Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically to a novel mounting structure for an LED panel light. Background Technology

[0002] LED panel lights are commonly used lighting fixtures, widely applied in both residential and commercial decoration. Traditional LED panel lights consist of multiple mounting holes on the panel. The general installation process involves drilling holes in the ceiling according to the locations of these holes, inserting plugs into the holes, lifting the LED panel light, threading the light wire through it, and then securing it in the holes with bolts. Wiring is then performed. The problem with this method is that it demands a high level of arm strength and hand-eye coordination from the installer. The drilling process requires lifting the LED panel light to mark the drilling points, and securing it requires simultaneously lifting the light, threading the light wire, and tightening the bolts. This is extremely inconvenient, especially for large LED panel lights, where it's practically impossible for one person to operate, resulting in significant installation difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel installation structure for LED panel lights, thereby solving the aforementioned problems existing in the current installation process of LED panel lights.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel mounting structure for an LED panel light includes a mounting bracket, a bracket hook assembly, and a bracket snap-fit ​​assembly. The mounting bracket is used to fix the LED panel light to the mounting top surface. The bracket hook assembly and the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly are spaced apart on the back of the LED panel light. The mounting bracket is provided with a first insert plate that cooperates with the bracket hook assembly and a second insert plate that cooperates with the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly. The first insert plate is configured to suspend the LED panel light when the bracket hook assembly is connected to the first insert plate. The second insert plate is configured to fix the LED panel light to the mounting bracket by flipping the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly upward after the first insert plate and the bracket hook assembly are connected.

[0006] Furthermore, the bracket hook assembly includes a buckle seat, a buckle tongue, and a torsion spring. The buckle seat is disposed on the back of the LED panel light. An L-shaped snap-fit ​​plate is disposed upward at the end of the buckle seat. The buckle tongue is hinged to the snap-fit ​​seat via a hinge shaft. The torsion spring is disposed on the hinge shaft. The end of the buckle tongue is located below the L-shaped snap-fit ​​plate. Through the elastic force of the torsion spring, the buckle tongue maintains contact with the L-shaped snap-fit ​​plate. A closed-loop space is formed between the buckle seat, the L-shaped snap-fit ​​plate, and the buckle tongue for the first insert plate to enter. The LED panel light can be suspended by the cooperation of the first insert plate with the closed-loop space. The buckle tongue is configured such that when the first insert plate slides into the closed-loop space through the surface of the buckle tongue, the buckle tongue can be reset by the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0007] Furthermore, the first insert plate is arranged parallel to the mounting top surface, and the first insert plate is provided with a hook portion for the first insert plate to enter the closed-loop space.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly includes a base, a snap-fit ​​plate, and a tension spring. The base is disposed on the back of the LED panel light. The ends of both sides of the base along its length are provided with hanging ears, and the top surface of each hanging ear has a notch. The snap-fit ​​plate has mounting grooves on the upper part of both sides along its length, which engage with the notches. The lower part of the snap-fit ​​plate has two first mounting holes spaced apart. The base has a second mounting hole. The tension spring connects between the first and second mounting holes. The lower end of the snap-fit ​​plate is inclined by the tension of the spring. The upper end of the base has a bent snap-fit ​​plate. The bent snap-fit ​​plate is configured such that when the second insert plate is inserted between the bent snap-fit ​​plate and the snap-fit ​​plate, the bent snap-fit ​​plate can engage with the snap-fit ​​plate to fix the LED panel light to the mounting bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the second insert plate is perpendicular to the mounting top surface and is positioned downwards, and the second insert plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion for the bending snap-fit ​​plate to snap into.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the bent snap-fit ​​plate has a bent portion, which is inclined upward so that the second insert plate can be snapped into or detached from the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0011] Furthermore, both the bracket hook assembly and the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly are provided in two sets, respectively located at both ends of the LED panel light along its length.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a longitudinal mounting plate and a transverse mounting plate. The transverse mounting plate is disposed at both ends of the longitudinal mounting plate and is perpendicular to the longitudinal mounting plate. The first insert plate and the second insert plate are respectively disposed at both ends of the transverse mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting plate for connecting to a junction box installed on the top surface of the mounting plate is provided at the middle position of the longitudinal mounting plate, and the connecting plate is provided with a first arc-shaped connecting hole in the circumferential direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the horizontal mounting plate is provided with a second connecting hole for fixing the horizontal mounting plate to the mounting top surface.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model discloses a novel installation structure for LED panel lights. Through the cooperation of a mounting bracket, a bracket hook assembly, and a bracket snap-fit ​​assembly, the installation process is streamlined. First, the mounting bracket is fixed to the top surface. The LED panel light is then suspended by the first insert plate of the bracket hook assembly in conjunction with the closed-loop space, eliminating the need for continuous lifting. Next, the LED panel light is flipped upwards, causing the second insert plate to snap into the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly for secure installation. The entire process is simple and significantly reduces the demands on the installer's arm strength and hand-eye coordination. Even one person can easily install large-size LED panel lights, effectively solving the problem of high manpower requirements associated with traditional installation methods. Traditional installation methods are cumbersome, requiring multiple adjustments to the panel light position and separate operations such as drilling, wire threading, and bolt tightening, which are time-consuming. This novel installation structure simplifies the installation process. After the mounting bracket is fixed, simply slide the first insert plate into the closed-loop space for suspension, and then flip the panel light to snap into the second insert plate for secure installation. This reduces unnecessary steps, significantly improving installation efficiency and saving installation time and labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the novel installation structure of the LED panel light in this embodiment mainly consists of a mounting bracket 1, a bracket hook assembly 2, and a bracket snap-fit ​​assembly 3.

[0031] Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting bracket 1 includes a longitudinal mounting plate 101 and a transverse mounting plate 102. The transverse mounting plate 102 is located at both ends of the longitudinal mounting plate 101 and is perpendicular to it. A connecting plate 103 is located in the middle of the longitudinal mounting plate 101. The connecting plate 103 has an arc-shaped first connecting hole 104 around its circumference. The connecting plate 103 can be connected to the junction box on the mounting top surface 5 through the first connecting hole 104, realizing the initial positioning and connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the mounting top surface. The arc design of the first connecting hole 104 can adapt to different positions of the fixing holes of the junction box, facilitating quick installation. The transverse mounting plate 102 has a second connecting hole 105, which can be used to fix the transverse mounting plate 102 to the mounting top surface, ensuring the stable installation of the mounting bracket 1. The first insert plate 106 and the second insert plate 107 are respectively disposed at both ends of the horizontal mounting plate 102. The first insert plate 106 is disposed parallel to the mounting top surface 5 and is provided with a hook portion 1061 for cooperating with the bracket hook assembly 2. The second insert plate 107 is disposed perpendicular to the mounting top surface 5 and is disposed downward. The second insert plate 107 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 1071 for cooperating with the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly 3.

[0032] Figure 1 As shown, both the bracket hook assembly 2 and the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly 3 are provided in two sets, which are respectively located at both ends of the length direction of the LED panel light 4.

[0033] Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bracket hook assembly 2 includes a buckle seat 201, a buckle tongue 202, and a torsion spring 203. The buckle seat 201 is located on the back of the LED panel light 4, and an L-shaped snap plate 2011 is provided upward at the end of the buckle seat 201. The latch 202 is hinged to the latch seat 201 via the hinge shaft 204. The torsion spring 203 is mounted on the hinge shaft 204. The end of the latch 202 is located below the L-shaped latch plate 2011. Through the elastic force of the torsion spring 203, the latch 202 remains in contact with the L-shaped latch plate 2011. A closed-loop space 205 is formed between the latch seat 201, the L-shaped latch plate 2011, and the latch 202, allowing the first insert plate 106 to enter. When installing the LED panel light 4, the first insert plate 106 is inserted into the closed-loop space 205, which allows one side of the LED panel light 4 to be suspended. At this time, there is no need to manually lift the LED panel light 4, freeing up hands to perform wiring work on the LED panel light 4.

[0034] Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the bracket snap-fit ​​assembly 3 includes a base 301, a snap-fit ​​plate 302, and a tension spring 303. The base 301 is located on the back of the LED panel light 4. Hanging ears 3011 are provided at the ends of both sides of the base 301 along its length, and notches 3012 are provided on the top surface of the hanging ears 3011. Mounting grooves 3021 are provided on the upper part of both sides of the snap-fit ​​plate 302 along its length. The mounting grooves 3021 engage with the notches 3012 to achieve a preliminary connection between the snap-fit ​​plate 302 and the base 301. Two first mounting holes 3022 are spaced apart at the lower part of the snap-fit ​​plate 302, and a second mounting hole 3013 is provided on the base 301. The tension spring 303 connects the first mounting holes 3022 and the second mounting holes 3013, and the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plate 302 is tilted by the tension of the tension spring 303. The upper end of the base 301 is provided with a bending snap-fit ​​plate 3014, and the end of the bending snap-fit ​​plate 3014 has a bent portion 3015, which is inclined upward. In actual installation, when one side of the LED panel light 4 is suspended, the LED panel light 4 is lifted upward, so that the second insert plate 107 can be inserted between the snap-fit ​​plate 302 and the bending snap-fit ​​plate 3014. After the second insert plate 107 is inserted, the bending snap-fit ​​plate 3014 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​portion 1071 on the second insert plate 107, thereby fixing the other side of the LED panel light 4 and quickly completing the installation process of the LED panel light 4.

[0035] At the same time, such as Figure 4 As shown, a safety lanyard 41 is also provided on the LED panel light 4. One end of the safety lanyard 41 is fixed to the LED panel light 4, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 103, so as to prevent the LED panel light 4 from falling off accidentally and ensure safe use.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] When installing the LED panel light 4, first connect the mounting bracket 1 to the junction box on the mounting top surface through the first connecting hole 104 to achieve initial positioning. Then, use the second connecting hole 105 to fix the horizontal mounting plate 102 on the mounting top surface to ensure that the mounting bracket 1 is installed stably.

[0038] Next, bring the LED panel light 4 close to the mounting bracket 1, so that the hook part 1061 of the first insert plate 106 slides into the closed-loop space 205 of the bracket hook assembly 2 through the surface of the latch 202. Under the compression of the first insert plate 106, the latch 202 overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring 203 and rotates downward. When the first insert plate 106 is fully inserted into the closed-loop space 205, the latch 202 is reset under the elastic force of the torsion spring 203. At this time, the first insert plate 106 cooperates with the closed-loop space 205 to suspend the LED panel light 4. The installer does not need to continuously hold the LED panel light 4, and can free up their hands to do the wiring work of the LED panel light 4.

[0039] After wiring is completed, lift the LED panel light 4 upwards so that the second insert plate 107 can be inserted between the bent snap-fit ​​plate 3014 and the snap-fit ​​plate 302. Because the bent portion 3015 is tilted upwards, the second insert plate 107 can be smoothly inserted. As the second insert plate 107 is inserted, the snap-fit ​​plate 302, under the pressure of the second insert plate 107, overcomes the tension of the tension spring 303 and flips over. When the snap-fit ​​portion 1071 of the second insert plate 107 reaches the appropriate position, the snap-fit ​​plate 302 returns to its original position under the tension of the tension spring 303, and the bent snap-fit ​​plate 3014 and the snap-fit ​​plate 302 are snapped together, fixing the second insert plate 107 in place. This secures the LED panel light 4 to the mounting bracket 1, completing the installation of the LED panel light 4. The entire installation process is simple to operate, requiring minimal arm strength and hand coordination from the installer. Even installing a large-sized LED panel light 4 can be easily completed by one person.
