[0056] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a lamp with auxiliary equipment (hereinafter referred to as a lamp), including a chassis 100, a light-emitting component 200, a lampshade 300, and an end cap 400.

[0057] See Figures 2-4The chassis 100 has a light-emitting surface 101 and a backlight surface 102, and the backlight surface 102 is equipped with an LED driver 140. The LED driver 140 includes a conventional LED driver 141 and an emergency LED driver 142. The conventional LED driver 141 is used to convert the mains power to power the light-emitting component 200, and the emergency LED driver 142 is used to power the light-emitting component 200 using an energy storage element when the mains power fails. The energy storage element is charged when the mains power is restored, such as a battery. The light-emitting component 200 includes a substrate 210 and LED beads 220 disposed on the substrate 210.

[0058] The backlight surface 102 of the chassis 100 is provided with an LED driver box 150, and an emergency LED driver 142 can be installed inside or outside the LED driver box 150. The outer surface of the LED driver box 150 is provided with adjustment knobs 151 that are connected to the circuit of the conventional LED driver 141, such as multiple knobs for adjusting color temperature or power respectively.

[0059] The chassis 100 has a mounting portion 110 and a reflective portion 120. The mounting portion 110 is used to mount the light-emitting component 200. The reflective portion 120 is disposed on both sides of the mounting portion 110 and is inclined relative to the mounting portion 110. The reflective portion 120 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting component 200. The mounting portion 110 has a mounting groove 130, which has a bottom wall 131 for fixing the light-emitting component 200 and a side wall 132 for engaging with the edge of the lampshade 300. The mounting groove 130 has a constricted portion 133, which is formed by expanding outward from the side wall 132 and then rotating inward. The substrate 210 of the light-emitting component 200 is connected and fixed to the mounting portion 110. Specifically, the substrate 210 is connected and fixed to the bottom wall 131 of the mounting groove 130.

[0060] The lampshade 300 and the mounting portion 110 cooperate to form a cavity 301 for accommodating the light-emitting component 200. The edge of the lampshade 300 includes a covering portion 310 that overlaps with the reflective portion 120, and an overlapping portion 320 that rotates and extends into the constricted portion 133 relative to the covering portion 310. During assembly, the lampshade 300 can slide into the mounting groove 130 from one side. The overlapping portion 320 and the covering portion 310 cooperate with each other to restrict the movement of the lampshade 300 in the direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface 101. Through the adaptive fit between the edge of the lampshade 300 and the mounting groove 130, light leakage from the light-emitting component 200 at the edge of the lampshade 300 is prevented. The lampshade 300 has a diffuser portion 330 that transmits light from the light-emitting component 200. The cross-section of the diffuser portion 330 can be arc-shaped or square.

[0061] See Figure 5The end cap 400 is fitted to the end of the cavity 301, and after assembly, it restricts the lampshade 300 from sliding within the mounting groove 130. Specifically, the end cap 400 includes a plug 410 that inserts into the lampshade 300, and a sealing head 420 that is connected and fixed to the chassis 100 and adjacent to the plug 410. The plug 410 may be one installed at one end of the cavity 301, or two installed at both ends of the cavity 301. The sealing head 420 can be connected and fixed to the chassis 100, and the plug 410 can be connected and fixed to the sealing head 420; both can be fixed using fasteners such as bolts.

[0062] See Figure 6 The plug 410 has a slot 430 on the side facing the lampshade 300 for insertion and mating with the lampshade 300. The plug 410 has a first limiting portion 440 and a second limiting portion 450 forming the slot 430. The first limiting portion 440 has a guide portion 441 for insertion of the lampshade 300. The second limiting portion 450 may be a flange protruding from the surface of the plug 410. The first limiting portion 440 includes a plurality of discrete limiting posts 442. The base portion 443 of the limiting posts 442 adjacent to the surface of the plug 410 mates with the flange to form the slot 430. Each limiting post 442 has a guide slope 444, and the guide slope 444 of each limiting post 442 integrally forms the guide portion 441. For lampshades 300 with different diffuser shapes, plugs 410 of different shapes can be configured accordingly. When the lampshade 300 is made of fragile materials such as acrylic, the guide part 441 facilitates the sliding of the lampshade 300, improving the ease of installation.

[0063] See Figure 7 The end cap 400 is provided with an assembly part 460, and the end cap 400 has a recess 411 for accommodating the assembly part 460. For example, the assembly part 460 is provided on the plug 410, the plug 410 has a recess 411, the bottom of the recess 411 has an assembly hole 412, the assembly hole 412 serves as the assembly part 460, and the bottom of the recess 411 has a plate-like structure.

[0064] See Figures 8-9The luminaire includes an adapter 500 adapted to different auxiliary devices. The adapter 500 is used to fix the auxiliary devices and is detachably connected to the assembly part 460. The bottom of the recess 411 is used to position the adapter 500. The adapter 500 has a snap fastener 501 configured to be fixed to the assembly hole 412. Specifically, the adapter 500 includes a plate-shaped adapter 500 body and a snap fastener 501 fixed to the body. The adapter 500 includes various types depending on the auxiliary devices, and the snap fastener 501 is disposed on opposite sides of the adapter 500. The luminaires of the various embodiments of this application can be used as recessed luminaires and can be installed on the ceiling as recessed ceiling luminaires. Through the design of the adapter 500, different types of auxiliary devices can be installed to realize the auxiliary functions of different auxiliary devices without affecting the overall production, processing and packaging of the luminaire. Different types of adapters 500 are provided according to different types of auxiliary devices, and the corresponding type of adapter 500 can also be provided with mounting holes 502 for different auxiliary devices to be fixed together.

[0065] See Figure 10 The auxiliary equipment includes a decorative cover 610, a switch button 620, or a sensor 630. The sensor 630 can be equipped with a radar sensor or an infrared sensor, etc., for detecting the external scene. The shape of the decorative cover 610 can be adapted to the arc configuration of the plug 410 to improve aesthetics. The LED driver 140 has an electrical connection wire 143 extending to the mounting part 460 for connecting the auxiliary equipment. The decorative cover 610 is provided with a clamping groove 611 for holding and fixing the electrical connection wire 143 to secure it.

[0066] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 After the lamp is manufactured, the decorative cover 610 is selected as the default auxiliary equipment. The decorative cover 610 is fixed as an integral part with the corresponding adapter 500 and is fixed to the mounting hole 502 as a whole. When other auxiliary equipment needs to be installed, the decorative cover 610 and its matching adapter are removed at the same time, the other auxiliary equipment is replaced, and the circuit connection is completed accordingly through the electrical connection wire 143.

[0067] See Figure 12 The switch button 620 can be an emergency button electrically connected to the emergency LED driver 142. When pressed, it enters the emergency drive mode, that is, it uses an energy storage element to power the light-emitting component 200. In some embodiments, the emergency button is mounted on the reflector 120, and the reflector 120 is correspondingly provided with an opening for mounting the emergency button.

[0068] See Figure 13The switch button 620, as an auxiliary device, is fixed in the mounting hole 502 of the adapter 500. The switch button 620 and the adapter 500 are fixed together. The switch button 620 has a terminal for connecting to the electrical connection line 143. The terminal is connected to the electrical connection line 143. Then the adapter 500 is fixed to the assembly part 460, completing the replacement of the auxiliary device.

[0069] See Figure 14 As an auxiliary device, sensor 630 passes through and is fixed in mounting hole 502 of adapter 500. Sensor 630 and adapter 500 are fixed together. Sensor 630 has a terminal for connecting to electrical connection line 143. The terminal is connected to electrical connection line 143, and then adapter 500 is fixed to assembly part 460. Sensor 630 can be optionally equipped with embedded oval sensor 630 and embedded square sensor 630, and the shape of mounting hole 502 is different accordingly.

[0070] See Figure 15 The sensor 630, as an auxiliary device, is specifically selected as an earphone jack type sensor 630. The earphone jack type sensor 630 includes a detection head 631, a hollow bolt 633 fixed to the detection head 631, and a mounting nut 634. The detection head 631 extends through the hollow bolt 633 as a terminal, which is used for circuit connection with the electrical connection wire 143. The mounting nut 634 passes through the mounting hole 502 of the adapter 500. The mounting nut 634 and the hollow bolt 633 are fixed to the adapter 500 through threaded engagement, completing the fixation of the earphone jack type sensor 630 and the adapter 500. Subsequently, the adapter 500 is fixed to the assembly part 460.
