip 13 can effectively conduct the heat of the shell 20 to the radiator 10, and the protruding ribs 121 can increase the heat dissipation area to improve the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 10.

[0026] The housing 20 includes a main body 21, a docking plate 22 connected to the main body 21, and a plurality of connecting posts 23 connected to the upper end face of the main body 21. The main body 21 is provided with a receiving groove 211, which extends inward from the front side of the main body 21. The docking plate 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the opening of the receiving groove 211 and is distributed around the opening of the entire receiving groove 211. The front side of the docking plate 22 is provided with a sealing groove 221, which is distributed around the entire opening of the receiving groove 211. The front side of the docking plate 22 is also provided with a plurality of fixing holes 222, and the sealing groove 221 on the docking plate 22 is offset inward from the position corresponding to the fixing holes 222.

[0027] The housing 20 also includes a plurality of protrusions 24, each having a hollow structure. These protrusions 24 are used to mount lamp holders. In this embodiment, the protrusions 24 are divided into a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a third protrusion. The first and second protrusions are connected to the left and right sides of the main body 21, and the third protrusion is mounted on the bottom of the main body 21. Additionally, a plurality of first latches 25 are provided on one side of the housing 20 near the front end face, and these first latches 25 are distributed vertically among themselves.

[0028] The cover plate 30 includes a cover body 31, a sealing gasket 32 ​​connected to the back of the cover body 31, and a plurality of second fasteners 33 connected to one side of the cover body 31. The shape of the sealing gasket 32 ​​corresponds to the sealing groove 221 on the mating plate 22. The cover body 31 is also provided with a plurality of through holes 311. The extending direction of the through holes 311 is offset from that of the sealing gasket 32. The second fasteners 33 are distributed vertically among themselves.

[0029] During assembly, the second latch 33 and the first latch 25 correspond one-to-one and are aligned vertically. The connector 40 passes through both the first latch 25 and the second latch 33. Through the cooperation of the first latch 25, the second latch 33, and the connector 40, the cover plate 30 can rotate horizontally around the axis of the connector 40. In this embodiment, the connector 40 is a bolt; in other embodiments, the connector 40 can also be riveted. The connecting post 23 is in contact with the bottom surface of the plate body 11. This invention also includes several locking screws, some of which pass through the plate body 11 and are fixed to the connecting post 23.

[0030] When the cover plate 30 is installed on the housing 20, the cover plate 30 is rotated so that when the cover plate 30 is placed on the housing 20, the sealing gasket 32 ​​of the cover plate 30 extends into the sealing groove 221 and is stuck between the cover body 31 and the mating plate 22, which improves the sealing effect of the cover plate 30 and the housing 20 and extends the service life of the product. Some of the locking screws pass through the through hole 311 of the cover plate 30 and are installed on the fixing hole 222 of the housing 20.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a lamp with a side-opening cover structure are as follows: by providing a first latch 25 on one side of the housing 20 and a second latch 33 on one side of the cover plate 30, and the connecting member 40 connecting the second latch 33 of the cover plate 30 and the first latch 25 of the housing 20, the cover plate 30 can be flipped open or placed on the housing 20 in the horizontal direction along the connecting member 40; this utility model adopts a side-opening cover, which reduces interference between the cover plate 30 and other items when it is opened, making it convenient to open the cover. In addition, during maintenance, the internal condition of the lamp can be clearly observed, improving the efficiency and accuracy of maintenance and replacement of parts. It is highly practical and has strong promotional significance.

[0032] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
