Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of panel light technology, and in particular to a panel housing and a panel light. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern lighting technology, panel lights, as a common indoor lighting fixture, are widely used in various scenarios such as commercial, office, and home lighting. In existing technologies, the panel light's housing consists of a fixedly connected panel shell and a back panel. However, through further production research, the inventors discovered that the existing one-piece molding design of the panel shell requires manufacturers to redesign the entire panel shell (to accommodate the corresponding functional modules) whenever a new function (such as therapeutic functions) is added to the existing panel light. Furthermore, the existing panel shell occupies a significant amount of space, thus increasing transportation and storage costs. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0038] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "setting," "installing," and "connecting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a panel housing, comprising a back plate 100 and three module housings 200. The module housings 200 are used for mounting functional modules. Each module housing 200 has a sliding groove S on its top front and top rear sides. The front and rear parts of the back plate 100 are detachably and slidably mounted on two sliding grooves S of the module housings 200, corresponding one-to-one. The three module housings 200 on the back plate 100 are arranged side-by-side in a left-right direction. The functional modules can be configured as lighting modules, physiotherapy modules, etc.
[0040] It is understood that the dimensions of the panel housing (i.e., the dimensions of the back panel 100 and the module housing 200) can be designed according to user requirements, as detailed in the following references. Figures 6 to 10 As shown.
[0041] Through the above structure, on the one hand, the traditional one-piece panel shell is decomposed into multiple (multiple means at least two) independent modular shells 200. Each modular shell 200 can be independently designed and equipped with a module with a specific function (such as basic lighting, physiotherapy, speaker, etc.). When it is necessary to add or change the function of the panel light, it is only necessary to design or replace the corresponding modular shell 200 for the specific function, without redesigning the entire panel shell. This significantly reduces the development cycle and production cost of new functional products. On the other hand, the modular design allows the panel shell to be disassembled during transportation or storage (separating the back panel 100 and each modular shell 200), so that each modular shell 200 and the back panel 100 can be stacked / compactly arranged. This can effectively reduce the volume of the product in the non-use state, thereby significantly reducing transportation or storage costs.
[0042] In some embodiments, the module shell 200 may be configured as two, four, etc.
[0043] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In two adjacent module shells 200, one of the module shells 200 is provided with a spacer post 210, which abuts against the other module shell 200, so that there is a space between the two adjacent module shells 200.
[0044] Through the above structure, the spacing can reduce the interference between functional modules on one module shell 200 and functional modules on an adjacent module shell 200. For example, when the two functional modules on two adjacent module shells 200 are a physiotherapy module and a lighting module, the spacing can reduce the heat generated by the physiotherapy module during operation from being transferred to the lighting module, thereby reducing the interference between the physiotherapy module and the lighting module.
[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 One of the two adjacent module shells 200 is provided with a shielding part 220, which abuts against the other module shell 200 and together forms a shielding cavity, with a spacer post 210 located in the shielding cavity.
[0046] With the above structure, the spacer 210 is located in the shielding cavity, which can prevent users from observing the spacer 210 from bottom to top, from front to back, or from back to front, thereby optimizing the user's perception of the product.
[0047] To improve the structural stability of the panel housing, two adjacent module housings 200 are detachably connected; for details, refer to... Figure 4In two adjacent module shells 200, one module shell 200 has a first hole 211 on the spacer post 210, and the other module shell 200 has a second hole 260. Fasteners are inserted through the first hole 211 and the second hole 260. The second hole 260 can be a through hole, the first hole 211 can be a screw hole, and the fastener can be a bolt.
[0048] The top front and top rear parts of the module housing 200 are both provided with sliding grooves S. For details, refer to... Figures 2 to 4 The top side of the module shell 200 is provided with a setting surface 230, and the front and rear parts of the setting surface 230 are provided with folded edges 240. The setting surface 230 and the folded edges 240 together form a sliding groove S.
[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The back panel 100 is detachably equipped with limiting blocks 300 on both the left and right sides. The front and rear ends of the limiting block 300 on the left abut against the two folded edges 240 of the leftmost module shell 200, respectively. The front and rear ends of the limiting block 300 on the right abut against the two folded edges 240 of the rightmost module shell 200, respectively, so as to restrict the left and right movement of the back panel 100 (to prevent the back panel 100 from disengaging from the slide groove S). The limiting blocks 300 are detachably provided on the back panel 100 by screwing.
[0050] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The module housing 200 is provided with a mounting cavity 250 for installing functional modules. The mounting cavity 250 has an upwardly facing opening 251, which is covered by a back plate 100.
[0051] This utility model also proposes a panel light, which includes a lighting function module and the aforementioned panel housing. The mounting cavity 250 of the leftmost module housing 200 and the mounting cavity 250 of the rightmost module housing 200 are both provided with the aforementioned lighting function module. The lighting function module can be configured as an LED light panel.
[0052] The above structure can reduce the development cycle and production cost of new functional products, as well as reduce transportation or warehousing costs.
[0053] In this embodiment, a physiotherapy function module is also included. The mounting cavity 250 of the module housing 200 in the middle is provided with the aforementioned physiotherapy function module, so that the panel light of this application is set as a physiotherapy panel light. The physiotherapy function module can be configured as an electrothermal glass physiotherapy component.
[0054] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
