Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically a folding ceiling light. Background Technology

[0002] With the diversification of modern architectural space design and the continuous improvement of people's demand for indoor lighting, traditional ceiling lights, due to their fixed illumination angle and poor adjustment flexibility, can no longer meet the lighting requirements of different scenarios. Most existing ceiling lights use a rigid connection structure, meaning the angle cannot be adjusted after installation, or only supports limited angle adjustments. This results in limited lighting coverage, easily creating blind spots, and making it difficult to achieve multi-directional, asymmetrical lighting layouts. Especially in scenarios such as open kitchens, long corridors, and irregularly shaped walk-in closets, a single light source cannot simultaneously illuminate work surfaces, passageways, and decorative items, often forcing users to add track lights or wall lights, disrupting the ceiling's clean look. Furthermore, while some adjustable-angle lights offer some flexibility, the adjustment process is cumbersome, positioning is inaccurate, and they are prone to shifting due to their own weight or vibration during use, affecting lighting stability and user experience.

[0004] Preferably, the inner wall of the clamping mechanism is provided with multiple circumferential or spherical array positioning recesses, and the surface of the universal damping ball head is provided with corresponding hemispherical protrusions. The diameter of the hemispherical protrusions is adapted to the positioning recesses, and engagement positioning is formed when the lamp is adjusted to the preset deflection angle.

[0005] Preferably, both the clamping mechanism and the universal damping ball joint are made of stainless steel.

[0009] Preferably, the outer periphery of the universal damping ball head is also covered with a layer with elastic damping.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic damping layer is a silicone pad or a rubber pad, used to provide continuous frictional damping force to maintain the stability of the luminaire in any position.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. This embodiment provides a folding ceiling light including a connecting rod 1, a multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2, and at least one lamp fixture 3. Please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is an enlarged view of part A of this utility model. Figure 3This is an enlarged schematic diagram of the clamping mechanism and the universal damping ball head assembly in part A of this utility model. The multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 includes a main connecting end 21 and multiple side connecting ends 22. The main connecting end 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1, allowing the entire multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 to rotate 360° around the axis of the connecting rod 1. Each side connecting end 22 is provided with a clamping mechanism 221. The top of the lamp 3 is detachably and fixedly connected with a universal damping ball head 31. The universal damping ball head 31 and the clamping mechanism 221 form a spherical fit. Both the clamping mechanism 221 and the universal damping ball head 31 are made of stainless steel. Of course, they can also be made of copper, iron, aluminum, copper-aluminum alloy, copper-iron alloy, or other metal materials, which will not be elaborated further. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 221 includes a first ball-and-socket clamping member 2211 and a second ball-and-socket clamping member 2212, which are arranged opposite to each other.

[0027] In this embodiment, the multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 is T-shaped, specifically including a main connecting end 21 and two side connecting ends 22. The main connecting end 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1, so that the entire multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 can rotate 360° around the axis of the connecting rod 1. The two side connecting ends 22 are respectively provided with clamping mechanisms 221. The tops of the two lamps 3 are detachably fixed to the universal damping ball head 31 by fasteners such as screws. The universal damping ball head 31 and the clamping mechanism 221 form a spherical fit. The clamping mechanism 221 has its own radial preload pressure. When the lamp 3 is adjusted to the correct angle, the clamping mechanism 221, through the combined action of the radial preload pressure and the curved geometric characteristics of the universal damping ball head 31, forms a sufficient static friction torque at the contact interface to counteract the torque formed by the weight of the lamp 3 and external disturbances. Thus, without additional locking operations, the two lamps 3 can maintain this spatial posture for a long time.

[0028] To avoid motion interference between multiple lamps 3, the length of each side connection end 22 of the multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 must be positively correlated with the distance of the universal damping ball head 31 from the reference edge of the lamp 3 at its fixed position on the top frame of the lamp 3. From a space optimization perspective, when the length of the side connection end 22 is shortened, the fixed distance of the universal damping ball head 31 on the top frame of the lamp 3 must also be reduced accordingly to achieve a balance between structural compactness and motion safety. Taking the T-shaped multi-arm rotating connecting bracket 2 as an example: when the lengths of the two side connection ends 22 are short, to effectively avoid collisions between adjacent lamps 3 during rotation adjustment, the universal damping ball head 31 should preferably be fixed in the edge area where the two lamps 3 are close to each other.

[0029] To further ensure that the lamp 3 can maintain a stable posture in any position for a long time, an elastic damping layer with a thickness of 1-5mm can be wrapped around the outer periphery of the universal damping ball head 31. The elastic damping layer is a silicone pad or a rubber pad, used to provide continuous frictional damping force. In addition, multiple circumferential or spherical array positioning recesses can be provided on the inner wall of the clamping mechanism 221. Specifically, multiple circumferential or spherical array positioning recesses with a depth of 0.3-0.7mm can be provided on the inner wall of the first spherical clamping member 2211 and the inner wall of the second spherical clamping member 2212. At the same time, hemispherical protrusions are correspondingly provided on the surface of the universal damping ball head 31. The diameter of the hemispherical protrusions matches the positioning recesses, and when the lamp 3 is adjusted to a preset deflection angle, it forms an engagement positioning. A radial adjustment structure can also be provided on the side of the clamping mechanism 221, which is equipped with a locking knob or a wing nut. By tightening the locking knob or the wing nut, the first ball-and-socket clamp 2211 or the second ball-and-socket clamp 2212 will be brought towards the center, thereby pressing the universal damping ball head 31 to increase friction and lock the position of the lamp 3.

[0030] In summary, this design achieves 360° horizontal rotation of the multi-arm rotating support bracket 2 by rotatably connecting the main connecting end 21 to the connecting rod 1. The universal damping ball joint 31, in conjunction with the clamping mechanism 221, allows the lamp 3 to tilt at any angle. This dual-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism breaks through the limitations of traditional ceiling lights with fixed angles, enabling the lamp 3 to achieve full-angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical directions. Multiple side connecting ends 22 support the mounting of multiple lamps 3, further expanding the lighting coverage to adapt to the lighting needs of different spatial layouts. In use, the lamp 3 can be retracted into a compact form to save space by adjusting the angle between the universal damping ball head 31 and the clamping mechanism 221. In addition, the positioning recess on the inner wall of the clamping mechanism 221 matches the hemispherical protrusion of the universal ball head, and automatically engages when adjusted to the target angle to achieve precise positioning. The elastic damping layer covering the universal ball head provides continuous frictional damping force to ensure more reliable positioning of the lamp 3. At the same time, a locking knob / wing nut is added to form a mechanical locking force far exceeding the damping force to accommodate heavier lamps 3.

[0031] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
