[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0030] refer to Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model illustrates a snap-fit cabinet light installation structure, including a recess 1 disposed within a cabinet body 100 and a strip light body 2 embedded within the recess 1. The recess 1 has slots 11 on its two side walls. The strip light body 2 includes a profile body 21, an LED light strip 22, and a transparent silicone strip 23. The profile body 21 has mounting grooves 211 for mounting the LED light strip 22 and the transparent silicone strip 23. The profile body 21 also has a first wall panel 212 and a second wall panel 213 on its two sides. Each of the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 has a protruding locking strip 214 on its outer side. The locking strip 214 is used to engage with the slots 11, so that the profile body 21 and the recess 1 are snap-fitted together.
[0031] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first wall panel 212 and / or the second wall panel 213 has a certain elasticity. When the profile body 21 is inserted into the groove 1, the first wall panel 212 and / or the second wall panel 213 is first bent to a certain extent, so that the two retaining strips 214 are brought closer to each other, so that the positions of the two retaining strips 214 on the profile body 21 can enter the groove 1. When the profile body 21 enters the groove 1 to the depth of the retaining strips 214 corresponding to the retaining grooves 11, the first wall panel 212 and / or the second wall panel 213 elastically resets, so that the two retaining strips 214 are correspondingly engaged in the retaining grooves 11 on both sides of the groove 1, thereby achieving stable installation of the profile body 21 in the groove 1.
[0032] Thus, this structure integrates the light fixture with the cabinet 100 by setting a recess 1 inside the cabinet 100 and embedding the strip light body 2 within the recess 1. Compared to the previous method of directly installing the light fixture on the inner wall surface of the cabinet 100, this effectively avoids the problem of the light fixture's appearance not matching the design style of the cabinet 100, greatly improving the overall aesthetics and harmony of the cabinet 100. The strip light body 2 and the recess 1 are installed using a snap-fit method, which, compared to the traditional screw-fixing method, allows users or installers to easily complete the installation work, improving installation efficiency. In addition, the clips 214 protruding from the outer sides of the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 on both sides of the profile body 21 fit tightly with the clips 11 on the side walls of the recess 1, forming a stable snap-fit structure that ensures that the strip light body 2 is firmly installed in the recess 1, effectively preventing safety hazards such as shaking or falling off the light fixture during use.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 extend outwards with a retaining edge 215 at the end furthest from the groove 1. The retaining edge serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the profile body 21 from penetrating further into the groove 1, thus limiting the depth to which the profile body 21 is embedded in the groove 1; secondly, it conceals the gap between the profile body 21 and the inner wall of the groove 1, improving aesthetics.
[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer walls of both the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 are provided with multiple friction strips 216. The length direction of the friction strips 216 is arranged along the axial direction of the profile body 21, and the multiple friction strips 216 are arranged at intervals along the embedding direction. The friction strips 216 can increase the friction between the profile body 21 and the inner wall of the groove 1, and further improve the installation stability of the profile body 21 in the groove 1.
[0035] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the LED light strip 22 and the transparent silicone strip 23, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting groove 211 is provided with a protrusion 2111, and the outer wall of the transparent silicone strip 23 is provided with a groove 231. The groove 231 is engaged with the protrusion 2111. A cavity (not marked in the figure) is formed between the transparent silicone strip 23 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 211. The LED light strip 22 is disposed in the cavity and is attached to the inner wall of the mounting groove 211.
[0036] The transparent silicone strip 23 protects the LED light strip 22 while allowing the light emitted by the LED light strip 22 to pass through. The transparent silicone strip 23 is connected to the mounting groove 211 by a snap-fit connection, facilitating the installation and removal of the transparent silicone strip 23 and allowing for easy replacement when it ages. The LED light strip 22 is adhered to the profile body 21 for heat dissipation.
[0037] In some embodiments, to avoid causing glare or discomfort to the human body when the light emitted by the strip lamp body 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the opening direction of the mounting groove 211 and the embedding direction of the profile body 21 into the groove 1 form an angle k, which is 45°-60°. The opening direction of the mounting groove 211 faces the inner wall of the cabinet 100. When a person opens the cabinet door, the light emission direction of the strip light body 2 is to some extent opposite to the human body, preventing the human eye from looking directly at the light source and avoiding glare.
[0038] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the two inner walls of the mounting groove 211 include a long inner wall 211b and a short inner wall 211a. The transparent silicone strip 23 includes a light-emitting surface, which is perpendicular to the short inner wall 211a and is located within the coverage area of the short inner wall 211a. This structure allows the transparent silicone strip 23 to be hidden within the mounting groove 211. When a person opens the cabinet door, the transparent silicone strip 23 is obscured by the main body of the profile 21, making it invisible and enhancing aesthetics.
[0039] In some embodiments, to facilitate the formation of the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting groove 211 is formed on one side of the profile body 21, and a first groove 217 and a second groove 218 are formed on the other opposite side of the profile body 21. The first groove 217 and the second groove 218 enable the formation of the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 on the profile body 21. The width and depth of the first groove 217 and the second groove 218 are not limited, as long as at least one of the first wall panel 212 and the second wall panel 213 can be elastically bent to a certain extent.
[0040] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
