Description
A multi-purpose hanger and ceiling mounting structure Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting installation technology, and in particular to a hanging rod installation and ceiling mounting structure for use in multiple occasions. Background Technology
[0002] LED lighting fixtures are a general term for LED lamps, referring to devices that can transmit, distribute, and change the light distribution of LED light sources. This includes all components and parts necessary for fixing and protecting the LED light source, excluding the LED light itself, as well as the necessary wiring accessories for power connection. Ceiling installation involves suspending the lamp from the ceiling using chains or poles; chandeliers are typically installed in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Surface mounting, on the other hand, involves installing the lamp directly onto the ceiling. Surface mounting lamps offer fewer design options, are cheaper, and are easier to install. However, existing conventional ceiling-mounted lamp brackets cannot accommodate American-style junction boxes, limiting their applicability. Furthermore, ceiling-mounted brackets cannot be shared with surface-mounted brackets, further restricting their application and limiting installation methods. Additionally, installing lamps often requires lifting the LED lamp and aligning the screw holes before inserting the screws, which is laborious and particularly troublesome for heavier or larger LED lamps. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hanging rod installation and ceiling mounting structure that can be used in multiple occasions. It can meet the needs of lighting installation in different occasions and freely switch between ceiling installation and ceiling mounting, making the lighting fixture mounting method more flexible and versatile, with stronger applicability. In addition, it can be used with American standard junction boxes, increasing the application range of its corresponding junction boxes, and making it easier to install the lighting fixtures on the bracket.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a multi-purpose hanging rod and ceiling-mounted installation structure is provided, comprising: a connecting frame, wherein an LED light fixture is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the connecting frame; a plurality of U-shaped mounting brackets are equidistantly mounted on the top of the connecting frame; a plurality of snap-fit slots are symmetrically formed on the bottom of the front and rear sides of each U-shaped mounting bracket, and a first self-tapping screw is fitted into each snap-fit slot; the opposite sides of the first self-tapping screws pass through the U-shaped mounting brackets and are threaded into them; a positioning assembly hole is formed at the center of the top of each U-shaped mounting bracket; eight holes are formed around the outer side of the positioning assembly hole on the top of each U-shaped mounting bracket; a wiring groove is formed at the center of the top of the connecting frame, and a wiring is installed in the wiring groove; and a U-shaped mounting bracket is located in the middle of the top side of the connecting frame. The mounting bracket connects to ceiling mounting components, and the U-shaped mounting brackets located on the top left and right sides of the connecting frame connect to ceiling mounting components. By setting the U-shaped mounting brackets and opening eight holes on their top surfaces, they can be used with American standard junction boxes, making them more versatile and applicable. Furthermore, the installation method can be flexibly adjusted according to the installation position of the U-shaped mounting brackets, allowing for flexible switching between ceiling rod installation and ceiling mounting methods to meet the lighting assembly needs of different users. At the same time, the use of self-tapping screws also meets the needs of specific installation occasions. The snap-fit slots opened on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped mounting brackets can quickly hook the corresponding screws on the lighting fixture, making it easier to install the lighting fixture on the bracket, eliminating the need to first lift the LED lighting fixture and ensure the screw holes are aligned before inserting the screws.
[0005] According to the aforementioned multi-purpose pendant and ceiling-mounted installation structure, the ceiling-mounted assembly consists of a pendant, a washer, and a nut. The pendant is hollow, with its top end fixed to the ceiling and its bottom end inserted into a positioning assembly hole and fixedly connected to a U-shaped mounting bracket via the washer and nut. This allows for rapid ceiling-mounted installation of light fixtures.
[0006] According to the aforementioned multi-purpose hanging rod and ceiling-mounted installation structure, the ceiling-mounted assembly consists of pre-drilled holes, rubber plugs, and fastening screws. The pre-drilled holes are made in the ceiling using a handheld drill and are positioned directly above the U-shaped mounting bracket. The top of the rubber plug is screwed into the pre-drilled hole to secure it to the ceiling. The U-shaped mounting bracket is screwed into the eight holes corresponding to the outer bottom of the rubber plug, ensuring it fits snugly against the ceiling. The fastening screws secure the U-shaped mounting bracket upwards through the rubber plugs. This allows for rapid ceiling-mounted installation of the light fixture.
[0007] According to the aforementioned multi-purpose hanging rod and ceiling-mounted installation structure, the wiring is connected to the external wire via a terminal cover inside the U-shaped mounting bracket. Side cover plates are slidably fitted on both sides of the U-shaped mounting bracket, and each opposite front end of the side cover plate is threaded with a second self-tapping screw. The rear end of the second self-tapping screw passes through the U-shaped mounting bracket and is threaded into it. This provides quick isolation and protection of the wiring terminals during ceiling installation, facilitating later maintenance.
[0008] According to the aforementioned multi-purpose hanging rod and ceiling-mounted installation structure, the wiring is connected to the external wire via a terminal cover. The outer isolation frame of the wiring is equipped with a corrugated insulating sleeve, and the upper and lower sides of the corrugated insulating sleeve are fixedly connected to the ceiling and the U-shaped mounting bracket, respectively. This design provides isolation and protection for the wiring terminals during ceiling-mounted installation and also offers a degree of length adjustment.
[0009] According to the aforementioned multi-purpose hanging rod and ceiling mounting structure, the U-shaped mounting bracket has knock-out holes on both its front and rear sides, as well as on opposite sides of the side cover plate. This can meet the requirements for multi-angle side wiring exit.
[0010] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this invention, a U-shaped mounting bracket with eight holes on its top surface is designed to be compatible with US standard junction boxes, making it more versatile and applicable. The mounting method can be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the U-shaped bracket, allowing for switching between ceiling-mounted and suspended ceiling mounting to meet the different lighting assembly needs of various users. The use of self-tapping screws also caters to specific installation scenarios, such as wooden ceilings and steel-framed factories. Installation is quick and easy; when fixing the lighting fixture, the product can be installed on the ceiling first, and then the fixture housing can be assembled according to the corresponding snap-fit slots 4. This is much easier and more convenient than the ordinary drilling and screwing method. Furthermore, the mounting bracket and side cover have knock-out holes on their sides to accommodate multi-angle side wiring requirements.
[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
