Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting equipment, and in particular to a recessed luminaire mounting frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have higher and higher requirements for lighting fixtures. Panel lights, as a type of lighting fixture, are widely used in hotels, conference rooms, factories, and residences due to their good uniformity of illumination, soft light, and comfortable yet bright illumination. There are many types of existing panel lights, including recessed, hanging, and wall-mounted types. For recessed panel lights installed in ceiling openings, they generally consist of spring fasteners, mounting frames, and the panel light itself.

[0003] In existing related technologies, the mounting frame of the panel light is fixed to the ceiling opening by spring clips. During installation, one person needs to open and hold the spring clips of the mounting frame upwards, while another person helps to insert the mounting frame into the ceiling opening. Finally, the spring clips are released, thereby fixing the mounting frame to the ceiling opening.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when the number of people is small, it is difficult to install the mounting frame into the ceiling opening while keeping the spring clip open, making the installation of the panel light mounting frame inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem of inconvenient installation of panel light mounting frames when there are few people, this application provides an embedded lighting fixture mounting frame structure.

[0006] The embedded lighting fixture mounting frame structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An embedded lighting fixture mounting frame structure includes a mounting frame, a spring clip, and a support bow;

[0008] The spring clips are provided in a plurality of them, and all of the spring clips are mounted on the mounting frame;

[0009] The spring clip includes a movable plate, a fixed spring, and a fixed plate. The fixed plate is mounted on the mounting frame, the movable plate is rotatably fitted to the fixed plate, and the fixed spring is installed between the movable plate and the fixed plate.

[0010] One end of the support bow is detachably mounted to the mounting frame, and the other end of the support bow is detachably mounted to the movable plate;

[0011] When the other end of the support bow needs to be installed on the movable plate, the movable plate rotates away from the mounting frame, and when the other end of the support bow needs to be removed from the movable plate, the movable plate rotates towards the mounting frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the spring clip is in the initial state, the movable plate is close to the fixed plate by the fixed spring.

[0013] When installing the mounting frame for the panel light, overcome the spring force of the fixed spring to rotate the movable plate away from the mounting frame. Then, sequentially install the other end of the support bow onto the movable plate, and then install one end of the support bow onto the mounting frame for support, thereby keeping the movable plate in an upward-opening state. By repeating this operation using several support bows, all movable plates can be kept in an upward-opening state.

[0014] With the movable panel in the upward-opening position, the mounting frame aligns and inserts into the ceiling opening. The other end of the support bow is then detached from the mounting frame. The retaining spring releases its tension, causing the movable panel to rotate in the opposite direction towards the mounting frame. Subsequently, each support bow is pushed to detach itself from its respective movable panel, allowing the movable panel to press firmly against the ceiling and the mounting frame to be installed. This eliminates the need for multiple people, facilitating the installation of the panel light mounting frame with a small team.

[0015] Optionally, the support bow is elastic and has a first hook portion, and the movable plate has a snap-fit ​​hole;

[0016] When the other end of the support bow is installed on the movable plate, the first hook portion engages with the buckle hole, and when the other end of the support bow is removed from the movable plate, the first hook portion disengages from the buckle hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the support bow is elastic. When the support bow needs to be installed on the movable plate, the movable plate is rotated away from the mounting frame until it exceeds the vertical position. Then, by hooking the first hook of the support bow into the snap-fit ​​hole of the movable plate, the bow part of the support bow is pushed, and the second hook of the support bow is installed on the mounting frame, thereby keeping the movable plate in an upward-open state through the support bow.

[0018] When it is necessary to remove the support bow from the snap-fit ​​hole, detach the second hook of the support bow from the mounting frame. At this time, the fixing spring moves the movable plate closer to and against the mounting frame, causing the support bow to be pulled upward away from the mounting frame by the movable plate. Then, push the support bow forward to disengage the first hook from the snap-fit ​​hole, thus facilitating the disassembly of the support bow by a single person.

[0019] Optionally, the support bow is provided with a second hook portion, and the mounting frame has a through-hole for the second hook portion to pass through and engage with the mounting frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the second hook of the support bow is inserted into and snapped into the fixing hole, so that the support bow is installed on the mounting frame. Furthermore, the support bow can be easily and quickly removed from the mounting frame by pushing it.

[0021] Specifically, by engaging the second hook of the support bow with the fixing hole of the mounting frame, the support bow can be quickly fixed to the mounting frame without complicated adjustments. Once the mounting frame is aligned and embedded in the opening in the ceiling, the second hook of the support bow can be pushed away from the fixing hole of the mounting frame to remove it, thus completing the quick assembly and disassembly of the support bow.

[0022] Optionally, the fixing hole and the snap-fit ​​hole are aligned vertically. When the first hook and the second hook of the support bow are snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole and the fixing hole respectively, the support bow abuts against the mounting frame.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing hole and the snap-fit ​​hole are aligned vertically, so that when installing the support bow, the first hook part and the second hook part of the support bow can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole and the fixing hole respectively, and the angle of the support bow can be adjusted to achieve quick alignment and snap-fit, thus improving the efficiency of single-person operation.

[0024] When the first and second hooks of the support bow are respectively engaged with the snap-fit ​​holes and fixing holes, the support bow fits tightly against the surface of the mounting frame. The snap-fit ​​points at both ends of the hooks and the middle section abut against the mounting frame, facilitating the support bow's stress distribution and ensuring its stability. Furthermore, when disassembling the support bow, pushing it disengages the second hook from the fixing hole, and then pushing it again disengages the first hook from the snap-fit ​​hole, allows for quick disassembly.

[0025] Optionally, the mounting frame includes several mounting frames, two adjacent mounting frames are connected by a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is detachably mounted to the mounting frame.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible combination and separation of adjacent mounting frames can be achieved through the detachable connecting plate. When a single mounting frame is damaged, it can be replaced individually.

[0027] Optionally, the mounting frame has a mounting groove, and the connecting plate is inserted into the mounting groove.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion and matching of the mounting groove and the connecting plate enable quick and accurate alignment and assembly of adjacent mounting frames, reducing errors caused by manual adjustment. The matching of the depth of the mounting groove and the thickness of the connecting plate achieves a self-locking effect to ensure stable installation.

[0029] Optionally, the connecting plate is provided with an elastic protrusion, which abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting plate forms a dynamic lock with the groove wall of the mounting groove through the elastic protrusion. When the connecting plate is inserted into the mounting groove, the elastic protrusion undergoes elastic deformation due to the pressure of the groove wall. The resulting rebound force keeps the connecting plate and the groove wall in close contact, forming a two-way self-locking mechanism.

[0031] Optionally, the material supporting the bow can be metal.

[0032] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0033] 1. When installing the mounting frame of the panel light, overcome the spring force of the fixed spring to rotate the movable plate away from the mounting frame. Then, install the other end of the support bow onto the movable plate, and then install one end of the support bow onto the mounting frame for support, thereby keeping the movable plate in an upward-opening state. Repeat this operation using several support bows to keep each movable plate in an upward-opening state.

[0034] 2. With the movable panel in the upward-opening position, align the mounting frame with and insert it into the ceiling opening. Remove the other end of the support bow from the mounting frame. The spring releases its tension, causing the movable panel to rotate in the opposite direction towards the mounting frame. Then, push each support bow to remove it from its respective movable panel, allowing the movable panel to be pressed against the ceiling and the mounting frame to be installed on the ceiling. This eliminates the need for multiple people, making it easier to install the panel light mounting frame with a small team.

[0035] 3. The support bow is elastic. When installing the support bow onto the movable plate, rotate the movable plate away from the mounting frame until it exceeds the vertical position. Then, by hooking the first hook of the support bow into the latching hole of the movable plate, push the bow part of the support bow to install the second hook of the support bow onto the mounting frame. This allows the movable plate to remain in an upward-opening state through the support bow.

[0036] 4. When it is necessary to remove the support bow from the snap-fit ​​hole, detach the second hook of the support bow from the mounting frame. At this time, the fixing spring moves the movable plate closer to and against the mounting frame, causing the support bow to be pulled upward away from the mounting frame by the movable plate. Then, push the support bow forward to disengage the first hook from the snap-fit ​​hole, thus facilitating the disassembly of the support bow by a single person.

[0037] 5. The second hook of the support bow is inserted into and snapped into the fixing hole, so that the support bow can be installed on the mounting frame. Furthermore, the support bow can be easily and quickly removed from the mounting frame by pushing it. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0045] This application discloses an embedded lighting fixture mounting frame structure, which is installed in a ceiling opening for mounting a panel light. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embedded mounting frame includes a mounting frame 1, a spring clip 2, and a support bow 3. The mounting frame 1 is rectangular.

[0046] The mounting frame 1 is equipped with four spring clips 2, which are arranged in a rectangular shape, and two spring clips 2 are respectively provided on the two sides of the mounting frame 1 that are directly opposite each other.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 The spring clip 2 includes a movable plate 21, a fixed spring 22, and a fixed plate 23. The fixed plate 23 is mounted on the mounting frame 1. The movable plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 23 via the fixed spring 22, and the fixed spring 22 is located between the movable plate 21 and the fixed plate 23. In the normal state, the fixed spring 22 causes the movable plate 21 to tend to move closer to the mounting frame 1, and the contraction of the fixed spring 22 allows the movable plate 21 to move closer to the fixed plate 23.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The movable plate 21 has a through-hole 201, and the mounting frame 1 has a through-hole 101. The through-hole 201 of the movable plate 21 and the through-hole 101 of the mounting frame 1 are aligned in the same vertical direction.

[0049] The support bow 3 is elastic, and in this embodiment, the support bow 3 is made of metal. The support bow 3 is provided with a first hook portion 301 and a second hook portion 302. The first hook portion 301 of the support bow 3 is detachably installed in the snap-fit ​​hole 201 of the movable plate 21, and the second hook portion 302 of the support bow 3 is detachably installed in the fixing hole 101 of the mounting frame 1.

[0050] refer to Figure 4 When it is necessary to keep the movable plate 21 in the upward open state, the elastic force of the fixed spring 22 is overcome to rotate the movable plate 21 away from the mounting frame 1 to a position beyond the vertical. Then, the first hook part 301 of the support bow 3 is engaged with the buckle hole 201 of the movable plate 21, and then the second hook part 302 of the support bow 3 is engaged with the fixing hole 101 of the mounting frame 1, thereby keeping the movable plate 21 in the upward open state by means of the support bow 3.

[0051] When it is necessary to disassemble the support bow 3, first push the bow part of the support bow 3 to disengage the second hook part 302 of the support bow 3 from the fixing hole 101 of the mounting frame 1. At this time, the fixing spring 22 will release its elastic force, causing the movable plate 21 to rotate and reset towards the mounting frame 1, and driving the support bow 3 upward away from the mounting frame 1. Then push the support bow 3 again to disengage the first hook part 301 of the support bow 3 from the buckle hole 201, and detach the support bow 3 from the mounting frame 1.

[0052] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 also includes several mounting frames 11. Two adjacent mounting frames 11 are connected by connecting plates 4, and the connecting plates 4 are detachably installed on the mounting frames 11. This allows the mounting frames 11 to be assembled according to different shapes of ceiling openings using connecting plates 4 at corresponding angles. The unassembled mounting frames 11 are easy to store and transport. Furthermore, if a single mounting frame 11 is damaged, the damaged mounting frame 11 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting frame 11 has a mounting groove 102. The connecting plate 4 connects two adjacent mounting frames 11 by interlocking with the mounting groove 102, which can quickly align and assemble the two adjacent mounting frames 11 and reduce the error of manual alignment of the mounting frames 11. The thickness of the connecting plate 4 matches the depth of the mounting groove 102, so that the connecting plate 4 can be relatively stably fixed in the mounting groove 102.

[0054] Reference Figure 5The connecting plate 4 is provided with an elastic protrusion 401, which abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 102. When the connecting plate 4 is inserted into the mounting groove 102 of the mounting frame 11, the elastic protrusion 401 is squeezed by the groove wall and undergoes elastic deformation. The resulting rebound force keeps the connecting plate 4 in close contact with the groove wall, thereby making the two adjacent mounting frames 11 firmly connected through friction. In addition, the deformation of the elastic protrusion 401 of the connecting plate 4 can be adjusted by bolts, or the elastic protrusion 401 of the connecting plate 4 can be deformed by pressing, so that the connecting plate 4 can move in the mounting groove 102.

[0055] The implementation principle of the embedded lighting fixture mounting frame structure in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0056] S1. Overcome the elastic force of the fixed spring 22, so that the movable plate 21 rotates away from the mounting frame 1 until it exceeds the vertical position, and then the first hook part 301 of the support bow 3 is engaged with the buckle hole 201 of the movable plate 21.

[0057] S2. The second hook part 302 of the support bow 3 is snapped into the fixing hole 101 of the mounting frame 1, and the support bow 3 is tightly pressed against the surface of the mounting frame 1 to ensure the stability of the force, so that the movable plate 21 is kept in the upward open state.

[0058] S3. Align the mounting frame 1 with the opening in the ceiling, so that the movable plate 21 passes through the opening in the ceiling and the mounting frame 1 is embedded in the opening in the ceiling. Then push the bow part of the support bow 3 so that the second hook part 302 of the support bow 3 disengages from the fixing hole 101 of the mounting frame 1. Then push the support bow 3 again so that the first hook part 301 of the support bow 3 disengages from the snap-fit ​​hole 201 of the movable plate 21.

[0059] S4. Repeat S3 until all active plates 21 are reset.

[0060] Therefore, this application uses a flexible and detachable support bow 3 to temporarily fix the movable plate 21, so that the movable plate 21 can be kept in an upward open state when there are fewer people. This eliminates the need for multiple people to cooperate in ensuring that the movable plate 21 is in an open state when embedded in the ceiling opening, thus facilitating the installation of the panel light mounting frame 1 when there are fewer people.

[0061] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
