Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, and in particular to a lamp holder and lamp with concealed wiring. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial lighting component, the lamp holder's design and performance directly impact the overall effect and user experience of the luminaire. Traditional lamp holders suffer from numerous wiring problems, severely affecting the aesthetics, safety, and reliability of the luminaire. After installing the LED chips, the wires in traditional lamp holders are usually exposed, making the lamp holder appear messy and reducing the overall aesthetic appeal of the luminaire, failing to meet the high-quality aesthetic demands of modern consumers for home decoration and commercial lighting. For example, in some high-end interior design scenarios, exposed wires can disrupt the design sense and harmony of the entire space, affecting the overall presentation of the decoration style. Furthermore, the connection method between the wires and LED chips in traditional lamp holders is often unreasonable, resulting in a chaotic wiring layout. This not only increases the difficulty of installation and maintenance but may also affect the normal operation of the LED chips and reduce the lifespan of the luminaire. For instance, when repairing or replacing LED chips, the complex tangled wires require a significant amount of time and effort to untangle, increasing repair costs and workload.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model proposes a lamp holder with concealed wiring, including a mounting plate 100, a cable management plate 200, and a light-transmitting plate. The mounting plate 100 has a mounting cavity 101 for accommodating LED beads 400, which are arranged in multiple linear rows and connected to the mounting plate 100. The cable management plate 200 is connected to the mounting plate 100 and positioned between two rows of LED beads 400. It is rectangular in shape and includes a horizontal plate 210 covering the wires. A gap exists between the horizontal plate 210 and the mounting plate 100 to allow the wires to pass through. Recessed openings are provided on both sides of the cable management plate 200 to allow power lines to pass through and connect to each LED bead 400. The light-transmitting plate is connected to the mounting plate 100 to enclose the mounting cavity 101. The LED beads 400 emit light through the light-transmitting plate to provide illumination.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the mounting plate 100 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, possessing excellent heat dissipation performance and structural stability. The mounting plate 100 is provided with mounting cavities 101 for accommodating the LED beads 400. The depth and dimensions of these mounting cavities 101 are designed according to the specifications and quantity of the LED beads 400. The LED beads 400 are high-brightness LED beads, arranged linearly in three rows, evenly connected to the mounting plate 100. The spacing between each row of LED beads 400 is 5 cm to ensure uniform lighting effect. The linear arrangement of multiple rows of LED beads 400 provides a larger area of ​​uniform illumination, meeting the lighting needs of different locations. Compared to the traditional single-row arrangement of LED beads 400, the luminaire of this invention has a wider lighting range and more uniform light distribution, effectively improving lighting quality.

[0027] The cable management plate 200, also made of aluminum alloy, is securely welded to the mounting plate 100 and positioned between the two rows of LED beads 400. The cable management plate 200 is rectangular, its length matching the width of the mounting plate 100, and its width is 3 cm. The cable management plate 200 includes a horizontal plate 210 covering the wires. A 2 mm wide gap exists between the horizontal plate 210 and the mounting plate 100 to allow the wires to pass through smoothly without movement. The cable management plate 200 has semi-circular recesses on both sides, each 1 cm in diameter, to allow power lines to pass through and connect to each LED bead 400. During installation, the wires are first inserted through the recess on one side of the cable management plate 200, laid along the gap to the corresponding LED bead 400 position, and then exited through the recess on the other side to connect to the LED bead 400, achieving orderly arrangement and concealment of the wires.

[0028] The concealed wiring lamp holder proposed in this utility model uses a cable management plate 200 to hide the wires within the gap between the horizontal plate 210 and the mounting plate 100. Electrical connections between the wires and each LED bead 400 are achieved through recessed recesses, eliminating the exposed wires and significantly improving the overall aesthetics of the lamp. When users look through the light-transmitting plate into the mounting cavity 101, the lamp appears cleaner and more attractive. The cable management plate 200 makes the wire layout more organized. During installation, the wires are simply passed through the recessed recesses and connected to the LED beads 400 according to a predetermined path, making the operation simple and convenient, greatly shortening installation time and reducing installation costs. During maintenance, it is also easier to locate and repair the wiring, improving maintenance efficiency. Because the wires are hidden inside the cable management plate 200, the possibility of wire aging and damage is reduced, lowering safety hazards such as leakage and improving the safety of the lamp. Simultaneously, the sealed mounting cavity 101 design effectively prevents dust and moisture from entering, protecting the LED beads 400 and the wires, extending the lamp's lifespan, and improving its reliability.

[0029] The light-transmitting panel is made of transparent acrylic material, which has good light transmittance and weather resistance. The light-transmitting panel is fixed to the mounting plate 100 by a snap-fit ​​connection to seal the mounting cavity 101. When the lamp is powered on, the lamp beads 400 emit light, and the light passes through the light-transmitting panel to provide illumination, providing bright and uniform light to the surrounding environment.

[0030] It should be noted that the mounting plate 100, cable management plate 200, and light-transmitting plate can be made of different materials, which can be selected according to the actual use environment and needs, and have strong adaptability. For example, high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials can be selected in outdoor environments, while lower-cost and aesthetically pleasing materials can be selected in indoor environments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The cable management board 200 includes the original horizontal plate 210 and connecting plates 220 located on both sides of the cable management board 200. During the manufacturing of the cable management board 200, an integral injection molding process is used to form the horizontal plate 210 and connecting plates 220 as a single unit, ensuring a firm connection between the connecting plates 220 and the horizontal plate 210. The surface of the connecting plates 220 is polished to make it smooth and flat, allowing for better adhesion to the surface of the mounting plate 100. During installation of the cable management board 200, the connecting plates 220 are tightly adhered to the surface of the mounting plate 100, initially fixed by spot welding or the use of special adhesive, before subsequent wire laying and overall assembly. The addition of the connecting plates 220 increases the contact area between the cable management board 200 and the mounting plate 100, making the connection between the cable management board 200 and the mounting plate 100 more stable. During the use of the lighting fixture, even when subjected to external vibrations or wind, the cable management plate 200 is not easily loosened or detached, ensuring that the wires are always stably concealed, thus improving the overall structural stability and reliability of the lighting fixture. At the same time, the connecting plate 220 fits tightly against the surface of the mounting plate 100, reducing the possibility of dust and moisture entering the mounting cavity 101 through gaps, further protecting the internal wires and LED chips 400.

[0032] Reference Figure 2Furthermore, a fixing rod is provided on the mounting plate 100. The fixing rod is made of stainless steel and is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 100 by a threaded connection. The fixing rod is set perpendicular to the cable management plate 200 to ensure stable support during fixing. The fasteners are a combination of bolts and nuts, and threaded holes matching the bolts are pre-drilled on the fixing rod. During installation, the cable management plate 200 is placed in the predetermined position so that the connecting plate 220 is in contact with the surface of the mounting plate 100. Then, the bolts are passed through the through holes on the mounting plate 100, the connecting plate 220, and the threaded holes on the fixing rod in sequence, and finally tightened with nuts. Through the tightening action of the bolts and nuts, the cable management plate 200 is firmly fixed to the mounting plate 100. By setting the fixing rod and fasteners, a more reliable and stable fixing method is provided for the connection between the cable management plate 200 and the mounting plate 100. Compared with simple welding or glue fixing, this mechanical connection method can withstand greater external forces and is less prone to loosening or damage during long-term use. Moreover, when the cable tray 200 needs to be repaired or replaced, it can be easily removed by simply loosening the nuts and bolts. The operation is simple and quick, which improves the maintainability of the lamp.

[0033] Based on the actual design of the luminaire and the number of rows of LED beads 400, multiple cable trays 200 are installed. For example, when there are four rows of LED beads 400, three cable trays 200 are installed, each located between two adjacent rows of LED beads 400. Simultaneously, multiple fasteners are installed on the fixing rod corresponding to the position of each cable tray 200. During installation, each cable tray 200 is sequentially fixed to the mounting plate 100 using fasteners, ensuring that each cable tray 200 is securely installed and that the gap between it and the mounting plate 100 is uniform, allowing the wires to pass through and be concealed smoothly. The multiple cable trays 200 can be flexibly arranged according to the number of rows of LED beads 400, making the concealment of wires more reasonable and orderly. Each cable tray 200 is responsible for concealing the wires between two adjacent rows of LED beads 400, avoiding problems such as excessively long or tangled wires, reducing electromagnetic interference between wires, and improving the electrical performance of the luminaire. At the same time, multiple fasteners corresponding to each cable tray 200 ensure the fixation effect of each cable tray 200, further enhancing the overall structural stability of the luminaire.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, two fixing rods are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting plate 100. When installing the cable tray 200, both ends of the cable tray 200 are fixed to the fixing rods on both sides by fasteners. For example, for a rectangular mounting plate 100, one fixing rod is provided on each of the left and right sides, and both ends of the cable tray 200 are connected to the left and right fixing rods respectively to form a stable frame structure, making the fixing of the cable tray 200 more secure and reliable. Setting two or more fixing rods can fix the cable tray 200 from multiple directions, increasing the stability and reliability of the fixing. When the lamp is subjected to external forces in different directions, multiple fixing rods can share the force, reducing the force burden on a single fixing rod and reducing the risk of damage to the fixing rod. At the same time, this multi-fixing rod design makes the installation of the cable tray 200 more balanced, avoiding the problem of tilting or deformation of the cable tray 200 caused by fixing on one side, and ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the wire hiding effect.

[0035] It is particularly important to note that, considering the mounting rod will span above the 400 LED beads, a high-transmittance acrylic material was chosen to prevent affecting the lighting effect. Because the mounting rod is made of a translucent material, when the light fixture is lit, light can pass through it without obstruction, evenly illuminating the surrounding environment. Compared to traditional light fixtures using opaque mounting rods, the light fixture in this embodiment does not suffer from shadows or uneven lighting due to the mounting rod's obstruction, providing a higher quality and more comfortable lighting effect. It is especially suitable for outdoor landscape lighting scenarios requiring high uniformity of illumination, such as park trails, plazas, and gardens.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 It should be noted that during the manufacturing of the connecting plate 220, a stamping process is used to form multiple recessed areas 221 on the connecting plate 220. The recessed areas 221 arch towards the side opposite to the mounting plate 100, and the arched shape is arc-shaped, forming recessed openings. The position of each recessed area 221 is precisely designed according to the arrangement of the LED beads 400, ensuring that each recessed area 221 corresponds to the position of each LED bead 400. When installing wires, the wires can pass through the recessed openings and directly connect to the corresponding LED bead 400, making the wire connection more precise and orderly. The design of the recessed areas 221 on the connecting plate 220 makes wire insertion and connection more convenient and quick. Since each recessed area 221 corresponds to the position of an LED bead 400, installers can accurately find the connection position of the wire, reducing the time spent searching and adjusting, and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, this design avoids the crossing and tangling of wires during the connection process, making the internal wiring layout of the lamp clearer and facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair. In addition, the rounded design of the recess 221 reduces friction and wear on the wires when they pass through, protects the insulation layer of the wires, and improves the service life of the wires.

[0037] It should be noted that during installation, the wiring route should be planned on the mounting plate 100 according to the number and position of the LED beads 400. For example, if there are three rows of LED beads 400, the wires should start from the power interface and connect to each row of LED beads 400, keeping the wiring as simple as possible and avoiding crossings. Determine the wire threading positions on the mounting plate 100 and mark the holes where wires need to be threaded. If the mounting plate 100 has pre-set threading holes, thread the wires through these holes; otherwise, use a drilling tool to drill appropriately sized threading holes on the mounting plate 100 according to the planned positions. Insert the wires from one side of the mounting plate 100 and pull them sequentially to the corresponding positions of each LED bead 400 along the planned route. During the threading process, pay attention to the bending radius of the wires to avoid excessive bending and damage. Use a soldering iron and solder wire to solder the wires to each LED bead 400. Place the cable management plate 200 at the predetermined position on the mounting plate 100, ensuring that the connecting plates 220 on both sides of the cable management plate 200 are tightly fitted to the surface of the mounting plate 100. Simultaneously, ensure that the clearance recesses on the cable management plate 200 correspond to the positions of the already fixed wires. Use fasteners to sequentially pass through the corresponding holes on the mounting plate 100, connecting plates 220, and fixing rods, and then tighten the nuts with a wrench to securely fix the cable management plate 200.

[0038] Multiple heat dissipation holes 110 are evenly distributed on the mounting plate 100. The heat dissipation holes 110 are circular with a diameter of 3 mm and are formed on the mounting plate 100 through a stamping process. The distribution density of the heat dissipation holes 110 is calculated and designed based on the power and heat generation of the lamp, ensuring that the heat generated by the LED chips 400 can be effectively dissipated while maintaining the structural strength of the mounting plate 100. For example, for lamps with higher power, the distribution of the heat dissipation holes 110 can be relatively denser; for lamps with lower power, the distribution of the heat dissipation holes 110 can be appropriately sparser.

[0039] It should be noted that for specific scenarios, such as classrooms, to ensure sufficient lighting, the lamp holder contains two sets of 400 LEDs, one facing downwards and the other upwards. (See reference...) Figure 1 The two sets of LED beads 400 are connected to each other via a connector 500. The connector 500 is a conductive sheet used to connect the two sets of LED beads 500 in opposite directions, replacing the wire connection and eliminating the need for wiring steps, thus further reducing the assembly steps of the lamp holder.

[0040] Reference Figure 3This utility model also proposes a lamp fixture, which includes a lamp head with concealed wiring as described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. First, based on the lamp's usage scenario and lighting requirements, select appropriate sizes and specifications for components such as a mounting plate 100, a wiring harness 200, and a light-transmitting plate. Install the LED beads 400 in a linear, multi-row arrangement within the mounting cavity 101 of the mounting plate 100 and connect the wires. Then, install the wiring harness 200, concealing the wires within the gap between the wiring harness 200 and the mounting plate 100. Provide heat dissipation holes 110 on the mounting plate 100 to ensure the lamp's heat dissipation performance. Finally, install the light-transmitting plate on the mounting plate 100, sealing the mounting cavity 101. Install the fabricated lamp head with concealed wiring onto the lamp post, and perform debugging and testing to ensure the lamp can emit light normally.

[0041] The use of concealed wiring in the lamp holders, featuring various optimized designs, results in a more aesthetically pleasing and cleaner appearance. The elimination of messy, exposed wires allows the lamps to better integrate into various interior design styles, enhancing their decorative appeal and overall quality. Simultaneously, the increased stability and reliability of the lamp holder structure reduces the probability of malfunctions, providing users with more stable and durable lighting products and improving user satisfaction.

[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
