Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a ceiling-mounted interlocking light strip structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, suspended ceiling panels are a common decorative method in interior design. For ease of installation and maintenance, suspended ceilings are typically assembled from a keel and multiple panels. Modular lighting fixtures are usually installed on these prefabricated ceilings. These fixtures are the same size as the individual or multiple ceiling panels and are installed in the same way for easy disassembly and maintenance. However, typical prefabricated ceilings cannot accommodate ceiling lights or LED strips, resulting in limited lighting options. In existing technology, prefabricated ceiling panels have seams, which are usually concealed by decorative strips. Alternatively, some seam lights can be installed in the seams between ceiling panels to provide both concealment and illumination. However, these seam lights need to be installed along with the ceiling panels, requiring two adjacent panels to clamp the light fixture, making installation cumbersome and the light fixture structure complex. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a ceiling-mounted interlocking light strip structure, which can solve the problem of inconvenient installation of interlocking lights.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a ceiling-mounted light strip structure includes: a base, a light strip body, and a connecting structure. The base is strip-shaped, with a first mounting groove at the top and a second mounting groove at the bottom. Both the first and second mounting grooves extend along the length of the base. The light strip body is disposed in the second mounting groove. The connecting structure includes at least two connectors. The connectors are detachably mounted in the first mounting groove and can slide and adjust their positions along the extension direction of the first mounting groove. Each connector has a mounting portion on opposite sides. The distance between the outermost end of one mounting portion along the width direction of the base and the outermost end of the other mounting portion along the width direction of the base is set as H. The connector can drive the two mounting portions to rotate and adjust H.

[0005] The ceiling seam light strip structure according to the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: the seam between ceiling panels is usually covered by a decorative strip. By adjusting the spacing of multiple connectors along the length of the base to a suitable distance, the mounting part can be hung on the decorative strip of the seam. Since the decorative strips are of different sizes, the mounting part can be rotated to adjust H to be approximately the same as the width of the decorative strip. The mounting part can then be hung in the gap between the decorative strip and the ceiling panel, thereby achieving quick installation of the light strip without having to install it at the same time as the ceiling panel, and also facilitating later addition.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connector includes a connecting seat, and an installation structure is provided between the hanging part and the connecting seat, so that the hanging part can be installed on the connecting seat through the installation structure.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the ceiling seam light strip structure includes a base 100, a light strip body, and a connecting structure 300. The base 100 is strip-shaped, with a first mounting groove 110 at the top and a second mounting groove 120 at the bottom. Both the first mounting groove 110 and the second mounting groove 120 extend along the length of the base 100. The light strip body is disposed in the second mounting groove 120. The connecting structure 300 includes at least two connectors 310. The connectors 310 are detachably installed in the first mounting groove 110 and can slide and adjust their positions along the extension direction of the first mounting groove 110. Each of the two opposite sides of the connectors 310 is provided with a hanging part 320. The distance between the outermost end of one hanging part 320 along the width direction of the base 100 and the outermost end of the other hanging part 320 along the width direction of the base 100 is set as H. The connectors 310 can drive the two hanging parts 320 to rotate and adjust H. The seams between ceiling panels are usually covered by decorative strips. By adjusting the spacing of multiple connectors 310 along the length of the base 100, the mounting part 320 can be hung on the decorative strip at the seam. Since the decorative strips are of different sizes, the mounting part 320 can be rotated to adjust H to be approximately the same as the width of the decorative strip. The mounting part 320 can then be hung in the gap between the decorative strip and the ceiling panel, thereby achieving quick installation of the light strip without having to install it at the same time as the ceiling panel, and also facilitating later addition.

[0032] Specifically, decorative strips can be installed at the seams between ceiling panels. These strips can be snapped into the seams using a snap-fit ​​method. The base 100 and the light strip component 200 can be strip-shaped. The number of connectors 310 can be determined according to the length of the light strip component 200. The connectors 310 can slide and adjust their position within the first mounting groove 110. It is understood that the gap between the connector 310 and the first mounting groove 110 can be set relatively small, so that the connector 310 is roughly held in the adjusted position. The hanging part 320 can snap into the decorative strip and... The entire light strip structure can be hung in the gap between the ceiling panels. To improve versatility, the connector 310 is rotatable and adjustable. The H value changes after the mounting part 320 rotates, thus adapting to decorative strips of different widths. In actual installation, the mounting part 320 on one side can be inserted into the decorative strip first, and then the light strip component 200 or the connector 310 can be operated to rotate the connector 310 relative to the base 100 until the mounting part 320 on the other side can be inserted into the decorative strip to complete the connection. This improves the convenience of installation and allows for later addition.

[0033] Reference Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments of this utility model, the connector 310 includes a connector 311, and a mounting structure 330 is provided between the mounting part 320 and the connector 311. The mounting part 320 can be mounted on the connector 311 through the mounting structure 330. Specifically, the mounting part 320 can be detachably mounted on the connector 311, thereby allowing for the replacement of mounting parts 320 of different sizes to further expand the size range of the compatible trim strips.

[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting seat 311 is circular in shape, and the outer peripheral wall of the connecting seat 311 can abut against the two inner side walls of the first mounting groove 110.

[0035] With the above structure, the circular connecting seat 311 can rotate smoothly in the first mounting groove 110, which can reduce the occurrence of jamming. Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting seat 311 can remain in contact with the first mounting groove 110, so that the base 100 and the connecting seat 311 will not wobble along the width direction of the base 100.

[0036] Reference Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting seat 311 includes an inner ring portion 3111 and an outer ring portion 3112. The outer ring portion 3112 is disposed around the inner ring portion 3111. The inner ring portion 3111 is recessed toward the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 110. The bottom of the inner ring portion 3111 abuts against the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 110. There is a gap between the outer ring portion 3112 and the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 110. Specifically, the connecting seat 311 can be made of metal by stamping or plastic by injection molding. The inner ring portion 3111 is recessed towards the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 110, so that the outer ring portion 3112 and the inner ring portion 3111 roughly form a disc-shaped structure. After the connecting seat 311 is installed in the first mounting groove 110, the bottom of the inner ring portion 3111 abuts against the base 100, and the top of the outer ring portion 3112 abuts against the base 100. The inner ring portion 3111 and the outer ring portion 3112 can deform to generate elastic force, thereby creating a damping force between the connecting seat 311 and the base 100. The damping force facilitates the sliding adjustment of the position of the connecting seat 311.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting structure 330 is configured as a snap-fit ​​structure, and the hanging part 320 can be snapped onto the connecting seat 311 via the snap-fit ​​structure. Configuring the mounting structure 330 as a snap-fit ​​structure further improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the hanging part 320.

[0038] Reference Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting structure 330 includes two limiting components 331 and an elastic mounting member 332. The two limiting components 331 are disposed opposite to each other on the connecting seat 311. Each limiting component 331 includes a first limiting member 3311 and a second limiting member 3312 spaced apart along the length direction of the base 100. The first limiting member 3311 includes a vertical portion 3311a and a horizontal portion 3311b. The bottom of the vertical portion 3311a is connected to the connecting seat 311, and the bottom of the horizontal portion 3311a is connected to the connecting seat 311. 1b is connected to the top of the vertical part 3311a, and the horizontal part 3311b extends toward the other limiting component 331. The elastic mounting member 332 can be installed between the two limiting components 331 and can abut against the two vertical parts 3311a by elastic force. The horizontal part 3311b can restrict the elastic mounting member 332 from moving in the vertical direction. The hanging part 320 passes through the gap between the first limiting member 3311 and the second limiting member 3312 and connects to the elastic mounting member 332.

[0039] With the above structure, the gap between the first limiting member 3311 and the second limiting member 3312 can cooperate with the mounting part 320 so that the connecting seat 311 can move along the length direction of the base 100. The two limiting components 331 are arranged opposite to each other so that the two vertical parts 3311a can restrict the elastic mounting member 332 within them, thereby achieving the limiting of the connecting seat 311 in the width direction. The horizontal part 3311b can restrict the movement of the elastic mounting member 332 in the vertical direction, thereby achieving the limiting in three directions. In actual installation, the user can drive the elastic mounting member 332 to deform and insert it into the limiting component 331 for cooperation, making the installation relatively convenient.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the elastic mounting member 332 is made of a metal strip bent into a snake shape, and the elastic mounting member 332 is arranged meandering along the width direction of the base 100. Specifically, the elastic mounting member 332 can bend twice to form a snake shape. The snake shape structure facilitates elastic deformation, thereby facilitating the installation of the elastic mounting member 332 and improving the installation stability.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the hanging part 320 is configured as a hook 321, and the hook 321 and the elastic mounting member 332 are an integral structure. The elastic mounting member 332 and the hook 321 can be formed by bending a metal strip, which simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces processing costs.

[0042] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the hook 321 includes a connecting strip 3211 and a hook portion 3212. One end of the connecting strip 3211 is connected to the elastic mounting member 332, and the other end is connected to the hook portion 3212. The hook portion 3212 deflects upward around the axis of the connecting strip 3211.

[0043] The above structure allows the hook portion 3212 of the hook 321 to better engage in the gap between the trim strip and the ceiling component.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting structure 300 further includes at least one magnetic member 340, which is disposed in the first mounting groove 110 and can slide along the first mounting groove 110 to adjust its position. Specifically, when the trim strip is made of metal, it can be quickly assembled and disassembled by magnetic attraction. The number of magnetic members 340 can be set according to the length of the base 100, and the magnetic members 340 can be magnetically connected to the trim strip without hanging, which can further improve the convenience of assembly and disassembly.

[0045] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
