They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0032] This utility model provides a lamp 1 and a storage cabinet. The storage cabinet includes a lamp 1 and a cabinet body 2. The lamp 1 can be installed on the cabinet body 2. The cabinet body 2 is not limited to a bathroom mirror cabinet, but can also be a wardrobe, bookcase, etc. The lamp 1 can be fixed to the cabinet body 2 using different fixing methods depending on the installation environment or the type of the cabinet body 2. (Reference) Figures 1-10As shown, the lamp 1 proposed in the embodiment of this utility model includes a lamp body 11, a snap-fit ​​component 12, and a connecting screw 13. The snap-fit ​​component 12 is disposed on the lamp body 11, and the connecting screw 13 is selectively assembled on the lamp body 11. A locking handle 25 or a snap-fit ​​fitting 24 can be disposed on the cabinet 2. The snap-fit ​​fitting 24 is used to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​component 12 to realize the snap-fit ​​engagement between the lamp 1 and the cabinet 2, while the locking handle 25 is used to cooperate with the connecting screw 13 to realize a fixed connection with the cabinet 2. The connecting screw 13 is a two-in-one screw, and both it and the locking handle 25 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the length of the lamp body 11 is usually consistent with the size of the cabinet 2. For example, when the lamp body 11 is assembled on the cabinet 2 in a vertical direction, the length of the lamp body 11 is equal to the height of the cabinet 2. When the lamp body 11 is assembled on the cabinet 2 in a horizontal direction, the length of the lamp body 11 is equal to the width of the cabinet 2, so that the lamp body 11 can illuminate the surface of the cabinet 2 as much as possible. Based on this, two snap-fit ​​parts 12 are provided, and they are located at both ends of the length of the lamp body 11 respectively, in order to improve the connection stability with the cabinet 2. In order to meet the assembly requirements of the lock handle 25, there is a certain distance between the connecting screw 13 and the end face of the lamp body 11. For example, the distance between the connecting screw 13 and the end face of the lamp body 11 is 30cm. That is, the connecting screw 13 is set along the length direction of the lamp body 11 on the side of the snap-fit ​​part 12 close to the center of the lamp body 11, and there are at least two connecting screws 13.

[0033] The aforementioned lamp 1 can be fixed to the cabinet 2 by either snap-fit ​​or by connecting screws 13 with locking handles 25, depending on the type of cabinet 2 and the installation environment. It can also be installed on the side, top, or bottom wall of the cabinet 2, depending on the installation environment or actual needs. The product is flexible, versatile, and easy and efficient to install. Clearly, compared to snap-fit, the method of using connecting screws 13 with locking handles 25 provides the most accurate and secure fixation for the lamp 1. Therefore, under suitable conditions, it is preferable to use connecting screws 13 with locking handles 25 to fix the lamp 1 to the cabinet 2.

[0034] Specifically, the cabinet 2 is commonly divided into wooden cabinets and metal cabinets. For metal cabinets or wooden cabinets with hollow side walls, the locking handle 25, which works with the connecting screw 13, cannot be fixed to the cabinet 2. In this case, the lamp 1 can be snapped onto the cabinet 2. However, when the cabinet 2 is made of wood, the side walls of the cabinet 2 are thicker, allowing the locking handle 25 to be fixed to the cabinet 2. In this case, the lamp body 11 can be fixed to the cabinet 2 using the connecting screw 13.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, in order to quickly assemble the connecting screw 13 onto the lamp body 11, the lamp 1 also includes a threaded sleeve 16. The threaded sleeve 16 is built into the lamp body 11. A second clearance hole is provided on the lamp body 11 at the position corresponding to the threaded sleeve 16. One end of the connecting screw 13 is inserted into the threaded sleeve 16 and screwed into the threaded sleeve 16, and the other end passes through the second clearance hole to be inserted into the cabinet 2 and connected to the lock handle 25.

[0036] To improve the aesthetics of the lamp 1, the snap-fit ​​component 12 is also concealed within the lamp body 11. A first clearance hole is provided on the lamp body 11 corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​component 12. The first clearance hole is located on the side of the lamp body furthest from the center of the lamp body from the second clearance hole. The snap-fit ​​component 24 can pass through the first clearance hole into the lamp body 11 and connect with the snap-fit ​​component 12. To improve the stability of the lamp body 11 fixed to the cabinet 2, at least two snap-fit ​​components 12 are provided at intervals along the length of the lamp body 11. For example, two snap-fit ​​components 12 are provided, located at opposite ends of the length of the lamp body 11.

[0037] refer to Figures 7-10 As shown, both the snap-fit ​​component 12 and the snap-fit ​​mating component 24 are U-shaped, with one opening facing upwards and the other facing downwards. The snap-fit ​​component 12 is partially inserted into the snap-fit ​​mating component 24. Simultaneously, a limiting protrusion 1231 is formed on the snap-fit ​​component 12, while a limiting groove 2431 is formed on the snap-fit ​​mating component 24. The upper and lower limits of the limiting protrusion 1231 are located within the limiting groove 2431, thereby restricting the snap-fit ​​component 12 and the snap-fit ​​mating component 24 from moving vertically. Furthermore, when the lamp body 11 abuts against the mounting surface 23 of the cabinet 2, the snap-fit ​​mating component 24 restricts the snap-fit ​​component 12 from moving away from the cabinet 2, while the mounting surface 23 of the cabinet 2 restricts the lamp body 11 from moving towards the cabinet 2. Thus, the lamp 1 is completely fixed to the cabinet 2.

[0038] Taking the snap-fit ​​part 12 with its opening facing downwards as an example, the snap-fit ​​part 12 includes a first fixing part 121, a first connecting part 122, and a snap-fit ​​part 123. The snap-fit ​​part 12 is fixed to the lamp body 11 by bolts passing through the first fixing part 121. The two ends of the first connecting part 122 are respectively connected to the snap-fit ​​part 123 and the first fixing part 121. The snap-fit ​​part 123 extends downwards to be able to be inserted into the slot. A limiting protrusion 1231 is formed in the snap-fit ​​part 123, and the opening of the snap-fit ​​mating part 24... Facing upwards to form a slot, the snap-fit ​​component 24 includes a second fixing part 241, a second connecting part 242, and a snap-fit ​​part 243. The snap-fit ​​component 24 is fixed to the cabinet 2 by bolts passing through the second fixing part 241. The two ends of the second connecting part 242 are respectively connected to the snap-fit ​​part 243 and the second fixing part 241. A limiting groove 2431 is formed in the snap-fit ​​part 243. After the snap-fit ​​part 123 is inserted into the slot, it can cooperate with the snap-fit ​​part 243 for limiting. For example, both the snap-fit ​​component 12 and the snap-fit ​​component 24 are made of metal material by bending, which is easy to process.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown, to reduce the difficulty of inserting the latching part 123 into the slot, the lower end of the latching part 123 is inclined towards the second fixing part 241. When the lamp 1 moves from top to bottom relative to the cabinet 2, the upper end of the latching part 243 abuts against the lower end of the latching part 123 and gradually moves towards the first fixing part 121 under the guidance of the lower end of the latching part 123, so that the latching part 123 can be smoothly inserted into the slot. After it is inserted into place, the lamp 1 is moved towards the cabinet 2, so that the second fixing part 241 enters the first clearance hole, and the lamp 1 abuts against the cabinet 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first clearance hole is the same as the area of ​​the second fixing part 241, and the setting of the second fixing part 241 further reduces the possibility of the lamp 1 moving up and down.

[0041] Specifically, the lamp body 11 includes a lampshade 111 and a lamp plate 113. The lamp plate 113, the snap-fit ​​component 12, and the threaded sleeve 16 are all built into the lampshade 111. The dimensions of the cabinet 2 can be customized according to actual needs. Therefore, the length of the lamp 1 is not necessarily adapted to the cabinet 2. In addition, the lampshade 111 includes a main housing 1111 and an end cap 1112. The main housing 1111 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at least at one end along its length. The main housing 1111 can be cut along its length. Multiple lamp plates 113 are connected in series inside the main housing 1111. The end cap 1112 is detachably fixed to the main housing 1111 to seal the opening. The threaded sleeve 16 and the snap-fit ​​component 12 are both fixed to the end cap 1112.

[0042] During actual assembly, the main housing 1111 of the lampshade 111 can be adapted to the size of the cabinet 2 and the specific assembly position, and a certain number of lamp panels 113 can be assembled to ensure that the length of the entire lamp 1 meets the installation requirements. After cutting, the end cap 1112 is fixed to the opening of the main housing 1111 to seal the opening.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the end cap 1112 is also configured as a cylindrical structure with one end open to provide sufficient space for the installation of the snap-fit ​​12 and the threaded sleeve 16. The end cap 1112 is fitted onto the main housing 1111.

[0044] Specifically, to improve the waterproof performance of the lamp 1, a raised sealing portion 1113 is provided on the end cap 1112 or the main housing 1111. When the end cap 1112 is fitted onto the main housing 1111, the sealing portion 1113 is interference-fitted with the main housing 1111 or the end cap 1112. For example, the sealing portion 1113 is a waterproof rubber ring.

[0045] In this embodiment, the main housing 1111 has openings at both ends of its length, and two end caps 1112 are provided, which respectively block the openings at both ends of the main housing 1111.

[0046] In this embodiment, the light panel 113 is connected to the power supply hidden in the cabinet 2 via the wire 112, thereby forming a power circuit. The end cover 1112 has an outlet hole through which the power supply wire 112 passes. In order to further improve the waterproof performance, the outlet hole is treated with a waterproof process, for example, the outlet hole and the wire 112 are filled with sealant.

[0047] refer to Figure 10 As shown, the lamp fixture 1 also includes a wire clamp 15, which is disposed inside the lamp cover 111. The wire 112 passes through the wire clamp 15. The wire clamp 15 is used to restrain the wire 112 on the side wall of the end cover 1112, preventing the wire 112 from falling off or making poor contact due to external pulling. It is worth emphasizing that the wire clamp 15 is disposed between the threaded sleeve 16 and the snap-fit ​​member 12 to reduce the movement of the wire 112 along its excessive length towards the main housing 1111, thereby obstructing light and creating shadows at the main housing 1111, which would affect the lighting effect of the lamp fixture 1. Moreover, there is a gap between the snap-fit ​​member 12 and the wire clamp 15, and a through hole is disposed between the wire clamp 15 and the snap-fit ​​member 12 to prevent the wire 112 from contacting the threaded sleeve 16 or the snap-fit ​​member 12 and causing a short circuit.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
