Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and in particular to a lamp holder mounting structure for a refrigerator top light. Background Technology
[0002] Refrigerators typically use LED lights for internal lighting, which provide a large illumination area and good effect. To ensure the refrigerator's cooling performance, LED lights are usually installed using a pre-embedded method.
[0003] Pre-installed LED lights typically involve fixing the lamp holder directly to the top of the refrigerator with screws, and then attaching the lamp cover to the lamp holder. This installation method requires removing the lamp cover and using a screwdriver to remove the screws during installation or maintenance. This method is limited by the confined space inside the refrigerator and can easily scratch the refrigerator or damage the LED light. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a lamp holder mounting structure for a refrigerator ceiling light.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A lamp holder mounting structure for a refrigerator top light includes a mounting base and a U-shaped bracket. The mounting base has a mounting groove on its top and a bracket groove in the center of the mounting groove. A U-shaped bracket is slidably connected in the bracket groove. A first coupling end is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped bracket. A buckling mechanism including an arc-shaped locking block and a movable pad is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped bracket. The mounting base is inverted on the top of the refrigerator.
[0007] The U-shaped bracket has symmetrical fixing blocks fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom. An arc-shaped locking block is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block. The bottom of the arc-shaped locking block has a movable groove, and a movable pad is slidably connected in the movable groove.
[0008] It also includes a lighting lamp, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a base.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the bracket groove is symmetrically provided with contact terminals, and the two contact terminals are electrically connected to the external circuit respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the U-shaped bracket is fixedly provided with two contact heads corresponding to the contact terminals, and the two contact heads are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the first coupling end, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, bolt holes are provided on both sides of the top of the U-shaped bracket, and bolts corresponding to the bolt holes are threadedly connected to both sides of the top of the bracket groove.
[0012] Preferably, an air cushion is fixedly installed in the movable groove above the movable pad, and the length and width of the air cushion are smaller than the length and width of the movable groove.
[0013] Preferably, the base is adapted to the mounting groove, and a second coupling end is provided at the center of the bottom end of the base, and the circuit of the lighting lamp is electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the second coupling end respectively.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom end of the base is symmetrically provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the ends of the two arc-shaped grooves are provided with slots that are adapted to the arc-shaped locking blocks.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model uses a U-shaped bracket, which is detachable. When the U-shaped bracket is fixed in the bracket groove, the two contact heads abut against the two contact terminals respectively to connect the circuit. The first coupling end and the second coupling end use annular copper sheets as contact ends to achieve the circuit connection function, and can also be rotated without affecting the connection.
[0017] This invention features a snap-fit mechanism that secures the base. The movable pad slides into the slot under the pushing force of the slot, compressing the air cushion. Simultaneously, the reaction force of the air cushion continuously acts on the movable pad, slot, and base. This ensures stable installation of the base and light fixture during normal refrigerator use, preventing them from falling off. After the snap-fit is complete, the light fixture is parallel to the mounting base, aligning it with the refrigerator door opening. This also conceals the bolts for a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. To remove the light fixture, simply rotate it in the opposite direction to unlock it, eliminating the need to remove the bolts. This convenient operation avoids the need for screwdrivers or other tools in confined spaces, protecting the refrigerator interior from scratches and minimizing the risk of damaging the LED lights.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-8 A lamp holder mounting structure for a refrigerator top light includes a mounting base 2 and a U-shaped bracket 6. The mounting base 2 has a mounting groove 3 on its top and a bracket groove 31 in the center of the mounting groove 3. The U-shaped bracket 6 is slidably connected in the bracket groove 31. A first coupling end 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped bracket 6. The bottom sides of the U-shaped bracket 6 are symmetrically provided with a buckling mechanism 9 including an arc-shaped locking block 11 and a movable pad 12. The mounting base 2 is inverted on the top of the refrigerator 1.
[0029] The bottom two sides of the U-shaped bracket 6 are fixedly connected with symmetrical fixing blocks 10, and the top of the fixing block 10 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped locking block 11. The bottom of the arc-shaped locking block 11 is provided with a movable groove, and a movable pad 12 is slidably connected in the movable groove.
[0030] It also includes a light fixture 14, with a base 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the light fixture 14. The mounting base 2 is integrally formed on the top of the refrigerator 1, with the mounting groove 3 opening downwards. For ease of viewing and structural description, the mounting base 2 is shown separately with the mounting groove 3 opening upwards. The mounting groove 3 accommodates the base 15. The U-shaped bracket 6 is detachable. The first coupling end 8 and the second coupling end 16 use a ring-shaped copper sheet as the contact end to achieve circuit connection while allowing rotation without affecting the connection. This wiring method is common in electric kettles. The U-shaped bracket 6 is connected to the light fixture 14 via a snap-fit mechanism 9. During the first installation, the U-shaped bracket 6 is first aligned with the bracket groove 31 and pushed to the bottom of the bracket groove 31. At this point, the two bolts 5 are locked into the bolt holes 7 to fix the U-shaped bracket 6. Then, the base 15 is pushed into the mounting groove 3 so that the second coupling end 16 connects to the first coupling end 8. The length of the light lamp 14 is perpendicular to the length of the mounting base 2. The arc-shaped locking block 11 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 17. Rotating the light lamp 14 so that its length is parallel to the length of the mounting base 2 allows the arc-shaped locking block 11 to be screwed into the groove at the end of the arc-shaped groove 17. At this time, the movable pad 12 is pushed into the movable groove by the groove and the base 15 is fastened by the locking mechanism 9. After the locking is completed, the light lamp 14 is parallel to the mounting base 2, making the light lamp 14 parallel to the opening end of the refrigerator 1. This also conceals the bolt 5, making the overall appearance aesthetically pleasing. In addition, to remove the light lamp 14, simply rotate the light lamp 14 in the opposite direction to unlock it without removing the bolt 5. This operation is convenient and eliminates the need to use screwdrivers or other tools for disassembly and assembly in a confined space. It also protects the interior of the refrigerator 1 from scratches and prevents damage to the LED lights.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, contact terminals 4 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the bracket groove 31, and the two contact terminals 4 are electrically connected to the external circuit. The contact terminals 4 are connected to the internal circuit of the refrigerator 1, serving as the power input for the lighting lamp 14.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two contact heads corresponding to the contact terminals 4 are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the U-shaped bracket 6. The two contact heads are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the first coupling terminal 8, respectively. When the U-shaped bracket 6 is fixed in the bracket groove 31, the two contact heads abut against the two contact terminals 4 to connect the circuit.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, bolt holes 7 are provided on both sides of the top of the U-shaped bracket 6, and bolts 5 corresponding to the bolt holes 7 are threadedly connected to both sides of the top of the bracket groove 31. The bolts 5 are used to fix the U-shaped bracket 6 to the bracket groove 31 so that the U-shaped bracket 6 will not shift, ensuring the stability of the lighting lamp 14 and the stable connection of the circuit of the contact terminal 4.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an air cushion 13 is fixedly installed in the movable groove above the movable pad 12. The length and width of the air cushion 13 are smaller than the length and width of the movable groove. When the latching mechanism 9 latches the base 15, the movable pad 12 slides into the movable groove under the pushing force of the latching groove, and the air cushion 13 is compressed. At the same time, the reaction force of the air cushion 13 continues to act on the movable pad 12, the latching groove, and the base 15. When the refrigerator 1 is in normal use, it ensures that the base 15 and the lighting lamp 14 are stably installed and will not fall off. The size of the air cushion 13 is smaller than that of the movable groove, which provides leeway when the movable pad 12 squeezes the air cushion 13, and prevents the movable pad 12 from being unable to slide into the movable groove, thus affecting the installation of the base 15.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 15 is adapted to the mounting groove 3, and a second coupling end 16 is provided at the center of the bottom end of the base 15. The circuit of the lighting lamp 14 is electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the second coupling end 16 respectively. When the second coupling end 16 contacts the first coupling end 8, the internal power circuit of the refrigerator 1 is connected to the lighting lamp 14.
[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom end of the base 15 is symmetrically provided with arc-shaped grooves 17, and the ends of the two arc-shaped grooves 17 are provided with slots that are adapted to the arc-shaped locking blocks 11. The slots are screwed into the arc-shaped locking blocks 11 by rotating 90 degrees. The 90-degree rotation is easy to distinguish and will not cause errors during operation. Moreover, due to the reaction force of the air cushion 13, the resistance will be clearly felt in the final stage of rotating the base 15. Combined with the angle between the light lamp 14 and the opening direction of the refrigerator 1, it is sufficient to judge whether the light lamp 14 is locked in place.
[0037] In use, the mounting base 2 is integrally formed on the top of the refrigerator 1 with the mounting groove 3 opening downwards. During the first installation, the U-shaped bracket 6 is aligned with the bracket groove 31 and pushed to the bottom of the groove 31. The two contact heads abut against the two contact terminals 4 respectively, connecting the circuit. Then, the two bolts 5 are locked into the bolt holes 7 to fix the U-shaped bracket 6. Next, the base 15 is pushed into the mounting groove 3 so that the second coupling end 16 connects to the first coupling end 8, connecting the internal power line of the refrigerator 1 to the lighting lamp 14. At this time, the length direction of the lighting lamp 14 is aligned with the mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 is perpendicular in length, and the arc-shaped locking block 11 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 17. By rotating the lighting lamp 14 so that its length is parallel to the length of the mounting base 2, the arc-shaped locking block 11 can be screwed into the groove at the end of the arc-shaped groove 17, which can cover the bolt 5 and make the overall appearance neat. During the rotation, the movable pad 12 is pushed into the movable groove by the groove, and the air cushion 13 is compressed. At the same time, the reaction force of the air cushion 13 continues to act on the movable pad 12, the groove and the base 15. To remove the lighting lamp 14, simply rotate the lighting lamp 14 in the opposite direction to unlock it.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
