Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceiling light technology, and in particular to an automatically releasing spring clip and a ceiling light made therefrom. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern lighting industry, ceiling lights, as a type of lighting fixture widely used in various indoor spaces, have always been a focus of industry attention due to their ease of installation, stability, and aesthetics. With continuous technological innovation in the lighting industry, consumers have increasingly higher demands for lighting products, not only pursuing excellent lighting effects but also having higher expectations for the ease of installation and compatibility of lighting fixtures.

[0003] In the installation and fixing of ceiling lights, spring clips are a common and crucial component. Currently, traditional ceiling light spring clips have several problems. For example, in terms of installation, common spring clips require manual opening to a vertical position (and holding it down to maintain this vertical position) before inserting the ceiling light into the mounting hole from below. At this point, the fingers holding the spring clip are positioned between the mounting hole and the ceiling light, and the mounting hole can scrape against the fingers during insertion, potentially causing injury and hindering smooth installation. Furthermore, due to the significant elasticity of the spring clips, they can easily spring back during operation, causing hand injuries to the installer; the disassembly process carries the same risk. Moreover, for installation components like blade-shaped spring clips, the clips need to be pressed firmly against the light body during installation; improper operation can cause the clips to spring back, also potentially injuring the hand, and the disassembly process can easily damage the ceiling.

[0004] In summary, existing ceiling light spring clips have shortcomings in terms of adaptability, ease of installation, safety, and structural compatibility. There is an urgent need for a newly designed automatic release spring clip and a ceiling light constructed from it to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and meet the market's demand for more efficient and safer ceiling light installation. This new design eliminates the need to continuously press the spring clip with a finger; installation is completed simply by inserting it. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatically releasing spring clip and a ceiling light made therefrom. Its structure is simple and reasonable, and the installation of the ceiling light can be completed quickly and safely without the need for fingers to continuously press the spring clip.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automatically releasing spring clip includes a mounting plate, a rotating limit stop, a rocker plate, a pressure rod, and a spring;

[0008] The mounting plate has an insert block at the bottom, a bushing in its middle section, a top plate at the top, and a through hole on the top plate;

[0009] A rotating shaft is inserted inside the bushing; the bottom end of the rotating limiting baffle is provided with a shaft hole, and the top end of the rocker is provided with a shaft hole; the rotating limiting baffle and the rocker are both sleeved on both ends of the rotating shaft, and can both rotate and swing around the rotating shaft.

[0010] The rocker includes a strike valve and a push plate. The strike valve is a J-shaped sheet, and the push plate is a horizontal plate with its front and rear ends connected to the top of the strike valve. When the strike valve swings downward, the push plate swings clockwise upward with the pivot as the center of rotation.

[0011] The lower inner side of the rotating limiting baffle is provided with a back plate that cooperates with the push plate. When the push plate swings upward, it pushes the back plate, causing the back plate to drive the rotating limiting baffle to rotate clockwise until it is close to horizontal.

[0012] The pressure rod and spring are used to apply pressure to the rotating limiting baffle, keeping it in a stable extended or retracted state. The pressure rod is horizontally positioned, with two guide rods at its top, which pass through a through hole. The spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rods, with its upper and lower ends respectively abutting the top plate and the pressure rod. Both ends of the pressure rod pass through the clamping slots of the rotating limiting baffle, which are strip-shaped slots. The clamping slot includes a long side wall and a short side wall.

[0013] When the rotating limit baffle is retracted (vertical), the pressure rod presses against the short side hole wall; when the rotating limit baffle is extended (horizontal), the pressure rod presses against the long side hole wall. In both states, the rotating limit baffle can maintain its stable shape due to the pressure from the spring and the pressure rod.

[0014] A ceiling light includes a light body and two spring clips;

[0015] The lamp body has slots on both sides, and the spring clips are inserted into the slots for tensioning and fitting, or they can be fixed by screws.

[0016] Briefly explain why ceiling lights using the spring clips described in this application are quick and safe to install:

[0017] When installing the ceiling light, with the spring clip in the retracted state (i.e., the rotating limit baffle is upright; if it is in the horizontal state, manually move it to the upright state), insert the ceiling light into the mounting hole on the ceiling from bottom to top. During insertion, the outer edge of the mounting hole touches the rocker valve (rocker), causing the rocker valve to rotate. This, in turn, pushes the back plate 21 (rotating limit baffle) to rotate horizontally and unfold. As the ceiling light continues to be inserted, the rocker valve rotates and retracts until it can pass through the mounting hole. The unfolded rotating limit baffle is then hung on the upper surface of the ceiling, thus completing the installation of the ceiling light.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] Its structural design is simple and reasonable. During installation, there is no need to continuously press the spring clip, which allows for quick and safe installation of the ceiling light. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatically releasing spring clip includes a mounting plate 1, a rotating limiting baffle 2, a rocker plate 3, a pressure rod 4, and a spring 5.

[0026] The mounting plate 1 has an insert block 11 at the bottom, a bushing 12 in its middle section, a top plate 13 at its top, and a through hole 14 on the top plate 13.

[0027] The bushing 12 is fitted with a rotating shaft 13; the bottom of the rotating limiting baffle 2 is provided with a shaft hole, and the top of the rocker plate 3 is provided with a shaft hole; the rotating limiting baffle 2 and the rocker plate 3 are both fitted on both ends of the rotating shaft 13, and can both rotate and swing around the rotating shaft 13.

[0028] The rocker 3 includes a strike valve 31 and a push plate 32. The strike valve 31 is a J-shaped sheet, and the push plate 32 is a horizontal plate with its front and rear ends connected to the top of the strike valve 31. When the strike valve 31 swings downward, the push plate 32 swings upward clockwise with the rotating shaft 13 as the center of rotation.

[0029] The inner side of the lower end of the rotating limiting baffle 2 is provided with a back plate 21 that cooperates with the push plate 32. When the push plate 32 swings upward, it pushes the back plate 21, causing the back plate 21 to drive the rotating limiting baffle 2 to rotate clockwise until it is close to horizontal.

[0030] The pressure rod 4 and spring 5 are used to apply pressure to the rotating limiting baffle 2, keeping the rotating limiting baffle 2 in a stable expanded or retracted state. The pressure rod 4 is horizontally positioned, with two guide rods 6 at its top, which pass through the through hole 14. The spring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rods 6, with its upper and lower ends respectively abutting the top plate 13 and the pressure rod 4. The two ends of the pressure rod 4 pass through the pressing slots 7 of the rotating limiting baffle 2, which are strip-shaped slots. The pressing slots 7 include a long side wall 71 and a short side wall 72.

[0031] When the rotating limit baffle 2 is retracted (standing upright), the pressure rod 4 presses against the short side hole wall 72; when the rotating limit baffle 2 is unfolded (horizontal), the pressure rod 4 presses against the long side hole wall 71. In both states, the rotating limit baffle 2 can maintain its stable shape due to the pressure from the spring 5 and the pressure rod 4.

[0032] Preferably, the rotating limiting baffle 2 and the back plate 21 are integrally formed metal plates;

[0033] Preferably, the rocker arm 3 is a one-piece molded metal plate;

[0034] Preferably, the push plate 32 is disposed in conjunction with the back plate 21;

[0035] Preferably, the bottom end of the rotating limiting baffle 2 is an arc surface.

[0036] Preferably, both ends of the rotating shaft 13 are provided with limiting baffles 131.

[0037] A ceiling light includes a light body 8 and two automatically released spring clips 9;

[0038] The lamp body 8 has slots 91 on both sides, and the insert block 11 of the spring clip 9 is inserted into the slot 91 for tensioning and fitting, or it can be fixed by screw connection.

[0039] Briefly explain why ceiling lights using the spring clip 9 of this application are quick and safe to install:

[0040] When installing the ceiling light, with the spring clip 9 in the retracted state (i.e., the rotating limit baffle 2 is upright; if it is in the horizontal state, manually move it to the upright state), insert the ceiling light into the mounting hole on the ceiling from bottom to top. During insertion, the outer edge of the mounting hole touches the impact valve 31 (rocker 3), causing the rocker 3 to rotate. This, in turn, pushes the back plate 21 (rotating limit baffle 2) to rotate horizontally and unfold. As the ceiling light continues to be inserted, the impact valve 31 rotates and retracts until it can pass through the mounting hole. The unfolded rotating limit baffle 2 is then hung on the upper surface of the ceiling, thus completing the installation of the ceiling light.

[0041] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model will still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
