Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting structure technology, and in particular to a communication module mounting structure and a lighting fixture including the mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, lighting fixtures today no longer only have the function of ordinary illumination. For example, many lighting fixtures now have communication modules installed. A communication module is a functional module that receives signals and controls the lighting fixture through Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared sensing, etc., to realize various functions and enrich the user experience.

[0003] Currently, communication modules used in lighting fixtures generally include a circuit board and circuit components mounted on it. To ensure the communication module is securely installed on the fixture and not easily damaged, a mounting bracket has been developed. However, these brackets are typically specialized and can only be used for specific functional modules. Therefore, when assembling lighting fixtures, various mounting brackets of different sizes must be prepared to accommodate different functional modules, which is detrimental to reducing production costs and improving assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose an installation structure for a communication module, which aims to solve the technical problem that the mounting base in the prior art is not compatible with the installation of various communication modules.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an installation structure for a communication module, including a base plate. The base plate is provided with: a limiting structure, which includes a first limiting component, which includes at least two first limiting members spaced apart, forming an accommodating space between the two first limiting members, and the two first limiting members are used to restrict the communication module from moving to both sides; and a pressing structure, which is movably disposed on the base plate. The pressing structure corresponds to the limiting structure in position, so that when the communication module is located in the accommodating space, the pressing structure presses the communication module onto the base plate.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Currently, some communication modules on the market have the same width but different lengths. Based on this, this invention provides at least two first limiting members on the base plate to restrict the communication module from moving to either side, i.e., restricting its movement along the width of the circuit board. Then, a clamping structure presses the communication module firmly onto the base plate, completing the installation. In this invention, communication modules of various specifications with the same circuit board width but different lengths can be installed within the accommodating space and pressed firmly onto the base plate by the clamping structure. This expands the adaptability of the installation structure, reduces production costs, and improves the installation efficiency of the communication module.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting structure further includes at least two second limiting members, which are symmetrically arranged about plane a, and the distance between the two second limiting members is L2; ​​the two first limiting members in the first limiting assembly are also symmetrically arranged about plane a, and the distance between the two first limiting members is L1, where L1 > L2. In a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two first limiting members and parallel to the base plate, the first limiting members and the second limiting members are staggered, which is beneficial to expanding the adaptability range of the installation structure, further reducing costs and improving the assembly efficiency of the lamp.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting structure further includes at least two third limiting members. The third limiting members and the second limiting members are respectively disposed near the two ends of the base plate. The two third limiting members and the two second limiting members are symmetrically arranged about the same plane a. The distance between the two third limiting members is L3, where L3 = L2. The first limiting member is disposed between the second limiting member and the third limiting member, which is beneficial to further expand the adaptability range of the installation structure, further reduce costs, and improve the assembly efficiency of the lamp.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping structure includes multiple clamping components. The first limiting component, the second limiting component, and the third limiting component are all provided with clamping components on the side near the accommodating space. The first limiting component, the second limiting component, and the third limiting component are bendable. The clamping components are provided with guide slopes. The guide slopes are inclined from bottom to top in the direction from near to far from the accommodating space, which is conducive to integrating the limiting and clamping functional structures, saving space and materials.

[0010] Preferably, the base plate is further provided with a support structure, which includes a first support member located within the accommodating space. The first support member is arranged on both sides near the accommodating space. The first support member is used to support the circuit board of the communication module. The clamping structure is used to clamp the circuit board onto the first support member, protecting the connectors on the circuit board and helping to extend the service life of the communication module.

[0011] Preferably, the supporting structure further includes a second supporting member for supporting the end of the communication module, and the base plate is provided with the second supporting member at least one end. The limiting structure further includes a fourth limiting member for limiting the movement of the communication module to both ends. The second supporting member is provided with the fourth limiting member, which can more securely mount the circuit board on the mounting structure and prevent the circuit board from bending and deforming.

[0012] Preferably, two second support members are arranged at intervals near one end of the base plate, and one second support member is provided near the other end of the base plate.

[0013] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a connecting part for connecting to the lamp.

[0014] This utility model also discloses a lamp, including a lamp body and the above-mentioned communication module mounting structure.

[0015] Preferably, the lamp further includes a communication module, which includes a circuit board and a connector disposed on the circuit board. The base plate is also provided with a support structure, which includes a first support member located within the accommodating space. The height H1 of the first support member is the same as the height H2 of the connector, which can protect the circuit board to a greater extent. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an installation structure for a communication module includes a base plate 1. The base plate 1 is provided with: a limiting structure 2, the limiting structure 2 including a first limiting component 25, the first limiting component 25 including at least two first limiting members 21 spaced apart, and an accommodating space 11 formed between the two first limiting members 21, the two first limiting members 21 being used to restrict the communication module from moving to both sides; and a pressing structure 3, the pressing structure 3 being movably disposed on the base plate 1, the pressing structure 3 corresponding to the limiting structure 2, such that when the communication module is located within the accommodating space 11, the pressing structure 3 presses the communication module onto the base plate 1.

[0034] Currently, some communication modules on the market have the same width but different lengths. Based on this, in this invention, at least two first limiting members 21 are provided on the base plate 1 to restrict the communication module from moving to either side, i.e., to moving the communication module in the width direction of the circuit board. Then, the clamping structure 3 presses the communication module firmly onto the base plate 1, completing the installation of the communication module. In this invention, communication modules of various specifications with the same circuit board width but different lengths can be installed within the accommodating space 11 and pressed firmly onto the base plate 1 by the clamping structure 3. This facilitates expanding the adaptability of the installation structure, reducing production costs, and improving the installation efficiency of the communication module.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The limiting structure 2 also includes at least two second limiting members 22, which are symmetrically arranged in plane a, and the distance between the two second limiting members 22 is L2; ​​the two first limiting members 21 in the first limiting assembly 25 are also symmetrically arranged about plane a, and the distance between the two first limiting members 21 is L1, L1>L2. In the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two first limiting members 21 and parallel to the bottom plate 1, the first limiting members 21 and the second limiting members 22 are staggered.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Currently, there are various communication modules on the market. Their circuit boards have the same width but different lengths. Here, this type of circuit board is referred to as the first circuit board 10. During installation, the first circuit board 10 corresponds to the first limiting member 21. The distance L1 between the two first limiting members 21 can provide appropriate lateral limiting for the first circuit board 10.

[0037] refer to Figure 7 In another existing communication module, the circuit board consists of two main boards of different widths arranged sequentially. The wider main board has a width comparable to that of the first circuit board 10. This type of circuit board is referred to as the second circuit board 20. The first limiting member 21 and the second limiting member 22 provided in this embodiment can respectively limit the two main boards of the wider and narrower sections of the second circuit board 20 from both sides. This allows the mounting structure to accommodate at least one more communication module, which is beneficial for expanding the adaptability of the mounting structure, further reducing costs, and improving the assembly efficiency of the lighting fixtures.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The limiting structure 2 also includes at least two third limiting members 23. The third limiting members 23 and the second limiting member 22 are respectively located near the two ends of the base plate 1. The two third limiting members 23 are symmetrically arranged about plane a. The distance between the two third limiting members 23 is L3, L3 = L2. The first limiting member 21 is located between the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23.

[0039] refer to Figure 8 At least one other existing communication module has a circuit board that is longer but narrower, with a width comparable to the narrower main body of the second circuit board 20. This type of circuit board is referred to here as the third circuit board 30. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23 limit the sides of the third circuit board 30 near both ends, allowing the mounting structure to accommodate at least one more communication module. This further expands the adaptability of the mounting structure, reduces costs, and improves the assembly efficiency of the lighting fixture.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23 are used simultaneously to limit the side positions of the third circuit board 30 near both ends, which is beneficial to provide a more stable limiting effect on this relatively slender circuit board and to maintain the relative position stability of the third circuit board 30 and the base plate 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22, and the third limiting member 23 are arranged in pairs symmetrically about plane a. This facilitates the neat arrangement of the various parts of the mounting structure and makes installation convenient. However, in other embodiments, this arrangement is not necessary. Taking the paired first limiting members 21 as an example, as long as the two first limiting members 21 are positioned close to both sides of the base plate 1 and their positional deviation along the length of the base plate 1 is small, they can stably restrict the communication module from moving to either side. Even in some other embodiments, the number of first limiting members 21 on both sides of the base plate 1 does not need to be the same. For example, one side of the base plate 1 may have one first limiting member 21, and the other side may have two first limiting members 21, as long as the movement of the communication module to either side is restricted. The same principle applies to the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plurality of first limiting components 25 are provided on the base plate 1. Each first limiting component 25 includes two first limiting members 21. The two first limiting members 21 within the same first limiting component 25 are symmetrically arranged about plane a. The plurality of first limiting components 25 are arranged at intervals and are all located between the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23.

[0043] As described above, this design facilitates the installation of circuit boards of varying lengths for communication modules, ensuring that circuit boards of different lengths can be securely mounted at this location. Furthermore, some circuit boards comprise multiple main boards, and the connections between these main boards may be fragile. The first limiting member 21 provided in this embodiment helps to support different main boards on the same circuit board as much as possible, thus extending the lifespan of the circuit board and the communication module.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The pressing structure 3 includes multiple pressing members 31. The first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23 are all provided with pressing members 31 on the side near the accommodating space 11. The first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23 are bendable. The pressing member 31 is provided with a guide slope 311. The guide slope 311 is inclined from bottom to top in the direction from near to far from the accommodating space 11.

[0045] By distributing multiple clamping members 31 on the first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22, and the third limiting member 23, it is beneficial to integrate the two functional structures of limiting and clamping, saving space and materials. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22, and the third limiting member 23 have a certain bending capacity, thus enabling the clamping members 31 disposed on them to be movable. Taking the communication module with the first circuit board 10 as an example, the specific installation process is as follows: the communication module is moved from above the accommodating space 11 to the accommodating space 11. During this process, the circuit board of the communication module is pressed against the guide slope 311, causing the first limiting member 21 to bend moderately, so that the communication module can continue to move until the circuit board reaches the side of the clamping member 31 on the first limiting member 21 that is close to the base plate 1. At this time, the circuit board is pressed onto the base plate 1 by the clamping member 31.

[0046] In other embodiments, the clamping structure 3 can be movably connected to the base plate 1 by means of screws, clips, or even slide rails, as long as the communication module can be clamped onto the base plate 1 after it is placed in the accommodating space 11.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The base plate 1 is also provided with a support structure 4, which includes a first support member 41 located in the accommodating space 11. The first support member 41 is arranged on both sides near the accommodating space 11. The first support member 41 is used to support the circuit board of the communication module. The pressing structure 3 is used to press the circuit board onto the first support member 41.

[0048] The main purpose of setting up the support structure 4 is to lift up the circuit board of the communication module so that the connector 40 on the circuit board is not excessively squeezed or even not squeezed at all, thus protecting the connector 40 on the circuit board and helping to extend the service life of the communication module.

[0049] The base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of first support members 41, which are arranged close to the edge of the accommodating space 11 to avoid excessive compression of the sensitive position in the middle part of the circuit board.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The supporting structure 4 also includes a second supporting member 42 for supporting the end of the communication module. The base plate 1 has the second supporting member 42 at at least one end. The limiting structure 2 also includes a fourth limiting member 24 for limiting the movement of the communication module to both ends. The second supporting member 42 has the fourth limiting member 24.

[0051] For longer circuit boards, such as the second circuit board 20 and the third circuit board 30 mentioned above, a second support member 42 is provided to support their ends, enabling them to be more securely mounted on the mounting structure and preventing bending and deformation. A fourth limiting member 24 is provided on the second support member 42 to restrict the movement of the circuit board along its length, which is beneficial for accurate positioning of the circuit board during installation. In this embodiment, the distance between the second support members 42 responsible for supporting both ends of the communication module is determined based on the length of the longest circuit board that can be installed when manufacturing the mounting structure. The relative positional relationships between the different third limiting members 23 provided on the second support member 42 are also set according to this principle.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 10 Two second support members 42 are arranged at intervals on one end of the base plate 1, and a second support member 42 is provided on the other end of the base plate 1.

[0053] Second support members 42 are provided at both ends of the base plate 1, which is beneficial for supporting and positioning long strip mounting plates such as the third mounting plate mentioned above, and preventing deformation. In addition, two second support members 42 are arranged at intervals near one end of the base plate 1. Specifically, after the communication module is installed, the position of the connector 40 on the circuit board is directly opposite the space between the two second support members 42. The two second support members 42 are arranged at intervals to avoid the signal lines connected to the connector 40 of the circuit board, making the installation of the communication module more convenient and further improving the installation efficiency of the communication module and the assembly efficiency of the lamp.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The base plate 1 is provided with a connecting part 12 for connecting with the lamp.

[0055] Regarding the connecting part 12, at least the following embodiments exist:

[0056] 1. Mounting plates are provided on both sides of the base plate 1. Mounting holes are provided on the mounting plates for mounting the base plate 1 onto the lamp.

[0057] The base plate 1 can be detachably connected to the lamp via the mounting plate and mounting holes, which is beneficial for maintenance and replacement.

[0058] 2. The bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with an adhesive layer.

[0059] The adhesive layer allows for easy and secure fixation of the base plate 1 to the light fixture.

[0060] This embodiment also discloses a lamp, see reference. Figure 11This includes the lamp body 100 and the mounting structure of the aforementioned communication module.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 11 The lighting fixture also includes a communication module, which includes a circuit board and a connector 40 on the circuit board. The base plate 1 is also provided with a support structure 4, which includes a first support member 41 located in the accommodating space 11. The height H1 of the first support member 41 is the same as the height H2 of the connector 40.

[0062] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 The height H1 of the first support member 41 is the same as the height H2 of the connector 40. This allows the first support member 41 to support the circuit board and reduce the pressure of the circuit board on the connector 40. It also prevents the connector 40 from completely leaving the base plate 1 and becoming suspended, reducing the possibility of it falling off the circuit board and thus protecting the circuit board to a greater extent. Similarly, the height H3 of the second support member 42 is also the same as the height H2 of the connector 40.

[0063] The communication module mentioned in this embodiment refers to a communication module having the first circuit board 10, the second circuit board 20, or the third circuit board 30 described above.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
