Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tool-free in-ground light for installation and maintenance includes an in-ground light pre-embedded component 1, a light body 2 disposed within the in-ground light pre-embedded component, and a face ring 3 disposed on the light body. Several snap-fit ​​springs 4 are fixed to the light body by screws, and several insertion holes 5 are provided along the top edge of the light body. An insertion protrusion 6, positioned to mate with the insertion holes, is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the face ring. Since the in-ground light pre-embedded component and the face ring are conventional structures in the prior art, they are not described in detail. During assembly, the light body is inserted into the in-ground light pre-embedded component and locked against the upper limit of the inner wall of the in-ground light pre-embedded component by the snap-fit ​​springs. The face ring is attached to the top surface of the light body, and the insertion protrusion is positioned within the insertion holes. With the above structure, tool-free installation and maintenance can be achieved. The lamp body can be inserted into the pre-embedded part of the ground light and positioned by the snap-on spring. At the same time, the face ring is inserted into the insertion hole through the insertion protrusion. It does not require the use of screws, which helps to reduce the difficulty of installation, improve the assembly efficiency, and also helps to improve the waterproof performance.

[0028] In this embodiment, a limiting step 7 is provided on the inner wall of the in-ground light pre-embedded component; a limiting protruding ring 8 is integrally formed on the top edge of the light body; the snap-fit ​​spring is fixed to the bottom surface of the limiting protruding ring by screws, and the insertion hole is located on the limiting protruding ring; the light body is located inside the in-ground light pre-embedded component, and the limiting protruding ring abuts against the limiting step. This structure prevents the light body from being excessively inserted into the in-ground light pre-embedded component and also limits the installation depth of the light body, improving stability and reliability during use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring includes an integrally formed horizontal mounting part 41 and a vertical spring part 42. The horizontal mounting part is attached to the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion ring, and the vertical spring part is an outwardly protruding V-shaped spring. In this embodiment, the outwardly protruding V-shaped spring part is mainly used to securely fasten the spring into the embedded part of the inground light during assembly, ensuring the stability and reliability of the assembly.

[0030] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​spring is a stainless steel or manganese steel sheet with a thickness of 1-3mm. The number of snap-fit ​​springs is two, three, or four. A spare screw hole post 9 is integrally formed on the limiting step; and a spare mounting hole position 10 is provided on the limiting protrusion ring to mate with the spare screw hole post. In this embodiment, a nut can also be welded to the spare mounting hole position on the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion ring. During assembly, a screw can be used for positioning and connection, facilitating the stability and reliability of the screw connection without affecting the aesthetic appearance.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lamp body includes a housing 21, a lamp holder 22, a light source plate, and a lens body 23, which are disposed inside the housing and sealed as a whole. A light-transmitting lampshade 24 is sealed and fixed on the housing. The light from the light source plate shines upward through the lens body and the light-transmitting lampshade. The limiting protrusion is located on the housing. The light source plate is a conventional structure in the prior art and is placed inside the lamp holder, which can be sealed with glue. At the same time, the lens body is placed inside the lamp holder, and waterproof gaskets can be added at the connection to increase waterproof performance. This is a conventional structure in the prior art, as shown in CN202322638417.8, a waterproof LED module lamp, so it is not described in detail.

[0032] This utility model has positive effects: Its structure is reasonably designed, with snap-fit ​​springs on the outer side of the lamp body and several insertion holes along the top edge of the lamp body; the bottom surface of the face ring is integrally formed with insertion protrusions that mate with the insertion holes. During assembly, the lamp body is secured within the embedded parts of the underground light by the snap-fit ​​springs, while the insertion protrusions of the face ring are positioned within the insertion holes of the lamp body, improving the convenience and effectiveness of assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, since the lamp body is a single unit, there is no need to drill screw holes in the face ring, enabling tool-free installation and maintenance. It also improves waterproof performance, increases assembly efficiency, and has strong applicability.

[0033] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural parts described in the instruction manual can also be processed without any doubt based on existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection methods of each component adopt mature conventional methods in the existing technology, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
