Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of linear lights, specifically to a quick-installation adapter for track linear lights. Background Technology

[0002] In the track linear lighting market, the connection between the adapter and the luminaire is generally a threaded connection (connector). Threaded connections are the most mainstream and common connection method. The connector has a standard threaded opening at the bottom, and the matching luminaire must have a corresponding metal thread. The connector is then rotated to connect and secure it to the luminaire. However, this method imposes certain limitations on luminaire assembly and connection. Both assembly and disassembly require multiple rotations, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, after rotational assembly, the internal tension of the luminaire, relying solely on the metal thread, can easily cause the adapter and luminaire to loosen, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a quick-installation adapter for track linear lights, which solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly between the adapter and the light fixture, simplifies the installation method between the two, realizes quick disassembly and assembly operations, and ensures stability and safety.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A quick-installation adapter for a track linear light includes a bracket mounted on an adapter and a connecting piece located at the bottom of the bracket for fixing the light fixture. The connecting piece is secured to the two side ribs on the back of the light fixture after being rotated a certain angle by the bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting piece is provided with an elastic pressing buckle with a downward protrusion at the bottom, and the connecting piece is pushed upward by the elastic pressing buckle in a squeezed state.

[0007] When the connecting piece is installed into the two side ribs on the back of the lamp, the downward-protruding elastic snap fasteners can retract after being pressed, thereby reducing the height of the connecting piece to achieve connection. After installation, the reverse force of the elastic snap fasteners can make the upper end of the connecting piece press against the upper inner side of the two side ribs, thereby ensuring the stability of the adapter after installation and avoiding loosening or slippage. The tension is also better after installation.

[0008] Preferably, two elastic snap fasteners are used and are respectively located on both sides of the card holder.

[0009] It enables the two sides of the connecting piece to achieve uniform counterforce for tensioning and locking.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting piece is provided with a U-shaped through hole, and the elastic pressing buckle includes a spring piece located in the U-shaped through hole and a pressing protrusion located at the front end of the spring piece and protruding downward.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting piece has arc-shaped or inclined corners on two opposite corners, and the two sides of the connecting piece form protrusions through the apex of the corners, with the length of the two opposite protrusions being greater than the width of the groove on the back of the lamp to be installed.

[0012] The corner design allows the diagonal length of the connecting piece to be shortened to the required range, thus enabling rotational installation and preventing jamming during installation. At the same time, the length of the other diagonal also serves as a locking mechanism, preventing excessive rotation due to force during rotation.

[0013] Preferably, the upper side of the corner is provided with a downwardly inclined guide surface, and the outer wall thickness of the corner gradually decreases through the guide surface.

[0014] Preferably, the card holder includes a T-shaped retaining ring and a limiting protrusion disposed between the T-shaped retaining ring and the connecting piece, and the card holder mounted on the adapter is rotated and limited by the limiting protrusion.

[0015] Preferably, the limiting protrusion is a protrusion composed of square and semi-circular structures, and the limiting protrusion is limited by the side formed by the square protrusion.

[0016] The limiting protrusion can form a limiting effect with the protruding structure on the bottom of the adapter, which can prevent the card holder from rotating during the adapter's rotation.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The connecting piece is fixed to the adapter via a clip. When connecting the adapter to the lamp, simply insert the connecting piece between the two side ribs on the back of the lamp, and then rotate it at a certain angle so that the two sides of the connecting piece are locked into the two side ribs to fix it. This effectively solves the problem of existing connectors requiring multiple rotations to align the screw holes during disassembly and assembly. At the same time, the installation position of the adapter is more flexible and no longer limited by the position of the screw holes. The stability after installation is also better, and the adapter and lamp are less likely to loosen, resulting in high safety. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1-3As shown, a quick-installation adapter for a track linear light includes a mounting base 6 on an adapter 50 and a connecting piece 3 at the bottom of the mounting base 6 for fixing a light fixture 10. The connecting piece 3 is secured within the two side ribs 30 on the back of the light fixture 10 after the mounting base 6 is rotated by a certain angle. The connecting piece 3 has an elastic pressing buckle 4 with a downward protrusion at the bottom, and the connecting piece 3 is pushed upward by the elastic pressing buckle 4 in a compressed state. Two elastic pressing buckles 4 are used and are respectively located on both sides of the mounting base 6. The connecting piece 3 has arc-shaped or inclined corners 1 at two opposite corners, and the two sides of the connecting piece 3 form protrusions 7 through the top corners of the corners 1. The length of the two opposite protrusions 7 is greater than the width of the groove on the back of the light fixture 10 to be installed. The upper side of the corner 1 has a downwardly inclined guide surface 2, and the outer wall thickness of the corner 1 gradually decreases through the guide surface 2.

[0027] At the factory, the adapter is installed on the adapter 50 via the clip 6. When the lamp 10 needs to be fixed via the linear track 40 for ceiling mounting or other methods, the adapter 50 with the adapter is first inserted between the two side ribs 30 on the back of the lamp 10 via the connecting piece 3. After pressing down and rotating the adapter 50 90 degrees, the two sides of the connecting piece 3 are engaged with the two side ribs 30 on the back of the lamp 10. During the pressing and rotating process, the distance between the connecting piece 3 and the back plate of the lamp 10 is reduced by the elastic pressing buckle 4 springing upward. When rotated to the correct position and released, the elastic pressing buckle 4 springs back, and the elastic pressing buckle 4 squeezes the back plate to create an upward force, thereby pushing the connecting piece 3 upward and locking it onto the lamp 10. Finally, the adapter 50 is simply slid into the track groove of the linear track 40 to complete the installation. For disassembly, first separate the adapter 50 from the linear track 40, then press down on the adapter 50 while rotating counterclockwise to separate it. During the process of reverse ejection and clamping of the connecting piece 3 by the elastic pressing buckle 4, the two sides of the card seat 6 are ejected synchronously, resulting in better stability.

[0028] Because the connecting piece 3 has a directional structure, its diagonal length is much greater than the width of the groove to be installed. This can easily cause the lamp fixture 10 profile to deform excessively during installation, making it impossible to reset or even causing damage. Therefore, to solve this problem, arc-shaped or inclined corners 1 are formed on two opposite corners of the connecting piece 3 by removing material. The corner 1 design allows for control of the diagonal length, thus enabling quick installation. In particular, when the diagonal length formed by the top corners of the corners 1 on both sides of the connecting piece 3 is slightly greater than the width of the groove to be installed, protrusions 7 can be formed on both sides of the connecting piece 3. During rotation and disassembly, when the protrusions 7 on both sides of the connecting piece 3 contact the inside of the groove, the lamp fixture 10 profile can deform and open, thus achieving installation. After rotating until the side is parallel to the groove, the other diagonal acts as a stop, preventing excessive force from causing a 180-degree rotation.

[0029] The thickness of the connecting piece 3 is generally close to the height of the groove to be installed. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the top surface of the corner 1 is located in the groove, which results in greater pressure required under normal conditions and may easily damage the back plate. Therefore, a downwardly inclined guide surface 2 is formed on the upper side of the corner 1. When the connecting piece 3 rotates, the corner 1 can be quickly inserted with less pressure, effectively avoiding the problem of the back plate being crushed.

[0030] Further improvements include the integral molding of the entire connector, resulting in a simple overall structure and low manufacturing cost. The U-shaped through hole 5 on the connector 3 forms a spring piece 41 with the same thickness as the connector 3. At the same time, a downward-protruding pressing protrusion 42 is formed at the bottom front end of the spring piece 41. When pressing, the pressing protrusion 42 first contacts the base plate 20 of the lamp 10. After being subjected to force, the spring piece 41 tilts upward, making the structure even simpler.

[0031] A further improvement is made in that the card holder 6 includes a T-shaped retaining ring 61 and a limiting protrusion 62 disposed between the T-shaped retaining ring 61 and the connecting piece 3. The card holder 6 installed on the adapter 50 is rotated and limited by the limiting protrusion 62.

[0032] The top of the card holder 6 is a T-shaped retaining ring 61, which can be adapted to the existing adapter 50. The bottom of the T-shaped retaining ring 61 is changed from the original circular ring to a limiting protrusion 62 composed of a square and a semi-circular structure. This allows the card holder 6 installed on the adapter 50 to be limited by the limiting protrusion 62, preventing the card holder 6 from initially rotating during the rotation of the adapter 50.

[0033] When connecting the adapter 50 and the lamp 10, it is only necessary to press and rotate 90 degrees through the adapter to achieve disassembly and assembly. The operation is simple and effectively solves the problem of cumbersome disassembly and assembly between the existing adapter 50 and the lamp 10. The installation method is simpler and more convenient, and the disassembly and assembly operation is more efficient.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this application shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this application.
