Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and in particular to a grille downlight with a quick-release structure. Background Technology

[0002] A downlight is a type of light fixture installed on the ceiling, commonly used for illuminating corners or sides of walls. Before installing a downlight, holes need to be pre-drilled in the ceiling to insert the main body of the downlight into the holes. Common downlights are recessed installations. When installing a downlight, pre-drilled holes are required in the ceiling. When replacing other products, the original mounting holes may not fit the dimensions of the new product due to differences in product size and shape.

[0003] On the other hand, older houses often do not have space reserved for installing downlights, and users need to drill new installation holes in the ceiling. Since the work needs to be done at a high place, it is difficult for ordinary users to install them themselves. Utility Model Content

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a grille downlight 10 with a quick-release structure, which includes: an outer frame 100, a downlight body 200, and a connector 300.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer frame 100 is installed on the ceiling. The outer frame 100 includes a C-shaped guide strip 110 and an anti-detachment block 120. The C-shaped guide strip 110 is provided with a groove 111. An anti-detachment block 120 is provided at each end of the C-shaped guide strip 110, and the thickness of the anti-detachment block 120 is less than the width of the groove 111.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connector 300 includes a base 310 and a scissor bracket 320 that matches the slide groove 111. The base 310 is mounted on the downlight body 200, and the scissor bracket 320 is inserted into the slide groove 111 to connect the outer frame 100 and the downlight body 200 together.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The scissor bracket 320 includes a first swing arm 321, a second swing arm 322, and a tension spring 323. Both the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322 are rotatably mounted on the base 310. The first swing arm 321 has first feet 324 at both ends, and the second swing arm 322 has second feet 325 at both ends. The tension spring 323 connects to the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322 respectively, so that the first feet 324 and the second feet 325 abut against the wall of the slide groove 111. After the scissor bracket 320 enters the slide groove 111, the distance between the first feet 324 and the second feet 325 is less than the distance between the two anti-detachment blocks 120 within the C-shaped guide strip 110, ensuring that the scissor bracket 320 can smoothly enter between the two anti-detachment blocks 120.

[0039] The installation process for the above-mentioned downlights is as follows:

[0040] First, fix the outer frame 100 to the ceiling.

[0041] Apply force to move the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322, and stretch the tension spring 323. At this time, the width of the scissor bracket 320 formed by the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322 becomes narrower. Maintain this state and adjust the position of the downlight body 200 so that the scissor bracket 320 is aligned with the outlet of the slide groove 111.

[0042] Push the scissor bracket 320 into the slide groove 111 and release the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322. The tension spring 323 contracts to drag the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322 to swing. At this time, the width of the scissor bracket 320 begins to increase, and the first support leg 324 and the second support leg 325 abut against the groove wall of the slide groove 111. At this time, the scissor bracket 320 is embedded in the outer frame 100, and the downlight body 200 is fixed.

[0043] It should be noted that after the external force on the downlight body 200 is removed, the downlight body 200 will descend under the action of gravity until the C-shaped guide strip 110 supports the scissor bracket 320, and the anti-detachment block 120 is located at the outlet of the slide groove 111 to form a blockage. Figure 6 As shown, the tension spring 323 provides elasticity so that the first leg 324 and the second leg 325 abut against the groove wall of the slide 111, increasing the friction and preventing the scissor bracket 320 from sliding in the slide 111 after fixing, thus preventing the downlight body 200 from falling off.

[0044] The disassembly process for the aforementioned downlights is as follows:

[0045] Holding the downlight body 200 with one hand, apply force to lift the downlight body 200 until it is in contact with the outer frame 100. When the downlight body 200 is lifted, the scissor bracket 320 also rises in the slide groove 111. The thickness of the anti-detachment block 120 is less than the width of the slide groove 111. After the first leg 324 and the second leg 325 are both lifted, the anti-detachment block 120 can no longer provide effective obstruction. The positional relationship between the anti-detachment block 120 and the first leg 324 and the second leg 325 is determined by... Figure 6 The state shown becomes Figure 7 In the indicated state, sliding the downlight body 200 laterally will allow the scissor bracket 320 to be pulled out of the slide groove 111, disconnecting the downlight body 200 from the outer frame 100. The user can then remove the downlight body 200 for replacement or repair. Preferably, the thickness of both the first support leg 324 and the second support leg 325 is less than the width of the slide groove 111. This ensures that after lifting the downlight body 200, both the first support leg 324 and the second support leg 325 can disengage from the anti-disengagement block 120, making the disassembly process of the downlight body 200 smooth.

[0046] Please see Figure 4In one embodiment, the base 310 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 311, which are located within the swing trajectory of the first swing rod 321 and the second swing rod 322 to limit the swing amplitude of the first swing rod 321 and the second swing rod 322.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the anti-detachment block 120 is provided with an inclined surface 121 to facilitate guiding the scissor bracket 320 into the slide groove 111.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the outer frame 100 further includes a suspension rope 130, which is connected to the C-shaped guide strip 110 and can suspend the outer frame 100 from the ceiling.

[0049] In one embodiment, both the outer frame 100 and the downlight body 200 are provided with anti-fall rope hanging holes. An anti-fall rope is connected between the outer frame 100 and the downlight body 200 as a safety measure to prevent the downlight body 200 from accidentally falling when it is separated from the outer frame 100.

[0050] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the downlight body 200 and the C-shaped guide strip 110 are spaced apart, that is, the back of the downlight body 200 and the outer frame 100 are spaced apart.

[0051] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the width of the downlight body 200 is the same as the width of the outer frame 100. After assembly, the downlight body 200 is flush with the outer wall of the outer frame 100, making the overall shape of the downlight more compact.

[0052] The aforementioned grille downlight 10 with a quick-release structure has the following beneficial effects:

[0053] 1. The outer frame 100 and the downlight body 200 are connected by a connector 300. When installing the downlight, there is no need to open new mounting holes in the ceiling, which simplifies the installation process and reduces the difficulty of installing the downlight.

[0054] 2. The C-shaped guide strip 110, the anti-detachment block 120 and the scissor bracket 320 work together to allow the outer frame 100 and the downlight body 200 to be quickly disassembled and installed without the need for tools. This makes the disassembly and assembly operation simple and helps to reduce the installation difficulty of the downlight.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
