Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of downlight technology, specifically to a lamp that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] Downlights, as a common type of recessed lighting device, typically employ a spring-loaded fixing structure to achieve a quick connection between the luminaire and the mounting base. In existing technology, the spring-loaded fixing structure on downlights generally achieves elastic engagement between the luminaire and the mounting base through pre-tension. A typical structure includes U-shaped brackets and torsion springs on both sides of the luminaire body. The U-shaped brackets are connected to the torsion springs and are driven by the torsion springs to have a pre-tension force for engaging with the mounting base. During installation, the U-shaped brackets need to be pushed upwards by hand to overcome the torsion spring force, allowing the U-shaped brackets and the upper part of the luminaire body to extend into the mounting hole of the mounting base. Then, the U-shaped brackets are released, and under the action of the torsion spring, they swing downwards and engage with the inner wall of the mounting base, thus fixing the luminaire to the mounting base. After the luminaire body is passed through the mounting hole, the hand needs to release the U-shaped brackets. At this time, the torsion spring will cause the U-shaped brackets to swing downwards rapidly, which can easily trap fingers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the background art and provide a lamp that is easy to install, which can improve the problem of hand pinching during lamp installation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] Technical Solution 1: A lamp fixture that is easy to install, suitable for installation onto a substrate having mounting holes, comprising a lamp body with an outwardly extending abutting flange at its bottom; at least two elastic clips rotatable relative to the lamp body, the elastic clips moving in a first position and a second position; in the first position, the elastic clips are opened upward and adapted to pass through the mounting holes; in the second position, the elastic clips are pressed downward against the upper surface of the substrate under elastic force, and the abutting flange abuts upward against the lower surface of the substrate; and a sliding member, the sliding member slidingly engaged with the lamp body in a vertical direction and moving in a third position on the upper side and a fourth position on the lower side; in the third position, the sliding member pushes upward against the elastic clip in the first position and receives force from the elastic clip to maintain its position in the third position through frictional engagement with the lamp body; in the fourth position, the elastic clip is allowed to be in the second position.
[0006] Technical solution two based on technical solution one: The sliding member is provided with an outwardly extending pressing part, which is adapted to abut against the lower surface of the substrate to provide the sliding member with a force to overcome friction and move downward.
[0007] Technical solution three based on technical solution two: The upper surface of the abutting flange is provided with a recessed receiving groove corresponding to the pressing part, and the pressing part completely falls into the receiving groove when the sliding member is in the fourth position.
[0008] Technical Solution 4 based on Technical Solution 3: The elastic clip includes an elastic element and a stop arm. The stop arm is adapted to rotate relative to the lamp body and be pushed upward by the sliding element. The elastic element is adapted to apply a force to the stop arm to make it rotate downward. The sliding element is at least outward relative to the lamp body at the part corresponding to the elastic clip to form a clearance space that does not interfere with the elastic element.
[0009] Technical solution five based on technical solution four: The sliding member is provided with at least two sliding joints arranged circumferentially along the lamp body and used for sliding cooperation with the lamp body, and the clearance space is formed between the two sliding joints.
[0010] Technical solution six based on technical solution five: The lamp body is provided with a sliding seat for sliding cooperation with the sliding member, and the two sliding parts on the sliding member are provided with sliding grooves with opposite openings; the sliding seat extends into the corresponding sliding grooves on both sides of the lamp body in the circumferential direction.
[0011] Technical solution seven based on technical solution six: The slider is configured to use its own elastic deformation to clamp the sliding seat between its two sliding grooves.
[0012] Technical solution eight based on technical solution one: The lamp body has a protruding blocking part, which is located on the sliding path of the slider in the vertical direction and is configured to prevent the slider from sliding upward to disengage from the sliding rod by abutting against the slider.
[0013] Technical solution nine based on technical solution eight: The lamp body is provided with a limiting part located below the sliding member, and the limiting part is configured to stop the sliding member in a fourth position by abutting against the sliding member.
[0014] Based on any one of technical solutions one to nine, technical solution ten: at least two sliding members are provided corresponding to the elastic clips.
[0015] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] Technical solution one provides an easy-to-install lamp, which mainly includes a lamp body, a flexible clip, and a sliding member. The lamp can be installed into the mounting hole of a substrate, and the lamp is fixed to the substrate by the clamping of the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate by the flexible clip and the lamp body. The sliding member can slide up and down relative to the lamp body, and the sliding member can abut against the flexible clip upwards. Specifically, before installing the lamp, first open the elastic clip upwards and hold it in the first position. Then slide the slider upwards to the third position. Once the slider is in the third position and abuts against the elastic clip, release the elastic clip. Under the action of the elastic force, the elastic clip will tend to swing downwards relative to the lamp body. However, at this time, the slider is below the elastic clip, and the elastic clip will apply a downward force to the slider relative to the lamp body. This force can be divided into two components: downward and outward. The downward component will push the slider downwards, while the outward component will cause the slider to press tightly against the lamp body, forming a frictional force that hinders the downward sliding of the slider through frictional engagement. When this frictional force is greater than the downward component of the elastic clip's force on the slider, the slider will hold the elastic clip in place, keeping the elastic clip in the first position. Afterwards, the lamp with the elastic clip in the first position can be passed through the mounting hole on the substrate. At this time, no force needs to be applied to the elastic clip, and the installer can hold other parts of the lamp away from the position of the elastic clip. After the lamp body passes through the mounting hole, the slider can be pulled down by hand to allow it to slide. The holding force on the elastic clip is released, and the elastic clip swings downwards. However, at this point, the installer's hand will not be in a position where the elastic clip can grip. Then, the slider slides down to the fourth position. In the fourth position, the slider does not interfere with the elastic clip, allowing the elastic clip to be in the second position. This allows the lamp to be clamped and fixed to the substrate through the interaction between the elastic clip and the abutment flange on the lamp body. With this structure, the lamp does not require constant force from the hand to keep the elastic clip open during installation, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, the installation process does not require contact with the clip, reducing the risk of hand pinching.
[0017] In technical solution two, an outwardly protruding pressing part is provided on the sliding component. After the lamp passes through the mounting hole, the pressing part will contact the lower surface of the substrate before the abutting flange. As the lamp continues to move upward under the force applied by the installer, the lower surface of the substrate will exert a downward force on the pressing part, which in turn exerts a downward force on the sliding component, thereby causing the sliding component to slide downward away from the third position. This releases the sliding component from the elastic clip, allowing the elastic clip to swing downward to abut the upper surface of the substrate. By providing the pressing part, during the lamp installation process, simply pushing the lamp body into place will automatically complete the downward sliding of the sliding component and the fixation of the elastic clip, enabling one-handed operation and making the lamp installation more convenient and faster.
[0018] In technical solution three, a receiving groove is provided on the abutting flange, and the pressing part can fall completely into the receiving groove, so that the abutting flange can fully contact the lower surface of the substrate, avoiding the formation of a gap between the upper surface of the abutting flange and the lower surface of the substrate due to the influence of the pressing part, and the exposed part at the bottom of the lamp is flatter and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0019] In technical solution four, the elastic clamp consists of an elastic element and an abutment arm. The sliding element makes way outward to form a clearance space. The clearance space can ensure that the sliding element will not interfere with the elastic element when sliding up and down, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the sliding element and the elastic clamp.
[0020] In technical solution five, at least two sliding joints are provided on the slider for sliding cooperation with the lamp body. The multiple sliding joints make the slider slide more stably on the lamp body, reduce slider wobbling, and generate sufficient friction between the slider and the lamp body when subjected to the force of the elastic clamp. At the same time, the clearance space is set between the two sliding joints, making the overall structural design of the slider more reasonable and ensuring the structural strength and functional realization of the slider itself.
[0021] In technical solution six, the lamp body is equipped with a sliding seat for sliding engagement with the sliding component. Simultaneously, the sliding part of the sliding component has a sliding groove, and the edge of the sliding seat can extend into the sliding groove to form a guide rail structure, guiding the sliding component's up-and-down movement and further improving sliding stability. Furthermore, when the sliding component is subjected to force from an elastic clamp, one side wall of the sliding groove can tightly adhere to the sliding seat, thereby generating sufficient friction to prevent the sliding component from sliding down.
[0022] In technical solution seven, the sliding member can use its own elastic deformation to clamp the sliding seat between two sliding grooves. The clamping force generated by the elastic deformation of the sliding member can increase the friction between the sliding member and the sliding seat. At the same time, the clamping is achieved by using elastic deformation. The sliding member can be easily installed on the sliding seat, and the structural design is more simplified.
[0023] In technical solution eight, a blocking part is provided on the lamp body to limit the upward sliding stroke of the slider and prevent the slider from disengaging from the lamp body.
[0024] In technical solution nine, the lamp body is provided with a limiting part to restrict the downward sliding stroke of the slider and to precisely limit the slider to stop at the fourth position, so as to avoid interference between the slider and the elastic clip.
[0025] In technical solution ten, multiple sliding parts are set, and each sliding part corresponds to a one-to-one elastic clip. The overall structure is simple, which can ensure that each elastic clip can be limited by the sliding parts. The sliding parts have a better holding effect on the elastic clips and are easy to install, thus reducing the overall production cost of the lamp. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Example
[0045] This utility model embodiment relates to a lamp 20 that is easy to install, see reference. Figure 1 The lamp 20 includes a lamp body 21, a flexible clip 22, and a slider 30.
[0046] The lamp 20 is suitable for mounting on a substrate 10 with mounting holes 11, as detailed in the following reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the mating relationship between the luminaire 20 and the substrate 10 in two different states. Typically, the luminaire 20 can be a downlight, and the substrate 10 is generally a ceiling panel. Therefore, the upper and lower sides of the substrate 10 form the upper and lower surfaces, respectively. Mounting holes 11 can be formed on the substrate 10, allowing the luminaire 20 to be fixedly installed in the mounting holes 11 through the engagement of the lamp body 21 and the elastic clip 22. It should be understood that... Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The diagram shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual application scenario. To facilitate the explanation of the installation process of the easy-to-install lamp 20 involved in this utility model embodiment, some of the structures have been simplified and adjusted. The dimensional and positional relationships between the mounting hole 11 and the elastic clip 22 should be based on the description in the instruction manual. The attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only.
[0047] The lamp body 21 of the lamp fixture 20 is generally cylindrical. In other embodiments, the shape of the lamp body 21 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as being cuboid or other shapes. However, generally speaking, the lamp body 21 has a shape with an extending structure in the vertical direction. Its bottom is a light outlet, and it houses the light-emitting device, controller, driver, etc. Its top generally has a heat dissipation device, and a wire can extend outward from the top to connect to an external power supply device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The lamp body 21 has an outwardly extending abutting flange 23 at its bottom. The term "outwardly extending" as used in this specification and claims refers to its position relative to the space occupied by the lamp body 21; the direction towards the interior of the lamp body 21 is inward, and the direction away from the lamp body 21 and towards the outside is outward. The abutting flange 23 is larger than the mounting hole 11 on the substrate 10, allowing the abutting flange 23 to completely cover the mounting hole 11 and to abut against the lower surface of the substrate 10 outside the mounting hole 11.
[0048] The lamp 20 includes at least two elastic clips 22, which are rotatable relative to the lamp body 21. In this embodiment, the number of elastic clips 22 is set to two, and these two elastic clips 22 are symmetrically arranged at a distance of 180° from each other. (Refer to...) Figure 1The elastic clip 22 includes an elastic element 221 and an abutment arm 222. The elastic element 221 is mounted on the lamp body 21, and the abutment arm 222 is integrally formed with the elastic element 221 or has a connection relationship with it. The elastic clip 22 can rotate relative to the lamp body 21, mainly referring to the abutment arm 222 being able to rotate relative to the lamp body 21. The elastic element 221 basically only undergoes deformation rather than a change in position relative to the lamp body 21. Therefore, based on the elastic element 221 being mounted on the lamp body 21, the abutment arm 222 can be directly rotatably connected to the lamp body 21 through a rotating shaft or other structure, or it can indirectly achieve relative rotation with the lamp body 21 through the cooperation between the elastic element 221 and the lamp body 21. Specifically, the elastic element 221 can be set as a torsion spring. The torsion spring is mounted on the lamp body 21 as a whole through a shaft formed in the lamp body 21, and one end of the torsion spring is fixed to the lamp body 21, while the other end is connected to the abutment arm 222. In typical designs, torsion springs are usually made of metal, and the abutment arm 222 is also made of metal; therefore, the torsion spring and the abutment arm 222 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, in other installation methods, a square-shaped extension can be directly extended from the torsion spring. This extension can be inserted into a corresponding slot in the lamp body 21. Under the limiting action of this slot, the elastic element 221 can be fixedly mounted on the lamp body 21. At the same time, utilizing the elastic force of the elastic element 221 itself, the abutment arm 222 can also rotate relative to the lamp body 21. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The elastic element 221 is located near the lamp body 21, and the abutment arm 222 extends outward relative to the lamp body 21. A buffer sleeve can be provided at the free end of the abutment arm 222. The buffer sleeve can be made of materials such as plastic or rubber to increase the contact area between the free end of the abutment arm 222 and the upper surface of the substrate 10.
[0049] The elastic clip 22 can move to a first position and a second position, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the first position, the elastic clip 22 extends upward and is in an open state, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the second position, the elastic clip 22 swings downward to extend outward and downward. Furthermore, when the elastic clip 22 is in the first position, it opens upward so that the horizontal dimension of the lamp 20 is smaller than the size of the mounting hole 11, allowing the lamp 20 to pass through the mounting hole 11 and the elastic clip 22 to enter the space above the substrate 10. In the second position, the elastic clip 22 swings downward under the elastic action of the elastic member 221, and the abutment arm 222 presses downward against the upper surface of the substrate 10. Simultaneously, the reaction force of the upper surface of the substrate 10 on the elastic clip 22 causes the lamp body 21 to move upward until the abutment flange 23 abuts against the lower surface of the substrate 10. At this point, with the cooperation of the elastic clip 22 and the abutment flange 23, the lamp 20 can be fixed to the substrate 10.
[0050] Reference Figure 1 The slider 30 in the lamp 20 slides and engages with the lamp body 21 in the vertical direction and moves to a third position on the upper side and a fourth position on the lower side. In the third position, the slider 30 pushes upward against the elastic clip 22 in the first position and receives force from the elastic clip 22 to maintain its position in the third position through frictional engagement with the lamp body 21. In the fourth position, the elastic clip 22 is allowed to be in the second position.
[0051] In this embodiment, at least two sliding members 30 are provided corresponding to each elastic clip 22. In this embodiment, there are two elastic clips 22, therefore two corresponding sliding members 30 are provided. This arrangement has a simple overall structure, ensuring that each elastic clip 22 can be limited by the sliding member 30. The sliding member 30 provides better support for the elastic clip 22 and facilitates its installation, reducing the overall production cost of the lamp 20. Of course, in other embodiments, a ring-shaped sliding member 30 can be provided around the outside of the lamp body 21, which can also serve to limit the elastic clip 22.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding member 30 is slidably mounted on the lamp body 21 and can be slidably mounted on the lamp body 21. Figure 2 The third position and Figure 3 The movement is between the fourth position. In this embodiment, the slider 30 is provided with at least two sliding parts 34 arranged circumferentially along the lamp body 21 and used for sliding engagement with the lamp body 21; the lamp body 21 is provided with a sliding seat 24 for sliding engagement with the slider 30, and the two sliding parts 34 on the slider 30 are provided with sliding grooves 341 with opposite openings; the sliding seat 24 extends into the corresponding sliding grooves 341 on both sides of the circumferential direction of the lamp body 21.
[0053] Specifically, a stepped structure is provided on the upper part of the outer shell of the lamp body 21. Extending upwards from the upward-facing stepped surface of this structure is the aforementioned sliding seat 24. The sliding seat 24 is generally plate-shaped, and its two circumferential edges relative to the lamp body 21 can engage with the sliding parts 34 on the sliding member 30, allowing the sliding member 30 to slide relative to the lamp body 21 in the vertical direction. A shaft for mounting the elastic member 221 of the elastic clip 22 can be provided at the middle position of the sliding seat 24 in the vertical direction, thus positioning the elastic member 221 between the two sides of the sliding seat 24. The sliding member 30 is provided with two sliding parts 34 corresponding to the two sides of the sliding seat 24, as shown in the figure. Figure 1These two sliding portions 34 can be considered as ear-shaped structures extending circumferentially to both sides from the main body of the slider 30. Each sliding portion 34 has a sliding groove 341 with opposite openings. The two ends of the sliding groove 341 are open in the vertical direction, and the distance between the two side walls of the sliding groove 341 is approximately equal to the thickness of the sliding seat 24. This allows the two side edges of the sliding seat 24 to extend into the corresponding sliding groove 341, thereby guiding the slider 30 to slide vertically on the lamp body 21. At least two sliding portions 34 are provided on the slider 30 for sliding engagement with the lamp body 21. The multiple sliding portions 34 make the sliding of the slider 30 on the lamp body 21 more stable, reduce the shaking of the slider 30, and generate sufficient friction between the slider and the lamp body 21 when subjected to the force of the elastic clamp 22.
[0054] The portion between the two sliding parts 34 of the slider 30 is the main body of the slider 30. The upper end of the main body forms a supporting part 32. The supporting part 32 can abut against the elastic clip 22 when the slider 30 moves upward away from the fourth position. Alternatively, the elastic clip 22 can be moved upward to the first position first, and then the slider 30 can be slid upward to the third position, so that the supporting part 32 of the slider 30 abuts against the abutting arm 222 of the elastic clip 22. At this time, due to the specific positional relationship, the friction between the slider 30 and the sliding seat 24 and the elastic force of the elastic member 221 on the abutting arm 222 are just balanced, so that the elastic clip 22 is kept in the first position, and the slider 30 is kept in the third position.
[0055] The sliding member 30 is configured to use its own elastic deformation to clamp the sliding seat 24 between its two sliding grooves 341. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The sliding member 30 is at least partially offset from the lamp body 21 at the location corresponding to the elastic clip 22, forming an offset space 33 that does not interfere with the elastic member 221. The offset space 33 is formed between the two sliding portions 34. It is easy to understand that the outward offset of the sliding member 30 here means that the main body of the sliding member 30 is further outward relative to its two sliding portions 34. The two sliding portions 34 are formed by extending obliquely from the main body of the sliding member 30 toward the lamp body 21, thereby forming an offset space 33 between the sliding member 30 and the sliding seat 24 of the lamp body 21. At the same time, this structural design also gives the sliding member 30 a certain deformation capability, and its two sliding portions 34 can be pried open relative to its main body. When installing the slider 30 onto the sliding joint 34, one side edge of the slider seat 24 can be inserted into the corresponding sliding joint groove 341. Then, the slider 30 can be slightly pried open to make the sliding joint 34 on the other side larger. The other side edge of the slider seat 24 can then be inserted into the sliding joint groove 341 on the other side. Afterward, the slider 30 returns to its original shape, clamping the slider seat 24 between the two sliding joint grooves 341. Of course, in this "clamping" relationship between the slider 30 and the slider seat 24, the slider 30 does not need to exert any force on the slider seat 24; it only needs to ensure that the slider 30 does not detach from the circumference of the slider seat 24. Therefore, the lamp body 21 is provided with a slider seat 24 for sliding cooperation with the slider 30, and the sliding joint 34 of the slider 30 is provided with a sliding joint groove 341. The edge of the slider seat 24 can extend into the sliding joint groove 341 to form a guide rail structure, guiding the slider 30 to move up and down, further improving sliding stability. Simultaneously, when the slider 30 is subjected to force by the elastic clamp 22, one side of the sliding groove 341 can be tightly pressed against the sliding seat 24, thereby generating sufficient friction to prevent the slider 30 from sliding down. Furthermore, by forming the clearance space 33, it can be ensured that the slider 30 will not interfere with the elastic member 221 when sliding up and down, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the slider 30 and the elastic clamp 22.
[0056] In addition, refer to Figure 1 The lamp body 21 has a protruding blocking portion 242, which is located on the sliding path of the slider 30 in the vertical direction and is configured to prevent the slider 30 from sliding upward and disengaging from the sliding seat 24 by abutting against the slider 30. The lamp body 21 has a limiting portion 25 located below the slider 30, which is configured to stop the slider 30 in a fourth position by abutting against the slider 30.
[0057] Specifically, the blocking part 242 is located on the top of the sliding seat 24. It is a flange structure extending inward, so that the size of the top of the sliding seat 24 is greater than the thickness of its lower part. After the slider 30 slides upward beyond the third position, the sliding part 34 is limited by the blocking part 242 and cannot continue to slide upward, thereby limiting the upward sliding stroke of the slider 30 and preventing the slider 30 from disengaging from the lamp body 21. The limiting part 25 is the upward stepped surface of the stepped structure provided on the lamp body 21. When the slider 30 slides downward to the fourth position, the sliding part 34 of the slider 30 will abut against this stepped surface, thereby stopping the slider 30 at the fourth position and preventing it from sliding downward. Through the limiting part 25, the downward sliding stroke of the slider 30 can be limited, and the slider 30 can be precisely limited to stop at the fourth position, avoiding interference between the slider 30 and the elastic clip 22.
[0058] Furthermore, the slider 30 is provided with an outwardly extending pressing portion 31, which is adapted to abut against the lower surface of the substrate 10 upwardly to provide the slider 30 with a force that overcomes friction and moves downward. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pressing part 31 is a lug provided on the bottom edge of the main body of the sliding member 30 and extending outward relative to the lamp body 21. The outward extension length of the pressing part 31 is slightly shorter than the outward extension length of the abutting flange 23. However, the pressing part 31 can still abut against the lower surface of the substrate 10 during the process of the lamp 20 passing upward through the mounting hole 11. When the sliding member 30 is in the third position, the pressing part 31 will contact the lower surface of the substrate 10 before the abutting flange 23. As the lamp 20 continues to move upward under the force of the installer, the lower surface of the substrate 10 will apply a downward force to the pressing part 31, that is, apply a downward force to the sliding member 30, thereby driving the sliding member 30 to slide downward away from the third position, thereby removing the pressing of the sliding member 30 against the elastic clip 22, so that the elastic clip 22 can swing downward to abut against the upper surface of the substrate 10. By setting the pressing part 31, during the installation of the lamp 20, the sliding part 30 can be automatically lowered and the elastic clip 22 can be fixed automatically by simply pushing the lamp body 21 into place. This allows for one-handed operation, making the installation of the lamp 20 more convenient and faster.
[0059] Furthermore, the upper surface of the abutting flange 23 is provided with a recessed receiving groove 231 corresponding to the pressing part 31. The pressing part 31 completely falls into the receiving groove 231 when the sliding member 30 is in the fourth position. Specifically, the upper surface of the abutting flange 23 can be recessed downward to form a shallow groove structure. The upper surface of the groove wall on the outer side forms the upper edge 232 of the flange. When the lamp 20 is installed, it can abut against the lower surface of the substrate 10 through the upper edge 232 of the flange. At the same time, the groove structure on the abutting flange 23 can form the receiving groove 231. The depth of the receiving groove 231 is greater than the thickness of the pressing part 31, or the position of the upper edge 232 of the abutting flange 23 is higher than the upper surface of the pressing part 31 when the sliding member 30 is in the fourth position. Both of these conditions can make the pressing part 31 completely fall into the receiving groove 231. This configuration allows the abutment flange 23 to fully contact the lower surface of the substrate 10, preventing the formation of a gap between the upper surface of the abutment flange 23 and the lower surface of the substrate 10 due to the influence of the pressure abutment part 31, resulting in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing exposed portion at the bottom of the lamp 20.
[0060] This utility model embodiment relates to an easy-to-install lamp 20, which mainly includes a lamp body 21, an elastic clip 22, and a sliding member 30. The lamp 20 can be installed into the mounting hole 11 of the substrate 10, and the lamp 20 is fixed to the substrate 10 by the elastic clip 22 and the lamp body 21 clamping the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 10. The sliding member 30 can slide up and down relative to the lamp body 21, and the sliding member 30 can abut against the elastic clip 22 upwards. Specifically, before installing the lamp 20, the elastic clip 22 is first opened upwards and kept in the first position. Then, the slider 30 is slid upwards to the third position. After the slider 30 abuts against the elastic clip 22 in the third position, the elastic clip 22 can be released. Under the action of the elastic force, the elastic clip 22 will tend to swing downwards relative to the lamp body 21. However, at this time, the slider 30 is below the elastic clip 22. The elastic clip 22 will apply a downward force to the slider 30 and an outward force relative to the lamp body 21. This force can be divided into two components: downward and outward. The downward component will push the slider 30 down, and the outward component will make the slider 30 stick tightly to the lamp body 21 and form a frictional force between it and the lamp body 21 through frictional cooperation, which will prevent the slider 30 from sliding downwards. When this frictional force is greater than the downward component of the elastic clip 22 on the slider 30, the slider 30 can hold the elastic clip 22 in place, keeping the elastic clip 22 in the first position. Afterwards, the lamp 20, with the elastic clip 22 held in the first position, can be passed through the mounting hole 11 on the substrate 10. At this point, no force needs to be applied to the elastic clip 22, and the installer can hold other parts of the lamp 20, avoiding the position of the elastic clip 22. Once the lamp body 21 has passed through the mounting hole 11, the slider 30 can be pulled down by hand to allow it to slide. The holding force on the elastic clip 22 is removed, and the elastic clip 22 swings downwards. However, at this time, the installer's hand will not be in a position where the elastic clip 22 can grip. Then, the slider 30 slides down to the fourth position. When the slider 30 is in the fourth position, it will not interfere with the elastic clip 22, allowing the elastic clip 22 to be in the second position. This allows the lamp 20 to be clamped and fixed to the substrate 10 through the interaction of the elastic clip 22 and the abutment flange 23 on the lamp body 21. With the above structure, the lamp 20 does not require the hand to constantly apply force to the elastic clip 22 to keep it open during installation, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, the installation process does not require contact with the clip, reducing the risk of pinching the hand.
