Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a panel light, and more particularly to a thin panel light. Background Technology
[0002] To improve the uniformity of light emission, current direct-lit panel lights typically require a thicker backplate.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Figure 1 This is an exploded view of a thin panel lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a first perspective view of a thin panel lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a second perspective view of a thin panel light according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the thin panel light 1 includes a flat back plate 11, multiple light-emitting modules 12, a lampshade 13, a frame 14, and a driving module 15.
[0030] The flat back panel 11 has a plurality of grooves GV, and the plurality of grooves GV are disposed on one side of the flat back panel 11. In one embodiment, the flat back panel 11 may be made of metal, such as aluminum, iron, copper, stainless steel, etc. In another embodiment, the flat back panel 11 may also be made of plastic.
[0031] A lampshade 13 is disposed on one side of a flat backplate 11 and covers the plurality of light-emitting modules 12. The lampshade 13 has a central light-emitting portion 131 and an outer edge portion 132 surrounding the central light-emitting portion 131. This structural design effectively improves the structural strength of the lampshade 13. In one embodiment, the lampshade 13 is made of a transparent or translucent material, such as plastic or glass. In one embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting modules 12 are light-emitting diode (LED) strips. In another embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting modules 12 may be a light source board including a plurality of LEDs. In yet another embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting modules 12 may also be various existing light sources (such as light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, etc.).
[0032] The frame 14 is fixed to one side of the flat back panel 11. The frame 14 can be fixed to one side of the flat back panel 11 by a plurality of fasteners FX. In one embodiment, the frame 14 can be made of metal, such as aluminum, iron, copper, stainless steel, etc. In another embodiment, the frame 14 can also be made of plastic. In one embodiment, the plurality of fasteners FX are screws. In another embodiment, the plurality of fasteners FX can also be nails, rivets, or other similar components.
[0033] The driving module 15 is disposed on the other side of the flat backplate 11 and is electrically connected to the plurality of light-emitting modules 12. In one embodiment, the driving module 15 is a light-emitting diode driver. In another embodiment, the driving module 15 may also be a driver for various existing light sources.
[0034] As described above, the lampshade 13 has a central light-emitting portion 131 and an outer edge portion 132 surrounding the central light-emitting portion 131. Therefore, when the user fixes the frame 14 to one side of the flat back panel 11 using multiple fasteners FX, the outer edge portion 132 of the lampshade 13 is positioned between the frame 14 and the flat back panel 11 and is held between the frame 14 and the flat back panel 11. The central light-emitting portion 131 of the lampshade 13 protrudes from the frame 14. In this way, the lampshade 13 can be securely fixed between the frame 14 and the flat back panel 11 without any fixing structure.
[0035] As described above, in this embodiment, due to the structural design of the flat back panel 11, there is no protrusion on the other side of the flat back panel 11. Therefore, when the thin panel light 1 is installed on the ceiling, it will not interfere with the ceiling beams. Thus, users can easily install the thin panel light 1 in different positions on the ceiling, allowing the thin panel light 1 to meet the needs of different applications.
[0036] Furthermore, as mentioned above, in this embodiment, the lampshade 13 has a central light-emitting portion 131 and an outer edge portion 132 surrounding the central light-emitting portion. The outer edge portion 132 is disposed between the frame 14 and the flat back plate 11 and is held by the frame 14 and the flat back plate 11, while the central light-emitting portion 131 protrudes from the frame 14. The three-dimensional structural design of the lampshade 13 can significantly increase the light-emitting area of the lampshade 13 and improve the illumination range of the light. Therefore, the luminous efficacy of the thin panel lamp 1 can be significantly improved.
[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the frame 14 can be fixed to one side of the flat back plate 11 by multiple fasteners FX. Thus, the lampshade 13 can be held between the frame 14 and the flat back plate 11. Through this special fixing structure, the structure of the thin panel light 1 can be greatly simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the thin panel light 1 can be significantly reduced, making its application more widespread.
[0038] Of course, this embodiment is only used for illustration and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Equivalent modifications or changes made to the thin panel lamp 1 according to this embodiment should still be included within the patent scope of this utility model.
[0039] It is worth mentioning that existing direct-lit panel lights typically require increased backplate thickness. However, such a design can easily interfere with ceiling beams during actual installation, making it difficult to install the panel light smoothly. Therefore, existing direct-lit panel lights are limited in application and cannot meet the needs of different applications. On the other hand, although existing panel lights with side-emitting function have certain advantages, which are beneficial for installation in space-constrained situations, their overall luminous efficacy is relatively low, making it difficult to achieve ideal levels in terms of actual lighting effect and energy efficiency requirements, thus failing to meet the needs of practical applications. In contrast, according to an embodiment of this utility model, the thin panel light includes a flat backplate, multiple light-emitting modules, a lampshade, a frame, and a driving module. The flat backplate has multiple grooves, and the multiple grooves are disposed on one side of the flat backplate. The lampshade is disposed on one side of the flat backplate and covers the multiple light-emitting modules. The frame is fixed to one side of the flat backplate. The driving module is disposed on the other side of the flat backplate and is electrically connected to the multiple light-emitting modules. The lampshade has a central light-emitting part and an outer edge surrounding the central light-emitting part. The outer edge is positioned between the frame and the flat back panel, and is held in place by both. Due to the structural design of the flat back panel, there is no protrusion on the other side, so the slim panel light will not interfere with ceiling beams when installed on the ceiling. Therefore, users can easily install the slim panel light in different locations on the ceiling, allowing it to meet various application needs.
[0040] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this utility model, the lampshade has a central light-emitting portion and an outer edge portion surrounding the central light-emitting portion. The outer edge portion is disposed between and held by the frame and the flat back plate, while the central light-emitting portion protrudes from the frame. This three-dimensional structural design of the lampshade can significantly increase the light-emitting area and improve the illumination range. Therefore, the luminous efficacy of the thin panel light can be greatly improved to meet the needs of practical applications.
[0041] Furthermore, according to embodiments of this invention, the frame can be fixed to one side of the flat back panel by multiple fasteners, while the lampshade can be held between the frame and the flat back panel. Through this unique fixing structure, the structure of the thin panel light can be significantly simplified. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the thin panel light can be greatly reduced, allowing for wider application.
[0042] Furthermore, according to embodiments of this utility model, the lampshade has a central light-emitting portion and an outer edge portion surrounding the central light-emitting portion. This structural design effectively enhances the structural strength of the lampshade, making it less prone to breakage under external force. Therefore, the structural stability of the thin panel light can be significantly improved, making it more suitable for practical applications.
[0043] Furthermore, according to the embodiments of this utility model, the thin panel light has a simple structural design, thus achieving the desired effect while reducing costs. Therefore, the practicality of the thin panel light can be greatly improved, and it conforms to future development trends. As can be seen from the above, the thin panel light according to the embodiments of this utility model can indeed achieve excellent technical effects.
[0044] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 . Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the installation status of an existing direct-lit panel light. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation state of a thin panel light according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, when the existing direct-down panel light 1' is installed on the ceiling CE, it may be interfered with by the beam HP due to the height of the back panel.
[0045] Conversely, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slim panel light 1 features a flat backplate 11 design, which effectively avoids obstruction by the beam HP when installed on the ceiling CE, without being interfered with by the beam HP. This structural design provides users with greater flexibility and convenience during installation. Regardless of the configuration of the beam HP on the ceiling CE, a suitable installation position can be selected according to actual needs, ensuring that the slim panel light 1 has more diverse applications in the space and can be adjusted to meet different environmental conditions or lighting requirements, thereby improving overall installation efficiency and usage flexibility.
[0046] Of course, this embodiment is only used for illustration and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Equivalent modifications or changes made to the thin panel lamp 1 according to this embodiment should still be included within the patent scope of this utility model.
